专题03 阅读理解（说明文）（广东省卷专用） 主题01 人与自我——学习、生活与建议 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞五校·期中） No one remembers everything. Luckily, we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memory if they want to. Here is some advice. ●Try to use new information immediately. For example, if you meet someone who says “Hi, I’m Carlos”, don’t just say “Hello”. Repeat the person’s name. Say “ ▲ ” ●Break a big number into smaller parts. For example, it’s hard to memorize 109244153. But if you break it into three parts—109/244/153—it becomes easier. ●Write out what you need to remember over and over again. This will help you keep it in your mind longer, especially for memorizing formulas (公式) or facts. ●Always review information. For example, before you go to sleep, it’s a good idea to review the new things you learned that day. ●Discuss with a friend. It is always easier to remember things through discussions. You can have a discussion about what’s right and what’s wrong, and it will lead to the right answer. And everyone’s memory will get better if they use it often enough. All of the suggestions are helpful. If you follow them, you are certain to improve your memory. 1．How many suggestions are mentioned in the passage? A．One. B．Three. C．Five. D．Six. 2．Which should be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2? A．Hello, Carlos. B．How do you do? C．Hello, I’m Sophia. D．Glad to meet you 3．How can we memorize a big number more easily according to the passage? A．By storing it in a computer. B．By discussing it with a friend. C．By breaking it into smaller parts. D．By reviewing it before you sleep. 4．What can we learn from this passage? A．Formulas can help you learn things quickly. B．Reviewing information can help you fall asleep. C．Humans can improve their memory with computers. D．Discussing with friends can help you remember things. 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To help us to remember everything.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省茂名市多校联考·期中） Time management (管理)was the greatest challenge for me in high school. I had to balance (兼顾) my subjects, activities, social life and the rest. I was often angry with my family members just because I didn’t plan my time well. For example, I might shout at them for troubling me when I was working. And sometimes I might say something bad to them when I missed deadlines (截止日期), even if it was actually my fault for cramming everything in (把……堆积起来) at the last minute. As time goes by, I realise that time management is very important in our everyday lives. The best advice to deal with time management is “break it into pieces”. It’s really important for you to learn how to break a big project into small and manageable tasks. Then you can work progressively and have a sense of achievement whenever you’ve done with a small part. Another piece of advice is to make a timetable for yourself. It must be a straightforward one. So you can follow it without difficulty. It doesn’t have to be the one that you follow completely, either. It’s just there to serve as a guide. You can compare your actual timetable with the planned one to see how well you actually use your time. The final suggestion is to always set deadlines for yourself. Look at how many tasks you have to finish. Manage your time in a correct way. Try to finish your tasks before every deadline. 1．Why was the writer angry with the family members? A．The writer was weak in subjects. B．The writer’s social life was boring. C．The writer failed to plan the time well. D．The writer had no chance to plan activities. 2．How can you manage time well according to the writer? A．By asking a guide for help. B．By following the timetable completely. C．By cramming things in at the last minute. D．By turning a big task into small tasks. 3．What does the underlined word “straightforward” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Simple. B．Strange. C．Dangerous. D．Terrible. 4．Why should you set yourself deadlines? A．It is the most difficult task. B．It is a good way to set a timetable. C．It helps you manage your time well. D．It encourages you to correct your mistakes. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Good Timetables B．Time Management C．School Achievements D．Difficult Social Life Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省中山市华侨中学·期中） Each year many people get lost in the mountains. Losing one’s way in the forest can be an uneasy and terrible experience. However, if you find you’ve got lost, stop at once. In many cases, you will find that following your footsteps will bring you back to the road. If not, follow these steps: Stay calm. If you get lost, panic is your greatest enemy. If you run wildly around, even for a little while you could lose your sense of direction. Try to remember how you got to your present location. Start marking. Leave markers wherever you go, so you can return. Also, if people try to rescue (营救) you, they will look for markers. So make as many of them as you can. On every turn, try to mark the direction you are taking. You got off the road, maybe ten minutes ago, so if you retrace (折回) more than that time, you know you are on the wrong way. Stay put. Remember that if you can’t retrace your steps, then it’s better to just stay where you are and let the searchers find you. Sing loudly or shout for help when you hear others trying to find you. If you have a whistle (哨子), blow it. Moreover, stay in the open so they can find you easily. Do not hide in the unseen areas. Follow down a river. It can be hard to go but will often lead to a road. And you will finally come back to a village or a town. 1．What is the greatest enemy if you get lost? A．Worry. B．Wild animals. C．Panic.

In China, such accidents are common, too. One key reason for this problem is the glass. During the day, birds fly towards the glass as it reflects the sky and nearby trees creating a misleading view. As night falls, birds fly according to the position of the moon and stars, and the bright light of the glass building might also draw them. These accidents could be avoided if we use proper ways. A German bird research group learned a skill from a little spider. When insects hit spider webs, spiders often catch them, while birds do not hit spider webs and always avoid them in time. After research, it was discovered that the spider silk can actually reflect UV (紫外线), while birds can see UV. Scientists think that if glass is covered with a UV coating (涂层), birds will regard it as “a huge spider web hanging in the sky”, and they will cleverly avoid it. And to humans, this bird-visible glass looks no different from regular glass, as human eyes cannot detect UV. The final test results show that 66% of birds consider the special glass as a wall. “Although it may not be as high as our expected 95% or 100%, it can already save a lot of birds,” said scientists. Nature seems to have the ability to solve things. In fact, when we deal with accidents of birds by using methods from the spider web, we are trying to use natural ways to protect animals. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By giving a fact. B．By telling a story. C．By using a saying. D．By asking a question. 2．Why do birds hit the glass during the day? A．Because of high buildings in cities. B．Because of the carelessness of the birds. C．Because of the bright lights during the day. D．Because of the reflection of the sky and trees in the glass. 3．The underlined word “regard” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．increase B．see C．celebrate D．request 4．Which picture could best match the test results? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Birds and UV Light B．Saving Flying Birds C．Glass and Spider Webs D．Avoiding Bird Accidents Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省佛山市禅城实验高级中学·期中） Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s science behind the act of tree-hugging. ▲ In fact, humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is in their DNA．This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies have been done to find out why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study reported that the activity can increase the level of oxytocin (催产素). It is an important hormone (激素) which can influence our feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in the level of oxytocin. Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person is anxious, angry or very sad. Hugging trees helps decrease cortisol production, which makes us feel better. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Many small living things live in the tree, and they are too small to be seen. So remember to hug trees softly-just like how you hug a friend! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By raising questions. C．By presenting facts. D．By explaining reasons. 2．Which of the following can be put in “▲” in Paragraph 2? A．Humans and nature are closely connected. B．Humans have different opinions about nature. C．Humans’ love for nature grows little by little. D．Humans have no sense of the beauty of nature. 3．Which may describe the relationship between good feelings and the level of oxytocin? (x = good feelings y = the level of oxytocin) A．B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Increase. B．Cut. C．Shorten. D．Keep. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Hug Your Friends More! B．Protect Trees, Protect Ourselves! C．More Trees, Better Life! D．Feel Down? Hug a Tree! Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省惠州市惠阳区第一中学·期中） You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 1．Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A．Stamps can be put on it. B．Every part of it is useful. C．People send it in a package. D．Addresses can be written on it. 2．What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Make room for. B．Add value to. C．Provide energy for. D．Put weight on. 3．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Story Time. B．History World. C．Sports News. D．Amazing Nature. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To advise people to protect coconuts. B．To ask people to grow more coconuts. C．To show the value and uses of coconuts. D．To introduce a fuel made from coconuts. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞市南城区·期中） Is the sky bluer in autumn than in summer? The answer is yes! There are some reasons behind this. The sun is lower in the sky in autumn. As the days get shorter, the sun appears lower and lower in the sky. It’s not directly above us anymore, and more of the sky is at an angle (角度) away from the sun. This lets more blue light reach our eyes, making the sky seem bluer. In autumn, there is less water in the air, so there are fewer clouds. Autumn is known for good weather—lower temperatures and less wet air. The air does not hold much water, so clouds do not form easily. When there are few or no clouds covering the sky, the blue color of the sky shows more clearly, and the sky looks more open and bright. You might be surprised, but the colorful leaves of autumn actually help give the sky’s blue a color boost, which can make the sky seem even bluer. If you’ve made a color wheel for an art class, you will know that blue and orange are opposite colors that look good together. The red, orange, and gold leaves of autumn make the blue sky stand out beautifully against them. This contrast looks nice and creates a special autumn view. So, the next time you go out enjoying the beautiful weather in autumn, take a moment to look up at the sky, remember these reasons why it looks so blue and enjoy the view! 1．Why does the sky look bluer in autumn according to Paragraph 2? A．Because the sun is smaller in the sky. B．Because the sun isn’t as high as it is in other seasons. C．Because we can’t see more blue light. D．Because the sun is directly above us. 2．Which one shows the relationship between the water in the air (x) and the blue color of the sky (y) ? A． B． C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “boost” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Introduction. B．Record. C．Change. D．Improvement. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Colors of Autumn: From Leaves to the Sky. B．Autumn Weather: Cooler and less Wet. C．The Most Beautiful Season: Autumn. D．A Bluer Sky in Autumn: The Reasons Behind It. Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·广东省惠州市第二中学·期中） When we talk about smart animals, what comes to your mind? Your answer may be dogs or monkeys. Now, you can add one more to the list: sheep. Sheep has powerful face-recognition abilities. Researchers from the University of Cambridge trained eight sheep to recognize the faces of four famous people and pick them out from two different photos. One was a photo of an unknown person and the other was one of the four famous people. If the sheep chose the right photo, it could get food but nothing if they did it wrong. After some time, the sheep could connect the food with the correct photos and make the right choice 8 out of 10 times. Then the researchers gave them another task to see if the sheep could recognize the same person from a different angle. The photos showed only the left face or the right face. The animals were still able to recognize them, though their performance dropped by about 15%. In the last test, the researchers showed photos of their trainers along with a number of other people’s faces. Without any training, the sheep could pick out their trainers 7 out of 10 times. It is not surprising why sheep are smart. ▲ That means they can be useful models to help us understand brain diseases like Huntington’s disease. The study offers another way to learn how these abilities change, especially in sheep who carry the gene mutation (基因突变) that causes Huntington’s disease. 1．Why does the writer mention dogs and monkeys in the first paragraph? A．To tell the difference among animals. B．To show that sheep are as smart as them. C．To make people interested in their brains. D．To discuss the reason for their smartness. 2．How can the sheep get food in Task 1? A．By finding the right food. B．By connecting similar photos. C．By following a famous person. D．By recognizing a correct face. 3．What does the underlined word “angle” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Side. B．Time. C．Culture. D．Group. 4．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A．They live long and have big brains. B．They can be raised easily by their trainers. C．Their ability to recognize faces is amazing. D．Little is known about sheep’s other abilities. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Smartest Brains B．Sheep Can Recognize Faces C．Animals Can Treat Diseases D．Famous Faces, Unknown Faces 主题03 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省河源市紫金县·期中） The Drama Festival will run in and outside China from June 20th to July 7th. Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology,” says Liu Chang, the manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, inspired (被赋予灵感) by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online. Zhang Zhouxiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30th to July 2nd. Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes. “The stage design is done by AI, which is like an assistant (助手) realizing the ideas of me and my team,” says Liu. “Now I try to use the latest technology, such as ChatGPT, to write the script (剧本), and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now, technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama — a scene to dream. 1．When will the Drama Festival run? A．From June 7th to July 20th. B．From June 30th to July 30th. C．From June 20th to July 7th. D．From June 30th to July 2nd. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

