专题05 阅读理解（议论文） 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （25-26 九年级上・江苏溧阳・期中） What do you want to be when you grow up? A study shows that more than 80% of children want to choose jobs they often see around them, like doctors and teachers—with teachers topping the list of kids’ dream jobs. But jobs such as cartoonists appear in less than 7% of their answers. This “visibility bias” holds back our imagination—we often overlook jobs hidden outside our daily lives. Choosing a career is important because it needs to bring both income and job satisfaction. If you don’t enjoy your job, your life won’t be as happy as you wish it to be. Try looking into different possibilities! Your dream job might be something you’ve never heard of before. How can you start? First, think about your interests and strengths. These will help shape your future work. If numbers excite you, maybe you can be a scientist. If storytelling comes naturally, writing or filmmaking could be your path. And remember to talk to teachers, parents and friends. They can share ideas about different jobs. Also, think about future trends. Many jobs today, like website builders, weren’t around 50 years ago. New jobs, like AI ethics advisors might appear when you grow up. So, besides learning school subjects, you should develop skills like creativity and critical thinking. You don’t have to wait to plan. Join clubs, read books, or watch videos about different jobs. Remember: big dreams start with small actions. Whether you want to change the world or find happiness, planning today will help you reach your dreams tomorrow! 1. What does the underlined phrase “visibility bias” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. A habit of only choosing jobs that pay a lot of money. B. A way of only noticing jobs that are often seen in daily life. C. A problem of forgetting about jobs one has heard of before. D. A mistake of thinking some jobs are easier than others. 2. Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A. ①/②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④/⑤ C. ①②/③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③/④⑤ 3. What can we learn from the passage? A. Most kids dream of becoming cartoonists because they are creative. B. Job satisfaction is more important than income when choosing a career. C. New jobs like website builders will disappear in the near future. D. We should think about our interests and future trends when planning a career. Passage 2 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江・期中） The list for the sixth-grade basketball team was announced online. I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team. I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it! ” Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed, I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair. Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again. My son is 15 years old now. And after being cut from the team for three years in a row, he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot is something I will never forget. After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him. And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying. 1. What does the underlined part “keep my own feelings in check” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hide my own feelings. B．Hurt my own feelings. C．Follow my own feelings. D．Show my own feelings. 2. What can be inferred about the writer’s son? A．He felt unhappy with his parents. B．He stopped working on his game skills. C．He played in the high school team at the age of 12. D．He was finally accepted by his high school team. 3. How does the writer organize her ideas in this passage? A．Using the space order. B．From general to specific. C．Using the time order. D．From specific to general. Passage 3 （25-26 九年级上・江苏苏州工业园八校联考・期中） My classmates and I are always crazy about thinking of the future. Most of our conversations are about which colleges we want to go to or the jobs we dream about. My diary has more pages about my grades than real diary entries. Recently, I realized that focusing too much on the future was stopping me from enjoying the present. I was doing homework not because I wanted to learn, but just to get good grades for college. I even chose some classes just because they were easy and would help my grades. I used to think high school was just a step from being a kid to becoming an adult. But last month, I went to a school dance, and that changed everything. That night, I danced with 200 other sweaty teens. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was living in the moment. We weren’t thinking about the future at all. All that mattered was that we were young and having fun. The only problem we had was getting blisters from wearing high heels. It felt amazing to just be young! That night, we danced, sang, and really enjoyed ourselves. We forgot about college and future careers for a while. That night changed my view of high school. Since then, I’ve been trying to live more in the moment as a teenager. Whenever I start thinking too much about the future, I remind myself to focus on today. Now I see that high school isn’t just about preparing for the future. It’s also about enjoying the present. I still care about my grades, but I’ve learned that laughing with friends and making happy memories are both important. 1. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1? A. The writer is a top student in her class. B. The writer likes to write about her grades in her diary. C. The writer writes a lot about her school life in the diary. D. The writer cares more about her future than her daily life. 2. Why did the writer usually do her homework in the past? A. Because she found great fun in learning. B. Because she wanted to get good grades for college. C. Because her parents required her to do so. D. Because it was the easiest thing for her to do. 3. What is the correct order of the story? ①I went to a school dance. ②I wore high heels and got blisters. ③I was always thinking about my future colleges and jobs. ④I enjoyed a lot and my view of high school started to change. A. ③①②④ B. ②④①③ C. ②③④① D. ①③②④ 4. What does the writer now believe about high school life? A. The only important thing is to get into a good college. B. Students should not care about their grades at all. C. It is about both preparing for the future and enjoying the present. D. Making happy memories is a waste of time for a student. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 Bianzhong: It's been a long time, Bianqing. We've stood the test of time and played our roles in shaping ancient Chinese music and culture. Bianqing: Yes, indeed. It's amazing how your bronze bells are made to produce such powerful sounds. Bianzhong: Thank you. My bells are hung on a wooden frame and struck with a mallet to make their special sound. Each one is carefully made to hit one different sound. But you, Bianqing, have your own unusual qualities. Bianqing: That's true. Though we share a similar structure, I'm made of jade or stone, which gives me a softer, clearer and more beautiful sound. In a way, we're tied together and shouldn't be separated. When we're played, your strength balances my beauty, creating a sense of harmony. And unlike many other instruments, we're only kept and enjoyed for the nobility. Bianzhong: Exactly. We were symbols of power and status. Only the nobility and top officers were allowed to play, enjoy and learn to use us. The Bianzhong of Marquis Yi of Zeng is a fine example. The skill of this treasure has caused people's imagination since its discovery in 1978. We also played an important role in big state ceremonies or gatherings. Bianqing: True. We helped create a serious atmosphere. Many believed our sounds helped people connect with their ancestors and heaven. Bianzhong: Indeed. Our role in these events also presented the values that were central to the culture of the time, like harmony, order, and respect for tradition. Bianqing: Our tales live on, Bianzhong. Our music is being rediscovered by people today. I'm confident we will continue to encourage future people. Bianzhong: Surely. Our sounds will be heard through the centuries, showing the beauty and depth of ancient Chinese music. 1. What does the underlined word "harmony" probably mean?

