Liang Wenfeng is a well-known person in AI (人工智能) and the founder of DeepSeek. His story encourages many young people to work hard for their dreams. As a young boy, Liang was very interested in how machines “think” and solve problems. This strong love made him study computer science, and he went to university with a clear goal: to explore new parts of artificial intelligence (人工智能). At college, he was never happy with just textbook knowledge. He often spent a lot of time in the library, reading the newest research papers to understand advanced AI ideas. Whenever he met hard problems, he faced them directly, knowing difficulties were the only way to get better. After finishing university, Liang started DeepSeek, but the first days were full of trouble. There was little money, and finding good team members was a big challenge. Yet he refused to give up: he used his own money to rent a small office and made friends with people who had the same AI dreams.

A．Liang Wenfeng and DeepSeek B．DeepSeek: A New AI Company C．How to Build an AI Team D．AI Dreams of Young People Every time I saw my coupled friends share their vacations on social media while I went home to visit my family, I thought, “I’ll be happy when I finally find someone who will go to Iceland with me.” Iceland was a symbol of a lot of things for me. It was also a thing I believed I needed to do with a partner. Years passing by, I realized this habit of saying “I’ll be happy when…” is far more damaging than it seems on the surface. In our pursuit of happiness, we end up postponing joy. We put off trips until we have the right partner to go with. But then as we scroll through our social media feed, it feels like everyone else is living life while we’re just sitting on the sidelines. I decided to stop waiting for happiness. In 2019, I booked a New Year’s trip to Iceland—by myself. What do you think happened when I finally took that trip to Iceland after nearly 10 years of thinking about it? I found joy! I watched the fireworks explode over Reykjavik with three generations of Icelanders. I ate fish and chips and scribbled (草草地写) in my journal. I booked a trip to Snaefellsnes, which ended with hot chocolate and singing carols (颂) with a crowd of farmers in a hotel. And the highlight (精彩) of this trip was seeing the Northern Lights, which were more magical than I had imagined. What I’ve learned about leaning into the present rather than waiting for the future is that something unexpected always happens. Sometimes it’s adventure, and then you’re left with memories you never would’ve had if you’d just waited for happiness to find you. Other times, you find new friends, new opportunities, new inspiration—things that may actually help you get to the happiness you’re seeking faster or help you uncover a new definition of happiness. Now, when I catch myself saying some version of “I’ll be happy when…” I try to imagine myself in the future, looking back on right now and asking myself: what are you waiting for? 1．What was the author like at first? A．She hated to travel by herself. B．She desired to have an ideal partner. C．She valued her family above her friends. D．She disliked sharing her vacations online. 2．What did the author think was most impressive during her trip to Iceland? A．Seeing the Northern lights. B．Trying various kinds of local cuisine. C．Celebrating New Year with Icelanders. D．Spending time in a hotel in Snaefellsnes. 3．What did the author learn from her Iceland trip? A．A joy that’s shared is a joy made double. B．Happiness doesn’t depend on what happens. C．Don’t wait for happiness to come; just live life in the present. D．Don’t rely on others for your happiness; create it on your own. 4．What may the author now advise people to do with thoughts of “I’ll be happy when…”? A．To book another international trip immediately. B．To imagine their future self regretting present inaction. C．To post on social media to seek travel partners. D．To lower their expectations to avoid disappointment. As Simon walked home, he kept thinking about his science project. He had one week to complete his report on bees, which he always wanted to learn about. He would work really hard on it. Simon walked into the house and found his younger brother, Tom, playing on the floor with paper tubes (纸筒). “Simon, help me build a city”! Tom said. “Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven’t got any idea yet.” Simon replied. He walked into the yard, hoping to find the old beehive (蜂窝). There it was, among the firewood. It smelled like dry leaves and each cell (巢室) was six-sided. “How do bees manage to do that? Can they count?” Simon wondered as he walked back to the living room while studying the beehive. Suddenly, a shout from Tom broke his thought, “Oh, no! I am destroying my city”! Tom had knocked over his water bottle and the water was running all over his paper tubes. Simon sighed, “It’s okay, Tom. Accidents happen.” He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother. Holding them together, he noticed there was one tube in the middle, with six others around it. The wet center tube was pushed into six-sided, just like the cells of the beehive! Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked. He said aloud, “Bees just build round cells and stick the sides together. The cells have to be six-sided.” His idea was finally coming together. Simon looked at Tom delightedly, “Tom, I know what to write in the report! And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?” Tom, still in tears, nodded immediately, a smile returning to his face. 1．Why didn’t Simon want to help Tom at first? A．He had a lot of homework to do. B．He thought Tom’s game was boring. C．He didn’t like playing with his brother. D．He was worried about his science project. 2．How did Simon learn about the beehive? A．By playing with Tom. B．By trying different methods. C．By watching Tom playing. D．By asking parents for help. 3．What does the underlined word “delightedly” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Cheerfully. B．Peacefully. C．Surprisedly. D．Disappointedly. 4．Which of the following best describes Simon? A．Smart and brave. B．Creative but careless. C．Cheerful but forgetful. D．Hard-working and patient. Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for what he has done for the education today. Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which was located in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. As the old saying goes, “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas.”   He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.

