It is a folk art form that mixes opera, dance and martial arts (武术). It is quite popular in Guangdong Province in South China and Puning is home to over 100 Yingge teams. In 2006, Puning Yingge dance was listed as part of China’s national intangible cultural heritage. The Yingge dance usually gets inspiration from The Water Margin (水浒传), one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels. During main festivals, the sound of Yingge drums fills cities and villages. The dancers wear colorful traditional costumes, put on beautiful facial makeup (化妆) and dance joyfully. When watching the dance, people can feel a strong sense of courage and power, along with an energetic and lively feeling. Typically, the lead dancer acts like a snake, which is a symbol of flexibility (灵活性) and wisdom, giving the dance deep cultural meaning. Holding a cloth snake, the lead dancer copies the snake’s movements. When he makes his way through the dance team, he also guides the team’s direction. His fine steps and skillful movements make him the center of the performance. During performances, dancers hold the Yingge sticks at their mid-points, shaking them and forming the shape of number 8. At the same time, their fingers create continuous movements. Moreover, each dancer jumps sideways and hits the sticks to the drum beats as if they are riding a horse. Their heads and bodies move naturally to the beat, too. Traditionally, only adult men could join the Yingge teams. Today, however, the dance has opened its doors to both men and women. Modern dance has also been introduced, yet the heart of the tradition remains untouched. It is this mix that keeps the heroic spirit of Yingge alive, making it a true “Dance of the Heroes”. 1．What do we know about the Yingge dance from Paragraph 1? A．It includes opera, dance and magic.

Passage 2 （2026·聊城高唐·二模）Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient way of health care in China with a history of thousands of years. It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping yin and yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture (针灸). Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is cooperating with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center. TCM is not only for patients. More and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit. TCM comes from the past but also keeps up with the times. Now it has a new look and connects people around the world in modern ways. 1．What does TCM focus on according to Paragraph 1? A．Using different kinds of medicine. B．Using high-tech medical methods. C．Keeping the balance between yin and yang. 2．What can we know about acupuncture from the text? A．It can treat all kinds of diseases. B．It looks scary but it doesn’t hurt at all. C．Doctors put thick needles into patients’ skin roughly. 3．How does Paragraph 3 tell us TCM is getting popular around the world? A．By giving examples. B．By listing numbers. C．By showing opinions. 4．What is the purpose of this text? A．To explain how TCM helps people keep healthy. B．To introduce TCM and its growing influence around the world. C．To tell us the differences between TCM and modern hospital medicine. Passage 3 （2026·济宁鱼台·二模）Have you heard of the phrase “Becoming Chinese”? It is not about changing your passport or nationality. Instead, it is a fun and healthy lifestyle trend (趋势) that is popular on social media platforms (平台) like TikTok in 2026. Many young people in the world are now trying to live like Chinese people. This trend was started by a popular video from a Chinese-American blogger (博主) named Sherry. She jokingly told her viewers, “From tomorrow, you are going to become Chinese.” Her video encouraged people to try traditional Chinese habits, especially those related to health and keeping fit. So, what does “becoming Chinese” include? It includes many simple but meaningful daily habits. For example, people are drinking hot water or herbal (草药) tea instead of ice water. They are wearing comfortable indoor slippers at home and washing their feet in warm water before bed. Many are also trying traditional exercises like Baduanjin, a form of Qigong that helps relax the body and mind. Cooking congee (粥) for breakfast or making hot pot with family has also become popular. Why are so many people joining this trend? Because they find these habits comforting and good for their health. In a busy and quick world, these simple routines offer a sense of peace and balance. Plus, with more foreigners visiting China and sharing their real experiences online, people are discovering that Chinese daily life is both warm and interesting. “Becoming Chinese” is more than just a joke — it’s a way for people to connect with a different culture through everyday actions. It shows that good ideas about health and happiness can come from anywhere. 1．What is the “Becoming Chinese” trend mainly about? A．Changing one’s passport. B．Getting a new nationality. C．Following Chinese healthy habits. D．Moving to China to live. 2．Why do many people around the world join this trend? A．They want to learn Chinese. B．The habits are good for their health. C．They want to work in China. D．Chinese food is cheaper than Western food. 3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a habit of “Becoming Chinese”? A．Wearing comfortable slippers at home. B．Taking Chinese language classes every day. C．Learning to cook Chinese food like congee or hot pot.

Passage 5 （2026·山东济南章丘·二模）Warning: this article may make you want to yawn (打哈欠). Why? It’s because we’re looking into the world of sleep cycles (周期) in light of World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21. Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles, experiencing five to six each night. At first, you enter a light stage of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. This is when your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM, 快速眼动) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens. After REM sleep, the cycle repeats. Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator can help you avoid this. It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time. Developed by the UK company Hillarys, this smart calculator takes into account (考虑到) the sleep cycles our bodies go through each night. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, simply input your wake-up time, and the calculator will work its magic, suggesting the perfect bedtime to make sure that you rise and shine with a spring in your step. It’s also worth noting that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time, particularly by using light and temperature. If we wake up too late, we may feel a bit like a zombie (僵尸). That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping. 1．How many stages does each sleep cycle have? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What is likely to happen to you during the second stage of a sleep cycle? A．Your muscles become relaxed. B．You sleep deeply with a high heart rate. C．Your temperature goes down. D．You might have a lot of dreams. 3．What will happen if you wake up in a “wrong” stage? A．Your eyes will move rapidly. B．You may lose energy quickly. C．You may have bad dreams. D．You may not be full of energy. 4．What can Sleep Calculator do for users? A．Offer you the best bedtime to follow. B．Prevent you from dreaming a lot. C．Wake you up when you oversleep. D．Make you fall asleep faster. 5．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．You can go to bed at anytime as long as you have 8 hours of sleep. B．The longer you sleep, the better you will feel. C．A good sleep needs to follow your body clock. D．It’s the best sleep if you wake up naturally. Passage 6 （2026·德州临邑·二模）Nowadays, spring and autumn vacations have become a hot topic in Chinese basic education. More and more primary and middle schools are setting up these two short vacations, which are part of national education reform. This new vacation system has important educational meanings and brings great changes to students’ study and life. The core purpose of spring and autumn vacations is to follow the law of education and students’ physical and mental development. For a long time, students have faced heavy study pressure with long school terms and few breaks. The government hopes these short vacations can reduce students’ academic burden, let them relax and keep the idea of “health first”. Besides, the vacations guide students to go out of classrooms, get close to nature and take part in social or family activities to improve their comprehensive qualities. At present, this vacation system is being tried and promoted step by step in China. Some provinces like Zhejiang have fully carried out the vacations, while many other places are doing pilot projects. Most schools arrange spring vacation in April or May and autumn vacation in October or November, each lasting 3 to 5 days. However, due to different regional conditions, the implementation (实施) is not the same everywhere. Spring and autumn vacations have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they are good for students’ physical and mental health. Students can rest well, do outdoor exercises and spend happy time with families. They can also develop hobbies or make up for study weaknesses. On the other hand, some people worry that too many breaks may break study continuity, and some students may waste time on electronic products. In fact, as long as students arrange time properly, the vacations can help them balance study and rest. 1．What is the main purpose of spring and autumn vacations? A．To help students finish homework easily. B．To reduce students’ study pressure and keep them healthy. C．To let students play electronic products freely. D．To make schools have more free time 2．Which province has fully carried out the spring and autumn vacations? A．Guangdong. B．Zhejiang. C．Shandong. D．Jiangsu. 3．How long does each spring or autumn vacation usually last? A．1 to 2 days. B．3 to 5 days. C．6 to 7 days. D．8 to 10 days 4．What is the structure of the passage? A．Introduction → Advantages → Disadvantages B．Introduction → Purpose → Implementation → Influences → Conclusion C．Purpose → Implementation → Conclusion D．Introduction → Problems → Solutions 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．All schools in China have carried out the vacation system. B．Spring and autumn vacations are only for primary students. C．Proper time arrangement makes the vacations more helpful. D．The vacation system has no disadvantages. 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·德州临邑·二模）Known as the King of Flowers, the peony (牡丹) is very special in Chinese culture. It stands for prosperity, honor and beauty. It has a long history of more than 4,000 years and has greatly influenced China’s culture, art, traditional medicine and even economy. Its bright and colorful petals (花瓣) and elegant (优雅的) look make it popular among Chinese people of all ages. It is widely grown in many parts of China, from north to south. People first wrote about the peony in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, it mainly grew in the wild. People valued it much because it could be used as medicine and looked beautiful. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yangdi moved his capital to Luoyang. He asked people from all over the country to collect fine flowers, including peonies, to plant in his garden. This event turned the peony from a wild plant into a kind of flower people grow for its beauty. By the Tang Dynasty, the peony had become a symbol of wealth and status among the royal family and common people. It even got the name of “national flower” during that time. Many famous poets wrote a lot of poems to praise its beauty. Farmers also improved their planting skills to grow more kinds of peonies. In ancient Chinese culture, the peony was closely connected with the royal family and noble people. It showed the grand and elegant style of that time. It also appeared often in ancient books and art works, and became a common symbol of beauty and a strong country. There is a famous story about the peony: Empress Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, once asked all flowers to bloom in winter to celebrate a festival. But the peonies refused to follow her order. So she sent them to Luoyang. To people’s surprise, the peonies grew well in Luoyang and became a symbol of strength and beauty. Besides its rich cultural meaning, the peony is also useful in traditional Chinese medicine. Its root bark (树皮), called moutan cortex in Chinese, is a common and helpful medicine. It is often used to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation (炎症) and treat some common illnesses. Today, most Chinese people hope the peony can be China’s national flower. It even appeared in important international events like the 2008 Beijing Olympics, showing its special meaning to the world. Cities like Luoyang and Heze are known as “Peony Capitals”. They hold peony festivals every year, which attract millions of visitors and help local economies develop. What’s more, peonies are sent to more than 30 countries and regions, helping spread Chinese culture around the world. 