专题02 阅读理解 （说明文+新媒体语篇） 主题01 人与社会-科技文化 Passage 1 （2026·河南周口·二模） Want to have better sleep? Train your brain for better sleep with 3 tips. ●Make a timetable, and keep to it. Melatonin (褪黑素) is produced to control the time of getting sleepy and waking up. As night comes, levels of melatonin rise, telling the body that it’s time for bed. Production of melatonin is stopped by light, so levels fall as daylight arrives, getting you ready to greet the day. To work properly, the production of melatonin needs to appear at regular (规律的) times. So if your bedtime and wake-up time change very often, your body doesn’t know how to react. ●Don’t lie in bed awake. Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up. Why is that so important? Because lying in bed awake can form a connection in your brain that can lead to long-term sleeplessness. So building a positive (积极的) relationship between the bed and sleep can be good for you. In this way, your bed has the power to help and allow you to fall asleep. ●Correct your feelings about sleep. Many people consider sleeping as the final thing in a busy day. They think it’s OK to sleep late. That perspective needs to be improved. See your sleep as the amount of time you need to set yourself up for a better tomorrow. Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep. So if you need to rise at 7 a.m. each day, you’d better go to bed at 11 p.m. Now you know when you have to stop and get ready to sleep. If you don’t stop, you might be more stressed the next day. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What happens to levels of melatonin when it is dark? A．They go up. B．They disappear. C．They stay the same. D．They become lower. 2．How can we get the melatonin in our bodies to work properly? A．By staying away from light. B．By sleeping in a comfortable bed. C．By doing some exercise before sleep. D．By having a regular bedtime and wake-up time. 3．Which of the following actions follows the text’s advice? A．Playing video games in bed until feeling sleepy. B．Thinking sleep is a waste of time when you are busy. C．Going to bed at 9 p.m. on weekdays but 1 a.m. on weekends. D．Getting out of bed to read a book after lying awake for 25 minutes. 4．Which of the following can take the place of “perspective” in the text? A．Habit. B．Problem. C．Thought. D．Choice. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Reasons for Sleeping Early B．Tips to Have Better Sleep C．Why We Need Enough Sleep D．How Melatonin Helps Us Sleep 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了改善睡眠的三个技巧，包括规律作息、不躺在床上清醒以及纠正对睡眠的看法。 1．第二段提到“As night comes, levels of melatonin rise, telling the body that it’s time for bed”，说明天黑时褪黑素水平会上升。 2．第二段提到“To work properly, the production of melatonin needs to appear at regular (规律的) times. So if your bedtime and wake-up time change very often, your body doesn’t know how to react”，说明要让体内的褪黑素正常工作，需要有规律的睡眠和起床时间。 3．第三段提到“Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up”，说明醒着躺在床上25分钟后起床看书符合文中建议。 4．第四段提到“Many people consider sleeping as the final thing in a busy day. They think it’s OK to sleep late. That perspective needs to be improved”，这里说很多人对睡眠的看法需要改进，说明“perspective”指的是“看法、观念”，与“Thought”意思相近。 5．文章主要围绕如何拥有更好睡眠给出建议，所以最佳标题是“Tips to Have Better Sleep”。 Passage 2 （2026·河南周口·二模） In the heart of Cambodia, the ancient temples of Angkor Wat have stood for hundreds of years as a great achievement of human creativity and skills. These old stone buildings are recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. However, these stone buildings have been damaged by nature for centuries. A wonderful change is now taking place, thanks to a team from China — the Angkor Conservation Team. The team, sent by the Chinese government, is a group of “cultural relic (遗迹) doctors” with a lot of experience. They use top technologies like 3D scanning and smart computer modeling to carefully study every small part and missing piece of the temples. “It’s like performing surgery (外科手术) on history,” says Dr. Li, the team leader. “We must be very careful and respect its historical design”. Besides the technology, what truly shines is the human connection. The Chinese experts have worked hand in hand with local Cambodian teams. They share knowledge and skills, building a bridge of friendship. A young Cambodian worker, Soriya, expressed her gratitude. “Learning from the Chinese team has not only given me the skills to protect our treasure but also made me proud to be part of this duty we all share.” This project is more than fixing stones. It’s about protecting a treasure that all humans share. It shows that the power of cultural protection can bring people from different countries together, giving new life to ancient wonders and passing on their stories to the next generations. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is the main task of the Chinese team at Angkor Wat? A．Protecting cultural relics. B．