(2024·福建福州·一模)
Morse code (摩斯密码) is a system of communication that uses dots (short marks), dashes (long marks), and spaces to represent (代表) the letters, numbers, and punctuation. Letters used often (such as “E”) got a simple code, while those not often used (such as “Q”) got a longer and more complex code.
The very first message using Morse code was sent by Samuel Morse, one of its inventors, to Alfred Vail on May 24th, 1844. The two men were 40 miles apart at the time. From then on, the way to communicate with people in far-off places was changed.
Morse code is a highly dependable communication method, even in difficult and noisy environments. It can be sent by sounds, light, or other unexpected ways. Jeremiah Andrew Denton Jr. was a prisoner of war between 1965 and 1973. As a high-ranking officer, he was forced to take part in a television interview on May 2nd, 1966. During the broadcast, which went out live in the US, Denton Jr. pretended (假装) to be blinded by the camera lights in order to blink (眨眼) a Morse code message to those watching back home.
Morse code’s heyday is long gone. It was replaced first by the telephone, then the fax machine, and finally by the Internet. But isn’t it fun to send a message in Morse Code to your friends Give it a try!

(2024·福建漳州·一模)Staffan Lindeberg is a medical teacher at the University of Lund in Sweden. He was interested in a Stone Age diet. In the early 1990s, he began to study the diet of the people on the island of Kitava as it was very close to the Stone Age diet. While there, he found that people did not suffer from (患有) heart attacks, diabetes (糖尿病), being overweight and many other diseases common in western countries.
As a result of his findings, he decided to test patients in Sweden to see how such a diet would affect them. Fourteen patients followed a Stone Age diet while another fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet, also healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables. All of the patients in the tests had high blood sugar levels, most suffered from diabetes and all had heart problems.
At the end of three months, the group following the Mediterranean diet had reduced their blood sugar levels by a small amount but those following the Stone Age diet had much lower levels of sugar in their blood. The patients in both groups also lost weight although the level of sugar in the blood and the patients’ weight didn’t seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us healthier The diet contains (包含) some meat, fish, vegetables and nuts (坚果) but it doesn’t contain any milk products or wheat, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitava people are healthier than us. After all, their life expectancy (预期寿命) is much lower. According to Staffan Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because of their poor healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they are likely to live as long as people in more developed countries.
6.What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2
A.Staffan Lindeberg’s findings. B.Patients in Sweden.
C.Diseases in western countries. D.People on the island of Kitava.
7.What did the test show

10.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text
A.To compare two different diets. B.To tell people a latest study on diets.
C.To prove the Stone Age diet is healthy. D.To introduce a healthy but forgotten eating habit.
(2024·福建漳州·一模)Most people have to work to provide the things they need in life. Another word for the work they do is industry. There are many different types of work and industry. Together they are called economic (经济的) activities. Economy means money and wealth.
Primary industries employ (雇佣) people to collect or produce natural resources from the land or sea. Farming, fishing, forestry and mining are examples of primary industries. Secondary industries employ people to make things. They are usually made from basic materials or made up of several parts. Examples are food making, paper making, house construction and car fitting.
Tertiary (第三) industries provide a service for people. They give help to others. No goods are made in this type of industry. Teachers, nurses, shop keepers and bus drivers are examples of people in tertiary industries. This is sometimes called a service industry. Quaternary industries provide a high-tech service that carries out research and provides information and advice. Examples are research scientists and people working in micro-electronics.

