Tried in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan, this policy benefits students and families.  2026 年政府工作报告提出，支持推行学生春秋短假。该政策已在浙江、江苏、四川三省试点，惠及学生与家庭。 These short holidays ease students’ study pressure. With nice weather, students can join practical activities like farming, nature watching and cultural learning. This turns textbook knowledge into real-life experience.  这些短假缓解了学生的学习压力。趁着天气宜人，学生可以参与农事体验、自然观察和文化学习等实践活动。这也让课本知识转化为了真实的生活体验。 For families, staggered leave lets parents spend time with kids at lower costs.

It also boosts local tourism and economy.  对于家庭而言，错峰休假让父母得以低成本地陪伴孩子。许多家庭会选择出游、探亲或参观博物馆，从而增进亲情纽带。同时，这也带动了当地旅游与经济发展。 Yet, challenges exist. Many working parents can’t care for children during holidays. To fix this, schools offer colorful holiday care activities, and local communities provide more programs. Holidays can be adjusted flexibly based on local conditions.  不过，政策实施过程中仍存在挑战。许多双职工父母无法在假期照顾孩子。为解决这一问题，学校推出了丰富多彩的托管活动，社区也提供了更多实践课程。假期安排也可结合当地实际情况灵活调整。 In short, these holidays are an educational innovation. They shift education from exam-focused to all-round development. With joint efforts of families, schools and society, students will grow healthier and more meaningfully. 总而言之，春秋假期是一项重要的教育创新。它标志着教育从应试导向向全面发展方向转变。在家庭、学校和社会的共同努力下，学生将得以更健康、更有意义地成长。 【长难句分析】 1.原句：Families may travel, visit relatives or go to museums, strengthening family bonds. 译文：许多家庭会选择出游、探亲或参观博物馆，从而增进亲情纽带。 难点：strengthening family bonds,这里是现在分词作结果状语。 2.原句：With joint efforts of families, schools and society, students will grow healthier and more meaningfully.  译文：在家庭、学校和社会的共同努力下，学生将得以更健康、更有意义地成长。 难点：With joint efforts of families, 这是介宾短语作状语。 【重难词汇梳理】 policy 政策 benefit 有益于 promote 促进 ease 缓解 pressure 压力 staggered leave 错峰休假 exist 存在 innovation 创新 Passage2  Dragon Head Raising Festival 二月二，龙抬头 The Dragon Head Raising Festival, commonly known as Longtaitou or Eryue'er, is a lively Chinese festival celebrated on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

In ancient agricultural societies, rain was very important for the growth of crops.  这个节日深深植根于中华文化，人们敬奉龙——它是吉祥和雨水的重要象征。传说在这一天，龙从冬眠中苏醒，抬起头来带来雨水。在古代农业社会，雨水对农作物的生长至关重要。 The festival has many popular traditions. One well-known custom is getting a haircut, which is believed to bring good luck.

Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they will be surprised at the warm welcome. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve (提供) you snacks and fruits. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (招待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the most surprising things for western guests is that the Chinese host likes to pick up food for visitors. This won’t happen at western tables. Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl. Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius said thousands of years ago: How happy we are, to meet friends from far away! 1．In a Chinese family, the host usually offers guests ________.

Then he will serve you snacks and fruits.”可知，中国家庭的主人通常会为客人提供茶和水果。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。文章结尾引用孔子的话“How happy we are, to meet friends from far away!”，意思是“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”，与选项B的内容一致。故选B。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段总起段，点明中国是礼仪之邦，待客热情；第二段和第三段具体介绍待客的做法和餐桌礼仪；第四段总结段，升华主题，强调热情好客是中国文化的重要部分。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。文章从主人奉茶、准备大餐、餐桌礼仪等方面，详细介绍了中国人如何招待客人，核心是展示中国的待客之道。故选B。 Passage2 In a neighborhood, a service team of volunteers—Shared Children—is getting popular. It works hard to help old people without children around to be happy. The volunteers already made a big difference in the neighborhood. They helped more than seventy old people these days. The volunteers learned about the old people’s needs in their life and gave them a helping hand. At first, the neighborhood started a project to help some people in need in time. However, the neighborhood did not have enough workers to help so many old people. So, the idea of “Shared Children” came out. The number of the volunteers in the team is more than 108 now. They help the old people buy things, take a walk with them and cook for them. ▲ . Fan Fawen is a retired (退休的) train driver. He joined the volunteer team two years ago. He often helps to repair something in the old people’s homes, buys them fruit and vegetables and carries heavy things, like bags of rice and boxes. Liu Chunyan, 43, is also one of the volunteers. “Many old people now live alone and feel lonely, so we should help them and talk with them more often,” Liu says. “More people now start to learn about the team. We believe that more people will join us in the future,” says Hao Guoying, a volunteer of the team. 1．Who do volunteers in the team “Shared Children” help? A．Old people with children around.

