一、阅读理解
A
(浙江杭州市2025-2026学年第一学期期末)For more than 30 years, Fang Beisong, an expert at repairing old objects at Jingzhou Museum, has worked to make ancient words on bamboo and wooden pieces readable again. These pieces are called jiandu.
One special moment came in 2015. While cleaning a bamboo piece from the Warring States Period, he found the words for “hold your hand and grow old with you”, a line from The Book of Songs. “I felt the light and warmth of our history and culture,” Fang recalled.
After finishing his studies in chemistry in 1988, Fang began working at the museum, using science for his love of history. He focuses on jiandu — things people wrote on before paper was used. In 2002, he faced a huge task — over 92,000 pieces from the Qin Dynasty were found in Hunan. He stayed in Changsha for nine years, working 12 hours a day to sort out and protect them.
Preserving jiandu is extremely difficult. They are made of natural materials and break down easily. Once unearthed, they quickly turn black in the air, making the writing unreadable. Fang’s repair work involves over 20 steps, with decoloring and dewatering being the most important. Decoloring brings back the original (原来的) color and keeps the words clear, while dewatering helps them leave the wet condition and stay steady for keeping. After years of trying, he found a good two-step way and won a national technology prize in 2019.
Each case is different. In 2020, his team worked on Han Dynasty bamboo pieces from a robbed tomb in Dingzhou. The pieces broke easily. They tried over 70 times to keep them together. Even though the writing was almost impossible to see, a special camera using infrared (红外线的) light showed the words clearly.
So far, Fang and his team have fixed over 100,000 pieces. “For things like these, once they are dug up, there’s only a short time to save them. I cannot stop — the faster I work, the more of our history I can save,” said Fang.
1.How did Fang feel when he saw the line from The Book of Songs?
A.Moved. B.Bored. C.Shocked. D.Confused.
2.What do we know about Fang’s work in Changsha after 2002?
A.He got a national award right after. B.He solved all preservation issues there.
C.He worked long hours to preserve jiandu. D.He went there to study Qin Dynasty history.
3.What does the underlined word “decoloring” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Washing the surface to remove dirt. B.Changing the color of jiandu.
C.Preventing jiandu from turning black. D.Recovering the true color.
4.What lesson can we learn from Fang’s story?
A.More haste, less speed. B.Time and tide wait for no man.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

(河北省衡水市衡水中学2025-2026学年度高一年级上学期综合素质评价)Alex de Minaur, an Australian professional tennis player, has impressed the tennis world with a beautiful act for his opponent (对手) after the Washington final. De Minaur saved three championship points to win the 10th ATP title of his career, defeating (战胜) Spanish player Alejandro DavidovichFokina.
Fokina was heartbroken after losing three championship points in the third set — the last one came when de Minaur made an amazing effort to survive. The Spaniard has never won a title at the ATP level, and has now lost in two finals.
Fokina cried after the final point and hid his face in his towel (毛巾). De Minaur noticed “his” opponent’s low spirits and at once went to comfort him.
The Aussie was seen sitting next to Fokina before resting an arm around him and offering some words of encouragement. Tennis fans were blown away by de Minaur’s act, which came before he’d celebrated the victory (胜利).
De Minaur also offered some kind words for Fokina in his victory speech, saying: “You’re way too good not to have one of these victories. It’s coming for sure. You deserved (值得) it today. I just got lucky. You are a great competitor and player. This is not the end.”
Davidovich Fokina also praised de Minaur, saying the Australian “deserved the win”. “He was fighting for every ball,” he added.
The beautiful moment between the pair made the tennis world fall in love with de Minaur even more. One person wrote online: “Hard not to feel for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina today and hard not to admire how kind this was of Alex de Minaur.” Another commented: “I have a newfound respect for Alex de Minaur after he comforted Fokina. He is a truly humble (谦逊的) man.”
5.What happened in the third set of the Washington final?
A.Fokina lost his lead with regret. B.One of the players got hurt badly.
C.De Minaur won the game dishonestly. D.The audience threw towels at the players.
6.What did de Minaur do right after the match?
A.He quickly celebrated his victory. B.He left without speaking to Fokina.
C.He comforted his opponent right away. D.He gave a speech to thank the audience.
7.What does the underlined phrase “blown away” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Worried and afraid. B.Angry and speechless.
C.Interested and curious. D.Surprised and impressed.
8.What can we learn from the text?
A.Victory and defeat are both lessons. B.Respect and care win true high regard.
C.Courage turns challenges into chances. D.Experience helps to encourage excellence.