Showing 3D and AI tools. C．Building an international school. D．Performing difficult surgery. 2．What does the underlined word “gratitude” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Thanks. B．Surprise. C．Sadness. D．Kindness. 3．In which part of the magazine could we read the text? A．Business and Trade. B．Culture and Society. C．Sport and Life. D．Travel and Geography. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe Angkor Wat’s history. B．To introduce a Cambodian temple. C．To show Chinese team’s protection work. D．To explain technology growth in Cambodia. 5．What would be the best structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国政府派遣的“文物医生”团队在柬埔寨吴哥窟进行古迹修复工作的故事。文章介绍了他们使用先进技术进行修复，并与当地团队合作，不仅保护了世界文化遗产，也促进了两国人民之间的友谊。 1．第二段提到，这个团队是一群“文物医生”，他们使用3D扫描等技术仔细研究寺庙的每一个小部分和缺失的碎片，并引用了队长的话：“It’s like performing surgery on history... We must be very careful and respect its historical design.”。这些都表明他们的主要任务是保护文物。 2．第三段中，柬埔寨工人Soriya说：“Learning from the Chinese team has not only given me the skills to protect our treasure but also made me proud to be part of this duty we all share.”。从她积极、感激的话语中可以推断出，“gratitude”表达的是“感谢”之情。 3．本文的核心内容是关于文化遗产（吴哥窟）的保护以及国际合作，这属于“文化与社会”（Culture and Society）的范畴。 4．文章从吴哥窟的受损引出中国团队，然后详细介绍了中国团队的工作方式、技术以及他们与当地人的合作和友谊，最后总结了这个项目的重要意义。全文的重点在于展示中国团队的保护工作及其带来的积极影响。 5．文章的结构是：第一段：引出话题，介绍吴哥窟和中国团队的到来；第二段：详述中国团队的工作内容和技术手段；第三段：补充说明团队合作和人文交流方面；第四段：总结整个项目的深远意义。 因此，文章结构为“总-分-分-总”或“引出-详述-补充-总结”。 Passage 3 （2026·河南鹤壁·二模） February brings long and cold days, and it also gives us a small amount of hope. It means that we have survived (幸存) the cold temperatures of December and January and are waiting for March to welcome spring. What’s more, February doesn’t last too long. It’s two to three days shorter than every other month. But why does February only have 28 and sometimes 29 days? February’s 28 days dated back to (追溯到) the second king of Ancient Rome, Numa Pompilius. Before he became king, Rome’s calendar had just 10 months. It began in March and ended in December. The Romans didn’t give names to what is now January and February. This period was not important to them because it had nothing to do with the harvest. After Numa became king, he decided to make the calendar more accurate (精确的). His new calendar contained (包含) 355 days in a year. Two more months were also added to the end of the calendar: January and February. As the Romans thought even numbers were unlucky, Numa wanted to avoid having them in his calendar. As such, each month had either 29 or 31 days. But to reach 355 days, one month had to be an even number. February was chosen to be that unlucky month with 28 days. In 45 BCE, Julius Caesar asked an expert to create a new sun-based calendar. Ten days were added to each year: before seven months had 29 days; now, four of them had 30, and the other three had 31. However, the 28-day February stuck and never changed, except for a leap year (闰年)  once every four years. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How do people feel about February from Paragraph 1? A．It is the coldest and longest month. B．It gives people hope because spring is coming and it is short. C．It is an unlucky month without any festivals. D．It is not important because it has nothing to do with farming. 2．What was the main change King Numa Pompilius made to the Roman calendar? A．He made the calendar begin in January. B．He created a new sun-based calendar with 365 days. C．He changed all months to have either 30 or 31 days. D．He added the months of January and February to a 10-month calendar. 3．Which is “an even number” according to Paragraph 3? A．2. B．5. C．7. D．9. 4．What can we know about Julius Caesar’s new calendar from the text? A．It changed the names of the months. B．It made February have 29 days every year. C．It kept February as a 28-day month except for leap years. D．It completely changed the lengths of all months. 5．Which is the best title for the text? A．Why February is so short. B．Two Roman calendar changes. C．The story of the Roman holidays. D．Old beliefs and the Roman calendar. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍二月只有28天（闰年29天）的历史原因，从罗马古历法的演变到凯撒新历法的调整，解释其天数设定的背景。 1．第一段提到：“February brings...a small amount of hope...waiting for March to welcome spring...It’s two to three days shorter than every other month”，说明人们因二月预示春天到来且时间短而感到有希望。 2．第二段指出：“Before he became king, Rome’s calendar had just 10 months...Two more months were also added...January and February”，即Numa国王的主要改变是在10个月历法中增加了一月和二月。 3．第三段提到：“even numbers were unlucky...February was chosen to be that unlucky month with 28 days”，28是偶数，选项中“2”是偶数。 4．最后一段提到：“the 28-day February stuck and never changed, except for a leap year once every four years”，即凯撒新历法保留二月28天，仅闰年为29天。 5．文章核心围绕“二月为何天数少”展开，从罗马古历法到凯撒历法的调整，解释其天数设定的历史原因，最佳标题为“Why February is so short”。 Passage 4 （2026·河南驻马店·二模） Background: Historical films, often based on true events or people, tell stories from the past.

