专题03阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·河北省唐山交大实验学校·二模） Hairy Eggshells While eggs are a favorite food all around the world, the eggshells are usually thrown away. But you can turn them into seed (种子) pots. You need: eggs, markers, some grass seeds, an egg box and a sponge (海绵) cut into small pieces. Then follow these simple steps: Step 1 Carefully break each egg into two parts. Try to make one part a lot bigger than the other. Throw away the smaller part. Save the insides, and use them later for cooking. Step 2 Clean the eggshells. Let them dry. Step 3 Draw faces on the outsides of the dry eggshells. Step 4 Wet each sponge piece. Place a sponge inside each eggshell. Step 5 Spread some seeds on top of the sponges. Step 6 Use the egg box to hold the eggshells. Step 7 Water the eggshells every day. The seeds will sprout (发芽) in about one week, and the eggshell faces will have green hair! 1．How many things do you need to make hairy eggshells? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．Which of the following can be a seed pot after Step 1? A． B． C． D． 3．Where is this text probably from? A．A geography paper. B．A cooking book. C．A gardening magazine.

Try to make one part a lot bigger than the other. Throw away the smaller part”可知，经过第一步后，较大的蛋壳部分可以作为种子花盆。故选B。 3．本文主要介绍了如何将蛋壳改造成种子花盆，涉及园艺和种植的相关内容，因此最可能来自一本园艺杂志。故选C。 Passage 2 （2026·河北省唐山市迁安市·二模） Are you a fan of seafood? How do you deal with the seashells (贝壳) after eating? Well, most people throw them away. Tons of seashells end up as waste. But Dr. Rosa Isela from Mexico and her team have turned the waste seashells into a white thing called chitosan (壳聚糖). It is different from plastic—it breaks down easily in the environment. It is safer and can be used in many ways. Chitosan helps keep fish healthy. Sometimes, harmful bacteria (细菌) grow in the water and make the baby fish sick. Chitosan has a positive charge (电荷). Bacteria have a negative charge. When chitosan touches bacteria, it sticks to them quickly. This kills the bacteria or stops them from growing. Chitosan can also help keep fruit fresh. Farmers use it to make a special cover on fruit. First, it kills bacteria to stop the fruit from going bad. Second, it locks water inside to keep the fruit from getting dry. Third, it slows down the fruit’s breathing, so fruit saves energy and stays fresh longer. Chitosan can have a real difference especially for cities on the coast. People there, both locals and visitors, eat a lot of seafood, so tons of shells are thrown away every day. Now those shells can be used to make chitosan. In this way, waste becomes something useful. This is a good example of how science can turn waste into value. Chitosan helps people and brings us hope for a greener future. 1．What is chitosan made from? A．Seashells. B．Clean water. C．Fresh fruit. D．Plastic waste. 2．How does chitosan help fish? A．By serving as food for fish. B．By sticking to the bacteria. C．By cleaning the fish’s body. D．By giving fish more energy. 3．Which is NOT a way chitosan keeps fruit fresh? A．Killing bacteria. B．Locking water inside. C．Making fruit taste sweeter. D．Slowing down the fruit’s breathing. 4．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the text? A．Health & Medicine. B．Food & Culture. C．Travel & Geography. D．Science & Environment. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了墨西哥科学家Dr. Rosa Isela及其团队将废弃贝壳转化为壳聚糖的过程，以及壳聚糖在养鱼、保鲜水果和环保方面的应用。 【详解】1．文章第一段指出“Dr. Rosa Isela from Mexico and her team have turned the waste seashells into a white thing called chitosan.”，说明壳聚糖是由贝壳制成的。 2．文章第二段指出“When chitosan touches bacteria, it sticks to them quickly. This kills the bacteria or stops them from growing.”，说明壳聚糖通过附着在细菌上进而杀死或阻止细菌生长来帮助鱼类。 3．文章第三段指出壳聚糖保鲜水果的三种方式：杀死细菌（kills bacteria）、锁住水分（locks water inside）、减缓呼吸（slows down the fruit’s breathing）。未提到“让水果味道更甜”。 4．文章介绍了贝壳废弃物转化为壳聚糖的科学方法及其环保应用，属于科学与环境领域。因此最可能出现在杂志的“Science & Environment”部分。 Passage 3 （2026·河北省张家口市·二模） Don’t know how to start with new classmates?

We use plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic boxes and many other plastic products every day. However, the overuse of plastic brings serious environmental problems, which has become a big challenge for our planet. Most plastic products are hard to break down. They can stay in the environment for hundreds of years, polluting the land, rivers and oceans. For example, plastic bags often end up in rivers and seas, hurting marine animals like fish and turtles. Some plastic waste is burned, which produces harmful gases and pollutes the air. Besides, making plastic needs a lot of energy and resources, which is not good for sustainable development. To solve the plastic pollution problem, we can take some simple actions in our daily life. We can use reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags when shopping. We can choose glass or metal bottles instead of plastic ones. We should also throw plastic waste into the right dustbins so that it can be recycled properly. Many countries have also made rules to limit the use of single-use plastics, such as plastic straws and plastic forks. It’s everyone’s responsibility to reduce plastic use and protect our environment. By changing our small habits, we can cut down plastic pollution and make our planet cleaner and greener. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Plastic is widely used in daily life.