Passage 2 （25-26 九年级上・江苏苏州工业园八校联考・期中） Artwork is lovely to look at, but did you know that seeing a real work of art instead of a photo of it makes people more emotional? Neuroscientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, which was painted in 1665. The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone's brain activity to notice how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks in the museum shop. The study found that their emotional response was 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people's personal identity and consciousness. The team found that the group reacted especially strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring. Results showed the volunteers experienced something called a “sustained attentional loop”—but they only had it while looking at that particular painting. The volunteers’ attention was first attracted to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This eye movement repeated in a loop, which meant that people looked at the painting for longer. The director of the museum, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps to develop your brain.” The researchers said it would be interesting to do the same study on other famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 1. An EEG is ________. A．a painting style B．a famous art museum C．a brain-scanning equipment D．a scientist who studies brain 2. What are Paragraph 4 and 5 talking about? A．The steps to the research. B．The reasons for the research. C．The problems with the study. D．The findings of the study. 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The study is based on the difference between real paintings and their posters. B．The emotional response is weaker when seeing real artworks. C．The study is only valuable to research famous paintings. D．The researchers have continued the study on the Mona Lisa. 4. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage us to go to the Mauritshuis museum. B．To teach us how to enjoy real artworks. C．To explain the power of real art. D．To introduce the art value of Girl with a Pearl Earring. Passage 3 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江京口・期中） Yue Opera is a traditional Chinese opera that started in Zhejiang Province in the early 20th century. It joins talking and singing together in the local language. Unlike other operas, Yue Opera often uses female performers, even for male roles. Yue Opera performers are good at expressing emotions by singing. The romantic stories performed by women attract many audiences. Recently, 29-year-old Zhang Yang from Beijing has fallen in love with Yue Opera. When there is traditional Chinese opera on TV, she can’t stop watching. Here follow three famous stories in Yue Opera which Zhang likes best. The Butterfly Lovers (《梁祝》) The Butterfly Lovers tells the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. It is a tale of love, devotion and fight. The Yue opera version of this tale is set in Zhejiang.

Passage 4 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江京口・期中） Labor education has been made a part of compulsory education. Students will have at least one course every week on basic household skills such as cleaning and cooking. Should cooking lessons be taught at school? How can labor education continue after school? The topic catches wide public attention and causes heated public discussions. Li Mei, a student in Beijing We devote most of the time to studying and hardly have any time to develop our interests. A household skill class can both give us more chances to experience life and help us discover different interests. What’s more, we can take care of ourselves and people around us. I hope we could be given choices to take whatever courses we like. Mr. Wang, a teacher in Shandong I think providing students with labor education at school is needed. By learning basic skills, children can live independently. Parents won’t always help their children with every problem they’ll meet in their life. They need to learn new things, solve problems and grow from their experiences. It is necessary for children to know how to master these important life-saving skills as early as possible. Wu Lei, an engineer in Shanghai I completely agree with labor education. I used to be very lazy and didn’t like to do any housework. But since I started taking labor education courses at school, I have changed a lot. I also learned some basic cooking skills from my mother. But most of them were learned after I graduated from university, from books and through online short videos. Household skills like cooking are very useful in our daily life. I hope these cooking classes will really get the students to realize that labor is of great value and importance. 1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. The introduction of labor education courses. B. Different opinions on labor education. C. The importance of household skills. D. The popularity of labor education. 2. Why does Mr. Wang think labor education is needed? A. To help students get good grades. B. To develop students’ independence. C. To share teachers’ working pressure. D. To prepare students for future jobs. 3. What can we learn from Wu Lei’s words? A. Labor education changed him a lot. B. He learned cooking all by himself. C. He disliked labor courses at university. D. Cooking skills are useless in daily life. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江・期中） Footprint means the influence that a person’s or organization’s activities have on the environment. Simply understanding it is very useful to us. (Let’s take the example of Mr. Brown’s footprints.) Water footprint Water is the source of life. We use water directly for drinking, cooking and washing, but we also use water indirectly for producing things such as food, paper and cloth. A water footprint tells us how much water is being used. It can help us come up with ways to save water. You can learn about how your daily habits influence your water use through the food you eat, the things you buy and even the energy you use.

