In a lively martial arts (武术) club in Akpro-Misserete, Benin (贝宁), the sound of feet hitting the ground and cries of “Hay-Hah!” fill the air. Damien Degbo, 53, teaches his students kung fu and tai chi there. For him, Chinese martial arts are more than just exercise. They’re a way of life and a bridge between Benin and China.
At the age of 13, Degbo watched Chinese martial arts movies in Benin’s capital. He loved how these actors fought with beauty and power. That’s when his love of kung fu began. Degbo joined a private kung fu club and later learnt Chinese at a culture centre. In 2010, he started his own club, Super Shaolin of Benin. In 2014, he got a chance to train at China’s Shaolin Temple. The training was hard, but it taught him a lot about Chinese culture. He learnt how to practice calligraphy, tea preparation and traditional Chinese medicine.
Now, Degbo’s club has more than 350 students. He teaches not only Chinese martial arts but also Chinese culture. Chefif Deen, a student of the kung fu master, says kung fu has changed his life, helping him become stronger and more self-controlled.

(2025·山东济南·中考真题)When I was a kid, my two brothers and I would stay with Grandparents for a week during summer vacation. We always looked forward to spending every moment with them, especially Grandpa, the “hero” in our eyes.
Grandpa became blind when he was 20 years old, but it never slowed down the strong-willed (坚强的) man. He worked in a shop every day. Customers would give him money, and he would return the right change and give them exactly what they wanted. He had many friends who visited the shop just to talk to him, and at that time, I helped to hand customers their drinks and snacks. This made me feel grown-up.
He also cooked lunch and washed dishes while Grandma worked. As a boy, I would watch him move around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was so surprised about how he moved from cooking to washing the dishes, never making a mistake.
It seemed like every time I stayed with him, we would visit someone in the evening who was weak or very sick. Although he can’t see things, he never let it stop him from working and being kind to others. His love for people never ended.
During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that I still treasure today. They take me back to those days and remind me how special he was. I miss every moment I stayed with him. To this day, I still dislike hearing someone say, “I can’t do that,” because I knew a blind man who never said those words.

(2025·黑龙江大庆·中考真题)This summer, the students in our class were required to give a presentation (演示活动) on traditional Chinese culture in English. As a girl who is very interested in Chinese tea culture, I immediately suggested it as the topic for my group. My team members reached an agreement because we considered this topic easy to win the competition and I was chosen as the group leader.
When I was told that the best team in my grade would have the chance to act at our school’s Foreign Language Festival, the strong wish to shine at the festival pushed me to work harder. To improve the quality of the presentation, I added some special art forms. Also, as the leader of the whole team, I had to plan everything and, as instructed, keep it to five minutes. I did what I could to organize our presentation.
While I was preparing for the presentation, I learned much more about Chinese tea culture. I came to realise that my understanding of it was not enough. “Tea culture, with its special magic and long history, lights the way for us modern people to return to nature and find inner (内心的) peace.”
As the presentation ended, I found that it was the magic of tea culture, not the presentation itself, that truly attracted me. Through this event, I understood that Chinese tea culture is more than a topic, but a symbol of the ancient stories waiting for us to further explore. By exploring the tradition, I ended up finding a sense of inner peace.

(2025·广东广州·中考真题)It was going to be a long afternoon. Aunt Jen and Uncle Pete were visiting, which meant I had to play with Amy.
I was mixing salt with mud (泥) in the garden. Amy was dancing around like a butterfly. Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies.
“Okay, Amy,” I said. “You can help spread this salt on the mud.”
She took the salt shaker. “Are you growing butterflies like plants, Simon?”
“Questions again!” I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age, when my family started planting this butterfly garden. “Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy,” I explained. “Once, a butterfly sat right here on my arm, tasting my salty sweat.”
“I want a butterfly to sit on me!” cried Amy. “I want to wear it like a flower!”
“Butterflies don’t grow like flowers,” I said. “They fly wherever they like.”
“Aww...make them come to me,” Amy said.
“They will. They love our garden’s plants, with nice leaves and juice, and this...” I said, pointing to the salty mud.
“I don’t like mud,” Amy said. “See, my new pink shoes are muddy—and pink’s my favorite color!”
I tried to distract her attention. “Do you know butterflies have favorite colors, too?”
“Pink?” Amy asked, starting to smile again.
“They like purple better, and orange,” I explained, pointing to the nearby butterfly weed with dark orange flowers. “Look, a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers.”
I kept talking so she wouldn’t try to catch it. “Butterfly weed is a perfect host plant. Butterflies lay eggs here, which become caterpillars, then chrysalises, and finally beautiful butterflies...”
As I spoke, Amy saw a big bee. “Shoo! No bees allowed!” she cried.
“Hey, it’s okay. Butterflies and bees both work for flowers,” I told her.
“Butterflies work?” she asked.
“Yes, listen...”
We stayed in the garden until sunset. Then I smelt bread and suggested, “Let’s rest in the hammock.”
As we lay together, Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and cried, “Simon, it’s like a flying flower!”
That made me smile. We swung gently back and forth, happy just to watch all the flowers—the ones that fly and those that don’t—until Mom called us in to dinner.
1.Why did Simon mix the salt with the mud?
A.To play games with Amy. B.To prepare food for butterflies.
C.To make the plants grow better. D.To make it safer for Amy to dance.
2.How did Simon feel when Amy asked her first question?
A.He couldn’t believe how silly Amy was. B.He was surprised at Amy’s rich imagination.
C.He was a bit impatient but also very understanding. D.He was glad that Amy was curious about butterflies.
3.What does the underlined phrase “distract her attention” mean in the story?
A.Clean the mud off her shoes. B.Change her mind about mud.
C.Keep her away from the mud. D.Get her to forget about the mud.
4.Why did Simon feel happy at the end of the story?
A.The bread for dinner smelt good. B.He enjoyed the afternoon with Amy.
C.The hammock was really comfortable. D.Amy thanked him for the butterfly lesson.

