Turn right!” In the information technology (IT) class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around.“This is part of our artificial intelligence (AI) courses,” said the 10th grader from Beijing 101 Middle School. The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart fromcompulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more.“This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been tested in high school graduation exams in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui.In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing trend (趋势) in many places, with Zhejiang province being atypical example. In 2020, Zhejiang added AI education into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to build 1, 000 AI experimental schools by 2025.“With the development of technology, our textbooks have been changing all the time,” said Shang Yin, an IT teacher from Beijing 101 Middle School. “From typing to using Word and Excel, and then today’s coding and AI, the courses are keeping up with the times and teaching students necessary skills.” In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is re quired.

In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo T ourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!”However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popul arity.Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.19．What does the underlined word “lure” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Attract. B．Challenge. C．Follow. D．Organize.20．What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect?①Famous people’s recommendation.②Barbecue at low prices.③Support from neighbouring cities.④Local people’s kindness.A．①②③B．②③④C．①②④D．①③④21．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science fiction.

According to reports, about 35.6 percent of primary school students and nearly 81 percent of senior high school students are nearsighted (近视的) in China.Considering this background, Wantang Primary School in Yunnan province really stands out. This is because none of the students at this school suffer from myopia. Parents, teachers and eye experts began discussing whether the school’s experience can be used to tackle the rising level of myopia across China.Yang Chenhao is a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of F udan University. He said that while the school is a special case, some of its methods are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.Yang Qingyi is a teacher at the school, which has 536 students. He said that all children are required to go outside during class breaks. “Even for quiet kids, we encourage them to take a walk outside,” he said. When the three sports teachers there are busy, teachers of other subjects will work as trainers to teach basketball and table tennis.“If there is one piece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say large amounts of outdoor activities,” said Sun Fubiao, the primary school’s headmaster. Sun said that a number of his students’ par ents are working in other areas, so the school has fixed six public phones while not allowing use of personal mobile phones.“In teacher-parent WeChat groups, we often remind parents to pay attention to kids’ eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations,” he added.22．How is the first paragraph organized?A．By listing numbers.

A，阅读理解Technology has brought ancient poets “back to life”. At the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing, there were two robots that looked like the Chinese poets Li Bai and Du Fu. While Li Bai was holding up a cup of wine, Du Fu was sitting at a desk, writing.These are called bionic (仿生的) robots. The robot’s skin is usually made of silicone (硅胶),CGTN explained in a video about Liaoning-based producer EXROBOTS. The robot’s skin is very soft. You can even see veins (血管) under the skin.Another human-like robot also attracted attention recently. It was created by US company Apptronik. Named Apollo, it has around 30 muscles (肌肉). For now, the robot can only make simple movements, such as walking and waving . The robot’s head has cameras and sensors (传感器) inside. They can help it map out a 360-degree view (景象) of its environment. They also help the robot keep balance when walking on unstable (不稳定的) surfaces.Nowadays, bionic human-like robots mostly work with humans, such as by being tour guides or helpingvisitors at front desks. This could be because people are comfortable living and working with machines that look and act like them. They can “strike a chord (引起共鸣) with people,” a US robotics scientist Marc Raibert told New Yorker.As more human-like robots come out, safety will be the key, according to the Robot Report website. When a 70-kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may get hurt.1. What does “brought ancient poets ‘back to life’” mean in Paragraph 1?A. Technology can make ancient poets come back to life.B. The robots looked and acted like real ancient poets.C. Visitors can experience real ancient life with new technology.D. The robots can create better poems than poets.2. The skin of robots made by EXROBOTS shows _____.A. how human-like their robots areB. how soft the robot’s skin isC. what the robot’s skin is made fromD. how different it is from other robots3. What can Apollo do with built-in sensors?A. Wave at humans.B. Walk stably.C. Know human faces.D. Draw attention.4. In which situation can bionic robots help you now?A. When you want someone to repair your car.B. When you want someone to travel with you.C. When you don’t want to do housework.D. When you want to know the floor information of a building.5. What do people worry about with human-like robots?A. Users may fall in love with the robots.B. Human-like robots look scary.C. The robots’ weight may cause problems.D. The robots may get out of control.【答案】BABDC【解析】本文介绍人形机器人的一些应用和特点。

