Passage 1
(2026·安徽蚌埠·一模)
Everyone is born with the ability to learn. But whether or not you can do this well depends on your learning habits. Research shows that successful learners have some good habits in common.
Creating an interest in what they learn
Studies show that if you are interested in something, your brain’s more active and it is also easier for you to pay attention to it for a long time. In some ways, good learners often connect what they need to learn with something interesting.
Practicing and learning from mistakes
Good learners think about what they are good at and what they need to practice more. Remember, “Use it or lose it.” Even if you learn something well, you will forget it unless you use it. Good learners will keep practicing what they have learned, and they are not afraid of making mistakes.
Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps.
They also look for some other ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student for further understanding.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.

Whether you are setting up a club or organizing a volunteer activity, creating a poster can be useful and fun. But do you know how to make a poster? Here are some tips for you.
※ Know your poster’s readers
If you don’t know who you’re designing for, your design won’t achieve the result you expect. Before you start to design a poster, the first step is to know your poster’s readers. Take a moment to think about who your ideal readers are, and what their needs, challenges, and pain points are.
※ Present the key information
A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words. Your design doesn’t need a lot of text to say something. Less is often more when it comes to posters. Put the important messages in the center of the poster. You can also highlight (突出) them so that readers can understand the key points at a glance.
※ Write an outline (提纲)
You need to write an outline before you make a poster. Consider the information you need to include. It usually includes a title, the purpose, the event date, the event place and how to join. List the steps as clearly as possible so that you can be organized when designing the poster.
※ Choose your colors
Your choice of colors is probably the first thing your readers will notice about your poster, so it’s important to get it right. One method we suggest using is the 60-30-10 color rule. Your main color should take up 60 percent of your poster design, while the other two colors can take up 30 and 10 percent.
Now you can start creating your own poster!
1.What should you do before designing a poster?
A.Decide where to put your poster. B.Consider the readers of your poster.

主题02 人与自我-健康
Passage 1
(2026·山东济宁·一模)
China is actively working to help people control their weight and live healthier lives. The government started a three-year weight-control plan from 2024 to 2027 to fight against obesity. Obesity can cause serious health problems like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease. Here’s what you should know about the new guidelines (指导纲领).
First, it’s important to check your BMI (身体质量指数). For adults (成年人), a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 23.9. If your BMI is between 24 and 27.9, you are overweight. 28 or above means obesity.
Both eating well and exercise are important. Choose healthy foods like brown rice, fresh vegetables, fish, chicken and beans. Stay away from fried and sugary treats (甜食), and also eat less salt and oil. Surprisingly, local favorites like Northeast China’s stewed fish (炖鱼) and Northwest China’s chili-oil noodles (油泼面) are part of the healthy eating list.
For exercise, try to do 150—300 minutes of activities like walking or dancing weekly, and do strength training twice a week. For example, if you study for long, stand up and exercise for 3—5 minutes every hour. Shanghai schools now make sure students exercise for at least two hours daily.
Small daily habits can also make a big difference. Teens (青少年) should get eight hours’ sleep every night because bad sleep can make you increase weight. Try to eat vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread during a meal to control how much you eat. In short, small changes like choosing water instead of cola or taking stairs can lead to a healthier you.
1.If a man’s BMI is ________, it means he is healthy.
A.22.5 B.25 C.28 D.33

Passage 4
(2026·广东深圳·一模)
Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity. This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. It could take as many as three weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music(民间音乐)are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume(音量)right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly dies down. Otherwise, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It is very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland!

Passage 5
(2026·河北唐山·一模)
Have you ever been full of curiosity about the world and always liked to ask “why” when you were a child? Curiosity is the drive to explore and learn.
Curiosity helps the brain to take in new information. For students, curiosity is like a mind superpower. At the same time, curiosity is also a process of actively looking for answers. When you're truly curious about a topic, it becomes easier and more effective for your brain to take in and keep new information.
Curiosity also leads to more exciting ideas. Curiosity encourages students to go beyond “what is taught” and ask “what if”. Instead of simply accepting information, a curious student studies it and looks at it from different sides. This habit of thinking leads to more interesting ideas because it connects knowledge from different subjects.
Curiosity encourages active learning and helps discover your career interests. When Qian Xuesen was young, he was curious about why paper planes could fly and how to make them fly farther. Driven by this curiosity, he worked hard and became a great scientist. This curiosity about one thing will keep you learning, and maybe that interest will shape your future career.
So how to develop your curiosity? One effective method is to ask open-ended questions. For example, instead of asking, “Did you enjoy the training?”, one might ask, “Which aspects of the training did you find most interesting?” Looking for new ideas is another important strategy (策略) for developing curiosity. Besides, jumping out of one's comfort zone (舒适区) is also important for developing curiosity.
As Richard Feynman said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” Therefore, keep a curious mind. You never know where it may lead you!
1.How does curiosity act on the brain according to the text?
A.It makes the brain more relaxed and active.
B.It pushes the brain to remember details more clearly.
C.It allows the brain to focus on what you are learning.
D.It helps the brain take in and keep new information more easily.
2.What are curious students like?
A.They usually learn a thing more quickly than others.
B.It is easy for them to choose their own careers.
C.They often consider a thing from different sides.
D.They are used to accepting information directly.
3.What do the underlined words “open-ended questions” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Questions that have no clear answers.
B.Questions that will get short answers.
C.Questions that require you to think twice to answer.
D.Questions that need more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.
4.What is the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1, …)
A.①-②③④-⑤⑥ B.①-②③-④⑤-⑥ C.①②-③④-⑤⑥ D.①-②③④⑤-⑥
5.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Power of a Curious Mind B.A Study on How Curiosity Works
C.Ways to Come Up with New Ideas D.The Influence of Curiosity on Future Jobs

Passage 1
(2026·江苏扬州·一模)
The 2026 Government Work Report clearly says that China will support qualified (符合条件的) areas to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students, while putting into practice the wrong-time paid leave system for workers. As a hot topic, the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience.
These short holidays bring many good points to students. They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With nice and comfortable weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities, including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning. In this way, book knowledge is turned into real-life experience.
The holidays also bring good points to families. Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, making family ties closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society.
However, difficulties still exist in the policy’s carrying out. The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities offer more activities for students. The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations.
In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change. They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development. With joint efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way.
1.Why are the holidays good for society and education?
A.They make schools have longer teaching time.
B.They help develop local tourism and create a win-win situation.
C.They let parents spend less time with their children.
D.They make people travel only during busy seasons.
2.What does the writer imply (暗示) about the future of this policy?
A.It will be cancelled soon because of the high cost.
B.It will be more successful with the help of the whole society.
C.Students will hate the holidays because of too much homework.
D.Parents will refuse to take their children out during the holidays.
3.What can we know about the challenges of the policy?
A.Schools can do nothing to help working parents.
B.Many working parents have difficulty looking after their kids.
C.The holidays must be set in the same way across the country.
D.Communities don’t offer any activities for students.
4.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
Passage 2
(2026·浙江金华·一模)
Long lines for food have become common in cities around the world. Tourists often wait in line for snacks that are not necessarily tasty or healthy. These are usually simple things such as donuts (甜甜圈), fries, or sandwiches.
While the food may be tasty, something else is behind the growing lines.
One reason might be FOMO—fear of missing out. When people see a long line, they think, “There must be something special here,” and don’t want to miss an experience that everyone else seems to be enjoying. So, they join the line, just in case.
But FOMO is only part of the story.
These days, people don’t just travel to taste new food or see new places—they also want to show others what they are doing. Many tourists film themselves standing in line or take selfies (自拍) with their
food. Sometimes, it’s not even about enjoying the snack—it’s about showing they were there.
Most viral snacks are discovered on social media, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram showing people what is popular based on their interests. These apps often suggest the same food places to millions of users, and as a result, many tourists end up visiting the same places they saw online.
However, this can also bring problems, and locals in tourist—heavy areas are starting to push back. In Amsterdam, for example, people living near the popular fries shop Fabel Friet say the crowds and noise are too much. They’ve also asked the city to control the number of tourists who can visit the city each year.
In the end, these long lines are not just about food—they are about being part of something and sharing it with others.
1.Which situation best shows the meaning of FOMO?
A.Sam joins his friends to wait for a new snack, afraid to be left out.
B.Amy checks food reviews carefully before trying a new snack.
C.Emma refuses to buy a popular drink because it’s too expensive.
D.Mark leaves the long line quickly because he can’t stand waiting for 10 minutes.
2.What does the underlined words “viral snacks” mean?
A.Snacks that are healthy, tasty and popular online.
B.Snacks that have a long history and are loved by locals.
C.Snacks that are made with something bad for health.
D.Snacks that spread quickly online and then become very popular.
3.Which picture is most likely the illustration (插图) of this passage?
A. B. C. D.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To tell tourists how to avoid waiting in long lines.
B.To introduce some popular snacks around the world.
C.To advise social media to stop sharing popular food places.
D.To explain why long lines for food happen and the problems they cause.

Passage 2
(2026·陕西宝鸡·一模)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now common in daily life and helps students a lot. Unlike old tools, it learns from information and offers personal help. For example, AI English apps can point out pronunciation and grammar mistakes, then create special exercises for you.
Zhang Hua, a 15-year-old from Xi’an, used to be weak in English writing. Last term, his teacher suggested an AI writing helper. Zhang first used it to check spelling, then found it could also suggest better words and sentences. “It’s like having a teacher available anytime,” he said.
However, using AI well takes skill. Some students let AI write entire articles or solve problems, which harms independent thinking. Zhang’s way is better: he finishes his work first, then uses AI to check and improve. “AI is a helper, not a replacement (替代品). I still must think and practice myself,” he explained.
Schools now guide students to use AI properly—for example, to save time on routine tasks like checking answers. This gives students more time for creative thinking. As technology grows, AI will keep changing the way we learn. But the rule remains: use it wisely, and keep working hard yourself.
1.Zhang Hua first used the AI writing helper to ________.
A.check spelling B.find grammar mistakes
C.suggest better sentences D.write articles for him
2.What is the right way to use AI according to the passage?

B.Use AI after finishing your own work.
C.Depend on AI to solve difficult problems.
D.Ask AI to write complete homework.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.AI can solve all learning problems for students.
B.Schools should stop students from using new technology.
C.Zhang Hua became the best English writer with AI’s help.
D.AI is a helpful tool but students must still think for themselves.

