Passage 5 （2026·安徽安庆·二模） Dear Patrick, I often feel stressed about how I look and have always been afraid of taking photos of myself. I want to take more photos so I can look back on this time in my life when I’m older. What should I do? Sarah Hi Sarah, I know how you feel. I have felt worried about how I look, too. A few years ago, after I started working in an office, I put on some weight. I began to dislike looking in the mirror. I did not like taking photos of myself. I even felt a sense of shame when going out or swimming in public. But later, I learned some ways to deal with these feelings. First, try to care more about how you feel than how you look. Do small things that make you happy. You can exercise, eat healthy food or wear clothes you like. These small steps can help you feel better about yourself, little by little. Next, think of photos as memories, not judgments. A photo keeps a moment from your life. It shows who you were with, where you went and how you felt. When you look at these photos in the future, the memories will be more important than your looks. You do not need to share every photo. Keep some just for yourself. Each photo shows your courage. Confidence grows slowly, and every step matters. Patrick 1．What problem does Sarah have? A．She has put on some weight. B．She is not good at taking photos. C．She worries about her appearance. D．She is afraid of growing older. 2．How did Patrick like swimming in public a few years ago? A．Ashamed. B．Healthy. C．Important. D．Dangerous. 3．What advice does Patrick give Sarah? A．Do not often look in the mirror. B．Wear proper clothes to look better. C．Share every photo with courage.

People call them the “Oriental Pyramids” for their great size and shape. The Xixia Empire was an important civilization on the ancient Silk Road with its own writing and rich culture. Later it was defeated by the Mongols. Most records outside the tombs were lost, so these tombs are highly precious (珍贵的). Different from other Chinese tombs, they look like pagodas (佛塔), mixing Xixia, Han and Buddhist styles. Being on the World Heritage List will help protect them and spread their amazing history widely. 1．Where are the Xixia Imperial Tombs? A．To the east of Yinchuan. B．To the west of Yinchuan. C．Near the ancient Silk Road. D．In the capital of China. 2．Why are the Xixia Imperial Tombs very precious? A．Because they look like real pyramids. B．Because most other Xixia records were missing. C．Because they were built by the Mongols. D．Because they have a long history of 1,000 years. 3．Where can we most probably read the text? A．A travel blog. B．A science report. C．A storybook. D．A geography magazine. Passage 4 （2026·安徽合肥·二模） When I use AI apps like Doubao or DeepSeek, they quickly give me the answers I need. Their language is usually clear and organized. Because of this, I sometimes feel that AI is like a calm man. Also, in the field of AI, many engineers and computer scientists are men. When I think about them working behind the screen, I sometimes feel that AI might be male (男性). Gong Ruliang, 15, China At first, I thought AI was female because it seems kind and patient. But later I began to think again. Are these ideas just stereotypes (刻板印象)? Being gentle or patient does not only belong to women. Then I realized that AI may not have a gender (性别) at all. Maybe we can see it simply as something helpful, not as “he” or “she”. Mia, 15, Thailand When AI gives clear instructions, people say it sounds like a strict dad. When it is patient and caring, they say it feels like a kind mom. But maybe AI is more like a mirror. It shows the way we speak to it. If you are serious, it becomes serious. If you joke, it may sound playful. So is AI male or female (女性)? Maybe the better question is why we need it to be one at all. Madjuni Percuku, 15, UK 1．Why does Gong Ruliang sometimes feel that AI might be male? A．Many AI engineers are men. B．AI often tells funny stories. C．AI likes talking with students. D．Many users are young men. 2．What do Mia and Madjuni both think about AI? A．AI will soon think like humans. B．AI should sound like a parent. C．AI is mainly designed by women. D．AI may not truly have a gender. 3．Where is this passage most likely from? A．A teen opinion page. B．A science textbook. C．A travel magazine. D．A computer guidebook. Passage 5 （2026·安徽六安·二模）It’s now the Year of the Horse. Horses have been our good friends for a long time. In the past, they helped people in battles (战役). Today, they stand for courage and loyalty (忠诚). Let’s look at some famous horses from history. Wuzhui Wuzhui was the horse of Xiang Yu from the late Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC). The horse was nearly all black, but its feet were as white as snow. Wuzhui was very strong. It spent five years with Xiang, and the two risked their lives to win many battles. In the stories, after Xiang killed himself near the Wujiang River, the horse followed him by jumping into the river. Dilu Dilu is well-known for its speed. It is the horse of Liu Bei, founder of the Shu Kingdom, in the time of the Three Kingdoms (220—280). Some believed the horse could be dangerous because it didn’t listen to its owner. However, in the stories, the horse helped Liu cross a river that was about 10 meters wide. This helped Liu get away from the people who were after him. Chitu Chitu was the horse of Lyu Bu from the Three Kingdoms period. Its name means a red horse that’s like a hare. Before Lyu got this horse, he was already a great warrior (战士). With Chitu, he became even more powerful. There is an old saying that goes, “Lyu Bu was among the best warriors and Chitu-his horse-was the best of battle horses”. 1．Which of the following is a picture of Wuzhui? A． B． C． D． 2．What do the three horses have in common? A．They died for their owners. B．They helped their owners a lot. C．They were famous for their speed.

