“Why are yu in class, David?” Mr Wilsn, his maths teacher, asked. “They laughed at my ugly circle,” David replied.
“Ah David,” the teacher said. “It’s nt what’s n the utside that matters. It’s what’s inside. Just like pi (π).”
Mr Wilsn picked up David’s tyre and a big, shiny hula hp.
“Divide the length f the circumference (周长) f this hula hp by its diameter (直径),” Mr Wilsn said. David gt 3.14768. “Great! Nw divide the circumference f yur tyre by its diameter.” David gt 3.1463.
Mr Wilsn smiled. “When we divide the circumference f any circle by its diameter, the number we get is always abut 3.14. This is called pi. Whether it is a shiny hula hp r an ld tyre, yu will find pi.”
David understd what Mr Wilsn was trying t tell him. When it came t the laws f maths, his tyre was just as gd as a shiny hula hp. He realized that circles may appear t be clsed but they had an pen mystery (奥秘) inside them. Then he read a bk abut pi.
In the afternn, he saw a yunger grup f children playing a game at the dartbard.

Passage 5
（24-25初三下·广州第二中学·第三阶段学情反馈）Mst peple ask when my lve fr nature began. I find the questin difficult t answer. As far back as I can remember, nature has simply been part f me. I was lucky t grw up with a supprtive family and a clse cnnectin with nature.
My name is Jane Gdall. I was brn in Lndn, England in 1934. By the time I was ten, I made up my mind that ne day I wuld live with wild animals in Africa. At the time, this dream seemed silly. Scientific careers were nt cnsidered suitable fr girls, and studies f animals in the wild were almst unheard f. The idea was als thught t be dangerus. Yet, even as a child, I knew what I wanted, and I was determined t wrk hard, take every chance, and never give up. I held nt that belief.
Althugh I did well at schl, my family culdn’t affrd t send me t university, s I tk a typing curse and wrked in Lndn. Years later, that practical training turned ut t be quite useful. When a friend invited me t Kenya, I saved enugh mney t g. There, I met Luis Leakey, wh was lking fr a new assistant. My preparatin and lve fr African wildlife earned me nt nly the jb, but als a chance t study chimpanzees in the wild.
The wrk was far frm easy. In the early mnths, the chimpanzees ran away at the sight f me. Then ne f them gradually lst his fear. Thrugh him, I fund smething surprising: he made tls ut f grass stems. At the time, tl-making was cnsidered smething nly humans culd d. This discvery drew wrldwide attentin.
After tw years, Dr. Leakey said he’d gt me a place in Cambridge. What upset me mst was that scientists there said I’d dne everything wrng. I shuldn’t have given the chimpanzees names. I shuldn’t talk abut their persnalities r emtins, either — because at the time, these qualities were believed t be unique (独特的) t humans. Instead f dubting myself, I chse t stand by what I had seen and felt. I knew frm my experience that these animals were far mre cmplex than peple thught. I refused t stay silent abut the truth I had discvered.
Thanks t bth the 98.6% DNA similarity between humans and chimpanzees and my years f careful research n their behavir, the scientists had t give up the lng-held idea that humans are the nly beings wh can feel and experience the wrld. What began as a little girl’s dream grew int a life’s wrk that changed hw we see ur place in nature.

A．Jane’s family was t wrried t send her there.
B．It was nt cmmn fr girls t take up scientific jbs.
C．Scientists had already studied wild animals in Africa.
D．Wild animals there were nt friendly t peple.
2．What can we learn abut the writer’s experience in Cambridge?

B．The writer regretted ging t Cambridge t further her study.
C．Scientists in Cambridge all disagreed with her research findings.
D．The writer stuck t her wn belief and challenged traditinal ideas.
3．Which f the fllwing best describes the writer?
A．Brave and strng-minded.B．Smart and creative.

