It lives more than 3 kilometers under the Pacific Ocean. But if you were imagining a large, 6 creature, you’d be wrong. One researcher even called it “adorable”. These snailfish are strange little creatures. They have big heads and jelly-like bodies. There are no scales on their loose skin. Many have a special disc on their bellies. It lets them 7 onto the sea floor, or even catch a ride on an animal like a crab. Some snailfish live in shallow areas of the ocean. They curl up on rocks like a snail. 8 live in the deep ocean. To explore the deep sea, scientists 9 a small submarine and a robot. The robot’s cameras spotted a pink snailfish about the size of a deck of cards. The team also found two other unusual snailfish. One was very black and the other was long and thin. One scientist said, “Studying these tiny deep-sea fish shows how 10 we know about the ocean. These snailfish are a reminder of the power of curiosity and exploration.” 6．A．scare B．scared C．scary D．scaring 7．A．grab B．to grab C．grabbing D．grabbed 8．A．Other B．Others C．The others D．Another 9．A．used B．were using C．had used D．will use 10．A．few B．a few C．a little D．little 【答案】6．C 7．A 8．B 9．A 10．D 【导语】本文介绍了科学家在太平洋深处发现的一种新蜗牛鱼，描述了它们的奇特外貌、生活习性以及科学家探索深海的方式，最后指出这些发现提醒我们对海洋知之甚少。 6．句意：但如果你想象一个大的、可怕的生物，那你就错了。一位研究人员甚至称它为“可爱”。 此处需要一个形容词，在句中表示“令人害怕的”。因为前文提到“large”暗示可能令人恐惧，但实际这种鱼很可爱，scary“可怕的”，符合题意。scared“感到害怕的”，主语通常为人；scaring较少用作形容词；scare为动词或名词，均不符合题意。 7．句意：它们腹部有一个特殊的圆盘，可以让它们抓住海底，甚至搭上螃蟹等动物的便车。 此处需要一个动词原形，在句中与“let them”构成“let sb. do sth.”结构。因为let后面接不带to的动词不定式，grab“抓住”，动词原形，符合题意。to grab为动词不定式，grabbing为现在分词，grabbed为过去式，均不符合语法。 8．句意：有些蜗牛鱼生活在海洋浅水区，它们像蜗牛一样蜷缩在岩石上。其他一些生活在深海。 此处需要一个不定代词，在句中作主语，表示“其他一些蜗牛鱼”。因为前面用“Some”泛指一些，后面用“Others”对应泛指另一些，符合语境。Other为形容词，不能单独作主语；The others特指剩余的全部，范围不符；Another指另一个，与复数不符。 9．句意：为了探索深海，科学家们使用了一艘小型潜艇和一个机器人。 此处需要一个一般过去时的谓语动词，在句中表示过去发生的动作。因为全文叙述过去的研究活动，且后文“spotted”为过去时，used“使用”，动词的过去式，符合题意。were using过去进行时强调动作持续，但此处仅陈述事实；had used过去完成时需要有过去参照点；will use将来时与语境不符。 10．句意：研究这些微小的深海鱼表明，我们对海洋的了解是多么之少。 此处需要一个表示否定意义的副词或限定词，在句中修饰动词“know”或表示知识量少。how little we know是固定结构，little作副词意为“很少”，表示否定含义，符合题意。few修饰可数名词，不能直接修饰动词know；a few表示“一点儿”，修饰可数名词，a little表示肯定“一点儿”，均不符合语境。 C Do you know how many kinds of plants and animals 11 in the world? Experts believe there are between 8 and 14 million, but right now we only know about 1.5 million. However, scientists 12 new plant and animal species (物种) all the time—and that’s good news for us. In 2009, a university professor 13 Christopher Austin and his student Eric Rittmeyer discovered a new animal species. They were in Papua New Guinea, studying the wildlife on the island. One evening, they were in the jungle listening to animal sounds. The most common sound was the noise of frogs croaking loudly. But there was another sound—a much softer, high-pitched one that sounded like it came from something much smaller. At first, they couldn’t locate the sound, but after some time, they realized it came from the ground. They searched through the grass and dead leaves carefully, but what they found surprised them. It was a tiny frog just seven millimeters (毫米) long. “This frog has a call 14 doesn’t sound like a frog at all,” said Austin. The frog they discovered was the smallest in the world! Researchers believe that frogs are important because they help keep the environment clean. We can also use them to create new medicines. Whenever we find a new species, we learn new things. For that reason, scientists work very hard to find new plants and animals every day. But their jobs are getting more difficult. The forests that these animals live in are disappearing quickly. And, sadly, 15 are the animals. 11．A．are there B．there be C．there is D．there are 12．A．find B．will find C．are finding D．have found 13．A．named B．was named C．name D．naming 14．A．what B．that C．who D．it 15．A．as B．neither C．so D．either 【答案】11．D 12．C 13．A 14．B 15．C 【导语】本文围绕动植物物种展开，讲述了世界上动植物物种数量情况，科学家不断发现新物种，还举例2009年大学教授和学生发现世界上最小的青蛙这一事件，最后提到科学家发现新物种工作变难，动物生存环境堪忧。 11．句意：你知道世界上有多少种动植物吗？ 宾语从句用陈述语序，应该是“how many kinds of plants and animals there are in the world”，所以用“there are”，D选项符合。“there be”是原形，不能直接用于此句；“there is”用于单数；“are there”是疑问语序，均不符合特殊疑问句结构。 12．句意：然而，科学家们一直在发现新的动植物物种——这对我们来说是个好消息。 根据“all the time”可知，这里强调科学家发现新物种这个动作一直在进行，用现在进行时“are finding”，C选项正确。“find”是一般现在时；“will find”是一般将来时；“have found”是现在完成时，均不能体现动作的持续性。 13．句意：2009年，一位名叫克里斯托弗·奥斯汀的大学教授和他的学生埃里克·里特迈耶发现了一种新的动物物种。 这里“named Christopher Austin”是过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰“a university professor”，表示“被叫做……的”，A选项正确。