Although her father was too old and weak to fight, he could still teach her to ride a horse and use a sword (剑). Girls usually did not learn these skills at that time. But Mulan’s father believed everyone should know how to fight, even girls. And Mulan also believed that girls could be as brave as men. One day, the emperor (皇帝) sent soldiers to Mulan’s village. Because war was coming, men were needed for the army. The army leader of the soldiers put up a list of names in the village square. Each name meant one man from each family. Mulan saw her father’s name on the list. She knew her father couldn’t fight in a war. Mulan’s brother was a little child. Only Mulan could take her father’s place. But the army did not take girls as replacements for fighting men. Quietly, the next morning, before her father could report for duty, Mulan stole her father’s armor (盔甲). She dressed herself up as a man. The soldiers accepted “him” in her father’s place. Mulan was very careful and fought bravely as other soldiers over the years. No one found that she was a girl. When the war was over, Mulan received a special award from the emperor for her courage. The emperor gave her a horse and a bag of treasure. Her family greeted her with joy. Her brother was pleased with the gift of her army clothes. Mulan dressed once again in the clothes of a woman. That evening, Mulan and her family got together to watch the sunset. Two of the men who had worked with Mulan in the war stopped by her home on their way home. When Mulan greeted them, they could not believe their eyes. One of them shouted, “Are you really Mulan?” After recalling many moments, they finally believed that Mulan was a woman. They spread Mulan’s story across China. It inspired many young women, and they wanted to learn to ride a horse and use a sword. 1．According to the passage, why did Mulan decide to join the army instead of her father? A．Because she dreamed of becoming a soldier and gaining honor. B．Because her father refused to fight for the emperor. C．Because her father was too old and weak, and her brother was too young.

Marco Polo was one of the world’s most famous explorers (探险家). He was born in Venice, Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he went on a trip to Asia that lasted 24 years. Marco Polo’s travel later influenced many people. In 1271, Marco Polo left Venice with his father and uncle and set out for Asia. The purpose of their trip was to meet with Kublai Khan who ruled a large part of Asia. On their way to meet the king at his palace in China, they traveled through much of the Middle East and Central Asia. In 1275, they finally arrived at the palace of Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan liked Marco Polo so much that he wanted Marco Polo to work for him. So, the king sent Marco Polo to different places in China, India and Burma. Marco Polo stayed in China with Kublai Khan for 17 years. He observed and recorded everything in detail during his journeys. Over that time, he collected many jewels and lots of gold. Marco saw paper made by the Chinese. People in China had also discovered how to paint on paper. They had many books and even used paper money! Marco Polo returned to Venice with his father and uncle in 1295. People often went to Marco Polo’s home to hear stories about his travels. He became a great storyteller. Marco Polo was famous as “the man with a million stories”. He later met a writer who was crazy about his stories. The writer liked them so much that he wrote a book about Marco Polo’s travels. The book about Marco Polo’s travels taught Europeans about places in Asia they knew little about. The book also taught people about the geography of Asia. Some of these people were explorers who used the information in Marco Polo’s book on their own journeys.

Here is what he wrote about Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists in the world. But if I had to describe him in a single word, I’d choose “simplicity”. Let’s learn more about him. Once, he was caught in a downpour. Surprisingly, he only took off his hat and held it under his coat. When people asked why he did that, he said the rain would damage the hat. But his hair would be fine even if it was completely wet. I first met him in 1935, at the institute (学院) for Advanced Study in Princeton. He was among the first to work there. The director paid him a large amount of money. But to everyone’s surprise, he only took a little. I respected him very much, so I hesitated before going to his office to ask for help. When I finally knocked on his door, a gentle voice said, “Come in.” I entered and found he was sitting at a table, calculating (计算) and smoking, with his hair in a mess. As I began to explain my ideas, he asked me to write the equations (方程式) on the blackboard so he could see how they developed. Then he said gently, “Please go slowly. I do not understand things quickly.” I couldn’t believe it was from him. From then on, all my fear was gone. It’s said that through a drop of water we can see the light of the day, and that with a grain of sand we can feel the whole world. Today, these little things in life let us see the personality charm (魅力) of this great scientist. 1．What did Banesh Hoffmann think of Albert Einstein？ A．He thought he was simple.

D．When Einstein became famous around the world. “Granny Huang, granny Huang, teach me spinning, teach me weaving...” Have you ever read this ballad (民谣)? Do you know who Granny Huang refers to? If you answered “Huang Daopo”, then—Bingo!—you are right! spin and weave Huang Daopo was one of the most famous women in the Chinese textile (纺织) industry. The woman, however, had an unhappy childhood. Huang was born in Wunijing—today’s Huajing Town in Xuhui, Shanghai—about 700 years ago. Her family was very poor. At the age of ten, she was sold into marriage. Unable to bear the ill treatment of her parents-in-law, she ran away from home. She hid herself on a ship and was accidentally brought to Yazhou—today’s Sanya in Hainan. Yazhou was famous for its cotton. The Li people there had started a textile industry. Huang stayed with Li women for more than 30 years and learned spinning and weaving from them. Around 1285, Huang returned to Shanghai and stayed in Songjiang. She taught local villagers to spin and weave. Meanwhile, she improved weaving machines and tools, allowing people to work faster and produce better quality textiles. With Huang’s efforts, Songjiang saw its textile industry develop quickly. The spinning and weaving skills then spread across the city. Soon, Shanghai became one of China’s most famous cotton processing centers. Naturally, Huang was highly respected by people in Shanghai. After she died, the locals built a temple in her hometown to remember her. They also created many ballads about her. Now, a new memorial hall for Huang Daopo has been built in Huajing, Shanghai. The hall has a collection of more than 300 exhibits. Visitors can learn more about Granny Huang and the history of Shanghai’s textile industry.

