中考总复习一般分为三轮：
1、第一轮复习为基础知识的单元、章节复习。通过第一轮的复习，使学生系统掌握基础知识、基本技能和方法，形成明晰的知识网络和稳定的知识框架。
2、第二轮复习打破章节界限实行大单元、小综合、专题式复习。第二轮复习绝不是第一轮复习的压缩文档，而是一个知识点综合、巩固、完善、提高的过程。复习的主要任务及目标是：完成各部分知识的条 理，归纳，糅合，使各部分知识成为一个有机的整体。
3、第三轮复习是知识、能力深化巩固的阶段。复习资料的组织以中考题及模拟题为主，回扣教材，查缺补漏，进行强化训练。同时，要教给学生一些必备的应试技巧和方法，使学生有足够的自信从容地面对中考。
专题12 阅读理解
阅读理解是每年中考试题的“重中之重”。此题型的分值为30-40分，约占整套试题总分的45%左右。阅读理解主要考查考生通过阅读短文获取一定信息的能力。近几年的中考试题考查的文体多为记叙文、说明文、应用文等，考查内容比较广泛。
不仅如此，阅读理解的文章在体裁方面也越来越多样化，广告、图表等应用文是近年来中考试题的新体裁；在内容方面，也更加体现了时代性和可读性，题材包括科普、社会、文化、政治、经济等方面。
知识构建： 文体： 01、记叙文 02、说明文 03、议论文 04、应用文
考查方向： 01主旨题 02 推断题 03 猜测词义题 04细节理解题。
考向一、应用文
英语应用文属于实用型文体，如书信、通知、日记、广告等。应用文阅读要注意文中具体细节的把握与理解，弄清作者所传达的实际信息及表达的具体内容。阅读时采取速读与精读相结合的方法，力求快速精确地查出试题所设置的关键内容。
宜采用“题干定位法”
应用文阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求，但在中考试题中，常常是 就某一点提问，以细节理解题为主，考生完全没有必要从头到尾全部仔细阅读，因为材料中有很多冗余无效信息。做此类题时，宜采用“题干定位法”，即先阅读题干，然后根据问题要求，按照题目顺序依次有 针对性地结合题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，阅读相关部分，快速寻找有效信息，再把原文和选项相比 较。当问题与材料相同的时候，对号入座；如果问题与原文不同，则可以同义替换、归纳事实等。
采用寻读、跳读的方法
要注意 根据所提问题采用寻读、跳读的方法，这样往往可以达到事半功倍的效果。

【答案】26. B 27. C 28. D
【解析】本文是三个青少年的问题以及作者给出的建议。
26.推理判断题。根据“What shuld I d?—Ann”、“My rm is always messy. N matter what I d, I can’t keep it clean!—Mike”和“I’m sad because I have t g t a summer camp. I just want t have a summer like my friends. Help me ut!—Jessie”可知需要帮助的青少年对这篇文章最感兴趣，故选B。
27.细节理解题。根据“My rm is always messy. N matter what I d, I can’t keep it clean!—Mike”可知Mike不知道如何整理他房间。故选C。
28.细节理解题。根据“We’re srry yu’re feeling this way! The best thing t d is t lk at things n the bright side.”可知作者建议Jessie要看到事物好的一面，故选D。
考向二、记叙文
做记叙文的时候先将事情发生的时间、地点，人物弄清楚。然后了解事件发生经过。英语记叙文以描写叙述为主，主要描写人物、事件、地点、或过程。特点是，其主题往往潜伏在字里行间，没有直接地表白出来；文章主旨要透过体察所揭示的人物、事件来进行提炼。描写手法大多按时间跨度、空间顺序、上下顺序来展开。阅读记叙文体应采取略读和扫读的方法，快速抓住文中描写的主要内容，从整体上去把握文章的连贯性，进而大体上揣测出作者的写作意图及情感主线。中考阅读就记叙文设题大多以细节理解为主。

Lking clsely at the map, everyne thught hard.
“Aha! A star!” Cindy suddenly brke the silence. She quickly tk ut a pencil.
As they watched her drawing lines n the map, everyne understd.
They began running back t where they started. They were clser and clser, and finally crssed the finish line-just ne step behind the Red Team!
“S…clse…” Tyler made a face, and they all laughed tgether.
“Nice jb, new girl,” Cindy gave Amy a high-five.
“That was really fun,” said Henry. “I hpe we’ll be n the same team sn.”
“Me, t,” Amy agreed, smiling.

