【导语】本文讲述作者小时候常和父亲爬山,在爬山途中父亲教会他人生道理的故事,告诉我们人生如同登山,唯有坚持登顶才能看见美好,要心怀希望与自信。
1.句意:我们边走边聊,我学到了许多人生道理。
空后接宾语“many lessons”,主语“I ”是“被父亲教会道理”,需用一般过去时被动语态was taught。taught主动语态主语应是父亲,am taught是一般现在时,时态不符,均不选。
2.句意:如果没有爬山这件事,我们根本没有足够时间相伴,因为父亲总是忙于工作。
根据上下文逻辑,爬山是父子相处的契机,Without 表示“倘若没有”。With“伴随”、For“为了”代入逻辑不通,排除。
3.句意:如果没有爬山这件事,我们根本没有足够时间相伴,因为父亲总是忙于工作。
“because”引导原因状语从句,从句缺少主语,指代父亲,用人称代词主格he。him宾格只能作宾语,his是形容词性物主代词后接名词,均不适用。
4.句意:爬山给了我和父亲谈心、深度思考的机会,还磨炼了我的耐心。
形容词性物主代词“my”后必须接名词;patience是抽象名词“耐心”。patient是形容词“有耐心的”,patiently 是副词,词性不符排除。
5.句意:有一次我们爬了一座很高的山。
“mountain”为单数可数名词,此处第一次泛指一座高山,very辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。an用于元音音素开头单词前,the表特指,不符合语境。
6.句意:这对我来说很有挑战性,因为我只有十岁。
后半句是“很有挑战性”的原因,用because引导原因状语从句。although表让步“虽然”,so表结果“因此”,逻辑不匹配。
7.句意:爬山最初的几小时里,我欣赏着澄澈的天空、花草与鸟鸣。
全文讲述儿时往事,整体为一般过去时态,用enjoyed。enjoy一般现在时,have enjoyed现在完成时,时态不匹配。
8.句意:我的双腿酸痛,我想要放弃爬山。
固定搭配give up doing sth.意为“放弃做某事”,后接动名词climbing。climb动词原形、to climb动词不定式均不符合搭配规则。
9.句意:在山顶你总能看见比以往更美的天空,但不登顶就无缘看见。
句中出现比较级标志词“than ever”,必须使用形容词比较级more beautiful。beautiful原级、most beautiful最高级不能和than连用。
10.句意那时我年纪太小,没能理解他话语里的深意。
understand后接宾语从句,从句“he meant”缺少宾语,what指代“他所说的道理、含义”,符合语境。when表时间,why表原因,无法在从句中充当宾语。

三、阅读理解
Nature has many ways to solve problems. We humans learn a lot from animals and plants in nature. There is a science that focuses on copying great ideas from animals and plants to create useful products. It is called biomimetics.
Some animals such as this sugar glider have wing-like skin to help them fly from tree to tree. When they jump, they spread out their arms and legs to help them fly down easily. Wing-suits, a kind of clothes, can let people experience flying. The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider.
Plants have helped people come up with amazing inventions, too. Velcro (尼龙搭扣) is one example. It includes two pieces of cloth. They stick to each other when they are pressed together. Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes. The idea of Velcro is from burrs (带芒刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people’s clothing or hair. They are taken to other places in this way.
From these examples, ________. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see!
1.What does the underlined word “biomimetics” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.A kind of sport. B.A kind of subject.
C.A kind of product. D.A kind of science.
2.Why can wing-suits help people experience flying?
A.Because they have wing-like shapes.
B.Because they are made of special cloth.

【导语】本文主要介绍了仿生学的概念,并通过几个例子说明了人类如何从动植物中获取灵感,创造出有用的产品。
1.第一段定义:“There is a science that focuses on copying great ideas from animals and plants to create useful products. It is called biomimetics.” ,说明“仿生学”是一门专注于模仿动植物的创意来创造实用产品的科学。
2.第二段指出:“Some animals such as this sugar glider have wing-like skin to help them fly from tree to tree...The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider.” ,这说明糖飞鼠依靠“翅膀状的皮肤”滑翔,因此其能让人体验飞行的核心原因是拥有类似翅膀的形状。
3.第三段指出:“Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes…They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people’s clothing or hair.”,原文明确说明尼龙搭扣的灵感来源于一种带芒刺的小果实,这类果实有着特殊的结构,能够粘在人们的衣服或头发上。选项 D中的图片为魔术贴,属于使用尼龙搭扣的生活用品。
4.根据前后文表述,前文以糖飞鼠启发翼装飞行服、带刺的小果实启发尼龙搭扣为例,展示了仿生学的应用,后文以问句引出未来展望,因此空白处需对前文进行总结。选项D“仿生学将自然界的创意转化为发明”精准概括了全文核心逻辑,承接前文例子,引出后文展望。
5.开篇介绍自然界是灵感来源,定义仿生学;中间分别以动物和植物为例说明仿生学的应用;结尾展望仿生学的未来,核心主题是“自然界”与“仿生学”的关系,选项A“Nature and Biomimetics”可作为文章的最佳标题。
Imagine that a cool bamboo-like grass can be used to make green energy. Scientists at Landuo Biotech, a business in Wuhan, have created one such plant recently. They name it “super giant reed” (超级芦竹) .
