For a long time, people thought daylight tells animals when to rise or rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this idea with a mimosa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves folded up at night. But when he placed it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still opened and closed at the usual times, as if it still knew when it was day or night. He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night. This clock is called the circadian rhythm. Daily cycles tell our bodies when to sleep, eat, and grow. They even help animals know when to move or rest for the season. These clocks help living things stay in line with the sun’s light. Every cell (细胞) in our body has its own tiny clock, but the brain has a master clock that keeps them working together. Like the mimosa plant, our clock counts time in darkness, but it also reacts to light. Humans have special light sensors (传感器) at the back of the eyes. These cells tell the brain when it’s bright or getting dark. The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” signals to all your cells. This process helps reset our body’s clock. That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel tired at the wrong times. Your body’s clock gets out of line with the local time, but soon, sunlight and darkness help reset it. So, don’t worry about missing your watch—your natural clock runs on sun time. 6．What did the French scientist’s experiment with the mimosa plant in 1729 show? A．Plants can only fold their leaves in sunlight. B．Plants need darkness to grow properly. C．Living things have a built-in clock. D．Animals and plants have the same daily cycles. 7．According to Paragraph 4, what role does the brain play in our body’s time system? A．It creates light for the eyes to see. B．It acts as a main controller of our body clocks. C．It helps animals decide when to move for the season. D．It tells each cell to build its own tiny clock. 8．The underlined words “This process” in the last paragraph refer to ______. A．traveling to a different country B．the master clock sending signals C．feeling tired during the day D．plants folding their leaves 9．According to the text, why do people feel tired after flying to a different country? A．The flight itself is usually very long and tiring. B．The food in a different country is unsuitable. C．Their body clock is not matched with the local time. D．The new environment easily affects their eyes. 10．What is the main idea of this text? A．The mimosa plant was a key discovery in science. B．Humans need sunlight to stay healthy and awake. C．Every living thing has a natural clock guided by the sun. D．Traveling to different places can make people feel tired. Passage 3 （2026·福建三明·一模） Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat your fill of these delicious berries, take a good look at them. Then ask yourself, are blueberries really blue? For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry, you’ll see that the fruit inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red lights. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. The second way to make color is through “structural color” (结构色). This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers. These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. Blueberries also create structural color in their own way. The berries look black when they’ re ripe (成熟的), but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds far and wide. Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 11．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By listing facts. C．By telling a story. D．By asking questions. 12．According to the article, after you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, it almost looks ________. A．blue B．white C．reddish-purple D．black 13．Which of the following pictures correctly shows why a leaf looks green to us? A．B． C． D． 14．According to the text, blueberries appear blue because of ________. A．a layer of wax on their outside B．a special blue pigment C．a special chemical in their flesh D．a shortage of chlorophyll on their leaves 15．What benefit does the blue color of blueberries provide to the plant? A．It protects the plant from insects. B．It makes the fruit stand out in the market. C．It attracts birds to help spread the seeds. D．It helps the plant survive on a warming planet. Passage 4 （2026·福建泉州·石狮一模） As night falls in Shenzhen, the lampposts in Futian Mangrove Ecological Park glow (发光) softly. But they are not just simple lampposts—they are the homes of great tits. This unlikely change began in the spring of 2020. Back then park worker Rong Canzhong noticed a smart great tit carrying dry grass into a lamppost. His team later found nests (鸟巢) in 14 lampposts. “Great tits can’t build their own nests,” Rong explained. “These birds usually live in holes left by woodpeckers or in natural tree holes. But trees in the city can’t offer natural holes, so the smart birds turn to the lampposts.” However, building their homes in these lampposts is risky, as nests could collapse (坍塌) at any time, while the electrical systems might be affected. Rather than driving away the feathered residents, Rong’s team started a project to design new lampposts—with both light and life in mind. After years of hard work, the team finally finished their bird-friendly lamppost project: The special warm light bulbs were chosen to avoid disrupting the birds; the new lampposts were set according to the places where they used to build their nests; hidden cameras were used to collect data for future studies... The park now hosts 100 “bird nest lampposts”, and according to Rong, 75 nests have successfully raised new life. These “bird nest lampposts” represent more than just local innovation (创新)—they form part of Shenzhen’s wider vision of becoming an important center on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. From October to February, hundreds of migratory (迁徙的) birds rest in Shenzhen Bay. During this period, most parks in Shenzhen turn off their lights after 11 p.m., ensuring the good sleep of the birds. Progress has been significant—by March this year, Shenzhen had become home to 429 bird species, including 15 protected species. 16．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The location of the lamppost. B．The time great tits build nests. C．The home of great tits in the park. D．The number of lampposts in the park. 17．Why do great tits choose to build nests in lampposts? A．Park workers make them live there. B．Natural tree holes are hard to find in cities. C．Lampposts can protect them from enemies. D．The warm light from lampposts attracts them. 18．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Fool. B．Disturb. C．Protect. D．Influence. 19．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The number of new nests in the park. B．The difficulties of designing new lampposts. C．The reasons for great tits needing protected nests. D．The team’s measures for bird-friendly lampposts. 20．How does the author show us the effect of the bird-friendly lamppost project? A．By listing the numbers. B．By telling personal stories. C．By introducing historical reports. D．By comparing different nesting places. Passage 5 （2026·福建三明·永安一模）What if you could help the environment just by planting a small forest in your neighborhood? That’s the idea behind “micro-forests”—small, thickly planted forests that grow much faster than regular ones. The idea was developed by a Japanese botanist (植物学家) in the 1970s. The method is simple but special: first, prepare the soil deeply. Then, plant many different kinds of native trees and bushes very close together—about three to five plants per square meter. Finally, cover the ground with a thick layer (层) of straw or wood pieces to keep water in and stop weeds (杂草) from growing. Because the plants are so close, they compete for sunlight and grow quickly—up to ten times faster than trees in a normal forest. A micro-forest can become a small wildlife habitat (栖息地) in just 20 to 30 years, while a natural forest would take at least 100 years. Micro-forests have many benefits (益处). They cool down the city by providing shade and releasing water vapor. They absorb rainwater and help prevent floods. They provide food and shelter for birds, insects, and small animals. They also make people feel happier and less stressed. In recent years, micro-forests have appeared in many cities around the world. In Singapore, more than 200 micro-forests have been planted. In Europe, communities come together to plant “pocket forests” in empty lots or schoolyards. In China, some cities like Shenzhen and Chengdu have started similar projects. Of course, micro-forests also face challenges (挑战). They need careful maintenance (保养) in the first two or three years, especially watering during dry periods. And not every piece of land is suitable—the soil may be too poor or too hard. Still, many experts believe micro-forests are a simple, low-cost way to bring nature back into cities. As one ecologist (生态学家) said, “You don’t need a big forest to make a big difference. Sometimes, a small patch of green is enough to start a change.” 21．Who first developed the idea of micro-forests? A．A Chinese scientist. B．A Japanese botanist. C．A Singaporean officer. D．A European ecologist. 22．Why do trees in micro-forests grow faster? A．They are given special fertilizer (肥料). B．They are watered every day. C．They are planted very close together. D．They are grown in greenhouses. 23．What is one benefit of micro-forests according to the passage? A．They produce more oxygen than large forests. B．They don’t need any care. C．They can be planted anywhere. D．They help cool down the city. 24．What challenge do micro-forests face? A．They take too long to grow. B．They attract too many animals. C．They are too expensive to build. D．They need careful care in the first few years. 25．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To introduce the idea of micro-forests and their value. B．To teach people how to plant trees. C．To compare micro-forests with natural forests. D．To ask people to plant more trees. Passage 6 （2026·福建泉州·丰泽一模）Many people hold the view that talking to plants helps them grow. Do you believe so? Many plant lovers certainly do. Interestingly, scientists have found that there might be some truth in this idea. Researchers have discovered that plants make sounds when they are stressed. Those are similar to a human cry or shout. The scientists believe the sounds are special enough for us to interpret them and to meet their needs. Unfortunately, plant sounds are at too high a frequency (频率) for the human ear to pick up. Humans can only hear frequencies up to 16 kHz (千赫兹). In 2025, scientists recorded that stressed plants gave out ultrasonic sounds (超声波) at a frequency of 120 kHz when the stress level was proper. The scientists used special AI methods to discover that plants can make ultrasonic sounds up to 250 kHz. However, when the stress level was too high, the plants’ ability to make sounds began to drop as their stress level rose. The research was carried out in an acoustic chamber (隔音房) inside a greenhouse at Israel’s Tel Aviv University. Scientists have discovered that stressed plants produce shakes and the plants turn them into sound waves. Lead researcher Professor Lilach Hadany said: “Plants usually make sounds when they are under stress. Each plant and each type of stress is connected with a special recognizable sound.” She suggested that fields of crops could be quite noisy, adding: “While unheard by the human ear, the sounds made by plants can be heard by bats, mice, and insects.” Interpreting these sounds could help us understand when crops are thirsty. Farmers could water their crops more efficiently, and in this way, they can save water. 26．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By raising a question. C．By explaining a reason. D．By making a comparison. 27．What does the underlined word “Those” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Sounds. B．Plants. C．Researchers. D．Truths. 28．Which picture shows the relationship between plant sounds and stress levels? A． B． C． D． 29．What can you infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5? A．Human’s hearing is no worse than insects’. B．Plants can communicate with animals by making sounds. C．Humans can hear the sounds as long as they listen carefully. D．Some animals can hear higher-frequency sounds than humans. 30．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Farmers have found new ways to save water. B．Talking to plants can help them grow better. C．Plants make special sounds when under stress. D．High frequencies are hard for humans to hear. Passage 7 （2026·福建漳州·一模） Can humans’ behavior influence horses? If so, how are horses affected by humans? A new study has found that horses can smell fear in humans’ sweat (汗水) and that it causes them to feel the same emotion. In the study, 30 people were asked to watch videos of happy scenes while cotton pads (棉垫) under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a scary film. The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups. The animals wore muzzles (嘴套) that fit over their nose and mouth. One group was given a muzzle with a pad of happy sweat in it, one group received a pad from the scared people, and the third group had a clean, untouched pad. The team tried to learn how horses reacted to unexpected events, such as an umbrella being opened suddenly near them. Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more scared and they were more likely to become frightened. “The fearful smells from humans amplify the reactions of horses — they’re more likely to kick or run away,” lead researcher Plotine Jardat told CNN. “The study shows that horses can smell how we feel, even if they can’t hear or see us.” Researchers hope that understanding horses’ emotions better can help people communicate more positively with the animals. Scared horses often perform dangerous behavior, so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans safer around these sensitive creatures. 31．How does the writer begin the writing? A．By giving an example. B．By raising questions. C．By sharing an experience. D．By telling a story. 32．What are the cotton pads used for? A．Collecting people’s sweat. B．Helping horses to remain calm. C．Testing how scared the horse is. D．Making people relax when they ride a horse. 33．What kind of research method was used in the study? A．Keeping diaries. B．Carrying out interviews. C．Collecting numbers. D．Making a comparison. 34．What does the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Receive. B．Increase. C．Explain. D．Mark. 35．What can we learn from the text? A．Humans’ action makes horses angry. B．People should keep away from dangerous horses. C．Horses become frightened when seeing an umbrella. D．Smell from a human body can affect horses’ emotions. Passage 8 （2026·福建泉州·南安一模）Do you ever try to swat (拍打) a fly? Your hand moves super fast. But you still can’t catch it. It feels like the fly has a lot of time to get away. How can that be? Flies see changes in the world about four times faster than we do. To them, your quick swat looks like slow motion in a movie. Imagine they break one second into many small parts. That gives them a better chance to get away. This power is special to smaller and lighter animals. It’s like their life skill. It helps them stay safe from bigger animals. In fact, different animals have very different abilities to sense changes over time. The chart (图表) below shows how many changes different creatures can notice in just one second. Besides seeing changes, animals have other amazing ways to “tell time” in their daily lives. ★ Sea turtles follow the moon. They lay eggs more often near the new moon. The weak moonlight helps hide their eggs from predators (天敌). ★ Dogs smell time. When you are home, your scent (气味) is strong. After you go to school, your scent slowly fades. By smelling how much scent is left, your dog knows when you’re coming back. ★ Frogs feel the temperature. When the weather gets warmer after winter, frogs wake up and start calling for mates. ★ Honey bees count minutes. They remember when flowers open. Then they fly there at just the right time to get pollen (花粉). 36．Why can a fly easily escape when you try to swat it? A．It has a lot of time to get away. B．It can fly in slow motion to escape. C．It is too small and light for people to see. D．It sees changes much faster than humans. 37．Which creature can see the fewest changes in one second from the chart? A． B． C． D． 38．What does the underlined word “fades” probably mean? A．Stay the same. B．Keep fresher. C．Become weaker. D．Smell pleasant. 39．How do frogs “tell time” according to the text? A．By following the moon’s light. B．By feeling changes in temperature. C．By smelling the scent left in the air. D．By remembering flower opening times. 40．In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A．Culture and art. B．Sports and health. C．Travel and fun. D．Science and nature. Passage 9 （2026·福建漳州·一模） An Experiment about How to Get Clean Water What you need : Large cooking pot Drinking glass with a heavy base Plastic food wrap Tape Muddy water Coin What to do : Step 1. Pour about 5 cm of muddy water into the cooking pot. Step 2. Place the drinking glass right side up in the middle of the cooking pot. Step 3. Cover the cooking pot with clear plastic food wrap, stick the wrap with tape, but leave enough slack (松弛度) in the wrap so that it can hang downwards. Step 4. Place the coin in the middle of the plastic food wrap so that the wrap hangs down in the middle, directly over (but not touching) the glass. Step 5. Place the apparatus (装置) in direct sunlight. What to see : After about ten minutes or so, little drops of water begin to appear on the underside of the plastic food wrap. They go down the plastic wrap slowly and fall into the glass. The water in the glass is now clean and the mud is left at the bottom of the cooking pot. How it works : This activity uses the energy in sunlight to turn muddy water into drinking water. Now you can drink clear, clean water if you are thirsty. 41．What do you need in Step 2 of the experiment? ①a large cooking pot        ②a coin ③a drinking glass        ④plastic food wrap A．①② B．③④ C．①③ D．②④ 42．Which picture matches Step 4 in the experiment?

