With copies of Le Monde under his arm, he walks through the Left Bank, creating his own catchy headlines to attract customers. “I do it to create a good mood,” he says. “I want people to live happily.” Akbar came to France in 1973 and began working as a newspaper hawker. Unlike others who stayed in busy spots, he chose to walk around the sixth arrondissement (区), a university area near the River Seine (塞纳河). He remembers learning French by chatting with students. Over time, he became a beloved part of the neighborhood. “Even regular tourists ask where he is if they don’t see him,” says Amina Qissi, a local waitress. Though Paris once had about 40 hawkers, Akbar stood out with his energy and optimism. His hard work was finally recognized by the country, and he even received a high national honor from the French government. Akbar believes this honor ________. Today, Akbar still works from afternoon until evening, selling about 30 papers daily. In a digital age, his presence reminds people of a simpler joy. As a young cafe visitor, Amel Ghali, says: “He is inspiring (鼓舞人心的). Unfortunately, our children might not experience the simple pleasure of reading a newspaper with a coffee.” 1．What job does Ali Akbar do in Paris? 2．Does Ali Akbar use the newspaper’s original headlines to sell? 3．According to Ali Akbar, what was his main purpose for creating his own headlines? 4．How did Ali Akbar learn French after arriving in France? 5．Fill in the blanks in less than 8 words in Paragraph 3. 6．Like Ali Akbar who creates a “good mood”, what is one way you can bring a little joy to others in your daily life? Passage 2 （2026·上海青浦·一模）It started badly. The phone was ringing. I was feeling good but nervous-a big day for me! And I answered it without thinking. Bad idea! It was Luke Williams. “Why is he ringing me now?” I thought. He just said, “Hello... hello? Is that Tom?” “H-h-h-hello?” Trying to say ‘hello’ was my second bad idea. My throat just closed up and all that came out was a strange sound. Then I heard someone laughing. It sounded like Ryan Colby. I just put the phone down. As I said, today was a really big day for me. The last time I spoke in class was three years ago and it didn’t go well. I tried to say the letter ‘W’ and made that strange sound. Everyone laughed at me and I haven’t spoken in class since. But it’s been going really well lately. I attended a speech course. Now I can speak without stuttering (口吃) when listening to music on my headphones! That’s why I agreed to talk at the science fair today. I got to school early this morning to prepare for the talk which is about bacteria to eat plastic. Luke Williams was waiting by the entrance. When I arrived, he smiled at me. Then Ryan Colby came up and said, “Hey, Tom, guess what?” I didn’t think. I tried to say, “What?” and of course got stuck on the ‘W’ and you can guess what happened then. So Ryan Colby and his friends started laughing. I turned and ran. I wasn’t going to give the talk, but then I got a text from Dad saying good luck. And I thought OK. I was not going to let Ryan Colby make me feel bad any more. When it was my turn, I was so nervous that I chose the wrong music on my MP3 player. I was listening to my dance collection. The problem was that when I had dance music on the headphones, I couldn’t stop myself talking in the same rhythm as the music. So it just sounded like I was rapping! Most people in school have never heard me speak. They weren’t expecting a rap presentation. I could see they were laughing at me, but I didn’t care. When I finished, they all stood up and cheered. Luke came to me this afternoon. He told me he was ringing to wish me luck this morning. And that wasn’t Ryan Colby laughing. It was Luke’s dog barking! We talked for three hours this afternoon! When I said goodbye to him at the door, Luke turned around and said, “Guess what?” And I said, “What?” 1．In Tom’s opinion, what was the second bad idea about taking the phone? 2．How was Tom’s speech three years ago? 3．What was Tom going to do on his big day? 4．Why did Tom’s talking sound like he was rapping? 5．What can you infer (推断) from the last sentence? 6．What can you learn from the writer’s experiences? (List two points) Passage 3 （2026·上海黄浦·一模）Every day when Mike and Sally play outside, they see a man walking. He walks with a white stick. He cannot see. He is blind. It always puzzles them. “How can he walk on a busy street?” asks Mike. “It must be very dangerous,” says Sally. The boy and the girl watch as the man walks. He walks slowly. He walks to the traffic light and then stops. When the light turns green, he starts walking again. He does not hit anything as he walks. “It’s amazing. And it must be scary too,” says Sally. “He knows where to go and where to stop as if he could see.” One day, the blind man was passing by, and he heard the children talking. He stopped in front of their house. “Hello kids,” he said, “I hear you talking about how I walk.” “Yes, we always wonder how you know where to go and when to stop on such a busy street. It is safer to stay indoors.” The man smiled, “I trained myself to listen very well. I listen with my ears for every sound when I am out of the house. I use my cane for me too. When my stick bumps into something, I know to stop and go around it.” The man continued, “Yes, it is safer to stay indoors. But I love to walk. I love the hot sun. I love the smell of flowers. I love to hear the birds singing. Most of all, I love to get some exercise.” Sally said, “Thank you. We have learned something today. We think you are a brave man. We can see. We can walk. We will get some exercise, too. You are a good example for us to follow.” 1．What do Mike and Sally see every day? 2．What is amazing to them when they watch the blind man walk? 3．Why did the blind man stop in front of their house? 4．How does the blind man walk safely on the busy street? 5．Is it safer for the blind man to stay indoors or to walk outdoors? 6．What do Mike and Sally learn from the blind man?

Determined to do well, she had an idea of a study schedule and spent many hours in the library. She found a quiet corner near the windows, where the natural light helped her stay focused. Every day after classes, she would sit there with her notes, textbooks, and a lot of study material cards. Rachel, Daniel, and Mia often joined her, creating a supportive study group. As the days passed, Samantha’s confidence grew. She felt prepared, but the night before the exam, nerves appeared slowly in her mind. Unable to sleep, she reviewed her notes one last time, focusing on key points and memorable quotes (名句). The next morning, Samantha walked to the exam room with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. She found a seat and took a deep breath as the professor handed out the exam papers. The questions were challenging. But she felt confident. She methodically (有条不紊地) worked through each one, her preparation getting rewards. After the exam, Samantha met with Rachel, Daniel, and Mia outside the building. They exchanged smiles happily. “How do you think you did?” Mia asked. “I think it went well,” Samantha replied. “All that studying really helped.” To hold a celebration, they decided to treat themselves to lunch at their favorite cafe. As they enjoyed their meal, Samantha reflected on what she and her friends had done during the preparation for the final exam that had brought her here. She felt proud and thankful. As she walked to her dorm (学生宿舍) that evening, Samantha felt a sense of accomplishment (成就).

