HIGH-FLYING HELPERS
Drones, created as tools of war at first, are now performing important tasks to help people around the world.
Sending medical help to hard-to-reach places has been a problem for years. In Rwanda, some small hospitals don’t have enough medicine. As a result, many people die. A local company is trying to use drones to solve this problem. Drones can quickly provide healthcare service to the hospitals around Rwanda, and more people receive life-saving medicine. Drones also help after natural disasters. In 2015, a heavy storm hit Vanuatu, leaving many people homeless. Drones took pictures for the rescue (救援) teams. This helped the teams judge the situation quickly and offer help to the areas that were hardest hit.
Drones are also helping environmental organizations. Every year, poachers (偷猎者) kill many endangered animals. To stop them, the WWF uses drones. “They help us see things that we can’t,” says Colby, who works for the WWF. Drones can easily identify (识别) poachers in the dark. As well as finding poachers, these tools can be used to follow and protect animals. Scientists at a university plan to use them for a project: recording wildlife and identifying animal groups. The project leader believes drones will become widely used. “I think we will have plenty of drones flying over forests,” he predicts.
A tool made for war is now being used to save lives. “Drones can be good for both humans and animals. There’s nothing that can take the place of a good scientist. But now, thanks to drones, scientists are able to finish projects they’ve never imagined before,” says Kike, a man who cares about the environment.
1.What do drones do for the people in Rwanda?
A.They take clear pictures. B.They help the homeless in time.
C.They send medicine fast. D.They judge the situation carefully.
2.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The drones. B.The poachers.
C.The animals. D.The organizations.
3.What are drones mainly used for in Paragraph 3?
A.Starting a project. B.Finding lost people.
C.Protecting animals. D.Recording daily life.
4.What can we infer from Kike’s words?
A.Wars have brought many problems. B.New technologies need improvement.
C.People should protect the environment. D.Drones can help scientists do more things.
5.In which section of a magazine can we read the text?
A.Nature. B.Technology. C.Health. D.Travel.

(2026·江西·中考真题)Scientists in Brazil have found a new method to clean water. They can use seeds (种子) from a tree to clean dirty water. The water often has tiny plastic pieces in it. These are called microplastics. Microplastics are tiny bits of plastic, less than 0.5 cm long. They can be too small to see. They can get inside the bodies of living things, including humans.
There is a kind of tree called a Moringa tree, which grows well in hot areas and lots of people eat its leaves and seeds. For years, scientists have studied if the seeds can work on microplastics to clean dirty water. Now, they have good news. In their latest study, the team found that a substance (物质) from the seeds was very useful. When they put this substance in the water, the microplastics would stick together. So it was easier to take them out with a filter (滤水器).
The scientists first tested the method on tap water (自来水). They added microplastics to the water. Then, they compared their new method with a popular one. The popular method is more harmful to the environment. Surprisingly, both methods cleaned the water well. In some types of water, the Moringa seeds worked even better!
Now, the team is testing the seeds on water that is collected from rivers in Brazil. The results show that this new method works well for river water, too. The scientists say it is a better choice for the environment, because it does not harm nature as the popular method does.
However, more tests are still needed. Scientists want to see if this new method can clean large amounts (数量) of water.
1.What have the scientists in Brazil found?
A.Microplastics are small. B.Seeds can clean water.
C.Plastics are widely used. D.Leaves can feed people.
2.How does the substance from the seeds work on microplastics?
A.By letting them go down. B.By breaking them into pieces.
C.By turning them into gas. D.By making them stick together.
3.How is the new method different from the popular one?
A.It is easier for labs to use. B.It is more popular with people.
C.It is better for the environment. D.It is cheaper for scientists to test.
4.On what water are the scientists testing the seeds now?
A.River water. B.Tap water. C.Sea water. D.Bottled water.
5.What is needed for the next step of the study?
A.Planting more trees in Brazil. B.Collecting more Moringa leaves.
C.Setting up more research teams. D.Testing on large amounts of water.

(2025·江西·中考真题)“Going on holiday with blind people opens your eyes,” says Wendy Coley. She often goes on tours with Travel Eyes, a company that takes tourists traveling around the world. For each tour, half of the people can see and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t. The world is there for sighted (有视力的) people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe the size and color of a building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food, “Our lunch is a sandwich in the center of your plate, and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate.”
Clearly, it is good for blind travelers. They are able to learn about new places and make new friends. “You don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important,” says Jenny Tween, a blind tourist. But it is also of benefit (益处) to sighted travelers. Wendy is one of them. She says that when you describe what you see, you see things in a very different way. The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees, “Sighted people learn a lot from these trips. It’s a two-way thing.” Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things. Blind people can also help sighted people find more about the smells of food or flowers, and the sounds of music or traffic.
In the end, this isn’t a story about people who can see helping people who can’t. It’s about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends.
1.What do we know about tours with Travel Eyes?
A.Most of the tourists are blind people. B.They are organized by Wendy Coley.
C.A blind person travels with a sighted person. D.Blind people join in the tours at half the price.
2.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Tourists. B.Strangers. C.Blind people. D.Sighted members.
3.How does Jenny Tween feel during the tours?
A.Safe. B.Sleepy. C.Nervous. D.Surprised.
4.What benefit do sighted people get from the tours?
A.They cook better. B.They walk faster. C.They speak louder. D.They notice more.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Shared Travel. B.Help Blind People. C.Happy Holiday. D.Travel around the World.

(2025·江西·中考真题)
You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.
One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.
Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut.
1.Why is the coconut different from most other fruits?
A.Stamps can be put on it. B.Every part of it is useful.
C.People send it in a package. D.Addresses can be written on it.
2.What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Make room for. B.Add value to. C.Provide energy for. D.Put weight on.
3.In which part of the magazine could we read the passage?
A.Story Time. B.History World. C.Sports News. D.Amazing Nature.
4.What’s the main purpose of the passage?
A.To advise people to protect coconuts. B.To ask people to grow more coconuts.
C.To show the value and uses of coconuts. D.To introduce a fuel made from coconuts.
5.What would be the best structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.

(2024·江西·中考真题)In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
1.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving an example. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling the differences. D.By asking a question.
2.What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?
A.They came from the same country.
B.They won the lotteries in the same year.
C.They were poor before winning the lotteries.
D.They spent their money quickly and carelessly.
3.What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Expensive. B.Funny. C.Surprising. D.Lucky.
4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Big money brings lasting happiness.
B.People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.
C.Reasonable spending makes people happy.
D.The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.
5.What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?
A.To encourage readers to make big money.
B.To advise people to stay away from lotteries.
C.To show his opinion about money and happiness.
D.To share some success stories about finding happiness.

