专题06 任务型阅读 主题01 哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2026·贵州贵阳·二模）When we think of horses, we often imagine them racing across open land and catching everyone’s attention. But horses aren’t just about speed. They also stand for something else: hard work and self-belief. English has many idioms (习语)that point to this “other side” of horses. And it’s no surprise that people born in the Year of the Horse share these traits, too. Idiom 1: Work like a horse To “work like a horse” means to work very hard for a long time without stopping. Picture a farm horse doing heavy work. It can’t run across the field. It just walks step by step, even when it is tired. Tu Youyou is a great example of this. She was the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine. She worked many years to find a medicine for malaria. She failed many times, but she never gave up. That’s what “work like a horse” means. We should keep going until our hard work finally pays off. Idiom 2: Dark horse A “dark horse” is a surprising winner — someone who wins when nobody expects them to. This idiom comes from horse racing: Sometimes, the horse that doesn’t seem excellent at the start wins in the end. But is a “dark horse” win really so sudden? Usually, it only looks sudden because people didn’t see the hard training behind the win. True dark horses have a dream and believe in themselves, even when others underestimate (低估)them. People used to call Yang Yu “Jiaozi” a “dark horse.” The former medical student made history with the Chinese cartoon Ne Zha, which earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office. “If you truly believe in something, give it your all — even if it takes years,” Jiaozi said. “I believe creativity and hard work can turn wildest dreams into reality.” Yes, horses can be fast. But true horsepower is not about being fast but about making slow and planned progress. Work hard and believe in yourself — and one day, you might surprise everyone, including yourself! The True Horsepower Idioms 1 Examples Reflection Work like a horse Someone who 2 until the hard work finally pays off. Tu Youyou ●A scientist ●The first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize. What can you learn from a “horse”? 3 4 Someone who wins when nobody expects them to.

It has developed into a global trend (潮流) called “Becoming Chinese”. From enjoying daily drinks to practicing traditional exercises and arts, these Chinese lifestyles are winning wide popularity around the world. In one popular video, Emma Wilson, a British woman who has worked in China for 3 years, tells her story “In my country, we always drink cold tap water. But after working in China, I fell in love with warm water. Now I even add goji berries and red dates (枸杞和红枣) to my cup. It feels so nice and helps me sleep much better!” Diego Morales, a fitness coach from Chile, shares his experience of practicing baduanjin. “I do this traditional Chinese exercise every morning. It helps me reset (调整) my body and start the day energetically,” he says. Lily Anderson, a young American student, also shares her new hobby “I’ve been learning Chinese calligraphy (书法). Holding the brush and writing Chinese characters make me feel calm and connected to Chinese culture.” Chinese culture values living in peace with nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang. These lifestyles can bring people calm and order in a fast-changing world. This trend means foreigners are changing their minds — they no longer see Chinese culture as something far and mysterious, but take an active part in it. As China Daily reports, a growing number of Chinese products, technologies and lifestyles have influenced the world. The “Becoming Chinese” trend is a natural people-to-people cultural exchange, letting more people around the world feel the beauty of Chinese culture. Live the Chinese way Chinese lifestyles are becoming 1 around the world. Typical 2 A British woman drinks warm water with goji berries and red dates. A fitness coach from Chile practices baduanjin.

You might ask if I have really helped the children learn some social skills. The answer is “yes”. I remember a four-year-old girl in the kindergarten. She used to dislike being touched by others.

As the first bridge across the Huajiang Grand Canyon, it has drawn wide attention around the world. The bridge now has the name of the world’s tallest bridge. The Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is an important part of the Liuzhi-Anlong Expressway. It is 1,420 meters long and has a height of 625 meters above the deep canyon. The bridge has greatly cut the travel time between the two sides of the canyon from two hours to only two minutes. Building the bridge brought very big challenges, such as unexpected strong winds and the poor natural environment. Engineers successfully got over these problems by using many new technological methods. They also put in “smart cables (电缆)” that work like the bridge’s “nervous system”, monitoring the safety of its structure at all times. Beyond its transportation function, the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge is China’s first full “bridge tourism” place. It perfectly combines bridge watching, sports experiences and tourism services.

I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck. I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to find chances. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying, “Tell the researcher you have seen this and win $ 50.” This message took up half of the page and more than two inches (英寸) high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but unlucky people tended to (倾向于) miss it and lucky people tended to notice it. Unlucky people are just more nervous than lucky people. They are busy looking only for what they need and this stops them from noticing the unexpected. As a result, they miss out on chances. Lucky people tend to be more relaxed and open. They can see everything that is in front of them, rather than just what they are looking for. My research shows that lucky people live by several principles (原则). Here are some of the principles: Listen to your gut instincts (直觉)—they are often right. Be open to new experiences and break your normal thought patterns. Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well. See yourself being lucky before an important meeting or phone call. Question Why are some people always lucky while others are always unlucky? Experiment Purpose: To discover why people are different in 1 . Result: Unlucky people miss the message while lucky people notice it. Findings: Unlucky people                 Lucky people ● More nervous.              ● More 2 . ● Only looking for 3 .  ● See everything in front of them. Conclusion Lucky people live by several principles. Listen to your gut instincts. Be open to new experiences. 4 that went well every day. See yourself being lucky before an event.

He used to be a general and officer in the Jin dynasty, a famous calligrapher of the Eastern Jin dynasty. Wang is still known as the calligraphy sage. Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began a systematic (系统的) study of calligraphy under a female calligrapher, Wei Shuo. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from the works of calligraphers. To practice calligraphy, wherever he went, he would try to find out the styles of previous calligraphers and copy them, collecting many calligraphic materials. There were writing brushes, ink sticks and ink stones in his study yard and even outside the toilet. Whenever he thought of a good-structured character, he would write it down right away. Wang wrote with smoothness and grandness. Some people have described his calligraphy as “the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate and the tiger lying in the palace of the phoenix”. Wang was good at many types of calligraphy but the xingshu style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) is the most popular of his works. There is a story behind this work. In 353, Wang invited famous people to get together at a party with 41 guests at the Orchid Pavilion, where they drank. The guests were asked to write poems. The poems were collected and Wang wrote Preface (序言) to the Orchid Pavilion Collection on his own, describing how happy these men are.

