导语一般位于文章的首段。

背景交待一个事实的起因。

主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述，这一部分命题往往最多，因此，阅读时，要把这部分作为重点。

结尾往往也是中心思想的概括，并与导语相呼应，命题者常常在此设计一道推理判断题。

3.在进行推理判断时，一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据，同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识。

NO1.---未来的汽车On a sunny day last January, people got together at a parking lot in Las Vegas to see small vehicles that looked more like colorful eggs than ordinary cars. These vehicles were electric, ran on two wheels instead of four and held only two passengers. Thanks to their tiny size, six of the vehicles would fit in a parking spot. If the idea of parking such a small car makes you nervous, don’t worry: these cars can park themselves. And they can return to their owners when controlled by a button on a cellphone.The vehicle is called the EN-V(Electric Networked-Vehicle). It is built by General Motors, or GM, arid it points to what future vehicles might be like. It is designed to be energy-saving, solve environmental problems and help ease traffic jams, parking and safety concerns. The automaker says its next concept car^概念车)will help drivers get whatever they want. According to GM, the company has also designed an electric vehicle named Lean Machine. However, it is a small three-wheeler and this single-seater vehicle looks like a motorcycle. One day, such small, electric vehicles might safely carry people around，especially in crowded cities.Scientists and engineers are finding new ways to make cars safer, smarter and more efficient, oruse less energy. New cars may help you keep track of your health by reminding you to take medicine. If it’s elec tric, your car may send you a message reminding you to recharge it. Cars will talk to other cars, your computer, your phone and your iPa d. They’ll help drivers s ave energy, watch out for other drivers and avoid walkers on the streets.This is the future of vehicles: safer, smarter and more energy-saving. Besides, they might even drive themselves down the highway or through a city. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.1. Why did people get together at a parking lot?A.They wanted to see some colorful eggs.B.They came to see an unusual parking lot.C.They came to watch a kind of new vehicle.D.They were invited to drive some smart vehicles.2. According to Paragraph 3, future cars can do all of the following things EXCEPTA.running both on land and in waterB.helping keep track of your healthC.talking to other cars and your phoneD.saving energy and avoiding passers-by3.

So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition（眼睛识另ij） programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint （指纹）.But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

初三阅读理解科普文1.文章题材：最新科技难易度：难建议时间：7 分钟Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well, not all of them.Scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from deal flies, rotten apples, or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner!Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don’t have electrical sockets (插座). So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: build robots that get their energy just like animals do –- by hunting and eating food from their environment.The robots digest their food in a series of stomach—like devices called microbial (微生物) fuel cells that are full of bacterial!The bacteria do the real eating, munching dead flies or other food fed into the fuel cells. As the bacteria eat up the food, they release electrons(电子)，Electrons are charged particles(微粒) that flow to form electricity.One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! It seems that after an eight—fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn’t get rid of the leftover“waste”. Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system.Maybe rest rooms in the future will have singns for bous, girls, and robots.

The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes.

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. Although sometimes rock or heavy metal music seems aggressive, researchers found that fans of this style of music are usually quite gentle. They can be creative, but are often shy and have low self-esteem.Classical Music. Classical music lovers are typically shyer but also feel comfortable with themselves and the world around them. They are creative and have a good sense of self-esteem.Though personality alone does not explain musical preferences, this experiment helps you know yourself and others better.10．What’s the purpose of the study?A．To know what kind of music people like most.B．To tell people the importance of listening to music.C．To show people which kind of music they should listen to.D．To test the relationship between a person’s personality and his or her music list.11．How might a person’s personality be if he or she is a fan of pop music?A．Quiet and shy.B．Serious and strict.C．Friendly and polite.D．Outgoing and honest.12．What kind of music does Mrs. Green like listening to if she feels relaxed about the world around her?A．Pop music.B．Rock music.C．Classical music.D．Rap music.13．What’s the best title for the text?A．Music and hobby B．Music and personalityC．Fans and music D．Researchers and music04（2022秋·湖北襄阳·九年级统考期中）My blood type (血型) is AB, which only 7 percent of Chinese have. I always thought it made me special, even though I had no real reason to believe that. But in Japan, blood type is used to decide one’s personality (性格).There are four main blood groups: O, A, B and AB．Now let’s see what your blood type says about your personality.Type OYou are popular and always seem to be the center of interest.

