Here’s how it helps save energy, protect animals, and reduce pollution. ②In many office buildings, people sometimes forget to turn off the lights or the air conditioners (空调). As a result, a lot of electricity is wasted. Thanks to AI, the problem can be solved. It learns what the temperature is and how many people are inside the buildings. Then it makes thousands of small changes to save electricity every day. No single change is big, but all of them together can make a big difference. ③Another problem is about hunting wild animals. You can’t imagine how many kinds of wild animals around the world are in danger now. Luckily, AI can collect all the data (数据) to learn from the past hunting events. Then it can guess where the hunters will go next. It was once used in a certain area, and the number of hunting events dropped from 19 a month to zero. ④How can AI help reduce pollution? To clean up plastic waste from the ocean, you first need to know where it is. However, it’s difficult because the ocean is too wide. But with satellites (人造卫星), AI can quickly make a map to show where the plastic is. This helps clean up the ocean much more efficiently, because the ships can be sent to the right places to collect the plastic waste quickly. ⑤However, none of these benefits come for free. Training AI also uses a lot of energy. So we should make wise choices. 1．What energy can AI help save in the office buildings? A．Gas. B．Water. C．Electricity. 2．Which paragraph talks about how AI helps protect wild animals? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. 二、（2026年湖南省中考英语试题） Project Grow Vegetables in Pots Why Grow in Pots?

However, research shows that starting a conversation with a stranger can make you enjoy your day more. One day after work, Emma saw a man who was sitting alone on a bench (长椅) in the park. She wanted to talk to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he would like to chat. She once tried speaking to a lady on a bench in a hospital, but the lady said sorry and refused politely. However, this man seemed sad, so Emma finally made a decision. She walked up to him and said hi. Then they began a long conversation. When they had to say goodbye, the man thanked Emma, “Your words warmed my heart and made my day.” His words also made Emma happy for the rest of the day. This experience gave Emma a good idea. The next day, she made signs to put up on the park benches, which said, “Happy-to-Chat Bench. Sit here if you don’t mind talking with others!” The idea soon became a great success. More and more people came to sit on the benches, waiting to be talked to. Now, “Happy-to-Chat Benches” can be found in many countries.

Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. 1．Why did Emily volunteer in Africa? A．She lived a really difficult life at home. B．She hoped to learn a new language there. C．She wanted to experience something new. 2．How were the African kids in Emily’s eyes in Paragraph 2? A．Quite teachable. B．Hard to deal with. C．Bored of learning. 3．What does Emily get from her volunteering experience? A．The freedom to choose a well-paid job. B．The chance to connect with good people a lot. C．The ability to express thanks for what she has lost. 五、（2025·湖南·中考真题） What are insects (昆虫) like in your eyes? Have you ever noticed them? Insects are very interesting animals. They may be small, but they are smart and hard-working. Scientists have studied different kinds of insects very closely. According to their studies, even the smallest insects have tools to help do their work. Have you ever seen a little fly called a sawfly? It gets such a name because it has a s aw (锯子) that is used on plants to create a safe space for its eggs. After laying its eggs, the sawfly makes some glue. The glue fixes the eggs to where they are laid. Another insect that has its own natural tool is the poppy bee (蜂). The bees live in wood. Like people who make things out of wood, poppy bees use special tools to dig nests (巢穴) out of wood. They dig and clean out the nest to make it ready for use. When all is ready, poppy bees cut out pieces of leaves in the shape of a nest. They then join the pieces together and put them into the nest. Ants are also known for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water so that they take in the water. Then the ants carry them back to their nests. There are more insects than any other living things in the world. Every insect is special. The more you notice them, the more they will surprise you. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By making comparisons. 2．What can we know about poppy bees from paragraph 3? A．They clean their nests with big leaves. B．They pot pieces of leaves around nests. C．They dig nests before cutting out leaves. 3．Which of the following use leaves to take in water according to the text? A．Sawflies. B．Poppy bees. C．Ants. 六、（2025年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） One morning, I stopped at my favorite restaurant to get something to eat and got comfortable at a small table. Shortly after, I noticed four young people sitting at a table near me. After simply greeting each other and ordering, they all looked at their phones and continued to do so until their orders arrived. After photographing their food, they ate, continuing to look at their phones. I was wondering why they came here to eat together. They were phubbing, or phone snubbing (冷落), a very common problem these days. You may not know the word “phubbing”, but this kind of act is not strange to you. In fact, 32% of people report that they are phubbed two or three times a day. Do you have a conversation on your phone while talking to another person face to face? Do you scroll (上下滑动) through your phone while eating with someone for fear of missing out? If your answer is yes to either of them, you might be a “phubber”. The writer of The Psychology of Phubbing did a survey and found that the influence of phubbing on relationships can be very harmful or destructive. For example, children felt that parents who phubbed them didn’t care about them. This led to a feeling of being left out. Also, partners who were phubbed might be less satisfied with the relationship because of jealousy (嫉妒) and worries. Phubbing is a learned act, so unlearning it is possible. Start by accepting the problem. Set a time limit (限制) for not using your phone. Create areas where phones are off-limits. Don’t let the modern technology which is designed (设计) to bring people together separate you from others. 1．What did the four young people keep doing before their orders arrived? A．Greeting each other. B．Looking at their phones. C．Photographing their food. 2．How does the writer introduce the word “phubber” in Paragraph 3? A．By raising questions. B．By listing numbers.

Her family enjoyed her stinky tofu (臭豆腐), so she cooked it twice a week. One afternoon, they heard a knock on the door. It was from the community workers. They had received a complaint (投诉) from the Tans’ neighbors, the Lees, about the smell of the stinky tofu. Mrs. Tan said sorry and decided that she would close the kitchen window the next time. That was what she did the following week. However, the community worker came to them again for the same problem. “I have closed the kitchen WINDOWS!” she said in anger. “Actually I can’t stand the habit of eating durians (榴莲). The smell of the durians is too strong for me.” The community worker then decided to call for a meeting with the durians at the beginning. Both Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Lee had a scowl on the faces. They even didn’t look at each other. The community worker explained the disagreement. He suggested that the Tans can eat stinky tofu twice a month. Similarity, the Lees should try to eat durians weeks. Mrs. Tan agreed and even invited Mrs. Lee to taste her stinky tofu. After a month, the community worker met up with both families to see if they got any progress. Mrs. Lee was full of praise, “Your tofu tastes so good! You are a good cook, Mrs. Lee. Shall I bring some durians for you next time You might love them”. “Perhaps.” said Mrs. Tan politely.

They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every ten kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise. Do you know how we hear? There are cells (细胞) inside the ears that help us hear. We can’t see them with our eyes. “We call them hair cells,” Jackie Clark said. “They look like hairs standing up.” Clark is a scientist at the University of Texas. She studies noises and ears. Sound cannot be seen, but it can make the hair cells move back and forward. Think of the wind in the leaves. Loud noises can damage (损伤) these cells. And once the cells are damaged, they don’t grow back. Sometimes there’s tinnitus. “It’s like someone is playing a note on the flute (长笛) for a long time,” Clark says. It shows we’re losing hearing. Tinnitus is not only harmful to our ears, also it can make us feel uneasy. That’s why it’s necessary to protect our ears. How can we protect our ears? We’d better keep the volume low when we use our headphones. We should be able to hear sounds around us. And other people shouldn’t hear noise from our headphones. “If I can hear what you’re listening to when you’re wearing your headphones,” Clark says, “it’s too loud.” To protect our ears, keep our headphones at about half volume. 1．What can we know about hair cells? A．They help us hear. B．They look like hairs lying down. C．They can be seen clearly with our eyes. 十二、（2024·湖南·中考真题） Would you be able to sleep with one eye open? Bottlenose dolphins (宽吻海豚) can. When they sleep, only half of their brain goes to sleep. They sleep with one eye open to stay safe. Half of their brain sleeps for about two hours before the other half of their brain gets a chance to sleep. Sometimes, the dolphins will keep swimming while they are sleeping. Dolphins are not fish—they are mammals (哺乳动物). These mammals have lungs (肺). And they don’t have gills (腮) like fish. They are also warm-blooded and have to go to the surface of the water to get air into their lungs. Dolphins don’t lay eggs. Their young are born alive, and they drink milk from their mothers. Dolphins are one of the smartest animals in the world. There are many stories about how they save people out of water. They are able to solve many problems like humans. They can even use tools to catch fish. But their cleverness doesn’t end there. Dolphins can also pass on anything they learn to other dolphins, like interesting fishing skills. They communicate with each other in many ways. They use different sounds to talk to each other. Dolphins know the “voices” of other dolphins and even know exactly who is making which sound. Another thing that shows their cleverness is that they can also know themselves in a mirror (镜子) and check different parts of their body in it. 1．Why do bottlenose dolphins sleep with one eye open? A．To stay safe. B．To sleep for two hours. C．To swim faster. 2．What can we learn about dolphins from paragraph 2? A．They use gills to get air. B．They are warm-blooded. C．They lay eggs like fish. 3．How do dolphins talk to each other? A．By learning fishing skills. B．By using different sounds. C．By checking their bodies. 十三、（2024·湖南长沙·中考真题） The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind. But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now. Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather. After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons. “I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.” 1．What do we know about The Four Seasons? A．It is still unpopular now. B．It was written by Hache Costa. C．It was first played about 300 years ago. 2．What will come to mind when we listen to the old “Autumn” according to the passage? A．Forest fires and dry weather. B．A harvest celebration. C．A hot lazy day. 十四、（2024·湖南长沙·中考真题） What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout. What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it! 1．How long can an exercise snack last according to the passage? A．20 seconds to two minutes. B．30 minutes to four hours. C．Five to ten minutes. 2．Which is an acceptable exercise snack mentioned in the passage? A．Doing math exercises. B．Eating snacks. C．Doing sit-ups. 十五、（2024年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） International Summer Camp 2024 Edward Educational Company was set up in 1999. It has rich experience in providing educational trips for children.

