专题05 阅读理解（说明文） 主题语境01 人与社会-人际交往 （25-26八上·辽宁盘锦新兴中学、育才学校·期中）Friendship is one of the most valuable (珍贵的) things in Chinese culture. Ancient poets often wrote poems to show their feelings for friends. These poems have been passed down for thousands of years, and they still help us understand what true friendship means today. Wang Bo, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a line in his poem “送杜少府之任蜀州”：“海内存知己，天涯若比邻。” This means that if you have a close friend in your heart, even if they are at the end of the world, they still feel like your next-door neighbor. This tells us that real friendship can beat any distance. Another great poet, Li Bai, was known for his deep friendship with another poet, Wang Lun. He wrote in “赠汪伦”：“桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情。” In these lines, Li Bai used the image of a thousand-foot-deep peach blossom lake to show that Wang Lun’s love for him was even deeper. It’s a beautiful way to say “Thank you” for the friendship. These poems are not just old words. They are about the same feelings we have today: missing a friend, being thankful for a friend, and knowing that some connections are never broken. When you feel far away from a good friend, remember the words of the ancient poets. They knew exactly how you felt. 1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A.

They stand there among tall and green trees. Many tourists have come to Liuke village to enjoy its natural beauty and rich culture. “This is just beautiful,” says Zhao Mingzhuo, a tourist from east China’s Zhejiang Province. “The kids get to enjoy the fields here, the old enjoy the quiet environment, and the young people can go camping. It’s quite a good experience here.” Liuke is one of the ancient villages that lie beside the Wanquan River in Hainan. The Wanquan River is 163 kilometers long and runs through an area of more than 3,600 square kilometers. A classic Chinese folk song sings in praise of the clear water of the river. And in recent years, the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan, thanks to its rich stories and history. In the old days, when villagers needed to travel to other villages, they had to pass by this village. Then the village became a stopover (中转站) for tourists, so it got its name, Liuke.

Among different AI tools, Doubao, Kimi, DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen are quite popular among students. Let’s take a look at how they are different. Doubao is great for language learning. It can explain grammar points clearly, just like a patient English teacher. For example, when you can’t understand the present perfect tense clearly, Doubao can provide many examples and simple explanations (解释). It also helps with writing by checking grammar mistakes and giving tips. Kimi, on the other hand, pays more attention to creative ideas. If you are writing a story or a poem for English homework, Kimi can offer interesting plots (情节) and themes, which is useful for students who want to make their writing excellent. DeepSeek is powerful in learning facts. It has much information in different fields. When you are working on a history project or a science report in English, DeepSeek can quickly provide you with supported information and facts. If you come across something complex, DeepSeek can break it down into clear parts so that you can better order your thoughts. Tongyi Qianwen is really helpful for making pictures and shortening long texts. If you need pictures for a school project, just tell it what you want and it will make great pictures. Also, if you have a long reading for homework and don’t want to read it all, it can quickly tell you the main ideas. It makes study easier and faster. Different tools have different uses.

Students may push each other or run down the steps, which sometimes leads to accidents like falls or stampedes (踩踏). To keep students safe, three primary school students invented “voice-controlled smart stairs”. These smart stairs look just like ordinary stairs, but they have hidden sensors. There are 8 flat film pressure sensors on the right side of each step, and a long linear sensor along the middle line. When students step on these sensors in the wrong way, the stairs automatically play voice prompts. For example, if someone walks on the middle line or crosses the steps, it says “Please keep to the right” or “Do not cross the steps”. If many people stand on one step (showing a crowd), it warns “Do not crowd, please move slowly”. The invention was not easy to make. The biggest challenge was programming the sensors to work correctly. With their teacher’s help, the students learned basic coding and fixed the problems. Now the smart stairs work well in their school’s model. The students hope that one day real stairs in schools will use this design. The voice-controlled smart stairs are helpful for two reasons. First, they remind students to follow rules and stay safe. Second, they teach kids about using technology to solve real-life problems. It’s a great example of how young inventors can make their surroundings safer. 1.Why did the students invent the voice-controlled smart stairs? A. To make stairs look more beautiful. B. To help students find classrooms easily. C. To keep students safe from accidents. D. To practice their coding skills. 2.If there are 15 steps in total, how many flat film pressure sensors are there on the right side of all the steps? A. 8 B. 9 C. 100 D. 120 3.What can we infer from the passage? A. The smart stairs are already used in all schools. B. The students got help from their teacher with coding. C. The smart stairs have no sensors on the left side. D. The stairs can talk to students like a teacher. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. How to avoid stampedes in schools. B. A safe invention for school stairs. C. How to learn programming easily. D. Different types of school stairs. 主题语境04 人与社会-艺术 （25-26八上·辽宁大连第七十九中学教育集团·期中）Yunjin is a beautiful brocade (锦缎) made in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade. The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value. Yunjin, with a history of over 1,600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process is so long and difficult that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces. It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests. With the development of technology and changes in people’s lifestyle, young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a long time of learning and practicing. To pass down the skills of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957, which has helped spread the culture of brocade and built a cultural bridge between China and the world. 1.Why does yunjin have a high collecting value? A. Because it has a long history. B. Because it has the best quality. C. Because it is made of valuable materials. D.