Usually you like to help others. Suitable jobs: teacher, social worker…We all like to know things about ourselves, and blood type is just another fun way to understand why we do some things. Just have fun with it.14．Blood type is used to decide one’s personality in ________.A．Japan B．the USA C．the UK D．India15．A reporter would be a good job for ________ people.A．type O B．type AB C．type A D．type B16．What does the writer think of that blood type is used to decide one’s personality?A．It’s really true.B．Just have fun with it.C．Maybe we can take some advice to find a job.D．Believe it or not, it depends on yourself.05（2022秋·河南洛阳·九年级统考期中）Have you ever been angry at someone when you were hungry? 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. As the legend(传说) has it, Shen Nong tasted hundreds of wild plants in order to prevent people from eating the poisonous plants. It is said that he was once poisoned but was saved by eating some leaves of an evergreen(常青的) plant with white flowers. Later, people calledthe leaves that saved his life “cha”.In modern times, people still keep tea-drinking as one of their everyday activities. According to the study, tea can also influence some modern illnesses. To those who have to work with computers for a long time, drinking tea can help them to recreate a new balance(平衡) in their bodies.

·Warm-upHave you ever seen the movie The Lion King? Do you know how lions live in the wild in reality?·Big question to think about while you readHow does the rearing of lion cubs go according to the text?protective of their mates while they are breeding. At the end of the approximately 105-day gestation period, the lioness leaves the pride to go to a sheltered, isolated area to give birth to its litter of two to five cubs. Cubs are born blind. They weigh 1.5 to 2 kilograms, and they have a soft, woolly grayish-yellow-brown coat. The lioness rarely leaves her cubs. When she does, either to hunt or drink, she risks losing them to predators, such as cheetahs, leopards, jackals, or hyenas.At first, the cubs will stay close to their mother as they explore their surroundings. Male cub mortality is high because males are more active and more likely to leave their protected shelter.Cubs accompany their mother on hunting expeditions when they are three to four months old.Cubs will not be able to kill their own prey until they are about two years old. Through early play experiences, the cubs learn how to hunt, crash, leap, and kill their prey.Adolescent males tend to remain near the pride's territory at first and then go off on their own. They will try and join another pride. Male lions display excellent teamwork when threatened by another male wanting to dominate the pride. The typical duration for which a strong group of males is able to defend their pride is two to three years, during which time they father all of the offspring.

But less widely reported news about the Chinese company, best known for its telecoms ・networking gear, may prove more important.“We will honour our commitment to transparency and openness,” declared Cathy Meng, the firm's chief financial officer, at a press conf ere nee. Huawei is privately held, so has no obligation to disclose its finances・ But its efforts to expand have led to grumbles in Europe about subsidies and a backlash in America against its opacity. A congressional committee claimed last October, on flimsy evidenee, that its lack of transparency and ties to the Chinese army make it a security threat to America.On the contrary, says John Suffolk, Huawei's cyber・security tsar who used to be chief information officer for Britain's government: his firm is itself the target of “tens of thousands of cyber attacks a week”. And Eric Anderson, of America's National Intelligenee University, concludes in a new book, u Si no phobia: The Huawei Story", that the firm is a victim of Chibashing.Ms Meng's promise of openness is important because she is not just the company's chief financial officer. Her father is Ren Zhengfei, its secretive founder. She said revenues rose to 220 billion yuan ($35 billion) in 2012, an 8% rise, while profits surged by a third. Fine, but did not Huawei say in early 2012 that it expected revenues to rise by 20%? No clear answers are offered. It seems the firm's push into the market for company networks has got bogged down.Ms Meng also gave a few details about the company's odd ownership structure. Mr Ren holds a mere 1.4% stake, she claimed, and most of the rest is held by the firm's employees. But will employees be allowed to trade those shares freely? The firm is ostensibly run by several co-chief executives, but can they overrule Mr Ren? How exactly was the firm's original board of directors chosen?Ms Meng says only that “in the future, we will also disclose other details, such as our board members5shareholdings.” Huawei is right to open up, but such partial disclosures reveal how much further the firm has to go.• Only conncc tThe first of four reports from the AAAS's annual meeting looks at how brains are wired upFeb 23rd 2013 | BOSTON | From the print editionBIOLOGISTS used to suffer from physics envy.

