专题06 阅读理解之说明文15篇（深圳专用） （精选中考模拟热点话题） These days, China has shocked the world once again. On the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, a groundbreaking program called WuBOT amazed audiences. In this performance, humanoid robots from Unitree Technology joined young martial artists from the Tagou Martial Arts School. Together, they created a perfect mix of traditional Chinese Kung Fu and modern artificial intelligence. Unlike the simple dances of the past, the Unitree G1 and H2 robots showed incredible skills. They performed high-difficulty moves such as backflips, parkour, and even the Drunken Fist style. Some robots waved nunchaku(双截棍) with speed and precision, matching the movements of the human students perfectly. This was the world’s first fully autonomous group martial arts performance by humanoid robots. The technology behind this show is impressive. Unitree developed a new control system that allows a number of robots to move together without mistakes. They also used AI fusion positioning to help the robots know exactly where they are on the stage, even after jumping high in the air. ________ This performance shows the rapid development of China’s robotics industry. Just one year ago, these robots could only do simple group dances. Now, they can handle complex physical tasks. Experts believe this technology will soon be widely used in education, public services, and daily life, making robots helpful partners for humans. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic of the passage?

It is a gentle way to care for our physical health, quite different from the modern medicine we usually see in hospitals. Modern medicine often works quickly to fight diseases. But TCM uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and feel better in a more balanced way. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs (草药). For example, if you cough, a TCM-trained doctor might give you warm tea made from natural herbs to soothe your pain. These herbs work like natural medicine to help fight off sickness without strong side effects. Another key part is Chinese Zhenjiu. It uses thin needles (针) that are put into skin at special points. Though it may sound scary at first, it is not painful at all. Chinese Zhenjiu can help improve sleep and make people feel better quickly. Besides these treatments, TCM also pays much attention to people’s lifestyle and eating habits. TCM-trained doctors believe that if we eat healthy food, keep a balanced diet and live a regular life, we can stay healthy and won’t get sick. They often give us simple advice on daily activities, like light exercise or rest plans, to keep our bodies strong. As the world becomes more connected, TCM has won hearts of people from home and abroad. In many foreign countries, even some hospitals have begun to mix TCM methods with modern medicine, using both kinds of treatments together to help patients get well. Today, TCM is not just a medical system but also a symbol of Chinese wisdom. It teaches people to live in peace with nature and take good care of themselves. It has become a bridge of friendship between China and other countries, helping people from different cultures understand each other better. 1．Which paragraph talks about “What is TCM”? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 2．The underlined word “soothe” in paragraph 2 means ________. A．discover B．express C．reduce D．cause 3．What does TCM pay attention to? ① Eating habits.        ② Different moods. ③ People’s lifestyle.     ④ Modern medicine. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Herbs have become a bridge of different cultures. B．Foreign treatments have many strong side effects. C．Chinese Zhenjiu helps people keep a balanced diet. D．TCM follows the idea of living in peace with nature. 5．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To compare TCM with modern medicine. B．To teach people how to use TCM at home. C．To ask people to try both kinds of treatments. D．To introduce treatments and influence of TCM. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中医的治疗方法及其影响。 1．文章第一段介绍了中医的历史、特点及其与现代医学的区别，回答了“什么是中医”的问题。 2．文章第二段“if you cough, a TCM-trained doctor might give you warm tea made from natural herbs to soothe your pain”，结合语境，咳嗽时喝草药茶是为了“减轻”疼痛，选项C“reduce”意为“减少”，与soothe意思相近。 3．文章第四段第一句“TCM also pays much attention to people’s lifestyle and eating habits”，指出中医关注①饮食习惯和③人们的生活方式。 4．文章最后一段第二句“It teaches people to live in peace with nature”，指出中医遵循与自然和谐相处的理念。 5．文章分别介绍了中医的草药、针灸、生活方式建议及其在国内外的传播与影响，因此写作目的是介绍中医的治疗方法及其影响。 Paper cutting is one of the most traditional folk arts in China. With a history of over 1,500 years, it has become an important part of Chinese culture and is popular worldwide. But how did it develop, what skills does it need, and why does it still shine today? Paper cutting first appeared in the Northern and Southern dynasties. At that time, paper was expensive, so people only used it for festivals like the Spring Festival, sticking simple patterns on  windows for good luck. During the Tang Dynasty, paper making improved, making paper cheaper. As a result, paper cutting spread to ordinary families, and people created more complex designs. By the Qing Dynasty, it reached its golden age, with artists making detailed works using only scissors and paper. Creating a perfect paper cutting is not easy. First, choose the right paper; red paper is common for joy and good luck, while thin rice paper is better for fine details. Second, draw the pattern or fold the paper for symmetrical designs——folding is a key skill. Finally, cut carefully, as a small mistake can ruin the whole work; unlike other arts, paper cutting cannot be corrected. Paper cutting remains popular because it carries rich cultural meanings. A fish means “having more than enough”; mandarin ducks stand for a happy marriage; a peach symbolizes long life. It has also adapted to modern life, with artists mixing traditional patterns with cartoon characters and city views. In 2009, it was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Paper cutting is a symbol of Chinese wisdom. As long as people inherit and innovate, this ancient art will live on. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．When did paper cutting first appear? A．In the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Qing Dynasty. C．In the Northern and Southern dynasties. D．In the 21st century. 2．Why did paper cutting spread to ordinary families in the Tang Dynasty? A．Because paper became cheaper. B．Because scissors were invented. C．Because festivals became more important. D．Because artists created more patterns. 3．What does the underlined word “symmetrical” mean in Chinese? A．抽象的 B．对称的 C．立体的 D．残缺的 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Red paper is the only choice for paper cutting. B．Paper cutting can be corrected if there is a mistake.

