无锡市中考题型组合练 （完形填空5篇+阅读理解10篇+任务型阅读5篇） 一、完形填空 Hannah tightened the helmet belt. A man’s voice came from the loudspeakers, “Racers in the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race, please gather behind the orange flags. Attention please! All the racers must follow the lead-out during the competition. Orange arrows show you the way.” Hannah was so 1 because the first prize was a modern bike. On a bike like that, she’d fly through the woods. “Good luck,” the loudspeakers said. “Three, two, one and go!” The lead-out, a man in bright orange with the words “Follow Me” printed on his shirt, started 2 down the road. The racers followed close behind. Hannah squeezed her bike between a boy in a black suit and a girl with a silver helmet. She wanted to take off, but she knew she wasn’t 3 to pass the lead-out. Soon, a girl with red hair rolled in behind the lead-out. Hannah followed close behind the girl, but the girl was speeding up. Then they both disappeared behind a thick stand of trees. Hannah 4 for the orange arrows marking the course and biked through the muddy fields. Then she saw the girl putting the chain (链条) on the chain ring, the lead-out next to her. After noticing Hannah, he jumped on his bike. Hannah followed him 5 the girl into the woods quickly. Maybe she could win. She felt herself full of 6 when she got closer；the lead-out pulled away, disappearing around a bend again. Luckily, to her left, was the sign with the orange arrow. When she turned, her foot accidentally kicked the sign over. “I need to 7 and fix the sign,” she thought. But even as she was thinking this, her feet kept moving faster. “Hannah Anderson, winner of the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race!” the man on the loudspeakers announced as she passed the finish line. “Hey!” Hannah turned and saw the girl with red hair jump off her bike. “Good job! I thought I almost had you, but I must have 8 a trail sign.” Hannah’s face turned red at once. Looking at the girl’s old rusty bike, she said nothing. After the presentation, Hannah looked around and finally found the girl. “I accidentally kicked the sign over,” Hannah said 9 . “I want you to have the bike.” “Are you sure?” the shocked girl asked, couldn’t believe her 10 . “I’m sure.” Hannah said, a little louder. The girl was beaming now, her finger moving along the shiny blue bike. “Are you racing in the Copper Harbor next weekend?” she asked. “I am.” Hannah smiled. “Yes. Let’s see who wins then. Fair and Square.” 1．A．relaxed B．excited C．afraid D．proud 2．A．riding B．running C．walking D．jogging 3．A．required B．forced C．allowed D．encouraged 4．A．hoped B．waited C．asked D．watched 5．A．past B．over C．beside D．behind 6．A．time B．love C．wisdom D．energy 7．A．hurry B．stop C．hide D．count 8．A．repaired B．checked C．missed D．touched 9．A．softly B．angrily C．happily D．rudely 10．A．heart B．mind C．ears D．eyes 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “We’ll go to the carousel (旋转木马) later when I’m done shopping,” said Mama.

During every ride, one gold ring 12 in the dispenser (取环器). The lucky rider who caught it got a free giant ice-cream. Silver rings 13 another ride. I wanted the gold one. We bought carrots for dinner and hurried toward the carousel. Across the crowd, I noticed my good friend Alice. “Are you going to ride?” I asked. She shook her head. “Papa doesn’t have any coins today.” I could feel the weight of two coins in my pocket. Mama wouldn’t 14 if I shared. “Do you want to ride with me?” Alice nodded happily. “I’m going to share my coins with Alice,” I whispered to Mama. Her smile told me that I made the right 15 . The carousel stopped and we stepped up. I needed to be 16 when I picked my horse to reach the ring. Later a blue horse on the outside caught my eye. “This one,” I said proudly, climbing on and holding the pole tightly. Alice picked the one right 17 me. The music started and the horses went up and down. The girl ahead got a silver ring. She seemed happy. There wouldn’t be another ring for a few seconds. When I went by, it was 18 . We spun around again, and I heard the music started to slow. It stood for only one more chance for me to get that ring. And then I saw the gold ring sliding (滑) down. I reached out… but I 19 . It slipped through my fingers. Behind me, Alice started screaming. I couldn’t bear to look back. I knew she had got the gold ring. The music stopped. “I got it!” she shouted. She was so happy that I couldn’t be 20 . Alice ran off to show her papa, and I returned to my mama, “Maybe next time.” After a few minutes, I saw Alice running through the crowd. “Gracie!” she shouted, holding up the ice cream. “Let’s share it!” 11．A．agree B．complain C．attack D．cancel 12．A．appeared B．sold C．waited D．rose 13．A．meant B．offered C．cost D．served 14．A．worry B．mind C．insist D．believe 15．A．advice B．promise C．decision D．reply 16．A．calm B．ready C．quick D．careful 17．A．behind B．ahead C．near D．below 18．A．missing B．locked C．empty D．broken 19．A．left B．forgot C．refused D．failed 20．A．curious B．unhappy C．nervous D．unusual Mr. Allen held out a glass of water with three ice cubes in it. “Why do things float?” he asked the class. No one said a word. The whole class was 21 . “Anyone?” Mr. Allen smiled at his students. “Let’s brainstorm some answers.” He swirled (旋动) the glass gently. The three ice cubes bobbed up and down in the water, then floated back to the 22 . “How about some guesses...” He paused, scanning the students’ faces. “Any guesses?” The students 23 quiet. A few of them looked at each other and shrugged. Others tapped their fingers. “What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Remember, there are 24 right or wrong answers.” Mr. Allen did his best to keep his smile warm and inviting. Still, no one spoke up. The students tried to 25 Mr. Allen’s gaze (注视). Mr. Allen scratched his head.“Okay,” he said. “How about this—who can give me the worst answer you can think of?” “The worst one?” asked Miguel from the back of the room. “That’s right.” Mr. Allen nodded. “Oh!” exclaimed Martika. “I’ve got it! Things floating because they have wings!” Alex snorted (哼), “If they had wings, they’d be 26 not floating.” Martika rolled her eyes at him. “It’s supposed to be a bad answer. What’s your bad answer?” “Uhh…well…” Alex’s face turned red. “Magic?” “That’s a 27 one!” said Mr. Allen quickly. “Sometimes science can seem just like magic 28 we work out what’s going on.” “Maybe things float because ghosts are carrying them?” Tyler said. “Or invisible (隐形的) giants!” added Ella. “Well, I think clouds float in the sky, so we can lie in the grass and look at cloud 29 ,”giggled Cassie. “I always see three-headed elephants!” A few students laughed. Hands went 30 all around the room. “I see aliens!” “And giant pizzas!” Soon the whole class was hooting with laughter. “I like looking at clouds, too.” Mr. Allen grinned, picking up the glass of water. “Clouds are made of lots of little water drops.” 21．A．excited B．noisy C．active D．silent 22．A．left B．right C．top D．bottom 23．A．turned B．proved C．became D．remained 24．A．no B．any C．some D．many 25．A．meet B．feel C．avoid D．fix 26．A．climbing B．flying C．swimming D．jumping 27．A．good B．bad C．strange D．terrible 28．A．when B．while C．after D．until 29．A．animals B．flowers C．foods D．trees 30．A．down B．up C．away D．around 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was the longest heat wave anyone could remember, and Sebastian couldn’t wait to cool off at the beach with his dad. Before heading out of town, they stopped at the 31 down the street and dropped off a few books. Sebastian noticed a crew, working on the roof (屋顶). “What are they doing?” He asked. Dad watched them for a moment. “Fixing the roof.” He 32 his head as he pulled out of their parking space and drove away.“Hot day for that. I worked on a roofing crew for a few years. The hardest job I ever had.” An idea popped into Sebastian’s head: I bet they could use some water. But the idea vanished quickly, and his thoughts turned to 33 . When they drove back by the library, the roofers were still working. “Do you think they have enough 34 ?” Sebastian asked. “I’m sure they brought plenty on a day like this,” Dad said. But he didn’t sound very 35 . On the way home, Sebastian thought again about taking some water to the roofers while half listening to the weather report. He shared the idea with his father. “I think you’re right. It’s only going to get 36 .” said his father. As they drove up to the library, a man in a green T-shirt nodded a greeting. Sebastian suddenly felt 37 and wanted to turn back, but it was too late. “I, um, thought you all might be thirsty, so we brought you some water,” he said. A surprised smile came over the man’s face. “Hey, everyone, come into the shade for a water break!” He said to the others. “Thank you!” They all said as they passed around the bottles. “We 38 bring water, but it was so hot today that we ran out,” one of the crew members said. They finished their water and put the empty bottles back into the bag. “Thank you again.” The crew waved to Sebastian and his dad as they drove away. “That was a nice thing you did today,” Dad said when they walked inside their house. “It was no big 39 ,” said Sebastian. “Maybe so, but sometimes it’s the little things people 40 for a long time.” It was a small thing, but still, it made Sebastian feel good.

One day, my mom took me shopping at a store. While she was busy looking at other things, I found myself in front of the gum (口香糖) shelf. The colorful packs of gum looked so 41 . I knew it was wrong, but the gum seemed to have a magical pull on me. “Just one pack. No one will take notice.” I kept telling myself, waiting for the right moment. After about 30 42 , I finally made my move. Just as I put the gum into my pocket, my mom called, “Come on, we’re leaving!” As we walked away, a store worker walked up to my mom. “Ma’am, your son took a pack of gum.” he said firmly. My mom’s face turned red with anger. “That’s 43 ! My son is honest and good. He would never do such a thing!” she 44 . But the store worker explained that all the workers had been watching me for half an hour. They guessed I would steal and it was challenging for them to wait so long before I 45 did it. My mom then 46 me and checked my pockets. And she found nothing. The man was surprised, and my mom was proud. “See? He didn’t take anything! I’ve told you my boy is always honest. You made a mistake.” Seeing the man’s face turn red, I felt really sorry. Telling the truth meant punishment and 47 the gum while keeping it secret would make me feel guilty inside. I knew it was time to make a 48 . As he started to walk away, I quickly took off my cap, 49 inside and offered the pack of gum to him. I said sorry from the bottom of my heart. If the man was surprised before, he was shocked now, as was my mother, but for a different reason. 50 I was punished for what I did, I never regretted telling the truth.

