专题06 阅读理解20篇（说明文）（辽宁专用） Passage 1 （2026·辽宁鞍山·二模）①When I feel bored or need to relax, I love visiting a park. Parks feel like magical places that bring me calm and peace. They are perfect for a short break whenever I feel bored. ②Pocket parks are small green spaces that can be found in many places. They are often between buildings, on street corners, or even on rooftops (屋顶). One best part is how these parks are close enough for people to just walk there, making them easy to visit. Even though pocket parks are small, they are beautifully designed with different kinds of plants. In these lovely spaces, you can take a walk, have a picnic with friends, or practice gentle activities like Tai Chi or yoga. Pocket parks also have play areas for children, making them great for families to spend time together. ③What makes pocket parks special is their ability to bring people together. They are places where neighbors can meet, chat, and get to know each other. Even a simple smile or a friendly nod can make someone’s day better. The warm and welcoming atmosphere (氛围) helps people feel connected and at home in their neighborhoods. ④Pocket parks also help make cities more sustainable—they provide cleaner air, peaceful spaces, and keep the environment healthy for the future. They will make city life better in the long term. Many cities in China are now working to create more pocket parks. For example, according to government reports, Shenyang has over 3,000 pocket parks, making it the city with the most pocket parks in China. ⑤Pocket parks in these cities show us that small things matter. They teach us to slow down, connect, and care for our planet. 1．Why does the writer like visiting pocket parks? A．To play team sports. B．To find calm and peace. C．To enjoy free picnics. D．To learn gardening skills. 2．Which words best describe pocket parks according to Paragraph 2? A．Traditional and expensive. B．Modern and noisy. C．Convenient and helpful. D．Crowded and boring. 3．What does the underlined word “sustainable” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Suitable for natural balance B．Easy for builders’ designs C．Useful for visitors’ experiences D．Good for cities’ future growth 4．What is the right structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 2 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模）In April 2026, the first live surgery (外科手术) of Beinao-1 was shown to the public, making this new Chinese technology hit headlines around the world. The main goal of Beinao-1 is to help people with disabilities. Some patients cannot move their arms or legs after accidents or illnesses. With Beinao-1, their thoughts can be turned into orders for machines. A 29-year-old patient, who was paralyzed (瘫痪的) for six years, could stand and walk with helpers after using Beinao-1 for five months. Beinao-1 is an important innovation that Chinese scientists have made after years of hard work. It is the first brain-computer interface (接口) (BCI) in the world that uses a soft electrode sheet (电极贴片). Unlike old BCI technologies which may hurt the brain, Beinao-1 is safe and comfortable for long-term use. This new tech uses a thin and soft electrode sheet that fits the brain well. When the sheet is put on the brain’s surface (表面), it receives signals (信号) and sends them out. There’s also a small wireless device (设备) that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine. With this “translator”, the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain and act. For example, if a disabled person thinks “I want to drink water”, a robotic arm can pick up a cup, fill it with water, lift it carefully to the person’s mouth, and finally put it back. In this way, Beinao-1 helps disabled people control things by thoughts. Beinao-1 is a symbol of China’s progress in high technology. It brings new hope to patients and shows China’s powerful tech development. 1．To better support the main idea of Paragraph 2, the writer ______. A．tells a story B．asks a question C．uses a saying D．gives an example 2．The underlined word “innovation” in the text probably means ______. A．Invention B．Conversation C．Description D．Decision 3．How does Beinao-1 help a disabled person control a robotic arm? A．By reading the person’s spoken words. B．By moving the person’s own arm directly. C．By using a wireless device held by the person. D．By translating the person’s thoughts into instructions. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To get more supports from foreigners. B．To share the daily life of disabled people. C．To introduce a new Chinese BCI technology. D．To explain the risks of using the smart machine. Passage 3 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模）Losing weight is a common wish for many people. While diet plays an important role, exercise is even more necessary to reach your goal of weight loss (减肥). Many people think exercise only helps by burning calories (卡路里) during the activity itself, but its effects go much deeper. When you do sports — whether lifting weights at the gym, swimming in a pool, or even taking the stairs, you’re not just using energy in the moment. Your metabolism (新陈代谢) will rise clearly. This means your body can keep burning calories faster than usual for hours after you finish exercising, and sometimes it can last up to 12 hours. Over weeks and months, it helps you lose weight without strict diets or tiring exercise plans. Another key point is how exercise changes your body’s makeup. It builds muscle (肌肉)，which is more active than fat. Even when you’re sitting or sleeping, muscle burns more calories than fat does. So, as you build muscle through regular exercise, your body becomes a more efficient (高效的) calorie-burning machine, which makes it easier to keep the weight off. Exercise also helps you lose fat by changing brain chemicals (化学物质), which can cut down your wish for unhealthy snacks and increase interest in healthy foods. These chemicals help you develop a better eating habit. Then they work with exercise to create a cycle where better eating habits and regular physical activities burn fat together. As a result, exercise makes fat loss much easier and more lasting. 1．How does the body burn calories after exercise? A．It returns to normal level right away. B．It burns fewer calories than it used to. C．It keeps burning more calories for hours. D．It burns calories at the same speed as usual. 2．Why does building muscle help keep weight off? A．Muscle burns more calories than fat does. B．Muscle makes the body look slimmer fast. C．Muscle reduces the need for daily exercise. D．Muscle stores energy to stop overeating. 3．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______. A．Unhealthy snacks. B．Healthy foods. C．Brain chemicals. D．Physical activities. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．When calories burn in our bodies B．Why exercise works for weight loss C．Which habit shapes a healthy lifestyle D．How diet helps lose weight easily Passage 4 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模）Trees may seem quiet and still, but they have their own “senses” to survive in nature. Just like humans, they can feel, respond to and even “communicate” with the world around them. These special abilities help trees live for many years, even in difficult environments. Unlike humans, trees don’t have eyes, ears or hands, but their “senses” are enough to keep them safe and healthy. Trees have a strong sense of touch. When a caterpillar (毛毛虫) eats their leaves, they can feel the small bites and release a special smell to drive the caterpillar away. Sometimes, this smell can also attract other insects that eat caterpillars, helping trees get more protection. They can also sense changes in water. If there is little water in the soil, their roots will grow deeper to find more water, and their leaves will close a little to save water. Besides touch, trees can “hear” and “smell”. Some trees can sense the sound of wind and adjust their branches to avoid being broken. They can also smell harmful chemicals in the air and protect themselves by closing their leaf pores (气孔). When one tree is in danger, it sends out a chemical signal to warn other trees nearby, so they can get ready to protect themselves. In fact, trees are more amazing than we think. Their “senses” are not the same as ours, but they are very useful for their survival. By understanding tree senses, we can learn to protect them better and live in harmony with nature. Trees are important parts of our world, and their special abilities make our planet more beautiful. 1．What will trees do when a caterpillar eats their leaves? A．They will release a special smell. B．They will stop growing. C．They will break their leaves together. D．They will change their color. 2．How do trees find more water when there is little water in the soil? A．Their leaves will become smaller. B．Their roots will grow deeper. C．Their branches will grow longer. D．They will release a signal. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards trees? A．Worried and sad. B．Bored and uninterested. C．Surprised and admiring. D．Respectful and critical. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How trees grow fast. B．Trees can communicate with humans. C．How to protect trees. D．Trees have their own senses to survive. Passage 5 （2026·辽宁沈阳·二模）With rural revitalization (乡村振兴) and the fast development of economy (经济) and technology, many Chinese villages have changed a lot. Xiajiang Village in Zhejiang Province is a good example. It has turned from a quiet and poor place into a modern and lively one, especially in housing and travelling. In the past, villagers in Xiajiang Village lived in old houses made of wood and mud (泥). The walls were thin, so the houses were cold in winter and hot in summer. There were no clean toilets, and people had to carry water from a river far away every day. Life was hard and inconvenient. Now, with government support and more money from the growing economy, these old houses are gone. New houses stand in rows in Xiajiang Village, with bright rooms and clean yards. They use clean energy for lighting and heating, which helps reduce pollution. Villagers in Xiajiang Village now live comfortably and safely. Travelling in Xiajiang Village has improved greatly too. Years ago, the village only had narrow dirt roads. When it rained, the roads became dirty. Villagers walked or rode bikes to the town, which took several hours. Selling produce was difficult because of bad roads. Today, wide new roads connect Xiajiang Village to the city. Buses run four times a day, and many families in the village have their own cars. More tourists come to visit Xiajiang Village and local farmers can sell their fruit and vegetables to big cities quickly. New ways of travelling bring more jobs and money to Xiajiang Village. These changes in Xiajiang Village take place because of rural revitalization. It gives the village support and money. Economy provides enough money for building houses and roads, while technology makes life easier and smarter. Xiajiang Village is becoming richer and more beautiful. It is believed that all Chinese villages will have a bright future. 1．What’s the characteristic of the new houses in Xiajiang Village? A．They are usually built in a circle. B．They are made of stone and wood. C．They are environmentally friendly. D．They are joined to a river far away. 2．How does the writer describe travelling in Paragraph 3? A．By showing reasons and results. B．By showing experiences and feelings. C．By comparing the past with the present. D．By comparing advantages with disadvantages. 3．What leads to the increase in tourists to Xiajiang Village? A．Its beautiful view.B．Its perfect position.C．Its new technology. D．Its improved traffic. 4．Which can be the best title (标题) for the text? A．From Mud to Hope B．Fast Travel, Slow Life C．From Home to Traffic D．Small House, Big Village Passage 6 （2026·辽宁沈阳·二模）Red Star Over China, a must-read book for Chinese junior high school students, came from the American reporter Edgar Snow’s special experiences. In the summer of 1936, he set off for the revolutionary base (革命根据地) in Northwest China. As many foreigners knew little about the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Red Army, he went there in person to find out the real stories behind them. During his stay, Snow heard and recorded many stories of the Long March. The Red Army covered about 25,000 li, climbing high mountains, crossing big rivers and walking through wide grasslands. They faced heavy rain, strong wind and snowstorms, fighting enemies while beating cold and hunger. After hard marching and fighting, the Red Army achieved the final victory of the Long March. Snow also had the chance to meet great revolutionary leaders, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and so on. He noticed them lead a simple life and felt their unshakable revolutionary spirit. Though living in difficult conditions short of materials, these leaders always remained hopeful about the nation’s future and had a deep love for their country and people. Later, Snow turned all his experiences and discoveries into the book Red Star Over China. This meaningful book lets us know the Red Army’s true stories. After reading the book, we can learn to be brave and never give up in the face of difficulties. The book deepens our love for the motherland and makes us value today’s happy life more. 1．Why did Snow go to the revolutionary base in Northwest China? A．To report the facts. B．To admire the Red Army. C．To share his stories. D．To publish his new book. 2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly describe? A．The hardship of the Red Army. B．The importance of the book.

