This story happens in the ocean. Chinese scientists made a new kind of robot. It looks like a small fish and can swim freely in the water. But this “fish” is not a real one—it is a man-made machine! People can use it to help clean the oceans by collecting tiny pieces of plastic (塑料) called microplastics. These microplastics are smaller than 5mm in size. They mainly come from plastic bags, bottles and clothes. They can even reach the deepest parts of the sea. Fish and other sea animals often eat them by mistake. This is very harmful to sea animals’ health or even makes them lose their lives. Now the robotic fish can swim around and collect the microplastics. It swims just like a real fish, so ▲ The robot is about 1.5cm long and very light. Scientists say one robot can collect around 5 grams of plastic each day. If we use many such robots in the sea, they will help make our oceans cleaner. This small robot is not only a cleaning tool. It also shows that science can help solve big environmental problems. In the future, these robots may help us learn more about life under the sea. Maybe one day, every school can use it in fun science lessons. 1．What’s the “fish” in fact? A．An animal. B．A robot. C．A small toy. D．A kind of plant. 2．What does the underlined word “harmful” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Bad. B．Different. C．Important. D．Useless. 3．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．it will catch other fish. B．it looks like a big shark. C．it can talk to sea animals. D．it will not make other sea animals feel afraid. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The robotic fish is dangerous. B．All schools have robotic fish now. C．The robotic fish may help with environmental protection. D．People use the robot only to study sea animals in deep seas. 5．Which one is the best title for the passage? A．A Real Fish Can Eat Plastic B．The Danger of Micro plastics C．A New Helper to Clean the Ocean D．How Scientists Learn About Life Under the Sea 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款由中国科学家研发的新型机器鱼，它能够高效收集海洋中的微塑料垃圾，从而帮助清洁海洋环境并解决生态问题。 1．根据第一段中“Chinese scientists made a new kind of robot...a real one—it is a man-made machine!”可知，这种“鱼”实际上是科学家制造的一种机器人即“A robot.”。 2．根据第二段中“Fish and other sea animals often...lose their lives.”可知，海洋动物误食塑料会导致死亡，这对它们的健康是非常“有害的”。“Bad”意为坏的、有害的，符合语境。 3．根据第三段中“It swims just like a real fish, so ▲”可知，机器鱼游动的姿态像真鱼一样。结合其清理塑料的用途，可以推断这样设计是为了让它融入海洋环境，不会引起其他海洋动物的恐慌，“it will not make other sea animals feel afraid”表达了该含义，符合语境。 4．根据最后一段中“It also shows that science can help solve big environmental problems.”可知，这种机器鱼有助于解决环境问题。“The robotic fish may help with environmental protection.”是同义转述。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种新型机器鱼，它可以收集微塑料帮助清洁海洋，并介绍了其意义和未来应用。C选项“清洁海洋的新助手”最能概括文章的核心主题。 Nowadays, the Internet is very important in our life. But many places, like faraway villages, deserts and mountains, still have no Internet. To solve this problem, SpaceX, an American space company, started the Starlink project. Starlink is a big network of thousands of small satellites. They fly around the Earth in low orbit (轨道). The satellites can send Internet signals to every corner of the world. People there can use a small dish to get the signals and enjoy high-speed Internet. Unlike traditional Internet, Starlink does not depend on cables or tall towers. The first Starlink satellites went into space in 2019. Now there are more than 6,000 Starlink satellites. It helps people in remote areas (偏远地区) use the Internet for study, work and medical help. When big disasters happen and traditional Internet stops working, Starlink can keep people online. Today, Starlink is used in many countries. It not only brings better Internet to the world but also opens up new possibilities for education, business and communication. But Starlink also brings some problems. Too many satellites may make space junk. They may also have a bad influence on watching stars. Scientists are trying to make better rules to make sure Starlink is safe for space. 1．What is Starlink? A．A kind of mobile phone. B．A network of satellites for Internet. C．A new kind of computer. D．A space station. 2．Which places can get Internet from Starlink? A．Remote villages without Internet. B．Big cities only. C．Places with many cables. D．Places with tall signal towers. 3．What is the problem of Starlink? A．It is too expensive for people. B．It can only work in big cities. C．It may create space junk. D．It makes Internet speed slow. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Starlink is useless for people when disasters happen. B．Starlink satellites fly closer than many others from the Earth C．Starlink is only used in some developed countries. D．Starlink is completely safe for people to use now. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国公司发起的卫星网络项目，发现其通过数千颗低轨道卫星可为全球偏远地区提供互联网服务，这与传统网络依赖电缆和高塔的方式不同，并探讨了该项目可能带来的太空垃圾等问题。 1．第二段定义“Starlink is a big network of thousands of small satellites”，并指出“The satellites can send Internet signals to every corner of the world”，这直接说明Starlink是一个用于提供互联网服务的卫星网络。 2．第一段说明背景“many places, like faraway villages, deserts and mountains, still have no Internet. To solve this problem... started the Starlink project”，第三段进一步指出“It helps people in remote areas use the Internet”，这直接说明没有互联网的偏远村庄等地区可以通过Starlink获得网络服务。 3．第四段指出问题“Too many satellites may make space junk”，这直接说明Starlink可能带来的问题是制造太空垃圾。 4．第二段描述轨道特征“They fly around the Earth in low orbit”，低轨道意味着卫星距离地球更近，这直接说明Starlink卫星比许多其他卫星飞得离地球更近，选项B描述正确。其他选项与原文不符，第三段指出灾难时Starlink能保持在线，并非无用；第三段提到在许多国家使用，并非仅发达国家；第四段说明科学家正在制定规则以确保安全，因此目前并非完全安全。 The earth moves round the sun, and the moon moves round the earth. When our part of the earth turns away from the sun, it is night. The sun is much bigger than the moon. But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun, because it’s much nearer to the earth.

D．When our part of the earth turns to the moon, it is daytime. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了地球、月球、太阳和恒星的运行规律、大小关系及发光特性，解释了我们在地球上看到它们的大小、亮度差异的原因。 1．根据文章第一段第一句“The earth moves round the sun”可知，绕太阳转的是地球。 2．根据文章第二段第二句“But sometimes the moon looks bigger than the sun, because it’s much nearer to the earth.”可知，原因是距离地球更近。 3．根据文章第二段第四、五句“The sun is very bright. It gives a very strong light.”可知，太阳既明亮又发出强光。 4．根据文章第三段第二句“But in fact, the stars are much bigger and brighter than the moon.”可知，实际上星星比月亮大。 5．根据文章第一段第三句“When our part of the earth turns to the moon, it is night.”可知，选项D称是白天（daytime），与原文不符。 ALIENS ARRIVE! Tina woke up at midnight. She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky. It suddenly dived towards the ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light. The next morning, Tina mentioned it to her brother Tom. “I’m sure something landed in the forest near the hills as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said. “Let’s go and explore after school tonight.” At 6:00 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet. Then they saw an alien! It was tall, with a round head and a silver body. It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash. Suddenly, another alien appeared from the bushes in front of them. The children were frightened. But then Tom got a feeling at the back of his throat. He couldn’t stop himself and coughed loudly. The aliens saw them both and made a terrible noise! The children ran away in fear. The next day, Tina and Tom told their parents about the strange creatures. “They were very ugly. They had some hair, but they didn’t have any feathers,” said Tina. “There was something written on the spaceship,” said Tom. “It looked like this. I wonder what it means.” He drew some lines on a piece of paper. Dad looked at them as if they were crazy. “Since no one else saw these aliens, I refuse to believe you. Now go to school!” The children spread their wings and flew to school together. Dad looked at the piece of paper with the strange marks on it. “It looks strange,” he said, as he looked at the word “EARTH”. 1．When did Tina see the yellow light in the sky? A．At midnight. B．In the morning. C．At 6:00 p.m. D．The next day. 2．Why did Tina and Tom hide behind the bushes? A．They were playing a game. B．They heard strange voices and wanted to keep quiet.

