A small, happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway. His ears lifted up, and his tail wagged as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly as his. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back to visit it often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the other one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the doorway. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he shouted at them. He was afraid when he saw 1,000 little dogs shouting back. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.” All the faces in the world are mirrors of you. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of people you meet? 1．What does the underlined word “wagged” in Paragraph 2 mean?

D．Happy people are more popular than unhappy ones. Passage 2 On April 3, 2025, more than 2,300 students and teachers from Guyuan City in Ningxia started their yearly 54-kilometer walk. They did this to show their respects to the soldiers who tried to free the region. This year is the 30th year of the “walking ideological and political education class (行走的思政课)”. It started in 1995 and has inspired more than 30,000 students. The walk starts before sunrise. The people taking part carry white flowers they made by hand and sing songs like Unity Means Power (《团结就是力量》). They walk on muddy mountain paths to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery (任山河烈士陵园). 391 soldiers were buried there. Many of them were only 18 to 25 years old. The walk is difficult. People often face rain, snow and tiredness. This activity combines history with practical learning. Students write poems for the martyrs and act out historical stories in lessons. At the cemetery, they clean the tombstones and read the names of the dead soldiers. One student said, “Touching the cold stones made me know what sacrifice (牺牲) really means.” Over the years, this walk has become a national model for education. Schools in China now organize trips like this. The live broadcasts in 2024-2025 attracted over 100 million viewers. New technologies, like “AI facial reconstructions of martyrs”, make students “talk” to historical figures(人物), which makes the experience even better. Many former students, like spacecraft designer Yan Qi, said the walk taught them to be strong and work as a team. Teachers said it helps students understand the cost of peace better. This 30-year-old tradition shows that education is not just about books. It’s about feeling history with your feet and your heart.

B．To explain how schools use new tools to make history more vivid. C．To prove that all schools must use AI in education. D．To describe a new game students play during the walk. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To describe a hard physical activity. B．To stress the importance of textbooks. C．To introduce an innovative educational model. D．To criticize traditional teaching methods. Passage 3 A long time ago, there were two talented boys, John and Joey.

Here are two of my favorite books.Nancy Drew Mystery Stories Nancy Drew Mystery Stories has fascinated millions of girls for a while. It has been nearly 90 years.

That’s why I am rereading The Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon. In these detective stories, the clever boys work together to solve problems! When things get worse, the Hardy boys are never worried because they know they have great partners to work with. So they always get bad people in the end. Reading doesn’t just teach you new words.

Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old. Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks (咔哒声) in his mouth to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar (用声音导航). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. He started the organization World Access for the Blind (WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works. “When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect (反射) and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.” Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. “It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way,” he says. “But most people in the world are afraid of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I never fell down and hurt myself.” He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. Seeing isn’t in the eyes. It’s in the mind. 1．Kish moves around using sonar because ________.

Along the way, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to watch the fantastic view (风景). However, when I arrived there, I found there were so many people and the noisy sounds made me very sad.

The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment. Then I started climbing. I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland. After enjoying the view for a while, I decided to go on my journey and headed for a quiet lake. Along the way, I was so happy that I even sang a song. The water there was so clear that I could even see the beautiful stones in the lake. Ducks swam slowly and quietly. I rested on the grass and enjoyed the nice moment. This trip shows me that we can find beautiful things in places we don’t think of.

