Not about seafood, it actually talks about Open Claw — a new AI program with a bright red lobster picture. Many Internet users began to call the activity of downloading and using this tool “raising lobsters”, and soon it became popular across the country. Meanwhile, the 2026 Two Sessions (两会) included “building a new form of smart economy” in its government work report. This policy (政策) shows that AI is no longer just a fashionable idea, but a key driving force behind national development and social progress. However, the popularity of “raising lobsters” has also caused some problems. Some carelessly lost important files, while others got unexpected charges. Worse still, personal information was stolen and wrong operations were reported. All these remind us that smart technology is a double-edged sword. While it brings great convenience to our daily life, it may also lead to serious problems if we use it without care. As middle school students, we are expected to treat new technologies with a smart attitude. Instead of following the crowd blindly, we should improve our awareness of self-protection and learn to tell safe online behavior from risky ones. Technology is created to serve human beings and build a better world. Only by using AI wisely and responsibly, can we truly benefit from modern technology and stay safe in the digital age. 1．Why does the writer mention the question “Have you raised a lobster?”? A．It is just a topic about delicious seafood. B．It tells people the importance of keeping pets. C．It advises readers to take part in online games. D．It is used to lead in the new AI tool — Open Claw. 2．What can we learn about Open Claw from the passage? A．It is a tool used to raise real lobsters. B．It is designed only for government workers. C．It can help people make much money easily. D．It is an AI program with a bright red lobster picture. 3．What does the 2026 Two Sessions work report show? A．People should use AI programs without thinking. B．The “lobster” craze is supported by the government. C．AI is of great importance to the country’s development. D．Students should pay more attention to national policies. 4．Which of the following is NOT a risk mentioned in the passage? A．Important files loss. B．Unexpected charges. C．Personal information loss. D．Too much time waste online. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To describe a popular online game. B．To introduce the AI tool Open Claw. C．To advise using AI wisely and carefully. D．To encourage more people to join the “lobster” craze. Passage 2 （2026.四川省广元市.二模） In 2025, a Chinese tech company called DeepSeek made a new AI model called DeepSeek-R1. This smart program can do many things. It can solve math problems, write computer code, and even chat like people. DeepSeek-R1 is different from other AI models. It doesn’t need a lot of money to train. In fact, it was trained with very little money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by practicing a lot. The more it tries, the better it gets. A teacher in Thailand said, “It helps students learn more easily than before. It’s like having a smart helper in the classroom.” The AI is free for schools and small businesses. This means that even small villages without the internet can use it. However, DeepSeek-R1 is not perfect. It still has some problems. For example, sometimes it mixes up languages like French and Spanish. This means it might not always understand or speak these languages correctly. The team at DeepSeek is working hard to improve DeepSeek-R1. They want to fix these problems and make it even better. “We hope AI can connect people around the world and build bridges,” they said. DeepSeek-R1 shows that creativity and hard work can change the future. 1．What is DeepSeek-R1? A．A Chinese tech company. B．A new AI model made by DeepSeek. C．A math problem-solving book. D．A computer code program. 2．What makes DeepSeek-R1 different from other AI models? A．It can be used only online. B．It needs a lot of money to train. C．It was trained with very little money. D．It is designed only for big businesses. 3．Who said DeepSeek-R1 is like a smart helper in the classroom? A．A teacher from China. B．A teacher from America. C．A teacher from France. D．A teacher from Thailand. 4．What problem does DeepSeek-R1 still have? A．It can’t work offline in small villages. B．It sometimes mixes up French and Spanish. C．It isn’t free for schools and small businesses. D．It never gets better after a lot of practice. 5．What is the team at DeepSeek trying to do now? A．Stop using DeepSeek-R1 in schools. B．Sell DeepSeek-R1 to big companies. C．Improve DeepSeek-R1 and fix its problems. D．Make DeepSeek-R1 only understand Chinese. Passage 3 （2026.四川成都市.模拟) Lots of new and amazing things are going on in China’s Tiangong Space Station. Let’s read four interesting stories about it. a Shenzhou-19 astronauts did China’s first fruit fly experiment in the Tiangong Space Station. Scientists choose fruit flies because they share similar genes (基因) with humans. They grow fast, so scientists can get clear study results in a short time. The experiment helps learn how space influences living things. It helps people know more about long-term space life for humans. b China’s space station has a new hot-air oven. Astronauts can now cook delicious food like chicken wings. In the past, space food was only ready-to-eat. The oven uses special technology to deal with smoke and oil. It keeps the space station safe and clean. With over 190 kinds of food, astronauts have healthy and tasty meals in space. c Special mice went to the Tiangong Space Station. It was China’s first space experiment on small mammals (哺乳动物). At first, there were 300 mice. After some strict tests, only 48 mice were kept. Then they took the final test. At last, two male mice and two female mice were chosen. Astronauts studied how space affected their bodies and genes. The study helped keep astronauts safe during long space trips. d Astronauts from Shenzhou-19 tested a new robot that can check pipes (管道) in the Chinese space station for the first time in the world. The space station has many pipes, but checking them is difficult and dangerous for astronauts. The smart robot can change its body size to go through different pipes. It is safe and can find problems easily. This great success shows China’s fast development in space technology. 1．Why do scientists choose fruit flies for the experiment? A．They can live long in space. B．They are similar to humans in genes. C．They help people know more about space. 2．What can astronauts do with the hot-air oven? A．Deal with smoke and oil. B．Cook delicious food. C．Enjoy ready-to-eat meals. 3．How did the scientists choose the mice for the space experiments? A．Picked 4 from 300 directly. B．Kept 48 first, then chose 4. C．Chose males first, then females. 4．According to passage d, what is difficult and dangerous for astronauts? A．Checking the pipes. B．Testing the pipe robots. C．Going through different pipes. 5．What do the four passages mainly talk about? A．China’s future space plans. B．The importance of space technology. C．Chinese achievements in space technology. Passage 4 (2026.四川成都市.二模） A new study has found that the brain goes through five clearly different stages between birth and death. Scientists have found the ages — 9, 32, 66, and 83 — when the way our brain cells connect with each other begins to change. The brain’s “teenage” stage lasts until age 32, they discovered. After that, it enters a period of relative calm until early aging begins at 66. Between 66 and 83, some parts of the brain form stronger groups, but they don’t connect as well with other groups. After 83, in the late aging stage, the connections between different brain areas start to break down. The brain then depends more on separate areas and a few heavily used pathways (路径) between them, said Alexa Mousley, a brain scientist at the University of Cambridge. She wants to know whether these changes in the brain make it more open to certain brain-related health problems. This is because there seems to be a bridge between the five stages and some common illnesses. For example, most autism diagnoses (自闭症诊断) happen in young children, up to 75% of mental health conditions begin by the time a person is in his/her early 20s, Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默) disease usually appears during the early aging stage. Heart health, staying socially connected, and exercise are all linked to better brain health as we age. It’s possible that these also play a role in how the brain rewires (重组) itself later in life. 1．According to the passage, until what age does the brain’s “teenage” stage last? A．9 years old B．32 years old C．66 years old 2．What happens to the brain during the late aging stage? A．Some brain areas form stronger groups. B．Different brain areas connect less strongly. C．The brain becomes more active than before. 3．When does Alzheimer’s disease usually appear according to the research? A．During the teenage stage B．During the late aging stage C．During the early aging stage 4．Which of the following is mentioned to help keep the brain healthy? A．Taking medicine B．Staying alone C．Doing exercise 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The brain’s self-development under any situation. B．The five different stages of the human brain with age. C．The connections between brain development and physical health. 主题02 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 （2026.四川德阳市.二模) When is bedtime? If you don’t have a phone or a watch, don’t worry. Every living thing has a built-in clock that follows the sun. For a long time, people thought daylight told animals when to rise or rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this with a mimosa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves folded up at night, but when he put it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still folded and unfolded as usual. He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night. This clock is called the daily cycle (日循环). Daily cycles tell our bodies when to sleep, eat, and grow. They even help animals know when to move or rest for the season. These clocks help living things follow the sun’s light. Humans have a special light sensor (传感器) at the back of the eyes. These help send a message when it’s bright or getting dark. The daily circle then sends “wake up” or “sleep” signals (信号). This sensor helps reset (重置) our body’s clock. That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel tired at first. Your body’s clock doesn’t match the local time, but soon, sunlight and darkness help reset it. So, don’t worry about missing your watch — your inner (内部的) clock runs on sun time. 1．What does the underlined word “built-in clock” probably mean? A．A clock you make by yourself. B．A clock you buy from a shop. C．A clock that runs with sunlight. D．A clock inside living things’ bodies. 2．What happened to the mimosa in the dark cupboard? A．Its leaves turned yellow quickly. B．Its leaves stopped moving completely. C．Its leaves only folded but never unfolded. D．Its leaves still opened and closed as usual. 3．Where is the special light sensor in humans? A．At the back of the eyes. B．Inside the brain center. C．At the back of the ears. D．In the heart and blood. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Sunlight tells animals when to get up and sleep. B．People feel tired when they travel to new places. C．All living things have a clock inside their bodies. D．Plants can open and close their leaves every day. Passage 2 （2026.四川省南充市.二模） We do everything in a hurry—finishing our meals, completing our tasks, running to the gym... We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, checking off tasks on our to-do lists. ▲ Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well. For a long time, we have believed that speed means being productive and successful, and therefore, we keep rushing here and there in doing everything. Yet from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Program, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief (理念) finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量). Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs, rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives. Today, more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement, thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 1．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．There is so much for us to do every day. B．There is nothing for them to do every day. C．Living slowly feels like we are always enjoying time. D．Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time. 2．What is probably the topic of paragraph 3? A．The belief of the Slow Movement. B．The answer to the Slow Movement. C．The beginning of our predicament. D．The idea of the Slow Food Program. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Endless rush. B．Slow living. C．Each moment. D．Everything. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Most of us have control of time. B．No people enjoys preparing food. C．Cittaslow focused on slow living. D．Quantity is more valuable than quality. 5．What’s the purpose of this passage? A．To complain about the fast living. B．To encourage people to live slowly. C．To help people catch up with goals. D．To protect our traditional cooking. Passage 3 （2026.四川省德阳市.二模） Sanxingdui Museum is in Guanghan, Deyang, Sichuan. It lies by the Yazi River, about 40 kilometers north of Chengdu. As a large modern museum, it collects cultural relics (文物) from the Sanxingdui Site (遗址). Every year, many visitors from different places come to visit it because it is a good place to learn about ancient Chinese culture. The museum was built in 1992 and opened to the public in 1997. The Sanxingdui Site has a long history of 3,000 to 5,000 years. In 1929, a farmer found some jade (玉器) and stone works by accident when he was digging a ditch (沟渠). After that, people started to study the site and its cultural relics. In 1986, people found two big pits (坑) with over 1000 pieces of cultural relics, such as bronze statues (青铜人像), gold masks (面具) and jade articles. So far, about 13,000 pieces of cultural relics have been unearthed (出土) from the Sanxingdui Site. These cultural relics show the wisdom (智慧) of ancient people.

It is a traditional rotating (旋转的) lantern. It is an early example of ancient people using heat science in daily life. It works through air convection (对流). First, the hot air from a burning candle inside rises up and drives a small wheel to turn around. Then, the paper cuttings on it reflect lively shadows on the outer cover of the lantern. Its clever method is still used in many modern industries today. Zanhuawei is a traditional flower head wear from a small fishing village in Fujian. It shows the special hand-woven (编织) skill of the local women. They can fix a whole circle of fresh flowers on their hair perfectly only with fishing lines. Worn by local hard-working women for over a thousand years, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. An old local saying goes, “Put flowers in your hair in this life, and you’ll be pretty in the afterlife.” The flowers not only make local women look beautiful, but also stand for their wish for a happy life. The mortise-and-tenon join (榫卯结构) is the most important part of traditional Chinese wooden building art and skills. It lets wooden parts fit together perfectly without nails , making buildings both strong and not easy to fall down. It is able to bend (弯曲) a little without breaking to stand through earthquakes. This amazing special skill has a 7,000-year history, and is widely used in palaces, temples and folk houses across China. 1．What makes the Zou Ma Deng’s wheel turn around? A．The burning candle outside the lantern. B．The rising hot air from the candle inside. C．The moving shadows on the outer cover of the lantern. 2．What can we learn about Zanhuawei according to the passage?

A．The tradition of Zanhuawei comes from women living in a fishing village. B．The paper cuttings on Zou Ma Deng can keep the hot air inside the lantern. C．Mortise-and-tenon join protects buildings in earthquakes because it never bends. 5．What might be the common theme shared by the three treasures? A．Wisdom and creativity of ancient Chinese people. B．Beauty and good wishes of ancient Chinese people. C．Science and building art of ancient Chinese people. 主题04 人与自我——学习与生活 Passage 1 （2026.四川省绵阳市.二诊英语） Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. However, the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans. There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, a student may have to find more time to study. Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them. There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. The key to having successful new year’s resolutions is to find resolutions that are good for us—in other words, resolutions that meet with our lifestyle and interests.

People in the village respected him because he always gave good advice. One day, a young man named Tom visited Leo and complained about his life. He felt that everything was difficult, and he was often unhappy. Leo listened to Tom’s problems and invited him to take a walk to a nearby river. When they arrived, Leo gave Tom a handful of salt and asked Tom to put it in the river. Tom did as Leo asked. Then, Leo asked Tom to drink some water from the river. Tom drank, and the water tasted fresh. Next, Leo handed Tom another handful of salt and asked Tom to put it in a glass of water. Tom did so and then took a sip. This time, the water tasted very salty, and he couldn’t drink it. Leo smiled and said, “The salt is like the difficulties in life. When you put it in a river, it seems small. But when you put it in a glass, it seems large. If you see your problems from a wider perspective, they will not feel so overwhelming.” Tom left, feeling calmer and grateful for the wise old man’s lesson. He promised himself that he would see his problems in a new way from then on. 1．What did Leo ask Tom to do with the salt first? A．Put it in a glass of water. B．Put it in the river.

