The only thing clear was that Mama was 1 with my hair. She tried to brush gently, but the brush got stuck again. However, my grandfather, Papou, always said, “You are a one-of-a-kind girl with wonderfully 2 hair.” Mama asked her friend Kiki, who was in a beauty school, to give me a haircut. “Costadena.” Kiki finally arrived. “Time to say bye to your wild hair.” I lifted up my 3 to fan my neck covered in sweat (汗水). “Is there something easy? Not tangled (缠绕在一起的)?” Kiki considered for a moment, then gathered her own hair into a knot. “Look. You could cut it like this. It would feel much cooler. What do you think?” She looked neat and pretty. Looking at my own messy hair, I 4 her style. “Cut it,” I said. Snip. Snip. Hair rained onto the floor. I looked at it and bit my lip. What had I just agreed to? “It’s — it’s too 5 !” “It’ll be easy,” Kiki said. “And now we can see more of your beautiful face.” But her words couldn’t make me feel any better. When Mama came home, she was all 6 . “This cut is so stylish, Costadena. So pretty!” We heard a voice from outside. Papou! “Let’s go and 7 him.” Mama said and we walked outside. “Is that Costadena?” He stopped for a second with eyes widening. I didn’t think he liked it. My tears started rolling down. “Do I still remind you of that one-of-a-kind girl?” I asked quietly. I noticed my mother narrow her eyes before Papou 8 . “Of course, sweetheart.” By the weekend, the weather was even hotter, and we went to Lake Michigan. I felt a gust of wind by the beach. “Wild child!” Papou called. “Let’s go 9 .” Jumping into the water, I found my head sprang up fast and free. No hair covered my eyes. Again and again I jumped into the water and flew out toward the sky. After a bath, I brushed my hair 10 , with no more tangles. Kiki was right. Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw just me. I wore a butterfly hair clip and smiled. 1．A．careful B．careless C．patient D．impatient 2．A．soft B．long C．thick D．wild 3．A．ears B．eyes C．hair D．nose 4．A．refused B．disliked C．noticed D．preferred 5．A．short B．long C．dry D．wet 6．A．energy B．praise C．heart D．pride 7．A．surprise B．guide C．treat D．invite 8．A．insisted B．explained C．asked D．replied 9．A．fishing B．boating C．sailing D．swimming 10．A．easily B．slowly C．gently D．carefully 【答案】 1．D 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．A 6．B 7．A 8．D 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了主人公因天生杂乱难梳理的蓬乱头发而烦恼，在他人劝说下剪掉长发，经历内心的纠结不安后，最终接纳自我、获得内心平和与成长的故事。 1．句意：唯一清楚的是，妈妈对我的头发不耐烦了。 后文“She tried to brush gently, but the brush got stuck again.“，妈妈多次轻柔梳理头发，可梳子总是被打结的头发卡住，体现出妈妈对此感到不耐烦，impatient意为“不耐烦的”，符合语境。 2．句意：你是独一无二的女孩，有着极具特色的天然蓬乱的头发。 后文多处原词复现“Time to say bye to your wild hair.”、“Wild child!”，全文始终用wild形容主人公天生杂乱不羁的头发。 3．句意：我抬起我的头发，来扇走脖颈上的汗水。 后文“to fan my neck covered in sweat”，结合生活常识，要给闷热的脖颈扇风散热需要拨开头发，hair符合句意。 4．句意：看着我自己杂乱的头发，我更喜欢她的造型。 前文理发师展示了自己整洁好看的发型，对比自身乱糟糟的头发，主人公内心不喜欢原本的发型，更倾向于她的发型，因此答应剪发，preferred“偏爱，更喜欢”符合语境。 5．句意：头发变得太短了！ 前文主人公下定决心剪掉长发，剪下头发后内心慌张后悔，感慨剪完的头发太短了，short“短的”，对应剪发后的状态。 6．句意：妈妈回家后，满是夸赞。 后文“This cut is so stylish, Costadena. So pretty!”，妈妈看到主人公的新发型，说出了大量夸赞的话语，praise意为“表扬、夸赞”，符合语境。 7．句意：我们出去，给他一个惊喜。 祖父突然前来拜访，妈妈提议出门迎接，想让祖父见到剪发后的主人公，给对方一份惊喜，surprise意为“使惊喜”符合语境。 8．句意：我注意到妈妈眼神一紧，随后祖父做出了回应。 前文主人公向祖父说出内心的疑问，此处指祖父对主人公的提问进行回答、回应，replied意为“回复、回答”，符合对话逻辑。 9．句意：我们去游泳吧。 后文“Again and again I jumped into the water”，祖父呼喊主人公下水嬉戏，对应活动为游泳，swimming“游泳” 符合下水的情节。 10．句意：洗完澡后，我轻松地梳着头，头发再也不打结了。 后文“with no more tangles”头发不再缠绕打结，说明梳头的过程变得轻松简单，easily意为“轻松地、容易地”，呼应开篇梳头艰难的情节，形成全文首尾对比。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京·模拟预测）Reading about weather in books is one thing. Living through a natural disaster was another thing though the flood was not too bad. It all started two days ago. It was a rainy day, like every other rainy day. The only unusual thing was how 1 the adults seemed to be getting. It didn’t look like the rain was going to stop anytime soon. I didn’t really know what that meant for us, 2 Mom was always saying that rain was good for all the plants. The next morning I went down for breakfast. Neither Mom nor Dad was at the kitchen table. The lights all over the house were 3 . I went to get out the milk, but a note on the refrigerator told me not to open the door. As I was 4 what to eat for breakfast, I noticed that the rain was still going. I could hear 5 coming from the basement (地下室). Looking through the basement door, I saw there was water down there! It didn’t look like a lot, but there were toys and things floating (漂浮) by! I could hear Mom and Dad’s voices. “Hello? What’s going on down here?” I called down the stairs. “Good morning, Vicky. Our basement is 6 . The power all over town is out. We are pumping the water out by hand.” Dad called back. Not too long after, they came back upstairs. “Once the power comes back, we’re going to find some fans to try to 7 the basement. It’s quite a 8 . There are things that got all wet.” Mom said. We decided to drive around. A lot of roads were 9 because water was covering the road. The houses by the river were in the river. We stopped to help people who were filling bags with sand. The bags helped to keep away the water. I couldn’t believe how much the flood was affecting (影响) us! When we finished filling up sandbags, we drove back home. We didn’t have power and fixing the basement could get 10 .