This year, the world’s largest wooden palace is more than 600 years old! Do you know who made it? In 1406, when the Ming Yongle Emperor decided to move the country’s capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace in Beijing. It took about a million workers 14 years to finish it. Materials like Nanmu and stones were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the most valuable Chinese wood, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子).

Passage 2 （25-26八上·辽宁本溪-11月·期中）The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has come a long way since it was first introduced in 1956. Early AI systems could only do simple tasks, like solving maths problems. Today, AI is everywhere—from smartphones to self-driving cars. One of the biggest breakthroughs is machine learning, which allows AI to learn from data. For example, AI can analyze (分析) millions of medical images to help doctors detect diseases earlier. In education, AI tutors (导师) can provide personalized learning plans for students, answering their questions. However, AI also brings challenges. Some people worry that robots will take away human jobs, especially in factories and customer service. There are also concerns about data privacy (数据隐私)—how AI uses and stores our information. Scientists are working to make AI safer and more reliable. They hope AI can help solve global problems, like climate change and poverty. “The future of AI depends on how we use it,” said Professor Andrew Ng, a leading AI expert. “It should be a tool to improve human life, but not replace humans.” 1.How is the passage organized?

Passage 3 （25-26八上·辽宁沈阳东北育才学校中山校区·期中）Livestreaming (直播) is very popular these days, but have you watched livestreaming shows given by virtual hosts (虚拟主播)? They look like real people, but in fact, they’re just digital characters created by AI companies. Xmov is such an AI company in China. Set up in 2018, it has created lots of great digital humans. People talked about the company when it presented its latest high-technology products to more than 300 guests at a launch event in Shanghai last year. The company is the first in China to create the virtual social media star named Ling, who is always seen in a traditional Chinese costume. In August 2023, the company also used a 3D AI host to show their new products to more than 300 guests at an event, which caused a heated discussion among people. Now, many companies are using virtual hosts to sell their products through livestreaming. For one thing, it costs much less than building a traditional livestreaming room and team. For another, virtual hosts can work 24 hours a day. And tests have shown that they can do the job as well as human workers. Virtual characters are expected to be used in more industries. In the near future, we may see them act as teachers, salespeople, guides and so on. It will not only reshape (重塑) many industries, but also allow human workers to put more energy into creative work instead of doing ________ tasks. The AI technology is fantastic without doubt. But it can’t completely take humans’ place. For example, it will be difficult for digital humans to build trust with customers like real people.

Many of us grew up watching sci-fi movies with flying taxis. They are now becoming a science fact. ②The Japanese airline ANA teamed up with a US tech start-up called Joby Aviation. The two companies are now working together to build the flying taxis. They also need to work out what traffic rules the taxis will need to follow, and what kind of training flying taxi pilots will need. The five-seat, all-electric taxis will be able to take off and land freely. They will fly about 300 kilometres an hour, ③Joby’s CEO said the taxis would be good for the environment. He told reporters, “Joby helps people save time while cutting down their carbon footprint (碳排放量). Japan offers us a good chance to do that, with 92% of the population living in cities, and Tokyo being one of the top 20 busiest cities in the world.” The president of ANA was also excited about the project. He said, “ANA has 70 years of experience. It is able to offer people a chance to travel quickly from an international airport to the centre of a city.” The two companies successfully tested a flying taxi for the first time in 2020. ④So, the flying taxis are closer to our life. People’s dream of taking a flying taxi will come true. 1.The meaning of the underlined phrase “teamed up” is close to ________.