It changes over time, and modern life is one of the main reasons. Today, technology, social media, and globalization are changing the way we live, think, and communicate. Young people can watch movies from other countries, listen to international music, and even follow fashion online. In addition, cultural festivals and international events are now more available thanks to online platforms, allowing people to experience other cultures without leaving their homes. Social media, in particular, has a big effect on culture. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube allow teenagers to share videos, photos, and ideas with people around the world. This can make cultural fashion spread very quickly. While this can be exciting, it also means that traditional customs and local cultures may be forgotten if people focus only on global fashion. Moreover, some people worry that excessive online influence may make young people accept foreign habits without understanding their basis. Even so, modern influences are not always negative. They can help people understand and enjoy other cultures. By learning about different countries through technology and media, young people can develop more open minds and respect for diversity. At the same time, they can mix traditional and modern ideas to create new ways of celebrating culture. For instance, some schools now combine local festivals with global online fashion, making celebrations more attractive and educational. In this way, modern life shapes culture in an energetic way, showing that the past and the present can exist together, influencing who we are today. It reminds us that culture is constantly evolving (逐渐发展), and we all play a part in shaping it. 1．What’s one of the main reason for cultural change mentioned in the passage? 2．How can young people experience other cultures without leaving their homes? 3．What is one negative effect of social media on culture according to the passage? 4．Modern influences are not always negative, are they? 5．Why do some schools combine traditional and modern ideas to celebrate culture? 6．What can you do to better participate in shaping culture in the modern world? Passage 6 （2026·上海闵行·一模）Tess had been in bed with the flu for nearly a week. She was tired of feeling sick and achy. On Friday, Tess’s mom had to go back to work, so Tess’s grandmother, Nonnie, was coming to stay with her for the day. Tess waited impatiently for Grandma to arrive, hoping she would bring some homemade peach ice cream. Finally, she heard voices downstairs. “How’s my girl?” she asked Tess. “I heard you were feeling under the weather.” Nonnie was carrying a small blue bowl in one hand. A quilt was draped over her other arm. “Hi, Nonnie!” said Tess cheerfully. “Is that peach ice cream for breakfast?” she asked. “How did you know?” said Nonnie. “I thought it might help you get your appetite back.” She handed the bowl to her granddaughter. “Why did you take a quilt with you?” asked Tess. “Well, I thought the quilt might make you feel better, too.” said Nonnie. “It was your mother’s favorite quilt when she was a little girl.” “Did you make it?” Tess asked her grandmother. “No,” answered Nonnie, “but my mother and my aunt made it when I was small. This quilt has seen a lot of things.” she said softly. Tess rubbed a corner of the quilt against her cheek. “I like this piece best, I think,” she said, pointing to a large block of red flowered fabric (布料). “That was from the dress I wore for my sixth birthday,” said Nonnie, smiling. “It was my very favorite dress, but I outgrew it by my next birthday.” “What about this one?” Tess asked Nonnie. “That piece was from my mother’s favorite apron (围裙),” said Nonnie, gently touching a small piece of cotton. “She was wearing that apron the day my little brother fell in the stream beside our backyard. She ran out of the house when she heard us screaming for help,” remembered Nonnie. “She tore (弄破) the apron on a rock in the stream, but my brother was okay.” “Nonnie. is there a story for every block in this quilt?” asked Tess. “Almost every single one,” answered Nonnie. “Now that you know some of them, maybe you will remember and tell your grandchildren about them one day.” Tess thought for a moment. “Nonnie, you were right. This quilt did make me feel better.” 1．Tess was tired of being ill, wasn’t she? 2．What did Grandmother bring to Tess? 3．Who made the quilt? 4．What did Nonnie mean when she said, “This quilt has seen a lot of things.”? 5．When did Nonnie’s mother tear her apron? 6．Why did Tess say “Nonnie, you were right. This quilt did make me feel better.”?(Give two reasons) Passage 7 （2026·上海普陀·一模）It was Tuesday night. On the balcony of my tenth-floor apartment, I looked at the sky with eager eyes, hoping to see a shooting star. “Shooting stars are lucky.” Grandma always says. “Will I see a shooting star tonight, Grandma?” “There are too many lights tonight, Judy,” Grandma said,“and I hear dreams calling.” She kissed my hair and put me to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I smelled buttermilk biscuits. My favourite! “Your shooting stars came for breakfast” Grandma winked. In her hands was a plate of star-shaped biscuits, each with a lovely little tail My eyes went wide, and then they filled with something shining. Then it was time for school. Before the third floor, the elevator stopped with a loud noise and went dark. My heart pounded so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell for help. Then, in the darkness, she found my cold hand. She began to hum (哼曲子), and soon, my shaky voice joined hers. Grandma’s little song seemed to have magic power. Before long, our neighbours helped us out. But I didn’t want to go to school any more. “A stuck elevator doesn’t get to decide your day. Let’s go.” Grandma took my hand and walked out to school, humming our favourite song... When I got home, Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. I told her about school. “Sarah found a four-leaf clover. Ben got the last cookie from the cafeteria...Will I see a shooting star tonight?” “The night isn’t over yet. Go to the balcony and wait.” Grandma smiled. After dinner, I couldn’t find Grandma anywhere. I went to the balcony alone, still hoping to see a shooting star. Suddenly, the dark sky was lit up. I nearly shouted out. A shooting star? But then— boom!—a fountain of gold sparks exploded right above me, dancing and falling slowly. Fireworks! Before I could catch my breath, another followed, a shining blue, then a red, painting the quiet night with bright colours. My heart jumped with joy and wonder. When I turned around, I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand. “Do you like the shooting stars tonight?” She smiled. At that very moment, I realized: I may not be “lucky” in a traditional way, but I know I AM truly lucky. 1．Where did Judy wait to see a shooting star on Tuesday night? 2．According to Grandma, why couldn’t Judy see a shooting star that night? 3．How did Judy feel when she saw Grandma’s star-shaped buttermilk biscuits?

Passage 8 （2026·上海浦东新·一模）Monday, 1 September     Rainy Dear diary, This morning, when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t feel like myself at all. Today was my first day wearing the eye patch (眼罩). Mum told me it would help my injured eye, but that didn’t comfort me. I couldn’t help thinking about the boys on the playground—would they point and laugh at me? On the bus, I kept close to the window and watched the rain run down the glass. At school, when my classmates saw me, they came to ask me what happened to my eye. I knew they didn’t want to hurt me—they just wanted to show care and kindness, but a little sadness and worry still came over me. What a day!Tuesday, 2 September     Cloudy Dear diary, Today didn’t start any better. But we had a special class. Our class teacher held up a piece of white paper with a small black dot, “What do you see first?” “The black dot!” we said. She smiled, “Life is like this. We often notice the black dots, but don’t forget the white paper. Why not turn the dot into something nice?” Then she asked us to draw with the black dot. This class touched me. After class, I took out a pencil and drew a shark on my patch. Back in the classroom, kids crowded around me and showed great interest in my design. “Nice painting!” someone cried out and was amazed by my talent for drawing. This made me a little lighter and helped me regain confidence. Wednesday, 3 September     Sunny Dear diary, Everything moved in a positive direction today. I joked to my classmates that my shark would protect me from anyone who made fun of me. Everyone laughed after hearing it. A few kids even asked me to draw animals for them. Hearing the word “cool” warmed my heart. Before I knew it, the day was over. How I wish it could be a little more! Till now, this patch isn’t just a drawing anymore. It reminds me that ________. 1．Did the author wear his eye patch for fun? 2．What did the author’s classmates do when they saw him at first? 3．Where did the author draw a shark after class? 4．On which day did the author make a joke to his classmates? 5．Based on the three diaries, how did the author’s feelings change? 6．What does this special patch remind the author? Fill in the blank. Passage 9 （2026·上海宝山·一模）Cole loved helping in his mother’s garden since he was a child. But after he finished school, he worked as a salesman in a shopping center for thirty years. “Everything changed in 2016,” Cole said. That year, Cole’s mum, a flower-lover, moved in with him and his wife. She was shocked by so much litter on the street. “Why are there so many rubbish bags and empty bottles on this street?” she asked. She pointed at the dry tree pits (坑) outside their house and said, “Let’s plant some roses from our old garden here!” Mum and Cole began to work. They moved young rose plants into six tree pits. Guess what? The plants grew really well! To their surprise, there was no more litter around. “That was great! I realized that I could change something, rather than just sitting at home,” said Cole. In the following year, Cole created different gardens in six tree pits along the street. People up and down the street stopped to ask, “Who planted these flowers? They’re so beautiful!” and strangers turned into friends. Kids offered to water the plants. The next spring, the city used the strong grass killer on the whole street to kill wild grass. Days later, all the plants turned brown. Cole stood in front of the dead flowers, heartbroken. Then Aunt Mary from next door walked over with some seeds. “I have some flower seeds. Let’s start again!” The news spread. Tom brought young rose plants. Lisa brought sunflower seeds. Even Mr. Smith, the serious banker, gave strawberry vines from his garden. Soon, fifteen tree pits were full of colourful plants. A group of neighbours helped look after them. The experience led Cole to begin his “City Garden Project”. The project has turned over twenty parking lot corners into wildflower beds. Whenever he sees kids watching bees in the flower beds, he remembers his mum’s words: “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” 1．