（2024·江苏无锡·中考真题）
A theory of emotion Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.
1．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
2．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health.
3．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
4．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________.
They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

Chinese culture has great attraction for people both at home and abroad. We have seen many people from around the world express their love for Chinese culture in different forms. A growing number of foreigners have even chosen to live in China for its culture.
Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature.
Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction.
Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature, and the world,” he said.
Vincent Cazeneuve, known as Wensen Qi in Chinese, is a French artist devoted to lacquer (漆器) creation. He came to live in Chongqing in 2009. His works have been shown in art institutions both in and outside of China, and his fans have even collected some of them.

（2024·江苏扬州·中考真题）Think about how much time you spent outside last week. Really “outside.” Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count.
Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV.
You may say, “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer.”
If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago. That’s according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs “include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy…,” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.
Play is important, even for adults.
Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller. She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight... all of your senses are in use when you’re outside.”
Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out Having trouble devoting your mind to what you’re doing Too much time indoors — away from the natural world — may be a cause. Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature deficit disorder. He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being so separated from nature.”
Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle underfoot and search cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected to the natural world. No woods nearby Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park.
So the next time you sit down to spend quality time with a video game, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.
9．How does the writer first introduce the topic of outdoor play
A．By presenting the results of a recent study.
B．By introducing different kinds of outdoor play.
C．By inviting the reader to think about his or her own case.
D．By telling the reader outdoor play is good for body and mind.

C．Nature can remind us of life beyond our worries.
D．The outdoors is the best place to practise physical skills.
11．Which word is closest to the meaning of “hone” in Paragraph 6
A．improve B．limit C．produce D．organize
12．Which of the following is a good way to enjoy outdoor play
A．Walking from your car into the mall.
B．Spending your quality time with TV drama series.
C．Playing a video game of making sandcastles by the beach.
D．Watching in your local park how fast the clouds are moving.

A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year. It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom.
The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbours’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature.
Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said.
“People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely. Even if I disagree with you, I sincerely respect you. In fact, this is a very important part of human nature—the love for truth, goodness and beauty.”
13．To the Wonder is the name of ______.
A．a foreign drama B．a famous film C．a TV series D．a beautiful poem

（2024·江苏常州·三模）I used to be part of the group of “no phone calls allowed”, but now I’m used to turning on my phone’s ring (响铃声). Some of my friends usually call me at night. Then come anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours of conversations that include everything from pop culture and our days at work to our friends. It’s like being transported back to high school in the 1990s, where you would call your classmates secretly at night. When it’s finally time to end these conversations, with a silly smile on my face, I’m ready to sleep.
Why do these feelings come with a phone call, but not with a night of texting or messaging It might be because in our culture of busyness, someone taking time out to have a non-necessary phone conversation means they’re saying “You matter to me”. Neuroscientist Dr Lila Landowski says, “When we talk to people we care about—whether in person or over the phone—our brain produces oxytocin (催产素). Oxytocin is responsible for (对……负责) that feeling of being close and connected to someone. And it also makes us feel better by reducing the levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙) in our body. Text messaging doesn’t seem to have similar effects.”
But people born after 1988 seldom answer their phones. Growing up with mobile phones and messaging, they believe a phone call means less time to think about how to reply, more possibility of hurting another person, and of course more awkward (尴尬的) silence.
Yet it would seem that those who avoid the phone call are missing out. Professor Barbara Keys says research has shown that phone calls make people feel wanted, needed, included and involved (参与的). That’s certainly the case for me. I no longer see a night at home as a boring time to be filled with a TV show I’m only half-interested in. Tonight, a phone call means I’ll discover something new about someone I care about, and laugh at least three times.
17．What do we know about the writer in Paragraph 1
A．He calls others only when necessary.
B．He misses his high school classmates.
C．He enjoys the phone calls from his friends.
D．He finds it hard to sleep when he feels excited.
18．How does oxytocin influence people
A．It makes us feel connected to others. B．It processes text information.
C．It increases stress hormone levels. D．It helps us express ourselves clearly.
19．Which would the writer agree with according to Paragraph 3
A．Young people seldom miss others’ calls.
B．Young people prefer to make friends online.
C．Young people heavily depend on mobile phones.
D．Young people dislike answering phone calls these days.
20．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Before you pick up your phone, think twice
B．If you avoid phone calls, you’re missing out
C．What happens in our brain when we call others
D．How communications have changed over time