Different people may have different answers, but there are some common secrets. First, good communication is the bridge of a great team. Team members need to talk openly and listen to each other carefully. When someone has a problem, others should offer help instead of criticizing. For example, in our class basketball team, we have a rule: before each game, we have a 10-minute meeting to discuss strategies. This helps us work better together. Second, a shared goal is the direction of a great team. All members should work towards the same goal. If everyone has different ideas, the team can't move forward. Once, our science team decided to build a small robot. At first, some members wanted to focus on appearance, while others cared more about function. We had a long discussion and finally agreed on a shared goal—to make a useful and attractive robot. Third, respect is the foundation of a great team. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We should respect each other's differences. For example, in our group project, Tom is good at designing, and I am good at writing reports. We respect each other's skills and work together smoothly. In fact, a great team is not about having the best members, but about working together in the right way. When team members communicate well, share the same goal and respect each other, they can overcome any difficulty. 1．What is the bridge of a great team according to the passage? A．Good communication. B．A shared goal. C．Respect. D．Leadership. 2．Why does the basketball team have a meeting before each game? A．To criticize team members. B．To discuss strategies. C．To show their skills. D．To relax before the game. 3．What happened to the science team at first? A．They had different ideas about the robot. B．They agreed on the robot’s design immediately. C．They finished the robot very quickly. D．They gave up building the robot. 4．What does the writer think is the most important for a great team? A．Having the best members. B．Working together in the right way. C．Knowing each other well. D．Making strict rules. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The secrets of a great team. B．The importance of communication. C．How to build a robot with a team. D．The role of leadership in a team. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了打造优秀团队的几个共同秘诀，包括良好的沟通、共同的目标和相互尊重，指出优秀的团队不在于拥有最优秀的成员，而在于以正确的方式合作。 【详解】1．第一段指出：“First, good communication is the bridge of a great team.”，因此优秀团队的桥梁是良好的沟通。 2．第一段说明：“For example, in our class basketball team, we have a rule: before each game, we have a 10-minute meeting to discuss strategies.”，因此篮球队赛前开会是为了讨论战术。 3．第二段提到：“Once, our science team decided to build a small robot. At first, some members wanted to focus on appearance, while others cared more about function.”，因此科学团队一开始对机器人有不同的想法。 4．最后一段指出：“In fact, a great team is not about having the best members, but about working together in the right way.”，因此作者认为优秀团队最重要的是以正确的方式合作。 5．文章首段点明：“What makes a great team?

This dog is most likely a service animal. A service animal is an animal that is trained to do things for people who cannot do them alone because of a disability. Dogs are most often used as service animals because they are smart animals. They also have a good sense of smell and can sense dangerous situations. In addition, dogs are easy to train and are loyal (忠诚的) to their owners. When in danger, dogs will do anything to keep their owners safe. Service dogs are sometimes called guide dogs or hearing dogs. These dogs can help people who cannot see or hear. They are trained to open and close a door, push a button (按键), and follow an order. If their owner needs medical attention, the dogs are trained to bark (吠叫) and get help. Dogs can also be used as therapy dogs. They may visit a school or hospital to help people who are feeling lonely or worried. Therapy dogs can provide kindness and love to improve a person’s spirits, which can then improve that person’s health. Although dogs are the most common service animals, there are other animals that can be trained to be service animals as well. You might see a cat, a rabbit or a horse that is used as a service animal. These animals can keep a person company and become good friends. 1．What do “therapy dogs” do? A．They keep people safe.

It includes real wisdom (智慧) about how to live well through “patience”. Developing patience helps us stay calm, make wiser choices and achieve our goals more easily. The good news is that patience is a skill we can all learn and improve with simple daily habits. One good way to build patience is to stop for a while. When feeling angry, try taking three deep breaths or counting to ten slowly. This short break gives your mind time to become calm and choose a better answer. For example, if a classmate says something bad, waiting for a few seconds before answering often leads to a wiser talk instead of an argument. Another effective (有效的) way is to break big tasks into smaller, easy parts. When facing a difficult task or a long project, focus on doing just one part at a time. For example, finishing reading a thick book will become easier if you aim to finish one chapter (章) per day. Similarly, …This way, they reach their goals step by step. We can also practice patience by getting used to waiting. Next time you are in line or waiting for a friend, don’t check your phone right away. Instead, notice what is happening around you or just relax. These small moments help your mind accept delays (延迟) without being bored. Practicing these simple methods often can help us develop patience and make life more peaceful. However, in today’s fast-paced world, developing patience faces new challenges. Although modern technology, like smartphones and AI, is easy to use, it has drawbacks. For example, using AI translation tools may stop us from learning a new language well. It makes us want immediate results, and that is bad for building patience. As our world keeps getting faster, learning to be patient may be more important than ever. So, let’s start developing our patience from now on. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a story. B．By showing a saying. C．By sending a message.

