一、阅读理解
（A）
（2023·江苏淮安·统考中考真题）Most of us cannot imagine modern life without social media(社交媒体). We use it almost every day in order to keep up with what is happening in our friends’ lives, or find out the latest information. Although it has a bad influence if we don’t use it properly, social media has done more good than harm.
The greatest advantage is that we can connect with people much more easily. We are still able to keep in touch with our friends if they are far away. With social media, friendship goes beyond geography. We are able to find friends old and new. Also, it makes it easier for us to make friends, especially for those who are afraid of making friends face to face. Are you shy If yes, social media has probably helped.
Social media is also ideal for making yourself heard. Anyone with a voice can express it. Anyone with a talent is free to show it. Everyone is the new content creator. Moreover, anyone with a smartphone and the Internet can be a reporter. As a result, it has become much faster to cover the news than ever before.
Social media, on the other hand, can make us less confident sometimes. A 2021 study published by the Public Library of Science, found that the more a person uses social media, the sadder he feels about his own life. One reason for this is that people around us put colourful information and perfect pictures online in order to show off their best moment. So we often get a distorted sense of how wonderful their lives are compared to our own.
Social media does not cause sadness; it simply provides another tool for us to use. Is it good or bad Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says, “What is interesting is the power and influence of social media ... We must try to use social media in a good way.” After all, you decide how you use this powerful tool.

A．Expressing our voices freely. B．Showing our talents to others.

A．clear B．different C．incorrect D．simple

4．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage （ ）

“The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!” says Dorothy to her friends.
Everyone is very happy.
“We must go back to the Wizard(男巫) of Oz and tell him,” says Dorothy.
Soon, Dorothy and her friends arrive at the Emerald City. They are given glasses and led to the Wizard’s room. But no one is there.
A voice says, “I am the Wizard of Oz.”
“Where are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am everywhere, but you can’t see me,” says the Wizard. “Who are you and what do you want ”
“Don’t you remember us I’m Dorothy! I’m here with my friends—the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead and you must keep your promise. I want to go home to Kansas.”
“Yes,” says the Scarecrow. “You must give me a brain.”
“And you must give me a heart,” says the Tin Woodman.
“And I want some courage,” says the Lion.
“Is she really dead ” asks the Wizard.
“Yes, she is!” the friends all say.
“Come back tomorrow,” says the Wizard. “I must think about it.”
“No way! I’m going to eat you!” shouts the angry Lion.
Dorothy’s pet dog Toto, afraid of the Lion, jumps up and hits a big screen. It falls over and the friends see a little old man. They can’t believe their eyes.
“Who are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am the Great Oz,” says the little man. “Please don’t hurt me!” “But the Wizard is a big head with no body,” says Dorothy.
“No, it’s a beautiful woman,” says the Scarecrow.
“You’re wrong. It’s a monster with five eyes, five arms and five legs,” says the Tin Woodman.
“No,” says the Lion. “The Wizard is a big ball of fire.”
“You are all wrong,” says the little man quietly. “__________ I’m from Kansas too. I like travelling in hot-air balloons. That’s why I’m here. The people here think I’m a wizard because I come from the sky,” says the little man. “I live inside this room and never go out. I can’t let anyone see me. I must make everyone think I’m a real wizard.”
“The Emerald City isn’t green,” continued the little man sadly. “It just looks green, because everyone wears green glasses. I have no magic. It’s only a trick! Everything here is a trick!”

（2023·江苏盐城·统考中考真题）3-D films are not new. They first appeared in 1903. The inventors wanted viewers to feel like they were really inside the film they were watching! When you watch a 3-D film, you feel as if the people on the screen are close enough to touch and that the airplane flying at you is flying right off the screen.