Since 2012, the Landuo team have collected over 1,000 wild giant reeds for experiments. As a result, more than 40 varieties of super giant reed have been “born”. In the Landuo’s factory, hundreds of young reeds are grown in glass bottles. Fully grown, super giant reeds are cut and put in a special place without O₂. The Landuo team heat them up to make natural gas, which can then be used for energy.
Thanks to the scientists’ efforts, super giant reed has a biomass (生物量) three times that of wild giant reed. A kilogram of super giant reed also has 4,000 to 4,500 kilocalories (千卡) of energy. So, super giant reed is a great choice for taking the place of fossil fuels (化石燃料) .
What’s more, growing super giant reed helps a lot. Planting 13,000 hectares of it can produce 0.45 to 1.5 million tons of fuel a year. 40 million hectares of super giant reed can be used instead of 2.2 billion (1 billion=1,000 million) tons of coal and can cut CO₂ emissions (排放) by 4 billion tons in China every year.
Super giant reed is also well-suited for growing on some land like beaches wetlands and salty lands. Once a reed is planted, it can be cut and used many times during the next 15 to 20 years. By the end of 2024, over 3,300 hectares of super giant reed had been planted across 53 areas in China.
At present, China is developing this new energy source—super giant reed and we hope that it can help to make our planet cleaner and cleaner.
1.What is the right order according to paragraph 2?
a. The super giant reeds are cut by the Landuo team.
b. The super giant reeds are heated up to make natural gas.
c. The Landuo team grow lots of young super giant reeds in glass bottles.
d. The Landuo team put the super giant reeds in a special place without O₂.
A.a-b-c-d B.b-a-c-d C.c-b-d-a D.c-a-d-b
2.How many kilocalories of energy does a kilogram of wild giant reed probably produce?
A.1,300 to 1,500. B.2,300 to 3,500.
C.4,000 to 4,500. D.5,000 to 5,500.
3.How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 4?
A.By listing numbers. B.By telling stories.
C.By asking questions. D.By giving suggestions.
4.In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text?
A.People. B.Science. C.Sports. D.Travel.
5.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Fossil Fuels B.CO2 Emissions
C.Wild Giant Reed D.Super Giant Reed
【答案】1.D 2.A 3.A 4.B 5.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍武汉企业研发的超级芦竹,讲述它的培育制气流程、高生物量与环保优势、种植适配性,说明它是新型绿色清洁能源。
1.第二段内容可知,流程顺序为:首先在玻璃瓶中种植年轻芦苇(c. grown in glass bottles);长大后收割(a. are cut);放入无氧特殊环境(d. put in a special place without O₂);最后加热制造天然气(b. heat them up)。故正确顺序为c-a-d-b。
2.第三自然段“super giant reed has a biomass three times that of wild giant reed. A kilogram of super giant reed also has 4,000 to 4,500 kilocalories”,超级芦竹能量是野生三倍,4000–4500÷3≈1300-1500千卡。
3.第四段中出现了大量具体数据,如“13,000 hectares”、“0.45 to 1.5 million tons”、“2.2 billion tons”等。作者通过列举数字(By listing numbers)来具体说明种植超级芦竹的巨大效益。
4.通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了生物技术公司研发的新型绿色能源植物“超级芦竹”,涉及科学研究、能源生产及环保效益,属于科学范畴。因此最可能出现在报纸的“科学”版块。
5.全文围绕“super giant reed”的发现、培育、能源价值、环境效益及推广情况展开,该词是文章的核心主题。因此“Super Giant Reed”是最合适的标题。

Athletes at the Olympics hope to win medals, but there’s another shiny object they love: Olympic pins (徽章)! These small pins are popular among athletes and fans. They enjoy showing their pins off and trading them with others.
The tradition of Olympic pins started at the first modern Olympics in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then, some Greek athletes received a special handmade pin. It was round, covered in cloth, and had a white cross on a blue background.
Today, Olympic pins come in many styles, and many pins are symbols of a country’s culture. For instance, the Netherlands pin, which was highly sought after at the 2024 Olympic Games, has tiny orange shoes—a famous symbol of the country. Some athletes even create their own pins, like American gymnast (体操运动员) Simone Biles, who gave out heart-shaped pins with her name in the center.
Collecting and trading pins has become very popular. For example, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, British athletes and Team Spain traded pins by throwing them across the Seine River. Later in the Games, Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei proudly wore a lanyard (颈带) full of pins along with her six medals.
