专题03 阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·浙江金华·模拟预测） Cities are growing, and green spaces are shrinking. But a new idea—“vertical forests”—is changing this. These are buildings covered with thousands of plants, turning concrete towers into living ecosystems. The first vertical forest opened in Milan, Italy, in 2014. It has two towers, with over 900 trees and 20,000 smaller plants like bushes and flowers. The plants aren’t just for beauty. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas that warms the planet, and release oxygen. They also block sunlight, keeping the buildings cool in summer and reducing the need for air conditioning. But how do the plants survive (存活)? Special systems water them through pipes hidden in the walls. The trees are chosen for their size, so they won’t grow too tall and damage the building. Roots are contained in strong pots to prevent them from breaking windows or walls. Critics say vertical forests are expensive to build and maintain. However, supporters argue the benefits are worth it. In addition to fighting pollution, the forests attract birds and insects, bringing nature back to busy cities. “They show that humans and nature can live together in harmony,” says architect Stefano Boeri, who designed the Milan towers. 1．What is a “vertical forest”? A．A tower made entirely of concrete. B．A large park in the middle of a city. C．A building covered with many plants. D．A forest where trees grow extremely tall. 2．What is one benefit of vertical forests mentioned? A．They make buildings look older and more traditional. B．They reduce the need for air conditioning in summer. C．They allow plants to grow much taller than normal. D．They provide free food from fruit trees for people. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Why the roots are safe. B．How tall the trees can grow. C．Where the plants are placed. D．How plants live in vertical forests. 4．What do supporters of vertical forests believe? A．They cost much but bring no good. B．Only large cities can benefit from them. C．They will replace all traditional buildings soon. D．Humans and nature can live together peacefully. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了“垂直森林”这一新型建筑理念，以米兰的垂直森林为例，说明了其环保功能、植物存活方式以及支持者和批评者的不同观点。 1．第一段指出垂直森林的定义：“These are buildings covered with thousands of plants”，说明是被大量植物覆盖的建筑。 2．第二段指出垂直森林的作用：“They also block sunlight, keeping the buildings cool in summer and reducing the need for air conditioning.”，说明它们能减少夏季对空调的需求。 3．第三段围绕植物如何在垂直森林中存活展开，介绍了浇水系统、树木选择和根系处理，因此主要讲“植物如何在垂直森林中生存”。 4．最后一段指出支持者的观点：“They show that humans and nature can live together in harmony”，说明他们认为人与自然可以和平共处。 Passage 2 （2026·陕西西安·二模）Alongside the traditional New Year’s Eve dinner, the Spring Festival Gala has become another important feast for Chinese families. For decades, they have gathered to watch this grand show. In recent years, to share the nation’s cultural specialties, the Gala has introduced branch venues（分会场）. For the 2026 Year of the Horse, four cities have been selected.

Started in 1993, the International Panda Festival is a celebration of giant pandas. It takes place on Sept. 22 every year. Giant pandas are loved around the world for their cute faces and playful nature. Today, new technology is helping protect them and give them better care. Here are some cool examples. Checking with an appCan you tell pandas Hua Hua, Meng Lan, and Fu Bao apart? A special app can! You just upload a photo. The app looks at the panda’s eyes, ears, mouth and the black-and-white face markings. It also checks their body shape and the way they move. This is even harder than recognizing people’s faces! Giving wild pandas an IDScientists collect panda droppings (粪便) to get DNA from them. The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are. With this, each wild panda gets its own “passport”. Real-time monitoringSpecial solar-powered (太阳能的) cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night.

The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are.” 说明收集粪便的目的是获取DNA并了解熊猫的相关信息。因此选D。 2．第四段介绍实时监控技术：“Special solar-powered cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night.” 说明太阳能摄像机和5G技术可以帮助科学家全天候监控熊猫。因此选B。 3．全文介绍了多种新技术在大熊猫保护中的应用，包括识别应用程序、DNA分析、实时监控系统等。因此文章主旨是新技术正在帮助保护和照顾大熊猫。因此选D。 Passage 5 （2026·浙江湖州·一模）A study in the AHA (美国心脏协会) Journal Circulation shows that eating five servings (份) of fruit and vegetables a day may lower the risk of death by 13%. Researchers studied data from over 100,000 men and women. The study started in the mid-1980s and ended in 2014. The testers were asked about their diet at the beginning of the study, and again every two to four years. By the end of the study, 33,898 testers had died.    The study found that people who ate two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables daily had the lowest chance of death. However, eating more than five total servings a day did not make the risk lower. Compared with those who ate only two servings a day, people who ate five servings were: ➤10% less likely to die from cancer ➤12% less likely to die from heart disease ➤35% less likely to die from lung disease ➤13% less likely to die from all causes To make the result more believable, the researchers combined their data with 24 other studies. In total, they looked at 1.9 million people from 29 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, North America and South          America. They got the same result: five servings a day led to a 13% lower risk of death from any cause. But lead author Dr. Dong Wang said not all fruits and vegetables are the same. Some may cause health problems. For example, starchy (淀粉类) vegetables like corn and potatoes didn’t help lower the death risk. Fruit juices were also not helpful. Stick to five servings a day, and keep your plate colorful. Small changes in your food choices can lead to big health benefits over time. 1．How does the writer introduce the study? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By describing feelings. 2．According to the study, who possibly has the lowest risk of death? A．People who drink fruit juice or eat fruit very often. B．People who focus on diet to lose weight every day. C．People who eat two fruits and three vegetables a day. D．People who change their diets every two to four years. 3．