D．In a class discussion record. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇关于历史电影是否应该改编事实的辩论记录，呈现了不同学生对这一问题的不同观点。 1．文章开头明确说明：“Should filmmakers change facts to make their films enjoyable, or stick to the truth in their films?”，直接点明辩论的核心议题是“是否应更改历史事实”。 2．Amy的观点是：“Since history itself is interesting enough, there’s no need to change facts.”，她认为历史本身已经足够有趣，无需改动。 3．Alan指出：“Many people depend on films to learn about great people and countless events. If they’re changed, people won’t be able to tell what is true or what is made up.”，他担心人们依赖电影了解历史，一旦改动，就无法分辨真假。 4．Peter提出：“Some historical films cover events that lasted for months or even years, so filmmakers have to make some changes to show them in about two hours.”，他解释电影时长有限，必须把长时间的历史事件浓缩进约两小时中。 5．文章结构为“Cons”与“Pros”两栏，每个学生配有头像和简短发言，呈现的是一场有组织的课堂讨论场景，而非电影海报、历史教科书或科学报告。 主题02 人与自然-环境保护 Passage 1 （2026·河南驻马店·二模） As the life blood of Chinese culture, the Changjiang River has brought unique charm (魅力) to the world. It runs through China and brings many cities rich resources and beautiful sights. Among all these cities, Yichang in Hubei Province is a shining pearl. Yichang is well-known as the global capital of hydropower (水电). It is home to two famous dams (坝): the Gezhouba Dam, the first large dam on the Changjiang River, and the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest hydropower project. These two dams play an important role in China. Yichang covers only a small part of China’s land area. However, it provides clean electricity for most parts of our country. The sound of the dams isn’t just the running of machines. It is the green heartbeat of the Changjiang River. It stands for China’s efforts in developing low-carbon energy and protecting the Changjiang River’s ecology (生态). In recent years, the Changjiang River’s environment has improved greatly. The Changjiang finless porpoise (江豚) once nearly died out, but has made a great comeback. These “smiling angels of the Changjiang” gather in groups, playing happily in the river. Now, people can often see them in the Changjiang River and take photos of them. Besides its beautiful nature and great projects, Yichang also has a long cultural history. Over 2,300 years ago, the great poet Qu Yuan lived here and wrote his famous work Tian Wen. This great masterpiece shows the questioning and exploring spirit of Chinese people. What’s more, Changjiang’s oranges are popular around the world, carrying the city’s warmth to every corner of the globe. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What makes Yichang known as the global capital of hydropower?

A water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away. The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big. About 2.7 million tons of plastic are turned into bottles which are only used once each year. This requires a lot of oil and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it. This uses even more fossil fuels (化石燃料) and creates more pollution. Although the bottles can be recycled, only small part of them are. The US only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing waste problem. Convenience isn’t the only reason for bottled water to become popular. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems. But this is not true. In developed countries such as the US and some countries in Europe, laws about safe water is often stricter for tap water than for bottled water. It may come as a surprise that nearly 40 percent of the water bottled in the US starts from tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter (过滤) it, and they might add some things for taste. What’s more, bottled water can cost from 240 to 10,000 times more than tap water. “Back to the tap” activities start around the world. In order to save money, use fewer resources, and create less waste, they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water. San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy any bottled water. Companies are trying to improve, too. They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What’s the second paragraph mainly talking about? A．The difficulty of transporting the bottles. B．The advantages of bottled water. C．The ways to produce bottled water. D．The problem caused by bottled water. 2．Why is bottled water popular? A．Because people think it is the water from nature. B．Because people think it is convenient and safe. C．Because people think it is cheaper than tap water. D．Because people think it can prevent illnesses. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Fossil fuels. B．The bottles. C．Water systems. D．Greenhouse gases. 4．Which of the following is one of the “Back to the tap” activities? A．Stop producing bottled water. B．Support using tap water and reusable bottles. C．Use many resources and create much waste. D．Use many resources and create little waste. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．“Back to the tap” activities B．Tap water is much cleaner C．Let’s drink healthy water D．The water in the USA 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了瓶装水的便利性、其对环境造成的问题、流行的原因，以及“回归自来水”的环保倡议。 1．第二段开头提到“The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big.”，随后介绍了瓶装水带来的塑料污染、资源消耗、温室气体排放等问题，因此该段主要讲瓶装水造成的问题。 2．第一段提到瓶装水很方便，第三段提到“Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water”，可知瓶装水流行的原因是人们认为它方便且安全。 3．第二段提到“Although the bottles can be recycled, only small parts of them are.”，可知“them”指代前文的“the bottles”。 4．最后一段提到“they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water”，可知“回归自来水”活动的内容之一是支持使用自来水和可重复使用的瓶子。 5．文章围绕瓶装水的问题、真相以及“回归自来水”的倡议展开，核心是呼吁减少瓶装水使用、回归自来水，因此最佳标题对应“Back to the tap” activities。 主题01 人与社会-科技文化 Passage 1 （2026·河南驻马店·二模） Music can make us feel many different things. Some songs make us feel happy, while others make us feel sad or calm. Music can also remind us of special times in our lives. For example, we might remember a song that played on our birthdays, or when we first met a good friend. These songs become special because they are connected to our feelings and memories. But music doesn’t just help us remember. Scientists now think it might also change how we remember things. In a study, researchers asked people to read some short stories. These stories were not happy or sad—they were just normal. The next day, the people listened to happy music, sad music, or no music while they were asked to think about the stories again. While this happened, a machine called fMRI was used to see how their brains worked. On the third day, the people were asked to recall the same stories again, but without any music. The scientists wondered if the music had changed what people remembered. And it did. When people listened to happy music, they remembered the stories in a happier way. When they listened to sad music, they remembered the stories as sadder ones. Even without music, their memories stayed changed. The brain scans (扫描) showed that music made certain parts of the brain more active. These parts help us feel emotions (情感) and remember things. This means music can really change how we feel about our past. It doesn’t just help us remember—it changes the memory itself. This may explain why music from special times, like a wedding or a holiday, can make us feel strong emotions. Some scientists say music might one day help people who feel sad, such as people with depression (抑郁症). 