【解析】这篇文章讲述了一个叫Amy的女孩在新学校参加游戏活动，与新认识的队友们一起完成任务，并且成为了好朋友的故事。Amy一开始非常紧张，因为不熟悉城市，无法提供很多有用的建议，但是队友们都没有介意并给予了她支持。在比赛过程中，他们一起寻找线索，完成任务，并且在最后一步比赛中只差一步落败，但是大家笑着庆祝并成为了好朋友。整个过程中，大家相互支持鼓励，体现了团队合作和友谊的精神。
本文以事件发展为线索：
新学期游戏中，新生Amy帮蓝队解谜，在队友鼓励下增加自信。他们解决线索，历经邮局、图书馆到达足球场。最后使用地图找到最终线索，紧随红队到达终点，团队表现让Amy赢得认可和友谊
1.推理判断题。根据“This was her first chance t make new friends, and she was nervus.”以及“S far Amy hadn’t given any useful suggestins—after all, she was ttally new t this twn.”可推断艾米是班里的新学生。故选B。
2.推理判断题。根据“Henry said. ‘Yu knw I’m always running late. I knw every shrtcut in twn.’ The thers finally agreed.”（亨利说。“你知道我总是迟到。我知道城里所有的近路。”其他人最终同意了。）可知团队最后让亨利带路是相信他丰富的经验。故选C。
3.推理判断题。根据“Since the Blue Team left the park, they had wrked ut the first tw clues (线索)”可知最开始的地方是在公园；根据“Lk where yu’ve been, see where yu are. Use yur map wisely and yu’ll be a star!”（看看你去过哪里，看看你在哪里。明智地使用你的地图，你将成为一个明星！）结合图片可知，走过的路线要形成一个五角星，结合“As they watched her drawing lines n the map, everyne understd.”和“They began running back t where they started.”可知比赛的终点线在公园，故选A。
4.推理判断题。根据“‘S…clse…’ Tyler made a face, and they all laughed tgether.”以及“I hpe we’ll be n the same team sn.”可知，艾米在故事的结尾笑了是因为她被当作朋友接受了。故选B。
考向三、说明文
说明文是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等作科学解说的。它既不像记叙文那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，说明文是中考英语阅读理解题中的重点，难点之一。说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度大。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

Peple believe that every wrd has its crrect meaning(s). When we are nt sure, we usually check nline, r turn t ur teachers r dictinaries. But d yu knw hw dictinaries were made in the past?
Dictinary writers first read the imprtant bks f the perid r the subject that the dictinary was abut. As they read, they cpied necessary infrmatin n cards: interesting wrds, cmmn wrds—bth in their daily uses and unusual uses, and als the sentences where they were used. That is t say, the wrds, alng with the uses f each wrd, were cllected. Fr a really big dictinary, millins f such cards were cllected. This task culd last fr years. As the cards were cllected, they were put in alphabetical rder (A—Z). When this was dne, there wuld be several hundred cards fr each single wrd.
Then, t define (定义) a wrd, the dictinary writer placed its hundreds f cards befre him. He read the cards clsely, threw away sme, read the rest again, and divided up the cards accrding t what he thught were the cmmn uses f the wrd. Finally, he wrte the definitins, fllwing the hard-and-fast rule: each definitin must cme frm an example n a certain card in frnt f him.
S, the writing f a dictinary was nt a task f inventing meanings f wrds, but a task f recrding their meanings. The writer f a dictinary was a histrian, nt a law maker.
As time develps, the way f prducing dictinaries has greatly changed. Nwadays, we can use nline dictinaries t. When chsing ur wrds in speaking r writing, we can be guided by the dictinary. Hwever, we cannt be cntrlled by it, because new situatins, new experiences, new inventins, and new feelings, are always pushing us t give new uses t ld wrds.
37. Why did dictinary writers read imprtant bks?
A. T knw mre abut the perid.B. T cllect wrds and their uses.
C. T understand different subjects.D. T learn t use interesting wrds.
38. Which shws the crrect steps f hw dictinaries were made in the past?