Why did Cole’s mum suggest planting roses? 2．Did the flowers Cole had planted die after the city used the grass killer? 3．What experience led Cole to start his “City Garden Project”? 4．What does “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” mean in the story? 5．How did Cole’s mum influence his “City Garden Project”? (2 points) 6．If you were Cole, what would be your ways to protect the plants from the city’s grass killer? Passage 10 （2026·上海奉贤·一模）Slowing down and really looking In Manchester Art Gallery (曼彻斯特美术馆), there is a small room painted a dark green colour. While the next room, which shows paintings by LS Lowry, is very crowded, this room is quiet. Visitors stay here for a long time, often spending up to fifteen minutes looking at just three paintings. Louise Thompson is the museum consultant (顾问) who had the idea for this “mindfulness (正念) room”. She says that when people come in, they look nervous and do not want to talk to others. However, after ten or fifteen minutes, their bodies relax and they start talking to the person next to them. The room is an experiment called “slow looking”. This is the opposite of how many people usually visit museums. Usually, we walk around quickly, trying to see everything, but we do not really see anything. A recent study showed that the average visitor spends less than 30 seconds looking at a painting. If they take a photo of it, they look for even less time. Thompson was inspired by Professor James O. Pawelski. He encourages museums to help improve the well-being (身心健康) of visitors. He says, “When we look at art slowly, it is not just about the art, it is about us. It gives us a chance to forget our busy lives and think about ourselves.” Susan McClements, a visitor aged 62, tried the room and said she understood the paintings better—even the ones she did not like. “You see the details, the colours, and how the paint was put on,” she said. “It gives you a completely different way of seeing.” The mindfulness room is only a short-term project, but Thompson hopes it will change how the gallery treats visitors in the future. She says museums can be tiring places because you walk and read so much. However, if they are designed well, they can be places of deep rest and quiet thought. 1．How many paintings are there in the small, dark green room? 2．How do visitors feel after spending fifteen minutes in the mindfulness room? 3．How long does an average visitor spend looking at a painting? 4．According to Professor James O. Pawelski, why should people look at art slowly? 5．The mindfulness room changed Susan McClements’s way of seeing things, didn’t it? 6．Would you like to spend time in the mindfulness room when visiting the museum? Why or why not? Passage 11 （2026·上海长宁·一模）Atlantis is an ancient city lying beneath the waves of the sea. Does this sound like a fairy tale to you? Many people have tried but failed to find it. Michael from Germany thought he had. Let us learn some more about this city.How did we first learn about Atlantis? The Greek philosopher Plato mentioned Atlantis in great detail in some of his writings. He said that Atlantis was a city built on an island around 9000 years before his time. This city disappeared suddenly because of earthquakes and floods. Plato also gave 51 clues to the location of this city.Was Atlantis under the sea? Many explorers had been looking under the sea because of what Plato wrote about it. Michael came up with the idea that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean. He thought that Atlantis had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. That meant that it had been covered by water, but only for a short time. The strong force of the wave would have caused the end of the great city.________? Michael decided to look at all of Plato’s clues again. He used a computer program to enter all the information Plato wrote about, including the distance from Athens. The computer program would then search the world map for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael was able to find the place that he thought Atlantis might have been.Where did Michael think Atlantis had been? The computer program pointed to a place called the Souss-Massa plain on the Moroccan coast in Africa. Michael immediately boarded a plane and went to look for himself. When he got there, he was surprised to see many things that matched Plato’s description. Even though Michael believed he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about the neighbouring island destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC． Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. Either way, Michael believed Plato. He used his time and energy to prove to himself that Atlantis existed. 1．Many people have managed to find Atlantis, haven’t they? 2．Why did Atlantis disappear according to Plato? 3．What was Michael’s idea about Atlantis? 4．What question is probably asked in this blank? 5．Why didn’t many experts believe Plato? 6．Do you think Michael’s research method is scientific? Tell your reason (s). Passage 12 （2026·上海静安·一模）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） Every year, Mayfield School holds a “Family Tradition Week”, where students share something from their culture. This year, Ms. Patel’s class chose a delicious idea: the Secret Recipe Project. Each student had to bring a family recipe—not the whole instructions, just a story about it. The goal was understanding history through food. On Monday, Marco shared his grandmother’s tomato soup. He explained that she made it every winter to keep the house warm. When he read his story, the whole class said they could almost smell the soup. On Tuesday, Amina brought a special recipe for sweet rice her father learned from his grandparents. “It’s the taste of celebrations,” she said. By Wednesday, something interesting happened: students started noticing similarities. Many recipes came from moments of comfort—rainy days, holidays and family gatherings. For the final project, the class created a “Recipe Map”. They placed each recipe on a large world map based on where the family came from. The map was colourful and full of tiny illustrations (插图) of ingredients. At the end of the week, Ms. Patel gave a simple message: “We may have different recipes, but ________.” The Secret Recipe Project reminded students that food carries more than flavour—it carries memories. 1．The Secret Recipe Project was part of Mayfield School’s Family Tradition Week, wasn’t it? 2．How did the class feel when Marco shared his tomato soup story? 3．Why did Amina say her sweet rice recipe was special? 4．What did the students discover about their recipes by Wednesday? 5．What can be filled in the blank? 6．Is the Secret Recipe Project meaningful? Why or why not? (Give 2 reasons) Passage 13 （2026·上海松江·一模）Ancient Tree-Planting: The Perfect Combination of Reality and Ideal Chinese people have a deep love for all things in the world, and trees are no exception, of course. Although the ancients didn’t have a fixed day to plant trees like the Tree-Planting Day we have now, the culture of planting trees has been there for thousands of years. Back then, it was always sunny and rainy around the Qingming Festival in spring, creating an ideal (理想的) environment for tree growth. The trees planted around this time always had a better survival rate and an advantage in growing. Therefore, the ancients gradually formed the custom of planting trees around this traditional Festival. There are thousands of kinds of trees. However, mulberry trees (桑树) and fruit trees were especially popular in ancient times. Silkworms (蚕) took mulberry leaves as their food. Silk was produced from the cocoons of the silkworms, and then skillfully made into silk cloth and traded between the east and west of the world. Needless to say, fruit trees were the ancients’ favorite. Li Heng, from the Three Kingdoms Period, left his future generations more than a thousand citrus trees (柑橘树), calling them “wooden servants”. Moreover, ancient Chinese culture saw trees as powerful symbols. Bamboo, for example, was highly respected for being hollow inside and growing straight upward. These features were seen as signs of a good heart and a strong character. These are the qualities the ancients looked for in kind and honest people. Similarly, pine trees (松树) were admired for staying green even in winter snow. Poets compared them to ________. Today, as we celebrate Tree-Planting Day, we continue to carry forward the tradition of planting trees. 1．Did ancient Chinese people celebrate the Tree-Planting Day? 2．When did ancient Chinese people plant trees? 3．Why did ancient Chinese people plant mulberry trees? 4．What does the phrase “wooden servants” in the third paragraph refer to? 5．What can be filled in the blank in the fourth paragraph? 6．How do you understand the title of the article? Passage 14 （2026·上海嘉定·一模） That morning, Emma sat at the kitchen table while her parents made breakfast. “Can you taste this soup for me?” Her mother asked. “Is it too salty?” Her father took a small taste and said, “A little. Add just a tiny bit more water.” Emma watched them cook together. They didn’t argue. They just helped each other and changed the soup little by little until it smelled perfect. Emma enjoyed the soup and left for school. Later that day, ding-ling-ling! The bell rang, and school was finally out. Emma grabbed her backpack and rushed to the library for the Writing Club meeting. “Hello, everyone,” Miss Rosa said. “Today, you will share your stories with a critique partner. Who remembers what ‘critique’ means?” “It means giving helpful feedback,” Emma answered, “so someone can write better.” “Exactly” Miss Rosa said. “Let’s begin” Penny was Emma’s partner. Penny was always great at spelling and grammar. Emma felt nervous because she often made spelling mistakes, even though she had lots of good story ideas. Penny read her story first. It was about a stray (流浪) dog named Sunny who saved a family during a flood. Emma smiled. “Your story is exciting,” she said. “And your writing is very clean.” Penny looked down at her paper. “Thanks,” she said quietly. After the meeting, Penny packed her bag fast. A book fell out. Emma picked it up to help her. The title was A Dog Named Sunny. Emma opened it and read a few lines. The beginning sounded very similar to Penny’s story. Later, Emma saw Penny sitting alone on a bench. Emma sat down and spoke softly. “Penny, I saw your book. Some parts of your story sound like it. Did you use it?” Penny’s face turned red. “I… I did,” she whispered. “I didn’t know what to write. I only wanted ideas, but I think I copied too much.” Emma remembered what critique meant. She didn’t want to hurt Penny. “It’s okay,” Emma said. Suddenly, Emma thought about the soup that morning. “I think I have an idea to make our stories perfect.” Penny looked up with a big surprise. “What idea?” She asked. “________” Emma said with a smile. 