（2024·福建·中考真題）Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered.
So why do we know so little about the deep sea Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可駕駛的潛水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4, 700 species (物種) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.
Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult Well, at greater depths it is freezing (極冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface.
Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.
1．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce how important oceans are.
B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out.
C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth.
D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans.
2．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea
A．High technology. B．Unknown species.
C．A pleasant environment. D．Valuable information.
3．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Sea animals. B．The seas. C．The satellites. D．Many scientists.
4．What can we learn from the text
A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B．The seas have a strong influence on our future.
C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think.
5．What could be the best title of the text
A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea
C．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future

（2025·福建廈門·模擬預測）As we know, eating vegetables is good for us. Why do some people like them but others don’t A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.
People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it affect a person watching them A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted.
The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less. However, the opposite (相反的) was not true. When someone had a smile while eating broccoli, people watching them did not like broccoli more.
By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. In this way, people can protect themselves from eating something bad or dangerous.
The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.
How does the behavior of adults influence children’s choices of food The team said they hope to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.

The lion dance is an important art form in China. It is performed at many festivals, especially during Chinese New Year. It’s thought to bring good luck and it is a way to create a happy mood.
The dance is often performed by two artists dressed in a lion costume. The one in the front is the head and front limbs. The one behind is the back and hind legs. As the dance involves many difficult movements, the artists need to practice kung fu to perform it well.
The lion dance was the most popular during the Tang Dynasty, when it was one of the court dances. But its history dates back longer. Historical records show that it was being performed as early as the Han Dynasty.
The dance’s origin (起源) is not certain. One story relates it to war: an emperor dreamed of a strange animal after a battle. It was fierce (兇猛的) but didn’t look like a tiger. Therefore, he asked people to make this animal out of paper, cloth and bamboo. The “lion models” were used in the future battles to encourage soldiers. Another says that a tribute (貢品) lion to Emperor Zhang of Han was killed in the court by two servants because it was so fierce and difficult to control. To avoid being punished, the two servants dressed up as the lion and copied its behavior. They performed so well that the emperor never doubted that it was a fake (假的) lion.
Throughout history, two types of lion dances developed, the northern and the southern. The northern one looks more real and uses lively leg movements, while the southern one is dragon-like and has lively performances with drums and gongs. Whichever form it takes, it stands for power and wisdom in Chinese culture.

A．The lion dance was more popular in the past.
B．The lion dance is meaningful to Chinese people.
C．It’s easy for the artists to perform the lion dance well.
D．People like the northern lion dance better than the southern one.

（2025·福建漳州·一模）According to the NIH, about 8% of people have a “specific phobia (恐懼)”. That means it is normal to be afraid of things that can hurt you and when a fear is excessive (極端的), it becomes a phobia. Is it possible for you to face your fears and beat your phobia or just try to stay away from it A new study proves (證明) that facing your fears really works.
In the study, people with spider phobia went through a single two-hour “exposure therapy (暴露療法)”, and they learned that the spider wasn’t as fearful as they thought. During the two-hour therapy, the participants (參與者) first used a paintbrush to touch the live spider, then they used a gloved hand, and finally they touched it with their bare hands.
In the process, the participants’ brain changes were seen and the effect lasted for six months, according to Katherina Hauner, the leader of the study.
The study also showed how the participants’ brains replied to fear and what happened when they got over their phobia. Right after the therapy, the participants’ brains, which were believed to control their fear reactions, were not so active.
Hauner says the study gives us a fact that exposure therapy works and a similar method can be used on people with fears of heights, flying, blood and more. So the new form of therapy may be the first step to completely getting rid of fears and phobias from our brains in the near future.

（2025·福建泉州·一模）Probably the biggest change to hit the working world in recent years has been generative AI (生成型人工智能). A report showed that 85% of workers could see at least 10% of their tasks affected by AI in some way. And how can students make sure their skills stay valuable in a world that feels like it’s being taken over by computers Here are the experts’ suggestions.
Work on your people skills. AI can summarize (總結) an article and program a computer, but it can’t win over a customer or stop a fight. So, try to get experience in jobs where you work with people — including difficult people! You could do this by working as a waiter or volunteering at a nursing home.
Learn lots of things, or become an expert. If you have just one skill, you could be in trouble if AI gets really good at it. So students should consider taking extra (額外的) courses besides their main study courses. If you do focus on (關注) one area, just ensure you know more about it than AI does!
Show you can do big, creative things AI can’t do. While AI can do long, boring tasks like comparing lots of information, it doesn’t push companies to develop new ideas or improve. And even if AI does the boring work, humans will still be needed to organize the projects in which AI is used.
Develop adaptability. We can’t know for certain what the world of work will look like in the future — so the best skill to develop may be adaptability. You can make yourself better at this by looking for new experiences, like studying abroad or even taking courses, which force you to change to get used to new situations!
The future of work with AI is challenging. But students can change and succeed. With AI’s help, you can learn more efficiently and solve problems more easily Face the difficulties and work hard, and you’ll make the journey into the AI-driven future be a step towards a better life.
1．What can AI do according to the text
① summarize an article ② program a computer
③ win over a customer ④ stop a fight
A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④
2．Why should students consider taking extra courses
A．To develop people skills. B．To drop their main courses.
C．To focus on one area. D．To avoid being replaced by AI.
3．Which of the following shows “adaptability” in Paragraph 5
A．Tom invented a human-like robot. B．Sam organized a successful party.
C．Tina made few friends in the club. D．Mary fit in well at her new school.
4．How does the writer feel about the future work with AI
A．Doubtful. B．Satisfied. C．Hopeful. D．Worried.

