When you go to the restroom or dining hall, you always try to find someone to go with you because you are afraid of being seen alone. Is that you? Well, many people have these kinds of experiences. They are feeling social anxiety (社交恐惧). People with social anxiety may easily communicate with intimate ones, like their family members and old friends. But meeting new friends and talking in public can make them very shy and nervous. A recent survey from China Daily showed that about 45 percent of the 1,560 interviewees (受访者) said they experienced social anxiety. Stefan G. Hofmann, an expert from Boston University, the US, said that social anxiety is probably “a result of the fear that we will not be welcome”. For Chinese kids, there’s another reason for their anxiety. Shu Man from East China Jiaotong University said, “Most of them are the only child in their families, so they don’t have many chances to practice their social skills.” But how to be social and improve your social skills? People can follow these methods. Firstly, work on yourself-worth. Stop thinking of things that make you down. Do your best to stop comparing yourself with others. Secondly, start smiling and use a welcoming body language. Remember to give others a hug when you meet them. Stop looking at your phone all the time. Lastly, just be yourself. Take every chance to hang out with new people and those you like. Don’t hide yourself in your own world. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By giving reasons. B．By giving examples. C．By telling stories. D．By showing surveys. 2．What does the underlined word “intimate” mean in Paragraph 2? A．Polite. B．Quiet. C．Close. D．Humorous. 3．What can we learn from Stefan G. Hofmann and Shu Man’s words? A．The way to be away from social anxiety. B．The reason for social anxiety. C．What social anxiety is. D．When social anxiety starts. 4．What should you do to be social and improve your social skills according to the text? A．Read more books about social skills at home. B．Communicate with others using body languages. C．Watch more movies about communication on your phone. D．Go to public places more often and be friendly to others. 5．Which can be a proper title for the text? A．Understand and Deal with Social Anxiety B．Realize the Importance of Communication C．Stay away from Shyness D．Face the Stress from Society Bravely Passage2（2025·山东临沂·二模） Recently, the Chinese government introduced a national plan called “Weight Management Campaign”. It aims to help people manage their weight and live healthier lives. 6 Why is obesity (肥胖) a problem? Being overweight is not just about good looking. It can also cause serious health problems. Studies show that by 2030, 70.5% of adults and 31.8% of children could be overweight. If people do not act now, they may face serious health problems at a younger age. 7 Doctors use Body Mass Index (BMI,体重指数) to check if someone’s weight is healthy. It is a measure (测量方法) that uses your height and weight to work out if you are fit. For Chinese teenagers, a BMI between 15 and 22 is healthy. However, a BMI of 23 means overweight, and over 26 means obesity. What should we do to keep healthy? Keeping healthy habits is the most important thing. First, people should eat properly. It is wise to choose brown rice, fresh vegetables and fruit, fish and chicken for meat most of the time. 8 Experts suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate (中等的) exercise per week, like running, cycling, or swimming. How can society help? 9 Some schools hold sports meetings and set up more sports clubs. Some cities have weight control programs in hospitals. These programs give advice on food choice, exercise, and weight loss. Remember, small changes make a big difference. Let’s work together to build a healthier and happier China! A．What is a healthy weight? B．It’s a pity that people don't pay attention to it. C．Second, exercise also plays an important role. D．It is necessary to get social and medical support. E．Here are the things we should know about the plan. Passage3（2025·浙江·二模） Many food myths about healthy eating lead us to make poor choices. Understanding the truth behind these ideas helps us make better food choices and stay healthy. Let’s explore four facts. The human body needs to eat many different types of food to stay healthy. The Chinese Food Guide Pagoda (中国食品指南塔) shows us what food we should eat. While fruit and vegetables are healthy choices, it is just as important to eat foods from other food groups. Milk, for example, has many nutrients (营养) and is good for our bones. We should include milk or dairy products among the things we eat. “Eating fat makes you fat.” Eating fat is important for keeping us healthy. It gives us energy and helps our body to take in nutrients. Not all fat makes us gain weight. Some fat can even encourage our body to lose weight. For example, fats in foods like nuts are good for your heart and help your body use energy better. It is necessary to include some, but not too much, fat in our food to help our body work well. “It’s OK to eat only what I like while I’m young.” When we are young, it might feel like we can just eat whatever we want! For example, sweets and fried foods taste delicious. But we cannot eat those foods alone. Having a balanced (均衡的) eating habits is very important when we are young. It helps our body and brain to grow well. Bad eating habits may stay with us our whole life, so it is best to develop good eating habits when we are young! “What you want to eat means what you need.” Sometimes, our body wants certain foods because it needs the nutrients in them. But often, we just want foods because we like how they taste, not because our body needs them. For example, we might want candy, but our body doesn’t really need that sugar. It’s good to eat different kinds of foods, like fruits, vegetables and grains, to make sure we get all the nutrients we need. Just eating what we want can make us miss out on important vitamins and minerals. 10．What does the underlined word “myths” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．true facts B．old stories            C．wrong ideas     D．science rules 11．Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank “________”? A．“Only fruit and vegetables are healthy foods.” B．“Drinking milk every day is good for our bones.” C．“Snacks and drinks are just as healthy as fruits and vegetables.” D．“You don’t need to eat fruits or vegetables a lot to stay healthy.” 12．What are the four facts in common? A．They all show the influence of eating fruits and vegetables. B．They all discuss how to avoid getting fat and missing nutrients. C．They all explain why eating only one type of food is unhealthy. D．They all use examples to show the importance of balanced eating. 13．What is the purpose of the text? A．To encourage people to stop eating sweet and fried food. B．To explain why food can help our body use energy better. C．To correct food myths and develop balanced eating habits. D．To advise people to follow the Chinese Food Guide Pagoda. Passage4（2025·浙江·二模） Imagine you taking a pleasant walk down the street on a Sunday morning. The sky turns dark and suddenly it starts to rain heavily. Unluckily, you don’t have an umbrella with you. It will take you at least fifteen minutes to walk home. If you choose to run, that will cut the time in half. Which one would you choose? Some people believe that they should run home. It makes good sense: The less time you spend out in the rain, the less wet you will get. Others think that if they run, they will hit the raindrops with greater speed and get more of the water. When they walk, on the other hand, they will hit the water slower and get less of it. So, which view is correct? Over the years, scientists have done many different experiments to answer this question. All of them have found the same answer. In order to get less wet without an umbrella, one must move as fast as possible in the rain. In one of these experiments, for example, two people set out together in heavy rain. Both of them wore the same cotton sweaters. One person ran to the end of a 100-meter path, while the other walked there. Then, they each weighed their sweaters. The walker’s sweater weighed 40 percent more than the runner’s. Clearly, the walker had got more water on the way. If you’re interested, you can do a simple experiment with a friend. Prepare two sponges (海绵) in your schoolbag. When it rains, you two can each take one sponge. Stick your sponges out of your umbrellas so that they can get the rain. Have your friend run to the end of a path and you walk there. Then, squeeze (挤压) the water out of each sponge. Which of you will collect more water? Hope to hear the results of your experiment soon! 14．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By sharing an unlucky story about rain experiments. B．By presenting a common situation and a question. C．By describing a personal experience on a rainy day. D．By explaining the science behind rain and movement. 15．What may influence people’s view on getting less wet according to Paragraph 2? ①The type of shoes they have on. ②The amount of time spent in the rain. ③The direction of the wind during the rain. ④The speed of a person’s movement through the rain. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 16．What can we know from the experiment in Paragraph 3? A．Running in the rain makes you completely dry. B．Moving faster in the rain helps you get less wet. C．Cotton sweaters are the best choice for rainy days. D．The walker’s sweater got less water than the runner’s. 17．What can be the best name for the experiment according to Paragraph 4? A．The Sponge Water Challenge. B．Testing Speed and Power of Rain. C．Rainy Day Science: Sponges vs Umbrellas. D．Run or Walk: Who Stays Drier in the Rain?. Passage5（2025·江苏扬州·二模） Wearable Health Tech for Teens In recent years, wearable health technology has become popular among teenagers. These devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers (追踪器), offer a series of features that can help teens monitor (监视) and improve their health. One of the key benefits of wearable health tech for teens is the ability to track physical activity. Most fitness trackers can count steps, measure distance traveled, and monitor the number of calories burned. This information encourages teens to be more active and set fitness goals. For example, if a teen sees that they haven’t reached their daily step goal, they may be motivated to go for a walk or play a sport. Some devices even have built-in GPS, allowing teens to accurately (精确地) track their running or cycling routes. Wearable tech also helps with sleep monitoring. Many smartwatches can detect the different stages of sleep, such as deep sleep, light sleep, and REM sleep. By analyzing this data, teens can understand their sleep habits better. If they notice that they are not getting enough deep sleep, they can make adjustments (调整) to their bedtime routine, like going to bed earlier or avoiding screens before sleep. This is especially important for teens, as proper sleep is crucial for their physical and mental development. In addition, some wearable devices can monitor important signs such as heart rate and blood pressure. This is useful for teens with certain health conditions or those who want to keep an eye on their overall health. For example, if a teen’s heart rate suddenly spikes (迅速上升) during exercise, the device can warn them, and they can take proper action. Moreover, wearable health tech can be integrated with mobile apps, creating a community for teens. They can share their fitness achievements, compete with friends, and get motivation (动力) and support. This social aspect makes the experience of using these devices more attractive and fun for teens. 18．How can fitness trackers encourage teens to be more active? A．By showing their social media posts. B．By counting steps and setting goals. C．By playing music during exercise. D．By taking pictures of their workouts. 19．Why is sleep monitoring important for teens? A．Because it helps them stay up late. B．Because it can replace their alarm clocks. C．Because proper sleep is important for their development. D．Because it makes them more popular at school. 20．What is an additional benefit of wearable health tech? A．It can replace doctors’ check-ups. B．It can make teens’ schoolwork easier. C．It can create a social community for teens. D．It can increase teens’ screen time. 21．What is the structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． Passage6（2025·广东广州·二模） You may know or use Deepseek or Doubao, but what exactly is AI? AI refers to computer systems that are able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Without realizing it, people all over the world use different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology daily, so it has played an important role in our lives. In 1950, Alan Turing came up with the “Turing Test,” which marks the start of AI. Then in 1956, scientists officially made AI a scientific field. Since then, AI has achieved many breakthroughs—IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997; DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016; and OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022. Today, DeepSeek (Hangzhou), a more powerful and user-friendly AI, provides detailed thinking process for people. Today, AI is used worldwide in different ways. In factories, AI does tiring, repeating work instead of human workers to increase production and reduce costs. Some difficult tasks in space are performed by AI to protect astronauts from dangers. In the field of medicine, AI helps doctors scan X-rays, perform operations, and help patients. It seems that AI can take the place of humans in quite a few jobs across different fields. In the future, scientists want AI to use sensor to sense smells, tastes, touches, and sounds, and then reply to certain situations. They also want AI to be able to tell how people are feeling by looking at their expressions or listening to their tones. AI is a technology that is developing fast and changing all the time. It will appear more often in our daily lives. 22．Why is AI so important? A．Because it is able to control computers. B．Because it is smarter than human beings. C．Because it is widely used in our daily life. D．Because it can play chess better than people. 23．What can we learn from the development of AI according to Paragraph 2? A．People considered AI as a science in 1956. B．ChatGPT can do nothing but talk with people. C．Deepseek is the most powerful AI in the world. D．“Deep Blue” beat the other chess players in 1997. 24．What are the advantages of AI in the present? ①To improve astronauts’ safety.   ②To do difficult tasks for workers. ③To increase production and costs.   ④To help doctors to do all the operations. A．①②③④ B．①②③ C．①②④ D．①② 25．What is the writer’s attitude towards AI in the future? A．Uncertain. B．Positive. C．Negative. D．Worried. Passage7（2025·广东肇庆·二模） Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is no longer just a term from science-fiction movies. It has become an important part of our modern world. AI systems are designed to imitate human intelligence. They can analyze large amounts of data (数据), learn from it, and make decisions. For example, virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa use AI to understand our voice commands and help us set reminders, search for information, or play music. In healthcare, AI-based tools can analyze medical records and test results to help doctors diagnose (诊断) diseases more accurately and quickly. DeepSeek is a rising star in the AI field. It is an advanced language model that can answer complex questions, offer creative writing ideas, and even help with coding problems. ▲ With its powerful learning ability, it can communicate with users in a human-like way, making knowledge more accessible to everyone. However, the development of AI also comes with challenges. One major concern is data privacy. Since AIsystems depend on large amounts of data, there is a risk that our personal information might be misused. Besides, as AI becomes more capable (有能力的) , some worry that it could lead to job losses in certain industries. In a word, AI, including tools like DeepSeek, is affecting our lives in many ways. Although it has many advantages, we must also be aware of its risks. By using AI wisely, we can make full use of its benefits and create a better future. 26．Which sentence can be put in ▲ ? A．But it often gives wrong answers on purpose. B．Moreover, it can adapt to different users’ needs. C．However, it refuses to help with schoolwork. D．So it only works on expensive computers. 27．What can we learn from the passage? A．AI will replace humans completely in the future. B．AI doesn't endanger personal data privacy. C．The development of AI may change the job market. D．DeepSeek can only answer simple questions. 28．What is the main idea of the passage? A．DeepSeek is the most important AI tool. B．AI is changing our lives and has both advantages and disadvantages. C．AI is mainly used in healthcare and communication. D．People should stay away from AI because of its risks. 29．The underlined word“imitate” in Paragraph 2 probably means“ ”. A．copy B．avoid C．forget D．improve 30．This passage is most likely to be taken from . A．a fashion magazine B．a science textbook C．a travel guide D．a cooking book Passage8（2025·贵州贵阳·二模） You already know a lot about shapes. You learn about shapes in your math class. Maybe you have learned about polygons (多边形). Polygons are closed shapes. They have more than one side. They have more than one angle (角). But polygons aren’t just in your math class. They are in many places. Look around you. You can see polygons all over. What shape is a slice of pizza? Most slices of pizza are triangles. Triangles are polygons. What makes them polygons? They have three sides and three angles. A pentagon is a polygon. It has five sides and five angles. There is a very big pentagon in Washington, DC． This pentagon is a building called the Pentagon. Hexagons are also polygons. Hexagons have six sides and six angles. Where can you find a hexagon? Just look for bees! When bees make honey, they store it in honeycombs that they build. Each cell (巢室) of a honeycomb is a hexagon. If you see a honeycomb, you will see hexagons. But be careful of the bees! How many sides does an octagon have? An octagon has eight sides. It also has eight angles. You can tell because the word starts with “oct-”. That prefix (前缀) means eight. Octagons have more than one side. They have more than one angle. So they are polygons. You see octagons all the time. Can you guess when? Every time you see a stop sign! Stop signs have eight sides and eight angles. That makes them octagons. 31．Who is the passage written for? A．Artists. B．Parents. C．Students. 32．Why can a slice of pizza be considered as a polygon? A．Because it has three sides. B．Because it has four angles. C．Because it has three sides and three angles. 33．What do we know about a honeycomb according to the passage? a. It is built by bees.  b. It has six-sided cells.   c. It is made up of triangles.  d. It is used to store honey. A．a, b, c B．b, c, d C．a, b, d 34．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． Passage9（2025·江苏苏州·二模） The Importance of Being Earnest (Author: Oscar Wilde) This comedic play by Oscar Wilde takes a sharp look at Victorian social values while following two men—Jack Worthing and Algerno Moncrieff—as they tell lies to bring some excitement to their lives. The Importance of Being Earnest was Wilde’s final play, and some consider it his masterpiece. A Raisin in the Sun (Author: Lorraine Hansberry) The story follows the Youngers, a working-class black family living on the South Side of Chicago who move to an all-white neighborhood and struggling with the unfair treatment. In 1959, Lorraine Hansberry became the first black playwright to get a play produced on Broadway. Frankenstein (Author: Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley) The story was published in 18l8 and introduced readers to Dr Victor Frankenstein, a scientist who brings to life a creature that he put together from the parts of the dead body. Although Dr Frankenstein is frightened by his creation and gives up the plan halfway, the creature manages to educate itself and then seeks a punishment on his creator. The novel explores humanity’s desire for creation and the fear of change it brings. Animal Farm (Author: George Orwell) A group of farm animals fight against their master, Mr Jones, after they realize he is mistreating them and offering them nothing in return for their work. When they challenge the leadership, they are disciplined for speaking out. This classic isn’t about animal rights. It is a larger criticism (批判) of Soviet Communism. Orwell wrote it to protest against Stalinism in Russia. 35．Which book may interest one who is doing a project about black people in the US most? A．The Importance of Being Earnest. B．A Raisin in the Sun. C．Frankenstein. D．Animal Farm. 36．What kind of book is Frankenstein? A．A fairy tale. B．A romantic novel. C．A mystery story.