D．Never judge a book by its cover. Passage 7 （2026·辽宁沈阳·二模）At 3:42 a.m. on July 28, 1976, a terrible earthquake hit Tangshan, a city in Hebei Province. It was one of the most serious earthquakes in the 20th century. Most buildings fell down and lots of people lost their lives. This was the Tangshan Earthquake — a disaster that reminds us of the importance of earthquake safety. Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move suddenly and we cannot stop them. For this reason, learning safety rules to reduce harm is necessary. By mastering these safety methods, we can better protect ourselves and our families when nature shows its power. If you are indoors when an earthquake starts, stay calm first. Do not run outside in a hurry. Find a safe place quickly, such as under a strong table or desk. Stay away from windows, glass, and heavy furniture (家具) that may fall. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If you are in bed, stay there and cover your head with a pillow (枕头). If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground. Stay away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Do not use lifts during or after an earthquake. Wait until shaking stops before moving to a safer place. Remember, preparation before an earthquake is also necessary. Put heavy things on lower shelves. Keep a bag with water, food, medicine, and a flashlight (手电筒) at home. Make a family plan and know the safe place in each room. Schools and communities should organize earthquake drills to help people practise how to act when real danger comes. 1．What can we know about the Tangshan Earthquake from the text? A．It happened suddenly in the afternoon. B．Most buildings survived the earthquake. C．It is the most serious earthquake in history. D．Many people were killed in the earthquake. 2．Which is a correct way to keep safe in an earthquake? A．Hiding in bed and storing plenty of food. B．Keeping calm and finding a strong house. C．Waiting in a playground till shaking stops. D．Trying to run inside as quickly as possible. 3．What does the underlined word “drills” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Effects. B．Exercises. C．Records. D．Waves. 4．How does the text develop? A．What→How→Why B．Why→How→What C．What→Why→How D．Why→What→How Passage 8 （2026·辽宁鞍山·二模）Do you spend much time on social media? Do you watch short videos? From jokes, role-play to science, short videos have them all. They’re never boring. Some researchers wondered what influence short video apps might have on teens. A research team interviewed 31 teens between the ages of 13 and 18. The team noted that more than 60% of the teens said they often used short video apps. “The main reason is that short video apps always provide teens with content (内容) that they are interested in, and that they can enjoy with their friends,” one researcher said. At the same time, some teens were uncomfortable with the addictive (使人成瘾的) nature of the apps. “When I do use them,” one teenager explained, “I will go on with them for hours at a time without realizing it.” Other teens said that the apps’ videos of many perfect faces and lives could hurt their self-respect. “I see someone’s really nice house, cute dogs, or a happy family. There’s just so much content that I can often compare. It also makes me a little nervous,” said another teenager. So how can teenagers avoid those bad influences? They can control their addictive habits by reducing their screen time and choose a certain time as their “social media time”. They can also put their phones down for a few minutes and enjoy the real world. Take a walk, meet up with friends, and choose to make it a phone-less life. It may be difficult, but teenagers can do it. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By making a survey. B．By telling a story. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions. 2．What can we learn from the researcher’s words in Paragraph 2? A．Short video apps are easy to use. B．Short video apps help bring teens closer. C．Teenagers can learn a lot from short video apps. D．Short video apps offer rich and meaningful content. 3．Why do short video apps make some teens feel nervous? A．They always get bad news from them. B．They often compare themselves with others. C．They can’t help spending too much time on them. D．They can see some bad words about themselves. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The advantages of spending more time with friends. B．The importance of keeping away from short video apps. C．The ways of avoiding bad influences of short video apps. D．The bad influences of spending time on short video apps. Passage 9 （2026·辽宁铁岭·二模） Canada’s cities are growing fast, and this is changing the homes of wild animals. Many animals’ living places are destroyed or split (分裂) into small parts. It becomes hard for animals to move around and live safely. Some wild animals can get used to these changes well, but others have a hard time with them. John Wilmshurst from the Canadian Wildlife Group says city growth brings many problems for wildlife. For example, animals lose their homes, meet roads and fences (栅栏) that stop them from moving, and have more fights with humans. But cities also have lots of food for wild animals. It’s not easy to study the animals hurt by city growth, because they often go away. With GPS tools, scientists can see how some animals are afraid of city buildings and roads. Different animals get used to city life in different ways. Wolves keep away from people and cities, while bobcats live well in cities and even teach their babies living skills. Birds even change the sound of their songs to adapt to the noisy city. People are also trying to live with wildlife. They plant local plants in yards and make rules to protect animals, like keeping cats at home. Good city planning, such as building small roads for animals on big roads, also helps. It’s important for humans and wildlife to live together in peace, and both can learn to get used to the difficulties of growing cities. 1．What is making it hard for wild animals to move around and live safely? A．The increasing number of humans in Canada. B．The fast growth of Canada’s cities. C．The use of GPS tools by scientists. D．The fights between different kinds of animals. 2．Why is it not easy to study the animals hurt by city growth? A．Because these animals are too afraid of humans. B．Because these animals often leave the area. C．Because scientists don’t have enough tools. D．Because these animals are too small to be found. 3．What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” mean in the passage? A．Change. B．Fit. C．Leave. D．Hate. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show all wild animals can live well in cities. B．To tell us wolves and bobcats are common in cities. C．To ask scientists to study more wild animals in cities. D．To tell us how city growth affects wildlife and how humans live with them. Passage 10 （2026·辽宁丹东·二模）The Qinling Mountains are the dividing line between Northern and Southern China, along with the Huai River. They run from west to east, across Gansu, Shaanxi, and Henan. They play an important role not only in eco-environment but also in China’s history, culture and tourism. The Qinling Mountains are named after the ancient state of Qin, which is famous for being the birthplace of the Qin Dynasty. Many events happened in the Qinling Mountains. The early Chinese emperors, such as the Yan Emperor, the Yellow Emperor and Fuxi, spent their days in the northern areas of the Qinling Mountains. The Book of Songs (《诗经》) and many other Chinese works came from the Qinling Mountains area. The Qinling Mountains are covered by many plants, which are home to many wild animals. There are some wild animals like pandas, golden monkeys, and takins (扭角羚) in the area, along with first-grade state protection animals such as Zhuhuan. Among them, pandas, golden monkeys, takins, and Zhuhuan are also known as the “Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains”. The best time to visit the Qinling Mountains is from May to October. In May, the weather is warm, and there are lots of flowers. From June to September, the mountains are cool, which is suitable for summer vacations, playing with water, and so on. Around October 15th, the leaves in the Qinling Mountains are red, which is very beautiful. At the same time, the rainy season is over, and the temperature is just right for a visit. 1．The second paragraph mainly tells us the ________ of the Qinling Mountains. A．soil and water B．history and culture C．climate and wildlife D．tourism and lifestyle 2．The “Four Treasures of the Qinling Mountains” refer to four kinds of ________. A．books B．plants C．animals D．stones 3．When is the best time to see red leaves in the Qinling Mountains? A．The beginning of May. B．Early June. C．The middle of October. D．Late September. 4．What’s the structure (结构) of the text? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, ...) A．B． C． D． Passage 11 （2026·辽宁本溪·二模）Located (坐落于) in the Tianshan Mountains of Xinjiang, the Apricot Blossom Valley (杏花谷) is one of China’s least known but most beautiful natural wonders. Unlike famous places of interest crowded with visitors, this quiet valley remains a hidden wonderland, especially during the early days of April. Every spring, the valley puts on a breathtaking show. Thousands of wild apricot trees grow naturally on the sloping (倾斜的) hillsides. When the flowers come out, the whole mountain turns into a sea of pink and white. Against the background of the white snow and the deep green grassland, the view creates a colorful picture that looks just like a traditional Chinese painting. What makes this place special is its peaceful environment. There are no loud noises, only the sound of the wind and the view of farm animals eating grass under the trees. Local Kazakh people have lived here for generations (几代人), treating the land with great respect. Their simple lifestyle matches perfectly with the natural beauty around them. This valley is not just a feast (盛宴) for the eyes. It is also a place to calm the mind. Walking along the small paths (小路), visitors can enjoy the fresh smell of flowers and feel completely relaxed. Since it is still a relatively unknown place, you won’t find huge crowds here. Instead, you might see local farmers riding horses or sheep walking slowly across the grass. The soft pink flowers, the white snow, and the blue sky seem to join together into a perfect postcard. The Apricot Blossom Valley reminds us that some of the best things in nature are quiet and simple. It is a valuable part of China’s natural treasure that deserves (应得) more attention and protection. 1．What is special about the Apricot Blossom Valley compared with other famous places? A．It is crowded with tourists in April. B．It is located in the south of China. C．It remains a quiet and hidden wonderland. D．It is famous for its man-made paintings. 2．What does the underlined word “Their” refer to in the third paragraph? A．The tourists’. B．The local Kazakh people’s. C．The wild animals’.

