专题5 阅读还原 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 (山东济南市章丘区2026年初中学业水平考试英语模拟试题)Do you often find yourself putting things off until the last minute? You are not alone. Procrastination (拖延)—the act of delaying something you should be doing—is a common habit. 1 The good news is that you can learn to beat it with a few simple strategies. Start by breaking down a large task into smaller ones. A big project can feel scary, which makes you want to avoid it. 2 For example, instead of “write a report,” try “find three sources” or “write the first paragraph.” Each small win gives you a sense of progress. Another useful method is the “five-minute rule.” Tell yourself you will work on the task for just five minutes. 3 Often, starting is the hardest part. Once you begin, it’s much easier to continue. You may even find yourself working much longer than five minutes. Also, remove distractions (干扰). Put your phone in another room, close unneeded browser tabs, and tell your family you need quiet time. 4 5 Don’t expect to change overnight. If you procrastinate again, don’t give up. Just try the strategies again the next day. Over time, your brain will learn that starting is not so painful after all. A．Most people procrastinate because they fear failure. B．But this feeling usually appears once you take the first step. C．It might seem too simple, but it really works. D．The key is to focus on the very next small action. E．These small changes can greatly improve your focus. F．Finally, be patient with yourself. G．Why do we always choose to do easier things first? 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．C 4．E 5．F 【导语】本文主要讲述了拖延这一常见习惯，并介绍了拆分任务、五分钟法则、消除干扰、保持耐心等克服拖延的实用策略。 1．前文提到“Procrastination (拖延)—the act of delaying something you should be doing—is a common habit.”，后文引出“The good news is that you can learn to beat it with a few simple strategies.”。A项“Most people procrastinate because they fear failure.”承接前文对拖延的介绍，说明拖延的常见原因，自然引出下文的解决策略，符合语境。 2．前文提到“A big project can feel scary, which makes you want to avoid it”，后文“Each small win gives you a sense of progress”。D项“The key is to focus on the very next small action.”承接前文拆分任务的建议，点明拆分任务的关键是专注于下一个小行动，与上下文衔接紧密。 3．前文提到“Another useful method is the “five-minute rule”，后文说明“Often, starting is the hardest part. Once you begin, it’s much easier to continue. You may even find yourself working much longer than five minutes.”。C项“It might seem too simple, but it really works.”承接前文的五分钟法则，说明这个方法虽然简单但很有效，逻辑连贯。 4．前文提到“Also, remove distractions (干扰)”，此处需要补充这些做法的效果。E项“These small changes can greatly improve your focus.”承接前文消除干扰的具体做法，说明这些小改变能大大提升专注力，与上下文衔接自然。 5．后文提到“Don’t expect to change overnight. If you procrastinate again, don’t give up. Just try the strategies again the next day”，这部分内容围绕“耐心”展开。F项“Finally, be patient with yourself.”作为该段的总起句，引出后文对保持耐心的建议，符合语境。 Passage 2 (山东省济南市商河县2026年九年级学业水平第二次模拟考试英语)Learning to be more independent is a skill that will help you face challenges and make decisions as you grow older. 1 Being independent can mean different things to different people. Mostly, it is about being able to take care of yourself, make your own decisions, and be responsible for things in your life. However, it does not mean you have to do everything alone. 1 There are many benefits (益处). Independent children are more likely to try new things and deal with problems better when things go wrong. As we grow up, it’s important to manage feelings and situations by ourselves. This builds confidence. 2 How can you be more independent? 1 Ask parents or teachers to let you practice a skill without their help. If you fail, try again. Start small and build confidence. Independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone. 2 Believe in yourself. A big part of becoming independent is having the confidence to know you can make decisions, try new things, and think for yourself. A．Why is it important? B．What is being independent? C．When should you be independent? D．If you feel worried, ask someone for help. E．Try new activities or solve problems on your own. F．Being independent can also make you less nervous. G．This is the most important thing about being independent. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．F 4．E 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了如何培养独立性以及独立性对成长的重要性。 【详解】16．第一段提到“Learning to be more independent is a skill...”，下文第二段开头“Being independent can mean different things to different people.”是在解释独立性的含义，因此第一段后应提出问题“什么是独立性？”，选项B“What is being independent?”符合上下文逻辑。 1．第二段解释了独立性的含义，第三段开头“There are many benefits.”说明接下来要讲独立性的好处，因此第二段后应提出问题“为什么独立性很重要？”，选项A“Why is it important?”能够自然引出下文。 2．第三段提到“This builds confidence.”，说明独立性带来的好处之一是建立自信，选项F“Being independent can also make you less nervous.”是另一个好处，与前文形成并列关系，符合语境。 3．第四段提出“How can you be more independent?”，下文“Ask parents or teachers to let you practice a skill without their help.”给出了具体做法，选项E“Try new activities or solve problems on your own.”也是具体做法之一，符合段落主题。 4．第五段提到“Independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone.”，后文“Believe in yourself.”鼓励自信，但遇到困难时也需要帮助，选项D“If you feel worried, ask someone for help.”能够承接“不意味着独自做所有事”这一观点，同时与后文形成合理衔接。 Passage 3 (山东济南市天桥区 2026年九年级学业水平考试模拟测试 英语试题)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 popular activity is a kind of walking meditation (冥想). 1 There are many benefits of walking meditation. Many adults do not get enough exercise. 2 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. 3 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. 4 Second, pick one color, such as red, blue, yellow, or green. Then look for different shades (色调) 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 thing. You can change colors every 10 minutes or walk with a friend. 5 The most important thing is to get outside, exercise, and practice mindfulness. A．My favourite season is spring. B．There is no wrong way to do it. C．Helping others brings us happiness. D．Focus on what you see, hear, and smell around you. E．For some people, sitting meditation is very difficult. F．It is also very hot on TikTok with millions of views. G．Taking a 30-minute walk five times a week is good for your health. 【答案】1．F 2．G 3．E 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“彩色行走”这一步行冥想活动——选择一种颜色，边走边寻找该颜色的事物，并详细阐述了其对健康和心理的益处、为何比静坐冥想更容易坚持，以及具体的做法。 【详解】21．第一段末尾提到“This popular activity is a kind of walking meditation”，此处需要补充说明这项活动的流行程度。选项F“It is also very hot on TikTok with millions of views”（它在TikTok上也非常火爆，有数百万的浏览量）承接上文，进一步说明其流行性。 1．第二段开头指出“Many adults do not get enough exercise”，说明成年人缺乏锻炼。后文具体列举了散步的健康益处。选项G“Taking a 30-minute walk five times a week is good for your health”（每周五次、每次30分钟的散步对健康有益）是对缺乏锻炼问题的具体建议，与后文益处形成衔接。 2．第三段开头提到“They may feel bored or restless”，说明有些人坐着冥想时会感到无聊或焦躁。后文解释“A walking meditation is easier”，说明行走冥想更容易。选项E“For some people, sitting meditation is very difficult”（对有些人来说，静坐冥想非常困难）正好引出下文，解释为什么行走冥想更合适。 3．第四段开头说“First, go outside without music or podcasts”，接下来应说明出去后该怎么做。选项D“Focus on what you see, hear, and smell around you”（关注你周围看到的、听到的和闻到的）是紧接着的具体做法，与后文“Second, pick one color”并列。 4．最后一段总结说“The most important thing is to get outside, exercise, and practice mindfulness”，强调最重要的是走出去、锻炼和练习正念。选项B“There is no wrong way to do it”（没有错误的做法）作为总结句，与后文“最重要的是到户外锻炼，并练习正念”相呼应，表明方式不限。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 (2026年山东济南市历下区九年级英语学情调研)For many teenagers, it’s hard to run away from the pressure to be perfect. They push themselves to get straight A’s, star on the sports field, present a perfect social media look, and even be the “best” friend or family member. 1 What they don’t always realize, however, is the bad effects this habit has on their mental health. Perfectionism is not the same as going for excellence. 2 Going for excellence means enjoying the process of growing and accepting small failures as part of learning. Perfectionism, on the other hand, is controlled by fear and self-doubt. It is an all-or-nothing mindset (心态) that tells them “If I am not the best, I am a loser.” 