Professor Peng and his team spent many years and finally made a new kind of cloth. We can use it as a digital screen. The coat made by this new kind of cloth will be great. You can not only fold it, but also wash it. That’s because the cloth is made of a kind of soft but strong fiber (纤维) and fits people well. You can wear it just like any other coat. The difference is that it can work like a smartphone. It is just like putting a phone screen into the coat. Wear it and then it can show you a lot of information you want. Professor Peng believes that the new coat can be used in many ways. For example, a driver or bike rider can use it as a map on his or her arm when travelling around. Those who can’t hear or speak can also use it to talk with others. In hospital, the doctor can get the health data of a patient through his or her coat. That helps look after the patient better. Do you want to put on this coat? It’s coming soon. Let’s wait and see. 1.The writer starts to talk about the coat with a ________.

But sleeping can be dangerous because other animals may hunt sleeping animals. To help them stay safe, animals have many different ways of sleeping. Some of these ways may surprise you! ②Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They glide (滑行) for many hours without moving their wings up and down. Sometimes they sleep while they glide. ③A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphins can swim without sleep for two months to stay safe. Ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep with both eyes closed. ④Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Some fish make their own sleeping bags. They make a big bubble and sleep inside it.

This discovery is changing our understanding of forests, showing they are far more than just many trees growing in one place. The study explains that trees are connected by a special web under the ground. This web is made of their roots and a kind of fungus (真菌), which acts like a natural internet, often called the “Wood Wide Web”. When a tree is attacked by insects or is short of water, it doesn’t stay in silence. Instead, it sends out special messages to tell other trees about the danger through this web. Nearby trees that receive these messages will quickly start making special things to protect themselves. What’s more, the help doesn’t stop there. In the forest, there are larger, older trees, called “mother trees”, which play an important role. They are often the most connected centre in the web and will even share valuable nutrients (营养素) and water with younger trees through their roots and the fungus, giving them a better chance to grow better. This exciting discovery teaches us a very important lesson about nature. It helps us understand why it’s important to protect whole forest ecosystems, not just focusing on single trees. When we cut down too many trees, we break their communication and support webs. Then, they cannot help each other when there is a big storm, a tree sickness, or other problems like climate change. Life becomes much harder for them. The research team leader, Dr. Wang, shared his thoughts on the bigger lesson: “This teaches us a beautiful lesson about working together and community. Just like trees that support each other unconditionally, we humans should also work together to protect our environment. Every tree matters in a forest, just as every person matters in our society.” This finding reminds us that we are part of an interconnected world, and our future depends on learning from the wisdom of nature. 1.How do trees mainly “talk” to each other according to the study? A. By sending messages through the air. B. By changing the color of their leaves. C. Through their roots and a special web under the ground. D. By wind and air. 2.What do “mother trees” do to help younger trees? A. Give them more sunlight. B. Share nutrients through their roots. C. Protect them from strong winds. D. Help them fight the insects. 3.What does Dr. Wang mainly want to tell us? A. Cutting down trees is important for making cities bigger. B. Humans should learn from trees and work together. C. Older people are always wiser than young people. D. Trees are as important as people. 4.Which of the following best describes the purpose of the passage? A. To explain how fungus helps trees grow. B. To describe the dangers forests are facing. C. To tell us about a scientific discovery and its lesson on working together. D. To encourage people to protect plants. 主题语境01 人与社会-科普知识与现代技术 Passage 1 （25-26八上·辽宁沈阳第七中学·期中）Smart homes are becoming more and more popular these days. What is a smart home?

Passage 2 （25-26八上·辽宁阜新实验中学·期中）Traditionally, we take the subway with our subway cards or by scanning QR codes (扫描二维码) on our smartphones. But now, people traveling on the Beijing Daxing Airport Express subway have a new way to take a ride—they can scan their palms (手掌). To enjoy the service, people need to register (登记) their palm prints on machines in subway stations along the Daxing Airport Express subway line. Then they have to activate (激活) the palm-scanning function on their smartphones. Once they do this, they can scan their palms at ticket gates to pass through. After they finish the travel, the payment service on their smartphones will pay the money for their ride. Many people welcome the new technology. They think it helps them to travel faster and more easily. They don’t have to take out their subway cards or smartphones when they want to pass through the ticket gates. And they no longer have to worry when they forget their subway cards or when their smartphones run out of battery. What’s more, the palm-scanning technology is very friendly to old people and those who have special needs. Those people may not use smartphones well. This technology makes it possible for them to take the subway without using smartphones. Besides Beijing, the palm-scanning technology is also in service in the subway station of Shenzhen. And there are hopes that it can be used in more places like stores and restaurants in the future. 1.Traditional ways of paying for the subway ride include scanning ________.