For the younger generation (一代) in China, modern toys have always been attractive. Recently, Beijing silk figurines (北京绢人), with fine clothing and lively facial expressions, have proved that they are just as attractive as modern toys.
As a form of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), Beijing silk figurines have a history of more than 1, 000 years, dating all the way to the Tang Dynasty. Usually, a traditional silk figurine is mainly made of natural silk.
He Mei is an inheritor (传承者) of Beijing silk figurines. When first seeing the dolls, she was so impressed by their appearances that she decided to learn the skill of making them. Later she set up her company in 2013 to produce silk figurines.
Now He’s team is working hard to make Beijing silk figurines go further. “People are familiar with American Barbie dolls. I want to turn Beijing silk figurines into ‘Chinese Barbie dolls’,” she said.
Traditional Chinese culture is the main source (来源) of the inspiration (灵感) for their designs. The first Beijing silk figurines the team produced were modelled after the different roles in Peking Opera. The team has also turned well-known characters from other Chinese operas into figurines.
To make its products more popular, He’s team has developed complete DIY tool bags, so people can create a figurine of their own within an hour.
Besides, He’s company has even worked with robot companies to power their figurines with technology. “The connection of the ancient folk art with technology will make people even more interested in the art,” He said.

（2024·江苏扬州·三模）Of all the Chinese 24 solar terms, Clear and Bright (清明) is the only one whose first day is also a traditional Chinese festival, the Qingming Festival. The words “clear” and “bright” describe the weather during this period. Temperatures begin to rise and rainfall increases, making it an important time for growing crops in the spring. As is known, it is a time to worship ancestors (祭拜祖先). However, here are some things you may not know about Clear and Bright.
Spring Outings
Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Flying Kites
Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this.
Cuju
Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival.
Qingtuan
In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake.

You might have already guessed this, but science has confirmed it: Hugs are good for you.
Hugs and other forms of physical touch can help with physical and mental (精神的) health in people of all ages, according to a new review of 212 studies. By combining the findings of all these studies, the research team was able to get a broader picture of how touch might be useful.
“We understood the importance of touch as a health intervention (干预), but it was still unclear how to use it best, what effects can be expected, and what the influencing things are,” says Julian, the leader of the research team.
Now, this new piece of research, covering 12,966 people across all the studies, has showed that touch helps reduce feelings of pain and anxiety (焦虑), and the positive (积极的) effect is found in both children and adults.
Although the type of touch doesn’t seem to matter too much, touching on the head or face appears to work best. Shorter and more frequent (频繁的) touches get more positive reactions, the study suggests.
Interestingly, touches from lifeless objects — weighted blankets, body pillows, or even robots — can help in terms of physical health, but they’re not so good for mental health. Touches from humans and animals tend to be effective both physically and mentally.
Newborn babies benefit from touch too, but the positive influence is greater when the touch comes from a parent, the research found. As we get older, whether or not the touch is from someone we know well becomes less important.
Of course, different people have different feelings towards touch. The researchers also emphasize (强调) that touch needs to be agreed by each other to be helpful.
“If you feel like hugging family or friends — don’t hold back, as long as the other person gives their agreement,” says Julian.
27．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Touch can only bring positive effects to children.
B．Touches from humans and animals are better for us.
C．Newborn babies need more touches than adults do.
D．Whether you are willing or not, hugging is helpful.
28．The passage points out the research direction of the study in ________.
A．Paragraph 3 B．Paragraph4 C．Paragraph5 D．Paragraph 6
29．Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “benefit” in Paragraph 7
benefit /'ben f t/(n./ v.)
① to do you good
② the advantage you have got
③ to get something good
④ a performance to raise money for a charity
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
30．According to the passage, which is the best advice for a parent to help his/her Grade 9 boy who has anxiety about exams
A．Giving him a sudden kiss. B．Hugging him as long as possible.
C．Touching him on the head or face often. D．Buying him a blanket, or a pillow, or a robot.