Pin trading is so popular that some call it the “unofficial sport of the Olympics”. Collectors and fans cover their shirts, lanyards, and hats with colorful pins. These pins remind them of the Games, and trading them can be a very meaningful experience—it helps people start conversations and make new friends. It’s another way the Olympics bring together people from all around the world! How amazing it is!

How often do you remember to tell people how much you like or admire them? For many people, it’s not often enough.
There are several reasons why we don’t let others know about our positive feelings towards them. I’ve heard excuses like, “They don’t need to hear me say that—they already know,” and “I do admire her, but I am too uncomfortable to say anything.” Whatever our reasons for not giving praise are, it’s time for a change.
When I ask someone if he enjoys being praised, the answer nine times out of ten is “I love it”. Many people spend their whole lifetime wishing that other people would acknowledge (认可) them. They feel this especially about their parents, children and friends. Even praise from strangers makes them feel good about themselves.
Letting someone know the praise also makes the person offering it feel good. It’s an act of kindness. The other day, I was in a shop and saw something unimaginable. The checkout (收银) girl had just been scolded (责骂) by an angry customer—clearly without a good cause. But the girl controlled the anger by staying calm. When it was my turn to pay, I said to her “ ” She looked at me with a smile and said, “Thank you. Do you know you are the first person to praise me in this shop?” It took less than two seconds to let her know, but it was a highlight of her day, and of mine.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A.Suggestions on praising others.
B.Ways to share feelings.
C.Excuses for speaking ill of others.
D.Reasons for not giving praise.
2.What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.They wonder if they enjoy being praised.
B.They hope to be praised and acknowledged.
C.They make others feel good about themselves.
D.They want to acknowledge others to spread love.
3.Which of the following sentences can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4?
A.How did you stay calm?
B.I think you’d better control yourself.
C.The way you treated that customer is nice.
D.You shouldn’t treat the customer that way.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.People usually love giving others praise.
B.Both the writer and the checkout girl felt good.
C.The last customer said sorry to the checkout girl.
D.Praise from strangers makes people uncomfortable.
5.What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To advise us to learn from the checkout girl.
B.To tell us we should try to praise others often.
C.To show what kind of people especially need praise.
D.To explain why we have positive feelings towards others.
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.C 4.B 5.B
【导语】本文指出人们常吝于赞美他人的现象,分析了背后的原因,并通过亲身经历说明赞美能同时温暖对方和自己,呼吁我们多向他人表达欣赏与认可。
1.第二段首句明确指出“There are several reasons why we don’t let others know about our positive feelings towards them”,随后列举了具体的借口,可知该段主要讲述的是不给予赞美的原因。
2.代词“this”通常指代前文提到的内容。前一句说“Many people spend their whole lifetime wishing that other people would acknowledge them”,可知“this”指代的是希望被认可和赞美的愿望。
3.根据上下文,作者看到收银员被无理责骂后保持冷静,决定给予她赞美,且收银员回应说这是今天第一个赞美她的人。选项C“你对待那位顾客的方式很好”属于赞美话语,符合语境。

Lacquer (漆器) art is a form of traditional art in China. It uses lacquer to paint on the surface of wares (器皿) or artworks. Lacquer comes from lacquer trees as a natural liquid. When you use lacquer for painting, it can stop wares from going bad. It can also help against high temperatures. If you heat the lacquer and add colors, it becomes colorful. The lacquerware looks exquisite and it is also useful.
China was the first country to use lacquer. People started using it in the Neolithic Period. By the Xia Dynasty, lacquerware became part of everyday life. In ancient times, there were many lacquer trees in China. The famous thinker Zhuangzi took care of a lacquer tree garden during the Warring States Period.
Early lacquerware was simple. It was made from wood or bamboo and painted with lacquer. Over time, new skills like colored patterns and gold decorations (装饰品) appeared. Different dynasties had their own styles of lacquerware. In the Han Dynasty, popular lacquer items included boxes, plates, earrings, masks and so on. They were mostly red and black. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, lacquerware making reached a new high. Lacquer techniques mixed with building and furniture making. And people paid more attention to the looks.
Today, the main places for making lacquerware are Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Pingyao in Shanxi Province, Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, Dafang in Guizhou Province, Tianshui in Gansu Province, Yichun in Jiangxi Province, and Fengxiang in Shaanxi Province.

Every spring and autumn, the sky becomes a busy highway. Millions of birds travel thousands of miles between their summer and winter homes. This amazing journey is called migration (迁徙). Recently, many big cities in China, like Beijing, Shenzhen and Chengdu, have decided to turn down their lights at night during migration season.
About 80% of migratory birds fly at night and rest during the day. Night flight offers star navigation (导航), cooler temperatures, and fewer natural enemies. However, city lights are making their journeys dangerous.