时事热点冲刺2022年高考英语阅读理解专题03 垃圾分类Passage 1（2021·重庆高二期末）You’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part of V on Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, V on Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” V on Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all at once.V on Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint. 1．What are V on Wong’s artworks intended for?A．Beautifying the city he lives in. B．Introducing eco-friendly products.C．Drawing public attention to plastic waste. D．Reducing garbage on the beach.2．Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?A．To show the difficulty of their recycling.B．To explain why they are useful.C．To voice his views on modern art.D．To find a substitute for them.3．What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?A．Calming. B．Disturbing.C．Refreshing. D．Challenging.4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Artists’ Opinions on Plastic SafetyB．Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC．Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD．Ocean Plastics Transformed into Sculptures【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

Green shoots绿色崛起Mar 19th 2009 | HONG KONGFrom The Economist print editionNo matter how bad things get, people still need to eatAT A time when much of the global economy is falling apart and demand both for consumer goods and the firms that make and finance them is collapsing, the notoriously cyclical world of agriculture is holding up remarkably well. Prices for grains and meat are down from the peaks of mid-2008, but are 30-50% above their averages over the past decade. There is reason to believe that this strength is more than just another of the many bubbles that have recently inflated, only to pop.Higher prices are hardly a universal blessing: they are good for farmers, many of whom are poor, but bad for consumers. Some of the increase can be blamed on the shift of crops from food to fuel, prompted by wildly inefficient subsidies. But high prices are also a sign of progress because their single largest cause is the steady increase in demand from poorer countries, as people there eat more food—especially more protein. More people are better nourished thanks to a bit more grain, a lot more meat, and much more milk.China’s role has been profound, reflecting its enormous economic progress and huge population. In the past decade, says Carlo Caiani of Caiani & Company, an investment-advisory firm based in Melbourne, the consumption of milk has grown seven-fold, and that of olive oil six-fold. China is consuming twice as much vegetable oil (instead of less healthy pork fat), 60% more poultry, 30% more beef and 25% more wheat, and these are merely the obvious foods. Scores of niches have expanded dramatically: people are drinking four times as much wine, for example.And yet even with all this growth, people in China still, on average, consume only one-third as much milk and meat as people in wealthy countries such as Australia, America and Britain. The gap is even larger with India, which is also growing fast. Overall, protein intake in Europe and America is unlikely to expand much, but a combination of rising incomes and population in developing countries could increase demand by more than 5% annually for years to come. “Once people are accustomed to eating more protein, they won’t take it out of their diet,” says Mr Caiani.Expanding supply at the same rate will be difficult, because the amount of arable land under cultivation is growing by only a fraction of a percentage point each year. In China and India many of the most fertile areas are the ones being developed for roads and factories. That means existing land is becoming more valuable, and must become more productive.The consequences stretch from one end of the food chain to the other, as higher food prices prompt a response. BASF, one of the world’s largest producers of agrochemicals, saw 9% growth last year in agricultural sales, including 16% growth in Asia. It expects the industry to grow by 17% this year, which has begun well, the global economic tumult notwithstanding.Its competitors are also prospering. The share prices of Agrium, CF Industries, Bunge and Syngenta spiked last year along with food prices, then tumbled (along with the shares of nearly every other company), but then stabilised, even as the rest of the stockmarket continued to tank.Monsanto, which a decade ago had been praised and then trashed for selling highly efficient genetically modified seeds, has seen its popularity restored for exactly the same reason. After years of strong growth, and with the prospect of more to come, its shares are valued at 20 times trailing earnings, nearly double the market average.Interest in the industry is still growing. A conference for fund managers tied to agriculture held annually in Sydney by Austock, an Australian broker, attracted a few dozen contrarian souls three years ago. This year’s event, wh ich began on March 16th, had to be restricted to several hundred ticket-holders, with many others turned away. Deals are also being done. On March 13th Terra Firma, a private-equity firm based in London, announced it would buy 90% of Consolidated Pastoral Company, the