(2023·江西·中考真题)
A Bright Idea
Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp(煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.
Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.
One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar(太阳能的)light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.
Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.
Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference.
1.What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

(2026·江西抚州·二模)If you are a bike rider, you may remember your first long ride. On a bike, you could travel much faster and farther than you ever could on foot. What freedom! The first humans to ride horses probably felt the same way.
Ten thousand years ago, wild horses lived across the grasslands of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. At first, humans hunted them for meat. But around 6,000 years ago, people in Central Asia discovered something important: horses could dig through snow to find grass during cold winters, and they could also eat tough plants that other animals couldn’t. This meant horses were easy to raise. So people began to keep horses for food. For the first time, humans and horses lived together.
Later, people learned that horses lived in groups, and they followed their lead horses. By copying their actions and acting like their leaders, humans slowly won their trust. Over time, horses grew calm around humans, allowing people to milk and ride them. But early rides were difficult—imagine trying to stay on a horse without a saddle (马鞍)! The animal would jump and throw riders off from time to time. To solve this problem, people invented tools, like saddles and reins, to control horses.
People then used horses for farming, trading, and exploring new lands, which made them more popular as working animals. Because of their speed and strength, horses also became powerful partners of soldiers in wars. More interestingly, horses even influenced fashion—people invented trousers to make riding more comfortable!
Today, horses have been important friends to humans on farms and in cities, even after trains replaced them as the fastest transportation in the 1800s. From food to friends, horses have walked with humans through time. They’re living pages of our shared story.
1.What did people discover about horses around 6,000 years ago?
A.They were easy to raise. B.They were good at farming.
C.They usually lived alone. D.They couldn’t live in winter.
2.What is the problem mentioned according to Paragraph 3?
A.Horses didn’t like saddles. B.Riders fell off horses easily.
C.Horses refused to be milked. D.Riders couldn’t get off horses.
3.Which is the correct order of how the uses of horses changed?
a.Horses worked in trading.
b.People kept horses for food.
c.Horses were hunted for meat.
d.People began to ride horses.
A.d-b-c-a B.d-c-b-a C.c-b-d-a D.c-d-b-a
4.What is the writer’s opinion about horses?
A.Horses play an important role in human history.
B.Horses became useless after trains were invented.
C.Horses will make a difference to fashion in the future.

(2026·江西抚州·二模)
Why Do People Lie?
Why do people lie? Many scientists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are different reasons why children tell lies. They usually tell made-up stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become attractive and acceptable to other people. In some cases, teenagers tell lies to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up lies becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines (截止日期) and if they fail to achieve and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological (病态的) lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is linked with people who have the strong wish to tell lies. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These people lie to meet the requirements of other people who they want to please.
These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars (撒谎者) is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are used to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.
1.What does the underlined word “reprimand” mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Help. B.Reward. C.Punish. D.Repair.
2.What is one suggested way to treat pathological liars?
A.Ignoring their lies. B.Encouraging them to lie less frequently.
C.Punishing them seriously. D.Helping them tell truthful things at all times.
3.What can we probably infer from the passage?
A.Pathological lying is easy to treat.
B.Teenagers lie more often than adults.
C.Lying can become a habit if not addressed early in life.
D.Children who lie frequently will always become pathological liars.
4.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To list a group of events of pathological lying.
B.To predict the future results of pathological lying.
C.To show some typical examples of pathological lying.
D.To explain the causes and development of pathological lying.

(2026·江西宜春·二模)China’s tourism market is set to grow this spring since several provinces are giving primary and middle school students “spring breaks”. This idea was also discussed at the annual Two Sessions (两会). The government supports these breaks to help families travel during off-peak times and to boost consumption (促进消费).
Many cities have already announced their plans. For example, from April 1 to April 3, students in Chengdu will have a three-day spring break. This break can become a six-day holiday if combined with the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday. Other cities, like Nanjing and Suzhou, also have similar schedules.
Travel companies said the tourism market is possible to see notable growth this spring. According to LY.com, flight searches and bookings for late March and early April have doubled from the week before. Popular places for family trips include Sanya for its beaches, Kunming for its nice weather, and Guangzhou for its famous food. Some families also plan to visit Hong Kong, Macao, or even Bangkok and Singapore.
Experts believe this policy (政策) is good for both families and the economy. Qi Chunguang from Tuniu said that spring breaks encourage family outings and educational tours. He added that if the break is in late April, it can even be combined with the May Day holiday for a longer trip.
Lu Ming, a government adviser, thinks the policy should be carried out all over the country. He said it helps students reduce stress and gives parents a chance to travel with their children. He also suggests that companies should support this by offering paid leave to parents. This would allow families to fully enjoy their time together and gain a stronger sense of satisfaction and happiness.
1.When is the spring break in Chengdu according to the passage?
A.From late March to early April. B.From April 1 to April 3.
C.From April 4 to April 6. D.During the May Day holiday.
2.What does the underlined word “notable” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Great. B.Low. C.General. D.Slow.
3.Why does the writer mention the cities such as Sanya in paragraph 3?
A.To explain why most people travel abroad.
B.To explain why air tickets are more expensive.
C.To suggest that people only like beach holidays.
D.To show where the most popular travel places are.
4.What benefit do people get from the spring break policy?
A.Everyone can make more money.
B.People get a chance for family trips.
C.People become busier and happier.
D.Parents get more paid leave from the companies.
5.What is Lu Ming’s view about the spring break policy?
A.Uninterested. B.Doubtful. C.Serious. D.Supportive.

(2026·江西新余·二模)Imagine you are shown 10 photos of faces and told that half are real and the other half are made by AI. Can you recognize (识别) the real ones just by looking?
You might think this is an easy task, but a new study shows it is far more challenging than we believe. Today’s AI-generated (生成) faces look surprisingly real, making it difficult for most people to tell the difference.
Researchers tested 125 people to see if they could discover which were AI-made. One-third of them were “super recognizers”—people who are especially skilled at remembering and recognizing faces in daily life. However, in this study, these experts got only 57% correct on average (平均), while the other people got 51% correct, almost no different from blind guessing.
Early AI-generated faces often had clear mistakes and were easy to notice. As AI technology improves rapidly, it has learned from millions of real faces and become much smarter. Besides, there are better ways to make the pictures clear and beautiful. Now AI-generated faces look so perfect that people can hardly tell them from real ones. This has become a growing challenge in our world.
Telling real faces from AI ones is becoming harder every day. “For years, we believed photos showed real people and real situations,” said researcher James Dunn. But now when we look at pictures online, we may no longer trust “Seeing is believing”. We should be more careful with fake (假的) AI images on social media and other websites.
The team plans to study the top performers in the tests and find out the secrets behind their ability to identify AI-generated faces. In the future, they hope to create simple and useful tools to help people tell real faces from AI-generated ones more easily.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Sharing photos online. B.Looking at the photos.

