The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students.

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 Tourism 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 popularity.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.B．A travel guide.C．A food advertisement.D．A news report.06（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）The common problem of myopia (近视) among students has been a big challenge for China to deal with for many years. 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 Fudan 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’ parents 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.B．By telling stories.C．By giving examples.D．By comparing facts.23．What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean in Chinese?A．解释B．应对C．提升D．保持24．What can we know from Yang Chenhao’s words?A．Doctors should work with primary schools.B．Wantang Primary School is worth learning in some ways.C．Children should not use a mobile phone.D．Parents should pay more attention to their kids.25．What is the most important way to achieve zero myopia according to Sun Fubiao?A．Less time of learning at school.B．Fixing enough public phones.C．Much time of outside activities.D．Working with kids’ parents.参考答案：1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B【导语】本文主要介绍了美团推出的无人机送餐服务，包括其操作流程、研发过程及发展前景。

They are the backbone (脊梁) of the force that is going to shape our future. Who are they? They are the young generation who were born after 2000.This year, several young athletes have shone brightly at the Beijing Winter Olympics, giving us a glimpse (一瞥) of their generation's nature.Obviously, the young generation is filled with "brave warriors (战士)" who want to challenge impossibilities and push boundaries. Freestyle skier Gu Ailing is a good example. After she finished strong in the first two jumps in the women's freeski Big Air event, it was certain that she could get a medal. But instead of playing it safe, the 18yearold skier pushed herself to the limit. On the last jump, Gu decided to attempt a difficult trick: a left double cork (左侧两周空翻转体) 1620－four and a half rotations (旋转) in the air－before landing.“I have never done the 'left 16' before. I hadn't prepared much for it apart from two days on the air bag," Gutold China Daily, “but I felt it was a chance to push myself to the limit”.But for these young athletes, the sport is never just about scores, but also about having as much fun as possible. Born in the US, Gu faced criticism and doubts for representing China in the Beijing Winter Olympics.When questioned by The Guardian at a news conference on F eb 8, the “post00” said bluntly (直截了当地) that she wasn't trying to make everyone happy.“I'm an 18yearold girl out here living my best life. I'm having a great time,” Gu said. “It doesn't really matter if other people are happy or not, because I feel I’m doing my best and I’m enjoying the entire process.”Gu's good friend, Chinese snowboarder Su Yiming also shares a similar attitude. He takes sports as a way to have fun.After he was judged to have lost the gold to Canadian athlete Max Parrot in the men's slopestyle (坡面障碍技巧) final, the 17yearold didn’t feel upset. Instead, he was happy to have the chance to pete with his idol.“When I was on the podium (领奖台) hugging Max Parrot, it felt unreal,” Su told China Daily. “All I did today was enjoy the runs and concentrate on my tricks. As long as I am on my snowboard I am happy.”This is young generation that dares to push the limits but also enjoys life.1. Which statement is wrong from the article?A. Gu Ailing is an American girlB. Gu Ailing is a “post 00”C. Gu Ailing is a Chinses athleteD. Gu Ailing is a girl who dares to challenge herself2.Why didn’t Su Yiming feel upset when he lost in the men's slopestyle?A. Because the Canadian athlete Max Parrot is his idol.B. Because losing to his idol is reasonable.C. It was his idol who won the gold.D. Because he thought he had a chance to challenge his idol.3.What’s the main idea of paragraph 3 and 4?A. Gu Ailing is an excellent athlete.B. Gu Ailing’s spirit of challengi ng impossibility.C. Gu Ailing´s enjoying her life.D. Gu Ailing’s good attitude to the Olympics.4. What’s the mon nature of this young generation according to the article?A. Enjoying adventure but also having delicious food.B. Challenging impossibility but also enjoying life.C. Making others happy but also enjoying themselves.D. Following fashion but also making lots of friends.二、阅读理解How has the munist Party of China (CPC) succeeded in leading the nation’s revolution (革命) and development since its founding 100 years ago? And in what way can it succeed in realizing national rejuvenation (复兴) in the future?From Nov 8 to 11, 2021, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central mittee (中国共产党第十九届中央委员会第六次全体会议) took place in Beijing. The meeting was as much about the past as it was about the future. The mittee reviewed (审议) and passed a key resolution on the major achievements and historical (历史的) experience of the CPC’s 100 years of efforts.The resolution is only the third of its kind in th e Party’s 100year history. The previous (之前的) two were passed in 1945 and 1981 respectively (分别地). These resolutions unified (团结) the whole Party in thinking and action at key historical moments, as well as played a vital guiding role in advancing the cause of the Party and the people, according to the CPC.“Standing at a new historical starting point, we review the past and look to the future,” said Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central mittee. The timing (时机) of the third resolution has its own historical significance (意义), too.In 2021, the CPC realized its First Centenary Goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects (全面建成小康社会). Now it is leading the nation toward its Second Centenary Goal with a twostage strategic plan. In the first stage, from 2020 to 2035, we will see that socialist modernization is basically realized (基本实现社会主义现代化). In the second stage, from 2035 to the middle of this century, China will develop into a great modern socialist country.As the reso lution says, the Party’s past success came from, and its future success will continue to rely on, what the Party does. It includes upholding (坚持) the Party’s leadership, putting the people first, and following the Chinese path. The meeting also decided that the 20th National Congress of the CPC will take place in the secondhalf of 2022 in Beijing.1.

