专题11 阅读回答问题12篇（新题型预测） Passage 1 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Liu Ziqing, a 63-year-old Chinese man, fell in love with ballet (芭蕾舞) when he was a little boy. He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times. However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said. Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always on his side. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.” 1．Why did Liu never get the chance to practise ballet when he was a little boy? 2．When did Liu decide to become a ballet dancer? 3．What was the most difficult for Liu during the course of learning ballet? 4．How did Liu feel when taking ballet courses? 5．Do you think it’s ever too late to start a new hobby? Why or why not? 【答案】1．Because he grew up in a poor family in a village. 2．At age 3./When he was 53 (years old). 4．Staying in good shape. 5．He felt young again. 6．No, I don’t think so. Liu’s story shows that if you really love something and work hard, you can start at any age./Yes, sometimes it can be too late. Some dreams, like becoming a professional sports player, might be very hard to start when you are much older, because your body is not as strong as a young person’s, or you are too busy with work and family.（答案不唯一） 【导语】本文讲述了63岁的中国老人刘子青从小热爱芭蕾，但因家境贫寒未能学习，53岁时他决定自学芭蕾，克服了身体条件等困难，不仅改善了健康，也找回了年轻时的热情与快乐。 【详解】1．第二段提到“That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village.”，说明刘子青小时候没有机会练习芭蕾是因为他成长在贫困的家庭。 1．第二段提到“at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer.”，说明他在53岁时决定成为一名芭蕾舞者。 2．第三段提到“During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape was the most difficult.”，说明学习芭蕾过程中保持良好体形是最困难的。 3．第三段提到“When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again”，说明上芭蕾课时他感到自己又变年轻了。 4．本题为主观开放题，答案不唯一，结合刘子青53岁开始学芭蕾并从中获益的经历，表达自己对“开始新爱好是否太晚”的看法并说明理由即可。 Passage 2 Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He made a tool that can find pesticides (农药) on fruits and vegetables. This won him $25,000 (about180,000 yuan) and the title of “Best Young Scientist in America”. Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question. His mother always told him to wash fruit before eating it. The boy wondered if the action did any good. He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides. They can bring health problems like cancer. Washing only gets away part of the pesticides. “If we could find them, we could avoid eating them and lower the risk of those health problems,” Subash said. This led Subash to invent PestiSCAND, a small tool that people can carry around. It works by shining lights and seeing how light reflects (反射) off food. With the help of a sensor (传感器), a screen and an AI learning model, the tool can find out if there are pesticides around. To use it, users must point PestiSCAND at the fruit or vegetable to see if they need to wash it again. They can use an app on phones to check the results. During testing, PestiSCAND was right more than 85 percent of the time in finding pesticides. Subash plans to improve his tool and hopes to get it to market by the time he starts college. His love for science will never go away. “In 15 years, I hope to be designing and building devices (设备) that can help make the world a better place,” said Subash. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How old is Sirish Subash? 2．What does Subash’s idea come from? 3．Why are pesticides bad for our health? 4．How can people check the testing results? 5．What do you think makes Subash successful? 【答案】1．He is 14 years old./14 years old./2. 3．A simple yet important question. 4．(Because) they can bring health problems. 5．By using an app on phones./Through an app on phones. 6．His love for science./His hard work./… 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了美国14岁学生Sirish Subash发明检测农药工具的相关内容。   1．根据文章第1段“Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.”可知，Sirish Subash的年龄是14岁。 2．根据文章第3段中的“Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question.”可知，Subash对该工具的想法来自一个简单但重要的问题。 3．根据文章第4段中的“He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides.

