That’s because he spent most of his time painting Chinese ink(墨水) and wash paintings quietly in the study, and seldom communicated with her. One rainy weekend, Lina walked into the study and saw him looking at a half-finished bamboo painting. “Can I learn to paint too, Grandpa?” she asked nervously. Grandpa was surprised and agreed. At first, Lina was not good with the brush. She even dropped ink on the paper and felt a bit embarrassed. But Grandpa didn’t mind. He taught Lina how to hold the brush gently. Every evening, Lina practiced with great interest. She paid close attention and drew each line carefully. She checked her work again and again, hoping to make every line just right. Sometimes, Grandpa shared different stories about how ancient artists used ink paintings to show their love for nature. Lina listened quietly, feeling moved by each story. As time went by, Lina found that every line could send her messages and feelings. A warm feeling grew inside her. Weeks later, Lina finished her first bamboo painting. Its lines were still a little wobbly( 不稳的),but the bamboo looked bright and lively. Grandpa hung it next to his own work on the wall. “You’ve got the heart of bamboo—soft but strong,” he said. Lina felt so proud that her eyes lit up. Later, Lina fell in love with Chinese ink and wash painting. At the same time, the relationship between her and Grandpa also grew closer. Now she knows that traditional culture isn’t just old art, but a warm line that ties people’s hearts together. 1．Why did Lina feel distant from her grandpa at first? A．Because of different living habits. B．Because of the long distance between them. C．Because of little communication between them. 2．What can we know about Lina from the passage? A．She is honest and active in daily life. B．She is kind and outgoing when making friends. C．She is careful and hard-working when learning things. 3．What does Grandpa really mean by saying “You’ve got the heart of bamboo—soft but strong”? A．Lina’s love for Chinese ink and wash painting is as strong as bamboo. B．Lina has a gentle character but a strong inner spirit. C．Lina’s bamboo painting has both soft and strong lines. 4．Look at the mind map. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? Lina’s experience A．embarrassed; sharing her story B．afraid; learning to hold the brush C．interested; hearing Grandpa’s praise 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Paint Bamboo B．A Line to Grandpa’s Heart C．Stories About Ancient Artists 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了原本与爷爷关系疏远的Lina在一个雨天请求学中国水墨画，在爷爷的教导下她坚持练习，完成了首幅作品，此后她爱上了中国水墨画，与爷爷的关系也更亲近。文章旨在鼓励学生传承中华优秀传统文化，并与家人增进交流。 【详解】1．根据第一段第二句“That’s because he spent most of his time painting Chinese ink (墨水) and wash paintings quietly in the study, and seldom communicated with her.”可知，是因为爷爷大部分时间在书房安静地画中国水墨画，很少和她交流。 2．根据第三段第二、三句“She paid close attention and drew each line carefully. She checked her work again and again, hoping to make every line just right.”可知，Lina学习时全神贯注，仔细画每一条线，还反复检查自己的作品，说明她学东西时认真且勤奋。 3．结合文章内容可知，Lina在学习绘画过程中表现出性格上的温柔，同时又能坚持练习，克服困难，所以爷爷的话是指Lina有温柔的性格但内心精神很坚韧。 4．根据第三段第一句“Every evening, Lina practiced with great interest”可知，练习时她的情绪是interested；再根据爷爷的夸奖“You’ve got the heart of bamboo—soft but strong”让她感到proud，可知触发该情绪的事件是hearing Grandpa’s praise。 5．文章主要讲述了Lina通过学习中国水墨画，和爷爷的关系变得更亲密了，传统的中国水墨画就像一条温暖的线，连接了他们的心。“A Line to Grandpa’s Heart”能很好地概括文章的主旨。 Passage 2 （2026·山西临汾·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 On the evening of May 13th, a video became very popular on the Internet. It showed a special moment at Beijing Capital Airport. US President Donald Trump arrived on his plane—“Air Force One”. The large plane moved slowly on the airport ground. Its four engines made a very loud noise and blew out hot air. The ground even shook a little. But right next to the plane, a young Chinese soldier stood quietly. He was only a few meters away from the plane. The noise was quite loud, and the wind was very strong. However, the soldier did not move at all. He did not blink (眨眼) his eyes or step back. He stood as straight as a tree. Many foreign reporters were there. One of them took a video and posted it online. The video quickly got millions of views. A US reporter named Jon Michael Raasch wrote, “The engines were roaring loud, but this man didn’t even blink. We respect the spirit and discipline (纪律) of Chinese soldiers.” Many foreign Internet users were surprised. They left words like, “Is he a robot?” “This is amazing!” “How can a man be so calm?” “Chinese soldiers are truly great.” In fact, being a member of the Chinese military honor guard is not easy. These soldiers train very hard. They learn to stand still in strong wind, heavy rain, and loud noise. They practice not blinking for a very long time. Their strong will and discipline come from thousands of hours of training. That night, the young soldier did not say a word. But his straight back and steady (坚定的) eyes told the world: This is the spirit of Chinese soldiers. This is the confidence of China. 1．Why did the video become popular online? A．Because Donald Trump came to China. B．Because the Chinese soldier stood still. C．Because Chinese technology is amazing. 2．Who took the video of this soldier? A．A foreign reporter. B．Another soldier. C．An Internet user. 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．The popularity of the video. B．The spirit of Chinese people. C．Foreigners’ ideas about the soldier. 4．Which phrase can best describe the training of those soldiers? A．Rain or shine. B．Hard and boring. C．Easy and exciting. 5．What does the passage mainly want to show? A．The influence of China on the world. B．The strong spirit of Chinese soldiers. C．The importance of China-US meeting. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述一名中国仪仗兵在飞机巨大噪音与强风下纹丝不动，被外国记者拍摄的视频走红网络，进而展现中国军人过硬素养与精神的故事。 【详解】1．原文第二段描写士兵在巨大噪音和强风中“stood quietly”、“did not move at all"，以及第三段“The video quickly got millions of views…‘The engines were roaring loud…We respect the spirit and discipline (自律) of Chinese soldiers.’ Many foreign Internet users were surprised.”提到视频获得百万观看且网友惊叹士兵的冷静，说明视频走红主要是因为这位中国士兵纹丝不动的表现。 2．原文第三段“Many foreign reporters were there. One of them took a video and posted it online.”提到拍摄视频的是在场的外国记者。 3．原文第三段“A US reporter named Jon Michael Raasch wrote, ‘The engines were roaring loud…’Many foreign Internet users were surprised. They left words like…”说明整段内容围绕外国人看完视频后对这名士兵的看法展开。 4．原文第四段“They learn to stand still in strong wind, heavy rain, and loud noise.”提到士兵需要在狂风大雨、嘈杂环境中坚持训练；“Rain or shine”意为“风雨无阻”，既对应了文中的天气描写，也体现了坚持训练的精神。 5．通读全文，文章通过描述士兵在机场的表现、外界的评价以及背后的艰苦训练，最后在结尾段“But his straight back and steady (坚定的) eyes told the world: This is the spirit of Chinese soldiers. This is the confidence of China.”点明主旨，旨在展示中国军人强大的精神面貌。 Passage 3 （2026·山西晋中·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 On April 26, 2026, China’s C919 large plane flew from Guangzhou to Hefei. This was its first flight on this new route (路线) and Hefei became the 23rd stop on the C919’s route map. People who took the flight had different feelings about it. The plane’s captain (机长) has nearly 20 years of flying experience. For him, flying the C919 was quite special. Thanks to the new and high-quality parts made in China, the plane was very easy to control and could fly smoothly even when there was some wind. He felt our country made great progress in making planes. He was proud to fly such a fine home-made plane. A 14-year-old student named Li Wei has taken many flights on this route, but this time he felt different. First, the space in the plane was large. The seats were wider. Second, a charging (充电) place was available at every seat, so passengers could charge their phones easily. Third, the noise level inside was much lower than that of other planes. When the C919 landed in Hefei, all the passengers got off with big smiles. They took photos in front of the plane and recorded videos to keep this special moment. Some said they would never forget this flight. For them, it was not just a trip, but a beautiful memory to treasure. From Guangzhou to Hefei, this first flight marked a new step for the C919. As its route map continues to grow, we look forward to seeing it fly to more cities in China and beyond. 1．Which stop was Hefei on the C919’s flight route? A．The 23rd. B．The 14th. C．The 26th. 2．What made the C919 fly smoothly according to the captain? A．The good weather conditions. B．The rich flying experience. C．The plane parts made in China. 3．Why did Li Wei feel different about this flight? A．Because the plane became easier to operate. B．Because the plane achieved a higher travel speed. C．Because the plane provided a more comfortable experience. 4．What’s the structure of this passage? A． B． C． 5．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The ways to become a good pilot. B．The history of Guangzhou and Hefei. C．The feelings of people about a new route. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了国产大飞机C919广州至合肥新航线的首次飞行，分享了不同乘机人员对C919的体验与感受，点明了此次飞行的意义，并对C919未来的发展进行了展望。 【详解】1．根据第一段“Hefei became the 23rd stop on the C919’s route map”可知，合肥是C919航线的第23个停靠站点。 2．根据第二段“Thanks to the new and high-quality parts made in China, the plane was very easy to control and could fly smoothly...”可知，国产优质零部件让飞机飞行平稳。 3．第三段李伟提到“First, the space in the plane was large. The seats were wider. Second, a charging place was available at every seat... the noise level inside was much lower than that of other planes.”，全部都是乘坐体验更舒适的细节。 4．文章第一段总述C919首飞新航线的事件，引出话题；第二到第四段分别介绍机长、学生、其他乘客的不同感受；第五段总结全文、展望C919的未来，属于总分总结构，对应B选项的结构图。 5．本文围绕C919广州至合肥新航线的首飞，重点介绍不同人群对这次首飞的感受，因此选项C符合主旨内容。 Passage 4 （2026·山西忻州·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Being left-handed sounds cool. In fact, it is not a kind of unusual talent, but a special way of living and growing. My journey started at an early age. In kindergarten, my teacher gave me a pair of child-safe scissors. The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten (咬)by a mouse. My teacher shook her head and told me to “practice harder”. I began to realize that most of the things in the world were designed for right-handed people. Then came school seats with a writing board on the right. Every time I wrote, I had to turn my body with my other arm hanging in the air. So my handwriting was always messy. Later, I watched some videos online to learn the correct sitting and pen-holding postures (姿势) for left-handed people. Day by day, my handwriting became clear and beautiful. My grandmother once tried to “fix” me by tying my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she would say. I tried and soon dropped a bowl of soup on the floor. Grandma gave up and said, “Maybe she’s special.” Many researchers believe that left-handed people are more creative and better at problem-solving. After dealing with small things well, like door handles (把手) and table tennis rackets, I felt more confident. Being left-handed means more than just using my left hand. It teaches me to think differently and face challenges with a smile. I learn to find my own ways to solve problems and get used to everyday life. 1．Why did the writer’s paper-cut look terrible? A．Because she didn’t practice hard. B．Because it was bitten by a mouse. C．Because the scissors didn’t suit her. 2．How did the writer improve her handwriting? A．By taking a handwriting class. B．By asking her deskmate for help. C．By watching some videos online. 3．What does the writer’s grandma mean by “Maybe she’s special”? A．She has a special skill. B．It’s difficult to change her habit. C．More patience should be given to her. 4．What did being left-handed bring to the writer? A．Talent, success and happiness. B．Energy, interest and friendship. C．Creativity, confidence and courage. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．My Special Growing Experience B．Some Social Skills in Everyday Life C．The Importance of Thinking Differently 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者作为左撇子，在成长过程中遇到的不便与挑战，以及她如何通过努力克服困难、接纳自己，并从中学会用不同方式思考、自信面对生活的故事。 【详解】1．根据第二段内容“My teacher gave me a pair of child-safe scissors…I began to realize that most of the things in the world were designed for right-handed people.”可知，作者剪出的纸很难看，是因为剪刀等工具大多是为右撇子设计的，不适合左撇子的她使用。 2．根据第三段内容“Later, I watched some videos online to learn the correct sitting and pen-holding postures for left-handed people. Day by day, my handwriting became clear and beautiful.”可知，作者是通过在线观看视频学习正确的姿势来改善书写的。 3．根据第四段内容，祖母曾试图通过将作者的左手绑在身后强迫她改用右手，但作者很快打翻了汤，祖母于是放弃并说“Maybe she’s special”。这意味着祖母意识到很难改变作者左撇子的习惯。 4．根据第五段“left-handed people are more creative…I felt more confident”以及第六段“face challenges with a smile”可知，左撇子的经历带给作者创造力(creativity)、自信(confidence)以及面对挑战的勇气(courage)。 5．全文围绕作者作为左撇子的成长经历展开，讲述了她遇到的困难、如何克服它们，以及最终如何接纳并正视自己的“不同”。A选项“我的特别成长经历”最能概括全文主旨，B、C选项都过于片面。 阅读理解之说明文 Passage 1 （2026·山西长治·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Volunteering is a meaningful activity.