D．To promote Soviet Communism. Passage10（2025·江苏泰州·二模） In China, a lot of young people are doing great things. Four of them are especially amazing. Jiao Zi is the director of Ne Zha 2. He uses his creativity to make traditional stories come alive. Liang Wenfeng set up DeepSeek. He is exploring new areas in artificial intelligence (AI). Wang Xingxing is the founder of Unitree Tech. He developed the robots for the dance show” Yang BOT”. These robots can not only entertain people but also help with many difficult tasks. They can carry heavy things, be companions, and even take part in rescue work. Feng Ji made China’s first big 3A game, Black Myth: Wukong. This shows that China is getting better at making high-quality games. Their stories are like a colorful painting. They bring new energy and changes to their fields. Thanks to them, China is making progress in technology and culture. As China grows stronger, more young people will follow their examples and make big contributions to technology and culture. These young people are very confident. They know what they want. They aren’t afraid to try new things and face challenges. When they work on something, they give it their all and never give up. They have big dreams and work hard every day to make those dreams come true. They believe that if they keep trying, they can achieve anything. If you have a dream, you should also work hard for it. Take your time and keep trying. Every step you take is important. Don’t be afraid to move forward. If you keep working hard and believe in yourself, you can do great things too. 38．Who developed robots used in the dance performance “Yang BOT”?

A．A science report B．A storybook C．A school newsletter D．A travel guide Passage11（2025·广东揭阳·二模） Have you always thought that kids are smarter than adults? You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a teacher at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills. ________ Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 43．Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things? A． B． C． D． 44．What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Were the same as. B．Did better than. C．Depended on. D．Looked up to. 45．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．For example, children can learn the times table or how to ride a bike. B．Children must pick up a new language earlier. C．Children might find it quicker to solve difficult problems. D．Children fall in love with new environments faster. 46．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Parents should do everything for their kids. B．Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C．Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D．Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. 47．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．New ways to increase GABA levels. B．Different learning methods of kids and adults. C．The reason why kids are better at learning than adults. D．Some suggestions on how to improve our learning abilities. Passage12（2025·广东江门·二模） Animals communicate in amazing ways! Elephants greet each other by waving their ears, and whales chat with clicking sounds. But can they understand other animals’ calls? Scientists say animals don’t have “languages” like humans, but they do share messages. Birds are great examples. Studies show that birds flying long distances use other birds’ sounds to stay safe and find their way. Scientists observed that different kinds of birds often call near each other, suggesting they share information. Some animals even copy others. The fork-tailed drongo (叉尾卷尾), a clever bird in South Africa, follows meerkats (猫鼬) to steal food. At first, drongos scare meerkats with their own alarm calls. But when meerkats figure out what has happened, drongos start copying alarms from other animals—even the meerkats’ own sounds! This keeps the meerkats confused, so drongos keep stealing food. “Drongos are so clever that they can learn to copy different sounds easily, but it’s unclear if they mean to fool others,” said biologist Thomas Flower who has studied these birds for several years. However, he pointed out that young drongos might copy sounds without understanding them at first—just like babies make noises before learning to talk. While animals show smart communication skills, their “languages” remain a mystery. We might never fully understand their “languages”, but every sound we learn about teaches us how everything in nature is connected. 48．What subject is most related to the birds’ behaviours in Paragraph 2? A．Biology and music. B．Biology and geography. C．Physics and music. D．Chemistry and biology. 49．How does the author explain animal communication? A．By comparing animals to humans. B．By listing numbers and explaining the reasons. C．By telling stories about scientists. D．By giving examples of different animals. 50．According to Thomas Flower’s research, which of the following is TRUE? A．Drongos cheat others on purpose from birth. B．Drongos avoid copying meerkats’ alarm calls. C．Young drongos have a talent for following other sounds. D．Young drongos learn sounds only from adult drongos. 51．What does the underlined word “mystery” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Secret. B．Mistake. C．Behaviour. D．Truth. 52．What is the article mainly about? A．The clever ways animals share information. B．The clever ways scientists share information with animals. C．The reason why scientists study animal languages. D．The reason why birds are the smartest animals. Passage13（2025·山东临沂·二模） Chinese calligraphy (书法) is a very important part of traditional Chinese culture. There are many famous calligraphers in history such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personality (性格). Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters and especially refers to the rules of writing with a brush. When you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and spaces between the characters. “If I once lived in China, I must have become a calligrapher rather than a painter,” the world-famous master of art, Picasso, once said after seeing Zhang Daqian write down his name with a calligraphy brush. The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. But there is a popular calligraphy brush that is made from foetal hair (胎毛). No one is really sure where the tradition comes from. But hundreds of years ago in China, people started to believe this kind of calligraphy brush was a symbol of good luck. Practicing calligraphy needs a lot of patience and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to hold a calligraphy brush and how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a professional (专业人员) right away. 53．What can we learn about a calligrapher through his calligraphy works? ① His age.    ② His character.    ③ His background.    ④ His feelings. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ 54．What can we infer (推断) about Picasso from the passage? A．He once lived in China. B．He thought calligraphy was very great. C．He was both a calligrapher and a painter. 55．Why are calligraphy brushes made from foetal hair so popular? A．Because they can help people write more beautiful characters. B．Because they are thought to be a symbol of good luck to those who use them. C．Because they are cheaper than those made from animal hair. 56．What can calligraphy lessons teach us? A．How to hold calligraphy brushes correctly. B．How to create new strokes of Chinese characters. C．How to become a professional as soon as possible. Passage14（2025·内蒙古包头·二模） Noise-canceling headphones (降噪耳机) bring you a quiet world, but using them for too long might be bad for your brain, according to The New York Post. Doctors have seen more young people having “ear problems”. These problems include trouble understanding speech or needing subtitles (字幕) to watch TV. However, their ears are healthy; it’s their brains that are affected. This problem is known as auditory processing disorder (APD). People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them. For our hearing to work well, our brains need to choose which sounds to focus on and which to ignore. We get the skill when we hear different sounds. If we don’t hear different kinds of sounds, we can lose this skill, said NHS doctors. Noise-canceling headphones take away these different sounds, which might be part of the problem. Claire Benton from the British Academy of Audiology said that wearing these headphones creates a “false (虚假的) environment” where you only hear what you want. This makes it easier for your brain, so it doesn’t have to work as hard. Noise travels in. waves through air and water. Noise-canceling headphones stop these waves in two ways: One is to use things like special ear cups. The other is to use a microphone to cancel out noise with opposite sound waves.

