（2022·江苏·扬州市梅岭中学七年级期末）In the sea there are many islands(岛). In its warm waters, there are some little ones. We call them “Coral(珊瑚)Island”.
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring(环状物)of land with trees, grass and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake in the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful corals. You may think they're flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes lives a very small sea animal. These sea animals make the coral.
They begin to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grows higher and higher. At last it grows out of water.
Then the sea brings to it small trees and some other things. In some years, these things change into earth. Sometimes the wind brings seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds fly over it and bring seeds to the island. The little seeds grow. In a few years, there are plants all over the island. In a few more years there are trees growing there.

（2022·江苏扬州·七年级期末）As a student, you often have a lot of stress（压力）. Having a healthy diet can always help you feel better. Here are my tips for you.
Eat a good breakfast. Studies show that not having breakfast is bad for your study. When there isn’t time for you to sit down and enjoy your morning meal, you can have an egg, some fruit and some juice on your way.
Keep healthy snacks on hand. This way, if you are hungry on a late night or between meals, you can enjoy them at any time.
Eat lots of foods rich in calcium（钙）. Students in their young age need to build up their bodies with much calcium. If you don’t like milk, try some low-fat yogurt, cheese and green vegetables in your diet.
Limit（限制）your sugar intake. Sugar gives calories（卡路里）to your body. But too much is bad for your teeth. So put a little sugar in your coffee, tea, or milk every day.
Drink lots of water. Your body needs at least eight glasses of water a day. And if you often do sports, you may need more. To remind（提醒）yourself, carry a water bottle along to the classroom and keep it close to you during a late study night.

（2022·江苏淮安·中考真题）
Can you imagine a world without insects? Without ants or flies in your house, it might sound great. However, the results may be out of imagination.
The number of insects has dropped by half in the past few years, according to a British biologist Dave Coulson. You may think small insects are not important. But in fact they are the main part of the species(物种)on Earth.
Insects are indeed on the way to extinction, according to the first review of insect population. The researchers say the main reason for this is the use of pesticides(杀虫剂)because they destroy insects’ living areas. Also, weather change is another important cause.
“Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects will go down the way to extinction in a few years,” the researchers wrote in the review. “This will have huge influences on the planet’s ecosystem(生态系统).”
We need insects to pollinate(授粉)crops. They also break down(分解)dead plants and animals, which can keep the soil healthy. Without insects, many animals would have nothing to eat and die of hunger. Then, the ecosystem would be off balance.
“If the number of insect species keep dropping, this will have bad influences on both Earth’s ecosystem and the survival of us humans,” said one of the writers of the review.
“The first step to stop this is to let more people understand the values of the natural world,” he suggests. “The best place to start is from our children, who should realize environmental protection from an early age.”
35．The underlined word “extinction” means “________”.
A．pollution B．death C．harm D．protection
36．Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A．the reason for producing food B．the problem of animals and plants
C．the way to keep soil healthy D．the importance of insects
37．From the passage, we can know ________.
A．insects may destroy the balance of the ecosystem
B．ants and flies are the main part of the species on Earth
C．humans’ actions influence the number of insects
D．weather change has little influence on insects

（2022·江苏淮安·中考真题）I’m Black Beauty, a male horse. Before I was taken to Mr Gordon, my mother Duchess spoke to me, “All young horses have to leave mothers. Whatever happens, try to be gentle and stay away from bad behaviours.”
Then I came to Mr Gordon’s house.
In the stable(马厩) next to mine was a little fat grey horse.
I put my head up and said, “Nice to meet you! What’s your name?” He seemed unhappy. “I’m Merrylegs. You are my neighbour?”
I said yes.
“Well,” he continued, “I hope you are well-behaved. I don’t like anyone who bites people.” Then he went on, “Mr Gordon should be the best owner!”
A tall brown female horse shouted at him, “No one knows how long a good home will last!”
Merrylegs lowered his voice and whispered, “She’s Ginger with a bad habit of biting people.”
The angry voice came again, “You don’t know anything! ________ you would bite too.”
“Poor Ginger! What made her so unhappy?” I thought to myself.
The next day when I worked with Ginger, she told the whole story.
“I was taken away early from Mother and there was no kind master to look after me. My training started with several men forcing me against a wall. One held my nose and another pulled my mouth open to put a bit(马嚼子) in. They never gave me a chance to understand what they wanted.”
“How could that be?” I said.
“After the training, I was sold to a man in London, who drove me with a bearing rein(缰绳) . It is a kind of rein that pulls your neck all the way back. Imagine your neck on fire with pain?”
“Horrible!” I cried.
“After that, a gentleman found me and he thought that it was wrong for a fine horse to go bad like that. So I was brought here, not long before you came. We are lucky here, at least they treat us gently,” Ginger said.

（2022·江苏盐城·中考真题）One teacher praises a student by saying “You’re so smart!” Another teacher says, “You must have worked really hard at this!” Which student does better in school? Studies show that students who hear the words of the second teacher will do better. Those students are learning that their effort is important.
Psychologists（心理学家）looked at what students did after they were given different types of praise. Some students were told that they were good at a task. They didn’t try very hard the next time. Other students were told that they had worked hard at a task. They worked even harder the next time. The first group of students was learning that they had a set amount of skill. They didn’t think they could do any better. This is called a fixed mindset（思维模式）. The second group was learning that they could do better if they kept trying. This is called a growth mindset. People who have a growth mindset believe that the brain can grow; people can do better and learn new skills. If they work hard, they can be successful.
How can teachers and parents help students succeed? They can focus mainly on effort and not simply on ability. When students succeed, teachers and parents should praise the actual work rather than intelligence（智力）or talent. When students fail, they should be told how they can do better. Teachers, parents and students need to value effort, not intelligence.
Beliefs of Fixed and Growth Mindsets

Fixed Mindset
Growth Mindset

Things you’re born with that cannot change
Things you can grow and improve with hard work

Maggie, Travis and Lucy’s science teacher set a special test for them. They had to work out different kinds of problems within limited time to get out of a locked room.
For the past hour, Maggie, Travis and Lucy had been locked inside a room decorated like a mad scientist’s laboratory. Together they decoded（破译）a secret language and solved a difficult maths problem.
The last challenge, however, stopped them. The key to the door was trapped in a block of ice.
“We have to melt the ice,” Lucy said.
“But there’s nothing hot here!” Maggie complained.
Travis pulled off his sweatshirt and wrapped（裏）it around the ice. “This keeps me warm,” he reasoned.
A few minutes passed by, but the ice didn’t melt.
“Isn’t cloth an insulator（隔热材料）?” Lucy asked. She tried to remember what she had learned in science class. “Heat always flows from warm objects to cold ones. The heat in the air will eventually melt the ice, but we need to find something that will help heat move from the air to the ice more quickly.”
“What about glass?” Maggie asked.
“Glass is also an insulator. It keeps heat from moving,” Lucy said. Then she noticed a large metal tray（金属托盘）across the room. “This might work!”
Lucy put the block of ice onto the tray. Everybody’s eyes moved between the clock and the ice. Would they be able to free the key in time?
At last, the key lay in the water on the tray. The three friends rushed out of the room in the last minute.
“We made it!” Travis cheered. “Good thing you paid attention in science class!”
61．What final challenge did the three friends need to complete?
A．To solve a maths problem. B．To learn a secret language.
C．To find their science teacher. D．To get the key trapped in ice.
62．What does Travis mean by saying “This keeps me warm”?
A．His sweatshirt can help melt the ice. B．He dislikes his sweatshirt.