(山东淄博市张店区淄博实验中学2025-2026学年度第一学期高一期未)Good social connections are related to better health, and a new research shows that regularly helping people outside one’s family can clearly slow down the decline in thinking ability among middle-aged and older adults.
Both organized volunteer work and informal helping are equally useful, according to a study led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin. This study is one of the first to compare organized volunteer work and informal helping. Informal helping, such as giving someone a ride or looking after children, was once thought to have fewer health benefits because it gets less social recognition. But the research found that it helps improve thinking ability just as much as organized volunteer work. Helping for 2 to 4 hours a week gives the strongest and most lasting benefits.
Long-term figures from the national Health and Retirement Study support these findings. After considering elements like money, physical health and mental health, continuing to help others still slows down the drop in thinking ability. The benefits grow when helping becomes a regular habit year after year. On the other hand, stopping helping others is connected to worse thinking ability.
The results show that everyday acts of support — whether organized or informal should be seen as public health issues. This is especially important for older people, who are more likely to face problems like poorer thinking ability and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). Other research by the same team found that volunteer work reduces the harmful effects of long-term stress on body inflammation (炎症) — a known cause of poorer thinking ability. This benefit is bigger for people with more inflammation.
In general, helping others is good for brain health. It reduces the physical tiredness caused by pressure and strengthens social connections. As more societies grow older and loneliness becomes a bigger problem, giving older people — even those who are not in the best health— chances to help others is valuable. These people may get great benefits from such opportunities.
9.What is true about informal helping?
A.Less social recognition. B.Fewer health benefits.
C.More effective than volunteering. D.Over four-hour service time.
10.What can be inferred about long-term regular helping?
A.It needs much money. B.It brings growing benefits.
C.It requires professional skills. D.It only suits healthy people.
11.Why is the research important for public health?
A.It solves aging problems. B.It lowers medical costs.
C.It improves social equality. D.It lowers the elderly’s health risks.
12.What does the last paragraph indicate?
A.Loneliness hits the old most. B.Helping others benefits social ties.
C.Health determines helping ability. D.Brain health is a top health need.

