（2022春·广东广州·七年级校考期中）Trees are one of the oldest “citizens” of our Earth. Trees keep our air clean, reduce noise pollution and provide food. Just like us, trees change a lot as they grow. Between 1 and 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns（刺）to make animals not go near.
At the age of 15, trees become young adults. They begin to produce flowers and fruit.
It is not until the tree is 20 to 25 years old that it becomes a real adult. The tree reaches its largest size. The adult tree not only gives us shade, oxygen and natural beauty, but also provides a great place for us to rest, read books or listen to music. After that, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. When part of a tree becomes dead, it provides a home for small animals.
In many ways, the life of a tree is just like everyone’s own life. Each period of life brings its own joy and challenge. Enjoy every minute of the life of the trees and take care of trees.
17．What do many young trees do to protect themselves
A．They keep the air clean and reduce noise.

（2022春·广东广州·七年级广州市真光中学校考期中）It is an excellent idea to give your child a chocolate bar to finish his or her math homework. It is said that the sweet treat can be helpful in calculating(计算).
The study, shown at the British Psychological(心理的) Society meeting, is great news for students whose favorite is chocolate when preparing for math exams.
For the study, 30 volunteers were asked to calculate in groups of three from numbers between 800 and 999 created by a computer casually. The findings showed that they could do the calculations more quickly and correctly after they had been given chocolate. The findings also showed that the volunteers did not get tired easily even if they were being asked to do the calculations over and over for an hour.
However, it was not true when the volunteers were asked to calculate in groups of seven. That is to say, chocolate has less effect on a more difficult task because different calculations need different parts of the brain.
Why does chocolate have effect on the human brain That is because chocolate has flavanols(黄烷醇), which can increase the blood flow to the brain. That is to say, they are good for our brains.
In fact, not only chocolate but also some fruit and vegetables have flavanols, such as apples and grapes. So, the more fruit and vegetables that are high in flavanols we eat, the better that is for your brain.
39．Which group of the numbers might be chosen for the study according to Paragraph 3
A．137, 809, 321 B．819, 980, 902 C．876, 654, 998 D．895, 786, 800
40．Why did the volunteers do the calculations more quickly and correctly
A．Because the calculations in groups of three were easy.
B．Because they were good at maths.
C．Because they were good at calculations in groups of three.
D．Because they were given chocolate to eat.
41．What does the underlined word “they” refer to
A．Flavanols. B．Calculations. C．Brains. D．Chocolates.
42．Which of the following statements is NOT true
A．30 volunteers were asked to do the experiment in the study.
B．Calculations in groups of seven are more difficult than those in groups of three.
C．Chocolate doesn’t work well when you calculate in groups of seven.
D．The volunteers became tired after they were asked to do the calculations for half an hour.
（2022春·广东广州·七年级广州市天河区汇景实验学校校考期中）Have you ever watched your dog bury（埋）his favorite bone but dig it up only a day or later There is actually a reason behind this-it’s simply in their nature. For thousands of years, dogs have buried their bones. When dogs lived in the wild, sometimes there was not enough food, it was hard for them to find food. If they were able to find meat and bones, dogs had to protect them. In order to keep other dogs and animals from finding their meat, dogs would bury it in the ground. Even though most dogs have lots of food to eat today, their instincts（本能）still tell them to bury their bones. Some dogs even hide（藏）more than one bone at a time.
A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere. He must first find the perfect place. Often it’s near a tree or a large rock. Once the dog finds the perfect place, he uses his front feet to dig the hole, drops the bone and covers up the hole to protect it. Dogs don’t always remember where a bone is buried, but they have a wonderful sense of smell. A dog can smell a bone even if it has been buried for years. Most of the time, dogs find bones they have buried by themselves, but they can also find bones buried by other dogs.
43．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Why dogs dig their bones. B．Why dogs bury their bones.
C．When dogs bury their bones. D．Where dogs bury their bones.
44．Where do dogs would like to bury the bones
A．Near a door. B．Near a rock. C．Near a river. D．Near a house.
45．What can we learn from the passage
A．Dogs started burying bones 100 years ago.
B．Dogs do not bury bones to protect them now.
C．Dogs smell always work when finding bones. D．Dogs only hide one bone each time.
46．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Dogs’ Life in the Wild B．Dogs’ Wonderful Sense of Smell
C．What are Dogs Instincts D．Why Do Dogs Bury Their Bones
（2022春·广东广州·七年级广州市骏景中学校考期中）If you look up into a tree, you can often see animals like squirrels and birds. But you may see a very different animal in the argan tree（摩洛哥坚果树）in Morocco: goat! Goats climb the branches to eat the fruits.
The argan tree can be up to 30 feet tall and it only grows in southwestern Morocco（摩洛哥）. This area is quite dry and hot. There is not much food for goats in the part of Morocco. So when argan fruits ripen（成熟）, the goats carefully climb up the argan trees and eat the yellow and dark brown fruits of argan trees.
These goats cannot digest the nut（坚果）inside the fruit. However, they spit out（吐出）the nut. Farmers collect these nuts and get the seeds inside them. And they use the seeds to produce argan oil. Argan oil has become popular around the world. This oil is used in cooking. It is also used as a skin and hair cosmetic（化妆品）.
Although these goats help farmers produce argan oil, there are other problems because of their tree climbing. Goats often spend about 6 hours on the branches of these trees. Their hooves（羊蹄）hurt the tree’s branches. These tree-climbing goats attract（吸引）tourists so farmers brought in more and more goats to this area. That is also not good for the health of the argan trees. Argan trees are in danger. Some scientists are trying to save these trees. Hopefully these trees will keep healthy and these goats will continue enjoying these fruits for many years to come!
47．Moroccan goats climb the argan tree to ________.