Passage 3 （25-26八上·沈阳第一二六中学·限时作业）Smart technology is no longer a new idea—it has deeply entered our daily lives, changing not only what we do but also how we think about daily tasks. While many people enjoy its convenience, others worry about its possible effects. To understand it better, we can look at its use in different parts of life and the mixed feelings people have about it. At home, smart devices work together to make life easier. For example, a smart speaker can connect to a smart light: when you say “good night”, the speaker not only plays soft music but also turns off the lights automatically (自动地). A smart fridge keeps an eye on the food inside and sends a message to your phone when you’re running out of milk or vegetables. Even smart curtains can open or close by themselves based on the sunlight, so you don’t have to do it manually (手动地). These small changes add up, saving people a lot of time every day. Outside the home, smart technology helps in many ways too. Students use smart pads to take notes in class—they can easily organize notes by subject and search for key words quickly. Commuters (通勤者) depend on smart apps to check bus or subway schedules, which helps them avoid being late. Shoppers use mobile payment apps instead of carrying cash, making checkout faster. However, this convenience comes with a catch (隐蔽的缺点): some people become too dependent on these tools. For instance, students may forget how to write new words because they always use the “spell check” function (功能), and commuters might get lost if their phone runs out of battery and they can’t use the map app. People’s opinions about smart technology are divided. Some say it improves life quality and makes difficult tasks simple. Others argue that it makes people lazy and less able to solve problems on their own. No matter which side people are on, one thing is clear: smart technology will keep developing, and it’s up to us to learn how to use it properly. 1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph? A. Daily life B. A new idea C. A daily task D. Smart technology 2.What can a smart speaker do when connected to a smart light? A. It can keep an eye on food in the fridge. B. It can open the smart curtains automatically. C. It can send messages to the phone about food. D. It can turn off the light when told “good night”. 3.Why do some students forget how to write new words? A. Because they don’t take notes in class. B. Because they use “spell check” too often. C. Because they don’t organize notes by subject. D. Because they depend on teachers to write words for them. 4.What can we infer about people who have mixed feelings about smart technology? A. They think smart technology is completely useless. B. They spend more time on smart devices than others. C. They refuse to use any smart devices in their daily life. D. They want to enjoy its benefits but are worried about its problems. 主题语境02 人与自我-学习/语言 （25-26八上·沈阳第一二六中学·限时作业）When you meet a strange Chinese character (汉字), what will you do? Surely, the most reliable (可靠的) way is to look it up in Xinhua Dictionary. Since its birth in 1953, the Xinhua Dictionary has been used as an encyclopedia by people across China. More than 600 million copies have been sold. Xinhua Dictionary succeeded in opening up knowledge to millions of Chinese people. In 1949, about 80 percent of China’s population wasn’t able to get education. It was Xinhua Dictionary that had reduced the number to 52% by 1964. To make it easier for illiterate people to understand, the earliest copies had many pictures. Thanks to Xinhua Dictionary, many Chinese got new chances in their life. Mo Yan, the 70-year-old Nobel Laureate (诺贝尔奖获得者) once talked about the dictionary in his speech. He said that he was lucky to have a copy of the dictionary after dropping out from school. He learned most of the Chinese characters from it, and that helped him write novels and enter a college later. This important dictionary has also recorded the development of the language and society. It is revised (修订) every five to ten years. Recent copies have included many new explanations. The character “晒” (to dry something in the sun), for example, now has a second meaning: to share. In a way, the dictionary hasn’t just explained characters; it has reflected (反映) the way Chinese people think. 1.How did the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking a question. D. By using an old saying. 2.When did Xinhua Dictionary first come out? A. In 1949. B. In 1953. C. In 1964. D.

