A healthy forest is alive with animal calls and birdsong but an unhealthy forest is much quieter. However, that is a big job. Researchers can make thousands of hours of recordings but then someone has to listen to them all and pick out the different animal and bird calls. What if that someone is an AI though? Scientists are using AI technology to help with the task. Through the new Forest Listeners web experiment, scientists want people around the world—including you—to help too. The site gets you to move around a virtual (虚拟的) forest, listening for wildlife. When you find a new species (物种), you listen to its song until you can remember it. The next step is to listen to real forest recordings (there are more than 1.2 million of them), and decide for each one whether you can tell that animal call or not, or if you’re not sure. The answers people give are then used to train AI to tell what animals they are by their sounds. Scientists say that the project helps them process a huge number of recordings. Without AI, it would take many years to study them all. “Every sound tagged (贴标签) by a forest listener helps train our AI models,” the scientists said. “This group effort provides us with valuable information, allowing us to find out small changes in species’ presence and behavior. These are important signs for a healthy forest.” 1．What is a healthy rainforest according to the text? A．A quiet forest. B．A forest with new species. C．A forest full of wildlife sounds. 2．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1? A．Recording wildlife sounds. B．Comparing different animal calls. C．Checking forest health by listening. 3．What is the right order of the experiment? a. Give information to train AI. b. Listen for wildlife in a virtual forest. c. Listen to real forests and tag each sound. A．a-b-c B．b-c-a C．c-a-b 4．How does AI help the scientists? A．By dealing with recordings quickly. B．By remembering new species’ sounds. C．By inviting more people to care for forests. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．Forests are in danger now. B．Helping forests is helping humans. C．Humans together with AI protect forests. （2） （2026·四川自贡·中考真题）A Chinese-made shield tunneling machine (盾构隧道机) named “Linghang” is making history. It’s digging a 14.25-kilometer tunnel to allow high-speed trains to travel under the Yangtze River. It had completed 11.18 kilometers by March 29 this year. “Linghang” is 148 meters long and weighs about 4,000 tons, making it the world’s largest high-speed rail shield tunneling machine. It also has many high technologies, such as a smart digging system and another system to keep water out under high water pressure. Besides, it can give early warnings in real time. These advantages help “Linghang” deal with challenges like huge water pressure, complex geology (复杂的地质) and non-stopping digging. Once finished, the tunnel will allow high-speed trains to cross the river at 350 km/h without slowing down. This project shows China’s growing power in infrastructure (基础建设). Twenty years ago, China had no shield tunneling machines. ▲ But today, Chinese-made shield tunneling machines are sold to over 40 countries, holding 70% of the market of the world. As one engineer said, “This is not just a technical achievement. It shows China’s leading role in building high-speed underwater tunnels.” Under the great river, China is building a road to the future. 1．How long is the tunnel under the Yangtze River? A．148 meters. B．11.18 kilometers. C．14.25 kilometers. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The tunnel. B．The high-speed rail. C．The “Linghang” machine. 3．What do we know about “Linghang”? A．It has a long history. B．It has high technologies. C．It has huge water pressure. 4．Which sentence can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．We had a digging system. B．We had to buy them from abroad. C．We couldn’t cross the Yangtze River. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To explain how “Linghang” works. B．To introduce what “Linghang” looks like. C．To show China’s power in infrastructure. （3） （2026·四川泸州·中考真题）It may sound like a magic story that plants can actually sense sounds around them. A new study by scientists at MIT found that rice seeds (种子) can “hear” the sound of raindrops and use the information to “decide” when to grow. It’s not completely new. Earlier studies have already shown some plants could respond to (反应) the environment. They can sense the sounds when caterpillars eat leaves, and when bees fly past. The new study shows that plants are even smarter than we thought. To make sure the seeds respond to sound instead of water, scientists did a test. They chose to focus on rice seeds because rice is usually planted in water. Thousands of rice seeds were put in water. In this way, all of the seeds could get enough water to grow. Some stayed in quiet water, while others sensed man-made raindrops. The result was surprising. The seeds that “hear” raindrop sounds grew 30 to 40 percent faster than the ones in quiet water. This faster growth helps seeds live better in nature. Scientists also found out why this happens. Falling raindrops create clear vibrations in the water. Inside rice seeds, there are tiny parts called statoliths keeping balance. These parts move quickly when they feel the vibrations, which tells the seeds to start growing earlier. The scientists believe that sensing rain sounds may help seeds make sure they’re in a good place to grow. They think this special ability is not just for rice. 1．What can we learn from paragraph 1? A．Plants have “mouths”. B．Rice seeds have “ears”. C．Bees have sense of taste. D．Insects have magical power. 2．Why did scientists put all seeds in water? A．To test their quality. B．To count their number. C．To set them in the same condition. D．To keep them in quiet environment. 3．Which picture could show the result of the scientific test? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “vibrations” probably mean? A．Shakes. B．Scenes. C．Shapes. D．Smells. 5．What will be probably talked about next? A．How plant seeds keep perfect balance. B．Why rice seeds live better in some places. C．How scientists carry out the rice seeds test. D．Whether other plant seeds share the ability. （4） （2026·四川广元·中考真题）The possibility of living on Mars is being explored after a study proved the discovery of saltwater lakes below the surface of Mars. Billions of years ago, the climate of Mars was warm and wet and had the possibility for hosting microbial (微生物的) life. Scientists are not 100 percent sure what happened to water on it. One popular general idea is solar (太阳的) wind. According to the idea, the solar wind likely blew away CO2 as well as small drops of water from air on Mars over the past billion years, leaving the planet with only 10 percent of its beginning amount of water today. It is just like when we get our skin wet and there are small drops of water on the surface, the wind will finally dry us off, and the water will be carried away. This is very likely to happen to Mars, causing the surface to become hard and dry. This discovery was made with the help of the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spaceship, which sent out radio waves to the planet’s surface. Scientists decided what material their radio waves met with. The area with the supposed bodies of water had high reflectivity (反射率), which is why scientists believe that water is stored below the surface. With temperatures as low as the average on Mars, water is supposed to be frozen. But scientists think that water on Mars is able to keep a water form because of the high level of the salt—so high that the possibility of active life surviving in such a condition is pretty low. With the salty water and an unsuitable climate, Mars is now not fit to live on. But scientists are still trying to learn more about the life forms that once possibly lived on the planet. 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in paragraph 2? A．Earth. B．Solar surface. C．Mars. D．Microbial life. 2．Why is the human’s skin mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To explain the great influence of solar wind. B．To provide further information about Mars. C．To stress the importance of water on Mars. D．To suggest keeping skin from getting dry. 3．How did the researchers prove there is water on Mars? A．By sending out the spaceship to Mars. B．By measuring the amount of salt on Mars. C．By checking the materials collected from Mars. D．By noticing the number of reflected radio waves. 4．What do scientists think of the future living on Mars? A．Comfortable. B．Hopeful. C．Disappointed. D．Uncaring. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Exploration of Energy on Mars B．The Situation of Living Things on Mars C．The Explanation of The Climate on Mars D．The Discovery of Saltwater Lakes on Mars （5） （2026·四川遂宁·中考真题）What are insects 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 saw (锯子). The saw 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 the place where they are laid. There is a kind of bees with their own natural tools, too. The bees live in wood. Like people who make things out of wood, the bees use special tools to dig nests (巢) out of wood. They dig and clean out the nest to make it ready to use. When all is ready, they 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 famous 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 listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By making comparisons. 2．What can we know about the bees from Paragraph 3? A．They use others’ tools to dig nests. B．They dig nests before cutting out leaves. C．They eat pieces of leaves in their nests. D．They clean out their nests with big leaves. 3．Which uses leaves to take in water according to the text? A．An ant. B．A bee. C．A sawfly. D．A butterfly. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Many insects are fun to watch. B．Some insects use plants in daily activities. C．There are different kinds of insects on Earth. D．Insects have special natural tools for their work. 5．Which of the following can best describe the insects? A．Weak and shy. B．Weak but brave. C．Small and kind. D．Small but strong. （6） （2026·四川南充·中考真题）Are you wondering how chocolate tasting could be a job? Though this job sounds like a joke, chocolate producers do need professional tasters to taste their products. In the process of production, tasters are given samples (样本) of chocolates to taste, tell if there is too much of cocoa (可可粉), sugar or any other ingredient, and give opinions on them honestly. In this way, the taste can be improved to be perfect. In a sense, you could call this professional a Quality Control Manager. To be a professional taster is not easy. The necessary skill that they have is a strong sense of taste and smell. They should have professional knowledge about chocolates. In addition, they might have to work long hours to complete large orders of sample tasting within a certain time. It means that they need to be very patient and have physical strength. The job brings a lot to professional tasters. Cherrie Lo, a professional chocolate taster, gets valuable insights (洞察力) into food cultures by exploring new market trends (趋势) in chocolate. Another taster, Rebecca Hsu, gets paid $21,000 a year, which improves her life greatly. The future of the job is promising. With the growth of technology, this job will be still in high need for the coming years. Workers in this field can expect higher pay and more chances for development.

