Chatbots are smart programs that can talk to us on phones, messaging apps and websites and give quick replies to our questions. Chatbots have changed how we get information and shop online. They can do many things, like learning new knowledge, giving helpful suggestions and solving technical problems. This makes them very useful in our busy digital lives. There are two types of chatbots: open and closed. Closed chatbots use pre-written answers for common questions. Open chatbots, however, use advanced AI to understand what we want and give the right replies. They also learn from each conversation, becoming better at answering different kinds of questions over time. The great thing about chatbots is that they’re used any time, even at night. And they can help many people at once, so we don’t have to wait long for answers. But chatbots aren’t perfect. Some questions are too difficult for chatbots to answer, that’s why they need humans to train them. Besides, they can’t understand human feelings well. Many people still prefer talking to real persons because of the warmth they provide. Chatbots have made online services faster and more convenient. But they can’t work best without working together with humans. By combining AI-powered chatbots and human skills, we get a better customer service experience that’s both quick and understanding. As we move forward in this digital age, using chatbots and human intelligence together will shape how we interact (互动) with technology in the future. 1．What do big tech companies use AI to do to help people get answers fast? 2．What have chatbots changed according to the text? 3．Why do chatbots need humans to train them? 4．How can chatbots work best? 5．Which of the two types of chatbots do you think is better to use? Why? Passage2（2025·山东临沂·二模） Youtiao is one of the traditional breakfast foods in China. Almost all youtiao is long and golden-brown. Youtiao usually comes in pairs. Do you know why? Experiments have proven that only by sticking two strips of dough (生面团) together and frying them can youtiao expand enough and become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. In most cases, people eat youtiao in the morning. Generally, youtiao is paired with soya milk (豆浆), porridge or tofu pudding. Nowadays, there are many creative ways to enjoy youtiao. For example, it can be eaten with hot pot, dipped in sugar, or even coated with chocolate. You may not know that youtiao is over 800 years old! It first appeared during the Southern Song Dynasty, and there’s a fun story about it. At that time, there was a very brave general named Yue Fei. He led his army to many victories. However, an official named Qin Hui and his wife were jealous of Yue Fei’s achievements, so they made up false charges (虚假指控) against him. Finally, Yue Fei was sadly killed. The people were very angry, but they couldn’t openly fight against Qin Hui. So they came up with a clever idea: they shaped dough into the form of two people, representing Qin Hui and his wife, and then fried them in oil, calling it “Fried Hui (油炸桧)”. Later, the fried dough became what we now call youtiao. But this is just a story-real history may be simpler: it’s just an ancient fried snack! 6．Why are two strips of dough stuck together and fried? 7．What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? 8．Which hero is youtiao connected with? 9．How did people in Song Dynasty show their anger to Qin Hui? 10．Do you like youtiao for breakfast? Why or why not? Passage3（2025·江苏扬州·二模） 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。 (每题答案不超过10个词) We began our hunt for the treasure. I was tied with rope and held by Silver. The other pirates (海盗) carried picks and shovels. Suddenly, one man at the front shouted. We ran towards him and saw a skeleton (骨架) lying near a pine tree. With a compass (罗盘), we knew it pointed in the direction of Skeleton Island, where the treasure is. It reminded the pirates of the Captain Flint’s story and they started discussing his death. When we rested, we heard a voice singing from the trees, similar to Flint’s. The pirates were all frightened. “Someone is playing a trick on us.” said Silver. The men started to feel better. However, the voice called out again, which made pirates look around in fear. Silver said, “I was never afraid of Flint when he was alive, and neither I am now. I won’t turn back on treasure quite near.” With this, the men’s spirits returned. They picked up things and we continued walking. Along the way, I was worried about Silver. I believe he could kill everyone to keep the treasure for himself. One pirate shouted and the others started running but stopped at a great big hole. All the signs clearly showed treasure was not there. A fight was about to happen, but Silver acted faster. When I and Silver were prepared for the attack, the doctor, Gray and Ben Gunn came out and joined us. As we walked to boats, the doctor told the story. “Two months ago, Ben found treasure and carried it to a cave. When we arrived, I met Gunn,” continued the doctor. “Then when I couldn’t see the ship, I visited Silver and gave him the useless map. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit. So I left squire and captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit (坑) in time. Gunn went before me, as he could move faster and worked on the pirates’ fears by singing and calling out, with great success.” — Adapted from Treasure island 11．What did the skeleton remind the pirates of? 12．How did pirates feel when he first heard the song from the trees? 13．Why was Jim worried about Silver along the way? 14．Who sang the song at the beginning of the story? 15．Do you think Ben Gunn’s idea is good? Why or why not? Passage4（2025·江苏苏州·二模） 阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前2题每题答案不超过10个词，第4题不限)。 ①Recently, an AI-generated (人工智能生成) video of sushi (寿司) became a hot topic over the night, attracting the attention of millions on the Internet. But what made this simple video so popular? ②At first, the video-looks like any other food video-a well-plated sushi that looks very satisfying to eat. But as the video goes on, the sushi starts to change. It becomes a living thing that looks scary, unpleasant and strange enough. It is exactly not food any more. It moves, creeps (爬行), and even looks around, creating a sense of discomfort that grows the longer you watch. How unusual the art style is! ③The video quickly got millions of views. Some were impressed by how real and creative the animation (动画) was and amazed that AI could make the sushi look alive. But for many, it was too much. While a few found it “interesting”, most felt uncomfortable or scared. One person even shouted, “This is awful!” ④This video shows what AI can do in art. It can create very realistic pictures and animations, turning what we imagine in mind into what we see on the screen. But it also makes us wonder: Is it okay for AI to create things that might scare people or make them mentally uncomfortable? 16．Why did the sushi video get widespread attention over the night? (不超过10个词) 17．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about? (不超过10个词) 18．Is it necessary to stop AI creating videos? Why or why not?