How could you smile so brightly?” the king walked close and asked. “Today I earned enough money fixing (修理) shoes to buy a piece of bread!” “But what if not tomorrow?” “I have faith (信心),” the cobbler answered. “All will be well.” This impressed (给……留下印象) the king, and when he left, he wondered what would happen if the cobbler could not earn his bread. The next morning in the market, the king decreed: no one was allowed (允许) to repair shoes. Whenever someone’s shoes wore out (穿破), that person must buy a new pair. That evening the king dressed in rags and quietly followed to the cobbler’s house to see if he was crying, but through the window, he saw the cobbler drinking soup and smiling. The king knocked. “I came to see if you were all right,” he said. “You saw the new decree? How did you pay for this soup?” the king broke in. “I carried water for an old woman, and she rewarded me with a coin,” the man said. “Please come and share my soup. You look hungry.” “But what will you do tomorrow?” the king asked. “I have faith,” the man said. “All will be well.” The king went up and asked, “Do you know who I am?” “Of course.” the man said, “you are the king.” The king shook (摇动) his head and said, “I am the beggar (乞丐) who came to your door.” 1．The underlined word “decreed” means “________”.

Then she jumped around with both her hands shaking, trying to scare away the bug. Her reaction was very strong and everyone in her group got into fear (恐惧). The woman finally got the bug off her, but then it landed on another woman in the group. Now, it was her turn to continue the drama. A waiter rushed to the table. The woman somehow managed to get the bug on the waiter. The waiter stood quietly and looked at the bug on his shirt. He carefully picked up the bug and threw it out of a window. Drinking my coffee and watching the drama go on, I started wondering: Was the bug responsible (负责的) for what they behaved just now? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed (干扰)? He solved the problem perfectly without any fear. It was not the bug, but the inability of those people to deal with the disturbance caused by the bug that disturbed them. I realized that it was not the shouting of my father or my boss that disturbed me, but my inability to deal with the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbed me.

How can we help such people? Now a new and exciting invention allows deaf people to see conversations in real time. Using augmented reality (AR，增强现实技术) glasses and a smartphone, deaf people are also able to join in everyday conversations. The AR glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he had a Christmas dinner with his family. The man saw his 97-year-old hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly. The images of his grandfather always watching TV shows with subtitles (字幕) crossed Scarfe’s mind. He suddenly realized that maybe the AR glasses could help. Scarfe got to work, working with Nreal, an AR glasses maker. Six months later, a new pair of AR glasses came out. The glasses have a microphone that receives the audio (音频) from the environment and sends it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles from that audio and these subtitles then appear on the user’s glasses screen. The company first tested the glasses in the UK. The UK was chosen as a testing ground as over 13 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it could change the lives of millions of people. This is a great change for the deaf. Mark Atkinson, who is using the AR glasses, said, “As a deaf person myself, I am blown away by this new technology. When I tried on the glasses for the first time, I was so happy. Real-time subtitles made me become part of the conversation as never before.” 1．What tools must a deaf person have if he wants to join in the conversation? ①A microcomputer.    ②A smartphone.    ③A pair of AR glasses.    ④A laptop. A．①② B．②③ C．①③ D．②④ 2．Who made Dan Scarfe want to develop the AR glasses? A．His father. B．His friend. C．His grandfather. D．A glasses maker. 3．Why was the UK chosen as a testing ground for the AR glasses? A．Because it has a large population with hearing loss. B．Because the company Nreal is based in the UK. C．Because the government provided the money. D．Because Dan Scarfe is from the UK. 4．What does the underlined part “am blown away by” probably mean? A．Be scared of. B．Be excited at. C．Be worried about. D．Be bored with. Passage 2 ①China’s first cartoon came out in 1926. Today, after over 90 years, Chinese cartoons have brought us a lot of fun time. Some of them teach us about culture as well. Here are three great cartoons for you. ②The Magic Brush is a great example of Chinese puppet animation (木偶动画). Ma Liang is the main character in this cartoon. He is a poor boy who loves painting. He has a magic brush and it can make his drawings become real. The brush also brings him a lot of trouble. He has to deal with (处理) it with his magic brush. ③Little Tadpoles (蝌蚪) Looking for Mom is China’s first ink-painting (水墨画) cartoon. In this cartoon, a group of tadpoles want to find their mother. On the way, they meet a golden fish, a crab (螃蟹) and a turtle (乌龟). From them, they learn what their mother looks like. Finally, they find their mother, a frog. ④Calabash (葫芦) Brothers was made in 1986. It is the most well-known paper-cut cartoon. Two bad guys live in the Calabash Mountains. To fight them, an old man grows seven calabashes. When the calabashes ripen, they change into seven boys. They must work together to fight the bad guys. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指)? A．The great example. B．The main character. C．The poor boy.