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I wanted to do something meaningful. The experience turned out to be more rewarding than I could have imagined. When I arrived, I saw children of different ages playing in the yard. They came from poor families and didn’t have many toys or books. A little boy named Sam caught my attention. He was sitting alone in the corner, looking at a picture book with great 1 . I walked over and asked if he wanted me to read to him. His eyes 2 up immediately. As I read, more children gathered around. They laughed at the funny parts and asked questions about the story. 3 , I noticed that reading aloud was not just entertaining them—it was helping them learn new words and express their thoughts. After finishing the book, Sam 4 me, “Can you come again tomorrow?” I promised him I would. Day after day, I returned to read with the children. They began to 5 their own stories and draw pictures about what they heard. Sam, who used to be quiet, became one of the most active 6 . One afternoon, Sam handed me a piece of paper. It was a drawing of me reading to the children, with the words “Thank you for making us 7 ” written at the bottom. My heart melted. I realized that the small act of reading could bring so much 8 to others. Through this experience, I learned that you don’t need to do something 9 to make a difference. Sometimes the simplest actions, like sharing a story, can 10 someone’s world. I continue to volunteer there, and every time I see the children’s smiling faces, I know I’ve made the right choice. 1．A．interest B．difficulty C．fear D．doubt 2．A．lit B．gave C．woke D．stood 3．A．Suddenly B．Luckily C．Gradually D．Strangely 4．A．warned B．asked C．told D．showed 5．A．create B．borrow C．buy D．hide 6．A．readers B．listeners C．speakers D．writers 7．A．happy B．nervous C．tired D．bored 8．A．trouble B．money C．joy D．stress 9．A．ordinary B．great C．dangerous D．easy 10．A．break B．enter C．brighten D．forget 【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．B 7．A 8．C 9．B 10．C 【导语】本文讲述了作者在社区中心做志愿者，通过给孩子们读书的小事，给孩子们带来了快乐与改变，也让自己明白了微小善举也能带来积极影响的故事。 1．句意：他独自坐在角落里，饶有兴致地看着一本图画书。 根据上下文，小男孩独自坐着看图画书，应是带着浓厚的兴趣，interest“兴趣”符合语境。difficulty“困难”、fear“害怕”、doubt“怀疑”均不符合语境。 2．句意：他的眼睛立刻亮了起来。 根据“I walked over and asked if he wanted me to read to him.”可知，小男孩听到有人要给他读书，眼睛立刻亮了，lit up为固定搭配，表示“亮起来”，符合语境。gave up“放弃”、woke up“醒来”、stood up“站起来”均不符合语境。 3．句意：渐渐地，我注意到大声朗读不仅能逗他们开心，还能帮助他们学习新单词、表达想法。 根据“I noticed that reading aloud was not just entertaining them—it was helping them learn new words and express their thoughts.”可知，随着朗读的进行，作者慢慢发现了朗读的更多好处，Gradually“渐渐地”符合语境。Suddenly“突然”、Luckily“幸运地”、Strangely“奇怪地”均不符合语境。 4．句意：读完这本书后，山姆问我：“你明天还能来吗？” 根据引号里的问句，此处表示山姆向作者提问，asked“询问”符合语境。warned“警告”、told“告诉”、showed“展示”均不符合语境。 5．句意：他们开始创作自己的故事，并根据听到的内容画画。 根据上下文，孩子们听了故事后，开始自己创作故事，create“创作”符合语境。borrow“借”、buy“买”、hide“隐藏”不符合语境。 6．句意：曾经很安静的山姆，成了最活跃的听众之一。 根据前文作者给孩子们读书，山姆从安静变得活跃，说明他是最活跃的听众之一，listeners“听众”符合语境。readers“读者”、speakers“说话者”、writers“作者”均不符合语境。 7．句意：上面写着“谢谢你让我们开心”。 根据前文孩子们的积极反应，以及后文作者的感悟，读书让孩子们感到开心，happy“开心的”符合语境。nervous“紧张的”、tired“疲惫的”、bored“无聊的”均不符合语境。 8．句意：我意识到，读书这个小小的举动可以给别人带来这么多快乐。 根据前文孩子们的变化和山姆的感谢，作者意识到读书给孩子们带来了快乐，joy“快乐”符合语境。trouble“麻烦”、money“钱”、stress“压力”均不符合语境。 9．句意：通过这次经历，我明白了你不需要做什么大事来改变现状。 根据后文“Sometimes the simplest actions, like sharing a story”，说明不需要做大事，great“大的”符合语境。ordinary“普通的”、dangerous“危险的”、easy“容易的”均不符合语境。 10．句意：有时候最简单的行为，比如分享一个故事，就能照亮一个人的世界。 根据上下文，读书给孩子们带来了积极的影响，brighten“照亮”符合语境。break“打破”、enter“进入”、forget“忘记”均不符合语境。 Passage 4 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）The first week of middle school felt like walking onto a giant stage (舞台) where everyone except me seemed to know their roles. I felt even 1 as others’ confident conversation made them seem bigger. During the English class, my worst fear came true. The teacher gave us a task. “Let me 2 it,” she added, “you should find a partner to talk about our school life.” Soon, my heart began to race. “Hey, want to be partners?” A girl asked. “I’m Sarah.” I whispered, “O … Okay.” “Don’t worry,” she said, “I get 3 when I give a speech, too. We can help each other.” Her words lit a spark (火花) of 4 inside me. Maybe it was a chance to prove myself. We first listed our 5 : my fear of speaking in public and her trouble in preparing ideas. Sarah shared her past experiences to calm me down, and I helped 6 points. At first, the words often got stuck in our mouths, and the speech was all broken up. To speak 7 , we kept repeating the words after class. 8 on the morning of our speech, Sarah looked sad. “I worked hard at home, yet I forgot everything just now,” she said. For a moment, my old fear came back. However, then I remembered how much we had 9 together. “I’ll help you.” When the teacher called our names, we began. Halfway through, Sarah stopped. I saw her hands shake a little. It was time for me to be her 10 . I added the next point. Sarah continued. When we finished, the class cheered. “You saved me,” Sarah said. “We saved each other,” I smiled. “We are far more than partners.” Walking out, I realized that with a friend and practice, even the scariest stage is a place to shine—together. 1．A．worse B．smaller C．weaker D．shyer 2．A．expect B．express C．explain D．explore 3．A．cool B．relaxed C．crazy D．nervous 4．A．love B．pride C．hope D．interest 5．A．worries B．mistakes C．reasons D．secrets 6．A．share B．check C．organize D．understand 7．A．carefully B．smoothly C．quickly D．loudly 8．A．But B．And C．So D．Or 9．A．worried B．practiced C．promised D．complained 10．A．helper B．teacher C．listener D．leader 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了两人互帮互助，克服演讲恐惧、共同成长的故事。 1．句意：他人的自信言谈让他们显得高大，这让我感到自己更加渺小。 根据“made them seem bigger”可知，此处表示对比，别人的高大让我看起来更渺小，smaller“更小”。worse“更差”、weaker“更虚弱的”和shyer“更害羞的”均不符合。 2．句意：她补充道：“让我来解释一下。” 根据下文“you should find a partner to talk about our school life”可知，老师解释了任务是什么，explain“解释”。expect“期待”、express“表达”和explore“探索”均不符合。 3．句意：我演讲的时候也会紧张。 根据下文“my fear of speaking in public”可知，“我”害怕在公共场合讲话，所以演讲时应是会紧张，nervous“紧张的”。cool“酷的”、relaxed“放松的”和crazy“疯狂的”均不符合。 4．句意：她的话在我心中点燃了希望的火花。 根据下文“Maybe it was a chance to prove myself.”可知，“我”认为这可能是证明自己的机会，所以应是燃起了希望的火花，hope“希望”。love“爱”、pride“骄傲”和interest“兴趣”均不符合。 5．句意：我们首先列出了我们的担忧：我害怕在公共场合发言，她在准备想法方面有困难。 下文说“我”害怕在公共场合发言，萨拉不擅长整理思路，这些是两人各自的担忧，worries“担忧”。mistakes“错误”、reasons“原因”和secrets“秘密”均不符合。 6．句意：莎拉分享了她过去的经历，让我冷静下来，我帮助组织要点。 上文说萨拉不擅长整理思路，所以“我”帮助她组织要点，organize“组织”。share“分享”、check“检查”和understand“理解”均不符合。 7．句意：为了说得流畅，我们课后不停地重复那些话。 上文提到“我们”练习时经常卡壳，所以是为了说得流畅，smoothly“流畅地”。carefully“小心地”、quickly“迅速地”和loudly“大声地”均不符合。 8．句意：但在我们演讲的那天早上，萨拉看起来很悲伤。 上文说两人努力练习，下文说萨拉演讲当天早上很沮丧，是转折关系，用But“但是”连接句子。And“和”、So“所以”和Or“或者；否则”均逻辑不符。 9．句意：然而，后来我想起我们一起练习了很多。 此处指“我”想起两人一起练习的过程，决定帮助萨拉，practiced“练习”。worried“担忧”、promised“承诺”和complained“抱怨”均不符合。 10．句意：是时候我当她的帮手了。 根据下文“I added the next point.”可知，萨拉卡壳时，“我”补充接下来的要点，所以是当她的帮手，helper“帮手”。teacher“老师”、listener“听众”和leader“领导”均不符合。 Passage 5 （2026·江苏南京·模拟预测）When I was in Grade 7, I was a very shy boy. I was afraid to speak in front of others. Every time the teacher asked a question, I would 1 my head down and hope not to be called on. One day, our English teacher, Mrs. Li, announced that each student would have to give a short speech in class. My heart sank. I thought, “I can’t do this. Everyone will 2 at me.” I tried to find an excuse. I told Mrs. Li that I was too nervous. She smiled gently and said, “Mike, the only way to grow is to face your 3 . Why not start by writing down what you want to say?” So I went home and wrote a short speech about my favorite hobby—reading. I practiced 4 the mirror every night. At first, my voice was so 5 that I could hardly hear myself. But day by day, I got a little better. The big day arrived. My heart was beating fast when my name was called. I stood up and walked to the front. For a moment, my mind went 6 . I forgot everything. I looked at my classmates. Some were smiling, some were waiting. Then I saw Mrs. Li nod at me 7 . I took a deep breath and began. The first few sentences came out shaky, but I kept going. To my surprise, the words started to 8 naturally. When I finished, the whole class clapped. That day, I learned an important lesson: the biggest enemy is not others, but our own fear. I realized that I was stronger than I thought. Since then, I have never 9 a chance to speak in public. Every time I feel afraid, I tell myself, “Just take that first 10 .” That small step changed me forever. 1．A．put B．keep C．get D．make 2．A．laugh B．shout C．point D．look 3．A．problems B．fears C．mistakes D．failures 4．A．behind B．beside C．in front of D．in the front of 5．A．low B．loud C．clear D．sweet 6．A．empty B．dark C．wild D．blank 7．A．bravely B．angrily C．kindly D．quickly 8．A．come out B．run out C．break out D．turn out 9．A．avoided B．missed C．refused D．accepted 10．A．step B．word C．look D．chance 【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．A 6．D 7．C 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在七年级的时候很害羞，不敢在公开场合讲话。但是他的英语老师布置了一篇公开演讲的作业，在经过练习之后，作者完成了演讲，他意识到自己比想象中的更坚强。 1．句意：每次老师提问时，我都会低下头，希望不要被叫到。 作者害羞，老师提问时他都会低下头，put one’s head down“埋头、低下头”。keep down“控制”、get down“下来”、make down“改小”都不符合文意。 2．句意：所有人都会嘲笑我。 作者害羞不敢演讲，担心大家嘲笑他，laugh at“嘲笑”，符合语境。shout at“对……大喊”、point at“指向”、look at“看”都不符合。 3．句意：迈克，成长的唯一途径就是直面你的恐惧。 作者本来就害怕当众讲话，老师鼓励他“成长的唯一方式是面对恐惧”，fears“恐惧”符合文意。problems“问题”、mistakes“错误”、failures“失败”不符合。 4．句意：我每天晚上都在镜子前练习。 作者对着镜子练习，in front of表示“在物体外部的前面”，符合“站在镜子外面前方练习”的语境；in the front of指“在物体内部的前部”，不符合；behind“在……后面”、beside“在……旁边”也不符合。 5．句意：起初，我的声音很低，几乎听不见自己的声音。 后文提到“我几乎听不到自己的声音”，说明一开始声音很低，low“（声音）低的”符合语境。loud“大声的”、clear“清楚的”、sweet“甜美的”都不符合。 6．句意：有那么一会儿，我的脑子一片空白。 作者上台紧张，大脑一片空白。go blank“（大脑）一片空白”，对应后文“我忘记了所有内容”。 7．句意：然后我看见李老师友善地朝我点了点头。 老师在鼓励紧张的作者，因此是友善地点头，kindly“友善地”，符合语境。bravely“勇敢地”、angrily“生气地”、quickly“快速地”都不符合。 8．句意：令我惊讶的是，这些话开始自然地说出了。 作者放松后，话语自然而然地说出来，come out“出来，说出”符合文意。run out“用完”、break out“爆发”、turn out“结果是”都不符合。 9．句意：从那以后，我从未错过在公共场合发言的机会。 作者克服恐惧后，再也没有错过当众演讲的机会，miss a chance“错过机会”，符合文意。avoided“避免”、refused“拒绝”、accepted“接受”都不符合。 10．句意：每次我感到害怕，我都会告诉自己，“只要跨出那第一步。” 文章最后一句提到That small step changed me forever，此处前后呼应，表示“只要跨出第一步”，step“步”符合语境。 Passage 6 （2026·江苏无锡·一模） For years, I fought against self-doubt. Middle school was especially difficult. I had back pain and kept 1 the American College Test, or ACT. It felt like suffering after suffering. I kept thinking, “What’s the 2 ?” But something deep inside me said “Keep going.” So I did. After three tries, I 3 passed. Still, the self-doubt remained. To manage, I started writing. At first, it was just an expression of the thoughts in my head. I poured everything onto the page: anger, confusion, hope... Every word helped weaken my self-doubt a bit. As I wrote, something changed. I started sharing my story of trying to 4 myself. The more I shared, the more I realized my story could encourage someone else. That was a turning point. I put my stories into a book and had it published. I never expected my words to reach 5 the pages of my notebook, but they did. Since then, I have spoken on stages, and connected with people who once misunderstood themselves, like I did. What 6 is knowing that someone, somewhere, might hear my stories and think, “I’m not 7 . I’m not the only one who has self-doubt.” For those reading this, if you feel 8 about achieving your dreams, please know: Everything will be OK and your future will be bright. Even when it feels like you are not making any 9 , it might just be one small challenge on your way to something greater. Be patient. Success doesn’t happen suddenly. It takes time. Nothing will change 10 you take the first step. Now pick up your pen and pour your thoughts and feelings out onto the page. 1．A．failing B．missing C．refusing D．questioning 2．A．reason B．result C．pleasure D．point 3．A．suddenly B．finally C．quickly D．slowly 4．A．look after B．show off C．push for D．believe in 5．A．through B．beyond C．over D．during 6．A．lasts B．works C．matters D．minds 7．A．alone B．mad C．poor D．terrible 8．A．curious B．nervous C．excited D．crazy 9．A．sense B．effort C．progress D．difference 10．A．after B．when C．if D．unless 【答案】 1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．B 9．C 10．D 【导语】本文讲述作者多年与自我怀疑抗争，通过写作分享经历、出版书籍鼓励他人，并鼓励读者勇敢追梦。 1．句意：我背部疼痛，并且一直未能通过美国大学入学考试（ACT）。 后文“It felt like suffering after suffering.”及“After three tries”表明，作者考试多次失败，应用failing。missing“错过”、refusing“拒绝”、questioning“质疑”均不符合“多次受苦”的逻辑。 2．句意：我一直在想：“意义是什么？” “What’s the point?”是固定表达，意为“这有什么意义？”，符合作者因多次失利而迷茫的心态，应用point。reason“原因”、result“结果”、pleasure“乐趣”均不符合作者失败后迷茫的心态。 3．句意：三次尝试后，我终于通过了。 根据“After three tries”，可知是经过努力最终成功，应用finally。suddenly“突然”、quickly“快速地”、slowly“慢地”均不符合。 4．句意：我开始分享自己努力相信自己的故事。 文章开篇提到作者与自我怀疑抗争，此处分享的是克服自我怀疑、相信自己的经历，应用believe in。look after“照顾”、show off“炫耀”、push for“推动”均不符合主旨。 5．句意：我从未想过我的文字能超越笔记本的纸页，但它们做到了。 前文介绍作者把故事写成书并出版，说明文字从笔记本走向了更广阔的世界，也就是“超出”了笔记本的范围，应用beyond。through“通过”、over“在……上”、during“在……期间”均不符合。 6．句意：重要的是，知道某个地方的某个人，可能听到我的故事并想：“我不是孤独的。我不是唯一一个有自我怀疑的人。” “What matters is ...”是固定表达，意为“重要的是……”，符合语境，强调作者认为这件事的意义所在。lasts“持续”、works“工作”、minds“介意”均不符合。 7．句意：重要的是，知道某个地方的某个人，可能听到我的故事并想：“我不是孤独的。我不是唯一一个有自我怀疑的人。” “I’m not the only one who has self-doubt.”表明此处是指不是孤独的，应用alone。mad“发疯的”、poor“贫穷的”、terrible“糟糕的”与后文“the only one”不对应。 8．句意：对于读到这里的人，如果你对实现梦想感到焦虑，请知道：一切都会好起来，你的未来会很光明。 根据后文作者的鼓励“Everything will be OK”，可知此处指人们追梦时的焦虑不安，应用nervous。curious“好奇的”、excited“兴奋的”、crazy“疯狂的”均与后文语境不符。 9．句意：即使当你感觉没有取得任何进步时，这可能只是你通往更伟大事物路上的一个小挑战。 根据上下文，此处是指在追梦路上没有取得任何进步，应用progress。sense“感觉”、effort“努力”、difference“差异”均不符合。 10．句意：除非你迈出第一步，否则什么都不会改变。 根据逻辑，“不迈出第一步就不会有改变”，空后句是前句的否定条件，应用unless引导条件状语从句。if是肯定条件，不符合逻辑。 Passage 7 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）I remember turning on my iPad one day in Grade 5 after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas.

