专题06 阅读理解20篇（说明文）（浙江专用） Passage 1 （2026·浙江嘉兴·二模）Nowadays, AI is very common in our daily life. It is widely used in many areas, from chat apps to smart home devices, and even in our schoolwork. Unlike most common AI apps that only give answers, some new AI tools can help people do real tasks. One of them is OpenClaw, an open-source AI tool created by an Austrian engineer. It can clean up documents, send emails and make forms all by itself. Many people, from experts to beginners, can’t wait to try it. Lucas Wagner, a college student, is one of them. After OpenClaw was set up on his computer, he felt like entering a totally new world. “OpenClaw’s source code (源代码) is open to everyone. That means I can change it or add new uses freely, which makes me feel it is like a helper that never stops growing,” he said excitedly. “And it has a good memory. Over time, it knows what I like and does what I want. Therefore, my life has become much more convenient.” However, the rapid development of OpenClaw has also raised worries. Its ability to deal with problems independently is also exactly where its risks come from, because the tool requires high system permissions (权限). An Internet expert once warned, “The more permissions you give, the more careful you must be. Once it gets your photos and payment information, it may bring unexpected safety troubles.” OpenClaw makes AI from simple “talking” to real “doing”, which is a big step forward for AI tools. It offers us great convenience in life, yet it can never replace our real thinking and personal effort. If you choose to give it a try, always learn to control it before it controls you. 1．What is OpenClaw? A．An AI engineer. B．A popular chat app. C．A smart home device. D．An open-source AI tool. 2．Why did Lucas feel like entering a totally new world after using OpenClaw? A．He could learn how to create new apps. B．He moved to a completely new living place. C．He had a new and special experience of using AI. D．He got valuable skills to work as a computer expert. 3．What possible safety problem may OpenClaw bring us? A．It may cause the computer to go wrong. B．It may take the place of people’s own thinking. C．It may stop us from using other Internet tools. D．It may make users’ private payment information public. 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To remind people to use OpenClaw wisely. B．To advise people to make full use of AI tools. C．To show people how to use AI tools correctly. D．To tell people the importance of using AI tools. Passage 2 （2026·浙江嘉兴·二模）Have you ever felt uneasy when everything falls silent? Many people feel the same, because we are used to all kinds of daily sounds, such as noises on the street, phone rings and so on. In fact, silence is not always a bad thing. After a long day of study and schoolwork, our brain feels tired and stressed. Quiet time offers a good rest. It makes us calm and relaxed, and helps lower the stress. It is especially helpful before exams. It can clear our mind so that we can go over key knowledge more carefully. In this way, we can keep in good condition and perform better in exams. Silence can also greatly develop our creativity. Many writers and artists get new ideas in quiet environments. Take a famous writer, Rainer Maria Rilke, for example. He liked working in a quiet place, because loud noise and busy things would distract him. Only in silence could he think clearly and come up with great new ideas. For students, keeping quiet helps improve imagination. Quiet time helps us know ourselves better. It allows us to calm down and truly understand our inner thoughts and feelings. Our real ideas can be seen, which helps us make better choices in life. When we disagree with our friends, we are able to solve the problem in a peaceful way. When you run into problems that seem too hard to solve, why not try making a little time for silence each day? You don’t need a lot—even ten minutes after class or before bed can bring positive changes. Silence is a powerful gift that can make your daily life better. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By comparing facts. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined part? A．Noise took away his patience. B．Noise influenced his attention. C．Noise caused him to feel lonely. D．Noise made him worried all day. 3．Which advice may the writer agree with most? A．Students need a quiet environment to keep healthy. B．Students can stay silent all day to keep a peaceful mind. C．Students should make fewer friends to enjoy quiet time. D．Students should spend some time staying quiet in daily life. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．Ways to get relaxed after school. B．Advantages of silence in our daily life. C．Opinions on knowing about ourselves. D．Advice for students to prepare for exams. Passage 3 （2026·浙江温州·二模）On solar farms, there are many solar panels (太阳能板) standing in the sun. They need sunlight to make electricity. However, if grass grows too tall, it will stop sunlight from reaching the panels. Now many solar farms practise solar grazing by keeping sheep there. Sheep eat grass, walking safely between the panels without breaking anything. Solar grazing has many benefits. First, it is friendly to the environment. In the past, people used gas-powered machines to cut the grass. But they were bad for the environment. When sheep come to eat grass, people do not need to use these machines any more. It saves gas and also reduces air pollution. Second, farmers save money on cutting grass and feeding sheep. At the same time, more money comes from selling sheep and other products. Besides, local schools and community groups can visit these farms and learn about green farming and energy. It also teaches young people to care for the environment. Though solar grazing might seem like an easy win, there can be challenges. For one thing, the sheep stay quietly in one place around the panels, but they should move often to keep the grass under control. This means farmers need to move both the fences (篱笆) and the sheep from time to time. For another, sheep are easily attacked and harmed by animals like wolves, bears and lions. The fences are not strong enough to keep dangerous animals away. What’s more, some farms have poor-quality grass. It is not healthy for sheep, so they cannot grow strong or work well. That’s why not every solar farm is ready for sheep. If people want to make full use of solar grazing, they may need to make changes. Some new companies are trying different high-tech tools to make it easier and faster to manage sheep on solar farms. 1．What is solar grazing? A．Protecting solar panels on solar farms. B．Reducing sunlight reaching solar panels. C．Cutting grass with machines on solar farms. D．Raising sheep under solar panels on solar farms. 2．Which of the following are mentioned as the benefits of solar grazing? ①Reduce air pollution.                    ②Bring more money to farmers. ③Give local schools green energy.        ④Teach children to protect the environment. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 3．Why is it difficult to practise solar grazing? A．Sheep run everywhere on the farm. B．Dangerous animals come to hurt sheep. C．The fences can be easily moved by sheep. D．Grass grows more slowly than sheep can eat it. 4．What will the writer most probably talk about next? A．How we use gas-powered machines to cut grass. B．What kinds of animals we should keep on the solar farm. C．What new technologies people should use in solar grazing. D．How much money we can save by using sheep on a solar farm. Passage 4 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Are you standing in a long line for the school bus? Are you waiting quietly for your friends on the playground? Or are you trying to have fun during break time? Why not try Masyu—an interesting paper and pen game to pass the time? ________ In 1999, a creator named Ryou Yano designed a game played on squares (正方形), where you draw one long line to connect all white circles. Later, a man called Acetonitrile found that the game was too simple and repeated a lot. So he came up with an idea. If there are white circles, what about adding black ones with different rules? A new game, with two creators, was born. The rules are simple. In each square, there is a white circle, a black circle, or nothing. The goal is to draw a long and unbroken line to form a loop (闭环；圈) at last. The line passes through the center of each circle, but it never crosses itself or branches off. For example, the line mustn’t be like a number “8” or a letter “Y”. When the line passes through a black circle, it must turn 90 degrees inside the circle itself, and then must go straight through the next square. However, you won’t see a 90-degree turn inside a white circle. The line must go straight through the square with a white circle. Then, it must turn 90 degrees in the next square. Masyu is a great way to relax, exercise your mind, and make waiting time fun. It doesn’t require high levels of knowledge or special talents. Anyone, anywhere in the world can enjoy it. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling stories. B．By showing facts. C．By asking questions. D．By listing numbers. 2．Which of the following can be put in “_______” ? A．Many famous people like playing Masyu. B．Masyu is a popular game around the world. C．Masyu has many levels to meet people’s needs. D．Masyu has been greatly improved over the years. 3．Which picture is correct according to the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the main purpose of this passage? A．To describe the influence of Masyu. B．To show the best way to win Masyu. C．To encourage more people to try Masyu. D．To introduce the development of Masyu. Passage 5 （2026·浙江舟山·二模）① Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be. It is much better than I ever thought, and it has completely changed my way of life. ② The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me. The public travel system, especially in big cities, is great. The underground networks cover almost every part of big cities. People can get to where they want to go much faster. High-speed trains are another example of China’s wonderful transport system. Travelling between cities by high-speed train takes only a few hours, even for trips that used to take days. ③ Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability (可用性) of services. If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to buy some daily things, I just need to make a phone call or tap on my smartphone. Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket. Even late at night, I can get food sent to my door in just 30 minutes. It is one of the key reasons I have stayed in China for so long. ④ What’s more, China’s convenience doesn’t only lie in the availability of services, but also in their user-friendliness. For example, the apps that I use for travelling are easy to use, even for people who are not good at technology. Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties. Even my 70-year-old grandma can use the apps to pay for things when she visits me. ⑤ The convenience in China has helped me get more things done. I can save a lot of time on daily tasks and use it to do more meaningful things. I think that with technological progress and the development of basic services, life in China will become more convenient in the future. 1．What made the writer feel surprised when he first came to China? A．The low price of public transport. B．The large number of people in big cities. C．The convenience of public transport. D．The beautiful landscapes in the countryside. 2．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．People can easily use different apps. B．People can get whatever they need online. C．People can go anywhere by high-speed train. D．People can quickly get broken things repaired. 3．Which of the following could be the writer of this text? A．Allen, an international student in Beijing for 4 years. B．Zhao Wei, a Chinese who has just returned from abroad. C．James, a foreigner who has had a one-week trip to China. D．Li Hua, a Shanghai student who is proud of Chinese culture. 4．What is the structure of the text? A．B．C． D． Passage 6 （2026·浙江嘉兴·二模）Cathy knows that she has to hand in an essay next Monday. However, instead of beginning work on it today, she waits until the last minute, and starts work on Sunday night. Of course, it is impossible to do a good job writing an essay in one night, so she gets a bad grade. She then kicks herself for not starting earlier and promises to do better next time, but she doesn’t. Does Cathy’s story sound familiar? Like Cathy, many of us procrastinate—we put off doing something important until the last moment. But why do we do this? Some research shows that we procrastinate because of negative feelings, such as fear or worry. We are afraid of doing a poor job or getting bad grades. We think that we might fail. We put off doing the work in order to avoid having these bad feelings. Sadly, we are more likely to fail or do poorly when we procrastinate. This creates even more negative feelings and makes it more likely that we will procrastinate the next time. The long-term solution to this problem is to deal with our negative feelings. We need to forgive ourselves for failing. We need to accept that sometimes we will not meet the mark. We also need to realize that difficult work isn’t always a bad thing. It is through difficulty that we learn and grow. So what can we do? Here are some tips. First, realize that once we face our fears and get started, our fears often go away, and we start to enjoy the work. Second, break large projects into small parts, each with their own smaller deadline. Third, reward yourself for getting a step done. Relax or do something fun, then get back to work. Finally, remove temptation (诱惑). This means if you watch TV to put off work, then work at the library. In the end, it is up to you and the actions you take to overcome procrastination. So what are you waiting for? 1．Why does Cathy get a low grade on the essay? A．She does not care about her study at all. B．She waits until the last minute to write it. C．She has no ideas about what to write in it. D．She can not finish it before Monday morning. 2．According to the passage, where does procrastination mainly come from? A．Difficult and boring subjects. B．Too much free time every day. C．Too many tasks at the same time. D．Negative feelings like fear and worry. 3．What can we know from the passage about procrastination? A．It helps people work better under pressure. B．It can be stopped easily by staying up late. C．It may create a bad cycle that is hard to break. D．It makes people feel more confident about tasks. 4．What does the writer mean by saying “So what are you waiting for?”? A．Readers have to find a partner to finish their tasks. B．Readers should wait for better ways to beat procrastination. C．Readers must take action right now to overcome procrastination. D．