Let’s get up and move every day. Here are some games that we can try and enjoy the fun of sports. Rolling the iron hoop It is a traditional Chinese game that challenges balance and skills. And it was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Players hold a tool to guide the hoop, rolling it along the ground and trying to keep the hoop upright for long periods of time. This activity not only exercises the body but also develops attention and patience, making it a great way to stay active and have fun. Spinning the top It is an old Chinese game. It is over 4,000 years old. Early tops were made of different things: wood, bamboo, nuts and stones. People use a string (线, 绳子) as a “whip” to spin the top to make it turn around quickly. As time passed, this game became a popular children’s game, and sometimes a competitive sport. It’s a fun activity that can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors. The “shuttlecock” is a feather-covered toy that has been enjoyed by Chinese people for ages. There are different ways of kicking the shuttlecock as long as it stays in the air. With one leg fixed on the ground, the shuttlecock is kicked by the ankle (脚踝) of the other. Kicking the shuttlecock back and forth between two people is another way. The changing difficult ways of kicking have made it always popular among Chinese people. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. People need patience when rolling the iron hoop. B. Spinning the top is a game outside the door. C. People should use a whip to spin the iron hoop. D. Shuttlecocks are almost touching the ground. 27. Which is the best to fill in the blank “________”? A. Playing an old game B. Developing the feather C. Kicking the shuttlecock D. Increasing the shuttlecock 28. Where may this passage come from? A. Film World. B. Animal Watch. C. Culture China. D. Business Trip. 【答案】26. A 27. C 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了滚铁环、抽陀螺、踢毽子三种中国传统民间游戏，说明了它们的玩法、特点及文化背景，展现了中国传统体育文化的魅力。 【26题详解】 根据“Rolling the iron hoop”部分的描述“This activity not only exercises the body but also develops attention and patience”可知，滚铁环需要耐心，因此A选项正确。 【27题详解】 第三段介绍的是踢毽子的玩法，因此段落标题应为“Kicking the shuttlecock”。 【28题详解】 全文围绕中国传统民间游戏展开，属于文化类内容，因此最可能出自“Culture China”。 (B) The more I explored, the more puzzled I became. The buildings were large and well-built, but there were no machines or tools anywhere. The little creatures wore fine clothes, but there were no tailors and no shops. No one did any work. They spent their time playing, bathing in the river, eating, and sleeping. I could not understand how the place continued to work. Who did the work? Where were the factories and kitchens? I began to think about the pedestal. Why was my machine inside it? And what was happening at the bottom of the deep wells? I needed someone to explain these matters to me. Very soon, I found someone. It was on my fourth day in this strange place. I was walking along the path by the river when one of the little people fell in. I could see that she — I felt like it was a female — could not swim. To my surprise, none of the other little creatures showed any interest in her. They were letting her drown. I quickly took off my clothes and dove into the river. I swam toward the little woman and pulled her toward the river bank and onto the path. I left her there. I did not expect gratitude. However, I was wrong. In the afternoon, she ran up to me and gave me a bunch of flowers. She kissed my hands. We sat down and talked as much as we were able. She told me her name was Weena. This was the beginning of a friendship. Sadly, it lasted only a week. During this time, she followed me everywhere. She was like a child that will not leave the side of her mother. Even at night, she wanted to be with me. I realized that her fear was not of being alone at night. She was afraid of the dark. They were all afraid of the dark. As soon as night came, they all went into the halls and stayed together until morning.” — Taken from The Time Machine 29. What puzzled the time traveler? A. He couldn’t find his time machine. B. He wondered who did the work. C. He couldn’t see any of his friends. D. He couldn’t know where he was. 30. Why did the man jump into the river? A. Because he wanted to swim for fun. B. Because he wanted to catch a creature. C. Because he fell into the river by accident. D. Because he wanted to save Weena from water. 31. According to the passage, Which is the right order of the events? a. The man feels puzzled for no one works. b. Weena gives the man a bunch of flowers. c. The man saves Weena from a river bravely. d. The man talks to Weena and knows her name. A. c-b-a-d B. a-c-b-d C. b-a-c-d D. a-c-d-b 32. What can we infer about the other creatures? A. They can’t swim, either. B. They are too afraid to help. C. They don’t help each other in danger. D. They wait for the man to save her. 