I once met with a difficulty in my life. It is so special that I will never forget the experience that I overcame my shyness and become confident. I still remember when I came to the new school, things didn’t go on as smoothly as I expected. I was afraid to speak English in public. In order to solve this dilemma, I took part in English-speaking clubs which is meaningful. As time went by, I became outgoing than before and made many friends who have the same interest as me.

He was not only knowledgeable but also a man of great 11. One day, Ji Zha was sent on a diplomatic mission to the Central States. On his way, he 12 the King of Xu. The king admired Ji Zha’s sword very much, but he was too shy to ask for it. Ji Zha noticed the king’s 13 and wanted to give him the sword. However, since he needed the sword for the mission, he didn’t give it to the king 14, but he made a promise in his heart. After finishing the mission, Ji Zha returned to Xu.1 5, the King of Xu had passed away. Ji Zha felt very sad. He then took off his sword and hung it on the tree beside the late king’s tomb. His followers were 16 and asked, “The king is dead. Why do you still do this?” Ji Zha replied calmly, “I didn’t give him the sword at that time 17 I had important business. But I had already promised him in my heart. How could I break my promise just because he died?” Later, people 18 Ji Zha’s story and praised him for his honesty. The story of “Ji Zha Hanging His Sword” has been 19 for thousands of years. It tells us that keeping one’s promise is the most important 20 a person should have. Even if a promise is not spoken out, it should be 21 as long as it is made in one’s heart. Ji Zha’s spirit of honesty has become a part of Changzhou’s culture. Today, many people in Changzhou still 22 his virtues, passing them down from generation to generation. 11. A. courage B. honesty C. wisdom D. humor 12. A. left B. visited C. missed D. forgot 13. A. wish B. anger C. fear D. stress 14. A. at first B. at last C. at times D. at once 15. A. Unluckily B. Luckily C. Suddenly D. Generally 16. A. excited B. surprised C. interested D. relaxed 17. A. though B. because C. so D. if 18. A. wrote B. changed C. heard D. forgot 19. A. passed down B. taken up C. turned down D. given up 20. A. secret B. rule C. quality D. problem 21. A. kept B. broken C. avoided D. discussed 22. A. learn B. refuse C. doubt D. follow 【答案】 11-15：B B A D A 16-20：B B C A C 21-22：A D 【详解】 11. B. honesty 语境推理：全文围绕季札“挂剑守信”展开，核心是“诚信”，且文末多次出现“honesty”“virtues”等呼应词，courage（勇气）、wisdom（智慧）、humor（幽默）均与主题不符。 12. B. visited 动词辨析：根据“On his way”（途中）与常识，季札出使途中“拜访”徐君，left（离开）、missed（错过）、forgot（忘记）均不符合情节逻辑。 13. A. wish 名词推理：前文说徐君“admired the sword very much, but too shy to ask”（很喜欢剑却不好意思开口），此处是季札察觉到他的“愿望”，anger（愤怒）、fear（恐惧）、stress（压力）均与语境矛盾。 14. D. at once 短语辨析：at once（立刻）对应“since he needed the sword for the mission”（因出使需要剑），说明他没立刻送剑；at first（起初）、at last（最后）、at times（有时）均不符合“因任务在身”的逻辑。 15. A. Unluckily 副词推理：季札返程时徐君已去世，是“不幸的”，Luckily（幸运地）、Suddenly（突然地）、Generally（通常）均不符合情感基调。 16. B. surprised 形容词辨析：随从不理解季札挂剑于亡君墓前的行为，所以是“惊讶的”；excited（兴奋的）、interested（感兴趣的）、relaxed（放松的）均与语境不符。 17. B. because 连词辨析：“没送剑”与“有重要事务”是因果关系，用because引导原因状语从句；though（尽管）表让步，so（所以）表结果，if（如果）表条件，均不符合逻辑。 18. C. heard 动词推理：人们“听说”了季札的故事并称赞他，wrote（写）、changed（改变）、forgot（忘记）均不符合“传播故事”的语境。 19. A. passed down 短语辨析：pass down（传承）对应“for thousands of years”（数千年），说明故事被世代流传；taken up（占据）、turned down（拒绝）、given up（放弃）均与“流传”无关。 20. C. quality 名词辨析：守信是一个人应具备的“品质”，secret（秘密）、rule（规则）、problem（问题）均不符合“个人品德”的定位。 