专题04 阅读理解（说明文） 主题01 人与社会——发明创造 Passage 1 （2026·江苏盐城市鹿鸣路初级中学·二模） Have you ever wondered why some bikes are so light and strong? They may use a special material called carbon fiber (碳纤维), which is also found in some parts of modern planes. It is changing our life in many ways. On March 11, 2026, China showed the world’s first T1200-grade carbon fiber. This shows China’s great progress in advanced materials. T1200 carbon fiber was developed by China National Building Material Group. It is one of the best technologies today. This black material is thinner than one-tenth of a human hair. But it is 10 times stronger than common steel, and only a quarter of its weight. Most importantly, unlike steel, it is made of carbon, and therefore never rusts (生锈), even in wet places or environments. Because it is light, strong and rust-proof, it is widely used in many high-tech areas, including sixth-generation fighter planes and humanoid robots. It helps solve big material problems for modern machines. However, it is not easy to make this material in large numbers. It needs very good fibers, strict control, high-temperature heating and special machines. It also needs smart cost control. Making a lot of this material needs many resources and high energy. Now China has built a strong system that connects market needs, new technology and industrial support. And China has become the first country to produce T1200 carbon fiber at the 100-ton level a year. Undoubtedly, this is a huge step forward for China’s high-tech industry. New materials are very important for new industries. They are key to our country’s scientific and technological development. T1200 carbon fiber shows Chinese creativity and modern technology. As it develops further, it will bring more changes to our lives and help us build a better future. 1．Why does the writer start the passage with a question? A．To test the readers’ knowledge. B．To show his interest in bikes. C．To compare different kinds of materials. D．To introduce the topic of carbon fiber. 2．What do we know about T1200 carbon fiber from Paragraph 2? A．It is much thicker than human hair. B．It stays in good condition when it’s wet. C．It is 10 times lighter than common steel.

They used an AI coding tool called Codex to create a mobile app that helps elderly people remember to take their medicine on time. The app, named “MediPal”, won first prize in the National Youth Technology Innovation Competition. The team leader, 14-year-old Zhang Wei, said the idea came from his grandmother. “She has to take five different pills every day, but she often forgets which one to take when,” Zhang explained. “I wanted to build something simple, but I had zero coding experience. That’s when I discovered Codex.” Codex is an AI system developed by OpenAI that translates natural language commands into computer code. A user can type something like “create a button that says ‘morning medicine’ and when clicked, it shows a picture of a red pill,” and Codex will generate the actual programming code. The students spent two months learning how to use Codex effectively, testing over 200 versions before they were satisfied. “The hardest part was not the coding,” said team member Li Na, 13. “Codex handled that. The hardest part was understanding what elderly users really needed. We visited three nursing homes and interviewed 45 senior citizens. Many told us that the text on most apps is too small. So we made our buttons extra large and added voice reminders.” The app has four main functions: a medicine schedule with picture identification, voice alerts that read the medicine name aloud, a refill reminder when pills are running low, and an emergency call button that connects directly to a family member. What makes MediPal special is that it works offline—no internet connection is required. Professor Chen from Zhejiang University judged the competition. “What impressed me most was not the technology itself, but how these students used AI to solve a real human problem,” he said. “They didn’t just build an app; they built a solution with empathy.” The Hangzhou government has decided to provide free downloads of MediPal to all elderly citizens in the city starting in July. Zhang Wei and his team are now working on an English version. 1．What is Codex according to the passage? A．A mobile app for elderly people. B．An AI tool that writes computer code from human language. C．A competition for young technology innovators. D．A medicine reminder system used in nursing homes. 2．What was the most difficult part of creating MediPal? A．Learning how to use Codex. B．Testing over 200 versions of the app. C．Understanding what elderly users needed. D．Making the app work without the internet. 3．Which of the following is NOT a function of MediPal? A．Picture identification for medicines. B．Voice alerts that read medicine names. C．A chat room for elderly users to talk to each other. D．An emergency call button to family members. 4．What did Professor Chen mainly praise about the students’ work? A．Their coding skills using Codex. B．Their ability to win the competition. C．Their empathy in solving a real problem. D．Their hard work in visiting nursing homes. 5．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The app will only be available in Chinese. B．The government will charge money for the app. C．The team is expanding the app to reach more users. D．The students have stopped working on the project. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文讲述了2026年3月，杭州的一群中学生利用AI编程工具Codex，开发了一款名为“MediPal”的老年用药提醒App，并在全国青少年科技创新大赛中获得一等奖的故事。 【详解】 1．第三段“Codex is an AI system... that translates natural language commands into computer code”：文章明确指出Codex是一个能将自然语言指令转化为计算机代码的 AI 系统，与选项B描述一致。 2．第四段团队成员Li Na所说“The hardest part was understanding what elderly users really needed”：创建过程中最困难的部分是理解老年用户的真正需求。 3．根据第五段列举的四个主要功能“medicine schedule with picture identification, voice alerts, refill reminder, emergency call button”可知，文中并未提及“聊天室（chat room）”功能。 4．第六段Professor Chen的评价“What impressed me most was... how these students used AI to solve a real human problem... built a solution with empathy”：他主要赞扬的是学生用同理心解决实际问题。 5．根据最后一段“Zhang Wei and his team are now working on an English version”可推断，团队正在开发英文版本，意在扩大应用范围以服务更多用户。 主题02 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （2026·江苏苏州工业园区金鸡湖中学·二模） Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying (识别) animals in an area—by testing DNA in the air. The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals. Two teams of scientists—one in Denmark and one in the United Kingdom—came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air? Every living thing has DNA that can be used to identify it. They leave bits of DNA behind them wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is called “environmental” DNA, or eDNA．Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. Testing for eDNA isn’t a new idea. But most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly (稍微) different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to collect tiny bits of DNA． In the laboratory, by comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had rare animals not naturally found in the area. Each team only discovered about the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. The two decided to combine (合并) their results and publish a paper together. Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. The researchers believe the method could help scientists a lot. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering (干扰) with them. If researchers know where the animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature. 1．What is the primary purpose of using eDNA according to the article? A．To prevent DNA of animals from floating in the air. B．To attract rare animals to zoos for better protection. C．To identify animals by testing DNA found in the air. D．To save endangered animals away from all the diseases. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about the two teams of scientists? A．They knew each other very well before. B．They found more rare animals for zoos. C．They worked together to publish a paper. D．They used quite different methods to collect DNA． 3．What does the underlined phrase “keep track of” in paragraph 1 mean? A．protect B．follow C．discover D．feed 4．What is the article mainly about? A．Proper ways of studying rare animals. B．Differences between DNA and eDNA． C．Challenges of protecting endangered animals. D．The eDNA Testing for Animal Identification. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文介绍丹麦和英国两支科研团队各自研究通过空气中的环境DNA（eDNA）识别动物的新方法，在动物园完成采样实验后合并研究成果共同发表论文，该新技术未来有望在野外用于追踪和保护濒危动物。 【详解】 1．第一段指出：“Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying (识别) animals in an area—by testing DNA in the air.”，第三段指出：“DNA left behind like this is called ‘environmental’ DNA, or eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place.”，两句说明eDNA的用途是借助空气中的DNA识别动物。 2．第六段指出：“The two decided to combine (合并) their results and publish a paper together.”，能够证明两支科研团队合作发表论文。 3．第一段指出：“their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot”，该方法用来找寻、追踪难以发现的动物，keep track of意为追踪，和follow含义一致。 4．全文围绕科学家研发利用空气中eDNA识别动物的检测技术展开，介绍实验过程、实验成果与应用前景。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏常州市武进区·二模） Have you ever wished for a super-smart study partner who is always ready to help?

Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade. The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value. Yunjin, with a history of over 1,600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process (过程) is so long and complex that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for the royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces. It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests. With the development of technology and changes in people's lifestyle, young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a lot of time and practice. To pass down the skill of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957. Today, yunjin is not only a kind of traditional art but also a symbol of Chinese culture. In 2009, it was listed as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage (世界非物质文化遗产). More and more young people are starting to learn about and love this beautiful ancient art. 1．Why does Yunjin have high collecting value? A．Because it has a long history. B．Because it is made of valuable materials. C．Because it has the best quality. D．Because it is made by huge wooden looms. 2．What does the underlined word “complex” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Difficult. B．Different. C．Common. D．Expensive. 3．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．All young people now have great interest in learning yunjin. B．Modern machines will soon take the place of hand-made yunjin. C．The Chinese government has taken action to protect yunjin. D．Yunjin has lost its value and will disappear in the near future. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 【导语】本文介绍南京云锦，从原料、悠久历史、织造工艺、古代用途以及如今的保护传承等方面展开，讲述云锦的珍贵价值与非遗发展现状。 【详解】 1．由第一段“The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value.”可知云锦用料昂贵，因此收藏价值很高。 2．由第二段“The process (过程) is so long and complex that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines.”可知云锦织造耗时极久，工序繁琐，complex意为复杂的，难的。 3．由第三段“To pass down the skill of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957.”可知国家成立研究所传承云锦技艺，能推出政府在采取措施保护云锦。 主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （2026·江苏盐城市盐都区·二模） China, the birthplace of paper money, is now leading the way to a cashless society. About 1,400 years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, people began using paper as a promise to pay for objects. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty made the first official paper money. In the last decade, paper money has become less common, and China is now leading the cashless trend (趋势). Living in China, I never take cash or a wallet. But when I travel abroad, I have to use cash again. That is a problem because of spending limits and big bills. This change is even harder for young people born between 1981 and 1999. They almost never use cash in their adult lives. However, some people still take cash in China because they feel safer, worrying about app problems or no phone signal (信号). For festivals and gifts, people still use cash in red packets, but young people now like digital red packets better. They can spend the money directly from their app wallets. Unlike Sweden and Norway, which use card-based cashless systems, China’s cashless life is built around mobile phones. There is even facial recognition (人脸识别) payment that does not need a phone at all. Some places in the world do not want to accept this convenience because of trust problems. But people in China trust their government and happily welcome this easy cashless trend. 1．When did the government first officially produce paper money in China? A．During the Tang Dynasty. B．During the Northern Song Dynasty. C．In recent ten years. D．Between 1981 and 1999. 2．Why do some people still carry cash in China? A．Because they don’t know how to use phones. B．Because they like using large bills every day. C．Because they don’t like digital red packets. D．Because they worry about app problems or no phone signal. 3．What does the underlined word “convenience” mean in the last paragraph? A．Something difficult and boring. B．Something modern and creative. C．Something easy and comfortable. D．Something expensive and useless. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The popular use of digital red packets. B．The cashless situation of foreign countries. C．The long history of Chinese paper money. D．The development of China’s cashless society. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国作为纸币的发源地，如今正引领无现金社会的发展趋势，内容涵盖纸币的历史演变、国内无现金支付的普及现状、人们仍使用现金的原因，以及中国与其他国家无现金支付模式的差异。 【详解】 1．根据文章第一段中“Later, the Northern Song Dynasty made the first official paper money.”，指出北宋时期发行了世界上最早的官方纸币，这是中国开始发行纸币的时间。 2．根据文章第二段中“However, some people still take cash in China because they feel safer, worrying about app problems or no phone signal(信号).”，说明人们携带现金的核心原因是担心支付应用程序故障或手机无信号，影响使用。 3．根据上下文，中国的无现金支付（包括人脸识别支付）让消费变得轻松便捷，而“Some places in the world do not want to accept this convenience because of trust problems”中的“convenience”指代这种便捷的支付方式，意为“便利、方便”，与C选项“Something easy and comfortable（轻松舒适的事物）”的含义一致。 4．全文以“无现金社会”为核心，从纸币的历史演变讲起，重点介绍了中国无现金支付的普及现状、使用场景、模式特点及民众接受度，因此主旨是“中国无现金社会的发展”。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏连云港市新海初级中学·二模） You might see headlines of “raising lobster” recently online, but the “lobster” is not the kind you’d find on the dining table. It’s a new AI agent called OpenClaw. Using a red lobster as its symbol, it was developed by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger. In China, many people have set up this AI on their computers, which they jokingly call “raising lobster”. We’ve already had AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek. They can advise us on what to do, but they can’t reach into the real world to do it for us. Also, they only “talk” when asked. OpenClaw, on the other hand, “actually does things”. For example, it can send emails and buy plane tickets for us. OpenClaw also has a long “memory”. Over time, it learns what you like and follows your plans. You can wake up in the morning to a message about your top three tasks without even having to ask the AI first. This proactivity (主动性) is made possible by something called a “heartbeat”, according to Claire Vo, a US scientist. She explained that a heartbeat is a timer that goes off regularly (定时). With each “heartbeat”, the AI checks what comes next. However, OpenClaw collects a lot of personal information from users. In February, researchers found that some important information from OpenClaw had been put online without telling the users. Hackers (黑客) could use this to control users’ computers. The Chinese government has given its first-ever warnings about this kind of AI, telling people to be careful while using it. 1．