B．To explain how to ride a horse on the grassland. C．To prove that farming is difficult in the valley. D．To suggest that animals are the main attraction (有吸引力的事物). 4．How does the writer develop the last paragraph of the passage? A．By giving examples of other valleys. B．By asking readers a question. C．By telling a story about the valley. D．By giving the main idea and a suggestion. Passage 12 （2026·辽宁锦州·二模）A man in China who lost his arms is now able to play computer games just by thinking! Thanks to a special brain-computer device (设备) made by a company named StairMed, it lets people control things with their thoughts. The man had the device put into his head at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai. The doctors placed two super small electrodes (电极) into his brain. These electrodes sent signals (信号) from his brain to a small chip (芯片) in his head. The chip then sent those signals to a computer—all without using hands! StairMed’s brain chip is small and thin. Doctors only had to make a super small hole in the man’s head to put it in. The device fits so well inside that you can’t even see it from the outside. After only a few weeks of practice, the man could play chess and racing games just by thinking. He said, “It feels like my thoughts turn into actions!” This is a big moment for science in China. It was the first time that this kind of brain-computer device was tested in a real person there. Only one other company in the world has done this before! In the future, this device will help people move robot arms and even control smart robots. The company wants to test it with more people by 2026 and hopes to put it into use by 2028. It’s an exciting step towards making life better with new technology! 1．How does the writer show the use of brain-computer device at the beginning? A．By listing numbers. B．By asking questions. C．By comparing facts. D．By giving an example. 2．Which of the following is the correct order for testing the device? ① The chip sends signals to the computer.    ② Electrodes get signals from the brain. ③ People think and produce brain signals.    ④ Electrodes send signals to the chip.

A．The History of Brain Chips B．How to Play Computer Games C．Brain Device Turns Thoughts into Actions D．A Great Chinese Company StairMed Passage 13 （2026·辽宁盘锦·二模）In January 2025, large wildfires swept through Los Angeles. They took many lives and destroyed thousands of homes. As pictures of the fires spread online, people noticed something strange: some trees were still standing next to burnt-out homes and cars. Some didn’t believe that a fire would leave trees untouched. “Is there a secret attack (袭击) on L.A．homes?” they asked. The truth is simpler. Trees can and do catch fire. But it’s also true that some did not burn. Scientists say there is a good reason for that. It all comes down to water. “It’s pretty easy to understand,” said Miranda Hart, a biology professor. “Trees are filled with thousands of liters of water.” Of course, trees do burn when fires are big and hot enough. But if a tree full of water stands next to something very dry, the dry thing will burn first. The fire may even go around the tree if there is enough dry material on both sides. The type of tree also matters. Some trees catch fire more easily than others. Deciduous (每年落叶的) trees—the kind that lose their leaves every year—are less likely to burn. That’s because their leaves hold more water and they have less resin (树脂), a sticky substance (黏性物质) that burns easily. In comparison, conifers (针叶树) like junipers (刺柏) catch fire much more easily. In Los Angeles, palm trees (棕榈树) are everywhere. They have become a symbol of the city. However, some local fire departments warn against planting too many palms. Without proper care, these trees can become like giant torches (火炬) during wildfires and cause great harm to people and buildings nearby. 1．What strange thing did people notice in the photos? A．Homes were burnt down. B．Many people lost their lives. C．Some trees were still standing. D．The fires spread very fast. 2．According to the passage, which kind of trees catch fire less easily? A．Conifers like junipers. B．Palm trees without proper care. C．Deciduous trees with wet leaves. D．Trees filled with more resin. 3．Which of the following are the reasons why some trees don’t burn easily? ① They are filled with water.    ② They grow very fast. ③ They are the right kind of trees.    ④ They are taken good care of. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain why some trees survived the fires. B．To warn people not to plant trees near homes. C．To show how terrible the fires were. D．To teach how to protect trees from fires. Passage 14 （2026·辽宁盘锦·二模）If you put two bottles of water—one hot and the other cold in a fridge, which will freeze quicker? The cold water, right? But in fact, the hot water most probably freezes first. Strange, isn’t it? Scientists call it the Mpemba effect. Once Erasto Mpemba, a school boy, was making ice cream in a cooking class. He was surprised to find that a heated mix froze more quickly than a cold one. He wondered why this happened. When Osborne, a university scientist, came to the school, he asked him about it. Osborne took it seriously. He suggested that they work together to find out why. They tested many times by using water with temperatures from 25℃ to 90℃, and found that the higher the water temperature was, the less time it took the water to freeze. It means water at 25℃ takes the longest time to freeze and water at 90℃ takes the shortest. What causes this effect? Some scientists think that the gas leaves water as water heats up, which makes it freeze quicker. Other scientists think differently. They say water in a bottle keeps moving, with hot water rising and cold water going down. This convection is stronger in the hotter bottle, which makes hot water lose heat faster than cold water. Last winter, the Mpemba effect became popular online. Many people went to parks and threw hot water into the freezing air. The hot water would turn to ice at once, allowing people to enjoy the beautiful ice mist (薄雾) in the air. People took videos of this process and put them on the Internet. 1．What is the Mpemba effect?

B．It calls on teenagers to have a try in winter. C．It offers a solution to Mpemba’s question at school. D．It provides an example of the Mpemba effect in real life. Passage 15 （2026·辽宁营口·二模）On a quiet street in old Shanghai, a candy shop window once shone with rows of golden sweets. Their soft shine and sweet pear smell caught people’s attention from far away. These were pear-syrup candies (梨膏糖) , small snacks that carried both sweetness and health benefits, and their gentle taste is still loved today. Pear-syrup candy was first made more than a thousand years ago in China. Long before it became a snack, it was a traditional medicine believed to stop coughs and comfort the throat. Its recipe (食谱) was simple but magical: pear juice, honey, and a mix of herbs (草药) . The story began in the Tang Dynasty. An official named Wei Zheng was known for his deep love and care for his mother. One day, his mother caught a bad cough, and he worried about her. Doctors offered medicine, but it tasted so terrible that she refused to take it. So Wei Zheng tried something new. He mixed sweet pear syrup with herbs, and heated the mixture carefully over the fire until it became thick and smooth. When his mother tasted it, her eyes lit up—it was sweet! She loved the taste and quickly got better. Word spread quickly. People everywhere began making this “sweet medicine” for their families. By the Song Dynasty, pear-syrup candy had become popular. Later, many skilled candy makers moved south and lived in Hangzhou. From there, the candy soon spread to nearby cities. In 1855, the first pear-syrup candy shop, Zhupinzhai, opened in Shanghai. Two others soon followed, and together they made the candy famous across China. Later, they started the Shanghai Pear-Syrup Candy Factory, which still produces the classic snack today. Today, doctors no longer use pear-syrup candy as medicine, but it still stands for care and love in China. Its making process is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) . 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2? A．The snack. B．The recipe. C．The medicine. D．Pear-syrup candy. 2．How does the writer organise Paragraph 3? A．By giving reasons.B．By telling a story.C．By listing numbers. D．By showing opinions. 3．According to the passage, you can learn ________. A．pear-syrup candy was first made less than 1000 years ago. B．pear-syrup candy is still used as medicine by doctors today. C．the first pear-syrup candy shop opened in Shanghai in 1855. D．Wei Zheng made the candy for his mother in the Song Dynasty. 4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To ask people to eat more pear-syrup candy. B．To teach people how to make pear-syrup candy. C．To advise people to visit old Shanghai’s candy shops. D．To introduce the history and value of pear-syrup candy. Passage 1 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模） Recently, China has started a national “AI+Education” plan. It is made by five central authorities (当局，部门), including the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Data Administration (行政，管理). The plan tries to widely use AI in education and build a complete national AI education system by 2030. In Liaoning Province, the plan has been warmly welcomed, and cities like Shenyang and Dalian are taking the lead in carrying out pilot projects (试点项目). The plan gives first importance to using AI in all kinds of schools. In primary and middle schools, special AI classes will be widely offered. For example, several schools in Shenyang have already started AI after-school clubs. AI learning will also be provided in after-school activities and practice to improve students’ digital skills and creative problem-solving abilities. In colleges and universities, AI will be a necessary basic course for all students. Liaoning’s key universities, such as Northeastern University and Dalian University of Technology, are actively developing AI courses. At the same time, schools will change their majors to meet the needs of new industries. Vocational (职业的) schools will mainly improve their old courses to train skillful workers for smart industries. AI technology will be widely used to help teaching, school management and study. It can grade homework intelligently, give personal teaching, analyze classroom activities, and make school management more efficient (高效的). The ability to use AI will be included in teachers’ qualification and training, so that teachers can get used to the development of digital technology. By 2025, China has more than 6,000 AI companies, and the value of AI industry is over 1.2 trillion yuan. Liaoning is also home to many AI companies, with Shenyang’s Hunnan District becoming an AI industry center. But there are still problems: not enough AI talents and different development in different areas. The gap between cities like Shenyang and some less developed areas in Liaoning still needs to be narrowed. This national plan hopes to train talented people with different skills, make education more balanced, and strengthen China’s digital economy and technology-led development. 1．What can we learn about AI’s application in teaching and management? A．It has completely replaced teachers in classroom teaching. B．It focuses only on evaluating students’ academic performance. C．It helps improve teaching quality and administrative efficiency. D．It is mainly used to collect personal data of students and teachers. 2．What does the author think is the problem to the “AI+Education” development? A．The lack of support from central authorities. B．The low market value of the AI core industry. C．Too many AI companies in the country. D．The talent shortage and unbalanced regional development. 3．Why does the author mention the five important government departments in the first paragraph? A．To show the wide influence of high-tech industries. B．To stress the official importance of the action plan. C．To explain the rapid development of AI technology. D．To introduce different functions of government departments. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．China’s “AI+Education” Action Plan and the related content. B．The rapid growth of China’s artificial intelligence industry. C．Ways to improve teaching quality through digital technologies. D．