专题02 阅读理解之说明文

（2025·浙江·中考真题）Plains wanderers are small, rare birds that live in grasslands． Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males． Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm． These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape． Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities．

To save them, scientists are using AI． The key is the birds’ calls． Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger． These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly． Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night． Then they put these recordings into a computer program． The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping． This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have．

“AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr． Lee, who leads the project． “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places．” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds． Without AI, they might not have found it． Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife．

1．What do we know about plains wanderers?

A．Males are larger than females．             B．They are easy to find in grasslands．

（2025·浙江·中考真题）Sun protection is more than just avoiding sunburn—it’s about keeping your skin healthy and feeling good all summer long． Here are some ways to protect yourself．

1． Use sunscreen (防晒霜) properly

Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher 20-30 minutes before going outside． Don’t forget to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating． Studies show that most people apply too little sunscreen, so using enough (about 1 teaspoon for the face) is key．

2． Wear the right clothes

Wear long sleeves, hats, and UV-protective sunglasses． Dark-colored clothes with tight weaves block more UV rays than light ones． A good pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes but also prevents fine lines around the eyes caused by squinting (眯眼)．

3． Seek shade during peak hours

The sun is strongest from 10 a．m． to 4 p．m． Use natural shade from trees or create your own shade with umbrellas or tents．

4． Drink enough water

Drinking plenty of water is important for skin health and overall comfort． When you sweat, your body loses water and salt, so drink lots of water even if you’re not thirsty． You can also enjoy drinks like tea or fruit juice．

By following these steps, you’ll reduce the risk of skin damage． Then you can enjoy being outside without worry． Remember: healthy skin means feeling good!

（2024·浙江·中考真题）Every year, lots of animals around the world go on migrating (迁徙 ) journeys． Some need to find food, others are looking for somewhere to produce and raise their young． Migrations can be long and difficult for animals, but new research on birds has found that farmland along the way can help their progress．

In spring, hundreds of thousands of birds living near Lake Poyang, in China, fly north to Siberia, Russia． On the way, they find places to stop and eat to keep their energy levels up for the long journey． Some birds, such as geese, eat young grass that starts to grow at the beginning of the season． This food can last for only a few weeks． And rising temperatures caused by climate change can sometimes make the grass grow earlier than usual． This means that some birds are arriving too late to eat the grass． As more land is used for farming, the natural wetlands where birds like to search for food are disappearing, too．

A team of researchers have recently chosen to follow 246 birds, including geese and tundra swans, that are flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia． They find that the birds have changed their diets to adapt (适应) to the environments they pass through． As well as eating grass from the wetlands along the way, the birds are also eating seeds (种子) dropped by farmers．

The researchers believe that seeds will become a more important part of migrating birds’ diets as more natural wetlands disappear． They suggest that if farmers use different ways of harvesting, such as using machines that leave behind more seeds in fields, it could help to feed migrating birds． However, they also say wetlands must be protected, so the birds can enjoy different foods during their long journeys．

1．Which can be a reason for animal migration according to Paragraph 1?

A．Raising their babies．                           B．Enjoying the journey．

C．Sending food to others．                       D．Taking care of the old．

2．What problem might the birds meet when flying from Lake Poyang to Siberia?

A．There is no grass growing along the way．

B．There is a sudden drop in temperature on the way．

C．Fewer natural wetlands are left for them to find food．

D．Some of the birds set out early and eat too much grass．

3．How do the birds adapt to the environments they pass through?

A．By changing their diets．

B．By changing the way they fly．

C．By making their homes in wetlands．

D．By making fiends with farmers．

4．What can be the best title of the text?

A．Stop killing, stop polluting                   B．Save water, save life

C．Bids help harvesting work                    D．Farms help migrating birds

（2023·浙江湖州·中考真题）Scientists believe the Earth is 4．6 billion years old． However, the mountains, valleys (山谷), hills, rivers, deserts and forests we see today are much younger than that． For example, Mount Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon rainforest is only 10 million years old． The youngest sea in the world is the Baltic Sea, at about 15000 years old．

The Earth is always changing because of volcanoes (火山), earthquakes and of course, wind and rain． Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick． Water and ice can make very great changes to the planet． For example, glaciers rivers of ice can cut through mountains and make lakes and deep valleys． Many volcanoes are under the oceans and sometimes they become new islands． This is happening in the South Pacific, near Tonga．

It’s normal for our planet to change, but at the moment, scientists think it’s changing faster than usual． Some deserts are growing and many forests are getting smaller． The weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms． According to the research, the sea level will continue to rise in the next hundred years． As a result, many cities will possibly be covered by water and much of the most productive farming areas will be lost． Some island countries are likely to disappear on the map of the world．

These changes will bring great harm to the planet． However, they can be beneficial to some people． For example, as the Arctic is getting warmer, some people in Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables they grow on their land． That wasn’t possible in the far north 50 years ago． Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue．

1．How does the writer describe the changes of the Earth in Paragraph 2?

A．By using sayings．                              B．By giving examples．

C．By telling stories．                              D．By listing numbers．

2．From Paragraph 3, we can mainly learn about ________．

A．the age of the Earth                             B．problems for the planet

C．the life of the farmers                          D．influences on the mountains

3．The underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to “________”．

A．harmful           B．normal                   C．helpful                   D．uncomfortable

（2023·浙江衢州·中考真题）① One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum． I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly． I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by． Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had． For the first time, I realised that although I didn’t make the pie successfully, I really enjoyed the process (过程)．

② The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself． That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others． If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up． As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success．

③ But in this busy world, we see a lot of successful people are in competition． How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself．

④ Don’t always compare yourself with others． First of all, we are all different． And success means different things to us． For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power． Ride your own ride．

⑤ Slow down． You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient． Impatience leads to unhappiness． Do it slowly, but never stop．

⑥ Reward (奖励) yourself． Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them． Rewarding yourself for small wins can go a long way． For example, if you are in the process of losing weight, enjoy your favourite cake once in a while．

1．How does the writer start the article?

A．By giving an example                          B．By comparing facts．

C．By using old sayings．                         D．By listing numbers．
