In 1961, when Yu was given the task of researching on the hydrogen bomb, he accepted it without thinking. For the next 28 years, he kept his work a secret and stayed hidden from the public. Even his wife didn’t know his job. To develop China’s own hydrogen bomb quickly, Yu worked day and night. He guided his team to create a complete design after three months of calculations (计算). After working in hard environment for a long time, his body became weak. But he never gave up. On October 16,1964, China’s first atomic bomb exploded (原子弹爆炸) successfully. Later, on June 17,1967,China’s first hydrogen bomb exploded, making China the fastest country to go from atomic to hydrogen bombs, much quicker than the USA (7 years), France (8.5 years) or the UK (4.5 years). Yu came back to public view in 1999, receiving the “Two Bombs, One Satellite Merit Award” for his work, together with some other scientists such as Sun Jiadong, Qian Sanqiang, Qian Xuesen and Deng Jiaxian and so on.

The opening ceremony (开幕式) was held on the 6th of the same month in Italy. During the competition, Eileen Gu, the former Olympic freestyle skiing champion, once again showed fantastic flips (空翻) and spins (旋转) in the air. Finally, she got one gold medal and two silver medals in total. ② However, winning isn’t her only goal this time. She also wants to send an important message to young people, especially (尤其是) girls, around the world. “Don’t be afraid to try,” she says. “A lot of the time, the thing that holds you back most is that little voice in your head: What if I’m not good enough? What if I embarrass myself? What if someone laughs at me? All those scary thoughts make you afraid to move your steps forward. But I promise you, you will never look back and regret that you tried your hardest and did your best.” ③ Gu started skiing at the age of three and joined her first team four years later. For many years, she was the only girl on her team. She says that some people doubt female athletes and their ability in sports. This has stopped many teenage girls from playing sports. But Gu disagrees. She believes that girls can do well in every sport as long as they put their whole heart into it. As a role model, she hopes her story will help girls stay confident and be brave enough to try. ④ Gu tells us that courage grows when we meet our fear, so don’t let fear snowball. Face it bravely. Even if something seems scary at first, give it a try! That’s how we become excellent step by step. 1．How long did the 2026 Winter Olympics last? A．About two months. B．More than two weeks. C．Over twenty days. D．Nearly a year. 2．What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A．The experiences of Eileen Gu’s training in skiing. B．Eileen Gu’s advice to young people around the world. C．Eileen Gu’s training methods for the Olympics this year. D．The reasons why some people are afraid to try new things. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the third paragraph? A．At the age of three, Eileen Gu joined her first team. B．Eileen Gu hopes that all the girls can do well in every sport. C．There were no other girls on Eileen Gu’s team for many years. D．Many teenage girls stopped playing sports because of their abilities. 4．The underlined word “embarrass” most likely means ______. A．to encourage someone B．to forget something easily C．to say something proudly D．to make someone feel shy or uncomfortable 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．The 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy B．How to Become an Olympic Champion C．The History of Eileen Gu’s Skiing Skills D．Learn from Gu: Face the Fear Bravely 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍谷爱凌在2026冬奥会夺得1金2银，她鼓励年轻人直面恐惧、勇敢尝试，尤其希望激励女孩参与运动。 【详解】433．第一段提到“The 2026 Winter Olympics came to an end on February 22nd this year. The opening ceremony was held on the 6th of the same month.” 2月6日开幕，2月22日闭幕。计算天数：22-6+1=17天。17天相当于 **超过两周（14天），但不足20天（C选项“Over twenty days”错误），更不是两个月或近一年。故B正确。 1．第二段首句“However, winning isn’t her only goal this time. She also wants to send an important message to young people”点明本段核心。随后引用谷爱凌的话“Don’t be afraid to try”以及她鼓励人们不要被内心恐惧阻碍，这些都是她对全球年轻人的建议。A“训练经历”、C“训练方法”、D“人们害怕尝试的原因”均不是本段主旨。 2．第三段明确写道：“For many years, she was the only girl on her team.”（多年以来，她是队里唯一的女孩。），C项与此完全一致。 3．第二段谷爱凌说“What if I embarrass myself?”，结合上下文“What if I’m not good enough? What if someone laughs at me?”（万一我不够好怎么办？万一有人嘲笑我怎么办？）可知，“embarrass myself”是指“让自己难堪/尴尬”，即感到害羞或不舒服。A“鼓励某人”、B“轻易忘记某事”、C“骄傲地说某事”均不符合语境。 4．全文核心不仅是报道谷爱凌的奖牌成绩（排除A、C），也不仅是教人如何成为奥运冠军（排除B）。文章重点在于：谷爱凌鼓励年轻人克服恐惧、勇敢尝试，尤其在最后一段点明“courage grows when we meet our fear... Face it bravely.” D项“向谷学习：勇敢面对恐惧”准确概括了主旨。 Passage 4 Yao MingBorn in 1980 Birthplace: Shanghai, China Career: Basketball player Yao Ming is one of China’s most famous basketball stars.

He helped China build its first nuclear submarine. This was a big step for China’s technology and safety. He is called the “father of China’s nuclear submarines”. Huang was born in Guangdong Province in 1926. During his childhood, China had a tough time because of the war and he saw how weak China was. This made him decide to study very hard. He was eager to use his knowledge to make the country stronger. He studied shipbuilding at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1945. Huang began working on the top-secret “Project 09” in 1958 to develop China’s first nuclear submarine. He didn’t tell anyone about it, not even his family. He was away from his hometown until 1987. It was a very difficult job. He and his team faced many problems. However, they were not afraid. They worked tirelessly to solve them. In 1970, Huang and his team launched China’s first nuclear submarine and it ran better than the first US nuclear submarine. However, Huang didn’t stop. He kept working on improving submarine-making technology. Because of his hard work, he won many honors. In 2019, he got the “Medal of the Republic”. Even in his old age, Huang still cared about the development of China’s submarines. He also played a key role in training young submarine engineers. He gave away more than 20 million yuan to support science education programs and schools. Huang devoted himself to his country, and his great work helped China become stronger.