21. A. kept 动词辨析：keep a promise（守信）是固定搭配，与前文“break my promise”（违背承诺）形成对比；broken（打破）、avoided（避免）、discussed（讨论）均搭配不当。 22. D. follow 动词辨析：follow virtues（践行美德）是固定表达，learn（学习）、refuse（拒绝）、doubt（怀疑）均不符合“传承文化”的语境。 三、阅读理解(共14小题；每小题2分，满分28分) 阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Many years ago, flying to another place sounded impossible. In fact, science has made it real. Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science? Sleeping BeautyCould anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born. Talking to animalsIn the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future. Super strengthIn fairy stories, the lucky ones found magic food to get power. But it’s a pity that scientists haven’t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That’s pretty super. Invisible coat (隐形衣)Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen. 23．What do bears and snakes probably do while sleeping through the winter? ①stop eating and drinking            ②slow down their breath ③hide in the dark                   ④dry themselves out ⑤lower body temperatures A．①②④ B．①②⑤ C．②④⑤ D．③④⑤ 24．According to the passage, what progress have scientists made? A．Helping people change skin colours. B．Talking to animals through programs. C．Getting super strength through machines. D．Making people sleep for months in winter. 25．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Sports. B．Travel. C．History. D．Science. 【答案】23．B 24．C 25．D 【导语】本文讲述了科学正在将幻想故事中的情节变为现实。 23．细节理解题。根据“Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink.”可知，熊和蛇在冬眠时会减缓呼吸、降低体温且不吃不喝，对应①②⑤。故选B。 24．细节理解题。根据“In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot.”可知，科学家已实现通过智能机器获得超强力量。故选C。 25．推理判断题。主要探讨科学如何让童话故事中的情节成为可能，涉及动物休眠、与动物交流、机械外骨骼、隐形衣等科学领域的内容。因此，这篇文章最可能来自杂志的科学版块。故选D。 B “Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 26．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 27．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 28．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 29．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style. B．Folk music with local colour. C．Country music in a Western style. D．Rock music with drums and dizi. 【答案】26．D 27．B 28．C 29．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了Kai在乐队表演中尝试将古琴与鼓的节奏结合，但未能很好地展现古琴特点，在老师们的评价和建议下，他思考如何平衡传统精神与现代元素。 26．细节理解题。根据“But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well”、“The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin”以及“I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks...we could hardly hear the guqin”可知老师认为Kai没有很好地展现古琴的价值。故选D。 27．细节理解题。根据“Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums”可知Kai和着鼓的节奏弹奏古琴，e排在首位，排除AD；根据“When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence”可知同学们沉默了一会儿，b排在第二，排除C。故选B。 28．推理判断题。根据“But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”以及“To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value.”可知在你打破规则之前，你必须掌握它们，为了使其现代化，试着找到正确的方法来保持价值，所以他从这次经历中学到的道理是：创新要求我们首先要理解传统。故选C。 29．推理判断题。根据“How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?”以及前文提到古琴可以与笛子一起演奏，可推断出在Kai的下一场演出中我们可能会听到传统风格的流行音乐，将传统古琴与现代流行元素结合。故选A。 C For those whose hearts often go off beat, pacemakers (心脏起搏器) are life savers. By providing a small electrical support at the right moment, they can keep a heart working properly. Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy, and changing the batteries requires operations. Since operations are usually best avoided, the search has been on for long-lasting batteries. Different choices have been explored for a long time. Today, pacemakers with lithium (锂) batteries last between 5 and 15 years. Zhang Hao, from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and Yang Bin, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, tried a way to refill a pacemaker’s battery with electricity (电) by getting energy from inside the body. They report in the magazine ACS Nano that they have also used the heart muscle (肌肉) itself to work. Earlier efforts by other scientists to use heart muscle power to run pacemakers depend on piezoelectric materials (压电材料). These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed (弯曲). This has worked, but not well enough: the output has rarely been over 5 microwatts (微瓦), while most pacemakers require at least ten. Dr Zhang and Dr Yang believed that they could improve matters by making their piezoelectric materials more dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced. They put their idea to the test in a 50kg pig. It made enough electricity for the pacemaker to work as expected. Whether such an idea will pass human tests remains to be seen. But if it does, the days of pacemakers that need battery changes through operations may not last long. 30．According to the first two paragraphs, what is a problem with pacemakers? A．They often go off beat. B．Their energy can be used up. C．Operations often influence them. D．They sometimes do harm to hearts. 31．From this passage, what do we know about piezoelectric materials? A．They can be used to produce electricity. B．They can deform the heart to make it beat faster. C．They were first used by Zhang Hao and Yang Bin. D．They were proved to produce 15 microwatts in human tests. 32．What does the word “dramatically” in the 4th paragraph most probably mean? A．Comfortably. B．Safely. C．Greatly. D．Rapidly. 33．What is the best title for this article? A．No Need to Use Pacemakers B．The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials C．The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations D．Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers 【答案】30．B 31．A 32．C 33．D 【导语】本文主要介绍中国科学家发现了一种改进心脏起搏器的新方法。 30．细节理解题。根据“Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy, and changing the batteries requires operations.”可知，心脏起搏器的问题是电池会耗尽电量，故选B。 31．细节理解题。根据“These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed (弯曲).”可知，这些材料在轻微弯曲时，能够与跳动的心脏相连并产生电能，所以压电材料可以被用来发电。故选A。 32．词句猜测题。根据“because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced”可知，因为变形程度越大，产生的电量就越多；可推测出“dramatically”意为“显著地”，与“greatly”意思相近。故选C。 33．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍中国科学家发现了一种改进心脏起搏器的新方法，D选项为最佳标题。故选D。 D “Did you even hear my question, Lucho?” asked Mr Parra. The students at the front of the class turned round to watch the show. They were all smiling. Eva Villa had turned to watch too, but she wasn’t smiling. For a moment Eva looked straight into Lucho’s dark sad eyes and he could feel his face turning bright red. Then she turned back to the front and said something to the girl sitting next to her. The girl laughed. Mr Parra walked towards Lucho’s desk. Lucho liked Mr Parra, although he didn’t like history class. There was too much information to remember. “Maybe you could tell us what I have been talking about for the last twenty minutes, Lucho, while you were looking out of the window,” said Mr Parra. Lucho’s heart felt heavy. He had no idea what to say. He looked down at his history textbook. The page was about “The stolen past” and there was a photograph of a gold object that looked very old. Next, he looked quickly at the board and saw one of Mr Parra’s favourite things: a mind map. Every time they had to write about something for