Let’s welcome Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi, and Chengcheng! These four horses are cute and full of energy. Their designs mix ancient history with modern art. Let’s meet them one by one. Qiqi’s design is based on the famous Bronze Colt-shaped Zun of Lord Li (蠡驹尊) from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has a dark colour and wears a high hair bun. Qiqi looks calm, polite, and full of big dreams. Jiji takes its design from the Han Dynasty. Its body looks like the famous Bronze Galloping Horse (铜奔马). Look at its wings! They spread wide for the horse to fly high. The design of the wings comes from an ancient bronze umbrella handle. How brave and confident Jiji looks! Chichi shows the style of the Tang Dynasty. It is a Three-maned Horse. Its mane (鬃毛) is shaped into three bunches. This style was for the highest-ranking horses long ago. Chichi looks brave and strong. Chengcheng is a Przewalski’s horse (普氏野马)—the only wild horse species alive today! China now has the world’s largest number of them. This is a great achievement in wildlife protection.

A few hours later, Captain Nemo told me that the Nautilus was about to enter the tunnel that led to the Mediterranean (地中海). It was difficult to enter the tunnel, so he drove the ship himself and invited me to watch. It was the first time I had been in the pilot’s dome. The captain turned on a powerful electric light, and we went slowly along a rock wall for about an hour. Then, I saw the opening of the tunnel, and the Nautilus entered it. The water flowed through the tunnel very quickly and carried the Nautilus along with it, and in only twenty minutes, we were in the Mediterranean. A day or two later, it came closer to the surface again. We were close to Crete. I was looking at the fish through the windows with Captain Nemo when suddenly I saw a man swimming to the window, and Captain Nemo made a sign to him. He swam away, and I did not see him again. “That was Nicholas,” said the captain. “He lives on an island but spends more time in the water than on land.” “Do you know him?” I asked. “Why not, Dr. Aronnax?” He opened a cupboard and I saw that it was full of gold bars. He filled a large box with them, closed it, and wrote an address on it. Four men carried the box out of the room. I went back to my room. What was Captain Nemo doing? Soon, I realized that the Nautilus was back on the surface, and I heard the dinghy leave. Two hours later, it returned. I wondered where they had taken the gold. I told Ned and Conseil about it. “Where does he get the gold, and where does it go?” we wondered. Toward the end of the next day, it became very hot in the Nautilus. Captain Nemo explained that we were in a stream of boiling water. We were above an underwater volcano (火山) that was erupting (爆发). It was too hot to stay there long. 29. What helped the Nautilus move quickly through the tunnel? A. The big rock walls. B. The powerful electric light. C. The fast-flowing water. D. The captain’s driving skills. 30. What does the underlined word “him” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Nicholas. B. Conseil. C. Dr. Aronnax. D. Captain Nemo. 31. Which is the right order of the following events according to the passage? a. Captain Nemo met Nicholas. b. The Nautilus entered the tunnel. c. The Nautilus came closer to the surface again. d. Dr. Aronnax wondered where the gold was taken. A. b-a-c-d B. d-c-b-a C. d-c-a-b D. b-c-a-d 32. What can we infer from the passage? A. They spent 30 minutes going through the tunnel. B. Nicholas and Captain Nemo were good friends. C. Aronnax would try his best to get the box of gold. D. The Nautilus would soon be on the surface again. 【答案】29. C 30. A 31. D 32. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者进入了通往苏伊士湾的朱拜勒海峡，通过隧道进入地中海向欧洲航行的见闻。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The water flowed through the tunnel very quickly and carried the Nautilus along with it, and in only twenty minutes, we were in the Mediterranean.”可知，是快速流动的水使他们更快地通过隧道。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据“and Captain Nemo made a sign to him .”和“That was Nicholas,” 可知，他是指Nicholas。故选A。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I saw the opening of the tunnel, and the Nautilus entered it.”、“it came closer to the surface again. ”、“That was Nicholas,” 和“I wondered where they had taken the gold.”可知，事件发生的顺序是b-c-a-d。故选D。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据“We were above an underwater volcano that was erupting. It was too hot to stay there long”可知，海螺号在地下火山正在喷发的地方，不宜久待，因此推断船要离开它所在的地方，因此判断它可能又要靠岸了。故选D。 