【答案】29. B 30. D 31. B 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，节选自《时间机器》，讲述了时间旅行者在陌生世界中的经历：他因当地无人工作却维持运转而感到困惑，在河边救了落水的小人Weena，两人建立了友谊，并发现当地生物都害怕黑暗。 【29题详解】 文章第一段“I could not understand how the place continued to work. Who did the work? Where were the factories and kitchens?”表明，时间旅行者疑惑的是谁在做这些工作。 【30题详解】 文章第三段“I could see that she — I felt like it was a female — could not swim. To my surprise, none of the other little creatures showed any interest in her. They were letting her drown. I quickly took off my clothes and dove into the river. I swam toward the little woman and pulled her toward the river bank and onto the path.”表明，男人跳进河里是为了救Weena。 【31题详解】 根据文章发展顺序：首先第一段提到旅行者对没人工作感到困惑（a）；然后第三段提到第四天他救了Weena（c）；接着第四段提到下午Weena送花给他（b）；最后他们交谈并得知名字（d）。因此正确顺序是a-c-b-d。 【32题详解】 文章第三段“To my surprise, none of the other little creatures showed any interest in her. They were letting her drown.”表明，其他生物在同伴遇到危险时，没有提供任何帮助，由此可推断它们在危险中不会互相帮助。 (C) Double victory! On March 28 and 29, 2026, a motorcycle made by the Chinese brand ZXMOTO won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK). WSBK is not only a competition where riders race for speed, but also a stage for companies to present their production ability. The victory marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. For many years, the sport was controlled by big motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW and Japan’s Honda. Zhang Xue, 39, founder (创始人) of ZXMOTO, told Xinhua that the winning motorcycle has a more powerful engine (发动机) and lighter body than other motorcycles in the race. Years ago, it was almost impossible for a Chinese brand to build such high-performance motorcycles. That’s because there were no powerful China-made engines. Key technologies to improve engine performance were also locked by leading foreign companies. Zhang has seen and taken part in the development of China’s motorcycle industry. As a motorcycle lover, he has worked as a repairman and a racer. In 2013, he went to Chongqing, China’s motorcycle capital, where he began building his first motorcycle. Two years ago, Zhang founded ZXMOTO and focused on researching and developing engines. His aim matches China’s goal of high-quality development and innovation. Today, Chongqing is home to more than.40 motorcycle makers and over 400 components (零部件) producers. “In only one market, you can find all the components you need to build a motorcycle,” Zhang told Xinhua. “I believe our victory will make China’s motorcycle industry more confident, and force the international community to reconsider how they view us.” 33. Why couldn’t Chinese brands build high-performance motorcycles? A. Because Chinese makers didn’t want to race. B. Because Chinese riders were not good enough: C. Because there were no powerful China-made engines. D. Because foreign brands stopped selling motorcycles in China. 34. What can we learn about Zhang Xue from the passage? A. He started ZXMOTO in his thirties. B. He won the WSBK race all by himself. C. He used to work as a waiter and a racer. D. He learned about motorcycles from school. 35. What does the underlined word “innovation” mean? A. instruction B. creation C. decision D. connection 36. From Zhang Xue’s words, how important is ZXMOTO’s victory to China? A. It will help sell more motorcycles in Portugal. B. It will stop foreign brands joining future races. C. It will lower the price of making engines in China. D. It will make the industry confident and change its image. 【答案】33. C 34. A 35. B 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了中国摩托车品牌ZXMOTO在2026年世界超级摩托车锦标赛（WSBK）葡萄牙站中夺得双冠，这是中国摩托车品牌首次在该赛事中获胜，并介绍了创始人张雪的背景、中国摩托车产业的发展历程以及此次胜利的意义。 【33题详解】 第四段指出：“Years ago, it was almost impossible for a Chinese brand to build such high-performance motorcycles. That’s because there were no powerful China-made engines.”，说明过去中国品牌无法制造高性能摩托车的原因是缺乏国产的强劲发动机。 【34题详解】 第三段指出：“Zhang Xue, 39, founder (创始人) of ZXMOTO”，第六段指出：“Two years ago, Zhang founded ZXMOTO”，说明张雪创立ZXMOTO时37岁，属于三十多岁。 【35题详解】 第六段指出：“Two years ago, Zhang…focused on researching and developing engines. His aim matches China’s goal of high‑quality development and innovation.”，说明innovation意为“创新、创造”，选项creation意为“创造/创新”，和innovation词义相同。 【36题详解】 最后一段张雪的原话：“I believe our victory will make China’s motorcycle industry more confident, and force the international community to reconsider how they view us.”，说明这次胜利会提振产业信心，改变中国摩托产业的国际形象。 (D) Seed dispersal (散布) is an interesting topic of study. It includes the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants disperse seeds in a variety of ways. Wind, water and even fire help spread plant seeds. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are light and hairy. One dandelion can produce up to a hundred seeds. As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind, it is likely that some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow. A milkweed pod is filled with hundreds of seeds that can fly in the wind. Both milkweed and dandelion seeds have been known to travel hundreds of miles on a wind current. Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion (爆炸) to send their seeds away. As a pea pod dries, it will burst and send seeds flying in every direction. Violets use explosive dispersal as well. When the seeds are ready, the pod will open with a pop, ejecting seeds with surprising force. Many plants that live near water, such as the coconut tree, have seeds that can float and be carried great distances by the water. If dispersed into an ocean, a coconut can even be transported to another continent. Animals help plants disperse seeds in several ways. Some plants, like the burdock, have barbs that can get caught in the fur of animals passing by. An animal may carry the seed to a new place before the seed gets shaken off its fur. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. A forest fire can destroy most plants in an area, creating an open space. Seeds designed to take use of this space live in cones held together by resin (树脂). The glue-like resin melts at the temperature of a forest fire, allowing the seeds to be released to begin regrowth of the forest. 37. Why do some plants have light and hairy parts? A. To help the seed fly on water. B. To help the seed stick to animal fur. C. To help the seed be carried by wind. D. To help the seed explode from its pod. 38. What plant uses explosive dispersal? A. The dandelion. B. The violet. C. The coconut. D. The burdock. 39. How does the writer organize the ideas? A. In the time order. B. In the space order. C. From general to specific. D. From specific to general. 40. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Role of Animals in Seed Dispersal. B. The Reason for Seed Travelling Miles. C. Natural Disasters That Help Plants Grow. D. Ways of Plants Spreading Seeds in Nature. 【答案】37. C 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了植物通过风、水、动物、爆炸和火等多种方式传播种子的有趣现象，并分别介绍了每种方式的具体特点和代表植物。 【37题详解】 根据第二段内容“Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are light and hairy...As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind...”可知，蒲公英等植物种子轻且有毛，是为了借助风力传播。 【38题详解】 根据第三段内容“Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion...Violets use explosive dispersal as well.” 可知，紫罗兰（violets）利用爆炸方式传播种子。 【39题详解】 文章第一段总述种子散布有多种方式（general），随后第二至六段分别具体介绍了风、爆炸、水、动物和火等具体的传播方式（specific），因此文章结构是从一般到具体。 【40题详解】 全文围绕植物如何传播种子展开，分别介绍了风传、爆炸、水传、动物携带及火传等多种方式。D选项“自然界中植物传播种子的方式”最能概括全文主旨，其他选项均只涉及部分内容。 第二节；阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能够填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 You probably know what an earthquake is. ____41____ A recent study by NASA shows that the moon is producing moonquakes because it is shrinking (缩小). Don’t panic. As planetary scientist Thomas Watters comforts us, “This isn’t anything to worry about. ____42____ It’s not going anywhere.” So what exactly is going on? After examining thousands of high-resolution photographs taken by a NASA orbiter, US scientists discovered faults (断层) on the moon’s surface that were formed by recent movement on the moon. Formed out of pieces of rock with a hot core, the moon expanded (膨胀) when it was born. ____43____ As it shrinks, it produces faults. These faults can be several metres long and dozens of metres tall, ____44____ But unlike the soft skin of the raisin, the moon’s crust is hard and stiff, and therefore causes moonquakes when it shrinks. People believed for a long time that the moon had already stopped shrinking billions of years ago. ____45____ “These faults are still active and likely producing moonquakes today as the moon continues to gradually cool and shrink,” Watters said. Looking up at the night sky, you might feel a bit differently about the moon now. After all, it is not a cold dead lump, but an active neighbor of Earth that is still changing now. A. But what about a moonquake? B. Moonquakes are more dangerous. C. They are similar to the wrinkles in raisins. D. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. E. However, these new findings prove that is not true. F. Later as it lost energy, it gradually cooled down and began to shrink. G. Scientists worry this means the moon will not appear any more in the future. 【答案】41. A 42. D 43. F 44. C 45. E 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了NASA研究发现月球因收缩而产生月震，并解释了月球的演化过程。 【41题详解】 上文提到你可能知道地震是什么，下文说NASA研究表明月球因缩小而产生月震。A项“But what about a moonquake?”引出月震的话题，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【42题详解】 上文提到不必恐慌，科学家说这没什么好担心的，下文说月球哪儿也不会去。D项“The moon may be shrinking, but not by much.”说明月球可能在缩小但幅度不大，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【43题详解】 上文提到月球由岩石碎片和炽热内核构成，诞生时膨胀，下文说随着收缩产生断层。F项“Later as it lost energy, it gradually cooled down and began to shrink.”说明后来失去能量后冷却并开始收缩，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【44题详解】 上文提到断层有数米长、数十米高，下文说与葡萄干的皱皮不同，月球地壳坚硬。C项“They are similar to the wrinkles in raisins.”说明这些断层类似于葡萄干的皱皮，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 【45题详解】 上文提到人们长期以来认为月球数十亿年前就已停止收缩，下文说这些断层今天仍然活跃，可能仍在产生月震。E项“However, these new findings prove that is not true.”说明这些新发现证明之前的观点不正确，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共55分） 四、词汇应用（本题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整正确的单词。 Have you heard of these words: sweaty bodies and sparkling eyes?