She talks easily with a foreigner and gets praised for her good English. Some people wonder if selling fruits now needs good English. The fruit seller is Xie Hongying, 49 years old. She has sold fruits for more than 10 years. She talks about learning English and how her life changed after becoming famous. “Figs are sweet and tasty,” says Xie Hongying. She sells fruits near the Chengdu Panda Base and picks figs for customers. “I’m 49 and live in Jianyang City, Sichuan. I moved to Chengdu in 2012 to work and started selling fruits,” she says. She sells fruits in busy places like the Panda Base after 9 am. She goes home early if she sells a lot or stays late if sales are slow. She didn’t expect to become famous. People like her English and say she did well, which makes her happy. But she’s busier now. People recognize her, talk in English, or film her. Her fruit sales are the same, sometimes good, sometimes not. “Today’s sales aren’t good; I have many figs left.” Why did she learn English? In 2019, she met a foreigner who wanted to buy fruits. They couldn’t talk, so they used body language. She thought, “What if I meet another foreigner? I can’t always use body language.” So, she decided to learn English herself. Her way was simple: using dictionaries to remember words. Talking with foreigners helped. If she didn’t understand a word, she guessed, then looked it up and remembered it. She tried using new words with other foreigners. Her English and vocabulary got larger. “I’m brave. I’m not scared of mistakes or being laughed at. My spoken English improved fast.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner. Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous educators, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris. Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in maths and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray equipment to help save the lives of injured soldiers. Irene continued the work in many hospitals in France. Her services were awarded by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant (助手) at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederick Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the skills required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later. Like her mother, Irene could make a good balance between family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she got sick because of her work with radioactivity (辐射性). Irene Joliot Curie died on March 17, 1956. 1．Why was Irene Curie awarded by the French government? A．Because she received a degree in maths. B．Because she helped to save the injured soldiers. C．Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederick. D．Because she worked as a helper to her mother. 2．In which of the following aspects (方面) was Irene Curie different from her mother? A．Irene won the Nobel Prize once. B．Irene could make a good balance between family and career. C．Irene used X-ray to help save a lot of injured soldiers. D．Irene got sick because of her work with radioactivity. 3．The right order about Irene Curie’s life is ________. ①She finished the education at the College of Sévigné. ②She became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. ③She entered the University of Paris to prepare for a degree in maths and physics. ④She was awarded a Nobel Prize. ⑤She got married to Frederick Joliot. ⑥She was awarded by the French government. A．③①⑥②④⑤ B．③②①④⑥⑤ C．①③⑥②⑤④ D．①③⑥⑤④② Language is closely connected with symbolism, and so with deep thinking, problem solving, and creativity. These abilities make us by far the most adaptable (能适应的) of all animals. Language also allows us to explore more fields like art, science and so on. This is why language matters. The main purpose of language is to pass on thoughts from one mind to another. There is no doubt that language expresses thoughts, but does it control thoughts? Wittgenstein famously wrote that “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” Taken at face value, that seems too strong a statement. There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Among them, the number of basic color terms differs greatly from one language to another. Dani, spoken in New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia, each have no more than two color terms, one for dark colors and the other for light colors. But, clearly, speakers of Dani and Bassa are able to understand and think about more than just “dark” and “light”. If language does not determine thoughts, how does it interact with thought? Russian and many other languages have two words for blue, one for lighter colors and the other for darker colors—goluboy and siniy in Russian. A study found that, compared to English speakers, Russian speakers were quicker to tell the difference between colors of goluboy and siniy. By creating these color groups, language acts as a powerful tool that helps us organize our thoughts and strengthens our ability to understand the world. In addition to vocabulary, much of what gives a language its own character lies in its grammar rules, which greatly shape our thoughts. When an accident happens, English speakers often state who is responsible directly (e.g., “He broke the window with a ball”). However, Spanish or Japanese speakers are more likely to omit the person and describe the event objectively (e.g., “The window got broken”). Research shows this habit helps English speakers remember the responsible person more easily, and they are also more likely to blame that person. This shows that language doesn’t just describe the world—it also helps shape how we understand it. These differences in how we talk about who caused an accident show that language changes not just our thoughts, but also the way we treat others. While language doesn’t control thought, it guides what we notice and how we think. This, in turn, affects how we interact with others. 1．Which of the following examples best shows the importance of language according to the passage? A．Following the instructions on the medicine to treat illness. B．Saying “please” and “thank you” to show your politeness. C．Using the word “zero” to help develop math and science. D．Remembering poems to get better test scores at school. 2．The writer mentions the speakers of Dani and Bassa to show ________. A．the thought beyond language B．the grammar rules of language C．the need for language protection D．the cultural influence on language 3．The word “omit” in paragraph 5 most probably means ________. A．look for B．focus on C．turn down D．leave out 4．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．some languages are more useful than others B．a larger vocabulary makes expression easier C．learning new languages changes personality D．