The accident happened when he tried to make a hole in leather with a sharp tool, which slipped and hurt his left eye badly and lost its sight. Soon after, his right eye also lost its sight due to an infection of optic neuritis (视神经炎). Eventually, he became completely blind. At first, life was scary and challenging for him, but with his family’s love, he soon learned to feel his way around the house and memorize the positions of everything with his hands. His father, Simon-René, encouraged him not to give up on reading and made a special nail board with alphabet bumps for him to touch and recognize letters. Later, Louis was sent to the world’s first school for blind children in Paris. There, he was excited to read books with stamped letters (凸印文字) and quickly finished every book in the school library. When Captain Barbier visited the school and showed a dot-based writing system for soldiers and the blind, Louis found its 12 dots per symbol too complex and realized it lacked numbers and musical notes, so he decided to improve it. During the summer holidays, Louis worked diligently on a new system under a shady tree in his backyard. He simplified the design to 6 dots, arranged in two columns of three (两列三行), which fit perfectly under a fingertip and could represent letters, numbers and various symbols. At 15, he proudly presented his creation to his teachers and Captain Barbier, who were all amazed by his clever idea. Louis’ 6-dot system was an immediate hit among his classmates. They happily used it to write poems and dreamed of reading novels printed with these dots. Little did Louis know that his small invention would one day change the world for blind people everywhere.

It is a bond that transcends time, distance, and circumstance. True friendship is not about how often you meet or how much you give; it is about the depth of understanding, the strength of support, and the warmth of unconditional love. A true friend is someone who stands by you through thick and thin. They are the ones who celebrate your successes as if they were their own and who offer a shoulder to lean on during your darkest hours. True friends listen without judgment, speak with honesty, and act with kindness. They are the mirrors that reflect your true self and the anchors that keep you grounded. Friendship is also about shared experiences and memories. It is the laughter that echoes in your heart long after the moment has passed, and the stories that become legends over time. Whether it’s a spontaneous (自发的) adventure, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple act of kindness, these moments, weave the fabric of a lasting friendship. In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, true friendship provides a sanctuary of peace and stability. It is a reminder that we are not alone, that there are people who care deeply about us and who will walk beside us no matter what. So cherish your friends, for they are the treasures of your life. Nurture your friendships with time, attention, and love. And remember, the best kind of friendship is the one that makes you a better person, the one that inspires you to grow, to dream, and to be the best version of yourself. 1．What is friendship compared to in the passage? 2．What is true friendship about, according to the passage? 3．What will a true friend do when you succeed? 4．What role do true friends play in your life? 5．What should we do to keep our friendships lasting?

Passage 2 In April, a powerful windstorm blew through North China, turning skies orange and making trees dance like crazy. According to weather reports, winds hit over 130 km/h as strong as a tropical (热带的) storm in mountain areas of Beijing and Hebei, while flat areas experienced winds of 90—110 km/h. This kind of storm is very unusual for April, and it lasted for more than 48 hours, knocking down street signs and making airplanes to cancel (取消) flights. Besides strong winds, the storm carried thick sand and dust (尘土) from Mongolia and China’s northwest deserts. They make the sky dark, making it look like nighttime during the day. In cities like Beijing and Tianjin, the air pollution (污染) got to the worst level possible. People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to keep off polluted air. Schools closed, parks shut down, and delivery services received many orders as people stayed indoors. The storm caused many dangers, including: * Falling signs * Flying rubbish and branches * Overturned trucks on highways Scientists warned that the wind was strong enough to lift small cars. At the same time, heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse. How did people stay safe? Scientists gave the following advice: ☆Stay indoors ☆Close windows tightly ☆Move light items inside 1．What was the speed of wind in flat areas according to Paragraph 1? 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? 3．Why did people have to wear masks in Beijing and Tianjin? 4．What dangers did the storm cause according to the text? 5．What will you do to keep safe if there is a storm in your city?