3 One of the most harmful results of perfectionism is putting things off. The fear of not being perfect often stops teenagers from starting a task at all. They would rather avoid trying than face possible imperfection, creating a harmful cycle of avoidance. Thoughts like “If I can’t write the perfect paper, I won’t even start” become common, causing late work and increasing pressure. 1 It slowly breaks their ability to overcome difficulties. When every small mistake is seen as a shame, it is difficult to build healthy self-confidence. A low grade or simple bad words can make them doubt their own value for a long time. The good news is that teenagers can get out of the perfectionism trouble. Start by treating mistakes as necessary learning steps. 2 Instead of being hard on yourself for not being good enough, praise yourself for trying your best. Over time, you will feel lighter and more confident. A．Everyone needs to learn from successful people. B．Learn to accept “good” instead of always requiring “perfect”. C．The key difference is how people look at progress and mistakes. D．So why do parents push teenagers so hard in study and daily life? E．Perfectionism can also hurt their confidence when facing problems. F．They are taught that perfect performances make them popular and respected. G．This fixed way of thinking easily leads to high levels of stress and nervousness. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．G 4．E 5．B 【导语】本文围绕青少年的完美主义问题展开，介绍了完美主义的危害，并给出了摆脱完美主义困扰的建议。 1．根据前文“For many teenagers, it’s hard to run away from the pressure to be perfect. They push themselves to get straight A’s, star on the sports field, present a perfect social media look, and even be the “best” friend or family member.”可知，青少年承受着追求完美的压力，后文提到他们没意识到这种习惯对心理健康的负面影响，F选项“They are taught that perfect performances make them popular and respected.”承接上文，说明青少年追求完美的原因，与上下文逻辑连贯。 2．根据前文“Perfectionism is not the same as going for excellence.”以及后文“Going for excellence means enjoying the process of growing and accepting small failures as part of learning. Perfectionism, on the other hand, is controlled by fear and self-doubt.”可知，这里在对比追求卓越和完美主义的区别，C选项“The key difference is how people look at progress and mistakes.”起到了承上启下的作用，点明了二者的核心区别，引出后文的具体对比内容。 3．根据前文“It is an all-or-nothing mindset(心态) that tells them “If I am not the best, I am a loser.”可知，这种非黑即白的心态会带来负面影响，G选项“This fixed way of thinking easily leads to high levels of stress and nervousness.”承接前文，说明这种思维方式会导致高度的压力和紧张感，与上下文逻辑连贯。 4．根据后文“It slowly breaks their ability to overcome difficulties. When every small mistake is seen as a shame, it is difficult to build healthy self-confidence.”可知，这一段讲述了完美主义对自信心的影响，E选项“Perfectionism can also hurt their confidence when facing problems.”作为段落的主题句，概括了后文的核心内容，引出下文对自信心影响的具体说明。 5．根据前文“Start by treating mistakes as necessary learning steps.”以及后文“Instead of being hard on yourself for not being good enough, praise yourself for trying your best.”可知，这里在给出摆脱完美主义的建议，B选项“Learn to accept “good” instead of always requiring “perfect”.”契合语境，建议青少年学会接受“不错”，而不是一直要求“完美”，与前后文的建议相呼应。 Passage 2 (2026年山东省济南市高新区中考二模英语试题)When students think of a real friend, they often imagine someone kind, loyal (忠诚的), and always ready to help. 1 Yet sometimes a friend is most helpful not when they give quick advice, but when they help us think more clearly. For example, imagine a student who is upset after an argument. One friend quickly says, “Forget it. You did nothing wrong.” Another friend listens first and then asks, “What do you think hurt you most?” The second answer may sound less comfortable at first. 2 In fact, discomfort and usefulness are not always opposites. This is because thoughtful friendship often gives us a chance to reflect (反思). Real friends do not simply protect our feelings when we meet problems. 3 They may help us notice when we are hiding, blaming, or refusing to see another side. That kind of support can be challenging, but it often leads to stronger self-understanding. Of course, this does not mean friends should turn every talk into a lesson. Friendship still needs warmth and acceptance. 4 If every conversation feels like a lesson, trust may become weaker, not stronger. Good friendship makes honesty possible because care comes first. What matters is balance. Good friends know when to stand beside us quietly, when to encourage us, and when to ask one honest question that opens a deeper view. These moments may not look dramatic (激动人心的), but they often shape how young people understand problems and choices. In this sense, friendship is not only social support, but also one place where self-understanding can grow. 1 A．But it may lead to a better understanding of the problem. B．That is why students should solve problems by themselves. C．It can also change how we see both ourselves and others. D．These good values play an important role in students’ lives. E．They must also avoid sounding unfriendly or too sure of themselves. F．Real friends should always agree with each other completely. G．Instead, they sometimes make it possible for us to face them honestly. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．G 4．E 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述真正的朋友不只是善良忠诚、提供安慰与快速建议，更会引导我们反思、诚实面对问题；真正的友谊需要温暖包容与直言坦诚相平衡，既能给予情感支持，也能帮助我们提升自我认知、改变看待自己和他人的方式。 1．空格前列举善良、忠诚等美好品质，选项D“These good values play an important role in students’ lives. ”承接上文，总结这些美好品质在学生生活中很重要，自然过渡到下文对朋友另一种帮助方式的论述。 2．前半句说感受不舒服，选项A“But it may lead to a better understanding of the problem. ”用But转折，说明这种不舒服的回答反而能让人更好理解问题，衔接前后逻辑，呼应下一句“不适也有价值”。 3．前句“Real friends do not simply protect our feelings when we meet problems. They may help us notice when we are hiding, blaming... ”说不只是保护情绪，选项G“Instead, they sometimes make it possible for us to face them honestly.”转折说明反而让我们能诚实面对问题，和后文朋友引导自我反思的内容紧密衔接。 4．空格前说友谊仍需要温暖和包容，不必把每次谈话都变成说教；空后说若每次聊天都像上课，信任感会变弱。选项E“They must also avoid sounding unfriendly or too sure of themselves.”补充说明直言的同时也要避免态度生硬、过于自负，引出下文过度说教的弊端，逻辑连贯。 5．空格前的句子“...friendship is not only social support, but also one place where self-understanding can grow. ”说友谊助力自我成长，选项C“It can also change how we see both ourselves and others. ”进一步升华，说明友谊还能改变我们看待自己和他人的方式，收束全文主旨。 Passage 3 (2026年山东省济南市平阴县九年级学业水平考试英语模拟试题二)When we learn a language, the goal is often to be able to have conversations with other people. But there’s a question that a lot of people ask online— 1 Writing, speaking, reading, and listening are different skills. When you write and speak, you’re producing something. 2 When you read and listen, you’re receiving information and trying to understand it. So, reading and listening are called passive skills (被动技能). For that reason, some learners believe written language is quite different from spoken language. They don’t think reading is very useful for improving speaking. 3 A study of English students in Bangladesh found that 80% thought reading had improved their speaking, while 75% said it had improved their imagination or vocabulary (词汇量). And experts say this is important: reading can add words to our vocabulary, and show us how words and grammar are used in different situations. Teachers often divide reading into two types (类型): extensive reading and intensive reading (泛读和精读). The goal of extensive reading is enjoyment, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word. 4 Intensive reading is often led by teachers. They choose stories or texts that are used for certain language-learning goals. Research has shown that both types of reading can be really useful in helping students speak better. 5 So, if we want to speak a language well, we should pay attention to reading. A．What can we do to improve our writing? B．Does reading help us with our speaking? C．Listening is also a good way to learn a language. D．But many other learners believe reading is important. E．They can improve their vocabulary and understanding. F．Because of this, writing and speaking are called active skills. G．With extensive reading, students usually choose what they want to read. 【答案】1．B 2．F 3．D 4．G 5．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了阅读与口语能力之间的关系。文章通过列举研究数据、分析技能属性以及对比泛读与精读的特点，论证了阅读对提高语言表达能力的积极作用。 1．根据空前提到“…there’s a question that a lot of people ask online—”可知，此处需填入一个具体的问题。由于全文都在探讨阅读对口语的影响，选项B“Does reading help us with our speaking?”与主题完全契合，起到了引出下文的作用。 2．