Any 16 ?” She asked. I handed her my article about our basketball team 17 Deerfield High School a night before by one point. “Sports stories are 18 ,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page.” After our meeting, we heard someone screaming outside, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big lovely 19 and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. Everyone gathered around Perry’s 20 cage, heartbroken. Then, a student came over and showed me a photo. In the photo was a Deerfield player hiding something parrot-sized under his shirt. “You’re a reporter, right? I 21 to take this photo yesterday,” he said. “He must have stolen Perry to prevent us from winning the game!” Ashley cried. We decided to run the photo with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry.” “This is 22 the story we need.” Ashley said confidently. 23 she left, I took a closer look at the photo again. The clock in the background showed 4:15 pm. 24 , our game against Deerfield started at 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before the game?

Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. I was surprised when Ashley refused to change “Deerfield Stole Perry”. “It’ll 27 more readers,” she continued. I told her if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie which might also bring harm to the player and our paper. Finally, Ashley agreed, “OK, let’s try with 28 stories.” On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it led to hot discussions among students. Though sad, they were comforted by the 29 that Perry was in good care. The story also brought back the sweet 30 of Perry. Many even wanted to share their own Perry stories! Seeing its success, Ashley smiled at me, “You are right!

She is not a star, but an Australian who wears traditional Chinese ethnic (民族的) clothes. Her special look turns heads. Many people are so interested in her clothes that they stand to watch. The girl’s name is Lile Mahoney. She has lived in Shanghai since she was a child. From folk dance to traditional food, she has always had a deep love for Chinese culture. Now 21, Lile studies Chinese Language and Literature at East China Normal University. Her social media videos, “Foreigners Challenge: Wearing All 56 Chinese Ethnic Clothing”, have made her popular online. She started the challenge with a video where she wore traditional Mongolian (蒙古族的) clothing. One moment, she is in her usual clothes. Next, she shows up in a beautiful Mongolian coat. As she walks down the street, many people stop to ask her questions to learn more about what she is wearing. Over the following months, Lile tried many other ethnic clothes. She didn’t just wear them. Instead, she looked into the culture and history behind them. Sometimes, she even traveled to visit the ethnic groups. In Guizhou, for example, she dressed as a Dong (侗族的) girl and joined the local people in singing and dancing during a traditional festival. Lile says the challenge is not only about fun and fashion, but also about bridging different cultures. Many of her friends in Australia knew little about China’s rich traditions until they saw her videos.

