The Sun’s light gives the Earth its day and night. The Earth spins like a top in space at 960 kph. It takes 24 hours to spin around once. Where do the stars go? During the day the stars are still in the sky but we cannot see them because the Sun’s light is much brighter than they are. Why does the Sun set? The Sun does not really move at all. Because the Earth spins, it looks as if the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Me and my shadow Light always shines in straight lines, so you see dark shadows behind anything which stands in its way. At midday the sun is directly overhead and the shadows are very short. Early in the morning and evening the sun is low in the sky, so the shadows are long. Ways of measuring time Long ago hunters kept track of how long they were away by counting how many times they went to sleep at night. Knights used a sand timer to time a tournament. It ended when the sand had run from the top half to the bottom. People used sundials, during the day the Sun’s shadow is cast on to the dial and moves around to mark the time. Adapted from The Usborne Children’s Encyclopedia Word Bank: spin (v.) 自转；shadow (n.) 影子；measure (v.) 测量；knight (n.) 骑士；tournament (n.) 比武大会；sundial (n.) 日晷 32. What gives the Earth its day and night? A. The stars’ light. B. The Sun’s light. C. The Moon’s light. D. The Earth’s own light. 33. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The Sun keeps moving during the day. B. The stars’ light is brighter than the sunlight. C. Stars are always in the sky even if we can’t see them. D. Stars disappear during the day and come out at night. 34. When is the shadow the shortest? A. In the morning. B. At midday. C. In the evening. D. In the late afternoon. 35 What did people use to tell time in the passage? ①A sand timer. ②A clock. ③A sundial. ④A sleep-counting method. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 36. In which part of the book can we probably read the text? A. Science around us. B. History of the Earth. C. Stories of the Sun. D. Travel around the world. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. D 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普短文，介绍了昼夜交替、星星可见性、影子变化以及古代计时方式等与自然现象相关的科学知识。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Sun’s light gives the Earth its day and night.”可知，是太阳光带来了地球的昼夜交替。故选B。 33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“During the day the stars are still in the sky but we cannot see them because the Sun’s light is much brighter than they are.”可知，星星白天仍在天空中，只是因为太阳光太亮而无法被看见。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At midday the sun is directly overhead and the shadows are very short.”可知，正午时太阳在头顶正上方，影子是最短的。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。文中提到的计时方式包括：①沙钟 (sand timer)，骑士们用它来为比武大会计时；③日晷 (sundial)，通过太阳影子移动来标记时间；④睡眠计数法 (sleep-counting method)，古代猎人用睡觉次数来计算时间。文中没有提到②钟表 (clock)，因此正确选项为①③④。故选D。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。本文内容涉及昼夜成因、影子变化、古代计时等生活中的科学现象，因此最可能出自“我们身边的科学”板块。故选A。 C Today, many people use AI chatbots like DeepSeek to help with work or study. But is this always a good thing? The AI researcher Advait Sarkar says that if we depend on AI too much to think for us, we might become “middle managers for our own thoughts.” This means we spend our time just checking and accepting the AI’s ideas instead of developing our own. The Problem: Pack your thoughts for AI When we let AI do tasks that require thinking—such as: organizing information, writing articles, or making decisions—we risk losing important skills. Studies show that people who use AI too much may: ◆Become less creative, coming up with fewer and more similar ideas. ◆Think less deeply about information. ◆Remember less of what they read or write. In short, if we don’t exercise our brains, our thinking abilities can become weak. A Better Way: AI as a Tool for Thoughts AI can be designed (设计) to help us think better. Here’s how it works: ◆It encourages active reading by providing summaries and asking meaningful questions. ◆It helps users organize their ideas while staying connected to the basic materials. ◆It offers suggestions—not to directly complete tasks, but to challenge the user’s thinking, present different ideas, or point out possible mistakes. In this way, the user stays in control, learns and remembers more. Why It Matters Thinking is not just a tool to get work done—it is part of being human. If machines do all our thinking for us, we may lose our ability to solve hard problems, make good decisions, and come up with new ideas. Good AI should help us grow smarter, not make us lazy thinkers. As Sarkar says, “What would you rather have? A tool that thinks for you, or a tool that makes you think?” 