Skipping to victory
Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou. Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness(吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.
Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said.
However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competítion. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid(无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized(认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first. But he won’t stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.

考点二 整合转换题
此考点是典型的二次加工题型,需要考生有基本的构词法知识,对句子成分和词性的对应关系要明确。做题时,不但要找到与试题相关的句子信息,还要根据词法和句法知识以及上下文的逻辑关系进行加工,从而提炼出新词。可细分为如下两种情况:
(1)词形整合转换。被考查单词在原文和试题中充当的句子成分不同,因而需在名词、动词、形容词、副词等之间进行转换。
(2)句型整合转换。试题中的被考查单词在原文中找不到同根词,无法获取单词进行转换,需根据原文中相应句子的意义和上下文逻辑联系进行句型转换。
①表格内词性、大小写和语法运用上要保持一致。同一单元格要注意在用词方面保持一致的格式。
②善用同义词和反义词进行转换。
③正确使用构词法。
④熟练运用句型转换。
词性与句子成分的一致性关系:
英语中的十大词类均在句子中充当成分,记住词性与成分关系:
(1)谓语:动词(具备人称、数、时态、语态、语气、情态的变化特
点)。
【温馨提示】英语中任何完整的句子都离不开谓语动词,没谓语动词的句子通常是错误的。
(2)主语和宾语:名词、代词、数词、动名词、不定式和从句。
(3)表格和补语:名词、代词、数词、形容词、介词短语、非修饰性副词、非谓语形式和从句。
(4)定语:名词及其所有格、代词、数词、形容词、副词、非谓语形式和从句。
(5)状语:副词、形容词、不定式、分词和从句。 (6)同位语:名词、代词、动名词、不定式和从句。
【拓展延伸】
(1)“the+形容词”可转化为名词表示一类人/物。
(2)形容词充当状语只表示主语特征和状态,不修饰谓语动词;修饰谓语动词用副词。 He got home at last, tired and hungry. He was lying on the grass, relaxed. He sings happily.
(3)能接宾语的只有及物动词和介词,构成动宾和介宾结构。
(4)主、谓、宾、表、补语是句子的基本成分,不可或缺;定、状、同位语是修饰成分,缺少时基本句型依然成立。
语法匹配 (to, -ing, -ed, 主被动语态的转换)、连词、介词的运用、固定句型、同义句等都属于句子结构转换的内容。
1. It’s + adj. of sb. to do …= 主语+ be + too + adj + to do sth =so … that …/…adj. enough to do …
2. It’s + adj. 比较级than …= it’s adj. 最高级 of /in …
3. 主动语态与被动语态相互转换
4. It takes sb. + 时间+to do = sb spend + 时间+on/ doing sth = sb devote + 时间+to doing sth
5. If…not与unless 句型转换
6. because与so, although 与 but 相互转换的句型
7. provide sb.with sth, provide sth for sb, offer sb sth, offer sth to sb , give sb sth , give sth to sb.
8. 主语+ be + 形容词 (important/valuable/helpful)= 主语+ be + of + 名词(imprtance/value/help)
9. would rather do sth than do sth = prefer doing sth to doing sth 宁愿做……
10. prepare to do sth = get ready to do sth 准备好做……
11. give up doing sth = stop doing sth 停止做……
12. can do sth = be able to do sth 能做……

Passage 3
(2024·江苏扬州·中考真题)A total of 23 spotted seals(斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.
3. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)?
4. As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife?
【答案】
3. The Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands.
4. We can join the local activities and raise money for groups to protect wildlife.
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国为保护濒危野生动物而做出的努力。
3. 根据“the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance”可知其生态环境,辽宁大连斑海豹湿地于1992年建立,2002年1月,它们被列入《国际重要湿地名录》,故此处they指代“辽宁大连斑海豹湿地”。故填The Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands.
4. 开放性试题,言之有理即可。参考答案为We can join the local activities and raise money for groups to protect wildlife.
Passage 1
(2025·江苏无锡·一模)Wang Wei (701-761), often called the “Poet Buddha”, was a famous Chinese poet, painter, and government official during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Born into a high family, he passed a difficult government exam at age 20 and worked for the emperor for many years.
Wang Wei is best known for his simple, peaceful poems about nature. His works often describe quiet scenes of mountains, rivers, and mist with few people. Experts(专家) say his poems show the beauty of the world while making readers think about what’s truly real.
But he wasn’t just an amazing poet; he was also a talented painter. He used ink and water in soft colours to create gentle, poetic pictures of nature. It was a new style of painting Chinese landscapes. Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) once said that Wang Wei “had painting in his poetry” and “poetry in his painting”.
His most famous work, Wang River Collection, contains poems about traveling with his friend Pei Di. These poems have influenced writers for centuries, including modern writers who created new works based on his ideas. One poem called Weicheng Qu became a famous song called Three Repetitions on the Yangguan Tune, usually played on the guqin, an instrument Wang Wei probably played.
Scholars (学者) still study his poems today.

Passage 2
(2025·江苏徐州·二模)The Horsetail Fall is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing scenery. Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle to light the upper reaches of the fall. When conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava pouring down from the top of the El Capitan, so it got the name “firefall”.
The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall. There should also be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water in warm afternoon.
The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. The best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents.
Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. The spectacle may appear just minutes before sunset, so people have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite firefall is something you don't want to miss during the winter,” said Kate Moore, a traveller and lead content creator for a travel website.
注:每题答案不超过5个词。

On weekends, I like to go to yard sales with forty dollars. I always expect to find something I can sell on eBay, an online marketplace where people buy and sell things, and make a good profit(利润).
One day, at a yard sale, I saw a violin for just twenty dollars. I bought it right away without knowing its real value. I called my husband Rick to do a quick search on eBay to find out how much such an instrument would cost.
However, Rick said there weren’t any violins like that listed. It was strange because I thought selling violins online was quite common. After I hung up, I began to worry: Maybe no one would buy the violin at all.
On my way home, an elderly man asked if I could sell him the violin for fifty dollars. I agreed and handed him the violin. I returned home happily. Then I sat at the computer, went to the eBay home page, and typed in the kind of second-hand violin I had just sold. To my surprise, I found three violins just like mine selling for over 500 dollars each! I realized Rick hadn’t checked the eBay home page.
I sold the violin at such a low price! I felt awful and decided to buy it back, but Rick said the weather would soon get bad. Turning a deaf ear, I rushed out of our house. However, it suddenly began to rain heavily. I had to go home. I was sad, feeling I lost a great deal of money.
As time went on, I almost forgot it. One day, when I was walking on the street, an old man greeted me, “Good morning! Because of your generosity, my love of music has grown stronger. Now, I volunteer to teach kids to play the violin...” Then I realized he was my violin buyer. Hearing his words, I was proud of my decision that day. Sometimes, the real value is in helping others.
11. What did the writer ask her husband Rick to do after buying the violin at the yard sale?
12. How much profit did the writer make from selling the violin to the old man?
13. Why did the writer feel awful after checking the eBay home page?
14. Did the writer make a right decision by selling the violin to the elderly man? Why or why not?
【答案】11. Check the violin’s value on eBay. 12. Thirty dollars. 13. She sold it far below its real value. 14. Yes. Because it helped the old man pursue his passion for music and benefit others.
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在庭院拍卖会上低价购买小提琴后转卖,发现其真实价值后懊悔,但最终因得知买家用它教授孩子音乐而感到欣慰的故事。

13. 根据“I sold the violin at such a low price! I felt awful”可推知,作者因远低于实际价格出售小提琴而懊悔。故填She sold it far below its real value.
14. 根据“Good morning! Because of your generosity, my love of music has grown stronger. Now, I volunteer to teach kids to play the violin...”以及“Hearing his words, I was proud of my decision that day.