C A great cultural event took place in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. The English-language The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu was performed (表演) in China for the first time. At the same time, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Dream of Nanke were also performed. These plays created a dialogue across time and space and showed the shared human feelings of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare (莎士比亚). Tang Xianzu from China and William Shakespeare from England were great writers during the mid-16th century. Though they never met, their works share many similarities. Their works were about themes like love, life and human spirits, and often used “dreams” in plays to express feelings that still touch people today. This idea was shown clearly at a gala held by CCTV in Fuzhou. In the drama Tang & Shakespeare, The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet appeared on the same stage. The performance showed Eastern “pure love” and Western “devoted love”, proving that writers from different cultures can express similar feelings about love and life. The English-language The Peony Pavilion was successful in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. However, it also faced a challenge: how to make the special singing and music of Kunqu opera easy to understand for English people? To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms (韵律) often found in Shakespeare’s plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in movement, dance and music. With actors from different countries, the performance became a real cultural exchange, not just a translation. Another exciting part of the event was the “Tang-Shakespeare Legacy: Youth Dialogue”, which brought together young actors from China and the UK. These young artists not only keep traditions alive, but also bring new ideas to classic works. Their work proves that cultural differences are bridges, not barriers (障碍). As we witness the exchange, we are reminded that the influence of Tang and Shakespeare is not limited to their time but lives on in every play, every shared story, and every heart it touches. 33. What do we know about Tang and Shakespeare according to the passage? A. They worked together to write plays. B. They were writers in different periods. C. They wrote plays in the same country. D. They used dreams to express feelings. 34. How did the performers help English speakers enjoy The Peony Pavilion? A. By inviting many famous international actors. B. By changing the old story into a modern one. C. By using Western rhythms and mixing art styles. D. By explaining the play before each performance. 35. Why are young artists important in this cultural event? A. They help make the performance shorter. B. They bring new life to traditional works. C. They follow old traditions without change. D. They decide which plays to be performed. 36. Which idea is best supported by the passage as a whole? A. Chinese artists play an important role in this cultural event. B. Traditional art should be protected without making changes. C. Cultural differences lead to misunderstandings without dialogue. D. Cultural exchange helps classical works connect different cultures. 【答案】33. D 34. C 35. B 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了在江西抚州举办的文化活动，包括英文版《牡丹亭》首次在中国演出，以及汤显祖与莎士比亚的作品通过跨文化交流展现共同人文情怀的相关情况。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Their works were about themes like love, life and human spirits, and often used ‘dreams’ in plays to express feelings that still touch people today.”可知，汤显祖和莎士比亚都经常在戏剧中用“梦”来表达情感。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms (韵律) often found in Shakespeare’s plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in movement, dance and music.”可知，表演者通过使用西方韵律并融合中西艺术风格，帮助英语使用者欣赏《牡丹亭》。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These young artists not only keep traditions alive, but also bring new ideas to classic works.”可知，年轻艺术家在文化活动中很重要，因为他们为传统作品注入了新的活力。故选B。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容，英文版《牡丹亭》促成中西文化融合，“唐与莎士比亚”主题戏剧展现跨文化情感共鸣，青年对话证明文化差异是桥梁，整体体现了文化交流有助于经典作品连接不同文化。故选D。 D As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection (反省) can lead to personal improvement. However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful so we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. As we live in social groups, there are many advantages of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us realize the dreams we are searching for. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. Happiness shared will become happiness doubled and trouble shared will become trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement by talking with friendly and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the happiness of staying with a group of people is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships should be carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends. 37. According to the passage, close friendships have some “fruits” except ________. A. making our hearts peaceful B. realizing our dreams with friends’ help C. guiding our own feelings easily D. understanding our problems better 38. We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________. A. it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than our own B. our judgements won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings C. our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions D. it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems 39. Which shows the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②/③/④⑤⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ C. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥ D. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Walking “the path of life” B. Understanding of friendship C. Advice on making friends D. Improvements of social life 【答案】37. C 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要论述了友谊的三个“果实”：慰藉心灵、启迪思想、帮助实现梦想，并强调了选择和培养友谊的重要性。 【37题详解】 第二段提到“close friendships have three ‘fruits’: they may comfort the heart...and help us realize the dreams”，A项（making our hearts peaceful）和 B项（realizing our dreams）属于友谊的果实；根据第四段“brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems”可知，D项（understanding our problems better）属于友谊的果实。而第四段提到“if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided”，说明仅靠自己的感受容易导致判断片面，并非友谊带来的益处。 【38题详解】 第四段提到“On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough understanding of our problems.”，通过与明智的朋友交谈能获得更好理解，是因为朋友能对我们必须做的重要决定提供更好的建议，从而使思路更清晰。 【39题详解】 文章第一段引出社交生活的重要性；第二段总述友谊有三个“果实”；第三、四、五段分别详细阐述这三个“果实”（和平、理解、帮助），属于并列关系；第六段总结全文，提出应谨慎选择朋友。因此结构应为：①（引入）/②（总述）/③④⑤（分述）/⑥（总结）。选项D符合该结构。 【40题详解】 通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了友谊带来的三个“果实”（慰藉心灵、启迪思想、帮助实现梦想），即友谊的好处和价值。B项“对友谊的理解”最能概括文章关于友谊益处和性质的讨论。 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. ____41____ This won him $ 25,000 and the title of “Best Young Scientist in America”. Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question. His mother always told him to wash fruit before eating it. ____42____ He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides. They can bring possible health problems like cancer. Washing only gets rid of part of the pesticides. “If we could find them, we could avoid eating them and lower the risk of those health problems,” Subash said. ____43____ It works by shining lights and seeing how light reflects (反射) off food. With the help of a sensor (传感器), a screen and an AI learning model, the tool can find out if there are pesticides around. To use it, users must point PestiSCAND at the fruit or vegetable to see if they need to wash it again. ____44____ During testing, PestiSCAND was right more than 85 percent of the time in finding pesticides. Subash plans to improve his tool and hopes to get it to market by the time he starts college. ____45____ “In 15 years, I hope to be designing and building devices that can help make the world a better place,” said Subash. A. This led Subash to invent PestiSCAND, a small tool that people can carry around. B. They can check the results in an app on their phones. C. The percentage of fruits and vegetables with pesticides (农药). D. The boy wondered if the action did any good. E. His love for science will never go away. F. Subash will give up his love for science after college. G. He made a tool that can find pesticides on fruits and vegetables. 【答案】41. G 42. D 43. A 44. B 45. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了美国14岁学生Sirish Subash发明了可检测果蔬农药残留的工具，并因此赢得了3M青年科学家挑战赛的故事。 【41题详解】 空前提到Sirish Subash赢得了3M青年科学家挑战赛，空后说了获得的奖金和头衔。此处需要补充他获奖的具体成果。选项G“He made a tool that can find pesticides on fruits and vegetables.”概括了他的发明成就，与上下文逻辑连贯。 【42题详解】 空前说母亲告诉他吃水果前要清洗，空后说他了解到70%的果蔬有农药。此处需要一个过渡句，选项D“The boy wondered if the action did any good.”承接了母亲的建议，并引出后文他去了解农药相关知识的行为。 【43题详解】 空前是Subash的引言，提到如果能发现农药就能避免食用并降低健康风险，空后介绍“它”如何工作，这里的“它”指代某个工具。选项A“This led Subash to invent PestiSCAND, a small tool that people can carry around.”正式引出了工具的名称，与后文的“It”指代一致。 【44题详解】 本段介绍如何使用该工具。空前说用户必须将工具指向果蔬，空后提到测试准确率。此处应补充使用过程的下一步。选项B“They can check the results in an app on their phones.”描述了用户操作后的反馈环节，符合使用流程。 【45题详解】 空前提到他计划在大学前将工具推向市场，空后引用他15年后的愿望。此处需要表达他对科学持续的热情。选项E“His love for science will never go away.”与上下文关于未来规划和对科学追求的语境相符。 四、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文意思和首字母提示，写出一个完整的单词。 Protect Our Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产) China has a long history and rich traditional culture.