1．What does the peony stand for in Chinese culture? A．Bravery and freedom. B．Prosperity, honor and beauty. C．Peace and friendship. D．Wisdom and courage 2．When did the peony become a kind of flower people grow for its beauty? A．In the Qin Dynasty. B．In the Tang Dynasty. C．In the Sui Dynasty. D．4,000 years ago 3．Why were peonies sent to Luoyang according to the story? A．They couldn’t grow well in the emperor’s garden. B．They refused to bloom in winter as Empress Wu Zetian asked. C．They were not popular with the royal family. D．They had no use in medicine. 4．What is moutan cortex used for in traditional Chinese medicine? A．Treating colds. B．Improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation. C．Improving eyesight. D．Relieving hunger. 5．Which of the following is NOT true about peonies today? A．Most Chinese people hope they can be China’s national flower. B．They are only grown in Luoyang and Heze. C．They are sent to more than 30 countries. D．They help local economies develop through festivals. Passage 2 （2026·山东泰安宁阳·二模）The drama Born to Be Alive brings us to a mysterious world. However, the show is just a window. Outside the window is the real Sanjiangyuan. It is not only the source region of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang rivers, but also the home of the brave guardians (守护者). Located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Hoh Xil is a mysterious part of the Sanjiangyuan area. With an altitude (海拔) of over 4,600 meters, Hoh Xil has thin air, and the wind cuts like a knife. Many years ago, the beautiful land faced a dark time. Thousands of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) were hunted for their wool. The land, once peaceful, was covered with blood. As a result, they almost disappeared from the earth. To stop the killing, a group of heroes stood up. They are the real-life models for the characters in the drama. One of them was Jetsun Dargye. In the 1990s, with old tools and little food, he and his team fought against cruel hunters in the freezing wild. In a final battle, he was shot but refused to fall. He froze into a statue (雕像) in the snow, holding his gun to protect the land. His death woke up the whole nation. In 1997, Hoh Xil was upgraded to a national nature reserve. Thanks to these efforts, the antelopes run free again. In the main area of Hoh Xil, the population of Tibetan antelopes has risen from less than 20,000 to over 70,000. The guardians used their lives to teach us a lesson: The “Tree of Life” does not grow on soil alone. It grows on the courage to protect and the wisdom to coexist (共存). Protecting nature is, indeed, protecting ourselves. 1．Why did thousands of Tibetan antelopes almost disappear many years ago? A．Because the air was very thin. B．Because they were hunted for their wool. C．Because the wind was very strong and cold. D．Because they lost their homes due to climate change. 2．What did Jetsun Dargye and his team do to protect the antelopes? A．They built many nature reserves. B．They fought against cruel hunters. C．They raised more Tibetan antelopes. D．They studied Tibetan antelopes in scientific labs. 3．What can we learn about Tibetan antelopes in Hoh Xil now? A．They still live in great danger. B．Their number has become smaller. C．Their population has increased greatly. D．They are kept in zoos for better protection. 4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To tell us to protect nature and animals. B．To ask us to watch the drama Born to Be Alive. C．To show how hard life is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D．To introduce the history of the Sanjiangyuan area. Passage 3 （25-26下·山东滨州滨城区·第二次质量检测）Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely known as a harmful greenhouse gas. Rising CO2 levels from burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) lead to global warming, polar ice melting and frequent extreme weather. But scientists now regard it as a valuable potential (潜在的) resource. Such a dual role makes CO2 a key focus of global climate action. To address this, the world is changing its idea: not only cut CO2 emissions (排放), but also make full use of it. This perfectly matches China’s “dual carbon” goals—reaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Turning CO2 into daily useful products has become an important way of long-term development. Nature can convert CO2 through plant photosynthesis (光合作用). However, this natural way has clear limits. The Calvin cycle in plants often wrongly binds O2 and wastes a lot of energy, so its efficiency (效率) is quite low. For this reason, scientists are trying to create better man-made methods. So far, great progress has been made worldwide. In 2016, German scientists created the CETCH cycle, far more efficient than the Calvin cycle. Later, the POAP cycle and THETA cycle showed faster, controllable CO2 conversion. China has also achieved major achievements. In 2021, Chinese scientists successfully made starch from CO2 without any plants. In 2025, a factory in Inner Mongolia started producing yeast protein with CO2, which helps save farmland. Besides, CO2 is further turned into biodegradable plastics and clean biofuels. These technological developments will reshape industrial production, reduce carbon waste and build a circular economy. They show clearly that human science can turn a climate threat into a powerful tool for a greener future. 1．Choose the correct information according to Paragraph 1. A．People have realized all the harms CO2 brings. B．People have widely made use of CO2 at present. C．More CO2 from fossil fuels causes environmental problems. 2．The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”. A．deal with B．write down C．depend on 3．Why does the writer mention the CETCH cycle, POAP cycle and THETA cycle? A．To explain how plant photosynthesis works. B．To show these methods are better than the natural one. C．To show China has made great achievements in CO2 use. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The harm of carbon dioxide to the environment. B．Different cycles used in plant photosynthesis. C．New progress and ways to make good use of CO2． 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·德州临邑·二模）Dear boys and girls, a beautiful and healthy smile is your best gift in youth! If you feel worried about your imperfect teeth, braces (牙箍) are here to help you change a more confident self. Wearing braces is not just about looking good — it also brings great benefits to your oral health. Types of bracesMetal (金属的) braces are still used, but you might get braces that are the same color as your teeth instead. There are even braces that go behind your teeth where no one can see them. The wires (金属线) used in braces today are also smaller, and they can straighten your teeth faster and more easily. ▲ Braces straighten your teeth by putting pressure on them over a period of time. The wires on your braces help to move your teeth, and the rubber bands (橡皮筋) help to correct the way your teeth line up. People wear braces for different lengths of time, but for most people it’s usually about two years. Life with bracesBraces act like magnets (磁铁) for food, so you need to keep your teeth clean. You’ll have to stay away from some foods, such as popcorn and candy. Sugary sodas (苏打水) and juice can cause problems too, because the sugar stays on your teeth and may cause tooth decay (蛀牙). Be sure to brush your teeth after meals. Don’t let your embarrassed teeth hold you back! Come to our hospital, let us help you straighten your teeth and light up your youth with a confident smile. Start your braces journey today — you’ll thank yourself for it! 1．How are new brace wires better? A．They are bigger and stronger. B．They have different colors to choose.

Passage 2 （2026·德州临邑·二模）On April 26, 2026, a historic moment unfolded at the London Marathon. Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe crossed the finish line of the 42.195-kilometer full marathon in 1 hour 59 minutes and 30 seconds, making him the first human to break the 2-hour marathon barrier (障碍). This amazing achievement marks a huge breakthrough in human physical limits. At the same time, robot marathons have also gained wide public attention, reflecting the fast development of modern technology and making people think deeply about tech power, the differences between humans and robots, and the future of technological development. Technology has greatly changed the world of marathon running, bringing new possibilities for both human athletes and robots. For humans, advanced scientific training methods, professional sports gear (齿轮), high-tech nutritional supplements (营养支持) and real-time physical data monitoring systems all help athletes push their physical limits repeatedly. Coaches can use big data to study athletes’ running postures (姿势), heart rates and muscle conditions, then make personalized training plans to lower injury risks and improve performance. For robots, modern technology makes long-distance running possible. Bionic (仿生的) robots are equipped with powerful motion control systems, strong flexible joints and smart sensors, keeping steady movement during long runs. Robot marathons also become a key test for robot tech, pushing advances in materials, batteries and AI algorithms (算法). The two sides have clear strengths and weaknesses in marathons. Robots stand out in physical endurance (耐力) and data processing — they never feel tired or painful, keep a steady speed for long and stay free from emotional influence. However, robots depend on batteries, often needing battery changes during races, and have poor adaptability to complex road conditions. Besides, they lack independent thinking and can only follow preset (预设) programs. Humans, however, have unique, irreplaceable advantages: flexible on-site strategy adjustment, strong willpower to fight through tiredness, and rich emotional experience. The only downside is that human bodies have clear limits and get tired or injured easily, requiring years of hard training to make progress. Technology should not be a tool for competition between humans and robots, but a bridge for mutual (相互的) progress. The goal of making marathon robots is not to replace human athletes, but to serve humans better, such as developing smart prosthetics (假肢) for disabled people or taking dangerous tasks in rescue and industry. Meanwhile, robot-related tech can also help improve human sports equipment and training tools. We should also balance tech and human spirit, as the true meaning of human marathon lies in perseverance (毅力) and the courage to challenge limits. In conclusion, both the human marathon breakthrough and robot marathon development show the strong power of technology. Humans and robots have their own strengths and cannot replace each other. We should use technology wisely to serve human needs, combining human spirit with tech innovation to build a better world. 1．What helps human athletes break physical limits in training? A．High-tech training tools and data monitoring. B．Frequent marathon races. C．Running with robots. D．Taking more rest. 2．The underlined word “adaptability” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．the ability to change and deal with new situations B．the speed of running long distances C．the power of feeling tired or painful D．the way of using batteries for energy 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Humans have unique advantages over robots. B．Human bodies are easy to get tired and injured. C．Robots can think independently like humans.