“was named”是谓语动词形式，此处不需要；“name”是动词原形；“naming”是现在分词，均不符合语法结构。 14．句意：“这种青蛙的叫声听起来根本不像青蛙，”奥斯汀说。 这是一个定语从句，先行词是“call”，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词“that”，B选项正确。“what”不能引导定语从句；“who”用于指人；“it”不能引导从句。 15．句意：并且，遗憾的是，动物也是如此。 “so + be动词/助动词/情态动词 + 主语”表示“……也是如此”，这里说动物也和森林一样在快速消失，C选项符合。“as”一般用于肯定句中的“如此……以至于……”结构；“neither”用于否定句表示“……也不”；“either”用于否定句句末表示“也”，均不符合语境。 二、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was nine, my grandfather gave me a small seed. “Plant it,” he said, “but know that it will take time to grow into what it is meant to be.” I was 16 at first, expecting quick results like the sunflowers I’d grown the summer before. I planted it in a corner of the garden and 17 it daily.     Weeks passed, then months. 18 appeared above the soil. I began to feel disappointed. “Maybe it’s dead,” I told my grandfather. He simply smiled and said, “Some things require faith and 19 .” Though I didn’t want to, I still kept watering the empty patch of earth every day. A year later, a tiny green shoot finally came out. It grew slowly—painfully slowly. During my secondary school years, that plant became a symbol of my own 20 . There were times I wanted to give up on both the plant and myself, especially when there was too much pressure. But remembering my grandfather’s words, I kept going. Five years after planting, it finally bloomed. The sight took my breath away: a fantastic tree peony with flowers as large as dinner plates. All those years of 21 finally paid off! My grandfather 22 the following spring, but he left me with more than just a beautiful plant. He taught me that the most 23 things in life—character, wisdom, meaningful relationships—all need time and patience to mature. True growth happens unseen, under the surface, where roots grow deep and strong. Today, whenever I face challenges that test my patience, I remember that seed, a reminder of my grandfather’s 24 . The lesson wasn’t really about gardening; it was about learning to trust the process, to value slow development, and to believe some things are worth 25 . 16．A．excited B．worried C．surprised D．frightened 17．A．watched B．planted C．watered D．moved 18．A．Something B．Nothing C．Anything D．Everything 19．A．luck B．patience C．skill D．sunshine 20．A．success B．failure C．dream D．growth 21．A．worries B．pains C．effort D．doubts 22．A．passed away B．passed by C．passed on D．passed out 23．A．expensive B．immediate C．valuable D．simple 24．A．wisdom B．kindness C．curiosity D．determination 25．A．caring for B．looking for C．studying for D．waiting for 【答案】 16．A 17．C 18．B 19．B 20．D 21．C 22．A 23．C 24．A 25．D 【导语】本文讲述了作者在爷爷的引导下，种下一颗牡丹种子，经历漫长等待与多次失望，最终见证花开，并从中领悟到成长需要耐心与坚持的人生道理。 【详解】16．句意：一开始我很兴奋，期待着像去年夏天种的向日葵一样快速看到结果。 根据后文“expecting quick results”，作者刚拿到种子时心情是兴奋的，excited表示“兴奋的”，符合语境。worried担心的，surprised惊讶的，frightened害怕的，均不符合上下文。 17．句意：我把它种在花园的角落里，每天给它浇水。 根据后文“still kept watering the empty patch of earth every day”，可知作者每天都会浇水，watered表示“浇水”，符合语境。watched观察，planted种植，moved移动，均不符合上下文。 18．句意：几周过去了，几个月过去了，土壤上什么也没长出来。 根据后文“I began to feel disappointed”，作者感到失望，说明种子一直没有发芽，Nothing表示“什么都没有”，符合语境。Something某物，Anything任何东西，Everything一切，均不符合上下文。 19．句意：爷爷只是笑着说：“有些事情需要信念和耐心。” 根据后文作者又坚持浇水等待了一年才看到芽，可知爷爷说的是需要耐心，patience表示“耐心”，符合语境。luck运气，skill技巧，sunshine阳光，均不符合上下文。 20．句意：在我中学时期，那株植物成了我自身成长的象征。 根据后文“There were times I wanted to give up on both the plant and myself, especially when there was too much pressure. But remembering my grandfather’s words, I kept going.”，作者在压力下和植物一起坚持成长，growth表示“成长”，符合语境。success成功，failure失败，dream梦想，均不符合上下文。 21．句意：这么多年的努力终于有了回报！ 根据前文作者坚持照顾种子多年，最终看到花开，years of effort是固定表达，此处effort表“心血、付出”，为不可数名词，泛指长期的努力，符合语境。worries担忧，pains痛苦，doubts怀疑，均不符合上下文。 22．句意：爷爷在第二年春天去世了，但他留给我的不仅仅是一株美丽的植物。 根据后文“but he left me with more than just a beautiful plant”，转折说明爷爷已经不在了，passed away表示“去世”，符合语境。passed by经过，passed on传递，passed out昏倒，均不符合上下文。 23．句意：他教会我，生命中最宝贵的东西——品格、智慧、有意义的关系——都需要时间和耐心来成熟。 根据后文列举的品格、智慧等，这些都是宝贵的东西，valuable表示“宝贵的”，符合语境。expensive昂贵的，immediate立即的，simple简单的，均不符合上下文。 24．句意：今天，每当我面对考验我耐心的挑战时，我都会想起那颗种子，它提醒着我爷爷的智慧。 根据前文爷爷教给作者的人生道理，wisdom表示“智慧”，符合语境。kindness善良，curiosity好奇心，determination决心，均不符合上下文。 25．句意：这个教训其实和园艺无关；它是关于学会信任过程，重视缓慢发展，并相信有些事情是值得等待的。 根据前文牡丹种子经历多年等待才开花，waiting for表示“等待”，符合语境。caring for关心，looking for寻找，studying for为……学习，均不符合上下文。 三、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 请认真阅读下列材料，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Today’s Topic The power of hope Charles Snyder Psychologist Hope is a good feeling that things will get better.

