Some people think that saying “yes” to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later. But, for me, saying “yes” has brought chances rather than worries. Here is a good example to show the power of saying “yes” and its effect on my life. My boss once asked me to give a speech to a large group of people. I had never done public speaking before but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then. Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks. Maybe I would never have made so much progress in my job. Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it. Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with, like a task that is outside your comfort zone, can have positive results. Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off. It’s really that simple. 1. Why do some people think saying “yes” to everything is risky? A They will lose chances. B. They are lazy with work. C. People may make more requests. D. Things might go wrong later. 2. The author succeeded in giving the speech because __________. A. he pressed himself for the task B. he admitted his stress C. he has interested in the topic D. he was trusted by his boss 3. What has saying “yes” brought to the author according to Paragraph 3? A. More regrets. B. Personal growth. C. Bigger worries. D. Lifelong friendship. 4. The underlined part in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by ___________. A. pleasing B. important C. challenging D. dangerous 5. The author wrote the passage to __________. A. inspire people to live a simple life B. tell people about his work experience C. remind people of the risks of saying “yes” D. encourage people to say “yes” to challenges Passage B （2023.1・广东春季高考）A new interactive (互动的)map shows which parts of the world have been hit hardest by climate change. The map, called ClimateEX, allows users to see how global warming (全球 变暖)influences temperature and rainfall across the Earth. The map shows, in the UK, areas of eastern Scotland have been most influenced by climate change. In the US, the west coast has seen a rise in temperature and loss of rainfall. The map also shows that over the next 50 years parts of Wales and northeast England will see big changes to their climate. Developed by a scientist at the University of Cincinnati, the map uses 50 years of public climate data from 50, 000 international weather stations around the Earth. It shows not only how the climate has changed, But also what will possibly happen by the year 2070. According to the map, over the next 50 years Central America will be subject to terrible heat and rainfall. Papua New Guinea, southeastern China, the west coast of the US, Greenland and the Arctic are also easily influenced, most importantly for sea level change. ClimateEX can also help users search for places where climate change may lead to extreme phenomena (现象)in the future. The user simply touches the place where storms are frequent at present on the map and then ClimateEX will show all the places where storms are likely to happen in 50 years. 1. A rise in temperature and loss of rainfall have happened in ____. A. the US B. China C. Papua New Guinea D. the UK 2. The map tells the climate change in the future by _. A. setting up weather stations B. recording rainfall C. measuring the sea levels D. using past climate data 3. The underlined phrase be subject to in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ____. A. cause B. suffer C. avoid D. change 4. According to the last paragraph the map can _____. A. reduce the influences of climate change B. change the climates of different countries C. show where extreme climates will happen D. suggest how people deal with climate change 5. What is the best title for the passage? A. Increasing Rainfall B. An Amazing Map C. A Map of the World D. Changeable Climate Passage 1 Dominique Malonga has made sports history. At just 19 years old, she was picked No. 2 by the Seattle Storm in the 2025 WNBA Draft (选拔), becoming the youngest player ever chosen into the women’s basketball league. Before this big moment, Dominique had already played professional (专业的) basketball for four years. In 2024, she helped the French national women’s team win the second place at the Paris Olympics. Many people compare her to another young French basketball star, Victor Wembanyama, who joined the NBA in 2023. Both are very tall-Dominique is 1.98 meters and Wembanyama is 2.21 meters-and very skilled. But Dominique says she is not just “the female version (版本)” of anyone. She wants to be known for who she is: “I play as Dominique,” she said. Dominique’s basketball skills speak for themselves. In 2024, she became the first woman ever to dunk during a game at the Olympic Games. Dunking is common in men’s games, but not very often in women’s basketball. Dominique can also shoot three-pointers and move quickly on the court. Now, she is ready to begin her journey in the WNBA．“I just can’t wait to start and play against anybody. I just want to play,” she said. Dominique Malonga’s story shows that age and being a woman don’t limit (限制) talent or dreams.

People came from far away to buy his furniture (家具). A young man also admired him and came to learn from him. The young man liked working with wood, and he wanted to be a famous carpenter like the old man. But he was always in a hurry to finish things. After learning for a few days, he felt excited because he thought he could 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 gave the young man a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (打磨) the board three 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 again. But the old carpenter shook his head once more. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully once more. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror (镜子). This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skills but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things, but also about shaping the mind.

Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes. “What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way, but I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back,” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance,” his mother said. “But standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there were a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road,” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees, and the sound was very sweet,” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture,” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said, “Please remember, son. Very often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.” It is true that not every goal will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true.

Tim was kind and always ready to help others. One day, while playing in the woods, he found a wounded bird. He picked it up and took it home to nurse it back to health. Tim’s mother helped him make a nice nest for the bird, and they fed it until it was strong enough to fly again. A few days later, as Tim was walking through the forest, he heard the sound of a tree falling. He ran towards the noise and saw a man trapped (被困于) under a fallen tree. The man was in great pain. Tim quickly ran to the nearest village to get help. The villagers came with tools and freed the man. The man turned out to be the king of the land. He had been out for a walk when the accident happened. The king was very grateful to Tim. He wanted to reward (奖赏) Tim, but Tim just smiled and said, “I didn’t do it for a reward. I did it because it was the right thing to do.” The king was touched by Tim’s kindness. He built a new school and a hospital, so that everyone in the village could have a better life.

Passage 5 For Emma, PE class was the most difficult part. She didn’t mind the tiredness but the looks her classmates gave her. Emma was bigger than others of her age. A group of students often ran behind her, laughing and talking about how Emma ran. “Just one more year,” Emma kept telling herself, “one more year and I’ll graduate and won’t have to take this stupid PE class anymore.” But everything changed when a girl called Kit joined the class. She had short hair, bright eyes, and a long scar (伤疤) across the left side of her face. She introduced herself, “Hi, everyone, I’m Kit. I love sports and fashion. You might be wondering about the scar. I got it when I fell off my bike. I see it as a cool mark now.” Emma listened in surprise. How could the girl be so confident? During lunchtime, Emma was sitting at her usual table. Kit walked over to join Emma. Emma couldn’t believe such a confident girl would like to sit with her. She worked up the courage to share what was troubling her. “Hug yourself!” said Kit. Hearing that, Emma felt a wave of warmth wash over her. And she felt the weight lift off her shoulder. It was time for PE class again, but this time Kit was with her. Emma discovered that true confidence comes from within, not from others’ words.

