Every day, more than 500 million packages are sent all around the country. That means nearly 6,000 packages are sent each second. How does it work so quickly? Technology is the key. In the past, workers did almost everything by hand. Now, machines and computers help with most of the work. This makes sending packages faster and cheaper than before. First, people used to write addresses on the paper. Now, they use electronic orders. For example, when someone wants to send a package by using the phone, the computer system quickly plans the whole trip: which courier (快递员) will pick it up, which car will carry it, and what time it will arrive. This saves a lot of time. Also, machines now help sort (分类) packages. In sorting centers, packages move fast on the belts—about 240 every minute! Machines scan each one and send it to the right place. Not many people are needed here. In the past, many workers had to stand and sort everything by hand. It was much slower. What’s more, some companies now use more advanced tools like robots and self-driving cars. These machines can deliver packages by themselves in many cities. They help save time and money. All these changes show how technology makes China’s express delivery fast and smart. It helps people get their things more quickly and easily. 43．What advantage do electronic orders have? A．They make packages more beautiful. B．They help save a lot of time. C．They need more people to work. D．They cost much more money. 44．Which sentence uses “advanced” with the same meaning as the underlined word? advanced /əd’vɑːnst/   ①高等的   ②先进的   ③ (发展) 晚期的 A．This book is for advanced learners of Chinese. B．His cancer has reached an advanced stage. C．He is taking an advanced English course. D．The hospital bought advanced medical equipment. 45．What is the author’s attitude towards the development of express delivery in China? A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Proud. D．Uninterested. 【答案】43．B 44．D 45．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国快递服务因技术进步而变得高效智能，具体阐述了电子订单、机器分拣、先进工具等如何提升快递速度与降低成本。 43．文章第二段指出“the computer system quickly plans the whole trip...This saves a lot of time”，直接说明电子订单通过快速规划配送路径节省了大量时间。 44．文章第二段指出“some companies now use more advanced tools like robots and self-driving cars”，其中“advanced”修饰工具，意为“先进的”。选项D“The hospital bought advanced medical equipment”中“advanced”同样修饰设备，表示“先进的”，与原文词义一致。 45．文章最后一段指出“All these changes show how technology makes China’s express delivery fast and smart. It helps people get their things more quickly and easily”，通过强调技术带来的积极影响，体现了作者对中国快递发展的肯定与自豪态度。 Passage 2 （2026·陕西渭南高新区·二模） In the mountainous areas of Hainan Province, getting medical help used to be a big challenge. For example, Cheng Chuanhe, a villager from Qiongzhong County, needed a blood test, but the local clinic (诊所) didn’t have the needed tools. In the past, he would have had to make a long and tiring trip. Now, drones (无人机) are changing this situation. In 2022, Qiongzhong built a county-wide medical system to help local people. However, 80% of the land is covered by mountains, which makes travel arduous. That’s when drone technology came to help. In June 2025, Hainan’s first low-altitude medical drone network started to work. Two drones fly along four different paths, connecting 15 town health centers. So how does it work? First, a doctor at a local health center takes a patient’s blood sample (样本). Then, a drone is prepared at a nearby drone base. A worker completes the pre-flight checks. With a simple touch on a screen, the drone takes off and follows a preset path. When it arrives at the health center, a doctor puts the blood sample inside. In just over 40 minutes, the sample reaches the county hospital. About two hours later, the test result is sent back to the local clinic through the government’s online platform. These special drones can fly up to 30 kilometers, carry up to 9 kilograms of medical goods, and are very easy to control. Thanks to this “air path”, lab samples, emergency medicines, and other medical supplies now reach mountain villages quickly and safely. 22．Why does the writer mention Cheng Chuanhe at the beginning of the passage? A．To show he is a famous doctor. B．To describe a real-life example of the problem. C．To explain how to drive a drone. D．To tell readers that mountain life is interesting. 23．The underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A．difficult B．safe C．simple D．peaceful 24．What is the correct order of the steps in Hainan’s medical drone network? a. Fly to the hospital.    b. Get the drone ready.    c. Take a blood sample.    d. Send the drone to get the sample.   A．a→b→c→d B．b→c→a→d C．c→b→d→a D．c→a→d→b 25．What is the best title for this passage? A．How to Take a Blood Sample Correctly B．A Hainan Mountain Villager Lives a Very Simple Life C．A Simple Guide to Flying a Medical Drone Safely D．Drones Bring Better Health Care to Mountain Villages 【答案】22．B 23．A 24．C 25．D 【分析】本文介绍了海南省山区利用无人机解决医疗运输难题，为山村居民提供更快捷的医疗服务。 22．由第一段内容可知，作者用Cheng Chuanhe的真实事例说明山区看病难的现状。 23．第二段“80% of the land is covered by mountains”暗示山路难行。safe安全的；simple简单的；peaceful和平的，均不符合语境。 24．根据第三段步骤：“takes a patient’s blood sample”对应c；“a drone is prepared”对应b；“the drone takes off... a doctor puts the blood sample inside”指出按预设路线去取血液样本，对应d；“...the sample reaches the county hospital”血液样本送往医院，对应a。所以顺序为c→b→d→a。 25．第一段介绍海南山区因山路难行就医不便，第二、三、四段讲述了医疗无人机投入使用，快速运送血样、药品，给山村带来更好的医疗服务。选项D可作为最佳标题。 Passage 3 (2026九·陕西省汉中市·二模) Since the early 1990s, scientists have used digital technology to collect information about the Mogao Caves (洞穴) in Gansu Province. So far, it has shared plenty of information on the website Digital Dunhuang. Even so, humans have never stopped learning about culture with technology. Recently, Huawei has started a new way to show the Mogao Caves. By using virtual reality (虚拟现实) technology, it can offer visitors a 360-degree virtual tour of the Mogao Caves. By putting on a virtual reality headset (耳机), visitors can have a tour exactly as they are in reality and get more information. Moreover, the visitors can view paintings without standing near them or touching them, which helps protect the Mogao Caves. So we can keep a better balance between protection and tourism. The tour brings a really new experience. When people visit the place, they not only get to the real cave but also can better enjoy the beautiful painting art through the high-tech experience. Schools are also using this technology to help students comprehend history safely and interactively (交互式地). In the future, Huawei will continue to develop a more colourful virtual experience for more and more visitors. 43．Why can virtual reality technology help protect the Mogao Caves? A．It makes visitors visit the caves only on the website. B．It stops all the visitors from going to the caves in reality. C．It moves all the paintings to a digital museum for visitors to enjoy. D．It lets visitors see the paintings without getting close or touching them. 44．The underlined word “comprehend” means “________” in the passage. A．understand B．visit C．forget D．create 45．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The history of the Mogao Caves in Gansu Province. B．