Jimmy, aged 13 Hope helps me see my good points and it makes me feel calm and happy. Tracy, aged 14 I often feel hopeless when facing problems. I think problems are too big to solve and I even want to give up. David Feldman Hope Expert Hope is a skill you can learn. You can start by working towards an important goal. If you feel hopeless, talk to people who have succeeded or someone who supports you. They can help you. Here are more tips to stay hopeful: * Make a hope cloud: Write what you hope for on a cloud-shaped paper. Write at least one thing you can do to get closer to your dream. Put it where you can see it to remind yourself. * Keep good habits: Exercise every day. Play or listen to music. Volunteer to help others. Spend time in nature, like going for a bike ride. 26．What do Jimmy and Charles Snyder both say about hope? A．Hope is having a goal. B．Hope makes people feel calm. C．Hope helps people feel better. D．Successful people are always hopeful. 27．What can Tracy do to stay hopeful? A．Stay at home alone. B．Make a hope cloud. C．Give up when things go wrong. D．Only think about big problems. 28．In which part of a magazine can we read the text? A．Health. B．Games. C．Hobbies. D．Technology. 【答案】26．C 27．B 28．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了希望的定义、作用及保持希望的方法，通过心理学家、青少年和专家的观点，阐述了希望对人的积极影响。 【详解】26．根据心理学家Charles Snyder的观点“Hope is a good feeling that things will get better.”以及Jimmy的表述“Hope helps me see my good points and it makes me feel calm and happy.”可知，两人都提到了希望能让人感觉更好。 27．Tracy面临问题时会感到绝望，文中给出的保持希望的建议包括“Make a hope cloud”和“Keep good habits”，选项B是文中明确提到的保持希望的方法。 28．本文围绕“希望的力量”展开，涉及心理健康、情绪调节等内容，这类文章通常出现在杂志的健康板块，而非游戏、爱好或科技板块，因此选A。 B Tea has long been a popular drink in China. Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favourites. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha”. Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked (搅打) with water into soft “clouds”. White tea was often used to make the “clouds” as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since 1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er Tuocha has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity (永恒). Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west. Each cup of Pu’er, with the smell of sunshine, turns tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. 29．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the passage? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 30．When did Fred Kempler begin to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe? A．In 1986. B．In 1976. C．In 1279. D．In 960. 31．Which sentence uses “globally” with the same meaning as the underlined word? Globally /'gləʊbəli/ adv. ①全球地  ②全面地  ③总体而言，整体地 A．Globally, our class did well in the English test. B．The Olympic Games bring people together globally. C．The story is globally interesting though some parts are slow. D．This maths question needs you to consider the numbers globally. 【答案】29．D 30．B 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国源远流长的茶文化，介绍了宋代“点茶”的艺术形式与历史影响、云南普洱茶因茶马古道走向世界的历程，以及茶作为文化载体连接中外友谊的价值。 【详解】29．第二段明确说明“White tea was often used to make the ‘clouds’ as white as the moonlight”，直接指出点茶中常用的茶类是白茶。 30．第三段明确标注时间“In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell ‘Yunnan Tuocha’ in Europe”，句中“the same year”指代前文的1976年，因此Fred Kempler于1976年开始在欧洲销售云南沱茶。 31．文中划线词所在句为“Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west.”，结合“from the east to the west”可知此处globally意为“全球地”。选项 B“The Olympic Games bring people together globally”意为奥运会将全球的人们聚集在一起，含义相同。 C If you spend hours watching short videos, you might find it hard to focus on a book or a long movie. Recent studies suggest that short videos are changing the way our brains work—and scientists are now discovering the chemical reasons behind it. In February 2026, a new study published in the journal Neurolmage (神经影像学杂志) revealed important findings about what happens inside our brains when we watch short videos. Researchers used brain scanning technology to watch the brains of 56 young adults as they scrolled through short videos. They found that when people watched videos they really liked, two key brain areas became less active. These areas—the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (背侧前扣带皮层) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (背外侧前额叶皮层)—help us control our attention and make plans. The study also discovered something new: a brain chemical called glutamate (谷氨酸) plays an important role. People with higher levels of glutamate showed less suppression in these brain areas, meaning they might be better at keeping self-control while watching videos. Another 2025 study from China found even more worrying results. Researchers examined brain scans of 111 people and discovered that those who watched too many short videos had structural changes in their brains. The “reward center” of their brains grew larger, making them more sensitive to the pleasure of videos. At the same time, the area responsible for self-control became less active. The study also linked this to over 500 genes related to brain development. So what does this mean for you? When you watch short videos, your brain gets used to quick changes and instant rewards. This makes it harder to focus on longer tasks like reading or studying. Your brain might even struggle to remember things because it’s trained to jump from one thing to another. But there is good news. The brain can change back. Research shows that after taking a break from short videos, their brain activity improved. The bad effects can be reversed. So, short videos are not all bad, but too many can make our brains lazy. We should find a balance between short videos and longer activities like reading books. 