【导语】本文主要讲述了Simon和表妹Amy在花园里度过的一个下午,Simon通过向Amy解释关于蝴蝶的知识,成功转移了她对泥巴的注意力,两人一起享受了观察蝴蝶和花朵的时光。

2.推理判断题。根据“‘Questions again!’ I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age, when my family started planting this butterfly garden.”可知,当Amy问第一个问题时,Simon摇了摇头,觉得她有很多要学,这表现出他有点不耐烦,但同时也表现出他很理解Amy的好奇心,愿意教她。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据“‘I don’t like mud,’ Amy said. ‘See, my new pink shoes are muddy—and pink’s my favorite color!’”可知,Amy不喜欢泥巴,她的新粉色鞋子沾上了泥巴,她很不喜欢。再根据后文Simon开始谈论蝴蝶喜欢的颜色,试图转移Amy的注意力,让她不再关注泥巴。因此,“distract her attention”在这里的意思是“转移她的注意力”,让她不再注意泥巴。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据“That made me smile. We swung gently back and forth, happy just to watch all the flowers—the ones that fly and those that don’t—until Mom called us in to dinner.”可知,Simon在故事结尾感到开心是因为他和Amy一起享受了一个愉快的下午,一起观察了蝴蝶和花朵。故选B。

(2026·山东泰安·一模).
When I was a kid, I loved climbing tall trees to enjoy the view from up high. I grew up in Florida, a flat place, so I couldn’t climb high things often. But in high school, I fell in love with climbing again. Now I really can’t live without this hobby.
At first, I was impatient. I tried to climb the wall as fast as I could and made quick decisions. But I soon got very tired. Then I knew I had to change my way. Now, before climbing, I think about the path in my mind and feel for holds with my hands. It’s like playing chess—planning moves step by step. When I have difficulty, I ask experienced climbers for help. I learn new skills and make new friends. Being in the climbing club also helps me become more social.
One great thing about climbing is that there is no single right way. There are always new challenges. My partners say I choose unusual ways, but they feel easy and comfortable to me.
I love climbing so much that I often lose track of time and climb for hours. I only care about reaching the top and forget all my worries. Even when my friends are tired and want to stop, I still want to try one more time.
Climbing teaches me patience, teamwork, and determination. I no longer say “I can’t.” I face difficulties with confidence. If one way doesn’t work, I try another. I’m not afraid to make decisions. Climbing makes my body and mind strong, and I learn how to solve problems better.