Readers need to wait for the right time to start dealing with procrastination. Passage 7 （2026·浙江嘉兴·二模）All over the world people love listening to and telling stories. Sometimes they tell stories about things that happened. And sometimes they tell about made-up adventures. Often people tell stories to help them remember important people and how they lived. Do you know stories about your parents or grandparents? Sometimes people use pictures to tell stories. The rock painting from Africa is thousands of years old. What story do you think it is telling? Each area of the world has its own favorite stories and characters. Stories like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Cinderella” are very old. Long ago they were told by wandering storytellers or by families sitting around the fire at night. As the stories were told, people added new parts or forgot to tell others. Stories don’t always stay the same! Sometimes people tell stories to explain things that are mysterious or hard to understand. Native Americans tell many stories about how the earth was made with the help of Coyote, who brought warmth and light to the earth by stealing fire from the sun. People often act out stories. Puppet shows (木偶戏) tell stories too. In Indonesia and Malaysia, artists make fancy shadow puppets. They use them to tell stories about choosing between right and wrong. Puppeteers in Vietnam stand in water behind a screen. They move wooden puppets on long sticks. To people watching the show, it looks as if the puppets move through the water by themselves. Singers sing the story while music plays. You can tell stories too. Stick some googly (卡通式) eyes on a sock and put on a puppet show. Or draw a picture that tells a story. Or sing your story. It can be real or make-believe. Everyone loves stories! 1．Why do people often tell stories? A．To connect with each other. B．To practise speaking loudly. C．To make up new adventures about their parents. D．To help them remember important people and the way they lived. 2．What can we know about storytelling from the passage? A．All traditional stories stay the same forever. B．Rock paintings are too old to tell any stories. C．Stories change over time as people tell them. D．Puppet shows are only popular in Southeast Asia. 3．What do people use to act out stories in Indonesia and Malaysia? A．Fire and music.B．Googly eyes. C．Shadow puppets. D．Rock paintings. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To explain why some old stories have changed a lot. B．To show the many ways and meanings of storytelling. C．To teach readers how to make their own puppet shows. D．To compare different traditional stories around the world. Passage 8 （2026·浙江台州·二模）How do you keep cool on hot summer days? You might turn on your air conditioner (空调), right? But in India, only about 20 percent of families own one. The rest have to face rising temperatures without any cooling tools. Now, an old material is stepping in to help: terracotta (赤陶土). Ancient Indians used terracotta pots to store water. These pots are still common in the Indian countryside today. They help people cool water without using electricity. The material is quite economical: each pot costs only one U.S. dollar. So, how do these pots work? Well, terracotta has many tiny holes on its surface that are very hard to see. These holes allow water to slowly dry up. As the water dries up, it carries heat away and makes the pot and the water inside cooler. Many Indian architects (建筑师) have got great ideas from this simple cooling way. They now use terracotta in their buildings to control indoor temperatures. Ant Studio is one of the first companies to do this. It adds a terracotta “skin (皮肤)” to buildings. With the help of the “skin”, the buildings cool off. “We have already done tests across more than 30 places in India,” says the company, “and we’ve seen indoor temperature drops by 6-8 ℃.” Other Indian companies are joining in. One company recycles old terracotta to make special “breathing” walls, which work much like Ant Studio’s terracotta “skin”. Another has developed terracotta fridges that can keep food fresh for three to five days without electricity. These can be really helpful for homes with no electricity. Many researchers believe terracotta may make a big difference to our warming earth. As word spreads, the material may become more widely used. We could all stay cool without using lots of energy. 1．What does the underlined word “economical” in Para.2 probably mean? A．cheap B．special C．smooth D．green 2．How does a terracotta pot cool water? A．By having a special material inside. B．By using an electric cooling machine. C．By letting water dry through tiny holes. D．By keeping water away from sunlight. 3．Which is a new use of terracotta now? A．To store cool drinking water. B．To make walls that can cool the air. C．To keep food fresh for weeks. D．To produce electricity for buildings. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To call on people to protect the traditional art. B．To explain why the earth is becoming warmer. C．To encourage people to buy terracotta products. D．To show an old material used for modern cooling. Passage 9 （2026·浙江温州·二模） Can you imagine a person singing more than one sound at the same time? It sounds like magic, but it’s a real skill. It is called khoomei. Khoomei is a special way of singing from Inner Mongolia. To perform it, singers use their throats and chests to produce a low and long sound. Meanwhile, they create the second, high and clear sound by carefully shaping their lips and moving their tongues. That’s why khoomei sounds different from any other music in the world. Khoomei came from the life of nomads (游牧民) on the grasslands. A long time ago, people lived close to nature. They wanted to copy the sounds around them — the wind blowing, the river running, and the wolves howling. By making these sounds, they felt a connection to the land and animals. As time passed, this became a beautiful art — khoomei. People sang khoomei during festivals, at family parties, or just while riding horses. In 2009, UNESCO recognized khoomei as part of the world’s important cultural heritage (遗产). Long ago, only a few elderly masters knew how to perform it. Today, however, khoomei is popular among young people. You can even hear it in new places — like movies and modern music. For example, the famous Chinese film Ne Zha 2 adds khoomei to its background sounds. Young musicians are now mixing khoomei with modern sounds from jazz and electronic music. This helps khoomei change and grow while staying true to its roots. From the quiet grasslands to the big stage, khoomei is telling its ancient story to a new generation. Isn’t that amazing? 1．What is khoomei? A．A riding skill. B．A special tool. C．A singing art. D．A high sound. 2．Why did ancient nomads make sounds like nature? A．To feel closer to nature. B．To become better singers. C．To celebrate traditional festivals. D．To help animals on the grasslands. 3．How does the writer show that khoomei is popular today? A．By telling stories.B．By listing numbers.C．By giving examples. D．By explaining causes. 4．In which part of the magazine can we read the text? A．Sports B．Culture C．Health D．Nature Passage 10 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Big news in the plant world! Scientists have changed plants to make them even more useful at the DNA level. They take DNA from other living things, like animals or bacteria (细菌), and put it into a plant. Some scientists can even rewrite the plant’s own DNA．These kinds of plants are called GM plants, which have a better performance in solving certain problems. One problem GM plants can solve is indoor air pollution—usually caused by cooking, dust and cleaning products. As early as 1989, NASA scientists found plants could clean the air, but later studies soon showed that the effect was too weak to be really helpful. So scientists tried to change them at the DNA level. One example is the GM pothos (绿萝). In 2018, scientists from the US added DNA from a rabbit’s liver (肝脏) to it. In rabbits, this part helped break down harmful things. Thanks to the DNA, the new plant was better at cleaning the air. In 2023, scientists added DNA from bacteria. The special pothos was up to 30 times better at reducing air pollution than normal plants! ▲ In 2026, Chinese scientists successfully developed a new type of GM corn. They rewrote the corn’s own DNA to allow it to grow with less water. This GM corn, named “NAZ-4”, grew well even in dry areas. As a result, it could produce up to 47% more corn than normal corn, helping many people in poor areas fight hunger. Research is still ongoing. With the development of technology, scientists are trying to create more and more GM plants. They believe that these plants can help people solve more difficult problems. 1．How can scientists create GM plants? A．By adding bacteria to plants. B．By growing plants with less water. C．By moving plants from nature into labs. D．By putting DNA from other living things into a plant. 2．Why did scientists add rabbit’s liver DNA to the pothos? A．To help rabbits live longer. B．To help corn become stronger. C．To make cleaning products work better. D．To make the pothos clean the air better. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．GM corn dealt with water pollution well. B．GM plants also helped fight world hunger. C．“NAZ-4” can grow even in cold weather. D．“NAZ-4” was made by Australian scientists. 4．What is the writer’s attitude towards GM plants? A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful. Passage 11 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Compared with animals, plants seem a little boring. They don’t move, feel, or think. But in fact, plants have a superpower — they can live almost everywhere in nature. Let’s find out how they do it. Plants can grow well in difficult growing conditions. They cannot choose where to live. So they may live in hot deserts, ice fields, salty coasts, or high mountains. In hot deserts, cacti store water in their thick stems, and their roots take in rainwater quickly. In ice fields, some plants grow close to the ground to stay out of the cold wind. Inside their bodies, they also make something special to stop themselves from freezing. These ways help plants survive in bad conditions. ▲ They have no brains, ears, or eyes, but they can still keep insects away. For example, when insects eat bean plants, the plants give off a special smell. This smell brings the enemies of the insects. With the enemies around, the insects are soon gone. Some plants also make their leaves taste bad when animals try to eat them. These different ways help plants save themselves from harm. Plants also have useful ways to spread. They cannot walk or fly, but their seeds (种子) can travel far.  Take dandelions for example. When the wind blows, their light seeds with soft hairs fly high and land in new places. That’s why dandelions can be found in so many places. Other plants, like burdock, have seeds with tiny hooks. They help the seeds stick to animal fur or people’s clothes, and then disperse. These clever ways make plants some of the “greatest travellers” on Earth. So next time you see a plant, don’t just treat it as a green background. Remember — it is really good at surviving in nature. It is quietly living an amazing life. 1．How do plants in ice fields grow well? A．Stay away from ice. B．Store water in the stems. C．Take in salt quickly. D．Grow close to the ground. 2．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．Plants can produce different smells. B．Plants can improve the environment. C．Plants can change the taste of their leaves. D．Plants can protect themselves in smart ways. 3．What does the underlined word “disperse” probably mean? A．Wait for care. B．Disappear in the air. C．Travel to other places. D．Discover new things. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．Great Survivors in Nature B．Why Plants Live Quietly C．Green Helpers in the World D．What Environments Plants Like Passage 12 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Some people need to take medicine every day. However, it’s not always easy to remember to take the right pills at the right time. This can be especially hard for older people or for patients who take many kinds of medicine. Now a small machine called PillBot can help. PillBot was invented by Gregory Shechter, a middle school student in California. Gregory saw his grandfather take nearly 30 pills a day. Even with careful notes, his grandpa still couldn’t remember when to take different pills. That’s how Gregory got the idea of inventing PillBot. PillBot is a smart pill box. It has a 3D-printed shell (外壳). Inside the box, there is a special part with a tiny computer and small motors (马达). When it is time to take medicine, this part pushes out pills. It also makes sound and lights up to remind users to take the pills. Many smart pill boxes on the market are expensive. Some cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Gregory wanted his machine to be cheaper, so he used 3D-printed parts. The main material for the shell costs only about ten dollars per kilogram. So more people can afford PillBot. The open-source (源代码开放的) design is also an advantage of PillBot. That allows users to make their own pill boxes according to their personal needs, such as different pill shapes and different times to take medicine. Gregory won a Lemelson Early Inventor Prize for PillBot. This prize is for young people who find problems and come up with creative ways to solve them. Gregory’s grandfather’s problem is actually very common. According to the National Institutes of Health, 75% of Americans have trouble taking their medicine on time. This leads to about 125,000 deaths each year. PillBot works well in tests. That means it offers a possible solution to this big problem. 1．How did Gregory get the idea of inventing PillBot? A．He talked to many patients. B．He had trouble taking pills. C．He noticed his grandpa’s problem. D．He read his grandpa’s notes. 2．What can PillBot do? A．It can produce different pills. B．It can treat difficult illnesses. C．It can remind patients to take pills. D．It can offer a timetable to patients. 3．What does “That” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A small shell. B．The low cost of PillBot. C．A 3D-printed part. D．The special design of PillBot. 4．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To list ways to improve PillBot. B．To show the importance of PillBot. C．To give advice on inventing PillBot. D．To prove PillBot is popular in America. Passage 13 （2026·浙江温州·二模） Imagine a tall building in a city where fruits and vegetables grow on every floor. This is called “vertical farming” (垂直农业). As cities grow, we have more people but less farmland. Feeding everyone has become a challenge. Vertical farming offers a creative way to grow fresh food right in the city center. A great example is the Plenty Richmond Farm in the USA．Covering 40,000 square feet, it grows sweet strawberries indoors on tall vertical towers. Unlike traditional farming, it doesn’t need natural sunlight or soil. It uses special LED lights to provide light for the plants, and a water system to provide water and nutrients (养分). AI (人工智能) and smart machines regulate the environment 24 hours a day, keeping the temperature, light, and water at the right levels. This creates suitable growing conditions for the plants, no matter what the weather is like outside. This new technology is important for big cities. Since food is grown locally, it doesn’t need long truck trips, which means the food reaches people faster and stays fresher. The Plenty Richmond farm proves the benefits with amazing results. It produces 4 million pounds of strawberries for millions of people nearby every year, which is 350 times more than traditional farms do on the same amount of land! More importantly, it turns city spaces into green gardens while using 97% less land and 90% less water. Still, this high-tech farming faces some difficulties. These farms can only grow certain small plants now. What’s more, they need a lot of electricity to run all day, making the crops more expensive. Today, vertical farming works as a partner to traditional farming. Experts believe we need both for the future. Vertical farms focus on cities, while traditional farms grow crops in larger fields. Together, these two ways of farming can help build a better food system for our world. 1．Which of the following is necessary for vertical farming? A．Tall buildings and soil. B．LED lights and water. C．Sunlight and farmland. D．Good weather and AI. 2．What does the underlined word “regulate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Watch. B．Control. C．Protect.

