6. 2024 湖北武汉 中考阅读理解 A篇（记叙文）
The silence of the pond (池塘) was broken by the first cry: "Found something!"
A swimmer ducked (扎入) into the water with a lifeline connected to a boat. Soon, she appeared, holding a bright blue glass bottle. It was passed to another, then into the boat.
On a fine Sunday morning in May, a team of 10 women over 65 years old, known as the Old Women Against Underwater Rubbish (OWAUR), looked for rubbish across Nova Pond in Scotia.
When the team returned, they joked about the trip. "We didn't even know what it was," one swimmer said with a laugh, showing an electronic lighter they had found. "We had to ask a young person."
Part protection organization, part social club, OWAUR only accepted old women as its members. To improve the conditions of the ponds, the group made it its mission to take rubbish away from them. The idea of this group was from a moment of Sandy, a retired (退休的) reporter. As a lifelong nature lover, she liked swimming in ponds. However, the world of the pond, which was a little polluted, made her anxious. Then she came up with a slogan (标语):
"OVER 65, IF YOU'RE HEALTHY ENOUGH, IS THE AGE OF ACTION."
Soon many people joined her. They found a sense of wonder at the pond cleanup moments. And their team could do a lot more than people might think.
When many people thanked OWAUR for what they had done, some questioned why they called themselves "old women". "You should call yourselves the Mermaids (美人鱼) Against Underwater Rubbish," someone said.
But the women disagreed. "We are old women, and we are proud of it," Sandy said. "We want to show that age is not a problem. You can still do great things when you are over 65."

David and his little sister Betty were playing on the beach. Betty was collecting seashells. She had a big basket full of beautiful shells. "Look, David!" she said. "I have more seashells than you!"
"But I want these seashells," Betty said unhappily. "Each one is a different shape and size. They are all special."
Suddenly, David saw the water rising along the beach. He shouted to Betty, "The waves (海浪) are about to take your toys!" As Betty ran to get her things, she called to David, "Please put my seashells into the car!"
David was putting one of the beach chairs into the car when his foot accidentally knocked over the basket. As David lifted a heavy box, he slipped (滑倒) and dropped the box right on top of the seashells, breaking most of them into pieces.
Betty came back with her toys. When she saw her seashells broken, she began to cry. David started to pick up the seashells and place them carefully back into the basket.
Dad tried to explain to Betty that it was an accident. But Betty was still upset. David also felt sad. He thought about what he could do to make it up to his sister.
When he got home, he had a perfect idea.
The next morning David waited for Betty with the basket of seashells and some strong glue. He also had a framed (装框的) photo of the two of them. Together they looked through the basket and found several seashells that were not broken and could still be used. Then they glued the seashells to the frame.
"I'm really sorry, Betty," David said. "Yesterday I was very careless with something special to you."

10. 2022 上海 中考阅读理解 A篇（说明文）
Jane, a reporter, is collecting information for the local newspaper. She is interested in the following things introduced in a magazine.
Smart Schoolbag
Forget to pack the books you need into your schoolbag in the morning rush?
A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag. It tells you which books to pack. A small computer and a scanner (扫描装置) are fixed in the bag. As each book is put into the bag, it is checked by the scanner. If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you.
Weather Sweets
Can you eat weather?
A university makes that happen. It uses a 3D printer to create sweets based on the weather information of a certain day.
The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed. The colors of the sweets are decided by temperature. The sweets act as a weather record of the day when they are made.
Sunrise Bed
It’s hard for you to get up in the morning, isn’t it?
To help you get up, a company has created a “tool” — a sunrise bed.
It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. The music will get louder and louder until you turn it off.
The company says the sunrise bed helps your body wake up naturally. It is much better than an alarm clock which makes a loud noise and wakes you up suddenly.