What question does the first paragraph mainly answer? A．What is “raising lobster”? B．Who developed OpenClaw? C．Why is OpenClaw special? D．How does OpenClaw work? 2．How is OpenClaw different from other AI tools? A．It owns a real heart. B．It helps its users with real tasks. C．It has a shorter memory. D．It provides better advice for people. 3．What can the “heartbeat” help OpenClaw do? A．Learn what users like. B．Talk with users when asked. C．Check what to do next. D．Protect users from hackers. 4．Why has the government warned people to be careful with OpenClaw? A．People can be controlled by it. B．It gives out users’ private information. C．Users have spent too much money on it. D．Setting it up on computers is very difficult. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了被网民戏称为“养龙虾”的新型人工智能智能体OpenClaw，说明了它相较于传统人工智能的特点、工作原理，以及其存在的隐私安全风险，提醒使用者注意信息安全。 【详解】 1．第一段“You might see headlines of ‘raising lobster’ recently online, but the ‘lobster’ is not the kind you’d find on the dining table. It’s a new AI agent called OpenClaw...In China, many people have set up this AI on their computers, which they jokingly call ‘raising lobster’”，第一段核心内容是解释“养龙虾”是什么。 2．第二段“We’ve already had AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek. They can advise us on what to do, but they can’t reach into the real world to do it for us. Also, they only “talk” when asked. OpenClaw, on the other hand, “actually does things”，OpenClaw和其他AI工具的区别是它可以帮助用户完成真实世界的任务。 3．第四段“With each ‘heartbeat’, the AI checks what comes next.”，说明“心跳”可以帮助OpenClaw检查接下来要做的事。 4．第五段“However, OpenClaw collects a lot of personal information from users. In February, researchers found that some important information from OpenClaw had been put online without telling the users.”，政府警告人们谨慎使用该AI的原因是它会泄露用户的私人信息。 Passage 3 （2026·江苏常熟昆承中学集团校·二模） The Drama Festival will run in and outside China from June 20 to July 7. Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology,” says Liu Chang, manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, inspired by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online. Zhou Xiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30 to July 2. Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes. “The stage design is done by AI, which is like an assistant realizing the ideas of me and my team,” says Liu, “Now I try to use the latest technology, such as ChatGPT, to write the script, and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama—a scene to dream. 1．Which of the following is true according to this passage?

But do you know some of the fastest living things on Earth are very small cells? If cells had their own Olympics, who would win the speed game? Manu Prakash, a scientist at Stanford University, says the “competitors” won’t show up ready to compete. “We have to go search in puddles and ponds and in the deep ocean,” he says. His team collected information on the speed of different cells to compare them. So how do these tiny speeders move? Some fast cells jump or slide across water. Others move by waving long, thin parts that look like whips (鞭子), or swim with the help of tiny, hair-like parts. There are also speedy cells that do not move from one place to another but grow bigger or become smaller very quickly, and this makes them special “speed players” too. Take Spirostomum, for example. In Liberia, Prakash saw many white spots in a pond. They were not spread out randomly. He took a sample (样本) and found this single-celled creature. It can shrink (缩小) its body faster than any other eukaryote (真核生物) — a living thing whose cells have a nucleus. Why does it shrink so fast? Prakash says it’s part of how it communicates. “It actually talks to other cells … using sound underwater.” Another amazing cell is Pyrocystis. These algae (水藻) do not swim, but they make a huge journey. Prakash found them deep in the ocean near Hawaii. They need sunlight to live, but how do they get it? The algae can inflate like a balloon to five times their size and then shrink back down. This allows them to travel about one kilometer up to the sunlit surface. Compared to their size, that is the longest journey on Earth. Prakash has found many super-fast cells in different places. These unusual living things help us learn more about the secret of life. “This planet is full of amazing things,” he says. “When we study and compare them, we will find how wonderful life is.” 1．Why does the writer mention cheetahs and falcons at the beginning of the passage? A．To show that they are the fastest animals on Earth. B．To compare their speed with the speed of fast cells. C．To introduce the topic of the fastest small cells. D．To prove that big animals are usually faster than small ones. 2．Where did Manu Prakash find the fast cells? A．In rivers and cities. B．In space and on other planets. C．In high mountains and forests. D．In puddles, ponds and the deep ocean. 3．What does the word “inflate” in Paragraph 5 most likely mean? A．blow up B．take off C．calm down D．break down 4．What can we learn about the “speed” of cells from the passage? A．It is measured by how fast a cell moves from one place to another. B．It can be understood in different ways, including changes in a cell’s size. C．It mainly depends on a cell’s ability to swim using whips or hair-like parts. D．It has been fully studied by scientists like Manu Prakash around the world. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍了地球上一些速度极快的微小细胞，包括它们的运动方式、发现地点以及“速度”的多种含义。 【详解】 1．根据第1段“When you think of fast animals, cheetahs and falcons may come to mind. But do you know some of the fastest living things on Earth are very small cells?”可知，提到猎豹和猎鹰是为了引出本文话题——极速微型细胞。选项C符合题意。 2．根据第2段“We have to go search in puddles and ponds and in the deep ocean”可知，他在水坑、池塘和深海中寻找并发现了这些细胞。选项D符合题意。 3．