She was paid by her neighbors to walk their dogs because most of them did not get home from work until very late. Sarah would go to their homes, one at a time, and then she would walk each dog for a short time before moving on to the next dog. Normally, Sarah loved her job. In fact, she knew she would need all the money she could get with the plans she had for the future. When she graduated from high school, she wanted to go to college and become a veterinarian. She knew it would take a lot of hard work, but she could not imagine a life in which she couldn’t work with animals. She wanted to help any animal that was hurt or in need. When she was little, she was always trying to put bandages (绷带) on the arms and legs of her toys. This afternoon, however, Sarah just couldn’t enjoy her work. All of her friends were meeting at Castro Theatre. Everyone would be there, except her. As Sarah arrived at the first house, a wonderful idea struck her! She would simply go to each house and get each dog and walk all the dogs at a time. That way, she could still complete her job, get paid, and still have time to go and meet her friends. Thirty minutes later, Sarah knew the wonderful idea was not wonderful at all. She was sitting on the side of the road, desperately (拼命地) trying to untie three different ropes. Two of the dogs would not stop barking at each other, and her arm was tired from trying to keep all the dogs walking and not running. Sarah had learned an important lesson.

Passage 1 Children today would rather read, do housework or even do homework than play outside─and they get out half as much as their parents did when they were young. According to a UK study, those grown-ups during the 1970s and 1980s enjoyed more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday, and nine hours on weekends─whatever the weather is. But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday, and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays. So, the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors. The Wild Network, born on September 25, 2013, is joined by more than 300 organizations, large or small. It tries to attract children away from television and computer screen and into woods and parks. It is the biggest activity ever to reconnect children with nature and outdoor activities, and it plans to help improve children’s health. Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits, camping, watching autumn color on trees and so on. This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were encouraged to do the same by BBC TV show Why don’t you, which encouraged children to “turn off your TV set, and go to do something less boring instead”. You can learn more about the activity by visiting http://www.Projectwildthing.com. 1. We can learn from the second paragraph that ________. A．today’s children have more free time B．today’s children spend more time outdoors C．the parents had more free time when they were young D．the parents spent more time outdoors when they were young 2. The Wild Network was started to encourage ________. A．children to spend more time outdoors B．children to play with their parents outdoors C．children to spend more time on their studies D．parents to spend more time with their children 3. What can we learn about the Wild Network? A．It was set up this year. B．It was the best ever activity. C．Both large organizations or small can join it. D．You can learn about it from the show Why don’t you. 4. Which of the following activities is not mentioned? A．Camping B．Collecting fruits C．Bird watching D．Autumn color watching 5. The underlined part “ do the same” can be replaced by ________. A．start an activity B．play outdoors C．do homework D．do housework Passage 2 According to a new study, good friends are actually the next closest thing to family in genes（基因）. U. S. researchers have found that we are more genetically similar to our friends than to any stranger. The study suggested that genes may influence how we choose our friends. The study looked at the gene information of nearly 2,000 people, who were chosen from a small U.S. town as part of a larger heart study. The study showed that friends share about 0.1 percent more DNA than strangers do. Besides providing DNA information, participants（参与者）in the study were also asked who their closest friends were. Because all of the participants came from such a small community, it made this group suitable for such studies. It has also led to argument. Friendships in small communities are more probably genetically connected, because such communities usually have fewer kinds of genes. “I wonder whether the ways used in the study can fully explain the known causes which drive friendships,” said Oxford’s Dr. Rory Bowden. There was one interesting finding from the study. Some of the genes that friends are most likely to have in common are about smell. “You may really love the smell of coffee. And you’re drawn to a place where other people have been drawn because they love the smell of coffee too,” Fowler explained. “And so that might be the possible place for you to make friends.” 1. What do we know about the study? A．It was difficult to carry out. B．It was a part of a larger heart study. C．It collected the gene information of the participants' parents. D．It studied the gene information of the participants. 2. What did the participants do in the study? A．They told researchers the names of their closest friends. B．They made friends from foreign countries. C．They changed the ways of making friends. D．They provided DNA information of their friends. 3. What’s Dr. Rory Bowden’s attitude towards the study? A．He shows no interest in it. B．He doesn’t agree with it. C．He isn’t sure about it. D．He feels worried about it. 4. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Coffee helps strangers come together. B．Good friends will love the smell of coffee. C．Genes about smell between friends are different. D．Smell may influence people in making friends. 5. What is the text mainly about? A．The ways of making different studies. B．A study on the relationship between making friends and genes. C．A way to choose participants in a study. D．The similar genes between good friends. Passage 3 Flamenco is very popular in southern Spain. It begins with guitar music and clapping（鼓掌）and then dancers join the performance. Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long, colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps. The man often wears black. Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other. Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. They are very energetic—some are more like gymnastics than dancing! Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords（剑）. The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities, for example, sword fighting and getting on and off horses. Limbo dancing is first from West Africa, but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean. Young people have to dance under a pole（杆）. The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn’t touch it! After a successful “limbo”, they put the pole lower and do it again. Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground! Mask（面具）dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people, monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village. Today, Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists. 1.

It had been on since 1939. The nations that had fought against Germany, Italy, and Japan decided that such a war must never happen again. On April 25, 1945, people representing about 50 countries met in San Francisco, California. They were there to organize the United Nations (UN). Its aim would be to work for world peace, security, and the improvement of living conditions for all people. The UN headquarters was built in New York City. As of 2006, more than 192 nations were members of the UN. If fighting between two or more countries breaks out anywhere in the world, the UN may be asked to try to stop it. The UN works on ways to keep the fighting from starting again. The UN also watches over world health problems. If a terrible disease hits a large population in some country, member nations go there to help stop the disease. Through the UN, rich countries help poor countries by lending money or helping them start industries. Since it started in 1945, the UN has had successes and failures. It was not able to pass a law that would stop the development of atomic bombs (原子弹). It has, though, been able to settle many disputes (争端) between countries before they became military wars. Probably the best thing about the UN is that it is a central place where member nations can easily share all kinds of information with each other. 1. What caused the nations to decide to organize the UN? A．World War II was coming to an end. B．The nations would be defeated soon. C．World War II had been on for six years. D．The nations hated Germany, Italy and Japan. 2. What did the nations expect the organization to do? A．To work for world peace, security and betterment.

