They used to read The Guardian, but changed to electronic (电子的) newspapers many years ago. Frank first reads some news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars. Then they turn to sports news. As they watch the screen, Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them. Then Frank disappears into another room to join a video meeting with his business partners around the world. Frank is a computer engineer. Mary is still in their bedroom. She picks up the video phone to talk to her assistant (助理). Mary also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have office jobs in London, but in 2040 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home. Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2035 because there was no longer any need for them: the Internet had made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They share many things online. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to be at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades (十年) and then spend her time studying music and painting. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．The Guardian is probably ________. A．science fiction B．a magazine C．a book D．a newspaper 2．Frank reads news about ________ first. A．travel B．space C．music D．sports 3．How many people are there in the family? A．Five. B．Four. C．Three. D．Two. 4．Which of the following is TRUE about Louise? A．She doesn’t often go to school. B．She doesn’t have any Chinese friends. C．She wants to work from home in the future.

A．China plays a very important part in the world B．there are some classrooms in schools C．more people work in offices D．people don’t enjoy their life 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文主要设想2050年Frank、Mary Smith以及他们的女儿将要经历的工作、学习和生活状态。 1．根据第一段“They used to read The Guardian, but changed to electronic (电子的) newspapers many years ago.”可知，《卫报》很可能是一份报纸。 2．根据第二段“Frank first reads some news about space”可知，Frank首先读了一些关于太空的新闻。 3．根据第四段“Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise.”可知，这个家庭有Frank、Mary和他们的女儿Louise，共三人。 4．根据第四段“She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students.”可知，Louise不经常去上学。 5．根据倒数第二段“Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English.”可知，在2050年，中文和英语一样成为重要的世界语言，说明中国在世界上扮演着非常重要的角色。 One early morning on the weekend, I decided to learn how to make jiaozi from my grandmother. I thought it would be fun and easy at the very beginning, but soon it came to me that it wasn’t as simple as it looked. At first, I didn’t pay attention to the keen-edged knife while cutting vegetables. My finger got cut because of my carelessness. Luckily, it wasn’t serious. Grandma was nervous and quickly helped me clean the cut. “My poor little girl! Be careful next time!” said Grandma softly. Through the painful lesson, I learned that safety should always come first. After that accident, I continued working with Grandma. We made the dough (面团), mixed the filling and started shaping the dumplings. However, I kept making mistakes. Some of my dumplings were too thick, others were not properly sealed (封闭) and some even had too much filling, making them difficult to close. It was so disappointing, but Grandma kept encouraging me. By noon, at about ten to twelve, I finished making a plate of dumplings—some were perfect and some were a bit messy. Dad ate my ugliest dumpling first. “Tastes better than it looks!” he laughed. Mum encouraged me, “They’re the most delicious dumplings I have ever had. I am so proud of you!” Now I understand that making jiaozi isn’t just about the final product; it is about learning patience, having fun with my family, and improving through mistakes. Mistakes aren’t signs of weakness. Instead, they should be viewed (看待) as stepping stones to achievements. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What did the writer think of making jiaozi at the very beginning? A．Fun and easy. B．Fun but difficult. C．Boring and hard. D．Simple but boring. 2．Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “keen-edged”? A．large B．sharp C．colourful D．expensive 3．When did the writer finish making a plate of jiaozi? A．At 10: 50 a. m. B．At 11: 10 a. m. C．At 11: 50 a. m. D．At 1: 00 p. m. 4．How did the writer’s Mum’s words sound? A．Surprising. B．Worrying. C．Encouraging. D．Disappointing. 5．What does the text mainly tell us? A．Never too old to learn. B．Practice makes perfect. C．We should learn to make food by ourselves. D．We should improve ourselves through mistakes. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在周末早上向祖母学习包饺子的经历，从一开始觉得有趣容易，到过程中出现各种失误，最后在家人鼓励下完成并明白了从错误中提升自己的道理。 1．第一段指出：“I thought it would be fun and easy at the very beginning”，这直接说明作者一开始认为包饺子有趣且容易。 2．根据第二段“My finger got cut because of my carelessness.”可知作者手指被割伤，结合常识可知是因为刀很锋利，所以“keen-edged”意思是锋利的，与“sharp”意思相近。 3．最后一段提到：“By noon, at about ten to twelve, I finished making a plate of dumplings”，中午十一点五十即“At 11: 50 a. m.”，这直接说明作者在上午11点50分完成了一盘饺子的制作。 4．第四段提到：“Mum encouraged me, ‘They’re the most delicious dumplings I have ever had. I am so proud of you!’”，这直接说明妈妈的话是鼓励作者的。 5．最后一段指出：“Now I understand that...Mistakes aren’t signs of weakness. Instead, they should be viewed (看待) as stepping stones to achievements.”，这直接说明文章主要告诉我们应该从错误中提升自己。 Can you remember the last time you used a paper map to find your way? Not on a phone, but a real paper map? For me, it feels like a lifetime ago. It was the summer of 2008. My family and I were on a road trip to visit my grandparents who lived in a small village. My father was driving, and I was the “map reader”, holding a big, colorful map. I felt so important! Back then, we didn’t have a smartphone with GPS. About halfway, we entered a place with many small roads. Suddenly, my father wasn’t sure if we had taken the correct turn. We pulled over (停车) by the side of the road. I carefully spread the map out and the wind tried to blow it away. Together, we looked for things like rivers and railway tracks. Finally, we found our mistake and got back on the right road. That paper map saved our trip! Nowadays, that old map is no longer in our car. It sits in a drawer at home. We now rely on digital maps that talk to us. It’s very convenient, but somehow less of an adventure (历险). Recently, I took the old map out of the drawer. I didn’t need it for directions. Instead, I put it on my bedroom wall. I marked all the places I have visited and dream of visiting one day. It has become a piece of art full of memories and dreams. So, if I ever get lost on a road trip again, I probably won’t use that paper map. My phone will guide me quickly. But that old map still helps me in another way—it inspires me to explore more and remember the pleasure we had finding our way together. 