Why does the writer mention corn and potatoes in Paragraph 6? A．To explain they are unhealthy foods. B．To tell us they are starchy vegetables. C．To suggest we should eat more of them. D．To show vegetables have different effects. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Fruit Juice: A Healthy Daily Drink B．Sports & Diet: Good for Our Health C．Daily Choice: Keep Your Plate Colorful D．Fruit & Vegetables: The More, the Better 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了美国心脏协会《Circulation》期刊的一项研究，该研究表明每天吃5份果蔬（2份水果+3份蔬菜）可降低13%的死亡风险，同时指出并非所有果蔬都有此效果，淀粉类蔬菜和果汁无帮助，且过量食用不会进一步降低风险。 1．对应全文，文章开篇用“lower the risk of death by 13%”，后续列举“over 100,000 men and women”“33,898 testers had died”“10% less likely to die from cancer”等大量数据介绍研究，因此作者是通过列数字的方式介绍研究。 2．对应第3段，文中提到“The study found that people who ate two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables daily had the lowest chance of death.”，可知每天吃2份水果和3份蔬菜的人死亡风险最低。 3．对应第6段，文中提到“not all fruits and vegetables are the same. Some may cause health problems. For example, starchy vegetables like corn and potatoes didn’t help lower the death risk.”，可知作者举玉米和土豆的例子是为了说明不同蔬菜对健康的影响不同。 4．对应全文，文章核心是每天吃5份多样果蔬（保持餐盘多彩）对健康的益处，结尾也提到“Stick to five servings a day, and keep your plate colorful.”，A选项果汁并非健康饮品，B选项未提及运动，D选项“越多越好”与原文“eating more than five total servings a day did not make the risk lower”矛盾，因此最佳标题为C。 Passage 6 （2026·浙江温州·一模） “Which bag charm (包包挂饰) should I take with me today?” This simple question shows a new fashion across China. If you look around on the streets, you can see different kinds of bag charms. Nowadays, they have become an important part of the “emotional economy (情绪经济)”. Bag charms are popular mainly because they bring special emotional value. “When I feel tired after an exam, my cute panda charm always cheers me up,” said a student. For teenagers, bag charms also make it easy to start talks and make friends. When they find a classmate with the same charm, they can share their likes. According to Xu Xinyue, a teacher at the Institute for Cultural Industries of Shenzhen University, “Bag charms meet young people’s needs well. They give young people a chance to share their feelings. They bring them happiness, show their own styles and connect them with others.” Bag charms also influence production in the toy industry. With AI and 3D printing, toy factories can create new cartoon characters fast. A company in Yiwu even makes about 100 kinds of new products every month, or three to four new designs each day. These days, factory orders are becoming smaller and more flexible. They produce only about 50 pieces and test new ideas fast. If the charm is not popular among young people, the factories will design new ones right away. In Shipai, Dongguan, many toy factories work closely together. This helps them make bag charms quickly. With China’s delivery system (运送系统), new charms can reach shops in just three to seven days. So, which bag charm will you take tomorrow? A tiny charm on your bag can be a small piece of who you are. It also shows a new way of making things—smaller, faster, and made just for you. 1．How does the writer lead the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 2．What does Xu Xinyue think of bag charms? A．They are cute for young people. B．They help people with their feelings. C．They help students do well in exams. D．They let teachers know students better. 3．What does the underlined word “flexible” in Para. 3 probably means? A．High in price. B．Hard to move. C．Easy to change. D．Large in number. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To share different bag charms. B．To tell the history of bag charms. C．To show the influence of bag charms. D．To explain changes in Chinese factories. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了包包挂饰在中国流行的原因，包括其带来的情绪价值、社交功能以及对玩具产业生产模式的影响。 1．第一段以问题“Which bag charm should I take with me today?”开头，引出话题。 2．第二段徐心月指出：“They give young people a chance to share their feelings...bring them happiness”，说明她认为包包挂饰能帮助人们表达情感。 3．第三段中“flexible”所在句为：“factory orders are becoming smaller and more flexible”，结合后文工厂快速测试新设计，说明“flexible”意为“易于变化的”。 4．全文围绕包包挂饰的流行及其带来的影响展开，介绍了其情绪价值、社交功能以及对产业模式的影响。 Passage 7 （2026·浙江·一模）You might think that a map is nothing more than a drawing of an area, such as a city or a country. Maps are important tools to make sure we don’t get lost and they also tell us how humans think, feel and live. The history of maps goes back more than 5,000 years. The earliest surviving map of the world is an earth tablet (碑) from Babylon. It shows Babylon in the centre, the River Euphrates and the oceans and mountains nearby. The people of ancient Greece and the Romans made maps. However, it was Ptolemy, an Egyptian scientist, who changed them forever. He marked about 10,000 places by creating a system. It used lines called latitude and longitude which are still used today to mark areas on a map. After the fall of the Roman Empire, maps made in Europe became more about storytelling. They were often made in monasteries (修道院) and mapmakers put what was most important to them at the centre on the map. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, new ideas and inventions were changing the world. Ships were crossing oceans and countries were building new empires, so accurate (准确的) maps appeared. Mapmakers were influenced by Ptolemy’s ideas and the invention of printing meant the monasteries were not the only places that could produce maps. Today, the development of technology has made maps more helpful than ever. However, some experts worry that our blind trust in technology means we are losing our natural sense of direction. There have been reports of people driving into lakes, deserts or other countries by mistake after following GPS. Perhaps we’re no smarter than the people in Babylon after all. 1．Where is the first surviving map from? A．Egypt. B．Babylon. C．Rome. D．Greece. 2．What’s the big change about maps between the 15th and 17th centuries? A．Latitude and longitude were first used. B．People depended on GPS to travel. C．More places were correctly marked on maps. D．Mapmakers used maps to tell stories. 3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．We need to train our natural sense of direction often. B．Mapmakers in Babylon had better-developed brains. C．Modern-day maps can tell how humans live and what they think. D．