2026年天津市中考英语三轮冲刺 说明文15篇 In modern society, digital calendars and apps rule our daily lives. However, there is an ancient cultural system that has been guiding the Chinese people for thousands of years. It is known as the 24 Solar Terms. Recently, this traditional wisdom has caught the attention of the world and even been added to UNESCO’s list. My journey with this tradition began when I met a German exchange student named Hans. During a break, he asked me about the special dates on our school calendar. I took the chance to introduce the 24 Solar Terms to him. I explained that they are not just a simple list of dates, but a scientific connection between nature and human life. For instance, Grain Buds (Xiaoman) reminds farmers that crops are full and growing, while Winter Solstice (Dongzhi) marks the longest night of the year. Hans was pretty fascinated (着迷的) by the connected customs. I showed him pictures of people eating green plums (青梅) during Grain Buds and flying kites on Spring Equinox (Chunfen). He watched the pictures with eager eyes and asked many questions. He told me that in Germany, people only talk about the weather, not the seasons. This experience made me realize how unique and valuable our traditions are. The 24 Solar Terms are not a thing of a bygone age. They are still deeply rooted in our modern life. They teach us the peace between human wisdom and nature. It is our duty to learn, understand, and share this valuable gift with the whole world. 1．What are the 24 Solar Terms according to the text? A．A weather forecast app. B．A modern digital calendar system. C．A German tradition about seasons. D．An ancient cultural system from China. 2．Why did the writer introduce the 24 Solar Terms to Hans? A．Hans liked German culture. B．The writer wanted a good grade. C．Hans asked about special dates. D．The writer had to give a speech. 3．Which of the following is TRUE about the solar terms mentioned? A．Winter Solstice is the longest day. B．Grain Buds tells farmers crops are full. C．Xiaoman marks the start of summer. D．Spring Equinox is for eating green plums. 4．What may the underlined word “bygone” mean? A．Past. B．Future. C．Present. D．Wish. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．German Weather and Seasons B．My Exchange Student Friend, Hans C．How to Use Digital Calendars Well D．The 24 Solar Terms: A Precious Cultural Gift Warning: this article may make you want to yawn (打哈欠). Why? It’s because we’re looking into the world of sleep cycles (周期) in light of World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21. Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles, experiencing five to six each night. At first, you enter a light stage of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. This is when your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM, 快速眼动) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens. After REM sleep, the cycle repeats. Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator can help you avoid this. It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time. Developed by the UK company Hillarys, this smart calculator takes into account (考虑到) the sleep cycles our bodies go through each night. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, simply input your wake-up time, and the calculator will work its magic, suggesting the perfect bedtime to make sure that you rise and shine with a spring in your step. It’s also worth noting that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time, particularly by using light and temperature. If we wake up too late, we may feel a bit like a zombie (僵尸). That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping. 1．How many stages does each sleep cycle have? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What is likely to happen to you during the second stage of a sleep cycle? A．Your muscles become relaxed. B．You sleep deeply with a high heart rate. C．Your temperature goes down. D．You might have a lot of dreams. 3．What will happen if you wake up in a “wrong” stage? A．Your eyes will move rapidly. B．You may lose energy quickly. C．You may have bad dreams. D．You may not be full of energy. 4．What can Sleep Calculator do for users? A．Offer you the best bedtime to follow. B．Prevent you from dreaming a lot. C．Wake you up when you oversleep. D．Make you fall asleep faster. 5．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．You can go to bed at anytime as long as you have 8 hours of sleep. B．The longer you sleep, the better you will feel. C．A good sleep needs to follow your body clock. D．It’s the best sleep if you wake up naturally. Plastic pollution is a big problem around the world. Every year, tons of plastic waste enter oceans and forests. It seriously harms our environment and puts wild animals in danger. Many plastic products take hundreds of years to break down, leaving lasting harm to the earth. To solve this serious problem, people start to use more environmentally friendly things, and bamboo products are becoming more and more popular. Bamboo is a kind of amazing plant. It grows very fast and doesn’t need much water or fertilizer (肥料). It can grow well in many different places, so it is very easy to plant more bamboo in a short time. People can make many daily things with bamboo, such as bamboo chopsticks, bamboo baskets, bowls and tables. These products are not only strong and cheap but also green. After being used, they can be easily broken down naturally and will not pollute the earth. What’s more, bamboo forests help clean the air and protect the soil. They also provide safe homes for many small animals. Using bamboo products is a simple but good way to live a green life. Let’s choose more bamboo products in our daily life to reduce plastic pollution and protect our beautiful earth. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Plastic waste. B．Ocean. C．Plant. D．Problem. 2．Why is bamboo easy to plant? A．It grows fast and needs little water. B．It is very strong. C．It can be made into many things. D．It is popular everywhere. 3．What can’t bamboo be made into according to the passage? A．Chopsticks. B．Baskets. C．Tables. D．Plates. 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Bamboo grows fast. B．Bamboo products are useful. C．Plastic pollution is serious. D．Bamboo forests are good for the environment. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．How to plant bamboo. B．Bamboo and green life. C．Plastic pollution. D．Ways to protect animals. Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in landfills or oceans. But what if this waste could be turned into something that saves lives? Some scientists have done something amazing. They have used bacteria (细菌) to change plastic waste into a medicine that helps people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森综合征). Parkinson’s disease is a brain illness. It makes parts of the brain stop producing a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺). Without enough dopamine, people have trouble moving. They may shake, move slowly, or be unable to move freely. There is no cure for this disease. In China nowadays, about 3,000,000 people live with it. The main treatment for Parkinson’s is a drug containing L-Dopa. L-Dopa helps the brain produce more dopamine. Traditionally, L-Dopa is made from fossil fuels like petroleum (石油). But getting fossil fuels from the ground harms the environment. Burning them also creates greenhouse gases, which make the Earth warmer and cause climate change. To solve this problem, researchers changed the DNA of bacteria. DNA carries instructions for building a living thing. The new bacteria can break down one of the main chemicals in plastic bottles and turn it into L-Dopa. Scientists have already used a similar process to make paracetamol, a common painkiller (止痛药). Now they plan to produce L-Dopa in large amounts in factories. If they succeed, this technology could also make other important medicines. Using plastic waste to make drugs helps reduce pollution and provides a cleaner way to produce medicine. If we can make medicines for brain diseases from waste plastic bottles, imagine what else this technology could achieve. 1．What do scientists use to turn plastic waste into medicine? A．Bacteria. B．Fossil fuels. C．Painkillers. D．Greenhouse gases. 2．Which of the following is the correct order of Parkinson’s disease affecting people? a. People have difficulty moving.     b. The brain is harmed by the illness. c. People shake or move slowly.     d. The brain fails to make enough dopamine. A．a-c-d-b B．b-d-a-c C．c-a-b-d D．d-b-c-a 3．Why do scientists want to find new ways to produce L-Dopa? A．Because L-Dopa can’t treat Parkinson’s well. B．Because there is too much petroleum on the Earth. C．Because fossil fuels can’t produce dopamine any more. D．Because making L-Dopa from petroleum is bad for the environment. 4．What can the new kind of bacteria do? A．It can produce more plastic bottles. B．It can change DNA of all living things. C．It can cure Parkinson’s disease completely. D．It can turn chemicals in plastic into L-Dopa. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Terrible Brain Disease B．Ways to Reduce Plastic Pollution C．New Use of Plastic Waste D．Different Kinds of Common Medicines China’s smart high-speed railway technology has become a shining name card of modern Chinese innovation (创新). It wins wide praise at home and abroad for its smart design, safe performance and eco-friendly ideas, showing the great progress of China’s science and technology in recent years. Unlike traditional trains, the new smart trains are equipped with AI systems and high-precision sensors (高精度传感器), making travel safer and more convenient for passengers across the country. These trains can check their running conditions automatically (自动化地) during the trip. They can also control speed wisely according to weather and track (轨道) situations. Besides, inside the trains, smart screens offer real-time travel information, and free high-speed WiFi covers every corner for people to work or relax online comfortably. In recent years, this advanced (先进的) technology has been shared with many countries around the world. It helps build railway projects that connect cities and shorten travel time greatly. Many foreign experts speak highly of it, for it connects green energy with advanced engineering perfectly. What makes the technology stand out is years of continuous research by Chinese scientists. They kept testing and improving details to suit different environments, from cold northern areas to rainy southern places. It also sets a good example for global transportation development. Today, Chinese smart railway technology keeps moving forward step by step. It not only changes people’s daily travel and brings much convenience to life, but also shows the power of China’s modern science and technology to the whole world. 1．What do we know about China’s smart high-speed railway technology? A．It connects many countries around the world. B．It wins wide praise mainly because of its low cost. C．It faces serious challenges in safety and environmental protection.