She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky.”可知，蒂娜是在午夜看到天空中的黄色光的。 2．由第三段“They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet.”可知，蒂娜和汤姆躲在灌木丛后面是因为他们听到奇怪的声音，想要保持安静。 3．从第三段“At 6:00 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language... It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash.”可知，宇宙飞船是因为坠毁而损坏了。 4．根据最后一段“The children spread their wings and flew to school together. Dad looked at the piece of paper with strange marks on it. ‘It looks strange,’ he said, as he looked at the word ‘EARTH’.”可推测，这些所谓的“外星人”可能实际上是来自地球的人类。 ①China is sharing its MAZU weather warning system with more countries. This system helps poor countries deal with bad weather like storms and floods. The MAZU system gets its name from Mazu, an ancient Chinese sea goddess who protects fishermen. It mixes old culture with new weather tools like AI. ②Chen Zhenlin, head of China’s weather service, said the MAZU system has got a lot of attention since it came out last year. It is China’s answer to the UN’s “Early Warnings for All” project. Bad weather can hurt food production and energy supply (能源供应). It can even harm the world’s factories and trade chains. The weather warning system helps keep the economy safe and people healthy. ③The system has grown from a China-only program into a global public one. Since 2024, about 1,000 people from over 100 poor countries have come to China to learn about weather warning technology. More than 40 countries are already using MAZU’s services. ④Moreover, it is made to meet each country’s needs. Seven countries, including Pakistan, Ethiopia and Sri Lanka, have got special versions (版本) of the system that fit their own needs. Chinese and foreign experts work together to build online tools that work well at the local level. ▲ ⑤During the 2026-2030 period, China will keep making the MAZU system better. It will use more AI and better tools to make the system more accurate and convenient to use. ⑥The system also shares ideas by inviting foreign experts to China and sending Chinese experts abroad in the future. This way of working helps other countries learn how to help themselves. China will also run more training programs and work more closely with international partners. 1．Why is the weather warning system called “MAZU”? A．Because it works best at sea. B．Because it was built by a goddess. C．Because it is named after a sea goddess. D．Because it was first used in a place called Mazu. 2．Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A．So China has decided to stop the program. B．But the system is too expensive for poor countries. C．However, many countries still cannot use the system. D．So the system helps poor countries build a better future. 3．What can we infer from the passage about the MAZU system? A．The MAZU system has only been used in China so far. B．The MAZU system will replace all local weather services in poor countries. C．The MAZU system is useful for countries near the sea. D．The MAZU system will become more helpful to more countries. 4．Which of the following shows the best structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, ... ) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的“妈祖（MAZU）”气象预警系统，阐述了它的命名由来、研发背景、当前的推广应用情况、定制化适配服务，以及未来的发展规划与合作方向。 1．根据第①段内容“The MAZU system gets its name from Mazu, an ancient Chinese sea goddess who protects fishermen.”可知，系统命名的原因。 2．第④段主要说明MAZU系统会根据各国需求提供定制化版本，中外专家合作打造适配当地的在线工具，整体为积极正向的表述。D选项“So the system helps poor countries build a better future.”承接前文定制化服务的积极影响，逻辑通顺。 3．A 选项“The MAZU system has only been used in China so far.”与第③段“More than 40 countries are already using MAZU’s services.”矛盾；B选项“The MAZU system will replace all local weather services in poor countries.”文中未提及“替代所有本地服务”，属于过度推断；C选项“The MAZU system is useful for countries near the sea.”文中未说明系统仅对沿海国家有用，属于主观臆断；D选项“The MAZU system will become more helpful to more countries.”可从第⑤段“China will keep making the MAZU system better”和第⑥段“China will also run more training programs and work more closely with international partners.”推断得出，符合文意。 4．第①②段：介绍 MAZU 系统的命名、作用及研发背景，属于Introduction（介绍）部分；第③④段：介绍系统从中国项目发展为全球公共服务、多国学习使用、定制化适配等推广与适配进展，属于Development（发展 / 推广）部分；第⑤⑥段：阐述系统未来的技术优化、国际交流与培训计划，属于Future（未来规划）部分。 进阶拓展训练5篇 Humans have been keeping pets, such as dogs and cats, for ages. But now, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing this tradition by creating robot “pets”, which look and act differently from real animals. These “pets” are changing the way people live, work, and play across China. Recently, a video of a woman walking a robotic dog in Shanghai became popular online, amazing millions on Weibo. They called it “a scene from the future”. Another popular video showed a robotic dog carrying a real puppy (小狗) on its back in Chengdu, attracting crowds. On shopping sites like Taobao, the Go2 quadruped (四足的) robot from Unitree Robotics has sold over 3,000 units. Buyers shared photos of the robots playing with children or performing in parks. One parent shared, “Though it looks different from the real dogs, my child loves it so much that we take it out almost every week to have fun—it’s like his best friend!” Robot pets are becoming silent partners in China’s modern life. At a Chongqing marathon, they danced like lions and joined 35,000 human runners. In Zhejiang, one even acted in a traditional opera show, amazing the audience with difficult performances. ________ In Hangzhou, a robot dog named “Xiao Xi” sends medicine to elderly people. In Shandong, they carry heavy goods in Mount Tai. In Qingdao, robot dogs help firefighters by searching dangerous areas. In Beijing, they patrol (巡逻) the streets and attract attention. As robots play a bigger role in our lives, China’s robot market is growing fast. A report shows it was worth 468 million yuan in 2023 and may reach 4.8 billion yuan by 2030. The government also supports this growth and promises to support more AI inventions, including smarter robots, AI-enabled phones and computers, and intelligent robots. 1．How does the writer make us know that robot pets are popular in Paragraph 2? A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples. C．By using a saying. D．By doing surveys. 2．What can we know about the Go2 quadruped robots? A．They can play with kids like friends. B．They are made for the future markets. C．Over 5,000 of them have been sold. D．They look and act just like real pets. 3．Which of the following sentences can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4? A．However, these robots are only used for entertainment (娱乐) B．Besides fun, these robots are also helping in public services. C．In fact, robots are not popular in China. D．These robots are mainly designed for children. 4．Why does the government support AI robots according to the text? A．To compete with other countries. B．To reduce the number of real pets. C．