In March, the small city received about 4.8 million tourists. It is certainly not the only city that offers barbecue, or even the most famous one, but its seemingly sudden fame was steps in the making.Zhou Maosong, president of the Zibo Tourism Promotion Association said the popularity started from the crowd-gathering effect of cultural and tourism activities including a music festival. Then famous people tasted the barbecue and put their experiences online attracting young people, which led to a wave of students from neighbouring cities visiting Zibo. What better way to lure adventurous and hungry college students other than “tasty barbecue that makes you full within only 50 yuan!” However, Zibo did not fall into the trap (陷阱) of easy fame that dies fast where sellers cheat buyers on price and quality for the most profit (盈利) in the shortest time. A blogger on Douyin took an electronic scale (电子秤) to ten barbecue stands in Ziboto test if he would be offered less food. It turned out that not a single one was caught short of weight and some owners even offered him local snacks for free. Local people’s honest and friendly behaviour touched even more people online and again lifted the city’s popularity.Zibo’s successful story has inspired governments in other parts of the country to find their ways of supporting local businesses.19．What does the underlined word “lure” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Attract.B．Challenge.C．Follow.D．Organize.20．What are the other reasons for Zibo’s popularity besides the crowd-gathering effect?①Famous people’s recommendation.②Barbecue at low prices.③Support from neighbouring cities.④Local people’s kindness.A．①②③B．②③④C．①②④D．①③④21．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science fiction.B．A travel guide.C．A food advertisement.D．A news report.06（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）The common problem of myopia (近视) among students has been a big challenge for China to deal with for many years. According to reports, about 35.6 percent of primary school students and nearly 81 percent of senior high school students are nearsighted (近视的) in China.Considering this background, Wantang Primary School in Yunnan province really stands out. This is because none of the students at this school suffer from myopia. Parents, teachers and eye experts began discussing whether the school’s experience can be used to tackle the rising level of myopia across China.Yang Chenhao is a doctor at the Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. He said that while the school is a special case, some of its methods are highly worth learning, such as keeping children away from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.Yang Qingyi is a teacher at the school, which has 536 students. He said that all children are required to go outside during class breaks. “Even for quiet kids, we encourage them to take a walk outside,” he said. When the three sports teachers there are busy, teachers of other subjects will work as trainers to teach basketball and table tennis.“If there is one piece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say large amounts of outdoor activities,” said Sun Fubiao, the primary school’s headmaster. Sun said that a number of his students’ parents are working in other areas, so the school has fixed six public phones while not allowing use of personal mobile phones.“In teacher-parent WeChat groups, we often remind parents to pay attention to kids’ eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations,” he added.22．How is the first paragraph organized?A．By listing numbers.B．By telling stories.C．By giving examples.D．By comparing facts.23．What does the underlined word “tackle” probably mean in Chinese?A．解释B．应对C．提升D．保持24．What can we know from Yang Chenhao’s words?A．Doctors should work with primary schools.B．Wantang Primary School is worth learning in some ways.C．Children should not use a mobile phone.D．Parents should pay more attention to their kids.25．What is the most important way to achieve zero myopia according to Sun Fubiao?A．Less time of learning at school.B．Fixing enough public phones.C．Much time of outside activities.D．Working with kids’ parents.参考答案：1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B【导语】本文主要介绍了美团推出的无人机送餐服务，包括其操作流程、研发过程及发展前景。
英语时文阅读七年级第11辑
英语时文阅读七年级第11辑English is a global language that has become increasingly important in today's interconnected world. As students progress through their academic careers, developing strong reading comprehension skills in English is crucial for success. This essay aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the key components and strategies for effective English reading comprehension, specifically tailored for 7th-grade students.One of the fundamental aspects of reading comprehension is vocabulary development. Students at this age should focus on expanding their knowledge of academic and subject-specific vocabulary. This can be achieved through systematic vocabulary instruction, exposure to diverse reading materials, and consistent practice in context. Mastering word roots, prefixes, and suffixes can also aid in deciphering the meaning of unfamiliar terms.In addition to vocabulary, 7th-grade students