These horse-related sayings provide fascinating glimpses (一瞥) into Chinese culture and ancient 1 . “A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. It describes someone with amazing talent or potential (潜能). Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “Thousand-mile horses” who 2 great things. The idiom comes from ancient times when people believed certain legendary (传奇的) horses could run 1,000 miles in a single day. “A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another meaning to this idea. 3 talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders who can 4 talented people (“good riders”) are uncommon. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough—you need someone who 5 you and gives you chances. “Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who keeps searching for better chances while 6 their present situation. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical, ambitious (有抱负的) people who never stop improving themselves. “An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with 7 . Just as an old horse remembers the safest paths through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. This idiom shows that Chinese 8 the elders and their plenty of knowledge. “A painted horse won’t run” warns against valuing appearance over substance (实质). No matter how beautifully you paint a horse, it will never run. 9 , beautiful promises without real action are worthless. This idiom teaches Chinese to value practical results over 10 words. These horse idioms show how ancient Chinese people observed (观察) horses’ strength, speed, and intelligence, turning these observations into timeless lessons about human nature and success. 1．A．palace B．wonder C．victory D．wisdom 2．A．achieve B．afford C．avoid D．accept 3．A．Since B．If C．Although D．When 4．A．discover B．train C．understand D．serve 5．A．agrees with B．cares for C．depends on D．believes in 6．A．failing B．dividing C．managing D．refusing 7．A．ability B．memory C．experience D．honor 8．A．record B．respect C．remind D．require 9．A．Simply B．Exactly C．Properly D．Similarly 10．A．empty B．correct C．real D．helpful 【答案】 1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．D 6．C 7．C 8．B 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文通过介绍与马相关的中国成语，揭示了这些成语背后蕴含的古代智慧和人生哲理，如人才需要伯乐、经验的价值、重实质轻空谈等，展现了古人如何从对马的观察中提炼出永恒的人生启示。 1．句意：这些与马相关的谚语为我们提供了了解中国文化和古代智慧的有趣视角。 文章介绍的是成语背后的哲理，这些哲理属于古代的“智慧”。wisdom符合文意。palace“宫殿”、wonder“奇迹”、victory“胜利”均与成语所承载的文化内涵无关。 2．句意：中国父母常用这句话鼓励孩子，希望他们成为“成就大事”的千里马。 “成就大事”应用achieve great things。afford“负担得起”、avoid“避免”、accept“接受”均不符合对千里马的期待。 3．句意：虽然有才华的人（“千里马”）可能很常见，但能发现人才的好领导（“好骑手”）却很少见。 前后分句之间为让步转折关系，应用Although引导让步状语从句。Since“既然”、If“如果”、When“当……时”均不能准确表达这种对比关系。 4．句意：虽然有才华的人（“千里马”）可能很常见，但能发现人才的好领导（“好骑手”）却很少见。 根据成语“千里马常有，而伯乐不常有”的寓意，伯乐的作用是“发现”人才。discover符合文意。train“训练”、understand“理解”、serve“服务”均不符合伯乐与千里马的关系。 5．句意：你需要一个相信你并给你机会的人。 伯乐对千里马不仅是发现，更是“信任”。believes in“相信”符合语境。agrees with“同意”、cares for“关心”、depends on“依赖”均不准确。 6．句意：这个成语描述的是那些在管理好当前状况的同时不断寻找更好机会的人。 “骑在马上找马”意味着先稳定现有局面，再寻求更好机会。managing“管理、应对”符合这一含义。failing“失败”、dividing“分开”、refusing“拒绝”均不符合。 7．句意：“老马识途”赞颂的是伴随经验而来的智慧。 老马能认路靠的是多年积累的“经验”。experience符合文意。ability“能力”、memory“记忆”、honor“荣誉”均不准确。 8．句意：这个成语表明中国人尊重长者和他们丰富的知识。 尊老爱幼是传统美德，此处应用respect“尊重”。record“记录”、remind“提醒”、require“要求”均不符合。 9．句意：同样地，没有实际行动的美好承诺也是毫无价值的。 前文说画得再美的马也不会跑，后文说空头承诺毫无价值，两者是类比关系，应用Similarly“同样地”。Simply“简单地”、Exactly“确切地”、Properly“恰当地”均不恰当。 10．句意：这个成语教导中国人重视实际结果而非空话。 与“实际结果”相对的是“空话”，应用empty words表示“空洞的言语”。correct“正确的”、real“真实的”、helpful“有帮助的”均不能体现空谈无用的寓意。 Passage 10 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Former Olympic cyclist Mia Carter shares a story of a 12-year-old boy named Leo who dreamed of joining the town’s cycling club. Leo lived with his grandma, and they could hardly 1 a proper racing bike—they even struggled (奋斗) to buy daily things. He only had an old, rusty (生锈的) bike, and its chain often got stuck. Every afternoon, Leo would watch the club 2 train in the park. He rode his shaky bike after that, practicing until dark. The coach, Mr. Hale, 3 how hard Leo tried, but he knew the old bike would never let him keep up. Still, Leo never 4 a single practice. He fixed his bike by himself whenever it 5 , using parts he collected from junkyards. One week before the town’s youth cycling race, Leo’s bike frame (框架) broke completely. He felt very 6 —he thought his dream was gone. But the next morning, he 7 a beautiful racing bike outside his door! A note from Mr. Hale said: “Your 8 means more than any expensive bike.” It turned out that the coach asked the team to help fix his old frame. On race day, Leo didn’t win the first place, but he finished the race without any problems. Mr. Hale then invited him to join the club. Leo said later, “The old bike taught me not to give up—and the new one taught me 9 is the best prize.” Leo kept that 100 in his bike bag for years, and whenever he met problems in his cycling career, he would take it out and read it. It reminded him of what changed his life. 1．A．check B．waste C．afford D．control 2．A．teachers B．owners C．members D．visitors 3．A．doubted B．admired C．forgot D．hated 4．A．missed B．watched C．planned D．enjoyed 5．A．flew away B．broke down C．got lost D．broke into 6．A．sad B．excited C．proud D．hopeful 7．A．designed B．found C．borrowed D．sold 8．A．money B．talent C．patience D．effort 9．A．kindness B．fame C．money D．luck 10．A．card B．letter C．picture D．note 【答案】 1．C 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 6．A 7．B 8．D 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了12岁男孩Leo家境贫寒，用旧自行车坚持训练，教练被他的努力打动，并邀请他加入俱乐部，Leo领悟到努力与善意的价值。 1．句意：Leo和奶奶一起生活，他们几乎买不起一辆像样的赛车——甚至连买日常用品都很困难。 根据下文，“他们连买日常用品都很困难”说明Leo和奶奶买不起赛车。应用afford表示“买得起”。 2．句意：每天下午，Leo都会在公园里看俱乐部成员训练。 根据上文，Leo梦想加入骑行俱乐部，因此他每天下午看的是俱乐部成员训练。应用members表示“成员”。 3．句意：教练Hale先生很钦佩Leo的努力，但他知道这辆旧车永远无法让他跟上进度。 根据上文，教练看到Leo的努力练习，内心应是钦佩、赞赏的。应用admired表示“钦佩，赞赏”。 4．句意：尽管如此，Leo从未错过任何一次练习。 根据上文，Leo坚持训练到天黑，说明他非常重视练习，不会错过任何一次练习。应用missed表示“错过”。 5．句意：每当自行车出故障，他就用从废品场收集的零件自己修理。 根据上文，Leo的自行车很旧，每当车子出故障时，他就自己修理。应用broke down表示“出故障”。 6．句意：他非常难过——觉得自己的梦想破灭了。 根据上文，在比赛前，Leo的自行车框架坏了，他觉得自己的梦想破灭了，因此心情是难过的。应用sad表示“难过的”。 7．句意：但第二天早上，他在门口发现了一辆漂亮的赛车！ 根据上下文，Leo的自行车坏了，但是他的教练和队员修好了，所以第二天早上，Leo在门口发现了一辆漂亮的赛车。应用found表示“发现”。 8．句意：Hale先生的纸条上写着：“你的努力比任何昂贵的自行车都更有价值” 。 根据上文，教练被Leo的努力打动，因此纸条上写的是“你的努力比任何昂贵的自行车都更有价值”。应用effort表示“努力”。 9．句意：Leo后来说：“旧自行车教会我永不放弃——新自行车教会我善意是最好的奖励”。 根据上文，旧自行车是教练和队员们修好的，这份善意让Leo明白善意是最好的奖励。应用kindness表示“善意”。 10．句意：Leo把那张纸条放在车包里很多年，每当在骑行生涯中遇到困难，他都会拿出来看。 根据上文，教练在送自行车时留了一张纸条给Leo，多年来Leo一直把这张纸条放在车包里。应用note表示“纸条”。 Passage 11 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·期中）Mr. Allen held out a glass of water with three ice cubes in it. “Why do things float?” he asked the class. No one said a word. The whole class was 1 . “Anyone?” Mr. Allen smiled at his students. “Let’s brainstorm some answers.” He swirled (旋动) the glass gently. The three ice cubes bobbed up and down in the water, then floated back to the 2 . “How about some guesses...” He paused, scanning the students’ faces. “Any guesses?” The students 3 quiet. A few of them looked at each other and shrugged. Others tapped their fingers. “What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Remember, there are 4 right or wrong answers.” Mr. Allen did his best to keep his smile warm and inviting. Still, no one spoke up. The students tried to 5 Mr. Allen’s gaze (注视).

