Different from past years, the 2026 Gala used new technologies like AI, 3D projection and VR, wonderfully showing a new look of Chinese culture. ②The most shocking act was the “Wu BoT”. These 1.8-meter-tall H2 robots, wearing red martial arts robes (武术袍服), performed with students from Tagou Martial Arts School. They did backflips (后空翻), sword dances (剑舞), and even the classic Drunken Fist (醉拳). What amazed people most was that some robots even finished difficult moves while running, which had never been seen before! This performance was not only a wonder of modern technology, but also a show of the beauty of Chinese martial arts. ③In another program, dancers danced to traditional folk music. 3D projections turned the whole stage (舞台) into a lively, old Chinese painting. It looked like the performers were walking inside a valuable work of art. AI helped bring back the sounds of old musical instruments. People lost themselves in the beautiful, classical songs that had been silent for hundreds of years. ④While using these new technologies, the Gala kept traditional arts. It showed Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, folk songs and paper cutting. These acts were much more than just fun to watch. They were lively ties to our past. They carried the deep memories and feelings for their hometowns and cultural roots. ⑤The 2026 Spring Festival Gala showed us that technology is not here to take the place of our traditions, but a tool that makes them shine even brighter. By mixing the old and the new, we can pass on Chinese traditional culture to the young in a more creative way. 1．What was the most amazing part about the “Wu BOT” performance? A．They wore red martial arts robes. B．They danced with martial arts students. C．They did difficult moves while running. 2．Why did the writer mention Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera and paper cutting? A．To compare them with the robot show. B．To show the Gala still values traditional arts. C．To explain how AI was used in each performance. 3．What does the writer think of the role of technology in culture? A．It has no place in cultural events. B．It can make traditions more creative. C．It might take the place of traditional performances. 4．Which shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了2026年央视春晚用科技融合传统文化的创新呈现，阐述了科技助力文化传承的意义。 1．第二段指出观众最惊叹的部分：“What amazed people most was that some robots even finished difficult moves while running”，说明机器人边跑边完成高难度动作是最令人惊叹的部分。 2．第四段提到：“While using these new technologies, the Gala kept traditional arts. It showed Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, folk songs and paper cutting”，说明作者提及它们是为了表明春晚仍重视传统艺术。 3．第五段点明作者观点：“technology is not here to take the place of our tradition...pass on Chinese traditional culture to the young in a more creative way”，说明作者认为科技能让传统文化更具创意。 4．文章第①段总起介绍2026年春晚科技与传统文化融合的特点；第②-④段分别列举机器人表演、3D舞台效果、传统艺术呈现等具体节目；第⑤段总结升华，点明科技助力文化传承的意义，属于“总—分—总”结构。 B （2026·山东聊城·一模）“Look in my eyes. Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (偶像) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy (咄咄逼人的), which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing wrong information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1．What historical event does Du Fu talk about in the video? A．The Tang Dynasty. B．The An-Shi Rebellion. C．Drinking goji berry water. 2．How does Wang Jiayi feel about the videos? A．Interested. B．Confused. C．Bored. 3．What does Wang Shuotong think about the way the ancient people speak in the videos? A．It is too pushy. B．It is very realistic. C．It is too quiet. 4．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To explain how to make historical videos. B．To compare ancient and modern lifestyles. C．To introduce a new trend of bringing ancient people “back to life” through AI. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了视频博主使用AI技术让古代名人“复活”并用现代语言表达的新趋势，展示了不同人对这一现象的看法。 1．第二段指出：“Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion”，说明杜甫在视频中谈论的是安史之乱。 2．第三段引用王佳怡的话：“The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people”，说明她对视频感兴趣。 3．第四段王烁彤指出：“They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were”，说明她认为视频中古人的说话方式太咄咄逼人。 4．全文围绕AI技术让古代名人“复活”这一新趋势展开，介绍了视频内容、不同人的看法以及需要注意的问题，因此目的是介绍这一新趋势。 C （2026·山东济南·一模）This is a typical day for Yang Jinlong. At 9 am, he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm (节奏) of bamboo clappers (响板), which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6 pm, and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day. On June 10, 2021, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced 325 national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1,557 items. Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. The art form has been introduced to some local schools as part of their art education. Yang was born on May 18th, 1976. He has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is a general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk. “Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said. Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak the local dialect (方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme. Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country. 1．Why is today a typical day for Yang Jinlong? A．He prepares for competitions. B．He follows his daily life of teaching. C．He visits schools in Beijing. D．He learns new forms of quyi. 2．When was Shaanxi kuaiban chosen in the national intangible cultural heritage list? A．In 2003.

