“Going on holiday with blind people opens your eyes,” says Wendy Coley. She often goes on tours with
Travel Eyes, a company that takes tourists traveling around the world. For each tour, half of the people can see
and half can’t. A person who can see travels with a person who can’t. The world is there for sighted(有视力的)
people but that can cause problems for the blind. So, sighted members might describe the size and color of a
building, or the smiles of strangers passing by. They might explain the food, “Our lunch is a sandwich in the
center of your plate, and chips in a bowl to the right of your plate.”
Clearly, it is good for blind travelers. They are able to learn about new places and make new friends. “You
don’t worry about danger any more. That’s really important,” says Jenny Tween, a blind tourist. But it is also of
benefit(益处) to sighted travelers. Wendy is one of them. She says that when you describe what you see, you see
things in a very different way. The tour manager Hannah Vince agrees, “Sighted people learn a lot from these
trips. It’s a two-way thing.” Traveling with blind people and describing the world to them makes sighted people
go more slowly and look more closely at colors, shapes, and the sizes of things. Blind people can also help sighted
people find more about the smells of food or flowers, and the sounds of music or traffic.
In the end, this isn’t a story about people who can see helping people who can’t. It’s about people with dif-
ferent abilities showing each other new ways of experiencing the world and meeting new friends. (2025 江西

For centuries, lacquer fans (漆扇) have been loved for their beauty. Today, we’ll take a look at the story be-
hind lacquer fans.
23
初中英语专项技能实践(中考阅读)
Lacquer fans are special fans from China, and their history dates back to the Han dynasty. Later, lacquer fans
became one of the top collections in the art world during the Tang dynasty. Lacquer is a natural varnish(清漆)
from the lacquer tree. It was first used for wooden objects to protect them from water and insects. Over time,
workers began to use lacquer to make and decorate fans.
Lacquer fans are made with bamboo or wooden frames(框架). Traditionally, they are painted with different
themes(主题) and patterns(图案), such as flowers and birds, and people, to make them more beautiful. Although
the ways of making fans continue to improve, workers still use traditional techniques(技艺) to create lacquer
fans, keeping this ancient art alive.
Nowadays, lacquer fan painting is one of the most popular activities among young people. The process is
quite simple. People first choose the colors they want to use, drop the colored lacquer into the water, stir(搅拌) it,
put the fans in the water for a while, and then take them out. And that’s it.
Many people like lacquer fans. Every fan is unique, like each of us. (2025 四川达州中考改编)

How long is sanshe in the idiom tuibi sanshe
In ancient times, she was a unit of distance. One she is as 1 as 30 li. One li is 500 meters and 30 li is
15,000 meters. So sanshe is 2 kilometers.
There’s a story 3 this idiom. During the Spring and Autumn period (770 BC—476 BC), Prince Chong’er
of the Jin State ran away from his home state. He wanted to travel to other states.
Once, he went to the state of Chu. Chengwang, King of Chu, saw him as an important guest and served him
a feast(盛宴). He asked Chong’er, “If you 4 the state of Jin one day, how would you thank me ” “It seems
your state has everything you want. I have nothing you like,” Chong’er said. But the king 5 asked for some-
thing. Finally, Chong’er said, “I would ask my 6 to retreat(撤退) sanshe if we ever fight.”
Later, Chong’er returned to his home state of Jin and became its ruler called Wengong. 7 of the two
states wanted to become stronger and get more land. They went to war with each other.
Jin Wengong didn’t 8 his promise. He asked his soldiers to retreat sanshe in Chengpu. The Chu soldiers
thought that the Jin soldiers were 9 , so they followed them. To their surprise, the Jin soldiers surrounded
them. 10 , Jin won the war. This was the famous Battle of Chengpu. After this war, people used tuibi sanshe
to mean retreating to avoid a conflict(冲突). (2023 辽宁大连中考改编)

