On March 3, 2023, members of a girls' lion dance team were practicing moves of a lion dance at a community activity center in Guangzhou.
Since it was set up in July 2019, the girls' lion dance team has won many prizes at different lion dance competitions.
The team is part of the "Hexingtang" lion dance troupe(表演团) which was set up in the 1980s. Before 2018, all the performers of the troupe were male(男性的). In 2018, six girls joined the troupe.
Zhong Ziying, a middle school student, is one of the team's best lion dancers. Zhong is the first girl in her family to learn the lion dance. Other girls on the team said they had watched male performers performing since their childhood, but none of them had expected they themselves could become lion dance performers one day.
The girls started to go out to put on performances on the first day of the Chinese New Year of 2019. At first, they were not acknowledged by local villagers. But they didn't give up and practiced hard. The team began taking part in competitions in July 2021 and won first place in several competitions. With these achievements, the girls finally got the villagers' support.
To stay in the team, the girls must receive strict training. The team once had over 20 members, but now there are fewer than 20, with the youngest one just 6 years old. Some girls give up because the training is so difficult. Sometimes they need to practice a move over a thousand times to perform it well. Those who have stayed are the best.
4．The "Hexingtang" lion dance troupe ____.
A．had only six members at first
B．has twenty male performers now
C．was set up more than 30 years ago
5．What does the underlined word "acknowledged" mean in paragraph 5

【知识点】新闻报道类；社会活动类
【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了"和兴堂"舞狮团的一支女子舞狮队伍在成立后，努力训练、参加比赛，在不同的比赛中获得了许多奖项，以证明自己的努力。
【点评】考查阅读理解，注意略读法：快速浏览文章，了解文章的大意。通过略读，可以了解文章的体裁、背景、主题和结构等信息。
4．细节题。根据The team is part of the "Hexingtang" lion dance troupe which was set up in the 1980s可知，和兴堂"舞狮团成立于20世纪80年代，距今已有30多年了。故选C。
5．词句猜测题。根据At first, they were not acknowledged by local villagers. But they didn't give up and practiced hard. The team began taking part in competitions in July 2021 and won first place in several competitions. With these achievements, the girls finally got the villagers' support可知，女子舞狮队一开始并不被村民们看好，由此可猜测acknowledged意为被认可的。故选C。
6．推断题。根据To stay in the team, the girls must receive strict training可知，女子舞狮队的队员们的训练很严格，由此可推断她们对自己的要求也很高。故选B。
7．最佳标题题。根据On March 3, 2023, members of a girls' lion dance team were practicing moves of a lion dance at a community activity center in Guangzhou.可知，本文主要介绍了广州"和兴堂"舞狮团的一支女子舞狮队的故事，故女孩们在广州表演传统舞蹈最适合做本文的本题。故选C。
（2024九下·长沙开学考） 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Humans are taller and taller, while some animals become smaller. Is it a strange fact A study found 52 kinds of birds have become smaller. "This is because of climate(气候) change," said the scientists who did the study.
The shrinking(萎缩) in size follows a rule in nature called Bergmann's Rule. The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas. Large animals are able to keep warm in cold weather. That's why animals in cold areas are larger.
As global warming affects(影响) the Earth, animals have to deal with rising temperatures. Some of them become smaller. This came to light when scientists studied over 70,000 kinds of birds over a 38-year period. They discovered some common birds were shrinking in size. Studies on deer, insects and fish also showed similar results.
What does this mean for these animals Of course the Earth has been through cycles of warming and cooling. And many animals have changed to keep up with the changes of the environment in order to survive(幸存). The difference is now the cycle is happening faster than before. So, animals may not be able to change fast enough.
Besides, when animals become smaller, other things will get affected. When an animal's body is smaller, it may not be able to give birth to as many young babies as before. This may affect the population. Water dependent animals like frogs may dry out faster during the drought(干旱). As they become smaller, their ability to hold water may weaken.
It is possible that scientists haven't yet fully understood how changes in size may affect the ability of animals to survive. This shows the bigger problem with climate change — we are not always able to know what will happen when the Earth's temperature keeps rising. And this is the real danger.
8．The writer mentions a study in the first paragraph to ____.
A．introduce a subject
B．solve a mystery
C．discuss a program
9．What do we know from Paragraph 2
A．Animals living in warm places are usually big.
B．Animals living in cold places are usually small.
C．The larger the animal is, the better it will keep warm.
10．What might happen when some animals become smaller
①Their ability to survive may be affected.
②They can't give birth to young babies.
③They may have fewer babies than before.
④Their populations may fall.
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④
11．What's the writer's attitude(态度) towards the rising temperature？
A．The writer is worried.
B．The writer welcomes it.
C．The writer thinks it's fine.
【答案】8．A
9．C
10．B
11．A
【知识点】科普类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了由于气候变化导致的动物体型缩小。
【点评】考查阅读理解，注意关注文章结构：阅读文章时，要关注文章的结构和脉络，了解文章的段落和主题，有助于理解文章内容和回答问题。
8．推断题。根据A study found 52 kinds of birds have become smaller. "This is because of climate (气候) change," said the scientists who did the study可知，此处是引出动物变小是由于气候变化，下文主要阐述了气候变化如何影响动物大小，因此这里提到这项研究的目的是为了引出话题。故选A。
9．细节题。根据Large animals are able to keep warm in cold weather可知，动物体型越大，越能更好地保暖。故选C。
10．细节题。根据Besides, when animals become smaller, other things will get affected. When an animal's body is smaller, it may not be able to give birth to as many young babies as before. This may affect the population. Water dependent animals like frogs may dry out faster during the drought"和"It is possible that scientists haven't yet fully understood how changes in size may affect the ability of animals to survive.可知，身体变小会影响动物的生存能力，他们可能会比以前生更少的孩子，他们的数量将下降，因而①③④表述正确，故选B。
11．观点态度题。根据This shows the bigger problem with climate change—we are not always able to know what will happen when the Earth's temperature keeps rising. And this is the real dange可知，作者对人们不能完全理解地球温度上升会如何影响动物生存表示担忧。故选A。