根据前句“When you write and speak, you’re producing something.”以及后句提到阅读和听力被称为“passive skills”可知，此处在对语言技能进行分类。对应阅读和听力的被动属性，口语和写作被视为主动属性，选项F“Because of this, writing and speaking are called active skills.”逻辑衔接紧密。 3．根据第二段结尾提到“They don’t think reading is very useful for improving speaking.”可知，部分人对阅读持怀疑态度。而第三段随后引用孟加拉国学生的研究结果证明阅读确实能改善口语，此处需要转折。选项D“But many other learners believe reading is important.”实现了从否定观点到正面论据的自然过渡。 4．根据前文对泛读的描述“The goal of extensive reading is enjoyment…”以及后文对精读的描述“Intensive reading is often led by teachers.”可知，此处在对比两种阅读方式的差异。选项G“With extensive reading, students usually choose what they want to read.”强调了泛读中学生的自主权，与后文精读由老师引导的特点形成鲜明对比。 5．根据前句“Research has shown that both types of reading can be really useful in helping students speak better.”可知，此处需进一步说明阅读如何发挥效用。选项E“They can improve their vocabulary and understanding.”具体解释了阅读促进口语的原因，从而推导出结论。 Passage 4 Rock Paper Scissors: An Ancient Game with Modern Competitions (2026年山东省青岛市市南区中考二模英语试题) Have you ever used Rock Paper Scissors to settle (解决) a disagreement? This simple game actually originated (起源) in China over 2,000 years ago. Origins and Development According to Wuzazu (《五杂俎》) from the Ming Dynasty, the game dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). It was first called “Shoushiling”, meaning “hand command game.” 1 . From Japan, it reached Europe and America in the early 20th century. 2 Although the game seems to depend on luck, research shows several winning tips: ◇First throw matters. Studies show men often start with Rock, while women prefer Scissors. Adjust your first move accordingly—Paper beats Rock, and Rock beats Scissors. ◇Losers change patterns. 1 . Use this tip to guess their next move. ◇Beginners love Rock. 2 . Beat them with Paper. Chinese scientists have confirmed these patterns through research. Modern Competitions Today, Rock Paper Scissors has become an organized sport. The World Rock Paper Scissors Association (WRPSA) runs official tournaments, including yearly World Championships with prize money up to $ 50,000. 1 . It has held national championships since 2003. In 2019, Beijing hosted the World Championship, and organizers said the game is an intangible cultural heritage full of ancient Chinese wisdom. Next time you play, use these tips—and remember you are taking part in a tradition with over 2,000 years of history. A．How to Gain an Advantage B．New players often choose Rock because it feels strong C．Many people play this game just for fun in their daily life D．Later, the game spread to Japan and became modern rock-paper-scissors E．China now officially recognizes rock-paper-scissors as a competitive game F．After losing, most players change to a move that beats the other’s last choice 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．F 4．B 5．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了“石头剪刀布”游戏的起源与发展、取胜技巧以及现代竞赛情况。 【详解】71．空前介绍了“石头剪刀布”在中国汉代的起源，空后一句为“From Japan, it reached Europe and America...”，根据逻辑连贯性，空处应说明该游戏是如何传到日本的。选项D“Later, the game spread to Japan and became modern rock-paper-scissors”起到了完美的承上启下作用。 1．后文介绍了几个取胜技巧，包括首次出手的规律、输家改变模式以及新手喜欢出石头，此处需要概括本段主题作为小标题。选项A“How to Gain an Advantage”点明如何获得优势，总领后文内容。 2．前文指出输家会改变出拳模式，后文提到利用这个技巧猜测对手的下一步，此处应具体解释输家是如何改变模式的。选项F“After losing, most players change to a move that beats the other’s last choice”正好解释输家的策略变化。 3．前句说“新手喜欢出石头”，后文紧接着“用布击败他们”。选项B“New players often choose Rock because it feels strong”解释了新手爱出石头的原因，使前后逻辑连贯。 4．前文说今天石头剪刀布已成为有组织的运动，后文提到“自2003年起举行全国冠军赛，2019年北京主办世锦赛”。选项E“China now officially recognizes rock-paper-scissors as a competitive game” 点出中国官方承认其为竞技游戏，与后文中国举办比赛的内容自然衔接。 Passage 5 (2026年山东省潍坊市市区中考二模考试英语试题)Some people think only school children don’t agree with their parents. However, it is not true. 1 If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟). 2 Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). 3 You can try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a mobile phone. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the mobile phone, but only used it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 4 Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. 5 Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! A．Try not to argue with your parents. B．Tell your parents what you care about and why. C．You shouldn’t depend too much on your parents. D．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. E．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. F．Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．E 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了父母与孩子之间存在代沟是普遍现象，并提供了几条消除代沟的建议。 【详解】76．根据“Some people think only school children don’t agree with their parents. However, it is not true”可知，此处指“不光是学龄期的孩子，其实所有年龄段的孩子与父母之间都存在沟通问题”。F选项“Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages.（沟通对于所有年龄段的父母和孩子来说都是一个问题）”符合语境。 1．根据“Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry.”可知，此处说“不要在生气的时候和父母沟通、争吵”。A选项“Try not to argue with your parents.（尽量不要和你的父母争吵）”符合语境。 2．根据“Try to reach a compromise (和解).”，“You can try your best to accept each other.”及后文举 Michael和妈妈就买手机达成和解的例子可知，此处内容与“双方存在分歧、需要和解”有关。E选项“Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.（也许你和你的父母在某些事情上意见不一）”符合语境。 3．根据“In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them.”可知，此处内容与“尊重父母”有关。D选项“Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.（表达尊重会让你们的关系更加牢固）”符合语境。 4．根据“Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own.”及后文“Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.”可知，此处内容与“向父母表达自己的价值观、在意的事物”有关。B选项“Tell your parents what you care about and why.（告诉你的父母你在乎什么，以及为什么）”符合语境。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 (山东省德州市临邑县 2026年九年级第二次素养监测 英语试题)Bird-watching is more than just a hobby; it is a bridge between humans and nature. 1 , who is a 38-year-old bird-watcher in Hong Kong. Speirs lived in Beijing before moving to Hong Kong. His love for birds dates back to his childhood in South Africa. However, he only took this hobby more seriously during the COVID-19 pandemic, when birding became popular worldwide. One day, Speirs heard the clear call of a hoopoe (戴胜) at Beijing’s Olympic Forest Park. 1 . “I had no idea hoopoes could be found in China, so it was amazing to see the same bird thousands of kilometers away from its African habitat (栖息地),” he said. 2 , largely through eBird, an app developed by Cornell University in the US. “It allows people around the world to record the birds they see, check birding hot spots and find out which species (物种) they might see in one area.” As introduced on eBird’s official website, every recorded sighting provides valuable data for scientific research. 3 . “The most surprising thing I’ve learned is how far birds travel: A bird I see in Hong Kong today might be in Beijing in just a few days and the Arctic Circle in a few weeks,” he said. This idea has greatly raised his environmental awareness (意识): “ 4 . It is our responsibility to protect the environment.” A．Through his hobby, Speirs has developed a deeper understanding of birds and nature B．It’s a bird he had always connected with African safaris (观兽旅行) C．A birding is always travelling over the world to watch kinds of birds D．A key part of Speirs’ bird-watching journey is his work in citizen science E．This belief has guided James Speirs’ love for birding (观鸟) F．Earth works as one system, and what happens in one place can influence places far away 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．F 【导语】本文围绕观鸟爱好者James Speirs的经历展开，介绍了观鸟这项爱好如何成为人与自然的桥梁，以及他通过观鸟获得的感悟。 【详解】61．空前一句提到观鸟是人与自然的桥梁，E项中的“This belief”指代这一观点。同时，E项中出现了人名“James Speirs”，与空后的定语从句“who is a 38-year-old bird-watcher…”衔接，引出文章的主人公。 1．空前一句提到Speirs听到了戴胜鸟（hoopoe）的叫声，空后一句提到这种鸟的非洲栖息地（African habitat）。B项指出这是一种他一直与非洲狩猎旅行联系在一起的鸟，承上启下，解释了为什么他在中国看到这种鸟会感到惊讶。 2．空后一句详细介绍了eBird应用程序，人们可以通过它记录看到的鸟类，这些数据为科学研究提供价值。D项中的“citizen science”（公民科学）准确概括了普通人通过记录数据参与科学研究的行为，与后文内容一致。 3．空后引用了Speirs的话，讲述他了解到鸟类迁徙距离之远，这是他在观鸟过程中的收获。A项指出通过爱好，Speirs对鸟类和自然有了更深的理解，是对本段内容的主题概括。 4．空前提到这大大提高了他的环保意识，空后提到保护环境是我们的责任。F项解释了地球是一个系统，一个地方发生的事情会影响远方，这正是他环保意识提升的具体内容，也解释了为什么要保护环境。 