二、阅读理解。
(2026·福建泉州·一模)Nowadays, many students are used to looking for answers online when they meet problems. They seldom think by themselves, and just copy ready-made answers directly. This has caused a lot of problems.
First, it stops students from developing independent thinking. Learning is not just about getting correct answers; it is more about the process of thinking. If students always depend on online answers, they will lose the ability to solve problems on their own. When they meet new problems in real life, they will not know what to do.
Second, copying answers leads to bad learning habits. Students who often copy answers don’t listen carefully in class, because they think they can finish homework easily with the help of the Internet. They become lazy and lose interest in learning little by little.
Of course, the Internet is not all bad. It can help us learn better if we use it properly. When we really can’t work out a problem, we can look for different solutions online. But we need to think carefully about why the answer is like that, instead of just copying it. We can also use the Internet to learn more knowledge beyond textbooks.
As middle school students, we should develop independent thinking. When we meet difficulties, we should try our best to work them out first. Don’t depend on online answers completely. The ability to think independently is more valuable than any ready-made answer.
1.What problem does the writer talk about in Paragraph 1?
A.Students have too much homework.
B.Students depend too much on online answers.
C.Students can’t solve problems by themselves.
D.Students spend too much time on the Internet.
2.What is the first bad result of copying online answers?
A.It’s bad for students’ health.
B.It makes students get bad grades.
C.It stops students from thinking independently.
D.It makes students argue with their teachers.
3.What does the writer think of the Internet?
A.It is useless for students’ study.
B.It is harmful to most students.
C.It can be helpful if used properly.
D.It can solve all learning problems.
4.Which of the following would the writer agree with?
A.Students should never look for answers online.
B.Students can use online answers but should think first.
C.Online answers can help students save much time.
D.Students should only learn knowledge from textbooks.
5.What is the best title for the text?
A.How to Use the Internet Properly
B.The Importance of Learning
C.Bad Habits of Modern Students
D.The Value of Independent Thinking
(2026·北京·中考真题)The internet has provided us with unmatched ways to get information but it is also sounding alarms. Some experts argue that the internet will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those learning to use it, because they won’t practise their memory.
Is the internet really doing harm to our memories—or will our doubtful experts be proven wrong? After all, the brain’s attention system (系统) and preferences for novel experiences were already there long before the digital age, and our ability to remember is nearly inexhaustible (无穷尽的). According to Michael Merzenich, a brain researcher, every brain is a work in progress; it keeps changing throughout our lives, depending on how we use it.
But our brains don’t work well when we’re not focused. When we repeatedly check text messages and social media during work, we are weakening our ability to form both short-and long-term memories, experts say. The flooding of information influences our ability to remember, too. Though our brains are designed to look for new data, too much of it may be causing this natural drive to go wild. The compulsion to continuously take in information means we often check social media when we should be doing “memory housekeeping” by giving our brains some rest. Another problem: the effortless way of receiving information online. Trying to actively recall (回忆) data is a good workout for the brain, but today we are using online search tools instead.
However, the internet may be changing only what we remember, not our ability to do so, suggests Columbia University psychologist (心理学家) Betsy Sparrow. In fact, the internet is becoming an outside hard drive for our memories. Some worry that this is having a negative effect on society, but Sparrow suggests this will change our way of learning from a focus on remembering facts to one on understanding ideas.
As is shown in a 2008 study, using the internet exercised the brain more than reading among older adults with strong computer skills. And two Harvard psychologists argue that not needing to remember facts might free our minds to focus on more meaningful tasks.
“There may be costs caused by our increased dependence on the internet, but generally the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,” says Benjamin Storm, a psychologist. “It seems pretty clear that memory is changing, but is it changing for the better? At this point, we don’t know.”
1.What does the word “compulsion” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Longing. B.Ability. C.Chance. D.Promise.
2.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Internet users remember facts better than non-users.
B.Novel experiences improve the brain’s attention system.
C.Checking social media can give the brain proper breaks.
D.The internet may produce a change of focus in learning.
3.How does Benjamin Storm feel about the effects of the internet on memory?
A.Uneasy and doubtful. B.Positive but still uncertain.
C.Negative but still hopeful. D.Encouraged and confident.
4.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A.To argue for a belief. B.To challenge a solution.
C.To present different views. D.To examine causes and effects.