根据第5段“The algae can inflate like a balloon to five times their size”可知，水藻像气球一样膨胀到原来的五倍大，inflate意为“吹大、膨胀”，即blow up。 4．根据第3段“There are also speedy cells that do not move from one place to another but grow bigger or become smaller very quickly”和第5段水藻通过膨胀缩小来移动可知，细胞的“速度”可以有不同的理解方式，包括细胞大小的变化。选项B符合题意。 Passage 2 （2026·江苏苏州高新区实验中学·二模） ①Take a look at the two shapes in the picture. Which one do you think is “kiki” and which one is “bouba”? This is part of a famous bouba-kiki experiment done in both America and India. ②In the experiment, people were shown two drawings. One had a rounded shape, and the other had a star-like shape. People had to name each of them with “bouba” or “kiki”. Both of these words were not real words in any language and had no meaning. However, 95% of people decided the rounded one was “bouba”, and the star-like one was “kiki”. ③The experiment shows our brains seem to connect sounds with shapes. The researchers believe the results have something to do with the mouth shapes we make when we say these words. Pronouncing “bouba” requires the mouth to make a rounded shape. Other examples of “rounded” sounds are oo in “room” and o in “wrote”. An unrounded mouth shape is needed to make the sound of “kiki”. “Unrounded” sounds require the lips (嘴唇) to be spread apart, like ee in “peek” or a in “had”. ④Another explanation is that letters such as k or t are thought to have unrounded sounds because of their sharp (尖锐的) shapes. Letters like b or g have rounded shapes, so they are considered to have rounded and soft sounds. ⑤Understanding the bouba-kiki effect can lead to its possible use in fields like branding (品牌) and communication. For example, if a toy brand wants to show its softness and friendliness, it may follow the “bouba” effect and choose rounded shapes for the logo and rounded sounds for product names. Similarly, a technology company may turn to the “kiki” effect to show it’s sharp and powerful. So next time you want to design a logo for a school event or name a product, consider whether it feels more like “bouba” or “kiki”! 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a joke. C．By giving examples. D．By asking a question. 2．Why do people connect “bouba” with rounded shapes? A．Because the mouth forms a round shape when saying it. B．Because it sounds the same as “room” and “wrote”. C．Because it makes people think of soft and friendly things. D．Because the letter “b” has a very round shape. 3．Which brand best shows the “kiki” effect? A．Loops. B．Wubbo. C．Teeki. D．Bugaloo. 4．What is the correct structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“bouba-kiki效应”的实验现象、背后的科学原因，以及该效应在品牌设计、沟通等领域的实际应用。 【详解】 1．第①段第1-2句“Take a look at the two shapes in the picture. Which one do you think is ‘kiki’ and which one is ‘bouba’?”，文章开篇通过直接提问的方式引入实验话题，因此作者以“提问”的方式开篇。 2．第③段第三句“Pronouncing ‘bouba’ requires the mouth to make a rounded shape.”，原文明确说明，发“bouba”音时，嘴巴会形成圆形，这是人们将“bouba”与圆形联系起来的原因。 3．第④段、第⑤段“letters such as k or t are thought to have unrounded sounds because of their sharp shapes… a technology company may turn to the ‘kiki’ effect to show it’s sharp and powerful.”，“kiki效应”与尖锐、非圆唇的声音相关，品牌名中含k/t音的“Teeki”最能体现这一特点。 4．全文结构，第①②段：介绍实验；第③④段：分析现象背后的原因；第⑤段：说明该效应的实际应用。文章结构为“实验现象→原因分析→实际应用”，与选项A的结构划分一致。 Passage 3 （2026·江苏苏州市西安交通大学苏州附属初级中学·二模） Do you know the five main senses we have? They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. Brains are also life-saving heroes. Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors (祖先) were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming when they feel knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Scientists have done much research on the brain, but there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey 1．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．People see flower pictures faster than spiders. B．Spiders and tigers are the most dangerous animals. C．The brain helps us react quickly to possible dangers. D．Scientists have fully understood how our brains work. 2．Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? A． B． C． D． 3．According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A．You can tie your shoes without looking. B．You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C．You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D．You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. 4．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A．To improve people’s memory. B．To encourage brain studies. C．To show the value of our brains. D．To admire scientists’ efforts. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 【分析】本文是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了大脑对人体感官的调控作用、大脑相关的趣味知识，呼吁人们开启对大脑的探索之旅。 【详解】 1．第二段内容，作者提出“Brains are also life-saving heroes”，随后说明人类会更快识别危险事物、对危险刺激更快做出反应，这种能力来自祖先自我保护的演化，可推知大脑能够帮助我们对潜在危险快速做出反应。 2．第二段“Our ancestors were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives.”，predator指会威胁人类生命的危险食肉动物，四幅图中第一张图为老虎，符合predator的定义。 3．第三段“Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle.”，看到苹果时尝到甜味符合不同感官交织的感官混合特征。 4．最后一段“Scientists have done much research on the brain, but there’s still a lot to do...Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey”，本段写作目的是鼓励人们继续开展对大脑的研究。 主题03 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 （2026·江苏连云港市灌南县·二模） In China, the art of paper cutting has a history of over 1,500 years. It is often used to decorate doors and windows during festivals. “Paper cutting is not just about cutting paper,” says Ms. Chen, a master of this art. “You must think about the meaning behind each pattern. A fish means ‘more than enough every year’. A bat means ‘good luck’.” Ms. Chen started learning paper cutting when she was seven. At first, she could only cut simple shapes. After years of practice, she can now cut a detailed dragon in just ten minutes. Today, fewer young people are learning paper cutting. To change this, Ms. Chen gives free lessons in schools. “I want to pass on this treasure,” she says. A student named Liu Wei says, “I thought it was old-fashioned, but after Ms. Chen’s class, I find it really fun. I want to design my own patterns.” Ms. Chen believes that if more young people fall in love with it, paper cutting will never die. 1．What do fish patterns stand for in paper cutting? A．Good luck.