A．The importance of AI in students’ life. B．How students can protect their futures from AI.
C．The challenges AI brings to students. D．What changes students will face in the future.
【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．B
【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了生成型人工智能 (AI) 對工作世界的巨大影響，并給出了專家對學生如何確保自己技能在未來保持優勢的建議。

3．推理判斷題。根據第三“People aren’t used to carrying umbrellas. Instead, they might put on their hats, jackets, or rush on rainy days.”可知，作者先指出在一些西方國家人們不習慣帶傘，然后舉例說明他們在雨天的做法：戴上帽子、穿上夾克，或者在雨天趕路；接著又舉例說明在英國雨傘的特殊意義和相關行為，所以作者是通過舉例子的方式來展開這一段的。故選A。
4．推理判斷題。根據第四段“Whether to take an umbrella or not is more about cultural habits and lifestyle choices... So, the next time it rains, why not try something new Reach for an umbrella and stroll through the street, or jump in puddles and play in the rain. Either way, it’s sure to be a wonderful experience.”可知，是否帶傘更多的是關于文化習慣和生活方式的選擇，雨天是享受生活的機會，建議人們可以嘗試在雨天打傘散步或跳進水坑；據此可以推斷，在雨中尋找樂趣是一種享受生活的方式。故選B。
5．最佳標題題。文章主要對比了不同國家的人在雨天的不同習慣，包括中國和一些西方國家，重點在于闡述不同文化背景下人們的雨天習慣；選項A“跨文化的雨天習慣”適合作為文章的標題。故選A。