(2026·四川南充·一模)
Have you heard of “AI self-study rooms”? It is a new business model in education, which has recently appeared in China. It is getting more and more attention, but people hold different opinions about it.
AI self-study rooms bring together AI learning tools, study monitors (监控) and a good learning environment. Students take online classes and do exercises with learning machines. At the same time, monitors help keep order. They also use AI to find students’ weak points and make personalized study plans for them.
A parent told Global Times that AI learning machines are more interactive than common online courses. They can analyze students’ learning and give them proper and challenging questions to reach their learning goals. “Now, students in the countryside can do virtual (虚拟的) biology experiments through AI self-study rooms. This was impossible before because of limited local resources,” said a teacher from Qinghai.
Some people praise AI self-study rooms for their advantages, but others think they are just for show. Some students say some AI learning machines are not smart enough. They cannot teach students in different ways and only give mechanical practice. Their updates are slow, and their fixed question banks often have mistakes, which may mislead students.
As for the price, it costs 200 yuan per hour on weekends and it is 20% off on weekdays. “We can’t afford this service. We have to think carefully about whether the price is worth the learning effect,” a parent from Jiangsu told Global Times.
“I believe AI is helpful to education. But as a new business, AI self-study rooms still face problems, such as poor integration (融合) and unbalanced quality. With continuous technology development, AI learning will become more important in the future,” said Professor Huang from the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic?
A.By telling a story. B.By showing a fact.
C.By asking a question. D.By giving an example.
2.What can we learn about AI self-study rooms according to the passage?
A.Only AI learning tools can be used in the rooms.
B.Rural students can do more real experiments than before.
C.All the AI machines work very well and have no wrong questions.
D.Monitors can use AI to make personal study plans for students.
3.How much will you spend studying in AI self-study rooms for 2 hours on Friday?
A.160 yuan. B.240 yuan. C.320 yuan. D.400 yuan.
4.What is Professor Huang’s attitude toward AI learning?
A.He is against it. B.He is hopeful about it.
C.He doesn’t care about it. D.He doesn’t give his idea.

Passage 4
(2026·四川南充·一模)
Nowadays, many young people are busy with their work and have no time to shop every day. They often buy enough food for at least a week. However, eating food that is not stored properly may cause illness. The fridge is very helpful in keeping food safe and fresh, but it cannot keep all food in good condition. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly in your fridge.
The temperature in the fresh-keeping area is different on different shelves. Generally, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So you can put different food on proper shelves according to the temperature.
Ready-to-eat food such as hamburgers, pizza or cream cakes had better be put on the top shelves. The middle shelves are suitable for dairy products (乳制品) like cheese, butter and yogurt. Bottom shelves are the coldest, so they are perfect for raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻室) for storing these things, and you can make good use of it.
Keeping food in the fridge cannot kill bacteria (细菌), but it can slow down their growth. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃ and 60℃. This is the Temperature Danger Zone. To keep food in good condition, the temperature in the fresh-keeping area needs to be between 0℃ and 5℃. The freezer temperature should be below -18℃.

OpenClaw: The Viral AI Agent Igniting a National “Lobster” Craze
In early March 2026, an open-source AI tool called OpenClaw became very popular in China. People call it “the Lobster” because its icon is a red lobster. It started a nationwide trend called “raising lobsters”—that means installing (安装), setting up, and customizing (定制) the tool. Thousands of tech fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and paid setup services also became popular online quickly.
Unlike common chatbots like ChatGPT, OpenClaw is made to do real work. It can run locally on many operating systems and works well with everyday office software. It can automatically (自动地) do data analysis, edit documents, and fix code, acting as a useful “digital worker”. This change from just talking to doing things has made people want more compatible (兼容的) devices; Apple’s Mac mini, a good choice for local use, has sold out all over the world. Big tech companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setup to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful policies to support related research and new ideas.
However, fast growth also brings big risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has warned that wrong setup may cause cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for expensive language model APIs.
As international media said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work much better. But to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must mix technology innovation, Internet safety, and cost control together.
1.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.OpenClaw will completely replace human office workers in the near future.
B.ChatGPT will soon be out of date because of the appearance of OpenClaw.
C.Local governments are the main force driving the development of OpenClaw.
D.The release of OpenClaw has had a direct influence on the sales of some compatible devices.
2.Why do some multinational corporations stop the internal use of OpenClaw?
A.Because they worry about the high costs of paid language model APIs.
B.Because they think OpenClaw is not as efficient as traditional office software.
C.Because they are concerned about potential cyberattacks and data leakage risks.
D.Because they believe OpenClaw is not popular enough among their employees.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards OpenClaw?
A.Strongly against it. B.Fully supportive.
C.Objective and balanced. D.Uninterested and indifferent.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The history of AI chatbots in China. B.How to use OpenClaw to finish office work.
C.The popularity, functions, risks and future of OpenClaw. D.The reasons why multinational companies ban OpenClaw.

Passage 1
(2026·甘肃白银·一模)
We use energy every day. Energy makes things move. It makes light. It makes heat and cold. Energy gives us the power to run machines. It makes our homes nice to live in.
Sometimes your home gets cold. You can just turn up the heat! Your home has a machine that blows warm air into each room. Heating your home takes a lot of energy. In fact, it is usually your home’s biggest use of energy. Your home may have machines that cool the air, too.
At night, your home gets dark. You can just turn on a lamp! Your lamp needs energy to work. The energy moves through wires (电线) inside your walls. The wires are attached (连接) to the lamp. Energy travels to a bulb (灯泡). That is the glass part in the lamp. Energy makes the bulb give out light.
Wires send energy all around your home. They send energy to your stove (厨灶). They send energy to your washing machine. They send energy to your computer. All of these machines use energy. They have wires inside the walls. Energy stays there until you turn something on.
You might get dirty after playing. You can just take a bath or shower. You probably like warm water. A machine called a water heater makes the water warm for your bath or shower. It also heats water for doing the laundry. Some clothes must be cleaned with warm water in the washing machine.
Energy is so important in our daily lives. However, energy may be harder to get in the future. We should use energy carefully. Turn off the lights. Shut off machines we are not using. Open a window if we feel warm. We will help our home save energy.
1.What usually uses the most energy in your home, according to the passage?

You probably remember the Flaming Mountains from Journey to the West. But do you know where the real Flaming Mountains are? They are in Turpan (吐鲁番), in the east of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
It’s known as one of the hottest areas in the world. The desert sand can be as hot as 80℃ in midsummer. That’s enough to make your feet burn! It may sound crazy, but the locals can cook an egg on the desert sand. Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year. It is one of the driest places in China. How do people survive in such a terrible climate? The secret lies in the ancient karez (坎儿井) system.
The karez system, in Turpan includes more than 1,000 wells (井). They appear every 20-30 metres. Some of them are 100 metres deep! Under these wells are large underground canals (运河). Water from the mountains falls into the wells. It then runs underground in the canals. It is kept cool and safe from the desert heat. There are over 5,000 km of underground canals in the area. That’s nearly as long as the Yellow River! Thanks to the karez system, people can grow plants for food in this difficult environment. And amazingly, all of this was completed with only hand tools! No wonder it’s among the top three projects of ancient China.
Today, the area faces a water shortage. There is less water from the mountains, lower rainfall and a large increase in water use. Although modern technology is solving some problems, the karez system still plays an important role. Now, more and more young people are taking action to protect it. The centuries-old water system will surely be carried into the future.

Our earth is facing serious environmental problems, such as pollution and climate change. To protect our planet, more countries are turning to green technology. It helps produce energy with less pollution and protects nature.
Solar power is one of the most popular kinds of green technology. It uses sunlight to produce electricity. Many families put solar panels (太阳能板) on their houses. They can make electricity for their own use and even send extra energy back to the city’s power system.
Wind power is also widely used. Tall wind turbines (发电机) catch wind energy and turn it into electricity. Places with strong wind are great for setting up wind farms. This kind of energy is clean and will never run out.
Besides, new energy vehicles (车), such as electric cars, are becoming more common. They run on electricity instead of gas, so they produce almost no air pollution. More charging (充电) stations are being built to meet the growing need.
However, green technology also has problems. For example, solar panels and wind turbines need much space and cost a lot. But as technology improves, these problems will be solved little by little.
Green technology is not just a choice but a necessary way for humans to live in harmony with nature.

①Tools are usually thought of as human inventions. But did you know that many animals also use tools to solve problems?
②Chimpanzees, for example, use grass sticks to catch small insects (昆虫). They know where these insects live and put a stick into the insects’ home. After waiting for the insects to climb onto the stick, the chimpanzees pull it out and eat them. This makes a tasty meal! When chimpanzees have trouble reaching water, they use leaves as tools. They push leaves into hard-to-reach places,letting the leaves take in water, and then eat the leaves to get the water. They also use sticks for digging.
③The green heron (绿鹭) uses bait to catch fish just as humans use bait on the end of a fishing pole (钓竿). The heron does this by picking up a small object with its beak (喙). It flies over the water and drops the object onto the surface. In the water, fish see the object and swim toward it. The heron waits for fish to swim close to the surface. Then it drops down and catches the fish.
④Some animals use tools for more than getting food and water. Some use leaves to deal with cuts or clean themselves, and others use thin sticks to clean teeth. The elephant is one of the cleverest animals. It puts grass and branches (树枝) together, and then uses this tool to drive away flies. When needed, this tool can also be used as a back scratcher (挠痒工具).
⑤These are just some examples of how animals use tools. Scientists keep finding more such cases every day. Each time they see animals using tools, it makes them think again about how smart animals really are.

People often call dogs “man’s best friends”. Now, a study shows why they are really our best friends. Scientists at UCLA Medical Center in California say dogs can help people feel better and stay healthy.
In the study, scientists watched 76 patients with heart problems. They put the patients into three groups. One group got visits from people who brought dogs. Another group got visits from people without dogs. The last group had no visitors at all. The scientists wrote down how the patients felt before, during, and after the visits.
The scientists found that patients who got visits from people with dogs felt better. They were 24 percent less nervous than before. The group that got only people’s visits felt 10 percent less nervous. The group without visitors felt the most nervous. After just 12 minutes with the dogs, the patients’ hearts worked better.
The scientists showed the study to the American Heart Association and the Pet Care Trust Foundation paid for the study. The dogs used in the study were therapy (治疗) dogs. Therapy dogs were trained to be calm and kind to patients. Some of the dogs were big and some were small.
Many people know that animals are helpful. Trained monkeys can carry things for disabled people. ________ Some hospitals even bring in animals, like horses, to cheer up kids who are sick.
Before the study, there wasn’t much proof (证据) that therapy animals could make people healthier. Nurse Kathie M. Cole, who worked on the study, hopes doctors will see how good animals can be for patients. “Dogs are a great comfort (安慰),” she said. “They help people feel happier and loved. That is really important when someone is nervous or not feeling well.”