Later, she became a teacher, and now she runs a business. She is opening a Hanfu dressing and makeup store on a busy street in the Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City in Xi’an. “Few people talked about Hanfu several years ago,” said Yang. “They didn’t even know whether it meant traditional clothes of the Han Chinese or just clothes from the Han Dynasty.” The Hanfu in her store is not exactly the same as what ancient Han people wore. It has been changed to be easier to wear. However, it helps people learn about the real Hanfu shown in museums, which may not fit modern tastes and lifestyles. In a conversation, Yang explained that dressing in Hanfu and having makeup done is not very difficult. It starts with choosing a favorite style. Then, makeup artists help create the perfect look, which usually takes about one hour. The makeup and styling are designed according to the customer’s likes and face shape. Yang said, “We offer many styles to meet each person’s needs.” The store is popular for its special service. It attracts visitors not only from different parts of China but also from countries like South Korea, Russia and Nigeria. Yang remembered that some visitors from Nigeria even live-streamed their experience and introduced Hanfu to their viewers. “For foreigners, Hanfu has a mysterious charm,” Yang said. “When we tell them about different styles from different dynasties, they listen carefully and show great interest in traditional Chinese culture.” Although Hanfu is becoming more popular, most fans only wear it for taking photos with friends or during traditional festivals, Yang said. Only about 20% of them wear Hanfu in daily life. 1．Which of the statements is true about Yang Ting in the first two paragraphs? A．She taught law in college before. B．She runs a Hanfu dressing and makeup store. C．She sells ancient Hanfu in her shop. D．She sells ancient Hanfu clothes in her store. 2．What does “It” refer to in Para.3? A．Dressing in Hanfu and having makeup done. B．Choosing a favorite Hanfu style. C．Designing makeup for different face shapes. D．Offering various Hanfu styles for customers. 3．What can we infer from Yang’s words in Paragraph 4? A．Foreigners are curious about traditional Chinese culture. B．Nigerian visitors like to live-stream their travel experiences. C．Foreigners prefer Hanfu styles from ancient Chinese dynasties. D．Yang’s store is more popular among foreigners than Chinese people. 4．What will most likely be talked about next? A．Reasons for rare daily wearing of Hanfu B．Plans for opening more Hanfu stores C．Ways to make Hanfu fit for daily life D．Designs of Hanfu for foreign visitors 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Yang Ting从法律专业学生转型为汉服妆造店店主的经历，介绍了她的店铺服务、汉服改良理念，以及汉服在国内外的受欢迎程度与日常穿着现状。 【详解】 1．根据原文第一段中的“She is opening a Hanfu dressing and makeup store...”可知，她正在筹备一家汉服妆造店。 2．根据原文第三段前句“Yang explained that dressing in Hanfu and having makeup done is not very difficult.”可知，后句的“It”指代的就是前文提到的“做汉服妆造”这件事。 3．根据原文第四段Yang所说的话“...they listen carefully and show great interest in traditional Chinese culture.”可以推断出，外国人对中国传统文化表现出极大兴趣。 4． 原文最后一段提到“Only about 20% of them wear Hanfu in daily life.”，提出了汉服日常穿着率较低的现象。按照正常的行文逻辑，接下来最有可能探讨导致这一现象的原因。 Passage 3 （2026·江苏常州市武进区星辰实验学校·二模） In Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Jia Ma, a woodblock art form from the Han Dynasty, is making a lively comeback. In the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, locals will stick Jia Ma on the door frames during the Spring Festival. The traditional Jia Ma designs come in over 600 patterns, used to pray for blessings for wealth, fertility, education, marriage, protection from evil, ancestor worship (祭祖) and more. There are also blessings for nature, homes, roads, family harmony and joyous as well as serious occasions. Deeply rooted in spiritual and cultural traditions, these lively artworks are divided into three main themes: dragon totems(图腾), main gods and folk beliefs. No longer limited to temples or altars(祭坛), Jia Ma has found its way into the hands of young travelers who are eager to take home more than a typical souvenir. Today, the designs are being reimagined, mixing ancient symbols with modern ideas. The artwork now speaks to wishes, desires and intentions, turning a centuries-old tradition into dreams of the modern traveler. The once-serious symbols of fortune have begun to include playful designs like the “God of Inspiration” and the “God of Easy Gains”, making them suitable for younger generations who are looking for modern-day magic. Tourists from around the world are also attracted to these updated cultural symbols. The Jia Ma fridge magnets—some bilingual(双语的), others with clever changes—have become a popular souvenir, filling up the backpacks and suitcases of visitors who want to carry back a piece of this ancient province with them. In fact, many visitors to the area are finding that the most memorable experiences come not from the typical mass-produced gifts, but from local crafts that tell a story and remind them of the place. 1．What is Jia Ma mainly used for?

They may use a special material called carbon fiber (碳纤维), which is also found in some parts of modern planes. It is changing our life in many ways. On March 11, 2026, China showed the world’s first T1200-grade carbon fiber. This shows China’s great progress in advanced materials. T1200 carbon fiber was developed by China National Building Material Group. It is one of the best technologies today. This black material is thinner than one-tenth of a human hair. But it is 10 times stronger than common steel, and only a quarter of its weight. Most importantly, unlike steel, it is made of carbon, and therefore never rusts (生锈), even in wet places or environments. Because it is light, strong and rust-proof, it is widely used in many high-tech areas, including sixth-generation fighter planes and humanoid robots. It helps solve big material problems for modern machines. However, it is not easy to make this material in large numbers. It needs very good fibers, strict control, high-temperature heating and special machines. It also needs smart cost control. Making a lot of this material needs many resources and high energy. Now China has built a strong system that connects market needs, new technology and industrial support. And China has become the first country to produce T1200 carbon fiber at the 100-ton level a year. Undoubtedly, this is a huge step forward for China’s high-tech industry. New materials are very important for new industries. They are key to our country’s scientific and technological development. T1200 carbon fiber shows Chinese creativity and modern technology. As it develops further, it will bring more changes to our lives and help us build a better future. 1．Why does the writer start the passage with a question? A．To test the readers’ knowledge. B．To show his interest in bikes. C．To compare different kinds of materials. D．To introduce the topic of carbon fiber. 2．What do we know about T1200 carbon fiber from Paragraph 2?

They used an AI coding tool called Codex to create a mobile app that helps elderly people remember to take their medicine on time. The app, named “MediPal”, won first prize in the National Youth Technology Innovation Competition. The team leader, 14-year-old Zhang Wei, said the idea came from his grandmother. “She has to take five different pills every day, but she often forgets which one to take when,” Zhang explained. “I wanted to build something simple, but I had zero coding experience. That’s when I discovered Codex.” Codex is an AI system developed by OpenAI that translates natural language commands into computer code. A user can type something like “create a button that says ‘morning medicine’ and when clicked, it shows a picture of a red pill,” and Codex will generate the actual programming code. The students spent two months learning how to use Codex effectively, testing over 200 versions before they were satisfied. “The hardest part was not the coding,” said team member Li Na, 13. “Codex handled that. The hardest part was understanding what elderly users really needed. We visited three nursing homes and interviewed 45 senior citizens. Many told us that the text on most apps is too small. So we made our buttons extra large and added voice reminders.” The app has four main functions: a medicine schedule with picture identification, voice alerts that read the medicine name aloud, a refill reminder when pills are running low, and an emergency call button that connects directly to a family member. What makes MediPal special is that it works offline—no internet connection is required. Professor Chen from Zhejiang University judged the competition. “What impressed me most was not the technology itself, but how these students used AI to solve a real human problem,” he said. “They didn’t just build an app; they built a solution with empathy.” The Hangzhou government has decided to provide free downloads of MediPal to all elderly citizens in the city starting in July. Zhang Wei and his team are now working on an English version. 1．What is Codex according to the passage? A．A mobile app for elderly people. B．An AI tool that writes computer code from human language. C．A competition for young technology innovators. D．A medicine reminder system used in nursing homes. 2．What was the most difficult part of creating MediPal? A．Learning how to use Codex. B．Testing over 200 versions of the app. C．Understanding what elderly users needed. D．Making the app work without the internet. 3．Which of the following is NOT a function of MediPal? A．Picture identification for medicines. B．Voice alerts that read medicine names. C．A chat room for elderly users to talk to each other. D．An emergency call button to family members. 4．What did Professor Chen mainly praise about the students’ work? A．Their coding skills using Codex. B．Their ability to win the competition. C．Their empathy in solving a real problem. D．Their hard work in visiting nursing homes. 5．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The app will only be available in Chinese. B．The government will charge money for the app. C．The team is expanding the app to reach more users. D．The students have stopped working on the project. 主题02 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （2026·江苏苏州工业园区金鸡湖中学·二模） Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying (识别) animals in an area—by testing DNA in the air. The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals. Two teams of scientists—one in Denmark and one in the United Kingdom—came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air? Every living thing has DNA that can be used to identify it. They leave bits of DNA behind them wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is called “environmental” DNA, or eDNA．Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. Testing for eDNA isn’t a new idea. But most of the time, scientists look for eDNA in water. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly (稍微) different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to collect tiny bits of DNA． In the laboratory, by comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had rare animals not naturally found in the area. Each team only discovered about the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. The two decided to combine (合并) their results and publish a paper together. Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. The researchers believe the method could help scientists a lot. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering (干扰) with them. If researchers know where the animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature. 1．What is the primary purpose of using eDNA according to the article? A．To prevent DNA of animals from floating in the air. B．To attract rare animals to zoos for better protection. C．To identify animals by testing DNA found in the air. D．To save endangered animals away from all the diseases. 2．Which of the following is TRUE about the two teams of scientists? A．They knew each other very well before. B．They found more rare animals for zoos. C．They worked together to publish a paper.