1．Emma was a member of the Writing Club, wasn’t she? 2．What did Miss Rosa ask the club members to do in the meeting? 3．What made Emma feel nervous during the club meeting? 4．How did Emma describe Penny’s story and writing? 5．Why did Penny’s face turn red? 6．What is Emma’s idea? Fill in the blank with at least 2 sentences. Passage 15 （2026·上海徐汇·一模）Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Does Using AI for Schoolwork Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves? A recent study has caused a debate about whether using AI for schoolwork harms students’ ability to think independently. Researchers divided 54 adults into 2 groups and asked them to write essays. One group used AI, and the other group relied only on their own minds. The results showed that AI users had lower brain activity and remembered little of what they wrote. This has led to concerns about how AI tools affect students’ thinking skills. Let’s hear two opinions on this issue. Yes. AI Harms Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves    By Jessie I agree with the findings of the study. For example, if a student uses AI to write an essay, they might not learn how to organize their thoughts or have ideas. The study showed that AI users produced “soulless” essays with similar phrases and no creativity. This is like copying answers from a friend’s homework. You might get a good grade, but you won’t truly understand the material. Moreover, students’ brains need to grow through practice and effort. Thinking skills improve when students work hard to solve problems. If they rely too much on AI, their brains might become lazy. No! AI Does Not Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves    By William I disagree with the idea that AI harms students’ thinking skills. In fact, it can be helpful if used correctly. For example, AI can help students brainstorm ideas or explain difficult concepts. This is like using a calculator for math. It helps with the hard parts, but students still need to think about the process. Besides, AI can save time. For example, instead of spending hours researching a topic, a student can use AI to find information in a flash and then spend more time analyzing it. This can actually improve their critical thinking skills because they have more time to study the material. The key is not to use AI as a replacement for thinking. Students can use AI to assist them while still building their own ideas. What do you think? Should students use AI for schoolwork, or should they rely only on their own minds? The answer might depend on __________. 1．What can we learn from the result of the recent study? (No more than 10 words.) We can learn that . 2．Do Jessie and William share the same opinion on the issue? 3．What are “soulless” essays like according to Jessie? 4．According to William, how can AI benefit students? Provide at least two examples from his opinion. 5．Based on both opinions, what is probably the real factor (因素) that decides how AI affects students’ thinking skills? Complete the last sentence. The answer might depend on . 6．Please explain why copying answers from a friend’s homework might lead to a good grade but not help you truly understand the material. Write at least two reasons. Passage 16 （2026·上海杨浦·一模）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） Amy 2 hours ago Hi everyone! I’ve always admired students who hand in their homework on time and never forget. Me, on the other hand... OK, I admit it—I’m not very good at getting myself organised! But lately, I've started keeping a small study diary. I write down what I need to do and when it needs to be finished. I also check it every day after school, just to make sure I haven’t missed anything. It’s really helping. So I’m wondering: What are your tips for getting organised? Leave a comment below. Let’s help each other study better!                                                            Hana 1 hour ago Good question, Amy! I spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up my school things. I put my books and papers into the right folders and throw away things I don’t need any more. Then it’s much easier to find my homework the next day. Reply                                                                         Amy50 mins ago Nice tip, Hana. Doing a little bit every day sounds like a good habit. Gloria 45 mins ago I think it’s important not to leave studying until the night before a test. I try to look over my notes after each lesson and do a little review during the week. That way, I feel calmer. Reply                                                                         Amy40 mins ago Thanks, Gloria! I agree—reviewing little by little really helps. Lou 25 mins ago Hi, Amy. I use a large noticeboard in my room. I divide it into sections for each subject and write down homework and deadlines. I check it every day. My favourite moment is crossing something off when it’s finished! Reply                                                                         Amy20 mins ago Great idea, Lou. I like the idea of crossing things off—it makes me feel organized too. 1．Was Lou the first to reply to the post? 2．What does Hana do at the end of each day? 3．According to Gloria, when should students review their notes? 4．How does Lou feel when he crosses things off after finishing his homework? 5．What does Amy mean by saying she is “not organised”? 6．What is one new tip you can offer Amy?

Passage 2 （2026·上海青浦·一模）It started badly. The phone was ringing. I was feeling good but nervous-a big day for me! And I answered it without thinking. Bad idea! It was Luke Williams. “Why is he ringing me now?” I thought. He just said, “Hello... hello? Is that Tom?” “H-h-h-hello?” Trying to say ‘hello’ was my second bad idea. My throat just closed up and all that came out was a strange sound. Then I heard someone laughing. It sounded like Ryan Colby. I just put the phone down. As I said, today was a really big day for me. The last time I spoke in class was three years ago and it didn’t go well. I tried to say the letter ‘W’ and made that strange sound. Everyone laughed at me and I haven’t spoken in class since. But it’s been going really well lately. I attended a speech course. Now I can speak without stuttering (口吃) when listening to music on my headphones! That’s why I agreed to talk at the science fair today. I got to school early this morning to prepare for the talk which is about bacteria to eat plastic. Luke Williams was waiting by the entrance. When I arrived, he smiled at me. Then Ryan Colby came up and said, “Hey, Tom, guess what?” I didn’t think. I tried to say, “What?” and of course got stuck on the ‘W’ and you can guess what happened then. So Ryan Colby and his friends started laughing. I turned and ran. I wasn’t going to give the talk, but then I got a text from Dad saying good luck. And I thought OK. I was not going to let Ryan Colby make me feel bad any more. When it was my turn, I was so nervous that I chose the wrong music on my MP3 player. I was listening to my dance collection. The problem was that when I had dance music on the headphones, I couldn’t stop myself talking in the same rhythm as the music. So it just sounded like I was rapping! Most people in school have never heard me speak. They weren’t expecting a rap presentation. I could see they were laughing at me, but I didn’t care. When I finished, they all stood up and cheered. Luke came to me this afternoon. He told me he was ringing to wish me luck this morning. And that wasn’t Ryan Colby laughing. It was Luke’s dog barking! We talked for three hours this afternoon! When I said goodbye to him at the door, Luke turned around and said, “Guess what?” And I said, “What?” 1．In Tom’s opinion, what was the second bad idea about taking the phone? 2．How was Tom’s speech three years ago? 3．What was Tom going to do on his big day? 4．Why did Tom’s talking sound like he was rapping? 5．What can you infer (推断) from the last sentence? 6．What can you learn from the writer’s experiences? (List two points) 【答案】1．Trying to say “hello”. 2．It didn’t go well (and everyone laughed). 3．He was going to give a talk at the science fair. 4．Because he was listening to his dance music and talking in the same rhythm. 5．Tom has overcome his stuttering/improved his confidence. 6．①We should face difficulties bravely. ②Our true friends will always support us./① Practice and proper methods (like the speech course) can help us overcome weaknesses. ②Don’t let others’ laughter stop you from trying. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了有口吃的汤姆在经历了三年前课堂发言的失败后，通过参加演讲课程找到了戴着耳机听音乐时能流利说话的方法。在他准备在科学展上发表演讲的大日子，他先是因接到卢克电话和遭遇赖安的嘲笑而备受打击想要放弃，但最终鼓起勇气完成了演讲，并以一种意想不到的说唱方式赢得了满堂喝彩，同时也澄清了早上的误会并与卢克成为了朋友。 1．根据第一段和第二段描述，汤姆在重要的日子接到卢克的电话是第一个坏主意。他的第二个坏主意是试图说“你好”。原文“Trying to say ‘hello’ was my second bad idea.” 故填Trying to say “hello”. 2．根据第三段“The last time I spoke in class was three years ago and it didn’t go well. Everyone laughed at me...”可知，汤姆三年前的演讲进行得不顺利，大家都笑了。故填It didn’t go well (and everyone laughed). 3．根据第四段“That’s why I agreed to talk at the science fair today.”可知，在他的大日子，汤姆计划在科学展上做一个演讲。故填He was going to give a talk at the science fair. 4．根据第七段“The problem was that when I had dance music on the headphones, I couldn’t stop myself talking in the same rhythm as the music. So it just sounded like I was rapping!”可知，汤姆的演讲听起来像说唱，是因为他听着舞曲，说话不由自主地跟着音乐的节奏。故填Because he was listening to his dance music and talking in the same rhythm. 5．根据最后一段，汤姆在门口与卢克告别时，卢克说“Guess what?”，汤姆能够流畅地回答“What?”，而在文章开头和中间，汤姆都因为口吃无法说出包含“W”的单词。这个对比可以推断出，汤姆已经克服了口吃的问题（或至少在此刻自信地克服了）。故填Tom has overcome his stuttering/improved his confidence. 6．本题为开放性问答，要求从作者的经历中学到两点启示。答案需从文章中提炼，符合逻辑。例如：①勇敢面对困难（从汤姆最终决定演讲并坚持完成）；②真正的朋友总会支持你（从卢克打电话为他加油并最终澄清误会）；③练习和正确的方法可以帮助我们克服弱点（从汤姆参加演讲课程并找到有效方法）；④不要让他人的嘲笑阻止你尝试（从汤姆不顾嘲笑最终完成演讲）。故填①We should face difficulties bravely. ②Our true friends will always support us./① Practice and proper methods (like the speech course) can help us overcome weaknesses. ②Don’t let others’ laughter stop you from trying. (答案符合逻辑、语法正确即可) Passage 3 （2026·上海黄浦·一模）Every day when Mike and Sally play outside, they see a man walking. He walks with a white stick. He cannot see. He is blind.