Passage 3 （2026·山东青岛市南·二模） Do you remember playing the “I Spy” game on long car rides as a kid? A color walk is very similar. You pick a color and then look for things in that color while you walk. This activity is a kind of walking meditation (冥想). It is also a popular trend on TikTok with millions of views. There are many benefits of walking meditation. Many adults do not get enough exercise. Taking a 30-minute walk five times a week is good for your health. Walking can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and help you sleep better. It can also make you feel less tired and get sick less often. A 2018 study found that a 10-minute brisk (轻快的), meditative walk can reduce stress and improve mood. Another study in 2022 showed that walking in nature helps with anxiety and depression. For some people, sitting meditation is very difficult. They may feel bored or restless. A walking meditation is easier because you move your body and focus on a simple task. A color walk keeps you in the present moment. This is especially helpful for people who often feel worried or keep thinking about problems. Looking for colors around you stops you from thinking about stress. So how can we take a color walk? First, go outside without music or podcasts. Focus on what you see, hear, and smell. Second, pick one color, such as red, blue, yellow, or green. Then look for different shades of that color. For example, if you choose green, you might see grass, tree leaves, a green car, or someone’s green backpack. Enjoy finding each item. You can change colors every 10 minutes or walk with a friend. There is no wrong way to do it. The most important thing is to get outside, exercise, and practice mindfulness. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing the health benefits of walking. B．By asking a question about TikTok. C．By giving an example of a color walk. D．By comparing color walk to a game. 2．The underlined word “depression” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________ in Chinese. A．乐观开朗 B．情绪低落 C．积极向上 D．胆战心惊 3．According to the passage, why do some people prefer a color walk to sitting meditation? A．Because it requires less time. B．Because it doesn’t need any preparation. C．Because it can be done with a friend. D．Because it’s about moving and focusing on a simple task. 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of color walk? A．Increasing your walking speed. B．Lowering blood pressure. C．Reducing anxiety. D．Keeping you in the present moment. 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce a popular childhood game “I Spy”. B．To explain the health benefits of sitting meditation. C．To describe how to do a color walk and its advantages. D．To compare different studies about walking in nature. Passage 5 （2026·山东德州禹城·中考模拟）A magnifying glass is a cool tool that makes tiny things look bigger. It uses a special curved (弯曲的) piece of glass or plastic called a lens. This lens helps you see details you might miss with just your eyes. People use magnifying glasses for many things. For example, they are great for looking closely at postage stamps or tiny insects. To make things clear, you need to hold the magnifying glass at the right distance from your eye and the object. This is called bringing the object into focus. Most magnifying glasses also have a handle (柄) to make them easy to hold. Did you know that a telescope is like a super advanced magnifying glass? It uses several lenses to make faraway things look closer. A pair of binoculars is similar, but it has two telescopes, one for each eye. Even eyeglasses use lenses to help people see clearly! 1．Which option (选项) shows the correct match for ①, ② and ③ in the picture? A．Object, lens and focus. B．Focus, lens and object.

They are talking about rules such as limiting or stopping tourist ships. But a new group of countries are ready to welcome more international visitors. Countries in Africa, South America, and Asia are taking different steps: they are developing airports, relaxing visa (签证) rules, and starting special activities to attract visitors. Tourism is an important part of the global economy(经济). For example, in 2025, nearly $12 trillion of the global economy is from tourism, around 10% of the global GDP. Tourism also created one-in-three new jobs worldwide, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. For this reason, the countries that are opening their doors to tourists can learn from those countries whose tourism grew too fast. One such country is Namibia. It is one of the driest and least populated countries on Earth. It has long attracted travelers looking for unusual experiences. In recent years, it has spent more money on building tourist facilities(设施). Since 2019, over N$136 million has been spent on road improvement in national parks. The Namibia Tourism Board has also started a travel activity to attract visitors from Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Namibia is excellent for wildlife watching. Joanna Reeve from Intrepid Travel said it is less crowded than other safari parks, so tourists can often have private views. The country is also well-known for green tourism. More than 80 local reserves (保护区) cover 20% of its land, which is a successful model of community-based wildlife management. This attracts visitors who care about the environment. Jarrod Kyte from Steppes Travel mentioned that there has been a growing rise in need for Namibia. The NamibRand Nature Reserve, a Dark Sky Reserve, offers clear views of the Milky Way(银河). Better local airlines make travel plans easier. Kyte advises first-time visitors to mix a Namibia trip with a nearby country visit. This will create a more exciting Southern Africa adventure. In conclusion, as the tourism changes slowly, countries like Namibia are becoming as exciting new places, offering unique experiences while also focusing on environmentally friendly growth. 1．Why are some famous cities talking about such rules? A．To solve the problem of over-tourism. B．To develop local economy quickly. C．To create more new jobs in the cities. D．To attract more foreign visitors. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．Tourism will become the largest industry worldwide. B．Tourism matters less to the economy and job markets. C．Countries with fast-growing tourism are worth learning from. D．More countries will close their doors to foreign tourists soon. 3．If you travel to Namibia, what can you most probably experience? A．Modern airports and strict visa rules. B．Quiet nature and great star-filled sky. C．Crowded parks with amazing wildlife. D．Free hotels and delicious local food. 4．Why is Namibia good for wildlife watching according to Joanna Reeve? A．It has many new tourist facilities. B．It has the cheapest but greatest airlines. C．It has more kinds of wild animals. D．It has fewer visitors but more reserves. 5．What does the text mainly tell us? A．Tourism is worth spending more money. B．Namibia develops its tourism in a proper way. C．Tourism brings both wealth and trouble to Namibia. D．The other African countries should copy Namibia’s way. 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·济南槐荫区·调研）Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat your fill of these delicious berries, take a good look at them. Then ask yourself: Are blueberries really blue? For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully peel the skin (表皮) off one, you’ll see that the inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But as soon as you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? Scientists explain that colors can be created in two different ways. The first is through pigments (色素). A pigment shows the color of the light it does not absorb. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t absorb green light. It sends it out instead while absorbing blue and red light. Plants prefer to absorb blue light because it has more energy than any other light. However, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. The second way to make color is through “structural color (结构色)”. This happens when the structure of a surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the thin coats. These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes — a perfect example of structural color. Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ready, but the plants build a thin coat of wax (蜡) on their outside. This coat is only four-thousandths of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are drawn to the rare (罕见的) color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds (种子) far and wide. Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep while the science behind it runs much deeper. 1．What happens to a blueberry after you gently rub its outside? A．It appears black. B．It becomes reddish-purple. C．It turns white inside. D．It remains a darker blue. 2．What does the underlined word “absorb” most probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Give out. B．Take in. C．Fall off. D．Wash away. 3．Why does the author mention a CD in Paragraph 4? A．To prove that CDs are colorful. B．To show that CDs are made of wax. C．To explain what structural color is. D．To suggest that pigments are not important. 4．How does the blue color of blueberries help the plant? A．It attracts birds that spread the seeds. B．It helps the fruit grow bigger. C．It keeps the fruit fresh for longer. D．It protects the fruit from insects. 5．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe how to grow blueberries. B．To argue that blueberries are not healthy. C．To compare blueberries with other fruits. D．To explain the color that blueberries appear. Passage 2 （25-26下·山东滨州滨城区·第二次质量检测）After nearly two years of expectation, a tiny new life is already making a big splash and giving people around the world a reason to smile. At Smithsonian’s National Zoo, a baby Asian elephant named Linh Mai is winning hearts ahead of her first public appearance on April 22．In a new video shared with TODAY, the playful calf can be seen enjoying a bubble（泡沫）bath, one of many milestones in her first few months of life. Linh Mai was born on February 2 to her mother, Nhi Linh, marking an important moment for the zoo. She is the first elephant calf born there in nearly 25 years, making her arrival especially meaningful for both the animal care team and protection work. And her birth carries even greater significance beyond the zoo. With fewer than 50,000 Asian elephants remaining in the wild, each new calf represents hope for the future of the species — and a reminder of how important protection work truly is. As Linh Mai continues to grow, the team caring for her is already seeing her personality（性格）come to life. “This past week on April 2, our Asian elephant calf Linh Mai turned two months old. It’s a major milestone for her and for our team, who have been caring for her around the clock and ensuring she has everything she needs to thrive,” the zoo shared. They added, “One of the most meaningful parts of caring for elephants is getting to know their personalities. While Linh Mai is still young, parts of her personality are beginning to shine through. I can say with confidence that she is rambunctious, sassy and playful.” With her big personality and even bigger significance, Linh Mai is already making a lasting impression, and her journey is just getting started. 1．What does the underlined sentence “a tiny new life is already making a big splash” mean?

