Dear Helen Keller,
I'm glad to write to you again to tell you how your book has influenced me.
I read that you really brought your parents lots of 1 and they didn't know what to do! Then they found a great 2 for you-Ms. Sullivan. With great patience,she showed and taught you that there was a word to describe every object and idea.Because of Ms. Sullivan,you're now able to 3 and write by touch.
I also read that you love to ask questions. So now,I do the same thing as you do. It really helps me a lot to 4 .I am learning more now than I ever did before I lost my hearing. Maybe my mother is 5 when she says "every cloud has a silver lining*".Even when something seems really bad,a 6 thing can come from it.
I have a best friend Anna Bailey in my city. When I lost my hearing,I 7 I would lose this friend.I thought she might want to play only with people who could hear.But I was wrong.Anna stayed 8 with me. She even helped me. She told me I would get used to being deaf."It might take some time,”she said."But you'll find your feet."*”She made me feel 9.
When I first heard about you,I was really 10 and interested. Even though you are deaf and blind,you can do almost anything! You even went to college.You are like a hero to me. I hope that one day I can visit you.
Yours,
Amelia Grant

II．阅读理解（40分）
A（2023·沈阳中考）
Both my wife and I are running lovers. I usually run on the track in my neighborhood. Most people walk on the track,so I am faster than them. My speed seems amazing to the walkers and I often pass by them twenty or more times around the track.This makes me feel proud.
One day,a short man came. He didn't look like much of a runner. I saw him get out of the car and warm up before running when I passed by two walkers. He started running a few meters ahead of me. He was fast but I sped up and managed to catch up with him. I had someone to compete with. But after a lap（圈），I fell behind him and had great difficulty in breathing. After two laps, my foot began to hurt,so I had to slow down and began to run at my usual speed. This time I could breathe again without sounding like I had a lung disease（肺病）and the pain in my foot went away.In a very short time,he was far ahead. He was too fast for me to follow.
That day,I learned several lessons. In life,there will always be those slower and faster. Some have natural talent,and some have trained harder.Don't judge（判断）the capacity of a person by how he or she looks.
The point is that we each have our own speed.When we are trying to keep up, we often end up hurting ourselves and being out of breath. Slow down or speed up,but run your race to your best.Don't run fast when you should be running slowly.Don't run at all when you should be walking. Don't walk when you should be running.
1.What was the author's first impression of the short man
A.He was an amazing runner. B. He was an experienced driver.
C. He wasn't good at running. D.He was too proud of himself.
2.What happened to the author when he slowed down
A. His breath became much heavier. B. His foot didn't hurt anymore.
C.He sounded like having an illness. D. He started to have a pain in his foot.
3. What does the underlined word “capacity"probably mean
A.Age. B.Job. C.Attitude. D.Ability.
4. Which can be the best title for the text
A.The slower,the healthier B.The faster,the better C.Keep fit through running D.Enjoy your own speed
B

C（2023·德阳中考）
In the near future, the doctors who treat our illness might be tiny machines that swim through our bodies. Some movies have played with the idea of making machines the size of a cell（细胞）.Today robot technology has brought the idea closer to the real life. In my laboratory, I'm just trying to build such intelligent,or smart,tiny robots.
Tiny living things，such as bacteria（细菌），have many intelligent actions. If we can make robots copy some of them,it's very exciting. The way bacteria travel across their environment is unbelievable. At first,they move around without purpose,but when they start sensing food，like an amino acid（氨基酸），they will move gradually in that direction. As an expert making robots,I think it is great to make tiny robots that can do the same thing.
For example，look at something like E.coli（大肠杆菌）.It can sense amino acids around it. It can change how it's moving. It can rebuild or repair itself. In fact,E. coli does all these sowell that some researchers are using it as part of their tiny machines. They are making their tiny robots get free rides from E.coli. And E.coli does all the sensing for tiny robots and directs their movements.
We're already using smaller and smaller medical tools，like catheters（导管）that can travel deep into your brain to treat a blood clot（血块）.Next,we will put tiny robots into thebody that can travel into even smaller spaces and treat illness at an early time. Imagine a tiny robot that can treat a blood clot deep in your brain that can't be reached with the catheters we are using today.
We may not actually need something as powerful as artificial intelligence(AI) in these cases. We can still build a very useful tiny robot with a low degree of intelligence. For example,if a tiny robot notices a blood clot,it can slowly move in that direction, and carry medicine directly to that part. It might only have the intelligence of bacteria but could still work.
8.What can we learn about the writer
A. The writer is a middle school teacher. B. The writer is a dentist from a hospital.
C. The writer is an expert making robots. D.The writer is an expert making medicine.
9. What are some researchers doing according to Paragraph 3
A.Using tiny robots to sense E.coli. B.Letting E. coli work for their tiny robots.
C.Changing tiny robots into E. coli's drivers. D.Telling tiny robots to direct E. coli's movements.
10.What does the writer think of the catheters today
A. They will be widely used by doctors in the future. B. They are not able to get to tinier areas in the body.
C. They will be smarter than tiny robots in the future. D. They can help doctors take care of patients on time.
11.What's the last paragraph mainly about
A. AI plays an important role in developing tiny robots.
B. Tiny robots can run fast and treat a blood clot easily.
C. Tiny robots with a low degree of intelligence are still useful.
D.We still need very powerful artificial intelligence to treat illness.
D（2024·泰安一模）
Things get used up or break or we simply don't want them anymore. So,we throw most of these into the bin. "There is so much waste," says Muazu. Having completed her degree,she now works at the University of Surrey.
Amelie C té agrees. "People take, make,consume（消费）and throw away，＂ she says.She＇s an analyst（分析师）in Canada at Equiterre. It＇s an organization that looks for solutions to environmental problems. One of those problems is that too many people-especially those in the industrialized world-use and throw away far more stuff than they should.
Consuming too much stuff drains（消耗）resources. It can harm ecosystems. It also worsens climate change. According to the Global Footprint Network,last year people used 75 percent more resources than the earth can sustainably（可持续地）supply.
The opposite of consuming too much is lving sustainably. A sustainable product or process uses no more resources than the planet can supply now-and in the future.Living sustainably limits harm to the environment. WWhen the earth had fewer people and no factories or disposable（一次性的）things，it could deal with our wasteful ways. Not anymore.Now that there are soon to be 8 billion of us,we need to learn to consume in a way that doesn't harm the planet.
That's what experts like Muazu, C té and others are working towards. "Our goal," such experts say,"is to turn the line of 'take-make-use-toss' into a circle of 'reduce-reuse-repair-recycle-remake＇.＂ They also call this a circular economy（经济），where resources become products，which become resources again.
To support this cycle,people must change the way they make and use things.We can form a more circular economy. That means reducing,reusing,recycling and remaking stuffas much as possible.That way,fewer new things need to be made in the first place.
12.How does the writer start the passage
A.By giving examples. B.By listing facts. C.By answering questions. D.By describing examples.
13.What does the underlined word "limits"probably mean in Paragraph 4
A.Reduces. B.Considers. C.Produces. D.Increases.
14.Which of the following would the writer probably agree with
A.New things shouldn't be made in the future.
B.Scientists like Muazu made products become resources.
C. A circular economy should be supported and developed.
D. A lot of new things need to be made in the first place.
15.What is the best title for the passage
A.Our Throwaway Lifestyle B.A Kind of Sustainable Consume
C. The Challenge of Population Growth D. Moving to a Cycle of Reduce, Reuse,Repair and Remake