I’m Li Bing, an ancient engineer from Qin State. Let me tell you about Dujiangyan—the world’s oldest working water system. We built it over 2,200 years ago! What was our problem? Long ago, people in Sichuan faced a big problem. In rainy seasons, the Min River often flooded their farms. But in dry seasons, there was no water for crops. How did we solve it? Instead of building dam walls to block the water, we let the water run its own way. First, my team had to cut through Mount Yulei to make the Baopingkou (宝瓶口). It led part of the Min River to run east. Without any machines, we could only use fire and freezing water to break the rocks open. This took us eight years. Then we built the Yuzui (鱼嘴) to divide the river into two parts. One part carried water to farms, while the other stopped floods. The next problem was the sand and stones in the Min River. We built Feishayan (飞沙堰) to wash them away with water power and keep the system clean. Why can it last so long? It is our smart design. We made the deeper Inner River and the lower Feishayan, so the system could control the water during the flood and dry seasons. And for over 1,000 years, workers clean and take care of it every year. What does it bring? This is our greatest contribution: A river system grew. It not only made the land around Chengdu rich, but also waters over 7,700 square kilometers of farmland, and feeds 30 million people in 8 cities today. Besides, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To remember my son and me, locals celebrated with a traditional festival every spring. Also, Erwang Temple was built to honour us. What is the key to building it? Actually, we just listened to the water and followed its nature. 1．What does the underlined word “block” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Guide or lead. B．Collect or store. C．Stop from moving. D．Speed up. 2．How did Li Bing’s team build the system? A．They cut through Baopingkou to divide the river. B．They used rocks, fire and cold water to make Mount Yulei. C．They built Yuzui to take in the sand and stones. D．They built Feishayan to clean the system with water power. 3．What is the main result of building Dujiangyan? A．It created a famous temple and a yearly festival. B．It watered farms and fed millions of people. C．It made the builders world famous. D．It turned the area into a tourist attraction. 4．What can we learn from the water system? A．True engineering doesn’t need modern machines. B．Water is very important to human life. C．Working with nature leads to success. D．Chinese culture has spread to the world. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国古代水利工程都江堰的建造背景、方法、成效及其核心理念。 【详解】92．词义猜测题。根据文章“Instead of building dam walls to block the water”可知，堤坝的作用是阻止水流，“block”与选项C“阻止移动”意思一致。故选C。 1．细节理解题。根据文章“We built Feishayan (飞沙堰) to wash them away with water power and keep the system clean.”可知，他们修建飞沙堰是为了借助水力冲走泥沙，以保持水利系统的通畅，选项D符合文意。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章“It not only made the land around Chengdu rich, but also waters over 7,700 square kilometers of farmland, and feeds 30 million people in 8 cities today.”可知，主要成果是灌溉农田和养育人口。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据文章“What is the key to building it? Actually, we just listened to the water and followed its nature.”可知，建造都江堰的关键是遵循水流的本性，由此可知顺势而为，方能成事。故选C。 Passage 6 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市辽中区·期末） The Qinghai-Xizang Railway connects Xining and Lhasa, the capital cities of Qinghai and Xizang. It ended Xizang’s no-railway history and set a new record for the world’s highest railway. The railway itself is a world wonder. Work began in 1958, and it took over 50 years to complete. Although it was a difficult task, Chinese engineers and workers did their best to overcome the challenges. The biggest challenge was permafrost (永冻层)—a type of frozen ground that remains at or below 0℃ for at least two years. Most of the railway is built on it. The ground can break easily if it gets too warm. Though the engineers were not familiar (熟悉) with this problem, they invented ways to solve it. They built walls to block the sunlight. This could keep the ground colder and stronger. In some places, the railway is built above ground, like long bridges. Another challenge was to protect the plants, rivers and animals along the line. The Qinghai-Xizang Railway passes through Kekexili and Qiangtang, places with many wild animals. The engineers built 25 special passages (通道) just for animals. Now the animals can cross the railway safely. Also, the air in the high mountains is thin, and the oxygen (O2) level is low. Passengers may feel sick. Engineers designed trains that can give passengers more oxygen. Although there were epic (史诗般的) challenges, Chinese engineers made history. Today, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway travels for 1,956 km across green rivers, along snowy mountains, by blue lakes, and through amazing deserts. It is an epic road. 1．How long did it take to complete the Qinghai-Xizang Railway? A．About 40 years. B．Over 50 years. C．Less than 50 years. D．Exactly 50 years. 2．What does the underlined word “block” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Stop. B．Improve. C．Produce. D．Connect. 3．Why did engineers build 25 special passages along the railway? A．To help passengers see wild animals. B．To protect the animals and let them cross the railway safely. C．To make the railway more beautiful. D．To allow workers to rest. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．The railway is 1,596 km long. B．There are no deserts along the Qinghai-Xizang Railway. C．The trains on this railway can provide more oxygen for passengers. D．The engineers knew permafrost well at first. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了青藏铁路，讲述其建设耗时超50年，建设中面临永冻层、保护沿线动植物、高原缺氧等挑战，中国工程师克服困难，如今铁路穿越多样地貌，成为史诗般的道路 。 1．细节理解题。根据“Work began in 1958, and it took over 50 years to complete.”可知，建设青藏铁路耗时超50年，故选B。 2．词句猜测题。前文“The ground can break easily if it gets too warm.”说永冻层遇热易破损，工程师建墙“block the sunlight”来让地面更冷更坚固“keep the ground colder and stronger”，所以“block”在这里意思是“阻挡；阻止”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“The engineers built 25 special passages (通道) just for animals. Now the animals can cross the railway safely.”可知，建25条特殊通道是为保护动物，让它们安全穿越铁路，故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Engineers designed trains that can give passengers more oxygen.”可知，铁路上的火车能给乘客提供更多氧气，故选C。 话题3 人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25七下·广东省广州市南沙区·期末） Scientists found plants could “talk”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (录音) some plants in different places. Their recordings showed that the plants made some sounds. After the scientists changed their recordings, people could hear plants clicking (咔嗒) clearly. They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more. When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having. Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other? Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. If some animals are eating the plants, the plants will send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants. The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.” 1．What does the underlined word “hardly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．sometimes B．Always C．Often D．almost never 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Plants clicked more when the soil was too dry. B．Plants made no sound when scientists cut them off. C．Plants made sound to talk when animals were eating them. D．People couldn’t hear plants’ sounds because they were too quiet. 3．What will Hadany and her team study next? A．How do the plants make the clicking sounds? B．Do plants make sounds to talk with other plants? C．Will plants or animals answer plants’ clicking sounds? D．What can they do to change people’s ideas about plants? 4．Which one can be the title for the article? A．Plants can “talk”. B．Plants on Earth C．Beautiful music D．The sound of nature 5．We can read this passage from a _________. A．fairy story B．science magazine C．news report D．travel guide 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家发现植物在缺水或受损时会发出咔嗒声，并推测这种声音可能用于交流。研究还提出未来探索方向，颠覆了人们对植物“沉默”的传统认知。 1．词句猜测题。根据“They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more.”可知，此处是指植物有充足的水分时候，它们几乎不会发出咔嗒声。因此hardly与almost never“几乎从来不会”意思相近。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more.”可知，随着土壤变得越来越干燥，它们发出咔嗒声越来越多。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants.”可知，下一步研究问题是“是否有植物或动物回应植物的咔嗒声”，故选C。 4．最佳标题题。本文主要介绍了科学家发现植物在缺水或受损时会发出咔嗒声，并推测这种声音可能用于交流。研究还提出未来探索方向，颠覆了人们对植物“沉默”的传统认知。故选A。 5．推理判断题。本文主要是与研究植物的一些特征有关。因此可能会在科学杂志上读到此文章。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市铁西区·期末） ①Beavers (海狸) , known as “nature’s engineers”, play a surprising role in protecting the environment. Scientists found that beavers do good things for the world around us. According to a new study, beavers do helps stop flooding (洪水) and pollution and can increase populations of fish and other wildlife. ②Scientists from the University Exeter watched wild beavers living on the River Otter in Devon for five years. Beavers build dams (大坝) across rivers with sticks and mud (泥土). These dams create ponds. These ponds become homes for other animals. The ponds work like natural cleaners. When rain washes soil and chemicals from farms into rivers, the dams stop up to 70% of this dirty stuff (东西). The scientists found 37% more fish living in the ponds made by beavers than in other parts of the river. Cleaner water helps all living things stay healthy! ③During storms, the dams slow floodwater by 50%. This protects nearby villages and farms. The slowed water also spreads into new wetlands, creating homes for birds, frogs, and insects. Sometimes the dams cause small floods on farmland. But people can make small changes to the dams, like adding pipes. This way, both people and animals are happy. ④Beavers were hunted until they died out in England 500 years ago. Surprisingly, they appeared on the River Otter in 2008 again. At first, the government wanted to hunt them, but the green protectors showed how important they are. Today, these hardworking animals are telling us how nature's ways make our environment better! ⑤Beavers clean pollution and help fight floods. They teach us that protecting wild animals isn't only good for them—it helps people too. Their story reminds us to work with nature, not against it. 1．How do beavers build dams? A．By using stones and wood. B．By using sticks and mud. C．By digging holes in the ground. D．By planting trees near rivers. 2．What do we learn from Paragraph 4? A．The government killed beavers. B．Beavers disappeared but returned. C．Humans and beavers can live together peacefully. D．Beavers cause some trouble but help a lot. 3．What does the writer think of protecting beavers? A．It is a waste of time and money. B．It should be done only in certain areas. C．It is unnecessary because they cause floods. D．It is important because they help both nature and people. 4．How is the text organized? A．By comparing beavers to other animals. B．By telling a story from beginning to end. C．By presenting a problem and then a solution. D．By beginning with a simple introduction, then give details. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了被称为“自然工程师”的海狸在保护环境方面的作用，包括建造水坝带来的净化水质、增加野生动物数量、减缓洪水等好处，以及其在英国的消失与重现历程，强调保护海狸对自然和人类都有益。 1．细节理解题。根据“Beavers build dams (大坝) across rivers with sticks and mud (泥土).”可知，海狸用树枝和泥土建造水坝。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Beavers were hunted until they died out in England 500 years ago. Surprisingly, they appeared on the River Otter in 2008 again.”可知，海狸曾经消失但又重新出现了。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Beavers clean pollution and help fight floods. They teach us that protecting wild animals isn't only good for them—it helps people too.”可知，作者认为保护海狸很重要，因为它们对自然和人类都有帮助。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。第①段总体介绍海狸作为“自然工程师”对环境有保护作用；第②③段详细说明海狸建造水坝的方式及其带来的具体好处；第④段讲述海狸在英国的消失与重现历程；第⑤段总结保护海狸的意义。因此文章是先简单介绍，再给出细节。故选D。 Passage 4 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市皇姑区·期末） Someone gives you one marshmallow (棉花糖). You can either eat it right away or wait for 15 to 20 minutes and get two. Would you wait? This is the famous “marshmallow test” from the 1960s. It was used to see how much self-control (自控力) children have. Surprisingly, a recent study shows that cuttlefish (乌贼) can pass this test too. What’s the study? Scientists at the University of Cambridge did the study. They set up two boxes of food for the cuttlefish. One had grass shrimp (藻虾) and the other had shore crab (食草蟹). Cuttlefish like to eat grass shrimp more than shore crab. They could eat the shore crab right away, but needed to wait to eat their preferred meal (the grass shrimp). It turned out that the cuttlefish would wait for 50 to 130 seconds for grass shrimp. This is quite clever, researcher Nicola Clayton said. “Self-control needs an understanding that ‘less is sometimes more’,” she said. Why can they do this? In the past, scientists did the “marshmallow test” on several large-brained animals, such as apes (猩猩) and parrots (鹦鹉). They could control themselves and wait too. As social animals, they already get benefit from this in the wild. For example, apes might wait to eat with others to make friends. But cuttlefish are not social. Scientists guess that they have self-control because they often spend a long time hiding from predators (捕食者). They have to wait patiently for predators to leave before they can look for food themselves. 1．Which of the following food do Cuttlefish like best? A．Large fish. B．Marshmallows. C．Shore crab. D．Grass shrimp. 2．What does Nicola Clayton think of cuttlefish? A．They are smart. B．They are foolish. C．They are helpful. D．They are friendly. 3．What does the underlined word “benefit” probably mean? A．food B．good C．method D．attention 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Marshmallow test B．Self-control children C．Waiting patiently D．Hiding from predators 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是最近的研究表明乌贼也能通过体现自控力的“棉花糖测试”，并分析了乌贼这么做的原因。 1．推理判断题。根据“Cuttlefish like to eat grass shrimp more than shore crab.”可知，选项中的四种食物中，文章中没有提到乌贼吃大鱼或棉花糖，而只提到了与食草蟹相比，乌贼更喜欢吃藻虾，所以乌贼最喜欢吃的是藻虾。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“It turned out that the cuttlefish would wait for 50 to 130 seconds for grass shrimp. This is quite clever, researcher Nicola Clayton said.”可知，Nicola Clayton认为乌贼是聪明的。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“As social animals, they already get benefit from this in the wild. For example, apes might wait to eat with others to make friends.”可知，例子中猩猩会等着其它猩猩来吃东西，目的是交朋友，所以此处应该是指“受益于”自控等候。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍的是乌贼也能通过等待来体现自控力的“棉花糖测试”，并从中获益，所以题目可以是“耐心等候”。故选C。 话题4 生活、兴趣与成长 Passage 1 （24-25七下·广东省深圳市盐田区·期末） In a mountain village, 14-year-old Hannah often spent hours in the woods exploring new things while others were used to their robotic daily tasks.

He was having his second knee surgery (手术) and my expectations were the same as the last successful surgery. My brother picked me up from school and we went to the hospital together. ★ , my first question was “How is he doing?” My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was swollen (肿). I tried my best not to cry because I needed to tell him what was going on since the nurses didn’t speak Spanish. I had never seen my father this way. He looked so weak and different from the strong man I knew. I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine. I returned to the hall and I understood that my hero was in danger, and at that moment, anything was possible. I remembered what happened when I was a child. “I’m going to the store.” he always said. Of course that was my reason to follow him. We would walk to the car, and sometimes if I was lucky, I was able to sit in the front seat. We would arrive at the store and he always said, “Get whatever you want and something for Ana.” Ana is my sister. My dad and I were best friends. He gave all his kids equal (平等的) attention, but I was always following him. It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl and he couldn’t say no to me. My father spent his whole life giving us the best. Growing up does not mean that one must keep oneself away from his parents. It is time to take action and value the feelings because it is the right thing to do. Life gives us chances to realize what’s most important in our lives. 1．How did the writer feel after knowing her father’s situation? A．Easy. B．Amazed. C．Worried.