He passed away in Beijing on October 18, 2025, when he was 103 years old. As a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a teacher at Tsinghua University, he was hailed as “immortal” (不朽的) in the university’s notice because of his great contributions (贡献). Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui, in 1922. He had a wonderful study life. First, he studied at famous universities in China. Later, he went to the US to learn more and got his PhD from the University of Chicago. In 1957, he worked with his partner Tsung-dao Lee and put forward the theory (理论) of parity non-conservation in weak interaction. For this great work, they won the Nobel Prize in Physics. They became the first Chinese to get this prize. Yang’s “Yang-Mills theory” (杨-米尔斯理论) is also seen as an important part of modern physics. Yang loved his motherland deeply. In 1971, he visited China for the first time. After that, he helped build links between Chinese and American scientists. He gave advice on China’s scientific development, raised money for Chinese scholars (学者) to study abroad, and in 1999, he went back to Tsinghua University. He worked hard to train young talent and help develop basic scientific research in China. Yang lived a long life of 103 years. He was a legend who explored the unknown and served his country.

Ahmed had been competing in cyclocross for three years, but this was Ryan’s first race. He wished he could remember everything Ahmed had taught him. Ryan reviewed the last six months in his mind. From the moment Ahmed had first asked whether he would like to try the sport, Ryan had been excited. Ahmed explained the importance of practising and set up a plan for them two to practise together. Practising was hard. Ryan soon got bored with working on the same skills over and over. He was ready to race! Ryan ended up skipping many of the practices. When Ryan did go to practices, he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than listening to Ahmed’s tips. The big race day finally arrived. “Now the real fun begins,” Ryan said excitedly as he sat at the starting line. “You need to get serious,” Ahmed warned. “Cyclocross can be dangerous.” Bang! The starting gun went off. The boys rushed off the starting line. Ryan saw the first obstacle ahead. It was a series of small hurdles (障碍). “Here I go!” Ryan shouted when he reached the hurdles. He jumped off his bike and landed hard on his foot. Next, he had to get his bike onto his shoulder. Ryan could not remember what Ahmed said about shouldering the bike. He tried to pick it up by the wheels but it dropped. Finally, he got his bike off the ground. As he ran, the bike’s weight pressed down on his shoulder, and he lost his balance, unable to stay on his feet. Before he knew it, he was lying face-down in the mud. “Are you okay?” Ryan heard his friend ask. Ahmed reached down to help Ryan. Ryan was thankful that Ahmed cared more about him than about the race. He caught Ahmed’s hand and stood. “Ouch!” Ryan cried. It hurt to put weight on his ankle. “You were right, Ahmed.

Weekend Family Traditions: The Smiths’ Story Weekends are a special time for families to get together. For the Smith family—Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, 15-year-old Emma, and 12-year-old Jack—weekends have a set of traditions that they all love. Every Saturday morning, the family starts with “Breakfast Together”. Mrs. Smith makes pancakes, and everyone helps: Mr. Smith mixes the batter, Emma cuts fruits like strawberries and bananas, and Jack sets the table. “We talk about our week while eating,” Emma said. “Last Saturday, Jack told us about his soccer game, and dad shared a funny story from work. It’s a great way to start the day.” After breakfast, they do “Family Chores” together.

Emma taught grandma how to take photos with her phone, and Jack played chess with her. It made grandma very happy.” Saturday evening is “Game Night”. They play board games like chess, Monopoly, or card games. “We never play video games on Game Night,” Mr. Smith said. “We want to talk and laugh together. Sometimes we argue about who wins, but it’s all in good fun.” On Sundays, they usually relax at home. Emma does her homework, Jack reads books, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith prepare for the new week. But they always have dinner together at 6 p.m. “Weekends are short,” Emma said. “But our traditions make every weekend special.

