专题03 任务型阅读（北京专用） Passage 1 （2026·北京·二模）There’s been talk about how social media is bad for you, but a year ago, I created an account on a new photo-sharing platform, and the results have been positive. The platform’s photo-centric nature caught my eye, and so I decided to share my photos. I set clear rules—one post per day, first thing each morning, with a thought-out, detailed blurb (配图文字). The blurb serves as a warm-up exercise for my brain. More importantly, it’s like public journaling, an offering of connection. To make it interactive, I follow 10 people per day. After a year, I have gained more than 2,500 followers, and I do my best to like their posts. It’s not just politeness; I’m following people with wonderful galleries. As I grew more confident in my photos and writing, I followed anyone with a good eye. Perhaps a simple, uniting force—like a nice photo—could help us understand and accept one another. The feedback so far has been wonderful, and even on days when I felt down, I could always “like” eye-catching photos. Oh, to be inspired while feeling depressed! A year earlier, I thought it wasn’t possible. I’ve consciously (有意识地) followed others with mental health challenges, like me, and those who celebrate hiking as a means of connecting with nature. Their posts remind me that I am not alone. One post of a canyon (峡谷) inspired a road trip to Oregon’s High Desert. In my blurb, I noted that someone on the platform motivated me to make the trip. Later, there came a comment that read: “I remember you commenting on my post last fall. Glad you made it!” Through the platform, I’ve had a window to the world. I can’t experience it all in person, but the platform offers something more personal than browsing (浏览) National Geographic: I visit the desert, the ocean, a mountain within 60 seconds. I see river views from someone’s unsteady hands. A few times each day, I am outside myself, inspired. 1．Why did the writer decide to share photos on the platform? 2．When did the writer begin to follow anyone with a good eye? 3．What did the writer do after reading the post of a canyon? 4．Do you like sharing your daily life online? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons) 【答案】1．Because the platform’s photo-centric nature caught the writer’s/his/her eye. 2．As the writer/he/she grew more confident in his/her photos and writing. 3．The writer/He/She made a (road) trip to Oregon’s High Desert. 4．Yes, I do. Because sharing my daily life online allows me to keep in touch with my friends and family who live far away. It also helps me record the beautiful moments in my life that I might forget later. 【导语】本文讲述了作者一年前在一个新的照片分享平台注册账号并坚持分享照片的经历，通过这个平台，作者不仅收获了2500多名粉丝，还获得了灵感、看到了更广阔的世界，并与有相似经历的人建立了联系。 1．第一段直接指出“The platform’s photo-centric nature caught my eye,and so I decided to share my photos.”，这是原文的直接信息。 2．第三段明确提到“As I grew more confident in my photos and writing,I followed anyone with a good eye.”，这是原文的直接信息。 3．第四段直接说明“One post of a canyon inspired a road trip to Oregon’s High Desert.”，这是原文的直接信息。 4．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，观点明确且给出至少两个合理的理由即可。 Passage 2 （2026·北京大兴·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Rhetorical devices (修辞手法) are special writing and speaking skills that help express ideas better, persuade readers, or arouse feelings. They help people organize their arguments, make statements easy to remember, and connect with their audience. Here are three types of rhetorical devices. 1 Simile Have you ever wanted to paint a picture with words? That’s where simile comes in. It’s a powerful tool to create vivid (生动的) imagery and make their writing more engaging (引人入胜的). At its heart, a simile is a comparison between two different things using the words “like” or “as” to show a shared quality. Here are a few quick examples to get you started: ◆ He eats like a horse. ◆ Her smile was bright like the sun. ◆ The lake was as smooth as a mirror. Writers use similes to paint a picture in the reader’s mind and to make their writing more interesting and memorable. 2 Personification Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities or characteristics are given to inanimate objects, animals, ideas, or forces of nature. It’s not simply describing something; it’s giving it a personality. It’s a way to make descriptions more vivid, relatable, and engaging. Here are a few quick examples: ◆ The wind hugs the trees softly. ◆ The sun smiled down on us. ◆ Opportunity knocked at her door. Personification helps readers picture scenes and ideas more clearly by presenting them in a more human and understandable way. 3 Parallelism Parallelism is a powerful tool to create rhythm, stress ideas, and make the writing more memorable. It is the use of similar grammatical structures to express related ideas. The key is that all parts are presented in a balanced and symmetrical (对称的) way. Here are a few quick examples: ◆ She likes hiking, biking, and swimming. ◆ Believe in yourself, believe in your effort, believe in your future. ◆ She was a woman of courage, a woman of strength, and a woman of vision. Repetition draws attention to important ideas; balanced and symmetrical phrases are easier to remember. 1．What words does a simile use to compare two different things? 2．Which rhetorical device does the sentence “The sun smiled down on us.” use? 3．What is the key of parallelism? 4．Which rhetorical device will you use to praise your favorite teacher? Please write at least two sentences using the device. 【答案】1．Like or as. 2．Personification. 3．All parts are presented in a balanced and symmetrical way. 4．I will use simile. You are like a candle. You light up our future.（答案不唯一，合理作答即可） 【导语】本文主要介绍了三种常见的修辞手法：明喻、拟人和排比，分别阐述了它们的定义、作用并举例说明。 1．文章第1部分“At its heart, a simile is a comparison between two different things using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’ to show a shared quality.”表明明喻使用“like”或“as”来进行比较。答案为原文信息，直接引述。 2．文章第2部分“Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities or characteristics are given to inanimate objects, animals, ideas, or forces of nature.”表明将人类特质赋予非人类事物的修辞手法是拟人。答案为原文信息，直接引述。 3．文章第3部分“The key is that all parts are presented in a balanced and symmetrical way.”表明排比的核心特征是所有部分以平衡对称的方式呈现。答案为原文信息，直接引述。 4．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合文章内容以及自身实际情况，合理作答即可。 Passage 3 （2026·北京石景山·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On a cool Saturday morning, instead of sleeping in, a group of teenagers gather at the park. They stretch (伸展), laugh, and get ready to run. But they're not just going for a jog, they're going plogging. Plogging is a fitness activity that connects jogging with picking up litter. The name comes from the Swedish words meaning “pick up” and “jog”. It may sound simple, but this small idea has grown into a global movement. For many teens, it's more than exercise — it’s a way to protect the environment and make a difference. As they run along the road, they would slow down whenever they see litter, like an empty bottle or a candy box. They bend, stretch, take the rubbish, and keep moving. Without even noticing it, they’re doing extra moves like bends, turning an ordinary run into a full-body workout. By the end, their legs feel stronger and their bags are filled with rubbish. But the best part isn’t just the workout, but the sense of fulfillment (满足). When you see a cleaner park because of your effort, you’ll have a great sense of satisfaction. It reminds teens that they are not too young to make changes. Every piece of litter picked up is a small victory for the planet. Plogging also brings people together. Teens challenge each other to collect the most litter, and in this way they make plogging more motivating (有动力的). Some classes organize plogging events as service projects. Others share their experiences on social media to encourage more people to join. What starts as a simple run becomes an important job or responsibility. In a world facing pollution and weather problems, it’s easy to feel helpless. But plogging shows even small actions matter. Every bottle picked up, every wrapper removed, adds up. You’re not just exercising — you’re making your park, your street, and your city cleaner. You can have fun doing it, with friends cheering you on or discovering new ways to make a difference. So wear your sports shoes, grab a rubbish bag, and see how much change you can create. 