B．To advertise the plays in the Drama Festival. C．To explain why drama needs the latest technology. D．To encourage more audiences to watch dramas online. Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省清远市清远区·期中） By the year 2040, classrooms will be totally different from what they are now. Here are some typical examples of the changes we may see in schools in future. Interactive (互动的) walls will take the place of traditional blackboards. In traditional classrooms, teachers write on blackboards, but in future classrooms, teachers will write all the important words and knowledge points on the interactive walls. Students can also show their writing to the teachers on their intelligent desks. This can make students more active and more interested in class. Holograms (全息图) will bring a new learning experience. What does outer space look like? Most of us learn about this from photos in books, but it is hard to have a real understanding only through these flat pictures. Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences. They can learn from 3D pictures in the classroom with the help of holograms. They can “get close to” stars, planets or even ancient creatures. Virtual (虚拟) reality (VR) will offer students real scenes in class. When students learn about a king in history, they will be able to “walk” in the palace with him and feel the life of the ancient palace. When studying natural sciences, they can “step into” a rainforest or a deep sea. They will not only read about knowledge in books, but also “experience” it personally. 1．What can interactive walls do according to Paragraph 2? A．Help students ask questions. B．Show students’ writing to the teachers. C．Make teachers learn important words. D．Write the words on traditional blackboards. 2．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Holograms B．Flat photos C．Students D．Different experiences 3．How does VR help students learn history? A．By giving real scenes. B．By walking in the classroom. C．By showing palaces in history. D．By reading stories about history. 4．What’s the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①, Paragraph 2=②...) A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Our Classrooms in 2040 B．Learning More Effectively in 2040 C．More Interactive Classrooms in 2040 D．New Technologies Change Our Life in 2040 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省中山纪念中学教育集团·期中） Since computers were invented in the USA in the 1950s, they have become very important in many areas of work and leisure (空闲时间). ▲ that computers are very useful in technology and business. In space, computers have been used to control the speed and direction of a spaceship. In medicine, doctors can find diseases easily and solve hard problems with the help of computers. For example, tiny computers, which are placed inside patients’ bodies, can keep their hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by computer systems that are like human brains. They can do work that is dangerous to humans. In business, computers are used to place and cancel (取消) orders. They are also making the workplace safer and better. Since the internet came into being, people’s lives at home have been changed, too. More and more people have personal computers that are used to search for information and watch movies. Thanks to the internet, people can do shopping and do business at home. Instead of writing letters on paper, people communicate by sending e-mails and chatting online. The whole world is connected. The internet is making the world smaller, like a intimate village. Computers have improved our lives, but they have brought problems, too. If we work on computers too long, we may get headaches or sore eyes, and we won’t have enough time to study or exercise. Besides, not everything we read on the internet is true or good for us. Computers help us at work and at home, but they must be used wisely. 1．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 1? A．There is no doubt B．It’s hard to believe C．It’s a great pity D．There is a risk 2．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 2? A．By listing computer’s uses in different fields.

D．By explaining the history of medical computers. 3．What does the underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．New. B．Modern. C．Noisy. D．Close. 4．What does the writer suggest about computer use? A．Use computers as much as possible. B．Computers need wise use. C．Stop using computers completely. D．Use computers only for study. 5．What is the main idea of the text? A．How the internet changed daily life. B．The history of computer development. C．Computers’ uses in space and hospitals. D．The advantages and problems of computers. 主题04 人与自我——健康与饮食 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省佛山市顺德区·期中） With “0 sugar” drinks taking the market by storm, “sugar control” has become one of the most important topics for young people today. Singapore started to put labels (标签) on every drink recently to deal with health problems because of too much sugar intake. The labels are from A to D, and A is the healthiest. (means  least sugar) Since May 2025, Shanghai has tried out a three-color label system in 159 stores to help people control sugar. The system uses red, orange, and green labels on drinks. Green labels suggest checking the nutrition (营养) information. Orange labels tell people to cut down on sugar. Red labels mean you should avoid the drink or have less of it. 1．Which NUTRI-GRADE is juice in?

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞市清溪中学·期中） A recent study in a British medical magazine shows that many kinds of foods we enjoy, such as chips, cookies, and ice cream, are all ultra-processed (超加工的). What are ultra-processed foods (UPFs)? In short, we can’t re-create them in our kitchen. They are usually made in factories. They have long lists of additives (添加剂)—some we may never have heard of. The study shows that people may strongly crave such food. We usually can’t stop eating it, or we may feel sad. But why do UPFs make us want to keep eating them all the time? Usually, natural foods are either high in sugar or high in fat. UPFs, however, are usually high in both. It makes us feel happier and want to eat more. It is said that 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children crazily love UPFs. However, they cause problems to people’s health around the world. Eating too many UPFs will lead to poor diet and increase the risks of serious illness. For example, UPFs lovers are more likely to get heart disease and certain cancers. Governments are taking action right now. Some governments put taxes (税) on sugary drinks to make them more expensive, so fewer people will buy them. This idea can be used on the UPFs as well. Besides, in order to let people know the dangers of UPFs, these kinds companies are required to print out the additives on their products. Finally, governments are asking companies to use less unhealthy additives in UPFs so that the food can be made healthier. 1．Which of the following is ultra-processed food? A． B． C． D． 2．What does “crave” probably mean in the paragraph 2? A．be bored of B．be afraid of C．be crazy about D．be hopeful about 3．Which of the following can best describe the percentage of UPFs lovers. A．B． C． D． 4．What action can governments take to make fewer people buy UPFs? A．Making them more affordable for people. B．Adding more additives to make them taste better. C．Putting taxes on them to make them more expensive. D．Requiring companies to print out additives to make them healthier. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The problems of UPFs B．The popularity of UPFs C．The companies of UPFs D．The introduction of UPFs 主题05 人与社会——历史与文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省珠海市紫荆中学·期中） Have you ever wondered why we say shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following ▲ . “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 1．Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A．To tell a story. B．To introduce the topic. C．To give an example. D．To solve a mystery. 2．What are the words “huangshang” and “dianxia” mentioned for? A．To tell a story of the emperor and prince. B．To show that shang and xia refer to directions. C．To show how houses were laid out in ancient China. D．To explain that shang and xia can be used to show social positions. 3．Which of the following can be best put in ▲ ?

Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved. The Chengni inkstone has a long history, first appearing during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao. In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province. There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills. It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper material to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones. But the father and son did not stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone. 1．What do we know about the Chengni inkstone?

Just feel like screaming, don’t you? Don’t worry! HALT, which comes from the words—hungry, angry, lonely and tired, can be used as a tool to help you deal with your emotions. That is to say, when you feel bad, ask yourself if you have the following problems: hunger, anger, loneliness, or tiredness, and then do with them first. ● Hungry? Eat! Feeling mad? It could be hunger influencing your mood. When you’re hungry, your blood sugar level drops. If it drops below the normal level, you may become absent-minded and it’s easy for you to lose temper, and you’ll have bad mood. At this time, the lower your blood sugar level falls, the worse your mood will become. To balance your blood sugar level and improve your mood, you can carry some healthy snacks or some fruit in your bag. ● Angry? Pause! When you’re angry with someone or something, just stop thinking about the problems. Taking deep breaths and writing down your feelings in a notebook are both good choices. Such simple actions can help you cool down and avoid saying or doing something you might regret later. ● Lonely? Connect! Feeling lonely can make you sad or anxious. You can reach out to a friend or family member to chat with. You can also join a sports team or an art club to meet new people. Then you’ll feel more connected. Sometimes, just knowing that you’re not alone can help youweatherthe storm. ● Tired? Rest! If you’re tired, your brain won’t work well. It’s time for you to change your work pace. Try taking a 5-minute break after a 25-minute study. You can dance to a song or simply close your eyes for a moment. Make sure to sleep early to refresh your brain for the next day. To manage these feelings, you can also prepare a HALT first-aid kit. It is just as the saying goes, “________”. The things you put in your kit may include some snacks, a stress ball, a list of “happy songs” and even a comfortable sweater. After all, taking good care of our bodies helps our mind stay stronger. Let’s make good use of HALT. Through controlling our emotions well, we can make better decisions in our lives. 1．According to the passage, what can you do if you feel angry? A．Practice breathing exercises. B．Keep focusing on the problem. C．Eat some healthy snacks or fruits. D．Go to bed early for refreshing. 2．The underlined word “weather” means “________”. A．meet B．miss C．cause D．overcome 3．Which picture shows the changes of our mood according to paragraph 2? A．B．C．D． 4．Which sentence can be put in the “________” in the last paragraph?

A．How to Deal with Your Bad Mood Wisely B．How to Manage Stress with Healthy Snacks C．Mastering HALT: A Guide to Managing Emotions D．The Importance of Rest and Relaxation in Daily Life Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞市东华初级中学·期中） What will you say if you need to tell someone about yourself? Seeing yourself from the outside can be hard. However, knowing who you are helps you understand your feelings and make friendships stronger. Self-awareness (自我意识) means learning about your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is a simple viewpoint. For example, you might know you love playing basketball because you’re good at it. This is part of being self-aware. Self-awareness is important. When you know what you like and dislike, you can make better choices. Believing in your feelings can build confidence further. Self-awareness is one of the ten important life skills for a happy and healthy life. Being self-aware isn’t just about thinking about yourself. Understanding your own feelings helps you understand others better, too. A great way to learn about yourself is to ask questions. Use “What” instead of “Why”. If you keep arguing (争吵) with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing. Looking for the same points about your likes and dislikes helps you learn more about yourself. Learning self-awareness is a skill, and that means you can learn it as you grow. Try new things, like doing a new sport or listening to different music. Don’t worry if you don’t like something. Finding out what’s hard or challenging is part of learning about yourself. Keep exploring, and you’ll understand yourself better day by day! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By showing a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example. D．By sharing an experience. 2．The underlined word “viewpoint” in paragraph 2 means ________.