Working in groups of four or five, the little chefs take their responsibilities very seriously.Soon, they are showing off their own delicious dishes.Since last September, the school has set up afterschool classes forstudents, with cooking classes being the most popular, said Xinhua. It es afterthe “double reduction” policy (政策). The policy aims to ease the burdens(减轻负担) of too much homework and offcampus tutoring (课外辅导) for primary and junior high school students.The policy lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount and difficulty of homework assignments (家庭作业), as well as improving the quality (质量) of education and afterschool services. For example, homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish. It allows students more free time to pursue (追求) their hobbies and interests. Also, offcampus tutoring has been further regulated (管理) to reduce the burden on students.“Our homework is clearly less than before,” said 13yearold Shen Yuzhe from Beijing. “We are not encouragedto buy workbooks anymore. The exercises are mainly from the textbook.” According to Shen, teachers have taught at a much slower pace (速度), which gives students enough time to process new information.In December, the Ministry of Education (MOE) reported on the progress made through the policy so far. Almost all primary and middle schools now offer twohour afterschool services on weekdays. More than 90 percent of students can finish their written homework in the set time. About 92.7 percent of schools have opened afterschool arts and sports classes. More than 80 percent of academic tutoring institutions (学科类校外培训机构) have closed down or turned to other fields of business.“With homework done at school, my child and I can read books and listen to music together in the evening, or we can go out to play badminton or skip rope,” said Lu Di, the parent of a fifthgrader in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang.1.

Supportive.四、阅读理解In May 2021, a video of a group of reality show fans pouring milk out of bottles and collecting the bottle caps (瓶盖) caught our attention online. They wanted the caps, which had QR codes printed inside. With each code standing for a vote (票), fans were able to vote for contestants (选手) in the show.This behavior is typical in fan quan, or “fan clubs”, which are organized groups of loyal (忠诚的) fans who share information about their idols. They voluntarily spend time and money to make their idols as popular as possible.According to China Daily, the rise of fan quan has played a key role in driving the entertainment industry (娱乐产业), but its social impacts (影响) have caused worries. For example, these people wasted a lot of milk. Moreover, some fans spread rumors (谣言) about other celebrities (名人). Different groups of fans sometimes also have online arguments. These misbehaviors will no longer be allowed. In June, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC, 国家网信办) started a twomonth nationwide campaign (行动) called “Clear and Bright” to clean up the online environment, especially fan clubs.Since then, many social platforms (平台) have started dealing with such misbehaviors. Douban, a movie review website, said its major focus is to stop those who lure (引诱) youngsters to raise money to support idols. Sina Weibo silenced (禁言) 100 accounts (账号) and removed (删除) 3,770 posts after an online “fight” between fans of two celebrities on Aug 23.In fan clubs, minors (未成年人) have played an important role. According to the China Internet Network Information Center, there were 183 million Chinese internet users under the age of 18 as of July 2021. Among them, about 8 percent are fans of celebrities, and most are middle school students.These youngsters lack (缺乏) social experience and are easily misled. The negative (负面的) fan culture isbad for forming healthy social behavior among teenagers, said China Daily. “Schools and parents need to provide more care for youngsters to help them support idols rationally (理智地),” Zheng Ning, an expert from munication University of China.New rulesOn Aug 27, 2021, the Cyberspace Administration of China made a notice covering 10 new requirements, aiming to stop irrational fan culture. Here are some of the requirements.Inte rnet platforms must remove fans’ improper (不合适的) posts in a timely manner. Otherwise, they will face punishment (惩罚).Online accounts of celebrities and their panies need to prevent fans from taking part in arguments, defamation (诽谤), or the dissemination (散播) of other harmful content (内容) on the internet.Luring fans to spend money on certain products is banned (禁止). Fans trying to raise money for their idols is also not allowed.More importantly, minors are banned from taking leading roles in online groups and activities or using money to support stars.1. According to Paragraph 1, people were pouring milk to _____.A. draw people’s attention onlineB. collect bottle capsC. show thanks to their idolsD. share information about their idols2.