Only about 20% of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80% is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91% of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, diving into the deep sea is very difficult and needs high technology. The first submarine (潜水艇) was built in 1620, and it could only go 5 metres deep. In fact, for a long time, many scientists thought nothing could live deeper than 550 metres. So, they didn’t try to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 metres below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, people found about 4,700 new sea species (物种). Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, it is freezing at greater depths, everything is completely dark, and the pressure (压力) can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface. Although we have many difficulties, it’s important to understand the seas. They help control the Earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen in the air. They can also tell us about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 1．Why are some numbers listed in paragraph 1? A．To introduce how important the oceans are. B．To talk about why sea animals have yet to be found. C．To explain that the oceans cover a large area of the Earth. D．To show that we only have a little understanding of the oceans. 2．Why didn’t scientists explore the deep sea for a long time? A．Because the deep sea was too dangerous for humans. B．Because early submarines could dive very deep easily. C．Because they thought the technology was too expensive. D．Because they believed no life could survive under 550 metres. 3．Which of the following are the reasons why deep-sea exploration is difficult? a. The water is very cold there.        b. The deep sea is very dark. c. The pressure is very high there.        d. The waves are very strong there. A．abc B．abd C．bcd D．acd 4．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Sea animals. B．The seas. C．Difficulties. D．Many scientists. 5．What could be the best title of the text? A．The Climate of the Deep Sea B．The Future of the Deep Sea C．The Deep-Sea Exploration D．The Unknown Lives of the Deep Sea 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人类对海洋的探索仍然非常有限，以及深海探索面临的困难和重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Only about 20% of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80% is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91% of sea animals have yet to be discovered.”可知，这些数字是为了说明人类对海洋的了解非常有限。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In fact, for a long time, many scientists thought nothing could live deeper than 550 metres. So, they didn’t try to explore the deep sea.”可知，科学家们长期未探索深海是因为他们认为550米以下没有生命。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“it is freezing at greater depths, everything is completely dark, and the pressure can be over 1,000 times greater than that on the surface.”可知，深海探索的困难包括低温、黑暗和高压（a、b、c三项），但文中未提及“海浪很强”（d项）。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Although we have many difficulties, it’s important to understand the seas. They help control the Earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen in the air.”可知，尽管我们面临许多困难，但了解海洋很重要。它们帮助调节地球温度并产生空气中一半的氧气。“They”指代前文提到的“the seas”。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕人类对深海的探索展开，包括探索的现状、历史、困难以及重要性，因此最佳标题应概括深海探索的主题。选项C“The Deep-Sea Exploration”最贴合全文主旨。故选C。 Passage 3 The mangrove wetlands (红树林湿地) of Shenzhen’s Futian and Hong Kong’s Mai Po are very valuable. Every year, many waterbirds fly from East Asia to Australia. These wetlands are a key place for them to rest. These years, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have worked together to protect these important wetlands. Why are these mangrove wetlands so important? Because they are like nature’s protectors. They make a natural wall, protecting coasts from big storms (暴风雨). Besides, the thick forest of mangrove trees provides a perfect home for birds. They build nests there and look after their babies. “Even during storms, baby birds are safe in the mangroves,” said Simon Wong from Hong Kong’s nature team. What’s more, mangroves help take in CO₂ and clean the water. As a result, they are helpful for both nature and humans. To protect the wetlands together, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have used different ways since 2023. One of them is to protect birds’ homes with the help of modern AI technology. Thanks to their efforts, the population of endangered birds in the wetlands has grown. For example, there were only about 300 black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭) around 30 years ago. Now there are nearly 7,000. In November 2024, the two cities started a new part of their teamwork. The International Mangrove Center (IMC) in Shenzhen opened. The IMC does research on mangrove protection, shares useful ideas and gives classes to the public. Its opening helps Shenzhen and Hong Kong work better to protect the wetlands. It also shows the world how cities can join hands to protect the environment. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Cities. B．Wetlands. C．Waterbirds. D．Mangroves. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．Mangroves are unsafe for baby birds. B．Mangroves can protect tall buildings from storms. C．Mangroves can produce a lot of CO₂ and dirty water. D．Mangroves are good for not only nature but also people. 3．Why does the writer talk about black-faced spoonbills’ population? A．To introduce modern AI technology. B．To tell readers what the birds look like. C．To explain why endangered birds are important. D．To show the success of protecting birds’ homes. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．Students can do research on mangrove protection in the IMC． B．The IMC guides cities to work better together and protect nature. C．The IMC mainly helps the two cities to build more mangrove forests. D．People don’t need to worry about wetland problems because of the IMC． 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Mangroves provide safe homes for waterbirds. B．The IMC in Shenzhen helps protect the wetlands. C．There are more black-faced spoonbills in Shenzhen. D．The two cities protect the mangrove wetlands together. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述深圳和香港合作保护红树林湿地，包括湿地的价值、保护措施、成效和IMC的成立。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Every year, many waterbirds fly from East Asia to Australia. These wetlands are a key place for them to rest.”可知，每年都有许多水鸟从东亚飞到澳大利亚，这些湿地是它们休息的关键场所。所以划线词指代水鸟。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。根据“As a result, they are helpful for both nature and humans.”并结合本段内容可知，本段明确说明红树林的作用：形成天然屏障保护海岸，为鸟类提供安全家园，吸收 CO₂ 和净化水源。即红树林不仅对自然有好处，对人类也有好处。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“Thanks to their efforts, the population of endangered birds in the wetlands has grown.”可知，第三段提到黑脸琵鹭的数量从30年前的约300只增加到近7000只，是为了举例证明保护措施（如AI技术）的成功成果。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“Its opening helps Shenzhen and Hong Kong work better to protect the wetlands. It also shows the world how cities can join hands to protect the environment.”可知，它的开放有助于深圳和香港更好地保护湿地，它还向世界展示了城市如何携手保护环境。即IMC指导城市更好地合作，保护自然。故选B。 5．主旨大意题。本文主要讲述深圳和香港合作保护红树林湿地，包括湿地的价值、保护措施、成效和IMC的成立。所以本文的主旨是：两个城市共同保护红树林湿地。故选D。 话题6 文化与习俗 Passage 1 Among the most famous traditional Chinese paintings, there is a very long painting of horses called One Hundred Horses. As its name suggests, One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in different poses (姿势). Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water, play on the ground or even fight. The painting’s large size alone is enough to interest viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining. He was born in 1688 in Milan, Italy. In 1715, he traveled to Beijing. As an experienced painter, he was invited to work as an artist in the palace. Seven years later, Emperor (皇帝) Yongzheng came to power. By then, Castiglione had already made a name for himself. He was famous for a special style that mixed Western and Chinese painting methods. In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk painting nearly eight meters long. Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a mark is made, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper and planned everything carefully. Then he copied the design onto silk step by step. It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting. There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it. But the following emperor, Qianlong, thought highly of it and called the painting a wonderful work. Castiglione skillfully mixed Western realism (现实主义) with Chinese painting skills. The trees, horses and people look true to life, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western aesthetics (美学). Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much. 1．What can we know about Castiglione from Paragraph 2? A．He came to Beijing when he was 34 years old. B．He was invited to the palace for his painting skills. C．He only used traditional Chinese ways to paint. D．He worked as a teacher in the Chinese palace. 2．Why did Emperor Qianlong like the painting so much according to the text? A．Because it took the painter four years to finish it. B．Because it is nearly eight meters long and very large. C．Because it shows a wonderful mix of two cultures. D．Because there are about 100 horses in different poses. 3．What’s the structure of the passage? A．Painting→ Painter→Creation→Value B．Painter→Painting→Creation→Value C．Creation→Painting→Painter→Value D．Value→Painter→Painting→Creation 4．What’s the best title (标题) for the text? A．One Hundred Horses: Where East Meets West B．How to Paint on Silk: A Difficult Painting Skill C．Giuseppe Castiglione: A Famous Italian Painter D．Chinese Paintings: Beauty in Traditional Art 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了融合中西绘画风格的名作《百骏图》的创作者、创作过程，以及这幅画作兼具东西方美学融合的独特价值。 【详解】393．第二段指出：“As an experienced painter, he was invited to work as an artist in the palace.”，说明他凭借绘画技艺被邀请入宫作画。 1．第四段指出：“humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western aesthetics...Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much.”，表明画作融合东西方两种文化美学，达到完美平衡，因此乾隆十分喜爱。 2．第一段先介绍画作《百骏图》；第二段介绍创作者郎世宁；第三段讲述画作的创作过程与难度；第四段评价画作的文化价值与意义，行文结构为：画作→画家→创作→价值。 3．全文围绕名画《百骏图》展开，介绍了意大利画师融合中西画法创作此画，体现东西方美学结合的核心内容。其余选项只片面提及丝绸绘画、画家个人、中国传统绘画，无法概括全文主旨。 Passage 2 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市浑南区·期末） Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of them have unpleasant meanings. The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. “To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt (债务). A company tries to keep its head above water during hard economic (经济的) times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job. “Water over the dam (坝)” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. Another common expression, “to hold water”, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. If your argument (论点) can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and not worth arguing. “Throwing cold water” is also an expression that deals with ideas or advice. It means not liking an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car. But your wife “throws cold water” on the idea because she says a new car costs too much. 1．What do expressions about water usually mean according to the writer? A．Important B．Great C．Bad D．Interesting 2．What does it mean when someone tries to keep his head above water? A．He is worried about his friends. B．He has money problems at present.