Computers have become a necessary tool in our daily life, making work and study easier. But how can we use them properly to stay fit? First, we need to pay attention to the viewing distance. When the screen is too close to our eyes, it may cause eye stress and tiredness. Experts suggest that the distance between the eyes and the screen should be around 35 to 60 centimeters. If you feel your eyes becoming dry or painful, it’s a sign that you need a short rest. Second, sitting posture (坐姿) matters a lot. A footrest (脚凳) can be helpful if your feet cannot rest directly on the floor. For those who use laptops (笔记本电脑), a small keyboard may cause pain in fingers and hands.  Instead, using a larger keyboard can make your typing less tiring and help you keep a better posture. Third, regular breaks are very important. After one or two hours of non-stop computer work, you should stand up and look at things far away to reduce eye stress. And remember to take care of your neck and shoulders.   You can do some simple exercises during breaks, such as turning your head slowly, moving your neck forward, and letting your arms hang. Even a five-minute walk can refresh your body and mind. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By showing a fact. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following is a proper distance between your eyes and the screen? A．15 centimeters. B．25 centimeters. C．40 centimeters. D．65 centimeters. 3．Why is a larger keyboard suitable for laptop users according to Paragraph 3? A．Because it matches the laptop better. B．Because it is more friendly to their eyes. C．Because it allows them to finish work more quickly. D．Because it helps them type easily and keep a better posture. 4．In which part of a magazine can you read the text? A．Health. B．Culture. C．Education. D．Sports. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了长时间使用电脑对健康的潜在危害，并从观看距离、坐姿、定时休息三个方面给出了正确使用电脑、保持健康的建议。 【详解】1．文章开头第一句：“Do you know using computers for a long time may harm your health?”，以提问的方式引出下文对电脑健康使用方法的介绍。 2．文中提到：“Experts suggest that the distance between the eyes and the screen should be around 35 to 60 centimeters.”，即眼睛与屏幕的合适距离为35-60厘米，选项中只有40centimeters在这个范围内。 3．根据第三段：“Instead, using a larger keyboard can make your typing less tiring and help you keep a better posture.”，可知使用更大的键盘能让打字更轻松，也有助于保持更好的坐姿。 4．全文围绕如何正确使用电脑以保护健康展开，属于健康类话题，因此这篇文章最可能出现在杂志的Health板块。 Passage2 （2026·河北省唐山市滦州市·二模） Chores!

This is called active listening, a great way to understand other people’s feelings and build trust. The meaning of active listening Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language, like facial expressions or gestures, to understand how they feel. The Week Junior reader Annie, aged 11, explains what it means to her, “When my friends tell me something important, I listen to what they’re trying to say. I can tell if they’re upset or happy by their voices and faces. This makes me feel like I understand them better.” ________ When you listen to your friends without cutting in or giving your opinion, it shows that you value what they’re saying—even when you don’t agree. This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens friendships. Samaritans is a charity (慈善机构) that supports people by listening to their worries. It says, “Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood.” The ways to be active listeners Listen to your friends carefully, and avoid jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. If you really want to talk, Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead, like nodding your head. Besides, ask questions that need more than a “yes” or “no” as the answer. At the same time, pay attention to their faces and body language. Remember: Active listening takes practice. 1．How does the writer begin the topic? A．By making a list. B．By telling a story. C．By asking a question. D．By showing opinions. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Body language. B．Active listening. C．Paying attention.