32．What do the two key brain areas help people do? A．Enjoy more pleasure. B．Control attention and make plans. C．Produce more glutamate. D．Change brain genes. 33．What advantage do people with higher glutamate levels have? A．They never get tired of videos. B．They have better self-control when watching videos. C．Their reward center becomes larger. D．They can remember things much better. 34．Which is one result of watching too many short videos? A．It is easier to focus on reading. B．The self-control brain area is more active. C．The brain’s reward center grows larger. D．Brain genes stop developing. 35．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Short videos change our brains and the bad effects can be reversed. B．How to improve our brain power in daily life. C．The introduction of two famous brain studies. D．Glutamate is the most important chemical in our brain. 【答案】32．B 33．B 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文介绍了多项科学研究，说明过度观看短视频会改变大脑结构与运作模式，削弱专注力和自控力，同时指出这类损伤可逆，建议大家合理把控刷视频的时长，做到劳逸结合。 【详解】32．文章第二段最后一句：“These areas...help us control our attention and make plans.”提到这两个关键脑区的作用是帮助人们控制注意力和制定计划。 33．文章第三段最后一句：“People with higher levels of glutamate...meaning they might be better at keeping self-control while watching videos.”提到谷氨酸水平高的人在观看视频时有更好的自控力。 34．文章第四段第三句：“The ‘reward center’ of their brains grew larger...”提到观看过多短视频的结果之一是大脑奖励中心变大。 35．文章围绕“短视频改变大脑运作”展开，介绍了相关研究发现的不良影响，同时说明不良影响是可以逆转的，A选项完整概括了核心内容。 D Hello there! I’m one of the Unitree G1 humanoid robots. Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart. ▲  Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance. Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world’s brightest stages, right on cue with my fellow robots. We were there to perform. At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us. At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move. Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then! Videos of this year’s show have gone viral online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. “It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film,” one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, “What will robots do next?” That question excites me. Because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones. And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education—performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, “I want to build something like that one day.” The gala was my debut. The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward. 36．Which of the following fits best in the ▲ ? A．I wasn’t built to sit quietly on a shelf. B．I was created in a large factory in China. C．People often believe robots are only cold machines. D．Many robots are built for display rather than action. 37．The drunken boxing move was designed to ________. A．test whether the robot could recover from a fall B．create a surprising moment for the audience C．show the robot’s control over its movements D．introduce the robot’s new performance style 38．How does the writer show the robots’ progress? A．By giving detailed numbers about their training. B．By comparing this year’s show with last year’s. C．By describing their appearance in a scientific way. D．By explaining how engineers improved the robots. 39．What can we infer from the passage? A．Robots will focus mostly on performing and teaching. B．Robots are already widely used in disaster rescue. C．Robots are becoming popular with young people. D．Robots may take on different kinds of social roles. 40．Why does the writer tell the story in the first person? A．To explain technical details more clearly. B．To make the story more personal and lively. C．To show how robots are controlled.

Its exciting performance at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala also 46 (impress) many people. This winter vacation, I went back to my hometown, Shantou, a place known for its rich culture and traditions. Luckily, I had the chance to watch Yingge dance up close. I stood on the street with many locals and visitors, 47 (wait) for the performers to arrive. Soon, a red flag with the words “Shengqian Yingge Team” led the way, followed by a big group of 48 (energy) dancers. The performers wore bright, colorful clothes and carried wooden sticks. I heard the sound of gongs (锣) and sticks. They moved their sticks skillfully, making them seem like part of their bodies. Sometimes, they shouted, making the performance even 49 (excited). The mix of music, movement, and sound brought joy to everyone. The biggest surprise was seeing my uncle dance! After the show, he told me that Yingge Dance came from old stories about heroes. We made the dance faster and the clothes more colorful to interest young people. I realized they weren’t just keeping the tradition, but also changing it for today. That’s why Shantou now has over 50 Yingge teams, many with 50 (teenage) members. By mixing old and new ideas, Yingge dance helps people love their culture and feel connected. Traditions can stay alive if we pass them on in creative ways. 