What does “it” mean in the last paragraph? A．Atomic bombs. B．The United Nations. C．Successes and failures. D．Member nations. 5. Which part of the newspaper does the article belong to? A．Sports. B．Lifestyle. C．Culture. D．Opinion. Passage 5 Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system called Ithaca to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. Ithaca is designed to help historians restore (复原) the writings and identify when and where they were written. Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions, to record different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic and metal. They often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they built their societies. But oftentimes, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made. Ithaca serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and judge the true origins (起源) of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind, said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. “When historians work on their own, the success rate (率) for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca, the success rate jumped to 72 percent,” said Assael, a research scientist with DeepMind. The team is now working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched a free tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. 1. Why did many ancient populations use writings? A．To record their lives. B．To explain their origins. C．To build their societies. D．To test different materials. 2. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．Where the inscribed objects were first created. B．Where researchers discovered valuable information. C．Why it is hard for scientists to work on ancient writings. D．Why major parts of the inscriptions have been damaged. 3. How did DeepMind train Ithaca? A．By competing with human brains. B．By putting special data into the system. C．By learning from other technological tools. D．By challenging the system to difficult tasks. 4. What happened when humans and Ithaca worked together according to Assael? A．It took a lot of time to repair missing inscriptions. B．Restoring damaged inscriptions cost much money. C．Repair work was much more likely to be successful. D．All damaged writings could be restored successfully. 5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Data Collected for Training a New AI-Based System B．A Free Tool Developed by DeepMind for Public Use C．Inscriptions Found to Solve the Century-Old Mystery D．AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings Passage 6 In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier （供应商）of 5G. But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban （禁令） on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt. “We have never received such a request（要求）from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “This ban from the U.S. would have little effect （影响）on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added. In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic（浪漫的）as you imagine.” Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing.

Passage 7 During the COVID-19, many people under lockdown feel lonely and bored. “There is a loneliness epidemic,” said John Dattilo from PennsyIvania State University, US. So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness and increase positive feelings during the COVID-19. According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration（注意力）and skill. “When people pay attention to what they are doing, they enter a state called ‘flow’,” Dattilo explained. To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. Instead, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow” will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are. “When we enter a state of flow, we become concentrated, and we experience momentary enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.” However, watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges. “People are going to thrive（茁壮成长）on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.” 1. What can we do to reduce loneliness during lockdown according to the study? A．Follow a healthy lifestyle. B．Learn as many skill as possible. C．Do some enjoyable and challenging tasks. D．Complete impossible challenges. 2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “complex”? A．Simple. B．Latest. C．Difficult. D．Personal. 3. What activity is possible to help people achieve flow? A．Watching TV. B．Writing. C．Eating nuts. D．Chatting. 4. How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state? A．They are concentrated and happy. B．They feel time passes too quickly. C．They feel stressed and tired. D．They are lonely and bored. 5. In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear? A．SPORT B．HEALTH C．TRAVEL D．FASHION Passage 8 Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships. Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs. Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed. Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement. 1. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指代)? A．Their classmates. B．Some schools. C．Most parents. D．Their children. 2. Why are students given chances to take part in activities? A．To get good grades. B．To improve speaking ability. C．To express their love for arts. D．To get the pleasure of success. 3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．Project work makes teenagers nervous. B．Good qualities will lead to a happy life. C．Teenagers are advised to complete tasks in time. D．Taking responsibility will make work much easier. 4. What is important for making students strong minded? A．Honesty. B．Self-motivation. C．Communication. D．Friends’ trust. 5. What can be the best title for the text? A．The Value of Moral Education B．The Key to Discovering Hidden Ability C．The Meaning of Success to Teenagers D．The Way to Communicate with Others Passage 1 Tai chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese physical exercise, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance. New research has been conducted to determine whether tai chi has an influence on lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期). In the study, Chinese scientists put 342 adults with prehypertension into two groups. The average age of people taking part in the study was 49. About half the participants (参与者) took part in aerobic exercise, including jogging, climbing stairs and cycling. The other half was trained to practice tai chi. Both groups got hour-long exercises four times a week. Nearly 22% of the people who practiced tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to be normal, compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group. And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop high blood pressure than patients in the aerobic exercise group. So what is it about tai chi that helps lower blood pressure? “The practice tends to get more of a response from the parasympathetic (副交感的) nervous system, which is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger,” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, a professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Nursing. “I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership, you don’t have to have special clothing, ” Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime and anyplace. And it does provide a calming and relaxing effect. ” Evidence suggests it can also help protect against cognitive fall and even improve memory. But you have to practice it continually to get the most benefit. 1. What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To offer some examples. B．To explain a definition. C．To introduce the topic. D．To give people suggestions. 2. What can we know about the participants in the study? A．They were divided into two groups. B．They suffered from heart disease. C．They were 49 years old. D．They got exercises five times a week. 3. What might Taylor-Piliae agree with about tai chi? A．It can make people calm down. B．It requires training and specialized equipment. C．It has no influence on the parasympathetic nervous system. D．It is suitable for individuals with aerobic exercise experience. 4. Why might tai chi be a preferred exercise for people with prehypertension? A．It is more physically demanding than aerobic exercise. B．It can be done anywhere without special equipment. C．It requires a gym membership. D．It is a high-impact exercise. 5. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．A Traditional Sport B．The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise C．Exploring Chinese Physical Exercise D．Managing Blood Pressure with Tai Chi Passage 2 The village super league, or “Cun Chao” in Chinese, is a soccer game among different villages in Rongjiang county, Guizhou Province, and it is so down-to-earth but popular that it has attracted not only the attention of football legend Michael Owen but also millions of Chinese netizens(网民), who are paying attention to this non-professional football league. The players come from a variety of backgrounds. They are vendors, drivers, students, carpenters, tilers, former butchers, and brick factory workers. Their ages range from 15 to over 40 years old. At the game site, representatives wearing various traditional national costumes play national musical instruments and enter the field with the players, and perform songs and dances. “This kind of football game is natural and with ‘pureness’ and it is driven by the love of the ordinary people not the economic benefits. The game is providing not only values of sports, but also a way of socializing with low costs,” an expert noted. This kind of atmosphere is very rarely seen and is treasured, especially for people in urban areas who are getting increasingly busy and under great work pressure, and when they look at the fun, relaxing and down-to-earth way of life in the countryside, they will naturally be interested, experts said. There is at least one good effect brought by the “Cun Chao” to Chinese soccer — to make more people see the pureness of joy and encourage them to play soccer. Today, more and more grassroots sports events are held in the mountains and are using sports as a medium to showcase the unique charm of the local area, reflecting an energetic lifestyle filled with agricultural activities and rural fun. 1. Why does the author mention Michael Owen in Paragraph 1? A．To show he is a household name in China. B．To voice his view on modern soccer game. C．To show the great popularity(流行)of “Cun Chao”. D．To stress the importance of “Cun Chao”. 2. What do we know about the players of “Cun Chao”? A．They are from all walks of life. B．Seniors are welcome to join the team.

