It can grow to be around 10 feet tall. Just make sure you keep the soil surface dry between your watering periods because it gets influenced by too much water. Also, having this plant around a dog can be dangerous. It can be poisonous to dogs if they eat it. Australian Pine A perfect "living decoration" to add in your house, it is good to look at and has a comforting feel. It can also serve as the perfect Christmas tree. It grows around 10 feet tall indoors. Remember that it requires plenty of light and fresh air. Otherwise, it becomes weak and an easy target for mites (螨虫). Peperomia It is little in size, with long leaves. It adds energy to your living room and creates a comforting environment. As it's not a very tall plant, you needn't worry about how much space it will take up. The plant likes a dry surface of the soil. Grape Ivy If you want something off the ceiling (天花板), this houseplant is the one for you. It's a climbing plant, and it will make for a beautiful hanging basket decoration. The plant is full of life wherever it is hung. It needs to be kept wet in all its parts for good growth. A houseplant is pretty to look at and brings fresh air to your home.

B Li Wei, a 24-year-old college graduate, gave up a well-paid job in a big city and returned to his poor mountain village in the west of China three years ago. When he was a child, the village was very quiet and poor. Most young people left to work in cities, leaving behind the elderly and young children. The roads were narrow and hard to walk on. There were no modern supermarkets or clean public toilets. Many good farm products, such as fresh vegetables and wild honey, could not be sold to other places because of the bad traffic. Li Wei wanted to change his hometown. With the help of the local government’s rural revitalization (乡村振兴) policy, he started an online store to sell local farm products. He learned to take photos and make short videos to introduce the clean mountains, clear water and delicious food of his village. At first, few people bought his products. But he never gave up. He kept improving his videos and services. Slowly, more and more people knew about the lovely village and its healthy products. His online business became successful. He also helped build new roads and clean public areas in the village. Now, more young people come back to start their own businesses. The village is no longer poor and quiet. It is full of life and hope. “I love my hometown. It’s meaningful to build a better home with my own hands,” Li Wei said. “I hope more young people will join us and make our countryside more beautiful.” 24.Why did Li Wei return to his hometown? A. Because he lost his job in the city. B. Because he wanted to improve his hometown. C. Because he didn’t like the life in big cities. D. Because his family asked him to come back. 25..What was the village like when Li Wei was young? A. It had wide clean roads. B. It was rich and lively. C. Many young people lived there. D. It was poor and short of young people. 26..What can we infer from the passage? A. Li Wei’s business was easy to succeed at first. B. The local government supported Li Wei’s idea. C. No young people will come back to the village. D. The village is still the same as before. 27.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Li Wei built a successful online shop. B. Many young people left the poor village. C. A young man helped his hometown develop. D. The village has clean mountains and clear water. C “老己，别太累了，对自己好一点。” These warm words are often heard in our daily life. “老己” means ourselves in local dialect, a gentle reminder that we should care more about the person who’s always with us — ourselves. In modern society, many people push themselves too hard to meet high expectations from school, parents or social standards, and forget to be kind to “老己”. Being kind to ourselves is not a sign of laziness. Instead, it means accepting who we are: we know our strengths, admit our weaknesses, and understand that no one is perfect. Everyone may face setbacks, feel stressed, or make mistakes sometimes. Instead of blaming ourselves for not being good enough, we should learn to forgive and encourage “老己”. What’s more, treating ourselves well is the basis of good mental health. When we’re tired, we can take a rest instead of forcing ourselves to keep going; when we feel upset, we can cheer ourselves up with small joys. Only when we truly love and care for “老己” can we have enough energy to face life’s challenges and love the people around us. If we’re always hard on ourselves, we’ll easily lose confidence and get stuck in anxiety, which will also affect our relationships with others. In a word, life is short, and being kind to ourselves is not selfish. It’s the first step to living a happy and meaningful life. The most important person we should take good care of is always “老己”. 28.What is the true meaning of being kind to ourselves? A. Refusing to face any difficulty B. Accepting our advantages and disadvantages C. Ignoring others’ needs and feelings D. Trying to become perfect all the time 29.What can we infer about those who are hard on themselves? A. They may suffer from anxiety and low confidence. B. They usually enjoy a stable mental state. C. They can build better relationships quickly. D. They never make mistakes in daily life. 30.What is the result of caring for “老己” properly? A. People will become selfish and cold. B. People can deal with difficulties in life better. C. People will no longer feel stressed or tired. D. People will meet higher social expectations. 