Now they can run half marathons (21.1 km). On April 19th, 2026 in Beijing, robots crossed the finish line ahead of humans for the first time. And they didn’t even sweat (流汗). Human runners fell to the ground, red-faced and tired. But the robots stood tall and unhurt. The winning robot, named Lightning, was made by Honor Company. It finished the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. That is faster than the human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds, set by a Ugandan runner in March. This is a big improvement from last year’s first robot race. In 2025, the winning robot took 2 hours and 40 minutes—more than twice the human winner’s time. Most robots couldn’t even finish. This year, several robots ran faster than professional human athletes. Nearly half of them navigated (导航) the race by themselves, without remote control. Engineer Du Xiaodi said Lightning was developed for one year. Its legs are like top human runners. It uses liquid cooling technology from smartphones. It will change many industries, such as manufacturing (制造业). Audience members were impressed. Sun Zhigang said, “This is the first time robots have beaten humans. I never imagined that.” Wang Wen added, “Robots might bring changes to sports.” However, there were small problems. One robot fell at the start line. Another robot had to stop because of a technical barrier. 66. When was the Beijing Robot Marathon held? __________________________________________________________________________ 67. How long did the winning robot Lightning take to finish the half marathon? __________________________________________________________________________ 68. What technology does Lightning use from smartphones? __________________________________________________________________________ 69.

Liquid cooling technology. 69. Because of a technical barrier. 70. Surprised. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍2026北京机器人半马赛事，冠军机器人Lightning打破人类记录，相比去年机器人技术大幅进步，观众对此倍感震惊。但由于技术问题，机器人比赛仍存在故障问题。 【66题详解】 第一段明确指出“On April 19th, 2026 in Beijing, robots crossed the finish line ahead of humans for the first time.”这是原文的具体时间信息，直接提取。 【67题详解】 第二段提到“It finished the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds.”明确说明了机器人完成半马赛的时间，直接提取。 【68题详解】 第四段明确指出“It uses liquid cooling technology from smartphones.”原文信息直接提取。 【69题详解】 最后一段最后一句“Another robot had to stop because of a technical barrier.”明确指出了机器人停止的具体原因，原文信息直接提取。 【70题详解】 本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一，但观点需基于文中事实。最后一段Sun Zhigang原话“I never imagined that.”表明机器人的胜利使他感到非常的惊讶和出乎意料。因此可填Surprised。 七、书面表达（共1小题；满分25分） 71. 2026年江苏省运动会将于10月份在我市举办。假如你是李华，你校英文报“Youth&Sports”栏目正在征集“迎省运，展风采”主题的英文稿件。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： （1）介绍你为迎接省运会所做的准备（如报名志愿者、坚持体育锻炼、邀请更多的人来连云港观看比赛、……）； （2）分享你参与这场赛事的意义； （3）表达你对省运会的期待。 注意： （1）文章应涵盖内容要点，可适当发挥，使文章连贯。 （2）词数90左右，文章的开头已给出，不计入总次数； （3）文中不得出现考生的真实姓名、校名等信息。 The 2026 Jiangsu Provincial Sports Meeting is coming soon, and I am really excited about it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The 2026 Jiangsu Provincial Sports Meeting is coming soon, and I am really excited about it.