Passage 1
（2026·广东广州番禺·综合测试）A medical breakthrugh in China is giving new hpe t peple with spinal crd injuries. Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allws paralyzed patients t mve their legs, and even walk again.
The chip, nly 1mm wide, is designed t be fitted int the brain and spinal crd. If the natural cmmunicatin between the brain and muscles is lst, this chip acts as the bridge. When the chips wrk, they create a direct cnnectin between the brain and muscles.
The results have been amazing. A 34-year-ld man, paralyzed after a fall, culd mve his legs just ne day after the peratin n January 8, 2025. Tw weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three ther patients had similar peratins in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even thugh the patients’ nervus systems were damaged, the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s prgress in medical science and it brings hpe fr ver 3.7 millin peple in China.
“This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, said. “With the technlgy, these peple may ne day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 t 5 years f training.”
Behind this achievement is a lng jurney f careful research and bld thinking. It tk the researchers ver 10 years t develp the chip. They tested it n animals first, and then n peple. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they develped a system t recnnect the mind and bdy in ways that nce appeared nly in science fictin.
As the chip cntinues t imprve, it lights a new path frward—ne built n science, shaped by care, and aimed tward a brighter future.

Passage 3
（24-25初三下·广州育才中学·阶段性练习）Have yu ever lked up at a beautiful rainbw when nticing yur friend lking at it? At that mment, bth f yu were fcusing n the same bject and aware f each ther’s attentin. This shared fcus is called jint (共同的) attentin. It depends n scial cues (提示) such as actins r wrds that help tw peple t fcus n the same thing.
When cmpleting tasks r slving prblems, it is ften said that tw heads are better than ne. But what des “better” mean? In ne study, researchers asked pairs f participants (参与者) t cmplete a search task alne and then tgether. They fund that when the participants wrked tgether, they were faster at finding the gal, which researchers suggest is “better” perfrmance.
Yu might be wndering why tw heads are better. Is it simply because yu have anther pair f eyes r because yu divide the task? Well, the answer is bth! Just having anther pair f eyes can make a task easier and faster, s a grup benefit can be fund even if tw peple d nt talk abut the divisin f wrk. By dividing the wrk, yu are mre likely t finish the task faster, thugh ne may wrk a little faster than the ther.
Researchers have als been interested in whether jint attentin imprves memry. They asked participants t remember pictures and fund that when peple believed anther persn was lking at the same picture and ding the same task, they remembered the picture better. S, this suggests that even when peple imagine scial cues, like just thinking smene else is fcusing n the same task, jint attentin can help peple better remember things.
Tday, hwever, many interactins (互动) take place nline. It is imprtant t understand whether nline interactins with thers influence peple’s attentin. Researchers asked participants t cmplete a search task n their hme cmputers, with an imaginary partner. The results shwed that peple were mre accurate (准确的) when they thught they were wrking tgether with a partner, but faster when they thught they were cmpeting with that partner. Interestingly, it did nt matter hw realistic the imaginary partner’s image (形象) was.
All in all, jint attentin is an imprtant part f human interactin that shapes hw peple wrk tgether and hw they remember. By understanding this, we can better recgnise the value f ur interactins.
1．Which f the fllwing best shws the results f the study in Paragraphs 2 and 3?
A．B．
C．D．
2．Which f the fllwing pinins des the writer supprt?
A．Wrking alne makes peple finish tasks faster.
B．Cmpeting with a partner imprves accuracy.
C．The partner’s image realism has little influence.
D．Online interactins are wrse than ffline nes.
3．What can we learn frm the passage?
A．Jint attentin wrks better nline than in the real wrld.
B．Jint attentin depends n hw well peple remember things.
C．Imagining wrking with thers brings abut better perfrmance.
D．Cperatin is mre imprtant than cmpetitin in nline settings.
4．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A．Frm Attentin t PerfrmanceB．The Pwer f Shared Fcus