Nowadays global warming has drawn people’s attention all over the world, and living a low-carbon lifestyle has become a popular idea to protect our earth. Low-carbon life means cutting down unnecessary carbon gas emission in daily small activities. Many bad daily living habits produce plenty of extra carbon, such as driving private cars every day, using disposable chopsticks and plastic bags, keeping electric lights on when no one is in the room and ordering too much takeout food which causes lots of waste. Changing small habits can make great differences for environment protection. Choosing shared bikes or public buses instead of driving private cars helps reduce harmful waste gas into the air. Using reusable cloth shopping bags instead of plastic bags can cut down white pollution. Saving tap water while washing hands and turning off unused lights help save power resources. All these simple actions are easy for every common person to carry out at home. Many families in China have started low-carbon daily activities in recent years. Parents set good examples for kids by practicing green living rules at home, and children also learn to form eco-friendly habits from daily life. The writer calls on every reader to start low-carbon life from tiny things, because small efforts from thousands of people will finally slow down global warming and protect our living planet. 1．Which action belongs to low-carbon life? A．Drive private cars every day. B．Use disposable tableware. C．Use reusable cloth shopping bags. D．Leave all lights on all day. 2．What leads to much carbon emission in daily life? A．Unhealthy living habits. B．Natural climate change. C．Increasing forest area. D．Reduced factory production. 3．How does riding shared bikes protect environment? A．Reduce car waste gas. B．Save house space. C．Cut down food cost. D．Improve sleeping quality. 4．What suggestion does the writer give to families? A．Buy more new furniture. B．Save water and electricity. C．Travel abroad frequently. D．Eat takeout every single day. 5．What’s the writing purpose of the text? A．Introduce new kinds of vehicles. B．Call for people to live low-carbon life. C．Show all environmental damage results. D．Explain how climate forms naturally. When we think of traditional Chinese culture, the 24 solar terms often come to mind. These ancient markers of seasonal change have guided Chinese farming and daily life for thousands of years. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is giving this ancient wisdom a fresh new look. One example is the AI micro-series Shanxi Taste. It draws inspiration from the Taosi archaeological site (陶寺遗址) in Shanxi, one birthplace of Chinese civilization. By combining AI with traditional culture, the show lets viewers “see” the ancient wisdom behind each solar term. In April 2026, the “AI Super Creativity Competition” was held in Chengdu, Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao. Twenty-four teams, each representing one solar term, created AI-produced videos within 24 hours. The theme was “The Great Beauty of China in Solar Terms.” A professor said it aimed to explore how AI can help spread traditional Chinese culture. AI is also used in other ways to protect intangible cultural heritage. Short videos like The 24 Solar Terms in Prints use AI to bring traditional printmaking to life. Some AI-powered platforms (平台) connect solar term culture with farming advice and health tips, making it useful today. Technology alone cannot keep culture alive — people’s love and understanding truly matter. But AI is a powerful tool, helping traditions find new audiences in the digital age. As one organizer said, “We hope to give ancient solar term culture a new life, so it can go global in a fresher way.” 1．What can we learn about the 24 solar terms from Paragraph 1? A．They were created in modern times. B．They were used to guide farming and daily life. C．They are mainly popular in Western countries. D．They have lost their value in today’s world. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The development of AI technology. B．The AI Super Creativity Competition. C．Traditional Chinese farming culture. D．Protection of intangible cultural heritage. 3．What can we know about the “AI Super Creativity Competition”? A．Twenty-four teams took part in the competition. B．Teams were given one week to produce their videos. C．Each team created a video about all 24 solar terms. D．The competition focused on traditional painting skills. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．AI will completely replace traditional culture. B．The 24 solar terms are no longer useful today. C．Technology can help traditional culture reach more people. D．AI is more important than human love for culture. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． Do you feel relaxed when you walk in a park or sit by a lake? Scientists have found that spending time in nature is not just pleasant, it is actually good for your brain. A recent study supported by the National Institutes of Health in the US looked at how nature affects people’s minds and bodies. The researchers focused on people who often feel stressed, worried, or sad. They wanted to know whether being in a natural environment could help these people feel better. The study used two scientific tools. One tool records brain activity to check brain effects, while the other shows how the body deals with stress to check body effects. Participants (参与者) were asked to spend time in natural settings like parks or forests, while others stayed in city environments. The results showed that people who spent time in nature had lower stress levels and better attention control. Their brains showed more activity in areas related to calmness and focus. However, those who stayed in city environments did not show the same improvements. According to the researchers, nature may help the brain recover (恢复) from mental (心原的) tiredness. This idea is called the Attention Restoration Theory. It suggests that natural views greatly hold our attention without requiring much effort, giving our brains a chance to rest. The study also has practical meanings. Some doctors have started giving “nature time” to patients, just like medicine. Spending even 20 minutes in a green space can make a difference. So next time you feel tired of homework or exams, try taking a short walk in a park. It might be just what your brain needs. 1．What does the study aim to find out? A．When brains need a good rest. B．Where we spend time with nature. C．How nature helps stressed people. D．Why city life harms people’s health. 2．What does the study use to check the effects on the body? A．A simple written test. B．A diary from participants. C．A camera that takes photos of the brain. D．A tool that records how the body works. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Nature’s help to the brain. B．Reasons to live in big cities. C．Ways to show more activities. D．Problems with the recent study. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．Question → Story → Ending B．Opinion → Fact → suggestions C．Introduction → Research → Findings → advice D．Problem → Research → Solution → Example 5．Which idea would the writer most likely agree with? A．Homework and exams make brains tired. B．Twenty minutes in nature is very helpful. C．Doctors should give less medicine to patients. D．Walking in a green space can solve all problems. Grit (坚毅) is a small word with surprising power. It means having the courage to keep going, even when things feel difficult. For kids with dyslexia (诵读困难), grit appears every single day. It helps them read a difficult word slowly, finish a story that once felt impossible, and keep trying when the task seems too big. Grit also helps you in daily life. When you find it hard to finish your homework, or when you fail an exam, it pushes you to try again instead of quitting. It even helps you stick to your hobbies, like learning a new sport or playing an instrument, when you want to give up. Grit is not about being perfect. It is about learning, growing, and believing that every effort counts. It teaches patience, builds confidence (自信), and shows that success is not about speed, but about not giving up easily. Many successful people have grit. They failed many times but kept trying until they achieved their goals. Unlike luck, grit doesn’t happen by chance; it requires you to keep working hard even when no one watches. Parents often see this strength in their children. It’s like a steady (稳定的) light that keeps them moving forward. Grit is like a hidden power that gets stronger with every challenge they face and every small success they achieve. It is not something you are born with. It can be developed little by little through practice, such as finishing a difficult task or overcoming a small problem. So next time something feels hard, take a deep breath and remember your grit. Each time you try again, your mind grows a little stronger, and your dreams move a little closer. That is what true grit is all about. 1．How can grit help kids with dyslexia? A．By teaching them to read faster. B．By making reading fun for them. C．By helping them read difficult words. D．By changing their reading habits. 2．What does the underlined word “quitting” probably mean? A．Putting off. B．Giving up. C．Talking back. D．Slowing down. 3．What does grit teach people according to the text? A．To finish tasks fast. B．To realize dreams easily. C．To be perfect and brave. D．To be patient and confident. 4．Tom finds it hard to finish his science project and wants to give up. What should he do according to the text? A．Ask his science teacher for advice. B．