As the elderly may face challenges in cooking, and many young people cannot cook, these canteens have become perfect places for the two generations (一代人) to become meal friends. Community canteens bring some surprises. They meet the dining habits of young people in a number of ways. For example, the vegetarian (素食的) restaurants in Hangzhou have meals including a main dish, a bowl of rice, soup, fruit salad, and a side dish. Hu Yifan, head of the canteen, said 70 percent of its customers are young people. A canteen in Beijing even introduced self-service meals. The buffer-style (自助式的) dishes there are priced at just 2.48 yuan per 100 grams. This price is lower than the restaurants nearby. The canteen has attracted many customers in and out of the neighborhood. People can get cheap meals from community canteens. For only 20 yuan, Fang Wenjing, who works in the office, ordered a well-balanced lunch at a community canteen in the city. It included a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. “The dishes have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected. The canteen is also clean,” said Fang: “While it’s a community canteen, it can just as easily be described as a Western restaurant. It is beautifully designed. The environment is fantastic and super clean,” a Dazhong Dianping user commented (评价) on one of the canteens. 19．How much should a customer pay if he orders 300 grams of self-service meals in a canteen in Beijing? 20．Why did Fang Wenjing like the lunch at the community canteen? 21．Use a word to describe the community canteens. 22．Besides food, what else do you want the community canteens to provide? (列举两点，共20个词以内) Passage6（2025·山东临沂·二模） 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 In many countries of the world, people are saying, “We must do something about our rubbish. We don’t want our world to become one big landfill site (垃圾填埋场).” In Ireland, the government was very worried about plastic bags so they asked people to pay for them. Since 2002, Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. They also said that nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. So there were no plastic bags in the country soon. One of the most exciting recycling ideas is Freecycle. It has grown around the world. People join a Freecycle group because they are looking for things or have things that they want to give to other people. Perhaps they have a chair they do not need any more, or they want a camera. They leave a message on the Internet to tell people what they want or what they are going to give. Nobody buys or sells anything—people give things to other people who want them. It is a good idea because it recycles useful things. Recycling is important and sometimes it is exciting too. Using less and reusing are also important answers to the problem of rubbish. 23．What did the Ireland government ask people to do? 24．Why were there no plastic bags in Zanzibar? 25．Why is Freecycle a good idea? 26．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) about recycling? 27．As a student, what should you do to solve the problem of rubbish in your daily life? Passage7（2025·江苏常州·二模） Nowadays, typing or texting is taking the place of the strokes (笔画) of Chinese characters. For this reason, people are paying less attention to handwriting. As a result, they can’t even remember exactly how to write a given character sometimes. This is called “character amnesia (提笔忘字)”. To change the situation, the TV program named Chinese Character Dictation (听写) Competition came out. Meng Man, who teaches at Minzu University of China, took part in the competition as a judge. “I was surprised by some competitors because I couldn’t even remember how to write certain characters, but they could,” she said. “Now many adults have trouble writing Chinese characters. The program is really great, since it draws people’s attention to this problem.” When typing or texting, most people use a system where they type out the pinyin of a character and then get a list of all possible Chinese characters. They just need to choose the one they want from the list. The bad thing about the system is that it stops people from thinking about how a Chinese character is formed. “Chinese characters are usually square. They teach people to be upright (正直的). Typing or texting will influence people’s understanding of the traditional culture behind the Chinese characters,”Meng said. To solve the problem of “character amnesia”, experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting. In this way, they can avoid forgetting how to write characters. 28．What problem do some people face according to Paragraph 1? 29．What does Meng Man think of the TV program? 30．What advice do experts give to deal with “character amnesia”? 31．Do you think it’s necessary for us to write Chinese characters? Why? Passage8（2025·重庆·二模） 阅读下列材料，根据文章内容回答问题。 Where will you go when you are free? A bar, a shopping mall, or just home? Well, these choices may be outdated for young people today. Instead, they prefer to stay in a café with cats or dogs, known as a pet café. Pet cafés have become popular places, offering visitors a chance to take away stress from busy days by spending time with cute animals. This trend has grown so much that there are over 3,500 cat café-related companies and more than 200 dog café-related businesses in the country. Among these cafés, Jenny, a pet lover, prefers a stray (流浪的) cat café in Beijing. She visits it twice a week and is especially drawn to a cat named Naninai. “It’s a quiet and clean place,” Jenny says. “I learned that many cats here are rescued strays, and I’m happy to see them living better lives.” Jenny always orders a coffee and a dessert while enjoying a relaxing afternoon surrounded by cats. “I can always have fun with a cat, especially after a week’s schoolwork.” She added. The café owner notes they’ve welcomed a group of customers. Some come for the comfortable presence (陪伴) of the cats while others visit to give away food to them or take them home. There’s no need to worry about illnesses because all the cats or dogs are vaccinated (接种疫苗的), and they are treated with care. The staff share details of each animal’s personality, helping guests understand which ones enjoy hugs or snacks. 32．Are there more than 3,500 cat café-related companies in the country? 33．How often does Jenny visit the stray cat café? 34．Why do people visit pet cafés according to the text? 35．Some people are against pet cafés. What might be the reason(s)? Passage9（2025·吉林长春·二模） Hu Weiguang from Lishui moved to Fuzhou to make a living about 7 years ago. In 2022, he and his wife set up a street stall (货摊) selling guokui (or dry bread) in a university town. The guokui was very popular for its delicious taste.

She needed someone to look after her every day. While caring for his wife, Hu, continued his business. Their 21-year-old son had to stop his studies to help his family. Things changed after a college student sent a post about Hu’s story online and many people knew about him. There were lots of students waiting in line in front of Hu’s stall every day. Most of them were from the universities nearby. “Uncle Hu works so hard and never gives up. I’m really touched,” a student said. Two cooks from Hu’s hometown came to help him after learning about Hu’s difficulties. At the same time, many volunteers have offered to help him look for a new storefront (店面) to set up his business. Some doctors even looked for a better treatment for his wife. Hu was moved by the warmth. However, he has refused all the donations (捐赠). “I’m really thankful for the help.

Passage10（2025·北京房山·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Walking Barefoot Barefoot walking has a long history and we can’t say it was started by just one person. In 2009, Christopher McDougall published the book Barn to Run, which tells the story of the Tarahumara people in Mexico who run long distances barefoot. George Woodville is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media. He shares his barefoot experiences with strangers online. Many people liked his videos and tried walking barefoot. World Barefoot Day is on the first Saturday of June every year. This day encourages people to walk without shoes. The aim is to make more people know about poor children who can’t afford shoes. Some groups also start activities to collect and give away shoes and money. If you want to try walking barefoot, you can practise at home or in a safe place. Make sure to check your feet for cuts after each walk and keep your feet clean. Walking barefoot can offer surprising health benefits. Taking time each day to walk barefoot or step outside and put your feet in the grass can improve your physical and mental health. Walking without shoes can strengthen the muscles of the feet. People who run without shoes usually have larger leg and foot muscles. What’s more, it helps us improve our balance and posture (体态). Walking barefoot is also good for our mental health. While walking around barefoot can have many benefits and positive effects on your health, you have to remember that humans invented shoes for a reason. Sure, there are plenty of benefits to walking around barefoot some of the time, but that doesn’t mean that you should just throw away all of your shoes and go all natural all the time. The most obvious reason for wearing shoes is to protect our feet from environments. Sometimes, we might step on something and get our feet cut. And walking barefoot in some public places may put us at risk of getting diseases like athlete’s foot. Also, if we’re not used to it, it might be a bit hard on our joints (关节). Although there are some risks, the benefits of walking barefoot are really amazing! 41．Who is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media? 42．When is World Barefoot Day? 43．Where can you practise walking barefoot? 44．Would you like to try walking barefoot? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons,) Passage11（2025·山东淄博·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 My favorite book Wonder Title: Wonder Author (作者): R. J. Palacio What’s the book about?