Many people are so interested in her clothes that they stand to watch.”可知，她独特的造型让人们驻足观看，即“吸引目光”，与“catches one’s eyes”含义一致。 35．根据第4段中的“She didn’t just wear them. Instead, she looked into the culture and history behind them.”可知，她不仅只是穿它们，还研究了服饰背后的文化和历史。 36．根据第2段中的“From folk dance to traditional food, she has always had a deep love for Chinese culture.”以及最后1段中的“Lile hopes her videos will inspire more people to take a closer look at Chinese culture.”可知，她热爱中国文化并想分享传播。 37．全文围绕澳洲女孩Lile Mahoney定居上海后，喜爱并传播中国传统民族文化的经历展开，因此文章主要讲述的是一个外国女孩对中国文化的热爱。 C At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚), a robot show called Yang-BOT amazed everyone. It was the world’s first large AI-driven robot performance. A year later, in 2026, the show took it to a new level. It was performed by robots from the Chinese company Unitree together with over 80 students from Henan. On the stage, the robots did some very difficult Kung Fu moves. For example, they performed backflips (后空翻) and jumped nearly three meters high into the air. They also used their hands to wave wooden sticks, just like real Kung Fu masters. It was a wonderful mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. How could the robots be so “smart”? Wang Xingxing, the founder of Unitree Robotics, shared the secret. He said, “The robots practiced over 100 million times in a computer simulation (模拟) before they stepped onto the real stage. This is called ‘Reinforcement Learning.’ It helps robots learn how to keep balance and finish difficult moves. Every single move was the result of hundreds of millions of tries in the computer.” The Wu-BOT show was a big step forward. In the past, robots only performed simple dances. But this time, all 26 robots acted on their own, without any outside help. Wu-BOT is more than just a show. It proves that Chinese-made robots are no longer just following orders. They are becoming faster and stronger. In fact, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics. True, robots are still in the early stages, and don’t have everyday uses yet. But when you look at what has happened in such a short time, you’ll probably say, “The future is much closer than I expected.” 38．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．The Yang-BOT show. B．The Wu-BOT performance. C．The Spring Festival Gala. D．The Chinese company Unitree. 39．Why could the robots be so “smart” according to Wang Xingxing? A．They kept practicing in a computer. B．They learned from other smart robots. C．They trained at school with students. D．They followed human orders on the stage. 40．What can we know from the last paragraph? A．Robots are already used in everyday life. B．Robots won’t follow orders any more. C．Robots will do everything for people soon. D．China is leading the world in robotics. 41．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Wu-BOT and the Kung Fu Students B．How to Practice Robot Kung Fu Moves C．Wu-BOT: Big Progress in Robot Technology D．Wu-BOT and Yang-BOT: Different Robot Shows 【答案】38．A 39．A 40．D 41．C 【导语】本文介绍了2026年春晚的Wu-BOT机器人表演，讲述了其高难度功夫动作、通过海量计算机模拟练习实现智能的原理，并指出这标志着中国机器人技术取得巨大进步、处于世界领先地位。 38．根据前文“At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚), a robot show called Yang-BOT amazed everyone.”可知，it 指代前文的Yang-BOT show。 39．根据第三段“It helps robots learn how to keep balance and finish difficult moves. Every single move was the result of hundreds of millions of tries in the computer”，可知机器人聪明的原因在于大量的电脑模拟练习。 40．根据第四段“In fact, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics.”，可知中国在机器人领域领先世界。 41．全文围绕Wu-BOT展开，重点讲它实现高难度自主动作、是技术巨大进步，因此Wu-BOT: Big Progress in Robot Technology最贴合。 D Horses have lived with humans for a long time, so they are loyal (忠诚的) partners. Because of this, they are important in many parts of human life. Across different cultures, horses have held special meanings. They have shaped traditions, appeared in ancient stories, and even influenced the way people think today. In Western traditions, horses stand for power, speed, and freedom. The image (形象) of an American cowboy who is riding across the open land makes people feel a sense of adventure. In European history, soldiers rode horses to fight, so horses were often seen as symbols of power and honor. In ancient stories, horses would appear in different forms. In Greek stories, Pegasus was a clever horse with wings that could both run and fly quickly. In Norse stories, there was a famous eight-legged horse called Sleipnir, which was a symbol of courage and magic. In modern times, horses are still playing important roles in human life. There are many horse competitions, such as the Kentucky Derby and events in the Olympics. Horses are also used in therapy programs to help people with health problems. Their kindness and ability to learn make them great partners to patients. As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the horse means the spirit of being brave and keeping heading forward. People born in the Year of the Horse are often believed to be active and hardworking. Horses have had a great influence on cultures around the world. Their importance goes beyond history, and people continue to admire them today. Whether in ancient stories or modern sports, horses remain a common symbol of power, loyalty, and freedom. 42．According to the passage, which picture comes from Greek stories? A． B． C． D． 43．What does the underlined word “therapy” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Language. B．Computer. C．Education. D．Treatment. 44．What does the horse stand for in the Chinese zodiac? A．Speed and freedom. B．Power and honour. C．Courage and hard work. D．Loyalty and good luck. 45．In which part of a magazine can you probably read this text? A．Music and art. B．Sports and health. C．Animals and culture. D．Science and technology. 【答案】42．A 43．D 44．C 45．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了马在人类历史和不同文化中的特殊含义。文章详细阐述了马在西方传统、古代神话（希腊和北欧）、现代生活以及中国生肖文化中的象征意义，展现了马作为人类忠诚伙伴的重要性。 42．第三段提到：“In Greek stories, Pegasus was a clever horse with wings that could both run and fly quickly.”。文中明确描述希腊故事里的马是长有翅膀的。 43．第四段提到：“Horses are also used in therapy programs to help people with health problems.”，并称它们是“great partners to patients”。通过“健康问题”以及“患者”等上下文线索可以推断出，“therapy”在此处指医疗方面的“治疗”。 44．第五段指出：…the horse means the spirit of being brave…People born in the Year of the Horse are often believed to be active and hardworking.”。句中“brave”对应选项中的“Courage”，“hardworking”对应“hard work”，这直接证明了马在中国生肖中代表了勇气和勤劳。 45．文章首段指出：“Across different cultures, horses have held special meanings. They have shaped traditions…”。全文核心围绕“马”这一动物在不同社会背景下的“文化”内涵及传统象征展开论述，内容兼具动物科普与文化探讨性质，因此最可能出现在杂志的“动物与文化”版块。 四、信息还原 From time to time, you may experience strong feelings of disappointment (失望), sadness, frustration (沮丧), even helplessness. 46 Your friends might tell you to “calm down” or “control yourself.” But what does that really mean? Accept Your Feelings It is okay to feel overwhelmed (不知所措的); it is okay to feel nervous; and it is okay to feel as if the world is going to end. In fact, it is only a natural human response (反应) to stress. Don’t worry too much. 47 Accepting them is the first step toward change. Step Away for a While If it is all too overwhelming, just step away—take a break from that task. For example, if you have been studying very hard for your science test but suddenly feel your heart is racing and you don’t seem to remember anything, just stop what you are doing. Go to the kitchen and have a snack. Go outside and feel the wind. 48 Make a List to Beat Overwhelm Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when you have too many things to do, such as studying many subjects or organizing a birthday event. The best thing to do is to sit down and make a list of the things that need to get done. 49 Then prioritize (优先处理) these tasks according to their importance or urgency (紧迫性). You will feel calmer at the end of writing the list. Set Boundaries by Saying “No” Where you can help it, say “no”—learn to set boundaries for yourself. For example, if your friend asks you to go shopping with her to buy a gift for her mother but you know you have to study for an important test, say “no” to her. You wouldn’t want to stress yourself out when you end up not having enough time to study for the test. So, consider yourself, and excuse yourself. Learning to manage strong feelings takes time and practice. 50 You only have one YOU. A．There is nothing wrong with your feelings this way. B．Dealing with such feelings does not come easy for many of us. C．You should forget your feelings and put more effort into your work.