How to build the website Digital Dunhuang successfully. C．What scientists do to protect the culture of the Mogao Caves. D．A new high-tech way to show the Mogao Caves and its advantages. 【答案】43．D 44．A 45．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家利用数字技术和华为虚拟现实技术展示、保护莫高窟的方式，阐述了该技术在莫高窟游览、文化保护及教育方面带来的新体验与优势。 43．第二段明确指出“the visitors can view paintings without standing near them or touching them, which helps protect the Mogao Caves”，直接说明虚拟现实技术能让游客无需靠近或触摸壁画，从而保护莫高窟。 44．结合语境“Schools are also using this technology to help students comprehend history safely and interactively”，学校利用技术帮助学生安全、交互式地了解历史，“comprehend”在此处意为“理解、领会”。 45． 文章首段提及数字敦煌网站，重点阐述华为利用虚拟现实技术展示莫高窟的新方式，随后说明该技术带来的新体验、保护优势及教育应用，核心是介绍展示莫高窟的高新科技方式及其优势。 Passage 4 （2026·西安铁一中陆港初级中学·适应性训练（二）） People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. A new study adds chickens to the list. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 33．What does the new study tell us? A．Scientists know nothing about animals’ feelings. B．Chickens never feel happy or sad. C．Humans can know chickens’ feelings from their calls. D．All animals can understand humans’ words. 34．Which picture is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A． B． C． D． 35．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Chickens always make loud sounds when they are sad. B．Only people with experience can tell chickens’ emotions. C．Humans are born with the ability to understand chickens’ feelings. D．Scientists have already developed a program to help farmers. 【答案】33．C 34．D 35．C 【导语】本文介绍了一项关于鸡的情绪的新研究：人类可以通过鸡的叫声判断它的情绪，这一发现有望助力养鸡行业的技术发展。 33．文中第一段提到“It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.”，说明这项新研究表明人类可以通过鸡的叫声知晓它的情绪。 34．根据第2段“When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls.”可知，鸡看到食物时会很高兴，发出了快速而响亮的声音。对应声波图中频率高、波形密集的选项D。 35．文中第二段提到“When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises…没有食物时，鸡会发出低沉而长的声音”，并非悲伤时大声，错故排除A：文中第三段提到“some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens部分志愿者甚至没有照顾鸡的经验，也能正确判断”，并非只有有经验的人才能判断，故排除B；文中第四段提到“The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens.结果表明人类天生就有理解鸡情绪的能力”，C正确；文中第四段提到“Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings.一些科学家正在研发智能程序”，并非已经开发完成，D错误。 主题01 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·陕西宝鸡南寨初中·模拟） The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala presented a wonderful dance program called He Hua Shen. It was not just a dance; it was a beautiful story about traditional Chinese culture. The dance was inspired by a beautiful jade pendant (玉佩) from the Qing Dynasty in the Palace Museum. This pendant had special flowers carved (雕刻) on it for each month of the year. Following this idea, the dance told stories of the “Twelve Flower Goddesses”. Each goddess stood for a different flower. These flowers are not just pretty; they carry deep cultural meanings in China, such as purity (纯洁), strength, and good luck. The show was a perfect mix of the old and the new. The dancers wore beautiful clothes with ancient patterns. Their designs came from real clothes found in museums, so they looked very historical. The stage, however, used modern technology like AI to create magical backgrounds. For example, when the peach blossom (桃花) goddess appeared, the stage looked like a garden full of peach trees. This clever use of technology made the ancient story feel fresh and exciting. He Hua Shen was more than just entertainment. It helped people learn about Chinese history, poems, and art in a fun way. By connecting traditional culture with modern stage skills, the program made young people feel proud of their cultural heritage (遗产).

A bronze vessel (器皿) named He Zun was unearthed, which has since become a national treasure. He Zun was made during the early Western Zhou Dynasty, about 3,000 years ago. It stands at 38.5 centimeters tall with a square body and a round mouth, featuring four large, hollow (空心的) decorative ridges (脊). The patterns on it, like the banana leaf patterns at the mouth, the silkworm patterns on the neck, and the taotie patterns (饕餮纹) on the body, show the high-level craftsmanship (手艺) of that time. What makes He Zun especially significant is the 122-character inscription (铭文) on its inner bottom. This inscription records important historical events. It mentions that King Cheng of Zhou continued King Wu’s ambition and built the Eastern Capital, Luoyi, as the center of the world, stating “宅兹中国 (zhái zī zhōng guó)”, which means “live in the middle kingdom”. This is the earliest written record of the term “中国 (zhōng guó)”, or “China”. It offers important evidence for studying the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the origin of the concept of “China”. Now, He Zun is carefully preserved in the Baoji Bronze Museum, attracting numbers of visitors every year who come to admire this ancient relic and feel the long-standing history and culture of China. 32．When did people find He Zun? A．In 1975. B．In the early Western Zhou Dynasty. C．In 1963. D．3,000 years ago. 33．What does the underlined word “unearthed” mean in Chinese? A．出售 B．出土 C．制造 D．收藏 34．What does the word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．He Zun. B．The inner bottom. C．The 122-character inscription. D．The center of the world. 35．What is the best title for this passage? A．The Appearance of He Zun. B．He Zun: A Bronze Vessel with Great Importance. C．Baoji: The Hometown of He Zun. D．The Inscription on He Zun. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了国宝何尊的出土时间、形制纹饰、铭文价值及其现存博物馆等相关知识。 32．根据第1段“In 1963, a remarkable discovery was made in Baoji, Shaanxi. A bronze vessel (器皿) named He Zun was unearthed, which has since become a national treasure.”可知，何尊于1963年出土。 33．根据第1段“In 1963, a remarkable discovery was made in Baoji, Shaanxi. A bronze vessel (器皿) named He Zun was unearthed, which has since become a national treasure.”可知，“unearthed”的词根是earth“土；土地”，结合“文物被发现”的语境可知，这个词的意思是“出土”。 34．根据第3段中的“What makes He Zun especially significant is the 122-character inscription (铭文) on its inner bottom. This inscription records important historical events. It mentions that King Cheng of Zhou continued King Wu’s ambition and built the Eastern Capital, Luoyi, as the center of the world, stating ‘宅兹中国 (zhái zī zhōng guó)’, which means ‘live in the middle kingdom’.”可知，此处“It”指代的是前文中提到的122的字铭文。 35．文章不仅介绍了何尊的出土时间和它的外观，还重点介绍了它的历史价值、文化意义，选项B“何尊：一件极具重要性的青铜器”全面概括了全文内容，可以作为文章的标题。 主题03 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 3 (2026·陕西省榆林市定边县·二模) Seeing someone who appears to be walking on a cloud might sound like a dream. But you can find this sight in the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. What’s special about the salar (盐湖) is that this thin pool goes on for miles, creating a seemingly endless natural “mirror”. About 40,000 years ago, the area was a large basin — a low place with mountains around. As it rained, the mountains stopped the rainwater from running away and the rainwater stayed and collected there, forming a huge lake. The lake had plenty of salt inside. Over thousands of years, as the climate became drier, the huge lake slowly dried up. After it dried, a layer (层) of salt was left on the surface. Now, the area is still a salt flat. When the salt was covered with a thin layer of water, the endless natural “mirror” was created. With about 10 billion tons of salt lying around, it’s no surprise that the salt here is a big business. But the real treasure lies under the ground. Lithium (锂), also called “the white gold”, is found under the salt. It is used to make smartphones. Besides salt and lithium, tourism also brings a lot of money. Every year, thousands of visitors come to see the amazing natural mirror. However, the growing number of visitors is causing problems. Some visitors leave rubbish behind. Others walk on the salt in the wrong way and compromise the thin water layer that creates the “mirror”. If these problems are not solved, the salar may lose its magic one day. 22．