Cranes have very long necks and their necks are black. That’s why they are called black-necked cranes. Cranes travel very far every year. They spend about 5 months on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原). ②Starting in March, black-necked cranes will fly back to Qinghai. There are lakes and marshes (沼泽), perfect for them to live in. Year after year, black-necked cranes may fly to other places, but they always come back to the plateau areas. ③Their life is harsh, because they do not have enough food and the weather changes very often. Black-necked cranes have a very small population. They are under first-level state protection in China. Local people treat the birds with love. In local tradition, they are a symbol of good luck, so they are very popular. ④It is not hard to get along with the wild animals. Just give them a little more space. They can have a bigger chance to thrive (兴旺). People in Qinghai are working very hard to make sure the black-necked cranes live better. 1．How long do the cranes spend on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? A．About 3 months. B．About 4 months. C．About 5 months. D．About 6 months. 2．Which are the perfect places for black-necked cranes to live in? A．Forests. B．Rivers. C．Mountains.

Passage 2 (2026.四川成都市.二模） Rainforests are home to many kinds of plants, birds and animals. Can you believe that a small group of bushes in the Amazon may have more types of ants than all of Britain? About 480 kinds of trees can be found in just 10,000 square meters of rainforest. Rainforests are the “lungs of the Earth”. They breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 for all living things. They have their own ways to stay alive—tall trees form a top layer of leaves and branches, protecting themselves, small plants and animals from heavy rain, strong heat and strong winds. Surprisingly, the trees grow in a special way. Although their leaves and branches are close to each other, they never really touch those of other trees. Scientists think this can help stop tree illnesses from spreading and make it difficult for leaf-eating insects to live. To live in the forest, animals have to climb, jump or fly across these spaces. Different from what we see in films, the ground of the rainforest is not full of thick leaves and bushes. It is quite clear. Dead leaves turn into food for trees and other living things there. Rainforests can make 75% of their own rain. Every year, the rain is usually about 2032 mm, and in some places, it can be as much as 10922 mm. Such heavy rain can make small rivers rise about 3 to 6 meters in only two hours. The wet air in rainforests also helps make rain clouds for other countries that need rain. 1．Why are rainforests called the “lungs of the Earth”? A．Because they have many tall trees. B．Because they give homes to many animals. C．Because they take in CO2 and make O2 for the world. 2．How does the top layer of tall trees help the rainforest? A．It stops trees from touching each other. B．It protects living things there from bad weather. C．It provides enough living space for leaf-eating insects. 3．Why don’t the branches and leaves of different trees touch each other? A．To help animals jump across the spaces. B．To make leaf-eating insects live more easily. C．To help stop tree illnesses and harmful insects. 4．What can we learn about rainforests in the last paragraph? A．They need much rain from other places. B．The wet air from them helps other countries. C．Heavy rain in rainforests is bad for small rivers. 5．Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A．Nature. B．Life. C．Science. Passage 3 (2026.四川省南充市.二模） Have you ever wondered whether bamboo is a tree or a kind of grass? It is a kind of grass in the science of plants. Bamboo is really a wonder of nature. This fast-growing plant can be seen everywhere and is widely used. Bamboo has got many advantages, leading to its common uses for thousands of years. Bamboo is often used to produce daily products, such as chairs, beds and tables. What’s more, bamboo can be made into a kind of material for clothes. Bamboo can even be used as an excellent building material because it grows fast and it is strong. Bamboo is easy to decay (腐烂), so people have to add chemicals to make bamboo-based materials (竹基材料) stay for a long time. But these chemicals are bad for the environment. Chinese scientists have kept improving technologies to deal with this disadvantage. Here is a good example. In 2016, a Chinese research team in Nanjing began to work on new bamboo technologies. Later, the team succeeded in developing a new bamboo technology. The new technology is a heat treatment. This treatment moves decay-causing matters out of bamboo without adding chemicals that are harmful to the environment. At the same time, the structure (结构) of bamboo is well kept. As a result, new bamboo-based materials were produced and chosen as an excellent building material to build the scenic platforms (观景平台) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge—the world’s largest sea-cross bridge. Since the new bamboo-based materials were used on the platforms, they have stood sunlight, seawater and even the natural disasters. Now, the scenic platforms still remain as strong as ever. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a joke. D．By making up a story. 2．Which of the following is the advantage of bamboo? A．It grows slowly. B．It is strong. C．It is easy to decay. D．Its structure is badly kept. 3．Which of the following is TRUE about the new bamboo technology? A．It is a kind of heat treatment. B．It needs to add harmful chemicals. C．It changes bamboo’s structure greatly. D．It was developed by a Hong Kong team. 4．Where can we read this passage probably? A．In a novel. B．In a poster. C．In a science book. D．In a food newspaper. 5．Which of the following might be the ending sentence for the passage? A．Sadly, bamboo plants die after flowering. B．Many daily products are made of bamboo. C．Some kinds of bamboo are harmful to the environment. D．Bamboo will play a more important role in people’s life. 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） The word “demure” is old—it describes a quiet, polite person but it’s popular again on TikTok, a social media platform. Young people use it to describe everything, often with a sense of humor. TikTok is changing what words young people use. New words are coming out every day. “Skibidi” comes from a meme of a singing head in a toilet. “Skibidi” can mean “cool” or “very,” depending on how you use it. Besides, everyday expressions are given new “clothes”: Gen Z says “yapping” instead of “talking” and turns “beautiful” into “gyatt”. “ ▲ Each year, at least 100 English words are created or given new meanings,” says Benjamin, a language expert from King’s College London. What caused such change? The reason is closely connected with social media users. Most TikTok users are young people. They create new words to set themselves apart from adults. Fan groups like kpopfans and booktokers also create their own expressions. This speeds up how language changes. Although the new words win the heart of young people, and they show the liveliness of a language, they give a headache to dictionary makers. Dictionary makers find it hard to keep up. They add a word only after people have used it for years. They also require the word to have a stable (稳定的) meaning and be used across different social groups, not just in online communities. That process is too slow for modern talk. For example, “rizz” (meaning cool) became popular online in 2023, but it hasn’t been updated (更新) in the dictionary yet. TikTok has the perfect word for such a slow move: very demure. 1．Which of the following matches is correct? A．①-b    ②-c    ③-a B．①-c    ②-a    ③-b C．①-c    ②-b    ③-a 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The meme. B．The word “Skibidi”. C．A singing head. 3．Which can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．On social media, words change fast. B．On TikTok, language develops slowly. C．On social media, words are spread everywhere. 4．Why do dictionary makers find it hard to keep up with the changing language? A．Because they have some requirements for adding new words. B．Because they can’t add words that are from social media platforms. C．Because they update the dictionary faster than the speed of language change. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The slow updating speed of dictionaries. B．The return of old English words on TikTok. C．TikTok’s big influence on young people’s use of words.

Passage 4 (2026.四川省泸州市.二模) Technology has changed our lives in many ways. One of the most useful developments is artificial intelligence (AI). Many people think AI is only for young people, but it is also helping old people live better and more independently. Many old people have problems with daily life. For example, they often forget to take medicine, find it hard to move around, or feel lonely because they can’t keep in touch with their family easily. Some of them also think modern technology is too difficult to use. But AI machines are helping a lot. Smart speakers can help old people set reminders to take medicine, know the weather, and turn lights on or off just by using their voices. AI apps on phones can also watch over health. They can check heart rates and remind people to drink water or do some exercise. Some hospitals use AI to give medical advice online, so old people don’t have to go to hospitals often. My grandfather is a good example. He didn’t like technology before because he thought it was too difficult. However, everything changed when we introduced him to a smart speaker. Now, he can use it to listen to stories, call friends, and even buy daily things online. AI has made his life more convenient and enjoyable. AI is not only for young people. It is also helping old people. In the future, AI will help them live more independently, stay connected with families and keep healthy. 1．What is one challenge that many old people face? A．They don’t need to take medicine. B．AI technology is not useful for them. C．Daily activities can be difficult for them.

Passage 5 (2026.四川省德阳市.二模） Over 5 million shared bikes in China are using services offered by Beidou Navigation Satellite System (北斗卫星导航系统). These shared bikes all use Beidou-based positioning chips (芯片). The chips have high quality. They can deal with information accurately and quickly. They feature low power consumption. They provide a better user experience and easier management for the local companies. Now, several new models of shared electric bikes with Beidou-based chips have also started to be produced and put into the market. Besides positioning and navigation, the chips will help users and bike companies record user speed and battery condition of an electric bike. The possible crimes during the bike usage will also be recorded. In fact, years ago, shared bike companies began to use positioning chips which worked well with both GPS and Beidou services. After the Beidou system became fully in use in the summer of 2020, shared bike companies started installing Beidou-based chips on more bikes in more areas. The latest chips which are popular with bike companies are smaller and have more advantages over the old types. Since 2000, a total of 59 Beidou satellites have been lifted from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. After the final satellite was lifted in 2020, the system was completed and started providing global services. Beidou Satellite System is designed and developed by China and it is one of the four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. According to research in 2022, by the end of 2021, the total value connected with satellite navigation and positioning services in China was 469 billion yuan, a 16.3-percent increase year on year. More than 500,000 Chinese people now work at around 14,000 China’s companies and organizations doing business connected with Beidou and other satellite navigation and positioning services. 1．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．The history of shared bikes. B．The qualities of shared bikes. C．The advantages of Beidou-based chips. D．The producers of Beidou-based chips. 2．What does the underlined word “installing” mean in Paragraph 3? A．Putting away B．Putting off C．Putting through D．Putting in 3．How does the writer prove the value of satellite navigation and positioning services in Paragraph 5? A．By explaining reasons. B．By listing numbers. C．By comparing conditions. D．By introducing backgrounds. 4．What’s the best title of the passage? A．Technology Shapes the Future of the Products B．Users’ Needs Drive the Growth of the Products C．Competition Lifts the Quality of the Products D．Service Increases the Sales of the Products Passage 6 (2026.四川内江市.二模) Do you know potatoes can be turned into rice? In Yunnan, China, a factory makes special rice from potatoes. The factory uses new technology to change potatoes into small rice-like pieces. China is one of the largest potato producers in the world. Potatoes, as well as wheat, rice and corn, are among the most important crops in China. However, potatoes have much water inside. If the correct ways can’t be found to keep them, they will go bad easily. It leads to tons of waste. Potato rice technology can help keep potatoes longer and reduce waste. There are many advantages of potato rice. First, it keeps 90% of potato nutrition (营养) and has 27% more protein (蛋白质) than normal rice. Second, it hardly raises blood sugar. Speaking of buying rice, it is usually the first choice for people who want to control their blood sugar. What’s more, it’s easy to cook because there is no need to wash it. When people cook it, they can use less water. Potato rice cooks faster than normal rice. However, every coin has two sides. Although potato rice has entered the market, it still has a long way to go. Potato rice is much more expensive than normal rice because the factory needs 2.5 tons of potatoes to produce 1 ton of potato rice. It costs 33 yuan every kilo, but normal rice costs only 4-6 yuan every kilo. Experts say that future research will pay more attention to reducing the costs and improving the taste. 1．What is the special rice made from? A．Wheat. B．Potatoes. C．Tomatoes. D．Corn. 2．Who will most probably buy potato rice according to the passage? A．People who are losing weight. B．People with high blood sugar. C．People who like eating potatoes. D．People with good cooking skills. 3．How is potato rice different from normal rice? A．It is cheaper. B．It needn’t be washed. C．It has 90% more protein.

C．To introduce a new kind of healthy food. D．To teach people how to cook potato rice. 主题02 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 (2026.四川省广元市.模拟) Math isn’t just numbers in textbooks. It’s all around us, making our world more beautiful and convenient. Math in Poems In Chinese poems, the numbers give us the freedom to imagine. As Li Bai wrote, “I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day”, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “The waterfall rushes down three thousand feet from high”. These numbers show what Li Bai saw and how he felt. When we read the lines, there are pictures in our mind. Math in Paintings Art and math might seem different, but together they create wonderful works! Some studies show that when Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, he followed a special math rule called the “golden ratio” (黄金比例). The ratio was hidden in different parts of the painting, like the size of the canvas (画布), the face of the lady and the background behind her. This makes the painting beautiful and impressive (给人印象深刻的). Math in Traffic How do traffic lights “know” when to change? Traffic engineers use traffic flow (流动) models, a kind of model, to help cars move smoothly. They collect plenty of data (数据) like how many cars pass by, when people cross the street, busy times of a day and special events in the city. With these models, engineers can do lots of math and run many tests to study how the traffic moves better. This allows them to find the best timing for each traffic light. It makes our city green, smart and livable! Math makes our lives better and helps us understand the world in many surprising ways! 1．What do the numbers in Li Bai’s poems show? A．His imagination in the poems. B．His hometown and family. C．His jobs and working places. D．His experiences and feelings. 2．What does the underlined word “This” refer to? A．The canvas. B．The background. C．The golden ratio. D．The face of the lady. 3．How do engineers find the best timing for traffic lights? A．They control the number of cars on the road. B．They deal with traffic data with a math model. C．They count cars every day to change the timing. D．They watch the traffic lights’ time to change the time. 4．How does the writer develop the text? A．By listing numbers and choices. B．By giving opinions and examples. C．By describing problems and solutions. D．By asking questions and doing research. 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Beauty of Math B．The History of Poems C．The Difficulty of Math D．The Development of Paintings Passage 2 (2026.绵阳市涪城区.二诊) What can trees tell us about climate change? Trees are essentially nature’s data scientists. Without Wi-Fi, they have been recording environmental data for thousands of years. Here is how these woody historians tell us the story of our changing planet. First Year Growth Ring: You may find that the top of the stump (树桩) has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. Tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought (干旱), the tree might hardly grow at all in those years. Earlywood (Light color): Grows quickly in the spring when water is plentiful. Latewood (Dark color): Grows more slowly in the late summer and autumn as conditions become harsher. One light ring and one dark ring make one year of the tree’s life. Fire Scar:The fire leaves a “scar” in the ring of that year. An increase in fire scars in recent rings tells us the land is becoming drier and flammable (易燃的). 1．According to the poster, which part of a tree can record the climate? A．Its roots. B．Its leaves. C．Its rings. D．Its branches. 2．How old is the tree in the poster? A．About 13 years old. B．About 17 years old. C．About 19 years old. D．About 22 years old. 3．Which of the following stumps lived in a warmer and wetter place? A． B． C． D． 4．If a tree has many fire scars in recent years, which is most likely true? A．People started to protect the forest. B．The forest was very safe and green. C．The area faced more fire challenges. D．The weather was the wettest in history. 5．Where might you probably see this poster? A．At a bus station. B．In someone’s backyard. C．On a website about the climate. D．In a report on the data recording. Passage 3 (2026.四川省成都市.模拟） Today, modern medical knowledge helps doctors stop germs (病菌) from spreading quickly. Simple ways like covering our mouths when coughing and washing hands often are common healthy habits. But people did not always know these things. For hundreds of years, even doctors did not understand how sickness spread. When they looked after very sick people, they used different ways to stay safe, including some strange clothes. In 1619, a French doctor named Charles de Lorme made a special suit for doctors treating people with plague (瘟疫). The suit had a long coat, gloves, boots and a hat. Doctors also used sticks so they would not touch patients with their own hands. The most special part was a mask that looked like a bird, with a long beak, glass for eyes and small holes for the nose. So the suit was also called bird-like uniform. At that time, doctors thought bad air caused plague. So they put flowers inside the beak to keep bad air away. But flowers could not stop germs, and many doctors still became ill. Still, the coat, gloves, boots and bat helped protect doctors from plague carried by animals such as mice. Later, people learned more about germs and stopped using these bird-like uniforms. Though some early suits were strange and uncomfortable, they became an important part of medical history. Modern doctors wear simple, clean and safe clothes that protect both doctors and patients when there is a plague. This shows how much doctors’ protective clothes have improved over time. 1．What did French doctor Charles de Lorme create in 1619? A．A special uniform for doctors. B．A kind of glasses for looking cool. C．New medicine for the patients with plague. 2．Why did doctors put flowers in the bird-like mask? A．To help patients breathe more easily. B．To keep out the bad air they thought. C．To make the mask look very beautiful. 3．What do modern doctors wear as protective clothes when there is a plague? A．Long coats, gloves, boots and hats with sticks. B．Bird-like masks with long beaks and flowers inside. C．Simple, clean and safe clothes that protect both doctors and patients. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How people stop germs from spreading today. B．How doctors’ protective clothes have progressed. C．How French doctors fought against the plague successfully. 5．What do you think of the process of the creation in the article? A．It is useless at first. B．It is easy and quick. C．It is hard but meaningful. 主题03 人与社会——传统文化 Passage 1 (2026.四川省广元市.二模） Young Inventors Challenge (YIC) Our invention competition encourages students to work as a team to find new ways to solve today’s problems.