D．History. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些与水相关的英语表达及其含义，这些表达大多具有不愉快的意思。 1．细节理解题。根据“Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of them have unpleasant meanings.”可知，与水相关的表达通常有不好的意思，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“‘To keep your head above water’ is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt (债务).”可知，“To keep your head above water”意思是不负债，由此可推断当有人努力做到这点时，他目前有金钱方面的问题，故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“‘Water over the dam (坝)’ is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed.”可知，“water over the dam”指的是已经完成且无法改变的事情，故选C。 4．推理判断题。文章主要介绍与水相关的英语表达，这属于语言文化范畴，所以最可能在网站的文化部分找到这篇文章，故选A。 Passage 3 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市铁西区·期末） Tea has a long history in China. Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960—1279) , tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha” (点茶) . Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked with water to make soft “clouds”. People liked using white tea because it made the clouds look as white as the moon. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of making dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. The next year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since 1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. 1．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the text? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 2．The word “whisked” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.

D．In 1279. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．More Than a Drink B．Tea Trade in China C．Art in a Tea Cup D．Journey of Yunnan Tea 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕中国茶展开，介绍了中国不同种类茶的产地，以及茶在不同历史时期的发展情况，包括宋代点茶文化、云南普洱茶的传播等。 【详解】327．细节理解题。根据“People liked using white tea because it made the clouds look as white as the moon.”可知，点茶常用白茶，故选D。 1．词句猜测题。根据“Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked with water to make soft ‘clouds’”可知，这里说的是把粉状的茶和水快速搅拌来制作轻柔的“云”状，“whisked”意思是“快速搅拌”，与“mixed quickly”意思相近，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“ In 1976,...The next year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell ‘Yunnan Tuocha’ in Europe.”可知，前一年是1976年，第二年即1977年他开始在欧洲销售“云南沱茶”，故选B。 3．最佳标题题。本文不仅介绍了中国茶的种类、历史，还提到茶在文化交流、贸易等方面的意义，茶不仅仅是一种饮品，选项A“不仅仅是一种饮品”最合适，故选A。 Passage 4 ①Jack in the Green is a fun English festival in May.

In the past, people had to spend hours reading books and organizing ideas by hand. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) has changed that. It makes research and writing much faster and easier than before. What exactly is AI? You can think of it as a smart tool that creates new things from what humans have already made. It is like a puzzle—it rearranges (重新排列) many small pieces of information into a new picture. Although AI does not “think” or invent ideas like humans do, it can provide great results on many topics. It can explain difficult concepts (概念), summarize long stories, and even suggest exercises for students to practice. AI is useful in many ways. First, it provides advice. If your writing has weak points, AI can find them and suggest better ways to write. Second, it saves time. An AI tool can turn a long article into a short summary, so you can get the main points quickly. Third, it helps with planning. You can ask AI to create a plan for your project or a study plan for your exams. However, we must remember that AI is only a helper. It cannot replace human thinking. Just like a washing machine, AI simplifies (简化) our work, but it does not have the skills or judgment we have. We should still check facts and think carefully about the information we receive. When we use technology wisely, it becomes a powerful tool that saves our energy for more creative work. By combining human skills with technology, we can achieve much more in our studies. 1．How is AI similar to a puzzle according to the writer? A．It finds missing information. B．It helps people think. C．It creates a new picture. D．It solves human problems. 2．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．How to improve creative work. B．Why AI is smarter than humans. C．Advice on using AI tools.

They were made by a robotics company in Hangzhou. The company has now developed a new product—the G1 Bionic robot. It can walk and run on different types of ground or even play kung fu. In the past, human-like robots had a hard time keeping balance on rough ground. When we walk, we stretch out one leg, lean forward a bit, and quickly move the other leg forward. But when a two-legged robot does this on rough ground, it can easily fall down. The G1 Bionic robot solves this problem with some high-tech devices. Its sensors (传感器) and special camera act as powerful eyes. The sensors use lasers (镭射) to help it see all around it in 360 degrees. And the camera tells it how far away things are. Besides, the robot has motors on its joints (关节). The motors change how hard it pushes its legs so that the robot can adjust itself to avoid falling. On top of that, the robot has built-in AI. Its developers filmed humans moving on different types of ground. The AI has learned from these videos and it can control the robot to move in the same way. The robot walks and runs across train tracks and over rocks. It even goes up and down hills. The robot can reach the speed of up to 7.2 kilometers per hour. That’s faster than most people do. Way to go, G1! 1．According to the article, in the past, human-like robots met problem in ________.

Energy from the sun is called solar (太阳的) energy. It comes in the form of light or heat. Solar energy makes you feel warm. People have used solar energy for many years. Houses were built with windows so that sunlight can get inside and provide heat. The sun’s energy can also be used to heat water and even food. We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels (太阳能电池板). Solar panels are made up of silicon (硅). When the sunlight reaches the solar panel, the electrons (电子) in the silicon move and flow (流动) through wires in the solar panel. Using this technology, we can run even cars. But what happens when clouds block the solar panels? The electrons in the silicon will stop moving. But this doesn’t mean that solar energy can only be used on bright sunny days. Solar panels can have batteries to store electricity for a rainy day. When the sun is shining, the electricity flows from the solar panel into the batteries. The stored electricity can be used at night or on cloudy days. Solar energy is not as expensive as before now. The sun produces more energy in one second than people have used since the beginning of time. Just imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our Earth. 1．What are the uses of solar energy? ①making people feel warm    ②letting sunlight get inside ③building houses with windows    ④heating water and even food A．①③ B．①④ C．②③ D．②④ 2．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us how people ________.

Riding a ZXMOTO motorcycle, he became the first rider to win top prizes for a Chinese brand. This surprised the whole motorsport world. For many years, top motorcycle racing was controlled by strong Japanese and European brands. They had kept an unbreakable hold on the sport. ZXMOTO’s important success has finally broken that control, starting a new chapter for Chinese motorcycle making on the world stage. The founder of ZXMOTO is Zhang Xue from Hunan, China. He has loved motorcycles all his life. He started as a motorcycle repair trainee at 14 and got rich professional experience through years of hard learning and practice. In 2017, he helped start another Chinese brand, KOVE, and led it to good results in a famous race. In 2024, he started ZXMOTO by himself. He focused on independent research and refused to depend too much on foreign technology. This victory is more than a sporting success. It shows the rising power of Chinese manufacturing (制造业) and home-made innovation. It proves that with true passion, firm determination, and independent core technology, Chinese brands can build world-class racing bikes. They can help top riders compete at the highest level and stand as equals among the world’s best motorcycle makers. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the World Supersport Championship before 2026? A．Chinese motorcycles were as competitive as Japanese ones. B．No Chinese-made motorcycle had ever won a top prize. C．The race was only held in Japan and Europe. D．French riders were always the best. 2．What do we know about Zhang Xue from the passage? A．He started ZXMOTO with foreign help. B．His interest in motorcycles began when he was young. C．He was the first Chinese rider to win a world title. D．He gave up repairing motorcycles to start his own brand. 3．Which is the most important reason for Zhang Xue’s success?

They had kept an unbreakable hold on the sport. ZXMOTO’s important success has finally broken that control.”说明在2026年之前，从未有中国制造的摩托车赢得过顶级奖项。 1．第三段明确指出：“He has loved motorcycles all his life. He started as a motorcycle repair trainee at 14...”说明张雪从小就对摩托车产生了兴趣。 2．最后一段明确指出：“It proves that with true passion, firm determination, and independent core technology, Chinese brands can build world-class racing bikes.”说明张雪成功的最重要原因是他对摩托车的热爱、坚定的决心和自主研发的核心技术。 3．文章结构为：先讲结果（第一段：ZXMOTO赢得胜利），再讲背景（第二段：过去被日欧品牌垄断；第三段：创始人经历），最后讲意义（第四段：展现中国制造和自主创新的力量）。因此是“结果→背景→意义”的组织方式。 4．全文围绕中国摩托车品牌ZXMOTO打破国外品牌对赛事的长期垄断这一核心事件展开，因此最佳标题为“中国摩托车品牌打破全球赛事垄断”。 Passage 2 ① In Hubei province, a new kind of hero is helping to protect nature. Last November, Jingshan city introduced its first remote-control forest firefighting robot. This high-tech machine is designed to go where it is too dangerous for humans. It looks like a small tank with some strong tracks (履带), allowing it to climb very steep hills. A worker can stand 150 meters away — safely away from heat and smoke — and use a wireless (无线的) controller to tell the robot what to do. ② The robot has a special cutting tool that can cut down trees up to 20 centimeters thick. Its main job is to create the paths called “firebreaks” (防火带), which can stop a fire from spreading. Before the robots arrived, firefighters had to dig these paths by hand using traditional tools. This was slow and very risky. Now, one robot can do the same job faster and keep everyone safe from the flames. ③ But the robot isn’t just a firefighter. For the rest of the time without any dangerous situations, it plays a role in stopping tree thieves, or works on other forest jobs like clearing fallen leaves. Hubei is also using other smart tools, like 128 “drone (无人机) stations” that fly over the forest to look for smoke. They even use satellites and AI to watch the trees from space! These “smart guardians” will surely make China’s beautiful forests stay green and safe in the following years. The whole system costs a lot, but the government believes that it is not a waste of money compared with its influence. ④ Looking ahead, scientists and engineers are already working on the next generation of firefighting robots. They hope to make them even smaller, faster, and more intelligent. Some new models may be able to work together in teams, communicate with each other. If successful, these future robots could not only protect forests from the danger of fires, but also help the firefighters to guard cities. 1．What does the word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The small tank. B．The robot. C．The forest. D．The worker. 2．How does the writer develop the second paragraph? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples. D．By showing facts. 3．What can we infer about the robot’s work when there is no fire? A．It helps take care of the forest. B．It takes a rest to save the energy. C．It goes back to a station to be fixed. D．It trains firefighters to use new equipment. 4．How does the writer feel about the use of these “smart guardians”? A．Amazed at the high cost. B．Proud of the next generation. C．Confident about their future. D．Interested in their appearance. 5．What will the writer most likely talk about next in the last paragraph? A．The reasons why robots can help firefighters stay safe. B．The future plans to use robots to protect cities from fires. C．A step-by-step guide to controlling the firefighting robot. D．The advantages of using drones to look for smoke in forests. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了湖北省京山市引入的远程遥控森林消防机器人，展示了这些“智能卫士”如何保护森林，并对未来应用表达了信心。 【详解】428．第一段中“This high-tech machine is designed to go where it is too dangerous for humans.”，这里的“it”指代前一句提到的“remote-control forest firefighting robot”，即机器人。 1．第二段通过对比机器人到来前后消防员的工作方式，如“Before the robots arrived, firefighters had to dig these paths by hand…Now, one robot can do the same job faster…”来陈述事实，因此是通过展示事实来发展段落。 2．第三段提到“For the rest of the time without any dangerous situations, it plays a role in stopping tree thieves, or works on other forest jobs like clearing fallen leaves.”，说明没有火灾时机器人会帮助照顾森林，如阻止偷树、清理落叶等。 3．第三段结尾“These ‘smart guardians’ will surely make China’s beautiful forests stay green and safe in the following years.”中的“will surely”体现了作者对它们未来的信心。 4．最后一段先提到科学家在研发下一代机器人，最后说“If successful, these future robots could not only protect forests…but also help the firefighters to guard cities…”，因此接下来最可能讨论用机器人保护城市免受火灾的未来计划。 Passage 3 In 2026, the idea of “spring and autumn holidays” for primary and secondary school students became a hot topic at the Two Sessions. The government will help some places try these short holidays. At the same time, workers can take their paid holidays at different times so that not everyone is on holiday together. Provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Sichuan have already tried this policy and it worked well. The goal is to let families travel when there are fewer tourists and to help local businesses. These holidays are good for students in many ways. After studying for a long time, students can relax and feel better in both body and mind. The weather is nice, so students can go outside and do fun activities, like farming, watching nature, or learning about local culture. This helps them turn what they learn from books into real-life experiences. It’s good for both education and society. But there are still some problems. Many parents have to work and cannot take care of their children during the holidays. To solve this, schools now offer childcare with fun activities, and local communities also have more programs. The holidays can also be planned flexibly depending on local needs. In short, these holidays are an important new idea in education. They help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way. 1．Where did the “spring and autumn holidays” become a hot topic in 2026? A．At the Two Sessions B．In some schools C．In local communities D．In some families 2．Which of the following provinces has NOT tested the holiday policy?