Which order shows how the Salar de Uyuni formed? a. The huge lake dried up slowly. b. A layer of salt appeared on the surface. c. Rainwater collected and formed a huge lake. d. There was a large basin with mountains around. A．d → c → a → b B．c → d → b → a C．c → a → b → d D．d → a → b → c 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph? A．Lithium is found on top of the salt. B．Salt is not very important to the local business. C．Tourism brings little money to the area. D．People use lithium to make smartphones. 24．The underlined word “compromise” in the last paragraph probably means “________” A．keep… safe B．put… into danger C．make… clean D．bring… back to life 25．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Magic Natural “Mirror” in Bolivia B．Environmental Protection in Bolivia C．Lithium: The White Gold D．Travel Tips for Salar de Uyuni 【答案】22．A 23．D 24．B 25．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了玻利维亚的乌尤尼盐沼的形成。当盐层被浅水覆盖时，形成了无边无际的自然“镜面”。文章还提到了盐矿开采、地下的锂资源以及旅游业带来的经济效益和游客造成的环境问题。 22．第二段中提到：该地区曾是一个被山环绕的大盆地 (d)；雨水聚集形成一个大湖 (c)；随着气候变干，大湖慢慢干涸 (a)；干涸后表面留下一层盐 (b)。所以正确顺序为d→c→a→b，选项A“d→c→a→b”正确。 23．第三段中提到“Lithium... is used to make smartphones.”，这说明锂被用来制造智能手机，所以选项D“People use lithium to make smartphones.”正确。 24．最后一段中提到“Others walk on the salt in the wrong way and compromise the thin water layer that creates the ‘mirror’.”，表示“其他人以错误的方式在盐上行走，______形成‘镜面’的薄水层”。结合后文“If these problems are not solved, the salar may lose its magic one day.”，说明错误行走会破坏水层，所以“compromise”意为“使……处于危险/破坏”，选项B“put...into danger”正确。 25．全文围绕玻利维亚乌尤尼盐沼展开，介绍了其形成过程、自然奇观“镜面”、盐和锂资源、旅游业以及面临的环境问题，核心是这一神奇的自然“镜面”，所以选项A“The Magic Natural ‘Mirror’ in Bolivia”最合适。 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 （2026·榆林高新二中·二模） Teenagers often go online when they are bored, but they find it can sometimes bring more anxiety (焦虑). That’s when the “Boredom Buster” comes to help. It offers advice on keeping busy depending on how you feel. The Boredom Buster is a part of an app called Saplings. It was made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind. Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US, the app was born out of her worry for people of her age with mental (精神的) health problems. “A lot of mental health resources out there are for adults or younger kids,” Kumbala told The Washington Post. She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help. While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help. “The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for teens,” Kumbala said. Prompts include questions like “What are the simple things in your life that you shouldn’t take for granted (想当然)?” and “What is your greatest interest? How can you use it in your life every day in a small way?” There are also encouraging sayings, including “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. “I wanted to create something that was by a teen for teens,” Kumbala said. Her app won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge in Louisiana’s First District. The purpose of the competition is to help middle and high school students explore computer science. 22．What does the underlined phrase “a restless mind” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A．A mind that is tired and wants to sleep. B．A mind that is active and creative. C．A mind that feels calm and relaxed. D．A mind that is nervous and unable to stay calm. 23．What forms do the prompts in the guided diary have? A．Encouraging poems. B．Only mental health questions. C．Questions and encouraging sayings. D．Doctors’ advice and stories. 24．From the passage, we can infer that ________. A．the app Saplings can take the place of doctors’ help B．the guided diary in the app has no questions for teens C．some teenagers are too shy to ask for mental health help D．Vaishnavi Kumbala is from Louisiana’s First District 25．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．A teen-created app that helps teenagers with mental health. B．The importance of doctors in solving teen mental health problems. C．How teenagers can use apps to kill time when they are bored. D．A competition for middle and high school students in computer science. 【答案】22．D 23．C 24．C 25．A 【导语】本文介绍了美国青少年Vaishnavi Kumbala为帮助同龄人应对心理健康问题而开发的应用程序Saplings，以及其中“Boredom Buster”功能的设计理念与成效。 22．第二段提到：“It was made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind.”，结合上下文，该应用旨在帮助青少年应对精神健康问题，因此“a restless mind”指“焦虑不安、无法平静的心态”。 23．第五段提到“The prompts in the guided diary are made just for teens”，第六段列举了日记中引导性问题（如“生活中不应视为理所当然的小事是什么？”）以及励志名言（如“保持饥饿，保持愚蠢”），因此包括问题和励志名言两种形式。 24．第三段提到：“Some of them are too shy to reach out for help.”，说明有些青少年因害羞而不愿寻求心理健康帮助。 25．全文围绕Vaishnavi Kumbala为帮助同龄人应对心理健康问题而开发的应用Saplings展开，因此主要讲述了一款由青少年创建、帮助青少年解决心理健康问题的应用。 主题02 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·陕西师大附中·二模） In this rapidly changing world, cultural exchange is becoming more and more important. Some traditional ways of spreading culture are not popular with young people today. However, new works like Ne Zha 2 and Chinese Strange Tales 2 have been very successful around the world. They show us a clear truth: we need new ways to make traditional culture welcome among young people. New technologies, such as amazing pictures and lively video effects, play a great role in renewing traditional culture. Chinese Strange Tales 2 brings old traditional stories back to life in a modern way. It uses great visual (视觉的) effects and plenty of Chinese cultural stories. It not only attracts people but also helps them learn old stories in a creative and interesting way. However, innovation (创新) does not mean forgetting our own cultural roots. We can put traditional elements into modern works and work with artists from other countries as well. In this way, Chinese culture can resonate (共鸣) with more international listeners and become popular all over the world. The challenge lies in balancing entertainment (娱乐) with meaning. Good cultural works are not only fun to enjoy but also rich in spirit. When new technologies connect with traditional culture, it helps build cultural confidence. It also lets Chinese culture win hearts among the global younger generations with its special beauty and vitality (活力). 23．The passage is most probably taken from ________. A．a scientific study B．a folk story C．a cultural magazine D．a travel guide 24．What can we learn from the two examples in the passage? A．New works only use modern technologies and give up old stories.