Now, few people wear straw rain capes anymore. But in the past, they were popular, especially among farmers and fishermen. The straw rain capes were described in lots of poems and articles in different periods. They were everywhere in the countryside of China in the 1970s. But as society develops, it is slowly losing its place. Later, other materials were found to be more suitable for making rain capes. Fan Licai, a woman in Zhuliangzhuang Village, Lianyungang City of Jiangsu Province, has a special love for straw rain capes. It is said that she is the only one still making straw rain capes for a living in Ganyu District. The woman learned the skill when she was 12. When she was young, she could make two capes in three days, and make a living for her family. Now her children ask her not to make capes anymore. They think she should enjoy her time. However, she still continues to make straw rain capes to keep this traditional skill alive. Making a straw rain cape needs 4 kilograms of straw, and for Fan now needs 4-5 days to finish a single cape. “Still, I hope more people will learn about this traditional skill. I wish someone would take it up and keep it going for years to come. It is not just a straw rain cape, but a special part of our culture and history.” Fan said. 51．Who wore straw rain capes most in the past? 52．Where were straw rain capes seen in the 1970s? 53．When did Fan Licai begin to learn the skill? 54．How much time does Fan Licai need to make one cape now? 55．What can we do to keep traditional skills like making straw rain capes alive? 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。 In early 2026, a strange new trend started on the Chinese internet. Millions of people began talking about “raising lobsters”. They didn’t mean real sea animals. “Lobster” was a fun name for a new AI tool called OpenClaw. Because its logo is a red lobster, people joked that installing (安装) it was like “raising” a pet. This craze spread quickly online. What Is the “Lobster”? Traditional AI tools are smart, but they mostly talk to you online. OpenClaw is different. It acts like a helper right inside your computer. When you give an order, it uses AI to control your browser (浏览器), open files, and run apps. However, because it needs to use your files fully, it can cause privacy risks if you are not careful. What makes OpenClaw different from tools like Doubao? First, it can use apps by itself. Common AI cannot send messages to your friends. But OpenClaw can read your chats and use WeChat automatically (自动地). This sounds a bit scary, but it is very useful. For example, a teacher can use it to automatically send daily homework to the whole class and reply to students. Second, OpenClaw has deep control over your computer. To read a file with Doubao, you must upload it yourself. But OpenClaw can freely find and read files on your hard drive. Imagine a teacher saves photos of students’ homework. OpenClaw can open the photos, grade the homework and collect the mistakes. It creates a personal “mistake notebook” for each student. Finally, it uses WeChat to send these notebooks back to them. More Than Just a Tool This trend introduces a new idea: “AI agents.” We will tell smart AI agents to use other tools for us. This technology is still new. Young people shouldn’t blindly follow every trend. We must understand these tools and use them safely. As one scientist said: “Before jumping into the ocean, learn how to swim.” 56．What was the fun name for the AI tool OpenClaw? 57．Why might OpenClaw cause privacy risks? 58．What kind of tasks can OpenClaw do for a teacher? Give one example. 59．How can OpenClaw send “mistake notebook” back to students? 60．What’s the writer’s main advice about the new AI tools? 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词。 Datiehua, the iron flower, is a Chinese intangible cultural heritage (遗产) with over 500 years of history. It began in the Ming Dynasty and was first a festival performance by blacksmiths (铁匠). Now it becomes a popular art show that attracts people from all over the world. The Datiehua performance is both wonderful and dangerous. Blacksmiths heat iron to 1500 ℃ to make it bright red. Then they hit the hot iron with big hammers (锤子). Lots of golden sparks fly high into the dark night sky, looking like thousands of golden flowers blooming. The performers wear special thick clothes to protect themselves, and they need great courage to do this job well. Nuanquan Town in Hebei Province is the most famous place for Datiehua shows. Every year during the Lantern Festival, many people come here to watch the show. Datiehua is more than an art performance. It is a symbol of Chinese traditional culture. It shows the wisdom and courage of Chinese people, and we should protect this great heritage forever. In 2006, Datiehua was listed as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. However, the art faces challenges. The physical demands (要求) and risks make it difficult to find young people willing to learn it. 61．How long is the history of Datiehua? 62．Why do the performers wear special thick clothes? 63．Where is the most famous place for Datiehua shows? 64．What challenges does Datiehua face today? 65．In your opinion, what else can we do to make Datiehua more popular? 每题答案不超过7个单词。 Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat. He was not happy with the sea food we had eaten for the last two months. Conseil agreed with him, and I asked Captain Nemo if he would put us on land for a short time. I thought he would refuse and was surprised when he agreed. We were allowed to use the boat. Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone. Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts at once. We drank the milk. Then, we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds. Ned shot two pigeons, which we cooked and ate for lunch. In the afternoon, he shot a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked. We all ran to the boat. About one hundred savages (野人) followed us into the water as we rowed away, but they could not catch us.                 Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo. He was playing his piano. I told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land, Dr. Aronnax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said. “How many are there?” “About one hundred.” “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. 66．Why did Ned want to go onto the island? 67．Who didn’t go onto the island with them? 68．How many times did the men go onto the island in the passage? 69．What was Nemo doing when the three friends were chased back to the Nautilus by savages? 70．How did Nemo feel when he heard about the savages on land? 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过7个单词。 Have you ever considered walking through a giant puzzle? In a corn maze (玉米迷宫), people can follow miles of winding (弯曲的) paths and run into lots of dead ends before they finally find their way out. For many farmers, showing families the way out can give the farm a lot of extra money. Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s. In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz! During the opening weekend, 6,000 visitors came to get lost in the maze. Charging (收费) only $5 per person, Mr. Frantz earned almost $32,000 in two weeks. The creation was named the world’s largest maze by Guinness World Records! Since then, thousands of corn mazes have been created around the world, and several have broken that record. “Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),” Don Frantz said. “People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.” About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa. That’s where owner Adam Hohl once got lost in his own maze as he led a family the way out. Today, Harvestville Farm’s corn maze is as big as nine football fields. Mr Hohl said, “When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.” 71．When did simple corn mazes appear? 72．Who made the first big corn maze? 73．How many visitors travel to Harvestville Farm every year? 74．Why are people interested in corn mazes according to Don Frantz? 75．What does Mr Hohl mean in the last paragraph? 三、阅读理解 The Dream Builder Finn’s younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency (免疫缺陷) disease, making the outside world a dangerous place. Finn saw the longing in Leo’s eyes when he talked about his own hikes or bike rides. Finn was a member of his school’s tech club. He’d built robots. One night, watching Leo get lost in a map, Finn had an idea: If Leo couldn’t go to the world, he would bring the world to Leo. He called this idea “The Dreamwalker.” It was about creating a personalized, sensory experience. Finn improved an old virtual reality (VR) headset, but the key was a pair of special gloves he engineered himself. They could simulate (模拟) the feeling of touching different things. Then came the hard part: building the “worlds”. For a week, Finn took a 360-degree camera on his hike. He didn’t just film; he recorded the sound of the river, the wind, and the birds. He reached out and touched hard stones, soft grass, and cold water, noting the exact sensation. Back in the lab, he synchronized (同步) the videos to the headset. He programmed the gloves: When Leo “touched” the river, some water produced by an improved computer cooling fan would hit his face, and the special gloves would help him feel the movement of the water. Then came the first test. Leo put on the headset and gloves, and started the program. He was silent for a minute. Then, “I can...feel the river!” he said. His smile widened behind the headset. For twenty minutes, Leo explored, reaching out, laughing as water hit his face by the “river”. Finn filmed Leo’s reaction, a joy he hadn’t seen in years. He realized that the highest purpose of technology and skill isn’t to win competitions or create new inventions. It’s to be a bridge. It’s to use your knowledge as a tool for understanding and to give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience. He learned that the greatest engineering is the kind that connects one human heart to another. 76．Why was the outside world a dangerous place for Leo? A．Because he was too young. B．Because he had poor eyesight. C．Because he got lost easily outside. D．Because he had a serious disease. 77．What did Finn do for Leo? A．He created a set of sensory tools. B．He personalized a special robot. C．He recorded all of his bike rides. D．He bought a VR headset with nature programs. 78．What did Finn learn from this experience? A．Human connections are based on the development of technology. B．Technology finds its true value in enriching the life of loved ones. C．Diseases cannot hold back the dreams of those who never give up. D．Engineering can help people win awards and prizes in competitions. We gave Merrick two rooms at the back of the hospital. One room was a bathroom, so he could have a bath every day. Soon his skin was much better. The second room had a bed, table, and chairs. He had never had a room of his own before. I visited him every day, and talked to him. He loved reading, and talking about books. He was very happy. But sometimes it was difficult for him. One day a new nurse came to the hospital. She took his food to his room, and opened the door. Then she screamed, and ran out of the room. I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. To my surprise, he didn’t move and just watched her as she cried. “People don’t like looking at me. I know that,” he said. “They usually laugh or scream.” “Well, I don’t want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph,” I said angrily. “I want them to help you. This is your home now.” “Thank you, doctor,” he said, in his strange slow voice. “But it’s not important. I understand that.” In his one good hand, he had the little picture of his mother. He looked at the picture for a minute. A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his ugly face. “Dr Treves,” he said, slowly. “You and the nurses are very kind. Thank you very much. But I know I can’t stay here long, and…I would like to live in a lighthouse, or a home for blind people. I think those are the best places for me.” “What do you mean?” I asked. He did not look at me. He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully. “Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn’t see me, could they?” “But Joseph,” I said. “This is your home. You aren’t going to leave the hospital.” “You are a kind man, Dr. Treves. But I can’t stay here very long. I have no money.” I smiled. “Joseph,” I said. “You can stay here all your life. This will always be your home.” He was very quiet for a minute. Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly. A strange sound came from him, like laughing. —adapted from Elephant Man 79．When Merrick watched the nurse crying, he probably felt a sense of ______. A．sorrow B．pity C．fear D．surprise 80．What can we infer from the passage? A．Merrick kept his mother’s photo to cheer himself up. B．Merrick hoped to become a lighthouse keeper one day. C．Merrick thought Dr Treves would finally understand his pain. D．Merrick believed that being unseen was the way to be accepted. 81．Which is the best title for this story? A．A Kind Doctor B．A Special Promise C．Merrick’s First Home D．Merrick’s Big Change At a summer party, mosquitoes bite some guests while others stay bite-free. New research helps explain why: Some people just taste better. “Mosquitoes like something in our sweat (汗),” says Lisa Baik at Yale University. She studies how insects, especially mosquitoes, sense their world. Baik’s team shared their findings last November in Nature. Mosquitoes feed on the blood of the animals they bite and can cause diseases like malaria and dengue. Knowing what causes mosquitoes to bite or not can help researchers develop better methods of control, according to Baik’s team. For example, according to Baik’s team, mosquitoes taste the surface before biting. This means that sweat may play a big role when mosquitoes decide to bite. There is water, salt and amino acids (氨基酸) in human sweat. To find out what mosquitoes prefer, the researchers put salt and amino acids on separate surfaces. Mosquitoes ignored both. However, when the team mixed them on the same surface, mosquitoes bit. The researchers then looked at activity in certain mosquito nerve (神经) cells involved in taste. Some sweat samples had a larger effect on the activity of these nerve cells than others. “That shows taste could be one of the reasons why some of us get bitten a lot more than others,” Baik says. Tasting requires touch. We use our lips, mouth and tongue to taste. Mosquitoes are the same. A long tube extends from their face like a straw (吸管). At the end of that “straw” are two small, lip-like parts that can touch a surface. The researchers examined those lips. They had little hairs on them. Nerve cells inside the hairs responded (作出反应) to touch. Then the team tested how the hairs responded to different things. When sugar touched the hairs, the nerve cells became active. Some bitter compounds (苦味化合物), though, stopped the nerve cells’ response to sugar. “This was exciting and surprising,” says Baik. “This type of activity hasn’t been seen in other insects.” Adding bitter compounds to sugar reduced the sweet response. It also made mosquitoes less likely to feed. “This showed that we could use bitter compounds as a way to stop the feeding of mosquitoes,” says Baik. Baik is now hunting for just the right compound to stop mosquitoes from biting people. “It should be safe, low-cost and friendly to the environment.