The amazing technique (技艺) in Sichuan Opera is used to express different feelings and characters through the actors’ face masks (面具). There are over 300 kinds of local operas in China. Sichuan Opera is one of the oldest forms of Chinese opera. As the most interesting opera form from Southwest China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing and some areas of Yunnan and Guizhou. The opera has three special techniques—changing faces, spitting (吐) fire, and rolling lights. Face changing is the most famous one. It is an important intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Only a few actors have picked up this technique. They know how to change the face masks magically. As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again. Face changing started about 300 years ago. In the beginning, opera actors changed the color of their faces by blowing into a bowl of red, black or gold powder (粉末). The powder would stick to their oiled skin quickly. In another way, actors would cover their faces with colored paste (糊状物) hidden in their hands. By the 1920s, opera actors began using masks made of oiled paper. They could peel them one after another faster. At present, the actors use full-face painted silk masks. They are so thin that actors can even change about 10 masks in 20 seconds. As the materials of the masks are changing, we can enjoy more kinds of masks and they are much thinner than before. Sichuan Opera keeps developing because of new technologies. 1．What is face changing used for in Sichuan Opera? A．Telling stories in a creative way. B．Expressing different feelings and characters. C．Showing the performers’ amazing techniques. 2．Where is face changing popular in China? A．In Southwest China. B．In Northwest China. C．In Southeast China. 3．How do opera actors perform face changing? A．By doing magical tricks. B．By moving their arms and heads. C．By spitting fire and rolling lights. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Face changing became popular 300 years ago. B．It’s easy for Sichuan people to learn face changing. C．Silk masks increase the speed of face changing. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The process of face changing. B．The popularity of face changing. C．The introduction of face changing. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文介绍川剧变脸，介绍川剧地域分布、三大独门绝活，讲解变脸非遗的起源与历代面具材料演变，说明技艺随材料革新不断发展。 【详解】1．根据第一段第二句“The amazing technique...is used to express different feelings and characters through the actors’ face masks”，变脸技艺用于“表达不同的情感和角色”。 2．根据第二段第三句“As the most interesting opera form from Southwest China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing...”，川剧流行于“中国西南地区”。 3．根据第三段最后一句“As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again”，演员“通过挥动手臂和转动头部”来变换面具。 4．根据第四段最后两句“At present, the actors use full-face painted silk masks. They are so thin that actors can even change about 10 masks in 20 seconds”，丝绸面具很薄，提高了变脸速度。 5．本文依次介绍了变脸的用途、流行地区、表演方式、历史演变及发展现状，是对川剧变脸的综合“介绍”。 Passage 4 （2026·山西吕梁·二模） Famous Old Courtyards in Shanxi There are many old courtyards in Shanxi. Among them, the Wang Family Courtyard and the Qiao Family Courtyard are the most famous. They are in Lingshi County and Qixian County of Shanxi. These courtyards show beautiful ancient Chinese buildings and the special culture of Shanxi’s merchants (商人). The Wang Family Courtyard is called “the First Courtyard under Heaven”. It is very large—more than 250, 000 square meters. The Wang family built and expanded (扩建) it for about 300 years during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The yards are arranged (排列) neatly, following traditional Chinese ideas. Every part has nice carvings (雕刻) on wood, stone and bricks. These carvings tell stories about good family rules and happy life. Some parts are cave-style houses, which fit the local land well. The Qiao Family Courtyard covers 8, 724 square meters. It became famous because of the film Raise the Red Lantern. There are 6 main yards and 19 small yards in it. They are connected by walkways. Unlike the Wang Family Courtyard’s big size, the Qiao Family Courtyard is smaller and neater and suitable for family life. Both courtyards are not just old houses.