37. Why does Advait Sarkar say the words in Para. 1? A. To introduce a new job about AI. B. To explain what AI chatbots can do. C. To show how popular AI chatbots are. D. To warn people not to use AI too much. 38. What may people face when using AI too much? A. Getting their brains more trained. B. Taking more time to think deeply. C. Being less creative with simple ideas. D. Getting better at remembering things. 39. Which of the following is the proper way to use AI? A. Refusing to get in touch with AI. B. Asking AI to finish tasks and copying them. C. Using AI to help think further and improve ideas. D. Letting AI make decisions without your own thinking. 40. What opinion does the writer agree with? A. AI is useless for thinking. B. AI should make people think. C. AI should think for people. D. AI can solve all hard problems. 41. What’s the BEST title for this article? A. AI: The Great Advantages It Has B. AI: Different Kinds We Often Use C. AI: The History of AI Development D. AI: A Useful Tool, but Use It Wisely 【答案】37. D 38. C 39. C 40. B 41. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了AI聊天机器人的利弊。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“if we depend on AI too much to think for us, we might become ‘middle managers for our own thoughts.’”可知，Advait Sarkar的话是为了警告人们不要过度依赖AI。故选D。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Problem”部分的第一条“Become less creative, coming up with fewer and more similar ideas.”可知，过度使用AI会让人创造力下降，想法变得单一。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A Better Way: AI as a Tool for Thoughts”部分的描述，正确的方式是用AI辅助思考、完善想法，而非让AI直接完成任务。故选C。 【40题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Good AI should help us grow smarter, not make us lazy thinkers.”可知，作者认为AI应该促使人们主动思考，而不是代替人们思考。故选B。 【41题详解】 最佳标题题。文章既分析了过度使用AI的问题，也提出了正确的使用方式，核心观点是“AI 是有用的工具，但要明智使用”。故选D。 D 根据短文内容，选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 Ecotourism: Travel That Protects Nature Ecotourism is a special way of traveling that helps protect our planet. Unlike traditional tourism, it includes visiting beautiful natural places without harming them. ____42____ They are under the protection of local governments. ____43____ This means we should protect nature so that future generations (一代人) can enjoy it, too. In an eco-friendly area, buildings fit in with the environment, food is bought from local farmers, and waste is carefully managed.

Instead of cutting down rainforests for wood, countries can make money by showing tourists the natural beauty. ____44____ The country makes money, and the nature stays protected. Ecotourism has many advantages for local people. It creates jobs for them such as park guards, cooks, or wildlife guides. ____45____ Many learn new skills and can support their families better than before. However, there are some problems. Sometimes, locals are used for cheap labor (劳动力). Big companies often keep most of the money, while local people make very little. ____46____ Moreover, building hotels and roads can be harmful to the environment if not planned carefully. In short, ecotourism aims to help both people and the planet. It teaches us to respect (尊重) local culture and protect the environment. When done correctly, it is a win-win situation for everyone. A. This way, each side gets good results. B. These jobs often pay better than farming. C. Also, locals might lose their traditional way of life. D. Many tourists choose to experience different culture. E. These places are often areas like rainforests or mountains. F. The main goal of ecotourism is keeping nature safe for long. 【答案】42. E 43. F 44. A 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了生态旅游的定义、目标、优势与现存问题。 【42题详解】 根据“visiting beautiful natural places without harming them”可知，这里提到了美丽的自然地点，此处应具体介绍这些地方，选项E“这些地方通常是热带雨林或山脉”符合语境。故选E。 【43题详解】 根据“This means we should protect nature so that future generations can enjoy it, too.”可知，这是在解释生态旅游的长远目标，此处应该点明生态旅游的核心目标，选项F“生态旅游的主要目标是保持自然的长期安全”符合语境。故选F。 【44题详解】 根据“Instead of cutting down rainforests for wood, countries can make money by showing tourists the natural beauty.”可知，这里描述了国家通过生态旅游获利且保护自然的方式，此处应该说明这样做的结果，选项A“这样，双方都能得到好的结果”符合语境。故选A。 45题详解】 根据“It creates jobs for them such as park guards, cooks, or wildlife guides.”可知，这里提到了生态旅游创造的工作，此处应该继续介绍这些工作情况，选项B“这些工作的收入通常比务农要高”符合语境。故选B。 【46题详解】 根据“Big companies often keep most of the money, while local people make very little.”可知，这里在讲生态旅游存在的问题，此处应该继续补充说明存在的问题，选项C“此外，当地人可能会失去他们传统的生活方式”符合语境。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷(满分50分) Ⅵ. 短文填空。 