Du Fu’s lines show how windows connect people with nature. Yet in ancient China, windows were even more than that. Chinese windows date back thousands of years, starting as simple holes in cave walls. By the Han Dynasty, people began making square wooden windows. Over time, windows became more beautiful and showed greater skill. Their design reached a high point in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when windows became artistic parts of ancient buildings. There was a clever math rule behind the window designs. Craftsmen (工匠) often followed a special number tradition. The number of wooden sticks was usually odd, such as 3, 5, or 7. These were considered Yang. At the same time, the spaces between the sticks were even, like 2, 4, or 6. This created a perfect balance of Yin and Yang. ________. One early example is the Hengni window, which is a narrow opening high on the wall. It is designed to let fresh air in while keeping birds out. Another style is the Geshan window. It is a tall window divided into four parts, just like the human body: head, torso, legs, and feet. People can open only the top part for gentle air while keeping the rest closed for privacy. A third popular type is the Louchuang window, or leak window (漏窗). With beautiful shapes like fans or circles, it is common in traditional Chinese gardens. It lets light and views “leak” inside, creating a “living painting”. So next time you look out of a window, take a second look. Behind its simple frame, there may be centuries of wisdom. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic? A．By using a poem. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Why did craftsmen often follow the number tradition? A．It made the windows stronger. B．It kept a perfect balance. C．It helped explain a math rule. D．It helped save wooden sticks. 3．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 4? A．Many people love ancient windows for their beauty. B．Window designs help people enjoy the outside views. C．Wood is the main material for ancient Chinese windows. D．Ancient windows have different styles for different uses. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To introduce different windows in China. B．To teach us how to make ancient windows. C．To tell the development of Chinese windows. D．To show the wisdom behind ancient windows. Passage 15 （2026·浙江台州·二模）Some people often get sick just as their holiday starts. This is sometimes called “leisure sickness”. It might happen when your busy body finally relaxes. You may have heard about it online, but is there any real evidence (证据) to support it? Leisure sickness first appeared in a 2002 study by Dutch researchers. It refers to people who are seldom ill during weekdays but often get sick on weekends or holidays. The researchers surveyed 1,893 people and found about 3% had leisure sickness. The patients usually suffered from headaches, tiredness, colds and muscle pain. Symptoms (症状) were most common during the first week of their holiday. However, this research depended on people’s memory. The idea of leisure sickness was not clear either. For example, one person’s idea of “seldom” and “often” may be different from another’s. A study in 2014 looked into why people get headaches during holidays. The study asked 22 people to keep diaries of their stress levels and when they had headaches. From their diaries, scientists found that headaches often came the day after stress levels went down. For example, if someone felt relaxed on Monday, they might get a headache on Tuesday. This explains why people who feel stressed at work often have headaches on days off, like weekends. Although we don’t fully understand its causes, some theories (理论) suggest possible reasons. One of them shows that people often get sick after holiday travel because planes and airports are crowded with germs (细菌). Also, their bodies may not get used to the germs in a new place, so it’s easier to catch something there. Another theory is that being busy at work makes us less likely to pay attention to symptoms. When we relax, symptoms such as muscle pain or a headache may become more noticeable. So, we may notice sickness more. There is still much we do not understand about how or why leisure sickness might happen. But we know that staying active, getting enough sleep, and eating healthy, balanced food—even when you are busy—can help you avoid it. 1．When does “leisure sickness” usually happen according to the text? A．Only after long travel. B．On weekends or holidays. C．Before working days. D．During busy weekdays. 2．What did the 2014 study find about headaches? A．Headaches happen during work. B．None of the 22 people had headaches. C．Headaches came after stress reduced. D．Stress brings headaches right away. 3．What might cause leisure sickness according to the theories? A．Travel germs and being relaxed. B．Long sitting on weekdays. C．Eating junk food on holiday. D．Sleeping too much on holiday. 4．What’s the best title of the text? A．Do Germs Make Us Sick? B．Why Do We Get Sick on Holidays? C．How Can We Avoid Leisure Sickness? D．What Are the Symptoms of Leisure Sickness? Passage 1 （2026·浙江台州·二模）①Have you ever wondered what it truly means to love yourself? Have you ever heard the phrase “Loving you, my dear self”? It has become popular on social media! Instead of showing off or feeling superior (优越的) to others, it reminds us to value our own feelings. This could be buying yourself a small gift, taking a break, or simply saying, “I’ve done my best.” So how can you develop your self-love? ②Self-love means talking to yourself kindly, just like how you would talk to a close friend. When you make a mistake, stop thinking, “Why am I so stupid?” Instead, say, “I did my best today, and I’ll do better tomorrow.” Also, you can write encouraging words each night, such as “I have stayed calm today” and “I have finished what I planned to do.” ③Another important way of building self-love is to learn to set boundaries (边界), especially in this age of social media. Seeing other people’s success, beautiful looks, or lifestyles on the Internet can make us feel like we’re not good enough. Self-love means realising that what you see online is often not real life. By doing so, you give yourself space to grow at your own speed, instead of always comparing yourself to others. ④Self-love also means resting when you’re tired. Always remember to have a mental (心理的) break for yourself. Do simple things that truly restore energy so you feel energetic and less tired, like taking a walk, listening to music, or sitting in the sun. Finally, spend a little time each week to check in with yourself. Think about what cheered you up or brought you down, and plan how to take care of yourself next. ⑤By practising these tips, you gradually learn to see your hard work, respect your needs. In short, loving yourself is a quiet power that helps you grow, and move forward with confidence. Self-love starts now. Love you, my dear self! 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By asking questions. 2．According to the text, which of the following shows “self-love”? A．Bob often thinks about his mistakes. B．Angela always encourages herself. C．Duffy likes to compare with others. D．Tom keeps working when he’s tired. 3．Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word restore in Paragraph 4? restore    verb [T]    UK /rɪ’stɔ:(r)/;    US /rɪ’stɔ:r/ ①to fix works of art or a building ②to bring a law or tradition back into use ③to give lost or stolen things back to someone ④bring someone back to good condition again A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What’s the structure of the text? A．B． C． D． Passage 2 （2026·浙江台州·二模）Do you know the connection between emotions and nose temperature? A new study shows that people’s noses get colder when they are stressed. Researchers from the University of Sussex took people’s facial temperature to see if it changes when they feel nervous or under pressure. Professor Gillian Forrester led the study. She used a thermal imaging camera (热成像相机) to record 29 volunteers’ face temperatures. First, the volunteers listened to white noise for five minutes to calm down. Then they did two stressful tasks in front of silent strangers: giving an unplanned speech and doing mental maths aloud. The study found that people’s nose temperature drops by 3°C to 6°C under pressure. This happens because blood in the face moves to the ears and eyes. Since warmer areas have more blood movement, the thermal camera clearly showed this change. After the stress ended, blood flow returned to normal within a few minutes, and nose temperature became warm as well. Forrester told the BBC that the time it takes for a person’s nose to warm up again may show how well he deals with stress. She believes this finding could be very useful in daily life. Humans aren’t the only ones who can benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes blood flow in the faces of animals like chimpanzees (黑猩猩). Thermal cameras can help find stress in animals because they cannot say how they feel. For example, the research team found that showing adult chimpanzees a video of baby chimpanzees calmed them down—and their noses slowly warmed up as they relaxed. Humans have studied primates (灵长类动物) for 100 years to better understand ourselves. Now, this study allows us to give back by using our knowledge of mental health to improve their well-being. This makes the research meaningful for both humans and animals. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a joke. B．By sharing a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．What stressful task did the volunteers do in the study? A．Giving an unprepared talk. B．Reading math books aloud. C．Listening to white noise. D．Using a thermal imaging camera. 3．What can we learn about chimpanzees from the passage? A．They can share their stress with humans directly. B．Watching baby chimpanzee videos makes them nervous. C．Their blood flow changes when having stress, like humans. D．Thermal cameras are useless for finding their emotions. 4．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To tell readers different ways to protect wild animals. B．To teach people how to deal with stress properly in daily life. C．To show how to use thermal imaging cameras correctly. D．To introduce a study on how stress connects with nose temperature. Passage 3 （2026·浙江台州·二模）①Birds may not have large brains, but some are surprisingly clever. A 2025 study reported that Cooper’s hawks (鹰) could understand human traffic rules and use them to get food more easily. ②The study was led by an animal expert Vladimir Dinets. Several years ago, he noticed something special while watching a hawk near a busy street. When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars. It used the cars as cover to get close to small birds. Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green. ③Dinets kept watching and found that the hawk did this again and again. It knew exactly when to wait for red lights and when to move. This is the first time scientists have discovered a bird that seems to understand traffic lights. Other wild birds may use buildings or trees to hide, but none have been seen using traffic rules. ④Cooper’s hawks live in many cities and towns across the United States. They are fast and feed mainly on small birds. As they have moved closer to humans, they have learned new ways to catch food. Living in cities has changed their hunting habits, and they have become good at using human environments to help themselves. The study shows that animals can get used to city life in amazing ways. But city life also brings risks, such as cars, tall buildings, and fewer natural places to live. ⑤As we can see, by learning more about these clever hawks, we can make cities safer and friendlier for wildlife. Next time you are waiting at a traffic light, look carefully into the trees. You might see a Cooper’s hawk waiting too—not to cross the road, but to catch its next meal. 1．What did the 2025 study find about Cooper’s hawks? A．They can fly faster than any other bird. B．They live in natural forests and mountains. C．They hide in tall buildings to catch small birds. D．They use traffic lights and cars to help catch food. 2．Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “cover” in paragraph 2? A．She covered her face with hands. B．The cover of the book is really fantastic. C．This lesson covers many important words. D．We stayed behind the rocks for good cover. 3．Which of the following are risks of city life for Cooper’s hawks according to the passage? ① Traffic lights.         ② Cars and tall buildings. ③ Other wild birds.         ④ Not enough natural living places. A．①② B．②③ C．②④ D．③④ 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 4 （2026·浙江台州·二模）Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we live and work. AI offers many good opportunities, but it also brings some problems. In this post, we will talk about how to succeed and do well in the age of AI. Learn to get used to change. Technology advances very rapidly. Useful skills and knowledge that were useful before may become useless quickly. It is important to keep learning new skills. You can do this by taking online classes, going to industry meetings, and staying open to new ideas in life and work. People who keep learning will always have an advantage. Learn to think critically (批判性地). There is much wrong information online. We need to check information with care. We should look at arguments, question what we believe, and listen to different views. This helps us make good choices, solve hard problems, and deal with new situations. In a world full of untrue news, critical thinking stops us from being cheated. Build human creativity. Machines can now do many daily tasks, like calculating numbers or organizing meetings. Because of this, human creativity is more important. A good example is advertising. AI can analyze data (数据), but only humans can create moving stories to interest buyers. So we should encourage new ideas and creative thinking. Build good relationships with people. Technology is important, but success still depends on people. When we have strong relationships, we build trust and teamwork. For example, when coworkers communicate well, they finish projects faster and with fewer mistakes. This helps us face the challenges and opportunities that AI brings. In short, AI is changing our work and life rapidly. But if we take active steps to deal with these changes, we can make sure AI helps us instead of hurting our way of life. 1．