The Internet has made sharing material easier than before. However, it has also been easier to commit a type of crime: copyright infringement (侵权). Copyright law is not well understood among most Internet users, so most copyright crimes are committed by accident. But breaking copyright law, even by mistake, can bring you a big fine or prison time. Therefore, it’s best to educate yourself quickly before you land yourself in hot water.
Copyright infringement is similar in many ways to plagiarism (剽窃), but they are not the same. Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else’s work and saying it’s your own. Copyright infringement is the use of someone else’s work such as copying it, changing it, publishing it, or performing it without getting their permission (允许) first.
Here’s an example: Let’s say I photograph a nice view. I put the image up on my personal website. You see it, like it, copy it, and use it on your own website without asking my permission. You are breaking copyright law. This is also the case if you download music or video files from the Internet without paying for their use, or if you create a video using unlicensed (未授权的) music clips.
▲ In most countries, it lasts for the life of the creator, plus another 70 years. After that, the public can have the right to use it.
If you want to use a piece of work but aren’t sure whether it’s under copyright or not, look for the symbol or the phrases “all rights reserved”. If you see these, you need the creators’ permission to use their work. And when things aren’t so clear, it’s always better to ask the creators.
31．According to the passage, if you break the copyright law, you may ________.
A．be punished B．be put into hot water
C．get someone’s permission D．become a good creator
32．Which of the following is NOT the act of copyright infringement
A．Someone publishes your novel but you don’t know.
B．I download a clip of video without paying for the use.
C．Peter copies Mary’s design work and says it’s his own.
D．Simon uses unlicensed music and pictures to create his vlogs.
33．Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 4
A．Everyone can be a creator. B．Copyright doesn’t last forever, though.
C．Copyright is a symbol of social progress. D．There’re more and more copyright crimes now.
34．What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about
A．How to improve the copyright law. B．How to protect the copyright of your work.
C．How to deal with the copyright crimes. D．How to avoid the trouble with copyright.
（2024·江苏扬州·二模）There are two types of questions that we can ask to improve our reading skills.
The first type of question helps us check our understanding of the text. This includes the 5W+1H questions (what, where, when, who, why, and how), as well as yes-no questions. Only one correct answer exists for this type of question.
The second type makes us think more deeply about the text. For example, these questions might ask about the author’s intention, the reader’s opinions, or how the text relates to life. These questions are typically broader (更宽泛), harder to answer, and have kinds of correct answers.

（2024·江苏扬州·三模）While fake (虚假) news can take many forms, it can be divided into two broad types: misinformation and disinformation.
Misinformation Misinformation is when false information is shared by someone who believes that information to be true. Normally it isn’t done on purpose. Disinformation Disinformation is when misleading or even false information is shared with the intention to deceive (欺骗) others.
There are lots of reasons why people share fake news. Often the person sharing it doesn’t realize that it’s fake. Sometimes it’s done to advertise a service or product, so that someone can make money. It could even be done to make people laugh.
Fake news can also be shared by someone who wants others to hear their own personal opinions and be affected by them. Still, fake news is shared to influence the opinions and beliefs of others about organizations and business.
Fake news Question it!
To work out whether the “news” we are reading is fake, we can use our critical (批判性) thinking skills to ask ourselves the following questions.
Is it a mistake or just a joke
People sometimes share information, believing that it’s true, because they don’t realize that it’s a joke. It might even be April Fools’ Day!
Are there lots of spelling and grammar mistakes
If yes, it’s a sign that no one is checking the content. This could mean that those writing the content are not professional writers or journalists and the news content is untrustworthy (不可靠的).
Is the article advertising something
Sometimes a news article can influence us to buy panies will often pay a news organization to talk about their product as if it’s “news” to encourage people to buy it.
Is the headline believable
Sensational (耸人听闻的) headlines encourage us to click on a story because they catch our attention. Some people get paid for every click, so before clicking, ask yourself, does the story sound made-up, or even impossible
Is there bias(偏见)
Sometimes certain facts have been left out of a story because the writer wants the readers to believe it. Bias is an underlying (隐含的) opinion that guides our actions. See if you can fact-check the story with another news source if you’re unsure.
When fake news causes stress or hurt to the person or people it targets (将……作为目标), it is often the case that those who have helped spread it will claim they were not to blame. However, sharing fake news is just like adding fuel (燃料) to a fire. If the false information doesn’t get shared, it doesn’t get seen and cannot fulfil its purpose. When it comes to fake news, it’s not enough to not write something, we must refuse to share it too.
38．What’s the main difference between disinformation and misinformation
A．Disinformation is harmful to the public, while misinformation is not.
B．Disinformation is shared to deceive others, while misinformation is often not.
C．Disinformation is aimed at young people, while misinformation is aimed at older ones.
D．Disinformation is produced by professionals, while misinformation by ordinary people.
39．People spread fake news for the following reasons except to ________.
A．trick or entertain people B．challenge the news industry
C．make money through advertising D．influence public opinions and beliefs
40．Which of the following can help us tell if a piece of news is fake
①a biased fact is given ②its headline is sensational
③the news content seems like a joke ④any product or service is mentioned
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
41．Which of the following best describe the writer’s opinion on sharing fake news
A．Support. B．Praise. C．Doubt. D．Disagree.