Most people know that pets can bring joy to our lives. But few realize that keeping a pet can also bring great health benefits. Scientists have found that pet owners are often healthier and happier than those without pets.
One way pets help is by reducing stress. When you play with a dog or cat, your body produces a chemical that makes you feel relaxed. This can lower your blood pressure and help reduce feelings of anxiety (焦虑).
Pets also encourage us to be more active. Dog owners, for example, need to take their pets for walks regularly. This means more exercise, which is good for heart and bone health. Studies show that pet owners take an average of 2,000 more steps a day than non-pet owners.
There are other benefits too. Children who grow up with pets are less likely to develop allergies (过敏) and asthma (哮喘). Pets can also speed up recovery (康复) from illness. Hospitals in some countries even allow small pets like rabbits to help patients feel better during treatment.
So, if you’re thinking about getting a pet, remember—it’s not just a friend, but also a health helper.
1.The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A.problems B.worries C.interests D.advantages

Is there a special animal in your life? A beloved friend with a waggy (摇晃的) tail that fills your heart with joy at the end of the day, or a trusted friend whose soft, warm fur (皮毛) brings you comfort when you’re feeling blue? If you’re thinking about getting your first pet, it is important to decide which animal is right for you and your family. Try this quiz (测试) to see what pet might be right for you.
After choosing the type of pet, you’ll find your perfect match. Would you prefer a playful young one or a calmer adult? You might also consider rehoming a pet from a rescue (救援) center, offering it a loving second chance.
The day you bring your new friend home is exciting for everyone, but it can feel a bit scary for the animal itself. Do you remember your first week at school? Your pet probably feels the same mix of nervousness and curiosity in a new environment. To help it feel at home, introduce it gently to all family members. Provide a quiet, safe space for it to get used to everything. A familiar toy from its old home can offer great comfort. Be patient as it learns the new rules, like where to eat or go to the toilet.
Once your pet gets used to its new home, remember the responsibilities you’ve taken on. It’s up to you to keep it clean, healthy and happy through play, proper diet, and normal checks. It’s daunting, being responsible for a whole new life, but it should be a fun adventure (探险). Don’t forget to enjoy the special moments with your new friend.
Most importantly, remember what’s at the heart of the animal-human relationship: love. Your pet will give it to you unconditionally, and by returning that love with care and respect, you’ll build a lasting friendship.
1.What is the most important step before getting your first pet according to the passage?
A.Going to a rescue center or a pet store. B.Deciding which animal fits your family.

Passage 1
(2026·山东济南·一模)
Have you ever had a bad day and been told, “You’ll feel better in the morning”? Well, science says that might actually be true!
A study from the University College London (UCL) found that people generally feel better in the morning and worse at night. This research offers clear evidence that our emotions follow a daily cycle we may not fully understand. The study looked at nearly 1 million survey replies from 50,000 adults over two years. Researchers asked people questions like, “In the past week, how happy did you feel?” and “How satisfied have you been with your life?” The large number of participants (参加者) made the results highly reliable. They found that happiness, life satisfaction and general well-being were highest for people who answered the survey in the morning. But the feeling decreased as the day went on, reaching its lowest point around midnight.
Scientists believe our body’s biological clock plays a big role in this. It controls when we wake up and when we feel sleepy, and it also influences our mood. Cortisol (皮质醇), a hormone (荷尔蒙) that controls mood and emotions, is at its highest in the morning and drops at night. This could explain why people feel better at the start of the day and worse later on.
Other factors (因素) can also influence our mood. For example, our daily routines, work and social lives change between weekdays and weekends, and that can influence how we feel. This is also supported by the study’s findings, because happiness and life satisfaction were higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays. And Tuesdays were the happiest day of the week. Seasons influence our mood as well—people feel happier and less worried in spring, summer and autumn compared to winter. However, the time of day still influences our mood, no matter the season.
These findings could help mental health services, says UCL’s Feifei Bu. If people feel worse at night, she said, more support should be available during those hours.
1.What do we know about the study from UCL?
A.It lasted for less than one year in London.
B.It asked 50,000 adults for information.
C.It showed people felt worst on Friday nights.
D.It studied the mood changes of 1 million adults.
2.What does the underlined word “decreased” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Disappeared. B.Failed. C.Passed. D.Dropped.
3.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How social activities improve people’s health.
B.Why cortisol, a hormone controls emotions.
C.What influences people’s mood changes.
D.How the researchers do the study on feelings.
4.How does the writer develop paragraph 4?
A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples. C.By asking questions. D.By telling stories.
5.What can be a suitable title for the text?

Passage 2
(2026·广东湛江·一模)
Have you ever wondered if the colour of our bedroom can influence how well we sleep? ▲ They say that colours can easily influence our moods (心情). So, what bedroom colours should we choose for a good sleep?
We usually think blue can make us relax. So we often use blue to paint our bedroom. Blue makes us think of calm things like the sea or the sky. It can even help make our heartbeats (心跳) slower, which helps us relax.
Like blue, green can also be a good choice for a bedroom colour. It brings a touch of nature into our room. This relaxing colour can bring peace, hope, and happiness to people, making them feel like being outside in a quiet garden.
If you’re not interested in blue or green, don’t worry. A simple white room can also create a good sleep environment. It keeps the brain from getting too active, and gets us ready for sleep.
However, warm colours might not be good for sleep. Colours like red, orange, and yellow have long wavelengths (波长). These colours are very stimulating—they’re like a wake-up call for our brain, so we’d better avoid these colours.
The right bedroom colour is a helper for a good sleep. However, personal need is the most important. If you prefer a colour that’s not mentioned, that’s okay! After all, a bedroom should be a place where we feel relaxed and comfortable. So, when choosing a bedroom colour, think about your own feelings.

Passage 3
(2026·广东阳江·一模)It’s getting colder outside, and it’s time for the flu and cold season. Why do people get more colds and flu when it’s very cold outside?
In a new study, scientists have found the answer. It turns out that the cold air itself hurts the immune response (免疫反应) in our noses.
When a virus (病毒) goes into the nose, the nose can find it, and the cells (细胞) there begin to create billions of simple copies of themselves called extracellular vesicles (EVs细胞外小泡).
“EVs can’t divide like cells, but they can kill the viruses,” said Benjamin Bleier, the writer of the study from Harvard Medical School. “They catch the viruses as you breathe them in. Then, the viruses sticking to EVs will be thrown out from our body in the form of snot (鼻涕).”
However, when cold weather hits, the nose’s “super power” becomes less powerful. The study found that when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5°C, nearly 50 percent of the billions of EVs will be taken out of the fight. “Cold air makes you catch viruses more easily because you have lost half of your immunity (免疫力),” said Bleier.
This is why we should wear masks (口罩) in winter. “Wearing masks not only can protect us from viruses, but it’s also like wearing a sweater on the nose,” Bleier said.
In the future, Bleier expects to see the development of nasal medications (鼻腔用药). “Scientists may find a way to fool the nose into thinking it has just seen a virus,” Bleier said.
1.What does the underlined word “themselves” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.The viruses. B.The noses.
C.The cells in our noses. D.The immune responses in our noses.
2.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A.What EVs are like. B.Where we can find EVs.
C.Why it is easy to lose EVs. D.How EVs get the viruses out of the body.
3.How many EVs will you lose when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5°C?
A.Fifty billion EVs. B.About half of the EVs in the nose.
C.All of the EVs in the nose. D.Five percent of the EVs in the nose.
4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.EVs can help people kill all kinds of viruses.
B.EVs work in the same way as the cells in the nose.
C.Bleier doesn’t feel hopeful about the development of nasal medications.
D.The warmer we keep our noses, the better they work to fight against viruses.
5.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Why do people get more colds and flu in winter?
B.Why do people feel cold in winter?
C.How do people make noses throw out viruses?
D.How do people keep noses warm?

①Have you ever watched livestreaming shows before? Do you know that livestreaming (直播) has played an important role in saving and protecting our traditional art? Nowadays, more and more traditional artists start to livestream on video platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou.
②Li Jun is a laosheng (old male role) Peking Opera performer. The 59-year-old man took up his smartphone and started livestreaming 3 years ago. Li usually uses common places as his stage, including his backyard, study room and bedroom. Apart from singing, Li also teaches people about Peking Opera. People can ask him questions and get answers quickly. “Livestreaming has brought this fabulous art down to earth,” one man said. “It gives young people an easier way to get closer to this amazing traditional art and learn more about it.” Li has more than 6,000 fans on Douyin, while one of his videos got 42,000 views on Bilibili.
③From streets and tea houses to radios and TVs, crosstalk, or Xiangsheng has been developing for many years. These days, it has found a new stage, livestreaming. Gao Xiaopan is a 35-year-old crosstalk performer. He is a member of the Hip-Hop Crosstalk Club in Beijing, which is popular for its offline shows. But now he has moved his crosstalk shows online. During a show on Douyin, Gao showed traditional crosstalk skills, but also added something new, such as guitar, rap and dance. The show attracted more than 1.2 million people to watch at the same time, which would be impossible in theaters.

Shenzhen is putting the final touches on its preparation for the 34th APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, scheduled to take place on November 18-19, 2026. Besides its cityscape and rapid economic (经济) growth, the city is determined to show its social civilization (社会文明) to the Asia-Pacific region.
Known as one of China’s most innovative cities, Shenzhen has retained the title of “National Civilized City” for seven years in a row. To ensure the success of APEC, the government has rolled out a series of special measures. These include improving public services, traffic flow, and beautifying the city. However, what truly distinguishes Shenzhen is its people.
Tiny acts of kindness can be seen everywhere in the city. For example, free hand sanitizers (洗手液) and eco-friendly toilet paper are available in almost all public restrooms.

These measures show Shenzhen’s determination to build a sustainable future while hosting the international event.
In conclusion, the 2026 APEC is much more than an economic meeting. It is a golden opportunity to display the city’s soft power. Shenzhen is not only strong in economy, but also friendly and civilized. With open arms and warm hearts, the city is ready to welcome friends from all over the world.