Ancient poets often wrote poems to show their feelings for friends. These poems have been passed down for thousands of years, and they still help us understand what true friendship means today. Wang Bo, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a line in his poem “送杜少府之任蜀州”：“海内存知己，天涯若比邻。” This means that if you have a close friend in your heart, even if they are at the end of the world, they still feel like your next-door neighbor. This tells us that real friendship can beat any distance. Another great poet, Li Bai, was known for his deep friendship with another poet, Wang Lun. He wrote in “赠汪伦”：“桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情。” In these lines, Li Bai used the image of a thousand-foot-deep peach blossom lake to show that Wang Lun’s love for him was even deeper. It’s a beautiful way to say “Thank you” for the friendship. These poems are not just old words. They are about the same feelings we have today: missing a friend, being thankful for a friend, and knowing that some connections are never broken. When you feel far away from a good friend, remember the words of the ancient poets. They knew exactly how you felt. 1.What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A. To introduce some famous Chinese poets. B. To explain why friendship is less important today C. To lead in (导入) the topic of friendship in ancient poems. D. To compare ancient and modern friendship. 2.What did Wang Bo want to tell us in his poem? A. Friends should live next to each other. B. True friendship can beat any distance. C. Traveling to see a friend is very difficult. D. He missed his hometown very much. 3.How did Li Bai show his thanks to Wang Lun? A. By giving him a beautiful lake. B. By writing him a letter. C. By using a deep lake to show his love. D. By visiting him every year. 4.What is the writer’s advice in the passage? A. We should write more poems for our friends. B. We should learn from the poets about friendship. C. We need to make more friends on the Internet. D. The feelings in old poems are out of date today. 【答案】1. C　2. B　3. C　4.

Students may push each other or run down the steps, which sometimes leads to accidents like falls or stampedes (踩踏). To keep students safe, three primary school students invented “voice-controlled smart stairs”. These smart stairs look just like ordinary stairs, but they have hidden sensors. There are 8 flat film pressure sensors on the right side of each step, and a long linear sensor along the middle line. When students step on these sensors in the wrong way, the stairs automatically play voice prompts. For example, if someone walks on the middle line or crosses the steps, it says “Please keep to the right” or “Do not cross the steps”. If many people stand on one step (showing a crowd), it warns “Do not crowd, please move slowly”. The invention was not easy to make. The biggest challenge was programming the sensors to work correctly. With their teacher’s help, the students learned basic coding and fixed the problems. Now the smart stairs work well in their school’s model. The students hope that one day real stairs in schools will use this design. The voice-controlled smart stairs are helpful for two reasons. First, they remind students to follow rules and stay safe. Second, they teach kids about using technology to solve real-life problems. It’s a great example of how young inventors can make their surroundings safer. 1.Why did the students invent the voice-controlled smart stairs? A. To make stairs look more beautiful. B. To help students find classrooms easily. C. To keep students safe from accidents. D. To practice their coding skills. 2.If there are 15 steps in total, how many flat film pressure sensors are there on the right side of all the steps? A. 8 B. 9 C. 100 D. 120 3.What can we infer from the passage? A. The smart stairs are already used in all schools. B. The students got help from their teacher with coding. C. The smart stairs have no sensors on the left side. D. The stairs can talk to students like a teacher. 4.What is the main idea of the text? A. How to avoid stampedes in schools. B. A safe invention for school stairs. C. How to learn programming easily. D. Different types of school stairs. 【答案】1. C　2. D　3. B　4.

Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade. The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value. Yunjin, with a history of over 1,600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process is so long and difficult that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces. It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests. With the development of technology and changes in people’s lifestyle, young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a long time of learning and practicing. To pass down the skills of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957, which has helped spread the culture of brocade and built a cultural bridge between China and the world. 1.Why does yunjin have a high collecting value? A. Because it has a long history. B. Because it has the best quality. C. Because it is made of valuable materials. D.

