(2023·营口中考)
Recently,researchers in Israel have done an experiment and found that goldfish are able to navigate (导航) on land after receiving around 10 driving lessons.
The experiment was performed by a research team at the Ben-Gurion University.It was made to see whether goldfish could find their way in a very different environment.Researchers developed a robotic car that could drive forward,backward and from side to side.They called the car FOV—“Fish Operated Vehicle” (鱼驱动车).A goldfish was placed inside a water box on the FOV. Using a set of wheels with a camera system,the FOV recorded the fish’s movements and swimming directions,and then moved in the same direction.
The scientists worked with six different goldfish.They placed the car in a small room with a pink target (目标) on one side.The fish would get food when the car touched the target.After a few days of training,the fish navigated to the target.At first,it took them about half an hour to drive to the target.But by the end of the experiment,they were able to complete the same task in less than a minute.Shachar Givon,one of the researchers,said, “As anyone who has tried to learn how to ride a bike or to drive a car knows,it is challenging at first.”
Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive to the target,but they also weren’t fooled by false targets of other colors.They were also able to get free when the car hit a wall.Although the fish may not have realized they were moving on land,these results show that a fish has the ability to navigate outside its nature environment of water.It can enrich scientific knowledge of animals’ navigation skills.
(C)1.What is the purpose of the goldfish experiment
A.To see if goldfish could tell different colors.
B.To see if goldfish could find food and living places.
C.To see if goldfish could navigate in a different environment.
(B)2.What can be learned about the FOV
A.It was placed inside a water box.
B.It could follow the fish’s movements.
C.It was driven by a camera system.
(A)3.When would the goldfish get food
A.As long as the car touched the pink target.
B.As long as the car moved in the small room freely.
C.As long as the car avoided hitting a wall.
(C)4.What can we learn from Shachar Givon’s words
A.It was important for the goldfish to drive a car.
B.It was impossible for the goldfish to navigate.
C.It was hard for the goldfish to reach the target at the start.
(C)5.Which can be the best title for the passage
A.Good Use of a Robotic Car
B.An Experiment on Animals
C.Goldfish’s Ability to Navigate on Land

Dear teachers and students,
A clean environment can help people feel happy and healthy.But now our environment has become worse and worse.So how can we help to protect it Here are some ways.
First, we can stop driving our private cars.We can go to school or work on foot or by bus.It not only can protect the environment, but also is good for our health.Second, we are supposed to sort the rubbish into different kinds because some can be reused or recycled.Third, we should turn off the lights when leaving a room.What’s more, stop littering! It’s necessary to put things you don’t need in the bin.
There’s a lot for us to do.I think if everyone does something, our environment will become better and better.

Summer 2022 was a hard time for many.Huge heat waves (热浪) swept across European countries and parts of China.They brought extreme (极端) high temperatures and drought(干旱).
Europe has experienced its hottest summer since 1979.In Spain,temperatures quickly increased past 40℃ and it was one of the hottest summers on record.In Italy and Greece,temperatures hit 38℃ or more.Europe also experienced its most serious drought in 500 years.The dry conditions led to wildfires.The lack of rainfall caused water shortages(缺乏).As a result,water uses became a big problem.Back in China,similar things happened in the summer.Heat waves hit many places across the country.Chongqing’s highest temperature reached 45℃,breaking its historical record.In August,more than 20 forest fires happened in the area.
Heat waves are more harmful than you might expect.If people stay in high temperatures for too long,the heat will harm their bodies and make people feel sick,pass out or even die.During the 2003 heat wave in Europe,about 70,000 people died.Besides this,heat waves make some infectious diseases (传染病) even more serious.
What caused the extreme weather event Scientists said climate change was likely to be the reason.Countries and organizations are taking action to deal with it.The European Union has set its goal to achieve net zero emissions (净零排放) by 2050.China also has the goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions (碳达峰)before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和) before 2060.Many countries have carried out policies (政策),like supporting green energy and making more efficient (高效的) use of energy.
(B)6.From the passage,what problems did heat waves bring
①infectious diseases
②high temperatures
③drought
④heavy rain
A.①② B.②③ C.①④
(A)7.What does the underlined phrase “pass out” probably mean in Chinese