(2024·福建龙岩·一模)Most people are afraid of snakes. They may think snakes are dangerous and ugly. With more and more rain falling and the hot weather, it’s time for snakes to be active. Living in the city, it never crosses your mind that we might meet them face to face.
There are more than 2,000 kinds of snakes on the earth. Most of them live in mountains or forests, and in cities sometimes we can find them in grass or other dark places. Snakes can’t walk or run because they have no legs or feet, but these long and thin animals can move very fast on their stomachs. Snakes usually have green, yellow or black skins, which make it difficult for their endemics to find them. In winter they hibernate in holes. They look for a hole to stay inside, on the ground, or in a rock or a tree. They do not wake up again until spring comes. Snakes feed on mice, frogs, bird eggs and so on.
Snakes play an important part in nature. We can make useful medicine with them. Without their help, the rodents (啮齿动物) will be out of control. But many of them are in danger of disappearing. Houses and buildings take up the land where snakes live. Many snakes lose their lives in traffic, and people often kill snakes for their skins or meat.

(2024·福建福州·一模)Most modern cities have taken action to reduce traffic jams (交通阻塞) and improve air quality. But if they want to become more livable, they should think about more ambitious goals.
Amsterdam, the Dutch capital, has set a good example. It has planned to ban (禁止) gasoline and diesel vehicles, leaving only electric ones by 2030. The ban is part of the Clean Air Action Plan. The plan started in 2020 when all diesel cars built before 2005 were banned from entering the city center. In 2022, public buses that cause pollution were banned. Finally all vehicles that use engines powered by gasoline and diesel will no longer be allowed into the city by 2030.
The advantages of such bans are clear. Traffic jams waste large amounts of fuel and time each year. Pollution from cars makes climate change more serious. It is also bad for people’s health. Amsterdam’s government says car pollution reduces the life expectancy of its citizens (市民) by more than a year.
But will everyone support such plan For most people, giving up driving means life will become less convenient. Perhaps Amsterdam can help make this change to electric cars easier. For example, it can think about improving public transportation. It can also create a larger number of attractive public spaces for pedestrians. People who drive electric cars may be given discounts (折扣) on parking fees. And it can be more open to new ways of getting around, such as bike-sharing.
Saying no to non-electric vehicles is hard. But let’s think seriously about our well-being and that of our planet. Making our cities more livable has to become an urgent goal.

(2024·福建龙岩·一模)Do you know that 93 percent of our communication is through our body We call it body language. This can include the body-gesture language, head-neck language, sign language, face language and looks language. In different cultural backgrounds, the same movement might have quite different meanings, which, as a result, may usually lead to misunderstanding in communication. Misuse of body language can be an unpleasant or even dangerous experience.
In 1992, the President George H. W. Bush made a state visit to Australia. People lined up along the roadside to welcome the American President who greeted them with raised fingers in the form of “V” with the back of his hand toward the onlookers. The following morning a headline in a local newspaper announced that the American President insulted Australians. In Australia, the “V” sign with the back of the hand equals to the middle finger. But in America it means Victory.

In the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter, In more than nine cities, there are driverless taxis in China. Across the world, many “smart roads” have been in practice, and more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.
● Roads that recharge (给……充电)
Global warming has forced us to search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go.
Piezoelectric (压电的) roads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new materials. They use vibrations (震动) from passing cars to produce electricity.
Piezoelectricity, in fact, is nothing new. It was invented in 1880.
However, it has never been widely used before now. Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.
● Built-in brain
Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send people updates on weather and traffic situations, and recharge electric cars as they drive.
This seems to be a dream, but a company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can record the speed of each wheel. After having collected traffic data (数据), the roads will send it to the drivers.
● Roads that never freeze
It can be dangerous to drive in snowy weather. A tech company has developed the snowless roads. When they feel snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting (使融化) the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few roads and in some car parks.
36.What do Piezoelectric roads use to produce electricity
A.Traditional asphalt. B.Batteries in the roadside.
C.Expensive materials. D.Vibrations from passing cars.
37.What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A.Roads of the future. B.People on the road.