What does the post talk about? A．When AI technology will change our world. B．Whether AI will take the place of human beings. C．How we can do well in the age of AI technology. D．Why it is important to learn about AI technology. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Getting used to change. B．Staying open to new ideas. C．Going to industry meetings. D．Keeping learning new skills. 3．What’s the writer’s attitude(态度) when facing the challenges that AI technology brings? A．Proud. B．Worried. C．Doubtful. D．Confident. 4．What’s the structure of this passage? A．B．C． D． Passage 5 （2026·浙江温州·二模）① If you want to visit somewhere new and exciting in Egypt, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) might be a good choice. It opened to the public on November 4, 2025. With an area of about 500,000 square meters, the museum is as large as 70 football fields. It lies near the famous pyramids of Giza and mainly shows Egyptian civilization (文明). ② When you enter the main building, you can see a huge statue (雕塑) of Ramesses Ⅱ. He is one of the most powerful pharaohs (法老) in ancient Egypt. Created 3,200 years ago, this statue is a great work of art. It stands nearly 12 meters tall and weighs about 83 tons. Walking into this building, you will feel like stepping back in the old times. ③ Moving up from the ground floor, you will explore many exhibitions. They show different periods of Egyptian culture. But the most popular one is the exhibition of Tutankhamen. Tutankhamen’s treasures were found in 1922. Now, for the first time, they are all shown together, including his famous gold mask. People really enjoy spending time here, seeing all these treasures in one place. ④ Outside the main building, there is the Children’s Museum. This area is specially for children aged 6 to 13. It is like a “young pharaohs’ school” with Egyptian games and pyramid models. It encourages children to learn about ancient Egyptian history while playing. ⑤ With rich collections and family-friendly areas, the Grand Egyptian Museum is becoming a new world cultural landmark.

It is widely used in many areas, from chat apps to smart home devices, and even in our schoolwork. Unlike most common AI apps that only give answers, some new AI tools can help people do real tasks. One of them is OpenClaw, an open-source AI tool created by an Austrian engineer. It can clean up documents, send emails and make forms all by itself. Many people, from experts to beginners, can’t wait to try it. Lucas Wagner, a college student, is one of them. After OpenClaw was set up on his computer, he felt like entering a totally new world. “OpenClaw’s source code (源代码) is open to everyone. That means I can change it or add new uses freely, which makes me feel it is like a helper that never stops growing,” he said excitedly. “And it has a good memory. Over time, it knows what I like and does what I want. Therefore, my life has become much more convenient.” However, the rapid development of OpenClaw has also raised worries. Its ability to deal with problems independently is also exactly where its risks come from, because the tool requires high system permissions (权限). An Internet expert once warned, “The more permissions you give, the more careful you must be. Once it gets your photos and payment information, it may bring unexpected safety troubles.” OpenClaw makes AI from simple “talking” to real “doing”, which is a big step forward for AI tools. It offers us great convenience in life, yet it can never replace our real thinking and personal effort. If you choose to give it a try, always learn to control it before it controls you. 1．What is OpenClaw? A．An AI engineer. B．A popular chat app. C．A smart home device. D．An open-source AI tool. 2．Why did Lucas feel like entering a totally new world after using OpenClaw? A．He could learn how to create new apps. B．He moved to a completely new living place. C．He had a new and special experience of using AI. D．He got valuable skills to work as a computer expert. 3．What possible safety problem may OpenClaw bring us? A．It may cause the computer to go wrong. B．It may take the place of people’s own thinking. C．It may stop us from using other Internet tools. D．It may make users’ private payment information public. 4．What’s the purpose of the text? A．To remind people to use OpenClaw wisely. B．To advise people to make full use of AI tools. C．To show people how to use AI tools correctly. D．To tell people the importance of using AI tools. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款名为OpenClaw的开源AI工具的功能、优点、安全隐患，并提醒人们要理智使用。 1．由第一段“OpenClaw, an open-source AI tool created by an Austrian engineer”可知，OpenClaw是一个开源AI工具。 2．根据第二段Lucas的话“OpenClaw’s source code is open to everyone... I can change it or add new uses freely... it has a good memory... my life has become much more convenient.”可知，OpenClaw的开源性、可定制性以及良好的记忆功能给他的生活带来了极大便利，这种独特的功能让他感觉像进入了“一个全新的世界”，即拥有了一种新奇特别的AI使用体验。 3．由第三段“Once it gets your photos and payment information, it may bring unexpected safety troubles”可知，安全隐患主要涉及隐私信息泄露。 4．最后一段总结道“It offers us great convenience in life, yet it can never replace our real thinking and personal effort. If you choose to give it a try, always learn to control it before it controls you.”，这表明文章的目的是提醒人们在使用OpenClaw时要保持理智，明智使用。 Passage 2 （2026·浙江嘉兴·二模）Have you ever felt uneasy when everything falls silent? Many people feel the same, because we are used to all kinds of daily sounds, such as noises on the street, phone rings and so on. In fact, silence is not always a bad thing. After a long day of study and schoolwork, our brain feels tired and stressed. Quiet time offers a good rest. It makes us calm and relaxed, and helps lower the stress. It is especially helpful before exams. It can clear our mind so that we can go over key knowledge more carefully. In this way, we can keep in good condition and perform better in exams. Silence can also greatly develop our creativity. Many writers and artists get new ideas in quiet environments. Take a famous writer, Rainer Maria Rilke, for example. He liked working in a quiet place, because loud noise and busy things would distract him. Only in silence could he think clearly and come up with great new ideas. For students, keeping quiet helps improve imagination. Quiet time helps us know ourselves better. It allows us to calm down and truly understand our inner thoughts and feelings. Our real ideas can be seen, which helps us make better choices in life. When we disagree with our friends, we are able to solve the problem in a peaceful way. When you run into problems that seem too hard to solve, why not try making a little time for silence each day? You don’t need a lot—even ten minutes after class or before bed can bring positive changes. Silence is a powerful gift that can make your daily life better. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By comparing facts. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined part? A．Noise took away his patience. B．Noise influenced his attention. C．Noise caused him to feel lonely. D．Noise made him worried all day. 3．Which advice may the writer agree with most? A．Students need a quiet environment to keep healthy. B．Students can stay silent all day to keep a peaceful mind. C．Students should make fewer friends to enjoy quiet time. D．Students should spend some time staying quiet in daily life. 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．Ways to get relaxed after school. B．Advantages of silence in our daily life. C．Opinions on knowing about ourselves. D．Advice for students to prepare for exams. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了安静在我们日常生活中的三个好处：缓解压力、提升创造力和帮助认识自我，并建议读者每天留出一点安静的时间。 1．根据文章第一段第一句“Have you ever felt uneasy when everything falls silent?”可知，作者通过提出一个问题来引出关于“安静”的话题。 2．根据第三段中“because loud noise and busy things would distract him”可知，distract意为“使分心，转移注意力”，划线部分“distract him”与选项B“Noise influenced his attention”（噪音影响了他的注意力）意思最为接近。 3．根据最后一段中“why not try making a little time for silence each day? ... even ten minutes...”可知，作者建议学生在日常生活中每天花一点时间保持安静，而不是整天沉默或为了安静少交朋友。 4．文章分别阐述了安静有助于休息放松、激发创造力以及更好地了解自己等优点，最后总结安静能让日常生活更美好。因此全文主旨是安静在日常生活中的好处。 Passage 3 （2026·浙江温州·二模）On solar farms, there are many solar panels (太阳能板) standing in the sun. They need sunlight to make electricity. However, if grass grows too tall, it will stop sunlight from reaching the panels. Now many solar farms practise solar grazing by keeping sheep there. Sheep eat grass, walking safely between the panels without breaking anything. Solar grazing has many benefits. First, it is friendly to the environment. In the past, people used gas-powered machines to cut the grass. But they were bad for the environment. When sheep come to eat grass, people do not need to use these machines any more. It saves gas and also reduces air pollution. Second, farmers save money on cutting grass and feeding sheep. At the same time, more money comes from selling sheep and other products. Besides, local schools and community groups can visit these farms and learn about green farming and energy. It also teaches young people to care for the environment. Though solar grazing might seem like an easy win, there can be challenges. For one thing, the sheep stay quietly in one place around the panels, but they should move often to keep the grass under control. This means farmers need to move both the fences (篱笆) and the sheep from time to time. For another, sheep are easily attacked and harmed by animals like wolves, bears and lions. The fences are not strong enough to keep dangerous animals away. What’s more, some farms have poor-quality grass. It is not healthy for sheep, so they cannot grow strong or work well. That’s why not every solar farm is ready for sheep. If people want to make full use of solar grazing, they may need to make changes. Some new companies are trying different high-tech tools to make it easier and faster to manage sheep on solar farms. 1．What is solar grazing? A．Protecting solar panels on solar farms. B．Reducing sunlight reaching solar panels. C．Cutting grass with machines on solar farms. D．Raising sheep under solar panels on solar farms. 2．Which of the following are mentioned as the benefits of solar grazing? ①Reduce air pollution.                    ②Bring more money to farmers. ③Give local schools green energy.        ④Teach children to protect the environment. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 3．Why is it difficult to practise solar grazing? A．Sheep run everywhere on the farm. B．Dangerous animals come to hurt sheep. C．The fences can be easily moved by sheep. D．Grass grows more slowly than sheep can eat it. 4．What will the writer most probably talk about next? A．How we use gas-powered machines to cut grass. B．What kinds of animals we should keep on the solar farm. C．What new technologies people should use in solar grazing. D．How much money we can save by using sheep on a solar farm. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了“太阳能放牧”这一模式，即在太阳能板下放养绵羊，既解决杂草问题，又带来多重环境与经济效益，同时也分析了该模式面临的挑战及未来改进方向。 1．根据第一段“Now many solar farms practise solar grazing by keeping sheep there. Sheep eat grass, walking safely between the panels without breaking anything.”可知，solar grazing指的是在太阳能板下放养绵羊，对应选项D。 2．逐一核对四个点： ①减少空气污染：原文第二段明确提到reduces air pollution，①正确； ②给农民带来更多收入：第二段提到more money comes from selling sheep and other products，②正确； ③给当地学校提供绿色能源：原文只说当地学校可以参观农场、学习绿色能源知识，并没有说给学校提供绿色能源，③错误； ④教孩子保护环境：第二段最后一句It also teaches young people to care for the environment，④正确。 因此①②④正确。 3．根据第三段“For another, sheep are easily attacked and harmed by animals like wolves, bears and lions. The fences are not strong enough to keep dangerous animals away.”可知，太阳能放牧的难点之一是绵羊容易被危险动物伤害。 4．文章最后一段提到Some new companies are trying different high-tech tools to make it easier and faster to manage sheep on solar farms，因此接下来最可能讨论的是用于太阳能放牧的新技术，对应选项C。 Passage 4 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Are you standing in a long line for the school bus? Are you waiting quietly for your friends on the playground? Or are you trying to have fun during break time? Why not try Masyu—an interesting paper and pen game to pass the time? ________ In 1999, a creator named Ryou Yano designed a game played on squares (正方形), where you draw one long line to connect all white circles. Later, a man called Acetonitrile found that the game was too simple and repeated a lot. So he came up with an idea. If there are white circles, what about adding black ones with different rules? A new game, with two creators, was born. The rules are simple. In each square, there is a white circle, a black circle, or nothing. The goal is to draw a long and unbroken line to form a loop (闭环；圈) at last. The line passes through the center of each circle, but it never crosses itself or branches off. For example, the line mustn’t be like a number “8” or a letter “Y”. When the line passes through a black circle, it must turn 90 degrees inside the circle itself, and then must go straight through the next square. However, you won’t see a 90-degree turn inside a white circle. The line must go straight through the square with a white circle. Then, it must turn 90 degrees in the next square. Masyu is a great way to relax, exercise your mind, and make waiting time fun. It doesn’t require high levels of knowledge or special talents. Anyone, anywhere in the world can enjoy it. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling stories. B．By showing facts. C．By asking questions.