A．Learn About Yourself B．Try New Sports and Music C．The Importance of Friends D．The Way of Building Confidence 主题02 人与自然——动物保护、环境保护 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省清远市英德市·期中） The Yangtze finless porpoise (长江江豚) is a special animal that only lives in China’s Yangtze River. People call it the “smiling angel (天使)” because its mouth looks like it is always smiling. Scientists are working hard to protect this animal because another animal called the baiji dolphin (白鱀豚) used to live in the same river. But in 2006, scientists found that the baiji dolphin vanished from the river. This made them worry about the Yangtze finless porpoise. The number of Yangtze finless porpoises was once falling very fast. In 2012, there were only about 1,000 left. ▲ The government also saved them by stopping fishing in the river for ten years and making new environmental laws. By 2022, there were about 1,249 finless porpoises. In 1990, some Yangtze finless porpoises were moved to a lake called Tian’e Zhou. At first, there were only five Yangtze finless porpoises in this lake. But now there are more than 100. Scientists also take care of them in a special place in Wuhan. Here, baby Yangtze finless porpoises are born and grow up safely. One baby called “Han Bao” was very special because it was the first baby born in this place and then it had its own baby there too. The successful work to protect the “smiling angels” is a good example of how people can help save endangered animals. It also shows that with care and effort, we can make a difference. 1．Why do people call the Yangtze finless porpoise the “smiling angel”? A．Because it is always smiling. B．Because it always looks happy. C．Because its mouth looks like it is always smiling. D．Because its mouth looks very special. 2．What does the underlined word “vanished” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．The Yangtze’s “Smiling Angel” B．The Yangtze’s “Special Angel” C．The Ways of Protecting Porpoises D．The Stories of Saving Porpoises Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省清远市连州市·期中） Climate change has caused serious health problems around the world. More and more people have paid attention to the problems caused by climate change. Extreme weather events such as high temperatures, floods, and wildfires usually happen around the world. For example, there was heavy rain in Liaoning in 2024 and long hot days in the south that year. These disasters broke houses, ruined crops and made people move. In 2024, floods alone affected over 53 million Chinese people and brought big losses, which are bad for people’s lives and health. Another big problem is air pollution. It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal. What’s more, climate change makes Beijing’s pollen (花粉) seasons longer and worse. The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on March 15th. Its 2025 spring pollen came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024. When thunderstorms come, they break pollen into very small pieces. These small pieces easily get into people’s noses and throats, which causes breathing problems. All these changes are especially bad for children and old people. The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries. They want to build healthy systems that are good for the environment. This includes training doctors, providing good medical machines and making low-carbon projects. For example, some countries are using renewable energy like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution. Nowadays, countries around the world are making efforts for this. By joining efforts in energy, environmental protection and public health, the world can be better. 1．The number of Chinese people affected by floods in Paragraph 2 is mentioned to ________? A．show that people hate living in flood areas B．show floods’ great harm to people C．compare the numbers between 2024 and 2025 D．show that China has more floods than other countries 2．Why has air pollution become more serious? A．Because floods break houses. B．Because air pollution changes the season. C．Because wildfires happen and oil and coal are used. D．Because polluted air leads to lung disease. 3．When did Beijing’s 2025 spring pollen season most likely start? A．On March 10th. B．On March 15th. C．On March 25th. D．On April 5th. 4．What does the underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Relative. B．New. C．Expensive. D．Green. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Climate Change and Health Problems. B．How to Stop Extreme Weather. C．How to Deal with Air Pollution. D．The World Health Organization. 主题03 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞市虎门外语学校·期中） ① At the 15th China Airshow, a four-legged robot showed up and its special design and strong abilities surprised visitors from all over the world. This new kind of robots is created by China on its own and known as “robot wolves”. ② For the design idea, “robot wolves” come from real wolves in nature. Real wolves have sharp eyes. They also have fast movements and quick minds. However, what makes real wolves special is their teamwork when they hunt. According to that, CSIG (中国兵器装备集团公司) developed this new “iron fighter”. ③ For key technology, robot wolves have small sensors, radars (雷达) and cameras on their heads. They can “see” everything nearby and collect information from the environment fast. Also, with four metal legs, they can move easily on rough land like mountains and broken buildings — places where traditional robots often can’t reach. Besides, they use AI to make its own choices and plan where to go — no human control is needed at all. ④ With the key technology, the robot wolves are famous for their use in the military (军队). Working together, they are able to make fights safer without wasting time or energy. When they act, each has a clear job: ·Reconnaissance (侦察) Wolves are the team’s “eyes”. Within 2,000 meters, they can find goals, tell what the team needs to do, and send information back quickly. ·Attack Wolves are the “front-line” fighters. They move like snakes to find the best place to shoot, and use light guns to attack bad people. ·Transport and Support Wolves are the “logistics (后勤) helpers”. They follow the team and can help carry up to 20 kg of things. ⑤ In daily life, they can also help. After earthquakes or fires, they go into dangerous places to look for people or carry heavy things. What’s more, they can be teaching tools for AI and robot technology, helping teenagers get more interested in science. They help with science research as well — someday, they may help scientists explore other planets or the deep ocean. ⑥ By learning from nature and using new technology, robot wolves not only show how China’s robot technology is developing, but also how technology can help people and explore the world in amazing ways. 1．What gave CSIG the idea to make “robot wolves”? A．The fast movements of the real wolves. B．The teamwork of the real wolves. C．The quick minds of the real wolves. D．The sharp eyes of the real wolves. 2．According to paragraph 5, how are robot wolves used in daily life now? ① To search for people who are still alive after earthquakes. ② To transport daily vegetables and fruits to families. ③ To take part in planet exploration projects. ④ To serve as teaching tools for AI and robot technology. A．①② B．②③ C．①④ D．③④ 3．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with? A．Robot wolves show how China’s technology influences military and daily life. B．Robot wolves will take the place of human soldiers in the future. C．Learning from nature is a useless way to develop technology. D．Robot wolves won’t be able to work in difficult situations like in the deep ocean. 4．The underlined word “sensor” in the sentence probably means ________. A．A device used to measure physical properties (特性) (like light, sound) and send signals B．A small screen used to display pictures or data from the robot C．A tool used to store large amounts of information for the robot D．A part used to make sounds so the robot can communicate with others 5．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．B． C． D． Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省佛山市顺德区·期中） This year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine has been awarded to two scientists who discovered a powerful new way to fight superbugs (超级细菌). Superbugs are bacteria (细菌) that have become resistant to normal medicines, making them a main global health problem. The winners, Dr. Lena Chen from Canada and Dr. Marco Rossi from Italy, made their breakthrough discovery in a surprising place-soil. After years of research, they found a tiny natural particle (微粒) in soil that can effectively (有效地) kill these dangerous superbugs without harming human cells. They named this particle “Terramycin”. It works by breaking down the strong outer wall of the bacteria. Once this protective wall is destroyed, the bacteria quickly die. Their research journey began more than ten years ago when they started examining thousands of soil samples (样本) from different environments around the world. After many failures and challenges, they finally found this special particle in a sample from a tropical (热带的) rainforest. What makes their discovery even more unusual is that Terramycin appears to be effective against several types of superbugs that used to be very difficult to treat. This discovery comes at a critical time. Each year, millions of people worldwide suffer from infections (感染) that regular antibiotics (抗生素) aren’t effective, leading to many deaths. This new finding gives doctors hope for fighting these dangerous infections. A new medicine based on Terramycin is currently undergoing testing and might be available for patients within the next few years. The Nobel Committee praised this work as an important advancement for all humanity. It proves that sometimes, the solutions to our most challenging problems can be found in the natural world around us. 1．The word “resistant” in the sentence “Superbugs are bacteria that have become resistant to normal medicines...” most likely means ________ . A．helpful to B．dependent on C．easily killed by D．not influenced by 2．What is Terramycin? A．A type of superbug found in hospitals. B．A new tool for doctors to perform surgery. C．A name of the award given to the two scientists. D．A natural particle discovered in soil that kills superbugs. 3．What can we infer from the passage about the work of Dr. Chen and Dr. Rossi? A．It was quick and easy. B．It was a long and difficult process. C．It requires no more testing. D．It was only successful because of luck. 4．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By telling a story from beginning to end. B．By presenting a problem and then a solution. C．By comparing different scientific discoveries. D．By listing the reasons for a natural phenomenon. 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To tell the life stories of Dr. Chen and Dr. Rossi. B．To explain how the Nobel Committee chooses winners. C．To introduce a medical breakthrough and its importance. D．To warn people about the dangers of traveling to rainforests. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解（说明文）（广东省卷专用） 主题01 人与自我——学习、生活与建议 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞五校·期中） No one remembers everything.

I had to balance (兼顾) my subjects, activities, social life and the rest. I was often angry with my family members just because I didn’t plan my time well. For example, I might shout at them for troubling me when I was working. And sometimes I might say something bad to them when I missed deadlines (截止日期), even if it was actually my fault for cramming everything in (把……堆积起来) at the last minute. As time goes by, I realise that time management is very important in our everyday lives. The best advice to deal with time management is “break it into pieces”. It’s really important for you to learn how to break a big project into small and manageable tasks. Then you can work progressively and have a sense of achievement whenever you’ve done with a small part. Another piece of advice is to make a timetable for yourself. It must be a straightforward one. So you can follow it without difficulty. It doesn’t have to be the one that you follow completely, either. It’s just there to serve as a guide. You can compare your actual timetable with the planned one to see how well you actually use your time. The final suggestion is to always set deadlines for yourself. Look at how many tasks you have to finish. Manage your time in a correct way. Try to finish your tasks before every deadline. 1．Why was the writer angry with the family members?