Although the celebrations change from place to place, people from almost every corner of the country, as well as many overseas Chinese, spend the evening watching Chunwan, the Spring Festival Gala produced by China Central Television (CCTV). It is one of the most important television events on China’s entertainment calendar. For many Chinese, the Spring Festival Gala creates a magical feeling. It brings back good memories of family gatherings. People find it great fun and encouraging. With a mix of comedy acts, songs and dance, acrobatic (杂技的) and magic shows, the Spring Festival Gala represents the highest level of entertainment by top performers (表演者), who are chosen across China. Before and after the Spring Festival Gala every year, all kinds of discussions about the program become a popular cultural event. The gala has made several artists famous, and many have come back for repeat appearances. Families sit around their TV sets with snacks, ready to catch every moment of the wonderful performances on Chinese New Year’s Eve. The tradition began in 1983 when the first Spring Festival Gala was held. There were song-and-dance performances by artists. People could even phone in to ask for their favourite song. From then on, the show has begun at 8 p.m. every Chinese New Year’s Eve and lasted until the early morning of the New Year. In 1984, comedy sketches and skits (喜剧小品) were added to the line-up, becoming a key part of the gala. The performances often cover the hottest topics in people’s work and daily life over the past year, such as family and school life. As technology develops, the stage becomes bigger as well. In recent years, some parts of the show have been performed and broadcast in different places across the country. The show is a great chance to understand people’s experiences in China in the past year, and it shows China’s technological and social development in many ways. Now almost forty years since it started, Chunwan has grown into something more than just a television show. It represents a nationally shared experience, a collective memory. Over 40 years from now, it may look completely different from what we’re experiencing today. 86．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The importance of the Spring Festival Gala. B．The history of the Spring Festival Gala. C．How people spend Chinese New Year’s Eve. D．Different celebrations of the Chinese New Year. 87．Which is the writer’s opinion rather than a fact?

A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 5 D．Paragraph 7 89．What can we infer about the Spring Festival Gala? A．It has stayed the same since 1983. B．It will continue to change with society. C．It will soon be replaced by new TV programs. D．It only shows the highest level of singing and dancing. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is becoming popular around the world. Many health food stores sell Chinese herbs, and most cities have acupuncture (针灸) clinics. Some Western doctors even recommend TCM for certain problems, like using acupuncture for back pain or herbal tea for sleep issues. In China, TCM is very common. About 28% of all medicine sold is herbal (草药), and there are over 4,000 TCM hospitals. However, many people outside China don’t know much about how TCM works. TCM has a long history. While other ancient cultures thought evil spirits caused illness, Chinese doctors believed sickness came from natural causes and could be cured with natural remedies. A famous early doctor was Bian Que, who created the basic TCM diagnostic method that doctors still use today. They look at the patient’s face and tongue, listen to their breathing, ask about symptoms, and check their pulse. TCM is based on several key ideas. The first is qi, the life energy flowing through our bodies. Then there’s yin and yang—opposite forces that need to be balanced. Yin represents cool and dark qualities, while yang stands for heat and light. Health depends on keeping these forces in balance. Another concept is the Five Elements Theory, which connects body parts to wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. TCM treatments include herbal medicines and acupuncture. Herbs are chosen based on their properties—some are warming, others cooling. Different flavors like spicy or bitter also affect how the medicine works. Acupuncture uses thin needles placed at specific points along energy paths called meridians to help qi flow better. Today, TCM is accepted in over 50 countries. UNESCO has recognized acupuncture as an important cultural heritage. Some Chinese herbs have been proven effective in scientific studies. For example, artemisinin (青蒿素) from qinghao is now used worldwide to treat malaria (疟疾). While Western medicine focuses on quick results, TCM offers gentle, gradual healing. Both systems have value, and many doctors now see them as complementary ways to treat patients and maintain health. 90．How does the writer prove TCM is common in China? A．By listing numbers. B．By showing pictures. C．By giving examples. D．By presenting reasons. 91．What can we learn about TCM according to the passage? A．TCM is based on three kinds of key ideas. B．TCM has quick and lasting effects on patients. C．TCM is recommended to solve most problems. D．TCM has little connection with nature but a lot with culture. 92．The following paragraph can best go after ________. About 2,000 years ago, medical knowledge was collected in a book called Huangdi Neijing. This was the first medical text to describe blood circulation—centuries before Western medicine discovered it. A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4 D．Paragraph 5 93．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To sell TCM products to foreigners. B．To compare TCM with Western medicine. C．To prove TCM is more effective in treatment. D．To make TCM more popular around the world. I wouldn’t have picked up the piece of paper if I hadn’t seen those big red words at the top: DON’T FORGET. After all, the paper was covered with dusty footprints. I stared at the list. Under the big red DON’T FORGET, there were three numbered items printed in pencil. 1. Snow peas; 2. Shakespeare; 3. Sadira Kirmani. I stared at the list and a chill swept over me. What was my name doing on someone’s list? After all, no one here really spoken to me except for the boy with glasses who asked if he could have my cake at lunch. I had just moved here. I looked around the room, but no one looked back. Everyone seemed focused on the test. For every problem, all I could see was: 3. Sadira Kirmani. What did it mean? At lunchtime, as I moved through the lunch line, I heard a girl with braces ahead of me ask, “What’s that?” “Snow peas.” the lunch lady answered. “Want to try some?” “No, thanks.” the girl replied. “I’ll try some snow peas.” the boy behind me piped up. Snow peas. Number 1 on the list. After lunch, it was “rhyme time”. Mrs Allison asked. “Who wants to go first today?” Only one hand shot up. It belonged to the boy who’d asked for snow peas. “To be or not to be…” Wyatt began. When he finished, Mrs. Allison said, “Shakespeare wrote a different kind of poetry.” Shakespeare? Number 2 on the list. I felt deeply afraid, wondering what would happen next. But nothing did. School ended, and I sat alone on the school bus, still staring at the list. I looked up and noticed Wyatt, the boy who’d asked for snow peas and read the poem. He was staring at me. “What?” I got angry. “Nothing.” He smiled in a friendly way. “I wanted to talk to you. I almost forgot. You’re number 3 on my list.” Now I’d find out what was going on. “This is yours?” I held up the piece of paper. He laughed. “Yeah. My mom’s idea. I’m supposed to try three new things every day.” “Why me?” “You’re new, so I thought I’d say hi.” That night, I pulled out a sheet of paper and made my own list. 1. Try the apple pie; 2. Offer my dessert to the boy with glasses; 3. Say hello to the girl with braces. I looked at the list and smiled before adding one more thing: 4. Thank Wyatt. 94．When a chill swept over Sadira, she most probably felt ________. A．proud B．afraid C．unhappy D．cheerful 95．Why did Sadira want to thank Wyatt? A．Because Wyatt tried all the items written in the paper. B．Because Wyatt sent the list to her without telling others. C．Because she got satisfied after talking to Wyatt about the list. D．Because she knew how to start new school life because of Wyatt. 96．What is the best title for the story? A．Three Items B．The List C．A Useful Idea D．A New Beginning It was still light out, and Dad wasn’t home yet. He worked all day cleaning pools. My brother and I spent as much of the day as we could on the basketball court. Holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket felt like magic—all the problems of the world seemed to go away. Dad once told me he felt pretty much the same way about cleaning pools. It was like being a magician, he said, turning the water from cloudy to clear. Dad came home and stood a moment by the side of the car, and for a moment he closed his eyes. “Many people couldn’t afford to to have their pools cleaned anymore because of losing their jobs.” Dad said. “Want to shoot (投篮) a few balls, Dad?” I asked, knowing how much he loved basketball. “Sure,” he said, opening his eyes and smiling. “Why not?” My brother passed the ball to him, and Dad caught it as if catching a ball was as natural to him as breathing. Dad used to play basketball in high school, but that was a long time ago. I love watching Dad shoot. Each of his shots is perfect so that the ball drops cleanly through the rim (篮筐). It is one of my favorite sounds. After Dad warmed up, he said he was ready to start. Dad held the ball in both hands between his knees, bent (弯曲) his legs, and looked up at the basket. It looked like he was a chicken getting ready to lay an egg. By some miracle (奇迹) the basketball dropped straight into the basket. “What a shot!” Dad shouted. “Looks like I’ve still got the touch!” He did a little victory dance, and he smiled in a way that I’d never seen him smile in a long time. As it got darker, each of us took shots on the court (球场). “What about another game?” my brother asked, even though it was almost too dark to see the ball. “Maybe tomorrow,” Dad answered. “I think your mom is waiting.” I knew how rare it would be for Dad to find time to play with my brother and me lately. I wished we could do this more often. The time he spent shooting baskets with us cheered him up. When he was happy, it felt like everything fitted into place, including the basketball, which dropped through the net without even touching the rim. 97．According to the passage, which words can best describe the father？ A．confident and brave B．confident but serious C．hard-working but boring D．hard-working and hopeful 98．What can we infer from this passage？ A．Dad lost his job like other people. B．I often played basketball at school. C．I learned how to play basketball from Dad. D．Dad wasn’t in high spirits when he got home. 99．Which is the best title for this story？ A．A Basketball Match B．Father and Sons C．Shooting with Dad D．Miracle on the Court If you are sitting, please stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes (脚趾), if you can. Do anything but sit. New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. Sitting less than three hours a day might extend (延长) your life by two years. Peter is a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States. “We sit while we’re eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we watch TV. Many of us sit for many hours at work.” But, he adds, “that does not make sitting good for us.” The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs seldom give us the chance to move around. You may exercise often. That does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. “We can’t throw away physical activity. It is very important. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23-and-a-half hours a day is also very important.” Changes are already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to use such desks to keep children moving. Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody, but they’ll have a bank of these desks where people can go for an hour a day and answer their emails or talk on the phone. Peter and his team suggest some other simple changes: take walks at lunch time; walk to your partner’s offices and talk directly instead of emailing. All these activities may help you live longer. 100．How does Peter feel about sitting? A．It is helpful to our work. B．It’s a good way to relax ourselves. C．It is not good for us. D．It is an important part of our life. 101．How does the writer introduce the changes in the last two paragraphs? A．By setting a situation. B．By listing numbers. C．By telling stories. D．By giving examples. 102．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Sit Less, Live Longer B．Change More, Achieve More C．Take Exercise, Keep Strong D．Talk Directly, Improve Friendship Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding. Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.” Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike. As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy. Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says. “You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.” 103．The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to____________. A．analyze the cause of troubled relationships B．stress the importance of communication C．demonstrate the level of texting anxiety D．