People usually have dumplings and mutton soup on that day.Light snow usually falls on November 22nd or 23rd and heavy snow usually falls on December 7th or 8th. When winter solstice comes, it brings the shortest days of the year and the longest nights. Many places of the country can expect the coldest weather yet. Winter solstice in 2021 is on December 21th. People often start counting “nine cold periods” starting from winter solstice. Every cold period has nine days. People believe that after 81 cold days, spring will come.Greater cold comes after lesser cold. The field is covered with snow. And all Chinese are ready to welcome the Spring Festival after it.

Start of Winter(立冬), the 19th term of the year, begins on November 7 and ends on November 22 this year. Start of Winter shows the change of seasons.

Winter Solstice(冬至), the 22nd period of the year, begins this year on Dec 22 and ends on Jan 4.On the first day of Winter Solstice, the sun shines directly at the Tropic of Capricorn(南回归线). As a result, the northern part of the world experiences the shortest day and the longest night in the year. From then on, the days become longer and the nights become shorter. The Winter Solstice also marks the arrival of the coldest season in the year. Here are three things you should know about Winter Solstice.The Winter Solstice FestivalThere was a saying that went in ancient China, “The Winter Solstice is as important as the Spring Festival.” As early as Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-256BC), people honored the gods on the first day of the Winter Solstice, which was also the first day of the new year. The Winter Solstice became a winter festival during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220AD).Eating dumplingsDuring Winter Solstice in North China, eating dumplings is necessary for almost everyone. There is a saying that goes “Have dumplings on the first day of Winter Solstice and noodles on the first day of Summer Solstice.”Eating rice cakesDuring the Winter Solstice, people in Hangzhou traditionally eat rice cakes. In the past, people used to make rice cakes themselves to honor ancestors there. Today, though few families have home-made cakes, people there still buy rice cakes for the Winter Solstice Festival.8. Why does the northern world enjoy the shortest day on Dec 22 this year?A. Because the southern part of the world enjoys the longest days.B. Because the sun shines straightly at the Tropic of Capricorn.C. Because the days get longer and the nights get shorter,9. What does the underlined word “mark” mean?A. 打分B. 启动C. 标志10. During Winter Solstice, people ________.A. are supposed to eat the same kind of foodB. memorize the ancestors all over China.C. keep the tradition of eating rice cakes in Hangzhou11. Which of the statement is TRUE about the passage?A. People started the custom of Winter Solstice thousands of years ago.B. Winter Solstice lasts for less than 10 days this year.C. The first day of Winter Solstice means the start of a new year now.12. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The introduction to Winter Solstice.B. The customs on Winter Solstice.C. The importance of Winter Solstice.4For many, the winter season can negatively affect their mood with cold weather and less sunlight, it can be hard to keep a positive attitude. But why not look for a way around this? And what better place to look than Scandinavia where people are ranking among the happiest, even though they deal with the coldest and darkest winters? Three strategies arc regularly used to keep a “positive wintertime mindset (心态）”.Getting outside is the first strategy. The Norwegian concept of friluftsliv, which translates roughly (差不多) to “open air life”, is ke y. Dress warmly for the weather and enjoy the cold air. Being outdoors can refresh you. Being out in nature—even for a short time can improve both our mental and physical health. So go skiing, sledding, snowboarding or ice-skating—as long as you’re outside, you won’t regret it.Making winter special is the second way. Celebrate the darkness of winter with light. Gather around the fireplace with your family or light candles. In the Danish language, enjoying something warm is called hygge. Hygge is the antidote for the cold winter and the rainy days. Wrap yourself in warm blankets and drink hot chocolate. These will help you through the coldness of winter.Appreciating winter is also a good method. Start with focusing on the positive aspects of winter, rather than the negative, Appreciate the white beauty of the first snowfall. Show off your new sweater, coat, scarf or boots. Be thankful for the illumination (照明) of light during days that are increasingly dark. Welcome the shifts in seasons, instead of regretting them. If we keep an eye on the positive things, we can surely get good mood.13. The passage mainly wants to tell us ________.A. winter will give people negative feelingsB. reasons why we should go out in winterC. methods to keep positive state of mind in winterD. different ways to appreciate winter14. The word “antidote” has the close meaning to ________.A. solutionB. instructionC. performanceD. introduction15. What can we know from paragraph 2 and 3?A. Open air life is a Norwegian concept.B. We should dress beautifully to enjoy the cold air.C. People in Denmark always wrap themselves in warm blankets and drink hot chocolate.D. Getting outside benefits people mentally and physically.16. By showing off our new clothes, we can ________.A. focus on the negative aspects of winterB. be more likely to get good moodC. get praise from other peopleD. appreciate the white beauty of the snowfall17. From this passage, we can infer that in winter, ________.A. the temperature in Scandinavia is very lowB. people always have negative mindsetC. it’s hard to find something to appreciateD. people in Denmark use candles to get light二、完型填空Keeping traditions alive is never an easy thing. Chen Zunkai, the owner of Baoyuan Dumpling House, has 18 the past 16 years improving one of the most traditional Chinese foods: jiaozi.Her 19 are not the white crescent-shaped (月牙形状的) ones simply filled 20 pork or lamb, but colorful ones using more than 150 kinds of fillings.“21 I try to do is to make dumplings have a taste of home,” Chen says. “I hope every customer, Northerners or Southerners, vegetarians (素食者) or non-vegetarians, Chinese people or foreigners can 22 something familiar.”Chinese dumplings are believed 23 more than 2,000 years old. 24 , they are made and eaten by people in North China at some festivals such as the winter solstice (冬至). To 25 the year-end cold, people usually fill dumplings with strongly flavored (有强烈味道的) meat such as pork or lamb.For Chen, her 26 came after she noticed that there were not many choices for those 27 prefer lighter fillings.