(2026·江西新余·二模)On April 19, 2026, the Beijing E-Town Half Marathon and Humanoid Robot (人形机器人) Half Marathon was held successfully. It is the world’s first humanoid robot half marathon of its kind, and 2026 was its second year, with the first event held in 2025. Now it has become a famous global event to test and improve humanoid robot technologies.
After exciting competition, a robot called Shandian, developed by Honor’s Monkey King Team, won first prize. It finished the 21.0975-kilometer race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. The 2025 champion used almost 2 hours and 41 minutes to finish the same race, so this year’s result was a big step forward. It also set a new men’s world record for the humanoid robot half marathon. The great result shows modern robots are much better in running speed, balance and body endurance.
The race started at Kechuang 17th Street and finished at Nanhaizi Park. The road passed through famous places in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, with different road conditions: flat roads, slopes and curves. All these made the race a difficult real-world test for the robot runners.
The robot players were divided into two groups: fully autonomous robots and remotely (远程地) controlled robots. To support the development of independent smart technology, the running time of remotely controlled robots would be multiplied by 1.2. This year, nearly 40 percent of teams used fully autonomous robots, far more than last year.
This event is not only a sports game. It helps the research, production and use of robot technologies, and gives real tests for embodied intelligence. It also shows China’s fast progress in humanoid robots and supports creative growth of the global high-end equipment industry.

(2026·江西南昌·二模)Who doesn’t love to see a butterfly fly by? But this experience may become less common in the years ahead. According to a new, large study, butterfly populations are down 22 percent over a 20-year period in the United States. The biggest drops were found in the Southwest.
The results have worried scientists. Butterflies are not only beautiful but also help pollinate (授粉) plants and crops. They play an important role in our ecosystems. One third of the butterfly kinds have dropped quickly, while only three percent are increasing in number.
The main causes are shrinking habitats (栖息地), climate change and the growing use of pesticides (杀虫剂) since the 1990s. As natural land is used for cities and farming, butterflies lose their homes and food. Changes in temperature and weather break their life cycles, and pesticides harm small insects and the plants they depend on for living.
What can we do? Experts say we can create butterfly-friendly gardens and small natural areas. We should avoid harmful chemicals and protect wild grasslands. Planting pollinator-friendly flowers can provide butterflies with the food they need to grow and live healthily. Every small action in daily life can make a real difference.
In all, butterflies are facing serious threats and their numbers are falling fast. If we take simple but helpful steps to protect them, we can help these beautiful insects recover gradually. Protecting butterflies is necessary to keep our natural environment balanced and healthy for all living things on Earth.
1.How much have butterfly populations fallen over 20 years in the US?
A.3%. B.13%. C.22%. D.33%.
2.What does the underlined word “shrinking” in Paragraph 3mean?
A.Wild. B.Smaller. C.Growing. D.Important.
3.Choose the ways we can help butterflies.
a. Take care of wild grasslands. b. Stop using harmful chemicals.
c. Keep butterflies in indoor gardens. d. Grow flowers that need no pollinators.
e. Build small natural areas for butterflies.
A.abc B.bcd C.abe D.bde

Have you ever worn a sachet(香包) during your childhood? Sachets are also called “body sachets”. The most famous sachets in China are Xuzhou sachets.
The history of Xuzhou sachets starts from the Warring States Period. At that time, sachets were made of soft cloth and filled with things that had a pleasant or sweet smell. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, sachets became a symbol of love in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was very popular to wear them as decorations. After thousands of years of development, Xuzhou has gradually created its own special sachet-making skills.
Making Xuzhou sachets needs fine embroidery (刺绣) with many lively patterns (图案). These patterns not only include lucky symbols with traditional meanings, but also include simple flower and grass designs, which are of great value in skills. Besides, they have medical value. Following old ways, workers choose many Chinese medicines that have natural sweet smells. These medicines can keep people healthy and drive away bad luck. After special treatment, they become the main materials of sachets and are widely used in daily life.
Most Xuzhou sachets are about festivals and good luck. They are always decorated with dragons, tigers and chickens. They carry people's wishes for good luck, happiness and a better life. As people’s lives get better, Xuzhou sachets also have new subjects, which are loved by more people today, like sports events, cartoon dolls and Han Dynasty culture.
In short, Xuzhou sachets are lively, simple and beautiful. Their fine local embroidery combines (结合) both appearance and spirit, which is similar to the style of Xuzhou’s Han Dynasty stone carvings.

(2026·江西九江·二模)Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live, work, and play. Simply put, AI refers to machines or computer systems that can do jobs needing human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Let’s see how AI influences (影响) our lives!
Smart Assistants (智能助手)
Have you ever asked Siri or Alexa for help? These voice-controlled assistants use AI to understand your questions and provide answers. They can play music, set reminders, or even tell jokes. AI makes them “smart” by letting them learn from millions of conversations.
Healthcare Innovations (医疗创新)
AI helps doctors check diseases faster. For example, AI systems can read X-ray images (图像) to find out signs of illnesses. Some hospitals also use robots powered by AI to send medicines or help take care of patients.
Education Tools
AI is transforming education too! Learning apps like Duolingo use AI to create proper lessons. If a student has difficulty in learning English, the app changes the difficulty level and offers more practice. This makes learning easier and more fun.
Transportation Improvements
Self-driving cars are no longer science fiction. Companies like Tesla use AI to help cars “see” the road, stay away from obstacles (障碍物), and follow traffic rules. In the future, AI might cut down accidents caused by human mistakes.
________
While AI brings many good points, it also raises questions. For example, will AI take the place of humans? How do we protect personal information? Scientists are working hard to solve these problems.
In short, AI is like a helpful friend that makes life easier and safer. By understanding it more, we can use AI to build a better world!

Often called the smartest bird in the world, the grey parrot catches people’s eye because of its soft feathers and curious eyes. However, what truly makes it stand out is its excellent memory and amazing learning ability.
One of these parrots’ most unbelievable talents is mimicking human voices. They can learn hundreds of words and also make their tones (语调) and emotions (情感) sound like those of humans. Some pet owners say that their grey parrots can even sing short songs or repeat daily phrases like“good morning” at the right time of day. Scientists have even studied them to learn about their problem-solving skills and learning abilities.
The most famous example is that a parrot named Alex could count, recognize colors, and answer simple questions. All of these show that these birds understand far more than once believed.
Africa is the home of grey parrots. They have long been celebrated in old African stories. Among the Yoruba people,grey parrots are related to royalty (皇室) and spiritual messages. They are important because their feathers are often used in important ceremonies (仪式) to communicate with nature.
In Ashanti traditions, the parrots serve as a means of sending messages between real life and the world of imagination. It’s a sign of great cultural respect.
Today, though still respected in stories and traditions, grey parrots face many problems and dangers. Their living space is becoming smaller and smaller. And the illegal trade has caused their numbers in the wild to drop greatly. While they remain good friends or family members in homes worldwide, these smart birds are in great need of protection to save their future.

(2026·江西南昌·一模)On September 28, 2025, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge (花江大峡谷大桥) in Guizhou Province was officially opened to traffic. This bridge is now known as the world’s highest bridge, with its deck (桥面) standing 625 meters above the river — about as tall as a 200-floor building. It goes across 1,420 meters, connecting Zhenfeng County and Guanling County.
Building the bridge was not easy. Engineers and workers faced strong winds and unstable ground for over three years. They used advanced technology, such as an intelligent monitoring system, to ensure the bridge’s safety. They also took great care to protect the local environment by avoiding damage to rare plants.
Before the bridge was built, villagers spent two hours traveling over high mountains to go out. Now, the journey only takes two minutes. The convenient transportation has attracted many young people to return to their hometown. They have turned empty houses into “bridge-view guesthouses”, which are fully booked during holidays. Local specialties like green prickly ash (青花椒) and honey plums (蜂糖李) are now sold easily to other places, helping farmers earn more money.
The bridge also helps tourism. It connects beautiful places like Huangguoshu Waterfall, creating a one-hour travel circle. Every day, many visitors come to take photos of the bridge and the canyon. The local government is planning more activities like bungee jumping to make the area a popular travel destination.
Guizhou is already famous for its many high bridges, and the Huajiang Canyon Bridge is not only a new symbol of China’s engineering skills but also an important step in improving transportation and supporting economic (经济的) growth in mountainous areas.