To take the place of human workers. D．To make people’s lives more convenient. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②/③④⑤ C．①/②③/④⑤ D．①②/③④⑤ 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了AI机器人宠物在中国的流行：它们外形与真宠物不同，但能陪伴、表演、送货、救援，市场增长迅速，政府也大力支持。 1．第二段句子“Recently, a video...Another popular video...”表明，作者通过列举上海和成都的两个具体视频案例来说明机器宠物的流行，属于举例说明。 2．第三段中买家的分享“it’s like his best friend!”以及“playing with children”指出，Go2 机器人可以像朋友一样和孩子玩耍。C选项销量为3000而非5000；D选项文中提到它们看起来和行为与真动物不同。 3．空格前的内容主要讲述机器人在娱乐方面的应用（马拉松、戏曲表演），空格后的内容讲述机器人在公共服务方面的应用（送药、搬运、消防等）。选项B“Besides fun, these robots are also helping in public services.”起到了承上启下的过渡作用。 4．通读全文可知，机器人被用于送药、搬运货物、消防搜救等，这些都便利了人们的生活。最后一段提到政府支持AI发明，结合全文语境，目的是为了让人们的生活更便利。A、B、C 选项在文中均未体现。 5．第一段引入话题（机器人宠物改变生活）；第二、三、四段通过视频、销量、应用场景具体阐述机器人宠物的现状和用途（主体部分）；第五段展望市场前景及政府支持（总结/未来）。因此结构为①/②③④/⑤。 You may hear “volunteers” many times. You may also see them on the road, in a community centre, or at the hospital. Then what is a volunteer? Volunteers are people who do a job without being paid. They are the people who are looking for the satisfaction (满足感) of helping others. Volunteers do many different kinds of jobs. Some volunteers read books onto tapes (磁带) so that people with eye problems can hear. Some volunteers send meals to the old or sick people. Some volunteers help visitors when they don’t know the way or when they have some other problems. Volunteers help when a natural disaster (自然灾害) hits a community. Volunteers help put out bush fires (林区大火). They may help people leave the areas quickly when there is an earthquake, a tsunami (海啸）or a flood. They may also help people rebuild their homes after the disasters. A community may not recover without the help of volunteers. Some communities need volunteers more than others. If the communities don’t have much money they will need a lot of help from volunteers. For example, communities with lots of old people may need more help from volunteers than communities with more young people. Volunteers can help the old do the cleaning, do the shopping or just talk with them. Without volunteers some communities even couldn’t work. Volunteers have done a lot for society. And they help improve people’s lives. So would you like to be a volunteer in the future? 1．According to the passage, who is volunteering? A． B． C． D． 2．Lingling is a student. She likes volunteering, and she meets a man who can’t see well. How can she help the man “read” books? A．She can record her voice when reading books. B．She can invite a doctor to treat the man. C．She can buy a pair of glasses for the man. D．She can learn how to help the man see well. 3．Which community may need more volunteers? A．A community which is full of old people. B．A community which lacks playgrounds. C．A community which can work itself. D．A community which is not clean. 4．How can you divide the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了志愿者的定义、不同类型的志愿工作，以及志愿者在社会中发挥的重要作用。 1．文中第二段提到志愿者会“send meals to the old or sick people”“help the old do the cleaning, do the shopping or just talk with them”，C选项图片展示了帮助老人的场景，符合志愿者行为。 2．文中第二段提到“Some volunteers read books onto tapes so that people with eye problems can hear”，说明帮助视力不好的人“读”书的方式是把书读出来录成磁带。 3．文中第四段提到“communities with lots of old people may need more help from volunteers than communities with more young people”，说明老人多的社区更需要志愿者。 4．文章结构分析：第1段介绍志愿者的定义；第2-4段分别介绍了志愿者的不同工作场景（日常服务、自然灾害、特殊社区）；第5段总结志愿者对社会的贡献。对应选项C的结构图（总起→分述→总结）。 How do people greet visitors? In most countries, people shake hands when they meet. However, the world is made up of many different cultures. Other cultures have special customs. Read on to find out! France France is famous for its people’s romantic (浪漫的) way of greeting. They touch their face and make a kissing sound. Brazil Come and take a bath! Indians in Brazil(巴西) love bathing very much. When you visit them, they will invite you to take a bath in a river with them. Thailand People in Thailand press their hands together and bow to greet each other.

It combines (融合) great stories, new technology and Chinese culture. A recent survey of 7,232 university students shows that over 40% often watch Chinese animations, and about 30% look for new ones every week. This growing interest can be seen in the success of films like Ne Zha 2, which became one of the top 5 movies at the global box office (全球票房)! What makes Chinese animations special? Most students say it’s the mix of traditional culture and modern technology. Over 80% of the students think this is the key reason for their interest. For example, Chang’an used smart technology to show beautiful scenes and poems in the Tang Dynasty. Ne Zha 2 told a classic myth (神话) in a modern way, showing that technology should finally serve cultural expression. “I believe Chinese animation can succeed,” says Huang Ziyi, a student of Wuhan University. “While Japanese animations focus on love stories and American animations focus on heroes, we have our own cultural stories that connect with people everywhere.” With better technology and rich cultural stories, Chinese animation is finding its place in the world. 1．What can we know from the survey?

A．cultural stories B．cool technology C．love stories D．brave heroes 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Animations Around the World B．The Rise of Chinese Animations C．Growing Interests of Animations D．The Future of  Global Animations 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国动画因融合传统文化与现代技术而受到年轻人的欢迎，并在全球范围内取得成功。 1．根据第一段“Chinese animation (动画), once less popular than foreign works, is now winning hearts worldwide, especially among young people.”以及第二段“A recent survey of 7,232 university students shows that over 40% often watch Chinese animations, and about 30% look for new ones every week.”，年轻人喜欢中国动画。 2．根据第二段“This growing interest can be seen in the success of films like Ne Zha 2”和第四段“For example, Chang’an used smart technology to ...”，作为传统文化与现代技术结合的代表，作者提及这两部电影是为了展示中国动画成功的案例。 3．根据第五段Huang Ziyi的观点“‘While Japanese animations focus on love stories and American animations focus on heroes, we have our own cultural stories...’”，她认为中国动画的优势在于其文化故事。 4．文章首段指出中国动画曾经不如外国作品，现在正赢得全球喜爱；中间段落通过调查数据和电影案例说明其受欢迎的原因及成功；尾段总结中国动画正在世界找到其地位。全文主要讲述中国动画的兴起。 China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also talk with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always prepare more food than the guests can eat. At the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that some Chinese hosts like to pick up food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables. The Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl. Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago: To meet friends from afar, how happy we are! 1．What does the underlined word “hospitable” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Welcoming. B．Hard-working. C．Creative.