A. ①-③-④-②B. ①-②-④-③C. ③-④-②-①D. ③-①-④-②
39. What can we learn frm the passage abut dictinary writing in the past?
A. It shuld be dne by histrians.B. It was a task f inventing and recrding.
C. It was lng-time hard wrk.D. It had t use the law-making rules.
40. What des the writer advise us t d when we chse wrds in cmmunicatin?
A. Be pen t the new uses f wrds.B. Fllw the dictinary strictly.
C. Use nline dictinaries instead.D. Try t create new wrds.
【答案】37. B 38. D 39. C 40. A
【解析】本文主要介绍了过去词典是如何制作的。
37.推理判断题。根据“As they read, they cpied necessary infrmatin n cards: interesting wrds, cmmn wrds—bth in their daily uses and unusual uses, and als the sentences where they were used. That is t say, the wrds, alng with the uses f each wrd, were cllected.”（当他们阅读时，他们把必要的信息抄写在卡片上：有趣的单词，常见的单词——包括日常使用和不常用的单词，以及使用这些单词的句子。也就是说，这些单词以及每个单词的用法都被收集了起来。）可推知词典编纂者要读重要的书籍是为了收集单词及其用法，故选B。
38.细节理解题。根据“As they read, they cpied necessary infrmatin n cards: interesting wrds, cmmn wrds-bth in their daily uses and unusual uses, and als the sentences where they were used.”、“As the cards were cllected, they were put in alphabetical rder (A—Z). ”、“Then, t define (定义) a wrd, the dictinary writer placed its hundreds f cards befre him. He read the cards clsely, threw away sme, read the rest again, and divided up the cards accrding t what he thught were the cmmn uses f the wrd.”、“Finally, he wrte the definitins, fllwing the hard-and-fast rule: each definitin must cme frm an example n a certain card in frnt f him.”可知，过去制作字典首先把有趣单词，日常使用和不寻常使用的常见单词，以及使用它们的句子记在卡片上；然后收集卡片时，按字母顺序（A-Z）排列；其次筛选卡片，根据词典编纂者认为的单词的常用用法将卡片分开；最后是按照硬性规定写下了定义，每个定义都必须来自他面前某张卡片上的一个例子。所以正确的步骤是③-①-④-②。故选D。
39.推理判断题。根据“Fr a really big dictinary, millins f such cards were cllected.”（对于一本真正的大字典来说，收集了数百万张这样的卡片。）可知过去编纂词典是一项长期艰苦的工作。故选C。
40.细节理解题。根据“Hwever, we cannt be cntrlled by it, because new situatins, new experiences, new inventins, and new feelings, are always pushing us t give new uses t ld wrds.”可知作者建议大家在使用词典时不能被它所控制，因为新的情况、新的经历、新的发明和新的感受总是在推动我们对旧词赋予新的用途，也就是接受词汇的新用法。故选A。
考向四 议论文
英语议论文通常为三段式，即“论点、论据、结论”三部份组成。首先借助某一现象引出论点，然后通过一定论据从各个层面上加以推理论证，最后得出结论。议论文体主要考查学生对论点及论据的把握。因此，遇到议论文体时，应采取抓主题句的方法来把握文章主旨，弄清作者的观点。一般来说，作者的论点通常在文章首段被引出，接着是对这一论点的逻辑推理和论证，最后为结论。还应注意的是：在对论点论证的过程中，每一段的首句都是该段的主题句。把握全文论点、弄清论证各段的主题句、理解文章层次、找出中心论点的位置是理解议论文的关键。
一、重视文章标题，找准全文主题句，把握文章主旨。议论文特别注意主题句，往往有总说和分说的关系，主题句往往出现在第一句或最后归纳总结句中。
二、细读文章，注意文章细节理解。与前面做题相同。
三、理解整体语篇，掌握作者意图。议论文一定有作者的观点，要正确把握。