(2026·江西萍乡·一模)Why do leaves turn red, yellow, or orange in autumn? Every time we walk through parks or forests, these colorful leaves paint the world with warmth and fascination. Have you ever wondered why this happens? It’s all about science and nature’s magic.
Leaves are like small “food factories” for trees. During spring and summer, they make food using sunlight, water, and chlorophyll (叶绿素). It gives leaves their bright green color and works hard to keep trees growing. This food-making process is very important for trees to live. Chlorophyll needs plenty of sunlight to work well, so leaves stay green when days are long and warm.
With the arrival of autumn, days get shorter and the temperature drops. Trees slow down their food-making process to save energy for winter. The chlorophyll breaks down and disappears gradually, bringing out other colors that were hidden before. Yellow and orange come from natural coloring matters called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are always in leaves but masked by green. Red and purple are made when trees produce anthocyanins (花青素) to protect leaves from cold. The amount of sunlight and rain in late autumn also influences how bright these colors are — more sunny days often lead to richer reds.
Finally, the leaves fall off because trees stop sending water and food to them. This natural process helps trees live through the cold winter. The fallen leaves then turn into food for the soil, helping trees grow new leaves next spring.
Autumn leaf colors are not just pretty — they are nature’s smart way of preparing for the changing seasons. It is a wonderful example of how plants get used to the world around them.
1.How does the writer begin the passage?
A.By telling a personal story. B.By asking a question.
C.By comparing two things. D.By giving an opinion.
2.What causes chlorophyll to break down in autumn?
①Less sunlight ②Lower temperature ③More water ④Stronger winds
A.①② B.②③ C.①④ D.②④
3.What does the underlined word “masked” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Broken. B.Painted. C.Covered. D.Changed
4.How do fallen leaves help trees according to the passage?
A.Keep trees warm in cold winter. B.Slow down trees’ growth in winter.
C.Protect trees from strong winds. D.Make the soil better for new leaves in spring.
5.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To show the importance of plants.
B.To call on people to protect nature.
C.To explain why leaves change color in autumn.
D.To describe the beautiful scenery of autumn.

(2026·江西赣州·一模)①When was the last time you used cash? Have you ever looked carefully at RMB notes (纸币)? Why are there many different patterns on them?
②Today, we pay for bubble tea or meals with just a QR code (二维码) or a tap on the phone. Notes seem to have disappeared from daily life. However, they are much more than money. Notes serve as valuable windows into Chinese culture, carrying rich historical and cultural meaning. Take the ¥100 note, for example. Its hidden pattern looks very similar to a phoenix (凤凰) design found on a piece of lacquer ware (漆器) from the Warring States Period.
③In fact, China was one of the first countries in the world to use paper money. During the Song Dynasty, people began to use notes such as jiaozi. The design was beautiful and made it hard to make fake (伪造的) money.
④In the modern times, Chinese notes continue to show cultural meaning. Every RMB note has a flower, and each flower has a special meaning in Chinese culture. For example, the ¥50 note bears the chrysanthemum (菊花). In Chinese culture, this flower often symbolizes a person who prefers to live a simple, peaceful life. This idea comes from the poet (诗人) Tao Yuanming, who wrote, “Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.”
⑤Another great example is the plum blossom (梅花) on the ¥100 note. Known for blooming in the cold of winter, the plum blossom is a symbol of strength, hope, and courage. It’s probably the most celebrated flower in Chinese culture and it has appeared in many poems since ancient times.
⑥RMB notes have more cultural value than the face value printed on them!
1.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving an example. B.By listing numbers.
C.By comparing two things. D.By asking a question.
2.What was the advantage of jiaozi’s design?
A.It had many flowers on it. B.It was used all over the world.
C.It was easy to make and cheap. D.It was beautiful and hard to fake.
3.Why does the writer use the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A.To show Tao Yuanming’s love for nature.
B.To prove chrysanthemums stand for a simple life.
C.To introduce the history of chrysanthemum planting.
D.To explain why plum blossoms are more famous than chrysanthemums.
4.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To encourage readers to use more notes.
B.To show the cultural value of Chinese notes.
C.To introduce the history of Chinese paper money.
D.To tell readers how to tell real notes from fake ones.
5.What would be the best structure of the passage?
A.B. C. D.

HIGH-FLYING HELPERS
Drones, created as tools of war at first, are now performing important tasks to help people around the world.
Sending medical help to hard-to-reach places has been a problem for years. In Rwanda, some small hospitals don’t have enough medicine. As a result, many people die. A local company is trying to use drones to solve this problem. Drones can quickly provide healthcare service to the hospitals around Rwanda, and more people receive life-saving medicine. Drones also help after natural disasters. In 2015, a heavy storm hit Vanuatu, leaving many people homeless. Drones took pictures for the rescue (救援) teams. This helped the teams judge the situation quickly and offer help to the areas that were hardest hit.
Drones are also helping environmental organizations. Every year, poachers (偷猎者) kill many endangered animals. To stop them, the WWF uses drones. “They help us see things that we can’t,” says Colby, who works for the WWF. Drones can easily identify (识别) poachers in the dark. As well as finding poachers, these tools can be used to follow and protect animals. Scientists at a university plan to use them for a project: recording wildlife and identifying animal groups. The project leader believes drones will become widely used. “I think we will have plenty of drones flying over forests,” he predicts.
A tool made for war is now being used to save lives. “Drones can be good for both humans and animals. There’s nothing that can take the place of a good scientist. But now, thanks to drones, scientists are able to finish projects they’ve never imagined before,” says Kike, a man who cares about the environment.