Passage 3 If you asked scientists whether monkeys and chimpanzees (黑猩猩) had a sense (感觉) of right and wrong before they had a deep study on them, they would tell you that it seemed not possible. It was believed that only humans could imagine (想象) the future. Some people said that most monkeys were cleverer than most dogs. What’s more, if dogs seemed unhappy when they did something bad, some people believed that dogs learnt such an action to make their owners happy. It doesn’t mean that dogs understand why their owners are angry. It doesn’t mean that animals can think about the future. Now, however, it appears that chimpanzees and monkeys may be able to think about the future. Santino is a chimpanzee and he lives at a zoo in Sweden. He is famous for his bad mood. Santino doesn’t like being looked at by visitors and he often throws stones at them. Before visitors walk into the zoo, he must have decided if he is prepared for visiting days. He begins collecting stones so that he is fully ready to throw them when people come to see him. The interesting thing is that Santino would only collect stones when he thinks visitors might come. In winter when the zoo is closed, he doesn’t collect them. Santino’s action is a clear example of an animal planning for the future. It’s also an example to show “scientific” beliefs come from facts rather than opinions (观点). It seems likely that within ten years, we shall have a completely different view of animal intelligence (智慧). 1．What did scientists think of animals before? A．They could think about the future. B．They couldn’t understand their owners. C．They couldn’t know the right and wrong. D．They could share people’s happiness and sadness. 2．Why does Santino collect many stones? A．Because he wants to build a wall. B．Because he likes to play with stones. C．Because the keeper asks him to do so. D．Because he wants to throw them at visitors. 3．Which paragraph gives an example to show animals can also plan for the future? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 4．What does the writer want to tell us? A．Monkeys are much cleverer than dogs. B．Dogs can understand their owners’ feelings. C．Only human-like animals can think about the future. D．We should use facts to show truth instead of opinions. Passage 4 Fish babies in space (太空)? What surprising news! In a space study on zebra fish, Chinese scientists have set a new record. They successfully got four zebra fish to live and grow healthily in a closed water world. The zebra fish went to China’s space station on the Shenzhou XIII spaceship on 25th April, 2024. Since then, they have been living in a closed fish tank (缸) with some plants. The fish grew up and had babies in 43 days. It means that the fish completed a whole life stage, from growth to development and giving babies. In their special closed environment, the plants made air for the fish and the fish’s waste gave the plants food. The scientists gave the fish food through a special needle (针管). Such a closed environment is important for future studies in space. It means that plants and animals can live in space more easily. The scientists also found that the zebra fish acted differently in space. For example, they often swam on their backs in space. The low gravity (重力) in space is a big reason. However, on Earth, gravity pulls everything to the Earth’s centre, and animals can find their way easily. Gravity also makes their bodies work harder and become stronger. It isn’t the first time fish have been sent into space. Zebra fish were earlier sent to the space station in 1976. Why do scientists choose zebra fish? Humans and zebra fish share 70 per cent of the same genes (基因). So the new finding will help scientists better understand human health and human diseases. 1．What do we know about the space study? A．There were more than four zebra fish at last. B．It took scientists less than one month to finish the study. C．It took place in an open fish tank. D．Scientists from different countries did it together. 2．Which picture should be in the circle with “?” to show the environment in the fish tank? A．B．C． D． 3．What’s the possible result of the low gravity in space? A．Human bodies get stronger. B．Animals can easily find their way. C．The zebra fish swim on their backs. D．The zebra fish swim in the same direction. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The importance of the study. B．The ways of the space study. C．Further studies on zebra fish. D．The differences between zebra fish and humans. Passage 5 ①Children are gaining (增加) weight. Today most teenagers are at least one size larger than children were 20 years ago. Even clothing sizes have changed. Did you know that a small size today used to be a medium one 20 years ago? ②A recent study shows 97% of children need more exercise. It’s bad news because too little exercise means you are missing a lot of good things in life. Exercise helps you in two ways. ③First, exercise helps your body. Physical activity can make your body strong. It can also keep you at a healthy weight. Doctors say that people who stay at a healthy weight have fewer health problems. ④Second, exercise can help your mind. People who get a lot of physical activity might worry less and sleep better at night. You may even learn better in school. Students who are healthy can listen and understand better in class. ⑤You can change your life and be more active at any point. It’s never too late. An article called “How to Limit Screen Time and Get Moving” gives these ideas: Limit the screen time. Doctors call watching TV or playing video games screen time. You should have no more than two hours of screen time a day. You will enjoy life more if you live it instead of watching it! Make fitness fun. Find a sport you like. It doesn’t need to be the traditional sports of basketball, soccer, or baseball. Those are all great sports if you like them and play them. However, you can also try hiking, skateboarding, or even jumping rope. If you enjoy the sport, you will do it. Exercise with others. Find a friend or family member to exercise or play with you. 1．Where might you find this passage? A．In a storybook. B．In a magazine. C．In an add.