This year, the world’s largest wooden palace is more than 600 years old! Do you know who made it? In 1406, when the Ming Yongle Emperor decided to move the country’s capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace in Beijing. It took about a million workers 14 years to finish it. Materials like Nanmu and stones were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the most valuable Chinese wood, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子). People could only find it deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing. Stones were also transported to the palace. The heaviest stone in the Forbidden City is about 250 tons. It was so heavy that people could only move it during winter. They poured water onto the road to create ice. Then thousands of workers pulled the stone on the ice to the palace. As one of China’s largest palaces, the Forbidden City is a must-see for all visitors. 1.When did the workers finish building the palace? A. In 1406. B. In 1410. C. In 1416. D. In 1420. 2.What does the underlined word “Materials” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Wood. B. Stone. C. Matter. D. Buildings. 3.What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. The workers were so happy to build the palace. B. The palace is famous for the heavy stones. C. Winter is the best season to visit the palace. D. It was difficult to build the palace at that time. 4.Where can we possibly read the passage? A. In a travel guide. B. In a dictionary. C. In a geographic magazine. D. In a storybook. 【答案】1. D　2. C　3.

It took about a million workers 14 years to finish it.”可知，1406年开始建造，花费14年完成，所以是1420年完工。故选D。 (2)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据“Materials like Nanmu and stones were sent from all over China to Beijing. Nanmu, the most valuable Chinese wood, was used to make huge wooden pillars (柱子).”可知，楠木和石头都是建造宫殿的材料，所以“Materials”意思是“材料，物质”，与Matter“物质”意思接近。故选C。 (3)题解析： 推理判断题。根据“In 1406, when the Ming Yongle Emperor decided to move the country’s capital from Nanjing to Beijing, he started to build a palace in Beijing. It took about a million workers 14 years to finish it.”和“ People could only find it deep in forests over 1,800 km away from Beijing. Workers had to float the wood on rivers all the way north to Beijing....The heaviest stone in the Forbidden City is about 250 tons.”可知，建造故宫需要约一百万工人花费14年，楠木要从1800多公里外的森林深处运来，最重的石头约250吨，只能在冬天借助冰来运输等信息，可以推断出当时建造宫殿非常困难。故选D。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了故宫的建造历史、建造材料以及建造过程等相关内容，最有可能在旅游指南中读到。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26八上·辽宁朝阳第一中学联盟校-10月·期中）Cambridge, London and England By Tony Smith I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England.

Early AI systems could only do simple tasks, like solving maths problems. Today, AI is everywhere—from smartphones to self-driving cars. One of the biggest breakthroughs is machine learning, which allows AI to learn from data. For example, AI can analyze (分析) millions of medical images to help doctors detect diseases earlier. In education, AI tutors (导师) can provide personalized learning plans for students, answering their questions. However, AI also brings challenges. Some people worry that robots will take away human jobs, especially in factories and customer service. There are also concerns about data privacy (数据隐私)—how AI uses and stores our information. Scientists are working to make AI safer and more reliable.

This discovery is changing our understanding of forests, showing they are far more than just many trees growing in one place. The study explains that trees are connected by a special web under the ground. This web is made of their roots and a kind of fungus (真菌), which acts like a natural internet, often called the “Wood Wide Web”. When a tree is attacked by insects or is short of water, it doesn’t stay in silence. Instead, it sends out special messages to tell other trees about the danger through this web. Nearby trees that receive these messages will quickly start making special things to protect themselves. What’s more, the help doesn’t stop there. In the forest, there are larger, older trees, called “mother trees”, which play an important role. They are often the most connected centre in the web and will even share valuable nutrients (营养素) and water with younger trees through their roots and the fungus, giving them a better chance to grow better. This exciting discovery teaches us a very important lesson about nature. It helps us understand why it’s important to protect whole forest ecosystems, not just focusing on single trees. When we cut down too many trees, we break their communication and support webs. Then, they cannot help each other when there is a big storm, a tree sickness, or other problems like climate change. Life becomes much harder for them. The research team leader, Dr. Wang, shared his thoughts on the bigger lesson: “This teaches us a beautiful lesson about working together and community. Just like trees that support each other unconditionally, we humans should also work together to protect our environment. Every tree matters in a forest, just as every person matters in our society.” This finding reminds us that we are part of an interconnected world, and our future depends on learning from the wisdom of nature. 1.How do trees mainly “talk” to each other according to the study? A. By sending messages through the air. B. By changing the color of their leaves. C. Through their roots and a special web under the ground. D. By wind and air. 2.What do “mother trees” do to help younger trees? A. Give them more sunlight. B. Share nutrients through their roots. C. Protect them from strong winds. D. Help them fight the insects. 3.What does Dr. Wang mainly want to tell us? A. Cutting down trees is important for making cities bigger. B. Humans should learn from trees and work together. C. Older people are always wiser than young people. D. Trees are as important as people. 4.Which of the following best describes the purpose of the passage? A. To explain how fungus helps trees grow. B.