31.What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Self-kindness is necessary for a happy life. B. We should try our best to satisfy others. C. Life is too short to work hard every day. D. Taking care of others is more important. D On April 19, 2026, a groundbreaking sports event was held in Beijing. For the first time, humanoid robots officially competed with human runners in a half‑marathon, drawing wide attention from both the sports and tech fields. To the world’s surprise, a robot named Lightning not only finished the 21.0975 km race perfectly but also broke the long‑standing record set by top human runners. Lightning was developed by Honor, a well‑known Chinese smartphone and intelligent equipment maker. The 169‑cm‑tall robot finished the whole race in just 50 minutes and 26 seconds, much faster than the current best human record. More importantly, it ran fully on its own through the whole course—no remote control, no follow‑up guidance, and no human help at any time during the competition. The secret behind Lightning’s amazing performance is its advanced and reliable technology. It has highly developed bionic joints（关节） that support stable, smooth and efficient running, even on the slightly undulating race road. Its intelligent self‑control system can accurately follow the race route and avoid possible obstacles（障碍） in real time. Besides, a powerful battery and an efficient cooling system allow it to keep running for a long time without overheating or power failure. This achievement is a big milestone for the development of humanoid robots worldwide. Only one year ago, the most advanced humanoid robot needed nearly three hours to finish the same half‑marathon. The huge progress in just 12 months fully shows China’s leading position and rapid development in humanoid robot technology. Lightning’s record‑breaking run is more than a victory in a sports competition. It proves that robots can perform better than humans in some specific physical activities. In the near future, such smart humanoid robots may be widely used in rescue tasks, public services, industrial work and many other fields, bringing more convenience and new possibilities to our daily life. 32.What is the main idea of the passage? A. Human runners are facing great challenges from smart robots. B. A Chinese humanoid robot broke the human half‑marathon record. C. Honor has become a global leader in robot development. D. Humanoid robots will take the place of humans in sports events. 33.What does the underlined word “milestone” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. A difficult and challenging task B. An important and historic event C. A new and creative technology D. A fast and surprising progress 34.What can we learn about Lightning’s running technology? A. It can deal with difficult road conditions properly. B. It depends greatly on human guidance all the way. C. Its battery often breaks down during long tasks. D. Its joints are designed only for short-distance running. 35.What can we infer from the passage? A. Robots will completely replace humans in sports very soon. B. China is developing humanoid robot technology at a high speed. C. Lightning needed human help to complete the race successfully. D. All humanoid robots can run faster than human runners now. 第二节 七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Home automation (自动化) is nothing new. It’s been around for years now. 36  And when something is new, people have to be doubtful about it. So, here we are with tons of widespread myths around home automation. Let’s check out what unbelievable myths（误区） we encouraged and why you need to stop believing them. Myth 1: Home automation is too expensive. The most common misunderstanding is—I can’t afford it! It is not your fault if you think it’s too expensive. 37  Actually, home automation devices were quite pricey initially (最初), but things have changed now. Smart home products nowadays are simple and programmable devices that are affordable to many homeowners. Myth 2: 38 Most people think that home automation devices and systems are some devices out of a spy movie. It is a common myth that you must be a techie to use the devices or make changes. However, it is not true. 39  Even though it seems like a challenging task, all it takes is a simple touch to control your home. Myth 3: Smart devices will become outdated after a few years of purchase. Another common myth is that smart home automation technology will become out of date after some time. Firstly, all efficient home automation devices are futuristically designed. Secondly, most home automation companies provide updates that are easy to install and keep them up-to-date. Smart home automation is a new technology. 40  Thus, don’t let the myths and technical terms about home automation scare you! The products that power the smart home are light years away from the myth around them. A. After all, it’s a new technology. B. Home automation needs technical knowledge. C. You don’t have to be a tech-master to live in a smart home. D. This powerful technology has many benefits for homeowners. E. Home automation devices are for every home regardless of its size and shape. F. You can reduce your power consumption, energy wastage and save money in the long run. G. But smart homes with automation systems for efficient lighting, temperature, and security are new fields. 第三部分：语言运用 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，满分20分） 阅读下面短文，掌握大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a little boy named Jack.

When I walked out of the classroom, I was shocked to find that the weather had changed completely. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and a strong cold wind was blowing hard. Soon, heavy snow began to fall, and the whole world soon turned white in a short time. I suddenly felt worried and nervous, for I had left my warm coat in the classroom this morning. I only wore a thin sweater, and I didn’t take an umbrella with me, either. What was worse, my parents were busy at work and could not come to pick me up. My home was quite far from school, and I had no money to take a taxi or a bus. I had to walk home in such terrible weather. I walked slowly along the street, trembling with cold. My hands and face were red with cold, and I could hardly feel my fingers. I lowered my head and walked on, feeling helpless and sad. I even wanted to cry because I was so cold and tired. Just when I was walking hard in the snow, a warm-hearted uncle on a bike noticed me. He stopped his bike right away and walked towards me. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Seeing that I was trembling in the heavy snow, the kind uncle came up to me and asked gently what was wrong with me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2:The kind uncle walked with me slowly in the snow, chatting with me to make me feel relaxed.  _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