Did insects find their way in? Faced with this, some gardeners wish plants could tell them what they need. A new UK project is testing this idea. Next year, an AI-Garden in England will be shown off. It uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and tell gardeners when plants needs care. Gardeners can ask it questions and it might reply with phrases like “I need a bit more water.” or “I could use a haircut.” This magical AI-Garden was created by an AI company called Avende and Microsoft! When it’s ready, there will be smart sensors (传感器) hidden around the garden, like plant “health recorder”. These sensors check soil conditions and can predict things like strong winds or rainstorms. The data they collect is sent to a special “digital brain” (an AI model) in a small glass building at the back of the garden. Just like a super gardener, this AI model analyzes the information and then tell gardeners the best time to fertilize (施肥), water, or cut the plants, keeping plant happy and healthy! Despite (尽管) the challenges ahead, I’m confident that as this AI-Garden keeps improving, it will become a great helper for every gardener. It’s bringing us closer to a future where taking care of gardens is easier and more fun with the help of technology. 61．How does the writer lead to the topic in the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking questions. 62．What does the underlined word “monitor” in Para.2 mean? A．监测 B．威胁 C．利用 63．Which is the job of the sensors in the AI-Garden?

A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Unclear. Passage16（2025·安徽安庆·二模） Top with Trust Which country is the happiest? On March 20, the UN World Happiness Report made a list about this, after studying things like GDP, social support and life expectancy (预期寿命). Finland was once again the world’s happiest country for the eighth year in a row. Finland tops the list for many reasons. First, it is well-known for its strong social support. The government and companies in Finland offer people great support for health, education and many other things. Also, people share this support fairly, as explained by Ilana Ron-Levey, a social science researcher. People in Finland also trust each other. The government shares information honestly, which helps people trust their neighbors and the government, according to Business Finland. John Helliwell, an editor of the World Happiness Report noticed that people in northern European countries return the most lost wallets. “Those are individuals (个人的) caring about the people with whom they live.” What’s more, being close to nature makes them happy. In Finland, people never take a more than 10-minute walk from a park or forest. This greatly improves people’s well-being and even creativity, as reported by Business Finland. Emma Seppala, a Yale lecturer studying in the science of happiness, found that when people stay away from electronic devices, their brains become more active in finding new ways to solve problems. “For people living in Finland, that is what the forest offers,” she told Business Finland. 65．What do we learn about Finland’s social support? A．It comes only from the government. B．Everyone can enjoy it in the same way. C．It is only for improving health and education. D．It helps Finnish (芬兰的) companies be the best in the world. 66．Why do Finnish people trust each other? A．Because of the well-run government and caring people. B．Because of their kind northern European neighbors. C．Because of their healthy development of business. D．Because of their rich and happy lifestyles. 67．According to Emma Seppala, what makes Finnish people happier? A．Their electronic devices are cheaper. B．They love to solve problems. C．Parks or forests are always close by. D．They are encouraged to be creative. 68．How is the passage running? A． B． C． D． Passage17（2025·山东临沂·二模） Imagine this: You jump into a car on a weekend morning, and it takes you to the place you want to go, without needing any directions. When it drops you off, it drives itself back home, so you don’t have to worry about parking. These are what self-driving cars can do. A self-driving car, also called a driverless car, is a car that can sense the environment around it and drive itself. Depending on how advanced (先进的) the car is, it might need different standards (标准) of human help. At the highest standards, a person might not need to control the car at all. But at lower standards, a person might still need to control it sometimes. However, making self-driving cars isn’t simple. According to Wired magazine, it’s a whole system with different parts that need care. Things like road networks (网络) influence it. Although making self-driving cars takes a lot of time and money, the advantages are worth it. For example, self-driving cars could reduce (减少) road accidents. The US government’s data shows that 94 percent of accidents happen because of drivers’ mistakes. Using self-driving cars means spending less money on the payment of medicine, less missed work and fewer car repairs. Besides, these cars could also use less fuel (汽油) and produce less pollution by cutting down on traffic problems and not running when they’re not needed. What’s more, these cars can give more freedom to disabled people. Many big companies such as Baidu and Tesla are making self-driving cars. Wired magazine said this technology could add $7 trillion (more than 49 trillion yuan) to the world economy (经济) soon. Goldman Sachs, a global bank, said self-driving cars could make up 10 percent of new car sales by 2030. Anyway, be open to new things and welcome their coming! 69．What can a self-driving car do according to the first paragraph? A．It can drive people to the place without directions and return by itself. B．It can teach people how to park in a proper place. C．It can help people plan the best route to save time. 70．What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The standards of self-driving cars. B．The advantages of self-driving cars. C．The problems of making self-driving cars. 71．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Only Baidu and Tesla are working on self-driving technology. B．Self-driving cars will take the place of traditional cars completely. C．The development of self-driving cars can help economic grow. 72．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．The History of Making Cars. B．The Development of Self-Driving Cars. C．The Big Companies of Making Cars. Passage18（2025·云南昭通·二模） ① In the morning, when you wake up, you turn on the lights. You can hear your mom preparing a shake in the blender. And in the room next door, your dad turns on the washing machine. Every time someone turns on an electrical appliance (电器), he or she leaves a mark. This is called an electricity carbon footprint. ② In the modern world, we cannot live without electricity. We use the electricity carbon footprint to show the influence on the environment. The size of our electricity carbon footprint is closely related to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions (排放). ③ But what is the relationship between greenhouse gases and electrical appliances? Well, about 65% of the world’s electricity is made from fossil fuels (like coal, oil and natural gas). Burning fossil fuels produces plenty of greenhouse gases. This causes the Earth to warm up rapidly, leading to climate change. As a result, many natural disasters appear. ④ Actually, we can help protect the environment by reducing our electricity carbon footprint. Firstly, use electrical appliances that save electrical energy. For example, ask our family if we can use LED lights instead. Secondly, we can use the energy that comes from nature, such as wind power. Thirdly, remember to unplug (拔掉……的电源插头) the electronic devices that are not being used. Besides, turn off the lights when we leave a room. What’s more, avoid using air conditioners. We can use portable (便携式的) fans. Last but not least, it’s necessary to spread the importance of saving electricity. Speak to people around us directly or post something on social media. Call on more people to take action in their daily lives. 73．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving examples. C．By asking questions. D．By explaining reasons. 74．What is used to show the influence of electricity on the environment? A．The electricity carbon footprint. B．The amount of fossil fuels. C．The use of electrical appliances.

Recently, a Chinese company called DeepSeek surprised the world by sharing its new AI technology—the R1 model—for free. This has made people discuss more about “open-source” (开源代码) and “closed-source” (闭源代码) AI models. For example, Baidu, another big tech company, said it would share its AI model “Ernie Bot” from June 30th. This is a big change because Baidu used to keep its technology secret. ▲ Sharing AI models benefits everyone. First, it makes it easier for small companies and students to learn and create new things. Imagine if your school suddenly gave everyone free science tools—more students could do cool experiments! Second, China is very good at producing things like phones, cars, and robots. By using shared open-source AI models, factories can become smarter. For example, machines can learn to fix themselves before breaking down and Al cameras can check items faster than humans. What’s more, computers that learn from data (数据) can make production smarter. What Do Experts Say? More people now care about open-source AI because China is making big progress in this field. The world is watching China’s AI progress closely. At a global AI meeting in Paris, Eric Schmidt, former (前) Google CEO) warned, “If Western countries don’t develop open-source AI, China might win the global AI competition.” DeepSeek’s Success DeepSeek’s RI model shows how powerful shared AI model can be. It works like a super-smart assistant that helps scientists solve difficult problems. Many people think this success proves that sharing helps technology grow faster. Just like how sharing homework answers helps the whole class improve, sharing AI models helps everyone build a smarter future. 78．What did Baidu decide to do on June 30th? A．To stop using its AI “Ernie Bot”. B．To share its “Ernie Bot” for free. C．To build more smarter factories.