1．What was the author doing while his father was driving in Paragraph 2? A．Calling his grandparents. B．Learning to read maps. C．Playing games on his phone. D．Helping show the way. 2．What did they do right after spreading the map out? A．They pulled over by the road. B．They looked for things like rivers. C．They got back on the right road. D．They drove on without stopping. 3．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The drawer. B．The old map. C．The bedroom wall. D．The digital map. 4．What is the old map used as now? A．A work of art. B．A time-saving guide. C．A trip-plan tool. D．A teaching tool. 5．How does the author feel about using paper maps? A．Comfortable. B．Convenient. C．Fun. D．Bored. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过回忆2008年家庭公路旅行中使用纸质地图的经历，对比了纸质地图与数字地图的不同体验，并表达了对纸质地图所承载的回忆和冒险精神的珍视。 1．第二段提到“My father was driving, and I was the ‘map reader’, holding a big, colorful map.”，说明作者在父亲开车时负责看地图指路。 2．第三段提到“I carefully spread the map out... Together, we looked for things like rivers and railway tracks.”，说明他们展开地图后一起寻找河流、铁轨等地标来确认路线。 3．第四段提到“that old map is no longer in our car. It sits in a drawer at home.”，这里的“It”指代前一句提到的“that old map”。 4．第五段提到“I put it on my bedroom wall... It has become a piece of art full of memories and dreams.”，说明旧地图现在被用作艺术品挂在墙上。 5．从作者描述担任“地图阅读者”时的骄傲感、一起寻找路线的冒险经历，以及将地图作为艺术品珍藏的行为，可以看出作者对使用纸质地图的感受是“有趣”。 When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental (精神的) health problems. When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA．But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn’t like the doctors’ white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams because he was too different. But Adams believed that people in hospital needed more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital and often dressed up as a clown (小丑) to make the children laugh. When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital called “The Gesundheit Institute” , together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people. Hunter Adams became famous during the1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film (called Patch Adams) , Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, “Adams is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him.” 1．When did Adams have mental health problems? A．During the 1980s. B．When he was a teenage boy. C．After the film came out. D．After he left medical school. 2．Why did the doctors at the medical school dislike Adams? A．Because he was a warm person. B．Because he was a clown. C．Because he wasn’t the same as others. D．Because he had mental health problems. 3．The Gesundheit Institute ________. A．was a hospital B．could make films C．belonged to Universal Pictures D．was a medical school 4．According to the passage, which statement is Not True? A．Robin Williams was an actor. B．In Adams’s opinion, patients needed more than medicine. C．Adams wore shirts instead of white uniforms when visiting patients. D．Robin Williams believed that patients needed a doctor who was a friend. 5．The passage mainly tells us about________. A．a film about Adams B．how to cheer up patients C．people with mental health problems D．a doctor named Hunter Adams 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Hunter Adams的人生经历。他青少年时期患有精神健康问题，在医院度过多年后决定成为医生。他在医学院时行为与众不同，毕业后开了自己的医院，认为病人不仅需要药物，还需要关爱。20世纪80年代他成名，1998年环球影业将他的生平拍成电影。 1．第一段明确提到“When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental (精神的) health problems”，这直接说明Adams在青少年时期患有精神健康问题。 2．第二段提到“The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams because he was too different”，说明医学院的医生不喜欢Adams是因为他与众不同，与其他人不一样。 3．第三段提到“When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital called ‘The Gesundheit Institute’”，说明“The Gesundheit Institute”是Adams开的一家医院。 4．最后一段提到“Williams said, ‘Adams is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him.’”，这是Robin Williams对Adams的评价，并非Robin Williams自己的观点，所以D选项“Robin Williams believed that patients needed a doctor who was a friend”表述错误。 5．文章围绕Hunter Adams展开，讲述了他的经历、理念等，所以文章主要是关于一位名叫Hunter Adams的医生。 I asked my dad if I had ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry. “There was once,” he said. He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value most when he or she grows up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be an intelligent person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot. My father was doing it because he was curious (好奇的). It was interesting for him to see which one I would pick. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. Tears (眼泪) came to his eyes. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices. And that was the first and only time I made him cry. 1．How many choices did the father prepare? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 2．According to the tradition, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be ________. A．rich B．intelligent C．humorous D．successful 3．Which one did the writer finally pick? A．The father. B．The pen. C．The money. D．The toy. 4．The father felt ________ after the writer pushed everything aside and went into his arm. A．curious B．nervous C．relaxed D．moved 5．Which of the following could be the best title for this passage? A．A father’s warm hug B．Joyful tears for an old tradition C．Different choices of a father D．A tradition for a kid’s first birthday 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是记叙文，主要讲述作者一岁时抓周，没有选择钢笔、钱或玩具，而是扑进父亲怀里，这是第一次也是唯一一次让父亲落泪的故事。 1．第三段第一句“...he put a pen, a piece of paper money and a toy in front of me.”，父亲准备了钢笔、纸币、玩具这三样物品供选择，所以是“三个”选择。 2．第三段“For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be an intelligent person in the future.”，如果孩子选择钢笔，意味着将来会是“聪明的”人。 3．倒数第二段第二句“Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms.”，作者推开了所有物品，直接扑进父亲怀里，所以最终选择了“父亲”。 4．倒数第二段第三句“Tears (眼泪) came to his eyes.”，父亲因为作者的举动流下了眼泪，这是被“感动”的表现。 5．本文讲述了一个传统抓周习俗的故事。作者一岁抓周时没有选物品，而是选择父亲，让父亲流下喜悦的泪水。所以选项B“为一项古老的传统流下欢乐的泪水”为最佳标题。 提升培优限时练5篇，建议用时25分钟，实际用时 分钟 Things to prepare: Some soybean seeds (种子), a pot with soil, a notebook and a camera to record the process.

