The teacher, Professor Hoxha, only taught simple expressions and showed beautiful pictures of the country. Tom was bored. However, he attended every class and graduated on time. After graduating, Tom got a job at a company. He thought he was going to do something big. But the reality was that he only did some chores in the office, spending most of his time looking for pens or buying lunch for senior workers. He felt like office furniture (家具). One day, a new client (客户), Mr. Hoxha came to visit. He was the CEO of another company. As he shook hands boredly with Tom’s co-workers, Tom suddenly remembered his Albanian teacher. They shared the same Albanian last name—Hoxha! Tom decided to take the chance and greeted him in Albanian: “Mirëmëngjesi!” (Good morning!) The CEO’s face lit up. He was happy that someone could speak his language, though not much. Then they talked about Albania and how beautiful the country was. Finally, Mr. Hoxha made a big deal with Tom’s company and Tom got a key position. The “useless” class turned out to be the most useful one. 26. Why did Tom take the Albanian class? A.

He felt like office furniture.”，说明汤姆在职场中不受重视。 【29题详解】 根据最后一段“Finally, Mr. Hoxha made a big deal with Tom’s company...”可知，CEO和汤姆所在公司达成大额合作。 【30题详解】 曾经无用的课程意外带来职场机遇，说明学到的知识可能在不经意间帮到自己。 B 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Let’s make a paper horse that runs on itself and find out the science behind it! You will need: You will need: a piece of heavy paper scissors a smooth cardboard a ruler a pencil a stack of books Step 1 Draw and mark · Draw a rectangle (15cm×4.5cm) on a piece of paper. · Divide it into a 3×3 grid (网格) (5cm×1.5cm each). · Draw a curve (弧) on each of the four corners. · Mark different parts as shown in the picture. Step 2 Cut and fold · Cut out the whole rectangle, and then cut along the legs, stopping at the middle part. · Cut off the curves from the legs. · Fold the four legs down and fold up the neck and the tail. Curve the tail a little. Now you have a paper horse! Step 3 Let it run · Put the cardboard on a stack of books to make a slope. Place the horse at the top. Push it lightly – the horse runs down! The Science behind it Gravity (重力) pulls the horse down the slope. As the legs are curved, it doesn’t just slide (滑动) — it rocks side to side, looking like running. So if your horse doesn’t “run” well, make the slope higher by adding some books, change the position of the head or tail to fix balance, or round the legs more for better rocking. 31. What do we need in Step 1? A. Heavy paper, scissors and a ruler. B. Heavy paper, scissors and a pencil. C. Heavy paper, a ruler and a pencil. D. Heavy paper, a pencil and books. 32. Which picture shows the right paper horse you get in Step 2? A. B. C. D. 33. What makes the paper horse run? ① The curved legs. ② The gravity. ③ The slope. ④ The curved tail. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 34. What could we do if the paper horse doesn’t run? A. Cut out the tail B. Add more books. C. Make the legs flat. D. Make the slope longer. 35. The passage is probably from ________. A. www.storybird.com B. www.science-sparks.com C. www.skysports.com D. www.petsathome.com 【答案】31. C 32. B 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了自制滑行纸马的实验，依次列明所需材料、制作三步操作，最后解释重力带动纸马跑动的科学原理以及故障调整办法。 【31题详解】 Step 1为画图标记环节，需要厚卡纸、尺子、铅笔，对应原文操作内容；剪刀用于Step 2裁剪，书本用于Step 3搭建斜坡。 【32题详解】 Step 2中操作步骤为“· Cut out the whole rectangle, and then cut along the legs, stopping at the middle part.· Cut off the curves from the legs.· Fold the four legs down and fold up the neck and the tail. Curve the tail a little.”