In China, such accidents are common, too. One key reason for this problem is the glass. During the day, birds fly towards the glass as it reflects the sky and nearby trees creating a misleading view. As night falls, birds fly according to the position of the moon and stars, and the bright light of the glass building might also draw them. These accidents could be avoided if we use proper ways. A German bird research group learned a skill from a little spider. When insects hit spider webs, spiders often catch them, while birds do not hit spider webs and always avoid them in time. After research, it was discovered that the spider silk can actually reflect UV (紫外线), while birds can see UV. Scientists think that if glass is covered with a UV coating (涂层), birds will regard it as “a huge spider web hanging in the sky”, and they will cleverly avoid it. And to humans, this bird-visible glass looks no different from regular glass, as human eyes cannot detect UV. The final test results show that 66% of birds consider the special glass as a wall. “Although it may not be as high as our expected 95% or 100%, it can already save a lot of birds,” said scientists. Nature seems to have the ability to solve things. In fact, when we deal with accidents of birds by using methods from the spider web, we are trying to use natural ways to protect animals. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By giving a fact. B．By telling a story. C．By using a saying. D．By asking a question. 2．Why do birds hit the glass during the day? A．Because of high buildings in cities. B．Because of the carelessness of the birds. C．Because of the bright lights during the day. D．Because of the reflection of the sky and trees in the glass. 3．The underlined word “regard” in Paragraph 4 means ________. A．increase B．see C．celebrate D．request 4．Which picture could best match the test results? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Birds and UV Light B．Saving Flying Birds C．Glass and Spider Webs D．Avoiding Bird Accidents 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】文章介绍鸟类撞击玻璃的原因，并介绍借鉴蜘蛛网研发可反射紫外线的特殊玻璃来减少这类鸟类事故的办法。 【详解】 1．第一段指出：“Every year, a large number of birds hit the glass in the US... In China, such accidents are common, too.”，作者列举中美都有鸟类撞击玻璃的客观事实引出话题。 2．第二段指出：“During the day, birds fly towards the glass as it reflects the sky and nearby trees creating a misleading view.”，说明白天玻璃反射天空和树木误导鸟类，导致撞击。 3．第四段指出：“birds will regard it as ‘a huge spider web hanging in the sky’”，句意是鸟类会把这种玻璃看作巨大蛛网，regard此处含义为“看作、看见”，其余单词词义均不符。 4．第五段指出：“The final test results show that 66% of birds consider the special glass as a wall.”，研究表明，66%的鸟把这种特殊的玻璃当作墙，不会撞到它，所以图中好的结果应占到66%，B项符合。 5．全文先介绍鸟类撞玻璃的现象与原因，再介绍借鉴蛛网研发特殊玻璃减少撞击事故的办法，核心主题是避免鸟类撞击事故。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省佛山市禅城实验高级中学·期中） Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s science behind the act of tree-hugging. ▲ In fact, humans are born to love being around other living things. Humans’ love for nature is in their DNA．This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural, green views to city views. It’s also one of the reasons why people love cute pets. Some studies have been done to find out why tree-hugging can help with our health. A study reported that the activity can increase the level of oxytocin (催产素). It is an important hormone (激素) which can influence our feelings. The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be. Hugging trees for only 21 seconds can lead to an increase in the level of oxytocin. Another hormone called cortisol (皮质醇) is a marker of stress. The brain produces more cortisol when the person is anxious, angry or very sad. Hugging trees helps decrease cortisol production, which makes us feel better. Although the activity is helpful to us, it’s important to keep in mind that we shouldn’t hurt nature while doing it. Many small living things live in the tree, and they are too small to be seen. So remember to hug trees softly-just like how you hug a friend! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By raising questions. C．By presenting facts. D．By explaining reasons. 2．Which of the following can be put in “▲” in Paragraph 2? A．Humans and nature are closely connected. B．Humans have different opinions about nature. C．Humans’ love for nature grows little by little. D．Humans have no sense of the beauty of nature. 3．Which may describe the relationship between good feelings and the level of oxytocin? (x = good feelings y = the level of oxytocin) A．B． C． D． 4．What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Increase. B．Cut. C．Shorten. D．Keep. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Hug Your Friends More! B．Protect Trees, Protect Ourselves! C．More Trees, Better Life! D．Feel Down? Hug a Tree! 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“抱树减压”这一行为背后的科学原理，解释了抱树如何通过影响催产素和皮质醇水平来缓解压力，并呼吁人们在抱树时温柔对待自然。 【详解】 1．第一段直接陈述事实：“Recently, many young people have turned to trees to help with their stress. Although it sounds strange, there’s science behind the act of tree-hugging.”，通过呈现年轻人抱树减压这一现象开篇。 2．第二段横线处后文提到：“Humans’love for nature is in their DNA. This idea helps to explain why people prefer natural green views to city views.”，说明人类天生亲近自然，因此“Humans and nature are closely connected”最适合作为该段主旨句。 3．第三段说明关系：“The higher the level of oxytocin is, the calmer and happier you may be.”，表明催产素水平越高，人的情绪越好，二者呈正相关，对应题目中表示正相关的图像。 4．第四段中提到皮质醇是压力的标志，而抱树能“decrease cortisol production”，结合上下文“which makes us feel better”，可推断“decrease”意为“减少、降低”，与“cut（削减）”含义相近。 5．全文围绕“抱树缓解压力”展开，从科学原理到注意事项都围绕这一核心，因此“Feel Down? Hug a Tree!”最适合作为文章标题。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省惠州市惠阳区第一中学·期中） You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 1．Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A．Stamps can be put on it. B．Every part of it is useful. C．People send it in a package. D．Addresses can be written on it. 2．What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Make room for. B．Add value to. C．Provide energy for. D．Put weight on. 3．In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A．Story Time. B．History World. C．Sports News. D．Amazing Nature. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To advise people to protect coconuts. B．To ask people to grow more coconuts. C．To show the value and uses of coconuts. D．To introduce a fuel made from coconuts. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了椰子的多种用途和价值，包括作为能源、土壤改良剂、塑料替代品以及天然包装等。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful.”可知，椰子与其他水果不同之处在于它的每个部分都有用。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.”可知，椰子油被制成燃料后能为车辆、船只等提供动力，因此“power”意为“提供能源”。故选C。 3．推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文围绕椰子的自然属性和多种用途展开，与自然相关。根据文章内容可推断，最可能出现在杂志的“Amazing Nature”（奇妙自然）板块。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章从多个角度（能源、环保、邮寄等）展示了椰子的实用价值，故其主要目的是展示椰子的价值和用途。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总述椰子特点，第二、三、四段分述其用途（能源、环保、邮寄等），第五段总结产量和实用性，故文章结构为“总—分—总”。故选B。 Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞市南城区·期中） Is the sky bluer in autumn than in summer? The answer is yes! There are some reasons behind this. The sun is lower in the sky in autumn. As the days get shorter, the sun appears lower and lower in the sky. It’s not directly above us anymore, and more of the sky is at an angle (角度) away from the sun. This lets more blue light reach our eyes, making the sky seem bluer. In autumn, there is less water in the air, so there are fewer clouds. Autumn is known for good weather—lower temperatures and less wet air. The air does not hold much water, so clouds do not form easily. When there are few or no clouds covering the sky, the blue color of the sky shows more clearly, and the sky looks more open and bright. You might be surprised, but the colorful leaves of autumn actually help give the sky’s blue a color boost, which can make the sky seem even bluer. If you’ve made a color wheel for an art class, you will know that blue and orange are opposite colors that look good together. The red, orange, and gold leaves of autumn make the blue sky stand out beautifully against them. This contrast looks nice and creates a special autumn view. So, the next time you go out enjoying the beautiful weather in autumn, take a moment to look up at the sky, remember these reasons why it looks so blue and enjoy the view! 1．Why does the sky look bluer in autumn according to Paragraph 2? A．Because the sun is smaller in the sky. B．Because the sun isn’t as high as it is in other seasons. C．Because we can’t see more blue light. D．Because the sun is directly above us. 2．Which one shows the relationship between the water in the air (x) and the blue color of the sky (y) ? A． B． C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “boost” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Introduction. B．Record. C．Change. D．Improvement. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Colors of Autumn: From Leaves to the Sky. B．Autumn Weather: Cooler and less Wet. C．The Most Beautiful Season: Autumn. D．A Bluer Sky in Autumn: The Reasons Behind It. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文探讨了秋天天空为何比夏天更蓝的原因，并鼓励读者在秋天欣赏美丽天空的同时，记住这些使天空更加蔚蓝的原因。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“As the days get shorter, the sun appears lower and lower in the sky…This lets more blue light reach our eyes, making the sky seem bluer.”可知，秋天太阳位置较低，让更多蓝光进入眼中，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The air does not hold much water, so clouds do not form easily. When there are few or no clouds covering the sky, the blue color of the sky shows more clearly, and the sky looks more open and bright.”可知，空气中水分 (x) 减少，天空蓝色程度 (y) 增加，二者呈反比，所以应选斜线向下的图形B。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“You might be surprised, but the colorful leaves of autumn actually help give the sky’s blue a color boost, which can make the sky seem even bluer.”可知，画线词后提到了“使天空看起来更蓝”，因此“boost”在文中表示“给……增色、增强”之意，对应选项中的“Improvement”。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段提出了问题并给出了直接的答案；第二、三、四段分别解释了三个原因；第五段鼓励读者在秋天欣赏美丽的天空，并记住这些原因。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文紧扣“为什么秋天的天空更蓝”这一中心，最佳标题应与“秋天更蓝的天空及其原因”直接对应，故选D。 Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·广东省惠州市第二中学·期中） When we talk about smart animals, what comes to your mind? Your answer may be dogs or monkeys. Now, you can add one more to the list: sheep. Sheep has powerful face-recognition abilities. Researchers from the University of Cambridge trained eight sheep to recognize the faces of four famous people and pick them out from two different photos. One was a photo of an unknown person and the other was one of the four famous people. If the sheep chose the right photo, it could get food but nothing if they did it wrong. After some time, the sheep could connect the food with the correct photos and make the right choice 8 out of 10 times. Then the researchers gave them another task to see if the sheep could recognize the same person from a different angle. The photos showed only the left face or the right face. The animals were still able to recognize them, though their performance dropped by about 15%. In the last test, the researchers showed photos of their trainers along with a number of other people’s faces. Without any training, the sheep could pick out their trainers 7 out of 10 times. It is not surprising why sheep are smart. ▲ That means they can be useful models to help us understand brain diseases like Huntington’s disease. The study offers another way to learn how these abilities change, especially in sheep who carry the gene mutation (基因突变) that causes Huntington’s disease. 1．Why does the writer mention dogs and monkeys in the first paragraph? A．To tell the difference among animals. B．To show that sheep are as smart as them. C．To make people interested in their brains. D．To discuss the reason for their smartness. 2．How can the sheep get food in Task 1? A．By finding the right food. B．By connecting similar photos. C．By following a famous person. D．By recognizing a correct face. 3．What does the underlined word “angle” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Side. B．Time. C．Culture. D．Group. 4．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in the last paragraph? A．They live long and have big brains. B．They can be raised easily by their trainers. C．Their ability to recognize faces is amazing. D．Little is known about sheep’s other abilities. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Smartest Brains B．Sheep Can Recognize Faces C．Animals Can Treat Diseases D．Famous Faces, Unknown Faces 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了绵羊具有强大的面部识别能力，并通过实验证明它们能识别不同角度的名人照片和训练员的面孔，为研究脑部疾病提供了新模型。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When we talk about smart animals… Now, you can add one more to the list: sheep.”可知，作者提到狗和猴子是为了说明绵羊和它们一样聪明，故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“If the sheep chose the right photo, it could get food…”可知，绵羊通过识别正确的面孔获得食物，故选D。 3．词义猜测题。根据第三段“The photos showed only the left face or the right face.”可知，“angle”在此处指面部的不同侧面，故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is not surprising why sheep are smart”可知，填入内容需与绵羊的聪明能力相关，故选A。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕绵羊的面部识别能力展开，并说明其研究价值，故选B。 主题03 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省河源市紫金县·期中） The Drama Festival will run in and outside China from June 20th to July 7th. Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology,” says Liu Chang, the manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, inspired (被赋予灵感) by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online. Zhang Zhouxiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30th to July 2nd. Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes. “The stage design is done by AI, which is like an assistant (助手) realizing the ideas of me and my team,” says Liu. “Now I try to use the latest technology, such as ChatGPT, to write the script (剧本), and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now, technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama — a scene to dream. 1．When will the Drama Festival run? A．From June 7th to July 20th. B．From June 30th to July 30th. C．From June 20th to July 7th. D．From June 30th to July 2nd. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