Passage 3 （2026·山东济南历城·二模）A major breakthrough has been made in China’s space biology research—a female mouse that traveled to space has successfully given birth to healthy babies on Earth. This achievement marks an important step forward in understanding how space environments affect the way animals have babies. The four mice for the experiment were sent into space on October 31, 2025, aboard the Shenzhou 21 spaceship. They were selected from 300 candidates after strict physical and behavioral tests. They lived in a special home on China’s space station for about 14 days. During their stay, they were looked after carefully and had enough food and water. After returning safely to Earth on November 14, one female mouse became pregnant naturally and gave birth to nine baby mice on December 10. Six of the newborns have survived (存活), which is a normal survival rate (比率). However, their journey was not without difficulties. Because the schedule was changed, the mice’s stay in space was longer than planned. As a result, the food for the mice was not enough. To solve this difficulty, the ground research team acted quickly. The team developed methods to address both water and food issues. For food, soy milk was chosen as a safe and good replacement (代替) from the astronauts’ supplies. They worked together around the clock to make sure the mice stayed healthy. During the task, an AI-powered system played a key role. It tracked (跟踪) the mice’s movement, feeding, and sleep patterns closely. This up-to-date information helped researchers make timely decisions and keep the mice healthy. For example, when the system showed that the mice were moving less than usual, the team would ________. This task not only shows that short-term space travel does not harm mice’s ability to have babies, but also gives useful samples for future research. Scientists will keep studying the babies’ growth and may even find out whether they can have their own babies, in order to understand how long-term space travel affects living things. 1．The writer uses the numbers nine and six mainly to ________ in Paragraph 2. A．show the exact birth time of the baby mice B．explain the living environment of newborn mice C．prove the survival situation is at a normal level D．compare different results of similar space research 2．Why was bean milk used in the space task? A．It could replace mice’s food in a safe way. B．It was kept for daily tests in the space station. C．It greatly improved the mice’s health condition. D．It helped cut down the mice’s space stay time. 3．Which of the following can be put in the blank? A．change the AI system to track them better B．quickly check their condition and make changes C．provide more soy milk for them to drink D．send new food to the space station at once 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Scientists will focus on the babies’ long-term growth only. B．The baby mice will certainly have their own babies soon. C．Short-term space travel has no effect on all living things. D．The task helps research long-term space travel’s influence. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．New feeding ways are created for space animals. B．A space mouse experiment makes great achievement. C．AI systems control daily work on the space station. D．Space travel has no influence on living things. Passage 4 （2026·山东济南历城·二模）Bananas are one of the most loved fruits on earth. But every so often, we hear people ask, “Is the fruit dying out soon?” On the face of it, the question sounds silly. However, if you go a little deeper, there’s more to it than that. 99% of the bananas we sell and eat today are Cavendish bananas. Farmers all choose to grow this type of banana because it tastes the best-sweet, creamy. What’s more, its thick skin enables it to travel well, so it’s perfect for the global fruit market. However, it’s extremely hard for Cavendish bananas to produce seeds (种子). The only way for farmers to quickly grow more bananas is to plant offshoots (分枝). This produces plenty of bananas for sale, and the quality doesn’t change much. The problem is all the banana plants are actually the “clones” of their parent plants. They all have the same genes (基因) and the same weak points! If one of them can be easily harmed by a certain disease, all of them can. Now, a serious banana disease, called “Panama TR4”, has already been found. It can easily harm nearly all Cavendish bananas. If it continues to spread, there will probably be very few Cavendish bananas left in the world. History can give us a clear warning. In the early 20th century, Gros Michel bananas were the most popular. Like Cavendish bananas, they were grown almost entirely from offshoots. After an old disease started spreading in the 1950s, Gros Michel bananas disappeared from supermarket shelves within ten years. But there is also a difference between the two cases. After Gros Michel bananas nearly died out, we still had Cavendish bananas to switch to. Right now, there are no replacements (替代品) ready for large farms. Although a world without bananas sounds like a sci-fi (科幻) story, we have seen this happen before. 1．Why do farmers prefer Cavendish bananas? A．They grow much faster. B．They are tasty and easy to transport. C．They have no seeds. D．They can stop serious diseases. 2．The underlined word “clone” in Paragraph 3 means ________. A．a copy B．a model C．a type D．a subject 3．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Bananas will disappear in sci-fi films. B．The old banana case gives us a warning. C．People grow bananas only for money. D．Farmers stopped growing Gros Michel bananas. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Banana diseases are impossible to control forever. B．It is risky to depend on only one kind of banana. C．People will never lose bananas in the future. D．All bananas in the world have the same genes now. 5．What is the best title for the passage?

It is a folk art form that mixes opera, dance and martial arts (武术). It is quite popular in Guangdong Province in South China and Puning is home to over 100 Yingge teams. In 2006, Puning Yingge dance was listed as part of China’s national intangible cultural heritage. The Yingge dance usually gets inspiration from The Water Margin (水浒传), one of China’s Four Great Classical Novels. During main festivals, the sound of Yingge drums fills cities and villages. The dancers wear colorful traditional costumes, put on beautiful facial makeup (化妆) and dance joyfully. When watching the dance, people can feel a strong sense of courage and power, along with an energetic and lively feeling. Typically, the lead dancer acts like a snake, which is a symbol of flexibility (灵活性) and wisdom, giving the dance deep cultural meaning. Holding a cloth snake, the lead dancer copies the snake’s movements. When he makes his way through the dance team, he also guides the team’s direction. His fine steps and skillful movements make him the center of the performance. During performances, dancers hold the Yingge sticks at their mid-points, shaking them and forming the shape of number 8. At the same time, their fingers create continuous movements. Moreover, each dancer jumps sideways and hits the sticks to the drum beats as if they are riding a horse. Their heads and bodies move naturally to the beat, too. Traditionally, only adult men could join the Yingge teams. Today, however, the dance has opened its doors to both men and women. Modern dance has also been introduced, yet the heart of the tradition remains untouched.

It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping yin and yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness. One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture (针灸). Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is cooperating with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center. TCM is not only for patients. More and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit. TCM comes from the past but also keeps up with the times. Now it has a new look and connects people around the world in modern ways. 1．What does TCM focus on according to Paragraph 1? A．Using different kinds of medicine. B．Using high-tech medical methods. C．Keeping the balance between yin and yang. 2．What can we know about acupuncture from the text? A．It can treat all kinds of diseases. B．It looks scary but it doesn’t hurt at all. C．Doctors put thick needles into patients’ skin roughly. 3．How does Paragraph 3 tell us TCM is getting popular around the world? A．By giving examples. B．By listing numbers. C．By showing opinions. 4．What is the purpose of this text? A．To explain how TCM helps people keep healthy. B．To introduce TCM and its growing influence around the world. C．To tell us the differences between TCM and modern hospital medicine. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中医（TCM）的核心理念、传统疗法（草药、针灸），以及它在国际上的影响力和在当代年轻人中的流行趋势，展现了中医与时俱进的发展面貌。 【详解】15．根据第一段第三句“TCM focuses on keeping yin and yang in balance...”可知，中医专注于保持阴阳平衡。选项C“Keeping the balance between yin and yang”与原文表述一致。 1．根据第二段关于针灸的描述“Acupuncture uses thin needles... Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all.”可知，针灸虽然听起来可怕，但一点也不痛。 2．第三段通过列举黑龙江黑河中医院受俄罗斯患者欢迎的具体案例（如Yelena的经历），以及加拿大学院与三亚中医院合作的例子，来说明中医在世界范围内越来越受欢迎。这种通过具体事例来支撑观点的方法属于“举例子”。 3．文章第一段介绍了中医的定义和理念，第二段介绍了疗法，第三段讲述了中医在国际上的流行，第四段讲述了中医在年轻人中的受欢迎程度，最后一段总结中医与时俱进连接世界。整篇文章旨在介绍中医及其在世界范围内日益增长的影响力。 Passage 3 （2026·济宁鱼台·二模）Have you heard of the phrase “Becoming Chinese”?

Why? It’s because we’re looking into the world of sleep cycles (周期) in light of World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21. Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles, experiencing five to six each night. At first, you enter a light stage of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. This is when your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM, 快速眼动) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens. After REM sleep, the cycle repeats. Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator can help you avoid this. It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time. Developed by the UK company Hillarys, this smart calculator takes into account (考虑到) the sleep cycles our bodies go through each night. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, simply input your wake-up time, and the calculator will work its magic, suggesting the perfect bedtime to make sure that you rise and shine with a spring in your step. It’s also worth noting that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time, particularly by using light and temperature. If we wake up too late, we may feel a bit like a zombie (僵尸). That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping. 1．How many stages does each sleep cycle have? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What is likely to happen to you during the second stage of a sleep cycle? A．Your muscles become relaxed. B．You sleep deeply with a high heart rate. C．Your temperature goes down. D．You might have a lot of dreams. 3．What will happen if you wake up in a “wrong” stage? A．Your eyes will move rapidly. B．You may lose energy quickly. C．You may have bad dreams. D．You may not be full of energy. 4．What can Sleep Calculator do for users? A．Offer you the best bedtime to follow. B．Prevent you from dreaming a lot. C．Wake you up when you oversleep. D．Make you fall asleep faster. 5．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．You can go to bed at anytime as long as you have 8 hours of sleep. B．The longer you sleep, the better you will feel. C．A good sleep needs to follow your body clock. D．It’s the best sleep if you wake up naturally. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了睡眠周期以及一款睡眠计算器产品，它可以根据起床时间计算合适的入睡时间。 1．第二段“At first, you enter a light stage of sleep... Then, the body temperature drops...”，第三段“ Next comes deep sleep.…Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM, 快速眼动) sleep stage.”指出，每个睡眠周期有四个阶段。 2．第二段“Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows.”说明在睡眠周期的第二阶段体温下降，心率减慢。 3．第四段“Waking up in the morning in the ‘wrong’ stage can make you feel especially tired.”，说明早上在“错误”的阶段醒来会让你感到特别疲惫，也就是说能量不充足。 4．第四段最后一句给出答案：“It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time.”计算器能根据你的起床时间为你计算出完美的就寝时间。 5．最后两段内容告诉我们不应该随心所欲地开始你的睡眠周期，故可推知，良好的睡眠需要遵循生物钟。 