Parks feel like magical places that bring me calm and peace. Even though there aren’t any big traditional parks near my home, I’m lucky to have small pocket parks nearby. They are perfect for a short break whenever I feel bored. ②Pocket parks are small green spaces that can be found in many places. They are often between buildings, on street corners, or even on rooftops (屋顶). One best part is how these parks are close enough for people to just walk there, making them easy to visit. Even though pocket parks are small, they are beautifully designed with different kinds of plants. In these lovely spaces, you can take a walk, have a picnic with friends, or practice gentle activities like Tai Chi or yoga. Pocket parks also have play areas for children, making them great for families to spend time together. ③What makes pocket parks special is their ability to bring people together. They are places where neighbors can meet, chat, and get to know each other. Even a simple smile or a friendly nod can make someone’s day better. The warm and welcoming atmosphere (氛围) helps people feel connected and at home in their neighborhoods. ④Pocket parks help make cities more sustainable—they provide cleaner air, peaceful spaces, and keep the environment healthy for the future. They will make city life better in the long term. Many cities in China are now working to create more pocket parks. For example, according to government reports, Shenyang has over 3,000 pocket parks, making it the city with the most pocket parks in China. In 2024, Shanghai added 76 new pocket parks, showing how important these small green spaces are to city life. ⑤Pocket parks in big cities show us that small things matter. They teach us to slow down, connect, and care for our planet. 26. Why does the writer like visiting pocket parks? A. To play team sports. B. To find calm and peace. C. To enjoy free picnics. D. To learn gardening skills. 27. Which words best describe pocket parks according to Paragraph 2? A. Traditional and expensive. B. Modern and noisy. C. Convenient and helpful. D. Crowded and boring. 28. How do pocket parks help neighborhoods? A. By connecting people. B. By building playgrounds. C. By offering quiet places. D. By planting kinds of trees. 29.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了口袋公园的特点、作用以及对城市生活的重要性。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Parks feel like magical places that bring me calm and peace.”以及“I’m lucky to have small pocket parks nearby. They are perfect for a short break whenever I feel bored.”可知，作者觉得公园是神奇的地方，能带来平静与安宁，口袋公园就在附近，无聊时去那里短暂休息很完美，所以作者喜欢去口袋公园是为了寻找平静与安宁。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One best part is how these parks are close enough for people to just walk there, making them easy to visit.”可知口袋公园距离近，人们可以步行到达，很容易去参观，这体现了口袋公园的便利性；再根据“In these lovely spaces, you can take a walk, have a picnic with friends, or practice gentle activities like Tai Chi or yoga.

They are places where neighbors can meet, chat, and get to know each other.”可知，口袋公园的特别之处在于它能把人们聚集在一起，是邻居们见面、聊天、互相了解的地方，即口袋公园通过连接人们来帮助社区。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“they provide cleaner air, peaceful spaces, and keep the environment healthy for the future. They will make city life better in the long term.”可知，口袋公园提供更清洁的空气、宁静的空间，保持环境健康，从长远来看会让城市生活更好，这些都是对城市未来发展有好处的事情，所以“sustainable”意思是“对城市未来发展有好处的”。故选D。 【30题详解】 篇章结构题。第一段，作者表明自己喜欢去口袋公园，引出话题；第二至四段分别从三个方面介绍口袋公园的位置、特殊作用以及对城市可持续发展的帮助；第五段总结口袋公园的意义，即告诉我们小事也很重要，要放慢脚步、相互联系、关爱地球。选项B符合文章结构。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使组文通顺、连贯。（选项中有一项多余） 阅读短文，从下面所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余) Asking for something politely is a very important skill in our daily life.

A student called Davis said that reading to a younger buddy was really helpful. He became more and more confident (自信的), as he knew he was a role model for someone. The school also became a closer community. The reading buddies felt closer as they often met each other. The students were always excited when they saw their buddies pass by in the hallway. Reading is like a wonderful journey. Buddy reading makes this journey even more fantastic. Now winter vacation is coming. It’s a great time to get into books.

They are perfect for a short break whenever I feel bored. ②Pocket parks are small green spaces that can be found in many places. They are often between buildings, on street corners, or even on rooftops (屋顶). One best part is how these parks are close enough for people to just walk there, making them easy to visit. Even though pocket parks are small, they are beautifully designed with different kinds of plants. In these lovely spaces, you can take a walk, have a picnic with friends, or practice gentle activities like Tai Chi or yoga. Pocket parks also have play areas for children, making them great for families to spend time together. ③What makes pocket parks special is their ability to bring people together.