Sometimes, your body may give a sudden jump. If this happens to you, don’t be afraid. You are not alone. In fact, this is called a hypnic jerk (入睡抽动). It is very common. A report says up to 70% of people have this experience. But what causes it? Here are some ideas. Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing, especially if you feel nervous or can’t find a comfortable position. As you start to sleep, your body becomes relaxed. But your brain is still awake. It mistakes your relaxed body for a sign that you are really falling. “ ▲ ”. Then, it quickly wakes your body up to “save” you. Other scientists believe that it has something to do with our sleep stages. We have two main stages of sleep: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our body may work in an unusual way. If we jump into REM too quickly, it might cause the twitches. For example, sometimes your leg or arm moves suddenly when you are starting to sleep. But no matter what the cause is, experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless! If it wakes you up, just turn over and go back to sleep. It’s a normal part of sleep and there is no need to worry about it. But remember that drinking coffee in the evening or feeling stressed may make hypnic jerks happen more often. 1．What do we know about hypnic jerks from the first paragraph? A．They happen to only a few people. B．They are a common thing during sleep. C．They always make people feel scared. D．They mean people are in physical danger. 2．Which of the following can be put in “▲” in Paragraph 2? A．Your brain thinks you are in danger. B．Sleeping is good for your health. C．This usually happens in the morning. D．The feeling comes very slowly. 3．What does the underlined word “twitches” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Sleep stages. B．Deep sleep. C．Unusual feelings. D．Sudden movements. 4．Which of the following may increase hypnic jerks? A．Waking up much too early. B．Turning over more often. C．Drinking milk before bed. D．Feeling stressed at night. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The ways to stop sleep jumps. B．The importance of enough sleep. C．The reasons for hypnic jerks. D．The differences between sleep stages. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了入睡前抽动这一常见睡眠现象，说明了它的普遍性、两种科学成因及影响因素。 1．根据原文第一段“In fact, this is called a hypnic jerk (入睡抽动). It is very common. A report says up to 70% of people have this experience.”可知，入睡前抽动非常普遍，70%的人都有过这种经历，对应选项B“They are a common thing during sleep.”。 2．根据原文第二段上下文“It mistakes your relaxed body as a sign that you are really falling. ▲ Then, it quickly wakes your body up to ‘save’ you.”可知，大脑误将放松的身体当作坠落信号，后续会唤醒身体“拯救”你，因此空格处应说明大脑的判断逻辑，选项A“Your brain thinks you are in danger.”符合上下文语义。 3．根据原文第三段“For example, sometimes your leg or arm moves suddenly when you are starting to sleep.”可知，“twitches”指的是入睡时腿或手臂突然的动作，对应选项D“Sudden movements.”。 4．根据原文最后一段“But remember that drinking coffee in the evening or feeling stressed may make hypnic jerks happen more often.”可知，晚上喝咖啡或感到压力大可能会让入睡前抽动更频繁，选项D“Feeling stressed at night.”符合这一描述。 5．全文围绕入睡前抽动的两种科学成因、影响因素展开说明，核心主题是入睡前抽动的原因，对应选项C“The reasons for hypnic jerks”。 ①Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They don’t know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. ②We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. ③Many people say they yawn because they’re bored or tired. That might be true. However, we know that people also yawn when they’re excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. ④Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (伸展) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. ⑤In some countries, people think yawning isn’t nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. ⑥Scientists don’t spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It’s just something we do. 1．According to the passage, which of the following is the correct order of a yawn? a. Close your mouth quickly.     b. Open your mouth slowly. c. Push the air out.         d. Take in a lot of air. A．b-c-d-a B．b-d-c-a C．d-b-c-a D．d-c-b-a 2．What does the underlined word “contagious” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Able to spread quickly. B．Able to breathe easily. C．Able to change easily. D．Able to sleep quickly. 3．Why do Olympic runners often yawn before a race according to the passage? A．They feel very bored before the race. B．They yawn to calm down and cool their brains. C．They want to get more air to run faster. D．They are too nervous to remember how to breathe. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Different reasons for yawning B．Advantages of yawning C．Facts and opinions about yawning D．Best ways to stop yawning in public 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了关于打哈欠的各种事实：打哈欠的方式、打哈欠会传染、打哈欠的原因、打哈欠可能让人反应更快，以及不同国家对打哈欠的不同看法等等。 1．第二段中提到“First, you open your mouth slowly...You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth(a).”，所以正确顺序为b→d→c→a。 2．第二段中提到“When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too.”，说明打哈欠会从一个人“传染”给另一个人，所以“contagious”意为“能迅速传播的”，选项A“Able to spread quickly.”正确。 3．第三段中提到“Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race... a yawn can help a warm brain cool down.”，所以奥运选手赛前打哈欠是为了让大脑降温，选项B“They yawn to calm down and cool their brains.”正确。 4．文章结构：第①段总起 (科学家不知道打哈欠的确切原因，但知道许多事实)；第②段讲打哈欠的方式和传染性；第③段讲打哈欠的原因 (包括为大脑降温)；第④段讲打哈欠可能让人反应更快；第⑤段讲不同文化对打哈欠的看法；第⑥段总结 (科学家不常研究打哈欠因为它无害)。这是“总—分—总”的结构。选项B正确。 5．全文介绍了关于打哈欠的各种事实 (方式、传染性、原因、生理作用、文化差异)以及科学家的看法，所以选项C“Facts and opinions about yawning”最能概括全文主旨。 “No print, no year” is an old saying well-known to people in Suzhou, Jiangsu. The “print” here means Taohuawu Woodblock (木版) New Year Prints, a special kind of nianhua. Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints gets its name from the Taohuawu area in Suzhou. Many people there made the prints in the past. It is famous for its bright colors, clear lines and many different themes. In 2006, Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints was named a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Sun Yibo, 44, has worked on Taohuawu prints for over 20 years. Sun said Taohuawu prints are nianhua with door gods, flowers, birds, and pop culture like games and films. Sun once made a woodblock print to show a scene in the game Paper Bride (《纸嫁衣》). He spent months working on it. “Each Taohuawu print follows the ‘one color on one carved block’ rule and is made with the colors printed on top of each other,” explained Sun. “There are six colors in the scene, so I made six color blocks.” It takes a long time to make a woodblock print, so few people want to learn this skill. But Sun and other inheritors (传承人) in Suzhou are trying to let more young people know about it. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, people from Taohuawu made more than 1 million works a year. Many were sent abroad to the UK, Germany and Japan. People believe that Taohuawu prints also influenced Japanese prints. Many Japanese artists learned the style of drawing women and stage scenes (舞台场景) from Taohuawu prints. 1．What does the word “print” mean in the old saying “No print, no year”? A．A book with pictures. B．Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints. C．A photo of a new year party. D．A paper with lucky words. 2．Why is Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints famous? A．It is very cheap and easy to buy.