B．Creative. C．Patient. D．Brave. 5．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To show how to play Shaanxi kuaiban. B．To compare Chinese and Western arts. C．To encourage students to learn kuaiban for competitions. D．To praise the work of spreading traditional Chinese art. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了陕西快板传承人杨锦龙的日常工作，以及陕西快板入选国家级非物质文化遗产的消息，赞扬了他传承传统艺术的付出。 1．第1段提到“This is a typical day for Yang Jinlong. At 9 a.m., he drives to primary schools and middle schools... his classes run until about 6 pm, then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day”，说明这一天他遵循着日常的教学生活。 2．第2段提到“On June 10, 2021, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced 325 national intangible cultural heritage items... Shaanxi kuaiban... has been included”，说明陕西快板是在2021年6月10日入选的。 3．第2段提到“The art form has been introduced to some local schools as part of their art education”，对应选项C；第1段提到“it is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm of bamboo clappers, which the art form is named after”，说明陕西快板因竹板节奏得名，并非因方言得名，排除A；第4段提到“Kuaiban is popular in northern China”，排除B；第3段提到“He drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban”，说明他在西安教学，排除D。 4．第1段和第3段提到他每天往返学校授课、备课，还说“I’ll work for my whole life”，体现出他对传承艺术的责任心。 5．全文通过介绍杨锦龙的工作和陕西快板的传承现状，最后一段提到“Thanks to artists like Yang, this traditional Chinese form of storytelling is passed on and stays alive in our country”，目的是赞扬传播中国传统艺术的工作。 D （2026·陕西西安·二模） And now, Words and Their Stories, from VOA Learning English. The horse has been important to human beings for thousands of years. It has helped people with transportation, farming, wars and trade. So it is natural that the horse has become a powerful cultural symbol both in China and western countries. In western countries, there are many sayings about the horse. Long ago, rich and important people rode tall horses. Today, if someone acts better than others, we say he should get off his high horse. Interestingly, if you get information straight from the horse’s mouth, you get it directly from the best source. For example, if your teacher tells you about an exam, you get the news straight from the horse’s mouth. The expression “hold your horses” means to be patient and calm. “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink” means you can give advice but cannot force others to do what they dislike. When someone keeps arguing about a settled question, he is beating a dead horse. As is known to all, a “dark horse” is a person who is not famous but wins unexpectedly. In Chinese culture, the horse is one of the 12 zodiac animals. The Year of the Horse stands for energy, speed, courage and success. Many Chinese sayings about horses carry warm wishes. For example, “Long ma jing shen” means keeping a vigorous spirit to fight on. “Ma dao cheng gong” means achieving success quickly. “Yi ma dang xian” means taking the lead. “Han ma gong lao” means a hard-working person makes great contributions. These sayings show love and respect for the spirit of the horse. During the Spring Festival, people like to use horse-shaped decorations, hoping for good luck and progress. Horses are deeply linked with history, culture and language. Whether in China or western countries, the horse stands for hard work, courage and hope. Understanding horse expressions helps us learn about different cultures better.* vigorous means full of energy and strength. * contributions mean something that you give or do to make something successful or better. 1．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A website message. B．A news magazine. C．An English program. D．A TV interview. 2．If you need to tell someone to be calm and patient, you can say “______”. A．Beat a dead horse B．Hold your horses C．You are a dark horse D．Get off your high horse 3．The author mentions both western and Chinese sayings about horses mainly to ______ A．stress that horses have a longer history in Chinese culture B．show that horses carry similar positive meanings across cultures C．explain how horses helped with transportation and farming D．encourage people to use Chinese idioms to express wishes in the Year of the Horse. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了马在中西方文化中的重要象征意义，以及与马相关的英语习语和中文成语，帮助读者理解不同文化中马所承载的内涵。 1．第一段提到“And now, Words and Their Stories, from VOA Learning English.”，VOA Learning English是一个英语学习节目，因此这篇文章很可能来自一个英语节目。 2．第二段明确说明“The expression ‘hold your horses’ means to be patient and calm.”，所以如果需要告诉某人要冷静、有耐心，可以用“hold your horses”。 3．最后一段总结道“Whether in China or western countries, the horse stands for hard work, courage and hope.”，作者同时提及中西方与马相关的习语，主要是为了说明马在不同文化中都承载着相似的积极意义。 二、阅读表达 A （2025·山东滨州·中考真题）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Some bright sparks (火花) light up the night sky, creating a fantastic rain of flowers.