【答案】46．impressed 47．waiting 48．energetic 49．more exciting 50．teenage 【导语】本文主要介绍了英歌舞通过创新传承传统文化，融合新旧元素吸引年轻人，增强文化认同感。 46．句意：它在2025年春晚的精彩表演也给许多人留下了深刻印象。主语是performance，表示第三人称单数，根据“at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala”可知，时态为过去时，因此用其过去式impressed。故填impressed。 47．句意：我和许多当地人与游客站在街上，等着表演者的到来。逗号后为非谓语动词作伴随状语，主语I与wait是主动关系，用现在分词waiting。故填waiting。 48．句意：很快，一面写着“盛前英歌队”的红旗引领着队伍，后面跟着一大群充满活力的舞者。根据“dancers”可知，此处表示充满活力的舞者。因此用其形容词energetic。故填energetic。 49．句意：有时，他们会呼喊，让表演显得更加激动人心。根据“the performance”可知，此处表示事物本身令人兴奋，应用exciting，空前有even修饰，应用形容词比较级。故填more exciting。 50．句意：这就是为什么汕头现在有50多支英歌队，其中许多队员是青少年。根据“members”可知，此处需用形容词形式teenage 故填teenage。 C)根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—5的相应位置上。注意：每个单词或短语只能用一次，有一个单词或短语是多余的。 trust   gifts   out of   difficulty   instead of   make a difference Have you ever wanted to know why some of your classmates learn harder and never give up easily? The answer lies in the Pygmalion Effect—a special mind power that turns people’s thoughts into real-life changes. It is said that once a man named Pygmalion made a sculpture of a woman 51 a stone. He strongly believed that the woman would come to life and became his wife. His dream did come true at last! This tale explains how hopes influence results—if you 52 your ability, you can work harder to achieve success. For example, in a study, a teacher told some non-top students that they had 53 for Math and Science. By the end of the term, those students’ test scores improved a lot because of the teacher’s strong trust. Similarly, encouragements in our daily life also 54 . “You’re a great teammate!” or “You can do this!” will push you to try harder. Remember that your mind is like a garden. Plant “I can try” 55 “I can’t”. Water it with efforts and over time, just as Pygmalion’s strong wish brought the stone to be alive, your efforts will grow into something beautiful. 【答案】51．out of 52．trust 53．gifts 54．make a difference 55．instead of 【导语】本文主要介绍了皮格马利翁效应。 51．句意：据说，一个名叫皮格马利翁的人用石头雕刻了一个女人像。根据“made a sculpture of a woman…a stone”可知，此处表示用石头雕刻，out of表示“用……材料制成”。故填out of。 52．句意：这个故事解释了希望如何影响结果——如果你相信你的能力，你就会更努力，然后取得成功。根据“if you…your ability, you can work harder to achieve success”以及后文提到老师的信任让学生成绩提升，可知这里是说要相信自己的能力，trust表示“信任”，此句主语是you，时态为一般现在时，谓语动词用原形。故填trust。 53．句意：例如，在一项研究中，老师告诉非顶尖学生，他们在数学和科学方面有天赋。根据“they had…for Math and Science”以及后文提到这些学生成绩得到提升，由此说明老师认为他们有天赋，gift“天赋”，此处主语是they，因此用名词复数形式。故填gifts。 54．句意：同样，日常生活中的鼓励也会产生影响。根据“encouragements in our daily life also…”以及前文提到老师的信任带来改变，此处需表达“鼓励同样能产生影响”，make a difference表示“产生影响”，主语是复数，时态为一般现在时，动词使用原形。故填make a difference。 55．句意：种下“我可以试试”而不是“我不可以”。根据“I can try”和“I can’t”可知，前后为对立观点，需填入表替代的短语，instead of“而不是”，符合对比逻辑。故填instead of。 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第56-63小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第64-65小题。将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65的相应横线上。 注意：第56-63小题每个空格只填1个单词；第64-65小题词数不限。 Every year on the 13th day of the first lunar month, a small village named Majie in Baofeng County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, becomes a busy cultural gathering place. It’s the Majie Book Fair, which was included in the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2006 and has a long past of over 700 years, known as one of China’s “Top 10 Folk Customs” that carries rich traditional culture. As the sun rises gently, Majie’s fields and roads are crowded with hundreds of thousands of people from nearby towns and villages. Thousands of folk storytellers from across the country gather here with their musical tools, such as drums and stringed instruments. The loud drumbeats and gentle string music fill the air, and different kinds of folk arts mix together harmoniously, turning the wide wheat fields into a large outdoor theater full of energy and vitality. In fact, the fair is a special folk art event held in the wheat fields, an important carrier of Chinese folk art. Storytellers bring various wonderful shows, such as long stories and short skits, and buyers “get” the joy of performances for village temple fairs or family celebrations in the coming year. Local families are kind and warm-hearted, offering free food and accommodation (住宿) to the storytellers, making them feel at home in this strange village. Storytellers travel thousands of miles to come here for a good chance to make money and support their families. Majie is also a “holy land” (圣地) for them to communicate, share ideas and gain experience from each other. Hundreds of thousands of local people come for pleasure after the Spring Festival, and small vendors set up stalls to sell delicious food and interesting toys from local areas, making the fair more lively and attractive.