There once were two young brothers, Simon and Pedro, who dreamed of going to university to become engineers. There was just one problem. They came from a poor family in a small town that was far from any university. The only way they could make their dream come true was that one of them worked in the local mine (矿井) to pay for the other to go to school. And when the first one became an engineer, he would pay for the other to go to school.
They flipped(轻掷) a coin. Simon won. But he said, “I can’t go. You are much smarter than me.” Pedro convinced him to go. Simon headed off to school and Pedro worked hard to make money to pay for his schooling. Simon was the hardest-working student there. He soon became known as the best student. But he always told people that his brother was the really smart one. He would proudly show everyone Pedro’s designs of machines.
Then, near the end of the first year of school, there was an accident in the mine. Pedro was hurt quite badly and would never be able to work in the mine again. Without money, Simon had to quit school. He took care of his brother, and they were both terribly sad.
One day, a car pulled up to their little house and out came Simon’s teacher. “Simon, we want you to come back,” said his teacher. Simon was shocked. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I can’t leave my brother.” The teacher replied, “You won’t have to. I’ve seen Pedro’s designs. And he is too smart for us not to accept him.”

Passage 5
(2025·江苏常州·一模)Rock climbing has been a popular sport for a long time. It’s still popular today, but now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new—ice climbing.
Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. Some ice climbers climb frozen waterfalls. Others climb glaciers(冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice. Sometimes, they climb a mountain that is covered in ice only in some places. When they are climbing parts that don’t have ice, they’re rock climbing. When they’re climbing parts that have ice, they’re ice climbing.
As people made better equipment(装备), ice climbing started to become easier and more popular. In 1908, a climber made special boots called “crampons”. Those boots made ice climbing easier and safer. After that, more people were willing to try ice climbing. In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes. Climbers can use the axes to hit the ice. The axes go into the ice. Then the climber can pull himself or herself up.
These days, a lot of people are taking ice climbing classes. In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb.
Here’s one good thing about ice climbing. You can do it in easy places or difficult places. People who want to try something simple can climb glaciers or small mountains. Those are usually pretty easy. People who want to try something more challenging can find a more difficult place. The hardest places are usually steep mountains and frozen waterfalls. However, you should never go ice climbing alone. You should always go with a teacher.
A lot of people love ice climbing because it’s hard. These people like to challenge themselves. Some say that when you get to the top of a glacier or a frozen waterfall, you’ll have the best feeling.
前三题的答案不超过10个字,最后一题的答案字数不限。

Digital Adoption(数字认养): A New Way to Protect Wildlife
Hongshan Zoo has become a hot topic on the Internet. It led the digital adoption program, which aims not only at teaching science but also at increasing interaction(互动), encouraging animal-lovers to take part in animal protection.
Through the zoo’s mini-program, people can see different kinds of animals ready for adoption, such as wolves, capybaras, and red pandas. Adopters can be anyone who lives in Nanjing. If you are not local visitors, you can choose “digital adoption”.
Lu, a young lady, adopted a capybara named Fubao. She took part in an offline activity organized for adopters at the zoo. Through the activity, she fed, touched and played with it in a close way.
In order to build the deep connection between adopters and animals, Hongshan Zoo not only often holds the offline activity at the zoo but also updates(更新) the animals’ lives through photos and livestreams(直播) online.
Wang, a lawyer from Liaoning province, adopted a meerkat named Little Prince. She says, “Since I don’t live in Nanjing, I’m thankful that the zoo offers livestreams and it is easier for me to know the latest information about Little Prince. I can also know whether it lives a happy life or it is healthy enough.”
Chen is not only a mother of two children but also the “mother” of a Bengal white tiger named Gucaini. She now receives monthly updates along with videos recorded by the tiger’s keeper. Moreover, she can communicate with her adopted animal through livestreams.
Actually, digital adoption program helps provide a meaningful way for animal lovers from far away to make a contribution to animal protection. On one hand, even if they can’t visit the zoo, they can support their adopted animals as well. On the other hand, they can stay connected with their adopted animals through the zoo’s mini-program all the time.

35. 根据“Hongshan Zoo has become a hot topic on the Internet”可知,洪山动物园已经成为互联网上的“热门话题”。其中“hot topic”对应“under discussion”意为“被热议”。故填discussion。
36. 根据“It led the digital adoption program, which aims not only at teaching science but also at increasing interaction, encouraging animal-lovers to take part in animal protection.”可知,文中明确说明该计划旨在“teaching science”,此处使用动词原形“teach”。“designed to teach people science”表示“旨在教给人们科学”。故填teach。
37. 根据“Adopters can be anyone who lives in Nanjing.”可知,居住在南京的任何人可成为认养者。因此“Common adopters”指“local people”。故填local。
38. 根据“Through the activity, she fed, touched and played with it in a close way.”可知,句中描述她以亲密的方式去接触它,“in a close way”指“以亲密的方式”。此处需用副词形式修饰动词短语“Feed and play with animals...”,“close”的副词形式是“closely”,表示“近距离地”。故填closely。
39. 根据“Since I don’t live in Nanjing, I’m thankful that the zoo offers livestreams and it is easier for me to know the latest information about Little Prince.”可知,王女士表示直播让她更容易地了解小王子的最新信息。此处需副词修饰动词“get”,“easy”的副词修饰是“easily”表示“更便捷地”。故填easily。
40. 根据“I can also know whether it lives a happy life or it is healthy enough.”可知,句中提到了解动物是否“healthy enough”,此处是一个名词与“life”并列,因此使用“health”意为“健康”符合语境。“the animals’ life and health”表示“动物的生命和健康”。故填health。
41. 根据“Moreover, she can communicate with her adopted animal through livestreams.”可知,陈女士可通过直播与动物“交流”。此处应该使用名词,“communicate”的名词形式是“communication”。“have communication with adopted animals”表示“与收养的动物交流”。故填communication。
42. 根据最后一段“Actually, digital adoption program helps provide a meaningful way for animal lovers from far away to make a contribution to animal protection. On one hand, even if they can’t visit the zoo, they can support their adopted animals as well. On the other hand, they can stay connected with their adopted animals through the zoo’s mini-program all the time.”可知,本段强调计划的“优势”、总结计划的“意义”或者表达计划的“结果”。此处应该是一个概括性名词表达计划的“优势、意义或结果”,因此可以使用“advantage(s)/meaning(s)/result(s)”意为“优势、意义、结果”符合语境。故填advantage(s)/meaning(s)/result(s)。
43. 根据“On one hand, even if they can’t visit the zoo, they can support their adopted animals as well.”可知,句中指出即使他们不在南京,他们也可以支持他们收养的动物。句中“live in Nanjing or not does not...”表示是否住在南京地都不”要紧“。此处使用“matter”意为“要紧、重要”符合语境。故填matter。