(2023·营口中考)
Recently,researchers in Israel have done an experiment and found that goldfish are able to navigate (导航) on land after receiving around 10 driving lessons.
The experiment was performed by a research team at the Ben-Gurion University.It was made to see whether goldfish could find their way in a very different environment.Researchers developed a robotic car that could drive forward,backward and from side to side.They called the car FOV—“Fish Operated Vehicle” (鱼驱动车).A goldfish was placed inside a water box on the FOV. Using a set of wheels with a camera system,the FOV recorded the fish’s movements and swimming directions,and then moved in the same direction.
The scientists worked with six different goldfish.They placed the car in a small room with a pink target (目标) on one side.The fish would get food when the car touched the target.After a few days of training,the fish navigated to the target.At first,it took them about half an hour to drive to the target.But by the end of the experiment,they were able to complete the same task in less than a minute.Shachar Givon,one of the researchers,said, “As anyone who has tried to learn how to ride a bike or to drive a car knows,it is challenging at first.”
Not only did the goldfish show that they could drive to the target,but they also weren’t fooled by false targets of other colors.They were also able to get free when the car hit a wall.Although the fish may not have realized they were moving on land,these results show that a fish has the ability to navigate outside its nature environment of water.It can enrich scientific knowledge of animals’ navigation skills.
( )1.What is the purpose of the goldfish experiment
A.To see if goldfish could tell different colors.
B.To see if goldfish could find food and living places.
C.To see if goldfish could navigate in a different environment.
( )2.What can be learned about the FOV
A.It was placed inside a water box.
B.It could follow the fish’s movements.
C.It was driven by a camera system.
( )3.When would the goldfish get food
A.As long as the car touched the pink target.
B.As long as the car moved in the small room freely.
C.As long as the car avoided hitting a wall.
( )4.What can we learn from Shachar Givon’s words
A.It was important for the goldfish to drive a car.
B.It was impossible for the goldfish to navigate.
C.It was hard for the goldfish to reach the target at the start.
( )5.Which can be the best title for the passage
A.Good Use of a Robotic Car
B.An Experiment on Animals

Dear teachers and students,
A clean environment can help people feel happy and healthy.But now our environment has become worse and worse.So how can we help to protect it Here are some ways.
First, we can stop driving our private cars.We can go to school or work on foot or by bus.It not only can protect the environment, but also is good for our health.Second, we are supposed to sort the rubbish into different kinds because some can be reused or recycled.Third, we should turn off the lights when leaving a room.What’s more, stop littering! It’s necessary to put things you don’t need in the bin.
There’s a lot for us to do.I think if everyone does something, our environment will become better and better.

Summer 2022 was a hard time for many.Huge heat waves (热浪) swept across European countries and parts of China.They brought extreme (极端) high temperatures and drought(干旱).
Europe has experienced its hottest summer since 1979.In Spain,temperatures quickly increased past 40℃ and it was one of the hottest summers on record.In Italy and Greece,temperatures hit 38℃ or more.Europe also experienced its most serious drought in 500 years.The dry conditions led to wildfires.The lack of rainfall caused water shortages(缺乏).As a result,water uses became a big problem.Back in China,similar things happened in the summer.Heat waves hit many places across the country.Chongqing’s highest temperature reached 45℃,breaking its historical record.In August,more than 20 forest fires happened in the area.
Heat waves are more harmful than you might expect.If people stay in high temperatures for too long,the heat will harm their bodies and make people feel sick, or even die.During the 2003 heat wave in Europe,about 70,000 people died.Besides this,heat waves make some infectious diseases (传染病) even more serious.
What caused the extreme weather event Scientists said climate change was likely to be the reason.Countries and organizations are taking action to deal with it.The European Union has set its goal to achieve net zero emissions (净零排放) by 2050.China also has the goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions (碳达峰)before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality (碳中和) before 2060.Many countries have carried out policies (政策),like supporting green energy and making more efficient (高效的) use of energy.