Rest until he feels ready. C．Stop working and try another project. D．Remember his grit and keep trying. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The Power of Having Grit B．The Key to Developing Hobbies C．Relations Between Grit and Luck D．Suggestions on Facing Challenges The Maritime (海上的) Silk Road was an old sea route (航线). It connected China with many countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. More than 2,000 years ago, Chinese traders started to sail from places such as Panyu, Xuwen and Hepu (in today’s Guangdong and Guangxi). They went to Southeast Asia and India. From then on, the sea route between the East and the West was connected. In the Tang dynasty, the sea route grew fast. There was a famous sea route called “Guangzhou Tonghai Yidao”. It was about 14,000 kilometers long. It went through more than 100 countries and areas. At that time, it was the longest sea route in the world. Guangzhou became a busy trading city. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, China had trade and communication with more than 140 countries and areas. Porcelain became the main product for export, so people also called this the “Maritime Ceramic Road”. Ships also carried silk, tea and spices (香料). The sea trade was very active. In the Ming dynasty, Zheng He made seven great sea trips to Southeast Asia, India and Africa. But later, the government stopped most sea trade. In the Qing dynasty, only Guangzhou was open to foreign ships. The old sea road slowly became weak. Today, this old sea road has come back to life. China has started the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). Our country thinks this road is very important. It helps countries along the route to trade, share cultures, and build a better future together. The Maritime Silk Road is not only history — it is also a bright bridge for tomorrow. 1．What can we infer (推断) according to Paragraph 3? A．Chinese traders had good ships and skills. B．The sea route of China was very short. C．Few Chinese traders used the sea route. D．Foreigners didn’t have this kind of sea trade. 2．What happened to the sea route from the Tang to the Yuan dynasty? A．It became shorter in distance. B．It connected fewer countries. C．It grew busier and reached more places. D．It stopped completely for some time. 3．The Qing dynasty allowed only Guangzhou to be open. This suggests that ________. A．many Chinese ports (港口) were still busy B．the sea trade of China was heavily limited C．foreign ships could go to any port of China D．the government of China encouraged more trade 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．The reasons why Guangzhou became a trade center. B．The different Chinese products sold along the sea route. C．The history and rebirth of the Maritime Silk Road. D．The life of Zheng He and his seven ocean journeys. 5．What’s the best structure for the text? A． B． C． D． A lot of people take up dancing as a hobby and make friends through dancing after school. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. Dancing, which includes moving the body to different kinds of music, helps our bodies produce much endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical that makes us feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing with music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group were the most delighted. Dancing can bring people together, too. Tango, Latin or other social dancing require us to move with others, which can improve our sense of social communication, according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that bad feelings often have to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you focus on the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while, as reported Psych Central, a mental health news website. Lauren Helper, a social worker in Virginia, US, pointed out that if people enjoy music of any kind, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. She also said that dancing can take any form, whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. “The important part of movement is that it is fun,” she told Psych Central. 1．Why is dancing regarded as one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings? A．Because it helps people make more friends. B．Because it is a popular hobby among students after school. C．Because it helps the body produce a kind of happy chemical. D．Because it includes moving the body to different kinds of music. 2．What does the underlined word “delighted” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Tired and sleepy. B．Excited and active. C．Sad and hopeless. D．Calm and peaceful. 3．How many advantages of dancing are mentioned in this passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．What can we infer from the passage about dancing? A．It requires a good sense of social communication. B．It is only helpful when done in groups or dance clubs. C．It works better than just listening to music or exercising without music. D．It helps people let go of bad feelings by focusing on sadness or worries. 5．What is this passage mainly about? A．The styles of dancing. B．The history of dancing. C．The studies on dancing. D．The advantages of dancing. In many of China’s top tourist attractions, exoskeleton (外骨骼) robots are quietly changing the way people experience hiking. From Mount Tai and Wuyi Mountain to the Great Wall and National Forest Park, this kind of robot has become a new must try for visitors. The exoskeleton robot is a wearable device (设备) with AI technology and powered support systems. It weighs only 1.8 kg and a 30-minute charge (充电) can support a 5-hour walk. Tests show it can reduce climbing tiredness greatly. In fact, users say they feel about 40% less tired than before. “The moment I begin to climb, I feel a gentle push. It really helps me climb up easily,” said one user. Another user added, “I was amazed that my legs didn’t hurt at all after reaching the top.” The robot has also opened up new possibilities for older travelers. ▲ Or they could only enjoy narrow views from cable cars (缆车). Now, with the help of exoskeletons, they can take in the scenery, reach the top, and truly enjoy climbing by themselves. As these robots work well in practice, they have soon become popular among visitors. More and more places of interest will introduce such useful implements. Scientists are also working on lighter and smarter models. In the future, technology will help create a better and easier hiking experience for everyone. 1．How is the popularity of the exoskeleton robots shown in Paragraph 1? A．By listing numbers. B．By showing opinions. C．By giving examples. D．By making a comparison. 2．What is the advantage of the exoskeleton robot? A．It is heavy to carry. B．It supports heavy weight.

C．They never thought of climbing high mountains. D．The exoskeleton robots are well-known in China. 4．What does the underlined word “implements” probably mean in Paragraph 4? A．Sports. B．Methods. C．Tools. D．Systems. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．New Helper for Mountain Climbers B．The Development of AI Technology C．Popular Tourist Attractions in China D．Ways to Reduce Travelling Tiredness The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala was broadcast around the world on Chinese New Year’s Eve. One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神). It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum. The show beautifully mixes twelve months, twelve flowers, and twelve famous historical figures into one poetic program. It shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and tells us how flowers can stand for great qualities and valuable ideas. The show is special because each flower is matched with a person who has a similar spirit. Among them are seven great writers, such as Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their good qualities are just like the meanings of plum blossoms (梅花), apricot blossoms (杏花), lotuses (荷花), hollyhocks (蜀葵), chrysanthemums (菊花), sweet osmanthus (桂花) and camellias (山茶花). The show also includes four famous women: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and LuoShen. They are connected with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, who brought pomegranates (石榴) to China, shows the brave spirit of the pomegranate flower. In this way, the show changes the old idea that only women can be flower gods. It fully shows the traditional Chinese idea of “finding virtues in flowers”. With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly. On the stage, the twelve jade pendants finally form a full circle, which stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony. Ode to the Flower Gods is more than a great artistic show; it helps people feel closer to their own culture through lively symbols. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of flowers in Chinese culture. B．A special cultural show at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．Famous historical figures in Chinese history. D．The development of AIGC technology. 2．Where did the show Ode to the Flower Gods get its inspiration from? A．Ancient Chinese poems about flowers. B．Stories of great female writers. C．The White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants in the Palace Museum. D．Traditional Chinese paintings of flowers. 3．What plays a key role in the performance according to paragraph 3? A．Traditional stage settings B．Ancient jade collections C．Live audiences’ participation D．Advanced AIGC technology 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．All the flower gods in the show are female. B．The show uses AIGC technology to mix real acting and digital scenes. C．