（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）Whenever you walk past a cafe, you might take interest in the coffee because of its delicious smell. But when you try this dark drink you will regret it, because it tastes like Chinese medicine. Our senses are mismatched because of the “second sense of smell” according to The Telegraph.
“We have two senses of smell,” explained Barry smith, professor of the University of London. “One is when you breathe in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed out through the nose.”
When we drink coffee, for example, the act of swallowing (吞咽) sends the smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain. As a result, it gives us a different feeling.
In fact, the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experience. It may be common sense that we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue. But the truth is 80% of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch a very small part of the flavor (味道).
However, ▲ . Durians (榴蓮) and some cheeses are examples. “Think of a piece of cheese with an unpleasant smell,” Smith said. “It smells like the inside of a teenager’s training shoe. But once it’s in your mouth, and you are experiencing the smell through the nose in the other direction, it is delicious.”
So far, scientists have only found two flavors that smell the same no matter how they enter the nose—chocolate and lavender.
1．Why do some good-smelling things taste so bad
A．Because our two senses of smell work differently.
B．Because different people have different tastes.
C．Because not all flavors have influences on us.
D．Because our sense of taste often lies to us.
2．Which picture shows the “second sense of smell” according to the passage
A． B． C． D．
3．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4
A．To show us the importance of the sense of taste.
B．To explain what the second sense of smell is.
C．To ask us to pay more attention to the use of the tongue.
D．To tell us most of taste actually reaches us through smell.
4．We can put ________ in the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 5.
A．the second sense of smell sometimes doesn’t work at all
B．people think that most of food with strong smell tastes terrible as well
C．things that smell good often taste bad because of the second sense of smell
D．the mismatch between our two senses of smell sometimes has pleasant results
5．Which question is answered in the passage
A．When is the best time for people to drink coffee
B．What is the best way to drink freshly-made coffee
C．Why does something that smells good taste bad
D．How can we change the smell of delicious food
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．C
【導語】本文主要介紹了第二嗅覺的作用。
1．細節理解題。根據“…the act of swallowing (吞咽) sends the smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain. As a result, it gives us a different feeling.”可知，因為我們兩種嗅覺的作用是不同的，這使得好聞的東西嘗起來很糟糕。故選A。
2．細節理解題。根據“When we drink coffee, for example, the act of swallowing sends the smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain”可知，當我們喝咖啡時，吞咽的動作會把氣味從嘴巴里送到鼻子后面。這喚醒了我們大腦中的第二種嗅覺，B圖片符合，故選B。
3．推理判斷題。根據“But the truth is 80% of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell.”可知，第四段的核心內容是告訴我們“其實我們大部分的‘味道感受’是通過嗅覺獲得的”。因此寫這一段的目的在于說明“絕大部分味道其實來自于嗅覺”，故選D。
4．推理判斷題。根據后文Smith說的“It smells like the inside of a teenager’s training shoe. But once it’s in your mouth, and you are experiencing the smell through the nose in the other direction, it is delicious.”可知，聞的時候不好聞，但是放在嘴里很美味，這給了人們愉快的體驗，所以D選項“我們兩種嗅覺的不匹配有時會帶來愉快的結果”放在此處最合適。故選D。
5．細節理解題。根據“Whenever you walk past a cafe, you might take interest in the coffee because of its delicious smell. But when you try this dark drink you will regret it, because it tastes like Chinese medicine.”可知，這句話告訴我們為什么有些東西聞起來好聞，嘗起來很糟糕，因此文章中回答了“為什么好聞的東西嘗起來不好”這個問題。故選C。
（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）As someone who’s been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰凍果露) last night,” would you understand what they meant Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.
The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.”
So, what exactly is meant by “tribe” A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe. This is a group that defines (定義) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it. If you work in a certain industry-education, for example, you may use slang words (俚語) and acronyms (首字母縮略詞) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark in the city, which only locals would understand.
These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground “ballroom” (舞廳) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and its language were showed in the 2018 FX show Pose.
These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” —meaning “to be in a conflict (沖突) ” —was made popular by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.
As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.”
1．The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used ________.
A．to prove that English is hard to learn
B．to explain the meaning of tribes
C．to teach readers how to communicate with London taxi drivers
D．to show the languages of tribes are often difficult to understand
2．According to this passage, what does “tribe” refer to
A．All members of a family. B．Workers in a certain company.
C．A group or class of people. D．People living in the same city.
3．What can we know about “secret languages”
A．They mostly came from musical cultures.
B．Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.
C．They first started in London in the 1980s.
D．They have failed to become popular among young people.
4．What is Dent’s attitude towards the future of secret languages
A．Confident. B．Worried. C．Uninterested. D．doubtful.
5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (①= Paragraph 1)
A．①②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①②/③④⑤/⑥ D．①②/③④/⑤⑥
【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．C
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。主要講述各地的不同群體都有自己獨特的語言。
1．推理判斷題。根據文章開頭所舉例子“A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰凍果露) last night,”以及后面的解釋“A customer left some money in my cab last night.”可知，這個例子是為了說明不同群體（部落）有自己的“秘密語言”，外人很難理解，也就是為了表明部落的語言常常難以理解。故選D。
2．詞義猜測題。根據文中“This is a group that defines (定義) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own ‘secret language’”可知，“tribe”指的是一群人或一個群體。故選C。
3．細節理解題。根據文中“Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary.”可知，一些來自“秘密語言”的詞匯在日常對話中很流行。故選B。
4．推理判斷題。根據文中“As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, ‘We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.’”可知，Dent認為部落語言充滿魅力且不會枯竭，說明她對部落語言的未來很有信心。故選A。
5．篇章結構題。文章第一、二段通過舉例引出“部落”和“部落語言”的話題；第三、四、五段分別介紹了“部落”的含義、“秘密語言”的歷史以及“秘密語言”的傳播情況；第六段通過記者的話表明作者對部落語言未來的看法。結構①②/③④⑤/⑥符合。故選C。
（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said.
Numbers are beautiful
Many people today want to have beautiful looks. There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (測量) the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.
Curves (曲線) are beautiful
“Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” (正切曲線) is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (沖) down three thousand feet from on high”.
Formulas (公式) are beautiful
There are some amazing formulas. Take the Pythagorean theorem for instance: in a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Isn’t that fascinating As the Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen once said, “it is truly enjoyable!”
1．If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________.
A．it has a golden color B．it only happens in human bodies
C．it looks like a human body D．it might bring people a sense of beauty
2．Why does the writer mention Li Bai and his poems in the passage
A．To introduce the topic. B．To support his opinion.
C．To share the beauty of Li Bai’s poems. D．To offer advice on learning math.
3．What does a tangent curve look like
A．B．C． D．
4．What does the underlined word “equals” probably mean
A．show B．matches C．gives D．makes
5．What is the passage mainly about
A．Why math is beautiful and fun. B．Why math is difficult and boring.
C．How we can learn math in a right way. D．How math helps us live a better life.
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．A