What if you could “taste” it without taking a bite? You can’t feel the coldness in your mouth, but you can taste its sweetness thanks to a tasting device (设备). Scientists created a new device known as the e-Taste. It could make the VR experience even more real. To use the device, the users need to wear it in the mouth. The device has five different chemicals (化学物质) inside. It can mix these chemicals to recreate the tastes of different food or drinks. Then the device sends the taste directly to the user’s tongue. To test their device, the scientists let users wear it. Then users “tasted” different food and drinks with the device. After that, there was a list of possible names for them to choose from. The choices were cake, coffee, fish soup, fried egg, and lemonade. Users easily guessed the tastes of cake and lemonade. However, they had a harder time telling the difference between the rest. While the device still needs improvement, it makes virtual food experiences possible. It could also help people without a sense of taste. More importantly, the device could give scientists new ideas and help them learn about how the brain understands information from the mouth. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By describing a situation. B．By telling a story. C．By giving opinions. D．By listing numbers. 2．What is the e-Taste device able to do? A．To make real food or drinks. B．To store over five different chemicals. C．To mix tastes of all food or drinks. D．To let users taste virtual food or drinks. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．How users wear the e-Taste. B．How the e-Taste works. C．How many tastes the e-Taste recreates. D．How the e-Taste sends tastes. 4．What is the correct order for testing the device in Paragraph 3? ① guess the tastes    ② wear the device    ③ “taste” different food and drinks A．①②③ B．②①③ C．②③① D．③①② 5．According to the sentence “It could also help people without a sense of taste.” in Paragraph 4, the e-Taste device will be probably used for ________ in the future. A．medical treatment B．balanced meals C．chemical experiments D．weight management （8） （2025·四川攀枝花·中考真题）Deserts may seem lifeless, but in fact, many kinds of living things have developed special ways to live in the hard environments. You may think that there are no people living in desert areas. But actually, more than one billion people, one-sixth of the Earth’s population, live there. So what is a desert? Deserts cover more than one-fifth of the Earth’s land area, and they are found on every continent (洲). A place that receives less than 25 cm of rain every year is considered a desert. Only about 20% of deserts are covered by sand. Some have mountains, rocks or lakes. The largest hot desert in the world, northern Africa’s Sahara, even reached temperatures of up to 56℃. But some deserts are always cold, like the Gobi Desert in Asia and the Antarctic Ice Sheet (南极冰盖), which is the world’s coldest. The coldest recorded temperature there is -89℃. The driest desert Chile’s Atacama Desert has parts that receive less than 2 mm of rain a year. Desert animals have their own ways to keep cool and use less water. Camels can go for weeks without water. Many desert animals spend much of their time underground to keep cool. Desert plants may have to live without fresh water for years at a time. Some plants grow long roots (根) that get water from deep in the Earth. Other plants have roots that spread out a long way so they can take in the rain as soon as it falls, such as cactuses (仙人掌). Life is hard in the desert for animals and plants. But they’ve got used to the life there. 1．Which writing skill is used in Paragraph 2? A．Listing numbers. B．Giving reasons. C．Telling stories. D．Asking questions. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Few people live in desert areas. B．All deserts are covered by sand. C．There are deserts on all continents. D．The Gobi Desert in Asia is very hot. 3．Compared with the Sahara Desert, what is the Atacama Desert like? A．Hotter and wetter. B．Hotter and drier. C．Colder and wetter. D．Colder and drier. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．How camels and cactuses stay cool in the high temperatures. B．How desert animals and plants survive the hard environments. C．Why desert animals and plants can live without fresh water. D．Why the hot and dry weather has no influence on desert lives. 5．Where can you probably find this passage? A．A history book. B．A tourist guidebook. C．A science fiction novel. D．A geography magazine. （9） （2025·四川德阳·中考真题）Weiqi, also known as Go in English, is a black and white board game from ancient China. The game is considered one of the Four Arts for ancient Chinese literators (文人) to master. Besides Weiqi, they had to learn Chinese calligraphy (shu), painting (hua) and guqin playing (qin). Weiqi has a history of over 4,000 years, even older than Chinese chess. According to some historical records, Weiqi was known as Yi in its early years. It is said to have been invented by Emperor Yao. Seeing that his son got angry easily and didn’t like to study, the emperor was quite worried. So he decided to find something to educate his son, and a board game came to him. The rules of Weiqi are simple: using black and white stones, two players take turns putting their stones on empty cross points of the board. The aim is to surround (包围) a larger total area on the board while stopping one’s own stones from being taken by the other side. Stones do not move and are only taken off the board if they are completely surrounded. The scene of two people playing Weiqi appears in many traditional Chinese paintings. The image (形象) of a player holding a stone over the board, looking for a place to put it, was later turned into a famous Chinese idiom (成语), which means “unsure about making a move”. The idiom is still widely used today. With its development, Weiqi grew more popular. Later, it spread to other Asian countries and Western countries. Today, it has become an international board game. 1．What are the Four Arts mentioned in the passage? ①Weiqi.    ②Painting.    ③Calligraphy.    ④Guqin playing.    ⑤Dancing. A．①②③④ B．①②③⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．①③④⑤ 2．Why did Emperor Yao invent Weiqi according to paragraph 2? A．To have some fun. B．To teach himself. C．To educate his son. D．To help his people. 3．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read this passage? A．Music. B．News. C．Movies. D．Culture. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．History of Chinese Chess B．Game of Black and White C．Beauty of Four Arts in China D．Development of Chinese Idioms （10） （2025·四川绵阳·中考真题）Sometimes people who are close to you are facing an illness or other big changes in their life. When they go through hard times, you probably wish you could pitch in but might not be sure how. Just wanting to support them is a good place to begin. Here are some ideas to consider. Your friends or family members may feel like talking about what they are going through, or they may not. If they want to share, you can help by listening. If they don’t, that’s OK too. You could also ask how you can support them. You could show them they are in your thoughts by making a card with a note inside, like “Thinking of you!” If possible, ask if they would like to do something together, like taking a walk, watching a movie, or eating out. If it’s a family member who lives far away, you can ask if they want to video chat or talk on the phone. You could also send them photos of your day to help them feel connected. People who care about you want you to keep your daily life as usual, even when they are going through something difficult. But there is something you can do. You just need to make sure what they really need. For example, if a classmate is ill in hospital, helping him catch up with classwork is better than doing the dishes, taking care of a pet, or cleaning the apartment. Remember that your feelings are important, too. It is normal to worry about someone you’re close to, and it can be helpful to talk to your parents, teachers, or someone you trust. You can also ask questions about anything you don’t understand. This is a better choice than searching for information on the Internet. 1．What do the underlined words “pitch in” mean in Paragraph 1? A．forget B．help C．throw D．worry 2．What can you do if your friends want to share their thoughts? A．Make a card. B．Think of them. C．Listen to them. D．Ask a question. 3．How do you make a family member far away feel connected? A．Eating out. B．Watching a movie. C．Shopping online. D．Sharing your photos. 4．Which is the best way to help a classmate in hospital? A．Walking a dog. B．Making the bed. C．Washing plates. D．Sending notebooks. 5．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To show how to support someone. B．To introduce why to make friends. C．To find where to look up information. D．To describe when to mind your feelings. （11） （2025·四川内江·中考真题）Many dry places around the world get very little rain. For people living there, finding water is difficult. Scientists in Chile have a fresh idea: collecting water from fog. Fog is like a cloud near the ground. The scientists studied how to collect water from fog using large mesh (网) screens. When fog passes through these meshes, tiny water drops stay on them. The water then slowly falls into big containers (容器) below. This method is cheap and easy for dry areas. The scientists tested this in a desert town. This town gets only 5 mm of rain each year. Now, trucks send drinking water to the town every week. But a scientist said fog collecting could change this. “Fog water is free and clean,” she explained. She called it “a useful water source” and said “water from clouds” might help cities fight climate problems. “We don’t need to wait for rain anymore,” she added. In Chile, some towns already use fog water. A local teacher shared, “Before, our students carried water to school. Now, the meshes give us some water every day. The children don’t have to carry heavy bottles.” However, the meshes need care. Strong winds can break them, leaving large holes on them. This will greatly reduce their ability to collect water. Therefore, people need to check them quite often. One of the scientists said this method could help towns in dry areas get clean water easily. “It gives hope to dry places,” she added. With fog meshes, life in these towns will become better. 