Peer pressure is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it, or are trying to make you do it. Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do something good for you, for others, or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn't do. For example, it might be something that goes against rules, something dangerous, or something bad for your health. It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right. If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers and not feel as if they stand out because they are different in some way. Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing. Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something: - Could I get into trouble for doing this? - Might doing this hurt myself or another person, or hurt someone’s feelings? - Does this go against what I believe is right? - Am I doing this just because everyone else is? If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, take a step back. It’s not worth it. Remember, true friends won’t try to make you do something that’s bad for you. 1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Examples of bad peer pressure. B. Differences between good and bad peer pressure. C. Reasons for people’s peer pressure. D. Influence of peer pressure on people’s values. 2. Why do people usually give in to peer pressure? A. To make more friends. B. To be accepted by others. C. To show they are different. D. To prove they are brave. 3. What does the writer suggest doing when facing peer pressure? A. Following others quickly. B. Accepting others’ ideas. C. Thinking carefully before acting. D. Refusing everything immediately. 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. Peer pressure is always bad for teenagers. B. Good peer pressure pushes you to be better. C. All peers make you do dangerous things. D. You can’t say no to your friends’ pressure. Passage 2 （25-26 九年级上・江苏宿迁崇文・苏外校联考・期中） Many parents worry about their children’s safety online. They wonder if their kids are talking to strangers, sharing too much information, or seeing bad content online. To keep kids safe, some parents choose to monitor everything their children do online. They check their chat history, look through their apps, and track their location. However, many children don’t like this. They feel their parents don’t trust them, and they lose their privacy. Full monitoring can make kids feel stressed and can even harm the relationship between parents and children. So, is there a better way? Experts say that protecting kids doesn’t mean controlling everything. Parents should do it in a smart way. Then how? First, parents should let their children know that they’ll be watching their online activities. Second, have an open conversation and clearly explain how the monitoring will work. Third, be careful. There is a line between protecting children and over-controlling them. Parents should discuss the details with their children and listen to their opinions. In short, instead of just blocking everything, parents should teach children how to stay safe online. This way, children can learn to use the Internet wisely. 1. Why do parents want to monitor their children’s online activities? A. To protect them from online risks. B. To tell them how to speak up online. C. To stop them from wasting time online. D. To teach them to use social media wisely. 2. What does the writer think of parents’ full prevention? A. It helps their children learn a lot. B. It makes parents feel safer. C. It keeps their children away from all risks. D. It can hurt the parent-child relationship. 3. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. An introduction of a better way. B. An example of smart monitoring. C. The importance of protecting kids. D. The disadvantages of over-control. 4. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion? A. Parents should track their kids’ location secretly. B. Kids should not share any information online. C. Teaching kids to use the Internet wisely is better. D. Full monitoring is the best way to keep kids safe. Passage 3 （25-26 九年级上・江苏扬州树人・期中） ① Short videos have quickly become a daily habit for most teenagers. With just a tap, you can laugh at funny clips, learn quick facts, or follow trending challenges. But behind their entertainment value lies hidden dangers that can affect your life in unexpected ways. ② One big problem is the loss of concentration. Short videos are designed to catch your attention in seconds, with rapid cuts and eye-catching visuals. Your brain gets used to this constant stimulation, making it harder to focus on tasks that require patience, like reading a textbook, solving math problems, or listening to teachers. Studies show that teens who spend over 2 hours daily on short videos are 3 times more likely to have problems with concentration in class. Another problem is the weakening of critical thinking. Most short videos offer simple, one-sided messages instead of encouraging deep analysis. For example, a 10-second clip about "how to be successful" might make life skills seem simpler than they should be. When you're used to getting quick answers, you'll find it difficult to think carefully about information or have your own opinions—skills that are important for exams and real-life decisions. ③ Wasting time is also serious. The average teen spends 1.5 hours daily on short videos, which adds up to over 500 hours a year. That's the time you could have spent practicing a sport, learning an instrument, or connecting with family. Perhaps the most harmful influence is on self-esteem. Many short videos show unrealistic lifestyles—perfect bodies, expensive gadgets, and non-stop fun. Comparing your ordinary life to these "perfect" ones can fill you with a sense of loss. Psychologists say that heavy users often report feelings of anxiety or envy, especially when they can't "keep up" with what they see online. ④ They can connect you with new ideas or brighten a tough day. The key is balance. Set a daily limit, choose what teaches you something, and remember: what you see on screen is hardly real life. Prioritize activities that help you grow, and you'll avoid the hidden dangers. 1. Why do students have concentration problems in class after watching short videos? A. They are tired from staying up late. B. Their brains get used to quick stimulation. C. They are not interested in school subjects. D. Short videos teach them to avoid difficult tasks. 2. Short videos have a harmful influence on teenagers in the following ways EXCEPT ______. A. improving social skills B. wasting valuable time C. weakening critical thinking D. lowering self-esteem 3. Where can the sentence “Short videos aren’t all bad.” be put in the passage? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. All short videos are designed to trick teenagers. B. Spending 1 hour daily on short videos is safe. C. Balancing short video use is important for growth. D. Teenagers who watch short videos perform poorly in exams. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江京口・期中） The world is full of screens. They are on TVs, computers and smartphones. Screens are at school, at home, and just about everywhere. The time people spend every day looking at screens is known as “screen time”. Most families have rules about how much time children can spend with screens. Why do they have rules? Are there good reasons to limit screen time? In many ways, screens are helpful for communication and connecting with other people. Social media and video calls allow people to be in touch with one another. Screen time can also help people build new relationships. By sharing and commenting on videos, photos, games or music, people can meet others who have similar interests. However, some adults are worried that young people spend too much time on screens and they don’t have enough time to meet people in real life. As a result, they may not properly understand feelings or develop strong relationships. Many kinds of screen time may be good for students. Students may develop their skills in creating music or videos. They may even learn skills such as coding computer programs. When students do research online, they may meet people who are different from them or ideas they have never thought about before. However, some researchers think that screens change how the brain processes information. Some have connected screen time to lower test scores. In the future, scientists will continue studying the influence of screen time. Parents may continue to make rules to limit it. Plenty of good things can come from screen time, but it’s a good idea for people to work out how much time in a day they spend looking at a screen. They should know how screen time influences their health, relationships, and learning. 1. What method does the writer use to start the text? A. Telling a story. B. Explaining the facts. C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing differences. 2. Why are some adults worried about young people? A. Because young people may have too many online friends. B. Because young people may learn too many skills from screens. C. Because young people may spend less time meeting people in real life. D. Because young people may properly understand feelings and develop strong relationships. 3. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. 总起→好处→问题→总结 B. 总起→问题→好处→总结 C. 分述→好处→问题→总结 D. 分述→问题→好处→总结 Passage 2 （25-26 九年级上・江苏期中检测・期中） It's challenging for many of us to understand Chinese ancient classics. Here is good news for us. Recently, a college research team from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province has created “Xunzi” to help with the understanding of Chinese ancient books and research on them. Xunzi is a large language model (LLM) which includes a great number of Chinese ancient books and documents, like the collections of the “Complete Library in Four Sections”. It uses deep learning techniques and big data sets, and collects more than two billion Chinese characters and words. This LLM was named after Xunzi because he was not only a famous philosopher during the Warring States Period, but also a pioneer in presenting and explaining theories of linguistics in ancient China. With the model, researchers can quickly summarize the ancient texts in order to know about the themes of the ancient books.