Passage20（2025·山东青岛·二模） In November 2024, a sign language learning app named ArtfulSign won first prize in a competition in Hangzhou. The app was developed by three university students with hearing problems: Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong. It helps common people learn sign language, making them able to communicate with those who have hearing problems. ArtfulSign uses AI models in sign language teaching. Each sign language word is shown through real-person video examples. After learning, users can open the camera, and the app will check and assess (评估) their sign language gestures. AI-powered machine learning helps learners know right away if they are performing correctly, which makes learning more fun. Among the three, 25-year-old Zhao Yuan is the leader. She also works on building and training the AI model, which is the most difficult part of the work. To help the AI recognize sign language signs better, they need to train it with nearly 1,000 videos for each sign language gesture. However, because there aren’t enough videos to use, they have to film them themselves. So far, the ArtfulSign team has made thousands of sign language videos. Zhao Yuan and the other two have spent six months developing ArtfulSign and are still working to improve it. They plan to put the app on the Apple App Store soon. We hope that one day ArtfulSign will be widely used, so that both people with hearing problems and common people can use sign language, she said. 83．What is the main purpose of the ArtfulSign app? A．To help people with hearing problems learn to speak. B．To teach common people how to perform in front of a camera. C．To help common people communicate with those who have hearing problems. D．To provide entertainment through sign language videos. 84．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．The developers of the app. B．The way the app works. C．The problem with the app. D．The time spent developing the app. 85．Why do the students have to film the videos themselves? A．They need to save money. B．There are not enough videos to use. C．They want to use their own style of sign language. D．They want to include famous sign language performers. 86．What is the future plan for the ArtfulSign app? A．To make it available on the Apple App Store. B．To create more sign language videos. C．To teach sign language in schools. D．To develop a similar app for other languages. 87．In which part of a newspaper can we read the passage? A．LIFESTYLE. B．ANIMALS. C．TRAVEL. D．INVENTIONS. Passage21（2025·湖北襄阳·二模） ①How do you deal with your baby teeth? Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. ②After a child loses his baby tooth in Greece, he makes a wish for a strong and healthy adult tooth while throwing his broken baby tooth onto the roof (屋顶). He tries to throw the tooth as straight as possible, hoping that a straight strong tooth will grow in its place. Children in China and Singapore also follow the same practice. ③But this isn’t the only way the fallen tooth is treated around the world. In parts of Africa, children throw lost upper (上面的) teeth on the roof and bury (埋) lost lower teeth in the ground. But in East Asia, it’s the opposite: lower teeth go on the roof and upper teeth are buried or hidden under the bed. In some mid-eastern countries such as Iraq and Egypt, kids are encouraged to throw their teeth up towards the sky. ④But do you know one of the most common ways to deal with it? Kids give the tooth to a mouse to make the adult tooth as strong as the mouse’s. They usually make a wish or sing a song during the ceremony. This happens in many places like Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand. ⑤In fact, kids in Argentina leave their tooth in a glass for a magical mouse who will bring a treasure while they sleep. In France and Switzerland, there’s a La Petit Souris (little mouse) that takes the thrown-away baby teeth for money or candy. In South Africa, the tooth is left in a slipper for the “tooth mouse”, who leaves a gift behind. How interesting it is! ⑥This is not all. In some places, the tooth is often kept at home and in some others, it is just thrown away. In modern times, parents are also storing their children’s baby teeth to keep stem cells (干细胞) for some medical research later in life. 88．To draw readers’ attention, the writer started the passage by ________. A．listing the facts. B．asking a question C．giving an example D．showing a reason 89．What are Chinese kids supposed to do with their fallen teeth? A．Hide them under the bed. B．Throw them into the air. C．Throw them onto the roof. D．Bury them in the ground. 90．A kid hid his lost upper tooth under the bed, he probably comes from ________. A．Korea B．Africa C．France D．Russia 91．Kids in Mexico offer the fallen tooth to a mouse to ________. A．have candy in return B．get a magical skill C．feed the hungry mouse D．expect a strong tooth 92．What’s the correct structure of the passage? A．B．C． D． Passage22（2025·辽宁阜新·二模） In many cases, you may find yourself or somebody faking (假笑) a smile in photos. Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos? Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle (肌肉) movements. When we smile, we lift our mouth upwards and cause the skin around our eyes to gather into folds. These muscle movements are usually absent in the case of a forced smile, especially when the smile is small. Our brains are highly skilled at distinguishing (辨别) the differences in muscle movements. That’s why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard, discovering it on someone else is a piece of cake. One of the most common reasons why you look unnatural in photos is an increased awareness (意识) of your appearance. The worry about posture, hair, and makeup can add to the stress, killing the chances of a real smile. A smile looks best when it comes naturally. Warm and welcoming smiles come along with warm and welcoming body language, but when you’re in front of the camera, trying too hard to perform can make your body language appear stiff (僵硬的) and far from welcome. Besides, facial expressions are not always understood in the same way. A smile can mean differently in different cultures. For example, a wide smile that seems welcoming to some may appear fake and dishonest. This may also influence how people feel about your smile in photos. However, we shouldn’t let this trouble us too much. So, if you want to smile naturally before the camera, perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy. Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read… that should work! 93．What is a real smile connected with? A．Personal characters. B．Educational backgrounds. C．Muscle movements. D．Professional achievements. 94．What does the underlined word “a piece of cake” mean in paragraph 2? A．Something that is very difficult to do. B．Something that is very easy to do. C．Something that is very terrible to eat. D．Something that is very delicious to eat. 95．How to smile naturally according to the writer? A．Recalling a strange story. B．Practicing smiles in the mirror. C．Improving your expression abilities. D．Thinking of a humorous moment. 96．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How can we turn the fake into the real? B．How can we fake a real smile? C．Why is it hard to smile naturally in photos? D．What is needed to take good photos? Passage23（2025·浙江杭州·二模） The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is doing something really cool. They are testing tiny cameras that patients can actually swallow (吞) to get checked for cancer (癌症). Cancer is a terrible disease. The earlier cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. So, the NHS invites people who might be at risk of certain cancers to have a check once or twice a year. Usually, people need to go to the hospital for the checks. These special cameras are called PillCams. Why? Because they are put in a small capsule (胶囊) that’s easy to swallow, just like taking a kind of medicine. The capsule also has a tiny light. As it travels through the body, it takes pictures of the patient’s bowel (肠). The pictures are sent to a small device (装置) in a bag that the patient wears. After the camera finishes its job, the patient returns the bag to the hospital. Then, doctors can look at the photos carefully to see if there are any problems. The whole process takes 5 to 8 hours, and during this time, the patient can still go about their normal day, doing things like going to work or doing simple housework. This amazing technology has already been tried in Scotland. Now, it’s being tested on 11,000 patients all over the UK, including England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sir Simon Stevens, who is in charge of the NHS in England, said, “What seemed like something from a science fiction movie is now becoming real. These small cameras take two pictures every second as they move through your body, looking for signs of cancer and other health problems.” It’s so exciting to think about how this new technology can help more people stay healthy! 97．What cool thing is the National Health Service doing? A．They are searching a new kind of medicine. B．They are describing the risk of many diseases. C．They are testing special cameras to check cancer. D．They are asking people to buy some special cameras. 98．How does PillCams send pictures to the doctors according to the text? A．Patients themselves take the capsule back to the hospital. B．Patients return the special bag with pictures to the hospital. C．Doctors come to the patient’s home to get the pictures. D．The pictures are sent directly to the hospital’s computer. 99．In which part of the UK has the PillCam technology been tested first? A．In England. B．In Wales. C．In Scotland. D．In Northern Ireland. 100．What can we learn from the text? A．The PillCam technology can help more people keep healthy. B．The PillCam technology is from a science fiction movie. C．The PillCam technology can control all kinds of diseases. D．The PillCam technology can make the cameras work fast. Passage24（2025·山东滨州·二模） The animated film Ne Zha 2, came out on January 29, 2025, has become a huge success in the film industry. Directed by the famous Jiaozi (Yang Yu), it continues the exciting story of Ne Zha and Ao Bing from the first movie. After a terrible disaster called the “Heavenly Tribulation (天劫),” Ne Zha and Ao Bing lost their physical (肉体的) bodies. Their souls were in great danger until Taiyi Zhenren, a wise old man from Chinese myth story (神话故事) , saved them using a magical seven-colored lotus (莲花) . However, peace did not last long. Their souls began to disappear again, making Taiyi Zhenren face a difficult task-rebuilding their bodies with limited materials while solving unexpected problems. The film shows great character growth. Ne Zha, once known for his rebellious nature (叛逆的天性), learns to care deeply for his friends and understand his true self.

It has been used for celebrations, special events, storytelling, and expressing emotions. But the true value of music is something we often don’t notice, even though it continuously presents in our lives. Studies show that music is not just a source of entertainment; it actually influences our physical and emotional well-being. Music influences us in many ways, from improving our mood to helping our memory. Research has proven that listening to music can reduce stress by lowering blood pressure and heart beats. For example, soft music is often used in hospitals to help patients feel relaxed. Meanwhile, fast songs are played during workouts to increase motivation and energy. Music has the power to change how we feel, encouraging happiness, inspiration, and even deep reflection. Moreover, music is known to improve cognitive functions (认知功能). Many students find that listening to music while studying helps them focus better and remember information. Studies also suggest that learning to play an instrument improves skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and body control. Music helps build new connections in the brain, making it better al dealing with hard information. Additionally, music treatment is now widely used to support mental health, helping people deal with worry, sadness, and painful memories in a safe, comforting way. Yet, not everyone realizes how deeply music shapes their daily lives. In a world full of noise, we often neglect the unbelievable effects of music on our emotional health. We forget that music is more than a background sound; it is a powerful tool for growth. Its sounds connect people across cultures and generations, providing a universal language that speaks directly to the heart. As much as music brings comfort and joy, it also teaches us about balance. Too much exposure (暴露) to loud or wild music can cause stress, harm our cars, and even influence our sleep. Therefore, just like with light and darkness, we must learn to appreciate (欣赏) music wisely, using it to improve our well-being instead of flooding our senses. Music is a gift that has always been with us, waiting to be truly appreciated. When we understand its power and use it mindfully, we can unlock new levels of creativity, peace, and connection. And in doing so, we rediscover what it truly means to be human. 106．What can we learn from the passage? A．Music lessons should be taught more in classes. B．Listening to music can help people exercise longer. C．Music helps people connect and grow in many ways. D．Learning to play instruments can increase motivation. 107．What does the word “neglect” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A．Look up to. B．Fail to notice. C．Examine carefully. D．Pay attention to. 108．What is the passage mainly about? A．Music offers various ways to express ideas. B．Music improves students’ school performance. C．Music requires a quiet environment for best listening. D．Music influences how people think, learn, and interact. Passage26（2025·广东惠州·二模） ①Plants have roots, leaves, and flowers. They have seeds, too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. Some seeds don’t. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow in this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them may die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. So these seeds can grow in new places. There are many different ways of the seeds’ travel. ②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows, the seeds can fly far away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll (滚动) along the ground, dropping off their seeds at the same time. ③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop. ④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How can they do that? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too. ⑤Seeds can’t walk. They can’t run, either. But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals. 109．What will happen if new plants are crowded? A．Some of them will travel. B．Some of them will die. C．Some of them can grow taller. D．Some of them can live better. 110．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Wings. B．Seeds. C．Plants. D．Birds. 111．What can help the seeds to travel according to the text? A．Leaves, roots and flowers. B．Birds, stickers and wings. C．Wind, water and other plants. D．Animals, water and wind. 112．What’s the structure of the passage? A．B． C． D． 113．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．The Growth of the Plants B．The Kinds of the Seeds C．The Parts of the Plants D．The Travel of the Seeds Passage27（2025·福建厦门·二模） Most people use one hand more than the other, like being right-handed or left-handed. Surprisingly, elephants also have a preferred side for using their trunks! German scientists studied this by watching Asian and African elephants in zoos and wildlife parks. They spent months recording how elephants used their trunks to pick up food, drink water, and play with objects. How did they discover an elephant’s “favorite side”? The answer lies in the wrinkles (皱纹) on their trunks. The team discovered that the wrinkles on an elephant’s trunk are not the same on both sides. For example, some elephants are left-trunkers. These elephants pick up objects towards the left side of their bodies. So, their trunks have more wrinkles on the left side. Interestingly, Asian and African elephants showed differences. Asian elephants’ trunks have more wrinkles than African elephants’. More wrinkles make trunks more flexible, similar to how folds in an accordion (手风琴) work. This might explain why Asian elephants’ trunks bend (弯曲) more easily. Another key difference is the end of the trunk. African elephants have two finger-like parts at the trunk’s end, allowing them to scoop objects like humans using two fingers. Asian elephants, however, have only one “finger”, so they depend on their highly wrinkled trunks to lift up things. Why do these differences matter? Scientists believe Asian elephants need more wrinkles to help them collect food in the forests where they live, while African elephants’ double “fingers” work better for getting objects in open grasslands. This study shows how animals’ bodies get used to their environments.