Passage 4
（2026·广东广州番禺·综合测试）
What is a grassland?
A grassland is a bime (生物群落区) that is cvered with grasses. Grass is everything t a grassland. Grass is fd fr animals. Grass can keep the grassland warm and wet. Grass stps the wind frm blwing away the sil.
There are tw kinds f grasslands. Temperate grasslands are ne kind. Temperate means the envirnment has a mild climate (温和气候) and fur seasns. Temperate grasslands have rich sil. Trpical grasslands are the ther kind. Trpical means the envirnment is near the equatr and is warm all year rund. Trpical grasslands have a rainy seasn and a dry seasn. They usually have mre trees and prer sil than temperate grasslands.
Bth temperate and trpical grasslands have a yearly rainfall f apprximately 25 t 75 centimeters. During the dry seasn, with s little rain, the land can dry ut. Fires can start easily.
What adaptatins (适应性) help grassland plants and animals survive?
Different grasslands have different kinds f grasses. Hwever, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptatins t grwing well in dry cnditins.
Grasses have deep rts. The rts can take in water and keep nutrients (营养). When a fire happens, everything abve grund is destryed. Dwn belw, the rts survive. They hld n t their water and nutrients.
After a fire, new stalks can grw frm the rts. The ld, dead grass becmes part f the sil. Gradually, the sil gets richer and richer.
Mst grasses have adaptatins t grwing frm the rts. This helps them survive and grw after animals eat the tps f the plants.
Trees that grw in trpical grasslands als have adaptatins that help them survive. Fr example, the babab tree grws leaves nly during the wet seasn. It lses its leaves during the dry seasn.
Many kinds f animals live in grasslands. All f them have adaptatins that help them survive. Sme grassland animals have flat teeth fr eating grass. Fr example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite ff the tps f grasses that are difficult t chew.
1．Why des the writer mentin zebras and babab trees in the passage?
A．T cmpare trpical grasslands with temperate grasslands.
B．T explain that different living things have their wn adaptatins.
C．T shw that animals are mre imprtant than plants in grasslands.
D．T prve that all grassland species survive in the same way.
2．What can help grass grw well in dry cnditins?
A．Big fires.B．Deep rts.C．Rich sil.D．New stalks.
3．Which f the fllwing is true?
A．Zebras use flat teeth fr biting ff grasses.
B．After a fire, the grass n the grassland dies frever.
C．The leaves f the babab trees drp during the wet seasn
D．Mst grasses can’t grw after animals eat the tps f the plants.
4．What des this passage mainly talk abut?
A．Fires in the grassland.B．Life in the grassland.

Passage 5
（25-26初三下·广州执信中学·统一练习）Peple frm East Asia tend t have mre difficulty than thse frm Eurpe in telling facial expressins, and a new reprt published nline in Current Bilgy explains why.
Rachael Jack, University f Glasgw researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly acrss a face as Westerners d, Easterners fix their attentin n the eyes.
“We shw that Easterners and Westerners lk at different face features (特征) t read facial expressins,” Jack said. “Westerners lk at the eyes and the muth in equal measure, while Easterners fcus n the eyes and neglect the muth.”
Accrding t Jack and her clleagues, the discvery shws that human cmmunicatin f emtin is mre cmplex (复杂的) than we believed. As a result, facial expressins that were cnsidered universally recgnizable cannt be used t express feelings in crss-cultural situatins.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recgnitin f facial expressins by recrding the eye mvements f 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian peple when they lked at pictures f expressive faces carefully and put them int categries: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, angry, r neutral. Researchers then cmpared hw crrectly they read thse facial expressins using particular eye mvement strategies.
It turned ut that Easterners fcused much greater attentin n the eyes and made many mre mistakes than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye mvements that they shw is prbably a reflectin (反映) f cultural difference in facial expressins,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that while Westerners use the whle face t express feelings, Easterners use the eyes mre and the muth less.”
In shrt, the data shw facial expressins dn’t mean the same emtins everywhere. Learning hw culture shapes these scial skills helps us understand human feelings. Otherwise, when it cmes t cmmunicating emtins acrss cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lst in translatin.
1．What des Jack’s research shw?
A．Westerners pay equal attentin t the eyes and the muth.
B．Facial expressins are similar in crss-cultural situatins.
C．Easterners are better at reading facial expressins.
D．Human cmmunicatin f emtin mainly depends n eyes.
2．What des the underlined wrd “neglect” mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Pay mre attentin t.B．Nt take care f.