Now, technology is bringing us some amazing answers. One of the most exciting developments is the mind-controlled robotic arm. A team of researchers recently showed how a person can control a robotic arm using only their thoughts. The user wears a special cap that can read brain signals (信号). When the user thinks about moving his or her arm, the cap picks up these signals. A computer then translates them into orders, and the robotic arm moves exactly as the user wishes. With practice, users can perform detailed tasks like picking up a cup of water or even writing. This technology is not just for arms. Scientists are working on similar systems for legs to help people who have lost the ability to walk. The hope is that one day, mind-controlled robot suits will allow them to stand up and walk again. Besides, gene editing (基因编辑) is another field that is changing medicine. It works like a “search and-replace” tool for DNA．Doctors can use it to find and correct a harmful gene that causes a disease, possibly curing the patient forever. While it sounds like science fiction, it has already been used to treat some rare genetic diseases successfully. These technologies fill us with hope for the future. They show that with continued research, the line between human ability and technology is becoming less clear, offering new possibilities for healing (治愈) and human enhancement (能力提升). 1．How does the mind-controlled robotic arm work? A．By following the user’s voice orders. B．By reading and translating the user’s brain signals. C．By watching the user’s muscle movements. D．By learning from repeated practice. 2．What is the main purpose of gene editing technology according to the passage? A．To create new types of humans. B．To help people live without food or sleep. C．To find and correct disease-causing genes. D．To make people smarter. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The scientists. B．The mind-controlled robot suits. C．The detailed tasks. D．People who can’t walk. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Mind-controlled technology can only be used for arms. B．Gene editing is still just an idea and has never worked. C．These technologies could greatly change many people’s lives. D．The special cap for controlling the robotic arm is very heavy. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The History of Robots B．New Hope in Medical Technology C．How to Keep Our Brains Healthy D．The Dangers of Gene Editing 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科技在帮助残疾人方面的新进展，包括意念控制的机械臂、为腿部研发的类似系统以及基因编辑技术，这些技术为医疗领域带来了新的希望。 1．第二段提到：“The user wears a special cap that can read brain signals (信号). When the user thinks about moving his or her arm, the cap picks up these signals. A computer then translates them into orders, and the robotic arm moves exactly as the user wishes.”，说明意念控制的机械臂是通过读取并翻译用户的大脑信号来工作的。 2．第四段提到：“Doctors can use it to find and correct a harmful gene that causes a disease, possibly curing the patient forever.”，说明基因编辑技术的主要目的是找到并纠正导致疾病的基因。 3．第三段提到：“Scientists are working on similar systems for legs to help people who have lost the ability to walk. The hope is that one day, mind-controlled robot suits will allow them to stand up and walk again.”，说明第三段中的“them”指的是那些不能走路的人。 4．最后一段提到：“These technologies fill us with hope for the future. They show that with continued research, the line between human ability and technology is becoming less clear, offering new possibilities for healing (治愈) and human enhancement (能力提升).”，说明这些技术可能会极大地改变许多人的生活。 5．文章主要介绍了意念控制的机械臂和基因编辑技术等医疗科技的新进展，这些技术为医疗领域带来了新的希望，因此最适合的标题是“New Hope in Medical Technology”（医疗技术的新希望）。 Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships. Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs. Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed. Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships.