A．By expressing your ideas freely. B．By never asking questions or saying anything. C．By jumping in with your own thoughts and feelings. D．By nodding your head when you want to share your opinions. 5．What is the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了积极倾听的含义、重要性以及成为积极倾听者的方法，旨在帮助读者理解积极倾听如何增进人际理解、建立信任并巩固友谊。 1．第一段开头“How does it feel when people listen to you without interrupting or giving their opinion?”是一个设问句，作者通过提出问题的方式引出了“积极倾听”这一话题。 2．第二段中，“Annie, aged 11, explains what it means to her”的前文是对“active listening”的定义，因此这里的 “it” 指代的是前文提到的 “active listening”。 3．第三段指出：“This not only helps avoid mistakes but also strengthens friendships.”以及“Samaritans…says, ‘Listening to people makes them feel valued and understood.’”，说明这一段主要讲积极倾听的好处或原因。 4．最后一段提到 “Samaritans suggests making a listening sign instead, like nodding your head”，说明想要表达观点时，可以用点头等倾听手势代替，因此D选项“当你想分享观点时点头示意”符合文意。 5．第一段总起引出“active listening”；第二段解释其含义；第三段说明其重要性（原因）；第四段介绍具体方法，属于“总—分（含义）—分（原因）—分（方法）”的顺序结构。 Passage 4 （2026·河北省衡水市桃城区·二模） What is a driverless car? It is a self-driving car. In the near future, driverless cars may be everywhere on the road. Zoox, an American company, has been developing its own driverless cars for years. The Zoox robotaxi looks like a cute little bus with four wheels. Inside is a large, open space with four comfortable seats. However, rather than all facing forward, passengers sit on two benches (长凳), facing each other. The car can go either forward or backward as needed. The car can only carry four Zoox’s workers on a 1.6-kilometer-long public road between two office buildings of the company in Foster City, California. Though the Zoox robotaxi runs on electricity, it can go at a speed of 120 kilometers an hour. But it can only go at a speed of about 56 kilometers an hour in the test because of the speed limit (限速). Driverless cars are a hot topic. Companies worldwide are actively developing driverless cars, often adding self-driving systems to traditional car designs. But Zoox prefers the idea of designing a car specifically intended for (设计为……所用) full automation. For that reason, the Zoox robotaxi doesn’t have some of the things you might expect to find in a car. In fact, it doesn’t even have a steering wheel (方向盘) or a seat for the driver! Zoox hopes to put their invention to use in the future. With their driverless cars, they believe future roads will be safer, cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone. 1．What is Zoox according to the text? A．A car. B．A company. C．A robot.