The Beginning of Summer falls on May 5th this year. It’s the first solar term after spring and also the seventh solar term of the twenty-four ones. By the Beginning of Summer, everything begins to grow fast. The Beginning of Summer means farewell to spring, and the entering into summer. So it is also called “the end of spring”.
In ancient China, people divided the Beginning of Summer into three periods.
The first period: the frogs begin to sing. In early summer, frogs begin to sing and look for food in the fields and ponds. With the voice of the frogs, the taste of summer is strong.
The second period: the earthworms come out. As the temperature in the ground continues to rise, earthworms climb from the underground to the surface to breathe fresh air.
The third period: the budding of the cucumber blossom. On this day, most areas of China have the custom of eating eggs, including boiled eggs and tea eggs. Eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer is to hope that the year will be full. And people also hope to get peace in the summer. In addition to eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer, they will also “hang eggs”. Egg hanging is a bag made of colorful bags or wool, put boiled eggs in it and hang them on children’s chest. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Hanging an egg on children’s chest can prevent them from getting summer diseases.” It means health and safety, good luck, and everything is smooth.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the Beginning of Summer is a key period for the heart. High temperatures in summer are easy to cause mood problems, and diet therapy can play an important role. So people also eat a special kind of rice which is also called “colorful rice”. There are red beans, green beans, black beans, green beans and soybeans in the colorful rice. The ancients cooked the colorful rice to balance the five elements, which means producing good harvests and good health.
When the weather grows hotter, high temperatures can affect humans’ health. Food rich in vitamins in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress and celery and fruits that include watermelons, pears and strawberries are top recommendations.
42．Which expression below has the similar meaning to the underlined words “farewell to”
A．saying goodbye to B．greeting to C．showing welcome to D．saying hello to
43．Why do people eat or hang eggs on the Beginning of Summer
A．Because the eggs are delicious at this time.
B．Because they have enough eggs at this time.
C．Because they can feel cool by doing so.
D．Because they hope to get peace, luck, health and safety.

（2024·江苏无锡·中考真题）
A theory of emotion Two scientists called Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer developed the two-factor theory of emotion in 1962. They said that emotions are formed in two parts. First, the body has a physical response to a threat and then the mind considers the physical response as an emotion, which is then felt by the person. For example, imagine you are walking through a forest and you see a bear. Seeing it would probably start a physical response, such as your heart beating very fast and sweat breaking out. Your mind then decides that this is fear, which you feel as an emotion.
A new study has suggested that the key to reducing feelings of anger is not venting (letting the angry emotions out) but doing calming activities such as yoga or meditation.
The study was published in March by Sophie Kjaervik and Brad Bushman from Ohio State University in the US. They wanted to explore the popular theory that venting (expressing) anger is a good way of reducing it. Examples of venting anger include shouting or hitting something like a cushion, so that you let go of the emotion and therefore don’t feel it any more. The pair looked at 154 other studies on anger. These involved 10, 189 people, and included a variety of ages and backgrounds. In their study, Kjaervik and Bushman define anger as “an emotional response (反应) to a real or imagined threat (威胁)”. They used a theory of emotion (情绪假说) that says emotions are partly felt in your body and partly in your mind.
The scientists looked at the other studies to see how different activities influenced anger. They found that activities such as running or boxing—which are often thought to be good for dealing with anger—weren’t very good at reducing it. In fact, some of these activities actually made it worse because they increased physical responses in the body that are linked to feeling angry. For example, they made people’s hearts beat faster. However, activities that decreased physical responses in the body did help to reduce feelings of anger. These included activities that slow the heart rate, such as deep breathing, meditation and yoga. Bushman says activities that increase physical responses may be good for heart health but are “definitely not the best way to reduce anger”.
The team found jogging was most likely to increase anger. However, some heart-rate increasing activities—like ball games and team sports—could reduce anger.
1．What is the main finding of the new study
A．A new method of venting anger. B．A new method of reducing anger.
C．Good activities to vent anger. D．Good activities to reduce anger.
2．What can we learn about calming activities
A．They can reduce feelings of anger. B．They can increase the heart rate.
C．They are good for mind health. D．They are good for heart health.
3．According to Schachter and Singer’s theory, what happens first if you see a snake and feel afraid
A．You get the feeling of fear. B．You get the feeling of calm.
C．Your heart beats fast. D．Your heart beats slowly.
4．The following sentence can best be put at the end of ________.
They think this shows that fun or playful activities help to reduce negative feelings.
A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