The answer lies in how our brains work. Our brain has a part called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory. When we learn something new, the hippocampus helps to store the information. But if we don’t use that information again, the brain may slowly forget it. That’s why reviewing what you learn is so important. Scientists have found that there is a good way to remember things better: spaced repetition. This means you review new information at different times, not all at once. For example, if you learn 10 new words today, review them tomorrow, then again after three days, then after a week. This helps the brain move information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Another useful way is to connect new information with things you already know. If you are learning about pandas, think about what you already know—they are black and white, they eat bamboo, they live in China. Making these connections helps your brain create stronger memory paths. Getting enough sleep is also very important for memory. During sleep, your brain organizes and stores what you learned during the day. So don’t stay up late studying—a good night’s sleep will help you remember better the next day. 1．What part of the brain is very important for memory? A．The brain stem. B．The hippocampus. C．The cerebellum. D．The frontal lobe. 2．What does “spaced repetition” mean according to the passage? A．Learning everything in one day. B．Reviewing information at different times. C．Reading information again and again without stopping. D．Writing down everything you learn. 3．How can you create stronger memory paths? A．By learning more new things every day. B．By connecting new information with things you already know. C．By studying for a long time without a break. D．By reading the same page many times. 4．What should you do to remember better according to the passage? A．Stay up late studying. B．Avoid sleeping too much. C．Get enough sleep. D．Study all night before an exam. 5．Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A．How to Be a Good Student B．The Importance of Sleep C．Ways to Improve Your Memory D．How the Human Brain Works 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了大脑中负责记忆的海马体，并提出了几种提高记忆的方法：间隔重复、联系已有知识以及保证充足睡眠。 1．文章第二段指出“Our brain has a part called the hippocampus, which is very important for memory.”，说明海马体对记忆非常重要。 2．文章第三段指出“This means you review new information at different times, not all at once.”，说明间隔重复是指在不同时间复习信息。 3．文章第四段指出“Making these connections helps your brain create stronger memory paths.”，说明通过将新信息与已知事物联系起来可以创建更强的记忆路径。 4．文章最后一段指出“Getting enough sleep is also very important for memory.”，说明要想记住更好，应该保证充足睡眠。 5．文章介绍了海马体、间隔重复、联系已知知识和充足睡眠等提高记忆的方法，因此最佳标题为“Ways to Improve Your Memory”。 Do animals communicate with each other? I did some research and, to my surprise, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they do send messages to each other. I learned that animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language. The alarm call is one way that sounds are used for communication. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Those who hear it run to safety, hide, or get together to fight the enemy. Dogs bark (吠叫) to show other animals how they’re feeling. Whales are well-known for their ability to communicate from far away with special sounds. Humans don’t understand the meaning of these sounds, but in their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other. ___▲___ Some organisms such as the amoeba (变形虫) give out a chemical to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Some animals send out a strong smell to warn other animals to stay away from them. For example, skunks (臭鼬) give off an odour when they feel they are in danger. There are many examples of animals that use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. When angry, they stick out their tongues (舌头). Think of a happy dog moving its tail from side to side. Even humans understand this form of dog body language. Humans have developed their own system to communicate with each other, using words and sentences. But if you watch other animals carefully for a while, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of getting their messages across. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling jokes. B．By using an old saying. C．By asking a question. D．By comparing information. 2．Which can be put in ___▲___? A．There are so many animals that communicate with sounds. B．A number of animals are in danger. C．Smell is another popular method of animal communication. D．Other animals communicate with each other by sending signals. 3．What does the underlined word “odour” mean? A．Sound. B．Heat. C．Gas. D．Smell. 4．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph1, ②=Paragraph2, ...) A．①/②/③④⑤. B．①/②③/④/⑤. C．①/②③④/⑤. D．①/②③④⑤. 5．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To introduce some special animals. B．To call on people to protect animals. C．To show his worries about animals. D．To explain how animals communicate. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了动物通过声音、气味和肢体语言这三种方式进行交流的具体现象和例子。 1．第一段第一句为“Do animals communicate with each other?”，说明作者是通过提出一个问题来引入话题的。 2．第三段主要列举了变形虫和臭鼬通过释放化学物质或气味进行交流的例子，整段围绕“气味”展开。选项C“Smell is another popular method of animal communication.”能概括本段主旨，符合语境。 3．第三段提到“send out a strong smell to warn”，以及后半句“skunks give off an odour when they feel they are in danger”，说明臭鼬在危险时释放的是难闻的气味。因此odour意为“气味”，与smell同义。 4．第一段总述动物交流的三种主要方式；第二、三、四段分别详细介绍了声音、气味和肢体语言这三种交流方式；第五段总结人类与动物交流方式的异同。文章结构为“总—分—总”，即①/②③④/⑤。 5．通读全文，文章主要介绍了动物通过声音、气味和肢体语言这三种方式进行交流的具体现象和例子，旨在解释动物是如何交流的。 Plants are often seen as silent and still. But new science shows they might be “talking” to each other — just not in the way we do. Instead of using sounds or words, they communicate underground through a secret network made of fungi (真菌). Scientists from Spain recently published a study in Plant Science. They found that broccoli plants can send warning signals to their neighbours through a special type of fungus. When one plant was infected by a disease, its neighbour — connected through the fungus — began to prepare its own defenses, even though it had not been touched by the disease itself. The warning traveled through the thread-like connections of the fungus, like a hidden underground telephone line. The researchers call this a “wired communication” system. Unlike the wireless signals that carry our phone messages, this plant communication depends on real, physical connections in the soil. The fungus acts as a bridge, allowing the “sender” plant to tell the “receiver” plant, “Watch out, something dangerous is coming!” “These findings open a whole new window into how plants interact,” said one scientist on the team. “The better we understand this hidden world, the more we realize that plants are not passive at all.” The discovery could also help farmers in the future. If we learn how to use this natural network, crops might be protected from diseases without using so many chemicals. Nature, it seems, already has its own early warning system — we just need to learn how to listen. 1．What helps broccoli plants “talk” to each other? A．Sounds made by wind. B．Wi-Fi signals underground. C．A special type of fungus. D．Worms moving in the soil. 2．What can be inferred from the broccoli experiment? A．Plants can only communicate when they are infected. B．The warning signal travels faster than human phone calls. C．A healthy plant can receive warnings before being harmed. D．Broccoli is the only plant that has this ability. 3．How is the plants’ communication system different from human phone calls? A．It depends on physical connections instead of wireless signals. B．It takes much longer for a message to reach another plant. C．It can only be used to warn about diseases, not other dangers. D．It requires humans to set up the connections in the soil. 4．What does the scientist mean by saying “plants are not passive at all”? A．Plants can move to avoid being eaten. B．Plants actively take part in their environment. C．Plants grow faster than we expected. D．Plants produce more oxygen than before. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．The Secret of Broccoli’s Great Taste B．How Spanish Scientists Grow New Crops C．The Underground “Internet” of Plants D．Why Farmers Should Use More Chemicals 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了科学研究发现植物可以通过地下真菌网络进行交流，以西蓝花实验为例说明了这种“有线通信”系统的工作原理及其潜在应用价值。 1．根据第一段"Instead of using sounds or words, they communicate underground through a secret network made of fungi (真菌)." 以及第二段 "through a special type of fungus"可知，帮助西蓝花植物“交谈”的是一种特殊的真菌。 2．根据第二段"When one plant was infected by a disease, its neighbour — connected through the fungus — began to prepare its own defenses, even though it had not been touched by the disease itself."可知，健康的植物在受到伤害前就能接收到警告信号。 3．根据第三段"Unlike the wireless signals that carry our phone messages, this plant communication depends on real, physical connections in the soil."可知，植物交流系统依赖于物理连接而非无线信号。 4．根据第四段上下文可知，科学家发现植物能通过真菌网络交流、传递警告并准备防御，这说明植物并非静止被动地存在，而是积极地与环境互动。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了植物通过地下真菌网络进行交流的现象，将其比作“地下电话线”或网络系统。 Do you like playing? Today, playing is seen as such an important part of growing up that the UN says it is a child’s right that must be protected by law. Playing helps you keep active, stay well and be happy. Children and plenty of adults love to play. There are different kinds of play: creative play such as art and dressing up; adventure (冒险) games and sports that test your skills; and “free play”, which lets children follow their own ideas without rules, and learn to make decisions and solve problems on their own. Playing helps your brain develop and grow. Taking turns, explaining ideas and imagining how other people feel are a big part of playing games. All these skills are useful for managing your feelings and making more friends. Playing outside in nature makes us less stressed. Dodd’s studies show play can give you happy hormones (荷尔蒙). This effect is especially clear when playing with friends. “I like to play football. It makes me happy,” says a 9-year-old student, Tommy. Playing sports teaches you new skills. “Going outside and having an adventure can show you how to try a new thing,” says Professor Helen. It refers to a mixed feeling of fear and excitement, often called “butterflies in your stomach”. Whether it’s trying a new way on a skateboard, trying an unknown road, or going camping (with an adult’s agreement), this feeling is part of the adventure. In short, play is far more than just fun. It is a key to healthy growth and a powerful teacher of life skills. So, go ahead and play! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example.