A reader’s brain is different
It appears that few young people read for fun these days in the UK. In a 2024 survey by the UK charity The Reading Agency, almost one in four people aged 16~24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of structure does a good reader’s brain actually have?
My new study published in the journal Neuroimage studied open-source data from more than 1,000 people. The result shows differences in two regions of the brain’s left temporal lobe(大脑左颞叶), which sits behind the left ear.
One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole(颞极). It helps connect and sort different kinds of information. For example, to understand a word like “leg”, this brain region links how legs look, feel, and move. In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner compared to the right.
The other is the Heschl’s gyrus(海氏回) on the lobe’s upper part. The fold hosts the auditory cortex(听觉皮层) that processes sounds. That the auditory cortex would be related to reading might seem less obvious(明显的): isn’t reading mainly a visual skill? Not only. To match letters with speech sounds, we first need to be aware of the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness has been known to set the stage for children’s reading development.
A thinner left Heschl’s gyrus has previously been often related to dyslexia(阅读障碍), a condition that makes reading very difficult. However, my research shows that this difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It applies to more people, where having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have already mastered. For example, young adults who studied languages a lot saw an increase in the thickness of brain areas related to language. Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. So, if you want to keep your heschl’s gyrus healthy, pick up a good book and start reading.

Passage 11
(2025·江苏常州·二模)阅读短文,回答问题。前 3 题每题答案不超过 10 个词
Two friends, Lucas Lu and Sara Wang, are sitting in a café.
Lucas: (Reading on his phone.) Have you heard? China’s skill of building wooden arch bridges(拱桥) is now on the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗产).
Sara: Really? Are these bridges still there?
Lucas: (Searching on his phone.) Yes, there are more than 100 of them. Most are in Zhejiang and Fujian.
Sara: But if they are very old bridges, how can they still be there? I mean, shouldn’t they be falling down or even long gone?
Lucas: Well, I think it’s because of the skill of their “mortise and tenon” structure(榫卯结构). Ancient people built these bridges without using nails(钉子). Basically, builders use mortise and tenon joints to fit two sets of beams (梁) together. The longer beams are as long as the main body of the bridge. Mortises are cut into their ends. The shorter beams have tenons at their ends. The tenons are carefully fit into the mortises. Then the beams form a solid arch to support the bridge.
Sara: That sounds like a very difficult skill.
Lucas: It certainly is. And when designing a wooden arch bridge, designers have to think about a lot of things, such as traffic flow and fengshui. They must also find out about the area’s land and soil.
Sara: It’s a lot more than just getting from one place to another.
Lucas: Exactly! In fact, the skill has been passed down since the Song Dynasty. But modern technology has made it seem out of date.
Sara: I hope more people will see it as it’s now on the UNESCO list.
Lucas: Me too! It would be sad if we lost this ancient wisdom.
55. What is the most amazing and challenging skill in building these ancient bridges?
56. What things do builders have to consider when designing these bridges? Please name two things.
57. When did people first use this skill to build things?
58. As a Chinese teenager, how would you help protect this skill?

Passage 13
(2025·江苏宿迁·二模)阅读短文,回答下面小题。
During this year’s Two Sessions(两会), the term “weight management” caught a lot of attention. That’s because the government has carried out a three-year action program called “Weight Management Year”. This program aims to help people understand the importance of controlling the weight to promote(促进) a healthy lifestyle.
Many children and adults have been fighting against obesity(肥胖). According to the report from the National Health Commission, over half of the adults and about 20% of school-aged children in China are overweight(过重的). Obesity not only affects appearance but also causes serious health problems. What’s worse, obesity can even bring people psychological problems(心理问题), such as depression(抑郁) and anxiety. So, weight management has become an important part of many people’s lives.
The program includes activities like sports events, healthy eating workshops, and fun challenges. As we all know, the obesity has become a serious problem among teenagers. There is no doubt that both schools and parents play an important role in the weight management. For example, schools can organize different kinds of sports activities during the breaks at school, while parents can encourage the children to do exercise and eat healthily after school. Of course, students are supposed to be responsible for their own weight and health as well. By working together, we can create a healthier young generation.
The government believes that by promoting a healthy lifestyle, we can reduce chronic diseases (慢性病) like high blood pressure, diabetes(糖尿病), and heart problems. The “Weight Management Year” does not mean forcing everyone to lose weight. Instead, it focuses on the scientific management of weight to further improve the overall health of nation. Let’s join together and make ourselves healthier and our nation stronger.
63. Is the weight management necessary for people in their daily life?
64. How long will the weight management program last?
65. If there is an overweight boy in your class, what problems will he probably face?
【答案】
63. Yes./Yes, it is.

Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other neighbouring countries, and were well received there. Now they are taken as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.
As for the name itself, it is meaningful. The Chinese character for “knot”, jie, means “connection” or “combination”. It reminds people of some cultural concepts like marriage, brotherhood, friendship, unity and reunion(团圆). Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese character jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck. Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese, come in various(各种各样的) sizes. Small ones are joined to jewellery, clothes, gift-wrapping and furniture to attract people’s attention, and large ones are applied(应用) like fine paintings or photographs to decorate a living room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a dozen basic knot patterns(样式), named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things coming in pairs”. However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two very similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition to their varied sizes and patters, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots is made of only one string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich and have various traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours, red symbolises good luck and happiness, green means health and harmony, and yellow, which was once known as the emperor’s colour, may represent wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the depth of Chinese culture. These brightly coloured knots of various patterns, with their endless chains of knots, symbolise that life on earth will continue forever.

