Across the country, traditional crafts are enjoying a remarkable revival, with young people leading the way. To support this movement, the Provincial Museum is proud to announce its 2026 Young Inheritors Summer Programme, open to students aged 14 to 18.
For two weeks this July, you will learn directly from master craftspeople in fields such as embroidery, paper-cutting, lacquer (漆) art and folk music. Unlike an ordinary class, the programme encourages you to give these old skills a modern voice — you might redesign a classic pattern, or use short videos to share what you have made with a wider audience online.
Programme details
Dates: 13-24 July (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.)
Place: Provincial Museum, Education Wing
Fee: 500 yuan, including all materials and a daily lunch. Thanks to a new government fund, fifty free places are reserved for students from rural areas.
How to apply: Fill in the online form before 28 June and attach a short video (under one minute) explaining which craft interests you and why. Places are limited to 60 students; successful applicants will be notified by 4 July.
Good to know: Attendance at all sessions is required; students who miss more than two days cannot receive the completion certificate. No experience is necessary — what matters is genuine interest. On the final day, your works will be displayed in a public exhibition, to which your families are warmly invited.

Three years ago, few people had heard of Lin Yue. Today, the twenty-two-year-old has more than a million followers who tune in to watch her turn silk thread into tiny, lifelike flowers — a form of traditional embroidery that her grandmother once feared would die out.
Lin did not set out to become famous. As a university student, she simply filmed herself practising the craft to record her progress. To her surprise, the quiet videos of needle and thread attracted thousands of comments. Viewers said the slow, careful movements helped them relax, and many asked where they could learn the skill themselves.
The attention was not always easy to handle. Some older craftspeople worried that turning embroidery into online entertainment would cheapen it. Lin understood their concern, but she disagreed. “If no young person ever sees this art, it will disappear no matter how pure we keep it,” she said. Rather than copying old patterns exactly, she began designing pieces inspired by modern life — cartoon characters, city skylines, even popular internet jokes — while keeping the traditional stitches at their heart.
Her approach reflects a wider change. Surveys show that most young people in China now believe blending youth culture with traditional arts makes them more appealing, and hundreds of schools have added heritage crafts to their lessons. What was once seen as old-fashioned is becoming a source of pride. Teachers say her videos have even drawn shy students into after-school craft clubs.
For Lin, the greatest reward is not the followers or the income, but the messages from teenagers who have picked up a needle for the first time. “I used to think I was just keeping something old alive,” she said. “Now I realise I am helping it grow.”
24. Why did Lin Yue start filming herself?
A. To become famous online.
B. To sell her silk flowers.
C. To teach online classes.
D. To record her own progress.
25. What worried some older craftspeople?
A. That turning it into online entertainment would cheapen it.
B. That Lin would stop practising the craft.
C. That young people would lose all interest.
D. That schools would stop teaching crafts.
26. What does Lin Yue's example mainly show?
A. Social media harms old traditions.
B. Tradition can thrive by linking with modern culture.
C. Embroidery is the most popular online craft.
D. Old patterns should never be changed.
27. What does Lin mean by “helping it grow”?
A. Making the silk flowers larger.
B. Earning more money from her videos.
C. Helping the art develop and spread further.
D. Teaching only her grandmother.
C
Walk through any shopping centre and the message is hard to miss: happiness is always one more purchase away. A newer phone, a faster laptop, another pair of shoes — advertisements promise that the next item will finally make us feel complete. Yet a growing number of young people are quietly questioning whether buying more actually makes them happier.
Researchers have long noticed that the pleasure of a new product fades fast. Within a few weeks, the exciting gadget becomes an ordinary object, and the search for the next one begins. Psychologists call this endless cycle the “hedonic treadmill”: however much we gain, we soon return to where we started, still wanting more.
Partly in response, a way of living known as minimalism has spread among young people in recent years. Minimalists choose to own fewer things, keeping only what they genuinely use or value. By spending less on objects, they argue, they free up money and time for experiences — travelling, learning a skill, or simply being with people they love. Recent studies support them: experiences, it seems, tend to bring longer-lasting satisfaction than possessions do. They add that giving away or repairing what we already own often brings a quiet pride that shopping never does.
Minimalism, however, is not about owning nothing or refusing to enjoy life, and it does not claim that money is unimportant. Money still buys security and opportunity. The real question, supporters say, is not how much we own but whether our spending reflects what truly matters to us. Someone who buys a single book and reads it with care may gain far more than someone whose shelves are full of titles never opened. The point, they stress, is not to count our things but to make sure the things we keep truly serve our lives.
In the end, using money wisely may have less to do with earning more and more to do with wanting less.