（2023·江苏常州·统考中考真题）Scientists who study happiness have evidence (证据) to show that being kind to others can result in happiness. Acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can lift a person’s mood, for example. Everyday life is full of chances for such actions, yet people do not always make the most of them.
In studies, behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley and I examined a possible explanation: people who do kind acts underestimate (低估) how much the ones receiving kindness value their behavior.
In the experiments (实验), about 1, 000 people were asked to do some actions to make someone else feel good. We asked both the person performing (执行) the kind act and the one receiving it to answer some questions. The performers were asked to report their own experience and to guess how the receivers might feel. We wanted to understand how valuable people considered these acts to be, so both the performer and receiver had to rate (评分) how “big” the act seemed. In all cases, we compared the performer’s expectations of the receiver’s mood with the receiver’s actual (实际的) experience.
For one, both performers and receivers experienced more positive (积极的) moods. For another, the receivers felt much better than the kind performers expected. The receivers also rated these acts as “bigger” than the people performing them did.
At first, we studied acts of the kindness done for familiar people, such as friends, classmates or family. But we found that performers underestimated their positive influences on strangers as well. In one experiment, performers in a public park gave away hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day to people that just happened to be nearby. Again, the kind act brought more happiness than the performers expected.
These findings suggest that what might seem small could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Considering these warm actions can improve our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can
1．What did the receivers do in the experiments （ ）
A．They showed kindness to others.
B．They guessed the performers’ feelings.
C．They rated how valuable the performers’ act of kindness was.
D．They compared the performers’ expectations with their actual results.
2．What is paragraph 5 mainly about （ ）
A．Different purposes of the research. B．More evidence for the research results.
C．Possible influences of the research findings. D．Another explanation of the research methods.
3．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards showing kindness to others （ ）
A．Supportive. B．Unclear. C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.
4．What is the main idea of this article （ ）
A．Being kind can reduce one’s happiness as expected.
B．Kindness can have unexpectedly positive influences.
C．Choosing kindness is more difficult than expected.
D．Showing kindness is more valuable than receiving it.

（2023·江苏常州·统考中考真题）
When Singaporean Tong Weiqiang watched Hong Kong wuxia dramas more than 10 years ago, he was greatly impressed. He then pioneered a local movement to support hanfu, or traditional Chinese clothes, and started the Han Cultural Society of Singapore in 2012 to attract more fans. “Many people in our cultural society first learned about hanfu from these Chinese wuxia dramas,” he told China Daily.
In recent years, with the increased popularity of Chinese culture through dramas and online literature, wuxia-related content has started to regain popularity with viewers all over the world, including those in Southeast Asia, According to China Daily, Wuxiaworld, a web novel site started by Chinese-American Lai Jingping in 2014, attracts millions of page views per day from users in more than 100 countries.
One reason for its popularity is that wuxia works bring them fresh new experiences. The economies (经济) of many Southeast Asian countries are based on agriculture. As China Daily mentioned, what really interests them is the different lifestyles of wuxia heroes they have never experienced.
New thoughts and ideas in wuxia works also help it go a step further abroad. Unlike traditional wuxia, the modern form of wuxia which has gained popularity in Southeast Asia is a broader idea that includes xianxia and xuanhuan.
But there’s one thing that never changes-its core (核心) spirit. Mixing the Chinese characters “wu” and “xia”, these works always keep the spirit of the Chinese heroes fighting against social injustice (不公正) and beating bad people, noted the Interact Kungfu website.
“Although wuxia is a special part of Chinese culture, the core spirit of pursuing (追求) freedom and justice is generally accepted by people all over the world,” Lily Lee, president of You-Cloud which operates AppGrowing, told China Daily.
1．Why does the writer tell the story of Tong Weiqiang （ ）
A．To provide the background. B．To raise up the question.
C．To lead into the main topic. D．To introduce the main character.
2．Which of the following is one reason for wuxia’s popularity （ ）
A．People’s wishes to change others’ lifestyles.
B．The economic conditions of different countries.
C．The differences between xianxia and xuanhuan.
D．The acceptance of wuxia's core spirit across the world.
3．What is the best title of this article （ ）
A．A Wide World of Wuxia B．A Special Part of Wuxia
C．The Core Spirit of Wuxia D．The New Meaning of Wuxia

（2023·江苏南通·统考中考真题）Climate change (气候变化) has brought a serious warning to the living areas of the Siberian crane, increasing the need to better protect the birds and their migratory channels (迁徙路径), an expert said.
The Siberian crane breeds (繁殖) in northeast Siberia in Russia and flies to Poyang Lake for the winter in East China’s Jiangxi Province. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang.
Qian Fawen, a research professor from the National Bird Banding Center of China, said that Poyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods; in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these situations create food shortages in the cranes’ living area,” he said.
The Siberian crane is listed as seriously endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. “We need to protect their living area, which is mainly wetland, so that we can protect them,” Qian said.
In the recently announced National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Channels (2021-35), 1, 140 places in China were considered as important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops, including Poyang and the Yellow River wetland in Ningxia. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses caused by the birds.
Since China joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1992, it has designated (指定) 202,600 hectares of wetland as Wetlands of International Importance. They store and clean water, keep all kinds of living things, help store floods and prevent droughts. According to a plan announced by the central government in October, by 2025, China will have protected 55 percent of its wetlands.
After the Wetlands Protection Law, the nation’s first law to protect wetlands, was introduced on June 1, 2022, complete protection was strengthened. The law clearly explained what the government should do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesn’t allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much.
Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands, including some new rare kinds. ▲
1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2 to Paragraph 4 （ ）
A．About 95 percent of the Siberian cranes spend their winter in Poyang Lake.
B．Climate change has little influence on the Siberian cranes’ living area in Poyang.
C．The Siberian cranes will live in Poyang all year round if the wetland is protected.
D．Water levels decide that Poyang Lake isn’t suitable for the Siberian cranes to live.
2．Which of the following behaviors is right at important wetlands （ ）
①building houses ②making farmlands ③limiting fishing
④leaving wastewater ⑤watching birds
A．①③ B．②④ C．③⑤ D．②⑤
3．What does this passage mainly tell us （ ）
A．The problem the Siberian cranes face and the ways people protect wetlands.
B．The reason why the Siberian cranes migrate and the place they usually stay in.
C．The importance of protecting the Siberian cranes and the result it will lead to.
D．The loss of wetlands and the actions that have already been taken to help them.
4．What will the writer probably continue to write in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 8 （ ）
A．People have done something to protect wetlands.
B．The number of the birds has increased in wetlands.
C．Experts will go on to do other research on wetlands.
D．The government will make more laws to protect wetlands.