The World Happiness Report surveyed 142 countries around the world to find out how common it was for people in a country to share meals and how this influenced their levels of happiness. Here are the findings. The country where people share the most meals is Senegal in Africa. Local people in Senegal eat with others about 12 times per week. That’s almost twice a day. On average, people in Latin America and the Caribbean share about 9 meals with others per week. At the very bottom of the list are Bangladesh and Estonia, where fewer than three meals a week are shared. Even though there are different frequencies (频率) of shared meals around the world, the advantages appear to be the same everywhere. No matter where they live, people who share meals more often with others report much higher levels of life satisfaction. This is true across all ages and cultures. In fact, people who share even only one meal a week are much happier than those who eat all their meals alone. However, in some places, people’s eating habits may be changing. The researchers said that people in East Asian countries are becoming more and more likely to eat by themselves. The reasons for that are thought to be an increase in single-person households (单身户) and aging populations. Anyway, invite a friend or family member to share a meal with you. Your brain and heart will thank you for this delicious “social vitamin”. Eating together & happiness Eating with others can 1 people’s feelings. A related survey Surveyed people: people from 142 countries 2 : to find out the frequency with which people shared meals and how this influenced their happiness levels Findings: People in Senegal have the highest frequency of shared meals: about 12 times a week. People in Latin America and the Caribbean are at an average level of about 9 times a week People in Bangladesh and Estonia have the 3 frequency: fewer than three times a week. People sharing more meals report they are 4 with their life. Change The frequency of eating with others is 5 in East Asian countries because of the increasing single-person households and aging populations.

It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. Since the Warring States Period, the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting showed up. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to finish in a short time. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, fewer people seem to be ready to pass on the art. Only those aging sugar painters carry forward the art. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. MeaningIt 1 art with daily life and shows the spiritual support of the ancient people. DefinitionA painting made of sugar. It can be tasted and 2 .

In the General History of Chinese Clothing, the horse-face skirt is described as follows, “There are folds on both sides: the skirt door and back are with patterns (图案), and there is the skirt waist and lace upon it.” The horse-face skirt first appeared in the Song Dynasty and grew popular during the Ming Dynasty, from the royal (皇家的) family to common people. The horse-face skirt in the Ming Dynasty was simple in color and pattern. However, according to different celebrations, the materials, patterns and colors of horse-face skirts were also different. In the Qing Dynasty, the horse-face skirt gradually changed. The colors became richer and patterns became more and more colorful, especially the outer skirt door. People added many patterns which had good meanings on the outer skirt door, such as flowers, birds and butterflies. The horse-face skirt can give us a taste of the beauty of ancient Chinese clothing. In the eyes of experts and people in the fashion industry, the horse-face skirt is an important symbol of Chinese culture that has influenced western fashion for many years.

Hunger has many different causes, according to Dr. Monique Tello, from Harvard Medical School. The first cause may be a medical problem. “If a person always feels hungry and can’t put on weight or even loses weight, he should go to the hospital. For people with Type I diabetes(糖尿病), their body isn’t able to process sugar. They eat a lot, but still lose weight and they feel terrible.” Tello said. If it isn’t a medical cause, the problems could be in the head. It’s reasonable to be hungry every three to five hours. However, it’s possible for you to eat often and a lot after watching food advertisements on TV or social media(媒体). Also, the more you eat, the larger your stomach gets, and the more you want to eat. A person’s state(状态) of mind can play a role. too. Research has shown that stress can increase levels of hunger hormones(激素) Pressure and worry drive people to look for food in the fridge when they’re no truly hungry. Another reason may be the lifestyle. Sometimes the reason why a person is always hungry is that he eats too little, exercises too much, or both. So, how to solve the problem? There are three ways to solve it. First, reduce(减少) your time on watching food advertisements on TV and social media. In addition, say no to food if you’re not really hungry. Finally, change your diet by eating more food high in fiber(纤维), protein(蛋白质) and healthy fats. Topic: Paying attention to 1 Fact Some people always feel hungry.

Trees take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and keep it in their bodies. Because of this, many people think planting more trees can help cut down the amount of CO₂ in the air. However, scientists say the situation may not be so simple. Trees can keep carbon (碳) only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again. In recent years, scientists have noticed something interesting. Trees in many places around the world are growing faster than before. At the same time, scientists noticed the rising level of CO₂ in the air. Roel Brienen, a forest scientist from the University of Leeds in the UK, explained that higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly. At first, this seems like good news. Faster-growing trees can take in carbon more quickly. But scientists have also found another important fact. Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly. To study this question, Brienen and his team examined more than 210,000 tree-ring records from over 110 tree species in many parts of the world. Their research showed that in most forests, fast-growing trees usually died younger than slow-growing trees. The team also used a computer program to study what might happen in a forest over time. At first, the forest held more carbon because trees were growing quickly. But about twenty years later, many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again. Because of this, scientists believe planting trees alone cannot solve the problem of climate change. We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air. A New Finding About Trees and Climate Change Traditional View Planting trees is a good way to slow climate change. New Finding Trees 1 carbon forever. Faster-growing Trees Trees are growing faster. Higher CO₂ and warmer temperatures may be a 2 . A Problem Discovered Fast-growing trees have a 3 lifespan (寿命) than slow-growing ones.