D．On the surface of the plastic wrap. 45．Where can you most possibly use the apparatus? A．In the wild with no clean water. B．In the classroom at school. C．In the kitchen of a restaurant. D．In a desert with no water. Passage 10 （2026·福建泉州·石狮一模）New research shows the brain has the ability to function well in old age. The secret? Keep learning. “Learning is the method for development no matter how old you are,” said Rachel Wu, a professor of psychology at the University of California Riverside and the author of research. Wu’s study took an ambitious approach (目标宏大的方案): have seniors in their 60s, 70s and 80s involve themselves in a college-like atmosphere, taking three courses at the same time. They took part in at least 15 hours of class a week and also did homework, over three months. Classes included Spanish language, music composition, painting, and instruction on using an iPad. After six weeks, the participants’ (参与者的) test scores for thinking and memory were similar to middle-aged adults’—a great improvement over their scores before the study began. That is, their brains functioned more like those of a person 30 years younger. It’s important to note that the study included just 42 participants who were all healthy and were encouraged to learn. Still, outside experts like Dr. Laurie Archbald-Pannone call the findings important and optimistic (乐观的). “Aging is not a disease. It’s part of the normal process of life,” Archbald-Pannone said. “The brain may work differently, but it matters much to keep the brain functioning actively.” One participant, James Ryan, 72, signed up for the study because he was longing to have a sharp mind after retirement. He was not concerned about the Spanish class. The iPad class did not worry him, either, because he’d spent 50 years working with computers. But without much art experience, the drawing classes were frightening. “I thought I would embarrass (使尴尬) myself,” Ryan said. He was wrong. “I found out I can paint! I was surprised,” Ryan said. What’s more, Ryan’s confidence in learning carried on after the study ended. Now when something around the house breaks, he goes on YouTube to figure out how to fix it. That’s something Ryan says he would not have done before. 46．What can we learn from the results of Wu’s study? A．Learning makes old people’s brains work better. B．The older people are, the better their brains will work. C．Old people can learn three foreign languages at the same time. D．Old people can improve their thinking and memory easily in 12 weeks. 47．Which of the following can best describe Wu’s study? A．It was small but meaningful. B．It was traditional but creative. C．It was creative but impractical. D．It was practical but meaningless. 48．What does Dr. Archbald-Pannone think of aging? A．It brings trouble and bad experiences. B．It is a problem that is hard to deal with. C．It can be completely stopped by humans. D．It is a totally natural and changeable process. 49．What can we know about James Ryan? A．He found the iPad class very challenging. B．He had rich art experience before the study. C．He stopped learning new skills after his retirement. D．He became more willing to learn new things after the study. 50．What is the best title for the text? A．Different Courses for Seniors’ Retirement Life B．James Ryan’s Experience in Learning New Skills C．A Study on Middle-Aged Adults’ Learning Ability D．Learning Helps Seniors Keep Brain Functioning Well Passage 11 （2026·福建三明·三元一模）Imagine a city built as a line across the desert. It can run on 100% clean energy and 100% renewable water. That sounds impossible, but it’s becoming a reality. Saudi Arabia is building such a city called The Line. It starts from the mountains of Northwest Saudi Arabia and pushes its way to the Red Sea. With an area of just 34 square kilometers, it can be home to 9 million people. The Line is 500 meters tall, 200 meters wide and 170 kilometers long, with two huge mirror walls standing on its both sides. To put living experiences and natural environment first, The Line is designed to have three layers (层). The top layer has no roads or cars, keeping over 95% of the nature around. Carefully designed environment makes the best balance of sunshine, trees and other natural sights. The middle layer is for services. All of them are operated by AI. Robots and a huge man-made moon make the city a technology paradise (天堂). From shopping malls to sports areas, wherever you go, you will be amazed at how convenient life can be. The lowest layer is the most important part which shows how fast the city runs. The Line’s high-speed railway powered by electricity makes it possible to travel end to end in 20 minutes. The plan started in early 2021 and is expected to finish its first stage in 2030. However, not everyone shows enough confidence in the plan. Environmentalists argue that mirror walls of The Line will bring danger to animals. For example, birds may hit onto the glass or even die when they migrate every spring and autumn. Besides, some commentators (评论员) also question whether the city will be built successfully.  But Tarek Qaddumi, the director of the plan, seems sure, “We hope to get faster, better and greener results, with less environmental influence. It will set a new standard for future city life.” 51．What’s The Line according to the passage? A．A city that will lie under the Red Sea. B．A city that will be built in the shape of a line. C．A city that will have a population of 11 million. D．A city that will have stone walls on the two sides. 52．Which picture shows the three layers of The Line? A．B．C．D． 53．Which best explains the underlined word“migrate” in Paragraph 4? migrate [maɪˈɡreɪt]  v. (migrated, migrating) ①To travel to a new place or country, usually to find work and live there. ②To move from one place to another according to the seasons. ③To move information on one computer to another. ④To begin using a new computer system. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 54．What is Tarek Qaddumi’s attitude towards the city project? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Serious. 55．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell who will build The Line. B．To advise people to visit The Line. C．To introduce a future city called The Line. D．To show the difficulties of building The Line. Passage 12 （2026·福建三明·一模） Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs out of old tennis balls. She creates them with no wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is made of 500 tennis balls. It is both cool and strong. Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don’t break down easily. About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year, and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It takes them over 400 years to break down. Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the US Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon Championships with 55,000. The life cycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games. Wittock receives all her materials from donations (捐赠) mostly from tennis clubs. It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair. To meet the customers’ needs, she cuts and colors the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms. It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look. Creation isn’t the only goal. In fact, what’s more important to Wittock is what happens to the chairs when they’re old. At the end of her chairs’ life, she takes them apart and recycles the tennis balls. The fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the balls are cut into pieces to make bouncy mats (弹性垫) for kids to play on. In this way, nothing goes to waste. 56．Which of the following can best describe Mathilde Wittock? A．She is creative and helpful. B．She works in a big company. C．She used to be a tennis player. D．She is a young pretty designer. 57．What can we learn about tennis balls from Paragraph 2? A．Tennis balls can be broken down easily. B．Many balls are needed in big tennis events. C．About 300 million tennis balls are made each month. D．55,000 tennis balls are used by the US Open every year. 58．Where does Wittock get most of the tennis balls for her chairs? A．From landfills. B．From her customers. C．From tennis clubs. D．From kind-hearted groups. 59．What will most probably be used in making resting chairs? ①Scissors ②Glass ③Brush ④Printer A．①② B．②④ C．③④ D．①③ 60．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．How to continue to reduce waste. B．How to make tennis balls into mats. C．How to improve the design of chairs. D．How to take tennis balls apart quickly. Passage 13 （2026·福建厦门·一模） SAVE THE EARTH!April 22nd is Earth Day. Every year, all students in my city celebrate Earth Day to encourage more people to protect our planet. Origin (起源) The idea of the first Earth Day came from Gaylord Nelson, an American politician (政治家). In 1970, about 60% of lakes and rivers in the US were polluted. So Nelson started Earth Day and asked Americans to take action. Twenty years after the first Earth Day, about 200 million people from 141 countries celebrated Earth Day.

Passage 14 （2026·福建厦门·一模）Recently, at a night market in Hangzhou, people can do more than buy snacks. They can also “search for peace of mind.” Led by Professor Hong Fang from a local university, a professional team has set up a “psychology stall (心理咨询摊位)” there. It offers free counseling (咨询) to visitors. The best part of this new idea is that it is easy for everyone to join. Many people feel scared or nervous about visiting a formal counseling center. But at this night market, they can talk with counselors while making handicrafts (手工艺品) such as painting masks. They can now ask for help in a relaxing and familiar environment. A psychological counselor says this method is very helpful. It helps counselors and people build trust faster. The simple act of creating something helps people relax and express their feelings, and professional counselors can guide conversations towards a deeper understanding. Similar efforts have also appeared in other cities. A counseling service event was held in Chongming, Shanghai, on October 9, 2025. The event mixed games with counseling to bring mental (精神的) health services closer to everyday life. A researcher thinks providing psychological services is a creative and meaningful try. This not only connects psychology with folk traditions, but also helps more people feel comfortable opening up and talking about their worries. This new model mixes professional care with daily life. It makes mental support easy to get and encourages people to care about their feelings. This is a warm and practical way to build a healthier society. 66．What can people do at the “psychology stall” at the night market? ①Make delicious snacks.    ②Make handcrafts.    ③Get free counseling.    ④Play interesting games. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．③④ 67．Why do people prefer the “psychology stall” to a formal counseling center? A．Because they can learn how to make handcrafts there. B．Because they feel relaxed and less nervous there. C．Because it is open at night and near their homes. D．Because the counselors are more professional there. 68．How does the writer develop Paragraph 4? A．By giving an example. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By using a saying. 69．Which of the following would the researcher most probably agree with according to Paragraph 5? A．More professional training is needed for the counselors. B．The stall’s main value is to let people enjoy folk traditions. C．The success of the stall comes from the popularity of night markets. D．Mixing psychological services with folk traditions helps people open up. 70．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Counselors Bring Help to Night Markets B．Handcrafts Help People Relax Their Minds C．Free Counseling Comes to the Night Market D．Night Markets Build a Healthier Society Passage 1 （2026·福建三明·永安一模）Before the 2026 Spring Festival, China Central Television (CCTV) has unveiled its mascots for the upcoming Spring Festival Gala: four spirited horses named Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi, and Chengcheng. They fit the Gala’s theme, “Galloping Forward, Unstoppable,” (骐骥驰骋，势不可挡) while carrying deep roots in Chinese cultural heritage. Each mascot gets inspiration (灵感) from symbolic figures of horses throughout China’s history. ·Qiqi takes its form from an elegant Western Zhou Dynasty bronze, showing elegance (优雅). ·Jiji is modeled after the powerful “heavenly horse” of the Han Dynasty. It stands for courage and advancement. ·Chichi is inspired by the confident Tang Dynasty “three — flower horse” (唐代三花马). ·Chengcheng is based on the Przewalski’s horse (普氏野马, a rare (稀有的) wild horse from Asia). It stands for harmony between humans and nature. All four are decorated with traditional cloud patterns (云纹图案), an ancient Chinese pattern that enhances their beauty and cultural significance. In Chinese culture, the horse stands for strength, persistence and good luck. The four mascots not only bring festival happiness but also show traditional culture and help young people learn about ancient Chinese art and values in a fun way. Basically, Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi and Chengcheng are more than just mascots. They are cultural ambassadors (大使). They build a lively bridge between the past and the present.