introduce the increasing use of cell phones 104．What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Frightened. B．Interested. C．Excited. D．Nervous. 105．What can we infer from the passage? A．Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety. B．Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety. C．We should ask our partners to change their texting styles. D．Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts. 106．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A texting schedule: The final way out. B．Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses. C．Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions. D．A new perspective: How much texting is too much. Fossil by fossil, the story of the birds becomes clearer. It is now well established that modern birds are actually a group of dinosaurs, which survived a crash between the earth and a small planet 66m years ago. This impact wiped out the rest of the dinosaur world, along with a lot of other creatures. Recently a paper, published in Nature, has released the details of a fossil, which those studying it believe provides our earliest view of what modern birds were like during the initial stages of their evolutionary history. The fossil in question is called Asteriornis maastrichtensis. As its name suggests, the rock containing it was dug from deposits (沉积层) found near Maastricht. These deposits are between 66.8m and 66.7m years old. This particular rock interested paleontologists (古生物学家) because it included visible leg bones that looked as though they belonged to a bird. Such ancient fossils are rare, so instead of chancing their arms by using physical or chemical methods to explore the rock for more remains, Daniel Field of Cambridge University and his colleagues employed a CT scan, a process more familiar to most people as a medical-scanning technique. The result, an image of the animal’s skull with false colours added to clarify which bits are which, can be seen in the picture. Asteriornis maastrichtensis does indeed turn out to be a member of the modern birds. Specifically, it is part of the Galloanserae, which includes both land fowl (家禽), such as chickens and their relatives, and modern waterfowl, like ducks and the like. The skull of Asteriornis maastrichtensis exhibits features of both groups, so it most probably predates the division between them. And its discovery in Europe opens up the debate about whether modern birds originated in the southern part of the earth, as has been proposed. As to what it looked like when alive, the animal’s left upper leg, its best-preserved bone besides those of its skull, suggests Asteriornis maastrichtensis was a long-legged creature that marched around. This, and evidence that the rock it was preserved in was originally part of a fossil shoreline, has led to reconstructions of modern waterfowl. Asteriornis maastrichtensis shows that a single fossil can help to nail down previously uncertain dates. The age of the fossil, in fact, suggests that those previous estimates, based on so-called molecular clocks (分子钟), might have overestimated how early the modern birds arose. Based on the discovery of Asteriornis maastrichtensis, the smart money is now on the modern birds as a group being only a little older than the dinosaur—killing impact itself. 107．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．The details of the fossil are still in doubt. B．The deposits were named after the fossil. C．The crash caused the extinction of dinosaurs. D．The fossil is seen as the oldest modern bird skull. 108．What can be inferred about Asteriornis maastrichtensis from the passage? A．It attracts palaeontologists as a rare ancient species. B．It can present the whole picture of modern waterfowl. C．It allows researchers to confirm where modern birds emerged. D．It may be the common ancestor of modern chickens and ducks. 109．According to the passage, the author may agree that _______. A．fossils promote the accuracy of historical dates B．more investment should be made to study fossils C．we can’t trust fossils more than molecular clocks D．it’s not wise to dig the deposits for more remains 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 无锡市中考题型组合练 （完形填空5篇+阅读理解10篇+任务型阅读5篇） 一、完形填空 Hannah tightened the helmet belt. A man’s voice came from the loudspeakers, “Racers in the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race, please gather behind the orange flags. Attention please! All the racers must follow the lead-out during the competition. Orange arrows show you the way.” Hannah was so 1 because the first prize was a modern bike. On a bike like that, she’d fly through the woods. “Good luck,” the loudspeakers said. “Three, two, one and go!” The lead-out, a man in bright orange with the words “Follow Me” printed on his shirt, started 2 down the road. The racers followed close behind. Hannah squeezed her bike between a boy in a black suit and a girl with a silver helmet. She wanted to take off, but she knew she wasn’t 3 to pass the lead-out. Soon, a girl with red hair rolled in behind the lead-out. Hannah followed close behind the girl, but the girl was speeding up. Then they both disappeared behind a thick stand of trees. Hannah 4 for the orange arrows marking the course and biked through the muddy fields. Then she saw the girl putting the chain (链条) on the chain ring, the lead-out next to her. After noticing Hannah, he jumped on his bike. Hannah followed him 5 the girl into the woods quickly. Maybe she could win. She felt herself full of 6 when she got closer；the lead-out pulled away, disappearing around a bend again. Luckily, to her left, was the sign with the orange arrow. When she turned, her foot accidentally kicked the sign over. “I need to 7 and fix the sign,” she thought. But even as she was thinking this, her feet kept moving faster. “Hannah Anderson, winner of the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race!” the man on the loudspeakers announced as she passed the finish line. “Hey!” Hannah turned and saw the girl with red hair jump off her bike. “Good job! I thought I almost had you, but I must have 8 a trail sign.” Hannah’s face turned red at once. Looking at the girl’s old rusty bike, she said nothing. After the presentation, Hannah looked around and finally found the girl. “I accidentally kicked the sign over,” Hannah said 9 . “I want you to have the bike.” “Are you sure?” the shocked girl asked, couldn’t believe her 10 . “I’m sure.” Hannah said, a little louder. The girl was beaming now, her finger moving along the shiny blue bike. “Are you racing in the Copper Harbor next weekend?” she asked. “I am.” Hannah smiled. “Yes. Let’s see who wins then.

I wanted to 11 but I didn’t. Later was better than never. Carousel sounds filled the air. I saw children looking for rings as they spun past. I bet they were also looking for the gold ring. During every ride, one gold ring 12 in the dispenser (取环器). The lucky rider who caught it got a free giant ice-cream. Silver rings 13 another ride. I wanted the gold one. We bought carrots for dinner and hurried toward the carousel. Across the crowd, I noticed my good friend Alice. “Are you going to ride?” I asked. She shook her head. “Papa doesn’t have any coins today.” I could feel the weight of two coins in my pocket.

After about 30 42 , I finally made my move. Just as I put the gum into my pocket, my mom called, “Come on, we’re leaving!” As we walked away, a store worker walked up to my mom. “Ma’am, your son took a pack of gum.” he said firmly.

Now, few people wear straw rain capes anymore. But in the past, they were popular, especially among farmers and fishermen. The straw rain capes were described in lots of poems and articles in different periods. They were everywhere in the countryside of China in the 1970s. But as society develops, it is slowly losing its place. Later, other materials were found to be more suitable for making rain capes. Fan Licai, a woman in Zhuliangzhuang Village, Lianyungang City of Jiangsu Province, has a special love for straw rain capes. It is said that she is the only one still making straw rain capes for a living in Ganyu District. The woman learned the skill when she was 12. When she was young, she could make two capes in three days, and make a living for her family. Now her children ask her not to make capes anymore. They think she should enjoy her time. However, she still continues to make straw rain capes to keep this traditional skill alive. Making a straw rain cape needs 4 kilograms of straw, and for Fan now needs 4-5 days to finish a single cape. “Still, I hope more people will learn about this traditional skill. I wish someone would take it up and keep it going for years to come. It is not just a straw rain cape, but a special part of our culture and history.” Fan said. 51．Who wore straw rain capes most in the past? 52．Where were straw rain capes seen in the 1970s? 53．When did Fan Licai begin to learn the skill? 54．How much time does Fan Licai need to make one cape now? 55．What can we do to keep traditional skills like making straw rain capes alive? 【答案】51．Farmers and fishermen. 52．In China’s countryside. 53．At the age of 12. 54．4 to 5 days. 55．Learn and pass them on. 【导语】本文介绍了中国传统蓑衣的发展变迁，讲述了非遗传承人范丽彩坚守蓑衣制作技艺，守护传统文化、希望传统技艺得以传承延续的故事。 【详解】51．根据文章第1段原文“especially among farmers and fishermen”可推知，过去蓑衣最受农民和渔民的喜爱、穿戴最多。 52．根据文章第2段原文“They were everywhere in the countryside of China in the 1970s.”可推知，20世纪70年代蓑衣遍布中国乡村各地。 53．根据文章第3段原文“The woman learned the skill when she was 12.”可推知，范丽彩在12岁的时候开始学习制作蓑衣的技艺。 54．根据文章第4段原文“for Fan now needs 4-5 days to finish a single cape.”可推知，如今范丽彩制作一件蓑衣需要4到5天的时间。 55．根据文章第4段原文“I wish someone would take it up and keep it going for years to come.”可推知，我们可以学习这项传统技艺并将它传承下去，以此守护这类传统手艺。 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。 In early 2026, a strange new trend started on the Chinese internet. Millions of people began talking about “raising lobsters”. They didn’t mean real sea animals. “Lobster” was a fun name for a new AI tool called OpenClaw. Because its logo is a red lobster, people joked that installing (安装) it was like “raising” a pet. This craze spread quickly online. What Is the “Lobster”? Traditional AI tools are smart, but they mostly talk to you online. OpenClaw is different. It acts like a helper right inside your computer. When you give an order, it uses AI to control your browser (浏览器), open files, and run apps. However, because it needs to use your files fully, it can cause privacy risks if you are not careful. What makes OpenClaw different from tools like Doubao? First, it can use apps by itself. Common AI cannot send messages to your friends. But OpenClaw can read your chats and use WeChat automatically (自动地). This sounds a bit scary, but it is very useful. For example, a teacher can use it to automatically send daily homework to the whole class and reply to students. Second, OpenClaw has deep control over your computer. To read a file with Doubao, you must upload it yourself. But OpenClaw can freely find and read files on your hard drive. Imagine a teacher saves photos of students’ homework. OpenClaw can open the photos, grade the homework and collect the mistakes. It creates a personal “mistake notebook” for each student. Finally, it uses WeChat to send these notebooks back to them. More Than Just a Tool This trend introduces a new idea: “AI agents.” We will tell smart AI agents to use other tools for us. This technology is still new. Young people shouldn’t blindly follow every trend. We must understand these tools and use them safely. As one scientist said: “Before jumping into the ocean, learn how to swim.” 56．What was the fun name for the AI tool OpenClaw? 57．Why might OpenClaw cause privacy risks? 58．What kind of tasks can OpenClaw do for a teacher? Give one example. 59．How can OpenClaw send “mistake notebook” back to students? 60．What’s the writer’s main advice about the new AI tools? 【答案】56．Lobster. 57．Because it needs to use your files fully./Because it has deep control over your computer./Because it can freely read the files. 58．Grade/Grading the homework./Collect/Collecting the mistakes./Create/Creating a personal mistake notebook. 59．By(using)Wechat./It uses WeChat. 60．We should use AI tools safely and wisely./We should understand the tools.（根据文章内容，言之有理即可。） 【导语】本文围绕AI工具OpenClaw展开科普，指出这一热潮引出了“AI代理”的新概念，提醒人们要理性看待这类新工具，安全合理地使用。 56．根据文章第二段“‘Lobster’ was a fun name for a new AI tool called OpenClaw.”可知，OpenClaw这个人工智能工具有趣的名字是Lobster。 57．由文章第三段“However, because it needs to use your files fully, it can cause privacy risks if you are not careful.”可知，因为OpenClaw需要充分使用用户的文件，所以如果不小心，就可能导致隐私风险。 58．从文章第四段“For example, a teacher can use it to automatically send daily homework to the whole class and reply to students.”以及“OpenClaw can open the photos, grade the homework and collect the mistakes. It creates a personal ‘mistake notebook’ for each student. Finally, it uses WeChat to send these notebooks back to them.”可知，OpenClaw可以为老师做诸如自动给全班发送日常作业、批改作业、收集错误并创建个人“错题本”等任务，答案可以是Grade the homework.（或者Collect the mistakes. / Create a personal mistake notebook. 等，任选其一即可） 59．依据文章第四段“Finally, it uses WeChat to send these notebooks back to them.”可知，OpenClaw是通过微信将“错题本”发送给学生的。 60．根据文章最后一段“Young people shouldn't blindly follow every trend. We must understand these tools and use them safely.”可知，作者对于新的人工智能工具的主要建议是我们应该安全且明智地使用它们。 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过6个单词。 Datiehua, the iron flower, is a Chinese intangible cultural heritage (遗产) with over 500 years of history.

