One evening, Ben was doing his homework in his room. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise from the kitchen. He put down his pen and went to see what happened.
When he walked into the kitchen, he saw his grandma standing by the table. She was looking under a newspaper and moving things around. She looked worried.
“Grandma, what are you looking for?” Ben asked.
“I can’t find my glasses,” said Grandma. “I put them on the table a moment ago, but now they are gone. I need them to read my book.”
Ben decided to help. He looked under the table and on the chairs, but he didn’t see the glasses. Then he looked at Grandma and smiled.
“Grandma, they are on your head,” Ben said.
Grandma touched her head and laughed. “Oh dear! I am getting old. Thank you, Ben.”

Passage 2
(26·天津武清区河北屯·二模)
Nowadays, everyone has a “microphone” to share their world. A project called “Real Echo” recently interviewed three content (内容) creators to talk about the hidden rules behind a successful screen. The “Honest Creator”— Lin Tao
Lin Tao makes videos about school life. At first, he was so anxious (渴望) to get more “likes” that he used special filters (滤镜) to make the school food look much better than it really was. However, his classmates’ disappointed faces made him think deeply. “A creator should never sacrifice truth for popularity,” Lin Tao said. Now, he puts his heart into real stories. He has learned that the trust of the audience (观众) is far more valuable than a high number of “likes”.
The “History Researcher”— Jane
Jane is a college student who creates short videos about her city’s history. She discovered that the hardest part was not filming, but checking the facts. “I spent hours in the library to make sure every date was correct,” Jane explained. To her, history is a serious matter that should not be shared carelessly. She believes that providing correct information is the bottom line for anyone who wants to speak to the public.
The “Boundary (边界) Keeper” — Mr Zhao
Mr Zhao is a traveler who films his journeys. He noticed that some creators often film strangers without asking or share too much of their friends’ private lives just to win more viewers. Mr Zhao always follows a rule: respect people first, film second. “A camera can be a weapon (武器) if you don’t use it with kindness,” he said. He believes that a creator’s job is to provide light, not noise, and that starts with respecting others’ boundaries.

A.he wanted to show real stories B.the filters helped him get less “likes”

10.What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.How to become famous online. B.Making videos is difficult work.
C.Young people love watching short videos. D.Three creators share their rules for good content.

Passage 4
(26·天津武清区河北屯·二模)
Last summer, my grandpa invited me to help him grow vegetables in our backyard. At first, I was not interested. It was so hot that I preferred staying in the air-conditioned room to watch videos. However, Grandpa encouraged me with a smile, “Just try it for one week, Peter. You will find the magic of nature.”
So, we started our gardening journey. Every morning, we prepared the soil and planted seeds together. When we worked, Grandpa told me many stories about his childhood.

Although I was often tired and sweaty, I felt proud when I saw the small green shoots (嫩芽) growing.
One month later, we picked the first basket of tomatoes. I washed a big red one and shared it with Grandpa right in the garden. It tasted fresher and sweeter than any fruit from the store.

Passage 1
(26·天津西青区·二模)
Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable (稳定的) and help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize the traffic lights.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
36.Why do scientists develop the robot dog?
A.To help blind people. B.To improve AI technology.

Passage 3
(26·天津东丽区·二模)
In the far north, there is a beautiful natural light show called the northern lights. People travel thousands of miles to see it, but what exactly is it?
The northern lights appear when particles (粒子) from the sun hit the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) . These particles travel through space and are guided by the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) to the North and South Poles. When they meet gases in the atmosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen (氧气和氮气 ) , they produce colorful light. Oxygen gives off green and red light, while nitrogen produces blue and purple colors. The result is a moving curtain of light in the night sky.
The best time to see the northern lights is from September to March, when the nights are long and dark. You also need a clear sky away from city lights. Popular places to watch them include Norway, Canada, and Alaska. However, the lights are unpredictable. Even if you go to the right place, you may not see them. That’s part of the adventure.
Scientists study the northern lights to learn more about the sun and the Earth’s magnetic field. For many people, seeing the lights is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They feel amazed by the beauty of nature.
46.What causes the northern lights?
A.Gases in the atmosphere.
B.The sun’s heat.
C.Particles from the sun hitting the Earth’s atmosphere.
D.The Earth’s magnetic field.

Hummingbirds are among the smallest birds in the world. Most of them are only 6 to 12 cm long. They are famous for their ability to fly very quickly and stay in the same place in the air. People can often see them flying around flowers.
These amazing birds can fly up, down, forward and backward. No other kind of bird can fly backward as well as hummingbirds. Their wings beat about 50 to 80 times every second, making a humming sound. That is how they got their name.
Hummingbirds mainly feed on the nectar (花蜜) from flowers. The nectar gives them enough energy for their fast flight. They have long, thin bills (喙) that help them get nectar from deep inside flowers. They also eat small insects (昆虫) for protein (蛋白质). To keep their energy up, they must eat almost all day and can visit hundreds of flowers.
Most hummingbirds live in the forests of North and South America. When the weather gets cold, some kinds will fly to warmer areas. To live, they need plenty of flowers and fresh water.
Sadly, many hummingbirds are in danger now. The loss of living places and the use of harmful pesticides (农药) make their lives difficult. It’s important for us to protect these lovely and special birds.

Passage 2
(26·天津南开区·二模)
This year marks the 41st anniversary of the milu’s return to China. For many years, the animal was known as “Pere David’s deer” because the French missionary Pere David discovered it in Beijing in 1865 and introduced it to Europe.
The milu is also called “sibuxiang” (四不像) in Chinese because of its special appearance—a horse-like face, a donkey-like tail, cow-like hooves (蹄子) and stag-like antlers (雄鹿一样的角). Meng Qinghui, a researcher at the Beijing Milu Ecological Research Center, pointed out that the Chinese character “mi” appeared as early as in China’s oracle bone scripts (甲骨文).
However, the population of the milu in China gradually decreased because of climate change and human activities. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were only a few hundred left. They were kept in the royal hunting ground (皇家狩猎场) in Beijing. In 1900, the Eight Nation Alliance invaded (入侵) Beijing, killing and taking away the remaining milu. As a result, the milu became extinct (灭绝的) in China.
In 1985, China and the UK signed an agreement to bring 22 milu back to Beijing. This started a successful effort to increase their numbers in China. Since then, the milu population has grown rapidly, with over 15,000 now spread across the country.
“The change in the name of milu not only shows the recognition of China’s efforts to protect the animal, but also lets the world know its origin (起源) and history,” Hu Jining, head of the exhibition department of the Beijing Milu Ecological Research Center, told the reporter.
71.________ years ago, Pere David discovered the milu in Beijing.
A.22 B.40 C.161 D.1,865
72.Why is the milu called “sibuxiang” in Chinese?
A.Because it went to different countries.
B.Because it looks like four different animals.
C.Because it was kept in the royal hunting ground.
D.Because it was brought back from the UK in 1985.
73.The milu became extinct in China in 1900 because ________.
A.it was hunted by people for many years
B.the French missionary Pere David introduced it to Europe
C.the climate changed a lot during the Ming and Qing dynasties
D.the Eight Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, killing and taking away the remaining milu
74.Now, how many milu are there in China?
A.About 1985. B.Over 15,000. C.No more than 1,000. D.Only a few hundred.
75.In the last paragraph, what can we infer (推断) from Hu Jining’s words?
A.The milu comes from China. B.The milu does not live in China.
C.China isn’t trying to protect the milu. D.The milu was spread across the world.
Passage 3
(26·天津河北区·二模)
Cucumbers (黄瓜) are not just great in salads (沙拉). Some people put them in sandwiches, some like turning them into juice, and others even put them on their faces for skincare (护肤). With all these great uses, it’s hard to believe cucumbers aren’t for everyone—you might have heard cats are afraid of them. Why is that?
We decided to look into it and watched some videos online. In these videos, many cats seem truly afraid of cucumbers. The videos usually show a person putting a cucumber behind cats while they are busy eating or playing. When the cats turn around and see the cucumber, their reaction (反应) can be hilarious! Some cats jump high in the air and run away like their tails are on fire. Others look at the cucumber with wide eyes as if it might jump at them. While a few cats don’t show fear (恐惧), most seem pretty cautious (谨慎的). So, what’s happening here?
One thought is that cats might mistake cucumbers for snakes. To a cat, a cucumber can be a big surprise. If they see something long and green, they might think it’s dangerous. Another idea is that cats are afraid of the unknown. When something suddenly appears behind them, they might react the same way—whether it’s a cucumber, a shopping bag, or even a toy spider!
While it might sound funny to surprise cats with cucumbers, experts say this isn’t a good idea. It’s not nice to make animals feel afraid. So, the next time you see a cucumber, remember that it’s best to keep it for salads and sandwiches—not as a way to surprise your pets. Just like people, your animal friends have their fears!
76.What does the word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Some people like cucumber juice. B.Cats are afraid of cucumbers.
C.Cucumbers have many great uses. D.People use cucumbers for skincare.
77.What does the word “hilarious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Funny. B.Comfortable. C.Boring. D.Sad.
78.Why do most cats feel afraid of cucumbers?
① Cucumbers look like snakes. ② Cats dislike fresh vegetables.
③ Cucumbers smell bad for cats. ④ Cats fear sudden strange things.
A.①③ B.②④ C.②③ D.①④
79.Which of the following may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.Cats have fears. B.Animals need surprises.
C.People should eat salads. D.It is nice to play with cats.
80.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To advise people to have cucumbers.
B.To show people’s need for healthy eating.
C.To ask people to get along with all animals.
D.To tell about a funny and strange act of cats.