，剪掉腿部多余弧形、四条腿向下折叠，脖子与尾巴向上折、尾巴轻微弯曲，B选项符合形态特征。 【33题详解】 重力提供下滑拉力、弯曲的腿部实现左右摇摆、斜面提供下滑坡度，三者促成纸马跑动；弯曲尾巴只用来调整整体平衡，不是跑动条件。 【34题详解】 最后一段科学部分“So if your horse doesn’t ‘run’ well, make the slope higher by adding some books”，直接指出纸马跑动不畅时可以增添书本垫高斜面。 【35题详解】 文章围绕趣味科学小实验展开，内容贴合科学科普网站。故事、体育、宠物类网站和文章主题无关。 C On April 19, 2026, at the Beijing E-Town half marathon (马拉松), a humanoid robot named “Flash” crossed the finish line in 50′26″, beating the human world record of 57′20″ in 2025. For the first time, a machine had outrun the best human runners in a long-distance race. This was no accident. The victory showed that robots had reached a new level of skill in working independently. More than 40 percent of the competing robots ran completely on their own. Using only sensors (传感器), cameras and other tools, these robots could see the road in real time and independently complete difficult tasks such as avoiding obstacles (障碍物) and planning their own ways. Even the course itself was made more challenging by including hills and turns. Yet, the leading self-driving robots still did well with added difficulties. Besides, engineers used to need several minutes to change the battery and restart the robot. This year, however, the process only took a few seconds with the development of hot-swap battery technology (热插拔电池技术). With it, the robot no longer needed to shut down, saving much time. The marathon is more than a sports event. It’s a real-world test for robots. This helps engineers find their weaknesses and improve their designs, which opens the door for robots to be used more widely—in factories, in hospitals, and even at home helping people. We are now seeing the rise of smarter machines that are learning to live in our world. Clearly, the robot race has only just begun. 36. What did the robot “Flash” do? A. Beat a human record. B. Broke a machine. C. Recorded running time. D. Lost a running race. 37. What do we know about the competing robots this year? A. They could run without sensors or cameras. B. All of them completed the race independently. C. They depended on humans to plan their ways. D. Some succeeded in dealing with the challenges. 38. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. The battery. B. The robot. C. The technology. D. The event. 39. According to Paragraph 4, what’s the value of the robot marathon? A. It serves as a show for people to enjoy and relax. B. It allows workers and doctors to free their hands. C. It helps the public to understand running events. D. It provides more information for future improvement. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Fastest Human Runner in History B. From Racing to Reality: Humanoid Robots C. How to Train a Robot for a Marathon D. The History of the Beijing Robot Marathon 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. C 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文以人形机器人Flash在北京亦庄半程马拉松打破人类世界纪录为引入，介绍了当前人形机器人在自主运动、电池方面的技术突破，说明了机器人马拉松赛事对测试改进机器人技术、推动人形机器人走入实际生产生活应用的重要价值。 【36题详解】 根据第一段“a humanoid robot named ‘Flash’ crossed the finish line in 50′26″, beating the human world record of 57′20″ in 2025”可知，Flash打破了人类的赛事纪录。 【37题详解】 根据第二段“Even the course itself was made more challenging by including hills and turns. Yet, the leading self-driving robots still did well with added difficulties.”可知，赛道增设坡道、弯道等挑战，但头部机器人依旧表现良好，说明部分机器人成功应对了难题。 【38题详解】 根据第三段“This year, however, the process only took a few seconds with the development of hot-swap battery technology.”可知，it指代前文的hot-swap battery technology，依靠这项技术，机器人换电无需关机，节省时间。 