Beth Kendall has chosen to live in the sea of flowers of the Piddle Valley. Her house, built in the 1660s, is a traditional cob house (土屋). Surrounded by woods near the River Piddle, the house feels a world away from the nearby towns. It is home to Beth, her husband David, their two children, and their three cats.
“We fell in love with the house because it had so much soul and charm,” says Beth. “It’s almost as if you’ve gone back in time. I grew up in the countryside and wanted to live somewhere with a sense of history.”
There was also a personal reason for moving here. “My eldest son, Wilder, was in hospital for weeks when he was born. It made me want to retreat from the world and move somewhere that felt safe to raise my family,” she explains.
The house was kept in good repair by the previous (先前的) owners, but moving from a modern townhome created challenges. “It’s a really old house that needs a lot of love,” says Beth. “The thick walls need to breathe, so they require attention. The thatch roof (屋顶) needs redoing, and it is professional work. We don’t go on holiday much because of this, but living here often feels like a holiday.”
Beth runs a business creating pressed flower art and the wild garden naturally becomes a source of her inspiration (灵感). “I get many flowers from my garden, though it is narrow and steep. In the long run, we’ve decided to turn our house into a family craft studio. I love to watch my kids getting lost in craft at the table.” she smiles. “Living here can feel like time has stopped, not just in the house, but in the whole area.”
In an area that often feels untouched by the passing of time, Beth has created a flowery haven for her family that will last for many years to come.

On a weekday afternoon, the Chaoyang District Library in Beijing is nearly full. Young people sit buried in their books, and even the lobby benches are full of readers. This busy picture reflects China’s latest effort to promote (推广) reading, which mainly results from the government’s strong push. The government has introduced a new regulation (条例) to encourage nationwide reading, which took effect on February 1st, 2026.
For Cui Hua, a resident in Chaoyang District, reading is his favorite hobby. It is made easy by a small public library near his home. “Libraries create a special environment, which is very different from reading at home,” he said, “I hope for more reading facilities nearby”. To meet public needs, cities are adding more reading spaces. The new regulation encourages not only traditional libraries but also community reading rooms and cultural centers. By the end of 2024, there were already nearly 44,000 public cultural centers nationwide.
▲ The new regulation encourages the use of new platforms to promote reading. For example, the Capital Library of China is developing digital programs, such as turning the ancient science book Tiangong Kaiwu into 3D visual products to lower the barrier to reading. Libraries are also using technology to serve older adults and people with disabilities. For example, they are introducing smart devices with larger fonts (字体) and robot delivery services.
While technology is helping improve the spaces, the quality of the books themselves is also important. Sometimes the books in public facilities are too old, and publishers are taking action to solve this. The regulation pushes the publishing sector to focus on quality over quantity. Publishers are encouraged to develop graded reading materials for specific groups like youth and the elderly, support digital and audio reading and turn bookstores into reading centers. Publishers and writers both believe this regulation will help books shape the character of the nation and build a society that loves reading.
38. How does the passage lead in the topic?
A. By designing a survey. B. By offering a test.
C. By describing a scene. D. By asking a question.
39. Why does the writer quote (引用) Cui Hua’s words in paragraph 2?
A. To introduce how to build a public library.
B. To explain how the new regulation works.
C. To prove the importance of a reading habit.
D. To express the need for better reading conditions.
40. Which of the following can be best put in ▲ in paragraph 3?
A. The government plans to build more libraries.
B. Reading promotion still faces many challenges.
C. Technology is also playing a key role in this plan.
D. Reading is becoming the favorite hobby of everybody.
41. Which of the following is NOT an effort to improve book quality?
A. Developing reading materials for different types of readers.
B. Promoting digital mixed-media reading materials.
C. Adding new functions to bookstores.
D. Reducing the cost of publishing.
【答案】38. C 39. D 40. C 41. D