It means the beginning of winter.To welcome lidong, people have many colorful customs that light up the cold days. One of the most popular customs is to have a big meal. Winter is believed to be a season for keeping food fresh. Eating well helps people save enough energy to beat the cold in winter, and prepare for the growth in the coming spring. In the north, people prefer eating dumplings. The Chinese word for dumpling,"jiao" (饺),has a similar pronunciation as the word "change", "jiao" (交). Eating dumplings means celebrating the change of autumn to winter. While in the south, eating chicken, duck and fish is common.From history, lidong was also a time for people to keep vegetables. There were not many fresh vegetables to eat during winter. So, around lidong, some people in the north began to keep vegetables like cabbages and green onions in a cellar underground. When it was time for cooking, fathers went down with a basket tied to one end of a rope (绳子). Children were happy to wait beside the cellar holding the other end of the rope. When fathers filled the basket with vegetables, children helped to pull it out.However, nowadays, some of the customs have disappeared. Most people buy fresh vegetables in the supermarket. Instead, new winter customs are born in certain places. In Harbin, experienced swimmers choose to swim in the winter waters during lidong. How cold it must be!28. How many solar terms are there in a year?29. What does Lidong mean?30. According to the passage, what's the meaning of eating dumplings?2023年中考英语时事热点阅读专练热点69 中国冬天里的六个节气一、阅读理解1In China, there are 24 solar terms（节气）in a year. And there are six of them in winter.