It sits by the Neva River in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and offers a treasure trove (宝藏) of art and history. Founded by Empress Catherine the Great in 1764, it opened to the public in 1852. At first, it was her private home, but today, it is a place everyone can visit. The Hermitage Museum consists of several beautiful buildings, each with its charm. Five of these buildings are open to visitors, including the Winter Palace. Walking through the palace feels like stepping back in time, and you can lose yourself in the architecture (建筑设计) and art inside. Inside, there are about 2.7 million items, including paintings, sculptures and coins. From ancient treasures to modern art, the museum has something for everyone. You can find famous works by artists like Rembrandt and Picasso. It is said that it would take 27 years to see everything there! One of the coolest parts of the museum is the room for Peter the Great. Here, you can see things that once belonged to him, including his clothes and medals. There’s even a life-sized Imax statue (蜡像) of him! The Hermitage Museum is a great place where art and history come together.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge (花江峡谷大桥) in Guizhou province is now open to the public. The bridge stands about 625 meters above a river, making it both the world’s highest bridge and the largest span (最大跨度的) bridge built in a mountainous area. Guizhou is a mountainous area, and traveling between towns used to take a long time. Before the bridge was built, driving across the canyon took about two hours on roads. Now, the trip takes only two minutes. The bridge will help people travel more easily, connect cities, and lower costs for businesses. The bridge also offers fun activities for visitors. A high-speed glass lift can take people up 800 meters to a coffee shop in the clouds. The shop owner says that looking down at the mountains while drinking coffee “feels like drinking with nature”. Brave visitors can also try bungee jumping (蹦极) or walk along a glass walkway. Building of the bridge started in January 2022 and took more than three and a half years. The bridge weighs about 22, 000 tons. To make sure it was safe, engineers carried out a five-day test in August. A team drove 18, then 48, and finally 96 heavy trucks onto different parts of the bridge. Guizhou has about 40 million people. In recent years, the province has built many bridges to help people travel and reduce poverty (贫困) . Now it has over 32, 000 bridges, compared with only 2, 900 in the 1980s. It is also home to the world’s second-highest bridge, the Duge Bridge, which opened in 2016. 23．What advantages can the building of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge bring? ①People travel more easily.         ②Cities are connected. ③Guizhou culture can be spread more widely.     ④Businesses’ costs are lowered.

Motion sickness (运动晕眩症) is feeling sick or even makes you want to vomit (呕吐). It often happens when you’re traveling by car, boat, plane, train or other transportation. Almost everyone gets motion sickness if the movement is strong enough. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are most likely to get it. People get motion sickness because their senses send different messages to their brains. In a moving car, for example, your eyes tell your brain you’re moving, but your inner ear (which helps with balance) tells your brain you’re sitting still. This conflict (矛盾) can make you feel ill. If you’re reading a book or looking at a screen, stop it. Led by brain expert Li Yilun, the team chose 30 volunteers to take part in the study. The results showed that joyful music was better at reducing motion sickness problems than anything else. Soft music was a close second, followed by loud music. However, sad music actually slowed down people’s getting better. Even people, who didn’t listen to any music felt better sooner than those who listened to sad music. Some people believe that eating ginger will help them ward off vomiting. Although research hasn’t proved that it works, if it makes you feel better, keep using it. Motion sickness is unpleasant, but it will go away when you stop moving. 22．Which group is most likely to experience motion sickness according to the passage? A．Adults over 50. B．Babies under 1 year old. C．Children between 2 and 12. D．Teenagers aged between 15 and 18. 23．What can we infer about people who listen to sad music during travel? A．They may feel more relaxed and calmer. B．They may take longer to feel better after travel. C．They may never experience motion sickness. D．They may recover from sickness more quickly. 24．The underlined words “ward off” probably mean “________” in the last paragraph. A．avoid B．cause C．increase D．notice 25．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Avoid Traveling by Car B．The Best Food for Motion Sickness C．Why Children Get Motion Sickness Easily D．Music and Motion Sickness: A New Discovery 【答案】22．C 23．B 24．A 25．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了根据新的研究，听音乐可以减轻乘车时的晕车感，但效果取决于播放的音乐类型。文章还解释了晕车的原因，并通过实验说明了不同音乐类型对缓解晕车的效果，最后提到了一些关于缓解晕车的其他观点。 22．第二段提到“Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are most likely to get it.”，直接表明2至12岁的儿童最容易患晕车症。 23．第四段提到“However, sad music actually slowed down people’s getting better. Even people, who didn’t listen to any music felt better sooner than those who listened to sad music.”，说明听悲伤音乐的人在旅行后需要更长时间才能感觉好转。 24．最后一段提到“Some people believe that eating ginger will help them ward off vomiting. Although research hasn’t proved that it works, if it makes you feel better, keep using it.”，结合上下文，这里说的是吃姜可能有助于避免呕吐，因此“ward off”意为“避免”。 25．文章主要介绍了听音乐对晕车的影响，特别是不同类型音乐的效果，因此最佳标题是“Music and Motion Sickness: A New Discovery”。 主题03 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 1 （2026·西安高新第三初级中学·二模） Humans have been trying to predict the weather since long before any tools came into use. Written records show that people began to predict the weather thousands of years ago, using all kinds of natural elements (元素). Even today, some mountain climbers, hikers, and sailors still depend partly on these elements to know about weather changes. How do they make predictions? Watching the sky has always been a popular way to predict the weather. Clouds change noticeably when a storm is coming, so they are generally an accurate sign of what will happen. For example, dark clouds are always a sign of bad weather, while low white cottony clouds promise bright weather. If you see a red sky in the morning, then it means that there is clear weather in the east where the sun is rising, but bad weather in the west. A circle of light around the moon may indicate rain. Another popular way is to watch animals. Animals can sense changes in the weather that humans cannot. For example, if ants move their nests or birds fly close to the ground, it might mean rain is coming. Other animal behaviors have not been studied closely, but they are still part of weather knowledge. One example is squirrels (松鼠) collecting an unusually large amount of food as a sign of an upcoming cold winter. Besides, listening to the human body can also help predict the weather. Before a storm, people who have old injuries or have problems with their joints often feel more pain. Although these ways are not always perfectly accurate, they show the wisdom humans have gained in learning to live with nature for thousands of years. *Predict: say that something will happen in the future. 