But it influences men and women differently. March 22 is World Water Day. This year, the focus is “Water and Gender (性别)”. Research shows that women and girls spend more time getting water than men and boys. This means they lose time, miss school and can’t find work. In about 50 countries, women and girls spend a total of 250 million hours every day collecting water. That is more than three times what men and boys spend. Only about 20 percent of people working in water-related (与水相关的) jobs are women, and they usually have no chance to make important decisions about solving water problems.

I want to take more photos so I can look back on this time in my life when I’m older. What should I do? Sarah Hi Sarah, I know how you feel. I have felt worried about how I look, too. A few years ago, after I started working in an office, I put on some weight. I began to dislike looking in the mirror. I did not like taking photos of myself. I even felt a sense of shame when going out or swimming in public. But later, I learned some ways to deal with these feelings. First, try to care more about how you feel than how you look. Do small things that make you happy. You can exercise, eat healthy food or wear clothes you like. These small steps can help you feel better about yourself, little by little. Next, think of photos as memories, not judgments. A photo keeps a moment from your life. It shows who you were with, where you went and how you felt. When you look at these photos in the future, the memories will be more important than your looks. You do not need to share every photo. Keep some just for yourself. Each photo shows your courage. Confidence grows slowly, and every step matters. Patrick 1．What problem does Sarah have? A．She has put on some weight. B．She is not good at taking photos. C．She worries about her appearance. D．She is afraid of growing older. 2．How did Patrick like swimming in public a few years ago? A．Ashamed. B．Healthy. C．Important. D．Dangerous. 3．What advice does Patrick give Sarah?

The Xixia Imperial Tombs (西夏陵) in China have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List (世界遗产名录). It shows their great cultural and historical value to the world. Located about 30 km to the west of Yinchuan, Ningxia, the tombs include 9 imperial mausoleums (帝王陵) and over 270 smaller ones. Though time has damaged some buildings, the special mounds still stand. People call them the “Oriental Pyramids” for their great size and shape. The Xixia Empire was an important civilization on the ancient Silk Road with its own writing and rich culture. Later it was defeated by the Mongols. Most records outside the tombs were lost, so these tombs are highly precious (珍贵的).