It helped people know which way they were going, especially when there were no roads, signs, or stars to guide them. The earliest Chinese compasses were made during the Warring States Period. People used a naturally magnetic stone called lodestone (磁石). This stone could point north and south on its own. Later, Chinese scientists discovered that iron could be turned into a magnet by rubbing it with lodestone. This led to the first magnetic needle compass. In the beginning, compasses were used in feng shui (风水), the study of how to place buildings and objects in harmony with nature. During the Song Dynasty, around the 11th century, people began using compasses for navigation, especially at sea. A small magnetic needle was placed on a piece of wood floating in water. It would turn to point north, helping sailors find their way even on cloudy nights. This was a huge breakthrough for travel, trade, and discovery. The Chinese compass later spread to the Arab world and Europe through trade routes. With the compass, sailors could explore farther and safer, leading to new trade routes and cultural exchanges around the globe. It helped start the Age of Exploration. In some ways, it changed world history. Today, most people use GPS on their phones, but the idea of finding direction with a tool started with the ancient Chinese compass. Modern compasses are used in science, hiking, aviation, and ships. This small tool still helps us move safely and confidently. The compass shows how Chinese wisdom has guided the world — not just on maps, but in the spirit of discovery and progress. 66.

Let’s get up and move every day. Here are some games that we can try and enjoy the fun of sports. Rolling the iron hoop It is a traditional Chinese game that challenges balance and skills. And it was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Players hold a tool to guide the hoop, rolling it along the ground and trying to keep the hoop upright for long periods of time. This activity not only exercises the body but also develops attention and patience, making it a great way to stay active and have fun. Spinning the top It is an old Chinese game. It is over 4,000 years old. Early tops were made of different things: wood, bamboo, nuts and stones. People use a string (线, 绳子) as a “whip” to spin the top to make it turn around quickly. As time passed, this game became a popular children’s game, and sometimes a competitive sport. It’s a fun activity that can be enjoyed indoors or outdoors. The “shuttlecock” is a feather-covered toy that has been enjoyed by Chinese people for ages. There are different ways of kicking the shuttlecock as long as it stays in the air. With one leg fixed on the ground, the shuttlecock is kicked by the ankle (脚踝) of the other. Kicking the shuttlecock back and forth between two people is another way. The changing difficult ways of kicking have made it always popular among Chinese people. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. People need patience when rolling the iron hoop. B. Spinning the top is a game outside the door. C. People should use a whip to spin the iron hoop. D. Shuttlecocks are almost touching the ground. 27. Which is the best to fill in the blank “________”? A. Playing an old game B. Developing the feather C. Kicking the shuttlecock D. Increasing the shuttlecock 28. Where may this passage come from? A. Film World. B. Animal Watch. C. Culture China. D. Business Trip. (B) The more I explored, the more puzzled I became. The buildings were large and well-built, but there were no machines or tools anywhere. The little creatures wore fine clothes, but there were no tailors and no shops. No one did any work. They spent their time playing, bathing in the river, eating, and sleeping. I could not understand how the place continued to work. Who did the work? Where were the factories and kitchens? I began to think about the pedestal. Why was my machine inside it? And what was happening at the bottom of the deep wells? I needed someone to explain these matters to me. Very soon, I found someone. It was on my fourth day in this strange place. I was walking along the path by the river when one