Of course, people's feelings about the color blue are not the same. They are highly personal. While some people find blue to be a sad color, others may regard it as relaxing or inspiring. This also has to do with personal experiences. If you connect the color blue with a lively friend, you might see it as a high-energy color that leaves you a sense of excitement.

In Chinese, the phrase "daomei" is often used to describe bad luck. Where did "daomei" come from It is said that daomei comes from Zhejiang during the Ming Dynasty(朝代). It has something to do with the keju testing system that were given in ancient China.
At the time, there were no entrance examinations for colleges and universities like today. If someone wanted to become an officer, that person would need to take the keju tests. The keju testing system consisted of several tests at different levels. Through the highest-level tests, called dianshi, the best candidates(候选人) were chosen by the emperor.
The keju tests were hard and competition was fierce(激烈的). During the Ming Dynasty, candidates in Zhejiang would put up a flagpole(旗杆) in front of the gate to their home, wishing for good luck on the tests. Local people called the flagpole "mei"(楣) at the time. If someone passed a test, the flagpole would be kept up. If they failed, the flagpole would be removed, which was called "daomei", meaning "the flagpole falls".
As time passed, daomei came to refer not only to "failing a test", but also to describe being unlucky in general. The Chinese character for mei was also changed from "楣" to today's "霉", since the two have the same pronunciation.
36．Which province did the term "daomei" come from
37．Were there any college entrance examinations in ancient China

Since it was set up in July 2019, the girls' lion dance team has won many prizes at different lion dance competitions.
The team is part of the "Hexingtang" lion dance troupe(表演团) which was set up in the 1980s. Before 2018, all the performers of the troupe were male(男性的). In 2018, six girls joined the troupe.
Zhong Ziying, a middle school student, is one of the team's best lion dancers. Zhong is the first girl in her family to learn the lion dance. Other girls on the team said they had watched male performers performing since their childhood, but none of them had expected they themselves could become lion dance performers one day.
The girls started to go out to put on performances on the first day of the Chinese New Year of 2019. At first, they were not acknowledged by local villagers. But they didn't give up and practiced hard. The team began taking part in competitions in July 2021 and won first place in several competitions. With these achievements, the girls finally got the villagers' support.
To stay in the team, the girls must receive strict training. The team once had over 20 members, but now there are fewer than 20, with the youngest one just 6 years old. Some girls give up because the training is so difficult. Sometimes they need to practice a move over a thousand times to perform it well. Those who have stayed are the best.