You might think of recycling programs or reusable bags, and you probably didn’t picture seaweed (海藻)! Yet seaweed is more than just a delicious food—big seaweed forests in coastal oceans are home to animals like otters (水獭), and seaweed can even help clean up the ocean by taking in pollution from farm waste! People have been talking lately about seaweed farming as a way to help fight climate change. Burning so many old energy sources, like coal, gasoline, and oil, makes the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air go up and up. That makes it harder for plants and animals to live. Well, what can we do to solve this problem? We need to lower CO₂ emissions (排放量) and find the effective ways to remove CO₂ from the air. Luckily, seaweed farming could help with both of these things! When seaweed grows, it takes in CO₂ from the water and turns it into biomass (生物质). It can then be used in different kinds of ways to remove the carbon from the environment, like making seaweed-based products that have lower carbon footprints than many present products. A study shows that growing seaweed can help deal with climate change and its bad effects on the oceans. But it’s not as simple as just growing more seaweed. Instead, the best thing we can do with seaweed is to use it to replace other products. Growing seaweed produces very little CO₂, so using seaweed instead of another product made with old energy sources means that the total CO₂ emissions can be lowered. But it will take much imagination for people to find the best ways to use seaweed in their daily lives. Think about your day-to-day activities. How many things can you find that could be replaced with seaweed products? 6．The underlined word “picture” in Paragraph 1 means ________. A．take photos of B．think of C．dream of D．draw pictures of 7．How can seaweed farming help fight climate change? A．By reducing the O₂ of water in the ocean. B．By providing wild animals with a safe home. C．By producing old energy sources like coal and gasoline. D．By lowering CO₂ emissions and removing CO₂ from the air. 8．What can we know from Paragraph 4? A．Growing is the best thing we can do with seaweed. B．It’s bad to deal with climate change with seaweed. C．It’s difficult for people to grow seaweed in the ocean. D．Seaweed products may replace some common products. 9．What’s the author’s main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why CO₂ is harmful to the environment. B．To show different kinds of seaweed in the ocean. C．To teach people how to grow seaweed in the sea. D．To introduce the use and advantages of seaweed. 10．Which is the author’s attitude towards using seaweed? A．Supportive. B．Worried. C．Uncertain. D．Doubtful. Passage 3 （2026·福建泉州·南安一模）Have you ever wondered when exactly your brain truly becomes “fully grown”? According to new research, the answer is surprising — your brain only goes into “adult mode” (成人模式) in your 30s. Scientists scanned (扫描) the brains of about 4,000 people—from babies under age 1 to 90-year-olds. The researchers found out four major “turning points” when brains rewire (重新连接) themselves: at the ages of 9, 32, 66, and 83. This means that human brains have five different periods, which help scientists understand how the brain is wired during different stages of life. The “wiring” controls how the brain sends and receives signals and affects how people experience the world, make decisions, and form memories. It is also related to mental health and developmental conditions. From birth until age 9, children’s brains grow white and gray matter. Gray matter is a type of brain matter that processes and interprets information and is connected with memory and emotion. White matter carries signals between parts of gray matter and helps with learning and paying attention. During this time, the many connections between young children’s brain cells start dropping. The researchers call this period “childhood”. The second period, “adolescence (青春期)”, lasts from age 9 until 32. During this time, the brain continues to grow more white matter, improving communication inside the brain. People get better at remembering, paying attention, and solving problems. From 32 on, the brain enters “adulthood”. This is the longest period in a person’s life. The brain becomes more stable (稳定的), and brain parts become more separate from each other. In “early aging” (66–83 years old) and “late aging” (from 83 on), the connections in the brain start to drop. “These periods provide important context for what our brains might be best at, or more vulnerable (易受影响的) to, at different stages of our lives,” said Mousley, a student at the University of Cambridge in the UK. She added that the findings could help scientists understand why some brains develop differently than others and how that might affect people. 11．How does the writer start the text? A．By using a saying. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The findings of the research. B．The process of forming memories. C．The ways of keeping mental health. D．The importance of making right decisions. 13．What are the functions of white matter according to the text? ① carry signals        ② help with learning   ③ interpret information ④ help with paying attention               ⑤ process information A．①②④ B．②③④ C．①②③ D．③④⑤ 14．Which period lasts the longest in a person’s life? A．Childhood. B．Adolescence. C．Adulthood. D．Late aging. 15．What can we infer from the text? A．All brains develop in the same way. B．The brain changes as people grow older. C．Childhood is the most important period for brain development. D．White matter plays a more important role in the brain than gray matter. Passage 4 （2026·福建三明·尤溪一模）With no famous players, the “Village Basketball Association (Village BA) (村超)” is very hot today. Even Yao Ming said he could not get a seat in the game. On October 28, 2023, the last game of the “Village BA” was held in Taipan village, Guizhou. Most of the players were farmers from villages and cities there. Over 30,000 people from all over the country poured into the small village. It was hard to find a place to sit. Basketball has a long history in Taipan village. People play basketball games to celebrate the Miao nationality (苗族) harvest festival. It falls on the sixth day of the sixth month in the Chinese lunar calendar and goes back to 1936. As part of the festival fun, people would shoot hoops (投篮). Then the game turned into a real big sports event. From 2016, the local government worked hard to make new standard basketball courts. It was a poor village before, but Taipan is now known for sports and as a place to travel. In the summer of 2022, about 500,000 people came to watch “Village BA” games and the village made over 40,000,000 yuan from visitors. The game has made more people interested in sports. 16．The sports event was held in ______.

Passage 5 （2026·福建泉州·丰泽一模） ①In February 2026, OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent, has taken China by storm. Named “the Lobster” for its special red lobster-shaped logo, it has caused a nationwide trend called “raising lobsters (养龙虾)”. Thousands of tech lovers lined up for free installation (安装) in Shenzhen and Shanghai, while paid setup services quickly grew popular online. ②Unlike standard chatbots such as ChatGPT, OpenClaw is designed for useful tasks. Supporting local installation across various operating systems, it can work on many kinds of systems. It works well with office software to help people work out data (数据). It also acts as a helpful “digital worker” to check codes (代码). Apple’s Mac mini is well suited for running OpenClaw, especially for editing. Big tech companies like Tencent and Baidu offer one-click installation to make it easy to use. Local governments have also created supportive policies to encourage the development of new technologies. ③Unluckily, the rapid growth brings risks. China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has warned that wrong settings during installation may cause cyberattacks and data leaks (泄露). This danger has already made more than 20 large international companies stop using it at work. At the same time, if people rely too much on paid AI services, they will face ongoing costs. A study shows that over 60% of heavy users spend more than 500 yuan every month on such tools. ④As international media reported, OpenClaw shows the quick rise of useful AI tools. It has great possibilities to help people work better. It can improve working efficiency in many fields. But we need a right way to make it develop in a healthy and long-term way.

Passage 6 （2026·福建三明·宁化一模）Studying different languages increases our understanding of how humans communicate and their different cultures. However, almost 80% of the people in the world speak only 1% of its languages. Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear. Throughout history, the languages of dominant (统治的) groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have become extinct. This happens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life. Furthermore, many endangered languages aren’t written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too. Central South America has some of the world’s most endangered languages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medical plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it. In Central and Eastern Siberia, many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers. Yuchi, which may be unrelated to any other language in the world, is one of the many native languages used in Oklahoma, the U.S.A．It is disappearing rapidly. In 2010, only five elderly people could speak this language. Luckily, native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the last speakers of their language. If the young people don’t speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors (祖先), the language will die. And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too. 26．The underlined word “extinct” probably means _______. A．developing B．dying C．old D．fashionable 27．What do the native languages in Central Siberia and Oklahoma have in common? A．Both of them are secret languages. B．Fewer people can speak them today. C．They may be unrelated to other languages. D．They are both spoken mainly by teenagers. 28．To save a language, it is the most important for _______ to learn it. A．young people B．parents C．scientists D．dominant groups 29．What are the reasons why native languages die? ①the small number of speakers        ②the wide spread of the dominant languages ③the use of modern technology        ④the language policies the governments carry out A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 30．What does the writer want to tell us in the passage? A．It’s necessary to study more languages. B．It’s good for people to speak the same language. C．Preventing the loss of the world’s languages is important. D．Protecting languages is more important than protecting cultures. Passage 7 （2026·福建泉州·南安一模） To raise interest in traditional Chinese medicine, Wenzhou No. 23 Middle School started a Chinese Herbal Medicine Club. Over the past three years, the club has helped students explore the world of Chinese herbs (药草) through interesting, hands-on activities. The program is divided into three parts: knowing the herbs, planting the herbs and making herbal sachets (香囊). First, students discover the names, uses and stories behind many herbs. “I learned that Chinese medicine is a big part of our country’s ancient culture,” said Cao Chenhao, an 8th grader. “Some foods we eat, like yams, goji berries and red dates, are actually medicines too.” Planting the herbs is the most exciting activity for many. Students have learned patience, responsibility and how to care for living plants. “Our teacher gave each of us different seeds (种子),” said 7th grader Wu Xuanyi. “We planted and watered them ourselves. Our safflower grew well at first, but later an animal stepped on it! We felt sad, but we planted motherwort instead.” The students also get to make herbal sachets. Guided by the teacher, they mix herbs and create their own sachets. “Although I failed at first, I still remember how great it felt when I finally shaped mine correctly. It was amazing,” said 8th grader Lin Yihao. “I truly experienced the fun of learning about the power of herbs and felt the magic of traditional Chinese medicine,” said Han Yaxue, a 9th grader. This club not only teaches knowledge but also encourages creativity, teamwork and a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. 31．The first part of the program in the club is mainly about ________. A．knowing the herbs B．planting the herbs C．making herbal sachets D．watering the herbs 32．What can we learn from Cao Chenhao’s words? A．Planting herbs is the most interesting activity. B．Chinese medicine is very important in ancient Chinese culture. C．Students should eat yams, goji berries and red dates to stay healthy. D．Foods like yams and goji berries have nothing to do with Chinese medicine. 33．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The seed. B．The animal. C．The safflower. D．The motherwort. 34．What do students probably think of the activities in the club? A．Difficult and tiring. B．Boring and useless. C．Meaningful and fun. D．Simple and relaxing. 35．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Our School Farm and Planting Project B．Chinese Cultural Tradition and Values C．A Brief History: The Story of Traditional Chinese Herbs D．Exploring Chinese Herbs: A Special Club at No. 23 Middle School Passage 8 （2026·福建漳州·一模）A special human-like robot from China has made history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest journey walked by a human-like robot. The robot, named AgiBot A2, was developed by a Shanghai-based tech company. Standing 169 centimeters tall and weighing 69 kilograms, it is designed to offer natural human-robot interaction (互动). Its journey began at Suzhou’s Jinji Lake on November 10 and ended at Shanghai’s Bund three days later. Over nearly three days, the robot walked continuously, covering a total distance of 106 kilometers—about 66 miles. During the trip, it faced challenges like dark nights and busy roads, but it successfully followed traffic rules and avoided things in the way with the help of its sensors. What is amazing about AgiBot A2 is that it can be made in large numbers for common use, without special changes. It uses two GPS tools and special cameras to find its way. It can still move smoothly even in dark places. The most important part is its special battery (电池). People can change the battery quickly without turning off the robot. In this way, the robot can keep working for a long time. This new technology solves the big problem that human-like robots could not work for long in the past and showed the robot’s practical use in real world. Guinness World Records officially recognized the new technology, calling it a great achievement in robotics (机器人学). The robot’s performance not only shows China’s leading position in the field but also makes it possible for a future where robots can help humans in various daily tasks, from housework to elderly care. However, some experts pointed out that there is still a long way to go. Recent human-like robots, though at a high level, are still limited (限制) by high costs. The journey to fully use these intelligent machines in our society is just beginning. 36．What is AgiBot A2 designed for? A．Setting a world record. B．Supporting human-robot interaction. C．Making special changes. D．Showing China’s leading position. 37．What can we know about AgiBot A2 from the text? A．It is 69 centimeters tall. B．It can cover a distance of 106 miles.

D．Human-like robots have taken the place of humans in daily tasks. 40．In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A．Science. B．Travel. C．Art. D．Education. Passage 9 （2026·福建三明·尤溪一模）Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got over many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from the Internet user. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI robots of its kind. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, for example, how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. However, ChatGPT also brings some problems. The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the copyright (版权) problem and the definition (定义) of art. It could also result in many translators and writers losing their jobs or being paid much less, as their skills are no longer something companies need. It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects are mostly positive. 41．The cat story was written to ______. A．introduce a brave cat B．show what ChatGPT can do C．introduce some books D．show how robots read stories 42．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A．To give examples.

Avoid obstacles (障碍物) such as the tree, the wall and so on. 2. Cross the streets when the lights are green. 3. Find chairs, shoes and other objects in daily life. 4. Stay calm in noisy places to keep safe. Although guide dogs are very helpful, they are not widely used around the world. There are two main reasons. First, training a guide dog is expensive—it costs about $20,000 to $50,000 per dog. Second, many people don’t know much about guide dogs. Some people are afraid of them, while others think they are just pets. To solve this problem, many countries are working to popularize guide dogs. 46．Why do German dogs need more training? A．They are easy to train. B．They have high energy. C．They are hard to get along with. D．They have less patience. 47．Which picture shows the job of guide dogs according to the passage?

