Ⅷ．阅读理解（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分） 第一节 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Cornell University raised the 3 Ps for effective (有效的) reading. The 3 Ps — purpose (目标), preview (预览), plan — allow students to get into their reading and learn more effectively. Purpose — “Why am I reading this?” Think about the reason you’re reading. Is it for fun, to learn something new, or to find an answer? Example: “I’m reading this story to find out how the hero solves the problem he meets.” Why it helps: Knowing your purpose keeps you focused and makes reading more meaningful. Preview — “Let’s take a quick look!” Before reading, look at the title, pictures, and headings. Look through the pages to see what’s coming. Example: “I see a picture of a dragon — maybe this is an adventure!.” Why it helps: Previewing builds your interest and gives hints (线索) about what you will read. Plan — “How will I read this?” Decide how you’ll read — slowly to understand new words, or quickly to get the main idea. Example: “I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words.” Why it helps: Planning helps you keep on tasks and remember more of what you read. 51. What do we use 3 Ps for? A. Effective listening. B. Effective reading. C. Effective writing. D. Effective talking. 52. What does “previewing” help you do? A. Focus on the reading task. B. Understand new words. C. Build interest and get hints. D. Read more quickly. 53. Which of the following example is “planning”? A. “I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know.” B. “I’m reading this science article to learn how bees help plants grow.” C. “I see the picture of colorful fish — this book is probably about ocean life.” D. “I’m reading the traveling guide book to decide where to go on my next vacation.” B Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, shangcesuo instead of xiacesuo, and yijianxiangzuo instead of yijianxiangyou? Many Chinese words have directions in them, and there is lots of history and culture hidden behind them. When going shopping, Chinese people say maidongxi instead of mainanbei. A study says that in the Tang Dynasty, there were two popular markets in Chang’an, the national capital at the time. One was called the East Market, and the other was called the West Market. When shopping, people usually went to the East Market first, and then went to the West Market. As time went by, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi. We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why? In ancient times, houses were laid out (布局) in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeastern part of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On maps, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about the north as shang and the south as xia. So people would say they’re going up to the bathroom and down to the kitchen. Ancient Chinese not only used shang and xia to refer to directions but also social positions. For example, people used huangshang to refer to the emperor and dianxia to refer to princes who had a lower position than the emperor. Most people today are right-handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hand to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. So in ancient China, “left” was related to being different, such as in yijianxiangzuo. If people don’t accept common beliefs, we still say they are following ________. When shaking hands, it’s important to know which hand to use. In most cultures, the right hand is generally used for a handshake. For example, in some countries, such as India and Nepal, the left hand is considered unclean. However, if you are in a culture where the left hand is used, you’d better do as the locals do. “Left” and “right” also have something to do with people’s social position. For a long time in ancient China, “right” stood for a higher position than “left”. For example, the character “佑”, developed from “右”, means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position. 54. Why does the writer use shangcesuo and yijianxiangzuo in the first paragraph? A. To tell a story. B. To introduce the topic. C. To give an example. D. To solve a mystery. 55. Which picture shows the layout of houses in ancient China according to the passage? A. B. C. D. 56. Which of the following can be best put in “________”? A. qishangmanxia B. shangcuanxiatiao C. pangmenzuodao D. zuosiyouxiang 57. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. In ancient China, most of the people were left-handed. B. In ancient Chinese, the word “right” meant being different. C. In India, people should shake hands with their right hand. D. When shaking hands, we should never use the left hand. C It was a summer, but what a summer. I once had my own vegetable garden. It was my first and also my last because I couldn’t go to the countryside often enough to keep my eyes on it. Anyway, the second summer, the bugs (虫) found us and ate some of the vegetables. I could see the garden needed more care than I could give it, and I stopped. But the first season was so pleasant. I still remember sitting in that garden — fresh air on my face, quiet all around me. Sometimes I would sing, softly at first, then a little louder. Soon a small group of cows walked over and put their big heads over the fence (栅栏), looking at me gently. Mostly I sat there, picking green beans, boiling them, adding a little butter and salt, and eating them just like that. They were so delicious that I felt like singing again, right there in the quiet garden. Once I thought life was too short for all my dreams. There were so many choices, and it made me sad that things had to end or I had to choose between them. How could I both live on a farm and travel the world? It seemed that enjoying life fully only meant loss. However, nothing was lost. These memories are a permanent (永恒的) part of me. I often think back to that wonderful summer and my lovely garden. Little by little, the truth became okay with me: someone who loves many things can’t make all of them permanent. You have to walk away from one thing so you can have another. So, it’s common for us to feel a little lost sometimes. Then I understood that summer with my fresh vegetables, the hours I spent sitting on the ground, and the unexpected love from the cows — all these filled an empty place in my heart. And it has never been empty since. 58. What made the author stop planting the vegetable garden? A. She didn’t have enough time or energy for it. B. The garden was too far away for her to visit. C. The plants were eaten by insects. D. She was not interested in it. 59. Which of the following is NOT a simple pleasure for the author in her garden time? A. Enjoying the quiet and fresh air. B. Eating freshly cooked vegetables. C. Selling vegetables for money. D. Having unexpected animal visitors. 