The poem presents a mother who sews clothes for her son by hand. Bathed in candlelight, she also worries about his travel away from home. Meng’s description of the mother shows the composition of the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”. Found on oracle bones (甲骨) from over 3,000 years ago, it was made up of two characters. There was “火 (fire)” on top and “衣 (clothes)” below, with three dots (点) that look like stitches. The lower part was later replaced by “力 (strength)” and a form symbolizing a house appeared above. The Analytical Dictionary of Chinese Characters explains the form as “When a house is on fire, it takes hard work to put it out.” While the form of the character has been simplified, its meaning has expanded to refer to work, labor (劳动) or toil. It is also associated with feelings like fatigue (疲劳). Since ancient times, Chinese society has looked down upon those who sponge off others. In modern times, the idea that “labor is glorious (光荣的)” has taken root. People who work hard and make great contributions to their community or country are respected as model workers. Since the 1980s, “劳” has become one of the five key qualities that China’s education system seeks to cultivate in students, along with “德 (virtue)” “智 (intelligence)” “体 (physical fitmess)” and “美 (appreciation for beauty)”. Primary and middle school students typically have at least one hour of“labor class” each week for labor theory and skills. However, cognitive (认知的) labor and manual (体力的) labor are not always considered equal. As ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said, “Those who labor with their minds govern (统治), while those who labor with their strength are governed.” Throughout history, many Chinese writers have had pity on people who worked hard to survive as poor farmers. In his poem Watching the Wheat Harvest, famous poet Bai Juyi expressed his shame at taking hundreds of kilograms of grain every year as his pay without doing any farm work. No matter it is cognitive labor or manual labor, overwork can have serious results, which can cause illness or even death. To avoid such things, people are encouraged to achieve a balance between work and rest. 29．Which of the following is the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”? A． B． C． D． 30．What does the underlined phrase “sponge off” in Paragraph 3 mean in the passage? A．Laugh at. B．Learn from. C．Look after. D．Depend on. 31．What can you learn from the passage? A．The character “劳” meant fatigue in the very beginning. B．Bai Juyi governed the poor farmers without getting paid. C．Cognitive labor is considered to be equal to manual labor. D．Chinese students are expected to have the five key qualities. 32．The main purpose of this passage is to________. A．discuss the different types of labor in China B．explore the cultural meaning of labor in China C．introduce the history of the Chinese character “劳” D．compare ancient and modern Chinese literature works 【答案】29．B 30．D 31．D 32．B 【导语】本文从孟郊《游子吟》引入，介绍汉字“劳”的起源、演变及含义，讲述自古以来社会对劳动的看法，提到中国教育体系培养学生的五种关键品质中包含“劳”，还探讨了认知劳动和体力劳动的地位差异，呼吁人们平衡工作与休息。 29．细节理解题。根据“Found on oracle bones from over 3,000 years ago, it was made up of two characters. The upper part was ‘火 (fire)’ on top and ‘衣 (clothes)’ below, with three dots (点) that look like stitches.”可知，最早的“劳”字由“火”在上、“衣”在下以及类似针脚的三个点组成。故选B。 30．词句推测题。根据“Since ancient times, Chinese society has looked down upon those who...”可知，结合语境可知是古代社会看不起那些依赖他人、不劳而获的人，sponge off意思是“依赖；揩油”；D选项Depend on“依靠”符合。故选D。 31．细节理解题。根据“Since the 1980s, ‘劳’ has become one of the five key qualities that China’s education system seeks to cultivate in students”可知，中国学生被期望具备这五种关键品质。故选D。 32．主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章围绕汉字“劳”展开，介绍其含义、社会对劳动的看法等，主要目的是探索中国劳动的文化意义。故选B。 C Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis lived a happy life with their parents in London. Their father was always kind, and their mother often wrote stories and played with them. But one night, two gentlemen came to their home. After a long talk, their father left with them, and their mother looked pale and sad. Then they had to move to a small house in the countryside. After moving, they found the railway near their new home and soon enjoyed watching trains. One day, when the three children arrived at the tunnel, they looked up at the trees above it. “What’s happening?” Peter said, “Look at the trees. They are moving.” He was right. The trees were sliding down the hill. “It’s landslide, ” Roberta said, “There has been a lot of rain. The earth is soft. It is moving and bringing the trees with it.” “They are going to fall on the railway line,” Phyllis said, “There will be an accident if the train hits them. We must stop the next train.” “How do we do that?” Peter said, “The next train is arriving at 11:29. That’s in five minutes. And the train is only about fifteen kilometers away.” “We can run towards the train and wave to the driver.” Phyllis said. “He won’t think there is anything wrong,” Roberta said, “We always wave to him.” “We need something red to wave.” Peter said, “Red is for danger.” “My skirt is red,” Phyllis said, “I’ll tear pieces off.” “Mother will be angry if you do that,” Roberta said, “Skirts are expensive.” “People may die if there is an accident,” Peter said, “Skirts aren’t important.” Phyllis tore strips (条) from the bottom of her skirt. “We need sticks to tie the strips to,” Peter said. The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches. He tied each of the strips of red skirt to