Passage 1
(26·天津西青区·二模)
Eyes are important for seeing and understanding the world. They work tirelessly every day, whether you’re doing homework, watching TV, or playing sports. They are often thought to be “windows to the soul” because they can help you express your emotions from happiness to sadness. They can help you connect with others. For example, your eyes might look big and shiny when you’re happy to see someone.
Scientists explain that eyes work by seeing light and helping the brain (大脑) turn this light into images (图像). Eyes are even busy when you sleep. Every night you go through a period of sleep called rapid eye movement (REM). Your eyes move rapidly from side to side during this period. At the same time, your breathing and heartbeat become fast.
Like any other part of your body, your eyes get tired too. When this happens, they may feel sore (疼痛) and dry, and you may not see things clearly. This happens especially when you don’t get enough sleep, or spend too much time staring at screens.
To keep your eyes healthy, the National Eye Institute (NEI) advises following a balanced (平衡的) diet. Doctors suggest eating a “rainbow” every day, with as many different colored fruits and vegetables as possible. If you spend a lot of time looking at screens, take breaks every 20 minutes to rest your eyes and remember to blink (眨眼). If you feel like you have trouble seeing things at school, feel free to tell your parents or teachers.
81.What does the underlined word “emotions” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Thanks. B.Feelings. C.Dreams. D.Movements.
82.Why are eyes called “windows to the soul”?
A.Because they can move very fast.
B.Because they work even when we sleep.
C.Because they can help us see light clearly.
D.Because they can help us express our emotions.
83.What happens to us during REM sleep?
A.Our heartbeat slows. B.Our eyes stop moving.
C.Our body temperature drops. D.Our breathing becomes faster.
84.What can make your eyes tired according to the passage?
A.Getting enough sleep B.Blinking often while reading

Passage 2
(26·天津北辰区·二模)
Ordering food online has become a common part of daily life, especially for young people. With just a few taps (轻敲) on a phone, a hot meal can arrive at your door in 30 minutes. But the food delivery industry (配送行业) has changed a lot over time.
In the past, people who wanted food at home had to look up phone numbers in a yellow pages book and call the restaurant directly, then they placed an order, and waited for a long time. Only a few restaurants offered delivery. The delivery person often carried a paper map to find the address.
Today, food delivery apps like Meituan and Ele.me have changed everything. Online users can visit hundreds of restaurants, compare prices, read reviews, and track (追踪) their delivery in real time on a map. The apps also offer discounts (折扣) and membership plans to save money. Many restaurants now depend on delivery to stay in business.
However, there are also problems. Some people worry about the huge amount of plastic waste from food packaging (包装). Delivery riders often face dangerous traffic conditions to arrive on time. Also, ordering too much takeout may lead to less healthy eating habits. As a result, some cities have started to encourage reusable packaging and set safer working rules for riders.
Food delivery makes life more convenient (便捷的), but it also comes with responsibilities. Finding a balance (平衡) between convenience, health, and environmental care is the next big challenge.
86.We can probably read the passage in a _________.
A.storybook B.travel guide C.life magazine D.science report
87.What is the right order of ordering food in the past?

Passage 4
(26·天津河北区·二模)
I, a student from Africa, volunteered (自愿服务) at Tianjin Railway Station while others relaxed during the May Day holiday. It was my first time volunteering in China. I thought my job of giving directions would be simple and easy, but I quickly realised that it was much more than what I had expected.
At the information booth (咨询亭), two friendly Chinese students taught me some Chinese traditions. They said I should speak slowly and not point with my finger. Instead, I should use my whole palm (手掌) because pointing is impolite in China.
At first, people didn’t talk to me because they didn’t think I could speak Chinese. So, I greeted (问候) everyone with a big smile and said “Welcome! How can I help you?” in Chinese. They were surprised and felt more comfortable.
One family from Shaanxi also communicated with me. Their 7-year-old son called me “Waiguoren” in a happy voice. And I smiled and asked if they needed help. Then, the father started talking to me. He had a strong accent (口音). I struggled at first, but soon we talked not just about tourist information but also about our cultures.
He asked why many Africans eat with their hands instead of chopsticks. I told him that it’s part of our culture—many traditional dishes are better enjoyed with hands, and chopsticks simply wouldn’t work for certain foods. When asked if I could use chopsticks, I told him it took me years to learn. And we both laughed. I also asked about his home town, Shaanxi. He told me about its importance on the ancient Silk Road. He also told me a lot about Xi’an, the capital city with the Terracotta Warriors.
This experience taught me that a smile and an open mind can bridge cultures. I learnt a lot about China and loved my volunteering time.

Passage 5
(26·天津红桥区·二模)
We have many ways to get close to nature, such as dancing in the rain, stepping on fallen leaves or digging in the soil, but my favourite is walking barefoot (赤脚).
Walking barefoot can be enjoyable and helpful. It can help us sleep better and feel rested in mind and body. It can also build our foot muscles (肌肉) and improve our balance. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, walking barefoot can be good for our health.
When you want to try walking barefoot, there’s no need to hurry. At first, walking barefoot for 10 minutes can be fine. After that, add 5 minutes every day until you can walk for 20 to 30 minutes. If your feet hurt, take a break or curtail the time.
Walking barefoot, however, isn’t always safe. People with health problems like flat feet or back pain should avoid this practice. What’s more, walking barefoot in cold or wet environments might cause health problems. To make walking barefoot safe, remember the following points:
※ Choose safe places, like soft grass or warm sand.
※ Stay away from things like rocks or broken glass.
※ Keep shoes at hand if you worry that your feet will get too sore.
※ Listen to your body—stop if you feel pain or discomfort.
Walking barefoot is a great way to feel connected with nature, but it’s important to stay safe and consider your own health condition.

Passage 7
(26·天津和平区·二模)
My sister Lisa had autism (孤独症). She was shy in crowds and had trouble fitting in. She often locked herself in her own world and she could not look people in the eye. In many ways, she was weird (怪异的). So I never mentioned in public that she was my sister. However, an event changed me.
At the end of Grade Six, Lisa and her classmates had to perform (表演), whether in a group or individually (单独地), according to the school rules. As you can imagine, Lisa was the only one left without a group.
“I’ll sing,” she told us. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. “No!” I cried out. My parents shot me a look and that was when I knew my sister was going to perform, no matter what.
That day came. I sat in the hall, waiting for the performance. Soon it was Lisa’s turn. It took her about a whole minute to stammer (结巴) her name and class.

Passage 8
(26·天津宁河区·二模)
Have you ever wanted to read a good book in a quiet, green place? Now in China, there are some bookstores in parks. They let people read close to nature.
Chengdu was the first city to put forward the idea of a “park city”. It has mixed bookstores with parks and greenways. For example, “Jinshu Lai” is such a nice reading place on the Jinjiang Greenway. It is built with wood and glass, and its roof (屋顶) looks like open book pages. The design is inspired by Li Qingzhao’s poem. Besides, in Chengdu’s old streets like Kuanzhai Alley, bookstores have teamed up with art shops to bring historic areas back to life.
Elsewhere, this trend (趋势) is also on the rise. For example, at a bookstore on Guishan Mountain in Wuhan, readers can enjoy great views of famous landmarks (地标) like the Yangtze River Bridge while they read. In Beijing, bookstores in Beihai Park are now mixed with cafes (咖啡馆) and restaurants, so visitors can stay much longer than in a usual city bookstore. In the future, more cities plan to create mixed places like “Coffee Factory” along the greenway, based on the “book + coffee” style.
For many visitors, these park bookstores are a wonderful mix of relaxation and learning. By bringing together green space and culture, these special bookstores offer a fresher and healthier way for everyone to enjoy the simple pleasure of reading outdoors.
116.What is different about park bookstores?
A.They are big and modern. B.They are close to the busy city.
C.They are built with wood and glass. D.They let people read close to nature.

Passage 1
(26·天津武清区·二模)
It could almost be an act from a funny cartoon: A marmot (土拨鼠) jumps up with its mouth open in great surprise and stands on one foot. What was happening to the little one? A fox (狐狸) drew close silently from behind and was about to catch it!
This amazing picture, named “The Moment” was taken by Chinese photographer Yongqing Bao. It has won him the prize as Wildlife Photographer of the Year. He took the picture on a grassland in China’s Qilian Mountains in early spring.

Passage 2
(26·天津东丽区·二模)
Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and we can take many other fast and comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes (传真), but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending e-mails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so?