【39题详解】 根据第四段“It’s a real-world test for robots. This helps engineers find their weaknesses and improve their designs”可知，赛事能帮工程师发现短板、优化设计，为后续改良提供数据参考，对应D选项。 【40题详解】 全文从机器人马拉松竞速切入，介绍机器人技术进步、赛事的实用研发价值以及机器人落地现实各行各业的前景，因此From Racing to Reality: Humanoid Robots最贴合全文主旨。 D Imagine an ice cube at -4°C. You raise the temperature to -3°C, then -2°C, yet nothing changes. It stays frozen at -1°C—seemingly untouched by your effort. Only at 0°C does it finally begin to melt (融化). The process is like when you have been trying for weeks but see no progress. This experience is so common that it even has a name—the ice cube theory, from Atomic Habits by James Clear. So where does the heat go before melting begins? Those early efforts aren’t wasted—they are building up. This period of unseen progress is called the Plateau of Latent Potential (潜力高原期), a time when work is being stored as hidden potential, waiting to cross a certain point. This pattern shows up everywhere. Consider how bamboo grows. It spends its first five years building large root systems underground, and shoots 90 feet into the air in just six weeks. In our minds, we often expect rapid, linear progress, but real growth often appears later than expected. This mismatch between expectation and reality creates disappointment and self-doubt, leading many to give up just before their breakthrough. However, once we pass the key point, all that stored energy suddenly pays off, and big changes come almost overnight. To reach that moment, what’s required isn’t just effort—it’s a shift (转变) in mindset. Trust the process, focus on your daily plans and celebrate small wins. Above all, keep trying even if you don’t see results. Next time you feel stuck, remember the ice cube: your breakthrough may be just one degree away. 41. Which picture best describes “the ice cube theory”? A. B. C. D. 42. Why does the writer mention bamboo in Paragraph 2? A. To describe bamboo growth. B. To encourage nature study. C. To explain the growth pattern. D. To compare different plants. 43. According to the writer, why do many people give up? A. Because they are too lazy to continue. B. Because they want quick progress but see little. C. Because the key point is too hard to reach. D. Because they fail to discover their potential. 44. Who is most likely to achieve a breakthrough? A. Jack who makes plans without taking actions. B. Amy who cheers for every little bit of progress. C. Brad who values results more than process. D. Lucy who puts in effort but stops halfway. 45. Which of the following best matches the main idea of the passage? A. Time waits for no man. B. A tall bamboo bears no fruit. C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Every coin has its two sides. 【答案】41. A 42. C 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以冰块融化、竹子生长为例阐释了“冰块理论”——前期努力看似无用，实则在积蓄潜能。人们常因未见成效而放弃，但坚持跨过临界点就能迎来蜕变。 【41题详解】 第一段指出：“Imagine an ice cube at -4°C...begin to melt (融化).”，冰块从-4°C升温至-1°C，全程没有融化，这说明曲线平缓，到0°C开始融化，曲线飙升。 【42题详解】 第二段提到：“Those early efforts aren’t wasted...Consider how bamboo grows.”，作者用竹子举例，解释前期默默积蓄能量，后期爆发的成长模式。 【43题详解】 第三段介绍：“In our minds, we often expect...just before their breakthrough.”，人们期待快速进步，但短期内看不到成果，这导致人们失望并自我怀疑，最终选择放弃。 【44题详解】 最后一段指出：“Trust the process, focus on your daily plans and celebrate small wins. Above all, keep trying even if you don’t see results.”，专注日常计划、为小小的进步喝彩、坚持下去的人最有可能取得突破。 【45题详解】 通读全文，文章强调成功需要长期积累，前期看不到进步，攒够实力才能取得突破，因此谚语“罗马非一日建成”符合文章主旨。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个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，意思完整。 E Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.