60. According to the author, what did the experience of that summer finally bring to her life? A. The sad feeling of not keeping the garden. B. The ways to grow vegetables successfully. C. More free time to enjoy being close to nature later. D. Permanent memories that filled an empty space inside. D The Cambridge Dictionary’s Word of the Year 2025, “parasocial”, made me think of my college years. When I went to college, I expected to have the kind of social experiences I had seen in some old movies: close friendships with curious readers and late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But social life at my college was full of loud parties, not late-night discussions. Worse, it was a school in the American South with a different set of cultural expectations. Northern kids like me had a hard time fitting in. It was a lonely time. Reading the work of people who seemed to care about the same things I did helped me feel better. “Insist on (坚持) yourself,” Ralph Waldo Emerson advised. “Never imitate (仿效).” I could almost feel his hand on my shoulder as I stood apart from my schoolmates. I talked with other students, of course. But so often, I felt as if they could never be my friends. With friends, I imagined, there must be a real meeting of minds. Friendships come in many forms. It’s simply easier to find people who share our ideas in books and movies than in the small circle of people nearby. After all, it’s a bigger world out there. We can easily find all sorts of people writing or being written about, photographing or being photographed. We may find people we really admire, who are better-looking or smarter than anyone we know personally. It is easy to want to make friends with the characters in books and movies. Today, though, there is another choice for people who have difficulty forming connections: AI. You can create a friend that you cannot find in real life. AI can take on almost any role. In some ways, it seems like the perfect friend. But these parasocial friendships are always one-sided. Real friendships are reciprocal. We want support from our friends, and they want support from us. We want to share our news and ideas with our friends, and they want to share theirs with us. It’s comforting to know that you’re not alone in having a certain thought or fear. However, it’s also important to provide that comfort for someone else. So, celebrate your admiration for Ralph Waldo Emerson (or Taylor Swift, as the case may be). But don’t be afraid to have lunch with someone who celebrates their admiration for someone completely different. 61. According to the author, when he went to college, he expected to ________. A. become a curious reader B. have close friendships with other book lovers C. develop parasocial friendships with book characters D. discuss the meaning of life with his professors at night 62. According to the article, parasocial friendships include those with ________. ① AI ② book characters ③ movie characters ④ people with similar interests ⑤ people with different interests A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ③④⑤ D. ①②⑤ 63. Which of the following words from the article is the opposite of the underlined word “reciprocal”? A. Real. B. Curious. C. One-sided. D. Comforting. 64. At the end of the article, the author suggests that people ________. A. replace real friends with AI friends B. read more books to discover like-minded friends C. be open to connecting with people who are different D. only make friends with those who share the same interests E On March 28, 2026, history was made in Portimão, Portugal. French rider Valentin Debise crossed the finish line on a Chinese motorcycle called ZXMOTO 820RR-RS. He won the race with a lead of nearly 4 seconds! This was a historic moment because it was the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand had ever won at the World Superbike Championship (世界超级摩托车锦标赛). The man behind this victory is Zhang Xue. His story is like a real-life racing movie. Born in a small village in Hunan Province in 1987, Zhang Xue had a difficult childhood. He was so poor that he had to drop out of school at age 14. He became a motorcycle repair apprentice (学徒), sleeping in a small room above the repair shop. His hands were always covered in oil, but his heart was full of dreams. At 19, Zhang saw a TV program about motorcycle racing. He was so excited that he rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to catch up with the TV crew, hoping to get a chance to enter the racing. People laughed at him, but he never gave up his dream. For the next 20 years, Zhang worked day and night, throwing himself into motorcycle research and development. In 2024, he started his own company, naming it “ZXMOTO” after himself. Many people thought he was crazy to compete with big international brands like Yamaha and Ducati. But Zhang believed in himself. “When my effort is ten times that of my opponents (对手), why shouldn’t I win?” he often said. When the race ended in Portugal, Zhang was watching the live broadcast (直播) in Chongqing, China. He jumped up, waved the national flag, and burst into tears. “We finally made it,” he shouted. “This is not just a win for our team. It’s a win for Chinese manufacturing (制造业)!” The ZXMOTO motorcycle that won the race was completely designed and made in China, and it proved that “Made in China” can be the best in the world. 65. What is the correct order of the following events in Zhang Xue’s life? a. He dropped out of school and became a repair apprentice. b. He started his own company ZXMOTO. c. He rode 100 kilometers in heavy rain to chase a TV crew. d. He watched the live broadcast of the winning race in Chongqing. A. a → c → b → d B. a → b → c → d C. c → a → b → d D. c → b → a → d 66. Why did the writer say “His story is like a real-life racing movie”? A. Because Zhang Xue acted in a racing movie. B. Because Zhang Xue’s life is full of challenges and inspiring, just like an exciting movie. C. Because Zhang Xue made a movie about motorcycle racing. D. Because Zhang Xue likes watching racing movies in his free time. 67 What is the main idea of the passage? A. It introduces the rules of the World Superbike Championship. B. It tells the story of Zhang Xue, who made Chinese motorcycles win a world championship with hard work and persistence. C. It explains how to start a motorcycle company in China. D. It shows why French riders like riding Chinese motorcycles. 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 One day, Confucius and his students went through a large forest. They saw a bow-backed (驼背的) old man. He was catching cicadas (蝉) as easily as picking up fallen leaves. Confucius asked, “Your skill is excellent! Is there a secret to it?” “Of course! I have my method!” the old man answered. “I trained my hands for six months. First, I learned to place two clay balls (泥丸) on top of my bamboo stick without falling off. As I did it, I could often catch cicadas. When the balls became three, I missed only once or twice. Finally, I placed five clay balls. Once I could do that, catching cicadas became as easy as picking them from the ground!” The old man continued, “But that was not enough. Cicadas are clever. I trained to stand as still as a tree and hold the bamboo stick without any shaking so that I wouldn’t make any noise or scare cicadas away. More importantly, I trained my mind. When I focus, I see nothing but the cicada’s wings. I don’t turn my head or look around at all. At that moment, nothing can take my attention away. How could I not succeed?” Hearing this, Confucius turned to his students and said, “No matter what you do, you should keep training and put all your heart into it. This is what this old man has taught us.” This is the ancient Chinese story — Goulouchengtiao. The wise thoughts are passed on and still influence us. 根据语篇内容，按要求回答问题。 68.