Tao dug a hole in his backyard, placed the seed inside, and watered it carefully. Weeks passed, and nothing happened. Tao grew impatient, forgetting to water it sometimes. But his grandfather reminded him, “Trust the process (过程).” Another month went by, still no sprout (新芽). Tao almost gave up, but one morning, a tiny green shoot pushed through the soil. In the next six weeks, that shoot grew into a 10-meter-tall bamboo. Tao was shocked. His grandfather explained, “Bamboo spends five years growing roots underground, so it can shoot up quickly when the time comes.” That day, Tao learned that patience isn’t about waiting and doing nothing, but about keeping going even when you don’t see results. Now, whenever Tao faces a tough exam or a difficult painting, he thinks of the bamboo. He knows that every effort, even the unseen ones, is building a strong foundation (基础) for success. 1．What did Tao get from his grandfather? A．A bamboo shoot. B．A small bamboo seed. C．A painting.

B．Patience means waiting without doing anything. C．Giving up is sometimes the best choice. D．Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本篇短文主要讲述了Tao种竹子的经历，告诉我们：耐心不是消极等待，而是在看不见成果时依然持续努力，那些默默付出的努力，最终会为成功打下坚实的基础。 1．文章第一句提到“When 15-year-old Tao received a small bamboo seed from his grandfather...”，说明陶从祖父那里得到的是一颗小竹子种子。 2．文中提到“Weeks passed, and nothing happened... Another month went by, still no sprout. Tao almost gave up”，因为长时间没有发芽，陶几乎要放弃了。 3．文中明确说明“In the next six weeks, that shoot grew into a 10-meter-tall bamboo”，即六周后竹子长到了10米高。 4．最后一段提到“Now, whenever Tao faces a tough exam or a difficult painting, he thinks of the bamboo”，说明陶在面对困难任务（如难的考试、难画的画）时会想起竹子。 5．文章最后一句“He knows that every effort, even the unseen ones, is building a strong foundation for success”，对应选项A“看不见的努力能打下坚实的基础”；选项B错误，因为文中说耐心不是无所事事地等待，而是在看不到结果时继续坚持。 Lily’s aunt, Clara, was an ocean scientist.

In her dream, she was no longer in a car but in a small submarine deep under the sea. Through the window , she saw shining jellyfish and old shipwrecks (沉船). Lily was using a robotic arm to pick up a special seashell from the ocean floor. She felt a little afraid, but she kept trying. Finally, she got it. A feeling of happiness filled her heart.

Mia loved singing but was too shy to perform alone. Tom played the guitar well but hated being the focus. I could dance but felt lost without a team. “Why not form a band?” Mia suggested. “We need a song that we can perform together and fits all of us.” We searched for days and finally found Counting Stars—a song that had a nice sound Mia could sing, simple guitar parts Tom could play, and a rhythm (节拍) I could dance to. At first, everything went wrong. Mia’s voice shook when we practiced, Tom made mistakes with the guitar, and my dance moves didn’t match the music. We almost gave up, but the song’s lyrics, which talked about chasing dreams without fear, made us try harder. Every afternoon, we practiced in the music hall. We changed the song a little so that Mia could sing softly, Tom made the guitar parts easier, and I created dance steps that worked with their performance. What once felt messy slowly turned into a smooth performance. It connected our strengths and covered our weaknesses. On the talent show night, we held hands backstage. When the music started, we forgot our worries and played from our hearts. Mia sang confidently, Tom’s guitar sounded smooth, and I danced with joy. The audience (观众) cheered loudly, and even though we didn’t win first prize, we won ourselves. That experience taught me that music is more than just something we can dance or sing to. It’s a bridge that brings people together, turning each person’s weak points into the group’s strong points. The simple song became a memory that reminds us: with teamwork and courage, we can do what we never thought possible. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why did the three students almost give up practicing at first?

They were very unhappy about this. “Please don’t go,” my father said. “You won’t be happy, you know Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea. But I couldn’t forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship, and my friend said to me, “We’re sailing to London tomorrow. Why don’t you come with us?” And so, on September 1st, 1651, I went to Hull, and the next day we sailed for London. But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and very afraid. “Oh, I don’t want to die!” I cried. “I want to live! If I live, I’ll go home and never go to sea again!” The next day the wind dropped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again. “Well, Bob,” my friend laughed. “How do you feel now? The wind wasn’t too bad.” “What!” I cried. “It was a terrible storm.” “Oh, that wasn’t a storm,” my friend answered. “Just a little wind. Forget it. Come and have a drink.” After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about the danger and decided not to go home. I didn’t want my friends and family to laugh at me! I stayed in London for some time, but I still wanted to go to sea. So, when the captain of a ship asked me to go with him to Guinea in Africa, I agreed. And so I went to sea for the second time. It was a good ship and everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then, when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long, hard fight, but when it finished, we and the ship were prisoners. The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco. They wanted to sell us as slaves in the markets there. But in the end the Turkish captain decided to keep me for himself, and took me home with him. This was a sudden and terrible change in my life. I was now a slave and this Turkish captain was my master. 1．What was the attitude of Robinson’s father toward being a sailor? A．His father didn’t approve of his dream.

