专题06 阅读理解之说明文15篇（深圳专用） （精选中考模拟热点话题） One morning at Taishan Mountain in Shandong, a four-legged robot was climbing the challenging part. While people were tired and out of breath, this clever robot moved easily around the crowds and carried a 120kg bag. Used by a company under the local tourism group, this AI robot helps clean up tourist waste and carry things. With 8 million visitors every year, Taishan has 24,000 tons of waste. Cleaning it by hand is expensive and dangerous. A company worker said, “The robot can climb mountains and cross water while carrying things. It makes the work much easier and faster.” Over the past few years, there has been a growing number of AI robots. In the robot market, human-like robots sell well, and they are getting more and more popular. Scientists say the market will grow a lot. By 2025, the sales of China’s human-like robots have reached 5.3 billion yuan. By 2029, it could be 75 billion yuan, which would be 32.7% of the world’s sales. The government is helping a lot. These robots are no longer just for fun but are becoming practical. Cities like Chongqing and Shenzhen are spending money on projects about AI that can deal with the real world. AI robots are helping people in many ways. In Chongqing, a 70-year-old person who had a stroke (中风) could move again with the help of a wearable AI robot. AI robots are also reshaping the idea of toys and pets. For example, Sirus is a small robot dog. It can dance, follow orders and move like a real dog. It’s very popular because it can interact with people. The small, smart, four-legged robot can even understand and answer people’s orders. From cleaning up rubbish on mountains to being family pets, helping the old and being fun toys, AI robots are slowly becoming part of people’s lives. As one scientist said, this is not just about new technology. It’s about meeting people’s needs. 1．What can the robot do on Taishan Mountain? A．Help with waste cleanup. B．Guide hikers along the way. C．Make people walk faster. D．Bring tourists fun by dancing. 2．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．Humans will face danger with the rising sales of AI robots. B．The market for human-like robots in China has a bright future. C．Human-like robots are mainly used for fun in China. D．The growth of AI robots depends only on the government’s support. 3．How does the writer show that AI robots are helping people’s lives? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By comparing things. 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “interact”? A．communicate B．work C．develop D．live 5．What may be the best title of the passage? A．AI Robots—New Roles around us B．AI Robots—Fun Toys in Life C．AI Robots—Helpers in Taishan Mountain D．AI Robots—Past and Present 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍山东泰山四足机器人的工作用途、我国人形机器人市场发展前景，以及人工智能机器人在生活、医疗、休闲娱乐等多方面的应用，说明AI机器人正逐渐融入日常生活、满足人们生活需求。 【详解】1．第二段提到“this AI robot helps clean up tourist waste and carry things”，可知泰山机器人可以帮忙清理垃圾。 2．第三段给出2025、2029年人形机器人市场销售额数据，市场规模大幅增长、占全球销量比重高，能推断出中国人形机器人市场前景广阔。 3．文章列举泰山清洁机器人、重庆康复AI机器人、机器狗Sirus等多个事例，来证明AI机器人助力人们生活，属于giving examples举例子。 4．由机器狗会跳舞、听从指令、像真狗一样活动，还能听懂并回应人的指令，可判断interact意为“交流互动”，和communicate同义。 5．文章既讲泰山工作机器人、市场发展，又讲医疗辅助、宠物玩具等新用途，核心是AI机器人在生活中拥有各类新角色，最佳标题为AI Robots—New Roles around us。 Among the usual sounds of office work, a familiar sound of coffee machines fills the air in a government service hall in Huai’an, Jiangsu. The noise comes from a special “silent coffee shop” where workers use sign language and warm smiles to serve customers. Created to provide jobs for people with disabilities, this coffee shop has brought new career hope to people with hearing problems. The shop runs smoothly with modern technology. Customers order on their phones, so talking is seldom needed. For last-minute changes, computers with voice-recognition tools and writing boards make it easy for workers and customers to understand each other. Even when the shop is busy, the ordering works well. For workers with disabilities, this project has truly changed their lives. Wang Jiali is a 39-year-old woman who has serious hearing loss. She first discovered the shop while visiting the government hall two years ago. With no experience of making coffee, she was trained from the start and now she makes up to 200 drinks daily. “The job has helped me build courage and improved my communication skills,” she said. Her change from living in a quiet world to confidently serving customers shows the project’s biggest success. This project succeeds because of the joint effort between the government and business. Wang Xian, the coffee shop manager, got the idea from her relatives with hearing problems and left her job to start this shop. The government provides the space for free and pays for water and electricity. So far, more than 20 people with disabilities have received training at the shop. Eight of them are now skilled at making coffee. The project is planned to help even more people in the future. The project’s influence goes beyond creating jobs. By placing the coffee shop in a government building which is often visited by citizens, it helps reshape public understanding of what people with disabilities can achieve. 1．What is special about this silent coffee shop? A．It is inside a quiet government hall. B．Workers there have difficulty hearing. C．People are required to keep silent there. D．The coffee machines make no noise at work. 2．How can customers change their orders at the last minute? A．By talking to workers face to face. B．By ordering on their phones again. C．With computers and writing boards. D．With sign language and warm smiles. 3．Why does the author mention Wang Jiali’s story in paragraph 3? A．To show the coffee-making skills of the disabled. B．To prove the project has brought positive changes. C．To advise more disabled people to work in the shop. D．To tell the reasons for the silent coffee shop’s success. 4．What does the local government do to support the project? A．It offers a free place and covers part of the cost. B．It finds business to help people with disabilities. C．It provides training for workers with disabilities. D．It encourages more workers to improve their skills. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How modern technology is used in a silent coffee shop. B．How a coffee shop project helps people with disabilities. C．How the disabled can start a shop with government’s help. D．How workers with disabilities learn to make coffee in Huai’an. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了江苏淮安一家特殊的无声咖啡店，店内员工多为听力障碍人士，依托现代技术运营，在政府和企业合力支持下为残障人士提供就业岗位、改变生活，同时也改变了公众对残障人士能力的认知。 1．第一段指出店铺特点：“workers use sign language and warm smiles to serve customers”，这直接说明这家无声咖啡店的员工用手语和微笑为顾客服务，专为残障人士提供工作岗位。 2．第二段说明运营方式：“computers with voice-recognition tools and writing boards make it easy for workers and customers to understand each other”，依靠手机点单、语音识别电脑和写字板辅助，店铺无需过多言语就能顺畅经营。 3．第三段举例说明：“The job has helped me build courage and improved my communication skills”，以王佳丽为例，体现这份工作给残障员工带来了勇气和沟通能力的提升。 4．第四段说明成功原因：“The government provides the space for free and pays for water and electricity”，政府免费提供场地并承担水电费用，政企合力助力咖啡店项目发展。 5．最后一段点明意义：“it helps reshape public understanding of what people with disabilities can achieve”，说明该项目不仅创造就业，还改变了公众对残障人士能力的看法。 Zhang Xuefeng, a prominent Chinese postgraduate entrance examination tutor known for his high-energy lectures and motivational style, died of sudden cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) on March 24, after collapsing while running in Suzhou, Jiangsu province. He was 41. Zhang had reportedly finished 72 kilometers of running this month. His death highlights how even physically active individuals can remain vulnerable (脆弱的) to hidden cardiovascular (心血管的) risks. Specialists recommend that those experiencing unusual fatigue (疲乏) or breathlessness during exercise seek medical attention immediately. Doctors say the body often sends warning signals before a deadly event. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that more than half of patients experience symptoms (症状) within the 24 hours preceding the event, such as chest pain or extreme fatigue. “These symptoms are often the body’s last warning,” said Zhang Ling, an internist at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing. “But many people dismiss them as simple fatigue.” Zhang noted that lifestyle changes linked to China’s rapid economic development—including diets high in processed food, long working hours, and long - term lack of sleep—have increased cardiovascular burden. She cautioned that intense exercise can be dangerous when the body is already severely fatigued. “Heart disease is no longer just an elderly person’s problem,” said Zhou Dongchen, a physician at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. “We are seeing a clear shift toward younger age groups, particularly middle-aged men.” Because over 90 percent of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside of hospitals, Zhang Ling emphasized the necessity of emergency preparedness. “In cardiac arrest, the first few minutes are critical,” she said. “Immediate CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) can make the difference between life and death.” 1．Why does the writer mention Zhang Xuefeng’s case at the beginning? A．To broaden the readers’ horizons B．To make a comparison C．To stress the writer’s opinion D．To give an example 2．What do specialists advise people to do if they feel unusual fatigue during exercise? A．Keep exercising B．Ask for medical help at once C．Drink more water D．Have a short sleep 3．What does the underlined word “dismiss” probably mean? A．fire B．ignore C．refuse D．discharge 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned to increase cardiovascular burden? A．Diets high in processed food B．Long working hours C．Long-term lack of sleep D．Doing too much light exercise 5．Which of the following proverbs best reflects the main message of the article? A．“No pain, no gain.” B．“A warning is better than punishment.” C．“You can’t judge a book by its cover.” D．“Health is not valued till sickness comes.” 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，由张雪峰运动中突发心脏骤停去世的事件切入，介绍了心血管疾病年轻化的趋势、相关诱因与预警信号，强调了重视身体预警、及时就医和掌握急救技能的重要性。 1．文章开篇讲述张雪峰运动时突发心搏骤停去世的事件，以此引出后文 “看似健康的人也可能存在隐藏的心血管风险” 的核心观点，用具体案例支撑并强调作者观点。 2． 根据原文第2段“Specialists recommend that those experiencing unusual fatigue or breathlessness during exercise seek medical attention immediately”可知，专家建议运动中出现异常疲劳时要立即就医。   3．根据原文第3段“These symptoms are often the body's last warning... But many people dismiss them as simple fatigue”可知，身体的不适症状是最后的预警，但很多人把这些症状当作单纯的疲劳而忽视了，“dismiss”在此处意为“忽视”。 4． 根据原文第4段“lifestyle changes...including diets high in processed food, long working hours, and long-term lack of sleep—have increased cardiovascular burden”可知，文中提到的增加心血管负担的因素有高加工食品饮食、长时间工作、长期睡眠不足，未提及“过多轻度运动”。   5．文章通过案例和分析，呼吁人们重视心血管健康，不要忽视身体的预警信号，传达了“病来方知健康贵”的警示，“Health is not valued till sickness comes”契合文章主旨。 “He Hua Shen” was a very popular show at the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Short video apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels have become a big part of teenagers’ lives around the world. These platforms allow users to create, edit, and share videos that are usually 15 to 60 seconds long. They offer everything from dance challenges and science experiments to language learning tips and news updates. For many students, short videos are not just entertainment (娱乐)—they’re also a way to express themselves, learn new skills, and connect with friends. However, experts are studying how these apps affect young people. One recent survey found that the average teenager spends about 90 minutes daily watching short videos. While some content is educational, spending too much time scrolling (刷屏) can reduce time for homework, sports or sleep. Another worry is that algorithms (运算法则) might show users only what they like, creating “information bubbles” that limit what they see. To use short video apps wisely, here are some suggestions: ※ Set a daily time limit (for example, 30 minutes). ※ Follow accounts (账号) that teach useful skills or share positive stories. ※ Be careful about sharing personal information. ※ Remember that many videos show only the highlights of someone’s life, not the whole picture. The key is balance. Short videos can be a fun tool for relaxation and learning if used mindfully. As one middle school teacher said, “Technology itself isn’t good or bad, it’s how we choose to use it that matters.” 1．According to the passage, how long are most short videos on apps like TikTok?