23．Why does the writer ask a question in the first paragraph? A．To express surprise. B．To lead into the topic. C．To set the writing style. D．To test readers’ knowledge. 24．The underlined word “accurate” probably means “________”. A．correct B．special C．strange D．possible 25．We can learn from the text that ________. A．dark clouds are a sign of bright weather. B．a red sky in the morning means bad weather in the west. C．animals’ behaviors are always right in weather prediction. D．people with joint problems feel less pain before a storm. 【答案】23．B 24．A 25．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了人类自古以来预测天气的几种方法，包括观察天空、观察动物以及关注人体反应，体现了人类与自然共处的智慧。 23．文章第一段先介绍人类很早就开始预测天气，即使现在仍有部分人依靠自然元素预测天气，随后提出“How do they make predictions?”这一问题，目的是引出下文对预测天气方法的介绍。选项A“表达惊讶”、C“确定写作风格”、D“测试读者知识”均不符合语境， 24．根据前文“Clouds change noticeably when a storm is coming”以及后文举例“dark clouds are always a sign of bad weather, while low white cottony clouds promise bright weather”可知，云的变化能清晰反映天气情况，由此可推测“accurate”意为“正确的、准确的”。对应选项A。 25．根据第二段“If you see a red sky in the morning, then it means that there is clear weather in the east where the sun is rising, but bad weather in the west.”可知，早上看到红色天空意味着西方有坏天气。对应选项B。 Passage 2 （2026·西安铁一中·二模） Snow forests make up about 30% of the world’s total forest areas. These wonderful woodlands are not as famous as the Amazon or other rain forests, but they are important. To mark the International Day of Forests, we report on why they are so important for Earth’s health and why they are at risk. Also known as northern or taiga (针叶林) forests, snow forests are found in the far north of the world, in areas that are quite cold and usually have a lot of snowfall. They lie across parts of Canada, China, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the US. Snow forests spread for thousands of miles and cover about 17% of the Earth’s total land area. Snow forests have very cold winters that can last up to six months, but even so, they are home to all kinds of animals. Animals that live in the snow forests include foxes, hares, mice, and wolves. In the US and Canada, as many as five billion birds from more than 300 species (物种) live in the forests in the breeding (繁殖) season. Snow forests are facing several threats. Trees are being cut down faster and faster for their wood, which can be used for construction (建设). Some forests are being cleared to make space for new roads and houses, or to allow coal mining and oil and gas industries to grow. All these threaten (威胁) the homes of wildlife. As the world gets warmer, the risk of fires in snow forests threatens huge areas. In recent years, Canada and Russia have seen very bad fires spread through the forests. In more southern snow forest areas, 1% of the land is being cleared of trees each year—that’s the same rate at which rain forests are being destroyed. Environmental and wildlife groups around the world are working hard to make snow forests protected areas. This means that cutting down trees is stopped or controlled in some areas. When wood is needed, replanting plans and careful forest management help to reduce the bad influence. Hopefully this means that the forest is managed in a way that it can live and regrow. 27．Which question can help us know about Paragraph 2? A．Are forests in danger? B．What is a snow forest? C．Where do many animals live? D．How can we protect forests? 28．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．There are many birds in America. B．500 kinds of birds live in Canada. C．Snow forests are home to animals. D．The weather in snow forests is cold. 29．How should we protect snow forests in the future? ①No trees will be allowed to be cut down. ②We should cut down as few trees as possible. ③Snow forests should be made into protected areas. ④We should plant trees to reduce the bad influence. A．①③④ B．①②④ C．①②③ D．②③④ 30．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To tell the importance of snow forests. B．To tell the bright future of snow forests. C．To show ways of protecting wild animals. D．To show lifestyle of different animals. 【答案】27．B 28．C 29．D 30．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了针叶林的定义、地理分布、生态价值及其面临的威胁与保护措施，呼吁人们关注这一重要的生态系统。 27．第二段指出：“Also known as northern or taiga (针叶林) forests, snow forests are found in the far north of the world…”，该段详细说明了雪林的别称、地理位置及覆盖面积，回答了“什么是雪林”的问题。 28．第三段首句提到：“…they are home to all kinds of animals.”。随后文中列举了狐狸、野兔、狼以及数以亿计的鸟类在此繁衍生息，证明了雪林是动物的家园。 29．最后一段提到：“…working hard to make snow forests protected areas.”，这直接证明了建立雪林保护区是未来保护工作的重点之一。同段第三、四句指出：“…cutting down trees is stopped or controlled.…When wood is needed, replanting plans…help to reduce the bad influence.”。其中“controlled”以及“when wood is needed”说明树木砍伐并未被彻底禁止，而是被严格控制在必要的范围内，这符合尽可能少砍伐的逻辑，同时也说明①项中“No trees will be allowed（不准砍伐任何树木）”的表述过于绝对。此外，“replanting plans”则明确对应了植树造林以减少不良影响的建议。 30．文章首段指出报告的目的：“…we report on why they are so important for Earth’s health and why they are at risk.”。全文围绕雪林的生态重要性及其面临的生存危机展开，旨在呼吁保护雪林。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解C篇 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 (2026·陕西省铜川市·二模) China’s express delivery (快递) service is very big and fast. Every day, more than 500 million packages are sent all around the country. That means nearly 6,000 packages are sent each second. How does it work so quickly? Technology is the key. In the past, workers did almost everything by hand. Now, machines and computers help with most of the work. This makes sending packages faster and cheaper than before. First, people used to write addresses on the paper. Now, they use electronic orders. For example, when someone wants to send a package by using the phone, the computer system quickly plans the whole trip: which courier (快递员) will pick it up, which car will carry it, and what time it will arrive. This saves a lot of time. Also, machines now help sort (分类) packages. In sorting centers, packages move fast on the belts—about 240 every minute! Machines scan each one and send it to the right place. Not many people are needed here. In the past, many workers had to stand and sort everything by hand. It was much slower. What’s more, some companies now use more advanced tools like robots and self-driving cars. These machines can deliver packages by themselves in many cities. They help save time and money. All these changes show how technology makes China’s express delivery fast and smart. It helps people get their things more quickly and easily. 43．What advantage do electronic orders have? A．They make packages more beautiful. B．They help save a lot of time. C．They need more people to work. D．They cost much more money. 44．Which sentence uses “advanced” with the same meaning as the underlined word? advanced /əd’vɑːnst/   ①高等的   ②先进的   ③ (发展) 晚期的 A．This book is for advanced learners of Chinese.