Passage 3 (2026.四川成都市.二模） Dong Lin’s grandfather was a puppet maker. Dong loved going into the workshop and hearing his grandfather talk about the puppets. Grandfather told Dong the puppet figures (人物) were made from thin leather (皮革). Once the puppets were made, they were put onto sticks which were put onto the neck of the puppet that helped it to move. The puppets were painted in very bright colors so that the shadows they made were very colorful. Dong was very proud of the day when Grandfather let him make his own puppet. Dong made a soldier and painted his face red to show how brave he was. Grandfather was satisfied with Dong’s work. He thought that Dong would be a very good puppet-maker one day. Grandfather then told Dong some strange things. He told Dong always to remember to take his puppet’s head off at night because the puppets came alive at night if their heads were left on. Dong did what his grandfather said to him. But one night he forgot... Dong was fast asleep when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He woke up and was surprised to see his soldier puppet standing next to him. His heart beat fast and he held his breath. The puppet moved his hand to show that Dong should follow. Dong was curious, and he followed the puppet happily. They went into Grandfather’s workshop and there were all the other puppets, alive and waiting for them. Lucky Dong, the puppets put on a puppet show just for him. At last he understood how a shadow play (皮影戏) worked. The puppets performed in front of a white screen that had light shining onto it. As the puppets moved, their shadows fell onto the screen and told the stories. They were all wonderful! Suddenly they heard Grandfather moving about in his room. Dong realized that the sun had begun to come up. The puppets all went back to their boxes and lay very still. Grandfather could not understand why Dong was so tired that day.

A．To teach readers how to make puppets. B．To explain the history of shadow play. C．To tell an interesting story about puppets. Passage 4 (2026.四川省德阳市.二模) There was an old Chinese story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. The Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed, silk became so important that the trade road from China to Europe got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟), you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something special. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation (合作) and exchange in history. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China? A．Leizu. B．The traders. C．Zhang Qian.

Dong Lili (39 minutes ago) I saw a notice for voluntary work at a children’s hospital, so my best friend and I offered to help. The children there suffer from serious diseases. Some of them were very sad. We wanted to cheer them up, so we organized a painting competition to raise their spirits. I met a girl called Jin Ya. She wanted to paint the park near her home. Because she couldn’t go there herself, I went to the park and took some photos for her painting.       185 Wang Jie (yesterday) My mother and I met some children with no parents.

Like warm lights in the city, these cabinets give free fresh food to people in need all day and all night. This project started in May 2022. The government leads it. Companies give food for free. So far, there are 22 smart cabinets in Futian. They have safe food like bread, fruit and vegetables. There is a nice activity called “veteran steamed buns (馒头)”. An old soldier uses his own money to make buns for people. It has become a very warm part of this project. Most of the food comes from 87 shops and companies. Companies that give food can get tax (税) cuts and public thanks. This makes more people want to join. They give extra food, or expired food that is almost out of date but still safe to eat. The project has easy rules: poor families, disabled people and cleaners can book free food on the “i Shenzhen” App before 8 p.m. Everyone can take the leftover food after 8 p.m. This helps stop food waste. Over the past 3.5 years, this project has helped 484, 000 people. It has saved 195 tons of food from being thrown away. It has also cut about 390 tons of waste gas. This is not just giving out food. It makes the community nicer and warmer. It also helps protect the environment. And it sets a good example of city kindness for the whole world. 1．Which of the following is the warm part of the project? A．The “veteran steamed buns” activity.

D．To show how popular the “i Shenzhen” App is among people. Passage 3 (2026.四川省绵阳市.二模） In a huge, burning desert, there stood a well-known and mysterious oasis (绿洲). People treated it as a natural wonder, with clear spring water and tall green trees—the only lively place in the endless golden sand. Many brave travelers had tried to find it, but most got stuck in strong sandstorms and were never seen again. One day, a young traveler named Karl decided to look for the oasis. He carefully prepared enough water and other things, checked his camel again and again, and then started his long and hard journey. For days, he struggled against the burning sun and strong winds. His lips were dry and cracked, his eyes hurt a lot, and his camel grew tired. However, no matter how desperate the situation became, he never gave up hope. Finally, on the seventh day, Karl noticed a little green. Excitedly, he hurried his camel forward at top speed. Before long, he stood within the oasis: cool springs, thick shade, singing birds—a true paradise (天堂) in the desert. He drank the fresh water, sat under a tree, and experienced pure joy and calm after days of suffering. But as he prepared to sleep for a while, he noticed a big stone at the heart of the oasis. Some words were written upon it: “The oasis is not the end, but a new beginning.” Karl sat in silence and thought for minutes. He gradually realized that this wonderful place was not his final destination (目的地). It was only a moment to restore his strength, refill his bottles with fresh water, and prepare for the long, unknown road ahead. With a clear mind and renewed bravery, he began to check his things carefully and prepared to step into the desert again. 1．What can we infer about the travelers who failed to find the oasis?

A．To stress the importance of never giving up. B．To show how terrible the desert weather was. C．To explain why Karl wanted to find the oasis. D．To make the story more interesting and livelier. 4．What is the correct order of Karl’s experience? ① He saw green far away. ② He started his trip on a camel. ③ He understood the meaning of the stone. ④ He faced the burning sun and strong wind. A．②→①→④→③ B．②→④→①→③ C．④→①→②→③ D．②→④→③→① 5．What can we learn from the story? A．It is important to help each other. B．Where there is life, there is hope. C．Success comes from good preparations.