2. Give one simple example to show how you practice good morals in your daily life.

三、思维提升-书面表达

一、阅读理解
A
(浙江杭州市2025-2026学年第一学期期末)For more than 30 years, Fang Beisong, an expert at repairing old objects at Jingzhou Museum, has worked to make ancient words on bamboo and wooden pieces readable again. These pieces are called jiandu.
One special moment came in 2015. While cleaning a bamboo piece from the Warring States Period, he found the words for “hold your hand and grow old with you”, a line from The Book of Songs. “I felt the light and warmth of our history and culture,” Fang recalled.
After finishing his studies in chemistry in 1988, Fang began working at the museum, using science for his love of history. He focuses on jiandu — things people wrote on before paper was used. In 2002, he faced a huge task — over 92,000 pieces from the Qin Dynasty were found in Hunan. He stayed in Changsha for nine years, working 12 hours a day to sort out and protect them.
Preserving jiandu is extremely difficult. They are made of natural materials and break down easily. Once unearthed, they quickly turn black in the air, making the writing unreadable. Fang’s repair work involves over 20 steps, with decoloring and dewatering being the most important. Decoloring brings back the original (原来的) color and keeps the words clear, while dewatering helps them leave the wet condition and stay steady for keeping. After years of trying, he found a good two-step way and won a national technology prize in 2019.
Each case is different. In 2020, his team worked on Han Dynasty bamboo pieces from a robbed tomb in Dingzhou. The pieces broke easily. They tried over 70 times to keep them together. Even though the writing was almost impossible to see, a special camera using infrared (红外线的) light showed the words clearly.
So far, Fang and his team have fixed over 100,000 pieces. “For things like these, once they are dug up, there’s only a short time to save them. I cannot stop — the faster I work, the more of our history I can save,” said Fang.
1.How did Fang feel when he saw the line from The Book of Songs?
A.Moved. B.Bored. C.Shocked. D.Confused.
2.What do we know about Fang’s work in Changsha after 2002?
A.He got a national award right after. B.He solved all preservation issues there.
C.He worked long hours to preserve jiandu. D.He went there to study Qin Dynasty history.
3.What does the underlined word “decoloring” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Washing the surface to remove dirt. B.Changing the color of jiandu.
C.Preventing jiandu from turning black. D.Recovering the true color.
4.What lesson can we learn from Fang’s story?
A.More haste, less speed. B.Time and tide wait for no man.
C.Actions speak louder than words. D.Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍荆州博物馆简牍修复专家方北松三十余年坚守岗位,以科学方法攻克修复难题,抢救逾十万枚简牍、守护历史文化的事迹。
1.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“While cleaning a bamboo piece from the Warring States Period, he found the words for “hold your hand and grow old with you”, a line from The Book of Songs. “I felt the light and warmth of our history and culture,” Fang recalled.(在清理一枚战国时期的竹简时,他发现了《诗经》中“执子之手,与子偕老”的文字。方北松回忆道:“我感受到了我们历史文化的光芒与温暖。”)”可知,方北松看到这句诗经中的文字时,感受到了历史文化的光芒与温暖,内心受到了触动。故选A项。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In 2002, he faced a huge task — over 92,000 pieces from the Qin Dynasty were found in Hunan. He stayed in Changsha for nine years, working 12 hours a day to sort out and protect them. (2002年,他迎来了一项艰巨的任务——湖南出土了九万两千多枚秦代简牍。他在长沙待了九年,每天工作十二个小时,对这些简牍进行整理和保护。)”可知,2002年后方北松在长沙为了整理和保护秦代简牍,度过了九年每天十二小时的工作时光。故选C项。
3.词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Fang’s repair work involves over 20 steps, with decoloring and dewatering being the most important. Decoloring brings back the original (原来的) color and keeps the words clear, while dewatering helps them leave the wet condition and stay steady for keeping.(方北松的修复工作包含二十多个步骤,其中decoloring和脱水是最为重要的。Decoloring能恢复简牍原本的颜色,让文字保持清晰,而脱水能让简牍脱离潮湿状态,保持稳定以便保存。)”可知,简牍出土后会变黑,而decoloring是修复的关键步骤,且该步骤的作用是让简牍恢复原本的颜色、让文字清晰,结合“de-”的前缀含义及上下文的修复背景可知,该词的意思是“恢复事物的真实原本颜色”。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Preserving jiandu is extremely difficult. They are made of natural materials and break down easily. Once unearthed, they quickly turn black in the air, making the writing unreadable.(简牍的保护工作难度极大。它们由天然材料制成,极易损坏。一旦出土,在空气中会迅速变黑,导致文字无法辨认。)”和“After years of trying, he found a good two-step way and won a national technology prize in 2019.(经过多年的尝试,他研究出了一套有效的两步法修复方案,并在2019年获得了国家技术奖项。)”、第五段中的“In 2020, his team worked on Han Dynasty bamboo pieces from a robbed tomb in Dingzhou. The pieces broke easily. They tried over 70 times to keep them together.(2020年,他的团队修复定州一座被盗古墓出土的汉代竹简,这些竹简极易破碎,团队尝试了七十多次才将其拼接完整。)”以及第六段中的“So far, Fang and his team have fixed over 100,000 pieces.(到目前为止,方北松和他的团队已经修复了逾十万枚简牍。)”可知,方北松面对简牍修复的重重难题,始终坚持、反复尝试,最终攻克难关并取得丰硕成果,这印证了“有志者事竟成”的道理。故选D项。