1．What is “plogging”? 2．What is the best part about plogging according to the passage? 3．How do teens make plogging more motivating? 4．Would you like to try plogging in your free time? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．It is a fitness activity that connects jogging with picking up litter. 2．The sense of fulfillment. 3．By challenging each other to collect the most litter. 4．Yes, I would. Because it can help me keep healthy and protect the environment. (答案不唯一，言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项名为“plogging”（跑步捡垃圾）的健身活动，它将慢跑与捡垃圾结合起来，不仅能锻炼身体，还能保护环境，给人们带来满足感。 1．根据文章第2段“Plogging is a fitness activity that connects jogging with picking up litter.”明确提到Plogging是一项将慢跑与捡垃圾结合起来的健身活动。 2．根据文章第4段“But the best part isn’t just the workout, but the sense of fulfillment (满足).”提到关于plogging最棒的部分是满足感。 3．根据文章第5段“Teens challenge each other to collect the most litter, and in this way they make plogging more motivating (有动力的).”提到青少年通过互相挑战收集最多的垃圾来让plogging更有动力。 4．本题为开放性问题，要求回答是否愿意在空闲时间尝试plogging并给出两个理由。可以结合文章内容回答愿意，理由可以是锻炼身体和保护环境等，答案不唯一，言之有理即可。 Passage 4 （2026·北京丰台·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 “Why are people so unfriendly?” I used to ask myself this after daily walks. In this short-video age, I felt people had forgotten how to communicate face to face. Didn’t they realize that talking to strangers can make life a little happier? One day, my partner grew tired of my complaints and said, “Maybe it’s you.” Impossible, I thought. Just that morning, I had looked right at someone and didn’t even get a “hello” back. So rude! But then I realized maybe I needed to push myself to take the first step. I started by saying “hello” to dog owners, because they usually seem friendly. To my surprise, it worked. Most of them smiled back or even stopped for a short chat. It made me so happy and helped me realize that starting a conversation is easy and can brighten both people’s day. Encouraged, I started greeting people who made eye contact (接触) with me. Later I even said “good day” to people who didn’t look at me. Most of the time, I got friendly replies. Then I moved on to people talking on the phone. At first, I worried about bothering (打扰) them, but I tried anyway. Some people ignored (忽视) me, but I didn’t give up. Finally, someone stopped to say “hi”. This taught me that taking the first step can bridge the distance between strangers and completely change how they respond. As time went by, I noticed people were getting friendlier. Or maybe they hadn’t changed — it was I who had changed. Now, I usually say “hello” whether people look at me or not. Even if they ignore me, it doesn’t matter. These small friendly acts improved my mood and turned a lonely walk into a pleasant one. This habit has also spread beyond my walks. When talking to strangers, I don’t expect lifelong friends, just small moments of connection. It’s simple: Treat others the way you want to be treated. After all, someone has to make the first move. 1．Why did the writer think people were rude that morning? 2．How did the writer feel when strangers smiled or even chatted with him? 3．What does the writer expect when talking to strangers? 4．At a new school, would you like to take the first step to meet new classmates and make new friends? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons.) 【答案】1．Because he looked at someone but didn’t get a “hello” back. 2．He felt so happy. 3． He expects just small moments of connection. 1．Yes, I would. Because it helps me make friends quickly and makes me feel less lonely. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者起初抱怨路人冷漠，后尝试主动打招呼并发现主动沟通能改善心情和人际关系，从而领悟到主动迈出第一步重要性的经历。 1．根据文章第2段“Just that morning, I had looked right at someone and didn’t even get a “hello” back.”可推知，作者觉得对方粗鲁是因为没有得到回应。 2．根据文章第3段“It made me so happy and helped me realize that starting a conversation is easy and can brighten both people’s day.”可推知，作者感到很开心。 3．根据文章第6段“When talking to strangers, I don’t expect lifelong friends, just small moments of connection.”可推知，作者期待短暂的联系。 4．本题为开放性问题，需表明态度并给出两点理由，言之有理即可。结合文章主旨，主动交流有益。 Passage 5 （2026·北京昌平·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Not long ago, thrifting (淘二手货) was seen as “shameful” by many. But now, second-hand clothes have become a “cool must-have”. In just ten years, thrifting has gone from a small hobby in local communities to a new style that can compete with fast fashion. People’s ideas toward thrifting have changed. Eve Perez, a 21-year-old who once felt strange shopping at thrift stores, recalls that something began to change five years ago, when social media became popular. She noticed people’s views on buying and wearing used clothes were different. Now, young people feel that thrifting is a “treasure hunt” to find things that show their personality. Historians also point out that young people often want to be different from the older generation through fashion. Together with their friends, they’ve turned early 2000s clothing into cool looks from the past. Social media is a big driving force in making thrifting popular. Apps like TikTok are flooded with ThriftHaul videos, where users show off their “finds” from thrift stores. Caring about the environment is another big reason. More and more people are realizing how fast fashion harms the environment. Thrifting helps cut down on waste. The thrifting fever has opened up chances for people. Alex Chen, a college student, started selling old band T-shirts on an app. In six months, he got over 5,000 followers and made enough money to pay his tuition (学费). Many sellers also sell second-hand products in physical thrift stores. “People share their love for special things there,” says Sofia Martinez, who runs such a store. Thrifting is no longer just about saving money. It’s a cultural movement. As young people continue to accept it, this industry is expected to keep growing, showing that what’s old can truly become new again. 1．How do young people feel about thrifting now? 2．What are the driving forces making thrifting popular? 3．Besides apps, where do people sell their second-hand products? 4．Which one of the following—a key, a bridge, or a window—do you think best describes what thrifting means to young people today? Explain why you choose it. (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．They feel it is cool and like a treasure hunt. 2．Social media and caring about the environment are the driving forces. 3．They sell them in physical thrift stores. 4．I think it is a key. Because it brings people chances to earn money and helps reduce environmental waste. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了二手购物在年轻人中从被视为“羞耻”转变为“酷”的现象，分析了社交媒体和环保意识等推动因素，以及它带来的经济机会和文化影响。 1．