Passage 4 (2026.四川省成都市.二模) A king needed a new leader for his Royal Guard (皇家卫队), so he set a challenge: to climb 1,000 steps in heavy armor (盔甲) to his mountaintop palace. Many men tried. However, most of them took the first step, looked up at the remaining 999 steps and gave up. Several men made it to the second or third step. They all thought it was impossible to finish the challenge. Then, a young man who didn’t look strong came. “One step at a time,” he kept telling himself. When he reached the fifth step, he surprisingly felt a pull from the top and his armor became lighter. Then each step made his armor lighter and his goal closer. When he reached the top, the king showed a pleased look and explained, “The challenge was created to make sure my new Royal Guard leader isn’t a man who gives up easily. The armor stands for difficult times, and the magnet (磁铁) on the mountain top, which made each step easier after the first few, stands for the strong mind and experience.” 1．How did most people feel about the challenge? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Hopeless. 2．Why did the young man’s armor become lighter as he climbed higher? A．Because a magnet was at work. B．Because he had a strong body. C．Because he got help from his competitors. 3．What kind of leader did the king want? A．A man who was wise. B．A man with rich experience. C．A man who faced difficulties bravely. 4．What was probably the ending of the story? A．The man became the new leader. B．The man kept the armor as a gift. C．The king gave the man some gold. 5．What lesson does this story teach? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Keeping on going makes things easier. C．Many hands make light work. Passage 5 (2026.四川成都市.二模） One day, Andy was taking a walk and happened to pass by a fascinating farm. He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. He felt strange and asked the farmer, “Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat?” Andy asked. The farmer shook his head slowly. His face looked very worried as he said, “I don’t think the weather will be good. I’m afraid that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. It may not come out at all. Even worse, it could rot in the soil.” Andy nodded in understanding and then asked, “Then, have you planted cotton?” The farmer thought for a while, and he said once again, “No. I’m worried about the insects this season. They may hurt the newly planted cotton. I just can’t take that risk.” Andy was surprised and asked again, “So what have you planted then?” The farmer sighed (叹气) heavily and answered, “I haven’t planted anything. I want to make sure that rain won’t harm my plants and insects won’t eat them.” There is no doubt that careful planning is important for success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can think and plan for a long time, but at some point, you must take action. That’s important. 1．What did Andy notice about the farmer? A．He looked worried. B．He got caught in the rain. C．He was busy working in the field. 2．What does the underlined word “rot” mean in this passage? A．Grow quickly. B．Go bad. C．Turn green. 3．What worried the farmer about planting cotton? A．The poor soil conditions. B．The change of the seasons. C．The insects are eating the cotton. 4．What does Andy most probably think of the farmer’s final decision? A．He agrees it is wise. B．He thinks it is silly. C．He believes it is proper. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．Planning Comes First B．Time Waits For No Man C．Acting Matters More Than Thinking 主题06 人与自我——亲情时光 Passage 1 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after losing his wife. His mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired, so he spent a lot of time alone. Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my dad. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world. I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love we didn’t get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever. If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime. 1．What do we know about the author’s family in Para.1? A．The author lived far from his dad. B．His dad couldn’t talk in voice freely. C．His grandma passed away not long ago. D．His mother lived with his dad for 20 years. 2．When the author visited his dad, what did he do? A．Did his homework quietly. B．Surfed the Internet happily. C．Cleaned his father’s house. D．Talked about life and memories. 3．What does the underlined word company mean in this passage? A．公司 B．陪伴 C．安慰 D．期待 4．What does author want to tell us in Para.3? A．His father’s retirement life. B．His favorite outdoor activities. C．The way to share love with his father. D．The best wishes for his grandchildren. 5．What can we get from the passage? A．There is no need to build a relationship. B．It is never too late to learn to be a parent. C．Don’t mend your hurting heart on your own. D．It’s necessary to spend time with those we love. Passage 2 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） A few weeks before Thanksgiving, I sent my college son a simple text. “Are you staying at school for the break, or coming home? And if you’re back, when? Let me know your plans! Love you!!!” He replied “Sure.” Sure? Sure to what? Sure you’re coming home? Sure you are staying?... I waited for further information but received nothing. I texted again the next day, yet he left my message on read for two weeks. On Thanksgiving morning, he suddenly appeared at home. I didn’t expect that. “You are here?!” I asked in surprise. “Yeah! I said I was coming.” “You only said ‘sure’.” “Yeah. Sure is short for I’m coming home.” Well, his short answer brought trouble: we had not prepared enough food, ▲ ... This made me think: Are one-word text replies polite, or am I just old? I always know that communication styles have changed. These days, people are in the middle of work emails, group chats and different apps. One-word answers can save time when people are busy. If someone texts you, “Did you buy milk?”, a simple “Yes” is clear. If your friend asks, “Italian or Thai for dinner?”, replying “Thai” is not rude. But to some people, like your mom, who gave you life, one-word answers may be not that good. What’s more, one word can also cause problems. Without voice or expressions, simple words may seem cold and cause misunderstanding. In my opinion, one-word replies are not always impolite, but unclear answers are. When we are busy, we should still reply clearly or explain we will write more later. And to my son: I love you. I’m so glad you made it home for the holiday! But next year, I’m requiring full sentences. How about making that our promise? 1．What was the main purpose the mother texted her son before Thanksgiving? A．To ask him to go home. B．To ask about his holiday plans. C．To show her great love. 2．Which can be put in ▲ ? A．grandpa hadn’t arrived B．his room hadn’t been tidied C．the turkey hadn’t been ready 3．What does the mother think of one-word replies? A．Fashionable but unacceptable. B．Clear but impolite. C．Cold and unclear. 4．How does the mother support her opinion on using one-word replies? A．By interviewing others about their texting styles. B．By asking several questions to make the readers think. C．By giving real-life examples and telling possible results. 5．What message do the underlined sentences show? A．The mother is inspiring her son to communicate more often. B．The mother is setting an expectation to prevent future misunderstandings. C．The mother is giving up on trying to understand her son’s communication style. 主题07 人与自然——保护环境 Passage 1 (2026.四川省广元市.二模） Snake dishes have become popular in recent years. Snake meat is often seen in restaurants. It seems that eating snakes is now in fashion, and if you haven’t eaten snakes yet, you’re considered out of date. But I wonder whether all of the trends (趋势) are worth following. Some people may say that eating snakes is good for their health. But these people don’t find out that mice and worms are often in snakes’ bodies, so there are many parasites (寄生虫) found inside snakes. They may be bad for our health. Besides this, we’re sorry to see that more snakes are being killed. According to the English newspaper, “About 1,000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China. In Shenzhen, sometimes as many as 10 tons of snakes are served on dinner tables in a single day.” If we still turn a blind eye to this, a vicious circle will be created: if more snakes are eaten by people, the number of snakes will drop, but the number of mice will increase, which will result in a decrease of crop output. This will make more people hungry. Who wants to see this happen? Let’s not eat snakes any more. To protect the snake is to protect ourselves. 1．What has become popular in recent years according to the first paragraph? A．Keeping snakes as pets. B．Selling snakes in markets. C．Eating snake dishes. D．Raising snakes on farms. 2．What can we find inside snakes’ bodies? A．Many parasites. B．Some seeds. C．A lot of water. D．Some small snakes. 3．What can be inferred from the numbers about eating snakes mentioned in paragraph 3? A．Shenzhen eats more snakes every year than the whole country. B．The daily amount of snakes served in Shenzhen can be extremely large. C．The 1,000 tons of snakes eaten nationwide all come from Shenzhen. D．Over 10 tons of snakes are usually served in Shenzhen each day. 4．What does the underlined word “vicious” probably mean in Chinese? A．良性的 B．短暂的 C．永恒的 D．恶性的 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The Popularity of Snake Dishes B．Protecting Snakes is to Protect Ourselves C．The Number of Snakes in China D．Parasites Inside Snakes’ Bodies Passage 2 (2026.四川省德阳市.二模） Have you heard of therapy (治疗) dogs? These specially trained dogs help people feel better, especially when they are having a hard time. They give warm support to anyone feeling lonely, stressed or nervous. Just like police dogs and guide dogs, therapy dogs bring great good to many people’s lives. Paw for Heal (PFH) is a warm program created by Wu Qi. Its main work is turning common pet dogs into good therapy dogs. PFH works with experts from old people’s homes and special schools to make proper, useful training plans for the pets. When picking therapy dogs, dog breed (种类) does not matter most. What counts is that the dog is gentle, calm and friendly. This is exactly how PFH chooses its dogs. These pets learn to follow simple orders, get on well with all kinds of people, and stay calm when things change suddenly. After strict training, they get an official certificate and can go out to comfort others. PFH therapy dogs do a wonderful job for two groups. For special children, the dogs help them feel brave to talk and play. For the elderly, the cute dogs encourage them to move more and fill their daily life with joy. Wu Qi hopes PFH can help more old people and special children connect with the world around them. With their wagging (摇晃的) tails, these sweet dogs bring real healing (治愈的) and long-lasting happiness to everyone they meet. 1．Who can get help from therapy dogs? A．People who hope for guide work. B．People who need caring support. C．People who ask for police service. D．People who require physical training. 2．What skills do therapy dogs learn during training? a. Follow orders.    b. Get on with different people.    c. Guide blind people. d. Catch thieves.    e. Stay calm in sudden situations. A．a, b, e. B．b, c, e. C．c, d, e. D．a, b, c. 3．According to the last paragraph, what does the writer think of therapy dogs? A．Calm and quiet. B．Shy and lovely. C．Sweet and helpful. D．Gentle and beautiful. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How to train a therapy dog step by step. B．How to connect therapy dogs with the old. C．The differences between therapy dogs and guide dogs. D．The introduction of therapy dogs and the PFH program. Passage 3 (2026.四川成都.二模） While dogs can’t tell you they’re sick, they can show you signs that they don’t feel well. Changes in your dog’s behavior can be small, but keep a close eye on your dog if it changes its routine. Your dog always waits for you by the door and it fails to show up for two days in a row. Your gentle, happy dog is suddenly biting and making low angry sounds. Your active dog isn’t wagging its tail looking to play outside. Or is your dog breathing more heavily than usual? You can tell something is wrong—and you’re probably right. Behavior changes paired with other problems in appetite, lethargy and physical differences mean that the problem is serious. Your dog should be taken to a vet (兽医). A sudden change in how much a dog eats—either overeating or loss of appetite—is a clear sign. Just as humans don’t want to eat when they aren’t feeling well, neither do dogs. Dogs will sleep longer as they age. However, if a dog breaks its routine and becomes even more lethargic than usual, this can be another sign of possible sickness. Besides, weight change is also a common sign of illness for dogs, but it can be hard to tell if your dog is getting heavier or lighter. People typically don’t weigh their pets, so they may not even realize their dog has lost or gained weight. You can usually stop by your vet’s office for free and do a quick weigh-in. 1．According to the passage, which behavior shows a dog might be unwell? A．Breathing more heavily. B．Greeting its owner at the door. C．Wagging its tail for a walk outside. 2．The underlined word “lethargic” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________. A．excited and happy B．active and noisy C．tired and lazy 3．Which statement about a dog is TRUE according to the passage? A．It can directly tell its owner that it is sick. B．Any behavior change requires a vet’s care right away. C．If the food in its bowl is left untouched, it may be ill. 4．What’s the structure of the text? A． B． C． 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Choose a Good Vet B．How to Tell If Your Dog Is Sick C．How to Take Care of a Sick Dog Passage 4 (2026.绵阳市涪城区.二模） Scientists who have been studying a group of sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) in Sydney have recently made an amazing discovery: the birds know how to use public drinking fountains (喷泉式饮水器) to get water. In 2018, Dr. Barbara Klump noticed a cockatoo drinking from a public drinking fountain in Sydney. She thought someone had forgotten to turn off the water. But after looking at a video, she realized that the bird was turning on the fountain by itself. Dr. Klump’s team then decided to study the cockatoos closely. They set up two cameras near a drinking fountain that the birds used often. Over 44 days, the cameras recorded the birds using the fountain 525 times. The scientists found that each bird did it a little differently, but they all used at least one foot to hold down the handle (把手) on the fountain and turn it on. And some put their foot on the water outlet. Once the water was running, they tried to drink from the fountain. Cockatoos are actually very intelligent birds. However they didn’t always succeed. The birds got water in only about 41% of their efforts to use the fountain. The birds had an especially hard time when they were in a hurry or when other cockatoos were trying to use the fountain at the same time. The scientists aren’t exactly sure why the cockatoos started using the drinking fountains. They say one possible reason is that the clean water tastes better to them than water from small pools. Another possibility is greater safety. There, the birds can watch out for dangerous birds while drinking. Dr. Klump says it’s also possible that the cockatoos just like the challenge of making the fountain work. 1．What made Dr. Klump start the study on cockatoos? A．Cockatoos were the most intelligent birds. B．Cockatoos drank from public water fountains. C．A cockatoo forgot to turn off a public fountain. D．A cockatoo turned on the water fountain by itself. 2．According to the passage, how do the cockatoos turn on the fountain? A．By using at least one foot. B．By waiting for humans’ help. C．By standing on the water outlet. D．By working together with other birds. 3．In which situation would a cockatoo likely fail to get water? A．When drinking from the small pools. B．When using its foot to press the handle. C．When several cockatoos used one fountain. D．When the cameras recorded the birds’ behaviors. 4．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? A．The public fountains might be polluted by birds. B．The possible reasons behind this unusual bird behavior. C．The ways cockatoos turned on fountains when drinking. D．The different types of dangerous birds living in Sydney. 5．Which would be the best title for this passage? A．A Famous Bird Protector B．The Best Invention for Sydney Birds C．How Cockatoos Used a Human Tool D．Why Birds Should Watch Out While Drinking Passage 5 (2026.四川省成都市.二模) A To protect migratory (迁徙的) birds, Shenzhen Bay Park has turned down its night lights. Bright lights have a bad influence on the migratory birds’ rest. The government only turns down lights in bird habitats (栖息地), keeping safe lighting for visitors. Shenzhen also makes rules to protect birds. Many Chinese cities are taking similar actions. This shows that city development should go well with environmental protection. B Recently, the idea of “rebuilding reading habits” has caused heated discussion. A survey shows adults spend much more time on e-reading than paper reading. In the age of short videos, deep reading has become a skill that many people need to relearn. It suggests people start with simple books, such as children’s stories or picture books instead of difficult ones. Rebuilding good reading habits is not only personal but also very important to our society. C Nowadays, people care more about healthy eating. Some top Chinese hospitals start selling meals online. And these meals developed by experts get more and more popular. They meet different needs, such as weight control. People like these safe and nutritious (营养的) meals instead of oily and salty ones. This way shows hospitals help people stay healthy not only by treating illnesses but also by guiding people back to good eating habits—eat light, live well. D Li Tao, a worker in Beijing, is from Henan. He spent 100 yuan watching a Yu Opera show on his birthday. He sang with the performers. It made him feel closer to his hometown. For people living far away, traditional opera is more than just having fun. It also connects them to their cultural DNA．To stay lively, opera keeps changing with modern times. 1．Why does Shenzhen Bay Park turn down its night lights? A．To help migratory birds sleep well. B．To avoid strong light harming people. C．To encourage people to visit during the day. 2．What is the suggested first step to rebuild reading habits? A．Spending more time on e-reading. B．Watching fewer short videos. C．Reading simple books. 3．What makes the hospital meals so popular? A．They can be ordered online. B．They are safe and nutritious. C．They are designed to treat illness. 4．What does traditional opera mean to someone like Li Tao? A．A hobby to take up. B．A choice to kill time. C．A connection to hometown. 5．Which statement best reflects the value shared in the four passages? A．Health is wealth. B．Return to what really matters. C．Learning is a lifelong journey. Passage 5 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） A To stop sand from spreading, China built the world’s longest (3,046 km) green belt around its largest desert, the Taklimakan Desert. The green belt circles the desert, just like a beautiful “green scarf”. And thanks to the efforts of local people, its area has increased by593,400 hectares in just one year, and has well protected the surrounding areas from sand. B Dinosaur footprints, about 200 million years old, were discovered for the first time in Dujiangyan, Sichuan. Found on a rock wall by a hiker passing by, these footprints can help scientists learn more about early dinosaurs and ancient environments. Further research may tell us more about China’s dinosaur history. C Hundreds of uncommon dove trees have been discovered in southwest China’s Chongqing. This kind of tree is called the “giant panda of the plant world” because it dates back 60 million years and is endangered. The tree gets its name from its beautiful white flowers, which look like flying doves (鸽子). Scientists say this discovery will help us understand more about nature. D Imagine a world without bees! Years ago, many bees lost their natural living places in the terrible bushfires in Australia. To help them, Dr. Kit Prendergast and her team created 1,000 bee hotels using wood and bamboo. These simple homes have brought thousands of bees back. Thanks to their return, the plants nearby have grown well once more. 1．Which word can best describe the green belt in Passage a? A．Creative. B．Ancient. C．Useful. 2．Which is TRUE about the dinosaur footprints in Passage b? A．They never appeared in our country. B．They will provide great scientific value.

The story is about police officer Bai Ju and deputy county head Duojie. They fought against illegal hunting and mining. They worked hard to protect the weak ecosystem of the Sanjiangyuan area. Environmental protection is the most important part of the drama. It has crime, survival and family stories. The rangers (护林员) fought hunters and faced hard choices between making a living and protecting nature. Over 30 years, local people’s lives are closely connected with nature. ▲ It’s also what the drama wants to tell us. It is full of stress and warm human feelings. The production team filmed for 188 days in real places. They reproduced the beautiful views of the Hoh Xil area (可可西里). Yang Zi plays Bai Ju. She says this role is special for her. “Bai Ju found her own value at last. I hope the audience can feel the beauty and life that grows even in the coldest and farthest places,” she said. Zhang Xinwen from Qinghai’s TV administration says the drama shows Qinghai’s 30-year journey. It tells how the area went from ecological (生态的) danger to green recovery. It shows the fight against illegal hunting in Hoh Xil and the start of Sanjiangyuan National Park. The “life tree” that grows in frozen soil stands for the spirit of those who protect China’s environment. 1．What actions did Bai Ju and Duojie try to stop? A．Overfishing in lakes.

C．How to Fight Against Poaching. D．Beautiful Views of the Qinghai Plateau. Passage 7 (2026.四川省德阳市.二模) In today’s world, the relationship between humans and nature is more important than ever. As middle school students, we are not only part of society but also part of the natural world. Our daily life and studies are closely connected to the environment around us. Firstly, the air we breathe and the water we drink come from nature. If we pollute the air and water, we harm ourselves. Therefore, it is important to protect the environment by reducing waste and recycling. For example, we can use reusable bags instead of plastic ones and turn off lights when we leave a room. Secondly, nature provides us with resources (资源) for learning. Science classes often involve (涉及) studying plants, animals, and ecosystems. By understanding how nature works, we can better appreciate its value and learn how to protect it. Lastly, spending time in nature can improve our mental health. Studies show that being in green spaces can reduce stress and increase happiness. As students, we should take breaks from our busy plans to enjoy the outdoors, whether it’s a walk in the park or a hike in the mountains. In a word, living in harmony (和谐) with nature is the key to our well-being and future. If we do small things to protect the environment, we can make a healthier and better world for our children and later generations (后代). 1．What should we do to protect the environment according to the passage? A．Pollute the air and water. B．Reuse old things. C．Turn on lights all the time. D．Use plastic bags. 2．What does the underlined word “appreciate” probably mean in this passage? A．欣赏 B．崇拜 C．爱慕 D．感激 3．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage outdoor sports. B．To encourage students to study harder. C．To describe different types of pollution. D．To explain the importance of living in harmony with nature. 4．Where is this passage most likely to be found? A．In a cooking book. B．In a history book. C．In a science textbook. D．In a fashion magazine. 主题08 人与自然——航天与航空 Passage 1 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） Year Animals Specific information 1947 The US sent fruit flies into space on a V-2 rocket. They flew more than 100 km and returned safely. 1957 The Soviet Union sent Laika, the first dog in space, aboard Sputnik 2. Sadly, she died during the mission. 1963 A French cat named Félicitette became the first and only cat in space.