28. What does the phrase “hedonic treadmill” describe?
A. A type of exercise machine.
B. A method of saving money.
C. A popular shopping app.
D. The endless wish for more after each purchase.
29. What do minimalists choose to do?
A. Keep only what they truly use or value.
B. Own nothing at all.
C. Stop spending money completely.
D. Buy experiences rather than food.
30. What is the author's attitude towards minimalism?
A. Strongly opposed to it.
B. Broadly supportive of it.
C. Supportive but doubtful of its value.
D. Indifferent to it.
31. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Earn More Money
B. The Rise of Online Shopping
C. Wanting Less, Living More
D. Why Experiences Cost More
D
The year 2026 may be remembered as one of the most exciting in the history of space exploration. In April, the Artemis II mission carried astronauts on a journey around the Moon — the first crewed lunar flight in more than fifty years. Travelling farther from Earth than any humans before them, the crew did not land, but their flight tested the systems that will one day return people to the lunar surface.
The Moon was not the only destination. Later in the year, China planned to send its Chang'e 7 spacecraft to the Moon's south pole, a region thought to contain frozen water. Such water could one day be turned into drinking water, breathable air, or even fuel, making a long-term human base far more practical. Meanwhile, a Japanese mission set out on an even bolder task: to land on one of Mars's tiny moons and bring a piece of it back to Earth — something never attempted before.
Why does any of this matter to ordinary people? For one thing, the technologies invented for space frequently improve life at home. Lightweight materials, water-cleaning systems and better weather forecasting all have roots in space research. For another, exploring other worlds deepens our understanding of our own. The more we learn about the dead, frozen landscapes of the Moon and Mars, the more we appreciate how rare and precious the living Earth truly is.
Of course, space missions cannot solve every problem on our planet, and they are not meant to. But the same curiosity that drives humanity to reach for distant worlds is what pushes us to ask questions, to invent, and to keep moving forward. In reaching outward, we may learn most about ourselves.
32. What was special about the Artemis II mission?
A. It landed astronauts on the Moon.
B. It brought back rocks from the Moon.
C. It searched for water at the south pole.
D. It was the first crewed Moon flight in over fifty years.
33. Why is the Moon's south pole important?
A. It may hold water that a future base could use.
B. It is the region Artemis II explored.
C. It is where a human base has already been built.
D. It is where people can breathe the air naturally.
34. What point does paragraph 3 mainly make?
A. Studying other worlds makes Earth seem ordinary.
B. Space research also improves everyday life on Earth.
C. Better weather forecasting is space's main purpose.
D. Lightweight materials are used only in spacecraft.
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration should replace work on Earth.
B. People explore space mainly to escape Earth's problems.
C. Curiosity drives both exploration and human progress.
D. We can understand ourselves only by leaving Earth.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Museums are among the best places to learn about history, art and culture. Yet many visitors leave feeling tired and remembering very little, having tried to see everything at once. ___36___
___37___ Before you arrive, look at the museum's map or website and choose two or three exhibitions you really want to see. Trying to cover every room only leaves you exhausted. A focused plan turns a huge building into a manageable and enjoyable trip; there is no prize for seeing the most rooms.
Once inside, slow down. ___38___ Stand in front of a single painting, read its description, and ask yourself why it was made. A few objects understood well are worth more than a hundred glanced at. Real understanding grows from attention, not from speed.
Don't rely on your eyes alone. Most museums offer guided tours, audio guides or short talks, and a knowledgeable guide can bring a silent object to life. ___39___
Finally, leave time to reflect. ___40___ Sitting quietly for a few minutes afterwards, or noting one thing that surprised you, helps the visit stay with you long after you have gone home. Even a single new idea, carried home, can make the whole trip worthwhile.
A. Start by deciding what matters most to you.
B. Fortunately, a few simple habits can completely change your experience.
C. Quality of attention matters far more than quantity.
D. Popular galleries are often most crowded in the middle of the day.
E. So don't be afraid to ask the staff for help.
F. Photographs can help you remember what you have seen.
G. The best memories often form after the visit ends.

It was a freezing evening in January, and I was hurrying home on the last bus, tired after a long day at school.
A few stops later, an elderly woman climbed on slowly, holding several heavy ___41___. When the driver asked for the fare, she searched her pockets again and again, her face turning red with ___42___. She did not have enough coins. The driver looked impatient, and a few passengers began to ___43___ quietly. The woman whispered that she would simply get off and ___44___ home instead.
For a moment I hesitated. I only had a little money, and helping a ___45___ was not something I usually did. But the sight of her standing there, cold and embarrassed, ___46___ something in me. Without thinking twice, I ___47___: “Please, let her stay.” Then I stood up and quietly paid the rest of her fare. The woman looked at me with ___48___ eyes and thanked me again and again.