Passage13（2025·福建宁德·二模） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答下列各小题。 Do you find it hard to keep your promise of not overspending? It all started with a promise not to overspend. And for the first couple of days, I managed to keep it. But then... oops! On the fourth day, I took out my credit card (信用卡) and did it again! Do you have such experience? If you are too young to spend freely, think about your favorite snack. We often know what we should do, but why do we keep doing the opposite? Many people turn to experts for advice. They tell you to keep away from social media and friends who overspend to control the stimulus (刺激). Then, the experts suggest you control your spending: Cut up your credit cards. Such advice helps at first, but soon it stops working. Let’s face it: You can’t avoid every advertisement pushing you to buy something. Here’s a secret that has helped me break my terrible spending cycle. There is a space between the stimulus and answer to it. And our choice lies in the space. We see a social media post (帖子) about a book with a connection to Taobao. A quick click, and the book is on its way. That’s how I had unread books all over my office. Now I follow the “72-hour rule”. When I see an interesting book, I put it on a list. If I still want it 72 hours later, I’ll go ahead and buy it. How you create this little “spending space” depends on you, but I think you can give the “72-hour rule” a try. 55．What was the writer’s promise at the beginning? 56．How many suggestions do experts give to control overspending? 57．Why does the experts’ advice stop working after a while? 58．What will the writer do with the book if she/he still wants it 72 hours later? 59．Do you think the “72-hour rule” is useful? Why or why not? Passage14（2025·江苏·二模） 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 China is taking great strides (进展) to help people manage their weight and lead healthier lives. The government has started a three-year “Weight Management Year” program from 2024 to 2027 to fight obesity (肥胖), which can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease. Here’s what you should know. Firstly, it is necessary to check your BMI (Body Mass Index). For adults, a healthy BMI falls within the range of 18. 5 to 24. If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are considered overweight; a BMI of 28 or higher shows obesity. Moreover, doctors recommend measuring your waist: men should keep it under 90 cm, and women under 85 cm. Eating right is important, and exercise matters just as much. When it comes to diet, choose whole grains like brown rice, fresh vegetables, and fish, chicken, or beans. Say no to fried foods and sugary snacks, and also limit your salt and oil intake. When exercising, aim for 150 to 300 minutes of activities like walking, cycling or dancing each week, and strength exercises twice a week. If you find yourself sitting for hours while studying, make sure to stand up and stretch (伸展) for 3 to 5 minutes every hour. Besides diet and exercise, small daily habits can also make a big difference. Teens should get 7 hours of sleep nightly, as poor sleep can make them put on weight. Try eating vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread during meals to control part sizes. Schools and communities are also paying attention to it. For example, schools in Shanghai now make sure that students do at least two hours of daily exercise, and hospitals offer “weight clinics” with diet plans, exercise tips, and even traditional Chinese methods like acupuncture (针灸). By 2030, China hopes to slow down the growth of obesity through education and support. Remember, losing weight isn’t about perfection—simply start with small changes, like having water instead of soda or taking the stairs instead of lift. With these effortless steps, everyone can build a healthier future. （请将答案写在答题卡上） 60．In which way is China taking great strides according to the passage? 61．What are you considered if your BMI is 27? 62．How long should you stand up and stretch when keeping sitting for hours? 63．What influence may poor sleep have on teens according to the passage? 64．What action will you take to keep healthy in your daily life?（请自拟一句话作答） Passage15（2025·江苏苏州·二模） “I am a normal 20-year-old man,” Liu Chunhe, a young man with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), says in the movie Big World. The movie came out on Dec 27, 2024. It shows a summer Liu spends with his family. He tries to make his grandmother’s dream of playing the drums come true.

Passage17（2025·山东菏泽·二模） 阅读下面短文，完成相关任务。 Great inventions are changing and improving our lives in many ways. A 3D printer, one of the great inventions, is like a magical machine. It can make objects into real things from computer designs. What is more amazing, two young scientists made a special 3D food printer in Qatar. It can use bits of vegetables to create food! These smart students, Annan and Mansoori, are students at Carnegie Mellon University in Doha. To make the 3D carrot, they first used very small parts of a real carrot and made lots of them in a science lab. Then they used these tiny parts like ink (墨水) in their printer to make the carrot. By using vegetable cells (细胞) and ultraviolet (紫外线) (UV) , a new carrot is printed. UV light is a kind of energy that helps stick the carrot bits together. The invention may help with food safety. They chose carrots in the test because scientists knew a lot about how carrot parts grew into plants. Mansoori said 3D-printed food can be made cheaply. It doesn’t require large areas of land. It also does not require maintenance (维护) costs. 3D-printed carrots are cheaper than real carrots. Today, 733 million people are facing hunger. Mansoori hopes 3D printers will be used in restaurants, supermarkets, and hospitals. The purpose, she said, is to make food reachable to people all over the world. 73．What can the special 3D food printer do? 74．Where do Annan and Mansoori study? 75．How is a new carrot printed? 76．Why did they choose carrots in the test? 77．What is the purpose of the invention of 3D food printers? Passage18（2025·山东淄博·二模） 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。 A group of young people often went fishing in a small deep lake. To their surprise, there was a fisherman always fishing in a part of the river not far from the small lake. The young people thought the fisherman was silly. How could he catch fish in such big waves (波浪)? It was wishful thinking. They thought the old man would leave in a few days, but a month later, the old man was still fishing in the rapid river. One day, one of the young men asked the fisherman, “It’s impossible to catch fish in these rapid waters. Why are you still here? ” the fisherman said nothing, but picked up his basket and put it upside down. Suddenly a number of fish fell off the basket. These fish that were jumping up and down on the ground were so big and fat. The young man was very surprised. Why did the fisherman catch such big fish in such a quick water? The fisherman smiled and said, “The low oxygen (氧气) in the lake is enough for small fish, But these big fish need to have more oxygen in water. They can only go somewhere with big waves. There’s more oxygen in the bigger waves, so there are more big fish there. ”Again the fisherman said, “Many people think that the places with big waves are not right for fish to live, so they choose to fish in a quiet deep lake. But they are just wrong. Strong winds and waves seem to be the suffering (磨难) for fish, but these sufferings are the best oxygen feeder for fish. Only through these hardships can fish grow well. ” 78．Why did the young people think the fisherman was silly at first? 79．How did the fisherman prove he could catch fish in the rapid river? 80．According to the fisherman, why do big fish choose to live in waters with big waves? 81．What does the underlined word “sufferings” mean in the last paragraph? 82．What lesson does the story want to teach us? Passage19（2025·山东淄博·二模） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Kongming Lanterns, also known as sky lanterns, have a long and fascinating history. Legend (传说) has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang first invented them. When he was in a difficult situation, he made lanterns with thin paper and let them fly into the sky, successfully sending messages. This is how Kongming Lanterns got their name. In ancient times, Kongming Lanterns were used in the army. As time went by, people began to see them as symbols of hope and good luck. Kongming Lanterns are an important part of Chinese culture. They are often seen as a way to pray for good luck. People write their wishes on the lanterns and then let them fly into the sky, believing that their dreams will come true. During festivals like the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, Kongming Lanterns light up the night sky, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. The traditional way to make a Kongming Lantern is quite simple. First, make a bamboo frame to form the shape of the lantern. Next, cover it with thin and lightweight paper. Finally, attach a small fuel block (燃料块) at the bottom. In modern times, there have been many innovations (创新). Some people use LED lights instead of fuel blocks, because they are safer and can save more energy. Some are made of environmentally friendly materials. However, the release of Kongming Lanterns also brings some problems. They can cause fires if they fall on dry grass or trees. Moreover, when they are thrown-away, they can pollute the environment. To solve these problems, we should choose open areas away from buildings and forests when flying them. And we should try to use environmentally friendly lanterns. Nowadays, Kongming Lanterns are used in creative ways. They are often used in art exhibitions. They are also a popular choice for weddings. In the future, with the development of technology, Kongming Lanterns may be controlled smartly, making them safer and more interesting. Kongming Lanterns are not only a traditional cultural symbol but also a source of joy. While we enjoy the beauty and fun they bring, we should also take environmental protection and safety into consideration. Let’s work together to pass on this wonderful tradition. 请务必将小题的答案写在答题卡的相应位置！ 83．According to legend, how did Zhuge Liang send messages? 84．How many steps are there in making a traditional Kongming Lantern? 85．Why do modern Kongming Lanterns use LED lights instead of fuel blocks? 86．Where are Kongming Lanterns often used nowadays? 87．If you have a Kongming Lantern, what wishes will you write on it? Passage20（2025·山西太原·二模） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Should books have happy endings? Both parents and teachers want children to stay hopeful and positive. That’s why they think children’s books should have happy endings. What You Need to Know: ◇Children’s books often have happy endings where good beats bad and the main characters find happiness. ◇Even so, there are plenty of children’s stories that don’t finish on a happy ending. In a version (版本) of fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, written by the French writer Charles Perrault in 1697, the girl is eaten by the wolf. There are lots of other classic children’s stories with sad endings, too. ◇In 2024, a children’s writer named Michael Morpurgo said that some people think his books are too sad. But he believes that children can deal with sadness. A Book ReviewPrivate Peaceful (《柑橘与柠檬啊》) by Michael Morpurgo is really a sad story, which shows how terrible the war can be. It breaks up families and takes away good people’s lives. The story makes me feel very sad, but after reading, I have learned to face and manage my feelings. Also I can better understand the value of peace. Sammy,10 What do you think? Should children’s books always have happy endings? Here are some different ideas. ◇Happy endings make children feel good, so they will have an active attitude towards life. ◇Children might lose interest in reading when sad endings make them feel down. Feeling good could encourage them to keep reading. ◇A happy ending doesn’t mean a straightforward (平铺直叙的) one. Stories that end happily can still be surprising and exciting along the way. ◇The misery (悲惨的境遇) which sad endings describe makes children understand the truth of life—filled with ups and downs. ◇Sad endings allow children to experience bad feelings like disappointment, so that they can have sympathy (同情心) for others’ sufferings (遭遇). ◇Reading a book is boring if you know for sure that everything will work out in the end. 88．Why do parents and teachers think children’s books should have happy endings? 89．What is the purpose of talking about Sammy’s book review? 90．What is the result for children when sad endings make them feel down? 91．How do sad endings influence children in a good way? (One example is OK) 92．Do you think that children’s books should always have a happy ending? Why or why not? Passage21（2025·湖南长沙·二模） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Robots Dance Yangko at 2025 CCTV Spring Festival Gala On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed the audience at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, China’s most-watched TV show. Directed by the famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun handkerchiefs (转手绢) quickly and formed creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their CCTV Spring Festival Gala robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced with the singer Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the stage. Their strong joints (关节) (like knees with 360 Nm power) helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations (创新), the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” spread quickly. Young viewers called it “cool”, while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit. The YangBOT program is a perfect mix of China’s tech progress and cultural pride. As one fan said, “It’s like watching the future and past dance together!” 93．Who directed the YangBOT performance? 94．What were the humanoid robots like? 95．How did the robots learn their dance moves? 96．What two things does the YangBOT program mix? 97．If you were to design a robot for a cultural performance, what traditional part would you include?