I thought he would refuse and was surprised when he agreed. We were allowed to use the boat. Captain Nemo did not come with us. We went alone. Ned was very excited. “We are going to eat meat!” he said. Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island. It was wonderful to walk on land again. Ned found some coconuts at once. We drank the milk. Then, we walked into the forest and found some breadfruit trees. Ned cooked some of the breadfruit, which tasted just like real bread. We found fruits like bananas and mangoes. Ned still wanted some meat, but it was time to go back to the Nautilus. We brought the food that we had found back with us. We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds. Ned shot two pigeons, which we cooked and ate for lunch. In the afternoon, he shot a wild pig and several smaller animals like rabbits. We sat near the boat to cook and eat them, but we were suddenly attacked. We all ran to the boat. About one hundred savages (野人) followed us into the water as we rowed away, but they could not catch us.                 Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo. He was playing his piano. I told him about the savages. “You should not be surprised that there are savages on land, Dr. Aronnax,” he said. “They may try to come onto the Nautilus,” I said. “How many are there?” “About one hundred.” “We have nothing to fear,” he replied. He turned back to his piano. I went back outside. It was dark, and I could see fires on the beach. The savages were still there. 66．Why did Ned want to go onto the island? 67．Who didn’t go onto the island with them? 68．How many times did the men go onto the island in the passage? 69．What was Nemo doing when the three friends were chased back to the Nautilus by savages? 70．How did Nemo feel when he heard about the savages on land? 【答案】66．Because he wanted to catch some animals./To catch some animals to eat. 67．Captain Nemo./Nemo. 68．Twice. 69．He was playing the piano. 70．Calm./Not surprised. 【导语】本文主要讲述了《海底两万里》中，内德、康塞尔和阿龙纳斯在尼摩船长的允许下，两次登上岛屿寻找食物、捕猎动物，后遭遇野人袭击返回鹦鹉螺号的经历。 66．文章首段“Ned wanted to go onto the island and catch some animals to eat”直接点明内德想去岛上抓些动物来吃。这是原文直接信息。 67．第一段明确指出“Captain Nemo did not come with us”。这是原文中的具体人物信息，直接提取。 68．第二段“Half an hour of rowing brought us to the island”，先描述了第一次登岛寻找食物，然后第三段提到“We returned to the island the next day and hunted birds”，答案将两次登岛行为整合为“Twice”. 69．第四段直接给出尼摩船长正在弹钢琴的信息：“Back on the Nautilus, I found Captain Nemo. He was playing his piano”。答案是原文引述。 70．第四段尼摩船长说“You should not be surprised that there are savages on land”以及第七段“We have nothing to fear”，体现出他镇定、不害怕的态度。 阅读下面短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过7个单词。 Have you ever considered walking through a giant puzzle? In a corn maze (玉米迷宫), people can follow miles of winding (弯曲的) paths and run into lots of dead ends before they finally find their way out. For many farmers, showing families the way out can give the farm a lot of extra money. Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s. In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz! During the opening weekend, 6,000 visitors came to get lost in the maze. Charging (收费) only $5 per person, Mr. Frantz earned almost $32,000 in two weeks. The creation was named the world’s largest maze by Guinness World Records! Since then, thousands of corn mazes have been created around the world, and several have broken that record. “Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),” Don Frantz said. “People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.” About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa. That’s where owner Adam Hohl once got lost in his own maze as he led a family the way out. Today, Harvestville Farm’s corn maze is as big as nine football fields. Mr Hohl said, “When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.” 71．When did simple corn mazes appear? 72．Who made the first big corn maze? 73．How many visitors travel to Harvestville Farm every year? 74．Why are people interested in corn mazes according to Don Frantz? 75．What does Mr Hohl mean in the last paragraph? 【答案】71．In the 1980s. 72．Don Frantz. 73．About 30,000 visitors. 74．They connect with their roots. 75．Families make lasting memories there. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了玉米迷宫的历史，起源以及人们对于玉米迷宫的喜爱的原因，同时举例介绍了Harvestville Farm的玉米迷宫的经营情况。 71．根据第二段中“Simple corn mazes began appearing in the 1980s.”可知，简单的玉米迷宫在20世纪80年代就开始出现了，故填In the 1980s. 72．根据第二段中“In 1993, the first big corn maze created for the public to enjoy was made in Annville, Pennsylvania, by Don Frantz!”可知，1993年，第一个由公众享用的大玉米迷宫由Don Frantz在安维尔制作，故填Don Frantz. 73．根据第五段中“About 30,000 visitors a year make that connection at family-owned Harvestville Farm in Donnellson, Iowa.”可知，每年约有3万名游客来到Harvestville Farm，故填About 30,000 visitors. 74．根据第四段“‘Corn mazes help people connect with their roots (根),’ Don Frantz said. ‘People are so far away from farm life that they are drawn (吸引) to something real and natural.’”可知，Don Frantz认为玉米迷宫帮助人们与他们的根相连，人们被真实和自然的东西所吸引，故填They connect with their roots. 75．根据最后一段中“When we see families having fun on the farm, we know that they are making memories that will last a lifetime.”可知，Hohl认为当看到家庭在农场里玩得很开心，就知道他们正在创造一段将持续一生的回忆，故填Families make lasting memories there. 三、阅读理解 The Dream Builder Finn’s younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency (免疫缺陷) disease, making the outside world a dangerous place. Finn saw the longing in Leo’s eyes when he talked about his own hikes or bike rides. Finn was a member of his school’s tech club. He’d built robots. One night, watching Leo get lost in a map, Finn had an idea: If Leo couldn’t go to the world, he would bring the world to Leo. He called this idea “The Dreamwalker.” It was about creating a personalized, sensory experience. Finn improved an old virtual reality (VR) headset, but the key was a pair of special gloves he engineered himself. They could simulate (模拟) the feeling of touching different things. Then came the hard part: building the “worlds”. For a week, Finn took a 360-degree camera on his hike. He didn’t just film; he recorded the sound of the river, the wind, and the birds. He reached out and touched hard stones, soft grass, and cold water, noting the exact sensation. Back in the lab, he synchronized (同步) the videos to the headset. He programmed the gloves: When Leo “touched” the river, some water produced by an improved computer cooling fan would hit his face, and the special gloves would help him feel the movement of the water. Then came the first test. Leo put on the headset and gloves, and started the program. He was silent for a minute. Then, “I can...feel the river!” he said. His smile widened behind the headset. For twenty minutes, Leo explored, reaching out, laughing as water hit his face by the “river”. Finn filmed Leo’s reaction, a joy he hadn’t seen in years. He realized that the highest purpose of technology and skill isn’t to win competitions or create new inventions. It’s to be a bridge. It’s to use your knowledge as a tool for understanding and to give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience. He learned that the greatest engineering is the kind that connects one human heart to another. 76．Why was the outside world a dangerous place for Leo? A．Because he was too young. B．Because he had poor eyesight. C．Because he got lost easily outside. D．Because he had a serious disease. 77．What did Finn do for Leo? A．He created a set of sensory tools. B．He personalized a special robot. C．He recorded all of his bike rides. D．He bought a VR headset with nature programs. 78．What did Finn learn from this experience? A．Human connections are based on the development of technology. B．Technology finds its true value in enriching the life of loved ones. C．Diseases cannot hold back the dreams of those who never give up. D．Engineering can help people win awards and prizes in competitions. 【答案】76．D 77．A 78．B 【导语】本文是记叙文，讲述Finn为患有严重免疫缺陷疾病、无法外出的弟弟Leo，利用VR技术和自制传感手套打造“造梦行者”系统，让Leo体验户外世界的故事，最终Finn领悟到技术的最高价值是连接人心、丰富所爱之人的生活。 【详解】76．文中首句指出“Finn’s younger brother, Leo, had a serious immune deficiency disease, making the outside world a dangerous place”，说明 Leo 因患有严重疾病，外界对他而言很危险。 77．文中提到Finn改良了VR头显，还自制了特殊手套，打造了名为“The Dreamwalker”的个性化感官体验系统，这属于一套感官工具。 78．最后一段Finn意识到“the highest purpose of technology and skill isn’t to win competitions or create new inventions. It’s to be a bridge...to give someone you love the irreplaceable gift of an experience”，说明技术的真正价值在于丰富所爱之人的生活，与选项 B 表述一致 We gave Merrick two rooms at the back of the hospital. One room was a bathroom, so he could have a bath every day. Soon his skin was much better. The second room had a bed, table, and chairs. He had never had a room of his own before. I visited him every day, and talked to him. He loved reading, and talking about books. He was very happy. But sometimes it was difficult for him. One day a new nurse came to the hospital. She took his food to his room, and opened the door. Then she screamed, and ran out of the room. I was very angry with the nurse, and went to see Merrick. To my surprise, he didn’t move and just watched her as she cried. “People don’t like looking at me. I know that,” he said. “They usually laugh or scream.” “Well, I don’t want nurses to laugh at you, Joseph,” I said angrily. “I want them to help you. This is your home now.” “Thank you, doctor,” he said, in his strange slow voice. “But it’s not important. I understand that.” In his one good hand, he had the little picture of his mother. He looked at the picture for a minute. A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his ugly face. “Dr Treves,” he said, slowly. “You and the nurses are very kind. Thank you very much. But I know I can’t stay here long, and…I would like to live in a lighthouse, or a home for blind people. I think those are the best places for me.” “What do you mean?” I asked. He did not look at me. He put the flower on the picture and looked at it carefully. “Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn’t see me, could they?” “But Joseph,” I said. “This is your home. You aren’t going to leave the hospital.” “You are a kind man, Dr. Treves. But I can’t stay here very long. I have no money.” I smiled. “Joseph,” I said. “You can stay here all your life. This will always be your home.” He was very quiet for a minute. Then he stood up, and walked up and down the room very quickly. A strange sound came from him, like laughing. —adapted from Elephant Man 79．