We all enjy being part f a grup—there’s n better wrk than teamwrk, right? Actually, I disagree. Teamwrk can be hard. In fact, it was s difficult that I left my ffice jb and started wrking frm hme n my wn. It’s a much better fit fr me, and it has made me think abut why teamwrk can make ur jbs harder rather than easier.
Persnalities (个性) can make teamwrk difficult. There’s ften smene n the team that puts their needs first. The team ften ges alng with this persn, whse ideas might nt be the best, just the ludest. Just ne difficult persnality can make teamwrk hard. Cmbine (结合) several challenging persnality types, and it’s even harder.
Nt having enugh time tgether can als make teamwrk challenging. Fr example, I was nce n a team where we never had enugh time t meet as a grup. T successfully wrk as a team, yu need time tgether—and lts f it.
A final reasn teamwrk is difficult is because there’s ften n training n hw t wrk n a team. Yu can’t just put peple in a rm and expect them t wrk well with each ther. Yu need t build trust with yur team members. Think f ftball players: They aren’t just given a ball and tld t play. They practice, and they train.
Team can be hard, but wrking alne has its challenges, t. When my cmputer desn’t wrk, I dn’t have an IT persn t turn t. When I have a great idea, I dn’t have anyne t share it with t see if it really is a great idea. Dn’t get me wrng—I still like my team f ne and enjy making all f the imprtant decisins myself. But nw I realize what was wrng with the teamwrk I did in the past and hw gd teamwrk culd be if dne crrectly. And that’s useful infrmatin—because ne day I might want t turn my ME TEAM int a WE TEAM.
12. Why did the writer chse t wrk frm hme n his wn?
A. T keep himself busier.B. T keep himself healthier.
C. T make his jb easier.D. T make his team harder.
13. Which f the fllwing makes teamwrk difficult?
A. Strng persnality.B. Lts f teamwrk time.C. Challenging ideas.D. Clear team rles.
14. What can we learn frm the last paragraph?
A. WE TEAM has hardly any advantages.B. ME TEAM needs a lt f IT engineers.
C. ME TEAM has n challenges fr the writer.D. WE TEAM may be the writer’s chice ne day.
15. What is the purpse f the text?
A. T shw the advantages f teamwrk.B. T tell the imprtance f teamwrk.
C. T intrduce the influence f teamwrk.D. T explain the difficulties f teamwrk.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】本文主要解释了团队合作让工作变得困难的原因。
12.细节理解题。根据“Teamwrk can be hard. In fact, it was s difficult that I left my ffice jb and started wrking frm hme n my wn.”可知，作者选择自己在家工作是因为团队合作太难了，他想让工作更简单。故选C。
13.细节理解题。根据“Persnalities (个性) can make teamwrk difficult.”可知，成员的个性会使团队合作变得困难。故选A。
14.细节理解题。根据“because ne day I might want t turn my ME TEAM int a WE TEAM.”可知，“大家的团队”也许有一天会成为作者的选择。故选D。
15.主旨大意题。根据主旨句“Teamwrk can be hard… and it has made me think abut why teamwrk can make ur jbs harder rather than easier.”可知，本文的目的是为了解释团队合作让工作变得困难的原因。故选D。
考向探究，规律探寻
掌握中考英语阅读理解题的应试技巧，正确地理解和分析问题，考生应从以下几个方面入手：
一、主旨题
文章段落的首句和末句，一般表达文章的主题和段落的中心思想，其他句子只起补充、说明、解释或引申的作用。因此，首先要搜索目标，找出文章及段落中的主题句，了解了它们的含义，就可以顺着提供的主要线索去捕捉文章的相关信息，从而获得解决问题的答案。最有效的办法是找出主题句。主题句一般具有三个特点：
（1）表述的意思通常是总结性的；
（2）句子结构较简单，多数都不采用长、难句的形式；
（3）段落中其他的句子必定是用来解释、支撑或发展主题句所表述的主题思想的。
二、 推断题
推理是在既有信息的基础上得出合乎文章内容的内涵意义，即某一问题、某一观点没有直接表述，而寓意在文章的字里行间，要求通过文中信息分析推出某种符合作者思想、符合文章逻辑的内涵意义。推断则是指通过对文章进行符合逻辑的综合分析，推出文章未直接陈述的言外之意。推断题推断得正确与否，很大程度上取决于是否能正确把握作者潜隐在字里行间的语气及观点。
（1）事实推断。这种推断常常针对某一个或几个具体细节，是比较简单的推断。进行这种推断，要首先在文章中找出据以推断的有关文字，然后加以分析，尤其要悟出字里行间的意思。
（2）指代推断。确定指代词的含义和指代对象是阅读理解题常见的题目。要确定指代词所指代的对象，关键在于对上下文的正确理解。指代名词的指代词，其单复数形式应与被指代的词一致，因此数的形式可作为识别指代对象的第一个辅助标志。
（3）逻辑推断。这类题目往往是要求根据文章所提供的背景、人物的表情、动作和语言来推断出人物的态度或感受。
（4）对作者的意图和态度的推断。这一类考题大都要求学生就作者对论述对象持什么样的态度做出推断，如作者对所陈述的观点是赞同、反对，还是犹豫不定，对记述或描写的人、物或事件是赞颂、同情、冷漠，还是厌恶。作者的这种思想倾向和感情色彩不一定直接表述出来，而往往隐含在字里行间。因此，进行这种推断时，我们既要依靠短文的主题思想作为推力的前提，又要注意作者的措辞，尤其是形容词一类的修饰语。总之，只要平时善于积累，并熟练运用上述解题技巧，初中阅读理解题就将不再是难题。
三、 猜测词义题
阅读短文时，常常会遇到一些生词。这时，考生要沉着、冷静，细心思考。首先要把整段、整篇文章看完。
通过对全篇短文的理解，就有可能猜测出生词的大意。另外，还可以从含有生词句子的上下文，以及句子和段落之间的关系来判断、理解生词以求获得其真正含义。猜测生词的另一种方法是，根据构词法推测。遇到生词后，可从构词法角度分析判断生词。例如： inexpensive一词，其中词根expensive的含义是“贵的”。前缀in是“不”的意思，因此可以猜测此词词义为“不贵的，便宜的”。总之，猜词题可以用到以下技巧（1）. 根据文中的解释（2）. 使用逗号、破折号和括号等（3）. 根据同位语或根据同等关系（4）. 根据语义的转折关系（5）. 根据因果关系（6）. 根据构词法知识 （7）. 根据常识，上下文逻辑
四、 细节理解题。
细节理解题要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解。它们大都是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。有些问题可以在文章中直接找到答案，有些则需要我们在理解的基础上将有关内容系统化才能找到，比如计算、排序、是非判断、图形比较等。
做细节理解题时，不必通篇细看原文，而常常可采取“带着问题找答案”的方法.先从问题中抓住关键性词语。然后以此为线索。要快速地辨认和记忆事实或细节，就要恰当地运用略读及查读的技巧快速在文章中寻找与此问题相关的段落、语句.仔细品味，对照比较.确定答案。
有的细节理解题只要直接辨认不要求读者对客观的事实作出解释或判断，只要求从阅读材料中直接获取信息。同时还要求读者记住重要细节，在必要的时候（做判断、推断或结论的时候）能够准确而迅速地将他们回忆起来。