Passage 6 （2026·德州临邑·二模）Nowadays, spring and autumn vacations have become a hot topic in Chinese basic education. More and more primary and middle schools are setting up these two short vacations, which are part of national education reform. This new vacation system has important educational meanings and brings great changes to students’ study and life. The core purpose of spring and autumn vacations is to follow the law of education and students’ physical and mental development. For a long time, students have faced heavy study pressure with long school terms and few breaks. The government hopes these short vacations can reduce students’ academic burden, let them relax and keep the idea of “health first”. Besides, the vacations guide students to go out of classrooms, get close to nature and take part in social or family activities to improve their comprehensive qualities. At present, this vacation system is being tried and promoted step by step in China. Some provinces like Zhejiang have fully carried out the vacations, while many other places are doing pilot projects. Most schools arrange spring vacation in April or May and autumn vacation in October or November, each lasting 3 to 5 days. However, due to different regional conditions, the implementation (实施) is not the same everywhere. Spring and autumn vacations have both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, they are good for students’ physical and mental health. Students can rest well, do outdoor exercises and spend happy time with families. They can also develop hobbies or make up for study weaknesses. On the other hand, some people worry that too many breaks may break study continuity, and some students may waste time on electronic products. In fact, as long as students arrange time properly, the vacations can help them balance study and rest. 1．What is the main purpose of spring and autumn vacations? A．To help students finish homework easily. B．To reduce students’ study pressure and keep them healthy. C．To let students play electronic products freely. D．To make schools have more free time 2．Which province has fully carried out the spring and autumn vacations? A．Guangdong. B．Zhejiang. C．Shandong. D．Jiangsu. 3．How long does each spring or autumn vacation usually last? A．1 to 2 days. B．3 to 5 days. C．6 to 7 days. D．8 to 10 days 4．What is the structure of the passage? A．Introduction → Advantages → Disadvantages B．Introduction → Purpose → Implementation → Influences → Conclusion C．Purpose → Implementation → Conclusion D．Introduction → Problems → Solutions 5．What can we infer from the passage? A．All schools in China have carried out the vacation system. B．Spring and autumn vacations are only for primary students. C．Proper time arrangement makes the vacations more helpful. D．The vacation system has no disadvantages. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国基础教育中春秋假的目的、实施情况、优缺点及影响。 【详解】53．文章第三段指出“The government hopes these short vacations can reduce students’ academic burden, let them relax and keep the idea of ‘health first’.”，说明春秋假的主要目的是减轻学生的学习压力并保持健康。 1．文章第四段指出“Some provinces like Zhejiang have fully carried out the vacations”，说明浙江省已全面实施春秋假。 2．文章第四段指出“each lasting 3 to 5 days”，说明每个春秋假通常持续3至5天。 3．文章第一段引出话题（Introduction），第二段介绍意义，第三段说明目的（Purpose），第四段说明实施情况（Implementation），第五段讨论优缺点及影响（Influences），最后一句作为总结（Conclusion）。因此结构为Introduction → Purpose → Implementation → Influences → Conclusion。 4．文章最后一段指出“as long as students arrange time properly, the vacations can help them balance study and rest”，说明合理的时间安排能使假期更有帮助。 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·德州临邑·二模）Known as the King of Flowers, the peony (牡丹) is very special in Chinese culture. It stands for prosperity, honor and beauty. It has a long history of more than 4,000 years and has greatly influenced China’s culture, art, traditional medicine and even economy. Its bright and colorful petals (花瓣) and elegant (优雅的) look make it popular among Chinese people of all ages. It is widely grown in many parts of China, from north to south. People first wrote about the peony in the Qin Dynasty. At that time, it mainly grew in the wild. People valued it much because it could be used as medicine and looked beautiful. In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yangdi moved his capital to Luoyang. He asked people from all over the country to collect fine flowers, including peonies, to plant in his garden. This event turned the peony from a wild plant into a kind of flower people grow for its beauty. By the Tang Dynasty, the peony had become a symbol of wealth and status among the royal family and common people. It even got the name of “national flower” during that time. Many famous poets wrote a lot of poems to praise its beauty. Farmers also improved their planting skills to grow more kinds of peonies. In ancient Chinese culture, the peony was closely connected with the royal family and noble people. It showed the grand and elegant style of that time. It also appeared often in ancient books and art works, and became a common symbol of beauty and a strong country. There is a famous story about the peony: Empress Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, once asked all flowers to bloom in winter to celebrate a festival. But the peonies refused to follow her order. So she sent them to Luoyang. To people’s surprise, the peonies grew well in Luoyang and became a symbol of strength and beauty. Besides its rich cultural meaning, the peony is also useful in traditional Chinese medicine. Its root bark (树皮), called moutan cortex in Chinese, is a common and helpful medicine. It is often used to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation (炎症) and treat some common illnesses. Today, most Chinese people hope the peony can be China’s national flower. It even appeared in important international events like the 2008 Beijing Olympics, showing its special meaning to the world. Cities like Luoyang and Heze are known as “Peony Capitals”. They hold peony festivals every year, which attract millions of visitors and help local economies develop. What’s more, peonies are sent to more than 30 countries and regions, helping spread Chinese culture around the world. 1．What does the peony stand for in Chinese culture? A．Bravery and freedom. B．Prosperity, honor and beauty. C．Peace and friendship. D．Wisdom and courage 2．When did the peony become a kind of flower people grow for its beauty? A．In the Qin Dynasty. B．In the Tang Dynasty. C．In the Sui Dynasty. D．4,000 years ago 3．Why were peonies sent to Luoyang according to the story? A．They couldn’t grow well in the emperor’s garden. B．They refused to bloom in winter as Empress Wu Zetian asked. C．They were not popular with the royal family. D．They had no use in medicine. 4．What is moutan cortex used for in traditional Chinese medicine? A．Treating colds. B．Improving blood circulation and reducing inflammation. C．Improving eyesight. D．Relieving hunger. 5．Which of the following is NOT true about peonies today? A．Most Chinese people hope they can be China’s national flower. B．They are only grown in Luoyang and Heze. C．They are sent to more than 30 countries. D．They help local economies develop through festivals. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了牡丹在中国文化中的象征意义、历史发展、药用价值以及现代影响。 【详解】1．文章第一段指出“It stands for prosperity, honor and beauty.”，说明牡丹象征着繁荣、荣誉和美丽。 1．文章第二段指出“In the Sui Dynasty... This event turned the peony from a wild plant into a kind of flower people grow for its beauty.”，说明在隋朝，牡丹开始被人们因其美丽而种植。 2．文章第四段指出“Empress Wu Zetian... asked all flowers to bloom in winter... But the peonies refused to follow her order. So she sent them to Luoyang.”，说明牡丹因拒绝在冬季开花而被送到洛阳。 3．文章第五段指出“Its root bark... is often used to improve blood circulation, reduce inflammation and treat some common illnesses.”，说明moutan cortex用于改善血液循环和减少炎症。 4．文章第一段指出“It is widely grown in many parts of China, from north to south.”，第六段提到Luoyang和Heze是“Peony Capitals”，但并未说牡丹只在这两个城市种植，因此B项错误。 Passage 2 （2026·山东泰安宁阳·二模）The drama Born to Be Alive brings us to a mysterious world. However, the show is just a window. Outside the window is the real Sanjiangyuan. It is not only the source region of the Yangtze, Yellow, and Lancang rivers, but also the home of the brave guardians (守护者). Located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Hoh Xil is a mysterious part of the Sanjiangyuan area. With an altitude (海拔) of over 4,600 meters, Hoh Xil has thin air, and the wind cuts like a knife. Many years ago, the beautiful land faced a dark time. Thousands of Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) were hunted for their wool. The land, once peaceful, was covered with blood. As a result, they almost disappeared from the earth. To stop the killing, a group of heroes stood up. They are the real-life models for the characters in the drama. One of them was Jetsun Dargye. In the 1990s, with old tools and little food, he and his team fought against cruel hunters in the freezing wild. In a final battle, he was shot but refused to fall. He froze into a statue (雕像) in the snow, holding his gun to protect the land. His death woke up the whole nation. In 1997, Hoh Xil was upgraded to a national nature reserve. Thanks to these efforts, the antelopes run free again. In the main area of Hoh Xil, the population of Tibetan antelopes has risen from less than 20,000 to over 70,000. The guardians used their lives to teach us a lesson: The “Tree of Life” does not grow on soil alone. It grows on the courage to protect and the wisdom to coexist (共存). Protecting nature is, indeed, protecting ourselves. 1．Why did thousands of Tibetan antelopes almost disappear many years ago? A．Because the air was very thin. B．Because they were hunted for their wool. C．Because the wind was very strong and cold. D．Because they lost their homes due to climate change. 2．What did Jetsun Dargye and his team do to protect the antelopes? A．They built many nature reserves. B．They fought against cruel hunters. C．They raised more Tibetan antelopes. D．They studied Tibetan antelopes in scientific labs. 3．What can we learn about Tibetan antelopes in Hoh Xil now? A．They still live in great danger. B．Their number has become smaller. C．Their population has increased greatly. D．They are kept in zoos for better protection. 4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To tell us to protect nature and animals. B．To ask us to watch the drama Born to Be Alive. C．To show how hard life is on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. D．To introduce the history of the Sanjiangyuan area. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文以戏剧《生万物》为引，讲述了三江源可可西里地区藏羚羊的濒危危机，以及以杰桑・索南达杰为代表的守护者们用生命守护这片土地的故事，最终传递出“保护自然就是保护我们自己”的核心理念。 【详解】11．文中第二段提到“Thousands of Tibetan antelopes were hunted for their wool. The land, once peaceful, was covered with blood. As a result, they almost disappeared from the earth.”，直接说明了藏羚羊几乎消失的原因是被猎杀获取羊毛。 1．文中第三段提到“Jetsun Dargye and his team fought against cruel hunters in the freezing wild.”，说明他们对抗残忍的偷猎者来保护藏羚羊。 2．文中第四段提到“the population of Tibetan antelopes has risen from less than 20,000 to over 70,000”，说明藏羚羊的数量大幅增加。 3．全文通过讲述藏羚羊的保护故事，结尾点明主旨“Protecting nature is, indeed, protecting ourselves.”，作者的写作目的是呼吁人们保护自然与动物。 Passage 3 （25-26下·山东滨州滨城区·第二次质量检测）Carbon dioxide (CO2) is widely known as a harmful greenhouse gas. Rising CO2 levels from burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) lead to global warming, polar ice melting and frequent extreme weather. But scientists now regard it as a valuable potential (潜在的) resource. Such a dual role makes CO2 a key focus of global climate action. To address this, the world is changing its idea: not only cut CO2 emissions (排放), but also make full use of it. This perfectly matches China’s “dual carbon” goals—reaching the peak of carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. Turning CO2 into daily useful products has become an important way of long-term development. Nature can convert CO2 through plant photosynthesis (光合作用). However, this natural way has clear limits. The Calvin cycle in plants often wrongly binds O2 and wastes a lot of energy, so its efficiency (效率) is quite low. For this reason, scientists are trying to create better man-made methods. So far, great progress has been made worldwide. In 2016, German scientists created the CETCH cycle, far more efficient than the Calvin cycle. Later, the POAP cycle and THETA cycle showed faster, controllable CO2 conversion. China has also achieved major achievements. In 2021, Chinese scientists successfully made starch from CO2 without any plants. In 2025, a factory in Inner Mongolia started producing yeast protein with CO2, which helps save farmland. Besides, CO2 is further turned into biodegradable plastics and clean biofuels. These technological developments will reshape industrial production, reduce carbon waste and build a circular economy. They show clearly that human science can turn a climate threat into a powerful tool for a greener future. 