(2026·江西·中考真题)Scientists in Brazil have found a new method to clean water. They can use seeds (种子) from a tree to clean dirty water. The water often has tiny plastic pieces in it. These are called microplastics. Microplastics are tiny bits of plastic, less than 0.5 cm long. They can be too small to see. They can get inside the bodies of living things, including humans.
There is a kind of tree called a Moringa tree, which grows well in hot areas and lots of people eat its leaves and seeds. For years, scientists have studied if the seeds can work on microplastics to clean dirty water. Now, they have good news. In their latest study, the team found that a substance (物质) from the seeds was very useful. When they put this substance in the water, the microplastics would stick together. So it was easier to take them out with a filter (滤水器).
The scientists first tested the method on tap water (自来水). They added microplastics to the water. Then, they compared their new method with a popular one. The popular method is more harmful to the environment. Surprisingly, both methods cleaned the water well. In some types of water, the Moringa seeds worked even better!
Now, the team is testing the seeds on water that is collected from rivers in Brazil. The results show that this new method works well for river water, too. The scientists say it is a better choice for the environment, because it does not harm nature as the popular method does.
However, more tests are still needed. Scientists want to see if this new method can clean large amounts (数量) of water.
1.What have the scientists in Brazil found?
A.Microplastics are small. B.Seeds can clean water.
C.Plastics are widely used. D.Leaves can feed people.
2.How does the substance from the seeds work on microplastics?
A.By letting them go down. B.By breaking them into pieces.
C.By turning them into gas. D.By making them stick together.
3.How is the new method different from the popular one?
A.It is easier for labs to use. B.It is more popular with people.
C.It is better for the environment. D.It is cheaper for scientists to test.
4.On what water are the scientists testing the seeds now?
A.River water. B.Tap water. C.Sea water. D.Bottled water.
5.What is needed for the next step of the study?
A.Planting more trees in Brazil. B.Collecting more Moringa leaves.
C.Setting up more research teams. D.Testing on large amounts of water.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A 5.D
【导语】本文介绍了巴西科学家发现辣木树种子可吸附水中微塑料来净水,该方法环保且净水效果好,目前还需测试处理大量水体的能力。

(2025·江西·中考真题)“Going on holiday with blind people opens your eyes,” says Wendy Coley. She often goes on tours with Travel Eyes, a company that takes tourists traveling around the world. For each tour, half of the people can see and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t. The world is there for sighted (有视力的) people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe the size and color of a building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food, “Our lunch is a sandwich in the center of your plate, and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate.”
Clearly, it is good for blind travelers. They are able to learn about new places and make new friends. “You don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important,” says Jenny Tween, a blind tourist. But it is also of benefit (益处) to sighted travelers. Wendy is one of them. She says that when you describe what you see, you see things in a very different way. The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees, “Sighted people learn a lot from these trips. It’s a two-way thing.” Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things. Blind people can also help sighted people find more about the smells of food or flowers, and the sounds of music or traffic.
In the end, this isn’t a story about people who can see helping people who can’t. It’s about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends.
1.What do we know about tours with Travel Eyes?
A.Most of the tourists are blind people. B.They are organized by Wendy Coley.
C.A blind person travels with a sighted person. D.Blind people join in the tours at half the price.
2.What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Tourists. B.Strangers. C.Blind people. D.Sighted members.
3.How does Jenny Tween feel during the tours?
A.Safe. B.Sleepy. C.Nervous. D.Surprised.
4.What benefit do sighted people get from the tours?
A.They cook better. B.They walk faster. C.They speak louder. D.They notice more.
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Shared Travel. B.Help Blind People. C.Happy Holiday. D.Travel around the World.

2.词句猜测题。根据“So, sighted members might describe the size and color of a building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food”可知,视力正常的人可能会描述建筑物的大小和颜色,或者路过的陌生人的微笑。他们也许可以解释食物,故“They”指代的是前文提到的“sighted members”,即有视力的成员。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据“‘You don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important,’ says Jenny Tween.可知,Jenny在旅行中应是感到安全的。故选A。
4.细节理解题。根据“Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things.”可知,与盲人一起旅行并向他们描述世界,让视力正常的人放慢脚步,更仔细地观察颜色、形状和物体的大小,即视力正常的人在旅行中会注意到更多细节。故选D。
5.最佳标题题。通读全文并根据“It’s about people with different abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends.”可知,文章的核心是“共享旅行”,强调双方共同受益。故选A。

(2025·江西·中考真题)
You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.
One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.
Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic.
The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”.
Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut.
1.Why is the coconut different from most other fruits?
A.Stamps can be put on it. B.Every part of it is useful.
C.People send it in a package. D.Addresses can be written on it.
2.What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Make room for. B.Add value to. C.Provide energy for. D.Put weight on.
3.In which part of the magazine could we read the passage?

【导语】本文主要介绍了椰子的多种用途和价值,包括作为能源、土壤改良剂、塑料替代品以及天然包装等。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据“The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful.”可知,椰子与其他水果不同之处在于它的每个部分都有用。故选B。
2.词句猜测题。根据“Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.”可知,椰子油被制成燃料后能为车辆、船只等提供动力,因此“power”意为“提供能源”。故选C。
3.推理判断题。通读全文可知,全文围绕椰子的自然属性和多种用途展开,与自然相关。根据文章内容可推断,最可能出现在杂志的“Amazing Nature”(奇妙自然)板块。故选D。

(2024·江西·中考真题)In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion. The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46 in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in 2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
1.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving an example. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling the differences. D.By asking a question.
2.What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?
A.They came from the same country.
B.They won the lotteries in the same year.
C.They were poor before winning the lotteries.
D.They spent their money quickly and carelessly.
3.What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Expensive. B.Funny. C.Surprising. D.Lucky.
4.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Big money brings lasting happiness.
B.People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.
C.Reasonable spending makes people happy.
D.The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.
5.What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?
A.To encourage readers to make big money.
B.To advise people to stay away from lotteries.
C.To show his opinion about money and happiness.
D.To share some success stories about finding happiness.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.A 4.C 5.C
【导语】本文用真实的例子告诉我们金钱并不能买来快乐。
【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,作者通过举例子支持自己的观点,故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“Within 3 months, he was poor again because of careless spending.”和“After six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy.”可知,威廉和凯丽都是很快且没有规划地花光了钱,故选D。
3.词句猜测题。根据“She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes.”可知,她给家人和朋友买了……礼物,给自己买了昂贵的衣服。此处应与expensive语意相近,故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据“Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs, such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care.”可知,研究人员发现,当人们能够支付自己的基本需求时,比如食物、衣服、安全的住所和医疗保健,他们就会感到快乐。选项C“合理的消费使人快乐”符合,故选C。
5.主旨大意题。本文用真实的例子告诉我们金钱并不能买来快乐,目的是为了表达他对金钱和快乐的看法。故选C。

A Bright Idea
Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp(煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives.
Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up.
One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar(太阳能的)light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps.
Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free.
Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference.