根据第一段“second-hand clothes have become a cool must-have”和第二段“Now, young people feel that thrifting is a 'treasure hunt”可知，年轻人现在觉得很酷且像寻宝。答案将这两点整合为“They feel it is cool and like a treasure hunt.” 2．根据第三段“Social media is a big driving force in making thrifting popular... Caring about the environment is another big reason”可知，推动流行的力量是社交媒体和环保。答案将这两点整合为“Social media and caring about the environment are the driving forces.” 3．根据第四段“Many sellers also sell second-hand products in physical thrift stores”可知，除了应用程序外，人们还在实体店销售。直接提取答案即可。 4．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。结合文章内容和自己的看法、理由，合理作答即可。 Passage 6 （2026·北京房山·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. In the past, most families prepared the dinner at home, with everyone gathering in the kitchen. Nowadays, however, more and more people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant. Some people think eating out is a good choice because it saves people the trouble of cooking and cleaning up. After working all year, people can relax and spend quality time with their family. Besides, eating out does not mean losing traditions, as family members still get together in a different way. Wang Peng, a software engineer, supports eating out. His family has eaten out for the Spring Festival dinner for the past three years and enjoyed it as much as eating at home. Without tiring cooking, the dinner becomes more enjoyable, and the dishes also taste better. In his opinion, what or where they eat does not matter; the love among family members remains the same. However, some people prefer to have the Spring Festival dinner at home. Liu Yonghui, a retired (退休的) teacher, is one of them. For him, it just won’t feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out. When he was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what he looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that he seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have the whole family gather together. He used to run around the house, listen to adults chatting, and watch his mother make dumplings with special fillings inside: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy life. The whole family would sit around the table, talking and laughing happily. To him, simple home-cooked dishes always taste better than restaurant food. He hopes his children and grandchildren will still value the memories of preparing the dinner together. He believes that the preparation for the dinner is even more important than the dinner itself. Whether people choose to eat at home or in a restaurant, the spirit of the Spring Festival dinner never changes. What truly matters is not the place, but the warmth of being together and the love that connects family members. 1．What is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival? 2．Why do some people consider eating out a good choice? 3．What does Liu Yonghui think is more important than the dinner itself? 4．Do you think we should have the Spring Festival dinner at home or in a restaurant? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．A family dinner. 2．Because it saves people the trouble of cooking and cleaning up. 3． The preparation for the dinner. 1．I think we should have it at home. First, preparing together creates memories. Second, home-cooked dishes taste better. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了人们庆祝春节聚餐选择在家还是在餐厅的不同观点及理由，强调了团聚和爱才是春节聚餐的核心。 1．根据第一段：“A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival.”，庆祝春节的重要传统是家庭聚餐。答案是原文直接信息。 2．根据第二段：“Some people think eating out is a good choice because it saves people the trouble of cooking and cleaning up.”，可有些人认为外出就餐好是因为省去了做饭和清理的麻烦。这是原文信息，直接提取。 3．根据第六段：“He believes that the preparation for the dinner is even more important than the dinner itself.”，刘永辉认为晚餐的准备比晚餐本身更重要。答案直接引述原文。 4．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。可根据文中支持在家或在外就餐的理由作答。若支持在家，可引用文中关于传统和准备过程的描述；若支持在外，可引用文中关于节省精力和放松的描述。 Passage 7 （2026·北京朝阳·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When I was a child, my mother would say, “Go outside and play.” And I would, with all the other kids in the neighborhood. We learned a lot about nature and ourselves by playing outside. A few years ago, I was lucky to be asked to join the advisory committee (咨询委员会) of Children and Nature Network (C&NN). This is a growing organization created by writer Richard Louv. His book, Last Child in the Woods, became a best-seller as people realized we have a generation (一代人) of children so connected to electronics that they are losing their connection to nature. As Louv points out, “We are fast reaching a generation of children where no child will have played outdoors.” Nature is more than plants and animals we see each day. Nature is a shared spirit of being with all things. Through nature, we learn that everything is cyclical (周期的), that life begins and life passes, and that every life is in balance with all other life forms, and each one helps the other serve an important purpose. My neighbors follow the beliefs of nature that Louv suggests in his book. They plant, they play, and they teach their children that nature has her purpose. They live out the idea that we are part of nature, and when we harm her, we harm ourselves. Spending time outdoors both in loneliness and at play is an important education for children. The outdoors encourages an inner connection to nature, and if you stay there for a little while in silence, you will see all the natural connections. You will connect to the chlorophyll (叶绿素) of plants, the flight of insects and birds, and especially the knowing of the earth herself. In Shakespeare’s As You Like It, it mentions that there are songs in trees, stories in running rivers, lessons in stones, and goodness in everything. 1．How did the writer learn about nature and herself when she was a child? 2．Who created the growing organization C&NN? 3．What is an important education for children? 4．Do you often get close to nature? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．By playing outside. 2．Richard Louv. 3．Spending time outdoors both in loneliness and at play. 4．Yes, I do. Because it helps me relax and I can learn about nature. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了作者童年户外玩耍的经历，介绍了Richard Louv创立的C&NN组织，并阐述了亲近自然对儿童成长的重要性。 1．根据文章第 1 段“We learned a lot about nature and ourselves by playing outside.（我们通过在外面玩耍学到了很多关于自然和我们自己的知识。）”可推知作者是通过户外玩耍了解自然和她自己的。 2．根据文章第 2 段“This is a growing organization created by writer Richard Louv.（这是一个由作家 Richard Louv 创立的不断发展的组织。）”可推知C&NN是由Richard Louv创立的。 3．根据文章第 5 段“Spending time outdoors both in loneliness and at play is an important education for children.（花时间在户外无论是独处还是玩耍都是对孩子的重要教育。）”可推知对孩子重要的教育是在户外度过时光。 4．本题为开放性试题，需结合实际情况作答，表明态度并给出两个理由。示例回答为肯定回答，理由为放松身心和学习自然知识。 