“No print, no year” is an old saying well-known to people in Suzhou, Jiangsu. The “print” here means Taohuawu Woodblock (木版) New Year Prints, a special kind of nianhua.
Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints gets its name from the Taohuawu area in Suzhou. Many people there made the prints in the past. It is famous for its bright colors, clear lines and many different themes. In 2006, Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Prints was named a national intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产). Sun Yibo, 44, has worked on Taohuawu prints for over 20 years. Sun said Taohuawu prints are nianhua with door gods, flowers, birds, and pop culture like games and films.
Sun once made a woodblock print to show a scene in the game Paper Bride (《纸嫁衣》). He spent months working on it. “Each Taohuawu print follows the ‘one color on one carved block’ rule and is made with the colors printed on top of each other,” explained Sun. “There are six colors in the scene, so I made six color blocks.”
It takes a long time to make a woodblock print, so few people want to learn this skill. But Sun and other inheritors (传承人) in Suzhou are trying to let more young people know about it.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, people from Taohuawu made more than 1 million works a year. Many were sent abroad to the UK, Germany and Japan. People believe that Taohuawu prints also influenced Japanese prints. Many Japanese artists learned the style of drawing women and stage scenes (舞台场景) from Taohuawu prints.

Passage 4
(26·天津和平区·二模)
In Luleå, a city in northern Sweden (瑞典), people are asked to say “hello” to each other more often. The new campaign (活动) is called Säg hej!, meaning “say hello”. It is a simple way to connect people, but a very big step for the city.
Swedish culture values privacy (隐私) and interpersonal distance (人际距离) so much that it has caused loneliness especially in Luleå where the sun only shines around three hours a day in the winter months. People usually like to stay warm at home alone. While most people believe that loneliness is the commonest among the elderly who usually live alone, the opposite is true. It is actually rising in young people and it has a bad influence on their mental (精神的) and physical health. A study about Luleå found that 45% of people aged 16—29 were experiencing problems because of loneliness.
Asa Koski, who works for the city, came up with the idea of the Säg hej! campaign. “The city is developing fast and more people are coming. We don’t just want Luleå to grow to be a big city. We also want it to be a safe, friendly and happy place where there’s culture, relaxing activities, and sports,” Koski said. “Greeting people makes them feel like they belong. Research shows that it has a good effect on health and makes people want to help each other. If you say hi to your neighbors, you are more likely to help them,” Koski said.
The activity is now being encouraged on buses and in schools. There are even workshops on how to greet one another. Many people agree that saying hello should be encouraged and believe that the more international the city becomes, the friendlier people will become. “It’s really good that people say hello to each other,” 61-year-old Pontus Wikström, said. “It means that people who meet without knowing each other become a little bit happier.”
136.What do we know about the people in Luleå?
A.The elderly are the loneliest. B.Many young people live alone.
C.The cold weather makes them lonelier. D.They keep a distance when talking to each other.
137.Koski started the campaign of Säg hej! to ________.
A.encourage people to stay healthy B.invite people to travel around Luleå
C.let more people know about the city D.create a better environment for people
138.Which group has the most serious loneliness problem in Luleå?
A.The elderly living alone. B.Old people with families.
C.Young people aged 16 - 29. D.Workers in the city.
139.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Greeting people. B.Helping each other.
C.Living in the city. D.Taking part in activities.
140.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Loneliness among the Swedish elderly B.A new campaign brings people together
C.Ways to improve body health D.City development in modern Sweden
Passage 5
(26·天津宁河区·二模)
If you’re nearsighted, you can see close things clearly, but things far away look blurry (模糊的).This is a problem that is becoming more common in kids around the world. Research shows that spending a couple of hours outside every day can help stop or slow down nearsightedness, although it’s not clear why. One possible reason is that your eyes see more changes in light and more different shapes outside instead of just smooth, flat surfaces. This natural environment gives your eyes a kind of exercise, helping them stay healthy.
To test this idea, scientists in China decorated (装饰) indoor classrooms to look like woodlands. They covered walls and desks with pictures of trees and leaves. They painted the ceiling (天花板) to look like the sky. They tried to create as much stimulation for the eyes to see as you would get outdoors.
For one year, about 250 9-year-olds had their lessons in the woodland classrooms, while another 250 were taught in regular classrooms with white walls. At the end of the year, the scientists tested the children’s vision (视力) and found that the kids in the woodland classrooms showed fewer signs of nearsightedness. However, being in the decorated classrooms did not help kids who were already nearsighted. Experts say that decorating classrooms cannot replace spending time outdoors, but it might be better than nothing.
141.Why might spending time outside be good for eyes?
A.Because the air is cleaner outside.
B.Because the sun makes eyes brighter.
C.Because there are fewer things to look at.
D.Because eyes see more changes and shapes.
142.What can we know about the woodland classrooms?
A.They were built outside. B.They had strong light.
C.They had white walls. D.They had tree pictures on walls.
143.The word “stimulation” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ________ ”.
A.something that makes you feel tired
B.something that helps you relax and sleep
C.something that causes pain in your eyes
D.something that makes your eyes active
144.The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.indoor classes can replace outdoor activities
B.woodland classrooms might be good for kids’ eyesight
C.nearsighted kids can get better in new classrooms
D.regular classrooms are better than woodland ones
145.In which part of a magazine can we find the passage?
A.Health. B.Travel. C.Culture. D.Art.

Passage 1
(26·天津滨海新区·二模)
2025 was one of the warmest years in global (全球的) weather history, and the polar regions (极地) are getting hotter than ever before, according to China’s National Climate Center. Can you believe it? The Arctic (北极) and Antarctic (南极) are losing their ice homes quickly, and this is not just a faraway problem. Polar bears can’t find enough ice to hunt on, and cute penguins are losing their living places. The rising temperature is a big red flag for our whole planet, and we can’t ignore (忽视) it anymore.
But don’t worry—we teenagers can make a difference! We can start with small things in daily life: turn off lights and computers when we don’t use them, ride bikes or take buses instead of cars, and plant trees with our families. We can also tell our friends and relatives about the polar warming problem, so more people join in the action. The poles are far away, but our love and efforts can reach them. Let’s work together to cool down our Earth and protect the lovely polar animals!
Why is this happening? The main reason is human activity. We burn too much coal and oil for energy, which sends greenhouse gases into the air. These gases trap (锁住) heat like a thick blanket (毛毯) around the Earth, making it warmer and warmer. Cutting down too many trees also makes things worse, because trees can take in the harmful gases and cool the planet. Every small choice we make, like leaving the lights on or using plastic bags, adds up to this big problem.
146.What do we know about 2025 from the passage?
A.It was the coldest year in history.
B.Ice in polar regions is increasing.
C.It was one of the warmest years on record.
D.Polar regions are getting colder and colder.
147.What can teenagers do to help the planet?
A.Use more plastic bags.
B.Turn off lights when not using them.
C.Cut down a lot of old trees.
D.Burn too much coal and oil.
148.How do greenhouse gases make the Earth warmer?
A.They trap heat like a thick blanket.
B.They use too much energy.
C.They produce more plastic bags.
D.They cut down a lot of trees.
149.Why is cutting down trees harmful to the planet?
A.Trees make harmful air and heat.
B.Trees drink too much water every day.
C.Trees take up land people need.
D.Trees take in bad gases and cool the Earth.
150.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To teach people about trips to the poles.
B.To tell how people make coal and oil today.
C.To ask people to stop the Earth from getting hot.
D.To show people some animals in the North and South.
Passage 2
(26·天津武清区·二模)
In many communities in Tianjin today, a new kind of machine is appearing near the gates. It is called the “Smart Recycling Station”. This system is changing the way people deal with their old clothes and waste.
The recycling station has a high-tech screen and different doors for different items (物品) , such as old clothes, paper, and plastic bottles. When someone wants to recycle something, they can scan a QRcode (二维码) with their phone or use a special card. Then, the right door will open automatically (自动地) .
Inside the station, there are sensors (传感器) and cameras. They can “see” and “weigh” the items. For example, if people put a bag of old clothes into the “Clothes” bin, the system will weigh the clothes and give “points” or money. These “points” can be used to buy daily things such as salt and tissues (纸巾) in a nearby shop. The system can send messages to the phones of workers in recycling companies when a bin is nearly full. In this way, workers don’t have to check every community, which saves a lot of time and energy.
“It makes recycling much more interesting,” says Wang Fang, a student from Tianjin. “In the past, my mother used to throw away old clothes or just leave them lying around. But now, she enjoys ‘selling’ them to the smart station. It helps keep our home tidy and protect the environment.”
Smart recycling is a great step for a “Green City”. It not only encourages people to recycle correctly but also makes our world a cleaner place to live.
151.According to the passage, people can recycle _________ at the Smart Recycling Station.
A.salt and tissues B.old clothes and plastic bottles
C.special cards and phones D.high-tech screens and doors
152.How can people open the doors of the Smart Recycling Station?
A.By calling the worker. B.By knocking on the door.
C.By scanning a QR code. D.By putting in some money.
153.People can use their “points” to _________.
A.get new clothes for free B.pay for the recycling
C.open the station doors D.buy daily things
154.In Wang Fang’s opinion, the Smart Recycling Station _________.
A.makes recycling much more interesting B.is too difficult for her mother to use
C.is more expensive than the nearby shop D.takes her too much time to clean the home
155.Which of the following is the correct order of the recycling process?
a. The system weighs the items.
b. Workers come to clear the bin when it is nearly full.
c. The user gets “points” or money.
d. The user opens the right door to recycle.
A.a-c-d-b B.d-c-a-b C.d-a-c-b D.a-d-c-b
Passage 3
(26·天津和平区·二模)
Even though African elephants are protected, many of them are still being killed for their ivory (象牙).
At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa, but today, their numbers have fallen to around 450,000. This is mainly caused by illegal (非法的) hunting for ivory. This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 African elephants each year.
Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been considered precious. Its unusual look has led to its use in lots of expensive things, including jewellery (珠宝), musical instruments and art. And the ivory material (材料) itself can stand the test of time. So many people would like to pay a high price for ivory products.
Luckily, some scientists are working hard to achieve the same beauty of ivory without killing any animals. Thaddäa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the ivory called “Digory”. The high-tech ivory is made from synthetic resin (合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles (磷酸钙颗粒). It’s first formed into the shape by a 3D printer. And then it is color-matched and colored. Next, it is polished (抛光) to make it look like real natural ivory.
Although Digory looks so real that it is hard to tell it from real ivory, its chemical structure (化学结构) is completely different from that of the real one. Scientists have made some achievements, but we still need to do more research to make sure that it is widely used. It’s still hopeful that scientists will be able to protect African elephants by making high-tech materials to replace the real ivory.
156.How does the writer show the dangerous situations of elephants?
A.By telling a story. B.By listing numbers.
C.By taking examples. D.By asking a question.
157.What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Ancient. B.Simple. C.Valuable. D.Modern.
158.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Why ivory products are popular. B.What people can do to save elephants.
C.Where the ivory trade is the most popular. D.How the scientists develop the high-tech ivory.
159.What do we know about making “Digory”?
① Its cost. ② Its time. ③ Its steps. ④ Its materials.
A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④
160.The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.technology can replace people to create art
B.it won’t take long to make Digory widely used
C.it’s difficult for people to accept high-tech products
D.the use of technology can support the protection of wildlife