homework, Mr Parra asked them to make a mind map. The mind map had four empty circles joined by four lines to a bigger circle in the centre. In the centre circle Mr Parra had written the word “guaca”. Lucho tried to remember where he had heard the word before. They were all waiting. Lucho looked out of the window for a second and saw a little yellow bird. Yes, that was it! Guaca was a word that his grandmother had used, but what did it mean? The class was still waiting for him to speak. Suddenly he heard the little yellow bird singing in the tree outside and he opened his mouth. “We were talking about guaca, sir,” he answered. “And what is guaca, Lucho?” Mr Parra asked. “Guaca means ‘special object’. An antique object that was made by South American tribes, usually from gold, sir.” Mr Parra looked surprised. He hadn’t expected Lucho to know the answer. The girl next to Eva turned to look at Lucho again. The rest of Lucho’s classmates had lost interest. Lucho felt better, but Mr Parra hadn’t finished with him yet. “That’s correct, Lucho,” said Mr Parra. “And what is today’s homework?” Homework? Lucho hadn’t heard Mr Parra talk about homework. He looked at the mind map on the blackboard again. Outside, the bird had stopped singing. 34．What did Mr Parra draw on the blackboard? A． B． C． D． 35．When Lucho’s heart felt heavy, he probably felt a sense of ________. A．peace B．pity C．hope D．shame 36．What is the best title for this story? A．A Strict Teacher B．The Yellow Bird C．A Special Object D．The Mind Map 【答案】34．C 35．D 36．D 【导语】本文讲述了在课堂上发生的一段小插曲：历史课上，Lucho因走神没听老师讲课，被老师提问过去二十分钟所讲的内容。Lucho起初不知如何回答，在看到黑板上的思维导图中心词“guaca”后，想起祖母曾用过这个词，结合历史课本上“被盗的过去”中关于古老金器的照片，他猜出“guaca”指的是由南美部落制作的特殊古物，通常由黄金制成，并给出了正确回答。然而，老师接着又问当天的作业是什么，Lucho因之前没听讲又看向了黑板上的思维导图。 34．细节理解题。根据“The mind map had four empty circles joined by four lines to a bigger circle in the centre.”可知，思维导图有四个空的圆圈，中间有一个更大的圆圈，由四条线连接在一起。与选项C相符。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据“Maybe you could tell us what I have been talking about for the last twenty minutes, Lucho, while you were looking out of the window,”及“Lucho’s heart felt heavy. He had no idea what to say.”可知，Lucho在老师讲课的时候，一直看着窗外，因此老师提问的时候，他感到很羞愧。故选D。 36．最佳标题题。本文讲述了一个名叫Lucho的学生在历史课上走神被老师提问后，如何通过黑板上的思维导图找到关键词“guaca”，并结合历史课本上“被盗的过去”中关于古老金器的照片，他猜出“guaca”指的是由南美部落制作的特殊古物，从而成功化解课堂尴尬的经历。因此“思维导图”作为贯穿全文的核心线索和叙事工具，不仅是Lucho找到答案的路线图，也是故事结尾处悬念（关于家庭作业）的焦点。故选D。 原创试题四、还原信息(共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Changzhou is a city with a long history and rich culture, and one of its most famous scenic spots is Yancheng Spring and Autumn Paradise. 37. ______ It is built around the ancient Yancheng site, which has a history of more than 2,500 years.

The park is located in the southern part of Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province. 逻辑衔接：前文介绍“常州著名景点是淹城春秋乐园”，后文紧接着说明“依托古淹城遗址而建”，此处需要补充景点的地理位置，引出后续对景点的详细介绍，F选项符合语境。A选项侧重面积与文化内涵，需在地理位置后展开；B、E为细节描述，不适合作为首句衔接。 38. A. It covers a large area and has rich cultural connotations. 细节呼应：后文提到“公园有20多个主题区域”，说明景点面积大、文化内涵丰富，A选项是对前文景点基础信息的进一步补充，与后文“主题区域多”的内容形成呼应。F已填地理位置，此处无需再重复位置信息；B侧重美食、D侧重城门后景观，均不符合本段总起逻辑。 39. D. Behind the city gate lies the core of the park’s attractions. 场景衔接：前文描述“走进公园先看到东周古城门”，后文介绍“公园有20多个主题区域”，此处需要承上启下，说明城门后的核心景观，D选项完美衔接“城门”与“主题区域”，符合场景推进逻辑。E侧重拍照，与后文主题区域衔接不紧密；B侧重美食，偏离场景描述主线。 40. C. The best time to visit the park is in spring when flowers are everywhere. 总结收束：后文围绕“适合不同人群游玩”展开，是对景点游玩价值的总结，前文需补充游玩最佳时机，C选项既符合语境，又与后文“轻松度过一天”形成呼应。剩余选项B（美食）、E（拍照）为细节信息，不适合作为结尾句总结全文。 第II卷 笔答题（满分34分） 五、阅读回答(共4小题；前3小题每题2分，第4小题3分，满分9分) 阅读下面短文，回答短文后的问题。(前3题每题答案不超过10个词)。 