But before you throw it away, your mother stops you. She doesn’t want to waste (浪费) food. She cuts off the molds part and eats the rest. Is it safe to do this? Mold can grow on almost all kinds of food. It is usually green, white, black or gray. Mold makes food soft and changes its color. Mold food tastes quite bad, and it’s not safe to eat. If you find mold in soft food, just throw it away. Soft food, such as bread, tomatoes or hot dogs, usually contains water. This allows mold to easily grow. Bacteria (细菌) can also grow along with it. But it’s easy to remove mold from hard food. The mold can’t grow very deep in this kind of food. According to the BBC, you should cut about 2.5 cm around and below the mold to remove it. It’s OK to cut the mold parts out of hard food and eat the rest. But if the food is covered (覆盖) with mold all over, you should still throw it away. ________ But some kinds of mold can be used to make food. For example, penicillium (青霉菌) can be used to make many kinds of cheese, such as blue cheese. These cheese are safe to eat, and they are quite delicious. 1．The writer starts the passage by ________.

But it did not become a sport until late in the 20th century. Now it’s popular all over the world. If you have done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need lots of practice. Most people don’t know that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on (依靠) your body and mind. To climb successfully, you must know about some rules. One important rule is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up. The third rule is that the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb. Rock climbing is very exciting for people of different ages. Once you start to learn how to climb. you will find lots of fun. People who like games such as playing chess and cards may also love rock climbing because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to be in good shape (身材) rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys difficult games and loves sports could think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby. 1．From Paragraph 2, we know that ______.

Two days later, she opened an account (账户) on Sina Weibo to meet fans and won over 2,000 followers (拥护者，追随者) on Weibo in about nine hours. In her first Weibo post, Hua Zhibing wrote that she would start studying in the computer laboratory (实验室) in Tsinghua University. There is also a video introducing her in the first post. In the video, she says, “I’ve been interested in literature (文学) and art since I was born. The scientists not only gave me my look and my voice but also taught me to sing and make music.” “The face and voice of the girl in the video were virtually synthesized (合成的) by AI,” said Tang Jie, one of the main developers of Hua Zhibing. “We hope she can keep learning and communicate with others in the future.” The appearance of Hua Zhibing soon became a hot topic online. Some were surprised that how China has advanced (进步) in the field of AI. Some people said they wondered if scientists would make a human-like robot named Hua Zhibing, rather than a virtual face and voice. 1．Which subject would Hua Zhibing study in Tsinghua University?

