（2024·安徽·中考真题）During their busy lives, people do not pay much attention to the
expiry dates (有效期) on the food in their fridges. As a result, a lot of food is forgotten about and
wasted. However, according to a recent research, being aware of (意识到) what you throw away
can help you waste less.
The researchers measured (计量) food waste from 154 families across the UK. Half of
these families in the research were asked to list the fruits and vegetables they had bought and their
expiry dates. The families stuck the list on the fridge door and received a text message every day
telling them to check it. The other half did not have to make a list and did not receive text
messages. Over a six-week period, all the families were asked to measure their food waste at the
end of each week.
The researchers were surprised to find that making lists and getting texts made little
difference to how much food was wasted. However, each family in the research wasted less food
—about 0.1 kilo a week.
The researchers carried on the research for six months, and found that all the families
continued to waste less food. This shows that just measuring food waste encourages people to pay
closer attention to it and throw less away.
1．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)?
A．The research. B．The list. C．The door. D．The message.
2．What is introduced in paragraph 3 about the six-week research?
A．Its purpose. B．Its method. C．Its steps. D．Its results.
3．Which of the following is the best title (标题) for the text?
A．Measure Food Waste to Stop It B．Pay Attention to What You Buy
C．Check the Food Before Storing It D．Give Thought to Your Busy Life

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

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.”

（2024·安徽·中考真题）If you get angry many times in a day, it is time for you to think
about how to deal with it. Here are some of my suggestions.
2关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
When you are angry, try to tell yourself through another voice that you are angry and that it
is not a bad thing. It just shows that you have different ideas. Accept that many things are not
100% right or wrong. In our communication with others, the final purpose is not to decide who is
right and who is wrong, but to look for something in common.
If you still feel strong anger, try taking a deep breath (呼吸) and let anger out of your body
along with the breath. Don’t say angry words when you are very angry, for you will regret saying
them when you cool down.
Discussing with a third party is helpful. It is hard for the two parties in anger to understand
each other, but the idea of an outsider can help both parties to get mutual (相互的) understanding.
Anger is just one of the many emotions (情绪) that make us human, and to well manage it
adds to our ability to truly understand the world.
8．What is the final purpose of communication with other people?
A．To show different ideas. B．To look for something in common.

A．Say angry words. B．Try taking a deep breath.

（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.

A．By presenting the results of a recent study.
B．By introducing different kinds of outdoor play.

（2024·江西·中考真题）In October 2018, someone in South Carolina won $1.5 billion.
The nearly impossible odds (概率) of winning were 1 in 302.5 million! Many people probably
wish they’d been the lucky ones happily accepting the prize.
It’s not hard to imagine the things one could do with this newfound wealth, but would this
money actually make someone happy? The experiences of several lottery (抽奖) winners show
that it probably wouldn’t. Suddenly coming into big money can change a person’s life in
unexpected and sometimes unpleasant ways. Take William Post, for example, who had only $2.46
in the bank when he won $16.2 million in a New York lottery in 1998. Within 3 months, he was
poor again because of careless spending. He wasn’t as happy as he felt before winning the prize.
Then there was Callie Rogers, a British teenager from a common family, won $3 million in
2003. She bought her family and friends lavish gifts and bought herself expensive clothes. After
6关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
six years, Callie lost all her money and realized that money didn’t make her happy. In fact, she
became worried that people were friendly with her only to get her money.
Lottery winners are not the only ones who can end up unhappy. People who get big money
for some other reasons, e.g. receiving money from others, are also at risk. They may not know
how to deal with money and do not ask experts for advice. They waste money on things they don’t
need and give away too much money to friends and relatives.
Researchers found that people are happy when they are able to pay for their basic needs,
such as food, clothes, a safe place to live, and health care. People are also happy when they give
reasonable (合理的) amounts of money to charities. Giving makes them feel as if they’re making
a difference. Lavish things, such as expensive clothes and cars, only make people happy for a
moment.
People can hope and wish to suddenly come into lots of money to improve their lives, but
perhaps there are better ways to find happiness.
19．How does the writer support his opinion in Paragraph 2?
A．By giving an example. B．By listing numbers.
C．By telling the differences. D．By asking a question.
20．What did William and Callie have in common according to the passage?
A．They came from the same country.
B．They won the lotteries in the same year.
C．They were poor before winning the lotteries.
D．They spent their money quickly and carelessly.
21．What does the underlined word “lavish” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Expensive. B．Funny. C．Surprising. D．Lucky.
22．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A．Big money brings lasting happiness.
B．People’s lives depend on lottery prizes.
C．Reasonable spending makes people happy.
D．The basic needs of people are easily satisfied.
23．What’s the writer’s purpose for writing the passage?
A．To encourage readers to make big money.
B．To advise people to stay away from lotteries.