of the little people fell in. I could see that she — I felt like it was a female — could not swim. To my surprise, none of the other little creatures showed any interest in her. They were letting her drown. I quickly took off my clothes and dove into the river. I swam toward the little woman and pulled her toward the river bank and onto the path. I left her there. I did not expect gratitude. However, I was wrong. In the afternoon, she ran up to me and gave me a bunch of flowers. She kissed my hands. We sat down and talked as much as we were able. She told me her name was Weena. This was the beginning of a friendship. Sadly, it lasted only a week. During this time, she followed me everywhere. She was like a child that will not leave the side of her mother. Even at night, she wanted to be with me. I realized that her fear was not of being alone at night. She was afraid of the dark. They were all afraid of the dark. As soon as night came, they all went into the halls and stayed together until morning.” — Taken from The Time Machine 29. What puzzled the time traveler? A. He couldn’t find his time machine. B.

On March 28 and 29, 2026, a motorcycle made by the Chinese brand ZXMOTO won both races at the Portuguese round of the Superbike World Championship (WSBK). WSBK is not only a competition where riders race for speed, but also a stage for companies to present their production ability. The victory marks the first time a Chinese motorcycle brand has won this event. For many years, the sport was controlled by big motorcycle brands such as Italy’s Ducati, Germany’s BMW and Japan’s Honda. Zhang Xue, 39, founder (创始人) of ZXMOTO, told Xinhua that the winning motorcycle has a more powerful engine (发动机) and lighter body than other motorcycles in the race. Years ago, it was almost impossible for a Chinese brand to build such high-performance motorcycles. That’s because there were no powerful China-made engines. Key technologies to improve engine performance were also locked by leading foreign companies. Zhang has seen and taken part in the development of China’s motorcycle industry. As a motorcycle lover, he has worked as a repairman and a racer. In 2013, he went to Chongqing, China’s motorcycle capital, where he began building his first motorcycle. Two years ago, Zhang founded ZXMOTO and focused on researching and developing engines. His aim matches China’s goal of high-quality development and innovation. Today, Chongqing is home to more than.40 motorcycle makers and over 400 components (零部件) producers. “In only one market, you can find all the components you need to build a motorcycle,” Zhang told Xinhua. “I believe our victory will make China’s motorcycle industry more confident, and force the international community to reconsider how they view us.” 33. Why couldn’t Chinese brands build high-performance motorcycles? A. Because Chinese makers didn’t want to race. B. Because Chinese riders were not good enough: C. Because there were no powerful China-made engines. D. Because foreign brands stopped selling motorcycles in China. 34. What can we learn about Zhang Xue from the passage? A. He started ZXMOTO in his thirties. B. He won the WSBK race all by himself. C. He used to work as a waiter and a racer. D. He learned about motorcycles from school. 35. What does the underlined word “innovation” mean? A. instruction B. creation C. decision D. connection 36. From Zhang Xue’s words, how important is ZXMOTO’s victory to China? A. It will help sell more motorcycles in Portugal. B. It will stop foreign brands joining future races. C. It will lower the price of making engines in China. D. It will make the industry confident and change its image. (D) Seed dispersal (散布) is an interesting topic of study. It includes the movement or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants disperse seeds in a variety of ways. Wind, water and even fire help spread plant seeds. Some plants, such as dandelions, have seeds that are light and hairy. One dandelion can produce up to a hundred seeds. As dandelion seeds are dispersed by the wind, it is likely that some seeds will land in areas in which new plants can grow. A milkweed pod is filled with hundreds of seeds that can fly in the wind. Both milkweed and dandelion seeds have been known to travel hundreds of miles on a wind current. Some plants, such as peas and violets, use an explosion (爆炸) to send their seeds away. As a pea pod dries, it will burst and send seeds flying in every direction. Violets use explosive dispersal as well. When the seeds are ready, the pod will open with a pop, ejecting seeds with surprising force. Many plants that live near water, such as the coconut tree, have seeds that can float and be carried great distances by the water. If dispersed into an ocean, a coconut can even be transported to another continent. Animals help plants disperse seeds in several ways. Some plants, like the burdock, have barbs that can get caught in the fur of animals passing by. An animal may carry the seed to a new place before the seed gets shaken off its fur. Fire is a less common method of seed dispersal. A forest fire can destroy most plants in an area, creating an open space. Seeds designed to take use of this space live in cones held together by resin (树脂). The glue-like resin melts at the temperature of a forest fire, allowing the seeds to be released to begin regrowth of the forest. 