A man’s voice came from the loudspeakers, “Racers in the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race, please gather behind the orange flags. Attention please! All the racers must follow the lead-out during the competition. Orange arrows show you the way.” Hannah was so 1 because the first prize was a modern bike. On a bike like that, she’d fly through the woods. “Good luck,” the loudspeakers said. “Three, two, one and go!” The lead-out, a man in bright orange with the words “Follow Me” printed on his shirt, started 2 down the road. The racers followed close behind. Hannah squeezed her bike between a boy in a black suit and a girl with a silver helmet. She wanted to take off, but she knew she wasn’t 3 to pass the lead-out. Soon, a girl with red hair rolled in behind the lead-out. Hannah followed close behind the girl, but the girl was speeding up. Then they both disappeared behind a thick stand of trees. Hannah 4 for the orange arrows marking the course and biked through the muddy fields. Then she saw the girl putting the chain (链条) on the chain ring, the lead-out next to her. After noticing Hannah, he jumped on his bike. Hannah followed him 5 the girl into the woods quickly. Maybe she could win. She felt herself full of 6 when she got closer；the lead-out pulled away, disappearing around a bend again. Luckily, to her left, was the sign with the orange arrow. When she turned, her foot accidentally kicked the sign over. “I need to 7 and fix the sign,” she thought. But even as she was thinking this, her feet kept moving faster. “Hannah Anderson, winner of the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race!” the man on the loudspeakers announced as she passed the finish line. “Hey!” Hannah turned and saw the girl with red hair jump off her bike. “Good job! I thought I almost had you, but I must have 8 a trail sign.” Hannah’s face turned red at once. Looking at the girl’s old rusty bike, she said nothing. After the presentation, Hannah looked around and finally found the girl. “I accidentally kicked the sign over,” Hannah said 9 . “I want you to have the bike.” “Are you sure?” the shocked girl asked, couldn’t believe her 10 . “I’m sure.” Hannah said, a little louder. The girl was beaming now, her finger moving along the shiny blue bike. “Are you racing in the Copper Harbor next weekend?” she asked. “I am.” Hannah smiled. “Yes. Let’s see who wins then.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of its birth, the United Nations named 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Quantum mechanics studies very 2 things, like atoms and even smaller particles (粒子). Around 1900 scientists such as Max Planck and Albert Einstein started to describe why the atomic (原子的) world could not be explained by the classical theories developed by Isaac Newton and others two centuries earlier. In the 1920s, more scientists including Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger bravely 3 from classical physics and developed quantum mechanics further, opening the door to future progress and useful inventions that continue to 4 our modern life. As Nature noted: “Modern physics is quantum physics.” In quantum mechanics, many counter-intuitive phenomena happen. For example, an atom can be in two places at the same time, and a cat in a box can be both alive and dead. In another 5 called “spooky action at a distance”, when two particles become entangled (纠缠的), the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, 6 far apart they are. It’s like having a pair of magical dice (骰子) that always show the same numbers, even from opposite sides of the galaxy (星系). These 7 may sound hard to imagine or even strange, but they are the reason we have modern technology today. The GPS that finds your location, the bright LEDs in your phone screen and MRI machines that make medical images all come from quantum principles. Most importantly, the design of the silicon chip (硅芯片) 8 every computer and smartphone depends on our understanding of how electrons behave in semiconductors (半导体) a quantum effect. As we celebrate its 100th birthday, quantum science is advancing faster than ever. Scientists are building quantum computers that could solve problems too hard for today’s supercomputers and 9 quantum encryption (加密技术) to make unbreakable communication networks. Quantum physics has taught us that the universe is full of surprises and that its 10 are as great as our imagination. 1．A．completely B．exactly C．clearly D．actually 2．A．true B．false C．small D．big 3．A．broke up B．broke away C．broke down D．broke into 4．A．finish B．start C．influence D．shape 5．A．saying B．rule C．law D．order 6．A．whenever B．wherever C．however D．whatever 7．A．ideas B．facts C．examples D．news 8．A．inside B．outside C．above D．beside 9．A．using B．discovering C．improving D．creating 10．A．risks B．possibilities C．hopes D．challenges 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．B 6．C 7．A 8．A 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文介绍了量子力学的诞生、发展及其对现代科技的深远影响，讲述了它如何彻底改变人类对现实的理解。 1．句意：一百年前，一群科学家建立了一个彻底改变了人们理解现实旧方式的模型：量子力学。completely 意为“彻底地、完全地”，强调量子力学对传统认知的颠覆性改变；其余选项无法体现“颠覆旧有认知”的程度。 2．句意：量子力学研究非常微小的事物，比如原子甚至更小的粒子。like“比如”，结合后面的“smaller”，举例说明被研究的对象应该是极小的微观物质。 3．句意：20 世纪 20 年代，包括尼尔斯・玻尔、维尔纳・海森堡和埃尔温・薛定谔在内的更多科学家勇敢地脱离经典物理学，进一步发展了量子力学。根据“from...developed...further”，科学家们跳出经典物理框架，创新发展新理论。broke away from 意为“从……脱离、摆脱”。 4．句意：为未来的进步和持续塑造我们现代生活的实用发明打开了大门。shape 意为“塑造、影响……的发展”，比 influence 更强调“深度构建、形成”的含义，体现量子力学对现代生活的根本性塑造。 5．句意：在另一个被称为“鬼魅般的超距作用”的定律中……。rule意为“定律”（单数）。此处指代前文提到的“鬼魅般的超距作用”这一个定律，故用单数。 6．句意：当两个粒子纠缠时，一个的状态会立即影响另一个，无论它们相距多么遥远。far形容词， however 后接形容词或副词，however far apart 意为“无论距离多远”。 7．句意：这些观点可能听起来难以想象甚至奇怪，但它们是我们拥有现代科技的原因。上文讲的都是观点，并非事实，facts 强调其客观真实性；examples（例子）无法表示“我们拥有现代科技的原因”。 8．句意：最重要的是，每台电脑和智能手机内部的硅芯片设计，都依赖于我们对电子在半导体中行为的理解——这是一种量子效应。inside “在……内部”，硅芯片是电子设备的内部核心部件，符合语境。 9．句意：科学家们正在制造量子计算机，同时创造量子加密技术以构建无法破解的通信网络。creating“创造、创建”，呼应前面的building，体现从无到有地研发新技术。 10．句意：量子物理学告诉我们，宇宙充满惊喜，它的可能性和我们的想象力一样广阔。possibilities“可能性、潜力”，呼应前文“surprises”，强调宇宙的未知潜力。 Passage 14 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期末）Lisa worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day to make a living.

He is a Belgian detective with a neat appearance—always wearing a well-tailored suit and a small hat, and his shoes are 1 clean that they look new. Poirot is not just about looks, his success in solving cases is amazing. 2 other detectives who rush to search for clues, he often sits quietly, thinking carefully. He believes that “the little grey cells (脑细胞)” are the key 3 truth. His way of speaking is also special. He speaks English with a slight Belgian accent (口音), and he always uses polite words like “madam” and “sir”. Even when he is angry, he remains 4 . This makes people feel comfortable and willing to share information with him. Last term, our class read Murder on the Orient Express, one of Poirot’s most important cases. We were all impressed by his cleverness. When the police failed to find the 5 , Poirot found out the truth step by step. He didn’t run here and there. Instead, he talked to every passenger, listened to their stories, and found the lies 6 in their words. He noticed small details—like a burnt note, a missing button—that others ignored (忽略). “Details are 7 ,” he often says. This sentence has become my favorite saying from the book. Our teacher told us that Agatha 8 a lot of time developing Poirot’s character. She wanted him to be different from other detectives. Poirot’s kindness and wisdom make him stand out (出众). Now, 9 I read a detective story, I always compare the main character with Poirot. He teaches us that solving problems doesn’t need strength, but 10 .

During a trip, plans may 1 and small problems can happen at any time. In moments like these, the person you travel with can make the 2 much better—or much worse. To find out what made the travel experience smooth, a study was carried out. It focused on travelling with people they didn’t know well and paid special attention to 3 they met online. They chose a destination together, and then traveled as a group. The study shows that choosing the 4 travel partner is very important and a good travel partner has four key qualities. The first one is whether they can control their 5 when something unexpected happens. Good partners stay calm when problems happen, such as when a flight is delayed or plans change. Instead of getting angry, they focus on what to do next, which helps the other person feel 6 too. Another is experience. Partners with travel experience may know the destination well or have useful 7 for the trip. Some people look for partners who can plan routes, drive, or take photos and videos. It really matters to have a 8 travel style. Partners need to match in the same travel likes, which includes how much money they want to spend, when they want to eat or sleep, and so on. The last one is responsibility. Responsible partners do their share during the trip. They help with 9 , follow the agreed plans, and offer useful ideas.

She 1 making small environmental tools in her free time. Li Jia’s idea came from her grandma’s garden. She noticed that grandma often forgot to water the plants, and some young flowers 2 because of dry soil. “I need to make an instrument that can remind people to water plants,” Li Jia thought. She first 3 some information online about plant care and simple machines. After two days of research, she had a plan for a “smart plant pot”. To make the pot, Li Jia used an old plastic pot from home, a small water sensor (传感器) , and a battery (电池) . The sensor could check the soil’s wetness. When the soil was too dry, the pot would make a soft beep (提示音) to 4 grandma. At first, the sensor didn’t work well. Li Jia tried adjusting the sensor’s angle and changing the battery, but nothing 5 —the beep still didn’t sound when the soil was dry. She felt a little sad, but her science teacher told her, “Keep trying, and you’ll find a way.” Thanks to the teacher’s help, Li Jia changed the sensor’s position in the pot. This time, it was successful! After a week of testing, her “smart plant pot” was 6 . When she showed it at the fair, many students and teachers stopped to look. A judge said, “This work is 7 —it solves a real problem in daily life.” Li Jia won third prize, and she was very happy. Now, Li Jia’s grandma uses the pot every day. “It’s helpful and easy to use,” grandma said. Li Jia plans to make more tools. She believes that 8 small environmental inventions like her smart pot can make our planet greener if people use them correctly. “Learning science isn’t just about books,” Li Jia said. “It’s about 9 ideas into reality and helping others.” Her story tells us that 10 we face difficulties like sensor problems or lack of materials, we should never give up on our good ideas if they can help others. 1．A．enjoyed B．practiced C．considered D．suggested 2．A．grew B．died C．changed D．moved 3．A．forgot B．missed C．collected D．refused 4．A．remind B．inform C．notice D．prepare 5．A．worked B．required C．influenced D．produced 6．A．found B．started C．discovered D．ready 7．A．useful B．lively C．popular D．fascinating 8．A．so B．such C．either D．neither 9．A．turning B．taking C．giving D．keeping 10．A．as soon as B．even if C．as long as D．unless 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．A 6．D 7．A 8．B 9．A 10．B 【导语】本文讲述了15岁的李佳在“绿色科技展”中发明智能花盆的故事，她通过不断尝试解决了传感器问题，最终获奖并帮助了奶奶。 1．句意：她喜欢在空闲时间制作小型环保工具。 根据下文她主动参与活动并发明工具，可知她“喜欢”制作，enjoyed“喜欢”符合。practiced“练习”、considered“考虑”、suggested“建议”与主动行为不符。 2．句意：她注意到奶奶经常忘记给植物浇水，一些小花因为土壤干燥而枯死。 根据下文她发明提醒装置，可知花因缺水而“枯死”，died“死亡”符合。grew“生长”、changed“改变”、moved“移动”与缺水结果不符。 3．句意：她首先在网上收集了一些关于植物护理和简单机器的信息。 根据下文她进行研究，可知“收集”信息，collected“收集”符合。forgot“忘记”、missed“错过”、refused“拒绝”与信息查找不符。 4．句意：当土壤太干时，花盆会发出轻柔的提示音来提醒奶奶。 根据上文发明提醒工具，可知目的是“提醒”奶奶，remind“提醒”符合。inform“通知”、notice“注意”、prepare“准备”与提醒功能不符。 5．句意：李佳尝试调整传感器的角度并更换电池，但什么都不起作用——土壤干时提示音还是不响。 根据上文她尝试调整传感器和更换电池，可知这些方法“不起作用”，worked“起作用”符合。required“要求”、influenced“影响”、produced“生产”与效果不符。 6．句意：经过一周的测试，她的“智能花盆”准备好了。 根据上文她成功解决了问题，可知花盆“准备就绪”，ready“准备好”符合。found“发现”、started“开始”、discovered“发现”与成功解决问题不符。 7．句意：这件作品很有用——它解决了日常生活中的实际问题。 根据上文花盆能提醒浇水，解决实际问题，可知是“有用的”，useful“有用的”符合。lively“生动的”、popular“受欢迎的”、fascinating“迷人的”与解决实际问题相比，useful更贴切。 8．句意：她相信，如果人们正确使用，像她的智能花盆这样的小环保发明可以让我们的地球更环保。 such修饰名词，表示“这样的”，such small environmental inventions“这样的小环保发明”符合。so修饰形容词或副词，either“也”用于否定句，neither“两者都不”与肯定陈述不符。 9．句意：这是把想法变成现实，并帮助他人。 turn ideas into reality“把想法变成现实”为动词短语，turning“转变”符合。taking“拿”、giving“给”、keeping“保持”与转化想法不符。 10．句意：她的故事告诉我们，即使我们面临传感器问题或材料短缺等困难，只要我们的好想法能帮助别人，就永远不要放弃。 根据上下文，表示“即使”面对困难也不放弃，even if“即使”符合。as soon as“一……就”、as long as“只要”、unless“除非”与让步条件不符。 Passage 19 （25-26九年级下·江苏苏州·月考）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 William grew up in a poor family in Africa. His family lived in a village with no 1 . At night, they used oil lamps for light. However, oil was too expensive for his parents to afford. William wanted to 2 life there but he had no idea how to realize it. One day, he read a book on how to turn wind into electricity with a windmill. “That is 3 !” Though he didn’t know what a windmill was, he decided to give it a try. First he had to 4 all the materials. He dug through the rubbish with his cousin in the villages nearby and 5 his goal until he got what he wanted. Then he started to make the windmill. The moment he finished his farm work in the fields, he threw himself into studying the materials, staying 6 till midnight. Finally, he made it after many 7 . He fixed the windmill on the top of a wooden tower to catch the wind. The villagers came to look. A long wire was used to connect a bulb to the windmill. The wind blew and the windmill 8 . To their amazement, the bulb was on. The villagers cheered. William threw his hands in the air and jumped 9 . To produce more energy, he built another windmill for his village. Born into poverty, William didn’t give up in the face of difficulties.

