By the time you are fully grown, your body will be up to 20, 000 times larger. That's a lot of growing! The secret to growth lies in your cells. In all animals-humans included-growth happens when cells get bigger, break apart to create new cells, and connect together. Even when you stop getting taller, this cellular activity never truly ends. Your body continues to renew itself throughout your life as worn-out cells are replaced by new ones. Your skin, muscles, blood, bones-even your brain-are constantly renewing themselves. In fact, every 7 to 10 years, nearly all the cells in your body are replaced, meaning you're not the same person you were a few years ago! Different parts of your body grow at different speeds. By age 10, your head is already close to its adult size, while the rest of your body may need another 10 years to catch up. Inside your body, organs like your heart, lungs, and liver each follow their own growth timetable. Your height comes mainly from how your bones develop, especially your spine (脊柱) and the long bones in your arms and legs. Growth doesn't happen at a steady pace. It speeds up quickly during two main times of fast growth: the first when you are a baby, and the second when you are a teenager. During your first year of life, you grew about 25 centimetres! After that period, growth slowed down to 3 - 8 centimetres each year. But during your teenage years, you might suddenly grow 10 centimetres or more in a single year. Your adult height is mostly set by the genes you get from your parents. To reach this natural height, your body needs good building materials: healthy food, enough sleep, exercise, and sunshine for strong bones. 孕育你的那颗微小卵细胞，比针尖还要细小。等到完全发育成熟时，你的身体会膨胀至最初的两万倍。成长真是一件奇妙的事！ 成长的奥秘藏在细胞之中。包括人类在内，所有动物的成长都源于细胞增大、分裂产生新细胞并相互结合。即便身高不再增长，这种细胞活动也永远不会真正停止。衰老细胞会不断被新细胞替代，人体终生都在自我更新。你的皮肤、肌肉、血液、骨骼，甚至大脑，都在持续新陈代谢。事实上，人体内几乎所有细胞每7至10年就会全部更新一遍，这意味着几年前的你和现在的你早已不是同一副身体！ 人体各个部位的生长速度各不相同。到十岁时，头部尺寸就已接近成年大小，而身体其余部分还需要十年才能发育完全。心脏、肺、肝脏等体内器官，都有着各自的生长周期。身高主要由骨骼发育情况决定，尤其是脊柱与四肢长骨。 人的生长速度并非一成不变。一生中有两个快速猛长期：婴儿时期和青少年时期。出生第一年，你大约会长高25厘米；在此之后，每年仅长高3至8厘米。但步入青春期后，你可能一年就猛长十厘米甚至更高。 成年后的身高大多由父母遗传基因决定。想要长到基因赋予的标准身高，身体需要充足“养分”：健康饮食、充足睡眠、坚持运动，以及能强健骨骼的日照。 【长难句分析】 1. "In all animals-humans included-growth happens when cells get bigger, break apart to create new cells, and connect together." 翻译：包括人类在内的所有动物，生长都源于细胞体积变大、分裂产生新细胞并相互结合的过程。 重点：when引导时间状语从句，说明生长发生的条件；句中get bigger、break apart、connect together是三个并列的谓语动作，结构对称；插入语humans included起补充说明作用；break apart为固定短语，意为“分裂、分开”。 2. "In fact, every 7 to 10 years, nearly all the cells in your body are replaced, meaning you're not the same person you were a few years ago!" 翻译：事实上，人体内几乎所有细胞每7到10年就会完成一次更替，这意味着几年前的你和现在的你早已不是同一副身体。 重点：被动语态are replaced表示“被替换、被更替”；现在分词meaning作结果状语，相当于which means，可译为“这意味着”；you were a few years ago是省略关系代词that的定语从句，修饰先行词person。 3. "By age 10, your head is already close to its adult size, while the rest of your body may need another 10 years to catch up." 翻译：到十岁时，你的头部尺寸就已接近成年人水平，而身体其余部位还需要十年才能跟上发育进度。 重点：while作连词表对比关系，意为“而、然而”，是初中核心语法考点；固定短语be close to表示“接近”；catch up表示“追上、赶上”，此处指跟上发育节奏。 【重难词汇梳理】 secret (n.) 奥秘 include (v.) 包括 cell (n.) 细胞 replace (v.) 替换；更替 renew (v.) 更新 organ (n.) 器官 steady (adj.) 平稳的 gene (n.) 基因 speed up 加速 catch up 赶上 Passage2 It's Never Too Late to Be All You Can Be 成为更好的自己，永远不晚 On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, "Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and warmly responded, "Of course you may!"She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?"I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel." "No, seriously?" I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class, we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this "time machine"as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I'll never forget what she taught us. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don't even know it,"she said. "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability," she added. "But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do." She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily life. At the year's end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun years ago. We'd always keep her in mind because she is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. 