With a history of more than 1,500 years, it has been passed down from generation to generation. ②There are two main methods of paper cutting: one is using scissors, and the other is using a knife. People usually use red paper because red represents happiness and good luck in Chinese culture. The most common patterns include flowers, birds, fish, and Chinese characters like “福”（fu, meaning good fortune）and “囍”（xi, meaning double happiness）. ③Paper cuttings are often seen during traditional festivals, especially the Spring Festival. People stick them on windows, doors, and walls to express their wishes for a better life. At weddings, the character “囍” is put up to bless the new couple. ④In 2009, Chinese paper cutting was added to the UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage List. This shows its great value in world culture. ⑤Today, paper cutting is not only popular in China but also loved by people around the world.

The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value. Yunjin, with a history of over 1,600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process (过程) is so long and complex that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for the royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces. It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests. With the development of technology and changes in people's lifestyle, young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a lot of time and practice. To pass down the skill of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957. Today, yunjin is not only a kind of traditional art but also a symbol of Chinese culture. In 2009, it was listed as a World Intangible Cultural Heritage (世界非物质文化遗产). More and more young people are starting to learn about and love this beautiful ancient art. 1．Why does Yunjin have high collecting value? A．Because it has a long history. B．Because it is made of valuable materials. C．Because it has the best quality. D．Because it is made by huge wooden looms. 2．What does the underlined word “complex” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Difficult. B．Different. C．Common. D．Expensive. 3．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．All young people now have great interest in learning yunjin. B．Modern machines will soon take the place of hand-made yunjin. C．The Chinese government has taken action to protect yunjin. D．Yunjin has lost its value and will disappear in the near future. 主题01 人与社会——科学技术 Passage 1 （2026·江苏盐城市盐都区·二模） China, the birthplace of paper money, is now leading the way to a cashless society. About 1,400 years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, people began using paper as a promise to pay for objects. Later, the Northern Song Dynasty made the first official paper money. In the last decade, paper money has become less common, and China is now leading the cashless trend (趋势). Living in China, I never take cash or a wallet. But when I travel abroad, I have to use cash again. That is a problem because of spending limits and big bills. This change is even harder for young people born between 1981 and 1999. They almost never use cash in their adult lives. However, some people still take cash in China because they feel safer, worrying about app problems or no phone signal (信号). For festivals and gifts, people still use cash in red packets, but young people now like digital red packets better. They can spend the money directly from their app wallets. Unlike Sweden and Norway, which use card-based cashless systems, China’s cashless life is built around mobile phones. There is even facial recognition (人脸识别) payment that does not need a phone at all. Some places in the world do not want to accept this convenience because of trust problems. But people in China trust their government and happily welcome this easy cashless trend. 1．When did the government first officially produce paper money in China? A．During the Tang Dynasty. B．During the Northern Song Dynasty. C．In recent ten years. D．Between 1981 and 1999. 2．Why do some people still carry cash in China? A．Because they don’t know how to use phones. B．Because they like using large bills every day. C．Because they don’t like digital red packets. D．Because they worry about app problems or no phone signal. 3．What does the underlined word “convenience” mean in the last paragraph? A．Something difficult and boring. B．Something modern and creative. C．Something easy and comfortable. D．Something expensive and useless. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The popular use of digital red packets. B．The cashless situation of foreign countries. C．The long history of Chinese paper money. D．The development of China’s cashless society. Passage 2 （2026·江苏连云港市新海初级中学·二模） You might see headlines of “raising lobster” recently online, but the “lobster” is not the kind you’d find on the dining table. It’s a new AI agent called OpenClaw. Using a red lobster as its symbol, it was developed by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger. In China, many people have set up this AI on their computers, which they jokingly call “raising lobster”. We’ve already had AI tools like ChatGPT and DeepSeek. They can advise us on what to do, but they can’t reach into the real world to do it for us. Also, they only “talk” when asked. OpenClaw, on the other hand, “actually does things”. For example, it can send emails and buy plane tickets for us. OpenClaw also has a long “memory”. Over time, it learns what you like and follows your plans. You can wake up in the morning to a message about your top three tasks without even having to ask the AI first. This proactivity (主动性) is made possible by something called a “heartbeat”, according to Claire Vo, a US scientist. She explained that a heartbeat is a timer that goes off regularly (定时). With each “heartbeat”, the AI checks what comes next. However, OpenClaw collects a lot of personal information from users. In February, researchers found that some important information from OpenClaw had been put online without telling the users. Hackers (黑客) could use this to control users’ computers. The Chinese government has given its first-ever warnings about this kind of AI, telling people to be careful while using it. 1．What question does the first paragraph mainly answer? A．What is “raising lobster”? B．Who developed OpenClaw? C．Why is OpenClaw special? D．How does OpenClaw work? 2．How is OpenClaw different from other AI tools? A．It owns a real heart. B．It helps its users with real tasks. C．It has a shorter memory. D．It provides better advice for people. 3．What can the “heartbeat” help OpenClaw do? A．Learn what users like. B．Talk with users when asked. C．Check what to do next. D．Protect users from hackers. 4．Why has the government warned people to be careful with OpenClaw? A．People can be controlled by it. B．It gives out users’ private information. C．Users have spent too much money on it. D．Setting it up on computers is very difficult. Passage 3 （2026·江苏常熟昆承中学集团校·二模） The Drama Festival will run in and outside China from June 20 to July 7. Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. “The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology,” says Liu Chang, manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren’t sure if the new technology can take drama to the future. A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, inspired by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online. Zhou Xiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s painting The Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30 to July 2. Supported by AI, audiences can explore the fictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes. “The stage design is done by AI, which is like an assistant realizing the ideas of me and my team,” says Liu, “Now I try to use the latest technology, such as ChatGPT, to write the script, and I am still working on it because the language model is difficult to understand.” Now technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama—a scene to dream. 1．Which of the following is true according to this passage? A．Liu doubts whether technology can greatly improve drama. B．Meng’s two-part drama Faust will be on at the opening. C．Audiences can explore the scene of Liu’s work by AI.