vast Australian cattle holdings of the Packer family, which encompass 5m hectares (12m acres) of land.In February Nufarm, an Australian agrochemical maker, won approval for its acquisition of AH Marks, one of Britain’s oldest chemical compani es, which has a valuable portfolio of herbicides. Nufarm itself only barely avoided being acquired in 2007 in a joint bid by an American private-equity firm and a Chinese state-owned company. Shares of Mosaic, a maker of fertiliser, have been swept by one acquisition rumour after another. Last year COFCO, China’s state-controlled food conglomerate, bought 5% of Smithfield, the world’s largest pork producer. Al Qudra, an Abu Dhabi-based investment company, said it had bought big tracts of farmland in Morocco and Algeria, and was closing in on purchases in Pakistan, Syria, Vietnam, Thailand, Sudan and India.In November China Agri-Industries, a subsidiary of COFCO, established a partnership with Wilmar, the world’s largest trader in palm oil. Landkom, listed on London’s AIM market, and Black Earth Farming, listed in Stockholm, have each made big investments in farming in Ukraine. And reports are circulating in China about local investors buying 50,000 hectares of farmland in Argentina, and considering other investments in Argentina and Brazil.Even China is finally opening up to private agricultural investment, in part because new laws allow farmers to lease land, thus making possible economies of scale. Asian Bamboo, a company that is listed in Frankfurt, leases 27,000 hectares in Fujian province. It announced profits for 2008 of (原文此处有一欧元符号)￡21m ($30.4m) on sales of (原文此处有一欧元符号)￡44m, reflecting how, at least for the moment, agriculture can be an extraordinarily high-margin business.There are limits to what can be done, however. By far the most ambitious of all the land deals in the past year was Daewoo Logistics’ contract with the government of Madagascar to lease 1.3m hectares, almost half the country’s arable land, to produce corn for Daewoo’s home country, South Korea. But after riots and a coup in Madagascar, the deal is off. These tensions are not unique. In response to local concerns about the loss of critical food supplies, several governments have imposed taxes or other restrictions on exports: on a key ingredient of fertiliser in China, on grain in Argentina, on rice in India. That sort of meddling undermines some investments and businesses. But in a strong market, it makes the businesses that can operate freely all the more lucrative and valuable.。

However, when females enter the workplace, they may find things are still difficult. Of the 145 countries and regions surveyed in a WEF (世界经济论坛) report, 97 have more female students thanmale students in universities. But only four of those countries and regions have a majority (多数) of female leaders in the workplace. “Women tend to (往往会) be viewed on the basis of their performance, while men are often promoted (升职) for their potential (潜力),” The Washington Post wrote.Old thinking about men and women is still influencing women’s careers, according to Saadia Zahidi, a WEF official. For example, many people believe boys are better at science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). And even today, women make up only a third of the students in these fields worldwide. Girls and women need to master the skills and training that are needed for the jobs of tomorrow, especially in the STEM fields, said Zahidi.The gender gap (性别差距) in the workplace is not just about less pay for women. It’s also about women making sure their pay shows their value. Actress Sandra Bullock once said, “Once we start changing how we think about women, the pay gap will take care of itself.”( )1.

They joked that every time they took out their garbage, the staff (工作人员) standing by the bins would ask, “(A)你是哪种垃圾？”Starting on May 1, Beijing joined many Chinese cities by introducing a new garbage-sorting policy, People’s Daily reported. Residents should sort their garbage into four groups: kitchen, recyclable, hazardous (有害的) and other waste.These groups are represented (代表) by four different colors of trash bins – green, blue, red and gray. （B）Those who fail to sort their trash correctly may face fines of up to 200 yuan.The way Beijing sorts its trash sounds different from cities like Shanghai and Qingdao. These cities use four different groups: wet, recyclable, harmful and dry. Although their names are different, the groups are actually the same. Wet garbage in Shanghai is, in fact, kitchen garage. And dry garbage is the same as other waste.(C) _______(help) residents sort their trash correctly, the Beijing government is offering online guidelines. If people don’t know how to throw away garbage, they can search for it on the WeChat account Guanchenglishi (管城理市) to find out. Bysearching a key word or taking a photo, people can immediately find out which group their waste belongs in.1.回答问题：When did Shanghai introduce a new garbage-sorting policy?__________________________________________________________________ 2.将A处划线句子译成英语。