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．Why does the writer mention songs from birthdays or first meeting friends? A．To say that people like music at parties. B．To show music makes people feel relaxed. C．To explain how music connects to memories. D．To tell people what songs to play on special days. 2．What does the underlined word “recall” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Pay back. B．Look back. C．Take back. D．Call back. 3．What can we learn from the researchers’ study? A．Music helps people forget bad things. B．Music always brings back old memories. C．Music makes normal stories easy to remember. D．Music can change how we feel about past events. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose of using some scientists’ words at the end of the text? A．To tell why music is important in life. B．To introduce a possible use of music in the future. C．To prove that music is the best treatment for depression. D．To encourage people to listen to music when they feel sad. 5．Which is the best title for the text? A．Music Speaks Feelings B．Music Improves Memory C．Music’s Role in Shaping Emotions D．Music’s Influence on Teen Mental Health 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了音乐与记忆、情感的联系，并通过一项科学研究，说明了音乐不仅能唤起记忆，还能改变我们对过往事件的记忆方式，甚至对未来的医疗应用也有潜在价值。 1．根据第一段“Music can also remind us of special times in our lives. For example, we might remember a song that played on our birthdays, or when we first met a good friend. These songs become special because they are connected to our feelings and memories.”，作者举生日、初次见朋友时的歌曲为例，是为了解释音乐如何与记忆联系起来。 2．根据上文“researchers asked people to read some short stories.”及“On the third day, the people were asked to recall the same stories again, but without any music.”，参与者第一天读了故事，第三天被要求再次回想这些故事，因此recall意思是“回忆、回想”，和Look back（回顾、回想）含义一致。 3．根据第三段“When people listened to happy music, they remembered the stories in a happier way. When they listened to sad music, they remembered the stories as sadder ones. Even without music, their memories stayed changed.” 和第四段“This means music can really change how we feel about our past.”，研究表明音乐能改变我们对过去事件的感受。 4．根据最后一段“Some scientists say music might one day help people who feel sad, such as people with depression.”，作者引用科学家的话，是为了介绍音乐未来可能的用途 —— 帮助抑郁症患者，属于对未来应用的展望。 5．全文围绕 “音乐如何改变我们对记忆的情感体验” 展开，既提到了音乐与情感的联系，也重点阐述了它对记忆的塑造作用，“Music’s Role in Shaping Emotions”最能概括文章主旨。 Passage 2 （2026·河南·二模） Do you know about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? It’s an old way to keep people healthy in China, with a history of thousands of years. TCM doctors often check your tongue (舌头), give you herbs (草药), or use acupoints (穴位) to treat illnesses. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is helping TCM work better. AI is smart — it can learn and think like humans, and we can see it in computers and robots. Let’s see how AI helps with TCM herbs first. TCM doctors give people bags of different herbs. People need to boil the herbs in water to make a drink, but it’s hard to get the right temperature and time. A small mistake makes the medicine less useful. But AI machines can solve this problem. They read doctors’ prescriptions (处方) and boil herbs in the right way. They control the temperature perfectly, so the medicine is always good. This saves people a lot of time. AI robots also help with moxibustion (艾灸), a special TCM treatment. Doctors use warmth from burning herbs near your skin to reach acupoints. Finding the right acupoints is very important. AI robots have smart eyes—they can find acupoints quickly. Their arms are steady (稳定的) and never shake, making the treatment safe. AI is not here to take the place of TCM doctors. Doctors are still the most important. AI is just a “super assistant” that helps doctors work faster and better, making TCM treatments more efficient for everyone. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．According to the text, what are the three ways TCM doctors treat illnesses? A．Checking tongues, using AI, and boiling herbs. B．Checking tongues, giving herbs, and using acupoints. C．Using robots, finding acupoints, and making medicine. D．Giving prescriptions, using AI, and doing moxibustion. 2．How does AI help with TCM herbs according to the text? A．AI explains doctors’ prescriptions to patients. B．AI chooses herbs with high quality. C．AI reminds people to take TCM medicine on time. D．AI boils herbs with perfect temperature and time. 3．Why does the writer mention “a small mistake” in Paragraph 2? A．To show that boiling herbs is easy. B．To explain why people don’t like TCM. C．To tell why AI machines are helpful. D．To describe how doctors check tongues. 4．Why are AI robots good at doing moxibustion? A．Because they can burn herbs faster. B．Because they have smart eyes and steady arms. C．Because they can work longer time and don’t get tired. D．Because they know more about acupoints than doctors. 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．The Long History of TCM B．How to Boil Herbs at Home C．AI: A New Helper for TCM D．Robots That Can Find Acupoints 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能如何帮助传统中医提高工作效率和治疗安全性。 1．根据第一段中“TCM doctors often check your tongue (舌头), give you herbs (草药), or use acupoints (穴位) to treat illnesses.”可知，中医医生经常通过检查舌头，开草药，或者用穴位来治疗疾病。 2．根据第二段和第三段内容可知，普通人熬草药很难掌控合适的温度和时间，而AI机器可以完美控制温度、按正确方式熬药。 3．第二段提到普通人熬草药时，一个小错误就会降低药效，紧接着第三段说明AI机器可以解决这个问题，因此提到“小错误”是为了引出AI机器的作用，说明AI为什么有用。 4．根据第四段中“AI robots have smart eyes—they can find acupoints quickly. Their arms are steady (稳定的) and never shake, making the treatment safe.”可知，AI机器人做艾灸的优势是：有“智能眼睛”能快速找穴位，手臂稳定不抖动。 5．全文围绕“人工智能如何帮助中医更好地工作”展开，最后也点明AI是中医的超级助手，因此最佳标题是AI: A New Helper for TCM（人工智能：中医的新帮手）。 Passage 3 （2026·河南周口·二模） People may experience culture shock when they’re suddenly in a new culture or environment. Culture shock usually has four stages (阶段). During the first stage, a person feels excited. But this excitement often doesn’t last long. It can quickly turn into frustration (沮丧) because of cultural and language differences. In the next stage, a person might have trouble with the local language or feel upset because they can’t communicate in their own language. This can lead to feelings of isolation (孤立) and loneliness. The good news is that this stage will slowly pass into the third stage—adjustment (适应). Adjustment can be hard, but it’s an important part of adapting to a new culture. It takes time and patience, but it’s worth the effort. If you decide to make the best of your situation, you will adjust. And finally, you will enter the last stage of culture shock. Once a person can accept the new culture and environment, the excitement often returns. You might even start to feel like the new place is your home. Understanding these stages can help you manage your expectations. ________________. ·Keep an open mind. When you learn about the new country, being open to new experiences can help cut down feelings of frustration. ·Learn the local language. This can help you communicate and connect with others.