It is much better than I ever thought, and it has completely changed my way of life. ② The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me. The public travel system, especially in big cities, is great. The underground networks cover almost every part of big cities. People can get to where they want to go much faster. High-speed trains are another example of China’s wonderful transport system. Travelling between cities by high-speed train takes only a few hours, even for trips that used to take days. ③ Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability (可用性) of services. If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to buy some daily things, I just need to make a phone call or tap on my smartphone. Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket. Even late at night, I can get food sent to my door in just 30 minutes. It is one of the key reasons I have stayed in China for so long. ④ What’s more, China’s convenience doesn’t only lie in the availability of services, but also in their user-friendliness. For example, the apps that I use for travelling are easy to use, even for people who are not good at technology. Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties. Even my 70-year-old grandma can use the apps to pay for things when she visits me. ⑤ The convenience in China has helped me get more things done. I can save a lot of time on daily tasks and use it to do more meaningful things. I think that with technological progress and the development of basic services, life in China will become more convenient in the future. 1．What made the writer feel surprised when he first came to China? A．The low price of public transport. B．The large number of people in big cities. C．The convenience of public transport.

However, instead of beginning work on it today, she waits until the last minute, and starts work on Sunday night. Of course, it is impossible to do a good job writing an essay in one night, so she gets a bad grade. She then kicks herself for not starting earlier and promises to do better next time, but she doesn’t. Does Cathy’s story sound familiar? Like Cathy, many of us procrastinate—we put off doing something important until the last moment. But why do we do this? Some research shows that we procrastinate because of negative feelings, such as fear or worry. We are afraid of doing a poor job or getting bad grades. We think that we might fail. We put off doing the work in order to avoid having these bad feelings. Sadly, we are more likely to fail or do poorly when we procrastinate. This creates even more negative feelings and makes it more likely that we will procrastinate the next time. The long-term solution to this problem is to deal with our negative feelings. We need to forgive ourselves for failing. We need to accept that sometimes we will not meet the mark. We also need to realize that difficult work isn’t always a bad thing. It is through difficulty that we learn and grow. So what can we do? Here are some tips. First, realize that once we face our fears and get started, our fears often go away, and we start to enjoy the work. Second, break large projects into small parts, each with their own smaller deadline. Third, reward yourself for getting a step done. Relax or do something fun, then get back to work. Finally, remove temptation (诱惑). This means if you watch TV to put off work, then work at the library. In the end, it is up to you and the actions you take to overcome procrastination. So what are you waiting for? 1．Why does Cathy get a low grade on the essay? A．She does not care about her study at all. B．She waits until the last minute to write it. C．She has no ideas about what to write in it. D．She can not finish it before Monday morning. 2．According to the passage, where does procrastination mainly come from? A．Difficult and boring subjects. B．Too much free time every day. C．Too many tasks at the same time. D．Negative feelings like fear and worry. 3．What can we know from the passage about procrastination? A．It helps people work better under pressure. B．It can be stopped easily by staying up late. C．It may create a bad cycle that is hard to break. D．It makes people feel more confident about tasks. 4．What does the writer mean by saying “So what are you waiting for?”? A．Readers have to find a partner to finish their tasks. B．Readers should wait for better ways to beat procrastination. C．Readers must take action right now to overcome procrastination. D．Readers need to wait for the right time to start dealing with procrastination. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以拖延症为例，介绍了拖延行为的表现、产生的原因、带来的恶性循环，并给出了克服拖延的实用建议。 1．第一段“so she gets a bad grade”提示前文是得分低的原因，前文“she waits until the last minute”可知是因为拖到最后一刻才写论文导致得分低。 2．第二段“Some research shows that we procrastinate because of negative feelings, such as fear or worry. ”说明拖延源于害怕、担心这样的负面情绪。 3．第二段“This creates even more negative feelings and makes it more likely that we will procrastinate the next time.”，可知拖延会带来更多的负面情绪，下次更会拖延，这是一个恶性循环。 4．这是文章结尾的呼吁句，结合前文给出的克服拖延的建议，作者意在鼓励读者立刻行动起来，改掉拖延的坏习惯。 Passage 7 （2026·浙江嘉兴·二模）All over the world people love listening to and telling stories. Sometimes they tell stories about things that happened. And sometimes they tell about made-up adventures. Often people tell stories to help them remember important people and how they lived. Do you know stories about your parents or grandparents? Sometimes people use pictures to tell stories. The rock painting from Africa is thousands of years old. What story do you think it is telling? Each area of the world has its own favorite stories and characters. Stories like “Little Red Riding Hood” and “Cinderella” are very old. Long ago they were told by wandering storytellers or by families sitting around the fire at night. As the stories were told, people added new parts or forgot to tell others. Stories don’t always stay the same! Sometimes people tell stories to explain things that are mysterious or hard to understand. Native Americans tell many stories about how the earth was made with the help of Coyote, who brought warmth and light to the earth by stealing fire from the sun. People often act out stories. Puppet shows (木偶戏) tell stories too. In Indonesia and Malaysia, artists make fancy shadow puppets. They use them to tell stories about choosing between right and wrong. Puppeteers in Vietnam stand in water behind a screen. They move wooden puppets on long sticks. To people watching the show, it looks as if the puppets move through the water by themselves. Singers sing the story while music plays. You can tell stories too. Stick some googly (卡通式) eyes on a sock and put on a puppet show. Or draw a picture that tells a story. Or sing your story. It can be real or make-believe. Everyone loves stories! 1．Why do people often tell stories? A．To connect with each other. B．To practise speaking loudly. C．To make up new adventures about their parents. D．To help them remember important people and the way they lived. 2．What can we know about storytelling from the passage? A．All traditional stories stay the same forever. B．Rock paintings are too old to tell any stories. C．Stories change over time as people tell them. D．Puppet shows are only popular in Southeast Asia. 3．What do people use to act out stories in Indonesia and Malaysia? A．Fire and music.B．Googly eyes. C．Shadow puppets. D．Rock paintings. 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To explain why some old stories have changed a lot. B．To show the many ways and meanings of storytelling. C．To teach readers how to make their own puppet shows. D．To compare different traditional stories around the world. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了讲故事的不同形式、目的以及世界各地讲故事的传统，鼓励读者也尝试讲故事。 1．根据第一段最后一句“Often people tell stories to help them remember important people and how they lived.”可知，人们讲故事是为了纪念重要的人及其生活方式。 2．根据第三段最后一句“Stories don’t always stay the same!”以及前文提到人们在讲述时会增加新内容或忘记部分内容，可知故事会随着时间变化。 3．根据第五段第二、三句“In Indonesia and Malaysia, artists make fancy shadow puppets. They use them to tell stories...”可知，印度尼西亚和马来西亚这两个地方的人们使用shadow puppets皮影木偶来演绎故事。 4．通读全文可知，文章第一段介绍了讲故事的目的，第二至五段介绍了讲故事的不同方式，包括图片、口述、木偶戏等，以及讲故事的意义，最后一段鼓励读者尝试。选项B“展示讲故事的多种方式和意义”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 8 （2026·浙江台州·二模）How do you keep cool on hot summer days? You might turn on your air conditioner (空调), right? But in India, only about 20 percent of families own one. The rest have to face rising temperatures without any cooling tools. Now, an old material is stepping in to help: terracotta (赤陶土). Ancient Indians used terracotta pots to store water. These pots are still common in the Indian countryside today. They help people cool water without using electricity. The material is quite economical: each pot costs only one U.S. dollar. So, how do these pots work? Well, terracotta has many tiny holes on its surface that are very hard to see. These holes allow water to slowly dry up. As the water dries up, it carries heat away and makes the pot and the water inside cooler. Many Indian architects (建筑师) have got great ideas from this simple cooling way. They now use terracotta in their buildings to control indoor temperatures. Ant Studio is one of the first companies to do this. It adds a terracotta “skin (皮肤)” to buildings. With the help of the “skin”, the buildings cool off. “We have already done tests across more than 30 places in India,” says the company, “and we’ve seen indoor temperature drops by 6-8 ℃.” Other Indian companies are joining in. One company recycles old terracotta to make special “breathing” walls, which work much like Ant Studio’s terracotta “skin”. Another has developed terracotta fridges that can keep food fresh for three to five days without electricity. These can be really helpful for homes with no electricity. Many researchers believe terracotta may make a big difference to our warming earth. As word spreads, the material may become more widely used. We could all stay cool without using lots of energy. 1．What does the underlined word “economical” in Para.2 probably mean? A．cheap B．special C．smooth D．green 2．How does a terracotta pot cool water? A．By having a special material inside. B．By using an electric cooling machine. C．By letting water dry through tiny holes. D．By keeping water away from sunlight. 3．Which is a new use of terracotta now? A．To store cool drinking water. B．To make walls that can cool the air. C．To keep food fresh for weeks. D．To produce electricity for buildings. 4．What is the purpose of the text? A．To call on people to protect the traditional art. B．To explain why the earth is becoming warmer. C．To encourage people to buy terracotta products. D．To show an old material used for modern cooling. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了印度古老材料赤陶土 (terracotta) 在现代生活中的新应用——无需用电即可实现降温，为应对炎热天气提供了环保方案。 1．第二段提到“each pot costs only one U.S. dollar”，说明赤陶土容器价格低廉，因此“economical”表示“便宜的”，对应“cheap”。 2．第三段提到“terracotta has many tiny holes on its surface... These holes allow water to slowly dry up. As the water dries up, it carries heat away and makes the pot and the water inside cooler.”，说明赤陶土容器通过让水从微小孔洞中蒸发带走热量来冷却水温。 3．第四段提到建筑师将赤陶土用于建筑降温，第五段提到“One company recycles old terracotta to make special ‘breathing walls’, which work much like Ant Studio’s terracotta ‘skin’”，说明新用途是制作可冷却空气的墙壁。 4．文章先介绍赤陶土这种古老材料，再说明其在现代建筑、冰箱等领域的新降温应用，核心是展示“古老材料用于现代降温”的环保方案。 