For me, it was the birthmark on my face. It was bright red, the color of a strawberry. Sometimes, I felt people secretly looking at my face. But when I turned my head, they looked away. On crowded buses and trains, it felt just like a disaster. With so many people around me, my birthmark burnt red hot. Therefore, I always kept my hair long to cover it until that day. It was a cloudy morning. A new student named Maddie arrived in our class. She sat right beside me. Instead of looking away, Maddie studied my face. This made me so nervous. Clouds came through the window and filled my heart. Suddenly, she said something I would never forget. “Sally, right?” she said. “You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!” I looked up and met her smiling eyes. Although I only replied “thank you”, it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away. The shape of it was truly like a flower. The next day, to my surprise, Maddie painted a red rose on her own face! I haven’t told Maddie the whole story yet. Anyway, she has changed me. I have already learnt that I am what I am. Everyone has something special and different—that is what’s interesting. 1．How did Sally feel about her birthmark at first? A．Proud. B．Excited. C．Unhappy. D．Surprised. 2．What does “burnt red hot” mean in the story? A．Her skin felt very warm. B．She felt embarrassed. C．The birthmark hurt her. D．The birthmark got bigger. 3．Why did Maddie paint a red rose on her own face? A．To show she was good at painting. B．To make fun of Sally’s birthmark. C．To show kindness and make Sally feel accepted. D．To make face painting popular in class. 4．What is the story mainly about? A．How a friend’s kindness helped a girl to like/accept herself. B．How a new student became popular by painting her face. C．Why you should only share secrets with close friends. D．Why changing how you look can change your life. 5．What can we infer from the text? A．Sally will be confident about her looks later. B．Sally will cover her birthmark with hair forever. C．Maddie thinks all birthmarks are ugly. D．No one likes Sally except Maddie. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了萨利因脸上的胎记感到自卑，总用头发遮盖，新同学麦迪将她的胎记形容成美丽的红玫瑰，还在自己脸上画玫瑰的暖心举动，让萨利接纳了自己的独特之处，学会正视自我的故事。 1．第二段“it felt just like a disaster”、“always kept my hair long to cover it ”，说明萨利不喜欢胎记，感到不开心。 2．拥挤的人群让萨利因胎记被看到而感到窘迫，“burnt red hot”（烧得通红滚烫）是拟人化的心理描写，体现尴尬的情绪。 3．第四段“You have a red rose on your face. How beautiful!”、第五段“it turned sunny in my heart”，麦迪先夸赞萨利的胎记，让萨利不再自卑，后续画玫瑰的行为是对萨利的进一步鼓励，让萨利感受到被认可、被接纳。 4．全文围绕萨利对胎记的自卑展开，核心转折点是麦迪的善意夸赞和模仿行为，最后一段“she has changed me”、“I have already learnt that I am what I am.”这是麦迪的善意让她从逃避胎记到正视、接纳自己的独特之处。 5．第五段“For the first time, I could look at my birthmark without quickly turning away. ”，萨利第一次能坦然看自己的胎记，到最后一段领悟到每个人都有独特之处，这是她心态转变的关键。从逃避到正视，再到接纳自我，可推断萨利后续会逐渐变得自信。 Passage4 The rain had poured for days, turning streets into rivers.

One morning, he came across a beach accidentally where thousands of starfish had been washed up. The old man noticed a little girl who was coming in the distance. As she walked, she would stop to bend down (弯下腰), pick up an object and put it into the sea. The man walked closer asking what she was doing by the seaside. She stopped, looked up, and replied, “Putting starfish into the sea.” The man asked her why, to which she replied, “The sea has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t go back to the sea by themselves. When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I put them back into the water.” The man noted, “But there are miles and miles of beach and there are thousands of starfish all along every mile, how will you make much of a difference?” The girl bent down, picked up another starfish with a small pair of tongs (钳子) and put it into the seawater. Then she turned towards the old man, gave a smile and said, “I made a difference to that one!” After hearing the girl’s explanation, the old man was shocked. Many don’t think their efforts can make a difference so they put off their actions or wait for someone else to take the lead. However, the little girl taught the old man a very important lesson.

This special day marks the arrival of spring, a season when nature comes back to life and farmers get ready for the busy farming season.  龙抬头节，又称龙抬头或二月二，是中国农历二月初二庆祝的一个热闹节日。这一天标志着春天的到来，万物复苏，农民们也开始为繁忙的农耕时节做准备。 Deeply rooted in Chinese culture, the festival honors the dragon, a powerful symbol of good luck and rainfall.

Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they will be surprised at the warm welcome. When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve (提供) you snacks and fruits. Someone in the family will also chat with you, never letting you feel lonely. At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat (招待) their guests with a big meal. They always present more food than the guest can eat. On the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the most surprising things for western guests is that the Chinese host likes to pick up food for visitors. This won’t happen at western tables. Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl. Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition.

One morning, he came across a beach accidentally where thousands of starfish had been washed up. The old man noticed a little girl who was coming in the distance. As she walked, she would stop to bend down (弯下腰), pick up an object and put it into the sea. The man walked closer asking what she was doing by the seaside. She stopped, looked up, and replied, “Putting starfish into the sea.” The man asked her why, to which she replied, “The sea has washed them up onto the beach and they can’t go back to the sea by themselves. When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I put them back into the water.” The man noted, “But there are miles and miles of beach and there are thousands of starfish all along every mile, how will you make much of a difference?” The girl bent down, picked up another starfish with a small pair of tongs (钳子) and put it into the seawater. Then she turned towards the old man, gave a smile and said, “I made a difference to that one!” After hearing the girl’s explanation, the old man was shocked. Many don’t think their efforts can make a difference so they put off their actions or wait for someone else to take the lead. However, the little girl taught the old man a very important lesson.