Most of them are sent to landfills, which causes serious environmental pollution and a huge waste of resources. Many instruments are still working well, but people throw them away simply because they are no longer needed. Repairing these instruments requires special skills, and many people cannot afford to learn such skills, so few people want to fix them. However, some warm-hearted projects are trying to change this situation and save these instruments. It is reported that more than 10,000 musical instruments are thrown away in Britain every year. Luckily, more organizations have realized the problem and started to take action. They collect old instruments from families, schools and communities, and then ask skilled workers to repair and clean them. Some groups work hard to reduce musical waste and help reuse old instruments. The Olympias Music Foundation provides free high-quality music lessons for children from poor families. It also started the Recycled Orchestra Project, which collects broken instruments, repairs them carefully and passes them on to young music lovers. Since repairing instruments requires professional skills, these skills don’t come cheap. As a solution, experienced instrument makers are invited to teach music teachers. With special repair tools and teaching videos, teachers can now deal with some simple problems by themselves. This helps save more instruments from being thrown away and also cuts down the cost of repair. These meaningful activities not only protect the environment by reducing waste but also help more teenagers develop an interest in music. Many students who had no chance to touch instruments before can now learn and play music happily. Even though many schools have limited budgets for art programs, these projects offer great support for music education. Today, more and more old instruments are returning to life and making beautiful sounds again. They show us that nothing is useless if we treat it with care, and that music can light up the life of every child who loves it. Problems●Old instruments still in 1 are thrown away. ●This causes pollution and a waste of resources. ●Few people repair them due to the 2 of learning skills. Solutions●Organizations collect and repair old instruments. ●Repaired instruments are given to poor students. ●Experts teach teachers basic 3 to save instruments. Advantages●Environmental: reduce waste and pollution. ● 4 : support school music programs. ●Personal: help develop music interest Conclusion●With care, old instruments can get 5 and music lights up children’s lives. 主题04 其他 Passage 1 （2026·贵州遵义·二模）阅读下面短文，根据其内容填空和回答问题。1至4题每题答案不超过3个词，5题需用完整句子回答。 Imagine someone who could explain one culture to another, write stories that traveled across oceans, and even invent a machine to bridge language gaps. That person was Lin Yutang. Born in Fujian in 1895, Lin loved reading and wanted to explore the world from an early age. He first studied in Shanghai, then went to Harvard University to further his studies. Later, he earned his PhD in Germany. Learning about different languages and ways of thinking helped him become a cultural bridge between East and West. Lin worked hard to share Chinese culture with the world. In books like My Country and My People, he introduced Chinese ideas and daily life to Western readers. He also wrote novels such as Moment in Peking and A Leaf in the Storm to show how Chinese people struggled and stayed strong during wartime. His writing was clear and easy to read. Besides writing, Lin translated many classic Chinese works into easy and beautiful English, such as The Analects of Confucius and Laotzu’s Tao Te Ching. At the same time, he also introduced excellent Western books to Chinese readers. He also created a Chinese-English dictionary, which set a good standard for language translation and helped countless people learn Chinese and English. His creativity didn’t stop with writing and translation. Lin was also an inventor. Chinese characters were hard to type with western typewriters. Lin spent years working to design a Chinese typewriter. In 1947, his MingKwai typewriter finally came out and solved the problem. It’s very useful and also played an important role in language research. More than just a writer or inventor, Lin Yutang was a true cultural messenger.

Every year, the world produces over 400 million tons of plastic products, which end up as waste. As for bamboo, it’s easy to get because of its fast growth and long life, which allows it to be harvested many times a year. It’s strong and flexible (灵活的), making it useful in many ways. Most importantly, it is far more eco-friendly than plastic, as it can break down in about three months. As the world’s largest producer of bamboo products, China started a three-year plan in 2023 to promote (推广) bamboo as a key material in production. Anji, Zhejiang, is leading the way. With 666 square kilometers of bamboo forests, Anji has been using bamboo in creative ways since 2022. There are bamboo products everywhere in Anji. However, using bamboo completely faces challenges. The costs of producing bamboo products are often higher than those of producing plastic ones. To help with that, the Chinese government provides financial support. Anji is also trying to find new ways out. In the future, bamboo is expected to replace not just plastic, but also wood, steel, and maybe even some kinds of food. All in all, the future of bamboo is bright.

To make people know the importance of sign languages, the United Nations chose September 23rd as the International Day of Sign Languages (IDSL) in 2018. On that day, there are many activities in China. Last year, many volunteers taught sign language to doctors and nurses in a hospital in Lianyungang, Jiangsu province.

Passage 5 （2026·四川南充·二模）The 2026 Government Work Report clearly says that China will support areas that meet the requirements to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students. At the same time, workers will have a system of paid leave at different times. As a hot topic, this policy has been tested in provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan, and has got useful experience. These short holidays are good for students. They can cut down study pressure after long periods of learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With warm and nice weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in practical activities, such as farming experiences, watching nature and learning local culture. In this way, knowledge from textbooks can be turned into real-life experience. The holidays also bring benefits to families. Leaving at different times allows parents to spend good time with their children at lower costs, away from the crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, which makes family relationships closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, creating a win-win situation for education and society. However, there are still challenges in carrying out the policy. The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities provide more programs for students. The holidays can also be set flexibly according to local conditions. In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational innovation. They show a change from exam-centered education to a focus on all-around development. With joint (共同的) efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way. Spring and autumn holidays 1 ▲ It is carried out in some places to start spring and autumn holidays for students. ▲ Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan have been set as 22 .

Passage 8 （2026·四川成都·二模）根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息。 Did you know that sign language also has “dialects (方言)”? Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to people who can hear is often difficult. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help bridge the gap (隔阂). Hao Shuxin sees sign language as her mother tongue because her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even speak,” she recalled. This early environment helps her communicate with deaf people easily. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing. Her job takes her to places like courts (法庭), where she helps deaf people understand law cases. Because sign language has fewer words than spoken language, Hao often meets difficult law terms that do not have a direct match. In these situations, she carefully explains the meaning to deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘fire put out’ in sign language, because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels pressure at work because accuracy (准确性) is very important in law interpretation. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having travelled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the special ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her skills. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to make every effort to help them,” Hao said. Background●She was born to deaf parents. ●She learned sign language 1 before she could speak. ●She can communicate with deaf people easily.