At my age, I know how important grades are — they can decide which high school I’ll get into, not to mention the stress from applications and interviews. Still, grades can feel unimportant sometimes, since good scores only come from hard work and giving up free time. What I truly care about is keeping my friendships and joining the after-school activities I love. I don’t want to choose between schoolwork and the people who study and have fun with me, because these connections help me deal with other worries. I also fear having no one to rely on. I need real, trustworthy support that won’t leave me behind. —Clotilde Dumont, 13, City of London School for Girls, the UK In high school, my worries cover both personal things (family, friendships, school pressure) and big global (全球的) problems that I once thought had nothing to do with me. Some countries are stuck in wars, while others ignore plans that pollute the ocean. I think people often waste time arguing over small things but forget urgent topics like the environment and unfair political control. Joining Model United Nations made me see these global issues clearly, and their complexity (复杂性) really upset me. The way to ease this anxiety is to reflect, learn, and become a more well-rounded person. —Zhang Zhehan, 14, Nanjing Foreign Language School, Jiangsu I often feel anxious when thinking about the present and future. Now that I’m in Grade 9, everything feels overwhelming: endless texts to memorize, piles of homework to finish, and non-stop exams. I’m worried I won’t improve even if I try my best, and I usually hide my weak resilience (恢复力) and exam stress inside. Luckily, nothing is fixed. Sharing these worries with others is better than letting them explode in anger. With strong willpower, I’ll become a better version of myself while dealing with anxiety. At least the world still has so much to offer, and my family, friends and teachers are always there to give advice and help me relax on my life journey. —Tian Yihe, 14, Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School, Hebei 1．What can we infer from Clotilde Dumont’s words about grades? A．Grades are the most important thing to her. B．Good grades can be gotten without effort. C．Good grades come from giving up free time. D．Grades never make her worry at all. 2．What is Zhang Zhehan’s opinion on how people deal with problems? A．People always focus on the right things. B．People argue about small things too often. C．People understand global issues very well. D．People never care about the environment. 3．What does Tian Yihe believe about dealing with anxiety? A．Keeping worries inside is the best way. B．Anxiety is something that cannot change. C．Sharing worries stops them from exploding. D．Only teachers can help with the anxiety. 4．What is the main idea of the whole passage? A．Global issues are more important than personal problems. B．Different teenagers have the same worries. C．Grades and friendships are teenagers’ biggest problems. D．Teenagers try to find ways to deal with stresses. It is widely recognized that consuming carrots benefits our eyes. But according to a study, grapes could be good for eye health as well. A recent study provides encouraging news for individuals trying to enhance their vision, who may not favor carrots. Scientists from Singapore raised the question whether eating foods rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) could influence one’s eye health. Given the fact that grapes are full of antioxidants, they made an experiment that was joined in by 34 adults. Half of them had one and a half cups of grapes each day while the others had a placebo (安慰剂) snack, which tasted like grapes but had no antioxidants. The trial lasted 16 weeks. As planned, all participants were blinded: the 34 adults were unaware of whether they were eating the grapes or the placebo snack. Subsequent analysis revealed that those who ate grapes showed a marked increase in antioxidant capacity and a higher macular pigment optical density (MPOD) (黄斑色素光学密度). The macular pigment plays a crucial role in eye protection against blue light, a lot of which is extensively emitted by digital screens such as those of computers and smartphones. Dr Jung Eun Kim, a researcher of the study, explained that their study was the first to find that eating grapes could improve one’s eye health. Eye health should not be taken for granted. It is important to take action to take good care of one’s eyes. Besides eating foods rich in antioxidants, individuals who often face the screen should adopt protective habits. It is important to take breaks once in a while. Experts commonly recommend the 20-20-20 rule: for every 20 minutes in front of a screen, one should spend 20 seconds looking at something 20 feet away. 1．What was the primary objective of the Singaporean researchers’ study? A．See what carrots and grapes have in common. B．Find out whether eating foods rich in antioxidants influences eye health. C．Check whether the placebo snack is harmful to people’s health. D．Prove why grapes are better than carrots for people. 2．Which of the following about the adults in the experiment is TRUE? A．They were divided into three groups. B．They formed a habit of eating grapes. C．They weren’t told exactly what to eat. D．They knew their eye health could improve a lot. 3．What can we know about the macular pigment? A．It mainly exists in daily food. B．It plays a role in protecting eyes. C．It helps people see more blue light. D．It harms people’s antioxidant abilities. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The advice on eye health care. B．Some ways to choose places to study. C．The importance of protecting our eyes. D．The influence of foods on eye health.

It was then that the fox appeared. “Good morning,” said the fox. “Good morning,” the little prince responded politely, although when he turned around, he saw nothing. “I am right here,” the voice said, “under the apple tree.” “Who are you?” asked the little prince. “You are very pretty to look at.” “I am a fox,” said the fox. “Come and play with me,” proposed the little prince. “I am so unhappy.” “I cannot play with you,” the fox said. “I am not tamed.” “Ah! Please excuse me,” said the little prince. After a pause, he asked, “What does that mean—‘tame’?” “You do not live here,” said the fox. “What is it that you are looking for?” “I am looking for men,” the little prince answered. “What does ‘tame’ mean?” “Men,” said the fox, “they have guns and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens?” “No,” said the little prince. “I am looking for friends. What does ‘tame’ mean?” The fox sat down. “It means to establish ties,” he said. “Establish ties?” “Just that,” the fox replied. “To me, you are still a little boy like a hundred thousand others. And I have no need of you. To you, I am just a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you will be unique in the world... To you, I will be unique in the world...” “I am beginning to understand,” said the little prince. “There is a flower... I think she has tamed me...” The fox nodded. “Or she has tamed you.” “My life is very monotonous,” the little prince said. “I have only my sheep to look after. All chickens are the same to me. And all foxes are the same to me, too. But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Your step will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then, looking at the sky, I shall remember that I am not alone. And your hair is the color of gold. So think how wonderful it will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat fields over there...” The fox gazed at the little prince for a long time. The little prince went back to his questions. “Please... tame me!” he said. “I am ready,” the fox said. “But you must be very patient. First you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day, just a little...” Finally, he looked up at the sky and said softly. “But the stars are beautiful because of a flower that cannot be seen...” 1．How is the talk between the fox and the little prince presented?