This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.”可知，如果人體的分割比例是0.618，說明這具身體是富有美感的；而在自然、音樂和繪畫中，處處可見黃金比例，由此推知，如果一個事物是黃金比例，那么這個事物可以帶給我們美感。故選D。
2．細節理解題。根據“In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote...all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.”可知，作者提到李白的詩歌，是為了展示詩歌中的數字美，即支持自己的觀點。故選B。
3．細節理解題。根據“‘Tangent curve’ (正切曲線) is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, ‘dashing (沖) down three thousand feet from on high’.”可知，“正切曲線”如瀑布，正如李白所言，“飛流直下三千尺”，結合選項可知，B項符合。故選B。
4．詞句猜測題。根據“in a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides”及常識可知，在直角三角形中，兩直角邊的平方和等于斜邊的平方，所以劃線部分的含義是“等于”，B項符合。故選B。
5．主旨大意題。根據“Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said.”并通讀全文可知，本文詳細介紹了數學中的美感和趣味性，A項符合。故選A。
（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）On December 29, 2024, two samples of the CR450 high-speed train were shown in Beijing. This wonderful train can reach a test speed of 450 kilometers per hour and an operating speed of 400 km/h. When it starts to be used for business, it will be the quickest high-speed train in the world, much faster than the CR400 that runs at 350 km/h.
The China State Railway Group, which made this train, said that the CR450 has set new global standards in many important parts like speed, using less energy, making less noise, and braking performance. Even though it goes at a higher speed, its braking is as good as the 350 km/h trains. This is because of the great engineering that keeps the train safer at high speeds than other vehicles.
The CR450 also cares a lot about making passengers feel comfortable. By using good noise-cutting technology, the inside of the train is quieter than that of the 350 km/h trains. Also, What’s more, its running resistance (阻力) has been decreased by 22% and its weight has been reduced by 10%, which helps to save energy. The inside has been made again, with 4% more room, and there are better places to put luggage (行李) .
Since 2012, China’s railway has made many new things, like the Fuxing high-speed train, and has built a whole high-speed rail technology system. The CR450 shows China’s ability to make new things and its science power. It also shows the good points of China’s system, which helps the railway grow.

（2025·福建泉州·一模）Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade ways. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration.
In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潛水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潛艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋鉆探船) can now be added to the list.
Human beings actually don’t know much about the ocean. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969,a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. Even more shocking Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown Part of the answer is that it’s difficult to explore. Sure, it’s hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough to sec anything is no easy task.
That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趨勢).
Most of our knowledge of the ocean comes from shallower waters (淺水區域), but deeper waters are becoming more important. Many fisheries are built in deep waters. The deep ocean also holds huge of oil, gas, metals and so on.
1．Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past
A．They didn’t think it’s worth the risk. B．They didn’t have high-level technology.
C．They had no need to explore the deep sea. D．They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters.
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists.
B．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade.
C．China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology.
D．China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters.
3．Why does the writer mention space in the text
A．To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B．To show the necessity of space exploration.
C．To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D．To prove the importance of space exploration.
4．The underlined word “task” refers to ________.
A．inventing a new light B．seeing the things in space
C．getting a spaceship into space D．sending a bright enough light down
5．What can we get from the text
A．Our understanding of the ocean is less than we thought before.
B．The ocean coverage is the largest and we have explored most of it.
C．More resources come from the shallow waters than from deeper ones.
D．Three times more people dived into the ocean than walked on the moon.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A
【導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要講述了海洋探索的相關內容。
1．細節理解題。根據“In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潛水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潛艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before.”可知，近年來新技術使深海潛水更容易，以前科學家無法到達深海是因為沒有高水平的技術，故選B。
2．細節理解題。根據“China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel(大洋鉆探船) can now be added to the list.”并結合前文提到新技術助力海洋探索可知，中國的大洋鉆探船是新技術的體現，說明中國在海洋探索技術方面取得了很大進步，故選C。
3．細節理解題。根據“Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969,a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point.”可知，作者提到太空是為了對比，顯示出相比太空，人類對深海了解更少，突出海洋探索的難度，故選C。
4．詞義猜測題。根據“The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough to see anything is no easy task.”可知，“task”指的是在深海中讓光線足夠亮以便看到東西，也就是把足夠亮的光送到深海，故選D。
5．細節理解題。根據“Human beings actually don’t know much about the ocean. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored.”可知，我們對海洋的了解比我們之前認為的要少，故選A。