He found an open space and began his slow, smooth Tai Chi movements. This tradition has been repeated every morning in Chenjiagou for nearly 400 years. Chenjiagou is a small village. In the mid-17th century, a villager named Chen Wangting created Tai Chi according to traditional boxing skills, which was officially recognized (官方认定) in 2007. Over the following centuries, Tai Chi spread from this village to the rest of China and then to the world. In December 2020, Tai Chi was added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产名录). When the big news arrived, the villagers beat drums to celebrate it excitedly. "This is the outcome of hard work by many Chinese Tai Chi masters. They have done a lot to make this happen, " said Chen Bing, one of the Chen-style Tai Chi masters. March 21, 2026, was the first International Tai Chi Day. The date is called chunfen in Chinese, a day of balance between yin and yang, which matches the philosophy (哲学) of Tai Chi. On that morning, nearly 1,000 Tai Chi lovers in Chenjiagou dressed in uniforms and practiced together. The celebration also took place in foreign countries. In Nigeria, Austria, France and Hungary, Tai Chi lovers also practiced the same movements in the morning. “Tai Chi is not just a sport. It is a way of keeping healthy,” said István Varga, leader of the Hungarian Kungfu Group. “Practicing together on the same day helps different cultures understand each other through the same thing.” 1．Who created Tai Chi? A．Chen Qinghuan. B．Chen Wangting. C．Chen Bing. 2．What does the underlined word “outcome” mean? A．Pride. B．Decision. C．Result. 3．What can we learn about “chunfen”? A．It means yin and yang balance. B．It is the hottest day of the year. C．It marks the birth of Tai Chi. 4．Why did many foreign Tai Chi lovers celebrate International Tai Chi Day? A．They wanted to exercise to keep healthy. B．They wanted to remember the important day. C．They wanted to help people understand different cultures. 5．What can be the best title for the passage? A．The Background and Development of Tai Chi B．The Popularity of Tai Chi in the World C．The First International Tai Chi Day 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了太极拳的起源、发展历程，包括从陈家沟传播到世界各地，被列入非物质文化遗产名录，首个国际太极拳日的庆祝情况，以及其在促进不同文化理解方面的意义。 【详解】1．第一段第三句“In the mid - 17th century, a villager named Chen Wangting created Tai Chi according to traditional boxing skills.”可知此句明确指出在17世纪中期，一个叫陈王廷的村民根据传统拳法技巧创造了太极拳，所以创造太极拳的是陈王廷。 2．第二段第二句“This is the outcome of hard work by many Chinese Tai Chi masters. They have done a lot to make this happen.”可知，前文提到太极拳被列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录这个消息，这里说这是许多中国太极拳大师努力的outcome，他们做了很多才让这件事发生，所以outcome意思是“结果”，与Result意思相符。 3．第三段第二句“The date is called chunfen in Chinese, a day of balance between yin and yang, which matches the philosophy of Tai Chi.”可知该句表明春分在中国被称为“春分”，是阴阳平衡的一天，与太极拳的哲学相匹配，所以“春分”意味着阴阳平衡。 4．第四段第二句“Practicing together on the same day helps different cultures understand each other through the same thing.”可知，匈牙利功夫集团领导人说在同一天一起练习有助于不同文化通过同一件事相互理解，所以许多外国太极拳爱好者庆祝国际太极拳日是因为他们想帮助理解不同文化。 5．文章第一段讲太极拳的起源，第二段讲其被列入非遗名录，第三段讲第一个国际太极拳日，第四段讲国外的庆祝情况等。全文围绕太极拳展开，讲述了太极拳的起源、发展以及国际太极拳日等相关内容，A选项“太极拳的背景和发展”能很好地概括文章内容。 Passage 6 （2026·山西太原·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Have you ever wondered how to count all the squirrels (松鼠) in a forest or all the fish in a river? You can hardly catch every single one or just guess the possible answer, right? Biologists usually use the mark-and-catch method to judge how many animals there are in a population without hurting them or messing up their homes. The following experiment (实验) shows how the mark-and-catch method works.How many beans are there? You’ll need: You’ll follow: 1. Take a handful of beans out of the jar and put them in the bowl. Mark all the beans in the bowl with a pencil. 2. Pour the rest of the beans in the jar into the bowl with the marked beans. Mix beans for 3 minutes. 3. Take a handful of beans from the bowl and put them on the table. Count how many there are and how many are marked. 4. Divide the number of beans you marked by that number. The final number is a good estimate (估计) of how many beans were in the jar. Though this method only gives the closest number, it takes much less time. You can check it by counting all the beans. 1．How does the science poster begin? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By stating a problem. 2．What is the pencil used for in the experiment? A．Noting the steps. B．Marking the beans. C．Recording the numbers. 3．When should beans be mixed? A．Before counting them. B．While taking them out.

You can hardly catch every single one or just guess the possible answer, right?”提出了“如何估算动物种群数量”这一科学问题，因此是“By stating a problem（提出问题）”开篇。 2．实验步骤1明确说明“Mark all the beans in the bowl with a pencil.”，即铅笔的作用是Marking the beans（标记豆子），为后续重捕计数做准备。 3．实验步骤2为“Pour the rest of the beans in the jar into the bowl with the marked beans. Mix beans for 3minutes.”，步骤3才是“Take a handful of beans from the bowl...Count how many there are...”，说明Mix beans发生在计数之前（Before counting them） 4．文章最后一段提到“Though this method only gives the closest number, it takes much less time.”，直接点明该方法的优势是It saves much time（节省大量时间），而非给出精确数字或改变动物习性。 5．文章开头介绍了标记重捕法的用途是“judge how many animals there are in a population”，并通过实验演示该方法的操作，目的是To introduce a way to find out population size.（介绍一种估算种群数量的方法），而非对比动物或展示实验结果。 Passage 7 （2026·山西晋城·二模） Science SectionMental Ability It’s commonly believed that people achieve their best mental ability (心智能力) in their 20s.

Every year, a magazine comes out with a list of the year’s best inventions. These inventions can be high-tech gadgets (小装置) , fun toys, or cool games. They’re all made to make our lives easier and more fun. This year, we’ve picked three really cool inventions to share with you. Which one do you think is the most amazing? Figure 03Imagine having a robot that can help you do housework. That’s exactly what Figure 03 is for. Created by a top robotics company, Figure 03 can already do some tasks, such as folding clothes and organizing things. Figure 03 has good tools and uses AI technology to help it move around. Although Figure 03 can finish many tasks by itself, it still needs a little help from humans. For example, people have to start the washing machine first. If the robot drops something, people need to pick it up. Wind-Borne Systems AtlasKnowing what the weather will be like ahead of time is really important to keep people safe. But sometimes, the weather forecasts (预报) we get aren’t totally right. That’s where Wind-Borne Systems Atlas comes in. With weather balloons that last a long time, it can tell us weather conditions. Each balloon has special sensors (传感器)   that can get information on temperature, wind speed, and humidity (湿度) . This information is then sent to a central AI model. The AI model looks at the information and gives us more exact weather forecasts. Smart Plant Care ToolIf you love plants but find it hard to keep them alive, the Smart Plant Care Tool is here to help. It’s perfect for busy students or workers. It keeps an eye on the soil’s wetness, sunlight, and temperature all the time. The tool has sensors that can tell when your plant needs water, more sunlight, or a change in temperature. If it finds a problem like the plant being too dry or not getting enough sun, it will send a message to your phone through a special app. The app also gives useful advice on watering and tells when to add plant food. 1．What can Figure 03 do? A．Start the washing machine. B．Pick up things it has dropped. C．Fold clothes and organize things. 2．How does Wind-Borne Systems Atlas get exact weather forecasts? A．It uses AI technology to take photos of clouds. B．It uses balloons with sensors and an AI model. C．It collects information from old weather records. 3．Why is the Smart Plant Care Tool helpful for busy people? A．It can water the plants by itself. B．It makes plants grow faster without sunlight. C．It tells users when to care for plants by sending a message to the phone. 4．What do the three inventions have in common? A．They all need help from humans. B．They all use AI or sensors to work. C．They are all created by top companies. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To share inventions that make our lives easier and more fun. B．To introduce how AI can help to deal with problems quickly. C．To advise people to free themselves from housework and other busy work. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一个杂志评选出来的其中三项很酷的发明，包括能做家务的机器人Figure 03、可提供更精准天气预报的Wind-Borne Systems Atlas、能照顾植物的Smart Plant Care Tool。这些发明体现了科技让生活更便利的价值。 1．根据“Figure 03”所在栏中第三句“Created by a top robotics company, Figure 03 can already do some tasks, such as folding clothes and organizing things.”可知，Figure 03可以做一些比如折叠衣服和整理物品的任务。 2．根据“Wind-Borne Systems Atlas”所在栏中最后四句“With weather balloons that last a long time, it can tell us weather conditions.

He came to Taiyuan to study computer science last year. After one and a half years of living and studying here, he has really fallen in love with this city. At first, he was surprised by everything in the city. Near his school, there was a small shop. It sold drinks, snacks, rice, oil, and even hot food like sweet potatoes and dumplings. Later, he found that such shops are everywhere. He thought it was very convenient for people. Another thing that impressed him was mobile payment. When he first arrived, he did not have a Chinese bank card, so he used cash. But soon he noticed that almost everyone paid with their phones. People used it for meals, subways, bikes, and online shopping. Even small street stalls (摊贩) took mobile payment. Now, Simo is used to paying with his phone too. Simo loves the city’s beauty. He enjoys riding a bike through the streets. Every few blocks, he finds a park or a small garden where people relax. It makes the city peaceful. At night, he enjoys walking around the city. He likes to take photos when the colorful lights are on. Besides, he is also interested in ancient Chinese buildings. He has visited the Jinci Museum several times. Now Simo has many Chinese friends.

Nong Jiagui, a 60-year-old teacher, stands in the playground watching 13 children play. His eyes are full of warmth. In 1986, 20-year-old Nong came to this village to teach the children there. Back then, people called it “Mafeng Village”. At first, he felt nervous and wanted to leave. But the children’s eyes showed they longed for knowledge. He decided to stay there. The school was just a small room with old furniture (家具) like desks and chairs. Nong was the only teacher. He taught all subjects to 12 students of different ages. He created a special way to teach them at the same time. Life was hard there, and his own family worried about him very much. Sometimes he wanted to leave. But each time, the children’s faces stopped him. One student had never been to school on time. He had to take care of cows before coming to school. But Nong never got angry. Over the 40 years, Nong has taught 126 students. Some of them went to college and did different kinds of jobs. Some became teachers, doctors, and police officers. His students never forget him. They send messages on holidays and visit him when they can. Nong is going to retire (退休) this year. But a former student of his, Yang Suqin, has come back to teach at Luosongdi Village. “My teacher gave his whole life to these children,” she said. “Now it’s my turn.” 1．Why did Nong come to the village in 1986?