B．Follow educational or positive accounts. C．Never share any personal information online. D．Remember that videos may not show real life completely. 5．What can we learn from the teacher’s words in the last paragraph? A．Technology always brings trouble.

Canada followed with 210, and host Italy had 196 athletes. Norway, a traditional winter sports leader, also sent a strong team of nearly 200 athletes. The Olympic cauldrons in Milan and Cortina, were special. Their design was inspired by the patterns of the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, looking like a sun with beautiful knots. These cauldrons could open and close, changing their diameter (直径). Inside their center, the Olympic flame burned safely within a glass and metal container (容器). Three Italian Olympic champions skiers lit the cauldrons. Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni lit the flame in Milan, while Sofia Goggia did so in Cortina.

For a long time, people have believed that horses can smell fear and riders are often told to relax in order to keep their horses calm. Recently, a team of researchers have found that horses can actually catch our hidden feelings just by smelling our sweat (汗液). To test this idea, researchers invited 30 people to watch happy videos and scary movies. They collected the people’s sweat using pieces of cotton under their arms. Next, they divided 43 horses into three groups. The horses wore a special device (设备) over their noses and mouths. One group smelled the “happy” sweat, another smelled the “fear” sweat, and the third group smelled nothing. The team then checked how the horses behaved when strange things happened, such as an umbrella being opened near them or seeing a strange object. The results were clear and surprising. Horses that smelled the “fear” sweat became much more afraid. Their hearts beat faster and they were also less curious about new things and less likely to go near humans. “The fearful smells from humans make the horses’ reactions stronger,” the lead researcher Plotine Jardat explained. “The important thing is that horses know how we feel, even if they cannot see or hear us.” The researchers hope this important study will help to improve animal health and keep riders safe. Stressed horses can be very dangerous because they might kick or run away suddenly. If we understand their feelings better, we can get on with these old friends more safely and positively in the future. 1．Why are horse riders usually told to relax according to Paragraph 1? A．To build a better relationship. B．To prove that horses are smart. C．To help scientists collect sweat. D．To help their horses stay calm. 2．What was the main difference among the three groups of horses in the test? A．The objects they saw. B．The smells they got. C．The devices they wore. D．The videos they watched. 3．How did the horses behave after smelling the “fear” sweat? A．They showed less interest in new things. B．They tried to take off the special devices. C．They ran away and kicked the researchers. D．They stopped listening to the riders’ orders. 4．What can we learn from Plotine Jardat’s words? A．Fearful smells can make horses run faster. B．Horses’ smells will make humans feel afraid. C．Horses can sense human feelings from sweat. D．Horses lose their hearing when feeling afraid. 5．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To tell the history of humans riding horses. B．To show the practical value of the new study. C．To describe the dangers of riding stressed horses. D．To explain the importance of the horses’ feelings. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了一项研究，发现马能通过人类的汗液感知情绪，并探讨了该研究对提升马术安全和动物健康的意义。 1．根据第一段“For a long time, people have believed that horses can smell fear and riders are often told to relax in order to keep their horses calm.”可知，骑手被要求放松是为了让马保持冷静。 2．根据第二段“One group smelled the ‘happy’ sweat, another smelled the ‘fear’ sweat, and the third group smelled nothing.”可知，三组马的主要区别是接触的气味不同。 3．根据第三段“...they were also less curious about new things and less likely to go near humans.”可知，闻到恐惧汗液的马对新事物表现出更少的兴趣。 4．根据第四段“The important thing is that horses know how we feel, even if they cannot see or hear us.”可知，马能通过汗液感知人类的情绪。 5．根据最后一段“The researchers hope this important study will help to improve animal health and keep riders safe.”可知，最后一段主要说明了这项新研究的实际价值。 Do you want to be perfect? Do you get angry when life is not perfect? If so, you are a perfectionist (完美主义者). Perfectionists always try to do everything perfectly. Some perfectionists may expect other people around them to be perfect, too. Many cultures put a high value on working hard to get perfect results. It can be good to always try to be excellent. For example, some players may be perfectionists. They work hard for the best possible result. They try to do perfectly in a competition. Sometimes we even depend on the high expectations of perfectionists. For example, when a doctor is carrying out an operation, we would like it to be perfect. But each coin has two sides. Perfectionism can also have bad effects. There are three different kinds of perfectionism. The first kind is connected to the self. This is when a person wants himself to be perfect. When he fails, he will be really disappointed. Another kind of perfectionist expects other people to be perfect. Such perfectionists will criticize (批评) the people around them if they fail to do something perfectly. The third kind of perfectionist believes that other people expect him to be perfect. This kind of perfectionism often begins when children have very strict parents. All three kinds of perfectionism can have pernicious effects. Perfectionism can lead to problems like feeling upset, drinking too much, eating unhealthily, heart conditions and so on. If you have one task, you should put your mind to it and try your best to do it well. On the other hand, you should learn to accept the best and worst of who you are. You should know that some things about you will never change and believe you are good enough for today. 1．What does the writer use the two examples to show in Paragraph 2? A．Players should be perfectionists. B．Perfectionism is bad for people. C．Perfectionism can have good results. D．Only perfectionists can succeed. 2．Which is an example of the second kind of perfectionism? A．Tony thinks his mum will be happy if he does perfectly B．Danny hopes his daughter can do everything perfectly. C．Jenny always hopes she can perform well in everything. D．Paul has high expectations for himself and always does best. 3．How can we cut down on the need to be perfect? A．By doing all kinds of sports. B．By learning to accept ourselves. C．By keeping criticizing others. D．By drinking less and eating healthily. 4．What does the underlined word “pernicious” probably mean? A．Common. B．Active. C．Valuable. D．Harmful. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Perfectionism Has Two Sides B．Three Different Kinds of Perfectionism C．Perfectionism Is Important D．Everyone Needs to Be a Perfectionist 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了完美主义的积极作用、三种类型及其消极影响，并告诉人们要学会接受不完美的自己。 1．根据第二段第一句“Many cultures put a high value on working hard to get perfect results.”可知，许多文化都高度重视努力工作以获得完美结果。接着下文用了两个例子说明这一点，即完美主义会有好的结果。 2．根据第三段第七句“Another kind of perfectionist expects other people to be perfect.”可知，说明第二种完美主义是期望他人完美。 3．根据最后一段第二句“On the other hand, you should learn to accept the best and worst of who you are.”可知，要想减少对完美的需要，应该学会接受最好和最坏的自己。 4．根据后文“ Perfectionism can lead to problems like feeling upset, drinking too much, eating unhealthily, heart conditions and so on.”，说明完美主义也会导致负面影响。 5．全文先讲完美主义的好处，再讲其坏处与种类，并给出建议，说明完美主义具有两面性。 In April 2026, China started an important plan to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into all schools. It is called the “AI + Education Action Plan”, marking a new step in China’s smart education. This plan will make AI a common helper for students and teachers. And it has changed our study and teaching in a meaningful way. In the past, only a few schools in big cities used AI in education. But now, AI will enter every classroom, both in cities and countryside. For students, AI is a “smart study partner”. It makes personalized homework depending on each student’s level and explains difficult knowledge in simple ways. If you are slow in math, it will give easier practice to help you build confidence; if you learn fast, it will provide more challenging problems to help you make progress. For teachers, AI is a “super teaching assistant”. It helps make scientific teaching plans and correct homework quickly to save much time. With more free time, teachers can focus more on each student’s needs. Besides, schools use AI to check campus safety and manage daily work efficiently (有效地). Most parents also welcome this plan and they believe it will bridge the gap between school and home learning. “AI tools at home help me understand my child’s progress clearly, so I can guide him better,” said Mrs. Zhang, a parent of a Grade-8 student. The plan sets clear goals, that is, junior high schools will offer at least 8 AI lessons yearly to help students use AI wisely. By 2030, China will build a new education style with AI and humans working together. In short, this plan shows China’s technological progress and makes education fairer, leading us to a smarter learning future. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By asking a question.

This traditional work now has a special youth edition (版本). On January 15th, 2026, a part of the new edition was staged in Taiwan for the first time. The whole youth edition took nine hours. It was according to a project in 2024 to encourage young people to take part in protecting Kunqu. The project chose 50 students from 29 universities and colleges. The students, with little training in Kunqu, practised for nearly nine months. And in April 2025, they brought the new edition of The Peony Pavilion to the stage in Suzhou, the birthplace of Kunqu. Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest and most beautiful traditional Chinese operas. In 2001, it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage (非遗). As one of its most famous works, The Peony Pavilion was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu. It tells the story of Du Liniang, a young woman from a wealthy family. She dreams of a romantic meeting with the scholar (书生) Liu Mengmei and passes away for love, but she comes back to life when he finds her. Young people have always been the main audience for this youth version. Since its first show, it has been performed at several universities. “Our goal is to help college students enjoy the beauty of Kunqu so that they can feel closer to traditional Chinese culture,” said 88-year-old Pai Hsien-yung, the art director of the project. In an interview, Pai also said that people in Taiwan have loved Kunqu for more than 20 years, and he was pleasantly surprised to see that many high school students also enjoyed the performance very much. 1．When was the youth version of The Peony Pavilion first performed?