Badminton is a popular sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. But many badminton lovers complain they can’t afford to play badminton because of the surprising price rise of shuttlecocks. What has led to the price growth
Shuttlecock makers say the simple reason for this is the growing prices of the feathers of ducks and geese. Duck and goose numbers in China have gone down since 2020, increasing the price. According to Yangcheng Evening News, the numbers of ducks and geese kept were 4.218 billion and 515 million in 2023, separately. However, the numbers were 4.878 billion and 634 million in 2019.
Also, only feathers from certain kinds of ducks or geese are hard enough and can be used to make shuttlecocks. One shuttlecock needs 16 feathers, but one goose or duck can only provide up to 14 such feathers.
At the same time, making shuttles is not a simple task. The feathers need to be cleaned, whitened, and disinfected (給……殺菌). This is to keep them clean and make sure the shuttle stays hard. Next, a machine puts the feathers into the shuttlecock’s head. The shuttlecock is then glued, stitched (縫合) and tested. This already makes shuttlecocks expensive, so the price increase is even more difficult to bear.
Since feather shuttlecocks are expensive, can we use man-made ones instead Carbon fiber (碳纖維) shuttles are one choice. They are about 10yuan each, and they last longer and fly better. However, controlling them during hits is much harder compared to natural ones. So, many players are not ready to say goodbye to feather shuttlecocks just yet. Even spending more money on shuttlecocks can’t stop them from loving badminton.
1．How does the writer lead in the topic of the text
A．Telling a story. B．Listing numbers.
C．Asking a question. D．Giving examples.
2．Which picture shows the change of ducks and geese in number from 2019 to 2023
A． B．
C． D．
3．Which shows the correct order of making shuttlecocks
① put the feathers into the shuttlecock’s head ②disinfect
③ glue and stitch ④ test ⑤ clean and whiten
A．③①④⑤② B．⑤②①③④ C．⑤①④③② D．②①③⑤④
4．According to the text, what might many players do after the price increase
A．They might choose other sports instead.
B．They might give up badminton to save money.
C．They might say goodbye to natural shuttlecocks.
D．They might continue to use feather shuttlecocks.
5．What can be the best title for the text
A．Changes in Badminton Production B．The Most Popular Sport--Badminton

（2024·福建·中考真題）Though oceans cover about 71 percent of the earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20 percent of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80 percent is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91 percent of sea animals have yet to be discovered.
So why do we know so little about the deep sea Well, getting to those depths is very difficult and requires high technology that simply didn’t come into being for most of human history. The first navigable submarine (可駕駛的潛水艇), for example, was built in 1620, and it couldn’t go more than five meters below the surface. In fact, for a long time many scientists didn’t even think that there could be any life at depths greater than 550 meters and didn’t see much need to explore (探索) the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 meters below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, around 4, 700 species (物種) unknown before from the ocean floor were discovered.
Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea, including satellites. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult Well, at greater depths it is freezing (極冷的), everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface.
Though we have the difficulties, it’s important that we understand the seas. They help control the earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen (O2) in the air. They can also provide us with information about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface.
1．Why are some numbers listed in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce how important oceans are.
B．To discuss why sea animals have yet to be found out.
C．To explain that oceans cover a large area of the earth.
D．To show that we have only a little understanding of oceans.
2．What caused the change of exploration into the deep sea
A．High technology. B．Unknown species.
C．A pleasant environment. D．Valuable information.
3．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to
A．Sea animals. B．The seas. C．The satellites. D．Many scientists.
4．What can we learn from the text
A．It is difficult to build a navigable submarine. B．The seas have a strong influence on our future.
C．The seas have no lives at a depth of 550 meters. D．It is easier to go into the deep sea than we think.
5．What could be the best title of the text
A．Hidden Treasures in Deep Sea B．Unlocked Secrets of Deep Sea
C．Deep-Sea Exploration: Into the Freezing Depths D．Deep-Sea Exploration: The Past and the Future

It was reported in May 2024 that the China Wildlife Conservation Association (CWCA,中國野生動物保護協會) will send giant pandas Yun Chuan and Xin Bao to the San Diego Zoo in the United States, which is a symbol of a new 10-year period of international conservation partnership. The CWCA has organized experienced caretakers and doctors to go with the pandas to the US. The zoo is getting ready to provide the pandas with a larger and more comfortable living environment. It has also formed a team with special skills related with panda care, daily nursing, and scientific research.
The cooperation (合作) between the CWCA and the San Diego Zoo dates back to 1996 when Bai Yun and Shi Shi became the first pair of pandas to live in the zoo. Giant pandas Hua Mei, born in 1999, and Mei Sheng, born in 2003, who used to live there, are the result of China-US giant panda research cooperation. Over the past twenty years, the two sides have cooperated and solved many technical problems, including important discoveries in key areas like panda raising.
Since the 1990s, China has cooperated on giant panda conservation with 20 countries. “International cooperation in fields such as disease prevention and control, treatment, and wild training and reintroduction to the wild, has achieved good results. Giant pandas will facilitate communication between peoples and let people around the world know China better,” said Li, the leader of the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda.

（2025·福建廈門·模擬預測）As we know, eating vegetables is good for us. Why do some people like them but others don’t A new study has found that other people’s likes and dislikes could be a reason. According to the research, people who eat vegetables and show a clear dislike for them can influence others.
People may make facial expressions (面部表情) when eating. How does it affect a person watching them A team of scientists in the UK did a study. They asked more than 200 young women to watch videos of other adults eating broccoli. The people in the videos had different expressions while eating. They would smile, seem neutral (neither happy nor sad), or look disgusted.
The study found that when people in the videos look disgusted while eating broccoli, people watching them began to like broccoli less. However, the opposite (相反的) was not true. When someone had a smile while eating broccoli, people watching them did not like broccoli more.
By watching others, humans learn which behaviors will be good for them. Scientists believe that people might avoid food that looks terrible. In this way, people can protect themselves from eating something bad or dangerous.
The research focused only on adults, but the team believe that the results could also work for children. This means, if children see their parents not enjoying certain foods, including vegetables, they might not want to eat them either.
How does the behavior of adults influence children’s choices of food The team said they hope to understand more about it. This could help find ways to encourage children to eat more healthy foods.