However, oil was too expensive...”可知，他们晚上用油灯照明，因为油太贵。这反衬出村庄缺乏的是“电”，如果有电就不需要用昂贵的油灯。故此处应选用electricity。gas“煤气”、water“水”、Internet“网络”均与后文油灯照明的语境无关。 2．句意：William想改善那里的生活，但他不知道如何实现。 根据下文William制造风车发电为村庄带来光明的具体行动可知，他的目的是让生活变得更好。故此处应选用improve“改善”。protect“保护”、create“创造”、understand“理解”均不符合他后续行动带来的积极改变。 3．句意：这太令人惊叹了！ 根据后文“Though he didn’t know what a windmill was, he decided to give it a try”可知，尽管不了解，他仍决定尝试，说明前文他的反应是积极、受到鼓舞的。amazing“令人惊叹的”能表达这种兴奋和赞叹。surprised“感到惊讶的”常以人作主语；worried“担心的”、important“重要的”均无法体现他决定尝试的积极态度。 4．句意：首先他必须收集所有材料。 根据后文“He dug through the rubbish with his cousin in the villages nearby...”可知，他和表亲在附近村庄的垃圾堆里翻找，这是在“收集”材料，而非购买、发明或借用。故此处应选用collect。 5．句意：他和他的表弟在附近的村庄里挖掘垃圾并坚持他的目标，直到他得到他想要的。 “until he got what he wanted”表明了一个持续到达成目标的过程，需要表达“坚持”的含义。stuck to“坚持”符合此语境。went over“复习”、looked into“调查”、learned about“了解”均不能体现为实现目标而持续努力的过程。 6．句意：他一干完田里的农活，就立刻投入到学习资料中，一直熬夜到午夜。 研究材料到深夜，需要保持“清醒”状态。awake“醒着的”符合语境。calm“平静的”、relaxed“放松的”、free“空闲的”均不能准确描述熬夜学习时的状态。 7．句意：最终，在多次失败之后，他成功了。 制作复杂风车的过程不可能一帆风顺，“after many...”之后取得成功，最合理的铺垫是“失败”。failures“失败”符合事物发展逻辑。reasons“理由”、excuses“借口”、poems“诗歌”均与尝试制作科技产品的过程无关。 8．句意：风吹动着，风车转动起来。 风车的工作原理是风推动叶片旋转从而发电。turned“转动”准确描述了风车的工作状态。fell“掉落”、flew“飞行”、opened“打开”均不是风车受风后的正确动作。 9．句意：William双手举向空中，兴奋地跳起来。 根据前文“The villagers cheered”和灯泡亮起成功的场景，他的情绪应该是激动和高兴的。excitedly“兴奋地”最能体现这种成功的喜悦。hurriedly“匆忙地”、carefully“小心地”、worriedly“担忧地”均不符合成功时刻的心情。 10．句意：他坚持阅读、自学，并点亮了整个村庄。 全文围绕William为自己所在的村庄发电展开，最后“lit up the whole...”应指他带来的光明惠及了整个村庄。village“村庄”是贯穿全文的核心地点，也是他努力的最终受益对象。team“团队”、club“俱乐部”、school“学校”在文中均未提及。 Passage 20 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·月考）Listening to music, watching movies, reading novels. Which kind of art is your go-to choice for fun? According to a new study, art not only calms your mind but also improves your 191 health. For the first time, scientists in the UK found that art helps the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, said The Guardian. The study included 50 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40. Half of them went to see real artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, 2 the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. All of them wore health sensors throughout the experiment. The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones (激素)for the gallery-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group, according to Art Fund. Signs of inflammation (炎症) also 3 by about 30 percent for the gallery group. It’s not just visual arts that have such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance reduces stress by improving movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different ideas. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the College of New York, looks to our brain’s default mode network. This network is 4 believed to play a key role in creativity, and it is usually quiet when we focus on things in the outside world. 5 , when we enjoy art the network becomes active along with other focus-related brain regions. Although we are still learning 6 this works, art’s power has long been used in treatment. According to American Scientist art therapy was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War Ⅱ soldiers express 7 . The traumas often affected their brain’s speech centers, making traditional talk therapy less effective. Since then, art therapy has benefited over 650 million worldwide. Quantitative (定量的) studies like the recent the UK can help make art easy more art therapy more 8 , said Marygrace Berberian, a professor at New York University, in the university’s press 9 in September.

Mr. Wilde’s English 1 had disappeared from his desk over the weekend. The strange thing was that nothing else was taken—not the computer, not the money in the drawer, only the thirty-five homework papers. Lily, a quiet but observant girl who loved detective novels, decided to investigate. She noticed three important clues that others had missed. First, there were faint 2 footprints near the teacher’s desk, though it hadn’t rained for days. Second, the window lock was broken from the 3 , not the outside. Third, she found a tiny 4 thread caught on the edge of the desk drawer. Lily thought about who had been in the classroom last Friday. There was Zhang Wei, who had stayed after class to ask questions. There was also the cleaning lady, Mrs. Chen, who came every evening. And there was the 5 , Tom, who had borrowed the key to get a book he forgot. Lily examined everyone’s shoes after the morning exercises. Zhang Wei wore black sneakers, clean and dry. Mrs. Chen wore comfortable brown shoes with a special pattern. Tom wore 6 with a little mud on the edges. Looking closer, Lily noticed Tom’s jacket had a small tear near the 7 , and the thread matched the blue thread she found! When Lily quietly asked Tom about Friday evening, he looked 8 . “I just came to get my book,” he said quickly. But Lily remembered something: Tom had already submitted his homework 9 last week. Why would he need to take all the papers? The real answer came when Lily checked the homework records. Tom hadn’t actually submitted his work. He had been absent on Friday when others submitted theirs. He must have taken all the papers so his missing homework wouldn’t be noticed! Lily didn’t embarrass Tom publicly. Instead, she told Mr. Wilde what she found, and the teacher handled the situation privately. The mystery was solved not by magic, but by careful 10 and logical thinking—the true tools of any detective. 1．A．assignments B．books C．notes D．exams 2．A．clean B．dry C．muddy D．wet 3．A．inside B．outside C．above D．below 4．A．black B．brown C．blue D．white 5．A．cleaning lady B．math teacher C．class monitor D．security guard 6．A．sports shoes B．glasses C．gloves D．jeans 7．A．pocket B．button C．logo D．zipper 8．A．calm B．nervous C．happy D．proud 9．A．electronically B．carefully C．late D．early 10．A．observation B．luck C．technology D．friendship 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．A 8．B 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文讲述周一教室英语作业失踪，喜爱侦探小说的莉莉凭借观察与推理找到真相，体现细心观察的重要性。 1．句意：王尔德先生的英语作业周末从桌子上不见了。 下文提到“only the thirty-five homework papers”，assignments“作业”与“homework papers”含义一致。books“书籍”，notes“笔记”，exams“考试”，均不符合语境。 2．句意：首先，讲台附近有淡淡的泥泞脚印，尽管已经好几天没下雨了。 第四段提到“Tom wore...with a little mud on the edges”，muddy“泥泞的”与后文线索相呼应。clean“干净的”，dry“干燥的”，wet“湿的”，均无法对应后文线索。 3．句意：窗户锁是从里面被破坏的，而不是外面。 空后为“not the outside”，inside“里面”与outside构成反义对应。above“在上面”，below“在下面”，均不与outside形成对比。 4．句意：她在抽屉边缘发现一根细小的蓝色线。 第四段提到“the thread matched the blue thread she found”，blue“蓝色”与后文线索完全一致。black“黑色”，brown“棕色”，white“白色”，均不符合后文描述。 5．句意：还有班长汤姆，他借过钥匙去拿忘带的书。 空后提到“who had borrowed the key to get a book he forgot”，class monitor“班长”符合可以借用钥匙的身份。cleaning lady“清洁员”，math teacher“数学老师”，security guard“保安”，均不符合语境。 6．句意：汤姆穿着边缘沾了一点泥的运动鞋。 上文提到脚印，需要填写鞋类，sports shoes“运动鞋”符合语境。glasses“眼镜”，gloves“手套”，jeans“牛仔裤”，均不是鞋子，与脚印无关。 7．句意：莉莉注意到汤姆的夹克口袋附近有个小破口。 上文提到“a tiny blue thread caught on the edge of the desk drawer”，抽屉边缘最容易勾到衣服口袋，pocket“口袋”符合语境。button“纽扣”，logo“标志”，zipper“拉链”，均不符合线索位置。 8．句意：当莉莉悄悄问起周五晚上的事时，汤姆看起来很紧张。 下文提到“he said quickly”，体现出心虚的状态，nervous“紧张的”符合语境。calm“冷静的”，happy“开心的”，proud“骄傲的”，均与下文表现不符。 9．句意：但莉莉想起一件事：汤姆上周早就已经交作业了。 倒数第二段提到“Tom hadn’t actually submitted his work”，early“提早地”与后文真相形成反差。electronically“电子地”，carefully“仔细地”，late“迟地”，均无法构成反差。 10．句意：谜团不是靠魔法解开的，而是靠仔细的观察和逻辑思考。 上文多次提到“Lily noticed clues”，observation“观察”符合全文主线。luck“运气”，technology“技术”，friendship“友谊”，均不符合文章主旨。 Passage 24 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·月考）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Peter kept his eyes on the ground.

We visited a museum that showed us how porcelain is made. On our way there, we 1 something special: Instead of using 2 materials, all the streetlights were covered in porcelain. Even the rubbish bins were made of porcelain. We were amazed by their creativity. At the museum, we learned about how to make porcelain. First, the porcelain clay needs to be shaped into something, like pots. Then, the craftsmen use a special paint called ceramic glaze (釉) to draw patterns on its surface. It takes them many hours to finish because they work 3 on the fine patterns. After that, the craftsmen put the pieces into a kiln (窑) and burn them at a very high 4 for 12 to hours. Finally, the porcelain can be taken out after it 5 down. As the saying goes, “ 6 only comes through hard work.” It’s easy to see that making porcelain is very time-consuming (耗时的). But the craftsmen’s hard work has resulted in beautiful works. On the last day of our trip, we went to Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. 7 you are porcelain lovers, you can go there to make your own porcelain works. Tourists walk through the market and 8 pieces they like. As we walked through the area, we chose souvenirs (纪念品) and enjoyed this historic 9 .