(河北省衡水市衡水中学2025-2026学年度高一年级上学期综合素质评价)Alex de Minaur, an Australian professional tennis player, has impressed the tennis world with a beautiful act for his opponent (对手) after the Washington final. De Minaur saved three championship points to win the 10th ATP title of his career, defeating (战胜) Spanish player Alejandro DavidovichFokina.
Fokina was heartbroken after losing three championship points in the third set — the last one came when de Minaur made an amazing effort to survive. The Spaniard has never won a title at the ATP level, and has now lost in two finals.
Fokina cried after the final point and hid his face in his towel (毛巾). De Minaur noticed “his” opponent’s low spirits and at once went to comfort him.
The Aussie was seen sitting next to Fokina before resting an arm around him and offering some words of encouragement. Tennis fans were blown away by de Minaur’s act, which came before he’d celebrated the victory (胜利).
De Minaur also offered some kind words for Fokina in his victory speech, saying: “You’re way too good not to have one of these victories. It’s coming for sure. You deserved (值得) it today. I just got lucky. You are a great competitor and player. This is not the end.”
Davidovich Fokina also praised de Minaur, saying the Australian “deserved the win”. “He was fighting for every ball,” he added.
The beautiful moment between the pair made the tennis world fall in love with de Minaur even more. One person wrote online: “Hard not to feel for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina today and hard not to admire how kind this was of Alex de Minaur.” Another commented: “I have a newfound respect for Alex de Minaur after he comforted Fokina. He is a truly humble (谦逊的) man.”

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了澳网选手德米纳尔在华盛顿决赛险胜福基纳后,先安慰失落的对手还在致辞中鼓励他,其善举获对手称赞和球迷的高度敬佩与喜爱。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段“Fokina was heartbroken after losing three championship points in the third set — the last one came when de Minaur made an amazing effort to survive. The Spaniard has never won a title at the ATP level, and has now lost in two finals.(福基纳在第三盘比赛中损失了三个冠军点,这让他非常伤心——最后一分是在德米纳尔奋力拼搏后才得以保住的。这位西班牙选手从未在ATP赛事中赢得过冠军,如今他已经连续两次在决赛中失利)”可知,华盛顿决赛第三局,福基纳遗憾地失去了领先优势。故选A。
6.细节理解题。根据第三段“De Minaur noticed “his” opponent’s low spirits and at once went to comfort him.(德米纳尔察觉到“他的”对手情绪低落,于是立刻前去安慰他)”可知,比赛结束后德米纳尔立刻安慰了对手。故选C。
7.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The Aussie was seen sitting next to Fokina before resting an arm around him and offering some words of encouragement.(只见这位澳大利亚选手坐在福基纳身旁,随后他伸出一只胳膊搂住他,并给了他一些鼓励的话语)”以及后文“which came before he’d celebrated the victory(这一幕发生在他庆祝胜利之前)”可知,德米纳尔未先庆祝胜利,反而第一时间安慰落败的对手,这一暖心举动超出球迷预期,结合后文球迷对其的夸赞与敬佩,故划线词意思是“令人惊讶且印象深刻”。故选D。
8.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The beautiful moment between the pair made the tennis world fall in love with de Minaur even more. One person wrote online: “Hard not to feel for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina today and hard not to admire how kind this was of Alex de Minaur.” Another commented: “I have a newfound respect for Alex de Minaur after he comforted Fokina. He is a truly humble (谦逊的) man.”(两人之间这暖心的瞬间,让整个网坛更加喜爱德米纳尔。有人在网上写道:“今日实在忍不住为亚历杭德罗・达维多维奇・福基纳感到惋惜,也不由得敬佩亚历克斯・德米纳尔的这份善良。” 还有人评论道:“德米纳尔安慰福基纳的举动,让我对他生出了新的敬意。他是个真正谦逊的人。”)”可知,故事告诉我们尊重和关爱赢得真正的高度尊重。故选B。

