阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
In 2022, a research team from a coastal university published a report on rising sea temperatures. The study, carried out between 2018 and 2022, collected water samples from twelve bays along the southern coast. The researchers also used satellite images to measure surface temperatures. Their results showed an average rise of 1.2°C in the surface water over the four-year period. However, the scientists did not stop at the numbers. In the conclusion of the report, they warned that if the warming continues at the same speed, coral in these bays could disappear within twenty years, and they urged local governments to limit industrial waste water flowing into the sea.
Many readers find such reports hard to follow because they confuse the results with the conclusion. The results simply present what the data show, while the conclusion explains what the data mean and what should be done next. Signal words such as "methods", "results" and "conclusion" help readers find their way through a scientific report. In this report, for example, the phrase "carried out between 2018 and 2022" belongs to the methods part, and the warning about the coral belongs to the conclusion. Learning to tell these parts apart is the first step towards reading science with confidence.
1. Which of the following best describes the structure of the report mentioned in the passage?
A. Introduction — Methods — Results — Conclusion
B. Conclusion — Results — Methods — Introduction
C. Introduction — Results — Methods — Conclusion
D. Methods — Introduction — Conclusion — Results
2. What can we learn about the data in the report?
A. The water samples were collected from twenty bays between 2018 and 2022.
B. The average rise of 1.2°C was measured only by satellite images.
C. The data cover the years from 2018 to 2022 and come from both samples and satellite images.
D. The data show that the coral in the bays has already disappeared.
3. According to the passage, the warning about the coral is part of the report's ______.
A. methods
B. results
C. conclusion
D. introduction
4. The phrase "tell these parts apart" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. separate one part from another
B. write a report quickly
C. add more data to a report
D. read a report aloud in class
- A. Introduction — Methods — Results — Conclusion
- B. Conclusion — Results — Methods — Introduction
- C. Introduction — Results — Methods — Conclusion
- D. Methods — Introduction — Conclusion — Results
答案:A
解析:本题以科技创新情境(沿海海水温度研究、卫星监测)考查科学报告结构分析(考点2)与细节理解(考点3),难度偏基础。
第1题:文章第二段明确说明 results 呈现数据、conclusion 解释意义并提出建议,且列举信号词 "methods", "results", "conclusion",科学报告的常规结构为引言—方法—结果—结论,故选A。易错点:混淆 results 与 conclusion 的顺序(误选C),或被第二段叙述顺序干扰。
第2题:根据第一段,研究时间为 2018—2022,样本来自十二个海湾,并结合卫星图像测量表层温度,C 项「数据覆盖2018至2022年,来自样本与卫星图像」与原文一致。A 项「twenty bays」与原文 twelve bays 不符;B 项「only by satellite images」忽略了水样;D 项「has already disappeared」与原文「could disappear within twenty years」(预测)不符,混淆结果与预测。故选C。
第3题:原文明确说 "the warning about the coral belongs to the conclusion",且结论部分的功能正是解释数据意义并提出建议,故选C。易错点:把「警告」误当作 results(数字事实),忽略 signal words。
第4题:结合上下文,「tell these parts apart」意为把报告各部分区分开来,与 separate one part from another 同义,故选A。易错点:受中文「讲述」影响误选其他选项,脱离语境。
2选择题
Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C and D.
For years, Mia had dreamed of winning the city science fair. This year, she entered with a small water-purifying filter she had built from sand, charcoal and cotton. The night before the fair, however, she tested it one last time and found that the water was still cloudy. Panic rose in her chest. She thought of dropping out, but then she remembered her grandfather's words: "A problem is only a problem until you sit down and solve it." She stayed up until midnight, adding a second layer of cotton and adjusting the flow of water. The next morning, the filter worked perfectly, and Mia walked into the exhibition hall with quiet confidence.
Which of the following best describes Mia's attitude towards the problem mentioned in the passage?
- A. She gave up because the task was too difficult.
- B. She remained calm and actively tried to solve it.
- C. She blamed her grandfather for the failure.
- D. She refused to take part in the science fair at all.