(2026·辽宁沈阳·一模)“Click, click…” The drummer (鼓手) gave the beat, and the band started to play. Kai played the guqin along with the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped up and cheered. When the music ended, there was a strange silence. They all looked at the teachers.
Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?”
Kai said in a low voice, “I wanted to do something different…to modernize (使现代化) the guqin’s sound.”
“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li.
“We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.”
Kai asked for another chance and they finally agreed.
Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. Miss Zhou walked over and said, “I understand what you were trying to do. But before you can break the rules, you have to master them. The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board stands for the ground, and the rounded top board the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the peace between people and nature.
“But guqin is so quiet,” continued Miss Zhou, “so it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions first and then connect them with modern life. So, think hard — how will you change your piece?”
That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern feel?” he wondered.
Then, he had an idea…
1.How did Kai’s classmates like the band’s performance?
A.They thought it was traditional. B.They enjoyed it and got excited.
C.They found it slow but cheerful. D.They were interested in the drums.
2.What does the underlined word “they” refer to in Paragraph 6?
A.The band. B.Kai’s classmates.
C.The drummers. D.Mr Li and Miss Zhou.
3.What can we learn about guqin from Miss Zhou’s words?
A.It has nothing to do with the ground and the sky.
B.It had better be played loudly to be heard clearly.
C.It sounds best when it is played with another guqin.
D.It connects people with nature and has deep meaning.
4.What might Kai do differently in his next show?
A.Give up the guqin and play the drums instead.
B.Play a pop song on the guqin in a traditional way.
C.Play the guqin much harder and faster than before.
D.Invite his music teachers to play the guqin together.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.D 4.B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Kai试图用摇滚乐队的方式来演奏古琴,以使其“现代化”。虽然同学们很喜欢这种热闹的表演,但老师们认为这掩盖了古琴的声音,没有展现出古琴作为传统乐器的精髓——宁静与自然的连接。在老师的建议下,Kai决定重新思考,试图在下一次表演中寻找传统精神与现代感的平衡。
1.根据文章第一段“Kai’s classmates jumped up and cheered.”可知,同学们对乐队的表演反应非常热烈,他们很享受这场表演并感到很兴奋。
2.根据文章第五段“Kai asked for another chance and they finally agreed.”结合上文,Kai是在向老师们展示表演并受到批评后提出的请求,因此同意给他机会的是这两位老师。
3.根据文章倒数第三段Miss Zhou的话“The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board stands for the ground, and the rounded top board the sky... shows the peace between people and nature.”可知,古琴蕴含着深刻的寓意,它连接着人与自然。
4.根据文章最后一段Kai的思考“How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern feel?”以及倒数第三段老师建议“keep the value of traditions first and then connect them with modern life”,推测Kai可能会尝试用传统的方式去演绎现代的音乐,或者在保留古琴韵味的基础上进行创新,而不是单纯地大声或放弃古琴。选项B最符合这种“平衡”的思路。

(2026·山东潍坊·一模)Canadian violinist Adrian Anantawan is changing the music industry for the better.
Anantawan was born without his right hand and most of his forearm, but he didn’t let that stop him from enjoying music. The violin was his instrument of choice. When he was 10, his family asked engineers to build a customized device to help him play the violin. “From the very first note that I played, I loved it. I decided to learn it,” he said.
Anantawan has spent lots of time learning and playing the violin and now he is a great violinist. He has performed at the White House, the Vancouver and Athens Olympics (雅典奥运会), and many other important events.
Anantawan has also turned his attention to voluntary work. He wants to make music more accessible. In Toronto, he helped start the Virtual Chamber Music Initiative at the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital — where he was first fitted with his own instrument as a child. The project brings together researchers, musicians, doctors, and educators to create musical instruments for young people with disabilities.
Anantawan’s work is clearly more than an interest. He considers it a welcome responsibility. “My duty and job is to use this platform to show others what a person with a disability can do,” he said. “I hope someone can be moved or encouraged by my story and work to make a change in their lives. A lot of times, we let fear get in the way of trying anything. For me, my story has always been a result of just trying something, being OK with failure, and then just seeing what the results are. In my case, it’s really just beautiful, expressive music.”

A.Anantawan was born without his right arm.

(2026·重庆·一模)Greeted with lively folk songs and homemade rice wine by locals in traditional clothes, 19 Belgian (比利时的) professors and students felt the warmth of Chongqing and were deeply interested in the colorful culture of the Tujia people.
“People and nature as well as the cultural environment here are amazing,” said Francois Serneels, the leader of the tour group. Serneels first came to China in 1999. About 15 years ago, he visited Hewan Village, which lies in the mountainous Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County (酉阳土家族苗族自治县). And as he recalls, he has returned to this village about five times. Having seen the great changes that have taken place in this Tujia village over the years, Serneels said, “What truly touches me is how both the government and locals are working to protect their traditions. That’s why I bring students here.” During their visit, the students and professors hiked foggy hills to admire the village’s natural beauty. They also learned about the local farming traditions, getting hands-on farming experience while involved in an in-depth cultural exchange.
Besides the beautiful views, the special way the Tujia buildings were built caught the foreign visitors’ eyes. Bai Kaigui, 76, a master builder of this style, first showed a traditional way of building called mortise-and-tenon (榫卯) that uses only wooden joints. He then explained that the buildings are raised above the ground on wood. This building style reduces contact with the ground, which is very important to keep the wood dry and protects the wooden house in the area’s special climate. “It’s unbelievable to see this way of building houses without using nails,” said a student, Constantin Goffard. He thought that this tradition must be kept because it was a special way of building with old engineering wisdom behind it.
In the end, Serneels expressed his hope that more young Europeans would visit China for real dialogues and the discovery of the country’s stories. He believes that seeing the country with their own eyes is the best way to truly understand its culture and people.
1.Why does Serneels bring students to Hewan Village?
A.Because he wants them to help the locals with farming work.
B.Because he was touched by the efforts to protect traditions there.
C.Because he plans to teach them how to build houses.
D.Because he wants them to admire the village’s natural beauty.
2.According to the passage, which picture shows the Tujia building?