Passage 9 Taking notes (笔记) is an important part of learning. Students listen to the teacher. They write down the important things. Or they use a computer. These days, many students take a computer to class to type (打字) their notes. Some people think that using a computer is better. People type faster than they write. That means they can write more. If you can type fast, you can type every word the teacher says. Computers are becoming very common in classrooms. Almost every student in university has a computer small enough to take to class in order to type notes. Fewer students write things down. So there is a trend in schools now to spend less time on teaching kids how to write. Schools are moving away from teaching younger students how to write by hand. Many people see no need for writing by hand. However, studies advise that it is good to write things down. When people can’t write every word, they have to think about it more. They have to pick out what is important. And the act of writing seems to help them to remember. Studies show that people who write down their notes remember the information better. A new study, done by Princeton University and University of California, found that students who took notes by hand learned more than those who used a computer. In the study, 65 university students listened to the teacher and took notes with pens or computers. Then they did tests about how well they remembered and understood the lesson. Results show that pen users do better than those who take notes with their computers. 1．People think it’s better to use a computer to take notes because they can ________. A．get more useful information B．find everything on computer C．type faster than they write D．get every word the teacher says 2．If we say something is a “trend”, we may mean it is “becoming ________”. A．possible B．simple C．common D．important 3．The writer tells us it is good to write things down by ________. A．telling us an interesting story B．asking and answering questions C．giving us a piece of advice D．showing the results of a study 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Schools won’t teach students how to write by hand. B．Writing the things down can help us to remember. C．Students need to take a computer to class in university. D．It’s important for students to learn how to take notes. Passage 10 Do you know “hui nan tian” (“hui chao”in Chinese)? It is a special weather phenomenon (现象) in southern China. It usually comes in spring when temperatures (温度) begin to warm up and the weather gets wetter and wetter quickly. Usually, before hui nan tian arrives, there are a few cold days, with a temperature below 12℃. As the cold air goes away, warmer air quickly comes and the temperature goes up. Then there is a lot of water vapor (蒸汽) everywhere, like on windows and walls. What is worse, the wet weather makes it easy for bacteria (细菌) to grow. Food often goes bad. Clothes are always wet. It can be dangerous when people turn on their televisions to watch TV. People will feel tired and sick during this time. To help people live through hui nan tian, scientists say that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening. At the same time, don’t mop (拖) floors very often. It’s also useful to put newspapers on the floor or at the door to take in water and wet air. 1．What is the weather like during hui nan tian? A．It is warm and wet. B．There is heavy rain every day. C．The temperature goes down quickly. D．It is cold with strong winds. 2．According to Paragraph 2, which of the following is TRUE? A．Plants grow quite fast at this time.