A．had only six members at first
B．has twenty male performers now
C．was set up more than 30 years ago

Humans are taller and taller, while some animals become smaller. Is it a strange fact A study found 52 kinds of birds have become smaller. "This is because of climate(气候) change," said the scientists who did the study.
The shrinking(萎缩) in size follows a rule in nature called Bergmann's Rule. The rule says that animals in cooler areas are usually larger than those in warmer areas. Large animals are able to keep warm in cold weather. That's why animals in cold areas are larger.
As global warming affects(影响) the Earth, animals have to deal with rising temperatures. Some of them become smaller. This came to light when scientists studied over 70,000 kinds of birds over a 38-year period. They discovered some common birds were shrinking in size. Studies on deer, insects and fish also showed similar results.
What does this mean for these animals Of course the Earth has been through cycles of warming and cooling. And many animals have changed to keep up with the changes of the environment in order to survive(幸存). The difference is now the cycle is happening faster than before. So, animals may not be able to change fast enough.
Besides, when animals become smaller, other things will get affected. When an animal's body is smaller, it may not be able to give birth to as many young babies as before. This may affect the population. Water dependent animals like frogs may dry out faster during the drought(干旱). As they become smaller, their ability to hold water may weaken.
It is possible that scientists haven't yet fully understood how changes in size may affect the ability of animals to survive. This shows the bigger problem with climate change — we are not always able to know what will happen when the Earth's temperature keeps rising. And this is the real danger.
8．The writer mentions a study in the first paragraph to ____.
A．introduce a subject
B．solve a mystery
C．discuss a program
9．What do we know from Paragraph 2
A．Animals living in warm places are usually big.
B．Animals living in cold places are usually small.
C．The larger the animal is, the better it will keep warm.
10．What might happen when some animals become smaller
①Their ability to survive may be affected.
②They can't give birth to young babies.
③They may have fewer babies than before.
④Their populations may fall.
A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④
11．What's the writer's attitude(态度) towards the rising temperature？
A．The writer is worried.
B．The writer welcomes it.
C．The writer thinks it's fine.

Colors are important in people's lives. They can influence a person's feelings and actions. Among all colors, blue is the most common favorite color of people around the world. 12．

Although blue is one of the most popular colors, it is also one of the least appetizing(开胃的) colors. 14． Why Food that is blue usually means it is poisonous(有毒的) or has gone bad. So humans naturally avoid eating food related to blue.

This also has to do with personal experiences. If you connect the color blue with a lively friend, you might see it as a high-energy color that leaves you a sense of excitement.
15． In India, for example, blue is a symbol of truth and love. In the United States, it is traditional for a woman to wear "something blue" when she gets married. For them, blue means loyalty(忠诚).
A. Blue is one of the most popular colors. B. However, it can also create a feeling of sadness. C. Then how does the color blue make people feel D. Cultural differences play a role in how people feel about blue, too. E. Those who want to lose weight are advised to eat their food off a blue plate.

（2024九下·长沙开学考） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
In Chinese, the phrase "daomei" is often used to describe bad luck. Where did "daomei" come from It is said that daomei comes from Zhejiang during the Ming Dynasty(朝代). It has something to do with the keju testing system that were given in ancient China.
At the time, there were no entrance examinations for colleges and universities like today. If someone wanted to become an officer, that person would need to take the keju tests. The keju testing system consisted of several tests at different levels. Through the highest-level tests, called dianshi, the best candidates(候选人) were chosen by the emperor.
The keju tests were hard and competition was fierce(激烈的). During the Ming Dynasty, candidates in Zhejiang would put up a flagpole(旗杆) in front of the gate to their home, wishing for good luck on the tests. Local people called the flagpole "mei"(楣) at the time. If someone passed a test, the flagpole would be kept up. If they failed, the flagpole would be removed, which was called "daomei", meaning "the flagpole falls".
As time passed, daomei came to refer not only to "failing a test", but also to describe being unlucky in general. The Chinese character for mei was also changed from "楣" to today's "霉", since the two have the same pronunciation.
36．Which province did the term "daomei" come from
37．Were there any college entrance examinations in ancient China
38．Who chose the best candidates
39．According to the story, what did "mei" refer to(指的是) during the Ming Dynasty