Light Domes: Bright city lights create “light domes” that hide the stars. When sky brightness is 10 times higher than natural background level, birds’ ability to find the way drops by over 30%.
The Harm of Blue Light: Birds have a special protein called cryptochrome (隐花色素). It allows them to sense the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场), but this system only works in natural dim light. Man-made light, especially blue light (400-500nm), destroys this sensing ability. ▲ Without this magnetic sense, birds lose their way completely.
Avoiding Light Traps: Birds can be attracted by bright lights from 5 kilometers away. They often circle the light until they are too tired to fly or hit buildings. Studies show that once lights are turned down, birds can usually recover their sense of direction (方向感) within minutes.
Protecting Biological Clock: Light pollution strongly reduces the production of melatonin (褪黑素). This harms the energy storage they need for long-distance flights. Parks and wetlands are “energy stations” for birds. Light pollution makes these areas stressful for birds, preventing them from resting properly. Turning down the lights is not just for birds, but for a better balance between humans and nature.
1.When do most birds choose to fly?
A.In the morning. B.At noon.
C.In the afternoon. D.At night.
2.The underlined phrase “light domes” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A.the dark sky with few stars B.homes for migratory birds
C.bright light areas over cities D.natural energy stations for birds
3.What happens to birds after the city lights are turned down?
A.They may crash into buildings finally.
B.They can get their sense of direction back soon.
C.They will produce more cryptochrome.
D.They will stop flying and look for energy.
4.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A.So birds can rest better at night.
B.Then birds will fly toward bright city lights.
C.This helps birds store more energy for long flights.
D.So they will lose their ability to sense the magnetic field.
5.What is the main purpose of the writer writing this passage?
A.To tell us how far migratory birds travel every year.
B.To explain the dangers of light pollution to migratory birds.
C.To introduce how birds navigate during the day.
D.To encourage people to build more parks for birds.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了候鸟迁徙期间夜间飞行所面临的灯光污染问题。文章说明了城市灯光如何通过形成“光穹”、破坏磁场感知能力、制造光陷阱以及影响生物钟等方式危害候鸟,并介绍了中国部分城市在迁徙季节调暗灯光这一保护措施。
1.第二段第一句“About 80% of migratory birds fly at night and rest during the day.” 明确指出大多数候鸟选择在夜间飞行。
2.第三段“Bright city lights create ‘light domes’ that hide the stars.” 可知,明亮的城市灯光产生了隐藏星星的“光穹”,“light domes”指的是城市上空的明亮光区,它们遮盖了星光。
3.第五段最后一句“Studies show that once lights are turned down, birds can usually recover their sense of direction within minutes.” 说明调暗灯光后,鸟类能在几分钟内恢复方向感。
4.第四段主要讲述蓝光破坏鸟类感知磁场的能力。空前指出人造光破坏了这种感知能力,空后指出“没有这种磁感应,鸟儿会完全迷路”。D选项“所以它们将失去感知磁场的能力”承上启下,符合段落逻辑。
5.通读全文可知,文章详细介绍了城市灯光(光污染)如何影响候鸟的导航、能量储备及飞行安全,旨在说明光污染对候鸟迁徙造成的危害。
Did you feel like yesterday passed a little faster? You might be correct. July 10th, 2025, was among the shortest days of the year—about 1.3 milliseconds shorter than a normal 24-hour day.
A day has 24 hours (or 86,400,000 milliseconds), the average time Earth takes to rotate (转动) once. ________ Some are a bit longer, others shorter.
For most of history, the rotation of the Earth has been used to measure time. But in the 1950s, scientists created special clocks to measure these “fast” or “slow” days. Recent years have seen many days shorter than 86,400,000 milliseconds: July 5, 2022, holds the record (1.65 milliseconds faster), followed by July 9, 2024 (1.36 milliseconds faster) and July 29, 2024 (1.34 milliseconds faster).
For over 50 years, the shortest days of each year fall in June, July, or August, while the longest usually appear between March and May (sometimes October or November). There are many reasons to influence the speed of the Earth’s rotation. And the most important one is the pull of gravity (引力) from the moon.
Though Earth has had fast days lately, over millions of years it has been slowing down: a day today is 1.7 milliseconds longer than a day a century ago, and on average, the day has been getting 2.3 milliseconds longer per century for thousands of years.
Whether today is shorter or longer, these seemingly tiny time changes are reshaping our understanding of what a “day” is.
So, if today is one of the shortest days of the year, have you made this special day meaningful for yourself?
1.Which of the following sentence can be put in ________?
A.The earth rotates around the sun.
B.Its rotation is why we have day and night.
C.However, not every day is exactly the same.
D.People recorded the time with different tools.
2.What does the underlined word “measure” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Tell the length of. B.Make use of.
C.Take back. D.Catch up on.
3.Which of the following picture show the correct length of day (LOD) in a year?