A．To show us the interesting stories of hui nan tian. B．To tell us what to do during hui nan tian. C．To tell us to stay away from hui nan tian. D．To tell us something about a kind of special weather. Passage 11 ①We know that with thousands of years of developing, people are becoming better at languages. But at the same time, language can also affect (影响) us in different aspects (方面). ②First, many studies on bilingual (双语) people show that when people change between two languages, they must think more actively than just using one, especially in the prefrontal cortex. This part at the very front of our brain is important for handling (处理) information. And bilinguals learn new languages faster. Bilingualism might make the brain stronger. One researcher found that lifelong bilinguals often get brain illnesses later than those who know only one language. Another study shows that bilinguals get well sooner. ③Language can also affect how we see the world. Studies show that English speakers think of time from back to front. But Chinese speakers think of time in the opposite way. A study found that Greek speakers could find out different colours of blue faster and better than English speakers. People who speak languages like Spanish and French may connect words with men or women traits (性状). ④What’s more, language might shape (塑造) our personality (个性). Bilinguals sometimes describe the same picture differently depending on the language they use. Studies also show that bilingual children are better at understanding others’ ideas. ⑤In short, language seems to have a bigger affect on us. The more languages we learn, the cleverer we might be. There’s still a lot to learn. 1．What do we learn about “the prefrontal cortex”? A．It makes our brain stronger. B．It’s a front part of our brain. C．It is not good for our health. D．It brings illnesses to people. 2．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．The way Spanish people think of time is different from others. B．The Greeks feel different blues faster and better than Englishmen. C．Both English and Chinese people think of time from back to front. D．Frenchmen and Japanese people connect words with men and women traits. 3．Which of the following is the structure (结构) of the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To tell how to learn languages. B．To introduce the prefrontal cortex. C．To show how language developed. D．To make people learn languages. Passage 12 As everyone knows, time management is important. The more wisely (明智地) we manage our time, the better our lives will be. But do you know how to manage time wisely? Here’s some advice that may be helpful for you. First, it’s important to make a schedule (计划表). Write down the things you need to do for the day, such as schoolwork, homework, and free time activities. This helps you keep things clear and makes sure you’ve finished everything important that day. Second, prioritize (把……区分优先次序) your plans. Start with the most important or difficult ones, and then move on to the easier ones. This way, you can work out the biggest things first and feel pleased with what you have completed. Lastly, don’t let other things get in your way. Focus (专注) on one thing at a time, and try not to get distracted (分心) by TV, games, or the Internet. By staying focused, you can complete things more quickly and better. Remember, time management is a skill that gets better with practice. Keep trying, and you’ll see great improvements! $ 考前押题09 阅读理解 3大常考题型 题型1 应用文 题型2 记叙文 题型3 说明文 题型1 应用文 Passage 1 Potato Soup What You’ll Need What to Do ●2~3 large potatoes ●1/2 medium yellow onion ●1~2 carrots ●2 cabbages●3 cups of gravy (enough to cover the vegetables) ●1 bottle of milk ●salt and pepper ★Before you begin, wash and peel the potatoes and the onion.

A small, happy little dog learned about this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he jumped happily up the stairs and to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway. His ears lifted up, and his tail wagged as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile and was answered with 1,000 great smiles that were just as warm and friendly as his. As he left the house, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place. I will come back to visit it often.” In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the other one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the doorway. When he saw the 1,000 unfriendly-looking dogs looking back at him, he shouted at them. He was afraid when he saw 1,000 little dogs shouting back. As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a terrible place. I will never go back there again.” All the faces in the world are mirrors of you. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of people you meet? 1．What does the underlined word “wagged” in Paragraph 2 mean?

To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.”可知，快乐的小狗尾巴快速“wagged”，且其他小狗也做出同样动作，结合常识，小狗开心时会摇摆尾巴，“wagged”意为“摇摆”，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“To his great surprise, he found himself looking at 1,000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.

He was afraid when he saw 1,000 little dogs shouting back.”可知，第二只小狗本身不太开心，参观时也表现出消极状态，故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据“All the faces in the world are mirrors of you.