Here are some typical examples of the changes we may see in schools in future. Interactive (互动的) walls will take the place of traditional blackboards. In traditional classrooms, teachers write on blackboards, but in future classrooms, teachers will write all the important words and knowledge points on the interactive walls. Students can also show their writing to the teachers on their intelligent desks. This can make students more active and more interested in class. Holograms (全息图) will bring a new learning experience. What does outer space look like? Most of us learn about this from photos in books, but it is hard to have a real understanding only through these flat pictures. Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences. They can learn from 3D pictures in the classroom with the help of holograms. They can “get close to” stars, planets or even ancient creatures. Virtual (虚拟) reality (VR) will offer students real scenes in class. When students learn about a king in history, they will be able to “walk” in the palace with him and feel the life of the ancient palace. When studying natural sciences, they can “step into” a rainforest or a deep sea. They will not only read about knowledge in books, but also “experience” it personally. 1．What can interactive walls do according to Paragraph 2? A．Help students ask questions. B．Show students’ writing to the teachers. C．Make teachers learn important words. D．Write the words on traditional blackboards. 2．What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 3? A．Holograms B．Flat photos C．Students D．Different experiences 3．How does VR help students learn history? A．By giving real scenes. B．By walking in the classroom. C．By showing palaces in history. D．By reading stories about history. 4．What’s the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①, Paragraph 2=②...) A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Our Classrooms in 2040 B．Learning More Effectively in 2040 C．More Interactive Classrooms in 2040 D．New Technologies Change Our Life in 2040 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了到2040年，教室将会发生的巨大变化，包括互动墙、全息图和虚拟现实等新技术在教学中的应用，这些变化将使学生的学习体验更加丰富和生动。 【详解】1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Interactive walls will take the place of traditional blackboards...Students can also show their writing to the teachers on their intelligent desks.”可知，互动墙可以取代传统黑板，并且学生可以在智能课桌上向老师展示他们的书写。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences. They can learn from 3D pictures in the classroom with the help of holograms.”可知，未来的学生将能够有非常不同的体验，他们可以在全息图的帮助下从教室里的3D图片中学习。由此推断，“They”指的是“学生们”。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Virtual reality (VR) will offer students real scenes in class. When students learn about a king in history, they will be able to ‘walk’ in the palace with him and feel the life of the ancient palace.”可知，虚拟现实将为学生提供课堂上的真实场景，当学生学习历史上的国王时，他们将能够与他一起在宫殿中“行走”，感受古代宫殿的生活。因此，VR通过提供真实场景来帮助学生学习历史。故选A。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段总述了到2040年教室将会发生的巨大变化，并引出下文的具体介绍；第二、三、四段分别介绍了互动墙、全息图和虚拟现实在教学中的应用，为并列关系。因此，文章的结构为总—分结构，即①/②③④。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了到2040年教室将会发生的巨大变化，包括互动墙、全息图和虚拟现实等新技术在教学中的应用。因此，最合适的标题是“Our Classrooms in 2040”（我们2040年的教室）。故选A。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·广东省中山纪念中学教育集团·期中） Since computers were invented in the USA in the 1950s, they have become very important in many areas of work and leisure (空闲时间). ▲ that computers are very useful in technology and business. In space, computers have been used to control the speed and direction of a spaceship. In medicine, doctors can find diseases easily and solve hard problems with the help of computers. For example, tiny computers, which are placed inside patients’ bodies, can keep their hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by computer systems that are like human brains. They can do work that is dangerous to humans. In business, computers are used to place and cancel (取消) orders. They are also making the workplace safer and better. Since the internet came into being, people’s lives at home have been changed, too. More and more people have personal computers that are used to search for information and watch movies. Thanks to the internet, people can do shopping and do business at home. Instead of writing letters on paper, people communicate by sending e-mails and chatting online. The whole world is connected. The internet is making the world smaller, like a intimate village. Computers have improved our lives, but they have brought problems, too. If we work on computers too long, we may get headaches or sore eyes, and we won’t have enough time to study or exercise. Besides, not everything we read on the internet is true or good for us. Computers help us at work and at home, but they must be used wisely. 1．Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 1?

What are ultra-processed foods (UPFs)? In short, we can’t re-create them in our kitchen. They are usually made in factories. They have long lists of additives (添加剂)—some we may never have heard of. The study shows that people may strongly crave such food. We usually can’t stop eating it, or we may feel sad. But why do UPFs make us want to keep eating them all the time? Usually, natural foods are either high in sugar or high in fat. UPFs, however, are usually high in both. It makes us feel happier and want to eat more. It is said that 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children crazily love UPFs. However, they cause problems to people’s health around the world. Eating too many UPFs will lead to poor diet and increase the risks of serious illness. For example, UPFs lovers are more likely to get heart disease and certain cancers. Governments are taking action right now. Some governments put taxes (税) on sugary drinks to make them more expensive, so fewer people will buy them. This idea can be used on the UPFs as well. Besides, in order to let people know the dangers of UPFs, these kinds companies are required to print out the additives on their products. Finally, governments are asking companies to use less unhealthy additives in UPFs so that the food can be made healthier. 1．Which of the following is ultra-processed food?