Passage 11 （2026·四川成都·二模）根据短文内容完成图表中所缺信息。 Lu Xun is one of the most important writers in Chinese history and his works are loved by many people. When Lu Xun was young, he first studied medicine because his father died of illness. He hoped to save lives by becoming a doctor. But later, he saw the painful truth of old Chinese society. He once saw a father buy blood-covered buns (馒头) for his sick son to treat his son’s illness. The blood came from a young man who fought to save the country. Most people around regarded this situation as normal. He then realized that the people’s minds were sick, not just their bodies. He decided to give up medicine and started writing. He believed that, to truly save China, he needed to wake up people’s minds. Although Lu Xun’s works were written a hundred years ago, they still make readers think deeply. People can also get new ideas from his “old” works to deal with today’s situations. His words can tell the truth and encourage people to do what is right. For example, in his famous story Kong Yiji, he criticized (批判) the old exam system for harming people’s lives. Whenever people read Kong Yiji, they think of the terrible life people used to live and start to reflect on fairness in society. Did Lu Xun save China by himself? The answer is no. Although he failed, he succeeded in waking up the nation’s spirit. His courage and love for the country still encourage people today. The spirit of “never being afraid to question” has become an important part of Chinese culture. Lu Xun’s words continue to shine like sunlight, guiding readers to build a better future for the country.

Some people send videos of personal events like holidays and weddings. Using live streaming (网络直播) is very popular among the people aged 18 to 35. Even the teachers give lessons by live streaming. Besides leaving reviews on the screen, they can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual (虚拟的) gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-year-old college student called Nora Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says. “I feel nice when viewers are paying attention to me.” However, there are worries about the misuse (滥用) of live streaming. Papi Jiang promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite language after she was warned by the officials. Now there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China. “We support the use of live streaming. But people should know the two sides of it,” one of the officials said.

They hold more secrets—they are reliable (可信的) natural diaries to record a lot of information for hundreds or even thousands of years. The light-colored rings are wood that grew in spring and early summer, when the weather is warm and wet, allowing trees to grow quickly with large, light cells. The dark rings, on the other hand, form in late summer and fall, when the weather turns cooler and drier, slowing down tree growth and creating small, thick cells. One light ring and one dark ring make one full year of the tree’s life. Tree growth is closely connected to natural weather conditions. In warm and wet years, trees receive enough sunlight and water, so they grow quickly and form wide rings. In cold or dry years, growth slows down, and the rings become much narrower. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought (干旱), the tree can even stop its growth almost completely, leaving very thin rings. Climate scientists study tree rings to learn about climate change by comparing tree growth with local weather records. By looking at the width of tree rings, they can learn about past temperatures and rainfall. Trees can keep climate records for hundreds or even thousands of years, helping us understand natural climate changes and tell them apart from human-caused climate change. However, tree ring is not a perfect climate recorder, since trees are also influenced by non-climatic factors such as wind, insect damage and competition from other trees. To make the data more reliable, scientists collect samples (样本) from many trees and work out the average. Passage 14 （2026·四川成都·二模）根据短文内容，完成图表格中所缺信息。每空不超过三个词。 Cats are experts at relaxing. They spend almost two-thirds of their lives sleeping. If you’ve ever noticed your cat friends covering their faces as they nap (a short sleep, especially during the day), you may have wondered why it turns out this simple action helps them sleep better. Many pet experts believe cats cover their eyes to block out sunlight. Cats usually try to get sunny places for naps, but bright light can hurt their sensitive (敏感的) eyes and keep them from getting sleep. By covering their faces, they create a dark environment for themselves, which makes it easier to fall asleep. The pet food brand Canidae explains that cats often cover their faces when they are sleeping for safety. They know their faces are weak, so covering them is a way to feel safe. Their whiskers are especially sensitive, helping cats sense parts of their environment they may not see or feel otherwise. If something touches their whiskers too much, it can cause their senses to get overloaded (使负荷过重). So, by covering their faces, cats protect their whiskers from being touched too often. This is very important for a cat’s daily life. If there is no good place to hide their face, such as in a box or behind a blanket, cats may simply use their paws. Paws work just as well. Another reason is warmth. A cat’s nose can get cold when the room is cool. Covering the face with paws or a tail helps keep the nose warm. This makes the cat feel much better. Finally, it is also possible that cats sleep this way just because it is comfortable. It is similar to a person curling up like a fetus (a baby or a young animal before it’s born) in bed which may remind them of when they were kittens sleeping next to their mother. That feeling is safe and warm. Whether for comfort, safety, darkness, or warmth, face-covering is just one of the many clever ways cats catch some Z’s. Next time you see your cat sleeping like this, you will know why. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题06 任务型阅读 主题01 哲理感悟 Passage 1 （2026·贵州贵阳·二模）When we think of horses, we often imagine them racing across open land and catching everyone’s attention. But horses aren’t just about speed. They also stand for something else: hard work and self-belief. English has many idioms (习语)that point to this “other side” of horses. And it’s no surprise that people born in the Year of the Horse share these traits, too. Idiom 1: Work like a horse To “work like a horse” means to work very hard for a long time without stopping. Picture a farm horse doing heavy work. It can’t run across the field. It just walks step by step, even when it is tired. Tu Youyou is a great example of this. She was the first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine. She worked many years to find a medicine for malaria. She failed many times, but she never gave up. That’s what “work like a horse” means. We should keep going until our hard work finally pays off. Idiom 2: Dark horse A “dark horse” is a surprising winner — someone who wins when nobody expects them to. This idiom comes from horse racing: Sometimes, the horse that doesn’t seem excellent at the start wins in the end. But is a “dark horse” win really so sudden? Usually, it only looks sudden because people didn’t see the hard training behind the win. True dark horses have a dream and believe in themselves, even when others underestimate (低估)them. People used to call Yang Yu “Jiaozi” a “dark horse.” The former medical student made history with the Chinese cartoon Ne Zha, which earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office. “If you truly believe in something, give it your all — even if it takes years,” Jiaozi said. “I believe creativity and hard work can turn wildest dreams into reality.” Yes, horses can be fast. But true horsepower is not about being fast but about making slow and planned progress. Work hard and believe in yourself — and one day, you might surprise everyone, including yourself! The True Horsepower Idioms 1 Examples Reflection Work like a horse Someone who 2 until the hard work finally pays off. Tu Youyou ●A scientist ●The first Chinese woman to win the Nobel Prize. What can you learn from a “horse”? 3 4 Someone who wins when nobody expects them to. Yang Yu “Jiaozi” ●A director ●Created history with Ne Zha, making over 5 at the box office. 【答案】1．Meanings/Meaning 2．keeps going/works hard 3．Work hard and believe in yourself 4． Dark horse 5．5 billion yuan/five billion yuan 【知识点】哲理感悟、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以“马”的习语为切入点，通过屠呦呦和杨宇（饺子）的事例，阐释了“work like a horse”和“dark horse”的含义，传递了“勤奋坚持、相信自己，终能创造惊喜”的观点。 【详解】1．根据表格结构，第一列是“Idioms（习语）”，第三列是“Examples（例子）”，第四列是“Reflection（反思）”。第二列的内容是对习语的解释，如“Someone who wins when nobody expects them to.（出乎意料获胜的人。）”，可推知结论该列应为习语的含义。故填Meanings/Meaning。 2．根据文章第四段“We should keep going until our hard work finally pays off.（我们应该坚持下去，直到我们的努力最终得到回报。）”可推知结论“work like a horse”指的是坚持不懈直到努力得到回报的人。定语从句先行词是Someone，谓语动词需用第三人称单数。故填keeps going/works hard。 3．根据文章第八段“Work hard and believe in yourself—and one day, you might surprise everyone, including yourself!（努力工作并相信自己——总有一天，你可能会让所有人，包括你自己，感到惊讶！）”可推知结论我们能从“马”身上学到的是努力工作并相信自己。故填Work hard and believe in yourself。 4．根据文章第六段“A ‘dark horse’ is a surprising winner—someone who wins when nobody expects them to.（‘黑马’是一个令人惊讶的赢家——一个在没人预料到的情况下获胜的人。）”可推知结论出乎意料获胜的人对应的习语是“Dark horse”。故填Dark horse。 5．根据文章第七段“The former medical student made history with the Chinese cartoon Ne Zha, which earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office.（这位前医学生凭借中国动画片《哪吒》创造了历史，该片在票房上赚了超过50亿元人民币。）”可推知结论《哪吒》的票房超过了50亿元人民币。故填5 billion yuan/ five billion yuan。 主题02 中华文化 Passage 1 （2026·贵州黔东南·二模）Many foreigners are trying out Chinese habits and sharing their videos online. It has developed into a global trend (潮流) called “Becoming Chinese”. From enjoying daily drinks to practicing traditional exercises and arts, these Chinese lifestyles are winning wide popularity around the world. In one popular video, Emma Wilson, a British woman who has worked in China for 3 years, tells her story “In my country, we always drink cold tap water. But after working in China, I fell in love with warm water. Now I even add goji berries and red dates (枸杞和红枣) to my cup. It feels so nice and helps me sleep much better!” Diego Morales, a fitness coach from Chile, shares his experience of practicing baduanjin. “I do this traditional Chinese exercise every morning. It helps me reset (调整) my body and start the day energetically,” he says. Lily Anderson, a young American student, also shares her new hobby “I’ve been learning Chinese calligraphy (书法). Holding the brush and writing Chinese characters make me feel calm and connected to Chinese culture.” Chinese culture values living in peace with nature and keeping a balance between yin and yang. These lifestyles can bring people calm and order in a fast-changing world. This trend means foreigners are changing their minds — they no longer see Chinese culture as something far and mysterious, but take an active part in it. As China Daily reports, a growing number of Chinese products, technologies and lifestyles have influenced the world. The “Becoming Chinese” trend is a natural people-to-people cultural exchange, letting more people around the world feel the beauty of Chinese culture. Live the Chinese way Chinese lifestyles are becoming 1 around the world. Typical 2 A British woman drinks warm water with goji berries and red dates. A fitness coach from Chile practices baduanjin.