Passage 5 （2026·上海虹口·一模）Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) How Modern Life Changes Culture Culture is not fixed. It changes over time, and modern life is one of the main reasons. Today, technology, social media, and globalization are changing the way we live, think, and communicate. Young people can watch movies from other countries, listen to international music, and even follow fashion online. In addition, cultural festivals and international events are now more available thanks to online platforms, allowing people to experience other cultures without leaving their homes. Social media, in particular, has a big effect on culture. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube allow teenagers to share videos, photos, and ideas with people around the world. This can make cultural fashion spread very quickly. While this can be exciting, it also means that traditional customs and local cultures may be forgotten if people focus only on global fashion. Moreover, some people worry that excessive online influence may make young people accept foreign habits without understanding their basis. Even so, modern influences are not always negative. They can help people understand and enjoy other cultures. By learning about different countries through technology and media, young people can develop more open minds and respect for diversity. At the same time, they can mix traditional and modern ideas to create new ways of celebrating culture. For instance, some schools now combine local festivals with global online fashion, making celebrations more attractive and educational. In this way, modern life shapes culture in an energetic way, showing that the past and the present can exist together, influencing who we are today. It reminds us that culture is constantly evolving (逐渐发展), and we all play a part in shaping it. 1．What’s one of the main reason for cultural change mentioned in the passage? 2．How can young people experience other cultures without leaving their homes? 3．What is one negative effect of social media on culture according to the passage? 4．Modern influences are not always negative, are they? 5．Why do some schools combine traditional and modern ideas to celebrate culture? 6．What can you do to better participate in shaping culture in the modern world? 【答案】1．Modern life. 2．They can experience other cultures without leaving their homes through online platforms where cultural festivals and international events are more available. 3．Traditional customs and local cultures may be forgotten and young people may accept foreign habits without understanding their basis. 4．No, they aren’t. 5．To make celebrations more attractive and educational. 6．I’ll learn about different cultures online to gain new ideas for cultural shaping.（答案不唯一） 【导语】本文探讨了现代生活对文化的深刻影响。科技与社交媒体打破了地域界限，让多元文化得以快速传播与交融，既可能冲击传统习俗，也为文化创新注入活力。文章指出，传统与现代可在碰撞中和谐共存，推动文化不断演变，而我们每个人都是这一动态进程的参与者与塑造者。 1．根据“Culture is not fixed. It changes over time, and modern life is one of the main reasons.”可知，文化并非一成不变。它随时间而变化，而现代生活是其中一个主要原因。故填Modern life. 2．根据“In addition, cultural festivals and international events are now more available thanks to online platforms, allowing people to experience other cultures without leaving their homes.”可知，得益于在线平台，文化节和国际活动现在更容易参与，人们无需离开家门就能体验其他文化。故填They can experience other cultures without leaving their homes through online platforms where cultural festivals and international events are more available. 3．根据“While this can be exciting, it also means that traditional customs and local cultures may be forgotten if people focus only on global fashion. Moreover, some people worry that excessive online influence may make young people accept foreign habits without understanding their basis.”可知，社交媒体对文化的负面影响有传统习俗和当地文化可能被遗忘，年轻人可能在不理解外国习惯的基础就接受它们。故填Traditional customs and local cultures may be forgotten and young people may accept foreign habits without understanding their basis. 4．根据“Even so, modern influences are not always negative.”可知，现代影响不总是负面的，答案是否定回答。故填No, they aren’t. 5．根据“For instance, some schools now combine local festivals with global online fashion, making celebrations more attractive and educational.”可知，一些学校结合传统和现代理念庆祝文化是为了让庆祝活动更有吸引力和教育意义。故填To make celebrations more attractive and educational. 6．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I’ll learn about different cultures online to gain new ideas for cultural shaping.

On the balcony of my tenth-floor apartment, I looked at the sky with eager eyes, hoping to see a shooting star. “Shooting stars are lucky.” Grandma always says. “Will I see a shooting star tonight, Grandma?” “There are too many lights tonight, Judy,” Grandma said,“and I hear dreams calling.” She kissed my hair and put me to bed.

In her hands was a plate of star-shaped biscuits, each with a lovely little tail My eyes went wide, and then they filled with something shining. Then it was time for school. Before the third floor, the elevator stopped with a loud noise and went dark. My heart pounded so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell for help. Then, in the darkness, she found my cold hand. She began to hum (哼曲子), and soon, my shaky voice joined hers. Grandma’s little song seemed to have magic power. Before long, our neighbours helped us out. But I didn’t want to go to school any more. “A stuck elevator doesn’t get to decide your day. Let’s go.” Grandma took my hand and walked out to school, humming our favourite song... When I got home, Grandma was cooking in the kitchen. I told her about school. “Sarah found a four-leaf clover. Ben got the last cookie from the cafeteria...Will I see a shooting star tonight?” “The night isn’t over yet. Go to the balcony and wait.” Grandma smiled. After dinner, I couldn’t find Grandma anywhere. I went to the balcony alone, still hoping to see a shooting star. Suddenly, the dark sky was lit up. I nearly shouted out. A shooting star? But then— boom!—a fountain of gold sparks exploded right above me, dancing and falling slowly. Fireworks! Before I could catch my breath, another followed, a shining blue, then a red, painting the quiet night with bright colours. My heart jumped with joy and wonder. When I turned around, I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand. “Do you like the shooting stars tonight?” She smiled. At that very moment, I realized: I may not be “lucky” in a traditional way, but I know I AM truly lucky. 1．Where did Judy wait to see a shooting star on Tuesday night? 2．According to Grandma, why couldn’t Judy see a shooting star that night? 3．How did Judy feel when she saw Grandma’s star-shaped buttermilk biscuits? She felt and . 4．What does the underlined phrase “magic power” refer to? 5．What was Grandma doing when Judy was on the balcony alone? 6．How do you understand the underlined sentence? 【答案】37．On the balcony of her tenth-floor apartment. 38．Because there were too many lights that night. 39． surprised/amazed moved/touched 40．Grandma’s humming that calmed Judy down in the dark elevator. 41．She was setting off fireworks to create “shooting stars” for Judy. 42．Judy realizes that true luck comes from her grandma’s love, not from traditional signs like shooting stars. 【导语】本文主要讲述了小女孩Judy渴望看到流星，奶奶通过种种充满爱意的举动让她明白：真正的幸运来自家人的陪伴与关怀。 1．根据“On the balcony of my tenth-floor apartment, I looked at the sky...”可知，Judy在十楼公寓的阳台上等待流星。故填On the balcony of her tenth-floor apartment. 2．根据“‘There are too many lights tonight, Judy,’ Grandma said...”可知，奶奶认为当晚灯光太多，所以看不到流星。故填Because there were too many lights that night. 3．根据“My eyes went wide, and then they filled with something shining.”可知，Judy看到星星形状的饼干时既惊讶又感动。故填surprised/amazed；moved/touched. 4．根据“Before the third floor, the elevator stopped with a loud noise and went dark. My heart pounded so hard that I felt the beating in my ears. Grandma rang the bell for help. Then, in the darkness, she found my cold hand. She began to hum, and soon, my shaky voice joined hers.”可知，电梯故障后奶奶在黑暗中哼歌安抚Judy，使她的情绪逐渐平静，因此“magic power”指奶奶哼唱带来的镇定、安慰的效果。故可概括为Grandma’s humming that calmed Judy down in the dark elevator. 5．根据“I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand.”可知，当Judy独自在阳台时，奶奶正在为她放烟花，制造“流星”。故填She was setting off fireworks to create “shooting stars” for Judy. 6．根据“I may not be “lucky” in a traditional way, but I know I AM truly lucky. ”可知，这句话表明Judy 领悟到：虽然她没有以传统方式 (看到真流星) 获得“幸运”，但奶奶用爱与创意让她感受到自己是被珍视的，这种亲情才是真正的幸运。故填Judy realizes that true luck comes from her grandma’s love, not from traditional signs like shooting stars. Passage 8 （2026·上海浦东新·一模）Monday, 1 September     Rainy Dear diary, This morning, when I looked in the mirror, I didn’t feel like myself at all. Today was my first day wearing the eye patch (眼罩). Mum told me it would help my injured eye, but that didn’t comfort me. I couldn’t help thinking about the boys on the playground—would they point and laugh at me? On the bus, I kept close to the window and watched the rain run down the glass. At school, when my classmates saw me, they came to ask me what happened to my eye. I knew they didn’t want to hurt me—they just wanted to show care and kindness, but a little sadness and worry still came over me. What a day!Tuesday, 2 September     Cloudy Dear diary, Today didn’t start any better. But we had a special class. Our class teacher held up a piece of white paper with a small black dot, “What do you see first?” “The black dot!” we said. She smiled, “Life is like this. We often notice the black dots, but don’t forget the white paper. Why not turn the dot into something nice?” Then she asked us to draw with the black dot. This class touched me. After class, I took out a pencil and drew a shark on my patch. Back in the classroom, kids crowded around me and showed great interest in my design. “Nice painting!” someone cried out and was amazed by my talent for drawing. This made me a little lighter and helped me regain confidence. Wednesday, 3 September     Sunny Dear diary, Everything moved in a positive direction today. I joked to my classmates that my shark would protect me from anyone who made fun of me. Everyone laughed after hearing it. A few kids even asked me to draw animals for them.