When Merrick watched the nurse crying, he probably felt a sense of ______. A．sorrow B．pity C．fear D．surprise 80．What can we infer from the passage? A．Merrick kept his mother’s photo to cheer himself up. B．Merrick hoped to become a lighthouse keeper one day. C．Merrick thought Dr Treves would finally understand his pain. D．Merrick believed that being unseen was the way to be accepted. 81．Which is the best title for this story? A．A Kind Doctor B．A Special Promise C．Merrick’s First Home D．Merrick’s Big Change 【答案】79．B 80．D 81．B 【导语】本文节选自《象人》，通过梅里克的遭遇和与医生的对话，展现了他因外貌畸形遭受的偏见与内心的孤独，也凸显了医生的善良与温暖。 【详解】79．第五段“‘People don’t like looking at me. I know that,’ he said.”以及“A tear ran out of his eye and down the skin of his ugly face”描述了他看着母亲照片流泪，体现的是一种深层的悲伤。 80．倒数第五段“‘Nobody could look at me in a lighthouse, so I would be happy there. And blind people can see nothing, so they couldn’t see me, could they?’”梅里克明确提出想住灯塔或盲人院，核心原因是这些地方没人能看到他的畸形外貌，他认为不被看见就能避免他人的恐惧与排斥，从而获得被接纳的可能。 81．文章前半部分铺垫梅里克的自卑与无奈，后半部分以医生的“You can stay here all your life. This will always be your home.”为核心情节，这一承诺对常年被排斥、无家可归的梅里克而言，是特殊且珍贵的，既呼应了前文他“渴望被接纳、有一个家”的心愿，也凸显了文章的温暖内核，是全文的情感与情节转折点. At a summer party, mosquitoes bite some guests while others stay bite-free. New research helps explain why: Some people just taste better. “Mosquitoes like something in our sweat (汗),” says Lisa Baik at Yale University. She studies how insects, especially mosquitoes, sense their world. Baik’s team shared their findings last November in Nature. Mosquitoes feed on the blood of the animals they bite and can cause diseases like malaria and dengue. Knowing what causes mosquitoes to bite or not can help researchers develop better methods of control, according to Baik’s team. For example, according to Baik’s team, mosquitoes taste the surface before biting. This means that sweat may play a big role when mosquitoes decide to bite. There is water, salt and amino acids (氨基酸) in human sweat. To find out what mosquitoes prefer, the researchers put salt and amino acids on separate surfaces. Mosquitoes ignored both. However, when the team mixed them on the same surface, mosquitoes bit. The researchers then looked at activity in certain mosquito nerve (神经) cells involved in taste. Some sweat samples had a larger effect on the activity of these nerve cells than others. “That shows taste could be one of the reasons why some of us get bitten a lot more than others,” Baik says. Tasting requires touch. We use our lips, mouth and tongue to taste. Mosquitoes are the same. A long tube extends from their face like a straw (吸管). At the end of that “straw” are two small, lip-like parts that can touch a surface. The researchers examined those lips. They had little hairs on them. Nerve cells inside the hairs responded (作出反应) to touch. Then the team tested how the hairs responded to different things. When sugar touched the hairs, the nerve cells became active. Some bitter compounds (苦味化合物), though, stopped the nerve cells’ response to sugar. “This was exciting and surprising,” says Baik. “This type of activity hasn’t been seen in other insects.” Adding bitter compounds to sugar reduced the sweet response. It also made mosquitoes less likely to feed. “This showed that we could use bitter compounds as a way to stop the feeding of mosquitoes,” says Baik. Baik is now hunting for just the right compound to stop mosquitoes from biting people. “It should be safe, low-cost and friendly to the environment. It could someday be used in a spray for skin and clothing,” she said. 82．What does the underlined word “ignored” mean in the passage? A．Fell in love with. B．Got bored with. C．Paid no attention to. D．Looked forward to. 83．The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________. Baik wanted to explore how taste might influence a mosquito’s choice. A．Paragraph 5 B．Paragraph 6 C．Paragraph 7 D．Paragraph 8 84．What can we learn about mosquitoes in the passage? A．They taste people before deciding to bite. B．They prefer to bite people without sweat. C．They prefer bitter compounds to sweet ones. D．They use nerve cells inside the hairs to make sounds. 85．The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A．encourage us to invent something to prevent mosquito biting B．tell us about research on why mosquitoes prefer to bite some people C．introduce some ways to prevent mosquitoes from biting people D．advise us to explore how to stop mosquitoes spreading diseases 【答案】82．C 83．A 84．A 85．B 【导语】本文围绕耶鲁大学Lisa Baik团队的一项新研究展开，旨在揭示蚊子为什么偏爱叮咬某些人。 82．第五段“To find out what mosquitoes prefer, the researchers put salt and amino acids on separate surfaces. Mosquitoes ignored both. However, when the team mixed them on the same surface, mosquitoes bit.”研究人员把盐和氨基酸分别放在不同表面时，蚊子既不碰盐也不碰氨基酸；但当两者混合后，蚊子就会叮咬，ignored在这里意为“忽视、不理会”，与选项C“Paid no attention to(没注意、不理会)”吻合。 83．第四段结尾提到：汗液中的水、盐和氨基酸可能影响蚊子叮咬的决定；第5段开头正是研究人员的实验：为了找出蚊子的偏好，他们将盐和氨基酸分别放在不同表面。“Baik wanted to explore how taste might influence a mosquito’s choice.”起到了过渡句的作用，承接上文“汗液成分影响叮咬”的猜想，引出下文第5段的实验过程，因此放在第5段开头最合适。 84．第四段“For example, according to Baik’s team, mosquitoes taste the surface before biting.”及第七段“We use our lips, mouth and tongue to taste. Mosquitoes are the same.”都说明蚊子在叮咬前会品尝。 85．全文围绕耶鲁大学Baik团队的研究展开，从蚊子的叮咬偏好、汗液成分的影响、味觉感知机制到防蚊新思路，核心目的就是向读者介绍一项关于“蚊子为何偏爱叮咬某些人”的科学研究。 The Chinese New Year is undoubtedly the most important festival for Chinese people. Although the celebrations change from place to place, people from almost every corner of the country, as well as many overseas Chinese, spend the evening watching Chunwan, the Spring Festival Gala produced by China Central Television (CCTV). It is one of the most important television events on China’s entertainment calendar. For many Chinese, the Spring Festival Gala creates a magical feeling. It brings back good memories of family gatherings. People find it great fun and encouraging. With a mix of comedy acts, songs and dance, acrobatic (杂技的) and magic shows, the Spring Festival Gala represents the highest level of entertainment by top performers (表演者), who are chosen across China. Before and after the Spring Festival Gala every year, all kinds of discussions about the program become a popular cultural event. The gala has made several artists famous, and many have come back for repeat appearances. Families sit around their TV sets with snacks, ready to catch every moment of the wonderful performances on Chinese New Year’s Eve. The tradition began in 1983 when the first Spring Festival Gala was held. There were song-and-dance performances by artists. People could even phone in to ask for their favourite song. From then on, the show has begun at 8 p.m. every Chinese New Year’s Eve and lasted until the early morning of the New Year. In 1984, comedy sketches and skits (喜剧小品) were added to the line-up, becoming a key part of the gala. The performances often cover the hottest topics in people’s work and daily life over the past year, such as family and school life. As technology develops, the stage becomes bigger as well. In recent years, some parts of the show have been performed and broadcast in different places across the country. The show is a great chance to understand people’s experiences in China in the past year, and it shows China’s technological and social development in many ways. Now almost forty years since it started, Chunwan has grown into something more than just a television show. It represents a nationally shared experience, a collective memory. Over 40 years from now, it may look completely different from what we’re experiencing today. 86．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The importance of the Spring Festival Gala. B．The history of the Spring Festival Gala. C．How people spend Chinese New Year’s Eve. D．Different celebrations of the Chinese New Year. 87．Which is the writer’s opinion rather than a fact? A．The first gala was held in 1983. B．The gala is a shared national memory. C．Comedy sketches were added in 1984. D．Some performances are chosen nationwide. 88．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________. But one thing’s for sure: the show goes on if the festival continues. A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 5 D．Paragraph 7 89．What can we infer about the Spring Festival Gala? A．It has stayed the same since 1983. B．It will continue to change with society. C．It will soon be replaced by new TV programs. D．It only shows the highest level of singing and dancing. 【答案】86．A 87．B 88．D 89．B 【导语】本文介绍了央视春节联欢晚会的文化地位、发展历程、内容变迁以及社会与时代价值。 86．根据第一段“…spend the evening watching Chunwan, the Spring Festival Gala produced by China Central Television (CCTV). It is one of the most important television events on China’s entertainment calendar.”，点明春晚的重要文化与娱乐地位，强调其巨大影响力，本段核心围绕春晚的重要意义展开。 87．根据第四段“The tradition began in 1983 when the first Spring Festival Gala was held”，对应A选项客观事实；根据第五段“In 1984, comedy sketches and skits were added to the line-up”，对应C选项客观事实；根据第二段“…top performers, who are chosen across China”，对应D选项客观事实；B 选项“The gala is a shared national memory”来自第七段，属于作者的主观感受与评价，不是可查证的客观事实。 88．根据第七段“Over 40 years from now, it may look completely different from what we’re experiencing today”，表达春晚未来会不断变化发展，将题干句子放在第七段结尾，逻辑承接顺畅，起到总结升华、点明晚会传承内核的作用。 89．根据第六段“As technology develops, the stage becomes bigger as well...it shows China’s technological and social development in many ways”以及结尾段对未来变化的描述，能够推断出春晚将会伴随社会发展持续革新。 Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is becoming popular around the world. Many health food stores sell Chinese herbs, and most cities have acupuncture (针灸) clinics. Some Western doctors even recommend TCM for certain problems, like using acupuncture for back pain or herbal tea for sleep issues. In China, TCM is very common. About 28% of all medicine sold is herbal (草药), and there are over 4,000 TCM hospitals. However, many people outside China don’t know much about how TCM works. TCM has a long history. While other ancient cultures thought evil spirits caused illness, Chinese doctors believed sickness came from natural causes and could be cured with natural remedies. A famous early doctor was Bian Que, who created the basic TCM diagnostic method that doctors still use today. They look at the patient’s face and tongue, listen to their breathing, ask about symptoms, and check their pulse. TCM is based on several key ideas. The first is qi, the life energy flowing through our bodies. Then there’s yin and yang—opposite forces that need to be balanced. Yin represents cool and dark qualities, while yang stands for heat and light. Health depends on keeping these forces in balance. Another concept is the Five Elements Theory, which connects body parts to wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. TCM treatments include herbal medicines and acupuncture. Herbs are chosen based on their properties—some are warming, others cooling. Different flavors like spicy or bitter also affect how the medicine works. Acupuncture uses thin needles placed at specific points along energy paths called meridians to help qi flow better. Today, TCM is accepted in over 50 countries. UNESCO has recognized acupuncture as an important cultural heritage. Some Chinese herbs have been proven effective in scientific studies. For example, artemisinin (青蒿素) from qinghao is now used worldwide to treat malaria (疟疾). While Western medicine focuses on quick results, TCM offers gentle, gradual healing. Both systems have value, and many doctors now see them as complementary ways to treat patients and maintain health. 