1．What did the scientist call “a useful water source”? A．The cloud. B．The truck. C．Rain water. D．Fog water. 2．Why do people often check the meshes? A．To clean them. B．To design them. C．To repair them. D．To spread them. 3．Where can we read this text? A．In a diary. B．In a newspaper. C．In a storybook. D．In a travel magazine. 4．Which of the following can be a suitable title for this text? A．A creative idea to reuse water B．A fresh way to collect water C．A new plan to send drinking water D．A good method to use rain water （12） （2025·四川乐山·中考真题）Unlike what you may imagine, taking good care of a plant can be difficult, especially when it comes to how to water a plant. Many people are not sure how often or how much they need to water their plants. Even some farmers may have the same problem. Luckily, a new technology called GrowStream can help them “talk” to their plants. GrowStream is a watering system. Its tubes (管子) have special tiny holes in them. When plants need water, they will release (释放) chemicals (化学物质) through their roots. When the holes detect (察觉) these chemicals, they will open. The plants then get water from these holes. As the plants “drink” enough water, they stop releasing these chemicals. And that “tells” the holes to close back up and stop watering. This system can help save 45 to 50 percent more water than common watering systems. It was created by a company called RDI. The company has brought the GrowStream system to many farms in South Africa. It is also testing the system in the US. It will be used to make the city greener while saving more water. “GrowStream is more than just a technology,” said Jan Gould, CEO of RDI. “We want it to ‘talk’ to people, too. It ‘says’ two things: The earth’s natural resources (资源) are not so much, and we should take better care of the planet through new technology.” 1．Why is it difficult to water a plant? A．Plants need too much water. B．It is hard to discover whether the plant needs water. C．Watering a plant takes too much time. D．Some farmers don’t teach you how to water a plant. 2．How does GrowStream make sure plants “drink” enough water? A．By providing water all the time. B．By releasing chemicals to help the plants “drink” enough water. C．By putting water into the plants’ roots. D．By detecting the amount of chemicals that the plants release. 3．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．Plants. B．Holes. C．Chemicals. D．Tubes. 4．What is the main advantage of this new system? A．Saving time. B．Easy to use. C．Saving water. D．Cheap to buy. 5．What does Jan Gould mean by saying the words? A．The earth is heavily polluted. B．People can talk with GrowStream. C．We have to find more natural resources. D．New technology can help save natural resources. （13） （2025·四川眉山·中考真题）Have you seen circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特征) of characters in the scenes. Circles represent (象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you’ll find they’re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Cartoon characters in round shapes can be friendly and happy. B．Cartoon characters with a square face can be lovely and full of energy. C．Cartoon characters drawn with triangles can be good and brave. D．Cartoon characters in triangles can be easy to get along with. 3．What does the underlined word “stable” mean in Paragraph 4? A．完整的 B．稳固的 C．常见的 D．规则的 4．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1...) A． B． C． D． （14） （2024·四川自贡·中考真题）April 24th is Space Day of China. Ever since Yang Liwei made it to space in 2003, about 20 Chinese astronauts have been sent into space. In space, astronauts face many problems. There is little gravity (重力) there, which influences their bodies. Also, being away from family and friends and staying in a tiny spaceship for a long time can make them feel sad or stressed out. What’s more, if something goes wrong suddenly, they have to fix it under huge pressure. That’s why astronauts have to be smart, strong, and ready for any challenge before they can go to space. To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their tasks and return to Earth safely, 8 kinds, including over 200 subjects of training, are set. Besides physical training, basic science knowledge and mock (模拟) tasks are included. Before astronauts can go to space, they train like this for at least three and a half years. In China’s manned space project, one of the most difficult parts of the training is the underwater training. This helps astronauts get ready for the weightless environment in space. And they wear diving suits (潜水服) over 100 kilos and stay underwater for six hours every time. 1．What problem do astronauts face according to paragraph 2? A．They have to train under huge pressure. B．They are influenced by little gravity in space. C．They often worry about their family and friends. 2．What do astronauts need to do before going to space? A．Master basic science knowledge. B．Experience 8 subjects of training. C．Get three years of underwater training. 3．What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A．A diving suit. B．Underwater training. C．China’s manned space project. 4．What can be the best title for this text? A．Work Hard to Live in Space B．Train Hard to Work in Space C．Deal with Problems in Space （15） （2024·四川攀枝花·中考真题）Junk food is any unhealthy food that is high in fat, sugar and calories, but low in nutrition (营养), such as French fries, hamburgers, chips and colas. Such foods are often tasty, quick and convenient. When teens come home from school, the first thing is mostly to unwind by sitting in front of the TV with a big bag of chips and a can of cola or any other sugar- filled drinks. They have unknowingly walked into the world of junk food, not realizing the danger. According to the research, teenagers who often have junk food may have serious metabolic diseases (新陈代谢疾病) in the future, overweight being one of them. So avoiding junk food is a must for them. The study has also found compared with adults, teenagers today are more likely to eat junk food. Since lots of parents are busy with work and have no time to cook, teenagers are introduced to fast food at a young age, which makes it difficult for them to realize the importance of eating food for nutrition. Besides, everything is available so easily online, especially ordering junk food, which makes it a lot easier for them to live a not so healthy life. Once teenagers get the delicious taste of junk food, they are likely to keep on having it more often than home-made dishes. ___________ It all starts with parents. They should create an environment that helps protect their children’s health and also develop their right eating habits. These habits will turn into a healthy lifestyle, which in turn will help them in the long run to be better adults. 1．What do we know about junk food according to the passage? A．It is high in nutrition. B．It is low in fat, sugar and calories. C．It is often delicious and convenient. D．It includes fried chicken, ice-cream and dumplings. 2．What does the underlined word “unwind” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Play. B．Relax. C．Wait. D．Learn. 3．How many reasons why teenagers prefer junk food are mentioned in paragraph 3? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 4．Which sentence can be put in ________? A．What can teenagers do to keep healthy? B．What harm could junk food bring to teenagers? C．Why should parents stop giving them junk food? D．What can be done to keep teenagers away from junk food? 5．What can we learn from this passage? A．Teenagers go into the world of junk food by accident. B．Teenagers who often eat junk food must have serious diseases. C．Teenagers should firstly take action to change their eating habits. D．Eating junk food is a must for teenagers because of their busy parents. （16） （2024·四川德阳·中考真题）If you see a girl and a boy throwing two baby puffins (海鹦) off a cliff (悬崖) on the Westman Islands, you may not understand why they’re doing so. In fact, they are just trying to help save them. Puffins are the most common birds on the Westman Islands in Iceland. Different from most sea birds, they are able to go under water to 60 meters deep to catch fish. Each spring, they lay eggs in holes on cliffs. 40 days later, they will fly back to the sea, leaving the young there. Baby puffins would spend about six weeks in the holes alone before they are ready to fly to the sea. In the past, young puffins could easily find the sea with the help of the moonlight. But now, bright lights of the city often make them lose their way. Many of them end up flying into the town. However, it’s not an easy thing for young puffins to fly up and find food in the town, so they may lose their lives there. That’s why people on the Westman Islands have decided to help those young puffins. In late summer, when young puffins leave their holes, local people often go out to look for the missing puffins at night. If they find one, they would pick it up and put it in a box. The next day, they would take it to the cliff and throw it off. In this way, young puffins can fly safely to their new home for the next few years. The unusual tradition also helps make sure the puffins will be back to their holes another year. A puffin lays one egg each year at most, so the help from the people on the Westman Islands is of great importance to the survival (生存) of puffins. 