A．Chinese Food Culture B．How to Serve Foreign Guests C．Warm Welcome in China D．Confucius and His Students 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国人热情好客的文化传统，介绍了外国人到中国家庭做客时会受到的款待，包括泡茶、提供零食、准备丰盛饭菜以及主人为客人夹菜等细节，体现了中国人让客人有宾至如归之感的礼仪文化。 1．第一段指出：“Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world”，并紧接着说外国人会“be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests”，说明hospitable意为“热情好客的”，与Welcoming（欢迎的）意思一致。 2．第二段提到主人“makes tea for you”和“serve you snacks like biscuits or candy”，第三段提到“other family members will prepare a meal for you”，因此①②③均有依据，④举办派对文中未提及。 3．第三段明确写道：“some Chinese hosts like to pick up food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables”，说明西方客人惊讶的原因是这种行为在西方不会发生。 4．第三段中提到：“The Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home”，直接说明中国家庭如此做的目的是让客人有宾至如归的感觉。 5．全文围绕中国人热情待客展开，从泡茶、备餐到夹菜，核心主题是中国的热情欢迎，“Warm Welcome in China”最能概括全文主旨。 能力综合实践5篇 阅读短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 The Story of Xu Xiujuan and the Red-Crowned Crane Have you ever heard the song “The Story of the Red-Crowned Crane”? It tells the story of Xu Xiujuan, a girl who gave her life to protect these rare birds. Xiujuan was born in 1964 in Zhalong, Heilongjiang. Her father worked at a local nature reserve, looking after red-crowned cranes. These tall, slim-necked birds are symbols of luck and loyalty, but they are now among the rarest crane species in the world. Xiujuan loved birds and started helping her father at 17. She became very good at taking care of them and even hatched her first crane eggs as a teenager. At 21, Xiujuan got a job at a nature reserve in Yancheng, Jiangsu. She carefully took three crane eggs with her on the long trip, making sure they stayed warm and safe. She worked hard there, caring for cranes, swans, and other birds. When a bird got sick, she would stay with it day and night until it could fly again. In 1987, two swans went missing. Xiujuan searched for them for two days and nights. She swam in the wetlands, hungry and thirsty, until she was too tired to return to the shore. She lost her life at just 23. Later, the song was written in memory of her courage and dedication. Today, China has set up many nature reserves to protect red-crowned cranes. Thanks to people like Xu Xiujuan, these beautiful birds have a better chance to survive. 1．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell us about the red-crowned crane’s living habits. B．To introduce Xu Xiujuan and her story of protecting red-crowned cranes. C．To explain why red-crowned cranes are in danger. D．To describe the work of nature reserves in China. 2．When did Xu Xiujuan start helping her father take care of cranes? A．In 1964. B．At the age of 17. C．At the age of 21. D．In 1987. 3．Why did Xu Xiujuan lose her life? A．She was attacked by a sick swan. B．She fell ill while taking care of crane eggs. C．She got too tired searching for missing swans in the wetlands. D．She was punished for taking crane eggs to another reserve. 4．Which of the following is NOT true about red-crowned cranes according to the passage? A．They are symbols of luck and loyalty in China. B．They are among the rarest crane species in the world. C．They live in wetlands and feed there. D．They are no longer endangered thanks to people like Xu Xiujuan. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文讲述了徐秀娟自幼喜爱鸟类，毕生用心守护丹顶鹤等珍稀鸟类，最终为寻找走失天鹅不幸牺牲，后人创作歌曲缅怀她，如今我国也建立多处保护区守护丹顶鹤的感人故事。 1．文章标题为“The Story of Xu Xiujuan and the Red-Crowned Crane”，首段引出徐秀娟为保护珍稀鸟类献出生命的故事，后续段落详细叙述了她的生平事迹及牺牲经过。因此，文章的主要目的是介绍徐秀娟及其保护丹顶鹤的故事。 2．根据第二段“Xiujuan loved birds and started helping her father at 17.”可知，徐秀娟在17岁时开始帮助父亲照顾丹顶鹤。 3．根据第四段“She swam in the wetlands, hungry and thirsty, until she was too tired to return to the shore. She lost her life at just 23.”可知，她因在湿地寻找失踪的天鹅过度劳累而无法返回岸边，最终牺牲。 4．根据第二段“...but they are now among the rarest crane species in the world.”可知丹顶鹤仍然是世界上最稀有的鹤种之一；最后一段提到“have a better chance to survive”，并未说明它们不再濒危。因此D项表述不符合文意。 Chinese scientists have developed a robotic antelope (羚羊) to watch over wild Tibetan antelopes-a species listed as “near endangered”. The robot, has successfully joined real antelope groups in nature. For many years, Tibetan antelopes were in serious danger. They were hunted for their soft fur, which is used to make expensive shawls (披肩). As a result, their population dropped greatly from one million to 65, 000 in the 1990s.  Thanks to strong protection effort, the number is now rising again. However, it is still difficult for scientists to study them closely. The antelopes live in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve (保护区), which is over 4,600 meters above sea level with cold and little oxygen. Also, the antelopes are very sensitive-they run away from humans 500—800 meters away. Traditional tools like telescopes cannot get close enough, and drones often scare the animals. So the robotic antelope was invented to solve these problems. Not long ago, the robot was recently tested near Zonag Lake where female antelopes go every summer to give birth. Unlike human scientists carrying cameras, the robotic antelope had a small hidden camera under its eyes. It looks just like a real antelope, sharing the same fur colour and body shape, so it doesn’t scare the animals. At first, the real antelopes seemed curious about the newcomer. But soon, it was accepted into the group to walk with the real antelopes and recorded videos. The robot uses artificial intelligence (AI), which allows it to “learn” as it moves. During the test, it successfully travelled 2 kilometers across challenging ground, like slopes (斜坡) and muddy wetlands, collecting valuable videos and data. Scientists believe this robotics technology can provide important information to support the protection of Tibetan antelopes, especially during birth and migration seasons, with very little human interference (干扰). 1．What was the population of Tibetan antelopes in the 1990s? A．1,000,000. B．65,000. C．4,600. D．500—800. 2．The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．casy to be scared or affected B．very friendly to humans C．difficult to see at night D．slow in moving. 3．Why didn’t the robotic antelope scare real antelopes? A．Because it moves very quickly. B．Because it works only at night. C．Because it makes friendly sounds. D．Because it looks like a real antelope. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．It explains why Tibetan antelopes were in danger. B．It discusses the importance of protecting Tibetan wild antelopes. C．It reports how scientists use a robotic antelope to protect wild antelopes. D．It compares the differences between real antelopes and robotic antelope. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国科学家研发机器羚羊来近距离监测野生藏羚羊，解决传统研究方法的难题，从而更好地保护这一近危物种的相关情况。 1．第二段指出研究发现：“their population dropped greatly from one million to 65, 000 in the 1990s”，这直接说明20世纪90年代藏羚羊的数量为65,000。 2．第三段说明原因：“the antelopes are very sensitive-they run away from humans 500—800 meters away”，并以藏羚羊见到人类会在500—800米外就逃跑为例，说明它们很容易受到惊扰或影响。 3．第四段说明原因：“It looks just like a real antelope, sharing the same fur colour and body shape, so it doesn’t scare the animals”，说明机器羚羊因为外形和真实藏羚羊高度相似，所以不会吓到它们。 4．全文围绕机器羚羊展开，讲述了它的研发背景、测试过程与作用，说明科学家如何利用机器羚羊来保护野生藏羚羊，这正是文章的主旨。 Exercise isn’t just good for our bodies. It can also benefit brains (大脑). In a new study, scientists found that exercise can improve students’ focus at school. Scientists from the University of North Carolina did the study with 25 students aged 9 to 12. The children did simple but high-intensity (高强度的) exercises like jumping jacks and squats. Each exercise lasted 30 seconds, with a 30-second rest in between. They exercised for 9 minutes in total. After the exercises, the scientists asked the students to take tests on the computer. Many of these tests focused on reading or other language skills. The scientists wanted to see if the high-intensity exercises would affect (影响) the test results. So, they also had the students take tests after doing low-intensity exercises (like riding a bike) and after watching a video. The result was interesting. The students did best in the language tests right after the high-intensity exercises. The scientists watched the students’ brain activity, too. They found that the high-intensity exercises changed a type of brain response (反应). Usually, negative (消极的) response happens when people realized they made a mistake. In the tests after the exercises, the students noticed their mistakes but didn’t spend too much time thinking about them. Instead (相反), they moved on quickly and focused on the rest of the tests. “Physical activity is great for kids’ brain health and schoolwork,” one scientist said. It’s good that students can do these exercises in the classroom. So a short exercise rest might be just what students need to do better in class! 根据材料内容，选择正确答案。 1．How long did the students do high-intensity exercises in the study? A．