v. (通过电话或写电子邮件等) 联系
A.For more information, contact the city’s tourism office.
B.Have you kept in contact with any of your friends from college?
C.I don’t really know how she got the job, but I think her mother has contacts.
D.Don’t let that glue come into contact with your skin.
4.What can we infer from the text?
A.The Belgian group was deeply interested in Tujia culture.
B.The locals decided to build more traditional houses for tourists.
C.Serneels values real-life experience over book learning.
D.Constantin Goffard had seen many similar buildings before.

(2026·河北石家庄·三模)Mike was an exchange student from Britain. He was invited to have dinner at his Chinese friend Joe’s home. ▲
In China, it’s common for everyone to share dishes from the same plate. But in Britain, people usually have their own servings.

Also, in China, it’s important not to eat too fast or too much at once, but in Britain, the way of eating can be different. Mike ate quite quickly, which made Joe notice the difference.
When they enjoyed their meal, Joe noticed Mike’s confusion (困惑) and explained Chinese table manners to him, and Mike, in return, shared the usual practices in Britain.

(2026·北京房山·一模)Alice and I were both in the school writing club. We weren’t exactly friends, just two people who happened to share the same hobby. We sat on opposite sides of the room and wrote our own stories. Then there was a writing competition at school. The winner would get his or her story published in the local newspaper. We both wanted that.
Suddenly, we were rivals (竞争对手). I’d been working on a story about a girl who discovered an old camera in her attic (阁楼), a camera that could take photos of the past. I heard that Alice was writing something about time too. That made me worried. What if our stories ended up being too similar? But I wasn’t about to change my idea. It was mine, and I believed in it. I pushed the thought away and kept writing.
Finally, we handed in our stories without a word. The next morning, our teacher called us over. “I read both of your stories,” she said. “Alice, your characters feel real, like people I might know.” She looked at me, “As for yours, your time-travel idea is really creative.” She stopped for a while, “Have you thought about working together?”
We glanced (瞥) at each other, unsure. But that afternoon, we talked. I told her about the magic camera. She described her main character, a girl who missed her grandmother terribly. And then it clicked. What if the camera let that girl see her grandmother one last time? Her character and my idea fit together like puzzle pieces.
We spent the next three days writing side by side. When we finally finished, the story was better than anything either of us could have written alone. It was chosen for the competition. A few weeks later, we found out it won first prize.

(2026·重庆九龙坡·二模)“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you step into his shoes and walk around in them.”
I asked Atticus if he was going to win the case.
“No, honey,” he said.
“Then why?”
“Simply because we were licked (鞭打) a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win,” he said. “In our courts (法院), when it’s a white man’s words against a black man’s, the white man always wins. They’re ugly, but those are the facts of life.”
“But why try, then?”
“Because,” he said, “there’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads — they can’t think clearly. They’re afraid, and when they’re afraid, they fight against each other. But you, Scout, you’re not afraid of people. You don’t judge them before you know them. That’s what makes you different.”
He stopped, looking out of the window.
“I’m going to defend (为……辩护) Tom Robinson. He’s an innocent (无辜的) man. And if I don’t, I couldn’t hold up my head in town. I couldn’t even tell you not to do something again.”
“But if you lose, won’t people hate you?”
“They might. But I’d rather be hated for doing what’s right than loved for doing nothing. You see, when you’re young, you think courage is about fighting. But real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.”
I didn’t say anything. I just sat there, thinking.
“And Scout,” he added softly, “if you ever get into trouble—and you will—remember this: the truth doesn’t always win, but it’s always worth telling.”
1.What can we infer about Atticus’s job from the passage?
A.A lawyer. B.A teacher. C.A policeman. D.A judge.
2.Why does Atticus say “we were licked a hundred years before we started”?
A.To show that he has already lost the case before it even begins.
B.To explain the unfairness that makes success nearly impossible.
C.To warn Scout that fighting against unfairness is actually useless.
D.To express his agreement to the way how laws work in his country.
3.What is the correct order of Atticus’ key points when talking to Scout?
① True courage is trying your best even if you know you will lose.
② Scout is a different person who doesn’t judge others easily.
③ He must defend Tom Robinson to keep his self-respect.
④ The truth is always worth telling, even if it doesn’t win.
A.②→③→①→④B.③→②→①→④ C.②→①→③→④ D.①→②→③→④
4.Which student’s understanding of Atticus’ words is the most proper?
A.Lily: We should avoid arguments to keep people from hating us.
B.Mike: We should only fight for things that we are sure to win.
C.Emma: Doing what is right matters more than winning itself.
D.Ben: Courage means using physical power to stand up for others.
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.A 4.C