I’m Maddie, and I’m in Ms. King’s class. We really wanted to take part in our school’s art show. But there was a big problem: we didn’t have any instruments, and we had no money to buy them. We needed a good idea. After thinking for a long time, we came up with a great idea. Why not make our own instruments? That way, we could have what we needed without spending any money. We were all excited about this plan. For shakers, Fay and Oscar put some stones into two Coke bottles. Evan and Kate took paper boxes and filled (装满) them with rice. Then, they shook them to the beat of the music. It sounded really cool! We also made some drums. We used old buckets and pots. Bruno, Sara, and Dan beat them. And for cymbals (钹), we used metal (金属) plates. Ms. King helped us practice. We all had a lot of fun. Finally, the night of the show arrived. The hall was full of people. When we started playing, singing and dancing, the crowd got excited. Our parents took photos and cheered for us. It was an amazing show! Now, we’re so happy with our new instruments. They sound great! And you know what? ▲ They’re a reminder (提醒) of how creative we can be when we work together. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．Why did Maddie’s class decide to make their own instruments?

A．A Wonderful Night of Music B．Making Music from Nothing C．Our School Art Show Success D．Ms. King’s Class and Her Creative Idea 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了Maddie所在班级如何通过团队合作和创造力，用废旧物品自制乐器，并成功在学校艺术演出上表演的故事。 1．细节理解题。根据“But there was a big problem: we didn’t have any instruments, and we had no money to buy them. We needed a good idea.”可知，自制乐器是因为他们没钱买乐器。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“For shakers, Fay and Oscar put some stones into two Coke bottles.”可知，Fay和Oscar用的材料是可乐瓶子和石头。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“When we started playing, singing and dancing, the crowd got excited.”可知，当我们开始演奏、唱歌和跳舞时，观众们变得很兴奋，即他们很兴奋，玩得很开心。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Now, we’re so happy with our new instruments. They sound great!”和“They’re a reminder (提醒) of how creative we can be when we work together.”可知，空处既要承接前文“喜欢新乐器”，又要引出后文“自制乐器的意义”，D项“我们仍然爱我们的旧的‘自制’乐器。”符合题意。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。根据文章内容可知，本文的主线是：班级没钱买乐器→自制乐器→艺术展演出成功→体会合作与创造力，核心是“用身边普通甚至废弃的材料制作乐器，实现音乐梦想”。 B项中的“nothing”指“没有钱买乐器、用普通材料自制”，精准概括“从无到有制作乐器并演奏”的核心，贴合全文主题。故选B。 Before May 4th, China’s National Youth Day this year, the great writer Mo Yan wrote a letter to young people. Here is a part of the letter: What should we do when having a tough (艰难的) time in life? I can’t give you a textbook answer, but I’d like to share two stories of my childhood. They are about A BOOK that brought me knowledge and A MAN that brought me strength (意志力量). The book is the Xinhua Dictionary. My family lived a tough life, and I had to drop out of school. Back then, children of my age were at school, learning and playing games together, but I didn’t have that luxury (奢华). The good thing is that I got a copy of the Xinhua Dictionary, and it was all I had. Most of the words I knew didn’t come from school. Instead, I learned them by reading the Xinhua Dictionary, which got me through the tough time and prepared me for my writing career. The man is my grandpa. One day, I got caught in bad weather with Grandpa when we were on the way home with a handcart (手推车) of grass. There were thick clouds overhead, the sky was getting dark, and a heavy storm was coming in our direction. The wind got stronger and stronger. I was pushed down to the ground and couldn’t move. Grandpa, however, hung on to the handcart. It seemed that he had no plans to run for cover—he decided to fight against the wind. Then in the strong wind, Grandpa’s legs were shaking, but he didn’t take a step back. Nor did the handcart. Although the grass was long gone at the end of the day, we still had the handcart. So, my dear young friends, I want you to remember that when you are having a tough time in life, don’t lose heart. Never let life knock you down. Even in the hardest situation, there is hope that encourages us to move forward. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What do we know about Mo Yan’s childhood? A．He led a life of luxury with his family.