In today’s China, ordinary people can quickly become Internet celebrities (名人). The stories of “The Chicken Chop Brother” in Jingdezhen and “The Dough Figurine Master” in Wuhu are perfect examples. “Chicken Chop Brother” is a nickname for Mr. Li Junyong, a 48-year-old street vendor in Jingdezhen. In September 2025, a video of him selling chicken chops became popular online. What makes him so popular is his “special style”. While frying chicken, he talks to customers in a very funny and cheerful way, providing what people call great “emotional value”. He has become a local celebrity by following his own rules, like charging students one yuan less. His sudden fame has drawn huge crowds and many live-streamers to his stall (摊位). Seeing this opportunity, the local cultural and tourism department quickly appointed (任命) him as a “tourism promotion ambassador (旅游推广大使)” for Jingdezhen. This smart move helped turn his popularity into good attention for the whole city. In the ancient city of Wuhu, “Master Wang Jingyang”, a 58-year-old artisan, has drawn the public's attention with his skill recently. In November 2025, he was officially appointed as a “Cultural Tourism Recommendation Officer” for Wuhu City. Master Wang has been practicing his skill for over 40 years. His stall is now a must-visit spot, with long lines of customers waiting to buy his lively dough figurines (面人). His creations are a mix of traditional figures, like the Monkey King, and popular modern cartoon characters, such as Labubu, which makes his art interesting to everyone. The Wuhu government provided him with a lot of support, such as helping manage the crowds at his stall. Because of this good management, Master Wang’s personal success also made the city’s culture seem better and more famous. Their successes are more than just personal achievements. They represent a beautiful connection between traditional street culture and modern Internet trends. 41．Was “Chicken Chop Brother” appointed as a tourism promotion ambassador? 42．How long has Master Wang been practicing his skill? 43．What do “Chicken Chop Brother” and “Dough Figurine Master” have in common according to the passage? 44．Give an example around you who makes a difference to others and tell us what you learn from him/her. (about 30 words) 【答案】41．Yes, he was. 42．For over 40 years. 43．They are both Internet celebrities. They both bring benefits to their cities. 44．My teacher is such a person. She always helps us patiently, explains things clearly and encourages us when we fail. I learn to be kind, helpful and confident from her. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了“鸡排哥”和“面人王师傅”的案例，以此展现了普通人如何借助网络和地方支持成为网红，并推动城市文旅发展。 41．根据““Chicken Chop Brother” is a nickname for Mr. Li Junyong, ... the local cultural and tourism department quickly appointed (任命) him as a “tourism promotion ambassador (旅游推广大使)” for Jingdezhen.”可知，鸡排哥被选作旅游推广大使。故填Yes, he was. 42．根据“Master Wang has been practicing his skill for over 40 years.”可知，面人王师傅苦练技艺40多年。故填For over 40 years. 43．根据“In today’s China, ordinary people can quickly become Internet celebrities (名人).” 、“This smart move helped turn his popularity into good attention for the whole city.”和“Master Wang’s personal success also made the city’s culture seem better and more famous.”可知，他们都成为了网络红人，并且都为各自所在的城市带来了益处。故填They are both Internet celebrities. They both bring benefits to their cities. 44．根据题干，要求考生举一个身边给他人带来积极影响的例子，并讲出从他/她身上学到了什么，答案不唯一。故填My teacher is such a person. She always helps us patiently, explains things clearly and encourages us when we fail.