Passage 2 （2026·陕西渭南高新区·二模） In the mountainous areas of Hainan Province, getting medical help used to be a big challenge. For example, Cheng Chuanhe, a villager from Qiongzhong County, needed a blood test, but the local clinic (诊所) didn’t have the needed tools. In the past, he would have had to make a long and tiring trip. Now, drones (无人机) are changing this situation. In 2022, Qiongzhong built a county-wide medical system to help local people. However, 80% of the land is covered by mountains, which makes travel arduous. That’s when drone technology came to help. In June 2025, Hainan’s first low-altitude medical drone network started to work. Two drones fly along four different paths, connecting 15 town health centers. So how does it work? First, a doctor at a local health center takes a patient’s blood sample (样本). Then, a drone is prepared at a nearby drone base. A worker completes the pre-flight checks. With a simple touch on a screen, the drone takes off and follows a preset path. When it arrives at the health center, a doctor puts the blood sample inside. In just over 40 minutes, the sample reaches the county hospital. About two hours later, the test result is sent back to the local clinic through the government’s online platform. These special drones can fly up to 30 kilometers, carry up to 9 kilograms of medical goods, and are very easy to control. Thanks to this “air path”, lab samples, emergency medicines, and other medical supplies now reach mountain villages quickly and safely. 22．Why does the writer mention Cheng Chuanhe at the beginning of the passage? A．To show he is a famous doctor. B．To describe a real-life example of the problem. C．To explain how to drive a drone. D．To tell readers that mountain life is interesting. 23．The underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.

So far, it has shared plenty of information on the website Digital Dunhuang. Even so, humans have never stopped learning about culture with technology. Recently, Huawei has started a new way to show the Mogao Caves. By using virtual reality (虚拟现实) technology, it can offer visitors a 360-degree virtual tour of the Mogao Caves. By putting on a virtual reality headset (耳机), visitors can have a tour exactly as they are in reality and get more information. Moreover, the visitors can view paintings without standing near them or touching them, which helps protect the Mogao Caves. So we can keep a better balance between protection and tourism. The tour brings a really new experience. When people visit the place, they not only get to the real cave but also can better enjoy the beautiful painting art through the high-tech experience. Schools are also using this technology to help students comprehend history safely and interactively (交互式地). In the future, Huawei will continue to develop a more colourful virtual experience for more and more visitors. 43．Why can virtual reality technology help protect the Mogao Caves? A．It makes visitors visit the caves only on the website. B．It stops all the visitors from going to the caves in reality. C．It moves all the paintings to a digital museum for visitors to enjoy. D．It lets visitors see the paintings without getting close or touching them. 44．The underlined word “comprehend” means “________” in the passage.

Passage 4 （2026·西安铁一中陆港初级中学·适应性训练（二）） People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. A new study adds chickens to the list. It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 33．What does the new study tell us? A．Scientists know nothing about animals’ feelings. B．Chickens never feel happy or sad. C．Humans can know chickens’ feelings from their calls. D．All animals can understand humans’ words. 34．Which picture is most probably the sound wave of a happy call by a chicken? A． B． C． D． 35．Which of the following is TRUE? A．Chickens always make loud sounds when they are sad. B．Only people with experience can tell chickens’ emotions. C．Humans are born with the ability to understand chickens’ feelings. D．Scientists have already developed a program to help farmers. 主题02 人与社会——历史、社会与文化 Passage 1 （2026·陕西宝鸡南寨初中·模拟） The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala presented a wonderful dance program called He Hua Shen. It was not just a dance; it was a beautiful story about traditional Chinese culture. The dance was inspired by a beautiful jade pendant (玉佩) from the Qing Dynasty in the Palace Museum. This pendant had special flowers carved (雕刻) on it for each month of the year. Following this idea, the dance told stories of the “Twelve Flower Goddesses”. Each goddess stood for a different flower. These flowers are not just pretty; they carry deep cultural meanings in China, such as purity (纯洁), strength, and good luck. The show was a perfect mix of the old and the new. The dancers wore beautiful clothes with ancient patterns. Their designs came from real clothes found in museums, so they looked very historical. The stage, however, used modern technology like AI to create magical backgrounds. For example, when the peach blossom (桃花) goddess appeared, the stage looked like a garden full of peach trees. This clever use of technology made the ancient story feel fresh and exciting. He Hua Shen was more than just entertainment. It helped people learn about Chinese history, poems, and art in a fun way. By connecting traditional culture with modern stage skills, the program made young people feel proud of their cultural heritage (遗产).