At the age f twenty-three, Isaac Newtn mved frm Cambridge t his cuntry hme. There, his thughts turned t the prblems f mtin (运动定律). As Newtn himself later tld the stry, he was sitting in the garden ne evening, thinking, when he nticed a falling apple. The apple set him t wndering abut the mvement f falling bjects.
It ccurred t him that the frce which caused fruit t fall frm trees wrked as well at greater distances frm the center f the earth—n tp f buildings r even n tp f muntains. Perhaps, thught Newtn, this same frce reached ut much farther still, even t the mn. Newtn began t search fr a mathematical expressin f his idea.
In 1669, Newtn became a prfessr f mathematics at Cambridge. Three years later, he jined the Ryal Sciety. Befre lng, Newtn began again t study the prblems f mtin. At last, he seemed t have slved the main difficulties, but he did nt publish his findings at nce.

Newtn, hwever, never rested n his fame (名望). He cntinued t wrk and study. In his last years, he nce said t a friend, “I d nt knw what I may appear t the wrld, but t myself I seem t have been nly like a by, playing n the seashre, and nw and then finding a smther pebble (鹅卵石) r a prettier shell, while the great cean f truth lay undiscvered befre me.”

Passage 1
（2023-24·江苏常州期末）
Hw are mvies made? There are many steps t fllw when making a mvie.
A mvie is based n a stry called a script. Sme scripts are taken frm bks which are ften already ppular. A persn wh writes a mvie script is called a screenwriter. Screenwriters write screenplays that nt nly have a stry, but als tell abut each mvie scene. Screenwriters must write and draw pictures. Their pictures shw what the scenes will lk like in the mvie. It des nt matter if screenwriters are nt gd artists. They can write ntes beside each picture. These give mre infrmatin abut each scene. Smetimes writers hire artists t draw fr them.
The screenwriter sends the screenplay ut t mvie cmpanies when it is finished. These cmpanies receive hundreds f screenplays every day. S it is very difficult fr the screenwriter t get the cmpanies t like his stry! If ne cmpany likes it, it will buy and film it!
T make a mvie, there needs t be peple t act in it. Casting actrs can be a lt f fun! This is when the talent agency (经纪公司) matches real peple t the film’s characters. Actrs try ut fr a part in a mvie. Only the best are chsen.
There als needs t be smene t film, r sht the mvie. This is the jb f the directr. Directrs must use the best wrds and images fr each scene.
The directr makes the plan fr shting the mvie. In fact, mvies are nt always sht in rder. Smetimes the end scenes are sht first. This is ften because different places can be used fr each scene. Sme places are nt always pen r able t be used. The directr tells the crew when and where they will sht the scenes.
The mvie lcatin is imprtant, and chsing it can be tricky. Smetimes it takes a lng time t find the right place. Mvie lcatins usually must be large enugh fr the crew t wrk there. That can make them very expensive t use.
A script is chsen, the actrs are hired, and the lcatin is set. The crew and directr are ready nw. It is time t sht the mvie!
44. Why des the passage begin with a questin?