I’m in China’s Tiangong Space Station, about 400 kilometers above Earth! I’m not alone, though. I share my tiny “apartment” with two males and another female. Six Chinese astronauts take turns caring for us. Three of them—Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang—came up with us. Last night, we excitedly boarded the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft. The trip took just a little over three hours, and it was surprisingly smooth. As far as I know, this is already China’s 16th crewed spaceflight. However, for us mice, it’s a whole new world! The astronauts taught me some scientific knowledge here. That’s so amazing! In the 1,600s, Isaac Newton discovered that gravity (重力) depends on mass (质量) and distance. Bigger objects, like the sun, pull harder, and the further the object is from Earth, the less is the pull of gravity. However, the mass of an object remains the same. Also, the gravitational potential energy (重力势能) of an object depends on its mass and its height from the ground. When two objects have the same mass, the object that is at a greater height has more gravitational potential energy. However, if the two objects are at the same height, the object with a greater mass has more gravitational potential energy. Now, I’m aboard Tiangong. I plan to make every minute count. We’ll stay here for about a week. After that, we’ll fly back to Earth. Scientists will then study how our bodies may have changed. 1．When did the mice board the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft? A．On October 31st. B．On November 2nd. C．On November 8th. 2．What’s the topic of Paragraphs 1 and 2? A．My task after boarding the space station. B．My first trip experience in the space station. C．My imagination about living in the space station. 3．We do the experiment in such conditions: ①Ball A and Ball B are identical (完全一样); ②Ball B is at a greater height; ③The two ramps and the ground are equally (同样) smooth. The result: D1<D2. Why? A．Because Ball B has a greater mass. B．Because Ball A is heavier to stop it from moving. C．Because Ball B has more gravitational potential energy to make it move farther. 4．How does the mouse feel when it says “I plan to make every minute count”? A．“I’ll fall in love with counting time. It’s interesting.” B．“Every minute and second is important. I will value it.” C．“I can count. I know there are sixty minutes in an hour.” 5．Which part of a magazine may the text be taken from? A．Culture and tradition. B．Science and technology. C．Hobby and habit. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 阅读理解（单项选择） 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 (2026.四川省绵阳市.二模) The “Lobster (小龙虾)” Craze: A Look at New AI Technology In March 2026, a strange but widely discussed question—“Have you raised a lobster?”—swept across Chinese social media. Not about seafood, it actually talks about Open Claw — a new AI program with a bright red lobster picture. Many Internet users began to call the activity of downloading and using this tool “raising lobsters”, and soon it became popular across the country. Meanwhile, the 2026 Two Sessions (两会) included “building a new form of smart economy” in its government work report. This policy (政策) shows that AI is no longer just a fashionable idea, but a key driving force behind national development and social progress. However, the popularity of “raising lobsters” has also caused some problems. Some carelessly lost important files, while others got unexpected charges. Worse still, personal information was stolen and wrong operations were reported. All these remind us that smart technology is a double-edged sword. While it brings great convenience to our daily life, it may also lead to serious problems if we use it without care. As middle school students, we are expected to treat new technologies with a smart attitude. Instead of following the crowd blindly, we should improve our awareness of self-protection and learn to tell safe online behavior from risky ones. Technology is created to serve human beings and build a better world. Only by using AI wisely and responsibly, can we truly benefit from modern technology and stay safe in the digital age. 1．Why does the writer mention the question “Have you raised a lobster?”?

This smart program can do many things. It can solve math problems, write computer code, and even chat like people. DeepSeek-R1 is different from other AI models. It doesn’t need a lot of money to train. In fact, it was trained with very little money. DeepSeek-R1 learns by practicing a lot. The more it tries, the better it gets. A teacher in Thailand said, “It helps students learn more easily than before. It’s like having a smart helper in the classroom.” The AI is free for schools and small businesses. This means that even small villages without the internet can use it. However, DeepSeek-R1 is not perfect. It still has some problems. For example, sometimes it mixes up languages like French and Spanish. This means it might not always understand or speak these languages correctly. The team at DeepSeek is working hard to improve DeepSeek-R1. They want to fix these problems and make it even better. “We hope AI can connect people around the world and build bridges,” they said. DeepSeek-R1 shows that creativity and hard work can change the future. 1．What is DeepSeek-R1? A．A Chinese tech company. B．A new AI model made by DeepSeek. C．A math problem-solving book.

Let’s read four interesting stories about it. a Shenzhou-19 astronauts did China’s first fruit fly experiment in the Tiangong Space Station. Scientists choose fruit flies because they share similar genes (基因) with humans. They grow fast, so scientists can get clear study results in a short time. The experiment helps learn how space influences living things. It helps people know more about long-term space life for humans. b China’s space station has a new hot-air oven. Astronauts can now cook delicious food like chicken wings. In the past, space food was only ready-to-eat. The oven uses special technology to deal with smoke and oil. It keeps the space station safe and clean. With over 190 kinds of food, astronauts have healthy and tasty meals in space. c Special mice went to the Tiangong Space Station. It was China’s first space experiment on small mammals (哺乳动物). At first, there were 300 mice. After some strict tests, only 48 mice were kept. Then they took the final test. At last, two male mice and two female mice were chosen. Astronauts studied how space affected their bodies and genes. The study helped keep astronauts safe during long space trips. d Astronauts from Shenzhou-19 tested a new robot that can check pipes (管道) in the Chinese space station for the first time in the world. The space station has many pipes, but checking them is difficult and dangerous for astronauts. The smart robot can change its body size to go through different pipes. It is safe and can find problems easily. This great success shows China’s fast development in space technology. 1．Why do scientists choose fruit flies for the experiment? A．They can live long in space. B．They are similar to humans in genes. C．They help people know more about space. 2．What can astronauts do with the hot-air oven? A．Deal with smoke and oil. B．Cook delicious food. C．Enjoy ready-to-eat meals. 3．How did the scientists choose the mice for the space experiments? A．Picked 4 from 300 directly. B．Kept 48 first, then chose 4. C．Chose males first, then females. 4．According to passage d, what is difficult and dangerous for astronauts? A．Checking the pipes. B．Testing the pipe robots. C．Going through different pipes. 5．What do the four passages mainly talk about? A．China’s future space plans. B．The importance of space technology. C．Chinese achievements in space technology. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了中国天宫空间站的四个有趣故事，包括神舟-19宇航员进行的果蝇实验、空间站新的热空气烤箱、特殊小鼠的太空实验以及新型管道检查机器人的测试等，展现了太空实验情况、宇航员饮食改善以及太空技术发展等方面。 1．文中提到“Shenzhou-19 astronauts did China’s first fruit fly experiment in the Tiangong Space Station. Scientists choose fruit flies because they share similar genes (基因) with humans.”，可知是因为果蝇与人类基因相似，所以选B。 2．文中说“China’s space station has a new hot-air oven. Astronauts can now cook delicious food like chicken wings.”，即可以烹饪美味食物，如鸡翅，答案是B。 3．文中表述为“At first, there were 300 mice. After some strict tests, only 48 mice were kept. They took the final test. At last, two male mice and two female mice were chosen.”，先是300只老鼠，经过严格测试留下48只，最后选出2只雄性和2只雌性，也就是先从300只中选出48只，再从中选择，答案是B。 4．文中提到“the space station has many pipes, but checking them is difficult and dangerous for astronauts”，可知检查管道对宇航员来说困难且危险，答案是A。 5．文章分别介绍了中国宇航员在天宫空间站进行的果蝇实验、使用新烤箱、老鼠实验以及测试管道机器人等活动，整体围绕中国在太空技术方面的成果展开，答案是C。 Passage 4 (2026.四川成都市.二模） A new study has found that the brain goes through five clearly different stages between birth and death. Scientists have found the ages — 9, 32, 66, and 83 — when the way our brain cells connect with each other begins to change. The brain’s “teenage” stage lasts until age 32, they discovered. After that, it enters a period of relative calm until early aging begins at 66. Between 66 and 83, some parts of the brain form stronger groups, but they don’t connect as well with other groups. After 83, in the late aging stage, the connections between different brain areas start to break down. The brain then depends more on separate areas and a few heavily used pathways (路径) between them, said Alexa Mousley, a brain scientist at the University of Cambridge. She wants to know whether these changes in the brain make it more open to certain brain-related health problems. This is because there seems to be a bridge between the five stages and some common illnesses. For example, most autism diagnoses (自闭症诊断) happen in young children, up to 75% of mental health conditions begin by the time a person is in his/her early 20s, Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默) disease usually appears during the early aging stage. Heart health, staying socially connected, and exercise are all linked to better brain health as we age. It’s possible that these also play a role in how the brain rewires (重组) itself later in life. 1．According to the passage, until what age does the brain’s “teenage” stage last? A．9 years old B．32 years old C．66 years old 2．What happens to the brain during the late aging stage? A．Some brain areas form stronger groups. B．Different brain areas connect less strongly. C．The brain becomes more active than before. 3．When does Alzheimer’s disease usually appear according to the research? A．During the teenage stage B．During the late aging stage C．During the early aging stage 4．Which of the following is mentioned to help keep the brain healthy? A．Taking medicine B．Staying alone C．Doing exercise 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The brain’s self-development under any situation. B．The five different stages of the human brain with age. C．The connections between brain development and physical health. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文围绕大脑从出生到死亡经历的不同阶段展开讲述。 1．文中明确提到“The brain’s ‘teenage’ stage lasts until age 32, they discovered.”，意思是科学家发现大脑的“青少年”阶段持续到32岁。 2．根据“After 83, in the late aging stage, the connections between different brain areas start to break down. The brain then depends more on separate areas and a few heavily used pathways (分支) between them” 可知，83岁以后进入晚期衰老阶段，不同大脑区域之间的连接开始瓦解，也就是不同大脑区域之间的连接不那么紧密了。 3．文中提到“Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默) disease usually appears during the early aging stage.”，即阿尔茨海默病通常出现在早期衰老阶段。 4．文中说“Heart health, staying socially connected, and exercise are all linked to better brain health as we age.”，意思是心脏健康、保持社交联系和锻炼都与随着年龄增长更好的大脑健康有关，所以做运动有助于保持大脑健康。 5．文章开篇就指出 “A new study has found that the brain goes through five clearly different stages between birth and death.”，即一项新研究发现大脑在出生到死亡之间会经历五个明显不同的阶段，后面围绕这五个阶段展开描述，包括每个阶段大脑的变化以及与一些疾病的关系等，所以最佳标题是The five different stages of the human brain with age。 主题02 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 （2026.四川德阳市.二模) When is bedtime? If you don’t have a phone or a watch, don’t worry. Every living thing has a built-in clock that follows the sun. For a long time, people thought daylight told animals when to rise or rest. When it’s light, rise. When it’s dark, rest. But in 1729, a French scientist tested this with a mimosa (含羞草) plant. The plant’s leaves folded up at night, but when he put it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still folded and unfolded as usual. He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night. This clock is called the daily cycle (日循环). Daily cycles tell our bodies when to sleep, eat, and grow. They even help animals know when to move or rest for the season. These clocks help living things follow the sun’s light. Humans have a special light sensor (传感器) at the back of the eyes. These help send a message when it’s bright or getting dark. The daily circle then sends “wake up” or “sleep” signals (信号). This sensor helps reset (重置) our body’s clock. That’s why when you travel to different places, you feel tired at first. Your body’s clock doesn’t match the local time, but soon, sunlight and darkness help reset it. So, don’t worry about missing your watch — your inner (内部的) clock runs on sun time. 1．What does the underlined word “built-in clock” probably mean? A．A clock you make by yourself. B．A clock you buy from a shop. C．A clock that runs with sunlight. D．A clock inside living things’ bodies. 2．What happened to the mimosa in the dark cupboard? A．Its leaves turned yellow quickly. B．Its leaves stopped moving completely. C．Its leaves only folded but never unfolded. D．Its leaves still opened and closed as usual. 3．Where is the special light sensor in humans? A．At the back of the eyes. B．Inside the brain center. C．At the back of the ears. D．In the heart and blood. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Sunlight tells animals when to get up and sleep. B．People feel tired when they travel to new places. C．All living things have a clock inside their bodies. D．Plants can open and close their leaves every day. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了所有生物体内都存在“内置时钟”（日循环），它能调节生物的作息，也解释了人类体内的感光传感器如何重置生物钟。 1．根据第二段“He realized that living things have a tiny clock inside them that measures day and night.”可知，“built-in clock”指的是生物体内的时钟。 2．根据第二段“when he put it in a dark cupboard, the leaves still folded and unfolded as usual.”可知，即使在黑暗中，含羞草的叶子仍像往常一样开合。 3．根据第四段“Humans have a special light sensor at the back of the eyes.”可知，人类的感光传感器在眼睛后部。 4．全文围绕“Every living thing has a built-in clock that follows the sun.”展开，通过含羞草实验和人类生物钟的例子，说明这一机制如何调节生物的作息。 Passage 2 （2026.四川省南充市.二模） We do everything in a hurry—finishing our meals, completing our tasks, running to the gym... We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, checking off tasks on our to-do lists. ▲ Our way of thinking that is focused on speed values doing more over doing things well. For a long time, we have believed that speed means being productive and successful, and therefore, we keep rushing here and there in doing everything. Yet from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Program, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief (理念) finally spread from the Slow Food Program to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量). Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living encourages us to live each moment whole-heartedly and give everything the time it needs, rather than try to do as many things as possible in every minute of our lives. Today, more people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement, thanks to social media sharing the many benefits of living slowly. 1．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．There is so much for us to do every day. B．There is nothing for them to do every day. C．Living slowly feels like we are always enjoying time. D．Living in a rush feels like we are always pressed for time. 2．What is probably the topic of paragraph 3? A．The belief of the Slow Movement. B．The answer to the Slow Movement. C．The beginning of our predicament. D．The idea of the Slow Food Program. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Endless rush. B．Slow living. C．Each moment. D．Everything. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．Most of us have control of time. B．No people enjoys preparing food. C．Cittaslow focused on slow living.

It is a traditional rotating (旋转的) lantern. It is an early example of ancient people using heat science in daily life. It works through air convection (对流). First, the hot air from a burning candle inside rises up and drives a small wheel to turn around. Then, the paper cuttings on it reflect lively shadows on the outer cover of the lantern. Its clever method is still used in many modern industries today. Zanhuawei is a traditional flower head wear from a small fishing village in Fujian. It shows the special hand-woven (编织) skill of the local women. They can fix a whole circle of fresh flowers on their hair perfectly only with fishing lines. Worn by local hard-working women for over a thousand years, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in 2008. An old local saying goes, “Put flowers in your hair in this life, and you’ll be pretty in the afterlife.” The flowers not only make local women look beautiful, but also stand for their wish for a happy life. The mortise-and-tenon join (榫卯结构) is the most important part of traditional Chinese wooden building art and skills. It lets wooden parts fit together perfectly without nails , making buildings both strong and not easy to fall down. It is able to bend (弯曲) a little without breaking to stand through earthquakes. This amazing special skill has a 7,000-year history, and is widely used in palaces, temples and folk houses across China. 1．What makes the Zou Ma Deng’s wheel turn around? A．The burning candle outside the lantern. B．The rising hot air from the candle inside. C．The moving shadows on the outer cover of the lantern. 2．What can we learn about Zanhuawei according to the passage?