She sat down beside me, and we ___49___ for the whole journey. She told me about her grandchildren, and I told her about my exams. By the time she reached her stop, the tired, ___50___ mood on the bus had completely changed. Several passengers were now ___51___, and one even helped her carry the bags down the steps.
That night I could not stop thinking about how a few coins had made such a ___52___. I had always believed that to change the world you needed to do something ___53___. Now I understood that even the ___54___ act of kindness can warm a cold evening — and perhaps a whole life. Since then, I have tried to keep my eyes ___55___ for people who simply need a little help.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom and Jack had been best friends since primary school, sharing everything from lunch to secrets. So when Tom's prized notebook — the one full of his own comic drawings — disappeared from his desk one Friday, he was heartbroken.
That morning, Tom had noticed Jack standing near his desk during the break. When the notebook could not be found anywhere, a cold thought crept into his mind: had his best friend taken it? He did not want to believe it, yet the more he thought, the angrier he became.
Over the weekend, Tom refused to answer Jack's messages. On Monday he avoided him in the corridor and sat with other classmates at lunch. Jack looked hurt and confused, but Tom said nothing. A wall had risen between the two friends, and neither knew how to cross it.
Then on Thursday, Tom came back from lunch to find a small parcel resting on his desk. His own name was written on it in Jack's familiar handwriting. Around him, a few classmates glanced over, curious to see what it was.
With trembling hands, Tom tore off the brown paper — and for a moment he could only stare at what lay inside.
注意:(1)续写词数应为 150 左右;(2)请按所给段落开头语续写两段。
That afternoon, Tom slowly opened the parcel Jack had left.
The next morning, Tom found Jack waiting at the school gate.

【答案】B 【解析】第三段以“the technologies invented for space frequently improve life at home”(为太空发明的技术常改善地球上的生活)及“deepens our understanding of our own ... how rare and precious the living Earth truly is”说明太空研究也惠及地球日常生活(A项与“appreciate how rare and precious Earth is”相反;C项以偏概全:天气预报只是其中一例;D项与“have roots in space research”但用于家中相矛盾)故选B。
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Space exploration should replace work on Earth.
B. People explore space mainly to escape Earth's problems.
C. Curiosity drives both exploration and human progress.
D. We can understand ourselves only by leaving Earth.
【答案】C 【解析】根据末段“the same curiosity that drives humanity to reach for distant worlds is what pushes us to ask questions, to invent, and to keep moving forward”(驱使人类探索远方的好奇心,也正是促使我们发问、创造、不断前行的力量)可推知,好奇心既驱动太空探索,也推动人类进步(A项与“space missions ... are not meant to”及“not opposites”相悖;C项偷换探索动机;D项过度推断,原文为“may learn most about ourselves”)故选C。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Museums are among the best places to learn about history, art and culture. Yet many visitors leave feeling tired and remembering very little, having tried to see everything at once. ___36___
___37___ Before you arrive, look at the museum's map or website and choose two or three exhibitions you really want to see. Trying to cover every room only leaves you exhausted. A focused plan turns a huge building into a manageable and enjoyable trip; there is no prize for seeing the most rooms.
Once inside, slow down. ___38___ Stand in front of a single painting, read its description, and ask yourself why it was made. A few objects understood well are worth more than a hundred glanced at. Real understanding grows from attention, not from speed.
Don't rely on your eyes alone. Most museums offer guided tours, audio guides or short talks, and a knowledgeable guide can bring a silent object to life. ___39___
Finally, leave time to reflect. ___40___ Sitting quietly for a few minutes afterwards, or noting one thing that surprised you, helps the visit stay with you long after you have gone home. Even a single new idea, carried home, can make the whole trip worthwhile.