one of the branches. “Now we have red flags,” he said, “When we wave these, the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what is the matter.” The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. They had to wait for a long time. Peter thought the watch must be wrong, but it was the train that was late. Then, the train arrived. The children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted (晕). The engine driver saw the red flags and the children. He knew something was wrong. He stopped the train. Peter and Phyllis ran towards the engine. They shouted to the driver that there were trees on the line. The engine driver climbed down from his engine. He hurried to where Roberta was lying on the ground in a faint. He picked her up and carried her to the train and put her in a comfortable carriage. —Adapted from the Railway Children 33．Why did the children think they needed something red to wave at the train? A．Because red was their favourite colour. B．Because red was the colour of heat. C．Because they only had red things with them. D．Because red was a colour that could easily catch the driver’s eyes. 34．What’s the correct order of what happened in the story? ①The children noticed the moving trees. ②Phyllis tore strips from her red skirt ③The engine driver stopped the train. ④The children made red flags. ⑤The children thought there would be a train accident A．①⑤③②④ B．⑤①②④③ C．①⑤②④③ D．⑤①②③④ 35．What words can best describe the children?

At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 37．What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A．It depends on supercomputers. B．It requires large teams of experts. C．It predicts for longer periods of time. D．It works faster with less computing power. 38．What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A．It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B．It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C．It gathers data from different sources across the world. D．It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 39．What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A．It doesn’t need human effort. B．It is more expensive to use.

B When it comes to Chinese literature works about a mother’s love, few can compete with Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao’s poem Song of the Travelling Son. The poem presents a mother who sews clothes for her son by hand. Bathed in candlelight, she also worries about his travel away from home. Meng’s description of the mother shows the composition of the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”. Found on oracle bones (甲骨) from over 3,000 years ago, it was made up of two characters. There was “火 (fire)” on top and “衣 (clothes)” below, with three dots (点) that look like stitches. The lower part was later replaced by “力 (strength)” and a form symbolizing a house appeared above. The Analytical Dictionary of Chinese Characters explains the form as “When a house is on fire, it takes hard work to put it out.” While the form of the character has been simplified, its meaning has expanded to refer to work, labor (劳动) or toil. It is also associated with feelings like fatigue (疲劳). Since ancient times, Chinese society has looked down upon those who sponge off others. In modern times, the idea that “labor is glorious (光荣的)” has taken root. People who work hard and make great contributions to their community or country are respected as model workers. Since the 1980s, “劳” has become one of the five key qualities that China’s education system seeks to cultivate in students, along with “德 (virtue)” “智 (intelligence)” “体 (physical fitmess)” and “美 (appreciation for beauty)”. Primary and middle school students typically have at least one hour of“labor class” each week for labor theory and skills. However, cognitive (认知的) labor and manual (体力的) labor are not always considered equal. As ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said, “Those who labor with their minds govern (统治), while those who labor with their strength are governed.” Throughout history, many Chinese writers have had pity on people who worked hard to survive as poor farmers. In his poem Watching the Wheat Harvest, famous poet Bai Juyi expressed his shame at taking hundreds of kilograms of grain every year as his pay without doing any farm work. No matter it is cognitive labor or manual labor, overwork can have serious results, which can cause illness or even death. To avoid such things, people are encouraged to achieve a balance between work and rest. 29．Which of the following is the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”? A． B． C． D． 30．What does the underlined phrase “sponge off” in Paragraph 3 mean in the passage? A．Laugh at. B．Learn from. C．Look after. D．Depend on. 31．What can you learn from the passage? A．The character “劳” meant fatigue in the very beginning. B．Bai Juyi governed the poor farmers without getting paid. C．Cognitive labor is considered to be equal to manual labor. D．Chinese students are expected to have the five key qualities. 32．The main purpose of this passage is to________. A．discuss the different types of labor in China B．explore the cultural meaning of labor in China C．introduce the history of the Chinese character “劳” D．