For 25 seconds. B．For 30 seconds. C．For 9 minutes. D．For 12 minutes. 2．Which activity helped the students do best in the language tests? A．Reading short stories. B．Riding a bike. C．Watching a funny video. D．Doing jumping jacks and squats. 3．After the high-intensity exercises, how did the students act when they noticed their mistakes in the tests? A．They did the tests a little slower. B．They began worrying more about the tests. C．They spent a lot of time finding out the reasons. D．They quickly turned their attention back to the tests. 4．What’s the right structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤. B．①/②③④/⑤. C．①②/③/④⑤. D．①/②③④⑤. 5．Why did the writer write the text? A．To encourage students to exercise more. B．To explain changes in brain activity during exercise. C．To compare different ways of improving language skills. D．To tell that exercise is good for students’ physical health. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍一项科学研究，说明高强度短时运动能提升学生的注意力和课堂表现，对大脑和学业有积极帮助。 1．第二段指出，“They exercised for 9 minutes in total.”本次高强度运动合计时长为9分钟。 2．根据第二段中“The children did simple but high-intensity exercises like jumping jacks and squats.”和第三段最后一句话“The students did best in the language tests right after the high-intensity exercises.”可知，开合跳和深蹲是本次的高强度运动项目，做完该运动后学生语言测试发挥最好。 3．原文指出“In the tests after the exercises, the students noticed their mistakes but didn’t spend too much time thinking about them. Instead, they moved on quickly and focused on the rest of the tests.” 说明学生发现错误后不会过度纠结、放慢速度、反复焦虑，而是快速跳过问题，重新将注意力投入到剩下的考试题目中。 4．第1段：总述观点，引出本次科学研究，第2-4段：具体介绍实验过程、实验结果、大脑科学原理，第5段：总结研究结论，发出课堂短时运动的倡议，对应划分 ①/②③④/⑤。 5．根据最后一段“Physical activity is great for kids’ brain health and schoolwork... So a short exercise rest might be just what students need to do better in class!”，可知，文章通篇用科学实验证明运动的好处，最终目的是呼吁并鼓励学生多进行短时锻炼，提升课堂和学业表现。 Imagine living in a place where people have no written or spoken language. This is the reality for some tribal (部落的) people in Africa. Take the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert for example. They do not have a written language. Instead, they use a rich system of hand gestures to express their ideas. When a Bushman wants to say “come here”, he waves his hand toward himself with the palm facing down. If he waves with the palm up, it means “go away”. Another tribe, the Hadza people in Tanzania, use gestures to hunt together. When they see an animal, they point with their whole hand instead of one finger. This is because pointing with one finger is considered impolite. They believe it brings bad luck. These African gestures are not just simple signals. They are complete ways of communicating. A person can tell a whole story only with his hands. Some researchers believe that studying these gestures can help us understand how human language first began. So the next time you wave your hand to a friend, remember—you are taking part in one of the oldest forms of human communication. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic of this passage? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a personal story. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing two cultures. 2．How many African tribes are mentioned in this passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 3．What does the writer mean by “complete ways of communicating” in Paragraph 4? A．These gestures are very difficult to learn. B．These gestures have a short history. C．These gestures are only used by old people. D．These gestures can express full meanings. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To teach readers how to use African gestures. B．To explain why some tribes have no language. C．To introduce a special way of communication in Africa. D．To prove that gestures are better than spoken language. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了非洲一些部落（如布什曼人和哈扎人）没有书面或口头语言，而是使用丰富的手势系统进行交流的现象，并说明了这种手势交流的意义。 1．根据文章第一段，作者点明非洲存在无文字语言的部落后，通过举例说明部落的交流方式引出主题。 2．根据第二段“Take the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert for example.”和第三段“Another tribe, the Hadza people in Tanzania.”，文中明确提到了布什曼人（Bushmen）和哈扎人（Hadza）这两个非洲部落。 3．根据第四段出题句下文：“A person can tell a whole story only with his hands.”，“complete ways of communicating”指的是这些手势能够表达完整的含义或讲述完整的故事。 4．文章主要介绍了非洲部落使用手势代替语言进行交流的特殊现象，包括具体的例子、手势的含义以及其研究价值。由此可知选项C“To introduce a special way of communication in Africa.”最能概括文章主旨。 [The following is an excerpt from Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel talks about an AI “Friend” Klara who believes the Sun can heal her fellow AF friend Rosa.] When we were new, Rosa and I stayed in the middle of the store, near the magazine table. From there we could see part of the window and watch the outside world—people passing by, taxis, tourists, Beggar Man and his dog, and the lower part of the RPO Building. Later, after we got used to the store, Manager let us walk to the front behind the shop window. From there we could see how tall the RPO Building was. And if we were there at just the right time, we would see the Sun crossing between the buildings. When I was lucky enough to see him, I’d move my face forward to take in as much of his nourishment (滋养) as I could, and if Rosa was with me, I’d tell her to do the same. After a minute or two, we’d have to return to our places and when we were new, we worried that because we couldn’t see the Sun from the middle of the store, we’d grow weaker. Boy AF (AI Friend) Rex, who was next to us, told us not to worry. He pointed to the floor and said, “That’s the Sun’s pattern(图案) right there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.” There were no customers then. Manager was busy, and I didn’t want to bother her. So I took a quick look at Rosa. When she looked back with no expression(表情), I stepped forward, bent down and reached out to touch the Sun’s pattern . But as soon as I touched it, the pattern was gone. I tried everything—patting (拍打) the spot, rubbing (摩擦) the floor—but it wouldn’t come back. When I stood up, Rex said, “Klara, that was greedy (贪婪的). You took all the nourishment for yourself. Look, it’s almost dark.” “I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.” “Because of you,” Rex said, “I’ ll become weak by evening.” “You’ re joking,” I said. “I’m not. I could get sick right now. And those AFs in the back? They’re already not well. They’ll get worse now. You were greedy, Klara.” “I don’t believe you,” I said, but I was no longer sure. I looked at Rosa—her face was still blank. “I’m feeling sick already,” Rex said. “But you just said the Sun always reaches us. You’re joking.” In the end, I made myself believe Rex was joking with me. But I sensed I had made him bring up something uncomfortable—something most AFs preferred not to talk about. Not long after, that thing happened to Rex. It made me think that even if he had been joking that day, part of him had been serious too. 1．What did Boy AF Rex tell Klara to do when she worried about growing weaker? A．To ask the Manager for a new place. B．To stay in the middle of the store. C．To touch the Sun's pattern on the floor. D．To move to the front of the window 2．Why did Klara decide to touch the Sun’s pattern on the floor? A．Because she wondered if Rex was right. B．Because Rosa asked her to do it. C．Because Manager told her to do it. D．Because she wanted to play a trick on Rex. 3．How did Klara feel after the Sun’s pattern disappeared(消失)? A．Confident and brave. B．Nervous and sorry. C．Angry and sad. D．Bored and uninterested. 4．What does the underlined word “blank” most likely mean? A．excited B．empty C．angry D．cheerful 5．What does the sentence suggest about “that thing” that happened to Rex? A．It was a lucky event that Rex had been hoping for. B．It was a rare problem that few AFs experienced. C．It was connected with the unspoken fear of weakness that AFs shared. D．It was a direct (直接的) result of Klara taking the Sun’s nourishment for herself. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文节选自石黑一雄《克拉拉与太阳》的片段，讲述了商店里的AI伙伴Klara，因对“失去太阳滋养、逐渐变弱”的恐惧，触摸了地板上的阳光图案，却意外导致图案消失，遭到同伴Rex的指责。故事通过Klara的无心之举与后续的愧疚，展现了AI群体对“变弱、失去生命能量”这一话题的隐秘恐惧，也埋下了Klara后续对“太阳”的信仰与人性探讨的伏笔。 1．根据第三段“That’s the Sun’s pattern right there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.”可知，当Klara担心自己变弱时，Rex告诉她可以触摸地上的太阳图案。 2．根据第三段“Rex, who was next to us, told us not to worry. He pointed to the floor and said, ‘That’s the Sun’s pattern right there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.’”可知，Klara触摸太阳图案是因为她想验证Rex的说法是否正确。 3．根据第四段“But as soon as I touched it, the pattern was gone. I tried everything—patting the spot, rubbing the floor—but it wouldn’t come back.” 和 “I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.”可知，图案消失后Klara感到紧张又愧疚。 4．根据第四段“When she looked back with no expression, I stepped forward, bent down and reached out to touch the Sun’s pattern.”