And once the cells are damaged, they don’t grow back. Sometimes there’s tinnitus. “It’s like someone is playing a note on the flute (长笛) for a long time,” Clark says. It shows we’re losing hearing. Tinnitus is not only harmful to our ears, also it can make us feel uneasy. That’s why it’s necessary to protect our ears. How can we protect our ears? We’d better keep the volume low when we use our headphones. We should be able to hear sounds around us. And other people shouldn’t hear noise from our headphones. “If I can hear what you’re listening to when you’re wearing your headphones,” Clark says, “it’s too loud.” To protect our ears, keep our headphones at about half volume. 2．What does the underlined word “tinnitus” mean in Paragraph 3? A．A musical voice. B．A kind of instrument. C．Ringing in ears. 五、（2024年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind. But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now. Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather. After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons. “I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.” 3．Which is close to the underlined word “updated” in meaning in Paragraph 4? A．提上日程 B．追根溯源 C．赋予新意 考点03主旨大意题 一、（2025年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） One morning, I stopped at my favorite restaurant to get something to eat and got comfortable at a small table. Shortly after, I noticed four young people sitting at a table near me. After simply greeting each other and ordering, they all looked at their phones and continued to do so until their orders arrived. After photographing their food, they ate, continuing to look at their phones. I was wondering why they came here to eat together. They were phubbing, or phone snubbing (冷落), a very common problem these days. You may not know the word “phubbing”, but this kind of act is not strange to you. In fact, 32% of people report that they are phubbed two or three times a day. Do you have a conversation on your phone while talking to another person face to face? Do you scroll (上下滑动) through your phone while eating with someone for fear of missing out? If your answer is yes to either of them, you might be a “phubber”. The writer of The Psychology of Phubbing did a survey and found that the influence of phubbing on relationships can be very harmful or destructive. For example, children felt that parents who phubbed them didn’t care about them. This led to a feeling of being left out. Also, partners who were phubbed might be less satisfied with the relationship because of jealousy (嫉妒) and worries. Phubbing is a learned act, so unlearning it is possible. Start by accepting the problem. Set a time limit (限制) for not using your phone. Create areas where phones are off-limits. Don’t let the modern technology which is designed (设计) to bring people together separate you from others. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To warn people against phubbing. B．To show how phones bring people closer. C．To present the advantages of modern technology. 二、（2025年湖南省中考英语真题） The Tan family, from Hunan, was new to the block and Mrs. Tan loved to cook. Her family enjoyed her stinky tofu (臭豆腐), so she cooked it twice a week. One afternoon, they heard a knock on the door. It was from the community workers. They had received a complaint (投诉) from the Tans’ neighbors, the Lees, about the smell of the stinky tofu. Mrs. Tan said sorry and decided that she would close the kitchen window the next time. That was what she did the following week. However, the community worker came to them again for the same problem. “I have closed the kitchen WINDOWS!” she said in anger. “Actually I can’t stand the habit of eating durians (榴莲). The smell of the durians is too strong for me.” The community worker then decided to call for a meeting with the durians at the beginning. Both Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Lee had a scowl on the faces. They even didn’t look at each other. The community worker explained the disagreement. He suggested that the Tans can eat stinky tofu twice a month. Similarity, the Lees should try to eat durians weeks. Mrs. Tan agreed and even invited Mrs. Lee to taste her stinky tofu. After a month, the community worker met up with both families to see if they got any progress. Mrs. Lee was full of praise, “Your tofu tastes so good! You are a good cook, Mrs. Lee. Shall I bring some durians for you next time You might love them”. “Perhaps.” said Mrs. Tan politely. From then on, they learned to accept their likes and dislikes. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A．To show the importance of understanding. B．To praise the friendly community workers. C．To introduce how to make tasty stinky tofu. 三、（2025年湖南省中考英语真题） What are insects (昆虫) like in your eyes? Have you ever noticed them? Insects are very interesting animals. They may be small, but they are smart and hard-working. Scientists have studied different kinds of insects very closely. According to their studies, even the smallest insects have tools to help do their work. Have you ever seen a little fly called a sawfly? It gets such a name because it has a s aw (锯子) that is used on plants to create a safe space for its eggs. After laying its eggs, the sawfly makes some glue. The glue fixes the eggs to where they are laid. Another insect that has its own natural tool is the poppy bee (蜂). The bees live in wood. Like people who make things out of wood, poppy bees use special tools to dig nests (巢穴) out of wood. They dig and clean out the nest to make it ready for use. When all is ready, poppy bees cut out pieces of leaves in the shape of a nest. They then join the pieces together and put them into the nest. Ants are also known for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water so that they take in the water. Then the ants carry them back to their nests. There are more insects than any other living things in the world. Every insect is special. The more you notice them, the more they will surprise you. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Insects and Tools B．Animals and Eggs C．Plants and Leaves 四、（2024年湖南省中考英语真题） Headphones are helpful. Many kids use them. But headphones can be harmful, too. They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every ten kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise. Do you know how we hear? There are cells (细胞) inside the ears that help us hear.

C．After using a headphone, check your ears. 五、（2024年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout. What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it! 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To change traditional eating habits. B．To introduce an inventive new way to stay fit. C．To encourage people to do long-time outdoor exercise. 考点04推理判断题 一、（2026年湖南省中考英语试题） ①AI is used to help solve problems in many fields now. Here’s how it helps save energy, protect animals, and reduce pollution. ②In many office buildings, people sometimes forget to turn off the lights or the air conditioners (空调). As a result, a lot of electricity is wasted. Thanks to AI, the problem can be solved. It learns what the temperature is and how many people are inside the buildings. Then it makes thousands of small changes to save electricity every day. No single change is big, but all of them together can make a big difference. ③Another problem is about hunting wild animals. You can’t imagine how many kinds of wild animals around the world are in danger now. Luckily, AI can collect all the data (数据) to learn from the past hunting events. Then it can guess where the hunters will go next. It was once used in a certain area, and the number of hunting events dropped from 19 a month to zero. ④How can AI help reduce pollution? To clean up plastic waste from the ocean, you first need to know where it is. However, it’s difficult because the ocean is too wide. But with satellites (人造卫星), AI can quickly make a map to show where the plastic is. This helps clean up the ocean much more efficiently, because the ships can be sent to the right places to collect the plastic waste quickly. ⑤However, none of these benefits come for free. Training AI also uses a lot of energy. So we should make wise choices. 4．What is the writer’s opinion about using AI? A．Old habits die hard. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Every coin has two sides. 二、（2026年湖南省中考英语试题） Will you chat with strangers (陌生人)? Some people would say no. However, research shows that starting a conversation with a stranger can make you enjoy your day more. One day after work, Emma saw a man who was sitting alone on a bench (长椅) in the park. She wanted to talk to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he would like to chat. She once tried speaking to a lady on a bench in a hospital, but the lady said sorry and refused politely. However, this man seemed sad, so Emma finally made a decision. She walked up to him and said hi. Then they began a long conversation. When they had to say goodbye, the man thanked Emma, “Your words warmed my heart and made my day.” His words also made Emma happy for the rest of the day. This experience gave Emma a good idea. The next day, she made signs to put up on the park benches, which said, “Happy-to-Chat Bench. Sit here if you don’t mind talking with others!” The idea soon became a great success. More and more people came to sit on the benches, waiting to be talked to. Now, “Happy-to-Chat Benches” can be found in many countries.

Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. 4．Which of the following would Emily most probably agree with? A．Use it or lose it. B．Old habits die hard. C．Giving is receiving. 四、（2025年湖南省中考英语真题） 3．Where can we read the text most probably? A．In a primary school. B．In a middle school.

When they sleep, only half of their brain goes to sleep. They sleep with one eye open to stay safe. Half of their brain sleeps for about two hours before the other half of their brain gets a chance to sleep. Sometimes, the dolphins will keep swimming while they are sleeping. Dolphins are not fish—they are mammals (哺乳动物). These mammals have lungs (肺). And they don’t have gills (腮) like fish. They are also warm-blooded and have to go to the surface of the water to get air into their lungs. Dolphins don’t lay eggs. Their young are born alive, and they drink milk from their mothers. Dolphins are one of the smartest animals in the world. There are many stories about how they save people out of water. They are able to solve many problems like humans. They can even use tools to catch fish. But their cleverness doesn’t end there. Dolphins can also pass on anything they learn to other dolphins, like interesting fishing skills. They communicate with each other in many ways. They use different sounds to talk to each other. Dolphins know the “voices” of other dolphins and even know exactly who is making which sound. Another thing that shows their cleverness is that they can also know themselves in a mirror (镜子) and check different parts of their body in it. 4．Which part of a magazine may the passage be taken from?

People from different countries are sharing videos of themselves trying to live like Chinese people. They drink warm water instead of cold, learn to make Chinese porridge, and even practice traditional Chinese exercises like Tai Chi. This trend, called “Be Chinese” online, isn’t about changing one’s nationality (国籍). It’s about embracing a different lifestyle. Many find it healthy and wise. A young lady from America said that drinking warm water helped treat her stomach problems. Another foreigner regards Baduanjin as a way to stay fit. On TikTok, people share their “Chinese life checklists” and encourage others to try. This cultural exchange is mainly led by common people online. Since the topic of “cultural check” appeared on Xiaohongshu, both Chinese and foreigners have shared their differences. This new form of communication is becoming more and more popular. People come together because of the wish for a better and healthier life. As one American netizen (网友) said, “We think being Chinese is cool and healthy.” What makes this trend special is how it shows a new side of China. For a long time, people around the world only knew some symbols like pandas, the Great Wall, or kung fu. Now, through daily life videos, they see a more modern and lively picture: convenient mobile payments, smart home apps, and useful life wisdom. These changes are helping to break people’s old views of China. As Chinese teenagers, we should take pride in this. We don’t force our culture on others. Instead, we share it with an open and understanding attitude. Let’s pass on our cultural treasures, tell good Chinese stories, and let the world see the beauty of China. 1．What does the underlined word “embracing” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Accepting. B．Refusing.

C．To explain how to make Chinese porridge and practice Tai Chi. 五、（湖南怀化市2026年6月初中学业水平适应性检测英语） Last summer, a trip to western Hunan with my parents opened a new world of local culture to me. I once imagined mountain villages as quiet and boring places, yet a unique folk art totally changed my impression—Miao painting. The small village we visited is well-known for this time-honored craft. As our guide introduced, Miao painting, a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), has existed for hundreds of years. With bright colors and plain lines, it vividly presents flowers, birds and various traditional stories of the Miao people. I was lucky enough to learn painting from an elderly master. Far from being an easy job, it brought me plenty of trouble at first. Messy lines and mismatched colors made me feel upset and even want to quit. “This art is more than just pictures. It records our history and expresses our love for life,” the master told me gently. After repeated attempts and careful changes, I finally finished a lovely phoenix (凤凰). Great pride filled my heart when I stared at my simple but meaningful work. As a precious treasure of Hunan culture, Miao painting carries the Miao people’s stories and spirits passed down through generations. It is hoped that more teenagers will know about it and keep this wonderful art alive. Truly, traditional culture shines brightly all the time. 1．How did the writer feel about mountain villages before the trip? A．Quiet and boring. B．Noisy and modern. C．Bright and lively. 2．What do we know about Miao Painting from the passage? A．It is a modern new art popular in big cities. B．It only describes beautiful flowers and lovely birds. C．It has a long history and shows rich cultural meanings. 3．What does the underlined word “quit” mean in Paragraph 3? A．cheer up. B．give up. C．show up. 4．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Miao Painting? A．Proud. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. 六、（湖南衡阳市一中教育集团2026年学业水平测试模拟试卷初三英语） NEW ZEALAND’S FISH OF THE YEAR: UGLY BUT INTERESTING Believe it or not, this special ugly fish, the blobfish (水滴鱼), was named Fish of the Year by a New Zealand environment group. Blobfish live very deep in the sea, about 1,200 meters below the surface. The pressure (压力) there is 100 times stronger than on land. With this strong pressure, they look just like common fish. When people bring blobfish out of the water, the pressure disappears. Their soft bodies lose their shape and turn into a soft “blob”.

When you’re feeling blue, petting animals is a good way to make you happier. But how do you pet animals? Different animals like different ways. Dogs like you to pet their heads, necks and shoulders. If you are petting a strange dog, you should come near to it slowly, get down to its height and hold out a closed fist for it to smell. After the dog smells you and its body becomes relaxed, you can slowly touch around its head and shoulder. Cats like people to pet their heads, chins and faces. When you are going to pet a cat, let it come near to you first. Sit down and put your hand out for it to smell. If it wants your gentle touch, it will get close to your body. Rabbits like you to pet their heads, shoulders and faces. Rabbits are easily afraid of people. So you should come near to them slowly, sit down on the ground and put out your hand for them to smell. If your rabbit comes near to you, use your hand to lightly pet its head. Pet birds lightly on the head and don’t touch other areas. Building trust with birds takes time, so come near to them slowly and watch for their body language. If they like you to pet them, they will keep quiet. Pets are really lovely animals. Pet and take care of them carefully, and they will bring you a lot of fun. 1．What parts do cats and rabbits both like people to pet? A．Their heads and ears. B．Their heads and faces.

Ancient China offers clear examples of people who achieved their success late in life. Jiang Ziya was born in the Shang Dynasty (商朝). Though he was talented (有天赋的) and had big dreams, he lived a hard life when he was young. His luck changed when he was over 70. He met Ji Chang, the future King of Zhou. Ji Chang thought highly of Jiang’s clear ideas and rich knowledge, and made him a high official (官员). Later, at over 80 years old, Jiang led the Zhou army to win a key war against the Shang Dynasty, helping build the 800-year Zhou Dynasty. Another example is Su Xun, a great writer from the Song Dynasty. Unlike most students who studied hard from an early age, Su Xun only started serious learning at 27. He once failed the imperial examinations (科举) many times, but he didn’t give up. He spent over 10 years reading and studying classic books. At 47, he went to the capital with his two sons. His articles quickly became popular, and the great writer Ouyang Xiu praised him highly. What’s more, his two sons both passed the top imperial examinations that year. These stories tell us no matter how old you are, hard work and persistence (坚持) can always lead to success. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing different reasons. B．By comparing different facts. C．By asking different questions. 2．What happened after Jiang Ziya met Ji Chang? A．He continued working as before. B．He was made a high official by Ji Chang. C．He became the king of the Shang Dynasty. 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE about 47-year-old Su Xun? A．His articles became very popular. B．He became Ouyang Xiu’s student. C．He passed the imperial examination. 4．What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A．Failure in youth means failure in life. B．Youth and talent lead to early success.