90．How does the writer prove TCM is common in China? A．By listing numbers. B．By showing pictures. C．By giving examples. D．By presenting reasons. 91．What can we learn about TCM according to the passage? A．TCM is based on three kinds of key ideas. B．TCM has quick and lasting effects on patients. C．TCM is recommended to solve most problems. D．TCM has little connection with nature but a lot with culture. 92．The following paragraph can best go after ________. About 2,000 years ago, medical knowledge was collected in a book called Huangdi Neijing. This was the first medical text to describe blood circulation—centuries before Western medicine discovered it. A．Paragraph 2 B．Paragraph 3 C．Paragraph 4 D．Paragraph 5 93．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To sell TCM products to foreigners. B．To compare TCM with Western medicine. C．To prove TCM is more effective in treatment. D．To make TCM more popular around the world. 【答案】90．A 91．A 92．B 93．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中医在中国的普及情况、悠久历史、核心理念、治疗方法以及国际认可，最后指出中医与西医可以互补，共同用于治疗和健康维护。 90．第二段“In China, TCM is very common. About 28% of all medicine sold is herbal (草药), and there are over 4,000 TCM hospitals.”中“In China, TCM is very common.”为中心句，表明中医在中国非常普遍，下文通过数字进行论点支撑。 91．第四段“The first is qi, the life...wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.”中陈述了中医的核心理念主要有三个，即气、阴阳和五行。 92．第三段“TCM has a long history. ”表明本段主要讲述中医的历史，插入的段落讲的是：约 2000 年前，《黄帝内经》描述了血液循环，比西方早几个世纪。属于中医历史，应放在第三段之后。 93．第一段“Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is becoming popular around the world.”表明中医在全球流行；最后一段“Both systems have value...patients and maintain health.”表明中医和西医两种体系互补，整体是客观介绍并推广认识。 I wouldn’t have picked up the piece of paper if I hadn’t seen those big red words at the top: DON’T FORGET. After all, the paper was covered with dusty footprints. I stared at the list. Under the big red DON’T FORGET, there were three numbered items printed in pencil. 1. Snow peas; 2. Shakespeare; 3. Sadira Kirmani. I stared at the list and a chill swept over me. What was my name doing on someone’s list? After all, no one here really spoken to me except for the boy with glasses who asked if he could have my cake at lunch. I had just moved here. I looked around the room, but no one looked back. Everyone seemed focused on the test. For every problem, all I could see was: 3. Sadira Kirmani. What did it mean? At lunchtime, as I moved through the lunch line, I heard a girl with braces ahead of me ask, “What’s that?” “Snow peas.” the lunch lady answered. “Want to try some?” “No, thanks.” the girl replied. “I’ll try some snow peas.” the boy behind me piped up. Snow peas. Number 1 on the list. After lunch, it was “rhyme time”. Mrs Allison asked. “Who wants to go first today?” Only one hand shot up. It belonged to the boy who’d asked for snow peas. “To be or not to be…” Wyatt began. When he finished, Mrs. Allison said, “Shakespeare wrote a different kind of poetry.” Shakespeare? Number 2 on the list. I felt deeply afraid, wondering what would happen next. But nothing did. School ended, and I sat alone on the school bus, still staring at the list. I looked up and noticed Wyatt, the boy who’d asked for snow peas and read the poem. He was staring at me. “What?” I got angry. “Nothing.” He smiled in a friendly way. “I wanted to talk to you. I almost forgot. You’re number 3 on my list.” Now I’d find out what was going on. “This is yours?” I held up the piece of paper. He laughed. “Yeah. My mom’s idea. I’m supposed to try three new things every day.” “Why me?” “You’re new, so I thought I’d say hi.” That night, I pulled out a sheet of paper and made my own list. 1. Try the apple pie; 2. Offer my dessert to the boy with glasses; 3. Say hello to the girl with braces. I looked at the list and smiled before adding one more thing: 4. Thank Wyatt. 94．When a chill swept over Sadira, she most probably felt ________. A．proud B．afraid C．unhappy D．cheerful 95．Why did Sadira want to thank Wyatt? A．Because Wyatt tried all the items written in the paper. B．Because Wyatt sent the list to her without telling others. C．Because she got satisfied after talking to Wyatt about the list. D．Because she knew how to start new school life because of Wyatt. 96．What is the best title for the story? A．Three Items B．The List C．A Useful Idea D．A New Beginning 【答案】94．B 95．D 96．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了新转学的Sadira捡到一张列有自己名字的清单，得知这是Wyatt每日尝试新事物的清单后，她受启发列出自己的清单，准备开启新校园生活。 94．Sadira刚转到新学校，几乎没人和她交流，突然看到自己的名字出现在陌生人的未知清单上，内心产生了不安困惑；后文她看到第二个清单内容应验时也明确写道I felt deeply afraid，可以推知，看到自己名字时“一阵寒意袭来”就是因为她内心恐惧疑惑，因此她当时的感受是害怕。 95．Sadira原本在新学校孤独无助，Wyatt主动的善意和“每天尝试新事物”的想法启发了Sadira，让她知道该如何主动社交、适应新的校园生活，因此她想要感谢Wyatt。 96．整个故事从Sadira捡到这张清单展开，所有情节推进都围绕这张清单：发现清单→因清单疑惑→验证清单内容→解开清单谜团→受启发写下自己的清单，清单（The List）是贯穿全文的核心线索，因此是最合适的标题。 It was still light out, and Dad wasn’t home yet. He worked all day cleaning pools. My brother and I spent as much of the day as we could on the basketball court. Holding a ball and sending it into the air and waiting for it to drop into the basket felt like magic—all the problems of the world seemed to go away. Dad once told me he felt pretty much the same way about cleaning pools. It was like being a magician, he said, turning the water from cloudy to clear. Dad came home and stood a moment by the side of the car, and for a moment he closed his eyes. “Many people couldn’t afford to to have their pools cleaned anymore because of losing their jobs.” Dad said. “Want to shoot (投篮) a few balls, Dad?” I asked, knowing how much he loved basketball. “Sure,” he said, opening his eyes and smiling. “Why not?” My brother passed the ball to him, and Dad caught it as if catching a ball was as natural to him as breathing. Dad used to play basketball in high school, but that was a long time ago. I love watching Dad shoot. Each of his shots is perfect so that the ball drops cleanly through the rim (篮筐). It is one of my favorite sounds. After Dad warmed up, he said he was ready to start. Dad held the ball in both hands between his knees, bent (弯曲) his legs, and looked up at the basket. It looked like he was a chicken getting ready to lay an egg. By some miracle (奇迹) the basketball dropped straight into the basket. “What a shot!” Dad shouted. “Looks like I’ve still got the touch!” He did a little victory dance, and he smiled in a way that I’d never seen him smile in a long time. As it got darker, each of us took shots on the court (球场). “What about another game?” my brother asked, even though it was almost too dark to see the ball. “Maybe tomorrow,” Dad answered. “I think your mom is waiting.” I knew how rare it would be for Dad to find time to play with my brother and me lately. I wished we could do this more often. The time he spent shooting baskets with us cheered him up. When he was happy, it felt like everything fitted into place, including the basketball, which dropped through the net without even touching the rim. 97．According to the passage, which words can best describe the father？ A．confident and brave B．confident but serious C．hard-working but boring D．hard-working and hopeful 98．What can we infer from this passage？ A．Dad lost his job like other people. B．I often played basketball at school. C．I learned how to play basketball from Dad. D．Dad wasn’t in high spirits when he got home. 99．Which is the best title for this story？ A．A Basketball Match B．Father and Sons C．Shooting with Dad D．Miracle on the Court 【答案】97．D 98．D 99．C 【导语】本文是记叙文，主要讲述工作繁忙的父亲难得陪孩子打篮球，他开心时状态极佳，投篮顺畅，一切都显得顺遂而温馨。 97．根据第一段第二句“He worked all day cleaning pools.”，父亲工作很“勤奋”；根据最后一段“When he was happy, it felt like everything fitted into place, including the basketball, which dropped through the net without even touching the rim.”，父亲开心的时候，一切都各就其位，连篮球都能完美空心入网，这种“一切顺利、状态极佳”的描写，暗示了父亲对生活、对未来“充满希望”。 98．根据第二段“‘Many people couldn’t afford to clean their pools anymore because of losing their jobs.’”，由于失业，许多人再也无力支付清洁泳池的费用了，父亲的工作(清洁泳池)可能收入会减少，由此可推出，父亲回家时情绪不高。 99．本文主要讲述作者和父亲一起打篮球、投篮的温馨时光，所以文章的最佳标题是“和父亲一起投篮”。 If you are sitting, please stand up. Move your legs. Touch your toes (脚趾), if you can. Do anything but sit. New research shows that if you cut down on the time you spend sitting, you might live longer. Sitting less than three hours a day might extend (延长) your life by two years. Peter is a scientist at the University of Louisiana in the southern United States. “We sit while we’re eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we watch TV. Many of us sit for many hours at work.” But, he adds, “that does not make sitting good for us.” The human body is designed to move. But modern lifestyles and office jobs seldom give us the chance to move around. You may exercise often. That does not mean you can sit for the rest of your waking hours. “We can’t throw away physical activity. It is very important. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, what goes on in the other 23-and-a-half hours a day is also very important.” Changes are already coming to some offices, especially in the design of desks. A “standing desk” lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the “treadmill desk”. A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to use such desks to keep children moving. Many companies may not buy a standing desk for everybody, but they’ll have a bank of these desks where people can go for an hour a day and answer their emails or talk on the phone. Peter and his team suggest some other simple changes: take walks at lunch time; walk to your partner’s offices and talk directly instead of emailing. All these activities may help you live longer. 