It looks like plastic but is much better for our planet. Plastic pollution is a big problem around the world. Every year, 19 to 23 million tons of plastic waste end up in lakes, rivers and seas, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. This harms the health of wild animals as well as humans. Scientists have been trying to solve this problem for years. To solve this problem, scientists have tried to find other materials to take the place of plastic. However, most of these materials do not work well in daily life after getting wet. The Spanish study offers new hope. Scientists made the material from chitosan (壳聚糖). It is found widely in nature, such as mushrooms and seashells. Interestingly, the material becomes stronger when it gets wet—up to 50% stronger. This is because the scientists added a bit of nickel (镍), which allows water to become part of the material’s structure (结构). The new material can also return to Earth without causing pollution, according to Biotech Spain. Unlike traditional plastics, it fully breaks down in nature. What’s more, the scientists used a zero-waste process. All the nickel that was not needed can be reused to make more of the material. So next time you go shopping, which bag will you choose, plastic or the new material? You know the answer! 1．Why does the writer write paragraph 2? A．To explain why plastic is useful. B．To describe where plastic waste goes. C．To show plastic pollution is a big problem. D．To tell wild animals are in great danger. 2．Why can’t most new materials replace plastic? A．They are too expensive to make. B．They don’t work well when wet. C．They are harmful to wild animals. D．They are hard to find in nature. 3．What makes the new material stronger after getting wet? A．Plastic. B．Chitosan. C．Water D．Nickel. 4．Where is the text most probably from? A．A diary. B．A newspaper. C．A guidebook. D．A storybook. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西班牙科学家研发的一种新型环保材料，它由壳聚糖制成，遇水反而更坚固、可自然降解，有望解决塑料污染问题。 【详解】1．第二段开头点明“Plastic pollution is a big problem around the world.”，并通过联合国的数据说明塑料污染的规模与危害，目的是引出研发替代材料的背景，展示塑料污染是一个严重的全球性问题，对应选项C。 2．根据原文第三段“However, most of these materials do not work well in daily life after getting wet.”可知，大多数替代材料无法取代塑料的原因是遇水后性能不佳，对应选项B。 3．根据原文第四段“This is because the scientists added a bit of nickel (镍), which allows water to become part of the material’s structure (结构).”可知，正是因为添加了镍，这种新材料遇水后强度反而能提升，对应选项D。 4．本文是一篇关于新型环保材料的科技新闻报道，介绍了科学研究成果及其环保意义，这类文章最可能出现在报纸上，对应选项B。 Passage2 （2026·河北省衡水市桃城区·二模） My name is Danny and I live in a small town. There is a river in the south of our town. It used to be a fun place for people nearby. They could walk and do exercise along the river bank. The water was clear and there were fish swimming happily. But over the past 3 years, things had changed. Factories were built nearby, and the waste from the factories was poured into the river randomly (随意地). The water turned dark and smelled terrible. No people went near the river any more. Last spring, our science teacher, Mr. Chen, started a project called “Bring Our River Back”. At first, I thought it was just another school task. But Mr. Chen said, “ ▲ ” We began by collecting rubbish on the river by boat every weekend. It was tiring work, but we didn’t give up. Besides collecting rubbish, we put up posters in the nearby communities to call on more people to join us. We explained how harmful pollution is. We also wrote letters to the local newspapers. And it helped our project most, because it really worked. Then something amazing happened. One day, we noticed a few birds returning to the river. The next week, we even saw frogs! These small signs gave us hope. Months later, the river didn’t become perfect, but it was getting better. I finally understood what Mr. Chen meant. Saving the earth isn’t about doing everything at once; it’s about everyone doing something. 1．Why didn’t people go near the river? A．Because there was no fish in the river any more. B．Because of the noise from the factories. C．Because of the smoke from the factories. D．Because the water in the river was polluted. 2．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ? A．You can’t judge a book by its cover. B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C．It’s never too old to learn. D．Real change starts with small actions. 3．What did Danny think was the most helpful to their project? A．Calling on more people to join in the project. B．The returning of the birds and frogs. C．Writing letters to the local newspapers. D．Putting up posters in the nearby communities. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 【导语】讲述了Danny居住的小镇原本宜人的河流被工厂废料污染后，科学老师发起“让河流重归”治理项目，最终让河流环境慢慢好转的故事。 【详解】1．根据第一段“...the waste from the factories was poured into the river randomly. The water turned dark and smelled terrible. No people went near the river any more.”可知，工厂废水倒入河流导致水变黑且气味难闻（即水被污染），所以人们不再靠近河边。 2．根据第二段后文提到的具体行动“collecting rubbish on the river by boat every weekend”以及最后一段的总结“Saving the earth isn’t about doing everything at once; it’s about everyone doing something.”可知，陈老师想表达的是改变始于微小的行动。选项 D“Real change starts with small actions.”符合语境。 3．根据第三段“We also wrote letters to the local newspapers. And it helped our project most, because it really worked.”可知，Danny认为给当地报纸写信对项目帮助最大。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与自然 Passage 1 （2026·河北省唐山交大实验学校·二模） Hairy Eggshells While eggs are a favorite food all around the world, the eggshells are usually thrown away. But you can turn them into seed (种子) pots. You need: eggs, markers, some grass seeds, an egg box and a sponge (海绵) cut into small pieces. Then follow these simple steps: Step 1 Carefully break each egg into two parts. Try to make one part a lot bigger than the other. Throw away the smaller part. Save the insides, and use them later for cooking. Step 2 Clean the eggshells. Let them dry. Step 3 Draw faces on the outsides of the dry eggshells. Step 4 Wet each sponge piece. Place a sponge inside each eggshell. Step 5 Spread some seeds on top of the sponges. Step 6 Use the egg box to hold the eggshells. Step 7 Water the eggshells every day. The seeds will sprout (发芽) in about one week, and the eggshell faces will have green hair! 1．How many things do you need to make hairy eggshells? A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five. 2．Which of the following can be a seed pot after Step 1? A． B． C． D． 3．Where is this text probably from? A．A geography paper. B．A cooking book. C．A gardening magazine. D．A health report. Passage 2 （2026·河北省唐山市迁安市·二模） Are you a fan of seafood? How do you deal with the seashells (贝壳) after eating? Well, most people throw them away. Tons of seashells end up as waste. But Dr. Rosa Isela from Mexico and her team have turned the waste seashells into a white thing called chitosan (壳聚糖). It is different from plastic—it breaks down easily in the environment. It is safer and can be used in many ways. Chitosan helps keep fish healthy. Sometimes, harmful bacteria (细菌) grow in the water and make the baby fish sick. Chitosan has a positive charge (电荷). Bacteria have a negative charge. When chitosan touches bacteria, it sticks to them quickly. This kills the bacteria or stops them from growing. Chitosan can also help keep fruit fresh. Farmers use it to make a special cover on fruit. First, it kills bacteria to stop the fruit from going bad. Second, it locks water inside to keep the fruit from getting dry. Third, it slows down the fruit’s breathing, so fruit saves energy and stays fresh longer. Chitosan can have a real difference especially for cities on the coast. People there, both locals and visitors, eat a lot of seafood, so tons of shells are thrown away every day. Now those shells can be used to make chitosan. In this way, waste becomes something useful. This is a good example of how science can turn waste into value. Chitosan helps people and brings us hope for a greener future. 1．What is chitosan made from? A．Seashells. B．Clean water. C．Fresh fruit. D．Plastic waste. 2．How does chitosan help fish? A．By serving as food for fish. B．By sticking to the bacteria. C．By cleaning the fish’s body. D．By giving fish more energy. 3．Which is NOT a way chitosan keeps fruit fresh? A．Killing bacteria. B．Locking water inside. C．Making fruit taste sweeter. D．Slowing down the fruit’s breathing. 4．In which part of a magazine can we probably read the text? A．Health & Medicine. B．Food & Culture. C．Travel & Geography. D．Science & Environment.