The twelve jade pendants stand for different seasons of a year. D．Zhang Qian is mentioned because he wrote many poems about flowers. 5．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To teach people how to grow flowers. B．To introduce a way of creating digital pictures. C．To show the beauty of Chinese culture and cultural confidence. D．To tell stories of twelve famous historical people. Besides the amazing competitions of China’s 15th National Games, two funny mascots (吉祥物), named Xiyangyang and Lerongrong, have won the nation’s heart. Although people lovingly call them the “greater bay chickens (大湾鸡)”, their design actually comes from the Chinese white dolphin—a valuable animal known as the “panda of the sea”. The mascots’ design is full of meaning. For example, the three-colored water patterns on their heads stand for the official flowers of the host cities: Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao. When we look from the front, the water patterns form a heart, which means “Everyone is together”. What has made the mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games. In fact, they are not lively by accident. The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools (武术学校). To bring the mascots to life, they have practised for nearly five months. Their wonderful martial arts skills and cheerful natures have truly won the hearts of the public. This popularity is also serving as a powerful economic (经济的) driver. Over 2,800 official products, like toy “greater bay chickens”, have been developed for the Games. They have become especially popular and sold out quickly both online and in stores. The success shows how a strong cultural idea, together with modern design, can really connect with people today. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What animal is the design of the mascots actually from? A．The panda. B．The chicken. C．The Chinese white dolphin. D．The greater bay bird. 2．Why do the mascots become popular according to the passage? A．Because they are full of energy. B．Because they are made of expensive materials. C．Because they can speak three different languages. D．Because they look cute and act in a lively way. 3．Where are the teenage performers from? A．Sports schools. B．Martial arts schools. C．Art colleges. D．Music colleges. 4．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A．Mascot actors. B．Stores. C．Official products. D．Games. 5．What can we know from the passage? A．The mascots are lively by accident. B．Only traditional cultural ideas can connect with modern people. C．The “greater bay chickens” are not popular online. D．A meaningful design with good performance can win people’s hearts. Now, the world is facing serious water problems. And these problems are becoming more and more complex (复杂的). People can’t imagine what life will be like without water. There would be no plants, no animals and no people. So the importance of water is considered to be next to oxygen. Although nearly three-quarters of the earth’s surface is covered with water, it is sea water mostly and can’t be drunk. As we can see, the world’s population is growing rapidly day by day. So enough fresh water is needed to feed such a large population. The water used by people comes from oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Many water resources have been polluted. People are throwing things into the water. Factories are pouring waste materials into the water. Cities are dumping sewage (脏水) into the water. Would you like to drink the water that comes from a resource that has been polluted so badly? It is time that we should take on the responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Fortunately, people have realized these problems and are trying to find ways to solve them. Firstly, people are expected to economize (节约) water. Secondly, measures are taken to protect water resources. Thirdly, circulating (循环的) water can be used for industrial purposes and for irrigation (灌溉) in farming land. 1．People consider the importance of water to be next to ________. A．food B．oxygen C．money D．life 2．________ of the earth’s surface is covered with sea water and it is undrinkable. A．Almost 50 percent B．Almost 75 percent C．Over 75 percent D．Less than 50 percent 3．The main water pollution doesn’t come from ________. A．people throwing things into the water B．factories pouring waste materials into the water C．bad smoke from a car’s engine (引擎) D．cities dumping sewage 4．Which of the following ways is not TRUE to protect water? A．Take measures to protect water resources. B．Recycle water. C．Stop using water. D．Use less water if it’s possible. 5．Which is the best title of the passage in the following? A．Protecting Water Resources. B．Circulating Water. C．Economizing Water. D．Water is important. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年天津市中考英语三轮冲刺 说明文15篇 In modern society, digital calendars and apps rule our daily lives. However, there is an ancient cultural system that has been guiding the Chinese people for thousands of years. It is known as the 24 Solar Terms. Recently, this traditional wisdom has caught the attention of the world and even been added to UNESCO’s list. My journey with this tradition began when I met a German exchange student named Hans. During a break, he asked me about the special dates on our school calendar. I took the chance to introduce the 24 Solar Terms to him. I explained that they are not just a simple list of dates, but a scientific connection between nature and human life. For instance, Grain Buds (Xiaoman) reminds farmers that crops are full and growing, while Winter Solstice (Dongzhi) marks the longest night of the year. Hans was pretty fascinated (着迷的) by the connected customs. I showed him pictures of people eating green plums (青梅) during Grain Buds and flying kites on Spring Equinox (Chunfen). He watched the pictures with eager eyes and asked many questions. He told me that in Germany, people only talk about the weather, not the seasons. This experience made me realize how unique and valuable our traditions are. The 24 Solar Terms are not a thing of a bygone age. They are still deeply rooted in our modern life. They teach us the peace between human wisdom and nature. It is our duty to learn, understand, and share this valuable gift with the whole world. 1．What are the 24 Solar Terms according to the text? A．A weather forecast app. B．A modern digital calendar system. C．A German tradition about seasons. D．An ancient cultural system from China. 2．Why did the writer introduce the 24 Solar Terms to Hans? A．Hans liked German culture. B．The writer wanted a good grade. C．Hans asked about special dates. D．The writer had to give a speech. 3．Which of the following is TRUE about the solar terms mentioned? A．Winter Solstice is the longest day. B．Grain Buds tells farmers crops are full. C．Xiaoman marks the start of summer. D．Spring Equinox is for eating green plums. 4．What may the underlined word “bygone” mean? A．Past. B．Future. C．Present. D．Wish. 5．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．German Weather and Seasons B．My Exchange Student Friend, Hans C．How to Use Digital Calendars Well D．The 24 Solar Terms: A Precious Cultural Gift 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文以作者向德国交换生汉斯介绍二十四节气的经历展开，讲解节气内涵、相关民俗，点明二十四节气是中国古老文化，至今仍融入现代生活，值得传承分享。 1．根据第一段第二句“However, there is an ancient cultural system that has been guiding the Chinese people for thousands of years.

Why? It’s because we’re looking into the world of sleep cycles (周期) in light of World Sleep Day which was celebrated on March 21. Our bodies sleep in 90-minute cycles, experiencing five to six each night. At first, you enter a light stage of sleep when your muscles (肌肉) relax. Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows. Next comes deep sleep. It’s difficult to wake up during this stage. This is when your body repairs itself and builds up energy for the day ahead. Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM, 快速眼动) sleep stage. It is when most dreaming happens. After REM sleep, the cycle repeats. Waking up in the morning in the “wrong” stage can make you feel especially tired. An app called Sleep Calculator can help you avoid this. It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time. Developed by the UK company Hillarys, this smart calculator takes into account (考虑到) the sleep cycles our bodies go through each night. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, simply input your wake-up time, and the calculator will work its magic, suggesting the perfect bedtime to make sure that you rise and shine with a spring in your step. It’s also worth noting that you shouldn’t just start your sleep cycle whenever you want. Many young people go to bed late and get up late, such as sleeping from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. They think as long as they have 8 hours of sleep, everything will be fine. But in fact, our bodies can tell the time, particularly by using light and temperature. If we wake up too late, we may feel a bit like a zombie (僵尸). That’s why sometimes we feel even more tired after oversleeping. 1．How many stages does each sleep cycle have? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 2．What is likely to happen to you during the second stage of a sleep cycle? A．Your muscles become relaxed. B．You sleep deeply with a high heart rate. C．Your temperature goes down. D．You might have a lot of dreams. 3．What will happen if you wake up in a “wrong” stage? A．Your eyes will move rapidly. B．You may lose energy quickly. C．You may have bad dreams. D．You may not be full of energy. 4．What can Sleep Calculator do for users? A．