2021届中考英语专题训练—科普类阅读理解+答案

2021届中考英语专题训练科普类阅读理解+答案Passage 1Thousands of years ago, people didn’t know that the Earth moved. They thought the sun really did move across the sky. The Greek god Helios was said to drive the sun across the sky with his chariot (战车). But now, the way people think has changed. Nowadays, it is the sun that drives a “chariot” around the sky.What do I mean by this? Well, quite simply, there is now a plane (or “chariot”) that is powered by the sun. It has special parts on its wings. These parts absorb power from the sun. They absorb so much power that the plane can still fly even at night. In Greek mythology (神话), Helios had to take a break at night. It seems we’re finally even more powerful than the gods themselves.This plane is called Solar Impulse. It will fly across the US in May. This is very important for the future of the world.Why is solar energy (太阳能) important? Well, other kinds of energy are known to cause problems. If you live in China, you’ve probably noticed the pollution. This is caused by burning coal and gas to make energy. The heat and chemicals created by burning these things give us power. But if we use power from the sun, we don’t have to burn anything and there will not be any pollution.Solar energy is not entirely ready yet. It needs to be improved. But the best thing about it is that, unlike coal and gas. it doesn’t run out. The Solar Impulse plane could pretty much keep flying forever. Of course, the sun’s light will eventually run out too one day, but not for another 5 billion years. That’s a pretty long flight.1. The plane Solar Impulse ______.A.c annot fly at nightB. is powered by chemicalsC.i s driven by solar energyD. was made in the US2. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that ______.A.u sing solar energy causes less pollutionB. solar energy is the best kind of energyC.c reating energy by burning things causes pollutionD. burning things will not be allowed in China3. Which is the story probably taken from?A.A science magazine.B. A history textbook.C. A Greek myth.D. A storybook.4. What’s the story mainly about?A.T he story of the Greek god Helios.B. How China makes use of energy.C.T he uses and advantages of solar energy.D. The disadvantages of burning coal and gas. Passage 2Thanks to endless photos on social media and the wealth of information on the internet, future people should have a clear picture of how we lived in the 21st century.But Martine Rothblatt, a businesswoman from the US, wants to go a step further by digitally cloning (克隆) human minds.These “mindclones” would have all of our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes, and be able to think just like us. Rothblatt imagines that mindclones will first begin as digital assistants in our mobile devices (安置), until they become walking, talking versions of us - but these are far from reality at the moment.Mindcloning technology is still very young, and it might be a long time before we can send our artificial selvesto school so we don’t have to sit through math class. However, scientists at Stanford University in the United States recently created a circuit (电路) board modeled on the human brain that could simulate 1 million neurons (神经元) and billions of connections in the brain.Eventually, Rothblatt sees mindclones having their own rights as people, and even falling in love and getting married.“Let’s say [the ex Apple CEO] Steve Jobs meets another mindclone. They fall in love. Mindclones are just people without bodies. Once the mindclones fall in love, they are going to get married. That’s what people do,” she said.But Rothblatt’s idea that the digital versions of ourselves would have the same rights as people is not shared by everyone. Some people have argued that the mind must be embedded (嵌入) in biology for it to be considered “life”, HuffPost reported.1. According to Rothblatt, mindclones ______.A.w ill eventually become robotsB. will be used in our mobile devicesC.w ill become reality soonD. have more rights than people2. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “artificial” in Paragraph 4?A. Useful.B. Man-made.C. Human-like.D. Different.3. What is the latest development in mindcloning technology?A. We can send our artificial selves to school.B. People can improve their studies by using mindclones.C. Steve Jobs and a mindclone will get married.D. A circuit board has been modeled after a human brain.4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?A. The writer agrees with Rothblatfs idea.B. The writer disagrees with Rothblatfs idea.C. Not everyone agrees with Rothblatt about mindclones’ rights.D. It’s pointless to discuss the rights of “mindclones”.Passage 3In your dreams, you may clearly see something or hear someone talking. But what about smells? Can you ever remember smells from your dreams?A study published in 1896 looked at different sensory experiences in dreams. It found that visual experience mainly controls one’s dreams. It takes up about 85 percent, while auditory (听觉的) experience makes up 69 percent, and smell only 7 percent.But why? Scientists from the University of Illinois, US, have a theory based on what is known about the brain.In our brain, there is a special part called the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层). It is linked to our feelings. As much as two-thirds of the cerebral cortex works in vision. So vision appears often in dreams. Auditory experience is closely tied to language, and language is processed entirely in the cerebral cortex.Smell, on the other hand, has little to do with the cerebral cortex. It connects directly to the memory and emotional systems. That is why a smell can sometimes bring back a distant memory.Another possibility is that perhaps smell is not easily affected by our imagination. For example, close your eyes and imagine your favorite dish. What do you get? It is easy to think about what it looks like. But it is not as easy to imagine its smell.The vision and auditory senses are part of a complex process inside the brain. But smell is a direct measurement of chemicals in the air. There is less imagination involved in smell. Therefore, smell might be less influenced by the brain activity that happens while dreaming. It is similar to taste and touch. That is why you don’t usually have the experience of taste and touch in your dreams.1. Which experience mainly controls one’s dreams, according to the 1896 study?A. Smell.B. Vision.C. Hearing.D. Taste and touch.2. Which of the following is TRUE about the US scientists’ brain theory?A. Less than half of the cerebral cortex works in visionB. Auditory experience is not tied to language.C. Smell has almost nothing to do with the cerebral cortex.D. It’s difficult to imagine what things in your dreams look like.3. According to paragraphs 6 and 7, its easier to imagine a dish’s______.A. look than its smellB. smell than its lookC. taste than its smellD. smell than its taste4. What is the best title for the story?A. How does the cerebral cortex work.B. Why can’t you smell in your dreams.C. What experience happens most often in dreams.D. Why can’t you remember smells from your dreams.Passage 4The ocean is home to tens of thousands of fish. You can see fish swimming freely in the water. But you may not know that fish cannot explore every part of the ocean.Recent studies have found that the deepest depth a fish can swim is 8,200 meters. This is about three quarters of the depth of the deepest part of the ocean. This is because of a chemical (化学物质) in fishes’ cells that is called trimethylamine n-oxide (TMAO).For example, if you take a ping-pong ball 10 meters underwater, the pressure turns it into a tiny piece of plastic. Most things break down after a certain depth underwater because of the high pressure.TMAO warns fish of this danger at about 8,200 meters. If fish swim deeper, the TMAO chemical stops working and starts to damage the fishes’ brain cells.Although there is life at the bottom of the sea. most fish live within the top 1,000 meters of the ocean. Even sharks, which are often described as the “kings of the ocean”, have never swum deeper than 4,000 meters, not even half the depth of the ocean.Deeper down in the ocean, the most dangerous animals are the deep-sea fish. The anglerfish is one such fish. It lives about 2,000 meters deep in the ocean. There is no sunlight at this depth. But anglerfish can produce light themselves. They use this light to find food.Below even these fish is the cusk-eel. These small fish live close to the ocean floor at a depth of 8,000 meters, far out of reach of hungry predators (猎食者).1. TMAO ______.A. is a chemical in the oceanB. is a kind of plasticC. can make things break downD. can protect fish from danger2. What does the underlined word “damage” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. 围绕B. 损害C. 生成D. 保护3. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Most fish live at the bottom of the ocean.B. Sharks can swim over half the depth of the ocean.C. Anglerfish can produce light to find food.D. Cusk-eels are easily eaten by hungry predators.4. What does the story mainly tell us?A. How fish live at the bottom of the sea.B. How deep fish can swim in the ocean.C. How TMAO works in fishes’ brain cells.D. How fish find food in the deep ocean.Passage 5Up to 45 percent of teenagers in the UK bite their nails (咬指甲), according to the BBC. Some people bite their nails not because they’re too long, but because they are driving, feeling stressed out, or just have nothing else to do.In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association identified nail biting as a symptom (症状) of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD, 强迫症). People with this disorder may wash their hands more often than usual or have to line up their shoes in a certain way.Although nail biting has some things in comm on with other symptoms of OCD, it is different from them in at least one way.