Passage 4
(2026·山东济南·一模)
Wu Hongbo, a visitor from Dalian, recently used AI to plan a tour of Shanxi. By telling the AI app about his travel plans, he received a week-long plan made just for him covering transportation, places of interest and hotel information.
As a martial arts (武术) novel fan, Wu had long dreamed of visiting Yanmen Pass, a part of the Great Wall featured in his favorite stories. The app recommended (推荐) just that, alongside other cool cultural spots and local dishes. “This AI plan surprised me,” Wu said. “The recommendations perfectly matched my taste, deepening my understanding of Shanxi.”
As travelers look for trips that fit their personal interests, AI “digital (电子的) guides” are helping to make travel planning faster and of higher quality. On Chinese social media (媒体), plans such as “DeepSeek’s five-day trip to Shandong” and “AI’s two-day trip to Chengdu” are becoming very popular. During a trip, AI can also give real-time guidance. With voice and location technology, the AI guide is just like a personal guide. It tells visitors the history, culture and special features of the places of interest.
Liu Xilei, a visitor from Hebei province, did not ask for a human tour guide when he visited the Jinci Temple in Taiyuan. Instead, he used the AI chatbot Doubao as his tour guide. Liu said he learned a lot about the temple’s history, buildings and culture. The travel app Mafengwo has started an “AI Local Guide” programme. It asks local people who have lived there for over five years to train the AI, giving each guide its own local style. For example, the AI in Fujian recommends small restaurants with ginger duck, while the one in Guizhou helps people find the best spicy food.
“These AI tour guides show the true spirit of a city,” said Mafengwo’s Sun Yunlei. “In the future, AI tour guides will work with human guides. Together, they will provide better and more personal travel services and make trips more wonderful,” said Li Xinjian from Beijing International Studies University.
1.Why was Wu Hongbo shocked by the AI travel plan?
A.Because it lowered his travel cost. B.Because it fit his interests perfectly.
C.Because it shortened his travel time. D.Because it covered all tourist hotspots.
2.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.A week-long travel plan. B.Martial arts novel.
C.Visiting Yanmen Pass. D.Using the AI app.
3.How does Mafengwo train its AI guides?
A.By collecting tourists’ reviews. B.By inviting travel experts to help.
C.By studying historical travel data. D.By using the local people’s wisdom.
4.What is Li Xinjian’s view on AI tour guides?
A.They enrich tourist experiences. B.They reduce travel risks greatly.
C.They compete with human guides. D.They make places of interest popular.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.How to use AI chatbots in daily life.
B.Where to find AI chatbots in travel.
C.AI travel plans are popular on social media.
D.AI helps make travel easier and more personal.
Passage 5
(2026·山东青岛·一模)
The first hot-air balloon was created in 1783. The hot-air balloon is one of the simplest forms of transportation and is still in use today. It uses hot air stuck inside a huge balloon to lift passengers high into the sky. Why can hot air do that? That is because gases are made up of billions of atoms (原子) or molecules (分子) that move around freely. The hotter a gas gets, the faster they move and the farther they spread out, making the gas expand (膨胀).
When the balloon is on the ground, the air inside it is not much warmer than the air outside. Air molecules inside and out are equally spaced (等距)—we say they have the same density (密度). When the pilot heats the air inside the balloon, the molecules spread out. The air in the balloon becomes less dense, which makes it lighter. As a result, the balloon rises. The warmer the air in the balloon gets, the less dense and lighter it gets compared to the heavier, cooler air outside. The balloon rises higher and higher. To bring the balloon back down, the pilot needs to cool the air inside it. He releases (释放) some of the hot air through an opening at the top. Cool air is drawn in at the bottom to take the place of it, and the balloon falls down.
Soon after the first hot-air balloon was flown, people began trying huge balloons that could carry passengers a long way. Called airships, some of these used hydrogen (氢气) instead of hot air because hydrogen has a much lower density than air. However, hydrogen burns, and it caused blow-ups. Today, airships are filled with helium (氦气), which has a low density but doesn’t burn.
1.What can we know about hot-air balloons according to the text?
A.They can move around freely. B.They fly higher than other airships.
C.They’re the oldest form of travel. D.They work by heating the air inside.
2.Which picture best describes “The hot-air balloon is falling down.”?
A. B. C. D.
3.Why is helium used in modern airships instead of hydrogen?
A.It’s easier to produce than hydrogen. B.It’s light and it’s safer than hydrogen.
C.It can make airships fly much faster. D.It can spread out faster than hydrogen.
4.Why can birds use rising air to fly higher?
A.Warm air rises and lifts them up. B.The Sun carries them upward.
C.The wind directly pushes them up. D.The ground gives them power.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.It tells the history and safety rules of old airships.
B.It shows how people heat and cool hot-air balloons.
C.It introduces how birds use rising air to fly in the sky.
D.It explains the science of hot air and its uses in flying.

Passage 1
(2026·河北唐山·一模)
Plants are very important for all living things on the earth. Life could not go on well if there were no plants around us. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight through a special process. Animals and humans cannot make food in this way, so they have to depend on plants directly or indirectly.
Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals that feed on plants. Humans get meat, vegetables, fruit and many other daily foods from plants, too. Besides providing food, plants also help keep the air clean and fresh. They take in carbon dioxide that humans and animals breathe out and produce enough oxygen for us to breathe every day.
However, every year, people cut down millions of trees for wood or land, and some even destroy forests for farming. This makes the air dirtier, the weather warmer and the whole environment worse. To solve these problems, many countries make strict laws to stop cutting down young trees and protect forests.
Some people set up special nature parks to save rare plants that are in danger of disappearing. Students can also help a lot by planting trees on hills, saving paper in daily life and telling others the importance of plants. The pollution around us is becoming more serious, but small and kind actions can still make a big difference. If everyone tries to love, care for and protect plants, our earth will certainly become greener and more beautiful for everyone to live in.
1.How do animals get their food?
A.By making food from sunlight. B.By eating plants and other animals.
C.By taking in clean air. D.By drinking enough water.
2.What do plants provide for us according to the passage?
A.Food and oxygen. B.Carbon dioxide.
C.Paper and wood. D.Warmth and sunlight.
3.What does the underlined word “rare” mean?
A.not found in many places. B.very large in size.
C.growing very fast. D.dangerous to people.
4.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Plants are not important to humans.
B.Cutting down trees is good for the air.
C.Everyone can do something to protect plants.
D.Laws cannot help protect plants at all.
5.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Ways of Planting Trees B.Importance and Protection of Plants
C.Different Kinds of Plants D.Air Pollution Around Us
Passage 2
(2026·浙江金华·一模)
① Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert spreads across 30 per cent of the land. This huge desert, also known as “the Great Desert” in Arabic, is about 9 million square kilometers in size. It is also at least 4.6 million years old. This means that it is one of the oldest places in the world.
② All deserts are dry, and the Sahara is both dry and hot. It is the largest hot desert in the world. We may think that all deserts are hot, but in fact some deserts are very cold! Many scientists believe that Antarctica, for example, is a type of cold desert.
③ Most of the Sahara is rocky ground. But there are also places with grass, lakes, mountains, and even sand seas. A sand sea is just what it sounds like—it looks like a sea of sand! When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
④ Life in the Sahara is difficult. About two million people live in the Sahara. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
⑤ Not many animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must get used to living in the desert. Camels, for example, go for a long time without drinking water. When they do find water, they can drink more than 100 liters (公升) of it in a very short time. Fennec foxes live in the desert too. They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
⑥ Today, the world’s largest hot desert is getting even bigger. It is now about 10 per cent larger than what it was about a century ago. But why is it growing? Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take immediate action, the desert will keep growing!
1.What information does the writer introduce in Paragraph 1?
A.Life, location and size. B.History, climate and size.
C.Size, climate and geography. D.Size, history and location.
2.What does “sand seas” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Seas with sand under the water. B.Large areas of sand that look like the sea.
C.Lakes and mountains in the desert. D.Rocky ground covered with seawater.
3.How do camels get used to living in the Sahara?
A.They have large ears to stay cool. B.They live in places with grass and lakes.
C.They can live without water for a long time. D.They drink more than 100 litres of water every day.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Climate change is the only reason for the Sahara’s growth.
B.The Sahara Desert will stop growing if the temperature drops.
C.Human activities have no influence on the growth of the Sahara.
D.If we do nothing, the Sahara will become even larger in the future.

Developing their study skills
It is not enough to just study hard. Good learners know the best way they can study. For example, they may take notes by writing down key words or by drawing mind maps.
They also look for some other ways to review what they have learned. They may do this by reading their notes every day or by explaining the information to another student for further understanding.
Asking questions
Good learners often ask questions during or after class. They even ask each other and try to find out the answers. Knowledge comes from questioning.
Learning is a lifelong journey because every day brings something new. Everything that you learn becomes a part of you and changes you, so learn wisely and learn well.

Passage 2
(2026·河北唐山·一模)
Whether you are setting up a club or organizing a volunteer activity, creating a poster can be useful and fun. But do you know how to make a poster? Here are some tips for you.
※ Know your poster’s readers
If you don’t know who you’re designing for, your design won’t achieve the result you expect. Before you start to design a poster, the first step is to know your poster’s readers. Take a moment to think about who your ideal readers are, and what their needs, challenges, and pain points are.
※ Present the key information
A picture, as they say, is worth a thousand words. Your design doesn’t need a lot of text to say something. Less is often more when it comes to posters. Put the important messages in the center of the poster. You can also highlight (突出) them so that readers can understand the key points at a glance.
※ Write an outline (提纲)
You need to write an outline before you make a poster. Consider the information you need to include. It usually includes a title, the purpose, the event date, the event place and how to join. List the steps as clearly as possible so that you can be organized when designing the poster.
※ Choose your colors
Your choice of colors is probably the first thing your readers will notice about your poster, so it’s important to get it right. One method we suggest using is the 60-30-10 color rule. Your main color should take up 60 percent of your poster design, while the other two colors can take up 30 and 10 percent.
Now you can start creating your own poster!
1.What should you do before designing a poster?
A.Decide where to put your poster. B.Consider the readers of your poster.
C.Discuss the outline with your partner. D.Think about a clear call to action.
2.What can we know about the information on a poster?
A.The more information, the better. B.It should be clear and brief.
C.It should include enough facts and numbers. D.It should contain plenty of detailed facts.
3.According to the text, how will you choose the colors of the poster?
A.The main color:70%, the other colors:30%. B.The main color:60%, the other colors:40%.
C.The main color:50%, the other colors:50%. D.The main color:40%, the other colors:60%.
4.What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A.Explain what a good poster is. B.Show why posters are important in life.
C.Tell us about different kinds of posters. D.Give advice on how to make a good poster.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.B 4.D

Passage 1
(2026·山东济宁·一模)
China is actively working to help people control their weight and live healthier lives. The government started a three-year weight-control plan from 2024 to 2027 to fight against obesity. Obesity can cause serious health problems like diabetes (糖尿病) and heart disease. Here’s what you should know about the new guidelines (指导纲领).
First, it’s important to check your BMI (身体质量指数). For adults (成年人), a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 23.9. If your BMI is between 24 and 27.9, you are overweight. 28 or above means obesity.
Both eating well and exercise are important. Choose healthy foods like brown rice, fresh vegetables, fish, chicken and beans. Stay away from fried and sugary treats (甜食), and also eat less salt and oil. Surprisingly, local favorites like Northeast China’s stewed fish (炖鱼) and Northwest China’s chili-oil noodles (油泼面) are part of the healthy eating list.
For exercise, try to do 150—300 minutes of activities like walking or dancing weekly, and do strength training twice a week. For example, if you study for long, stand up and exercise for 3—5 minutes every hour. Shanghai schools now make sure students exercise for at least two hours daily.
Small daily habits can also make a big difference. Teens (青少年) should get eight hours’ sleep every night because bad sleep can make you increase weight. Try to eat vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread during a meal to control how much you eat. In short, small changes like choosing water instead of cola or taking stairs can lead to a healthier you.
1.If a man’s BMI is ________, it means he is healthy.
A.22.5 B.25 C.28 D.33
2.What does the underlined word “obesity” mean in Chinese?
A.疾病 B.失眠 C.肥胖 D.孤独
3.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Only developing daily habits. B.Better eating and less exercise.
C.Paying no attention to your BMI. D.Helping Chinese control weight and live healthier lives.
4.The passage above can probably be found in the part of ________ in a newspaper.
A.Culture B.Health C.Business D.Technology
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国推行的体重控制相关指导,包括健康BMI标准、饮食、运动及日常习惯建议,旨在帮助人们控制体重、过上更健康的生活。
1.文中第二段提到“For adults, a healthy BMI is between 18.5 and 23.9”可知如果一个人的BMI在18.5和23.9之间是健康的,所以A项22.5符合要求。
2.文中第一段提到“the government started a three-year weight-control plan... to fight against obesity”,结合后文“If your BMI is between 24 and 27.9, you are overweight. 28 or above means obesity”可知猜测,“obesity”意为肥胖。
3.文中第一段提到“China is actively working to help people control their weight and live healthier lives”即全文围绕健康体重管理的方法展开,所以D项“Helping Chinese control weight and live healthier lives”符合主旨。
4.本文介绍了体重控制、健康饮食、运动及生活习惯等健康相关内容,所以推断B项“Health”符合要求。