Men often hold the door open for ladies and walk in behind them. But I am not sure if this is still necessary today. We no longer need, perhaps, to always let the ladies go first.In the age of “Ladies first,” women were generally considered to be the weaker sex. Men, therefore, had to show courtesy (谦恭) to women. Therefore, the phrase “Ladies first” conveys (传递) the stereotype (刻板印象) that women are born weaker and need special protection.Modern women, however, are no less capable than men. Many of them have strong working abilities and have made great contributions (贡献) to our society. In 2015, Tu Youyou, a female scientist, became the first Chinese winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Last year, Chloe Zhao, a female director, was awarded the Golden Lion, the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. These examples show that women are no longer weaker than men.I believe that these days, women and men should be treated equally. Mutual (相互的) respect is what we need today. “Ladies first,”meanwhile, has become an outdated idea. I hope that people will stop saying “Ladies first.” The phrase only deepens the stereotyp e that women are weaker. I don’t want to enjoy any “benefits”of being a woman or be treated unfairly just because of my gender (性别).6. In the age of “ladies first”, _______ were generally considered to be th e weaker sex.A. menB. womenC. childrenD. the old7. _______ was the first Chinese winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.A. Mo YanB. Chloe ZhaoC. Tu YouyouD. Chen-Ning Franklin8. The writer thinks _______.A. women are the weaker sexB. women should go firstC. men should respect womenD. women and men should be treated equally3At the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of writers combined creative writing with statement of national identity. China’s Lu Xun is a familiar example, along with W.B. Yeats, Ireland’s greate st poet and the founder of the patriotic “Celtic Twilight” cultural movement. A third great literary patriot is the Bengali and Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore(1861-1941).Tagore renewed Bengali writing, intr oducing the common people’s language into poetry and writing about the common people too. By showing the value of Bengali literature, he showed the reasons for the independence of India as a nation. It’s no surprise that he strongly supported his country’s independence from the British.Tagore wasn’t ju st a poet, but also an novelist, a playwright, and an essayist. The range of his talents made him famous not only in India, but across the world.His fame led to invitations to travel; on his journeys abroad he met with other famous figures in the arts, po litics and sciences. He was W.B, Yeats’ guest in Ireland and once meet Einstein, as well as meeting many world leaders. The inspiration that came from such a varied life fed into his work, giving it an international character.Since it is so varied, it’s difficult to generalize about Tagore’s writing. But it’s impossible not to notice a strong awareness of loss in it. Take these lines from his poem Golden Boat, included in a book that won him in 1913, world li terature’s highest honor, the Nobel Prize. Tagor e imagines life as a boat which floats on, leaving him, a dead man, on the shore “All I had achieved was carried off on the golden boat-only I was left behind.”9. How are Lu Xun, Yeats and Tagore similar?A. They were all at the beginning of the 20th century.B. They are all wealthy writers.C. They are all great literary patriots.D. They all won the Noble Prize.10. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. Tagore’s writing style.B. Tagore’s life in In dia.C. Tagore’s interest in Bengali literature.D. Tagore’s support for his country’s independence.11. What gave an international character to Tagore’s work?A. His fame.B. His journeys abroad.C. Other famous figures in the world.D. His varied life.12. By taking lines from the poem golden boats, the author means to prove ________.A. Tagore’s love for his motherland.B. Tagore’s talents in varied fields.C. Tagore’s awareness of loss in his work.D. Tagore’s great achievement in world literature.4If you’re reading this, you were probably born in the 2000s. The oh-ohs. The 21st century. That would make you young, creative, connected, global(全球的) and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too. Right? But what do other people think about your generation?Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much and they wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family. Ar e today’s teenagers too busy texting and taking selfies (自拍) to become successful in real life-or “IRL”, as you would say?Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (宠坏的) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in th e 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter parents” who were always there to guide and help them with a busy schedule filled with homework and extra-curricular activities such as dancing,drawing or sports. With partners who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.Does the face-down generation need a heads-up? Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They also seem to be enthusiastic（热情的）and willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s a reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. I believe that you will do GR8 (great) and LOL (laugh out loud) .13. What do we know about the younger teenagers from Paragraph 1?A. They could make the most money.B. They became more and more silent.C. They may have no doubt good-looking.D. They would get much more perfect.14.

It plans everything for children.16. According to Paragraph 4, what does the writer think about the younger generation?A. Believable.B. Powerful.C. Warm-hearted.D. Independent.17. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) to the younger generation?A. To tell them how to choose the phone.B. To compare some adults’ ideas about them.C. To encourage them to take action.D.

You may like eating bananas, but do you know there are people called "banana persons"? If you don't know, I will tell you about it. They are some Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China. Why do people call them like that?If we call somebody an ABC person, we mean he or she is a Chinese but was born(出生) in America. Sometimes, people also call them "banana persons". A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So if somebody is a "banana person", he or she is "white" inside and "yellow" outside. By saying that, we mean he or she has yellow skin(皮肤) but does things in an American way. "Banana persons" were born in America and they live in America for a long time, so they think like Americans and do things like Americans. However, these people still have Chinese blood(血统). Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents are from China. They all have black eyes and black hair, so they look like us, Chinese people.There are many famous "banana persons" in America. They do very well in America and they are really great in their own fields. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang(杨振宁). He got the Nobel Prize forPhysics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.18. The people who are called ABC are ________.A. ChineseB. EnglishC. Japanese19. In which place may the Chinese people be called "Banana person"?A. In BeijingB. In LondonC. In New York.20. Why are these Chinese people called "Banana person"?A. Because their bodies are yellow both inside.B. Because they do things like American but look like Chinese.C. Because they were born in China and went to America many years ago.21. According to the passage, we know that ________.A. ABC persons and Banana people are the same one.B. ABC persons not only do things like Americans but also look like Americans.C. ABC persons don't have Chinese blood anymore.22. The best title(标题) for the passage is ________.A. What is a "Banana person"B. Great ABC PersonsC. Great "Banana person"6Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, passed away at the age of 87 on April 18, 2014. The world paused to remember the cultural giant(巨匠).Garcia Marquez was born in Colombia, but he spent most his adult life in Mexico City. As one of the most famous writers, he was widely regarded as “A giant of 20th- century literature”. Garcia Marquez wrote in a style called “magical realism(魔幻现实主义)”. In such works, people live a daily life in a certain period of time in history. But meanwhile, magical things happen to them.Garcia Marquez is best known for his 1967 novel, One Hundred Years of Solitude, which has sold about 50 million copies. It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world-of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years. The story is a metaphor(暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19th century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said, Garcia Marquez wrote about “the very essence(精髓) of the Latin American being”.23.