It tells a story about our time, our culture, and even our technology. Fashion in China has changed greatly over the years, showing how people’s lives and ideas have  developed. In ancient times, clothing style in China was stable for centuries. People wore traditional clothes like hanfu. The  style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status. For example, bright yellow was often only for the emperor and his family. In the early 20th century, things began to change quickly. The cheongsam (qipao) became popular for women. It mixed traditional Chinese elements with a more modern, fitted silhouette (剪影) Meanwhile, Western-style suits and dresses started to appear in big cities like Shanghai, showing the beginning of global influence on Chinese fashion. After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were  crazy about new ideas from abroad. Blue jeans, T-shirts, and sunglasses became symbols of being modern and free. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition. In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. A style popular in Paris or Seoul can be seen on the streets of Beijing or Chengdu in just a few weeks. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a  trendsetter. Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and “vintage” style are becoming popular. This means people are paying more attention to protecting the environment and appreciating classic styles that last longer than just one season. Looking into the future, fashion will likely continue to mix technology with personal expression. Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health. One thing is for sure: fashion will keep reflecting  who we are and the world we live in. Task 1: 1．What could the clothes tell about a person in ancient China? 2．What happened to fashion after the 1980s in China? 3．What makes fashion trends change so quickly in the 21st century? 4．What are the two popular ideas in fashion today mentioned in the passage? Task 2: 5．The passage ends by saying: “Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health.” What other innovative features can you imagine for smart clothes? (Use your own words in at least 30 words.) 【答案】1．The clothes could tell a person’s social status. 2．Young people began to have more choices and used clothes to express their individuality, influenced by new ideas from abroad. 3．The Internet, fast fashion brands, and platforms make fashion trends change quickly. 4．Sustainable fashion and vintage style. 5．Perhaps future clothes could automatically adjust their thickness to keep us warm in winter and cool in summer. They might also be able to clean themselves using sunlight, saving water and time. Some smart clothes may even help us communicate by translating languages instantly or showing messages on the fabric.

Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 1．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 2．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 3．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 4．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 5．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 6．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again? (no more than 30 words) 【答案】1．The main goal is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. 2．The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. 3．He earned money by helping with his parents’ garden. 4．Young people will have much more responsibility than their parents or grandparents. 5．Because she was in credit card debt and her parents refused to pay for her. 6．After clearing her debt, Giselle would allocate income first to an emergency fund, then manage all other spending with a strict budget. 【导语】本文主要探讨了家长如何帮助孩子学会理财，并通过多个案例说明了让孩子拥有和管理自己的钱的重要性。 1．第一段“The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely”直接说明了大多数家长的主要目标是教孩子明智地管理钱，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 2．第二段金融规划师Peg Eddy说“The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own”直接说明了培养善于理财的孩子的关键是让孩子拥有一些自己的钱去学习，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 3．第三段“Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden”直接说明了Ryan通过帮父母打理花园赚钱，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 4．第四段David Brady说“Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents”直接说明了年轻人对自己的财务未来会比父母或祖父母承担更多责任，这是原文中的信息，直接提取。 5．第七段“Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job”直接说明了Giselle因为父母拒绝替她还债而去工作，这是原文中的因果信息，直接提取。 6．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。可结合文中理财建议进行合理规划，言之成理即可。 Passage 5 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过8个单词, 最后一题词数不限。 Zhang Xue Motorcycles, also called ZXMOTO (张雪机车), is a famous Chinese motorcycle brand.