People in the village respected him because he always gave good advice. One day, a young man named Tom visited Leo and complained about his life. He felt that everything was difficult, and he was often unhappy. Leo listened to Tom’s problems and invited him to take a walk to a nearby river. When they arrived, Leo gave Tom a handful of salt and asked Tom to put it in the river. Tom did as Leo asked. Then, Leo asked Tom to drink some water from the river. Tom drank, and the water tasted fresh. Next, Leo handed Tom another handful of salt and asked Tom to put it in a glass of water. Tom did so and then took a sip. This time, the water tasted very salty, and he couldn’t drink it. Leo smiled and said, “The salt is like the difficulties in life. When you put it in a river, it seems small. But when you put it in a glass, it seems large. If you see your problems from a wider perspective, they will not feel so overwhelming.” Tom left, feeling calmer and grateful for the wise old man’s lesson.

Cranes have very long necks and their necks are black. That’s why they are called black-necked cranes. Cranes travel very far every year. They spend about 5 months on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (青藏高原). ②Starting in March, black-necked cranes will fly back to Qinghai. There are lakes and marshes (沼泽), perfect for them to live in. Year after year, black-necked cranes may fly to other places, but they always come back to the plateau areas. ③Their life is harsh, because they do not have enough food and the weather changes very often. Black-necked cranes have a very small population. They are under first-level state protection in China. Local people treat the birds with love. In local tradition, they are a symbol of good luck, so they are very popular. ④It is not hard to get along with the wild animals. Just give them a little more space. They can have a bigger chance to thrive (兴旺). People in Qinghai are working very hard to make sure the black-necked cranes live better. 1．How long do the cranes spend on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau? A．About 3 months. B．About 4 months. C．About 5 months. D．About 6 months. 2．Which are the perfect places for black-necked cranes to live in? A．Forests. B．Rivers. C．Mountains. D．Lakes and marshes. 3．What does the underlined word “harsh” mean in Paragraph 3? (Paragraph 1=①...) A．Hard. B．Basic. C．Normal D．Relaxing. 4．Why do local people love the birds?

A．People will hurt black-necked cranes. B．There will be more black-necked cranes. C．Black-necked cranes will not come back. D．The city will be a home for black-necked cranes. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文介绍黑颈鹤的栖息地点、生活习性、生存困境，以及当地民众保护黑颈鹤的相关行动。 1．第一段介绍：“They spend about 5 months on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau”，黑颈鹤在青藏高原生活约五个月。 2．第二段描述：“There are lakes and marshes, perfect for them to live in”，指出湖泊与沼泽是最适合黑颈鹤栖息生活的场所。 3．第三段交代：“because they do not have enough food and the weather changes very often”，食物匮乏、天气多变能体现生存条件艰难，由此可推断harsh含义为“艰难的”，与hard同义。 4．第三段说明：“In local tradition, they are a symbol of good luck, so they are very popular”，可知当地因黑颈鹤是吉祥的象征而喜爱它们。 5．第四段阐述：“People in Qinghai are working very hard to make sure the black-necked cranes live better”，青海民众尽力保护黑颈鹤、改善生存环境，可推知未来黑颈鹤数量会增多。 Passage 2 (2026.四川成都市.二模） Rainforests are home to many kinds of plants, birds and animals. Can you believe that a small group of bushes in the Amazon may have more types of ants than all of Britain? About 480 kinds of trees can be found in just 10,000 square meters of rainforest. Rainforests are the “lungs of the Earth”. They breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 for all living things. They have their own ways to stay alive—tall trees form a top layer of leaves and branches, protecting themselves, small plants and animals from heavy rain, strong heat and strong winds. Surprisingly, the trees grow in a special way. Although their leaves and branches are close to each other, they never really touch those of other trees. Scientists think this can help stop tree illnesses from spreading and make it difficult for leaf-eating insects to live. To live in the forest, animals have to climb, jump or fly across these spaces. Different from what we see in films, the ground of the rainforest is not full of thick leaves and bushes. It is quite clear. Dead leaves turn into food for trees and other living things there. Rainforests can make 75% of their own rain. Every year, the rain is usually about 2032 mm, and in some places, it can be as much as 10922 mm. Such heavy rain can make small rivers rise about 3 to 6 meters in only two hours. The wet air in rainforests also helps make rain clouds for other countries that need rain. 1．Why are rainforests called the “lungs of the Earth”? A．Because they have many tall trees. B．Because they give homes to many animals. C．Because they take in CO2 and make O2 for the world. 2．How does the top layer of tall trees help the rainforest? A．It stops trees from touching each other. B．It protects living things there from bad weather. C．It provides enough living space for leaf-eating insects. 3．Why don’t the branches and leaves of different trees touch each other? A．To help animals jump across the spaces. B．To make leaf-eating insects live more easily. C．To help stop tree illnesses and harmful insects. 4．What can we learn about rainforests in the last paragraph? A．They need much rain from other places. B．The wet air from them helps other countries. C．Heavy rain in rainforests is bad for small rivers. 5．Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A．Nature. B．Life. C．Science. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇关于雨林的科普说明文。文章主要介绍了雨林中丰富的生物多样性、它们作为“地球之肺”的重要作用、树木独特的生长方式、雨林地面的真实状况，以及雨林对全球降雨和气候的调节功能。 1．根据第二段中“Rainforests are the ‘lungs of the Earth’. They breathe in CO2 and breathe out O2 for all living things.”可知，雨林被称为地球之肺是因为它们能吸收二氧化碳并制造氧气。 2．根据第二段中“tall trees form a top layer of leaves and branches, protecting themselves, small plants and animals from heavy rain, strong heat and strong winds.”可知，顶层的树木枝叶可以保护那里的生物免受恶劣天气的伤害。 3．根据第三段中“Scientists think this can help stop tree illnesses from spreading and make it difficult for leaf-eating insects to live.”可知，不同树木的枝叶互不触碰是为了防止疾病传播和抵御害虫。 4．根据最后一段中“The wet air in rainforests also helps make rain clouds for other countries that need rain.”可知，雨林产生的湿润空气还能为那些需要降雨的其他国家形成雨云。 5．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了雨林的自然环境、生态系统以及其对地球气候的影响，属于自然科学的范畴。因此，这篇文章最可能出现在报纸的“自然（Nature）”版块。 Passage 3 (2026.四川省南充市.二模） Have you ever wondered whether bamboo is a tree or a kind of grass? It is a kind of grass in the science of plants. Bamboo is really a wonder of nature. This fast-growing plant can be seen everywhere and is widely used. Bamboo has got many advantages, leading to its common uses for thousands of years. Bamboo is often used to produce daily products, such as chairs, beds and tables. What’s more, bamboo can be made into a kind of material for clothes. Bamboo can even be used as an excellent building material because it grows fast and it is strong. Bamboo is easy to decay (腐烂), so people have to add chemicals to make bamboo-based materials (竹基材料) stay for a long time. But these chemicals are bad for the environment. Chinese scientists have kept improving technologies to deal with this disadvantage. Here is a good example. In 2016, a Chinese research team in Nanjing began to work on new bamboo technologies. Later, the team succeeded in developing a new bamboo technology. The new technology is a heat treatment. This treatment moves decay-causing matters out of bamboo without adding chemicals that are harmful to the environment. At the same time, the structure (结构) of bamboo is well kept. As a result, new bamboo-based materials were produced and chosen as an excellent building material to build the scenic platforms (观景平台) of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge—the world’s largest sea-cross bridge. Since the new bamboo-based materials were used on the platforms, they have stood sunlight, seawater and even the natural disasters. Now, the scenic platforms still remain as strong as ever. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By giving an example. C．By telling a joke. D．By making up a story. 2．Which of the following is the advantage of bamboo? A．It grows slowly. B．It is strong. C．It is easy to decay. D．Its structure is badly kept. 3．Which of the following is TRUE about the new bamboo technology? A．It is a kind of heat treatment. B．It needs to add harmful chemicals. C．It changes bamboo’s structure greatly. D．It was developed by a Hong Kong team. 4．Where can we read this passage probably? A．In a novel. B．In a poster. C．In a science book. D．In a food newspaper. 5．Which of the following might be the ending sentence for the passage? A．Sadly, bamboo plants die after flowering. B．Many daily products are made of bamboo. C．Some kinds of bamboo are harmful to the environment. D．Bamboo will play a more important role in people’s life. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了竹子的属性、用途与易腐缺陷，讲述中国研发的新型无公害竹子处理技术及其成功应用，看好其未来前景。 1．原文第一句“Have you ever wondered whether bamboo is a tree or a kind of grass?”，作者以一个问题引出话题，因此是通过提问开篇。 2．原文第二段“Bamboo can even be used as an excellent building material because it grows fast and it is strong”，“长得结实”是竹子的优点。 3．原文第四段“The new technology is a heat treatment”，新技术是热处理。 4．本文介绍竹子的属性、用途，还讲解了新型竹材料技术，属于科普内容，最可能出现在科学读物中。 5．本文讲了竹子的价值，还介绍了新技术解决了竹子的传统缺陷、新型竹材料已经成功应用在超级工程中，结尾顺理成章会展望竹子的应用前景，D选项“竹子会在人们的生活中发挥更重要的作用”符合逻辑。 主题01 人与社会——科学与技术 Passage 1 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） The word “demure” is old—it describes a quiet, polite person but it’s popular again on TikTok, a social media platform. Young people use it to describe everything, often with a sense of humor. TikTok is changing what words young people use. New words are coming out every day. “Skibidi” comes from a meme of a singing head in a toilet. “Skibidi” can mean “cool” or “very,” depending on how you use it. Besides, everyday expressions are given new “clothes”: Gen Z says “yapping” instead of “talking” and turns “beautiful” into “gyatt”. “ ▲ Each year, at least 100 English words are created or given new meanings,” says Benjamin, a language expert from King’s College London. What caused such change? The reason is closely connected with social media users. Most TikTok users are young people. They create new words to set themselves apart from adults. Fan groups like kpopfans and booktokers also create their own expressions. This speeds up how language changes. Although the new words win the heart of young people, and they show the liveliness of a language, they give a headache to dictionary makers. Dictionary makers find it hard to keep up. They add a word only after people have used it for years. They also require the word to have a stable (稳定的) meaning and be used across different social groups, not just in online communities. That process is too slow for modern talk. For example, “rizz” (meaning cool) became popular online in 2023, but it hasn’t been updated (更新) in the dictionary yet. TikTok has the perfect word for such a slow move: very demure. 1．Which of the following matches is correct? A．①-b    ②-c    ③-a B．①-c    ②-a    ③-b C．①-c    ②-b    ③-a 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The meme. B．The word “Skibidi”. C．A singing head. 3．Which can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．On social media, words change fast. B．On TikTok, language develops slowly. C．On social media, words are spread everywhere. 4．Why do dictionary makers find it hard to keep up with the changing language? A．Because they have some requirements for adding new words. B．Because they can’t add words that are from social media platforms. C．Because they update the dictionary faster than the speed of language change. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The slow updating speed of dictionaries. B．The return of old English words on TikTok. C．TikTok’s big influence on young people’s use of words. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍的是TikTok对年轻人用词的重大影响。 【详解】68．根据文中“‘yapping’ instead of ‘talking’”可知“yapping”对应说话的场景，即图b；“‘rizz’ (meaning cool)”，图a中人物戴着墨镜很“酷”，所以“rizz”对应图a；“‘demure’ ... describes a quiet, polite person”，图c中女士看起来文静、有礼貌，所以“demure”对应图c。所以①-c，②-a，③-b。 1．根据前文“‘Skibidi’ comes from a meme of a singing head in a toilet. ‘Skibidi’ can mean ‘cool’ or ‘very’”可知，这里it指代的是“Skibidi”这个词。 2．空处后面提到每年至少有100个英语单词被创造或赋予新意义，说明在社交媒体上，词汇变化很快。A选项“On social media, words change fast.”符合语境。 3．根据第四段“Dictionary makers find it hard to keep up. They add a word only after people have used it for years. They also require the word to have a stable (稳定的) meaning and be used across different social groups, not just in online communities.”可知，词典编纂者发现很难跟上变化是因为他们对添加新单词有一些要求，比如使用年限、稳定意义和跨群体使用等。 4．文章主要围绕TikTok对年轻人用词的影响展开，介绍了TikTok上出现的新词汇以及这些词汇的特点，还有对词典编纂带来的挑战等。 Passage 2 (2026.四川成都市.模拟) Jobs soon to be history Jobs in the future 1.

These shared bikes all use Beidou-based positioning chips (芯片). The chips have high quality. They can deal with information accurately and quickly. They feature low power consumption. They provide a better user experience and easier management for the local companies. Now, several new models of shared electric bikes with Beidou-based chips have also started to be produced and put into the market. Besides positioning and navigation, the chips will help users and bike companies record user speed and battery condition of an electric bike. The possible crimes during the bike usage will also be recorded. In fact, years ago, shared bike companies began to use positioning chips which worked well with both GPS and Beidou services. After the Beidou system became fully in use in the summer of 2020, shared bike companies started installing Beidou-based chips on more bikes in more areas. The latest chips which are popular with bike companies are smaller and have more advantages over the old types. Since 2000, a total of 59 Beidou satellites have been lifted from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. After the final satellite was lifted in 2020, the system was completed and started providing global services. Beidou Satellite System is designed and developed by China and it is one of the four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. According to research in 2022, by the end of 2021, the total value connected with satellite navigation and positioning services in China was 469 billion yuan, a 16.3-percent increase year on year.