C．They stay at home all day D．They can make more money. 4．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．Parents don’t worry about their children during the holidays. B．Schools offer no help for working parents. C．The holidays can be planned flexibly. D．The holidays have nothing to do with local communities. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．How to travel in off-peak seasons. B．Spring and autumn holidays—a new educational try. C．Ways to improve students’ grades. D．The history of school holidays. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了2026年两会期间提出的中小学生“春秋假”政策，政府支持部分地区试点，并鼓励职工错峰休带薪假。文章分析了春秋假对学生身心发展的好处，也指出了家长照顾难的问题及相应解决措施，最后肯定了这种教育新尝试的意义。 【详解】438．第一段第一句提到：“the idea of ‘spring and autumn holidays’ for primary and secondary school students became a hot topic at the Two Sessions”，说明春秋假成为热点是在“两会”上。 1．第一段提到“Provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Sichuan have already tried this policy”，试点的有浙江、江苏、四川，没有提到广东。 2．第二段提到：“After studying for a long time, students can relax and feel better in both body and mind”，说明春秋假可以帮助学生减轻学习压力，放松身心。 3．第三段提到：“The holidays can also be planned flexibly depending on local needs”，因此C项正确。 4．文章通篇围绕春秋假这一教育新尝试展开，分析其好处与问题$ 专题05 阅读理解常考话题 话题1 人物与榜样 话题2 旅行与景点（建筑） 话题3 人与动植物 话题4 生活、兴趣与成长 话题5 环保与低碳 话题6 文化与习俗 话题7 科技与发明、科普知识 话题8 时文阅读 话题1 人物与榜样 Passage 1 （24-25七下·广州市增城区·期末）Yu Min was an important Chinese nuclear physicist (核物理学家), and he is honored as “the father of Chinese Hydrogen Bomb (氢弹)”. In 1961, when Yu was given the task of researching on the hydrogen bomb, he accepted it without thinking. For the next 28 years, he kept his work a secret and stayed hidden from the public. Even his wife didn’t know his job. To develop China’s own hydrogen bomb quickly, Yu worked day and night. He guided his team to create a complete design after three months of calculations (计算).

I’m Li Bing, an ancient engineer from Qin State. Let me tell you about Dujiangyan—the world’s oldest working water system. We built it over 2,200 years ago! What was our problem? Long ago, people in Sichuan faced a big problem. In rainy seasons, the Min River often flooded their farms. But in dry seasons, there was no water for crops. How did we solve it? Instead of building dam walls to block the water, we let the water run its own way. First, my team had to cut through Mount Yulei to make the Baopingkou (宝瓶口). It led part of the Min River to run east. Without any machines, we could only use fire and freezing water to break the rocks open. This took us eight years. Then we built the Yuzui (鱼嘴) to divide the river into two parts. One part carried water to farms, while the other stopped floods. The next problem was the sand and stones in the Min River. We built Feishayan (飞沙堰) to wash them away with water power and keep the system clean. Why can it last so long? It is our smart design. We made the deeper Inner River and the lower Feishayan, so the system could control the water during the flood and dry seasons. And for over 1,000 years, workers clean and take care of it every year. What does it bring? This is our greatest contribution: A river system grew. It not only made the land around Chengdu rich, but also waters over 7,700 square kilometers of farmland, and feeds 30 million people in 8 cities today. Besides, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To remember my son and me, locals celebrated with a traditional festival every spring. Also, Erwang Temple was built to honour us. What is the key to building it? Actually, we just listened to the water and followed its nature. 1．What does the underlined word “block” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Guide or lead. B．Collect or store. C．Stop from moving. D．Speed up. 2．How did Li Bing’s team build the system? A．They cut through Baopingkou to divide the river. B．They used rocks, fire and cold water to make Mount Yulei. C．They built Yuzui to take in the sand and stones. D．They built Feishayan to clean the system with water power. 3．What is the main result of building Dujiangyan? A．It created a famous temple and a yearly festival. B．It watered farms and fed millions of people. C．It made the builders world famous. D．It turned the area into a tourist attraction. 4．What can we learn from the water system? A．True engineering doesn’t need modern machines. B．Water is very important to human life. C．Working with nature leads to success. D．Chinese culture has spread to the world. Passage 6 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市辽中区·期末） The Qinghai-Xizang Railway connects Xining and Lhasa, the capital cities of Qinghai and Xizang. It ended Xizang’s no-railway history and set a new record for the world’s highest railway. The railway itself is a world wonder. Work began in 1958, and it took over 50 years to complete. Although it was a difficult task, Chinese engineers and workers did their best to overcome the challenges. The biggest challenge was permafrost (永冻层)—a type of frozen ground that remains at or below 0℃ for at least two years. Most of the railway is built on it. The ground can break easily if it gets too warm. Though the engineers were not familiar (熟悉) with this problem, they invented ways to solve it. They built walls to block the sunlight. This could keep the ground colder and stronger. In some places, the railway is built above ground, like long bridges. Another challenge was to protect the plants, rivers and animals along the line. The Qinghai-Xizang Railway passes through Kekexili and Qiangtang, places with many wild animals. The engineers built 25 special passages (通道) just for animals. Now the animals can cross the railway safely. Also, the air in the high mountains is thin, and the oxygen (O2) level is low. Passengers may feel sick. Engineers designed trains that can give passengers more oxygen. Although there were epic (史诗般的) challenges, Chinese engineers made history. Today, the Qinghai-Xizang Railway travels for 1,956 km across green rivers, along snowy mountains, by blue lakes, and through amazing deserts. It is an epic road. 1．How long did it take to complete the Qinghai-Xizang Railway? A．About 40 years. B．Over 50 years. C．Less than 50 years. D．Exactly 50 years. 2．What does the underlined word “block” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Stop. B．Improve. C．Produce. D．Connect. 3．Why did engineers build 25 special passages along the railway? A．To help passengers see wild animals. B．To protect the animals and let them cross the railway safely. C．To make the railway more beautiful. D．To allow workers to rest. 4．What can we learn from the text? A．The railway is 1,596 km long. B．There are no deserts along the Qinghai-Xizang Railway. C．The trains on this railway can provide more oxygen for passengers. D．The engineers knew permafrost well at first. 话题3 人与动植物 Passage 1 （24-25七下·广东省广州市南沙区·期末） Scientists found plants could “talk”. Lilach Hadany and her team recorded (录音) some plants in different places. Their recordings showed that the plants made some sounds. After the scientists changed their recordings, people could hear plants clicking (咔嗒) clearly. They also found the plants hardly clicked when they had enough water. As their soil (土壤) got drier, they clicked more and more. When the scientists cut off a part of the plants, the plants also clicked more. But the clicking wasn’t the same as when the plants needed water. The plants made more sounds when they felt bad. Because of these findings, the scientists thought that they can use a plant’s sounds to find out when it needs help, and what problem it is having. Some questions come with the study. One important question is: Do plants make sounds to talk with each other? Other studies showed that plants seem to talk in some ways. If some animals are eating the plants, the plants will send chemicals into the air. Soon, nearby plants start to make other chemicals that don’t taste good to the animals. Maybe the sounds could work in the same way. Another question is: Is anything listening to the plants? Hadany says that she and her team will study if plants or animals will answer the clicking sounds of the plants. The study changed people’s ideas about plants. Hadany says, “Even in a quiet place, there are sounds that we don’t hear, and those sounds have things to tell.” 1．What does the underlined word “hardly” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．sometimes B．Always C．Often D．almost never 2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Plants clicked more when the soil was too dry. B．Plants made no sound when scientists cut them off. C．Plants made sound to talk when animals were eating them. D．People couldn’t hear plants’ sounds because they were too quiet. 3．What will Hadany and her team study next? A．How do the plants make the clicking sounds? B．Do plants make sounds to talk with other plants? C．Will plants or animals answer plants’ clicking sounds? D．What can they do to change people’s ideas about plants? 4．Which one can be the title for the article? A．Plants can “talk”. B．Plants on Earth C．Beautiful music D．The sound of nature 5．We can read this passage from a _________. A．fairy story B．science magazine C．news report D．travel guide Passage 2 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市铁西区·期末） ①Beavers (海狸) , known as “nature’s engineers”, play a surprising role in protecting the environment. Scientists found that beavers do good things for the world around us. According to a new study, beavers do helps stop flooding (洪水) and pollution and can increase populations of fish and other wildlife. ②Scientists from the University Exeter watched wild beavers living on the River Otter in Devon for five years. Beavers build dams (大坝) across rivers with sticks and mud (泥土). These dams create ponds. These ponds become homes for other animals. The ponds work like natural cleaners. When rain washes soil and chemicals from farms into rivers, the dams stop up to 70% of this dirty stuff (东西). The scientists found 37% more fish living in the ponds made by beavers than in other parts of the river. Cleaner water helps all living things stay healthy! ③During storms, the dams slow floodwater by 50%. This protects nearby villages and farms. The slowed water also spreads into new wetlands, creating homes for birds, frogs, and insects. Sometimes the dams cause small floods on farmland. But people can make small changes to the dams, like adding pipes. This way, both people and animals are happy. ④Beavers were hunted until they died out in England 500 years ago. Surprisingly, they appeared on the River Otter in 2008 again. At first, the government wanted to hunt them, but the green protectors showed how important they are. Today, these hardworking animals are telling us how nature's ways make our environment better! ⑤Beavers clean pollution and help fight floods. They teach us that protecting wild animals isn't only good for them—it helps people too. Their story reminds us to work with nature, not against it. 1．How do beavers build dams? A．By using stones and wood. B．By using sticks and mud. C．By digging holes in the ground. D．By planting trees near rivers. 2．What do we learn from Paragraph 4? A．The government killed beavers. B．Beavers disappeared but returned. C．Humans and beavers can live together peacefully. D．Beavers cause some trouble but help a lot. 3．What does the writer think of protecting beavers? A．It is a waste of time and money. B．It should be done only in certain areas. C．It is unnecessary because they cause floods. D．It is important because they help both nature and people. 4．How is the text organized? A．By comparing beavers to other animals. B．By telling a story from beginning to end.