一、语法填空。
(25-26九年级上·湖北武汉·期中)阅读下面短文,根据上下文或括号内单词等提示,在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的适当形式。
Have you ever used your fingerprint to open a door? Have you ever taken a self-driving taxi on the road? Technologies have brought great changes to 1 (we) life. Actually, changes can also be 2 (find) in your school.
“Now, we don’t have to rush to the canteen (食堂) as soon as the bell rings,” says Hu Liang, a student 3 Jiangxi. His school introduced a smart canteen system (系统) this year.

What other exciting technologies could be part of our life in the future? Let’s look forward to even 10 (many) changes!
【答案】
1.our 2.found 3.from/in 4.meals 5.offers 6.the 7.recently 8.how 9.running 10.more
【导语】本文介绍了科技给生活和校园带来的变化,通过智能食堂、操场跑步记录等实例,展现了科技如何让校园生活更便捷、有趣、表达了对未来更多科技变化的期待。
1.句意:科技给我们的生活带来了巨大的变化。life是名词,前面应该用形容词性物主代词作定语,we的形容词性物主代词是our。
2.句意:事实上,变化在你的学校里也能被发现。句子主语changes和find是被动关系,需用被动语态。结构为be+动词过去分词,find的过去分词是found。
3.句意:“现在,我们不用一听到铃声就冲向食堂了”,来自江西的学生胡亮说。表示“来自某地的学生”用a student from+地点。a student in+地点表示“在某地的学生”。故填from/in。
4.句意:到了他们的订单时间,他们使用人脸识别技术取餐。meal是可数名词,此处是学生们的餐食,需用复数形式meals。
5.句意:这个智能食堂给学生们提供了愉快的体验。主语The smart canteen是单数,句子用一般现在时,动词需用offer的第三人称单数形式offers。
6.句意:同时,它帮助学校规划餐食并减少浪费。at the same time表示“同时”,应填the。
7.句意:重庆的一所中学最近在操场上使用了四台摄像机。句中used是动词,需用副词修饰,recent是形容词,其副词形式为recently。
8.句意:它们可以跟随学生并记录他们跑得多快。how fast表达“多快”。应填how。
9.句意:这给跑步增添了乐趣,也让学生们以有趣的方式竞争。add...to...结构中to是介词,后面需要接动名词,run的动名词为running。
10.句意:让我们期待更多的变化吧!even后面常接形容词/副词的比较级,many的比较级为more。
二、选词填空。
(25-26九年级上·河南信阳·阶段检测)阅读短文,从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确的形式填空,使短文通顺,意思完整,每空限填一词,每词限用一次。