It is just one of the animals that have been listed as extinct (灭绝) or locally extinct in recent years. But the development of technology could mean that the extinction of other animals is not likely to take place. A huge challenge scientists face is watching endangered animals in order to help them. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a turning point in the way information on these animals is collected and studied. The Maui dolphin is one of the most valuable and endangered dolphins in the ocean. With a collection of their summer behavior facts, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mysterious animals living off the coast of New Zealand. However, because of weather conditions, researchers know almost nothing about their winter behavior. After four years of developing and testing, these scientists were able to use a drone (无人机) with AI to watch the dolphins no matter the season. The result was more wild areas provided for them to live. In Zambia’s Kafue National Park, home to more than 6,000 elephants, AI is being used to improve traditional methods of preventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park. AI immediately notices this activity and warns park guards, who deal with the hunters. In Brazil, AI quickly studied over 150,000 satellite pictures, discovering that the world’s largest wetland has lost 74 percent of its surface water. Not until that discoveries did governments realize how serious the situation was. The use of AI has helped to speed action and increase our ability to protect the natural world for the future to come. 119．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing opinions. C．By giving an example. 120．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．When AI can help. B．Why AI can help. C．Where AI can help. 121．What happened when AI was used in Brazil? A．Governments began to know it was a big trouble. B．More wild areas were provided as endangered animals' home. C．The world’s largest wetland has lost 74 percent of its surface water. 122．What can we infer (推断) from the text? A．Nature is safer with the help of AI. B．AI can help scientists in different fields. C．AI will be an important technology in the future. Passage29（2025·吉林长春·二模） ①The Old Man and the Sea is a short novel written by the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. He uses simple language to talk about the deeper meanings of life. After reading the book, I always think about our personal values and staying strong when facing life’s challenges. ②The book is about an old fisherman in Cuba named Santiago. He catches a huge fish after 84 days of nothing. The fish pulls his boat on the sea for two days and two nights. Then, suddenly, the old man meets a shark. They fight to the death, but the big fish is still eaten by the shark. ③The old man goes home with only the bones of the fish. What moved me the most is how Santiago fights with the shark. When fighting against the shark, the old man has many heartfelt conversations with himself. These conversations show how he encourages himself to overcome all the difficulties. ④Although Santiago could not protect the fish at last, I think he tries his best to protect his pride. Faced with a long period of failure and being alone, he does not choose to give up, but believes in himself and challenges the sea. ⑤The story shows us that even if we fail, our hard work still matters. Santiago never gives up. His love for life and his excitement for new adventures (冒险经历) give us hope. Like Santiago, we all face challenges in life. If we remain brave, hopeful and unafraid of failure, we can find our meaning in life. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 123．Where does the old fisherman Santiago come from? A．Cuba. B．The US. C．Russia.

It aims to help people manage their weight and live healthier lives. 6 Why is obesity (肥胖) a problem? Being overweight is not just about good looking. It can also cause serious health problems. Studies show that by 2030, 70.5% of adults and 31.8% of children could be overweight. If people do not act now, they may face serious health problems at a younger age. 7 Doctors use Body Mass Index (BMI,体重指数) to check if someone’s weight is healthy. It is a measure (测量方法) that uses your height and weight to work out if you are fit. For Chinese teenagers, a BMI between 15 and 22 is healthy. However, a BMI of 23 means overweight, and over 26 means obesity. What should we do to keep healthy? Keeping healthy habits is the most important thing. First, people should eat properly. It is wise to choose brown rice, fresh vegetables and fruit, fish and chicken for meat most of the time. 8 Experts suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate (中等的) exercise per week, like running, cycling, or swimming. How can society help? 9 Some schools hold sports meetings and set up more sports clubs. Some cities have weight control programs in hospitals. These programs give advice on food choice, exercise, and weight loss. Remember, small changes make a big difference. Let’s work together to build a healthier and happier China!

Understanding the truth behind these ideas helps us make better food choices and stay healthy. Let’s explore four facts. The human body needs to eat many different types of food to stay healthy. The Chinese Food Guide Pagoda (中国食品指南塔) shows us what food we should eat. While fruit and vegetables are healthy choices, it is just as important to eat foods from other food groups. Milk, for example, has many nutrients (营养) and is good for our bones. We should include milk or dairy products among the things we eat. “Eating fat makes you fat.” Eating fat is important for keeping us healthy. It gives us energy and helps our body to take in nutrients. Not all fat makes us gain weight. Some fat can even encourage our body to lose weight. For example, fats in foods like nuts are good for your heart and help your body use energy better. It is necessary to include some, but not too much, fat in our food to help our body work well. “It’s OK to eat only what I like while I’m young.” When we are young, it might feel like we can just eat whatever we want! For example, sweets and fried foods taste delicious. But we cannot eat those foods alone. Having a balanced (均衡的) eating habits is very important when we are young. It helps our body and brain to grow well. Bad eating habits may stay with us our whole life, so it is best to develop good eating habits when we are young! “What you want to eat means what you need.” Sometimes, our body wants certain foods because it needs the nutrients in them. But often, we just want foods because we like how they taste, not because our body needs them. For example, we might want candy, but our body doesn’t really need that sugar. It’s good to eat different kinds of foods, like fruits, vegetables and grains, to make sure we get all the nutrients we need. Just eating what we want can make us miss out on important vitamins and minerals. 10．What does the underlined word “myths” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．true facts B．old stories            C．wrong ideas     D．science rules 11．Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank “________”? A．“Only fruit and vegetables are healthy foods.” B．“Drinking milk every day is good for our bones.” C．“Snacks and drinks are just as healthy as fruits and vegetables.” D．“You don’t need to eat fruits or vegetables a lot to stay healthy.” 12．What are the four facts in common? A．They all show the influence of eating fruits and vegetables. B．They all discuss how to avoid getting fat and missing nutrients. C．They all explain why eating only one type of food is unhealthy. D．They all use examples to show the importance of balanced eating. 13．What is the purpose of the text? A．To encourage people to stop eating sweet and fried food. B．To explain why food can help our body use energy better. C．To correct food myths and develop balanced eating habits. D．To advise people to follow the Chinese Food Guide Pagoda. 【答案】10．C 11．A 12．D 13．C 【导语】本文通过纠正一些关于饮食的错误观点，倡导均衡饮食。 10．词义猜测题。根据“Many food myths about healthy eating lead us to make poor choices.”可知，许多关于健康饮食的错误观念导致我们做出不正确的选择。因此“myths”与“wrong ideas”语义相近。故选C。 11．推理判断题。根据“While fruit and vegetables are healthy choices, it is just as important to eat foods from other food groups.”可知，空处强调水果和蔬菜的重要性。选项A“只有水果和蔬菜才是健康的食物。”适合置于空处。故选A。 12．细节理解题。根据“Milk, for example, has many nutrients (营养) and is good for our bones.”、“For example, fats in foods like nuts are good for your heart and help your body use energy better.”、“For example, sweets and fried foods taste delicious.”以及“For example, we might want candy, but our body doesn’t really need that sugar.”可知，这四个事实的共同点是都用例子来说明均衡饮食的重要性。故选D。 13．主旨大意题。本文通过纠正一些关于饮食的错误观点，倡导均衡饮食。故选C。 Passage4（2025·浙江·二模） Imagine you taking a pleasant walk down the street on a Sunday morning. The sky turns dark and suddenly it starts to rain heavily. Unluckily, you don’t have an umbrella with you. It will take you at least fifteen minutes to walk home. If you choose to run, that will cut the time in half. Which one would you choose? Some people believe that they should run home. It makes good sense: The less time you spend out in the rain, the less wet you will get. Others think that if they run, they will hit the raindrops with greater speed and get more of the water. When they walk, on the other hand, they will hit the water slower and get less of it. So, which view is correct? Over the years, scientists have done many different experiments to answer this question. All of them have found the same answer. In order to get less wet without an umbrella, one must move as fast as possible in the rain. In one of these experiments, for example, two people set out together in heavy rain. Both of them wore the same cotton sweaters. One person ran to the end of a 100-meter path, while the other walked there. Then, they each weighed their sweaters. The walker’s sweater weighed 40 percent more than the runner’s. Clearly, the walker had got more water on the way. If you’re interested, you can do a simple experiment with a friend. Prepare two sponges (海绵) in your schoolbag. When it rains, you two can each take one sponge. Stick your sponges out of your umbrellas so that they can get the rain. Have your friend run to the end of a path and you walk there. Then, squeeze (挤压) the water out of each sponge. Which of you will collect more water? Hope to hear the results of your experiment soon! 14．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By sharing an unlucky story about rain experiments. B．By presenting a common situation and a question. C．By describing a personal experience on a rainy day. D．By explaining the science behind rain and movement. 15．What may influence people’s view on getting less wet according to Paragraph 2? ①The type of shoes they have on. ②The amount of time spent in the rain. ③The direction of the wind during the rain. ④The speed of a person’s movement through the rain. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 16．What can we know from the experiment in Paragraph 3? A．Running in the rain makes you completely dry. B．Moving faster in the rain helps you get less wet. C．Cotton sweaters are the best choice for rainy days. D．The walker’s sweater got less water than the runner’s. 17．What can be the best name for the experiment according to Paragraph 4? A．The Sponge Water Challenge. B．Testing Speed and Power of Rain. C．Rainy Day Science: Sponges vs Umbrellas. D．Run or Walk: Who Stays Drier in the Rain?. 【答案】14．B 15．C 16．B 17．D 【导语】本文通过生活场景和科学实验探讨了“在雨中跑或走哪种方式淋雨更少”的问题，并通过实验结果证明快速移动能有效减少淋雨量。 14．推理判断题。根据“Imagine you taking a pleasant walk down the street on a Sunday morning. The sky turns dark and suddenly it starts to rain heavily…If you choose to run, that will cut the time in half. Which one would you choose?”可知，作者是通过描述一个常见情景（雨天没带伞）和提出问题（该跑还是走）来引入话题的。故选B。 15．细节理解题。文章第二段“The less time you spend out in the rain, the less wet you will get”对应②；“if they run, they will hit the raindrops with greater speed”对应④。文中未提及鞋子类型和风向的影响，故排除①③。故选C。 16．细节理解题。根据“the walker’s sweater weighed 40 percent more than the runner’s”和“one must move as fast as possible in the rain”可知，跑得更快能减少淋雨量。故选B。 17．推理判断题。根据“Have your friend run to the end of a path and you walk there. Then, squeeze (挤压) the water out of each sponge. Which of you will collect more water? Hope to hear the results of your experiment soon!”可知，实验核心是比较跑步和步行哪种方式淋雨更少。D项“跑还是走：谁在雨中更干燥？”最贴合实验目的。故选D。 Passage5（2025·江苏扬州·二模） Wearable Health Tech for Teens In recent years, wearable health technology has become popular among teenagers. These devices, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers (追踪器), offer a series of features that can help teens monitor (监视) and improve their health. One of the key benefits of wearable health tech for teens is the ability to track physical activity. Most fitness trackers can count steps, measure distance traveled, and monitor the number of calories burned. This information encourages teens to be more active and set fitness goals. For example, if a teen sees that they haven’t reached their daily step goal, they may be motivated to go for a walk or play a sport. Some devices even have built-in GPS, allowing teens to accurately (精确地) track their running or cycling routes. Wearable tech also helps with sleep monitoring. Many smartwatches can detect the different stages of sleep, such as deep sleep, light sleep, and REM sleep. By analyzing this data, teens can understand their sleep habits better. If they notice that they are not getting enough deep sleep, they can make adjustments (调整) to their bedtime routine, like going to bed earlier or avoiding screens before sleep. This is especially important for teens, as proper sleep is crucial for their physical and mental development. In addition, some wearable devices can monitor important signs such as heart rate and blood pressure. This is useful for teens with certain health conditions or those who want to keep an eye on their overall health. For example, if a teen’s heart rate suddenly spikes (迅速上升) during exercise, the device can warn them, and they can take proper action. Moreover, wearable health tech can be integrated with mobile apps, creating a community for teens. They can share their fitness achievements, compete with friends, and get motivation (动力) and support. This social aspect makes the experience of using these devices more attractive and fun for teens. 18．How can fitness trackers encourage teens to be more active? A．By showing their social media posts. B．By counting steps and setting goals. C．By playing music during exercise. D．By taking pictures of their workouts. 19．Why is sleep monitoring important for teens? A．Because it helps them stay up late. B．Because it can replace their alarm clocks. C．Because proper sleep is important for their development. D．Because it makes them more popular at school. 20．What is an additional benefit of wearable health tech? A．It can replace doctors’ check-ups. B．It can make teens’ schoolwork easier.