People can’t blindly follow the instructions of GPS while traveling. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Finding Your Way Without Help B．Mapping the World C．Old Tablets and Modern-day GPS D．Different Drawings of Areas 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了地图的发展历史，从古代巴比伦的泥板地图到现代技术下的GPS导航，并探讨了地图在不同时期的功能演变以及现代人对技术依赖可能带来的问题。 1．第二段句子“The earliest surviving map of the world is an earth tablet from Babylon.”指出现存最早的世界地图来自巴比伦。 2．第五段句子“Ships were crossing oceans and countries were building new empires, so accurate maps appeared.”指出，在15到17世纪之间，由于航海和帝国扩张的需要，出现了准确的地图，即地图上能够更准确地标记更多地点。 3．最后一段中句子“our blind trust in technology means we are losing our natural sense of direction. There have been reports of people driving into lakes, deserts or other countries by mistake after following GPS.”指出，盲目信任GPS会导致人们失去方向感，甚至发生危险，因此可以推断出人们旅行时不能盲目跟随GPS的指示。 4．文章第一段引出地图的主题，第二段至第五段按时间顺序讲述了地图从古代到近代的发展历史，最后一段讲述了现代地图与科技结合带来的影响。全文围绕地图的演变展开，因此“Mapping the World”作为标题最能概括文章内容。 Passage 8 （2026·浙江·一模）Imagine a cute cat doll that can talk to you with lively looks, a smart globe that introduces local cultures wherever you tap, or a little robot ready for a game of chess. These are not common toys—they use artificial intelligence (AI) to listen and act. Such “smart companions (陪伴者)” are becoming popular around the world. China’s AI toy market is expected to reach 29 billion yuan this year. Big international companies like Mattel and OpenAI are also planning to bring out AI products for kids. Experts say these toys are created to provide support and companionship. By building a close relationship with users, they are leading a new trend (潮流). “More and more young people are willing to pay for warmth and companionship, and AI companionship is a perfect example,” said Sun Zhaozhi, CEO of a Shanghai AI toy company. Besides support, AI toys might change how children learn and grow. They can act like private teachers, help to make personal study plans and play fun games with kids. However, there are risks. AI might sometimes give unsafe suggestions. For example, one AI teddy bear told researchers where to find dangerous things. There are also worries about privacy, as these toys could collect personal information. Another problem is that AI companions might only say what users want to hear. This could make it harder for young users to deal with real-world relationships. Therefore, ▲ . These could include stricter age limits (限制) for chatbot use and stricter rules for AI companies. At the same time, parents should think carefully before letting a machine—one that only agrees with their child—become a daily companion. 1．Why are AI toys becoming popular all over the world? A．They are cheaper than common ones. B．They can be good supporters. C．They are produced by big companies. D．They can help get better grades. 2．Which word can best describe the future of AI toys according to Sun Zhaozhi? A．Worrying. B．Risky. C．Unclear. D．Bright. 3．Which can best fill in the blank in the last paragraph? A．AI toys will bring more problems. B．similar worries have been raised. C．some basic safety rules are needed. D．AI may influence people’s daily life. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To discuss the advantages and risks of AI toys. B．To encourage more companies to produce AI toys. C．To warn parents against buying AI toys for children. D．To explain why AI toys are becoming popular in China. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了AI玩具在全球逐渐流行的原因、优势、潜在风险以及应对措施。文章通过引用专家观点和市场数据，全面分析了AI玩具对儿童学习成长的影响及未来发展趋势。 1．文章第二段：“Experts say these toys are created to provide support and companionship. By building a close relationship with users, they are leading a new trend (潮流).”，表明人工智能玩具成为全球流行的原因是它们能成为很好的支持者，能提供支持和陪伴。 2．文章第三段：“‘More and more young people are willing to pay for warmth and companionship, and AI companionship is a perfect example,’ said Sun Zhaozhi, CEO of a Shanghai AI toy company.”，孙照智认为越来越多的年轻人愿意为温暖和陪伴付费，人工智能陪伴就是个很好的例子，由此可推断出他认为人工智能玩具的未来是光明的。 3．文章最后一段：“These could include stricter age limits (限制) for chatbot use and stricter rules for AI companies.”，这里提到了一些具体的措施，如更严格的聊天机器人使用年龄限制和更严格的人工智能公司规则，所以空白处应该是说需要一些基本的安全规则。 4．文章前半部分介绍了人工智能玩具的优势，如能提供支持和陪伴、改变孩子学习和成长的方式等；后半部分则阐述了其存在的风险，如可能给出不安全建议、存在隐私问题、可能影响年轻人处理现实世界关系等，所以文章的主要目的是讨论人工智能玩具的优势和风险。 Passage 9 （2026·浙江金华·模拟预测）Ever felt stuck on a math problem, only to solve it after a walk? That’s your brain taking a “break” and science says it’s more important than you think. When we focus hard, our brains use a lot of energy. After 45-60 minutes, they start to feel tired, making it harder to concentrate. Taking short breaks, called “mental rests”, lets them recharge. But not all breaks are equal: scrolling through phones doesn’t count. Why? Because screens keep your brain active, flooding it with new information and stopping it from relaxing. So what works? Moving your body: a quick jog, stretching, or even just walking around the classroom. Nature helps too—studies show looking at trees or grass for 5 minutes boosts focus by 15%. Another good choice? Daydreaming. Letting your mind wander can spark (激发) creativity, like when a writer gets ideas for a story while staring out the window. Timing matters too. Experts suggest the“50-5 rule”: work for 50 minutes, then rest for 5. Next time you’ re stuck, try this: set a timer for 5 minutes, step outside, and listen to birds. You might be surprised how much clearer your brain feels when you get back to work— ready to tackle that problem with fresh energy. 1．Why does the writer mention the math problem at the beginning of the passage? A．To share a surprising study result. B．To draw readers’ attention to the topic. C．To explain how to solve difficult math problems. D．To show that walking is good for physical health. 2．How can daydreaming help? A．It makes us forget difficult tasks. B．It can increase creativity. C．It helps us fall asleep quickly. D．It improves math skills. 3．Which best explains the underlined word “boosts” in Paragraph 3? boost /buːst/ ① to increase or improve something. ② to make someone feel happier or more confident. ③ to push someone up with your hands. ④ to make a loud noise. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What can we infer from the “50-5 rule” in Paragraph 4? A．Students should rest for 5 minutes every hour. B．