They named it the “poison (毒药) apple” and thought it could make people sick or even lead to death. This idea was so widely accepted that for almost 200 years, tomatoes were grown mainly as pretty garden plants rather than for food. Later on, some brave farmers and cooks found out that the juicy and delicious part of the tomato was completely safe to eat. Thanks to explorers and traders, the tomato finally spread all over the world. But why was it once thought to be poisonous? Tomatoes are part of the Solanaceae family, which also includes potatoes, eggplants, and peppers. Some plants in this family make a natural chemical called solanine (龙葵素). In tomatoes, solanine is mostly found in the leaves, stems, and green, unripe (不成熟的) fruit—not in the ripe red tomatoes that we eat. If you eat a lot of solanine, you might get a headache or stomachache. However, you would need to eat a large amount of green leaves to feel any bad effects. Why does the tomato plant make solanine? Nature made it this way for protection! When insects or animals try to eat its leaves, the taste and slight toxicity (轻微毒性) tell them to stay away. This helps the plant grow well and produce more bright red tomatoes. Don’t worry. Ripe tomatoes are not only safe but also good for you. They are sweet, juicy, and full of vitamins (维生素). People now use tomatoes in salads, soups, sauces, and even drinks. It’s one of the most well-liked fruits in the world today (scientifically, it is a fruit!). So, the next time you enjoy ketchup (番茄酱) or a fresh tomato salad, remember: its trip to your plate wasn’t always simple. But today, this once “dangerous” fruit has become a tasty and healthy friend. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．Why does the writer mention the story in the first paragraph? A．To suggest people should try new things. B．To lead into the introduction of tomatoes. C．To prove that tomatoes are delicious fruits. D．To show the history of growing tomatoes in Europe. 2．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．It describes the natural growth of tomato plants. B．It discusses the difference between ripe and unripe tomatoes. C．It offers the scientific reason why tomatoes were once feared. D．It introduces all the members that belong to the tomato plant family. 3．Why does the tomato plant produce solanine? A．To keep itself safe. B．To help itself grow faster. C．To make its fruit taste sweeter. D．To change the fruit’s color when ripe. 4．What does the example of ketchup in the last paragraph mainly try to tell us? A．Eating ketchup is the best way to enjoy tomatoes. B．Tomatoes can be made into different kinds of food. C．Tomatoes are more popular in sauces than in salads. D．People have totally changed their ideas about tomatoes. 5．Which is the best title for the text? A．The Science About Tomatoes B．From Poison to Popular Food C．The History of European Food D．How to Grow Tomatoes Safely 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了西红柿曾被欧洲人视为毒药，后被发现其成熟果实可安全食用并风靡全球，文章还解释了西红柿曾被认为有毒的原因及西红柿产生龙葵素的作用，最后指出如今西红柿已成为受欢迎的健康食物。 1．第一段讲述许多欧洲人害怕西红柿，称其为“毒苹果”，认为它会使人生病甚至死亡，西红柿主要被当作观赏植物而非食物，结合后文对西红柿的介绍可知，作者提及这个故事是为了引出对西红柿的介绍。 2．第二段指出西红柿属于茄科，该科一些植物会产生龙葵素，在西红柿中，龙葵素主要存在于叶子、茎和未成熟的绿色果实中，而非我们食用的成熟红色西红柿，并说明了食用大量龙葵素可能产生的影响，可知本段主要说明了西红柿曾被恐惧的科学原因。 3．第三段指出“Nature made it this way for protection! When insects or animals try to eat its leaves, the taste and slight toxicity tell them to stay away.”，说明西红柿产生龙葵素是为了保护自己。 4．最后一段提到“So, the next time you enjoy ketchup or a fresh tomato salad, remember: its trip to your plate wasn’t always simple. But today, this once ‘dangerous’ fruit has become a tasty and healthy friend.”，说明人们曾经认为西红柿是危险的，现在却将其视为美味健康的朋友，可知番茄酱的例子主要是为了说明人们对西红柿的看法已完全改变。 5．文章介绍了西红柿曾被视为毒药，后被发现可安全食用并风靡全球，可知“From Poison to Popular Food”作为标题最合适。 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题02 阅读理解 （说明文+新媒体语篇） 主题01 人与社会-科技文化 Passage 1 （2026·河南周口·二模） Want to have better sleep? Train your brain for better sleep with 3 tips. ●Make a timetable, and keep to it. Melatonin (褪黑素) is produced to control the time of getting sleepy and waking up. As night comes, levels of melatonin rise, telling the body that it’s time for bed. Production of melatonin is stopped by light, so levels fall as daylight arrives, getting you ready to greet the day. To work properly, the production of melatonin needs to appear at regular (规律的) times. So if your bedtime and wake-up time change very often, your body doesn’t know how to react. ●Don’t lie in bed awake. Whether it’s the beginning of the night or the middle of the night, if you’ve been awake for 20 or 30 minutes, get up. Why is that so important? Because lying in bed awake can form a connection in your brain that can lead to long-term sleeplessness. So building a positive (积极的) relationship between the bed and sleep can be good for you. In this way, your bed has the power to help and allow you to fall asleep. ●Correct your feelings about sleep. Many people consider sleeping as the final thing in a busy day. They think it’s OK to sleep late. That perspective needs to be improved. See your sleep as the amount of time you need to set yourself up for a better tomorrow. Most adults need seven to eight hours of sleep. So if you need to rise at 7 a.m. each day, you’d better go to bed at 11 p.m. Now you know when you have to stop and get ready to sleep. If you don’t stop, you might be more stressed the next day. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What happens to levels of melatonin when it is dark? A．