But after he finished school, he worked as a salesman in a shopping center for thirty years. “Everything changed in 2016,” Cole said. That year, Cole’s mum, a flower-lover, moved in with him and his wife. She was shocked by so much litter on the street. “Why are there so many rubbish bags and empty bottles on this street?” she asked. She pointed at the dry tree pits (坑) outside their house and said, “Let’s plant some roses from our old garden here!” Mum and Cole began to work. They moved young rose plants into six tree pits. Guess what? The plants grew really well! To their surprise, there was no more litter around. “That was great! I realized that I could change something, rather than just sitting at home,” said Cole. In the following year, Cole created different gardens in six tree pits along the street. People up and down the street stopped to ask, “Who planted these flowers? They’re so beautiful!” and strangers turned into friends. Kids offered to water the plants. The next spring, the city used the strong grass killer on the whole street to kill wild grass. Days later, all the plants turned brown. Cole stood in front of the dead flowers, heartbroken. Then Aunt Mary from next door walked over with some seeds. “I have some flower seeds. Let’s start again!” The news spread. Tom brought young rose plants. Lisa brought sunflower seeds. Even Mr. Smith, the serious banker, gave strawberry vines from his garden. Soon, fifteen tree pits were full of colourful plants. A group of neighbours helped look after them. The experience led Cole to begin his “City Garden Project”. The project has turned over twenty parking lot corners into wildflower beds. Whenever he sees kids watching bees in the flower beds, he remembers his mum’s words: “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” 1．Why did Cole’s mum suggest planting roses? 2．Did the flowers Cole had planted die after the city used the grass killer? 3．What experience led Cole to start his “City Garden Project”? 4．What does “No big heroes are needed to change the world.” mean in the story? 5．How did Cole’s mum influence his “City Garden Project”?

Passage 10 （2026·上海奉贤·一模）Slowing down and really looking In Manchester Art Gallery (曼彻斯特美术馆), there is a small room painted a dark green colour. While the next room, which shows paintings by LS Lowry, is very crowded, this room is quiet. Visitors stay here for a long time, often spending up to fifteen minutes looking at just three paintings. Louise Thompson is the museum consultant (顾问) who had the idea for this “mindfulness (正念) room”. She says that when people come in, they look nervous and do not want to talk to others. However, after ten or fifteen minutes, their bodies relax and they start talking to the person next to them. The room is an experiment called “slow looking”. This is the opposite of how many people usually visit museums. Usually, we walk around quickly, trying to see everything, but we do not really see anything. A recent study showed that the average visitor spends less than 30 seconds looking at a painting. If they take a photo of it, they look for even less time. Thompson was inspired by Professor James O. Pawelski. He encourages museums to help improve the well-being (身心健康) of visitors. He says, “When we look at art slowly, it is not just about the art, it is about us. It gives us a chance to forget our busy lives and think about ourselves.” Susan McClements, a visitor aged 62, tried the room and said she understood the paintings better—even the ones she did not like. “You see the details, the colours, and how the paint was put on,” she said. “It gives you a completely different way of seeing.” The mindfulness room is only a short-term project, but Thompson hopes it will change how the gallery treats visitors in the future. She says museums can be tiring places because you walk and read so much. However, if they are designed well, they can be places of deep rest and quiet thought. 1．How many paintings are there in the small, dark green room? 2．How do visitors feel after spending fifteen minutes in the mindfulness room? 3．How long does an average visitor spend looking at a painting? 4．According to Professor James O. Pawelski, why should people look at art slowly? 5．The mindfulness room changed Susan McClements’s way of seeing things, didn’t it? 6．Would you like to spend time in the mindfulness room when visiting the museum? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Three. 2．They feel relaxed and start talking to the person next to them. 3．Less than 30 seconds. 4．Because it gives us a chance to forget our busy lives and think about ourselves. 5．Yes, it did. 6．Yes, I would. Because it can give me a chance to forget my busy life and think about myself. It can also help me understand the paintings better. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文主要介绍了曼彻斯特美术馆里的“正念房间”，包括房间的情况、设立目的、对参观者的影响以及博物馆顾问对此的期望等。 1．根据“Visitors stay here for a long time, often spending up to fifteen minutes looking at just three paintings.”可知，在这个小的深绿色房间里只有三幅画。故填Three. 2．根据“However, after ten or fifteen minutes, their bodies relax and they start talking to the person next to them.”可知，参观者在正念房间待了十五分钟后，他们的身体放松了，开始和旁边的人交谈。故填They feel relaxed and start talking to the person next to them. 3．根据“A recent study showed that the average visitor spends less than 30 seconds looking at a painting.”可知，平均每个参观者看一幅画的时间不到30秒。故填Less than 30 seconds. 4．根据“He says, ‘When we look at art slowly, it is not just about the art, it is about us. It gives us a chance to forget our busy lives and think about ourselves.’”可知，根据詹姆斯·O·帕维尔斯基教授的说法，人们应该慢慢地欣赏艺术是因为这给了我们一个忘记忙碌生活、思考自己的机会。故填Because it gives us a chance to forget our busy lives and think about ourselves. 5．根据“Susan McClements, a visitor aged 62, tried the room and said she understood the paintings better—even the ones she did not like. ‘You see the details, the colours, and how the paint was put on,’ she said. ‘It gives you a completely different way of seeing.’”可知，正念房间改变了苏珊·麦克莱门茨看待事物的方式，故填Yes, it did. 6．开放性问题，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I would.