But the children’s eyes showed they longed for knowledge. He decided to stay there.”可知，农老师一开始想离开，但孩子们渴望知识的眼神让他决定留下，这里“longed for”意为“渴望”，与选项A“Wanted something very much”意思最接近。 3．根据全文可知，农老师在艰苦条件下坚守40年，体现了他的责任感；面对因放牛迟到的学生从不生气，体现了他的善良。选项C“Kind and responsible.”符合题意。 4．文中第一段提到他 60 岁；第二段提到他留下的原因是孩子们渴望知识；第五段提到他教过126名学生。文中未提及他的教育背景。因此正确组合是②③④。 5．本文是介绍乡村教师坚守教书育人的人物报道，最可能刊登在报纸上。 Passage 3 （2026·山西吕梁·二模）In a small village in Wugang, Hunan, a 15-year-old boy named Liu Kaiming has amazed everyone. He built his own electric car with just 800 yuan of his pocket money! Liu lives with his grandmother. His father passed away when he was only 2, and his mother left. Life is not easy, but that never stopped him from following his interest in machines. When Liu was 7, other kids were playing with toys, but he liked to take toys apart to see how they worked. “I just wanted to know what was inside and how they moved,” he said. Now, he is famous in his village as a “little mechanic”. If someone’s cooker or washing machine breaks, they call Liu. Liu’s dream was to have a car, but cars are expensive. So he decided to build one himself. He bought a motor (马达) , tires, and a controller from second-hand markets. He used his pocket money to buy tools. There was no teacher to help him, so he learned from online videos. “ ________ The left front wheel was not straight, and the car always turned left, ” Liu said. “I had to cut it off and do it again.” After two and a half months, his first car finally hit the road! Liu also cares about his grandmother. Before going to school in the city, he set up four cameras at home so he could talk to her anytime. Now, Liu dreams of studying technology in college and building better machines. His story shows that with interest and hard work, young people can create amazing things. 1．Why has the 15-year-old boy amazed everyone? A．Because of his kindness. B．Because of his invention. C．Because of his poor life. 2．Which can best explain the underlined word “mechanic”? A．A person who likes toys. B．A person who is very famous.

I had to cut it off and do it again”可知，造车过程中遇到了困难，因此空格处应填入“Building the car is not easy”。 4．由第四段“Liu’s dream was to have a car... he decided to build one himself”以及第五段他遇到困难（车轮不直）后“I had to cut it off and do it again”，最终“his first car finally hit the road”可知，他追随造车的梦想，克服困难，付出了巨大努力，最终成功造出了汽车，因此C项正确。由第二段“His father passed away when he was only 2, and his mother left. Life is not easy”可知，刘凯明的父亲去世、母亲离开，他与祖母一起生活，生活并不容易，文中并未提及家人对他的梦想给予支持，因此A项错误；由第四段“There was no teacher to help him, so he learned from online videos”可知，没有人教他，他是通过网上视频自学的，并非在学校学到的，因此B项错误。 5．本文讲述少年克服困难、自制汽车的励志故事，因此最可能出现在报纸的“励志故事”板块。 Passage 4 （2026·山西晋中·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 Yang Changqin, a 36-year-old woman, is now a master of Chishui bamboo weaving (竹编).

The idea came to him after he spent a summer holiday at his grandfather’s farm and saw how difficult it was for older people to harvest (收获) peaches safely. “My grandfather is over 70, and I noticed he often had to climb ladders (梯子) and stayed there for hours, which was not only tiring but also risky,” Li explained. “I wanted to create something that could reduce his working hours and make the job safer.” With support from his science teacher, Zhang Wei, Li spent ten months developing a first model. The model uses lightweight materials and a simple machine arm that can be directed using a hand-held controller. It is fitted with soft holders to avoid damaging (损害) fruit, and a small screen shows data through a color-sensing camera. During the design and assembly (组装) process, Li met several difficulties. Getting small motors (发动机) and building a support were among the biggest challenges. “At one point, the electric line kept shorting, and I had to re-solder (重新焊接) it many times,” he recalled. “I also redesigned the holder three times to make sure it wouldn’t hurt the peaches.” When Li showed the machine to his grandfather, the elderly man was very happy and offered some advice. He suggested adding a shoulder band to free up the user’s hands when moving between trees. “That advice was very valuable. It made me realize an invention isn’t complete until it fits the real needs of its users,” said Li. Though the machine still needs improvements—such as longer battery life and lower production costs—his teacher, Zhang, praised Li’s new and clever thinking and his desire to contribute to rural communities. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The machine. B．The orchard. C．The fruit. 2．How many challenges did Li meet during the invention process? A．5. B．4.