Can milk make you happy?Can fish make you smart?Picture yourself lying in bed, your mind in turmoil. You toss and turn, but sleep won't come. Maybe a bedtime snack would help. What should you choose? If you think first of toaster waffles or popcorn, some experts would say you're on the right track. Foods high in complex carbohydrates---such as cereals, potatoes, pasta, crackers, or rice cakes---make many people relaxed and drowsy.Missed that one? Try again. Suppose the weather's rotten, you forgot your homework, and your best friend's mad at you. What's good medicine when you're feeling low? A sugary cola or candy may give you a quick lift, but you'll crash just as quickly. Better choices may be Brazil nuts (for selenium), skim milk (for calcium), or a spinach salad (for folic acid). In research studies, all three of those nutrients have been shown to lift spirits and battle the blues.Try one more. You have a math test coming up in the afternoon. You want to be sharp, but you usually feel sleepy after lunch. Is your best choice an energy fix of fries and a shake or a broiled chicken breast and low-fat yogurt? If you pick the high-fat fries and shake, you may feel sluggish and blow that test. The protein-rich chicken and yogurt are better choices. Protein foods energize, some experts say.How does food affect mood and mind? The answer may lie in the chemistry of the brain and nervous system. Molecules called neurotransmitters are chemical messengers. They carry a nerve impulse across the gap between nerve cells. The release of neurotransmitter molecules from one neuron and their attachment to receptor sites on another keep a nerve impulse moving.Nerve impulses carry messages from the environment to the brain, for example, the pain you feel when you stub your toe. They also carry messages in the other direction, from the brain to the muscles. That's why you back away from the obstacle that initiated the pain signal and exclaim, "Ouch!""Many neurotransmitters are built from the foods we eat," says neuroscientist Eric Chudler of the University of Washington. Too little or too much of a particular nutrient in the diet can affect their production, Chudler says. For example, tryptophan from foods such as yogurt, milk, bananas, and eggs is required for the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Phenylalanine from beets, almonds, eggs, meat, and grains goes into making the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dozens of neurotransmitters are known; hundreds may exist. Their effects depend on their amounts and where they work in the brain. The neurotransmitter serotonin, for example, is thought to produce feelings of calmness, relaxation, and contentment. Drugs that prevent its reuptake (into the neuron that released it) are prescribed to treat depression. In at least some healthy, non-depressed people, carbohydrate foods seem to enhance serotonin production and produce similar effects. "It is the balance between different neurotransmitters that helps regulate mood," Chudler says.Proper nutrition may also enhance brainpower. Chorine is a substance similar to the B vitamins. It's found in egg yolks, whole wheat, peanuts, milk, green peas, liver, beans, seafood, and soybeans. The brain uses it to make the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. To test the effects of chorine on memory and learning, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave memory tests to college students before increasing the amount of chorine in their subjects’ diets. Later, they retested. On the average, memories were better, and the students learned a list of unrelated words more easily.核心词汇picture v. 想象，设想; (常后接介词as) ，相当于imagineturmoil n. 骚动，混乱（disorder=mess）snack n. 小吃，零食；on the right track(在合适或正确的小路或轨道上)，比喻为：做某事情是对的。

2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科普新知01（2023上·浙江·九年级期中）Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of uses in cooking for it is endless. People have used onions to add flavor (味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions’ great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals (化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease.No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eves and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes.Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions:●Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes.●Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes.●Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes.If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don’t worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion’s chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears “happy tears”.1．Why can onions help you fight off sickness?A．Because they have different colors.B．Because they have many uses in cooking.C．Because they have great taste.D．Because they have special chemicals.2．Why do your eyes make tears when you cut onions?A．To improve physical condition.B．To prevent common diseases.C．To wash away irritating chemicals.D．To cause terrible pain.3．What can you do to stop crying according to the text?①Cut the onion under running water.②Use a fan to blow air over the onion while cutting.③Cover the onion with a piece of cloth as you cut it.④Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting.A．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．②③④4．In which section of a magazine can you probably read the text?A．Life and Health.B．Language and Culture.C．Business World.D．National News.02（2022上·四川遂宁·九年级统考期末）It’s said that China uses 45 billion pairs of chopsticks a year. Here’ssome information about chopstick’s history.Chopsticks have a long history of more than 3,000 years in China. The recorded history of chopsticks is as early as the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC). According to an article about Chinese history, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty (商朝) used chopsticks made of ivory.Legends (传说) about how chopsticks were invented▲ One is about Jiang Ziya. He was told by a bird to use bamboo sticks to pick up meat. When smoke came from bamboo sticks, he found out that his wife wanted to use poisonous (有毒的) food to kill him.