The same thing happens for power batteries (电池) in new energy cars. But after these batteries “retire”, they can be recycled. Recently, China put out 22 national standards for recycling power batteries. As batteries get older, they don’t work as well. At a 75 percent capacity (容量), they’re near the end of their life in a car. Some metals in the dying batteries are bad for people. They may also cause a fire explosion (爆炸), according to the Australian Electric Vehicle Council. Recycling the batteries is helpful. For example, China needs a lot of lithium, importing (进口) about 5. 25 million tons of lithium concentrate (锂精矿) in 2024. Recycling lithium from used batteries can cut down the need for imports, as reported by Xinhua. When it comes to recycling, hydrometallurgical recycling (湿法冶金回收) is a main way. It separates the battery’s electrodes (电极) from thin sheets of materials (材料薄板). Chemicals are used to break down the glue or burn it off. The remaining powder (粉末) is then mixed into a special liquid (液体). Useful metals are taken out through a method that puts two liquids that do not mix well together, like oil and water. This makes it easy to separate and collect the metals, said the Union of Concerned Scientists. But this progress could lead to waste water and gas. Many companies are trying to solve this problem. For example, new energy car maker BYD burns the electrolytes (电解液) at 1,100 °C to turn them into carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and oxygen (氧气). The harmful gases are gone after a second burn and quick cooling. 1．Why are retired power batteries not allowed to be thrown away at will (任意) ? A．They still have 75% capacity for use. B．They are hard to collect and transport. C．They may bring harm to people and the environment. D．They can be sold at a high price to recycling companies. 2．What’s the main advantage of recycling used power batteries? A．It can help cut down China’s lithium imports. B．It can make more new energy cars be produced. C．It can reduce the number of fire explosions. D．It can help companies make more money. 3．Which of the following is the correct process of hydrometallurgical recycling? ①Mix the remaining powder into a special liquid. ②Separate electrodes from material thin sheets. ③Take out useful metals by using immiscible (不混溶的) liquids. ④Break down the glue with chemicals or by burning. A．②→④→①→③ B．②→①→④→③ C．④→②→①→③ D．④→①→②→③ 4．What does the underlined word “this” probably refer to in Paragraph 4? A．Breaking down the glue with chemicals. B．Separating electrodes from material thin sheets. C．Mixing the powder into a special liquid. D．Using two immiscible liquids to take out metals. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future of power battery recycling? A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Uninterested. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍新能源汽车动力电池退役后的状态、回收国标、废旧电池的危害、回收价值、湿法冶金回收步骤，以及回收存在的环保问题与行业发展前景。 1．文章第二段有“Some metals in the dying batteries are bad for people. They may also cause a fire explosion”，可知退役废旧动力电池不能随意丢弃，会对人类和环境造成危害。 2．文章第三段有“Recycling lithium from used batteries can cut down the need for imports”，可知回收废旧动力电池，可以减少我国锂资源的进口量。 3．文章第四段依次介绍湿法冶金回收流程，先分离电极与材料薄板，再用化学制剂分解或灼烧胶层，接着将剩余粉末混入特殊液体，最后利用互不相溶的液体提取有用金属，可知正确流程顺序为②→④→①→③。 4．文章第四段有“Useful metals are taken out through a method that puts two liquids that do not mix well together, like oil and water. This makes it easy to separate and collect the metals”，可知划线单词this指代用两种互不相溶的液体提取有用金属这种方式。 5．文章最后一段提到众多企业积极解决废水废气污染问题，研发新工艺处理有害气体，能看出作者对动力电池回收的未来持有积极乐观的态度。 Imagine you have a 10-minute video to watch for your English homework, but you also want to watch a 5-minute video from your favorite vlogger (视频博主). With only 10 minutes to spare, what will you do? For many students today, the solution is easy: they click the “1.5x” or “2x” button (按钮). This practice, known as “speed-watching”, is changing how young people use the internet. Speed-watching has become a common habit on many online video platforms (平台). According to reports, viewers save hundreds of years of watch time every day by speeding up videos. The most popular setting is 1.5x speed (1.5 times normal speed). Many young viewers say that watching videos at normal speed feels too slow or even boring. By increasing speed, they can turn long lectures into shorter, more engaging lessons. But is speed-watching good for your brain? Some scientists believe it can be. Recent studies show that watching educational videos at 1.5x or 2x speed does not harm memory or understanding. In fact, it may even improve focus. When a video plays faster, the brain must work harder to understand information. This increased mental effort helps prevent the mind from wandering (开小差) and keeps viewers focused on the screen. However, speed-watching is not perfect. While it saves time, it can sometimes reduce what researchers call “cognitive (认知) depth.” This means that even if viewers remember the facts, they may not have enough time to think deeply. If videos are played at very high speeds—such as 3x—important details or feelings may be missed. Scientists even warn that too much screen time, especially at high speed, can make teenagers lose interest in class, become impatient, and fail to think deeply. Speed-watching is useful in the digital age. It helps viewers manage their time and stay focused. But it is also important to pause (暂停) and think. So young people should control speed-watching time and practice thinking deeply. 1．What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A．To ask readers for advice. B．To introduce an invention. C．To describe students’ lives. D．To present a digital habit. 2．What does the underlined word “engaging” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Tiring. B．Difficult. C．Interesting. D．Similar. 3．Why does speed-watching improve focus? A．It reduces video length. B．It saves viewers’ time. C．It requires more brain work. D．It makes videos more attractive. 4．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Dangers of high-speed viewing. B．Benefits of speed-watching. C．Methods of screen-time saving. D．Problems of deep thinking. 5．What advice does the writer give to young people? A．Giving up speed-watching. B．Limiting speed-watching time. C．Pausing videos as often as possible. D．Watching videos at the highest speed. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文讨论了“倍速观看”这一数字时代的新习惯，分析了其益处（节省时间、提高专注力）和潜在问题（降低认知深度），并给出了建议。 1．第一段通过一个假设场景：“Imagine you have a 10-minute video...but you also want to watch a 5-minute video...what will you do? For many students today, the solution is easy: they click the ‘1.5x’ or ‘2x’ button.”，引出“倍速观看”这一数字习惯。因此本段主要目的是“呈现一种数字习惯”。 2．第二段中“engaging”所在句为：“turn long lectures into shorter, more engaging lessons”，结合前文“normal speed feels too slow or even boring”，因此“engaging”意为“有趣的”。 3．第三段指出：“When a video plays faster, the brain must work harder to understand information. This increased mental effort...keeps viewers focused”，说明倍速观看需要更多脑力工作，从而提高专注力。 4．第四段讨论了速度过快可能导致的问题：降低认知深度、错过细节、产生不耐烦等，因此主要讲“高速观看的危险”。 5．最后一段作者建议：“young people should control speed-watching time and practice thinking deeply.”，说明要限制倍速观看时间。 