That’s what makes you different.”;③对应第9段“ I’m going to defend Tom Robinson.”;①对应第11段“But real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.”;④对应最后一段“…remember this: the truth doesn’t always win, but it’s always worth telling”。

In 2016, Cai was chosen to train in winter sports. As a boy from the south, he was not used to the cold weather at first. His face and ears often got hurt by the cold, but he kept practicing hard. He trained more than 330 days a year, spending 6 to 8 hours each day on the snow.

While reading an art magazine recently, I learned about Su Hanchen. This Song Dynasty painter was good at drawing children. One of his best-known paintings is Children at Play in an Autumnal Garden (《秋庭戏婴图》). The boy and the girl in the painting completely are caught up in their game. Although centuries had passed, I could almost hear their laughter.
Looking at the two kids, I thought of my own childhood. That was almost thirty years ago. Computers and smartphones hadn’t yet entered people’s lives. Some kids liked watching TV, and some had a lot of fun playing outdoors. Girls loved to skip rubber bands. We boys were crazy about electric model cars. We raced against each other to see whose car ran the fastest.
How do you usually play? Why not play some more off-screen games? To start with, you can ask your parents to teach you some of their childhood games. It’s a simple way to connect with your family and discover more fun.
Playing these games is a wonderful way to share laughs and learn more about the past. What’s more, these old games often don’t need phones or computers, so they help you move around and use your creativity. And the best part is that once you learn them, you can teach these cool games to your own friends. In this way, you can keep the fun going.
1.What does the underlined part “are caught up in” mean?
A.Be lost in. B.Be surprised at. C.Be thankful to.

(2025·山东济南·中考真题)When I was a kid, my two brothers and I would stay with Grandparents for a week during summer vacation. We always looked forward to spending every moment with them, especially Grandpa, the “hero” in our eyes.
Grandpa became blind when he was 20 years old, but it never slowed down the strong-willed (坚强的) man. He worked in a shop every day. Customers would give him money, and he would return the right change and give them exactly what they wanted. He had many friends who visited the shop just to talk to him, and at that time, I helped to hand customers their drinks and snacks. This made me feel grown-up.
He also cooked lunch and washed dishes while Grandma worked. As a boy, I would watch him move around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was so surprised about how he moved from cooking to washing the dishes, never making a mistake.
It seemed like every time I stayed with him, we would visit someone in the evening who was weak or very sick. Although he can’t see things, he never let it stop him from working and being kind to others. His love for people never ended.
During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that I still treasure today. They take me back to those days and remind me how special he was. I miss every moment I stayed with him. To this day, I still dislike hearing someone say, “I can’t do that,” because I knew a blind man who never said those words.

(2025·黑龙江大庆·中考真题)This summer, the students in our class were required to give a presentation (演示活动) on traditional Chinese culture in English. As a girl who is very interested in Chinese tea culture, I immediately suggested it as the topic for my group. My team members reached an agreement because we considered this topic easy to win the competition and I was chosen as the group leader.
When I was told that the best team in my grade would have the chance to act at our school’s Foreign Language Festival, the strong wish to shine at the festival pushed me to work harder. To improve the quality of the presentation, I added some special art forms. Also, as the leader of the whole team, I had to plan everything and, as instructed, keep it to five minutes. I did what I could to organize our presentation.
While I was preparing for the presentation, I learned much more about Chinese tea culture. I came to realise that my understanding of it was not enough. “Tea culture, with its special magic and long history, lights the way for us modern people to return to nature and find inner (内心的) peace.”
As the presentation ended, I found that it was the magic of tea culture, not the presentation itself, that truly attracted me. Through this event, I understood that Chinese tea culture is more than a topic, but a symbol of the ancient stories waiting for us to further explore. By exploring the tradition, I ended up finding a sense of inner peace.

A.Teamwork. B.Presentation skills. C.Chinese tea culture. D.Ancient stories.