1．Why are the boy and the girl throwing the baby puffins off a cliff? A．To have fun. B．To hurt them. C．To take photos. D．To help them. 2．When do puffins lay eggs? A．In spring. B．In summer. C．In autumn. D．In winter. 3．What can we know from the passage? A．Puffins spend 40 days at sea every year. B．Young puffins find it easy to live in the town. C．Local people often take puffins home as pets. D．The help from local people is important to puffins. 4．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To teach teenagers how to feed puffins. B．To introduce a special way to save puffins. C．To help local people raise money for puffins. D．To encourage readers to visit the Westman Islands. （1） （2026·四川成都·二模）Rainforests are home to many kinds of plants, birds and animals. Can you believe that a small group of bushes in the Amazon may have more types of ants than all of Britain? About 480 kinds of trees can be found in just 10,000 square meters of rainforest. Rainforests are the “lungs of the Earth”. They breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 for all living things. They have their own ways to stay alive—tall trees form a top layer of leaves and branches, protecting themselves, small plants and animals from heavy rain, strong heat and strong winds. Surprisingly, the trees grow in a special way. Although their leaves and branches are close to each other, they never really touch those of other trees. Scientists think this can help stop tree illnesses from spreading and make it difficult for leaf-eating insects to live. To live in the forest, animals have to climb, jump or fly across these spaces. Different from what we see in films, the ground of the rainforest is not full of thick leaves and bushes. It is quite clear. Dead leaves turn into food for trees and other living things there. Rainforests can make 75% of their own rain. Every year, the rain is usually about 2032 mm, and in some places, it can be as much as 10922 mm. Such heavy rain can make small rivers rise about 3 to 6 meters in only two hours. The wet air in rainforests also helps make rain clouds for other countries that need rain. 1．Why are rainforests called the “lungs of the Earth”? A．Because they have many tall trees. B．Because they give homes to many animals. C．Because they take in CO2 and make O2 for the world. 2．How does the top layer of tall trees help the rainforest? A．It stops trees from touching each other. B．It protects living things there from bad weather. C．It provides enough living space for leaf-eating insects. 3．Why don’t the branches and leaves of different trees touch each other? A．To help animals jump across the spaces. B．To make leaf-eating insects live more easily. C．To help stop tree illnesses and harmful insects. 4．What can we learn about rainforests in the last paragraph? A．They need much rain from other places. B．The wet air from them helps other countries. C．Heavy rain in rainforests is bad for small rivers. 5．Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A．Nature. B．Life. C．Science. （2） （2026·四川泸州·二模）Technology has changed our lives in many ways. One of the most useful developments is artificial intelligence (AI). Many people think AI is only for young people, but it is also helping old people live better and more independently. Many old people have problems with daily life. For example, they often forget to take medicine, find it hard to move around, or feel lonely because they can’t keep in touch with their family easily. Some of them also think modern technology is too difficult to use. But AI machines are helping a lot. Smart speakers can help old people set reminders to take medicine, know the weather, and turn lights on or off just by using their voices. AI apps on phones can also watch over health. They can check heart rates and remind people to drink water or do some exercise. Some hospitals use AI to give medical advice online, so old people don’t have to go to hospitals often. My grandfather is a good example. He didn’t like technology before because he thought it was too difficult. However, everything changed when we introduced him to a smart speaker. Now, he can use it to listen to stories, call friends, and even buy daily things online. AI has made his life more convenient and enjoyable. AI is not only for young people. It is also helping old people. In the future, AI will help them live more independently, stay connected with families and keep healthy. 1．What is one challenge that many old people face? A．They don’t need to take medicine. B．AI technology is not useful for them. C．Daily activities can be difficult for them. D．They don’t like communicating with their families. 2．How do AI machines help old people? A．They cook delicious food for them. B．They remind them to take medicine. C．They take them to the hospital. D．They teach them how to write. 3．Why does the writer use his grandfather as an example? A．To prove how smart his grandfather is. B．To tell readers how to use a smart speaker. C．To prove that AI can make old people’s lives better. D．To explain why some old people don’t like technology. 4．What can we learn from the story? A．AI can work better than doctors. B．Smart speakers cost too much money. C．AI is useful for people of different ages. D．Old people should stay away from technology. 5．What is the main purpose of the passage?

D．To compare AI usage between young and old people. （3） （2026·四川德阳·二模）These days, Futian District (福田区) in Shenzhen is famous for its 24-hour smart food cabinets (储藏柜). Like warm lights in the city, these cabinets give free fresh food to people in need all day and all night. This project started in May 2022. The government leads it. Companies give food for free. So far, there are 22 smart cabinets in Futian. They have safe food like bread, fruit and vegetables. There is a nice activity called “veteran steamed buns (馒头)”. An old soldier uses his own money to make buns for people. It has become a very warm part of this project. Most of the food comes from 87 shops and companies. Companies that give food can get tax (税) cuts and public thanks. This makes more people want to join. They give extra food, or expired food that is almost out of date but still safe to eat. The project has easy rules: poor families, disabled people and cleaners can book free food on the “i Shenzhen” App before 8 p.m. Everyone can take the leftover food after 8 p.m. This helps stop food waste. Over the past 3.5 years, this project has helped 484, 000 people. It has saved 195 tons of food from being thrown away. It has also cut about 390 tons of waste gas. This is not just giving out food. It makes the community nicer and warmer. It also helps protect the environment.

They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. ★ . Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey. 1．What do the two examples in the first paragraph show? A．Brains help our bodies work well. B．Human brains are different. C．Humans can touch their noses easily. D．People have many living habits. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．It’s fun to study our ancestors’ life B．It’s easy to learn about senses C．Animals help people in many ways D．Brains are also life-saving heroes 3．Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? A． B． C． D． 4．According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A．You can tie your shoes without looking. B．You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C．You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D．You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. 5．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A．To improve people’s memory. B．To encourage brain studies. C．To show the value of our brains. D．To admire scientists’ efforts. 试卷第1页，共3页 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解说明文 3年真题1年模拟 （1） （2026·四川成都·中考真题） 1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C （2） （2026·四川自贡·中考真题） 1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C （3） （2026·四川泸州·中考真题） 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．D （4） （2026·四川广元·中考真题） 1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．D （5） （2026·四川遂宁·中考真题） 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．D （6） （2026·四川南充·中考真题） 1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A （7） （2026·四川广安·中考真题） 1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．A （8） （2025·四川攀枝花·中考真题） 1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D （9） （2025·四川德阳·中考真题） 1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B （10） （2025·四川绵阳·中考真题） 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．A （11） （2025·四川内江·中考真题） 1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B （12） （2025·四川乐山·中考真题） 1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D （13） （2025·四川眉山·中考真题） 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A （14） （2024·四川自贡·中考真题） 1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B （15） （2024·四川攀枝花·中考真题） 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A （16） （2024·四川德阳·中考真题） 1．D 2．A 3．D 4．B （1） （2026·四川成都·二模） 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A （2） （2026·四川泸州·二模） 1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．B （3） （2026·四川德阳·二模） 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B （4） （2026·四川绵阳·二模） 1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．B 试卷第1页，共3页 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题04 阅读理解说明文 3年真题1年模拟 考点分类 四川考情（2024-2026） 命题规律 阅读理解 说明文 2026·四川成都 2026·四川自贡 2026·四川泸州 2026·四川广元 2026·四川遂宁 2026·四川南充 2026·四川广安 四川各地市卷，说明文大多放在C或者D篇，难度偏高； 一 .常考选材方向 自然科普：动物习性、植物、环境问题、保护野生动物 科技小知识：日常科技产品、新技术对生活的影响。 健康生活：睡眠、运动、饮食习惯、情绪调节方式。 文化类说明：某一种传统工艺、特色建筑、地方习俗（川蜀文化素材出现概率高）。 二．做题建议 1.细节题：拿题干关键词定位段落，把选项每一条描述和原文比对 2.推理题：原文直白陈述的选项直接排除；选择合理并且文中有暗示的表述。 3.标题题：标题必须包含说明对象，同时涵盖它的核心特点。 