They did this to show their respects to the soldiers who tried to free the region. This year is the 30th year of the “walking ideological and political education class (行走的思政课)”. It started in 1995 and has inspired more than 30,000 students. The walk starts before sunrise. The people taking part carry white flowers they made by hand and sing songs like Unity Means Power (《团结就是力量》). They walk on muddy mountain paths to Renshanhe Martyrs’ Cemetery (任山河烈士陵园). 391 soldiers were buried there. Many of them were only 18 to 25 years old. The walk is difficult. People often face rain, snow and tiredness. This activity combines history with practical learning. Students write poems for the martyrs and act out historical stories in lessons. At the cemetery, they clean the tombstones and read the names of the dead soldiers. One student said, “Touching the cold stones made me know what sacrifice (牺牲) really means.” Over the years, this walk has become a national model for education. Schools in China now organize trips like this. The live broadcasts in 2024-2025 attracted over 100 million viewers. New technologies, like “AI facial reconstructions of martyrs”, make students “talk” to historical figures(人物), which makes the experience even better. Many former students, like spacecraft designer Yan Qi, said the walk taught them to be strong and work as a team. Teachers said it helps students understand the cost of peace better. This 30-year-old tradition shows that education is not just about books. It’s about feeling history with your feet and your heart. As a teacher said, “When students walk this path, they carry on memory and responsibility.” 1．When did the “walking ideological and political education class” start? A．In 1949. B．In 1995. C．In 2021. D．In 2025. 2．What do participants (参与者) do during the walk? A．They drive cars through mountain paths. B．They carry machine-made flowers. C．They sing songs like Unity Means Power. D．They study Maths problems together. 3．Why does the article mention “AI facial reconstructions of martyrs”? A．To show that technology is more important than walking. B．To explain how schools use new tools to make history more vivid. C．To prove that all schools must use AI in education. D．To describe a new game students play during the walk. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To describe a hard physical activity. B．To stress the importance of textbooks. C．To introduce an innovative educational model. D．To criticize traditional teaching methods. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了宁夏固原市2300多名师生通过54公里徒步行走的方式纪念革命烈士，并介绍了这一持续30年的“行走的思政课”教育模式及其深远影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“This year is the 30th year of the ‘walking ideological and political education class’.

Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old. Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks (咔哒声) in his mouth to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar (用声音导航). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. He started the organization World Access for the Blind (WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works. “When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect (反射) and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.” Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. “It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way,” he says. “But most people in the world are afraid of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I never fell down and hurt myself.” He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. Seeing isn’t in the eyes.

My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.”可知，声呐能让他的大脑将声音转化为脑海中的图像，从而“看见”世界。故选B。 2．词义猜测题。根据“He learned to make clicks (咔哒声) in his mouth to help him move around.

I expected to feel the beauty of nature in a quiet place, but now it was much too noisy. But I didn’t give up and went on climbing the mountain. As I walked on, there were fewer people and the view became more and more beautiful. When I reached another place called Mount Greenview, I saw a place full of green plants and colorful flowers. The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment. Then I started climbing. I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland. After enjoying the view for a while, I decided to go on my journey and headed for a quiet lake. Along the way, I was so happy that I even sang a song. The water there was so clear that I could even see the beautiful stones in the lake. Ducks swam slowly and quietly. I rested on the grass and enjoyed the nice moment. This trip shows me that we can find beautiful things in places we don’t think of.

I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland.”可知，然后作者开始爬山，迫不及待地想看更多。山顶的景色让作者感觉自己仿佛置身于爱丽丝的仙境。由此可知，画线句意思是“景色如此迷人，作者感觉它就像一场梦”。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to watch the fantastic view.

One day the king found a cobbler (鞋匠) in the market, who wore ragged (衣衫褴褛) clothes and looked very thin, but his smile was as bright as the moon. “Surely you must worry. How could you smile so brightly?” the king walked close and asked. “Today I earned enough money fixing (修理) shoes to buy a piece of bread!” “But what if not tomorrow?” “I have faith (信心),” the cobbler answered. “All will be well.” This impressed (给……留下印象) the king, and when he left, he wondered what would happen if the cobbler could not earn his bread. The next morning in the market, the king decreed: no one was allowed (允许) to repair shoes. Whenever someone’s shoes wore out (穿破), that person must buy a new pair. That evening the king dressed in rags and quietly followed to the cobbler’s house to see if he was crying, but through the window, he saw the cobbler drinking soup and smiling. The king knocked. “I came to see if you were all right,” he said. “You saw the new decree? How did you pay for this soup?” the king broke in. “I carried water for an old woman, and she rewarded me with a coin,” the man said. “Please come and share my soup. You look hungry.” “But what will you do tomorrow?” the king asked. “I have faith,” the man said. “All will be well.” The king went up and asked, “Do you know who I am?” “Of course.” the man said, “you are the king.” The king shook (摇动) his head and said, “I am the beggar (乞丐) who came to your door.” 1．The underlined word “decreed” means “________”.