The young man loved working with wood, but he hardly ever created furniture that was both strong and beautiful. He had tried making pieces on his own, but they often fell apart or looked messy. Hearing that the old carpenter was famous for his patience and perfect craftsmanship, the young man hoped to learn the skills from him. However, he was always hurrying to finish things. After a few days of learning, the young man thought, “I can make furniture faster.” The old carpenter noticed this and said, “I can teach you to make furniture quickly, but first, you need to do a simple job.” He then handed the young man a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The young man thought it was easy at first. He sanded (用砂纸打磨) the board a few times and soon gave it back. The old carpenter felt the board and said, “It is not smooth enough. Try again.” A little impatient, the young man sanded harder. But the old carpenter shook his head once again. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror. This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson: Success needs not only skill but also patience.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things but also about shaping the mind. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 98．Where did the old famous carpenter live? 99．Why did the young man come to learn from the old carpenter? 100．What did the young man think of making the board smooth at first? 101．How did the young man make the board as smooth as a mirror? 102．What important lesson did the young man learn?

For your safety, learn these tips (建议) and try to be a good runner! Take your time If you develop an interest in running, you may want to run often. However, overdoing it or pushing yourself too hard can cause you to get hurt. It’s also important not to run too fast at the beginning. Run at a pace (步速) that feels comfortable. And if you’re planning on a long run, remember to increase your pace slowly. Take breaks Resting is as important as training. Your body needs time to rest after hard runs. Running coach Sam Murphy says that if you run hard one day, you should take a break or do an easier run the next day. Some runners follow the 80/20 plan: 80% of their runs each week are easy, and only 20% are hard. Have a strong body According to Runner’s World, strength (力量) training is great for runners. It can help make your body stronger, lower the risk of getting hurt, and even improve your speed. However, this doesn’t mean you need to do heavy weight training. Simple exercise at home, like sit-ups and push-ups, can be good too. Have a good diet Eating and drinking the right things is also important. “Many people forget this,” Dr. Paul Hobrough said. “Drink plenty of water and eat foods rich in protein (蛋白质), like eggs, chicken and milk. These can help your energy return quickly.” 103．To be a good runner, what should you do at the beginning of a long run? 104．According to Runner’s World, what can help lower the risk of getting hurt? 105．Why is it important for the runners to have a good diet? 106．Which of the tips can improve your running habit?