language helps organize thoughts by grouping Imagine that a cool bamboo-like grass can be used to make green energy. Scientists at Landuo Biotech, a business in Wuhan, have created one such plant recently. They named it “super giant reed” (超级芦竹). Since 2012, the Landuo team has collected over 1,000 wild giant reeds for experiments. As a result, more than 40 varieties of the super giant reed have been “born”. In Landuo’s factory, hundreds of young reeds are grown in glass bottles. Fully grown, super giant reeds are cut and put in a special place without O2. The Landuo team heats them up to make natural gas, which can then be used for energy. Thanks to the scientists’ efforts, the super giant reed has a biomass (生物量) three times that of the wild giant reed. A kilogram of super giant reed also has 4,000 to 4,500 kilocalories (千卡) of energy. So, the super giant reed is a great choice for taking the place of fossil fuels (化石燃料). What’s more, growing a super giant reed helps a lot. Planting 13,000 hectares of it can produce 0.45 to 1.5 million tons of fuel a year. About 40 million hectares of super giant reed can be used instead of 2.2 billion (1 billion=1,000 million) tons of coal and can cut CO2  emissions (排放) by 4 billion tons in China every year. Super giant reed is also well-suited for growing on some land like beaches, wetlands and salty lands. Once a reed is planted, it can be cut and used many times during the next 15 to 20 years. By the end of 2024, over 3,300 hectares of super giant reed have been planted across 53 areas in China. At present, China is developing this new energy source—the super giant reed and we hope that it can help to make our planet cleaner and cleaner. 1．What is the right order according to Paragraph 2? a.The super giant reeds are cut by the Landuo team. b.The super giant reeds are heated up to make natural gas. c.The Landuo team grows lots of young super giant reeds in glass bottles. d.The Landuo team puts the super giant reeds in a special place without O2. A．a-b-c-d B．b-a-c-d C．c-a-d-b 2．How many kilocalories of energy does a kilogram of super giant reed produce? A．1,000 to 1,500. B．2,000 to 3,500. C．4,000 to 4,500. 3．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage? A．People. B．Science. C．Sports. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． Beijing Opera is one of the most representative (典型的) of all Chinese traditional drama art forms and the largest Chinese opera form. Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was especially popular in South China during the 18th century. Theatrical (戏剧的) art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on the stage, there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and doesn’t sing, either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment, which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技). Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. Modern Beijing Opera actors and actresses also try to popularize this ancient art form among young people. They spend most of their working life describing characters from time-honored stories and some of them also appear on television shows and video-sharing websites to promote this form of opera and to share knowledge about it. “You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience after watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 1．What makes Beijing Opera different from theatrical art forms in many other countries? A．It has one opera singer on stage. B．It has one dancer who has no speaking role. C．It has already spread to many other countries. D．It includes spoken parts,singing dancing and acrobatics. 2．People think Mei Lanfang played an important role in the spread of Beijing Opera because ________. A．he made many tours to a foreign country B．he was a famous Beijing Opera performer C．he was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners D．he made Beijing Opera different from other theatrical art forms 3．The underlined word “promote” means “________” in the fourth paragraph. A．make...more popular B．make...more interesting C．make...more traditional D．make...more special 4．From Paragraph 5, we know that the traveler ________. A．felt bored all the way B．highly praised Beijing Opera C．found Beijing Opera interesting at first D．knew the background of Beijing Opera 5．The main purpose of writing the passage is to ________. A．ask all people to learn Beijing Opera B．tell us something about Beijing Opera C．show why Beijing Opera is popular in Europe D．introduce everything about foreign operas ①Do you know that China has some amazing modern inventions that are changing people’s lives? These are called the “New Four Great Inventions”: high-speed trains, mobile payment, shared bikes, and online shopping. ②High-speed trains are super-fast trains that can travel at 350 kilometers per hour. They have made traveling much easier and faster. For example, the journey from Beijing to Shanghai now takes only four and a half hours instead of twelve hours by regular train. ③Mobile payment, like Alipay and WeChat Pay, has made shopping extremely convenient. Even street food vendors (贩卖者) accept mobile payments. You just need to scan a QR code with your smartphone, and the payment is done in seconds! ④Shared bikes are everywhere in Chinese cities. You can find them on streets, near subway stations, and even in residential (住宅的) areas. Using a shared bike is simple: scan the QR code on the bike with your phone, ride to your destination, and lock it. It costs only 1-2 yuan per ride. ⑤Online shopping has become a way of life in China. Platforms like Taobao and JD．com allow people to buy almost anything with just a few clicks on their phones. The delivery is usually very fast-sometimes you can receive your order on the same day! ⑥These inventions are not only making life more convenient for Chinese people but also attracting attention from around the world. Many foreign visitors are amazed by how technology has transformed (改变) daily life in China. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By using sayings. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By giving examples. 2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．High-speed trains can travel at 250 kilometers per hour. B．The Beijing-Shanghai journey takes a whole day by high-speed train. C．Mobile payment is accepted even by street food vendors. D．Shared bikes cost at least 10-20 yuan per ride. 3．What is the structure (结构) of the article? (①=Para.1) A． B． C． D． 4．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．Foreign visitors don’t like Chinese technology. B．These inventions are only popular in China. C．Chinese technology is attracting worldwide attention. D．Online shopping is the most popular invention. Space agencies like the European Space Agency and the China National Space Agency are working to return astronauts to the Moon for the first time since the Apollo Program. However, more space flights to the Moon present several major challenges. One of the biggest is that sending things to the Moon takes days. In addition, it requires much more powerful rockets. So scientists are developing technologies that will allow astronauts to use local resources on the Moon. For example, water ice, which is common at the Moon’s south pole, can meet the needs for water. Lunar regolith (月球风化层) can be used to make building materials. Recently, research has also shown that plants can be grown in lunar soil. The research was carried out by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez from a university in Britain. They planted the tea plants into lunar soil simulant (模拟物) and Martian (火星的) soil simulant and watched how the plants developed over the course of several weeks. They compared their results with a control group planted in the soil on Earth. They also controlled the temperature, the amount of water in the air, and the lighting to recreate a space environment. Researchers checked the growth and health of both groups carefully. The tea plants in the lunar soil simulant took root and grew as well as those in the control group, while plants in simulated Martian soil failed to grow. This is certainly good news for astronauts who are headed for the Moon in the coming years for lunar exploration. On the other hand, those space flights to Mars might have to wait a few years. As Prof. Mason said, we’re moving into a new age of space exploration, where we think about living in space and building bases on the Moon or Mars. These experiments tell us that plants on Earth, such as tea, may be grown in lunar soil within lunar greenhouses, allowing future astronauts who live and work on the moon to grow their own food. We are at the very earliest stages of research into space farming, but it is exciting to think that astronauts might one day have a tea break on the Moon, making a faraway world feel a little more like home. 1．