D．A website for animals. Passage 11 （2026·福建福州·一模）Many a conversation in France starts with a complaint (抱怨): The weather is bad; the grape harvest is even worse… When I first moved to France ten years ago, I was puzzled. I kept wondering why the French were always in such a bad mood. One day, I asked a French friend. “We aren’t really complainers,” he said. “We are râleurs—people who complain just for fun.” Then I knew a complaint is a common starter in French conversations. One could begin talking about the poor restaurant service, even if the meal was mostly great. Such words invite other people to share their opinions. A French complaint is also “something that makes people seem like they’re thinking and not naive (幼稚的),” according to Julie Barlow, co-writer of The Bonjour Effect. Many native English speakers may feel uncomfortable toward the French conversation starter. However, some experts believe that the French attitude may, in fact, be better for their health. According to a 2011 study from the University of Texas, holding back negative emotions can make people more likely to argue or fight. And a 2013 study in Biological Psychiatry found that efforts to regulate negative emotions could be harmful, which might increase the risk of heart diseases. This isn’t to say that complaining is always positive. Complaining too often can get you caught in a situation, actually reshaping your brain to always pay attention to the negative. French râleurs may well avoid this unlucky side effect, because they seldom complain about their own lives but about outside problems. On the whole, hardly ever do the French’s complaints aim to solve problems. Instead, complaining is just part of conversation, a way to build interpersonal connections. 51．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By using a saying. C．By giving examples. D．By making a comparison. 52．Why do the French often start a conversation with a complaint? A．To do it for fun. B．To show they are healthy. C．To solve practical problems. D．To express anger about life. 53．What does the underlined word “regulate” mean in paragraph 3? A．Express. B．Increase. C．Destroy. D．Control. 54．According to the text, which of the following “complaints” is most probably from a French râleur? A．The electricity bill this month is scary. B．It’s snowing awfully heavily. C．Losing the job again upset me. D．I had trouble falling asleep last night. 55．In which section of a newspaper can we probably read the text? A．Environment. B．Technology. C．History. D．Culture. Passage 12 （2026·福建泉州·安溪一模） Unitree Robots: Stars of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala (春晚) The 2026 Spring Festival Gala, China’s most beloved New Year’s show, welcomed a group of special stars—Unitree humanoid robots. Teaming up with young kung fu students, they put on an amazing performance called Martial BOT that amazed millions of viewers. These 1.8-meter-tall robots showed off incredible skills. They did backflips over tables, jumped 3 meters high in the air, and even spun like breakdancers in a move called Airflare. What’s more, dozens of robots moved together in perfect order, changing positions at 4 meters per second without bumping into each other. Their “smart hands” could quickly grab and switch kung fu props like nunchakus and long swords, just like real martial artists. Behind this great show was smart technology. The robots used an AI positioning system that helped them stay on track even after crazy moves. They also had a special control system that let all robots move in sync with almost no delay. This wasn’t Unitree’s first Gala. In 2025, they danced yangge, a traditional folk dance. This year’s performance showed how fast China’s robot technology is growing. It also blended (融合) traditional Chinese culture with high-tech, proving that machines can help keep old traditions alive. 56．Who did the Unitree robots perform with in the 2026 Spring Festival Gala? A．Famous singers. B．Young kung fu students. C．Comedy (喜剧) actors. D．Dancers. 57．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．The Spring Festival Galas. B．Viewers. C．Breakdancers. D．Unitree robots. 58．What helped the robots move together perfectly? A．A special control system. B．Human guides on stage. C．Pre-drawn lines on the floor. D．Loud music to follow. 59．What did the robots do in the 2025 Spring Festival Gala? A．Performed kung fu. B．Starred (主演) in a short play. C．Danced yangge. D．Sang songs. 60．What does the writer think of the future of robots? A．Robots can help keep old traditions alive. B．Robots will be only used for shows. C．Robots will control humans. D．Robots can do nothing for humans. Passage 13 （2026·福建福州·一模）One report by Ember, a global energy group, says the world’s solar and wind farms produced more electricity than coal power plants for the first time. The world produced nearly one-third more solar power in the first half of 2025 than in the same period last year. The growing solar power met 83% of the increase in world’s electricity demand (需求). Besides, wind power grew by over 7%. Together, they filled nearly all of the global growth in electricity demand. “This milestone is an important turning point,” says Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka, the writer of the report. “Solar and wind power are now growing fast enough to meet the world’s growing needs for electricity,” she said. “This marks clean power is developing at the same speed as the growing electricity demand.” According to Ember’s report, China added more renewable energy than the rest of the world together. And another report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows China has been the world’s biggest growing market for renewables. The following explains the success: ● In 2023, China spent about $700 billion on clean energy—almost the same amount as that of all other countries together. ● In 2024, China added 356.61 gigawatts (GW) of new wind and solar power capacity (容量), which is more than Germany’s total power capacity of 352 GW. ● In 2024, China’s coal use increased by 1.7% compared with 2023, while its share of total energy use fell by 1.6%. ● China makes 80% of the world’s solar panels (板) and is the No.1 seller of wind turbines and batteries, helping many countries change to cleaner energy too. However, in the U. S. , electricity demand grew faster than renewables growth, leading to a 17% rise in coal power in the first half of 2025. And in the E.U., slow growth in electricity demand met an unexpected problem: a weather-related drop in wind and hydropower (水力发电) caused more use of gas and coal, even though solar power was developing rapidly. 61．What does the underlined word “This milestone” refer to? A．Solar and wind power have replaced the use of gas and coal. B．83% of the world electricity was from wind power in 2025. C．Rising wind and solar power nearly met global electricity growth. D．The world’s coal power plants are developing at a rapid speed in 2025. 62．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Growing renewables demand in China. B．China’s contribution to global clean energy. C．Growing numbers of renewable farms in China. D．China’s latest research on solar panels and batteries. 63．Which picture shows coal use and its share of total energy use in China (2023-2024)? A． B． C． D． 64．How did the U. S. deal with its growing energy demand in the first half of 2025? A．By producing more solar power. B．By increasing the use of coal power. C．By raising the output of wind and hydropower. D．By controlling the growth speed of energy demand. 65．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Global Renewables: Wind Stands Out B．Global Energy: Renewables Share Rises C．World Energy Increase: Gas & Coal Go Up D．World Electricity Demand: Solar Panels Lead Passage 14 （2026·福建三明·一模） We use bricks to make houses on Earth, but what about building things on the moon? Well, you use “lunar bricks”, of course! Scientists at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) have developed “lunar bricks”. They hope to use the bricks to build a base on the moon. To make the bricks, the scientists used a simulated (模拟的) lunar soil. The bricks are three times stronger than normal bricks or red bricks. They also have mortise and tenon joint structures (榫卯结构), which were used in ancient Chinese buildings. This makes it possible to simply put these bricks together, just like Lego. Professor Zhou Cheng from HUST told Xinhua that they had tested five different kinds of simulated lunar soil and used three ways to harden them. This helped them choose the best materials for making the bricks. Lunar soil isn’t the same everywhere on the moon, Zhou added. For example, one of the kinds tested simulates the lunar soil at the landing site of Chang’e 5, which is mainly basalt (玄武岩). The lunar bricks need to be tested well before being used because the moon has a terrible environment. Quakes (月震) often happen there, and radiation is high. It gets as hot as 180°C during the day and as cold as-190°C at night. The lunar bricks were sent to China’s space station on the Tianzhou 8 spacecraft. There, scientists checked how well the bricks did in space. The first brick has returned to the Earth. China hopes to build a lunar research station between 2028 and 2035. 66．The lunar bricks are developed to ________. A．study the lunar soil B．build a base on the moon C．test the weather on the moon D．create stronger building materials on Earth 67．What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Normal bricks. B．Red bricks. C．Lunar bricks. D．The scientists. 68．Why was it necessary for the researchers to test different kinds of lunar soil simulant? A．They wanted to find materials. B．The simulant is different from real lunar soil. C．The soil on the moon changes from place to place. D．They wanted to find the best basalt for the bricks. 69．What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A．Why lunar bricks need to be tested. B．How the lunar bricks were made. C．What the weather is like on the moon. D．How the lunar bricks were tested. 70．What can we learn about the lunar bricks from the text? A．They were tested in China’s space station. B．A base built by lunar bricks was made on Earth. C．Scientists had used five ways to harden the bricks. D．They will soon be used to build a lunar research station.