A．Slow-paced(慢节奏的). B．Highly stressed. C．High-cost. D．Nonprofitable. 4. What are grassroots sports events in the mountains using sports as? A．A way to make money. B．A means to display the unique fascination of local regions C．Only a form of entertainment. D．A competition between different mountains. 5. Which is the best title for the text? A．The village super league wins the hearts of Chinese. B．The village super league: From nobody to somebody. C．The village super league bridges the countryside and the city. D．The village super league promises the future of Chinese soccer. Passage 3 Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself in China, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before. And how wonderful must it have been to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been filled with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road. Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. But among the travels to a specific destination, the first is more likely to be the best. Imagine a person who has been expecting his first travel to the United States. Of course, he may have seen all the famous sights a thousand times on TV. But none of that would compare to (比得上) the excitement of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view. Although travel is often just for recreation (消遣), it’s also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are. We’re learning every day: new words, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not just the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral (道德上的) one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. Just like British politician Benjamin Disraeli said, “Travel teaches toleration.” 1. Why does the author mention Marco Polo and Zhang Qian? A．To explain how the Silk Road was founded. B．To present travel as an amazing experience. C．To show how the way people travel has changed. D．To describe important cultural exchanges in history. 2. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 3? A．The best trip is often the first in-person experience. B．One’s first trip is usually the most challenging. C．There is always much to learn on one’s first trip. D．People usually make better preparations for their first trips. 3. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in Paragraph 5? A．Learning. B．Knowledge. C．Acceptance. D．Politics. 4. What can we know from the last two paragraphs? A．Traveling should be included in formal education. B．Traveling improves people’s confidence in their lifestyle. C．There is more to learn in classroom than from adventures. D．A foreign journey may raise people’s cultural understanding. 5. According to the passage, what is one of the key moral lessons that travel teaches? A．The importance of staying at home. B．The value of exploring new places. C．The necessity of being tolerant of different cultures. D．The idea that one’s own culture is better than others. Passage 4 There was a young painter who made a living by painting portraits(肖像). One day, a rich man asked him to paint a portrait for him and promised to pay him 10,000 dollars. After a week, the rich man came to take the painting, but he was not pleased with it. He told the young painter, “I will only pay 3,000 dollars for this painting”.The young painter was angry. He argued with the rich man, hoping the rich man would keep his word.The rich man thought, “The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting, no one else will buy it.” So he said, “I will ask you one last time: will you sell it for 3,000 dollars?” The young painter said firmly(坚定地),“No. This is a shame for me! I would prefer not to sell it, rather than be humiliated by you. Someday, you will pay 20 times the cost for breaking your promise.” After that, the painter worked hard day and night. Finally, he became well-known in the art world. The rich man forgot about the artist and what he had told him. But one day, some friends told him, “There is a painting selling for 200,000 dollars and the man in the painting looks exactly like you. It has a name of “Thief(贼)”.Then, the rich man remembered the artist. He quickly went to say sorry and paid 200,000 dollars to buy the portrait. The young painter made the rich man lower his head in the end. 1. The rich man would only pay 3,000 dollars for the painting because ______.

If you remember the following information, your life will be much safer. Always notice the environment around you. You shouldn’t walk alone outside. Make sure where the public phones are. If anything dangerous happens, you can find them easily. Your bag should be carried towards the front of your body instead of putting it on your back. When a bus is full of people, it is easy enough for a thief to take away the things in the bag on your back. If you are followed by someone whom you don’t know, cross the street and go to the other way, let the person understand that you know he or she is after you. Next, don’t go home at once. You are safer in the street than you are alone in your home or in a lift (电梯). If you have to take a bus to a place far away, try to get to the stop a few minutes earlier before the bus leaves. This stops other people from studying you. On the bus, don’t sit alone. Sit behind the driver or with other people. Don’t sleep. 1. Which of the following is NOT safe when you are out?

Passage 6 A group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain (瓷杯子), glass, crystal (水晶杯), some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant - - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’ re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!” 1. When did they decide to go to see their professor? A．After the reunion. B．Before they graduated. C．During the get-together. D．Just after the professor retired. 2. Why did the professor offer them different cups? A．Because cups were not enough for everyone. B．Because cups were beautiful. C．Because hot chocolate should be contained in different cups. D．Because the professor wanted to teach them something. 3. What caused the professor to say those words? A．Their complaints. B．Their reunion. C．Their visit. D．Their graduation. 4. What does the word “cup” in this passage refer to? A．hot chocolate B．happy things in life C．tools to hold and contain life D．Life 5. What is the purpose of the professor’s words? A．To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. B．To educate them that the happiest people don’t have the best of everything. C．To use different cups to tell them they should try different things in life. D．To wish them to be grateful to their life and make the best of everything that they have. 3 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $春季高考·必胜 特训S-203阅读理解 2026年小高考专项突破（广东专用） 梯度训练100题 内 容 提 要 真题速递 感受真题，体验考点体系 初阶30题 牛刀小试，夯实核心考点 进阶40题 聚焦重点，提升解题能力 高阶30题 深度剖析，全面突破 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Passage A （2024.1・广东春季高考）A yes-person is normally someone who says “yes” to everything; a request, a job, an opportunity, or an event. Some people think that saying “yes” to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later. But, for me, saying “yes” has brought chances rather than worries. Here is a good example to show the power of saying “yes” and its effect on my life. My boss once asked me to give a speech to a large group of people. I had never done public speaking before but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then. Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks. Maybe I would never have made so much progress in my job. Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it. Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with, like a task that is outside your comfort zone, can have positive results. Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off. It’s really that simple. 1. Why do some people think saying “yes” to everything is risky? A They will lose chances. B. They are lazy with work. C. People may make more requests. D. Things might go wrong later. 2. The author succeeded in giving the speech because __________. A. he pressed himself for the task B. he admitted his stress C. he has interested in the topic D. he was trusted by his boss 3. What has saying “yes” brought to the author according to Paragraph 3?