Passage24（2025·河北廊坊·二模） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Stories about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) date back to 5,000 years ago, when Shen Nong tasted different plants to see which could be used as medicine. Nowadays, the old saying “good medicine tastes bitter” may not longer be true in China. Feeling tired, a 20-year-old college student named Xi Linjie Went to a Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Chongqing. To her surprise, she got a cup of sweet milk tea instead of medicine. The tea was both delicious and healthy. This special milk tea is made by the hospital’s nutrition (营养) team. They mix old Chinese medicine with modern food. “Milk tea is popular among young people. We hope it can be a bridge for them to increase knowledge of TCM and to accept TCM,” said Liao Changying, the leader of the team. She noted that almost every person who had tried the milk tea would share the special experience with their family and friends. In Chongqing, there is also a TCM night market, which is held every weekend. People can get free health service there. A man said, “I never realized TCM could be so close to our daily lives.” Over half of the visitors are young people who come to ask for professional advice. It shows that the younger ones are more and more confident in TCM nowadays. 107．What does the underlined sentence “good medicine tastes bitter” mean in Chinese? 108．Why was Xi Linjie surprised? 109．How did the hospital make the milk tea special? 110．What can people get from the TCM night market in Chongqing? 111．Do you like TCM? Why or why not? Passage25（2025·北京门头沟·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Should We Have a Weekly Screen-free Day? Have you ever asked someone a question, but they didn’t reply because they were looking at their phone or tablet (平板电脑)? Or maybe you planned to play a game online for just 10 minutes, but when you checked the time, hours have passed. People are using technology more than ever before. That’s why the charity Fairplay wants people to really think about how much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. Fairplay wants people to devote (留出) one day a week to living without screens. It says that this will help people “take the time we need to focus on our families and our well-being”. Is this realistic (现实可行的) now? And what if using screens makes you happier? What do you think? Should people have one screen-free day a week? Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep. It also makes it harder for young people to focus for a long time. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, so is free time. Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. Whether it’s playing sports, painting or reading a book, a day offline would help people focus on their hobbies. Hobbies can make people feel more rested and relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would also bring families together. Screens can take away the quality time they spend with loved ones and can even cause arguments. A day without screens is a simple idea that the whole family can follow. But some people have different ideas. They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. Scrolling (滑动浏览) on social media can make us feel like we’re missing out, while receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make us feel happy right now. In fact, research has shown that screen time can improve young people’s education and development. It’s also unrealistic to spend a whole day offline—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. It’s not wise, either. What if we’re in an emergency and need to reach someone? Surely, it’s better to take short breaks every day and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is what we should aim for. 112．What does the charity Fairplay want people to really think about? 113．What does “less time spent online” mean? 114．What do some people think we should do instead of banning technology for one day a week? 115．Would you like to have one screen-free day a week? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.) Passage26（2025·山东淄博·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 It’s hard for a foreigner to tell a Chinese city exactly, but Stephen did it.

While there aren’t any large, traditional parks in my neighbourhood, I’m lucky to have a few pocket parks nearby. And they can provide a quick and easy escape for me whenever the boredom hits me. Known as mini-parks or green pockets, pocket parks are simply smaller green spaces. These parks can be found in various locations, such as open spaces between buildings, street corners, or even on rooftops (屋顶), all of which are within walking distance (距离). Although pocket parks are small, they are nicely designed with different kinds of plants. In these beautiful places, you can take a walk, have a picnic with friends, or even do some light exercise like tai chi or yoga. Some pocket parks also have play areas for children, making them perfect for families to enjoy time together. What makes pocket parks truly special is their ability to serve as gathering spots (聚集场所) for local communities. They offer a space where neighbours can meet, chat, and get to know each other. Even a simple smile or friendly nod can brighten someone’s day. The warm atmosphere brings people closer and makes them feel comfortable in their neighbourhoods. By offering cleaner air and peaceful spaces for people to relax, pocket parks are part of a larger effort to make the city more livable. Many cities in China are now leading the way in developing pocket parks. Shenyang, with over 3,000 pocket parks, has become the city with the most pocket parks in China. And in Linyi, there are more than 1000 pocket parks now. 121．When the writer feels bored, where does he/she like to go? 122．What are pocket parks also known as? 123．Why are pocket parks suitable for families? 124．What role do pocket parks play in local communities? 125．What is the main idea of this passage?

Youtiao usually comes in pairs. Do you know why? Experiments have proven that only by sticking two strips of dough (生面团) together and frying them can youtiao expand enough and become crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. In most cases, people eat youtiao in the morning. Generally, youtiao is paired with soya milk (豆浆), porridge or tofu pudding. Nowadays, there are many creative ways to enjoy youtiao. For example, it can be eaten with hot pot, dipped in sugar, or even coated with chocolate. You may not know that youtiao is over 800 years old! It first appeared during the Southern Song Dynasty, and there’s a fun story about it. At that time, there was a very brave general named Yue Fei. He led his army to many victories. However, an official named Qin Hui and his wife were jealous of Yue Fei’s achievements, so they made up false charges (虚假指控) against him. Finally, Yue Fei was sadly killed. The people were very angry, but they couldn’t openly fight against Qin Hui. So they came up with a clever idea: they shaped dough into the form of two people, representing Qin Hui and his wife, and then fried them in oil, calling it “Fried Hui (油炸桧)”. Later, the fried dough became what we now call youtiao. But this is just a story-real history may be simpler: it’s just an ancient fried snack! 6．Why are two strips of dough stuck together and fried? 7．What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? 8．Which hero is youtiao connected with? 9．How did people in Song Dynasty show their anger to Qin Hui? 10．Do you like youtiao for breakfast?

With a compass (罗盘), we knew it pointed in the direction of Skeleton Island, where the treasure is. It reminded the pirates of the Captain Flint’s story and they started discussing his death. When we rested, we heard a voice singing from the trees, similar to Flint’s. The pirates were all frightened. “Someone is playing a trick on us.” said Silver. The men started to feel better. However, the voice called out again, which made pirates look around in fear. Silver said, “I was never afraid of Flint when he was alive, and neither I am now. I won’t turn back on treasure quite near.” With this, the men’s spirits returned. They picked up things and we continued walking. Along the way, I was worried about Silver. I believe he could kill everyone to keep the treasure for himself. One pirate shouted and the others started running but stopped at a great big hole. All the signs clearly showed treasure was not there. A fight was about to happen, but Silver acted faster. When I and Silver were prepared for the attack, the doctor, Gray and Ben Gunn came out and joined us. As we walked to boats, the doctor told the story. “Two months ago, Ben found treasure and carried it to a cave. When we arrived, I met Gunn,” continued the doctor. “Then when I couldn’t see the ship, I visited Silver and gave him the useless map. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit. So I left squire and captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit (坑) in time. Gunn went before me, as he could move faster and worked on the pirates’ fears by singing and calling out, with great success.” — Adapted from Treasure island 11．What did the skeleton remind the pirates of? 12．How did pirates feel when he first heard the song from the trees? 13．Why was Jim worried about Silver along the way? 14．Who sang the song at the beginning of the story? 15．Do you think Ben Gunn’s idea is good?

Passage5（2025·内蒙古包头·二模） Recently, community canteens have become popular among young people. At first, community canteens mostly served old people. As the elderly may face challenges in cooking, and many young people cannot cook, these canteens have become perfect places for the two generations (一代人) to become meal friends. Community canteens bring some surprises. They meet the dining habits of young people in a number of ways. For example, the vegetarian (素食的) restaurants in Hangzhou have meals including a main dish, a bowl of rice, soup, fruit salad, and a side dish. Hu Yifan, head of the canteen, said 70 percent of its customers are young people. A canteen in Beijing even introduced self-service meals. The buffer-style (自助式的) dishes there are priced at just 2.48 yuan per 100 grams. This price is lower than the restaurants nearby. The canteen has attracted many customers in and out of the neighborhood. People can get cheap meals from community canteens. For only 20 yuan, Fang Wenjing, who works in the office, ordered a well-balanced lunch at a community canteen in the city. It included a meat dish, a vegetable dish and a bowl of rice. “The dishes have a home-cooked taste, just as I expected. The canteen is also clean,” said Fang: “While it’s a community canteen, it can just as easily be described as a Western restaurant. It is beautifully designed.