The longer the break, the better the brain works. C．Working non-stop can lead to bad study results. D．We must set a timer to solve math problems quickly. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了大脑在专注学习/工作后需要 “精神休息”，并阐述了有效休息的方式、好处及 “5-5规则”，说明科学的休息对大脑恢复至关重要。 1．第一段“Ever felt stuck on a math problem, only to solve it after a walk? That’s your brain taking a ‘break’ and science says it’s more important than you think.”开篇用“做题卡壳→散步后解决” 的生活场景设问，目的是吸引读者注意力，引出 “大脑休息” 这一主题，而非分享研究结果、讲解解题方法或说明步行的健身益处，因此选B。 2．第三段“Daydreaming. Letting your mind wander can spark creativity.”原文直接指出“白日梦能激发创造力”，与B选项 “它能提升创造力” 完全对应。 3．第三段第三句“studies show looking at trees or grass for 5 minutes boosts focus by 15%”结合语境，“看树或草5分钟” 是积极的休息方式，能对 “专注力” 产生正向作用，①“提升/改善某事物” 符合；②指情绪提升、③指肢体推扶、④指制造噪音均与 “专注力” 无关，故选①。 4．第四段第二句“Experts suggest the ‘50-5 rule’: work for 50 minutes, then rest for 5.” “50-5 规则” 强调工作50分钟后休息5分钟，反推可知“持续不间断工作会影响效率/结果”，对应C选项。 Passage 10 （2026·浙江湖州·一模）Am I Real or AI?     Imagine you are shown 10 photos of faces and told that half are real, and the other half are made by AI. Can you recognize (识别) the real ones just by looking? You might think this is an easy task, but a new study shows it is far more challenging than we believe. Today’s AI-generated (生成) faces look surprisingly real, making it difficult for most people to tell the difference. Researchers tested 125 people to see if they could discover which faces were AI-made. One-third of them were “super recognizers” — people who are especially skilled at remembering and recognizing faces in daily life. However, in this study, these experts got only 57% correct on average, while the other people got 51% correct, almost no different from blind guessing. Early AI-generated faces often had clear mistakes and were easy to notice. As AI technology improves rapidly, it has learned from millions of real faces and become much smarter. Besides, there are better ways to make the pictures clear and beautiful. Now AI-generated faces look so perfect that people can hardly tell them from real ones. This has become a growing challenge in our world. Telling real faces from AI ones is becoming harder every day. “For years, we believed photos showed real people and real situations,” said researcher James Dunn. But now when we look at pictures online, we may no longer trust “ ▲ ”. We should be more careful with fake (假的) AI images on social media and other websites. The team plans to study the top performers in the tests and find out the secrets behind their ability to identify AI-generated faces. In the future, they hope to create simple and useful tools to help people tell real faces from AI-generated ones more easily. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Sharing photos online. B．Looking at the photos. C．Making AI-generated faces. D．Telling real faces from AI ones. 2．What can we learn about “super recognizers” from the passage? A．They could perform perfectly in the test. B．They got 51% correct on average in the test. C．They like creating different kinds of AI faces. D．They are especially good at recognizing faces. 3．Which of the following is mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．When the early AI-generated faces appeared. B．Why today’s AI faces are hard to recognize. C．Who will create a new tool for telling AI faces. D．How many people can easily discover AI faces. 4．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．Seeing is believing. B．No pains, no gains. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Well begun is half done. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文围绕AI生成人脸的识别难题展开，介绍了相关研究发现，分析了如今AI人脸难以分辨的原因，并提出了对网络虚假图片的警示及未来工具研发的展望。 1．对应第2段，文中提到“You might think this is an easy task, but a new study shows it is far more challenging than we believe.”，结合前文第一段的问题“Can you recognize the real ones just by looking?”，可知“it”指代的是区分真实人脸和AI生成人脸这件事。 2．对应第3段，文中提到“One-third of them were “super recognizers” — people who are especially skilled at remembering and recognizing faces in daily life.”，可知“super recognizers”是特别擅长识别人脸的人。 3．对应第4段，文中提到“Early AI-generated faces often had clear mistakes... As AI technology improves rapidly, it has learned from millions of real faces and become much smarter... Now AI-generated faces look so perfect that people can hardly tell them from real ones.”，该段解释了如今AI人脸难以识别的原因。 4．对应第5段，文中提到“For years, we believed photos showed real people and real situations... But now when we look at pictures online, we may no longer trust '▲'”，结合语境可知，过去人们相信“眼见为实”，但AI图片的出现让我们无法再相信看到的就是真实的，因此填入“Seeing is believing（眼见为实）”最符合语境。 Passage 11 （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。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·浙江金华·模拟预测）In 2026, the “Love Meal (❤)” public welfare project has been widely carried out across China, warming millions of workers with new employment forms. These people, including delivery riders, couriers and online car-hailing drivers, are the silent contributors to our cities. They rush through the streets from dawn to dusk, rain or shine, to make our daily life more convenient. However, for a long time, they struggled to have a hot, cheap and nutritious meal. Their tight work schedules and irregular working hours left them little time to sit down for a proper meal, which became a small but real trouble in their work and life. To solve this problem and show sincere care, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions joined hands with a national shopping platform and over 100,000 restaurants nationwide. The government, platforms and restaurants share the meal cost together, greatly reducing the workers’ economic burden. Now they can get a warm meal with meat and vegetable dishes for only about 8 yuan. Special service points are set up in logistics parks, business districts and other busy areas; with a quick QR code scan, they can get meals in 30 seconds without waiting. Many cities add warm details: some offer local food coupons, others provide “no-get-off” service for riders to save time. This project is more than just a meal—it’s the whole society’s thanks to them, letting every hard-working person feel the warmth of the city and know their efforts are worthy and seen. 1．Why couldn’t the new workers have good meals before? A．They lacked money for nutritious meals. B．They were too busy for hot and cheap meals. C．