He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. Everyone gathered around Perry’s 20 cage, heartbroken. Then, a student came over and showed me a photo. In the photo was a Deerfield player hiding something parrot-sized under his shirt. “You’re a reporter, right? I 21 to take this photo yesterday,” he said. “He must have stolen Perry to prevent us from winning the game!” Ashley cried. We decided to run the photo with the headline “Deerfield Stole Perry.” “This is 22 the story we need.” Ashley said confidently. 23 she left, I took a closer look at the photo again. The clock in the background showed 4:15 pm. 24 , our game against Deerfield started at 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before the game? I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he 25 Perry was gone. “He’s not missing. He just needs a rest. He’s ready for some 26 days,” he said.

I told her if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie which might also bring harm to the player and our paper. Finally, Ashley agreed, “OK, let’s try with 28 stories.” On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it led to hot discussions among students. Though sad, they were comforted by the 29 that Perry was in good care. The story also brought back the sweet 30 of Perry. Many even wanted to share their own Perry stories!

She is not a star, but an Australian who wears traditional Chinese ethnic (民族的) clothes. Her special look turns heads. Many people are so interested in her clothes that they stand to watch. The girl’s name is Lile Mahoney. She has lived in Shanghai since she was a child. From folk dance to traditional food, she has always had a deep love for Chinese culture. Now 21, Lile studies Chinese Language and Literature at East China Normal University. Her social media videos, “Foreigners Challenge: Wearing All 56 Chinese Ethnic Clothing”, have made her popular online. She started the challenge with a video where she wore traditional Mongolian (蒙古族的) clothing. One moment, she is in her usual clothes. Next, she shows up in a beautiful Mongolian coat. As she walks down the street, many people stop to ask her questions to learn more about what she is wearing. Over the following months, Lile tried many other ethnic clothes. She didn’t just wear them. Instead, she looked into the culture and history behind them. Sometimes, she even traveled to visit the ethnic groups. In Guizhou, for example, she dressed as a Dong (侗族的) girl and joined the local people in singing and dancing during a traditional festival.