A. inspire people to live a simple life B. tell people about his work experience C. remind people of the risks of saying “yes” D. encourage people to say “yes” to challenges 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者结合自身经历阐述了 “说 yes” 的意义 —— 虽然有人认为对一切说 “yes” 有风险，但作者认为这能带来机遇和成长，并鼓励人们勇于对挑战说 “yes”。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段 “Some people think that saying ‘yes’ to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later.” 可知，一些人认为对一切说 “yes” 有风险，是因为事情可能一开始顺利，但之后会出问题。故选 D。 2. 推理判断题。根据第二段 “I had never done public speaking before, but I knew that I could push myself to do it. I prepared for weeks and finally gave a successful speech”（原文隐含 “逼迫自己完成任务” 的逻辑，结合语境可推知），作者虽然从未做过公开演讲，但通过自我督促、认真准备最终成功完成演讲，核心原因是他逼迫自己接受并完成了这项任务。B 项 “承认压力”、C 项 “对主题感兴趣” 文中未提及；D 项 “被老板信任” 是演讲成功后的结果，而非原因。故选 A。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段 “Saying ‘yes’ has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it.” 可知，说 “yes” 让作者在工作中获得晋升，实现了个人成长。故选 B。 4. 词句猜测题。根据第四段 “Saying ‘yes’ to something that you might be uncomfortable with, like a task that is outside your comfort zone” 可知，“outside your comfort zone”（超出舒适区）的任务通常是有挑战性的，因此划线部分可替换为 “challenging”（有挑战性的）。故选 C。 5. 主旨大意题。通读全文，作者通过自身经历说明对挑战说 “yes” 能带来成长和机遇，最终目的是鼓励人们勇于对挑战说 “yes”。A 项 “激励人们过简单生活”、B 项 “讲述工作经历” 均为次要内容；C 项 “提醒说‘yes’的风险” 与作者核心观点不符。故选 D。 Passage B （2023.1・广东春季高考）A new interactive (互动的)map shows which parts of the world have been hit hardest by climate change. The map, called ClimateEX, allows users to see how global warming (全球 变暖)influences temperature and rainfall across the Earth. The map shows, in the UK, areas of eastern Scotland have been most influenced by climate change. In the US, the west coast has seen a rise in temperature and loss of rainfall. The map also shows that over the next 50 years parts of Wales and northeast England will see big changes to their climate. Developed by a scientist at the University of Cincinnati, the map uses 50 years of public climate data from 50, 000 international weather stations around the Earth. It shows not only how the climate has changed, But also what will possibly happen by the year 2070. According to the map, over the next 50 years Central America will be subject to terrible heat and rainfall. Papua New Guinea, southeastern China, the west coast of the US, Greenland and the Arctic are also easily influenced, most importantly for sea level change. ClimateEX can also help users search for places where climate change may lead to extreme phenomena (现象)in the future. The user simply touches the place where storms are frequent at present on the map and then ClimateEX will show all the places where storms are likely to happen in 50 years. 1.

At just 19 years old, she was picked No. 2 by the Seattle Storm in the 2025 WNBA Draft (选拔), becoming the youngest player ever chosen into the women’s basketball league. Before this big moment, Dominique had already played professional (专业的) basketball for four years. In 2024, she helped the French national women’s team win the second place at the Paris Olympics. Many people compare her to another young French basketball star, Victor Wembanyama, who joined the NBA in 2023.

She wants to be known for who she is: “I play as Dominique,” she said. Dominique’s basketball skills speak for themselves. In 2024, she became the first woman ever to dunk during a game at the Olympic Games. Dunking is common in men’s games, but not very often in women’s basketball. Dominique can also shoot three-pointers and move quickly on the court. Now, she is ready to begin her journey in the WNBA．“I just can’t wait to start and play against anybody. I just want to play,” she said. Dominique Malonga’s story shows that age and being a woman don’t limit (限制) talent or dreams. She is showing the world that with skill, hard work, and confidence, young women can shine just as brightly on the basketball court. 1. What medal did Dominique win with the French team at the 2024 Olympics? A．Gold. B．Silver. C．Bronze. D．No medal. 2. What does Dominique say about being compared to Victor Wembanyama?

After learning for a few days, he felt excited because he thought he could 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 gave the young man a rough board and said, “Make this board smooth.” The man thought it was easy. He sanded (打磨) the board three 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 again. But the old carpenter shook his head once more. Feeling sad, the man started to think more. He wasn’t in a hurry anymore and sanded every part of the board carefully once more. Finally, the board was as smooth as a mirror (镜子). This time, the old carpenter smiled and said, “You have learned an important lesson. Success needs not only skills but also patience. The simpler the job is, the more patience we need. When you perfect every part, you can make a perfect piece.” The young man understood that carpentry was not only about making things, but also about shaping the mind.

According to a UK study, those grown-ups during the 1970s and 1980s enjoyed more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday, and nine hours on weekends─whatever the weather is. But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday, and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays. So, the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors. The Wild Network, born on September 25, 2013, is joined by more than 300 organizations, large or small. It tries to attract children away from television and computer screen and into woods and parks. It is the biggest activity ever to reconnect children with nature and outdoor activities, and it plans to help improve children’s health. Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits, camping, watching autumn color on trees and so on. This is not the first time the message of less screen, more play has been brought up. Children in the 1980s were encouraged to do the same by BBC TV show Why don’t you, which encouraged children to “turn off your TV set, and go to do something less boring instead”. You can learn more about the activity by visiting http://www.Projectwildthing.com. 1. We can learn from the second paragraph that ________. A．today’s children have more free time B．today’s children spend more time outdoors C．the parents had more free time when they were young D．the parents spent more time outdoors when they were young 2. The Wild Network was started to encourage ________.

What can we learn about the Wild Network? A．It was set up this year. B．It was the best ever activity. C．Both large organizations or small can join it. D．You can learn about it from the show Why don’t you. 4. Which of the following activities is not mentioned? A．Camping B．Collecting fruits C．Bird watching D．Autumn color watching 5. The underlined part “ do the same” can be replaced by ________. A．start an activity B．play outdoors C．do homework D．do housework 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4. C 5. B 【导语】本文主要描述了现在的孩子宁愿在家读书，做家务，做作业也不出去玩的现象，鼓励孩子们出去玩，不要在家里，多参加户外活动。 1. 段落大意题。通读第二段可知，本段主要是讲述70年代和80年代的父母那一代比他们的孩子花在户外的时间更多。故选D。 2. 细节理解题。根据“So, the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up 30 minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors.”可知这项活动是鼓励孩子们更多的参加户外活动。故选A。 3. 细节理解题。根据“The Wild Network, born on September 25, 2013, is joined by more than 300 organizations, large or small”可知，在Wild Network这项活动中，大型或小型组织都可以加入。故选C。 4. 细节理解题。根据“Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits, camping, watching autumn color on trees and so on.”可知，建议包括收集水果，野营，看秋天的颜色等等，只有Bird watching这项活动没有提到。故选C。 5. 词句猜测题。根据“which encouraged children to “turn off your TV set, and go to do something less boring instead”.”可知，该节目鼓励孩子们“关掉电视机，去做一些不那么无聊的事情”，即做户外活动，所以划线部分可用play outdoors代替。故选B。 Passage 2 According to a new study, good friends are actually the next closest thing to family in genes（基因）. U. S. researchers have found that we are more genetically similar to our friends than to any stranger. The study suggested that genes may influence how we choose our friends. The study looked at the gene information of nearly 2,000 people, who were chosen from a small U.S. town as part of a larger heart study. The study showed that friends share about 0.1 percent more DNA than strangers do. Besides providing DNA information, participants（参与者）in the study were also asked who their closest friends were. Because all of the participants came from such a small community, it made this group suitable for such studies. It has also led to argument. Friendships in small communities are more probably genetically connected, because such communities usually have fewer kinds of genes. “I wonder whether the ways used in the study can fully explain the known causes which drive friendships,” said Oxford’s Dr. Rory Bowden. There was one interesting finding from the study. Some of the genes that friends are most likely to have in common are about smell. “You may really love the smell of coffee. And you’re drawn to a place where other people have been drawn because they love the smell of coffee too,” Fowler explained. “And so that might be the possible place for you to make friends.” 1. What do we know about the study? A．It was difficult to carry out. B．It was a part of a larger heart study. C．It collected the gene information of the participants' parents. D．It studied the gene information of the participants. 2. What did the participants do in the study? A．They told researchers the names of their closest friends. B．They made friends from foreign countries. C．They changed the ways of making friends. D．They provided DNA information of their friends. 3. What’s Dr. Rory Bowden’s attitude towards the study? A．He shows no interest in it. B．He doesn’t agree with it. C．He isn’t sure about it. D．He feels worried about it. 4. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Coffee helps strangers come together. B．Good friends will love the smell of coffee. C．Genes about smell between friends are different. D．Smell may influence people in making friends. 5. What is the text mainly about? A．The ways of making different studies. B．A study on the relationship between making friends and genes. C．A way to choose participants in a study. D．The similar genes between good friends. 【答案】1.