While many people enjoy its convenience, others worry about its possible effects. To understand it better, we can look at its use in different parts of life and the mixed feelings people have about it. At home, smart devices work together to make life easier. For example, a smart speaker can connect to a smart light: when you say “good night”, the speaker not only plays soft music but also turns off the lights automatically (自动地). A smart fridge keeps an eye on the food inside and sends a message to your phone when you’re running out of milk or vegetables. Even smart curtains can open or close by themselves based on the sunlight, so you don’t have to do it manually (手动地). These small changes add up, saving people a lot of time every day. Outside the home, smart technology helps in many ways too. Students use smart pads to take notes in class—they can easily organize notes by subject and search for key words quickly. Commuters (通勤者) depend on smart apps to check bus or subway schedules, which helps them avoid being late. Shoppers use mobile payment apps instead of carrying cash, making checkout faster. However, this convenience comes with a catch (隐蔽的缺点): some people become too dependent on these tools. For instance, students may forget how to write new words because they always use the “spell check” function (功能), and commuters might get lost if their phone runs out of battery and they can’t use the map app. People’s opinions about smart technology are divided. Some say it improves life quality and makes difficult tasks simple. Others argue that it makes people lazy and less able to solve problems on their own. No matter which side people are on, one thing is clear: smart technology will keep developing, and it’s up to us to learn how to use it properly. 1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in the first paragraph? A. Daily life B. A new idea C. A daily task D. Smart technology 2.What can a smart speaker do when connected to a smart light? A. It can keep an eye on food in the fridge. B. It can open the smart curtains automatically. C. It can send messages to the phone about food. D. It can turn off the light when told “good night”. 3.Why do some students forget how to write new words? A. Because they don’t take notes in class. B. Because they use “spell check” too often. C. Because they don’t organize notes by subject. D. Because they depend on teachers to write words for them. 4.What can we infer about people who have mixed feelings about smart technology? A. They think smart technology is completely useless. B. They spend more time on smart devices than others. C. They refuse to use any smart devices in their daily life. D. They want to enjoy its benefits but are worried about its problems. 【答案】1. D　2. D　3. B　4. D 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了智能技术在日常生活中的应用，包括其带来的便利和潜在问题，以及人们对智能技术的不同看法。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据文章第1段“Smart technology is no longer a new idea—it has deeply entered our daily lives, changing not only what we do but also how we think about daily tasks... and the mixed feelings people have about it.”可知，it指代的是智能技术。故选D。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第2段“For example, a smart speaker can connect to a smart light: when you say “good night”, the speaker not only plays soft music but also turns off the lights automatically (自动地).”可知，当智能音箱连接到智能灯时，说“晚安”它会自动关灯。故选D。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“For instance, students may forget how to write new words because they always use the “spell check” function (功能)”可知，一些学生忘记如何写新单词是因为他们经常使用“拼写检查”功能。故选B。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第1段“While many people enjoy its convenience, others worry about its possible effects.”以及第4段“Some say it improves life quality and makes difficult tasks simple.

Surely, the most reliable (可靠的) way is to look it up in Xinhua Dictionary. Since its birth in 1953, the Xinhua Dictionary has been used as an encyclopedia by people across China. More than 600 million copies have been sold. Xinhua Dictionary succeeded in opening up knowledge to millions of Chinese people.

Mo Yan, the 70-year-old Nobel Laureate (诺贝尔奖获得者) once talked about the dictionary in his speech. He said that he was lucky to have a copy of the dictionary after dropping out from school. He learned most of the Chinese characters from it, and that helped him write novels and enter a college later. This important dictionary has also recorded the development of the language and society. It is revised (修订) every five to ten years. Recent copies have included many new explanations. The character “晒” (to dry something in the sun), for example, now has a second meaning: to share. In a way, the dictionary hasn’t just explained characters; it has reflected (反映) the way Chinese people think. 1.How did the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking a question. D. By using an old saying. 2.When did Xinhua Dictionary first come out? A. In 1949. B. In 1953. C. In 1964. D.