Offer you the best bedtime to follow. B．Prevent you from dreaming a lot. C．Wake you up when you oversleep. D．Make you fall asleep faster. 5．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A．You can go to bed at anytime as long as you have 8 hours of sleep. B．The longer you sleep, the better you will feel. C．A good sleep needs to follow your body clock. D．It’s the best sleep if you wake up naturally. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了睡眠周期以及一款睡眠计算器产品，它可以根据起床时间计算合适的入睡时间。 1．第二段“At first, you enter a light stage of sleep... Then, the body temperature drops...”，第三段“ Next comes deep sleep.…Finally, you get into the rapid eye movement (REM, 快速眼动) sleep stage.”指出，每个睡眠周期有四个阶段。 2．第二段“Then, the body temperature drops, and the heart rate slows.”说明在睡眠周期的第二阶段体温下降，心率减慢。 3．第四段“Waking up in the morning in the ‘wrong’ stage can make you feel especially tired.”，说明早上在“错误”的阶段醒来会让你感到特别疲惫，也就是说能量不充足。 4．第四段最后一句给出答案：“It’s a tool designed to work out the perfect bedtime for you based on your wake-up time.”计算器能根据你的起床时间为你计算出完美的就寝时间。 5．最后两段内容告诉我们不应该随心所欲地开始你的睡眠周期，故可推知，良好的睡眠需要遵循生物钟。 Plastic pollution is a big problem around the world. Every year, tons of plastic waste enter oceans and forests. It seriously harms our environment and puts wild animals in danger. Many plastic products take hundreds of years to break down, leaving lasting harm to the earth. To solve this serious problem, people start to use more environmentally friendly things, and bamboo products are becoming more and more popular. Bamboo is a kind of amazing plant. It grows very fast and doesn’t need much water or fertilizer (肥料). It can grow well in many different places, so it is very easy to plant more bamboo in a short time. People can make many daily things with bamboo, such as bamboo chopsticks, bamboo baskets, bowls and tables. These products are not only strong and cheap but also green. After being used, they can be easily broken down naturally and will not pollute the earth. What’s more, bamboo forests help clean the air and protect the soil. They also provide safe homes for many small animals. Using bamboo products is a simple but good way to live a green life. Let’s choose more bamboo products in our daily life to reduce plastic pollution and protect our beautiful earth. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A．Plastic waste. B．Ocean. C．Plant. D．Problem. 2．Why is bamboo easy to plant? A．It grows fast and needs little water. B．It is very strong. C．It can be made into many things. D．It is popular everywhere. 3．What can’t bamboo be made into according to the passage? A．Chopsticks. B．Baskets. C．Tables. D．Plates. 4．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Bamboo grows fast. B．Bamboo products are useful. C．Plastic pollution is serious. D．Bamboo forests are good for the environment. 5．What’s the passage mainly about? A．How to plant bamboo. B．Bamboo and green life. C．Plastic pollution. D．Ways to protect animals. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．D 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了全球严重的塑料污染问题，介绍了竹子生长迅速、易种植、绿色环保的优良特性，以及竹子广泛的日常用途和保护环境的作用，呼吁人们在生活中多使用竹制品，践行绿色生活，减少塑料污染、保护地球环境。 1．根据第一段第二句“Every year, tons of plastic waste enter oceans and forests. It seriously harms...” 可知，划线单词 “It” 指代前一句的主语“plastic waste”。 2．据第二段第二句“It grows very fast and doesn’t need much water or fertilizer... so it is very easy to plant...” 可知，竹子容易种植是因为它生长快且需要的水和肥料很少。 3．根据第三段第一句“People can make many daily things with bamboo, such as bamboo chopsticks, bamboo baskets, bowls and tables.” 可知，文中提到了筷子、篮子、碗和桌子，未提到“Plates”。 4．根据第四段首句“What’s more, bamboo forests help clean the air and protect the soil.”是该段主题句，后续内容介绍了竹林净化空气、保护土壤及为动物提供家园的作用，即竹林对环境有益。 5．全文从塑料污染问题引入，重点介绍了竹子的特性、用途及其对环境的保护作用，倡导人们使用竹制品践行绿色生活，因此“Bamboo and green life”（竹子与绿色生活）最能概括全文主旨。 Every year, millions of tons of plastic waste end up in landfills or oceans. But what if this waste could be turned into something that saves lives? Some scientists have done something amazing. They have used bacteria (细菌) to change plastic waste into a medicine that helps people with Parkinson’s disease (帕金森综合征). Parkinson’s disease is a brain illness. It makes parts of the brain stop producing a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺). Without enough dopamine, people have trouble moving. They may shake, move slowly, or be unable to move freely. There is no cure for this disease. In China nowadays, about 3,000,000 people live with it. The main treatment for Parkinson’s is a drug containing L-Dopa. L-Dopa helps the brain produce more dopamine. Traditionally, L-Dopa is made from fossil fuels like petroleum (石油). But getting fossil fuels from the ground harms the environment. Burning them also creates greenhouse gases, which make the Earth warmer and cause climate change. To solve this problem, researchers changed the DNA of bacteria. DNA carries instructions for building a living thing. The new bacteria can break down one of the main chemicals in plastic bottles and turn it into L-Dopa. Scientists have already used a similar process to make paracetamol, a common painkiller (止痛药). Now they plan to produce L-Dopa in large amounts in factories. If they succeed, this technology could also make other important medicines. Using plastic waste to make drugs helps reduce pollution and provides a cleaner way to produce medicine. If we can make medicines for brain diseases from waste plastic bottles, imagine what else this technology could achieve. 1．What do scientists use to turn plastic waste into medicine? A．Bacteria. B．Fossil fuels. C．Painkillers. D．Greenhouse gases. 2．Which of the following is the correct order of Parkinson’s disease affecting people? a. People have difficulty moving.     b. The brain is harmed by the illness. c. People shake or move slowly.     d. The brain fails to make enough dopamine. A．a-c-d-b B．b-d-a-c C．c-a-b-d D．d-b-c-a 3．Why do scientists want to find new ways to produce L-Dopa? A．Because L-Dopa can’t treat Parkinson’s well. B．Because there is too much petroleum on the Earth. C．Because fossil fuels can’t produce dopamine any more. D．Because making L-Dopa from petroleum is bad for the environment. 4．What can the new kind of bacteria do? A．It can produce more plastic bottles. B．It can change DNA of all living things. C．It can cure Parkinson’s disease completely. D．It can turn chemicals in plastic into L-Dopa. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Terrible Brain Disease B．Ways to Reduce Plastic Pollution C．New Use of Plastic Waste D．Different Kinds of Common Medicines 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家利用细菌将塑料垃圾转化为治疗帕金森综合征的药物成分，介绍了帕金森病的危害、传统制药方式的弊端、新型制药技术的原理与优势，展现了塑料垃圾再利用的全新价值。 【详解】1．第一段指出科学家的研究方式：“They have used bacteria to change plastic waste into a medicine that helps people with Parkinson’s disease.”，说明科学家利用细菌将塑料垃圾转化为药物。 2．第二段介绍帕金森病的发病过程：“Parkinson’s disease is a brain illness. It makes parts of the brain stop producing a chemical called dopamine. Without enough dopamine, people have trouble moving. They may shake, move slowly, or be unable to move freely.”，说明患病顺序为大脑患病受损、大脑无法产生足够多巴胺、人们行动困难、身体颤抖或行动缓慢，对应B项。 3．第三段说明研发新制药方式的原因：“Traditionally, L-Dopa is made from fossil fuels like petroleum. But getting fossil fuels from the ground harms the environment.”，说明传统利用石油制造左旋多巴的方式会破坏环境，因此科学家寻找新的制作方法。 4．第四段介绍新型细菌的作用：“The new bacteria can break down one of the main chemicals in plastic bottles and turn it into L-Dopa.”，说明这种新型细菌可以将塑料中的化学物质转化为左旋多巴。 5．通读全文可知，文章围绕塑料垃圾的全新用途展开，介绍了利用塑料垃圾制作治疗帕金森病药物的新技术，核心主题为塑料垃圾的新用途，因此最佳标题为“New Use of Plastic Waste”。 China’s smart high-speed railway technology has become a shining name card of modern Chinese innovation (创新).

Low-carbon life means cutting down unnecessary carbon gas emission in daily small activities. Many bad daily living habits produce plenty of extra carbon, such as driving private cars every day, using disposable chopsticks and plastic bags, keeping electric lights on when no one is in the room and ordering too much takeout food which causes lots of waste. Changing small habits can make great differences for environment protection. Choosing shared bikes or public buses instead of driving private cars helps reduce harmful waste gas into the air. Using reusable cloth shopping bags instead of plastic bags can cut down white pollution. Saving tap water while washing hands and turning off unused lights help save power resources. All these simple actions are easy for every common person to carry out at home. Many families in China have started low-carbon daily activities in recent years. Parents set good examples for kids by practicing green living rules at home, and children also learn to form eco-friendly habits from daily life. The writer calls on every reader to start low-carbon life from tiny things, because small efforts from thousands of people will finally slow down global warming and protect our living planet. 1．Which action belongs to low-carbon life? A．Drive private cars every day. B．Use disposable tableware. C．Use reusable cloth shopping bags. D．Leave all lights on all day. 2．What leads to much carbon emission in daily life? A．Unhealthy living habits. B．Natural climate change. C．Increasing forest area. D．Reduced factory production. 3．How does riding shared bikes protect environment? A．Reduce car waste gas. B．Save house space. C．Cut down food cost. D．Improve sleeping quality. 4．What suggestion does the writer give to families? A．Buy more new furniture. B．Save water and electricity. C．Travel abroad frequently. D．Eat takeout every single day. 5．What’s the writing purpose of the text? A．Introduce new kinds of vehicles. B．Call for people to live low-carbon life.