2025·四川攀枝花 2025·四川德阳 2025·四川绵阳 2025·四川内江 2025·四川乐山 2025·四川眉山 2024·四川自贡 2024·四川攀枝花 2024·四川德阳 （1） （2026·四川成都·中考真题）Scientists tell how healthy rainforests are by listening to the sounds of their wildlife. A healthy forest is alive with animal calls and birdsong but an unhealthy forest is much quieter. However, that is a big job. Researchers can make thousands of hours of recordings but then someone has to listen to them all and pick out the different animal and bird calls. What if that someone is an AI though? Scientists are using AI technology to help with the task. Through the new Forest Listeners web experiment, scientists want people around the world—including you—to help too. The site gets you to move around a virtual (虚拟的) forest, listening for wildlife. When you find a new species (物种), you listen to its song until you can remember it. The next step is to listen to real forest recordings (there are more than 1.2 million of them), and decide for each one whether you can tell that animal call or not, or if you’re not sure. The answers people give are then used to train AI to tell what animals they are by their sounds. Scientists say that the project helps them process a huge number of recordings. Without AI, it would take many years to study them all. “Every sound tagged (贴标签) by a forest listener helps train our AI models,” the scientists said. “This group effort provides us with valuable information, allowing us to find out small changes in species’ presence and behavior. These are important signs for a healthy forest.” 1．What is a healthy rainforest according to the text? A．A quiet forest. B．A forest with new species. C．A forest full of wildlife sounds. 2．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in Paragraph 1? A．Recording wildlife sounds. B．Comparing different animal calls. C．Checking forest health by listening. 3．What is the right order of the experiment? a. Give information to train AI. b. Listen for wildlife in a virtual forest. c. Listen to real forests and tag each sound. A．a-b-c B．b-c-a C．c-a-b 4．How does AI help the scientists? A．By dealing with recordings quickly. B．By remembering new species’ sounds. C．By inviting more people to care for forests. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．Forests are in danger now. B．Helping forests is helping humans. C．Humans together with AI protect forests. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C 【知识点】环境保护、说明文、科学技术 【导语】本文介绍了科学家通过聆听雨林野生动物的声音来判断森林健康状况的方法，以及利用人工智能和公众参与的“Forest Listeners”项目来高效处理录音数据的新方式。 【详解】1．原文第一段提到“A healthy forest is alive with animal calls and birdsong but an unhealthy forest is much quieter.”，说明健康的雨林充满了野生动物的声音。 2．第一段提到“Scientists tell how healthy rainforests are by listening to the sounds of their wildlife...However, that is a big job.”，这里的“that”指代前文提到的通过聆听声音来判断森林健康状况的整个工作。 3．文中描述实验步骤：首先“The site gets you to move around a virtual forest, listening for wildlife”（b），然后“listen to real forest recordings...decide for each one whether you can tell that animal call or not”（c），最后“The answers people give are then used to train AI”（a），因此正确顺序是b-c-a。 4．文中第四段提到“Without AI, it would take many years to study them all”，说明AI可以帮助科学家快速处理大量录音数据。 5．全文围绕人类通过“Forest Listeners”项目与AI合作，共同处理录音数据、保护雨林的主题展开。 （2） （2026·四川自贡·中考真题）A Chinese-made shield tunneling machine (盾构隧道机) named “Linghang” is making history. It’s digging a 14.25-kilometer tunnel to allow high-speed trains to travel under the Yangtze River. It had completed 11.18 kilometers by March 29 this year. “Linghang” is 148 meters long and weighs about 4,000 tons, making it the world’s largest high-speed rail shield tunneling machine. It also has many high technologies, such as a smart digging system and another system to keep water out under high water pressure. Besides, it can give early warnings in real time. These advantages help “Linghang” deal with challenges like huge water pressure, complex geology (复杂的地质) and non-stopping digging. Once finished, the tunnel will allow high-speed trains to cross the river at 350 km/h without slowing down. This project shows China’s growing power in infrastructure (基础建设). Twenty years ago, China had no shield tunneling machines. ▲ But today, Chinese-made shield tunneling machines are sold to over 40 countries, holding 70% of the market of the world. As one engineer said, “This is not just a technical achievement. It shows China’s leading role in building high-speed underwater tunnels.” Under the great river, China is building a road to the future. 1．How long is the tunnel under the Yangtze River? A．148 meters. B．11.18 kilometers. C．14.25 kilometers. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The tunnel. B．The high-speed rail. C．The “Linghang” machine. 3．What do we know about “Linghang”? A．It has a long history. B．It has high technologies. C．It has huge water pressure. 4．Which sentence can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．We had a digging system. B．We had to buy them from abroad. C．We couldn’t cross the Yangtze River. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To explain how “Linghang” works. B．To introduce what “Linghang” looks like. C．To show China’s power in infrastructure. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【知识点】说明文、科学技术、发明与创造 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国制造的超大型盾构隧道机“领航”号正在长江下掘进14.25公里的高铁隧道，彰显中国在高端基建装备与水下隧道技术领域的全球领先地位，从二十年前“零起跑”到如今占据全球七成市场，标志着中国正以科技实力铺就通向未来的道路。 【详解】1．第一段提到“It’s digging a 14.25-kilometer tunnel to allow high-speed trains to travel under the Yangtze River”，说明长江下的隧道全长为14.25公里。 2．第二段提到“‘Linghang’ is 148 meters long and weighs about 4,000 tons, making it the world’s largest…”，句子主语是“Linghang”，划线单词it指代的就是这台名为“领航”的盾构隧道机。 3．第二段提到“It also has many high technologies, such as a smart digging system”，说明“领航”号拥有许多高科技。 4．根据第三段上下文逻辑，前句说“Twenty years ago, China had no shield tunneling machines”，后句说“But today, Chinese-made shield tunneling machines are sold to over 40 countries, holding 70% of the market of the world”，中间空缺处应体现从“没有”到“出口”之间的过渡状态，即曾经需要依赖进口。B项“我们不得不从国外购买”符合语境逻辑。 5．文章虽然介绍了“领航”号盾构机，但第三段首句点明了核心主题“This project shows China’s growing power in infrastructure”，该项目显示了中国在基础设施建设方面日益增长的实力，结尾也升华到中国正在建设通往未来的道路。因此写作目的是展示中国基建实力。 （3） （2026·四川泸州·中考真题）It may sound like a magic story that plants can actually sense sounds around them. A new study by scientists at MIT found that rice seeds (种子) can “hear” the sound of raindrops and use the information to “decide” when to grow. It’s not completely new. Earlier studies have already shown some plants could respond to (反应) the environment. They can sense the sounds when caterpillars eat leaves, and when bees fly past. The new study shows that plants are even smarter than we thought. To make sure the seeds respond to sound instead of water, scientists did a test. They chose to focus on rice seeds because rice is usually planted in water. Thousands of rice seeds were put in water. In this way, all of the seeds could get enough water to grow. Some stayed in quiet water, while others sensed man-made raindrops. The result was surprising. The seeds that “hear” raindrop sounds grew 30 to 40 percent faster than the ones in quiet water. This faster growth helps seeds live better in nature. Scientists also found out why this happens. Falling raindrops create clear vibrations in the water. Inside rice seeds, there are tiny parts called statoliths keeping balance. These parts move quickly when they feel the vibrations, which tells the seeds to start growing earlier. The scientists believe that sensing rain sounds may help seeds make sure they’re in a good place to grow. They think this special ability is not just for rice. 1．What can we learn from paragraph 1? A．Plants have “mouths”. B．Rice seeds have “ears”. C．Bees have sense of taste. D．Insects have magical power. 2．Why did scientists put all seeds in water? A．To test their quality. B．To count their number. C．To set them in the same condition. D．To keep them in quiet environment. 3．Which picture could show the result of the scientific test? A． B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “vibrations” probably mean? A．Shakes. B．Scenes. C．Shapes. D．Smells. 5．What will be probably talked about next? A．How plant seeds keep perfect balance. B．Why rice seeds live better in some places. C．How scientists carry out the rice seeds test. D．Whether other plant seeds share the ability. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．D 【知识点】科普知识、说明文、植物 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了麻省理工学院的一项新研究发现，水稻种子能够“听到”雨滴声并利用这一信息决定何时生长，揭示了植物比我们想象的更聪明。 【详解】1．第一段提到“A new study by scientists at MIT found that rice seeds (种子) can ‘hear’ the sound of raindrops...”，这直接说明了水稻种子有类似“耳朵”的功能，能感知声音。 2．第二段提到“In this way, all of the seeds could get enough water to grow.”，科学家将所有种子放在水中是为了保证所有种子都能获得足够的水分，控制变量，保证除声音外所有条件一致。 3．第三段提到“The seeds that ‘hear’ raindrop sounds grew 30 to 40 percent faster than the ones in quiet water.”，这直接说明了听到雨滴声的种子比在安静水中的种子长得更快，因此有雨滴的一组种子萌发后更高更大，安静组种子更小，D选项的图符合这一结果。 4．第三段提到“These parts move quickly when they feel the vibrations...”，结合语境雨滴落下产生振动导致内部微粒移动，这直接说明了“vibrations”的意思是“震动”，和Shakes意义相近。 5．最后一段提到“They think this special ability is not just for rice.”，科学家认为这种特殊能力并非只有水稻拥有，因此接下来最可能讨论其他植物种子是否也具备该能力。 （4） （2026·四川广元·中考真题）The possibility of living on Mars is being explored after a study proved the discovery of saltwater lakes below the surface of Mars. Billions of years ago, the climate of Mars was warm and wet and had the possibility for hosting microbial (微生物的) life. Scientists are not 100 percent sure what happened to water on it. One popular general idea is solar (太阳的) wind. According to the idea, the solar wind likely blew away CO2 as well as small drops of water from air on Mars over the past billion years, leaving the planet with only 10 percent of its beginning amount of water today. It is just like when we get our skin wet and there are small drops of water on the surface, the wind will finally dry us off, and the water will be carried away. This is very likely to happen to Mars, causing the surface to become hard and dry. This discovery was made with the help of the European Space Agency’s Mars Express spaceship, which sent out radio waves to the planet’s surface. Scientists decided what material their radio waves met with. The area with the supposed bodies of water had high reflectivity (反射率), which is why scientists believe that water is stored below the surface. With temperatures as low as the average on Mars, water is supposed to be frozen. But scientists think that water on Mars is able to keep a water form because of the high level of the salt—so high that the possibility of active life surviving in such a condition is pretty low. With the salty water and an unsuitable climate, Mars is now not fit to live on. But scientists are still trying to learn more about the life forms that once possibly lived on the planet. 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in paragraph 2? A．Earth. B．Solar surface. C．Mars. D．Microbial life. 2．Why is the human’s skin mentioned in paragraph 3? A．To explain the great influence of solar wind. B．To provide further information about Mars. C．To stress the importance of water on Mars. D．To suggest keeping skin from getting dry. 3．How did the researchers prove there is water on Mars? A．By sending out the spaceship to Mars. B．By measuring the amount of salt on Mars. C．By checking the materials collected from Mars. D．By noticing the number of reflected radio waves. 4．What do scientists think of the future living on Mars? A．Comfortable. B．Hopeful. C．Disappointed. D．Uncaring. 5．What’s the best title of the passage? A．The Exploration of Energy on Mars B．The Situation of Living Things on Mars C．The Explanation of The Climate on Mars D．The Discovery of Saltwater Lakes on Mars 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．D 【知识点】说明文、天体与宇宙 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了‌火星地下咸水湖相关的科学研究与推论，研究证实火星地下存在咸水湖，数十亿年前火星曾温暖宜居，主流观点认为太阳风夺走了火星绝大多数水分，如今靠欧空局探测器的高反射率探测确认了地下储水，但高盐低温环境几乎无法留存生命，当下火星仍不适合居住。 【详解】1．根据第二段前一句“Billions of years ago, the climate of Mars was warm and wet...”可知，科学家不确定的是火星上的水发生了什么，因此代词it指代的是Mars。 2．第三段将火星表面水分流失比作风吹干湿润的皮肤（It is just like when we get our skin wet... the wind will finally dry us off），旨在通过类比生动地解释太阳风（solar wind）对火星水分流失的巨大影响，导致火星表面变得干燥。 3．根据第四段“Scientists decided what material their radio waves met with. The area with the supposed bodies of water had high reflectivity...”可知，科学家是通过发射无线电波并检测其反射率（reflected radio waves）来证明火星表面下存在水的。 4．文章最后一段“With the salty water and an unsuitable climate, Mars is now not fit to live on. But scientists are still trying to learn more about the life forms that once possibly lived on the planet.”提到火星目前不适宜居住，但科学家仍在探索火星宜居的可能性、坚持研究火星，说明对未来人类在火星居住仍抱有希望。 5．文章首段即点明主题“The possibility of living on Mars is being explored after a study proved the discovery of saltwater lakes...”，随后围绕火星咸水湖的发现、成因、探测方法及意义展开，因此“火星咸水湖的发现”是最合适的标题。 （5） （2026·四川遂宁·中考真题）What are insects 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 saw (锯子). The saw 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 the place where they are laid. There is a kind of bees with their own natural tools, too. The bees live in wood. Like people who make things out of wood, the bees use special tools to dig nests (巢) out of wood. They dig and clean out the nest to make it ready to use. When all is ready, they 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 famous 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 listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By making comparisons. 2．What can we know about the bees from Paragraph 3? A．They use others’ tools to dig nests. B．They dig nests before cutting out leaves. C．They eat pieces of leaves in their nests. D．They clean out their nests with big leaves. 3．Which uses leaves to take in water according to the text? A．An ant. B．A bee. C．A sawfly. D．A butterfly. 4．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Many insects are fun to watch. B．Some insects use plants in daily activities. C．There are different kinds of insects on Earth. D．Insects have special natural tools for their work. 5．Which of the following can best describe the insects? A．Weak and shy. B．Weak but brave. C．Small and kind. D．Small but strong. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．D 【知识点】常见动物、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了昆虫的智慧，重点讲述了不同昆虫如何使用天然工具完成产卵、筑巢、取水等任务。 【详解】1．根据文章第一段开头“What are insects like in your eyes? Have you ever noticed them?”可知，作者通过提出两个问题来引入话题。 2．根据第三段“They dig and clean out the nest... When all is ready, they cut out pieces of leaves...”可知，蜜蜂是先挖掘清理巢穴，准备好之后再切割叶子，即挖巢在切叶之前。 3．根据第四段“Ants are also famous for their clever use of natural tools. For example, they drop pieces of leaves into water so that they take in the water.”可知，蚂蚁利用叶子吸水。 4．文章第一段提出昆虫即使很小也有工具，随后分别介绍了叶蜂、蜜蜂和蚂蚁如何利用天然工具（锯子、挖掘工具、叶子）进行产卵、筑巢和取水等工作，全文围绕“昆虫与工具”展开。 5．根据第一段“They may be small, but they are smart and hard-working.”可知，昆虫虽然体型小，但聪明且勤劳，具有很强的生存和工作能力。选项 D“Small but strong”最能体现这种反差和特点。 （6） （2026·四川南充·中考真题）Are you wondering how chocolate tasting could be a job?

You may think that there are no people living in desert areas. But actually, more than one billion people, one-sixth of the Earth’s population, live there. So what is a desert? Deserts cover more than one-fifth of the Earth’s land area, and they are found on every continent (洲). A place that receives less than 25 cm of rain every year is considered a desert. Only about 20% of deserts are covered by sand. Some have mountains, rocks or lakes. The largest hot desert in the world, northern Africa’s Sahara, even reached temperatures of up to 56℃. But some deserts are always cold, like the Gobi Desert in Asia and the Antarctic Ice Sheet (南极冰盖), which is the world’s coldest. The coldest recorded temperature there is -89℃. The driest desert Chile’s Atacama Desert has parts that receive less than 2 mm of rain a year. Desert animals have their own ways to keep cool and use less water. Camels can go for weeks without water. Many desert animals spend much of their time underground to keep cool. Desert plants may have to live without fresh water for years at a time. Some plants grow long roots (根) that get water from deep in the Earth. Other plants have roots that spread out a long way so they can take in the rain as soon as it falls, such as cactuses (仙人掌). Life is hard in the desert for animals and plants. But they’ve got used to the life there. 1．Which writing skill is used in Paragraph 2? A．Listing numbers. B．Giving reasons. C．Telling stories. D．Asking questions. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Few people live in desert areas. B．All deserts are covered by sand. C．There are deserts on all continents. D．The Gobi Desert in Asia is very hot. 3．Compared with the Sahara Desert, what is the Atacama Desert like? A．Hotter and wetter. B．Hotter and drier. C．Colder and wetter. D．Colder and drier. 4．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．How camels and cactuses stay cool in the high temperatures. B．How desert animals and plants survive the hard environments. C．Why desert animals and plants can live without fresh water. D．Why the hot and dry weather has no influence on desert lives. 5．Where can you probably find this passage? A．A history book.

D．A geography magazine. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 5．D 【知识点】地理概况、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了沙漠的相关知识，包括沙漠的定义、分布、温度、动植物生存方式等，最后说明沙漠动植物已适应艰苦环境。 【详解】1．第二段提到：“Deserts cover more than one-fifth of the Earth’s land area”，“less than 25 cm of rain every year”以及“Only about 20% of deserts”，这直接说明了第二段运用了列数字的写作手法。 2．第二段提到：“they are found on every continent”，这直接说明了各大洲都有沙漠。 3．第三段提到：“…Sahara, even reached temperatures of up to 56℃”以及“The driest desert Chile’s Atacama Desert has parts that receive less than 2 mm of rain a year”，撒哈拉沙漠是世界最大的热沙漠，最高温可达56℃，阿塔卡马沙漠是世界最干旱的沙漠，年降雨量不足2mm，整体温度远低于撒哈拉沙漠，因此相比撒哈拉，阿塔卡马更冷更干旱。 4．第四段提到：“Desert animals have their own ways to keep cool and use less water”和“Desert plants may have to live without fresh water for years at a time”，这直接说明了第四段主要讲述沙漠动植物如何在艰苦环境中生存。 5．全文围绕沙漠的地理特征、气候、动植物生存展开介绍，这直接说明了本文可能出自地理杂志。 （9） （2025·四川德阳·中考真题）Weiqi, also known as Go in English, is a black and white board game from ancient China. The game is considered one of the Four Arts for ancient Chinese literators (文人) to master. Besides Weiqi, they had to learn Chinese calligraphy (shu), painting (hua) and guqin playing (qin). Weiqi has a history of over 4,000 years, even older than Chinese chess. According to some historical records, Weiqi was known as Yi in its early years. It is said to have been invented by Emperor Yao. Seeing that his son got angry easily and didn’t like to study, the emperor was quite worried. So he decided to find something to educate his son, and a board game came to him. The rules of Weiqi are simple: using black and white stones, two players take turns putting their stones on empty cross points of the board. The aim is to surround (包围) a larger total area on the board while stopping one’s own stones from being taken by the other side. Stones do not move and are only taken off the board if they are completely surrounded. The scene of two people playing Weiqi appears in many traditional Chinese paintings. The image (形象) of a player holding a stone over the board, looking for a place to put it, was later turned into a famous Chinese idiom (成语), which means “unsure about making a move”. The idiom is still widely used today. With its development, Weiqi grew more popular. Later, it spread to other Asian countries and Western countries. Today, it has become an international board game. 1．What are the Four Arts mentioned in the passage? ①Weiqi.    ②Painting.    ③Calligraphy.    ④Guqin playing.    ⑤Dancing.