However, since he needed the sword for the mission, he didn’t give it to the king 14, but he made a promise in his heart. After finishing the mission, Ji Zha returned to Xu.1 5, the King of Xu had passed away. Ji Zha felt very sad. He then took off his sword and hung it on the tree beside the late king’s tomb. His followers were 16 and asked, “The king is dead. Why do you still do this?” Ji Zha replied calmly, “I didn’t give him the sword at that time 17 I had important business. But I had already promised him in my heart. How could I break my promise just because he died?” Later, people 18 Ji Zha’s story and praised him for his honesty. The story of “Ji Zha Hanging His Sword” has been 19 for thousands of years. It tells us that keeping one’s promise is the most important 20 a person should have. Even if a promise is not spoken out, it should be 21 as long as it is made in one’s heart. Ji Zha’s spirit of honesty has become a part of Changzhou’s culture.

In fact, science has made it real. Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science? Sleeping BeautyCould anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born. Talking to animalsIn the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future. Super strengthIn fairy stories, the lucky ones found magic food to get power. But it’s a pity that scientists haven’t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That’s pretty super. Invisible coat (隐形衣)Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen. 23．What do bears and snakes probably do while sleeping through the winter? ①stop eating and drinking            ②slow down their breath ③hide in the dark                   ④dry themselves out ⑤lower body temperatures A．①②④ B．①②⑤ C．②④⑤ D．③④⑤ 24．According to the passage, what progress have scientists made? A．Helping people change skin colours. B．Talking to animals through programs. C．Getting super strength through machines. D．Making people sleep for months in winter. 25．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Sports. B．Travel. C．History. D．Science. B “Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 26．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 27．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 28．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 29．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style.

By providing a small electrical support at the right moment, they can keep a heart working properly. Their main problem is that they use batteries. Even the best of them will run out of energy, and changing the batteries requires operations. Since operations are usually best avoided, the search has been on for long-lasting batteries. Different choices have been explored for a long time. Today, pacemakers with lithium (锂) batteries last between 5 and 15 years. Zhang Hao, from Shanghai Second Military Medical University, and Yang Bin, from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, tried a way to refill a pacemaker’s battery with electricity (电) by getting energy from inside the body. They report in the magazine ACS Nano that they have also used the heart muscle (肌肉) itself to work. Earlier efforts by other scientists to use heart muscle power to run pacemakers depend on piezoelectric materials (压电材料). These materials can be connected to a beating heart and produce electricity when they are slightly deformed (弯曲). This has worked, but not well enough: the output has rarely been over 5 microwatts (微瓦), while most pacemakers require at least ten. Dr Zhang and Dr Yang believed that they could improve matters by making their piezoelectric materials more dramatically deformed, and then produce 15 microwatts, because the more deformed, the more electricity will be produced. They put their idea to the test in a 50kg pig. It made enough electricity for the pacemaker to work as expected. Whether such an idea will pass human tests remains to be seen. But if it does, the days of pacemakers that need battery changes through operations may not last long. 30．According to the first two paragraphs, what is a problem with pacemakers? A．They often go off beat. B．Their energy can be used up. C．Operations often influence them. D．They sometimes do harm to hearts. 31．From this passage, what do we know about piezoelectric materials? A．They can be used to produce electricity. B．They can deform the heart to make it beat faster. C．They were first used by Zhang Hao and Yang Bin. D．They were proved to produce 15 microwatts in human tests. 32．What does the word “dramatically” in the 4th paragraph most probably mean? A．Comfortably. B．Safely. C．Greatly. D．Rapidly. 33．What is the best title for this article? A．No Need to Use Pacemakers B．The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials C．The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations D．Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers D “Did you even hear my question, Lucho?” asked Mr Parra. The students at the front of the class turned round to watch the show. They were all smiling. Eva Villa had turned to watch too, but she wasn’t smiling. For a moment Eva looked straight into Lucho’s dark sad eyes and he could feel his face turning bright red. Then she turned back to the front and said something to the girl sitting next to her. The girl laughed. Mr Parra walked towards Lucho’s desk. Lucho liked Mr Parra, although he didn’t like history class. There was too much information to remember. “Maybe you could tell us what I have been talking about for the last twenty minutes, Lucho, while you were looking out of the window,” said Mr Parra. Lucho’s heart felt heavy. He had no idea what to say. He looked down at his history textbook. The page was about “The stolen past” and there was a photograph of a gold object that looked very old. Next, he looked quickly at the board and saw one of Mr Parra’s favourite things: a mind map. Every time they had to write about something for homework, Mr Parra asked them to make a mind map. The mind map had four empty circles joined by four lines to a bigger circle in the centre. In the centre circle Mr Parra had written the word “guaca”. Lucho tried to remember where he had heard the word before. They were all waiting. Lucho looked out of the window for a second and saw a little yellow bird. Yes, that was it! Guaca was a word that his grandmother had used, but what did it mean? The class was still waiting for him to speak. Suddenly he heard the little yellow bird singing in the tree outside and he opened his mouth. “We were talking about guaca, sir,” he answered. “And what is guaca, Lucho?” Mr Parra asked. “Guaca means ‘special object’. An antique object that was made by South American tribes, usually from gold, sir.” Mr Parra looked surprised. He hadn’t expected Lucho to know the answer. The girl next to Eva turned to look at Lucho again. The rest of Lucho’s classmates had lost interest. Lucho felt better, but Mr Parra hadn’t finished with him yet. “That’s correct, Lucho,” said Mr Parra. “And what is today’s homework?” Homework? Lucho hadn’t heard Mr Parra talk about homework. He looked at the mind map on the blackboard again. Outside, the bird had stopped singing. 34．What did Mr Parra draw on the blackboard? A． B． C． D． 35．When Lucho’s heart felt heavy, he probably felt a sense of ________. A．peace B．pity C．hope D．shame 36．What is the best title for this story?

The stories of “The Chicken Chop Brother” in Jingdezhen and “The Dough Figurine Master” in Wuhu are perfect examples. “Chicken Chop Brother” is a nickname for Mr. Li Junyong, a 48-year-old street vendor in Jingdezhen. In September 2025, a video of him selling chicken chops became popular online. What makes him so popular is his “special style”. While frying chicken, he talks to customers in a very funny and cheerful way, providing what people call great “emotional value”. He has become a local celebrity by following his own rules, like charging students one yuan less. His sudden fame has drawn huge crowds and many live-streamers to his stall (摊位). Seeing this opportunity, the local cultural and tourism department quickly appointed (任命) him as a “tourism promotion ambassador (旅游推广大使)” for Jingdezhen. This smart move helped turn his popularity into good attention for the whole city. In the ancient city of Wuhu, “Master Wang Jingyang”, a 58-year-old artisan, has drawn the public's attention with his skill recently. In November 2025, he was officially appointed as a “Cultural Tourism Recommendation Officer” for Wuhu City. Master Wang has been practicing his skill for over 40 years. His stall is now a must-visit spot, with long lines of customers waiting to buy his lively dough figurines (面人). His creations are a mix of traditional figures, like the Monkey King, and popular modern cartoon characters, such as Labubu, which makes his art interesting to everyone. The Wuhu government provided him with a lot of support, such as helping manage the crowds at his stall. Because of this good management, Master Wang’s personal success also made the city’s culture seem better and more famous. Their successes are more than just personal achievements. They represent a beautiful connection between traditional street culture and modern Internet trends. 41．Was “Chicken Chop Brother” appointed as a tourism promotion ambassador? 42．How long has Master Wang been practicing his skill? 43．What do “Chicken Chop Brother” and “Dough Figurine Master” have in common according to the passage? 44．Give an example around you who makes a difference to others and tell us what you learn from him/her.

With the help of a phone app, Ms Wu 46 (patient) showed him the way to properly brew (沏) Biluochun, Suzhou’s famous green tea. Klaus returned every day that week and 47 (bring) more friends each time. Seeing how 48 (interest) they were in Chinese tea, Ms Wu started a weekly activity called “Tea Culture Saturdays”.