should hone their understanding of grammar and sentence structure. Recognizing parts of speech, identifying sentence elements, and analyzing therelationships between clauses can greatly enhance a student's ability to comprehend complex texts. Exercises that involve sentence manipulation, such as transforming active voice to passive voice or rearranging sentence components, can be particularly beneficial.Another crucial aspect of reading comprehension is the ability to identify and analyze the main ideas and supporting details within a text. This skill involves distinguishing between essential and non-essential information, recognizing the author's purpose, and understanding the overall organization and structure of the passage. Strategies such as close reading, annotation, and the use of graphic organizers can help students effectively navigate and comprehend the central themes and key points of a text.Inference-making is another essential component of reading comprehension. 7th-grade students should be able to read between the lines, draw logical conclusions, and make inferences based on the information provided in the text. This skill requires the integration of prior knowledge, contextual clues, and textual evidence to construct meaning beyond the literal level.Furthermore, the ability to critically evaluate and analyze the content and style of a text is a valuable skill for 7th-grade students. This involves assessing the author's perspective, recognizing rhetorical devices, and evaluating the validity and reliability of the informationpresented. Engaging in discussions, writing analytical responses, and comparing and contrasting multiple texts can help students develop these critical thinking skills.Lastly, effective reading comprehension requires the application of flexible reading strategies. Students should be able to adapt their approach based on the genre, purpose, and complexity of the text. This may include skimming for main ideas, scanning for specific information, close reading for detailed understanding, and rereading to clarify or deepen comprehension.In conclusion, developing strong English reading comprehension skills is a crucial aspect of a 7th-grade student's academic journey. By focusing on vocabulary development, grammar and sentence structure, identifying main ideas and supporting details, making inferences, critically analyzing texts, and employing flexible reading strategies, students can enhance their ability to understand and engage with a wide range of English-language materials. Consistent practice, targeted instruction, and a commitment to continuous improvement will enable 7th-grade students to become proficient and confident readers in the English language.。

奇速英语高考英语阅读：失踪23年克里姆特名画重见天日,原来竟是藏在意大利画廊墙壁内!(1)
2020-1-20时文阅读 适合高一年级撰稿：江苏后国宏https:///science/klimt-painting-discovered-walls-itali an-museumKlimt painting found in wall of Italian museum was stolen from same gallery in 1997, authenticators say世界名画失踪多年重见天日 原来竟被藏在意大利画廊墙壁内！A painting was found hidden in a wall of an Italian museum. It was authenticated as a Gustav Klimt work that was stolen from the same gallery in 1997. It was reported that Klimt’s Portrait of a Lady was owned by the Ricci Oddi Gallery of Modern Art in 1925, with only the painting’s frame found on the roof of the museum.Investigations into the 1917 work, which is worth at about $66 million today, stopped over the next few decades. The break came by chance last month, when a museum gardener clearing ivy from a wall opened a metal access panel and discovered the painting inside. It was put in a plastic bag. Experts finally confirmed that the painting was not fake, and officials in Piacenza where the Ricci Oddi is located announced the news."It's with no small emotion that I can tell you the work is authentic," Piacenza Prosecutor Ornella Chicca said. An authenticator in Bologna said the painting is still in very good condition, having only suffered a scratch on an edge, possibly from a silly effort to remove the portrait from its frame. officials said X-rays aided in the authentication process, showing that Portrait of a Lady had been painted on the top of another portrait.As for why the painting had been stored within a wall, Anne Marie O'Connor, a journalist who had written about another of Klimt’s paintings, said that the thief knew it would be too difficult to sell the painting during the investigation at that time and perhaps planned to return one day and retrieve it. The portrait has been held in Italy’s central bank during the investigation .题材体裁 难度 词汇 建议用时 实际用时 正确率 艺术 记叙文 ★★★ 285 7分钟 高二【语篇导读】意大利警方近日宣布，一幅1997年离奇失踪的名家画作重见天日。