To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining (郎世宁). He was born in 1688 in Milan, Italy. In 1715, he traveled to Beijing. With experience as a muralist, he was invited to work as a court artist. Seven years later, Emperor Yongzheng came to power. By then, Castiglione had already made a name for himself. He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods. In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long. Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a brushstroke is placed, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper. After carefully planning every detail, he copied the design onto silk, stroke by stroke. It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting. There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it. But the following emperor, Qianlong, was deeply impressed and called the painting a masterpiece. As its title suggests, One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in various poses (姿势). Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water, roll on the ground or even fight. The painting’s large size alone is enough to impress most viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. Castiglione skillfully combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork. The trees, horses and people appear lifelike, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western beauty. Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much. 1．What was Castiglione famous for? 2．When did Castiglione finish drawing One Hundred Horses? 3．Why did Castiglione practice painting One Hundred Horses on paper rather than silk? 4．What makes One Hundred Horses a masterpiece? (There should be more than one point.) 5．Please appreciate the painting from the four aspects. (Look-What can you see? Feel-How does it make you feel? Think-What do you think of it? Discover-What else do you want to know about it?) 【答案】1．A unique style combining Western and Chinese painting methods. 2．In 3. 4．Because painting on silk can’t be corrected once started, so he practiced on paper to plan details first. 5．It shows about 100 horses in various poses and combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork. 6．Look: 100 horses in different poses, plus trees and people. Feel: Amazed by the lifelike details and peaceful vibe. Think: A brilliant mix of Eastern and Western art. Discover: How he balanced the two painting styles. 【导语】本文讲述了意大利画家郎世宁，融合中西技法创作《百骏图》的故事。 1．文章指出“He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods.”，郎世宁以融合了中西绘画技法的独特风格而闻名。 2．文章指出“In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long.”和“It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting.”，1724年他开始作画，耗时四年完成，1724+4=1728。 3．文章指出“Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a brushstroke is placed, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper. After carefully planning every detail, he copied the design onto silk, stroke by stroke.”，在丝绸上作画一旦落笔就无法修改，难度很高，所以他先在纸上练习，以便精心规划每一个细节。 4．根据文中描述，《百骏图》之所以是杰作，既因为它宏大的篇幅与生动的形象，也因为它巧妙融合了中西绘画技法，还体现了人与自然、东西方审美的和谐平衡。 5．按“Look-Feel-Think-Discover”四步，结合文本做简洁作答，答案不唯一，合理即可。 2 / 22 1 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题11 阅读回答问题12篇（新题型预测） Passage 1 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Liu Ziqing, a 63-year-old Chinese man, fell in love with ballet (芭蕾舞) when he was a little boy. He even watched The Red Detachment of Women ballet show in the early 1960s over 10 times. However, Liu never really got the chance to practise it. That was because he grew up in a poor family in a village. He ended up becoming a farmer and working as a street cleaner. But he never gave up his love for ballet. And at age 53, he decided to become a ballet dancer. “One day, I saw a ballet training course (课程) on TV. This gave me the idea that I should try to learn to dance,” Liu said. Becoming a ballet dancer at age 53 wasn’t an easy thing. Most of his friends just didn’t understand why he put himself through this difficult training at his age, but Liu Ziqing didn’t care about them at all. During the course of learning ballet, staying in good shape (体形) was the most difficult. Liu sometimes has to sleep in a leg press position (姿势) to make him strong. Luckily, his family is always on his side. Ballet gives Liu a lot. “In the past, I had stomach problems. Now, after ten years of dancing, I don’t have those problems,” Liu said. “When I take classes with those young students, I feel young again,” he added. “I am now doing what I wanted to do when I was young.” 1．Why did Liu never get the chance to practise ballet when he was a little boy? 2．When did Liu decide to become a ballet dancer? 3．What was the most difficult for Liu during the course of learning ballet? 4．How did Liu feel when taking ballet courses? 5．Do you think it’s ever too late to start a new hobby? Why or why not? Passage 2 Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. He made a tool that can find pesticides (农药) on fruits and vegetables. This won him $25,000 (about180,000 yuan) and the title of “Best Young Scientist in America”. Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question. His mother always told him to wash fruit before eating it. The boy wondered if the action did any good. He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides. They can bring health problems like cancer. Washing only gets away part of the pesticides. “If we could find them, we could avoid eating them and lower the risk of those health problems,” Subash said. This led Subash to invent PestiSCAND, a small tool that people can carry around. It works by shining lights and seeing how light reflects (反射) off food. With the help of a sensor (传感器), a screen and an AI learning model, the tool can find out if there are pesticides around. To use it, users must point PestiSCAND at the fruit or vegetable to see if they need to wash it again. They can use an app on phones to check the results. During testing, PestiSCAND was right more than 85 percent of the time in finding pesticides. Subash plans to improve his tool and hopes to get it to market by the time he starts college. His love for science will never go away. “In 15 years, I hope to be designing and building devices (设备) that can help make the world a better place,” said Subash. 回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词。 1．How old is Sirish Subash? 2．What does Subash’s idea come from? 3．Why are pesticides bad for our health? 4．How can people check the testing results? 5．What do you think makes Subash successful?

