Ⅰ.阅读理解
人与自我 身心健康 「2026江苏南通海安十三校月考改编」
①A lot of people play sports, but very few people become sports professionals(职业运动员). If sports are not going to be your future, then why should you play them? In fact, there are a lot of reasons to play sports.
②First of all, sports are a good way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and happy. When you exercise, your body makes endorphin(内啡肽). Endorphin gives you energy and makes you feel happy.
③Also, sports teach young people how to work as a team. They teach young people to respect(尊重) their coaches, teammates and players from other teams. And if a young person plays sports, he or she may not have many problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they may succeed(成功).
④Another good thing about sports is that they make people walk out of their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time on mobile phones and games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun.
⑤Maybe you're not going to become a sports professional, but it doesn't matter. Sports will help you become a better and happier person.

Ⅱ.短文填空
「2025 江苏连云港中考改编」
根据短文内容和首字母提示完成短文。
When people do not get enough food, they cannot grow strong or healthy. We should include plenty of 4.v and other plant-based foods in our diets. They give nutrients (营养) to our 5.h.
Scientists are working hard to make sure that people can have 6.e food to eat. They are thinking of all kinds of new ways to 7.g plants. For example, they create plants that can live in difficult conditions, and use technology to grow fresh food in 8.p like deserts(沙漠).
It’s quite challenging(有挑战性的) for plants to live in deserts because they are very hot, have very 9.l water, and have poor-quality soil. Sometimes there is even salt in the soil(土壤), which makes it 10.h for most plants to live.
However, over time, plants have worked out 11.c ways to deal with the challenges of living in the desert. Desert 12.p have small, narrow leaves or wax layers(蜡层) on their leaves to protect themselves(保护自己) from the sun. They also have deep roots(根) that go far into the ground for 13.w. Some plants can take in salt and store(储存) it in their cells.

4.vegetables 根据“and”和“other planted-based foods”可知,此处表示大量的蔬菜。vegetable 意为“蔬菜”,plenty of 后跟可数名词的复数形式。故填 vegetables。
5.health 根据语境及首字母提示可知,它们给我们的健康提供营养,health 意为“健康”,为不可数名词。故填 health。
6.enough 根据语境及首字母提示可知,科学家们努力工作,确保人们有足够的食物吃。enough 意为“足够的”,符合语境。
7.grow 根据“they create plants that can live in difficult conditions”及首字母提示可知,此处是说科学家们正在想各种新办法来种植植物,grow 意为“种植”,动词不定式符号 to 后加动词原形。故填 grow。
8.places 根据“like deserts”及首字母提示可知,此处表示在像沙漠这样的地方,place 意为“地方”,是可数名词,设空处前无限定词,此处应用 place 的复数形式。故填 places。
9.little 根据语境及首字母提示可知,这里是说沙漠里几乎没有水,little 表示“几乎没有”,修饰不可数名词,符合语境。
10.hard 根据“Sometimes there is even salt in the soil”可知,有时土壤里有盐,大多数植物在这样的土壤中很难生存,hard 意为“难的”,符合语境。
11.clever 根据语境及首字母提示可知,这里是说植物已经想出聪明的方法来应对在沙漠中生存的挑战。clever 意为“聪明的”,符合语境。
12.plants 根据语境及首字母提示可知,此处指的是“沙漠植物”。plant 意为“植物”,为可数名词,再根据后面的 have 可知,此处用复数名词 plants 作主语。
易错警示 该题易错填 plant。根据上下文确定了名词 plant 后,还得考虑其是否需要变形,此处的时态为一般现在时,谓语动词为 have,主语应为复数,故应填 plants。
13.water 根据语境及首字母提示可知,植物还有深入地下寻找水的深根。故填 water。

【分析】
本题是首字母提示的短文填空题，解题思路为：先通读全文把握主旨大意，再结合每个空格的前后语境、首字母提示，同时考虑语法规则（如名词单复数、动词形式、形容词用法等）确定正确词汇，最后验证答案是否符合上下文逻辑。