China has approved (获准) the world's first invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device for use in patients. A BCI is a technology that creates a direct communication pathway between the brain and a device. Just days after this decision, Shanghai announced the creation of three new research centers. These centers aim to speed up the development of this life - changing technology.
The device, called the NEO system, was created by a Shanghai - based company named Neuracle. The system is designed to help patients who have lost the ability to use their hands because of spinal cord (脊椎) injuries. It combines three main parts: a small sensor, an electrode kit, and a robotic glove. The sensor is about the size of a coin. It is placed on top of the brain’s protective covering to reduce the risk of damaging brain tissue. The system does not use batteries — it is powered wirelessly by a magnetic coil (电磁圈). This means patients do not need to remove it for charging. About one month after operation, patients can use the system at home.
The device works by reading the brain’s signals. When a patient thinks about moving his hand, the sensor catches the thoughts. The electrode kit then plays a key role by picking up these signals and passing them to the robotic glove. The glove then helps the patient’s fingers move to hold or release objects.
In clinical (临床) tests with 36 people, every patient showed improvement in their ability to grasp objects. Some patients even showed signs of nerve (神经) repair, suggesting the technology might help the body heal itself. One user, Mr. Dong, joined the test in October 2024. After a year of training, he could write simple words like “thank you” without the device’s help.
In a forum on the future of brain science, Mao Ying, a hospital president, said future versions (版本) might even help paralyzed patients walk again. However, he warned that the technology is still new. It cannot cure patients quickly and requires a lot of training and patience.
42. According to the passage, what is NEO?
A. It is a product based on life - changing technology.
B. It is a device designed to avoid spinal cord injuries.
C. It is a system that connects the brain with the hands.
D. It is a research center about brain - computer interface.
43. Look at the survey results below. Which statement reflects the facts?
A. B.
C. D.
44. What is the correct order of how the NEO system works?
A. Send→Receive→Collect→Support B. Collect→Receive→Send→Support
C. Send→Collect→Receive→Support D. Collect→Send→Receive→Support
45. What can we infer about the NEO system according to the passage?
A. It will upgrade to a new version that needs no training.
B. It will soon come into widespread use around the world.
C. It can be designed to move things instead of patients’ hands.
D. It can be used to help patients with injuries to other parts of the body.
【答案】42. C 43. B 44. B 45. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍全球首款获批侵入式脑机接口NEO系统,介绍研发公司、构造、供电方式、工作原理、临床试验成效与未来研发方向。

第二段“The system is designed to help patients who have lost the ability to use their hands because of spinal cord injuries...helps the patient’s fingers move”,指出NEO系统通过脑信号联动机械手套,搭建大脑与手部的连接。
【43题详解】
第二段“The sensor is about the size of a coin. It is placed on top of the brain’s protective covering to reduce the risk of damaging brain tissue. The system does not use batteries — it is powered wirelessly by a magnetic coil (电磁圈). This means patients do not need to remove it for charging. About one month after operation, patients can use the system at home.”,提到“设计小巧、安全设置、操作简便”。
【44题详解】

46. The Slender West Lake lies in the ________ part of the city of Yangzhou. (北边的)
【答案】northern
【解析】
【详解】句意:瘦西湖位于扬州市的北部。“北边的”对应形容词“northern”,修饰名词“part”,故填northern。
47. Many beautiful gardens were built ________ the lake during the Qing Dynasty. (沿着)

【答案】attracts
【解析】
【详解】句意:现在它每年吸引来自不同国家的数百万游客。 “吸引”对应动词“attract”。时间状语“every year”表示一般现在时,主语“it”为第三人称单数,因此谓语动词应变为第三人称单数形式,在词尾加s,故填attracts。

【答案】lying
【解析】

【答案】silence
【解析】
【详解】句意:不远处,白色的舍利塔矗立在寂静中,像一个卫士一样。in silence,介词短语,意为“在寂静中”。

【答案】simply
【解析】
【详解】句意:一首描写这座湖的名诗写道:浩浩汤汤,横无际涯。修饰后面形容词endless需要用副词,故填simply。
54. From ancient poets to modern ________, everyone falls in love with its charm. (travel)
【答案】travellers
【解析】
【详解】句意:从古代诗人到现代游客,所有人都爱上它的魅力。根据提示travel,modern后接可数名词复数,表示一类人,traveller游客,复数形式travellers。故填travellers。