（2026·广东广州番禺·综合测试）Dindim is a penguin that travels 5,000 miles every year t visit its rescuer.
On a typical day, ff the cast f a small Brazilian island, Ja Pereira de Suza was heading ut fishing. He fund surprisingly that an il spill had plluted the waters badly. Staring ut at the waves, he decided it was nt a gd day t fish. But walking alng the beach, he fund a struggling penguin, cvered by il and starving. Pereira tk the penguin hme, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back t health. He named it Dindim.
Dindim is a Magellanic penguin, a species knwn fr living in the seas f Suth America. In rder t breed (繁殖), they must return t Patagnia, 8,000 miles away frm Pereira’s hme. Pereira patiently tk Dindim back t the cean and taught him hw t swim again.
Sn enugh, it was time fr Dindim t return t life in the wild. Pereira watched Dindim swim away, believing it wuld be the last time he saw him. But the next June, Dindim returned. The tw shared a tender beak-t-nse greeting, and Dindim stayed fr a mnth, walking heavily and clumsily (笨拙地) arund Pereira’s huse. It was time fr Dindim t leave, and Pereira thught this surely wuld be the last time he wuld see Dindim. But 11 mnths later, the penguin with a lng memry returned again.
It is a cmmn belief amng scientists that animals have shrt memries. S a cuple f them put a tracking device n Dindim t see if it was indeed the same penguin that returned year after year. T their surprise, Dindim returned, year after year, fr mre than a decade.
Lve creates such a deep bnd (纽带) that we can’t always explain it. It’s just smething we feel, smething we lng t prvide. And when we d, it lasts much lnger than we ever expected.

Passage 3
（2026·广东广州花都·二模）In the heart f the Pacific Ocean lies a huge, flating “cntinent” made nt f rck, but f rubbish. Knwn as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, it is a trubling symbl f ur mdern cnsumer culture. This “patch” is nt a slid island yu can walk n. Instead, it is a sup f tiny plastic pieces, fishing nets, and ther waste, spread ver an area f abut 1.6 millin square kilmeters—twice the size f Texas. Hw did it get there, and what can be dne?
Mst f the rubbish cmes frm land, like plastic bags, bttles, and packaging. These items are ften blwn by wind int rivers, which then carry them t the cean. Ocean currents (洋流), like a giant mving belt, slwly pull this waste tgether int ne area. This prcess has been happening fr years. The patch nw has abut 1.8 trillin pieces f plastic, weighing arund 79,000 tns.
The biggest prblem is that plastic des nt break dwn naturally. Instead, sunlight and waves break it dwn int smaller and smaller pieces called micrplastics (微塑料). Abut 94% f the plastic in the patch is micrplastic. These tiny, harmful bits are easily mistaken fr fd by sea creatures, frm tiny fish t huge whales. When a fish eats plastic, the harmful chemicals in the plastic enter its bdy. As larger fish eat these smaller fish, the chemicals travel up the fd chain, finally reaching humans. This causes prblems nt nly fr sea life but als fr human health.
Hwever, there is hpe fr psitive change. The Ocean Cleanup has develped a large flating system designed t cllect plastic frm the patch. The system des nt use nets that may harm sea life; it uses a U-shaped arm that is mved by the wind and waves, naturally cncentrating the plastic. A supprt bat then cmes t cllect the rubbish.
While technlgy ffers a slutin, the mst imprtant changes must happen n land. We shuld reduce ur use f single-use plastics, imprve waste management systems, and use less plastic when making prducts. These are imprtant lng-term plans. As ne scientist says, “We can’t just clean up the mess; we have t turn ff the tap.” The fight against cean plastic is nt just abut cleaning the cean, but abut changing ur habits t avid the prblem in the first place.
1．What is the best title fr the passage?
A．Hw Plastic Reaches the Sea.B．Helping Sea Animals in Danger.
C．A Grwing Prblem in the Ocean.D．A New Way t Cllect Ocean Waste.
2．Why des the flating system prefer t use a U-shaped arm?
A．Because it can wrk withut wind.B．Because it des nt damage cean life.
C．Because it is cheap and easy t build.D．Because it can mve fast in the cean.
3．What des the phrase “turn ff the tap” in the last paragraph suggest?
A．We shuld stp the flw f plastic int the cean.
B．We shuld use less water while cleaning the cean.
C．We shuld invent a better way t recycle plastic.
D．We shuld clse dwn all factries near the sea.
4．Which f the fllwing wuld the writer mst likely agree with?
A．Technlgy ffers the mst imprtant slutin t cean plastic.
B．The cean itself is able t clean up the plastic waste ver time.
C．Cleaning up the cean needs t be dealt with as quickly as pssible.
D．Stpping plastic frm entering the cean is as imprtant as cleaning it.