The rain poured down again. Mary hated it—She couldn’t go out in the bad weather. She looked out of the window and asked Martha, one of her servants(仆人), “What do you do when it rains like this?”
“Eh! Most of us prefer to stay inside and read,” Martha answered. “But Dickon goes out just the same as if the sun was shining. He says he sees things on rainy days as they don’t show on fine days. He once found a wounded fox and brought it home.”
Mary forgot the rain as she listened. She even began to feel slightly interested and said before she thought, “I wish I had a fox. But I have nothing.”
The next morning Mary woke to bright sunshine and ran outside. Then, she found a boy whistling as he dug. When he saw Mary, he touched his cap. “I’m Dickon,” he said.
“The one who helps animals?” she asked.
“Aye, I’m their friend,” he said. Then a robin hopped to his shoulder. “This is Captain. He showed me where the buried(埋藏的) key is.”
Mary’s heart beat quickly. “Key?”
“Yes, for the garden,” said Dickon. “Captain’s nest is in the roses climbing over the wall. When I was weeding(除杂草) below, he kept flying to a place under the leaves. I dug there and found the key.”
Mary took the key Dickon handed over. It was a rusted (生锈的) one, which seemed to keep a secret.
They walked around the walled garden and found a half-buried stone door. Mary put the key into the lock. When the door finally opened, sunlight shone through the roses, brightening the silent garden full of weeds.(取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《秘密花园》)

Chinese architect Liu Jiakun, 68, was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4. becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of architecture. Based in Chengdu, Liu’s career covers four decades and more than 30 projects. He founded Jiakun Architects in 1999 and has built a diverse body of work, ranging from small, beautifully designed museums and monuments(纪念碑) to large commercial buildings and master plans for cities.
The Pritzker Architecture Prize
Rather than following a distinct style, Liu’s projects include local elements and rely on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, The Spaces reported. “He has developed a strategy that never bases on a recurring(反复出现的) method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury(评审团) said in its citation announcing the award.
One of Liu’s most well-known projects around the world was the so-called “rebirth bricks” he created after the terrible Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. To aid in reconstruction, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement(水泥) and rubble(瓦砾) from collapsed buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks were “a poetic metaphor”, for the rebirth of the material and “the spiritual rebirth of the community at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian, These bricks were later used in several of his projects, including the Shuijingfang Museum in Chengdu and the Novartis pharmaceutical(制药) company in Shanghai.
Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people. This is reflected in his largest project, West Village, a five-story urban complex completed in 2015 in Chengdu, The complex includes a soccer field, a market, and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians(行人). With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the liveliness of ‘everyday life’,” wrote critic Austin Williams in 2017. It has become a popular destination for people from home and abroad to spend their leisure time.
“Architecture serves to create a beautiful, just and dignified(有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” Liu told China Daily.

Passage 20
(2025·江苏徐州·一模)Bobby Darin must have felt as though he belonged everywhere. During his short life, he was a singer, an actor, a songwriter and television host. His music career covered swing, folk, and rock and roll. When he died of heart failure at the age of 37, Darin seemed to be famous for doing just about everything.
Darin was born with the name Walden Robert Cassotto. He chose the name Bobby Darin when he decided to go into show business. He took his new name from a sign on a Chinese restaurant. The letters M-a-n in the word Mandarin went out, and he thought the rest of the sign was a perfect short name that people would remember.
He began his career as a songwriter in the early days of rock and roll. In the 1950s, he wrote “Love Me Right” and “Early in the Morning” for other singers. Darin also recorded some of his own songs, such as “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover”. These songs showed he was a good songwriter, but he was still trying to be a singer.
After he recorded a song in 1959 called “Mack the Knife”, however, everything changed. It was a song that Louis Armstrong and Lawrence Welk had recorded before, but Darin’s version became the most famous. The song was number one on the pop music charts. It was Darin’s first and biggest success.
During the mid-1960s, Darin showed great interest in folk music. He began to write and sing folk songs. He recorded versions of “If I Were a Carpenter” and Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind”.
Darin wanted to do more than just singing, so when he had time during his busy singing and recording career, he started acting too. He received an Academy Award nomination for his role in the film Captain Newman, M. D. He guest-hosted several TV shows and even had his own show. He always reinvented himself—not just to stay popular, but to express deeper parts of who he was.
Darin had always known about the heart condition that led to his death. When he died in 1973, it seemed as though he had been on a mission to do as much in his life as he could. He had all kinds of friends. During his life, he called Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. Gore Vidal, and Liza Minnelli his friends. He once said his goal was to be “accepted widely as an entertainer and human being.” Darin may very well have achieved his goal.

Now, Zhang Li realizes that Wheat Straw Painting is what she wants to do for the rest of her life.

One of her greatest works is a bird among flowers. It took her the whole year to finish it. The bird’s smooth-shiny and colorful feathers are made of wheat straw, while the flowers are made of silk. “In my works, you will find paintings and embroideries mix well.” said Zhang Li.
Through great effort, Zhang Li successfully brought Wheat Straw Painting to people’s attention. She said, “What I have done is just the very beginning. There is still a long way to go.”

Passage 3
(2024·江苏徐州·中考真题)
Skipping to victory
Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou. Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness(吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.
Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said.
However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competítion. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid(无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized(认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first. But he won’t stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.
注:每题答案不超过6个词。

考点二 整合转换题
此考点是典型的二次加工题型,需要考生有基本的构词法知识,对句子成分和词性的对应关系要明确。做题时,不但要找到与试题相关的句子信息,还要根据词法和句法知识以及上下文的逻辑关系进行加工,从而提炼出新词。可细分为如下两种情况:
(1)词形整合转换。被考查单词在原文和试题中充当的句子成分不同,因而需在名词、动词、形容词、副词等之间进行转换。
(2)句型整合转换。试题中的被考查单词在原文中找不到同根词,无法获取单词进行转换,需根据原文中相应句子的意义和上下文逻辑联系进行句型转换。
①表格内词性、大小写和语法运用上要保持一致。同一单元格要注意在用词方面保持一致的格式。
②善用同义词和反义词进行转换。
③正确使用构词法。
④熟练运用句型转换。
词性与句子成分的一致性关系:
英语中的十大词类均在句子中充当成分,记住词性与成分关系:
(1)谓语:动词(具备人称、数、时态、语态、语气、情态的变化特
点)。
【温馨提示】英语中任何完整的句子都离不开谓语动词,没谓语动词的句子通常是错误的。
(2)主语和宾语:名词、代词、数词、动名词、不定式和从句。
(3)表格和补语:名词、代词、数词、形容词、介词短语、非修饰性副词、非谓语形式和从句。
(4)定语:名词及其所有格、代词、数词、形容词、副词、非谓语形式和从句。
(5)状语:副词、形容词、不定式、分词和从句。 (6)同位语:名词、代词、动名词、不定式和从句。
【拓展延伸】
(1)“the+形容词”可转化为名词表示一类人/物。
(2)形容词充当状语只表示主语特征和状态,不修饰谓语动词;修饰谓语动词用副词。 He got home at last, tired and hungry. He was lying on the grass, relaxed. He sings happily.
(3)能接宾语的只有及物动词和介词,构成动宾和介宾结构。
(4)主、谓、宾、表、补语是句子的基本成分,不可或缺;定、状、同位语是修饰成分,缺少时基本句型依然成立。
语法匹配 (to, -ing, -ed, 主被动语态的转换)、连词、介词的运用、固定句型、同义句等都属于句子结构转换的内容。
1. It’s + adj. of sb. to do …= 主语+ be + too + adj + to do sth =so … that …/…adj. enough to do …
2. It’s + adj. 比较级than …= it’s adj. 最高级 of /in …
3. 主动语态与被动语态相互转换
4. It takes sb. + 时间+to do = sb spend + 时间+on/ doing sth = sb devote + 时间+to doing sth
5. If…not与unless 句型转换
6. because与so, although 与 but 相互转换的句型
7. provide sb.with sth, provide sth for sb, offer sb sth, offer sth to sb , give sb sth , give sth to sb.
8. 主语+ be + 形容词 (important/valuable/helpful)= 主语+ be + of + 名词(imprtance/value/help)
9. would rather do sth than do sth = prefer doing sth to doing sth 宁愿做……
10. prepare to do sth = get ready to do sth 准备好做……
11. give up doing sth = stop doing sth 停止做……
12. can do sth = be able to do sth 能做……