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 (山东省济南市槐荫区2026年学业水平阶段性调研测试九年级英语)No matter whether it is during the holidays or at any time of the year, as long as we choose to move, every step we take can bring good changes to our body and mind. So, choose the way that fits you best! Move your way! Have you ever thought about what really makes people achieve great things? Take Newton as an example. He didn’t just care about the apple falling; he kept asking why it fell straight down. 1 After watching how people act in different areas for many years, I have realized something very important. Two qualities, curiosity (好奇心) and dissatisfaction, set great achievers apart from those who have no special performance. 2 You need both to be great. Luckily, we don’t need to learn these qualities. We are born with them, and we just need to bring them back. A great man from ancient China once said, “The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” 3 We stop asking questions. We stop going against the usual ways. We just follow what others do. So we must push ourselves to wake them up and keep them active. Then, how can you start? 4 A friend of mine couldn’t cook well. She was curious about how to improve, so she started with simple dishes. Now she cooks for her family with joy. Another way to start is to answer the excuses you make for yourself. Do you think you have no special ability or time? Many people without special abilities or with little time still manage to get things done. Harriet Stowe, a mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while she was cooking. 5 Remember that Thomas Costain published his first novel at 57, and Grandma Moses showed her first pictures at 78. No matter how you start, always remember that there is no better time to start than right now, because you will never be more full of life than you are at this moment. A．Do you ever worry that your age might hold you back? B．You should always wait until you feel fully ready to begin. C．Being naturally talented is the most important thing for success. D．However, most of us do lose that childlike habit of asking “why”. E．Pick something in a small way so that you won’t get disappointed. F．I have never known an excellent man who lacked both of them. G．Just like him, all the great people in history were curious and always kept asking questions out of dissatisfaction. 【答案】1．G 2．F 3．D 4．E 5．A 【导语】本文通过牛顿的例子引出主题，介绍了成就大事的人具备的两种关键品质 —— 好奇心与不满足感，探讨了如何唤醒这些与生俱来的品质，并以多个实例说明，鼓励读者立刻行动起来，把握当下开启改变。 【详解】26．前文以牛顿因好奇追问苹果落地的例子引入，此处应承接该例子，引出所有伟人的共性特征。G选项“Just like him, all the great people in history were curious and always kept asking questions out of dissatisfaction.”直接呼应牛顿的例子，自然过渡到后文对两种品质的介绍。 1．前文提到“Two qualities, curiosity and dissatisfaction, set great achievers apart...”，后文又说“You need both to be great.”，此处应补充强调这两种品质的重要性。F选项“I have never known an excellent man who lacked both of them.”衔接上下文，强化了两种品质的必要性。 2．前文引用古语“不失去童心的人才是伟人”，后文又说“We stop asking questions. We stop going against the usual ways.”，形成转折关系。D选项“However, most of us do lose that childlike habit of asking ‘why’.”与前文形成转折，引出后文对失去好奇心的描述。 3．前文提出问题“how can you start?”，后文又以朋友从简单菜品开始学做饭为例，说明要从小事起步。E选项“Pick something in a small way so that you won’t get disappointed.”直接回答了“如何开始”的问题，与后文的例子逻辑连贯。 4．前文提到很多人以“没有特殊能力或时间”为借口，后文又以Thomas Costain、Grandma Moses大器晚成的例子说明年龄不是阻碍。A选项“Do you ever worry that your age might hold you back?”引出后文对年龄问题的讨论，与两个晚年取得成就的例子相呼应。 Passage 2 (2026年山东省济南市市中区中考英语二模试卷)Do you like letting others borrow your things? Sharing games, food and your time can make you feel closer and more connected. But what does sharing really mean? Sharing means offering part of what you have to someone else. This could be something you own or things you can’t see such as your thoughts and feelings. But sharing isn’t always easy for everyone. Maybe you don’t like handing over a favorite book or letting others know how you feel. Or perhaps you find it hard to say “no” when friends ask to borrow your things. 1 Sharing also brings health benefits. Sharing good news with someone makes you feel happier. This is because your brain gives off a feel-good chemical called oxytocin (催产素)—which also happens when we share a hug. 2 When you share your feelings, you build up trust. This gives you a “sense of belonging” and helps you know you’re not alone. So how can you practice sharing in daily life? Try taking something to school or a club to share at break time, like a snack or a new game. Talk about a film, a book or music you like and see where the conversation goes. 3 You can do so by sharing small feelings first, and try to match what others tell you. For example, if someone tells you about their interests or hobbies, share yours too. 4 Listening carefully when others speak will make it easier for people to share with you. You can nod or give short responses like “I see” to show you’re focused. Sometimes they just need someone to listen, so you don’t need to give advice right away. They will be thankful if you just allow them to “talk it out”. 5 Start today, and you’ll soon find that every bit you give away, you get back in warmth and connection. A．However, sharing isn’t just about talking. B．Some people are better at sharing than others. C．Studies show sharing helps you feel less stressed. D．Perhaps it’s hard to just listen when you can’t help. E．Sharing is a skill you build, not a gift you’re born with. F．The good news is, this is a skill that you can learn gradually. G．If you want to get better at sharing your feelings, start slowly. 【答案】1．F 2．C 3．G 4．A 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇关于“分享”的说明文，阐述了分享的含义、带来的健康益处以及如何在日常生活中练习分享。文章强调分享是一种可以后天习得的技能，需要循序渐进地培养。 【详解】36．本段提到分享对某些人来说并不容易，可能会因不愿交出心爱之物或不知如何拒绝朋友而困扰。空白处应承上启下，引出下文关于学习这一技能的内容。选项F“The good news is, this is a skill that you can learn gradually.”（好消息是，这是一项你可以逐步学习的技能）符合逻辑，为后文展开打下基础。 1．本段提到分享对健康有好处，当分享好消息时，大脑会释放催产素。空白处应进一步解释其健康益处。选项C“Studies show sharing helps you feel less stressed.”（研究表明，分享有助于减轻压力）与上下文连贯，说明分享在生理和心理上的积极作用。 2．本段是关于如何在日常生活中练习分享的建议。空白处前建议分享喜欢的事物（零食、游戏、电影等），空白处后建议先分享小感受，再尝试回应他人。选项G“If you want to get better at sharing your feelings, start slowly.”（如果你想更擅长分享感受，就要慢慢开始）符合循序渐进地建立分享习惯的逻辑。 3．本段强调认真倾听他人说话，通过点头、简短回应等方式表达专注，而不急于给出建议。这与前面“主动分享”的讨论形成对比。选项A“However, sharing isn’t just about talking.”（然而，分享不仅仅是说话）准确概括本段“倾听也是一种分享”的核心观点。 4．最后一段鼓励读者从今天开始行动，指出付出会换来温暖和联系。空白处应作为总结句，强调分享是可以后天培养的能力。选项E“Sharing is a skill you build, not a gift you’re born with.”（分享是一种你后天培养的技能，而不是与生俱来的天赋）与全文观点一致，呼应前文“可以逐步学习的技能”，引出后文的行动呼吁。 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 (2026年山东济南市长清区九年级阶段检测英语试题)Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? 1 Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. 2 The second group walked 10 meters backwards. The third group stood in one place. All the groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average (平均) than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts of time and space is important in how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. 3 And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. 4 This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里). 5 It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. A．Walking backward might help you. B．Your memory might just thank you for it. C．One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. D．Sometimes, the best way forward really is a step back. E．In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. F．This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. G．Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．F 4．G 5．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了倒走对短期记忆的提升作用，并通过实验数据解释了其原理，同时阐述了倒走对身体的其他益处。 【详解】31．前文提出“有没有办法在考试前快速回忆信息？”的问题，后文提到英国罗汉普顿大学的科学家称这项活动有助于提升短期记忆。A项“Walking backward might help you.”直接回答了前文的问题，引出下文关于倒走的研究，符合语境。 1．前文提到“研究人员让114名志愿者观看视频，之后将他们分成三组”，后文依次介绍了第二组和第三组的做法。C项“One group was told to walk 10 meters forward.”介绍了第一组的实验操作，与后文两组的描述并列，完整呈现了实验分组，衔接紧密。 2．前文提到“当你倒走时，会从不同的角度看待事物”，此处需要补充这种角度变化对记忆的影响。F项“This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past.” 承接前文的“不同角度”，说明这种差异有助于回忆过去的事情，解释了倒走提升记忆的原理，逻辑连贯。 3．前文提到“倒走对我们的身体也有好处”，后文说明“这可以帮助我们提升健康水平，倒走在短时间内消耗更多能量、燃烧更多卡路里”。G项“Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging.”承接前文的“对身体有益”，说明倒走比向前走更具挑战性，为后文“消耗更多能量”的结论做铺垫，衔接自然。 