答案:B
解析:本题属于阅读理解中的态度/性格判断题,同时紧扣本册「读后续写」考点中的第一步「读:抓人物、情节和线索」——只有准确把握人物面对冲突时的反应,才能写出与前文呼应的续写。
解题线索:文中 "She stayed up until midnight, adding a second layer of cotton and adjusting the flow of water" 与 "walked into the exhibition hall with quiet confidence" 明确表明 Mia 没有放弃,而是冷静地寻找解决办法。
易错点:
1. 受 "Panic rose in her chest. She thought of dropping out" 一句干扰,误选 A 或 D,忽略后文她实际采取的行动;态度题应以人物最终行为为准。
2. 误选 C,文中提到 grandfather 只是引用他的话作为鼓励,并无责怪之意。
结论:Mia 的态度是冷静、积极解决问题,故选 B。

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Last summer, my school launched a small engineering project: designing a low-cost water filter for a village near a river. Our team of four was given three weeks and a limited budget. At first, everyone was excited. We collected data on the villagers' needs and drew up a plan. However, when we began testing our first model, the filter worked too slowly and the water still looked cloudy. Frustration spread quickly. Two teammates suggested giving up and buying a ready-made product, but I disagreed.
That evening, I stayed in the lab alone. I read the instructions again and noticed a line I had ignored: "The sand layer must be packed tightly, or impurities will pass through." Early the next morning, I called the team back. We repacked the filter carefully, tested it three times, and finally obtained clear water. On the last day, we demonstrated the device to the villagers. A little girl tasted the water and smiled. "It is clean," she whispered. I felt a warm sense of pride that no prize could replace.
Which of the following best describes the author's attitude towards the project?
- A. Doubtful about whether the team could finish on time.
- B. Disappointed that the final product was not perfect.
- C. Responsible and proud of the team's practical achievement.
- D. Indifferent to the villagers' reaction to the device.
答案:C
解析:本题考查科技工程实践情境下的态度推断,属于基础题。定位末段:作者认真复读说明、召集队员重新压实滤层、最终得到清水,并写到 "I felt a warm sense of pride that no prize could replace",可直接推出作者对团队的实际成果感到责任在肩且自豪。A 项与文中作者坚持不放弃的态度相反;B 项曲解了 "no prize could replace",并非对产品不满;D 项与小女孩喝水后作者的欣慰反应矛盾。易错点:只凭第一段的 "frustration" 就判断作者消极,忽略全文情感走向;或把事实描述当作作者观点。故选C。
4填空题
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容用括号内所给词的适当形式填空,或在空白处填入1个适当的单词。
Last summer, our robotics team entered a national engineering competition. The task was simple to describe but hard to complete: build a small rescue robot that could cross rough ground and carry a bottle of water to a marked spot within three minutes. We had spent weeks (1) ______ (prepare) for it, yet on the morning of the final round our robot suddenly refused to move.
The hall was crowded and noisy. My teammate, Lin, stared at the silent machine and whispered, "We are finished." I felt my heart sink, but I remembered what our coach always told us: a good engineer stays calm (2) ______ the situation gets difficult. Taking a deep breath, I knelt down and checked the wires (3) ______ (connect) to the motor. To my relief, one of them had come loose. With shaking fingers, I fixed it and tightened the screws, (4) ______ (hope) the robot would wake up.
When the judge called our name, the robot moved forward smoothly. It climbed over the wooden blocks, crossed the sandy patch and finally stopped exactly where it should. The audience cheered. What (5) ______ (touch) me most was not the prize we won, but the lesson I learned that day: problems can be solved only if you refuse to give up.
答案:1. preparing 2. when / whenever / even if 3. connected 4. hoping 5. touched
解析:本题考查语法填空中非谓语动词、定语从句/状语从句与动词时态三大考点,同时以科技创新与工程实践为情境,贴近本册重点。
第1空:spend time (in) doing sth. 为固定结构,故填 preparing。易错点:受中文影响误填 to prepare 或 prepared。
第2空:引导时间/让步状语从句,when、whenever、even if 均可。易错点:填 which/that,但此处缺的是状语从句连接词,不是定语从句。
第3空:wires 与 connect 是被动关系,作后置定语,用过去分词 connected。易错点:填 connecting,误认为是主动;本题即课本例句 "The book written by him is popular" 的直接变形。
第4空:I 与 hope 是主动关系,且作伴随状语,用 hoping。易错点:非谓语逻辑主语判断错误,填 hoped 或 to hope。
第5空:由 that day 与 learned 可知叙述过去发生的事,用一般过去时 touched。易错点:填 touches,忽略上下文时态。
5填空题
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容和括号内所给词的适当形式填空,并结合前文线索完成续写任务。
【前文线索】
Lina, a senior high student, joined a robotics club and spent weeks building a small rescue robot for a city-wide competition. On the day of the final round, her robot suddenly stopped in the middle of the track. The audience fell silent. Lina knelt beside the machine, her hands shaking slightly. She remembered her teacher's words: "A true engineer stays calm and checks every connection." She opened the tiny cover and found that a wire had come loose. With only ninety seconds left, she reconnected the wire and pressed the start button. The robot moved forward again, slowly at first, and then steadily toward the finish line.