With Alipay and WeChat, cashless (无 现 金 的) payments are nthing new. Nw, China is ging further by encuraging mre peple t use digital (数字的) yuan r e-CNY, a digital currency (货币).
Jiangsu prvince will encurage the use f e-CNY in its educatin system, accrding t a recent plan by the Jiangsu Educatin Department. By December f this year students in Jiangsu will prbably pay tuitin fees (学费), exam fees and receive schlarships (奖学金) in e-CNY. T use e-CNY, peple just need t dwnlad (下载) the e-CNY app and pen an accunt (账户).
“The functins (功能) f e-CNY are exactly the same as thse f the paper currency, except that the frmer is digital,” Mu Changchun, directr f the Peple’s Bank f China’s Digital Currency Research Institute, tld China Daily.
But e-CNY is much safer cmpared t Alipay and WeChat payment. E-cmmerce (电子商务) platfrms that accept payments by e-CNY will nt have access t users’ persnal infrmatin. “Users’ privacy prtectin with e-CNY is at the highest level amng all existing payment tls,” said Mu.
In additin, “the use f e-CNY can reduce transactin (交易) csts fr smaller businesses,” said Zhu Mahua wh wrks at China Everbright Bank. At present, third-party payment platfrms such as Alipay and WeChat ask fr certain fees when mney is transferred (转账) thrugh them. E-CNY payment, hwever, can transfer mney directly frm buyers t sellers, which will greatly reduce transactin csts.
E-CNY has been trialed (试点) in 17 prvinces and cities, such as Suzhu, Shenzhen and Chengdu. China is still wrking t expand (扩大) its usage in mre areas.
41. At the very beginning f the passage, Alipay and WeChat are mentined t ________.

Passage 3
（2023-24·广州天河统考）
We all knw that eating junk fd can make us fat. Hwever, a new study suggests that it can d mre than that－it can als make us lazy.
In the study, researchers divided 32 rats int tw grups. In the first experiment, the first grup was fed a diet f healthy fd such as crn and fish, while the secnd was given a diet rich in sugar and fat, namely “junk fd”.
Within three mnths, the rats in the secnd grup were already much fatter than thse n the healthy diet. And when researchers trained the rats t d simple tasks, they fund even mre differences between the tw grups ther than weight.
During the task—pushing a lever t receive a prize f sugar water—the rats n the junk fd diet were fund t be less willing t mve, and they tk lnger breaks between each push than the fit rats did.
“It is as if the rat is thinking ‘This is t much wrk’,” said the leader f the study.
Accrding t researchers, these differences suggest that junk fd changed the chemistry in the rats’ brains.
The experiments didn’t end there. After six mnths, researchers began the secnd experiment. The rats’ diets were changed, and the verweight rats were given a healthy diet fr nine days. Hwever, this didn’t help reduce their weight r imprve their ability t perfrm tasks. It means the effects f their junk fd diet lasted fr lng. “There’s n quick way t reduce the harm,” researchers said.
Fr a lng time, we’ve believed that peple becme fat because they are lazy. But this study has shwn that the ppsite is true as well. Being lazy and getting fat can g hand in hand.
S, if yu always feel tired, and nt willing t get up frm yur chair, it culd be that yu’ve been studying t hard. But yu shuld als pay attentin t yur diet.

（2023-24·江苏泰州期末考）
Hw lng whales live in fresh water has becme a matter f sme discussin with several visits f whales t fresh water. The interest in this matter first became httest in 1985 when Humphrey the humpback whale (座头鲸) managed several weeks in the fresh water f the Sacrament River befre finally returning t the Pacific Ocean. The matter happened again in May f 2007, when a mther whale and her baby whale entered the Sacrament River.
In general, sme experts say that it is uncmmn t see whales in fresh water fr mre than a few weeks because mst whales are built fr salt water envirnments. Scientists are nt exactly sure hw lng whales can live in fresh water. In fresh water, they can’t get their regular fd. Besides, small cuts, fr example, are easily cured in salt water. Fresh water envirnments d nt prvide materials which are gd fr cuts.
Fresh water envirnments are als nt natural fr a whale’s swimming and diving activities. Mst whales swim in water that is at least 20 feet (6.1 m) deep. Fresh water rivers may be nly a few feet deeper than the girth f a whale’s bdy. This makes them mre likely t be beached.
Many whales are migratry (迁徙的) animals by habit. Since they are nt used t the rute they are taking, whales can easily get lst. Bilgists are certain that few whales in fresh water will survive mre than a mnth. Thugh it may be interesting t see whales in fresh water, it’s a matter f cncern (担心) t whale lvers.
41. What makes the matter hw lng whales live in fresh water be discussed?