A. B.
C. D.
4.What does the writer want the readers to do in the last paragraph?
A.Buy a new clock. B.Value the special day.
C.List meaningful activities. D.Explain the earth’s rotation.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How Do We Tell the Time? B.Does Moon Control Days?
C.Are Days Getting Shorter? D.What Changes the Length of Day?
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.A 4.B 5.C
【导语】本文主要讲述地球自转速度并非恒定不变,有些日子略长于24小时,有些则略短,2025年7月10日是其中一个较短的例子。
1.第二段空处前一句说“一天是地球自转一圈的平均时间”,后一句说“有些日子稍长,有些稍短”,中间的句子需要起到转折或补充说明的作用,引出“并非每天都是一样的”。C项“然而,并非每一天都完全相同。”承接前文,引出后文。
2.第三段第二句“scientists created special clocks to measure these ‘fast’ or ‘slow’ days.”,科学家发明了特殊的钟表来对快或慢的日子做measure这个动作,钟表的核心功能就是“计量、测定时间的长短”。所以measure在这里和A选项“测定……的长度(或时长)”同义。
3.第四段首句“...the shortest days of each year fall in June, July, or August, while the longest usually appear between March and May (sometimes October or November).”,最短的日子出现在 6、7、8 月,最长的出现在3-5月。曲线的路径应该是往下走的趋势,只有选项A的图片符合这种趋势。
4.最后一段“So, if today is one of the shortest days of the year, have you made this special day meaningful for yourself?”,如果今天是一年中最短的日子之一,你有没有让这个特别的日子变得有意义?由此可知,作者希望读者能“珍惜这个特别的日子”。
5.通读全文,用“7月10日是今年最短的日子之一”引出话题,主体部分说明一天的长度并非固定不变,有长有短,最后一段以“如果今天是最短的日子之一,你有没有让它过得有意义”收尾,整个文章从现象到思考都围绕“日子是否在变短”这一疑问展开。因此最适合作最佳标题。
Who grows our food? The question seems simple, but food often travels across many countries before reaching our plates. Today, only one in seven countries can produce enough food for their people. So we need to know clearly who really grows food for the world.
Many people believe that big farms with modern machines keep the world fed. But a study of 198 countries shows us a distinct fact: small farms, usually very small in size, provide most of our daily food.
In Australia, small farms are less than 1 percent of all farms but supply (供应) 15 percent of the country’s food. Small farms produce a much larger share of the nation’s food than their farm count would suggest. In 46 countries, small farms are the main food providers, meeting the daily food needs of 5 billion people around the world.
However, ▲ They often face unstable (不稳定的) land rights, climate risks, and unfair trade rules. These problems do not just stay in one country; they spread to other nations. If small farmers lose their land or income (收入), food shortage will influence all of us.
Protecting food production from small farms requires not only national efforts to support farmers, but also global rules to make sure they have their own land and can sell their products easily. Now that we know who grows our food, we must think highly of them and make good policies for them, both at home and around the world.
1.The fact that few countries grow enough food is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show ________
A.What small farms can bring to the world.
B.How food travels from country to country.
C.How powerful big farms are in rich countries.
D.Why it’s important to know who grows food worldwide.
2.What does the underlined word “distinct” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Famous. B.Boring. C.Different. D.Painful.
3.Which of the following shows the relationship between farm size and food supply?
(x: farm size, y: food supply (%))
A. B. C. D.
4.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A.big farms have fewer problems to solve.
B.many people don’t respect small farmers.
C.small farm owners have many difficulties.
D.food travels across many countries quickly.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Food Shortage in Rich Countries B.Small Farms Grow Our Food
C.Ways to Increase Food Production D.Global Trade Rules for Farmers
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文介绍了全球粮食供应的主要来源——小农场,并指出小农场主面临的困难以及保护小农场的重要性。
1.第一段指出:“Today, only one in seven countries can produce enough food for their people. So we need to know clearly who really grows food for the world.”,说明这一事实是为了引出“知道谁真正为世界种植粮食很重要”。
2.第二段指出:“a study of 198 countries shows us a distinct fact: small farms...provide most of our daily food.”,这个事实与人们普遍认为的“big farms with modern machines keep the world fed”不同,因此“distinct”意为“不同的”。
3.第二段指出:“small farms, usually very small in size, provide most of our daily food.”,第三段指出:“Small farms produce a much larger share of the nation’s food than their farm count would suggest.”,说明小农场在粮食供应中占主导地位,农场规模与粮食供应占比呈负相关趋势,即农场规模越小,供应占比越高。选项B为下降直线,符合这一趋势的简化表达。
4.前文第三段指出小农场是主要粮食供应者,第四段后文提到“They often face unstable land rights, climate risks, and unfair trade rules.”,因此应填“small farm owners have many difficulties”。
5.全文围绕小农场是全球粮食供应的主要来源这一核心观点展开。

Nature has many ways to solve problems. We humans learn a lot from animals and plants in nature. There is a science that focuses on copying great ideas from animals and plants to create useful products. It is called biomimetics.