（2024·山东滨州·中考真题）Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns.
Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back
to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern
technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural
heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out
into the world.
“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor
(传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.”
Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about
80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong
lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography
(全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements.
What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can
be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their
ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum
of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the
bottom of the local people’s heart.
The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at
the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong
lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city,
they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of
the world in the future.

A Healthy Mind
The brain is an amazing part of our body. Even with lots of research, no one can fully
understand it. Like our bodies, it needs simple care. Sleeping well, eating right, and taking deep
breaths help look after our bodies and brains.
Some think the brain slows with age, and memory weakens. ①However, we can ________.
I help my memory by picturing what to remember. ②If I need bread, milk, and a birthday card for
my brother, I imagine a piece of bread, a box of milk with a cow on the front, and a birthday card
with a football on it.
This method works for remembering important dates too. It’s easier to recall events with a
mental picture than just a date on a calendar.
③Exploring new places and having new experiences help the mind as well. Personally,
learning another language keeps my brain active. Any language communication is important.
Talking is better for your brain than watching TV or a screen.

Humans have long tried to predict (预测) the weather. From the hunters of ancient times to
today’s pilots, predicting rain or shine can shape people’s life and make a difference.
In 650 BC, the Babylonians tried to predict the weather based on the appearance of clouds.
Around 340 BC, Aristotle, a famous Greek thinker and scientist, wrote Meteorologica. It
introduced the types of weather, such as rain, cloud and lightning. Aristotle believed that there was
11关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
water, air and fire around the Earth. It was almost 2,000 years before his ideas were replaced by
new ones.
By 300 BC in China, a calendar divided the year into 24 festivals gradually, each festival
related to a type of weather, like the Rain Water (the start of the spring rains), the Waking of
Insects (the spring thunder awakens sleeping insects) and so on. That was useful for farmers to
plan when to plant and harvest (收获).
People used lots of ways to predict the weather over the centuries. You might have heard
the expressions like “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight”, which suggests a red sky in the evening is
followed by good weather. This has a basis in science, as does telling wind direction through
smoke from the fire. On the other hand, some thought that if sheep crowded together, it meant
rain. But there isn’t any science behind it.
The science of weather prediction really took off in the 1830s with the invention of the
telegraph. It sent messages over hundreds of thousands of miles, so weather maps were drawn up
and storm systems were studied. The next big step came in the 1920s with the invention of the
“radiosonde”, a balloon carrying weather instruments high above the ground to collect
information. Experts took the information and built a picture of the weather over the following
few days.
Today, supercomputers are used to take data (数据) from the world and process it very fast
to work out the weather. For example, they once helped predict where Hurricane Lee, which hit
the US and Canada, would land nine days in advance (提前).

Have you ever looked at a cat’s face and wondered what it is thinking? Well, according to a
new study, cats have many different facial expressions, which show how they are feeling.
The research was carried out by the scientists at the University of California, in the US.
They visited a local cat café over several months to record videos of 53 cats, collecting 194
14关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
minutes of videos. They found that the cats have 276 different expressions. “Each expression was
a mixture of lip different facial movements, which included licking (舔) their nose, opening their
mouth, or widening the pupils of their eyes,” said the scientists. They also found cats use 26 of
these facial movements in total, which can be mixed to express how they are feeling. Dogs use 27
facial movements and humans use a total of 44.
Out of the expressions they recorded, 45% were friendly and 37% were angry. “A friendly
cat moves its ears and whiskers forward and closes its eyes. However, an angry cat often flattens
its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips,” said the team.
Although the researchers aren’t sure what the cats were trying to communicate with each
other using their faces, they plan to study cats in other places to improve their understanding. They
also hope that the research could help animal shelters (收容所) improve the way they look after
the cats. Some pet owners even suggest the researchers develop an app for them to find out what
their cats’ facial expressions really mean.
48．Which of the following uses the most facial movements?
A．Humans. B．Dogs. C．Cats.
49．Which picture shows a cat’s angry expression?
A． B． C．
50．What might the scientists do next?
A．Use an app to study cats’ expressions.
B．Build an animal shelter to look after cats.
C．Keep on studying to know more about cats.
51．How does the writer develop the text?
A．By giving numbers and choices.
B．By showing examples and results.
C．By presenting opinions and facts.
52．What’s the writing purpose of the text?
A．To call on people to love cats more.