Some plastic is so strong that it takes more than 400 years to break down before returning safely to the environment. How can we solve this problem? Scientists around the world are working on it. One solution comes from a special kind of bacteria (细菌). Scientists have known that a kind of bacteria grows on plastic in wastewater and rivers. But no one was sure what it was doing there. A new study finally worked it out. The bacteria are breaking down the plastic for food. First, this kind of bacteria turns the plastic into pieces. These pieces are still dangerous to the environment, because animals can accidentally swallow them. Luckily, the bacteria then make an enzyme (酶) to break the plastic down even more. Finally, the bacteria eat the carbon atoms (碳原子) produced by the broken-down plastic. The bacteria are much too small for us to see. At the same time, they are eating the plastic so slowly that they can’t keep up with all the plastic in the world. “We will work on how to use the same ways to break down plastic faster,” says a scientist. Fighting plastic pollution needs everyone’s help. For now, we’re one step closer to clear rivers. And it’s all thanks to some helpful, hungry bacteria. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By showing a fact. B．By explaining a word. C．By giving an example. 2．What does this kind of bacteria do? A．It kills animals. B．It feeds on plastic. C．It pollutes the water. 3．Which can best explain the underlined word “swallow”? A．Smell. B．Eat. C．Touch. 4．What will scientists do to break down plastic faster? A．They will turn plastic into animals’ food. B．They will stop the bacteria from growing. C．They will learn from nature to find solutions. 5．What’s the best title of this text? A．Small Thing, Big Helper B．Old River, New Discovery C．Clear Water, Good Influence 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了科学家发现的一种能够分解塑料的细菌，它们以塑料为食，将塑料分解成碳原子并吸收。虽然分解速度很慢，但为未来解决塑料污染问题提供了新思路。 【详解】1．由第一段“Plastic pollution is a problem... it takes more than 400 years to break down”可知，作者通过陈述一个事实（塑料污染问题严重）来引入话题。 2．由第二段“The bacteria are breaking down the plastic for food”和第三段“the bacteria eat the carbon atoms produced by the broken-down plastic”可知，这种细菌以塑料为食。 3．由第三段“animals can accidentally swallow them”可知，动物可能会误食这些塑料碎片，因此“swallow”意为“吃/吞下”。 4．由第四段“We will work on how to use the same ways to break down plastic faster”可知，科学家将向大自然学习，找到更快分解塑料的方法。 5．全文介绍了微小的细菌能够帮助分解塑料、解决污染问题，因此最佳标题为“Small Thing, Big Helper”（小东西，大帮手）。 Passage 2 （2026·山西晋中·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A，B，C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AI is used in many ways to make our lives better. AI can help teachers by giving special lessons to students based on their learning speed and style. In our homes, smart speakers and home assistants can control lights, play music, and even tell us the weather. However, AI also brings problems like disinformation. Renee from Stanford Internet Observatory says, “Social media made spreading false news cheap, and AI makes it even cheaper.” Tools like GPT-4 can easily make lots of misleading news to fool people. AI takes the cost of spreading to zero. And AI can produce more than text. OpenAI, the American company behind GPT-4, has developed a similar tool, Voice Engine, which can clone (克隆) any voice from a 3-second clip (片段) and no one can find the difference. Similarly, Sora, from OpenAI, can produce surprisingly realistic videos of up to a minute according to the given text. OpenAI has not released (发布) Sora to the public, because it could be used to create disinformation. Though all of this is worrying, not all parts of the technology are bad. AI can be used for fighting disinformation. Anyway, it’s time to think about how we use AI. We need to make sure to use it responsibly and for the benefit of all people. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic at the beginning? A．By giving examples. B．By telling a story. C．By comparing facts. 2．What does the underlined word “disinformation” mean? A．True information that is shared to help people learn new things. B．Useful information that is spread quickly through social media. C．Misleading information that is created on purpose to trick people. 3．What can we know about Voice Engine according to the passage? A．It is produced before GPT-4. B．It’s a tool that can clone any voice. C．It can produce videos of one minute. 4．Which is closest to the writer’s attitude (态度) towards AI? A．AI is very useful in our daily life. B．The future of the AI is really bright. C．People should make good use of AI. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了AI给生活带来便利的同时也带来了制造虚假信息等问题，并呼吁人们负责任地善用AI。 【详解】1．第一段列举了AI在生活中的应用：“AI can help teachers…smart speakers and home assistants can control lights...”，这表明作者是通过举例子的方式来引出话题。 2．第二段说明了AI带来的问题：“…made spreading false news cheap…”以及“Tools like GPT-4 can easily make lots of misleading news to fool people.”，由此可推断出“disinformation”意为“虚假信息”，即为欺骗人们而故意制造的误导性信息。 3．第三段指出了Voice Engine的功能：“…Voice Engine, which can clone any voice from a 3-second clip…”，这直接说明Voice Engine是一个能够克隆任何声音的工具。 4．最后一段指出了作者的态度：“We need to make sure to use it responsibly and for the benefit of all people.”，说明作者认为人们应当好好利用AI来造福全人类。 5．文章第一段引出AI话题，第二至四段分别举例说明AI在制造虚假信息方面的问题，最后一段进行总结反思，全文呈现“总—分—总”的结构，图示B准确反映了这一篇章结构。 Passage 3 （2026·山西阳泉·二模） Chinese robots can do plenty of different things. They are now shining in real marathons! On April 19, 2026, the 2nd E-Town half-marathon was held in Beijing. It is a great way to test the robots in a different situation. This helps engineers make them better and encourages companies to develop new robot technologies. The first traffic robot in Beijing, named “Tianyi”, started its duties during this race. Tianyi completed its first task—to guide runners using clear hand gestures (手势) and a friendly voice. This robot can now direct traffic at crossings and teach people about basic traffic rules. Soon, it will answer common questions. Another robot named “Flash” did something amazing during this marathon. It finished the race in just 50 minutes and 26 seconds, and even broke the human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds. This is a big change from last year’s first race. Back then, the winning robot, “Tiangong Ultra”, took more than 2 hours to finish. In that race, most robots just tried to complete the race without falling down. But this year, the robots were built to run much faster. China is working hard to become a leader in new technologies. With the support of the government, many companies turn their laboratory ideas into real products. This shows how much the technology is improving and how fast China’s robot industry is growing. 1．Why was the Beijing E-Town half-marathon held? A．To show the advantages of robots. B．To check the robots in a new field. C．To get robots to compete with humans. 2．During the marathon, what did the robot “Tianyi” work as? A．A runner. B．An engineer. C．A policeman. 3．How long did it take “Flash” to finish the race? A．More than 120 minutes. B．50 minutes and 26 seconds. C．57 minutes and 20 seconds. 4．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Ways to develop the robot industry. B．Achievements of China’s robot industry. C．Chinese people’s love for robot industry. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了在北京举办的E-Town半程马拉松中，多款机器人展现出的出色表现，以此体现中国机器人产业在技术应用与发展上的快速进步。 【详解】1．第一段指出：“It is a great way to test the robots in a different situation.”，这直接说明举办北京E-Town半程马拉松，是为了在新的场景中测试机器。 2．第二段说明：“The first traffic robot in Beijing, named ‘Tianyi’, started its duties during this race. Tianyi completed its first task—to guide runners using clear hand gestures and a friendly voice.”，引导跑者、指挥交通的工作与交警的职责一致，因此“天宜”在马拉松中扮演了类似交警的角色。 3．第三段明确提到：“It finished the race in just 50 minutes and 26 seconds, and even broke the human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds.”，这直接说明机器人“Flash”完成比赛用时50分26秒。 4．文章结构为：第一段总述中国机器人在马拉松中亮相的背景与意义；第二、三段分别介绍了两款机器人在本次马拉松中的不同表现；第四段总结中国机器人产业的发展，属于“ —分—总”结构，对应选项A的结构图示。 5．全文通过介绍两款机器人在马拉松中的亮眼表现、与去年比赛的对比，以及中国企业将实验室想法转化为实际产品的进展，展现了中国机器人产业的进步与成就，因此文章主要讲述的是中国机器人产业的成果。 Passage 4 （2026·山西阳泉·二模） In 1902, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott saw many big black-and-white birds at Ross Island, Antarctica (南极洲罗斯岛). It was the first home of emperor penguins (帝企鹅) ever found. Now, only 124 years after that place was discovered, emperor penguins have been listed as endangered wild animals. What makes them in such danger? Emperor penguins rely on “fast” ice—sea ice strongly connected to the land—for nine months of the year. It’s where the little penguins are born and grow until they have waterproof feathers (防水羽毛). It’s also a safe place for adults to moult (脱毛) every year. They stay on the ice while their swimming feathers grow back. But global warming has led to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, the whole area can fall into the water. The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out. Even if some penguins get out of the water, they’re completely wet and will freeze to death. The decrease in Antarctic sea ice has put emperor penguins in great danger. Between 2009 and 2018, the number of emperor penguins fell by 10%. Scientists say they could die out by the end of this century—unless we take action now. To better protect them, we must stop burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) as they produce a large amount of CO2. The sad story of emperor penguins is a clear warning: A warming world cannot be saved tomorrow. We must act now before it’s too late. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing endangered wild animals. B．By telling emperor penguins’ past and present. C．By comparing emperor penguins to other animals. 2．Why do emperor penguins need “fast” ice? A．To swim in the water safely. B．To travel to Ross Island, Antarctica. C．To raise babies and change feathers. 3．Which of the following will happen when sea ice breaks up early? A．Adult penguins will grow new feathers. B．Little penguins will be in danger in water. C．Young penguins will learn to swim faster. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Act now to save emperor penguins. B．Less sea ice puts penguins in great danger. C．Emperor penguins may die out this century. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文讲述全球变暖造成南极海冰变少，帝企鹅生存岌岌可危，呼吁人类立刻行动保护它们。 【详解】1．文章开头讲述1902年首次发现帝企鹅栖息地(过去)，如今124年后它们成为濒危动物(现在)，是用过去和现状开篇。 2．根据第二段第二、三句“It’s where the little penguins are born and grow... It’s also a safe place for adults to moult…”可知，坚冰用来繁育幼崽、成年企鹅换羽毛的。 3．根据第三段“When sea ice breaks up early...The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out...freeze to death.”可知，海冰过早破裂时，整个区域可能会掉入水中，未完全长大的小企鹅可能在水中有危险。 4．文章第一段是总起段：帝企鹅濒危。第二至四段是分述段：分别讲了企鹅依赖海冰生存；全球变暖海冰减少；企鹅数量下降濒临灭绝。第五段是总结段：警示人类立刻行动。所以文章是“总—分—总”结构，对应C的树形结构。 5．根据最后一段最后一句“We must act now before it’s too late.”可知，本文核心是呼吁立刻行动拯救帝企鹅。 Passage 5 （2026·山西忻州·二模）Do you often look up at the night sky? You can’t see many stars. Why? Well, that may be because of light pollution. Light pollution happens when too much artificial light (人造光) makes the night sky too bright. Picture this: You’re trying to look at fireflies in a forest one night, but someone turns on a super-bright flashlight, making it hard to see these tiny lights.

That’s because he spent most of his time painting Chinese ink(墨水) and wash paintings quietly in the study, and seldom communicated with her. One rainy weekend, Lina walked into the study and saw him looking at a half-finished bamboo painting. “Can I learn to paint too, Grandpa?” she asked nervously. Grandpa was surprised and agreed. At first, Lina was not good with the brush. She even dropped ink on the paper and felt a bit embarrassed. But Grandpa didn’t mind. He taught Lina how to hold the brush gently. Every evening, Lina practiced with great interest. She paid close attention and drew each line carefully. She checked her work again and again, hoping to make every line just right. Sometimes, Grandpa shared different stories about how ancient artists used ink paintings to show their love for nature. Lina listened quietly, feeling moved by each story. As time went by, Lina found that every line could send her messages and feelings. A warm feeling grew inside her. Weeks later, Lina finished her first bamboo painting. Its lines were still a little wobbly( 不稳的),but the bamboo looked bright and lively. Grandpa hung it next to his own work on the wall. “You’ve got the heart of bamboo—soft but strong,” he said. Lina felt so proud that her eyes lit up. Later, Lina fell in love with Chinese ink and wash painting. At the same time, the relationship between her and Grandpa also grew closer. Now she knows that traditional culture isn’t just old art, but a warm line that ties people’s hearts together. 1．Why did Lina feel distant from her grandpa at first?

It showed a special moment at Beijing Capital Airport. US President Donald Trump arrived on his plane—“Air Force One”. The large plane moved slowly on the airport ground. Its four engines made a very loud noise and blew out hot air. The ground even shook a little. But right next to the plane, a young Chinese soldier stood quietly. He was only a few meters away from the plane. The noise was quite loud, and the wind was very strong. However, the soldier did not move at all. He did not blink (眨眼) his eyes or step back. He stood as straight as a tree. Many foreign reporters were there. One of them took a video and posted it online. The video quickly got millions of views. A US reporter named Jon Michael Raasch wrote, “The engines were roaring loud, but this man didn’t even blink. We respect the spirit and discipline (纪律) of Chinese soldiers.” Many foreign Internet users were surprised. They left words like, “Is he a robot?” “This is amazing!” “How can a man be so calm?” “Chinese soldiers are truly great.” In fact, being a member of the Chinese military honor guard is not easy. These soldiers train very hard. They learn to stand still in strong wind, heavy rain, and loud noise. They practice not blinking for a very long time. Their strong will and discipline come from thousands of hours of training. That night, the young soldier did not say a word. But his straight back and steady (坚定的) eyes told the world: This is the spirit of Chinese soldiers. This is the confidence of China. 1．Why did the video become popular online? A．Because Donald Trump came to China. B．Because the Chinese soldier stood still. C．Because Chinese technology is amazing. 2．Who took the video of this soldier? A．A foreign reporter. B．Another soldier. C．An Internet user. 3．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A．The popularity of the video. B．The spirit of Chinese people. C．Foreigners’ ideas about the soldier. 4．Which phrase can best describe the training of those soldiers? A．Rain or shine. B．Hard and boring. C．Easy and exciting. 5．What does the passage mainly want to show? A．The influence of China on the world. B．The strong spirit of Chinese soldiers. C．The importance of China-US meeting.