Just a few years ago, human drivers often needed to take over to keep the 2 safe. Baidu’s journey into the self-driving industry began in 2013 when it 3 up the Institute of Deep Learning (IDL). Baidu’s founder (创始人), Li Yanhong, never expected the company to be so 4 to the car industry. But as AI technology developed, he saw that AI could greatly change the car industry. In 2015, the company started its self-driving department. In 2017, Baidu started the Apollo Project, 5 after the famous moon landing mission. In 2019, it got 40 6 to test self-driving cars that could carry passengers on certain roads in Beijing. In 2022, the company got the permits (许可) to run fully driverless robotaxi services and brought out its sixth-generation self-driving cars in 2024. Since 2015, Baidu has spent over 150 billion yuan on research and development for self-driving cars, with more than 20 billion yuan spent every year since 2021. “Baidu’s strength in self-driving cars is in its mapping technology, 7 its high-definition (高清晰度) maps.” said Liu Xu, director of Baidu Intelligent Cloud. These maps help cars understand road situations. They also allow features like self-parking, which are important for these cars to work. Looking to the future, Baidu sees 8 opportunities (机会) in China, where the government supports the 9 and infrastructure (基础设施) is developing quickly. 10 the past 10 years have been full of challenges, Baidu is now close to making its self-driving cars a big business, according to Liu. 1．A．in B．at C．behind D．beside 2．A．seat B．passenger C．ride D．car 3．A．gave B．made C．put D．set 4．A．connected B．compared C．contacted D．communicated 5．A．naming B．named C．was named D．name 6．A．students B．drivers C．licenses D．workers 7．A．specially B．especially C．simply D．exactly 8．A．bad B．poor C．large D．great 9．A．technology B．industry C．agriculture D．science 10．A．Although B．But C．Since D．Because 【答案】 1．A 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．B 8．D 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了百度在自动驾驶领域的快速发展历程。 1．句意：尽管我坐在驾驶座上，但我的手并没有放在方向盘上。 in the driver’s seat表示“在驾驶座上”，符合安全员坐在驾驶位的语境，应用in。at“在”，behind“在……后面”和beside“在……旁边”不符合逻辑。 2．句意：就在几年前，人类司机常常需要接管车辆以保证行车安全。 ride作名词，指“乘车行程”，keep the ride safe指“保证行车安全”，更贴切语境，应用ride。seat“座位”，passenger“乘客”和car“车”不符合逻辑。 3．句意：百度进入自动驾驶行业的历程始于 2013 年，当时它成立了深度学习研究所。 set up意为“成立（机构/组织）”，此处指成立深度学习研究院，应用set；gave up“放弃”，made up“编造”和put up“张贴/搭建”均不符合。 4．句意：百度的创始人李彦宏从未料到公司会与汽车行业有如此深的关联。 be connected to是固定搭配，意为“和……相关联”，此处指李彦宏没料到百度会和汽车行业关联这么深，应用connected。 5．句意：2017年，百度启动了阿波罗项目，该项目以著名的登月任务命名。 句子已有谓语动词，此处用过去分词named作后置定语（阿波罗项目和命名是被动关系），表示“以登月任务命名的阿波罗计划”，应用named。 6．句意：2019 年，它获得了40张在北京特定道路测试载人自动驾驶车辆的许可证。 licenses意为“许可证”，对应后文的permits（许可），指获得40张载人测试许可，应用licenses。students“学生”，drivers“司机”和workers“工人”不符合逻辑。 7．句意：百度在自动驾驶汽车领域的优势在于其地图技术，尤其是高清地图。 especially意为“尤其”，用于进一步强调，此处指“尤其是”高清地图，应用especially。specially“专门地”，simply“简单地”和exactly“确切地”不符合逻辑。 8．句意：展望未来，百度看到中国存在大量的机遇，中国政府支持这个行业，且基础设施发展迅速。 great修饰抽象名词opportunities，表示“大量的机会”，符合语境，应用great。large“大的”，一般修饰具体事物的大小；bad“坏的”和poor“穷的”不符合逻辑。 9．句意：展望未来，百度看到中国存在大量的机遇，中国政府支持这个行业，且基础设施发展迅速。 本文核心讲百度的自动驾驶行业，此处指政府支持这个“行业”，应用industry。technology“技术”，agriculture“农业”和science“科学”不符合逻辑。 10．句意：刘表示，尽管过去十年充满挑战，百度现在即将把自动驾驶做成大规模产业。 前后是让步关系，应用although引导让步状语从句。 Passage 27 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·期末） Hi, I’ve been looking for a place to share this story which makes me happy whenever I think of it.

Alijah was playing something on a simple plastic bucket, which made Caldwell surprised. She asked Alijah 2 he had ever taken music lessons. Alijah shook his head. In fact, he was self-taught.

The only thing clear was that Mama was 1 with my hair. She tried to brush gently, but the brush got stuck again. However, my grandfather, Papou, always said, “You are a one-of-a-kind girl with wonderfully 2 hair.” Mama asked her friend Kiki, who was in a beauty school, to give me a haircut. “Costadena.” Kiki finally arrived. “Time to say bye to your wild hair.” I lifted up my 3 to fan my neck covered in sweat (汗水). “Is there something easy? Not tangled (缠绕在一起的)?” Kiki considered for a moment, then gathered her own hair into a knot. “Look. You could cut it like this. It would feel much cooler. What do you think?” She looked neat and pretty. Looking at my own messy hair, I 4 her style. “Cut it,” I said. Snip. Snip. Hair rained onto the floor. I looked at it and bit my lip. What had I just agreed to? “It’s — it’s too 5 !” “It’ll be easy,” Kiki said. “And now we can see more of your beautiful face.” But her words couldn’t make me feel any better. When Mama came home, she was all 6 . “This cut is so stylish, Costadena. So pretty!” We heard a voice from outside. Papou! “Let’s go and 7 him.” Mama said and we walked outside. “Is that Costadena?” He stopped for a second with eyes widening. I didn’t think he liked it. My tears started rolling down. “Do I still remind you of that one-of-a-kind girl?” I asked quietly. I noticed my mother narrow her eyes before Papou 8 . “Of course, sweetheart.” By the weekend, the weather was even hotter, and we went to Lake Michigan. I felt a gust of wind by the beach. “Wild child!” Papou called. “Let’s go 9 .” Jumping into the water, I found my head sprang up fast and free. No hair covered my eyes. Again and again I jumped into the water and flew out toward the sky. After a bath, I brushed my hair 10 , with no more tangles. Kiki was right. Looking at myself in the mirror, I saw just me. I wore a butterfly hair clip and smiled. 1．A．careful B．careless C．patient D．impatient 2．A．soft B．long C．thick D．wild 3．A．ears B．eyes C．hair D．nose 4．A．refused B．disliked C．noticed D．preferred 5．A．short B．long C．dry D．wet 6．A．energy B．praise C．heart D．pride 7．A．surprise B．guide C．treat D．invite 8．A．insisted B．explained C．asked D．replied 9．A．fishing B．boating C．sailing D．swimming 10．A．easily B．slowly C．gently D．carefully Passage 2 （2026·江苏南京·模拟预测）Reading about weather in books is one thing. Living through a natural disaster was another thing though the flood was not too bad. It all started two days ago. It was a rainy day, like every other rainy day. The only unusual thing was how 1 the adults seemed to be getting. It didn’t look like the rain was going to stop anytime soon. I didn’t really know what that meant for us, 2 Mom was always saying that rain was good for all the plants. The next morning I went down for breakfast. Neither Mom nor Dad was at the kitchen table. The lights all over the house were 3 . I went to get out the milk, but a note on the refrigerator told me not to open the door. As I was 4 what to eat for breakfast, I noticed that the rain was still going. I could hear 5 coming from the basement (地下室). Looking through the basement door, I saw there was water down there! It didn’t look like a lot, but there were toys and things floating (漂浮) by! I could hear Mom and Dad’s voices. “Hello? What’s going on down here?” I called down the stairs. “Good morning, Vicky. Our basement is 6 . The power all over town is out. We are pumping the water out by hand.” Dad called back. Not too long after, they came back upstairs. “Once the power comes back, we’re going to find some fans to try to 7 the basement. It’s quite a 8 . There are things that got all wet.” Mom said. We decided to drive around. A lot of roads were 9 because water was covering the road. The houses by the river were in the river. We stopped to help people who were filling bags with sand. The bags helped to keep away the water. I couldn’t believe how much the flood was affecting (影响) us! When we finished filling up sandbags, we drove back home. We didn’t have power and fixing the basement could get 10 .

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I wanted to do something meaningful. The experience turned out to be more rewarding than I could have imagined. When I arrived, I saw children of different ages playing in the yard. They came from poor families and didn’t have many toys or books. A little boy named Sam caught my attention. He was sitting alone in the corner, looking at a picture book with great 1 . I walked over and asked if he wanted me to read to him. His eyes 2 up immediately. As I read, more children gathered around. They laughed at the funny parts and asked questions about the story. 3 , I noticed that reading aloud was not just entertaining them—it was helping them learn new words and express their thoughts. After finishing the book, Sam 4 me, “Can you come again tomorrow?” I promised him I would. Day after day, I returned to read with the children. They began to 5 their own stories and draw pictures about what they heard. Sam, who used to be quiet, became one of the most active 6 . One afternoon, Sam handed me a piece of paper. It was a drawing of me reading to the children, with the words “Thank you for making us 7 ” written at the bottom. My heart melted. I realized that the small act of reading could bring so much 8 to others. Through this experience, I learned that you don’t need to do something 9 to make a difference. Sometimes the simplest actions, like sharing a story, can 10 someone’s world. I continue to volunteer there, and every time I see the children’s smiling faces, I know I’ve made the right choice. 1．A．interest B．difficulty C．fear D．doubt 2．A．lit B．gave C．woke D．stood 3．A．Suddenly B．Luckily C．Gradually D．Strangely 4．A．warned B．asked C．told D．showed 5．A．create B．borrow C．buy D．hide 6．A．readers B．listeners C．speakers D．writers 7．A．happy B．nervous C．tired D．bored 8．A．trouble B．money C．joy D．stress 9．A．ordinary B．great C．dangerous D．easy 10．A．break B．enter C．brighten D．forget Passage 4 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）The first week of middle school felt like walking onto a giant stage (舞台) where everyone except me seemed to know their roles. I felt even 1 as others’ confident conversation made them seem bigger. During the English class, my worst fear came true. The teacher gave us a task. “Let me 2 it,” she added, “you should find a partner to talk about our school life.” Soon, my heart began to race. “Hey, want to be partners?” A girl asked. “I’m Sarah.” I whispered, “O … Okay.” “Don’t worry,” she said, “I get 3 when I give a speech, too. We can help each other.” Her words lit a spark (火花) of 4 inside me. Maybe it was a chance to prove myself. We first listed our 5 : my fear of speaking in public and her trouble in preparing ideas. Sarah shared her past experiences to calm me down, and I helped 6 points. At first, the words often got stuck in our mouths, and the speech was all broken up. To speak 7 , we kept repeating the words after class. 8 on the morning of our speech, Sarah looked sad. “I worked hard at home, yet I forgot everything just now,” she said. For a moment, my old fear came back. However, then I remembered how much we had 9 together. “I’ll help you.” When the teacher called our names, we began. Halfway through, Sarah stopped. I saw her hands shake a little. It was time for me to be her 10 . I added the next point. Sarah continued. When we finished, the class cheered. “You saved me,” Sarah said. “We saved each other,” I smiled. “We are far more than partners.” Walking out, I realized that with a friend and practice, even the scariest stage is a place to shine—together. 1．A．worse B．smaller C．weaker D．shyer 2．A．expect B．express C．explain D．explore 3．A．cool B．relaxed C．crazy D．nervous 4．A．love B．pride C．hope D．interest 5．A．worries B．mistakes C．reasons D．secrets 6．A．share B．check C．organize D．understand 7．A．carefully B．smoothly C．quickly D．loudly 8．A．But B．And C．So D．Or 9．A．worried B．practiced C．promised D．complained 10．A．helper B．teacher C．listener D．leader Passage 5 （2026·江苏南京·模拟预测）When I was in Grade 7, I was a very shy boy. I was afraid to speak in front of others. Every time the teacher asked a question, I would 1 my head down and hope not to be called on. One day, our English teacher, Mrs. Li, announced that each student would have to give a short speech in class. My heart sank. I thought, “I can’t do this. Everyone will 2 at me.” I tried to find an excuse. I told Mrs. Li that I was too nervous. She smiled gently and said, “Mike, the only way to grow is to face your 3 . Why not start by writing down what you want to say?” So I went home and wrote a short speech about my favorite hobby—reading. I practiced 4 the mirror every night. At first, my voice was so 5 that I could hardly hear myself. But day by day, I got a little better. The big day arrived. My heart was beating fast when my name was called. I stood up and walked to the front. For a moment, my mind went 6 . I forgot everything. I looked at my classmates. Some were smiling, some were waiting. Then I saw Mrs. Li nod at me 7 . I took a deep breath and began. The first few sentences came out shaky, but I kept going. To my surprise, the words started to 8 naturally. When I finished, the whole class clapped. That day, I learned an important lesson: the biggest enemy is not others, but our own fear. I realized that I was stronger than I thought. Since then, I have never 9 a chance to speak in public. Every time I feel afraid, I tell myself, “Just take that first 10 .” That small step changed me forever. 1．A．put B．keep C．get D．make 2．A．laugh B．shout C．point D．look 3．A．problems B．fears C．mistakes D．failures 4．A．behind B．beside C．in front of D．in the front of 5．A．low B．loud C．clear D．sweet 6．A．empty B．dark C．wild D．blank 7．A．bravely B．angrily C．kindly D．quickly 8．A．come out B．run out C．break out D．turn out 9．A．avoided B．missed C．refused D．accepted 10．A．step B．word C．look D．chance Passage 6 （2026·江苏无锡·一模） For years, I fought against self-doubt. Middle school was especially difficult. I had back pain and kept 1 the American College Test, or ACT. It felt like suffering after suffering. I kept thinking, “What’s the 2 ?” But something deep inside me said “Keep going.” So I did. After three tries, I 3 passed. Still, the self-doubt remained. To manage, I started writing. At first, it was just an expression of the thoughts in my head. I poured everything onto the page: anger, confusion, hope... Every word helped weaken my self-doubt a bit. As I wrote, something changed. I started sharing my story of trying to 4 myself. The more I shared, the more I realized my story could encourage someone else. That was a turning point. I put my stories into a book and had it published. I never expected my words to reach 5 the pages of my notebook, but they did. Since then, I have spoken on stages, and connected with people who once misunderstood themselves, like I did. What 6 is knowing that someone, somewhere, might hear my stories and think, “I’m not 7 . I’m not the only one who has self-doubt.” For those reading this, if you feel 8 about achieving your dreams, please know: Everything will be OK and your future will be bright. Even when it feels like you are not making any 9 , it might just be one small challenge on your way to something greater. Be patient. Success doesn’t happen suddenly. It takes time. Nothing will change 10 you take the first step. Now pick up your pen and pour your thoughts and feelings out onto the page. 1．A．failing B．missing C．refusing D．questioning 2．A．reason B．result C．pleasure D．point 3．A．suddenly B．finally C．quickly D．slowly 4．A．look after B．show off C．push for D．believe in 5．A．through B．beyond C．over D．during 6．A．lasts B．works C．matters D．minds 7．A．alone B．mad C．poor D．terrible 8．A．curious B．nervous C．excited D．crazy 9．A．sense B．effort C．progress D．difference 10．A．after B．when C．if D．unless Passage 7 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）I remember turning on my iPad one day in Grade 5 after a silly conversation with my cousin about scary story ideas.