Mary, Colin and Dickon were in the secret garden now.
Colin managed to stand up. He saw Ben, the old gardener, climb over the wall and stare at them in surprise.
“Look at me!” Colin shouted in a strong voice. “Am I a hunchback? Are my legs bent?”
Ben’s eyes opened wide because he had never seen Colin stand before. He always thought the boy was weak and sick. “No,” he said gently. “You have straight legs, just like other boys in Yorkshire.”
Colin laughed happily. “I am going to live forever and ever!” he shouted, “the magic is working! The magic of the garden is making me strong!”
Dickon, the boy who loved animals and understood the language of nature, smiled and explained: “Yes, it is the fresh air and exercise that helped.”
Mary was happy too. Her male cousin was not a poor, sick boy anymore, trapped in his room and his fears.
“We must keep this a secret,” Colin said, “no one must know I can stand. Not yet. We will come here every day, and I will grow stronger. And when my father comes home, I will surprise him. I will walk into his room, tall and straight, and he will see that I am well.”
In the afternoon, they worked in the garden together. Colin dug in the earth with a small spade. Though he felt tired and breathless, he refused to stop. The sunshine, soil and flowers filled him with energy. “This is the magic,” he whispered to himself, “it is in the earth, and in the flowers, and in the air. And now it is in me.”
At sunset, Colin stood firmly by the rose tree. He felt a deep, quiet strength within him. The garden was no longer a sad secret place, but a wonderland full of life and hope.

六、缺词填空(共10小题,每小题1分,计10分)
根据短文内容及首字母提示,在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整,每空一词。
Why does one plus one equal two? One possible a____61____ is “It just does!” Many people think math is like a world full of fixed rules that you have to follow, and that’s why they find it b____62____. I love math precisely (恰恰) because I enjoy breaking the rules. So instead of only a____63____ that one plus one equals two, let's think deeper and ask: Is this always true?
Sometimes, one plus one is just one, like if you m____64____ one color with one color, you get one color. Sometimes, one plus one equals more than two: put one rabbit and another rabbit together, and you might end up with a lot of rabbits. And there are even times when one plus one equals z____65____. If I say “I’m not not hungry.”, that means “I’m hungry.” In this case, one “not” plus another “not” works like having no “nots” at all.
Now, you might think that these aren’t really n____66____. You’re welcome to think that, but that’s not what math does.
Math is not just about getting the right answer. It is about learning to explain why your answer w____67____. In school, students are asked to learn different ways to solve the same math problem. Many parents think this is m____68____. They ask: if kids can already solve a problem with one method, why do they need to learn other ways? But thinking about a problem in different ways helps you understand it much better. It also gives you more ways to c____69____ if your answer is correct.
I hope that we can see math as a place to ask questions and explore answers, rather than a place where the answers are just rules and we're s____70____ to know them. Also, I hope we will pay more attention to those who are curious.
【答案】61. answer##nswer
62. boring##oring
63. accepting##ccepting
64. mix##ix
65. zero##ero
66. numbers##umbers
67. works##orks
68. meaningless##eaningless
69. check##heck
70. supposed##upposed
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,围绕1+1不总是等于2展开论述,阐明数学不是固守既定规则,而是学会多角度思考、探寻答案原理。
【61题详解】
句意:一加一为什么等于二?一个可行的答案是“本来就是这样!”。根据前文问句“Why does one plus one equal two?”,此处填写表示“答案”的名词,空前one提示单数,首字母a,故填answer。
【62题详解】
句意:许多人认为数学充满必须遵守的固定规则,这就是他们觉得数学无趣的原因。依据上文“full of fixed rules that you have to follow”,繁多的固定规则让人觉得枯燥,修饰事物用boring。
【63题详解】
句意:所以不要只是认定一加一等于二,我们深入思考问题。固定搭配instead of后接动名词,结合后文“let’s think deeper and ask: Is this always true?”不盲从定论,accept表示认同,变动名词accepting。
【64题详解】
句意:有时一加一等于一,比如把一种颜色和另一种颜色混合,就得到一种新颜色。根据后文“one color with one color, you get one color”,短语mix…with…意为把……和……混合,主句为一般现在时,主语you用动词原形,首字母m,mix符合语境。
【65题详解】
句意:甚至有的情况下一加一等于零。根据下文“I’m not not hungry…having no ‘nots’ at all”双重否定相互抵消、结果归零,zero表示数字零。
【66题详解】
句意:此刻你可能认为这些算不上真正的数字。结合上文各类1+1的特例算法,和数字相关,aren’t后面接可数名词复数,首字母n,故填numbers。
【67题详解】
句意:数学重在弄懂答案为什么成立有效。依据前文“Math is not just about getting the right answer.”,数学要明白答案成立的缘由,主语answer为单数,work表示奏效、成立,三单形式works。
【68题详解】
句意:很多家长觉得学习多种解题方法毫无意义。根据后文“They ask: if kids can already solve a problem with one method, why do they need to learn other ways?”,家长不理解多解法的用处,meaningless表示“无意义的”,符合语境。
【69题详解】
句意:多角度思考问题能给你更多方式去核对答案是否正确。依据前文学习多种解题思路的用处,不定式to后用动词原形,check表示检查、核对,符合语境。
【70题详解】
句意:我们被要求死记硬背这些规则。固定短语be supposed to do sth.,意为理应、被要求做某事,结合前文大众把数学当作死板规则需要识记,首字母s,supposed符合语境。