Passage6（2025·山东临沂·二模） 阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。 In many countries of the world, people are saying, “We must do something about our rubbish. We don’t want our world to become one big landfill site (垃圾填埋场).” In Ireland, the government was very worried about plastic bags so they asked people to pay for them. Since 2002, Irish people have been paying for the bags they take home from the shops. Of course, they soon stopped buying new bags and started taking bags with them when shopping. Some countries have made even bigger changes. In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags. They were worried the bags were killing fish and sea animals. They also said that nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. So there were no plastic bags in the country soon. One of the most exciting recycling ideas is Freecycle. It has grown around the world. People join a Freecycle group because they are looking for things or have things that they want to give to other people. Perhaps they have a chair they do not need any more, or they want a camera. They leave a message on the Internet to tell people what they want or what they are going to give. Nobody buys or sells anything—people give things to other people who want them. It is a good idea because it recycles useful things. Recycling is important and sometimes it is exciting too. Using less and reusing are also important answers to the problem of rubbish. 23．What did the Ireland government ask people to do? 24．Why were there no plastic bags in Zanzibar? 25．Why is Freecycle a good idea? 26．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) about recycling? 27．As a student, what should you do to solve the problem of rubbish in your daily life? 【答案】23．The government asked people to pay for plastic bags. 24．Because the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags and nobody could bring plastic bags into the country. 25．Because it recycles useful things. 26．Positive./Supportive. 27．I should recycle books and paper. 【导语】本文主要讲述了不同国家如何处理垃圾问题，特别是塑料垃圾，以及回收利用的创新方法。 23．根据“In Ireland, the government was very worried about plastic bags so they asked people to pay for them.”可知，爱尔兰政府要求人们为塑料袋付费。故填The government asked people to pay for plastic bags. 24．根据“In 2006, the people of Zanzibar decided to stop making plastic bags...

Passage7（2025·江苏常州·二模） Nowadays, typing or texting is taking the place of the strokes (笔画) of Chinese characters. For this reason, people are paying less attention to handwriting. As a result, they can’t even remember exactly how to write a given character sometimes. This is called “character amnesia (提笔忘字)”. To change the situation, the TV program named Chinese Character Dictation (听写) Competition came out. Meng Man, who teaches at Minzu University of China, took part in the competition as a judge. “I was surprised by some competitors because I couldn’t even remember how to write certain characters, but they could,” she said. “Now many adults have trouble writing Chinese characters. The program is really great, since it draws people’s attention to this problem.” When typing or texting, most people use a system where they type out the pinyin of a character and then get a list of all possible Chinese characters. They just need to choose the one they want from the list. The bad thing about the system is that it stops people from thinking about how a Chinese character is formed. “Chinese characters are usually square. They teach people to be upright (正直的). Typing or texting will influence people’s understanding of the traditional culture behind the Chinese characters,”Meng said. To solve the problem of “character amnesia”, experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting. In this way, they can avoid forgetting how to write characters. 28．What problem do some people face according to Paragraph 1? 29．What does Meng Man think of the TV program? 30．What advice do experts give to deal with “character amnesia”? 31．Do you think it’s necessary for us to write Chinese characters? Why? 【答案】28．Some people face the problem of “character amnesia”. 29．Meng Man thinks the TV program is really great. 30．Experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting. 31．I think it’s necessary for us to write Chinese characters. Because writing by hand helps us remember the characters’ strokes and structure, preventing “character amnesia”. 【导语】本文主要讲述了由于打字或发短信取代了汉字的笔画，导致人们对汉字书写的关注度极低，甚至有时会忘记如何正确书写某个汉字，这种现象被称为“提笔忘字”。为了改变这种情况，电视节目《中国汉字听写大会》应运而生，旨在引起人们对汉字书写的重视。专家建议人们将手机短信方式从拼音改为手写，避免忘记如何书写汉字。 28．根据第一段“As a result, they can’t even remember exactly how to write a given character sometimes. This is called ‘character amnesia’.”可知，人们有时会忘记如何书写某个汉字，面临着提笔忘字的问题。故填Some people face the problem of “character amnesia”. 29．根据第二段“The program is really great, since it draws people’s attention to this problem”可知，孟曼认为这个电视节目非常棒。故填Meng Man thinks the TV program is really great. 30．根据最后一段“experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting”可知，专家建议人们将手机短信方式从拼音改为手写。故填Experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting. 31．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为I think it’s necessary for us to write Chinese characters. Because writing by hand helps us remember the characters’ strokes and structure, preventing “character amnesia”. Passage8（2025·重庆·二模） 阅读下列材料，根据文章内容回答问题。 Where will you go when you are free?

Passage10（2025·北京房山·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Walking Barefoot Barefoot walking has a long history and we can’t say it was started by just one person. In 2009, Christopher McDougall published the book Barn to Run, which tells the story of the Tarahumara people in Mexico who run long distances barefoot. George Woodville is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media. He shares his barefoot experiences with strangers online. Many people liked his videos and tried walking barefoot. World Barefoot Day is on the first Saturday of June every year. This day encourages people to walk without shoes. The aim is to make more people know about poor children who can’t afford shoes. Some groups also start activities to collect and give away shoes and money. If you want to try walking barefoot, you can practise at home or in a safe place. Make sure to check your feet for cuts after each walk and keep your feet clean. Walking barefoot can offer surprising health benefits. Taking time each day to walk barefoot or step outside and put your feet in the grass can improve your physical and mental health. Walking without shoes can strengthen the muscles of the feet. People who run without shoes usually have larger leg and foot muscles. What’s more, it helps us improve our balance and posture (体态). Walking barefoot is also good for our mental health. While walking around barefoot can have many benefits and positive effects on your health, you have to remember that humans invented shoes for a reason. Sure, there are plenty of benefits to walking around barefoot some of the time, but that doesn’t mean that you should just throw away all of your shoes and go all natural all the time. The most obvious reason for wearing shoes is to protect our feet from environments. Sometimes, we might step on something and get our feet cut. And walking barefoot in some public places may put us at risk of getting diseases like athlete’s foot. Also, if we’re not used to it, it might be a bit hard on our joints (关节). Although there are some risks, the benefits of walking barefoot are really amazing! 41．Who is called “Barefoot Guy” on social media? 42．When is World Barefoot Day? 43．Where can you practise walking barefoot? 44．Would you like to try walking barefoot? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons,) 【答案】41．George Woodville. 42．On the first Saturday of June every year. 43．At home or in a safe place 44． Yes. First, walking without shoes can strengthen the muscles of the feet. Second, it helps me improve my balance and posture. 【导语】本文主要讨论了赤脚行走的历史、相关人物、世界赤脚日、赤脚行走的益处与风险等内容。 41．根据文中“George Woodville is called ‘Barefoot Guy’ on social media.”可知，George Woodville在社交媒体上被称为“赤脚人”。故填George Woodville. 42．根据文中“World Barefoot Day is on the first Saturday of June every year.”可知，世界赤脚日在每年六月的第一个星期六。故填On the first Saturday of June every year. 43．根据文中“If you want to try walking barefoot, you can practise at home or in a safe place.”可知，如果想尝试赤脚行走，可以在家里或者安全的地方练习。故填At home or in a safe place. 44．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和个人理解来回答。故填Yes.