According to the passage, which of the following is one of the biggest challenges of travelling to the Moon? A．The need for special materials. B．The long time spent on the way. C．The danger made by lunar regolith. D．The safety of astronauts on spaceships. 2．What can we learn from the research by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez? A．They created space-like conditions to test plant growth. B．They wanted to find ways to send more food to the Moon. C．They studied why tea plants grew well in lunar soil simulant. D．They discovered water ice from the Moon helped plants grow faster. 3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Walking on Mars Might Take Longer Than We Thought. B．Living on the Moon Could Become a Reality in the Future. C．Growing Food in Space May Help Astronauts Stay Healthy. D．Having Tea Grown on the Moon May One Day Be Possible. The way younger people think about spending money and their lifestyle is changing. A new idea called “reverse consumption” has appeared. This means people are no longer buying expensive things like brand-name bags or clothes. Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money. Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste. Unlike traditional buying habits, it refuses to keep buying new products and pays more attention to the quality of products. This idea has become popular with younger people and has influenced their buying decisions. This change in spending habits shows that young people care about different things in life now. Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn’t bring true happiness. They are more interested in personal growth, spiritual (精神的) wealth, and the building of social relationships. Because of this, they pay more attention to their inner needs. Besides focusing on growing as a person, they also start to care about how their actions affect the environment. This new way of thinking helps young people notice bigger problems like pollution and climate change. They know that wasteful spending can harm the environment, causing plenty of unnecessary waste and pollution, so they are trying to reduce their influence on the environment. It is changing what people do and making the world different. In addition, the idea of reverse consumption is also bringing changes in society. Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibility (责任) more seriously, and to think more about social interests when designing and making things. 1．According to the article, what is “reverse consumption” in Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Buying bags or clothes at lower prices. B．Giving up spending money completely. C．Saving money to buy more cheap things later. D．Getting good value for money and avoiding waste. 2．From Paragraph 3 we can infer (推断) that young people today ________. A．believe true happiness comes from inside growth B．no longer care about their personal looks C． only notice material goods around them D．think owning more bags brings social respect 3．How does reverse consumption change companies? A．It helps companies to give up social interests. B．It makes companies produce more brand-name products. C．It encourages companies to make products that increase waste. D．It pushes companies to think of social and environmental responsibility. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain reverse consumption and its influence. B．To ask readers not to buy more brand-name products. C．To tell readers that young people should stop spending money. D．To tell people to only buy products that are good for the environment In ancient China, many people made their own cloth shoes. Tangchang, a town in Sichuan Province, is quite famous for its cloth shoes. The town has over 700 years of shoe-making history. Tangchang cloth shoes are made from natural materials such as flour (面粉), cotton, cloth and wool, which are more comfortable than those with plastic soles (鞋底) in the market and they are easy to walk in and don’t get wet easily. But the process of making cloth shoes is not easy. Growing up in Tangchang, Lai Shuang is a master of making cloth shoes. The 65-year-old woman has been making shoes for 40 years. She said that there are 32 steps that go into the production of the shoes. The most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with paste (面糊) made from flour. “ To make the proper paste, we have to keep the heat at an exact temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will fail,” Lai said. After this,  the layered cloth is again stretched until it is tight enough to make shoes, as well as the upper parts of the shoes. Over time, sneakers (运动鞋) began to gain more popularity among consumers. Fewer and fewer people choose cloth shoes. To make a living and help the cultural heritage alive, Lai and her co-workers added Shu embroidery (刺绣) to make the shoes more fashionable. They now sell about 10, 000 pairs of shoes each year, both online and in their store. 1．What can we know about Tangchang cloth shoes? A．The shoes are expensive. B．The shoes are made from natural materials. C．There are 40 steps to produce the shoes. D．The shoes are only sold online. 2．What do Lai’s words mean? A．It is not easy to make the shoes. B．Lai is enjoying making the shoes. C．The shoes are easy to walk in and they don’t get wet easily. D．The shoes can keep warm. 3．What do Lai and her co-workers do to make a living and help the cultural heritage alive? A．By lowering the price of shoes. B．By using other materials for the shoes. C．By adding Shu embroidery to make the shoes more fashionable. D．By stopping the production of cloth shoes. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解20篇 （期末考试热点话题） 本资料共20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 较易 应用文,时文/广告/布告,推理判断,细节理解 2 适中 应用文,时文/广告/布告,志愿服务 3 容易 守则,应用文,意见/建议 4 较易 景点/建筑,应用文,推理判断,细节理解 5 较易 工作与职业,应用文,时文/广告/布告 6 较易 记叙文,其他著名人物,哲理感悟 7 适中 记叙文,旅行 8 适中 记叙文,叙事忆旧,词句猜测,推理判断,细节理解 9 适中 历史人物,记叙文 10 较易 记叙文,其他著名人物,哲理感悟 11 适中 记叙文,其他人,学习策略 12 适中 记叙文,科学家 13 适中 记叙文,科学家 14 适中 说明文,语言与文化,学习策略 15 适中 科普知识,说明文,植物 16 较易 中华文化,说明文,电影与戏剧 17 适中 说明文,发明与创造,科学技术 18 适中 航天与航空,科普知识,说明文 19 适中 说明文,个人购物喜好,环境保护 20 适中 说明文,传统工艺,推理判断,细节理解 Winter Camp Time 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.; Feb.1st-Feb. 7th, 2026 Sign up (报名)Online: Jan. 20th-Jan. 28th, 2026 Price: 50 yuan per day Activities * For children aged 8–12    Paint, dance and play games. * For children aged 13–16    Play sports, make special projects and take field trips.