It was used to see how much self-control (自控力) children have. Surprisingly, a recent study shows that cuttlefish (乌贼) can pass this test too. What’s the study? Scientists at the University of Cambridge did the study. They set up two boxes of food for the cuttlefish. One had grass shrimp (藻虾) and the other had shore crab (食草蟹). Cuttlefish like to eat grass shrimp more than shore crab. They could eat the shore crab right away, but needed to wait to eat their preferred meal (the grass shrimp). It turned out that the cuttlefish would wait for 50 to 130 seconds for grass shrimp. This is quite clever, researcher Nicola Clayton said. “Self-control needs an understanding that ‘less is sometimes more’,” she said. Why can they do this? In the past, scientists did the “marshmallow test” on several large-brained animals, such as apes (猩猩) and parrots (鹦鹉). They could control themselves and wait too. As social animals, they already get benefit from this in the wild. For example, apes might wait to eat with others to make friends. But cuttlefish are not social. Scientists guess that they have self-control because they often spend a long time hiding from predators (捕食者). They have to wait patiently for predators to leave before they can look for food themselves. 1．Which of the following food do Cuttlefish like best? A．Large fish. B．Marshmallows. C．Shore crab. D．Grass shrimp. 2．What does Nicola Clayton think of cuttlefish? A．They are smart. B．They are foolish. C．They are helpful. D．They are friendly. 3．What does the underlined word “benefit” probably mean? A．food B．good C．method D．attention 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Marshmallow test B．Self-control children C．Waiting patiently D．Hiding from predators 话题4 生活、兴趣与成长 Passage 1 （24-25七下·广东省深圳市盐田区·期末） In a mountain village, 14-year-old Hannah often spent hours in the woods exploring new things while others were used to their robotic daily tasks. One rainy afternoon, she found an old house with broken windows. Though nervous, she tiptoed (蹑手蹑脚) and took a short breath—the dusty room was full of books! She jumped up and down with joy. Hannah’s friends laughed when she shared her find. “Books? How boring!” they said. Hurt but determined, Hannah read and was so inspired by the books every night. The stories taught her about the power of love, courage and kindness. She returned to the house daily, cleaning the house secretly. When villagers asked about her cuts and dust-covered clothes, she simply smiled. Although she knew it would be a difficult journey to share stories with the people in the village, she started telling stories in the fixed house. Her best friend Sanuki came first. As Hannah read aloud, her voice brought characters to life. Slowly, more neighbors joined. Children’s laughter replaced the house’s silence. Soon, villagers brought chairs and lamps, turning the space into a comfortable reading room. Years later, the house became the village library. The once-laughing friends helped organize book clubs. Hannah taught others to read throughout her life and everyone admired her. Travelers from different places came to listen to her stories. 1．What did Hannah find in the old house? A．Books. B．Lamps.

Passage 3 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市铁西区·期末） I sent a message to my sister at 12:30 p.m. during my lunch to ask her about my father’s progress (进展). He was having his second knee surgery (手术) and my expectations were the same as the last successful surgery. My brother picked me up from school and we went to the hospital together. ★ , my first question was “How is he doing?” My father was connected to a breathing machine and his face was swollen (肿). I tried my best not to cry because I needed to tell him what was going on since the nurses didn’t speak Spanish. I had never seen my father this way. He looked so weak and different from the strong man I knew. I asked him how he was feeling and he said he was fine. I returned to the hall and I understood that my hero was in danger, and at that moment, anything was possible. I remembered what happened when I was a child. “I’m going to the store.” he always said. Of course that was my reason to follow him. We would walk to the car, and sometimes if I was lucky, I was able to sit in the front seat. We would arrive at the store and he always said, “Get whatever you want and something for Ana.” Ana is my sister. My dad and I were best friends. He gave all his kids equal (平等的) attention, but I was always following him. It was okay for me to cry when I wanted something because I was his youngest girl and he couldn’t say no to me. My father spent his whole life giving us the best. Growing up does not mean that one must keep oneself away from his parents. It is time to take action and value the feelings because it is the right thing to do. Life gives us chances to realize what’s most important in our lives. 1．How did the writer feel after knowing her father’s situation? A．Easy. B．Amazed. C．Worried.

Passage 2 Although the oceans cover about 71% of the Earth’s surface, there’s still a lot we don’t know about them. Only about 20% of the seafloor has been mapped, and the remaining 80% is still a secret to us. Some scientists even think that 91% of sea animals have yet to be discovered. So why do we know so little about the deep sea? Well, diving into the deep sea is very difficult and needs high technology. The first submarine (潜水艇) was built in 1620, and it could only go 5 metres deep. In fact, for a long time, many scientists thought nothing could live deeper than 550 metres. So, they didn’t try to explore the deep sea. However, this changed in 1862 when life was discovered as far down as 945 metres below sea level with the help of a digging machine. Ten years later, people found about 4,700 new sea species (物种). Since then, high technology has been developed to help explore the deep sea. But why is deep-sea exploration still so difficult? Well, it is freezing at greater depths, everything is completely dark, and the pressure (压力) can be over 1, 000 times greater than that on the surface. Although we have many difficulties, it’s important to understand the seas. They help control the Earth’s temperature and produce half of the oxygen in the air. They can also tell us about climate change. Our future depends on learning more about our oceans, and it is possible for us to really understand what is ongoing below the surface. 1．Why are some numbers listed in paragraph 1? A．To introduce how important the oceans are. B．To talk about why sea animals have yet to be found. C．To explain that the oceans cover a large area of the Earth. D．To show that we only have a little understanding of the oceans. 2．Why didn’t scientists explore the deep sea for a long time? A．Because the deep sea was too dangerous for humans. B．Because early submarines could dive very deep easily. C．Because they thought the technology was too expensive. D．Because they believed no life could survive under 550 metres. 3．Which of the following are the reasons why deep-sea exploration is difficult? a. The water is very cold there.        b. The deep sea is very dark. c. The pressure is very high there.        d. The waves are very strong there. A．abc B．abd C．bcd D．acd 4．What does the underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Sea animals. B．The seas. C．Difficulties. D．Many scientists. 5．What could be the best title of the text? A．The Climate of the Deep Sea B．The Future of the Deep Sea C．The Deep-Sea Exploration D．The Unknown Lives of the Deep Sea Passage 3 The mangrove wetlands (红树林湿地) of Shenzhen’s Futian and Hong Kong’s Mai Po are very valuable. Every year, many waterbirds fly from East Asia to Australia. These wetlands are a key place for them to rest. These years, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have worked together to protect these important wetlands. Why are these mangrove wetlands so important? Because they are like nature’s protectors. They make a natural wall, protecting coasts from big storms (暴风雨). Besides, the thick forest of mangrove trees provides a perfect home for birds. They build nests there and look after their babies. “Even during storms, baby birds are safe in the mangroves,” said Simon Wong from Hong Kong’s nature team. What’s more, mangroves help take in CO₂ and clean the water. As a result, they are helpful for both nature and humans. To protect the wetlands together, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have used different ways since 2023. One of them is to protect birds’ homes with the help of modern AI technology. Thanks to their efforts, the population of endangered birds in the wetlands has grown. For example, there were only about 300 black-faced spoonbills (黑脸琵鹭) around 30 years ago. Now there are nearly 7,000. In November 2024, the two cities started a new part of their teamwork. The International Mangrove Center (IMC) in Shenzhen opened. The IMC does research on mangrove protection, shares useful ideas and gives classes to the public. Its opening helps Shenzhen and Hong Kong work better to protect the wetlands. It also shows the world how cities can join hands to protect the environment. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 1 mean? A．Cities. B．Wetlands. C．Waterbirds. D．Mangroves. 2．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．Mangroves are unsafe for baby birds. B．Mangroves can protect tall buildings from storms. C．Mangroves can produce a lot of CO₂ and dirty water. D．Mangroves are good for not only nature but also people. 3．Why does the writer talk about black-faced spoonbills’ population? A．To introduce modern AI technology. B．To tell readers what the birds look like. C．To explain why endangered birds are important. D．To show the success of protecting birds’ homes. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph? A．Students can do research on mangrove protection in the IMC． B．The IMC guides cities to work better together and protect nature. C．The IMC mainly helps the two cities to build more mangrove forests. D．People don’t need to worry about wetland problems because of the IMC． 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Mangroves provide safe homes for waterbirds. B．The IMC in Shenzhen helps protect the wetlands. C．There are more black-faced spoonbills in Shenzhen. D．The two cities protect the mangrove wetlands together. 话题6 文化与习俗 Passage 1 Among the most famous traditional Chinese paintings, there is a very long painting of horses called One Hundred Horses. As its name suggests, One Hundred Horses shows about 100 horses in different poses (姿势). Some stand quietly, while others run, walk, drink water, play on the ground or even fight. The painting’s large size alone is enough to interest viewers. A closer look, however, may surprise you further. To many people’s surprise, it was painted not by a Chinese artist but by an Italian named Giuseppe Castiglione. Castiglione was better known in China by his Chinese name, Lang Shining. He was born in 1688 in Milan, Italy. In 1715, he traveled to Beijing. As an experienced painter, he was invited to work as an artist in the palace. Seven years later, Emperor (皇帝) Yongzheng came to power. By then, Castiglione had already made a name for himself. He was famous for a special style that mixed Western and Chinese painting methods. In 1724, Yongzheng asked him to paint One Hundred Horses, a silk painting nearly eight meters long. Painting on silk is no easy task. Once a mark is made, there is no going back. Castiglione first practiced on paper and planned everything carefully. Then he copied the design onto silk step by step. It took Castiglione four years to finish the painting. There is no record of how Emperor Yongzheng viewed it. But the following emperor, Qianlong, thought highly of it and called the painting a wonderful work. Castiglione skillfully mixed Western realism (现实主义) with Chinese painting skills. The trees, horses and people look true to life, yet they were all painted with a Chinese brush. In One Hundred Horses, humans and nature live side by side in peace, and so do Eastern and Western aesthetics (美学). Perhaps this perfect balance is why Emperor Qianlong liked it so much. 1．What can we know about Castiglione from Paragraph 2? A．He came to Beijing when he was 34 years old. B．He was invited to the palace for his painting skills. C．He only used traditional Chinese ways to paint. D．He worked as a teacher in the Chinese palace. 2．Why did Emperor Qianlong like the painting so much according to the text? A．Because it took the painter four years to finish it. B．Because it is nearly eight meters long and very large. C．Because it shows a wonderful mix of two cultures. D．Because there are about 100 horses in different poses. 3．What’s the structure of the passage? A．Painting→ Painter→Creation→Value B．Painter→Painting→Creation→Value C．Creation→Painting→Painter→Value D．Value→Painter→Painting→Creation 4．What’s the best title (标题) for the text? A．One Hundred Horses: Where East Meets West B．How to Paint on Silk: A Difficult Painting Skill C．Giuseppe Castiglione: A Famous Italian Painter D．Chinese Paintings: Beauty in Traditional Art Passage 2 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市浑南区·期末） Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of them have unpleasant meanings. The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. “To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt (债务). A company tries to keep its head above water during hard economic (经济的) times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job. “Water over the dam (坝)” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. Another common expression, “to hold water”, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. If your argument (论点) can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and not worth arguing. “Throwing cold water” is also an expression that deals with ideas or advice. It means not liking an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car. But your wife “throws cold water” on the idea because she says a new car costs too much. 1．What do expressions about water usually mean according to the writer? A．Important B．Great C．Bad D．Interesting 2．What does it mean when someone tries to keep his head above water? A．He is worried about his friends. B．He has money problems at present.