They can’t find restaurants when working. D．They disliked the taste of restaurant food. 2．Who launched the 2026 “Love Meal” project? A．Local government. B．A national platform. C．Local restaurant owners. D．Business districts. 3．What do we know about the “Love Meal” project? A．It only serves delivery riders. B．Workers need to wait long. C．It makes city contributors feel care. D．Its meals are more expensive. 4．Which is the best title for the passage? A．Hard-Working Silent City Contributors B．A New Employment Form in 2026 C．Warm Meals, Warm Hearts in 2026 D．Different Local Delicious Meals in China 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了2026年在全国范围内广泛开展的“爱心餐”公益项目，该项目通过政府、平台和餐厅共同分担餐费的方式，为外卖骑手、快递员等新就业形态劳动者提供价格低廉、营养均衡的热餐，体现了社会对他们的关怀与感谢。 1．第一段明确指出：“However, for a long time, they struggled to have a hot, cheap and nutritious meal. Their tight work schedules and irregular working hours left them little time to sit down for a proper meal”，说明这些新就业形态劳动者之前因为工作繁忙、工作时间不规律，没有时间坐下来好好吃饭，因此难以吃上热乎乎、便宜且有营养的饭菜。 2．第二段明确指出：“the All-China Federation of Trade Unions joined hands with a national shopping platform and over 100,000 restaurants nationwide”，说明该项目由中华全国总工会联合一个全国性购物平台及全国超过10万家餐厅共同发起。 3．最后一段明确指出：“This project is more than just a meal—it’s the whole society’s thanks to them, letting every hard-working person feel the warmth of the city”，说明该项目让城市贡献者感受到了关怀。 4．全文围绕2026年“爱心餐”公益项目展开，介绍了项目的背景、发起方式、具体措施及其社会意义，温暖人心的餐食与温暖人心的社会关怀相呼应，因此最合适的标题是“2026年，暖餐暖心”。 Passage 2 （2026·浙江温州·一模） Technology Time The technology in China is developing really fast, and most of them can be used in people’s daily life.

Its main goal is to provide fast and trustworthy internet to every corner of the world, especially in isolated (偏远的) areas where traditional services cannot reach. Unlike old satellite systems, Starlink uses thousands of small satellites that orbit (绕轨道运行) close to the Earth. Because of the short distance, signals travel much faster. This allows users to enjoy a smooth online experience. To get the service, users only need a small dish (天线). It works well in villages, mountains, and faraway places. People there can make video calls, study online, and watch videos without difficulty. Many schools in isolated areas now use Starlink to help students take online courses that were once impossible to get. The project began in 2015, and since then, many satellites have been sent into space. Starlink helps bridge the digital divide (鸿沟) and supports communication during natural disasters  (灾难). When storms or earthquakes destroy ground networks, Starlink often becomes the only way for people to stay connected with the outside world. However, Starlink also faces problems. Too many satellites may create space junk, which can harm astronomical research. Scientists are trying to find solutions, such as designing satellites that can safely return to Earth after they stop working. Even so, Starlink is changing global connectivity. It shows how modern technology can bring people closer together, no matter where they live. 1．Why can Starlink provide faster internet than old satellite systems? A．It orbits at a low height. B．It uses larger dishes. C．It works in big cities only. D．It serves more users. 2．What is one way Starlink helps isolated regions? A．It builds more school buildings. B．It offers online courses to students. C．It provides electricity to villages. D．It repairs ground-based networks. 3．What is a challenge that Starlink faces? A．It is too slow for online courses. B．It is only available in isolated areas. C．It may create harmful space rubbish. D．It cannot work during natural disasters. 4．Which is the best title for the passage?

The China Jingdezhen International Ceramics Expo has a trading center with nearly 1,000 international ceramic brands. It has built a global network for ceramic trade. The Taoxichuan Spring & Autumn Art Fair brings global artists and craftsmen (手艺人) together for cultural exchanges. In the city, there are more than 60,000 “Jingpiaos”. They are people from other places who came to search for their dreams. Foreigners can often be seen in workshops, shops, and schools. With ceramics as a connection, Jingdezhen invites people from all over the world to create different kinds of artistic works. It has become a dream city for ceramic artists and a good place to learn about Chinese culture. At the same time, Jingdezhen is quickly “going international”. In 2023, the official flagship store of Jingdezhen opened in Dubai. It gives local ceramic companies a new chance for cultural exchanges and foreign trade. Since 2013, the average yearly growth of Jingdezhen’s ceramic export (出口) has been more than 20 percent. The city has set up international centers for experiencing ceramic culture in Italy and many other countries.

It has a long history. Many people believe it is the future of plant growing. However, for a long time, this technology was only used in labs or big farms. Ordinary people could never try it by themselves. Now, with the world’s first soil-free growing system on the desk, everyone can try this special way of planting easily at home. Such a wonderful system comes from a great product—the Izestee Plant Cultivator. It is not a common plant pot. It looks like a clear box. In it, the roots hang in the air with no soil or water around, and only mist comes out slowly from the bottom of the pot. So people can watch the roots grow in real time, such as how fast they grow and how they grow new parts, and find early problems with the roots in time. Besides the parts that send out water at the bottom, Izestee has other useful parts. For example, it has a heating system inside with a highest temperature of 45℃. It also includes a watering system with three mist modes (模式). It can provide the right amount of water for different plants. What’s more, it provides a special light. The light is like natural sunlight. Even if there is not much sunshine indoors, the plants can grow well. Izestee really takes the cool technology into everyone’s daily life. It is really amazing to watch the plant grow new roots on your desk. This product helps people get closer to nature and fall in love with planting. Its website says that with Izestee, plant growth becomes a live show that people can watch every day at home. 1．Which picture best shows “aeroponics”?