They go up. B．They disappear. C．They stay the same. D．They become lower. 2．How can we get the melatonin in our bodies to work properly? A．By staying away from light. B．By sleeping in a comfortable bed. C．By doing some exercise before sleep. D．By having a regular bedtime and wake-up time. 3．Which of the following actions follows the text’s advice? A．Playing video games in bed until feeling sleepy. B．Thinking sleep is a waste of time when you are busy. C．Going to bed at 9 p.m. on weekdays but 1 a.m. on weekends. D．Getting out of bed to read a book after lying awake for 25 minutes. 4．Which of the following can take the place of “perspective” in the text? A．Habit. B．Problem. C．Thought. D．Choice. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．Reasons for Sleeping Early B．Tips to Have Better Sleep C．Why We Need Enough Sleep D．How Melatonin Helps Us Sleep Passage 2 （2026·河南周口·二模） In the heart of Cambodia, the ancient temples of Angkor Wat have stood for hundreds of years as a great achievement of human creativity and skills. These old stone buildings are recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. However, these stone buildings have been damaged by nature for centuries. A wonderful change is now taking place, thanks to a team from China — the Angkor Conservation Team. The team, sent by the Chinese government, is a group of “cultural relic (遗迹) doctors” with a lot of experience. They use top technologies like 3D scanning and smart computer modeling to carefully study every small part and missing piece of the temples. “It’s like performing surgery (外科手术) on history,” says Dr. Li, the team leader. “We must be very careful and respect its historical design”. Besides the technology, what truly shines is the human connection. The Chinese experts have worked hand in hand with local Cambodian teams. They share knowledge and skills, building a bridge of friendship. A young Cambodian worker, Soriya, expressed her gratitude. “Learning from the Chinese team has not only given me the skills to protect our treasure but also made me proud to be part of this duty we all share.” This project is more than fixing stones. It’s about protecting a treasure that all humans share. It shows that the power of cultural protection can bring people from different countries together, giving new life to ancient wonders and passing on their stories to the next generations. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What is the main task of the Chinese team at Angkor Wat?

D．Travel and Geography. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe Angkor Wat’s history. B．To introduce a Cambodian temple. C．To show Chinese team’s protection work. D．To explain technology growth in Cambodia. 5．What would be the best structure of the text? A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （2026·河南鹤壁·二模） February brings long and cold days, and it also gives us a small amount of hope. It means that we have survived (幸存) the cold temperatures of December and January and are waiting for March to welcome spring. What’s more, February doesn’t last too long. It’s two to three days shorter than every other month. But why does February only have 28 and sometimes 29 days? February’s 28 days dated back to (追溯到) the second king of Ancient Rome, Numa Pompilius. Before he became king, Rome’s calendar had just 10 months. It began in March and ended in December. The Romans didn’t give names to what is now January and February. This period was not important to them because it had nothing to do with the harvest. After Numa became king, he decided to make the calendar more accurate (精确的). His new calendar contained (包含) 355 days in a year. Two more months were also added to the end of the calendar: January and February. As the Romans thought even numbers were unlucky, Numa wanted to avoid having them in his calendar. As such, each month had either 29 or 31 days. But to reach 355 days, one month had to be an even number. February was chosen to be that unlucky month with 28 days. In 45 BCE, Julius Caesar asked an expert to create a new sun-based calendar. Ten days were added to each year: before seven months had 29 days; now, four of them had 30, and the other three had 31. However, the 28-day February stuck and never changed, except for a leap year (闰年)  once every four years. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．How do people feel about February from Paragraph 1? A．It is the coldest and longest month. B．It gives people hope because spring is coming and it is short. C．It is an unlucky month without any festivals. D．It is not important because it has nothing to do with farming. 2．What was the main change King Numa Pompilius made to the Roman calendar? A．He made the calendar begin in January. B．He created a new sun-based calendar with 365 days. C．He changed all months to have either 30 or 31 days. D．He added the months of January and February to a 10-month calendar. 3．Which is “an even number” according to Paragraph 3? A．2. B．5. C．7. D．9. 4．What can we know about Julius Caesar’s new calendar from the text? A．It changed the names of the months. B．It made February have 29 days every year. C．It kept February as a 28-day month except for leap years. D．It completely changed the lengths of all months. 5．Which is the best title for the text? A．Why February is so short. B．Two Roman calendar changes. C．The story of the Roman holidays. D．Old beliefs and the Roman calendar.