Challenges in the reform of vocational education in China. Passage 2 （2026·辽宁鞍山·二模） CRISPR is a gene—editing (基因编辑) technology that greatly influences the world. Gene—editing means replacing (代替) a part of the DNA with a specially designed CRISPR molecule (分子). Application (应用) of CRISPR CRISPR is already widely used for research. In fact, some people might have the chance to try CRISPR food as early as 2026. Genius, a UK company, has edited the genes of hundreds of pigs to make the pigs safe from a virus (病毒). After their genes are edited, young pigs will grow stronger and faster, and it will be less possible for them to get diseases like pneumonia (肺炎). Besides, researchers at North Carolina State University, US, found that CRISPR—edited trees can greatly reduce the use of energy and water in the process of paper making. Advantages and opportunities (机会) CRISPR is cheap and easy compared to other ways to edit genomes (基因组). There were similar ways before the technology, but they often took years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the future, CRISPR technology might change the medicine industry and prevent many diseases for human beings. The world’s first CRISPR treatment for sickle cell disease (镰状细胞病) is just the start; soon, this gene editing tool could be used to treat a lot of diseases, such as cancer, reported New Scientist. Disadvantages and problems CRISPR technology can cause safety problems. For example, if CRISPR targets (把……当作目标) a wrong part within the DNA, edits could cause disease. Many countries are now considering how to control these technologies to keep them safe for use. There are also voices of ethical (伦理的) problems when it comes to the editing of human DNA．For example, the US Government Accountability Office raised the following questions: to what extent (程度) should this technology affect future generations (一代代)? Should research on human embryos (胚胎) be allowed? 1．How does the writer tell us CRISPR greatly influences the world? A．By showing clues (线索). B．By listing numbers. C．By telling stories. D．By giving examples. 2．What fact does the passage lead you to believe? A．Now scientists have found ways to control these technologies to keep them safe for use. B．CRISPR is better than other ways because it takes less time and less money. C．CRISPR-edited pigs are too strong to get diseases. D．The writer thinks research on human embryos shouldn’t be allowed. 3．What can we infer about CRISPR technology from the passage? A．It has completely solved the world’s energy crisis (危机). B．The UK company Genius has no plans to edit more animals. C．It may make a big difference to the future of medical treatment. D．All countries in the world have strict laws to ban CRISPR. 4．Why do many countries consider controlling CRISPR technology? A．Because it may cause safety problems and ethical issues. B．Because it is too cheap and easy to use for researchers. C．Because it has changed the medicine industry successfully. D．Because it has edited the genes of trees and pigs. Passage 3 （2026·辽宁盘锦·二模）A new social media trend (潮流)—known as “Becoming Chinese”—is drawing the attention of TikTok users around the world. This cultural exchange has led to a wave of people trying out many kinds of Chinese lifestyles online. These lifestyles often include everyday Chinese self-care habits, such as drinking warm water instead of cold drinks; wearing slippers (拖鞋) indoors instead of walking barefoot (光脚); eating cooked vegetables rather than raw (生的) salad greens; and practicing baduanjin—a slow exercise loved by older people. The reasons lie in the call for a healthier life for young people and the rising charm (魅力) of China on the global stage. The Global Times noted that the wisdom (智慧) behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with today’s “burnout (倦怠) society”. For example, Chinese culture values living in peace with nature and keeping a balance (平衡) between yin and yang. “Becoming Chinese” trend shows that in a fast-changing world, Chinese lifestyles can bring order, inclusiveness (包容) and calm inside. As Western societies struggle (挣扎) with uncertainty (不确定性), people want to look for new ways of living outside their own countries. “Many young people abroad hold a favorable (赞许的) view of China,” said CCTV. This shows China’s growing soft power. It means foreigners are changing their minds, from viewing Chinese culture from afar (遥远地) to taking part in it. This trend is a “grassroots, peer-to-peer cultural exchange”, Qu Qiang, an expert at Minzu University of China, told China Daily. “Foreign netizens take up small, daily habits that we Chinese people don’t even see as ‘culture’.” US tech magazine Wired saw this trend as part of a bigger story. Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for decades, from Chinese phones and open-source AI models to cultural icons like Labubu. The trend is a natural result of this influence. 1．Why are young people abroad trying out Chinese lifestyles? A．To become famous on social media. B．To live a healthier life. C．To prepare for travel to China. D．To look for new ways of living outside. 2．Which idea in Chinese culture can help people deal with the “burnout society”? A．Ignoring the uncertainty in life. B．The idea of daily habits. C．The focus on community spirit. D．The search for peace and balance. 3．What does the “Becoming Chinese” trend show, according to CCTV? A．China’s strong economic power. B．China’s growing soft power. C．The results of cultural exchange. D．The power of social media. 4．What does the “bigger story” mean in the last paragraph? A．China’s influence is growing in the world. B．China is a technological powerhouse. C．China is becoming richer and richer. D．China’s values are shaping the world. Passage 4 （2026·辽宁盘锦·二模）Zhu Xi, a famous Chinese educator in ancient times, created the “step-by-step” learning method (方法). This method encourages learners to study step by step, starting with simple topics and then moving to more difficult ones. Zhu believed that fully learning one topic before moving to the next was key to success. For example, in math, students should first learn basic arithmetic (基本算术) before studying formulas. This method has clear advantages (优点). First, it helps build a strong base of knowledge. By paying attention to basic knowledge, learners can understand and accept new knowledge faster and better. Second, it teaches learners to be patient as they learn. Slow learning trains students to stay focused (专心的) and not to rush. However, the method also has disadvantages. Some learners might find it too slow, especially those who want to make faster progress. Also, strictly following a fixed learning order can sometimes make learners less creative. Zhu’s learning method works well in subjects where ideas build on each other, like math, language, and science. For example, in language learning, understanding grammar rules before reading long texts is necessary. However, teachers and students should change the learning method properly to meet their needs. If a student feels ready to move faster, he can do so. As Zhu Xi stressed, leaning should be like climbing a mountain-step by step, but with flexibility (灵活性). By mixing knowledge, practice, and a clear plan, Zhu’s learning method remains useful today. It reminds us that success often comes from continuous learning and practice. 1．What’s the key to success according to Zhu Xi? A．Learning as fast as possible. B．Focusing on difficult learning materials. C．Mastering one topic completely then move to the next. D．Learning basic arithmetic before studying formulas. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A．The advantage of Zhu Xi’s method. B．The successful learner. C．The importance of basic knowledge. D．The “step-by-step” learning method. 3．Which of the following is a disadvantage of Zhu’s learning method? A．It teaches learners to be patient. B．Some learners may find it too slow. C．Learners can be more creative. D．It makes learners understand new knowledge faster. 4．“Step-by-step” learning method works well in ________ according to the text. ①history ②math ③English ④science A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ Passage 5 （2026·辽宁朝阳·二模）Human actions are affecting the environment. We will lose more of the natural world if we don’t try to change things. Though it is difficult, we can make a difference. Each small change is important, and luckily more individuals (个人) and organizations are working on conservation (保护) projects. Samson, an African fisherman, has become a voice of the ocean. He and the other fishermen realized they were catching fewer and fewer fish. They were overfishing. Working with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Samson learned they had to fish with more care. He realized they shouldn’t catch so many young fish because if there are too few of them, there won’t be enough adult fish to reproduce. He believes protecting the ocean is everybody’s job. As he says, “Take your responsibilities and never think that you are alone.” In Florida, the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) noticed there were always plenty of single-use plastic items, like bottles and drinking straws (吸管), on the beaches. These items can hurt the ocean wildlife terribly. Straws are especially dangerous for turtles because they can get stuck in turtles’ noses and hurt them badly. So, STC started the project “Where are the straws?” asking local restaurants to stop giving customers straws with their drinks. Now, many restaurants will only give straws if customers ask for them, and they only give out paper straws. Those are just two examples of the many conservation efforts around the world today. They both show us that change is possible and that it can start with small actions. We are part of the problem. It’s time to be part of the solution. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Young fish. B．Oceans. C．Fishermen. D．Adult fish 2．What would happen through STC’s efforts? A．More and more tourists would relax on the beaches. B．There would be fewer plastic straws on the beaches. C．Customers would buy more drinks from restaurants. D．The animals would be in danger. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A．①/②③④ B．①②/③④ C．①②③/④ D．①/②③/④ 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To call on people to protect the natural world. B．To tell people how to use plastic safely. C．To show why we need to help fishermen. D．To make people stop buying drinks. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解20篇（说明文）（辽宁专用） Passage 1 1.B 2.C 3.D 4.B Passage 2 1.D 2.A 3.D 4.C Passage 3 1.C 2.A 3.C 4.B Passage 4 1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D Passage 5 1.C 2.C 3.D 4.A Passage 6 1.A 2.A 3.B 4.C Passage 7 1.D 2.C 3.B 4.C Passage 8 1.D 2.B 3.B 4.C Passage 9 1.B 2.B 3.B 4.D Passage 10 1.B 2.C 3.C 4.B Passage 11 1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D Passage 12 1.D 2.A 3.B 4.C Passage 13 1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A Passage 14 1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D Passage 15 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.D Passage 1 1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A Passage 2 1.D 2.B 3.C 4.A Passage 3 1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A Passage 4 1.C 2.D 3.B 4.C Passage 5 1.A 2.B 3.D 4.A / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 阅读理解20篇（说明文）（辽宁专用） Passage 1 （2026·辽宁鞍山·二模）①When I feel bored or need to relax, I love visiting a park. Parks feel like magical places that bring me calm and peace. They are perfect for a short break whenever I feel bored. ②Pocket parks are small green spaces that can be found in many places. They are often between buildings, on street corners, or even on rooftops (屋顶). One best part is how these parks are close enough for people to just walk there, making them easy to visit. Even though pocket parks are small, they are beautifully designed with different kinds of plants. In these lovely spaces, you can take a walk, have a picnic with friends, or practice gentle activities like Tai Chi or yoga. Pocket parks also have play areas for children, making them great for families to spend time together. ③What makes pocket parks special is their ability to bring people together. They are places where neighbors can meet, chat, and get to know each other. Even a simple smile or a friendly nod can make someone’s day better. The warm and welcoming atmosphere (氛围) helps people feel connected and at home in their neighborhoods. ④Pocket parks also help make cities more sustainable—they provide cleaner air, peaceful spaces, and keep the environment healthy for the future. They will make city life better in the long term. Many cities in China are now working to create more pocket parks. For example, according to government reports, Shenyang has over 3,000 pocket parks, making it the city with the most pocket parks in China. ⑤Pocket parks in these cities show us that small things matter.