Passage 2
(26·天津武清区河北屯·二模)
Nowadays, everyone has a “microphone” to share their world. A project called “Real Echo” recently interviewed three content (内容) creators to talk about the hidden rules behind a successful screen. The “Honest Creator”— Lin Tao
Lin Tao makes videos about school life. At first, he was so anxious (渴望) to get more “likes” that he used special filters (滤镜) to make the school food look much better than it really was. However, his classmates’ disappointed faces made him think deeply. “A creator should never sacrifice truth for popularity,” Lin Tao said. Now, he puts his heart into real stories. He has learned that the trust of the audience (观众) is far more valuable than a high number of “likes”.
The “History Researcher”— Jane
Jane is a college student who creates short videos about her city’s history. She discovered that the hardest part was not filming, but checking the facts. “I spent hours in the library to make sure every date was correct,” Jane explained. To her, history is a serious matter that should not be shared carelessly. She believes that providing correct information is the bottom line for anyone who wants to speak to the public.
The “Boundary (边界) Keeper” — Mr Zhao
Mr Zhao is a traveler who films his journeys. He noticed that some creators often film strangers without asking or share too much of their friends’ private lives just to win more viewers. Mr Zhao always follows a rule: respect people first, film second. “A camera can be a weapon (武器) if you don’t use it with kindness,” he said. He believes that a creator’s job is to provide light, not noise, and that starts with respecting others’ boundaries.

Last summer, my grandpa invited me to help him grow vegetables in our backyard. At first, I was not interested. It was so hot that I preferred staying in the air-conditioned room to watch videos. However, Grandpa encouraged me with a smile, “Just try it for one week, Peter. You will find the magic of nature.”
So, we started our gardening journey. Every morning, we prepared the soil and planted seeds together. When we worked, Grandpa told me many stories about his childhood. He taught me a lot. “Every plant needs patience and care, just like people do,” he said gently. In the following weeks, I learned how to remove weeds (杂草) and water the plants. Although I was often tired and sweaty, I felt proud when I saw the small green shoots (嫩芽) growing.
One month later, we picked the first basket of tomatoes. I washed a big red one and shared it with Grandpa right in the garden. It tasted fresher and sweeter than any fruit from the store.

Passage 1
(26·天津西青区·二模)
Scientists from China’s Shanghai Jiao Tong University are developing a robot “guide dog” to help blind people. The robot dog is about the size of an English bulldog but a little wider. It has six legs instead of four. The extra legs make it more stable (稳定的) and help it move faster.
The robot is being tested in Shanghai. With the help of cameras and AI, the robot dog can see, listen and speak with blind people. It can help them during daily trips outside and be a “friend” at home. Blind people can also use a cane (手杖) to control the robot’s walking and running speed. The robot can even recognize the traffic lights.
Li Fei and Zhu Sibin are helping test the robot. Li is totally blind and Zhu can only see a little. Zhu often uses a cane to move around. “The robot dog will make it easier to get into public places than with real guide dogs. I am happy to join in the test. It could change our lives in the near future,” Li said.
In China, there are about 17.31 million blind people, but there are only about 400 guide dogs. The new robot is trying to solve this problem. “We believe our robot will act as ‘a pair of eyes’ for blind people,” said Professor Gao Peng. He thinks there could be a large market for these robot dogs.
36.Why do scientists develop the robot dog?
A.To help blind people. B.To improve AI technology.

Passage 3
(26·天津东丽区·二模)
In the far north, there is a beautiful natural light show called the northern lights. People travel thousands of miles to see it, but what exactly is it?
The northern lights appear when particles (粒子) from the sun hit the Earth’s atmosphere (大气层) . These particles travel through space and are guided by the Earth’s magnetic field (磁场) to the North and South Poles. When they meet gases in the atmosphere, such as oxygen and nitrogen (氧气和氮气 ) , they produce colorful light. Oxygen gives off green and red light, while nitrogen produces blue and purple colors. The result is a moving curtain of light in the night sky.
The best time to see the northern lights is from September to March, when the nights are long and dark. You also need a clear sky away from city lights. Popular places to watch them include Norway, Canada, and Alaska. However, the lights are unpredictable. Even if you go to the right place, you may not see them. That’s part of the adventure.
Scientists study the northern lights to learn more about the sun and the Earth’s magnetic field. For many people, seeing the lights is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. They feel amazed by the beauty of nature.

D.Only red.
48.When is the best time to see the northern lights?
A.From June to August.
B.Only in winter.
C.From September to March.
D.Only on clear summer nights.
49.The underlined word “unpredictable” means ________.
A.difficult to know early B.easy to find
C.very bright D.always the same
50.What is the main purpose of the passage?

Hummingbirds are among the smallest birds in the world. Most of them are only 6 to 12 cm long. They are famous for their ability to fly very quickly and stay in the same place in the air. People can often see them flying around flowers.
These amazing birds can fly up, down, forward and backward. No other kind of bird can fly backward as well as hummingbirds. Their wings beat about 50 to 80 times every second, making a humming sound. That is how they got their name.
Hummingbirds mainly feed on the nectar (花蜜) from flowers. The nectar gives them enough energy for their fast flight. They have long, thin bills (喙) that help them get nectar from deep inside flowers. They also eat small insects (昆虫) for protein (蛋白质). To keep their energy up, they must eat almost all day and can visit hundreds of flowers.
Most hummingbirds live in the forests of North and South America. When the weather gets cold, some kinds will fly to warmer areas. To live, they need plenty of flowers and fresh water.
Sadly, many hummingbirds are in danger now. The loss of living places and the use of harmful pesticides (农药) make their lives difficult. It’s important for us to protect these lovely and special birds.

Passage 2
(26·天津南开区·二模)
This year marks the 41st anniversary of the milu’s return to China. For many years, the animal was known as “Pere David’s deer” because the French missionary Pere David discovered it in Beijing in 1865 and introduced it to Europe.
The milu is also called “sibuxiang” (四不像) in Chinese because of its special appearance—a horse-like face, a donkey-like tail, cow-like hooves (蹄子) and stag-like antlers (雄鹿一样的角). Meng Qinghui, a researcher at the Beijing Milu Ecological Research Center, pointed out that the Chinese character “mi” appeared as early as in China’s oracle bone scripts (甲骨文).
However, the population of the milu in China gradually decreased because of climate change and human activities. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were only a few hundred left. They were kept in the royal hunting ground (皇家狩猎场) in Beijing. In 1900, the Eight Nation Alliance invaded (入侵) Beijing, killing and taking away the remaining milu. As a result, the milu became extinct (灭绝的) in China.
In 1985, China and the UK signed an agreement to bring 22 milu back to Beijing. This started a successful effort to increase their numbers in China. Since then, the milu population has grown rapidly, with over 15,000 now spread across the country.
“The change in the name of milu not only shows the recognition of China’s efforts to protect the animal, but also lets the world know its origin (起源) and history,” Hu Jining, head of the exhibition department of the Beijing Milu Ecological Research Center, told the reporter.
71.________ years ago, Pere David discovered the milu in Beijing.
A.22 B.40 C.161 D.1,865
72.Why is the milu called “sibuxiang” in Chinese?
A.Because it went to different countries.
B.Because it looks like four different animals.
C.Because it was kept in the royal hunting ground.
D.Because it was brought back from the UK in 1985.
73.The milu became extinct in China in 1900 because ________.
A.it was hunted by people for many years
B.the French missionary Pere David introduced it to Europe
C.the climate changed a lot during the Ming and Qing dynasties
D.the Eight Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, killing and taking away the remaining milu
74.Now, how many milu are there in China?
A.About 1985. B.Over 15,000. C.No more than 1,000. D.Only a few hundred.
75.In the last paragraph, what can we infer (推断) from Hu Jining’s words?