It runs through China and brings many cities rich resources and beautiful sights. Among all these cities, Yichang in Hubei Province is a shining pearl. Yichang is well-known as the global capital of hydropower (水电). It is home to two famous dams (坝): the Gezhouba Dam, the first large dam on the Changjiang River, and the Three Gorges Dam, the world’s largest hydropower project. These two dams play an important role in China. Yichang covers only a small part of China’s land area. However, it provides clean electricity for most parts of our country. The sound of the dams isn’t just the running of machines. It is the green heartbeat of the Changjiang River. It stands for China’s efforts in developing low-carbon energy and protecting the Changjiang River’s ecology (生态). In recent years, the Changjiang River’s environment has improved greatly. The Changjiang finless porpoise (江豚) once nearly died out, but has made a great comeback. These “smiling angels of the Changjiang” gather in groups, playing happily in the river. Now, people can often see them in the Changjiang River and take photos of them. Besides its beautiful nature and great projects, Yichang also has a long cultural history. Over 2,300 years ago, the great poet Qu Yuan lived here and wrote his famous work Tian Wen. This great masterpiece shows the questioning and exploring spirit of Chinese people. What’s more, Changjiang’s oranges are popular around the world, carrying the city’s warmth to every corner of the globe. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What makes Yichang known as the global capital of hydropower?

It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away. The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is very big. About 2.7 million tons of plastic are turned into bottles which are only used once each year. This requires a lot of oil and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Bottled water is often carried for long distances to reach people who buy it. This uses even more fossil fuels (化石燃料) and creates more pollution. Although the bottles can be recycled, only small part of them are. The US only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing waste problem. Convenience isn’t the only reason for bottled water to become popular. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and healthier than tap water from public water systems. But this is not true. In developed countries such as the US and some countries in Europe, laws about safe water is often stricter for tap water than for bottled water. It may come as a surprise that nearly 40 percent of the water bottled in the US starts from tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter (过滤) it, and they might add some things for taste. What’s more, bottled water can cost from 240 to 10,000 times more than tap water. “Back to the tap” activities start around the world. In order to save money, use fewer resources, and create less waste, they support using tap water and reusable bottles rather than bottled water. San Francisco and other cities across the United States no longer allow their government departments to buy any bottled water. Companies are trying to improve, too. They have reduced the use of plastic in their bottles. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．What’s the second paragraph mainly talking about? A．The difficulty of transporting the bottles. B．The advantages of bottled water. C．The ways to produce bottled water. D．The problem caused by bottled water. 2．Why is bottled water popular? A．Because people think it is the water from nature. B．Because people think it is convenient and safe. C．Because people think it is cheaper than tap water. D．Because people think it can prevent illnesses. 3．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Fossil fuels. B．The bottles. C．Water systems. D．Greenhouse gases. 4．Which of the following is one of the “Back to the tap” activities? A．Stop producing bottled water. B．Support using tap water and reusable bottles. C．Use many resources and create much waste. D．Use many resources and create little waste. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．“Back to the tap” activities B．Tap water is much cleaner C．Let’s drink healthy water D．The water in the USA 主题01 人与社会-科技文化 Passage 1 （2026·河南驻马店·二模） Music can make us feel many different things. Some songs make us feel happy, while others make us feel sad or calm. Music can also remind us of special times in our lives. For example, we might remember a song that played on our birthdays, or when we first met a good friend. These songs become special because they are connected to our feelings and memories. But music doesn’t just help us remember. Scientists now think it might also change how we remember things. In a study, researchers asked people to read some short stories. These stories were not happy or sad—they were just normal. The next day, the people listened to happy music, sad music, or no music while they were asked to think about the stories again. While this happened, a machine called fMRI was used to see how their brains worked. On the third day, the people were asked to recall the same stories again, but without any music. The scientists wondered if the music had changed what people remembered. And it did. When people listened to happy music, they remembered the stories in a happier way. When they listened to sad music, they remembered the stories as sadder ones. Even without music, their memories stayed changed. The brain scans (扫描) showed that music made certain parts of the brain more active. These parts help us feel emotions (情感) and remember things. This means music can really change how we feel about our past. It doesn’t just help us remember—it changes the memory itself. This may explain why music from special times, like a wedding or a holiday, can make us feel strong emotions. Some scientists say music might one day help people who feel sad, such as people with depression (抑郁症). 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．Why does the writer mention songs from birthdays or first meeting friends? A．To say that people like music at parties. B．To show music makes people feel relaxed. C．To explain how music connects to memories. D．To tell people what songs to play on special days. 2．