But for some students at Nanjing Foreign Language School, it is much more than just a common way to travel from one place to another. It brings them great joy. The school’s Transport Club was first set up in 2018 by a group of students who deeply love all kinds of public transportation. Now the club has many members, including 121 students studying in the school and 186 graduates who left the school years ago. Club members enjoy many interesting activities about different vehicles (交通工具), such as city buses, subways, common trains and planes. Usually, students share the best places for taking pictures of vehicles, and discuss different types and models. They even explore the past and present route (路线) plans of different lines sometimes. For example, they once looked at the subway lines in Nanjing. “Planning routes is harder than I thought,” said Li Zerui, 14. “People’s houses, busy areas, land and nature… We need to think about so many things.” Students also take interesting trips on new bus and subway lines and play a popular, “city chase” game. Two different teams travel around the whole city by public transport, finishing small tasks and catching up with each other to get more scores in the game. The club is not just for having fun. It helps students make more friends, learn good teamwork and know their own city much better.

But hundreds of years ago, people had a different problem—a 400-year cold period! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were colder and longer than they are now. Scientists call this time the “Little Ice Age”. The colder weather brought many serious problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for fires to keep their houses warm. And sometimes, a hard piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages. Scientists think the Little Ice Age was caused by forces that people could not control. One cause, in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are today. With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less energy, which made the earth colder. Volcanic eruption (火山爆发) was probably another natural cause. During the Little Ice Age, many volcanoes erupted. Their dust (灰尘) might stop the sun’s light and heat from reaching the earth. Today we are seeing the influences of rising temperature. Scientists think people are causing this change by burning a lot of coal and oil. So we need to change our way of living. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By making a comparison. 2．Why did people collect much wood during the Little Ice Age? A．To keep their house warm. B．To stop the spread of illness. C．To protect them from the hard ice. 3．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．Volcanic dust could make the earth warmer. B．Fewer sunspots meant less heat from the sun. C．People’s daily life caused a 400-year cold period. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．The secret of sunspots B．The terrible volcanic eruption C．The Little Ice age and climate change 十二、（2026年湖南娄底市九年级第二次学情调研试题英语）                          Ask Dr. Know-Solving Your School Problems I’m terrible at maths.

She often thought of the fight to save Beauty, a baby who was born with only 800 grams. She had weak lungs (肺) and could hardly breathe. It was believed that she couldn’t live long in a hospital short of necessary equipment (设备). “But even with the smallest chance, my team and I had to try our best,” said Wen. To keep the baby warm, Wen coated Beauty with a soft cloth. The most dangerous moment arrived when Beauty’s heart beat only 30 times a minute. Wen stayed close to Beauty to look after her carefully and patiently for almost five hours. Finally, Beauty was able to breathe by herself. By the time of her leaving hospital over two months later, Beauty weighed 2,050 grams. The medical team and her family celebrated the great moment with laughter and tears. Beauty’s mother held Wen’s hands and said, “I want my daughter to be a doctor like you.” During her stay in Africa, Wen helped thousands of patients. Wen traveled to faraway villages under a burning hot sun. Though she often felt tired after long traveling, she had no time to take a rest because the local people were lining up for help.

Scientists watched 184 sharks at Shark Reef Marine Reserve in Fiji over six years. The sharks were fed together inside a protected area and researchers could dive (潜水) down and watch them. The team recorded behaviours such as parallel swimming (平行游), sharks leading and following each other. And they noted how close together the sharks swam, especially when they stayed within about two metres of each other. They found that adult sharks have the most social connections. Both male (雄性) and female (雌性) bull sharks prefer to hang out with females. But males form more social connections in general because males are smaller than females. In this way, they can protect themselves from larger sharks. The researchers said bull sharks might get the same benefits from social connections as other animals, including learning new skills, finding food and mates and staying safe from predators, who may catch and kill them for food. “As humans, we develop different kinds of social relationships—from simple relationships to close relationships, but we also actively avoid certain people—and these bull sharks are doing similar things,” said Natasha D．Marosi, who led the research. The scientists said understanding how bull sharks interact (互动) can teach us more about how they live together and move around, which can help with protection efforts. 1．What have scientists discovered about bull sharks? A．They live alone. B．They have “friends”. C．They swim fast. 2．Why do the male sharks have more social connections? A．Because they want to find food easily. B．Because they are smaller than females. C．Because they prefer to hang out with females. 3．What does the underlined word “predators” mean? A．Enemies. B．Researchers. C．Divers. 4．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A．Culture. B．Geography. C．Science. 十五、（湖南省湘西州凤凰县2026年中考英语第二次模拟试卷） Firefighters have a new helper—a firefighting robot. The robot has a hose (水管), so it can spray (喷洒) water on fires.

For example, buildings may fall down, or the smoke may be very thick. In the past, firefighters had to go into these risky places. Now, the robot can go first. It helps put out fires and look for people without putting human lives in danger. The robot can also work for a long time without getting tired. The robot has already helped stop several big fires. With such helpful robots, firefighters can stay safer while saving more lives. 1．How does the robot firefighter “see” through thick smoke? A．By using a light. B．By spraying water.

C．A story book. 十六、（湖南省湘西州凤凰县2026年中考英语第二次模拟试卷） Does it seem that the things you say often make others unhappy? If so, maybe people are thinking that your English isn’t polite. Let’s learn how to avoid being rude (粗鲁的) and be polite in English! In English, when you make a request, it’s often considered rude to use the words such as “I want” and “I need”. They are very direct and sound impolite. For example, instead of saying “I want a cup of coffee”, you could make it sound more polite by adding some softening words like “I’d like a cup of coffee, please.” You’ll get your coffee and a smile, too. What’s more, people often do not like being told what to do. Try to replace phrases that sound like commands (命令) such as “Give me the newspaper.” To be more polite, you could make a request like “Can you pass me the newspaper, please?” In English, “Why don’t we…?” is a polite way of suggesting something when you are introducing a new idea that other people have not thought of. Or, you could use “Perhaps we could…” when you are not completely sure if it is a good idea. Last but not least, what if your friend gives you an invitation but you are not able to go? Instead of simply saying “No”, you could politely say “I’m afraid I can’t” to avoid offense.   So, if you’d like to be a nice person, learning how to be polite in English is necessary. 1．You may make a request like “________” to get what you want politely and pleasantly. A．I need a cup of tea. B．I’d like a cup of tea, please. C．Waiter, a cup of tea. 2．What should you say when you are uncertain whether your idea is good? A．Perhaps we could…. B．Certainly we must. C．Clearly we should. 3．When you turn down an invitation, simply saying “No” is________. A．wise B．indirect C．impolite 4．What might be the best title of this passage? A．Be polite in English B．Be proud in English C．Be brave in English 十七、（2026年湖南省湘潭市一模英语试题） Growing up in the countryside of Kenya, my mother, Bertha Ngumbi, repeated the same words daily: “Education is your only way to have a better life.” At first, my four sisters, my brothers and I refused, preferring childhood games to studies. But she kept on making us study-when we forgot homework, she punished us seriously. I remember at age 10, after being punished, I even wished she would fall ill so that she’d stop being so hard on us. Her strictness came from her hard life. She and my father were workers, making only $200 a month, and they worked tirelessly. Before sunrise, we’d work on our small farm; after school, we’d cook and study in the weak light of an oil lamp. The most painful memory is seeing them return from town—exhausted for using up all of their energy and hungry for having spent nothing on food to save more money for our schooling. “I could never eat while knowing you needed books,” she later told me. Her efforts greatly influenced us. My eldest brother Kennedy became a business owner; I made a Ph.D．; my sisters entered teaching and healthcare. When I asked why she never gave up, she explained, “I saw something in you-you are always wise and hard-working.” Today, though I’m a scientist thousands of miles away, her lessons remain. Every phone call still ends with her strict, loving reminder, “Are you working hard?” Though I once was angry with her strictness, I understand now it was love in its simplest form. Her efforts gave us wings-and for that, this daughter will forever be thankful. 1．Why did the children sometimes wish their mother would fall ill? A．They hated her strictness. B．They wanted her to have a rest. C．They thought she worked too hard. 2．What does the underlined word “exhausted” mean in paragraph 2? A．Rather angry. B．Very tired. C．Quite worried. 3．How were the children’s lives when they became adults? A．They stayed in their hometown. B．They all became famous scientists. C．They achieved success in different jobs. 4．What lesson can we learn from the passage? A．No pain, no gain. B．Practice makes perfect. C．East or west, home is best. 十八、（湖南省湘西州凤凰县2026年中考英语第一次模拟试卷） Changsha Ecological Zoo Opening TimeWinter hours (October 1-March 31): 10:00-16:00 every day Summer hours (April 1-September 30): 10:00-17:00 on weekdays 10:00-18:00 on weekends RulesDon’t feed any animals in the zoo.

This fact makes many people wonder: Will human writers disappear one day? When people talk about AI, they often worry about its problems. Some fear that AI-made fake (虚假的) videos would trick people and cause serious trouble. However, studies later showed that these fears were too strong. Although fake videos did increase people’s doubts, they did not actually cause the disasters that many expected. For writers and artists, the biggest worry is about jobs. AI can write faster than any human because it has learned from millions of texts. Many part-time writers who used to create blog posts and social media content (内容) have already lost their jobs. But AI writing is not as scary as it seems. First, AI is mainly used for simple and fixed writing, such as how-to guides, product descriptions, and news reports. It is not good at creative work that shows personal style and original (原创的) ideas. Second, AI itself learns from human writing, so it cannot truly take the place of human creativity. Interestingly, the line between human and AI writing is becoming unclear. Many writers now use AI as a tool. They may write a draft (草稿) first, let AI improve it, and then edit (编辑) it again. The writer of this article, for example, uses AI to check his English because it is not his first language. However, using AI too much has problems. Studies show that writers who depend heavily on AI often produce similar content. Their writing loses personal voice and follows Western patterns. This means original human writing will become even more valuable in the future. In short, AI is changing how we write, but it will not make human writers useless. Creative work with personal style remains important and necessary. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By listing a number. C．By making a comparison. 2．What can we know about AI writing from Paragraph 3? A．It works well for creative novels. B．It is mainly used for fixed writing tasks. C．It always does better than human writers. 3．What problem may writers face if they depend too much on AI? A．Their writings will lose personal voice. B．Their ability to write may be lost completely. C．Their ideas become more creative and original. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．How to Use AI to Write Better B．The History of AI Development C．AI Writing: Friend or Enemy? 二十、（2026年湖南娄底市中考二模英语试卷） Because of one pig, over 100, 000 people came together. It sounds unbelievable, but it really happened. In Hechuan District, Chongqing, a young woman called Dai Dai posted a short video online. Her parents were too old to hold down a pig for the Spring Festival tradition, so she asked the internet for help and promised to treat helpers to “Pao Zhu Tang” (a traditional soup after the pig was killed). She even joked that she hoped the road in front of her house would be crowded with cars. To everyone’s surprise, people from all over China came to help within days. Some drove overnight, some waited at the village entrance at dawn, and one even flew from Beijing. They brought local vegetables, spices and gifts, and worked together to hold the pig, wash vegetables, cut meat and cook soup. Local government soon joined in — traffic police, power workers and cultural teams all offered help. More pigs were prepared, big fires were lit, and fireworks lit up the night sky. What started as a family problem turned into a cultural festival. Hotels were fully booked, local products sold out, and tourism boomed. Beyond the amazing numbers, this event showed a deeper truth: In a fast digital world, warmth can still spread far, sincerity (真诚) can still bring people together, and one common person can light up a whole town. It all began with kindness and became an unforgettable memory. 1．Why did Dai Dai post a video online? A．To start a cultural festival. B．To ask for help from others.