A．A drama festival B．Human imagination C．Drama of the future D．AI-assisted technology 主题02 人与社会——科普知识 Passage 1 （2026·江苏无锡市积余集团·二模） When you think of fast animals, cheetahs and falcons may come to mind. But do you know some of the fastest living things on Earth are very small cells? If cells had their own Olympics, who would win the speed game? Manu Prakash, a scientist at Stanford University, says the “competitors” won’t show up ready to compete. “We have to go search in puddles and ponds and in the deep ocean,” he says. His team collected information on the speed of different cells to compare them. So how do these tiny speeders move? Some fast cells jump or slide across water. Others move by waving long, thin parts that look like whips (鞭子), or swim with the help of tiny, hair-like parts. There are also speedy cells that do not move from one place to another but grow bigger or become smaller very quickly, and this makes them special “speed players” too. Take Spirostomum, for example. In Liberia, Prakash saw many white spots in a pond. They were not spread out randomly. He took a sample (样本) and found this single-celled creature. It can shrink (缩小) its body faster than any other eukaryote (真核生物) — a living thing whose cells have a nucleus. Why does it shrink so fast? Prakash says it’s part of how it communicates. “It actually talks to other cells … using sound underwater.” Another amazing cell is Pyrocystis. These algae (水藻) do not swim, but they make a huge journey. Prakash found them deep in the ocean near Hawaii. They need sunlight to live, but how do they get it? The algae can inflate like a balloon to five times their size and then shrink back down. This allows them to travel about one kilometer up to the sunlit surface. Compared to their size, that is the longest journey on Earth. Prakash has found many super-fast cells in different places. These unusual living things help us learn more about the secret of life. “This planet is full of amazing things,” he says. “When we study and compare them, we will find how wonderful life is.” 1．Why does the writer mention cheetahs and falcons at the beginning of the passage? A．To show that they are the fastest animals on Earth. B．To compare their speed with the speed of fast cells. C．To introduce the topic of the fastest small cells. D．To prove that big animals are usually faster than small ones. 2．Where did Manu Prakash find the fast cells? A．In rivers and cities. B．In space and on other planets. C．In high mountains and forests. D．In puddles, ponds and the deep ocean. 3．What does the word “inflate” in Paragraph 5 most likely mean? A．blow up B．take off C．calm down D．break down 4．What can we learn about the “speed” of cells from the passage? A．It is measured by how fast a cell moves from one place to another. B．It can be understood in different ways, including changes in a cell’s size. C．It mainly depends on a cell’s ability to swim using whips or hair-like parts. D．It has been fully studied by scientists like Manu Prakash around the world. Passage 2 （2026·江苏苏州高新区实验中学·二模） ①Take a look at the two shapes in the picture. Which one do you think is “kiki” and which one is “bouba”? This is part of a famous bouba-kiki experiment done in both America and India. ②In the experiment, people were shown two drawings. One had a rounded shape, and the other had a star-like shape. People had to name each of them with “bouba” or “kiki”. Both of these words were not real words in any language and had no meaning. However, 95% of people decided the rounded one was “bouba”, and the star-like one was “kiki”. ③The experiment shows our brains seem to connect sounds with shapes. The researchers believe the results have something to do with the mouth shapes we make when we say these words. Pronouncing “bouba” requires the mouth to make a rounded shape. Other examples of “rounded” sounds are oo in “room” and o in “wrote”. An unrounded mouth shape is needed to make the sound of “kiki”. “Unrounded” sounds require the lips (嘴唇) to be spread apart, like ee in “peek” or a in “had”. ④Another explanation is that letters such as k or t are thought to have unrounded sounds because of their sharp (尖锐的) shapes. Letters like b or g have rounded shapes, so they are considered to have rounded and soft sounds. ⑤Understanding the bouba-kiki effect can lead to its possible use in fields like branding (品牌) and communication. For example, if a toy brand wants to show its softness and friendliness, it may follow the “bouba” effect and choose rounded shapes for the logo and rounded sounds for product names. Similarly, a technology company may turn to the “kiki” effect to show it’s sharp and powerful. So next time you want to design a logo for a school event or name a product, consider whether it feels more like “bouba” or “kiki”! 1．How does the writer begin the text? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a joke. C．By giving examples. D．By asking a question. 2．Why do people connect “bouba” with rounded shapes? A．Because the mouth forms a round shape when saying it. B．Because it sounds the same as “room” and “wrote”. C．Because it makes people think of soft and friendly things. D．Because the letter “b” has a very round shape. 3．Which brand best shows the “kiki” effect? A．Loops. B．Wubbo. C．Teeki. D．Bugaloo. 4．What is the correct structure of the text? A． B． C． D． Passage 3 （2026·江苏苏州市西安交通大学苏州附属初级中学·二模） Do you know the five main senses we have? They are touch, taste, sight, smell and hearing. They are controlled by different parts of our brains. So we call the brain our built-in “BeiDou”. Brains help our bodies work smoothly. Try this: close your eyes and touch your nose. It’s easy, right? That’s because our brains can receive messages about where our body parts are. We can also stand on one leg without falling down. If we lose our balance, our brains will give us orders to fix it. Brains are also life-saving heroes. Tests show that people see spider pictures faster than flowers. Some researchers also found that people react (作出反应) to loud noises faster than to a friend’s voice. Scientists aren’t completely sure about the reasons. Some suggest that this skill might come from ancient times. Our ancestors (祖先) were often faced with predators. So they had to protect themselves from dangerous animals like spiders and tigers, or they would lose their lives. Until today, we still jump at sudden noises or shadows (影子) in dark rooms. Here is more about brains. Can you imagine seeing colors when you hear music, or tasting candy when you see the sunshine? It’s called sense mixing. Scientists think this happens when different senses intermingle (相互交织). Another fact is that temperature sometimes influences our senses. Some people can feel storms coming when they feel knee pain. So we often joke that we’re “human weather apps”. Also, our brains are able to make adjustment (调整) to some senses. If someone can’t see well, his hearing or touch might become stronger. Scientists have done much research on the brain, but there’s still a lot to do. Have you ever wondered why some people are better at sports? What’s the secret to improving memory? Then it’s time for you to start your discovering journey 1．