Passage 8 （2026·北京门头沟·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 How I Learned to Get My Social Energy Back Do you know what a social battery is? A social battery refers to the energy a person has for social activities. Like a phone battery, if a person uses up his or her energy, the social battery will also run out. I didn’t realize how important it was to manage this “battery” until last term, when I went through a tiring and confusing period. It all started during a busy month: three group project presentations, a school festival volunteer job, and many class debates. As an introvert (性格内向者), I’ve never been good at dealing with so many social events at the same time, but I pushed myself to take part in everything to “fit in”. On a Friday night, after a two-hour team discussion and a class party, I got a call from my best friend Lily. I stared at the phone for minutes and felt too tired to pick it up—I just wanted to sit alone quietly. That’s when I realized that my social battery was completely used up. Social battery levels can be influenced by different factors (因素), including personality, physical health and the types of activities. My poor sleep during that busy month made things worse; even a short conversation in class felt like it was a burden (负担). Finally, I talked to my English teacher, Ms. Wang. She explained that managing social energy isn’t about being unsociable— it’s about self-awareness. She shared some practical ways to recharge (充电), and I decided to give them a try. First, I started using a calendar to plan my social activities, leaving gaps for rest between them. Second, I focused on “really important” events and said no to less meaningful gatherings. Third, I learned to take short breaks during stressful activities. During group project meetings, I would go out for 10 minutes to take a walk on campus or listen to music, which refreshed me quickly. After trying these methods for a month, I noticed a huge change. Last week, I successfully attended a class picnic and then spent a quiet Sunday afternoon painting— something I couldn’t have done before without getting tired. I also realized that recharging doesn’t mean avoiding people; it means finding a balance between social time and being alone. Now I can enjoy hanging out with my friends while keeping my energy in check, and this balance has made my school life much more enjoyable and fulfilling. 1．What are the factors that influence social battery levels? 2．How did the writer recharge his/ her social battery during stressful activities? 3．What did the writer learn about recharging the social battery in the end? 4．Would you prefer to recharge your social battery alone or with close friends? Give two reasons for your choice. 【答案】1．Personality, physical health and the types of activities. 2．He/She would go out for 10 minutes to take a walk on campus or listen to music to refresh himself/herself. 3．It doesn’t mean avoiding people but finding a balance between social time and being alone. 4．I prefer to recharge my social battery with close friends. First, chatting with them helps me relieve stress gently. Second, enjoyable interactions make me recharge my social battery happily. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己社交能量耗尽后，在老师的建议下学习管理社交能量、成功恢复状态的经历，最终领悟到管理社交能量的核心是平衡社交时间与独处时间，能让校园生活变得更充实愉悦。 1．第三段“Social battery levels can be influenced by different factors (因素), including personality, physical health and the types of activities.”可直接得出结论，三个影响因素分别是性格、身体健康和活动类型。故填Personality, physical health and the types of activities。 2．第四段“Third, I learned to take short breaks during stressful activities. During group project meetings, I would go out for 10 minutes to take a walk on campus or listen to music, which refreshed me quickly.”可推知作者的方法。故填He/She would go out for 10 minutes to take a walk on campus or listen to music to refresh himself/herself。 3．最后一段“I also realized that recharging doesn’t mean avoiding people; it means finding a balance between social time and being alone.”可直接得出结论。故填It doesn’t mean avoiding people but finding a balance between social time and being alone。 4．I prefer to recharge my social battery with close friends. First, chatting with them helps me relieve stress gently. Second, enjoyable interactions make me recharge my social battery happily。(本题为开放性试题，言之有理即可) Passage 1 （2026·北京西城·二模）The heart of learning is tranquility (宁静), not excitement. We often connect the idea of learning with the moments of inspiration and excitement. But these moments don’t last. True learning happens in the quiet, daily steps we take. The key is to stay consistent (一贯的) without being burned out by the pressure of achieving quick results. The most meaningful learning takes place in the space between pushing too hard and doing nothing. It’s about finding the balance. Learning is not a race but a journey. It requires patience. Set realistic goals and increase the difficulty of what you learn over time. This way, you can make progress without forcing it. Learning requires the courage to bear boredom, which is what leads to mastery. The repetition of small tasks is the true training ground for developing expertise (专长). Whether reading the same unit again or practicing the same skill, consistency is key. The true value of learning lies in making daily effort and continuing without expecting quick results. This is what results in mastery. So how to learn with tranquility? It’s important to set a clear goal and break down the learning tasks into smaller, manageable ones which should be clear and achievable. Remember to focus on progress, not perfection, and allow yourself to make mistakes without feeling ashamed. As you follow the correct method, each step builds upon the last. There’s no need to rush—step by step, calmly, you’ll make progress. True growth begins with acceptance — recognizing where we are and where we need to go. By accepting where we are, we can plan our next steps calmly and effectively, without the need to force change. Learning is not about running away from our problems but dealing with them. When we accept the challenges and discomforts of our learning journey and take action, we develop resilience (韧性). From this foundation (基础), we can shape the future, one step at a time. When we understand that change takes time and requires patience, we’ll stop expecting quick results and focus on our progress. 1．According to the passage, what is the heart of learning? 2．What kind of courage does learning require? 3．When will we stop expecting quick results and focus on our progress? 4．To learn with tranquility, what ways would you like to try? Explain how these ways benefit you. (Please give two ways.) 【答案】1． Tranquility 1． The courage to bear boredom 1． When we understand that change takes time and requires patience 1． Set a clear goal. It helps me know the direction. Break down tasks. It makes tasks manageable. 【导语】本文主要阐述了学习的核心是宁静而非兴奋，强调了耐心、坚持和接受现状的重要性，并提出了如何宁静学习的具体建议。 1．开头第一句给出答案：“The heart of learning is tranquility, not excitement.”，指出学习的核心是宁静。因此答案为原文信息。 2．第五段开头指出：“Learning requires the courage to bear boredom”，说明学习需要忍受无聊的勇气。因此答案为原文信息。 3．文章最后一句提到：“When we understand that change takes time and requires patience, we’ll stop expecting quick results and focus on our progress.”，说明只有当我们明白改变需要时间且需要耐心时才会停止期待快速结果，并专注于我们的进步。因此答案为原文信息，可直接提取。 4．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。文章第六段“It’s important to set a clear goal and break down the learning tasks into smaller, manageable ones…”这些都是宁静学习的方法。结合个人理解阐述好处，言之有理即可。 Passage 2 （2026·北京顺义·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Teen mental health: What role does social media play? Rates of low spirits, anxiety and other mental illnesses have been increasing in young Gen Z’ers, who were born after 1995. And in recent years, scientists and psychologists have often pointed out social media as one possible cause. New data confirm it could be a contributor. But how big a role it plays also depends on how teenagers choose to use it. In recent years, the internet has done some great things. It has brought people closer together. It has helped people form big communities that can reach over the world. And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection. No surprise, Gen Z is living online more than ever. But some teens can be exposed (暴露) to content that is harmful or upsetting. For instance, one survey in 2022 found that nearly half of all teens have been hurt or targeted online. And nearly two in every three Gen Z’ers came across negative content (内容) on social media. Social media is also a space where people are constantly comparing themselves to others. Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? Smart enough? Cool enough? One study of teens found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies. Only about one in every seven said viewing social media made them feel better. The good news is that you can take control. “The key is that social media use needs to be intentional (有意识的),” says Whitlock, a research psychologist. She means using it for some purposeful goal, not just to pass the time or as entertainment. In May 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an official warning on teens’ social-media use. There’s still not enough evidence to say social media is safe for teens. But there was more than enough evidence, it said, to warn teens that they should take care when using it. Whitlock asks teens she works with to put together a “menu of practices” that improve good mental health. It should include little things they enjoy. She also suggests that if teens feel anxious, they should go back to that menu again and do something from their list—instead of turning to their phones and social media. Linked to both good and harm, social media should be used carefully. 1．What decides how big a role social media plays for teenagers? 2．What great things has the internet done in recent years? 3．Why may social media be harmful to teenagers’ mental health? 4．What is a wise way for teenagers to use social media? Why? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．How teenagers choose to use it. 2．It has brought people closer together, helped form big communities and can be a place to find support and connection. 3．Because teens can be exposed to harmful content and constantly compare themselves to others. 4．Use it intentionally. Because purposeful use can improve mental health and help avoid negative effects such as harmful content or endless self-comparison. 【导语】本文主要讲述了社交媒体对青少年心理健康的影响，并就青少年如何明智地使用社交媒体提出了建议。 1．第一段说明了社交媒体在青少年生活中扮演的角色大小的决定因素是“depends on how teenagers choose to use it”如何选择使用社交媒体。因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第二段讲述了互联网的多种积极作用“It has brought people closer together… helped people form big communities…can be an important place for people to find support and connection”。答案几乎是原文引述。 3．此答案是对第三段和第四段信息的概括总结。第三段“But some teens can be exposed to content that is harmful or upsetting.”和第四段“…constantly comparing themselves to others”分别表达了社交媒体对青少年心理健康的危害主要源于接触有害内容和持续的自我比较。 4．开放题，答案不唯一。第六段提到Whitlock认为社交媒体使用需要有意识，即有目标地使用，而不是用来消磨时间或娱乐“social media use needs to be intentional...for some purposeful goal, not just to pass the time or as entertainment”。原因部分需结合文中提到的维护心理健康（第八段）、社交媒体可能带来的负面内容（第三段）以及自我比较（第四段）等，合理即可。 Passage 3 （2026·北京平谷·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Chinese Calligraphy Chinese calligraphy is one of the greatest art forms in Chinese culture. In 2009, UNESCO officially recognized it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (人类非物质文化遗产). It has a history of more than 3,000 years. The earliest examples come from the Shang Dynasty (商朝), when people carved characters onto bones and shells. Over the centuries, calligraphy developed through different styles. In the Qin Dynasty, Prime Minister Li Si created the small seal script to meet the growing need for written records. However, it was too slow to write, which led to the official script — faster and with straighter lines. Later, the regular script developed, which has clear corners and straight strokes (笔画) of different thicknesses. The Tang Dynasty is seen as the golden age of calligraphy. Masters like Ouyang Xun, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan set standards for later generations. During this time, calligraphy skills became very important. Anyone who wanted a government job had to write well in regular script. The Chinese still use this script today in print and daily life. Two other styles, running script and cursive script, also became popular. Running script is faster and more flowing, while cursive script is even freer and more artistic. Calligraphy is more than beautiful writing. In ancient China, good handwriting was a sign of education and moral character (品德). Many great poets and thinkers were also famous calligraphers. Their works remain national treasures, and calligraphy continues to attract interest worldwide as a symbol of Chinese civilization (文明). For students, learning calligraphy offers valuable lessons. It requires careful attention to every stroke, helping build patience and focus. In today’s digital world, calligraphy provides a chance to slow down. The slow, repeated brush movements create a sense of calm, helping students manage stress. Moreover, calligraphy connects students with their cultural roots (根源). By studying the works of ancient masters, they learn core Chinese values (核心价值观) — harmony (和谐), discipline (自律), and respect for hard work. In an age of computers, calligraphy offers a rare link to the past. It builds character, preserves culture, and brings inner peace. Tradition can still bring meaning to modern life. 1．How long is the history of Chinese calligraphy? 2．In ancient China, what was good handwriting a sign of? 3．Which style of Chinese calligraphy is more free and artistic, running script or cursive script? 4．Do you think calligraphy is still important for students today? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) 【答案】1．More than 3,000 years./It has a history of more than 3,000 years. 2．Education and moral character./It was a sign of education and moral character. 3．Cursive script./Cursive script is more free and artistic. 4．Yes, I do. Because it helps build patience and focus, and it connects students with their cultural roots. (答案不唯一，合理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国书法的历史、字体演变、在古代的地位以及在现代对学生的意义。 1．文章第一段直接给出了中国书法的历史时长信息，可从原文“It has a history of more than 3,000 years.”直接提取答案。 2．文章第四段明确提到“In ancient China, good handwriting was a sign of education and moral character.”，可直接获取答案。 3．文章第三段对行书和草书的特点进行了对比，原文提到“Running script is faster and more flowing, while cursive script is even more free and artistic.”，由此可直接得出答案。 4．本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。可结合文章最后两段内容，从“培养耐心专注力、缓解压力”和“连接文化根源、学习核心价值观”等角度作答。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 任务型阅读（北京专用） Passage 1 （2026·北京·二模）There’s been talk about how social media is bad for you, but a year ago, I created an account on a new photo-sharing platform, and the results have been positive. The platform’s photo-centric nature caught my eye, and so I decided to share my photos. I set clear rules—one post per day, first thing each morning, with a thought-out, detailed blurb (配图文字). The blurb serves as a warm-up exercise for my brain. More importantly, it’s like public journaling, an offering of connection. To make it interactive, I follow 10 people per day. After a year, I have gained more than 2,500 followers, and I do my best to like their posts. It’s not just politeness; I’m following people with wonderful galleries. As I grew more confident in my photos and writing, I followed anyone with a good eye. Perhaps a simple, uniting force—like a nice photo—could help us understand and accept one another. The feedback so far has been wonderful, and even on days when I felt down, I could always “like” eye-catching photos. Oh, to be inspired while feeling depressed! A year earlier, I thought it wasn’t possible. I’ve consciously (有意识地) followed others with mental health challenges, like me, and those who celebrate hiking as a means of connecting with nature. Their posts remind me that I am not alone. One post of a canyon (峡谷) inspired a road trip to Oregon’s High Desert. In my blurb, I noted that someone on the platform motivated me to make the trip. Later, there came a comment that read: “I remember you commenting on my post last fall. Glad you made it!” Through the platform, I’ve had a window to the world. I can’t experience it all in person, but the platform offers something more personal than browsing (浏览) National Geographic: I visit the desert, the ocean, a mountain within 60 seconds. I see river views from someone’s unsteady hands. A few times each day, I am outside myself, inspired. 