E 【解析】 【导语】本文通过列举保护环境的四种实用做法，号召大家关注地球现状与环境问题，呼吁大家携手共建美好地球。 【46题详解】 前文介绍了地球日的意义，后文列举了各种环保办法，C选项“People are encouraged to take actions.”指出人们要采取行动，承上启下，符合逻辑。 【47题详解】 空后“For example, you can drink from reusable water bottles rather than use plastic ones.”举例说明要使用可重复利用的水杯，符合B选项“You can try to change small habits.”从小事做起的具体做法，且与本段小标题“Start with small things.”相呼应。 【48题详解】 空后“you can eat the food you grow”提到可以吃自己种植的食物，D选项“You could even start a vegetable garden.”与种植植物直接相关，符合逻辑。 【49题详解】 空后“Think of ways to help the Earth and share your ideas with others...as well.”涉及分享和鼓励亲友参与的内容，A选项“Call on more people.”概括本段主题，符合小标题要求。 【50题详解】 空前“On Earth Day, people across the world will come together at special events, such as a march, a beach cleanup, or a nature walk.”列举了各类地球日活动，E选项“Check earthday.org to find events near you.”提供参与活动的具体途径，逻辑连贯。 第二部分 （非选择题） Ⅴ．情景交际 根据情景提示，用得体的英语完成下列对话。 51. A: Nice to meet you! B: ________________________________________! 【答案】Nice to meet you too 【解析】 【详解】根据“Nice to meet you”可知，此处应表达为“见到你也很高兴”用Nice to meet you too。故填Nice to meet you too。 52. A: You look unhappy. _______________? B: I lost my camera. 【答案】 What’s wrong##What’s the matter 【解析】 【详解】根据上文“You look unhappy.”和下文“I lost my camera.”，可知说话人A是在询问B发生了什么事或不开心的原因。当看到对方情绪低落或想了解发生了什么问题时，常用句型What’s wrong?或 What’s the matter?，意为“怎么了？”或“出什么事了？”。句首单词首字母需大写，句末题干已给出问号。故填What’s wrong/What’s the matter。 53. A: ____________ eggs do I need to make a cake? B: Six eggs. 【答案】 How many 【解析】 【详解】根据答句“Six eggs.”可知，问句是在询问制作蛋糕需要多少个鸡蛋。eggs是可数名词复数，对可数名词数量提问要用How many。 54. A: ______________ have breakfast? B: Usually at 7:30. 【答案】 What time do you/When do you 【解析】 【详解】答句回答的是吃早饭的具体时间。因此，问句可以用What time（侧重具体时刻）或者When（宽泛询问时间）来提问，故What time do you或者When do you两种问法均符合语境。 55. A: I will visit Beijing with my parents on summer vacation. B: ________________________________! 【答案】 Have a good time 【解析】 【详解】根据“I will visit Beijing with my parents on summer vacation.”可知，听到对方的旅行计划时，应当礼貌地送出游玩祝福；have a good time“玩得开心”，句首首字母大写。 Ⅵ．看图写话 根据所给图片和提示词，写出一个与图画情景相符的句子。 56. look ____________________________________ 57. last weekend ____________________________________ 58. than ____________________________________ 59. have, twice ____________________________________ 60. if ____________________________________ 【答案】56. The flower/rose looks beautiful. 57. They had a picnic last weekend. 58. Peter is fatter/heavier than Sam.或Sam is thinner than Peter. 59. I have been to Shanghai twice./He has been to Shanghai twice. 60. He will go boating if it is sunny/fine. 【解析】 【56题详解】 据提示词“look”和玫瑰花的图片可知，此处想表达的是“这朵花/玫瑰花看起来很漂亮”，look为系动词，主语the flower/rose是单数名词，谓语动词使用第三人称单数looks。用英语表述为The flower/rose looks beautiful. 【57题详解】 根据提示词“last weekend”和三人户外野餐的图片可知，此处想表达的是“他们上周末进行了野餐”，last weekend是一般过去时标志词，have a picnic里的have要变为过去式had。用英语表述为They had a picnic last weekend. 【58题详解】 根据提示词“than” 和Peter、Sam体型对比的图片可知，此处想表达的是“Peter比Sam更胖/重，或Sam比Peter更瘦”，than是形容词比较级标志，fat的比较级fatter、heavy的比较级heavier、thin的比较级thinner。用英语表述为Peter is fatter/heavier than Sam.或Sam is thinner than Peter. 【59题详解】 根据提示词“have, twice”和上海地标建筑的图片可知，此处想表达的是“我/他去过上海两次”，twice用于现在完成时，have been to表示去过某地，主语I搭配have，主语He搭配has。用英语表述为I have been to Shanghai twice./He has been to Shanghai twice. 【60题详解】 根据提示词“if”和晴天划船的图片可知，此处想表达的是“如果天气晴朗，他将要去划船”，if引导条件状语从句遵循主将从现，go boating是固定短语表示划船sunny/fine均可表示天气晴朗。用英语表述为He will go boating if it is sunny/fine.