A bronze vessel (器皿) named He Zun was unearthed, which has since become a national treasure. He Zun was made during the early Western Zhou Dynasty, about 3,000 years ago. It stands at 38.5 centimeters tall with a square body and a round mouth, featuring four large, hollow (空心的) decorative ridges (脊). The patterns on it, like the banana leaf patterns at the mouth, the silkworm patterns on the neck, and the taotie patterns (饕餮纹) on the body, show the high-level craftsmanship (手艺) of that time. What makes He Zun especially significant is the 122-character inscription (铭文) on its inner bottom. This inscription records important historical events. It mentions that King Cheng of Zhou continued King Wu’s ambition and built the Eastern Capital, Luoyi, as the center of the world, stating “宅兹中国 (zhái zī zhōng guó)”, which means “live in the middle kingdom”. This is the earliest written record of the term “中国 (zhōng guó)”, or “China”. It offers important evidence for studying the history of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the origin of the concept of “China”. Now, He Zun is carefully preserved in the Baoji Bronze Museum, attracting numbers of visitors every year who come to admire this ancient relic and feel the long-standing history and culture of China. 32．When did people find He Zun? A．In 1975. B．In the early Western Zhou Dynasty. C．In 1963. D．3,000 years ago. 33．What does the underlined word “unearthed” mean in Chinese? A．出售 B．出土 C．制造 D．收藏 34．What does the word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．He Zun. B．The inner bottom. C．The 122-character inscription.

D．The Inscription on He Zun. 主题02 人与自然——自然生态 (2026·陕西省榆林市定边县·二模) Seeing someone who appears to be walking on a cloud might sound like a dream. But you can find this sight in the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. What’s special about the salar (盐湖) is that this thin pool goes on for miles, creating a seemingly endless natural “mirror”. About 40,000 years ago, the area was a large basin — a low place with mountains around. As it rained, the mountains stopped the rainwater from running away and the rainwater stayed and collected there, forming a huge lake. The lake had plenty of salt inside. Over thousands of years, as the climate became drier, the huge lake slowly dried up. After it dried, a layer (层) of salt was left on the surface. Now, the area is still a salt flat. When the salt was covered with a thin layer of water, the endless natural “mirror” was created. With about 10 billion tons of salt lying around, it’s no surprise that the salt here is a big business. But the real treasure lies under the ground. Lithium (锂), also called “the white gold”, is found under the salt. It is used to make smartphones. Besides salt and lithium, tourism also brings a lot of money. Every year, thousands of visitors come to see the amazing natural mirror. However, the growing number of visitors is causing problems. Some visitors leave rubbish behind. Others walk on the salt in the wrong way and compromise the thin water layer that creates the “mirror”. If these problems are not solved, the salar may lose its magic one day. 22．Which order shows how the Salar de Uyuni formed? a. The huge lake dried up slowly. b. A layer of salt appeared on the surface. c. Rainwater collected and formed a huge lake. d. There was a large basin with mountains around. A．d → c → a → b B．c → d → b → a C．c → a → b → d D．d → a → b → c 23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph? A．Lithium is found on top of the salt. B．Salt is not very important to the local business. C．Tourism brings little money to the area. D．People use lithium to make smartphones. 24．The underlined word “compromise” in the last paragraph probably means “________” A．keep… safe B．put… into danger C．make… clean D．bring… back to life 25．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Magic Natural “Mirror” in Bolivia B．Environmental Protection in Bolivia C．Lithium: The White Gold D．Travel Tips for Salar de Uyuni 主题01 人与自我——生活与学习 （2026·榆林高新二中·二模） Teenagers often go online when they are bored, but they find it can sometimes bring more anxiety (焦虑). That’s when the “Boredom Buster” comes to help. It offers advice on keeping busy depending on how you feel. The Boredom Buster is a part of an app called Saplings. It was made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind. Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US, the app was born out of her worry for people of her age with mental (精神的) health problems. “A lot of mental health resources out there are for adults or younger kids,” Kumbala told The Washington Post. She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help. While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help. “The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for teens,” Kumbala said. Prompts include questions like “What are the simple things in your life that you shouldn’t take for granted (想当然)?” and “What is your greatest interest? How can you use it in your life every day in a small way?” There are also encouraging sayings, including “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. “I wanted to create something that was by a teen for teens,” Kumbala said. Her app won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge in Louisiana’s First District. The purpose of the competition is to help middle and high school students explore computer science. 22．What does the underlined phrase “a restless mind” probably mean in Paragraph 2?

Some traditional ways of spreading culture are not popular with young people today. However, new works like Ne Zha 2 and Chinese Strange Tales 2 have been very successful around the world. They show us a clear truth: we need new ways to make traditional culture welcome among young people. New technologies, such as amazing pictures and lively video effects, play a great role in renewing traditional culture. Chinese Strange Tales 2 brings old traditional stories back to life in a modern way. It uses great visual (视觉的) effects and plenty of Chinese cultural stories. It not only attracts people but also helps them learn old stories in a creative and interesting way. However, innovation (创新) does not mean forgetting our own cultural roots. We can put traditional elements into modern works and work with artists from other countries as well. In this way, Chinese culture can resonate (共鸣) with more international listeners and become popular all over the world. The challenge lies in balancing entertainment (娱乐) with meaning. Good cultural works are not only fun to enjoy but also rich in spirit. When new technologies connect with traditional culture, it helps build cultural confidence. It also lets Chinese culture win hearts among the global younger generations with its special beauty and vitality (活力). 23．The passage is most probably taken from ________. A．a scientific study B．a folk story C．a cultural magazine D．a travel guide 24．What can we learn from the two examples in the passage? A．New works only use modern technologies and give up old stories.

The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge (花江峡谷大桥) in Guizhou province is now open to the public. The bridge stands about 625 meters above a river, making it both the world’s highest bridge and the largest span (最大跨度的) bridge built in a mountainous area. Guizhou is a mountainous area, and traveling between towns used to take a long time. Before the bridge was built, driving across the canyon took about two hours on roads. Now, the trip takes only two minutes. The bridge will help people travel more easily, connect cities, and lower costs for businesses. The bridge also offers fun activities for visitors. A high-speed glass lift can take people up 800 meters to a coffee shop in the clouds. The shop owner says that looking down at the mountains while drinking coffee “feels like drinking with nature”. Brave visitors can also try bungee jumping (蹦极) or walk along a glass walkway. Building of the bridge started in January 2022 and took more than three and a half years. The bridge weighs about 22, 000 tons. To make sure it was safe, engineers carried out a five-day test in August. A team drove 18, then 48, and finally 96 heavy trucks onto different parts of the bridge. Guizhou has about 40 million people. In recent years, the province has built many bridges to help people travel and reduce poverty (贫困) . Now it has over 32, 000 bridges, compared with only 2, 900 in the 1980s. It is also home to the world’s second-highest bridge, the Duge Bridge, which opened in 2016. 23．What advantages can the building of the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge bring? ①People travel more easily.         ②Cities are connected. ③Guizhou culture can be spread more widely.     ④Businesses’ costs are lowered.