4．后文提到“对膝盖疼痛的人可能有帮助，还能强健脊柱、缓解背部疼痛”，这部分内容围绕倒走对关节和脊柱的益处展开。E项“In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees.”作为段落总起句，引出后文对膝盖和脊柱的好处，符合语境。 Passage 2 (山东济南市钢城区2026年初中学业水平复习诊断测试二英语试题)So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. 1 Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. 2 As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e Ⅰ. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. 3 With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. 4 For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi. 5 From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. A．These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. B．But do you know how space scientists name them? C．However, there is still something unknown in space science. D．Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. E．Many famous poets in China express their love to the outer space. F．Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. G．And China became the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．F 5．G 【导语】本文介绍了嫦娥一号、“玉兔号”月球车、“墨子号”空间量子科学实验卫星等与中国古代传统文化之间的渊源，展示了我国传统文化对太空技术的深远影响。 【详解】51．根据“Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names.”可知，太空科学家在为卫星和宇宙飞船命名时，从古老传说和古代名人身上获得了极大的灵感，这解释了太空科学家是如何给它们命名的。选项B“但你知道太空科学家是怎么给它们命名的吗”符合语境。故选B。 1．根据“China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e Ⅰ. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit...”可知，中国第一颗绕月人造卫星被命名为“嫦娥一号”，月球车是以“玉兔”命名的，这些都跟“嫦娥奔月”这个故事有关，可以推断填入的句子提及了“嫦娥奔月”。选项D“嫦娥奔月是最受欢迎的故事之一”符合语境。故选D。 2．根据“With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true.”可知，随着科学技术的发展，科学家已经将它们变为现实，可以推断“它们”指代填入的句子中的内容。选项A“这些古老的故事承载着人们最美好的愿望和梦想”符合语境。故选A。 3．根据“So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi.”可知，中国首颗量子科学实验卫星被命名为“墨子”，墨子是中国古代的名人。选项F“除了古老的故事，太空科学家还从古代名人那里获得灵感”符合语境。故选F。 4．根据“So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi.”可知，此处提及了中国首颗量子科学实验卫星。选项G“中国成为世界上第一个实现卫星与地面量子通信的国家”符合语境。故选G。 Passage 3 (山东枣庄市2026年初中学业水平模拟考试英语试题)Whether you are preparing a presentation for a class, making a speech at a ceremony, or planning to join the debate team, knowing how to give a speech is an important skill to have. Learning to be more comfortable with public speaking will help you gain confidence. 1 Research your topic. Check out books from the library, talk to people who have knowledge about your subject, and search online for information. Write down facts that interest you, especially ones with numbers. 1 Write your speech. Writing a speech is different from writing an essay because your audience isn’t going to read what you write. 1 Think of your speech as your script (脚本). Read it out loud to make sure it sounds like you. Many people will generally remember one or two main points from a speech, so your speech doesn’t have to be long to be effective. 2 At first, you may read your speech without looking up from your paper. As you practice, try to memorize the main points. This will help you speak more naturally. You can also try writing your main points on note cards and marking words you want to pay special attention to. Manage your nerves. When the time comes to give the speech in class or at an event, it’s normal to feel nervous. Remember that audiences usually don’t notice when a mistake is made. 1 Be proud of having the chance to make a speech! A．Begin practicing. B．Here’s how to get started. C．They’re going to listen to what you have to say. D．So if you make one, take a breath and keep going. E．Numbers help to make a speech easy to remember.

There are countless kinds of smart home products, from heating to lighting to entertainment and security. Heating products may be equipped with temperature or humidity sensors (湿度传感器) that automatically turn on or off when required. 2 These home devices are really “smart”, as they have self-learning abilities. 3 As for smart home lighting controls, they help homeowners reduce electricity use and save energy-related costs. Some home automation systems even alert the homeowner if they detect any motion in the home when they’re away, while others can call the police or the fire department in case of danger. 4 Paul Boag, a user experience consultant from the UK, wrote on his blog that smart home devices are usually advertised as easy enough to fix by yourself. But this doesn’t seem to always be the case. For example, although Boag’s wife used to be a professional engineer, fitting the smart home light switches is a huge challenge even for her. Boag also mentioned apps (应用程序) for these smart home devices are always disappointing. 1 And what’s worse, every device has its own app, leading to a large number of apps for users to deal with. A．Some apps are not well-made as expected. B．However, there are still a few problems with smart homes. C．Smart home devices can work well without people’s control. D．They can learn the homeowner’s daily plans and make changes. E．Users can also set lights to change according to sunrise or sunset times. F．Such scenes show how smart homes can predict your arrival time exactly. 【答案】1．F 2．E 3．D 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了智能家居的概念、各类产品及其功能，同时也指出了智能家居目前存在的一些问题。 【详解】66．第一段前文描述了回家时灯光已亮、空调已开、米饭已煮好等场景，后文给出了智能家居的定义。选项F“Such scenes show how smart homes can predict your arrival time exactly.”能够承接上文的具体场景，总结这些场景体现了智能家居能精准预测到家时间，进而引出后文对智能家居的定义。 1．第二段前文提到“Heating products may be equipped with temperature or humidity sensors that automatically turn on or off when required.”，选项E“Users can also set lights to change according to sunrise or sunset times.”能够承接上文，继续举例说明智能家居产品的自动化功能，与上文“heating products”形成并列，都是在介绍不同类别的智能产品。 2．第三段前文提到“These home devices are really ‘smart’, as they have self-learning abilities.”，选项D“They can learn the homeowner’s daily plans and make changes.”能够承接上文，具体解释智能家居的“自学习能力”体现在哪里，即能学习主人的日常计划并做出调整，与后文“As for smart home lighting controls...”形成逻辑衔接。 3．第四段后文提到Paul Boag的博客内容，指出智能家居设备并不像广告说的那样容易自行安装，即使是专业工程师也觉得有挑战。选项B“However, there are still a few problems with smart homes.”能够承接上文第三段对智能家居优点的介绍，用“However”转折引出智能家居存在的问题，与后文具体的安装难题形成逻辑呼应。 4．第五段前文提到“Boag also mentioned apps for these smart home devices are always disappointing.”，后文提到“And what’s worse, every device has its own app, leading to a large number of apps for users to deal with.”，选项A“Some apps are not well-made as expected.”能够承接上文，具体说明应用程序令人失望的表现——制作不够精良，与后文“更糟糕的是”形成递进关系。 Passage 5 (2026年山东青岛市市北区九年级英语质量调研)Nowadays, family travel is obviously becoming more and more popular. It is an excellent way for families to connect, learn, develop relationships, and bridge the generation gap. It enables you to connect with your loved ones in a way that is impossible at home. Specifically, family travel has the following advantages. Family travel gives you the chance to spend meaningful time together with your family without the stress of work, school, or other things. It offers an environment where everyone can communicate, laugh, and express their views and feelings to one another. 1 Family travel can also be a great learning experience. You will learn about new cultures, languages, and ideas during travel. 2 Besides, it also provides you with the opportunity to get some hands-on experience, such as practicing a foreign language. 3 Children can develop life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and independence during travel. Similarly, adults can learn new ways of parenting and strengthen their own social skills alongside their children. Family travel encourages your desire (渴望) to try new things. 4 It’s about exploring new airports, finding your way around new cities, and stepping out of your familiar environment. It provides a sense of excitement and desire to learn more about the world. Traveling with your family provides a chance to develop new family traditions that can be carried on. 5 Or you may develop a new tradition of taking a family vacation to a new place every year. A．Travel itself can be seen as an adventure. B．As a result, your world view will become richer. C．Camping is another option that comes with family travel. D．This helps deepen the relationship between family members. E．Traveling as a family helps both children and adults develop life skills.

