You are over 40 years old, have a job, and a family. As you get ready for work, you stand in front of your mirror. “Turn red.” you say. In no time, your shirt changes color from sky blue to deep red! This magic happens because tiny smart electronics (电子器件) inside the shirt make the color change. Next, you go into the kitchen to get breakfast. You pick up your cereal (麦片) box. Suddenly, your shoes speak up in a clear voice: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.” How do they know? They read the special electronic code (电子代码) on the cereal box and checked the nutrition (营养) information. You put the box down and ask the kitchen for advice. The kitchen looks at the food you have, and then a list of good breakfast choices appears on its screen right away. Now it’s time for you to go to work. Your car scans your fingerprint (指纹) and unlocks (解锁). The car drives itself smoothly onto the road and joins the busy traffic on the highway. You sit back, relax, and enjoy your electronic newspaper. “Are you ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. You tell them that long ago, in 2005, only trained spacemen went to space. Now, everyone can go for fun vacations! The kids are so surprised.

Instead of just watching videos, they might look for interesting and fun ways to move. Luckily, experts designed many exciting activities for teens. For video games lovers, they are in luck. “Exergaming” is all about playing games to get their whole body moving. They can imagine using a Nintendo Switch (任天堂游戏机) for games like Ring Fit Adventure. In this game, they actually run, and do exercises to finish fun tasks in a world of imagination. Also, they can try Just Dance. There they follow dance moves on the screen to great music. It’s so fun that they will forget they’re exerting themselves! Another excellent choice for them is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). These are short, powerful exercises they can find on free phone apps or on Bilibili. These exercises usually include quick moves for 30 seconds. Then there will be a short rest. They are super acceptable. After trying these, if teens want something different and easy to start, they might think about a jump rope challenge. Jumping rope is not just for kids. It’s a full-body exercise and can make hands and feet work well. Teenagers can just set a mini-goal, like jumping 150 times without missing. Many find that it’s more challenging and enjoyable than they think. In short, the best way for teens to exercise is to find what they truly enjoy. These fun ideas can make moving their body be the best part of their winter break. By choosing an activity and getting started, they can have a fun, healthy, and energetic holiday. 8. According to the text, what is “exergaming”? A. Watching videos of playing online games. B. Video games for moving your whole body. C. Playing games on sports field with friends. 9 What does the underlined words “exerting themselves” mean in paragraph 2? A. doing physical exercise. B. playing video games. C. listening to music. 10. What is one benefit of jumping rope? A. It helps you learn cool dance moves. B. It lets you finish tasks in an imaginary world. C. It makes your hands and feet work well together. 11 What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了青少年在寒假期间可以进行几种有趣且有益健康的运动方式，包括体感游戏（Exergaming）、高强度间歇训练（HIIT）和跳绳挑战，并鼓励青少年选择自己喜欢的活动来度过一个健康活力的假期。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“‘Exergaming’ is all about playing games to get their whole body moving.”可知“体感游戏”是指通过玩游戏让全身动起来。因此“exergaming”指的是能让全身活动的视频游戏。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“It’s so fun that they will forget they’re exerting themselves!”以及前文描述的游戏需要跑步、做运动、跳舞等，可推知“exerting themselves”指的是“进行身体锻炼”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s a full-body exercise and can make hands and feet work well.”可知跳绳的好处之一是让手脚协调配合。故选C。 【11题详解】 篇章结构题。根据“Luckily, experts designed many exciting activities for teens.”可知第1段引出话题；根据“‘Exergaming’ is all about playing games to get their whole body moving...Another excellent choice for them is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)...think about a jump rope challenge”可知第2、3段分别介绍三种具体活动（体感游戏、HIIT、跳绳）；根据“In short, the best way for teens to exercise is to find what they truly enjoy.”可知第4段总结并鼓励青少年选择喜欢的活动。因此是总分总结构。故选B。 第二节（共四小题：每小题2分，满分8分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Did you talk with someone who just wouldn’t stop speaking?

Just go on with your own activity if you are reading, writing, or doing homework. You can also stand up, walk around, or find something small to do. ____13____ ____14____ If it’s someone you often talk to, try to change the subject. You can say, “That reminds me of...” or “By the way, did you hear about...?” This way, you take control of the talk. Mention that you can’t talk long. Expressions like “Today’s not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks.” And “Although I would love to chat, ____15____” will make you easily end the conversation.

Just go on with your own activity if you are reading, writing, or doing homework.

You can say, ‘That reminds me of…’ or ‘By the way, did you hear about…?’ This way, you take control of the talk.”可知，本段建议转移话题来控制对话，A选项“把对话转移到另一个话题上。”概括了本段主旨，作为段落标题或引导句合适。故选A。 【15题详解】 根据“Expressions like ‘Today’s not a great day to talk. I have a lot of tasks.’ And ‘Although I would love to chat, …’ will make you easily end the conversation.”可知，此处需要补充一个委婉表达自己不得不离开的句子，E选项“我现在得去看电影了。”是合理的理由，与“尽管我想聊天”形成转折，便于结束对话。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分25分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On the evening of December 31st, 2025, school leaders of Tsinghua University gave the 2025 Student of the Year Award to Pang Zhongwang.