100．How does Peter feel about sitting? A．It is helpful to our work. B．It’s a good way to relax ourselves. C．It is not good for us. D．It is an important part of our life. 101．How does the writer introduce the changes in the last two paragraphs? A．By setting a situation. B．By listing numbers. C．By telling stories. D．By giving examples. 102．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Sit Less, Live Longer B．Change More, Achieve More C．Take Exercise, Keep Strong D．Talk Directly, Improve Friendship 【答案】100．C 101．D 102．A 【导语】本文通过科学家Peter的研究和观点，指出久坐对人体有害，现代生活和工作的久坐模式违背人体运动的天性，即便有规律锻炼，也无法抵消长时间久坐的负面影响；同时介绍了办公室、学校为减少久坐做出的桌椅设计改变，以及简单易操作的少坐小建议。 100．第二段“‘We sit while we’re eating; we sit in the car; we sit while we watch TV. Many of us sit for many hours at work.’ But, he adds, ‘that does not make sitting good for us.’”明确指出他的观点是：久坐并不会因此对人体有益，即“久坐对我们不好”。 101．第四段“A ‘standing desk’ lets people stand while they work. Another new design is called the ‘treadmill desk’”. A treadmill is an exercise machine that lets you walk slowly in one place. Even some U.S. schools are beginning to use such desks to keep children moving.”及第五段“but they’ll have a bank of these desks where people can go for an hour a day and answer their emails or talk on the phone. Peter and his team suggest some other simple changes: take walks at lunch time; walk to your partner’s offices and talk directly instead of emailing.”文章依次列举了站立式书桌、跑步机书桌、美国学校使用这类书桌、公司设置共享站立书桌、午餐时散步、当面沟通代替发邮件等具体例子，通过举例子的方式说明改变的具体形式。 102．文章开篇就用新研究结果点题；后续所有内容，Peter的观点、锻炼无法抵消久坐的影响、办公室和学校的改变、少坐的小建议均围绕“少久坐”和“延长寿命”的核心关系展开，Sit Less, Live Longer能精准概括全文主旨。 Do the endless stream of messages and the thought of replying to unopened texts give you anxiety? Can the group chat feel so overwhelming that you want to throw your phone out of the window? Texting anxiety is a real thing, and more common than you’d think. In the last 25 years, texting has changed the way we communicate greatly. And many would argue, not for the better. The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. Unfortunately, not everyone will be understanding. Leah Aguirre, a psychotherapist explains that text conversations are usually a source of anxiety as they come with a lot of uncertainty. “We can’t predict how someone will respond, if they will respond, or how quickly they will respond. We can’t control other people’s actions or behavior or how they think and interpret (解读) things, and for people that are already prone to anxiety this can be hard to cope with.” Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. You also may feel a little more on edge or short with others, compulsively check your phone or have obsessive and intrusive thoughts about the text conversation. Simply hearing a notification (通知), if our phone is out of reach, causes the brain chemicals associated with stress to spike. As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. A 2018 study found that romantic partnerships and friendships are far more successful when you and the other person have a similar texting style. If both parties are quick responders, the relationship is less likely to hit the rocks. Similarly, if all parties are happy to go hours, days, even weeks between responses, then everyone is happy. Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles. Aguirre suggests limiting the amount of time you are on your phone also helps with the anxiety. “By cancelling or reducing how much contact you have with the source of anxiety, you’ll feel some relief,” she says. “You can give yourself a pep talk, tell yourself that you are okay and that you have no control over another person’s response or behavior. Remind yourself that this is just a phone or a text message and that, big picture, you are okay and will be okay.” 103．The purpose of Paragraph 2 is to____________. A．analyze the cause of troubled relationships B．stress the importance of communication C．demonstrate the level of texting anxiety D．introduce the increasing use of cell phones 104．What does the underlined phrase “on edge” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Frightened. B．Interested. C．Excited. D．Nervous. 105．What can we infer from the passage? A．Creating a texting plan with others helps reduce text anxiety. B．Putting phones on “silence” mode increases anxiety. C．We should ask our partners to change their texting styles. D．Texting anxiety is often caused by the time taken to answer the texts. 106．What would be the best title for the passage? A．A texting schedule: The final way out. B．Text conversations: Strengths and weaknesses. C．Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions. D．A new perspective: How much texting is too much. 【答案】103．C 104．D 105．A 106．C 【导语】本文主要说明了手机带来的信息焦虑的危害及如何缓解这种焦虑。 【详解】103．根据第二段中的“The average person in 2022 checks their phone 262 times a day, up from a daily average of 80 in 2016. Overwhelmed, many end up consciously or unconsciously opting out, stopping responding to loved ones and friends. ”可知，人们对手机的依赖程度越来越高，导致更大程度的焦虑，并选择开始无视手机信息。由此推知，第二段的目的是为了更具体的说明手机信息焦虑的程度。 104．根据划线词组上文“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate.(Aguirre表示，这种焦虑会体现在身体的反应中，胸部紧绷，紧张或是心率加快)”说明这种焦虑会导致紧张的情绪。由此推知，划线词组on edge是“紧张的”意思，对应D项。 105．根据倒数第二段中的“Establishing a texting schedule with people you interact with frequently is one way of reducing some of the stress if you have different texting styles.(如果你和经常联系的人有着不同的发消息习惯，可以与他们建立一个消息时间表，这是减轻压力的途径之一)”可知，制定一个消息时间表有助于减轻压力。 106．根据第四段第一句“Aguirre says this is reflected in a physical reaction, tightness in the chest, tensions, or increased heart rate. (Aguirre表示，这种焦虑会体现在身体的反应中，胸部紧绷，紧张或是心率加快)”及第五段第一句“As well as the personal effects, text anxiety can put a strain on your relationships with friends and loved ones. (信息焦虑不仅会对个人产生影响，也会给你与亲友的关系带来负面影响)”可知，信息焦虑有很多弊端；最后两段中的“Establishing a texting schedule (建立消息时间表)”，“limiting the amount of time(限制时间)”和“You can give yourself a pep talk (给自己打气)”等则给出了具体的解决方法。由此可知，本篇主要说明的是信息焦虑带来的问题及解决办法。Texting anxiety: Problems and solutions(信息焦虑：问题和解决方案)适合作本文最佳标题。 Fossil by fossil, the story of the birds becomes clearer. It is now well established that modern birds are actually a group of dinosaurs, which survived a crash between the earth and a small planet 66m years ago. This impact wiped out the rest of the dinosaur world, along with a lot of other creatures. Recently a paper, published in Nature, has released the details of a fossil, which those studying it believe provides our earliest view of what modern birds were like during the initial stages of their evolutionary history. The fossil in question is called Asteriornis maastrichtensis. As its name suggests, the rock containing it was dug from deposits (沉积层) found near Maastricht. These deposits are between 66.8m and 66.7m years old. This particular rock interested paleontologists (古生物学家) because it included visible leg bones that looked as though they belonged to a bird. Such ancient fossils are rare, so instead of chancing their arms by using physical or chemical methods to explore the rock for more remains, Daniel Field of Cambridge University and his colleagues employed a CT scan, a process more familiar to most people as a medical-scanning technique. The result, an image of the animal’s skull with false colours added to clarify which bits are which, can be seen in the picture. Asteriornis maastrichtensis does indeed turn out to be a member of the modern birds. Specifically, it is part of the Galloanserae, which includes both land fowl (家禽), such as chickens and their relatives, and modern waterfowl, like ducks and the like. The skull of Asteriornis maastrichtensis exhibits features of both groups, so it most probably predates the division between them. And its discovery in Europe opens up the debate about whether modern birds originated in the southern part of the earth, as has been proposed. As to what it looked like when alive, the animal’s left upper leg, its best-preserved bone besides those of its skull, suggests Asteriornis maastrichtensis was a long-legged creature that marched around. This, and evidence that the rock it was preserved in was originally part of a fossil shoreline, has led to reconstructions of modern waterfowl. Asteriornis maastrichtensis shows that a single fossil can help to nail down previously uncertain dates. The age of the fossil, in fact, suggests that those previous estimates, based on so-called molecular clocks (分子钟), might have overestimated how early the modern birds arose. Based on the discovery of Asteriornis maastrichtensis, the smart money is now on the modern birds as a group being only a little older than the dinosaur—killing impact itself. 107．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A．The details of the fossil are still in doubt. B．The deposits were named after the fossil. C．The crash caused the extinction of dinosaurs. D．The fossil is seen as the oldest modern bird skull. 108．What can be inferred about Asteriornis maastrichtensis from the passage? A．It attracts palaeontologists as a rare ancient species. B．It can present the whole picture of modern waterfowl. C．It allows researchers to confirm where modern birds emerged. D．It may be the common ancestor of modern chickens and ducks. 109．According to the passage, the author may agree that _______. A．fossils promote the accuracy of historical dates B．more investment should be made to study fossils C．we can’t trust fossils more than molecular clocks D．it’s not wise to dig the deposits for more remains 【答案】107．D 108．D 109．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一种名为Asteriornis maastrichtensis的化石发现，它被认为是现代鸟类最早期的代表，属于Galloanserae群体，其发现有助于修正之前对现代鸟类起源时间的估计。 【详解】107．第二段说明：“Recently a paper, published in Nature, has released the details of a fossil, which those studying it believe provides our earliest view of what modern birds were like during the initial stages of their evolutionary history”，表明该化石被视为最早的现代鸟类头骨。 108．第四段说明：“it is part of the Galloanserae, which includes both land fowl, such as chickens and their relatives, and modern waterfowl, like ducks and the like. The skull of Asteriornis maastrichtensis exhibits features of both groups, so it most probably predates the division between them”，说明它可能是现代鸡和鸭子的共同祖先。 109．最后一段说明：“Asteriornis maastrichtensis shows that a single fossil can help to nail down previously uncertain dates”，表明化石有助于确定之前不确定的日期，因此作者可能同意化石能提高历史日期的准确性。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