When they go through hard times, you probably wish you could pitch in but might not be sure how. Just wanting to support them is a good place to begin. Here are some ideas to consider. Your friends or family members may feel like talking about what they are going through, or they may not. If they want to share, you can help by listening. If they don’t, that’s OK too. You could also ask how you can support them. You could show them they are in your thoughts by making a card with a note inside, like “Thinking of you!” If possible, ask if they would like to do something together, like taking a walk, watching a movie, or eating out. If it’s a family member who lives far away, you can ask if they want to video chat or talk on the phone. You could also send them photos of your day to help them feel connected. People who care about you want you to keep your daily life as usual, even when they are going through something difficult. But there is something you can do. You just need to make sure what they really need. For example, if a classmate is ill in hospital, helping him catch up with classwork is better than doing the dishes, taking care of a pet, or cleaning the apartment. Remember that your feelings are important, too. It is normal to worry about someone you’re close to, and it can be helpful to talk to your parents, teachers, or someone you trust.

For people living there, finding water is difficult. Scientists in Chile have a fresh idea: collecting water from fog. Fog is like a cloud near the ground. The scientists studied how to collect water from fog using large mesh (网) screens. When fog passes through these meshes, tiny water drops stay on them. The water then slowly falls into big containers (容器) below. This method is cheap and easy for dry areas. The scientists tested this in a desert town. This town gets only 5 mm of rain each year. Now, trucks send drinking water to the town every week. But a scientist said fog collecting could change this. “Fog water is free and clean,” she explained. She called it “a useful water source” and said “water from clouds” might help cities fight climate problems. “We don’t need to wait for rain anymore,” she added. In Chile, some towns already use fog water. A local teacher shared, “Before, our students carried water to school. Now, the meshes give us some water every day. The children don’t have to carry heavy bottles.” However, the meshes need care. Strong winds can break them, leaving large holes on them. This will greatly reduce their ability to collect water. Therefore, people need to check them quite often. One of the scientists said this method could help towns in dry areas get clean water easily. “It gives hope to dry places,” she added. With fog meshes, life in these towns will become better. 1．What did the scientist call “a useful water source”? A．The cloud. B．The truck. C．Rain water. D．Fog water. 2．Why do people often check the meshes? A．To clean them. B．To design them. C．To repair them. D．To spread them. 3．Where can we read this text? A．In a diary. B．In a newspaper. C．In a storybook. D．In a travel magazine. 4．Which of the following can be a suitable title for this text? A．A creative idea to reuse water B．A fresh way to collect water C．A new plan to send drinking water D．A good method to use rain water 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 【知识点】环境保护、说明文、发明与创造 【导语】本文介绍智利科学家利用雾中网幕收集雾气取水，为干旱地区提供清洁水源，同时提及网幕需要日常维护。 【详解】1．第三段介绍：“‘Fog water is free and clean,’ she explained. She called it ‘a useful water source’”，科学家把雾气收集到的水称作有用的水资源。 2．第五段说明：“Strong winds can break them, leaving large holes on them”，大风会损坏网幕影响集水，人们需要时常检查并修补。 3．通读全文可知，全文科普干旱地区新型取水方式，属于科普时事内容，这类文章常出现在报纸中。 4．首段点明主旨：“collecting water from fog”，文章围绕从雾气中收集淡水的新方法展开，最佳标题为“A fresh way to collect water”。 （12） （2025·四川乐山·中考真题）Unlike what you may imagine, taking good care of a plant can be difficult, especially when it comes to how to water a plant. Many people are not sure how often or how much they need to water their plants. Even some farmers may have the same problem. Luckily, a new technology called GrowStream can help them “talk” to their plants. GrowStream is a watering system. Its tubes (管子) have special tiny holes in them. When plants need water, they will release (释放) chemicals (化学物质) through their roots. When the holes detect (察觉) these chemicals, they will open. The plants then get water from these holes. As the plants “drink” enough water, they stop releasing these chemicals. And that “tells” the holes to close back up and stop watering. This system can help save 45 to 50 percent more water than common watering systems. It was created by a company called RDI. The company has brought the GrowStream system to many farms in South Africa. It is also testing the system in the US. It will be used to make the city greener while saving more water. “GrowStream is more than just a technology,” said Jan Gould, CEO of RDI. “We want it to ‘talk’ to people, too. It ‘says’ two things: The earth’s natural resources (资源) are not so much, and we should take better care of the planet through new technology.” 1．Why is it difficult to water a plant? A．Plants need too much water. B．It is hard to discover whether the plant needs water. C．Watering a plant takes too much time. D．Some farmers don’t teach you how to water a plant. 2．How does GrowStream make sure plants “drink” enough water? A．By providing water all the time. B．By releasing chemicals to help the plants “drink” enough water. C．By putting water into the plants’ roots. D．By detecting the amount of chemicals that the plants release. 3．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．Plants. B．Holes. C．Chemicals. D．Tubes. 4．What is the main advantage of this new system? A．Saving time. B．Easy to use. C．Saving water. D．Cheap to buy. 5．What does Jan Gould mean by saying the words? A．The earth is heavily polluted. B．People can talk with GrowStream. C．We have to find more natural resources. D．New technology can help save natural resources. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．D 【知识点】说明文、科学技术、发明与创造 【导语】本文主要介绍了新型智能灌溉系统GrowStream通过与植物“对话”实现按需供水，从而大幅节水并提醒人们珍惜资源。 1．细节理解题。根据“Many people are not sure how often or how much they need to water their plants”可知许多人不确定他们需要给植物浇水的频率或量。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“When the holes detect (察觉) these chemicals, they will open. The plants then get water from these holes. As the plants ‘drink’ enough water, they stop releasing these chemicals.”可知当这些孔检测到这些化学物质时，它们就会打开，然后，植物从这些洞里吸收水分，当植物“喝”足够的水时，它们会停止释放这些化学物质，可见系统通过检测植物释放的化学物质量来控制供水。故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据“As the plants ‘drink’ enough water, they stop releasing these chemicals.”可知当植物“喝”足够的水时，它们会停止释放这些化学物质，“they”指代上文提到的“植物”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“This system can help save 45 to 50 percent more water than common watering systems”可知该系统可以比普通浇水系统节省45%至50%的水。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“We want it to ‘talk’ to people, too. It ‘says’ two things: The earth’s natural resources (资源) are not so much, and we should take better care of the planet through new technology”可知我们也希望它能与人们“对话”，它“说”两件事：地球的自然资源并不多，我们应该通过新技术更好地保护地球，所以新技术能帮助我们更好地保护地球有限的自然资源。故选D。 （13） （2025·四川眉山·中考真题）Have you seen circles, squares and triangles (三角形) everywhere in your daily life? Have you thought about their meanings in films? Much like colors, different shapes can show different features (特征) of characters in the scenes. Circles represent (象征) things that are soft and natural. The round shape reminds us of things that appear in nature, like the sun, flowers, raindrops and so on. We can also connect circles with beautiful eyes, babies’ round faces... All these things make us feel happy and warm. This is why so many cartoon characters’ bodies—heroes, kids, good people—are round in shape, because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness. Squares show things that are unnatural or man-made, or things that are boring or old-fashioned. In Up, Carl, an elderly man, has a square face and wears square glasses, while Russell, an 8-year-old boy with a round face, always wears round medals. These shapes show the characters’ personalities. Carl is stubborn (执拗的) and lonely, while Russell is lovely and full of energy. The angriest shape is the triangle. Kids who draw a monster with sharp teeth draw a row of triangles, don’t they? That’s because the shape represents fear, distrust and doubt in some way. If you look at the bad guys in cartoons, you’ll find they’re all drawn with plenty of points and triangles. And triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down. In films, this feature makes bad people difficult to deal with. Not only in cartoons, but also in other kinds of films, different shapes are used for the same purpose. So, next time you see a film, try to find the hidden shapes and you will know what the characters are like. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By telling a story. B．By asking questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Cartoon characters in round shapes can be friendly and happy. B．Cartoon characters with a square face can be lovely and full of energy. C．Cartoon characters drawn with triangles can be good and brave. D．Cartoon characters in triangles can be easy to get along with. 3．What does the underlined word “stable” mean in Paragraph 4? A．完整的 B．稳固的 C．常见的 D．规则的 4．Which of the following is the structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1...) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A 【知识点】科普知识、电影与戏剧、说明文 【导语】本文通过提问引入话题，探讨了圆形、方形和三角形在电影中象征的不同角色特征，并举例说明形状如何反映人物性格，最后鼓励读者观影时观察隐藏的形状线索。 【详解】1．细节理解题。 根据第1段开头“Have you seen circles, squares and triangles… Have you thought about their meanings…”可知，作者通过提问引入话题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。 根据第2段“because circles represent goodness, happiness and friendliness”可知，圆形角色通常友好快乐。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。 根据第4段“triangles are stable and don’t easily fall down”及后文“makes bad people difficult to deal with”可推断，三角形具有稳固性，不容易倒，所以stable表示“稳固的”。故选B。 4．篇章结构题。 分析全文可知，本文第①段引入形状象征意义，②③④段分别解析圆形、方形、三角形的特征及示例，第⑤总结并建议观影时观察形状。选项A的“总-分-总”结构（①→②③④→⑤）符合。故选A。 （14） （2024·四川自贡·中考真题）April 24th is Space Day of China. Ever since Yang Liwei made it to space in 2003, about 20 Chinese astronauts have been sent into space. In space, astronauts face many problems. There is little gravity (重力) there, which influences their bodies. Also, being away from family and friends and staying in a tiny spaceship for a long time can make them feel sad or stressed out. What’s more, if something goes wrong suddenly, they have to fix it under huge pressure. That’s why astronauts have to be smart, strong, and ready for any challenge before they can go to space. To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their tasks and return to Earth safely, 8 kinds, including over 200 subjects of training, are set. Besides physical training, basic science knowledge and mock (模拟) tasks are included. Before astronauts can go to space, they train like this for at least three and a half years. In China’s manned space project, one of the most difficult parts of the training is the underwater training. This helps astronauts get ready for the weightless environment in space. And they wear diving suits (潜水服) over 100 kilos and stay underwater for six hours every time. 1．What problem do astronauts face according to paragraph 2? A．They have to train under huge pressure. B．They are influenced by little gravity in space. C．They often worry about their family and friends. 2．What do astronauts need to do before going to space? A．Master basic science knowledge.