These horse-related sayings provide fascinating glimpses (一瞥) into Chinese culture and ancient 1 . “A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. It describes someone with amazing talent or potential (潜能). Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “Thousand-mile horses” who 2 great things. The idiom comes from ancient times when people believed certain legendary (传奇的) horses could run 1,000 miles in a single day. “A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another meaning to this idea. 3 talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders who can 4 talented people (“good riders”) are uncommon. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough—you need someone who 5 you and gives you chances. “Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who keeps searching for better chances while 6 their present situation. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical, ambitious (有抱负的) people who never stop improving themselves. “An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with 7 . Just as an old horse remembers the safest paths through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. This idiom shows that Chinese 8 the elders and their plenty of knowledge. “A painted horse won’t run” warns against valuing appearance over substance (实质). No matter how beautifully you paint a horse, it will never run. 9 , beautiful promises without real action are worthless. This idiom teaches Chinese to value practical results over 10 words. These horse idioms show how ancient Chinese people observed (观察) horses’ strength, speed, and intelligence, turning these observations into timeless lessons about human nature and success. 1．A．palace B．wonder C．victory D．wisdom 2．A．achieve B．afford C．avoid D．accept 3．A．Since B．If C．Although D．When 4．A．discover B．train C．understand D．serve 5．A．agrees with B．cares for C．depends on D．believes in 6．A．failing B．dividing C．managing D．refusing 7．A．ability B．memory C．experience D．honor 8．A．record B．respect C．remind D．require 9．A．Simply B．Exactly C．Properly D．Similarly 10．A．empty B．correct C．real D．helpful Passage 10 （2026·江苏无锡·一模）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Former Olympic cyclist Mia Carter shares a story of a 12-year-old boy named Leo who dreamed of joining the town’s cycling club. Leo lived with his grandma, and they could hardly 1 a proper racing bike—they even struggled (奋斗) to buy daily things. He only had an old, rusty (生锈的) bike, and its chain often got stuck. Every afternoon, Leo would watch the club 2 train in the park. He rode his shaky bike after that, practicing until dark. The coach, Mr. Hale, 3 how hard Leo tried, but he knew the old bike would never let him keep up. Still, Leo never 4 a single practice. He fixed his bike by himself whenever it 5 , using parts he collected from junkyards. One week before the town’s youth cycling race, Leo’s bike frame (框架) broke completely. He felt very 6 —he thought his dream was gone. But the next morning, he 7 a beautiful racing bike outside his door! A note from Mr. Hale said: “Your 8 means more than any expensive bike.” It turned out that the coach asked the team to help fix his old frame. On race day, Leo didn’t win the first place, but he finished the race without any problems. Mr. Hale then invited him to join the club. Leo said later, “The old bike taught me not to give up—and the new one taught me 9 is the best prize.” Leo kept that 100 in his bike bag for years, and whenever he met problems in his cycling career, he would take it out and read it.

No one said a word. The whole class was 1 . “Anyone?” Mr. Allen smiled at his students. “Let’s brainstorm some answers.” He swirled (旋动) the glass gently. The three ice cubes bobbed up and down in the water, then floated back to the 2 . “How about some guesses...” He paused, scanning the students’ faces. “Any guesses?” The students 3 quiet. A few of them looked at each other and shrugged. Others tapped their fingers. “What’s the first thing that comes to mind? Remember, there are 4 right or wrong answers.” Mr. Allen did his best to keep his smile warm and inviting. Still, no one spoke up. The students tried to 5 Mr. Allen’s gaze (注视). Mr. Allen scratched his head.“Okay,” he said. “How about this—who can give me the worst answer you can think of?” “The worst one?” asked Miguel from the back of the room. “That’s right.” Mr. Allen nodded. “Oh!” exclaimed Martika. “I’ve got it!

A man’s voice came from the loudspeakers, “Racers in the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race, please gather behind the orange flags. Attention please! All the racers must follow the lead-out during the competition. Orange arrows show you the way.” Hannah was so 1 because the first prize was a modern bike. On a bike like that, she’d fly through the woods. “Good luck,” the loudspeakers said. “Three, two, one and go!” The lead-out, a man in bright orange with the words “Follow Me” printed on his shirt, started 2 down the road. The racers followed close behind. Hannah squeezed her bike between a boy in a black suit and a girl with a silver helmet. She wanted to take off, but she knew she wasn’t 3 to pass the lead-out. Soon, a girl with red hair rolled in behind the lead-out. Hannah followed close behind the girl, but the girl was speeding up. Then they both disappeared behind a thick stand of trees. Hannah 4 for the orange arrows marking the course and biked through the muddy fields. Then she saw the girl putting the chain (链条) on the chain ring, the lead-out next to her. After noticing Hannah, he jumped on his bike. Hannah followed him 5 the girl into the woods quickly. Maybe she could win. She felt herself full of 6 when she got closer；the lead-out pulled away, disappearing around a bend again. Luckily, to her left, was the sign with the orange arrow. When she turned, her foot accidentally kicked the sign over. “I need to 7 and fix the sign,” she thought. But even as she was thinking this, her feet kept moving faster. “Hannah Anderson, winner of the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race!” the man on the loudspeakers announced as she passed the finish line. “Hey!” Hannah turned and saw the girl with red hair jump off her bike. “Good job! I thought I almost had you, but I must have 8 a trail sign.” Hannah’s face turned red at once. Looking at the girl’s old rusty bike, she said nothing. After the presentation, Hannah looked around and finally found the girl. “I accidentally kicked the sign over,” Hannah said 9 . “I want you to have the bike.” “Are you sure?” the shocked girl asked, couldn’t believe her 10 . “I’m sure.” Hannah said, a little louder. The girl was beaming now, her finger moving along the shiny blue bike. “Are you racing in the Copper Harbor next weekend?” she asked. “I am.” Hannah smiled. “Yes. Let’s see who wins then.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of its birth, the United Nations named 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Quantum mechanics studies very 2 things, like atoms and even smaller particles (粒子). Around 1900 scientists such as Max Planck and Albert Einstein started to describe why the atomic (原子的) world could not be explained by the classical theories developed by Isaac Newton and others two centuries earlier. In the 1920s, more scientists including Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger bravely 3 from classical physics and developed quantum mechanics further, opening the door to future progress and useful inventions that continue to 4 our modern life. As Nature noted: “Modern physics is quantum physics.” In quantum mechanics, many counter-intuitive phenomena happen. For example, an atom can be in two places at the same time, and a cat in a box can be both alive and dead. In another 5 called “spooky action at a distance”, when two particles become entangled (纠缠的), the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, 6 far apart they are. It’s like having a pair of magical dice (骰子) that always show the same numbers, even from opposite sides of the galaxy (星系). These 7 may sound hard to imagine or even strange, but they are the reason we have modern technology today. The GPS that finds your location, the bright LEDs in your phone screen and MRI machines that make medical images all come from quantum principles. Most importantly, the design of the silicon chip (硅芯片) 8 every computer and smartphone depends on our understanding of how electrons behave in semiconductors (半导体) a quantum effect. As we celebrate its 100th birthday, quantum science is advancing faster than ever. Scientists are building quantum computers that could solve problems too hard for today’s supercomputers and 9 quantum encryption (加密技术) to make unbreakable communication networks. Quantum physics has taught us that the universe is full of surprises and that its 10 are as great as our imagination. 1．A．completely B．exactly C．clearly D．actually 2．A．true B．false C．small D．big 3．A．broke up B．broke away C．broke down D．broke into 4．A．finish B．start C．influence D．shape 5．A．saying B．rule C．law D．order 6．A．whenever B．wherever C．however D．whatever 7．A．ideas B．facts C．examples D．news 8．A．inside B．outside C．above D．beside 9．A．using B．discovering C．improving D．creating 10．A．risks B．possibilities C．hopes D．challenges Passage 14 （25-26九年级上·江苏苏州·期末）Lisa worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day to make a living.

And it’s not just art—even staying in a pretty room can make us feel happier. When we feel happy, it 1 how we feel about other experiences, too. For example, studies have found that being in a bright, lively room makes food and drinks taste even 2 to us. So it’s not surprising that one of the big home design trends on TikTok right now is “dopamine décor” (多巴胺装饰)—dopamine, one of our brain’s 3 chemicals (化学成分). It uses happy, cheerful colors and textures to make us feel good about 4 we are! As Designer Joyce Huston said, “After going through COVID-19, people have developed a deeper understanding of how their 5 environments influence their moods.” Using dopamine décor to bring fun into your own home is easy, too. There aren’t real rules you need to follow, 6 here are some important things for you to think about and try. First, it’s not necessary to change your 7 home. Start small by adding fun colors with small pieces of furniture, or by painting things like doors and shelves—either using many bright colors, or just the one you really 8 . Try putting different patterns (图案) on your walls with paint or wallpaper, or even just with picture frames. You could also 9 fun patterns into a room by using blankets, cushions and rugs.

He is a Belgian detective with a neat appearance—always wearing a well-tailored suit and a small hat, and his shoes are 1 clean that they look new. Poirot is not just about looks, his success in solving cases is amazing. 2 other detectives who rush to search for clues, he often sits quietly, thinking carefully. He believes that “the little grey cells (脑细胞)” are the key 3 truth. His way of speaking is also special. He speaks English with a slight Belgian accent (口音), and he always uses polite words like “madam” and “sir”. Even when he is angry, he remains 4 . This makes people feel comfortable and willing to share information with him. Last term, our class read Murder on the Orient Express, one of Poirot’s most important cases. We were all impressed by his cleverness. When the police failed to find the 5 , Poirot found out the truth step by step. He didn’t run here and there. Instead, he talked to every passenger, listened to their stories, and found the lies 6 in their words. He noticed small details—like a burnt note, a missing button—that others ignored (忽略). “Details are 7 ,” he often says. This sentence has become my favorite saying from the book. Our teacher told us that Agatha 8 a lot of time developing Poirot’s character. She wanted him to be different from other detectives. Poirot’s kindness and wisdom make him stand out (出众). Now, 9 I read a detective story, I always compare the main character with Poirot. He teaches us that solving problems doesn’t need strength, but 10 .