Beth Kendall has chosen to live in the sea of flowers of the Piddle Valley. Her house, built in the 1660s, is a traditional cob house (土屋). Surrounded by woods near the River Piddle, the house feels a world away from the nearby towns. It is home to Beth, her husband David, their two children, and their three cats.
“We fell in love with the house because it had so much soul and charm,” says Beth. “It’s almost as if you’ve gone back in time. I grew up in the countryside and wanted to live somewhere with a sense of history.”
There was also a personal reason for moving here. “My eldest son, Wilder, was in hospital for weeks when he was born. It made me want to retreat from the world and move somewhere that felt safe to raise my family,” she explains.
The house was kept in good repair by the previous (先前的) owners, but moving from a modern townhome created challenges. “It’s a really old house that needs a lot of love,” says Beth. “The thick walls need to breathe, so they require attention. The thatch roof (屋顶) needs redoing, and it is professional work. We don’t go on holiday much because of this, but living here often feels like a holiday.”
Beth runs a business creating pressed flower art and the wild garden naturally becomes a source of her inspiration (灵感). “I get many flowers from my garden, though it is narrow and steep. In the long run, we’ve decided to turn our house into a family craft studio. I love to watch my kids getting lost in craft at the table.” she smiles. “Living here can feel like time has stopped, not just in the house, but in the whole area.”
In an area that often feels untouched by the passing of time, Beth has created a flowery haven for her family that will last for many years to come.

On a weekday afternoon, the Chaoyang District Library in Beijing is nearly full. Young people sit buried in their books, and even the lobby benches are full of readers. This busy picture reflects China’s latest effort to promote (推广) reading, which mainly results from the government’s strong push. The government has introduced a new regulation (条例) to encourage nationwide reading, which took effect on February 1st, 2026.
For Cui Hua, a resident in Chaoyang District, reading is his favorite hobby. It is made easy by a small public library near his home. “Libraries create a special environment, which is very different from reading at home,” he said, “I hope for more reading facilities nearby”. To meet public needs, cities are adding more reading spaces. The new regulation encourages not only traditional libraries but also community reading rooms and cultural centers. By the end of 2024, there were already nearly 44,000 public cultural centers nationwide.
▲ The new regulation encourages the use of new platforms to promote reading. For example, the Capital Library of China is developing digital programs, such as turning the ancient science book Tiangong Kaiwu into 3D visual products to lower the barrier to reading. Libraries are also using technology to serve older adults and people with disabilities. For example, they are introducing smart devices with larger fonts (字体) and robot delivery services.
While technology is helping improve the spaces, the quality of the books themselves is also important. Sometimes the books in public facilities are too old, and publishers are taking action to solve this. The regulation pushes the publishing sector to focus on quality over quantity. Publishers are encouraged to develop graded reading materials for specific groups like youth and the elderly, support digital and audio reading and turn bookstores into reading centers. Publishers and writers both believe this regulation will help books shape the character of the nation and build a society that loves reading.