But a new idea—“vertical forests”—is changing this. These are buildings covered with thousands of plants, turning concrete towers into living ecosystems. The first vertical forest opened in Milan, Italy, in 2014. It has two towers, with over 900 trees and 20,000 smaller plants like bushes and flowers. The plants aren’t just for beauty. They absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), the gas that warms the planet, and release oxygen. They also block sunlight, keeping the buildings cool in summer and reducing the need for air conditioning. But how do the plants survive (存活)? Special systems water them through pipes hidden in the walls. The trees are chosen for their size, so they won’t grow too tall and damage the building. Roots are contained in strong pots to prevent them from breaking windows or walls. Critics say vertical forests are expensive to build and maintain. However, supporters argue the benefits are worth it. In addition to fighting pollution, the forests attract birds and insects, bringing nature back to busy cities. “They show that humans and nature can live together in harmony,” says architect Stefano Boeri, who designed the Milan towers. 1．What is a “vertical forest”? A．A tower made entirely of concrete. B．A large park in the middle of a city. C．A building covered with many plants. D．A forest where trees grow extremely tall. 2．What is one benefit of vertical forests mentioned? A．They make buildings look older and more traditional. B．They reduce the need for air conditioning in summer. C．They allow plants to grow much taller than normal. D．They provide free food from fruit trees for people. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Why the roots are safe. B．How tall the trees can grow. C．Where the plants are placed. D．How plants live in vertical forests. 4．What do supporters of vertical forests believe? A．They cost much but bring no good. B．Only large cities can benefit from them. C．They will replace all traditional buildings soon. D．Humans and nature can live together peacefully.

Started in 1993, the International Panda Festival is a celebration of giant pandas. It takes place on Sept. 22 every year. Giant pandas are loved around the world for their cute faces and playful nature. Today, new technology is helping protect them and give them better care. Here are some cool examples. Checking with an appCan you tell pandas Hua Hua, Meng Lan, and Fu Bao apart? A special app can! You just upload a photo. The app looks at the panda’s eyes, ears, mouth and the black-and-white face markings. It also checks their body shape and the way they move. This is even harder than recognizing people’s faces! Giving wild pandas an IDScientists collect panda droppings (粪便) to get DNA from them. The DNA shows whether the panda is male or female, where it lives and how many pandas there are. With this, each wild panda gets its own “passport”. Real-time monitoringSpecial solar-powered (太阳能的) cameras and 5G can watch pandas day and night. The system sends live video and can also identify (识别) other animals. This helps scientists protect pandas and their forest friends. 1．Why do scientists collect panda droppings? A．To give each panda a real passport. B．To count the number of pandas in the world. C．To check whether the pandas are healthy or not. D．To get DNA and learn about the pandas’ information. 2．What helps scientists watch pandas 24 hours a day? A．Special app. B．Solar-powered cameras and 5G. C．Panda droppings. D．Face recognition technology. 3．What is the main idea of the text? A．We can use an app to tell different pandas apart. B．Giant pandas are one of China’s most beloved animals. C．Scientists are trying to protect pandas from dying out. D．New technology is helping to protect and care for giant pandas. Passage 5 （2026·浙江湖州·一模）A study in the AHA (美国心脏协会) Journal Circulation shows that eating five servings (份) of fruit and vegetables a day may lower the risk of death by 13%. Researchers studied data from over 100,000 men and women. The study started in the mid-1980s and ended in 2014. The testers were asked about their diet at the beginning of the study, and again every two to four years. By the end of the study, 33,898 testers had died.    The study found that people who ate two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables daily had the lowest chance of death. However, eating more than five total servings a day did not make the risk lower. Compared with those who ate only two servings a day, people who ate five servings were: ➤10% less likely to die from cancer ➤12% less likely to die from heart disease ➤35% less likely to die from lung disease ➤13% less likely to die from all causes To make the result more believable, the researchers combined their data with 24 other studies. In total, they looked at 1.9 million people from 29 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, North America and South          America. They got the same result: five servings a day led to a 13% lower risk of death from any cause. But lead author Dr. Dong Wang said not all fruits and vegetables are the same. Some may cause health problems. For example, starchy (淀粉类) vegetables like corn and potatoes didn’t help lower the death risk. Fruit juices were also not helpful. Stick to five servings a day, and keep your plate colorful. Small changes in your food choices can lead to big health benefits over time. 1．How does the writer introduce the study? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By describing feelings. 2．According to the study, who possibly has the lowest risk of death? A．People who drink fruit juice or eat fruit very often. B．People who focus on diet to lose weight every day. C．People who eat two fruits and three vegetables a day. D．People who change their diets every two to four years. 3．Why does the writer mention corn and potatoes in Paragraph 6? A．To explain they are unhealthy foods. B．To tell us they are starchy vegetables. C．To suggest we should eat more of them. D．To show vegetables have different effects. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Fruit Juice: A Healthy Daily Drink B．Sports & Diet: Good for Our Health C．Daily Choice: Keep Your Plate Colorful D．Fruit & Vegetables: The More, the Better Passage 6 （2026·浙江温州·一模） “Which bag charm (包包挂饰) should I take with me today?” This simple question shows a new fashion across China. If you look around on the streets, you can see different kinds of bag charms. Nowadays, they have become an important part of the “emotional economy (情绪经济)”. Bag charms are popular mainly because they bring special emotional value. “When I feel tired after an exam, my cute panda charm always cheers me up,” said a student. For teenagers, bag charms also make it easy to start talks and make friends. When they find a classmate with the same charm, they can share their likes. According to Xu Xinyue, a teacher at the Institute for Cultural Industries of Shenzhen University, “Bag charms meet young people’s needs well. They give young people a chance to share their feelings. They bring them happiness, show their own styles and connect them with others.” Bag charms also influence production in the toy industry. With AI and 3D printing, toy factories can create new cartoon characters fast. A company in Yiwu even makes about 100 kinds of new products every month, or three to four new designs each day. These days, factory orders are becoming smaller and more flexible. They produce only about 50 pieces and test new ideas fast. If the charm is not popular among young people, the factories will design new ones right away. In Shipai, Dongguan, many toy factories work closely together. This helps them make bag charms quickly. With China’s delivery system (运送系统), new charms can reach shops in just three to seven days. So, which bag charm will you take tomorrow? A tiny charm on your bag can be a small piece of who you are. It also shows a new way of making things—smaller, faster, and made just for you. 1．