开学第一天，教授做完自我介绍后，给我们布置了一个挑战：去认识一个之前素不相识的人。我站起身四处张望，这时一只温柔的手轻轻拍了拍我的肩膀。我转过身，看见一位满脸皱纹、个子矮小的老太太正笑着看向我。“嗨，帅哥！我叫罗斯，今年 87 岁啦。我能抱你一下吗？” 我笑着热情回应：“当然可以！” 她给了我一个大大的拥抱。“您年纪这么‘小’、这么‘天真’，怎么来上大学啦？” 我打趣道。 她开玩笑地回答：“我来这儿找个有钱的丈夫，结婚生俩孩子，然后退休环游世界。” “不对，说真的？” 我问道。我很好奇，到底是什么动力，让她一把年纪还来接受这份挑战。 “我一直梦想能接受大学教育，现在终于圆梦了！” 她告诉我。 下课后，我们一起走到学生会大楼，分喝了一杯巧克力奶昔。我们一见如故，成了朋友。接下来的三个月里，我们每天都一起下课，聊个不停。听她分享人生智慧与阅历，我总觉得像在听一台 “时光机” 讲故事，常常听得入迷。 那一整年里，罗斯成了校园里的风云人物。无论走到哪儿，她都能轻松交到朋友。她喜欢精心打扮，也享受同学们投来的关注目光，把日子过得精彩纷呈。 学期末，我们邀请罗斯在学生集会上演讲。我永远忘不了她带给我们的启发。“我们不是因为变老才停止玩乐，而是因为停止玩乐，才慢慢变老。保持年轻、收获快乐、取得成功，只有四个秘诀。每天都要开怀大笑，发掘生活的趣味。人一定要有梦想，失去梦想，人就如同行尸走肉。世上有太多行尸走肉般的人，他们自己却还浑然不觉。” 她说。 “变老和成长，是完全不同的两件事。每个人都会变老，这不需要任何天赋或能力。” 她补充道，“但成长，需要在变化中寻找机遇，人生不留遗憾。老年人通常不会为自己做过的事后悔，只会为没做过的事遗憾。” 演讲的最后，她勇敢地唱起了《玫瑰》这首歌。她鼓励我们每个人去钻研歌词，把其中的道理践行到日常生活中。 年末，罗斯拿到了她多年前就开始攻读的大学学位。我们会永远铭记她，因为这位了不起的女士用亲身经历告诉我们：成为最好的自己，永远都不算晚。 【长难句分析】 1. "I was always attracted listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me." 翻译：听她分享人生智慧与阅历，我总觉得像在听一台“时光机”讲故事，常常听得入迷。 重点：被动语态`was attracted`表示“被吸引”；`as`引导时间状语从句，意为“当……时”；`time machine`为比喻用法，将老人比作时光机，体现她阅历丰富；现在分词短语`listening to...`作伴随状语。 2. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing." 翻译：我们不是因为变老才停止玩乐，而是因为停止玩乐，才慢慢变老。 重点：本句涉及否定转移，`not`实际否定的是`because`引导的原因状语，而非主句动作`stop playing`；分号连接两个并列句，形成对仗结构，增强说理力度；本句是全文核心观点句，也是写作常用的金句。 3. "We'd always keep her in mind because she is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be." 翻译：我们会永远铭记她，因为这位了不起的女士用亲身经历告诉我们：成为最好的自己，永远都不算晚。 重点：`because`引导原因状语从句；`who`引导定语从句，修饰先行词`woman`；`that`引导宾语从句，作`taught`的直接宾语；固定句型`it's never too late to do sth`意为“做某事永远不晚”；短语`by example`表示“以身作则、以实例示范”。 【重难词汇梳理】 professor (n.) 教授 challenge (v.) 挑战；激励 wrinkled (adj.) 有皱纹的 motivate (v.) 驱使；激发 instant (adj.) 立刻的；一见如故的 icon (n.) 偶像；标志性人物 wisdom (n.) 智慧 gathering (n.) 集会 talent (n.) 天赋，才能 conclude (v.) 结束；总结 courageously (adv.) 勇敢地 degree (n.) 学位 【重点短语】 live it up 尽情享受生活 by example 以身作则 keep...in mind 牢记…… take on a challenge 接受挑战 it's never too late to do sth 做某事永远不晚 Passage1 （25-26·中考·江苏盐城·一模）I’m not the kind of mother who normally brushes and styles her daughter’s hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it. But today, I put a chair outside and let my daughter Sally sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. It was the last time for a week that our bodies would connect. Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp. She didn’t ask to go. This was all my idea. She’s nearly 12, and I notice that I’m with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on a farm without any neighbors, I’ve chosen a life that is quieter than a usual family’s. But instead of requiring space away from me, Sally has increasingly depended on me. What worries me most is that she has become a “mini-me”. She follows my hobbies, my dreams, and my opinions. And that was why I pulled her to the summer camp, a nearby wilderness (荒野) camp called Hawk Circle. After we ate, I drove Sally to Hawk Circle. Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were introduced to other campers. Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer. “I need you for a few more minutes,” she told me, holding my hand tightly (紧紧地). I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp’s workers. “Excuse me,” I said loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone. On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul had been taken from my body. I began to shake. The tears (泪水) came down my face. It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. I thought to myself, “I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. I don’t want to see only myself in my child. I want to learn who she is. If I don’t set her free, I fear I’ll never really meet her real personality.” After 12 years of being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time. 1. Sally would be away from her mother for ________. A. a day B. a week C. a month D. a year 2. From Paragraph 6, we can know Sally was very ________. A. nervous B. happy C. excited D. amazed 3.