Some animals such as this sugar glider have wing-like skin to help them fly from tree to tree. When they jump, they spread out their arms and legs to help them fly down easily. Wing-suits, a kind of clothes, can let people experience flying. The idea of these clothes comes from the sugar glider.
Plants have helped people come up with amazing inventions, too. Velcro (尼龙搭扣) is one example. It includes two pieces of cloth. They stick to each other when they are pressed together. Velcro is used on everything from handbags to clothes. The idea of Velcro is from burrs (带芒刺的小果实) of a plant. They have special structures to allow themselves to stick to people’s clothing or hair. They are taken to other places in this way.
From these examples, ________. What other problems will nature help us solve in the future? Let’s wait and see!
1.What does the underlined word “biomimetics” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.A kind of sport. B.A kind of subject.
C.A kind of product. D.A kind of science.
2.Why can wing-suits help people experience flying?
A.Because they have wing-like shapes.
B.Because they are made of special cloth.
C.Because they look like beautiful clothes.
D.Because they are light and strong enough.
3.Which of the following uses Velcro?
A. B. C. D.
4.Which of the following can be put in ________ in Paragraph 4?
A.all plants can help us make new clothes.
B.few problems can be solved by biomimetics.
C.people can make creative but useless products.
D.biomimetics turns nature’s ideas into inventions.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Nature and Biomimetics B.Useful Inventions in Our Life
C.Plants and Useful Products D.Animals Help with Inventions
Imagine that a cool bamboo-like grass can be used to make green energy. Scientists at Landuo Biotech, a business in Wuhan, have created one such plant recently. They name it “super giant reed” (超级芦竹) .
Since 2012, the Landuo team have collected over 1,000 wild giant reeds for experiments. As a result, more than 40 varieties of super giant reed have been “born”. In the Landuo’s factory, hundreds of young reeds are grown in glass bottles. Fully grown, super giant reeds are cut and put in a special place without O₂. The Landuo team heat them up to make natural gas, which can then be used for energy.
Thanks to the scientists’ efforts, super giant reed has a biomass (生物量) three times that of wild giant reed. A kilogram of super giant reed also has 4,000 to 4,500 kilocalories (千卡) of energy. So, super giant reed is a great choice for taking the place of fossil fuels (化石燃料) .
What’s more, growing super giant reed helps a lot. Planting 13,000 hectares of it can produce 0.45 to 1.5 million tons of fuel a year. 40 million hectares of super giant reed can be used instead of 2.2 billion (1 billion=1,000 million) tons of coal and can cut CO₂ emissions (排放) by 4 billion tons in China every year.
Super giant reed is also well-suited for growing on some land like beaches wetlands and salty lands. Once a reed is planted, it can be cut and used many times during the next 15 to 20 years. By the end of 2024, over 3,300 hectares of super giant reed had been planted across 53 areas in China.
At present, China is developing this new energy source—super giant reed and we hope that it can help to make our planet cleaner and cleaner.
1.What is the right order according to paragraph 2?
a. The super giant reeds are cut by the Landuo team.
b. The super giant reeds are heated up to make natural gas.
c. The Landuo team grow lots of young super giant reeds in glass bottles.
d. The Landuo team put the super giant reeds in a special place without O₂.
A.a-b-c-d B.b-a-c-d C.c-b-d-a D.c-a-d-b
2.How many kilocalories of energy does a kilogram of wild giant reed probably produce?
A.1,300 to 1,500. B.2,300 to 3,500.
C.4,000 to 4,500. D.5,000 to 5,500.
3.How does the writer support the main idea of paragraph 4?
A.By listing numbers. B.By telling stories.
C.By asking questions. D.By giving suggestions.
4.In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the text?

Athletes at the Olympics hope to win medals, but there’s another shiny object they love: Olympic pins (徽章)! These small pins are popular among athletes and fans. They enjoy showing their pins off and trading them with others.
The tradition of Olympic pins started at the first modern Olympics in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Back then, some Greek athletes received a special handmade pin. It was round, covered in cloth, and had a white cross on a blue background.
Today, Olympic pins come in many styles, and many pins are symbols of a country’s culture. For instance, the Netherlands pin, which was highly sought after at the 2024 Olympic Games, has tiny orange shoes—a famous symbol of the country. Some athletes even create their own pins, like American gymnast (体操运动员) Simone Biles, who gave out heart-shaped pins with her name in the center.
Collecting and trading pins has become very popular. For example, during the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, British athletes and Team Spain traded pins by throwing them across the Seine River. Later in the Games, Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei proudly wore a lanyard (颈带) full of pins along with her six medals.