Passage 4

Do you have difficulty falling asleep at night? If so, here is a piece of advice for you: Listen to some soft music.
Scientists have found that soft music can help to improve sleep quality and quantity. This works for sleepers of all ages, and even for those with sleeping problems. Soft music can help us fall asleep faster, wake up less during the night and feel more rested in the morning. You may not notice the effects overnight, though. It could take as many as three weeks to see any improvements.
Why can soft music help us sleep better? The reasons aren’t clear yet. It may have something to do with the relaxing effect of a good song. Music can have real physical effects, too. Soft music can lower our heart rate and slow down our breathing. This prepares us for sleep.
Scientists say that for most people, music that has 70 beats per minute (bpm) works best. Classical, jazz and folk music(民间音乐)are usually more effective than other musical styles. Familiar songs work well, too. You may need to experiment to make your own playlists. If you are not sure how many beats a song has in a minute, you can find out by entering its title into songbpm.com. And remember to get the volume(音量)right. Make sure that the final piece is one that slowly dies down. Otherwise, you may be woken up by the sudden silence.
It is very important to get enough high-quality sleep. Before you go to bed tonight, play some soft music. Then, just prepare to be rocked off to dreamland!

A.people of every age
B.only people under the age of 15

Passage 5
(2026·河北唐山·一模)
Have you ever been full of curiosity about the world and always liked to ask “why” when you were a child? Curiosity is the drive to explore and learn.
Curiosity helps the brain to take in new information. For students, curiosity is like a mind superpower. At the same time, curiosity is also a process of actively looking for answers. When you're truly curious about a topic, it becomes easier and more effective for your brain to take in and keep new information.
Curiosity also leads to more exciting ideas. Curiosity encourages students to go beyond “what is taught” and ask “what if”. Instead of simply accepting information, a curious student studies it and looks at it from different sides. This habit of thinking leads to more interesting ideas because it connects knowledge from different subjects.
Curiosity encourages active learning and helps discover your career interests. When Qian Xuesen was young, he was curious about why paper planes could fly and how to make them fly farther. Driven by this curiosity, he worked hard and became a great scientist. This curiosity about one thing will keep you learning, and maybe that interest will shape your future career.
So how to develop your curiosity? One effective method is to ask open-ended questions. For example, instead of asking, “Did you enjoy the training?”, one might ask, “Which aspects of the training did you find most interesting?” Looking for new ideas is another important strategy (策略) for developing curiosity. Besides, jumping out of one's comfort zone (舒适区) is also important for developing curiosity.
As Richard Feynman said, “Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough.” Therefore, keep a curious mind. You never know where it may lead you!
1.How does curiosity act on the brain according to the text?
A.It makes the brain more relaxed and active.
B.It pushes the brain to remember details more clearly.
C.It allows the brain to focus on what you are learning.
D.It helps the brain take in and keep new information more easily.
2.What are curious students like?
A.They usually learn a thing more quickly than others.
B.It is easy for them to choose their own careers.
C.They often consider a thing from different sides.
D.They are used to accepting information directly.
3.What do the underlined words “open-ended questions” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Questions that have no clear answers.
B.Questions that will get short answers.
C.Questions that require you to think twice to answer.
D.Questions that need more than a “Yes” or “No” reply.
4.What is the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1, …)
A.①-②③④-⑤⑥ B.①-②③-④⑤-⑥ C.①②-③④-⑤⑥ D.①-②③④⑤-⑥
5.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Power of a Curious Mind B.A Study on How Curiosity Works
C.Ways to Come Up with New Ideas D.The Influence of Curiosity on Future Jobs
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.D 4.A 5.A

Passage 1
(2026·江苏扬州·一模)
The 2026 Government Work Report clearly says that China will support qualified (符合条件的) areas to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students, while putting into practice the wrong-time paid leave system for workers. As a hot topic, the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience.
These short holidays bring many good points to students. They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With nice and comfortable weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities, including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning. In this way, book knowledge is turned into real-life experience.
The holidays also bring good points to families. Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, making family ties closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society.
However, difficulties still exist in the policy’s carrying out. The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities offer more activities for students. The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations.
In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change. They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development. With joint efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way.
1.Why are the holidays good for society and education?
A.They make schools have longer teaching time.
B.They help develop local tourism and create a win-win situation.
C.They let parents spend less time with their children.
D.They make people travel only during busy seasons.
2.What does the writer imply (暗示) about the future of this policy?
A.It will be cancelled soon because of the high cost.
B.It will be more successful with the help of the whole society.
C.Students will hate the holidays because of too much homework.
D.Parents will refuse to take their children out during the holidays.
3.What can we know about the challenges of the policy?
A.Schools can do nothing to help working parents.
B.Many working parents have difficulty looking after their kids.
C.The holidays must be set in the same way across the country.
D.Communities don’t offer any activities for students.
4.What’s the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.B 4.C

3.第四段指出:“The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays.”,点明政策推行的主要难题是上班族家长无暇照看孩子。
4.①段:总起,介绍春秋假期新政及试点情况;②③段:分述,分别介绍假期对学生、家庭、社会经济的好处;④段:分述,说明政策推行存在的困难与解决办法;⑤段:总结,评价政策意义与未来发展。C选项符合。
Passage 2
(2026·浙江金华·一模)
Long lines for food have become common in cities around the world. Tourists often wait in line for snacks that are not necessarily tasty or healthy. These are usually simple things such as donuts (甜甜圈), fries, or sandwiches.
While the food may be tasty, something else is behind the growing lines.
One reason might be FOMO—fear of missing out. When people see a long line, they think, “There must be something special here,” and don’t want to miss an experience that everyone else seems to be enjoying. So, they join the line, just in case.
But FOMO is only part of the story.
These days, people don’t just travel to taste new food or see new places—they also want to show others what they are doing. Many tourists film themselves standing in line or take selfies (自拍) with their
food. Sometimes, it’s not even about enjoying the snack—it’s about showing they were there.
Most viral snacks are discovered on social media, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram showing people what is popular based on their interests. These apps often suggest the same food places to millions of users, and as a result, many tourists end up visiting the same places they saw online.
However, this can also bring problems, and locals in tourist—heavy areas are starting to push back. In Amsterdam, for example, people living near the popular fries shop Fabel Friet say the crowds and noise are too much. They’ve also asked the city to control the number of tourists who can visit the city each year.
In the end, these long lines are not just about food—they are about being part of something and sharing it with others.
1.Which situation best shows the meaning of FOMO?
A.Sam joins his friends to wait for a new snack, afraid to be left out.
B.Amy checks food reviews carefully before trying a new snack.
C.Emma refuses to buy a popular drink because it’s too expensive.
D.Mark leaves the long line quickly because he can’t stand waiting for 10 minutes.
2.What does the underlined words “viral snacks” mean?
A.Snacks that are healthy, tasty and popular online.
B.Snacks that have a long history and are loved by locals.
C.Snacks that are made with something bad for health.
D.Snacks that spread quickly online and then become very popular.
3.Which picture is most likely the illustration (插图) of this passage?
A. B. C. D.
4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To tell tourists how to avoid waiting in long lines.
B.To introduce some popular snacks around the world.
C.To advise social media to stop sharing popular food places.
D.To explain why long lines for food happen and the problems they cause.
【答案】1.A 2.D 3.B 4.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了世界各地城市里食物长队变得常见这一现象,分析了背后存在的原因,包括害怕错过(FOMO)、人们想展示自己的行为以及社交媒体的影响等,还指出了这种现象带来的问题,最后总结这些长队不只是关于食物,还关乎参与和分享。
1.第三段指出原因:“One reason might be FOMO—fear of missing out. When people see a long line, they think, ‘There must be something special here,’ and don't want to miss an experience that everyone else seems to be enjoying. So, they join the line, just in case.”这直接说明了害怕错过(FOMO)是人们看到长队会加入的原因,选项A中Sam害怕被落下而加入朋友排队等新零食,符合FOMO的含义。
2.第五段说明原因:“Most viral snacks are discovered on social media, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram showing people what is popular based on their interests. These apps often suggest the same food places to millions of users, and as a result, many tourists end up visiting the same places they saw online.”这表明“viral snacks”是在社交媒体上被发现,很多游客会去这些网上看到的地方,说明这些零食是在网上快速传播然后变得非常受欢迎的,所以“viral snacks”意思是“在网上快速传播然后变得非常受欢迎的零食”。
3.文章主要围绕食物长队展开,插图应与食物长队相关,选项B呈现的是人们排队买食物的场景,符合文章主题。
4.最后一段总结:“In the end, these long lines are not just about food—they are about being part of something and sharing it with others.”结合前文对食物长队原因和带来问题的阐述,说明文章主要目的是解释食物长队出现的原因以及它们带来的问题。