可知，“blank”描述的是Rosa面无表情、茫然的状态。 5．根据第十三段“I sensed I had made him bring up something uncomfortable—something most AFs preferred not to talk about. Not long after, that thing happened to Rex.”可知，文中提到“most AFs preferred not to talk about”这件事，说明这是所有AI伙伴都心照不宣、不愿提及的恐惧——变虚弱、失去阳光滋养后无法存活，而Rex正是因为这次事件，遭遇了这种大家都害怕的结果。 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 期末总复习 Units 1-8 阅读理解巩固复习练15篇 （押题预测） 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 The show is not a music play but a true science story! This story happens in the ocean. Chinese scientists made a new kind of robot. It looks like a small fish and can swim freely in the water. But this “fish” is not a real one—it is a man-made machine! People can use it to help clean the oceans by collecting tiny pieces of plastic (塑料) called microplastics. These microplastics are smaller than 5mm in size. They mainly come from plastic bags, bottles and clothes. They can even reach the deepest parts of the sea. Fish and other sea animals often eat them by mistake. This is very harmful to sea animals’ health or even makes them lose their lives. Now the robotic fish can swim around and collect the microplastics. It swims just like a real fish, so ▲ The robot is about 1.5cm long and very light. Scientists say one robot can collect around 5 grams of plastic each day. If we use many such robots in the sea, they will help make our oceans cleaner. This small robot is not only a cleaning tool. It also shows that science can help solve big environmental problems. In the future, these robots may help us learn more about life under the sea. Maybe one day, every school can use it in fun science lessons. 1．What’s the “fish” in fact? A．An animal. B．A robot. C．A small toy. D．A kind of plant. 2．What does the underlined word “harmful” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Bad. B．Different. C．Important. D．Useless. 3．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 3? A．it will catch other fish. B．it looks like a big shark. C．it can talk to sea animals. D．it will not make other sea animals feel afraid. 4．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．The robotic fish is dangerous. B．All schools have robotic fish now. C．The robotic fish may help with environmental protection. D．People use the robot only to study sea animals in deep seas. 5．Which one is the best title for the passage? A．A Real Fish Can Eat Plastic B．The Danger of Micro plastics C．A New Helper to Clean the Ocean D．How Scientists Learn About Life Under the Sea Nowadays, the Internet is very important in our life. But many places, like faraway villages, deserts and mountains, still have no Internet. To solve this problem, SpaceX, an American space company, started the Starlink project. Starlink is a big network of thousands of small satellites. They fly around the Earth in low orbit (轨道). The satellites can send Internet signals to every corner of the world. People there can use a small dish to get the signals and enjoy high-speed Internet. Unlike traditional Internet, Starlink does not depend on cables or tall towers. The first Starlink satellites went into space in 2019. Now there are more than 6,000 Starlink satellites. It helps people in remote areas (偏远地区) use the Internet for study, work and medical help. When big disasters happen and traditional Internet stops working, Starlink can keep people online. Today, Starlink is used in many countries. It not only brings better Internet to the world but also opens up new possibilities for education, business and communication. But Starlink also brings some problems. Too many satellites may make space junk. They may also have a bad influence on watching stars. Scientists are trying to make better rules to make sure Starlink is safe for space. 1．What is Starlink? A．A kind of mobile phone. B．A network of satellites for Internet. C．A new kind of computer. D．A space station. 2．Which places can get Internet from Starlink? A．Remote villages without Internet. B．Big cities only. C．Places with many cables. D．Places with tall signal towers. 3．What is the problem of Starlink? A．It is too expensive for people. B．It can only work in big cities. C．It may create space junk. D．It makes Internet speed slow. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Starlink is useless for people when disasters happen. B．Starlink satellites fly closer than many others from the Earth C．Starlink is only used in some developed countries. D．Starlink is completely safe for people to use now.

Tina woke up at midnight. She looked out of her window and saw a yellow light in the sky. It suddenly dived towards the ground. She heard a noise and saw a red light. The next morning, Tina mentioned it to her brother Tom. “I’m sure something landed in the forest near the hills as I heard a loud noise last night,” she said. “Let’s go and explore after school tonight.” At 6:00 p.m., Tina and Tom reached the forest. They heard some voices speaking a strange language, so they hid behind some bushes and kept quiet. Then they saw an alien! It was tall, with a round head and a silver body. It was standing next to a long spaceship. The spaceship was damaged because of a crash. Suddenly, another alien appeared from the bushes in front of them. The children were frightened. But then Tom got a feeling at the back of his throat. He couldn’t stop himself and coughed loudly. The aliens saw them both and made a terrible noise! The children ran away in fear. The next day, Tina and Tom told their parents about the strange creatures. “They were very ugly. They had some hair, but they didn’t have any feathers,” said Tina. “There was something written on the spaceship,” said Tom. “It looked like this. I wonder what it means.” He drew some lines on a piece of paper. Dad looked at them as if they were crazy. “Since no one else saw these aliens, I refuse to believe you. Now go to school!” The children spread their wings and flew to school together. Dad looked at the piece of paper with the strange marks on it. “It looks strange,” he said, as he looked at the word “EARTH”. 1．When did Tina see the yellow light in the sky? A．At midnight. B．In the morning. C．At 6:00 p.m. D．The next day. 2．Why did Tina and Tom hide behind the bushes? A．They were playing a game. B．They heard strange voices and wanted to keep quiet. C．They were too tired to walk. D．They wanted to take photos of the forest. 3．What was wrong with the spaceship? A．It had no fuel left. B．It was damaged because of a crash. C．It lost its way in the forest. D．It couldn’t find the aliens. 4．What can we infer from the story? A．The aliens were friendly to the children. B．The children made up the whole story. C．The “aliens” might actually be humans from Earth. D．The spaceship came from Mars. ①China is sharing its MAZU weather warning system with more countries. This system helps poor countries deal with bad weather like storms and floods. The MAZU system gets its name from Mazu, an ancient Chinese sea goddess who protects fishermen. It mixes old culture with new weather tools like AI. ②Chen Zhenlin, head of China’s weather service, said the MAZU system has got a lot of attention since it came out last year. It is China’s answer to the UN’s “Early Warnings for All” project. Bad weather can hurt food production and energy supply (能源供应). It can even harm the world’s factories and trade chains. The weather warning system helps keep the economy safe and people healthy. ③The system has grown from a China-only program into a global public one. Since 2024, about 1,000 people from over 100 poor countries have come to China to learn about weather warning technology. More than 40 countries are already using MAZU’s services. ④Moreover, it is made to meet each country’s needs. Seven countries, including Pakistan, Ethiopia and Sri Lanka, have got special versions (版本) of the system that fit their own needs. Chinese and foreign experts work together to build online tools that work well at the local level. ▲ ⑤During the 2026-2030 period, China will keep making the MAZU system better. It will use more AI and better tools to make the system more accurate and convenient to use. ⑥The system also shares ideas by inviting foreign experts to China and sending Chinese experts abroad in the future. This way of working helps other countries learn how to help themselves. China will also run more training programs and work more closely with international partners. 1．Why is the weather warning system called “MAZU”? A．Because it works best at sea. B．Because it was built by a goddess. C．Because it is named after a sea goddess. D．Because it was first used in a place called Mazu. 2．Which of the following can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A．So China has decided to stop the program. B．But the system is too expensive for poor countries. C．However, many countries still cannot use the system.

(① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, ... ) A． B． C． D． 进阶拓展训练5篇 Humans have been keeping pets, such as dogs and cats, for ages. But now, artificial intelligence (AI) is changing this tradition by creating robot “pets”, which look and act differently from real animals. These “pets” are changing the way people live, work, and play across China. Recently, a video of a woman walking a robotic dog in Shanghai became popular online, amazing millions on Weibo. They called it “a scene from the future”. Another popular video showed a robotic dog carrying a real puppy (小狗) on its back in Chengdu, attracting crowds. On shopping sites like Taobao, the Go2 quadruped (四足的) robot from Unitree Robotics has sold over 3,000 units. Buyers shared photos of the robots playing with children or performing in parks. One parent shared, “Though it looks different from the real dogs, my child loves it so much that we take it out almost every week to have fun—it’s like his best friend!” Robot pets are becoming silent partners in China’s modern life. At a Chongqing marathon, they danced like lions and joined 35,000 human runners. In Zhejiang, one even acted in a traditional opera show, amazing the audience with difficult performances. ________ In Hangzhou, a robot dog named “Xiao Xi” sends medicine to elderly people. In Shandong, they carry heavy goods in Mount Tai. In Qingdao, robot dogs help firefighters by searching dangerous areas. In Beijing, they patrol (巡逻) the streets and attract attention. As robots play a bigger role in our lives, China’s robot market is growing fast. A report shows it was worth 468 million yuan in 2023 and may reach 4.8 billion yuan by 2030. The government also supports this growth and promises to support more AI inventions, including smarter robots, AI-enabled phones and computers, and intelligent robots. 1．How does the writer make us know that robot pets are popular in Paragraph 2?

A．However, these robots are only used for entertainment (娱乐) B．Besides fun, these robots are also helping in public services. C．In fact, robots are not popular in China. D．These robots are mainly designed for children. 4．Why does the government support AI robots according to the text? A．To compete with other countries. B．To reduce the number of real pets. C．To take the place of human workers. D．To make people’s lives more convenient. 5．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①/②/③④⑤ C．①/②③/④⑤ D．①②/③④⑤ You may hear “volunteers” many times. You may also see them on the road, in a community centre, or at the hospital. Then what is a volunteer? Volunteers are people who do a job without being paid. They are the people who are looking for the satisfaction (满足感) of helping others. Volunteers do many different kinds of jobs. Some volunteers read books onto tapes (磁带) so that people with eye problems can hear. Some volunteers send meals to the old or sick people. Some volunteers help visitors when they don’t know the way or when they have some other problems. Volunteers help when a natural disaster (自然灾害) hits a community. Volunteers help put out bush fires (林区大火). They may help people leave the areas quickly when there is an earthquake, a tsunami (海啸）or a flood. They may also help people rebuild their homes after the disasters. A community may not recover without the help of volunteers. Some communities need volunteers more than others. If the communities don’t have much money they will need a lot of help from volunteers. For example, communities with lots of old people may need more help from volunteers than communities with more young people. Volunteers can help the old do the cleaning, do the shopping or just talk with them. Without volunteers some communities even couldn’t work. Volunteers have done a lot for society. And they help improve people’s lives. So would you like to be a volunteer in the future? 1．According to the passage, who is volunteering? A． B． C． D． 2．Lingling is a student.

It combines (融合) great stories, new technology and Chinese culture. A recent survey of 7,232 university students shows that over 40% often watch Chinese animations, and about 30% look for new ones every week. This growing interest can be seen in the success of films like Ne Zha 2, which became one of the top 5 movies at the global box office (全球票房)! What makes Chinese animations special? Most students say it’s the mix of traditional culture and modern technology. Over 80% of the students think this is the key reason for their interest. For example, Chang’an used smart technology to show beautiful scenes and poems in the Tang Dynasty. Ne Zha 2 told a classic myth (神话) in a modern way, showing that technology should finally serve cultural expression. “I believe Chinese animation can succeed,” says Huang Ziyi, a student of Wuhan University. “While Japanese animations focus on love stories and American animations focus on heroes, we have our own cultural stories that connect with people everywhere.” With better technology and rich cultural stories, Chinese animation is finding its place in the world. 1．What can we know from the survey? A．Making animations costs less now. B．Few students like Chinese animations. C．Young people like Chinese animations. D．Everybody enjoys watching Ne Zha 2. 2．Why does the writer talk about Ne Zha 2 and Chang’an? A．To show successful examples. B．To list popular animations. C．To explain AI in animations. D．To compare different animations. 3．Huang Ziyi believes the advantage of the Chinese animation is its ________. A．cultural stories B．cool technology C．love stories D．brave heroes 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Animations Around the World B．The Rise of Chinese Animations C．Growing Interests of Animations D．The Future of  Global Animations China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also talk with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always prepare more food than the guests can eat. At the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that some Chinese hosts like to pick up food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables. The Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl. Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago: To meet friends from afar, how happy we are! 1．What does the underlined word “hospitable” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Welcoming. B．Hard-working. C．Creative. D．Nervous. 2．What will the host probably do for you when you visit a Chinese family? ①Make tea.  ②Prepare a meal.  ③Serve some snacks.  ④Have a party.

It tells the story of Xu Xiujuan, a girl who gave her life to protect these rare birds. Xiujuan was born in 1964 in Zhalong, Heilongjiang. Her father worked at a local nature reserve, looking after red-crowned cranes. These tall, slim-necked birds are symbols of luck and loyalty, but they are now among the rarest crane species in the world. Xiujuan loved birds and started helping her father at 17. She became very good at taking care of them and even hatched her first crane eggs as a teenager. At 21, Xiujuan got a job at a nature reserve in Yancheng, Jiangsu. She carefully took three crane eggs with her on the long trip, making sure they stayed warm and safe. She worked hard there, caring for cranes, swans, and other birds. When a bird got sick, she would stay with it day and night until it could fly again. In 1987, two swans went missing. Xiujuan searched for them for two days and nights. She swam in the wetlands, hungry and thirsty, until she was too tired to return to the shore. She lost her life at just 23. Later, the song was written in memory of her courage and dedication. Today, China has set up many nature reserves to protect red-crowned cranes. Thanks to people like Xu Xiujuan, these beautiful birds have a better chance to survive. 1．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell us about the red-crowned crane’s living habits. B．To introduce Xu Xiujuan and her story of protecting red-crowned cranes. C．To explain why red-crowned cranes are in danger. D．To describe the work of nature reserves in China. 2．When did Xu Xiujuan start helping her father take care of cranes? A．In 1964. B．At the age of 17. C．At the age of 21. D．In 1987. 3．Why did Xu Xiujuan lose her life? A．She was attacked by a sick swan. B．She fell ill while taking care of crane eggs. C．She got too tired searching for missing swans in the wetlands. D．She was punished for taking crane eggs to another reserve. 4．Which of the following is NOT true about red-crowned cranes according to the passage? A．They are symbols of luck and loyalty in China. B．They are among the rarest crane species in the world. C．They live in wetlands and feed there. D．They are no longer endangered thanks to people like Xu Xiujuan. Chinese scientists have developed a robotic antelope (羚羊) to watch over wild Tibetan antelopes-a species listed as “near endangered”. The robot, has successfully joined real antelope groups in nature. For many years, Tibetan antelopes were in serious danger. They were hunted for their soft fur, which is used to make expensive shawls (披肩). As a result, their population dropped greatly from one million to 65, 000 in the 1990s.  