These prizes are named after Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite (炸药) in the I9th century. During his life, Mr. Nobel made a lot of money from his invention. It was his idea to create the prizes. He put the money in a bank, and money made more money through interest from the bank.Mr. Nobel wanted to use his money to help scientists, artists and people helping others around the world. The prizes include physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace.These five Nobel Prizes were first given out in 1901. Later, Nobel Prize in Economic (经济) Sciences was set up to celebrate the 300th year business of the Central Bank of Sweden (瑞典) in 1968.Each winner is given a cash prize, a medal and a special paper which explains the prize the person won. Theamount of money each person gets is calculated (计算) from the interest made from all of Mr. Nobel's money still in the bank. This interest is divided equally between the five prize winners in physics, medicine, chemistry, literature and peace. The Central Bank of Sweden then pays the same amount to the winner of the prize in economics.Affected by the COVID-19, this year's Nobel Prize Award Ceremony (仪式) will be held online instead of the traditional one.28.

But unlike Mozart, Einstein wasn’t very talented as a kid. Born in Germany in 1879, he was slow to learn to speak, and he was a normal student at school. He was interested in math and science, but he liked to study at home better. Later he studied to be a teacher, but he didn’t find a job in a school and for some years, he was an office worker. A lot of Einstein’s most famous ideas were the res ult of study in his free time, when he also played the violin to relax.From 1908, he was a university teacher for many years, first in Europe and then in the US. He was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921. He was famous for the theory of relativity (相对论), but only several scientists could understand it. His biggest dream was to find one explanation for the basic (基础的) ideas in physics but he died before this was possible.As a famous scientist, Einstein got letters from people around the world. Some of the letters were from children and he always answered them. One letter was from a girl with math problems at school. “Do not worry about your difficulties in math” was his answer. “I can tell you that mine are still greater.”Einstein died in a hospital in 1955.

九年级时事热点英语阅读理解25题
九年级时事热点英语阅读理解25题1<背景文章>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is making significant inroads into the field of education. AI-powered educational tools are transforming the way students learn and teachers teach.One of the major applications of AI in education is personalized learning. AI algorithms can analyze a student's learning style, strengths, and weaknesses and create a customized learning plan. This helps students learn at their own pace and in a way that suits them best.Another advantage of AI in education is its ability to provide instant feedback. For example, when a student answers a question or completes an assignment, AI can immediately provide feedback on their performance. This helps students understand their mistakes and improve their learning.However, there are also challenges associated with the use of AI in education. One of the main concerns is the potential for AI to replace teachers. While AI can provide valuable support to teachers, it cannot replace the human touch and emotional connection that teachers provide.Another challenge is the need for data privacy and security. As AI systems collect and analyze large amounts of data about students, there is a risk that this data could be misused or hacked.In conclusion, AI has the potential to revolutionize education, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. As educators and policymakers, it is important to carefully consider the benefits and risks of using AI in education and develop appropriate strategies to ensure its responsible use.1. What is one of the major applications of AI in education?A. Standardized learning.B. Personalized learning.C. Group learning.D. Traditional learning.答案：B。

None of the faces I used to see were there anymore,” Green said. “It was kind of scary, and lonely. ”In his photo, Green is alone, wearing a face mask, with his school ID around his neck and his backpack over one shoulder.