C．the influences of parents’ behavior
D．the ways to produce healthy foods
5．What is the best title of the text
A．Videos affect choices of food
B．Studies on vegetables help a lot
C．Expressions prevent possible dangers
D．Opinions on vegetables influence others

The lion dance is an important art form in China. It is performed at many festivals, especially during Chinese New Year. It’s thought to bring good luck and it is a way to create a happy mood.
The dance is often performed by two artists dressed in a lion costume. The one in the front is the head and front limbs. The one behind is the back and hind legs. As the dance involves many difficult movements, the artists need to practice kung fu to perform it well.
The lion dance was the most popular during the Tang Dynasty, when it was one of the court dances. But its history dates back longer. Historical records show that it was being performed as early as the Han Dynasty.
The dance’s origin (起源) is not certain. One story relates it to war: an emperor dreamed of a strange animal after a battle. It was fierce (兇猛的) but didn’t look like a tiger. Therefore, he asked people to make this animal out of paper, cloth and bamboo. The “lion models” were used in the future battles to encourage soldiers. Another says that a tribute (貢品) lion to Emperor Zhang of Han was killed in the court by two servants because it was so fierce and difficult to control. To avoid being punished, the two servants dressed up as the lion and copied its behavior. They performed so well that the emperor never doubted that it was a fake (假的) lion.
Throughout history, two types of lion dances developed, the northern and the southern. The northern one looks more real and uses lively leg movements, while the southern one is dragon-like and has lively performances with drums and gongs. Whichever form it takes, it stands for power and wisdom in Chinese culture.
1．What does the underlined word “involves” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Joins. B．Chooses. C．Includes. D．Accepts.

（2025·福建漳州·一模）According to the NIH, about 8% of people have a “specific phobia (恐懼)”. That means it is normal to be afraid of things that can hurt you and when a fear is excessive (極端的), it becomes a phobia. Is it possible for you to face your fears and beat your phobia or just try to stay away from it A new study proves (證明) that facing your fears really works.
In the study, people with spider phobia went through a single two-hour “exposure therapy (暴露療法)”, and they learned that the spider wasn’t as fearful as they thought. During the two-hour therapy, the participants (參與者) first used a paintbrush to touch the live spider, then they used a gloved hand, and finally they touched it with their bare hands.
In the process, the participants’ brain changes were seen and the effect lasted for six months, according to Katherina Hauner, the leader of the study.
The study also showed how the participants’ brains replied to fear and what happened when they got over their phobia. Right after the therapy, the participants’ brains, which were believed to control their fear reactions, were not so active.
Hauner says the study gives us a fact that exposure therapy works and a similar method can be used on people with fears of heights, flying, blood and more. So the new form of therapy may be the first step to completely getting rid of fears and phobias from our brains in the near future.
1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指代)

（2025·福建泉州·一模）Probably the biggest change to hit the working world in recent years has been generative AI (生成型人工智能). A report showed that 85% of workers could see at least 10% of their tasks affected by AI in some way. And how can students make sure their skills stay valuable in a world that feels like it’s being taken over by computers Here are the experts’ suggestions.
Work on your people skills. AI can summarize (總結) an article and program a computer, but it can’t win over a customer or stop a fight. So, try to get experience in jobs where you work with people — including difficult people! You could do this by working as a waiter or volunteering at a nursing home.
Learn lots of things, or become an expert. If you have just one skill, you could be in trouble if AI gets really good at it. So students should consider taking extra (額外的) courses besides their main study courses. If you do focus on (關注) one area, just ensure you know more about it than AI does!
Show you can do big, creative things AI can’t do. While AI can do long, boring tasks like comparing lots of information, it doesn’t push companies to develop new ideas or improve. And even if AI does the boring work, humans will still be needed to organize the projects in which AI is used.
Develop adaptability. We can’t know for certain what the world of work will look like in the future — so the best skill to develop may be adaptability. You can make yourself better at this by looking for new experiences, like studying abroad or even taking courses, which force you to change to get used to new situations!
The future of work with AI is challenging. But students can change and succeed. With AI’s help, you can learn more efficiently and solve problems more easily Face the difficulties and work hard, and you’ll make the journey into the AI-driven future be a step towards a better life.
1．What can AI do according to the text
① summarize an article ② program a computer