compare ancient and modern Chinese literature works C Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis lived a happy life with their parents in London. Their father was always kind, and their mother often wrote stories and played with them. But one night, two gentlemen came to their home. After a long talk, their father left with them, and their mother looked pale and sad. Then they had to move to a small house in the countryside. After moving, they found the railway near their new home and soon enjoyed watching trains. One day, when the three children arrived at the tunnel, they looked up at the trees above it. “What’s happening?” Peter said, “Look at the trees. They are moving.” He was right. The trees were sliding down the hill. “It’s landslide, ” Roberta said, “There has been a lot of rain. The earth is soft. It is moving and bringing the trees with it.” “They are going to fall on the railway line,” Phyllis said, “There will be an accident if the train hits them. We must stop the next train.” “How do we do that?” Peter said, “The next train is arriving at 11:29. That’s in five minutes. And the train is only about fifteen kilometers away.” “We can run towards the train and wave to the driver.” Phyllis said. “He won’t think there is anything wrong,” Roberta said, “We always wave to him.” “We need something red to wave.” Peter said, “Red is for danger.” “My skirt is red,” Phyllis said, “I’ll tear pieces off.” “Mother will be angry if you do that,” Roberta said, “Skirts are expensive.” “People may die if there is an accident,” Peter said, “Skirts aren’t important.” Phyllis tore strips (条) from the bottom of her skirt. “We need sticks to tie the strips to,” Peter said. The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches. He tied each of the strips of red skirt to one of the branches. “Now we have red flags,” he said, “When we wave these, the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what is the matter.” The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. They had to wait for a long time. Peter thought the watch must be wrong, but it was the train that was late. Then, the train arrived. The children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted (晕). The engine driver saw the red flags and the children. He knew something was wrong. He stopped the train. Peter and Phyllis ran towards the engine. They shouted to the driver that there were trees on the line. The engine driver climbed down from his engine. He hurried to where Roberta was lying on the ground in a faint. He picked her up and carried her to the train and put her in a comfortable carriage. —Adapted from the Railway Children 33．Why did the children think they needed something red to wave at the train? A．Because red was their favourite colour. B．Because red was the colour of heat. C．Because they only had red things with them. D．Because red was a colour that could easily catch the driver’s eyes. 34．What’s the correct order of what happened in the story? ①The children noticed the moving trees. ②Phyllis tore strips from her red skirt ③The engine driver stopped the train. ④The children made red flags. ⑤The children thought there would be a train accident A．①⑤③②④ B．⑤①②④③ C．①⑤②④③ D．⑤①②③④ 35．What words can best describe the children? A．Brave and clever. B．Generous but rude. C．Quiet and honest. D．Polite but careless. 36．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The story of how the children moved to the countryside. B．The children’s happy life in the countryside. C．The children’s adventure with the engine driver on the train. D．How the children stopped a train from having an accident. D A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 37．What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A．It depends on supercomputers. B．It requires large teams of experts. C．It predicts for longer periods of time. D．It works faster with less computing power. 38．What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A．It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B．It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C．It gathers data from different sources across the world. D．It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 39．What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A．It doesn’t need human effort. B．It is more expensive to use. C．It requires less data to work. D．It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts. 40．What is the purpose of the article? A．To describe weather forecasting history. B．To introduce a new AI weather model. C．To criticize traditional weather systems. D．To explain the role of supercomputers. 第二节: 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通顺连贯, 其中有两项是多余选项。 How to Have a Successful Teenage Life Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they?

In fact, the traditional Chinese fan is not just a t 46 for cooling down, but a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The history of Chinese fans goes back to the Shang Dynasty (about 1600B．C~1046 B．C). One of the e 47 fans was known as Shanhan (扇汗). It was a bit like today’s umbrella. It was tied to a carriage to keep people away from the strong sunshine and rainfall. Later, Shanhan d 48 into a long-handled fan called Zhangshan (障扇).

Later, bamboo fans and cattail-leaf fans (蒲扇) were invented during the Han Dynasty. B 50 were most popular among the common people during the Song Dynasty. Years later, the folding fan (折扇) was introduced. A 51 this kind of fan could be easily folded and carried, it soon became popular. But the best thing about a folding fan was the pictures on it. With famous people p 52 the fan, it could cost a lot of money. For example, a folding fan painted by Zhang Daqian was s 53 for $252, 000. Chinese fans have stood the test of history.