Along China’s coast, thousands of small fishing villages, which have existed by the sea for centuries, used to depend on traditional ways of life. In the past, their wooden boats went out at sunrise and returned with full nets (网) at sunset. However, as modern times brought bigger ships, the number of fish in the ocean dropped greatly. Now, these old villages are looking for new ways that can not only protect the ocean but also keep their traditions alive. Take one small fishing village on the eastern coast as an example. Ten years ago, the water near the village was so polluted that it was difficult for villagers to catch any fish. Therefore, the villagers decided to make a change. They stopped throwing old fishing nets into the sea and picked up plastic waste from the beach every Friday. Slowly, the water became clearer. Fish began to come back. Today, this village is famous for its clean sea, which draws many tourists who come to see the blue water and taste fresh seafood. The village does not use large, harmful fishing methods. Instead, fishermen go out in small boats and follow strict rules. They do not catch baby fish. They do not fish during breeding (繁殖) seasons. This way, the sea can rest and recover. Some villages have also started “sea farming” together. They grow kelp (海带) and shellfish (贝类) on ropes in the water. These plants and animals can clean the water naturally. Also, they bring good income (收入). Villagers say they are not just fishermen now—they are ocean farmers and ocean keepers. Young people who once left for big cities are coming back. They open small hotels and restaurants by the sea.They use less plastic and teach visitors to protect the ocean. Grandfathers who spent their whole lives on boats now take children out to watch birds and learn about the sea. Protecting the sea does not mean stopping all fishing or losing old ways. It means using smarter methods, caring more, and passing down the love for the ocean to the next generation (下一代). 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in paragraph 1? A．By telling a story. B．By making a comparison. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving examples. 2．What did the villagers do to improve the environment ten years ago? ①They caught fewer fish than before. ②They stopped throwing old nets into the sea. ③They picked up plastic waste from the beach. ④They closed down the factory along the coast. A．①② B．①③ C．①④ D．②③ 3．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．Villagers grow crops and raise animals in the sea. B．Villagers both use the ocean and take care of it. C．Villagers have given up fishing completely. D．Villagers want to control the ocean like farmers control the land. 4．What can we infer about the elderly in the village? A．They no longer care about the sea. B．They have moved to big cities to live. C．They are helping the young develop the love for the ocean. D．They now spend more time on boats than before. 5．What’s the theme of the text? A．The Fishing Villages. B．The Ocean Protection. C．The New Fishing Ways. D．The Village Traditions. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国沿海渔村通过清理污染、可持续捕捞、海产养殖等方式，在保护海洋的同时传承传统文化。 1．第一段明确指出“In the past, their wooden boats went out at sunrise and returned with full nets at sunset. However, as modern times brought bigger ships, the number of fish in the ocean dropped greatly. Now, these old villages are looking for new ways that can not only protect the ocean but also keep their traditions alive.”，第一段把过去传统捕鱼生活和现代大船出现、鱼类减少做今昔对比，引出渔村转型、保护海洋的话题。 2．第二段明确指出“They stopped throwing old fishing nets into the sea and picked up plastic waste from the beach every Friday.”，他们不再把旧渔网扔进海里，并且每周五都从海滩上捡起塑料垃圾。 3．第四段明确指出“Villagers say they are not just fishermen now—they are ocean farmers and ocean keepers.”，他们既是利用海洋谋生（渔民、海洋养殖），又是守护海洋的人，对应“既利用又保护”。 4．第五段明确指出“Grandfathers who spent their whole lives on boats now take children out to watch birds and learn about the sea.”，那些在渔船上度过了一生的祖父们，现在带着孩子们出海观鸟，学习认识海洋。说明老人在帮助年轻一代培养对海洋热爱的情感。 5．全文围绕渔村如何从污染走向海洋保护（清理垃圾、禁止有害捕捞、海产养殖、教育下一代），核心主题是海洋保护。 China Leads World with First Approved Implantable BCI Medical Device On March 13, 2026, China reached a major milestone in medical technology. The National Medical Products Administration approved the world’s first commercial implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) device for medical use. This device, called the NEO System, was developed by Shanghai’s Neuracle together with Tsinghua University. With this approval, China has become a leader in the field of neurotechnology. The NEO System is designed for patients between the ages of 18 and 60 who have cervical spinal cord injuries. These injuries often make it difficult or impossible for people to move their hands freely. The device uses a special type of implant that is placed just outside the brain’s outer layer. Because it does not touch the brain tissue directly, the medical risks are low. The system reads brain signals without any wires and turns them into commands for a robotic glove. With this glove, patients can do everyday things like holding a cup, drinking water, or picking up objects by themselves. Before the device was approved, it went through clinical trials in 11 major hospitals across China. A total of 32 patients took part in the tests. The results were encouraging. Every patient showed better control of their hands. What’s more, nearly 69 percent of them still had improved nerve function even after not using the device for a long time. While some top international companies are still doing clinical tests with similar technologies, China has already made this life-changing device available for patient care. This approval means much more than just a technological success. It brings new hope to millions of people around the world who live with paralysis. It also shows how far China has advanced in high-level medical research. This moment is an important step in brain science and shows the growing strength of Chinese innovation. It proves that China can create real solutions to improve people’s lives. However, experts also remind us that BCI technology is still in its early stages. The long-term effects of the device still need to be studied further. Even so, this achievement marks a bright beginning for the future of medical technology. 1．Why is the approval of this BCI device considered a landmark (里程碑) moment? A．It is the first time a robotic glove has been used in a hospital. B．It is the world’s first commercial BCI device officially allowed for patient care. C．It proves that spinal cord injuries can be completely cured. D．It was developed by a university without any company support. 2．What can the NEO System help patients with cervical spinal cord injuries do? A．Move their hands freely and finish daily tasks easily. B．Take medicine without others’ help. C．Avoid any medical risks during operations. D．Become completely healthy at once. 3．What do we know about the clinical trials of the BCI device? A．The trials took place in 11 hospitals and all 32 patients showed better hand control. B．All patients stopped using the device after they fully recovered. C．The trials showed that the device only works for patients under 18 years old. D．Patients had to use the device every day to keep their nerve function. 4．What can we infer (推断) about BCI development in other countries from the text? A．They have not yet officially approved a similar device for medical use. B．They are not interested in helping patients with spinal cord injuries. C．They have already sold more BCI devices than China. D．They mainly focus on developing robotic gloves instead of brain implants. 5．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward the new BCI technology? A．The author thinks it is perfect and has no risks. B．The author is worried that patients will not accept the surgery. C．The author reports the success but also mentions it still needs long-term study.