【答案】
1.though 2.its 3.shows 4.research 5.helping 6.purposes 7.daily 8.better 9.out 10.made
【导语】本文介绍北京出台校内人工智能使用指导方案,阐述AI在校园六大应用方向、面向不同年龄段学生的教育目标,介绍相关试点项目,体现我国推进AI教育落地的举措。
1.句意:人工智能很酷,虽然它依旧让人感觉离校园生活还有些遥远。空格前后存在转折让步关系,方框内连词though意为“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句。其余词汇没有连词属性,无法实现句子转折。
2.句意:北京刚刚推出它的首个在校内使用人工智能的指导方案。空后有序数词first修饰名词guide,方框内代词it需要变为形容词性物主代词its,含义为“它(北京)的”,its first guide表示“北京的首个指导方案”。
3.句意:这份指导方案展示了六种人工智能使用途径:教学、学习、测评、助力学生成长、开展科研以及校园管理。主语the guide是单数,时态为一般现在时,谓语动词需要使用第三人称单数形式;show意为“展示、说明”,变形为shows,契合文意。
4.句意:这份指导方案展示了六种人工智能使用途径:教学、学习、测评、助力学生成长、开展研究以及校园管理。固定搭配do research表示“做研究、开展科研”;research为不可数名词,无需变形。
5.句意:该指导方案指出人工智能应当关注帮助学生。固定搭配pay attention to doing sth.,短语中的to是介词,后面接动名词;help意为“帮助”,变为helping,符合语法与句意。
6.句意:它阐释了面向不同年龄段学生开展人工智能教育的目的。定冠词the后需要填入名词;purpose意为“目的”,结合“不同年龄段学生”的语境,使用复数purposes,表示多重教育目标;单数无法契合分层教育的语境。
7.句意:例如,中学生可以在日常生活中借助人工智能学习。固定短语daily life表示“日常生活”;daily是形容词,用来修饰名词life。
8.句意:这将帮助他们更好地应对智能社会中遇到的各类挑战。空格处需要副词修饰动词短语deal with。方框内单词good为形容词,不能修饰动词;句子存在隐含对比,使用AI辅助学习之后,学生会比以往更有能力应对挑战,因此使用good的副词比较级better。
9.句意:早在二月,政府就在中小学实施了184个人工智能专项项目,探索人工智能教育新模式。固定短语carry out表示“实施、开展”,方框内out直接填入,构成固定词组。
10.句意:近些年中国在人工智能研究方面付出巨大努力,计划让更多在校孩子接触人工智能教育。固定搭配make a great effort“付出巨大努力”;句中has提示时态为现在完成时,结构为have/has+动词过去分词,make变形为made。

When we repeatedly check text messages and social media during work, we are weakening our ability to form both short-and long-term memories, experts say. The flooding of information influences our ability to remember, too. Though our brains are designed to look for new data, too much of it may be causing this natural drive to go wild. The compulsion to continuously take in information means we often check social media when we should be doing “memory housekeeping” by giving our brains some rest. Another problem: the effortless way of receiving information online. Trying to actively recall (回忆) data is a good workout for the brain, but today we are using online search tools instead.
However, the internet may be changing only what we remember, not our ability to do so, suggests Columbia University psychologist (心理学家) Betsy Sparrow. In fact, the internet is becoming an outside hard drive for our memories. Some worry that this is having a negative effect on society, but Sparrow suggests this will change our way of learning from a focus on remembering facts to one on understanding ideas.
As is shown in a 2008 study, using the internet exercised the brain more than reading among older adults with strong computer skills. And two Harvard psychologists argue that not needing to remember facts might free our minds to focus on more meaningful tasks.
“There may be costs caused by our increased dependence on the internet, but generally the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,” says Benjamin Storm, a psychologist. “It seems pretty clear that memory is changing, but is it changing for the better? At this point, we don’t know.”

【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,围绕互联网对人类记忆力的影响展开多方观点讨论,一方面指出分心刷屏、被动检索信息会削弱记忆形成能力,另一方面多位研究者认为互联网只是改变记忆存储内容与学习模式,整体利大于弊,但记忆最终向好还是向坏尚无定论。
1. 根据第三段上下文“The compulsion to continuously take in information means we often check social media...”可知,这种“compulsion”驱使人们不断查看社交媒体,甚至影响了大脑休息。结合选项,A项Longing(渴望、强烈愿望)最符合这种难以控制的冲动之意。
2. 根据第四段中Betsy Sparrow的观点“...this will change our way of learning from a focus on remembering facts to one on understanding ideas.”可知,互联网可能会改变我们的学习方式,从关注记忆事实转变为关注理解理念。
3. 根据最后一段Benjamin Storm的话“generally the benefits are going to outweigh those costs”(总体上利大于弊,态度积极)以及“At this point, we don't know.”(目前我们还不知道,表示不确定),可以看出他的态度是积极但仍存不确定性的。
4.通读全文可知,文章第一段提出专家担心互联网导致健忘,随后几段分别引用了Michael Merzenich、Betsy Sparrow、Harvard psychologists以及Benjamin Storm等不同专家的观点,讨论了互联网对记忆力的负面影响和正面改变。作者并未单方面论证某一种信念,而是客观呈现了关于该话题的不同观点。