“In OCD, the behavior is really unwanted,” said psychiatrist Carol Mathews. People with OCD don’t want to wash their hands over and over again. There is no fun in it. They just fear that if they aren’t busy doing something, something bad might happen to them.But nail biters enjoy this activity. “It’s rewarding. When you get the right nail, it feels good,” said Mathews.Therefore, some people argue that most nail biters do not have any kind of serious mental illness.However, it’s still a bad habit. So what can we do to stop it? Since most people bite nails as a way of relieving (缓解) stress, finding an other way to relieve that stress could be useful, suggested Rochelle Torgerson, a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in the US. For example, some people might play with a pen instead.Nail biters feel the urge (冲动) to bite if they find a small part of the nail that is imperfect, Mathews said. So always keep your nails in good shape.1. According to the BBC, _____ of UK teenagers bite their nails.A. nearly a halfB. two-thirdsC. three-quartersD. four-fifths2. Which of the following behaviors is a symptom of OCD?A.W ashing your hands before each meal.B. Cutting nails to make them short.C.L ining things up in a certain way.D. Keeping your nails in good shape.3. What does the writer try to tell us in Paragraphs 3-5?A. The common behaviors people with OCD often show.B. The difference between nail-biting and other OCD behaviors.C. People with OCD enjoy doing things over and over again.D. Nail-biters don’t have any kind of serious mental illness.4. Which suggestion for how to stop nail-biting is mentioned in the story?A. Biting your nails instead of playing with a pen.B. Give up nail-biting and work hard.C. Keep your nails in good shape.D. Find another way to release your stress.Passage 6How much do you know about Earth - the planet that we live on? Our knowledge of Earth has been developing since ancient times.However, many puzzles about Earth remain unsolved. LiveScience has published a list of the eight biggest mysteries about Earth. Let’s look at some of them.Where did water come from?When it first came into being 4.5 billion years ago, Earth was a dry rock. So where did all of our water come from? Scientists think that it might have arrived in the form of ice by an asteroid (小行星) from outer space that hit our planet. But this theory has not been confirmed (证实) because there is very little related evidence to be studied.What’s in the core (核心)?Scientists used to study meteorites as small examples of Earth, believing that Earth’s core was made of iron and nickel(镍). However, a later study in the 1950s proved this approach to be wrong because it found that Earth would be too light to provide gravity (重力) if its core contained only iron and nickel. Today, scientists continue to bring forward different theories, but none have been confirmed.How was the moon born?Scientists have found that the chemical compositions of Earth and the moon are very similar. That suggests that the moon actually came from Earth. For example, it could be a piece of Earth that separated when Earth hit another planet. It is also possible that when Earth first came into being, it spun (旋转) very fast and threw off enough molten (熔化的) rock to later form the moon.1. What’s the main idea of the story?A. How Earth came into being.B. Where Earth’s water came from.C. How the moon was formed.D. Unexplained mysteries about Earth.2. What do we know about where water may come from?A.E arth’s water may come from ice that melted 4.5 billion years ago.B.E arth’s water may come from a small planet that hit Earth.C.W e don’t know where water came from.D. There is lots of evidence that tells us where water came from.3. What does the underlined phrase “bring forward” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Check.B. Raise.C. Improve.D. Receive.4. Which is TRUE according to the story?A. Scientists used to believe Earth’s core was made of meteorites.B. A study in the 1950s proved that Earth’s core is made of iron and nickel.C. The moon and Earth are made of similar materials.D. Three possibilities of where the moon came from are mentioned.参考答案：Passage1: CBACPassage2: BBDCPassage3: BCADPassage4: DBCBPassage5: ACBDPassage6: DBBC。