I always finished tasks later than the schedule (日程表). I started homework at midnight and arrived at soccer practice late. On my 14th birthday, my aunt gave me a smart watch with a note: “Time is your friend.” I wondered how it could help. At first, I paid no attention to it. But one Monday, I overslept, missed the school bus, and forgot my science project. Feeling upset, I decided to make a change. I set a new schedule on the watch. To my surprise, it reminded (提醒) me: “8:00 a.m. tomorrow—Science project due (到期的). Pack it tonight!” Slowly, I began to trust the watch. It broke big tasks into small steps: “Math homework: 3 problems now, 3 after dinner.” It even celebrated my small progress with a smiley face. Days passed. My best friend was shocked when I arrived early for her birthday party. My mom, who once called me “an unorganized person”, said, “Keep it up.” The real test came with the English Speech Competition. The old me would have written the speech the night before. But the new me let the watch plan two weeks of practice. Backstage, my hands shook—then the watch vibrated (震动) softly with a message: “Breathe (呼吸). You’ve prepared 37 hours for this moment.” I smiled, walked onstage, and won first prize. Many people say technology makes us lazy. But for me, that little watch showed that I could learn to take control of my time and myself. 1．Who gave Emily the smart watch? A．Her aunt. B．Her friend. C．Her mother. 2．How did the smart watch help Emily? A．By waking her up every day. B．By solving the math problems. C．By breaking tasks into small steps. 3．Why did the watch vibrate backstage? A．To tell her to practice more. B．To remind her to go on stage. C．To encourage her to stay calm. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text? A．To explain how to prepare a speech. B．To show technology can help us grow. C．To tell smart watches win competitions. 二十五、（湖南省衡阳市2026年初中学业水平考试适应性测试英语） English Speech Competition Date & Time: June 25th, 1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. Place: School Hall Who to Join: All students Competition Groups: Group A: Grade 7 Group B: Grade 8 Group C: Grade 9 Competition Rounds: Round 1: Free Topic You can choose any topic you like.

He was in such a hurry to tell Alex something exciting that he didn’t look where he was going. He fell and Alex’s camera dropped from Alex’s hand. The lens (透镜) broke with a loud noise. Alex was very sad because it was special—a gift from his father for his thirteenth birthday. For two days, Alex stayed angry. His brother tried to say sorry, but Alex refused to listen. Leo walked around with his head down, feeling sorry for what he had done and thinking about how to make it right. Then one night, Leo brought his piggy bank and said, “I will help pay for the repair.” They took the camera to Mr. Chen, the repairman. After a quick check, he said, “This won’t be simple or cheap.” Hearing this, Alex and Leo went back home, feeling hopeless. That night, their parents knew about the accident and suggested that they do some chores around the house to get some money. What a good idea! The brothers worked hard and their effort was rewarded. They could afford the rest of the cost at last. They ran to Mr. Chen’s shop excitedly. There was only one day left before the school photo show, and Mr. Chen helped them repair the camera. “You can still see marks here,” he said, “but it works perfectly. Sometimes these give photographs more meaning.” Before the show, Alex was nervous. However, seeing Leo in the front row with his “Good Luck” sign made Alex calm down. As he took pictures, the camera even worked better than ever. After the show, he hugged Leo, realizing the broken camera had made them closer. 1．Why was the camera special to Alex? A．Because it was very expensive. B．Because it was a present from his father. C．Because it was a prize from the school show. 2．What did Leo do after he broke the camera? A．He bought a new one for Alex. B．He offered money to help repair it. C．He shared his own camera with Alex. 3．What do the underlined words “was rewarded” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Handed out. B．Turned out. C．Paid off. 4．What is the main idea of the story? A．A broken camera made the brothers closer. B．A school photo show brought students together. C．An accident at a camera shop offered a lesson. 二十七、（2026年湖南省永州市部分学校等中考二模英语试卷） Clouds are like nature’s weather reporters, and their shapes are closely connected to geography. Warm oceans, lakes or rivers provide enough wet air. High mountains make the warm air rise, and the water vapor in it turns into clouds. Clouds in different areas have special shapes. These shapes can help us know what the weather might be like in the next few hours or days. For example, in warm and wet places like southern China, soft and white cumulus clouds (积云) often mean sunny days are coming. But if these clouds grow taller and darker quickly, they may bring thunder (雷) and rain soon. This is because warm, wet air rises fast in these places, making clouds develop rapidly. In dry northern areas, thin and light cirrus clouds (卷云) high up in the sky are special. They show that a cold wind is on the way. Different natural places also create different cloud shapes and weather signs. Stratus (层云) clouds look like a thick grey blanket covering the whole sky. They often bring light rain. This is especially true near the sea, where there is plenty of water from the ocean. Near big forests, the air is full of moisture (水分) too, so clouds there are usually thick and easy to bring rain. On the grasslands, clouds are often low and spread out, telling us the weather will stay calm for a while. By watching cloud shapes and their changes carefully, we can tell the weather without phones or other tools. This helps us plan trips, outdoor activities and daily work better. It’s also a fun way to learn how the environment around us affects cloud shapes and the weather. With a little practice, we can get really good at reading cloud signs. Next time you go out, just look up at the clouds—nature is telling you the weather! How amazing it is! 1．What are clouds like according to the passage? A．Nature’s blankets. B．Nature’s rain makers. C．Nature’s weather reporters. 2．What may cumulus clouds bring if they grow taller and darker quickly? A．They may bring sunny days. B．They may bring a strong wind. C．They may bring thunder and rain soon. 3．Match the cloud types with their appearances according to the text. a. Cumulus clouds            ①Thin and light b. Cirrus clouds            ②Thick and grey c. Stratus clouds            ③Soft and white A．①-b; ②-c; ③-a B．①-c; ②-a; ③-b C．①-a; ②-b; ③-c 4．What is the writer’s opinion about using clouds to tell the weather? A．It makes weather prediction more confusing. B．It is a useful way to understand weather changes. C．It is an easy and enjoyable way that requires no practice. 二十八、（2026年湖南省永州市部分学校等中考二模英语试卷） 1．Where is the fire extinguisher in the lab? A．On the wall. B．By the door. C．Under the table. 2．Why are students not allowed to eat or drink in the lab? A．Because food may pollute lab tools. B．Because food will make the lab dirty. C．Because dangerous things may go into their bodies. 3．Who is the text mainly written for? A．Students. B．Scientists. C．Teachers. 二十九、（湖南省株洲市2026年初中学业水平调研考试英语试题卷） Two new studies found that babies are born with amazing abilities. In the first study, scientists in Ireland followed the brain activity of more than 100 babies. The babies lay on beds listening to soft songs as they were shown pictures of familiar things that fell into 12 different groups, including cats, dishes, trees, and food. While the babies looked at the pictures, the team used a kind of scan called an fMRI (功能磁共振成像) to watch the blood flow in their brains. The babies had a different kind of brain activity for each of the 12 groups, meaning they were putting the pictures into groups as they looked at them. The second study found that babies can predict simple musical rhythms (节奏) within 48 hours of being born. Scientists found out this by playing classical piano music to 49 sleeping babies and watching their brain activity. When the experts changed the rhythm of the music, the babies were surprised, showing that they knew the music did not progress as expected. However, when scientists mixed up the melodies (旋律), the babies didn’t react. This means that the babies were more aware of the rhythm than the melodies. Roberta Bianco, a scientist in Italy who led the study, said babies are used to hearing rhythmic sounds in the mother’s body, like their mother’s heartbeat or footsteps. “Rhythm may be part of our natural ability, while melody is something we grow into,” she said. 1．How doe$ 专题02 阅读理解 考点分类 湖南考情（2024-2026） 命题规律 考点01·细节理解题 2024年长沙卷：第1、2、3、4、7、8题； 2024年湖南卷：第21、22、23、24、25、26、28题；2025年长沙卷：第1、3、4、7、8、9题； 2025年湖南卷：第21、22、24、26、28、29、30； 2026年湖南卷：第21、22、23、24、25、28、29题 【命题规律】 占比最高（约50%-60%），主要考查对原文事实、数据、时间、地点等具体信息的直接提取或同义转述。设问多为“What/Where/When/Why”等疑问词。 【重点变化】 “跨栏比对”与“信息甄别”成为难点。2025-2026年非连续性文本（如表格、项目指南、邮件）大量涌现，单纯依赖“定位+抄写”失效。选项常设置“张冠李戴”或“数字混淆”（如将“每月两次”混淆为“每周两次”），要求学生在多模块间快速整合、转化并核对信息。 考点02·词义猜测题 2024年长沙卷：第9题 2024年湖南卷：第29题 2025年长沙卷：第5题 2025年湖南卷：第25题 2026年湖南卷：第30题 【命题规律】 每年必考1-2题，考查在特定语境下对生词、短语或指代关系（如it/they）的理解。命题通常利用上下文的并列、转折、因果逻辑作为提示线索。 【重点变化】 “熟词生义”与“情感态度词”成为考查新宠。不再局限于考纲外的生词（如destructive），频繁出现常见词在特定语境下的非常规含义（如updated“赋予新意”）。要求考生依托前后句子逻辑及作者的情感态度进行精准判断，而非机械依赖词典释义。 考点03主旨大意题 2024年长沙卷：第6题（文章主旨） 2024年湖南卷：第31题（文章主旨） 2025年长沙卷：第6题（主旨） 2025年湖南卷：第27题（主旨）、第31题（最佳标题） 【命题规律】 设问多为“What is the main idea?”、“What is the best title?”，考查对整段或全文核心思想的提炼与归纳。 【重点变化】 干扰项更侧重“以偏概全”或“细节陷阱”。正确选项必须能涵盖所有段落的核心，而非单一段落的内容。这对学生提炼段落主旨（尤其是小标题式阅读）的能力提出了更高要求，需要把握“总-分-总”等篇章结构的逻辑骨架，避免被局部细节迷惑。 考点04 推理判断题 2024年长沙卷：第5题（作者态度）、第10题（写作目的） 2024年湖南卷：第27题（文章出处）、第30题（段落目的） 2025年长沙卷：第10题（观点态度） 2025年湖南卷：第23题（阅读场景/对象） 2026年湖南卷：第26题（人物品质）、第27题（文章出处）、第31题（作者观点） 【命题规律】 题干常含“infer/suggest/opinion/purpose”等词，考查作者隐含态度、写作目的，或要求判断文章的文体出处及面向读者群。 【重点变化】 “文章出处”题频次显著上升。新题经常提问“In which part of a magazine can you read this?”，选项给出“Music、History、Society、Nature”等板块。这要求学生在读懂内容的基础上，必须具备宏观的文体辨析能力，能够识别科普文、叙事文、广告或社会报道的文本功能特征。 考点01 细节理解题 一、（2026·湖南·中考真题） 【答案】1．C 2．B 二、（2026年湖南省中考英语试题） 【答案】1．B

many fields now. Here’s how it helps save energy, protect animals, and reduce pollution. ②In many office buildings, people sometimes forget to turn off the lights or the air conditioners (空调). As a result, a lot of electricity is wasted. Thanks to AI, the problem can be solved. It learns what the temperature is and how many people are inside the buildings. Then it makes thousands of small changes to save electricity every day. No single change is big, but all of them together can make a big difference. ③Another problem is about hunting wild animals. You can’t imagine how many kinds of wild animals around the world are in danger now. Luckily, AI can collect all the data (数据) to learn from the past hunting events. Then it can guess where the hunters will go next. It was once used in a certain area, and the number of hunting events dropped from 19 a month to zero. ④How can AI help reduce pollution? To clean up plastic waste from the ocean, you first need to know where it is. However, it’s difficult because the ocean is too wide. But with satellites (人造卫星), AI can quickly make a map to show where the plastic is. This helps clean up the ocean much more efficiently, because the ships can be sent to the right places to collect the plastic waste quickly. ⑤However, none of these benefits come for free. Training AI also uses a lot of energy. So we should make wise choices. 1．What energy can AI help save in the office buildings? A．Gas. B．Water. C．Electricity. 2．Which paragraph talks about how AI helps protect wild animals? A．Paragraph 2. B．Paragraph 3. C．Paragraph 4. 【答案】1．C 2．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在解决环境和生态问题方面的积极作用及其潜在的代价。 【详解】1．根据第二段内容“people sometimes forget to turn off the lights or the air conditioners...a lot of electricity is wasted...save electricity every day”可知，人们忘记关灯或空调会导致电力浪费，而AI可以帮助节约电能。 2．第三段首句明确指出“Another problem is about hunting wild animals.”，随后讲述了AI如何通过收集数据来预测狩猎者行踪从而保护野生动物，因此该段对应Paragraph 3。 二、（2026年湖南省中考英语试题） Project Grow Vegetables in Pots Why Grow in Pots?

