It was a period when the Greeks highly respected great thinkers and teachers, such as Pythagoras, Socrates, Democritus, and Plato. Many historians believe that Aristotle was greater than all o

121、f them.Aristotle is called “the father of biology”. Many of his discoveries are still considered correct today. For example, it was Aristotle who first wrote that dolphins are not fish through close observation, he had found out that they give birth to their babies rather than laying eggs, and that

122、mother dolphins feed milk to their young.Aristotles way of grouping animals may have been his most important achievement in biological science. He placed the animals into two groups: those with blood and those without. Experts used his system for over 2,000 years. In 1758, a Swedish scientist discov

123、ered a new way of grouping animals. In fact, Aristotles way of grouping, though a little bit different, were approximately the same as the modern grouping system of vertebrates and invertebrates.Professor Nardo wrote: “Although Aristotle paid much attention to the importance of evidence (证据), he fai

124、led to realize that doing experiment is almost always the best method of finding it. Yet, when he did simple and basic experiments, Aristotle was able to make mostly correct conclusions.”He also wrote that “Aristotles influence on the future growth of knowledge was both negative and positive .” For

125、example, Aristotle believed that the planets went around the Earth, not the Sun. Because the later scientists believed in him blindly, their progress in astronomy was “stopped”.

She takes it as the most important thing everyday. “I feel really confident on stage,” she said.But Misty didnt always feel so confident.

130、The hard time in the past made her strong. The day she turned 21, Misty found it difficult to rise to her feet, which was a disaster for a dancer.

136、 on Christmas Day, 1642. From the very first Newton was very much interested in the mysteries of nature. Why did objects move? Why could we see that stones rolled down hills, wind blew leaves along the ground, and heavy objects fell to the earth when dropped? At the age of twenty-three, Isaac Newton

137、 moved from Cambridge to his country home. There, his thoughts turned to the problems of motion (运动定律). As Newton himself later told the story, he was sitting in the garden one evening, thinking, when he noticed a falling apple. The apple set him to wondering about the movement of falling objects. I

138、t occurred to him that the force which caused fruit to fall from trees worked as well at greater distances from the center of the earthon top of buildings or even on top of mountains. Perhaps, thought Newton, this same force reached out much farther still, even to the moon. Newton began to search fo

139、r a mathematical expression of his idea. In 1669, Newton became a professor of mathematics at Cambridge. Three years later, he joined the Royal Society. Before long, Newton began again to study the problems of motion. At last, he seemed to have solved the main difficulties, but he did not publish hi

140、s findings at once. Only in 1687 did he at last publish his new theory. Newtons great work, The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, marked the success of the Scientific Revolution. Newton put the famous three laws of motion in it. Newton was soon recognized as the leader of English scienc

141、e. In 1703, he became the president of the Royal Society. Science was never quite the same after Newtons discoveries. No wonder that the eighteenth-century poet Pope, looking back at Newtons work, wrote: Nature and Natures laws lay hid in night; God said, Let Newton be!And all was light. Newton, how

142、ever, never rested on his fame (名望). He continued to work and study. In his last years, he once said to a friend, “I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy, playing on the seashore, and now and then finding a smoother pebble (鹅卵石) or a prettier

143、shell, while the great ocean of truth lay undiscovered before me.”1. Where did Newton begin to turn to the problems of motion?A. At home.B. At Cambridge.C. Outside the garden.D.

146、ly focused on working and studying.C 说明文Passage 1（2023年中考试题）When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when working out the “theory of relativity(相对论)”. “Imagination is more important

147、than knowledge,” said Einstein. Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that arent happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remember

148、ing how much you enjoyed a birthday party. According to Chinas health authorities(权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity. Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind escape when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagi

149、ning how youre going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits (限制) to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thin

150、ks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings,” he said. However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you dont have to focus on anything, like going for a wa

151、lk or brushing your teeth. Guo suggests you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup. To encourage creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more soluti

152、ons to problems after theyve taken a break. So next time youre stuck with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.1. Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1?A.

155、ct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necess

156、ary information on cards: interesting words, common wordsboth in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task

157、could last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (AZ). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away

158、 some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.So, the writing of a dictionary was not

159、 a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or wr

160、iting, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.1. Why did dictionary writers read important books?A. To know more about the period.B. To

161、collect words and their uses.C. To understand different subjects.D. To learn to use interesting words.2. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past? A. -B. -C. -D. -3. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?A. It should be done by histori

162、ans.B. It was a task of inventing and recording.C. It was long-time hard work.D. It had to use the law-making rules.4. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?A. Be open to the new uses of words.B. Follow the dictionary strictly.C. Use online dictionaries instead.D

163、. Try to create new words.Passage 3（2023年广州一模试题）Teens often find themselves hard to communicate their needs or their values with friends and others. Even when their gut （直觉） is telling them that someone is crossing a line with them, its difficult for them to express that the situation is making them

164、 uncomfortable. For this reason, teens need to learn how to set boundaries （界限） with others.Although boundaries are different for everyone, they help teens set limits （ 限制） with others in order to protect themselves. Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK a

165、nd what is not OK with them, and it is essential for teen friendships.Explanation of BoundariesBoundaries are limits teens set in order to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied.