Let’s welcome Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi, and Chengcheng! These four horses are cute and full of energy. Their designs mix ancient history with modern art. Let’s meet them one by one. Qiqi’s design is based on the famous Bronze Colt-shaped Zun of Lord Li (蠡驹尊) from the Western Zhou Dynasty. It has a dark colour and wears a high hair bun. Qiqi looks calm, polite, and full of big dreams. Jiji takes its design from the Han Dynasty. Its body looks like the famous Bronze Galloping Horse (铜奔马). Look at its wings! They spread wide for the horse to fly high. The design of the wings comes from an ancient bronze umbrella handle. How brave and confident Jiji looks! Chichi shows the style of the Tang Dynasty. It is a Three-maned Horse. Its mane (鬃毛) is shaped into three bunches. This style was for the highest-ranking horses long ago. Chichi looks brave and strong. Chengcheng is a Przewalski’s horse (普氏野马)—the only wild horse species alive today! China now has the world’s largest number of them. This is a great achievement in wildlife protection. Chengcheng looks strong and fit, showing the good relationship between humans and the earth. These four horses bring joy and hope. They are ready to run into a happy New Year with you! 26.

Where are we most likely to read the passage? A. newspapers B. novels C. tour guides D. notices B The next day, we entered the Strait of Jubail, which leads to the Gulf of Suez (苏伊士湾). A few hours later, Captain Nemo told me that the Nautilus was about to enter the tunnel that led to the Mediterranean (地中海). It was difficult to enter the tunnel, so he drove the ship himself and invited me to watch. It was the first time I had been in the pilot’s dome. The captain turned on a powerful electric light, and we went slowly along a rock wall for about an hour. Then, I saw the opening of the tunnel, and the Nautilus entered it. The water flowed through the tunnel very quickly and carried the Nautilus along with it, and in only twenty minutes, we were in the Mediterranean. A day or two later, it came closer to the surface again. We were close to Crete. I was looking at the fish through the windows with Captain Nemo when suddenly I saw a man swimming to the window, and Captain Nemo made a sign to him. He swam away, and I did not see him again. “That was Nicholas,” said the captain. “He lives on an island but spends more time in the water than on land.” “Do you know him?” I asked. “Why not, Dr. Aronnax?” He opened a cupboard and I saw that it was full of gold bars. He filled a large box with them, closed it, and wrote an address on it. Four men carried the box out of the room. I went back to my room. What was Captain Nemo doing? Soon, I realized that the Nautilus was back on the surface, and I heard the dinghy leave. Two hours later, it returned. I wondered where they had taken the gold. I told Ned and Conseil about it. “Where does he get the gold, and where does it go?” we wondered. Toward the end of the next day, it became very hot in the Nautilus. Captain Nemo explained that we were in a stream of boiling water. We were above an underwater volcano (火山) that was erupting (爆发). It was too hot to stay there long. 29. What helped the Nautilus move quickly through the tunnel? A. The big rock walls. B. The powerful electric light. C. The fast-flowing water. D. The captain’s driving skills. 30. What does the underlined word “him” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Nicholas. B. Conseil. C. Dr. Aronnax. D. Captain Nemo. 31.