In the past few years, Chinese astronauts have traveled to the Tiangong space station many times. They have done scientific experiments and even given lessons to students on Earth. Now, China is looking to the future with an exciting new plan to send common people to space. In 2028, a private Chinese company will send up its first manned flight to the edge of space. The spaceship, named Chuanyuezhe-1, will take passengers to about 100 kilometers above the Earth. This area is called the Karman Line. It is widely seen as the beginning of outer space. The spaceship can carry seven people at a time. During the flight, passengers will experience weightlessness for three to six minutes. They will also be able to look down at the Earth through a large window. The company says the spaceship is reusable. The landing system was tested many times under difficult conditions. Its landing system has survived all the safety tests. No problems were found, so the company believes it is ready for the first flight. The first group of over twenty passengers includes a famous actor, a scientist, and some business leaders. ▲ Each ticket costs 3 million yuan. People need to pay 10% of the price first to book a seat. Space travel was once only a dream for common people. Now, it is slowly coming true.

This is the idea behind shared libraries, also sometimes called Libraries of Things. We’re not talking about common libraries here, where you can borrow books, magazines, newspapers, and more. Shared libraries offer other things like umbrellas and first-aid supplies (急救用品) to local people. So people are able to borrow them for free or at a very low price. Nowadays, in Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei and other places, many communities have set up shared libraries. Beyond being a convenient way to get hold of free things, shared libraries may make a big difference in other ways. First, they are good for the environment. The things in shared libraries are usually common things that we all need but don’t use often. These kinds of things can fill up our homes and are left unused most of the time. By reducing (减少) the need for new things, shared libraries can cut down the environmental problems caused by producing these things. Besides, shared libraries can help people improve the sense of community. In this modern society, it’s easy for people to feel lonely. But shared libraries aim (目的是) to bring people together to support each other and share resources. They can also provide people with chances for socializing (交往). In a world where we’re encouraged to continue to collect more and more things, shared libraries make people understand the importance of sharing and making the best use of things and start a different way of life. The next time you find yourself in need of something, consider looking for a way to borrow it — it’ll be easy on the earth, easy on your pocket, and great for the community. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why does the writer begin the text by asking a question?

So people are able to borrow them for free or at a very low price.”，说明共享图书馆的特别之处在于人们可以免费或低价借用日常生活用品。 3．文中第三段提到“shared libraries aim to bring people together to support each other and share resources.”，结合上下文，“resources”指的是人们用来满足需求、达成目标的物品或资源，与选项D的释义相符。 4．文中多次提到共享图书馆的好处：“good for the environment”、“improve the sense of community”、“easy on the earth, easy on your pocket, and great for the community”，可以看出作者对共享图书馆持支持态度。 5．全文围绕共享图书馆展开，介绍了它的概念、特点以及环保、社区建设等方面的优势，因此作者的写作目的是介绍共享图书馆及其优点。 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 $ 专题06 阅读理解之说明文15篇（深圳专用） （精选中考模拟热点话题） These days, China has shocked the world once again. On the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, a groundbreaking program called WuBOT amazed audiences. In this performance, humanoid robots from Unitree Technology joined young martial artists from the Tagou Martial Arts School. Together, they created a perfect mix of traditional Chinese Kung Fu and modern artificial intelligence. Unlike the simple dances of the past, the Unitree G1 and H2 robots showed incredible skills. They performed high-difficulty moves such as backflips, parkour, and even the Drunken Fist style. Some robots waved nunchaku(双截棍) with speed and precision, matching the movements of the human students perfectly. This was the world’s first fully autonomous group martial arts performance by humanoid robots. The technology behind this show is impressive. Unitree developed a new control system that allows a number of robots to move together without mistakes. They also used AI fusion positioning to help the robots know exactly where they are on the stage, even after jumping high in the air. ________ This performance shows the rapid development of China’s robotics industry. Just one year ago, these robots could only do simple group dances. Now, they can handle complex physical tasks.