All the popular language classes were full, so he had to take Albanian. Tom thought it would be the most useless class ever. The Albanian class was held in a basement (地下室). The teacher, Professor Hoxha, only taught simple expressions and showed beautiful pictures of the country. Tom was bored. However, he attended every class and graduated on time. After graduating, Tom got a job at a company. He thought he was going to do something big. But the reality was that he only did some chores in the office, spending most of his time looking for pens or buying lunch for senior workers. He felt like office furniture (家具). One day, a new client (客户), Mr. Hoxha came to visit. He was the CEO of another company. As he shook hands boredly with Tom’s co-workers, Tom suddenly remembered his Albanian teacher. They shared the same Albanian last name—Hoxha! Tom decided to take the chance and greeted him in Albanian: “Mirëmëngjesi!” (Good morning!) The CEO’s face lit up. He was happy that someone could speak his language, though not much. Then they talked about Albania and how beautiful the country was. Finally, Mr. Hoxha made a big deal with Tom’s company and Tom got a key position. The “useless” class turned out to be the most useful one. 26. Why did Tom take the Albanian class? A. He was interested in language learning. B. He needed one more class to graduate. C. Albanian was popular among students. D. Albanian was useful for his future job. 27.

He was Tom’s new boss. B. He taught Tom in the college. C. He couldn’t speak Albanian. D. He made a big deal with Tom’s company. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Popular classes in college are useful to us. B. Sticking to boring things leads to success. C. What you learn may help you unexpectedly. D. Being kind to others helps you to succeed. B 2026 is the Year of the Horse. Let’s make a paper horse that runs on itself and find out the science behind it! You will need: You will need: a piece of heavy paper scissors a smooth cardboard a ruler a pencil a stack of books Step 1 Draw and mark · Draw a rectangle (15cm×4.5cm) on a piece of paper. · Divide it into a 3×3 grid (网格) (5cm×1.5cm each). · Draw a curve (弧) on each of the four corners. · Mark different parts as shown in the picture. Step 2 Cut and fold · Cut out the whole rectangle, and then cut along the legs, stopping at the middle part. · Cut off the curves from the legs. · Fold the four legs down and fold up the neck and the tail. Curve the tail a little. Now you have a paper horse! Step 3 Let it run · Put the cardboard on a stack of books to make a slope. Place the horse at the top. Push it lightly – the horse runs down! The Science behind it Gravity (重力) pulls the horse down the slope. As the legs are curved, it doesn’t just slide (滑动) — it rocks side to side, looking like running. So if your horse doesn’t “run” well, make the slope higher by adding some books, change the position of the head or tail to fix balance, or round the legs more for better rocking. 31. What do we need in Step 1? A. Heavy paper, scissors and a ruler. B. Heavy paper, scissors and a pencil. C. Heavy paper, a ruler and a pencil. D. Heavy paper, a pencil and books. 32. Which picture shows the right paper horse you get in Step 2? A. B. C. D. 33. What makes the paper horse run? ① The curved legs. ② The gravity. ③ The slope. ④ The curved tail. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 34. What could we do if the paper horse doesn’t run? A. Cut out the tail B. Add more books. C. Make the legs flat. D. Make the slope longer. 35. The passage is probably from ________. A. www.storybird.com B. www.science-sparks.com C. www.skysports.com D. www.petsathome.com C On April 19, 2026, at the Beijing E-Town half marathon (马拉松), a humanoid robot named “Flash” crossed the finish line in 50′26″, beating the human world record of 57′20″ in 2025. For the first time, a machine had outrun the best human runners in a long-distance race. This was no accident. The victory showed that robots had reached a new level of skill in working independently. More than 40 percent of the competing robots ran completely on their own. Using only sensors (传感器), cameras and other tools, these robots could see the road in real time and independently complete difficult tasks such as avoiding obstacles (障碍物) and planning their own ways. Even the course itself was made more challenging