Passage 11 （2026·上海长宁·一模）Atlantis is an ancient city lying beneath the waves of the sea. Does this sound like a fairy tale to you? Many people have tried but failed to find it. Michael from Germany thought he had. Let us learn some more about this city.How did we first learn about Atlantis? The Greek philosopher Plato mentioned Atlantis in great detail in some of his writings. He said that Atlantis was a city built on an island around 9000 years before his time. This city disappeared suddenly because of earthquakes and floods. Plato also gave 51 clues to the location of this city.Was Atlantis under the sea? Many explorers had been looking under the sea because of what Plato wrote about it. Michael came up with the idea that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean. He thought that Atlantis had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. That meant that it had been covered by water, but only for a short time. The strong force of the wave would have caused the end of the great city.________? Michael decided to look at all of Plato’s clues again. He used a computer program to enter all the information Plato wrote about, including the distance from Athens. The computer program would then search the world map for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael was able to find the place that he thought Atlantis might have been.Where did Michael think Atlantis had been? The computer program pointed to a place called the Souss-Massa plain on the Moroccan coast in Africa. Michael immediately boarded a plane and went to look for himself. When he got there, he was surprised to see many things that matched Plato’s description. Even though Michael believed he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about the neighbouring island destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC． Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. Either way, Michael believed Plato. He used his time and energy to prove to himself that Atlantis existed. 1．Many people have managed to find Atlantis, haven’t they? 2．Why did Atlantis disappear according to Plato? 3．What was Michael’s idea about Atlantis? 4．What question is probably asked in this blank? 5．Why didn’t many experts believe Plato? 6．Do you think Michael’s research method is scientific? Tell your reason (s). 【答案】1．No, they haven’t. 2．Because of earthquakes and floods. 3．He thought that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean and had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. 4．If it was only covered by water for a short time, where could it be now? 5．Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about the neighbouring island destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC and others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. 6．Yes, I think so. Because he used a computer program to enter all the information Plato wrote about, including the distance from Athens. The computer program would then search the world map for a place that matched all the clues. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了亚特兰蒂斯沉入大海的故事及科学家对其的新发现。 1．根据“Many people have tried but failed to find it.”可知，很多人尝试了，但是没有成功。故填No, they haven’t. 2．根据“This city disappeared suddenly because of earthquakes and floods.”可知，柏拉图认为是地震和洪水导致亚特兰蒂斯的消亡。故填Because of earthquakes and floods. 3．根据“Michael came up with the idea that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean. He thought that Atlantis had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. That meant that it had been covered by water, but only for a short time. The strong force of the wave would have caused the end of the great city.”可知，迈克尔的观点：亚特兰蒂斯不在海底，而是被海啸摧毁，只在短时间内被海水覆盖。故填He thought that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean and had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. 4．根据前文“Michael came up with the idea that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean.”及后文“He used a computer program to enter all the information Plato wrote about, including the distance from Athens. The computer program would then search the world map for a place that matched all the clues.”可知，前文迈克尔提出了一个新观点：亚特兰蒂斯不在海底，只是被海啸短暂淹没后就露出了海面。后文紧接着，写他开始用计算机程序重新分析柏拉图的所有线索，去寻找具体位置。空白须起到承上启下的作用，既要承接前面的新观点，又要引出后面的“寻找位置”的行动。因此可提出“如果它只被水覆盖了很短时间，那它现在可能在哪里？”故填If it was only covered by water for a short time, where could it be now? 5．根据“Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about the neighbouring island destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC. Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends.”可知，专家不相信的两个原因：一是认为柏拉图描述的是另一座因火山喷发毁灭的岛屿，二是认为他是根据传说编造的故事。故填Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about the neighbouring island destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC and others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. 6．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合自身理解，合理作答即可。故填Yes, I think so. Because he used a computer program to enter all the information Plato wrote about, including the distance from Athens. The computer program would then search the world map for a place that matched all the clues. Passage 12 （2026·上海静安·一模）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） Every year, Mayfield School holds a “Family Tradition Week”, where students share something from their culture. This year, Ms. Patel’s class chose a delicious idea: the Secret Recipe Project. Each student had to bring a family recipe—not the whole instructions, just a story about it.

When he read his story, the whole class said they could almost smell the soup. On Tuesday, Amina brought a special recipe for sweet rice her father learned from his grandparents. “It’s the taste of celebrations,” she said. By Wednesday, something interesting happened: students started noticing similarities. Many recipes came from moments of comfort—rainy days, holidays and family gatherings. For the final project, the class created a “Recipe Map”. They placed each recipe on a large world map based on where the family came from. The map was colourful and full of tiny illustrations (插图) of ingredients.

Passage 13 （2026·上海松江·一模）Ancient Tree-Planting: The Perfect Combination of Reality and Ideal Chinese people have a deep love for all things in the world, and trees are no exception, of course. Although the ancients didn’t have a fixed day to plant trees like the Tree-Planting Day we have now, the culture of planting trees has been there for thousands of years. Back then, it was always sunny and rainy around the Qingming Festival in spring, creating an ideal (理想的) environment for tree growth. The trees planted around this time always had a better survival rate and an advantage in growing. Therefore, the ancients gradually formed the custom of planting trees around this traditional Festival. There are thousands of kinds of trees. However, mulberry trees (桑树) and fruit trees were especially popular in ancient times. Silkworms (蚕) took mulberry leaves as their food. Silk was produced from the cocoons of the silkworms, and then skillfully made into silk cloth and traded between the east and west of the world. Needless to say, fruit trees were the ancients’ favorite. Li Heng, from the Three Kingdoms Period, left his future generations more than a thousand citrus trees (柑橘树), calling them “wooden servants”. Moreover, ancient Chinese culture saw trees as powerful symbols. Bamboo, for example, was highly respected for being hollow inside and growing straight upward. These features were seen as signs of a good heart and a strong character. These are the qualities the ancients looked for in kind and honest people. Similarly, pine trees (松树) were admired for staying green even in winter snow. Poets compared them to ________. Today, as we celebrate Tree-Planting Day, we continue to carry forward the tradition of planting trees. 1．Did ancient Chinese people celebrate the Tree-Planting Day? 2．When did ancient Chinese people plant trees? 3．Why did ancient Chinese people plant mulberry trees? 4．What does the phrase “wooden servants” in the third paragraph refer to? 5．What can be filled in the blank in the fourth paragraph? 6．How do you understand the title of the article? 【答案】1．No, they didn’t. 2．Around the Qingming Festival in spring. 3．Because silkworms took mulberry leaves as their food and silk was produced from the cocoons of the silkworms. 4．Citrus trees. 5．Brave people.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 6．The title means that ancient tree-planting not only considered practical factors like the ideal environment for tree growth but also embodied the ancients’ ideals and pursuits, such as promoting economic development and symbolizing good qualities through trees. 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国古代植树文化，包括古代是否有植树节、植树时间、种植桑树的原因、“木仆”的含义、对诗中空白处内容的推测以及对文章标题的理解。 1．根据“Although the ancients didn’t have a fixed day to plant trees like the Tree-Planting Day we have now”可知，古代中国人没有像我们现在这样的植树节来庆祝。故填No, they didn’t. 2．根据“Back then, it was always sunny and rainy around the Qingming Festival in spring, creating an ideal (理想的) environment for tree growth. The trees planted around this time always had a better survival rate and an advantage in growing. Therefore, the ancients gradually formed the custom of planting trees around this traditional Festival.”可知，古代中国人在春季清明节前后植树。故填Around the Qingming Festival in spring. 3．根据“Silkworms (蚕) took mulberry leaves as their food. Silk was produced from the cocoons of the silkworms, and then skillfully made into silk cloth and traded between the east and west of the world.”可知，古代中国人种桑树是因为蚕以桑叶为食，丝绸由蚕茧制成，然后巧妙地制成丝绸布，在世界东西方之间进行贸易。故填Because silkworms took mulberry leaves as their food and silk was produced from the cocoons of the silkworms. 4．根据“Needless to say, fruit trees were the ancients’ favorite. Li Heng, from the Three Kingdoms Period, left his future generations more than a thousand citrus trees (柑橘树), calling them ‘wooden servants’.”可知，“木仆”指的是柑橘树。故填Citrus trees. 5．根据“Similarly, pine trees (松树) were admired for staying green even in winter snow.”可知，松树即使在冬雪中也保持翠绿，令人钦佩，所以诗人常将它们比作勇敢的人或具有高尚品质的人。故填Brave people.（答案不唯一，合理即可） 6．文章标题“Ancient Tree-Planting: The Perfect Combination of Reality and Ideal”的意思是“古代植树：现实与理想的完美结合”。根据文章内容可知，古代植树既考虑了现实因素，如清明节前后的气候适宜树木生长，又体现了理想追求，如通过种植桑树和果树促进经济发展，通过树木象征美好的品质。