Passage 2
(2024·江苏徐州·中考真题)
Skipping to victory
Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou. Zhejiang. Last September he broke the Guinness(吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013.
Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ Rope Skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said.
However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competítion. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid(无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized(认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.
Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training stood him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength.
Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first. But he won’t stop training and still hopes to beat his own record one day.
注:每题答案不超过6个词。
2. Which English saying will you use to describe Zhou Qi according to Paragraph 4?

(2024·江苏扬州·中考真题)A total of 23 spotted seals(斑海豹) were put back into the waters off the coast of Dalian in Northeast China’s Liaoning Province on Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2023 as part of China’s continuous efforts to protect endangered wildlife.
The seals were hunted and sold, but have now been saved and marked for future protection. A fishery law enforcement ship arrived at the sea area near Dalian in the morning, carrying the spotted seals. The seals were let go free one by one into the sea. They swam freely in the water, returning to their natural home.
Spotted seals are nationally protected animals in China. They are the only kind of seals that can breed (繁殖) in Chinese waters. Like migratory (迁徙的) birds, they appear around October every year in Liaodong Bay, and take the long journey back to the Northwest Pacific in May after breeding. They are often considered as the “panda of the sea”.
Thanks to China’s top-class national protection in recent years, the population of spotted seals in Chinese waters has reached around 2,000, while the global population is between 400,000 and 600,000. Studies have shown that these 2,000 spotted seals are of great importance for the study and research on spotted seals.
To protect this rare animal and its ecological environment, the Liaoning Dalian Spotted Seal Wetlands were set up in 1992. In January 2002, they were included in the List of Wetlands of International Importance. Covering an area of 560,000 hectares with a coastline of about 370 kilometers, the wetlands are rich in biological resources. They have become home to nationally protected animals such as the spotted seal, finless porpoise, killer whales, false killer whales, common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and East Asian river dolphins.
Since 1992, researchers in Dalian have successfully saved 388 spotted seals and put 299 of them back into the wild.
3. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to (指的是)?
4. As a student, what can you do to protect wildlife?
Passage 1
(2025·江苏无锡·一模)Wang Wei (701-761), often called the “Poet Buddha”, was a famous Chinese poet, painter, and government official during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Born into a high family, he passed a difficult government exam at age 20 and worked for the emperor for many years.
Wang Wei is best known for his simple, peaceful poems about nature. His works often describe quiet scenes of mountains, rivers, and mist with few people. Experts(专家) say his poems show the beauty of the world while making readers think about what’s truly real.
But he wasn’t just an amazing poet; he was also a talented painter. He used ink and water in soft colours to create gentle, poetic pictures of nature. It was a new style of painting Chinese landscapes. Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) once said that Wang Wei “had painting in his poetry” and “poetry in his painting”.
His most famous work, Wang River Collection, contains poems about traveling with his friend Pei Di. These poems have influenced writers for centuries, including modern writers who created new works based on his ideas. One poem called Weicheng Qu became a famous song called Three Repetitions on the Yangguan Tune, usually played on the guqin, an instrument Wang Wei probably played.
Scholars (学者) still study his poems today. A famous book called 19 Ways of Looking at Wang Wei examines different translations of his short poem Deer Park, showing how his simple words can have many meanings. Wang Wei’s works remain important because they help people see nature’s quiet beauty and think deeply about life.
1. When was Wang Wei born?
2. What was Wang Wei best known for?
3. Who spoke highly of Wang Wei for having painting in his poetry?
4. What two famous poems are mentioned in the passage?
5. Why are Wang Wei’s poems still studied today?

(2025·江苏徐州·二模)The Horsetail Fall is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing scenery. Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle to light the upper reaches of the fall. When conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava pouring down from the top of the El Capitan, so it got the name “firefall”.
The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall. There should also be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water in warm afternoon.
The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. The best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents.
Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. The spectacle may appear just minutes before sunset, so people have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite firefall is something you don't want to miss during the winter,” said Kate Moore, a traveller and lead content creator for a travel website.

On weekends, I like to go to yard sales with forty dollars. I always expect to find something I can sell on eBay, an online marketplace where people buy and sell things, and make a good profit(利润).
One day, at a yard sale, I saw a violin for just twenty dollars. I bought it right away without knowing its real value. I called my husband Rick to do a quick search on eBay to find out how much such an instrument would cost.
However, Rick said there weren’t any violins like that listed. It was strange because I thought selling violins online was quite common. After I hung up, I began to worry: Maybe no one would buy the violin at all.
On my way home, an elderly man asked if I could sell him the violin for fifty dollars. I agreed and handed him the violin. I returned home happily. Then I sat at the computer, went to the eBay home page, and typed in the kind of second-hand violin I had just sold. To my surprise, I found three violins just like mine selling for over 500 dollars each! I realized Rick hadn’t checked the eBay home page.
I sold the violin at such a low price! I felt awful and decided to buy it back, but Rick said the weather would soon get bad. Turning a deaf ear, I rushed out of our house. However, it suddenly began to rain heavily. I had to go home. I was sad, feeling I lost a great deal of money.
As time went on, I almost forgot it. One day, when I was walking on the street, an old man greeted me, “Good morning! Because of your generosity, my love of music has grown stronger. Now, I volunteer to teach kids to play the violin...” Then I realized he was my violin buyer. Hearing his words, I was proud of my decision that day. Sometimes, the real value is in helping others.
11. What did the writer ask her husband Rick to do after buying the violin at the yard sale?
12. How much profit did the writer make from selling the violin to the old man?
13. Why did the writer feel awful after checking the eBay home page?

