（A）
（2023·江苏扬州·统考中考真题）What would happen if you tried to blow a soap (肥皂) bubble in below-freezing weather Would it freeze and fall to the ground Would you have to hit it with a stone to break it These questions came into my mind one cold winter day. It was too cold to play in the snow, but it was a perfect time to experiment with blowing frozen bubbles.
To blow frozen bubbles, I had to wait until the air outside was very cold. For this activity, that meant 10 degrees below 0 Fahrenheit or colder. I didn’t have the bubble things that come in a bottle, so I used dish-washing soap. Adding a drop of glycerin made the soap work even better. I chose a place out of the wind, and blew bubbles the same way I always do. I watched to see what would happen. Here’s what I learned.
If the temperature is low enough, the skin of the bubble frosts (结霜) over, becoming cloudy instead of clear. And what about those rainbow swirls (漩涡状物体) that you see in soap bubbles The rainbow colors stay even (均匀的) when the bubbles frost, but they don’t spin anymore. The bubbles still float in the air. They don’t fall to the ground any faster than they would on a warm summer day.
When these frozen bubbles break, they don’t turn into tiny drops of soap as summer bubbles do. They turn into shiny rainbow pieces and fly slowly to the ground. Sometimes a frozen bubble will roll across the snow without breaking. If it breaks, it may leave a strong bubble skin on the ground. Leave the bubble alone and it may stay there for a long time.
Sometimes I could catch a bubble and hold it until the heat of my hand made it pop.
I learned one other thing about blowing frozen bubbles. It’s so much fun. I want to try it again next year!

But maybe he will just keep surfing. “I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I’m 100,” Sano said. “I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”

（2023·江苏泰州·中考真题）
Now, primary students learn cooking at school. It has been discussed by teachers and parents. Some think that it is a useful skill for students, while others think it’s a waste of time, some even think it’s just a show. But do they really understand cooking
It’s been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it’s much more than that. Then talking about different foods from all around the world, or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. Then learning cooking, students measure(称量) materials from time to time, or find oil and water don’t usually mix. Students are also learning maths and science in practice.
The importance of failures in making food is as much as successes. Li Mei, 11, was crazy about the yummy cakes made by her father and wanted to make one on her own. But when taking her cake out, she was frustrated(沮丧的) to find that the cake was hard and black at the bottom. Her father told her when he was 13, he tried to make cakes, but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with Father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failures.
Apart from the practical skills, cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Though being good to our health, carrots were hated by 12-year-old Xiao Lei. But he started to love them after he made a salad with them. By cooking, students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking, students form the habit of doing labor work. As a part of labor education, cooking is a way to teach kids vital 21st century skills, such as creativity, teamwork and so on. If these skills aren’t taught to today’s students, they might hardly survive in the future.
1．What does the writer think of “learning cooking” in primary schools （ ）

It was my first day at school. It was also Miss Caroline’s first day to be a teacher.
Miss Caroline began the day by reading us a story about cats. Then she started to teach us the alphabet (字母表).
When Miss Caroline discovered that I was literate (有读写能力的), she said, “Tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading and writing with a fresh mind.”
After supper that night, Atticus sat down with the paper and called, “Scout, ready to read ”
I told Atticus I didn’t feel very well and didn’t think I’d go to school any more if it was all right with him.
“You never went to school and you do all right, so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Granddaddy taught you.”

“Sir ”

“But if I keep on going to school, we can’t ever read any more…”
“That’s really worrying you, isn’t it ”
“Yes, sir.”
When Atticus looked at me, I saw the look on his face that always made me expect something. “Do you know what a compromise (妥协) is ” he asked.
“Breaking the law ”
“No, an agreement. It works this way,” he said. “If you promise me to go to school, we’ll go on reading every night as usual. Is it OK ”
“Yes sir!”

（2023·江苏盐城·统考中考真题）Choosing a career isn’t always easy, but there are still some tips you can take to help make up your mind.

It’s true that things like salary are important, but don’t let them lead you down the wrong path.

3 They start a job, love it straight away and stick at it. But it isn’t always like that. So remember that you are allowed to change your mind. It’s not necessary to worry for years. Maybe your first job doesn’t turn out to be suitable for you. Maybe the right job for you is right around the corner!
4
Some people choose their career simply because they think they’ll make huge amounts of money. OK, if that is what you want.

（2023·江苏徐州·中考真题）Once upon a time, all the animals were called to an early meeting. As they gathered in the public square, one of them, the chicken, was seen by her neighbours going in the opposite direction. “Hey, Chicken! 1 ” they asked. “Didn’t you receive the invitation ”

（2023·江苏常州·统考中考真题）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. 1 I never believed he could make it. About ten years later, however, I was surprised to see the man on TV, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers.
His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves.” It describes how people picture their future life: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become.
2 What you imagine can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge Here are a few steps you can try.
First of all, just take action. If you’re dreaming of a certain job, attend a course, follow someone who does what you want to do and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal (目标).
A study of adults aged between 23 and 72 found that more than 70 percent of those who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals, twice the percentage of those who didn’t share written goals. So secondly, when you have a goal, share it. 3 That finding held true for all goals.
Finally, try looking toward people you know only by chance for advice, or those with whom you haven’t spoken in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your larger network are more likely (可能) to help you than those closest to you. 4
A．Ask your best friends to share their goals.
B．A possible self can take you beyond daydreams.
C．He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact.
D．So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.
E．He always imagined himself as the most successful businessman.
F．More friends knowing about your goal makes it more likely to be achieved.