If you are too young to spend freely, think about your favorite snack. We often know what we should do, but why do we keep doing the opposite? Many people turn to experts for advice. They tell you to keep away from social media and friends who overspend to control the stimulus (刺激). Then, the experts suggest you control your spending: Cut up your credit cards. Such advice helps at first, but soon it stops working. Let’s face it: You can’t avoid every advertisement pushing you to buy something.

The government has started a three-year “Weight Management Year” program from 2024 to 2027 to fight obesity (肥胖), which can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease. Here’s what you should know. Firstly, it is necessary to check your BMI (Body Mass Index). For adults, a healthy BMI falls within the range of 18. 5 to 24. If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are considered overweight; a BMI of 28 or higher shows obesity. Moreover, doctors recommend measuring your waist: men should keep it under 90 cm, and women under 85 cm. Eating right is important, and exercise matters just as much. When it comes to diet, choose whole grains like brown rice, fresh vegetables, and fish, chicken, or beans. Say no to fried foods and sugary snacks, and also limit your salt and oil intake. When exercising, aim for 150 to 300 minutes of activities like walking, cycling or dancing each week, and strength exercises twice a week. If you find yourself sitting for hours while studying, make sure to stand up and stretch (伸展) for 3 to 5 minutes every hour. Besides diet and exercise, small daily habits can also make a big difference. Teens should get 7 hours of sleep nightly, as poor sleep can make them put on weight. Try eating vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread during meals to control part sizes. Schools and communities are also paying attention to it. For example, schools in Shanghai now make sure that students do at least two hours of daily exercise, and hospitals offer “weight clinics” with diet plans, exercise tips, and even traditional Chinese methods like acupuncture (针灸). By 2030, China hopes to slow down the growth of obesity through education and support. Remember, losing weight isn’t about perfection—simply start with small changes, like having water instead of soda or taking the stairs instead of lift. With these effortless steps, everyone can build a healthier future. （请将答案写在答题卡上） 60．In which way is China taking great strides according to the passage? 61．What are you considered if your BMI is 27? 62．How long should you stand up and stretch when keeping sitting for hours? 63．What influence may poor sleep have on teens according to the passage? 64．What action will you take to keep healthy in your daily life?（请自拟一句话作答） 【答案】60．To help/Helping people manage their weight and lead healthier lives. 61．Overweight. 62．For 3 to 5 minutes every hour. 63．Poor sleep can make them put on weight. 64．I will exercise more in my daily life. 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国启动了“体重管理年”计划来对抗肥胖，介绍了该计划的相关指南，包括如何通过检查BMI和腰围来判断体重是否健康，以及饮食和运动方面的建议等。 60．根据“China is taking great strides (进展) to help people manage their weight and lead healthier lives”可知中国正在大力帮助人们控制体重，过上更健康的生活。故填To help/Helping people manage their weight and lead healthier lives. 61．根据“If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are considered overweight”可知如果你的BMI在24到28之间，你就被认为超重。故填Overweight. 62．根据“If you find yourself sitting for hours while studying, make sure to stand up and stretch (伸展) for 3 to 5minutes every hour.”可知如果你发现自己在学习时坐了几个小时，一定要每小时站起来伸展3到5分钟。故填For 3 to 5 minutes every hour. 63．根据“as poor sleep can make them put on weight.”可知睡眠不好会导致体重增加。故填Poor sleep can make them put on weight. 64．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为I will exercise more in my daily life.

Passage18（2025·山东淄博·二模） 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。 A group of young people often went fishing in a small deep lake. To their surprise, there was a fisherman always fishing in a part of the river not far from the small lake. The young people thought the fisherman was silly. How could he catch fish in such big waves (波浪)? It was wishful thinking. They thought the old man would leave in a few days, but a month later, the old man was still fishing in the rapid river. One day, one of the young men asked the fisherman, “It’s impossible to catch fish in these rapid waters. Why are you still here? ” the fisherman said nothing, but picked up his basket and put it upside down. Suddenly a number of fish fell off the basket. These fish that were jumping up and down on the ground were so big and fat. The young man was very surprised. Why did the fisherman catch such big fish in such a quick water? The fisherman smiled and said, “The low oxygen (氧气) in the lake is enough for small fish, But these big fish need to have more oxygen in water. They can only go somewhere with big waves. There’s more oxygen in the bigger waves, so there are more big fish there. ”Again the fisherman said, “Many people think that the places with big waves are not right for fish to live, so they choose to fish in a quiet deep lake.

Why are you still here?”可知因为他们认为在这么大的波浪里是不可能钓到鱼的。故填Because they believed it was impossible to catch fish in such big waves. 79．根据“the fisherman said nothing, but picked up his basket and put it upside down. Suddenly a number of fish fell off the basket.”可知渔夫通过倒出篮子里的鱼来证明。故填He turned his basket upside down and showed the big fish he caught. 80．根据“There’s more oxygen in the bigger waves, so there are more big fish there.”可知大浪水域含氧量更高，适合大鱼生存。故填Because bigger waves provide more oxygen, which big fish need.（其他正确的表达方式也可） 81．根据“Strong winds and waves seem to be the suffering (磨难) for fish, but these sufferings are the best oxygen feeder”可知狂风巨浪似乎是鱼的苦难，但这些苦难却是最好的供氧器,“sufferings”指对鱼的磨难。故填Difficulties/ Hardships. 82．根据“Only through these hardships can fish grow well”可知困难（如巨浪）可以帮助我们成长，就像它们帮助鱼一样。故填Hardships (like strong waves) can help us grow, just as they help fish.（其他正确的表达方式也可） Passage19（2025·山东淄博·二模） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Kongming Lanterns, also known as sky lanterns, have a long and fascinating history. Legend (传说) has it that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang first invented them. When he was in a difficult situation, he made lanterns with thin paper and let them fly into the sky, successfully sending messages. This is how Kongming Lanterns got their name.

The traditional way to make a Kongming Lantern is quite simple. First, make a bamboo frame to form the shape of the lantern. Next, cover it with thin and lightweight paper. Finally, attach a small fuel block (燃料块) at the bottom. In modern times, there have been many innovations (创新). Some people use LED lights instead of fuel blocks, because they are safer and can save more energy. Some are made of environmentally friendly materials. However, the release of Kongming Lanterns also brings some problems. They can cause fires if they fall on dry grass or trees. Moreover, when they are thrown-away, they can pollute the environment. To solve these problems, we should choose open areas away from buildings and forests when flying them. And we should try to use environmentally friendly lanterns. Nowadays, Kongming Lanterns are used in creative ways. They are often used in art exhibitions. They are also a popular choice for weddings. In the future, with the development of technology, Kongming Lanterns may be controlled smartly, making them safer and more interesting.