Every living thing has a built-in clock that follows the sun. For a long time, people thought daylight tells animals when to rise or rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this idea with a mimosa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves folded up at night. But when he placed it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still opened and closed at the usual times, as if it still knew when it was day or night. He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night. This clock is called the circadian rhythm. Daily cycles tell our bodies when to sleep, eat, and grow. They even help animals know when to move or rest for the season. These clocks help living things stay in line with the sun’s light. Every cell (细胞) in our body has its own tiny clock, but the brain has a master clock that keeps them working together. Like the mimosa plant, our clock counts time in darkness, but it also reacts to light. Humans have special light sensors (传感器) at the back of the eyes. These cells tell the brain when it’s bright or getting dark. The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” signals to all your cells. This process helps reset our body’s clock. That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel tired at the wrong times. Your body’s clock gets out of line with the local time, but soon, sunlight and darkness help reset it. So, don’t worry about missing your watch—your natural clock runs on sun time. 6．What did the French scientist’s experiment with the mimosa plant in 1729 show? A．Plants can only fold their leaves in sunlight. B．Plants need darkness to grow properly. C．Living things have a built-in clock. D．Animals and plants have the same daily cycles. 7．According to Paragraph 4, what role does the brain play in our body’s time system? A．It creates light for the eyes to see. B．It acts as a main controller of our body clocks. C．It helps animals decide when to move for the season. D．It tells each cell to build its own tiny clock. 8．The underlined words “This process” in the last paragraph refer to ______. A．traveling to a different country B．the master clock sending signals C．feeling tired during the day D．plants folding their leaves 9．According to the text, why do people feel tired after flying to a different country? A．The flight itself is usually very long and tiring. B．The food in a different country is unsuitable. C．Their body clock is not matched with the local time. D．The new environment easily affects their eyes. 10．What is the main idea of this text? A．The mimosa plant was a key discovery in science. B．Humans need sunlight to stay healthy and awake. C．Every living thing has a natural clock guided by the sun. D．Traveling to different places can make people feel tired. 【答案】6．C 7．B 8．B 9．C 10．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了生物体内存在由太阳引导的自然生物钟，介绍了生物钟的发现、运作原理，以及其对人类作息和跨时区出行的影响。 6．第二段说明1729年法国科学家用含羞草做实验，发现即使将含羞草放在黑暗橱柜中，它的叶子仍会在固定时间开合，由此得出结论：“He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night.”，这直接说明生物体内存在内置的生物钟。 7．第四段指出：“Every cell in our body has its own tiny clock, but the brain has a master clock that keeps them working together.”，说明大脑在人体时间系统中充当主控制器，协调所有细胞的时钟运作。 8．最后一段提到：“The master clock then sends “wake up” or “sleep” signals to all your cells. This process helps reset our body’s clock.”，因此“This process”指代的是前文提到的主时钟向细胞发送信号的行为。 9．最后一段说明：“That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel tired at the wrong times. Your body’s clock gets out of line with the local time”，说明人们飞往不同国家后感到疲惫，是因为身体的生物钟与当地时间不匹配。 10．文章开篇点明核心：“Every living thing has a built-in clock that follows the sun.”，全文围绕生物的自然生物钟展开，介绍其发现、运作与影响，因此主旨是所有生物都有由太阳引导的自然生物钟。 Passage 3 （2026·福建三明·一模） Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat your fill of these delicious berries, take a good look at them. Then ask yourself, are blueberries really blue? For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully take off the skin of one blueberry, you’ll see that the fruit inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But the moment you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? Well, there are two ways to create colors. The first is through pigments (色素). Pigments show the color of the light they don’t take in. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red lights. Plants prefer to take in blue light because it has more energy than any other light. In fact, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. The second way to make color is through “structural color” (结构色). This happens when the surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the CD’s thin layers. These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes. Blueberries also create structural color in their own way. The berries look black when they’ re ripe (成熟的), but the plants build a thin layer of wax (蜡) on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds far and wide. Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep! 11．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By listing facts. C．By telling a story. D．By asking questions. 12．According to the article, after you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, it almost looks ________. A．blue B．white C．reddish-purple D．black 13．Which of the following pictures correctly shows why a leaf looks green to us? A．B． C． D． 14．According to the text, blueberries appear blue because of ________. A．a layer of wax on their outside B．a special blue pigment C．a special chemical in their flesh D．a shortage of chlorophyll on their leaves 15．What benefit does the blue color of blueberries provide to the plant? A．It protects the plant from insects. B．It makes the fruit stand out in the market. C．It attracts birds to help spread the seeds. D．It helps the plant survive on a warming planet. 【答案】11．D 12．D 13．B 14．A 15．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了蓝莓看似蓝色的原因，解释了植物显色的两种方式——色素显色和结构色，说明蓝莓的蓝色并非来自色素，而是表皮蜡层产生的结构色。 11．文章开头用“Do you like blueberries? ...Then ask yourself, are blueberries really blue?”两个问句引出话题，因此写作方式是“通过提问”。 12．第2段“And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black.”可知，摩擦蓝莓外皮后，蓝莓看起来几乎是黑色的。 13．第3段“Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t take in green light. It sends it out instead while taking in blue and red lights.”可知，叶子呈绿色是因为叶绿素吸收蓝光和红光，反射绿光。 14．第5段“...the plants build a thin layer of wax on their outside. This layer is only 0.4% of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look.”可知，蓝莓的蓝色来自表皮的蜡层。 15．第5段“The blue color helps the plants because birds are attracted to the rare color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds far and wide.”可知，蓝色能吸引鸟类帮助传播种子。 Passage 4 （2026·福建泉州·石狮一模） As night falls in Shenzhen, the lampposts in Futian Mangrove Ecological Park glow (发光) softly. But they are not just simple lampposts—they are the homes of great tits. This unlikely change began in the spring of 2020. Back then park worker Rong Canzhong noticed a smart great tit carrying dry grass into a lamppost. His team later found nests (鸟巢) in 14 lampposts. “Great tits can’t build their own nests,” Rong explained. “These birds usually live in holes left by woodpeckers or in natural tree holes. But trees in the city can’t offer natural holes, so the smart birds turn to the lampposts.” However, building their homes in these lampposts is risky, as nests could collapse (坍塌) at any time, while the electrical systems might be affected. Rather than driving away the feathered residents, Rong’s team started a project to design new lampposts—with both light and life in mind. After years of hard work, the team finally finished their bird-friendly lamppost project: The special warm light bulbs were chosen to avoid disrupting the birds; the new lampposts were set according to the places where they used to build their nests; hidden cameras were used to collect data for future studies... The park now hosts 100 “bird nest lampposts”, and according to Rong, 75 nests have successfully raised new life. These “bird nest lampposts” represent more than just local innovation (创新)—they form part of Shenzhen’s wider vision of becoming an important center on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. From October to February, hundreds of migratory (迁徙的) birds rest in Shenzhen Bay. During this period, most parks in Shenzhen turn off their lights after 11 p.m., ensuring the good sleep of the birds. Progress has been significant—by March this year, Shenzhen had become home to 429 bird species, including 15 protected species. 16．What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A．The location of the lamppost. B．The time great tits build nests. C．The home of great tits in the park. D．The number of lampposts in the park. 17．Why do great tits choose to build nests in lampposts? A．Park workers make them live there. B．Natural tree holes are hard to find in cities. C．Lampposts can protect them from enemies. D．The warm light from lampposts attracts them. 18．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Fool. B．Disturb. C．Protect. D．Influence. 19．What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A．The number of new nests in the park. B．The difficulties of designing new lampposts. C．The reasons for great tits needing protected nests. D．The team’s measures for bird-friendly lampposts. 20．How does the author show us the effect of the bird-friendly lamppost project? A．By listing the numbers. B．By telling personal stories. C．By introducing historical reports. D．By comparing different nesting places. 【答案】16．C 17．B 18．B 19．D 20．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了深圳福田红树林生态公园为适应大山雀的栖息需求，改造路灯为“鸟巢路灯”的故事，展现了深圳对鸟类的保护措施与生态友好理念。 16．第一段提到：“But they are not just simple lampposts—they are the homes of great tits.”，直接点明段落主旨，说明这些路灯同时也是大山雀的家。 17．第二段提到：“But trees in the city can’t offer natural holes, so the smart birds turn to the lampposts.”，明确说明大山雀选择在路灯筑巢，是因为在城市中很难找到天然树洞。 18．第三段提到：“The special warm light bulbs were chosen to avoid disrupting the birds”，结合上下文，选用特殊灯泡的目的是避免对鸟类造成干扰，因此“disrupting”意为“打扰、干扰”，与“Disturb”含义一致。 19．第三段提到：“Rong’s team started a project to design new lampposts—with both light and life in mind. After years of hard work, the team finally finished their bird-friendly lamppost project ...”，整段介绍了工作人员为改造路灯所采取的各项措施，因此段落主旨是团队为打造鸟类友好路灯所做的措施。 20．第三段提到：“100 ‘bird nest lampposts’”和“75 nests have successfully raised new life”；第四段提到：“429 bird species, including 15 protected species”。作者通过列举具体数据，直观展现了鸟类友好路灯项目的成效。 Passage 5 （2026·福建三明·永安一模）What if you could help the environment just by planting a small forest in your neighborhood? That’s the idea behind “micro-forests”—small, thickly planted forests that grow much faster than regular ones. The idea was developed by a Japanese botanist (植物学家) in the 1970s. The method is simple but special: first, prepare the soil deeply. Then, plant many different kinds of native trees and bushes very close together—about three to five plants per square meter. Finally, cover the ground with a thick layer (层) of straw or wood pieces to keep water in and stop weeds (杂草) from growing. Because the plants are so close, they compete for sunlight and grow quickly—up to ten times faster than trees in a normal forest. A micro-forest can become a small wildlife habitat (栖息地) in just 20 to 30 years, while a natural forest would take at least 100 years. Micro-forests have many benefits (益处). They cool down the city by providing shade and releasing water vapor. They absorb rainwater and help prevent floods. They provide food and shelter for birds, insects, and small animals. They also make people feel happier and less stressed. In recent years, micro-forests have appeared in many cities around the world. In Singapore, more than 200 micro-forests have been planted. In Europe, communities come together to plant “pocket forests” in empty lots or schoolyards. In China, some cities like Shenzhen and Chengdu have started similar projects. Of course, micro-forests also face challenges (挑战). They need careful maintenance (保养) in the first two or three years, especially watering during dry periods. And not every piece of land is suitable—the soil may be too poor or too hard. Still, many experts believe micro-forests are a simple, low-cost way to bring nature back into cities. As one ecologist (生态学家) said, “You don’t need a big forest to make a big difference. Sometimes, a small patch of green is enough to start a change.” 21．Who first developed the idea of micro-forests?

Do you believe so? Many plant lovers certainly do. Interestingly, scientists have found that there might be some truth in this idea. Researchers have discovered that plants make sounds when they are stressed. Those are similar to a human cry or shout. The scientists believe the sounds are special enough for us to interpret them and to meet their needs. Unfortunately, plant sounds are at too high a frequency (频率) for the human ear to pick up. Humans can only hear frequencies up to 16 kHz (千赫兹). In 2025, scientists recorded that stressed plants gave out ultrasonic sounds (超声波) at a frequency of 120 kHz when the stress level was proper. The scientists used special AI methods to discover that plants can make ultrasonic sounds up to 250 kHz. However, when the stress level was too high, the plants’ ability to make sounds began to drop as their stress level rose. The research was carried out in an acoustic chamber (隔音房) inside a greenhouse at Israel’s Tel Aviv University. Scientists have discovered that stressed plants produce shakes and the plants turn them into sound waves. Lead researcher Professor Lilach Hadany said: “Plants usually make sounds when they are under stress. Each plant and each type of stress is connected with a special recognizable sound.” She suggested that fields of crops could be quite noisy, adding: “While unheard by the human ear, the sounds made by plants can be heard by bats, mice, and insects.” Interpreting these sounds could help us understand when crops are thirsty. Farmers could water their crops more efficiently, and in this way, they can save water. 26．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By raising a question. C．By explaining a reason. D．By making a comparison. 27．What does the underlined word “Those” refer to in Paragraph 2? A．Sounds. B．Plants. C．Researchers. D．Truths. 28．Which picture shows the relationship between plant sounds and stress levels? A． B． C． D． 29．What can you infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5? A．Human’s hearing is no worse than insects’. B．Plants can communicate with animals by making sounds. C．Humans can hear the sounds as long as they listen carefully. D．Some animals can hear higher-frequency sounds than humans. 30．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．Farmers have found new ways to save water. B．Talking to plants can help them grow better. C．Plants make special sounds when under stress. D．High frequencies are hard for humans to hear. 【答案】26．B 27．A 28．A 29．D 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了植物在受到压力时会发出特殊的高频声波，这些声波超出人类听力范围，但能被蝙蝠、老鼠、昆虫等动物听到，科学家认为这些声音可以帮助人们了解植物的需求，进而帮助农民更高效地灌溉作物。 26．第一段提出问题：“Do you believe so?”，作者通过提出一个问题引出文章主题。 27．第二段提到：“plants make sounds when they are stressed. Those are similar to a human cry or shout.”，句中划线词“Those”指代前文提到的“sounds”。 28．第三段说明：“when the stress level was proper. The scientists used special AI methods to discover that plants can make ultrasonic sounds up to 250 kHz. However, when the stress level was too high, the plants' ability to make sounds began to drop as their stress level rose.”，即压力水平合适时，植物发出的声音频率达到最高；压力过高时，频率随压力上升而下降，对应图A的趋势。 29．第五段划线句：“While unheard by the human ear, the sounds made by plants can be heard by bats, mice, and insects.”，可以推断出蝙蝠、老鼠、昆虫等动物能听到比人类更高频率的声音。 30．全文围绕“plants make sounds when they are stressed”展开，介绍了植物在压力下发出特殊声音的现象、特点及应用前景，核心内容是植物在压力下会发出特殊声音。 Passage 7 （2026·福建漳州·一模） Can humans’ behavior influence horses? If so, how are horses affected by humans? A new study has found that horses can smell fear in humans’ sweat (汗水) and that it causes them to feel the same emotion. In the study, 30 people were asked to watch videos of happy scenes while cotton pads (棉垫) under their arms collected their sweat. Then, with new pads under their arms, they watched a scary film. The researchers then divided 43 horses into three groups. The animals wore muzzles (嘴套) that fit over their nose and mouth. One group was given a muzzle with a pad of happy sweat in it, one group received a pad from the scared people, and the third group had a clean, untouched pad. The team tried to learn how horses reacted to unexpected events, such as an umbrella being opened suddenly near them. Horses that wore the “fear” muzzle acted more scared and they were more likely to become frightened. “The fearful smells from humans amplify the reactions of horses — they’re more likely to kick or run away,” lead researcher Plotine Jardat told CNN. “The study shows that horses can smell how we feel, even if they can’t hear or see us.” Researchers hope that understanding horses’ emotions better can help people communicate more positively with the animals. Scared horses often perform dangerous behavior, so knowing the importance of remaining calm can also keep humans safer around these sensitive creatures. 31．How does the writer begin the writing? A．By giving an example. B．By raising questions. C．By sharing an experience. D．By telling a story. 32．What are the cotton pads used for? A．Collecting people’s sweat. B．Helping horses to remain calm. C．Testing how scared the horse is. D．Making people relax when they ride a horse. 33．What kind of research method was used in the study? A．Keeping diaries. B．Carrying out interviews. C．Collecting numbers. D．Making a comparison. 34．What does the underlined word “amplify” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Receive. B．Increase. C．Explain. D．Mark. 35．What can we learn from the text? A．Humans’ action makes horses angry. B．People should keep away from dangerous horses. C．Horses become frightened when seeing an umbrella. D．Smell from a human body can affect horses’ emotions. 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．D 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，围绕一项关于马与人类情绪关联的新研究展开。 31．文章开头作者提出了两个问题“Can humans’ behavior influence horses? If so, how are horses affected by humans?”，是以提问的方式开篇。 32．原文第二段明确说明棉垫的作用“cotton pads under their arms collected their sweat”，即棉垫用来收集人的汗水。 33．文章第三段介绍了研究过程：将43匹马分为三组，分别给它们佩戴装有“快乐汗液”“恐惧汗液”和干净棉垫的嘴套，对比不同组马对意外事件的反应。这种分组对比的研究方法属于做对比。 34．文章第五段“The fearful smells from humans amplify the reactions of horses — they’re more likely to kick or run away”中，破折号后解释了马的反应：更可能踢人或逃跑，说明人类的恐惧气味会让马的反应更强烈，由此可推断“amplify”的意思是增强、放大。 35．文章第一段“A new study has found that horses can smell fear in humans’ sweat and that it causes them to feel the same emotion.”点明了核心结论：马能闻到人类汗液中的恐惧，并且会产生相同的情绪，即人体的气味会影响马的情绪。 Passage 8 （2026·福建泉州·南安一模）Do you ever try to swat (拍打) a fly? Your hand moves super fast. But you still can’t catch it. It feels like the fly has a lot of time to get away. How can that be? Flies see changes in the world about four times faster than we do. To them, your quick swat looks like slow motion in a movie. Imagine they break one second into many small parts. That gives them a better chance to get away. This power is special to smaller and lighter animals. It’s like their life skill. It helps them stay safe from bigger animals. In fact, different animals have very different abilities to sense changes over time. The chart (图表) below shows how many changes different creatures can notice in just one second. Besides seeing changes, animals have other amazing ways to “tell time” in their daily lives. ★ Sea turtles follow the moon. They lay eggs more often near the new moon. The weak moonlight helps hide their eggs from predators (天敌). ★ Dogs smell time. When you are home, your scent (气味) is strong. After you go to school, your scent slowly fades. By smelling how much scent is left, your dog knows when you’re coming back. ★ Frogs feel the temperature. When the weather gets warmer after winter, frogs wake up and start calling for mates. ★ Honey bees count minutes. They remember when flowers open. Then they fly there at just the right time to get pollen (花粉). 36．Why can a fly easily escape when you try to swat it? A．It has a lot of time to get away. B．It can fly in slow motion to escape. C．It is too small and light for people to see. D．It sees changes much faster than humans. 37．Which creature can see the fewest changes in one second from the chart? A． B． C． D． 38．What does the underlined word “fades” probably mean? A．Stay the same. B．Keep fresher. C．Become weaker. D．Smell pleasant. 39．How do frogs “tell time” according to the text? A．By following the moon’s light. B．By feeling changes in temperature. C．By smelling the scent left in the air. D．By remembering flower opening times. 40．In which section of a newspaper can you probably read the text? A．Culture and art. B．Sports and health. C．Travel and fun. D．Science and nature. 【答案】36．D 37．A 38．C 39．B 40．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了不同动物感知时间的独特能力与方式。 36．文章第二段第一句“Flies see changes in the world about four times faster than we do.”指出，苍蝇感知世界变化的速度比人类快得多，所以能轻易逃脱。 37．文章图表部分内容指出，图表中海星“sea star”在一秒内察觉到的变化最少。 38．文章第五段第三句“After you go to school, your scent slowly fades.”指出，你离开后气味会慢慢变弱，fades意为“Become weaker”。 39．文章第六段“Frogs feel the temperature. When the weather gets warmer after winter, frogs wake up and start calling for mates.”指出，青蛙通过感受温度变化来判断时间。 40．本文主要讲解动物感知时间的科学知识，内容属于自然科学范畴。 Passage 9 （2026·福建漳州·一模） An Experiment about How to Get Clean Water What you need : Large cooking pot Drinking glass with a heavy base Plastic food wrap Tape Muddy water Coin What to do : Step 1.