B．His/her argument has no holes. C．What we finished can’t change. D．People can’t live without water. 4．In which part of a website would we most probably find the text? A．Culture. B．Life. C．Geography. D．History. Passage 3 （24-25七下·辽宁省沈阳市铁西区·期末） Tea has a long history in China. Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960—1279) , tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha” (点茶) . Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked with water to make soft “clouds”. People liked using white tea because it made the clouds look as white as the moon. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of making dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. The next year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since 1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. 1．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the text? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 2．The word “whisked” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________. A．mixed quickly B．smelt gently C．compared carefully D．tasted slowly 3．When did Fred Kempler begin to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe? A．In 1986. B．In 1977. C．In 1976. D．In 1279. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．More Than a Drink B．Tea Trade in China C．Art in a Tea Cup D．Journey of Yunnan Tea Passage 4 ①Jack in the Green is a fun English festival in May. Every year, when the festival comes, the streets turn into a green world. People wear green hats and carry green flags, laughing and shouting happily. It’s like a green wind blowing through the town, bringing spring happiness to everyone. ②No one knows exactly where the festival started. But long ago, people believed it could welcome the warm summer. In the old days, they thought green leaves could bring good luck and make plants grow fast. So they began to celebrate it every year in spring. ③Long ago, in the 1500s and 1600s, “Jack in Green” was a common sight during May Day. People dressed in green leaves and flowers, walking together in the streets. They wanted to show the spirit of spring—the time when trees and flowers start to grow again. ④Today, people still love this festival. Families come out together-parents, kids, and even grandparents! They wear bright clothes and leafy masks, holding green branches like little elves. They sing, dance, and share snacks, making the streets feel like a big, happy party. ⑤The most exciting part in this festival is “Green Jack”. He is a huge figure covered in green leaves from head to toe. Behind him, there are dancers in colorful clothes and musicians playing happy songs. When they walk, the sound of music fills the air, and everyone stops to watch. ⑥This festival is more than just fun.

In the past, people had to spend hours reading books and organizing ideas by hand. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) has changed that. It makes research and writing much faster and easier than before. What exactly is AI? You can think of it as a smart tool that creates new things from what humans have already made. It is like a puzzle—it rearranges (重新排列) many small pieces of information into a new picture. Although AI does not “think” or invent ideas like humans do, it can provide great results on many topics. It can explain difficult concepts (概念), summarize long stories, and even suggest exercises for students to practice. AI is useful in many ways. First, it provides advice. If your writing has weak points, AI can find them and suggest better ways to write. Second, it saves time. An AI tool can turn a long article into a short summary, so you can get the main points quickly. Third, it helps with planning. You can ask AI to create a plan for your project or a study plan for your exams. However, we must remember that AI is only a helper. It cannot replace human thinking. Just like a washing machine, AI simplifies (简化) our work, but it does not have the skills or judgment we have. We should still check facts and think carefully about the information we receive. When we use technology wisely, it becomes a powerful tool that saves our energy for more creative work. By combining human skills with technology, we can achieve much more in our studies. 1．How is AI similar to a puzzle according to the writer? A．It finds missing information. B．It helps people think. C．It creates a new picture. D．It solves human problems. 2．What is the third paragraph mainly about? A．How to improve creative work. B．Why AI is smarter than humans. C．Advice on using AI tools. D．How AI helps with studies. 3．Why does the writer mention a “washing machine”? A．To explain how machines work. B．To show AI is a helper. C．To encourage modern life. D．To compare different skills. 4．What does the writer suggest doing with AI? A．To stop using modern machines. B．To check information carefully. C．To let AI finish all work. D．To invent new ideas with AI. Passage 2 （24-25七下·广东省广州市越秀区·期末） Do you still remember the robots in the Yangge dance performance at the Spring Festival Gala (春节联欢晚会)? They were made by a robotics company in Hangzhou. The company has now developed a new product—the G1 Bionic robot. It can walk and run on different types of ground or even play kung fu. In the past, human-like robots had a hard time keeping balance on rough ground. When we walk, we stretch out one leg, lean forward a bit, and quickly move the other leg forward. But when a two-legged robot does this on rough ground, it can easily fall down. The G1 Bionic robot solves this problem with some high-tech devices. Its sensors (传感器) and special camera act as powerful eyes. The sensors use lasers (镭射) to help it see all around it in 360 degrees. And the camera tells it how far away things are. Besides, the robot has motors on its joints (关节). The motors change how hard it pushes its legs so that the robot can adjust itself to avoid falling. On top of that, the robot has built-in AI. Its developers filmed humans moving on different types of ground. The AI has learned from these videos and it can control the robot to move in the same way. The robot walks and runs across train tracks and over rocks. It even goes up and down hills. The robot can reach the speed of up to 7.2 kilometers per hour. That’s faster than most people do. Way to go, G1! 1．According to the article, in the past, human-like robots met problem in ________. A．walking on rough ground B．understanding orders from human C．moving the other leg forward quickly D．giving performance at the Spring Festival Gala 2．What does the underlined phrase “powerful eyes” refer to? A．The G1 Bionic robots. B．The lasers from the sensors. C．The robot’s sensors and special camera. D．The high-tech devices of the traditional robots. 3．How can the AI control the robot to move in the same way? A．By filming humans. B．By walking and running. C．By learning from the video. D．By moving on different ground. 4．If the G1 robot is used in life-saving missions, which ability will be most useful? A．Filming videos. B．Playing kung fu. C．Dancing on stage. D．Walking on rough ground. 5．What is the main purpose of this article? A．To introduce the G1 Bionic robot. B．To compare different kinds of robots in China. C．To explain how humans walk on rough ground. D．To show the performance of traditional human-like robots. Passage 3 （24-25七下·广东省广州市黄埔区·期末） Making a solar still (蒸馏器) If you can’t find clean water in the wild, you can make a solar still to get safe drinking water. It uses sunlight to get clean water from wet ground. What you need: ●A cup ●A 1.2-metre-long tube ●A clear plastic sheet (薄膜) (about 1.5m*1.5m) ●Some stones How to make the solar still: Step 1: Dig a hole in wet ground. The hole should be about 1.2 metres wide and 0.9 meter deep. Step 2: Put the cup at the deepest part of the hole. Then, put the long tube in the cup. Step 3: Cover the hole with the plastic sheet. Put some stones around the edge (边缘) of the plastic sheet so that it won’t move away. Put a small stone in the center of the plastic sheet, just above the cup. How the solar still works: Sunlight makes the hole hot. ●Water in the wet ground evaporates, rises up, and reaches the plastic sheet. ●It cools down and becomes little drops of water. ●These drops run down the plastic sheet and fall into the cup. ●Now, you can drink the clean water with the tube. 1．In which situation (情况) is a solar still needed? A．John wants to use a stone to dig a hole in a forest. B．Mary would like to get more sunlight outside. C．Lucy needs to find clean water in the wild.