Pin trading is so popular that some call it the “unofficial sport of the Olympics”. Collectors and fans cover their shirts, lanyards, and hats with colorful pins. These pins remind them of the Games, and trading them can be a very meaningful experience—it helps people start conversations and make new friends. It’s another way the Olympics bring together people from all around the world! How amazing it is!

C.It’s a way to show athletes’ interests. D.It’s a way to get free pins from others.
How often do you remember to tell people how much you like or admire them? For many people, it’s not often enough.
There are several reasons why we don’t let others know about our positive feelings towards them. I’ve heard excuses like, “They don’t need to hear me say that—they already know,” and “I do admire her, but I am too uncomfortable to say anything.” Whatever our reasons for not giving praise are, it’s time for a change.
When I ask someone if he enjoys being praised, the answer nine times out of ten is “I love it”. Many people spend their whole lifetime wishing that other people would acknowledge (认可) them. They feel this especially about their parents, children and friends. Even praise from strangers makes them feel good about themselves.
Letting someone know the praise also makes the person offering it feel good. It’s an act of kindness. The other day, I was in a shop and saw something unimaginable. The checkout (收银) girl had just been scolded (责骂) by an angry customer—clearly without a good cause. But the girl controlled the anger by staying calm. When it was my turn to pay, I said to her “ ” She looked at me with a smile and said, “Thank you. Do you know you are the first person to praise me in this shop?” It took less than two seconds to let her know, but it was a highlight of her day, and of mine.
1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A.Suggestions on praising others.
B.Ways to share feelings.
C.Excuses for speaking ill of others.
D.Reasons for not giving praise.
2.What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.They wonder if they enjoy being praised.
B.They hope to be praised and acknowledged.
C.They make others feel good about themselves.
D.They want to acknowledge others to spread love.
3.Which of the following sentences can be put in “________” in Paragraph 4?
A.How did you stay calm?
B.I think you’d better control yourself.
C.The way you treated that customer is nice.
D.You shouldn’t treat the customer that way.
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.People usually love giving others praise.
B.Both the writer and the checkout girl felt good.
C.The last customer said sorry to the checkout girl.
D.Praise from strangers makes people uncomfortable.
5.What’s the purpose of the passage?

B.To tell us we should try to praise others often.
C.To show what kind of people especially need praise.
D.To explain why we have positive feelings towards others.
Lacquer (漆器) art is a form of traditional art in China. It uses lacquer to paint on the surface of wares (器皿) or artworks. Lacquer comes from lacquer trees as a natural liquid. When you use lacquer for painting, it can stop wares from going bad. It can also help against high temperatures. If you heat the lacquer and add colors, it becomes colorful. The lacquerware looks exquisite and it is also useful.
China was the first country to use lacquer. People started using it in the Neolithic Period. By the Xia Dynasty, lacquerware became part of everyday life. In ancient times, there were many lacquer trees in China. The famous thinker Zhuangzi took care of a lacquer tree garden during the Warring States Period.
Early lacquerware was simple. It was made from wood or bamboo and painted with lacquer. Over time, new skills like colored patterns and gold decorations (装饰品) appeared. Different dynasties had their own styles of lacquerware. In the Han Dynasty, popular lacquer items included boxes, plates, earrings, masks and so on. They were mostly red and black. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, lacquerware making reached a new high. Lacquer techniques mixed with building and furniture making. And people paid more attention to the looks.
Today, the main places for making lacquerware are Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Pingyao in Shanxi Province, Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province, Dafang in Guizhou Province, Tianshui in Gansu Province, Yichun in Jiangxi Province, and Fengxiang in Shaanxi Province.

Every spring and autumn, the sky becomes a busy highway. Millions of birds travel thousands of miles between their summer and winter homes. This amazing journey is called migration (迁徙). Recently, many big cities in China, like Beijing, Shenzhen and Chengdu, have decided to turn down their lights at night during migration season.
About 80% of migratory birds fly at night and rest during the day. Night flight offers star navigation (导航), cooler temperatures, and fewer natural enemies. However, city lights are making their journeys dangerous.
Light Domes: Bright city lights create “light domes” that hide the stars. When sky brightness is 10 times higher than natural background level, birds’ ability to find the way drops by over 30%.
The Harm of Blue Light: Birds have a special protein called cryptochrome (隐花色素). It allows them to sense the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场), but this system only works in natural dim light. Man-made light, especially blue light (400-500nm), destroys this sensing ability. ▲ Without this magnetic sense, birds lose their way completely.
Avoiding Light Traps: Birds can be attracted by bright lights from 5 kilometers away. They often circle the light until they are too tired to fly or hit buildings. Studies show that once lights are turned down, birds can usually recover their sense of direction (方向感) within minutes.