Once again the Captain’s will (意愿) won. Silently, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (舰楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon (地平线), like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” As he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor looked into the darkness. The light reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes. A light! Over there!” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships appeared vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly seen. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal Land in sight. “Land Land” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island.

D．Discovering the land on the horizon. These days, an American vlogger has become very popular in China. Through his videos recording daily life in China, he has gained millions of followers. This speed is even faster than a ride on a high-speed rail. Meanwhile, China also extended the foreigners’ visa-free stay to 240 hours, pushing this “China Travel” craze to a new height. Many vloggers came to China with the old impressions of China from 20 years ago. But as soon as they landed, they were shocked to see a completely different China: “Is this really the same place as I thought?” It is clear that these foreign vloggers bring more than just cameras. Through their lenses, China is full of surprises, For example, in Chongqing, “the craziest city in China”, you might see a sweaty vlogger staring at his phone, completely lost in the “3D maze (迷宫)”. What a magic city! In Beijing, some vloggers experience time-travel fun by dressing as ancient royals and taking photos. After these special experiences, it’s time for vloggers to taste real Chinese food! From hotpot and stinky tofu to roast duck and pickled Chinese cabbage fish, different kinds of flavors are enough to make their mouths water. What we have long been used to doing leaves them wide-eyed: paying with mobile phones, travelling by high-speed rail and so on.

After watching these videos, foreign viewers couldn’t resist it anymore! They grabbed their backpacks and began a “trip without planning”. Foreign vloggers’ China travel is actually a “two-way” journey. They set foot on this land with curiosity, and then they are deeply shocked by the great changes taking place in China.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays an important role in China’s medical field. Recently, a bakery run by a Yangzhou hospital has gained popularity by selling six flavors of TCM bread, with waiting time reaching as long as two hours. According to Zhao Wei from the hospital, their average daily sales are now around 4,000 servings. “Many young people prefer to improve their health through TCM. That’s why we put classical TCM into our bread recipes,” he added, “Each flavor costs about 10 yuan, and all the recipes we use are from an official list.” One customer, Caicai, said the bread tasted like an ordinary milk bun with a little herbal (药草的) flavour. “I usually depend on TCM to regulate my overall health condition. So when I heard the hospital was selling this bread, I was so interested that I rushed to the bakery immediately,” said Caicai. Nowadays, hospitals in Tianjin and Guizhou, as well as the famous TCM brand Tongrentang, are also selling similar bread products and winning the hearts of customers. As people are increasingly worried about their health, they are actively looking for healthy food to replace the unhealthy food. Therefore, TCM food is becoming a new trend (趋势) in China. More and more shops are now offering TCM ice cream and milk tea to attract young people. Wang Yi, an expert from Beijing Guang’anmen Hospital, explained that such food is known as “yao shan”, a form of medicated diet. He said that as people focus more on health, medicated diets can help improve public health, prevent diseases and reduce health care costs. However, Wang stated that consumers should consider their personal health conditions when using such products. The government must take action and set strict rules to ensure that this kind of food is safe for everyone. 1．What can we learn about the TCM bread made by Yangzhou Hospital? A．It tastes like milk with a strong herbal flavor. B．It is more expensive than other bakery products. C．It sells so well that customers have to wait for hours. D．It is sold together with TCM milk tea by the hospital. 2．Why has TCM food become a new trend? A．Because it’s produced by famous hospitals and brands. B．Because it meets people’s need to improve their health. C．Because new flavors can help make money for bakeries. D．Because TCM is the most important in the medical field. 3．Which statement about medicated diets does Wang Yi support? A．They are good for our health but require proper use. B．They are used as business tools with little health value. C．They can replace traditional medicine to prevent diseases. D．They are suitable for everyone if they follow national rules. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To give a review of a new social trend. B．To provide better choices for customers. C．To advertise a new product to the public. D．To call for government rules and actions. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解15篇 （广州专用） 本资料共15篇专题训练，从上到下按照难度分层训练 题号 难度 知识点 1 适中 历史人物,记叙文 2 适中 历史人物,记叙文 3 适中 记叙文,科学家 4 适中 记叙文,其他著名人物 5 适中 记叙文,科学家 6 适中 记叙文,朋友,竞技/比赛 7 较易 记叙文,家庭生活 8 适中 说明文,意见/建议,青少年问题 9 适中 记叙文,青少年问题 10 适中 说明文,健康饮食,意见/建议 11 适中 食物,应用文,时文/广告/布告 12 较易 记叙文,文学名著,哲理感悟,寓言童话,词句猜测,细节理解 13 适中 记叙文,文学名著 14 适中 中华文化,说明文 15 适中 中华文化,说明文,健康饮食 Once upon a time, there lived a girl in ancient China named Mulan. Although her father was too old and weak to fight, he could still teach her to ride a horse and use a sword (剑). Girls usually did not learn these skills at that time. But Mulan’s father believed everyone should know how to fight, even girls. And Mulan also believed that girls could be as brave as men. One day, the emperor (皇帝) sent soldiers to Mulan’s village. Because war was coming, men were needed for the army. The army leader of the soldiers put up a list of names in the village square. Each name meant one man from each family. Mulan saw her father’s name on the list. She knew her father couldn’t fight in a war. Mulan’s brother was a little child. Only Mulan could take her father’s place. But the army did not take girls as replacements for fighting men. Quietly, the next morning, before her father could report for duty, Mulan stole her father’s armor (盔甲). She dressed herself up as a man. The soldiers accepted “him” in her father’s place. Mulan was very careful and fought bravely as other soldiers over the years. No one found that she was a girl. When the war was over, Mulan received a special award from the emperor for her courage. The emperor gave her a horse and a bag of treasure. Her family greeted her with joy. Her brother was pleased with the gift of her army clothes. Mulan dressed once again in the clothes of a woman. That evening, Mulan and her family got together to watch the sunset. Two of the men who had worked with Mulan in the war stopped by her home on their way home. When Mulan greeted them, they could not believe their eyes. One of them shouted, “Are you really Mulan?” After recalling many moments, they finally believed that Mulan was a woman. They spread Mulan’s story across China. It inspired many young women, and they wanted to learn to ride a horse and use a sword. 1．According to the passage, why did Mulan decide to join the army instead of her father? A．Because she dreamed of becoming a soldier and gaining honor. B．Because her father refused to fight for the emperor. C．Because her father was too old and weak, and her brother was too young.