I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others always experience ill luck. I carried out a simple experiment to discover why there were differences in their ability to find chances. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside.

The World Happiness Report surveyed 142 countries around the world to find out how common it was for people in a country to share meals and how this influenced their levels of happiness. Here are the findings. The country where people share the most meals is Senegal in Africa. Local people in Senegal eat with others about 12 times per week. That’s almost twice a day. On average, people in Latin America and the Caribbean share about 9 meals with others per week. At the very bottom of the list are Bangladesh and Estonia, where fewer than three meals a week are shared. Even though there are different frequencies (频率) of shared meals around the world, the advantages appear to be the same everywhere. No matter where they live, people who share meals more often with others report much higher levels of life satisfaction. This is true across all ages and cultures. In fact, people who share even only one meal a week are much happier than those who eat all their meals alone. However, in some places, people’s eating habits may be changing. The researchers said that people in East Asian countries are becoming more and more likely to eat by themselves. The reasons for that are thought to be an increase in single-person households (单身户) and aging populations. Anyway, invite a friend or family member to share a meal with you. Your brain and heart will thank you for this delicious “social vitamin”. Eating together & happiness Eating with others can 1 people’s feelings. A related survey Surveyed people: people from 142 countries 2 : to find out the frequency with which people shared meals and how this influenced their happiness levels Findings: People in Senegal have the highest frequency of shared meals: about 12 times a week. People in Latin America and the Caribbean are at an average level of about 9 times a week People in Bangladesh and Estonia have the 3 frequency: fewer than three times a week. People sharing more meals report they are 4 with their life. Change The frequency of eating with others is 5 in East Asian countries because of the increasing single-person households and aging populations. 【答案】1．improve 2．Purpose/Aim 3．lowest 4．more satisfied 5．dropping/falling 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了与他人共餐对人们幸福感的影响。 【详解】1．文章第一段点明：“...it seems that eating with others can make people feel even better.”，与他人共餐可以使人们感觉更好，即改善人们的情绪，应填improve。 2．第二段提到一项调查：“The World Happiness Report surveyed 142 countries around the world to find out how common it was for people in a country to share meals and how this influenced their levels of happiness.”，“弄清楚人们共餐的频率以及这如何影响他们的幸福水平”是这项调查的目的，应填Purpose/Aim。 3．文章第三段指出：“At the very bottom of the list are Bangladesh and Estonia, where fewer than three meals a week are shared.”，孟加拉国和爱沙尼亚的人们共餐频率最低，应用最高级，因此填lowest。 4．第四段表明：“No matter where they live, people who share meals more often with others report much higher levels of life satisfaction.”，常与他人共餐的人对他们的生活更满意，be satisfied with意为“对……满意”，结合语境可知用比较级，因此填more satisfied。 5．文章第五段提到：“The researchers said that people in East Asian countries are becoming more and more likely to eat by themselves.”，东亚国家的人们越来越有可能独自进食，也就是与他人共餐的频率正在下降，应填dropping/falling。 Passage 3 （2026·四川南充·二模）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成表格中所缺信息，并将答案写在答题卡相应的横线上，每空限填一词。 Sugar painting, as the name means, is a painting made of sugar. It’s the sugar for us to taste, and the painting for us to admire. Since the Warring States Period, the ancient people loved sweets and developed methods of producing sugar. In the Tang Dynasty, there was huge progress in the technology of sugar making. And sugar, the precious product once only served the emperors and princes, also went into common people’s homes. With the cultural and economic development of Song and Yuan Dynasties, people became less interested in only tasting sweetness. In the Ming Dynasty, some people added pictures with good luck into the bowl of sugar, and sugar painting showed up. Sugar painting is different from normal painting. Sugar painters use syrup (糖浆) as the material, a spoon as the “paintbrush”, and a smooth table as the “paper”. To make syrup, they have to make sugar hot before painting. Since syrup may become hard if it cools, the painters have to finish in a short time. They move the spoon full of syrup up and down, left and right. Soon a sugar painting is done. However, it’s a pity that this folk art is dying recently. The sugar painting that used to be rich in shapes has become poorer and poorer because of fewer needs. What’s worse, fewer people seem to be ready to pass on the art. Only those aging sugar painters carry forward the art. For most people, painting is a kind of art and difficult to understand. However, sugar painting has pulled the art down into people’s daily lives. Through it, we may see the spiritual support of the ancient people across centuries. Now, sugar painting has been listed as an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Therefore, the art should be remembered, missed and passed on. MeaningIt 1 art with daily life and shows the spiritual support of the ancient people. DefinitionA painting made of sugar. It can be tasted and 2 . Present SituationFewer people are ready to pass it on 3 those aging sugar painters. 4 ■ Warring States Period: People had methods of producing sugar. ■ Tang Dynasty: Sugar went into common people’s homes. ■ Song and Yuan Dynasties: People were less interested in only tasting sweetness. ■ Ming Dynasty: Sugar painting appeared when people added pictures with good luck into sugar.

Hunger has many different causes, according to Dr. Monique Tello, from Harvard Medical School. The first cause may be a medical problem. “If a person always feels hungry and can’t put on weight or even loses weight, he should go to the hospital. For people with Type I diabetes(糖尿病), their body isn’t able to process sugar. They eat a lot, but still lose weight and they feel terrible.” Tello said. If it isn’t a medical cause, the problems could be in the head. It’s reasonable to be hungry every three to five hours. However, it’s possible for you to eat often and a lot after watching food advertisements on TV or social media(媒体). Also, the more you eat, the larger your stomach gets, and the more you want to eat.

Trees take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and keep it in their bodies. Because of this, many people think planting more trees can help cut down the amount of CO₂ in the air. However, scientists say the situation may not be so simple. Trees can keep carbon (碳) only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again. In recent years, scientists have noticed something interesting. Trees in many places around the world are growing faster than before. At the same time, scientists noticed the rising level of CO₂ in the air. Roel Brienen, a forest scientist from the University of Leeds in the UK, explained that higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly. At first, this seems like good news. Faster-growing trees can take in carbon more quickly. But scientists have also found another important fact. Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly. To study this question, Brienen and his team examined more than 210,000 tree-ring records from over 110 tree species in many parts of the world. Their research showed that in most forests, fast-growing trees usually died younger than slow-growing trees. The team also used a computer program to study what might happen in a forest over time. At first, the forest held more carbon because trees were growing quickly. But about twenty years later, many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again. Because of this, scientists believe planting trees alone cannot solve the problem of climate change. We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air. A New Finding About Trees and Climate Change Traditional View Planting trees is a good way to slow climate change. New Finding Trees 1 carbon forever. Faster-growing Trees Trees are growing faster. Higher CO₂ and warmer temperatures may be a 2 . A Problem Discovered Fast-growing trees have a 3 lifespan (寿命) than slow-growing ones. The Result of the Study The carbon in the air will 4 again when trees start to die. Conclusion Besides planting trees, reducing the amount of CO2 is still 5 . 【答案】1．can’t keep 2．cause 3．shorter 4．return 5．necessary 【导语】本文主要讲述了关于树木和气候变化的新发现，指出树木并不能永久储存碳，生长快的树木寿命更短，因此仅靠植树无法解决气候变化问题，减少二氧化碳排放仍然必要。 【详解】1．根据第一段“Trees can keep carbon only while they are alive. When trees die, they slowly break down over time, and the carbon goes back into the air again.”可知，树木不能永远储存碳，因此填“can’t keep”。 2．根据第二段“higher CO₂ levels and warmer temperatures can help trees grow more quickly.”可知，更高的二氧化碳浓度和更温暖的温度可能是树木生长更快的“原因”，因此填“cause”。 3．根据第三段“Trees that grow very fast often live shorter lives than trees that grow more slowly.”可知，快速生长的树木寿命更短，因此填“shorter”。 4．根据第五段“many trees began to die, and the carbon returned to the air again.”可知，当树木开始死亡时，碳会再次“返回”到空气中，因此填“return”。 5．根据最后一段“We still need to stop putting too much CO₂ into the air.”可知，除了植树，减少二氧化碳排放量仍然是“必要的”，因此填“necessary”。 Passage 2 （2026·四川成都·二模）根据短文内容，完成图表中所缺信息（不超过三个词）。 In the UK, thousands of old and unwanted musical instruments are thrown away every year. Most of them are sent to landfills, which causes serious environmental pollution and a huge waste of resources. Many instruments are still working well, but people throw them away simply because they are no longer needed. Repairing these instruments requires special skills, and many people cannot afford to learn such skills, so few people want to fix them. However, some warm-hearted projects are trying to change this situation and save these instruments. It is reported that more than 10,000 musical instruments are thrown away in Britain every year. Luckily, more organizations have realized the problem and started to take action. They collect old instruments from families, schools and communities, and then ask skilled workers to repair and clean them. Some groups work hard to reduce musical waste and help reuse old instruments. The Olympias Music Foundation provides free high-quality music lessons for children from poor families. It also started the Recycled Orchestra Project, which collects broken instruments, repairs them carefully and passes them on to young music lovers. Since repairing instruments requires professional skills, these skills don’t come cheap. As a solution, experienced instrument makers are invited to teach music teachers. With special repair tools and teaching videos, teachers can now deal with some simple problems by themselves. This helps save more instruments from being thrown away and also cuts down the cost of repair. These meaningful activities not only protect the environment by reducing waste but also help more teenagers develop an interest in music. Many students who had no chance to touch instruments before can now learn and play music happily. Even though many schools have limited budgets for art programs, these projects offer great support for music education. Today, more and more old instruments are returning to life and making beautiful sounds again. They show us that nothing is useless if we treat it with care, and that music can light up the life of every child who loves it. Problems●Old instruments still in 1 are thrown away. ●This causes pollution and a waste of resources. ●Few people repair them due to the 2 of learning skills. Solutions●Organizations collect and repair old instruments. ●Repaired instruments are given to poor students. ●Experts teach teachers basic 3 to save instruments.