We can use this technology in many different places. 1 How Does a Machine Learn to Recognise You? Step 1: Finding a Face The camera looks for basic parts of a face—two eyes, a nose and a mouth. At first, the computer only finds a shape that looks like a face. It doesn’t know whether it is a real person’s face. Step 2: Mapping Facial Features (特点) Once a face is found, the system carefully checks the key features. It studies how far the two eyes are apart, where the nose is, and how the mouth looks. All these form a person’s information. 1 Step 3: Turning Faces into Data (数据) After your key features turn into numbers, the face becomes a set of data. Computers are good at processing numbers, so this data of your face is stored on the machine or compared with a large database (数据库). 1 Step 4: Learning with AI With the help of AI technology, the computer studies thousands of face photos. 1 Smiling, wearing glasses or growing older will not fool the system. Step 5: Matching and Decision-Making Instead of giving a direct yes or no, the system provides a similarity score. A high enough score means a successful match, allowing your phone to unlock or letting you enter. Today, face recognition is widely used to unlock phones and organize photos. Airports also use it to check important lists. 1 Luckily, scientists and engineers are trying hard to improve it. They hope to make it safer and more useful for everyone. A．It can tell how people feel from their faces. B．However, the technology still has some problems. C．It slowly learns which parts of the face never change. D．For example, we can see it from smartphones to airport safety systems. E．If the new data matches the saved one, the system knows who you are. F．The information is turned into numbers, creating a special “faceprint” for each person. 【答案】1．D 2．F 3．E 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了面部识别技术的工作原理，分为五个步骤：寻找人脸、映射面部特点、转化为数据、通过AI学习、匹配与决策，并提到了该技术的应用场景及当前存在的问题。 【详解】91．空前一句提到“We can use this technology in many different places.”，空处应举例说明具体的使用地点。选项D“For example, we can see it from smartphones to airport safety systems.”完美承接上文。 1．空前一句提到“All these form a person’s information.”，而下一段的标题和首句提到了“Turning Faces into Data”以及“turn into numbers”。选项F“The information is turned into numbers, creating a special ‘faceprint’ for each person.”正好承上启下，连接了“信息”与“数字”。 2．空前一句提到“this data of your face is stored on the machine or compared with a large database.”，空处应说明数据比较之后的结果。选项E“If the new data matches the saved one, the system knows who you are.”顺理成章地解释了比对成功的后果。 3．空后一句提到“Smiling, wearing glasses or growing older will not fool the system.”，这说明系统掌握了人脸不受表情、装饰或年龄影响的特征。选项C“It slowly learns which parts of the face never change.”正好解释了为什么系统不会被欺骗的原因。 4．空前列举了人脸识别在当今社会的广泛应用，空后一句提到“Luckily, scientists and engineers are trying hard to improve it.”，既然需要“改进”，说明目前的技术还存在不足。选项B“However, the technology still has some problems.”构成了完美的转折，引出下文的“改进”。 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 (山东省德州市禹城市 2026年九年级中考模拟英语试题（B）)★“Reduce, reuse, recycle,” these are the three Rs that environmental activists have stressed. 1 Recently, this idea came to life in China in a clever way in a famous scenic spot (风景区) in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province. ★With the arrival of the tourist season, the scenic spot has been crowded with visitors around 20, 000 a day since July. With so many people, the challenge of managing waste has become more serious, putting cleaners under pressure. The scenic spot came up with a fun way to help: “ 2 ” Here’s how it works: Visitors are given trash bags and encouraged to pick up litter around the site (地点). In return, they get small gifts showing Dunhuang’s rich culture. ★Isn’t this another good form of the three Rs spirit? I still remember going to some scenic spots, especially historical sites where people gather in a small area. 3 Not only does it influence the cleanliness of a site, but it is also likely to harm the natural environment. So, when I saw how the program was carried out, it was clear this way was more than just a trick to attract attention.

Pandas eat bamboo every day, and people can also eat it. 2 Some bamboo grows so quickly that people say they can watch it grow. Normal bamboo grows 3-10 cm a day. It usually grows in tropical (热带的) areas. 3 Bamboo plants are found in Asia, Australia, parts of Africa, and South America. One of the world’s oldest building materials is bamboo. They used it to build houses, boats and bridges. The Chinese made a bamboo bridge over the Min River in Sichuan, China almost 1,000 years ago. 4 Also, bamboo is still used to make houses today, especially in China and the Philippines. As a part of history, bamboo is very important. The great scientist Thomas Edison wanted to use a special material inside the light bulb (灯泡) to burn for a long time. He tried almost 1,000 different types of materials. 5 One day, he tried to use a piece of bamboo and the light bulb lit up for over a thousand hours. This invention helped other scientists to make the modern light bulb we use today. A．You can still visit it today. B．There are over 1,000 ways to use it. C．However, none worked very well.

You are not alone. Procrastination (拖延)—the act of delaying something you should be doing—is a common habit. 1 The good news is that you can learn to beat it with a few simple strategies. Start by breaking down a large task into smaller ones. A big project can feel scary, which makes you want to avoid it. 2 For example, instead of “write a report,” try “find three sources” or “write the first paragraph.” Each small win gives you a sense of progress. Another useful method is the “five-minute rule.” Tell yourself you will work on the task for just five minutes. 3 Often, starting is the hardest part. Once you begin, it’s much easier to continue. You may even find yourself working much longer than five minutes. Also, remove distractions (干扰). Put your phone in another room, close unneeded browser tabs, and tell your family you need quiet time. 4 5 Don’t expect to change overnight. If you procrastinate again, don’t give up. Just try the strategies again the next day. Over time, your brain will learn that starting is not so painful after all. A．Most people procrastinate because they fear failure. B．But this feeling usually appears once you take the first step. C．It might seem too simple, but it really works. D．The key is to focus on the very next small action. E．These small changes can greatly improve your focus. F．Finally, be patient with yourself. G．Why do we always choose to do easier things first? Passage 2 (山东省济南市商河县2026年九年级学业水平第二次模拟考试英语)Learning to be more independent is a skill that will help you face challenges and make decisions as you grow older. 1 Being independent can mean different things to different people. Mostly, it is about being able to take care of yourself, make your own decisions, and be responsible for things in your life. However, it does not mean you have to do everything alone. 1 There are many benefits (益处). Independent children are more likely to try new things and deal with problems better when things go wrong. As we grow up, it’s important to manage feelings and situations by ourselves. This builds confidence. 2 How can you be more independent? 1 Ask parents or teachers to let you practice a skill without their help. If you fail, try again. Start small and build confidence. Independence doesn’t mean doing everything alone. 2 Believe in yourself. A big part of becoming independent is having the confidence to know you can make decisions, try new things, and think for yourself. A．Why is it important? B．What is being independent? C．When should you be independent? D．If you feel worried, ask someone for help. E．Try new activities or solve problems on your own. F．Being independent can also make you less nervous. G．This is the most important thing about being independent. Passage 3 (山东济南市天桥区 2026年九年级学业水平考试模拟测试 英语试题)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 popular activity is a kind of walking meditation (冥想). 1 There are many benefits of walking meditation. Many adults do not get enough exercise. 2 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. 3 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. 4 Second, pick one color, such as red, blue, yellow, or green. Then look for different shades (色调) 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 thing. You can change colors every 10 minutes or walk with a friend. 5 The most important thing is to get outside, exercise, and practice mindfulness. A．My favourite season is spring. B．There is no wrong way to do it. C．Helping others brings us happiness. D．Focus on what you see, hear, and smell around you. E．For some people, sitting meditation is very difficult. F．It is also very hot on TikTok with millions of views. G．Taking a 30-minute walk five times a week is good for your health. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 (2026年山东济南市历下区九年级英语学情调研)For many teenagers, it’s hard to run away from the pressure to be perfect. They push themselves to get straight A’s, star on the sports field, present a perfect social media look, and even be the “best” friend or family member. 1 What they don’t always realize, however, is the bad effects this habit has on their mental health. Perfectionism is not the same as going for excellence. 2 Going for excellence means enjoying the process of growing and accepting small failures as part of learning. Perfectionism, on the other hand, is controlled by fear and self-doubt. It is an all-or-nothing mindset (心态) that tells them “If I am not the best, I am a loser.” 3 One of the most harmful results of perfectionism is putting things off. The fear of not being perfect often stops teenagers from starting a task at all. They would rather avoid trying than face possible imperfection, creating a harmful cycle of avoidance. Thoughts like “If I can’t write the perfect paper, I won’t even start” become common, causing late work and increasing pressure. 1 It slowly breaks their ability to overcome difficulties. When every small mistake is seen as a shame, it is difficult to build healthy self-confidence. A low grade or simple bad words can make them doubt their own value for a long time. The good news is that teenagers can get out of the perfectionism trouble. Start by treating mistakes as necessary learning steps. 2 Instead of being hard on yourself for not being good enough, praise yourself for trying your best. Over time, you will feel lighter and more confident. A．Everyone needs to learn from successful people. B．Learn to accept “good” instead of always requiring “perfect”. C．The key difference is how people look at progress and mistakes. D．So why do parents push teenagers so hard in study and daily life? E．Perfectionism can also hurt their confidence when facing problems. F．They are taught that perfect performances make them popular and respected. G．