▲ Another is about Da Ji. She used to please Emperor Zhou by picking up hot meat with hair sticks.▲ The third one is about Da Yu. He invented wooden chopsticks to pick up hot food to save time over the meal while preparing for flood control work (控制洪水).Materials of chopsticks●Bamboo has been the most popular material used for chopsticks because it is not expensive, easy-to-get, resistant (有抵抗力的) to heat, and has no terrible odor or taste.●Wood: Cedar, sandal wood, teak and pine have also been used.●Jade (玉、翡翠) and metal: In the past, the wealthy people had chopsticks made of jade. People also used some metals such as gold and silver to make chopsticks.● Porcelain (瓷器) and plastic: These two materials are used in modern times because of the development of technology.5．How many legends are mentioned (被提到) in the passage?A．Three.B．Four.C．Five.D．Six.6．Who wanted to kill Jiang Ziya according to the passage ?A．Da Ji.B．Da Yu.C．The emperor.D．His wife.7．What does the underlined word “odor” probably mean in Chinese ?A．硬度B．触觉C．气味D．视觉8．Which of the following is NOT the reason why bamboo is used to make chopsticks?A．Bamboo is resistant to heat.B．Bamboo grows fast everywhere.C．Bamboo is not expensive to get.D．Bamboo doesn’t taste terrible.9．What’s the purpose of the passage?A．To tell us some legends of using chopsticks.B．To explain why chopsticks are popular.C．To tell us how to use chopsticks to eat meals.D．To tell us some information about chopsticks.03（2022上·安徽六安·九年级统考期末）We all know the strange feeling of watching the time change on a clock. You never see it change because the hands move so slowly. But of course, the time is changing all the time.Human faces, like clock faces, are also changing. And like clocks, the changes take place too slowly to be noticed. Over many thousands of years, though, huge changes are possible. For example, the human brain tripled (三倍) in size and began to think more. Our faces became flatter (平坦的).If our heads became larger in the past, how will things change in the future? Unlike the changes of a clock face, the changes in human faces are very difficult to predict (预测). One of the main reasons for this is the way in which we can now control parts of nature. Hundreds of thousands of years ago, all changes were natural, but now we can actively choose ways for our own evolution (进化).Just a few hundred years ago, most humans were working in the fields, whereas nowadays more and more people receive education. These are just predictions, and no one can be sure how human beings will become in the future. But with such huge changes in our environment, it seems likely that we will look very different in the future. 10．The changes of human are hardly noticed because ________.A．human faces never change B．the human brain becomes biggerC．the changes take place too slowly D．we never think about the changes11．The third paragraph tells us ________.A．human faces can’t be controlled by usB．human faces used to be changed by natureC．it is easy to predict the changes in human changesD．human can’t change the size of the brain in the future12．From the last paragraph, we can learn that ________.A．the predictions will surely be true B．people in the past liked to be educatedC．future humans must have larger heads D．humans will not look the same as today04（2022上·浙江宁波·九年级统考期末）In the story Snow White, the jealous queen decides to get rid of Snow White once and for all with an apple dipped in deadly poison (毒药). Thanks to some helpful dwarfs and a handsome prince, Snow White recovers (恢复). But the queen didn’t need to go to all that trouble. In fact, apples, along with many common fruits we eat are already poisonous! But don’t worry—it won’t harm you. It’s only the seeds you need to avoid.Apple trees belong to a plant family called Prunus (蔷薇科树). This group also includes peaches, cherries and so on. The seeds and pits (果核) of all these fruits contain a chemical called amygdalin (苦杏仁苷). Inside an animal’s stomach, amygdalin turns into a strong poison called cyanide (氰化物). And cyanide can make people and animals very sick, or even kill them.Still, don’t worry if you accidentally swallow a few apple seeds. Each seed has only a very tiny amount of poison. You’d have to eat a large bowlful of seeds to feel any effect. And you’d need to chew them well—the hard, shiny shells of apple seeds keep the poison locked inside. Unchewed seeds usually pass right through and come out whole in your poop (粪便). But cows and other animals often chew up seeds along with the fruit, so they can get sick from eating apples and plums that fall to the ground.Why would a tree make poisoned seeds? To stop animals from nibbling on them! Amygdalin tastes terrible. It’salso found in leaves and other parts of fruit trees. If a deer or cow chews on apple leaves, it gets a nasty taste and an upset stomach. Animals soon learn to leave those trees alone. Thanks, amygdalin!13．Why does the writer mention the story of Snow White in the first paragraph?A．To amuse the readers.B．To provide an example.C．To express an opinion.D．To lead in to the topic.14．According to the passage, amygdalin is contained in ______.A．A B．B C．C D．D15．What does the underlined word “nibble” mean in paragraph four?A．pollute B．touch C．break D．eat16．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?A．A tree makes poisoned seeds to protect itself.B．There’s tiny amount of poison in each apple seed.C．