(2025·广东广州·中考真题)It was going to be a long afternoon. Aunt Jen and Uncle Pete were visiting, which meant I had to play with Amy.
I was mixing salt with mud (泥) in the garden. Amy was dancing around like a butterfly. Maybe she could help prepare food for the butterflies.
“Okay, Amy,” I said. “You can help spread this salt on the mud.”
She took the salt shaker. “Are you growing butterflies like plants, Simon?”
“Questions again!” I shook my head. This little girl had a lot to learn—just like me at her age, when my family started planting this butterfly garden. “Some butterflies need salt to stay healthy,” I explained. “Once, a butterfly sat right here on my arm, tasting my salty sweat.”
“I want a butterfly to sit on me!” cried Amy. “I want to wear it like a flower!”
“Butterflies don’t grow like flowers,” I said. “They fly wherever they like.”
“Aww...make them come to me,” Amy said.
“They will. They love our garden’s plants, with nice leaves and juice, and this...” I said, pointing to the salty mud.
“I don’t like mud,” Amy said. “See, my new pink shoes are muddy—and pink’s my favorite color!”
I tried to distract her attention. “Do you know butterflies have favorite colors, too?”
“Pink?” Amy asked, starting to smile again.
“They like purple better, and orange,” I explained, pointing to the nearby butterfly weed with dark orange flowers. “Look, a butterfly is drinking the juice of the flowers.”
I kept talking so she wouldn’t try to catch it. “Butterfly weed is a perfect host plant. Butterflies lay eggs here, which become caterpillars, then chrysalises, and finally beautiful butterflies...”
As I spoke, Amy saw a big bee. “Shoo! No bees allowed!” she cried.
“Hey, it’s okay. Butterflies and bees both work for flowers,” I told her.
“Butterflies work?” she asked.
“Yes, listen...”
We stayed in the garden until sunset. Then I smelt bread and suggested, “Let’s rest in the hammock.”
As we lay together, Amy noticed a butterfly leaving a flower and cried, “Simon, it’s like a flying flower!”
That made me smile. We swung gently back and forth, happy just to watch all the flowers—the ones that fly and those that don’t—until Mom called us in to dinner.
1.Why did Simon mix the salt with the mud?
A.To play games with Amy. B.To prepare food for butterflies.

(2026·山东泰安·一模).
When I was a kid, I loved climbing tall trees to enjoy the view from up high. I grew up in Florida, a flat place, so I couldn’t climb high things often. But in high school, I fell in love with climbing again. Now I really can’t live without this hobby.
At first, I was impatient. I tried to climb the wall as fast as I could and made quick decisions. But I soon got very tired. Then I knew I had to change my way. Now, before climbing, I think about the path in my mind and feel for holds with my hands. It’s like playing chess—planning moves step by step. When I have difficulty, I ask experienced climbers for help. I learn new skills and make new friends. Being in the climbing club also helps me become more social.
One great thing about climbing is that there is no single right way. There are always new challenges. My partners say I choose unusual ways, but they feel easy and comfortable to me.
I love climbing so much that I often lose track of time and climb for hours. I only care about reaching the top and forget all my worries. Even when my friends are tired and want to stop, I still want to try one more time.
Climbing teaches me patience, teamwork, and determination. I no longer say “I can’t.” I face difficulties with confidence. If one way doesn’t work, I try another. I’m not afraid to make decisions. Climbing makes my body and mind strong, and I learn how to solve problems better.

(2026·辽宁沈阳·一模)“Click, click…” The drummer (鼓手) gave the beat, and the band started to play. Kai played the guqin along with the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped up and cheered. When the music ended, there was a strange silence. They all looked at the teachers.
Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?”
Kai said in a low voice, “I wanted to do something different…to modernize (使现代化) the guqin’s sound.”
“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li.
“We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.”
Kai asked for another chance and they finally agreed.
Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. Miss Zhou walked over and said, “I understand what you were trying to do. But before you can break the rules, you have to master them. The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board stands for the ground, and the rounded top board the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the peace between people and nature.
“But guqin is so quiet,” continued Miss Zhou, “so it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions first and then connect them with modern life. So, think hard — how will you change your piece?”
That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern feel?” he wondered.
Then, he had an idea…

A.It has nothing to do with the ground and the sky.
B.It had better be played loudly to be heard clearly.

D.It connects people with nature and has deep meaning.
4.What might Kai do differently in his next show?