C At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚), a robot show called Yang-BOT amazed everyone. It was the world’s first large AI-driven robot performance. A year later, in 2026, the show took it to a new level. It was performed by robots from the Chinese company Unitree together with over 80 students from Henan. On the stage, the robots did some very difficult Kung Fu moves. For example, they performed backflips (后空翻) and jumped nearly three meters high into the air. They also used their hands to wave wooden sticks, just like real Kung Fu masters. It was a wonderful mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology. How could the robots be so “smart”? Wang Xingxing, the founder of Unitree Robotics, shared the secret. He said, “The robots practiced over 100 million times in a computer simulation (模拟) before they stepped onto the real stage. This is called ‘Reinforcement Learning.’ It helps robots learn how to keep balance and finish difficult moves. Every single move was the result of hundreds of millions of tries in the computer.” The Wu-BOT show was a big step forward. In the past, robots only performed simple dances. But this time, all 26 robots acted on their own, without any outside help. Wu-BOT is more than just a show. It proves that Chinese-made robots are no longer just following orders. They are becoming faster and stronger. In fact, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics. True, robots are still in the early stages, and don’t have everyday uses yet. But when you look at what has happened in such a short time, you’ll probably say, “The future is much closer than I expected.” 38．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

C．Robots will do everything for people soon. D．China is leading the world in robotics. 41．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Wu-BOT and the Kung Fu Students B．How to Practice Robot Kung Fu Moves C．Wu-BOT: Big Progress in Robot Technology D．Wu-BOT and Yang-BOT: Different Robot Shows D Horses have lived with humans for a long time, so they are loyal (忠诚的) partners. Because of this, they are important in many parts of human life. Across different cultures, horses have held special meanings. They have shaped traditions, appeared in ancient stories, and even influenced the way people think today. In Western traditions, horses stand for power, speed, and freedom. The image (形象) of an American cowboy who is riding across the open land makes people feel a sense of adventure. In European history, soldiers rode horses to fight, so horses were often seen as symbols of power and honor. In ancient stories, horses would appear in different forms. In Greek stories, Pegasus was a clever horse with wings that could both run and fly quickly. In Norse stories, there was a famous eight-legged horse called Sleipnir, which was a symbol of courage and magic. In modern times, horses are still playing important roles in human life. There are many horse competitions, such as the Kentucky Derby and events in the Olympics. Horses are also used in therapy programs to help people with health problems. Their kindness and ability to learn make them great partners to patients. As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the horse means the spirit of being brave and keeping heading forward. People born in the Year of the Horse are often believed to be active and hardworking. Horses have had a great influence on cultures around the world. Their importance goes beyond history, and people continue to admire them today. Whether in ancient stories or modern sports, horses remain a common symbol of power, loyalty, and freedom. 42．According to the passage, which picture comes from Greek stories? A． B． C． D． 43．What does the underlined word “therapy” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Language. B．Computer. C．Education. D．Treatment. 44．What does the horse stand for in the Chinese zodiac?