167、hy.Unfortunately, many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends. When this happens, it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying. Setting boundaries with other people not only helps keep teens safe but also help protect their mental health. Being in an u

168、nhealthy relationship has a number of bad results.If teens have people in their lives such as unkind friends, a controlling partner, or an adult that makes them feel uncomfortable and disrespected, they need to consider setting boundaries with those people._In fact, teens will run into a number of d

169、ifferent situations throughout their life that challenge their values and their beliefs. Knowing how to set boundaries can help them stay safe and be true to who they are.

Which part of the newspaper is the passage most probably from?A. Quiz Time.B. Topics in Focus.C. Mind Station.D. Scientific Study.Passage 4（2023年福建中考试题）Sc

173、ientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. Its the first time its been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself a

174、nd carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned

175、. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the mean

176、ing of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I dont have my drivers license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had

177、 learnt from one person but it was tested on another, it couldnt understand their thoughts.The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these ty

178、pes of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.” The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.1.

Jiang Tai Gong once served the king of Shang dynasty,

183、 and began to hate him for tyranny from the bottom of heart. Jiang Tai Gong was a genius in military tactics and government management. He lived near the Weihe River about 3,000 years ago. The area was the feudal estate of Count Ji Chang. Jiang Tai Gong knew Ji Chang was very ambitious, so he hoped

184、to get Jis attention.He often went fishing at the Weihe River, but he would fish in an unusual way. He hung a straight fishhook, without bait, three feet above the water. Lookers-on were curious about it, and Jiang Tai Gong explained, “I would like to take honestly rather than to ask for with the kn

185、ees down. I fish not for the fish but for the nobility (高贵).” Later words traveled to Count Ji. He sent a soldier to invite him. Jiang Tai Gong ignored the solider, going on with fishing, and was talking to himself, “Fishing, fishing, no fish has been hooked. A shrimp is up to mischief (恶作剧).” The s

186、oldier reported this back to Ji Chang, who became more interested in this man. Then, Count Ji sent an official to invite him. It didnt work. Finally Ji Chang realized Jiang may be a genius, so he went to invite Jiang Tai Gong himself. Jiang saw his sincerity and honesty and finally decided to work f

188、tter what the result is. This idiom has been passed on from generation to generation. To some degree, it could be regarded as a part of Chinese philosophy.1.

That makes poems difficult to write but very interesting to read. They use colours, feelings, experiences, and images to paint a picture in your mind

192、. Lets have a look at the following Chinese classical poem: On the Stork TowerBy Wang ZhihuanThe sun along the mountain bows,The Yellow River seawards flows,You can enjoy a grander sight,If you climb to a greater height, Translated by Xu YuanchongIn Chinese classical poems, the form is very importan

193、t: the correct number of lines and the number of words in each line. Poems often follow special models of rhythm（节奏）and rhyme. However, modern poets begin to reject traditional forms and structures（结构）for poems in the 20th century. As a result, most poems today are written in free style, with lines

194、of different lengths.Today many Chinese people are becoming more interested in reading poems, no matter in what language they are written. Translations can be good, but being able to read in the original（最初的）language is best.1. What do the first two lines of the poem On the Stork Tower show?A. Love.

197、work than teamwork, right? Actually, I disagree. Teamwork can be hard. In fact, it was so difficult that I left my office job and started working from home on my own. Its a much better fit for me, and it has made me think about why teamwork can make our jobs harder rather than easier. Personalities

198、(个性) can make teamwork difficult. Theres often someone on the team that puts their needs first. The team often goes along with this person, whose ideas might not be the best, just the loudest. Just one difficult personality can make teamwork hard. Combine (结合) several challenging personality types,

199、and its even harder. Not having enough time together can also make teamwork challenging. For example, I was once on a team where we never had enough time to meet as a group. To successfully work as a team, you need time togetherand lots of it. A final reason teamwork is difficult is because theres o

200、ften no training on how to work on a team. You cant just put people in a room and expect them to work well with each other. You need to build trust with your team members. Think of football players: They arent just given a ball and told to play. They practice, and they train. Team can be hard, but w

201、orking alone has its challenges, too. When my computer doesnt work, I dont have an IT person to turn to. When I have a great idea, I dont have anyone to share it with to see if it really is a great idea. Dont get me wrongI still like my team of one and enjoy making all of the important decisions mys