Passage 9 （2026·浙江温州·二模） Can you imagine a person singing more than one sound at the same time? It sounds like magic, but it’s a real skill. It is called khoomei. Khoomei is a special way of singing from Inner Mongolia. To perform it, singers use their throats and chests to produce a low and long sound. Meanwhile, they create the second, high and clear sound by carefully shaping their lips and moving their tongues. That’s why khoomei sounds different from any other music in the world. Khoomei came from the life of nomads (游牧民) on the grasslands. A long time ago, people lived close to nature. They wanted to copy the sounds around them — the wind blowing, the river running, and the wolves howling. By making these sounds, they felt a connection to the land and animals. As time passed, this became a beautiful art — khoomei. People sang khoomei during festivals, at family parties, or just while riding horses. In 2009, UNESCO recognized khoomei as part of the world’s important cultural heritage (遗产). Long ago, only a few elderly masters knew how to perform it. Today, however, khoomei is popular among young people. You can even hear it in new places — like movies and modern music. For example, the famous Chinese film Ne Zha 2 adds khoomei to its background sounds. Young musicians are now mixing khoomei with modern sounds from jazz and electronic music. This helps khoomei change and grow while staying true to its roots. From the quiet grasslands to the big stage, khoomei is telling its ancient story to a new generation. Isn’t that amazing? 1．What is khoomei? A．A riding skill. B．A special tool. C．A singing art. D．A high sound. 2．Why did ancient nomads make sounds like nature? A．To feel closer to nature. B．To become better singers. C．To celebrate traditional festivals. D．To help animals on the grasslands. 3．How does the writer show that khoomei is popular today? A．By telling stories.B．By listing numbers.C．By giving examples. D．By explaining causes. 4．In which part of the magazine can we read the text? A．Sports B．Culture C．Health D．Nature 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了内蒙古呼麦这一独特的演唱艺术：歌手同时发出低沉的持续音和清脆的高音。呼麦起源于游牧民模仿自然之声，2009年被联合国教科文组织列为世界重要文化遗产。 1．第一段中提到“It is a real skill. It is called khoomei.”，第二段第一句“Khoomei is a special way of singing from Inner Mongolia.”，说明呼麦是一种演唱艺术，所以选项C“A singing art.”正确。 2．第三段中提到“By making these sounds, they felt a connection to the land and animals.”，说明古代游牧民模仿自然声音是为了感觉与土地和动物更亲近，所以选项A“To feel closer to nature.”正确。 3．第五段通过举例说明呼麦在今天很流行：“You can even hear it in new places — like movies and modern music. For example, the famous Chinese film Ne Zha 2 adds khoomei to its background sounds.”，所以作者是通过举例的方式来展示的，选项C“By giving examples.”正确。 4．全文介绍的是呼麦这一传统演唱艺术的历史、特点、起源及其在现代的传承与发展，属于文化范畴，所以选项B“Culture”正确。 Passage 10 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Big news in the plant world! Scientists have changed plants to make them even more useful at the DNA level. They take DNA from other living things, like animals or bacteria (细菌), and put it into a plant. Some scientists can even rewrite the plant’s own DNA．These kinds of plants are called GM plants, which have a better performance in solving certain problems. One problem GM plants can solve is indoor air pollution—usually caused by cooking, dust and cleaning products. As early as 1989, NASA scientists found plants could clean the air, but later studies soon showed that the effect was too weak to be really helpful. So scientists tried to change them at the DNA level. One example is the GM pothos (绿萝). In 2018, scientists from the US added DNA from a rabbit’s liver (肝脏) to it. In rabbits, this part helped break down harmful things. Thanks to the DNA, the new plant was better at cleaning the air. In 2023, scientists added DNA from bacteria. The special pothos was up to 30 times better at reducing air pollution than normal plants! ▲ In 2026, Chinese scientists successfully developed a new type of GM corn. They rewrote the corn’s own DNA to allow it to grow with less water. This GM corn, named “NAZ-4”, grew well even in dry areas. As a result, it could produce up to 47% more corn than normal corn, helping many people in poor areas fight hunger. Research is still ongoing. With the development of technology, scientists are trying to create more and more GM plants. They believe that these plants can help people solve more difficult problems. 1．How can scientists create GM plants? A．By adding bacteria to plants. B．By growing plants with less water. C．By moving plants from nature into labs. D．By putting DNA from other living things into a plant. 2．Why did scientists add rabbit’s liver DNA to the pothos? A．To help rabbits live longer. B．To help corn become stronger. C．To make cleaning products work better. D．To make the pothos clean the air better. 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 3? A．GM corn dealt with water pollution well. B．GM plants also helped fight world hunger. C．“NAZ-4” can grow even in cold weather. D．“NAZ-4” was made by Australian scientists. 4．What is the writer’s attitude towards GM plants? A．Worried. B．Surprised. C．Hopeful. D．Doubtful. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了转基因植物的培育方式，列举改良绿萝净化空气、耐旱转基因玉米增产抗饥荒两大实例，表明科研人员持续研发这类植物，对其解决各类现实难题满怀期待。 1．文中第一段“They take DNA from other living things, like animals or bacteria，and put it into a plant.”，说明科学家提取其他生物的 DNA 植入植物体内，以此培育出转基因植物。 2．文中第二段“Thanks to the DNA, the new plant was better at cleaning the air.”，科学家将兔子肝脏 DNA 植入绿萝，是为了让绿萝拥有更强的空气净化能力。 3．文中第三段“helping many people in poor areas fight hunger”，本段主要介绍转基因玉米节水高产，能够助力人们抵御饥荒，此句可承接上下文填入空白处。 4．文中最后一段“They believe that these plants can help people solve more difficult problems.”，能看出作者认为转基因植物前景广阔，对此抱有满怀希望的态度。 Passage 11 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Compared with animals, plants seem a little boring. They don’t move, feel, or think. But in fact, plants have a superpower — they can live almost everywhere in nature. Let’s find out how they do it. Plants can grow well in difficult growing conditions. They cannot choose where to live. So they may live in hot deserts, ice fields, salty coasts, or high mountains. In hot deserts, cacti store water in their thick stems, and their roots take in rainwater quickly. In ice fields, some plants grow close to the ground to stay out of the cold wind. Inside their bodies, they also make something special to stop themselves from freezing. These ways help plants survive in bad conditions. ▲ They have no brains, ears, or eyes, but they can still keep insects away. For example, when insects eat bean plants, the plants give off a special smell. This smell brings the enemies of the insects. With the enemies around, the insects are soon gone. Some plants also make their leaves taste bad when animals try to eat them. These different ways help plants save themselves from harm. Plants also have useful ways to spread. They cannot walk or fly, but their seeds (种子) can travel far.  Take dandelions for example. When the wind blows, their light seeds with soft hairs fly high and land in new places. That’s why dandelions can be found in so many places. Other plants, like burdock, have seeds with tiny hooks. They help the seeds stick to animal fur or people’s clothes, and then disperse. These clever ways make plants some of the “greatest travellers” on Earth. So next time you see a plant, don’t just treat it as a green background. Remember — it is really good at surviving in nature. It is quietly living an amazing life. 1．How do plants in ice fields grow well? A．Stay away from ice. B．Store water in the stems. C．Take in salt quickly. D．Grow close to the ground. 2．Which sentence can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．Plants can produce different smells. B．Plants can improve the environment. C．Plants can change the taste of their leaves. D．Plants can protect themselves in smart ways. 3．What does the underlined word “disperse” probably mean? A．Wait for care. B．Disappear in the air. C．Travel to other places. D．Discover new things. 4．What is the best title of the text? A．Great Survivors in Nature B．Why Plants Live Quietly C．Green Helpers in the World D．What Environments Plants Like 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了植物在恶劣环境中生存、自我保护以及传播种子的多种“超能力”，展现了它们强大的生存能力。   1．第2段语句“In ice fields, some plants grow close to the ground to stay out of the cold wind.”可知，冰原上的植物通过贴近地面生长来躲避寒风，因此它们的生长方式是贴近地面。 2．第3段内容主要介绍了植物通过释放特殊气味、改变叶片味道等方式来驱赶昆虫、保护自己，因此段落开头的主题句应是“Plants can protect themselves in smart ways.”，起到总起下文的作用。 3．第4段语句“Other plants, like burdock, have seeds with tiny hooks. They help the seeds stick to animal fur or people’s clothes, and then disperse.”可知，苍耳的种子通过钩子附着在动物皮毛或人类衣物上，传播到其他地方，因此“disperse”的意思是“传播到其他地方”。 4．全文围绕植物在自然中的生存策略展开，从适应恶劣环境、自我保护到传播种子，都体现了它们强大的生存能力，因此最佳标题是“Great Survivors in Nature”。 Passage 12 （2026·浙江温州·二模）Some people need to take medicine every day. However, it’s not always easy to remember to take the right pills at the right time. This can be especially hard for older people or for patients who take many kinds of medicine. Now a small machine called PillBot can help. PillBot was invented by Gregory Shechter, a middle school student in California. Gregory saw his grandfather take nearly 30 pills a day. Even with careful notes, his grandpa still couldn’t remember when to take different pills. That’s how Gregory got the idea of inventing PillBot. PillBot is a smart pill box. It has a 3D-printed shell (外壳). Inside the box, there is a special part with a tiny computer and small motors (马达). When it is time to take medicine, this part pushes out pills. It also makes sound and lights up to remind users to take the pills. Many smart pill boxes on the market are expensive. Some cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Gregory wanted his machine to be cheaper, so he used 3D-printed parts. The main material for the shell costs only about ten dollars per kilogram. So more people can afford PillBot. The open-source (源代码开放的) design is also an advantage of PillBot. That allows users to make their own pill boxes according to their personal needs, such as different pill shapes and different times to take medicine. Gregory won a Lemelson Early Inventor Prize for PillBot. This prize is for young people who find problems and come up with creative ways to solve them. Gregory’s grandfather’s problem is actually very common. According to the National Institutes of Health, 75% of Americans have trouble taking their medicine on time. This leads to about 125,000 deaths each year. PillBot works well in tests. That means it offers a possible solution to this big problem. 1．How did Gregory get the idea of inventing PillBot? A．He talked to many patients. B．He had trouble taking pills. C．He noticed his grandpa’s problem. D．He read his grandpa’s notes. 2．What can PillBot do? A．It can produce different pills. B．It can treat difficult illnesses. C．It can remind patients to take pills. D．It can offer a timetable to patients. 3．What does “That” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．A small shell. B．The low cost of PillBot. C．A 3D-printed part. D．The special design of PillBot. 4．What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A．To list ways to improve PillBot. B．To show the importance of PillBot. C．To give advice on inventing PillBot. D．To prove PillBot is popular in America. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中学生Gregory Shechter发明的智能药盒PillBot，包括其发明背景、功能、优势及社会意义。 1．第二段提到“Gregory saw his grandfather take nearly 30 pills a day. Even with careful notes, his grandpa still couldn’t remember when to take different pills. That’s how Gregory got the idea of inventing PillBot.”，说明Gregory是注意到爷爷的服药困难后，产生了发明PillBot的想法。 2．第三段提到“When it is time to take medicine, this part pushes out pills. It also makes sound and lights up to remind users to take the pills.”，说明PillBot可以在服药时间推出药片、发出声音和灯光来提醒患者服药。 3．第四段提到“The open-source design is also an advantage of PillBot. That allows users to make their own pill boxes according to their personal needs...”，这里的“That”指代前文的“open-source design”，即PillBot的特殊开源设计。 4．