He was born in Venice, Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he went on a trip to Asia that lasted 24 years. Marco Polo’s travel later influenced many people. In 1271, Marco Polo left Venice with his father and uncle and set out for Asia. The purpose of their trip was to meet with Kublai Khan who ruled a large part of Asia. On their way to meet the king at his palace in China, they traveled through much of the Middle East and Central Asia. In 1275, they finally arrived at the palace of Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan liked Marco Polo so much that he wanted Marco Polo to work for him. So, the king sent Marco Polo to different places in China, India and Burma. Marco Polo stayed in China with Kublai Khan for 17 years. He observed and recorded everything in detail during his journeys. Over that time, he collected many jewels and lots of gold. Marco saw paper made by the Chinese. People in China had also discovered how to paint on paper. They had many books and even used paper money! Marco Polo returned to Venice with his father and uncle in 1295. People often went to Marco Polo’s home to hear stories about his travels. He became a great storyteller. Marco Polo was famous as “the man with a million stories”. He later met a writer who was crazy about his stories. The writer liked them so much that he wrote a book about Marco Polo’s travels. The book about Marco Polo’s travels taught Europeans about places in Asia they knew little about. The book also taught people about the geography of Asia.

However, to Banesh Hoffmann, the great man was also a friend. Here is what he wrote about Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein was one of the greatest scientists in the world. But if I had to describe him in a single word, I’d choose “simplicity”. Let’s learn more about him. Once, he was caught in a downpour. Surprisingly, he only took off his hat and held it under his coat. When people asked why he did that, he said the rain would damage the hat. But his hair would be fine even if it was completely wet. I first met him in 1935, at the institute (学院) for Advanced Study in Princeton. He was among the first to work there. The director paid him a large amount of money. But to everyone’s surprise, he only took a little. I respected him very much, so I hesitated before going to his office to ask for help. When I finally knocked on his door, a gentle voice said, “Come in.” I entered and found he was sitting at a table, calculating (计算) and smoking, with his hair in a mess. As I began to explain my ideas, he asked me to write the equations (方程式) on the blackboard so he could see how they developed. Then he said gently, “Please go slowly. I do not understand things quickly.” I couldn’t believe it was from him. From then on, all my fear was gone. It’s said that through a drop of water we can see the light of the day, and that with a grain of sand we can feel the whole world. Today, these little things in life let us see the personality charm (魅力) of this great scientist. 1．What did Banesh Hoffmann think of Albert Einstein？ A．He thought he was simple. B．He thought he was strict. C．He thought he was unfriendly. D．He thought he was magical. 2．What does the underlined word “downpour” in Paragraph 3 mean？ A．Waterfall. B．Strong wind. C．Heavy rain. D．Heavy snow. 3．What can we learn about Albert Einstein from Paragraph 4？ A．He was surprised to see Hoffmann. B．He enjoyed giving surprises to others. C．He got lots of money from the director. D．He didn’t ask for lots of money in his work. 4．What does the passage mainly talk about？ A．How Einstein changed the world. B．What Einstein was like in his friend’s eyes. C．Why we should show our respect to scientists. D．When Einstein became famous around the world. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文主要通过Banesh Hoffmann的视角，描述了爱因斯坦的简朴、谦逊以及他在生活中的一些小事，展现了这位伟大科学家的个性魅力。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But if I had to describe him in a single word.