It has become an important part of our modern world. AI systems are designed to imitate human intelligence. They can analyze large amounts of data (数据), learn from it, and make decisions. For example, virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa use AI to understand our voice commands and help us set reminders, search for information, or play music. In healthcare, AI-based tools can analyze medical records and test results to help doctors diagnose (诊断) diseases more accurately and quickly. DeepSeek is a rising star in the AI field. It is an advanced language model that can answer complex questions, offer creative writing ideas, and even help with coding problems. ▲ With its powerful learning ability, it can communicate with users in a human-like way, making knowledge more accessible to everyone. However, the development of AI also comes with challenges. One major concern is data privacy. Since AIsystems depend on large amounts of data, there is a risk that our personal information might be misused. Besides, as AI becomes more capable (有能力的) , some worry that it could lead to job losses in certain industries. In a word, AI, including tools like DeepSeek, is affecting our lives in many ways. Although it has many advantages, we must also be aware of its risks. By using AI wisely, we can make full use of its benefits and create a better future. 26．Which sentence can be put in ▲ ?

You learn about shapes in your math class. Maybe you have learned about polygons (多边形). Polygons are closed shapes. They have more than one side. They have more than one angle (角). But polygons aren’t just in your math class. They are in many places. Look around you. You can see polygons all over. What shape is a slice of pizza? Most slices of pizza are triangles. Triangles are polygons. What makes them polygons? They have three sides and three angles. A pentagon is a polygon. It has five sides and five angles. There is a very big pentagon in Washington, DC． This pentagon is a building called the Pentagon. Hexagons are also polygons. Hexagons have six sides and six angles. Where can you find a hexagon? Just look for bees! When bees make honey, they store it in honeycombs that they build. Each cell (巢室) of a honeycomb is a hexagon. If you see a honeycomb, you will see hexagons. But be careful of the bees! How many sides does an octagon have? An octagon has eight sides. It also has eight angles. You can tell because the word starts with “oct-”. That prefix (前缀) means eight. Octagons have more than one side. They have more than one angle. So they are polygons. You see octagons all the time. Can you guess when? Every time you see a stop sign! Stop signs have eight sides and eight angles. That makes them octagons. 31．Who is the passage written for? A．Artists. B．Parents. C．Students. 32．Why can a slice of pizza be considered as a polygon?

You’d be right—at least when it comes to learning new things. New research shows that kids do get new knowledge and learn new skills faster than grown-ups. It all comes down to something in the brain called GABA, which helps newly learned material stick in the brain. Researchers have found GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children of primary school age while they are learning new tasks or information. However, GABA levels in the brains of adults, aged 18 to 35, don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information. “Our results show that children of primary school age can learn more within a given period of time than adults,” said Takeo Watanabe, a teacher at Brown University in the US. Dr Sebastian Frank, from the University of Regensburg in Germany, said their findings agreed with the common opinion that children outperformed adults in their learning abilities. “GABA plays a key role in making learning efficient (效率高的),” added Dr Frank. The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills. ________ Professor Watanabe said the findings could also be used to help adults learn more efficiently. “For example, a new technology or therapy (疗法) could be developed to increase the level of GABA in the brains of adults.” 43．Which shows the changes of children’s and adults’ GABA levels when they learn new things? A． B． C． D． 44．What does the underlined word “outperformed” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Were the same as. B．Did better than. C．Depended on. D．Looked up to. 45．Which of the following can be put in “________”? A．For example, children can learn the times table or how to ride a bike. B．Children must pick up a new language earlier. C．Children might find it quicker to solve difficult problems. D．Children fall in love with new environments faster. 46．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Parents should do everything for their kids. B．Children should learn to ride a bike as early as possible. C．Adults can learn more rapidly because of their wide experience. D．Children should be given more chances to learn new skills. 47．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．New ways to increase GABA levels. B．Different learning methods of kids and adults. C．The reason why kids are better at learning than adults. D．Some suggestions on how to improve our learning abilities. 【答案】43．A 44．B 45．A 46．D 47．C 【导语】本文围绕儿童和成人学习新事物的能力展开，通过介绍大脑中GABA物质在学习中的作用，说明儿童学习新知识、技能比成人更快的原因，还提及该研究对教师、家长及帮助成人学习的启示。 43．细节理解题。根据“GABA levels increase rapidly in the brains of children...However, GABA levels in the brains of adults...don’t change during or after lessons in new tasks and information.”可知，儿童学习新事物时GABA水平快速上升，成人学习时GABA水平无变化。故选A。 44．词句猜测题。根据“their findings agreed with the common opinion”并结合前文可知，前文提到儿童学习新知识比成人快，可推测outperformed意为“表现得比……好；做得比……好”。故选B。 45．推理判断题。根据“researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills”可知，研究人员建议老师和家长应给孩子尽可能多的机会发展新技能。A选项“例如，孩子可以学习乘法表或如何骑自行车”是对给孩子机会发展新技能的举例，符合语境。故选A。 46．细节理解题。根据“The researchers suggested teachers and parents should give children as many chances as possible to develop new skills.”可知，研究人员建议老师和家长应给孩子尽可能多的机会学习新技能，D选项“应该给孩子更多学习新技能的机会”与之相符。故选D。 47．主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章主要讲新研究表明孩子学习新事物比成人快，原因在于大脑中GABA物质，即孩子比成人更擅长学习的原因。故选C。 Passage12（2025·广东江门·二模） Animals communicate in amazing ways! Elephants greet each other by waving their ears, and whales chat with clicking sounds. But can they understand other animals’ calls? Scientists say animals don’t have “languages” like humans, but they do share messages. Birds are great examples. Studies show that birds flying long distances use other birds’ sounds to stay safe and find their way. Scientists observed that different kinds of birds often call near each other, suggesting they share information. Some animals even copy others. The fork-tailed drongo (叉尾卷尾), a clever bird in South Africa, follows meerkats (猫鼬) to steal food. At first, drongos scare meerkats with their own alarm calls. But when meerkats figure out what has happened, drongos start copying alarms from other animals—even the meerkats’ own sounds! This keeps the meerkats confused, so drongos keep stealing food. “Drongos are so clever that they can learn to copy different sounds easily, but it’s unclear if they mean to fool others,” said biologist Thomas Flower who has studied these birds for several years. However, he pointed out that young drongos might copy sounds without understanding them at first—just like babies make noises before learning to talk. While animals show smart communication skills, their “languages” remain a mystery. We might never fully understand their “languages”, but every sound we learn about teaches us how everything in nature is connected. 48．What subject is most related to the birds’ behaviours in Paragraph 2? A．Biology and music. B．Biology and geography. C．Physics and music. D．Chemistry and biology. 49．How does the author explain animal communication? A．By comparing animals to humans. B．By listing numbers and explaining the reasons. C．By telling stories about scientists. D．By giving examples of different animals. 50．According to Thomas Flower’s research, which of the following is TRUE? A．Drongos cheat others on purpose from birth. B．Drongos avoid copying meerkats’ alarm calls. C．Young drongos have a talent for following other sounds. D．Young drongos learn sounds only from adult drongos. 51．What does the underlined word “mystery” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Secret. B．Mistake. C．Behaviour. D．Truth. 52．What is the article mainly about? A．The clever ways animals share information. B．The clever ways scientists share information with animals. C．The reason why scientists study animal languages. D．The reason why birds are the smartest animals. 【答案】48．B 49．D 50．C 51．A 52．A 【导语】本文探讨动物通过声音交流的智慧行为，列举鸟类利用其他物种叫声导航、叉尾卷尾鸟模仿多种警报声欺骗猫鼬等例子，指出动物虽无人类语言系统，但其交流方式展现自然界的紧密联系，且其语言本质仍是未解之谜。 48．推理判断题。根据第二段“Studies show that birds flying long distances use other birds’ sounds to stay safe and find their way. ”可知，鸟类迁徙时利用其他鸟类叫声导航，涉及动物行为(生物学) 和空间定位(地理学)，故选B。 49．推理判断题。全文通过大象摆耳、鲸鱼咔嗒声、鸟类导航声、叉尾卷尾鸟模仿警报声等多个动物案例展开，属于典型举例论证。故选D。 50．细节理解题。根据“However, he pointed out that young drongos might copy sounds without understanding them at first—just like babies make noises before learning to talk.”可知，Thomas Flower的研究表明，幼鸟先模仿后理解，说明其具备声音模仿天赋，但非故意欺骗。故选C。 51．词义猜测题。根据最后一段“While animals show smart communication skills, their ‘languages’ remain a mystery. We might never fully understand their ‘languages’,”可知，动物们展示出智慧的交流技能，我们可能从不能全部理解它们的“语言”，它们的语言是个“秘密”，故划线单词“mystery”意为“秘密”。故选A。 52．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文以动物交流的智慧为核心，分述鸟类导航、叉尾卷尾鸟欺骗策略等案例，末段点明其联系自然的意义。故A项“动物分享信息的聪明方式”全面覆盖主题。故选A。 Passage13（2025·山东临沂·二模） Chinese calligraphy (书法) is a very important part of traditional Chinese culture. There are many famous calligraphers in history such as Wang Xizhi and Yan Zhenqing. Different calligraphy works can show different calligraphers’ feelings and personality (性格). Today, they can be seen on the walls of offices, shops, hotels and many other places. Calligraphy started in China and spread to other parts of Asia with Chinese culture. It has a history of 4,000 to 5,000 years. Calligraphy is the art of writing Chinese characters and especially refers to the rules of writing with a brush. When you practice calligraphy, it is important to pay attention to the changes of the strokes (笔画) and spaces between the characters. “If I once lived in China, I must have become a calligrapher rather than a painter,” the world-famous master of art, Picasso, once said after seeing Zhang Daqian write down his name with a calligraphy brush. The tool for practicing calligraphy is calligraphy brushes. They are usually made from the hair of different animals. But there is a popular calligraphy brush that is made from foetal hair (胎毛). No one is really sure where the tradition comes from. But hundreds of years ago in China, people started to believe this kind of calligraphy brush was a symbol of good luck. Practicing calligraphy needs a lot of patience and many people take lessons to learn it. During the lessons, they can learn how to hold a calligraphy brush and how to write different strokes of Chinese characters. If you’re interested in it, you may start practicing with a professional (专业人员) right away. 53．What can we learn about a calligrapher through his calligraphy works? ① His age.    ② His character.    ③ His background.    ④ His feelings.