Passage 4 （2026·河北省唐山市丰南市小集镇辉坨中学等校·二模） Plastic is one of the most widely used materials in our daily life. We use plastic bags, plastic bottles, plastic boxes and many other plastic products every day. However, the overuse of plastic brings serious environmental problems, which has become a big challenge for our planet. Most plastic products are hard to break down. They can stay in the environment for hundreds of years, polluting the land, rivers and oceans. For example, plastic bags often end up in rivers and seas, hurting marine animals like fish and turtles. Some plastic waste is burned, which produces harmful gases and pollutes the air. Besides, making plastic needs a lot of energy and resources, which is not good for sustainable development. To solve the plastic pollution problem, we can take some simple actions in our daily life. We can use reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags when shopping. We can choose glass or metal bottles instead of plastic ones. We should also throw plastic waste into the right dustbins so that it can be recycled properly. Many countries have also made rules to limit the use of single-use plastics, such as plastic straws and plastic forks. It’s everyone’s responsibility to reduce plastic use and protect our environment. By changing our small habits, we can cut down plastic pollution and make our planet cleaner and greener. 1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Plastic is widely used in daily life. B．The overuse of plastic causes environmental problems and how to solve them. C．How to recycle plastic waste easily. D．Why plastic products are hard to break down. 2．What environmental problem does burned plastic waste cause? A．It pollutes the air. B．It hurts land animals. C．It dries up rivers and seas.

Pingju Opera is one of China’s most popular local operas, and its birthplace is Tangshan, a beautiful city in Hebei Province. It has a history of over 100 years, starting as a simple folk art form loved by farmers and workers in the late Qing Dynasty. Pingju Opera is different from other operas in China. Its words are easy to understand, not like some fancy (典雅的) operas with difficult words. The stories are mostly about common people’s lives—their joy, sadness and small but warm moments, such as a mother’s love for her child. Performers wear bright, colorful costumes and use lively gestures (手势) to tell the stories. When they sing, their voices are clear and sweet, making every word easy to catch. Even if you don’t know much about traditional opera, you can quickly fall in love with it. There are many classic Pingju plays. Liu Qia’er and Flower as a Go-Between (《花为媒》) are two of the most famous ones. They tell moving stories that have been passed down for many years and are still loved by people of all ages. Today, Pingju Opera is still very popular in northern China. Many young people are also learning to sing it, hoping to keep this wonderful art alive. Some schools even add Pingju classes to let students learn this traditional culture. Teenagers in these classes not only practice singing and acting skills after school, but also put on small shows for their classmates and parents, sharing the beauty of Pingju with more people. Some young performers even mix Pingju with modern music styles, making this old art form shine. If you visit Tangshan, don’t miss a chance to watch a Pingju show.

Passage4 （2026·河北省张家口市·二模） Screens can be fun, but try to use them wisely. Spending too much time on screens might make you miss other fun things in life. Why are screens so hard to put down? Screens are made to catch your attention. Companies use bright colors, sounds, and rewards (奖励) to make their apps hard to put down. These things make you feel good, so you want to keep using them. It helps to understand how apps are designed. Then you can decide how much time to spend on screens. Not all screen time is bad. Watching a movie with your family is good. Using a screen for homework is also useful. But short videos can be a problem. They catch your eye, take up a lot of your time, and give you little back. If you don’t have a smartphone yet, consider starting with a simple phone. It is good for talking with friends, and it will not take over your life. If you already have a smartphone, learn to control how you use it. You can set a timer when you use your smartphone, so it reminds you to stop and take a break. When you study, put your smartphone somewhere out of sight (视野). Besides, make plans to do other things, like visiting friends. That way, you have a reason to stop and have something fun to do. 1．What do companies use to make their apps hard to put down? A．Funny videos and games. B．Simple designs and timers.

Passage 5 （2026·河北省唐山市路南区·二模） What makes a great team? Different people may have different answers, but there are some common secrets. First, good communication is the bridge of a great team. Team members need to talk openly and listen to each other carefully. When someone has a problem, others should offer help instead of criticizing. For example, in our class basketball team, we have a rule: before each game, we have a 10-minute meeting to discuss strategies. This helps us work better together. Second, a shared goal is the direction of a great team. All members should work towards the same goal. If everyone has different ideas, the team can't move forward. Once, our science team decided to build a small robot. At first, some members wanted to focus on appearance, while others cared more about function. We had a long discussion and finally agreed on a shared goal—to make a useful and attractive robot. Third, respect is the foundation of a great team. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We should respect each other's differences. For example, in our group project, Tom is good at designing, and I am good at writing reports. We respect each other's skills and work together smoothly. In fact, a great team is not about having the best members, but about working together in the right way. When team members communicate well, share the same goal and respect each other, they can overcome any difficulty. 1．What is the bridge of a great team according to the passage? A．Good communication. B．A shared goal. C．Respect. D．Leadership. 2．Why does the basketball team have a meeting before each game? A．To criticize team members. B．To discuss strategies. C．To show their skills.