“The Wicked Witch of the West is dead!” says Dorothy to her friends.
Everyone is very happy.
“We must go back to the Wizard(男巫) of Oz and tell him,” says Dorothy.
Soon, Dorothy and her friends arrive at the Emerald City. They are given glasses and led to the Wizard’s room. But no one is there.
A voice says, “I am the Wizard of Oz.”
“Where are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am everywhere, but you can’t see me,” says the Wizard. “Who are you and what do you want ”
“Don’t you remember us I’m Dorothy! I’m here with my friends—the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. The Wicked Witch of the West is dead and you must keep your promise. I want to go home to Kansas.”
“Yes,” says the Scarecrow. “You must give me a brain.”
“And you must give me a heart,” says the Tin Woodman.
“And I want some courage,” says the Lion.
“Is she really dead ” asks the Wizard.
“Yes, she is!” the friends all say.
“Come back tomorrow,” says the Wizard. “I must think about it.”
“No way! I’m going to eat you!” shouts the angry Lion.
Dorothy’s pet dog Toto, afraid of the Lion, jumps up and hits a big screen. It falls over and the friends see a little old man. They can’t believe their eyes.
“Who are you ” asks Dorothy.
“I am the Great Oz,” says the little man. “Please don’t hurt me!” “But the Wizard is a big head with no body,” says Dorothy.

“You’re wrong. It’s a monster with five eyes, five arms and five legs,” says the Tin Woodman.
“No,” says the Lion. “The Wizard is a big ball of fire.”
“You are all wrong,” says the little man quietly. “__________ I’m from Kansas too. I like travelling in hot-air balloons. That’s why I’m here. The people here think I’m a wizard because I come from the sky,” says the little man. “I live inside this room and never go out. I can’t let anyone see me. I must make everyone think I’m a real wizard.”
“The Emerald City isn’t green,” continued the little man sadly. “It just looks green, because everyone wears green glasses. I have no magic. It’s only a trick! Everything here is a trick!”

（2023·江苏常州·统考中考真题）Scientists who study happiness have evidence (证据) to show that being kind to others can result in happiness. Acts as simple as buying a cup of coffee for someone can lift a person’s mood, for example. Everyday life is full of chances for such actions, yet people do not always make the most of them.
In studies, behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley and I examined a possible explanation: people who do kind acts underestimate (低估) how much the ones receiving kindness value their behavior.
In the experiments (实验), about 1, 000 people were asked to do some actions to make someone else feel good. We asked both the person performing (执行) the kind act and the one receiving it to answer some questions. The performers were asked to report their own experience and to guess how the receivers might feel. We wanted to understand how valuable people considered these acts to be, so both the performer and receiver had to rate (评分) how “big” the act seemed. In all cases, we compared the performer’s expectations of the receiver’s mood with the receiver’s actual (实际的) experience.
For one, both performers and receivers experienced more positive (积极的) moods. For another, the receivers felt much better than the kind performers expected. The receivers also rated these acts as “bigger” than the people performing them did.
At first, we studied acts of the kindness done for familiar people, such as friends, classmates or family. But we found that performers underestimated their positive influences on strangers as well. In one experiment, performers in a public park gave away hot chocolate on a cold winter’s day to people that just happened to be nearby. Again, the kind act brought more happiness than the performers expected.
These findings suggest that what might seem small could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Considering these warm actions can improve our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can
1．What did the receivers do in the experiments （ ）
A．They showed kindness to others.
B．They guessed the performers’ feelings.
C．They rated how valuable the performers’ act of kindness was.
D．They compared the performers’ expectations with their actual results.
2．What is paragraph 5 mainly about （ ）
A．Different purposes of the research. B．More evidence for the research results.
C．Possible influences of the research findings. D．Another explanation of the research methods.
3．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards showing kindness to others （ ）
A．Supportive. B．Unclear. C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.
4．What is the main idea of this article （ ）
A．Being kind can reduce one’s happiness as expected.
B．Kindness can have unexpectedly positive influences.
C．Choosing kindness is more difficult than expected.
D．Showing kindness is more valuable than receiving it.