The secret? Keep learning. “Learning is the method for development no matter how old you are,” said Rachel Wu, a professor of psychology at the University of California Riverside and the author of research. Wu’s study took an ambitious approach (目标宏大的方案): have seniors in their 60s, 70s and 80s involve themselves in a college-like atmosphere, taking three courses at the same time. They took part in at least 15 hours of class a week and also did homework, over three months. Classes included Spanish language, music composition, painting, and instruction on using an iPad. After six weeks, the participants’ (参与者的) test scores for thinking and memory were similar to middle-aged adults’—a great improvement over their scores before the study began. That is, their brains functioned more like those of a person 30 years younger. It’s important to note that the study included just 42 participants who were all healthy and were encouraged to learn. Still, outside experts like Dr. Laurie Archbald-Pannone call the findings important and optimistic (乐观的). “Aging is not a disease. It’s part of the normal process of life,” Archbald-Pannone said. “The brain may work differently, but it matters much to keep the brain functioning actively.” One participant, James Ryan, 72, signed up for the study because he was longing to have a sharp mind after retirement. He was not concerned about the Spanish class. The iPad class did not worry him, either, because he’d spent 50 years working with computers. But without much art experience, the drawing classes were frightening. “I thought I would embarrass (使尴尬) myself,” Ryan said. He was wrong. “I found out I can paint! I was surprised,” Ryan said. What’s more, Ryan’s confidence in learning carried on after the study ended. Now when something around the house breaks, he goes on YouTube to figure out how to fix it. That’s something Ryan says he would not have done before. 46．What can we learn from the results of Wu’s study? A．Learning makes old people’s brains work better. B．The older people are, the better their brains will work. C．Old people can learn three foreign languages at the same time. D．Old people can improve their thinking and memory easily in 12 weeks. 47．Which of the following can best describe Wu’s study? A．It was small but meaningful. B．It was traditional but creative. C．It was creative but impractical. D．It was practical but meaningless. 48．What does Dr. Archbald-Pannone think of aging? A．It brings trouble and bad experiences. B．It is a problem that is hard to deal with. C．It can be completely stopped by humans. D．It is a totally natural and changeable process. 49．What can we know about James Ryan? A．He found the iPad class very challenging. B．He had rich art experience before the study. C．He stopped learning new skills after his retirement. D．He became more willing to learn new things after the study. 50．What is the best title for the text? A．Different Courses for Seniors’ Retirement Life B．James Ryan’s Experience in Learning New Skills C．A Study on Middle-Aged Adults’ Learning Ability D．Learning Helps Seniors Keep Brain Functioning Well 【答案】46．A 47．A 48．D 49．D 50．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于老年人学习与大脑功能的研究，表明持续学习有助于老年人的大脑保持良好运作状态。    46．第二段提到：“After six weeks, the participants’ test scores for thinking and memory were similar to middle-aged adults’—a great improvement over their scores before the study began. That is, their brains functioned more like those of a person 30 years younger.”，点明了研究结果，说明学习能让老年人的大脑运作得更好。 47．第三段提到：“It’s important to note that the study included just 42 participants who were all healthy and were encouraged to learn.

That sounds impossible, but it’s becoming a reality. Saudi Arabia is building such a city called The Line. It starts from the mountains of Northwest Saudi Arabia and pushes its way to the Red Sea. With an area of just 34 square kilometers, it can be home to 9 million people. The Line is 500 meters tall, 200 meters wide and 170 kilometers long, with two huge mirror walls standing on its both sides. To put living experiences and natural environment first, The Line is designed to have three layers (层). The top layer has no roads or cars, keeping over 95% of the nature around. Carefully designed environment makes the best balance of sunshine, trees and other natural sights. The middle layer is for services. All of them are operated by AI. Robots and a huge man-made moon make the city a technology paradise (天堂). From shopping malls to sports areas, wherever you go, you will be amazed at how convenient life can be. The lowest layer is the most important part which shows how fast the city runs. The Line’s high-speed railway powered by electricity makes it possible to travel end to end in 20 minutes. The plan started in early 2021 and is expected to finish its first stage in 2030. However, not everyone shows enough confidence in the plan. Environmentalists argue that mirror walls of The Line will bring danger to animals. For example, birds may hit onto the glass or even die when they migrate every spring and autumn. Besides, some commentators (评论员) also question whether the city will be built successfully.  But Tarek Qaddumi, the director of the plan, seems sure, “We hope to get faster, better and greener results, with less environmental influence. It will set a new standard for future city life.” 51．What’s The Line according to the passage? A．A city that will lie under the Red Sea. B．A city that will be built in the shape of a line. C．A city that will have a population of 11 million. D．A city that will have stone walls on the two sides. 52．Which picture shows the three layers of The Line? A．B．C．D． 53．Which best explains the underlined word“migrate” in Paragraph 4? migrate [maɪˈɡreɪt]  v. (migrated, migrating) ①To travel to a new place or country, usually to find work and live there. ②To move from one place to another according to the seasons. ③To move information on one computer to another. ④To begin using a new computer system. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 54．What is Tarek Qaddumi’s attitude towards the city project? A．Hopeful. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Serious. 55．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To tell who will build The Line. B．To advise people to visit The Line. C．To introduce a future city called The Line. D．To show the difficulties of building The Line. 【答案】51．B 52．C 53．B 54．A 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了沙特阿拉伯正在沙漠中建造的未来城市The Line，包括其设计理念、三层结构、运行能源、预期进度及相关争议。 51．第二段介绍：“Saudi Arabia is building such a city called The Line... The Line is 500 meters tall,200 meters wide and 170 kilometers long, with two huge mirror walls standing on its both sides.”，同时提到“With an area of just 34 square kilometers, it can be home to 9 million people.”，说明The Line是一座线型城市，并非位于红海之下、人口并非1100万，且两侧为镜面墙而非石墙，因此B选项正确。 52．第三段介绍三层结构：“The top layer has no roads or cars, keeping over 95% of the nature around. Carefully designed environment makes the best balance of sunshine, trees and other natural sights. The middle layer is for services... The lowest layer is the most important part which shows how fast the city runs. The Line's high-speed railway powered by electricity makes it possible to travel end to end in 20 minutes.”，即顶层为自然环境、中层为AI服务设施、底层为高速铁路，对应选项C的图示。 53．第四段中“birds may hit onto the glass or even die when they migrate every spring and autumn”，结合常识，鸟类每年春秋会进行季节性迁徙，因此“migrate”此处指根据季节迁徙，对应释义②，选项B正确。 54．第四段提到：“But Tarek Qaddumi, the director of the plan, seems sure; 'We hope to get faster,better and greener results, with less environmental influence. It will set a new standard for future city life.'”，可见他对项目充满信心，态度是充满希望的，选项A正确。 55．全文围绕The Line的建造背景、设计结构、争议与展望展开，核心目的是介绍这座未来城市，选项C正确。 Passage 12 （2026·福建三明·一模） Mathilde Wittock, a designer from Belgium, makes resting chairs out of old tennis balls. She creates them with no wood or plastic. Instead, each of her chairs is made of 500 tennis balls. It is both cool and strong. Wittock wants to help protect the environment because many tennis balls are thrown away and don’t break down easily. About 300 million tennis balls are produced each year, and almost all of them end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场). It takes them over 400 years to break down. Big tennis events use a large number of balls, like the US Open with 70,000 and Wimbledon Championships with 55,000. The life cycle of a ball is not long, which usually lasts for nine games. Wittock receives all her materials from donations (捐赠) mostly from tennis clubs. It takes Wittock three to four weeks to make a chair. To meet the customers’ needs, she cuts and colors the tennis balls by hand to match their rooms. It takes her much hard work and patience to change how the balls look. Creation isn’t the only goal. In fact, what’s more important to Wittock is what happens to the chairs when they’re old. At the end of her chairs’ life, she takes them apart and recycles the tennis balls. The fuzz (绒毛) is burned off, and the balls are cut into pieces to make bouncy mats (弹性垫) for kids to play on. In this way, nothing goes to waste. 56．Which of the following can best describe Mathilde Wittock? A．She is creative and helpful. B．She works in a big company. C．She used to be a tennis player. D．She is a young pretty designer. 57．What can we learn about tennis balls from Paragraph 2? A．Tennis balls can be broken down easily. B．Many balls are needed in big tennis events. C．About 300 million tennis balls are made each month. D．55,000 tennis balls are used by the US Open every year. 58．Where does Wittock get most of the tennis balls for her chairs? A．From landfills. B．From her customers. C．From tennis clubs. D．From kind-hearted groups. 59．What will most probably be used in making resting chairs? ①Scissors ②Glass ③Brush ④Printer A．①② B．②④ C．③④ D．①③ 60．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．How to continue to reduce waste. B．How to make tennis balls into mats. C．How to improve the design of chairs.

They can also “search for peace of mind.” Led by Professor Hong Fang from a local university, a professional team has set up a “psychology stall (心理咨询摊位)” there. It offers free counseling (咨询) to visitors. The best part of this new idea is that it is easy for everyone to join. Many people feel scared or nervous about visiting a formal counseling center. But at this night market, they can talk with counselors while making handicrafts (手工艺品) such as painting masks. They can now ask for help in a relaxing and familiar environment. A psychological counselor says this method is very helpful. It helps counselors and people build trust faster. The simple act of creating something helps people relax and express their feelings, and professional counselors can guide conversations towards a deeper understanding. Similar efforts have also appeared in other cities. A counseling service event was held in Chongming, Shanghai, on October 9, 2025. The event mixed games with counseling to bring mental (精神的) health services closer to everyday life. A researcher thinks providing psychological services is a creative and meaningful try. This not only connects psychology with folk traditions, but also helps more people feel comfortable opening up and talking about their worries. This new model mixes professional care with daily life. It makes mental support easy to get and encourages people to care about their feelings. This is a warm and practical way to build a healthier society. 66．What can people do at the “psychology stall” at the night market? ①Make delicious snacks.    ②Make handcrafts.    ③Get free counseling.    ④Play interesting games. A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．③④ 67．Why do people prefer the “psychology stall” to a formal counseling center? A．Because they can learn how to make handcrafts there. B．Because they feel relaxed and less nervous there. C．Because it is open at night and near their homes. D．Because the counselors are more professional there. 68．How does the writer develop Paragraph 4? A．By giving an example. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking a question. D．By using a saying. 69．Which of the following would the researcher most probably agree with according to Paragraph 5? A．More professional training is needed for the counselors. B．The stall’s main value is to let people enjoy folk traditions. C．The success of the stall comes from the popularity of night markets. D．Mixing psychological services with folk traditions helps people open up. 70．What’s the best title for the passage?