Thanks to strong protection effort, the number is now rising again. However, it is still difficult for scientists to study them closely. The antelopes live in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve (保护区), which is over 4,600 meters above sea level with cold and little oxygen. Also, the antelopes are very sensitive-they run away from humans 500—800 meters away. Traditional tools like telescopes cannot get close enough, and drones often scare the animals. So the robotic antelope was invented to solve these problems. Not long ago, the robot was recently tested near Zonag Lake where female antelopes go every summer to give birth. Unlike human scientists carrying cameras, the robotic antelope had a small hidden camera under its eyes. It looks just like a real antelope, sharing the same fur colour and body shape, so it doesn’t scare the animals. At first, the real antelopes seemed curious about the newcomer. But soon, it was accepted into the group to walk with the real antelopes and recorded videos. The robot uses artificial intelligence (AI), which allows it to “learn” as it moves. During the test, it successfully travelled 2 kilometers across challenging ground, like slopes (斜坡) and muddy wetlands, collecting valuable videos and data. Scientists believe this robotics technology can provide important information to support the protection of Tibetan antelopes, especially during birth and migration seasons, with very little human interference (干扰). 1．What was the population of Tibetan antelopes in the 1990s? A．1,000,000. B．65,000. C．4,600. D．500—800. 2．The word “sensitive” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．casy to be scared or affected B．very friendly to humans C．difficult to see at night D．slow in moving. 3．Why didn’t the robotic antelope scare real antelopes? A．Because it moves very quickly. B．Because it works only at night. C．Because it makes friendly sounds. D．Because it looks like a real antelope. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．It explains why Tibetan antelopes were in danger. B．It discusses the importance of protecting Tibetan wild antelopes. C．It reports how scientists use a robotic antelope to protect wild antelopes. D．It compares the differences between real antelopes and robotic antelope. Exercise isn’t just good for our bodies. It can also benefit brains (大脑). In a new study, scientists found that exercise can improve students’ focus at school. Scientists from the University of North Carolina did the study with 25 students aged 9 to 12. The children did simple but high-intensity (高强度的) exercises like jumping jacks and squats. Each exercise lasted 30 seconds, with a 30-second rest in between. They exercised for 9 minutes in total. After the exercises, the scientists asked the students to take tests on the computer. Many of these tests focused on reading or other language skills. The scientists wanted to see if the high-intensity exercises would affect (影响) the test results. So, they also had the students take tests after doing low-intensity exercises (like riding a bike) and after watching a video. The result was interesting. The students did best in the language tests right after the high-intensity exercises. The scientists watched the students’ brain activity, too. They found that the high-intensity exercises changed a type of brain response (反应). Usually, negative (消极的) response happens when people realized they made a mistake. In the tests after the exercises, the students noticed their mistakes but didn’t spend too much time thinking about them. Instead (相反), they moved on quickly and focused on the rest of the tests. “Physical activity is great for kids’ brain health and schoolwork,” one scientist said. It’s good that students can do these exercises in the classroom. So a short exercise rest might be just what students need to do better in class! 根据材料内容，选择正确答案。 1．How long did the students do high-intensity exercises in the study? A．For 25 seconds. B．For 30 seconds. C．For 9 minutes. D．For 12 minutes. 2．Which activity helped the students do best in the language tests? A．Reading short stories. B．Riding a bike. C．Watching a funny video. D．Doing jumping jacks and squats. 3．After the high-intensity exercises, how did the students act when they noticed their mistakes in the tests? A．They did the tests a little slower. B．They began worrying more about the tests. C．They spent a lot of time finding out the reasons. D．They quickly turned their attention back to the tests. 4．What’s the right structure of the passage? A．①②/③④/⑤. B．①/②③④/⑤. C．①②/③/④⑤. D．①/②③④⑤. 5．Why did the writer write the text? A．To encourage students to exercise more. B．To explain changes in brain activity during exercise. C．To compare different ways of improving language skills. D．To tell that exercise is good for students’ physical health. Imagine living in a place where people have no written or spoken language. This is the reality for some tribal (部落的) people in Africa. Take the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert for example. They do not have a written language. Instead, they use a rich system of hand gestures to express their ideas. When a Bushman wants to say “come here”, he waves his hand toward himself with the palm facing down. If he waves with the palm up, it means “go away”. Another tribe, the Hadza people in Tanzania, use gestures to hunt together. When they see an animal, they point with their whole hand instead of one finger. This is because pointing with one finger is considered impolite. They believe it brings bad luck. These African gestures are not just simple signals. They are complete ways of communicating. A person can tell a whole story only with his hands. Some researchers believe that studying these gestures can help us understand how human language first began. So the next time you wave your hand to a friend, remember—you are taking part in one of the oldest forms of human communication. 1．How does the writer introduce the topic of this passage? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a personal story. C．By giving an example. D．By comparing two cultures. 2．How many African tribes are mentioned in this passage? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 3．What does the writer mean by “complete ways of communicating” in Paragraph 4? A．These gestures are very difficult to learn. B．These gestures have a short history. C．These gestures are only used by old people. D．These gestures can express full meanings. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To teach readers how to use African gestures. B．To explain why some tribes have no language. C．To introduce a special way of communication in Africa. D．To prove that gestures are better than spoken language. [The following is an excerpt from Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro. The novel talks about an AI “Friend” Klara who believes the Sun can heal her fellow AF friend Rosa.] When we were new, Rosa and I stayed in the middle of the store, near the magazine table. From there we could see part of the window and watch the outside world—people passing by, taxis, tourists, Beggar Man and his dog, and the lower part of the RPO Building. Later, after we got used to the store, Manager let us walk to the front behind the shop window. From there we could see how tall the RPO Building was. And if we were there at just the right time, we would see the Sun crossing between the buildings. When I was lucky enough to see him, I’d move my face forward to take in as much of his nourishment (滋养) as I could, and if Rosa was with me, I’d tell her to do the same. After a minute or two, we’d have to return to our places and when we were new, we worried that because we couldn’t see the Sun from the middle of the store, we’d grow weaker. Boy AF (AI Friend) Rex, who was next to us, told us not to worry. He pointed to the floor and said, “That’s the Sun’s pattern(图案) right there. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again. If you’re worried, you can just touch it and get strong again.” There were no customers then. Manager was busy, and I didn’t want to bother her. So I took a quick look at Rosa. When she looked back with no expression(表情), I stepped forward, bent down and reached out to touch the Sun’s pattern . But as soon as I touched it, the pattern was gone. I tried everything—patting (拍打) the spot, rubbing (摩擦) the floor—but it wouldn’t come back. When I stood up, Rex said, “Klara, that was greedy (贪婪的). You took all the nourishment for yourself. Look, it’s almost dark.” “I’m sorry,” I said. “I didn’t mean to.” “Because of you,” Rex said, “I’ ll become weak by evening.” “You’ re joking,” I said. “I’m not. I could get sick right now. And those AFs in the back? They’re already not well. They’ll get worse now. You were greedy, Klara.” “I don’t believe you,” I said, but I was no longer sure. I looked at Rosa—her face was still blank. “I’m feeling sick already,” Rex said. “But you just said the Sun always reaches us. You’re joking.” In the end, I made myself believe Rex was joking with me. But I sensed I had made him bring up something uncomfortable—something most AFs preferred not to talk about. Not long after, that thing happened to Rex. It made me think that even if he had been joking that day, part of him had been serious too. 1．What did Boy AF Rex tell Klara to do when she worried about growing weaker? A．To ask the Manager for a new place. B．To stay in the middle of the store. C．To touch the Sun's pattern on the floor. D．To move to the front of the window 2．Why did Klara decide to touch the Sun’s pattern on the floor? A．Because she wondered if Rex was right. B．Because Rosa asked her to do it. C．Because Manager told her to do it. D．Because she wanted to play a trick on Rex. 3．How did Klara feel after the Sun’s pattern disappeared(消失)? A．Confident and brave. B．Nervous and sorry. C．Angry and sad. D．Bored and uninterested. 4．What does the underlined word “blank” most likely mean? A．excited B．empty C．angry D．cheerful 5．What does the sentence suggest about “that thing” that happened to Rex? A．It was a lucky event that Rex had been hoping for. B．It was a rare problem that few AFs experienced. C．It was connected with the unspoken fear of weakness that AFs shared. D．It was a direct (直接的) result of Klara taking the Sun’s nourishment for herself. 2 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 1 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