It begins with guitar music and clapping（鼓掌）and then dancers join the performance. Sometimes a woman dances alone and sometimes she dances with a man. The woman always wears a long, colorful dress. She moves her arms and hands slowly but her feet move in fast difficult steps. The man often wears black. Both dancers click their shoes on the floor when they dance around each other. Cossack dances are from Russia and Ukraine. They are very energetic—some are more like gymnastics than dancing! Dancers have to be very fit because they jump very high and kick their legs up and down. They often jump over swords（剑）. The movements are similar to traditional Cossack activities, for example, sword fighting and getting on and off horses. Limbo dancing is first from West Africa, but today it is an important part of celebrations in the Caribbean. Young people have to dance under a pole（杆）. The pole is often on fire and the dancer mustn’t touch it! After a successful “limbo”, they put the pole lower and do it again. Some dancers can dance under a pole just twenty centimeters off the ground! Mask（面具）dances are important for the Dogon people in Mali. Each village makes different masks. They are often huge and colorful. There are masks of people, monsters or local animals like crocodiles and monkeys. Mask dancers are always men and they dance to the sound of drums for hours after the death of a person in the village. Today, Dogon villagers also perform the dances for tourists. 1.

On April 25, 1945, people representing about 50 countries met in San Francisco, California. They were there to organize the United Nations (UN). Its aim would be to work for world peace, security, and the improvement of living conditions for all people. The UN headquarters was built in New York City. As of 2006, more than 192 nations were members of the UN. If fighting between two or more countries breaks out anywhere in the world, the UN may be asked to try to stop it. The UN works on ways to keep the fighting from starting again. The UN also watches over world health problems. If a terrible disease hits a large population in some country, member nations go there to help stop the disease. Through the UN, rich countries help poor countries by lending money or helping them start industries. Since it started in 1945, the UN has had successes and failures. It was not able to pass a law that would stop the development of atomic bombs (原子弹). It has, though, been able to settle many disputes (争端) between countries before they became military wars. Probably the best thing about the UN is that it is a central place where member nations can easily share all kinds of information with each other. 1.

Ithaca is designed to help historians restore (复原) the writings and identify when and where they were written. Many ancient populations used writings, also known as inscriptions, to record different parts of their lives. The inscriptions have been found on materials such as rock, ceramic and metal. They often contained valuable information about how ancient people lived and how they built their societies. But oftentimes, the objects containing such inscriptions have been damaged over the centuries. This left major parts of the inscriptions missing and difficult to identify and understand. In addition, many of the inscribed objects were moved from areas where they were first created. This makes it difficult for scientists to discover when and where the writings were made. Ithaca serves as a technological tool to help researchers repair missing inscriptions and judge the true origins (起源) of the records. The researchers, led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind, said it trained Ithaca on the largest collection of data containing Greek inscriptions. Feeding this data into the system is designed to help the tool use past writings to predict missing letters and words in damaged inscriptions. “When historians work on their own, the success rate (率) for restoring damaged inscriptions is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca, the success rate jumped to 72 percent,” said Assael, a research scientist with DeepMind. The team is now working on other versions of Ithaca trained on other ancient languages. DeepMind has launched a free tool based on the system for use by researchers, educators, museum workers and the public. 1. Why did many ancient populations use writings? A．To record their lives. B．To explain their origins. C．To build their societies. D．To test different materials. 2. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．Where the inscribed objects were first created.

How did DeepMind train Ithaca? A．By competing with human brains. B．By putting special data into the system. C．By learning from other technological tools. D．By challenging the system to difficult tasks. 4. What happened when humans and Ithaca worked together according to Assael? A．It took a lot of time to repair missing inscriptions. B．Restoring damaged inscriptions cost much money. C．Repair work was much more likely to be successful. D．All damaged writings could be restored successfully. 5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Data Collected for Training a New AI-Based System B．A Free Tool Developed by DeepMind for Public Use C．Inscriptions Found to Solve the Century-Old Mystery D．AI Used to Fill in Missing Words in Ancient Writings 【答案】1.

After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world’s second-largest maker of smartphones behind Korea’s Samsung. It has also become the world’s largest supplier （供应商）of 5G. But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U.S. government ordered a ban （禁令） on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U. S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei’s business would be hurt. “We have never received such a request（要求）from the Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other systems to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei’s founder and president said. “This ban from the U.S. would have little effect （影响）on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added. In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4,000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company. The experience was not as romantic（浪漫的）as you imagine.” Facing the ban of the U.S., Huawei is growing. Huawei’s smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell.