C. Whales can’t get small cuts easily in salt water.
D. Few whales in fresh water will survive t lng.
44. What wuld prbably be discussed in the next part?
A. The rute that the whales wuld knw.
B. The actins taken t keep whales in fresh water.
C. The ways t help whales return t their natural envirnments.

（摘自时文精读）
When we think f persnal cmputers (PCs), we ften imagine bulky (笨重的) mnitrs and large screens. As the PC industry faces difficulties, it lks t AI t be its saving grace. What might this “partnership” hld in stre?
Since the birth f the first electrnic cmputer in 1946, the persnal cmputer has been widely used all ver the wrld. Hwever, imprved technlgy and a lnger cmputer lifespan (使用寿命) have reduced peple’s need t get new cmputers as frequently. At the same time, it is mre difficult t innvate in such a stable and fixed manufacturing industry(制造业). This has led t abut tw years f reduced glbal shipments f cmputers, reprted Science and Technlgy Daily.
But Micrsft’s recent mve has stirred things up. It intrduced a new AI Cpilt t Windws 11 PCs at the beginning f 2024, which was seen as a measure t reinvigrate the industry by bringing the pwer f AI int the equatin.
As f Jan 15, Cpilt had already reached a “milestne ” with mre than 5 billin chats and mre than 5 billin images, accrding t Micrsft. It is already capable f perfrming many functins. Whether yu need help t make a summary f a web page, send an email t yur teacher, change yur settings t dark mde, enable Bluetth, r cnnect a new pair f headphnes, Windws’ Cpilt can assist yu.
Apart frm serving as a husekeeper fr yur PC, the new system als has an artistic side. Windw’s cllabratin (合作) with Sun, a leading AI music creatin cmpany, allws peple t easily create unique and beautiful sngs regardless f their musical ability by giving rders like: “Create a pp sng abut a family adventure”.
S nw, the race is n. Chip cmpanies such as NVIDIA and Intel are cmpeting t release a series f new prducts designed fr AI PCs, and Lenv Grup has als launched ver 10 new AI PC prducts, reprted China Ecnmic Net.
Hwever, AI PCs’ capabilities (功能) are still quite basic and far frm accurately (精确地) meeting peple’s persnalized (个性化的) AI assistant needs. The extent t which AI-integrated PCs can deliver intelligent experiences and the level f user acceptance are still subject t (取决于) market testing.

Passage 8
（摘自时文精读）
The Yellw River is knwn as the mther river f the Chinese peple. Hwever, fld (洪水) cntrl and disaster frecasts (灾害预报) f the river have always been challenging fr peple. Nw, scientists can better wrk n these issues by giving the river a digital twin.
The digital twin f the Yellw River uses different kinds f technlgies, including big data, artificial intelligence, and the internet f things. Devices (设备) are set up alng the river and cllect and transmit(传送) infrmatin t the center. Based n the infrmatin, a 3D mdel f the river is shwed n the cmputer screen. It’s like the Yellw River has a twin that reflects its real cnditins.
One big thing in the digital gvernance (治理) f the river is “smart stnes”. Accrding t Wang Qin, a lead researcher at the Infrmatin Center f Yellw River Henan Bureau, a smart stne is a detectr with chips, a battery, and a signal transmitter in it. They are put in imprtant dike (堤坝) lcatins t recrd and reprt the mvement f dike stnes. “On feeling mvement f the dike stnes, the smart stne sends an alarm t the center fr quick respnse,” Wang said.
“In the past, researchers had t learn the cnditins f the dike n the spt by themselves, putting their lives at risk,” said Zha Xiaxing frm the bureau. “Nw the smart stnes can d this fr us, mre safely, quickly, and accurately (精确地).”
In the sky, there are flying drnes. These drnes are designed by engineers t lk at the river ,its dikes and fld preventin prjects. Shen Lin, frm the Yellw River Cnservancy Cmmissin, explains that the drnes prvide researchers at the cmmand center with phts and infrmatin. The researchers use this infrmatin t update a 3D mdel, which helps them test fldwater release plans in case f emergencies.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent systems are helping t prtect the Yellw River Basin n all frnts. Accrding t the Ministry f Water Resurces, in the future, we can expect t see the cnstructin f an even mre cmprehensive digital system fr this imprtant river.