Chinese culture has great attraction for people both at home and abroad. We have seen many people from around the world express their love for Chinese culture in different forms. A growing number of foreigners have even chosen to live in China for its culture.
Interested in Chinese classical literature, Canadian artist Brandon Collins-Green or Lin Buran in Chinese expresses his understanding of A Dream of the Red Chamber by Cao Xueqin and Chinese poems through thousands of paintings. Often painting throughout the night, he has created more than 4,200 works. Living alone in the center of Nanchang, he has come a long way since he first came here in 2015 to study ancient Chinese literature.
Brandon loves learning about the lifestyle of ancient Chinese people. “So far, I have read the novel three times, translated most of its poems, songs, lantern riddles (谜语), and dialogues into English, and completed over 1 million words of articles and 2,000 related paintings during my PhD studies,” said Brandon with pride and satisfaction.
Timur Kuvatov, director-general and editor-in-chief of the Kazakhstan Today News Agency, is a Chinese kung fu fan. He has won kung fu championships a lot of times and also served as a coach for the Kazakhstan kung fu team. “Chinese kung fu is a treasure of Chinese culture. It is not just a sport but also reflects the Chinese way of dealing with people, their understanding of life, nature, and the world,” he said.

（2024·江苏扬州·中考真题）Think about how much time you spent outside last week. Really “outside.” Walking from the car into the mall doesn’t count.
Now think about how much time you spent indoors—on the Internet or playing video games or watching TV.
You may say, “I play inside more than outside and I like to play games on the computer.”
If so, it’s likely that you spent more time inside four walls than outside in fresh air. Kids today spend two fewer hours per week on sports and outdoor activities than kids did 20 years ago. That’s according to a University of Michigan study. Non-moving activities are more popular. The costs “include overweight, greater stress, higher rates of physical and emotional illness and less joy…,” says Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder.
Play is important, even for adults.
Outdoor activity betters your senses. The next time you sit down to message your friends, take note of your senses during and after your texting. Then do the same experiment after you’ve done something outside. You will find being outdoors brings the senses to life. “Hiking, exploring, and fishing help hone all of your senses,” says Betsy Keller. She’s a professor of exercise and sports sciences at Ithaca College in New York. “Smell, sight... all of your senses are in use when you’re outside.”
Outdoor play frees your mind. Are you stressed out Having trouble devoting your mind to what you’re doing Too much time indoors — away from the natural world — may be a cause. Louv uses a term to describe the set of problems caused by too much time indoors: nature deficit disorder. He says, “I use it to describe the price we pay for being so separated from nature.”
Spending time outdoors brings you closer to the environment. When you’re out, breathe in fresh air, hear the leaves crackle underfoot and search cool birds and plants in the woods. It can help you feel more connected to the natural world. No woods nearby Nature can be found right outside your back door or in your local park.
So the next time you sit down to spend quality time with a video game, consider treating yourself to a little outdoor play instead.
9．How does the writer first introduce the topic of outdoor play
A．By presenting the results of a recent study.
B．By introducing different kinds of outdoor play.
C．By inviting the reader to think about his or her own case.
D．By telling the reader outdoor play is good for body and mind.

A．Outdoor play helps form relationships.
B．Just getting outdoors does wonders.
C．Nature can remind us of life beyond our worries.
D．The outdoors is the best place to practise physical skills.
11．Which word is closest to the meaning of “hone” in Paragraph 6
A．improve B．limit C．produce D．organize
12．Which of the following is a good way to enjoy outdoor play
A．Walking from your car into the mall.
B．Spending your quality time with TV drama series.

D．Watching in your local park how fast the clouds are moving.

A recent TV series To the Wonder has become China’s breakout TV hit of the year. It has also won praise at a film festival abroad. To the Wonder is based on the award-winning novel of Li Juan, My Altay, and is directed by Teng Congcong. It is very poetic and filled with beautiful wisdom.
The TV drama follows the journey of Li Wenxiu. She once wished to leave Altay, an area in Northern Xinjiang. After failing to realize her dream in the capital of Xinjiang, Li has to move back to her hometown and tries to find a new direction for herself. At first, Li finds it hard to understand her neighbours’ traditional way of thinking. Under the influence of her mother Zhang Fengxia, Li starts to see the place and its people in a new light. Later, she comes to understand their lifestyle and respect for nature.
Fans describe watching the drama as an experience in the wonderland. “It’s like breathing in fresh air or lying under the sun,” said one fan. “It is a unique drama, very different from the usual Chinese series. A must-watch if you want to discover the beauty of the grassland and life there,” another fan said.
“People enjoy the wonderful view of Altay. But the key to the success of the series lies in its ability to connect with the viewers on a human level,” said Teng Congcong. “In the drama, everyone communicates sincerely. Even if I disagree with you, I sincerely respect you. In fact, this is a very important part of human nature—the love for truth, goodness and beauty.”
13．To the Wonder is the name of ______.
A．a foreign drama B．a famous film C．a TV series D．a beautiful poem
14．Why does Li Wenxiu come back to Altay
A．To look after her mother. B．To find herself a new direction.
C．To help the local people. D．To enjoy its beautiful view.
15．The underlined word “unique” has the closest meaning to ______.