Doctors have seen more young people having “ear problems”. These problems include trouble understanding speech or needing subtitles (字幕) to watch TV. However, their ears are healthy; it’s their brains that are affected. This problem is known as auditory processing disorder (APD). People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them. For our hearing to work well, our brains need to choose which sounds to focus on and which to ignore. We get the skill when we hear different sounds. If we don’t hear different kinds of sounds, we can lose this skill, said NHS doctors. Noise-canceling headphones take away these different sounds, which might be part of the problem. Claire Benton from the British Academy of Audiology said that wearing these headphones creates a “false (虚假的) environment” where you only hear what you want. This makes it easier for your brain, so it doesn’t have to work as hard. Noise travels in. waves through air and water. Noise-canceling headphones stop these waves in two ways: One is to use things like special ear cups. The other is to use a microphone to cancel out noise with opposite sound waves. This technology can be harmful if you use it too much. However, it is still helpful for people working in noisy places. 57．What problem do people with APD have? A．They cannot hear loud sounds. B．They don’t like watching TV. C．They have trouble understanding sounds. 58．What might be the meaning of the underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph.3? A．remember quickly B．pay no attention to C．listen carefully 59．Why can noise-canceling headphones be bad for your brains? A．They stop your brain from hearing different sounds. B．They give out unhealthy waves from the microphone. C．They change the direction of important sound waves. 60．Where is the passage most likely from? A．A personal diary. B．A travel guide. C．A newspaper. 【答案】57．C 58．B 59．A 60．C 【导语】本文主要讨论了长时间使用降噪耳机可能带来的风险。 57．细节理解题。根据第二段“People with APD can hear sounds but find it hard to understand them.”可知，APD患者能听到声音但难以理解。故选C。 58．词义猜测题。根据“For our hearing to work well, our brains need to choose which sounds to focus on and which to ignore.”可知，大脑需要选择哪些声音要关注，所以也需要选择哪些声音要忽略。因此，“ignore”意为“不关注”。故选B。 59．细节理解题。根据第三段“We get the skill when we hear different sounds...Noise-canceling headphones take away these different sounds, which might be part of the problem.”可知，降噪耳机消除多样声音，导致大脑失去声音处理能力，故而对大脑有害。故选A。 60．推理判断题。根据第一段“...according to The New York Post.”可知，首段明确引用《纽约邮报》的研究发现，属于典型新闻特征，故推测出本文可能来自报纸。故选C。 Passage15（2025·湖南长沙·二模） Have you ever joyfully stepped out to your garden, freshly enjoyed coffee in hand, only to find your cared-for plants dying? Was the earth too dry? Did insects find their way in? Faced with this, some gardeners wish plants could tell them what they need. A new UK project is testing this idea. Next year, an AI-Garden in England will be shown off. It uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and tell gardeners when plants needs care. Gardeners can ask it questions and it might reply with phrases like “I need a bit more water.” or “I could use a haircut.” This magical AI-Garden was created by an AI company called Avende and Microsoft! When it’s ready, there will be smart sensors (传感器) hidden around the garden, like plant “health recorder”. These sensors check soil conditions and can predict things like strong winds or rainstorms. The data they collect is sent to a special “digital brain” (an AI model) in a small glass building at the back of the garden. Just like a super gardener, this AI model analyzes the information and then tell gardeners the best time to fertilize (施肥), water, or cut the plants, keeping plant happy and healthy! Despite (尽管) the challenges ahead, I’m confident that as this AI-Garden keeps improving, it will become a great helper for every gardener. It’s bringing us closer to a future where taking care of gardens is easier and more fun with the help of technology. 61．How does the writer lead to the topic in the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By giving an example. C．By asking questions. 62．What does the underlined word “monitor” in Para.2 mean? A．监测 B．威胁 C．利用 63．Which is the job of the sensors in the AI-Garden?

On March 20, the UN World Happiness Report made a list about this, after studying things like GDP, social support and life expectancy (预期寿命). Finland was once again the world’s happiest country for the eighth year in a row. Finland tops the list for many reasons. First, it is well-known for its strong social support. The government and companies in Finland offer people great support for health, education and many other things. Also, people share this support fairly, as explained by Ilana Ron-Levey, a social science researcher. People in Finland also trust each other. The government shares information honestly, which helps people trust their neighbors and the government, according to Business Finland. John Helliwell, an editor of the World Happiness Report noticed that people in northern European countries return the most lost wallets. “Those are individuals (个人的) caring about the people with whom they live.” What’s more, being close to nature makes them happy. In Finland, people never take a more than 10-minute walk from a park or forest. This greatly improves people’s well-being and even creativity, as reported by Business Finland. Emma Seppala, a Yale lecturer studying in the science of happiness, found that when people stay away from electronic devices, their brains become more active in finding new ways to solve problems. “For people living in Finland, that is what the forest offers,” she told Business Finland. 65．What do we learn about Finland’s social support? A．It comes only from the government. B．Everyone can enjoy it in the same way. C．It is only for improving health and education. D．It helps Finnish (芬兰的) companies be the best in the world. 66．Why do Finnish people trust each other? A．Because of the well-run government and caring people. B．Because of their kind northern European neighbors. C．Because of their healthy development of business. D．Because of their rich and happy lifestyles. 67．According to Emma Seppala, what makes Finnish people happier? A．Their electronic devices are cheaper. B．They love to solve problems. C．Parks or forests are always close by. D．They are encouraged to be creative. 68．How is the passage running?

When it drops you off, it drives itself back home, so you don’t have to worry about parking. These are what self-driving cars can do. A self-driving car, also called a driverless car, is a car that can sense the environment around it and drive itself. Depending on how advanced (先进的) the car is, it might need different standards (标准) of human help. At the highest standards, a person might not need to control the car at all. But at lower standards, a person might still need to control it sometimes. However, making self-driving cars isn’t simple. According to Wired magazine, it’s a whole system with different parts that need care. Things like road networks (网络) influence it. Although making self-driving cars takes a lot of time and money, the advantages are worth it. For example, self-driving cars could reduce (减少) road accidents. The US government’s data shows that 94 percent of accidents happen because of drivers’ mistakes. Using self-driving cars means spending less money on the payment of medicine, less missed work and fewer car repairs. Besides, these cars could also use less fuel (汽油) and produce less pollution by cutting down on traffic problems and not running when they’re not needed. What’s more, these cars can give more freedom to disabled people. Many big companies such as Baidu and Tesla are making self-driving cars. Wired magazine said this technology could add $7 trillion (more than 49 trillion yuan) to the world economy (经济) soon. Goldman Sachs, a global bank, said self-driving cars could make up 10 percent of new car sales by 2030. Anyway, be open to new things and welcome their coming! 69．What can a self-driving car do according to the first paragraph? A．It can drive people to the place without directions and return by itself.

The app was developed by three university students with hearing problems: Zhao Yuan, Wang Yueran, and Tan Chenglong. It helps common people learn sign language, making them able to communicate with those who have hearing problems. ArtfulSign uses AI models in sign language teaching. Each sign language word is shown through real-person video examples. After learning, users can open the camera, and the app will check and assess (评估) their sign language gestures. AI-powered machine learning helps learners know right away if they are performing correctly, which makes learning more fun. Among the three, 25-year-old Zhao Yuan is the leader. She also works on building and training the AI model, which is the most difficult part of the work. To help the AI recognize sign language signs better, they need to train it with nearly 1,000 videos for each sign language gesture. However, because there aren’t enough videos to use, they have to film them themselves. So far, the ArtfulSign team has made thousands of sign language videos. Zhao Yuan and the other two have spent six months developing ArtfulSign and are still working to improve it. They plan to put the app on the Apple App Store soon. We hope that one day ArtfulSign will be widely used, so that both people with hearing problems and common people can use sign language, she said. 83．What is the main purpose of the ArtfulSign app? A．To help people with hearing problems learn to speak. B．To teach common people how to perform in front of a camera. C．To help common people communicate with those who have hearing problems. D．To provide entertainment through sign language videos. 84．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．The developers of the app. B．The way the app works.

Different cultures follow their own special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. ②After a child loses his baby tooth in Greece, he makes a wish for a strong and healthy adult tooth while throwing his broken baby tooth onto the roof (屋顶). He tries to throw the tooth as straight as possible, hoping that a straight strong tooth will grow in its place. Children in China and Singapore also follow the same practice. ③But this isn’t the only way the fallen tooth is treated around the world. In parts of Africa, children throw lost upper (上面的) teeth on the roof and bury (埋) lost lower teeth in the ground. But in East Asia, it’s the opposite: lower teeth go on the roof and upper teeth are buried or hidden under the bed. In some mid-eastern countries such as Iraq and Egypt, kids are encouraged to throw their teeth up towards the sky. ④But do you know one of the most common ways to deal with it? Kids give the tooth to a mouse to make the adult tooth as strong as the mouse’s. They usually make a wish or sing a song during the ceremony. This happens in many places like Mexico, Russia, and New Zealand. ⑤In fact, kids in Argentina leave their tooth in a glass for a magical mouse who will bring a treasure while they sleep. In France and Switzerland, there’s a La Petit Souris (little mouse) that takes the thrown-away baby teeth for money or candy. In South Africa, the tooth is left in a slipper for the “tooth mouse”, who leaves a gift behind. How interesting it is! ⑥This is not all. In some places, the tooth is often kept at home and in some others, it is just thrown away. In modern times, parents are also storing their children’s baby teeth to keep stem cells (干细胞) for some medical research later in life. 88．To draw readers’ attention, the writer started the passage by ________. A．listing the facts. B．asking a question C．giving an example D．showing a reason 89．What are Chinese kids supposed to do with their fallen teeth? A．Hide them under the bed. B．Throw them into the air.

Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos? Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle (肌肉) movements. When we smile, we lift our mouth upwards and cause the skin around our eyes to gather into folds. These muscle movements are usually absent in the case of a forced smile, especially when the smile is small. Our brains are highly skilled at distinguishing (辨别) the differences in muscle movements. That’s why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard, discovering it on someone else is a piece of cake. One of the most common reasons why you look unnatural in photos is an increased awareness (意识) of your appearance. The worry about posture, hair, and makeup can add to the stress, killing the chances of a real smile. A smile looks best when it comes naturally. Warm and welcoming smiles come along with warm and welcoming body language, but when you’re in front of the camera, trying too hard to perform can make your body language appear stiff (僵硬的) and far from welcome. Besides, facial expressions are not always understood in the same way. A smile can mean differently in different cultures. For example, a wide smile that seems welcoming to some may appear fake and dishonest. This may also influence how people feel about your smile in photos. However, we shouldn’t let this trouble us too much. So, if you want to smile naturally before the camera, perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy. Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read… that should work! 93．What is a real smile connected with? A．Personal characters. B．Educational backgrounds. C．Muscle movements. D．Professional achievements. 94．What does the underlined word “a piece of cake” mean in paragraph 2? A．Something that is very difficult to do. B．Something that is very easy to do. C．Something that is very terrible to eat. D．Something that is very delicious to eat. 95．How to smile naturally according to the writer? A．Recalling a strange story. B．Practicing smiles in the mirror. C．Improving your expression abilities. D．Thinking of a humorous moment. 96．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How can we turn the fake into the real? B．How can we fake a real smile? C．Why is it hard to smile naturally in photos? D．What is needed to take good photos? 【答案】93．C 94．B 95．D 96．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了假笑与真笑的区别、为何照片中难以展现自然笑容的原因，并给出了自然微笑的建议。 93．细节理解题。根据“Scientists have found that a real smile is featured by two main muscle (肌肉) movements.”可知，真笑与肌肉运动直接相关。故选C。 94．词句猜测题。根据“That’s why though trying to fake a real smile can be hard”可知，假装一个真正的微笑很难，但在别人身上发现假笑却是轻松的事。“a piece of cake”意为“轻而易举的事，轻松的事”，与选项B意思相近。故选B。 95．细节理解题。根据“So, if you want to smile naturally before the camera, perhaps the simplest trick is to give your brain a real reason to feel happy. Maybe recall a joyful moment or just think back to a funny story you read”可知，幽默的回忆能帮助自然微笑。故选D。 96．主旨大意题。通读全文并根据“Why can one easily discover a fake smile and why does it seem so difficult to give a real smile in photos?”可知，本文主要讲述了为何照片中难以展现自然笑容的原因。故选C。 Passage23（2025·浙江杭州·二模） The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is doing something really cool. They are testing tiny cameras that patients can actually swallow (吞) to get checked for cancer (癌症). Cancer is a terrible disease. The earlier cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. So, the NHS invites people who might be at risk of certain cancers to have a check once or twice a year. Usually, people need to go to the hospital for the checks. These special cameras are called PillCams. Why? Because they are put in a small capsule (胶囊) that’s easy to swallow, just like taking a kind of medicine. The capsule also has a tiny light. As it travels through the body, it takes pictures of the patient’s bowel (肠). The pictures are sent to a small device (装置) in a bag that the patient wears. After the camera finishes its job, the patient returns the bag to the hospital. Then, doctors can look at the photos carefully to see if there are any problems. The whole process takes 5 to 8 hours, and during this time, the patient can still go about their normal day, doing things like going to work or doing simple housework. This amazing technology has already been tried in Scotland. Now, it’s being tested on 11,000 patients all over the UK, including England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sir Simon Stevens, who is in charge of the NHS in England, said, “What seemed like something from a science fiction movie is now becoming real. These small cameras take two pictures every second as they move through your body, looking for signs of cancer and other health problems.” It’s so exciting to think about how this new technology can help more people stay healthy! 97．What cool thing is the National Health Service doing?