(2026·江西抚州·二模)If you are a bike rider, you may remember your first long ride. On a bike, you could travel much faster and farther than you ever could on foot. What freedom! The first humans to ride horses probably felt the same way.
Ten thousand years ago, wild horses lived across the grasslands of Europe, Asia, and the Americas. At first, humans hunted them for meat. But around 6,000 years ago, people in Central Asia discovered something important: horses could dig through snow to find grass during cold winters, and they could also eat tough plants that other animals couldn’t. This meant horses were easy to raise. So people began to keep horses for food. For the first time, humans and horses lived together.
Later, people learned that horses lived in groups, and they followed their lead horses. By copying their actions and acting like their leaders, humans slowly won their trust. Over time, horses grew calm around humans, allowing people to milk and ride them. But early rides were difficult—imagine trying to stay on a horse without a saddle (马鞍)! The animal would jump and throw riders off from time to time. To solve this problem, people invented tools, like saddles and reins, to control horses.
People then used horses for farming, trading, and exploring new lands, which made them more popular as working animals. Because of their speed and strength, horses also became powerful partners of soldiers in wars. More interestingly, horses even influenced fashion—people invented trousers to make riding more comfortable!
Today, horses have been important friends to humans on farms and in cities, even after trains replaced them as the fastest transportation in the 1800s. From food to friends, horses have walked with humans through time. They’re living pages of our shared story.
1.What did people discover about horses around 6,000 years ago?
A.They were easy to raise. B.They were good at farming.
C.They usually lived alone. D.They couldn’t live in winter.
2.What is the problem mentioned according to Paragraph 3?
A.Horses didn’t like saddles. B.Riders fell off horses easily.
C.Horses refused to be milked. D.Riders couldn’t get off horses.
3.Which is the correct order of how the uses of horses changed?
a.Horses worked in trading.
b.People kept horses for food.
c.Horses were hunted for meat.
d.People began to ride horses.
A.d-b-c-a B.d-c-b-a C.c-b-d-a D.c-d-b-a
4.What is the writer’s opinion about horses?
A.Horses play an important role in human history.
B.Horses became useless after trains were invented.
C.Horses will make a difference to fashion in the future.
D.Horses influence human life more than any other animal.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了人类与马之间历史悠久的密切关系,阐述了马在人类历史上从“猎物”、“食物”转变为“运输和工作伙伴”,再到如今“人类重要朋友”的演变过程。
【详解】1.根据第二段中“But around 6,000 years ago…discovered something important…This meant horses were easy to raise.”可知,大约六千年前人类发现马能在严冬掘雪寻找草料,并能食用其他动物无法消化的坚韧植物,这说明马匹非常易于饲养。
2.根据第三段中“But early rides were difficult—imagine trying to stay on a horse without a saddle! The animal would jump and throw riders off from time to time.”可知,早期没有马鞍和缰绳等工具,骑马非常困难,马会跳跃并常常把人摔下马背。这说明当时面临的具体问题是骑马的人很容易从马背上摔下来。
3.根据第二段中“Ten thousand years ago…At first, humans hunted them for meat.”对应最初捕猎野马作为肉食(c);根据第二段中“But around 6,000 years ago…So people began to keep horses for food.”对应圈养马匹作为食物来源(b);根据第三段中“…allowing people to milk and ride them.”对应学会骑马(d);根据第四段中“People then used horses for farming, trading, and exploring new lands…”对应将马用于贸易等领域(a)。由此可知,马的用途变化正确顺序为c-b-d-a。
4.根据最后一段中“From food to friends, horses have walked with humans through time. They’re living pages of our shared story.”可知,作者将马形容为人类共同历史的“活书页”,强调了马陪伴人类度过了漫长的历史岁月。这高度概括了作者对马的看法,即马在人类历史中扮演着极其重要的角色。

Why Do People Lie?
Why do people lie? Many scientists agree that lying can start from childhood. There are different reasons why children tell lies. They usually tell made-up stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past. Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents. If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories, then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends. This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become attractive and acceptable to other people. In some cases, teenagers tell lies to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits. Their knowledge on making up lies becomes more developed. People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines (截止日期) and if they fail to achieve and do their tasks efficiently. Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home. The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character. Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological (病态的) lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition, which is linked with people who have the strong wish to tell lies. Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything. These people lie to meet the requirements of other people who they want to please.
These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure. One of the best ways of treating pathological liars (撒谎者) is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times. This may be hard for them, but as they are used to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.
1.What does the underlined word “reprimand” mean in Paragraph 1?
A.Help. B.Reward. C.Punish. D.Repair.
2.What is one suggested way to treat pathological liars?
A.Ignoring their lies. B.Encouraging them to lie less frequently.
C.Punishing them seriously. D.Helping them tell truthful things at all times.
3.What can we probably infer from the passage?
A.Pathological lying is easy to treat.
B.Teenagers lie more often than adults.
C.Lying can become a habit if not addressed early in life.
D.Children who lie frequently will always become pathological liars.
4.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
A.To list a group of events of pathological lying.
B.To predict the future results of pathological lying.
C.To show some typical examples of pathological lying.
D.To explain the causes and development of pathological lying.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.C 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文,围绕人们撒谎的原因展开,按照儿童、青少年、成年人的成长顺序介绍各阶段说谎缘由,还介绍了病态说谎的表现、成因与治疗方式。
【详解】1.根据第一段语境,前文提到孩子撒谎是为了“避免受到父母的惩罚 (avoid receiving punishments)”,后文说如果父母没有“reprimand”孩子,他们可能会继续撒谎。由此推断,为了阻止撒谎,父母应该采取批评或惩罚的措施。Punish“惩罚/惩戒”最接近“批评指责”的含义,符合上下文逻辑。
2.根据文章最后一段第二句“One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times.”(治疗病态撒谎者最好的方法之一是帮助他们一直讲真实的陈述和故事。)可知,建议的方法是帮助他们始终说真话。选项D与此意完全一致。
3.根据第一段可知,如果父母不及时纠正(reprimand),孩子青少年时期会继续撒谎;第三段提到“As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits.”(随着青少年成长,撒谎成为他们的习惯之一)。由此可推断,如果撒谎行为在早期没有得到解决,可能会变成一种习惯。选项A与文中“This may be hard for them”矛盾;选项B文中未比较青少年和成人的撒谎频率;选项D中always过于绝对。
4.文章开头提出“人们为什么撒谎”,接着分析了儿童、青少年撒谎的原因,随后阐述了撒谎如何发展成习惯乃至病态撒谎(pathological lying),最后提到了治疗方法。整篇文章主要围绕病态撒谎的成因及其发展过程展开分析。选项D“解释病态撒谎的成因和发展”最能概括作者的写作目的。

(2026·江西宜春·二模)China’s tourism market is set to grow this spring since several provinces are giving primary and middle school students “spring breaks”. This idea was also discussed at the annual Two Sessions (两会). The government supports these breaks to help families travel during off-peak times and to boost consumption (促进消费).
Many cities have already announced their plans. For example, from April 1 to April 3, students in Chengdu will have a three-day spring break. This break can become a six-day holiday if combined with the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday. Other cities, like Nanjing and Suzhou, also have similar schedules.
Travel companies said the tourism market is possible to see notable growth this spring. According to LY.com, flight searches and bookings for late March and early April have doubled from the week before. Popular places for family trips include Sanya for its beaches, Kunming for its nice weather, and Guangzhou for its famous food. Some families also plan to visit Hong Kong, Macao, or even Bangkok and Singapore.

