1. (2025·安徽省合肥市瑶海区·中考二模)阅读下列短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
I have enjoyed playing Chinese chess since my childhood. This is not only because of the fun of playing it, but also because of a valuable lesson I once learned from the game.
When I was a boy, my grandfather taught me how to play the game. He was good at it, and we often played together.
One day, I realized that I was defeated (打败) yet again when he loudly said, “Check!” I didn’t feel sad but wondered: Why was I always losing? My grandfather said, “Look before you move.” He took out a notebook where he had recorded our games, pointed out a situation, and asked me to think it over and tell him the best chess move. I did what he asked. After reviewing the game, I realized my mistake and truly understood the importance of “looking before moving.”
I took part in many Chinese competitions. During these competitions, “Look before you move” was always front in my mind. When it was my turn, I would take a deep breath and think it over carefully. I would think of all the possibilities five moves ahead. This method paid off.
I seldom made mistakes. I even once defeated a competitor who had been practicing Chinese chess for five years longer than I had.
I believe that I will continue to improve with my grandfather’s valuable lesson. His words— “Look before you move”—will be in my mind forever.

2. (2025·安徽省合肥市新站区·中考模拟) During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi and Lu were neighboring strong states. Under Duke Huan’s rule, Qi became powerful, while Lu was respected as the land given to the Duke of Zhou.
Duke Huan wanted to control the central areas, so he planned to weaken Lu. He ordered all Qi officials to wear Lu’s gauze (缟布) and didn’t allow Qi people from making their own satin (纨布). All gauze would be bought from Lu. This decision made the price of gauze rise quickly. Lu businessmen got rich by selling gauze to Qi.
Lu farmers stopped growing crops to plant mulberry (桑树) trees for making gauze. Soon, Lu’s fields were full of mulberry trees, not food crops. Lu’s ruler thought happily: “Qi depends on our gauze! Our state will be strong!”
But Duke Huan and his smart advisor Guan Zhong had a secret plan. Months later, Qi suddenly stopped using Lu gauze and stopped selling food to Lu.
This shocked Lu completely. Lu was full of unsold gauze. With no grain left (since they stopped farming), Lu people had no food.
Lu’s ruler finally understood Duke Huan’s idea. He quickly sent messengers (信使) to Qi, asking him to restart trade. But Duke Huan required: Lu must accept Qi’s leadership and pay yearly taxes. Lu had to agree. Qi won the trade war, making Lu weaker.

11. (2025·安徽省安庆市太湖县·中考二模)People usually connect Qing Ming with Jie Zitui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his lord’s (君王) life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small country, he invited his faithful follower (忠诚的追随者) to join him. However, Jie turned down his invitation, preferring to lead a simple life with his mother in the mountains.
Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his surprise, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To make people remember Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out. In this way, the “cold food feast” began, a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.
The “cold food” festival falls on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes the Qing Ming festival took the place of the “cold food” festival. The basic aim of Qing Ming is to remember one’s elders by making a special effort to visit their tombs (坟墓).

19. (2025·安徽省蚌埠市·中考二模)When I was in my first year of high school, I felt so hopeless and lonely that I thought everything was impossible. On one such day, I was walking across the school to catch the school bus home, with my head down, fighting tears of total hopelessness, when a young man came down the sidewalk toward me. Though I had never seen him before, I did not want him to see that I was in such low spirits, so I turned my head away and hoped to pass hurriedly. I thought he’d walk on by, but he moved until he was directly in front of me, waited until I looked up and then smiled.
Looking into my eyes, this stranger spoke in a quiet voice, “Whatever is wrong will pass. You’re going to be OK; just hold on.” He then smiled again and walked away. I can’t explain the effect of that man’s unexpected kindness and caring! He gave me the one thing that I’d lost completely—hope. I looked for him in our school to thank him, but never saw him again.
Over the years, whenever I see someone who is in trouble, I will always think of that young man and try to give a flash of hope in the dark wherever I can. I carry things for people when they are too heavy, talk to tired couples at the checkout line or it could be anything.