Ahmed had been competing in cyclocross for three years, but this was Ryan’s first race. He wished he could remember everything Ahmed had taught him. Ryan reviewed the last six months in his mind. From the moment Ahmed had first asked whether he would like to try the sport, Ryan had been excited. Ahmed explained the importance of practising and set up a plan for them two to practise together. Practising was hard. Ryan soon got bored with working on the same skills over and over. He was ready to race! Ryan ended up skipping many of the practices. When Ryan did go to practices, he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than listening to Ahmed’s tips. The big race day finally arrived. “Now the real fun begins,” Ryan said excitedly as he sat at the starting line. “You need to get serious,” Ahmed warned. “Cyclocross can be dangerous.” Bang! The starting gun went off. The boys rushed off the starting line. Ryan saw the first obstacle ahead. It was a series of small hurdles (障碍). “Here I go!” Ryan shouted when he reached the hurdles. He jumped off his bike and landed hard on his foot. Next, he had to get his bike onto his shoulder. Ryan could not remember what Ahmed said about shouldering the bike. He tried to pick it up by the wheels but it dropped. Finally, he got his bike off the ground. As he ran, the bike’s weight pressed down on his shoulder, and he lost his balance, unable to stay on his feet. Before he knew it, he was lying face-down in the mud. “Are you okay?” Ryan heard his friend ask. Ahmed reached down to help Ryan. Ryan was thankful that Ahmed cared more about him than about the race. He caught Ahmed’s hand and stood. “Ouch!” Ryan cried. It hurt to put weight on his ankle. “You were right, Ahmed. Cyclocross is about more than strength and speed. Can we spend a few more months training together?

D．Ryan will certainly win the next cyclocross race. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述Ryan首次参加cyclocross比赛，因训练不认真摔倒，在Ahmed帮助下认识到训练的重要性，决定重新一起训练。 1．主旨大意题。根据“Ryan ended up skipping many of the practices…he spent more time doing tricks with his bike than listening to Ahmed’s tips”及后文比赛中Ryan因不熟练摔倒可知，第3段写了Ryan偷懒缺训、训练不认真，暗示了他后续比赛失误的原因，故选B。 2．细节理解题。通读全文可知，故事顺序为：d（Ahmed邀请Ryan尝试cyclocross）→e（Ryan错过很多训练）→c（Ryan扛着自行车跑）→a（Ryan摔进泥里）→b（Ryan从失败中吸取教训），所以正确顺序应为d-e-c-a-b，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Ahmed explained the importance of practising…Ahmed warned…Ahmed reached down to help Ryan”可知，Ahmed赛前提醒Ryan注意安全，赛后优先关心朋友而非比赛，体现出他热心且细心，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Can we spend a few more months training together? I want to finish my next cyclocross race!”可知，Ryan赛后主动提出要和Ahmed一起训练，说明他会认真对待后续的训练，故选B。 Weekend Family Traditions: The Smiths’ Story Weekends are a special time for families to get together. For the Smith family—Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, 15-year-old Emma, and 12-year-old Jack—weekends have a set of traditions that they all love. Every Saturday morning, the family starts with “Breakfast Together”. Mrs. Smith makes pancakes, and everyone helps: Mr. Smith mixes the batter, Emma cuts fruits like strawberries and bananas, and Jack sets the table. “We talk about our week while eating,” Emma said. “Last Saturday, Jack told us about his soccer game, and dad shared a funny story from work. It’s a great way to start the day.” After breakfast, they do “Family Chores” together. They divide the work: Mr. Smith cleans the car, Mrs. Smith does the laundry, Emma tidies the garden, and Jack cleans his bedroom. “We used to argue about chores,” Jack said. “Now we do it together, and it’s fun. Last week, we sang songs while cleaning, and it only took 40 minutes instead of two hours!” In the afternoon, they have “Free Time Choice”. Sometimes they go to the park for a walk, sometimes they watch a movie at home, and sometimes they visit Emma’s grandma. “Grandma lives alone, so we like to take her to the supermarket or have tea with her,” Mrs. Smith said. “Last Sunday, we helped grandma plant flowers in her garden. Emma taught grandma how to take photos with her phone, and Jack played chess with her. It made grandma very happy.” Saturday evening is “Game Night”. They play board games like chess, Monopoly, or card games. “We never play video games on Game Night,” Mr. Smith said. “We want to talk and laugh together. Sometimes we argue about who wins, but it’s all in good fun.” On Sundays, they usually relax at home. Emma does her homework, Jack reads books, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith prepare for the new week. But they always have dinner together at 6 p.m. “Weekends are short,” Emma said. “But our traditions make every weekend special. They make our family feel close.” Family traditions don’t have to be big or expensive. They just need to be time for family members to share, talk, and care for each other. 1．What does the Smith family do during “Breakfast Together”? A．They talk about their week while eating.