Many tourists crowded on the mountain top, waiting quietly for the amazing moment. Some people carried thick coats because the wind was strong and cold at high places. As time went by, thick grey clouds covered the sky completely. No sunlight could break through. Lots of tourists felt disappointed and packed their bags to leave. They thought there was no chance to see the sunrise that day. I also felt upset and almost decided to go back to the hotel.

We sat side by side and chatted about the mountains, animals and local life. An hour passed, the clouds started to break little by little. Golden light came out from gaps in the clouds, and the whole Himalayas turned warm and bright. The red sun jumped up slowly above the mountain line. All the people who stayed shouted with joy.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady with a smile. She said, "Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and warmly responded, "Of course you may!"She gave me a giant squeeze (拥抱). "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?"I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel." "No, seriously?" I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class, we walked to the Student Union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day of the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted listening to this "time machine"as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and enjoyed the attention from other students. She was living it up. At the end of the term, we invited Rose to speak at a student gathering. I'll never forget what she taught us. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young,being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There are so many people walking around who are dead, and they don't even know it,"she said. "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability," she added. "But growing up requires finding opportunities in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do." She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily life. At the year's end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun years ago. We'd always keep her in mind because she is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be. 开学第一天，教授做完自我介绍后，给我们布置了一个挑战：去认识一个之前素不相识的人。我站起身四处张望，这时一只温柔的手轻轻拍了拍我的肩膀。我转过身，看见一位满脸皱纹、个子矮小的老太太正笑着看向我。“嗨，帅哥！我叫罗斯，今年 87 岁啦。我能抱你一下吗？” 我笑着热情回应：“当然可以！” 她给了我一个大大的拥抱。“您年纪这么‘小’、这么‘天真’，怎么来上大学啦？” 我打趣道。 她开玩笑地回答：“我来这儿找个有钱的丈夫，结婚生俩孩子，然后退休环游世界。” “不对，说真的？” 我问道。我很好奇，到底是什么动力，让她一把年纪还来接受这份挑战。 “我一直梦想能接受大学教育，现在终于圆梦了！” 她告诉我。 下课后，我们一起走到学生会大楼，分喝了一杯巧克力奶昔。我们一见如故，成了朋友。接下来的三个月里，我们每天都一起下课，聊个不停。听她分享人生智慧与阅历，我总觉得像在听一台 “时光机” 讲故事，常常听得入迷。 那一整年里，罗斯成了校园里的风云人物。无论走到哪儿，她都能轻松交到朋友。她喜欢精心打扮，也享受同学们投来的关注目光，把日子过得精彩纷呈。 学期末，我们邀请罗斯在学生集会上演讲。我永远忘不了她带给我们的启发。“我们不是因为变老才停止玩乐，而是因为停止玩乐，才慢慢变老。保持年轻、收获快乐、取得成功，只有四个秘诀。每天都要开怀大笑，发掘生活的趣味。人一定要有梦想，失去梦想，人就如同行尸走肉。世上有太多行尸走肉般的人，他们自己却还浑然不觉。” 她说。 “变老和成长，是完全不同的两件事。每个人都会变老，这不需要任何天赋或能力。” 她补充道，“但成长，需要在变化中寻找机遇，人生不留遗憾。老年人通常不会为自己做过的事后悔，只会为没做过的事遗憾。” 演讲的最后，她勇敢地唱起了《玫瑰》这首歌。她鼓励我们每个人去钻研歌词，把其中的道理践行到日常生活中。 年末，罗斯拿到了她多年前就开始攻读的大学学位。我们会永远铭记她，因为这位了不起的女士用亲身经历告诉我们：成为最好的自己，永远都不算晚。 【长难句分析】 1. "I was always attracted listening to this 'time machine' as she shared her wisdom and experience with me." 翻译：听她分享人生智慧与阅历，我总觉得像在听一台“时光机”讲故事，常常听得入迷。 重点：被动语态`was attracted`表示“被吸引”；`as`引导时间状语从句，意为“当……时”；`time machine`为比喻用法，将老人比作时光机，体现她阅历丰富；现在分词短语`listening to...`作伴随状语。 2. "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing." 翻译：我们不是因为变老才停止玩乐，而是因为停止玩乐，才慢慢变老。 重点：本句涉及否定转移，`not`实际否定的是`because`引导的原因状语，而非主句动作`stop playing`；分号连接两个并列句，形成对仗结构，增强说理力度；本句是全文核心观点句，也是写作常用的金句。 3. "We'd always keep her in mind because she is the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be." 翻译：我们会永远铭记她，因为这位了不起的女士用亲身经历告诉我们：成为最好的自己，永远都不算晚。 重点：`because`引导原因状语从句；`who`引导定语从句，修饰先行词`woman`；`that`引导宾语从句，作`taught`的直接宾语；固定句型`it's never too late to do sth`意为“做某事永远不晚”；短语`by example`表示“以身作则、以实例示范”。 【重难词汇梳理】 professor (n.) 教授 challenge (v.) 挑战；激励 wrinkled (adj.) 有皱纹的 motivate (v.) 驱使；激发 instant (adj.) 立刻的；一见如故的 icon (n.) 偶像；标志性人物 wisdom (n.) 智慧 gathering (n.) 集会 talent (n.) 天赋，才能 conclude (v.) 