Both parents and teachers want children to stay hopeful and positive. That’s why they think children’s books should have happy endings. What You Need to Know: ◇Children’s books often have happy endings where good beats bad and the main characters find happiness. ◇Even so, there are plenty of children’s stories that don’t finish on a happy ending. In a version (版本) of fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, written by the French writer Charles Perrault in 1697, the girl is eaten by the wolf. There are lots of other classic children’s stories with sad endings, too. ◇In 2024, a children’s writer named Michael Morpurgo said that some people think his books are too sad. But he believes that children can deal with sadness. A Book ReviewPrivate Peaceful (《柑橘与柠檬啊》) by Michael Morpurgo is really a sad story, which shows how terrible the war can be. It breaks up families and takes away good people’s lives. The story makes me feel very sad, but after reading, I have learned to face and manage my feelings. Also I can better understand the value of peace. Sammy,10 What do you think? Should children’s books always have happy endings? Here are some different ideas. ◇Happy endings make children feel good, so they will have an active attitude towards life. ◇Children might lose interest in reading when sad endings make them feel down. Feeling good could encourage them to keep reading. ◇A happy ending doesn’t mean a straightforward (平铺直叙的) one. Stories that end happily can still be surprising and exciting along the way. ◇The misery (悲惨的境遇) which sad endings describe makes children understand the truth of life—filled with ups and downs. ◇Sad endings allow children to experience bad feelings like disappointment, so that they can have sympathy (同情心) for others’ sufferings (遭遇). ◇Reading a book is boring if you know for sure that everything will work out in the end. 88．Why do parents and teachers think children’s books should have happy endings? 89．What is the purpose of talking about Sammy’s book review? 90．What is the result for children when sad endings make them feel down? 91．How do sad endings influence children in a good way? (One example is OK) 92．Do you think that children’s books should always have a happy ending? Why or why not? 【答案】88．Because they want children to stay hopeful and positive./To make children stay hopeful and positive. 89．To show that children can/are able to deal with sadness. 90．The result is that children might lose interest in reading. 91．They can make children understand the truth of life./Children can have sympathy for others’ sufferings./They can make reading more interesting./By making children understand the truth of life./By making children have sympathy for others’ sufferings./By making reading more interesting. 92．Yes. Because a happy ending make children feel good/can encourage them to keep reading./No. Because not all problems in life have perfect endings, books with different outcomes can teach children to think more deeply and be more creative when facing real-life situations. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“儿童书籍是否必须拥有快乐结局”展开讨论。文章通过列举经典故事案例（如《小红帽》原始版本）、作家观点（Michael Morpurgo）及读者书评（Sammy），呈现了支持快乐结局（培养乐观态度）与支持悲伤结局（情感教育）的两方论点，最终引导读者思考这一问题。 88．根据“Both parents and teachers want children to stay hopeful and positive. That’s why they think children’s books should have happy endings.”可知，家长和教师希望通过快乐结局保持孩子的乐观心态，故填 Because they want children to stay hopeful and positive./To make children stay hopeful and positive. 89．根据“In 2024, a children’s writer named Michael Morpurgo said that some people think his books are too sad. But he believes that children can deal with sadness.”和“The story makes me feel very sad, but after reading, I have learned to face and manage my feelings. Also I can better understand the value of peace.”可知，书评的目的是为了表明孩子们能够处理悲伤。故填To show that children can/are able to deal with sadness. 90．根据“Children might lose interest in reading when sad endings make them feel down.”可知，悲伤结局可能会使孩子们对阅读失去兴趣，故填The result is that children might lose interest in reading. 91．根据“◇The misery (悲惨的境遇) which sad endings describe makes children understand the truth of life—filled with ups and downs. ◇Sad endings allow children to experience bad feelings like disappointment, so that they can have sympathy (同情心) for others’ sufferings (遭遇).◇Reading a book is boring if you know for sure that everything will work out in the end.”可知，悲伤结局让孩子明白了人生跌宕起伏的真相，悲伤的结局让孩子们体验到失望等不好的感觉，这样他们就会对别人的痛苦产生同情，还会让读书更有意思。故填They can make children understand the truth of life./ Children can have sympathy for others’ sufferings./ They can make reading more interesting./ By making children understand the truth of life./ By making children have sympathy for others’ sufferings./ By making reading more interesting.（任选其一回答即可） 92．开放性问题，答案合理即可。参考答案：Yes.

Directed by the famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese yangko dance with modern robot technology. In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in colorful costumes danced yangko, a joyful folk dance from northern China often seen during festivals. They spun handkerchiefs (转手绢) quickly and formed creative group patterns. These robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their CCTV Spring Festival Gala robot cows named “Ben Ben” danced with the singer Andy Lau. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the stage. Their strong joints (关节) (like knees with 360 Nm power) helped them balance perfectly during fast steps. Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” Thanks to these innovations (创新), the robots won the hearts of millions. On social media, topics like “Robot Yangko” spread quickly. Young viewers called it “cool”, while older audiences loved its humor and festive spirit.

Passage25（2025·北京门头沟·二模） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Should We Have a Weekly Screen-free Day? Have you ever asked someone a question, but they didn’t reply because they were looking at their phone or tablet (平板电脑)? Or maybe you planned to play a game online for just 10 minutes, but when you checked the time, hours have passed. People are using technology more than ever before. That’s why the charity Fairplay wants people to really think about how much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. Fairplay wants people to devote (留出) one day a week to living without screens. It says that this will help people “take the time we need to focus on our families and our well-being”. Is this realistic (现实可行的) now? And what if using screens makes you happier? What do you think? Should people have one screen-free day a week? Some people think that we are spending too much time online, which can be really bad for our health. Studies have shown that it can affect our sleep. It also makes it harder for young people to focus for a long time. Even though technology is an important part of people’s lives, so is free time. Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. Whether it’s playing sports, painting or reading a book, a day offline would help people focus on their hobbies. Hobbies can make people feel more rested and relaxed. Having one screen-free day a week would also bring families together. Screens can take away the quality time they spend with loved ones and can even cause arguments. A day without screens is a simple idea that the whole family can follow. But some people have different ideas. They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. Scrolling (滑动浏览) on social media can make us feel like we’re missing out, while receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make us feel happy right now. In fact, research has shown that screen time can improve young people’s education and development. It’s also unrealistic to spend a whole day offline—people depend on digital devices to keep in touch. It’s not wise, either. What if we’re in an emergency and need to reach someone? Surely, it’s better to take short breaks every day and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. A healthy balance is what we should aim for. 112．What does the charity Fairplay want people to really think about? 113．What does “less time spent online” mean? 114．What do some people think we should do instead of banning technology for one day a week? 115．Would you like to have one screen-free day a week? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons.) 【答案】112．How much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. 113．Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. 114．We should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. 115．Yes, because it helps focus on hobbies and improves family time. 【导语】本文围绕“是否应该设立每周无屏幕日”展开讨论，分别列举了支持与反对的观点及理由。 112．根据“That’s why the charity Fairplay wants people to really think about how much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers.”可知，Fairplay关注的是人们对电子设备的使用时长。故填How much time they spend using digital devices, like smartphones, tablets or computers. 113．根据“Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world.”可知，减少上网时间意味着更多时间生活在现实世界中。故填Less time spent online means more time to live in the real world. 114．根据“They think instead of banning (禁止) technology for one day a week, we should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel”可知，我们应更关注上网频率及其对情绪的影响。故填We should pay more attention to how often we’re online and how it makes us feel. 115．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案：Yes, because it helps focus on hobbies and improves family time.