by including hills and turns. Yet, the leading self-driving robots still did well with added difficulties. Besides, engineers used to need several minutes to change the battery and restart the robot. This year, however, the process only took a few seconds with the development of hot-swap battery technology (热插拔电池技术). With it, the robot no longer needed to shut down, saving much time. The marathon is more than a sports event. It’s a real-world test for robots. This helps engineers find their weaknesses and improve their designs, which opens the door for robots to be used more widely—in factories, in hospitals, and even at home helping people. We are now seeing the rise of smarter machines that are learning to live in our world. Clearly, the robot race has only just begun. 36. What did the robot “Flash” do? A. Beat a human record. B. Broke a machine. C. Recorded running time. D. Lost a running race. 37. What do we know about the competing robots this year? A. They could run without sensors or cameras. B. All of them completed the race independently. C. They depended on humans to plan their ways. D. Some succeeded in dealing with the challenges. 38. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3? A. The battery. B. The robot. C. The technology. D. The event. 39. According to Paragraph 4, what’s the value of the robot marathon? A. It serves as a show for people to enjoy and relax. B. It allows workers and doctors to free their hands. C. It helps the public to understand running events. D. It provides more information for future improvement. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Fastest Human Runner in History B. From Racing to Reality: Humanoid Robots C. How to Train a Robot for a Marathon D. The History of the Beijing Robot Marathon D Imagine an ice cube at -4°C. You raise the temperature to -3°C, then -2°C, yet nothing changes. It stays frozen at -1°C—seemingly untouched by your effort. Only at 0°C does it finally begin to melt (融化). The process is like when you have been trying for weeks but see no progress. This experience is so common that it even has a name—the ice cube theory, from Atomic Habits by James Clear. So where does the heat go before melting begins? Those early efforts aren’t wasted—they are building up. This period of unseen progress is called the Plateau of Latent Potential (潜力高原期), a time when work is being stored as hidden potential, waiting to cross a certain point. This pattern shows up everywhere. Consider how bamboo grows. It spends its first five years building large root systems underground, and shoots 90 feet into the air in just six weeks. In our minds, we often expect rapid, linear progress, but real growth often appears later than expected. This mismatch between expectation and reality creates disappointment and self-doubt, leading many to give up just before their breakthrough. However, once we pass the key point, all that stored energy suddenly pays off, and big changes come almost overnight. To reach that moment, what’s required isn’t just effort—it’s a shift (转变) in mindset. Trust the process, focus on your daily plans and celebrate small wins. Above all, keep trying even if you don’t see results. Next time you feel stuck, remember the ice cube: your breakthrough may be just one degree away. 41. Which picture best describes “the ice cube theory”? A. B. C. D. 42. Why does the writer mention bamboo in Paragraph 2? A. To describe bamboo growth. B. To encourage nature study. C. To explain the growth pattern. D. To compare different plants. 43. According to the writer, why do many people give up? A. Because they are too lazy to continue. B. Because they want quick progress but see little. C. Because the key point is too hard to reach. D. Because they fail to discover their potential. 44. Who is most likely to achieve a breakthrough? A. Jack who makes plans without taking actions. B. Amy who cheers for every little bit of progress. C. Brad who values results more than process. D. Lucy who puts in effort but stops halfway. 45. Which of the following best matches the main idea of the passage? A. Time waits for no man. B. A tall bamboo bears no fruit. C. Rome was not built in a day. D. Every coin has its two sides. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个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，意思完整。 E Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.