The main goal of Beinao-1 is to help people with disabilities. Some patients cannot move their arms or legs after accidents or illnesses. With Beinao-1, their thoughts can be turned into orders for machines. A 29-year-old patient, who was paralyzed (瘫痪的) for six years, could stand and walk with helpers after using Beinao-1 for five months. Beinao-1 is an important innovation that Chinese scientists have made after years of hard work. It is the first brain-computer interface (接口) (BCI) in the world that uses a soft electrode sheet (电极贴片). Unlike old BCI technologies which may hurt the brain, Beinao-1 is safe and comfortable for long-term use. This new tech uses a thin and soft electrode sheet that fits the brain well. When the sheet is put on the brain’s surface (表面), it receives signals (信号) and sends them out. There’s also a small wireless device (设备) that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine. With this “translator”, the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain and act. For example, if a disabled person thinks “I want to drink water”, a robotic arm can pick up a cup, fill it with water, lift it carefully to the person’s mouth, and finally put it back. In this way, Beinao-1 helps disabled people control things by thoughts. Beinao-1 is a symbol of China’s progress in high technology. It brings new hope to patients and shows China’s powerful tech development. 1．To better support the main idea of Paragraph 2, the writer ______. A．tells a story B．asks a question C．uses a saying D．gives an example 2．The underlined word “innovation” in the text probably means ______. A．Invention B．Conversation C．Description D．Decision 3．How does Beinao-1 help a disabled person control a robotic arm? A．By reading the person’s spoken words. B．By moving the person’s own arm directly. C．By using a wireless device held by the person. D．By translating the person’s thoughts into instructions. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To get more supports from foreigners. B．To share the daily life of disabled people. C．To introduce a new Chinese BCI technology. D．To explain the risks of using the smart machine. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国新技术“北脑一号”的首场公开直播手术。该技术通过柔性电极贴片读取大脑信号，帮助瘫痪患者用思维控制机器，是中国在脑机接口领域的重要创新。 1． 第二段主要说明“The main goal of Beinao-1 is to help people with disabilities”，随后作者描述了一位29岁瘫痪患者在使用北脑一号五个月后能够站立和行走的事例。第二段指出“A 29-year-old patient, who was paralyzed for six years, could stand and walk with helpers after using Beinao-1 for five months”，这是通过“giving an example”来支持该段主旨。 2． 第三段指出“Beinao-1 is an important innovation that Chinese scientists have made after years of hard work”，下文描述“It is the first brain-computer interface (BCI) in the world that uses a soft electrode sheet”，说明这是一项前所未有的新创造。下文又提到“Unlike old BCI technologies”，进一步强调其新颖性，因此“innovation”意为“invention”“发明”。 3．第三段详细说明了北脑一号的工作机制：“a small wireless device that can receive and translate the signals for a smart machine”以及“With this ‘translator’, the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain and act”，随后举出喝水的例子。因此，北脑一号通过“translating the person’s thoughts into instructions”来帮助残疾人控制机械臂。第三段明确指出“the machine can understand the thoughts from the brain”，而非通过 spoken words、moving the person’s own arm 或 held device。 4．全文第一段介绍北脑一号公开手术引发关注，第二段说明其帮助残疾人的目标及实例，第三段详细解释其技术原理和创新点，第四段总结其象征意义。全文围绕“To introduce a new Chinese BCI technology”展开。 Passage 3 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模）Losing weight is a common wish for many people. While diet plays an important role, exercise is even more necessary to reach your goal of weight loss (减肥). Many people think exercise only helps by burning calories (卡路里) during the activity itself, but its effects go much deeper. When you do sports — whether lifting weights at the gym, swimming in a pool, or even taking the stairs, you’re not just using energy in the moment. Your metabolism (新陈代谢) will rise clearly. This means your body can keep burning calories faster than usual for hours after you finish exercising, and sometimes it can last up to 12 hours. Over weeks and months, it helps you lose weight without strict diets or tiring exercise plans. Another key point is how exercise changes your body’s makeup. It builds muscle (肌肉)，which is more active than fat. Even when you’re sitting or sleeping, muscle burns more calories than fat does. So, as you build muscle through regular exercise, your body becomes a more efficient (高效的) calorie-burning machine, which makes it easier to keep the weight off. Exercise also helps you lose fat by changing brain chemicals (化学物质), which can cut down your wish for unhealthy snacks and increase interest in healthy foods. These chemicals help you develop a better eating habit. Then they work with exercise to create a cycle where better eating habits and regular physical activities burn fat together. As a result, exercise makes fat loss much easier and more lasting. 1．How does the body burn calories after exercise? A．It returns to normal level right away. B．It burns fewer calories than it used to. C．It keeps burning more calories for hours. D．It burns calories at the same speed as usual. 2．Why does building muscle help keep weight off? A．Muscle burns more calories than fat does. B．Muscle makes the body look slimmer fast. C．Muscle reduces the need for daily exercise. D．Muscle stores energy to stop overeating. 3．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______. A．Unhealthy snacks. B．Healthy foods. C．Brain chemicals. D．Physical activities. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．When calories burn in our bodies B．Why exercise works for weight loss C．Which habit shapes a healthy lifestyle D．How diet helps lose weight easily 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了运动在减肥中的多重作用：它不仅能在运动中消耗热量，还能通过提高新陈代谢、增加肌肉量和调节大脑化学物质，实现持续燃脂并养成健康饮食习惯，解释了运动为何是减肥的关键。    1．根据文章第二段中“This means your body can keep burning calories faster than usual for hours after you finish exercising”（这意味着运动结束后数小时内，你的身体会继续比平时更快地燃烧卡路里）可知，运动后身体会在数小时内持续燃烧更多热量。 2．根据文章第三段中“Even when you’re sitting or sleeping, muscle burns more calories than fat does”（即使当你坐着或睡觉时，肌肉燃烧的卡路里也比脂肪多）可知，增加肌肉有助于保持体重是因为肌肉比脂肪燃烧更多热量。 3．根据第四段前文“Exercise also helps you lose fat by changing brain chemicals... These chemicals help you develop a better eating habit.”（运动通过改变大脑化学物质帮助减脂……这些化学物质帮助你养成更好的饮食习惯）可知，随后的“they”指代的是前句主语“These chemicals”，即大脑化学物质。 4．通读全文可知，文章第一段提出运动对减肥至关重要，随后三段分别从提高新陈代谢、增加肌肉燃烧热量、改变大脑化学物质改善饮食习惯三个方面解释了运动如何帮助减肥。因此，“为什么运动有助于减肥”是最佳标题。 Passage 4 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模）Trees may seem quiet and still, but they have their own “senses” to survive in nature. Just like humans, they can feel, respond to and even “communicate” with the world around them. These special abilities help trees live for many years, even in difficult environments. Unlike humans, trees don’t have eyes, ears or hands, but their “senses” are enough to keep them safe and healthy. Trees have a strong sense of touch. When a caterpillar (毛毛虫) eats their leaves, they can feel the small bites and release a special smell to drive the caterpillar away. Sometimes, this smell can also attract other insects that eat caterpillars, helping trees get more protection. They can also sense changes in water. If there is little water in the soil, their roots will grow deeper to find more water, and their leaves will close a little to save water. Besides touch, trees can “hear” and “smell”. Some trees can sense the sound of wind and adjust their branches to avoid being broken. They can also smell harmful chemicals in the air and protect themselves by closing their leaf pores (气孔). When one tree is in danger, it sends out a chemical signal to warn other trees nearby, so they can get ready to protect themselves. In fact, trees are more amazing than we think. Their “senses” are not the same as ours, but they are very useful for their survival. By understanding tree senses, we can learn to protect them better and live in harmony with nature. Trees are important parts of our world, and their special abilities make our planet more beautiful. 1．What will trees do when a caterpillar eats their leaves? A．They will release a special smell. B．They will stop growing. C．They will break their leaves together. D．They will change their color. 2．How do trees find more water when there is little water in the soil? A．Their leaves will become smaller. B．Their roots will grow deeper. C．Their branches will grow longer. D．They will release a signal. 3．What is the author’s attitude towards trees? A．Worried and sad.

Xiajiang Village in Zhejiang Province is a good example. It has turned from a quiet and poor place into a modern and lively one, especially in housing and travelling. In the past, villagers in Xiajiang Village lived in old houses made of wood and mud (泥). The walls were thin, so the houses were cold in winter and hot in summer. There were no clean toilets, and people had to carry water from a river far away every day. Life was hard and inconvenient. Now, with government support and more money from the growing economy, these old houses are gone. New houses stand in rows in Xiajiang Village, with bright rooms and clean yards. They use clean energy for lighting and heating, which helps reduce pollution. Villagers in Xiajiang Village now live comfortably and safely. Travelling in Xiajiang Village has improved greatly too. Years ago, the village only had narrow dirt roads. When it rained, the roads became dirty. Villagers walked or rode bikes to the town, which took several hours. Selling produce was difficult because of bad roads. Today, wide new roads connect Xiajiang Village to the city. Buses run four times a day, and many families in the village have their own cars. More tourists come to visit Xiajiang Village and local farmers can sell their fruit and vegetables to big cities quickly. New ways of travelling bring more jobs and money to Xiajiang Village. These changes in Xiajiang Village take place because of rural revitalization. It gives the village support and money.

It was one of the most serious earthquakes in the 20th century. Most buildings fell down and lots of people lost their lives. This was the Tangshan Earthquake — a disaster that reminds us of the importance of earthquake safety. Earthquakes happen when the Earth’s plates move suddenly and we cannot stop them. For this reason, learning safety rules to reduce harm is necessary. By mastering these safety methods, we can better protect ourselves and our families when nature shows its power. If you are indoors when an earthquake starts, stay calm first. Do not run outside in a hurry. Find a safe place quickly, such as under a strong table or desk. Stay away from windows, glass, and heavy furniture (家具) that may fall. Protect your head and neck with your arms. If you are in bed, stay there and cover your head with a pillow (枕头). If you are outdoors, move to an open area like a playground. Stay away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Do not use lifts during or after an earthquake. Wait until shaking stops before moving to a safer place. Remember, preparation before an earthquake is also necessary. Put heavy things on lower shelves. Keep a bag with water, food, medicine, and a flashlight (手电筒) at home. Make a family plan and know the safe place in each room. Schools and communities should organize earthquake drills to help people practise how to act when real danger comes. 1．What can we know about the Tangshan Earthquake from the text? A．It happened suddenly in the afternoon. B．Most buildings survived the earthquake. C．It is the most serious earthquake in history. D．Many people were killed in the earthquake. 2．Which is a correct way to keep safe in an earthquake? A．Hiding in bed and storing plenty of food. B．Keeping calm and finding a strong house. C．Waiting in a playground till shaking stops. D．Trying to run inside as quickly as possible. 3．What does the underlined word “drills” probably mean in Paragraph 5? A．Effects. B．Exercises. C．Records.