While people were tired and out of breath, this clever robot moved easily around the crowds and carried a 120kg bag. Used by a company under the local tourism group, this AI robot helps clean up tourist waste and carry things. With 8 million visitors every year, Taishan has 24,000 tons of waste. Cleaning it by hand is expensive and dangerous. A company worker said, “The robot can climb mountains and cross water while carrying things. It makes the work much easier and faster.” Over the past few years, there has been a growing number of AI robots. In the robot market, human-like robots sell well, and they are getting more and more popular. Scientists say the market will grow a lot. By 2025, the sales of China’s human-like robots have reached 5.3 billion yuan. By 2029, it could be 75 billion yuan, which would be 32.7% of the world’s sales. The government is helping a lot. These robots are no longer just for fun but are becoming practical. Cities like Chongqing and Shenzhen are spending money on projects about AI that can deal with the real world. AI robots are helping people in many ways. In Chongqing, a 70-year-old person who had a stroke (中风) could move again with the help of a wearable AI robot. AI robots are also reshaping the idea of toys and pets. For example, Sirus is a small robot dog. It can dance, follow orders and move like a real dog. It’s very popular because it can interact with people. The small, smart, four-legged robot can even understand and answer people’s orders. From cleaning up rubbish on mountains to being family pets, helping the old and being fun toys, AI robots are slowly becoming part of people’s lives. As one scientist said, this is not just about new technology. It’s about meeting people’s needs. 1．What can the robot do on Taishan Mountain? A．Help with waste cleanup. B．Guide hikers along the way. C．Make people walk faster. D．Bring tourists fun by dancing. 2．What can we infer from paragraph 3? A．Humans will face danger with the rising sales of AI robots. B．The market for human-like robots in China has a bright future. C．Human-like robots are mainly used for fun in China. D．The growth of AI robots depends only on the government’s support. 3．How does the writer show that AI robots are helping people’s lives? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By comparing things. 4．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “interact”? A．communicate B．work C．develop D．live 5．What may be the best title of the passage? A．AI Robots—New Roles around us B．AI Robots—Fun Toys in Life C．AI Robots—Helpers in Taishan Mountain D．AI Robots—Past and Present Among the usual sounds of office work, a familiar sound of coffee machines fills the air in a government service hall in Huai’an, Jiangsu. The noise comes from a special “silent coffee shop” where workers use sign language and warm smiles to serve customers. Created to provide jobs for people with disabilities, this coffee shop has brought new career hope to people with hearing problems. The shop runs smoothly with modern technology. Customers order on their phones, so talking is seldom needed. For last-minute changes, computers with voice-recognition tools and writing boards make it easy for workers and customers to understand each other. Even when the shop is busy, the ordering works well. For workers with disabilities, this project has truly changed their lives. Wang Jiali is a 39-year-old woman who has serious hearing loss. She first discovered the shop while visiting the government hall two years ago. With no experience of making coffee, she was trained from the start and now she makes up to 200 drinks daily. “The job has helped me build courage and improved my communication skills,” she said. Her change from living in a quiet world to confidently serving customers shows the project’s biggest success. This project succeeds because of the joint effort between the government and business. Wang Xian, the coffee shop manager, got the idea from her relatives with hearing problems and left her job to start this shop. The government provides the space for free and pays for water and electricity. So far, more than 20 people with disabilities have received training at the shop. Eight of them are now skilled at making coffee. The project is planned to help even more people in the future. The project’s influence goes beyond creating jobs. By placing the coffee shop in a government building which is often visited by citizens, it helps reshape public understanding of what people with disabilities can achieve. 1．What is special about this silent coffee shop?