Passage 1
（2026·广州五中滨江·二模）Imagine yu are taking a lng trip t space with yur pet. Hw d yu bth stay healthy in tugh cnditins such as micrgravity (微重力)?
On Oct 31, 2025, China sent fur mice int space n Shenzhu XXI. This was the first time that China had sent mice int space fr research. Earlier, China had sent ther small animals like zebrafish (斑马鱼) and fruit flies. After the mice returned with the Shenzhu XXI spaceship, preliminary bservatins (初步观察) shwed that the mice adapted well t the micrgravity envirnment. Scientists wuld d mre studies t learn hw space changed the mice’s bdies. This wuld help them knw mre abut space’s influence n living things.
Mice are perfect fr space research because they share genetic (基因的) similarities with humans. And they are small, s they need little rm n the spaceship. What is mre, they grw quickly and live nly abut tw years. Fr example, six mnths in space fr a muse is like mre than ten years fr a human. This allws scientists t learn abut lng-term space effects n humans in just mnths, rather than years.
Internatinally, sending animals t space began in the late 1940s. At first, scientists wanted t see if life culd survive in space. Tday, studies break new grund — their fcus is nt just n survival, but als n illnesses n Earth. Fr example, they have fund a way t slw bne (骨头) lss and help new bnes grw. This useful discvery nt nly helps astrnauts stay healthy in space, but als gives hpe t peple with bne prblems n Earth.
Als, if peple live n ther planets ne day, we can’t live withut animals. Besides being friends, animals help keep nature in rder. T make this pssible, scientists will carry ut mre space animal studies in the cming years, trying t slve mre prblems and make space travel safer fr all living things.
1．When did China send fur mice int space?
A．In the late 1940s.B．On Oct 31, 2025.C．On Nv 14, 2025.D．We dn’t knw.
2．Why are mice perfect fr space research?
①They share genetic similarities with humans.
②They are small and need little rm.
③They grw quickly and live a shrt life.
A．①②B．①③C．②③D．①②③
3．What des the underlined phrase “break new grund” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Avid mistakes in research.B．Make new discveries.
C．Share ideas with ther grups.D．Use ld ways t slve prblems.
4．What will prbably be talked abut next?
A．Plans fr future space animal research.B．Results f past space animal research.