C．Animals and culture. D．Science and technology. 四、信息还原 From time to time, you may experience strong feelings of disappointment (失望), sadness, frustration (沮丧), even helplessness. 46 Your friends might tell you to “calm down” or “control yourself.” But what does that really mean? Accept Your Feelings It is okay to feel overwhelmed (不知所措的); it is okay to feel nervous; and it is okay to feel as if the world is going to end. In fact, it is only a natural human response (反应) to stress. Don’t worry too much. 47 Accepting them is the first step toward change. Step Away for a While If it is all too overwhelming, just step away—take a break from that task. For example, if you have been studying very hard for your science test but suddenly feel your heart is racing and you don’t seem to remember anything, just stop what you are doing. Go to the kitchen and have a snack. Go outside and feel the wind. 48 Make a List to Beat Overwhelm Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed when you have too many things to do, such as studying many subjects or organizing a birthday event. The best thing to do is to sit down and make a list of the things that need to get done. 49 Then prioritize (优先处理) these tasks according to their importance or urgency (紧迫性). You will feel calmer at the end of writing the list. Set Boundaries by Saying “No” Where you can help it, say “no”—learn to set boundaries for yourself. For example, if your friend asks you to go shopping with her to buy a gift for her mother but you know you have to study for an important test, say “no” to her. You wouldn’t want to stress yourself out when you end up not having enough time to study for the test. So, consider yourself, and excuse yourself. Learning to manage strong feelings takes time and practice. 50 You only have one YOU. A．There is nothing wrong with your feelings this way. B．Dealing with such feelings does not come easy for many of us. C．You should forget your feelings and put more effort into your work. D．Always be in touch with yourself, and learn what works best for you. E．Writing something down is a good idea as it would help you to deal with different tasks. F．Such actions will help you clear your mind and you will feel better when you return to that task. 五、单词拼写 51．The French book could be ________ (她的), because she is learning French. 52．We sensed a strong __________（悲伤）and pain under the strangely beautiful music made by Abing. 53．His cousin is so ________ (幽默) that he always tells us some funny jokes. 54．His sister is as friendly and ________ (自然) as the rest of the family. 55．More and more people are worried about the ________ (安全) of the food they buy. 56．Mary is a little ________ (thin) than her sister Lucy and they both like wearing beautiful dresses. 57．After the ________ (invent) of paper, people started to write on paper to make books. 58．We should start a good habit like brushing our ________ (tooth) twice a day. 59．As we all know, September is the ________ (nine) month of the year. 60．Children should learn to do their homework by ________ (they). 六、选词填空 阅读下列短文，从方框中选择适当的词或短语并用其正确形式填空，使短文通顺，意思完整，每词或短语限用一次。 Save Our Environment we   because   doubt   rapid   after all Our planet is changing for the worse, and it’s time for us to save it.

Have you ever heard of stories about them? Maybe because they can move smoothly without l 81 , you think they are very scary. In fact, they are not as d 82 as people think. These creatures are worth studying because they play an important role in nature. And in Chinese history, snakes are c 83 as a symbol of high status (地位), rebirth and a deep connection between humans and gods. Researchers have found that in Erlitou Culture (18th-16th centuries BC), snake images (形象) often a 84 on beautiful artifacts (文物). These designs were often carved on bronze objects or painted on pottery. They might stand for some power or forces in ancient times. An amazing d 85 at the Erlitou Site (遗址) in Henan is a long, snake-like animal made of over 2,000turquoise (绿松石) pieces. Experts think it could represent either a dragon or a snake because they look so s 86 to each other. Starting from the Shang Dynasty, people believed the universe (宇宙) had t 87 parts, with gods in heaven, humans on Earth, and underworld for the dead. Images of humans with snake bodies were then created. T 88 science explains the universe differently now, these old stories remind us of valuable human search for meanings. Snakes have the ability to shed their skin. “In ancient people’s eyes, n 89 could truly kill a snake. It seemed to have died when shedding skin, but soon came back to life,” said Han Ding, a professor at Henan University. Living on Earth for so long, the snakes have never been away from Chinese people’s culture and life. “They s 90 as a connection between humans and gods, and finally became a zodiac symbol (生肖) for the common folk,” said Wang Fang from Jinsha Site Museum in Chengdu. 十、书面表达 91．假设你是张华，你校英语论坛正在开展以“Plans for the Summer Holiday”为主题的分享活动。请根据以下提示，写一篇短文在论坛分享你的暑期计划，说明选择该计划的理由，并表达你的期待。 注意： (1)提供的信息仅供参考使用； (2)文中不得出现真实姓名、学校等信息； (3)词数80左右。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