阅读下面短文，根据上下文及提示在空白处填入1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A wonderful “bird wave” (鸟浪) at the Yellow River Delta in Dongying, Shandong, has recently become very popular online. On the evening of December 7, 2025, over 240,000 Baikal teals (花脸鸭) got together in the sky. When people looked up at that time, they ____47____ (fly) together in a huge, shape-changing group. The bird group sometimes looked like a big whale, and sometimes like a huge bird. Against the sunset, the scene was so ____48____ (value) that people called it a living picture of the “Kunpeng” from Zhuangzi’s tale. These teals seem to form the “bird wave” to show ____49____ (they) to people under the sunset. What we see as the “bird wave” is actually a survival skill of birds, not magic. They form such large groups for two key ____50____ (/ˈpɜːpəsɪz/). One is to save energy during long trips, the other is for their ____51____ (safe) against enemies. Flying together in a certain way helps them catch the wind ____52____ (easy) than flying alone. Many people wonder ____53____ the Yellow River Delta Wetland is so welcoming for birds. The real reason is the healthy environment. It was once a poor area ____54____ few plants and birds. But through years of hard work like providing water and returning farmland to wetland, it has now turned into an important resting place for birds.

You may notice that horses appear in many Chinese idioms (成语). These horse-related sayings offer fascinating ideas into Chinese culture and ancient wisdom (智慧). “A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. It describes someone with excellent talent or abilities. Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “thousand-mile horses” and achieve great things. “A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another point to this idea. While talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders (“good riders”) who can find talented people are not common. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough—you need someone who believes in you and gives you chances. “An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with experience. Just as an old horse remembers the safest roads through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. This idiom shows Chinese respect (尊重) for elders and their knowledge. “A painted horse won’t run” warns against valuing appearance over reality. No matter how beautifully you paint a horse, it will never run fast. Similarly, empty promises without real action are worthless. This idiom teaches Chinese to value practical results over empty words. “Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who keeps searching for better chances while managing their present situation. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical, hard-working people who never stop improving themselves. 57. What kind of person is called “a thousand-mile horse”? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What can we do when we are in trouble according to “An old horse knows the way”? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. Which idiom shares a similar meaning with “Actions speak louder than words”? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. What spirit does the idiom “Ride a horse while looking for a better one” show? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 61. If your friend is talented but has no chance, which idiom can you use to describe this situation? ________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】57. Someone with excellent talent or abilities. 58. We can ask experienced people for help. 59. A painted horse won’t run. 60. It shows the spirit of being practical, hard-working and never stopping improving oneself. 61. A swift horse needs a good rider. 【解析】 【导语】本文以2026马年为背景，介绍了多个与马相关的中文成语，解释了它们的含义与文化内涵，展现了中国文化与古老智慧。 【57题详解】 根据“It describes someone with excellent talent or abilities.”可知，“千里马”指的是拥有卓越天赋和能力的人。故填Someone with excellent talent or abilities. 【58题详解】 根据“Just as an old horse remembers the safest roads through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations.”可知，遇到困难时，我们可以向有经验的人寻求帮助或指引。故填We can ask experienced people for help. 【59题详解】 根据“Actions speak louder than words.”可知，强调行动胜于言语，文中“A painted horse won’t run.”也表达了要重视实际行动而非空洞承诺的含义，二者表意相近。故填A painted horse won’t run. 【60题详解】 根据“Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical, hard-working people who never stop improving themselves.”可知，该成语体现了务实、勤奋且不断自我提升的精神。故填It shows the spirit of being practical, hard-working and never stopping improving oneself. 【61题详解】 根据“While talented people (‘swift horses’) might be common, good leaders (‘good riders’) who can find talented people are not common.”可知，“A swift horse needs a good rider.”可以用来描述有才华却缺少机会的处境。故填A swift horse needs a good rider. B 阅读下面短文，完成以下小题。 