Passage 2
（24-25初三下·广州育才中学·阶段性练习）Have yu ever imagined a garbage burning factry des nt have enugh rubbish t burn? In sme cities, this is becming true.
In the past, peple made t much rubbish. Cities built waste-t-energy factries t burn rubbish and make electricity. But nw, sme factries get less daily husehld waste. They are becming “hungry”. This is actually gd news fr us.
Why des this happen? Because waste recycling wrks well tday. Peple srt their rubbish carefully; kitchen waste can be made int fertilizer (肥料), while plastic, paper, glass and metal can be used again. There is less leftver rubbish t burn. Besides, peple learn t cut dwn waste and reuse things in daily life.
Even s, waste-t-energy factries are still useful. Here is hw they wrk:
* Arriving: Trucks put rubbish int a big strage area. A machine mixes it up.
* Reacting: Then the rubbish ges int a ht ven with a temperature ver 850°C． ▲ Heat causes a burning reactin here. Natural waste such as fd, paper and wd reacts with xygen (O2), breaking dwn t give ff heat, carbn dixide (CO2) and water vapr (H2O). The high-pressure vapr makes a machine called a turbine (涡轮) run fast. The fast-mving turbine is cnnected t anther machine t make electricity.
* Cleaning the smke: Befre smke ges int the air, cleaners make it clean. Abut 90% f the waste at the beginning is gne. The ash (灰) left can be used fr building huses, and metal in the ash can be cllected and recycled again.
Right recycling is the mst useful way t prtect ur hme. The future will be a greener wrld where n waste is left useless.
1．What can peple d with kitchen waste accrding t the passage?
A．It can be made int fertilizer.B．It can be sld fr mney.
C．It can be kept in strage frever.D．It can be used t clean water.
2．Which sentence can be put int ▲ in Paragraph 6?
A．This is where math is recrded!B．This is where chemistry happens!
C．This is where physics takes cntrl!D．This is where bilgy starts wrking!
3．Why are the gd and bad pints included in the passage?
A．Because they shw the writer’s persnal feelings.
B．Because they tell readers what t d immediately.
C．Because they give a balanced and cmplete pinin.
D．Because they make the passage lnger and easier t read.
4．What is the writer’s main purpse in writing this passage?
A．T warn peple nt t build rubbish-burning factries.
B．T teach students hw t srt kitchen waste at hme.
C．T explain hw a turbine wrks t make electricity.
D．T intrduce garbage factries and ways t deal with waste.

Q1: What d astrnauts d n the Internatinal Space Statin every day?
Answer: They d a lt! They g n space walks, repair things, d experiments and cmmunicate with Earth. But t much wrk isn’t gd fr anyne and we all need a little fun! Astrnauts play games, watch mvies and listen t music n it. If they get stressed, they relax by enjying the views f ur beautiful planet frm space.
Q2: Hw much exercise d astrnauts d?
Answer: Well, quite a lt. Take the astrnaut Kichi Wakata fr example. He lived n the ISS fr 188 days and wrked ut fr at least tw hurs every day. Sme astrnauts g jgging! Alan Shepard played mn glf in space. British astrnaut Tim Peake even ran a marathn in space in 2016 and set a Guinness Wrld Recrd.
Q3: Des the bdy change in space?
Answer: Yes, it des. Everything in space flats. Imagine sneezing (打喷嚏) in space! This means it’s easy t lift things. Astrnauts train a lt n Earth, but their bdies get weak if they dn’t d enugh exercise. And this can happen in just a few weeks! These are nly a few examples f the prblems astrnauts can have. Their muscles and hearts lse strength and their bnes get weaker. Smetimes, when they get back t Earth, they’re nt strng enugh t walk! The answer is exercise and nt just a little exercise but a lt!
Q4: When and hw d astrnauts sleep?
Answer: Gd questin. We all need t get enugh sleep, but in space, with 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every 24 hurs, that’s nt easy. T many changes frm day t night make it difficult t knw when t sleep. S astrnauts have very strict rutines and wear special blindflds t keep frm light.