D．To describe a performance where robots and humans practiced martial arts together. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a precious part of Chinese culture with a history of over 2,000 years. It is a gentle way to care for our physical health, quite different from the modern medicine we usually see in hospitals. Modern medicine often works quickly to fight diseases. But TCM uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and feel better in a more balanced way. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs (草药). For example, if you cough, a TCM-trained doctor might give you warm tea made from natural herbs to soothe your pain. These herbs work like natural medicine to help fight off sickness without strong side effects. Another key part is Chinese Zhenjiu. It uses thin needles (针) that are put into skin at special points. Though it may sound scary at first, it is not painful at all. Chinese Zhenjiu can help improve sleep and make people feel better quickly. Besides these treatments, TCM also pays much attention to people’s lifestyle and eating habits. TCM-trained doctors believe that if we eat healthy food, keep a balanced diet and live a regular life, we can stay healthy and won’t get sick. They often give us simple advice on daily activities, like light exercise or rest plans, to keep our bodies strong. As the world becomes more connected, TCM has won hearts of people from home and abroad. In many foreign countries, even some hospitals have begun to mix TCM methods with modern medicine, using both kinds of treatments together to help patients get well. Today, TCM is not just a medical system but also a symbol of Chinese wisdom. It teaches people to live in peace with nature and take good care of themselves. It has become a bridge of friendship between China and other countries, helping people from different cultures understand each other better. 1．Which paragraph talks about “What is TCM”? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 2．The underlined word “soothe” in paragraph 2 means ________. A．discover B．express C．reduce D．cause 3．What does TCM pay attention to? ① Eating habits.        ② Different moods. ③ People’s lifestyle.     ④ Modern medicine. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Herbs have become a bridge of different cultures. B．Foreign treatments have many strong side effects. C．Chinese Zhenjiu helps people keep a balanced diet. D．TCM follows the idea of living in peace with nature. 5．What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage? A．To compare TCM with modern medicine. B．To teach people how to use TCM at home. C．To ask people to try both kinds of treatments. D．To introduce treatments and influence of TCM. Paper cutting is one of the most traditional folk arts in China. With a history of over 1,500 years, it has become an important part of Chinese culture and is popular worldwide. But how did it develop, what skills does it need, and why does it still shine today? Paper cutting first appeared in the Northern and Southern dynasties. At that time, paper was expensive, so people only used it for festivals like the Spring Festival, sticking simple patterns on  windows for good luck. During the Tang Dynasty, paper making improved, making paper cheaper. As a result, paper cutting spread to ordinary families, and people created more complex designs. By the Qing Dynasty, it reached its golden age, with artists making detailed works using only scissors and paper. Creating a perfect paper cutting is not easy. First, choose the right paper; red paper is common for joy and good luck, while thin rice paper is better for fine details. Second, draw the pattern or fold the paper for symmetrical designs——folding is a key skill. Finally, cut carefully, as a small mistake can ruin the whole work; unlike other arts, paper cutting cannot be corrected. Paper cutting remains popular because it carries rich cultural meanings. A fish means “having more than enough”; mandarin ducks stand for a happy marriage; a peach symbolizes long life. It has also adapted to modern life, with artists mixing traditional patterns with cartoon characters and city views. In 2009, it was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Paper cutting is a symbol of Chinese wisdom. As long as people inherit and innovate, this ancient art will live on. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．When did paper cutting first appear? A．In the Tang Dynasty.

A group of students from Tianjin found that most of them had few ideas about their future jobs due to a lack of support from school or family. ②To provide helpful guidance (指导), students from TEDA No.1 Secondary School started an activity called “Dian Zhi Cheng Shi, Zhi Yin Wei Lai”. The team interviewed professionals (专业人士) from different fields and published their interviews on the Internet. These professionals shared their true stories and opinions on different jobs. “We also invited the professionals to give talks so that students could talk to them face to face,” said Wang Xinran. ③Wang’s favourite interview was with a photographer. “I used to think being a photographer was cool, but now I realize they face many challenges. For example, they have to talk with different people and keep an eye on the weather. One of the biggest challenges is the awful weather. So I think the job isn’t easy,” the photographer said. ④Such interviews don’t disappoint students because there are still some happy and exciting things at work. “We want to show the beauty in every profession,” said Zhao Yajie. “We believe work should be about love. And we hope the activity can help students understand that.” ⑤All in all, schools and families should offer more forms of career guidance for students.

(①=Paragraph 1) A．①→②③→④⑤ B．①→②③④⑤ C．①→②→③④⑤ D．①→②③④→⑤ Have you ever felt like you are falling when you are about to sleep? Sometimes, your body may give a sudden jump. If this happens to you, don’t be afraid. You are not alone. In fact, this is called a hypnic jerk (入睡抽动). It is very common. A report says up to 70% of people have this experience. But what causes it? Here are some ideas. Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing, especially if you feel nervous or can’t find a comfortable position. As you start to sleep, your body becomes relaxed. But your brain is still awake. It mistakes your relaxed body for a sign that you are really falling. “ ▲ ”. Then, it quickly wakes your body up to “save” you. Other scientists believe that it has something to do with our sleep stages. We have two main stages of sleep: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our body may work in an unusual way. If we jump into REM too quickly, it might cause the twitches. For example, sometimes your leg or arm moves suddenly when you are starting to sleep. But no matter what the cause is, experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless! If it wakes you up, just turn over and go back to sleep. It’s a normal part of sleep and there is no need to worry about it. But remember that drinking coffee in the evening or feeling stressed may make hypnic jerks happen more often. 1．What do we know about hypnic jerks from the first paragraph?

D．Feeling stressed at night. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The ways to stop sleep jumps. B．The importance of enough sleep. C．The reasons for hypnic jerks. D．The differences between sleep stages. ①Do you yawn? There are about 20 reasons that scientists think are possible for yawning after research. They don’t know exactly why yawning happens, but they do know many facts about yawning. ②We know that everyone yawns in the same way. First, you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. You take in a lot of air and then push it out. Then you quickly close your mouth. We also know that yawning is contagious. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. ③Many people say they yawn because they’re bored or tired. That might be true. However, we know that people also yawn when they’re excited or nervous. Olympic runners, for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that? In 2007, scientists found that a yawn can help a warm brain cool down. ④Some scientists believe that yawning makes you notice things more quickly. When you yawn, you breathe deeply. You also stretch (伸展) the muscles (肌肉) in your face, mouth, and neck. Your eardrums stretch, too. Maybe this helps you to be quicker to notice things. ⑤In some countries, people think yawning isn’t nice. People put their hands over their mouths to cover a yawn. In other countries, people think yawning is healthy. They think that opening the mouth very big can let good things in. When they breathe out, they think that bad things go out of the body with the air. ⑥Scientists don’t spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning does not hurt. It’s just something we do. 1．According to the passage, which of the following is the correct order of a yawn? a. Close your mouth quickly.     b. Open your mouth slowly. c.