It was also a thing I believed I needed to do with a partner. Years passing by, I realized this habit of saying “I’ll be happy when…” is far more damaging than it seems on the surface. In our pursuit of happiness, we end up postponing joy. We put off trips until we have the right partner to go with. But then as we scroll through our social media feed, it feels like everyone else is living life while we’re just sitting on the sidelines. I decided to stop waiting for happiness. In 2019, I booked a New Year’s trip to Iceland—by myself. What do you think happened when I finally took that trip to Iceland after nearly 10 years of thinking about it? I found joy! I watched the fireworks explode over Reykjavik with three generations of Icelanders. I ate fish and chips and scribbled (草草地写) in my journal. I booked a trip to Snaefellsnes, which ended with hot chocolate and singing carols (颂) with a crowd of farmers in a hotel. And the highlight (精彩) of this trip was seeing the Northern Lights, which were more magical than I had imagined. What I’ve learned about leaning into the present rather than waiting for the future is that something unexpected always happens. Sometimes it’s adventure, and then you’re left with memories you never would’ve had if you’d just waited for happiness to find you. Other times, you find new friends, new opportunities, new inspiration—things that may actually help you get to the happiness you’re seeking faster or help you uncover a new definition of happiness. Now, when I catch myself saying some version of “I’ll be happy when…” I try to imagine myself in the future, looking back on right now and asking myself: what are you waiting for? 1．What was the author like at first? A．She hated to travel by herself. B．She desired to have an ideal partner. C．She valued her family above her friends. D．She disliked sharing her vacations online. 2．What did the author think was most impressive during her trip to Iceland? A．Seeing the Northern lights. B．Trying various kinds of local cuisine. C．Celebrating New Year with Icelanders. D．Spending time in a hotel in Snaefellsnes. 3．What did the author learn from her Iceland trip? A．A joy that’s shared is a joy made double. B．Happiness doesn’t depend on what happens. C．Don’t wait for happiness to come; just live life in the present. D．Don’t rely on others for your happiness; create it on your own. 4．What may the author now advise people to do with thoughts of “I’ll be happy when…”? A．To book another international trip immediately. B．To imagine their future self regretting present inaction. C．To post on social media to seek travel partners. D．To lower their expectations to avoid disappointment. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者从一直等待“找到伴侣后才去冰岛旅行”才能快乐，到最终独自前往冰岛旅行并获得意想不到的快乐与感悟的心路历程，并由此领悟到不应等待快乐而应活在当下的道理。 1．细节理解题。根据“I thought, ‘I’ll be happy when I finally find someone who will go to Iceland with me.’”和“It was also a thing I believed I needed to do with a partner.”可知，作者最初渴望有一个理想的伴侣。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“And the highlight of this trip was seeing the Northern Lights, which were more magical than I had imagined.”可知，旅途中给她印象最深的是看到北极光。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“What I’ve learned about leaning into the present rather than waiting for the future is that something unexpected always happens.”可知，她的核心感悟是不要等待快乐，要活在当下。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“I try to imagine myself in the future, looking back on right now and asking myself: what are you waiting for?”可知，她现在的做法是想象未来的自己后悔现在的无所作为。故选B。 As Simon walked home, he kept thinking about his science project. He had one week to complete his report on bees, which he always wanted to learn about. He would work really hard on it. Simon walked into the house and found his younger brother, Tom, playing on the floor with paper tubes (纸筒). “Simon, help me build a city”! Tom said. “Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven’t got any idea yet.” Simon replied. He walked into the yard, hoping to find the old beehive (蜂窝). There it was, among the firewood. It smelled like dry leaves and each cell (巢室) was six-sided. “How do bees manage to do that? Can they count?” Simon wondered as he walked back to the living room while studying the beehive. Suddenly, a shout from Tom broke his thought, “Oh, no! I am destroying my city”! Tom had knocked over his water bottle and the water was running all over his paper tubes. Simon sighed, “It’s okay, Tom. Accidents happen.” He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother. Holding them together, he noticed there was one tube in the middle, with six others around it. The wet center tube was pushed into six-sided, just like the cells of the beehive! Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked. He said aloud, “Bees just build round cells and stick the sides together. The cells have to be six-sided.” His idea was finally coming together. Simon looked at Tom delightedly, “Tom, I know what to write in the report! And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?” Tom, still in tears, nodded immediately, a smile returning to his face. 1．Why didn’t Simon want to help Tom at first? A．He had a lot of homework to do. B．He thought Tom’s game was boring. C．He didn’t like playing with his brother. D．He was worried about his science project. 2．How did Simon learn about the beehive? A．By playing with Tom. B．By trying different methods. C．By watching Tom playing. D．By asking parents for help. 3．What does the underlined word “delightedly” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Cheerfully. B．Peacefully. C．Surprisedly. D．Disappointedly. 4．Which of the following best describes Simon? A．Smart and brave. B．Creative but careless. C．Cheerful but forgetful. D．Hard-working and patient. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了Simon为完成关于蜜蜂的科学报告，一开始因专注于报告而不想帮弟弟Tom搭建纸筒城市，后来在帮弟弟收拾被水弄湿的纸筒时，通过观察纸筒的排列方式，发现了蜜蜂蜂窝巢室是六边形的原因，最终完成了报告构思并打算和弟弟一起制作蜂窝模型。 1．细节理解题。根据“Sorry, I need to do a report on bees and I haven’t got any idea yet.”可知，Simon一开始不想帮Tom是因为他担心自己的科学项目，还没想好报告内容。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段描述Simon尝试用不同数量的纸筒围绕中心纸筒，最终发现只有六个纸筒能自然形成六边形结构，从而理解了蜂巢形状的形成原理。由此可推断，他是通过尝试不同方法得出这一发现的。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Simon looked at Tom delightedly, ‘Tom, I know what to write in the report! And now I will build a model beehive with your tubes! Will you help me?’”可知Simon发现了蜜蜂蜂窝巢室是六边形的原因，有了报告的思路，还要和弟弟一起制作蜂窝模型，此时他的心情应该是高兴的，故此处划线部分和“Cheerfully”意义相近，表示“高兴地，欢快地”。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“Simon sighed, ‘It’s okay, Tom. Accidents happen.’ He got down and started picking up the wet tubes, comforting his little brother.”可知，他安慰弟弟，说明他很有耐心；根据“As Simon walked home, he kept thinking about his science project.”和“Just to be sure, he tried to put five and then seven tubes around the centre tube, but neither way fits. Six was the only number that worked.”可知，他对科学项目很投入，说明他很努力。故选D。 Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for what he has done for the education today. Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which was located in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports. Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time, only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime. Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. As the old saying goes, “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas.”   He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.” Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important teachings are about kindness and good manners. “A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others,” he said. 1．Today we still remember Confucius mainly because ________. A．he lived a poor life in his childhood B．he traveled with his students from state to state C．he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period D．he had wise thoughts and great opinions about education 2．The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to ________. A．poor B．bright C．rich D．cute 3．The correct order of the following statements is ________. ① Confucius’ father died. ② Confucius educated about 3,000 students in his lifetime. ③Confucius worked to help his mother as a child. ④ Confucius started the first public school in Chinese history. A．①③④② B．②③④① C．③①②④ D．④③①② 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．All study but no thinking makes people puzzled. B．All thinking but no study makes people lazy. C．Confucius believed that not everyone should go to school. D．A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to others. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了孔子的事迹，包括他的童年经历、教育理念、对后世的影响以及他的思想教诲。 1．细节理解题。根据题干信息“Today we still remember Confucius mainly because”可定位至第一段“Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for what he has done for the education today.”以及后文所述，可知人们记得孔子是因为他对教育的贡献以及他的智慧思想，选项D“他对教育有着睿智的思想和伟大的见解”符合题意。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段“only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.”可知，前后句是转折关系，后句表示孔子认为只要想学习，每个人都应该上学，可推知前句应该是表示当时只有部分孩子能上学，结合选项，应是“贵族（rich/wealthy）”家庭的孩子，因此“noble”的意思应与“rich”相近。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段中“His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother”可知，孔子的父亲在他3岁时去世，他不得不工作来帮助他的母亲，即①③（①父亲去世，③帮助母亲）；根据第三段中“Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history…He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.”可知，后来孔子创办了中国历史上第一所公立学校，他一生中大约有3000名学生，即④②（④创办学校，②教育学生）。因此正确的顺序是①③④②。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据第三段中“but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn”可知，孔子认为只要想学习，每个人都应该上学，C选项“孔子认为不是每个人都应该上学”与文章内容不符。故选C。      Pang Zhongwang, a student from Tsinghua University, received the “Touching China” award for the year 2024.

However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner. Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous educators, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris. Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in maths and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray equipment to help save the lives of injured soldiers. Irene continued the work in many hospitals in France. Her services were awarded by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant (助手) at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederick Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the skills required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later. Like her mother, Irene could make a good balance between family and career.

These abilities make us by far the most adaptable (能适应的) of all animals. Language also allows us to explore more fields like art, science and so on. This is why language matters. The main purpose of language is to pass on thoughts from one mind to another. There is no doubt that language expresses thoughts, but does it control thoughts? Wittgenstein famously wrote that “The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” Taken at face value, that seems too strong a statement. There are over 7,000 languages in the world. Among them, the number of basic color terms differs greatly from one language to another. Dani, spoken in New Guinea, and Bassa, spoken in Liberia, each have no more than two color terms, one for dark colors and the other for light colors. But, clearly, speakers of Dani and Bassa are able to understand and think about more than just “dark” and “light”. If language does not determine thoughts, how does it interact with thought? Russian and many other languages have two words for blue, one for lighter colors and the other for darker colors—goluboy and siniy in Russian. A study found that, compared to English speakers, Russian speakers were quicker to tell the difference between colors of goluboy and siniy. By creating these color groups, language acts as a powerful tool that helps us organize our thoughts and strengthens our ability to understand the world. In addition to vocabulary, much of what gives a language its own character lies in its grammar rules, which greatly shape our thoughts. When an accident happens, English speakers often state who is responsible directly (e.g., “He broke the window with a ball”). However, Spanish or Japanese speakers are more likely to omit the person and describe the event objectively (e.g., “The window got broken”). Research shows this habit helps English speakers remember the responsible person more easily, and they are also more likely to blame that person. This shows that language doesn’t just describe the world—it also helps shape how we understand it. These differences in how we talk about who caused an accident show that language changes not just our thoughts, but also the way we treat others. While language doesn’t control thought, it guides what we notice and how we think. This, in turn, affects how we interact with others. 1．Which of the following examples best shows the importance of language according to the passage? A．Following the instructions on the medicine to treat illness. B．Saying “please” and “thank you” to show your politeness. C．Using the word “zero” to help develop math and science. D．Remembering poems to get better test scores at school. 2．The writer mentions the speakers of Dani and Bassa to show ________. A．the thought beyond language B．the grammar rules of language C．the need for language protection D．the cultural influence on language 3．The word “omit” in paragraph 5 most probably means ________. A．look for B．focus on C．turn down D．leave out 4．The writer probably agrees that ________. A．some languages are more useful than others B．a larger vocabulary makes expression easier C．learning new languages changes personality D．language helps organize thoughts by grouping 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲了语言与思维之间的复杂关系，探讨了语言是否控制思维、如何影响思维，以及不同语言在词汇和语法上如何塑造我们对世界的理解和互动方式。 1．细节理解题。根据“Language also allows us to explore more fields like art, science and so on.”可知，语言使我们能够探索科学等领域，选项C“使用‘zero’这个概念帮助数学和科学发展“，体现了语言在推动抽象思维和学科发展中的关键作用。故选C。 2．推理判断题。根据“But, clearly, speakers of Dani and Bassa are able to understand and think about more than just “dark” and “light”.”可知，作者以丹尼语和巴萨语为例，说明它们只有两个基本颜色词，但使用者能够理解和思考超出词汇范围的颜色，从而证明思维可以超越语言限制。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Spanish or Japanese speakers are more likely to omit the person...”以及后文对比英语使用者更容易记住责任人的描述可知，此处“omit”意为“省略、不提及”。故选D。 4． 推理判断题。根据“By creating these color groups, language acts as a powerful tool that helps us organize our thoughts...”