C．Putting taxes on them to make them more expensive. D．Requiring companies to print out additives to make them healthier. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The problems of UPFs B．The popularity of UPFs C．The companies of UPFs D．The introduction of UPFs 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了超加工食品（UPFs）的定义、危害性、成瘾性原因及政府采取的管控措施。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“chips, cookies, and ice cream are all ultra-processed”可知，薯片、饼干和冰淇淋属于超加工食品。图片A为薯片。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“We usually can’t stop eating it, or we may feel sad”及上下文可知，“crave”指对UPFs的强烈渴望，与“be crazy about（对……疯狂）”含义一致。   故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“ It is said that 14 percent of adults and 12 percent of children crazily love UPFs.”可知，约14%成人和12%儿童是UPFs爱好者，成人的比例高于儿童的比例，能体现这一比例的是B柱状图。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Some governments put taxes on sugary drinks... This idea can be used on the UPFs as well”可知，政府通过对UPFs征税提高价格以减少购买。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕UPFs的定义（第一段）、成瘾性（第二段）、健康风险（第三段）及政府措施（第四段）展开，属于对UPFs的综合性介绍。故选D。 主题05 人与社会——历史与文化 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省珠海市紫荆中学·期中） Have you ever wondered why we say shangcesuo (上厕所) instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo (意见相左) instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind. Up or down We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to (指代) directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Left or right Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following ▲ . “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 1．Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A．To tell a story. B．To introduce the topic. C．To give an example. D．To solve a mystery. 2．What are the words “huangshang” and “dianxia” mentioned for? A．To tell a story of the emperor and prince. B．To show that shang and xia refer to directions. C．To show how houses were laid out in ancient China. D．To explain that shang and xia can be used to show social positions. 3．Which of the following can be best put in ▲ ? A．pangmenzuodao B．shangcuanxiatiao C．qishangmanxia D．Zuosiyouxiang 4．Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage? Gate ; bathroom ; kitchen A． B． C． D． 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Why Chinese Say “Up” to Toilet B．Left and Right in Chinese History C．Directions Speak in Chinese Culture D．How to Tell the Directions in China 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了汉语中表示方向的词语所蕴含的历史文化。 【详解】 1．推理判断题。第一段通过“上厕所”和“意见相左”的例子引出汉语中方向词背后蕴含历史文化的主题。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to directions but also social positions.”可知，提到“皇上”和“殿下”是为了说明“上”和“下”可用于表示社会地位。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“If people don’t accept common beliefs”可知，此处指“不认同普遍观念的人”，与“旁门左道”（非主流的做法）意思相符。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part...and the kitchen in the southeastern part.”可知，房屋布局为大门朝南，卫生间在东北方，厨房在东南方。图B符合此布局。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了汉语中“上下左右”等方向词所承载的历史文化内涵。故选C。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省珠海市部分学校·期中） In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved. The Chengni inkstone has a long history, first appearing during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao. In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province. There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills. It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper material to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones. But the father and son did not stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence of the Chengni inkstone. 1．What do we know about the Chengni inkstone? A．It has quite a long history. B．It was popular only in Shanxi Province. C．It became famous in the late Qing Dynasty. D．It first appeared during the Eastern Han Dynasty. 2．When did Lin Yongmao and Lin Tao win a gold prize? A．In 1984. B．In 1986. C．In 1991. D．In 1994. 3．What’s the purpose of Paragraph 4? A．To tell readers how to produce the Chengni inkstone. B．To explain how hard it was to revive the Chengni inkstone. C．To encourage readers to learn about China’s famous inkstones. D．To help readers understand the importance of the Chengni inkstone. 4．The underlined word “expand” in the last paragraph means “________”. A．clear B．increase C．avoid D．accept 5．What is the best title for the passage?

Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize...”可知，蔺永茂和蔺涛于1991年成功制成澄泥砚，三年后，即1994年，他们的澄泥砚获得金奖。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据第四段“It took the father and son two years to find proper material...After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones...”可知，本段描述了蔺氏父子寻找材料、多次失败后最终成功制作澄泥砚的艰辛过程，目的是说明复兴澄泥砚技艺的困难。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Lin Tao...brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence”和选项可推知，蔺涛将澄泥砚带到国内外参加比赛，是为了增加其影响力。因此，expand意为increase“增加”。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕澄泥砚技艺的失传与复兴展开，重点讲述蔺氏父子如何让这一古老技艺重获新生。因此，选项C“让古老技艺重焕生机”是最佳标题。故选C。 主题01 人与自我——自我管理与自我提升 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省珠海市第十一中学·期中） Have you ever experienced endless work, great pressure, or carried high expectations? Just feel like screaming, don’t you? Don’t worry! HALT, which comes from the words—hungry, angry, lonely and tired, can be used as a tool to help you deal with your emotions. That is to say, when you feel bad, ask yourself if you have the following problems: hunger, anger, loneliness, or tiredness, and then do with them first. ● Hungry? Eat! Feeling mad? It could be hunger influencing your mood. When you’re hungry, your blood sugar level drops. If it drops below the normal level, you may become absent-minded and it’s easy for you to lose temper, and you’ll have bad mood. At this time, the lower your blood sugar level falls, the worse your mood will become. To balance your blood sugar level and improve your mood, you can carry some healthy snacks or some fruit in your bag. ● Angry? Pause! When you’re angry with someone or something, just stop thinking about the problems. Taking deep breaths and writing down your feelings in a notebook are both good choices. Such simple actions can help you cool down and avoid saying or doing something you might regret later. ● Lonely? Connect! Feeling lonely can make you sad or anxious. You can reach out to a friend or family member to chat with. You can also join a sports team or an art club to meet new people. Then you’ll feel more connected. Sometimes, just knowing that you’re not alone can help youweatherthe storm. ● Tired? Rest! If you’re tired, your brain won’t work well. It’s time for you to change your work pace. Try taking a 5-minute break after a 25-minute study. You can dance to a song or simply close your eyes for a moment. Make sure to sleep early to refresh your brain for the next day. To manage these feelings, you can also prepare a HALT first-aid kit. It is just as the saying goes, “________”. The things you put in your kit may include some snacks, a stress ball, a list of “happy songs” and even a comfortable sweater. After all, taking good care of our bodies helps our mind stay stronger. Let’s make good use of HALT. Through controlling our emotions well, we can make better decisions in our lives. 1．According to the passage, what can you do if you feel angry? A．Practice breathing exercises. B．Keep focusing on the problem. C．Eat some healthy snacks or fruits. D．Go to bed early for refreshing. 2．The underlined word “weather” means “________”.

Seeing yourself from the outside can be hard. However, knowing who you are helps you understand your feelings and make friendships stronger. Self-awareness (自我意识) means learning about your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is a simple viewpoint. For example, you might know you love playing basketball because you’re good at it. This is part of being self-aware. Self-awareness is important. When you know what you like and dislike, you can make better choices. Believing in your feelings can build confidence further. Self-awareness is one of the ten important life skills for a happy and healthy life. Being self-aware isn’t just about thinking about yourself. Understanding your own feelings helps you understand others better, too. A great way to learn about yourself is to ask questions. Use “What” instead of “Why”. If you keep arguing (争吵) with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you’re arguing. Looking for the same points about your likes and dislikes helps you learn more about yourself. Learning self-awareness is a skill, and that means you can learn it as you grow. Try new things, like doing a new sport or listening to different music. Don’t worry if you don’t like something. Finding out what’s hard or challenging is part of learning about yourself. Keep exploring, and you’ll understand yourself better day by day! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By showing a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By giving an example. D．By sharing an experience. 2．The underlined word “viewpoint” in paragraph 2 means ________.

People call it the “smiling angel (天使)” because its mouth looks like it is always smiling. Scientists are working hard to protect this animal because another animal called the baiji dolphin (白鱀豚) used to live in the same river. But in 2006, scientists found that the baiji dolphin vanished from the river. This made them worry about the Yangtze finless porpoise. The number of Yangtze finless porpoises was once falling very fast. In 2012, there were only about 1,000 left. ▲ The government also saved them by stopping fishing in the river for ten years and making new environmental laws. By 2022, there were about 1,249 finless porpoises. In 1990, some Yangtze finless porpoises were moved to a lake called Tian’e Zhou. At first, there were only five Yangtze finless porpoises in this lake. But now there are more than 100. Scientists also take care of them in a special place in Wuhan. Here, baby Yangtze finless porpoises are born and grow up safely. One baby called “Han Bao” was very special because it was the first baby born in this place and then it had its own baby there too. The successful work to protect the “smiling angels” is a good example of how people can help save endangered animals. It also shows that with care and effort, we can make a difference. 1．Why do people call the Yangtze finless porpoise the “smiling angel”? A．Because it is always smiling. B．Because it always looks happy. C．Because its mouth looks like it is always smiling. D．Because its mouth looks very special. 2．What does the underlined word “vanished” in paragraph 2 mean?