Soon, her tea house was always crowded with 51 (visit), including students and business people from many places. “I used to think foreigners wouldn’t understand our tea culture, 52 they love it deeply. Some of them even treat their friends with Chinese tea at home,” Ms Wu said. One of her favourite 53 (moment) was when Sarah, a Canadian, gave her a notebook filled with tea notes written in both English and Chinese. “This is why I keep teaching,” Ms Wu said, showing 54 treasured notebook.

However, since he needed the sword for the mission, he didn’t give it to the king 14, but he made a promise in his heart. After finishing the mission, Ji Zha returned to Xu.1 5, the King of Xu had passed away. Ji Zha felt very sad. He then took off his sword and hung it on the tree beside the late king’s tomb. His followers were 16 and asked, “The king is dead. Why do you still do this?” Ji Zha replied calmly, “I didn’t give him the sword at that time 17 I had important business. But I had already promised him in my heart. How could I break my promise just because he died?” Later, people 18 Ji Zha’s story and praised him for his honesty. The story of “Ji Zha Hanging His Sword” has been 19 for thousands of years. It tells us that keeping one’s promise is the most important 20 a person should have.

In fact, science has made it real. Could fantasy stories become true with the help of science? Sleeping BeautyCould anyone sleep for 100 years? Of course not. But some animals and plants sleep long. Bears and snakes sleep for months through the winter. They slow down their breath, lower body temperatures and don’t eat or drink. Some seeds can dry themselves out and hide in the dark for years. If scientists can move these characteristics to humans, Sleeping Beauty might be born. Talking to animalsIn the real world, talking to animals isn’t easy, but scientists are working towards it. Tiny cameras have collected thousands of hours’ animal conversations. Then, special programs connect the sounds to possible meanings. These programs may let us talk back to animals in the future. Super strengthIn fairy stories, the lucky ones found magic food to get power. But it’s a pity that scientists haven’t invented any magic food that can make us strong in a second. In fact, we can get super strength with the help of smart machines. Mechanical exoskeletons (机械的外骨骼) are like wearing a robot. They can be used to help people with disabilities walk easily. That’s pretty super. Invisible coat (隐形衣)Some animals are quite good at changing colours to hide themselves. If you want to have an invisible coat, here is good news for you! Scientists have invented new materials that can change the directions of light around objects. So far, they have managed to hide tiny objects. Hiding larger objects, such as humans, is even harder, but the new materials could cover our coat and make us at least harder to be seen. 23．What do bears and snakes probably do while sleeping through the winter? ①stop eating and drinking            ②slow down their breath ③hide in the dark                   ④dry themselves out ⑤lower body temperatures A．①②④ B．①②⑤ C．②④⑤ D．③④⑤ 24．According to the passage, what progress have scientists made? A．Helping people change skin colours. B．Talking to animals through programs. C．Getting super strength through machines. D．Making people sleep for months in winter. 25．Which part of a magazine is the passage most probably taken from? A．Sports. B．Travel. C．History. D．Science. B “Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 26．In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A．play the drums well B．work well with others C．express personal feelings D．show the guqin’s value 27．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A．a-e-d-c-b B．e-b-d-c-a C．e-a-b-d-c D．a-b-d-e-c 28．What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A．Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B．Traditional instruments should be modernized. C．Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D．The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education. 29．What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A．Pop music in a traditional style. B．Folk music with local colour. C．Country music in a Western style. D．Rock music with drums and dizi. C For those whose hearts often go off beat, pacemakers (心脏起搏器) are life savers.

A．No Need to Use Pacemakers B．The Problem with Piezoelectric Materials C．The Contribution of Chinese Scientists to Heart Operations D．Chinese Scientists Found a New Way to Improve Pacemakers D “Did you even hear my question, Lucho?” asked Mr Parra.
