My father wanted me to study science. My mother agreed, thinking it was safe. But I dreamed of studying history, which they thought had no future. For weeks, we didn’t speak. I filled out their science subject form, my heart heavy like stone. The night before handing it in, I found an old box of my things. At the end of the box was a book on ancient China, its pages worn from my many readings. A small note fell out, in my mother’s handwriting from years ago: “To my little reader. May you always love history.” The next morning, I did not hand in the form. Instead, I put the book and note on the kitchen table. My mother saw them, and her eyes became soft. My father picked up the book and looked at the pages. We did not talk then. But that evening, he came to my room. “Tell me,” he said, “about your favorite story in the book.” My voice shook at first, then became calm as I spoke about the wisdom and lessons from the past. My choice was not made with loud words, but with a silent book and a remembered note. We found a new way: I would take one science class, and follow my heart in history. I learned that sometimes, showing your true interest quietly can help parents understand you. 26. What does the underlined word “worn” mean in paragraph 2? A. New and clean. B. Old and used often. C. Colorful and interesting. D. Expensive and cool. 27. What’s the correct order of the events? ①The writer placed a book and note on the table. ②The writer found an old box. ③The father asked about a favorite story. ④The parents wanted science subjects. A. ②④③① B. ④①②③ C. ④②①③ D. ④③①② 28. Why did the old book and note change the parents’ minds? A. Because their child bought the ancient book for them. B. Because they reminded them of their child’s true interest. C. Because they were expensive gifts they gave to their child. D Because they showed their child’s plan to study both subjects. 29. Which title best fits the story? A. The Loud Argument B. An Unforgettable Gift C. The Hopeful Choice D. A Silent Communication 30. If your friend faces a similar problem, what is the best advice from the story? A. Wait for your parents to support your choice. B. Hide your interests and follow parents’ plans. C. Find a calm way to show what you truly love. D. Buy an expensive gift to make parents happy. C While England’s Stonehenge is known for its mysterious stone circle, there is an even older place in Turkey called Göbekli Tepe. It is thought to be the world’s oldest temple, built around 11,000 years ago—about 6,000 years before Stonehenge. Göbekli Tepe was discovered in the 1990s. It is made up of several big round spaces built with huge T-shaped stone blocks. Many of these blocks are cut with pictures of animals such as foxes, snakes, birds, and wild pigs. Unlike Stonehenge, these stones were not moved from far away; they were shaped directly from the nearby hills. What amazes experts most is that Göbekli Tepe was built by hunter-gatherers (狩猎采集者) —people who did not yet farm or live in cities. This changes the old idea that large religious (宗教的) places were only built after farming began. Göbekli Tepe makes us rethink history. Maybe building such places brought people together, which later led to farming. The purpose of Göbekli Tepe remains unknown, just like Stonehenge. Some think it was an important place, used for special events, burials, or watching the sky. Others believe it was a meeting place for different groups to trade and tell stories. Today, Göbekli Tepe is a protected World Heritage Site (世界遗产). It helps us rethink human history and shows that ancient people were more skilled and organized than we once believed. The site reminds us that human societies could achieve great things through cooperation (合作) long before the rise of cities or kingdoms. 31. What makes Göbekli Tepe special compared to Stonehenge? A. It is a temple from England. B. It was built 6,000 years ago. C. It is older than Stonehenge. D. It was built with huge stones. 32. Why are experts surprised by Göbekli Tepe? A. Because it was used for community events. B. Because it was shaped directly from the nearby hills. C. Because it was built by hunter-gatherers, not farmers. D. Because its stones are covered with animal carvings. 33. What was a possible use of Göbekli Tepe according to the passage? A. A hunting ground. B. A tourist site for visitors. C. A palace for a king. D. A religious meeting place. 34. Where is this passage most likely from? A. A travel ad. B. An art textbook. C. A news report. D. A history magazine. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A To explain how ancient people moved and shaped huge stones. B. To argue that Göbekli Tepe is more important than Stonehenge. C. To describe a mysterious ancient site and its historical importance. D. To encourage tourists to visit Turkey’s protected World Heritage Site. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 What if I told you there are new helpers in the forest? ____36____ In many places, AIs (人工智能) are now working as animal keepers.

Horses helped farmers with work and soldiers (士兵) in wars. They were strong and fast, so people valued them greatly. In Chinese art, horses often appear in paintings and sculptures (雕塑). Artists show how strong and pretty they are. The famous painter Xu Beihong was known for his horse paintings, which look almost alive. In the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the horse year is considered lucky. People born then are believed to be active, friendly, and hardworking—much like the horses that have been part of Chinese culture for centuries. There are also interesting sayings about horses in Chinese: ● A Horse That Can Cover a Thousand Li in a Day This describes a very talented person. Just like a fast horse, talented people can achieve great things. Parents use this to encourage children to follow their dreams. ● A Follower in Front of the Horse Long ago, soldiers walked before their leader’s horse to protect him. Today, this means a loyal (忠诚的) helper or supporter. ● Success Arrives with the Horse People say this to wish others quick success, especially when starting something new or taking a test.