In fact, many ancient forms of entertainment survive to this day. People have given new life to these activities, so that people of all ages can still enjoy them. Among them, flying kites is one of the most popular ones. Kites have a long history in China. According to one legend (传说), the famous Chinese thinker Mozi created a flying “wooden bird”.

Flying kites not only links us to our ancestors, but also gives people a way to express creativity. Every year, kite fliers from all over the world come to the Weifang International Kite Festival in Shandong Province’s Weifang City. The city has been known as the “kite capital of the world”. During the festival, thousands of kites fill the sky. There are both traditional kites like birds and fish, and modern ones like TV and comic characters. Some kites can be over 200 metres long.

Mugwort, a kind of plant, is highly valued for its medical use in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Chinese have been making use of herbs (草药) like mugwort to help people improve health or treat illness for thousands of years. Nowadays, we are seeing more interest in TCM especially among the young. Influenced by TCM ideas, some young people stop having icy drinks. They accept hot Chinese herbal tea, instead. When people feel ill, some choose to go to TCM hospitals and clinics for treatment. With the spread of TCM, some schools start courses about it. For example, students learn to make joss sticks (线香) with herbs in class. More TCM programs appear on TV and the Internet, which can help people form better living habits. In fact, the ideas of Traditional Chinese Medicine are everywhere around us. Following the natural rules can make us healthier. As an old saying goes, “Early to bed, early to rise.” TCM also pays more attention to the balance of diet. Different coloured foods are friendly to different parts of the body. White food is good for lungs, red for heart... If a body is like a tree, TCM focuses on its root (根).

Different from past years, the 2026 Gala used new technologies like AI, 3D projection and VR, wonderfully showing a new look of Chinese culture. ②The most shocking act was the “Wu BoT”. These 1.8-meter-tall H2 robots, wearing red martial arts robes (武术袍服), performed with students from Tagou Martial Arts School. They did backflips (后空翻), sword dances (剑舞), and even the classic Drunken Fist (醉拳). What amazed people most was that some robots even finished difficult moves while running, which had never been seen before! This performance was not only a wonder of modern technology, but also a show of the beauty of Chinese martial arts. ③In another program, dancers danced to traditional folk music. 3D projections turned the whole stage (舞台) into a lively, old Chinese painting. It looked like the performers were walking inside a valuable work of art. AI helped bring back the sounds of old musical instruments. People lost themselves in the beautiful, classical songs that had been silent for hundreds of years. ④While using these new technologies, the Gala kept traditional arts. It showed Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera, folk songs and paper cutting. These acts were much more than just fun to watch. They were lively ties to our past. They carried the deep memories and feelings for their hometowns and cultural roots. ⑤The 2026 Spring Festival Gala showed us that technology is not here to take the place of our traditions, but a tool that makes them shine even brighter. By mixing the old and the new, we can pass on Chinese traditional culture to the young in a more creative way. 1．What was the most amazing part about the “Wu BOT” performance? A．They wore red martial arts robes. B．They danced with martial arts students. C．They did difficult moves while running. 2．Why did the writer mention Peking Opera, Kunqu Opera and paper cutting? A．To compare them with the robot show. B．To show the Gala still values traditional arts. C．To explain how AI was used in each performance. 3．What does the writer think of the role of technology in culture? A．It has no place in cultural events. B．It can make traditions more creative. C．It might take the place of traditional performances. 4．Which shows the structure of this passage? A． B． C． B （2026·山东聊城·一模）“Look in my eyes. Tell me why.” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”. These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons (偶像) speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi Rebellion (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend (趋势) isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions, annoys some people. “They’re too pushy (咄咄逼人的), which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” thanks to the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos, making sure they are not sharing wrong information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1．What historical event does Du Fu talk about in the video? A．The Tang Dynasty. B．The An-Shi Rebellion. C．Drinking goji berry water. 2．How does Wang Jiayi feel about the videos? A．Interested. B．Confused. C．Bored. 3．What does Wang Shuotong think about the way the ancient people speak in the videos? A．It is too pushy. B．It is very realistic. C．It is too quiet. 4．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To explain how to make historical videos. B．To compare ancient and modern lifestyles. C．