Now, primary students learn cooking at school. It has been discussed by teachers and parents. Some think that it is a useful skill for students, while others think it’s a waste of time, some even think it’s just a show. But do they really understand cooking
It’s been said that good cooking is an art form. The truth is that it’s much more than that. Then talking about different foods from all around the world, or cultures and histories of dishes, students are connected to the world and learning history and culture in a new field. Then learning cooking, students measure(称量) materials from time to time, or find oil and water don’t usually mix. Students are also learning maths and science in practice.
The importance of failures in making food is as much as successes. Li Mei, 11, was crazy about the yummy cakes made by her father and wanted to make one on her own. But when taking her cake out, she was frustrated(沮丧的) to find that the cake was hard and black at the bottom. Her father told her when he was 13, he tried to make cakes, but wasted boxes of eggs. Then together with Father, Li Mei found out what had gone wrong and succeeded in making one. Li Mei learned in the failure of cooking, and could be braver to face failures.
Apart from the practical skills, cooking builds character. It encourages kids to work with others. It also encourages them to be open to foods they might not have tried. Though being good to our health, carrots were hated by 12-year-old Xiao Lei. But he started to love them after he made a salad with them. By cooking, students put down their phones and work together with family members in the kitchen. By cooking, students form the habit of doing labor work. As a part of labor education, cooking is a way to teach kids vital 21st century skills, such as creativity, teamwork and so on. If these skills aren’t taught to today’s students, they might hardly survive in the future.

It was my first day at school. It was also Miss Caroline’s first day to be a teacher.
Miss Caroline began the day by reading us a story about cats. Then she started to teach us the alphabet (字母表).
When Miss Caroline discovered that I was literate (有读写能力的), she said, “Tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading and writing with a fresh mind.”
After supper that night, Atticus sat down with the paper and called, “Scout, ready to read ”
I told Atticus I didn’t feel very well and didn’t think I’d go to school any more if it was all right with him.
“You never went to school and you do all right, so I’ll just stay home too. You can teach me like Granddaddy taught you.”
“No, I can’t,” said Atticus. “I have to make a living. Besides, they’d put me in prison if I kept you at home. Now what’s the matter ”
I told him what happened at school. “Miss Caroline said you taught me all wrong, so we can’t ever read any more. Please don’t send me back, please sir.”
“First of all,” he said, “if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of people. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view—”
“Sir ”
“—until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”
Atticus continued, “You learned many things today. Miss Caroline learned several things herself. We could not expect her to learn all our ways in one day, and we should understand her when she knew no better.”
“But if I keep on going to school, we can’t ever read any more…”
“That’s really worrying you, isn’t it ”
“Yes, sir.”
When Atticus looked at me, I saw the look on his face that always made me expect something. “Do you know what a compromise (妥协) is ” he asked.
“Breaking the law ”
“No, an agreement. It works this way,” he said. “If you promise me to go to school, we’ll go on reading every night as usual. Is it OK ”

（2023·江苏常州·统考中考真题）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Years ago, I interviewed a successful advertising man. 1 I never believed he could make it. About ten years later, however, I was surprised to see the man on TV, holding up his new book. He has published more than 100 best sellers.
His ability to see himself as a writer shows a concept (理念) known as “possible selves.” It describes how people picture their future life: what they may become, or want to become, or even fear to become.
2 What you imagine can come true if you build a bridge from your “now” self to your possible self. But how do we build that bridge Here are a few steps you can try.
First of all, just take action. If you’re dreaming of a certain job, attend a course, follow someone who does what you want to do and start by taking up that type of work as a hobby or a side job. You should tell yourself that these are the steps you can take to achieve that goal (目标).
A study of adults aged between 23 and 72 found that more than 70 percent of those who sent weekly progress to a friend completed their goals, twice the percentage of those who didn’t share written goals. So secondly, when you have a goal, share it. 3 That finding held true for all goals.
Finally, try looking toward people you know only by chance for advice, or those with whom you haven’t spoken in years. A lot of research has found that when you’re asking for valuable advice, people in your larger network are more likely (可能) to help you than those closest to you. 4
A．Ask your best friends to share their goals.
B．A possible self can take you beyond daydreams.
C．He told me that he dreamed of being a writer in fact.
D．So, reach out to your weak connections for it when needed.
E．He always imagined himself as the most successful businessman.
F．More friends knowing about your goal makes it more likely to be achieved.