Lightning(闪电) strikes kill millions of trees each year—but it turns out that some large tropical(热带的)
trees can not only stay alive after they’re hit by a strike, but also benefit from its effects, according to a recent
study.
Some trees are getting repeatedly(一再地) hit by lightning over their lifetime. But why can they survive(存
活) Researchers don’t know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive
(导电的). That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The
lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby,
reducing competition.
Dipteryx oleifera, a tree in Panama’s forests, has probably experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays
safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees were killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know
what it is—its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama’s forests have five strikes on average(平均).
But, you know, some of them clearly have a ton,” Evan Gora, a forest ecologist(生态学家) said.
How long do these trees live in the forests People can’t do tree ring dating in tropical forests because the
trees don’t make continuous growth rings. Researchers guess many of the trees would be hundreds, or maybe
even more than 1,000 years old.
What can we learn from the study The hardest things can turn into good things, can they (2025 四川成

________________ Don’t worry. There are some useful ways to get that song or tune out of our minds.
2.______________________ Elizabeth from a music website says that if you have just got a small part of

However, Srini, a teacher from a college, says it is not necessary to try too hard to get the earworm out of

Two years ago, Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school. Plastic bottles, empty cans,
and broken toys littered the roadside. Seeing this, Sarah felt sad.
One afternoon, Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park. People stopped to buy it. That was
when Sarah got an idea.
“Mom, what if we sell handmade crafts ” she asked excitedly that evening. “Then we can buy trees for our
neighborhood with the money!”
With her mom’s help, Sarah started making crafts with great interest, using old boxes, plastic bottles and
empty cans. Every day after school, she sat in her yard, waiting for customers. At first, no one came. Sarah felt
down, but she didn’t give up.
Later, people began to stop by. A kind woman bought a cloth bag, saying it was perfect for shopping. Kids
liked the flower pots, and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys. By the end of the
first month, Sarah had made $150! She bought 30 small trees. Together with her parents, they planted the trees
around the park and along the sidewalks.
Now, the neighborhood looks nicer, and the birds have more places to rest. Sarah even teaches her friends
how to make eco-friendly(环保的) crafts after school. They organize sales every month to raise money for new
projects like bird feeders.
This year, Sarah shared her story at a local community event. “Making a greener community is important,”
she said proudly. “If everyone helps a little, we can make our life better.” She believes that no effort is too small
when it comes to caring for the environment. (2025 湖北中考改编)

Some old Chinese inventions have won wide popularity around the world. Recently, a British woman used
an ancient Chinese invention to help her son 1 a math problem.
Dr. Mantri grew up in India. She was taught 2 to use an abacus(算盘) to solve math problems when
she was young. After noticing that her son Dhruv had great difficulty with math, she started using the same an-
cient Chinese tool to help him after school.
“My son was in Grade 5 when I noticed he was 3 in math,” said Dr. Mantri. “I would ask him some-
thing very easy like ‘35-13 = ’, but he couldn’t work it out.”
“I never thought I would teach him to use such an old tool 4 I realized I could try the Chinese abacus.
It is a useful 5 to help kids better understand numbers and basic calculations(计算). Very soon I saw the
results. After six days, Dhruv started to make progress 6 with the help of the abacus. He even performed
with the abacus at a school meeting where some parents came to 7 advice on using it to help their kids.”
Known as the fifth invention of ancient China, Chinese abacus is also 8 as the earliest computer. It
helped people solve many math problems in ancient China. 9 you remember the rules, you can easily use
it. Sometimes, just move one bead(算珠), then 10 bead, and you will get the answer. What a magic tool!
So far, the Chinese abacus has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) of human
beings for 10 years ever since 2013. (2023 湖北襄阳中考改编)

I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither
has my mother. So where does the fear come from
To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in
front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes.
They found “black faces”, another example, spiders(蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we
find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them.
Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes Most of them said that
in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but wasn’t bitten
by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too
late.
So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not It may not matter much to us, but it is really
very important to snakes. People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as
pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests(害
虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals, so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance.
How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer stu-
dents went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake. It turns out