以及全文对语言如何通过分类、语法等方式影响思维组织的讨论可知，作者认为语言通过分组等方式帮助组织思维。故选D。 Imagine that a cool bamboo-like grass can be used to make green energy. Scientists at Landuo Biotech, a business in Wuhan, have created one such plant recently. They named it “super giant reed” (超级芦竹). Since 2012, the Landuo team has collected over 1,000 wild giant reeds for experiments. As a result, more than 40 varieties of the super giant reed have been “born”. In Landuo’s factory, hundreds of young reeds are grown in glass bottles. Fully grown, super giant reeds are cut and put in a special place without O2. The Landuo team heats them up to make natural gas, which can then be used for energy. Thanks to the scientists’ efforts, the super giant reed has a biomass (生物量) three times that of the wild giant reed. A kilogram of super giant reed also has 4,000 to 4,500 kilocalories (千卡) of energy. So, the super giant reed is a great choice for taking the place of fossil fuels (化石燃料). What’s more, growing a super giant reed helps a lot. Planting 13,000 hectares of it can produce 0.45 to 1.5 million tons of fuel a year. About 40 million hectares of super giant reed can be used instead of 2.2 billion (1 billion=1,000 million) tons of coal and can cut CO2  emissions (排放) by 4 billion tons in China every year. Super giant reed is also well-suited for growing on some land like beaches, wetlands and salty lands. Once a reed is planted, it can be cut and used many times during the next 15 to 20 years. By the end of 2024, over 3,300 hectares of super giant reed have been planted across 53 areas in China. At present, China is developing this new energy source—the super giant reed and we hope that it can help to make our planet cleaner and cleaner. 1．What is the right order according to Paragraph 2? a.The super giant reeds are cut by the Landuo team. b.The super giant reeds are heated up to make natural gas. c.The Landuo team grows lots of young super giant reeds in glass bottles. d.The Landuo team puts the super giant reeds in a special place without O2. A．a-b-c-d B．b-a-c-d C．c-a-d-b 2．How many kilocalories of energy does a kilogram of super giant reed produce? A．1,000 to 1,500. B．2,000 to 3,500. C．4,000 to 4,500. 3．In which part of a newspaper can you probably read the passage? A．People. B．Science. C．Sports. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了超级芦竹的培育过程、能源价值及其环保应用。 1．细节理解题。根据“In Landuo’s factory, hundreds of young reeds are grown in glass bottles.

Having a history of about 200 years, it is developed from many other drama forms, mostly from the local drama “Huiban”, which was especially popular in South China during the 18th century. Theatrical (戏剧的) art forms in many other countries do not have singing, dancing and spoken parts together in one single drama. An opera singer, for example, neither dances nor speaks on the stage, there are no singing or dancing parts in a modern play in a dance drama, the dancer has no speaking role and doesn’t sing, either. Traditional Chinese drama, including Beijing Opera, is a kind of entertainment, which includes spoken parts, singing, dancing and acrobatics (杂技). Beijing Opera has spread to many other places. Mei Lanfang, one of the most famous performers of all time, was the first to introduce Beijing Opera to foreigners and made highly successful tours to foreign countries. Modern Beijing Opera actors and actresses also try to popularize this ancient art form among young people. They spend most of their working life describing characters from time-honored stories and some of them also appear on television shows and video-sharing websites to promote this form of opera and to share knowledge about it. “You will doubt and sometimes be a little bored, but you will be interested gradually. You will be strongly attracted to Beijing Opera, even if you know nothing about the drama background.” This is how one traveler described his first experience after watching Beijing Opera. Beijing Opera is China’s national opera and it is full of Chinese cultural traditions. Welcome to China and enjoy Beijing Opera! 1．What makes Beijing Opera different from theatrical art forms in many other countries? A．It has one opera singer on stage.

However, more space flights to the Moon present several major challenges. One of the biggest is that sending things to the Moon takes days. In addition, it requires much more powerful rockets. So scientists are developing technologies that will allow astronauts to use local resources on the Moon. For example, water ice, which is common at the Moon’s south pole, can meet the needs for water. Lunar regolith (月球风化层) can be used to make building materials. Recently, research has also shown that plants can be grown in lunar soil. The research was carried out by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez from a university in Britain. They planted the tea plants into lunar soil simulant (模拟物) and Martian (火星的) soil simulant and watched how the plants developed over the course of several weeks. They compared their results with a control group planted in the soil on Earth. They also controlled the temperature, the amount of water in the air, and the lighting to recreate a space environment. Researchers checked the growth and health of both groups carefully. The tea plants in the lunar soil simulant took root and grew as well as those in the control group, while plants in simulated Martian soil failed to grow. This is certainly good news for astronauts who are headed for the Moon in the coming years for lunar exploration. On the other hand, those space flights to Mars might have to wait a few years. As Prof. Mason said, we’re moving into a new age of space exploration, where we think about living in space and building bases on the Moon or Mars. These experiments tell us that plants on Earth, such as tea, may be grown in lunar soil within lunar greenhouses, allowing future astronauts who live and work on the moon to grow their own food. We are at the very earliest stages of research into space farming, but it is exciting to think that astronauts might one day have a tea break on the Moon, making a faraway world feel a little more like home. 1．According to the passage, which of the following is one of the biggest challenges of travelling to the Moon? A．The need for special materials. B．The long time spent on the way. C．The danger made by lunar regolith. D．The safety of astronauts on spaceships. 2．What can we learn from the research by Professor Mason and Dr. Lopez? A．They created space-like conditions to test plant growth. B．They wanted to find ways to send more food to the Moon. C．They studied why tea plants grew well in lunar soil simulant. D．They discovered water ice from the Moon helped plants grow faster. 3．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Walking on Mars Might Take Longer Than We Thought. B．Living on the Moon Could Become a Reality in the Future. C．Growing Food in Space May Help Astronauts Stay Healthy. D．Having Tea Grown on the Moon May One Day Be Possible. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】本文主要讲了人类重返月球计划面临的挑战、利用月球本土资源的重要性，以及一项在月球土壤模拟物中成功种植茶叶的实验研究，暗示未来太空农业的可行性。 1．细节理解题。根据“One of the biggest is that sending things to the Moon takes days.