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn't it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand?Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable phone is about to become available. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China's Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the "foldable future", The Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they're "the combination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device".The technology could change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space.In a keynote address, Samsung's senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen "the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow". "It's a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together." he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二极管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That's a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isn't going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry analyst told The Verge, "Few are debating if foldable or rollable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom."（1）What can be the best title for the text?A. Screen devices on the market.B. Foldable age is arriving.C. Possible powers of a tablet.D. Foldable screens are imperfect.（2）What can we learn from Justin Denison's words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The Galaxy Fold still has many problems.C. The production of foldable phones will soon increase.D. Companies need to work together to develop foldable phone.（3）What is the problem with foldable phones at the moment?A. They are easy to break.B. They are inconvenient to carry.C. They are not as useful as expected.D. They are unaffordable for most families.（4）What is the author's attitude toward the future of the foldable screen?A. Worried.B. Cautious.C. Positive.D. Unconcerned.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“可折叠手机的时代即将到来。

Robots are now being employed not just for dangerous tasks, such as discovering mines or rescuing people in disasters. They are also finding application as household helps and as nursing assistants. As increasing numbers of machines, equipped with the latest artificial intelligence, take on a growing variety of specialized and everyday tasks, the question of how people see them and behave towards them becomes ever more urgent.A team led by Sari Nijssen of Radboud University and Markus Paulus, Professor of Developmental Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU), have carried out a study to determine the degree to which people show concern for robots and behave towards them based on moral principles.According to Sari Nijssen, the study set out to answer the following question:" Under what circumstances would adults be willing to sacrifice robots to save human lives?" The participants were faced with a hypothetical (假设的) moral dilemma: Would they be prepared to put a single person at risk in order to save a group of injured persons? In the situations presented the intended victim was either a human, a humanoid robot that had been humanized (人性化的) to various degrees or a robot that was clearly recognizable as a machine.The study suggested that the more the robot was humanized, the less likely participants were to sacrifice it. Situations that included vivid stories in which the robot was described as a merciful being or as a creature with its own understandings, experiences and thoughts, were more likely to stop the study participants from sacrificing it in the interests of anonymous (无名的) humans. "This result indicates that our study group attached a certain moral status to the robot," says Paulus. "One possible suggestion of this finding is that attempts to humanize robots should not go too far. Such efforts could come into conflict with their intended function—to be of help to us."（1）What has become a concern about robots?A. How to humanize them.B. How to treat them in life.C. How to use them effectively.D. How to find more applications.（2）In the study the participants probably have to decide ________.A. when to sacrifice a robotB. where to experience risksC. which robot to work withD. what robots should be like（3）What can be inferred from Paulus' words?A. Humanized robots offer less help to people.B. Humanizing robots too much may be improper.C. Certain moral status should be attached to robots.D. Conflicts often happen between humans and robots.（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Robots, A Must for FutureB. Humanized Robots, A New TrendC. Robot Saved, People Take the HitD. Humanized Robots, Replace Human【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，随着越来越多的机器人具有人性化，它们承担越来越多样化的专业和日常任务，人们如何看待他们，如何对待他们的问题变的迫在眉睫。

I. Life Science 生命科学The Five Senses视觉、听觉、味觉、嗅觉和触觉是人类最基本的五种感觉，即五官感觉。

我们通过它们感知外界物体，获取与机体生存紧密相关的重要信息，从而对所处环境作出分析判断。

五感在我们的日常生活中扮演了至关重要的角色。

Sport injuries肌肉是支撑人体活动的重要部分，我们要小心保护，防止肌肉受伤。

·Warm-upDo you know any kind of sport injuries? Have you suffered from any of them?·Big question to think about while you readWhat are sprains and fractures?Sprains occur when a muscle is pulled too far. The result can be a break or a tear of a ligament. Sprains can sometimes happen as the result of an injury, such as a fall.Sprains can also happen when you do not warm up your muscles before you exercise.A broken bone often occurs as the result of an accident. A broken bone is called a fracture. How can you tell if a bone is broken? The pain in the area is very strong. You cannot move the part that is broken. The part that is broken begins to swell or grow bigger.In most cases, you should not move because a bone may be broken Get someone's help to call an ambulance immediately.You will be taken to a hospital nearby to check whether or not you have a broken bone. To check this, you will normally get an X-ray. An X-ray is a black and white picture of the bones taken with a special machine. It lets a doctor see if a bone is broken. (178 words)·Reflection questions on what you read1. What are the differences between sprains and fractures?2. How can a doctor tell whether there's a broken bone or not?3. What should you do if a sprain occurs?4. Which one do you think is more serious, a sprain or a broken bone?Measuring speed优异的骨骼结构和强健的肌肉使人和动物在运动时拥有较高的速度，下面的文章会告诉你什么动物运动速度最快。