【导语】本文介绍了麋鹿(四不像)在中国被发现、灭绝、重新引进及种群恢复的历史。
71.第一段指出:“Pere David discovered it in Beijing in 1865”,至今(2026年)约161年。
72.第二段指出:“a horse-like face, a donkey-like tail, cow-like hooves and stag-like antlers”,说明它像四种不同的动物。
73.第三段指出:“In 1900, the Eight Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, killing and taking away the remaining milu. As a result, the milu became extinct in China.”,说明八国联军入侵导致麋鹿在中国灭绝。
74.第四段指出:“with over 15,000 now spread across the country”,说明现在中国有超过15,000只麋鹿。
75.最后一段胡冀宁说:“The change in the name of milu not only shows the recognition of China’s efforts to protect the animal, but also lets the world know its origin and history.”,说明麋鹿的名字变化让世界知道它的起源和历史。结合前文麋鹿曾被法国传教士发现并引入欧洲,且一度在中国灭绝,如今种群恢复,因此可以推断麋鹿起源于中国。
Passage 3
(26·天津河北区·二模)
Cucumbers (黄瓜) are not just great in salads (沙拉). Some people put them in sandwiches, some like turning them into juice, and others even put them on their faces for skincare (护肤). With all these great uses, it’s hard to believe cucumbers aren’t for everyone—you might have heard cats are afraid of them. Why is that?
We decided to look into it and watched some videos online. In these videos, many cats seem truly afraid of cucumbers. The videos usually show a person putting a cucumber behind cats while they are busy eating or playing. When the cats turn around and see the cucumber, their reaction (反应) can be hilarious! Some cats jump high in the air and run away like their tails are on fire. Others look at the cucumber with wide eyes as if it might jump at them. While a few cats don’t show fear (恐惧), most seem pretty cautious (谨慎的). So, what’s happening here?
One thought is that cats might mistake cucumbers for snakes. To a cat, a cucumber can be a big surprise. If they see something long and green, they might think it’s dangerous. Another idea is that cats are afraid of the unknown. When something suddenly appears behind them, they might react the same way—whether it’s a cucumber, a shopping bag, or even a toy spider!
While it might sound funny to surprise cats with cucumbers, experts say this isn’t a good idea. It’s not nice to make animals feel afraid. So, the next time you see a cucumber, remember that it’s best to keep it for salads and sandwiches—not as a way to surprise your pets. Just like people, your animal friends have their fears!
76.What does the word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Some people like cucumber juice. B.Cats are afraid of cucumbers.
C.Cucumbers have many great uses. D.People use cucumbers for skincare.
77.What does the word “hilarious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Funny. B.Comfortable. C.Boring. D.Sad.
78.Why do most cats feel afraid of cucumbers?
① Cucumbers look like snakes. ② Cats dislike fresh vegetables.
③ Cucumbers smell bad for cats. ④ Cats fear sudden strange things.
A.①③ B.②④ C.②③ D.①④
79.Which of the following may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.Cats have fears. B.Animals need surprises.
C.People should eat salads. D.It is nice to play with cats.
80.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To advise people to have cucumbers.
B.To show people’s need for healthy eating.
C.To ask people to get along with all animals.
D.To tell about a funny and strange act of cats.
【答案】76.B 77.A 78.D 79.A 80.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了黄瓜的多种用途,并重点探讨了为什么猫会害怕黄瓜这一有趣的现象(可能是因为黄瓜像蛇,也可能是因为猫害怕突然出现的陌生物体),最后专家建议不要用黄瓜惊吓宠物,要尊重动物的恐惧。
76.第一段最后一句“With all these great uses, it’s hard to believe cucumbers aren’t for everyone—you might have heard cats are afraid of them. Why is that?”(有了这些用途,很难相信黄瓜不是每个人都喜欢的——你可能听说过猫害怕它们。为什么会那样呢?),这里的“that”指代前文提到的“cats are afraid of them”(猫害怕黄瓜)这一现象。
77.第二段描述猫看到黄瓜后的反应:“Some cats jump high in the air and run away like their tails are on fire.”(有些猫跳得很高,像尾巴着火一样跑开),这种夸张的反应通常是非常滑稽、好笑的,所以“hilarious”意为“极其滑稽的、好笑的”,对应选项Funny。
78.第三段“One thought is that cats might mistake cucumbers for snakes.”(一种想法是猫可能把黄瓜误认为是蛇。)——对应①。“Another idea is that cats are afraid of the unknown. When something suddenly appears behind them...”(另一种想法是猫害怕未知。当有东西突然出现在它们身后时……)——对应④(Cats fear sudden strange things)。文中并未提到猫讨厌新鲜蔬菜(②)或黄瓜对猫来说有难闻的气味(③)。
79.最后一段最后一句“Just like people, your animal friends have their fears!”(就像人一样,你的动物朋友也有它们的恐惧!),这直接表明作者同意“Cats have fears”这一观点。
80.文章前半部分详细描述了猫看到黄瓜时滑稽的反应(funny),后半部分分析了原因并给出了建议。虽然最后有建议,但整篇文章的核心是围绕“猫怕黄瓜”这个有趣且奇怪的现象展开的。D项最贴切。
主题一 人与自我
Passage 1
(26·天津西青区·二模)
Eyes are important for seeing and understanding the world. They work tirelessly every day, whether you’re doing homework, watching TV, or playing sports. They are often thought to be “windows to the soul” because they can help you express your emotions from happiness to sadness. They can help you connect with others. For example, your eyes might look big and shiny when you’re happy to see someone.
Scientists explain that eyes work by seeing light and helping the brain (大脑) turn this light into images (图像). Eyes are even busy when you sleep. Every night you go through a period of sleep called rapid eye movement (REM). Your eyes move rapidly from side to side during this period. At the same time, your breathing and heartbeat become fast.
Like any other part of your body, your eyes get tired too. When this happens, they may feel sore (疼痛) and dry, and you may not see things clearly. This happens especially when you don’t get enough sleep, or spend too much time staring at screens.
To keep your eyes healthy, the National Eye Institute (NEI) advises following a balanced (平衡的) diet. Doctors suggest eating a “rainbow” every day, with as many different colored fruits and vegetables as possible. If you spend a lot of time looking at screens, take breaks every 20 minutes to rest your eyes and remember to blink (眨眼). If you feel like you have trouble seeing things at school, feel free to tell your parents or teachers.
81.What does the underlined word “emotions” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Thanks. B.Feelings. C.Dreams. D.Movements.
82.Why are eyes called “windows to the soul”?
A.Because they can move very fast.
B.Because they work even when we sleep.
C.Because they can help us see light clearly.
D.Because they can help us express our emotions.
83.What happens to us during REM sleep?
A.Our heartbeat slows. B.Our eyes stop moving.
C.Our body temperature drops. D.Our breathing becomes faster.
84.What can make your eyes tired according to the passage?
A.Getting enough sleep B.Blinking often while reading
C.Looking at screens for a long time D.Taking breaks every 20 minutes.
85.What’s the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To give advice. B.To explain reasons.
C.To show problems. D.To compare differences.
【答案】81.B 82.D 83.D 84.C 85.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了眼睛的重要性、工作原理、疲劳原因以及保持眼睛健康的建议。
【详解】81.根据第一段划线词后的“from happiness to sadness”可知,“happiness”和“sadness”属于人的情感感受,因此“emotions”意为“情感”,与“Feelings”意思相近。
82.根据第一段“They are often thought to be ‘windows to the soul’ because they can help you express your emotions”可知,眼睛被称为“心灵之窗”是因为它们能帮助人表达情感。
83.根据第二段“Your eyes move rapidly from side to side during this period. At the same time, your breathing and heartbeat become fast”可知,在REM 睡眠期间,眼睛会快速移动,呼吸和心跳也会变快。
84.根据第三段“This happens especially when you don’t get enough sleep, or spend too much time staring at screens”可知,睡眠不足或长时间盯着屏幕会使眼睛疲劳。
85.最后一段指出:“To keep your eyes healthy, the NEI advises...Doctors suggest...take breaks”,说明本段主要给出保护眼睛的建议,因此写作目的是“给出建议”。
Passage 2
(26·天津北辰区·二模)
Ordering food online has become a common part of daily life, especially for young people. With just a few taps (轻敲) on a phone, a hot meal can arrive at your door in 30 minutes. But the food delivery industry (配送行业) has changed a lot over time.
In the past, people who wanted food at home had to look up phone numbers in a yellow pages book and call the restaurant directly, then they placed an order, and waited for a long time. Only a few restaurants offered delivery. The delivery person often carried a paper map to find the address.
Today, food delivery apps like Meituan and Ele.me have changed everything. Online users can visit hundreds of restaurants, compare prices, read reviews, and track (追踪) their delivery in real time on a map. The apps also offer discounts (折扣) and membership plans to save money. Many restaurants now depend on delivery to stay in business.
However, there are also problems. Some people worry about the huge amount of plastic waste from food packaging (包装). Delivery riders often face dangerous traffic conditions to arrive on time. Also, ordering too much takeout may lead to less healthy eating habits. As a result, some cities have started to encourage reusable packaging and set safer working rules for riders.
Food delivery makes life more convenient (便捷的), but it also comes with responsibilities. Finding a balance (平衡) between convenience, health, and environmental care is the next big challenge.