At my age, I know how important grades are — they can decide which high school I’ll get into, not to mention the stress from applications and interviews. Still, grades can feel unimportant sometimes, since good scores only come from hard work and giving up free time. What I truly care about is keeping my friendships and joining the after-school activities I love. I don’t want to choose between schoolwork and the people who study and have fun with me, because these connections help me deal with other worries. I also fear having no one to rely on. I need real, trustworthy support that won’t leave me behind. —Clotilde Dumont, 13, City of London School for Girls, the UK In high school, my worries cover both personal things (family, friendships, school pressure) and big global (全球的) problems that I once thought had nothing to do with me. Some countries are stuck in wars, while others ignore plans that pollute the ocean. I think people often waste time arguing over small things but forget urgent topics like the environment and unfair political control. Joining Model United Nations made me see these global issues clearly, and their complexity (复杂性) really upset me. The way to ease this anxiety is to reflect, learn, and become a more well-rounded person. —Zhang Zhehan, 14, Nanjing Foreign Language School, Jiangsu I often feel anxious when thinking about the present and future. Now that I’m in Grade 9, everything feels overwhelming: endless texts to memorize, piles of homework to finish, and non-stop exams. I’m worried I won’t improve even if I try my best, and I usually hide my weak resilience (恢复力) and exam stress inside. Luckily, nothing is fixed. Sharing these worries with others is better than letting them explode in anger. With strong willpower, I’ll become a better version of myself while dealing with anxiety. At least the world still has so much to offer, and my family, friends and teachers are always there to give advice and help me relax on my life journey. —Tian Yihe, 14, Shijiazhuang Foreign Language School, Hebei 1．What can we infer from Clotilde Dumont’s words about grades?

But according to a study, grapes could be good for eye health as well. A recent study provides encouraging news for individuals trying to enhance their vision, who may not favor carrots. Scientists from Singapore raised the question whether eating foods rich in antioxidants (抗氧化剂) could influence one’s eye health. Given the fact that grapes are full of antioxidants, they made an experiment that was joined in by 34 adults. Half of them had one and a half cups of grapes each day while the others had a placebo (安慰剂) snack, which tasted like grapes but had no antioxidants. The trial lasted 16 weeks. As planned, all participants were blinded: the 34 adults were unaware of whether they were eating the grapes or the placebo snack. Subsequent analysis revealed that those who ate grapes showed a marked increase in antioxidant capacity and a higher macular pigment optical density (MPOD) (黄斑色素光学密度). The macular pigment plays a crucial role in eye protection against blue light, a lot of which is extensively emitted by digital screens such as those of computers and smartphones. Dr Jung Eun Kim, a researcher of the study, explained that their study was the first to find that eating grapes could improve one’s eye health. Eye health should not be taken for granted. It is important to take action to take good care of one’s eyes. Besides eating foods rich in antioxidants, individuals who often face the screen should adopt protective habits. It is important to take breaks once in a while. Experts commonly recommend the 20-20-20 rule: for every 20 minutes in front of a screen, one should spend 20 seconds looking at something 20 feet away. 1．What was the primary objective of the Singaporean researchers’ study? A．See what carrots and grapes have in common. B．Find out whether eating foods rich in antioxidants influences eye health. C．Check whether the placebo snack is harmful to people’s health. D．Prove why grapes are better than carrots for people. 2．Which of the following about the adults in the experiment is TRUE? A．They were divided into three groups. B．They formed a habit of eating grapes. C．They weren’t told exactly what to eat. D．They knew their eye health could improve a lot. 3．What can we know about the macular pigment? A．It mainly exists in daily food. B．It plays a role in protecting eyes. C．It helps people see more blue light. D．It harms people’s antioxidant abilities. 4．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．The advice on eye health care. B．Some ways to choose places to study. C．The importance of protecting our eyes. D．The influence of foods on eye health. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了一项关于食用葡萄对眼睛健康影响的研究，指出葡萄富含的抗氧化剂可能有助于保护眼睛，并给出日常护眼建议。 1．细节理解题。根据“Scientists from Singapore raised the question whether eating foods rich in antioxidants could influence one’s eye health.”可知，新加坡科学家的研究目的是探究富含抗氧化剂的食物是否影响眼睛健康。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“As planned, all participants were blinded: the 34 adults were unaware of whether they were eating the grapes or the placebo snack.”可知，参与实验的成年人不知道自己吃的是葡萄还是安慰剂零食。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The macular pigment plays a crucial role in eye protection against blue light”可知，黄斑色素在保护眼睛免受蓝光伤害方面起关键作用。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。最后一段提出眼睛健康很重要，并给出具体护眼建议，如摄入抗氧化食物、采用20-20-20规则等，因此本段主要内容是“关于眼睛保健的建议”。故选A。 Recently, Sunshine School Canteen has introduced six new special dishes, aiming to help students make choices based on their own needs.

Please excuse me,” said the little prince. After a pause, he asked, “What does that mean—‘tame’?” “You do not live here,” said the fox. “What is it that you are looking for?” “I am looking for men,” the little prince answered. “What does ‘tame’ mean?” “Men,” said the fox, “they have guns and they hunt. It is very disturbing. They also raise chickens. These are their only interests. Are you looking for chickens?” “No,” said the little prince. “I am looking for friends. What does ‘tame’ mean?” The fox sat down. “It means to establish ties,” he said. “Establish ties?” “Just that,” the fox replied. “To me, you are still a little boy like a hundred thousand others. And I have no need of you. To you, I am just a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, we will need each other. To me, you will be unique in the world... To you, I will be unique in the world...” “I am beginning to understand,” said the little prince. “There is a flower... I think she has tamed me...” The fox nodded. “Or she has tamed you.” “My life is very monotonous,” the little prince said. “I have only my sheep to look after. All chickens are the same to me. And all foxes are the same to me, too. But if you tame me, my life will be filled with sunshine. I shall know the sound of a step that will be different from all the others. Your step will call me, like music, out of my burrow. And then, looking at the sky, I shall remember that I am not alone. And your hair is the color of gold. So think how wonderful it will be when you have tamed me! The grain, which is also golden, will bring me back the thought of you. And I shall love to listen to the wind in the wheat fields over there...” The fox gazed at the little prince for a long time. The little prince went back to his questions. “Please... tame me!” he said. “I am ready,” the fox said. “But you must be very patient. First you will sit down at a little distance from me—like that—in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day, just a little...” Finally, he looked up at the sky and said softly. “But the stars are beautiful because of a flower that cannot be seen...” 1．How is the talk between the fox and the little prince presented?