Honk’s Mysterious Visits “Adam, why don’t you go outside?” Mom suggested. “There is a nice wind, so you can fly your dragon kite in the yard. Maybe some friends will pass by.” “Okay,” I said. When I walked into our yard with my kite, the only thing I saw was our neighbor’s goose, Honk. The white bird was a little scary. He walked around his yard like he was a king. I decided to stay away from it. Unluckily, Honk did not have the same plan. When he watched me and my kite, he flew in my direction. I ran into the garage (车库) and found some chalk to happily draw pictures on our front driveway, where Honk could not see me. Then, Honk paid me another visit. He seemed happy as he danced in front of the glass doors. I slowly stepped outside to see if I could make friends with him. Suddenly, Honk’s cheerful mood (心情) disappeared and he started cackling (鹅叫声) at me. Ms. Lee was working in her garden. She heard Honk’s cackling and ran over to help me. That afternoon, Honk came to visit us two more times. I noticed that he always seemed happy when he arrived, but he did not like me to step outside. I tried taking off my hat. I even changed my bright red shirt for a white one. Honk still disliked me, and Ms. Lee had to lead him home each time he came over. After dinner, Mom offered to fly my dragon kite with me. We were in the yard when Honk made another visit to our home. Surprisingly, I saw he was bowing his head and dancing around in front of the glass doors. Suddenly, my eyes caught a scene of another dancing goose. It was Honk’s reflection. He could see himself in our glass doors. I had solved the mystery—Honk visited our home because he was looking for a friend. 根据短文内容完成读书笔记。每空不超过四个词。 Story Scenes Honk’s actions and feelings Adam’s actions and feelings First meeting in the yard walked around the yard like a king felt ①___62___ and stayed away from Honk Honk by the glass door ②___63___ and seemed happy stepped outside and wanted to ③___64___ with Honk Adam went near Honk cackled at Adam and became ④___65___when Adam came near thought maybe ⑤___66___ made Honk dislike him The mystery solved was bowing his head and dancing around saw a dancing goose in the glass and finally understood Honk just wanted to ⑥___67___ 62. ________ 63. ________ 64. ________ 65. ________ 66. ________ 67. ________ 68.

The tree branches (树枝) are still bare. The earth is still colored brown. I don’t care! I don’t care! I can smell the green smell in the air—it comes Just before springtime. ②The wind still pushes my head low. White snow wets my shoes. Everyone’s talking more snow. I hear drums! I hear drums! It’s the music that says, World, wake up—it comes Just before springtime. ③There’s a sweetness that stays at my mouth, And it tastes not of North, but of South. There’s a scene that fills up my eyes. With wings making breeze in warm skies. There’s a softness that writes on my skin (皮肤), The announcement that spring’s coming in. Earth-bird-tree I am you. You are me. We are one! We are one! In that nice moment that comes Just before springtime. 27. What does the word “bare” probably mean? A. Having no leaves. B. Covered with leaves. C. Soft and green. D. Strong and thick. 28.

It takes 24 hours to spin around once. Where do the stars go? During the day the stars are still in the sky but we cannot see them because the Sun’s light is much brighter than they are. Why does the Sun set? The Sun does not really move at all. Because the Earth spins, it looks as if the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Me and my shadow Light always shines in straight lines, so you see dark shadows behind anything which stands in its way. At midday the sun is directly overhead and the shadows are very short. Early in the morning and evening the sun is low in the sky, so the shadows are long. Ways of measuring time Long ago hunters kept track of how long they were away by counting how many times they went to sleep at night Knights used a sand timer to time a tournament. It ended when the sand had run from the top half to the bottom. People used sundials, during the day the Sun’s shadow is cast on to the dial and moves around to mark the time. Adapted from The Usborne Children’s Encyclopedia Word Bank: spin (v.) 自转；shadow (n.) 影子；measure (v.) 测量；knight (n.) 骑士；tournament (n.) 比武大会；sundial (n.) 日晷 32. What gives the Earth its day and night? A. The stars’ light. B. The Sun’s light. C. The Moon’s light. D. The Earth’s own light. 33. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The Sun keeps moving during the day. B. The stars’ light is brighter than the sunlight. C. Stars are always in the sky even if we can’t see them. D. Stars disappear during the day and come out at night. 34. When is the shadow the shortest? A. In the morning. B. At midday. C. In the evening. D. In the late afternoon. 35. What did people use to tell time in the passage? ①A sand timer. ②A clock. ③A sundial. ④A sleep-counting method. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 36. In which part of the book can we probably read the text? A. Science around us. B. History of the Earth. C. Stories of the Sun. D. Travel around the world. C Today, many people use AI chatbots like DeepSeek to help with work or study. But is this always a good thing? The AI researcher Advait Sarkar says that if we depend on AI too much to think for us, we might become “middle managers for our own thoughts.” This means we spend our time just checking and accepting the AI’s ideas instead of developing our own. The Problem: Pack your thoughts for AI When we let AI do tasks that require thinking—such as: organizing information, writing articles, or making decisions—we risk losing important skills. Studies show that people who use AI too much may: ◆Become less creative, coming up with fewer and more similar ideas. ◆Think less deeply about information. ◆Remember less of what they read or write. In short, if we don’t exercise our brains, our thinking abilities can become weak. A Better Way: AI as a Tool for Thoughts AI can be designed (设计) to help us think better. Here’s how it works: ◆It encourages active reading by providing summaries and asking meaningful questions. ◆It helps users organize their ideas while staying connected to the basic materials. ◆It offers suggestions—not to directly complete tasks, but to challenge the user’s thinking, present different ideas, or point out possible mistakes. In this way, the user stays in control, learns and remembers more. Why It Matters Thinking is not just a tool to get work done—it is part of being human.

You may notice that horses appear in many Chinese idioms (成语). These horse-related sayings offer fascinating ideas into Chinese culture and ancient wisdom (智慧). “A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. It describes someone with excellent talent or abilities. Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “thousand-mile horses” and achieve great things. “A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another point to this idea. While talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders (“good riders”) who can find talented people are not common. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough—you need someone who believes in you and gives you chances. “An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with experience. Just as an old horse remembers the safest roads through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. This idiom shows Chinese respect (尊重) for elders and their knowledge. “A painted horse won’t run” warns against valuing appearance over reality. No matter how beautifully you paint a horse, it will never run fast. Similarly, empty promises without real action are worthless. This idiom teaches Chinese to value practical results over empty words. “Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who keeps searching for better chances while managing their present situation. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical, hard-working people who never stop improving themselves. 57.

Maybe some friends will pass by.” “Okay,” I said. When I walked into our yard with my kite, the only thing I saw was our neighbor’s goose, Honk. The white bird was a little scary. He walked around his yard like he was a king. I decided to stay away from it. Unluckily, Honk did not have the same plan. When he watched me and my kite, he flew in my direction. I ran into the garage (车库) and found some chalk to happily draw pictures on our front driveway, where Honk could not see me. Then, Honk paid me another visit. He seemed happy as he danced in front of the glass doors. I slowly stepped outside to see if I could make friends with him. Suddenly, Honk’s cheerful mood (心情) disappeared and he started cackling (鹅叫声) at me. Ms. Lee was working in her garden. She heard Honk’s cackling and ran over to help me. That afternoon, Honk came to visit us two more times. I noticed that he always seemed happy when he arrived, but he did not like me to step outside. I tried taking off my hat. I even changed my bright red shirt for a white one. Honk still disliked me, and Ms. Lee had to lead him home each time he came over. After dinner, Mom offered to fly my dragon kite with me. We were in the yard when Honk made another visit to our home. Surprisingly, I saw he was bowing his head and dancing around in front of the glass doors. Suddenly, my eyes caught a scene of another dancing goose. It was Honk’s reflection. He could see himself in our glass doors. I had solved the mystery—Honk visited our home because he was looking for a friend. 根据短文内容完成读书笔记。每空不超过四个词。 Story Scenes Honk’s actions and feelings Adam’s actions and feelings First meeting in the yard walked around the yard like a king felt ①___62___ and stayed away from Honk Honk by the glass door ②___63___ and seemed happy stepped outside and wanted to ③___64___ with Honk Adam went near Honk cackled at Adam and became ④___65___when Adam came near thought maybe ⑤___66___ made Honk dislike him The mystery solved was bowing his head and dancing around saw a dancing goose in the glass and finally understood Honk just wanted to ⑥___67___ 62. ________ 63 ________ 64. ________ 65. ________ 66. ________ 67. ________ 68.