(2025·江苏南通·模拟预测)请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
There once were two young brothers, Simon and Pedro, who dreamed of going to university to become engineers. There was just one problem. They came from a poor family in a small town that was far from any university. The only way they could make their dream come true was that one of them worked in the local mine (矿井) to pay for the other to go to school. And when the first one became an engineer, he would pay for the other to go to school.
They flipped(轻掷) a coin. Simon won. But he said, “I can’t go. You are much smarter than me.” Pedro convinced him to go. Simon headed off to school and Pedro worked hard to make money to pay for his schooling. Simon was the hardest-working student there. He soon became known as the best student. But he always told people that his brother was the really smart one. He would proudly show everyone Pedro’s designs of machines.
Then, near the end of the first year of school, there was an accident in the mine. Pedro was hurt quite badly and would never be able to work in the mine again. Without money, Simon had to quit school. He took care of his brother, and they were both terribly sad.
One day, a car pulled up to their little house and out came Simon’s teacher. “Simon, we want you to come back,” said his teacher. Simon was shocked. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I can’t leave my brother.” The teacher replied, “You won’t have to. I’ve seen Pedro’s designs. And he is too smart for us not to accept him.”

Passage 5
(2025·江苏常州·一模)Rock climbing has been a popular sport for a long time. It’s still popular today, but now a lot of rock climbers are trying something new—ice climbing.
Ice climbing is a lot like rock climbing. When you go rock climbing, you climb a mountain. When you go ice climbing, you climb ice. Some ice climbers climb frozen waterfalls. Others climb glaciers(冰川). Still others climb mountains that are covered with ice. Sometimes, they climb a mountain that is covered in ice only in some places. When they are climbing parts that don’t have ice, they’re rock climbing. When they’re climbing parts that have ice, they’re ice climbing.
As people made better equipment(装备), ice climbing started to become easier and more popular. In 1908, a climber made special boots called “crampons”. Those boots made ice climbing easier and safer. After that, more people were willing to try ice climbing. In the 1960s, another climber invented special axes. Climbers can use the axes to hit the ice. The axes go into the ice. Then the climber can pull himself or herself up.
These days, a lot of people are taking ice climbing classes. In order to go ice climbing, you have to be strong and healthy. In fact, some teachers say that you should do special exercises before you start to climb.
Here’s one good thing about ice climbing. You can do it in easy places or difficult places. People who want to try something simple can climb glaciers or small mountains. Those are usually pretty easy. People who want to try something more challenging can find a more difficult place. The hardest places are usually steep mountains and frozen waterfalls. However, you should never go ice climbing alone. You should always go with a teacher.
A lot of people love ice climbing because it’s hard. These people like to challenge themselves. Some say that when you get to the top of a glacier or a frozen waterfall, you’ll have the best feeling.

These days. DeepSeek has received a lot of attention on the Internet. So what is DeepSeek? It’s an AI tool founded by a Chinese company on July 17, 2023. The team of researchers have studied in the top universities in China and have no oversea educational background, and most of whom are under 34 years old. They are also very good at math, physics and coding. The company works on AI, especially big models. Think of it like building a super smart brain that can think and solve problems like humans (this is called AGI).
On January 20, 2025, the company made a new AI called DeepSeek-R1. It could help people find information and summarize it, solve math problems, write code, and answer questions like top models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT-40. What made the whole world completely surprised was that it cost much less to build. It only took the team $5.58 million (1/70 of OpenAI’s cost) and2,048 computer chips, and two months to create it. This meant that good ideas could beat big money. On its first day online, over 19,000 programmers around the world started projects to study it. Even Meta (a famous U. S. tech company) top scientist said, “This kind of free AI could change the world.”
As a DeepSeek engineer said, “We want AI to be a friend, not something only rich people can use.” With R1, China shows the world that great things come from new ideas, not just money. And we can see that the future development of the AI is bright and hopeful, which gives us more confidence and courage to explore the unknown new world.

Digital Adoption(数字认养): A New Way to Protect Wildlife
Hongshan Zoo has become a hot topic on the Internet. It led the digital adoption program, which aims not only at teaching science but also at increasing interaction(互动), encouraging animal-lovers to take part in animal protection.
Through the zoo’s mini-program, people can see different kinds of animals ready for adoption, such as wolves, capybaras, and red pandas. Adopters can be anyone who lives in Nanjing. If you are not local visitors, you can choose “digital adoption”.
Lu, a young lady, adopted a capybara named Fubao. She took part in an offline activity organized for adopters at the zoo. Through the activity, she fed, touched and played with it in a close way.
In order to build the deep connection between adopters and animals, Hongshan Zoo not only often holds the offline activity at the zoo but also updates(更新) the animals’ lives through photos and livestreams(直播) online.
Wang, a lawyer from Liaoning province, adopted a meerkat named Little Prince. She says, “Since I don’t live in Nanjing, I’m thankful that the zoo offers livestreams and it is easier for me to know the latest information about Little Prince. I can also know whether it lives a happy life or it is healthy enough.”
Chen is not only a mother of two children but also the “mother” of a Bengal white tiger named Gucaini. She now receives monthly updates along with videos recorded by the tiger’s keeper. Moreover, she can communicate with her adopted animal through livestreams.
Actually, digital adoption program helps provide a meaningful way for animal lovers from far away to make a contribution to animal protection. On one hand, even if they can’t visit the zoo, they can support their adopted animals as well. On the other hand, they can stay connected with their adopted animals through the zoo’s mini-program all the time.
The event
Hongshan Zoo is under 35 on the Internet.

A reader’s brain is different
It appears that few young people read for fun these days in the UK. In a 2024 survey by the UK charity The Reading Agency, almost one in four people aged 16~24 in the country said they didn’t read regularly. What does it mean? What kind of structure does a good reader’s brain actually have?
My new study published in the journal Neuroimage studied open-source data from more than 1,000 people. The result shows differences in two regions of the brain’s left temporal lobe(大脑左颞叶), which sits behind the left ear.
One is the lobe’s front part known as the temporal pole(颞极). It helps connect and sort different kinds of information. For example, to understand a word like “leg”, this brain region links how legs look, feel, and move. In people who read well, the left temporal pole is thinner compared to the right.
The other is the Heschl’s gyrus(海氏回) on the lobe’s upper part. The fold hosts the auditory cortex(听觉皮层) that processes sounds. That the auditory cortex would be related to reading might seem less obvious(明显的): isn’t reading mainly a visual skill? Not only. To match letters with speech sounds, we first need to be aware of the sounds of the spoken language. This phonological awareness has been known to set the stage for children’s reading development.
A thinner left Heschl’s gyrus has previously been often related to dyslexia(阅读障碍), a condition that makes reading very difficult. However, my research shows that this difference in thickness isn’t just about dyslexia. It applies to more people, where having a thicker auditory cortex is related to being better at reading skills. But it’s important to know that the brain changes when we learn something new or practice a skill we have already mastered. For example, young adults who studied languages a lot saw an increase in the thickness of brain areas related to language. Similarly, reading is likely to shape the structure of the left Heschl’s gyrus. So, if you want to keep your heschl’s gyrus healthy, pick up a good book and start reading.
45 information
● Few young people enjoy reading in the UK.
● 1/4 of people aged 16~24 don’t have the 46 of regular reading.
A study
● It is 47 on open-source data from over 1000 people.
● It studies the influence of reading on the 48 structure.
Findings
There’re 49 lying in two parts of the brain’s left temporal lobe.
The temporal pole
● It lies in the front part of the lobe.
● It helps connect and sort information.
● Skilled 50 have a thinner left temporal pole.
The Heschl’s gyrus
● It lies on the upper part of the lobe.
● The auditory cortex in this part deals with sounds.
● Though it isn’t 51 noticed, the auditory cortex helps children’s reading development.
● People with a thicker auditory cortex do 52 in reading.