During a trip, plans may 1 and small problems can happen at any time. In moments like these, the person you travel with can make the 2 much better—or much worse. To find out what made the travel experience smooth, a study was carried out. It focused on travelling with people they didn’t know well and paid special attention to 3 they met online. They chose a destination together, and then traveled as a group. The study shows that choosing the 4 travel partner is very important and a good travel partner has four key qualities. The first one is whether they can control their 5 when something unexpected happens. Good partners stay calm when problems happen, such as when a flight is delayed or plans change. Instead of getting angry, they focus on what to do next, which helps the other person feel 6 too. Another is experience. Partners with travel experience may know the destination well or have useful 7 for the trip. Some people look for partners who can plan routes, drive, or take photos and videos. It really matters to have a 8 travel style. Partners need to match in the same travel likes, which includes how much money they want to spend, when they want to eat or sleep, and so on. The last one is responsibility. Responsible partners do their share during the trip. They help with 9 , follow the agreed plans, and offer useful ideas. And when there are problems, they don’t 10 everything to one person to deal with. To make travel smoother and more enjoyable, let’s take action and choose a good companion. 1．A．work B．change C．continue D．succeed 2．A．example B．lesson C．experience D．story 3．A．strangers B．locals C．tourists D．guests 4．A．famous B．clever C．polite D．right 5．A．mood B．body C．nature D．time 6．A．angry B．calm C．nervous D．sad 7．A．messages B．tools C．skills D．inventions 8．A．different B．similar C．good D．modern 9．A．shopping B．driving C．cleaning D．planning 10．A．turn B．lead C．leave D．move Passage 18 （25-26九年级下·江苏常州·月考）Last month, our school held a “Green Technology Fair” to encourage students to create things that help protect the environment. 15-year-old Li Jia was excited to join it. She 1 making small environmental tools in her free time. Li Jia’s idea came from her grandma’s garden. She noticed that grandma often forgot to water the plants, and some young flowers 2 because of dry soil. “I need to make an instrument that can remind people to water plants,” Li Jia thought. She first 3 some information online about plant care and simple machines. After two days of research, she had a plan for a “smart plant pot”. To make the pot, Li Jia used an old plastic pot from home, a small water sensor (传感器) , and a battery (电池) . The sensor could check the soil’s wetness. When the soil was too dry, the pot would make a soft beep (提示音) to 4 grandma. At first, the sensor didn’t work well. Li Jia tried adjusting the sensor’s angle and changing the battery, but nothing 5 —the beep still didn’t sound when the soil was dry. She felt a little sad, but her science teacher told her, “Keep trying, and you’ll find a way.” Thanks to the teacher’s help, Li Jia changed the sensor’s position in the pot. This time, it was successful! After a week of testing, her “smart plant pot” was 6 . When she showed it at the fair, many students and teachers stopped to look. A judge said, “This work is 7 —it solves a real problem in daily life.” Li Jia won third prize, and she was very happy. Now, Li Jia’s grandma uses the pot every day. “It’s helpful and easy to use,” grandma said. Li Jia plans to make more tools. She believes that 8 small environmental inventions like her smart pot can make our planet greener if people use them correctly. “Learning science isn’t just about books,” Li Jia said. “It’s about 9 ideas into reality and helping others.” Her story tells us that 10 we face difficulties like sensor problems or lack of materials, we should never give up on our good ideas if they can help others. 1．A．enjoyed B．practiced C．considered D．suggested 2．A．grew B．died C．changed D．moved 3．A．forgot B．missed C．collected D．refused 4．A．remind B．inform C．notice D．prepare 5．A．worked B．required C．influenced D．produced 6．A．found B．started C．discovered D．ready 7．A．useful B．lively C．popular D．fascinating 8．A．so B．such C．either D．neither 9．A．turning B．taking C．giving D．keeping 10．A．as soon as B．even if C．as long as D．unless Passage 19 （25-26九年级下·江苏苏州·月考）请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 William grew up in a poor family in Africa.

Which kind of art is your go-to choice for fun? According to a new study, art not only calms your mind but also improves your 191 health. For the first time, scientists in the UK found that art helps the immune (免疫的), endocrine (内分泌的) and nervous systems all at once, said The Guardian. The study included 50 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 40. Half of them went to see real artworks at the Courtauld Gallery in London, 2 the other half looked at copies of the same paintings in a non-gallery setting. All of them wore health sensors throughout the experiment. The result showed a 22 percent drop in stress hormones (激素)for the gallery-goers and an 8 percent drop for the other group, according to Art Fund. Signs of inflammation (炎症) also 3 by about 30 percent for the gallery group. It’s not just visual arts that have such effects. For example, a 2021 Swiss study said that dance reduces stress by improving movement control. What makes art so powerful? Scientists have different ideas. One, developed by Edward Vessel at the College of New York, looks to our brain’s default mode network. This network is 4 believed to play a key role in creativity, and it is usually quiet when we focus on things in the outside world. 5 , when we enjoy art the network becomes active along with other focus-related brain regions. Although we are still learning 6 this works, art’s power has long been used in treatment. According to American Scientist art therapy was first developed to help traumatized (心理受创的) World War Ⅱ soldiers express 7 . The traumas often affected their brain’s speech centers, making traditional talk therapy less effective. Since then, art therapy has benefited over 650 million worldwide.

Mr. Wilde’s English 1 had disappeared from his desk over the weekend. The strange thing was that nothing else was taken—not the computer, not the money in the drawer, only the thirty-five homework papers. Lily, a quiet but observant girl who loved detective novels, decided to investigate. She noticed three important clues that others had missed. First, there were faint 2 footprints near the teacher’s desk, though it hadn’t rained for days. Second, the window lock was broken from the 3 , not the outside. Third, she found a tiny 4 thread caught on the edge of the desk drawer. Lily thought about who had been in the classroom last Friday. There was Zhang Wei, who had stayed after class to ask questions. There was also the cleaning lady, Mrs. Chen, who came every evening. And there was the 5 , Tom, who had borrowed the key to get a book he forgot. Lily examined everyone’s shoes after the morning exercises. Zhang Wei wore black sneakers, clean and dry. Mrs. Chen wore comfortable brown shoes with a special pattern. Tom wore 6 with a little mud on the edges. Looking closer, Lily noticed Tom’s jacket had a small tear near the 7 , and the thread matched the blue thread she found! When Lily quietly asked Tom about Friday evening, he looked 8 . “I just came to get my book,” he said quickly. But Lily remembered something: Tom had already submitted his homework 9 last week. Why would he need to take all the papers? The real answer came when Lily checked the homework records. Tom hadn’t actually submitted his work. He had been absent on Friday when others submitted theirs. He must have taken all the papers so his missing homework wouldn’t be noticed! Lily didn’t embarrass Tom publicly. Instead, she told Mr. Wilde what she found, and the teacher handled the situation privately.

We visited a museum that showed us how porcelain is made. On our way there, we 1 something special: Instead of using 2 materials, all the streetlights were covered in porcelain. Even the rubbish bins were made of porcelain. We were amazed by their creativity. At the museum, we learned about how to make porcelain. First, the porcelain clay needs to be shaped into something, like pots. Then, the craftsmen use a special paint called ceramic glaze (釉) to draw patterns on its surface. It takes them many hours to finish because they work 3 on the fine patterns. After that, the craftsmen put the pieces into a kiln (窑) and burn them at a very high 4 for 12 to hours. Finally, the porcelain can be taken out after it 5 down. As the saying goes, “ 6 only comes through hard work.” It’s easy to see that making porcelain is very time-consuming (耗时的). But the craftsmen’s hard work has resulted in beautiful works. On the last day of our trip, we went to Taoxichuan Ceramic Art Avenue. 7 you are porcelain lovers, you can go there to make your own porcelain works. Tourists walk through the market and 8 pieces they like. As we walked through the area, we chose souvenirs (纪念品) and enjoyed this historic 9 .

Just a few years ago, human drivers often needed to take over to keep the 2 safe. Baidu’s journey into the self-driving industry began in 2013 when it 3 up the Institute of Deep Learning (IDL). Baidu’s founder (创始人), Li Yanhong, never expected the company to be so 4 to the car industry. But as AI technology developed, he saw that AI could greatly change the car industry. In 2015, the company started its self-driving department. In 2017, Baidu started the Apollo Project, 5 after the famous moon landing mission. In 2019, it got 40 6 to test self-driving cars that could carry passengers on certain roads in Beijing. In 2022, the company got the permits (许可) to run fully driverless robotaxi services and brought out its sixth-generation self-driving cars in 2024. Since 2015, Baidu has spent over 150 billion yuan on research and development for self-driving cars, with more than 20 billion yuan spent every year since 2021. “Baidu’s strength in self-driving cars is in its mapping technology, 7 its high-definition (高清晰度) maps.” said Liu Xu, director of Baidu Intelligent Cloud. These maps help cars understand road situations. They also allow features like self-parking, which are important for these cars to work. Looking to the future, Baidu sees 8 opportunities (机会) in China, where the government supports the 9 and infrastructure (基础设施) is developing quickly. 10 the past 10 years have been full of challenges, Baidu is now close to making its self-driving cars a big business, according to Liu. 1．A．in B．at C．behind D．beside 2．A．seat B．passenger C．ride D．car 3．A．gave B．made C．put D．set 4．A．connected B．compared C．contacted D．communicated 5．A．naming B．named C．was named D．name 6．A．students B．drivers C．licenses D．workers 7．A．specially B．especially C．simply D．exactly 8．A．bad B．poor C．large D．great 9．A．technology B．industry C．agriculture D．science 10．A．Although B．But C．Since D．Because Passage 27 （25-26九年级上·江苏南京·期末） Hi, I’ve been looking for a place to share this story which makes me happy whenever I think of it.

Alijah’s eyes lit up with 7 as Caldwell showed him a new drum set and told him it belonged to him now. Alijah rushed forward and gave his teacher a heartfelt hug as she explained who had bought the set. “We want you to have the tools that you need to be successful,” Caldwell told him.

Frost forms 7 the air cools and water condenses (凝结) onto the grass. You may notice the tiny ice-crystals (冰晶) on your way to school in the morning. As the saying goes, “Eat persimmons (柿子) during the Frost’s Descent and you won’t get a runny nose.” Eating persimmons during Frost’s Descent can help people prevent 8 . Moreover it can also protect their bones. Many Chinese have remembered the poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu who described the beautiful sights in Yuelu Mountain in the late autumn. “The frost-covered leaves are 9 than the flowers of spring,” he writes. 10 Frost’s Descent, the maples and other trees start to turn red and yellow all over the hills, bright as fire. 1．A．mark B．influence C．respect D．match 2．A．made B．divided C．put D．changed 3．A．as well as B．because of C．such as D．instead of 4．A．spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter 5．A．warm B．hot C．cool D．freezing 6．A．stop B．appear C．work D．remain 7．A．until B．because C．before D．when 8．A．colds B．fevers C．headaches D．stomachaches 9．A．greener B．redder C．paler D．greyer 10．A．Like B．Since C．After D．Before Passage 30 （25-26九年级上·江苏无锡·月考）Last year in early summer, I was walking up the hill to my house when I saw two birds, each about 60 centimetres tall, standing on the path. They didn’t seem to 1 me until I was right in front of them and then they at once moved quickly into the bushes. I was quite excited by the idea of two birds making a nest (巢) in my front yard, 2 I didn’t really expect them to because wild birds don’t usually nest so close. A few weeks later, the birds 3 again. I found them crouching beside a tree off to the side of the path. As I moved nearer to them, I 4 that they would run away like they did last time. But instead they stuck out their heads and made a threatening (威胁的) croaking (呱呱叫) sound. It seemed to 5 me not to go any nearer. I didn’t know why they were croaking at me until a short time later I made an amazing discovery: they had two small baby birds. As I moved quietly towards the birds, 6 not to make any sudden movements, they started their croaking again. They straightened their necks forward so they seemed 7 and more threatening. The mother carefully crouched down over the chicks, and 8 her babies well in her feathers. I was watching them with 9 when I suddenly tripped and fell to the ground. The birds took this as a threat and the father raced towards me, spreading his wings to protect the mother and the chicks while making himself appear larger.