（2022春·广东广州·七年级广州白云广雅实验学校校考期中）On June 17th, 2021, both the European Space Agency and Roscosmos used the word “taikonauts” to congratulate（祝贺）China on sending three “taikonauts” on their Shenzhou Ⅻ mission（任务）to outer space.
With the Greek word “naut”, which means sailor, and “taiko”, the Chinese word for space, the word “taikonauts” is used for Chinese astronauts.
Yet “taikonauts” is more than just a word. Its history shows that of China’s space journey. Started in 1992, the manned spacecraft engineering（载人航天工程）of China was far behind the USA and Russia in the beginning. Six years later, a Chinese Malaysian, used it first in a piece of news on the Internet. However, back then few people picked up on it, as China was still rather weak at that time. The word did not become widely known until 2003. It was when China sent Yang Liwei, the first taikonaut into space by Shenzhou Ⅴ.
Since 1998, China has had 34 trained taikonauts. Behind these taikonauts, thousands of other workers do their jobs to get the taikonauts into space and make sure of their safe return. The great efforts of everyone in this project has made “taikonauts” from just a word on the paper into the reality（现实）. So all of them should share the honor. The meanings of the word will be further developed and we hope more taikonauts will appear.

（2022春·广东广州·七年级广州市第二中学校联考期中）Trees are one of the oldest living things on our Earth. The Hundred Horse Chestnut, known as the oldest tree in the world, has lived for more than 2,000 years. It takes a very long time for trees to grow, and trees change a lot when they grow.
At 1 to 3 years old, young trees learn how to protect themselves. For example, many trees grow thorns（刺）to tell animals not to go near. Most young trees have large, deep green leaves so that they can catch enough sunlight and turn it into their food and energy.
When trees are 4 years old, they take in a large amount of water and nutrients to grow taller and stronger. At this stage, they grow very fast and become strong enough to face challenges in life such as drought, flood and strong wind.
At the age of 15, trees grow more slowly and begin to produce flowers and fruits. When the trees produce flowers for the first time, their childhood end and they become young adults（成年）. When trees are 20 to 25 years old, they become real adults. The trees reach their largest sizes. Adult trees give us many things such as oxygen and natural beauty. Trees can also affect our minds. Studies show that more green leaves in our lives can decrease stress（压力）level. If we give them good care, they’ll live healthily for many years.
As time goes on, trees begin to grow older and older and even die. At this time, they still have their important place in nature. Enjoy every minute with the trees and take care of them!

（2022春·广东广州·七年级广州市广外附设外语学校校考期中）Have you ever watched your dog bury（埋）his favorite bone but dig it up only a day or two later There is actually a reason behind this — it’s simply in their nature. For thousands of years, dogs have buried their bones. When dogs lived in the wild, sometimes there was not enough food, it was hard for them to find food. If they were able to find meat and bones, dogs had to protect them. In order to keep other dogs and animals from finding their meat, dogs would bury it in the ground. Even though most dogs have lots of food to eat today, their instincts（本能）still tell them to bury their bones. Some dogs even hide（藏）more than one bone at a time.
A dog cannot bury a bone just anywhere. He must first find the perfect place. Often it’s near a tree or a large rock. Once the dog finds the perfect place, he uses his front feet to dig the hole, drops the bone and covers up the hole to protect it. Dogs don’t always remember where a bone is buried, but they have a wonderful sense of smell. A dog can smell a bone even if it has been buried for years. Most of the time, dogs find bones they have buried by themselves, but they can also find bones buried by other dogs.
73．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Why dogs dig their bones so soon. B．Why dogs bury their bones.
C．When dogs bury their bones. D．Where dogs bury their bones.