How does the writer lead the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 2．What does Xu Xinyue think of bag charms? A．They are cute for young people. B．They help people with their feelings. C．They help students do well in exams. D．They let teachers know students better. 3．What does the underlined word “flexible” in Para. 3 probably means? A．High in price. B．Hard to move. C．Easy to change. D．Large in number. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To share different bag charms. B．To tell the history of bag charms. C．To show the influence of bag charms. D．To explain changes in Chinese factories. Passage 7 （2026·浙江·一模）You might think that a map is nothing more than a drawing of an area, such as a city or a country. Maps are important tools to make sure we don’t get lost and they also tell us how humans think, feel and live. The history of maps goes back more than 5,000 years. The earliest surviving map of the world is an earth tablet (碑) from Babylon. It shows Babylon in the centre, the River Euphrates and the oceans and mountains nearby. The people of ancient Greece and the Romans made maps. However, it was Ptolemy, an Egyptian scientist, who changed them forever. He marked about 10,000 places by creating a system. It used lines called latitude and longitude which are still used today to mark areas on a map. After the fall of the Roman Empire, maps made in Europe became more about storytelling. They were often made in monasteries (修道院) and mapmakers put what was most important to them at the centre on the map. Between the 15th and 17th centuries, new ideas and inventions were changing the world. Ships were crossing oceans and countries were building new empires, so accurate (准确的) maps appeared. Mapmakers were influenced by Ptolemy’s ideas and the invention of printing meant the monasteries were not the only places that could produce maps. Today, the development of technology has made maps more helpful than ever. However, some experts worry that our blind trust in technology means we are losing our natural sense of direction. There have been reports of people driving into lakes, deserts or other countries by mistake after following GPS. Perhaps we’re no smarter than the people in Babylon after all. 1．Where is the first surviving map from? A．Egypt. B．Babylon. C．Rome. D．Greece. 2．What’s the big change about maps between the 15th and 17th centuries? A．Latitude and longitude were first used. B．People depended on GPS to travel. C．More places were correctly marked on maps. D．Mapmakers used maps to tell stories. 3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．We need to train our natural sense of direction often. B．Mapmakers in Babylon had better-developed brains. C．Modern-day maps can tell how humans live and what they think. D．People can’t blindly follow the instructions of GPS while traveling. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Finding Your Way Without Help B．Mapping the World C．Old Tablets and Modern-day GPS D．Different Drawings of Areas Passage 8 （2026·浙江·一模）Imagine a cute cat doll that can talk to you with lively looks, a smart globe that introduces local cultures wherever you tap, or a little robot ready for a game of chess. These are not common toys—they use artificial intelligence (AI) to listen and act. Such “smart companions (陪伴者)” are becoming popular around the world. China’s AI toy market is expected to reach 29 billion yuan this year. Big international companies like Mattel and OpenAI are also planning to bring out AI products for kids. Experts say these toys are created to provide support and companionship. By building a close relationship with users, they are leading a new trend (潮流). “More and more young people are willing to pay for warmth and companionship, and AI companionship is a perfect example,” said Sun Zhaozhi, CEO of a Shanghai AI toy company. Besides support, AI toys might change how children learn and grow. They can act like private teachers, help to make personal study plans and play fun games with kids. However, there are risks. AI might sometimes give unsafe suggestions. For example, one AI teddy bear told researchers where to find dangerous things. There are also worries about privacy, as these toys could collect personal information. Another problem is that AI companions might only say what users want to hear. This could make it harder for young users to deal with real-world relationships. Therefore, ▲ . These could include stricter age limits (限制) for chatbot use and stricter rules for AI companies. At the same time, parents should think carefully before letting a machine—one that only agrees with their child—become a daily companion. 1．Why are AI toys becoming popular all over the world? A．They are cheaper than common ones. B．They can be good supporters. C．They are produced by big companies. D．They can help get better grades. 2．Which word can best describe the future of AI toys according to Sun Zhaozhi? A．Worrying. B．Risky. C．Unclear. D．Bright. 3．Which can best fill in the blank in the last paragraph? A．AI toys will bring more problems. B．similar worries have been raised. C．some basic safety rules are needed. D．AI may influence people’s daily life. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To discuss the advantages and risks of AI toys. B．To encourage more companies to produce AI toys. C．To warn parents against buying AI toys for children. D．To explain why AI toys are becoming popular in China. Passage 9 （2026·浙江金华·模拟预测）Ever felt stuck on a math problem, only to solve it after a walk? That’s your brain taking a “break” and science says it’s more important than you think. When we focus hard, our brains use a lot of energy. After 45-60 minutes, they start to feel tired, making it harder to concentrate. Taking short breaks, called “mental rests”, lets them recharge. But not all breaks are equal: scrolling through phones doesn’t count. Why? Because screens keep your brain active, flooding it with new information and stopping it from relaxing. So what works? Moving your body: a quick jog, stretching, or even just walking around the classroom. Nature helps too—studies show looking at trees or grass for 5 minutes boosts focus by 15%. Another good choice? Daydreaming. Letting your mind wander can spark (激发) creativity, like when a writer gets ideas for a story while staring out the window. Timing matters too. Experts suggest the“50-5 rule”: work for 50 minutes, then rest for 5. Next time you’ re stuck, try this: set a timer for 5 minutes, step outside, and listen to birds. You might be surprised how much clearer your brain feels when you get back to work— ready to tackle that problem with fresh energy. 