It has been used for celebrations, special events, storytelling, and expressing emotions. But the true value of music is something we often don’t notice, even though it continuously presents in our lives. Studies show that music is not just a source of entertainment; it actually influences our physical and emotional well-being. Music influences us in many ways, from improving our mood to helping our memory. Research has proven that listening to music can reduce stress by lowering blood pressure and heart beats. For example, soft music is often used in hospitals to help patients feel relaxed. Meanwhile, fast songs are played during workouts to increase motivation and energy. Music has the power to change how we feel, encouraging happiness, inspiration, and even deep reflection. Moreover, music is known to improve cognitive functions (认知功能). Many students find that listening to music while studying helps them focus better and remember information. Studies also suggest that learning to play an instrument improves skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and body control. Music helps build new connections in the brain, making it better al dealing with hard information. Additionally, music treatment is now widely used to support mental health, helping people deal with worry, sadness, and painful memories in a safe, comforting way. Yet, not everyone realizes how deeply music shapes their daily lives. In a world full of noise, we often neglect the unbelievable effects of music on our emotional health. We forget that music is more than a background sound; it is a powerful tool for growth. Its sounds connect people across cultures and generations, providing a universal language that speaks directly to the heart. As much as music brings comfort and joy, it also teaches us about balance. Too much exposure (暴露) to loud or wild music can cause stress, harm our cars, and even influence our sleep. Therefore, just like with light and darkness, we must learn to appreciate (欣赏) music wisely, using it to improve our well-being instead of flooding our senses. Music is a gift that has always been with us, waiting to be truly appreciated. When we understand its power and use it mindfully, we can unlock new levels of creativity, peace, and connection. And in doing so, we rediscover what it truly means to be human. 106．What can we learn from the passage? A．Music lessons should be taught more in classes.

They have seeds, too. New plants grow from seeds. Some seeds fall on the ground. Some seeds don’t. New plants grow next to the old plants. When plants grow in this way, they are too crowded to get enough sunshine and water. So some of them may die. But some plants spread their seeds even far from where they live. So these seeds can grow in new places. There are many different ways of the seeds’ travel. ②The wind helps seeds to travel. Some plant seeds have little wings. When the wind blows, the seeds can fly far away. Soon they fall to the ground and new plants may grow there. Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground, but they are so big that they can’t fly. They roll (滚动) along the ground, dropping off their seeds at the same time. ③Other plants grow near the water. Their seeds drop into the water and go away with it. They may travel many miles before they stop. ④Some seeds have special parts called “stickers”. The stickers help the seeds travel far. How can they do that? These seeds wait for an animal to walk by. Then they stick into its fur to get a free ride. Sometimes it’s a long trip. Birds carry some plant seeds to new places, too. ⑤Seeds can’t walk. They can’t run, either. But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals. 109．What will happen if new plants are crowded? A．Some of them will travel. B．Some of them will die. C．Some of them can grow taller. D．Some of them can live better. 110．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Wings. B．Seeds. C．Plants. D．Birds. 111．What can help the seeds to travel according to the text?

So some of them may die.”克制，当植物这样生长时，它们会因过于拥挤而无法获得足够的阳光和水，因此部分可能会死亡。故选B。 110．词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“Some plants dry up. The wind pulls them from the ground”可知，一些植物干枯，风将它们从地上拔起。由此可知“them”指代前文提到的干枯的植物。故选C。 111．细节理解题。根据文章第5段“But they can travel with the help of wind, water and animals.”可知，种子可以通过风、水和动物的帮助传播。故选D。 112．篇章结构题。文章第1段总述种子传播的必要性，第2、3、4段分述三种传播方式（风力、水力、动物），第5段总结。因此文章结构是“总—分—总”结构。故选C。 113．最佳标题题。全文围绕种子如何传播展开，所以“种子的旅行”最贴合主题。故选D。 Passage27（2025·福建厦门·二模） Most people use one hand more than the other, like being right-handed or left-handed. Surprisingly, elephants also have a preferred side for using their trunks! German scientists studied this by watching Asian and African elephants in zoos and wildlife parks. They spent months recording how elephants used their trunks to pick up food, drink water, and play with objects. How did they discover an elephant’s “favorite side”? The answer lies in the wrinkles (皱纹) on their trunks. The team discovered that the wrinkles on an elephant’s trunk are not the same on both sides. For example, some elephants are left-trunkers. These elephants pick up objects towards the left side of their bodies. So, their trunks have more wrinkles on the left side. Interestingly, Asian and African elephants showed differences. Asian elephants’ trunks have more wrinkles than African elephants’. More wrinkles make trunks more flexible, similar to how folds in an accordion (手风琴) work. This might explain why Asian elephants’ trunks bend (弯曲) more easily. Another key difference is the end of the trunk. African elephants have two finger-like parts at the trunk’s end, allowing them to scoop objects like humans using two fingers. Asian elephants, however, have only one “finger”, so they depend on their highly wrinkled trunks to lift up things. Why do these differences matter? Scientists believe Asian elephants need more wrinkles to help them collect food in the forests where they live, while African elephants’ double “fingers” work better for getting objects in open grasslands. This study shows how animals’ bodies get used to their environments. Next time you see an elephant, look closely—its trunk wrinkles might tell you whether it’s a “left-trunker” or “right-trunker”! 114．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a fact. B．By explaining words. C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene. 115．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．A discovery of elephant habits. B．A problem in elephant’s living. C．An example of elephant protection. D．A method for elephant watching. 116．What does the underlined word “flexible” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Valuable. B．Touchable. C．Bendable. D．Acceptable. 117．What can be found on the trunk of an African elephant? ①more wrinkles         ②fewer wrinkles ③one finger-like part     ④two finger-like parts A．①③ B．①④ C．②③ D．②④ 118．What is the main purpose of this text? A．To tell what elephant trunks can be used to do. B．To discuss how people influence where elephants live. C．To find out why elephants prefer a certain kind of food. D．To show how elephants fit physically in their environment. 【答案】114．A 115．A 116．C 117．D 118．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了专家研究发现大象使用象鼻有偏好，这种偏好与大象的生存种类及生存环境有关。 114．推理判断题。根据第一段开头“Most people use one hand more than the other, like being right-handed or left-handed.”可知，第一段开头介绍了“大多数人用一只手比用另一只手多，比如右撇子或左撇子”的情况，则作者通过讲述事实的方式开启了本文。故选A。 115．段落大意题。通读第二段尤其是“How did they discover an elephant’s ‘favorite side’”可知，第二段主要在讲述专家是如何发现大象的偏好的，选项A“大象习性的发现”符合。故选A。 116．词句猜测题。根据第三段“More wrinkles make trunks more flexible, similar to how folds in an accordion work. This might explain why Asian elephants’ trunks bend more easily.”中的“bend more easily”可知，大象的褶皱类似于手风琴的褶皱，也使得亚洲象的鼻子更容易弯曲，则画线部分应指“更容易弯曲的”，与选项C“可弯曲的”意思相近。故选C。 117．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Asian elephants’ trunks have more wrinkles than African elephants’”及“African elephants have two finger-like parts at the trunk’s end”可知，在非洲象的躯干上，可以发现较少的皱纹，并且能看到两个类似手指的结构，则②④表述正确。故选D。 118．推理判断题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了专家研究发现大象使用象鼻有偏好，这种偏好与大象的生存种类及生存环境有关，则选项D“为了展示大象是如何适应环境的”符合。故选D。 Passage28（2025·四川自贡·二模） It has been more than 40 years since anyone found a Japanese river otter. It is just one of the animals that have been listed as extinct (灭绝) or locally extinct in recent years. But the development of technology could mean that the extinction of other animals is not likely to take place. A huge challenge scientists face is watching endangered animals in order to help them. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) has brought a turning point in the way information on these animals is collected and studied. The Maui dolphin is one of the most valuable and endangered dolphins in the ocean. With a collection of their summer behavior facts, researchers knew that there were just 54 of these mysterious animals living off the coast of New Zealand. However, because of weather conditions, researchers know almost nothing about their winter behavior. After four years of developing and testing, these scientists were able to use a drone (无人机) with AI to watch the dolphins no matter the season. The result was more wild areas provided for them to live. In Zambia’s Kafue National Park, home to more than 6,000 elephants, AI is being used to improve traditional methods of preventing hunting. Cameras record any boats that try to enter the park. AI immediately notices this activity and warns park guards, who deal with the hunters. In Brazil, AI quickly studied over 150,000 satellite pictures, discovering that the world’s largest wetland has lost 74 percent of its surface water. Not until that discoveries did governments realize how serious the situation was. The use of AI has helped to speed action and increase our ability to protect the natural world for the future to come. 119．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing opinions. C．By giving an example. 120．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．When AI can help. B．Why AI can help. C．Where AI can help. 121．What happened when AI was used in Brazil? A．Governments began to know it was a big trouble. B．More wild areas were provided as endangered animals' home. C．The world’s largest wetland has lost 74 percent of its surface water. 122．What can we infer (推断) from the text? A．Nature is safer with the help of AI. B．AI can help scientists in different fields. C．AI will be an important technology in the future. 【答案】119．C 120．B 121．A 122．A 【导语】本文主要讲了人工智能可以被用于保护动物和保护大自然，并用相关保护案例进行说明。 119．细节理解题。根据“It has been more than 40 years since anyone found a Japanese river otter.