A. Start by deciding what matters most to you.
B. Fortunately, a few simple habits can completely change your experience.
C. Quality of attention matters far more than quantity.
D. Popular galleries are often most crowded in the middle of the day.
E. So don't be afraid to ask the staff for help.
F. Photographs can help you remember what you have seen.
G. The best memories often form after the visit ends.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍如何充分利用一次博物馆参观。
【36】B 根据空前“many visitors leave feeling tired and remembering very little, having tried to see everything at once”(许多参观者因想一次看完全部而疲惫离场、记不住什么)及下一段开始给出建议可知,空处为承上启下的过渡句(段尾)。B选项“Fortunately, a few simple habits can completely change your experience.(幸好,几个简单的习惯就能彻底改变你的体验)”引出下文建议,故选B项。
【37】A 段首空。根据空后“Before you arrive, look at the museum's map or website and choose two or three exhibitions you really want to see”(到达前先看看地图或网站,挑出两三个最想看的展览)可知,本段主旨是先确定重点。A选项“Start by deciding what matters most to you.(先想清楚什么对你最重要)”作主题句,故选A项。
【38】C 根据空前“Once inside, slow down”(进馆后放慢脚步)及空后“A few objects understood well are worth more than a hundred glanced at”(看懂几件远胜走马观花上百件)可知,C选项“Quality of attention matters far more than quantity.(专注的质量远比数量重要)”承接,故选C项。
【39】E 段尾空。根据空前“a knowledgeable guide can bring a silent object to life”(懂行的讲解员能让沉默的展品活起来)可知,空处顺势建议主动求助以收束本段。E选项“So don't be afraid to ask the staff for help.(所以别怕向工作人员求助)”最贴切,故选E项。
【40】G 根据空前“leave time to reflect”(留点时间回味)及空后“Sitting quietly for a few minutes afterwards ... helps the visit stay with you long after you have gone home”(事后安静坐几分钟……能让这次参观长久留在记忆里)可知,G选项“The best memories often form after the visit ends.(最好的记忆往往在参观结束后才形成)”衔接,故选G项。
【干扰项】干扰项 D、F 均为“文本相关但逻辑不接”的强干扰:D“热门展厅正午最拥挤”看似与‘规划参观’有关,却无法承接第二段“看地图、选两三个展览”的逻辑;F“拍照有助于记住所见”与第五段‘记忆’话题相关,易在 40 空误选,但该空强调‘安静回味’而非拍照,故排除。

For a moment I hesitated. I only had a little money, and helping a ___45___ was not something I usually did. But the sight of her standing there, cold and embarrassed, ___46___ something in me.

Possible Version (Word count: 约 100 词)
Dear Jim,
How is everything going? I'd love to share a meaningful activity our class took part in last week — a visit to a community care home for the elderly.
That afternoon, we chatted with the old people and listened to their life stories, helped tidy their rooms and water the flowers in the yard, and put on a few songs and dances for them. Their warm smiles made all our efforts worthwhile.
The visit taught me how much company means to the elderly, and how a small act of kindness can warm someone's heart. I have learned to care more for others. I hope you can join us next time!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tom and Jack had been best friends since primary school, sharing everything from lunch to secrets. So when Tom's prized notebook — the one full of his own comic drawings — disappeared from his desk one Friday, he was heartbroken.
That morning, Tom had noticed Jack standing near his desk during the break. When the notebook could not be found anywhere, a cold thought crept into his mind: had his best friend taken it? He did not want to believe it, yet the more he thought, the angrier he became.
Over the weekend, Tom refused to answer Jack's messages. On Monday he avoided him in the corridor and sat with other classmates at lunch. Jack looked hurt and confused, but Tom said nothing. A wall had risen between the two friends, and neither knew how to cross it.
Then on Thursday, Tom came back from lunch to find a small parcel resting on his desk. His own name was written on it in Jack's familiar handwriting. Around him, a few classmates glanced over, curious to see what it was.
With trembling hands, Tom tore off the brown paper — and for a moment he could only stare at what lay inside.
注意:(1)续写词数应为 150 左右;(2)请按所给段落开头语续写两段。
That afternoon, Tom slowly opened the parcel Jack had left. Inside lay his missing notebook — but it looked better than ever. Its torn cover had been carefully repaired and rebound, and a short note in Jack's hand explained everything. Jack had noticed for weeks that the cover was falling apart, and that Friday he had quietly taken the book to a little shop to have it mended as a surprise. The repair had simply taken longer than planned. The cold suspicion Tom had carried all week melted into shame. His best friend had been trying to do something kind, and in return he had treated him like a thief.
The next morning, Tom found Jack waiting at the school gate. For a second neither of them spoke. Then Tom stepped forward and said he was sorry — sorry for doubting him, and sorry for the long, cold silence. Jack only grinned and said he had wanted the new cover to be a surprise. In an instant the wall between them came down, and the two friends walked into school side by side, talking as if no quarrel had ever happened. From that day on, Tom promised himself that he would never again judge a friend so quickly, for the truth is often kinder than our fears.
【写作指导】续写紧扣线索:拆开包裹发现是 Jack 悄悄拿去修补、重新装订的画本并附字条,误会冰释而生愧疚(第一段);次日在校门口主动道歉、重归于好,领悟“勿轻易以恶意揣度朋友”(第二段)。情节合乎情理、无道德争议(Jack 修缮并归还朋友自己的物品)。遵循一致、正能量、曲折、句型词汇丰富四原则;交织情感线(猜疑→羞愧→释然)、动作线与主题线,并做到两个呼应。 【高分句型】some gifts are easy to miss when your eyes are clouded by doubt(运用 when 引导状语从句与隐喻,升华主题)。(Word count: 约 150 词)