In fact, they are just trying to help save them. Puffins are the most common birds on the Westman Islands in Iceland. Different from most sea birds, they are able to go under water to 60 meters deep to catch fish. Each spring, they lay eggs in holes on cliffs. 40 days later, they will fly back to the sea, leaving the young there. Baby puffins would spend about six weeks in the holes alone before they are ready to fly to the sea. In the past, young puffins could easily find the sea with the help of the moonlight. But now, bright lights of the city often make them lose their way. Many of them end up flying into the town. However, it’s not an easy thing for young puffins to fly up and find food in the town, so they may lose their lives there. That’s why people on the Westman Islands have decided to help those young puffins. In late summer, when young puffins leave their holes, local people often go out to look for the missing puffins at night. If they find one, they would pick it up and put it in a box. The next day, they would take it to the cliff and throw it off. In this way, young puffins can fly safely to their new home for the next few years. The unusual tradition also helps make sure the puffins will be back to their holes another year. A puffin lays one egg each year at most, so the help from the people on the Westman Islands is of great importance to the survival (生存) of puffins. 1．Why are the boy and the girl throwing the baby puffins off a cliff? A．To have fun. B．To hurt them. C．To take photos. D．To help them. 2．When do puffins lay eggs? A．In spring. B．In summer. C．In autumn. D．In winter. 3．What can we know from the passage?

Can you believe that a small group of bushes in the Amazon may have more types of ants than all of Britain? About 480 kinds of trees can be found in just 10,000 square meters of rainforest. Rainforests are the “lungs of the Earth”. They breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 for all living things. They have their own ways to stay alive—tall trees form a top layer of leaves and branches, protecting themselves, small plants and animals from heavy rain, strong heat and strong winds. Surprisingly, the trees grow in a special way. Although their leaves and branches are close to each other, they never really touch those of other trees. Scientists think this can help stop tree illnesses from spreading and make it difficult for leaf-eating insects to live. To live in the forest, animals have to climb, jump or fly across these spaces. Different from what we see in films, the ground of the rainforest is not full of thick leaves and bushes. It is quite clear. Dead leaves turn into food for trees and other living things there. Rainforests can make 75% of their own rain. Every year, the rain is usually about 2032 mm, and in some places, it can be as much as 10922 mm. Such heavy rain can make small rivers rise about 3 to 6 meters in only two hours. The wet air in rainforests also helps make rain clouds for other countries that need rain. 1．Why are rainforests called the “lungs of the Earth”? A．Because they have many tall trees. B．Because they give homes to many animals. C．Because they take in CO2 and make O2 for the world. 2．How does the top layer of tall trees help the rainforest? A．It stops trees from touching each other. B．It protects living things there from bad weather. C．It provides enough living space for leaf-eating insects. 3．Why don’t the branches and leaves of different trees touch each other? A．To help animals jump across the spaces. B．To make leaf-eating insects live more easily. C．To help stop tree illnesses and harmful insects. 4．What can we learn about rainforests in the last paragraph? A．They need much rain from other places. B．The wet air from them helps other countries. C．Heavy rain in rainforests is bad for small rivers. 5．Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A．Nature. B．Life. C．Science. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【知识点】环境保护、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇关于雨林的科普说明文。文章主要介绍了雨林中丰富的生物多样性、它们作为“地球之肺”的重要作用、树木独特的生长方式、雨林地面的真实状况，以及雨林对全球降雨和气候的调节功能。 【详解】1．根据第二段中“Rainforests are the ‘lungs of the Earth’. They breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 for all living things.”可知，雨林被称为地球之肺是因为它们能吸收二氧化碳并制造氧气。 2．根据第二段中“tall trees form a top layer of leaves and branches, protecting themselves, small plants and animals from heavy rain, strong heat and strong winds.”可知，顶层的树木枝叶可以保护那里的生物免受恶劣天气的伤害。 3．根据第三段中“Scientists think this can help stop tree illnesses from spreading and make it difficult for leaf-eating insects to live.”可知，不同树木的枝叶互不触碰是为了防止疾病传播和抵御害虫。 4．根据最后一段中“The wet air in rainforests also helps make rain clouds for other countries that need rain.”可知，雨林产生的湿润空气还能为那些需要降雨的其他国家形成雨云。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了雨林的自然环境、生态系统以及其对地球气候的影响，属于自然科学的范畴。因此，这篇文章最可能出现在报纸的“自然（Nature）”版块。 （2） （2026·四川泸州·二模）Technology has changed our lives in many ways. One of the most useful developments is artificial intelligence (AI). Many people think AI is only for young people, but it is also helping old people live better and more independently. Many old people have problems with daily life. For example, they often forget to take medicine, find it hard to move around, or feel lonely because they can’t keep in touch with their family easily. Some of them also think modern technology is too difficult to use. But AI machines are helping a lot. Smart speakers can help old people set reminders to take medicine, know the weather, and turn lights on or off just by using their voices. AI apps on phones can also watch over health. They can check heart rates and remind people to drink water or do some exercise. Some hospitals use AI to give medical advice online, so old people don’t have to go to hospitals often. My grandfather is a good example. He didn’t like technology before because he thought it was too difficult. However, everything changed when we introduced him to a smart speaker. Now, he can use it to listen to stories, call friends, and even buy daily things online. AI has made his life more convenient and enjoyable. AI is not only for young people.

They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. ★ . Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming through knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey. 1．What do the two examples in the first paragraph show? A．Brains help our bodies work well. B．Human brains are different. C．Humans can touch their noses easily. D．People have many living habits. 2．Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A．It’s fun to study our ancestors’ life B．It’s easy to learn about senses C．Animals help people in many ways D．Brains are also life-saving heroes 3．Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? A． B． C． D． 4．According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A．You can tie your shoes without looking. B．You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C．You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D．You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. 5．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A．To improve people’s memory. B．To encourage brain studies. C．To show the value of our brains. D．To admire scientists’ efforts. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．B 【知识点】科普知识、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类大脑的多种功能及其对感官的调控作用。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据“Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it.”可知，第一段中的两个例子表明大脑帮助我们的身体正常工作。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据“Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives.”可知，此段主要讲大脑在面对危险时能快速做出反应，保护我们的生命，所以选项D“大脑也是救命英雄”可以放在★处，作为此段的主题句。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives.”可知，祖先常常面临捕食者，所以他们必须保护自己免受蜘蛛和老虎等危险动物的伤害，否则就会丧命。由此可推测出，捕食者指的是危险动物，会捕食其他动物。选项A老虎符合题意。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing.”可知，感官混合是指当你听到音乐时能看到颜色，或者当你看到阳光时能尝到糖果的味道。因此，如果你的感官混合了，你可能会在看到苹果时尝到甜味。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据“Though scientists have done much research on the brain, there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey.”可知，最后一段的写作目的是鼓励读者继续探索大脑的奥秘，进行大脑研究。故选B。 试卷第1页，共3页 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