Never let life knock you down. Even in the hardest situation, there is hope that encourages us to move forward.”可知，莫言想通过这封信告诉年轻人永远不要放弃。故选B。 Hello there! I’m one of the Unitree G1 humanoid robots. Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart. ▲  Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance. Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world’s brightest stages, right on cue with my fellow robots. We were there to perform. At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us. At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move. Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then! Videos of this year’s show have gone viral online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. “It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film,” one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, “What will robots do next?” That question excites me. Because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones. And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education—performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, “I want to build something like that one day.” The gala was my debut. The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward. 1．Which of the following fits best in the ▲ ? A．I wasn’t built to sit quietly on a shelf. B．I was created in a large factory in China. C．People often believe robots are only cold machines. D．Many robots are built for display rather than action. 2．The drunken boxing move was designed to ________. A．test whether the robot could recover from a fall B．create a surprising moment for the audience C．show the robot’s control over its movements D．introduce the robot’s new performance style 3．How does the writer show the robots’ progress? A．By giving detailed numbers about their training. B．By comparing this year’s show with last year’s. C．By describing their appearance in a scientific way. D．By explaining how engineers improved the robots. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Robots will focus mostly on performing and teaching. B．Robots are already widely used in disaster rescue. C．Robots are becoming popular with young people. D．Robots may take on different kinds of social roles. 5．Why does the writer tell the story in the first person? A．To explain technical details more clearly. B．To make the story more personal and lively. C．To show how robots are controlled. D．To present the gala in a relaxed tone. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文以一名宇树机器人的口吻介绍了宇树所研发的动作机器人的发展历程，文章结尾表达了它们将会在社会的不同方面发挥作用。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt.”可知，宇树的工程师们有一个制造能够灵活运动的机器人的梦想，D选项“很多机器人是为了展示而非行动而制造的”，正好与后文描述的这款机器人被设计来行动形成鲜明对比，从而突出了它的独特性和工程师的远大目标。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第六段“At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet.”可知，醉拳动作的设计意在制造出人意料的惊喜时刻，从而吸引观众的注意。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第七段“Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then!”可知，作者是通过和去年的表演相对比，来展现机器人的进步的。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones.”可知，机器人可能会承担各种各样的社会角色。故选D。 5．推理判断题。阅读全文并根据第一段“Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart.”可知，本文以第一人称来叙述是为了让故事更个性化、更生动。故选B。 Mia noticed a sign on the door of the dining hall. It read, “Hackathon! Come to Room 304 today after school to learn more.” Mia asked her friends at lunch, “Hey, does anyone know what a hackathon is?” Most of her friends shrugged (耸肩). But Charlie replied, “It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.” “Sounds interesting. Will there be a winner for our hackathon?” asked Mia. “Let’s go to Room 304 to find out,” Charlie said. Mia knew Charlie was a computer genius (天才), but she had never taken a computer science class before. Worried, she still went to Room 304 at the end of the day. When she entered the room, Mia found several kids from Charlie’s computer science class. Feeling uneasy, she sat next to Charlie. Mr. Ingram, the computer science teacher, began to speak. “Well, we’ re going to have our first hackathon at Waltham Middle School,” he said. “Today you’ll form teams. Then, next Saturday, I’ll give you a problem. The teams will have seven hours to come up with a solution, and the winner will get a prize.” Everyone started forming teams. Then Charlie turned to Mia and said, “I want you on my team.” “Why me?” asked Mia in surprise. “I know little about computer science.” “But you know how to organize people,” said Charlie. “You’re also good at public speaking, and you’ll think of ways of solving the problem that I would never think of.” Mia considered Charlie’s words. It was true—she liked giving speeches in class. With younger brothers and sisters, Mia was good at giving people tasks and making sure things got done. “It’s a deal,” she said. They shook hands and a team was born. 1．What is a hackathon? A．An art show. B．A school party. C．A computer challenge. D．A sports competition. 2．What do we know about Charlie? A．He was Mia’s best friend. B．He had a talent for working on computers. C．He took a computer science class every day. D．He knew everything about the hackathon in his school. 3．Put the following information into the correct order according to the passage. a．Charlie and Mia went to Room 304． b．Mia asked her friends about the sign. c．Charlie told Mia what a hackathon was. d．Mia agreed to form a team with Charlie. e．Mr. Ingram said the winner would get a prize. A．b-c-a-e-d B．b-c-a-d-e C．c-b-a-d-e D．c-b-e-a-d 4．What was Mia like according to Charlie? A．Proud, active and hard-working. B．Proud, funny and quick-minded. C．Organized, active and quick-minded. D．Organized, funny and hard-working. 5．Which is the most probable ending of the story? A．Charlie and Mia hardly worked together. B．Mia gave up taking part in the hackathon. C．Charlie learned a lot about computer science from Mia. D．Mia was responsible for the speaking work of the team. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Mia对计算机挑战赛感到好奇，在朋友Charlie的解释和鼓励下，克服对自己能力的怀疑，最终与他组队参赛的故事。 1．第二段Charlie明确解释“It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.”，因此hackathon是一种“计算机挑战赛”。 2．第五段提到“Mia knew Charlie was a computer genius”，说明Charlie在计算机方面很有天赋。 3．故事发展顺序为：第一段，Mia在食堂门上看到告示后询问朋友“Hey, does anyone know what a hackathon is?”（对应b：Mia询问朋友关于告示的事）；第二段，Charlie告诉她“It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.”（对应c：Charlie告诉Mia什么是hackathon）；第四段，两人一起去Room 304了解更多信息（对应a：Charlie和Mia去了304房间）；第六段，Mr. Ingram宣布“The teams will have seven hours to come up with a solution, and the winner will get a prize.”（对应e：Mr. Ingram说获胜者会有奖品）；最后两段，经过交流后，Mia对Charlie说“It’s a deal.”，两人握手组队（对应d：Mia同意和Charlie组队），即正确顺序为b-c-a-e-d。 4．Charlie评价Mia时说“you know how to organize people”“good at public speaking”“think of ways…that I would never think of”，对应organized“有组织力的”、active“活跃的”和quick-minded“思维敏捷的”。 5．根据第九段Charlie对Mia说的话“You’re also good at public speaking”，以及最后一段两人握手组队的情节，可以推断在接下来的比赛中，Mia很可能会负责团队中与演讲相关的工作。 2 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 1 迎战新中考，备考有方向，冲刺有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 备战2026年天津中考英语押题预测系列，本地名师甄选！ 备战2026年天津中考英语押题预测系列，本地名师甄选！ 专题05 阅读理解之记叙文热点练15篇 （新题速递） 【选题说明：90%选自最新模考/外刊/改编/热点；内容预览：3类限时训练共15篇；难度：易中难】   押   题   预   测 基础入门限时练5篇，建议用时20分钟，实际用时 分钟 On a warm day in 2050, Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house and turn on the computer in their bedroom to get the latest (最新的) news. They used to read The Guardian, but changed to electronic (电子的) newspapers many years ago. Frank first reads some news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars. Then they turn to sports news. As they watch the screen, Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them. Then Frank disappears into another room to join a video meeting with his business partners around the world. Frank is a computer engineer. Mary is still in their bedroom. She picks up the video phone to talk to her assistant (助理). Mary also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have office jobs in London, but in 2040 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home. Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2035 because there was no longer any need for them: the Internet had made it much easier to learn at home. Louise, now thirteen, is studying Chinese at present, which has become a world language as important as English. Louise has many Chinese friends. They share many things online. According to the family doctor, Louise will live to be at least 130. Her wish is to work for a few decades (十年) and then spend her time studying music and painting. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．The Guardian is probably ________. A．science fiction B．a magazine C．a book D．a newspaper 2．Frank reads news about ________ first. A．travel B．space C．music D．sports 3．How many people are there in the family? A．Five. B．Four. C．Three.