Some people would say no. However, research shows that starting a conversation with a stranger can make you enjoy your day more. One day after work, Emma saw a man who was sitting alone on a bench (长椅) in the park. She wanted to talk to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he would like to chat. She once tried speaking to a lady on a bench in a hospital, but the lady said sorry and refused politely. However, this man seemed sad, so Emma finally made a decision. She walked up to him and said hi. Then they began a long conversation. When they had to say goodbye, the man thanked Emma, “Your words warmed my heart and made my day.” His words also made Emma happy for the rest of the day. This experience gave Emma a good idea. The next day, she made signs to put up on the park benches, which said, “Happy-to-Chat Bench. Sit here if you don’t mind talking with others!” The idea soon became a great success.

Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. 1．Why did Emily volunteer in Africa? A．She lived a really difficult life at home. B．She hoped to learn a new language there. C．She wanted to experience something new. 2．How were the African kids in Emily’s eyes in Paragraph 2? A．Quite teachable. B．Hard to deal with. C．Bored of learning. 3．What does Emily get from her volunteering experience? A．The freedom to choose a well-paid job.

Have you ever noticed them? Insects are very interesting animals. They may be small, but they are smart and hard-working. Scientists have studied different kinds of insects very closely. According to their studies, even the smallest insects have tools to help do their work. Have you ever seen a little fly called a sawfly? It gets such a name because it has a s aw (锯子) that is used on plants to create a safe space for its eggs. After laying its eggs, the sawfly makes some glue. The glue fixes the eggs to where they are laid. Another insect that has its own natural tool is the poppy bee (蜂). The bees live in wood. Like people who make things out of wood, poppy bees use special tools to dig nests (巢穴) out of wood. They dig and clean out the nest to make it ready for use. When all is ready, poppy bees cut out pieces of leaves in the shape of a nest. They then join the pieces together and put them into the nest. Ants are also known for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water so that they take in the water. Then the ants carry them back to their nests. There are more insects than any other living things in the world. Every insect is special. The more you notice them, the more they will surprise you. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By making comparisons. 2．What can we know about poppy bees from paragraph 3? A．They clean their nests with big leaves. B．They pot pieces of leaves around nests. C．They dig nests before cutting out leaves. 3．Which of the following use leaves to take in water according to the text? A．Sawflies. B．Poppy bees.

Shortly after, I noticed four young people sitting at a table near me. After simply greeting each other and ordering, they all looked at their phones and continued to do so until their orders arrived. After photographing their food, they ate, continuing to look at their phones. I was wondering why they came here to eat together. They were phubbing, or phone snubbing (冷落), a very common problem these days. You may not know the word “phubbing”, but this kind of act is not strange to you. In fact, 32% of people report that they are phubbed two or three times a day. Do you have a conversation on your phone while talking to another person face to face? Do you scroll (上下滑动) through your phone while eating with someone for fear of missing out? If your answer is yes to either of them, you might be a “phubber”. The writer of The Psychology of Phubbing did a survey and found that the influence of phubbing on relationships can be very harmful or destructive. For example, children felt that parents who phubbed them didn’t care about them. This led to a feeling of being left out. Also, partners who were phubbed might be less satisfied with the relationship because of jealousy (嫉妒) and worries. Phubbing is a learned act, so unlearning it is possible. Start by accepting the problem. Set a time limit (限制) for not using your phone. Create areas where phones are off-limits. Don’t let the modern technology which is designed (设计) to bring people together separate you from others. 1．What did the four young people keep doing before their orders arrived? A．Greeting each other. B．Looking at their phones. C．Photographing their food. 2．How does the writer introduce the word “phubber” in Paragraph 3? A．By raising questions. B．By listing numbers.

Do you scroll (上下滑动) through your phone while eating with someone for fear of missing out?”可知，作者在第三段通过提出问题介绍“phubber”这个词。故选A。 七、（2025年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） 1．Who will decide on the food for the party in the to-do list?

They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every ten kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise. Do you know how we hear? There are cells (细胞) inside the ears that help us hear. We can’t see them with our eyes. “We call them hair cells,” Jackie Clark said. “They look like hairs standing up.” Clark is a scientist at the University of Texas. She studies noises and ears. Sound cannot be seen, but it can make the hair cells move back and forward. Think of the wind in the leaves. Loud noises can damage (损伤) these cells. And once the cells are damaged, they don’t grow back. Sometimes there’s tinnitus. “It’s like someone is playing a note on the flute (长笛) for a long time,” Clark says. It shows we’re losing hearing. Tinnitus is not only harmful to our ears, also it can make us feel uneasy. That’s why it’s necessary to protect our ears. How can we protect our ears? We’d better keep the volume low when we use our headphones. We should be able to hear sounds around us. And other people shouldn’t hear noise from our headphones. “If I can hear what you’re listening to when you’re wearing your headphones,” Clark says, “it’s too loud.” To protect our ears, keep our headphones at about half volume. 1．What can we know about hair cells? A．They help us hear. B．They look like hairs lying down. C．They can be seen clearly with our eyes. 【答案】1．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了耳机很有用，但是它也会导致听力丧失，所以文章建议我们要合理使用耳机。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“There are cells (细胞) inside the ears that help us hear. We can’t see them with our eyes. ‘We call them hair cells,’ Jackie Clark said.”可知，毛细胞帮助我们听到声音。故选A。 十二、（2024·湖南·中考真题） Would you be able to sleep with one eye open? Bottlenose dolphins (宽吻海豚) can. When they sleep, only half of their brain goes to sleep. They sleep with one eye open to stay safe. Half of their brain sleeps for about two hours before the other half of their brain gets a chance to sleep. Sometimes, the dolphins will keep swimming while they are sleeping. Dolphins are not fish—they are mammals (哺乳动物). These mammals have lungs (肺). And they don’t have gills (腮) like fish. They are also warm-blooded and have to go to the surface of the water to get air into their lungs. Dolphins don’t lay eggs. Their young are born alive, and they drink milk from their mothers. Dolphins are one of the smartest animals in the world. There are many stories about how they save people out of water. They are able to solve many problems like humans. They can even use tools to catch fish. But their cleverness doesn’t end there. Dolphins can also pass on anything they learn to other dolphins, like interesting fishing skills. They communicate with each other in many ways. They use different sounds to talk to each other. Dolphins know the “voices” of other dolphins and even know exactly who is making which sound. Another thing that shows their cleverness is that they can also know themselves in a mirror (镜子) and check different parts of their body in it. 1．Why do bottlenose dolphins sleep with one eye open? A．To stay safe. B．To sleep for two hours. C．To swim faster. 2．What can we learn about dolphins from paragraph 2? A．They use gills to get air. B．They are warm-blooded. C．They lay eggs like fish. 3．How do dolphins talk to each other? A．By learning fishing skills. B．By using different sounds. C．By checking their bodies. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了海豚的三个特点。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“They sleep with one eye open to stay safe.”可知，海豚睡觉时睁着一只眼睛是为了保证安全。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“They are also warm-blooded and have to go to the surface of the water to get air into their lungs.”可知，海豚是温血动物。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“They use different sounds to talk to each other.”可知，海豚通过使用不同的声音互相交谈。故选B。 十三、（2024·湖南长沙·中考真题） The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind. But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now. Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather. After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons. “I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.” 1．What do we know about The Four Seasons? A．It is still unpopular now. B．It was written by Hache Costa. C．It was first played about 300 years ago. 2．What will come to mind when we listen to the old “Autumn” according to the passage? A．Forest fires and dry weather. B．A harvest celebration. C．A hot lazy day. 【答案】1．C 2．B 【导语】本文主要介绍意大利音乐家创作了《四季》，现在西班牙音乐总监哈奇·科斯塔决定给这部老作品赋予一种新鲜感，他希望更多的人真正意识到气候变化的影响。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago.”可知，意大利音乐家安东尼奥·维瓦尔第创作的《四季》首次演奏是在大约300年前。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“When you listen to ‘Autumn’, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind.”可知，当你听到“秋天”时，你会很容易想到丰收的庆祝。故选B。 十四、（2024·湖南长沙·中考真题） What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout.

Here’s how it helps save energy, protect animals, and reduce pollution. ②In many office buildings, people sometimes forget to turn off the lights or the air conditioners (空调). As a result, a lot of electricity is wasted. Thanks to AI, the problem can be solved. It learns what the temperature is and how many people are inside the buildings. Then it makes thousands of small changes to save electricity every day. No single change is big, but all of them together can make a big difference. ③Another problem is about hunting wild animals. You can’t imagine how many kinds of wild animals around the world are in danger now. Luckily, AI can collect all the data (数据) to learn from the past hunting events. Then it can guess where the hunters will go next. It was once used in a certain area, and the number of hunting events dropped from 19 a month to zero. ④How can AI help reduce pollution? To clean up plastic waste from the ocean, you first need to know where it is. However, it’s difficult because the ocean is too wide. But with satellites (人造卫星), AI can quickly make a map to show where the plastic is. This helps clean up the ocean much more efficiently, because the ships can be sent to the right places to collect the plastic waste quickly. ⑤However, none of these benefits come for free. Training AI also uses a lot of energy. So we should make wise choices. 3．Which words are closest in meaning to “efficiently” in Paragraph 4? A．Easily and quickly. B．Quietly and simply. C．Safely and cheaply. 【答案】 3．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在解决环境和生态问题方面的积极作用及其潜在的代价。 【详解】3．根据第四段下文“...because the ships can be sent to the right places to collect the plastic waste quickly.”，可以推断出efficiently意为“高效地”，文中AI可快速定位海洋垃圾，船只能够精准、快速清运，兼顾便捷与速度，因此“Easily and quickly”词义最为贴近。 二、（2025年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） One morning, I stopped at my favorite restaurant to get something to eat and got comfortable at a small table. Shortly after, I noticed four young people sitting at a table near me. After simply greeting each other and ordering, they all looked at their phones and continued to do so until their orders arrived. After photographing their food, they ate, continuing to look at their phones. I was wondering why they came here to eat together. They were phubbing, or phone snubbing (冷落), a very common problem these days. You may not know the word “phubbing”, but this kind of act is not strange to you. In fact, 32% of people report that they are phubbed two or three times a day. Do you have a conversation on your phone while talking to another person face to face? Do you scroll (上下滑动) through your phone while eating with someone for fear of missing out? If your answer is yes to either of them, you might be a “phubber”. The writer of The Psychology of Phubbing did a survey and found that the influence of phubbing on relationships can be very harmful or destructive. For example, children felt that parents who phubbed them didn’t care about them. This led to a feeling of being left out. Also, partners who were phubbed might be less satisfied with the relationship because of jealousy (嫉妒) and worries. Phubbing is a learned act, so unlearning it is possible. Start by accepting the problem. Set a time limit (限制) for not using your phone. Create areas where phones are off-limits. Don’t let the modern technology which is designed (设计) to bring people together separate you from others. 3．What does the underlined word “destructive” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．微乎其微的 B．积极正向的 C．有破坏性的 【答案】 3．C 【导语】本文介绍了低头族现象和“phubbing”这个词的来源，并倡导人们减少使用手机的时间去做其他有意义的事情。 【详解】3．词句猜测题。根据“...found that the influence of phubbing on relationships can be very harmful or destructive”可知，此处destructive与“harmful”语意相近，故选C。 三、（2025年湖南省中考英语真题） The Tan family, from Hunan, was new to the block and Mrs. Tan loved to cook. Her family enjoyed her stinky tofu (臭豆腐), so she cooked it twice a week. One afternoon, they heard a knock on the door. It was from the community workers. They had received a complaint (投诉) from the Tans’ neighbors, the Lees, about the smell of the stinky tofu. Mrs. Tan said sorry and decided that she would close the kitchen window the next time. That was what she did the following week. However, the community worker came to them again for the same problem. “I have closed the kitchen WINDOWS!” she said in anger. “Actually I can’t stand the habit of eating durians (榴莲). The smell of the durians is too strong for me.” The community worker then decided to call for a meeting with the durians at the beginning. Both Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Lee had a scowl on the faces. They even didn’t look at each other. The community worker explained the disagreement. He suggested that the Tans can eat stinky tofu twice a month. Similarity, the Lees should try to eat durians weeks. Mrs. Tan agreed and even invited Mrs. Lee to taste her stinky tofu. After a month, the community worker met up with both families to see if they got any progress. Mrs. Lee was full of praise, “Your tofu tastes so good! You are a good cook, Mrs. Lee. Shall I bring some durians for you next time You might love them”. “Perhaps.” said Mrs. Tan politely. From then on, they learned to accept their likes and dislikes. 2．What do the underlined words “a scowl” in paragraph 5 mean? A．A shy look. B．An angry look. C．A satisfied lock 【答案】 2．B 【导语】本文讲述了谭家和李家因饮食习惯差异引发邻里矛盾，最终在社区工作人员的调解下学会互相理解与包容的故事。 【详解】2．词义猜测题。根据“They even didn’t look at each other.”和上下文冲突情境可知，“a scowl”是指生气的表情。故选B。 四、（2024年湖南省中考英语真题） Headphones are helpful. Many kids use them. But headphones can be harmful, too. They can cause hearing loss if the volume (音量) is too loud. Studies show that one out of every ten kids in the United States has some hearing loss. The cause is loud noise. Do you know how we hear? There are cells (细胞) inside the ears that help us hear. We can’t see them with our eyes. “We call them hair cells,” Jackie Clark said. “They look like hairs standing up.” Clark is a scientist at the University of Texas. She studies noises and ears. Sound cannot be seen, but it can make the hair cells move back and forward. Think of the wind in the leaves. Loud noises can damage (损伤) these cells. And once the cells are damaged, they don’t grow back. Sometimes there’s tinnitus. “It’s like someone is playing a note on the flute (长笛) for a long time,” Clark says. It shows we’re losing hearing. Tinnitus is not only harmful to our ears, also it can make us feel uneasy. That’s why it’s necessary to protect our ears. How can we protect our ears? We’d better keep the volume low when we use our headphones. We should be able to hear sounds around us. And other people shouldn’t hear noise from our headphones. “If I can hear what you’re listening to when you’re wearing your headphones,” Clark says, “it’s too loud.” To protect our ears, keep our headphones at about half volume. 2．What does the underlined word “tinnitus” mean in Paragraph 3? A．A musical voice. B．A kind of instrument. C．Ringing in ears. 【答案】 2．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了耳机很有用，但是它也会导致听力丧失，所以文章建议我们要合理使用耳机。 【详解】2．词义猜测题。根据“‘It’s like someone is playing a note on the flute (长笛) for a long time,’ Clark says.”可知，这就像有人在笛子上很长时间吹一个音符，即耳朵有时有耳鸣现象。故推测划线单词应该是“耳鸣”的意思。故选C。 五、（2024年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） The Four Seasons, written by the Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi, was first played about 300 years ago. Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind. But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now. Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather. After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons. “I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.” 3．Which is close to the underlined word “updated” in meaning in Paragraph 4? A．提上日程 B．追根溯源 C．赋予新意 【答案】 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍意大利音乐家创作了《四季》，现在西班牙音乐总监哈奇·科斯塔决定给这部老作品赋予一种新鲜感，他希望更多的人真正意识到气候变化的影响。 【详解】3．词句猜测题。根据“Costa has ‘updated’ the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world.”可知，使其符合现代世界的现实，所以是给这部音乐作品“赋予新意”，故选C。 考点03主旨大意题 一、（2025年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） One morning, I stopped at my favorite restaurant to get something to eat and got comfortable at a small table.