39.What are “Roads that never freeze” built for
A.Car parking. B.Vehicle heating. C.Safe driving. D.Electricity storing.
40.What is the main purpose of the text
A.To introduce the “smart roads”. B.To prove the value of electric cars.
C.To describe roadside batteries. D.To show dangers of snowy weather.
(2024·福建三明·一模)If you were born in the 2000s, you are called the oh-ohs. That would make you young, creative, connected, world-wide, and no doubt smart. Maybe good-looking, too.
Right But what do other people think about your generation (一代)
Some adults worry that you’re more interested in the screen in front of you than the world around you. They think of you as the “face-down generation” because you use your phone so much. They wonder how you will deal with school, friends, and family.
Other adults worry that today’s youth are spoilt (溺爱) and don’t want to face the challenges of adult life. Many children born in the 1990s and 2000s were raised by “helicopter (直升机) parents”. They were always there to guide and help their children with a busy program filled with homework and after-school activities such as dancing, drawing, or sports. With parents who do everything for them, today’s youth seem to prefer to live like teenagers even when they are in their 20s or 30s.
Does the face-down generation need a heads-up Well, probably not. The fact is that many of today’s teenagers are better educated and more creative than past generations. They seem to be willing to become leaders. More young people than ever volunteer to help their communities. There are also brave young people such as Malala Yousafzai, the teenager who won the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for pushing girls’ rights to go to school.
So if you’re one of the oh-ohs, there’s reason to be hopeful about the future. Things are looking up for the face-down generation. Chances are that you do great and laugh out loud.
41.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1
A.To show a social problem. B.To start a discussion.
C.To explain a scientific term. D.To introduce the topic.
42.According to the text, which of the following may worry some adults
A.Oh-ohs’ poor eyesight. B.Oh-ohs’ busy timetable.
C.Oh-ohs’ shortage of independence. D.Oh-ohs’ strong creativity.
43.What do “helicopter parents” do for their children
A.They help them to face the challenges.
B.They guide and plan everything for them.
C.They do the homework instead of them.
D.They keep them away from after-school activities.
44.What do we know about the face-down generation according to Paragraph 4
① creative ② brave ③ helpful ④ afraid of growing up ⑤ willing to become leaders
A.① ② ③ ⑤ B.① ② ③ ④ C.① ② ④ ⑤ D.② ③ ④ ⑤
45.What can we learn from the text

B.Oh-ohs are probably to have a bright future.
C.Oh-ohs will spend less time on phones.
D.Oh-ohs will meet more challenges than adults.

Technology is helping people to give first aid. It helps save lives faster. Technology not only makes our lives easier, it can also save lives. People who have sudden health emergencies (紧急情况) like heart disease or accidents may only have a few minutes to live unless they get help. We can use technology to offer help faster. Let’s look at some technological inventions that are helping save lives.
Smart app
Some people in the US made an app called Pulse Point. It invites common people trained in CPR (心肺复苏术) to use it. The app knows the users’ locations. If someone needs first aid nearby, a user will get a message asking them to help.
Magic gel (凝胶)
The gel can stop someone bleeding (流血) in just 10 seconds. It is made from plants. It can stick to a wound and help seal (密封) it. It was invented more than 10 years ago but was only allowed to be used on animals. Now in the US, it has been allowed to be used on humans, too. And the person from the US was only 17 years old when he invented it!
Flying aid
If people get injured or need help in hard-to-reach areas, drones (无人机) can be of great use. Because they can fly, drones can often offer help faster than people. And they can also make helping people safer for rescuers (营救者) working in dangerous conditions. The drones can have a camera that can watch your health. They can also carry useful things, like blankets or a life jacket to save someone from drowning (溺水).
46.How many technological inventions are mentioned in the text

(2024·福建三明·一模)Few words are spoken more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”. This phrase has become such a common response (反应) that it has taken on a lot of meanings.
Saying “Sorry” means to apologize (道歉). This is simple and easy to understand. We learn it both as a native speaker and as a student of foreign languages.
But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a cultural expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, looking down at his phone. A woman is walking in the opposite direction, towards the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man bumps (碰撞) into the woman. Who should say sorry Naturally, the man should say sorry, because it was he who wasn’t looking where he was going. Yet in Britain, it is common for both to apologize.
It is known that British people, like most people, do not enjoy conflict (冲突). So to quickly calm the situation, British people will apologize to each other.
Other times it may sound funny to hear “sorry”. Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter, “Sorry, but can I order another drink ” It is not to apologize, but just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn't always mean exactly what you think.
51.According to the text, “saying sorry” is a cultural expression in ________.
A.the USA B.the UK C.the PRC D.the UN
52.What does the underlined word “it” refer to