It’s not harmful for animals to chew up seeds with fruit.D．It’s just OK to swallow several seeds without chewing up.05（2023上·浙江温州·九年级校考竞赛）How do people think differently? This has always been unusual. To search an answer, a scientist named J. P. Guilford started a famous study of creativity in the 1970s, known as the nine-dot puzzle (九点谜题). He asked the participants (参与者) to connect all nine dots using only four straight lines, without lifting their pencils from the page.All the participants looked for solutions within the square they imagined. Only 20 percent managed to break out of the square and continue their lines in the white space around the dots, while the rest of them were blinded by the boundaries (边界) of the square.The results of Guilford’s study led him to a conclusion: creativity needs you to go outside the box. The idea was widely spread soon. Overnight, it seemed that creativity experts everywhere were teaching managers how to think outside the box. The idea was so popular that no one thought of checking the facts. No one, that is, before two different research teams— Clarke Burmham with Kenneth Davis, and Joseph Alba with Robert Weisberg—did another experiment.To make sure that Guilford’s study is correct, both teams divided participants into two groups. The first group was given the same instructions as the participants in Guilford’s experiment. The second group was told to draw the lines outside the imagined box. Guess what? Only a little more than 20 percent solved the puzzle, which is no big difference from the result of Guilford’s experiment.Let’s look a little more closely at the surprising result. Solving this problem requires people to think outside the box. However, direct and clear instructions to “think outside the box” do not help participants improve their performance. The widely spread idea that out-of-the-box thinking makes people more creative can, in some way, be dangerous. After all, with one simple but brilliant experiment, researchers had proved that the connection between thinking outside the box and creativity was a misunderstanding.17．The nine-dot puzzle study is mainly focused on ________.A．how people do things in real life B．what people see in the experimentC．how people think in different ways D．what knowledge people have learned18．Why did the two research teams do the following experiment?A．To discover the main idea of Guiford’s study.B．To show different views against Guiford’s study.C．To collect supporting details for Guiford’s study.D．To double-check the correctness of Guiford’s study. 19．From the passage, we can learn that _________.A．boundaries sometimes make people think less creativelyB．clear instructions influence how people solve problemsC．few people performed better with the clear instructionsD．the methods of nine-dot puzzle study need to be improved20．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Puzzle Solving: A Key To Creativity B．Nine-Dot Puzzle: A Magic TestC．Thinking Outside the Box: A Misleading Idea D．Creative Thinking: An Unusual Topic06（2023上·浙江温州·九年级校联考阶段练习）①Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.②Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.③Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.④Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don’t make nests. But they get into other birds’ nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.⑤Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losingchimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.⑥Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.⑦As children, many of us learn the saying “You can’t fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you can’t trust her, either.21．A plover protects its young from a predator by ________.A．getting closer to its young B．driving away the adult predatorC．leaving its young in another nest D．pretending to have a wound22．By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky” (Paragraph⑤), the author means ________.A．chimps are always honest B．chimps are sometimes dishonestC．chimps are ready to fight others D．chimps can be selfish23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner’s hand.C．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.D．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.24．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A．How does honesty help animals survive?B．Do animals lie?C．Does Mother Nature fool animals?D．How do animals learn to lie?07（2022上·山东烟台·九年级统考期末）These days, wearing a face mask (口罩) is a common thing to do, and it helps prevent diseases during COVID-19. However, that also means single-use face masks, gloves, and other PPE are the newest forms of rubbish on city streets, beaches, and in the ocean.This is bad for all, and there are many reasons. And one of the worst ones is that the littered face masks can seriously hurt animals. Ashley Fruno, a member of an animal rights group said, “Face masks aren’t going away soon.” So when we throw them away, they can be bad for the environment and the animals that live on the same planet as us.Monkeys have been found biting the straps (带子) of used masks in the hills outside Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur. This may make them lose their breath or even die. In Britain, a seabird’s legs have been found tangled (缠住) in the straps of a mask for up to a week. It was a painful experience for the seabird.It’s hard to believe that face masks that once saved people’s lives are now killing wild animals. A large number of face masks are moving to the living places of animals. If you wear a single-use face mask, make sure of throwing it away properly. Never litter it on the ground, or throw it away outside, as the wind could blow it away.Please don’t let the masks become a night-mare for wildlife. Thank you for doing your part to keep all animals safe!25．