So he, together with an international team of researchers, studied how to reduce loneliness and increase positive feelings during the COVID-19. According to their new study, reducing loneliness has something to do with doing enjoyable activities that require both concentration（注意力）and skill. “When people pay attention to what they are doing, they enter a state called ‘flow’,” Dattilo explained. To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level. For example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low, then you’re likely to feel stressed instead of achieving “flow”. Instead, if the task is too easy, then boredom will set in and “flow” will not appear, either. If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are. “When we enter a state of flow, we become concentrated, and we experience momentary enjoyment,” Dattilo said. “When we leave a state of flow, we are often surprised by how much time has passed.” However, watching television usually doesn’t help people enter flow, according to Dattilo, because there aren’t any challenges. “People are going to thrive（茁壮成长）on healthy activities and challenge,” said Dattilo. “We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.” 1. What can we do to reduce loneliness during lockdown according to the study? A．Follow a healthy lifestyle. B．Learn as many skill as possible. C．Do some enjoyable and challenging tasks. D．Complete impossible challenges. 2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “complex”? A．Simple. B．Latest. C．Difficult. D．Personal. 3. What activity is possible to help people achieve flow? A．Watching TV. B．Writing. C．Eating nuts. D．Chatting. 4. How do people feel when they enter the “flow” state? A．They are concentrated and happy. B．They feel time passes too quickly. C．They feel stressed and tired. D．They are lonely and bored. 5. In which part of a newspaper may this passage appear? A．SPORT B．HEALTH C．TRAVEL D．FASHION 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. A 5. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了如何减少孤独感和增加积极情绪。 1. 细节理解题。根据第四段“To achieve a state of flow, there must be a balance between the challenge of the task and your skill level.”可知，为了达到流畅的状态，必须在任务挑战和技能水平之间保持平衡。可知我们可以做一些令人愉快且富有挑战性的任务，来减少禁闭期间的孤独感。故选C。 2. 词义猜测题。根据第四段“For example, if you’re trying to create a complex computer program but your skill level is low”可知，如果你试图创建一个复杂的计算机程序，但你的技能水平很低，可知“complex”的意思是“复杂的”，与“Difficult”最接近。故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据第五段“If you have artistic skills, for example, playing the piano or painting can lead to flow. So can things like skiing, writing and storytelling, depending on who you are.”可知，如果你有艺术技能，弹钢琴或画画可以带来流畅，滑雪、写作和讲故事也可以。可知写作可以帮助人们实现流畅。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据第六段“When we enter a state of flow, we become concentrated, and we experience momentary enjoyment”可知，当我们进入一种流动状态时，我们会变得专注，并体验到短暂的享受。可知当人们进入“流动”状态时他们专注而快乐。故选A。 5. 推理判断题。根据全文，尤其最后一段“‘People are going to thrive（茁壮成长）on healthy activities and challenge,’ said Dattilo. ‘We hope this research will help people live fuller, happier, healthier lives.’”可知，本文是关于健康方面的，故可在“健康”栏目看到本文。故选B。 Passage 8 Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement of a goal or completion of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral (道德的) education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships. Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs. Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality (品质) is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed. Sticking to moral values is the key to success too. Honest teenagers will win the trust of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement. 1.

New research has been conducted to determine whether tai chi has an influence on lowering blood pressure in people with prehypertension (高血压前期). In the study, Chinese scientists put 342 adults with prehypertension into two groups. The average age of people taking part in the study was 49. About half the participants (参与者) took part in aerobic exercise, including jogging, climbing stairs and cycling. The other half was trained to practice tai chi. Both groups got hour-long exercises four times a week. Nearly 22% of the people who practiced tai chi saw their blood pressure fall to be normal, compared with nearly 16% of people in the aerobic exercise group. And fewer patients in the tai chi group went on to develop high blood pressure than patients in the aerobic exercise group. So what is it about tai chi that helps lower blood pressure? “The practice tends to get more of a response from the parasympathetic (副交感的) nervous system, which is the network of nerves that relaxes your body after periods of stress or danger,” says Ruth Taylor-Piliae, a professor at the University of Arizona’s College of Nursing. “I think the beauty of tai chi is that you don’t have to have a special gym membership, you don’t have to have special clothing, ” Taylor-Piliae says. “Once you learn tai chi, you can do it anytime and anyplace. And it does provide a calming and relaxing effect. ” Evidence suggests it can also help protect against cognitive fall and even improve memory. But you have to practice it continually to get the most benefit. 1. What is the function of paragraph 1? A．To offer some examples. B．To explain a definition. C．To introduce the topic. D．To give people suggestions. 2. What can we know about the participants in the study? A．They were divided into two groups. B．They suffered from heart disease. C．They were 49 years old. D．They got exercises five times a week. 3. What might Taylor-Piliae agree with about tai chi? A．It can make people calm down. B．It requires training and specialized equipment. C．It has no influence on the parasympathetic nervous system. D．It is suitable for individuals with aerobic exercise experience. 4. Why might tai chi be a preferred exercise for people with prehypertension? A．It is more physically demanding than aerobic exercise. B．It can be done anywhere without special equipment. C．It requires a gym membership. D．It is a high-impact exercise. 5. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A．A Traditional Sport B．The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise C．Exploring Chinese Physical Exercise D．Managing Blood Pressure with Tai Chi 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. A 4. B 5. D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了打太极拳对降低人的血压有益，研究表明它比有氧运动效果更好。 1. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Tai chi, a traditional, slow-moving form of Chinese physical exercise, is known to increase flexibility and improve balance.

The players come from a variety of backgrounds. They are vendors, drivers, students, carpenters, tilers, former butchers, and brick factory workers. Their ages range from 15 to over 40 years old. At the game site, representatives wearing various traditional national costumes play national musical instruments and enter the field with the players, and perform songs and dances. “This kind of football game is natural and with ‘pureness’ and it is driven by the love of the ordinary people not the economic benefits. The game is providing not only values of sports, but also a way of socializing with low costs,” an expert noted. This kind of atmosphere is very rarely seen and is treasured, especially for people in urban areas who are getting increasingly busy and under great work pressure, and when they look at the fun, relaxing and down-to-earth way of life in the countryside, they will naturally be interested, experts said. There is at least one good effect brought by the “Cun Chao” to Chinese soccer — to make more people see the pureness of joy and encourage them to play soccer.

Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself in China, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before. And how wonderful must it have been to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been filled with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road. Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. But among the travels to a specific destination, the first is more likely to be the best. Imagine a person who has been expecting his first travel to the United States. Of course, he may have seen all the famous sights a thousand times on TV. But none of that would compare to (比得上) the excitement of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view. Although travel is often just for recreation (消遣), it’s also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are. We’re learning every day: new words, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not just the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral (道德上的) one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. Just like British politician Benjamin Disraeli said, “Travel teaches toleration.” 1. Why does the author mention Marco Polo and Zhang Qian? A．To explain how the Silk Road was founded. B．To present travel as an amazing experience. C．To show how the way people travel has changed. D．To describe important cultural exchanges in history. 2. What does the author want to convey in Paragraph 3? A．The best trip is often the first in-person experience. B．One’s first trip is usually the most challenging.