Passage 3 （25-26 九年级上・江苏扬州树人・期中） Recently, pre-prepared dishes have become a hot topic in China. It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain, he found most of its dishes were pre-prepared but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments. What exactly are pre-prepared dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packaged foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients without adding preservatives. They go through factory processing, like mixing, marinating, frying or steaming, and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-prepared. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this category. That's why Xibei said its dishes weren't pre-prepared. Pre-prepared dishes have both advantages and disadvantages. Many large chain restaurants use them for two main reasons. First, pre-prepared products save time, cut costs and make service faster. Second, pre-prepared ingredients are safer in dirty places, making people think pre-prepared means low quality. Worse, some restaurants call reheated pre-prepared dishes "freshly made" and charge full price. Now, more and more people call on the government to make laws. They hope there will be clearer standards for pre-prepared dishes, so that everyone can make informed choices. 1. What made pre-prepared dishes draw wide attention in China? A. Their low cost. B. Xibei's advertisement. C. Their good taste. D. Luo Yonghao's words. 2. According to the passage, which of the following are pre-prepared dishes? ① Roast duck from central kitchens. ② Factory-processed steamed mutton. ③ Simply cut vegetables. ④ Pre-packaged fried meat. A. ①④ B. ①③ C. ②④ D. ②③ 3. What do people ask the government to do? A. Stop pre-prepared dishes completely. B. Help small restaurants store them. C. Make safety standards for them. D. Punish Xibei for its dishes. 4. What is the text mainly about? A. The advantages of pre-prepared dishes. B. The discussion on pre-prepared dishes. C. Luo Yonghao's personal life. D. Problems of pre-prepared dishes. Passage 4 （25-26 九年级上・江苏南京鼓楼・期中） What is your favorite color? Do you like warm colors like red, orange and yellow? Or do you prefer cool colors like blue and purple? People talk about colors a lot, but do you know that colors can influence how people feel and act? Colors are often connected with feelings. Red is an exciting color. It is connected with power and strong feelings. It can make people’s hearts beat faster. Many restaurants use red because it can make people hungry and encourage them to eat more. Blue is a calm color. It can make people feel peaceful and relaxed. Many offices use blue because it can help people pay more attention to their work. Hospitals also use it because it can make patients feel less nervous. But what about purple? The color purple is often connected with power. It is not a color that we see a lot in nature, and in ancient times, purple dye was very hard to make. This made it rare and expensive, so only the most powerful people could afford it. In ancient Rome, only leaders could wear clothes in purple, and in England, Queen Elizabeth I allowed only close relatives to wear purple. So, when a villain is shown wearing purple, it suggests they are powerful or think of themselves as powerful. It also shows that they want respect from others. Now, let’s look at color theory. When the three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) are mixed together, they create white light. If you mix any two primary colors, you get one of the three secondary colors: orange, purple, or green. Most superheroes wear at least one primary color, and some have all three. If heroes wear bright primary colors, comic artists often use secondary colors like green and purple for villains. This way, even if you don't know the story or the characters, you can quickly tell the heroes and villains apart just from their colors. 1. What does the underlined word “villains" mean? A. Heroes. B. Bad people. C. Common people. D. Smart people. 2. Why do many restaurants use red according to the passage? A. It can make people feel relaxed. B. It can make people eat more. C. It can bring people good luck. D. It can show power of the restaurant. 3. What can we learn about purple from Paragraph 4? A. It is a very common color in nature. B. It was cheap and easy to make in ancient times. C. It used to be a symbol of power and status. D. It is loved by all leaders around the world. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How color theory works in comics. B. How to mix primary colors. C. What secondary colors are. D. Why superheroes are popular. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （25-26 九年级上・江苏苏州・期中） Editor's note: China Daily is publishing news about China's work to reach its carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals. In 2024, China made big progress on its long-term climate goals. It led the world's energy change at a speed never seen before. Though it's challenging, Chinese experts are still working on achieving carbon peak before 2030 and becoming carbon neutrality by 2060. More renewable energy (like water power and wind power) starts working. In the first 9 months of 2024, China added 210 million kilowatts of new renewable energy. That's 21% of all new power capacity — the highest in China. That's a lot! A report from Wood Mackenzie, a UK energy company, says China continues to lead the world energy changing. Never has the world seen the speed of growth of an energy system that China is achieving. By 2025, China's solar and wind power will be more than Europe and North America together. The report also says China's transport is changing. By 2034, electric cars will make up 66% of car sales.

A study shows that more than 80% of children want to choose jobs they often see around them, like doctors and teachers—with teachers topping the list of kids’ dream jobs. But jobs such as cartoonists appear in less than 7% of their answers. This “visibility bias” holds back our imagination—we often overlook jobs hidden outside our daily lives. Choosing a career is important because it needs to bring both income and job satisfaction. If you don’t enjoy your job, your life won’t be as happy as you wish it to be. Try looking into different possibilities! Your dream job might be something you’ve never heard of before. How can you start? First, think about your interests and strengths. These will help shape your future work. If numbers excite you, maybe you can be a scientist. If storytelling comes naturally, writing or filmmaking could be your path. And remember to talk to teachers, parents and friends. They can share ideas about different jobs. Also, think about future trends. Many jobs today, like website builders, weren’t around 50 years ago. New jobs, like AI ethics advisors might appear when you grow up. So, besides learning school subjects, you should develop skills like creativity and critical thinking. You don’t have to wait to plan. Join clubs, read books, or watch videos about different jobs. Remember: big dreams start with small actions. Whether you want to change the world or find happiness, planning today will help you reach your dreams tomorrow! 1. What does the underlined phrase “visibility bias” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. A habit of only choosing jobs that pay a lot of money. B. A way of only noticing jobs that are often seen in daily life. C. A problem of forgetting about jobs one has heard of before. D. A mistake of thinking some jobs are easier than others. 2. Which of the following best describes the structure of the passage? A. ①/②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④/⑤ C. ①②/③/④/⑤ D. ①/②/③/④⑤ 3. What can we learn from the passage? A. Most kids dream of becoming cartoonists because they are creative. B. Job satisfaction is more important than income when choosing a career. C. New jobs like website builders will disappear in the near future. D. We should think about our interests and future trends when planning a career. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文讨论了青少年职业规划中存在的 “能见度偏差” 现象，阐述了职业选择的重要性，并从兴趣优势、未来趋势等方面给出职业规划的具体建议，鼓励人们从小行动出发规划职业。 1．词义猜测题。根据第一段 “want to choose jobs they often see around them” 以及后文 “overlook jobs hidden outside our daily lives” 可知，“visibility bias” 指的是人们倾向于只关注日常生活中常见的职业，而忽略不常见的职业。故选 B。 2．文章结构题。第一段引出职业选择中的 “能见度偏差” 现象；第二段阐述职业选择的重要性；第三、四段分别从 “兴趣与优势”“未来趋势” 两个并列角度给出规划建议；第五段总结全文并发出号召。因此文章结构为①/②/③④/⑤。故选 A。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段 “First, think about your interests and strengths” 和第四段 “Also, think about future trends” 可知，规划职业时需要综合考虑自身兴趣和行业未来趋势。A 项与原文 “less than 7%” 表述相悖；B 项原文指出收入和满意度都很重要，并未比较二者优先级；C 项原文未提及网站构建师会消失。故选 D。 Passage 2 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江・期中） The list for the sixth-grade basketball team was announced online. I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team. I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it! ” Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed, I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair. Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again. My son is 15 years old now. And after being cut from the team for three years in a row, he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot is something I will never forget. After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him. And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying. 1. What does the underlined part “keep my own feelings in check” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Hide my own feelings. B．Hurt my own feelings.