Zhang Xuefeng, a prominent Chinese postgraduate entrance examination tutor known for his high-energy lectures and motivational style, died of sudden cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) on March 24, after collapsing while running in Suzhou, Jiangsu province. He was 41. Zhang had reportedly finished 72 kilometers of running this month. His death highlights how even physically active individuals can remain vulnerable (脆弱的) to hidden cardiovascular (心血管的) risks. Specialists recommend that those experiencing unusual fatigue (疲乏) or breathlessness during exercise seek medical attention immediately. Doctors say the body often sends warning signals before a deadly event. A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that more than half of patients experience symptoms (症状) within the 24 hours preceding the event, such as chest pain or extreme fatigue. “These symptoms are often the body’s last warning,” said Zhang Ling, an internist at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing. “But many people dismiss them as simple fatigue.” Zhang noted that lifestyle changes linked to China’s rapid economic development—including diets high in processed food, long working hours, and long - term lack of sleep—have increased cardiovascular burden. She cautioned that intense exercise can be dangerous when the body is already severely fatigued. “Heart disease is no longer just an elderly person’s problem,” said Zhou Dongchen, a physician at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine. “We are seeing a clear shift toward younger age groups, particularly middle-aged men.” Because over 90 percent of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside of hospitals, Zhang Ling emphasized the necessity of emergency preparedness. “In cardiac arrest, the first few minutes are critical,” she said. “Immediate CPR and the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED) can make the difference between life and death.” 1．Why does the writer mention Zhang Xuefeng’s case at the beginning? A．To broaden the readers’ horizons B．To make a comparison C．To stress the writer’s opinion D．To give an example 2．What do specialists advise people to do if they feel unusual fatigue during exercise? A．Keep exercising B．Ask for medical help at once C．Drink more water D．Have a short sleep 3．What does the underlined word “dismiss” probably mean? A．fire B．ignore C．refuse D．discharge 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned to increase cardiovascular burden? A．Diets high in processed food B．Long working hours C．Long-term lack of sleep D．Doing too much light exercise 5．Which of the following proverbs best reflects the main message of the article? A．“No pain, no gain.” B．“A warning is better than punishment.” C．“You can’t judge a book by its cover.” D．“Health is not valued till sickness comes.” “He Hua Shen” was a very popular show at the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It had twelve performers. Each of them played a goddess. In Chinese tradition, there is a goddess for the flower of each month. This custom has been popular for hundreds of years. What made the show special was its mix of traditional culture and modern technology. The clothes the performers wore were in classic Chinese styles. They were made with special fabrics and patterns from old cultural relics (文物). For example, Li Qin played the Goddess of Osmanthus (桂花). She wore a beautiful Song-style dress. Qin Lan was the Goddess of Peach Blossoms. Her look was soft and lovely, just like peach flowers. The show also had deep cultural meanings. In Chinese culture, different flowers stand for different qualities. The chrysanthemum (菊花) means purity. The lotus (荷花) stands for honesty. Through beautiful scenes, the show told these cultural stories in a modern way. Modern technology was very important, too. With AI and 3D effects, the stage looked like a real garden. Flowers from all twelve months bloomed together. The amazing visual experience made the show popular with people of all ages, especially the young. “He Hua Shen” is more than just a performance.

Have you noticed how many of your classmates share funny short videos during breaks? Short video apps like TikTok and Instagram Reels have become a big part of teenagers’ lives around the world. These platforms allow users to create, edit, and share videos that are usually 15 to 60 seconds long. They offer everything from dance challenges and science experiments to language learning tips and news updates. For many students, short videos are not just entertainment (娱乐)—they’re also a way to express themselves, learn new skills, and connect with friends. However, experts are studying how these apps affect young people. One recent survey found that the average teenager spends about 90 minutes daily watching short videos. While some content is educational, spending too much time scrolling (刷屏) can reduce time for homework, sports or sleep. Another worry is that algorithms (运算法则) might show users only what they like, creating “information bubbles” that limit what they see. To use short video apps wisely, here are some suggestions: ※ Set a daily time limit (for example, 30 minutes). ※ Follow accounts (账号) that teach useful skills or share positive stories. ※ Be careful about sharing personal information. ※ Remember that many videos show only the highlights of someone’s life, not the whole picture. The key is balance. Short videos can be a fun tool for relaxation and learning if used mindfully. As one middle school teacher said, “Technology itself isn’t good or bad, it’s how we choose to use it that matters.” 1．According to the passage, how long are most short videos on apps like TikTok?

A．A place where users store their favorite videos. B．A situation where users see only what they like. C．A new type of educational short video. D．A way to share videos with more people. 4．Which suggestion is NOT mentioned in the passage for using short video apps wisely? A．Limit the time spent on the apps every day. B．Follow educational or positive accounts. C．Never share any personal information online. D．Remember that videos may not show real life completely. 5．What can we learn from the teacher’s words in the last paragraph? A．Technology always brings trouble. B．Students should stay away from video apps. C．Short videos are good for daily study. D．The way we use technology is the most important. The 2026 Winter Olympics officially began with a big opening ceremony. The celebrations were held in Milan’s San Siro Stadium (体育场) and also in other cities like Predazzo, Livigno, and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The ceremony included two main highlights. First, athletes from around the world took part in the Parade of Nations. Second, the Olympic cauldrons (火炬台) were lit in Milan and Cortina, marking the true start of the Games. Famous singers like Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli gave wonderful performances during the event. The United States sent the largest team with over 230 athletes. Canada followed with 210, and host Italy had 196 athletes. Norway, a traditional winter sports leader, also sent a strong team of nearly 200 athletes. The Olympic cauldrons in Milan and Cortina, were special. Their design was inspired by the patterns of the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, looking like a sun with beautiful knots. These cauldrons could open and close, changing their diameter (直径). Inside their center, the Olympic flame burned safely within a glass and metal container (容器). Three Italian Olympic champions skiers lit the cauldrons. Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni lit the flame in Milan, while Sofia Goggia did so in Cortina. Tomba and Compagnoni are now retired, but Goggia will compete in the 2026 Games.

