The first advantage of wind energy is that it truly is a renewable resource． No matter how much wind we use to produce electricity， we will never reduce the supply（供应） of wind． This is its greatest advantage compared with non-renewable resources like coal or oil． Second， wind energy is a clean source of energy， which means it produces environment-friendly electricity． What’s more， the large towers，which provide the base for the wind turbines（涡轮机）， don’t take up lots of space． They can share land with farms．

Energy is the ability to do work． Solar energy comes from the Sun． There is also energy that comes from wind and water．
But do you know that energy can come from people， too? When you pedal a bike， you produce energy． You use your legs to push the pedals． Your energy is transferred （转移） to the bike． That makes the bike move．
Now imagine riding your bike to create enough power to run a computer． Some students at one school did just that! They jumped on bikes connected to generators （发电机） and pedaled in place． Soon they were producing electricity． This energy is needed to run their computers．
Here is how bicycle-powered energy works． When a student pedals the bike， the back wheel spins． The wheel spins the generator． The generator produces electricity． As long as a student pedals the bicycle， electricity moves through the generator． The electricity can be used right away． This energy can also be stored and used later．
People use bicycle-powered energy to run small devices （设备） such as small televisions and fans． They often use less than 100 watts per hour． However， it would be a mistake to use pedal power to run a fridge． This large machine often uses more than 700 watts per hour． The electricity for these machines comes from power lines overhead or underground．
Pedal power can be seen in schools， gyms， and homes． What a fun way to provide electricity!

Plants are more than just pretty to look at． They give us fruits， vegetables and food we eat． Some plants even provide materials for medicine or building things． But do you know that plants can do something even more amazing? They can make our homes， schools and workplaces much healthier．
We spend a large part of our day indoors． Unluckily， the air inside buildings can often be full of chemicals（化学物质）from many things around us． This poor air quality（质量）can make us feel sick， causing sore eyes and throats， and even making it hard for us to breathe． When the air inside buildings gets really bad， people even call them “sick buildings”．
The good news is that plants are like nature’s little superheroes． They have a magic power fighting against bad air． Plants breathe in carbon dioxide （CO2） and breathe out oxygen （O2） which we humans need to live． They can also add moisture to the air if it’s too dry， making it more comfortable for us to breathe．
________ Scientists have discovered that plants have the ability to take in harmful chemicals， making the air around us safer to breathe． They set up a completely closed building called “bio-home” for experiments． Before they added plants， the air inside was full of chemicals and people found it hard to breathe． But after they added plants， the air got much cleaner and it became easier to breathe． To make the air inside even better， the scientists used different kinds of plants． After a while， the building wasn’t a “sick building” any more． People could go inside without feeling unwell．
So you see， plants are fantastic! They are not only beautiful to look at， but they also provide us with food， help create materials and play an important role in our health． They make our indoor environments cleaner and healthier， making us feel better． Next time you see a plant， remember all the amazing things it can do for us!

（2023·湖北·统考中考真题）Shen Yingbiao is a xiao player． Although he had strong interests in musical instruments from childhood， it is the xiao that has been the most important part of his life．
Not long after Shen was first attracted （吸引） to the instrument， he decided to learn it． In the 1990s， when Internet was not widespread in China， learning a less popular instrument was not an easy task because there were few teachers．
Besides teaching himself and listening to tapes to compare and improve， Shen stepped on trips to visit those who gave fascinating performances he heard on tapes， and received tutoring （指导） from masters in this area．
Since he had to study at school and then work to support himself， he could only undertake such trips in his spare time． “It was very tiring． Without high-speed trains， I had to take a train for more than 20 hours to Beijing， or other places， to visit people． But I was resolute to take this road． I wanted to improve my skills and learn more，” says Shen．
While learning the instrument， Shen was increasingly fascinated by the rich cultural meanings in the xiao． According to him， a scene from a TV series of a literate （有文化的） person piping （吹奏） the xiao in the moonlight， full of elegance （优雅）， poetry and romance， has been kept in his heart since childhood． And that reflects the close relationship between this instrument and the literate in times gone by．
In ancient China， bamboo symbolized honesty， modesty （谦虚） and a spirit of trying to make progress． As a result， many liked the plant and used it to refer to their pursuits （追求） in poems． Song Dynasty （960-1279） poet Su Shi once wrote， “Better to eat without meat than live without bamboo”， suggesting the importance of bamboo in their hearts．
Therefore， the xiao， made of bamboo， was much more than an instrument， but something they often held in hands or put on walls to remind themselves of their pursuits， and they sometimes used the xiao to refer to themselves in poems as well， according to Shen．
“Since the Tang Dynasty （618-907）， the xiao was often used in gatherings and meetings of the educated and literate， just like the guqin． It was so popular then that if one was not able to perform it， they were regarded as old-fashioned，” says Shen．
During his learning process， Shen summarized his experience， which paved （铺平） the way for his later teaching． In 2000， with the growth of his fame， he was invited to teach dongxiao， a kind of xiao popular in the Jiangnan area of China， at an art school in Hangzhou． A year later， he set up the Xixi Xiao Society with his students to better promote （推广） the instrument．
64．How did Shen improve his xiao skills?
① By teaching himself．        ② By going on trips．
③ By visiting the masters．    ④ By listening to tapes．
A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④
65．Why did the writer mention Su Shi and his poem in paragraph 6?
A．To state a fact． B．To give an example．
C．To express a feeling． D．To show an opinion．
66．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．A man who loves the xiao deeply． B．An instrument that is less popular．
C．The ways that people learn the xiao． D．A plant which carries the literate’s pursuits．
（2023·内蒙古包头·统考中考真题）An electronic book—known as an e-book—is the text and art of a book published in digital form． Some say the convenience of a digital book beats the benefits of reading a real book， that is， a book printed on paper． Is that true?
A famous writer once wrote， “You can find magic wherever you look． Sit back and relax． All you need is a book!” Back then， of course， he meant a book printed on paper， but today that’s not the only way to read one． People can choose to read a real book， or they can read an e-book on an e-reader device （设备） or a computer． Many people like reading e-books because they are convenient and easy to carry．
However， a real book can never be replaced． There is nothing better than the feel of a real book， from the weight of it in your hand to the satisfaction of turning each page． It’s part of the experience of reading—just like going to a library or bookstore and turning the pages of a book freely． Scrolling （滚屏） through a device isn’t the same． And not every kind of book translates well to digital． Plus， e-books can require expensive devices that need to be charged （充电）， as well as Internet access to download books． That’s not always possible or convenient． A printed book， however， doesn’t have to be connected to be enjoyed． What’s more， when reading a real book， you can feel a pleasure of the mind， which will help you get information and remember it more effectively． And it contributes towards developing the communication skills and unlock our imagination．
In 2022， sales of e-books in the US totaled about $ 1 billion， while real books sales hit $ 9．1 billion． In a survey， 30% of Americans who read books chose e-books， while most still prefer real books． Besides， research shows that understanding improves when people read books in print， rather than in digital form．