This fixed way of thinking easily leads to high levels of stress and nervousness. Passage 2 (2026年山东省济南市高新区中考二模英语试题)When students think of a real friend, they often imagine someone kind, loyal (忠诚的), and always ready to help. 1 Yet sometimes a friend is most helpful not when they give quick advice, but when they help us think more clearly. For example, imagine a student who is upset after an argument. One friend quickly says, “Forget it. You did nothing wrong.” Another friend listens first and then asks, “What do you think hurt you most?” The second answer may sound less comfortable at first. 2 In fact, discomfort and usefulness are not always opposites. This is because thoughtful friendship often gives us a chance to reflect (反思). Real friends do not simply protect our feelings when we meet problems. 3 They may help us notice when we are hiding, blaming, or refusing to see another side. That kind of support can be challenging, but it often leads to stronger self-understanding. Of course, this does not mean friends should turn every talk into a lesson. Friendship still needs warmth and acceptance. 4 If every conversation feels like a lesson, trust may become weaker, not stronger. Good friendship makes honesty possible because care comes first. What matters is balance. Good friends know when to stand beside us quietly, when to encourage us, and when to ask one honest question that opens a deeper view. These moments may not look dramatic (激动人心的), but they often shape how young people understand problems and choices. In this sense, friendship is not only social support, but also one place where self-understanding can grow. 1 A．But it may lead to a better understanding of the problem. B．That is why students should solve problems by themselves. C．It can also change how we see both ourselves and others. D．These good values play an important role in students’ lives. E．They must also avoid sounding unfriendly or too sure of themselves. F．Real friends should always agree with each other completely. G．Instead, they sometimes make it possible for us to face them honestly. Passage 3 (2026年山东省济南市平阴县九年级学业水平考试英语模拟试题二)When we learn a language, the goal is often to be able to have conversations with other people. But there’s a question that a lot of people ask online— 1 Writing, speaking, reading, and listening are different skills. When you write and speak, you’re producing something. 2 When you read and listen, you’re receiving information and trying to understand it. So, reading and listening are called passive skills (被动技能). For that reason, some learners believe written language is quite different from spoken language. They don’t think reading is very useful for improving speaking. 3 A study of English students in Bangladesh found that 80% thought reading had improved their speaking, while 75% said it had improved their imagination or vocabulary (词汇量). And experts say this is important: reading can add words to our vocabulary, and show us how words and grammar are used in different situations. Teachers often divide reading into two types (类型): extensive reading and intensive reading (泛读和精读). The goal of extensive reading is enjoyment, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand every word. 4 Intensive reading is often led by teachers. They choose stories or texts that are used for certain language-learning goals. Research has shown that both types of reading can be really useful in helping students speak better. 5 So, if we want to speak a language well, we should pay attention to reading. A．What can we do to improve our writing? B．Does reading help us with our speaking? C．Listening is also a good way to learn a language. D．But many other learners believe reading is important. E．They can improve their vocabulary and understanding. F．Because of this, writing and speaking are called active skills. G．With extensive reading, students usually choose what they want to read. Passage 4 Rock Paper Scissors: An Ancient Game with Modern Competitions (2026年山东省青岛市市南区中考二模英语试题) Have you ever used Rock Paper Scissors to settle (解决) a disagreement? This simple game actually originated (起源) in China over 2,000 years ago. Origins and Development According to Wuzazu (《五杂俎》) from the Ming Dynasty, the game dates back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD). It was first called “Shoushiling”, meaning “hand command game.” 1 . From Japan, it reached Europe and America in the early 20th century. 2 Although the game seems to depend on luck, research shows several winning tips: ◇First throw matters. Studies show men often start with Rock, while women prefer Scissors. Adjust your first move accordingly—Paper beats Rock, and Rock beats Scissors. ◇Losers change patterns. 1 . Use this tip to guess their next move. ◇Beginners love Rock. 2 . Beat them with Paper. Chinese scientists have confirmed these patterns through research. Modern Competitions Today, Rock Paper Scissors has become an organized sport. The World Rock Paper Scissors Association (WRPSA) runs official tournaments, including yearly World Championships with prize money up to $ 50,000. 1 . It has held national championships since 2003. In 2019, Beijing hosted the World Championship, and organizers said the game is an intangible cultural heritage full of ancient Chinese wisdom. Next time you play, use these tips—and remember you are taking part in a tradition with over 2,000 years of history. A．How to Gain an Advantage B．New players often choose Rock because it feels strong C．Many people play this game just for fun in their daily life D．Later, the game spread to Japan and became modern rock-paper-scissors E．China now officially recognizes rock-paper-scissors as a competitive game F．After losing, most players change to a move that beats the other’s last choice Passage 5 (2026年山东省潍坊市市区中考二模考试英语试题)Some people think only school children don’t agree with their parents. However, it is not true. 1 If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟). 2 Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go somewhere to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter. Try to reach a compromise (和解). 3 You can try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a mobile phone. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the mobile phone, but only used it on certain days. Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. 4 Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. 5 Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try! A．Try not to argue with your parents. B．Tell your parents what you care about and why. C．You shouldn’t depend too much on your parents. D．Showing respect will keep your relationship strong. E．Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. F．Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 (山东省德州市临邑县 2026年九年级第二次素养监测 英语试题)Bird-watching is more than just a hobby; it is a bridge between humans and nature. 1 , who is a 38-year-old bird-watcher in Hong Kong. Speirs lived in Beijing before moving to Hong Kong. His love for birds dates back to his childhood in South Africa. However, he only took this hobby more seriously during the COVID-19 pandemic, when birding became popular worldwide. One day, Speirs heard the clear call of a hoopoe (戴胜) at Beijing’s Olympic Forest Park. 1 . “I had no idea hoopoes could be found in China, so it was amazing to see the same bird thousands of kilometers away from its African habitat (栖息地),” he said. 2 , largely through eBird, an app developed by Cornell University in the US. “It allows people around the world to record the birds they see, check birding hot spots and find out which species (物种) they might see in one area.” As introduced on eBird’s official website, every recorded sighting provides valuable data for scientific research. 3 . “The most surprising thing I’ve learned is how far birds travel: A bird I see in Hong Kong today might be in Beijing in just a few days and the Arctic Circle in a few weeks,” he said. This idea has greatly raised his environmental awareness (意识): “ 4 . It is our responsibility to protect the environment.” A．Through his hobby, Speirs has developed a deeper understanding of birds and nature B．It’s a bird he had always connected with African safaris (观兽旅行) C．A birding is always travelling over the world to watch kinds of birds D．A key part of Speirs’ bird-watching journey is his work in citizen science E．This belief has guided James Speirs’ love for birding (观鸟) F．Earth works as one system, and what happens in one place can influence places far away 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 (山东省济南市槐荫区2026年学业水平阶段性调研测试九年级英语)No matter whether it is during the holidays or at any time of the year, as long as we choose to move, every step we take can bring good changes to our body and mind. So, choose the way that fits you best! Move your way! Have you ever thought about what really makes people achieve great things? Take Newton as an example. He didn’t just care about the apple falling; he kept asking why it fell straight down. 1 After watching how people act in different areas for many years, I have realized something very important. Two qualities, curiosity (好奇心) and dissatisfaction, set great achievers apart from those who have no special performance. 2 You need both to be great. Luckily, we don’t need to learn these qualities. We are born with them, and we just need to bring them back. A great man from ancient China once said, “The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.” 3 We stop asking questions. We stop going against the usual ways. We just follow what others do. So we must push ourselves to wake them up and keep them active. Then, how can you start? 4 A friend of mine couldn’t cook well. She was curious about how to improve, so she started with simple dishes. Now she cooks for her family with joy. Another way to start is to answer the excuses you make for yourself. Do you think you have no special ability or time? Many people without special abilities or with little time still manage to get things done. Harriet Stowe, a mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while she was cooking. 5 Remember that Thomas Costain published his first novel at 57, and Grandma Moses showed her first pictures at 78. No matter how you start, always remember that there is no better time to start than right now, because you will never be more full of life than you are at this moment. A．Do you ever worry that your age might hold you back? B．You should always wait until you feel fully ready to begin. C．Being naturally talented is the most important thing for success. D．However, most of us do lose that childlike habit of asking “why”. E．Pick something in a small way so that you won’t get disappointed. F．I have never known an excellent man who lacked both of them. G．