·Warm-upDo you notice that some animals move faster than others? Have you ever thought about why they can move faster?·Big question to think about while you readHow do you define the word "fast"?Content Vocabulary1. distance n. the amount of space between two places or things 距离2. motor n. the basic unit for measuring length 米3. kilometer n. a unit for measuring distance, equal to 1,000 meters 公里4. athlete n. someone who competes in sports competitions, especially running,jumping, and throwing 运动员5. compare v. to examine and note the similarities or differences of 比较The movements of our bodies help us to go from one place to another. For example, when you go to school, you can walk, run,ride a bike, or ride in a car or a bus. You must cover a certain distance. Distance is the amount of space between two places.Did you know that the distance from one place to another can be measured in meters? But if you need to measure distances that are longer than 1,000 meters, then it is usual to measure them in kilometers.Sometimes we measure the time it takes to travel a certain distance. This is called speed. Speed is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds.When an athlete covers a distance of 100 meters in ten seconds, we know that the athlete can run very fast. It takes an average person around twenty seconds to run 100 meters. The athlete runs the distance much faster than the average person. How fast can you run 100 meters?Which are the fastest animals?Animals move at different speeds. Some animals move faster than others. Compares how fast or slow different animals move.Which athletes are the fastest?Athletes spend many hours in training and practice in different sports. Coaches teach athletes how to improve their speed and strength. As a result, athletes develop strong bodies and muscles.Some athletes move very fast. They take part in races to see who is the fastest at certain sports. The Olympic Games is the largest sports competition in the world. (254 words)·Reflection questions on what you read1. How can we calculate a moving object's speed?2. What units of measurement do people use to measure distance?3. What units of measurement do people use to measure speed?4. Why do athletes have to spend many hours in training and practice in different sports?5. Please name at least 3 Olympics sports where athletes take part in to compete for speed.The locomotive system人体有着复杂的组织结构，正因为这样，我们能够行走、奔跑、跳跃。

下面让我们一起来探索其中的奥妙吧！·Warm-upHow much do you know about your body? Do you know what's happening in your body when you're walking, jumping and running?·Big question to think about while you readWhat exactly is the locomotive system?We have learned how receptors on our sense organs send messages to the brain, which then responds to the signals. The response from the brain can be a movement of the body.Most of the movements of our bodies occur because we want them to happen. These are called voluntary movements. If we want to kick a ball, we have to think about doing it. Our brain receives the message, and immediately our foot kicks the ball.Other movements are called involuntary3 movements. Certain muscles in our bodies work without us having to think about them. For example, the muscles that move food through our digestive system4 are involuntary. They work even while we are sleeping.Bones and musclesBones make up the skeleton and support the body. But bones do not move on their own. They need muscles to move. Muscles move every part of the body, such as the head, fingers, legs, and toes, and even our eyes and tongue.Muscles are made out of many stretchy, elastic cells and fibers. Muscles function like rubber bands that stretch and relax in the body.Muscles work in pairs. One muscle pulls the bone forward, and another muscle pulls the bone back. When one muscle is working (contracting), the other muscle is relaxing. Your muscle pairs work together to move.The place where one bone joins another is called a joint6. Joints allow movement and give the skeleton its ability to bend, twist, and turn.Tissues called ligaments hold bones together at joints. Bones, muscles, and ligaments make up the locomotive system. This system gives the body its form and allows it to move. (274 words)·Reflection questions on what you readl. What's the difference between voluntary and involuntary movements?2. Please give 3 more examples of involuntary movements.3. How do the muscles help you to move?4. What's a joint? Please give an example.5. There are many athletes who suffer from ligament injuries and cannot take part incompetitions anymore. What will happen if there is a broken ligament?The ear and the hearing听觉是仅次于视觉的重要感官通道，它在人的生活中起着重要作用。