But the saying doesn’t tell the whole story. I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover. But please don’t miss the cover either. The cover is the f 67 thing you see. Everything on the cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to make you want to buy and read the book. The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important p 68 . The cover tells you the title and the writer’s name. Sometimes that’s enough to make you pick it up. On the b 69 , you can find a short summary (总结) of the story, and maybe some reviews. The picture, colors, and fonts (字体) also give you an idea of what the book is about. As a writer, I know how important a good cover is. Several years ago, I p 70 a book called “Under the Almond Trees”. I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover. I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. But later, I realized s 71 was missing. I liked the blue sky, the flowers on the trees and the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” So I asked a 72 designer to do it again. I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her new design was s 73 . The almond trees, the blue sky and flowers were still t 74 . But the colors and fonts were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was a success. It was even chosen as a finalist in a cover design competition! So whether you are t 75 to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging happens. Readers decide whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. As a result, it’s important to remember that the cover matters. 【答案】 66．appearance/ppearance 67．first/irst 68．part/art 69．back/ack 70．published/ublished 71．something/omething 72．another/nother 73．successful/uccessful 74．there/here 75．taught/aught/told/old 【导语】本文围绕“不要以貌取人”这一俗语展开，作者通过自身出版书籍设计封面的亲身经历，说明封面虽不能代表书的全部价值，但封面设计同样重要，不可忽视。 【详解】66．句意：它的意思是你不应该仅凭外表来判断某物的价值。该处需一个名词，在句中作介词“by”的宾语。前文提到“Don’t judge a book by its cover”，即不要凭封面判断，此处说明不应仅凭“外表”来判断。结合首字母“a”，应填appearance。 67．句意：封面是你看到的第一个东西。该处需一个序数词，在句中作定语修饰名词“thing”。根据语境，拿起一本书时首先看到的就是封面，强调“第一”。结合首字母“f”，应填first。 68．句意：封面只是书的一部分，但它是重要的一部分。该处需一个名词，在句中作表语，前有不定冠词“an”和形容词“important”修饰。前文已提到“The cover is only part of the book”，此处再次强调封面是重要的“部分”。结合首字母“p”，应填part。 69．句意：在背面，你可以找到故事的简短总结，也许还有一些评论。该处需一个名词，在句中作介词“On”的宾语。前文提到“front and back”，前文说了正面（front），此处自然是“背面”。结合首字母“b”，应填back。 70．句意：几年前，我出版了一本名为《杏仁树下》的书。该处需一个动词，在句中作谓语，主语是“I”。根据时间状语“Several years ago”可知应用一般过去时。作者作为写书人，自然是“出版”了一本书。结合首字母“p”，应填published。 71．句意：但后来，我意识到有些东西缺失了。该处需一个代词，在句中作主语。根据后文“I liked the blue sky, the flowers on the trees and the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream...”可知作者觉得缺少了某种东西，但又说不清楚。结合首字母“s”，应填something。 72．句意：所以我请另一位设计师重新做。该处需一个形容词，在句中作定语修饰名词“designer”。前文已有一位设计师做了封面，但效果不理想，因此请“另一位”设计师重做。结合首字母“a”，应填another。 73．句意：她的新设计是成功的。该处需一个形容词，在句中作表语。根据后文“The almond trees, the blue sky and flowers were still there.

It lives more than 3 kilometers under the Pacific Ocean. But if you were imagining a large, 6 creature, you’d be wrong. One researcher even called it “adorable”. These snailfish are strange little creatures. They have big heads and jelly-like bodies. There are no scales on their loose skin. Many have a special disc on their bellies. It lets them 7 onto the sea floor, or even catch a ride on an animal like a crab. Some snailfish live in shallow areas of the ocean. They curl up on rocks like a snail. 8 live in the deep ocean. To explore the deep sea, scientists 9 a small submarine and a robot. The robot’s cameras spotted a pink snailfish about the size of a deck of cards. The team also found two other unusual snailfish. One was very black and the other was long and thin. One scientist said, “Studying these tiny deep-sea fish shows how 10 we know about the ocean.

Experts believe there are between 8 and 14 million, but right now we only know about 1.5 million. However, scientists 12 new plant and animal species (物种) all the time—and that’s good news for us. In 2009, a university professor 13 Christopher Austin and his student Eric Rittmeyer discovered a new animal species. They were in Papua New Guinea, studying the wildlife on the island. One evening, they were in the jungle listening to animal sounds. The most common sound was the noise of frogs croaking loudly. But there was another sound—a much softer, high-pitched one that sounded like it came from something much smaller. At first, they couldn’t locate the sound, but after some time, they realized it came from the ground. They searched through the grass and dead leaves carefully, but what they found surprised them. It was a tiny frog just seven millimeters (毫米) long. “This frog has a call 14 doesn’t sound like a frog at all,” said Austin. The frog they discovered was the smallest in the world! Researchers believe that frogs are important because they help keep the environment clean. We can also use them to create new medicines. Whenever we find a new species, we learn new things. For that reason, scientists work very hard to find new plants and animals every day. But their jobs are getting more difficult. The forests that these animals live in are disappearing quickly.

I planted it in a corner of the garden and 17 it daily.     Weeks passed, then months. 18 appeared above the soil. I began to feel disappointed. “Maybe it’s dead,” I told my grandfather. He simply smiled and said, “Some things require faith and 19 .” Though I didn’t want to, I still kept watering the empty patch of earth every day. A year later, a tiny green shoot finally came out. It grew slowly—painfully slowly. During my secondary school years, that plant became a symbol of my own 20 . There were times I wanted to give up on both the plant and myself, especially when there was too much pressure. But remembering my grandfather’s words, I kept going. Five years after planting, it finally bloomed. The sight took my breath away: a fantastic tree peony with flowers as large as dinner plates. All those years of 21 finally paid off! My grandfather 22 the following spring, but he left me with more than just a beautiful plant. He taught me that the most 23 things in life—character, wisdom, meaningful relationships—all need time and patience to mature.

Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favourites. In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha”. Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked (搅打) with water into soft “clouds”. White tea was often used to make the “clouds” as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since 1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er Tuocha has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity (永恒). Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west. Each cup of Pu’er, with the smell of sunshine, turns tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. 29．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the passage? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 30．When did Fred Kempler begin to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe? A．In 1986. B．In 1976. C．In 1279. D．In 960. 31．Which sentence uses “globally” with the same meaning as the underlined word? Globally /'gləʊbəli/ adv. ①全球地  ②全面地  ③总体而言，整体地 A．Globally, our class did well in the English test. B．The Olympic Games bring people together globally. C．The story is globally interesting though some parts are slow. D．This maths question needs you to consider the numbers globally. C If you spend hours watching short videos, you might find it hard to focus on a book or a long movie. Recent studies suggest that short videos are changing the way our brains work—and scientists are now discovering the chemical reasons behind it. In February 2026, a new study published in the journal Neurolmage (神经影像学杂志) revealed important findings about what happens inside our brains when we watch short videos. Researchers used brain scanning technology to watch the brains of 56 young adults as they scrolled through short videos. They found that when people watched videos they really liked, two key brain areas became less active. These areas—the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (背侧前扣带皮层) and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (背外侧前额叶皮层)—help us control our attention and make plans. The study also discovered something new: a brain chemical called glutamate (谷氨酸) plays an important role. People with higher levels of glutamate showed less suppression in these brain areas, meaning they might be better at keeping self-control while watching videos. Another 2025 study from China found even more worrying results. Researchers examined brain scans of 111 people and discovered that those who watched too many short videos had structural changes in their brains. The “reward center” of their brains grew larger, making them more sensitive to the pleasure of videos. At the same time, the area responsible for self-control became less active. The study also linked this to over 500 genes related to brain development. So what does this mean for you? When you watch short videos, your brain gets used to quick changes and instant rewards. This makes it harder to focus on longer tasks like reading or studying. Your brain might even struggle to remember things because it’s trained to jump from one thing to another. But there is good news. The brain can change back. Research shows that after taking a break from short videos, their brain activity improved. The bad effects can be reversed. So, short videos are not all bad, but too many can make our brains lazy. We should find a balance between short videos and longer activities like reading books. 32．What do the two key brain areas help people do? A．Enjoy more pleasure. B．Control attention and make plans. C．Produce more glutamate. D．Change brain genes. 33．What advantage do people with higher glutamate levels have? A．They never get tired of videos. B．They have better self-control when watching videos. C．Their reward center becomes larger. D．They can remember things much better. 34．Which is one result of watching too many short videos? A．It is easier to focus on reading. B．The self-control brain area is more active. C．The brain’s reward center grows larger. D．Brain genes stop developing. 35．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Short videos change our brains and the bad effects can be reversed. B．How to improve our brain power in daily life. C．The introduction of two famous brain studies. D．Glutamate is the most important chemical in our brain. D Hello there! I’m one of the Unitree G1 humanoid robots. Let me tell you my story, straight from my own metal-and-motor heart. ▲  Since day one, engineers at Unitree dreamed big: robots that could balance, sprint, leap and adapt. They gave me LiDAR, depth cameras and advanced motion control systems, and taught me how to stand firm, walk steadily, and finally dance. Robots like me practised hard before the night of 16 February, when hundreds of millions tuned in to watch the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. Then came the moment. I stepped onto one of the world’s brightest stages, right on cue with my fellow robots. We were there to perform. At one point, I leapt into the air and flipped before landing squarely on my feet. The audience watched in awe before breaking into applause. Some of us even performed moves inspired by kung fu—all while children shared the stage with us. At one dramatic moment, one of us suddenly fell flat on his back. Just as the audience began to wonder what was happening, he rose smoothly to his feet. It turned out to be a trick—a classic drunken boxing move. Last year, robots first appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, twirling handkerchiefs and performing simple movements. We’ve improved a lot since then! Videos of this year’s show have gone viral online. People replay the flips. They slow down the kicks. “It looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film,” one comment reads. At the same time, they ask, “What will robots do next?” That question excites me. Because the gala stage is only the beginning. In the future, robots like me may work in places where people need extra hands, such as care settings and disaster zones. And of course, some of us may remain in entertainment and education—performing, teaching, inspiring curiosity in children who look at us and think, “I want to build something like that one day.” The gala was my debut. The future is my next stage. And I am ready to step forward. 36．Which of the following fits best in the ▲ ? A．I wasn’t built to sit quietly on a shelf. B．I was created in a large factory in China. C．People often believe robots are only cold machines. D．Many robots are built for display rather than action. 37．The drunken boxing move was designed to ________. A．test whether the robot could recover from a fall B．create a surprising moment for the audience C．show the robot’s control over its movements D．introduce the robot’s new performance style 38．How does the writer show the robots’ progress? A．By giving detailed numbers about their training. B．By comparing this year’s show with last year’s. C．By describing their appearance in a scientific way. D．By explaining how engineers improved the robots. 39．What can we infer from the passage? A．Robots will focus mostly on performing and teaching. B．Robots are already widely used in disaster rescue. C．Robots are becoming popular with young people. D．Robots may take on different kinds of social roles. 40．Why does the writer tell the story in the first person? A．To explain technical details more clearly. B．To make the story more personal and lively. C．To show how robots are controlled. D．To present the gala in a relaxed tone. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共50分） 四、填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使短文意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41-45的相应横线上。 