1．Why did the writer decide to share photos on the platform? 2．When did the writer begin to follow anyone with a good eye? 3．What did the writer do after reading the post of a canyon? 4．Do you like sharing your daily life online? Why or why not? (Please give at least two reasons) Passage 2 （2026·北京大兴·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Rhetorical devices (修辞手法) are special writing and speaking skills that help express ideas better, persuade readers, or arouse feelings. They help people organize their arguments, make statements easy to remember, and connect with their audience. Here are three types of rhetorical devices. 1 Simile Have you ever wanted to paint a picture with words? That’s where simile comes in. It’s a powerful tool to create vivid (生动的) imagery and make their writing more engaging (引人入胜的). At its heart, a simile is a comparison between two different things using the words “like” or “as” to show a shared quality. Here are a few quick examples to get you started: ◆ He eats like a horse. ◆ Her smile was bright like the sun. ◆ The lake was as smooth as a mirror. Writers use similes to paint a picture in the reader’s mind and to make their writing more interesting and memorable. 2 Personification Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities or characteristics are given to inanimate objects, animals, ideas, or forces of nature. It’s not simply describing something; it’s giving it a personality. It’s a way to make descriptions more vivid, relatable, and engaging. Here are a few quick examples: ◆ The wind hugs the trees softly. ◆ The sun smiled down on us. ◆ Opportunity knocked at her door. Personification helps readers picture scenes and ideas more clearly by presenting them in a more human and understandable way. 3 Parallelism Parallelism is a powerful tool to create rhythm, stress ideas, and make the writing more memorable. It is the use of similar grammatical structures to express related ideas. The key is that all parts are presented in a balanced and symmetrical (对称的) way. Here are a few quick examples: ◆ She likes hiking, biking, and swimming. ◆ Believe in yourself, believe in your effort, believe in your future. ◆ She was a woman of courage, a woman of strength, and a woman of vision. Repetition draws attention to important ideas; balanced and symmetrical phrases are easier to remember. 1．What words does a simile use to compare two different things? 2．Which rhetorical device does the sentence “The sun smiled down on us.” use? 3．What is the key of parallelism? 4．Which rhetorical device will you use to praise your favorite teacher? Please write at least two sentences using the device. Passage 3 （2026·北京石景山·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 On a cool Saturday morning, instead of sleeping in, a group of teenagers gather at the park. They stretch (伸展), laugh, and get ready to run. But they're not just going for a jog, they're going plogging. Plogging is a fitness activity that connects jogging with picking up litter. The name comes from the Swedish words meaning “pick up” and “jog”. It may sound simple, but this small idea has grown into a global movement. For many teens, it's more than exercise — it’s a way to protect the environment and make a difference. As they run along the road, they would slow down whenever they see litter, like an empty bottle or a candy box. They bend, stretch, take the rubbish, and keep moving. Without even noticing it, they’re doing extra moves like bends, turning an ordinary run into a full-body workout. By the end, their legs feel stronger and their bags are filled with rubbish. But the best part isn’t just the workout, but the sense of fulfillment (满足). When you see a cleaner park because of your effort, you’ll have a great sense of satisfaction. It reminds teens that they are not too young to make changes. Every piece of litter picked up is a small victory for the planet. Plogging also brings people together. Teens challenge each other to collect the most litter, and in this way they make plogging more motivating (有动力的). Some classes organize plogging events as service projects. Others share their experiences on social media to encourage more people to join. What starts as a simple run becomes an important job or responsibility. In a world facing pollution and weather problems, it’s easy to feel helpless. But plogging shows even small actions matter. Every bottle picked up, every wrapper removed, adds up. You’re not just exercising — you’re making your park, your street, and your city cleaner. You can have fun doing it, with friends cheering you on or discovering new ways to make a difference. So wear your sports shoes, grab a rubbish bag, and see how much change you can create. 1．What is “plogging”? 2．What is the best part about plogging according to the passage? 3．How do teens make plogging more motivating? 4．Would you like to try plogging in your free time? Why? (Please give two reasons.) Passage 4 （2026·北京丰台·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 “Why are people so unfriendly?” I used to ask myself this after daily walks. In this short-video age, I felt people had forgotten how to communicate face to face. Didn’t they realize that talking to strangers can make life a little happier? One day, my partner grew tired of my complaints and said, “Maybe it’s you.” Impossible, I thought. Just that morning, I had looked right at someone and didn’t even get a “hello” back. So rude! But then I realized maybe I needed to push myself to take the first step. I started by saying “hello” to dog owners, because they usually seem friendly. To my surprise, it worked. Most of them smiled back or even stopped for a short chat. It made me so happy and helped me realize that starting a conversation is easy and can brighten both people’s day. Encouraged, I started greeting people who made eye contact (接触) with me. Later I even said “good day” to people who didn’t look at me. Most of the time, I got friendly replies. Then I moved on to people talking on the phone. At first, I worried about bothering (打扰) them, but I tried anyway. Some people ignored (忽视) me, but I didn’t give up. Finally, someone stopped to say “hi”. This taught me that taking the first step can bridge the distance between strangers and completely change how they respond. As time went by, I noticed people were getting friendlier. Or maybe they hadn’t changed — it was I who had changed. Now, I usually say “hello” whether people look at me or not. Even if they ignore me, it doesn’t matter. These small friendly acts improved my mood and turned a lonely walk into a pleasant one. This habit has also spread beyond my walks. When talking to strangers, I don’t expect lifelong friends, just small moments of connection. It’s simple: Treat others the way you want to be treated. After all, someone has to make the first move. 1．