Wait until shaking stops before moving to a safer place.”，在操场等候震动停止是正确的避险做法。 3．文章最后一段提到：“Schools and communities should organize earthquake drills to help people practise how to act when real danger comes.”，结合语境，“drills”在这里指“演习、训练”，与 Exercises（练习、演习）意思最接近。 4．通读全文可知，文章先介绍唐山地震相关事件，再阐释地震无法人为制止的原因，最后依次讲解避险方式与事前准备措施，全文按照介绍事件、说明缘由、讲述应对办法展开，对应What→Why→How的行文结构。 Passage 8 （2026·辽宁鞍山·二模）Do you spend much time on social media? Do you watch short videos? From jokes, role-play to science, short videos have them all. They’re never boring. Some researchers wondered what influence short video apps might have on teens. A research team interviewed 31 teens between the ages of 13 and 18. The team noted that more than 60% of the teens said they often used short video apps. “The main reason is that short video apps always provide teens with content (内容) that they are interested in, and that they can enjoy with their friends,” one researcher said. At the same time, some teens were uncomfortable with the addictive (使人成瘾的) nature of the apps. “When I do use them,” one teenager explained, “I will go on with them for hours at a time without realizing it.” Other teens said that the apps’ videos of many perfect faces and lives could hurt their self-respect. “I see someone’s really nice house, cute dogs, or a happy family. There’s just so much content that I can often compare. It also makes me a little nervous,” said another teenager. So how can teenagers avoid those bad influences? They can control their addictive habits by reducing their screen time and choose a certain time as their “social media time”. They can also put their phones down for a few minutes and enjoy the real world. Take a walk, meet up with friends, and choose to make it a phone-less life. It may be difficult, but teenagers can do it. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic in Paragraph 1? A．By making a survey. B．By telling a story. C．By giving examples. D．By asking questions. 2．What can we learn from the researcher’s words in Paragraph 2? A．Short video apps are easy to use. B．Short video apps help bring teens closer. C．Teenagers can learn a lot from short video apps. D．Short video apps offer rich and meaningful content. 3．Why do short video apps make some teens feel nervous? A．They always get bad news from them. B．They often compare themselves with others. C．They can’t help spending too much time on them. D．They can see some bad words about themselves. 4．What is the last paragraph mainly about? A．The advantages of spending more time with friends. B．The importance of keeping away from short video apps. C．The ways of avoiding bad influences of short video apps. D．The bad influences of spending time on short video apps. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了短视频应用对青少年的双重影响，并给出了避免其不良影响的具体建议。 1．根据第一段“Do you spend much time on social media? Do you watch short videos?”可知，文章开头通过两个问句来引起读者的思考并引出话题。由此可知，作者是通过提问来引入主题的。 2．第二段研究员提到：“and that they can enjoy with their friends”，说明短视频应用能让青少年和朋友一起分享内容，暗示了社交联系，即有助于拉近彼此的距离。 3．第四段指出“There’s just so much content that I can often compare. It also makes me a little nervous”，说明部分青少年感到紧张的原因是他们会频繁将自己与短视频中展示的完美生活进行比较。 4．最后一段以设问句“So how can teenagers avoid those bad influences?”开头，随后具体介绍了控制屏幕时间、放下手机拥抱现实生活等避免短视频不良影响的方法。 Passage 9 （2026·辽宁铁岭·二模） Canada’s cities are growing fast, and this is changing the homes of wild animals. Many animals’ living places are destroyed or split (分裂) into small parts. It becomes hard for animals to move around and live safely. Some wild animals can get used to these changes well, but others have a hard time with them. John Wilmshurst from the Canadian Wildlife Group says city growth brings many problems for wildlife. For example, animals lose their homes, meet roads and fences (栅栏) that stop them from moving, and have more fights with humans. But cities also have lots of food for wild animals. It’s not easy to study the animals hurt by city growth, because they often go away. With GPS tools, scientists can see how some animals are afraid of city buildings and roads. Different animals get used to city life in different ways. Wolves keep away from people and cities, while bobcats live well in cities and even teach their babies living skills. Birds even change the sound of their songs to adapt to the noisy city. People are also trying to live with wildlife. They plant local plants in yards and make rules to protect animals, like keeping cats at home. Good city planning, such as building small roads for animals on big roads, also helps. It’s important for humans and wildlife to live together in peace, and both can learn to get used to the difficulties of growing cities. 1．What is making it hard for wild animals to move around and live safely? A．The increasing number of humans in Canada. B．The fast growth of Canada’s cities. C．The use of GPS tools by scientists. D．The fights between different kinds of animals. 2．Why is it not easy to study the animals hurt by city growth? A．Because these animals are too afraid of humans. B．Because these animals often leave the area. C．Because scientists don’t have enough tools. D．Because these animals are too small to be found. 3．What does the underlined phrase “adapt to” mean in the passage? A．Change. B．Fit. C．Leave. D．Hate. 4．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To show all wild animals can live well in cities. B．To tell us wolves and bobcats are common in cities. C．To ask scientists to study more wild animals in cities. D．To tell us how city growth affects wildlife and how humans live with them. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了加拿大城市的快速发展对野生动物的影响，以及人类为与野生动物和谐共处所做的努力。 1．文章第一段指出“Canada’s cities are growing fast, and this is changing the homes of wild animals. Many animals’ living places are destroyed or split into small parts. It becomes hard for animals to move around and live safely.”，加拿大城市的快速发展破坏、分割了动物的栖息地，让动物难以安全活动和生存。 2．文章第二段指出“It’s not easy to study the animals hurt by city growth, because they often go away.”，研究因城市发展而受影响的动物并不容易，因为这些动物常常会离开该区域。 3．文章第三段指出“Different animals get used to city life in different ways... Birds even change the sound of their songs to adapt to the noisy city.”，鸟儿改变鸣叫声，目的是为了适应嘈杂的城市环境，由此可推断划线短语 “adapt to”意为“适应”，与“fit”含义相近。 4．通读全文可知，文章首先介绍了加拿大城市发展对野生动物造成的影响，接着说明了不同动物对城市生活的适应方式，最后讲述了人类为与野生动物和谐共处所采取的措施。因此本文的写作目的是告诉我们城市发展如何影响野生动物，以及人类如何与它们共处。 Passage 10 （2026·辽宁丹东·二模）The Qinling Mountains are the dividing line between Northern and Southern China, along with the Huai River.

Unlike famous places of interest crowded with visitors, this quiet valley remains a hidden wonderland, especially during the early days of April. Every spring, the valley puts on a breathtaking show. Thousands of wild apricot trees grow naturally on the sloping (倾斜的) hillsides. When the flowers come out, the whole mountain turns into a sea of pink and white. Against the background of the white snow and the deep green grassland, the view creates a colorful picture that looks just like a traditional Chinese painting. What makes this place special is its peaceful environment. There are no loud noises, only the sound of the wind and the view of farm animals eating grass under the trees. Local Kazakh people have lived here for generations (几代人), treating the land with great respect. Their simple lifestyle matches perfectly with the natural beauty around them. This valley is not just a feast (盛宴) for the eyes. It is also a place to calm the mind. Walking along the small paths (小路), visitors can enjoy the fresh smell of flowers and feel completely relaxed. Since it is still a relatively unknown place, you won’t find huge crowds here. Instead, you might see local farmers riding horses or sheep walking slowly across the grass. The soft pink flowers, the white snow, and the blue sky seem to join together into a perfect postcard. The Apricot Blossom Valley reminds us that some of the best things in nature are quiet and simple.

Thanks to a special brain-computer device (设备) made by a company named StairMed, it lets people control things with their thoughts. The man had the device put into his head at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai. The doctors placed two super small electrodes (电极) into his brain. These electrodes sent signals (信号) from his brain to a small chip (芯片) in his head. The chip then sent those signals to a computer—all without using hands! StairMed’s brain chip is small and thin. Doctors only had to make a super small hole in the man’s head to put it in. The device fits so well inside that you can’t even see it from the outside. After only a few weeks of practice, the man could play chess and racing games just by thinking. He said, “It feels like my thoughts turn into actions!” This is a big moment for science in China. It was the first time that this kind of brain-computer device was tested in a real person there. Only one other company in the world has done this before! In the future, this device will help people move robot arms and even control smart robots. The company wants to test it with more people by 2026 and hopes to put it into use by 2028.

They took many lives and destroyed thousands of homes. As pictures of the fires spread online, people noticed something strange: some trees were still standing next to burnt-out homes and cars. Some didn’t believe that a fire would leave trees untouched. “Is there a secret attack (袭击) on L.A．homes?” they asked. The truth is simpler. Trees can and do catch fire. But it’s also true that some did not burn. Scientists say there is a good reason for that. It all comes down to water. “It’s pretty easy to understand,” said Miranda Hart, a biology professor. “Trees are filled with thousands of liters of water.” Of course, trees do burn when fires are big and hot enough. But if a tree full of water stands next to something very dry, the dry thing will burn first. The fire may even go around the tree if there is enough dry material on both sides. The type of tree also matters. Some trees catch fire more easily than others. Deciduous (每年落叶的) trees—the kind that lose their leaves every year—are less likely to burn. That’s because their leaves hold more water and they have less resin (树脂), a sticky substance (黏性物质) that burns easily. In comparison, conifers (针叶树) like junipers (刺柏) catch fire much more easily. In Los Angeles, palm trees (棕榈树) are everywhere. They have become a symbol of the city. However, some local fire departments warn against planting too many palms. Without proper care, these trees can become like giant torches (火炬) during wildfires and cause great harm to people and buildings nearby. 1．What strange thing did people notice in the photos? A．Homes were burnt down. B．Many people lost their lives. C．Some trees were still standing. D．The fires spread very fast. 2．According to the passage, which kind of trees catch fire less easily? A．Conifers like junipers. B．Palm trees without proper care. C．Deciduous trees with wet leaves. D．Trees filled with more resin. 3．Which of the following are the reasons why some trees don’t burn easily? ① They are filled with water.    ② They grow very fast. ③ They are the right kind of trees.    ④ They are taken good care of. A．①② B．①③ C．②④ D．③④ 4．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A．To explain why some trees survived the fires. B．To warn people not to plant trees near homes. C．To show how terrible the fires were.