Passage 4
(26·天津河北区·二模)
I, a student from Africa, volunteered (自愿服务) at Tianjin Railway Station while others relaxed during the May Day holiday. It was my first time volunteering in China. I thought my job of giving directions would be simple and easy, but I quickly realised that it was much more than what I had expected.
At the information booth (咨询亭), two friendly Chinese students taught me some Chinese traditions. They said I should speak slowly and not point with my finger. Instead, I should use my whole palm (手掌) because pointing is impolite in China.
At first, people didn’t talk to me because they didn’t think I could speak Chinese. So, I greeted (问候) everyone with a big smile and said “Welcome! How can I help you?” in Chinese. They were surprised and felt more comfortable.
One family from Shaanxi also communicated with me. Their 7-year-old son called me “Waiguoren” in a happy voice. And I smiled and asked if they needed help. Then, the father started talking to me. He had a strong accent (口音). I struggled at first, but soon we talked not just about tourist information but also about our cultures.
He asked why many Africans eat with their hands instead of chopsticks. I told him that it’s part of our culture—many traditional dishes are better enjoyed with hands, and chopsticks simply wouldn’t work for certain foods. When asked if I could use chopsticks, I told him it took me years to learn. And we both laughed. I also asked about his home town, Shaanxi. He told me about its importance on the ancient Silk Road. He also told me a lot about Xi’an, the capital city with the Terracotta Warriors.
This experience taught me that a smile and an open mind can bridge cultures. I learnt a lot about China and loved my volunteering time.
96.What was the writer’s main job during the May Day holiday?
A.Buying train tickets for visitors. B.Selling things at a booth.

Passage 5
(26·天津红桥区·二模)
We have many ways to get close to nature, such as dancing in the rain, stepping on fallen leaves or digging in the soil, but my favourite is walking barefoot (赤脚).
Walking barefoot can be enjoyable and helpful. It can help us sleep better and feel rested in mind and body. It can also build our foot muscles (肌肉) and improve our balance. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, walking barefoot can be good for our health.
When you want to try walking barefoot, there’s no need to hurry. At first, walking barefoot for 10 minutes can be fine. After that, add 5 minutes every day until you can walk for 20 to 30 minutes. If your feet hurt, take a break or curtail the time.
Walking barefoot, however, isn’t always safe. People with health problems like flat feet or back pain should avoid this practice. What’s more, walking barefoot in cold or wet environments might cause health problems. To make walking barefoot safe, remember the following points:
※ Choose safe places, like soft grass or warm sand.
※ Stay away from things like rocks or broken glass.
※ Keep shoes at hand if you worry that your feet will get too sore.
※ Listen to your body—stop if you feel pain or discomfort.
Walking barefoot is a great way to feel connected with nature, but it’s important to stay safe and consider your own health condition.
101.Which of the following is the writer’s favourite way to get close to nature?
A.Dancing in the rain. B.Stepping on fallen leaves.
C.Digging in the soil. D.Walking without shoes on.
102.What does the word “curtail” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Tell. B.Make. C.Reduce. D.Value.
103.According to the text, remember to ________ when you are walking barefoot.
A.try a cold surface B.find a safe place
C.practise on hard rocks D.walk in wet environments

C.The correct steps to start practising walking barefoot.
D.The best time and places for people to walk barefoot.
105.What is the text mainly about?
A.The effects of Traditional Chinese Medicine. B.The suggestions on outdoor activities.
C.The information about walking barefoot. D.The introduction to health problems.
【答案】101.D 102.C 103.B 104.B 105.C
【导语】本文主要介绍的是关于赤脚走路的信息。
101.根据第一段“We have many ways to get close to nature, such as dancing in the rain, stepping on fallen leaves or digging in the soil, but my favourite is walking barefoot (赤脚).”可知作者最喜欢的亲近自然的方式是赤脚走路,即不穿鞋走路。
102.根据第三段“If your feet hurt, take a break or curtail the time.”可知当脚疼的时候,要么休息要么缩短时间,curtail意思是“减少,缩短”,与C选项“Reduce”意思相符。
103.根据文中“Choose safe places, like soft grass or warm sand.”以及“Stay away from things like rocks or broken glass.”等安全提示可知,赤脚走路要找安全的地方。
104.第四段先是提到赤脚走路并不总是安全的,有健康问题的人应避免,在寒冷或潮湿环境中行走可能导致健康问题,接着给出了一些安全提示,所以这一段主要讲的是赤脚走路可能存在的风险和安全提示。
105.文章开篇指出最喜欢的亲近自然的方式是赤脚走路,接着介绍了赤脚走路的好处、开始练习的方法、存在的风险以及安全提示等,整体围绕赤脚走路展开,C选项“The information about walking barefoot.”符合。

My sister Lisa had autism (孤独症). She was shy in crowds and had trouble fitting in. She often locked herself in her own world and she could not look people in the eye. In many ways, she was weird (怪异的). So I never mentioned in public that she was my sister. However, an event changed me.
At the end of Grade Six, Lisa and her classmates had to perform (表演), whether in a group or individually (单独地), according to the school rules. As you can imagine, Lisa was the only one left without a group.
“I’ll sing,” she told us. Hearing that, I was completely shocked. “No!” I cried out. My parents shot me a look and that was when I knew my sister was going to perform, no matter what.
That day came. I sat in the hall, waiting for the performance. Soon it was Lisa’s turn. It took her about a whole minute to stammer (结巴) her name and class. My face burned with shame, and time seemed to stand still. How I wished I wasn’t there! After what seemed like ages, Lisa started to sing. To my great surprise, she sang so sweetly, like an angel (天使).

Have you ever wanted to read a good book in a quiet, green place? Now in China, there are some bookstores in parks. They let people read close to nature.
Chengdu was the first city to put forward the idea of a “park city”. It has mixed bookstores with parks and greenways. For example, “Jinshu Lai” is such a nice reading place on the Jinjiang Greenway. It is built with wood and glass, and its roof (屋顶) looks like open book pages. The design is inspired by Li Qingzhao’s poem. Besides, in Chengdu’s old streets like Kuanzhai Alley, bookstores have teamed up with art shops to bring historic areas back to life.
Elsewhere, this trend (趋势) is also on the rise. For example, at a bookstore on Guishan Mountain in Wuhan, readers can enjoy great views of famous landmarks (地标) like the Yangtze River Bridge while they read. In Beijing, bookstores in Beihai Park are now mixed with cafes (咖啡馆) and restaurants, so visitors can stay much longer than in a usual city bookstore. In the future, more cities plan to create mixed places like “Coffee Factory” along the greenway, based on the “book + coffee” style.
For many visitors, these park bookstores are a wonderful mix of relaxation and learning. By bringing together green space and culture, these special bookstores offer a fresher and healthier way for everyone to enjoy the simple pleasure of reading outdoors.
116.What is different about park bookstores?
A.They are big and modern. B.They are close to the busy city.

Passage 1
(26·天津武清区·二模)
It could almost be an act from a funny cartoon: A marmot (土拨鼠) jumps up with its mouth open in great surprise and stands on one foot. What was happening to the little one? A fox (狐狸) drew close silently from behind and was about to catch it!
This amazing picture, named “The Moment” was taken by Chinese photographer Yongqing Bao. It has won him the prize as Wildlife Photographer of the Year. He took the picture on a grassland in China’s Qilian Mountains in early spring.
People say it’s a powerful picture of both humor and horror (恐惧)! It includes the fun and danger of nature. For a photograph, it is quite simply the perfect moment.
In fact, Bao had watched the two animals for some time. Around an hour earlier before he caught the act, the marmot had noticed the fox. But it didn’t notice the fox lying low and still. Believing there was no risk of being seen, the marmot finally came out to find food. In a very short while, the fox ran forward. Thanks to his quick response (反应), Bao was able to record nature’s final match—a fight for living.
121.What is the writer talking about in the passage?
A.A film. B.A picture. C.A video. D.A book.