Most of our conversations are about which colleges we want to go to or the jobs we dream about. My diary has more pages about my grades than real diary entries. Recently, I realized that focusing too much on the future was stopping me from enjoying the present. I was doing homework not because I wanted to learn, but just to get good grades for college. I even chose some classes just because they were easy and would help my grades. I used to think high school was just a step from being a kid to becoming an adult. But last month, I went to a school dance, and that changed everything. That night, I danced with 200 other sweaty teens. For the first time in a long time, I felt like I was living in the moment. We weren’t thinking about the future at all. All that mattered was that we were young and having fun. The only problem we had was getting blisters from wearing high heels. It felt amazing to just be young! That night, we danced, sang, and really enjoyed ourselves. We forgot about college and future careers for a while. That night changed my view of high school. Since then, I’ve been trying to live more in the moment as a teenager. Whenever I start thinking too much about the future, I remind myself to focus on today. Now I see that high school isn’t just about preparing for the future. It’s also about enjoying the present. I still care about my grades, but I’ve learned that laughing with friends and making happy memories are both important. 1. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 1? A. The writer is a top student in her class. B. The writer likes to write about her grades in her diary. C. The writer writes a lot about her school life in the diary. D. The writer cares more about her future than her daily life. 2. Why did the writer usually do her homework in the past? A. Because she found great fun in learning. B. Because she wanted to get good grades for college. C. Because her parents required her to do so. D. Because it was the easiest thing for her to do. 3. What is the correct order of the story? ①I went to a school dance. ②I wore high heels and got blisters. ③I was always thinking about my future colleges and jobs. ④I enjoyed a lot and my view of high school started to change. A. ③①②④ B. ②④①③ C. ②③④① D. ①③②④ 4. What does the writer now believe about high school life? A. The only important thing is to get into a good college. B. Students should not care about their grades at all. C. It is about both preparing for the future and enjoying the present. D. Making happy memories is a waste of time for a student. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文通过作者自身的经历，探讨了高中生活的意义：高中不只是为未来做准备，也需要享受当下，创造美好回忆。 1．句意理解题。根据第一段 “My classmates and I are always crazy about thinking of the future. Most of our conversations are about which colleges we want to go to or the jobs we dream about.” 可知，作者过度关注未来和成绩，忽略了当下生活，日记里成绩相关内容远多于日常记录。故选 D。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段 “I was doing homework not because I wanted to learn, but just to get good grades for college.” 可知，作者过去写作业只是为了取得好成绩考上大学。故选 B。 3．排序题。根据文章内容：作者一开始总想着未来的大学和工作（③）；之后参加了学校舞会（①）；舞会上穿高跟鞋磨出了水泡（②）；那晚玩得很开心，对高中的看法开始改变（④）。故选 A。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段 “Now I see that high school isn’t just about preparing for the future. It’s also about enjoying the present.” 可知，作者认为高中生活既要为未来准备，也要享受当下。故选 C。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 Bianzhong: It's been a long time, Bianqing. We've stood the test of time and played our roles in shaping ancient Chinese music and culture. Bianqing: Yes, indeed. It's amazing how your bronze bells are made to produce such powerful sounds. Bianzhong: Thank you. My bells are hung on a wooden frame and struck with a mallet to make their special sound. Each one is carefully made to hit one different sound. But you, Bianqing, have your own unusual qualities. Bianqing: That's true. Though we share a similar structure, I'm made of jade or stone, which gives me a softer, clearer and more beautiful sound. In a way, we're tied together and shouldn't be separated. When we're played, your strength balances my beauty, creating a sense of harmony. And unlike many other instruments, we're only kept and enjoyed for the nobility. Bianzhong: Exactly. We were symbols of power and status.

We helped create a serious atmosphere. Many believed our sounds helped people connect with their ancestors and heaven. Bianzhong: Indeed. Our role in these events also presented the values that were central to the culture of the time, like harmony, order, and respect for tradition. Bianqing: Our tales live on, Bianzhong.

Neuroscientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, which was painted in 1665. The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone's brain activity to notice how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks in the museum shop. The study found that their emotional response was 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people's personal identity and consciousness. The team found that the group reacted especially strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring. Results showed the volunteers experienced something called a “sustained attentional loop”—but they only had it while looking at that particular painting. The volunteers’ attention was first attracted to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This eye movement repeated in a loop, which meant that people looked at the painting for longer. The director of the museum, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps to develop your brain.” The researchers said it would be interesting to do the same study on other famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 1. An EEG is ________. A．a painting style B．a famous art museum C．a brain-scanning equipment D．a scientist who studies brain 2. What are Paragraph 4 and 5 talking about? A．The steps to the research. B．The reasons for the research. C．The problems with the study. D．The findings of the study. 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The study is based on the difference between real paintings and their posters. B．The emotional response is weaker when seeing real artworks. C．The study is only valuable to research famous paintings. D．The researchers have continued the study on the Mona Lisa. 4. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage us to go to the Mauritshuis museum. B．To teach us how to enjoy real artworks. C．To explain the power of real art. D．To introduce the art value of Girl with a Pearl Earring. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文通过一项神经科学研究，说明了观赏真实艺术品比观赏图片能引发更强烈的情感反应，阐释了真实艺术的独特力量与价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段 “a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone's brain activity” 可知，EEG 是一种可以记录大脑活动的脑部扫描设备。故选 C。 2．段落主旨题。第四、五段主要介绍了研究的结果：真实画作引发的情绪反应更强，观众对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》反应尤其强烈，出现持续注意循环。故选 D。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段 “First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks in the museum shop.” 可知，研究对比了真实画作和其海报之间的差异。故选 A。 4．写作目的题。全文通过介绍研究过程与结果，旨在说明真实艺术品具有独特的感染力，能引发更强的情感反应，阐释真实艺术的力量。故选 C。 Passage 3 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江京口・期中） Yue Opera is a traditional Chinese opera that started in Zhejiang Province in the early 20th century.

Students will have at least one course every week on basic household skills such as cleaning and cooking. Should cooking lessons be taught at school? How can labor education continue after school? The topic catches wide public attention and causes heated public discussions. Li Mei, a student in Beijing We devote most of the time to studying and hardly have any time to develop our interests. A household skill class can both give us more chances to experience life and help us discover different interests. What’s more, we can take care of ourselves and people around us. I hope we could be given choices to take whatever courses we like. Mr. Wang, a teacher in Shandong I think providing students with labor education at school is needed. By learning basic skills, children can live independently. Parents won’t always help their children with every problem they’ll meet in their life. They need to learn new things, solve problems and grow from their experiences. It is necessary for children to know how to master these important life-saving skills as early as possible. Wu Lei, an engineer in Shanghai I completely agree with labor education. I used to be very lazy and didn’t like to do any housework. But since I started taking labor education courses at school, I have changed a lot. I also learned some basic cooking skills from my mother. But most of them were learned after I graduated from university, from books and through online short videos. Household skills like cooking are very useful in our daily life.

Peer pressure is when one or more friends or people your own age make you feel stressed to do something. You feel as if you have to do that thing because your peers are doing it, or are trying to make you do it. Good peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something good. You might do something good for you, for others, or for the environment. Bad peer pressure is when you feel pressured to do something you shouldn't do. For example, it might be something that goes against rules, something dangerous, or something bad for your health. It might also be something that goes against your values, or what you believe is good or right. If a friend tries to pressure you to do something, you might feel you should do it to please your friend. You might even feel that the person will not be your friend if you do not do it. People often want to be accepted by their peers and not feel as if they stand out because they are different in some way. Sometimes people are afraid others will make fun of them if they do not do what everyone else is doing. Here are some questions to ask yourself when you feel peer pressure to do something: - Could I get into trouble for doing this? - Might doing this hurt myself or another person, or hurt someone’s feelings? - Does this go against what I believe is right? - Am I doing this just because everyone else is? If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions, take a step back. It’s not worth it. Remember, true friends won’t try to make you do something that’s bad for you. 1. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Examples of bad peer pressure. B. Differences between good and bad peer pressure. C. Reasons for people’s peer pressure. D. Influence of peer pressure on people’s values. 2. Why do people usually give in to peer pressure? A. To make more friends. B. To be accepted by others. C. To show they are different. D. To prove they are brave. 3. What does the writer suggest doing when facing peer pressure? A. Following others quickly. B. Accepting others’ ideas. C. Thinking carefully before acting. D. Refusing everything immediately. 4. What can we learn from the passage? A. Peer pressure is always bad for teenagers. B. Good peer pressure pushes you to be better. C. All peers make you do dangerous things. D.

They wonder if their kids are talking to strangers, sharing too much information, or seeing bad content online. To keep kids safe, some parents choose to monitor everything their children do online. They check their chat history, look through their apps, and track their location. However, many children don’t like this. They feel their parents don’t trust them, and they lose their privacy. Full monitoring can make kids feel stressed and can even harm the relationship between parents and children. So, is there a better way? Experts say that protecting kids doesn’t mean controlling everything. Parents should do it in a smart way. Then how? First, parents should let their children know that they’ll be watching their online activities. Second, have an open conversation and clearly explain how the monitoring will work. Third, be careful. There is a line between protecting children and over-controlling them. Parents should discuss the details with their children and listen to their opinions. In short, instead of just blocking everything, parents should teach children how to stay safe online. This way, children can learn to use the Internet wisely. 1. Why do parents want to monitor their children’s online activities? A. To protect them from online risks. B. To tell them how to speak up online. C. To stop them from wasting time online. D.