Which of the following belongs to the newest forms of rubbish according to the passage?①single-use face masks ②single-use gloves③single-use plastics ④single-use cupsA．①③B．①④C．②③D．①②26．What does the underlined sentence mean?A．People will stop wearing face masks in recent years.B．Face masks can be blown to a far place in a short time.C．Face masks can be made into other things soon.D．It takes a long time for face masks to disappear.27．How does the writer show the harm of littered face masks on animals?A．By giving reasons.B．By listing numbers.C．By giving examples.D．By asking questions.28．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A．Animals like to play with masks.B．Face masks are only bad for animals.C．Face masks can be buried under the ground.D．Whether face masks are good or not depends on how people deal with them.29．Where can we most probably read this passage?A．In a storybook.B．In a travel guide.C．In a sports newspaper.D．In an environmental magazine.08（2022上·安徽六安·九年级统考期末）Can plants talk?

01（2022秋·江苏宿迁·九年级统考期中）Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9,500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park, but there’s a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a mode m city have endless black surfaces(表面) with no life or water. Perhaps that’s why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heat-island effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage system(排水系统). ________ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such as roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energysavings. And wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city’s noise and traffic, whether you’re at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?1．With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________.A．what a green roof is like B．how wildlife is protectedC．what to do with a spare roof D．how to organize a good park2．The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”.A．raise B．check C．control D．record3．Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A．A common roof is noisy.B．A green roof is alive.C．A green roof stops pollution.D．A common roof increases the cost.4．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．introduce the change of green roofs B．solve the problems with green roofsC．show the amazing beauty of green roofs D．describe the advantages(优点) of green roofs02（2023·辽宁朝阳·统考中考真题）Chinese researchers reached the top of Qomolangma on May 4, 2022. They set up the world’s highest automatic(自动的) weather station at an altitude(海拔) of 8,830 meters. This helps them to study the influences of climate change on the environment.It is the highest automatic weather station in the world now. It has taken the place of the station sitting at an altitude of 8,430 meters on the south side of the mountain, which is the second highest now. This allows Chinese scientists to directly collect data(数据) for the first time from the top of the world’s highest mountain.Collecting and studying data from Qomolangma is not easy. But the data will give valuable information about the condition of local glaciers(冰川) and mountain snow. It will also help scientists study and understand the global monsoon(季风) system, so experts can make proper decisions about climate change.Yao Tandong, a famous expert, said Chinese scientists had set up eight weather stations from 5,200 to 8,830 meters above sea level. Half of the stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters. “Along with strong government support and hard work by scientists, China has become a global front-runner in fields such as climate change.” Yao said.5．What is the altitude of the highest automatic weather station?A．5,200 meters.B．7,000 meters.C．8,430 meters.D．8,830 meters.6．What does the underlined word “It” refer to(指代) in Paragraph 3?A．Reaching the top of Qomolangma.B．The influences of climate change.C．The data from Qomolangma.D．The highest automatic weather station.7．How many weather stations were set up at an altitude higher than 7,000 meters?A．Two.B．Four.C．Six.D．Eight.8．Which statement(陈述) is NOT right according to the passage?A．Chinese scientists can directly collect data from the top of Qomolangma now.B．It is hard to collect and study data from Qomolangma.C．The second highest weather station is on the north side of the mountain.D．China has made great achievements in fields such as climate change.9．In which part of a newspaper can we find the passage?A．Science.B．Sports.C．Travel.D．Health.03（2022秋·山东济宁·九年级统考期末）Music plays an important role in the lives of people all over the world. That is why many wonder what influences their tastes in music. Could your music list show something about your personality?One study by Heriot-Walt University offered a possible answer by an experiment. Here are the results it found: Pop Music. Fans of top 40 pop hits are likely to be outgoing and honest. While pop music lovers are hard-working and have high self-esteem(自尊), researchers suggest that they may be less creative and easy to get worried.Rap or Hip-Hop Music. People usually believe that rap lovers are more aggressive(好争斗的), but researchers have found no such connection. They say rap fans are likely to have high self-esteem and are usually outgoing.Rock or Heavy Metal Music.