1．Choose the correct information according to Paragraph 1. A．People have realized all the harms CO2 brings. B．People have widely made use of CO2 at present. C．More CO2 from fossil fuels causes environmental problems. 2．The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “________”. A．deal with B．write down C．depend on 3．Why does the writer mention the CETCH cycle, POAP cycle and THETA cycle? A．To explain how plant photosynthesis works. B．To show these methods are better than the natural one. C．To show China has made great achievements in CO2 use. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The harm of carbon dioxide to the environment. B．Different cycles used in plant photosynthesis. C．New progress and ways to make good use of CO2． 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍二氧化碳兼具温室危害与可利用资源双重属性，围绕双碳目标，对比自然固碳局限，介绍多国人工转化二氧化碳的技术突破，阐述将二氧化碳资源化利用的价值与意义。 【详解】77．第一段第二句“Rising CO2 levels from burning fossil fuels lead to global warming, polar ice melting and frequent extreme weather.”说明燃烧化石燃料产生的上升的二氧化碳水平导致了全球变暖等环境问题。 1．第二段“To address this, the world is changing its idea: not only cut CO2 emissions, but also make full use of it.”中“this”指代第一段提到的二氧化碳带来的危害。为了“应对/解决”这个问题，世界正在改变理念。因此“address”在此处意为“处理、解决”，与“deal with”同义。 2．第三段末尾提到自然光合作用效率低，科学家试图创造更好的人造方法。第四段紧接着列举CETCH、POAP和THETA循环，旨在展示这些人造方法比自然方法更高效、进步更大。 3．文章首段引出二氧化碳的双重角色，随后段落详细介绍了全球及中国在将二氧化碳转化为有用产品方面的科学进展、新方法及其意义。C选项“New progress and ways to make good use of CO2”最能概括全文主旨。 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （2026·德州临邑·二模）Dear boys and girls, a beautiful and healthy smile is your best gift in youth! If you feel worried about your imperfect teeth, braces (牙箍) are here to help you change a more confident self. Wearing braces is not just about looking good — it also brings great benefits to your oral health. Types of bracesMetal (金属的) braces are still used, but you might get braces that are the same color as your teeth instead. There are even braces that go behind your teeth where no one can see them. The wires (金属线) used in braces today are also smaller, and they can straighten your teeth faster and more easily. ▲ Braces straighten your teeth by putting pressure on them over a period of time. The wires on your braces help to move your teeth, and the rubber bands (橡皮筋) help to correct the way your teeth line up. People wear braces for different lengths of time, but for most people it’s usually about two years. Life with bracesBraces act like magnets (磁铁) for food, so you need to keep your teeth clean. You’ll have to stay away from some foods, such as popcorn and candy. Sugary sodas (苏打水) and juice can cause problems too, because the sugar stays on your teeth and may cause tooth decay (蛀牙). Be sure to brush your teeth after meals. Don’t let your embarrassed teeth hold you back! Come to our hospital, let us help you straighten your teeth and light up your youth with a confident smile. Start your braces journey today — you’ll thank yourself for it! 1．How are new brace wires better? A．They are bigger and stronger. B．They have different colors to choose. C．They are smaller and work better. D．They are cheaper and easier to make. 2．Which of the following would be a good title for the blank? A．What braces are made of B．Why people need braces C．How to wear braces D．How braces work 3．Why does the writer say “Braces act like magnets for food”? A．Because food can break braces easily. B．Because braces can attract metal things. C．Because food gets stuck in braces easily. D．Because braces are made of magnetic materials. 4．What should you do when you wear braces? A．Brush your teeth after every meal. B．Take your braces off while eating meals. C．Drink sugary sodas with a straw. D．Clean your braces with special brushes. 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To help children correct their teeth. B．To tell children how to keep healthy. C．To invite kids to come to correct their teeth. D．To introduce the hospital to the patients. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了牙箍（braces）的类型、工作原理、佩戴时长以及日常护理方法，并鼓励青少年矫正牙齿，获得健康自信的微笑。 【详解】58．第二段明确写道“The wires used in braces today are also smaller, and they can straighten your teeth faster and more easily.” 因此新金属线更小、效果更好。 1．空白处后一段详细说明了牙箍施加压力、移动牙齿、用橡皮筋矫正牙列的过程，因此标题应是“牙箍的工作原理”。 2．第四段开头说“Braces act like magnets for food, so you need to keep your teeth clean.”，意思是食物容易卡在牙箍上，因此要清洁牙齿，并不是真的具有磁性。 3．第四段最后一句“Be sure to brush your teeth after meals.” 因此饭后刷牙是正确的。 4．文章最后明确呼吁“Come to our hospital, let us help you straighten your teeth…”，因此主要目的是邀请孩子们来医院矫正牙齿。 Passage 2 （2026·德州临邑·二模）On April 26, 2026, a historic moment unfolded at the London Marathon. Kenyan runner Sabastian Sawe crossed the finish line of the 42.195-kilometer full marathon in 1 hour 59 minutes and 30 seconds, making him the first human to break the 2-hour marathon barrier (障碍). This amazing achievement marks a huge breakthrough in human physical limits. At the same time, robot marathons have also gained wide public attention, reflecting the fast development of modern technology and making people think deeply about tech power, the differences between humans and robots, and the future of technological development. Technology has greatly changed the world of marathon running, bringing new possibilities for both human athletes and robots. For humans, advanced scientific training methods, professional sports gear (齿轮), high-tech nutritional supplements (营养支持) and real-time physical data monitoring systems all help athletes push their physical limits repeatedly. Coaches can use big data to study athletes’ running postures (姿势), heart rates and muscle conditions, then make personalized training plans to lower injury risks and improve performance. For robots, modern technology makes long-distance running possible. Bionic (仿生的) robots are equipped with powerful motion control systems, strong flexible joints and smart sensors, keeping steady movement during long runs. Robot marathons also become a key test for robot tech, pushing advances in materials, batteries and AI algorithms (算法). The two sides have clear strengths and weaknesses in marathons. Robots stand out in physical endurance (耐力) and data processing — they never feel tired or painful, keep a steady speed for long and stay free from emotional influence. However, robots depend on batteries, often needing battery changes during races, and have poor adaptability to complex road conditions. Besides, they lack independent thinking and can only follow preset (预设) programs. Humans, however, have unique, irreplaceable advantages: flexible on-site strategy adjustment, strong willpower to fight through tiredness, and rich emotional experience. The only downside is that human bodies have clear limits and get tired or injured easily, requiring years of hard training to make progress. Technology should not be a tool for competition between humans and robots, but a bridge for mutual (相互的) progress. The goal of making marathon robots is not to replace human athletes, but to serve humans better, such as developing smart prosthetics (假肢) for disabled people or taking dangerous tasks in rescue and industry. Meanwhile, robot-related tech can also help improve human sports equipment and training tools. We should also balance tech and human spirit, as the true meaning of human marathon lies in perseverance (毅力) and the courage to challenge limits. In conclusion, both the human marathon breakthrough and robot marathon development show the strong power of technology. Humans and robots have their own strengths and cannot replace each other. We should use technology wisely to serve human needs, combining human spirit with tech innovation to build a better world. 1．What helps human athletes break physical limits in training? A．High-tech training tools and data monitoring. B．Frequent marathon races. C．Running with robots. D．Taking more rest. 2．The underlined word “adaptability” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．the ability to change and deal with new situations B．the speed of running long distances C．the power of feeling tired or painful D．the way of using batteries for energy 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Humans have unique advantages over robots. B．Human bodies are easy to get tired and injured. C．Robots can think independently like humans. D．Human athletes need hard training. 4．What does the writer think of technological development? A．Robots will take the place of humans in all fields. B．Technology should serve and develop with humans. C．We should stop developing marathon robots. D．Technology is more important than human spirit. 5．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Robots have strong emotional perception as humans. B．The human full marathon broke 2 hours for the first time. C．Robots never need to change batteries during races. D．The spirit of challenging limits is meaningless in sports. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．A 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文以人类首次突破马拉松2小时大关和机器人马拉松的发展为切入点，探讨了科技对人类和机器人运动的影响，分析了两者在马拉松中的优劣势，并指出科技应服务于人类，促进人与技术共同进步。 【详解】96．由第二段“advanced scientific training methods, professional sports gear, high-tech nutritional supplements and real-time physical data monitoring systems all help athletes push their physical limits repeatedly”可知，高科技训练工具和数据监测帮助运动员突破生理极限。 1．第三段提到“However, robots depend on batteries, often needing battery changes during races, and have poor adaptability to complex road conditions. ”，前文提到机器人依靠电池，比赛中经常需要更换电池，随后指出机器人“have poor adaptability to complex road conditions”，结合常识，机器人遇到复杂路况时，难以像人类一样灵活调整应对，说明它们“适应”新情况的能力较弱。因此可推知“adaptability”意为“适应新情况的能力”。 2．第三段首先指出人类具有独特的、不可替代的优势（灵活的策略调整、坚强的意志力、丰富的情感体验），然后指出唯一的缺点是人体有生理极限，因此本段主要说明人类相对于机器人的独特优势。 3．由第四段“Technology should not be a tool for competition... but a bridge for mutual progress”和第五段“We should use technology wisely to serve human needs, combining human spirit with tech innovation to build a better world”可知，作者认为技术应该服务于人类并与人类共同发展。 4．由第一段“making him the first human to break the 2-hour marathon barrier”可知，人类首次在全程马拉松中突破2小时大关。 Passage 3 （2026·山东青岛市南·二模） Do you remember playing the “I Spy” game on long car rides as a kid? A color walk is very similar. You pick a color and then look for things in that color while you walk. This activity is a kind of walking meditation (冥想). It is also a popular trend on TikTok with millions of views. There are many benefits of walking meditation. Many adults do not get enough exercise. Taking a 30-minute walk five times a week is good for your health. Walking can lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of heart disease and help you sleep better. It can also make you feel less tired and get sick less often. A 2018 study found that a 10-minute brisk (轻快的), meditative walk can reduce stress and improve mood. Another study in 2022 showed that walking in nature helps with anxiety and depression. For some people, sitting meditation is very difficult. They may feel bored or restless. A walking meditation is easier because you move your body and focus on a simple task. A color walk keeps you in the present moment. This is especially helpful for people who often feel worried or keep thinking about problems. Looking for colors around you stops you from thinking about stress. So how can we take a color walk? First, go outside without music or podcasts. Focus on what you see, hear, and smell. Second, pick one color, such as red, blue, yellow, or green. Then look for different shades of that color. For example, if you choose green, you might see grass, tree leaves, a green car, or someone’s green backpack. Enjoy finding each item. You can change colors every 10 minutes or walk with a friend. There is no wrong way to do it. The most important thing is to get outside, exercise, and practice mindfulness. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing the health benefits of walking.