【续写任务】
1. 根据前文线索,用括号内所给词的适当形式填空:
(1) Lina stayed calm, ______ (check) every connection carefully.
(2) The robot, ______ was designed to help in disasters, finally reached the finish line.
(3) If Lina ______ (give) up at that moment, the team would have lost the match.
2. 续写一段合理又生动的结尾(约 80 词),要求:① 情节与前文呼应,体现 "读、思、写" 三步续写;② 使用动作描写和心理描写,语言生动;③ 不得与前文脱节,不得照抄原文。
答案:1. 填空答案:
(1) checking(非谓语动词作伴随状语,逻辑主语是 Lina,表示她一边保持冷静一边检查)
(2) which(定语从句修饰 robot,非限制性定语从句且作主语,用 which)
(3) had given / had not held on(虚拟语气,与过去事实相反,if 从句用过去完成时,主句用 would have done;若按句意写 had given up,则主句 "would have lost" 成立)
2. 参考续写结尾:
When the robot crossed the line, a wave of relief washed over Lina. Her heart was still beating fast, but a wide smile spread across her face. Her teammates rushed forward and hugged her tightly. "You did it!" they shouted. Lina looked at the little machine and gently touched the wire she had repaired. She thought to herself that engineering was not only about building robots, but also about staying calm when things went wrong. From that day on, she believed that every failure was a step closer to success.
解析:本题结合 Unit 6 科技创新情境与读后续写专项,考查非谓语动词、定语从句、虚拟语气三个高频考点,同时训练三步续写。第 (1) 题易错:误填 to check 或 checked,忽略了 Lina 与 check 之间是主动的伴随关系,故用 checking;第 (2) 题易错:填 that,但本句为非限制性定语从句(逗号隔开),只能用 which;第 (3) 题易错:写成 gave up,混淆了真实条件句与虚拟语气,与过去事实相反要用 had given up,主句用 would have done。续写部分易错:一是情节与前文脱节(例如写成参加别的比赛、机器人被换新),必须回应 "wire 修复""老师的话""团队"等线索;二是描写平淡,只写 "We were happy.",应加入动作描写(rushed forward, hugged, touched)和心理描写(relief washed over, heart beating fast, thought to herself),使结尾生动连贯。

Paragraph 1: I grabbed the fire extinguisher and ran back toward the lab.
Paragraph 2: Standing outside the lab with my classmates, I finally understood what the safety manual had meant.
---
As part of our engineering class project, my team had spent three weeks building a small solar-powered water purifier. On Friday morning, our teacher, Ms. Reed, asked us to present the model to a group of visiting scientists. I was in charge of the final test: pouring a sample of muddy water into the device and checking whether the filtered water came out clean.
While I was adjusting the wiring near the power unit, I noticed a strange smell, like burnt plastic. Then a thin line of smoke began to rise from the circuit board. My partner, Leo, shouted, "Something's wrong! The battery is overheating!" My heart pounded. The visiting scientists were sitting just two meters away, and the wooden workbench was covered with paper reports.
Ms. Reed's voice came back to me at once. Only two days before, she had made us read the lab safety manual aloud. "In case of fire, do not use elevators," it said. "Evacuate via stairways and gather at a safe spot. Prevention comes first: keep a fire extinguisher within reach and switch off the power before anything else." I had thought the manual was boring and had barely paid attention.