The accident happened when he tried to make a hole in leather with a sharp tool, which slipped and hurt his left eye badly and lost its sight. Soon after, his right eye also lost its sight due to an infection of optic neuritis (视神经炎). Eventually, he became completely blind. At first, life was scary and challenging for him, but with his family’s love, he soon learned to feel his way around the house and memorize the positions of everything with his hands. His father, Simon-René, encouraged him not to give up on reading and made a special nail board with alphabet bumps for him to touch and recognize letters. Later, Louis was sent to the world’s first school for blind children in Paris. There, he was excited to read books with stamped letters (凸印文字) and quickly finished every book in the school library. When Captain Barbier visited the school and showed a dot-based writing system for soldiers and the blind, Louis found its 12 dots per symbol too complex and realized it lacked numbers and musical notes, so he decided to improve it. During the summer holidays, Louis worked diligently on a new system under a shady tree in his backyard. He simplified the design to 6 dots, arranged in two columns of three (两列三行), which fit perfectly under a fingertip and could represent letters, numbers and various symbols. At 15, he proudly presented his creation to his teachers and Captain Barbier, who were all amazed by his clever idea. Louis’ 6-dot system was an immediate hit among his classmates. They happily used it to write poems and dreamed of reading novels printed with these dots. Little did Louis know that his small invention would one day change the world for blind people everywhere. He smiled softly, thinking to himself, “________” Task 1: Answer the questions. 1．Why did Louis become totally blind? 2．What did Louis’ father make to help him learn to read? 3．What was the problem with Captain Barbier’s writing system? 4．How many dots did Louis use in his new writing system? 5．What’s the main idea of the passage? Task 2: 6．Based on Louis’s story, write down what he was thinking to himself. Write sentences in about 30 words. Passage 5 Writing a news report about natural disasters is a useful skill. A good news report has clear structure and correct facts. It usually includes a headline, lead paragraph, body and ending. The headline is short and tells the main event. The lead paragraph comes first. It answers the key questions: what, when, where, who and why. The body gives more details about the disaster, such as damage, death number and rescue work. The ending tells about future plans or rebuilding. When you write a news report, you should use past tense for the event and present perfect tense for rescue work. You should write in the third person and give true information. Do not add your own feelings. Making a leaflet is also helpful. A disaster leaflet for communities introduces a kind of disaster, its causes and effects. It tells people what to do before, during and after the disaster. It often uses clear pictures and simple language so everyone can understand easily. Leaflets can be put up in communities, schools and hospitals. They help people learn safety knowledge quickly. Good leaflets can save lives when disasters come. Task 1 回答问题 1．What does a good news report include? 2．What does the lead paragraph answer? 3．What tenses should we use in a news report? 4．What does a community disaster leaflet tell people? 5．Where can we put up disaster leaflets? Task 2 主观表达 6．Why is it helpful to make disaster leaflets for communities? (No more than 30 words) Passage 6 Lily is my deskmate and one of my closest friends. She has a warm heart and is always ready to help others. Last term, our school held an English speech contest, and I was nervous to take part in it because I was afraid of speaking in front of a large crowd. When Lily knew my worry, she encouraged me to take part in it. She said, “You have a good English pronunciation. Just believe in yourself! I will practise with you every day.” From that day on, we practised together after school. Lily listened to my speeches carefully and pointed out my mistakes patiently. She also taught me some skills to relax before speaking, like taking deep breaths. On the day of the contest, I still felt a little nervous. Lily held my hand and said, “Take it easy. You’ve practised so hard, and you will do well.” Her words made me feel much more confident. When I stood on the stage, I looked at Lily in the audience. She smiled at me and gave me a thumbs-up. With her support, I finished my speech smoothly. Finally, I won the third prize. I ran to Lily and hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Lily! I couldn’t have done it without you,” I said. Lily laughed and replied, “You’re welcome. I’m so proud of you!” This experience made me realise that a true friend will always support you when you need help. 1．What event made the writer feel nervous last term? 2．How did Lily help the writer prepare for the English speech contest? 3．What skill did Lily teach the writer to relax before speaking? 4．What did Lily do to encourage the writer on the contest day? 5．What did the writer realise from this experience? 6．