It uses a special curved (弯曲的) piece of glass or plastic called a lens. This lens helps you see details you might miss with just your eyes. People use magnifying glasses for many things. For example, they are great for looking closely at postage stamps or tiny insects. To make things clear, you need to hold the magnifying glass at the right distance from your eye and the object. This is called bringing the object into focus. Most magnifying glasses also have a handle (柄) to make them easy to hold. Did you know that a telescope is like a super advanced magnifying glass? It uses several lenses to make faraway things look closer. A pair of binoculars is similar, but it has two telescopes, one for each eye. Even eyeglasses use lenses to help people see clearly! 1．Which option (选项) shows the correct match for ①, ② and ③ in the picture? A．Object, lens and focus. B．Focus, lens and object. C．Lens, focus and object. D．Focus, object and lens. 2．Why does the writer mention “postage stamps or tiny insects” in the second paragraph? A．To show that magnifying glasses are difficult to use correctly. B．To explain why magnifying glasses usually come with a handle. C．To compare magnifying glasses with binoculars in terms of use. D．To provide examples of what people use a magnifying glass for. 3．Which distance is most important for focusing with a magnifying glass? A．The distance between the eyes and the glass lens. B．The distance between the eyes and the visual image. C．The distance between the eyes and the handle.

They are talking about rules such as limiting or stopping tourist ships. But a new group of countries are ready to welcome more international visitors. Countries in Africa, South America, and Asia are taking different steps: they are developing airports, relaxing visa (签证) rules, and starting special activities to attract visitors. Tourism is an important part of the global economy(经济). For example, in 2025, nearly $12 trillion of the global economy is from tourism, around 10% of the global GDP. Tourism also created one-in-three new jobs worldwide, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council. For this reason, the countries that are opening their doors to tourists can learn from those countries whose tourism grew too fast. One such country is Namibia. It is one of the driest and least populated countries on Earth. It has long attracted travelers looking for unusual experiences. In recent years, it has spent more money on building tourist facilities(设施). Since 2019, over N$136 million has been spent on road improvement in national parks. The Namibia Tourism Board has also started a travel activity to attract visitors from Asia, the Middle East, and North America. Namibia is excellent for wildlife watching. Joanna Reeve from Intrepid Travel said it is less crowded than other safari parks, so tourists can often have private views. The country is also well-known for green tourism. More than 80 local reserves (保护区) cover 20% of its land, which is a successful model of community-based wildlife management. This attracts visitors who care about the environment. Jarrod Kyte from Steppes Travel mentioned that there has been a growing rise in need for Namibia. The NamibRand Nature Reserve, a Dark Sky Reserve, offers clear views of the Milky Way(银河). Better local airlines make travel plans easier. Kyte advises first-time visitors to mix a Namibia trip with a nearby country visit. This will create a more exciting Southern Africa adventure. In conclusion, as the tourism changes slowly, countries like Namibia are becoming as exciting new places, offering unique experiences while also focusing on environmentally friendly growth. 1．Why are some famous cities talking about such rules? A．To solve the problem of over-tourism. B．To develop local economy quickly. C．To create more new jobs in the cities. D．To attract more foreign visitors. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．Tourism will become the largest industry worldwide. B．Tourism matters less to the economy and job markets. C．Countries with fast-growing tourism are worth learning from. D．More countries will close their doors to foreign tourists soon. 3．If you travel to Namibia, what can you most probably experience? A．Modern airports and strict visa rules. B．Quiet nature and great star-filled sky. C．Crowded parks with amazing wildlife. D．Free hotels and delicious local food. 4．Why is Namibia good for wildlife watching according to Joanna Reeve? A．It has many new tourist facilities. B．It has the cheapest but greatest airlines. C．It has more kinds of wild animals. D．It has fewer visitors but more reserves. 5．What does the text mainly tell us? A．Tourism is worth spending more money. B．Namibia develops its tourism in a proper way. C．Tourism brings both wealth and trouble to Namibia. D．The other African countries should copy Namibia’s way. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以纳米比亚为例，介绍了全球旅游业发展的新趋势：部分热门城市因过度旅游出台限制措施，而非洲、南美、亚洲的一些国家正通过完善基础设施、放宽签证政策等方式发展旅游业，同时探讨了纳米比亚如何以生态友好、注重游客体验的方式推动旅游业可持续发展。 1．根据文章第一段中“In 2026, many well-known cities are dealing with over-tourism. They are talking about rules such as limiting or stopping tourist ships.” 可知这些规则是为了应对“过度旅游”问题，对应A项。 2．根据文章第二段提到，旅游业对全球经济和就业贡献巨大（占全球GDP约10%，创造了全球三分之一的新增就业），并指出“the countries that are opening their doors to tourists can learn from those countries whose tourism grew too fast”，即正在发展旅游业的国家可以从那些旅游业发展过快的国家吸取经验教训。C项“旅游业快速发展的国家值得学习”与原文“learn from those countries whose tourism grew too fast”（从发展过快的国家吸取教训）表意一致。 3．根据文章第四段，纳米比亚“less crowded than other safari parks”（不拥挤，即安静的自然环境），第五段提到纳米布兰德自然保护区（Dark Sky Reserve）“offers clear views of the Milky Way”（可以清晰观赏银河，即繁星满天的夜空），对应B项。 4．根据文章第四段，Joanna Reeve提到“it is less crowded than other safari parks, so tourists can often have private views”，同时文中还提到纳米比亚有超过80个当地保护区，覆盖20%的土地，即游客少、保护区多，对应D项。 5．全文以纳米比亚为例，介绍了其如何通过完善设施、打造生态旅游、星空旅游等方式，以可持续的方式发展旅游业，既吸引游客又注重环境保护，对应B项。 主题02 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·济南槐荫区·调研）Do you like blueberries? If so, the next time you’re about to eat your fill of these delicious berries, take a good look at them. Then ask yourself: Are blueberries really blue? For the most part, blueberries aren’t blue. If you carefully peel the skin (表皮) off one, you’ll see that the inside is white. If you rub (摩擦) the inside of the skin on a white piece of paper, you’ll see a reddish-purple color. And if you gently rub the outside of a blueberry, the blue color disappears and the berry looks almost black. But as soon as you pick one, it does look blue. What’s going on? Scientists explain that colors can be created in two different ways. The first is through pigments (色素). A pigment shows the color of the light it does not absorb. The most common pigment in plants is chlorophyll (叶绿素), a green pigment. Plant leaves appear green because chlorophyll doesn’t absorb green light. It sends it out instead while absorbing blue and red light. Plants prefer to absorb blue light because it has more energy than any other light. However, there aren’t any “true blue” pigments in the plant world. The second way to make color is through “structural color (结构色)”. This happens when the structure of a surface makes some colors of light look different. Have you ever seen the rainbow colors on a CD? These colors show up because of the tiny spaces between the thin coats. These spaces only allow certain colors to reach our eyes — a perfect example of structural color. Blueberries also create “structural color” in their own way. The berries look black when they’re ready, but the plants build a thin coat of wax (蜡) on their outside. This coat is only four-thousandths of a centimeter thick, but it gives the berries their blue look. The blue color helps the plants because birds are drawn to the rare (罕见的) color. They eat the berries and spread the seeds (种子) far and wide. Now your bowl of blueberries suddenly looks a lot more interesting. The fruit is beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep while the science behind it runs much deeper. 1．What happens to a blueberry after you gently rub its outside? A．It appears black. B．It becomes reddish-purple. C．It turns white inside. D．It remains a darker blue. 2．What does the underlined word “absorb” most probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Give out. B．Take in. C．Fall off. D．Wash away. 3．Why does the author mention a CD in Paragraph 4? A．To prove that CDs are colorful. B．To show that CDs are made of wax. C．To explain what structural color is. D．To suggest that pigments are not important. 4．How does the blue color of blueberries help the plant? A．It attracts birds that spread the seeds. B．It helps the fruit grow bigger. C．It keeps the fruit fresh for longer. D．It protects the fruit from insects. 5．What is the main purpose of the text? A．To describe how to grow blueberries. B．To argue that blueberries are not healthy. C．To compare blueberries with other fruits. D．To explain the color that blueberries appear. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了蓝莓看似蓝色的原因，解释了植物显色的两种方式——色素显色和结构色，说明蓝莓的蓝色并非来自色素，而是表皮蜡层产生的结构色。 【详解】63．第二段“if you gently rub…disappears and the berry looks almost black”指出当你轻轻地摩擦蓝莓的 外皮时，蓝色就会消失，浆果看起来几乎是黑色的。 1．第三段“It sends it out instead while absorbing…”中instead前后词义意思相反，“send out”表示“向外散发（光、热等）”，“absorb”应表示相反词义“吸收”，与take in“吸收”同义。 2．第四段结尾说明原因：“These spaces only…eyes — a perfect example of structural color”，说明提及CD是为了举例解释什么是结构色。 3．第五段结尾“The blue color helps the plants…spread the seeds far and wide.”指出蓝莓的蓝色能够吸引鸟类吃下果实，并将种子传播到四面八方。 4．文章围绕蓝莓为什么看起来是蓝色、色素原理和结构色展开，主要目的就是解释蓝莓呈现出的颜色的原理。 Passage 2 （25-26下·山东滨州滨城区·第二次质量检测）After nearly two years of expectation, a tiny new life is already making a big splash and giving people around the world a reason to smile. At Smithsonian’s National Zoo, a baby Asian elephant named Linh Mai is winning hearts ahead of her first public appearance on April 22．