The plane’s captain (机长) has nearly 20 years of flying experience. For him, flying the C919 was quite special. Thanks to the new and high-quality parts made in China, the plane was very easy to control and could fly smoothly even when there was some wind.

When the C919 landed in Hefei, all the passengers got off with big smiles. They took photos in front of the plane and recorded videos to keep this special moment. Some said they would never forget this flight. For them, it was not just a trip, but a beautiful memory to treasure. From Guangzhou to Hefei, this first flight marked a new step for the C919.

In fact, it is not a kind of unusual talent, but a special way of living and growing. My journey started at an early age. In kindergarten, my teacher gave me a pair of child-safe scissors. The paper I cut looked as if it had been bitten (咬)by a mouse. My teacher shook her head and told me to “practice harder”. I began to realize that most of the things in the world were designed for right-handed people. Then came school seats with a writing board on the right. Every time I wrote, I had to turn my body with my other arm hanging in the air. So my handwriting was always messy. Later, I watched some videos online to learn the correct sitting and pen-holding postures (姿势) for left-handed people. Day by day, my handwriting became clear and beautiful. My grandmother once tried to “fix” me by tying my left hand behind my back. “Use your right,” she would say. I tried and soon dropped a bowl of soup on the floor. Grandma gave up and said, “Maybe she’s special.” Many researchers believe that left-handed people are more creative and better at problem-solving. After dealing with small things well, like door handles (把手) and table tennis rackets, I felt more confident. Being left-handed means more than just using my left hand. It teaches me to think differently and face challenges with a smile. I learn to find my own ways to solve problems and get used to everyday life. 1．Why did the writer’s paper-cut look terrible? A．Because she didn’t practice hard. B．Because it was bitten by a mouse. C．Because the scissors didn’t suit her. 2．How did the writer improve her handwriting? A．By taking a handwriting class. B．By asking her deskmate for help. C．By watching some videos online. 3．What does the writer’s grandma mean by “Maybe she’s special”? A．She has a special skill. B．It’s difficult to change her habit. C．More patience should be given to her. 4．What did being left-handed bring to the writer? A．Talent, success and happiness. B．Energy, interest and friendship. C．Creativity, confidence and courage. 5．Which is the best title for the passage? A．My Special Growing Experience B．Some Social Skills in Everyday Life C．The Importance of Thinking Differently 阅读理解之说明文 Passage 1 （2026·山西长治·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Volunteering is a meaningful activity.

The amazing technique (技艺) in Sichuan Opera is used to express different feelings and characters through the actors’ face masks (面具). There are over 300 kinds of local operas in China. Sichuan Opera is one of the oldest forms of Chinese opera. As the most interesting opera form from Southwest China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing and some areas of Yunnan and Guizhou. The opera has three special techniques—changing faces, spitting (吐) fire, and rolling lights. Face changing is the most famous one. It is an important intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Only a few actors have picked up this technique. They know how to change the face masks magically. As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again. Face changing started about 300 years ago. In the beginning, opera actors changed the color of their faces by blowing into a bowl of red, black or gold powder (粉末). The powder would stick to their oiled skin quickly. In another way, actors would cover their faces with colored paste (糊状物) hidden in their hands. By the 1920s, opera actors began using masks made of oiled paper. They could peel them one after another faster. At present, the actors use full-face painted silk masks. They are so thin that actors can even change about 10 masks in 20 seconds. As the materials of the masks are changing, we can enjoy more kinds of masks and they are much thinner than before. Sichuan Opera keeps developing because of new technologies. 1．What is face changing used for in Sichuan Opera? A．Telling stories in a creative way. B．Expressing different feelings and characters. C．Showing the performers’ amazing techniques. 2．Where is face changing popular in China? A．In Southwest China. B．In Northwest China. C．In Southeast China. 3．How do opera actors perform face changing? A．By doing magical tricks. B．By moving their arms and heads. C．By spitting fire and rolling lights. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Face changing became popular 300 years ago. B．It’s easy for Sichuan people to learn face changing. C．Silk masks increase the speed of face changing. 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．The process of face changing. B．The popularity of face changing. C．The introduction of face changing. Passage 4 （2026·山西吕梁·二模） Famous Old Courtyards in Shanxi There are many old courtyards in Shanxi. Among them, the Wang Family Courtyard and the Qiao Family Courtyard are the most famous. They are in Lingshi County and Qixian County of Shanxi. These courtyards show beautiful ancient Chinese buildings and the special culture of Shanxi’s merchants (商人). The Wang Family Courtyard is called “the First Courtyard under Heaven”. It is very large—more than 250, 000 square meters. The Wang family built and expanded (扩建) it for about 300 years during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The yards are arranged (排列) neatly, following traditional Chinese ideas. Every part has nice carvings (雕刻) on wood, stone and bricks. These carvings tell stories about good family rules and happy life. Some parts are cave-style houses, which fit the local land well. The Qiao Family Courtyard covers 8, 724 square meters. It became famous because of the film Raise the Red Lantern. There are 6 main yards and 19 small yards in it. They are connected by walkways. Unlike the Wang Family Courtyard’s big size, the Qiao Family Courtyard is smaller and neater and suitable for family life. Both courtyards are not just old houses. They tell us about Shanxi’s merchants-their ideas of honesty, saving money and loving family. Today, visitors still love these beautiful old buildings, as they keep a part of China’s old culture alive. 1．What do the two courtyards mainly show? A．Ancient city culture.

On that morning, nearly 1,000 Tai Chi lovers in Chenjiagou dressed in uniforms and practiced together. The celebration also took place in foreign countries. In Nigeria, Austria, France and Hungary, Tai Chi lovers also practiced the same movements in the morning. “Tai Chi is not just a sport.

These inventions can be high-tech gadgets (小装置) , fun toys, or cool games. They’re all made to make our lives easier and more fun. This year, we’ve picked three really cool inventions to share with you. Which one do you think is the most amazing? Figure 03 Imagine having a robot that can help you do housework. That’s exactly what Figure 03 is for. Created by a top robotics company, Figure 03 can already do some tasks, such as folding clothes and organizing things. Figure 03 has good tools and uses AI technology to help it move around. Although Figure 03 can finish many tasks by itself, it still needs a little help from humans. For example, people have to start the washing machine first. If the robot drops something, people need to pick it up. Wind-Borne Systems Atlas Knowing what the weather will be like ahead of time is really important to keep people safe. But sometimes, the weather forecasts (预报) we get aren’t totally right. That’s where Wind-Borne Systems Atlas comes in. With weather balloons that last a long time, it can tell us weather conditions. Each balloon has special sensors (传感器)   that can get information on temperature, wind speed, and humidity (湿度) . This information is then sent to a central AI model. The AI model looks at the information and gives us more exact weather forecasts. Smart Plant Care Tool If you love plants but find it hard to keep them alive, the Smart Plant Care Tool is here to help. It’s perfect for busy students or workers. It keeps an eye on the soil’s wetness, sunlight, and temperature all the time. The tool has sensors that can tell when your plant needs water, more sunlight, or a change in temperature. If it finds a problem like the plant being too dry or not getting enough sun, it will send a message to your phone through a special app. The app also gives useful advice on watering and tells when to add plant food. 1．What can Figure 03 do? A．Start the washing machine. B．Pick up things it has dropped. C．Fold clothes and organize things. 2．How does Wind-Borne Systems Atlas get exact weather forecasts? A．It uses AI technology to take photos of clouds. B．It uses balloons with sensors and an AI model. C．It collects information from old weather records. 3．Why is the Smart Plant Care Tool helpful for busy people? A．It can water the plants by itself. B．It makes plants grow faster without sunlight. C．It tells users when to care for plants by sending a message to the phone. 4．What do the three inventions have in common? A．They all need help from humans. B．They all use AI or sensors to work. C．They are all created by top companies. 5．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To share inventions that make our lives easier and more fun. B．To introduce how AI can help to deal with problems quickly. C．To advise people to free themselves from housework and other busy work. Passage 7 （2026·山西临汾·三模） Join Our Book Review Competition!

She turned a childhood hobby into a lifelong job. Yang showed great interest in making handmade things at an early age. She always watched her mom make clothes. She could learn it after watching just twice. When she grew up, she tried different jobs for a living before finally discovering her true interest. At the age of 18, she gave up her work as a teacher and turned to learning the traditional bamboo weaving art. At the very beginning, she failed to control the tool well and often hurt her fingers. However, she kept practicing day by day and mastered the skill. Gradually, this skill became second nature to her. She could do it without thinking. Later, Yang brought new ideas to this old art. She used 3D weaving skills and modern design to make her works cooler. These works, such as bamboo paintings, handbags and small bamboo lamps, soon won worldwide popularity. As her business grew, she set up training classes to teach the local people skills, offered them jobs and helped sell their works online. With her help, many families started living a better life.