For a long time, people have believed that horses can smell fear and riders are often told to relax in order to keep their horses calm. Recently, a team of researchers have found that horses can actually catch our hidden feelings just by smelling our sweat (汗液). To test this idea, researchers invited 30 people to watch happy videos and scary movies. They collected the people’s sweat using pieces of cotton under their arms. Next, they divided 43 horses into three groups. The horses wore a special device (设备) over their noses and mouths. One group smelled the “happy” sweat, another smelled the “fear” sweat, and the third group smelled nothing. The team then checked how the horses behaved when strange things happened, such as an umbrella being opened near them or seeing a strange object. The results were clear and surprising. Horses that smelled the “fear” sweat became much more afraid. Their hearts beat faster and they were also less curious about new things and less likely to go near humans. “The fearful smells from humans make the horses’ reactions stronger,” the lead researcher Plotine Jardat explained. “The important thing is that horses know how we feel, even if they cannot see or hear us.” The researchers hope this important study will help to improve animal health and keep riders safe. Stressed horses can be very dangerous because they might kick or run away suddenly. If we understand their feelings better, we can get on with these old friends more safely and positively in the future. 1．Why are horse riders usually told to relax according to Paragraph 1? A．To build a better relationship. B．To prove that horses are smart. C．To help scientists collect sweat. D．To help their horses stay calm. 2．What was the main difference among the three groups of horses in the test? A．The objects they saw. B．The smells they got. C．The devices they wore. D．The videos they watched. 3．How did the horses behave after smelling the “fear” sweat? A．They showed less interest in new things. B．They tried to take off the special devices. C．They ran away and kicked the researchers. D．They stopped listening to the riders’ orders. 4．What can we learn from Plotine Jardat’s words? A．Fearful smells can make horses run faster. B．Horses’ smells will make humans feel afraid. C．Horses can sense human feelings from sweat. D．Horses lose their hearing when feeling afraid. 5．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To tell the history of humans riding horses. B．To show the practical value of the new study. C．To describe the dangers of riding stressed horses. D．To explain the importance of the horses’ feelings. Do you want to be perfect? Do you get angry when life is not perfect? If so, you are a perfectionist (完美主义者). Perfectionists always try to do everything perfectly. Some perfectionists may expect other people around them to be perfect, too. Many cultures put a high value on working hard to get perfect results. It can be good to always try to be excellent. For example, some players may be perfectionists. They work hard for the best possible result. They try to do perfectly in a competition. Sometimes we even depend on the high expectations of perfectionists. For example, when a doctor is carrying out an operation, we would like it to be perfect. But each coin has two sides. Perfectionism can also have bad effects. There are three different kinds of perfectionism. The first kind is connected to the self. This is when a person wants himself to be perfect. When he fails, he will be really disappointed. Another kind of perfectionist expects other people to be perfect. Such perfectionists will criticize (批评) the people around them if they fail to do something perfectly. The third kind of perfectionist believes that other people expect him to be perfect. This kind of perfectionism often begins when children have very strict parents. All three kinds of perfectionism can have pernicious effects. Perfectionism can lead to problems like feeling upset, drinking too much, eating unhealthily, heart conditions and so on. If you have one task, you should put your mind to it and try your best to do it well. On the other hand, you should learn to accept the best and worst of who you are. You should know that some things about you will never change and believe you are good enough for today. 1．What does the writer use the two examples to show in Paragraph 2? A．Players should be perfectionists. B．Perfectionism is bad for people. C．Perfectionism can have good results.

C．By keeping criticizing others. D．By drinking less and eating healthily. 4．What does the underlined word “pernicious” probably mean? A．Common. B．Active. C．Valuable. D．Harmful. 5．What does the passage mainly talk about? A．Perfectionism Has Two Sides B．Three Different Kinds of Perfectionism C．Perfectionism Is Important D．Everyone Needs to Be a Perfectionist In April 2026, China started an important plan to bring artificial intelligence (AI) into all schools. It is called the “AI + Education Action Plan”, marking a new step in China’s smart education. This plan will make AI a common helper for students and teachers. And it has changed our study and teaching in a meaningful way. In the past, only a few schools in big cities used AI in education. But now, AI will enter every classroom, both in cities and countryside. For students, AI is a “smart study partner”. It makes personalized homework depending on each student’s level and explains difficult knowledge in simple ways. If you are slow in math, it will give easier practice to help you build confidence; if you learn fast, it will provide more challenging problems to help you make progress. For teachers, AI is a “super teaching assistant”. It helps make scientific teaching plans and correct homework quickly to save much time. With more free time, teachers can focus more on each student’s needs. Besides, schools use AI to check campus safety and manage daily work efficiently (有效地). Most parents also welcome this plan and they believe it will bridge the gap between school and home learning. “AI tools at home help me understand my child’s progress clearly, so I can guide him better,” said Mrs. Zhang, a parent of a Grade-8 student. The plan sets clear goals, that is, junior high schools will offer at least 8 AI lessons yearly to help students use AI wisely. By 2030, China will build a new education style with AI and humans working together. In short, this plan shows China’s technological progress and makes education fairer, leading us to a smarter learning future. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By asking a question.

This traditional work now has a special youth edition (版本). On January 15th, 2026, a part of the new edition was staged in Taiwan for the first time. The whole youth edition took nine hours. It was according to a project in 2024 to encourage young people to take part in protecting Kunqu. The project chose 50 students from 29 universities and colleges. The students, with little training in Kunqu, practised for nearly nine months. And in April 2025, they brought the new edition of The Peony Pavilion to the stage in Suzhou, the birthplace of Kunqu. Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest and most beautiful traditional Chinese operas. In 2001, it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage (非遗). As one of its most famous works, The Peony Pavilion was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu. It tells the story of Du Liniang, a young woman from a wealthy family. She dreams of a romantic meeting with the scholar (书生) Liu Mengmei and passes away for love, but she comes back to life when he finds her. Young people have always been the main audience for this youth version. Since its first show, it has been performed at several universities. “Our goal is to help college students enjoy the beauty of Kunqu so that they can feel closer to traditional Chinese culture,” said 88-year-old Pai Hsien-yung, the art director of the project. In an interview, Pai also said that people in Taiwan have loved Kunqu for more than 20 years, and he was pleasantly surprised to see that many high school students also enjoyed the performance very much. 1．When was the youth version of The Peony Pavilion first performed?

The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala is full of warmth and new surprises. This year, robots become one of the most popular stars on the stage. The cool show is a big hit. It is a kung fu show made by robots and real kung fu kids from Henan Tagou Martial Arts School. There are over 20 humanoid (人形的) robots in this show. They are made by Unitree Robotics, a Chinese robot company. These robots are not cold machines — They can do difficult kung fu moves very well. They can roll, jump and change their lines fast on the stage. They even do cool new moves that are world-first tricks, like three one-legged backflips (后空翻) and high jumps. Some robots play kung fu with sticks, and some do drunk boxing (醉拳) nicely. They work well with the young actors and never make mistakes. The show brings traditional Chinese kung fu and high technology together. It shows the strong power of “Made in China”. Many people watch the show and feel excited. They say the robots are lovely and amazing. Some students say they want to learn science and make robots in the future. The gala also uses robots in other small shows, like helping and talking with people. It tells us robots can be friendly and helpful in our life day by day. This robot show is not just fun to watch. It lets more people love our traditional kung fu and know China’s great robot technology.