Why did the writer think people were rude that morning? 2．How did the writer feel when strangers smiled or even chatted with him? 3．What does the writer expect when talking to strangers? 4．At a new school, would you like to take the first step to meet new classmates and make new friends? Why or why not? (Give at least two reasons.) Passage 5 （2026·北京昌平·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Not long ago, thrifting (淘二手货) was seen as “shameful” by many. But now, second-hand clothes have become a “cool must-have”. In just ten years, thrifting has gone from a small hobby in local communities to a new style that can compete with fast fashion. People’s ideas toward thrifting have changed. Eve Perez, a 21-year-old who once felt strange shopping at thrift stores, recalls that something began to change five years ago, when social media became popular. She noticed people’s views on buying and wearing used clothes were different. Now, young people feel that thrifting is a “treasure hunt” to find things that show their personality. Historians also point out that young people often want to be different from the older generation through fashion. Together with their friends, they’ve turned early 2000s clothing into cool looks from the past. Social media is a big driving force in making thrifting popular. Apps like TikTok are flooded with ThriftHaul videos, where users show off their “finds” from thrift stores. Caring about the environment is another big reason. More and more people are realizing how fast fashion harms the environment. Thrifting helps cut down on waste. The thrifting fever has opened up chances for people. Alex Chen, a college student, started selling old band T-shirts on an app. In six months, he got over 5,000 followers and made enough money to pay his tuition (学费). Many sellers also sell second-hand products in physical thrift stores. “People share their love for special things there,” says Sofia Martinez, who runs such a store. Thrifting is no longer just about saving money. It’s a cultural movement. As young people continue to accept it, this industry is expected to keep growing, showing that what’s old can truly become new again. 1．How do young people feel about thrifting now? 2．What are the driving forces making thrifting popular? 3．Besides apps, where do people sell their second-hand products? 4．Which one of the following—a key, a bridge, or a window—do you think best describes what thrifting means to young people today? Explain why you choose it. (Please give two reasons.) Passage 6 （2026·北京房山·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 A family dinner is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival. In the past, most families prepared the dinner at home, with everyone gathering in the kitchen. Nowadays, however, more and more people choose to have the dinner in a restaurant. Some people think eating out is a good choice because it saves people the trouble of cooking and cleaning up. After working all year, people can relax and spend quality time with their family. Besides, eating out does not mean losing traditions, as family members still get together in a different way. Wang Peng, a software engineer, supports eating out. His family has eaten out for the Spring Festival dinner for the past three years and enjoyed it as much as eating at home. Without tiring cooking, the dinner becomes more enjoyable, and the dishes also taste better. In his opinion, what or where they eat does not matter; the love among family members remains the same. However, some people prefer to have the Spring Festival dinner at home. Liu Yonghui, a retired (退休的) teacher, is one of them. For him, it just won’t feel like Spring Festival having the dinner out. When he was a little boy, the dinner on the eve of Spring Festival was what he looked forward to most. It was not only for the delicious food that he seldom got to eat, but for the opportunity to have the whole family gather together. He used to run around the house, listen to adults chatting, and watch his mother make dumplings with special fillings inside: candies for a sweet life and peanuts for a long and healthy life. The whole family would sit around the table, talking and laughing happily. To him, simple home-cooked dishes always taste better than restaurant food. He hopes his children and grandchildren will still value the memories of preparing the dinner together. He believes that the preparation for the dinner is even more important than the dinner itself. Whether people choose to eat at home or in a restaurant, the spirit of the Spring Festival dinner never changes. What truly matters is not the place, but the warmth of being together and the love that connects family members. 1．What is an important tradition to celebrate Spring Festival? 2．Why do some people consider eating out a good choice? 3．What does Liu Yonghui think is more important than the dinner itself? 4．Do you think we should have the Spring Festival dinner at home or in a restaurant? Why? (Please give two reasons.) Passage 7 （2026·北京朝阳·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 When I was a child, my mother would say, “Go outside and play.” And I would, with all the other kids in the neighborhood. We learned a lot about nature and ourselves by playing outside. A few years ago, I was lucky to be asked to join the advisory committee (咨询委员会) of Children and Nature Network (C&NN). This is a growing organization created by writer Richard Louv. His book, Last Child in the Woods, became a best-seller as people realized we have a generation (一代人) of children so connected to electronics that they are losing their connection to nature. As Louv points out, “We are fast reaching a generation of children where no child will have played outdoors.” Nature is more than plants and animals we see each day. Nature is a shared spirit of being with all things. Through nature, we learn that everything is cyclical (周期的), that life begins and life passes, and that every life is in balance with all other life forms, and each one helps the other serve an important purpose. My neighbors follow the beliefs of nature that Louv suggests in his book. They plant, they play, and they teach their children that nature has her purpose. They live out the idea that we are part of nature, and when we harm her, we harm ourselves. Spending time outdoors both in loneliness and at play is an important education for children. The outdoors encourages an inner connection to nature, and if you stay there for a little while in silence, you will see all the natural connections. You will connect to the chlorophyll (叶绿素) of plants, the flight of insects and birds, and especially the knowing of the earth herself. In Shakespeare’s As You Like It, it mentions that there are songs in trees, stories in running rivers, lessons in stones, and goodness in everything. 1．How did the writer learn about nature and herself when she was a child? 2．Who created the growing organization C&NN? 3．What is an important education for children? 4．Do you often get close to nature? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) Passage 8 （2026·北京门头沟·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 How I Learned to Get My Social Energy Back Do you know what a social battery is? A social battery refers to the energy a person has for social activities. Like a phone battery, if a person uses up his or her energy, the social battery will also run out. I didn’t realize how important it was to manage this “battery” until last term, when I went through a tiring and confusing period. It all started during a busy month: three group project presentations, a school festival volunteer job, and many class debates. As an introvert (性格内向者), I’ve never been good at dealing with so many social events at the same time, but I pushed myself to take part in everything to “fit in”. On a Friday night, after a two-hour team discussion and a class party, I got a call from my best friend Lily. I stared at the phone for minutes and felt too tired to pick it up—I just wanted to sit alone quietly. That’s when I realized that my social battery was completely used up. Social battery levels can be influenced by different factors (因素), including personality, physical health and the types of activities. My poor sleep during that busy month made things worse; even a short conversation in class felt like it was a burden (负担). Finally, I talked to my English teacher, Ms. Wang. She explained that managing social energy isn’t about being unsociable— it’s about self-awareness. She shared some practical ways to recharge (充电), and I decided to give them a try. First, I started using a calendar to plan my social activities, leaving gaps for rest between them. Second, I focused on “really important” events and said no to less meaningful gatherings. Third, I learned to take short breaks during stressful activities. During group project meetings, I would go out for 10 minutes to take a walk on campus or listen to music, which refreshed me quickly. After trying these methods for a month, I noticed a huge change. Last week, I successfully attended a class picnic and then spent a quiet Sunday afternoon painting— something I couldn’t have done before without getting tired. I also realized that recharging doesn’t mean avoiding people; it means finding a balance between social time and being alone. Now I can enjoy hanging out with my friends while keeping my energy in check, and this balance has made my school life much more enjoyable and fulfilling. 1．What are the factors that influence social battery levels? 2．How did the writer recharge his/ her social battery during stressful activities? 3．What did the writer learn about recharging the social battery in the end? 4．Would you prefer to recharge your social battery alone or with close friends? Give two reasons for your choice. Passage 1 （2026·北京西城·二模）The heart of learning is tranquility (宁静), not excitement. We often connect the idea of learning with the moments of inspiration and excitement. But these moments don’t last. True learning happens in the quiet, daily steps we take. The key is to stay consistent (一贯的) without being burned out by the pressure of achieving quick results. The most meaningful learning takes place in the space between pushing too hard and doing nothing. It’s about finding the balance. Learning is not a race but a journey. It requires patience. Set realistic goals and increase the difficulty of what you learn over time. This way, you can make progress without forcing it. Learning requires the courage to bear boredom, which is what leads to mastery. The repetition of small tasks is the true training ground for developing expertise (专长). Whether reading the same unit again or practicing the same skill, consistency is key. The true value of learning lies in making daily effort and continuing without expecting quick results. This is what results in mastery. So how to learn with tranquility? It’s important to set a clear goal and break down the learning tasks into smaller, manageable ones which should be clear and achievable. Remember to focus on progress, not perfection, and allow yourself to make mistakes without feeling ashamed. As you follow the correct method, each step builds upon the last. There’s no need to rush—step by step, calmly, you’ll make progress. True growth begins with acceptance — recognizing where we are and where we need to go. By accepting where we are, we can plan our next steps calmly and effectively, without the need to force change. Learning is not about running away from our problems but dealing with them. When we accept the challenges and discomforts of our learning journey and take action, we develop resilience (韧性). From this foundation (基础), we can shape the future, one step at a time. When we understand that change takes time and requires patience, we’ll stop expecting quick results and focus on our progress. 1．According to the passage, what is the heart of learning? 2．What kind of courage does learning require? 3．When will we stop expecting quick results and focus on our progress? 4．To learn with tranquility, what ways would you like to try? Explain how these ways benefit you. (Please give two ways.) Passage 2 （2026·北京顺义·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Teen mental health: What role does social media play? Rates of low spirits, anxiety and other mental illnesses have been increasing in young Gen Z’ers, who were born after 1995. And in recent years, scientists and psychologists have often pointed out social media as one possible cause. New data confirm it could be a contributor. But how big a role it plays also depends on how teenagers choose to use it. In recent years, the internet has done some great things. It has brought people closer together. It has helped people form big communities that can reach over the world. And it can be an important place for people to find support and connection. No surprise, Gen Z is living online more than ever. But some teens can be exposed (暴露) to content that is harmful or upsetting. For instance, one survey in 2022 found that nearly half of all teens have been hurt or targeted online. And nearly two in every three Gen Z’ers came across negative content (内容) on social media. Social media is also a space where people are constantly comparing themselves to others. Am I pretty enough? Strong enough? Smart enough? Cool enough? One study of teens found that almost half reported that time spent on social media made them feel worse about their bodies. Only about one in every seven said viewing social media made them feel better. The good news is that you can take control. “The key is that social media use needs to be intentional (有意识的),” says Whitlock, a research psychologist. She means using it for some purposeful goal, not just to pass the time or as entertainment. In May 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an official warning on teens’ social-media use. There’s still not enough evidence to say social media is safe for teens. But there was more than enough evidence, it said, to warn teens that they should take care when using it. Whitlock asks teens she works with to put together a “menu of practices” that improve good mental health. It should include little things they enjoy. She also suggests that if teens feel anxious, they should go back to that menu again and do something from their list—instead of turning to their phones and social media. Linked to both good and harm, social media should be used carefully. 1．What decides how big a role social media plays for teenagers? 2．What great things has the internet done in recent years? 3．Why may social media be harmful to teenagers’ mental health? 4．What is a wise way for teenagers to use social media? Why? (Please give two reasons.) Passage 3 （2026·北京平谷·二模）阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Chinese Calligraphy Chinese calligraphy is one of the greatest art forms in Chinese culture.