(2026·山东潍坊·一模)Canadian violinist Adrian Anantawan is changing the music industry for the better.
Anantawan was born without his right hand and most of his forearm, but he didn’t let that stop him from enjoying music. The violin was his instrument of choice. When he was 10, his family asked engineers to build a customized device to help him play the violin. “From the very first note that I played, I loved it. I decided to learn it,” he said.
Anantawan has spent lots of time learning and playing the violin and now he is a great violinist. He has performed at the White House, the Vancouver and Athens Olympics (雅典奥运会), and many other important events.
Anantawan has also turned his attention to voluntary work. He wants to make music more accessible. In Toronto, he helped start the Virtual Chamber Music Initiative at the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital — where he was first fitted with his own instrument as a child. The project brings together researchers, musicians, doctors, and educators to create musical instruments for young people with disabilities.
Anantawan’s work is clearly more than an interest. He considers it a welcome responsibility. “My duty and job is to use this platform to show others what a person with a disability can do,” he said. “I hope someone can be moved or encouraged by my story and work to make a change in their lives. A lot of times, we let fear get in the way of trying anything. For me, my story has always been a result of just trying something, being OK with failure, and then just seeing what the results are. In my case, it’s really just beautiful, expressive music.”

(2026·重庆·一模)Greeted with lively folk songs and homemade rice wine by locals in traditional clothes, 19 Belgian (比利时的) professors and students felt the warmth of Chongqing and were deeply interested in the colorful culture of the Tujia people.
“People and nature as well as the cultural environment here are amazing,” said Francois Serneels, the leader of the tour group. Serneels first came to China in 1999. About 15 years ago, he visited Hewan Village, which lies in the mountainous Youyang Tujia and Miao Autonomous County (酉阳土家族苗族自治县). And as he recalls, he has returned to this village about five times. Having seen the great changes that have taken place in this Tujia village over the years, Serneels said, “What truly touches me is how both the government and locals are working to protect their traditions. That’s why I bring students here.” During their visit, the students and professors hiked foggy hills to admire the village’s natural beauty. They also learned about the local farming traditions, getting hands-on farming experience while involved in an in-depth cultural exchange.
Besides the beautiful views, the special way the Tujia buildings were built caught the foreign visitors’ eyes. Bai Kaigui, 76, a master builder of this style, first showed a traditional way of building called mortise-and-tenon (榫卯) that uses only wooden joints. He then explained that the buildings are raised above the ground on wood. This building style reduces contact with the ground, which is very important to keep the wood dry and protects the wooden house in the area’s special climate. “It’s unbelievable to see this way of building houses without using nails,” said a student, Constantin Goffard. He thought that this tradition must be kept because it was a special way of building with old engineering wisdom behind it.
In the end, Serneels expressed his hope that more young Europeans would visit China for real dialogues and the discovery of the country’s stories. He believes that seeing the country with their own eyes is the best way to truly understand its culture and people.
1.Why does Serneels bring students to Hewan Village?
A.Because he wants them to help the locals with farming work.
B.Because he was touched by the efforts to protect traditions there.
C.Because he plans to teach them how to build houses.
D.Because he wants them to admire the village’s natural beauty.
2.According to the passage, which picture shows the Tujia building?
A. B. C. D.
3.Which sentence uses “contact” with the same meaning as the underlined word?
contact /’kɒntækt/ n. ①接触 ②联系,联络 ③ (社会) 关系
v. (通过电话或写电子邮件等) 联系
A.For more information, contact the city’s tourism office.
B.Have you kept in contact with any of your friends from college?
C.I don’t really know how she got the job, but I think her mother has contacts.
D.Don’t let that glue come into contact with your skin.
4.What can we infer from the text?
A.The Belgian group was deeply interested in Tujia culture.

D.Constantin Goffard had seen many similar buildings before.
(2026·河北石家庄·三模)Mike was an exchange student from Britain. He was invited to have dinner at his Chinese friend Joe’s home. ▲
In China, it’s common for everyone to share dishes from the same plate. But in Britain, people usually have their own servings.
The eating tools are also different. In China, chopsticks are mainly used, but in Britain, knives and forks are common. Seeing Mike having trouble with his chopsticks, Joe patiently taught him how to use them. He also started serving Mike food, which is a sign of being polite and friendly in China, but not common in Britain.
During the dinner, Mike rested his elbows (肘) on the table while eating. But Joe told him it’s not proper to do so in China. While in Britain, it might not be such a strict rule. Also, in China, it’s important not to eat too fast or too much at once, but in Britain, the way of eating can be different. Mike ate quite quickly, which made Joe notice the difference.
When they enjoyed their meal, Joe noticed Mike’s confusion (困惑) and explained Chinese table manners to him, and Mike, in return, shared the usual practices in Britain.
Through dinner, they realized that although there are differences in table manners, the most important thing is to respect and understand each other’s customs and cultures.