What does the underlined word “recall” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Pay back. B．Look back. C．Take back. D．Call back. 3．What can we learn from the researchers’ study? A．Music helps people forget bad things. B．Music always brings back old memories. C．Music makes normal stories easy to remember. D．Music can change how we feel about past events. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose of using some scientists’ words at the end of the text? A．To tell why music is important in life. B．To introduce a possible use of music in the future. C．To prove that music is the best treatment for depression. D．To encourage people to listen to music when they feel sad. 5．Which is the best title for the text? A．Music Speaks Feelings B．Music Improves Memory C．Music’s Role in Shaping Emotions D．Music’s Influence on Teen Mental Health Passage 2 （2026·河南·二模） Do you know about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? It’s an old way to keep people healthy in China, with a history of thousands of years. TCM doctors often check your tongue (舌头), give you herbs (草药), or use acupoints (穴位) to treat illnesses. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is helping TCM work better. AI is smart — it can learn and think like humans, and we can see it in computers and robots. Let’s see how AI helps with TCM herbs first. TCM doctors give people bags of different herbs. People need to boil the herbs in water to make a drink, but it’s hard to get the right temperature and time. A small mistake makes the medicine less useful. But AI machines can solve this problem. They read doctors’ prescriptions (处方) and boil herbs in the right way. They control the temperature perfectly, so the medicine is always good. This saves people a lot of time. AI robots also help with moxibustion (艾灸), a special TCM treatment. Doctors use warmth from burning herbs near your skin to reach acupoints. Finding the right acupoints is very important. AI robots have smart eyes—they can find acupoints quickly. Their arms are steady (稳定的) and never shake, making the treatment safe. AI is not here to take the place of TCM doctors. Doctors are still the most important. AI is just a “super assistant” that helps doctors work faster and better, making TCM treatments more efficient for everyone. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．According to the text, what are the three ways TCM doctors treat illnesses? A．Checking tongues, using AI, and boiling herbs. B．Checking tongues, giving herbs, and using acupoints. C．Using robots, finding acupoints, and making medicine. D．Giving prescriptions, using AI, and doing moxibustion. 2．How does AI help with TCM herbs according to the text? A．AI explains doctors’ prescriptions to patients. B．AI chooses herbs with high quality. C．AI reminds people to take TCM medicine on time. D．AI boils herbs with perfect temperature and time. 3．Why does the writer mention “a small mistake” in Paragraph 2? A．To show that boiling herbs is easy. B．To explain why people don’t like TCM. C．To tell why AI machines are helpful. D．To describe how doctors check tongues. 4．Why are AI robots good at doing moxibustion? A．Because they can burn herbs faster. B．Because they have smart eyes and steady arms. C．Because they can work longer time and don’t get tired. D．Because they know more about acupoints than doctors. 5．What would be the best title for the text? A．The Long History of TCM B．How to Boil Herbs at Home C．AI: A New Helper for TCM D．Robots That Can Find Acupoints Passage 3 （2026·河南周口·二模） People may experience culture shock when they’re suddenly in a new culture or environment. Culture shock usually has four stages (阶段). During the first stage, a person feels excited. But this excitement often doesn’t last long. It can quickly turn into frustration (沮丧) because of cultural and language differences. In the next stage, a person might have trouble with the local language or feel upset because they can’t communicate in their own language. This can lead to feelings of isolation (孤立) and loneliness. The good news is that this stage will slowly pass into the third stage—adjustment (适应). Adjustment can be hard, but it’s an important part of adapting to a new culture. It takes time and patience, but it’s worth the effort. If you decide to make the best of your situation, you will adjust. And finally, you will enter the last stage of culture shock. Once a person can accept the new culture and environment, the excitement often returns. You might even start to feel like the new place is your home. Understanding these stages can help you manage your expectations. ________________. ·Keep an open mind. When you learn about the new country, being open to new experiences can help cut down feelings of frustration. ·Learn the local language. This can help you communicate and connect with others.

They named it the “poison (毒药) apple” and thought it could make people sick or even lead to death. This idea was so widely accepted that for almost 200 years, tomatoes were grown mainly as pretty garden plants rather than for food. Later on, some brave farmers and cooks found out that the juicy and delicious part of the tomato was completely safe to eat. Thanks to explorers and traders, the tomato finally spread all over the world. But why was it once thought to be poisonous? Tomatoes are part of the Solanaceae family, which also includes potatoes, eggplants, and peppers. Some plants in this family make a natural chemical called solanine (龙葵素). In tomatoes, solanine is mostly found in the leaves, stems, and green, unripe (不成熟的) fruit—not in the ripe red tomatoes that we eat. If you eat a lot of solanine, you might get a headache or stomachache. However, you would need to eat a large amount of green leaves to feel any bad effects. Why does the tomato plant make solanine? Nature made it this way for protection! When insects or animals try to eat its leaves, the taste and slight toxicity (轻微毒性) tell them to stay away. This helps the plant grow well and produce more bright red tomatoes. Don’t worry. Ripe tomatoes are not only safe but also good for you. They are sweet, juicy, and full of vitamins (维生素). People now use tomatoes in salads, soups, sauces, and even drinks. It’s one of the most well-liked fruits in the world today (scientifically, it is a fruit!).