【详解】121.第一段和第二段都围绕一张照片展开:“This amazing picture, named ‘The Moment’ was taken by Chinese photographer Yongqing Bao”,全文核心是介绍这张照片。
122.第一段明确指出:“A fox drew close silently from behind and was about to catch it!”,土拨鼠张嘴惊讶是因为狐狸即将抓住它。
123.第四段开头指出:“In fact, Bao had watched the two animals for some time. Around an hour earlier before he caught the act...”,说明他已经观察了这两只动物大约一小时后才拍下照片。
124.第二段明确说明:“It has won him the prize as Wildlife Photographer of the Year”,D选项与此完全一致。
125.第二段提到:“He took the picture on a grassland in China’s Qilian Mountains”,说明土拨鼠生活在祁连山地区,B正确。
Passage 2
(26·天津东丽区·二模)
Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives.
To start with, people were not able to travel such a long distance in such a short time in the past. Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and we can take many other fast and comfortable vehicles, such as cars and high-speed trains.
Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools we have today. Today, most of the difficult and dangerous work is done by computers and machines.
Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. There were no bathrooms or running water in many houses, and many people could not buy things like refrigerators, TV sets or washing machines. Now, most families have several of these things.
Lastly, communications have become much easier than before. In the past, we kept in touch with others by writing letters or sending faxes (传真), but now we have many other ways to choose from, such as making a phone call, sending e-mails or messages and chatting online. Moreover, we can even see the people whom we are making a phone call with through mobile phones, and we can see each other while chatting online. The most surprising thing is that we can make a phone call with the astronauts and see them when they are in space. What a magical thing!
Thanks to the technology, especially the Internet, our lives have become much easier and happier than before. I’m sure they will become more wonderful in the future. Don’t you think so?
126.Why were planes not so popular many years ago?

Passage 4
(26·天津和平区·二模)
In Luleå, a city in northern Sweden (瑞典), people are asked to say “hello” to each other more often. The new campaign (活动) is called Säg hej!, meaning “say hello”. It is a simple way to connect people, but a very big step for the city.
Swedish culture values privacy (隐私) and interpersonal distance (人际距离) so much that it has caused loneliness especially in Luleå where the sun only shines around three hours a day in the winter months. People usually like to stay warm at home alone. While most people believe that loneliness is the commonest among the elderly who usually live alone, the opposite is true. It is actually rising in young people and it has a bad influence on their mental (精神的) and physical health. A study about Luleå found that 45% of people aged 16—29 were experiencing problems because of loneliness.
Asa Koski, who works for the city, came up with the idea of the Säg hej! campaign. “The city is developing fast and more people are coming. We don’t just want Luleå to grow to be a big city. We also want it to be a safe, friendly and happy place where there’s culture, relaxing activities, and sports,” Koski said. “Greeting people makes them feel like they belong. Research shows that it has a good effect on health and makes people want to help each other. If you say hi to your neighbors, you are more likely to help them,” Koski said.
The activity is now being encouraged on buses and in schools. There are even workshops on how to greet one another. Many people agree that saying hello should be encouraged and believe that the more international the city becomes, the friendlier people will become. “It’s really good that people say hello to each other,” 61-year-old Pontus Wikström, said. “It means that people who meet without knowing each other become a little bit happier.”
136.What do we know about the people in Luleå?
A.The elderly are the loneliest. B.Many young people live alone.
C.The cold weather makes them lonelier. D.They keep a distance when talking to each other.
137.Koski started the campaign of Säg hej! to ________.
A.encourage people to stay healthy B.invite people to travel around Luleå
C.let more people know about the city D.create a better environment for people
138.Which group has the most serious loneliness problem in Luleå?
A.The elderly living alone. B.Old people with families.
C.Young people aged 16 - 29. D.Workers in the city.
139.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Greeting people. B.Helping each other.
C.Living in the city. D.Taking part in activities.
140.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Loneliness among the Swedish elderly B.A new campaign brings people together
C.Ways to improve body health D.City development in modern Sweden
【答案】136.C 137.D 138.C 139.A 140.B
【导语】本文介绍了瑞典北部城市卢勒奥发起的“Säg hej!”(打招呼)活动。当地文化重视隐私与人际距离,加上冬季日照极短,孤独问题在年轻人中尤为突出,因此城市发起这项活动,鼓励人们互相问候,改善人际氛围,缓解孤独感。
【详解】136.根据“People usually like to stay warm at home alone.”可知,冬天的极夜和寒冷让人们倾向于独自待在家里,进而加剧了社交孤立与孤独(loneliness)。C选项是对原文环境描写与心理结果的合理因果推论。A. The elderly are the loneliest.(老年人最孤独)—— 与原文相反。第二段明确说 “the opposite is true”(相反的是真的,年轻人反而更严重)。B. Many young people live alone.(许多年轻人独自居住)—— 偷换概念。原文说老年人通常独自居住(who usually live alone),年轻人是孤独感在上升,没说年轻人独自居住。D. They keep a distance when talking to each other.(他们说话时保持距离)—— 曲解文意。原文第一句指他们重视人际距离(interpersonal distance),是一种社会文化心理,而不是物理上说话时要隔很远。
137.根据Koski的话“We also want it to be a safe, friendly and happy place where there’s culture, relaxing activities, and sports”可知,她发起活动的目的是让卢勒奥成为一个安全、友好、快乐的地方,即为人们创造更好的生活环境,因此D选项正确。A选项“鼓励人们保持健康”、B选项“邀请人们游览卢勒奥”、C选项“让更多人了解这座城市” 均不是活动的初衷。
138.根据“A study about Luleå found that 45% of people aged 16—29 were experiencing problems because of loneliness”可知,16—29岁的年轻人中,有45%正受孤独问题困扰,这是文中明确提到的最高比例,因此他们的孤独问题最严重,C选项正确。A选项“独居的老年人”与文中“孤独问题在年轻人中上升”矛盾;B选项“有家庭的老人”、D选项“城市工人”文中未提及相关数据。
139.根据上下文“Greeting people makes them feel like they belong. Research shows that it has a good effect on health and makes people want to help each other.”可知,it指代前一句提到的“Greeting people(问候他人)”,研究表明问候他人对健康有积极影响,因此A选项正确。B选项“互相帮助”、C选项“住在城市里”、D选项“参加活动”均不符合上下文逻辑。
140.通读全文可知,文章围绕卢勒奥市发起的“Säg hej!”活动展开,介绍了活动背景、目的和积极影响,核心是“通过新活动拉近人际距离、缓解孤独”,因此B选项“一场新活动将人们凝聚在一起”最能概括全文主旨。A选项“瑞典老年人的孤独问题”片面;C选项“改善身体健康的方法”偏离主题;D选项“现代瑞典的城市发展”范围过大。
Passage 5
(26·天津宁河区·二模)
If you’re nearsighted, you can see close things clearly, but things far away look blurry (模糊的).This is a problem that is becoming more common in kids around the world. Research shows that spending a couple of hours outside every day can help stop or slow down nearsightedness, although it’s not clear why. One possible reason is that your eyes see more changes in light and more different shapes outside instead of just smooth, flat surfaces. This natural environment gives your eyes a kind of exercise, helping them stay healthy.
To test this idea, scientists in China decorated (装饰) indoor classrooms to look like woodlands. They covered walls and desks with pictures of trees and leaves. They painted the ceiling (天花板) to look like the sky. They tried to create as much stimulation for the eyes to see as you would get outdoors.
For one year, about 250 9-year-olds had their lessons in the woodland classrooms, while another 250 were taught in regular classrooms with white walls. At the end of the year, the scientists tested the children’s vision (视力) and found that the kids in the woodland classrooms showed fewer signs of nearsightedness. However, being in the decorated classrooms did not help kids who were already nearsighted. Experts say that decorating classrooms cannot replace spending time outdoors, but it might be better than nothing.
141.Why might spending time outside be good for eyes?
A.Because the air is cleaner outside.
B.Because the sun makes eyes brighter.
C.Because there are fewer things to look at.
D.Because eyes see more changes and shapes.
142.What can we know about the woodland classrooms?
A.They were built outside. B.They had strong light.
C.They had white walls. D.They had tree pictures on walls.
143.The word “stimulation” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ________ ”.
A.something that makes you feel tired
B.something that helps you relax and sleep
C.something that causes pain in your eyes
D.something that makes your eyes active
144.The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.indoor classes can replace outdoor activities
B.woodland classrooms might be good for kids’ eyesight
C.nearsighted kids can get better in new classrooms
D.regular classrooms are better than woodland ones
145.In which part of a magazine can we find the passage?
A.Health. B.Travel. C.Culture. D.Art.
【答案】141.D 142.D 143.D 144.B 145.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了近视问题及相关研究,探讨了户外活动对预防近视的作用,以及模拟自然环境的“森林教室”对减缓近视发展的影响。
【详解】141.文中第一段提到“One possible reason is that your eyes see more changes in light and more different shapes outside instead of just smooth, flat surfaces.”,这直接说明户外活动对眼睛有益的原因是眼睛能看到更多光线变化和不同形状,因此选项D符合原文信息。
142.文中第二段提到“They covered walls and desks with pictures of trees and leaves.”,说明“森林教室”的墙壁上贴有树木和树叶的图片,因此选项D符合原文信息。
143.文中第二段提到“They tried to create as much stimulation for the eyes to see as you would get out-doors.”,结合上下文,这种“stimulation”指的是第一段结尾提到的“natural environment gives your eyes a kind of exercise, helping them stay healthy”能让眼睛像在户外一样得到锻炼、保持活跃的刺激,因此选项D符合原文信息。
144.文中第三段提到“At the end of the year, the scientists tested the children’s vision and found that the kids in the woodland classrooms showed fewer signs of near-sightedness.”,这直接说明森林教室可能对孩子的视力有益,因此选项B符合原文信息。
145.全文围绕近视预防、视力健康等话题展开,属于健康领域的科普文章,因此这类文章最可能出现在杂志的健康板块,选项A符合原文信息。