Two friends, Lucas Lu and Sara Wang, are sitting in a café.
Lucas: (Reading on his phone.) Have you heard? China’s skill of building wooden arch bridges(拱桥) is now on the list of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage(非物质文化遗产).
Sara: Really? Are these bridges still there?
Lucas: (Searching on his phone.) Yes, there are more than 100 of them. Most are in Zhejiang and Fujian.
Sara: But if they are very old bridges, how can they still be there? I mean, shouldn’t they be falling down or even long gone?
Lucas: Well, I think it’s because of the skill of their “mortise and tenon” structure(榫卯结构). Ancient people built these bridges without using nails(钉子). Basically, builders use mortise and tenon joints to fit two sets of beams (梁) together. The longer beams are as long as the main body of the bridge. Mortises are cut into their ends. The shorter beams have tenons at their ends. The tenons are carefully fit into the mortises. Then the beams form a solid arch to support the bridge.
Sara: That sounds like a very difficult skill.
Lucas: It certainly is. And when designing a wooden arch bridge, designers have to think about a lot of things, such as traffic flow and fengshui. They must also find out about the area’s land and soil.
Sara: It’s a lot more than just getting from one place to another.
Lucas: Exactly! In fact, the skill has been passed down since the Song Dynasty. But modern technology has made it seem out of date.
Sara: I hope more people will see it as it’s now on the UNESCO list.
Lucas: Me too! It would be sad if we lost this ancient wisdom.

While I was driving him home, and his wife telephoned to say that his son had a bad cold.
He was silent all the way. When we arrived, he invited me to meet his family.
As we walked towards the front door, he stopped at a small tree and touched the tree with his hands. When we opened the door, I was very surprised to see that the worker wore a big smile. It seemed that he changed into another person. He hugged his son and gave his wife a kiss.
After a while, when he walked to the car, I asked him why he had touched the tree.
“Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he answered. “Sometimes I have trouble with my job, but one thing is for sure-it doesn’t belong to my wife or my son. So I just hang up the trouble on the tree when I come home every night. Then the next morning I pick it up. However, when I pick it up, I hardly remember what I put the night before.”
That’s true, sometimes the best way to deal with the trouble is to put it down.

(2025·江苏宿迁·二模)阅读短文,回答下面小题。
During this year’s Two Sessions(两会), the term “weight management” caught a lot of attention. That’s because the government has carried out a three-year action program called “Weight Management Year”. This program aims to help people understand the importance of controlling the weight to promote(促进) a healthy lifestyle.
Many children and adults have been fighting against obesity(肥胖). According to the report from the National Health Commission, over half of the adults and about 20% of school-aged children in China are overweight(过重的). Obesity not only affects appearance but also causes serious health problems. What’s worse, obesity can even bring people psychological problems(心理问题), such as depression(抑郁) and anxiety. So, weight management has become an important part of many people’s lives.
The program includes activities like sports events, healthy eating workshops, and fun challenges. As we all know, the obesity has become a serious problem among teenagers. There is no doubt that both schools and parents play an important role in the weight management. For example, schools can organize different kinds of sports activities during the breaks at school, while parents can encourage the children to do exercise and eat healthily after school. Of course, students are supposed to be responsible for their own weight and health as well. By working together, we can create a healthier young generation.
The government believes that by promoting a healthy lifestyle, we can reduce chronic diseases (慢性病) like high blood pressure, diabetes(糖尿病), and heart problems. The “Weight Management Year” does not mean forcing everyone to lose weight. Instead, it focuses on the scientific management of weight to further improve the overall health of nation. Let’s join together and make ourselves healthier and our nation stronger.
63. Is the weight management necessary for people in their daily life?
64. How long will the weight management program last?
65. If there is an overweight boy in your class, what problems will he probably face?

Chinese fancy knots, also called Chinese knots, refer to the traditional decorative knots in Chinese culture. They began as a form of folk art in the Tang and Song Dynasties in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other neighbouring countries, and were well received there. Now they are taken as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.
As for the name itself, it is meaningful. The Chinese character for “knot”, jie, means “connection” or “combination”. It reminds people of some cultural concepts like marriage, brotherhood, friendship, unity and reunion(团圆). Meanwhile, the pronunciation of the Chinese character jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots perfectly serve as a way to express people’s strong wishes for good things like joy, love and good luck. Besides, the knots, widely existing in the everyday life of the Chinese, come in various(各种各样的) sizes. Small ones are joined to jewellery, clothes, gift-wrapping and furniture to attract people’s attention, and large ones are applied(应用) like fine paintings or photographs to decorate a living room or study. Whether large or small, there are over a dozen basic knot patterns(样式), named according to their shapes, usages or origins. For example, Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things coming in pairs”. However, almost all the main styles of Chinese fancy knots are made up of two very similar parts, and the patterns on the front and the back sides are also similar in every detail.
In addition to their varied sizes and patters, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Each of the Chinese knots is made of only one string of cotton, silk, gold or silver. But the colours of the strings are rich and have various traditional cultural meanings. Among the most commonly used base colours, red symbolises good luck and happiness, green means health and harmony, and yellow, which was once known as the emperor’s colour, may represent wealth and honour.
In brief, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the depth of Chinese culture. These brightly coloured knots of various patterns, with their endless chains of knots, symbolise that life on earth will continue forever.