初三英语时文阅读（三）各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢喜欢听什么音乐可不仅关乎品味，还关乎智商！Music vs. IQIs music enjoyed simply for being a nice little tune? No, there are things far more important than whether you actually like the song.For one thing, you must consider whether the band or artist you are listening to is currently fashionable. After all, you wouldn’t want to look out of touch. What’s more, you need to make sure your favourite music doesn’t mark you out as “dumb.” A recent survey shows some interesting relationships between music and IQ. Want to know what your music says about your intelligence? Here’s a list.Super intelligentBeethoven - The German composer comes top of the list. Classical music is often associated with intelligence.Quite intelligentU2 - The Irish rock band is the choice for people of moderate intelligence, who enjoy politically charged songs like Sunday Bloody Sunday.AverageColdplay - The indie band is for those not looking for anything out of the ordinary.A little dumbKayne West - Never top of the class at school? This Chicago rapper should be right up your street.Very dumbLil Wayne - The US rapper comes bottom of the survey for intelligence, but still sells millions of records around the world. How come?This is the website for more details: http://musicthatmakesyou /. The results have already stirred much debate. Of course, to describe someone’s music taste as dumb is to insult them. Anyway, don’t take this survey too seriously. Enjoy any music you like!请下载附件：《初三英语时文阅读》各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢。
2024中考英语必读时事热点_科学技术【必考知识点专项训练】
2024年中考英语新热点时文阅读-科学技术10-303“Morning Star 50”ChatGPT01Science and technology will continue to develop fast in 2023. Nature and Forbes have made their predictions (). Let’s have a look.Human-like friendsRobots will be more like humans both in their looks and abilities in2023. These Robots will serve as greeters, waiters and companions () of the elderly. Elon Musk’s company is working hard on makinghuman-like robots that will work in our home. More AI systems willplay roles in areas like health care and scientific research.）. In 2023, we can expect morehydrogen, a new cleangreenhouse gas emissions. Scientists will also have a safer way to dealwith nuclear waste. The used nuclear fuel（））amazed the world. And the Euclid Space Telescope will be launched in2023. It will take photos to create a 3D map of the universe. China willcontinue to build the Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope. It will be able tocan now bedirectly connected to mobile phones. We can find where the phones are. A US company is also workingon a direct connection between phones and satellites. The impact of 5 Gwill continue to grow. The areas 5 G will benefit most in 2023 includeeducation through online learning, remote surgery and livestreaming.1. Human-like robots will do many things for people EXCEPT _____.A. serving as greeters, waiter and companionsB. playing roles in health care and scientific researchC. learning to use some space telescopes2. Which is NOT mentioned to protect the earth?A. By making progress in a new clean energy.B. By using more human-like robots.C. By dealing with nuclear waste in a safer way.3. Which space telescope can be used to create a 3D map of universe?A. The James Webb Space Telescope.B. The Euclid Space Telescope.C. The Xinjiang Qitai Radio Telescope.4. Which of the following is TRUE?A. It’s difficult for Chinese people to find where their phones are.B. China is working on a direct connection between phones and satellites.C. 5 G will continue to influence people’s lives in some areas.5. Where can you read this passage?A. In a magazine.B. In a novel.C. In a guidebook.02What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC.Digital moneyWe need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic eyeIt’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution image could be just a few years away.Self-driving carsUnlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window. Sensors and cameras on the car would allow it to stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future, driverless cars would be widely accepted.6. What does the writer mainly tell us about digital money?A. We use digital money to shop online without paying money.B. Digital money is most likely to be used instead of cash.C. Using cash is easier and safer than a credit card.D. ATM cards are always popular.7. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Bionic eyes only appear in the science fiction film.B. Human drivers won’t get distracted by something outside.C. The blind wearing bionic eyes may see clearly in the future.D. There will be no road accident at all if self-driving cars are used.8. From the report, we can learn some information about _____.A. culture and artB. industry and farmingC. science and technologyD. traffic and shopping9. Which of the following can be predicted () from the passage?A. There would be a number of self-driving cars on the road.B. The blind could use cameras to see things around.C. We would live a hard life with digital money.D. Robots would control the world.03China has completed its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (), or BDS. It becomes a new system in the world with a global navigation network (). The other three systems are GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. As we know, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy () in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.BDS has another advantage-the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (), users can send short messages. Even in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, BDS can also make the short message service available. With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team () their location and condition.As the most populous country, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development. In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.10. Which one is the global navigation satellite system of China?A. BDS.B. GPS of the US.C. GLONASS of Russia.11. How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?A. 6.B. 24.C. 30.12. What does the underlined word “uninhabited” mean in Paragraph 4?A. B. C.13. What are true about China’s BDS according to Paragraph 5?a. It has met the needs of China’s development.b. It is regarded as good business.c. It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.A. a, cB. a, bC. b, c14. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A. Technology.B. Culture.C. History.04The local government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu had an agreement in January, 2018. They wanted to develop the “smart city” together. Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares () near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year. It took the workers 10 months to change Haidian Park into an artificial intelligence AI () theme park. It was opened to the public in early November.Now the park has driverless buses, smart lamp posts () and smart speakers. The buses themselves can run according to the directions from a computer. The smart lamp posts can record a lot of data quickly and well. The smart speakers can understand human instructions correctly. The park gives people a totally new look. People can experience different artificial intelligence here.Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program.In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry. The central government also said in October that it would help the development of the country's new generation of artificial intelligence.15. Haidian Park was chosen to become the “smart city” because _____.A. it is the biggest park in BeijingB. it is next to the 4th Ring RoadC. it has large size and is popular16. The underlined word “driverless” in Paragraph 2 means “_____” in Chinese.A. B. C.17.

The best title of the text is “_____”.A. Haidian Artificial Intelligence Theme ParkB. Chinese High-tech CompaniesC. Building A “Smart City”05China’s biggest solar-powered drone (), Qimingxing-50 or Morning Star 50, finished its first test flight in September, 2022. The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (A VIC, )Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited () power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.In 2018, China tested the first version () of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pounds. Compared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan () of 164 feet.On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systems worked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.19. Which one is an advantage of solar-powered drones researchers want?A. They’re cheaper than others.B. They can fly in bad weather.C. They fly at a higher speed.D. They can stay in the air for longer.20. What made the first version of Morning Star light?A. Its look.B.

It had been tested for many years.22. What’s the main purpose of the text?A. To compare different drones.B. To report a drone’s test flight.C. To discuss drones’ future.D. To tell the importance of drones.06Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars.Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the internet by storm, winning 100 million users since it came out in November 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and emails, createrecipes (), translate languages, and answer all kinds of questions. In its own words, it is “a language model trained in internet text to help users get human-like text.”Compared with Siri or other chatbots (), ChatGPT uses a much bigger database () for training. It also uses stronger software and hardware to learn things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make corrections . “It’s a totally different product,” computer scientist Liu Xiaoguang from Nankai University told Tianjin Daily. “The knowledge level ChatGPT shows is equal to an undergraduate () student. That’s why it shocked the world.”But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives fake () information. When Rezza, a 28-year-old from Indonesia, used the robot to write an essay, it “gave out nonexistent academic citations ()”, he told The Guardian. Since the robot is trained using words from the internet, it can also pick up on the internet’s biases () about certain groups. These are all things that need to be dealt with.23. The cat story was written to _____.A. show what creative work ChatGPT can doB. introduce a cat that wants to go to spaceC. introduce a series of bedtime booksD. show how robots create stories24. According to the passage, which of the following can ChatGPT do?A. Make dishes.B. Sing songs.C. Translate texts.D. Create new languages.25. What makes ChatGPT an excellent chatbot?a.

The sun was shining brightly in the clear blue sky, and the birds were chirping happily in the trees. Jack and his friends were playing in the park, enjoying the pleasant weather.Suddenly, they heard a loud noise coming from the other side of the park.