Have you ever noticed them? Insects are very interesting animals. They may be small, but they are smart and hard-working. Scientists have studied different kinds of insects very closely. According to their studies, even the smallest insects have tools to help do their work. Have you ever seen a little fly called a sawfly? It gets such a name because it has a s aw (锯子) that is used on plants to create a safe space for its eggs. After laying its eggs, the sawfly makes some glue. The glue fixes the eggs to where they are laid. Another insect that has its own natural tool is the poppy bee (蜂). The bees live in wood. Like people who make things out of wood, poppy bees use special tools to dig nests (巢穴) out of wood. They dig and clean out the nest to make it ready for use. When all is ready, poppy bees cut out pieces of leaves in the shape of a nest. They then join the pieces together and put them into the nest. Ants are also known for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water so that they take in the water. Then the ants carry them back to their nests. There are more insects than any other living things in the world. Every insect is special. The more you notice them, the more they will surprise you. 4．What can be the best title for the text?

Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout. What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it! 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To change traditional eating habits. B．To introduce an inventive new way to stay fit. C．To encourage people to do long-time outdoor exercise. 【答案】4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍零食式锻炼。 【详解】4．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍零食式锻炼，是一种新颖的健身方式。故选B。 考点04推理判断题 一、（2026年湖南省中考英语试题） ①AI is used to help solve problems in many fields now. Here’s how it helps save energy, protect animals, and reduce pollution. ②In many office buildings, people sometimes forget to turn off the lights or the air conditioners (空调).

Then it makes thousands of small changes to save electricity every day. No single change is big, but all of them together can make a big difference. ③Another problem is about hunting wild animals. You can’t imagine how many kinds of wild animals around the world are in danger now. Luckily, AI can collect all the data (数据) to learn from the past hunting events. Then it can guess where the hunters will go next. It was once used in a certain area, and the number of hunting events dropped from 19 a month to zero. ④How can AI help reduce pollution?

But with satellites (人造卫星), AI can quickly make a map to show where the plastic is. This helps clean up the ocean much more efficiently, because the ships can be sent to the right places to collect the plastic waste quickly. ⑤However, none of these benefits come for free.

Some people would say no. However, research shows that starting a conversation with a stranger can make you enjoy your day more. One day after work, Emma saw a man who was sitting alone on a bench (长椅) in the park. She wanted to talk to him, but she wasn’t sure whether he would like to chat. She once tried speaking to a lady on a bench in a hospital, but the lady said sorry and refused politely. However, this man seemed sad, so Emma finally made a decision. She walked up to him and said hi. Then they began a long conversation. When they had to say goodbye, the man thanked Emma, “Your words warmed my heart and made my day.” His words also made Emma happy for the rest of the day. This experience gave Emma a good idea. The next day, she made signs to put up on the park benches, which said, “Happy-to-Chat Bench. Sit here if you don’t mind talking with others!” The idea soon became a great success. More and more people came to sit on the benches, waiting to be talked to. Now, “Happy-to-Chat Benches” can be found in many countries. So, next time you see someone sitting alone, give them a smile and say hello. They might be happy to talk to you.

Some of my friends asked me, “Don’t you miss your home, Emily?” I told them I was the only child in my family and I truly had an easy life at home. However, I got bored of having a “good” time at home and needed a change. The kids from Africa were eager (渴望的) to learn and easy to teach. I was surprised at how smart they were. Talking with them made me think a lot. When you come from a poor area, you must grow up fast and deal with all kinds of difficult situations. Volunteering has always been easy for me because I don’t like to do the same things every day. My job also gives me the freedom to choose when and where I work. Although I don’t get paid for volunteering, I’m old enough to know that money is not the only way to get rewarded (回报). The experience itself is priceless. I make lots of connections with good people. Also, when I volunteer, I often work with people who are worse off than I am. That has taught me to practice thankfulness for what I have. Believe me, this life lesson is worth a million dollars. I am not a perfect person. In a sense, I think I’m selfish (自私的). But you don’t have to be a perfect, selfless person to volunteer. In fact, I have benefited (受益) a lot from volunteering. Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too. The biggest benefit of volunteering is that it helps you develop your character (品质), and that’s the passport to a rich and meaningful life. 4．Which of the following would Emily most probably agree with? A．Use it or lose it. B．Old habits die hard. C．Giving is receiving. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文讲述了Emily作为一名志愿者在非洲教授英语的经历。 【详解】4．推理判断题。根据“Volunteering helps others, and it can also help yourself, too”可知Emily认为做志愿者既能帮助别人，也能帮助自己，即付出就是收获。故选C。 四、（2025年湖南省中考英语真题） 3．Where can we read the text most probably?

When they sleep, only half of their brain goes to sleep. They sleep with one eye open to stay safe. Half of their brain sleeps for about two hours before the other half of their brain gets a chance to sleep. Sometimes, the dolphins will keep swimming while they are sleeping. Dolphins are not fish—they are mammals (哺乳动物). These mammals have lungs (肺). And they don’t have gills (腮) like fish. They are also warm-blooded and have to go to the surface of the water to get air into their lungs. Dolphins don’t lay eggs. Their young are born alive, and they drink milk from their mothers. Dolphins are one of the smartest animals in the world. There are many stories about how they save people out of water. They are able to solve many problems like humans. They can even use tools to catch fish. But their cleverness doesn’t end there. Dolphins can also pass on anything they learn to other dolphins, like interesting fishing skills. They communicate with each other in many ways. They use different sounds to talk to each other. Dolphins know the “voices” of other dolphins and even know exactly who is making which sound.

Since then, it has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The great musical work includes four parts: “Spring”, “Summer”, “Autumn” and ‘‘Winter”. Each part brings to mind the season it is meant to describe. “Summer”, for example, begins slowly. Listeners can easily picture a hot, lazy summer day when nobody wants to move. When you listen to “Autumn”, a harvest (收获) celebration will readily come to mind. But now, Hache Costa, a music director in Spain, has decided to give the old work a fresh feel. He says the climate (气候) today is very different from what it was in the 1700s. The Four Seasons would be “a lot dirtier” if it were written now. Costa has “updated” the musical work to make it match the realities of the modern world. The ‘“updated” musical work has been played in Madrid, Spain. The performance takes place in front of a screen. As the musicians play, a video shows the effects (影响) of climate change, such as forest fires and unusually dry weather. After enjoying it, people find the new “Summer” now sounds noisier and more powerful. Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel “really sad” after listening to the new Four Seasons. “I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet,” says Costa. “And I believe Vivaldi would not be angry with my changes.” 4．Why did Hache Costa give the old work a fresh feel? A．To call on more people to love music. B．To raise public awareness of climate change. C．To present the story of Antonio Vivaldi’s colorful life. 【答案】4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍意大利音乐家创作了《四季》，现在西班牙音乐总监哈奇·科斯塔决定给这部老作品赋予一种新鲜感，他希望更多的人真正意识到气候变化的影响。 【详解】4．推理判断题。根据“Because of global warming (全球变暖), the other three seasons have become shorter. Costa says he expects people to feel ‘really sad’ after listening to the new Four Seasons.”和“I really want more people to become truly aware of (意识到) what is happening to our planet.”可知，由于全球变暖，其他三个季节变短了。科斯塔说，他预计人们在听了新的《四季》之后会感到“非常难过”。作者希望更多的人真正意识到我们的星球正在发生什么。由此可知，Hache Costa给老作品带来新鲜感是为了提高公众对气候变化的认识。故选B。 八、（2024年湖南省长沙市中考英语真题） What should you do when you can’t find the time to do a long workout? Have you heard of exercise snacks (零食式锻炼)? Exercise snacks are a popular and inventive new way for people to stay fit. Instead of spending hours on the playground, people break that “large meal” into exercise “snacks”. These exercises can last anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes. Then you can have a rest for 30 minutes to four hours before another snack. It is reported that exercise snacks can be as useful as traditional exercise methods. Just three exercise snacks a day can benefit (使受益) your physical health. Besides that, there are lots of other benefits. Your concentration (专注力) and creativity get better, and you can become more productive. Also, “snacking” throughout the day stops you from sitting too long. There are so many acceptable exercise snacks, like doing sit-ups, jumping rope or running up and down some stairs (楼梯). But for those who don’t know where to start, here are some helpful exercise choices: Exercises such as lifting weights will satisfy the needs. Since most people don’t keep weights at their offices, lift full water bottles. Squats (深蹲) — moving your body as if to sit down while keeping your back straight. Five to ten of these should make a good snack. For those who don’t like traditional exercises, simply turn up the music. Pick a lively song and start dancing. It’ll make for a fun workout. What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it! 【答案】3．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍零食式锻炼。 【详解】3．推理判断题。根据“What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving. Your body will thank you for it!”可知，作者对零食式锻炼持支持的态度，故选C。 一、（湖南永州市2026年中考第二次模拟考试英语试卷） Sleep is not a single state but some repeating cycles. There are two main types of sleep: NREM (non-rapid eye movement) sleep which includes three stages and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. NREM stage 1: a short period between wakefulness and sleep. Your breathing and brain waves slow down, and muscles (肌肉) may twitch (抽动). NREM stage 2: light sleep. You spend more time here than in any other stage. Your heart rate (心率) and breathing slow further, eye movements stop, and body temperature drops a little. You can be easily woken. NREM stage 3: deep sleep. Breathing and heart rate reach their lowest levels. Muscles are fully relaxed, and it is hard to wake you. Sleepwalking and sleeptalking mainly happen here. REM sleep: After moving through NREM Stages 1, 2, 3 and then backward to Stage 1 (a 70~90 minute period), you enter REM sleep (a 5~15 minute period). During REM sleep, your eyes move rapidly from side to side. Most vivid (逼真的) dreams happen here, though dreams also happen in NREM sleep. This cycle repeats through the whole night. 1．In which NREM stage do people spend the most time? A．Stage 1. B．Stage 2. C．Stage 3. 2．What happens during NREM stage 3? A．Your eyes move rapidly. B．Your muscles may twitch. C．Your breathing reaches its lowest level. 3．How long does a REM sleep period last? A．5~15 minutes. B．70~90 minutes. C．75~105 minutes. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了睡眠分为NREM睡眠（含三个阶段）和REM睡眠两种类型。 【详解】1．“NREM stage 2: light sleep. You spend more time here than in any other stage.”指出，人们在NREM第二阶段花费的时间最多。 2．“NREM stage 3: deep sleep. Breathing and heart rate reach their lowest levels.”指出，NREM第三阶段为深度睡眠，呼吸和心率达到最低水平。 3．根据“REM sleep”中“you enter REM sleep (a 5~15 minute period)”可知，REM睡眠期持续5~15分钟。 二、（湖南怀化市2026年6月初中学业水平适应性检测英语） The Movies at Star Cinema Time: July 1st — July 30th     Saturday — Monday 8:00 a.m.     10:30 a.m.     2:30 p.m.     7:00 p.m.Length: two hours and ten minutes Ticket price: ¥30 per child or adult ¥100 for four tickets (family package) The Rise of the Great Sage tells us that we should stick to our beliefs and never give up when facing difficulties.