In a new video shared with TODAY, the playful calf can be seen enjoying a bubble（泡沫）bath, one of many milestones in her first few months of life. Linh Mai was born on February 2 to her mother, Nhi Linh, marking an important moment for the zoo. She is the first elephant calf born there in nearly 25 years, making her arrival especially meaningful for both the animal care team and protection work. And her birth carries even greater significance beyond the zoo. With fewer than 50,000 Asian elephants remaining in the wild, each new calf represents hope for the future of the species — and a reminder of how important protection work truly is. As Linh Mai continues to grow, the team caring for her is already seeing her personality（性格）come to life. “This past week on April 2, our Asian elephant calf Linh Mai turned two months old. It’s a major milestone for her and for our team, who have been caring for her around the clock and ensuring she has everything she needs to thrive,” the zoo shared. They added, “One of the most meaningful parts of caring for elephants is getting to know their personalities. While Linh Mai is still young, parts of her personality are beginning to shine through. I can say with confidence that she is rambunctious, sassy and playful.” With her big personality and even bigger significance, Linh Mai is already making a lasting impression, and her journey is just getting started. 1．What does the underlined sentence “a tiny new life is already making a big splash” mean? A．The baby elephant likes playing in water very much. B．The young elephant brings wide public attention. C．The new life needs much care from the zoo keepers. 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A．Linh Mai will meet the public on April 22． B．The baby elephant is already three months old. C．People know her full personality clearly now. 3．From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________. A．Linh Mai likes playing with bubbles very much B．Linh Mai’s birth is a special event for the zoo C．The zoo can protect all kinds of wild animals well 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To advise people to visit the baby elephant. B．To introduce Linh Mai and call for elephant protection. C．To teach people living habits of Asian elephants. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国史密森尼国家动物园新出生的亚洲象幼崽Linh Mai，她将于4月22日首次公开亮相。她的出生是该动物园近25年来的第一头象宝宝，对物种保护具有重要意义。 【详解】73． “make a big splash” 是英语习语，意为“引起轰动、广受关注”。结合上下文，这只小象的出生让人们微笑，并受到媒体关注，因此B正确。 1．第一段明确说“first public appearance on April 22”，因此A正确。 2．第三段指出“She is the first elephant calf born there in nearly 25 years”，因此对动物园意义非凡，B正确。 3．文章不仅介绍小象，还强调亚洲象数量不足5万头，每个新生象宝宝代表希望，提醒保护工作的重要性，因此目的是介绍并呼吁保护。 Passage 3 （2026·山东济南历城·二模）A major breakthrough has been made in China’s space biology research—a female mouse that traveled to space has successfully given birth to healthy babies on Earth. This achievement marks an important step forward in understanding how space environments affect the way animals have babies. The four mice for the experiment were sent into space on October 31, 2025, aboard the Shenzhou 21 spaceship. They were selected from 300 candidates after strict physical and behavioral tests. They lived in a special home on China’s space station for about 14 days. During their stay, they were looked after carefully and had enough food and water. After returning safely to Earth on November 14, one female mouse became pregnant naturally and gave birth to nine baby mice on December 10. Six of the newborns have survived (存活), which is a normal survival rate (比率). However, their journey was not without difficulties. Because the schedule was changed, the mice’s stay in space was longer than planned. As a result, the food for the mice was not enough. To solve this difficulty, the ground research team acted quickly. The team developed methods to address both water and food issues. For food, soy milk was chosen as a safe and good replacement (代替) from the astronauts’ supplies. They worked together around the clock to make sure the mice stayed healthy. During the task, an AI-powered system played a key role. It tracked (跟踪) the mice’s movement, feeding, and sleep patterns closely. This up-to-date information helped researchers make timely decisions and keep the mice healthy. For example, when the system showed that the mice were moving less than usual, the team would ________. This task not only shows that short-term space travel does not harm mice’s ability to have babies, but also gives useful samples for future research. Scientists will keep studying the babies’ growth and may even find out whether they can have their own babies, in order to understand how long-term space travel affects living things. 1．The writer uses the numbers nine and six mainly to ________ in Paragraph 2. A．show the exact birth time of the baby mice B．explain the living environment of newborn mice C．prove the survival situation is at a normal level D．compare different results of similar space research 2．Why was bean milk used in the space task? A．It could replace mice’s food in a safe way. B．It was kept for daily tests in the space station. C．It greatly improved the mice’s health condition. D．It helped cut down the mice’s space stay time. 3．Which of the following can be put in the blank? A．change the AI system to track them better B．quickly check their condition and make changes C．provide more soy milk for them to drink D．send new food to the space station at once 4．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．Scientists will focus on the babies’ long-term growth only. B．The baby mice will certainly have their own babies soon. C．Short-term space travel has no effect on all living things. D．The task helps research long-term space travel’s influence. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．New feeding ways are created for space animals. B．A space mouse experiment makes great achievement. C．AI systems control daily work on the space station. D．Space travel has no influence on living things. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了中国太空生物学实验中，曾进入太空的雌鼠成功诞下健康幼崽这一重大突破，并说明了该实验的过程、应对困难的方法及其对后续太空生物研究的重要意义。 【详解】81．第二段末尾提到“Six of the newborns have survived (存活), which is a normal survival rate (比率).”，可知作者列举出生9只和存活6只这两个数字，是为了说明存活率处于正常水平。 1．第三段提到“For food, soy milk was chosen as a safe and good replacement (代替) from the astronauts’ supplies.”，可知选用豆奶是因为它是一种安全且良好的食物替代品。 2．第四段提到“This up-to-date information helped researchers make timely decisions and keep the mice healthy.”，可知AI系统提供的信息帮助研究人员做出及时决策以保持小鼠健康。因此，当系统显示小鼠运动减少时，团队应迅速检查状况并做出调整。 3．最后一段提到“in order to understand how long-term space travel affects living things.”，可知这项任务有助于研究长期太空旅行对生物的影响。A项“only”太绝对，B项“certainly”与文中“may”不符，C项no effect”与文意不符。故选D。 4．通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了中国空间生物研究的一项重大突破——太空归来的母鼠成功产仔，以及实验的过程和意义。B项“太空小鼠实验取得重大成就”最能概括全文主旨。 Passage 4 （2026·山东济南历城·二模）Bananas are one of the most loved fruits on earth. But every so often, we hear people ask, “Is the fruit dying out soon?” On the face of it, the question sounds silly. However, if you go a little deeper, there’s more to it than that. 99% of the bananas we sell and eat today are Cavendish bananas. Farmers all choose to grow this type of banana because it tastes the best-sweet, creamy. What’s more, its thick skin enables it to travel well, so it’s perfect for the global fruit market. However, it’s extremely hard for Cavendish bananas to produce seeds (种子). The only way for farmers to quickly grow more bananas is to plant offshoots (分枝). This produces plenty of bananas for sale, and the quality doesn’t change much. The problem is all the banana plants are actually the “clones” of their parent plants. They all have the same genes (基因) and the same weak points! If one of them can be easily harmed by a certain disease, all of them can. Now, a serious banana disease, called “Panama TR4”, has already been found. It can easily harm nearly all Cavendish bananas. If it continues to spread, there will probably be very few Cavendish bananas left in the world. History can give us a clear warning. In the early 20th century, Gros Michel bananas were the most popular. Like Cavendish bananas, they were grown almost entirely from offshoots. After an old disease started spreading in the 1950s, Gros Michel bananas disappeared from supermarket shelves within ten years. But there is also a difference between the two cases. After Gros Michel bananas nearly died out, we still had Cavendish bananas to switch to. Right now, there are no replacements (替代品) ready for large farms. Although a world without bananas sounds like a sci-fi (科幻) story, we have seen this happen before. 1．Why do farmers prefer Cavendish bananas? A．They grow much faster. B．They are tasty and easy to transport. C．They have no seeds. D．They can stop serious diseases. 2．The underlined word “clone” in Paragraph 3 means ________. A．a copy B．a model C．a type D．a subject 3．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage? A．Bananas will disappear in sci-fi films. B．The old banana case gives us a warning. C．People grow bananas only for money. D．Farmers stopped growing Gros Michel bananas. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Banana diseases are impossible to control forever. B．It is risky to depend on only one kind of banana. C．People will never lose bananas in the future. D．All bananas in the world have the same genes now. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Grow Bananas Well B．The Story of Two Kinds of Bananas C．The Most Popular Fruit on Earth D．Bananas: In Danger of Disappearing? 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了目前广泛种植的Cavendish香蕉因基因单一面临疾病威胁，可能像当年的Gros Michel香蕉一样消失，警示人们关注香蕉生存危机。 【详解】86．根据第二段“Farmers all choose to grow this type of banana because it tastes the best-sweet, creamy. What’s more, its thick skin enables it to travel well...”可知，农民选择种植这种香蕉是因为它味道好且厚皮便于运输。 1．根据第三段“They all have the same genes... If one of them can be easily harmed by a certain disease, all of them can.”可知，这些香蕉植株基因相同，是母株的复制品。clone意为“克隆体/复制品”，与 a copy意思相近。 2．根据第五段“History can give us a clear warning.”可知，历史上的香蕉案例给了我们一个明确的警告。选项B与文意相符。 3．根据第三段“They all have the same genes (基因) and the same weak points!”可知，基因相同导致弱点相同，以及第六段提到“Right now, there are no replacements (替代品) ready for large farms.”，可推断出依赖单一品种香蕉存在巨大风险。 4．文章首段提出“Is the fruit dying out soon?”，随后分析了Cavendish香蕉面临的疾病威胁及历史教训，结尾再次强调可能面临消失的风险。选项D“香蕉：面临消失的危险？”最能概括文章主旨。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