You can always be better, even if you’re already the best! This is the lesson we learn from Xu Yuanchong. He is the famous translator who passed away on June 17th, 2021, at the age of 100. Xu began to translate Chinese poetry into both English and French when he was still a teenager. He soon learned that Chinese and European languages were very different. Only about half of the words in these languages could be translated word-for-word. So Xu always emphasized that translators have to be creative. Xu also tried to improve his translations to make sure they are correct and beautiful. Xu’s motto is: Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better. Xu is considered to be the best, but that hasn’t stopped him from always trying to become better. Most of you are good at English or some other subjects. A few of you are even the best in your class. But all of you know that you can be better and that the more you learn and the harder you study, the better you will become. There is always room for improvement. 66．What is Xu Yuanchong? 67．When did Xu Yuanchong start to translate Chinese poetry? 68．What quality should translators have according to Xu Yuanchong? 69．According to the passage, what are Xu Yuanchong’s translations like? 70．What do you think of Xu Yuanchong? 七、书面表达（共1小题; 满分25分） 71．学校英语校刊正在举行主题为“Life skills for the future”的征文活动。哪些生活技能你认为很重要？你平时是如何做的？请从下图中选择两类技能写一篇英语短文进行投稿，也可自行补充其他生活技能。 要求： 2. 观点明确，语意连贯，层次清楚，书写规范。 3. 表达中不得提及真实姓名和校名等相关信息。 4. 词数90词左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 Life skills for the future Life skills are important for our future._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共10页） 试题 第4页（共10页） 试题 第1页（共10页） 试题 第2页（共10页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年中考第二次模拟考试（连云港专用） 英语·参考答案 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：120分） 一、单项选择（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分） 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B C B B A B B C D A 二、完形填空（共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分） 【答案】 11．A 12．B 13．D 14．C 15．A 16．D 17．D 18．B 19．C 20．B 21．C 22．A 23．A 24．D 25．C 三、阅读理解（共两节, 20小题; 每小题2分, 满分40分） 第一节: 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项。 A 【答案】26．B 27．D 28．B B 【答案】29．B 30．D 31．D 32．B C 【答案】33．D 34．C 35．A 36．D D 【答案】37．D 38．C 39．C 40．B 第二节: 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通顺连贯, 其中有两项是多余选项。 【答案】41．F 42．B 43．D 44．C 45．G 四、词汇运用（共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分） 【答案】 46．(t)ool 47．(e)arliest 48．(d)eveloped 49．(b)irds’ 50．(B)oth 51．(A)s 52．(p)ainting 53．(s)old 54．(i)n 55．(L)uckily 五、选词填空（共10小题; 每小题1分, 满分10分） 【答案】 56．correctly 57．would rather 58．a great deal of 59．industries 60．is invited 61．be absent from 62．had nothing to do with 63．nineties 64．as soon as 65．remain 六、阅读表达（共 5 小题; 每小题 2分, 满分10分） 【答案】66．A translator. 67．When he was a teenager. 68．Being creative. 69．Correct and beautiful. 70．He is creative. 七、书面表达（共1小题; 满分25分） 【答案】参考范文： Life skills for the future Life skills are important for our future.

B When it comes to Chinese literature works about a mother’s love, few can compete with Tang Dynasty poet Meng Jiao’s poem Song of the Travelling Son. The poem presents a mother who sews clothes for her son by hand. Bathed in candlelight, she also worries about his travel away from home. Meng’s description of the mother shows the composition of the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”. Found on oracle bones (甲骨) from over 3,000 years ago, it was made up of two characters. There was “火 (fire)” on top and “衣 (clothes)” below, with three dots (点) that look like stitches. The lower part was later replaced by “力 (strength)” and a form symbolizing a house appeared above. The Analytical Dictionary of Chinese Characters explains the form as “When a house is on fire, it takes hard work to put it out.” While the form of the character has been simplified, its meaning has expanded to refer to work, labor (劳动) or toil. It is also associated with feelings like fatigue (疲劳). Since ancient times, Chinese society has looked down upon those who sponge off others. In modern times, the idea that “labor is glorious (光荣的)” has taken root. People who work hard and make great contributions to their community or country are respected as model workers. Since the 1980s, “劳” has become one of the five key qualities that China’s education system seeks to cultivate in students, along with “德 (virtue)” “智 (intelligence)” “体 (physical fitmess)” and “美 (appreciation for beauty)”. Primary and middle school students typically have at least one hour of“labor class” each week for labor theory and skills. However, cognitive (认知的) labor and manual (体力的) labor are not always considered equal. As ancient Chinese philosopher Mencius said, “Those who labor with their minds govern (统治), while those who labor with their strength are governed.” Throughout history, many Chinese writers have had pity on people who worked hard to survive as poor farmers. In his poem Watching the Wheat Harvest, famous poet Bai Juyi expressed his shame at taking hundreds of kilograms of grain every year as his pay without doing any farm work. No matter it is cognitive labor or manual labor, overwork can have serious results, which can cause illness or even death. To avoid such things, people are encouraged to achieve a balance between work and rest. 29．Which of the following is the earliest form of the Chinese character “劳”? A． B． C． D． 