（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）Whenever you walk past a cafe, you might take interest in the coffee because of its delicious smell. But when you try this dark drink you will regret it, because it tastes like Chinese medicine. Our senses are mismatched because of the “second sense of smell” according to The Telegraph.
“We have two senses of smell,” explained Barry smith, professor of the University of London. “One is when you breathe in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up the nose and is breathed out through the nose.”
When we drink coffee, for example, the act of swallowing (吞咽) sends the smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain. As a result, it gives us a different feeling.
In fact, the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experience. It may be common sense that we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue. But the truth is 80% of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch a very small part of the flavor (味道).
However, ▲ . Durians (榴蓮) and some cheeses are examples. “Think of a piece of cheese with an unpleasant smell,” Smith said. “It smells like the inside of a teenager’s training shoe. But once it’s in your mouth, and you are experiencing the smell through the nose in the other direction, it is delicious.”
So far, scientists have only found two flavors that smell the same no matter how they enter the nose—chocolate and lavender.
1．Why do some good-smelling things taste so bad
A．Because our two senses of smell work differently.
B．Because different people have different tastes.
C．Because not all flavors have influences on us.
D．Because our sense of taste often lies to us.
2．Which picture shows the “second sense of smell” according to the passage
A． B． C． D．
3．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing Paragraph 4
A．To show us the importance of the sense of taste.
B．To explain what the second sense of smell is.
C．To ask us to pay more attention to the use of the tongue.
D．To tell us most of taste actually reaches us through smell.
4．We can put ________ in the blank “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 5.
A．the second sense of smell sometimes doesn’t work at all
B．people think that most of food with strong smell tastes terrible as well
C．things that smell good often taste bad because of the second sense of smell
D．the mismatch between our two senses of smell sometimes has pleasant results
5．Which question is answered in the passage
A．When is the best time for people to drink coffee
B．What is the best way to drink freshly-made coffee

（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）As someone who’s been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰凍果露) last night,” would you understand what they meant Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.
The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.”
So, what exactly is meant by “tribe” A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe. This is a group that defines (定義) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it. If you work in a certain industry-education, for example, you may use slang words (俚語) and acronyms (首字母縮略詞) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark in the city, which only locals would understand.
These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground “ballroom” (舞廳) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and its language were showed in the 2018 FX show Pose.
These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” —meaning “to be in a conflict (沖突) ” —was made popular by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.
As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We are all surrounded by amazing secret languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.”
1．The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used ________.
A．to prove that English is hard to learn
B．to explain the meaning of tribes
C．to teach readers how to communicate with London taxi drivers
D．to show the languages of tribes are often difficult to understand
2．According to this passage, what does “tribe” refer to
A．All members of a family. B．Workers in a certain company.
C．A group or class of people. D．People living in the same city.
3．What can we know about “secret languages”
A．They mostly came from musical cultures.
B．Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.
C．They first started in London in the 1980s.
D．They have failed to become popular among young people.
4．What is Dent’s attitude towards the future of secret languages
A．Confident. B．Worried. C．Uninterested. D．doubtful.
5．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (①= Paragraph 1)
A．①②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥ C．①②/③④⑤/⑥ D．①②/③④/⑤⑥
（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）You may feel that math is difficult and boring. Is it possible that you’ve been looking at math in the wrong way Li Xing, a math professor at Ning Xia University, thinks math can be beautiful and fun. I completely agree with what he said.
Numbers are beautiful
Many people today want to have beautiful looks. There is math hidden in beautiful human bodies. Measure (測量) the length from your head to your belly button and from your belly button to your feet. The ratio (比例) of these two numbers is always around 0.618. This is the golden ratio, which can be seen everywhere, like in nature, music and paintings.
In Chinese poems, we can also see the beauty of numbers. As Li Bai wrote, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “A thousand miles in one day”, —all these numbers show how fast Li Bai traveled and how happy he felt.
Curves (曲線) are beautiful
“Sine curves” are beautiful. They go towards the two opposite directions on and on without ever ending. When you look at them, you may feel like standing by the sea and watching the waves slowly moving. “Tangent curve” (正切曲線) is like a waterfall, just as Li Bai wrote, “dashing (沖) down three thousand feet from on high”.
Formulas (公式) are beautiful
There are some amazing formulas. Take the Pythagorean theorem for instance: in a right-angled triangle, the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Isn’t that fascinating As the Chinese-American mathematician Chern Shingshen once said, “it is truly enjoyable!”
1．If the ratio of a thing is around 0.618, ________.
A．it has a golden color B．it only happens in human bodies
C．it looks like a human body D．it might bring people a sense of beauty