In Yunnan, China, a factory makes special rice from potatoes. The factory uses new technology to change potatoes into small rice-like pieces. China is one of the largest potato producers in the world. Potatoes, as well as wheat, rice and corn, are among the most important crops in China. However, potatoes have much water inside. If the correct ways can’t be found to keep them, they will go bad easily. It leads to tons of waste. Potato rice technology can help keep potatoes longer and reduce waste. There are many advantages of potato rice. First, it keeps 90% of potato nutrition (营养) and has 27% more protein (蛋白质) than normal rice. Second, it hardly raises blood sugar. Speaking of buying rice, it is usually the first choice for people who want to control their blood sugar. What’s more, it’s easy to cook because there is no need to wash it. When people cook it, they can use less water. Potato rice cooks faster than normal rice. However, every coin has two sides. Although potato rice has entered the market, it still has a long way to go. Potato rice is much more expensive than normal rice because the factory needs 2.5 tons of potatoes to produce 1 ton of potato rice. It costs 33 yuan every kilo, but normal rice costs only 4-6 yuan every kilo. Experts say that future research will pay more attention to reducing the costs and improving the taste. 1．What is the special rice made from? A．Wheat. B．Potatoes. C．Tomatoes. D．Corn. 2．Who will most probably buy potato rice according to the passage? A．People who are losing weight. B．People with high blood sugar. C．People who like eating potatoes. D．People with good cooking skills. 3．How is potato rice different from normal rice? A．It is cheaper. B．It needn’t be washed. C．It has 90% more protein. D．It needs more water when cooking. 4．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To learn about a factory in Yunnan. B．To talk about the price of potato rice.

It’s all around us, making our world more beautiful and convenient. Math in Poems In Chinese poems, the numbers give us the freedom to imagine. As Li Bai wrote, “I’ve sailed a thousand miles through Gorges in a day”, “My boat has left ten thousand mountains far away”, “The waterfall rushes down three thousand feet from high”. These numbers show what Li Bai saw and how he felt. When we read the lines, there are pictures in our mind. Math in Paintings Art and math might seem different, but together they create wonderful works! Some studies show that when Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa, he followed a special math rule called the “golden ratio” (黄金比例). The ratio was hidden in different parts of the painting, like the size of the canvas (画布), the face of the lady and the background behind her. This makes the painting beautiful and impressive (给人印象深刻的). Math in Traffic How do traffic lights “know” when to change? Traffic engineers use traffic flow (流动) models, a kind of model, to help cars move smoothly. They collect plenty of data (数据) like how many cars pass by, when people cross the street, busy times of a day and special events in the city. With these models, engineers can do lots of math and run many tests to study how the traffic moves better. This allows them to find the best timing for each traffic light. It makes our city green, smart and livable! Math makes our lives better and helps us understand the world in many surprising ways! 1．What do the numbers in Li Bai’s poems show? A．His imagination in the poems. B．His hometown and family. C．His jobs and working places. D．His experiences and feelings. 2．What does the underlined word “This” refer to? A．The canvas. B．The background. C．The golden ratio. D．The face of the lady. 3．How do engineers find the best timing for traffic lights? A．They control the number of cars on the road. B．They deal with traffic data with a math model. C．They count cars every day to change the timing. D．They watch the traffic lights’ time to change the time. 4．How does the writer develop the text? A．By listing numbers and choices. B．By giving opinions and examples. C．By describing problems and solutions. D．By asking questions and doing research. 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．The Beauty of Math B．The History of Poems C．The Difficulty of Math D．The Development of Paintings 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，分别从诗歌、绘画、交通三个方面举例说明数学让世界更美好、更便利，还能以多种奇妙方式帮助人们理解世界。 【详解】 1．根据文章第二段“these numbers show what Li Bai saw and how he felt”可知，李白诗中的数字反映了他的经历和感受。 2．根据文章第三段“The ratio was hidden in different parts of the painting, like the size of the canvas, the face of the lady and the background behind her. This makes the painting beautiful and impressive”可知，前文提及黄金比例藏在画作的各个部分，后文中的This指代前文的黄金比例，正是它让画作优美且令人印象深刻。 3．根据文章第四段“Traffic engineers use traffic flow models… They collect plenty of data… With these models, engineers can do lots of math and run many tests to study how the traffic moves better. This allows them to find the best timing for each traffic light”可知，工程师是通过数学模型处理交通数据来找到最佳信号灯时机的。 4．作者先提出“Math isn’t just numbers in textbooks. It’s all around us, making our world more beautiful and convenient”的观点，再分别从诗歌Math in poems、绘画Math in Paintings、交通Math in Traffic三个方面举例论证，因此作者是通过提出观点并举例的方式来展开文章的。 5．根据文章首句“Math isn’t just numbers in textbooks. It’s all around us, making our world more beautiful and convenient”和尾段“Math makes our lives better and helps us understand the world in many surprising ways!”及全文举例内容可知，文章首尾段均强调数学让生活更美好、帮助理解世界，中间段落展示了数学在诗歌、艺术、交通中的美妙应用。因此最佳标题应体现数学的美与价值。 Passage 2 (2026.绵阳市涪城区.二诊) What can trees tell us about climate change? Trees are essentially nature’s data scientists. Without Wi-Fi, they have been recording environmental data for thousands of years. Here is how these woody historians tell us the story of our changing planet. First Year Growth Ring: You may find that the top of the stump (树桩) has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. Tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought (干旱), the tree might hardly grow at all in those years. Earlywood (Light color): Grows quickly in the spring when water is plentiful. Latewood (Dark color): Grows more slowly in the late summer and autumn as conditions become harsher. One light ring and one dark ring make one year of the tree’s life. Fire Scar:The fire leaves a “scar” in the ring of that year. An increase in fire scars in recent rings tells us the land is becoming drier and flammable (易燃的). 1．According to the poster, which part of a tree can record the climate? A．Its roots. B．Its leaves. C．Its rings. D．Its branches. 2．How old is the tree in the poster? A．About 13 years old. B．About 17 years old. C．About 19 years old. D．About 22 years old. 3．Which of the following stumps lived in a warmer and wetter place? A． B． C． D． 4．If a tree has many fire scars in recent years, which is most likely true? A．People started to protect the forest. B．The forest was very safe and green. C．The area faced more fire challenges. D．The weather was the wettest in history. 5．Where might you probably see this poster? A．At a bus station. B．In someone’s backyard. C．On a website about the climate. D．In a report on the data recording. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了树木年轮如何记录气候变化，包括年轮的宽窄与天气的关系、早材与晚材的区别以及火疤的指示意义。 1．图中“Ring”部分指出：“These rings can tell us...what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life.”，说明树木的年轮可以记录气候。 2．图片中的树桩显示了约13个年轮，说明树龄约为13年。 3．“Ring”部分指出：“Tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years”，说明温暖湿润的年份年轮更宽。图片D的年轮宽度远大于其他选项，符合这一特征。 4．图中“Fire Scar”部分指出：“An increase in fire scars in recent rings tells us the land is becoming drier and flammable.”，说明火疤增多意味着土地变得更加干燥且易燃，则该地区面临更多的火灾挑战。 5．本文介绍了树木年轮与气候的关系，属于气候科普类内容，最可能出现在“关于气候的网站”上。 Passage 3 (2026.四川省成都市.模拟） Today, modern medical knowledge helps doctors stop germs (病菌) from spreading quickly. Simple ways like covering our mouths when coughing and washing hands often are common healthy habits. But people did not always know these things. For hundreds of years, even doctors did not understand how sickness spread. When they looked after very sick people, they used different ways to stay safe, including some strange clothes. In 1619, a French doctor named Charles de Lorme made a special suit for doctors treating people with plague (瘟疫). The suit had a long coat, gloves, boots and a hat. Doctors also used sticks so they would not touch patients with their own hands. The most special part was a mask that looked like a bird, with a long beak, glass for eyes and small holes for the nose. So the suit was also called bird-like uniform. At that time, doctors thought bad air caused plague. So they put flowers inside the beak to keep bad air away. But flowers could not stop germs, and many doctors still became ill. Still, the coat, gloves, boots and bat helped protect doctors from plague carried by animals such as mice. Later, people learned more about germs and stopped using these bird-like uniforms. Though some early suits were strange and uncomfortable, they became an important part of medical history. Modern doctors wear simple, clean and safe clothes that protect both doctors and patients when there is a plague. This shows how much doctors’ protective clothes have improved over time. 1．What did French doctor Charles de Lorme create in 1619? A．A special uniform for doctors. B．A kind of glasses for looking cool. C．New medicine for the patients with plague. 2．Why did doctors put flowers in the bird-like mask? A．To help patients breathe more easily. B．To keep out the bad air they thought. C．To make the mask look very beautiful. 3．What do modern doctors wear as protective clothes when there is a plague? A．Long coats, gloves, boots and hats with sticks. B．Bird-like masks with long beaks and flowers inside. C．Simple, clean and safe clothes that protect both doctors and patients. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How people stop germs from spreading today. B．How doctors’ protective clothes have progressed. C．How French doctors fought against the plague successfully. 5．What do you think of the process of the creation in the article? A．It is useless at first. B．It is easy and quick. C．It is hard but meaningful. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了从古代到现代医生防护服装的演变，介绍了17世纪法国医生发明的“鸟形防护服”，并对比了现代防疫防护服，展现了医疗防护装备的进步。 1．原文第二段明确指出“In 1619, a French doctor named Charles de Lorme made a special suit for doctors treating people with plague.”，即这位法国医生在1619年为治疗瘟疫的医生制作了一套特殊的防护服（uniform）。 2．原文第三段提到“At that time, doctors thought bad air caused plague. So they put flowers inside the beak to keep bad air away.”，说明当时医生认为“坏空气”导致瘟疫，所以在鸟形面具的喙里放花是为了阻挡他们认为的“坏空气”， 3．原文最后一段指出“Modern doctors wear simple, clean and safe clothes that protect both doctors and patients when there is a plague.”，即现代医生在瘟疫期间会穿着简单、干净、安全的衣物来保护医生和患者。 4．文章从17世纪的“鸟形防护服”讲到现代的防疫服，最后一句“This shows how much doctors’ protective clothes have improved over time.”点明主旨，即医生防护服装的发展历程。 5．文章提到早期防护服虽有缺陷（无法阻挡病菌），但为后世提供了借鉴，逐步发展为现代安全的防护服，体现出这是一个缓慢且逐步进步的过程，符合医疗防护技术发展的逻辑。 主题03 人与社会——传统文化 Passage 1 (2026.四川省广元市.二模） Young Inventors Challenge (YIC) Our invention competition encourages students to work as a team to find new ways to solve today’s problems.

Dong loved going into the workshop and hearing his grandfather talk about the puppets. Grandfather told Dong the puppet figures (人物) were made from thin leather (皮革). Once the puppets were made, they were put onto sticks which were put onto the neck of the puppet that helped it to move. The puppets were painted in very bright colors so that the shadows they made were very colorful. Dong was very proud of the day when Grandfather let him make his own puppet. Dong made a soldier and painted his face red to show how brave he was. Grandfather was satisfied with Dong’s work. He thought that Dong would be a very good puppet-maker one day. Grandfather then told Dong some strange things. He told Dong always to remember to take his puppet’s head off at night because the puppets came alive at night if their heads were left on. Dong did what his grandfather said to him. But one night he forgot... Dong was fast asleep when he felt a tap on his shoulder. He woke up and was surprised to see his soldier puppet standing next to him. His heart beat fast and he held his breath. The puppet moved his hand to show that Dong should follow. Dong was curious, and he followed the puppet happily. They went into Grandfather’s workshop and there were all the other puppets, alive and waiting for them. Lucky Dong, the puppets put on a puppet show just for him. At last he understood how a shadow play (皮影戏) worked. The puppets performed in front of a white screen that had light shining onto it. As the puppets moved, their shadows fell onto the screen and told the stories. They were all wonderful! Suddenly they heard Grandfather moving about in his room. Dong realized that the sun had begun to come up. The puppets all went back to their boxes and lay very still. Grandfather could not understand why Dong was so tired that day. Only Dong knew, and he would remember his special puppet show for the rest of his life. 1．Which is the correct step to make puppets? A．Use thick leather for figures. B．Fix sticks onto the neck. C．Paint in dark colors. 2．How did Dong feel when he followed the puppet? A．Excited. B．Regretful. C．Scared. 3．What did Dong find when he entered the workshop?

A．He trusted Dong would be a puppet actor. B．He wanted to pass down the puppet-making skills. C．He believed the puppets were just common toys. 5．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To teach readers how to make puppets. B．To explain the history of shadow play. C．To tell an interesting story about puppets. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Dong Lin的爷爷是皮影戏制作人，Dong跟着爷爷学习制作皮影，一次偶然的机会他忘记取下皮影的头，在夜里看到皮影们为他表演了一场特别的皮影戏的故事。 1．原文第二段提到“Grandfather told Dong the puppet figures were made from thin leather. Once the puppets were made, they were put onto sticks which were put onto the neck of the puppet that helped it to move. The puppets were painted in very bright colors...”，由此可知制作皮影的正确步骤包括把木棍固定在皮影的脖子上，其他选项的表述均与原文不符。 2．原文第五段提到“Dong was curious, and he followed the puppet happily.”，由此可知Dong跟着皮影走时的心情是开心的。 3．原文第五段提到“They went into Grandfather’s workshop and there were all the other puppets, alive and waiting for them. Lucky Dong, the puppets put on a puppet show just for him.”，由此可知Dong进入工作室时，皮影们正在为他表演节目。 4．原文第三段提到“Grandfather was satisfied with Dong’s work. He thought that Dong would be a very good puppet-maker one day.”，由此可以推断出爷爷想要把皮影制作技艺传承下去。 5．全文围绕Dong和爷爷的皮影故事展开，讲述了Dong制作皮影、忘记取下皮影头后看到皮影表演的奇妙经历，因此作者的写作目的是讲述一个关于皮影的有趣故事。 Passage 4 (2026.四川省德阳市.二模) There was an old Chinese story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. The Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed, silk became so important that the trade road from China to Europe got its name—the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟), you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something special. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation (合作) and exchange in history. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China? A．Leizu. B．The traders. C．Zhang Qian. D．The Yellow Emperor. 2．What was spread from China to the West according to paragraph 3? A．Silk and gold. B．Tea and paper-making. C．Spices and silver. D．New ideas of science. 3．What is the right order of the following facts from the passage? ① Zhang Qian travelled west with silk. ② Art and language were shared along the Silk Road. ③ Traders from China and the West exchanged things. ④ The Chinese kept the secret of making silk. A．①→④→③→② B．①→③→④→② C．④→①→③→② D．④→③→②→① 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．More than Silk. B．The History of World Trade. C．From Cocoons to Cloth. D．Making Friends through Trading. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了丝绸的起源，介绍了丝绸之路的由来、贸易往来以及其在文化交流、文明互鉴方面的重要意义。 【详解】 1．第一段指出：“People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor”，说明中国古代是嫘祖发明了丝绸。 2.第三段举例：“Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West”，同时前文提到中国向外售卖茶，因此茶和造纸术从中国传到西方。 3．梳理文章顺序：首先“④中国人保守丝绸制作的秘密”，接着“①张骞带着丝绸西行”，然后“③中外商人交换物品”，最后“②艺术和语言沿丝绸之路传播”，顺序为④→①→③→②。 4．全文先讲丝绸起源，再介绍丝绸之路的贸易、文化交流，不局限于丝绸本身，因此标题选“More than Silk”（不止是丝绸）。 主题03 人与自我——小故事大道理 Passage 1 (2026.四川成都市.二模） Three teenagers did some voluntary work during the school holidays.