They count down together and cheer when a big, shiny ball drops at midnight. In the United Kingdom, many families go to London to see a beautiful firework show over the Thames River, with the colorful lights reflecting (映照) on the water. In Japan, a popular and peaceful tradition is to visit a temple at sunrise to wish for good luck in the new year. In Spain, people have a funny and quick tradition: as the clock hits twelve, everyone tries to eat twelve grapes—one with each bell sound—believing it brings good luck for each month ahead. If you visit these countries, you can join in the amazing celebrations! New Year’s Day is more than just a day off from school or work. It is a special time for people to think about the past year and make resolutions or set goals for the new one. It is a day full of hope, joy, and the feeling of a fresh start.

As you get ready for work, you stand in front of your mirror. “Turn red.” you say. In no time, your shirt changes color from sky blue to deep red! This magic happens because tiny smart electronics (电子器件) inside the shirt make the color change. Next, you go into the kitchen to get breakfast. You pick up your cereal (麦片) box. Suddenly, your shoes speak up in a clear voice: “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.” How do they know? They read the special electronic code (电子代码) on the cereal box and checked the nutrition (营养) information. You put the box down and ask the kitchen for advice. The kitchen looks at the food you have, and then a list of good breakfast choices appears on its screen right away. Now it’s time for you to go to work. Your car scans your fingerprint (指纹) and unlocks (解锁). The car drives itself smoothly onto the road and joins the busy traffic on the highway. You sit back, relax, and enjoy your electronic newspaper. “Are you ready for your trip to space?” you ask your son and daughter. You tell them that long ago, in 2005, only trained spacemen went to space. Now, everyone can go for fun vacations! The kids are so surprised. Looking at them, you smile to yourself and think about what more surprises the next 40 years will bring—maybe humans will even be able to live on other planets and explore the space with their families. 4. Which picture is Para.1 describing? A. B. C. 5. Why do the shoes stop the writer from eating the cereal? A. Because the writer doesn’t ask for their advice. B. Because the cereal is not good for losing weight. C. Because the kitchen has no other food for breakfast. 6. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The convenience (便捷) of future transport. B. The dangers of self-driving cars on the highway. C. The reason why people don’t continue reading newspapers. 7. How might the writer feel about the future technology? A. Uninterested. B. Worried. C. Hopeful. C For many teenagers, the winter holiday can sometimes feel too quiet. Instead of just watching videos, they might look for interesting and fun ways to move. Luckily, experts designed many exciting activities for teens. For video games lovers, they are in luck. “Exergaming” is all about playing games to get their whole body moving. They can imagine using a Nintendo Switch (任天堂游戏机) for games like Ring Fit Adventure. In this game, they actually run, and do exercises to finish fun tasks in a world of imagination. Also, they can try Just Dance. There they follow dance moves on the screen to great music. It’s so fun that they will forget they’re exerting themselves! Another excellent choice for them is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). These are short, powerful exercises they can find on free phone apps or on Bilibili. These exercises usually include quick moves for 30 seconds. Then there will be a short rest. They are super acceptable. After trying these, if teens want something different and easy to start, they might think about a jump rope challenge. Jumping rope is not just for kids. It’s a full-body exercise and can make hands and feet work well. Teenagers can just set a mini-goal, like jumping 150 times without missing. Many find that it’s more challenging and enjoyable than they think. In short, the best way for teens to exercise is to find what they truly enjoy. These fun ideas can make moving their body be the best part of their winter break. By choosing an activity and getting started, they can have a fun, healthy, and energetic holiday. 8. According to the text, what is “exergaming”? A. Watching videos of playing online games. B. Video games for moving your whole body. C. Playing games on sports field with friends. 9. What does the underlined words “exerting themselves” mean in paragraph 2? A. doing physical exercise. B. playing video games. C. listening to music. 10. What is one benefit of jumping rope? A. It helps you learn cool dance moves. B. It lets you finish tasks in an imaginary world. C. It makes your hands and feet work well together. 11. What is the structure of the passage? A B. C. 第二节（共四小题：每小题2分，满分8分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Did you talk with someone who just wouldn’t stop speaking?

It is a happy holiday celebrated by people all around the world. In ancient China, people also celebrated a “New Year’s Day”, but they followed the lunar calendar (农历), so the date changed in different dynasties. After 1949, people in China formally named this day “Yuan Dan”. Today, it is a public holiday, so most people can enjoy a short break, often spending time with their families or going on a short trip.

They count down together and cheer when a big, shiny ball drops at midnight. In the United Kingdom, many families go to London to see a beautiful firework show over the Thames River, with the colorful lights reflecting (映照) on the water. In Japan, a popular and peaceful tradition is to visit a temple at sunrise to wish for good luck in the new year. In Spain, people have a funny and quick tradition: as the clock hits twelve, everyone tries to eat twelve grapes—one with each bell sound—believing it brings good luck for each month ahead. If you visit these countries, you can join in the amazing celebrations! New Year’s Day is more than just a day off from school or work.