Passage 2
(2026·陕西宝鸡·一模)
Artificial intelligence (AI) is now common in daily life and helps students a lot. Unlike old tools, it learns from information and offers personal help. For example, AI English apps can point out pronunciation and grammar mistakes, then create special exercises for you.
Zhang Hua, a 15-year-old from Xi’an, used to be weak in English writing. Last term, his teacher suggested an AI writing helper. Zhang first used it to check spelling, then found it could also suggest better words and sentences. “It’s like having a teacher available anytime,” he said.
However, using AI well takes skill. Some students let AI write entire articles or solve problems, which harms independent thinking. Zhang’s way is better: he finishes his work first, then uses AI to check and improve. “AI is a helper, not a replacement (替代品). I still must think and practice myself,” he explained.
Schools now guide students to use AI properly—for example, to save time on routine tasks like checking answers. This gives students more time for creative thinking. As technology grows, AI will keep changing the way we learn. But the rule remains: use it wisely, and keep working hard yourself.
1.Zhang Hua first used the AI writing helper to ________.
A.check spelling B.find grammar mistakes
C.suggest better sentences D.write articles for him
2.What is the right way to use AI according to the passage?
A.Let AI do all the creative thinking.
B.Use AI after finishing your own work.
C.Depend on AI to solve difficult problems.
D.Ask AI to write complete homework.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.AI can solve all learning problems for students.
B.Schools should stop students from using new technology.
C.Zhang Hua became the best English writer with AI’s help.
D.AI is a helpful tool but students must still think for themselves.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D
【导语】本文介绍了人工智能(AI)在学生学习中的广泛应用、积极作用、正确使用方法以及学校的相关引导。
1.原文第二段“Zhang first used it to check spelling”提到张华首先用它检查拼写。
2.原文第三段指出正确使用AI的方式是“finishes his work first, then uses AI to check and improve”,先完成自己的作业,再用AI检查修改。
3.本文主旨是:AI对学生学习是有用的辅助工具,但不能替代自己思考和练习,学生要合理使用、坚持自己努力。
Passage 3
(2026·四川南充·一模)
Have you heard of “AI self-study rooms”? It is a new business model in education, which has recently appeared in China. It is getting more and more attention, but people hold different opinions about it.
AI self-study rooms bring together AI learning tools, study monitors (监控) and a good learning environment. Students take online classes and do exercises with learning machines. At the same time, monitors help keep order. They also use AI to find students’ weak points and make personalized study plans for them.
A parent told Global Times that AI learning machines are more interactive than common online courses. They can analyze students’ learning and give them proper and challenging questions to reach their learning goals. “Now, students in the countryside can do virtual (虚拟的) biology experiments through AI self-study rooms. This was impossible before because of limited local resources,” said a teacher from Qinghai.
Some people praise AI self-study rooms for their advantages, but others think they are just for show. Some students say some AI learning machines are not smart enough. They cannot teach students in different ways and only give mechanical practice. Their updates are slow, and their fixed question banks often have mistakes, which may mislead students.
As for the price, it costs 200 yuan per hour on weekends and it is 20% off on weekdays. “We can’t afford this service. We have to think carefully about whether the price is worth the learning effect,” a parent from Jiangsu told Global Times.
“I believe AI is helpful to education. But as a new business, AI self-study rooms still face problems, such as poor integration (融合) and unbalanced quality. With continuous technology development, AI learning will become more important in the future,” said Professor Huang from the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences.
1.How does the writer introduce the topic?

Nowadays, many young people are busy with their work and have no time to shop every day. They often buy enough food for at least a week. However, eating food that is not stored properly may cause illness. The fridge is very helpful in keeping food safe and fresh, but it cannot keep all food in good condition. Follow these tips and learn how to store food correctly in your fridge.
The temperature in the fresh-keeping area is different on different shelves. Generally, the higher the shelf is, the higher the temperature will be. So you can put different food on proper shelves according to the temperature.
Ready-to-eat food such as hamburgers, pizza or cream cakes had better be put on the top shelves. The middle shelves are suitable for dairy products (乳制品) like cheese, butter and yogurt. Bottom shelves are the coldest, so they are perfect for raw (生的) meat and seafood. Some fridges have a freezer (冷冻室) for storing these things, and you can make good use of it.
Keeping food in the fridge cannot kill bacteria (细菌), but it can slow down their growth. Bacteria can grow quickly in temperatures between 5℃ and 60℃. This is the Temperature Danger Zone. To keep food in good condition, the temperature in the fresh-keeping area needs to be between 0℃ and 5℃. The freezer temperature should be below -18℃.
Food storage is an important skill in our daily life. I hope these simple and useful tips can help you store food properly and keep your food fresh for a longer time.

(2026·江苏扬州·一模)
OpenClaw: The Viral AI Agent Igniting a National “Lobster” Craze
In early March 2026, an open-source AI tool called OpenClaw became very popular in China. People call it “the Lobster” because its icon is a red lobster. It started a nationwide trend called “raising lobsters”—that means installing (安装), setting up, and customizing (定制) the tool. Thousands of tech fans waited in line for free setup in Shenzhen and Shanghai, and paid setup services also became popular online quickly.
Unlike common chatbots like ChatGPT, OpenClaw is made to do real work. It can run locally on many operating systems and works well with everyday office software. It can automatically (自动地) do data analysis, edit documents, and fix code, acting as a useful “digital worker”. This change from just talking to doing things has made people want more compatible (兼容的) devices; Apple’s Mac mini, a good choice for local use, has sold out all over the world. Big tech companies like Tencent and Baidu have added one-click setup to make it easier to use, and local governments have made helpful policies to support related research and new ideas.
However, fast growth also brings big risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has warned that wrong setup may cause cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work. Also, people who use it a lot have to keep paying for expensive language model APIs.
As international media said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work much better. But to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must mix technology innovation, Internet safety, and cost control together.
1.What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A.OpenClaw will completely replace human office workers in the near future.
B.ChatGPT will soon be out of date because of the appearance of OpenClaw.
C.Local governments are the main force driving the development of OpenClaw.
D.The release of OpenClaw has had a direct influence on the sales of some compatible devices.
2.Why do some multinational corporations stop the internal use of OpenClaw?
A.Because they worry about the high costs of paid language model APIs.
B.Because they think OpenClaw is not as efficient as traditional office software.
C.Because they are concerned about potential cyberattacks and data leakage risks.
D.Because they believe OpenClaw is not popular enough among their employees.
3.What is the author’s attitude towards OpenClaw?
A.Strongly against it. B.Fully supportive.
C.Objective and balanced. D.Uninterested and indifferent.
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The history of AI chatbots in China. B.How to use OpenClaw to finish office work.
C.The popularity, functions, risks and future of OpenClaw. D.The reasons why multinational companies ban OpenClaw.
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.C 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了2026年初在中国非常流行的开源AI工具OpenClaw(被人们称为“龙虾”),介绍了其引发全国“养龙虾”热潮的现象,阐述了它能做实际工作(如数据分析、编辑文档、修复代码等)的功能,说明了其快速发展带来的网络攻击和数据泄露等风险,最后指出要使其良好且长久发展需要平衡技术创新、网络安全和成本控制。
1.第二段提到“This change from just talking to doing things has made people want more compatible (兼容的) devices; Apple’s Mac mini, a good choice for local use, has sold out all over the world”,这直接说明OpenClaw的发布对一些兼容设备的销售产生了直接影响。
2.第三段说明原因“China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has warned that wrong setup may cause cyberattacks and data leaks. Because of this risk, some big international companies have stopped using OpenClaw at work”,所以一些跨国公司停止内部使用OpenClaw是因为他们担心潜在的网络攻击和数据泄露风险。
3.最后一段作者提到“As international media said, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools and can help people work much better. But to make it grow well and last long, we need a balanced way: we must mix technology innovation, Internet safety, and cost control together”,作者既提到了OpenClaw的优点,也指出了要使其良好且长久发展需要注意的方面,说明作者对OpenClaw的态度是客观且平衡的。
4.文章先讲了OpenClaw引发全国热潮很受欢迎,接着介绍了它能做实际工作的功能,然后说明了其快速发展带来的风险,最后指出要使其良好且长久发展的方式,所以文章的主要内容是OpenClaw的流行、功能、风险和未来。

Passage 2
(2026·山东潍坊·一模)
You probably remember the Flaming Mountains from Journey to the West. But do you know where the real Flaming Mountains are? They are in Turpan (吐鲁番), in the east of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
It’s known as one of the hottest areas in the world. The desert sand can be as hot as 80℃ in midsummer. That’s enough to make your feet burn! It may sound crazy, but the locals can cook an egg on the desert sand. Rainfall in Turpan is only 16 mm a year. It is one of the driest places in China. How do people survive in such a terrible climate? The secret lies in the ancient karez (坎儿井) system.
The karez system, in Turpan includes more than 1,000 wells (井). They appear every 20-30 metres. Some of them are 100 metres deep! Under these wells are large underground canals (运河). Water from the mountains falls into the wells. It then runs underground in the canals. It is kept cool and safe from the desert heat. There are over 5,000 km of underground canals in the area. That’s nearly as long as the Yellow River! Thanks to the karez system, people can grow plants for food in this difficult environment. And amazingly, all of this was completed with only hand tools! No wonder it’s among the top three projects of ancient China.
Today, the area faces a water shortage. There is less water from the mountains, lower rainfall and a large increase in water use. Although modern technology is solving some problems, the karez system still plays an important role. Now, more and more young people are taking action to protect it. The centuries-old water system will surely be carried into the future.
1.What does the writer mean by “That’s enough to make your feet burn!”?

(2026·河南平顶山·一模)
①Tools are usually thought of as human inventions. But did you know that many animals also use tools to solve problems?
②Chimpanzees, for example, use grass sticks to catch small insects (昆虫). They know where these insects live and put a stick into the insects’ home. After waiting for the insects to climb onto the stick, the chimpanzees pull it out and eat them. This makes a tasty meal! When chimpanzees have trouble reaching water, they use leaves as tools. They push leaves into hard-to-reach places,letting the leaves take in water, and then eat the leaves to get the water. They also use sticks for digging.
③The green heron (绿鹭) uses bait to catch fish just as humans use bait on the end of a fishing pole (钓竿). The heron does this by picking up a small object with its beak (喙). It flies over the water and drops the object onto the surface. In the water, fish see the object and swim toward it. The heron waits for fish to swim close to the surface. Then it drops down and catches the fish.
④Some animals use tools for more than getting food and water. Some use leaves to deal with cuts or clean themselves, and others use thin sticks to clean teeth. The elephant is one of the cleverest animals. It puts grass and branches (树枝) together, and then uses this tool to drive away flies. When needed, this tool can also be used as a back scratcher (挠痒工具).
⑤These are just some examples of how animals use tools. Scientists keep finding more such cases every day. Each time they see animals using tools, it makes them think again about how smart animals really are.

Passage 2
(2026·河南南阳·一模)
People often call dogs “man’s best friends”. Now, a study shows why they are really our best friends. Scientists at UCLA Medical Center in California say dogs can help people feel better and stay healthy.
In the study, scientists watched 76 patients with heart problems. They put the patients into three groups. One group got visits from people who brought dogs. Another group got visits from people without dogs. The last group had no visitors at all. The scientists wrote down how the patients felt before, during, and after the visits.
The scientists found that patients who got visits from people with dogs felt better. They were 24 percent less nervous than before. The group that got only people’s visits felt 10 percent less nervous. The group without visitors felt the most nervous. After just 12 minutes with the dogs, the patients’ hearts worked better.
The scientists showed the study to the American Heart Association and the Pet Care Trust Foundation paid for the study. The dogs used in the study were therapy (治疗) dogs. Therapy dogs were trained to be calm and kind to patients. Some of the dogs were big and some were small.
Many people know that animals are helpful. Trained monkeys can carry things for disabled people. ________ Some hospitals even bring in animals, like horses, to cheer up kids who are sick.
Before the study, there wasn’t much proof (证据) that therapy animals could make people healthier. Nurse Kathie M. Cole, who worked on the study, hopes doctors will see how good animals can be for patients. “Dogs are a great comfort (安慰),” she said. “They help people feel happier and loved. That is really important when someone is nervous or not feeling well.”