C．So workers took care of them very carefully. D．So people took many steps to protect them. 4．How many Yangtze finless porpoises are there in Tian’e Zhou now? A．Only one hundred. B．About two hundred. C．More than two hundred. D．More than one hundred. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Yangtze’s “Smiling Angel” B．The Yangtze’s “Special Angel” C．The Ways of Protecting Porpoises D．The Stories of Saving Porpoises 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了被称为“微笑天使”的长江江豚的特点，以及人们为保护这一物种所采取的措施和取得的成效。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据第1段“because its mouth looks like it is always smiling”可知，江豚因嘴部形似微笑被称为“微笑天使”。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第2段“in 2006, scientists found that the baiji dolphin vanished from the river”及后文“This made them worry about the Yangtze finless porpoise.”可推断，白鱀豚从河里消失（不见了）才让科学家担心长江江豚，故vanished意为“消失”。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第3段空缺后“The government also saved them by stopping fishing in the river for ten years and making new environmental laws”可知，政府通过禁渔和立法等措施来保护江豚，这些措施的实施主体是“人们/社会”，因此▲处应填入能概括这些社会性保护行动的句子。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据第4段“But now there are more than 100”可知，现在天鹅洲有超过100只长江江豚。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。最佳标题题。文章围绕被称为“微笑天使”的长江江豚展开，介绍了它的特点和保护情况，选项A“长江的‘微笑天使’” 能概括全文核心。故选A。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·广东省清远市连州市·期中） Climate change has caused serious health problems around the world. More and more people have paid attention to the problems caused by climate change. Extreme weather events such as high temperatures, floods, and wildfires usually happen around the world. For example, there was heavy rain in Liaoning in 2024 and long hot days in the south that year. These disasters broke houses, ruined crops and made people move. In 2024, floods alone affected over 53 million Chinese people and brought big losses, which are bad for people’s lives and health. Another big problem is air pollution. It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal. What’s more, climate change makes Beijing’s pollen (花粉) seasons longer and worse. The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on March 15th. Its 2025 spring pollen came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024. When thunderstorms come, they break pollen into very small pieces. These small pieces easily get into people’s noses and throats, which causes breathing problems. All these changes are especially bad for children and old people. The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries. They want to build healthy systems that are good for the environment. This includes training doctors, providing good medical machines and making low-carbon projects. For example, some countries are using renewable energy like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution. Nowadays, countries around the world are making efforts for this. By joining efforts in energy, environmental protection and public health, the world can be better. 1．The number of Chinese people affected by floods in Paragraph 2 is mentioned to ________? A．show that people hate living in flood areas B．show floods’ great harm to people C．compare the numbers between 2024 and 2025 D．show that China has more floods than other countries 2．Why has air pollution become more serious? A．Because floods break houses. B．Because air pollution changes the season. C．Because wildfires happen and oil and coal are used. D．Because polluted air leads to lung disease. 3．When did Beijing’s 2025 spring pollen season most likely start? A．On March 10th. B．On March 15th. C．On March 25th. D．On April 5th. 4．What does the underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Relative. B．New. C．Expensive. D．Green. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．Climate Change and Health Problems. B．How to Stop Extreme Weather. C．How to Deal with Air Pollution. D．The World Health Organization. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了气候变化引发的极端天气和空气污染对人类健康造成的严重影响，以及世界卫生组织与各国合作采取的环保措施。 【详解】 1．细节理解题。根据“In 2024, floods alone affected over 53 million Chinese people and brought big losses, which are bad for people’s lives and health.”可知，2024年仅洪水就影响了5300多万中国人，并造成巨大损失，这对人们的生活和健康有害。由此可知，数据是为了说明洪水对人类的巨大危害。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal.”可知，空气污染加剧的原因是野火和化石燃料的使用。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on March 15th. Its 2025 spring pollen came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024.”可知，2024年北京春季花粉季始于3月15日，2025年比2024年提前4至7天。由此可推算出2025年花粉季最早始于3月8日，最晚始于3月11日，选项中只有3月10日符合范围。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据“like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution.”可知，太阳能是可再生能源，可再生能源能减少污染。“renewable”在此处指“环保的，可持续的”，与选项D意思相近。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文围绕气候变化导致的健康问题展开，包括极端天气、空气污染的影响及应对措施。A选项“气候变化与健康问题”全面概括主题，最适合当标题。故选A。 主题03 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·广东省东莞市虎门外语学校·期中） ① At the 15th China Airshow, a four-legged robot showed up and its special design and strong abilities surprised visitors from all over the world. This new kind of robots is created by China on its own and known as “robot wolves”. ② For the design idea, “robot wolves” come from real wolves in nature. Real wolves have sharp eyes. They also have fast movements and quick minds. However, what makes real wolves special is their teamwork when they hunt. According to that, CSIG (中国兵器装备集团公司) developed this new “iron fighter”. ③ For key technology, robot wolves have small sensors, radars (雷达) and cameras on their heads. They can “see” everything nearby and collect information from the environment fast. Also, with four metal legs, they can move easily on rough land like mountains and broken buildings — places where traditional robots often can’t reach. Besides, they use AI to make its own choices and plan where to go — no human control is needed at all. ④ With the key technology, the robot wolves are famous for their use in the military (军队). Working together, they are able to make fights safer without wasting time or energy. When they act, each has a clear job: ·Reconnaissance (侦察) Wolves are the team’s “eyes”. Within 2,000 meters, they can find goals, tell what the team needs to do, and send information back quickly. ·Attack Wolves are the “front-line” fighters. They move like snakes to find the best place to shoot, and use light guns to attack bad people. ·Transport and Support Wolves are the “logistics (后勤) helpers”. They follow the team and can help carry up to 20 kg of things. ⑤ In daily life, they can also help. After earthquakes or fires, they go into dangerous places to look for people or carry heavy things. What’s more, they can be teaching tools for AI and robot technology, helping teenagers get more interested in science. They help with science research as well — someday, they may help scientists explore other planets or the deep ocean. ⑥ By learning from nature and using new technology, robot wolves not only show how China’s robot technology is developing, but also how technology can help people and explore the world in amazing ways. 1．What gave CSIG the idea to make “robot wolves”?

Superbugs are bacteria (细菌) that have become resistant to normal medicines, making them a main global health problem. The winners, Dr. Lena Chen from Canada and Dr. Marco Rossi from Italy, made their breakthrough discovery in a surprising place-soil. After years of research, they found a tiny natural particle (微粒) in soil that can effectively (有效地) kill these dangerous superbugs without harming human cells. They named this particle “Terramycin”. It works by breaking down the strong outer wall of the bacteria. Once this protective wall is destroyed, the bacteria quickly die. Their research journey began more than ten years ago when they started examining thousands of soil samples (样本) from different environments around the world. After many failures and challenges, they finally found this special particle in a sample from a tropical (热带的) rainforest. What makes their discovery even more unusual is that Terramycin appears to be effective against several types of superbugs that used to be very difficult to treat. This discovery comes at a critical time. Each year, millions of people worldwide suffer from infections (感染) that regular antibiotics (抗生素) aren’t effective, leading to many deaths. This new finding gives doctors hope for fighting these dangerous infections. A new medicine based on Terramycin is currently undergoing testing and might be available for patients within the next few years. The Nobel Committee praised this work as an important advancement for all humanity. It proves that sometimes, the solutions to our most challenging problems can be found in the natural world around us. 1．The word “resistant” in the sentence “Superbugs are bacteria that have become resistant to normal medicines...” most likely means ________ . A．helpful to B．dependent on C．easily killed by D．not influenced by 2．What is Terramycin? A．A type of superbug found in hospitals. B．A new tool for doctors to perform surgery. C．A name of the award given to the two scientists. D．A natural particle discovered in soil that kills superbugs. 3．What can we infer from the passage about the work of Dr. Chen and Dr. Rossi? A．It was quick and easy. B．It was a long and difficult process. C．It requires no more testing. D．It was only successful because of luck. 4．How is the passage mainly organized? A．By telling a story from beginning to end. B．By presenting a problem and then a solution. C．By comparing different scientific discoveries. D．By listing the reasons for a natural phenomenon. 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To tell the life stories of Dr. Chen and Dr. Rossi. B．To explain how the Nobel Committee chooses winners. C．To introduce a medical breakthrough and its importance. D．To warn people about the dangers of traveling to rainforests. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要写了两名科学家因从土壤中发现可杀灭超级细菌的天然微粒获诺贝尔医学奖，该发现有望解决全球耐药细菌难题，也启示人类答案藏于自然。 【详解】 1．根据第一段画线词所在句“Superbugs are bacteria that have become resistant to normal medicines, making them a main global health problem.”可知，超细菌是一个主要的全球健康问题，这是因为普通药物对它们不起作用。因此“resistant”意为“有抵抗力的”，即不受药物影响的，与D选项“not influenced by”意思最接近。 2．根据第二段中“they found a tiny natural particle in soil that can effectively kill these dangerous superbugs... They named this particle ‘Terramycin’.”可知，Terramycin是科学家在土壤中发现的一种能有效杀死超细菌的天然微粒。 3．根据第三段中“Their research journey began more than ten years ago... After many failures and challenges...”可知，他们的研究始于十多年前，检查了成千上万个样本，经历了许多失败和挑战。由此可推断，这是一个漫长且艰难的过程。 4．文章第一段首先提出了超细菌耐药性这一全球健康难题（problem），随后第二至五段详细介绍了科学家发现Terramycin 这一解决方案（solution）及其意义和影响。因此，文章主要是按照“提出问题 - 解决问题”的逻辑组织的。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要报道了两位科学家因发现对抗超细菌的新物质Terramycin而获得诺贝尔医学奖，并介绍了该发现的过程及其对医学界的重要意义。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