C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旅行的好处，主要包括兴奋的体验感与教育价值，旅行者通过探索不同文化和生活方式，能够获得新的视角，并反思文化的多样性。 1. 推理判断题。根据第一段“Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself in China, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.(旅行是一个人所能拥有的最令人兴奋的经历之一。想象一下，当意大利旅行家马可·波罗发现自己来到中国，看到一种与他以前见过的完全不同的生活方式时，他会有什么感受)”和第二段中“And how wonderful must it have been to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia?(当张骞从中亚和西亚旅行回到中国时该是多么美妙啊)”可知，作者先提到旅行是最令人兴奋的经历之一，然后举出马可·波罗和张骞的游历，提到他们完全不一样的美妙感受。由此推知，作者提到两人是为了表明旅行是一种奇妙的体验。故选B项。 2. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“But among the travels to a specific destination, the first is more likely to be the best. Imagine a person who has been expecting his first travel to the United States. Of course, he may have seen all the famous sights a thousand times on TV. But none of that would compare to (比得上) the excitement of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.(但在前往特定目的地的旅行中，第一次旅行更有可能是最好的。想象一下，一个人期待着他的第一次美国之旅。当然，他可能在电视上看过上千次所有的著名景点。但是，当飞机降落时，这些都比不上从机舱窗口望向窗外，看到真实的美国城市和街道时的兴奋)”可知，作者以一个人第一次的美国之旅为例，描述了他看到真实场景时的兴奋，表明最好的旅行往往是第一次亲身的体验。故选A项。 3. 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way.(随着我们对外国的了解，我们开始明白有许多不同的生活方式，我们的生活方式不一定是最好的)”可知，作者强调在旅游的过程中应该理解和尊重其他国家人民的生活方式，摒弃以我为尊的观念，以一种开放的心态来接纳文化差异。因此，画线部分意思应该是“接纳，包容”，与Acceptance意思一致。故选C项。 4. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Although travel is often just for recreation, it’s also educational. (虽然旅行通常只是为了娱乐，但它也有教育意义)”和最后一段中“One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way.(我们学习的一课无疑是道德上的。随着我们对外国的了解，我们开始明白有许多不同的生活方式，我们的生活方式不一定是最好的)”可推知，作者认为出国旅行可以提高人们对文化的理解。故选D项。 5. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. Just like British politician Benjamin Disraeli said, “Travel teaches toleration.”(随着我们对外国的了解，我们开始明白有许多不同的生活方式，我们的生活方式不一定是最好的。正如英国政治家本杰明·迪斯雷利所说：“旅行教会宽容。”)”可知，旅行的一个重要道德教训是学会包容不同的文化和生活方式。故选C项。 Passage 4 There was a young painter who made a living by painting portraits(肖像). One day, a rich man asked him to paint a portrait for him and promised to pay him 10,000 dollars. After a week, the rich man came to take the painting, but he was not pleased with it. He told the young painter, “I will only pay 3,000 dollars for this painting”.The young painter was angry. He argued with the rich man, hoping the rich man would keep his word.The rich man thought, “The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting, no one else will buy it.” So he said, “I will ask you one last time: will you sell it for 3,000 dollars?” The young painter said firmly(坚定地),“No. This is a shame for me! I would prefer not to sell it, rather than be humiliated by you. Someday, you will pay 20 times the cost for breaking your promise.” After that, the painter worked hard day and night. Finally, he became well-known in the art world. The rich man forgot about the artist and what he had told him. But one day, some friends told him, “There is a painting selling for 200,000 dollars and the man in the painting looks exactly like you. It has a name of “Thief(贼)”.Then, the rich man remembered the artist. He quickly went to say sorry and paid 200,000 dollars to buy the portrait. The young painter made the rich man lower his head in the end. 1. The rich man would only pay 3,000 dollars for the painting because ______.

C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一位年轻画家与一位富有商人之间的故事，涉及诚信、羞辱和最终的惩罚。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“After a week, the rich man came to take the painting, but he was not pleased with it. (一周后，那个富人来取画，但他对画不满意。)”，富有的商人对画像不满意，因此只愿意支付3000美元，而不是原先承诺的10000美元。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。最后一段提到“After that, the painter worked hard day and night. Finally, he became well-known in the art world. (在那以后，年轻画家通过日以继夜的努力工作，最终在艺术界变得知名。)”，这表明他的名声是通过努力工作获得的。故选A。 3. 词句猜测题。第三段中提到“No. This is a shame for me! (不，这对我来说是耻辱。)”，说明年轻画家宁愿不卖画，也不愿意被富有的商人羞辱。“humiliated”在中文中的意思是“羞辱”，是shame的近义词，故选C。 4. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There is a painting selling for 200,000 dollars and the man in the painting looks exactly like you. It has a name of “Thief”. (有一幅画售价为20万美元，画中的男人看起来和你一模一样。它的名字叫做“小偷”。)”可知，名为“Thief”的画作中的人物与富有的商人一模一样，这表明画中人是富有的商人。故选B。 5. 细节理解题。最后一段提到“He quickly went to say sorry and paid 200,000 dollars to buy the portrait. (他迅速去道歉，并支付了20万美元购买了那幅肖像画。)”，可知富有的商人为了购买这幅名为“Thief”的画像，支付了200000美元，这是对他不守承诺的惩罚。故选C。 Passage 5 Being safe in your everyday life needs knowledge (知识).

During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives. Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and other things including cups-porcelain (瓷杯子), glass, crystal (水晶杯), some plain looking, some expensive, some elegant - - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said: “I notice that all the nice looking and expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you’ re drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive, and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate we have. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Thank the Lord for your blessings in 2024. And enjoy your hot chocolate in 2025!” 1. When did they decide to go to see their professor? A．After the reunion. B．Before they graduated. C．During the get-together. D．Just after the professor retired. 2. Why did the professor offer them different cups? A．Because cups were not enough for everyone. B．Because cups were beautiful. C．Because hot chocolate should be contained in different cups. D．Because the professor wanted to teach them something. 3. What caused the professor to say those words? A．Their complaints. B．Their reunion. C．Their visit. D．Their graduation. 4. What does the word “cup” in this passage refer to? A．hot chocolate B．happy things in life C．tools to hold and contain life D．Life 5. What is the purpose of the professor’s words? A．To tell them life is not easy, so try their best to be happy. B．To educate them that the happiest people don’t have the best of everything. C．To use different cups to tell them they should try different things in life. D．To wish them to be grateful to their life and make the best of everything that they have. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A 4. C 5.