When Singaporean Tong Weiqiang watched Hong Kong wuxia dramas more than 10 years ago, he was greatly impressed. He then pioneered a local movement to support hanfu, or traditional Chinese clothes, and started the Han Cultural Society of Singapore in 2012 to attract more fans. “Many people in our cultural society first learned about hanfu from these Chinese wuxia dramas,” he told China Daily.
In recent years, with the increased popularity of Chinese culture through dramas and online literature, wuxia-related content has started to regain popularity with viewers all over the world, including those in Southeast Asia, According to China Daily, Wuxiaworld, a web novel site started by Chinese-American Lai Jingping in 2014, attracts millions of page views per day from users in more than 100 countries.
One reason for its popularity is that wuxia works bring them fresh new experiences. The economies (经济) of many Southeast Asian countries are based on agriculture. As China Daily mentioned, what really interests them is the different lifestyles of wuxia heroes they have never experienced.
New thoughts and ideas in wuxia works also help it go a step further abroad. Unlike traditional wuxia, the modern form of wuxia which has gained popularity in Southeast Asia is a broader idea that includes xianxia and xuanhuan.
But there’s one thing that never changes-its core (核心) spirit. Mixing the Chinese characters “wu” and “xia”, these works always keep the spirit of the Chinese heroes fighting against social injustice (不公正) and beating bad people, noted the Interact Kungfu website.
“Although wuxia is a special part of Chinese culture, the core spirit of pursuing (追求) freedom and justice is generally accepted by people all over the world,” Lily Lee, president of You-Cloud which operates AppGrowing, told China Daily.
1．Why does the writer tell the story of Tong Weiqiang （ ）
A．To provide the background. B．To raise up the question.

2．Which of the following is one reason for wuxia’s popularity （ ）
A．People’s wishes to change others’ lifestyles.
B．The economic conditions of different countries.
C．The differences between xianxia and xuanhuan.

（2023·江苏南通·统考中考真题）Climate change (气候变化) has brought a serious warning to the living areas of the Siberian crane, increasing the need to better protect the birds and their migratory channels (迁徙路径), an expert said.
The Siberian crane breeds (繁殖) in northeast Siberia in Russia and flies to Poyang Lake for the winter in East China’s Jiangxi Province. About 95 percent of the birds spend the season in Poyang.
Qian Fawen, a research professor from the National Bird Banding Center of China, said that Poyang’s water levels decide whether it is suitable for the birds to live there. However, climate change has made the levels change often. “In some years, the lake experiences floods; in others, it experiences droughts. Both of these situations create food shortages in the cranes’ living area,” he said.
The Siberian crane is listed as seriously endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List. “We need to protect their living area, which is mainly wetland, so that we can protect them,” Qian said.
In the recently announced National Action Plan for the Protection of Bird Migration Channels (2021-35), 1, 140 places in China were considered as important breeding grounds, wintering grounds and staying stops, including Poyang and the Yellow River wetland in Ningxia. The plan said that the government should watch and count the number of migratory birds and pay farmers for losses caused by the birds.
Since China joined the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands in 1992, it has designated (指定) 202,600 hectares of wetland as Wetlands of International Importance. They store and clean water, keep all kinds of living things, help store floods and prevent droughts. According to a plan announced by the central government in October, by 2025, China will have protected 55 percent of its wetlands.
After the Wetlands Protection Law, the nation’s first law to protect wetlands, was introduced on June 1, 2022, complete protection was strengthened. The law clearly explained what the government should do and introduced strict punishment for people who destroy wetland areas. It limits building at important national wetlands and it doesn’t allow harmful activities, including using them as farmlands, leaving wastewater everywhere, harvesting and fishing too much.
Key nature reserve management offices in China have reported more birds wintering in the nation’s wetlands, including some new rare kinds. ▲

B．Climate change has little influence on the Siberian cranes’ living area in Poyang.
C．The Siberian cranes will live in Poyang all year round if the wetland is protected.