Now the smoke was getting thicker. Leo froze, not knowing what to do. Some of the visiting scientists stood up nervously. Ms. Reed was at the other end of the room, helping another team. I swallowed hard and looked at the red extinguisher hanging on the wall near the door.
Paragraph 1: I grabbed the fire extinguisher and ran back toward the lab.
Paragraph 2: Standing outside the lab with my classmates, I finally understood what the safety manual had meant.
答案:One possible version:
Paragraph 1: I grabbed the fire extinguisher and ran back toward the lab. "Switch off the power first!" I shouted to Leo, remembering the very first line of the safety manual. Leo's trembling fingers found the switch, and the humming of the battery died away. I pulled the pin, aimed the nozzle at the base of the smoke, and pressed the handle firmly. A cloud of white powder burst out, and the thin line of smoke slowly disappeared. Meanwhile, Ms. Reed had hurried over and guided the visiting scientists out through the stairway, asking everyone to gather at the safe spot in the courtyard. Only when the last person had left did I put the extinguisher down, my hands still shaking.
Paragraph 2: Standing outside the lab with my classmates, I finally understood what the safety manual had meant. The three simple steps—prevent, act, gather—had not been boring words on paper at all; they were the exact actions that had kept us safe. Leo patted my shoulder and admitted that he had skipped the manual too. Ms. Reed smiled and said that a good engineer prepares for danger long before it arrives. Thinking of the burnt smell and the white powder, I promised myself that I would never again ignore a safety instruction. That afternoon, I rewrote the manual's key points in large letters and taped them onto our workbench.
解析:本题为读后续写,考查「读—思—写」三步续写能力,同时融入科技创新与工程实践情境(太阳能净水器实验、实验室安全说明),呼应考点1(安全说明写作)与考点5(急救/安全术语理解)。
写作思路:
1. 读:抓线索——安全手册中的关键信息「switch off the power / do not use elevators / evacuate via stairways / gather at a safe spot / prevention comes first」,以及人物(我、Leo、Ms. Reed、来访科学家)、冲突(电池过热冒烟)、伏笔(我此前觉得手册无聊、没认真读)。
2. 思:结局应是火情被控制、人员安全撤离;冲突解决需呼应前文伏笔——我此刻记起并运用了手册内容。第二段须体现主题升华(安全意识的重要性),并回应「barely paid attention」这一线索。
3. 写:第一段以动作描写为主(grabbed, pulled the pin, aimed, pressed, burst out)与语言描写(喊话),第二段以心理描写为主(understood, promised myself)与细节呼应(burnt smell, white powder),使情节连贯、语言生动。
易错点:
① 情节与前文脱节:续写中不提安全手册、不提「gather at a safe spot」等原文线索,或自行增加与前文矛盾的情节(如实验室爆炸、有人受伤送医),导致不呼应。
② 描写平淡:通篇用「I did... and then I did...」流水账,缺少动作、心理、语言描写,语言不生动。
③ 忽略段落开头语:续写内容与所给开头句衔接不自然,或两段内容重复。
④ 情节不合理:未断电就直接使用灭火器、使用电梯疏散等,与安全常识和前文材料冲突。
⑤ 词数不当或未按两段格式作答。

阅读下面短文,根据所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Liu Wen, a senior high school student, had been working on a small robot for the school science competition for three months. The robot was designed to sort recyclable waste automatically. The night before the final test, she stayed in the lab until midnight, adjusting the sensor again and again. "One last try," she whispered to herself. She pressed the start button. The robot moved forward, picked up a plastic bottle — and suddenly stopped, its arm shaking violently. A thin line of smoke rose from the circuit board. The lab smelled of burnt plastic. Liu Wen froze, her heart sinking. All her weeks of work seemed to have gone up in smoke. Her teammate, Chen Hao, who had gone home earlier, sent her a message: "How is it going? Ready for tomorrow?" She typed back "Fine" — then deleted it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
At that moment, the lab door opened and Mr. Gao, their physics teacher, walked in.
Paragraph 2:
The next morning, the robot rolled onto the competition floor with a new sensor.