It comes in the form of light or heat. Solar energy makes you feel warm. People have used solar energy for many years. Houses were built with windows so that sunlight can get inside and provide heat. The sun’s energy can also be used to heat water and even food. We can also turn the sun’s light into electricity. This is done with solar panels (太阳能电池板). Solar panels are made up of silicon (硅). When the sunlight reaches the solar panel, the electrons (电子) in the silicon move and flow (流动) through wires in the solar panel. Using this technology, we can run even cars. But what happens when clouds block the solar panels? The electrons in the silicon will stop moving. But this doesn’t mean that solar energy can only be used on bright sunny days. Solar panels can have batteries to store electricity for a rainy day. When the sun is shining, the electricity flows from the solar panel into the batteries. The stored electricity can be used at night or on cloudy days. Solar energy is not as expensive as before now. The sun produces more energy in one second than people have used since the beginning of time. Just imagine what we could do if we used the sun’s energy to power our Earth. 1．What are the uses of solar energy? ①making people feel warm    ②letting sunlight get inside ③building houses with windows    ④heating water and even food A．①③ B．①④ C．②③ D．②④ 2．Paragraph 2 mainly tells us how people ________. A．make solar panels B．use electricity to run cars C．turn sunlight into electricity D．store electricity at home 3．What does the underlined word “block” probably mean in Paragraph 3? A．Take. B．Carry. C．Help. D．Cover. 4．What can we know from the text? A．Trains can even use solar energy. B．Solar energy makes you feel sleepy. C．Now solar energy is cheaper than before. D．People can only use solar energy on sunny days. Passage 6 ①In 2023, China created the world’s largest wind turbine (涡轮机). The company that built it is called Mingyang Smart Energy. This amazing machine is called the MySE 16-260. It is an offshore wind turbine, which means it is placed in the ocean where the wind is strong. ②The MySE 16-260 is very large. Each of its blades (叶片) is 123 meters long— that’s longer than a soccer field! In one year, this wind turbine can produce enough electricity to power about 36,000 homes. ③Wind turbines work by using the wind to turn large blades. These blades make the machine go round to produce electricity. Wind energy is clean and does not pollute the air like coal or oil, which makes it better for the environment. ④Offshore wind turbines are important because they can catch stronger wind at sea and save land space. That’s why countries like China are building more wind farms in the ocean to get more clean energy. ⑤The MySE 16-260 shows that China is a leader in wind power technology. Building such a large turbine is a big step in fighting climate change. It is not only the world’s biggest wind turbine but also a symbol of a cleaner and greener future for us all. 1．What does the word “offshore” in paragraph 1 most likely mean? A．On land. B．In the air.

Riding a ZXMOTO motorcycle, he became the first rider to win top prizes for a Chinese brand. This surprised the whole motorsport world. For many years, top motorcycle racing was controlled by strong Japanese and European brands. They had kept an unbreakable hold on the sport. ZXMOTO’s important success has finally broken that control, starting a new chapter for Chinese motorcycle making on the world stage. The founder of ZXMOTO is Zhang Xue from Hunan, China. He has loved motorcycles all his life. He started as a motorcycle repair trainee at 14 and got rich professional experience through years of hard learning and practice. In 2017, he helped start another Chinese brand, KOVE, and led it to good results in a famous race. In 2024, he started ZXMOTO by himself. He focused on independent research and refused to depend too much on foreign technology. This victory is more than a sporting success. It shows the rising power of Chinese manufacturing (制造业) and home-made innovation. It proves that with true passion, firm determination, and independent core technology, Chinese brands can build world-class racing bikes. They can help top riders compete at the highest level and stand as equals among the world’s best motorcycle makers. 1．Which of the following is TRUE about the World Supersport Championship before 2026? A．Chinese motorcycles were as competitive as Japanese ones. B．No Chinese-made motorcycle had ever won a top prize. C．The race was only held in Japan and Europe. D．French riders were always the best. 2．What do we know about Zhang Xue from the passage? A．He started ZXMOTO with foreign help. B．His interest in motorcycles began when he was young. C．He was the first Chinese rider to win a world title. D．He gave up repairing motorcycles to start his own brand. 3．Which is the most important reason for Zhang Xue’s success? A．His early working experience. B．His decision to start his own brand. C．His passion, determination and independent core technology. D．His lifelong goal to defeat all foreign motorcycle brands. 4．How does the writer organize the passage? A．Past→Present. B．By listing people’s opinions. C．Result→Background→Meaning. D．By making comparison. 5．Which can be the best title for the text? A．The Story of a French Racing Champion B．The Development of International Motorcycle Racing C．Zhang Xue: From a Trainee to a Brand Founder D．Chinese Motorcycle Brand Breaks Global Racing Control Passage 2 ① In Hubei province, a new kind of hero is helping to protect nature. Last November, Jingshan city introduced its first remote-control forest firefighting robot. This high-tech machine is designed to go where it is too dangerous for humans. It looks like a small tank with some strong tracks (履带), allowing it to climb very steep hills. A worker can stand 150 meters away — safely away from heat and smoke — and use a wireless (无线的) controller to tell the robot what to do. ② The robot has a special cutting tool that can cut down trees up to 20 centimeters thick. Its main job is to create the paths called “firebreaks” (防火带), which can stop a fire from spreading. Before the robots arrived, firefighters had to dig these paths by hand using traditional tools. This was slow and very risky. Now, one robot can do the same job faster and keep everyone safe from the flames. ③ But the robot isn’t just a firefighter. For the rest of the time without any dangerous situations, it plays a role in stopping tree thieves, or works on other forest jobs like clearing fallen leaves. Hubei is also using other smart tools, like 128 “drone (无人机) stations” that fly over the forest to look for smoke. They even use satellites and AI to watch the trees from space! These “smart guardians” will surely make China’s beautiful forests stay green and safe in the following years. The whole system costs a lot, but the government believes that it is not a waste of money compared with its influence. ④ Looking ahead, scientists and engineers are already working on the next generation of firefighting robots. They hope to make them even smaller, faster, and more intelligent. Some new models may be able to work together in teams, communicate with each other. If successful, these future robots could not only protect forests from the danger of fires, but also help the firefighters to guard cities. 1．What does the word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to? A．The small tank. B．The robot. C．The forest. D．The worker. 2．How does the writer develop the second paragraph? A．By asking questions. B．By listing numbers. C．By giving examples.

C．It goes back to a station to be fixed. D．It trains firefighters to use new equipment. 4．How does the writer feel about the use of these “smart guardians”? A．Amazed at the high cost. B．Proud of the next generation. C．Confident about their future. D．Interested in their appearance. 5．What will the writer most likely talk about next in the last paragraph? A．The reasons why robots can help firefighters stay safe. B．The future plans to use robots to protect cities from fires. C．A step-by-step guide to controlling the firefighting robot. D．The advantages of using drones to look for smoke in forests. Passage 3 In 2026, the idea of “spring and autumn holidays” for primary and secondary school students became a hot topic at the Two Sessions. The government will help some places try these short holidays. At the same time, workers can take their paid holidays at different times so that not everyone is on holiday together. Provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Sichuan have already tried this policy and it worked well. The goal is to let families travel when there are fewer tourists and to help local businesses. These holidays are good for students in many ways. After studying for a long time, students can relax and feel better in both body and mind. The weather is nice, so students can go outside and do fun activities, like farming, watching nature, or learning about local culture. This helps them turn what they learn from books into real-life experiences. It’s good for both education and society. But there are still some problems. Many parents have to work and cannot take care of their children during the holidays. To solve this, schools now offer childcare with fun activities, and local communities also have more programs. The holidays can also be planned flexibly depending on local needs. In short, these holidays are an important new idea in education. They help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way. 1．Where did the “spring and autumn holidays” become a hot topic in 2026? A．At the Two Sessions B．In some schools C．In local communities D．In some families 2．Which of the following provinces has NOT tested the holiday policy? A．Zhejiang B．Jiangsu C．Sichuan D．Guangdong 3．What is one benefit (好处) of the holidays for students? A．They have more after-school classes. B．They can reduce study pressure. C．They stay at home all day D．They can make more money. 4．Which is TRUE according to the passage? A．Parents don’t worry about their children during the holidays. B．Schools offer no help for working parents. C．The holidays can be planned flexibly. D．The holidays have nothing to do with local communities. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．How to travel in off-peak seasons. B．Spring and autumn holidays—a new educational try. C．Ways to improve students’ grades. D．The history of school holidays. Passage 4 ①Recently, you may see headlines of “raising lobster” online, but the “lobster” (龙虾) is not the food you find on the dining table. It’s a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool (工具) called OpenClaw. In China, many people set up this AI on their computers, which they jokingly call “raising lobster”. ②For a while now, we have AI tools like ChatGPT. They can advise us on what to do, but they can’t reach into the real world to do it for us. Also, they only “talk” when we ask them. ③OpenClaw actually does things for us. For example, it can send emails and buy plane tickets. It also works in chat apps, so you can send messages to it like a friend. ④OpenClaw also has a long “memory”. Over time, it learns what you like and follows your timetable. You can wake up in the morning to a message about your top-three tasks without even having to ask the AI first. ⑤However, it comes with risks (风险). They may get the information on your phone like who you are talking to or where you are. Also it might record (记录) your voice or read your text messages. Once you agree, they can get your personal information without you knowing. What’s worse, in February, researchers found that some important data from OpenClaw was put online without telling the users. Hackers (黑客) could use this data to control users’ computers. That is not only worrying but also breaks privacy laws. ⑥ In a word, OpenClaw is helpful but risky. It can do things for you, but it may also give away your personal information. So be careful while using it! 1．Why does the writer mention (提及) “raising lobster” in Para.1? A．To show the symbol of OpenClaw. B．To lead into the topic of a new AI tool. C．To give an example of a popular online game. D．To give advice on how to cook lobster. 2．What CAN OpenClaw do according to the passage? ① Send emails for users. ② Buy plane tickets online. ③ Learn what users like. ④ Play games with users. A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④ 3．Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．How to Raise a Lobster on Your Computer B．ChatGPT vs. OpenClaw: Which is Better? C．OpenClaw: A Smart but Dangerous AI Tool D．An AI Tool that Changes the World 4．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