These ancient markers of seasonal change have guided Chinese farming and daily life for thousands of years. Now, artificial intelligence (AI) is giving this ancient wisdom a fresh new look. One example is the AI micro-series Shanxi Taste. It draws inspiration from the Taosi archaeological site (陶寺遗址) in Shanxi, one birthplace of Chinese civilization. By combining AI with traditional culture, the show lets viewers “see” the ancient wisdom behind each solar term. In April 2026, the “AI Super Creativity Competition” was held in Chengdu, Beijing, Hong Kong and Macao. Twenty-four teams, each representing one solar term, created AI-produced videos within 24 hours. The theme was “The Great Beauty of China in Solar Terms.” A professor said it aimed to explore how AI can help spread traditional Chinese culture. AI is also used in other ways to protect intangible cultural heritage. Short videos like The 24 Solar Terms in Prints use AI to bring traditional printmaking to life. Some AI-powered platforms (平台) connect solar term culture with farming advice and health tips, making it useful today. Technology alone cannot keep culture alive — people’s love and understanding truly matter. But AI is a powerful tool, helping traditions find new audiences in the digital age. As one organizer said, “We hope to give ancient solar term culture a new life, so it can go global in a fresher way.” 1．What can we learn about the 24 solar terms from Paragraph 1? A．They were created in modern times. B．They were used to guide farming and daily life. C．They are mainly popular in Western countries. D．They have lost their value in today’s world. 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The development of AI technology. B．The AI Super Creativity Competition. C．Traditional Chinese farming culture. D．Protection of intangible cultural heritage. 3．What can we know about the “AI Super Creativity Competition”? A．Twenty-four teams took part in the competition. B．Teams were given one week to produce their videos. C．Each team created a video about all 24 solar terms. D．The competition focused on traditional painting skills. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．AI will completely replace traditional culture. B．The 24 solar terms are no longer useful today. C．Technology can help traditional culture reach more people. D．AI is more important than human love for culture. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人工智能（AI）如何与二十四节气等传统文化相结合，通过微剧、创意大赛、短视频等方式，使古老智慧在数字时代焕发新生，并吸引更多受众。 1．第一段“These ancient markers of seasonal change have guided Chinese farming and daily life for thousands of years.”可知，二十四节气自古以来指导农业和日常生活。A“现代创造”、C“主要在西方流行”、D“已失去价值”均错误。 2．根据第三段的内容，前文介绍了“AI超级创意大赛”的举办情况，紧接着提到“A professor said it aimed to explore...”，由此可知，这里的“it”指代的是前文提到的这场比赛。 3．第三段“Twenty-four teams, each representing one solar term, created AI-produced videos within 24 hours.”可知，有24支队伍参赛。B“一周时间”错误（24小时）；C“每个队制作关于所有节气的视频”错误（各代表一个节气）；D“关注传统绘画”未提及。 4．最后一段“helping traditions find new audiences in the digital age.”可知，技术帮助传统文化吸引更多受众。A“AI将完全取代传统文化”、B“二十四节气今天不再有用”、D“AI比人对文化的热爱更重要”均与文意不符。 5．文章第①段总起（AI赋能二十四节气焕新）；第②、③、④段分述三个实例（山西微短剧、跨四地AI创作大赛、非遗/农耕多场景AI应用）；第⑤段总结升华（AI是助力传统文化走向世界的工具）。A选项符合。 Do you feel relaxed when you walk in a park or sit by a lake? Scientists have found that spending time in nature is not just pleasant, it is actually good for your brain. A recent study supported by the National Institutes of Health in the US looked at how nature affects people’s minds and bodies. The researchers focused on people who often feel stressed, worried, or sad. They wanted to know whether being in a natural environment could help these people feel better. The study used two scientific tools. One tool records brain activity to check brain effects, while the other shows how the body deals with stress to check body effects. Participants (参与者) were asked to spend time in natural settings like parks or forests, while others stayed in city environments. The results showed that people who spent time in nature had lower stress levels and better attention control. Their brains showed more activity in areas related to calmness and focus. However, those who stayed in city environments did not show the same improvements. According to the researchers, nature may help the brain recover (恢复) from mental (心原的) tiredness. This idea is called the Attention Restoration Theory. It suggests that natural views greatly hold our attention without requiring much effort, giving our brains a chance to rest. The study also has practical meanings. Some doctors have started giving “nature time” to patients, just like medicine. Spending even 20 minutes in a green space can make a difference. So next time you feel tired of homework or exams, try taking a short walk in a park. It might be just what your brain needs. 1．What does the study aim to find out? A．When brains need a good rest. B．Where we spend time with nature. C．How nature helps stressed people. D．Why city life harms people’s health. 2．What does the study use to check the effects on the body? A．A simple written test. B．A diary from participants. C．A camera that takes photos of the brain. D．A tool that records how the body works. 3．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Nature’s help to the brain. B．Reasons to live in big cities. C．Ways to show more activities. D．Problems with the recent study. 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A．Question → Story → Ending B．Opinion → Fact → suggestions C．Introduction → Research → Findings → advice D．Problem → Research → Solution → Example 5．Which idea would the writer most likely agree with? A．Homework and exams make brains tired. B．Twenty minutes in nature is very helpful. C．Doctors should give less medicine to patients. D．Walking in a green space can solve all problems. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了大自然对大脑的益处，研究发现自然环境中活动可以降低压力水平、提高注意力，并提出了“注意力恢复理论”。 1．第一段提出问题后，第二段指出研究目的：“The researchers focused on people who often feel stressed, worried, or sad. They wanted to know whether being in a natural environment could help these people feel better.”，这直接说明研究旨在探究大自然如何帮助压力大的人。 2．第三段说明研究使用的工具：“The study used two scientific tools. One tool records brain activity... while the other shows how the body deals with stress to check body effects.”，因此检查身体影响的工具是记录身体如何应对压力的工具。 3．第四段主要内容是：“The results showed that people who spent time in nature had lower stress levels and better attention control. Their brains showed more activity in areas related to calmness and focus.”，因此本段主旨是大自然对大脑的帮助。 4．全文结构为：第一段引入话题（Introduction），第二、三段描述研究方法（Research），第四段呈现研究结果（Findings），第五、六段给出建议和实际应用（advice）。因此结构为Introduction→Research→Findings→advice。 5．最后一段提到：“Spending even 20 minutes in a green space can make a difference.”，因此作者最可能同意的观点是在大自然中待二十分钟非常有帮助。 Grit (坚毅) is a small word with surprising power. It means having the courage to keep going, even when things feel difficult. For kids with dyslexia (诵读困难), grit appears every single day. It helps them read a difficult word slowly, finish a story that once felt impossible, and keep trying when the task seems too big. Grit also helps you in daily life. When you find it hard to finish your homework, or when you fail an exam, it pushes you to try again instead of quitting. It even helps you stick to your hobbies, like learning a new sport or playing an instrument, when you want to give up. Grit is not about being perfect. It is about learning, growing, and believing that every effort counts. It teaches patience, builds confidence (自信), and shows that success is not about speed, but about not giving up easily. Many successful people have grit. They failed many times but kept trying until they achieved their goals. Unlike luck, grit doesn’t happen by chance; it requires you to keep working hard even when no one watches. Parents often see this strength in their children. It’s like a steady (稳定的) light that keeps them moving forward. Grit is like a hidden power that gets stronger with every challenge they face and every small success they achieve. It is not something you are born with. It can be developed little by little through practice, such as finishing a difficult task or overcoming a small problem. So next time something feels hard, take a deep breath and remember your grit. Each time you try again, your mind grows a little stronger, and your dreams move a little closer. That is what true grit is all about. 1．How can grit help kids with dyslexia? A．By teaching them to read faster. B．By making reading fun for them. C．By helping them read difficult words. D．By changing their reading habits. 2．What does the underlined word “quitting” probably mean? A．Putting off. B．Giving up. C．Talking back. D．Slowing down. 3．What does grit teach people according to the text? A．To finish tasks fast. B．To realize dreams easily. C．To be perfect and brave. D．To be patient and confident. 4．