①More than 100,000 people cheered at the breathtaking moment when 3,000 drones flew
over Chaotianmen on the Chinese New Year Eve. The 15-minute drone show had 300 million
views online.
②In fact, drones are easy to operate. People send orders to the control system. Rotors push
against the air to make the drone rise or stay in the air. By changing the angle (角度) and the speed
of different rotors, the drone flies in all directions.
③Drones can complete difficult and special tasks in a timely and effective way.
④After an earthquake, drones can fly over blocked roads to find people or record any
possible danger. Reaching the mountain village by road may take several hours, but drones
provide information in just a few minutes.
⑤For weak wildlife populations, drones can show where poachers are hiding and if they
are carrying guns. At night, drones with infrared (红外线的) cameras can easily find them in the
dark.
⑥Drones also provide convenience for the public. For example, at a sports event, drones
are used to give a view from above or help coaches see how their players are doing.
⑦In a word, drones have been widely used in emergency (紧急情况), environmental
protection, farming, transportation and others, with more fields on the way.

Nowadays, many young people are busy with their work, and they don’t have time to shop
every day. They often buy enough food for at least a week. But eating food not kept correctly
could make you sick. The fridge may be a perfect choice for keeping food safe and fresh, but it’s
not a magic box to keep all kinds of food. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly
in your fridge.
The temperature in the fresh-keeping area can be different in different shelves. Generally
speaking, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So use these different

(乳制品) such as cheese, butter and yogurt. Bottom shelves are the coldest part of the fridge,
making them perfect for keeping raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻
室) for keeping these things, so of course make use of that if you have one.
Keeping food in the fridge does not kill bacteria (细菌) but it can stop the bacteria from
growing fast. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃ and 60℃. This is the
Temperature Danger Zone. If you want to get the most out of your food, the temperature in the
fresh-keeping area needs to be between 0℃ and 5℃. The freezer temperature should be
below-18℃.
Everyone should pay attention to food safety. Hope these tips can help you keep your food
fresh as long as possible.

Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste,
18关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
and the painting for us to admire.
Since the Warring States Period (战国时代), the ancient people loved sweets and developed
methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of
sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served to the emperors and princes, also
went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic (经济的) development of
Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming
Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting
appeared.
Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the
material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have
to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to
produce the work very quickly. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right.
Soon a sugar painting is done.
However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be
rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, few people
seem to be willing to pass on the art except those aging sugar painters.
For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar
painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual
support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible
cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed
and passed on.
62．What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Valuable and expensive. B．Useful and cheap.
C．Special but worthless. D．Simple but priceless.
63．When did sugar painting appear?
A．In the Warring States Period. B．In the Tang Dynasty.
C．In the Yuan Dynasty. D．In the Ming Dynasty.
64．Why should sugar painters make the work very quickly?
A．To show their excellent skills. B．To avoid syrup becoming hard.
C．To protect the spoon and the table. D．To reduce people’s waiting time.
65．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards today’s sugar painting according to Paragraph 4?
19关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Worried. D．Unclear.

（2024·四川遂宁·中考真题）①Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds
(种子), too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. New plants grow next to
the old plants. When plants grow this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water.
So some of them die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. These
seeds grow in new places. There are many ways of the seeds’ travel.
②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows,
the seeds fly away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry
up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll along
the ground, dropping off their seeds.
③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it.
They may travel many miles before they stop.
④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far.
How? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride.
Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too.

（2024·重庆·中考真题）① The world’s highest ski place, Chacaltaya, was closed after
the 18,000-year-old glacier melted (冰川融化) in 2009. Many scientists agree that the glaciers
around the world could disappear in this century, much faster than we thought.
②As we all know, the reason for this is global (全球的) warming. When certain gas such as
carbon dioxide (CO₂) is largely emitted (排放) into the atmosphere, it causes the greenhouse effect
(效应) which makes Earth warmer.
③As Earth becomes warmer, glaciers melt quickly, and dark rocks are uncovered. Then
these rocks take in more heat, causing the temperature to rise. As a result, the remaining snow on
glaciers melts faster.
④The effects of global warming will be far-reaching and often devastating (毁灭性的).
While the melting of glaciers may flood (淹没) some areas of Earth, in other places, it is making
water disappear. An increasing number of heat waves and droughts (干旱) worldwide will also
change the face of the world in the future.
⑤Global warming is a real problem, and one largely caused by human activity. Solving the
problem is not easy, and there is no single magic way. However, we can begin it by lowering the
amount of CO₂ in our daily lives.
⑥Peter Miller, along with his wife, took part in a scientific test to see how much CO₂ they
could cut down in a month. The average (平均) U.S. household produces about 80 kilos of CO₂,
which was more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average. Their
final goal was to make less CO₂ than most American families.
⑦First, they found out how much CO₂ they were producing. Then they asked an expert for
advice on how to reduce CO₂ emissions. According to the expert’s advice, they made some
changes to their house, replaced their lights, and changed some of their living habits. At the same
21关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
time, they either biked, walked, or used public transportation. A month later, they saved 70% on
electricity, 40% on gas, and drove half as much as others. Their daily CO₂ emissions were less
than the U.S. average, at 32 kilos.
⑧Protecting our planet starts small: change a light, open a window, walk or bike. With a
little effort, and not much money, most of us can make a difference.
72．Why was the ski place, Chacaltaya, closed in 2009?
A．Because the ski place was too old. B．Because few tourists came to this place.
C．Because the ski place was too high to reach. D．Because the 18,000-year-old glacier
melted.
73．How does the writer show that Peter succeeded in the scientific test?
A．By listing numbers. B．By asking questions.
C．By giving explanations. D．By giving suggestions.
74．Which of the following can match the information in the passage?
A． B．