1What should you do if there is a fire at school? Do you know how to protect yourself in a large crowd? Every year since 1996, on the last Monday of the last week in March, the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students is held. This year it falls on March 29. It offers us a chance to learn more about school safety.A 2022 survey from People’s Daily shows that the worst accidents at school were a result of stampedes(踩踏) , fires and traffic.Experts suggest that right safety measures could avoid 80 percent of these accidents, China Education Daily reported.When facing an accident, the first and most important rule is to stay calm. But different accidents mean different ways of dealing with them.A stampede happens in a place where a large crowd is gathered. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl your body and bend your legs.When there’s a fire, you can’t get outside by stairs. You can get to the fire escape through a fire exit door or a window. Stay calm and follow teachers’ instructions. L eave the classroom and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’ t breathe in smoke.If you take a school bus on your way home or to school,remember to wear your seatbelt and don’t walk around when the bus is moving. If you walk to school or go by bike, follow traffic rules. Wait for the green traffic light, and look left and right for cars before you cross the road.1. What do experts suggest to avoid school accidents?A. Following the teachers’ instructions.B. Stopping the students running and playing.C. Teaching students right safety measures.D. Holding a safety meeting every year.2. When there’s a fire, you should do the following things EXCEPT ________.A. use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and noseB. stay calm and follow teachers’ instructionsC. get outside by stairsD. get to the fire escape through a fire exit door3. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to deal with school safety accidents.B. Why school safety is important.C. Never be afraid during a fire.D. Introduce the results of a new survey.2People know the dangers of fires. It’s good for a family to learn how to protect against a fire. Here are some suggestions.Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to ring. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.Make escape (逃脱) plans. They should know all the ways out of the house. If there is a fire, everyone follows the plan to get out. The most important plan is to check all the windows to make sure they can open them easily.Buy fire extinguishers (灭火器) in the house. Everyone in the family should know how to use them.Practice for a fire. They do fire practice because they teach children about fire safety. Everyone in the family should know the following fire rules:Don’t open a hot door! The fire can grow mo re quickly if you open the door.Stay close to the floor! Smoke can be more dangerous than fire. The best air is near the floor because smoke goes up.What will you do if your hair or clothes start to burn? First, stop! Don’t run! The fire burns faster be cause of more air. Drop! Fall to the floor. Then roll(打滚)! Turning over and over will make the fire go out. Put a blanket (毯子) around you to keep air away from the fire.There are many possible causes for fires. A clever family is ready all the time. If th ere is a fire, don’t forg et to call 119 for help.4. What does the underlined word “alarm” mean ?A. 警报器.B. 计时器.C. 电话.5. What will happen if you open the door when a fire happens?A. The fire will go out.B. The fire will grow more quickly.C. The door will soon be on fire.6. What steps should you take when your hair or clothes catch fire?A. Stop, drop, roll.B. Stop, run, roll.C. Run, drop, roll.7. What’s the best title for this passage?A. The Dangers of a Fire.B. The Causes of a Fire.C. Protect Against a Fire.3A survey shows that the number of fires in government buildings each year is small compared to home fires. This is probably because such buildings are taken good care of and managed. However, at home after work fire safety is your own duty.For most of us who live in high-rise buildings, the safety of you and your family depends on how much you know to do with an emergency(紧急情况). When a fire happens, there is usually little time to decide what to do or how to act. The best thing is to make your emergency plan as soon as possible.Sit down with the family and prepare a careful escape project. Do remember that every fire isunpredictable. Fire and smoke can move very quickly and the situations in any part of the building may change very quickly. Smoke is usually more dangerous than fire. It can spread throughout the building and enter your house when the fire is many floors away.Some information says it is best to leave your house immediately when there is a fire. Others say it is safer to stay there. Which is correct?Usually the best thing to do is to leave the building as soon as possible. However, do not try to leave your house a long time after the fire alarm has sounded. There is a higher chance that heavy smoke has already spread into stairways and hallways.Never travel through smoke. You must stay inside your house and place wet towels at the bottom of the door to stop smoke from entering. Call the Fire Ser vices Department by dialing “119”, tell them where you are and then move to the most smoke-free room. Open the window there to let in fresh air if possible. Hang a sheet from thewindow to show fire fighters where you are.8. In the writer’s opinion, an em ergency plan for a fire should be made early ______.A. so that the fire can be put out in timeB. because we might lose our way in a fireC. because we may have little time to call 119D. so that we can keep ourselves safe from a fire9.

If it is a long time since the fire alarm sounded, the proper thing to do is ______.A. to try to put out the fireB. to stay inside the houseC. to leave the house at onceD. to sit down with the family11.

语法填空：李白诗歌赏析-《月下独酌》A 阅读理解ChatGPT now has an upgrade (升级) with its new AI model, GPT-4o.But why “o”? It stands for “omni”, which means it can do “all things” in “all ways”. It is stronger than any of the GPT models that came before it.GPT-4o can understand orders through voice, text or images . It can also give answers in all these types of media, said its maker OpenAI. When chatting with you, it can respond as fast as a person can. “Talking to a computer has never felt really natural for me; now it does,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a blog post.The new model may become your “new best friend” as it can help you with many things. It can teach you new languages, summarize a meeting and translate things really fast. But most helpful of all, GPT-4o can be your personal teacher.In a video on the OpenAI website, GPT-4o helped a boy named Imran Khan with a math problem. Instead of giving him the answer, it asked, “Do you remember the formula (公式)?” This helped Khan think step by step. When Khan made mistakes, GPT-4o gave hints (提示) and let him try again, instead of just telling him the answer. These abilities are making lots of people think and talk about the power of GPT-4o. “Teachers give classes to many students at the same time. Now with AI, each person’s learning experience is tailored (定制) to their requirements. It fits what a student needs,” a viewer of the video wrote online. But others also worry it might take away some teachers’ jobs.Still, many people see hope. If used right, GPT-4o can give more support to people like the blind or those feeling lonely, Emma Darcy, who works at Denbigh High School in the UK, told Forbes.1.