Suppose you are the writer, please continue the story in no more than 30 words. (Hint: What did the writer and Lily do after the contest?) Passage 1 The essence of true friendship Friendship is one of the most precious gifts life has to offer. It is a bond that transcends time, distance, and circumstance. True friendship is not about how often you meet or how much you give; it is about the depth of understanding, the strength of support, and the warmth of unconditional love. A true friend is someone who stands by you through thick and thin. They are the ones who celebrate your successes as if they were their own and who offer a shoulder to lean on during your darkest hours. True friends listen without judgment, speak with honesty, and act with kindness. They are the mirrors that reflect your true self and the anchors that keep you grounded. Friendship is also about shared experiences and memories. It is the laughter that echoes in your heart long after the moment has passed, and the stories that become legends over time. Whether it’s a spontaneous (自发的) adventure, a heartfelt conversation, or a simple act of kindness, these moments, weave the fabric of a lasting friendship. In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, true friendship provides a sanctuary of peace and stability. It is a reminder that we are not alone, that there are people who care deeply about us and who will walk beside us no matter what. So cherish your friends, for they are the treasures of your life. Nurture your friendships with time, attention, and love. And remember, the best kind of friendship is the one that makes you a better person, the one that inspires you to grow, to dream, and to be the best version of yourself. 1．What is friendship compared to in the passage? 2．What is true friendship about, according to the passage? 3．What will a true friend do when you succeed? 4．What role do true friends play in your life? 5．What should we do to keep our friendships lasting? Task 2: 6．Do you think shared experiences help keep friendships? Write no more than 30 words with a short example. Passage 2 In April, a powerful windstorm blew through North China, turning skies orange and making trees dance like crazy. According to weather reports, winds hit over 130 km/h as strong as a tropical (热带的) storm in mountain areas of Beijing and Hebei, while flat areas experienced winds of 90—110 km/h. This kind of storm is very unusual for April, and it lasted for more than 48 hours, knocking down street signs and making airplanes to cancel (取消) flights. Besides strong winds, the storm carried thick sand and dust (尘土) from Mongolia and China’s northwest deserts. They make the sky dark, making it look like nighttime during the day. In cities like Beijing and Tianjin, the air pollution (污染) got to the worst level possible. People had to wear masks not only for health protection but also to keep off polluted air. Schools closed, parks shut down, and delivery services received many orders as people stayed indoors. The storm caused many dangers, including: * Falling signs * Flying rubbish and branches * Overturned trucks on highways Scientists warned that the wind was strong enough to lift small cars. At the same time, heavy snowstorms in Inner Mongolia made the situation even worse. How did people stay safe? Scientists gave the following advice: ☆Stay indoors ☆Close windows tightly ☆Move light items inside 1．What was the speed of wind in flat areas according to Paragraph 1? 2．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to? 3．Why did people have to wear masks in Beijing and Tianjin? 4．What dangers did the storm cause according to the text? 5．What will you do to keep safe if there is a storm in your city? (At least 4 tips) Passage 3 The changing clothes: a story of fashion What we wear every day is more than just clothes. It tells a story about our time, our culture, and even our technology. Fashion in China has changed greatly over the years, showing how people’s lives and ideas have  developed. In ancient times, clothing style in China was stable for centuries. People wore traditional clothes like hanfu. The  style, colour, and material of clothes could often tell a person’s social status. For example, bright yellow was often only for the emperor and his family. In the early 20th century, things began to change quickly. The cheongsam (qipao) became popular for women. It mixed traditional Chinese elements with a more modern, fitted silhouette (剪影) Meanwhile, Western-style suits and dresses started to appear in big cities like Shanghai, showing the beginning of global influence on Chinese fashion. After the 1980s, with China’s reform and opening-up, young people began to have more choices. They were  crazy about new ideas from abroad. Blue jeans, T-shirts, and sunglasses became symbols of being modern and free. People started to use clothes to express their individuality, not just to follow tradition. In the 21st century, fashion has become highly diverse and fast-paced. Thanks to the Internet and fast fashion brands, trends change very quickly. A style popular in Paris or Seoul can be seen on the streets of Beijing or Chengdu in just a few weeks. Platforms like Xiaohongshu and TikTok allow everyone to be both a fashion follower and a  trendsetter. Today, people are also thinking more about what’s behind the clothes. The ideas of sustainable fashion and “vintage” style are becoming popular. This means people are paying more attention to protecting the environment and appreciating classic styles that last longer than just one season. Looking into the future, fashion will likely continue to mix technology with personal expression. Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health. One thing is for sure: fashion will keep reflecting  who we are and the world we live in. Task 1: 1．What could the clothes tell about a person in ancient China? 2．What happened to fashion after the 1980s in China? 3．What makes fashion trends change so quickly in the 21st century? 4．What are the two popular ideas in fashion today mentioned in the passage? Task 2: 5．The passage ends by saying: “Maybe we will have smart clothes that can change colour or monitor our health.” What other innovative features can you imagine for smart clothes? (Use your own words in at least 30 words.) Passage 4 Parents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money, learning to save, and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals? “All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy (善于理财的) kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use, “says financial (金融的) planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own. The Tidler family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan has made $7,800 by helping with his parents’ garden. Besides, he bought a bike and a wonderful sound system. And he is going to buy a car next year. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents. Learn Now, Save Later Money skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.” Experts say, knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to get what they really want. That means long- term planning and saving for big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity. Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time,” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资). That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal finance class. Talking About It Many kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parents think only about what kids shouldn’t do. They argue that kids are young and inexperienced, they may easily get in debt if they manage their own money. Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says. “That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.” Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves. 1．What is the main goal of most parents when it comes to their kids and money? 2．According to financial planner Peg Eddy, what is the key to raising a money-savvy kid? 3．How did Ryan from the Tidler family earn his money? 4．What does David Brady say about young people’s responsibility for their financial future? 5．Why did Giselle Lopez get a job? 6．After finally paying off  her credit card debt, how would Giselle plan her future spending to avoid falling into debt again?

To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining (郎世宁). He was born in 1688 in Milan, Italy. In 1715, he traveled to Beijing. With experience as a muralist, he was invited to work as a court artist. Seven years later, Emperor Yongzheng came to power. By then, Castiglione had already made a name for himself. He was famous for a unique style that combined Western and Chinese painting methods. In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk handscroll nearly eight meters long. Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a brushstroke is placed, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper. After carefully planning every detail, he copied the design onto silk, stroke by stroke. It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting. There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it. But the following emperor, Qianlong, was deeply impressed and called the painting a masterpiece. As its title suggests, One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in various poses (姿势). Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water, roll on the ground or even fight. The painting’s large size alone is enough to impress most viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. Castiglione skillfully combined Western realism with Chinese brushwork. The trees, horses and people appear lifelike, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western beauty. Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much. 1．What was Castiglione famous for? 2．When did Castiglione finish drawing One Hundred Horses? 3．Why did Castiglione practice painting One Hundred Horses on paper rather than silk? 4．What makes One Hundred Horses a masterpiece? (There should be more than one point.) 5．Please appreciate the painting from the four aspects. (Look-What can you see? Feel-How does it make you feel? Think-What do you think of it? Discover-What else do you want to know about it?) 2 / 22 1 / 22 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题11 阅读回答问题12篇（新题型预测） Passage 1 【答案】1．Because he grew up in a poor family in a village. 2．At age 3./When he was 53 (years old). 4．Staying in good shape. 5．He felt young again. 6．No, I don’t think so.