37. Why do some plants have light and hairy parts? A. To help the seed fly on water. B. To help the seed stick to animal fur. C. To help the seed be carried by wind. D. To help the seed explode from its pod. 38. What plant uses explosive dispersal? A. The dandelion. B. The violet. C. The coconut. D. The burdock. 39. How does the writer organize the ideas? A. In the time order. B. In the space order. C. From general to specific. D. From specific to general. 40. Which is the best title for this passage? A. The Role of Animals in Seed Dispersal. B. The Reason for Seed Travelling Miles. C. Natural Disasters That Help Plants Grow. D. Ways of Plants Spreading Seeds in Nature. 第二节；阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能够填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 You probably know what an earthquake is. ____41____ A recent study by NASA shows that the moon is producing moonquakes because it is shrinking (缩小). Don’t panic. As planetary scientist Thomas Watters comforts us, “This isn’t anything to worry about. ____42____ It’s not going anywhere.” So what exactly is going on? After examining thousands of high-resolution photographs taken by a NASA orbiter, US scientists discovered faults (断层) on the moon’s surface that were formed by recent movement on the moon. Formed out of pieces of rock with a hot core, the moon expanded (膨胀) when it was born. ____43____ As it shrinks, it produces faults. These faults can be several metres long and dozens of metres tall, ____44____ But unlike the soft skin of the raisin, the moon’s crust is hard and stiff, and therefore causes moonquakes when it shrinks. People believed for a long time that the moon had already stopped shrinking billions of years ago. ____45____ “These faults are still active and likely producing moonquakes today as the moon continues to gradually cool and shrink,” Watters said. Looking up at the night sky, you might feel a bit differently about the moon now. After all, it is not a cold dead lump, but an active neighbor of Earth that is still changing now. A. But what about a moonquake? B. Moonquakes are more dangerous. C. They are similar to the wrinkles in raisins. D. The moon may be shrinking, but not by much. E. However, these new findings prove that is not true. F. Later as it lost energy, it gradually cooled down and began to shrink. G. Scientists worry this means the moon will not appear any more in the future. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共55分） 四、词汇应用（本题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分） 根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整正确的单词。 Have you heard of these words: sweaty bodies and sparkling eyes?

It helped people know which way they were going, especially when there were no roads, signs, or stars to guide them. The earliest Chinese compasses were made during the Warring States Period. People used a naturally magnetic stone called lodestone (磁石). This stone could point north and south on its own. Later, Chinese scientists discovered that iron could be turned into a magnet by rubbing it with lodestone. This led to the first magnetic needle compass. In the beginning, compasses were used in feng shui (风水), the study of how to place buildings and objects in harmony with nature. During the Song Dynasty, around the 11th century, people began using compasses for navigation, especially at sea. A small magnetic needle was placed on a piece of wood floating in water. It would turn to point north, helping sailors find their way even on cloudy nights. This was a huge breakthrough for travel, trade, and discovery. The Chinese compass later spread to the Arab world and Europe through trade routes. With the compass, sailors could explore farther and safer, leading to new trade routes and cultural exchanges around the globe. It helped start the Age of Exploration. In some ways, it changed world history. Today, most people use GPS on their phones, but the idea of finding direction with a tool started with the ancient Chinese compass. Modern compasses are used in science, hiking, aviation, and ships. This small tool still helps us move safely and confidently. The compass shows how Chinese wisdom has guided the world — not just on maps, but in the spirit of discovery and progress. 66.