A．China plays a very important part in the world B．there are some classrooms in schools C．more people work in offices D．people don’t enjoy their life One early morning on the weekend, I decided to learn how to make jiaozi from my grandmother. I thought it would be fun and easy at the very beginning, but soon it came to me that it wasn’t as simple as it looked. At first, I didn’t pay attention to the keen-edged knife while cutting vegetables. My finger got cut because of my carelessness. Luckily, it wasn’t serious. Grandma was nervous and quickly helped me clean the cut. “My poor little girl! Be careful next time!” said Grandma softly. Through the painful lesson, I learned that safety should always come first. After that accident, I continued working with Grandma. We made the dough (面团), mixed the filling and started shaping the dumplings. However, I kept making mistakes. Some of my dumplings were too thick, others were not properly sealed (封闭) and some even had too much filling, making them difficult to close. It was so disappointing, but Grandma kept encouraging me. By noon, at about ten to twelve, I finished making a plate of dumplings—some were perfect and some were a bit messy. Dad ate my ugliest dumpling first. “Tastes better than it looks!” he laughed. Mum encouraged me, “They’re the most delicious dumplings I have ever had. I am so proud of you!” Now I understand that making jiaozi isn’t just about the final product; it is about learning patience, having fun with my family, and improving through mistakes. Mistakes aren’t signs of weakness. Instead, they should be viewed (看待) as stepping stones to achievements. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What did the writer think of making jiaozi at the very beginning? A．Fun and easy. B．Fun but difficult. C．Boring and hard. D．Simple but boring. 2．Which has the similar meaning to the underlined word “keen-edged”? A．large B．sharp C．colourful D．expensive 3．When did the writer finish making a plate of jiaozi? A．At 10: 50 a. m. B．At 11: 10 a. m. C．At 11: 50 a. m. D．At 1: 00 p. m. 4．How did the writer’s Mum’s words sound? A．Surprising. B．Worrying. C．Encouraging. D．Disappointing. 5．What does the text mainly tell us? A．Never too old to learn. B．Practice makes perfect. C．We should learn to make food by ourselves. D．We should improve ourselves through mistakes. Can you remember the last time you used a paper map to find your way? Not on a phone, but a real paper map? For me, it feels like a lifetime ago. It was the summer of 2008. My family and I were on a road trip to visit my grandparents who lived in a small village. My father was driving, and I was the “map reader”, holding a big, colorful map. I felt so important! Back then, we didn’t have a smartphone with GPS. About halfway, we entered a place with many small roads. Suddenly, my father wasn’t sure if we had taken the correct turn. We pulled over (停车) by the side of the road. I carefully spread the map out and the wind tried to blow it away. Together, we looked for things like rivers and railway tracks. Finally, we found our mistake and got back on the right road. That paper map saved our trip! Nowadays, that old map is no longer in our car. It sits in a drawer at home. We now rely on digital maps that talk to us. It’s very convenient, but somehow less of an adventure (历险). Recently, I took the old map out of the drawer. I didn’t need it for directions. Instead, I put it on my bedroom wall. I marked all the places I have visited and dream of visiting one day. It has become a piece of art full of memories and dreams. So, if I ever get lost on a road trip again, I probably won’t use that paper map. My phone will guide me quickly. But that old map still helps me in another way—it inspires me to explore more and remember the pleasure we had finding our way together. 1．What was the author doing while his father was driving in Paragraph 2? A．Calling his grandparents. B．Learning to read maps. C．Playing games on his phone. D．Helping show the way. 2．What did they do right after spreading the map out? A．They pulled over by the road. B．They looked for things like rivers. C．They got back on the right road. D．They drove on without stopping. 3．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．The drawer. B．The old map. C．The bedroom wall. D．The digital map. 4．What is the old map used as now? A．A work of art. B．A time-saving guide. C．A trip-plan tool. D．A teaching tool. 5．How does the author feel about using paper maps? A．Comfortable. B．Convenient. C．Fun. D．Bored. When he was a teenager, Hunter Adams was very unhappy and he spent many years in a special hospital for people with mental (精神的) health problems. When he left the hospital, Adams decided to become a doctor, so he went to a medical school in Virginia, the USA．But when he was there, he did things in a different way. For example, he didn’t like the doctors’ white coats, so he wore shirts with flowers on them when he visited his patients and he tried to make them laugh. The doctors at the medical school didn’t like Adams because he was too different. But Adams believed that people in hospital needed more than medicine. He saw unhappy and lonely people, and he tried to help them. He spent a lot of time with children in hospital and often dressed up as a clown (小丑) to make the children laugh. When he finished medical school and became a doctor, Adams opened his own hospital called “The Gesundheit Institute” , together with some other doctors. They wanted it to be a place with a different way of working with sick people. Hunter Adams became famous during the1980s, and in 1998, Universal Pictures made a film about his life. It was very successful. In the film (called Patch Adams) , Robin Williams played Adams. Williams said, “Adams is a really warm person, who believes that patients need a doctor who is a friend. I enjoyed playing him.” 1．When did Adams have mental health problems? A．During the 1980s. B．When he was a teenage boy. C．After the film came out. D．After he left medical school. 2．Why did the doctors at the medical school dislike Adams? A．Because he was a warm person. B．Because he was a clown. C．Because he wasn’t the same as others.