The cold water, right? But in fact, the hot water most probably freezes first. Strange, isn’t it? Scientists call it the Mpemba effect. Once Erasto Mpemba, a school boy, was making ice cream in a cooking class. He was surprised to find that a heated mix froze more quickly than a cold one. He wondered why this happened. When Osborne, a university scientist, came to the school, he asked him about it. Osborne took it seriously. He suggested that they work together to find out why. They tested many times by using water with temperatures from 25℃ to 90℃, and found that the higher the water temperature was, the less time it took the water to freeze. It means water at 25℃ takes the longest time to freeze and water at 90℃ takes the shortest. What causes this effect? Some scientists think that the gas leaves water as water heats up, which makes it freeze quicker. Other scientists think differently. They say water in a bottle keeps moving, with hot water rising and cold water going down. This convection is stronger in the hotter bottle, which makes hot water lose heat faster than cold water. Last winter, the Mpemba effect became popular online. Many people went to parks and threw hot water into the freezing air. The hot water would turn to ice at once, allowing people to enjoy the beautiful ice mist (薄雾) in the air. People took videos of this process and put them on the Internet. 1．What is the Mpemba effect? A．A study plan. B．A test result. C．A scientific finding. D．A natural guess. 2．Which of the following can show Mpemba and Osborne’s discovery? A．B．C． D． 3．What does the underlined word “convection” mean in Paragraph 3? A．The wind in the fridge. B．The movement of water caused by temperature differences, carrying heat with it. C．The force from the outside. D．The weight of the water bottle. 4．What’s the purpose of writing the last paragraph? A．It leads to the main idea of the whole text. B．It calls on teenagers to have a try in winter. C．It offers a solution to Mpemba’s question at school. D．It provides an example of the Mpemba effect in real life. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文介绍了“姆潘巴效应”的发现过程、科学解释及现实应用，说明了热水比冷水更快结冰的现象。 1．原文描述了姆潘巴发现现象、与科学家奥斯本合作验证的过程，最终得出“水温越高，结冰越快”的结论，这是一项科学发现。 2．原文提到“the higher the water temperature was, the less time it took the water to freeze”，即水温越高，结冰时间越短，因此图表对应A项呈现的“初始温度越高，结冰时间越短”下降趋势。 3．前文提到“water in a bottle keeps moving, with hot water rising and cold water going down”，可知水在瓶中会因温度差而流动，这是热量传递的过程，因此“convection”意为“对流”，即水中的热量传递运动。 4．最后一段描述了人们利用姆潘巴效应，在冬天泼热水制造冰雾的流行现象，是该效应在现实生活中的应用案例。 Passage 15 （2026·辽宁营口·二模）On a quiet street in old Shanghai, a candy shop window once shone with rows of golden sweets. Their soft shine and sweet pear smell caught people’s attention from far away. These were pear-syrup candies (梨膏糖) , small snacks that carried both sweetness and health benefits, and their gentle taste is still loved today. Pear-syrup candy was first made more than a thousand years ago in China. Long before it became a snack, it was a traditional medicine believed to stop coughs and comfort the throat. Its recipe (食谱) was simple but magical: pear juice, honey, and a mix of herbs (草药) . The story began in the Tang Dynasty. An official named Wei Zheng was known for his deep love and care for his mother. One day, his mother caught a bad cough, and he worried about her. Doctors offered medicine, but it tasted so terrible that she refused to take it. So Wei Zheng tried something new. He mixed sweet pear syrup with herbs, and heated the mixture carefully over the fire until it became thick and smooth. When his mother tasted it, her eyes lit up—it was sweet! She loved the taste and quickly got better. Word spread quickly. People everywhere began making this “sweet medicine” for their families. By the Song Dynasty, pear-syrup candy had become popular. Later, many skilled candy makers moved south and lived in Hangzhou. From there, the candy soon spread to nearby cities. In 1855, the first pear-syrup candy shop, Zhupinzhai, opened in Shanghai. Two others soon followed, and together they made the candy famous across China. Later, they started the Shanghai Pear-Syrup Candy Factory, which still produces the classic snack today. Today, doctors no longer use pear-syrup candy as medicine, but it still stands for care and love in China. Its making process is listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) . 1．What does the underlined word “it” refer to (指代) in Paragraph 2? A．The snack. B．The recipe. C．The medicine. D．Pear-syrup candy. 2．How does the writer organise Paragraph 3? A．By giving reasons.B．By telling a story.C．By listing numbers. D．By showing opinions. 3．According to the passage, you can learn ________. A．pear-syrup candy was first made less than 1000 years ago. B．pear-syrup candy is still used as medicine by doctors today. C．the first pear-syrup candy shop opened in Shanghai in 1855. D．Wei Zheng made the candy for his mother in the Song Dynasty. 4．What is the writer’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To ask people to eat more pear-syrup candy. B．To teach people how to make pear-syrup candy. C．To advise people to visit old Shanghai’s candy shops. D．To introduce the history and value of pear-syrup candy. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了梨膏糖的起源、发展历史、制作方法及其作为国家级非物质文化遗产的文化价值。 1．根据第二段首句“Pear-syrup candy was first made…”可知，本句主语是梨膏糖，随后句子“Long before it became a snack…”中，代词it指代前文提到的主语，即梨膏糖 (Pear-syrup candy)。 2．第三段讲述了唐代官员魏征为咳嗽的母亲制作梨膏糖的故事，包含人物、起因、经过和结果，属于通过讲故事(By telling a story) 的方式组织段落。 3．根据第五段“In 1855, the first pear-syrup candy shop, Zhupinzhai, opened in Shanghai.”可知，第一家店于1855年在上海开业，C项正确。A项原文为“more than a thousand years ago”，是“超过1000年”，不是“少于1000年”；B项原文为“doctors no longer use… as medicine”，说明现在医生不再把它当药用；D项原文故事发生在“Tang Dynasty”，不是宋朝。 4．通读全文可知，文章介绍了梨膏糖的起源、历史传说、发展历程以及作为非物质文化遗产的文化价值，旨在介绍其历史和价值，而非推销或教学制作。 Passage 1 （2026·辽宁葫芦岛·二模） Recently, China has started a national “AI+Education” plan. It is made by five central authorities (当局，部门), including the Ministry of Education, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the National Data Administration (行政，管理). The plan tries to widely use AI in education and build a complete national AI education system by 2030. In Liaoning Province, the plan has been warmly welcomed, and cities like Shenyang and Dalian are taking the lead in carrying out pilot projects (试点项目). The plan gives first importance to using AI in all kinds of schools. In primary and middle schools, special AI classes will be widely offered. For example, several schools in Shenyang have already started AI after-school clubs. AI learning will also be provided in after-school activities and practice to improve students’ digital skills and creative problem-solving abilities. In colleges and universities, AI will be a necessary basic course for all students. Liaoning’s key universities, such as Northeastern University and Dalian University of Technology, are actively developing AI courses. At the same time, schools will change their majors to meet the needs of new industries. Vocational (职业的) schools will mainly improve their old courses to train skillful workers for smart industries. AI technology will be widely used to help teaching, school management and study. It can grade homework intelligently, give personal teaching, analyze classroom activities, and make school management more efficient (高效的). The ability to use AI will be included in teachers’ qualification and training, so that teachers can get used to the development of digital technology. By 2025, China has more than 6,000 AI companies, and the value of AI industry is over 1.2 trillion yuan. Liaoning is also home to many AI companies, with Shenyang’s Hunnan District becoming an AI industry center. But there are still problems: not enough AI talents and different development in different areas. The gap between cities like Shenyang and some less developed areas in Liaoning still needs to be narrowed.