China has approved (获准) the world's first invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) device for use in patients. A BCI is a technology that creates a direct communication pathway between the brain and a device. Just days after this decision, Shanghai announced the creation of three new research centers. These centers aim to speed up the development of this life - changing technology.
The device, called the NEO system, was created by a Shanghai - based company named Neuracle. The system is designed to help patients who have lost the ability to use their hands because of spinal cord (脊椎) injuries. It combines three main parts: a small sensor, an electrode kit, and a robotic glove. The sensor is about the size of a coin. It is placed on top of the brain’s protective covering to reduce the risk of damaging brain tissue. The system does not use batteries — it is powered wirelessly by a magnetic coil (电磁圈). This means patients do not need to remove it for charging. About one month after operation, patients can use the system at home.
The device works by reading the brain’s signals. When a patient thinks about moving his hand, the sensor catches the thoughts. The electrode kit then plays a key role by picking up these signals and passing them to the robotic glove. The glove then helps the patient’s fingers move to hold or release objects.
In clinical (临床) tests with 36 people, every patient showed improvement in their ability to grasp objects. Some patients even showed signs of nerve (神经) repair, suggesting the technology might help the body heal itself. One user, Mr. Dong, joined the test in October 2024. After a year of training, he could write simple words like “thank you” without the device’s help.
In a forum on the future of brain science, Mao Ying, a hospital president, said future versions (版本) might even help paralyzed patients walk again. However, he warned that the technology is still new. It cannot cure patients quickly and requires a lot of training and patience.
42. According to the passage, what is NEO?
A. It is a product based on life - changing technology.
B. It is a device designed to avoid spinal cord injuries.
C. It is a system that connects the brain with the hands.
D. It is a research center about brain - computer interface.
43. Look at the survey results below. Which statement reflects the facts?
A. B.
C. D.
44. What is the correct order of how the NEO system works?
A. Send→Receive→Collect→Support B. Collect→Receive→Send→Support
C. Send→Collect→Receive→Support D. Collect→Send→Receive→Support
45. What can we infer about the NEO system according to the passage?
A. It will upgrade to a new version that needs no training.
B. It will soon come into widespread use around the world.
C. It can be designed to move things instead of patients’ hands.
D. It can be used to help patients with injuries to other parts of the body.

Mary, Colin and Dickon were in the secret garden now.
Colin managed to stand up. He saw Ben, the old gardener, climb over the wall and stare at them in surprise.
“Look at me!” Colin shouted in a strong voice. “Am I a hunchback? Are my legs bent?”
Ben’s eyes opened wide because he had never seen Colin stand before. He always thought the boy was weak and sick. “No,” he said gently. “You have straight legs, just like other boys in Yorkshire.”
Colin laughed happily. “I am going to live forever and ever!” he shouted, “the magic is working! The magic of the garden is making me strong!”
Dickon, the boy who loved animals and understood the language of nature, smiled and explained: “Yes, it is the fresh air and exercise that helped.”
Mary was happy too. Her male cousin was not a poor, sick boy anymore, trapped in his room and his fears.
“We must keep this a secret,” Colin said, “no one must know I can stand. Not yet. We will come here every day, and I will grow stronger. And when my father comes home, I will surprise him. I will walk into his room, tall and straight, and he will see that I am well.”
In the afternoon, they worked in the garden together. Colin dug in the earth with a small spade. Though he felt tired and breathless, he refused to stop. The sunshine, soil and flowers filled him with energy. “This is the magic,” he whispered to himself, “it is in the earth, and in the flowers, and in the air. And now it is in me.”
At sunset, Colin stood firmly by the rose tree. He felt a deep, quiet strength within him. The garden was no longer a sad secret place, but a wonderland full of life and hope.

六、缺词填空(共10小题,每小题1分,计10分)
根据短文内容及首字母提示,在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整,每空一词。
Why does one plus one equal two? One possible a____61____ is “It just does!” Many people think math is like a world full of fixed rules that you have to follow, and that’s why they find it b____62____. I love math precisely (恰恰) because I enjoy breaking the rules. So instead of only a____63____ that one plus one equals two, let's think deeper and ask: Is this always true?
Sometimes, one plus one is just one, like if you m____64____ one color with one color, you get one color. Sometimes, one plus one equals more than two: put one rabbit and another rabbit together, and you might end up with a lot of rabbits. And there are even times when one plus one equals z____65____. If I say “I’m not not hungry.”, that means “I’m hungry.” In this case, one “not” plus another “not” works like having no “nots” at all.
Now, you might think that these aren’t really n____66____. You’re welcome to think that, but that’s not what math does.
Math is not just about getting the right answer. It is about learning to explain why your answer w____67____. In school, students are asked to learn different ways to solve the same math problem. Many parents think this is m____68____. They ask: if kids can already solve a problem with one method, why do they need to learn other ways? But thinking about a problem in different ways helps you understand it much better. It also gives you more ways to c____69____ if your answer is correct.
I hope that we can see math as a place to ask questions and explore answers, rather than a place where the answers are just rules and we're s____70____ to know them. Also, I hope we will pay more attention to those who are curious.