30．What does the underlined phrase “sponge off” in Paragraph 3 mean in the passage? A．Laugh at. B．Learn from. C．Look after. D．Depend on. 31．What can you learn from the passage? A．The character “劳” meant fatigue in the very beginning. B．Bai Juyi governed the poor farmers without getting paid. C．Cognitive labor is considered to be equal to manual labor. D．Chinese students are expected to have the five key qualities. 32．The main purpose of this passage is to________. A．discuss the different types of labor in China B．explore the cultural meaning of labor in China C．introduce the history of the Chinese character “劳” D．compare ancient and modern Chinese literature works C Roberta, Peter, and Phyllis lived a happy life with their parents in London. Their father was always kind, and their mother often wrote stories and played with them. But one night, two gentlemen came to their home. After a long talk, their father left with them, and their mother looked pale and sad. Then they had to move to a small house in the countryside. After moving, they found the railway near their new home and soon enjoyed watching trains. One day, when the three children arrived at the tunnel, they looked up at the trees above it. “What’s happening?” Peter said, “Look at the trees. They are moving.” He was right. The trees were sliding down the hill. “It’s landslide, ” Roberta said, “There has been a lot of rain. The earth is soft. It is moving and bringing the trees with it.” “They are going to fall on the railway line,” Phyllis said, “There will be an accident if the train hits them. We must stop the next train.” “How do we do that?” Peter said, “The next train is arriving at 11:29. That’s in five minutes. And the train is only about fifteen kilometers away.” “We can run towards the train and wave to the driver.” Phyllis said. “He won’t think there is anything wrong,” Roberta said, “We always wave to him.” “We need something red to wave.” Peter said, “Red is for danger.” “My skirt is red,” Phyllis said, “I’ll tear pieces off.” “Mother will be angry if you do that,” Roberta said, “Skirts are expensive.” “People may die if there is an accident,” Peter said, “Skirts aren’t important.” Phyllis tore strips (条) from the bottom of her skirt. “We need sticks to tie the strips to,” Peter said. The children ran to a nearby tree. With his knife, Peter cut off three thin branches. He tied each of the strips of red skirt to one of the branches. “Now we have red flags,” he said, “When we wave these, the engine driver will know something is wrong. He will stop the train and ask us what is the matter.” The children ran through the tunnel and waited at the other side for the train to come. They had to wait for a long time. Peter thought the watch must be wrong, but it was the train that was late. Then, the train arrived. The children waved their flags. Roberta was so excited that she fainted (晕). The engine driver saw the red flags and the children. He knew something was wrong. He stopped the train. Peter and Phyllis ran towards the engine. They shouted to the driver that there were trees on the line. The engine driver climbed down from his engine. He hurried to where Roberta was lying on the ground in a faint. He picked her up and carried her to the train and put her in a comfortable carriage. —Adapted from the Railway Children 33．Why did the children think they needed something red to wave at the train?

D A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 37．What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A．It depends on supercomputers. B．It requires large teams of experts. C．It predicts for longer periods of time. D．It works faster with less computing power. 38．What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A．It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B．It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C．It gathers data from different sources across the world. D．It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 39．What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A．It doesn’t need human effort. B．It is more expensive to use. C．It requires less data to work. D．It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts. 40．What is the purpose of the article? A．To describe weather forecasting history. B．To introduce a new AI weather model. C．To criticize traditional weather systems. D．To explain the role of supercomputers. 第二节: 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项, 使短文通顺连贯, 其中有两项是多余选项。 How to Have a Successful Teenage Life Everyone wants to succeed in their life, don’t they?

You can always be better, even if you’re already the best! This is the lesson we learn from Xu Yuanchong. He is the famous translator who passed away on June 17th, 2021, at the age of 100. Xu began to translate Chinese poetry into both English and French when he was still a teenager. He soon learned that Chinese and European languages were very different. Only about half of the words in these languages could be translated word-for-word. So Xu always emphasized that translators have to be creative. Xu also tried to improve his translations to make sure they are correct and beautiful. Xu’s motto is: Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better. Xu is considered to be the best, but that hasn’t stopped him from always trying to become better. Most of you are good at English or some other subjects. A few of you are even the best in your class.