①Recently, an AI-generated(人工智能生成) video of sushi(寿司) became a hot topic over the night, attracting the attention of millions on the Internet. But what made this simple video so popular?
②At first, the video looks like any other food video—a well-plated sushi that looks very satisfying to eat. But as the video goes on, the sushi starts to change. It becomes a living thing that looks scary, unpleasant and strange enough. It is exactly not food any more. It moves, creeps(爬行), and even looks around, creating a sense of discomfort that grows the longer you watch. How unusual the art style is!
③The video quickly got millions of views. Some were impressed by how real and creative the animation(动画) was and amazed that AI could make the sushi look alive. But for many, it was too much. While a few found it “interesting”, most felt uncomfortable or scared. One person even shouted, “This is awful!”
④This video shows what AI can do in art. It can create very realistic pictures and animations, turning what we imagine in mind into what we see on the screen. But it also makes us wonder: Is it okay for AI to create things that might scare people or make them mentally(心理上) uncomfortable?
81. Why did the sushi video get widespread attention over the night?
82. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
83. List one of the advantages of AI technology according to the passage.
84. Is it necessary to stop AI creating videos? Why or why not?

The rain poured down again. Mary hated it—She couldn’t go out in the bad weather. She looked out of the window and asked Martha, one of her servants(仆人), “What do you do when it rains like this?”
“Eh! Most of us prefer to stay inside and read,” Martha answered. “But Dickon goes out just the same as if the sun was shining. He says he sees things on rainy days as they don’t show on fine days. He once found a wounded fox and brought it home.”
Mary forgot the rain as she listened. She even began to feel slightly interested and said before she thought, “I wish I had a fox. But I have nothing.”
The next morning Mary woke to bright sunshine and ran outside. Then, she found a boy whistling as he dug. When he saw Mary, he touched his cap. “I’m Dickon,” he said.
“The one who helps animals?” she asked.
“Aye, I’m their friend,” he said. Then a robin hopped to his shoulder. “This is Captain. He showed me where the buried(埋藏的) key is.”
Mary’s heart beat quickly. “Key?”
“Yes, for the garden,” said Dickon. “Captain’s nest is in the roses climbing over the wall. When I was weeding(除杂草) below, he kept flying to a place under the leaves. I dug there and found the key.”
Mary took the key Dickon handed over. It was a rusted (生锈的) one, which seemed to keep a secret.
They walked around the walled garden and found a half-buried stone door. Mary put the key into the lock. When the door finally opened, sunlight shone through the roses, brightening the silent garden full of weeds.(取材于扬州市“五个一百工程”指定阅读书目《秘密花园》)

Chinese architect Liu Jiakun, 68, was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 4. becoming the second winner from China to receive the highest honor in the field of architecture. Based in Chengdu, Liu’s career covers four decades and more than 30 projects. He founded Jiakun Architects in 1999 and has built a diverse body of work, ranging from small, beautifully designed museums and monuments(纪念碑) to large commercial buildings and master plans for cities.
The Pritzker Architecture Prize
Rather than following a distinct style, Liu’s projects include local elements and rely on “low-tech” simplicity to achieve beauty, The Spaces reported. “He has developed a strategy that never bases on a recurring(反复出现的) method but rather on evaluating the specific characteristics and requirements of each project differently,” the jury(评审团) said in its citation announcing the award.
One of Liu’s most well-known projects around the world was the so-called “rebirth bricks” he created after the terrible Wenchuan earthquake in 2008. To aid in reconstruction, Liu made bricks using local wheat fiber, cement(水泥) and rubble(瓦砾) from collapsed buildings. More than just recycling, these bricks were “a poetic metaphor”, for the rebirth of the material and “the spiritual rebirth of the community at a time of national mourning”, reported The Guardian, These bricks were later used in several of his projects, including the Shuijingfang Museum in Chengdu and the Novartis pharmaceutical(制药) company in Shanghai.
Liu’s design also focuses on ordinary people. This is reflected in his largest project, West Village, a five-story urban complex completed in 2015 in Chengdu, The complex includes a soccer field, a market, and pathways for cyclists and pedestrians(行人). With grass growing through holes in the bricks, the project celebrates “the liveliness of ‘everyday life’,” wrote critic Austin Williams in 2017. It has become a popular destination for people from home and abroad to spend their leisure time.
“Architecture serves to create a beautiful, just and dignified(有尊严的) living environment. People’s real lives, happiness and dignity are what we strive for,” Liu told China Daily.

Passage 19
(2025·江苏常州·模拟预测)Reading is like having a superpower. It opens doors to different worlds, ideas, and experiences that we might never get to see or do in real life.
When we read books, we enter a new universe. For example, in science-fiction books, we can travel to far-away planets, meet strange creatures, and learn about amazing technologies. In historical novels, we can walk through time, witness important events in history, and understand how people lived in the past.
Reading also helps us become better at understanding others. When we read stories about different people, we start to see the world from their eyes. This makes us more empathetic(有同理心的). We can understand their feelings, problems, and joys, which is very important for getting along with others in our daily life.
Moreover, reading improves our language skills. We learn new words, better sentence structures, and different ways to express our thoughts. The more we read, the better we can write and speak.
In a word, the power of reading is huge. It broadens our minds, makes us more understanding, and helps us communicate better. So, pick up a book and start your reading journey today!
99. What does reading open doors to according to the text?
100. Why does reading make us more empathetic?

Passage 20
(2025·江苏徐州·一模)Bobby Darin must have felt as though he belonged everywhere. During his short life, he was a singer, an actor, a songwriter and television host. His music career covered swing, folk, and rock and roll. When he died of heart failure at the age of 37, Darin seemed to be famous for doing just about everything.
Darin was born with the name Walden Robert Cassotto. He chose the name Bobby Darin when he decided to go into show business. He took his new name from a sign on a Chinese restaurant. The letters M-a-n in the word Mandarin went out, and he thought the rest of the sign was a perfect short name that people would remember.
He began his career as a songwriter in the early days of rock and roll. In the 1950s, he wrote “Love Me Right” and “Early in the Morning” for other singers. Darin also recorded some of his own songs, such as “Splish Splash” and “Dream Lover”. These songs showed he was a good songwriter, but he was still trying to be a singer.
After he recorded a song in 1959 called “Mack the Knife”, however, everything changed. It was a song that Louis Armstrong and Lawrence Welk had recorded before, but Darin’s version became the most famous. The song was number one on the pop music charts. It was Darin’s first and biggest success.
During the mid-1960s, Darin showed great interest in folk music. He began to write and sing folk songs. He recorded versions of “If I Were a Carpenter” and Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind”.
Darin wanted to do more than just singing, so when he had time during his busy singing and recording career, he started acting too. He received an Academy Award nomination for his role in the film Captain Newman, M. D. He guest-hosted several TV shows and even had his own show. He always reinvented himself—not just to stay popular, but to express deeper parts of who he was.
Darin had always known about the heart condition that led to his death. When he died in 1973, it seemed as though he had been on a mission to do as much in his life as he could. He had all kinds of friends. During his life, he called Robert F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr. Gore Vidal, and Liza Minnelli his friends. He once said his goal was to be “accepted widely as an entertainer and human being.” Darin may very well have achieved his goal.