1．Why does the writer mention the math problem at the beginning of the passage? A．To share a surprising study result. B．To draw readers’ attention to the topic. C．To explain how to solve difficult math problems. D．To show that walking is good for physical health. 2．How can daydreaming help? A．It makes us forget difficult tasks. B．It can increase creativity. C．It helps us fall asleep quickly. D．It improves math skills. 3．Which best explains the underlined word “boosts” in Paragraph 3? boost /buːst/ ① to increase or improve something. ② to make someone feel happier or more confident. ③ to push someone up with your hands. ④ to make a loud noise. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What can we infer from the “50-5 rule” in Paragraph 4? A．Students should rest for 5 minutes every hour. B．The longer the break, the better the brain works. C．Working non-stop can lead to bad study results. D．We must set a timer to solve math problems quickly. Passage 10 （2026·浙江湖州·一模）Am I Real or AI?     Imagine you are shown 10 photos of faces and told that half are real, and the other half are made by AI. Can you recognize (识别) the real ones just by looking? You might think this is an easy task, but a new study shows it is far more challenging than we believe. Today’s AI-generated (生成) faces look surprisingly real, making it difficult for most people to tell the difference. Researchers tested 125 people to see if they could discover which faces were AI-made. One-third of them were “super recognizers” — people who are especially skilled at remembering and recognizing faces in daily life. However, in this study, these experts got only 57% correct on average, while the other people got 51% correct, almost no different from blind guessing. Early AI-generated faces often had clear mistakes and were easy to notice. As AI technology improves rapidly, it has learned from millions of real faces and become much smarter. Besides, there are better ways to make the pictures clear and beautiful. Now AI-generated faces look so perfect that people can hardly tell them from real ones. This has become a growing challenge in our world. Telling real faces from AI ones is becoming harder every day. “For years, we believed photos showed real people and real situations,” said researcher James Dunn. But now when we look at pictures online, we may no longer trust “ ▲ ”. We should be more careful with fake (假的) AI images on social media and other websites. The team plans to study the top performers in the tests and find out the secrets behind their ability to identify AI-generated faces. In the future, they hope to create simple and useful tools to help people tell real faces from AI-generated ones more easily. 1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Sharing photos online. B．Looking at the photos. C．Making AI-generated faces. D．Telling real faces from AI ones. 2．What can we learn about “super recognizers” from the passage? A．They could perform perfectly in the test. B．They got 51% correct on average in the test. C．They like creating different kinds of AI faces. D．They are especially good at recognizing faces. 3．Which of the following is mentioned in Paragraph 4? A．When the early AI-generated faces appeared. B．Why today’s AI faces are hard to recognize. C．Who will create a new tool for telling AI faces. D．How many people can easily discover AI faces. 4．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．Seeing is believing. B．No pains, no gains. C．Practice makes perfect. D．Well begun is half done. Passage 11 （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. 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·浙江金华·模拟预测）In 2026, the “Love Meal (❤)” public welfare project has been widely carried out across China, warming millions of workers with new employment forms. These people, including delivery riders, couriers and online car-hailing drivers, are the silent contributors to our cities. They rush through the streets from dawn to dusk, rain or shine, to make our daily life more convenient. However, for a long time, they struggled to have a hot, cheap and nutritious meal. Their tight work schedules and irregular working hours left them little time to sit down for a proper meal, which became a small but real trouble in their work and life. To solve this problem and show sincere care, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions joined hands with a national shopping platform and over 100,000 restaurants nationwide. The government, platforms and restaurants share the meal cost together, greatly reducing the workers’ economic burden. Now they can get a warm meal with meat and vegetable dishes for only about 8 yuan. Special service points are set up in logistics parks, business districts and other busy areas; with a quick QR code scan, they can get meals in 30 seconds without waiting. Many cities add warm details: some offer local food coupons, others provide “no-get-off” service for riders to save time. This project is more than just a meal—it’s the whole society’s thanks to them, letting every hard-working person feel the warmth of the city and know their efforts are worthy and seen. 1．Why couldn’t the new workers have good meals before?

Passage 4 （2026·浙江绍兴·一模） Elon Musk’s Starlink is a satellite (卫星) internet project run by SpaceX. Its main goal is to provide fast and trustworthy internet to every corner of the world, especially in isolated (偏远的) areas where traditional services cannot reach. Unlike old satellite systems, Starlink uses thousands of small satellites that orbit (绕轨道运行) close to the Earth. Because of the short distance, signals travel much faster. This allows users to enjoy a smooth online experience. To get the service, users only need a small dish (天线). It works well in villages, mountains, and faraway places. People there can make video calls, study online, and watch videos without difficulty. Many schools in isolated areas now use Starlink to help students take online courses that were once impossible to get. The project began in 2015, and since then, many satellites have been sent into space. Starlink helps bridge the digital divide (鸿沟) and supports communication during natural disasters  (灾难). When storms or earthquakes destroy ground networks, Starlink often becomes the only way for people to stay connected with the outside world. However, Starlink also faces problems. Too many satellites may create space junk, which can harm astronomical research. Scientists are trying to find solutions, such as designing satellites that can safely return to Earth after they stop working. Even so, Starlink is changing global connectivity. It shows how modern technology can bring people closer together, no matter where they live. 1．Why can Starlink provide faster internet than old satellite systems? A．It orbits at a low height. B．It uses larger dishes. C．It works in big cities only. D．It serves more users. 2．What is one way Starlink helps isolated regions? A．It builds more school buildings.