With just a tap, you can laugh at funny clips, learn quick facts, or follow trending challenges. But behind their entertainment value lies hidden dangers that can affect your life in unexpected ways. ② One big problem is the loss of concentration. Short videos are designed to catch your attention in seconds, with rapid cuts and eye-catching visuals. Your brain gets used to this constant stimulation, making it harder to focus on tasks that require patience, like reading a textbook, solving math problems, or listening to teachers. Studies show that teens who spend over 2 hours daily on short videos are 3 times more likely to have problems with concentration in class. Another problem is the weakening of critical thinking. Most short videos offer simple, one-sided messages instead of encouraging deep analysis. For example, a 10-second clip about "how to be successful" might make life skills seem simpler than they should be. When you're used to getting quick answers, you'll find it difficult to think carefully about information or have your own opinions—skills that are important for exams and real-life decisions. ③ Wasting time is also serious. The average teen spends 1.5 hours daily on short videos, which adds up to over 500 hours a year. That's the time you could have spent practicing a sport, learning an instrument, or connecting with family. Perhaps the most harmful influence is on self-esteem. Many short videos show unrealistic lifestyles—perfect bodies, expensive gadgets, and non-stop fun. Comparing your ordinary life to these "perfect" ones can fill you with a sense of loss. Psychologists say that heavy users often report feelings of anxiety or envy, especially when they can't "keep up" with what they see online. ④ They can connect you with new ideas or brighten a tough day. The key is balance. Set a daily limit, choose what teaches you something, and remember: what you see on screen is hardly real life. Prioritize activities that help you grow, and you'll avoid the hidden dangers. 1. Why do students have concentration problems in class after watching short videos? A. They are tired from staying up late. B. Their brains get used to quick stimulation. C. They are not interested in school subjects. D. Short videos teach them to avoid difficult tasks. 2. Short videos have a harmful influence on teenagers in the following ways EXCEPT ______. A. improving social skills B. wasting valuable time C. weakening critical thinking D. lowering self-esteem 3. Where can the sentence “Short videos aren’t all bad.” be put in the passage? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 4. What can we infer from the passage? A. All short videos are designed to trick teenagers. B. Spending 1 hour daily on short videos is safe. C. Balancing short video use is important for growth. D. Teenagers who watch short videos perform poorly in exams. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文探讨了短视频对青少年的多重影响，既指出了其在注意力、批判性思维、时间、自尊方面的负面影响，也提到了其积极价值，强调合理平衡使用短视频的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段 “Your brain gets used to this constant stimulation, making it harder to focus on tasks that require patience” 可知，大脑习惯了短视频的快速刺激后，难以专注于需要耐心的任务，导致课堂注意力下降。故选 B。 2．细节判断题。文中提到了短视频的危害：注意力下降、批判性思维弱化、浪费时间、伤害自尊，并未提及会提升社交技能。故选 A。 3．句子还原题。空格后 “They can connect you with new ideas or brighten a tough day.” 开始阐述短视频的好处，因此 “短视频并非全是坏处” 放在最后一段开头，起到转折过渡的作用。故选 D。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段 “The key is balance... Prioritize activities that help you grow, and you'll avoid the hidden dangers.” 可推断，平衡短视频的使用对青少年成长很重要。故选 C。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 （25-26 九年级上・江苏镇江京口・期中） The world is full of screens. They are on TVs, computers and smartphones. Screens are at school, at home, and just about everywhere. The time people spend every day looking at screens is known as “screen time”. Most families have rules about how much time children can spend with screens. Why do they have rules? Are there good reasons to limit screen time? In many ways, screens are helpful for communication and connecting with other people. Social media and video calls allow people to be in touch with one another. Screen time can also help people build new relationships. By sharing and commenting on videos, photos, games or music, people can meet others who have similar interests. However, some adults are worried that young people spend too much time on screens and they don’t have enough time to meet people in real life. As a result, they may not properly understand feelings or develop strong relationships. Many kinds of screen time may be good for students. Students may develop their skills in creating music or videos. They may even learn skills such as coding computer programs. When students do research online, they may meet people who are different from them or ideas they have never thought about before. However, some researchers think that screens change how the brain processes information. Some have connected screen time to lower test scores. In the future, scientists will continue studying the influence of screen time. Parents may continue to make rules to limit it. Plenty of good things can come from screen time, but it’s a good idea for people to work out how much time in a day they spend looking at a screen. They should know how screen time influences their health, relationships, and learning. 1. What method does the writer use to start the text? A. Telling a story. B. Explaining the facts. C. Listing numbers. D. Comparing differences. 2. Why are some adults worried about young people? A. Because young people may have too many online friends. B. Because young people may learn too many skills from screens. C. Because young people may spend less time meeting people in real life. D. Because young people may properly understand feelings and develop strong relationships. 3. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. 总起→好处→问题→总结 B. 总起→问题→好处→总结 C. 分述→好处→问题→总结 D. 分述→问题→好处→总结 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文围绕 “屏幕时间” 展开讨论，客观分析了屏幕时间在社交、学习方面的益处，以及过度使用带来的现实交往、学业等方面的问题，指出需理性看待并合理管控屏幕时间。 1．写作手法题。文章第一段客观陈述了屏幕无处不在、“屏幕时间” 的定义等事实，通过陈述事实引入话题。故选 B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段 “some adults are worried that young people spend too much time on screens and they don’t have enough time to meet people in real life” 可知，成年人担心年轻人花太多时间在屏幕上，现实生活中与人交往的时间不足。故选 C。 3．文章结构题。第一段总起，介绍屏幕时间的背景；第二、三段介绍屏幕时间的好处；第四、五段介绍过度屏幕时间的问题；最后一段总结全文，展望未来。结构为：总起→好处→问题→总结。故选 A。 Passage 2 （25-26 九年级上・江苏期中检测・期中） It's challenging for many of us to understand Chinese ancient classics. Here is good news for us. Recently, a college research team from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province has created “Xunzi” to help with the understanding of Chinese ancient books and research on them. Xunzi is a large language model (LLM) which includes a great number of Chinese ancient books and documents, like the collections of the “Complete Library in Four Sections”. It uses deep learning techniques and big data sets, and collects more than two billion Chinese characters and words. This LLM was named after Xunzi because he was not only a famous philosopher during the Warring States Period, but also a pioneer in presenting and explaining theories of linguistics in ancient China. With the model, researchers can quickly summarize the ancient texts in order to know about the themes of the ancient books. It can also find key information from the ancient texts, such as characters, events and places. Last but not least, the model can help researchers translate the ancient texts into modern Chinese to fully understand them. “The research on traditional Chinese classics is hard work even for professors, let alone for common learners. We just hope Xunzi can help save some time and energy for people,” said Wang Dongbo, who led the research team. 1. Why was the LLM named “Xunzi”? A. Xunzi was good at writing ancient books. B. Xunzi was a famous linguistics pioneer in ancient China. C. Xunzi could translate ancient books well. D. Xunzi created the “Complete Library in Four Sections”. 2.