At the same time, workers will have a system of paid leave at different times. As a hot topic, this policy has been tested in provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan, and has got useful experience. These short holidays are good for students. They can cut down study pressure after long periods of learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With warm and nice weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in practical activities, such as farming experiences, watching nature and learning local culture. In this way, knowledge from textbooks can be turned into real-life experience. The holidays also bring benefits to families. Leaving at different times allows parents to spend good time with their children at lower costs, away from the crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, which makes family relationships closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, creating a win-win situation for education and society. However, there are still challenges in carrying out the policy. The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities provide more programs for students. The holidays can also be set flexibly according to local conditions. In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational innovation. They show a change from exam-centered education to a focus on all-around development. With joint (共同的) efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way.

Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to people who can hear is often difficult. Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help bridge the gap (隔阂). Hao Shuxin sees sign language as her mother tongue because her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even speak,” she recalled. This early environment helps her communicate with deaf people easily. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing. Her job takes her to places like courts (法庭), where she helps deaf people understand law cases. Because sign language has fewer words than spoken language, Hao often meets difficult law terms that do not have a direct match. In these situations, she carefully explains the meaning to deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the words ‘put out a fire’ are signed as ‘fire put out’ in sign language, because deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Hao feels pressure at work because accuracy (准确性) is very important in law interpretation. Her worry also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained. Having travelled to over 30 cities in China, she has learned about the special ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with lawyers and her deaf coworkers to improve her skills. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to make every effort to help them,” Hao said. Background●She was born to deaf parents. ●She learned sign language 1 before she could speak. ●She can communicate with deaf people easily. Profile card Name:Hao Shuxin Job: Sign Language Interpreter Job●She bridges the 2 gap between deaf people and the hearing world. ●In 2018, she started working as a sign language interpreter. ●She helps deaf people understand law cases in courts. 3 ●Some law words do not have signs. She needs to explain the meaning carefully. ● 4 in sign language is different from Chinese. ●People from different cities use different hand gestures for the same word. ●She must be very accurate because accuracy is important in law. Her Effort●She reads many law books in her free time. ●She talks with lawyers and deaf coworkers to learn more. ●She wants to help 5 because she understands their difficulties. 【答案】1．even 2．communication 3．Challenges 4．Grammar 5．deaf people 【导语】本文讲述了手语翻译郝淑昕的职业背景、工作挑战和努力。 1．第二段中郝淑昕说“I picked up sign language before I could even speak”，强调她在会说话之前就已经掌握了手语，“even”起强调作用。 2．第一段的“Luckily, sign language interpreters (翻译) are there to help bridge the gap (隔阂).”指出手语翻译的职责是架起聋人与听人世界之间的“沟通鸿沟”，原文提到“bridge the gap”，结合上下文可知是“communication gap”。 3．图表中挑战列表前的空白行需要一个小标题，该部分内容主要描述她在工作中遇到的压力和困难，如法律术语无对应手势、语法差异、手语方言等，因此标题应为“Challenges”。 4．第三段的“There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language.”明确指出手语与汉语存在“grammatical differences”（语法差异），并以“灭火”语序为例，因此主语应为“Grammar”。 5．最后一段的“‘My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties faced by the deaf community. I want to make every effort to help them,’ Hao said.”指出郝淑昕希望帮助的对象是“deaf people”，因为她的父母是聋人，她理解聋人群体的困难，原文中“help them”中的“them”指代聋人。 Passage 9 （2026·四川绵阳·二模）阅读下面短文，然后在文后表格内完成内容摘要，每空不超过三个词。 In recent years, City Walk has been a widespread lifestyle among young people.