The “print” here means Taohuawu Woodblock (木版) New Year Prints, a special kind of nianhua. Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints gets its name from the Taohuawu area in Suzhou. Many people there made the prints in the past. It is famous for its bright colors, clear lines and many different themes. In 2006, Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints was named a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Sun Yibo, 44, has worked on Taohuawu prints for over 20 years. Sun said Taohuawu prints are nianhua with door gods, flowers, birds, and pop culture like games and films. Sun once made a woodblock print to show a scene in the game Paper Bride (《纸嫁衣》). He spent months working on it. “Each Taohuawu print follows the ‘one color on one carved block’ rule and is made with the colors printed on top of each other,” explained Sun. “There are six colors in the scene, so I made six color blocks.” It takes a long time to make a woodblock print, so few people want to learn this skill. But Sun and other inheritors (传承人) in Suzhou are trying to let more young people know about it. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, people from Taohuawu made more than 1 million works a year. Many were sent abroad to the UK, Germany and Japan. People believe that Taohuawu prints also influenced Japanese prints. Many Japanese artists learned the style of drawing women and stage scenes (舞台场景) from Taohuawu prints. 1．What does the word “print” mean in the old saying “No print, no year”? A．A book with pictures.

B．Culture and traditions. C．Sports and games. D．Cooking and food. For many years, scientists have been looking for better ways to help people who are disabled. Now, technology is bringing us some amazing answers. One of the most exciting developments is the mind-controlled robotic arm. A team of researchers recently showed how a person can control a robotic arm using only their thoughts. The user wears a special cap that can read brain signals (信号). When the user thinks about moving his or her arm, the cap picks up these signals. A computer then translates them into orders, and the robotic arm moves exactly as the user wishes. With practice, users can perform detailed tasks like picking up a cup of water or even writing. This technology is not just for arms. Scientists are working on similar systems for legs to help people who have lost the ability to walk. The hope is that one day, mind-controlled robot suits will allow them to stand up and walk again. Besides, gene editing (基因编辑) is another field that is changing medicine. It works like a “search and-replace” tool for DNA．Doctors can use it to find and correct a harmful gene that causes a disease, possibly curing the patient forever. While it sounds like science fiction, it has already been used to treat some rare genetic diseases successfully. These technologies fill us with hope for the future. They show that with continued research, the line between human ability and technology is becoming less clear, offering new possibilities for healing (治愈) and human enhancement (能力提升). 1．How does the mind-controlled robotic arm work? A．By following the user’s voice orders. B．By reading and translating the user’s brain signals. C．By watching the user’s muscle movements.