You might think of recycling programs or reusable bags, and you probably didn’t picture seaweed (海藻)! Yet seaweed is more than just a delicious food—big seaweed forests in coastal oceans are home to animals like otters (水獭), and seaweed can even help clean up the ocean by taking in pollution from farm waste! People have been talking lately about seaweed farming as a way to help fight climate change. Burning so many old energy sources, like coal, gasoline, and oil, makes the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air go up and up. That makes it harder for plants and animals to live. Well, what can we do to solve this problem? We need to lower CO₂ emissions (排放量) and find the effective ways to remove CO₂ from the air. Luckily, seaweed farming could help with both of these things! When seaweed grows, it takes in CO₂ from the water and turns it into biomass (生物质). It can then be used in different kinds of ways to remove the carbon from the environment, like making seaweed-based products that have lower carbon footprints than many present products. A study shows that growing seaweed can help deal with climate change and its bad effects on the oceans. But it’s not as simple as just growing more seaweed. Instead, the best thing we can do with seaweed is to use it to replace other products. Growing seaweed produces very little CO₂, so using seaweed instead of another product made with old energy sources means that the total CO₂ emissions can be lowered. But it will take much imagination for people to find the best ways to use seaweed in their daily lives. Think about your day-to-day activities. How many things can you find that could be replaced with seaweed products? 6．The underlined word “picture” in Paragraph 1 means ________. A．take photos of B．think of C．dream of D．draw pictures of 7．How can seaweed farming help fight climate change? A．By reducing the O₂ of water in the ocean. B．By providing wild animals with a safe home. C．By producing old energy sources like coal and gasoline. D．By lowering CO₂ emissions and removing CO₂ from the air. 8．What can we know from Paragraph 4? A．Growing is the best thing we can do with seaweed. B．It’s bad to deal with climate change with seaweed. C．It’s difficult for people to grow seaweed in the ocean. D．Seaweed products may replace some common products. 9．What’s the author’s main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why CO₂ is harmful to the environment. B．To show different kinds of seaweed in the ocean. C．To teach people how to grow seaweed in the sea. D．To introduce the use and advantages of seaweed. 10．Which is the author’s attitude towards using seaweed? A．Supportive. B．Worried. C．Uncertain. D．Doubtful. 【答案】6．B 7．D 8．D 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海藻除了作为美味食物外，还对海洋生态和应对气候变化有重要作用。海藻能够吸收农场废物中的污染，帮助净化海洋，且海藻养殖有助于降低二氧化碳排放和从空气中移除二氧化碳，对抗气候变化。文章还探讨了海藻在日常生活中的潜在应用，鼓励人们发挥想象力，用海藻产品替代传统产品。 6．第一段提到：“What does ‘environmentally friendly’ mean to you? You might think of recycling programs or reusable bags, and you probably didn’t picture seaweed (海藻)!”这句话直接说明当提到“environmentally friendly”时，你可能会想到回收项目或可重复使用的袋子，但可能不会想到海藻。因此，“picture”在这里的意思是“想到”。 7．第三段提到：“We need to lower CO₂ emissions (排放量) and find the effective ways to remove CO₂ from the air. Luckily, seaweed farming could help with both of these things!”这句话直接说明海藻养殖可以通过降低二氧化碳排放和从空气中移除二氧化碳来帮助应对气候变化。 8．第四段提到：“Instead, the best thing we can do with seaweed is to use it to replace other products.”和“How many things can you find that could be replaced with seaweed products?”这两句话直接说明海藻产品可能会替代一些常见产品。 9．文章首先介绍了海藻对海洋生态的益处，然后详细阐述了海藻养殖在应对气候变化方面的作用，最后探讨了海藻在日常生活中的潜在应用。因此，作者的主要目的是介绍海藻的用途和优势。 10．文章中提到海藻养殖有助于应对气候变化，且鼓励人们用海藻产品替代传统产品，这表明作者对使用海藻持支持态度。 Passage 3 （2026·福建泉州·南安一模）Have you ever wondered when exactly your brain truly becomes “fully grown”? According to new research, the answer is surprising — your brain only goes into “adult mode” (成人模式) in your 30s. Scientists scanned (扫描) the brains of about 4,000 people—from babies under age 1 to 90-year-olds. The researchers found out four major “turning points” when brains rewire (重新连接) themselves: at the ages of 9, 32, 66, and 83. This means that human brains have five different periods, which help scientists understand how the brain is wired during different stages of life. The “wiring” controls how the brain sends and receives signals and affects how people experience the world, make decisions, and form memories. It is also related to mental health and developmental conditions. From birth until age 9, children’s brains grow white and gray matter. Gray matter is a type of brain matter that processes and interprets information and is connected with memory and emotion. White matter carries signals between parts of gray matter and helps with learning and paying attention. During this time, the many connections between young children’s brain cells start dropping. The researchers call this period “childhood”. The second period, “adolescence (青春期)”, lasts from age 9 until 32. During this time, the brain continues to grow more white matter, improving communication inside the brain. People get better at remembering, paying attention, and solving problems. From 32 on, the brain enters “adulthood”. This is the longest period in a person’s life. The brain becomes more stable (稳定的), and brain parts become more separate from each other. In “early aging” (66–83 years old) and “late aging” (from 83 on), the connections in the brain start to drop. “These periods provide important context for what our brains might be best at, or more vulnerable (易受影响的) to, at different stages of our lives,” said Mousley, a student at the University of Cambridge in the UK. She added that the findings could help scientists understand why some brains develop differently than others and how that might affect people. 11．How does the writer start the text?

Even Yao Ming said he could not get a seat in the game. On October 28, 2023, the last game of the “Village BA” was held in Taipan village, Guizhou. Most of the players were farmers from villages and cities there. Over 30,000 people from all over the country poured into the small village. It was hard to find a place to sit. Basketball has a long history in Taipan village. People play basketball games to celebrate the Miao nationality (苗族) harvest festival. It falls on the sixth day of the sixth month in the Chinese lunar calendar and goes back to 1936. As part of the festival fun, people would shoot hoops (投篮). Then the game turned into a real big sports event. From 2016, the local government worked hard to make new standard basketball courts. It was a poor village before, but Taipan is now known for sports and as a place to travel.

However, almost 80% of the people in the world speak only 1% of its languages. Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear. Throughout history, the languages of dominant (统治的) groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have become extinct. This happens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life. Furthermore, many endangered languages aren’t written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too. Central South America has some of the world’s most endangered languages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medical plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it. In Central and Eastern Siberia, many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers. Yuchi, which may be unrelated to any other language in the world, is one of the many native languages used in Oklahoma, the U.S.A．It is disappearing rapidly. In 2010, only five elderly people could speak this language. Luckily, native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the last speakers of their language. If the young people don’t speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors (祖先), the language will die. And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too. 26．The underlined word “extinct” probably means _______. A．developing B．dying C．old D．fashionable 27．What do the native languages in Central Siberia and Oklahoma have in common? A．Both of them are secret languages. B．Fewer people can speak them today. C．They may be unrelated to other languages. D．They are both spoken mainly by teenagers. 28．To save a language, it is the most important for _______ to learn it. A．young people B．parents C．scientists D．dominant groups 29．What are the reasons why native languages die? ①the small number of speakers        ②the wide spread of the dominant languages ③the use of modern technology        ④the language policies the governments carry out A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 30．What does the writer want to tell us in the passage? A．It’s necessary to study more languages. B．It’s good for people to speak the same language. C．Preventing the loss of the world’s languages is important. D．Protecting languages is more important than protecting cultures. 【答案】26．B 27．B 28．A 29．B 30．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球语言面临的濒危现状，分析了母语消失的原因，列举了部分濒危语言的案例，并介绍了拯救濒危语言的相关举措，强调了保护语言对文化传承的重要性。 26．第二段指出语境：“the languages of native cultures have become extinct”与前文“the languages of dominant groups have spread”形成对比，且后文提到“when the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct”，结合选项可推测“extinct”意为“消亡的”。 27．第三段说明共性：提及西伯利亚中部的许多语言“now have only a few elderly speakers”，美国俄克拉荷马州的尤奇语“is disappearing rapidly. In 2010, only five elderly people could speak this language”，两者均体现出如今使用者数量极少的特点。 28．第四段明确关键：“If the young people don’t speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors, the language will die”，直接表明年轻人学习语言是拯救语言最重要的因素。 29．第二段和第三段分析原因：“the languages of dominant groups have spread”、“because of government language policies”，第三段列举的濒危语言案例均体现“the small number of speakers”；而现代技术是拯救语言的手段，并非语言消亡的原因，因此答案为①②④。 30．全文核心主旨：开篇点明语言消亡的严峻现状，中间分析原因、列举案例，结尾强调“when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too”，并介绍保护举措，整体围绕“阻止全球语言流失至关重要”展开。 Passage 7 （2026·福建泉州·南安一模） To raise interest in traditional Chinese medicine, Wenzhou No. 23 Middle School started a Chinese Herbal Medicine Club. Over the past three years, the club has helped students explore the world of Chinese herbs (药草) through interesting, hands-on activities. The program is divided into three parts: knowing the herbs, planting the herbs and making herbal sachets (香囊). First, students discover the names, uses and stories behind many herbs. “I learned that Chinese medicine is a big part of our country’s ancient culture,” said Cao Chenhao, an 8th grader. “Some foods we eat, like yams, goji berries and red dates, are actually medicines too.” Planting the herbs is the most exciting activity for many. Students have learned patience, responsibility and how to care for living plants. “Our teacher gave each of us different seeds (种子),” said 7th grader Wu Xuanyi. “We planted and watered them ourselves. Our safflower grew well at first, but later an animal stepped on it! We felt sad, but we planted motherwort instead.” The students also get to make herbal sachets. Guided by the teacher, they mix herbs and create their own sachets. “Although I failed at first, I still remember how great it felt when I finally shaped mine correctly. It was amazing,” said 8th grader Lin Yihao. “I truly experienced the fun of learning about the power of herbs and felt the magic of traditional Chinese medicine,” said Han Yaxue, a 9th grader. This club not only teaches knowledge but also encourages creativity, teamwork and a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. 31．The first part of the program in the club is mainly about ________. A．knowing the herbs B．planting the herbs C．making herbal sachets D．watering the herbs 32．What can we learn from Cao Chenhao’s words? A．Planting herbs is the most interesting activity. B．Chinese medicine is very important in ancient Chinese culture. C．Students should eat yams, goji berries and red dates to stay healthy. D．Foods like yams and goji berries have nothing to do with Chinese medicine. 33．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The seed. B．The animal. C．The safflower.

The robot, named AgiBot A2, was developed by a Shanghai-based tech company. Standing 169 centimeters tall and weighing 69 kilograms, it is designed to offer natural human-robot interaction (互动). Its journey began at Suzhou’s Jinji Lake on November 10 and ended at Shanghai’s Bund three days later. Over nearly three days, the robot walked continuously, covering a total distance of 106 kilometers—about 66 miles. During the trip, it faced challenges like dark nights and busy roads, but it successfully followed traffic rules and avoided things in the way with the help of its sensors. What is amazing about AgiBot A2 is that it can be made in large numbers for common use, without special changes. It uses two GPS tools and special cameras to find its way. It can still move smoothly even in dark places. The most important part is its special battery (电池). People can change the battery quickly without turning off the robot. In this way, the robot can keep working for a long time. This new technology solves the big problem that human-like robots could not work for long in the past and showed the robot’s practical use in real world. Guinness World Records officially recognized the new technology, calling it a great achievement in robotics (机器人学). The robot’s performance not only shows China’s leading position in the field but also makes it possible for a future where robots can help humans in various daily tasks, from housework to elderly care. However, some experts pointed out that there is still a long way to go. Recent human-like robots, though at a high level, are still limited (限制) by high costs.

Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got over many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it. The technology chats in a conversational way, answering questions from the Internet user. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI robots of its kind. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, for example, how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. However, ChatGPT also brings some problems. The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many problems, such as the copyright (版权) problem and the definition (定义) of art. It could also result in many translators and writers losing their jobs or being paid much less, as their skills are no longer something companies need. It’s too soon to say what kind of influence ChatGPT will have on our lives. Let’s hope that, if ChatGPT does become bigger and more popular, its effects are mostly positive. 41．The cat story was written to ______. A．introduce a brave cat B．show what ChatGPT can do C．introduce some books D．show how robots read stories 42．What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing Paragraph 1? A．To give examples.