Tom finds it hard to finish his science project and wants to give up. What should he do according to the text? A．Ask his science teacher for advice. B．Rest until he feels ready. C．Stop working and try another project. D．Remember his grit and keep trying. 5．What is the best title for the text? A．The Power of Having Grit B．The Key to Developing Hobbies C．Relations Between Grit and Luck D．Suggestions on Facing Challenges 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“坚毅（Grit）”的含义及其对孩子尤其是诵读困难儿童的帮助，并阐述坚毅并非天生，而是可以通过练习逐步培养的品质，鼓励人们在遇到困难时不要放弃。 1．第一段明确指出：“It helps them read a difficult word slowly, finish a story that once felt impossible, and keep trying when the task seems too big.” 说明坚毅帮助诵读困难的孩子慢慢读懂难词、完成曾经觉得不可能的任务，对应选项C“通过帮助他们读懂难词”。 2．第一段中“it pushes you to try again instead of quitting”，前后形成对比：try again（再试一次）与quitting（放弃）相对，因此quitting意为“giving up”。 3．第二段指出：“It teaches patience, builds confidence, and shows that success is not about speed, but about not giving up easily.” 明确说明坚毅教会人们耐心、建立自信。 4．根据最后一段：“So next time something feels hard, take a deep breath and remember your grit. Each time you try again, your mind grows a little stronger...” 因此Tom应该记住自己的坚毅并继续尝试。 5．全文围绕“Grit”展开，从它对诵读困难儿童的帮助，到日常生活中的作用，再到它可以被培养，始终在强调坚毅的力量。选项A“The Power of Having Grit”最能概括全文主旨。 The Maritime (海上的) Silk Road was an old sea route (航线). It connected China with many countries in Asia, Africa and Europe. More than 2,000 years ago, Chinese traders started to sail from places such as Panyu, Xuwen and Hepu (in today’s Guangdong and Guangxi). They went to Southeast Asia and India. From then on, the sea route between the East and the West was connected. In the Tang dynasty, the sea route grew fast. There was a famous sea route called “Guangzhou Tonghai Yidao”. It was about 14,000 kilometers long. It went through more than 100 countries and areas. At that time, it was the longest sea route in the world. Guangzhou became a busy trading city. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, China had trade and communication with more than 140 countries and areas. Porcelain became the main product for export, so people also called this the “Maritime Ceramic Road”. Ships also carried silk, tea and spices (香料). The sea trade was very active. In the Ming dynasty, Zheng He made seven great sea trips to Southeast Asia, India and Africa. But later, the government stopped most sea trade. In the Qing dynasty, only Guangzhou was open to foreign ships. The old sea road slowly became weak. Today, this old sea road has come back to life. China has started the “21st Century Maritime Silk Road” as part of the Belt and Road Initiative (“一带一路”倡议). Our country thinks this road is very important. It helps countries along the route to trade, share cultures, and build a better future together. The Maritime Silk Road is not only history — it is also a bright bridge for tomorrow. 1．What can we infer (推断) according to Paragraph 3? A．Chinese traders had good ships and skills. B．The sea route of China was very short. C．Few Chinese traders used the sea route. D．Foreigners didn’t have this kind of sea trade. 2．What happened to the sea route from the Tang to the Yuan dynasty? A．It became shorter in distance. B．It connected fewer countries. C．It grew busier and reached more places. D．It stopped completely for some time. 3．The Qing dynasty allowed only Guangzhou to be open. This suggests that ________. A．many Chinese ports (港口) were still busy B．the sea trade of China was heavily limited C．foreign ships could go to any port of China D．the government of China encouraged more trade 4．What is the main idea of the text? A．The reasons why Guangzhou became a trade center. B．The different Chinese products sold along the sea route. C．The history and rebirth of the Maritime Silk Road. D．The life of Zheng He and his seven ocean journeys. 5．What’s the best structure for the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文介绍了海上丝绸之路的历史发展。 1．第三段中提到“There was a famous sea route called ‘Guangzhou Tonghai Yidao’. It was about 14,000 kilometers long. It went through more than 100 countries and areas... Guangzhou became a busy trading city.”，这说明中国商人需要良好的船只和航海技术才能支持如此长的航线和繁忙的贸易。 2．第三段提到唐代“There was a famous sea route... It went through more than 100 countries and areas”，第四段提到宋元时期“China had trade and communication with more than 140 countries and areas... The sea trade was very active.”，所以从唐代到元代，海上丝绸之路变得更加繁忙，到达了更多地方。 3．第五段中提到“In the Qing dynasty, only Guangzhou was open to foreign ships.”，这说明中国的海上贸易受到了严格限制。 4．全文按时间顺序(汉代→唐代→宋元→明代→清代→现代)介绍了海上丝绸之路的兴起、繁荣、衰落和复兴，所以文章主旨是海上丝绸之路的历史与重生。 5．文章结构：第①段总起(介绍海上丝绸之路)；第②段讲汉代起源；第③段讲唐代发展；第④段讲宋元鼎盛；第⑤段说明清衰落；第⑥段讲现代复兴。是总分结构，选项D正确。 A lot of people take up dancing as a hobby and make friends through dancing after school. In fact, dancing has been considered one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings in recent years. Dancing, which includes moving the body to different kinds of music, helps our bodies produce much endorphin (内啡肽), a chemical that makes us feel relaxed and happy. While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results. In a study, a group of German scientists tested some patients under three conditions: a group dancing with music, a group just listening to music, and a group riding bikes without music. The results showed that the first group were the most delighted. Dancing can bring people together, too. Tango, Latin or other social dancing require us to move with others, which can improve our sense of social communication, according to IBSA, a Swiss scientific foundation. Dancing also helps people let go of bad feelings. Studies have found that bad feelings often have to do with sadness about the past or worries about the future. However, dancing helps you focus on the present, connect with your body, and free your mind for a while, as reported Psych Central, a mental health news website. Lauren Helper, a social worker in Virginia, US, pointed out that if people enjoy music of any kind, dancing can be a helpful way to reduce stress. She also said that dancing can take any form, whether it’s moving around the house to a song or going out dancing with friends. “The important part of movement is that it is fun,” she told Psych Central. 1．Why is dancing regarded as one of the best exercises to fight bad feelings? A．Because it helps people make more friends. B．Because it is a popular hobby among students after school. C．Because it helps the body produce a kind of happy chemical. D．Because it includes moving the body to different kinds of music. 2．What does the underlined word “delighted” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Tired and sleepy. B．Excited and active. C．Sad and hopeless. D．Calm and peaceful. 3．How many advantages of dancing are mentioned in this passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．What can we infer from the passage about dancing? A．It requires a good sense of social communication. B．It is only helpful when done in groups or dance clubs. C．It works better than just listening to music or exercising without music. D．It helps people let go of bad feelings by focusing on sadness or worries. 5．What is this passage mainly about? A．The styles of dancing. B．The history of dancing. C．The studies on dancing. D．The advantages of dancing. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了跳舞作为一种爱好和运动，具有对抗负面情绪、促进社交及减轻压力等多方面的优势。 1．根据第二段“helps our bodies produce much endorphin, a chemical that makes us feel relaxed and happy.”可知，跳舞能帮助身体产生内啡肽，这是一种让人放松和快乐的化学物质，因此被视为对抗负面情绪的最佳运动之一。 2．根据第三段“While simply listening to music or doing sports can cheer us up, mixing them together gives better results.”以及“The results showed that the first group were the most delighted.”可知，跳舞组的效果最好，情绪最高涨，结合语境，delighted意为“高兴的、愉快的”，与“Excited and active（兴奋且活跃）”的情感色彩最接近。 3．通读全文可知，文章提到了跳舞的以下优势：1. 产生内啡肽让人快乐（第二段）；2. 比单纯听音乐或运动效果更好（第三段）；3. 改善社交沟通（第四段）；4. 帮助专注当下、解放思绪（第五段）；5. 减轻压力（第六段）。共提及五点优势。 4．根据第三段“mixing them together gives better results…The results showed that the first group were the most delighted.”可知，跳舞结合音乐比单纯听音乐或无音乐运动效果更好。 5．全文围绕跳舞带来的好处展开，包括生理上的内啡肽分泌、社交上的沟通改善、心理上的专注当下以及减轻压力等，主要讲述的是跳舞的优点。 In many of China’s top tourist attractions, exoskeleton (外骨骼) robots are quietly changing the way people experience hiking. From Mount Tai and Wuyi Mountain to the Great Wall and National Forest Park, this kind of robot has become a new must try for visitors. The exoskeleton robot is a wearable device (设备) with AI technology and powered support systems. It weighs only 1.8 kg and a 30-minute charge (充电) can support a 5-hour walk. Tests show it can reduce climbing tiredness greatly. In fact, users say they feel about 40% less tired than before. “The moment I begin to climb, I feel a gentle push. It really helps me climb up easily,” said one user. Another user added, “I was amazed that my legs didn’t hurt at all after reaching the top.” The robot has also opened up new possibilities for older travelers. ▲ Or they could only enjoy narrow views from cable cars (缆车).