16．What is the key to the success of To the Wonder according to Director Teng

（2024·江苏常州·三模）I used to be part of the group of “no phone calls allowed”, but now I’m used to turning on my phone’s ring (响铃声). Some of my friends usually call me at night. Then come anywhere from 20 minutes to two hours of conversations that include everything from pop culture and our days at work to our friends. It’s like being transported back to high school in the 1990s, where you would call your classmates secretly at night. When it’s finally time to end these conversations, with a silly smile on my face, I’m ready to sleep.
Why do these feelings come with a phone call, but not with a night of texting or messaging It might be because in our culture of busyness, someone taking time out to have a non-necessary phone conversation means they’re saying “You matter to me”. Neuroscientist Dr Lila Landowski says, “When we talk to people we care about—whether in person or over the phone—our brain produces oxytocin (催产素). Oxytocin is responsible for (对……负责) that feeling of being close and connected to someone. And it also makes us feel better by reducing the levels of stress hormones (荷尔蒙) in our body. Text messaging doesn’t seem to have similar effects.”
But people born after 1988 seldom answer their phones. Growing up with mobile phones and messaging, they believe a phone call means less time to think about how to reply, more possibility of hurting another person, and of course more awkward (尴尬的) silence.
Yet it would seem that those who avoid the phone call are missing out. Professor Barbara Keys says research has shown that phone calls make people feel wanted, needed, included and involved (参与的). That’s certainly the case for me. I no longer see a night at home as a boring time to be filled with a TV show I’m only half-interested in. Tonight, a phone call means I’ll discover something new about someone I care about, and laugh at least three times.
17．What do we know about the writer in Paragraph 1
A．He calls others only when necessary.
B．He misses his high school classmates.
C．He enjoys the phone calls from his friends.
D．He finds it hard to sleep when he feels excited.
18．How does oxytocin influence people
A．It makes us feel connected to others. B．It processes text information.
C．It increases stress hormone levels. D．It helps us express ourselves clearly.
19．Which would the writer agree with according to Paragraph 3
A．Young people seldom miss others’ calls.
B．Young people prefer to make friends online.
C．Young people heavily depend on mobile phones.
D．Young people dislike answering phone calls these days.
20．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Before you pick up your phone, think twice
B．If you avoid phone calls, you’re missing out
C．What happens in our brain when we call others
D．How communications have changed over time

For the younger generation (一代) in China, modern toys have always been attractive. Recently, Beijing silk figurines (北京绢人), with fine clothing and lively facial expressions, have proved that they are just as attractive as modern toys.
As a form of national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产), Beijing silk figurines have a history of more than 1, 000 years, dating all the way to the Tang Dynasty. Usually, a traditional silk figurine is mainly made of natural silk.
He Mei is an inheritor (传承者) of Beijing silk figurines. When first seeing the dolls, she was so impressed by their appearances that she decided to learn the skill of making them. Later she set up her company in 2013 to produce silk figurines.
Now He’s team is working hard to make Beijing silk figurines go further. “People are familiar with American Barbie dolls. I want to turn Beijing silk figurines into ‘Chinese Barbie dolls’,” she said.
Traditional Chinese culture is the main source (来源) of the inspiration (灵感) for their designs. The first Beijing silk figurines the team produced were modelled after the different roles in Peking Opera. The team has also turned well-known characters from other Chinese operas into figurines.
To make its products more popular, He’s team has developed complete DIY tool bags, so people can create a figurine of their own within an hour.
Besides, He’s company has even worked with robot companies to power their figurines with technology. “The connection of the ancient folk art with technology will make people even more interested in the art,” He said.