结束；总结 courageously (adv.) 勇敢地 degree (n.) 学位 【重点短语】 live it up 尽情享受生活 by example 以身作则 keep...in mind 牢记…… take on a challenge 接受挑战 it's never too late to do sth 做某事永远不晚 Passage1 （25-26·中考·江苏盐城·一模）I’m not the kind of mother who normally brushes and styles her daughter’s hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it. But today, I put a chair outside and let my daughter Sally sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower, and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. It was the last time for a week that our bodies would connect. Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp. She didn’t ask to go. This was all my idea. She’s nearly 12, and I notice that I’m with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on a farm without any neighbors, I’ve chosen a life that is quieter than a usual family’s. But instead of requiring space away from me, Sally has increasingly depended on me. What worries me most is that she has become a “mini-me”. She follows my hobbies, my dreams, and my opinions. And that was why I pulled her to the summer camp, a nearby wilderness (荒野) camp called Hawk Circle. After we ate, I drove Sally to Hawk Circle. Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were introduced to other campers. Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer. “I need you for a few more minutes,” she told me, holding my hand tightly (紧紧地). I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp’s workers. “Excuse me,” I said loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone. On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul had been taken from my body. I began to shake. The tears (泪水) came down my face. It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. I thought to myself, “I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. I don’t want to see only myself in my child. I want to learn who she is. If I don’t set her free, I fear I’ll never really meet her real personality.” After 12 years of being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time. 1. Sally would be away from her mother for ________. A. a day B. a week C. a month D. a year 2. From Paragraph 6, we can know Sally was very ________. A. nervous B. happy C. excited D. amazed 3. What did the mother do when the daughter asked her to stay for a while? A. She left at once without saying a word. B. She agreed to stay with her. C. She brushed and styled her daughter’s hair. D. She helped her get help and then left. 4. What’s the Chinese meaning of the word “shadow” in Paragraph 9? A. 影子 B. 保障 C. 困境 D. 联系 【参考答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一位母亲为帮助过度依赖自己的女儿培养独立人格，送女儿参加为期一周的荒野夏令营，在放手的过程中感悟亲子成长真谛的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Today, I would send Sally away for a week of summer camp.”可知，萨莉将离开妈妈一周去参加夏令营。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第六段中“Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join a game of soccer.”以及“holding my hand tightly”可知，萨莉紧紧拉着妈妈的手，眼中满是慌乱，正鼓起勇气加入活动，由此可推断她十分紧张。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第七段中“I pulled away and walked up to one of the camp’s workers... He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed her and then I disappeared before she realized I was gone.”可知，当女儿请求妈妈多陪一会儿时，妈妈先向营地工作人员寻求帮助，让工作人员引导女儿融入集体，随后悄悄离开。故选D。 4．词义猜测题。根据第九段中“I want Sally to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow. I don’t want to see only myself in my child.”可知，母亲不希望女儿活在自己的影响下，只复刻自己的样子，而是希望她能找到真实的自我。此处“shadow”本义为“影子”，引申为“影响、阴影”，结合选项最贴合的释义是“影子”。故选A。 Passage2 （2025·天津·中考真题）There are many kinds of work.

Just when I was ready to walk down, an old local boy sat next to me and talked to me softly. He told me that clouds at this place usually disappeared slowly after a long wait. He had watched many sunrises here and knew that the beautiful sight always came after long patience. I hesitated for a minute and finally chose to stay with him. We sat side by side and chatted about the mountains, animals and local life. An hour passed, the clouds started to break little by little.