Silently, the men returned to their posts. But Captain Columbus was worried because he knew in his heart that a day would come when his words would no longer help. Before that day, he would see land. Not an eye closed that night. The Captain stood on the high poop (舰楼) and with sleepless eyes he tried hard to look into the darkness ahead. Then, two hours before midnight, the miracle happened. A far-off light struck his eyes. It wavered once or twice, moving quickly on the horizon (地平线), like a fisherman’s boat on the waves. His heart hammered (砰砰直跳). But he dared not cry out, “Land!” “Your eyes are sharp, Alfredo,” he whispered to a young sailor. “Tell me what you see.” As he spoke, the light disappeared. “I see nothing.” The sailor looked into the darkness. The light reappeared. “Look out!” “Ah, yes, yes. A light! Over there!” “Quiet! Are you sure, Alfredo?” “But yes, Captain! It is gone now, yet I saw it.” Surely this was not a trick of the light! Alfredo had seen it too. Somewhere ahead in darkness were human beings and inhabited land. They stood shoulder to trembling shoulder, staring into the dark. Hour after hour passed. The sand-glass under the lantern showed that it was two o’clock in the morning. The other two ships appeared vaguely and in the east the line of the horizon was clearly seen. Then came a flash of flame (火焰). The long-awaited signal Land in sight. “Land Land” Almost immediately came the ringing cry. There in the west, green and fair, lay an island.

B．People doubted what he said. C．There was darkness all around. D．His men were too tired to stay awake. 2．Why dared Columbus not cry out “Land” when he first saw the light?

D．He knew the light would disappear soon. 3．During that night, how did Captain Columbus’s feelings change? A．Worried→nervous→excited. B．Scared→curious→happy. C．Afraid→happy→excited. D．Excited→scared→happy. 4．What was Captain Columbus’s dream? A．Finding human beings in the sea. B．Being saved by other ships. C．Helping his sailors to get the light.

Through his videos recording daily life in China, he has gained millions of followers. This speed is even faster than a ride on a high-speed rail. Meanwhile, China also extended the foreigners’ visa-free stay to 240 hours, pushing this “China Travel” craze to a new height. Many vloggers came to China with the old impressions of China from 20 years ago. But as soon as they landed, they were shocked to see a completely different China: “Is this really the same place as I thought?” It is clear that these foreign vloggers bring more than just cameras. Through their lenses, China is full of surprises, For example, in Chongqing, “the craziest city in China”, you might see a sweaty vlogger staring at his phone, completely lost in the “3D maze (迷宫)”. What a magic city! In Beijing, some vloggers experience time-travel fun by dressing as ancient royals and taking photos. After these special experiences, it’s time for vloggers to taste real Chinese food!

What we have long been used to doing leaves them wide-eyed: paying with mobile phones, travelling by high-speed rail and so on. On screen, vloggers dance with excitement over new and strange Chinese experiences; off screen, foreign viewers totally enjoy watching the videos and they can’t wait to try. After watching these videos, foreign viewers couldn’t resist it anymore! They grabbed their backpacks and began a “trip without planning”. Foreign vloggers’ China travel is actually a “two-way” journey. They set foot on this land with curiosity, and then they are deeply shocked by the great changes taking place in China. In return, China shows the world a completely new China. The craze will disappear one day but open exchanges have just begun.

Recently, a bakery run by a Yangzhou hospital has gained popularity by selling six flavors of TCM bread, with waiting time reaching as long as two hours. According to Zhao Wei from the hospital, their average daily sales are now around 4,000 servings. “Many young people prefer to improve their health through TCM. That’s why we put classical TCM into our bread recipes,” he added, “Each flavor costs about 10 yuan, and all the recipes we use are from an official list.” One customer, Caicai, said the bread tasted like an ordinary milk bun with a little herbal (药草的) flavour. “I usually depend on TCM to regulate my overall health condition. So when I heard the hospital was selling this bread, I was so interested that I rushed to the bakery immediately,” said Caicai. Nowadays, hospitals in Tianjin and Guizhou, as well as the famous TCM brand Tongrentang, are also selling similar bread products and winning the hearts of customers. As people are increasingly worried about their health, they are actively looking for healthy food to replace the unhealthy food. Therefore, TCM food is becoming a new trend (趋势) in China. More and more shops are now offering TCM ice cream and milk tea to attract young people. Wang Yi, an expert from Beijing Guang’anmen Hospital, explained that such food is known as “yao shan”, a form of medicated diet.