Second, many people don’t know much about guide dogs.”说明导盲犬未被广泛使用的原因一是训练成本高，二是很多人对导盲犬了解不多。因此训练它们很昂贵符合原文。 49．A选项导盲犬只是盲人的宠物与原文不符，导盲犬有很多重要工作；B选项人们用导盲犬寻找被盗物品文中未提及；C选项根据“To solve this problem, many countries are working to popularize guide dogs.”可知未来会有更多人了解导盲犬，该选项正确；D选项导盲犬在红灯时帮助盲人过马路与原文“Cross the streets when the lights are green.”不符。说明只有C正确。 50．本文介绍了导盲犬的类型、工作等内容，一般情况下动物网站会有关于各种动物的信息介绍，包括导盲犬，符合本文的出处。 Passage 11 （2026·福建福州·一模）Many a conversation in France starts with a complaint (抱怨): The weather is bad; the grape harvest is even worse… When I first moved to France ten years ago, I was puzzled. I kept wondering why the French were always in such a bad mood. One day, I asked a French friend. “We aren’t really complainers,” he said. “We are râleurs—people who complain just for fun.” Then I knew a complaint is a common starter in French conversations. One could begin talking about the poor restaurant service, even if the meal was mostly great. Such words invite other people to share their opinions. A French complaint is also “something that makes people seem like they’re thinking and not naive (幼稚的),” according to Julie Barlow, co-writer of The Bonjour Effect. Many native English speakers may feel uncomfortable toward the French conversation starter. However, some experts believe that the French attitude may, in fact, be better for their health. According to a 2011 study from the University of Texas, holding back negative emotions can make people more likely to argue or fight. And a 2013 study in Biological Psychiatry found that efforts to regulate negative emotions could be harmful, which might increase the risk of heart diseases. This isn’t to say that complaining is always positive. Complaining too often can get you caught in a situation, actually reshaping your brain to always pay attention to the negative. French râleurs may well avoid this unlucky side effect, because they seldom complain about their own lives but about outside problems. On the whole, hardly ever do the French’s complaints aim to solve problems. Instead, complaining is just part of conversation, a way to build interpersonal connections. 51．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By using a saying. C．By giving examples. D．By making a comparison. 52．Why do the French often start a conversation with a complaint? A．To do it for fun. B．To show they are healthy. C．To solve practical problems. D．To express anger about life. 53．What does the underlined word “regulate” mean in paragraph 3? A．Express. B．Increase. C．Destroy. D．Control. 54．According to the text, which of the following “complaints” is most probably from a French râleur? A．The electricity bill this month is scary. B．It’s snowing awfully heavily. C．Losing the job again upset me. D．I had trouble falling asleep last night. 55．In which section of a newspaper can we probably read the text? A．Environment. B．Technology. C．History. D．Culture. 【答案】51．C 52．A 53．D 54．B 55．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了法国人喜欢以抱怨开启对话这一现象及其背后的原因和影响。 51．细节理解题。根据“Many a conversation in France starts with a complaint (抱怨): The weather is bad; the grape harvest is even worse…”可知，作者通过列举天气不好、葡萄收成更差等例子来开始文章。故选C。 52．细节理解题。根据“We are râleurs—people who complain just for fun.”可知，法国人经常以抱怨开启对话是为了好玩。故选A。 53．词句猜测题。根据“And a 2013 study in Biological Psychiatry found that efforts to regulate negative emotions could be harmful, which might increase the risk of heart diseases.”可知，2013年《生物精神病学》上的一项研究发现，努力控制负面情绪可能有害，这可能会增加患心脏病的风险。所以“regulate”意思是“控制”。故选D。 54．推理判断题。根据“French râleurs may well avoid this unlucky side effect, because they seldom complain about their own lives but about outside problems.”可知，法国的抱怨者很少抱怨自己的生活，而是抱怨外部问题，B选项“雪下得太大了”属于外部问题，最有可能是法国抱怨者说的。故选B。 55．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文围绕法国人喜欢以抱怨开启对话这一文化现象展开，最有可能在报纸的“文化”板块读到。故选D。 Passage 12 （2026·福建泉州·安溪一模） Unitree Robots: Stars of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala (春晚) The 2026 Spring Festival Gala, China’s most beloved New Year’s show, welcomed a group of special stars—Unitree humanoid robots. Teaming up with young kung fu students, they put on an amazing performance called Martial BOT that amazed millions of viewers. These 1.8-meter-tall robots showed off incredible skills. They did backflips over tables, jumped 3 meters high in the air, and even spun like breakdancers in a move called Airflare. What’s more, dozens of robots moved together in perfect order, changing positions at 4 meters per second without bumping into each other. Their “smart hands” could quickly grab and switch kung fu props like nunchakus and long swords, just like real martial artists. Behind this great show was smart technology. The robots used an AI positioning system that helped them stay on track even after crazy moves. They also had a special control system that let all robots move in sync with almost no delay. This wasn’t Unitree’s first Gala. In 2025, they danced yangge, a traditional folk dance. This year’s performance showed how fast China’s robot technology is growing. It also blended (融合) traditional Chinese culture with high-tech, proving that machines can help keep old traditions alive. 56．Who did the Unitree robots perform with in the 2026 Spring Festival Gala? A．Famous singers. B．Young kung fu students. C．Comedy (喜剧) actors. D．Dancers. 57．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to? A．The Spring Festival Galas. B．Viewers. C．Breakdancers.

In 2025, they danced yangge”可知，they指代前文提到的“Unitree robots”。 58．根据第三段“They also had a special control system that let all robots move in sync with almost no delay.”可知，帮助机器人完美同步移动的是“特殊的控制系统”。 59．根据第四段“In 2025, they danced yangge”可知，2025年春晚上机器人表演了“秧歌”。 60．根据文章最后一句“proving that machines can help keep old traditions alive”以及全文对机器人技术的积极描述可知，机器能够帮助传承古老传统。 Passage 13 （2026·福建福州·一模）One report by Ember, a global energy group, says the world’s solar and wind farms produced more electricity than coal power plants for the first time. The world produced nearly one-third more solar power in the first half of 2025 than in the same period last year. The growing solar power met 83% of the increase in world’s electricity demand (需求). Besides, wind power grew by over 7%. Together, they filled nearly all of the global growth in electricity demand. “This milestone is an important turning point,” says Malgorzata Wiatros-Motyka, the writer of the report. “Solar and wind power are now growing fast enough to meet the world’s growing needs for electricity,” she said. “This marks clean power is developing at the same speed as the growing electricity demand.” According to Ember’s report, China added more renewable energy than the rest of the world together. And another report by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows China has been the world’s biggest growing market for renewables. The following explains the success: ● In 2023, China spent about $700 billion on clean energy—almost the same amount as that of all other countries together. ● In 2024, China added 356.61 gigawatts (GW) of new wind and solar power capacity (容量), which is more than Germany’s total power capacity of 352 GW. ● In 2024, China’s coal use increased by 1.7% compared with 2023, while its share of total energy use fell by 1.6%. ● China makes 80% of the world’s solar panels (板) and is the No.1 seller of wind turbines and batteries, helping many countries change to cleaner energy too. However, in the U. S. , electricity demand grew faster than renewables growth, leading to a 17% rise in coal power in the first half of 2025. And in the E.U., slow growth in electricity demand met an unexpected problem: a weather-related drop in wind and hydropower (水力发电) caused more use of gas and coal, even though solar power was developing rapidly. 61．What does the underlined word “This milestone” refer to? A．Solar and wind power have replaced the use of gas and coal. B．83% of the world electricity was from wind power in 2025. C．Rising wind and solar power nearly met global electricity growth. D．The world’s coal power plants are developing at a rapid speed in 2025. 62．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．Growing renewables demand in China. B．China’s contribution to global clean energy. C．Growing numbers of renewable farms in China. D．China’s latest research on solar panels and batteries. 63．Which picture shows coal use and its share of total energy use in China (2023-2024)? A． B． C． D． 64．How did the U. S. deal with its growing energy demand in the first half of 2025? A．By producing more solar power. B．By increasing the use of coal power. C．By raising the output of wind and hydropower. D．By controlling the growth speed of energy demand. 65．Which would be the best title for the text? A．Global Renewables: Wind Stands Out B．Global Energy: Renewables Share Rises C．World Energy Increase: Gas & Coal Go Up D．World Electricity Demand: Solar Panels Lead 【答案】61．C 62．B 63．A 64．B 65．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了全球范围内可再生能源（风能、太阳能）所占比重不断上升，并首次超过煤电。 61．词句猜测题。根据“The growing solar power met 83% of the increase in world’s electricity demand (需求). Besides, wind power grew by over 7%. Together, they filled nearly all of the global growth in electricity demand.”可知，This milestone指的是上文提到的“增长迅猛的风能和太阳能几乎满足了全球用电增长”。故选C。 62．主旨大意题。根据“China added more renewable energy than the rest of the world together.”及整段内容可知，本段主要讲中国在清洁能源方面的巨大投入及领先地位，强调其对全球清洁能源的贡献。故选B。 63．推理判断题。根据“In 2024, China’s coal use increased by 1.7% compared with 2023, while its share of total energy use fell by 1.6%.”可知，2024 年中国的煤炭使用量比 2023 年上升 1.7%，而煤炭占总体能源的比例下降 1.6%，故图中应体现2024年煤炭使用量的柱状比2023年更高，而代表所占比例的折线则应比2023年更低。故选A。 64．推理判断题。根据“in the U. S. , electricity demand grew faster than renewables growth, leading to a 17% rise in coal power in the first half of 2025.”可知，美国2025年上半年电力需求增长超过了新能源增长，导致煤电使用量上升17%，可见美国是通过“增加煤电使用”来应对能源需求。故选B。 65．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍全球范围内可再生能源所占比重不断上升，并首次超过煤电。故选项B“全球能源：可再生能源占比上升”符合本文标题。故选B。 Passage 14 （2026·福建三明·一模） We use bricks to make houses on Earth, but what about building things on the moon? Well, you use “lunar bricks”, of course! Scientists at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) have developed “lunar bricks”. They hope to use the bricks to build a base on the moon. To make the bricks, the scientists used a simulated (模拟的) lunar soil. The bricks are three times stronger than normal bricks or red bricks. They also have mortise and tenon joint structures (榫卯结构), which were used in ancient Chinese buildings. This makes it possible to simply put these bricks together, just like Lego. Professor Zhou Cheng from HUST told Xinhua that they had tested five different kinds of simulated lunar soil and used three ways to harden them. This helped them choose the best materials for making the bricks. Lunar soil isn’t the same everywhere on the moon, Zhou added. For example, one of the kinds tested simulates the lunar soil at the landing site of Chang’e 5, which is mainly basalt (玄武岩). The lunar bricks need to be tested well before being used because the moon has a terrible environment. Quakes (月震) often happen there, and radiation is high. It gets as hot as 180°C during the day and as cold as-190°C at night. The lunar bricks were sent to China’s space station on the Tianzhou 8 spacecraft. There, scientists checked how well the bricks did in space. The first brick has returned to the Earth. China hopes to build a lunar research station between 2028 and 2035. 66．The lunar bricks are developed to ________. A．study the lunar soil B．build a base on the moon C．test the weather on the moon D．create stronger building materials on Earth 67．What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Normal bricks. B．Red bricks. C．Lunar bricks. D．The scientists. 68．Why was it necessary for the researchers to test different kinds of lunar soil simulant? A．They wanted to find materials. B．The simulant is different from real lunar soil. C．The soil on the moon changes from place to place. D．They wanted to find the best basalt for the bricks. 69．What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A．Why lunar bricks need to be tested. B．How the lunar bricks were made. C．What the weather is like on the moon. D．How the lunar bricks were tested. 70．What can we learn about the lunar bricks from the text? A．They were tested in China’s space station. B．A base built by lunar bricks was made on Earth. C．Scientists had used five ways to harden the bricks. D．They will soon be used to build a lunar research station. 【答案】66．B 67．C 68．C 69．A 70．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了华中科技大学科学家们为在月球上建造基地而研发的“月壤砖”，包括其制造原理、结构特点、测试的必要性以及目前的进展。 66．细节理解题。根据第2段“Scientists at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology have developed ‘lunar bricks’. They hope to use the bricks to build a base on the moon.”可知，研发月球砖的目的是在月球上建造基地。故选B。 67．细节理解题。根据第3段“The bricks are three times stronger than normal bricks or red bricks. They also have mortise and tenon joint structures…”可知，这里的“They”指代前一句的主语“The bricks”，即“lunar bricks”。故选C。 68．细节理解题。根据第4段“Lunar soil isn’t the same everywhere on the moon… This helped them choose the best materials for making the bricks.”可知，因为月球上不同地方的土壤不同，所以需要测试不同种类的模拟月壤来挑选最佳材料。故选C。 69．主旨大意题。第5段主要说明月球砖需要经过充分测试的原因：月球环境恶劣，有月震、强辐射和极端温差。因此，本段主要讲的是为什么月球砖需要测试。故选A。 70．细节理解题。根据第6段“The lunar bricks were sent to China’s space station on the Tianzhou 8 spacecraft. There, scientists checked how well the bricks did in space.”可知，月球砖曾在中国的空间站接受测试。故选A。 Passage 15 （2026·福建三明·永安一模）Pencils are widely used in many areas, and there are marks on the pencils.