Passage 3
(2026·陕西宝鸡·一模)
Most people know that pets can bring joy to our lives. But few realize that keeping a pet can also bring great health benefits. Scientists have found that pet owners are often healthier and happier than those without pets.
One way pets help is by reducing stress. When you play with a dog or cat, your body produces a chemical that makes you feel relaxed. This can lower your blood pressure and help reduce feelings of anxiety (焦虑).
Pets also encourage us to be more active. Dog owners, for example, need to take their pets for walks regularly. This means more exercise, which is good for heart and bone health. Studies show that pet owners take an average of 2,000 more steps a day than non-pet owners.
There are other benefits too. Children who grow up with pets are less likely to develop allergies (过敏) and asthma (哮喘). Pets can also speed up recovery (康复) from illness. Hospitals in some countries even allow small pets like rabbits to help patients feel better during treatment.
So, if you’re thinking about getting a pet, remember—it’s not just a friend, but also a health helper.
1.The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A.problems B.worries C.interests D.advantages
2.Which of the following shows the correct structure of the passage? (①②③④⑤=Paragraph 1; 2; 3; 4; 5)
A.①/②③④/⑤ B.①②/③④/⑤
C.①/②③/④⑤ D.①②③/④/⑤
3.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards keeping pets?
A.The writer thinks it’s mainly bad. B.The writer isn’t sure about it.
C.The writer feels worried about it. D.The writer thinks it’s good and helpful.

2.本文是总—分—总结构:第1段开门见山,提出“养宠物对健康有好处”的主题;第2-4段分别从减少压力、增加活动量、其他健康益处三个方面,具体介绍养宠物的好处,属于分述;第5段总结全文,再次点明养宠物的价值。因此结构为①/②③④/⑤。
3.全文都在介绍养宠物的各种好处,结尾作者明确点明“it’s not just a friend, but also a health helper”养宠物不只是一个朋友,还是健康帮手,可见作者认为养宠物是有益有帮助的。
Passage 4
(2026·山东青岛·一模)
Is there a special animal in your life? A beloved friend with a waggy (摇晃的) tail that fills your heart with joy at the end of the day, or a trusted friend whose soft, warm fur (皮毛) brings you comfort when you’re feeling blue? If you’re thinking about getting your first pet, it is important to decide which animal is right for you and your family. Try this quiz (测试) to see what pet might be right for you.
After choosing the type of pet, you’ll find your perfect match. Would you prefer a playful young one or a calmer adult? You might also consider rehoming a pet from a rescue (救援) center, offering it a loving second chance.
The day you bring your new friend home is exciting for everyone, but it can feel a bit scary for the animal itself. Do you remember your first week at school? Your pet probably feels the same mix of nervousness and curiosity in a new environment. To help it feel at home, introduce it gently to all family members. Provide a quiet, safe space for it to get used to everything. A familiar toy from its old home can offer great comfort. Be patient as it learns the new rules, like where to eat or go to the toilet.
Once your pet gets used to its new home, remember the responsibilities you’ve taken on. It’s up to you to keep it clean, healthy and happy through play, proper diet, and normal checks. It’s daunting, being responsible for a whole new life, but it should be a fun adventure (探险). Don’t forget to enjoy the special moments with your new friend.
Most importantly, remember what’s at the heart of the animal-human relationship: love. Your pet will give it to you unconditionally, and by returning that love with care and respect, you’ll build a lasting friendship.
1.What is the most important step before getting your first pet according to the passage?
A.Going to a rescue center or a pet store. B.Deciding which animal fits your family.
C.Buying toys and a cute bed for your pet. D.Asking your friends what pet they have.
2.Which pet is a good choice for a person who loves daily jogging in his backyard?
A.Dog. B.Guinea pig. C.Cat. D.Fish.
3.Why does the writer mention “your first week at a new school” in Paragraph 3?
A.To advise readers to send their pets to animal school.
B.To show that school is always an exciting experience.
C.To help readers understand how a new pet might feel.
D.To explain how pets can help children with school life.
4.How do you understand the underlined word “daunting” in Paragraph 4?
A.Easy and simple. B.Difficult and worrying.

Passage 1
(2026·山东济南·一模)
Have you ever had a bad day and been told, “You’ll feel better in the morning”? Well, science says that might actually be true!
A study from the University College London (UCL) found that people generally feel better in the morning and worse at night. This research offers clear evidence that our emotions follow a daily cycle we may not fully understand. The study looked at nearly 1 million survey replies from 50,000 adults over two years. Researchers asked people questions like, “In the past week, how happy did you feel?” and “How satisfied have you been with your life?” The large number of participants (参加者) made the results highly reliable. They found that happiness, life satisfaction and general well-being were highest for people who answered the survey in the morning. But the feeling decreased as the day went on, reaching its lowest point around midnight.
Scientists believe our body’s biological clock plays a big role in this. It controls when we wake up and when we feel sleepy, and it also influences our mood. Cortisol (皮质醇), a hormone (荷尔蒙) that controls mood and emotions, is at its highest in the morning and drops at night. This could explain why people feel better at the start of the day and worse later on.
Other factors (因素) can also influence our mood. For example, our daily routines, work and social lives change between weekdays and weekends, and that can influence how we feel. This is also supported by the study’s findings, because happiness and life satisfaction were higher on Mondays and Fridays than on Sundays. And Tuesdays were the happiest day of the week. Seasons influence our mood as well—people feel happier and less worried in spring, summer and autumn compared to winter. However, the time of day still influences our mood, no matter the season.
These findings could help mental health services, says UCL’s Feifei Bu. If people feel worse at night, she said, more support should be available during those hours.
1.What do we know about the study from UCL?
A.It lasted for less than one year in London.
B.It asked 50,000 adults for information.
C.It showed people felt worst on Friday nights.
D.It studied the mood changes of 1 million adults.
2.What does the underlined word “decreased” mean in paragraph 2?
A.Disappeared. B.Failed. C.Passed. D.Dropped.
3.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.How social activities improve people’s health.
B.Why cortisol, a hormone controls emotions.
C.What influences people’s mood changes.
D.How the researchers do the study on feelings.
4.How does the writer develop paragraph 4?
A.By listing numbers. B.By giving examples. C.By asking questions. D.By telling stories.
5.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Rise and Shine: Why Mornings Make You Happier
B.Happy Days: How Weekdays Influence Our Feelings
C.Warm Seasons: Why We Feel Better in Spring
D.Nighttime Worries: How to Sleep Well Every Day
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.B 5.A
【导语】本文主要描述了一项来自伦敦大学学院的研究发现,人们的情绪会随一天时间呈现周期性变化:早上心情最好,幸福感和生活满意度最高,到晚上逐渐变差,午夜时情绪最低落。
1.原文第二段:“The study looked at nearly 1 million survey replies from 50,000 adults over two years.”提到研究历时两年,收集了来自5万名成年人的近100万份回复。
2.原文第二段:“They found that happiness, life satisfaction and general well-being were highest for people who answered the survey in the morning. But the feeling decreased as the day went on, reaching its lowest point around midnight.”提到早上人们的幸福感最高,随着时间推移,这种感受在午夜达到最低点。由此可知decreased是“下降、减少”的意思,和dropped同义。
3.第三段先指出生物钟对情绪变化有很大影响,接着以皮质醇为例解释它如何影响情绪,整段都在说明什么因素会影响人们的情绪变化。
4.原文第四段:“For example, our daily routines, work and social lives change between weekdays and weekends, and that can influence how we feel…”通过举例引出“星期不同对情绪的影响”,又举例“季节对情绪的影响”,属于通过举例子展开段落。
5.本文核心围绕“研究证实人们早上情绪更好,解释为什么早上会让人更快乐”展开。选项A“Rise and Shine: Why Mornings Make You Happier”符合全文核心。
Passage 2
(2026·广东湛江·一模)
Have you ever wondered if the colour of our bedroom can influence how well we sleep? ▲ They say that colours can easily influence our moods (心情). So, what bedroom colours should we choose for a good sleep?
We usually think blue can make us relax. So we often use blue to paint our bedroom. Blue makes us think of calm things like the sea or the sky. It can even help make our heartbeats (心跳) slower, which helps us relax.
Like blue, green can also be a good choice for a bedroom colour. It brings a touch of nature into our room. This relaxing colour can bring peace, hope, and happiness to people, making them feel like being outside in a quiet garden.
If you’re not interested in blue or green, don’t worry. A simple white room can also create a good sleep environment. It keeps the brain from getting too active, and gets us ready for sleep.
However, warm colours might not be good for sleep. Colours like red, orange, and yellow have long wavelengths (波长). These colours are very stimulating—they’re like a wake-up call for our brain, so we’d better avoid these colours.
The right bedroom colour is a helper for a good sleep. However, personal need is the most important. If you prefer a colour that’s not mentioned, that’s okay! After all, a bedroom should be a place where we feel relaxed and comfortable. So, when choosing a bedroom colour, think about your own feelings.
1.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1?
A.People know little about it. B.Some studies show that it’s true.
C.Nobody knows why it is like this. D.Some people may not like this idea.
2.What do blue and green have in common according to the passage?
A.They are both warm colours. B.They both make rooms look bigger.
C.They both help people feel relaxed. D.They both slow down people’s heartbeats.
3.What does the underlined word “stimulating” probably mean?
A.Exciting. B.Boring. C.Relaxing. D.Surprising.
4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Warm colours are better for bedrooms.
B.We should sleep in a dark environment.
C.Always choose blue as the best bedroom colour.
D.Personal need is the key to choosing bedroom colours.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Differences of Colours. B.The Way to Improve Our Moods.
C.The Importance of a Good Sleep. D.The Influence of Bedroom Colours on Sleep.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.D
【导语】本文介绍了卧室颜色对睡眠质量的影响,分析了不同颜色的作用,并强调个人感受是选择卧室颜色的关键。
1.原文第一段提出问题“Have you ever wondered if the colour of our bedroom can influence how well we sleep?”,后文提到“They say that colours can easily influence our moods.”,此处需要过渡句承接“卧室颜色影响睡眠”的说法,B项“Some studies show that it’s true.”契合上下文逻辑。
2.原文第二段提到“blue can make us relax”,第三段提到“green can also be a good choice...This relaxing colour can bring peace, hope, and happiness to people”,说明蓝色和绿色的共同点是都能让人放松。
3.根据后文“they’re like a wake-up call for our brain, so we’d better avoid these colours”,可知“stimulating”的含义是让人兴奋、清醒,与“Exciting”意思相近。
4.原文最后一段提到“However, personal need is the most important.”,说明个人需求是选择卧室颜色的关键。
5.全文围绕“卧室颜色对睡眠的影响”展开,介绍了不同颜色的作用及选择建议,因此“The Influence of Bedroom Colours on Sleep”最适合作为标题。
Passage 3
(2026·广东阳江·一模)It’s getting colder outside, and it’s time for the flu and cold season. Why do people get more colds and flu when it’s very cold outside?
In a new study, scientists have found the answer. It turns out that the cold air itself hurts the immune response (免疫反应) in our noses.
When a virus (病毒) goes into the nose, the nose can find it, and the cells (细胞) there begin to create billions of simple copies of themselves called extracellular vesicles (EVs细胞外小泡).
“EVs can’t divide like cells, but they can kill the viruses,” said Benjamin Bleier, the writer of the study from Harvard Medical School. “They catch the viruses as you breathe them in. Then, the viruses sticking to EVs will be thrown out from our body in the form of snot (鼻涕).”
However, when cold weather hits, the nose’s “super power” becomes less powerful. The study found that when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5°C, nearly 50 percent of the billions of EVs will be taken out of the fight. “Cold air makes you catch viruses more easily because you have lost half of your immunity (免疫力),” said Bleier.
This is why we should wear masks (口罩) in winter. “Wearing masks not only can protect us from viruses, but it’s also like wearing a sweater on the nose,” Bleier said.
In the future, Bleier expects to see the development of nasal medications (鼻腔用药). “Scientists may find a way to fool the nose into thinking it has just seen a virus,” Bleier said.
1.What does the underlined word “themselves” in the third paragraph refer to?
A.The viruses. B.The noses.
C.The cells in our noses. D.The immune responses in our noses.
2.What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us?
A.What EVs are like. B.Where we can find EVs.
C.Why it is easy to lose EVs. D.How EVs get the viruses out of the body.
3.How many EVs will you lose when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5°C?
A.Fifty billion EVs. B.About half of the EVs in the nose.
C.All of the EVs in the nose. D.Five percent of the EVs in the nose.
4.What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A.EVs can help people kill all kinds of viruses.
B.EVs work in the same way as the cells in the nose.
C.Bleier doesn’t feel hopeful about the development of nasal medications.
D.The warmer we keep our noses, the better they work to fight against viruses.
5.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Why do people get more colds and flu in winter?
B.Why do people feel cold in winter?
C.How do people make noses throw out viruses?
D.How do people keep noses warm?
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文解释了冬季寒冷空气会削弱鼻腔免疫能力,减少抗病毒的细胞外小泡数量,从而导致人们更容易患上感冒和流感,并给出了防护建议与未来研究方向。
1.第三段指出:“the cells there begin to create billions of simple copies of themselves called extracellular vesicles (EVs 细胞外小泡).”,此句主语为the cells,细胞复制自身,因此themselves指代鼻腔内的细胞。
2.第四段指出:“They catch the viruses... the viruses sticking to EVs will be thrown out from our body in the form of snot.”,本段介绍了细胞外小泡捕捉病毒并将其排出体外的过程。
3.第五段指出:“when the temperature inside the nose drops by 5°C, nearly 50 percent of the billions of EVs will be taken out of the fight.”,50 percent对应一半,说明鼻腔降温 5℃会流失近一半细胞外小泡。
4.第五段指出:“Cold air makes you catch viruses more easily because you have lost half of your immunity.”,冷空气降低鼻腔免疫力,反之鼻子越温暖,抗病毒能力越强。
5.第一段提出冬季易患感冒流感的问题,后文围绕冷空气削弱鼻腔免疫、诱发疾病展开解释,全文围绕该核心问题说明。