Like warm lights in the city, these cabinets give free fresh food to people in need all day and all night. This project started in May 2022. The government leads it. Companies give food for free. So far, there are 22 smart cabinets in Futian. They have safe food like bread, fruit and vegetables. There is a nice activity called “veteran steamed buns (馒头)”. An old soldier uses his own money to make buns for people. It has become a very warm part of this project. Most of the food comes from 87 shops and companies. Companies that give food can get tax (税) cuts and public thanks. This makes more people want to join. They give extra food, or expired food that is almost out of date but still safe to eat. The project has easy rules: poor families, disabled people and cleaners can book free food on the “i Shenzhen” App before 8 p.m. Everyone can take the leftover food after 8 p.m. This helps stop food waste. Over the past 3.5 years, this project has helped 484, 000 people. It has saved 195 tons of food from being thrown away. It has also cut about 390 tons of waste gas. This is not just giving out food.

D．To show how popular the “i Shenzhen” App is among people. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍深圳福田区24小时智能爱心食物柜公益项目，讲述其运营模式、领取规则、帮扶成效，该项目既帮扶困难人群、减少食物浪费，还美化社区、助力环保，彰显城市温情。 【详解】1．根据文章第二段最后一句“It has become a very warm part of this project.”可知，这句话指代的是前文提到的“veteran steamed buns”活动，因此它是该项目中温暖的一部分。 2．根据第三段划线词后的定语从句“that is almost out of date but still safe to eat”可知，expired在此处的意思是“到期的”。 3．根据第四段第一句“poor families, disabled people and cleaners can book free food on the ‘i Shenzhen’ App before 8 p.m.”可知，特定人群（贫困家庭、残疾人及清洁工）可以在晚上8点前通过App预约免费食物。 4．文章最后一段列举了帮助人数（484,000 人）、节约食物量（195 吨）和减少废气量（390 吨）等具体数据，旨在用事实和数据证明该食物银行项目取得了巨大的成效。 Passage 3 (2026.四川省绵阳市.二模） In a huge, burning desert, there stood a well-known and mysterious oasis (绿洲). People treated it as a natural wonder, with clear spring water and tall green trees—the only lively place in the endless golden sand. Many brave travelers had tried to find it, but most got stuck in strong sandstorms and were never seen again. One day, a young traveler named Karl decided to look for the oasis. He carefully prepared enough water and other things, checked his camel again and again, and then started his long and hard journey. For days, he struggled against the burning sun and strong winds. His lips were dry and cracked, his eyes hurt a lot, and his camel grew tired. However, no matter how desperate the situation became, he never gave up hope. Finally, on the seventh day, Karl noticed a little green. Excitedly, he hurried his camel forward at top speed. Before long, he stood within the oasis: cool springs, thick shade, singing birds—a true paradise (天堂) in the desert. He drank the fresh water, sat under a tree, and experienced pure joy and calm after days of suffering. But as he prepared to sleep for a while, he noticed a big stone at the heart of the oasis. Some words were written upon it: “The oasis is not the end, but a new beginning.” Karl sat in silence and thought for minutes. He gradually realized that this wonderful place was not his final destination (目的地). It was only a moment to restore his strength, refill his bottles with fresh water, and prepare for the long, unknown road ahead. With a clear mind and renewed bravery, he began to check his things carefully and prepared to step into the desert again. 1．What can we infer about the travelers who failed to find the oasis? A．They stopped looking for the oasis halfway. B．They lost their way because of no good camels. C．They did not bring enough food and water at first. D．They were not as brave and strong-willed as Karl. 2．What does the underlined word “desperate” mean in paragraph 2? A．safe but boring B．serious and difficult C．dangerous but exciting D．comfortable and relaxing 3．Why did the writer describe Karl’s difficult trip so clearly and fully? A．To stress the importance of never giving up. B．To show how terrible the desert weather was. C．To explain why Karl wanted to find the oasis. D．To make the story more interesting and livelier. 4．What is the correct order of Karl’s experience? ① He saw green far away. ② He started his trip on a camel. ③ He understood the meaning of the stone. ④ He faced the burning sun and strong wind. A．②→①→④→③ B．②→④→①→③ C．④→①→②→③ D．②→④→③→① 5．What can we learn from the story? A．It is important to help each other. B．Where there is life, there is hope. C．Success comes from good preparations. D．Life is a journey, not a final destination. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了年轻旅行者卡尔在沙漠中寻找绿洲的经历，在历经艰难到达绿洲后，他从绿洲中心石头上的话领悟到生活是一场旅程，而非最终的目的地。 1．第四段提到“Many brave travelers had tried to find it, but most got stuck in strong sandstorms and were never seen again”，结合后文对卡尔成功找到绿洲的描述，可推断出那些没找到绿洲的旅行者没有像卡尔一样勇敢且意志坚强。 2．第二段提到“For days, he struggled against the burning sun and strong winds. His lips were dry and cracked, his eyes hurt a lot, and his camel grew tired. However, no matter how desperate the situation became, he never gave up hope”，从卡尔在沙漠中与烈日狂风对抗，嘴唇干裂、眼睛疼痛、骆驼疲惫这些描述，可知情况是严重且困难的，所以“desperate”意思是“serious and difficult”。 3．第三段详细且充分地描述了卡尔艰难的旅程，如“For days, he struggled against the burning sun and strong winds. His lips were dry and cracked, his eyes hurt a lot, and his camel grew tired. However, no matter how desperate the situation became, he never gave up hope”，目的是强调永不放弃的重要性。 4．第二段提到“He carefully prepared enough water and other things, checked his camel again and again, and then started his long and hard journey”，即②他骑着骆驼开始了旅程；接着“For days, he struggled against the burning sun and strong winds”，即④他面对烈日和狂风；第三段“Finally, on the seventh day, Karl noticed a little green”，即①他看到远处的绿色；第四段“He gradually realized that this wonderful place was not his final destination (目的地)”，即③他明白了石头的含义。所以正确顺序是②→④→①→③。 5．第四段提到“The oasis is not the end, but a new beginning”以及“He gradually realized that this wonderful place was not his final destination (目的地). It was only a moment to restore his strength, refill his bottles with fresh water, and prepare for the long, unknown road ahead”，从这些内容可知我们能从这个故事中学到生活是一场旅程，而非最终的目的地。 Passage 4 (2026.四川省成都市.二模) A king needed a new leader for his Royal Guard (皇家卫队), so he set a challenge: to climb 1,000 steps in heavy armor (盔甲) to his mountaintop palace. Many men tried. However, most of them took the first step, looked up at the remaining 999 steps and gave up. Several men made it to the second or third step. They all thought it was impossible to finish the challenge. Then, a young man who didn’t look strong came. “One step at a time,” he kept telling himself. When he reached the fifth step, he surprisingly felt a pull from the top and his armor became lighter. Then each step made his armor lighter and his goal closer. When he reached the top, the king showed a pleased look and explained, “The challenge was created to make sure my new Royal Guard leader isn’t a man who gives up easily. The armor stands for difficult times, and the magnet (磁铁) on the mountain top, which made each step easier after the first few, stands for the strong mind and experience.” 1．How did most people feel about the challenge? A．Excited. B．Nervous. C．Hopeless. 2．Why did the young man’s armor become lighter as he climbed higher? A．Because a magnet was at work. B．Because he had a strong body. C．Because he got help from his competitors. 3．What kind of leader did the king want? A．A man who was wise. B．A man with rich experience. C．A man who faced difficulties bravely. 4．What was probably the ending of the story? A．The man became the new leader. B．The man kept the armor as a gift. C．The king gave the man some gold. 5．What lesson does this story teach? A．All roads lead to Rome. B．Keeping on going makes things easier. C．Many hands make light work. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位国王通过登山挑战寻找皇家卫队领袖的故事，通过磁铁让坚持者的盔甲变轻的设计，阐述了坚持不懈才能克服困难、获得成功的道理。 【详解】1．根据第二段提到多数人刚迈出第一步就放弃了：“They all thought it was impossible to finish the challenge.”。由于他们认为完成挑战是不可能的并因此放弃，这反映出他们当时感到非常绝望。 2．根据最后一段中国王解释道：“…and the magnet (磁铁) on the mountain top, which made each step easier after the first few…”。这句话直接说明了盔甲变轻的科学原因是山顶磁铁的引力起到了作用。 3．根据第四段国王明确表达了他的初衷：“The challenge was created to make sure my new Royal Guard leader isn’t a man who gives up easily.”。不轻易放弃代表了在困难面前能够坚持并勇敢面对，这正是国王寻找领袖的标准。 4．根据第一段提到国王设下挑战的初衷：“A king needed a new leader for his Royal Guard…”。既然年轻人是唯一通过测试的人且国王表现出“a pleased look”，根据情节逻辑推断，故事的结尾应该是他被任命为新领袖。 5．故事中，其他人在前几步就放弃了，而年轻人通过坚持攀登：“…his armor became lighter and his goal closer.”。这一转折性情节寓意着只有坚持下去，事情才会变得越来越容易。 Passage 5 (2026.四川成都市.二模） One day, Andy was taking a walk and happened to pass by a fascinating farm. He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried. He felt strange and asked the farmer, “Why do you look so worried? Have you planted wheat?” Andy asked. The farmer shook his head slowly. His face looked very worried as he said, “I don’t think the weather will be good. I’m afraid that if it rains, the newly planted wheat might get wet. It may not come out at all. Even worse, it could rot in the soil.” Andy nodded in understanding and then asked, “Then, have you planted cotton?” The farmer thought for a while, and he said once again, “No. I’m worried about the insects this season. They may hurt the newly planted cotton. I just can’t take that risk.” Andy was surprised and asked again, “So what have you planted then?” The farmer sighed (叹气) heavily and answered, “I haven’t planted anything. I want to make sure that rain won’t harm my plants and insects won’t eat them.” There is no doubt that careful planning is important for success. However, if you wish to do something, it is not a good idea to just think about it. You can think and plan for a long time, but at some point, you must take action. That’s important. 1．What did Andy notice about the farmer? A．He looked worried. B．He got caught in the rain. C．He was busy working in the field. 2．What does the underlined word “rot” mean in this passage? A．Grow quickly. B．Go bad. C．Turn green. 3．What worried the farmer about planting cotton? A．The poor soil conditions. B．The change of the seasons. C．The insects are eating the cotton. 4．What does Andy most probably think of the farmer’s final decision? A．He agrees it is wise. B．He thinks it is silly. C．He believes it is proper. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．Planning Comes First B．Time Waits For No Man C．Acting Matters More Than Thinking 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一位农民因过度担忧而放弃种植的故事，借此说明行动比空想更重要的道理。 1．第一段明确提到“He noticed a farmer standing by the farm, looking worried.”，直接说明Andy注意到农民看起来很担忧,对应选项A。 2．结合上下文，下雨后小麦受潮无法发芽，更糟的情况是在土里腐烂变质，“go bad”意为“变质、腐烂”，与 rot“腐烂”含义一致。 3．根据第五段农民的回答“I’m worried about the insects this season. They may hurt the newly planted cotton.”，明确指出农民担心昆虫啃食棉花，对应选项C。 4．结合全文可知，农民因为惧怕各种风险，最终什么都不敢种，结合Andy多次听到农民的回答后表现出惊讶，以及文章的整体导向，可以推断Andy会觉得这个决定很愚蠢，对应选项B。 5．最后一段点明主旨：仔细规划对成功很重要，但不能只空想不做事，到一定时候必须采取行动，因此Acting Matters More Than Thinking “行动比空想更重要”最符合文章主旨。 主题04 人与自我——亲情时光 Passage 1 (2026.四川省成都市.二模） During the last few years of his life, my dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny house. He had been alone for over 20 years after losing his wife. His mother had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired, so he spent a lot of time alone. Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room, drink tea and talk. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my dad. It allowed us to silently give each other time and love. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world. I know that when my own time in this world is done, I will get to spend another afternoon with my dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love we didn’t get to share. And we will remember that afternoon forever. If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons, it is this: It is never too late to spend time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. Begin today! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a lifetime. 1．What do we know about the author’s family in Para.1? A．The author lived far from his dad.

And if you’re back, when? Let me know your plans! Love you!!!” He replied “Sure.” Sure? Sure to what? Sure you’re coming home? Sure you are staying?... I waited for further information but received nothing. I texted again the next day, yet he left my message on read for two weeks. On Thanksgiving morning, he suddenly appeared at home. I didn’t expect that. “You are here?!” I asked in surprise. “Yeah! I said I was coming.” “You only said ‘sure’.” “Yeah. Sure is short for I’m coming home.” Well, his short answer brought trouble: we had not prepared enough food, ▲ ... This made me think: Are one-word text replies polite, or am I just old? I always know that communication styles have changed. These days, people are in the middle of work emails, group chats and different apps. One-word answers can save time when people are busy. If someone texts you, “Did you buy milk?”, a simple “Yes” is clear. If your friend asks, “Italian or Thai for dinner?”, replying “Thai” is not rude. But to some people, like your mom, who gave you life, one-word answers may be not that good. What’s more, one word can also cause problems. Without voice or expressions, simple words may seem cold and cause misunderstanding. In my opinion, one-word replies are not always impolite, but unclear answers are. When we are busy, we should still reply clearly or explain we will write more later. And to my son: I love you. I’m so glad you made it home for the holiday! But next year, I’m requiring full sentences. How about making that our promise? 1．What was the main purpose the mother texted her son before Thanksgiving? A．To ask him to go home.