What can we learn from paragraph 2? A．People see flower pictures faster than spiders. B．Spiders and tigers are the most dangerous animals. C．The brain helps us react quickly to possible dangers. D．Scientists have fully understood how our brains work. 2．Which animal in the following pictures is probably a “predator”? A． B． C． D． 3．According to paragraph 3, what might happen if your senses mix? A．You can tie your shoes without looking. B．You taste sweetness when seeing an apple. C．You jump when someone shouts suddenly. D．You feel pain in your knees before the rain comes. 4．What is the writing purpose of the last paragraph? A．To improve people’s memory. B．To encourage brain studies. C．To show the value of our brains. D．To admire scientists’ efforts. 主题03 人与社会——中华文化 Passage 1 （2026·江苏连云港市灌南县·二模） In China, the art of paper cutting has a history of over 1,500 years. It is often used to decorate doors and windows during festivals. “Paper cutting is not just about cutting paper,” says Ms. Chen, a master of this art. “You must think about the meaning behind each pattern. A fish means ‘more than enough every year’. A bat means ‘good luck’.” Ms. Chen started learning paper cutting when she was seven. At first, she could only cut simple shapes. After years of practice, she can now cut a detailed dragon in just ten minutes. Today, fewer young people are learning paper cutting. To change this, Ms. Chen gives free lessons in schools. “I want to pass on this treasure,” she says. A student named Liu Wei says, “I thought it was old-fashioned, but after Ms. Chen’s class, I find it really fun. I want to design my own patterns.” Ms. Chen believes that if more young people fall in love with it, paper cutting will never die. 1．What do fish patterns stand for in paper cutting? A．Good luck. B．Enough food. C．Long life. D．Happiness. 2．How does Ms. Chen try to save paper cutting? A．By selling her works. B．By teaching in schools. C．By making videos. D．By writing books. 3．What do Liu Wei’s words show? A．Young people dislike traditional art. B．Paper cutting is too hard to learn. C．Ms. Chen’s class changed his mind. D．Old art is not interesting. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A Master’s Life Story B．The History of Paper Cutting C．Keeping a Traditional Art Alive D．How to Cut Paper Dragons Passage 2 （2026·江苏苏州市相城区·二模） Yang Ting used to study law in college. Later, she became a teacher, and now she runs a business. She is opening a Hanfu dressing and makeup store on a busy street in the Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City in Xi’an. “Few people talked about Hanfu several years ago,” said Yang. “They didn’t even know whether it meant traditional clothes of the Han Chinese or just clothes from the Han Dynasty.” The Hanfu in her store is not exactly the same as what ancient Han people wore. It has been changed to be easier to wear. However, it helps people learn about the real Hanfu shown in museums, which may not fit modern tastes and lifestyles. In a conversation, Yang explained that dressing in Hanfu and having makeup done is not very difficult. It starts with choosing a favorite style. Then, makeup artists help create the perfect look, which usually takes about one hour. The makeup and styling are designed according to the customer’s likes and face shape. Yang said, “We offer many styles to meet each person’s needs.” The store is popular for its special service. It attracts visitors not only from different parts of China but also from countries like South Korea, Russia and Nigeria. Yang remembered that some visitors from Nigeria even live-streamed their experience and introduced Hanfu to their viewers. “For foreigners, Hanfu has a mysterious charm,” Yang said. “When we tell them about different styles from different dynasties, they listen carefully and show great interest in traditional Chinese culture.” Although Hanfu is becoming more popular, most fans only wear it for taking photos with friends or during traditional festivals, Yang said. Only about 20% of them wear Hanfu in daily life. 1．Which of the statements is true about Yang Ting in the first two paragraphs? A．She taught law in college before. B．She runs a Hanfu dressing and makeup store. C．She sells ancient Hanfu in her shop. D．She sells ancient Hanfu clothes in her store. 2．What does “It” refer to in Para.3? A．Dressing in Hanfu and having makeup done. B．Choosing a favorite Hanfu style. C．Designing makeup for different face shapes. D．Offering various Hanfu styles for customers. 3．What can we infer from Yang’s words in Paragraph 4? A．Foreigners are curious about traditional Chinese culture. B．Nigerian visitors like to live-stream their travel experiences. C．Foreigners prefer Hanfu styles from ancient Chinese dynasties. D．Yang’s store is more popular among foreigners than Chinese people. 4．What will most likely be talked about next? A．Reasons for rare daily wearing of Hanfu B．Plans for opening more Hanfu stores C．Ways to make Hanfu fit for daily life D．Designs of Hanfu for foreign visitors Passage 3 （2026·江苏常州市武进区星辰实验学校·二模） In Southwest China’s Yunnan Province, Jia Ma, a woodblock art form from the Han Dynasty, is making a lively comeback. In the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan, locals will stick Jia Ma on the door frames during the Spring Festival. The traditional Jia Ma designs come in over 600 patterns, used to pray for blessings for wealth, fertility, education, marriage, protection from evil, ancestor worship (祭祖) and more. There are also blessings for nature, homes, roads, family harmony and joyous as well as serious occasions. Deeply rooted in spiritual and cultural traditions, these lively artworks are divided into three main themes: dragon totems(图腾), main gods and folk beliefs. No longer limited to temples or altars(祭坛), Jia Ma has found its way into the hands of young travelers who are eager to take home more than a typical souvenir. Today, the designs are being reimagined, mixing ancient symbols with modern ideas. The artwork now speaks to wishes, desires and intentions, turning a centuries-old tradition into dreams of the modern traveler. The once-serious symbols of fortune have begun to include playful designs like the “God of Inspiration” and the “God of Easy Gains”, making them suitable for younger generations who are looking for modern-day magic. Tourists from around the world are also attracted to these updated cultural symbols. The Jia Ma fridge magnets—some bilingual(双语的), others with clever changes—have become a popular souvenir, filling up the backpacks and suitcases of visitors who want to carry back a piece of this ancient province with them. In fact, many visitors to the area are finding that the most memorable experiences come not from the typical mass-produced gifts, but from local crafts that tell a story and remind them of the place. 1．What is Jia Ma mainly used for?