(2026·江西新余·二模)Imagine you are shown 10 photos of faces and told that half are real and the other half are made by AI. Can you recognize (识别) the real ones just by looking?
You might think this is an easy task, but a new study shows it is far more challenging than we believe. Today’s AI-generated (生成) faces look surprisingly real, making it difficult for most people to tell the difference.
Researchers tested 125 people to see if they could discover which were AI-made. One-third of them were “super recognizers”—people who are especially skilled at remembering and recognizing faces in daily life. However, in this study, these experts got only 57% correct on average (平均), while the other people got 51% correct, almost no different from blind guessing.
Early AI-generated faces often had clear mistakes and were easy to notice. As AI technology improves rapidly, it has learned from millions of real faces and become much smarter. Besides, there are better ways to make the pictures clear and beautiful. Now AI-generated faces look so perfect that people can hardly tell them from real ones. This has become a growing challenge in our world.
Telling real faces from AI ones is becoming harder every day. “For years, we believed photos showed real people and real situations,” said researcher James Dunn. But now when we look at pictures online, we may no longer trust “Seeing is believing”. We should be more careful with fake (假的) AI images on social media and other websites.
The team plans to study the top performers in the tests and find out the secrets behind their ability to identify AI-generated faces. In the future, they hope to create simple and useful tools to help people tell real faces from AI-generated ones more easily.
1.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Sharing photos online. B.Looking at the photos.
C.Making Al-generated faces. D.Telling real faces from AI ones.
2.What can we learn about “super recognizers” from the passage?
A.They could perform perfectly in the test.
B.They got 51% correct on average in the test.
C.They like creating different kinds of AI faces.
D.They are especially good at recognizing faces.
3.Which of the following is mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.When the early AI-generated faces appeared.
B.Why today’s AI faces are hard to recognize.
C.Who will create a new tool for telling AI faces.
D.How many people can easily discover AI faces.
4.What is the main purpose of the future tool mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To help people create more perfect AI faces.
B.To make it easier to tell real faces from AI ones.
C.To teach people how to become super recognizers.
D.To test how well people can remember faces.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Amazing AI Technology. B.Can You Tell AI Faces from Real Ones?
C.How to Become a Super Recognizer. D.Useful Tools for Identifying Photos.
【答案】1.D 2.D 3.B 4.B 5.B

(2026·江西新余·二模)On April 19, 2026, the Beijing E-Town Half Marathon and Humanoid Robot (人形机器人) Half Marathon was held successfully. It is the world’s first humanoid robot half marathon of its kind, and 2026 was its second year, with the first event held in 2025. Now it has become a famous global event to test and improve humanoid robot technologies.
After exciting competition, a robot called Shandian, developed by Honor’s Monkey King Team, won first prize. It finished the 21.0975-kilometer race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. The 2025 champion used almost 2 hours and 41 minutes to finish the same race, so this year’s result was a big step forward. It also set a new men’s world record for the humanoid robot half marathon. The great result shows modern robots are much better in running speed, balance and body endurance.
The race started at Kechuang 17th Street and finished at Nanhaizi Park. The road passed through famous places in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, with different road conditions: flat roads, slopes and curves. All these made the race a difficult real-world test for the robot runners.
The robot players were divided into two groups: fully autonomous robots and remotely (远程地) controlled robots. To support the development of independent smart technology, the running time of remotely controlled robots would be multiplied by 1.2. This year, nearly 40 percent of teams used fully autonomous robots, far more than last year.

(2026·江西南昌·二模)Who doesn’t love to see a butterfly fly by? But this experience may become less common in the years ahead. According to a new, large study, butterfly populations are down 22 percent over a 20-year period in the United States. The biggest drops were found in the Southwest.
The results have worried scientists. Butterflies are not only beautiful but also help pollinate (授粉) plants and crops. They play an important role in our ecosystems. One third of the butterfly kinds have dropped quickly, while only three percent are increasing in number.
The main causes are shrinking habitats (栖息地), climate change and the growing use of pesticides (杀虫剂) since the 1990s. As natural land is used for cities and farming, butterflies lose their homes and food. Changes in temperature and weather break their life cycles, and pesticides harm small insects and the plants they depend on for living.
What can we do? Experts say we can create butterfly-friendly gardens and small natural areas. We should avoid harmful chemicals and protect wild grasslands. Planting pollinator-friendly flowers can provide butterflies with the food they need to grow and live healthily. Every small action in daily life can make a real difference.
In all, butterflies are facing serious threats and their numbers are falling fast. If we take simple but helpful steps to protect them, we can help these beautiful insects recover gradually. Protecting butterflies is necessary to keep our natural environment balanced and healthy for all living things on Earth.
1.How much have butterfly populations fallen over 20 years in the US?
A.3%. B.13%. C.22%. D.33%.
2.What does the underlined word “shrinking” in Paragraph 3mean?
A.Wild. B.Smaller. C.Growing. D.Important.
3.Choose the ways we can help butterflies.
a. Take care of wild grasslands. b. Stop using harmful chemicals.
c. Keep butterflies in indoor gardens. d. Grow flowers that need no pollinators.
e. Build small natural areas for butterflies.
A.abc B.bcd C.abe D.bde

Often called the smartest bird in the world, the grey parrot catches people’s eye because of its soft feathers and curious eyes. However, what truly makes it stand out is its excellent memory and amazing learning ability.
One of these parrots’ most unbelievable talents is mimicking human voices. They can learn hundreds of words and also make their tones (语调) and emotions (情感) sound like those of humans. Some pet owners say that their grey parrots can even sing short songs or repeat daily phrases like“good morning” at the right time of day. Scientists have even studied them to learn about their problem-solving skills and learning abilities.
The most famous example is that a parrot named Alex could count, recognize colors, and answer simple questions. All of these show that these birds understand far more than once believed.
Africa is the home of grey parrots. They have long been celebrated in old African stories. Among the Yoruba people,grey parrots are related to royalty (皇室) and spiritual messages. They are important because their feathers are often used in important ceremonies (仪式) to communicate with nature.
In Ashanti traditions, the parrots serve as a means of sending messages between real life and the world of imagination. It’s a sign of great cultural respect.
Today, though still respected in stories and traditions, grey parrots face many problems and dangers. Their living space is becoming smaller and smaller. And the illegal trade has caused their numbers in the wild to drop greatly. While they remain good friends or family members in homes worldwide, these smart birds are in great need of protection to save their future.
1.What makes the grey parrot truly stand out from other birds?
A.Its role in African traditions. B.Its soft feathers and curious eyes.
C.Its ability to live in different places. D.Its excellent memory and amazing learning ability.
2.What does the underlined word“mimicking” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Following. B.Recognizing. C.Comparing. D.Copying.
3.Why were grey parrots important in Yoruba culture?
A.Because their feathers were used for trade.
B.Because they were kept as pets by important people.