Gene—editing means replacing (代替) a part of the DNA with a specially designed CRISPR molecule (分子). Application (应用) of CRISPR CRISPR is already widely used for research. In fact, some people might have the chance to try CRISPR food as early as 2026. Genius, a UK company, has edited the genes of hundreds of pigs to make the pigs safe from a virus (病毒). After their genes are edited, young pigs will grow stronger and faster, and it will be less possible for them to get diseases like pneumonia (肺炎). Besides, researchers at North Carolina State University, US, found that CRISPR—edited trees can greatly reduce the use of energy and water in the process of paper making. Advantages and opportunities (机会) CRISPR is cheap and easy compared to other ways to edit genomes (基因组). There were similar ways before the technology, but they often took years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In the future, CRISPR technology might change the medicine industry and prevent many diseases for human beings. The world’s first CRISPR treatment for sickle cell disease (镰状细胞病) is just the start; soon, this gene editing tool could be used to treat a lot of diseases, such as cancer, reported New Scientist. Disadvantages and problems CRISPR technology can cause safety problems. For example, if CRISPR targets (把……当作目标) a wrong part within the DNA, edits could cause disease. Many countries are now considering how to control these technologies to keep them safe for use. There are also voices of ethical (伦理的) problems when it comes to the editing of human DNA．For example, the US Government Accountability Office raised the following questions: to what extent (程度) should this technology affect future generations (一代代)? Should research on human embryos (胚胎) be allowed? 1．How does the writer tell us CRISPR greatly influences the world? A．By showing clues (线索). B．By listing numbers. C．By telling stories. D．By giving examples. 2．What fact does the passage lead you to believe? A．Now scientists have found ways to control these technologies to keep them safe for use. B．CRISPR is better than other ways because it takes less time and less money. C．CRISPR-edited pigs are too strong to get diseases. D．The writer thinks research on human embryos shouldn’t be allowed. 3．What can we infer about CRISPR technology from the passage? A．It has completely solved the world’s energy crisis (危机). B．The UK company Genius has no plans to edit more animals. C．It may make a big difference to the future of medical treatment. D．All countries in the world have strict laws to ban CRISPR. 4．Why do many countries consider controlling CRISPR technology? A．Because it may cause safety problems and ethical issues. B．Because it is too cheap and easy to use for researchers. C．Because it has changed the medicine industry successfully. D．Because it has edited the genes of trees and pigs. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了CRISPR基因编辑技术的应用、优势与机会以及其存在的问题和伦理争议。 1．在“Application (应用) of CRISPR”部分，作者列举了英国公司编辑猪的基因以及美国北卡罗来纳州立大学研究人员发现编辑基因的树在造纸过程中能减少能源和水使用的例子，来体现CRISPR对世界的影响，所以是通过举例子的方式。 2．文中提到“CRISPR is cheap and easy compared to other ways to edit genomes (基因组). There were similar ways before the technology, but they often took years and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.”，说明与其他编辑基因组的方法相比，CRISPR更便宜且简单，之前类似的方法常花费数年且耗资数十万美元，所以可以得出CRISPR比其他方法更好是因为它花费更少的时间和金钱。 3．根据“Advantages and opportunities (机会)”部分的“In the future, CRISPR technology might change the medicine industry and prevent many diseases for human beings. The world’s first CRISPR treatment for sickle cell disease (镰状细胞病) is just the start; soon, this gene editing tool could be used to treat a lot of diseases, such as cancer, reported New Scientist.”可知，未来CRISPR技术可能会改变医药行业，预防许多人类疾病，它对镰状细胞病的治疗只是个开始，很快能用于治疗很多疾病。 4．末段提到“CRISPR technology can cause safety problems. For example, if CRISPR targets (把……当作目标) a wrong part within the DNA, edits could cause disease. Many countries are now considering how to control these technologies to keep them safe for use. There are also voices of ethical (伦理的) problems when it comes to the editing of human DNA.”说明CRISPR技术可能引发安全问题，如编辑错误部分DNA可能导致疾病，同时编辑人类DNA还存在伦理问题，所以很多国家考虑控制这项技术。 Passage 3 （2026·辽宁盘锦·二模）A new social media trend (潮流)—known as “Becoming Chinese”—is drawing the attention of TikTok users around the world. This cultural exchange has led to a wave of people trying out many kinds of Chinese lifestyles online. These lifestyles often include everyday Chinese self-care habits, such as drinking warm water instead of cold drinks; wearing slippers (拖鞋) indoors instead of walking barefoot (光脚); eating cooked vegetables rather than raw (生的) salad greens; and practicing baduanjin—a slow exercise loved by older people. The reasons lie in the call for a healthier life for young people and the rising charm (魅力) of China on the global stage. The Global Times noted that the wisdom (智慧) behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with today’s “burnout (倦怠) society”. For example, Chinese culture values living in peace with nature and keeping a balance (平衡) between yin and yang. “Becoming Chinese” trend shows that in a fast-changing world, Chinese lifestyles can bring order, inclusiveness (包容) and calm inside. As Western societies struggle (挣扎) with uncertainty (不确定性), people want to look for new ways of living outside their own countries. “Many young people abroad hold a favorable (赞许的) view of China,” said CCTV. This shows China’s growing soft power. It means foreigners are changing their minds, from viewing Chinese culture from afar (遥远地) to taking part in it. This trend is a “grassroots, peer-to-peer cultural exchange”, Qu Qiang, an expert at Minzu University of China, told China Daily. “Foreign netizens take up small, daily habits that we Chinese people don’t even see as ‘culture’.” US tech magazine Wired saw this trend as part of a bigger story. Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for decades, from Chinese phones and open-source AI models to cultural icons like Labubu. The trend is a natural result of this influence. 1．Why are young people abroad trying out Chinese lifestyles? A．To become famous on social media. B．To live a healthier life. C．To prepare for travel to China. D．To look for new ways of living outside. 2．Which idea in Chinese culture can help people deal with the “burnout society”? A．Ignoring the uncertainty in life. B．The idea of daily habits. C．The focus on community spirit. D．The search for peace and balance. 3．What does the “Becoming Chinese” trend show, according to CCTV? A．China’s strong economic power. B．China’s growing soft power. C．The results of cultural exchange. D．The power of social media. 4．What does the “bigger story” mean in the last paragraph? A．China’s influence is growing in the world. B．China is a technological powerhouse. C．China is becoming richer and richer. D．China’s values are shaping the world. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了一种新的社交媒体趋势——被称为“成为中国人”——正在引起世界各地TikTok用户的注意。 1．根据第三段“The reasons lie in the call for a healthier life for young people and the rising charm (魅力) of China on the global stage.”可知，国外年轻人尝试中式生活方式是为了追求更健康的生活。 2．根据第四段“The Global Times noted that the wisdom (智慧) behind Chinese lifestyles helps people deal with today’s “burnout (倦怠) society”. For example, Chinese culture values living in peace with nature and keeping a balance (平衡) between yin and yang.”可知，这种追求平和与平衡的智慧有助于人们应对当今的“倦怠社会”。 3．根据倒数第二段“This shows China’s growing soft power.”可知，这一潮流展示了中国日益增长的软实力。 4．根据最后一段“Chinese technology and products have been important in Western life for decades, from Chinese phones and open-source AI models to cultural icons like Labubu.”可知，“bigger story”指的是中国在科技、产品和文化等方面对世界日益增长的整体影响力。 Passage 4 （2026·辽宁盘锦·二模）Zhu Xi, a famous Chinese educator in ancient times, created the “step-by-step” learning method (方法). This method encourages learners to study step by step, starting with simple topics and then moving to more difficult ones. Zhu believed that fully learning one topic before moving to the next was key to success. For example, in math, students should first learn basic arithmetic (基本算术) before studying formulas. This method has clear advantages (优点). First, it helps build a strong base of knowledge. By paying attention to basic knowledge, learners can understand and accept new knowledge faster and better. Second, it teaches learners to be patient as they learn. Slow learning trains students to stay focused (专心的) and not to rush. However, the method also has disadvantages. Some learners might find it too slow, especially those who want to make faster progress. Also, strictly following a fixed learning order can sometimes make learners less creative. Zhu’s learning method works well in subjects where ideas build on each other, like math, language, and science. For example, in language learning, understanding grammar rules before reading long texts is necessary. However, teachers and students should change the learning method properly to meet their needs. If a student feels ready to move faster, he can do so. As Zhu Xi stressed, leaning should be like climbing a mountain-step by step, but with flexibility (灵活性). By mixing knowledge, practice, and a clear plan, Zhu’s learning method remains useful today. It reminds us that success often comes from continuous learning and practice. 1．What’s the key to success according to Zhu Xi? A．Learning as fast as possible. B．Focusing on difficult learning materials. C．Mastering one topic completely then move to the next. D．Learning basic arithmetic before studying formulas. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to? A．The advantage of Zhu Xi’s method. B．The successful learner. C．The importance of basic knowledge. D．The “step-by-step” learning method. 3．Which of the following is a disadvantage of Zhu’s learning method? A．It teaches learners to be patient. B．Some learners may find it too slow. C．Learners can be more creative. D．It makes learners understand new knowledge faster. 4．“Step-by-step” learning method works well in ________ according to the text. ①history ②math ③English ④science A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②④ 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了古代中国教育家朱熹创立的“循序渐进”学习法，包括该方法的核心内容、优缺点及适用学科等。 1．细节理解题。根据“Zhu believed that fully learning one topic before moving to the next was key to success.”可知，朱熹认为成功的关键是完全掌握一个主题后再学习下一个。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“This method has clear advantages (优点). First, it helps build a strong base of knowledge.”以及后文围绕“循序渐进学习法”展开可知，“it”指代的是该学习法。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“However, the method also has disadvantages. Some learners might find it too slow...”可知，该方法的缺点之一是部分学习者会觉得它进度太慢。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Zhu’s learning method works well in subjects where ideas build on each other, like math, language, and science.”可知，该方法适用于数学、语言（含英语）、科学学科。故选C。 Passage 5 （2026·辽宁朝阳·二模）Human actions are affecting the environment. We will lose more of the natural world if we don’t try to change things. Though it is difficult, we can make a difference. Each small change is important, and luckily more individuals (个人) and organizations are working on conservation (保护) projects. Samson, an African fisherman, has become a voice of the ocean. He and the other fishermen realized they were catching fewer and fewer fish. They were overfishing. Working with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Samson learned they had to fish with more care. He realized they shouldn’t catch so many young fish because if there are too few of them, there won’t be enough adult fish to reproduce. He believes protecting the ocean is everybody’s job. As he says, “Take your responsibilities and never think that you are alone.” In Florida, the Sea Turtle Conservancy (STC) noticed there were always plenty of single-use plastic items, like bottles and drinking straws (吸管), on the beaches. These items can hurt the ocean wildlife terribly. Straws are especially dangerous for turtles because they can get stuck in turtles’ noses and hurt them badly. So, STC started the project “Where are the straws?” asking local restaurants to stop giving customers straws with their drinks. Now, many restaurants will only give straws if customers ask for them, and they only give out paper straws. Those are just two examples of the many conservation efforts around the world today. They both show us that change is possible and that it can start with small actions. We are part of the problem. It’s time to be part of the solution. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Young fish. B．Oceans. C．Fishermen. D．Adult fish 2．What would happen through STC’s efforts? A．More and more tourists would relax on the beaches. B．There would be fewer plastic straws on the beaches. C．Customers would buy more drinks from restaurants. D．The animals would be in danger. 3．Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (P = Paragraph) A．①/②③④ B．①②/③④ C．①②③/④ D．①/②③/④ 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A．To call on people to protect the natural world. B．To tell people how to use plastic safely. C．To show why we need to help fishermen. D．To make people stop buying drinks. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过非洲渔民Samson和海龟保护组织STC的两个例子，说明个人和小型组织的保护行动也能对环境产生积极影响，呼吁人们成为解决方案的一部分。 1．根据第二段画线词所在句“He realized they shouldn't catch so many young fish because if there are too few of them...”可知，前半句提到不应捕捞太多“young fish”（幼鱼），后半句解释原因：如果“them”太少，就没有足够的成鱼繁殖。逻辑上“them”指代前文提到的“young fish”。 2．根据第三段内容，STC发起项目要求餐厅停止主动提供吸管，现在餐厅仅在顾客要求时才提供且只提供纸吸管。这一措施的直接结果是塑料吸管的使用量减少，从而海滩上的塑料吸管也会减少。 3．第一段引出环保话题及观点（总起）；第二段和第三段分别列举渔民Samson和STC的具体环保案例（分述）；第四段总结案例并发出号召（总结）。文章属于“总—分—总”结构，即①/②③/④。 4．文章首段提出人类活动影响环境，需要改变；尾段呼吁“It’s time to be part of the solution”。全文通过案例旨在号召人们行动起来保护自然世界。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