One wonderful cultural show was called Ode to the Flower Gods (贺花神). It got its idea from the White Jade Twelve-Month Pendants (白玉十二生肖挂件) in the Palace Museum. The show beautifully mixes twelve months, twelve flowers, and twelve famous historical figures into one poetic program. It shows the beauty of traditional Chinese culture and tells us how flowers can stand for great qualities and valuable ideas. The show is special because each flower is matched with a person who has a similar spirit. Among them are seven great writers, such as Lin Bu, Lu You, Zhou Dunyi, Xu Wei, Tao Yuanming, Li Qingzhao and Bai Juyi. Their good qualities are just like the meanings of plum blossoms (梅花), apricot blossoms (杏花), lotuses (荷花), hollyhocks (蜀葵), chrysanthemums (菊花), sweet osmanthus (桂花) and camellias (山茶花). The show also includes four famous women: Xi Furen, Yang Yuhuan, Wang Zhaojun and LuoShen. They are connected with peach blossoms, peonies, cotton roses and daffodils. Zhang Qian, who brought pomegranates (石榴) to China, shows the brave spirit of the pomegranate flower. In this way, the show changes the old idea that only women can be flower gods. It fully shows the traditional Chinese idea of “finding virtues in flowers”. With the help of advanced AIGC technology, the show brings real performers and digital pictures together perfectly. On the stage, the twelve jade pendants finally form a full circle, which stands for the cycle of time and the beauty of harmony. Ode to the Flower Gods is more than a great artistic show; it helps people feel closer to their own culture through lively symbols. It keeps traditional culture alive in the digital age and shows the spirit of Chinese civilization with soft but strong cultural confidence. 1．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of flowers in Chinese culture. B．A special cultural show at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala. C．Famous historical figures in Chinese history.

Although people lovingly call them the “greater bay chickens (大湾鸡)”, their design actually comes from the Chinese white dolphin—a valuable animal known as the “panda of the sea”. The mascots’ design is full of meaning. For example, the three-colored water patterns on their heads stand for the official flowers of the host cities: Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Macao. When we look from the front, the water patterns form a heart, which means “Everyone is together”. What has made the mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games. In fact, they are not lively by accident. The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools (武术学校). To bring the mascots to life, they have practised for nearly five months. Their wonderful martial arts skills and cheerful natures have truly won the hearts of the public. This popularity is also serving as a powerful economic (经济的) driver. Over 2,800 official products, like toy “greater bay chickens”, have been developed for the Games. They have become especially popular and sold out quickly both online and in stores. The success shows how a strong cultural idea, together with modern design, can really connect with people today. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What animal is the design of the mascots actually from? A．The panda. B．The chicken. C．The Chinese white dolphin. D．The greater bay bird. 2．Why do the mascots become popular according to the passage? A．Because they are full of energy. B．Because they are made of expensive materials. C．Because they can speak three different languages. D．Because they look cute and act in a lively way. 3．Where are the teenage performers from? A．Sports schools. B．Martial arts schools. C．Art colleges. D．Music colleges. 4．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)? A．Mascot actors. B．Stores. C．Official products. D．Games. 5．What can we know from the passage? A．The mascots are lively by accident. B．Only traditional cultural ideas can connect with modern people. C．The “greater bay chickens” are not popular online. D．A meaningful design with good performance can win people’s hearts. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文介绍第十五届全运会吉祥物喜洋洋、乐融融，讲解其白海豚原型设计寓意、表演者来源以及周边产品带来的经济效益。 1．原文第一段提到“their design actually comes from the Chinese white dolphin”，可知吉祥物原型是中华白海豚。 2．原文第三段提到“What has made the mascots so popular is not only their cute appearances, but also the humorous and energetic performances at the Games.”，说明因外形可爱、表演生动活泼而受欢迎。 3．原文第三段提到“The performers inside the mascot suits are teenage students from martial arts schools”，表演者来自武术学校。 4．原文第四段“Over 2,800 official products...They have become especially popular”，代词They指代前文的官方周边产品。 5．原文二、三段分别介绍吉祥物富有内涵的设计与生动的表演收获人心，因此D“富有意义的设计搭配出色的表演能赢得人们喜爱”表述正确。 Now, the world is facing serious water problems. And these problems are becoming more and more complex (复杂的). People can’t imagine what life will be like without water. There would be no plants, no animals and no people. So the importance of water is considered to be next to oxygen. Although nearly three-quarters of the earth’s surface is covered with water, it is sea water mostly and can’t be drunk. As we can see, the world’s population is growing rapidly day by day. So enough fresh water is needed to feed such a large population. The water used by people comes from oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams. Many water resources have been polluted. People are throwing things into the water. Factories are pouring waste materials into the water. Cities are dumping sewage (脏水) into the water. Would you like to drink the water that comes from a resource that has been polluted so badly? It is time that we should take on the responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Fortunately, people have realized these problems and are trying to find ways to solve them. Firstly, people are expected to economize (节约) water. Secondly, measures are taken to protect water resources. Thirdly, circulating (循环的) water can be used for industrial purposes and for irrigation (灌溉) in farming land. 1．People consider the importance of water to be next to ________. A．food B．oxygen C．money D．life 2．________ of the earth’s surface is covered with sea water and it is undrinkable. A．Almost 50 percent B．Almost 75 percent C．Over 75 percent D．Less than 50 percent 3．The main water pollution doesn’t come from ________. A．people throwing things into the water B．factories pouring waste materials into the water C．bad smoke from a car’s engine (引擎) D．cities dumping sewage 4．Which of the following ways is not TRUE to protect water? A．Take measures to protect water resources. B．Recycle water. C．Stop using water. D．Use less water if it’s possible. 5．Which is the best title of the passage in the following? A．Protecting Water Resources. B．Circulating Water. C．Economizing Water. D．Water is important. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界面临的水资源问题，包括淡水短缺和水污染的原因，并提出了节约用水、保护水资源和循环用水等解决措施。 1．第一段最后一句明确指出：“So the importance of water is considered to be next to oxygen.”，说明人们认为水的重要性仅次于氧气。 2．第二段第一句指出：“Although nearly three-quarters of the earth’s surface is covered with water, it is sea water mostly...”，“three-quarters”即四分之三，也就是75%。因此，几乎75%的地球表面被海水覆盖且不可饮用。 3．第二段中列举了水污染的来源：“People are throwing things into the water. Factories are pouring waste materials into the water. Cities are dumping sewage (脏水) into the water.”。A、B、D项均在文中提及，而C项“汽车引擎产生的坏烟雾”属于大气污染，文中未提及它是主要的水污染源。 4．第三段提出的保护措施包括：节约水（economize water）、采取措施保护水资源（protect water resources）、循环用水（circulating water）。A、B、D项均符合文意。C项“Stop using water”（停止用水）是不现实的，也不是文中建议的方法。 5．全文围绕水资源的现状、污染问题以及如何保护水资源展开，最后一段重点讲述了解决办法。虽然水很重要，但文章的重心在于如何应对危机和保护资源，因此“Protecting Water Resources”是最贴切的标题。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
