As we all know, water plays a key role in our daily life, and we can’t live a normal life without clean fresh water. However, wasting water is still quite common around us. Luckily, my family and I have developed good water-using habits. We always turn off the taps in time and never let water run for no reason. To save more water in our daily life, we can try some easy ways. For example, we can take short showers instead of baths, and reuse water to clean the floor or water flowers. Water is very precious for all of us. Let’s take action together to save every drop of water and make our planet better. 听力部分录音文字稿 Ⅰ.短对话理解 你将听到五段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，请在每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Here are some of their popular travel ways. Event-led Trips Young travelers now choose destinations (目的地) for events like concerts or festivals, not just scenery. For example, Francisco Perdamo visited the Bahamas for its independence celebrations. He cooked with locals and joined beach parties. He had a meaningful trip. Me-kends Can you guess what this word means? It’s about short but comfortable trips. Older generations (代) often take a two-week holiday at the end of the year. Many young travelers, however, take several three-day trips throughout the year. Family Miles Family travel is becoming more and more popular among young people. Many young travelers go on trips with their parents or even grandparents. They value time with family and want to make lasting happy memories together. Altitude Shifting (海拔变换) Young travelers are reaching new heights while traveling. More and more of them are choosing to go hiking in the mountains.

B On April 15, 2026, a special silk banner (锦旗) with warm words was given to Zhou Zihan, a Senior 3 student from the High School Affiliated to Hefei University of Technology. The banner was in praise of his brave act in a fire accident. Three days before that, Zhou was at home in Zijing Garden Community. He found thick smoke coming out of a house on the 6th floor. He told his parents to call 119 and the community workers at once. Then he ran upstairs and knocked on the door again and again to wake up an 80-year-old man living alone inside. The room was full of smoke. Zhou quickly turned off the gas to stop the fire from spreading. With the help of community workers, he put out the fire and opened windows to clear the smoke. His quick and proper act kept the old man safe and avoided great danger. Zhou comes from a soldier family. He said his father’s words and school fire safety practice taught him to stay calm and act bravely. People all praise him for his courage and sense of responsibility. 59.

As a beautiful form of writing, poetry has long been loved for its rich meaning and gentle beauty. But do you know it is good for our physical and mental (心理的) health? A new study, published in the American Journal of Physiology, looked at how reading poems affects people. Twenty healthy volunteers tried three activities: reading poems aloud, doing slow breathing exercises and breathing normally. The study found that when people read poems, their breathing and heart rate (心率) worked together best. This helped them feel less stressed and more relaxed right away. Many poems, both Chinese and foreign, have a regular rhythm (节奏) that matches the beat of our hearts. For example, we often learn Quiet Night Thoughts by Li Bai. The five-character lines of this classic poem have a natural flow (韵律). It is easy to read this poem in one breath, and this kind of rhythm calms our minds quickly. Writing poems helps too. 62. What’s the purpose of World Poetry Day? A. To learn to write better poems. B. To enjoy the beauty of poems. C. To introduce more poets. D. To make poems famous. 63. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. An example of Chinese poems. B. A new method for studying poems. C. A research on reading poems. D. A rule on doing breathing exercises. 64. What can we learn about Quiet Night Thoughts? A. It has long sentences. B. It makes people feel relaxed. C. It is a foreign poem. D. It is hard to understand. 65. What may the text talk about next? A. Some reasons for learning poems. B. Some famous poets in history. C. Some advice on writing poems. D. Some benefits of writing poems. D Coffee trees grow in a special area called the “Coffee Bean Belt”. This area lies between the Tropic of Cancer (北回归线) and the Tropic of Capricorn (南回归线). Yunnan, China, is right in this golden area. Cities like Pu’er and Baoshan have perfect growing conditions. That’s why over 98% of China’s coffee beans come from Yunnan. Why does Yunnan coffee taste so special? The formula is in the mountains. The coffee trees grow at a high altitude, usually 1,000 to 2,000 meters high. In the mountains, days are sunny, but nights are cool. The big temperature difference makes coffee cherries (咖啡果) grow slowly. The slower they grow, the more sugar they store inside. High altitude also reduces chlorogenic acid (绿原酸) which makes coffee taste bitter (苦的). With less of this acid, Yunnan coffee tastes sweet, fruity and as fresh as tea. Farmers pick red coffee cherries by hand. After peeling and drying, the beans give out a warm and pleasant smell. “Sichuan dishes are everywhere in the world and loved by many foreigners now. ▲ ” a Yunnan coffee lover once said. 66. 新考向·跨学科 Where may coffee trees grow well according to the text? A. In Sydney. B. In Moscow. C. In London. D. In Bangkok. 67. What does the underlined word “formula” probably mean? A. Result. B. Secret. C. Cost. D. Number. 68. 新题型·信息回填 Which can be best put in “ ▲ ”? A. I believe Yunnan coffee will be just as welcome. B. I want to try as many Yunnan dishes as possible in person. C. I think Yunnan should pay attention to coffee products. D. I hope Yunnan can be as famous as Sichuan in the future. E I never thought I’d run a booth (小摊) at a craft (手工) fair in my 70s. Once I only admired other artists’ works, but now I sell my own “Happy Cat” creations made from recycled materials. Before my first show, I couldn’t help thinking so many questions. Should I argue over prices? Was my setup too crowded? What if I couldn’t sell any of them? Then a woman next to me who sold soaps and lotions (润肤乳) gave me useful advice on talking to customers. Her words slowly calmed me down. I started to remind myself this wasn’t a test. It was a chance to share my works. When the fair started, I wondered if anyone would stop by. My first sale was to a young girl who loved my cat earrings because they reminded her of her own pet. That moment made me realize joy wasn’t just in selling, but in talking with people and hearing their stories. At later fairs, I became friends with other sellers and even saw the same visitors who felt like old friends. I don’t make much money, but these fairs give my retirement (退休) new purpose. They fill my days with warm connections, and even let me share ideas about protecting the environment. Retirement used to seem empty and boring, but new experiences like this bring me joy and a true sense of belonging. 69. What does the writer sell at the craft fair? A. Recycled creations about cats. B. Paintings of her happy cats. C. Handmade soaps and lotions. D. Homemade cat-shaped cookies. 70. Why did the writer think so many questions before her first show? A. Because her booth was a bit crowded. B. Because she was nervous about the show. C. Because her neighbor was very unfriendly. D. Because she was too shy to talk with others. 71. What does the underlined word “They” refer to (指的是)? A. The sellers. B. The earrings. C. The friends. D. The fairs. 72. What is the best title for the text? A. Better Than Fine Crafts B. Worse Than Boring Retirement C. More Than Just Sales D. Less Than Truly Success 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 F Biology and geography, it seems, are losing importance. After big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, more places, including Jilin and Anhui, are removing (移除) these two subjects from their Zhongkao exams. Having fewer subjects means less stress. However, I worry the change isn’t fully positive. When I was in school, biology and geography were two of my favorite subjects. My biology teacher opened my eyes to the wonders of life. Biology also helps answer everyday questions like how diseases spread. I also loved geography because it made the world feel bigger and more interesting. I found why some places are hot and dry while others are cold and wet. I also learned how people’s lives are shaped by where they live. Sadly, as these subjects are dropped, many students may consider them unimportant. But I believe every subject matters. Biology and geography are not just for tests.