To introduce a new trend of bringing ancient people “back to life” through AI. C （2026·山东济南·一模）This is a typical day for Yang Jinlong. At 9 am, he drives to primary schools and middle schools in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, to teach students about Shaanxi kuaiban. It is a traditional Chinese form of storytelling to the rhythm (节奏) of bamboo clappers (响板), which the art form is named after. Sometimes, he helps students prepare for competitions. Usually, his classes run until about 6 pm, and then he returns home to prepare classes for the next day. On June 10, 2021, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced 325 national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) items in Beijing, increasing the list to 1,557 items. Shaanxi kuaiban, which appeared during the late Qing Dynasty, has been included. The art form has been introduced to some local schools as part of their art education. Yang was born on May 18th, 1976. He has been teaching young people the art form since 2003 after graduating from the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing. He studied quyi there. Quyi is a general term for Chinese folk art forms, including storytelling, crosstalk and clapper talk. “Art education is important for students in China. Just as many students learn to play Western musical instruments like the piano and violin, there are many people learning traditional Chinese folk arts, including Shaanxi kuaiban, which I’ll work for my whole life,” he said. Kuaiban is popular in northern China, including Beijing and Tianjin. According to Yang, Shaanxi kuaiban was influenced by the art of different areas. The art form can be played by a group of players or only one. With one or two pairs of kuaiban of different sizes in hand, the players speak the local dialect (方言) while telling stories, which are usually about heroes. The player tells stories while playing kuaiban, and it’s easy for the watchers to remember the stories since all the lines rhyme.

The horse has been important to human beings for thousands of years. It has helped people with transportation, farming, wars and trade. So it is natural that the horse has become a powerful cultural symbol both in China and western countries. In western countries, there are many sayings about the horse. Long ago, rich and important people rode tall horses. Today, if someone acts better than others, we say he should get off his high horse. Interestingly, if you get information straight from the horse’s mouth, you get it directly from the best source. For example, if your teacher tells you about an exam, you get the news straight from the horse’s mouth. The expression “hold your horses” means to be patient and calm. “You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink” means you can give advice but cannot force others to do what they dislike. When someone keeps arguing about a settled question, he is beating a dead horse. As is known to all, a “dark horse” is a person who is not famous but wins unexpectedly. In Chinese culture, the horse is one of the 12 zodiac animals. The Year of the Horse stands for energy, speed, courage and success. Many Chinese sayings about horses carry warm wishes. For example, “Long ma jing shen” means keeping a vigorous spirit to fight on. “Ma dao cheng gong” means achieving success quickly. “Yi ma dang xian” means taking the lead. “Han ma gong lao” means a hard-working person makes great contributions. These sayings show love and respect for the spirit of the horse. During the Spring Festival, people like to use horse-shaped decorations, hoping for good luck and progress. Horses are deeply linked with history, culture and language. Whether in China or western countries, the horse stands for hard work, courage and hope. Understanding horse expressions helps us learn about different cultures better.* vigorous means full of energy and strength. * contributions mean something that you give or do to make something successful or better. 1．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A website message. B．A news magazine. C．An English program. D．A TV interview. 2．If you need to tell someone to be calm and patient, you can say “______”. A．Beat a dead horse B．Hold your horses C．You are a dark horse D．Get off your high horse 3．The author mentions both western and Chinese sayings about horses mainly to ______ A．stress that horses have a longer history in Chinese culture B．show that horses carry similar positive meanings across cultures C．explain how horses helped with transportation and farming D．encourage people to use Chinese idioms to express wishes in the Year of the Horse. 二、阅读表达 A （2025·山东滨州·中考真题）阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Some bright sparks (火花) light up the night sky, creating a fantastic rain of flowers. This exciting performance is Striking Iron Flower (打铁花). It is a traditional folk art form, and it has been around for more than 1,000 years in China. It is deeply rooted (根植) in traditional Chinese culture. Striking Iron Flower usually takes place during important festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival. People get together to watch this wonderful performance. The blooming (盛放的) sparks are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. Striking Iron Flower is a highly skilled performance. To begin with, the performers put waste iron in a big oven. Then, they heat the iron at a very high temperature until it becomes liquid (液体). Finally, they use special tools to splash (泼洒) the liquid iron into the air. When the liquid iron meets the cold air, it will turn into beautiful sparks. A performer needs to have strong arms, good skills and a lot of courage. It shows the creativity of Chinese working people.