Passage 2 (2026·陕西省咸阳市·模拟) Listening to music can make you feel less sick when in a moving car, according to new research, but it depends on the type of music you play. Motion sickness (运动晕眩症) is feeling sick or even makes you want to vomit (呕吐). It often happens when you’re traveling by car, boat, plane, train or other transportation. Almost everyone gets motion sickness if the movement is strong enough. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 are most likely to get it. People get motion sickness because their senses send different messages to their brains. In a moving car, for example, your eyes tell your brain you’re moving, but your inner ear (which helps with balance) tells your brain you’re sitting still. This conflict (矛盾) can make you feel ill. If you’re reading a book or looking at a screen, stop it. Led by brain expert Li Yilun, the team chose 30 volunteers to take part in the study. The results showed that joyful music was better at reducing motion sickness problems than anything else. Soft music was a close second, followed by loud music. However, sad music actually slowed down people’s getting better. Even people, who didn’t listen to any music felt better sooner than those who listened to sad music. Some people believe that eating ginger will help them ward off vomiting. Although research hasn’t proved that it works, if it makes you feel better, keep using it. Motion sickness is unpleasant, but it will go away when you stop moving. 22．Which group is most likely to experience motion sickness according to the passage? A．Adults over 50. B．Babies under 1 year old. C．Children between 2 and 12. D．Teenagers aged between 15 and 18. 23．What can we infer about people who listen to sad music during travel? A．They may feel more relaxed and calmer. B．They may take longer to feel better after travel. C．They may never experience motion sickness. D．They may recover from sickness more quickly. 24．The underlined words “ward off” probably mean “________” in the last paragraph. A．avoid B．cause C．increase D．notice 25．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Avoid Traveling by Car B．The Best Food for Motion Sickness C．Why Children Get Motion Sickness Easily D．Music and Motion Sickness: A New Discovery 主题03 人与自然——自然生态 Passage 1 （2026·西安高新第三初级中学·二模） Humans have been trying to predict the weather since long before any tools came into use. Written records show that people began to predict the weather thousands of years ago, using all kinds of natural elements (元素). Even today, some mountain climbers, hikers, and sailors still depend partly on these elements to know about weather changes. How do they make predictions? Watching the sky has always been a popular way to predict the weather. Clouds change noticeably when a storm is coming, so they are generally an accurate sign of what will happen. For example, dark clouds are always a sign of bad weather, while low white cottony clouds promise bright weather. If you see a red sky in the morning, then it means that there is clear weather in the east where the sun is rising, but bad weather in the west. A circle of light around the moon may indicate rain. Another popular way is to watch animals. Animals can sense changes in the weather that humans cannot. For example, if ants move their nests or birds fly close to the ground, it might mean rain is coming. Other animal behaviors have not been studied closely, but they are still part of weather knowledge. One example is squirrels (松鼠) collecting an unusually large amount of food as a sign of an upcoming cold winter. Besides, listening to the human body can also help predict the weather. Before a storm, people who have old injuries or have problems with their joints often feel more pain. Although these ways are not always perfectly accurate, they show the wisdom humans have gained in learning to live with nature for thousands of years. *Predict: say that something will happen in the future. 23．Why does the writer ask a question in the first paragraph? A．To express surprise. B．To lead into the topic. C．To set the writing style. D．To test readers’ knowledge. 24．The underlined word “accurate” probably means “________”. A．correct B．special C．strange D．possible 25．We can learn from the text that ________. A．dark clouds are a sign of bright weather. B．a red sky in the morning means bad weather in the west. C．animals’ behaviors are always right in weather prediction. D．people with joint problems feel less pain before a storm. Passage 2 （2026·西安铁一中·二模） Snow forests make up about 30% of the world’s total forest areas. These wonderful woodlands are not as famous as the Amazon or other rain forests, but they are important. To mark the International Day of Forests, we report on why they are so important for Earth’s health and why they are at risk. Also known as northern or taiga (针叶林) forests, snow forests are found in the far north of the world, in areas that are quite cold and usually have a lot of snowfall. They lie across parts of Canada, China, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the US. Snow forests spread for thousands of miles and cover about 17% of the Earth’s total land area. Snow forests have very cold winters that can last up to six months, but even so, they are home to all kinds of animals. Animals that live in the snow forests include foxes, hares, mice, and wolves. In the US and Canada, as many as five billion birds from more than 300 species (物种) live in the forests in the breeding (繁殖) season. Snow forests are facing several threats. Trees are being cut down faster and faster for their wood, which can be used for construction (建设). Some forests are being cleared to make space for new roads and houses, or to allow coal mining and oil and gas industries to grow. All these threaten (威胁) the homes of wildlife. As the world gets warmer, the risk of fires in snow forests threatens huge areas. In recent years, Canada and Russia have seen very bad fires spread through the forests. In more southern snow forest areas, 1% of the land is being cleared of trees each year—that’s the same rate at which rain forests are being destroyed. Environmental and wildlife groups around the world are working hard to make snow forests protected areas. This means that cutting down trees is stopped or controlled in some areas. When wood is needed, replanting plans and careful forest management help to reduce the bad influence. Hopefully this means that the forest is managed in a way that it can live and regrow. 27．Which question can help us know about Paragraph 2? A．Are forests in danger? B．What is a snow forest? C．Where do many animals live? D．How can we protect forests? 28．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．There are many birds in America. B．500 kinds of birds live in Canada. C．Snow forests are home to animals. D．The weather in snow forests is cold. 29．How should we protect snow forests in the future? ①No trees will be allowed to be cut down. ②We should cut down as few trees as possible. ③Snow forests should be made into protected areas. ④We should plant trees to reduce the bad influence. A．①③④ B．①②④ C．①②③ D．②③④ 30．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To tell the importance of snow forests. B．To tell the bright future of snow forests. C．To show ways of protecting wild animals. D．To show lifestyle of different animals. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