C．They finished the robot very quickly. D．They gave up building the robot. 4．What does the writer think is the most important for a great team? A．Having the best members. B．Working together in the right way. C．Knowing each other well. D．Making strict rules. 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The secrets of a great team. B．The importance of communication. C．How to build a robot with a team. D．The role of leadership in a team. 主题03 人与自我 Passage1 （2026·河北省唐山市路南区·二模） You may have seen a blind person on the bus with a dog. This dog is most likely a service animal. A service animal is an animal that is trained to do things for people who cannot do them alone because of a disability. Dogs are most often used as service animals because they are smart animals. They also have a good sense of smell and can sense dangerous situations. In addition, dogs are easy to train and are loyal (忠诚的) to their owners. When in danger, dogs will do anything to keep their owners safe. Service dogs are sometimes called guide dogs or hearing dogs. These dogs can help people who cannot see or hear. They are trained to open and close a door, push a button (按键), and follow an order. If their owner needs medical attention, the dogs are trained to bark (吠叫) and get help. Dogs can also be used as therapy dogs. They may visit a school or hospital to help people who are feeling lonely or worried. Therapy dogs can provide kindness and love to improve a person’s spirits, which can then improve that person’s health. Although dogs are the most common service animals, there are other animals that can be trained to be service animals as well. You might see a cat, a rabbit or a horse that is used as a service animal. These animals can keep a person company and become good friends. 1．What do “therapy dogs” do? A．They keep people safe. B．They make people feel happier. C．They are trained to bark and get help. D．They can help with all the health problems. 2．Which of the following will the writer probably agree with?

D．Other animals cannot be used as service animals because they are not smart. 3．What is the best title for this passage? A．How to train dogs B．Animals that people can keep C．How to improve health D．Service animals that help people 主题01 人与自我 Passage 1 （2026·河北省邯郸市第二十五中学·二模） Have you ever heard of the saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”? It includes real wisdom (智慧) about how to live well through “patience”. Developing patience helps us stay calm, make wiser choices and achieve our goals more easily. The good news is that patience is a skill we can all learn and improve with simple daily habits. One good way to build patience is to stop for a while. When feeling angry, try taking three deep breaths or counting to ten slowly. This short break gives your mind time to become calm and choose a better answer. For example, if a classmate says something bad, waiting for a few seconds before answering often leads to a wiser talk instead of an argument. Another effective (有效的) way is to break big tasks into smaller, easy parts. When facing a difficult task or a long project, focus on doing just one part at a time. For example, finishing reading a thick book will become easier if you aim to finish one chapter (章) per day. Similarly, …This way, they reach their goals step by step. We can also practice patience by getting used to waiting. Next time you are in line or waiting for a friend, don’t check your phone right away. Instead, notice what is happening around you or just relax. These small moments help your mind accept delays (延迟) without being bored. Practicing these simple methods often can help us develop patience and make life more peaceful. However, in today’s fast-paced world, developing patience faces new challenges. Although modern technology, like smartphones and AI, is easy to use, it has drawbacks. For example, using AI translation tools may stop us from learning a new language well. It makes us want immediate results, and that is bad for building patience. As our world keeps getting faster, learning to be patient may be more important than ever. So, let’s start developing our patience from now on. 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By telling a story. B．By showing a saying. C．By sending a message. D．By listing numbers. 2．In the writer’s eyes, what should you do first when someone makes you angry? A．Argue with him. B．Say sorry to him. C．Take three deep breaths. D．Leave quickly. 3．Which example can be put in the sentence “Similarly, …”? A．runners finish their whole month’s training in one week. B．marathon (马拉松) runners focus on one mile at a time. C．students try to remember 100 new English words in a day. D．students finish all summer vacation homework in the last two days. 4．Which is close to the underlined word “drawbacks”? A．Advantages.

A．Causes of Losing Patience B．Ways of Building Patience C．Methods of Waiting in Line D．Advantages of Modern Technology Passage 2 （2026·河北省唐山市古治区·二模） ① Hello! Welcome to my blog. This is my first post, and I’m excited to have you here. ② My name is Alena Jiang, and I come from China. I’ve been studying in America for five years. Now I am a student at New York University (NYU). I’ve made a lot of great friends here. Living away from my parents has taught me to be independent and to understand the world in my own way. ③ Since I started studying abroad, many of my friends in China have asked me, “What’s life like in the US?

Computers have become a necessary tool in our daily life, making work and study easier. But how can we use them properly to stay fit? First, we need to pay attention to the viewing distance. When the screen is too close to our eyes, it may cause eye stress and tiredness. Experts suggest that the distance between the eyes and the screen should be around 35 to 60 centimeters. If you feel your eyes becoming dry or painful, it’s a sign that you need a short rest. Second, sitting posture (坐姿) matters a lot. A footrest (脚凳) can be helpful if your feet cannot rest directly on the floor. For those who use laptops (笔记本电脑), a small keyboard may cause pain in fingers and hands.  Instead, using a larger keyboard can make your typing less tiring and help you keep a better posture. Third, regular breaks are very important. After one or two hours of non-stop computer work, you should stand up and look at things far away to reduce eye stress. And remember to take care of your neck and shoulders.   You can do some simple exercises during breaks, such as turning your head slowly, moving your neck forward, and letting your arms hang. Even a five-minute walk can refresh your body and mind. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By showing a fact. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following is a proper distance between your eyes and the screen? A．15 centimeters. B．25 centimeters. C．40 centimeters. D．65 centimeters. 3．Why is a larger keyboard suitable for laptop users according to Paragraph 3? A．Because it matches the laptop better. B．Because it is more friendly to their eyes. C．Because it allows them to finish work more quickly. D．Because it helps them type easily and keep a better posture. 4．In which part of a magazine can you read the text? A．Health. B．Culture. C．Education. D．Sports. Passage2 （2026·河北省唐山市滦州市·二模） Chores! Oh no, chores! Is that how you feel? You are not alone. Many children do not like chores. But there are good reasons for chores.