This is called "contact tracing,, （接触者追踪）・As governments remove COVTD-19 limits, they'll need to be able to quickly find and control new outbreaks. Contact tracing will be an important part of the process.But because COVID-19 spreads so quickly to so many people, it's almost impossible to trace all contacts with phone calls. Thafs why many people hope that digital contact tracing with smartphones will help.Most contact tracing apps collect information about where people have gone and the people they've had contact with. The apps can tell users when one of their recent contacts has been found to have COVID-19. Some systems also tell governments or health care workers.Now many apps have been developed all over the world. But some people worry the apps are being made too quickly and may not protect people's private information.What do you think of this kind of app?1.Contact tracing apps are mainly used on.A.smartphonesB. computersC. carsD. telephonesTo prevent COVID-19 from spreading further, we'd better.A.bring smartphonescontrol all people's movementsB.track down people who have been in contact with COVID-19 patientstell governments or health care workers2.What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 3 refer to?ers.B.

When the scientists tested their Al models, they found that they could detect 98.5% of the people who caught the virus, including 100% of the asymptomatic people.Brian Subirana, one of the scientists, says, "We think this shows that the way one person produces sound changes when he or she has COVID-19, even if he or she is asymptomatic.The scientists now want to turn their models into an app that can run on mobile phones. If they are able to do that, it could allow people to quickly and easily check whether theyhave caught the virus.30.From the passage, who are asymptomatic people?A.Those who do not cough at all although they catch the virusThose who have a high fever when they catch the virus.B.Those who catch the virus but don't show any signs of being illThose who catch the virus but won't pass it to any other one.31.How does the new method work?A.

The decision was made to fight against the unlawful wildlife trade and give up the bad habit of eating wild animals. It was also made to safeguard people's lives and health.The decision, made up of eight items, pays attention to the serious problem of some people eating wild animals. It aims to completely ban eating wild animals and fight against the unlawful wildlife trade. Later, some laws will be amended to provide a strong legislative promise for safeguarding public health and ecological security, according to the legislature.The habit of eating wild animals and the related unlawful trade have caused huge public attention after the outbreak of the COVID-19. Disease control experts have said wild animals are very likely to be the source of the new virus.The top legislature said in a statement that eating wild animals causes huge hidden risks to public health, but amendingthe Wild Animal Protection Law needs time and should go through legislative procedures."At the serious moment in the COVID-19 prevention and control, it's highly necessary and important for the NPC Standing Committee to pass a special decision," the statement said, adding that the decision takes effect immediately.Under current laws, wild animals that are banned from being eaten are those under national protection or those without a lawful source. However, the latest decision increases the scope by completely banning eating wild animals, according to the statement.35.What may be the source that causes the COVID-19?A.Wild plants.B. Dirty water.C. Wild animals.D. Sick persons.36.According to the NPC Standing Committee, it's necessary and important toat this moment.A. take care of patientsB. pass a special decisionC. raise animals for foodD. stay away from wild animals37.The decision was made mainly because of.A. being short of animalsB. being short of doctors and nursesC. the bad habits of eatingD. the outbreak of the COVID-1910COVID-19 is often difficult to discover. Many people who catch the virus （病毒）clearly show symptoms of being ill. But many others show no signs at all. These people are asymptomatic （无症状的）.Though asymptomatic people don't feel pain, they can still pass the virus on to others. And since they may not even realize they are ill, they're likely to go around and spread the virus further.Now scientists at MIT （麻省理工学院）have developed technology which can quickly discover whether a personhas COVID-19 or not, just from the way he or she coughs or speaks. The scientists used an Al （人工智能） methodknown as "Deep Learning”.In deep learning, computer programs are organized deeply through huge amounts of information allowing them to find patterns that humans are often unable to notice. These patterns get stored in a “model." It can later be used to f it those patterns in new and surprising ways.In this case, the information used to create the Al model was tens of thousands of recorded samples （样本）of people coughing and speaking. In all, the scientists had over 200,000 recordings of needs.When scientists tested their Al model, they found that it was able to discover 98.5% of all the cases where the person coughing had COVID-19. Even greater was the fact that it discovered 100% of the asymptomatic people.One of the scientists says, “We think this shows that the way you produce sound will change when you have COVID-19, even if you're asymptomatic.Of course, the model isn't perfectThe purpose of writing this passage is.A.to introduce a new technologyto know the writer's worries of the futureB.to show the writer's interest in Al methodto discuss the importance of fighting COVID-1938.The passage tells the following about Al method EXCEPT.A. what it is used forB. why it is createdC. how it testes peopleD. when it will be well used39.According to Paragraph 5 and 6, the scientists thought the Al model was.A. scaryB. amazingC. expensiveD. worryingWhich may be talked about the Al model at the end of the passage?A. The future.B. The process.C. The disadvantage.D. The popularity.二、完型填空My whole life has changed because of COVID-19.