A new idea called “reverse consumption” has appeared. This means people are no longer buying expensive things like brand-name bags or clothes. Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money. Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste. Unlike traditional buying habits, it refuses to keep buying new products and pays more attention to the quality of products. This idea has become popular with younger people and has influenced their buying decisions. This change in spending habits shows that young people care about different things in life now. Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn’t bring true happiness. They are more interested in personal growth, spiritual (精神的) wealth, and the building of social relationships. Because of this, they pay more attention to their inner needs. Besides focusing on growing as a person, they also start to care about how their actions affect the environment. This new way of thinking helps young people notice bigger problems like pollution and climate change. They know that wasteful spending can harm the environment, causing plenty of unnecessary waste and pollution, so they are trying to reduce their influence on the environment. It is changing what people do and making the world different. In addition, the idea of reverse consumption is also bringing changes in society. Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibility (责任) more seriously, and to think more about social interests when designing and making things. 1．According to the article, what is “reverse consumption” in Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Buying bags or clothes at lower prices. B．Giving up spending money completely. C．Saving money to buy more cheap things later. D．Getting good value for money and avoiding waste. 2．From Paragraph 3 we can infer (推断) that young people today ________. A．believe true happiness comes from inside growth B．no longer care about their personal looks C． only notice material goods around them D．think owning more bags brings social respect 3．How does reverse consumption change companies? A．It helps companies to give up social interests. B．It makes companies produce more brand-name products. C．It encourages companies to make products that increase waste. D．It pushes companies to think of social and environmental responsibility. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To explain reverse consumption and its influence. B．To ask readers not to buy more brand-name products. C．To tell readers that young people should stop spending money. D．To tell people to only buy products that are good for the environment 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了当下年轻人中流行的“反向消费”理念，阐述了这一消费模式的核心内涵，以及它对年轻人生活观念、环保意识和企业发展方向产生的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据“This means people are no longer buying expensive things like brand-name bags or clothes. Instead, they care more about getting good value for their money”和“Reverse consumption encourages people not to waste”可知，反向消费的核心是追求高性价比、避免浪费。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Many young people are starting to realize that having lots of material goods doesn’t bring true happiness...they also start to care about how their actions affect the environment.”可知，年轻人意识到大量物质财富不能带来真正的幸福，他们更关注个人成长、精神财富和人际关系的建立，更重视内在需求。由此可以推断，年轻人认为真正的幸福来源于内在的成长。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Companies are being pushed to take social and environmental responsibility more seriously, and to think more about social interests when designing and making things”可知，反向消费促使企业更加重视社会责任和环保责任。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。全文先解释了反向消费的定义，接着讲述它如何影响年轻人的消费观念和环保意识，最后说明它对企业发展的推动作用。因此，文章的主要目的是阐释反向消费的内涵及其带来的影响。故选A。 In ancient China, many people made their own cloth shoes. Tangchang, a town in Sichuan Province, is quite famous for its cloth shoes. The town has over 700 years of shoe-making history. Tangchang cloth shoes are made from natural materials such as flour (面粉), cotton, cloth and wool, which are more comfortable than those with plastic soles (鞋底) in the market and they are easy to walk in and don’t get wet easily. But the process of making cloth shoes is not easy. Growing up in Tangchang, Lai Shuang is a master of making cloth shoes. The 65-year-old woman has been making shoes for 40 years. She said that there are 32 steps that go into the production of the shoes. The most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with paste (面糊) made from flour. “ To make the proper paste, we have to keep the heat at an exact temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will fail,” Lai said. After this,  the layered cloth is again stretched until it is tight enough to make shoes, as well as the upper parts of the shoes. Over time, sneakers (运动鞋) began to gain more popularity among consumers. Fewer and fewer people choose cloth shoes. To make a living and help the cultural heritage alive, Lai and her co-workers added Shu embroidery (刺绣) to make the shoes more fashionable. They now sell about 10, 000 pairs of shoes each year, both online and in their store. 1．What can we know about Tangchang cloth shoes? A．The shoes are expensive. B．The shoes are made from natural materials. C．There are 40 steps to produce the shoes. D．The shoes are only sold online. 2．What do Lai’s words mean? A．It is not easy to make the shoes. B．Lai is enjoying making the shoes. C．The shoes are easy to walk in and they don’t get wet easily. D．The shoes can keep warm. 3．What do Lai and her co-workers do to make a living and help the cultural heritage alive? A．By lowering the price of shoes. B．By using other materials for the shoes. C．By adding Shu embroidery to make the shoes more fashionable. D．By stopping the production of cloth shoes. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了四川唐昌镇的布鞋，其有700多年制鞋历史，由天然材料制成，制作过程复杂，随着运动鞋流行，布鞋受众减少，赖女士和同事通过添加蜀绣让布鞋更时尚，以维持生计并传承文化遗产。 1．细节理解题。根据“Tangchang cloth shoes are made from natural materials such as flour (面粉), cotton, cloth and wool”可知，唐昌布鞋是由面粉、棉花、布料和羊毛等天然材料制成的。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据“She said that there are 32 steps that go into the production of the shoes. The most important step is making the soles. Layers (层) of white cloth are glued together with paste (面糊) made from flour.”以及“To make the proper paste, we have to keep the heat at an exact temperature of 85℃. If it’s too low or too high, the paste will fail”可知，赖女士说制鞋有32个步骤，制作合适的面糊要把温度精确控制在85℃，温度过高或过低面糊都会失败，由此可推测出做鞋不容易。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“To make a living and help the cultural heritage alive, Lai and her co-workers added Shu embroidery (刺绣) to make the shoes more fashionable.”可知，赖女士和她的同事为了维持生计并帮助文化遗产得以传承，添加了蜀绣使鞋子更时尚。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