Spring Outings
Not only is it a period to honor the dead, but it is also time for people to go out and enjoy nature. As trees turn green, flowers come out, and the sun shines brightly, everything returns to life. It is a fine time to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Flying Kites
Flying kites is an activity loved by many Chinese during Tomb-Sweeping Day. Kites are not only flown during the day time but also in the evening. Little lanterns are tied to the kites. And when the kites are flying in the sky, the lanterns look like twinkling stars at night. What makes flying kites during this day special is that people cut the string while the kite is in the sky to let it fly freely. It is said that this brings good luck and that diseases can be driven away by doing this.
Cuju
Cuju is an interesting game played during this period. Ju is a ball made of leather with hairs in it. It is said that the Yellow Emperor first invented it for training warriors. Later, Cuju was used by people to build up their bodies when they were unable to eat hot food during the Cold Food Festival.
Qingtuan
In the lower parts of the Yangtze River region, qingtuan is very popular on Tomb-Sweeping Day. Qingtuan is a kind of round green cake. In order to make the cakes, people mash (捣碎) barnyard grass (艾草) to squeeze juice from it and mix the flour and juice to a paste. Then they put fillings into the paste and steam them.

You might have already guessed this, but science has confirmed it: Hugs are good for you.
Hugs and other forms of physical touch can help with physical and mental (精神的) health in people of all ages, according to a new review of 212 studies. By combining the findings of all these studies, the research team was able to get a broader picture of how touch might be useful.
“We understood the importance of touch as a health intervention (干预), but it was still unclear how to use it best, what effects can be expected, and what the influencing things are,” says Julian, the leader of the research team.
Now, this new piece of research, covering 12,966 people across all the studies, has showed that touch helps reduce feelings of pain and anxiety (焦虑), and the positive (积极的) effect is found in both children and adults.
Although the type of touch doesn’t seem to matter too much, touching on the head or face appears to work best. Shorter and more frequent (频繁的) touches get more positive reactions, the study suggests.
Interestingly, touches from lifeless objects — weighted blankets, body pillows, or even robots — can help in terms of physical health, but they’re not so good for mental health. Touches from humans and animals tend to be effective both physically and mentally.
Newborn babies benefit from touch too, but the positive influence is greater when the touch comes from a parent, the research found. As we get older, whether or not the touch is from someone we know well becomes less important.
Of course, different people have different feelings towards touch. The researchers also emphasize (强调) that touch needs to be agreed by each other to be helpful.
“If you feel like hugging family or friends — don’t hold back, as long as the other person gives their agreement,” says Julian.
27．According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Touch can only bring positive effects to children.
B．Touches from humans and animals are better for us.
C．Newborn babies need more touches than adults do.
D．Whether you are willing or not, hugging is helpful.
28．The passage points out the research direction of the study in ________.
A．Paragraph 3 B．Paragraph4 C．Paragraph5 D．Paragraph 6
29．Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word “benefit” in Paragraph 7
benefit /'ben f t/(n./ v.)
① to do you good
② the advantage you have got
③ to get something good
④ a performance to raise money for a charity
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
30．According to the passage, which is the best advice for a parent to help his/her Grade 9 boy who has anxiety about exams
A．Giving him a sudden kiss. B．Hugging him as long as possible.
C．Touching him on the head or face often. D．Buying him a blanket, or a pillow, or a robot.

The Internet has made sharing material easier than before. However, it has also been easier to commit a type of crime: copyright infringement (侵权). Copyright law is not well understood among most Internet users, so most copyright crimes are committed by accident. But breaking copyright law, even by mistake, can bring you a big fine or prison time. Therefore, it’s best to educate yourself quickly before you land yourself in hot water.
Copyright infringement is similar in many ways to plagiarism (剽窃), but they are not the same. Plagiarism is the act of copying someone else’s work and saying it’s your own. Copyright infringement is the use of someone else’s work such as copying it, changing it, publishing it, or performing it without getting their permission (允许) first.
Here’s an example: Let’s say I photograph a nice view. I put the image up on my personal website. You see it, like it, copy it, and use it on your own website without asking my permission. You are breaking copyright law. This is also the case if you download music or video files from the Internet without paying for their use, or if you create a video using unlicensed (未授权的) music clips.
▲ In most countries, it lasts for the life of the creator, plus another 70 years. After that, the public can have the right to use it.
If you want to use a piece of work but aren’t sure whether it’s under copyright or not, look for the symbol or the phrases “all rights reserved”. If you see these, you need the creators’ permission to use their work. And when things aren’t so clear, it’s always better to ask the creators.
31．According to the passage, if you break the copyright law, you may ________.
A．be punished B．be put into hot water
C．get someone’s permission D．become a good creator
32．Which of the following is NOT the act of copyright infringement
A．Someone publishes your novel but you don’t know.
B．I download a clip of video without paying for the use.
C．Peter copies Mary’s design work and says it’s his own.
D．Simon uses unlicensed music and pictures to create his vlogs.
33．Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 4
A．Everyone can be a creator. B．Copyright doesn’t last forever, though.
C．Copyright is a symbol of social progress. D．There’re more and more copyright crimes now.
34．What’s the last paragraph mainly talking about
A．How to improve the copyright law. B．How to protect the copyright of your work.
C．How to deal with the copyright crimes. D．How to avoid the trouble with copyright.