A new trend (潮流) is sweeping social media all over the world. People from different countries are sharing videos of themselves trying to live like Chinese people. They drink warm water instead of cold, learn to make Chinese porridge, and even practice traditional Chinese exercises like Tai Chi. This trend, called “Be Chinese” online, isn’t about changing one’s nationality (国籍). It’s about embracing a different lifestyle. Many find it healthy and wise. A young lady from America said that drinking warm water helped treat her stomach problems. Another foreigner regards Baduanjin as a way to stay fit. On TikTok, people share their “Chinese life checklists” and encourage others to try. This cultural exchange is mainly led by common people online. Since the topic of “cultural check” appeared on Xiaohongshu, both Chinese and foreigners have shared their differences. This new form of communication is becoming more and more popular. People come together because of the wish for a better and healthier life. As one American netizen (网友) said, “We think being Chinese is cool and healthy.” What makes this trend special is how it shows a new side of China. For a long time, people around the world only knew some symbols like pandas, the Great Wall, or kung fu. Now, through daily life videos, they see a more modern and lively picture: convenient mobile payments, smart home apps, and useful life wisdom. These changes are helping to break people’s old views of China. As Chinese teenagers, we should take pride in this. We don’t force our culture on others. Instead, we share it with an open and understanding attitude. Let’s pass on our cultural treasures, tell good Chinese stories, and let the world see the beauty of China. 1．What does the underlined word “embracing” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Accepting. B．Refusing.

Many find it healthy and wise.”提示人们对该生活方式持积极态度，正在尝试并采纳它。“embracing”与accepting“接受”意思相近。 2．第二段“Many find it healthy and wise.”和第三段“We think being Chinese is cool and healthy.”提示外国人想要像中国人一样生活是因为他们认为这种生活方式明智且健康。 3．第三段“This cultural exchange is mainly led by common people online.”和第四段“Now, through daily life videos, they see a more modern and lively picture...”提到这种文化交流主要由网上的普通民众引领，并且“中式生活”还通过日常生活视频展现，由此可知这种潮流通过人们日常的线上分享传播开来。 4．最后一句“Let’s pass on our cultural treasures, tell good Chinese stories, and let the world see the beauty of China.”点明主旨，呼吁中国人传递我们的文化瑰宝，讲好中国故事，让世界看到中国的美。 五、（湖南怀化市2026年6月初中学业水平适应性检测英语） Last summer, a trip to western Hunan with my parents opened a new world of local culture to me. I once imagined mountain villages as quiet and boring places, yet a unique folk art totally changed my impression—Miao painting. The small village we visited is well-known for this time-honored craft. As our guide introduced, Miao painting, a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), has existed for hundreds of years. With bright colors and plain lines, it vividly presents flowers, birds and various traditional stories of the Miao people. I was lucky enough to learn painting from an elderly master. Far from being an easy job, it brought me plenty of trouble at first. Messy lines and mismatched colors made me feel upset and even want to quit. “This art is more than just pictures. It records our history and expresses our love for life,” the master told me gently. After repeated attempts and careful changes, I finally finished a lovely phoenix (凤凰). Great pride filled my heart when I stared at my simple but meaningful work. As a precious treasure of Hunan culture, Miao painting carries the Miao people’s stories and spirits passed down through generations. It is hoped that more teenagers will know about it and keep this wonderful art alive. Truly, traditional culture shines brightly all the time. 1．How did the writer feel about mountain villages before the trip? A．Quiet and boring. B．Noisy and modern. C．Bright and lively. 2．What do we know about Miao Painting from the passage? A．It is a modern new art popular in big cities. B．It only describes beautiful flowers and lovely birds.

When you’re feeling blue, petting animals is a good way to make you happier. But how do you pet animals? Different animals like different ways. Dogs like you to pet their heads, necks and shoulders. If you are petting a strange dog, you should come near to it slowly, get down to its height and hold out a closed fist for it to smell. After the dog smells you and its body becomes relaxed, you can slowly touch around its head and shoulder. Cats like people to pet their heads, chins and faces. When you are going to pet a cat, let it come near to you first. Sit down and put your hand out for it to smell. If it wants your gentle touch, it will get close to your body. Rabbits like you to pet their heads, shoulders and faces. Rabbits are easily afraid of people. So you should come near to them slowly, sit down on the ground and put out your hand for them to smell. If your rabbit comes near to you, use your hand to lightly pet its head. Pet birds lightly on the head and don’t touch other areas. Building trust with birds takes time, so come near to them slowly and watch for their body language. If they like you to pet them, they will keep quiet. Pets are really lovely animals.

Ancient China offers clear examples of people who achieved their success late in life. Jiang Ziya was born in the Shang Dynasty (商朝). Though he was talented (有天赋的) and had big dreams, he lived a hard life when he was young. His luck changed when he was over 70. He met Ji Chang, the future King of Zhou. Ji Chang thought highly of Jiang’s clear ideas and rich knowledge, and made him a high official (官员). Later, at over 80 years old, Jiang led the Zhou army to win a key war against the Shang Dynasty, helping build the 800-year Zhou Dynasty. Another example is Su Xun, a great writer from the Song Dynasty. Unlike most students who studied hard from an early age, Su Xun only started serious learning at 27. He once failed the imperial examinations (科举) many times, but he didn’t give up. He spent over 10 years reading and studying classic books. At 47, he went to the capital with his two sons. His articles quickly became popular, and the great writer Ouyang Xiu praised him highly. What’s more, his two sons both passed the top imperial examinations that year. These stories tell us no matter how old you are, hard work and persistence (坚持) can always lead to success. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing different reasons. B．By comparing different facts. C．By asking different questions. 2．What happened after Jiang Ziya met Ji Chang? A．He continued working as before. B．He was made a high official by Ji Chang. C．He became the king of the Shang Dynasty. 3．Which of the following statements is TRUE about 47-year-old Su Xun? A．His articles became very popular. B．He became Ouyang Xiu’s student. C．He passed the imperial examination. 4．What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A．Failure in youth means failure in life. B．Youth and talent lead to early success. C．Age doesn’t stop anyone from achieving success. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要通过列举中国古代姜子牙70多岁遇明主、80多岁领兵伐商，以及苏洵27岁才开始认真学习、47岁文章成名这两个大器晚成的典型事例，论证了“成功永远不会太晚，年龄无法阻挡努力与坚持带来的成功”这一核心观点。 【详解】1．第一段“We often hear the stories of young people achieving great things, but history also teaches us that it’s never too late to succeed.”说明作者通过将 “年轻人取得成就的常见故事”与“历史上大器晚成的事实”进行对比的方式开篇。 2．第二段“Ji Chang thought highly of Jiang’s clear ideas and rich knowledge, and made him a high official (官员).” 说明姜子牙遇到姬昌后，被姬昌任命为高官。 3．第三段“At 47, he went to the capital with his two sons. His articles quickly became popular”，说明47岁时苏洵的文章变得非常受欢迎。 4．最后一段“These stories tell us no matter how old you are, hard work and persistence (坚持) can always lead to success.”点明文章主旨，即年龄不会阻止任何人取得成功。 九、（2026年湖南长郡集团九年级第二次学情分析英语） You might think taking public transportation (交通方式) is tiring and takes a lot of time in daily life. But for some students at Nanjing Foreign Language School, it is much more than just a common way to travel from one place to another. It brings them great joy. The school’s Transport Club was first set up in 2018 by a group of students who deeply love all kinds of public transportation. Now the club has many members, including 121 students studying in the school and 186 graduates who left the school years ago. Club members enjoy many interesting activities about different vehicles (交通工具), such as city buses, subways, common trains and planes. Usually, students share the best places for taking pictures of vehicles, and discuss different types and models. They even explore the past and present route (路线) plans of different lines sometimes. For example, they once looked at the subway lines in Nanjing. “Planning routes is harder than I thought,” said Li Zerui, 14. “People’s houses, busy areas, land and nature… We need to think about so many things.” Students also take interesting trips on new bus and subway lines and play a popular, “city chase” game. Two different teams travel around the whole city by public transport, finishing small tasks and catching up with each other to get more scores in the game. The club is not just for having fun. It helps students make more friends, learn good teamwork and know their own city much better. The students are proud to explore their city and hope to work together to make it a better place. 1．How many members are there in the Transport Club now? A．About 300. B．Less than 200. C．More than 400. 2．What can we learn from Li Zerui’s words? A．It is easy to design subway lines. B．Route planning is full of challenges. C．People set routes according to nature. 3．What does the underlined phrase “city chase” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．城市打卡 B．城市旅途 C．城市追逐 4．What is the biggest benefit the club brings to students? A．It helps them get more scores in games and better grades in exams. B．It makes their school life fun and helps them know their own city better. C．It teaches them the knowledge about transportation and how to drive vehicles. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了南京外国语学校交通俱乐部的成立、成员、活动及对学生的积极影响。 【详解】1．第二段提到“Now the club has many members, including 121 students studying in the school and 186 graduates who left the school years ago.”，计算可得：121+186 = 307，约为300人，所以俱乐部现在有大约300名成员。 2．第三段提到“‘Planning routes is harder than I thought,’ said Li Zerui, 14.”，说明路线规划比想象中更难，即路线规划充满挑战。 3．第四段提到“Two different teams travel around the whole city by public transport, finishing small tasks and catching up with each other to get more scores in the game.”，结合chase“追逐”的含义和游戏规则，可知city chase意为城市追逐。 4．第一段提到“It brings them great joy.”，第五段提到“It helps students make more friends, learn good teamwork and know their own city much better.”，所以俱乐部给学生带来的最大益处是让校园生活更有趣，并帮助他们更好地了解自己的城市。 十、（湖南永州市2026年中考第二次模拟考试英语试卷） Quanzhou wood carving (雕刻) is a traditional art form from Quanzhou, Fujian, China.