Passage 1
(2026·四川宜宾·一模)
The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala had four special venues (会场) besides the main hall in Beijing. Yibin, Sichuan, was one of them with the theme Standing at the Upper Reaches.
Yibin is known as the First City of the Yangtze River. The main stage was at Hejiangmen, where the Jinsha River and Minjiang River meet to form the Yangtze River. The show lasted about seven minutes and won high praise worldwide.
The gala showed rich local culture. Yibin’s traditional custom Qing Chunjiu, with more than 400 years of history, was the warm opening. Many Sichuan artists gave wonderful performances. Different kinds of intangible cultural heritage (非遗), such as bamboo carving and Sichuan Opera, also appeared on the stage.
Modern technology made the show amazing. 5,000 drones (无人机) formed shapes of finless porpoises (江豚) flying just 40 cm above the water. Robot pandas danced with actors. High-tech drones made in Sichuan flew over the venue. These showed Yibin’s green development and strong spirit.
The theme Standing at the Upper Reaches has two meanings. It tells Yibin’s special location at the beginning of the Yangtze River. It also carries the spirit of keeping trying to be better and protecting the Yangtze River. Through the gala, Yibin showed its beauty, culture and energy to the whole world.

1.第二段指出“The main stage was at Hejiangmen”,这直接说明宜宾分会场的主舞台在合江门。
2.第三段说明“Yibin’s traditional custom Qing Chunjiu, with more than 400 years of history, was the warm opening”,宜宾有着400多年历史的传统习俗“青春酒”是暖场开场,所以宜宾春晚以有悠久历史的青春酒开场。
3.第四段说明原因“5,000 drones (无人机) formed shapes of finless porpoises (江豚) flying just 40 cm above the water”,5000架无人机在水面上方40厘米处组成江豚的形状,所以使用5000架无人机是为了在水面上形成江豚的形状。
4.最后一段说明主题“Standing at the Upper Reaches”的含义“It tells Yibin’s special location at the beginning of the Yangtze River. It also carries the spirit of keeping trying to be better and protecting the Yangtze River”,它讲述了宜宾在长江起点的特殊位置,也承载着不断努力变得更好和保护长江的精神,所以不包括宜宾丰富的饮食文化和当地习俗。
5.最后一段总结“Through the gala, Yibin showed its beauty, culture and energy to the whole world”,通过春晚,宜宾向全世界展示了它的美丽、文化和活力,所以文章主要目的是通过春晚展示宜宾的美丽、文化和活力。

Wu Hongbo, a visitor from Dalian, recently used AI to plan a tour of Shanxi. By telling the AI app about his travel plans, he received a week-long plan made just for him covering transportation, places of interest and hotel information.
As a martial arts (武术) novel fan, Wu had long dreamed of visiting Yanmen Pass, a part of the Great Wall featured in his favorite stories. The app recommended (推荐) just that, alongside other cool cultural spots and local dishes. “This AI plan surprised me,” Wu said. “The recommendations perfectly matched my taste, deepening my understanding of Shanxi.”
As travelers look for trips that fit their personal interests, AI “digital (电子的) guides” are helping to make travel planning faster and of higher quality. On Chinese social media (媒体), plans such as “DeepSeek’s five-day trip to Shandong” and “AI’s two-day trip to Chengdu” are becoming very popular. During a trip, AI can also give real-time guidance. With voice and location technology, the AI guide is just like a personal guide. It tells visitors the history, culture and special features of the places of interest.
Liu Xilei, a visitor from Hebei province, did not ask for a human tour guide when he visited the Jinci Temple in Taiyuan. Instead, he used the AI chatbot Doubao as his tour guide. Liu said he learned a lot about the temple’s history, buildings and culture. The travel app Mafengwo has started an “AI Local Guide” programme. It asks local people who have lived there for over five years to train the AI, giving each guide its own local style. For example, the AI in Fujian recommends small restaurants with ginger duck, while the one in Guizhou helps people find the best spicy food.
“These AI tour guides show the true spirit of a city,” said Mafengwo’s Sun Yunlei. “In the future, AI tour guides will work with human guides. Together, they will provide better and more personal travel services and make trips more wonderful,” said Li Xinjian from Beijing International Studies University.

Passage 5
(2026·山东青岛·一模)
The first hot-air balloon was created in 1783. The hot-air balloon is one of the simplest forms of transportation and is still in use today. It uses hot air stuck inside a huge balloon to lift passengers high into the sky. Why can hot air do that? That is because gases are made up of billions of atoms (原子) or molecules (分子) that move around freely. The hotter a gas gets, the faster they move and the farther they spread out, making the gas expand (膨胀).
When the balloon is on the ground, the air inside it is not much warmer than the air outside. Air molecules inside and out are equally spaced (等距)—we say they have the same density (密度). When the pilot heats the air inside the balloon, the molecules spread out. The air in the balloon becomes less dense, which makes it lighter. As a result, the balloon rises. The warmer the air in the balloon gets, the less dense and lighter it gets compared to the heavier, cooler air outside. The balloon rises higher and higher. To bring the balloon back down, the pilot needs to cool the air inside it. He releases (释放) some of the hot air through an opening at the top. Cool air is drawn in at the bottom to take the place of it, and the balloon falls down.
Soon after the first hot-air balloon was flown, people began trying huge balloons that could carry passengers a long way. Called airships, some of these used hydrogen (氢气) instead of hot air because hydrogen has a much lower density than air. However, hydrogen burns, and it caused blow-ups. Today, airships are filled with helium (氦气), which has a low density but doesn’t burn.
1.What can we know about hot-air balloons according to the text?
A.They can move around freely. B.They fly higher than other airships.
C.They’re the oldest form of travel. D.They work by heating the air inside.
2.Which picture best describes “The hot-air balloon is falling down.”?
A. B. C. D.
3.Why is helium used in modern airships instead of hydrogen?
A.It’s easier to produce than hydrogen. B.It’s light and it’s safer than hydrogen.
C.It can make airships fly much faster. D.It can spread out faster than hydrogen.
4.Why can birds use rising air to fly higher?
A.Warm air rises and lifts them up. B.The Sun carries them upward.
C.The wind directly pushes them up. D.The ground gives them power.
5.What is the text mainly about?
A.It tells the history and safety rules of old airships.
B.It shows how people heat and cool hot-air balloons.
C.It introduces how birds use rising air to fly in the sky.
D.It explains the science of hot air and its uses in flying.

Passage 1
(2026·河北唐山·一模)
Plants are very important for all living things on the earth. Life could not go on well if there were no plants around us. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight through a special process. Animals and humans cannot make food in this way, so they have to depend on plants directly or indirectly.
Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals that feed on plants. Humans get meat, vegetables, fruit and many other daily foods from plants, too. Besides providing food, plants also help keep the air clean and fresh. They take in carbon dioxide that humans and animals breathe out and produce enough oxygen for us to breathe every day.
However, every year, people cut down millions of trees for wood or land, and some even destroy forests for farming. This makes the air dirtier, the weather warmer and the whole environment worse. To solve these problems, many countries make strict laws to stop cutting down young trees and protect forests.
Some people set up special nature parks to save rare plants that are in danger of disappearing. Students can also help a lot by planting trees on hills, saving paper in daily life and telling others the importance of plants. The pollution around us is becoming more serious, but small and kind actions can still make a big difference. If everyone tries to love, care for and protect plants, our earth will certainly become greener and more beautiful for everyone to live in.