最后一段提到Gregory因PillBot获奖，同时指出美国有大量人群存在按时服药困难的问题，而PillBot在测试中表现良好，为这一难题提供了可能的解决方案，体现了PillBot的重要性。 Passage 13 （2026·浙江温州·二模） Imagine a tall building in a city where fruits and vegetables grow on every floor. This is called “vertical farming” (垂直农业). As cities grow, we have more people but less farmland. Feeding everyone has become a challenge. Vertical farming offers a creative way to grow fresh food right in the city center. A great example is the Plenty Richmond Farm in the USA．Covering 40,000 square feet, it grows sweet strawberries indoors on tall vertical towers. Unlike traditional farming, it doesn’t need natural sunlight or soil. It uses special LED lights to provide light for the plants, and a water system to provide water and nutrients (养分). AI (人工智能) and smart machines regulate the environment 24 hours a day, keeping the temperature, light, and water at the right levels. This creates suitable growing conditions for the plants, no matter what the weather is like outside. This new technology is important for big cities. Since food is grown locally, it doesn’t need long truck trips, which means the food reaches people faster and stays fresher. The Plenty Richmond farm proves the benefits with amazing results. It produces 4 million pounds of strawberries for millions of people nearby every year, which is 350 times more than traditional farms do on the same amount of land! More importantly, it turns city spaces into green gardens while using 97% less land and 90% less water. Still, this high-tech farming faces some difficulties. These farms can only grow certain small plants now. What’s more, they need a lot of electricity to run all day, making the crops more expensive. Today, vertical farming works as a partner to traditional farming. Experts believe we need both for the future. Vertical farms focus on cities, while traditional farms grow crops in larger fields. Together, these two ways of farming can help build a better food system for our world. 1．Which of the following is necessary for vertical farming? A．Tall buildings and soil. B．LED lights and water. C．Sunlight and farmland. D．Good weather and AI. 2．What does the underlined word “regulate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Watch. B．Control. C．Protect. D．Describe. 3．Why is vertical farming important for big cities? ① It provides fresher food.                     ② It produces more food. ③ It makes the food cheaper.                  ④ It uses less land and water. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．①②④ D．②③④ 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．Vertical Farming: A High-Cost Technology B．Vertical Farming: A Model Farm in the USA C．Vertical Farming: A Smart Way to Feed Cities D．Vertical Farming: An End to Traditional Farms 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了垂直农业与传统农业的区别及其在未来粮食系统中的重要性。 1．根据文章第二段“It uses special LED lights to provide light for the plants, and a water system to provide water and nutrients.”可知，垂直农业的必要条件是LED灯和水。 2．根据文章第二段“AI and smart machines regulate the environment 24 hours a day, keeping the temperature, light, and water at the right levels.”可知，人工智能和智能机器要让温度、光照、水始终维持在合适区间，由此可知regulate意思是“调节、控制”，对应选项Control。 3．根据文章第三段“Since food is grown locally…stays fresher…which is 350 times more than traditional farms…while using 97% less land and 90% less water.”可知，垂直农业为人们提供更新鲜的食物、生产更多的粮食、但使用更少的土地和水。根据文章第四段“What’s more, they need a lot of electricity to run all day, making the crops more expensive.”可知，垂直农业用电量大，使食物更贵。所以①②④正确。 4．文章末段“Experts believe we need both for the future…help build a better food system for our world”，核心主旨是介绍垂直农业作为解决未来城市粮食问题的创新方法。A只强调了“高成本”缺点，不能概括全文；B里的美国农场只是文中举的例子，不是核心主题；D不符合文中“未来传统农业和垂直农业都需要”的表述。 Passage 14 （2026·浙江温州·二模） From my window the snow-crowned western hills are seen; Beyond the door the east-bound ships at anchor lie. Du Fu’s lines show how windows connect people with nature. Yet in ancient China, windows were even more than that. Chinese windows date back thousands of years, starting as simple holes in cave walls. By the Han Dynasty, people began making square wooden windows. Over time, windows became more beautiful and showed greater skill. Their design reached a high point in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when windows became artistic parts of ancient buildings. There was a clever math rule behind the window designs. Craftsmen (工匠) often followed a special number tradition. The number of wooden sticks was usually odd, such as 3, 5, or 7. These were considered Yang. At the same time, the spaces between the sticks were even, like 2, 4, or 6. This created a perfect balance of Yin and Yang. ________. One early example is the Hengni window, which is a narrow opening high on the wall. It is designed to let fresh air in while keeping birds out. Another style is the Geshan window. It is a tall window divided into four parts, just like the human body: head, torso, legs, and feet. People can open only the top part for gentle air while keeping the rest closed for privacy. A third popular type is the Louchuang window, or leak window (漏窗). With beautiful shapes like fans or circles, it is common in traditional Chinese gardens. It lets light and views “leak” inside, creating a “living painting”. So next time you look out of a window, take a second look. Behind its simple frame, there may be centuries of wisdom. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic? A．By using a poem. B．By asking a question. C．By listing numbers. D．By giving an example. 2．Why did craftsmen often follow the number tradition? A．It made the windows stronger. B．It kept a perfect balance. C．It helped explain a math rule. D．It helped save wooden sticks. 3．Which sentence can be put in the ________ in Paragraph 4? A．Many people love ancient windows for their beauty. B．Window designs help people enjoy the outside views. C．Wood is the main material for ancient Chinese windows. D．Ancient windows have different styles for different uses. 4．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To introduce different windows in China. B．To teach us how to make ancient windows. C．To tell the development of Chinese windows. D．To show the wisdom behind ancient windows. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】文章以杜甫诗句引入，介绍中国古窗的发展、阴阳平衡的设计理念，并展现其背后的古老智慧。 1．文章开头作者直接引用杜甫的诗句，引出“窗户”这一话题，与选项A“By using a poem” 完全对应。 2．第三段“Craftsmen often followed a special number tradition.”和“This created a perfect balance of Yin and Yang.”表明工匠遵循数字传统，目的是为了创造阴阳平衡，与选项B“It kept a perfect balance”对应。 3．第四段“One early example is the Hengni window, which is a narrow opening high on the wall. ”; “Another style is the Geshan window.”和“A third popular type is the Louchuang window, or leak window”分别介绍了三种不同样式的窗户及其用途，D选项“Ancient windows have different styles for different uses.”能总领下文内容，起到段首主题句的作用。 4．最后一段“Behind its simple frame, there may be centuries of wisdom.”文章介绍了古窗的发展、设计理念和不同样式，核心目的是展现其背后的古老智慧，与选项D“To show the wisdom behind ancient windows”对应。 Passage 15 （2026·浙江台州·二模）Some people often get sick just as their holiday starts. This is sometimes called “leisure sickness”. It might happen when your busy body finally relaxes. You may have heard about it online, but is there any real evidence (证据) to support it? Leisure sickness first appeared in a 2002 study by Dutch researchers. It refers to people who are seldom ill during weekdays but often get sick on weekends or holidays. The researchers surveyed 1,893 people and found about 3% had leisure sickness. The patients usually suffered from headaches, tiredness, colds and muscle pain. Symptoms (症状) were most common during the first week of their holiday. However, this research depended on people’s memory. The idea of leisure sickness was not clear either. For example, one person’s idea of “seldom” and “often” may be different from another’s. A study in 2014 looked into why people get headaches during holidays. The study asked 22 people to keep diaries of their stress levels and when they had headaches. From their diaries, scientists found that headaches often came the day after stress levels went down. For example, if someone felt relaxed on Monday, they might get a headache on Tuesday. This explains why people who feel stressed at work often have headaches on days off, like weekends. Although we don’t fully understand its causes, some theories (理论) suggest possible reasons. One of them shows that people often get sick after holiday travel because planes and airports are crowded with germs (细菌). Also, their bodies may not get used to the germs in a new place, so it’s easier to catch something there. Another theory is that being busy at work makes us less likely to pay attention to symptoms. When we relax, symptoms such as muscle pain or a headache may become more noticeable. So, we may notice sickness more. There is still much we do not understand about how or why leisure sickness might happen. But we know that staying active, getting enough sleep, and eating healthy, balanced food—even when you are busy—can help you avoid it. 1．When does “leisure sickness” usually happen according to the text? A．Only after long travel. B．On weekends or holidays. C．Before working days. D．During busy weekdays. 2．What did the 2014 study find about headaches? A．Headaches happen during work. B．None of the 22 people had headaches. C．Headaches came after stress reduced. D．Stress brings headaches right away. 3．What might cause leisure sickness according to the theories? A．Travel germs and being relaxed. B．Long sitting on weekdays. C．Eating junk food on holiday. D．Sleeping too much on holiday. 4．What’s the best title of the text? A．Do Germs Make Us Sick? B．Why Do We Get Sick on Holidays? C．How Can We Avoid Leisure Sickness? D．What Are the Symptoms of Leisure Sickness? 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“休闲病”这一现象，通过2002年和2014年的研究分析了其可能的发生时间、原因及相关理论，并给出了避免建议。 1．第二段指出休闲病的定义：“It refers to people who are seldom ill during weekdays but often get sick on weekends or holidays.”，这直接说明休闲病通常发生在“weekends or holidays”。 2．第三段说明了2014年研究关于头痛的发现：“From their diaries, scientists found that headaches often came the day after stress levels went down.”以及“This explains why people who feel stressed at work often have headaches on days off”，这说明头痛发生在压力降低之后。 3．第四段和第五段提出了两种理论。第四段指出：“One of them shows that people often get sick after holiday travel because planes and airports are crowded with germs.”，第五段指出：“Another theory is that being busy at work makes us less likely to pay attention to symptoms. When we relax, symptoms...may become more noticeable.”，因此休闲病的原因包括旅行中的细菌和放松后对症状的注意。 4．全文围绕“休闲病”展开：第一段提出问题，第二段介绍定义和研究，第三段分析头痛与压力的关系，第四、五段探讨可能原因，最后给出建议。全文核心问题是解释“为什么人们在假期会生病”。B项“Why Do We Get Sick on Holidays?”准确概括了文章主题。 Passage 1 （2026·浙江台州·二模）①Have you ever wondered what it truly means to love yourself? Have you ever heard the phrase “Loving you, my dear self”? It has become popular on social media! Instead of showing off or feeling superior (优越的) to others, it reminds us to value our own feelings. This could be buying yourself a small gift, taking a break, or simply saying, “I’ve done my best.” So how can you develop your self-love? ②Self-love means talking to yourself kindly, just like how you would talk to a close friend. When you make a mistake, stop thinking, “Why am I so stupid?” Instead, say, “I did my best today, and I’ll do better tomorrow.” Also, you can write encouraging words each night, such as “I have stayed calm today” and “I have finished what I planned to do.” ③Another important way of building self-love is to learn to set boundaries (边界), especially in this age of social media. Seeing other people’s success, beautiful looks, or lifestyles on the Internet can make us feel like we’re not good enough. Self-love means realising that what you see online is often not real life. By doing so, you give yourself space to grow at your own speed, instead of always comparing yourself to others. ④Self-love also means resting when you’re tired. Always remember to have a mental (心理的) break for yourself. Do simple things that truly restore energy so you feel energetic and less tired, like taking a walk, listening to music, or sitting in the sun. Finally, spend a little time each week to check in with yourself. Think about what cheered you up or brought you down, and plan how to take care of yourself next. ⑤By practising these tips, you gradually learn to see your hard work, respect your needs. In short, loving yourself is a quiet power that helps you grow, and move forward with confidence. Self-love starts now. Love you, my dear self! 1．