故填The title means that ancient tree-planting not only considered practical factors like the ideal environment for tree growth but also embodied the ancients’ ideals and pursuits, such as promoting economic development and symbolizing good qualities through trees. Passage 14 （2026·上海嘉定·一模） That morning, Emma sat at the kitchen table while her parents made breakfast. “Can you taste this soup for me?” Her mother asked. “Is it too salty?” Her father took a small taste and said, “A little. Add just a tiny bit more water.” Emma watched them cook together. They didn’t argue. They just helped each other and changed the soup little by little until it smelled perfect. Emma enjoyed the soup and left for school. Later that day, ding-ling-ling! The bell rang, and school was finally out. Emma grabbed her backpack and rushed to the library for the Writing Club meeting. “Hello, everyone,” Miss Rosa said. “Today, you will share your stories with a critique partner. Who remembers what ‘critique’ means?” “It means giving helpful feedback,” Emma answered, “so someone can write better.” “Exactly” Miss Rosa said. “Let’s begin” Penny was Emma’s partner. Penny was always great at spelling and grammar. Emma felt nervous because she often made spelling mistakes, even though she had lots of good story ideas. Penny read her story first. It was about a stray (流浪) dog named Sunny who saved a family during a flood. Emma smiled. “Your story is exciting,” she said. “And your writing is very clean.” Penny looked down at her paper. “Thanks,” she said quietly. After the meeting, Penny packed her bag fast. A book fell out. Emma picked it up to help her. The title was A Dog Named Sunny. Emma opened it and read a few lines. The beginning sounded very similar to Penny’s story. Later, Emma saw Penny sitting alone on a bench. Emma sat down and spoke softly. “Penny, I saw your book. Some parts of your story sound like it. Did you use it?” Penny’s face turned red. “I… I did,” she whispered. “I didn’t know what to write. I only wanted ideas, but I think I copied too much.” Emma remembered what critique meant. She didn’t want to hurt Penny. “It’s okay,” Emma said. Suddenly, Emma thought about the soup that morning. “I think I have an idea to make our stories perfect.” Penny looked up with a big surprise. “What idea?” She asked. “________” Emma said with a smile. 1．Emma was a member of the Writing Club, wasn’t she? 2．What did Miss Rosa ask the club members to do in the meeting? 3．What made Emma feel nervous during the club meeting? 4．How did Emma describe Penny’s story and writing? 5．Why did Penny’s face turn red? 6．What is Emma’s idea? Fill in the blank with at least 2 sentences. 【答案】1．Yes, she was. 2．She asked them to share their stories with a critique partner. 3．She often made spelling mistakes. 4．She said Penny’s story was exciting and her writing was very clean. 5．Because she was ashamed/guilty that she copied her story from the book and Emma found it out. 6．We can rewrite the story together. We can change some details and add your own ideas to make it original. 【导语】本文主要讲述了Emma在写作俱乐部的经历。她观察父母合作制作汤品的过程，从中学会了如何给予建设性的反馈。当她发现伙伴Penny在写作中借鉴了一本书的内容时，她没有指责，而是想到了一个既能帮助Penny又能完善彼此故事的办法。 1．根据第四段中“Emma grabbed her backpack and rushed to the library for the Writing Club meeting.”可知，Emma是写作俱乐部的一员。故填Yes, she was. 2．根据第五段中“Today, you will share your stories with a critique partner.”可知，Rosa 老师让成员们与评论搭档分享他们的故事。故填She asked them to share their stories with a critique partner. 3．根据第九段中“Emma felt nervous because she often made spelling mistakes...” 可知，Emma感到紧张是因为她经常犯拼写错误。故填She often made spelling mistakes. 4．根据第十段中“Your story is exciting,” she said. “And your writing is very clean.” 可知，Emma认为Penny的故事很令人兴奋，写作很工整。故填She said Penny’s story was exciting and her writing was very clean. 5．根据倒数第四段和倒数第三段的内容可知，Penny脸红是因为Emma发现了那本书，并且Penny承认自己抄袭了太多内容，她为此感到羞愧。故填Because she was ashamed/guilty that she copied her story from the book and Emma found it out. 6．根据前文Emma父母通过加水让汤变完美，以及Emma不想伤害Penny并想“make our stories perfect”可知，Emma的主意应该是帮助Penny修改故事，加入原创内容。故填We can rewrite the story together. We can change some details and add your own ideas to make it original. Passage 15 （2026·上海徐汇·一模）Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) Does Using AI for Schoolwork Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves? A recent study has caused a debate about whether using AI for schoolwork harms students’ ability to think independently. Researchers divided 54 adults into 2 groups and asked them to write essays. One group used AI, and the other group relied only on their own minds. The results showed that AI users had lower brain activity and remembered little of what they wrote. This has led to concerns about how AI tools affect students’ thinking skills. Let’s hear two opinions on this issue. Yes. AI Harms Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves    By Jessie I agree with the findings of the study. For example, if a student uses AI to write an essay, they might not learn how to organize their thoughts or have ideas. The study showed that AI users produced “soulless” essays with similar phrases and no creativity. This is like copying answers from a friend’s homework. You might get a good grade, but you won’t truly understand the material. Moreover, students’ brains need to grow through practice and effort. Thinking skills improve when students work hard to solve problems. If they rely too much on AI, their brains might become lazy. No! AI Does Not Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves    By William I disagree with the idea that AI harms students’ thinking skills. In fact, it can be helpful if used correctly. For example, AI can help students brainstorm ideas or explain difficult concepts. This is like using a calculator for math. It helps with the hard parts, but students still need to think about the process. Besides, AI can save time. For example, instead of spending hours researching a topic, a student can use AI to find information in a flash and then spend more time analyzing it. This can actually improve their critical thinking skills because they have more time to study the material. The key is not to use AI as a replacement for thinking. Students can use AI to assist them while still building their own ideas. What do you think? Should students use AI for schoolwork, or should they rely only on their own minds? The answer might depend on __________. 1．What can we learn from the result of the recent study? (No more than 10 words.) We can learn that . 2．Do Jessie and William share the same opinion on the issue? 3．What are “soulless” essays like according to Jessie? 4．According to William, how can AI benefit students? Provide at least two examples from his opinion. 5．Based on both opinions, what is probably the real factor (因素) that decides how AI affects students’ thinking skills? Complete the last sentence. The answer might depend on . 6．Please explain why copying answers from a friend’s homework might lead to a good grade but not help you truly understand the material. Write at least two reasons. 【答案】1．AI users had lower brain activity and poor memory 2．No, they don’t. 3．They have similar phrases and no creativity. 4．①It can help students brainstorm ideas or explain difficult concepts. ②It can save time for students to analyze information. 5．how students use AI (whether they use it as a tool or a replacement for thinking) 6．①You don’t organize your own thoughts when copying, so you can’t master the material. ②You don’t practice solving problems by yourself, so you lack real understanding. 【导语】本文围绕“AI用于作业是否会损害学生独立思考能力”展开，介绍了一项相关研究及Jessie和William的不同观点。 1．根据“The results showed that AI users had lower brain activity and remembered little of what they wrote.”可知，研究结果显示AI使用者大脑活跃度更低且对所写内容记忆模糊。故填AI users had lower brain activity and poor memory。 2．根据Jessie的观点“Yes. AI Harms Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves”以及William的观点“No! AI Does Not Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves”可知Jessie认为AI损害学生思考能力，而William认为AI不会损害，两人观点不同。故填No, they don’t. 3．根据Jessie的描述“...produced ‘soulless’ essays with similar phrases and no creativity”可知，这类文章是短语雷同且缺乏创造力的。故填They have similar phrases and no creativity. 4．根据William的观点“AI can help students brainstorm ideas or explain difficult concepts.”和“AI can save time…This can actually improve their critical thinking skills because they have more time to study the material.”可知，AI 可以辅助头脑风暴、解释复杂概念还有节省时间，让学生有更多时间分析信息，从而提升批判性思维。故答案为：①It can help students brainstorm ideas or explain difficult concepts. ②It can save time for students to analyze information. 5．根据“两人观点的核心 (AI的使用方式)”可知，关键因素是“学生如何使用AI”。故填how students use AI (whether they use it as a tool or a replacement for thinking). 6．根据逻辑，抄作业得高分却不理解内容的原因包括：①You don’t organize your own thoughts when copying, so you can’t master the material. ②You don’t practice solving problems by yourself, so you lack real understanding. Passage 16 （2026·上海杨浦·一模）Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题） Amy 2 hours ago Hi everyone! I’ve always admired students who hand in their homework on time and never forget. Me, on the other hand... OK, I admit it—I’m not very good at getting myself organised! But lately, I've started keeping a small study diary. I write down what I need to do and when it needs to be finished. I also check it every day after school, just to make sure I haven’t missed anything. It’s really helping. So I’m wondering: What are your tips for getting organised? Leave a comment below. Let’s help each other study better!                                                            Hana 1 hour ago Good question, Amy! I spend about five minutes at the end of the day tidying up my school things. I put my books and papers into the right folders and throw away things I don’t need any more. Then it’s much easier to find my homework the next day. Reply                                                                         Amy50 mins ago Nice tip, Hana. Doing a little bit every day sounds like a good habit. Gloria 45 mins ago I think it’s important not to leave studying until the night before a test. I try to look over my notes after each lesson and do a little review during the week. That way, I feel calmer. Reply                                                                         Amy40 mins ago Thanks, Gloria! I agree—reviewing little by little really helps. Lou 25 mins ago Hi, Amy. I use a large noticeboard in my room. I divide it into sections for each subject and write down homework and deadlines. I check it every day. My favourite moment is crossing something off when it’s finished! Reply                                                                         Amy20 mins ago Great idea, Lou. I like the idea of crossing things off—it makes me feel organized too. 1．Was Lou the first to reply to the post? 2．What does Hana do at the end of each day? 3．According to Gloria, when should students review their notes? 4．How does Lou feel when he crosses things off after finishing his homework? 5．What does Amy mean by saying she is “not organised”? 6．What is one new tip you can offer Amy?