答案:参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
At that moment, the lab door opened and Mr. Gao, their physics teacher, walked in. Seeing the smoke, he rushed over and cut off the power without a word. Liu Wen's eyes were red. "I've ruined everything," she said, her voice trembling. Mr. Gao picked up the burnt board and examined it calmly. "The sensor overloaded because the voltage was set too high," he said. "It's a small mistake, not a failure." He opened a drawer, took out a spare sensor, and sat down beside her. Together they soldered the wires, tested the circuit, and watched the robot lift a bottle smoothly. Relief flooded through Liu Wen, and she finally smiled.
Paragraph 2:
The next morning, the robot rolled onto the competition floor with a new sensor. When the judge pressed the start button, it moved steadily, sorting bottles, cans and paper into three boxes without a single pause. The audience clapped loudly. Liu Wen looked at Mr. Gao and Chen Hao in the crowd, her eyes shining. She had learned that a real engineer is not someone who never fails, but someone who fixes the failure and tries again. When her name was called for the first prize, she ran onto the stage, holding the little robot tightly to her chest.
解析:本题考查读后续写三步法:读(抓住人物Liu Wen、冲突:比赛前夜机器人烧毁、线索:传感器/电路板)、思(确定结局:修复后参赛成功,冲突解决)、写(用动作、心理描写使情节连贯生动)。易错点:①情节与前文脱节——续写若直接写"第二天获奖"而不交代如何修复,前文的烧毁情节就成了断点,必须让Mr. Gao的出现与"传感器过载"呼应;②描写平淡——只写"She was sad. Then she was happy."缺少动作(rushed over, cut off the power)与心理(Relief flooded through her)描写,语言生动性不足。两段开头语已限定情节走向,第一段须完成"修复",第二段须完成"参赛",不可颠倒或另起炉灶。

Every summer, my grandfather took me to the river near his village to watch the old waterwheel turn. This year, however, the wheel stood still. "The villagers now use electric pumps," Grandpa said quietly, touching the wooden frame. "Nobody needs the wheel anymore." I noticed how his shoulders drooped. On our way home, we passed the village library, where a poster caught my eye: "Traditional Technology Exhibition — Show how old tools work." An idea lit up in my mind. That evening I told Grandpa, "Let's repair the waterwheel and put it in the exhibition." He shook his head. "The main shaft is cracked. It would take days." But I had already made up my mind.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Early the next morning, I cycled to the river with Grandpa's old toolbox.
Paragraph 2:
On the exhibition day, the repaired waterwheel drew a crowd.
答案:参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Early the next morning, I cycled to the river with Grandpa's old toolbox. Grandpa followed slowly behind me, still doubtful. I knelt beside the wheel and examined the cracked shaft carefully, just as he had taught me. We sanded the wood smooth, fitted an iron band around the crack, and tightened every joint. Sweat ran down my face, but I did not stop. When I finally pushed the wheel, it turned — first slowly, then steadily, throwing silver drops into the sunlight. Grandpa's eyes lit up, and for the first time that summer he laughed. "You did it," he said, patting my shoulder. Pride rose in my chest like the rising water.
Paragraph 2:
On the exhibition day, the repaired waterwheel drew a crowd. Children pressed close, asking how the wooden blades could lift water without electricity. Grandpa stood beside it, explaining every detail with a broad smile, his voice full of energy. I watched him, realizing that the wheel was not just a machine — it carried his memory and the wisdom of the village. When the judges awarded us the "Best Heritage Display", Grandpa held the certificate with both hands, as if it were something precious. On the way home, he said softly, "Thank you for not letting it be forgotten." I knew then that some things must be kept turning, not by water, but by care.
解析:本题考查读后续写三步法:读(人物:"我"与爷爷;冲突:水车被弃置、主轴开裂;线索:海报"Traditional Technology Exhibition"、爷爷的失落)、思(结局:修复水车并参展成功,冲突化解,主题升华)、写(动作描写 knelt, sanded, fitted;心理描写 Pride rose in my chest)。易错点:①情节与前文脱节——若续写直接写"我们把水车搬进展览馆",则丢失"修理主轴"这一前文埋下的关键线索(the main shaft is cracked),情节链断裂;②描写平淡——只叙述"我们修好了水车"而无具体动作与情感变化,缺少感染力;③未呼应主题——结尾应点出传承意义,与前文"Nobody needs the wheel anymore"形成对照。两段开头语分别指向"修理"与"参展",写作时须按此顺序展开,不可遗漏。