（24-25九年級下·福建福州·開學考試）On December 29, 2024, two samples of the CR450 high-speed train were shown in Beijing. This wonderful train can reach a test speed of 450 kilometers per hour and an operating speed of 400 km/h. When it starts to be used for business, it will be the quickest high-speed train in the world, much faster than the CR400 that runs at 350 km/h.
The China State Railway Group, which made this train, said that the CR450 has set new global standards in many important parts like speed, using less energy, making less noise, and braking performance. Even though it goes at a higher speed, its braking is as good as the 350 km/h trains. This is because of the great engineering that keeps the train safer at high speeds than other vehicles.
The CR450 also cares a lot about making passengers feel comfortable. By using good noise-cutting technology, the inside of the train is quieter than that of the 350 km/h trains. Also, What’s more, its running resistance (阻力) has been decreased by 22% and its weight has been reduced by 10%, which helps to save energy. The inside has been made again, with 4% more room, and there are better places to put luggage (行李) .
Since 2012, China’s railway has made many new things, like the Fuxing high-speed train, and has built a whole high-speed rail technology system. The CR450 shows China’s ability to make new things and its science power. It also shows the good points of China’s system, which helps the railway grow.
In the past 15 years, China has built a very big railway network, including the world’s largest and best high-speed rail network, which is very long. The CR450 is an important step in China’s railway growth.

（2025·福建泉州·一模）Historically, people explored the ocean to find new ways to travel around the world or to start new trade ways. Today, we pay more attention to the ocean itself in the ocean exploration.
In recent years, new technology has made it easier to dive (潛水) into the deep sea. Better submarines (潛艇), robots and cameras now allow scientists to explore areas people couldn’t reach before. China’s Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel (大洋鉆探船) can now be added to the list.
Human beings actually don’t know much about the ocean. Believe it or not, we know more about space than we do about the deep sea. Since 1969,a total of 12 people have walked on the moon, but only three have dived to the Mariana Trench’s deepest point. Even more shocking Although the ocean covers about 71% of Earth’s surface, 95% of it is unexplored.
Why does so much of the ocean remain unknown Part of the answer is that it’s difficult to explore. Sure, it’s hard to get a spaceship into space. But remember that in space, you can see things. The deep sea, however, is hopelessly dark. Getting a light down there that can shine far enough to sec anything is no easy task.
That being said, ocean exploration is worth the risk and cost. The ocean is connected to all of us and plays a role in everything from the air we breathe, the food we eat and the transportation of the goods we buy to weather and longer-term climate trends (趨勢).
Most of our knowledge of the ocean comes from shallower waters (淺水區域), but deeper waters are becoming more important. Many fisheries are built in deep waters. The deep ocean also holds huge of oil, gas, metals and so on.
1．Why didn’t scientists reach the deep sea in the past
A．They didn’t think it’s worth the risk. B．They didn’t have high-level technology.
C．They had no need to explore the deep sea. D．They wanted the knowledge from shallower waters.
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 2
A．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is popular with tourists.
B．Mengxiang deep-ocean drilling vessel is mainly used for trade.
C．China has made great progress in ocean exploration technology.
D．China is the first country to explore shallower and deeper waters.
3．Why does the writer mention space in the text
A．To prove the interest of ocean exploration. B．To show the necessity of space exploration.
C．To show the difficulty of ocean exploration. D．To prove the importance of space exploration.
4．The underlined word “task” refers to ________.
A．inventing a new light B．seeing the things in space
C．getting a spaceship into space D．sending a bright enough light down
5．What can we get from the text
A．Our understanding of the ocean is less than we thought before.
B．The ocean coverage is the largest and we have explored most of it.
C．More resources come from the shallow waters than from deeper ones.
D．Three times more people dived into the ocean than walked on the moon.
（2025·福建泉州·一模）。
Badminton is a popular sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and skill levels. But many badminton lovers complain they can’t afford to play badminton because of the surprising price rise of shuttlecocks. What has led to the price growth
Shuttlecock makers say the simple reason for this is the growing prices of the feathers of ducks and geese. Duck and goose numbers in China have gone down since 2020, increasing the price. According to Yangcheng Evening News, the numbers of ducks and geese kept were 4.218 billion and 515 million in 2023, separately. However, the numbers were 4.878 billion and 634 million in 2019.
Also, only feathers from certain kinds of ducks or geese are hard enough and can be used to make shuttlecocks. One shuttlecock needs 16 feathers, but one goose or duck can only provide up to 14 such feathers.
At the same time, making shuttles is not a simple task. The feathers need to be cleaned, whitened, and disinfected (給……殺菌). This is to keep them clean and make sure the shuttle stays hard. Next, a machine puts the feathers into the shuttlecock’s head. The shuttlecock is then glued, stitched (縫合) and tested. This already makes shuttlecocks expensive, so the price increase is even more difficult to bear.
Since feather shuttlecocks are expensive, can we use man-made ones instead Carbon fiber (碳纖維) shuttles are one choice. They are about 10yuan each, and they last longer and fly better. However, controlling them during hits is much harder compared to natural ones. So, many players are not ready to say goodbye to feather shuttlecocks just yet. Even spending more money on shuttlecocks can’t stop them from loving badminton.