(2024·福建南平·一模)In today’s world full of digital gadgets (工具), handwritten notes and lists are becoming less common. However, did you know that there’s something special about writing with a pen on paper
Recently, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology studied the effects of handwriting. They found that when you write your shopping list or school notes by hand, you remember things better. To test this, they asked 12 grown-ups and 12 children to take part in a fun experiment. The members wore a cap with sensors (传感器) that could monitor their brain activity. They were asked to write and type while their brain activity was monitored.
The results showed that both children and grown-ups had more brain activity when they were writing by hand compared to typing. According to the study’s author, Van der Meer, writing by hand uses many senses like touch, sight, and hearing. It’s like a great exercise for your brain, which helps you learn better. Van der Meer suggests that children should start drawing and writing by hand, especially in school. She knows that it might take longer to learn to write neatly, but it’s very important for brain development.
When writing by hand, you make precise movements with your hand to form letters, which helps your brain. This is different from typing on a keyboard, where you press the same keys repeatedly. So handwriting keeps your brain in a continuous learning mode (模式).
In short, while keyboards are useful for typing articles, remember that writing things out by hand can be good for your brain. It can make learning more exciting and fun!
56.Who organized the study on handwriting and brain activity
A.Different university educators.
B.Teachers concentrating on typing skills.
C.Researchers from the Norwegian University.
D.Adults and kids from the technology industry.
57.How did the members in the experiment monitor brain activity
A.Using a smartphone app. B.Wearing a cap with sensors.
C.Writing on a digital computer. D.Watching videos on a computer.
58.What does the underlined word “precise” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese
A.笨拙的 B.精确的 C.温柔的 D.理性的
59.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
( ① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2,. . . )
A. B. C. D.
60.What’s the main idea of the passage
A.The Magic of Handwriting for shopping.
B.The Power of Writing by Hand for Learning.
C.Typing is better for learning than handwriting.
D.Handwriting keeps the brain completely still.
(2024·福建南平·一模)Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save and preserve (保护) them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5. 6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture According to the British language expert Harold Palmer, “dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language exactly shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area,” he said.
Researcher Zhang Hongming expressed his worry over the disappearance of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. At the same time, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. “So how did China make this big library A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
61.What is the main purpose of the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project
A.To perfect all dialects. B.To save and preserve local dialects in China.
C.To control local dialects. D.To regard Putonghua as the only language.
62.How many dialects are in danger of disappearing according to the passage
A.103. B.350. C.1,712. D.6,000.
63.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.A dialect. B.The language. C.A talk. D.The project.
64.What does Harold Palmer think is the significance of protecting dialect cultures
A.Dialects are useful for learning Putonghua.
B.Dialects help improve cultural communication and tourism.
C.Dialects are an expression of local history, beliefs, and biases.
D.Dialects should be replaced by international languages like English.
65.What is the situation of Wu dialect speakers in Shanghai and Suzhou nowadays
A.Children aged 6 to 15 can speak the dialect easily.
B.The dialect is widely spoken and well-preserved in these areas.
C.The Wu dialect is disappearing rapidly among younger people.
D.Young people above 15 years old can understand and speak the dialect well.
(2024·福建南平·一模)According to a report in Singapore’s The Straits Times, the Singaporean government announced that, starting from December 30, 2022, all drinks sold locally must use nutritional grade labels (营养等级标签) A, B, C, or D on their packaging, marking the percentage of sugar and saturated fat (饱和脂肪) in the drinks.