Nicholas and Captain Nemo were good friends. C. Aronnax would try his best to get the box of gold. D. The Nautilus would soon be on the surface again. C A great cultural event took place in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. The English-language The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu was performed (表演) in China for the first time. At the same time, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Dream of Nanke were also performed. These plays created a dialogue across time and space and showed the shared human feelings of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare (莎士比亚). Tang Xianzu from China and William Shakespeare from England were great writers during the mid-16th century. Though they never met, their works share many similarities. Their works were about themes like love, life and human spirits, and often used “dreams” in plays to express feelings that still touch people today. This idea was shown clearly at a gala held by CCTV in Fuzhou. In the drama Tang & Shakespeare, The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet appeared on the same stage. The performance showed Eastern “pure love” and Western “devoted love”, proving that writers from different cultures can express similar feelings about love and life. The English-language The Peony Pavilion was successful in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. However, it also faced a challenge: how to make the special singing and music of Kunqu opera easy to understand for English people? To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms (韵律) often found in Shakespeare’s plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in movement, dance and music. With actors from different countries, the performance became a real cultural exchange, not just a translation. Another exciting part of the event was the “Tang-Shakespeare Legacy: Youth Dialogue”, which brought together young actors from China and the UK. These young artists not only keep traditions alive, but also bring new ideas to classic works. Their work proves that cultural differences are bridges, not barriers (障碍). As we witness the exchange, we are reminded that the influence of Tang and Shakespeare is not limited to their time but lives on in every play, every shared story, and every heart it touches. 33. What do we know about Tang and Shakespeare according to the passage? A. They worked together to write plays. B. They were writers in different periods. C. They wrote plays in the same country. D. They used dreams to express feelings. 34. How did the performers help English speakers enjoy The Peony Pavilion? A. By inviting many famous international actors. B. By changing the old story into a modern one. C. By using Western rhythms and mixing art styles. D. By explaining the play before each performance. 35. Why are young artists important in this cultural event? A. They help make the performance shorter. B. They bring new life to traditional works. C. They follow old traditions without change. D. They decide which plays to be performed. 36. Which idea is best supported by the passage as a whole? A. Chinese artists play an important role in this cultural event. B. Traditional art should be protected without making changes. C. Cultural differences lead to misunderstandings without dialogue. D. Cultural exchange helps classical works connect different cultures. D As we walk the “path of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection (反省) can lead to personal improvement. However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful so we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us. As we live in social groups, there are many advantages of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us realize the dreams we are searching for. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans. The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage. Happiness shared will become happiness doubled and trouble shared will become trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness. The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement by talking with friendly and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems. The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills. Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the happiness of staying with a group of people is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships should be carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life” with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends. 37. According to the passage, close friendships have some “fruits” except ________. A. making our hearts peaceful B. realizing our dreams with friends’ help C. guiding our own feelings easily D. understanding our problems better 38. We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________. A. it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than our own B. our judgements won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings C. our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions D. it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems 39. Which shows the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②/③/④⑤⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤⑥ C. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥ D. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥ 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Walking “the path of life” B. Understanding of friendship C. Advice on making friends D. Improvements of social life 第二节：阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺连贯，其中有两项是多余选项。 Are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Sirish Subash, a 14-year-old student from Snellville, Georgia, US, recently won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge. ____41____ This won him $ 25,000 and the title of “Best Young Scientist in America”. Subash’s idea for the tool came from a simple yet important question. His mother always told him to wash fruit before eating it. ____42____ He learned that 70 percent of fruits and vegetables have pesticides. They can bring possible health problems like cancer. Washing only gets rid of part of the pesticides. “If we could find them, we could avoid eating them and lower the risk of those health problems,” Subash said. ____43____ It works by shining lights and seeing how light reflects (反射) off food. With the help of a sensor (传感器), a screen and an AI learning model, the tool can find out if there are pesticides around.

Now they can run half marathons (21.1 km). On April 19th, 2026 in Beijing, robots crossed the finish line ahead of humans for the first time. And they didn’t even sweat (流汗). Human runners fell to the ground, red-faced and tired. But the robots stood tall and unhurt. The winning robot, named Lightning, was made by Honor Company. It finished the race in 50 minutes and 26 seconds. That is faster than the human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds, set by a Ugandan runner in March. This is a big improvement from last year’s first robot race. In 2025, the winning robot took 2 hours and 40 minutes—more than twice the human winner’s time. Most robots couldn’t even finish. This year, several robots ran faster than professional human athletes. Nearly half of them navigated (导航) the race by themselves, without remote control. Engineer Du Xiaodi said Lightning was developed for one year. Its legs are like top human runners. It uses liquid cooling technology from smartphones. It will change many industries, such as manufacturing (制造业). Audience members were impressed. Sun Zhigang said, “This is the first time robots have beaten humans. I never imagined that.” Wang Wen added, “Robots might bring changes to sports.” However, there were small problems. One robot fell at the start line. Another robot had to stop because of a technical barrier. 66. When was the Beijing Robot Marathon held? __________________________________________________________________________ 67.