(2026·江西南昌·一模)On September 28, 2025, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge (花江大峡谷大桥) in Guizhou Province was officially opened to traffic. This bridge is now known as the world’s highest bridge, with its deck (桥面) standing 625 meters above the river — about as tall as a 200-floor building. It goes across 1,420 meters, connecting Zhenfeng County and Guanling County.
Building the bridge was not easy. Engineers and workers faced strong winds and unstable ground for over three years. They used advanced technology, such as an intelligent monitoring system, to ensure the bridge’s safety. They also took great care to protect the local environment by avoiding damage to rare plants.
Before the bridge was built, villagers spent two hours traveling over high mountains to go out. Now, the journey only takes two minutes. The convenient transportation has attracted many young people to return to their hometown. They have turned empty houses into “bridge-view guesthouses”, which are fully booked during holidays. Local specialties like green prickly ash (青花椒) and honey plums (蜂糖李) are now sold easily to other places, helping farmers earn more money.
The bridge also helps tourism. It connects beautiful places like Huangguoshu Waterfall, creating a one-hour travel circle. Every day, many visitors come to take photos of the bridge and the canyon. The local government is planning more activities like bungee jumping to make the area a popular travel destination.
Guizhou is already famous for its many high bridges, and the Huajiang Canyon Bridge is not only a new symbol of China’s engineering skills but also an important step in improving transportation and supporting economic (经济的) growth in mountainous areas.

(2026·江西萍乡·一模)Why do leaves turn red, yellow, or orange in autumn? Every time we walk through parks or forests, these colorful leaves paint the world with warmth and fascination. Have you ever wondered why this happens? It’s all about science and nature’s magic.
Leaves are like small “food factories” for trees. During spring and summer, they make food using sunlight, water, and chlorophyll (叶绿素). It gives leaves their bright green color and works hard to keep trees growing. This food-making process is very important for trees to live. Chlorophyll needs plenty of sunlight to work well, so leaves stay green when days are long and warm.
With the arrival of autumn, days get shorter and the temperature drops. Trees slow down their food-making process to save energy for winter. The chlorophyll breaks down and disappears gradually, bringing out other colors that were hidden before. Yellow and orange come from natural coloring matters called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are always in leaves but masked by green. Red and purple are made when trees produce anthocyanins (花青素) to protect leaves from cold. The amount of sunlight and rain in late autumn also influences how bright these colors are — more sunny days often lead to richer reds.
Finally, the leaves fall off because trees stop sending water and food to them. This natural process helps trees live through the cold winter. The fallen leaves then turn into food for the soil, helping trees grow new leaves next spring.
Autumn leaf colors are not just pretty — they are nature’s smart way of preparing for the changing seasons. It is a wonderful example of how plants get used to the world around them.
1.How does the writer begin the passage?
A.By telling a personal story. B.By asking a question.
C.By comparing two things. D.By giving an opinion.
2.What causes chlorophyll to break down in autumn?
①Less sunlight ②Lower temperature ③More water ④Stronger winds
A.①② B.②③ C.①④ D.②④
3.What does the underlined word “masked” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Broken. B.Painted. C.Covered. D.Changed
4.How do fallen leaves help trees according to the passage?
A.Keep trees warm in cold winter. B.Slow down trees’ growth in winter.

【答案】1.B 2.A 3.C 4.D 5.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要解释了秋天树叶变红、黄、橙色的科学原理,介绍了叶绿素、类胡萝卜素和花青素在树叶变色过程中的作用,以及树叶脱落对树木的意义。
1.原文第一段以“Why do leaves turn red, yellow, or orange in autumn?” 和 “Have you ever wondered why this happens?” 两个问句引入话题,因此是通过提问的方式开篇。
2.原文第三段提到“With the arrival of autumn, days get shorter and the temperature drops. Trees slow down their food-making process to save energy for winter. The chlorophyll breaks down...”,说明日照变短(更少阳光)和气温下降(更低温度)是叶绿素分解的原因。
3.原文提到“Yellow and orange come from... carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are always in leaves but masked by green”,类胡萝卜素一直存在于树叶中,只是被绿色(叶绿素)遮盖,因此“masked”意为“遮盖、覆盖”。
4.原文第四段提到“The fallen leaves then turn into food for the soil, helping trees grow new leaves next spring”,说明落叶会变成土壤的养分,帮助树木在春天长出新叶,也就是让土壤更适合新叶生长。
5.文章开篇提出“秋天树叶为什么变色”的问题,随后从科学角度详细解释了变色的原因,因此主要目的是解释秋天树叶变色的原因。

(2026·江西赣州·一模)①When was the last time you used cash? Have you ever looked carefully at RMB notes (纸币)? Why are there many different patterns on them?
②Today, we pay for bubble tea or meals with just a QR code (二维码) or a tap on the phone. Notes seem to have disappeared from daily life. However, they are much more than money. Notes serve as valuable windows into Chinese culture, carrying rich historical and cultural meaning. Take the ¥100 note, for example. Its hidden pattern looks very similar to a phoenix (凤凰) design found on a piece of lacquer ware (漆器) from the Warring States Period.
③In fact, China was one of the first countries in the world to use paper money. During the Song Dynasty, people began to use notes such as jiaozi. The design was beautiful and made it hard to make fake (伪造的) money.
④In the modern times, Chinese notes continue to show cultural meaning. Every RMB note has a flower, and each flower has a special meaning in Chinese culture. For example, the ¥50 note bears the chrysanthemum (菊花). In Chinese culture, this flower often symbolizes a person who prefers to live a simple, peaceful life. This idea comes from the poet (诗人) Tao Yuanming, who wrote, “Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence.”
⑤Another great example is the plum blossom (梅花) on the ¥100 note. Known for blooming in the cold of winter, the plum blossom is a symbol of strength, hope, and courage. It’s probably the most celebrated flower in Chinese culture and it has appeared in many poems since ancient times.
⑥RMB notes have more cultural value than the face value printed on them!
1.How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A.By giving an example. B.By listing numbers.
C.By comparing two things. D.By asking a question.
2.What was the advantage of jiaozi’s design?
A.It had many flowers on it. B.It was used all over the world.
C.It was easy to make and cheap. D.It was beautiful and hard to fake.
3.Why does the writer use the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?
A.To show Tao Yuanming’s love for nature.
B.To prove chrysanthemums stand for a simple life.
C.To introduce the history of chrysanthemum planting.
D.To explain why plum blossoms are more famous than chrysanthemums.
4.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To encourage readers to use more notes.
B.To show the cultural value of Chinese notes.
C.To introduce the history of Chinese paper money.
D.To tell readers how to tell real notes from fake ones.
5.What would be the best structure of the passage?
A.B. C. D.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.B 5.C

【详解】1.第二段“However, they are much more...rich historical and cultural meaning.”为作者的观点,下文“Take the ¥100 note, for example.”为举例,说明作者用例子来支撑他的观点。
2.第三段“The design was beautiful and made it hard to make fake (伪造的) money.”表明交子设计精美,使得伪造货币变得困难。
3.第四段“In Chinese culture, this flower often symbolizes a person who prefers to live a simple, peaceful life.”和“This idea comes from the poet (诗人) Tao Yuanming”表明,下划线句子的目的是证明菊花代表着简朴的生活。
4.第二段“Notes serve as valuable windows into Chinese culture, carrying rich historical and cultural meaning.”和最后一段“RMB notes have more cultural value than the face value printed on them!”点明了作者的核心观点:纸币的文化价值才是本文想要展示的重点。
5.本文属于总分总结构,①②段为主题引入+观点,属于一部分;③④⑤段为三个并列的例子,属于一部分;第⑥段属于总结。选项C与之对应。