When the famus scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years ld, he imagined himself riding alngside a beam (束) f light. He used this picture in mind t help him when wrking ut the “thery f relativity(相对论)”. “Imaginatin is mre imprtant than knwledge,” said Einstein.
Daydreaming, called “thught experiments” by Einstein, can make yu have wild imaginings, like flying arund in space. It lets yur mind walk slwly arund ideas, memries and experiences that aren’t happening right nw. It means thinking ahead t a hliday r remembering hw much yu enjyed a birthday party.

Passage 9
（2023·北京）
When cnsidering the kind f experience that makes life better, mst peple first think that happiness depends n experiencing pleasure: gd fd, gd jbs, all the cmfrts that mney can buy. If we culdn’t have these, we might as well sit in frnt f the televisin n a quiet evening.
Pleasure is an imprtant part f the quality f life, but by itself it desn’t bring happiness. When peple think further abut what makes a wrthy life, they tend (倾向于) t mve beynd pleasant memries and begin t remember ther events, ther experiences that verlap (有重叠) pleasurable nes but fall int a grup with a separate name: enjyment. Enjyable events take place when peple have nt nly satisfied a need r met sme earlier expectatin, but als achieved smething unexpected.
Enjyment is characterized by a sense f curisity, f achievement. Playing a tennis game that imprves ne’s ability is enjyable, as is reading a bk that shws things in a new light, as is having a cnversatin that leads us t express ideas we didn’t knw we had. Nne f these experiences may be especially pleasurable when they are taking place, but when we think back n them afterwards, we wuld say, “That really was fun” and wish they wuld happen again. After an enjyable event we knw that we have changed, and grwn.
Experiences that give pleasure can als give enjyment, but the tw feelings are quite different. Fr example, everybdy takes pleasure in eating. Hwever, t enjys fd is mre difficult — yu have t pay enugh attentin t a meal, s as t sense and tell its varius tastes. As this example suggests, we can experience pleasure withut any psychic energy, while enjyment happens nly as a result f full attentin. A persn can feel pleasure withut any effrt, as lng as certain parts in his brain are stimulated (刺激). But it’s impssible t enjy a tennis game r a bk withut full attentin. It’s fr this reasn that pleasure des nt last lng, nr des it make us grw. Grwth requires full attentin t gals that are new, that are relatively challenging.
Withut enjyment, life will g n, and it can even be pleasant. But it depends heavily n luck and the external (外部的) envirnment. T achieve persnal cntrl ver the quality f experience, hwever, we need t learn hw t build enjyment int what happens day in, day ut.
30. Yu will mst prbably experience enjyment when yu ________.
A. buy expensive shesB. rder a delicius meal
C. talk with friends fr new ideasD. sit quietly in frnt f a televisin
31. What d yu knw abut pleasure and enjyment frm the passage?
A. Enjyment grws ut f pleasure.
B. Pleasure and enjyment cme hand in hand.
C. Pleasurable experiences are part f enjyable nes.
D. Sme experiences prvide bth pleasure and enjyment.
32. The wrds “psychic energy” in Paragraph 4 are clsest in meaning t ________.
A. attentinB. interestC. abilityD. knwledge
33. The writer prbably agrees that ________.
A. feeling pleasure stps peple frm achieving grwth
B. feeling enjyment cmes with achieving grwth
C. a wrthy life depends n luck and envirnment
D. pleasure is the key t a happy and wrthy life
Passage 10
（2023·江苏徐州）
Free time is a gd chance fr teenagers t have fun. What abut free time with parents arund? Sme teenagers want free play withut parents’ supervisin(监管) while parents and experts(专家) may think differently.

I think we shuld all have electric cars. This wuld cut dwn air pllutin and allw us t breathe better. Cleaner air als means there will be fewer animals dying. Think f all the lives we have lst by destrying ur envirnment.
Sme peple think electric cars are pricey. But their prices are cming dwn. What’s mre, gas csts a lt mre than electricity. Once yu use the gas, it’s gne. Anyway, I think we’re ging t run ut f gas at sme pint. This will make electric cars a need. Als, d yu knw that electric cars can travel 33 miles fr abut a dllar? Yu can’t say that fr gas. All cars shuld be electric!
Sandy, 13 years ld, New Yrk
I dn’t think all cars shuld be electric. First f all, charging statins are less cmmn than gas statins. This makes electric cars a lt less cnvenient fr lng trips. What’s mre, cld weather des harm t the batteries (电池). They can’t wrk well as usual. And electric cars are als mre expensive than cmmn cars. A new electric car usually csts arund $ 11, 000 mre than a new gar car. True, electric cars help slw climate change. But thrwing batteries away can hurt ur planet.