Protecting Biological Clock: Light pollution strongly reduces the production of melatonin (褪黑素). This harms the energy storage they need for long-distance flights. Parks and wetlands are “energy stations” for birds. Light pollution makes these areas stressful for birds, preventing them from resting properly. Turning down the lights is not just for birds, but for a better balance between humans and nature.
1.When do most birds choose to fly?
A.In the morning. B.At noon.
C.In the afternoon. D.At night.
2.The underlined phrase “light domes” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A.the dark sky with few stars B.homes for migratory birds
C.bright light areas over cities D.natural energy stations for birds
3.What happens to birds after the city lights are turned down?
A.They may crash into buildings finally.
B.They can get their sense of direction back soon.
C.They will produce more cryptochrome.
D.They will stop flying and look for energy.
4.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A.So birds can rest better at night.
B.Then birds will fly toward bright city lights.
C.This helps birds store more energy for long flights.
D.So they will lose their ability to sense the magnetic field.
5.What is the main purpose of the writer writing this passage?
A.To tell us how far migratory birds travel every year.
B.To explain the dangers of light pollution to migratory birds.
C.To introduce how birds navigate during the day.
D.To encourage people to build more parks for birds.
Did you feel like yesterday passed a little faster? You might be correct. July 10th, 2025, was among the shortest days of the year—about 1.3 milliseconds shorter than a normal 24-hour day.
A day has 24 hours (or 86,400,000 milliseconds), the average time Earth takes to rotate (转动) once. ________ Some are a bit longer, others shorter.
For most of history, the rotation of the Earth has been used to measure time. But in the 1950s, scientists created special clocks to measure these “fast” or “slow” days. Recent years have seen many days shorter than 86,400,000 milliseconds: July 5, 2022, holds the record (1.65 milliseconds faster), followed by July 9, 2024 (1.36 milliseconds faster) and July 29, 2024 (1.34 milliseconds faster).
For over 50 years, the shortest days of each year fall in June, July, or August, while the longest usually appear between March and May (sometimes October or November). There are many reasons to influence the speed of the Earth’s rotation. And the most important one is the pull of gravity (引力) from the moon.
Though Earth has had fast days lately, over millions of years it has been slowing down: a day today is 1.7 milliseconds longer than a day a century ago, and on average, the day has been getting 2.3 milliseconds longer per century for thousands of years.
Whether today is shorter or longer, these seemingly tiny time changes are reshaping our understanding of what a “day” is.
So, if today is one of the shortest days of the year, have you made this special day meaningful for yourself?
1.Which of the following sentence can be put in ________?
A.The earth rotates around the sun.
B.Its rotation is why we have day and night.
C.However, not every day is exactly the same.
D.People recorded the time with different tools.
2.What does the underlined word “measure” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Tell the length of. B.Make use of.
C.Take back. D.Catch up on.
3.Which of the following picture show the correct length of day (LOD) in a year?
A. B.
C. D.
4.What does the writer want the readers to do in the last paragraph?
A.Buy a new clock. B.Value the special day.
C.List meaningful activities. D.Explain the earth’s rotation.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.How Do We Tell the Time? B.Does Moon Control Days?
C.Are Days Getting Shorter? D.What Changes the Length of Day?
Who grows our food? The question seems simple, but food often travels across many countries before reaching our plates. Today, only one in seven countries can produce enough food for their people. So we need to know clearly who really grows food for the world.
Many people believe that big farms with modern machines keep the world fed. But a study of 198 countries shows us a distinct fact: small farms, usually very small in size, provide most of our daily food.
In Australia, small farms are less than 1 percent of all farms but supply (供应) 15 percent of the country’s food. Small farms produce a much larger share of the nation’s food than their farm count would suggest. In 46 countries, small farms are the main food providers, meeting the daily food needs of 5 billion people around the world.
However, ▲ They often face unstable (不稳定的) land rights, climate risks, and unfair trade rules. These problems do not just stay in one country; they spread to other nations. If small farmers lose their land or income (收入), food shortage will influence all of us.
Protecting food production from small farms requires not only national efforts to support farmers, but also global rules to make sure they have their own land and can sell their products easily. Now that we know who grows our food, we must think highly of them and make good policies for them, both at home and around the world.
1.The fact that few countries grow enough food is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show ________
A.What small farms can bring to the world.
B.How food travels from country to country.
C.How powerful big farms are in rich countries.
D.Why it’s important to know who grows food worldwide.
2.What does the underlined word “distinct” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Famous. B.Boring. C.Different. D.Painful.
3.Which of the following shows the relationship between farm size and food supply?
(x: farm size, y: food supply (%))
A. B. C. D.
4.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4?
A.big farms have fewer problems to solve.
B.many people don’t respect small farmers.
C.small farm owners have many difficulties.
D.food travels across many countries quickly.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Food Shortage in Rich Countries B.Small Farms Grow Our Food
C.Ways to Increase Food Production D.Global Trade Rules for Farmers