(山东淄博市张店区淄博实验中学2025-2026学年度第一学期高一期未)Good social connections are related to better health, and a new research shows that regularly helping people outside one’s family can clearly slow down the decline in thinking ability among middle-aged and older adults.
Both organized volunteer work and informal helping are equally useful, according to a study led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin. This study is one of the first to compare organized volunteer work and informal helping. Informal helping, such as giving someone a ride or looking after children, was once thought to have fewer health benefits because it gets less social recognition. But the research found that it helps improve thinking ability just as much as organized volunteer work. Helping for 2 to 4 hours a week gives the strongest and most lasting benefits.
Long-term figures from the national Health and Retirement Study support these findings. After considering elements like money, physical health and mental health, continuing to help others still slows down the drop in thinking ability. The benefits grow when helping becomes a regular habit year after year. On the other hand, stopping helping others is connected to worse thinking ability.
The results show that everyday acts of support — whether organized or informal should be seen as public health issues. This is especially important for older people, who are more likely to face problems like poorer thinking ability and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症). Other research by the same team found that volunteer work reduces the harmful effects of long-term stress on body inflammation (炎症) — a known cause of poorer thinking ability. This benefit is bigger for people with more inflammation.
In general, helping others is good for brain health. It reduces the physical tiredness caused by pressure and strengthens social connections. As more societies grow older and loneliness becomes a bigger problem, giving older people — even those who are not in the best health— chances to help others is valuable. These people may get great benefits from such opportunities.
9.What is true about informal helping?
A.Less social recognition. B.Fewer health benefits.
C.More effective than volunteering. D.Over four-hour service time.
10.What can be inferred about long-term regular helping?
A.It needs much money. B.It brings growing benefits.
C.It requires professional skills. D.It only suits healthy people.
11.Why is the research important for public health?
A.It solves aging problems. B.It lowers medical costs.
C.It improves social equality. D.It lowers the elderly’s health risks.
12.What does the last paragraph indicate?
A.Loneliness hits the old most. B.Helping others benefits social ties.
C.Health determines helping ability. D.Brain health is a top health need.
【答案】9.A 10.B 11.D 12.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了帮助他人对中老年人思维能力的积极影响及对公共卫生的意义。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Informal helping, such as giving someone a ride or looking after children, was once thought to have fewer health benefits because it gets less social recognition.(非正式帮助,比如载别人一程或照看孩子,曾被认为对健康益处较少,因为它获得的社会认可更少。)”可知,非正式帮助得到的社会认可更少。故选A。
10.推理判断题。根据第三段中“The benefits grow when helping becomes a regular habit year after year.(当帮助他人年复一年成为一种习惯性行为时,益处会不断增加。)”可知,长期定期帮助他人带来的益处会不断增长。故选B。
11.推理判断题。根据第四段中“This is especially important for older people, who are more likely to face problems like poorer thinking ability and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症).(这对老年人尤其重要,他们更有可能面临认知能力下降和阿尔茨海默病等问题。)”可知,这项研究能降低老年人的健康风险,因此对公共卫生很重要。故选D。
12.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It reduces the physical tiredness caused by pressure and strengthens social connections.(它减轻了压力带来的身体疲劳,并加强了社会联系。)”可知,帮助他人有利于社会关系。故选B。

Dear Peter,
I’m writing to sincerely invite you to take part in our online sharing session themed “MORALS AND VIRTUES”.
The purpose of this activity is to help all of us understand the importance of virtues and learn to practice them in daily life. It can not only help us become more responsible and kind but also build a warm and friendly atmosphere. The session will start at 7 pm this Sunday: first, our teacher will give a short talk about the meaning of common virtues like honesty and kindness; then, students will share their own stories of practicing virtues.
I hope you can join us and share your views on morals and virtues. It will be a meaningful experience for both of us.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Li Hua