How does the writer introduce the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By telling stories. B．By giving examples. C．By listing numbers. D．By asking questions. 2．According to the text, which of the following shows “self-love”? A．Bob often thinks about his mistakes. B．Angela always encourages herself. C．Duffy likes to compare with others. D．Tom keeps working when he’s tired. 3．Which of the following in the dictionary best explains the underlined word restore in Paragraph 4? restore    verb [T]    UK /rɪ’stɔ:(r)/;    US /rɪ’stɔ:r/ ①to fix works of art or a building ②to bring a law or tradition back into use ③to give lost or stolen things back to someone ④bring someone back to good condition again A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 4．What’s the structure of the text? A．B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了自爱是善待自己、设边界、适时休息、减少比较。通过积极对话与自我关怀，获得成长力量。 1．文章第1段开头写道“Have you ever wondered...Have you ever heard...”，是连续提问引出话题。 2．文章第2段指出“Self-love means talking to yourself kindly...write encouraging words”，自爱意味着对自己温和地说话，写下鼓励的话语，选项B“Angela always encourages herself”（安吉拉总是鼓励自己）符合。 3．文章第4段指出“Do simple things that truly restore energy so you feel energetic”，恢复精力，使人回到良好状态，词典义项：④bring someone back to good condition again（使某人恢复良好状态）。 4．通读文章，结构分析：①引入话题+提出问题（如何培养自爱）；②方法1：善待自己；③方法2：设边界、减少比较；④方法3：休息+自我检查；⑤总结升华，②③④并列，正确结构为：①/②③④/⑤。 Passage 2 （2026·浙江台州·二模）Do you know the connection between emotions and nose temperature? A new study shows that people’s noses get colder when they are stressed. Researchers from the University of Sussex took people’s facial temperature to see if it changes when they feel nervous or under pressure. Professor Gillian Forrester led the study. She used a thermal imaging camera (热成像相机) to record 29 volunteers’ face temperatures. First, the volunteers listened to white noise for five minutes to calm down. Then they did two stressful tasks in front of silent strangers: giving an unplanned speech and doing mental maths aloud. The study found that people’s nose temperature drops by 3°C to 6°C under pressure. This happens because blood in the face moves to the ears and eyes. Since warmer areas have more blood movement, the thermal camera clearly showed this change. After the stress ended, blood flow returned to normal within a few minutes, and nose temperature became warm as well. Forrester told the BBC that the time it takes for a person’s nose to warm up again may show how well he deals with stress. She believes this finding could be very useful in daily life. Humans aren’t the only ones who can benefit from this knowledge. Stress also changes blood flow in the faces of animals like chimpanzees (黑猩猩). Thermal cameras can help find stress in animals because they cannot say how they feel. For example, the research team found that showing adult chimpanzees a video of baby chimpanzees calmed them down—and their noses slowly warmed up as they relaxed. Humans have studied primates (灵长类动物) for 100 years to better understand ourselves. Now, this study allows us to give back by using our knowledge of mental health to improve their well-being. This makes the research meaningful for both humans and animals. 1．How does the writer lead into the topic? A．By telling a joke. B．By sharing a story. C．By asking a question. D．By giving an example. 2．What stressful task did the volunteers do in the study? A．Giving an unprepared talk. B．Reading math books aloud. C．Listening to white noise. D．Using a thermal imaging camera. 3．What can we learn about chimpanzees from the passage? A．They can share their stress with humans directly. B．Watching baby chimpanzee videos makes them nervous. C．Their blood flow changes when having stress, like humans. D．Thermal cameras are useless for finding their emotions. 4．What is the purpose of this passage? A．To tell readers different ways to protect wild animals. B．To teach people how to deal with stress properly in daily life. C．To show how to use thermal imaging cameras correctly. D．To introduce a study on how stress connects with nose temperature. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究，发现人们感到压力时鼻子会变冷，并阐述了研究过程、原理以及该发现对人类和黑猩猩等动物的意义。 1．第一段提到“Do you know the connection between emotions and nose temperature? ”，可推断作者通过提出一个问题的方式来引出文章的话题。 2．根据第二段中“Then they did two stressful tasks in front of silent strangers: giving an unplanned speech and doing mental maths aloud. ”可知，志愿者做的压力任务包括未经准备的演讲，与“Giving an unprepared talk”意思一致。 3．根据第四段中“Stress also changes blood flow in the faces of animals like chimpanzees. ”可知，黑猩猩在感到压力时，面部血流也会发生变化，这一点与人类相似。 4．通读全文可知，文章开篇引出压力与鼻子温度的关系，随后详细介绍了相关研究的过程、结果、原理以及在人类心理咨询和动物保护方面的应用。因此，文章的目的是介绍这项关于压力与鼻子温度联系的研究。 Passage 3 （2026·浙江台州·二模）①Birds may not have large brains, but some are surprisingly clever. A 2025 study reported that Cooper’s hawks (鹰) could understand human traffic rules and use them to get food more easily. ②The study was led by an animal expert Vladimir Dinets. Several years ago, he noticed something special while watching a hawk near a busy street. When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars. It used the cars as cover to get close to small birds. Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green. ③Dinets kept watching and found that the hawk did this again and again. It knew exactly when to wait for red lights and when to move. This is the first time scientists have discovered a bird that seems to understand traffic lights. Other wild birds may use buildings or trees to hide, but none have been seen using traffic rules. ④Cooper’s hawks live in many cities and towns across the United States. They are fast and feed mainly on small birds. As they have moved closer to humans, they have learned new ways to catch food. Living in cities has changed their hunting habits, and they have become good at using human environments to help themselves. The study shows that animals can get used to city life in amazing ways. But city life also brings risks, such as cars, tall buildings, and fewer natural places to live. ⑤As we can see, by learning more about these clever hawks, we can make cities safer and friendlier for wildlife. Next time you are waiting at a traffic light, look carefully into the trees. You might see a Cooper’s hawk waiting too—not to cross the road, but to catch its next meal. 1．What did the 2025 study find about Cooper’s hawks? A．They can fly faster than any other bird. B．They live in natural forests and mountains. C．They hide in tall buildings to catch small birds. D．They use traffic lights and cars to help catch food. 2．Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “cover” in paragraph 2? A．She covered her face with hands. B．The cover of the book is really fantastic. C．This lesson covers many important words. D．We stayed behind the rocks for good cover. 3．Which of the following are risks of city life for Cooper’s hawks according to the passage? ① Traffic lights.         ② Cars and tall buildings. ③ Other wild birds.         ④ Not enough natural living places. A．①② B．②③ C．②④ D．③④ 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要研究发现Cooper’s鹰能理解交通信号，利用红灯和汽车作掩护捕食，城市生活带来机遇也有风险。 1．文章第1段提到“could understand human traffic rules and use them to get food more easily”及第2段具体描述“he noticed something special while watching a hawk near a busy street. When cars stopped for a red light, the hawk would fly low over the cars. It used the cars as cover to get close to small birds. Then it would quickly catch its food before the light turned green.”，他们利用交通灯和汽车来帮助捕捉食物。 2．第2段写道“used the cars as cover”，应该是利用交通灯和汽车掩护来帮助捕捉食物，cover此处含义应为“掩护物”，选项D“We stayed behind the rocks for good cover.”（岩石作掩护）符合。 3．文章第4段尾提到“city life also brings risks, such as cars, tall buildings, and fewer natural places to live.” ，城市生活也带来风险，比如汽车、高楼和更少的自然居住地，② cars & tall buildings和④ not enough natural living places符合。 4．文章结构分析：①研究结论（鹰能理解交通规则）；②具体观察例子；③该行为的独特性；④城市生活的适应与风险；⑤总结与对人类的建议，①（总发现），②③④（具体行为、独特性、适应与风险），⑤（总结与展望），正确结构为：①/②③④/⑤。 Passage 4 （2026·浙江台州·二模）Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we live and work. AI offers many good opportunities, but it also brings some problems. In this post, we will talk about how to succeed and do well in the age of AI. Learn to get used to change. Technology advances very rapidly. Useful skills and knowledge that were useful before may become useless quickly. It is important to keep learning new skills. You can do this by taking online classes, going to industry meetings, and staying open to new ideas in life and work. People who keep learning will always have an advantage. Learn to think critically (批判性地). There is much wrong information online. We need to check information with care. We should look at arguments, question what we believe, and listen to different views. This helps us make good choices, solve hard problems, and deal with new situations. In a world full of untrue news, critical thinking stops us from being cheated. Build human creativity. Machines can now do many daily tasks, like calculating numbers or organizing meetings. Because of this, human creativity is more important. A good example is advertising. AI can analyze data (数据), but only humans can create moving stories to interest buyers. So we should encourage new ideas and creative thinking. Build good relationships with people. Technology is important, but success still depends on people. When we have strong relationships, we build trust and teamwork. For example, when coworkers communicate well, they finish projects faster and with fewer mistakes. This helps us face the challenges and opportunities that AI brings. In short, AI is changing our work and life rapidly. But if we take active steps to deal with these changes, we can make sure AI helps us instead of hurting our way of life. 1．What does the post talk about? A．When AI technology will change our world. B．Whether AI will take the place of human beings. C．How we can do well in the age of AI technology. D．Why it is important to learn about AI technology. 2．What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Getting used to change. B．Staying open to new ideas. C．Going to industry meetings. D．Keeping learning new skills. 3．What’s the writer’s attitude(态度) when facing the challenges that AI technology brings? A．Proud. B．Worried. C．Doubtful. D．Confident. 4．What’s the structure of this passage? A．B．C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了在人工智能时代如何取得成功，提出了四点建议：适应变化、批判性思考、培养创造力和建立人际关系，并强调主动应对变化能使AI为我们所用。。 1．第一段末尾明确说“we will talk about how to succeed and do well in the age of AI.” 选项C与之相符。 2．第二段中，作者建议“keep learning new skills”，然后说“You can do this by…”，因此“this”指代“保持学习新技能” 3．最后一段说“if we take active steps…we can make sure AI helps us”，表达出积极自信的态度。 4．文章开头引入话题，中间并列四个具体做法，结尾总结升华，属于典型的总分总结构。 Passage 5 （2026·浙江温州·二模）① If you want to visit somewhere new and exciting in Egypt, the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) might be a good choice.