Their language is usually clear and organized. Because of this, I sometimes feel that AI is like a calm man. Also, in the field of AI, many engineers and computer scientists are men. When I think about them working behind the screen, I sometimes feel that AI might be male (男性). Gong Ruliang, 15, China At first, I thought AI was female because it seems kind and patient. But later I began to think again. Are these ideas just stereotypes (刻板印象)? Being gentle or patient does not only belong to women. Then I realized that AI may not have a gender (性别) at all. Maybe we can see it simply as something helpful, not as “he” or “she”. Mia, 15, Thailand When AI gives clear instructions, people say it sounds like a strict dad. When it is patient and caring, they say it feels like a kind mom. But maybe AI is more like a mirror. It shows the way we speak to it. If you are serious, it becomes serious. If you joke, it may sound playful. So is AI male or female (女性)? Maybe the better question is why we need it to be one at all. Madjuni Percuku, 15, UK 1．Why does Gong Ruliang sometimes feel that AI might be male? A．Many AI engineers are men. B．AI often tells funny stories. C．AI likes talking with students. D．Many users are young men. 2．What do Mia and Madjuni both think about AI? A．AI will soon think like humans. B．AI should sound like a parent. C．AI is mainly designed by women. D．AI may not truly have a gender. 3．Where is this passage most likely from? A．A teen opinion page. B．A science textbook. C．A travel magazine. D．A computer guidebook. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 【知识点】科学技术、议论文 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要呈现了三位来自不同国家的青少年对于“人工智能是否有性别”这一话题的不同观点和看法。 1．表格第一行第二段指出原因：“Also, in the field of AI, many engineers and computer scientists are men.”，这表明Gong Ruliang认为AI可能是男性，是因为该领域的从业者多为男性。 2．表格第二行第二段Mia提到：“Then I realized that AI may not have a gender at all.”；表格第三行第二段Madjuni提到：“So is AI male or female? Maybe the better question is why we need it to be one at all.”这表明两人都认为AI可能并不真正拥有性别。 3．文章开头分别引用了三位15岁的青少年对于AI性别的看法，且文章整体风格为观点陈述，符合青少年观点专栏的特点。 Passage 5 （2026·安徽六安·二模）It’s now the Year of the Horse. Horses have been our good friends for a long time. In the past, they helped people in battles (战役). Today, they stand for courage and loyalty (忠诚). Let’s look at some famous horses from history. Wuzhui Wuzhui was the horse of Xiang Yu from the late Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC). The horse was nearly all black, but its feet were as white as snow. Wuzhui was very strong. It spent five years with Xiang, and the two risked their lives to win many battles. In the stories, after Xiang killed himself near the Wujiang River, the horse followed him by jumping into the river. Dilu Dilu is well-known for its speed. It is the horse of Liu Bei, founder of the Shu Kingdom, in the time of the Three Kingdoms (220—280). Some believed the horse could be dangerous because it didn’t listen to its owner. However, in the stories, the horse helped Liu cross a river that was about 10 meters wide. This helped Liu get away from the people who were after him. Chitu Chitu was the horse of Lyu Bu from the Three Kingdoms period. Its name means a red horse that’s like a hare. Before Lyu got this horse, he was already a great warrior (战士). With Chitu, he became even more powerful. There is an old saying that goes, “Lyu Bu was among the best warriors and Chitu-his horse-was the best of battle horses”. 1．Which of the following is a picture of Wuzhui? A． B． C． D． 2．What do the three horses have in common? A．They died for their owners. B．They helped their owners a lot. C．They were famous for their speed. D．They were from the Three Kingdoms period. 3．In which part of a newspaper may we read the text? A．Nature. B．Language. C．Science. D．Culture. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【知识点】人与动植物、中华文化、说明文 【导语】本文介绍了历史上三匹著名的马：乌骓、的卢和赤兔，分别讲述了它们与主人的故事及象征意义。 1．介绍乌骓的部分提到“The horse was nearly all black, but its feet were as white as snow.”，因此乌骓的图片应为几乎全黑但四蹄雪白的马。 2．乌骓跟随项羽赢得多次战斗，的卢帮助刘备脱险，赤兔使吕布更加强大，因此三匹马的共同点是它们都对自己的主人有很大帮助。A项只有乌骓跳江跟随主人，其他两匹未提及为主人而死；C项只有的卢以速度闻名；D项只有的卢和赤兔来自三国时期，乌骓来自秦末。 3．本文介绍了中国历史上三匹著名的马及其文化故事，属于历史文化话题，因此最可能出现在报纸的“文化”板块。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·安徽芜湖·二模）Come and have fun at Suzhou Wildlife Park!