He shared his reading stories online on the fourth week of April, 2026. “Books help you see the world as it is, but they also let you escape (逃跑) from it,” Chen said. “More importantly, they comfort me during difficult times.” Chen grew up with few books, but he fell in love with reading at a young age. The first book he read was Romance of the Three Kingdoms (《三国演义》) . At the beginning of every passage, there was a hand-drawn map showing where the story took place. “The mountains and rivers on the map interested me. It inspired my love for geography.” Later in his life, he travelled the mountains and rivers across China as he worked as a miner for 16 years. While working underground during the day, he read at night. He took up reading because life in the mining area was boring. He was thirsty to see new worlds beyond his life. However, reading helps feed Chen’s passion (热爱) for writing. “Reading and writing open doors for each other; they support and complete one another,” Chen said. In the dark tunnel (隧道) , he quickly wrote down his feelings on pieces of paper and even on dynamite (炸药) boxes. Today, Chen believes that reading is needed more than ever. “We are trapped (困住) on islands made from fragments (碎片) of information. To see the truth, we need deep reading,” Chen said. 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．Why Chen Nianxi is famous. B．How books changed Chen Nianxi.

C．Reading is more important than writing. 5．What does Chen advise people to do in the information age? A．Develop a habit of deep reading. B．Be brave to find the truth in daily life. C．Stay away from fragmented information. Passage 6（2026·山西朔州·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 Li Zihan, a 16-year-old student, has created an intelligent machine to help farmers pick fruits more easily. The idea came to him after he spent a summer holiday at his grandfather’s farm and saw how difficult it was for older people to harvest (收获) peaches safely. “My grandfather is over 70, and I noticed he often had to climb ladders (梯子) and stayed there for hours, which was not only tiring but also risky,” Li explained. “I wanted to create something that could reduce his working hours and make the job safer.” With support from his science teacher, Zhang Wei, Li spent ten months developing a first model. The model uses lightweight materials and a simple machine arm that can be directed using a hand-held controller. It is fitted with soft holders to avoid damaging (损害) fruit, and a small screen shows data through a color-sensing camera. During the design and assembly (组装) process, Li met several difficulties. Getting small motors (发动机) and building a support were among the biggest challenges. “At one point, the electric line kept shorting, and I had to re-solder (重新焊接) it many times,” he recalled. “I also redesigned the holder three times to make sure it wouldn’t hurt the peaches.” When Li showed the machine to his grandfather, the elderly man was very happy and offered some advice. He suggested adding a shoulder band to free up the user’s hands when moving between trees. “That advice was very valuable. It made me realize an invention isn’t complete until it fits the real needs of its users,” said Li. Though the machine still needs improvements—such as longer battery life and lower production costs—his teacher, Zhang, praised Li’s new and clever thinking and his desire to contribute to rural communities. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The machine. B．The orchard. C．The fruit. 2．How many challenges did Li meet during the invention process? A．5. B．4. C．3. 3．Put the following information into correct order according to the passage: a. Li had the idea to invent a machine to make harvesting easier for his grandfather. b. Li’s grandfather often got tired and faced risks while harvesting peaches. c. Li’s grandfather offered suggestions to improve the machine. d. Li spent nearly ten months building a model of the machine. e. Li kept on improving the machine better. A．a-b-d-c-e B．b-a-d-c-e C．b-a-c-d-e 4．What is Li Zihan like according to the passage? A．Hard-working, caring and creative. B．Happy, helpful and honest. C．Humorous, clever and friendly. 5．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．A Young Inventor’s Journey to Making a Useful Machine B．The Fruit-Harvesting Device: A Teen’s Invention for Farming C．A Teen’s Invention to Help His Grandfather’s Work Passage 7 （2026·山西临汾市·二模） 请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。 Lena Ford has been working in this area from a young age.

Some plastic is so strong that it takes more than 400 years to break down before returning safely to the environment. How can we solve this problem? Scientists around the world are working on it. One solution comes from a special kind of bacteria (细菌). Scientists have known that a kind of bacteria grows on plastic in wastewater and rivers. But no one was sure what it was doing there. A new study finally worked it out. The bacteria are breaking down the plastic for food. First, this kind of bacteria turns the plastic into pieces. These pieces are still dangerous to the environment, because animals can accidentally swallow them. Luckily, the bacteria then make an enzyme (酶) to break the plastic down even more. Finally, the bacteria eat the carbon atoms (碳原子) produced by the broken-down plastic. The bacteria are much too small for us to see. At the same time, they are eating the plastic so slowly that they can’t keep up with all the plastic in the world. “We will work on how to use the same ways to break down plastic faster,” says a scientist. Fighting plastic pollution needs everyone’s help. For now, we’re one step closer to clear rivers. And it’s all thanks to some helpful, hungry bacteria. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By showing a fact. B．By explaining a word. C．By giving an example. 2．What does this kind of bacteria do? A．It kills animals. B．It feeds on plastic. C．It pollutes the water. 3．Which can best explain the underlined word “swallow”? A．Smell. B．Eat. C．Touch. 4．What will scientists do to break down plastic faster? A．They will turn plastic into animals’ food. B．They will stop the bacteria from growing. C．They will learn from nature to find solutions. 5．What’s the best title of this text? A．Small Thing, Big Helper B．Old River, New Discovery C．Clear Water, Good Influence Passage 2 （2026·山西晋中·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A，B，C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 AI is used in many ways to make our lives better. AI can help teachers by giving special lessons to students based on their learning speed and style. In our homes, smart speakers and home assistants can control lights, play music, and even tell us the weather. However, AI also brings problems like disinformation. Renee from Stanford Internet Observatory says, “Social media made spreading false news cheap, and AI makes it even cheaper.” Tools like GPT-4 can easily make lots of misleading news to fool people. AI takes the cost of spreading to zero. And AI can produce more than text. OpenAI, the American company behind GPT-4, has developed a similar tool, Voice Engine, which can clone (克隆) any voice from a 3-second clip (片段) and no one can find the difference. Similarly, Sora, from OpenAI, can produce surprisingly realistic videos of up to a minute according to the given text. OpenAI has not released (发布) Sora to the public, because it could be used to create disinformation. Though all of this is worrying, not all parts of the technology are bad. AI can be used for fighting disinformation. Anyway, it’s time to think about how we use AI. We need to make sure to use it responsibly and for the benefit of all people. 1．How does the writer lead in the topic at the beginning? A．By giving examples. B．By telling a story. C．By comparing facts. 2．What does the underlined word “disinformation” mean? A．True information that is shared to help people learn new things. B．Useful information that is spread quickly through social media. C．Misleading information that is created on purpose to trick people. 3．What can we know about Voice Engine according to the passage? A．It is produced before GPT-4. B．It’s a tool that can clone any voice. C．It can produce videos of one minute. 4．Which is closest to the writer’s attitude (态度) towards AI? A．AI is very useful in our daily life. B．The future of the AI is really bright. C．People should make good use of AI. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A． B． C． Passage 3 （2026·山西阳泉·二模） Chinese robots can do plenty of different things. They are now shining in real marathons! On April 19, 2026, the 2nd E-Town half-marathon was held in Beijing. It is a great way to test the robots in a different situation. This helps engineers make them better and encourages companies to develop new robot technologies. The first traffic robot in Beijing, named “Tianyi”, started its duties during this race. Tianyi completed its first task—to guide runners using clear hand gestures (手势) and a friendly voice. This robot can now direct traffic at crossings and teach people about basic traffic rules. Soon, it will answer common questions. Another robot named “Flash” did something amazing during this marathon. It finished the race in just 50 minutes and 26 seconds, and even broke the human world record of 57 minutes and 20 seconds. This is a big change from last year’s first race. Back then, the winning robot, “Tiangong Ultra”, took more than 2 hours to finish. In that race, most robots just tried to complete the race without falling down. But this year, the robots were built to run much faster. China is working hard to become a leader in new technologies. With the support of the government, many companies turn their laboratory ideas into real products. This shows how much the technology is improving and how fast China’s robot industry is growing. 1．Why was the Beijing E-Town half-marathon held? A．To show the advantages of robots. B．To check the robots in a new field. C．To get robots to compete with humans. 2．During the marathon, what did the robot “Tianyi” work as? A．A runner. B．An engineer. C．A policeman. 3．How long did it take “Flash” to finish the race? A．More than 120 minutes. B．50 minutes and 26 seconds. C．57 minutes and 20 seconds. 4．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Ways to develop the robot industry. B．Achievements of China’s robot industry. C．Chinese people’s love for robot industry. Passage 4 （2026·山西阳泉·二模） In 1902, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott saw many big black-and-white birds at Ross Island, Antarctica (南极洲罗斯岛). It was the first home of emperor penguins (帝企鹅) ever found. Now, only 124 years after that place was discovered, emperor penguins have been listed as endangered wild animals. What makes them in such danger? Emperor penguins rely on “fast” ice—sea ice strongly connected to the land—for nine months of the year. It’s where the little penguins are born and grow until they have waterproof feathers (防水羽毛). It’s also a safe place for adults to moult (脱毛) every year. They stay on the ice while their swimming feathers grow back. But global warming has led to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, the whole area can fall into the water. The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out. Even if some penguins get out of the water, they’re completely wet and will freeze to death. The decrease in Antarctic sea ice has put emperor penguins in great danger. Between 2009 and 2018, the number of emperor penguins fell by 10%. Scientists say they could die out by the end of this century—unless we take action now. To better protect them, we must stop burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) as they produce a large amount of CO2. The sad story of emperor penguins is a clear warning: A warming world cannot be saved tomorrow. We must act now before it’s too late. 1．How does the writer begin the passage? A．By listing endangered wild animals. B．By telling emperor penguins’ past and present. C．By comparing emperor penguins to other animals. 2．Why do emperor penguins need “fast” ice? A．To swim in the water safely. B．To travel to Ross Island, Antarctica. C．To raise babies and change feathers. 3．Which of the following will happen when sea ice breaks up early? A．Adult penguins will grow new feathers. B．Little penguins will be in danger in water. C．Young penguins will learn to swim faster. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Act now to save emperor penguins. B．Less sea ice puts penguins in great danger. C．Emperor penguins may die out this century. Passage 5 （2026·山西忻州·二模）Do you often look up at the night sky? You can’t see many stars. Why? Well, that may be because of light pollution. Light pollution happens when too much artificial light (人造光) makes the night sky too bright. Picture this: You’re trying to look at fireflies in a forest one night, but someone turns on a super-bright flashlight, making it hard to see these tiny lights. That’s a bit like what light pollution does to your view of the stars. Light pollution is a problem for both humans and animals. The bright lights waste lots of energy, and they make it difficult for scientists to study the universe. What’s worse, light pollution makes animals like birds lose their way at night. Also, just like you need a dark room to sleep well at night, many animals do too. A bright living place at night is bad for their health. How can you help reduce light pollution? First of all, when you and your family use outdoor lights, you should keep the light from going up into the sky. And remember to turn off lights when you don’t need them. Every year, Dark Sky Week is held in April to help people learn about light pollution and teach them how to protect the night sky. During this time, people around the world take part in activities, and you can join them too! You can also talk to your friends, teachers, and family about light pollution. The more people know about it, the more they can help. Everyone can play a big part in fighting light pollution. Light pollution is a big problem, but you can make a real difference. 1．How does the writer explain light pollution better? A．By describing a common scene. B．By giving many scientific facts. C．By showing lots of people’s opinions. 2．Why is light pollution a problem for birds? A．Because bright lights are bad for their health. B．Because it makes them lose their way at night. C．Because they are unable to find a dark place to sleep. 3．What can we know from Paragraph 4? A．We must stop using outdoor lights. B．Activities in Dark Sky Week are really fun. C．It’s important to let more people know about light pollution. 4．What is the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②/③④/⑤ C．①②③/④/⑤ 5．Where can you read the passage? A． B． C． Passage 6 （2026·山西忻州·二模）Have you ever tried pear-syrup candy (梨膏糖) ? It is a tiny treat that carries both sweetness and health benefits. It tastes sweet and makes your throat feel better. Many people love it. Pear-syrup candy was first made more than a thousand years ago in China. Long before it became a snack, it was a traditional medicine to stop coughs and calm the throat. Its formula was simple but magical: pear juice, honey, and some herbs (药草) . It’s said that in the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng, a government officer, was known for his deep love for his mother. One day, his mother caught a bad cough. The doctors offered medicine, but it tasted so bad. So Wei Zheng tried something new. He mixed sweet pear syrup with herbs, and stirred (搅拌) it carefully over the fire until it became thick. It tasted sweet and pleasant! She had it every day and soon got better. Word spread quickly. People began making this “sweet medicine” for their families. In the Song Dynasty, pear-syrup candy became popular. Later in 1855, the first pear-syrup candy shop opened in Shanghai. Two others soon followed, and together they made the candy famous across China. Pear-syrup candy’s making process was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产) in 2021. Today, doctors no longer use pear-syrup candy as medicine, but it still stands for care and love in China. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By asking a question. B．By telling a story.