(2026·北京房山·一模)Alice and I were both in the school writing club. We weren’t exactly friends, just two people who happened to share the same hobby. We sat on opposite sides of the room and wrote our own stories. Then there was a writing competition at school. The winner would get his or her story published in the local newspaper. We both wanted that.
Suddenly, we were rivals (竞争对手). I’d been working on a story about a girl who discovered an old camera in her attic (阁楼), a camera that could take photos of the past. I heard that Alice was writing something about time too. That made me worried. What if our stories ended up being too similar? But I wasn’t about to change my idea. It was mine, and I believed in it. I pushed the thought away and kept writing.
Finally, we handed in our stories without a word.

We glanced (瞥) at each other, unsure. But that afternoon, we talked. I told her about the magic camera. She described her main character, a girl who missed her grandmother terribly. And then it clicked. What if the camera let that girl see her grandmother one last time? Her character and my idea fit together like puzzle pieces.

(2026·重庆九龙坡·二模)“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view…until you step into his shoes and walk around in them.”
I asked Atticus if he was going to win the case.
“No, honey,” he said.
“Then why?”
“Simply because we were licked (鞭打) a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win,” he said. “In our courts (法院), when it’s a white man’s words against a black man’s, the white man always wins. They’re ugly, but those are the facts of life.”
“But why try, then?”
“Because,” he said, “there’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads — they can’t think clearly. They’re afraid, and when they’re afraid, they fight against each other. But you, Scout, you’re not afraid of people. You don’t judge them before you know them. That’s what makes you different.”
He stopped, looking out of the window.
“I’m going to defend (为……辩护) Tom Robinson. He’s an innocent (无辜的) man. And if I don’t, I couldn’t hold up my head in town. I couldn’t even tell you not to do something again.”
“But if you lose, won’t people hate you?”
“They might. But I’d rather be hated for doing what’s right than loved for doing nothing. You see, when you’re young, you think courage is about fighting. But real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.”
I didn’t say anything. I just sat there, thinking.
“And Scout,” he added softly, “if you ever get into trouble—and you will—remember this: the truth doesn’t always win, but it’s always worth telling.”

A.A lawyer. B.A teacher. C.A policeman. D.A judge.
2.Why does Atticus say “we were licked a hundred years before we started”?

B.To explain the unfairness that makes success nearly impossible.
C.To warn Scout that fighting against unfairness is actually useless.
D.To express his agreement to the way how laws work in his country.
3.What is the correct order of Atticus’ key points when talking to Scout?
① True courage is trying your best even if you know you will lose.
② Scout is a different person who doesn’t judge others easily.
③ He must defend Tom Robinson to keep his self-respect.
④ The truth is always worth telling, even if it doesn’t win.
A.②→③→①→④B.③→②→①→④ C.②→①→③→④ D.①→②→③→④

C.Emma: Doing what is right matters more than winning itself.
D.Ben: Courage means using physical power to stand up for others.

While reading an art magazine recently, I learned about Su Hanchen. This Song Dynasty painter was good at drawing children. One of his best-known paintings is Children at Play in an Autumnal Garden (《秋庭戏婴图》). The boy and the girl in the painting completely are caught up in their game. Although centuries had passed, I could almost hear their laughter.
Looking at the two kids, I thought of my own childhood. That was almost thirty years ago. Computers and smartphones hadn’t yet entered people’s lives. Some kids liked watching TV, and some had a lot of fun playing outdoors. Girls loved to skip rubber bands. We boys were crazy about electric model cars. We raced against each other to see whose car ran the fastest.
How do you usually play? Why not play some more off-screen games? To start with, you can ask your parents to teach you some of their childhood games. It’s a simple way to connect with your family and discover more fun.
Playing these games is a wonderful way to share laughs and learn more about the past. What’s more, these old games often don’t need phones or computers, so they help you move around and use your creativity. And the best part is that once you learn them, you can teach these cool games to your own friends. In this way, you can keep the fun going.

(2026·江西萍乡·一模)Have you ever heard of Jiangxi Opera? It has a history of several hundred years. In 2005, the Jiangxi Opera Art Center was set up at Nanchang University for this local opera. From then on, a course named Appreciation of the Jiangxi Opera (赣剧鉴赏) has been taught at Nanchang University in Jiangxi Province. Chen Li, the teacher, shows how great Jiangxi Opera is by wearing traditional makeup (妆容) and costumes, and doing moves like waving water sleeves (甩水袖) and spinning (旋转) folding fans.
“Before, I used to give students speeches about Jiangxi Opera without performing. So in the classroom, you might find students who weren’t interested in them slept in my class or even played on their phones in class,” said Chen.
To make her class more interesting, Chen decided to wear costumes and turn the course into a stage to perform. This made students more interested in Jiangxi Opera.
Recently, many of the students have recorded the performances and posted the videos of the course on the Internet. They have caught tons of attention and many people like them. Now, Chen’s class is always full of students.
Ms. Chen didn’t expect to be so successful.