（2024·江苏扬州·三模）While fake (虚假) news can take many forms, it can be divided into two broad types: misinformation and disinformation.
Misinformation Misinformation is when false information is shared by someone who believes that information to be true. Normally it isn’t done on purpose. Disinformation Disinformation is when misleading or even false information is shared with the intention to deceive (欺骗) others.
There are lots of reasons why people share fake news. Often the person sharing it doesn’t realize that it’s fake. Sometimes it’s done to advertise a service or product, so that someone can make money. It could even be done to make people laugh.
Fake news can also be shared by someone who wants others to hear their own personal opinions and be affected by them. Still, fake news is shared to influence the opinions and beliefs of others about organizations and business.
Fake news Question it!
To work out whether the “news” we are reading is fake, we can use our critical (批判性) thinking skills to ask ourselves the following questions.
Is it a mistake or just a joke
People sometimes share information, believing that it’s true, because they don’t realize that it’s a joke. It might even be April Fools’ Day!
Are there lots of spelling and grammar mistakes
If yes, it’s a sign that no one is checking the content. This could mean that those writing the content are not professional writers or journalists and the news content is untrustworthy (不可靠的).
Is the article advertising something
Sometimes a news article can influence us to buy panies will often pay a news organization to talk about their product as if it’s “news” to encourage people to buy it.
Is the headline believable
Sensational (耸人听闻的) headlines encourage us to click on a story because they catch our attention. Some people get paid for every click, so before clicking, ask yourself, does the story sound made-up, or even impossible
Is there bias(偏见)
Sometimes certain facts have been left out of a story because the writer wants the readers to believe it. Bias is an underlying (隐含的) opinion that guides our actions. See if you can fact-check the story with another news source if you’re unsure.
When fake news causes stress or hurt to the person or people it targets (将……作为目标), it is often the case that those who have helped spread it will claim they were not to blame. However, sharing fake news is just like adding fuel (燃料) to a fire. If the false information doesn’t get shared, it doesn’t get seen and cannot fulfil its purpose. When it comes to fake news, it’s not enough to not write something, we must refuse to share it too.
38．What’s the main difference between disinformation and misinformation
A．Disinformation is harmful to the public, while misinformation is not.
B．Disinformation is shared to deceive others, while misinformation is often not.
C．Disinformation is aimed at young people, while misinformation is aimed at older ones.
D．Disinformation is produced by professionals, while misinformation by ordinary people.
39．People spread fake news for the following reasons except to ________.
A．trick or entertain people B．challenge the news industry
C．make money through advertising D．influence public opinions and beliefs
40．Which of the following can help us tell if a piece of news is fake
①a biased fact is given ②its headline is sensational
③the news content seems like a joke ④any product or service is mentioned
A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④
41．Which of the following best describe the writer’s opinion on sharing fake news

The Beginning of Summer falls on May 5th this year. It’s the first solar term after spring and also the seventh solar term of the twenty-four ones. By the Beginning of Summer, everything begins to grow fast. The Beginning of Summer means farewell to spring, and the entering into summer. So it is also called “the end of spring”.
In ancient China, people divided the Beginning of Summer into three periods.
The first period: the frogs begin to sing. In early summer, frogs begin to sing and look for food in the fields and ponds. With the voice of the frogs, the taste of summer is strong.
The second period: the earthworms come out. As the temperature in the ground continues to rise, earthworms climb from the underground to the surface to breathe fresh air.
The third period: the budding of the cucumber blossom. On this day, most areas of China have the custom of eating eggs, including boiled eggs and tea eggs. Eating eggs on the Beginning of Summer is to hope that the year will be full. And people also hope to get peace in the summer.

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the Beginning of Summer is a key period for the heart. High temperatures in summer are easy to cause mood problems, and diet therapy can play an important role. So people also eat a special kind of rice which is also called “colorful rice”. There are red beans, green beans, black beans, green beans and soybeans in the colorful rice. The ancients cooked the colorful rice to balance the five elements, which means producing good harvests and good health.
When the weather grows hotter, high temperatures can affect humans’ health. Food rich in vitamins in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, watercress and celery and fruits that include watermelons, pears and strawberries are top recommendations.