To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships. Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs. Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed. Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement. 1．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)? A．Their classmates. B．Some schools. C．Most parents. 2．Why are students given chances to take part in activities? A．To get good grades. B．To improve speaking ability. C．To get the pleasure of success. 3．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Project work makes teenagers nervous. B．Good qualities will lead to a happy life. C．Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time. 4．What is important for making students strong minded? A．Honesty. B．Self-motivation. C．Communication. 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Value of Moral Education B．The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability C．The Meaning of Success to Teenagers Have you ever wondered why some people seem to remember everything while others forget things easily? The answer lies in how our brains work. Our brain has a part called the hippocampus (海马体), which is very important for memory. When we learn something new, the hippocampus helps to store the information. But if we don’t use that information again, the brain may slowly forget it. That’s why reviewing what you learn is so important. Scientists have found that there is a good way to remember things better: spaced repetition. This means you review new information at different times, not all at once. For example, if you learn 10 new words today, review them tomorrow, then again after three days, then after a week. This helps the brain move information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Another useful way is to connect new information with things you already know. If you are learning about pandas, think about what you already know—they are black and white, they eat bamboo, they live in China. Making these connections helps your brain create stronger memory paths. Getting enough sleep is also very important for memory. During sleep, your brain organizes and stores what you learned during the day. So don’t stay up late studying—a good night’s sleep will help you remember better the next day. 1．What part of the brain is very important for memory? A．The brain stem. B．The hippocampus. C．The cerebellum. D．The frontal lobe. 2．What does “spaced repetition” mean according to the passage? A．Learning everything in one day. B．Reviewing information at different times. C．Reading information again and again without stopping. D．Writing down everything you learn. 3．How can you create stronger memory paths? A．By learning more new things every day. B．By connecting new information with things you already know. C．By studying for a long time without a break. D．By reading the same page many times. 4．What should you do to remember better according to the passage? A．Stay up late studying. B．Avoid sleeping too much. C．Get enough sleep. D．Study all night before an exam. 5．Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A．How to Be a Good Student B．The Importance of Sleep C．Ways to Improve Your Memory D．How the Human Brain Works Do animals communicate with each other? I did some research and, to my surprise, I learned that all animals communicate. They don’t use language, but they do send messages to each other. I learned that animals communicate with each other in three main ways: through sounds, smells, and body language. The alarm call is one way that sounds are used for communication. When an enemy is near, animals send out a warning sound. Those who hear it run to safety, hide, or get together to fight the enemy. Dogs bark (吠叫) to show other animals how they’re feeling. Whales are well-known for their ability to communicate from far away with special sounds. Humans don’t understand the meaning of these sounds, but in their own social groups, whales understand what they’re saying to each other. ___▲___ Some organisms such as the amoeba (变形虫) give out a chemical to tell other amoebas it’s going to have babies. Some animals send out a strong smell to warn other animals to stay away from them. For example, skunks (臭鼬) give off an odour when they feel they are in danger. There are many examples of animals that use body language to communicate. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) touch hands when they meet. When angry, they stick out their tongues (舌头). Think of a happy dog moving its tail from side to side. Even humans understand this form of dog body language. Humans have developed their own system to communicate with each other, using words and sentences. But if you watch other animals carefully for a while, you quickly come to understand that they also have ways of getting their messages across. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling jokes. B．By using an old saying. C．By asking a question. D．By comparing information. 2．Which can be put in ___▲___? A．There are so many animals that communicate with sounds. B．A number of animals are in danger. C．Smell is another popular method of animal communication. D．Other animals communicate with each other by sending signals. 3．What does the underlined word “odour” mean? A．Sound. B．Heat. C．Gas. D．Smell. 4．What’s the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph1, ②=Paragraph2, ...) A．①/②/③④⑤. B．①/②③/④/⑤. C．①/②③④/⑤. D．①/②③④⑤. 5．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To introduce some special animals. B．To call on people to protect animals. C．To show his worries about animals. D．To explain how animals communicate. Plants are often seen as silent and still. But new science shows they might be “talking” to each other — just not in the way we do. Instead of using sounds or words, they communicate underground through a secret network made of fungi (真菌). Scientists from Spain recently published a study in Plant Science. They found that broccoli plants can send warning signals to their neighbours through a special type of fungus. When one plant was infected by a disease, its neighbour — connected through the fungus — began to prepare its own defenses, even though it had not been touched by the disease itself. The warning traveled through the thread-like connections of the fungus, like a hidden underground telephone line. The researchers call this a “wired communication” system. Unlike the wireless signals that carry our phone messages, this plant communication depends on real, physical connections in the soil. The fungus acts as a bridge, allowing the “sender” plant to tell the “receiver” plant, “Watch out, something dangerous is coming!” “These findings open a whole new window into how plants interact,” said one scientist on the team. “The better we understand this hidden world, the more we realize that plants are not passive at all.” The discovery could also help farmers in the future. If we learn how to use this natural network, crops might be protected from diseases without using so many chemicals. Nature, it seems, already has its own early warning system — we just need to learn how to listen. 1．What helps broccoli plants “talk” to each other? A．Sounds made by wind. B．Wi-Fi signals underground. C．A special type of fungus. D．Worms moving in the soil. 2．What can be inferred from the broccoli experiment? A．Plants can only communicate when they are infected. B．The warning signal travels faster than human phone calls. C．A healthy plant can receive warnings before being harmed. D．Broccoli is the only plant that has this ability. 3．How is the plants’ communication system different from human phone calls? A．It depends on physical connections instead of wireless signals. B．It takes much longer for a message to reach another plant. C．It can only be used to warn about diseases, not other dangers. D．It requires humans to set up the connections in the soil. 4．What does the scientist mean by saying “plants are not passive at all”? A．Plants can move to avoid being eaten. B．Plants actively take part in their environment. C．Plants grow faster than we expected. D．Plants produce more oxygen than before. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．The Secret of Broccoli’s Great Taste B．How Spanish Scientists Grow New Crops C．The Underground “Internet” of Plants D．Why Farmers Should Use More Chemicals Do you like playing? Today, playing is seen as such an important part of growing up that the UN says it is a child’s right that must be protected by law. Playing helps you keep active, stay well and be happy. Children and plenty of adults love to play. There are different kinds of play: creative play such as art and dressing up; adventure (冒险) games and sports that test your skills; and “free play”, which lets children follow their own ideas without rules, and learn to make decisions and solve problems on their own. Playing helps your brain develop and grow. Taking turns, explaining ideas and imagining how other people feel are a big part of playing games. All these skills are useful for managing your feelings and making more friends. Playing outside in nature makes us less stressed. Dodd’s studies show play can give you happy hormones (荷尔蒙). This effect is especially clear when playing with friends. “I like to play football. It makes me happy,” says a 9-year-old student, Tommy. Playing sports teaches you new skills. “Going outside and having an adventure can show you how to try a new thing,” says Professor Helen. It refers to a mixed feeling of fear and excitement, often called “butterflies in your stomach”. Whether it’s trying a new way on a skateboard, trying an unknown road, or going camping (with an adult’s agreement), this feeling is part of the adventure. In short, play is far more than just fun. It is a key to healthy growth and a powerful teacher of life skills. So, go ahead and play! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example.

In the past few years, Chinese astronauts have traveled to the Tiangong space station many times. They have done scientific experiments and even given lessons to students on Earth. Now, China is looking to the future with an exciting new plan to send common people to space. In 2028, a private Chinese company will send up its first manned flight to the edge of space. The spaceship, named Chuanyuezhe-1, will take passengers to about 100 kilometers above the Earth. This area is called the Karman Line. It is widely seen as the beginning of outer space. The spaceship can carry seven people at a time. During the flight, passengers will experience weightlessness for three to six minutes. They will also be able to look down at the Earth through a large window. The company says the spaceship is reusable. The landing system was tested many times under difficult conditions. Its landing system has survived all the safety tests. No problems were found, so the company believes it is ready for the first flight. The first group of over twenty passengers includes a famous actor, a scientist, and some business leaders. ▲ Each ticket costs 3 million yuan. People need to pay 10% of the price first to book a seat. Space travel was once only a dream for common people. Now, it is slowly coming true. Though it is still very expensive, the trip will become cheaper in the future as technology improves. China is now taking an important step to make space a place for everyone. 1．What is the new exciting plan of China’s space industry? A．Building a new space station. B．Giving lessons in space.

This is the idea behind shared libraries, also sometimes called Libraries of Things. We’re not talking about common libraries here, where you can borrow books, magazines, newspapers, and more. Shared libraries offer other things like umbrellas and first-aid supplies (急救用品) to local people. So people are able to borrow them for free or at a very low price. Nowadays, in Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei and other places, many communities have set up shared libraries. Beyond being a convenient way to get hold of free things, shared libraries may make a big difference in other ways. First, they are good for the environment. The things in shared libraries are usually common things that we all need but don’t use often. These kinds of things can fill up our homes and are left unused most of the time. By reducing (减少) the need for new things, shared libraries can cut down the environmental problems caused by producing these things. Besides, shared libraries can help people improve the sense of community. In this modern society, it’s easy for people to feel lonely. But shared libraries aim (目的是) to bring people together to support each other and share resources. They can also provide people with chances for socializing (交往). In a world where we’re encouraged to continue to collect more and more things, shared libraries make people understand the importance of sharing and making the best use of things and start a different way of life. The next time you find yourself in need of something, consider looking for a way to borrow it — it’ll be easy on the earth, easy on your pocket, and great for the community. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why does the writer begin the text by asking a question?