He told me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value most when he or she grows up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be an intelligent person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot. My father was doing it because he was curious (好奇的). It was interesting for him to see which one I would pick. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. Tears (眼泪) came to his eyes. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices. And that was the first and only time I made him cry. 1．How many choices did the father prepare? A．One. B．Two. C．Three.

When 15-year-old Tao received a small bamboo seed from his grandfather, he didn’t think much of it. “Plant it, and wait,” his grandfather said, eyes crinkling with a secret. Tao dug a hole in his backyard, placed the seed inside, and watered it carefully. Weeks passed, and nothing happened. Tao grew impatient, forgetting to water it sometimes. But his grandfather reminded him, “Trust the process (过程).” Another month went by, still no sprout (新芽). Tao almost gave up, but one morning, a tiny green shoot pushed through the soil. In the next six weeks, that shoot grew into a 10-meter-tall bamboo. Tao was shocked. His grandfather explained, “Bamboo spends five years growing roots underground, so it can shoot up quickly when the time comes.” That day, Tao learned that patience isn’t about waiting and doing nothing, but about keeping going even when you don’t see results. Now, whenever Tao faces a tough exam or a difficult painting, he thinks of the bamboo. He knows that every effort, even the unseen ones, is building a strong foundation (基础) for success. 1．What did Tao get from his grandfather? A．A bamboo shoot. B．A small bamboo seed. C．A painting.

Nowadays, people from many other countries also celebrate the Chinese New Year! This winter holiday, I went to the capital city of Thailand, Bangkok. When I first arrived in the city center, I was startled by the sight. Many windows had posters saying “Happy Chinese New Year”. Many people were wearing red clothes and qipao. And the biggest shopping area in Bangkok was decorated with many cartoon horses and a sign saying “Lucky Chinese New Year”! I also put on my qipao and walked down the street to enjoy the atmosphere (气氛). Many people from different countries smiled at me and said “Xinnianhao”. At night, there were fireworks over the river in the city center, and the beautiful fireworks made me feel proud to be Chinese. The next day I received a letter from a pen pal in the UK. He told me that his family were also taking part in the celebrations and were very interested in Chinese culture and customs.

Mia loved singing but was too shy to perform alone. Tom played the guitar well but hated being the focus. I could dance but felt lost without a team. “Why not form a band?” Mia suggested. “We need a song that we can perform together and fits all of us.” We searched for days and finally found Counting Stars—a song that had a nice sound Mia could sing, simple guitar parts Tom could play, and a rhythm (节拍) I could dance to. At first, everything went wrong. Mia’s voice shook when we practiced, Tom made mistakes with the guitar, and my dance moves didn’t match the music. We almost gave up, but the song’s lyrics, which talked about chasing dreams without fear, made us try harder. Every afternoon, we practiced in the music hall. We changed the song a little so that Mia could sing softly, Tom made the guitar parts easier, and I created dance steps that worked with their performance. What once felt messy slowly turned into a smooth performance. It connected our strengths and covered our weaknesses. On the talent show night, we held hands backstage. When the music started, we forgot our worries and played from our hearts. Mia sang confidently, Tom’s guitar sounded smooth, and I danced with joy. The audience (观众) cheered loudly, and even though we didn’t win first prize, we won ourselves. That experience taught me that music is more than just something we can dance or sing to. It’s a bridge that brings people together, turning each person’s weak points into the group’s strong points. The simple song became a memory that reminds us: with teamwork and courage, we can do what we never thought possible. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Why did the three students almost give up practicing at first?

D．They changed an easier song to perform. 3．What did the writer learn from the talent show experience? A．Winning first prize is the most important thing in a show. B．Music is only a tool for people to sing and dance together. C．Teamwork and courage can help people achieve the unexpected. D．It’s better to perform alone than to work with a group. 4．Which of the following is the correct order of the events? a. The three students practiced the song and improved it little by little. b.