On January 28, 2025, a special performance called YangBOT amazed audiences (观众) at the Spring Festival Gala (春晚) . Directed by famous filmmaker Zhang Yimou, the show mixed traditional Chinese Yangko (秧歌) Dance with modern robot technology.
In the performance, humanoid robots (robots shaped like humans) dressed in red costumes danced Yangko, a joyful folk dance from North China. These tall, thin and black robots spun handkerchiefs (转手绢), threw them into the air and caught them again successfully by the music.
The robots were developed by Unitree, a Chinese robotics company. This was not Unitree’s first success—in 2021, their robot cows named “Ben Ben” performed as backup dancers for 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) 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.” 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! ”

22. (2025·安徽省滁州市天长市·中考二模)Millions of moviegoers worldwide have been crazy about the same thing recently the story of a troubled boy with panda eyes and shark-like teeth. Are you one of them?
In the Ne Zha films, the boy named Ne Zha is born from the Demon Orb (魔丸). The villagers all fear him. They expect nothing but trouble from him. But when disaster falls upon his village, Ne Zha rises up like a superhero. He refuses to accept his fate (命运) or be remembered as a demon.
And much like his character director Jiaozi also chose to be the master of his own fate.
He always loved cartoons, but he had to study medicine in college. Then at 21, he once again discovered his dream of being a cartoon maker and decided to teach himself. Many of his friends said he wouldn’t succeed and advised him to give up. But Jiaozi kept “fighting”.
For years, the most popular cartoon movies in China came from Japan or the West. Jiaozi hoped to change this. As the Ne Zha 2 movie became a top hit in the world, it’s clear that Jiaozi’s hope came true.
Perhaps no one ever expects you to enter a speech competition. Or maybe you’ve been told that you aren’t cut out for an activity. Would you just accept this “fate”? I hope Jiaozi and his Ne Zha movies have made you think twice.

23. (2025·安徽省阜阳市临泉县第五中学·中考二模)A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I’m blind. Please help.”
There were only two coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and put them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it.
He gave the sign back to the boy and everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people gave money to the blind boy. That afternoon, the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were going.
The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”
The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I wrote what you wanted to express, but in a different way.”
What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help him by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were such lucky people.

1. (2025·安徽省合肥市瑶海区·中考二模)阅读下列短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)。
I have enjoyed playing Chinese chess since my childhood. This is not only because of the fun of playing it, but also because of a valuable lesson I once learned from the game.
When I was a boy, my grandfather taught me how to play the game. He was good at it, and we often played together.
One day, I realized that I was defeated (打败) yet again when he loudly said, “Check!” I didn’t feel sad but wondered: Why was I always losing? My grandfather said, “Look before you move.” He took out a notebook where he had recorded our games, pointed out a situation, and asked me to think it over and tell him the best chess move. I did what he asked. After reviewing the game, I realized my mistake and truly understood the importance of “looking before moving.”
I took part in many Chinese competitions. During these competitions, “Look before you move” was always front in my mind. When it was my turn, I would take a deep breath and think it over carefully. I would think of all the possibilities five moves ahead. This method paid off.
I seldom made mistakes. I even once defeated a competitor who had been practicing Chinese chess for five years longer than I had.
I believe that I will continue to improve with my grandfather’s valuable lesson. His words— “Look before you move”—will be in my mind forever.

Duke Huan wanted to control the central areas, so he planned to weaken Lu. He ordered all Qi officials to wear Lu’s gauze (缟布) and didn’t allow Qi people from making their own satin (纨布).

11. (2025·安徽省安庆市太湖县·中考二模)People usually connect Qing Ming with Jie Zitui, who lived in Shanxi province in 600 B.C. Legend has it that Jie saved his lord’s (君王) life by serving a piece of his own leg. When the lord succeeded in becoming the ruler of a small country, he invited his faithful follower (忠诚的追随者) to join him. However, Jie turned down his invitation, preferring to lead a simple life with his mother in the mountains.
Believing that he could force Jie out by burning the mountain, the lord ordered his men to set the forest on fire. To his surprise, Jie chose to remain where he was and was burnt to death. To make people remember Jie, the lord ordered all fires in every home to be put out. In this way, the “cold food feast” began, a day when no food could be cooked since no fire could be lit.
The “cold food” festival falls on the eve of Qing Ming and is often considered as part of the Qing Ming festival. As time passes the Qing Ming festival took the place of the “cold food” festival. The basic aim of Qing Ming is to remember one’s elders by making a special effort to visit their tombs (坟墓).

Zhang Yimou explained, “This dance isn’t just fun—it shows how technology can bring new life to traditions.” 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! ”

She always competed with me. She could do a little better than me in exams unless I worked really hard. What’s more, she could even beat me in chess and reading competitions. I was so upset and told my father about it.
My father had a long talk with me. He said, “My girl, this is life: full of chances and challenges. Chances and challenges are competitions. In competitions, there are always winners and losers. In one’s life, there must be competitions, so people can improve.”
I was still not sure what competition really meant. But I knew I must do better than Lucy. Since then, I always tried my best no matter what I did. Two years ago, I became a student of California Institute of Technology.
Looking back on these days competing with Lucy, I’m thankful to her. Competitions can help us be better persons.