When Lu Xun was young, he first studied medicine because his father died of illness. He hoped to save lives by becoming a doctor. But later, he saw the painful truth of old Chinese society. He once saw a father buy blood-covered buns (馒头) for his sick son to treat his son’s illness. The blood came from a young man who fought to save the country. Most people around regarded this situation as normal. He then realized that the people’s minds were sick, not just their bodies. He decided to give up medicine and started writing. He believed that, to truly save China, he needed to wake up people’s minds. Although Lu Xun’s works were written a hundred years ago, they still make readers think deeply. People can also get new ideas from his “old” works to deal with today’s situations. His words can tell the truth and encourage people to do what is right. For example, in his famous story Kong Yiji, he criticized (批判) the old exam system for harming people’s lives. Whenever people read Kong Yiji, they think of the terrible life people used to live and start to reflect on fairness in society. Did Lu Xun save China by himself? The answer is no. Although he failed, he succeeded in waking up the nation’s spirit. His courage and love for the country still encourage people today. The spirit of “never being afraid to question” has become an important part of Chinese culture. Lu Xun’s words continue to shine like sunlight, guiding readers to build a better future for the country. 【答案】1．experiences 2．painful 3． new ideas 4．spirit 5．failed 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国历史上最重要的作家之一鲁迅的生平经历、作品影响以及他的精神对后世的深远意义。 【详解】1．根据文章第二段“When LuXun was young, he first studied medicine...

These rings are not just simple circles. They hold more secrets—they are reliable (可信的) natural diaries to record a lot of information for hundreds or even thousands of years. The light-colored rings are wood that grew in spring and early summer, when the weather is warm and wet, allowing trees to grow quickly with large, light cells. The dark rings, on the other hand, form in late summer and fall, when the weather turns cooler and drier, slowing down tree growth and creating small, thick cells. One light ring and one dark ring make one full year of the tree’s life. Tree growth is closely connected to natural weather conditions. In warm and wet years, trees receive enough sunlight and water, so they grow quickly and form wide rings. In cold or dry years, growth slows down, and the rings become much narrower. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought (干旱), the tree can even stop its growth almost completely, leaving very thin rings. Climate scientists study tree rings to learn about climate change by comparing tree growth with local weather records. By looking at the width of tree rings, they can learn about past temperatures and rainfall. Trees can keep climate records for hundreds or even thousands of years, helping us understand natural climate changes and tell them apart from human-caused climate change. However, tree ring is not a perfect climate recorder, since trees are also influenced by non-climatic factors such as wind, insect damage and competition from other trees. To make the data more reliable, scientists collect samples (样本) from many trees and work out the average. 【答案】1．climate 2．different seasons 3．colder or drier 4．compare 5．reduce 【导语】本文主要介绍了树木的年轮不仅能判断树龄，还能反映气候和环境的变化，科学家据此研究长期气候规律。 1．第一段“They hold more secrets—they are reliable natural diaries to record a lot of information”，并结合全文主旨“气候研究”可知，此处应为“关于气候的信息”，填climate。 2．第二段说明：树木的浅色环形成于春季和初夏，深色环形成于夏末和秋季，即“形成于不同季节”，填different seasons。 3．第三段说明：在温暖潮湿的年份，树木生长快，形成宽的年轮。因此年轮更窄的年份A比年份B“更寒冷或干旱”，填colder or drier。 4．第四段“Climate scientists study tree rings to learn about climate change by comparing tree growth with local weather records.”表明，科学家必须把树木的成长与当地的气候记录“作比较”，填compare。 5．最后一段表明，树木也受风、虫害、竞争等非气候因素影响。为了数据更可靠，科学家取多棵树平均值，目的是减少其他因素的影响，可填reduce，其他语意相近的单词亦可。 Passage 14 （2026·四川成都·二模）根据短文内容，完成图表格中所缺信息。每空不超过三个词。 Cats are experts at relaxing. They spend almost two-thirds of their lives sleeping. If you’ve ever noticed your cat friends covering their faces as they nap (a short sleep, especially during the day), you may have wondered why it turns out this simple action helps them sleep better. Many pet experts believe cats cover their eyes to block out sunlight. Cats usually try to get sunny places for naps, but bright light can hurt their sensitive (敏感的) eyes and keep them from getting sleep. By covering their faces, they create a dark environment for themselves, which makes it easier to fall asleep. The pet food brand Canidae explains that cats often cover their faces when they are sleeping for safety. They know their faces are weak, so covering them is a way to feel safe. Their whiskers are especially sensitive, helping cats sense parts of their environment they may not see or feel otherwise. If something touches their whiskers too much, it can cause their senses to get overloaded (使负荷过重). So, by covering their faces, cats protect their whiskers from being touched too often. This is very important for a cat’s daily life. If there is no good place to hide their face, such as in a box or behind a blanket, cats may simply use their paws. Paws work just as well. Another reason is warmth. A cat’s nose can get cold when the room is cool. Covering the face with paws or a tail helps keep the nose warm. This makes the cat feel much better. Finally, it is also possible that cats sleep this way just because it is comfortable. It is similar to a person curling up like a fetus (a baby or a young animal before it’s born) in bed which may remind them of when they were kittens sleeping next to their mother. That feeling is safe and warm. Whether for comfort, safety, darkness, or warmth, face-covering is just one of the many clever ways cats catch some Z’s. Next time you see your cat sleeping like this, you will know why. 【答案】1．Cover Their Faces 2．sunny places 3．avoid 4．keep warm 5．position 【导语】本文介绍了猫咪睡觉时用爪子/尾巴捂住脸的几种原因，包括避光、保暖、安全和舒适，揭示了猫咪这一行为背后的生理与心理需求。 1．全文围绕猫咪睡觉时捂住脸的原因展开，因此标题应概括这一行为，结合原文“face-covering is just one of the many clever ways cats catch some Z’s”，应填Cover Their Faces。 2．原文第一段指出“Cats usually try to get sunny places for naps, but bright light can hurt their sensitive eyes”，即猫咪喜欢晒太阳，但需要避光保护眼睛，因此应填sunny places。 3．原文第二段指出“If something touches their whiskers too much, it can cause their senses to get overloaded. So, by covering their faces, cats protect their whiskers from being touched too often”，即捂住脸可以避免感官负荷过重，因此应填avoid。 4．原文第三段提到“Another reason is warmth. Covering the face with paws or a tail helps keep the nose warm”，即该原因是保暖，因此应填keep warm。 5．原文第四段指出“It is similar to a person curling up like a fetus in bed which may remind them of when they were kittens sleeping next to their mother”，即猫咪会像胎儿一样蜷缩睡觉，因此应填position。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