They were very unhappy about this. “Please don’t go,” my father said. “You won’t be happy, you know Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life.” And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea. But I couldn’t forget, and about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship, and my friend said to me, “We’re sailing to London tomorrow. Why don’t you come with us?” And so, on September 1st, 1651, I went to Hull, and the next day we sailed for London. But, a few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and very afraid. “Oh, I don’t want to die!” I cried. “I want to live! If I live, I’ll go home and never go to sea again!” The next day the wind dropped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again. “Well, Bob,” my friend laughed. “How do you feel now? The wind wasn’t too bad.” “What!” I cried. “It was a terrible storm.” “Oh, that wasn’t a storm,” my friend answered. “Just a little wind. Forget it. Come and have a drink.” After a few drinks with my friend, I felt better. I forgot about the danger and decided not to go home. I didn’t want my friends and family to laugh at me! I stayed in London for some time, but I still wanted to go to sea. So, when the captain of a ship asked me to go with him to Guinea in Africa, I agreed. And so I went to sea for the second time. It was a good ship and everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then, when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long, hard fight, but when it finished, we and the ship were prisoners. The Turkish captain and his men took us to Sallee in Morocco. They wanted to sell us as slaves in the markets there. But in the end the Turkish captain decided to keep me for himself, and took me home with him. This was a sudden and terrible change in my life.

But there was a big problem: we didn’t have any instruments, and we had no money to buy them. We needed a good idea. After thinking for a long time, we came up with a great idea. Why not make our own instruments? That way, we could have what we needed without spending any money. We were all excited about this plan.

Here is a part of the letter: What should we do when having a tough (艰难的) time in life? I can’t give you a textbook answer, but I’d like to share two stories of my childhood. They are about A BOOK that brought me knowledge and A MAN that brought me strength (意志力量). The book is the Xinhua Dictionary. My family lived a tough life, and I had to drop out of school. Back then, children of my age were at school, learning and playing games together, but I didn’t have that luxury (奢华). The good thing is that I got a copy of the Xinhua Dictionary, and it was all I had. Most of the words I knew didn’t come from school. Instead, I learned them by reading the Xinhua Dictionary, which got me through the tough time and prepared me for my writing career. The man is my grandpa. One day, I got caught in bad weather with Grandpa when we were on the way home with a handcart (手推车) of grass. There were thick clouds overhead, the sky was getting dark, and a heavy storm was coming in our direction. The wind got stronger and stronger. I was pushed down to the ground and couldn’t move. Grandpa, however, hung on to the handcart. It seemed that he had no plans to run for cover—he decided to fight against the wind. Then in the strong wind, Grandpa’s legs were shaking, but he didn’t take a step back. Nor did the handcart. Although the grass was long gone at the end of the day, we still had the handcart. So, my dear young friends, I want you to remember that when you are having a tough time in life, don’t lose heart. Never let life knock you down. Even in the hardest situation, there is hope that encourages us to move forward. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What do we know about Mo Yan’s childhood? A．He led a life of luxury with his family.

Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart. ▲  Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance. Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world’s brightest stages, right on cue with my fellow robots. We were there to perform. At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us. At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move. Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then! Videos of this year’s show have gone viral online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. “It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film,” one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, “What will robots do next?” That question excites me. Because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones. And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education—performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, “I want to build something like that one day.” The gala was my debut. The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward. 1．Which of the following fits best in the ▲ ? A．I wasn’t built to sit quietly on a shelf. B．I was created in a large factory in China. C．People often believe robots are only cold machines. D．Many robots are built for display rather than action. 2．The drunken boxing move was designed to ________. A．test whether the robot could recover from a fall B．create a surprising moment for the audience C．show the robot’s control over its movements D．introduce the robot’s new performance style 3．How does the writer show the robots’ progress? A．By giving detailed numbers about their training. B．By comparing this year’s show with last year’s. C．By describing their appearance in a scientific way. D．By explaining how engineers improved the robots. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Robots will focus mostly on performing and teaching. B．Robots are already widely used in disaster rescue. C．Robots are becoming popular with young people. D．Robots may take on different kinds of social roles. 5．Why does the writer tell the story in the first person? A．To explain technical details more clearly. B．To make the story more personal and lively. C．To show how robots are controlled. D．To present the gala in a relaxed tone. Mia noticed a sign on the door of the dining hall. It read, “Hackathon! Come to Room 304 today after school to learn more.” Mia asked her friends at lunch, “Hey, does anyone know what a hackathon is?” Most of her friends shrugged (耸肩). But Charlie replied, “It’s a challenge where people work together on computers to develop a project that helps solve a problem.” “Sounds interesting. Will there be a winner for our hackathon?” asked Mia. “Let’s go to Room 304 to find out,” Charlie said. Mia knew Charlie was a computer genius (天才), but she had never taken a computer science class before. Worried, she still went to Room 304 at the end of the day. When she entered the room, Mia found several kids from Charlie’s computer science class. Feeling uneasy, she sat next to Charlie. Mr. Ingram, the computer science teacher, began to speak. “Well, we’ re going to have our first hackathon at Waltham Middle School,” he said. “Today you’ll form teams. Then, next Saturday, I’ll give you a problem. The teams will have seven hours to come up with a solution, and the winner will get a prize.” Everyone started forming teams. Then Charlie turned to Mia and said, “I want you on my team.” “Why me?” asked Mia in surprise. “I know little about computer science.” “But you know how to organize people,” said Charlie. “You’re also good at public speaking, and you’ll think of ways of solving the problem that I would never think of.” Mia considered Charlie’s words. It was true—she liked giving speeches in class. With younger brothers and sisters, Mia was good at giving people tasks and making sure things got done. “It’s a deal,” she said. They shook hands and a team was born. 1．What is a hackathon? A．An art show. B．A school party. C．A computer challenge. D．A sports competition. 2．What do we know about Charlie?