The same thing happens for power batteries (电池) in new energy cars. But after these batteries “retire”, they can be recycled. Recently, China put out 22 national standards for recycling power batteries. As batteries get older, they don’t work as well. At a 75 percent capacity (容量), they’re near the end of their life in a car. Some metals in the dying batteries are bad for people. They may also cause a fire explosion (爆炸), according to the Australian Electric Vehicle Council. Recycling the batteries is helpful. For example, China needs a lot of lithium, importing (进口) about 5. 25 million tons of lithium concentrate (锂精矿) in 2024. Recycling lithium from used batteries can cut down the need for imports, as reported by Xinhua. When it comes to recycling, hydrometallurgical recycling (湿法冶金回收) is a main way. It separates the battery’s electrodes (电极) from thin sheets of materials (材料薄板). Chemicals are used to break down the glue or burn it off. The remaining powder (粉末) is then mixed into a special liquid (液体). Useful metals are taken out through a method that puts two liquids that do not mix well together, like oil and water. This makes it easy to separate and collect the metals, said the Union of Concerned Scientists. But this progress could lead to waste water and gas. Many companies are trying to solve this problem. For example, new energy car maker BYD burns the electrolytes (电解液) at 1,100 °C to turn them into carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and oxygen (氧气). The harmful gases are gone after a second burn and quick cooling. 1．Why are retired power batteries not allowed to be thrown away at will (任意) ? A．They still have 75% capacity for use. B．They are hard to collect and transport. C．They may bring harm to people and the environment. D．They can be sold at a high price to recycling companies. 2．What’s the main advantage of recycling used power batteries? A．It can help cut down China’s lithium imports. B．It can make more new energy cars be produced. C．It can reduce the number of fire explosions. D．It can help companies make more money. 3．Which of the following is the correct process of hydrometallurgical recycling? ①Mix the remaining powder into a special liquid. ②Separate electrodes from material thin sheets. ③Take out useful metals by using immiscible (不混溶的) liquids. ④Break down the glue with chemicals or by burning. A．②→④→①→③ B．②→①→④→③ C．④→②→①→③ D．④→①→②→③ 4．What does the underlined word “this” probably refer to in Paragraph 4? A．Breaking down the glue with chemicals. B．Separating electrodes from material thin sheets. C．Mixing the powder into a special liquid. D．Using two immiscible liquids to take out metals. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future of power battery recycling? A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Positive. D．Uninterested. Imagine you have a 10-minute video to watch for your English homework, but you also want to watch a 5-minute video from your favorite vlogger (视频博主). With only 10 minutes to spare, what will you do? For many students today, the solution is easy: they click the “1.5x” or “2x” button (按钮). This practice, known as “speed-watching”, is changing how young people use the internet. Speed-watching has become a common habit on many online video platforms (平台). According to reports, viewers save hundreds of years of watch time every day by speeding up videos. The most popular setting is 1.5x speed (1.5 times normal speed). Many young viewers say that watching videos at normal speed feels too slow or even boring. By increasing speed, they can turn long lectures into shorter, more engaging lessons. But is speed-watching good for your brain? Some scientists believe it can be. Recent studies show that watching educational videos at 1.5x or 2x speed does not harm memory or understanding. In fact, it may even improve focus. When a video plays faster, the brain must work harder to understand information. This increased mental effort helps prevent the mind from wandering (开小差) and keeps viewers focused on the screen. However, speed-watching is not perfect. While it saves time, it can sometimes reduce what researchers call “cognitive (认知) depth.” This means that even if viewers remember the facts, they may not have enough time to think deeply. If videos are played at very high speeds—such as 3x—important details or feelings may be missed. Scientists even warn that too much screen time, especially at high speed, can make teenagers lose interest in class, become impatient, and fail to think deeply. Speed-watching is useful in the digital age. It helps viewers manage their time and stay focused. But it is also important to pause (暂停) and think. So young people should control speed-watching time and practice thinking deeply. 1．What is the main purpose of paragraph 1? A．To ask readers for advice. B．To introduce an invention. C．To describe students’ lives. D．To present a digital habit. 2．What does the underlined word “engaging” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Tiring. B．Difficult. C．Interesting. D．Similar. 3．Why does speed-watching improve focus? A．It reduces video length. B．It saves viewers’ time. C．It requires more brain work. D．It makes videos more attractive. 4．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Dangers of high-speed viewing. B．Benefits of speed-watching. C．Methods of screen-time saving. D．Problems of deep thinking. 5．What advice does the writer give to young people? A．Giving up speed-watching. B．Limiting speed-watching time. C．Pausing videos as often as possible. D．Watching videos at the highest speed. Along China’s coast, thousands of small fishing villages, which have existed by the sea for centuries, used to depend on traditional ways of life. In the past, their wooden boats went out at sunrise and returned with full nets (网) at sunset. However, as modern times brought bigger ships, the number of fish in the ocean dropped greatly. Now, these old villages are looking for new ways that can not only protect the ocean but also keep their traditions alive. Take one small fishing village on the eastern coast as an example. Ten years ago, the water near the village was so polluted that it was difficult for villagers to catch any fish. Therefore, the villagers decided to make a change. They stopped throwing old fishing nets into the sea and picked up plastic waste from the beach every Friday. Slowly, the water became clearer. Fish began to come back. Today, this village is famous for its clean sea, which draws many tourists who come to see the blue water and taste fresh seafood. The village does not use large, harmful fishing methods. Instead, fishermen go out in small boats and follow strict rules. They do not catch baby fish. They do not fish during breeding (繁殖) seasons. This way, the sea can rest and recover. Some villages have also started “sea farming” together. They grow kelp (海带) and shellfish (贝类) on ropes in the water. These plants and animals can clean the water naturally. Also, they bring good income (收入). Villagers say they are not just fishermen now—they are ocean farmers and ocean keepers. Young people who once left for big cities are coming back. They open small hotels and restaurants by the sea.They use less plastic and teach visitors to protect the ocean. Grandfathers who spent their whole lives on boats now take children out to watch birds and learn about the sea. Protecting the sea does not mean stopping all fishing or losing old ways.

China Leads World with First Approved Implantable BCI Medical Device On March 13, 2026, China reached a major milestone in medical technology. The National Medical Products Administration approved the world’s first commercial implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) device for medical use. This device, called the NEO System, was developed by Shanghai’s Neuracle together with Tsinghua University. With this approval, China has become a leader in the field of neurotechnology. The NEO System is designed for patients between the ages of 18 and 60 who have cervical spinal cord injuries. These injuries often make it difficult or impossible for people to move their hands freely. The device uses a special type of implant that is placed just outside the brain’s outer layer. Because it does not touch the brain tissue directly, the medical risks are low. The system reads brain signals without any wires and turns them into commands for a robotic glove. With this glove, patients can do everyday things like holding a cup, drinking water, or picking up objects by themselves. Before the device was approved, it went through clinical trials in 11 major hospitals across China. A total of 32 patients took part in the tests. The results were encouraging. Every patient showed better control of their hands. What’s more, nearly 69 percent of them still had improved nerve function even after not using the device for a long time. While some top international companies are still doing clinical tests with similar technologies, China has already made this life-changing device available for patient care. This approval means much more than just a technological success. It brings new hope to millions of people around the world who live with paralysis. It also shows how far China has advanced in high-level medical research. This moment is an important step in brain science and shows the growing strength of Chinese innovation. It proves that China can create real solutions to improve people’s lives. However, experts also remind us that BCI technology is still in its early stages. The long-term effects of the device still need to be studied further. Even so, this achievement marks a bright beginning for the future of medical technology. 1．Why is the approval of this BCI device considered a landmark (里程碑) moment? A．It is the first time a robotic glove has been used in a hospital. B．It is the world’s first commercial BCI device officially allowed for patient care. C．It proves that spinal cord injuries can be completely cured. D．It was developed by a university without any company support. 2．What can the NEO System help patients with cervical spinal cord injuries do? A．Move their hands freely and finish daily tasks easily. B．Take medicine without others’ help. C．Avoid any medical risks during operations. D．Become completely healthy at once. 3．What do we know about the clinical trials of the BCI device? A．The trials took place in 11 hospitals and all 32 patients showed better hand control. B．All patients stopped using the device after they fully recovered. C．The trials showed that the device only works for patients under 18 years old. D．Patients had to use the device every day to keep their nerve function. 4．What can we infer (推断) about BCI development in other countries from the text? A．They have not yet officially approved a similar device for medical use. B．They are not interested in helping patients with spinal cord injuries. C．They have already sold more BCI devices than China. D．They mainly focus on developing robotic gloves instead of brain implants. 5．Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward the new BCI technology? A．The author thinks it is perfect and has no risks. B．The author is worried that patients will not accept the surgery. C．The author reports the success but also mentions it still needs long-term study. D．The author doubts that the device can really help patients. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