today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New
22关注公众号：陆陆高分冲刺 ~领取：最新版“小中高考-总复习”、最新试卷下载
technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect.
Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in
our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads.
However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make
life-size models of car parts (部件), and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the
future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The
disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows
people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or
an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost.
It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or
lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a
world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the
most difficult problems we have today.
76．How does the writer start the passage?
A．By asking a question. B．By giving a report.
C．By giving advice. D．By telling a story.
77．Which one of the following is NOT true?
A．If too many flying cars are in the air, there will be problems with traffic control.
B．3D printing won’t change the way we make things.
C．A robot suit costs too much at the moment.
D．Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
78．What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident?
A．It might help people fly to the sky. B．It might help people make models.
C．It might help people walk again. D．It might help people save money.

（2024·江苏连云港·中考真题）
If you grew up in an unusual family and felt limited by heavy thoughts, how would you
change your life story? In the book Educated, the US writer Tara Westover shows us how she
deals with hard times.
The book talks about Westover’s life. Her father had a junkyard (废品场) in Idaho, US. It’s
a very small mountain village. Tara and her brothers and sisters worked every day. Before she
turned 17, she had never traveled outside. None of the kids in her family had ever been to a school
or a hospital. As she got older, she felt that she needed to get away from this uncomfortable
situation. Luckily, Westover’s older brother taught her to read. With hard work, Westover went to
college on a scholarship, and later got a PhD (博士学位) in History at Cambridge University.
Education changed her, her life, her way of thinking and even her luck. After reading the
book, I come to feel the deepest thanks for my own family, and the education I got. Education
allows girls like Westover to fly like birds toward their own goals. It allows us to get a different
view, find new experiences, better understand others and explore the wider world. I wish for all of
us to be like free and powerful birds, growing and changing through challenges and difficulties.

（2024·四川泸州·中考真题）What year were you born in? Are you a dragon? That is to
say, were you born in the Year of the Dragon?
As we know, the Year of the Dragon has arrived with us for a while, and everyone is excited
about talking about dragons. Many of them have noticed that more and more people are using the
word “loong” instead of “dragon” in their daily life. Actually, the loongs in Chinese culture,
believe it or not, are far different from the dragons in Western culture.
First, let’s talk about their origins (起源). Loongs are connected to stars and rain. They are
believed to have to do with the power of emperors in the past. Dragons, however, are related to
floods and dangerous waters underground.
Second, let’s dig into their stories. Loongs are like messengers between the sky and the
earth. They help out the rulers, who become kings because of them. Dragons, though, are
troublemakers. They fight with the rulers and can even beat them! But as time passes, dragons
lose their shine and heroes start killing them.
Third, let’s look at what they mean. Since loongs represent (代表) power, they are seen as a
symbol of the emperor and an important part of ceremonies and traditions. Dragons, though, are
bad news. They are a symbol of evil (恶), and beating the dragons is seen as a victory over evil.
Lastly, let’s check out how they look. Loongs are like a mix of animals, with heads like
camels and necks like snakes. They don’t need wings to fly because they are already skilled at it.

（2024·四川自贡·中考真题）April 24th is Space Day of China. Ever since Yang Liwei
made it to space in 2003, about 20 Chinese astronauts have been sent into space.
In space, astronauts face many problems. There is little gravity ( 重力) there, which
influences their bodies. Also, being away from family and friends and staying in a tiny spaceship
for a long time can make them feel sad or stressed out. What’s more, if something goes wrong
suddenly, they have to fix it under huge pressure. That’s why astronauts have to be smart, strong,
and ready for any challenge before they can go to space.
To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their tasks and return to Earth safely, 8
kinds, including over 200 subjects of training, are set. Besides physical training, basic science
knowledge and mock (模拟) tasks are included. Before astronauts can go to space, they train like
this for at least three and a half years.
In China’s manned space project, one of the most difficult parts of the training is the
underwater training. This helps astronauts get ready for the weightless environment in space. And