Just like him, all the great people in history were curious and always kept asking questions out of dissatisfaction. Passage 2 (2026年山东省济南市市中区中考英语二模试卷)Do you like letting others borrow your things? Sharing games, food and your time can make you feel closer and more connected. But what does sharing really mean? Sharing means offering part of what you have to someone else. This could be something you own or things you can’t see such as your thoughts and feelings. But sharing isn’t always easy for everyone. Maybe you don’t like handing over a favorite book or letting others know how you feel. Or perhaps you find it hard to say “no” when friends ask to borrow your things. 1 Sharing also brings health benefits. Sharing good news with someone makes you feel happier. This is because your brain gives off a feel-good chemical called oxytocin (催产素)—which also happens when we share a hug. 2 When you share your feelings, you build up trust. This gives you a “sense of belonging” and helps you know you’re not alone. So how can you practice sharing in daily life? Try taking something to school or a club to share at break time, like a snack or a new game. Talk about a film, a book or music you like and see where the conversation goes. 3 You can do so by sharing small feelings first, and try to match what others tell you. For example, if someone tells you about their interests or hobbies, share yours too. 4 Listening carefully when others speak will make it easier for people to share with you. You can nod or give short responses like “I see” to show you’re focused. Sometimes they just need someone to listen, so you don’t need to give advice right away. They will be thankful if you just allow them to “talk it out”. 5 Start today, and you’ll soon find that every bit you give away, you get back in warmth and connection. A．However, sharing isn’t just about talking. B．Some people are better at sharing than others. C．Studies show sharing helps you feel less stressed. D．Perhaps it’s hard to just listen when you can’t help. E．Sharing is a skill you build, not a gift you’re born with. F．The good news is, this is a skill that you can learn gradually. G．If you want to get better at sharing your feelings, start slowly. 主题02 人与社会 Passage 1 (2026年山东济南市长清区九年级阶段检测英语试题)Is there a way to quickly recall information just before taking an exam? 1 Scientists from the University of Roehampton in the UK said this activity can help people improve their short-term memory. Researchers asked 114 volunteers to watch a video. After watching the video, the volunteers were divided into three groups. 2 The second group walked 10 meters backwards. The third group stood in one place. All the groups were then asked 20 questions about what they saw in the video. The scientists found that the backward-walking group got two more answers correct on average (平均) than the other two groups. This suggests that the link between the concepts of time and space is important in how our minds form memories. “Time is really expressed through space,” Aleksandar Aksentijevic, who led the study, told the Daily Mail. When you walk backward, you see things from a different angle. 3 And walking backward is also good for the rest of our body. 4 This can help us improve our fitness, according to New Scientist. Walking backward uses more energy in a short time and burns more calories (卡路里). 5 It could be helpful for people who often have pain in their knees, according to researchers from the University of Oregon in the US. Walking backward also keeps our spines strong, which can help to ease pain in the lower back. This might be why many old people like walking backward. A．Walking backward might help you. B．Your memory might just thank you for it. C．One group was told to walk 10 meters forward. D．Sometimes, the best way forward really is a step back. E．In addition, walking backward is less stressful for our knees. F．This difference helps people recall things that happened in the past. G．Compared to walking forward, walking backward is more challenging. Passage 2 (山东济南市钢城区2026年初中学业水平复习诊断测试二英语试题)So far, China has successfully sent a large number of satellites (卫星) and spaceships into space. 1 Space scientists have been greatly inspired (赋予灵感) by the old stories and ancient famous people when giving them names. Since thousands of years ago, Chinese people have dreamed of going to the moon. 2 As you can see, China’s first man-made satellite to circle around the moon was named Chang’e Ⅰ. More interestingly, the moon rover (巡视器) was named after the Jade Rabbit, who is the partner of Chang’e in the story. 3 With the development of science and technology, our scientists have made them come true. 4 For example, Mozi, an ancient scientist, discovered that light travels in a straight line over 2,000 years ago. His discovery made space study take a big step at that time. So, China’s first quantum (量子) science satellite was named Mozi. 5 From such simple things as giving names to the satellites, we can see how great our traditional culture is and what influence it has on our modern science and technology. A．These old stories carry people’s best wishes and dreams. B．But do you know how space scientists name them? C．However, there is still something unknown in space science. D．Chang’e Flies to the Moon is one of the most popular stories. E．Many famous poets in China express their love to the outer space. F．Besides the ancient stories, space scientists also get ideas from ancient famous people. G．And China became the first country in the world to achieve quantum communication between satellites and the ground. Passage 3 (山东枣庄市2026年初中学业水平模拟考试英语试题)Whether you are preparing a presentation for a class, making a speech at a ceremony, or planning to join the debate team, knowing how to give a speech is an important skill to have. Learning to be more comfortable with public speaking will help you gain confidence. 1 Research your topic. Check out books from the library, talk to people who have knowledge about your subject, and search online for information. Write down facts that interest you, especially ones with numbers. 1 Write your speech. Writing a speech is different from writing an essay because your audience isn’t going to read what you write. 1 Think of your speech as your script (脚本). Read it out loud to make sure it sounds like you. Many people will generally remember one or two main points from a speech, so your speech doesn’t have to be long to be effective. 2 At first, you may read your speech without looking up from your paper. As you practice, try to memorize the main points. This will help you speak more naturally. You can also try writing your main points on note cards and marking words you want to pay special attention to. Manage your nerves. When the time comes to give the speech in class or at an event, it’s normal to feel nervous. Remember that audiences usually don’t notice when a mistake is made. 1 Be proud of having the chance to make a speech! A．Begin practicing. B．Here’s how to get started.

Passage 4 (山东省滨州市滨城区2025—2026学年第二学期第二次质量测试 英语试题)When you come back to your home on a hot summer night, you find that the lights are already on, the air conditioner has been working for 30 minutes to cool the room, and the rice you prepared this morning has been cooked just before you arrive. … 1 A smart home is a home where users can remotely control devices (设备) from anywhere with an internet connection using a mobile phone or other networked devices. There are countless kinds of smart home products, from heating to lighting to entertainment and security. Heating products may be equipped with temperature or humidity sensors (湿度传感器) that automatically turn on or off when required. 2 These home devices are really “smart”, as they have self-learning abilities. 3 As for smart home lighting controls, they help homeowners reduce electricity use and save energy-related costs. Some home automation systems even alert the homeowner if they detect any motion in the home when they’re away, while others can call the police or the fire department in case of danger. 4 Paul Boag, a user experience consultant from the UK, wrote on his blog that smart home devices are usually advertised as easy enough to fix by yourself. But this doesn’t seem to always be the case. For example, although Boag’s wife used to be a professional engineer, fitting the smart home light switches is a huge challenge even for her. Boag also mentioned apps (应用程序) for these smart home devices are always disappointing. 1 And what’s worse, every device has its own app, leading to a large number of apps for users to deal with.

Specifically, family travel has the following advantages. Family travel gives you the chance to spend meaningful time together with your family without the stress of work, school, or other things.

Passage 6 (山东省青岛市胶州市2026年九年级第二次模拟考试英语试题)Face recognition (识别) is an amazing technology that helps computers tell people’s faces apart. We can use this technology in many different places. 1 How Does a Machine Learn to Recognise You? Step 1: Finding a Face The camera looks for basic parts of a face—two eyes, a nose and a mouth. At first, the computer only finds a shape that looks like a face. It doesn’t know whether it is a real person’s face. Step 2: Mapping Facial Features (特点) Once a face is found, the system carefully checks the key features. It studies how far the two eyes are apart, where the nose is, and how the mouth looks. All these form a person’s information. 1 Step 3: Turning Faces into Data (数据) After your key features turn into numbers, the face becomes a set of data. Computers are good at processing numbers, so this data of your face is stored on the machine or compared with a large database (数据库). 1 Step 4: Learning with AI With the help of AI technology, the computer studies thousands of face photos. 1 Smiling, wearing glasses or growing older will not fool the system. Step 5: Matching and Decision-Making Instead of giving a direct yes or no, the system provides a similarity score. A high enough score means a successful match, allowing your phone to unlock or letting you enter. Today, face recognition is widely used to unlock phones and organize photos. Airports also use it to check important lists. 1 Luckily, scientists and engineers are trying hard to improve it. They hope to make it safer and more useful for everyone. A．It can tell how people feel from their faces. B．However, the technology still has some problems. C．It slowly learns which parts of the face never change. D．For example, we can see it from smartphones to airport safety systems. E．If the new data matches the saved one, the system knows who you are. F．The information is turned into numbers, creating a special “faceprint” for each person. 主题03 人与自然 Passage 1 (山东省德州市禹城市 2026年九年级中考模拟英语试题（B）)★“Reduce, reuse, recycle,” these are the three Rs that environmental activists have stressed. 1 Recently, this idea came to life in China in a clever way in a famous scenic spot (风景区) in Dunhuang, Northwest China’s Gansu Province. ★With the arrival of the tourist season, the scenic spot has been crowded with visitors around 20, 000 a day since July.