A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 3. What does Wang Dongbo think of the research on ancient classics? A. It is interesting and relaxing. B. It is much easier for common learners. C. It is difficult and takes much effort. D. It is useless for most people in modern life. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. To introduce a tool to help study ancient classics. B. To explain why ancient classics are hard to understand. C. To describe the development of large language models. D. To encourage people to study Chinese ancient classics. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了南京研发的大语言模型 “荀子”，阐述了其设计初衷、功能与价值，说明科技为传统文化研究与传播提供了新助力。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段 “This LLM was named after Xunzi because he was not only a famous philosopher... but also a pioneer in presenting and explaining theories of linguistics in ancient China.” 可知，以 “荀子” 命名是因为他是中国古代语言学理论的先驱。故选 B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段 “quickly summarize the ancient texts”“find key information from the ancient texts”“help researchers translate the ancient texts into modern Chinese” 可知，①②④是模型的功能，文中并未提及将古籍改编成现代故事。故选 B。 3．观点态度题。根据最后一段 “The research on traditional Chinese classics is hard work even for professors, let alone for common learners.” 可知，王东波认为古籍研究工作难度大、耗费精力。故选 C。 4．主旨大意题。全文围绕大语言模型 “荀子” 展开，介绍了它的研发背景、功能与应用价值，核心是介绍一款助力古籍研究的工具。故选 A。 Passage 3 （25-26 九年级上・江苏扬州树人・期中） Recently, pre-prepared dishes have become a hot topic in China. It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain, he found most of its dishes were pre-prepared but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments. What exactly are pre-prepared dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packaged foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients without adding preservatives. They go through factory processing, like mixing, marinating, frying or steaming, and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-prepared. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this category. That's why Xibei said its dishes weren't pre-prepared. Pre-prepared dishes have both advantages and disadvantages. Many large chain restaurants use them for two main reasons. First, pre-prepared products save time, cut costs and make service faster. Second, pre-prepared ingredients are safer in dirty places, making people think pre-prepared means low quality. Worse, some restaurants call reheated pre-prepared dishes "freshly made" and charge full price. Now, more and more people call on the government to make laws. They hope there will be clearer standards for pre-prepared dishes, so that everyone can make informed choices. 1. What made pre-prepared dishes draw wide attention in China? A. Their low cost. B. Xibei's advertisement. C. Their good taste. D. Luo Yonghao's words. 2.

Do you like warm colors like red, orange and yellow? Or do you prefer cool colors like blue and purple? People talk about colors a lot, but do you know that colors can influence how people feel and act? Colors are often connected with feelings. Red is an exciting color. It is connected with power and strong feelings. It can make people’s hearts beat faster. Many restaurants use red because it can make people hungry and encourage them to eat more. Blue is a calm color. It can make people feel peaceful and relaxed. Many offices use blue because it can help people pay more attention to their work. Hospitals also use it because it can make patients feel less nervous. But what about purple? The color purple is often connected with power. It is not a color that we see a lot in nature, and in ancient times, purple dye was very hard to make. This made it rare and expensive, so only the most powerful people could afford it. In ancient Rome, only leaders could wear clothes in purple, and in England, Queen Elizabeth I allowed only close relatives to wear purple. So, when a villain is shown wearing purple, it suggests they are powerful or think of themselves as powerful. It also shows that they want respect from others. Now, let’s look at color theory. When the three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) are mixed together, they create white light. If you mix any two primary colors, you get one of the three secondary colors: orange, purple, or green. Most superheroes wear at least one primary color, and some have all three. If heroes wear bright primary colors, comic artists often use secondary colors like green and purple for villains. This way, even if you don't know the story or the characters, you can quickly tell the heroes and villains apart just from their colors. 1. What does the underlined word “villains" mean? A. Heroes. B. Bad people. C. Common people. D. Smart people. 2. Why do many restaurants use red according to the passage? A. It can make people feel relaxed. B. It can make people eat more. C. It can bring people good luck. D. It can show power of the restaurant. 3. What can we learn about purple from Paragraph 4? A. It is a very common color in nature. B. It was cheap and easy to make in ancient times. C. It used to be a symbol of power and status. D. It is loved by all leaders around the world. 4. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. How color theory works in comics. B. How to mix primary colors. C. What secondary colors are. D. Why superheroes are popular. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了不同颜色的心理影响、文化象征，以及色彩理论在漫画创作中的应用，阐释了颜色对人类认知与行为的影响。 1．词义猜测题。根据后文 “if heroes wear bright primary colors, comic artists often use secondary colors like green and purple for villains” 可知，villains 与 heroes（英雄）相对，意为 “反派、坏人”。故选 B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段 “Many restaurants use red because it can make people hungry and encourage them to eat more.” 可知，餐厅使用红色是因为它能增进食欲，让顾客吃得更多。故选 B。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段 “The color purple is often connected with power... only the most powerful people could afford it.” 可知，紫色在古代稀有昂贵，是权力和地位的象征。故选 C。 4．段落主旨题。最后一段以漫画为例，介绍了色彩理论如何应用于角色塑造，通过颜色区分英雄与反派。故选 A。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （25-26 九年级上・江苏苏州・期中） Editor's note: China Daily is publishing news about China's work to reach its carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.

Though it's challenging, Chinese experts are still working on achieving carbon peak before 2030 and becoming carbon neutrality by 2060. More renewable energy (like water power and wind power) starts working. In the first 9 months of 2024, China added 210 million kilowatts of new renewable energy. That's 21% of all new power capacity — the highest in China. That's a lot! A report from Wood Mackenzie, a UK energy company, says China continues to lead the world energy changing. Never has the world seen the speed of growth of an energy system that China is achieving. By 2025, China's solar and wind power will be more than Europe and North America together. The report also says China's transport is changing. By 2034, electric cars will make up 66% of car sales.