If so, you’ve experienced “hangry (饿怒)” —some people get angry easily as they are hungry. The reason for this lies in what happens inside your body when it needs food.Everything you eat would be changed into different kinds of nutrients (营养物质) in your body. These nutrients would enter your blood and be passed to every part of your body and be used for creating energy. As time passes after your last meal, these nutrients in your blood drop. Also, your blood glucose (血糖) drops. Unlike other parts in your body, your brain totally depends on blood glucose to do its job. You’ve probably already noticed that simple things can become difficult when you are hungry and your blood glucose levels drop. You may find it hard to pay attention. For example, you may make silly mistakes in your study and homework. You might also have noticed that you can’t even speak clearly when you’re too hungry.Another thing that happens when you’re hungry is behaving impolitely and can’t control yourself, such as snapping at others. In that case, even though you may already try your best to avoid conflict (冲突) with important friends, you may still be too angry to control yourself when you are staying with the people you are most relaxed with. That’s why you may find yourself being impatient with your parents or friends.So what should we do to avoid being hangry? The easiest way is to eat something before you get too hungry. The best choice is to have some nutrient - rich and natural foods that help deal with hunger quickly and can be keptin our body as long as possible, but not fast food. The final way is to suggest that difficult situations should be dealt with after a meal, not before.17．When does “hangry” usually happen?A．When the body needs food.B．When nutrients enter your body.C．When the blood glucose levels drop.D．When it’s hard for you to pay attention.18．What does the underlined words “snapping at” mean in Chinese?A．称赞B．呵斥C．嘲笑D．帮助19．Which paragraphs tell the influence of being hangry?A．①②B．②③C．③④D．④⑤20．Which is one of the ways to deal with hunger?A．Eat something after you get too hungry.B．Stay with people you are most relaxed with.C．Deal with difficult situations after meals.D．Eat a little junk food before you are hungry.21．Who is the text written for?A．Doctors.B．Teachers.C．Parent.D．Students.（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级统考期中）Have you ever thought about why you are the way you are? And what does your personality（性格）connect with? Recent research has showed that the position（位置）in which we are born in our family plays a very important role in forming personality.The eldest childBeing the only child, the eldest enjoys all their parents’ attention. However, new parents usually expect to see their child do well. And the eldest child tries to meet these expectations. As a result, the eldest children are usually polite and traditional. The problems come with the birth of another child. Suddenly the attention they’re used to receiving becomes weaker. Then, they don’t feel safe and will try to do all they can to make their parents happy.The second childThe second child has no experience of life without a brother or sister, so they never know how their brothers orsisters feel when they suddenly have to share the attention. The second children are often more outgoing and always looking for ways to get attention. One of the most common ways to achieve this is by making people laugh and the second children are often the jokers of the family. Again, problems can appear when another baby arrives. Suddenly, the second child becomes the middle child and may lose a clear sense（意识）of where they are.The third childWith the birth of their third baby, parents will often feel this is their last chance to bring up a child. This means the youngest child, more often than not, is spoilt（溺爱）with attention and love. This can lead them to be very self-centered, believing that the world moves around them. They are always treated as the “baby” of the family so they don’t do as well as they could do. They like doing things in unexpected ways, so they are also likely to be creative. 22．What influences people’s personality according to the text?A．Birth place.B．Birth weight.C．Birth order.23．What does the underlined word “they” refer to in the text?A．The eldest children.B．The second children.C．The parents.24．Compared to the first child, the second child is _________ according to the text.A．more polite and traditionalB．more humorous and outgoingC．more creative and confident25．According to the text, if Tom thinks mainly about himself and always has new ideas, he might be _________.A．the eldest child B．the second child C．the third child07（2022秋·山东菏泽·九年级统考期中）It is said that tea can improve creative power(力量) of the literary(文学的) artists in ancient China.According to Lu Yu’s Cha Jing, tea-drinking in China can be traced back(追溯) to the Zhou Dynasty—tea was discovered by Shen Nong and became popular as a drink in the State of Lu because of Zhou Gong.Tea-drinking in China has a long history of four thousand years.