If words are the only thing you notice, then you may be missing part of the message! In daily life, people do not always say exactly what they mean. According to Albert Mehrabian’s 7-38-55 rule, when people express feelings, only 7% of the message comes from the actual words they say. A huge 38% comes from tone (语气) of voice. The largest part, 55% comes from body language, such as hand gestures (手势) and facial expressions. So how can people work out the true meaning behind someone’s words? We should pay more attention to how they speak—loud or soft, fast or slow, energetic or calm—than to what they say. If someone’s words say one thing but their tone and face say another, these signs can help us discover the actual meaning. For example, if someone says “I’m fine” but crosses their arms or looks away, they are probably hiding their true feelings. Words may open the conversation, but they do not always tell the whole story. Sometimes, the real message is hidden in a shaky voice, an embarrassing smile, or a sudden silence. Good communicators do not just take words at face value but read between the lines. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question. C．By introducing a saying. 2．Where does most of the message come from when people express feelings? A．Actual words. B．Tone of voice. C．Body language. 3．What can we infer (推断) from the example in Paragraph 3? A．We should listen to others carefully. B．It’s easy to judge a person by their words. C．People don’t often say things straight out. 4．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． 5．What does the passage mainly tell us? A．Ways to start a daily conversation. B．The importance of polite language. C．More than words in communication.

Passage 9 （2026·山西长治·二模）请阅读下面语篇，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 All aboard! Let’s take a ride on the world’s highest railway—the Qinghai-Tibet Railway (青藏铁路). Sit back and enjoy the journey. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime. We’re leaving Qinghai Station. The scenery (风景) along the way is among the wildest across China. Keep your eyes open as we race through this beautiful land. Before we begin our journey, let’s learn about this amazing railway. It's truly one of the great engineering wonders of the 21st century. When it was completed on July 1, 2006, the Tibet Railway set nine world records. As we travel higher, the air gets thinner and thinner. Soon there will only be 50 to 60 percent of the oxygen (氧气) we are used to breathing. But there is no need to worry. Each rail car has two separate oxygen systems. One system fills the train with oxygen at all times. And each passenger can also get a personal oxygen mask just like those used on planes. Here are a few more things to think about as our train leaves the station. The designers solved three main challenges when building this great railway. First, the high altitude (海拔) made the task difficult because there was not enough oxygen. Second, much of the railway runs across permafrost (冻土). Finally, the railway goes through some of the most important ecological areas in China. Great care was taken to minimize (减少到最低程度) its influence on nature. All three challenges were met, making our trip possible. All aboard! The train to Tibet is leaving in fifteen minutes. 1．Who is the writer of this passage most likely to be? A．An engineer. B．A guide. C．A driver. 2．What is special about the Qinghai-Tibet Railway? A．It is the world’s highest railway. B．It was built by the most engineers. C．It passes through areas with many wild animals. 3．Why can passengers still breathe normally on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway train? A．Because the train runs at a very low speed. B．Because the train has special oxygen systems. C．Because the train makes frequent stops for passengers to rest. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage about the designers of the railway? A．They built the railway only in one year. B．They thought about passengers’ safety the most. C．They cared a lot about environmental protection. 5．What is the best title of the passage? A．An Amazing Engineering Wonder B．A Railway with the Most Beautiful Scenery C．A Railway Connecting China to the World Passage 10 （2026·山西晋城·二模） Many people think writing for children is easier than writing for adults. But the best children’s writers and illustrators (插画家) know this is not true. Michael Rosen and Cai Gao won the 2026 Hans Christian Andersen Awards. They have spent their whole lives making books for young readers. Their work shows that children’s books can be just as deep and meaningful as any other books. Rosen’s writing not only makes children laugh but also teaches them about life. Chocolate Cake, for example, tells the funny story of a boy who sneaks downstairs at night to eat chocolate cake. It shows everyday life through a child‘s eyes. Rosen also writes about sad and hard things in life, but he does it with great care. In Michael Rosen’s Sad Book, he speaks openly about the death of his son. He teaches children that being honest about their feelings is brave, not weak. Like Rosen’s writing, Cai Gao’s pictures are beautiful and also make you think. Her picture book The Peach Blossom Spring takes children to a beautiful land painted in warm, soft colors. The book is based on a famous story by Tao Yuanming. It tells about a fisherman who finds a hidden village far away from the troubles of the outside world. But unlike Tao, Cai does not see this place as a dream we can’t reach. Instead, she shows it as something we can build. Through her beautiful pictures, she encourages children to create beauty and peace in their own lives. Children’s books are made for young readers, but their power is not small at all. Rosen and Cai remind us that the greatest ideas often come in the simplest forms. 1．How does the writer start the topic? A．By showing a common idea is wrong. B．By talking about two children’s writers. C．By talking about different kinds of books. 2．Why is Michael Rosen’s Sad Book special? A．It tells a funny story about food. B．It helps children face hard feelings. C．It is written in a child’s point of view. 3．What does Cai Gao want children to do? A．To find a hidden village far away. B．To build beauty and peace in life. C．To read more stories from ancient China. 4．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． 5．What can we know from this passage? A．How to write deep and meaningful stories. B．Children’s books are as deep as adult ones. C．The history of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