This is called active listening, a great way to understand other people’s feelings and build trust. The meaning of active listening Active listening means listening to people carefully. It also means watching their body language, like facial expressions or gestures, to understand how they feel.

In the near future, driverless cars may be everywhere on the road. Zoox, an American company, has been developing its own driverless cars for years. The Zoox robotaxi looks like a cute little bus with four wheels. Inside is a large, open space with four comfortable seats. However, rather than all facing forward, passengers sit on two benches (长凳), facing each other. The car can go either forward or backward as needed. The car can only carry four Zoox’s workers on a 1.6-kilometer-long public road between two office buildings of the company in Foster City, California. Though the Zoox robotaxi runs on electricity, it can go at a speed of 120 kilometers an hour. But it can only go at a speed of about 56 kilometers an hour in the test because of the speed limit (限速). Driverless cars are a hot topic. Companies worldwide are actively developing driverless cars, often adding self-driving systems to traditional car designs. But Zoox prefers the idea of designing a car specifically intended for (设计为……所用) full automation. For that reason, the Zoox robotaxi doesn’t have some of the things you might expect to find in a car. In fact, it doesn’t even have a steering wheel (方向盘) or a seat for the driver! Zoox hopes to put their invention to use in the future. With their driverless cars, they believe future roads will be safer, cleaner and more enjoyable for everyone. 1．What is Zoox according to the text? A．A car. B．A company. C．A robot.

It looks like plastic but is much better for our planet. Plastic pollution is a big problem around the world. Every year, 19 to 23 million tons of plastic waste end up in lakes, rivers and seas, according to the United Nations Environment Programme. This harms the health of wild animals as well as humans. Scientists have been trying to solve this problem for years. To solve this problem, scientists have tried to find other materials to take the place of plastic. However, most of these materials do not work well in daily life after getting wet. The Spanish study offers new hope. Scientists made the material from chitosan (壳聚糖). It is found widely in nature, such as mushrooms and seashells. Interestingly, the material becomes stronger when it gets wet—up to 50% stronger. This is because the scientists added a bit of nickel (镍), which allows water to become part of the material’s structure (结构). The new material can also return to Earth without causing pollution, according to Biotech Spain. Unlike traditional plastics, it fully breaks down in nature. What’s more, the scientists used a zero-waste process. All the nickel that was not needed can be reused to make more of the material. So next time you go shopping, which bag will you choose, plastic or the new material? You know the answer! 1．Why does the writer write paragraph 2? A．To explain why plastic is useful. B．To describe where plastic waste goes. C．To show plastic pollution is a big problem. D．To tell wild animals are in great danger. 2．Why can’t most new materials replace plastic? A．They are too expensive to make. B．They don’t work well when wet. C．They are harmful to wild animals. D．They are hard to find in nature. 3．What makes the new material stronger after getting wet? A．Plastic. B．Chitosan. C．Water D．Nickel. 4．Where is the text most probably from? A．A diary. B．A newspaper. C．A guidebook. D．A storybook. Passage2 （2026·河北省衡水市桃城区·二模） My name is Danny and I live in a small town. There is a river in the south of our town. It used to be a fun place for people nearby.

Factories were built nearby, and the waste from the factories was poured into the river randomly (随意地). The water turned dark and smelled terrible. No people went near the river any more. Last spring, our science teacher, Mr. Chen, started a project called “Bring Our River Back”. At first, I thought it was just another school task. But Mr. Chen said, “ ▲ ” We began by collecting rubbish on the river by boat every weekend. It was tiring work, but we didn’t give up. Besides collecting rubbish, we put up posters in the nearby communities to call on more people to join us. We explained how harmful pollution is. We also wrote letters to the local newspapers. And it helped our project most, because it really worked. Then something amazing happened. One day, we noticed a few birds returning to the river. The next week, we even saw frogs! These small signs gave us hope. Months later, the river didn’t become perfect, but it was getting better. I finally understood what Mr. Chen meant. Saving the earth isn’t about doing everything at once; it’s about everyone doing something. 1．Why didn’t people go near the river? A．Because there was no fish in the river any more.