The new term has started at Sunshine Middle School. Our school has added some interesting courses this year. I’m most excited about 41 (化学) class, because we will do lots of cool experiments in the lab. During the break, you can always see students running and talking loudly in the 42 (走廊). It’s dangerous and may cause accidents. So our teachers tell us that we should 43 (表现) well both in and out of class. Good manners are important for everyone. Last month, our class watched a video about children in mountain villages. They 44 (遭受) from a lack(缺乏) of food and warm clothes during the cold winters there. We were all deeply touched. We decided to help them and collected many things for them. Helping others makes us become more 45 (真诚的). I feel really happy when I know I can make someone’s day better. B) 请根据短文意思，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为46-50的相应横线上。 In recent years, we have learned a lot about Yingge dance from social media. Its exciting performance at the 2025 Spring Festival Gala also 46 (impress) many people. This winter vacation, I went back to my hometown, Shantou, a place known for its rich culture and traditions. Luckily, I had the chance to watch Yingge dance up close. I stood on the street with many locals and visitors, 47 (wait) for the performers to arrive. Soon, a red flag with the words “Shengqian Yingge Team” led the way, followed by a big group of 48 (energy) dancers. The performers wore bright, colorful clothes and carried wooden sticks. I heard the sound of gongs (锣) and sticks. They moved their sticks skillfully, making them seem like part of their bodies. Sometimes, they shouted, making the performance even 49 (excited). The mix of music, movement, and sound brought joy to everyone. The biggest surprise was seeing my uncle dance! After the show, he told me that Yingge Dance came from old stories about heroes. We made the dance faster and the clothes more colorful to interest young people. I realized they weren’t just keeping the tradition, but also changing it for today. That’s why Shantou now has over 50 Yingge teams, many with 50 (teenage) members. By mixing old and new ideas, Yingge dance helps people love their culture and feel connected. Traditions can stay alive if we pass them on in creative ways. C)根据短文内容，从下面方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空，使短文内容完整正确，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—5的相应位置上。注意：每个单词或短语只能用一次，有一个单词或短语是多余的。 trust   gifts   out of   difficulty   instead of   make a difference Have you ever wanted to know why some of your classmates learn harder and never give up easily? The answer lies in the Pygmalion Effect—a special mind power that turns people’s thoughts into real-life changes. It is said that once a man named Pygmalion made a sculpture of a woman 51 a stone. He strongly believed that the woman would come to life and became his wife. His dream did come true at last! This tale explains how hopes influence results—if you 52 your ability, you can work harder to achieve success. For example, in a study, a teacher told some non-top students that they had 53 for Math and Science. By the end of the term, those students’ test scores improved a lot because of the teacher’s strong trust. Similarly, encouragements in our daily life also 54 . “You’re a great teammate!” or “You can do this!” will push you to try harder. Remember that your mind is like a garden. Plant “I can try” 55 “I can’t”. Water it with efforts and over time, just as Pygmalion’s strong wish brought the stone to be alive, your efforts will grow into something beautiful. 五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分） A) 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在短文后表格中第56-63小题的空格里填入最恰当的单词，回答第64-65小题。将答案填写在答题卡标号为56-65的相应横线上。 注意：第56-63小题每个空格只填1个单词；第64-65小题词数不限。 Every year on the 13th day of the first lunar month, a small village named Majie in Baofeng County, Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, becomes a busy cultural gathering place. It’s the Majie Book Fair, which was included in the first batch of National Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2006 and has a long past of over 700 years, known as one of China’s “Top 10 Folk Customs” that carries rich traditional culture. As the sun rises gently, Majie’s fields and roads are crowded with hundreds of thousands of people from nearby towns and villages. Thousands of folk storytellers from across the country gather here with their musical tools, such as drums and stringed instruments. The loud drumbeats and gentle string music fill the air, and different kinds of folk arts mix together harmoniously, turning the wide wheat fields into a large outdoor theater full of energy and vitality. In fact, the fair is a special folk art event held in the wheat fields, an important carrier of Chinese folk art. Storytellers bring various wonderful shows, such as long stories and short skits, and buyers “get” the joy of performances for village temple fairs or family celebrations in the coming year. Local families are kind and warm-hearted, offering free food and accommodation (住宿) to the storytellers, making them feel at home in this strange village. Storytellers travel thousands of miles to come here for a good chance to make money and support their families. Majie is also a “holy land” (圣地) for them to communicate, share ideas and gain experience from each other. Hundreds of thousands of local people come for pleasure after the Spring Festival, and small vendors set up stalls to sell delicious food and interesting toys from local areas, making the fair more lively and attractive. As a precious (珍贵的) cultural heritage of China, the Majie Book Fair is not just a trade of performances and money, but also a precious reminder of the land’s emotion (情感) and people’s memories. It also shows the unique (独特的) beauty of traditional art and the sincere kindness between local people and artists, becoming a unique and precious part of Chinese folk culture that has been passed down for centuries. 56 ● Majie Book Fair, one of China’s “Top 10 Folk Customs”, has 57 for over 700 years. ●It is held on the 13th day of the first lunar month in a small village in Henan. ●Thousands of folk storytellers from all over China gather here with their musical tools. ●The quiet village becomes full of energy and turns into a large outdoor theater.

But the saying doesn’t tell the whole story. I agree that you shouldn’t judge a book only by its cover. But please don’t miss the cover either. The cover is the f 67 thing you see. Everything on the cover, front and back, is purposefully designed to make you want to buy and read the book. The cover is only part of the book, but it’s an important p 68 . The cover tells you the title and the writer’s name. Sometimes that’s enough to make you pick it up. On the b 69 , you can find a short summary (总结) of the story, and maybe some reviews. The picture, colors, and fonts (字体) also give you an idea of what the book is about. As a writer, I know how important a good cover is. Several years ago, I p 70 a book called “Under the Almond Trees”. I asked a cover designer to use an old photo as the model for the cover. I wanted color rather than black and white, though. I was very happy with the result. But later, I realized s 71 was missing. I liked the blue sky, the flowers on the trees and the color of the font, but the feel just didn’t scream, “Pick me up!” So I asked a 72 designer to do it again. I remember telling her that I liked the design, but something was off. Her new design was s 73 . The almond trees, the blue sky and flowers were still t 74 . But the colors and fonts were better. It was nothing I could have described, but the new cover was a success. It was even chosen as a finalist in a cover design competition! So whether you are t 75 to judge a book by its cover or not, I know such judging happens. Readers decide whether to pick up a book or not based on the cover information. As a result, it’s important to remember that the cover matters. 六、书面表达（共1小题；满分15分） 76．英语校刊 TEENS 正在进行“初中生是否可以在学习中使用 AI技术”的问卷调查。请根据下列调查表的内容做出自己的选择，并依据你的选择用英语写一篇短文，表达你的想法。 A survey on the use of AI in learning Should junior high school students use AI technology in learning?