But hundreds of years ago, people had a different problem—a 400-year cold period! From the 1400s to the 1800s, winters in the northern half of the earth were colder and longer than they are now. Scientists call this time the “Little Ice Age”. The colder weather brought many serious problems. Plants died of cold and illness spread among people. People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for fires to keep their houses warm. And sometimes, a hard piece of ice would slide down (滑落) a mountain and destroy (摧毁) some villages. Scientists think the Little Ice Age was caused by forces that people could not control. One cause, in their opinion, was the sun. The sun often has “storms” of energy called sunspots (太阳黑子). During the Little Ice Age, there were fewer sunspots than there are today. With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less energy, which made the earth colder. Volcanic eruption (火山爆发) was probably another natural cause. During the Little Ice Age, many volcanoes erupted. Their dust (灰尘) might stop the sun’s light and heat from reaching the earth. Today we are seeing the influences of rising temperature. Scientists think people are causing this change by burning a lot of coal and oil. So we need to change our way of living. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By making a comparison. 2．Why did people collect much wood during the Little Ice Age? A．To keep their house warm. B．To stop the spread of illness. C．To protect them from the hard ice. 3．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．Volcanic dust could make the earth warmer. B．Fewer sunspots meant less heat from the sun. C．People’s daily life caused a 400-year cold period. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．The secret of sunspots B．The terrible volcanic eruption C．The Little Ice age and climate change 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了历史上的小冰期现象，阐述了小冰期带来的影响、形成原因，并对比当下全球变暖的现状，探讨气候变化相关内容。 【详解】1．第一段介绍：“Today the earth is getting warmer and warmer. But hundreds of years ago, people had a different problem...”将如今地球变暖与数百年前长达四百年的寒冷时期进行对比，通过对比的方式引出小冰期这一话题。 2．第二段提到：“People had to spend a lot more time collecting wood for fires to keep their houses warm.”，说明人们收集大量木柴是为了给房屋取暖。 3．第三段说明小冰期的成因，其中提到：“With fewer sunspots, the sun was giving out less energy which made the earth colder.”，可知太阳黑子更少意味着太阳释放的热量更少。 4．全文围绕小冰期展开，介绍了其影响、成因，最后关联当下的气候变暖，因此小冰期与气候变化最适合作为文章标题。 十二、（2026年湖南娄底市九年级第二次学情调研试题英语）                          Ask Dr. Know-Solving Your School Problems I’m terrible at maths.

She often thought of the fight to save Beauty, a baby who was born with only 800 grams. She had weak lungs (肺) and could hardly breathe. It was believed that she couldn’t live long in a hospital short of necessary equipment (设备). “But even with the smallest chance, my team and I had to try our best,” said Wen. To keep the baby warm, Wen coated Beauty with a soft cloth. The most dangerous moment arrived when Beauty’s heart beat only 30 times a minute. Wen stayed close to Beauty to look after her carefully and patiently for almost five hours. Finally, Beauty was able to breathe by herself. By the time of her leaving hospital over two months later, Beauty weighed 2,050 grams. The medical team and her family celebrated the great moment with laughter and tears. Beauty’s mother held Wen’s hands and said, “I want my daughter to be a doctor like you.” During her stay in Africa, Wen helped thousands of patients. Wen traveled to faraway villages under a burning hot sun. Though she often felt tired after long traveling, she had no time to take a rest because the local people were lining up for help. They endlessly expressed their gratitude for her efforts. Besides saving lives, Wen’s team also trained local doctors and nurses every week to better their skills. 1．How was Beauty when she was born?

Scientists watched 184 sharks at Shark Reef Marine Reserve in Fiji over six years. The sharks were fed together inside a protected area and researchers could dive (潜水) down and watch them. The team recorded behaviours such as parallel swimming (平行游), sharks leading and following each other. And they noted how close together the sharks swam, especially when they stayed within about two metres of each other. They found that adult sharks have the most social connections. Both male (雄性) and female (雌性) bull sharks prefer to hang out with females. But males form more social connections in general because males are smaller than females. In this way, they can protect themselves from larger sharks. The researchers said bull sharks might get the same benefits from social connections as other animals, including learning new skills, finding food and mates and staying safe from predators, who may catch and kill them for food. “As humans, we develop different kinds of social relationships—from simple relationships to close relationships, but we also actively avoid certain people—and these bull sharks are doing similar things,” said Natasha D．Marosi, who led the research. The scientists said understanding how bull sharks interact (互动) can teach us more about how they live together and move around, which can help with protection efforts. 1．What have scientists discovered about bull sharks? A．They live alone. B．They have “friends”. C．They swim fast. 2．Why do the male sharks have more social connections? A．Because they want to find food easily. B．Because they are smaller than females. C．Because they prefer to hang out with females. 3．What does the underlined word “predators” mean? A．Enemies. B．Researchers. C．Divers. 4．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the passage? A．Culture. B．Geography. C．Science. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家对牛鲨社交行为的新发现：牛鲨并非总是独居，它们会形成社交关系，拥有自己喜欢的“朋友”，且雌性更受欢迎，雄性因体型较小而更倾向于建立社交联系以保护自己。 【详解】1．由第一段“a new study suggests that bull sharks form social relationships and have ‘friends’”可知，科学家发现牛鲨有“朋友”。 2．由第三段“males form more social connections in general because males are smaller than females. In this way, they can protect themselves from larger sharks”可知，雄性牛鲨有更多社交关系是因为它们体型比雌性小，需要借此保护自己免受更大鲨鱼的伤害。 3．由第四段“staying safe from predators, who may catch and kill them for food”可知，“predators”指的是会捕捉并吃掉它们的天敌，即“敌人”。 4．本文介绍关于牛鲨社交行为的科学研究，属于科学类内容，因此最可能出现在杂志的“Science”（科学）版块。 十五、（湖南省湘西州凤凰县2026年中考英语第二次模拟试卷） Firefighters have a new helper—a firefighting robot.

If so, maybe people are thinking that your English isn’t polite. Let’s learn how to avoid being rude (粗鲁的) and be polite in English! In English, when you make a request, it’s often considered rude to use the words such as “I want” and “I need”. They are very direct and sound impolite. For example, instead of saying “I want a cup of coffee”, you could make it sound more polite by adding some softening words like “I’d like a cup of coffee, please.” You’ll get your coffee and a smile, too. What’s more, people often do not like being told what to do. Try to replace phrases that sound like commands (命令) such as “Give me the newspaper.” To be more polite, you could make a request like “Can you pass me the newspaper, please?” In English, “Why don’t we…?” is a polite way of suggesting something when you are introducing a new idea that other people have not thought of. Or, you could use “Perhaps we could…” when you are not completely sure if it is a good idea. Last but not least, what if your friend gives you an invitation but you are not able to go? Instead of simply saying “No”, you could politely say “I’m afraid I can’t” to avoid offense.   So, if you’d like to be a nice person, learning how to be polite in English is necessary. 1．You may make a request like “________” to get what you want politely and pleasantly. A．I need a cup of tea. B．I’d like a cup of tea, please. C．Waiter, a cup of tea. 2．What should you say when you are uncertain whether your idea is good? A．Perhaps we could…. B．Certainly we must. C．Clearly we should. 3．When you turn down an invitation, simply saying “No” is________. A．wise B．indirect C．impolite 4．What might be the best title of this passage? A．Be polite in English B．Be proud in English C．Be brave in English 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲解在英语交流中如何礼貌表达，避免粗鲁。 【详解】1．根据第二段中的“For example, instead of saying ‘I want a cup of coffee’, you could make it sound more polite by adding some softening words like ‘I’d like a cup of coffee, please.’”可知，使用“I’d like…, please”是礼貌的请求方式。 2．根据第四段中的“Or, you could use ‘Perhaps we could…’ when you are not completely sure if it is a good idea.”可知，不确定主意好坏时应说“Perhaps we could…”。 3．根据第五段中的“Instead of simply saying ‘No’, you could politely say ‘I’m afraid I can’t’ to avoid offense.”可知，直接说“No”会造成冒犯，是不礼貌的。 4．文章第一段提出“Let’s learn how to avoid being rude (粗鲁的) and be polite in English!”最后一段总结“learning how to be polite in English is necessary”以及全文内容可知，全文围绕如何在英语交流中保持礼貌展开。选项A“在英语中保持礼貌”最适合作为标题。 十七、（2026年湖南省湘潭市一模英语试题） Growing up in the countryside of Kenya, my mother, Bertha Ngumbi, repeated the same words daily: “Education is your only way to have a better life.” At first, my four sisters, my brothers and I refused, preferring childhood games to studies. But she kept on making us study-when we forgot homework, she punished us seriously. I remember at age 10, after being punished, I even wished she would fall ill so that she’d stop being so hard on us. Her strictness came from her hard life. She and my father were workers, making only $200 a month, and they worked tirelessly. Before sunrise, we’d work on our small farm; after school, we’d cook and study in the weak light of an oil lamp. The most painful memory is seeing them return from town—exhausted for using up all of their energy and hungry for having spent nothing on food to save more money for our schooling. “I could never eat while knowing you needed books,” she later told me. Her efforts greatly influenced us. My eldest brother Kennedy became a business owner; I made a Ph.D．; my sisters entered teaching and healthcare. When I asked why she never gave up, she explained, “I saw something in you-you are always wise and hard-working.” Today, though I’m a scientist thousands of miles away, her lessons remain. Every phone call still ends with her strict, loving reminder, “Are you working hard?” Though I once was angry with her strictness, I understand now it was love in its simplest form. Her efforts gave us wings-and for that, this daughter will forever be thankful. 1．Why did the children sometimes wish their mother would fall ill? A．They hated her strictness. B．They wanted her to have a rest. C．They thought she worked too hard. 2．What does the underlined word “exhausted” mean in paragraph 2? A．Rather angry. B．Very tired. C．Quite worried. 3．How were the children’s lives when they became adults? A．They stayed in their hometown. B．They all became famous scientists. C．They achieved success in different jobs. 4．What lesson can we learn from the passage? A．No pain, no gain. B．Practice makes perfect. C．East or west, home is best. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了肯尼亚一位母亲用严格的教育方式逼迫孩子们努力学习，最终孩子们都在不同职业领域取得成功，作者感悟到母亲的严格其实是朴素的爱的体现。 【详解】1．第一段指出：“I remember at age 10, after being punished, I even wished she would fall ill so that she’d stop being so hard on us.”，明确表示孩子希望母亲生病是因为她对他们太严格，想让她停止严厉对待。 2．第二段描述父母从镇上回来的状态：“exhausted for using up all of their energy”，意思是“用尽了所有力气”，所以exhausted意为“非常疲倦”。 3．第三段指出：“My eldest brother Kennedy became a business owner; I made a Ph.D.; my sisters entered teaching and healthcare.”，表明孩子们成年后在商业、科研、教育、医疗等不同领域取得了成功。 4．文章讲述了母亲通过严格的教育让孩子努力学习，最终孩子们都取得了成功，体现了“没有付出就没有收获”的道理。 十八、（湖南省湘西州凤凰县2026年中考英语第一次模拟试卷） Changsha Ecological Zoo Opening TimeWinter hours (October 1-March 31): 10:00-16:00 every day Summer hours (April 1-September 30): 10:00-17:00 on weekdays 10:00-18:00 on weekends RulesDon’t feed any animals in the zoo.

This fact makes many people wonder: Will human writers disappear one day? When people talk about AI, they often worry about its problems. Some fear that AI-made fake (虚假的) videos would trick people and cause serious trouble. However, studies later showed that these fears were too strong. Although fake videos did increase people’s doubts, they did not actually cause the disasters that many expected. For writers and artists, the biggest worry is about jobs. AI can write faster than any human because it has learned from millions of texts. Many part-time writers who used to create blog posts and social media content (内容) have already lost their jobs. But AI writing is not as scary as it seems. First, AI is mainly used for simple and fixed writing, such as how-to guides, product descriptions, and news reports. It is not good at creative work that shows personal style and original (原创的) ideas. Second, AI itself learns from human writing, so it cannot truly take the place of human creativity. Interestingly, the line between human and AI $