Passage 1
(26·天津滨海新区·二模)
2025 was one of the warmest years in global (全球的) weather history, and the polar regions (极地) are getting hotter than ever before, according to China’s National Climate Center. Can you believe it? The Arctic (北极) and Antarctic (南极) are losing their ice homes quickly, and this is not just a faraway problem. Polar bears can’t find enough ice to hunt on, and cute penguins are losing their living places. The rising temperature is a big red flag for our whole planet, and we can’t ignore (忽视) it anymore.
But don’t worry—we teenagers can make a difference! We can start with small things in daily life: turn off lights and computers when we don’t use them, ride bikes or take buses instead of cars, and plant trees with our families. We can also tell our friends and relatives about the polar warming problem, so more people join in the action. The poles are far away, but our love and efforts can reach them. Let’s work together to cool down our Earth and protect the lovely polar animals!
Why is this happening? The main reason is human activity. We burn too much coal and oil for energy, which sends greenhouse gases into the air. These gases trap (锁住) heat like a thick blanket (毛毯) around the Earth, making it warmer and warmer. Cutting down too many trees also makes things worse, because trees can take in the harmful gases and cool the planet. Every small choice we make, like leaving the lights on or using plastic bags, adds up to this big problem.
146.What do we know about 2025 from the passage?
A.It was the coldest year in history.
B.Ice in polar regions is increasing.
C.It was one of the warmest years on record.
D.Polar regions are getting colder and colder.
147.What can teenagers do to help the planet?
A.Use more plastic bags.
B.Turn off lights when not using them.
C.Cut down a lot of old trees.
D.Burn too much coal and oil.
148.How do greenhouse gases make the Earth warmer?
A.They trap heat like a thick blanket.
B.They use too much energy.
C.They produce more plastic bags.
D.They cut down a lot of trees.
149.Why is cutting down trees harmful to the planet?
A.Trees make harmful air and heat.
B.Trees drink too much water every day.
C.Trees take up land people need.
D.Trees take in bad gases and cool the Earth.
150.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To teach people about trips to the poles.
B.To tell how people make coal and oil today.
C.To ask people to stop the Earth from getting hot.
D.To show people some animals in the North and South.
【答案】146.C 147.B 148.A 149.D 150.C
【导语】本文是一篇环保说明文,指出2025年是全球最温暖的年份之一,极地地区升温导致北极熊和企鹅失去栖息地,分析了人类活动(燃烧化石燃料、砍伐森林)是主要原因。
【详解】146.第一段第一句明确指出:“2025 was one of the warmest years in global weather history.” 说明2025年是有记录以来最温暖的年份之一。
147.第二段明确指出:“We can start with small things in daily life: turn off lights and computers when we don’t use them...” 说明青少年可以通过关掉不用的灯和电脑来帮助地球。
148.第三段明确指出:“These gases trap heat like a thick blanket around the Earth, making it warmer and warmer.” 说明温室气体像厚毯子一样锁住热量,使地球变暖。

150.全文围绕极地变暖问题展开,分析了原因并呼吁青少年采取行动,因此文章的主要目的是呼吁人们阻止地球变暖。
Passage 2
(26·天津武清区·二模)
In many communities in Tianjin today, a new kind of machine is appearing near the gates. It is called the “Smart Recycling Station”. This system is changing the way people deal with their old clothes and waste.
The recycling station has a high-tech screen and different doors for different items (物品) , such as old clothes, paper, and plastic bottles. When someone wants to recycle something, they can scan a QRcode (二维码) with their phone or use a special card. Then, the right door will open automatically (自动地) .
Inside the station, there are sensors (传感器) and cameras. They can “see” and “weigh” the items. For example, if people put a bag of old clothes into the “Clothes” bin, the system will weigh the clothes and give “points” or money. These “points” can be used to buy daily things such as salt and tissues (纸巾) in a nearby shop. The system can send messages to the phones of workers in recycling companies when a bin is nearly full. In this way, workers don’t have to check every community, which saves a lot of time and energy.
“It makes recycling much more interesting,” says Wang Fang, a student from Tianjin. “In the past, my mother used to throw away old clothes or just leave them lying around. But now, she enjoys ‘selling’ them to the smart station. It helps keep our home tidy and protect the environment.”
Smart recycling is a great step for a “Green City”. It not only encourages people to recycle correctly but also makes our world a cleaner place to live.

A.By calling the worker. B.By knocking on the door.
C.By scanning a QR code. D.By putting in some money.
153.People can use their “points” to _________.
A.get new clothes for free B.pay for the recycling
C.open the station doors D.buy daily things
154.In Wang Fang’s opinion, the Smart Recycling Station _________.
A.makes recycling much more interesting B.is too difficult for her mother to use

Passage 3
(26·天津和平区·二模)
Even though African elephants are protected, many of them are still being killed for their ivory (象牙).
At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 million elephants walked around Africa, but today, their numbers have fallen to around 450,000. This is mainly caused by illegal (非法的) hunting for ivory. This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20,000 African elephants each year.
Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been considered precious. Its unusual look has led to its use in lots of expensive things, including jewellery (珠宝), musical instruments and art. And the ivory material (材料) itself can stand the test of time. So many people would like to pay a high price for ivory products.
Luckily, some scientists are working hard to achieve the same beauty of ivory without killing any animals. Thaddäa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the ivory called “Digory”. The high-tech ivory is made from synthetic resin (合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles (磷酸钙颗粒). It’s first formed into the shape by a 3D printer. And then it is color-matched and colored. Next, it is polished (抛光) to make it look like real natural ivory.
Although Digory looks so real that it is hard to tell it from real ivory, its chemical structure (化学结构) is completely different from that of the real one. Scientists have made some achievements, but we still need to do more research to make sure that it is widely used. It’s still hopeful that scientists will be able to protect African elephants by making high-tech materials to replace the real ivory.
156.How does the writer show the dangerous situations of elephants?
A.By telling a story. B.By listing numbers.
C.By taking examples. D.By asking a question.
157.What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Ancient. B.Simple. C.Valuable. D.Modern.
158.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Why ivory products are popular. B.What people can do to save elephants.
C.Where the ivory trade is the most popular. D.How the scientists develop the high-tech ivory.
159.What do we know about making “Digory”?
① Its cost. ② Its time. ③ Its steps. ④ Its materials.
A.①② B.③④ C.①③ D.②④
160.The writer probably agrees that ________.
A.technology can replace people to create art
B.it won’t take long to make Digory widely used
C.it’s difficult for people to accept high-tech products
D.the use of technology can support the protection of wildlife
【答案】156.B 157.C 158.A 159.B 160.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕非洲大象的生存危机展开,介绍了大象因非法象牙贸易数量锐减的现状、象牙制品受欢迎的原因,以及科学家研发高科技替代材料保护大象的尝试,传递了“科技助力野生动物保护”的观点。
156.文中用具体数据呈现大象的生存危机,如“over 1.3 million elephants... fallen to around 450,000... deaths of at least 20,000 African elephants each year”,通过列出数据直观体现数量锐减。
157.根据原文第三段“Ivory, also known as ‘white gold’, has long been considered precious... used in lots of expensive things... many people would like to pay a high price for ivory products” 可知,象牙价值很高,因此“precious”意为 “珍贵的、有价值的”,与“valuable”同义。
158.根据原文第三段“its unusual look has led to its use in lots of expensive things... the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. So many people would like to pay a high price for ivory products”,可知第三段解释了象牙制品受欢迎的原因 —— 独特的外观、耐用的特性使其成为昂贵物品的原料,人们愿意为其支付高价。
159.根据原文第四段“The high-tech ivory is made from synthetic resin and calcium phosphate particles. It’s first formed into the shape by a 3D printer. And then it is color-matched and colored. Next, it is polished to make it look like real natural ivory”可知,文中介绍了Digory的制作材料和制作步骤,未提及成本和制作时间,因此③Its steps和④Its materials 正确。
160.根据原文最后一段“It’s still hopeful that scientists will be able to protect African elephants by making high-tech materials to replace the real ivory”可知,作者认为科技手段可以通过替代材料支持野生动物保护。
