China’s students get their first-ever spring break
This April, many Chinese students enjoyed their first-ever spring break! Eight-year-old Wang Siyuan was thrilled (激动) to visit a science museum in Hefei on the first day of his holiday. “It feels like we’re walking in space!” he said excitedly.
Spring break usually happens around May Day holiday in late April and early May. So far this year, nearly 100 cities across China—like those in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Sichuan—have started giving students a 6-to-8-day vacation by combining (结合) May Day holiday with extra days off.
Unlike regular holidays, schools give little or no written homework during spring break. Instead, they encourage outdoor activities, family time, and hands-on learning. In Nanjing, children can join nature walks or visit cultural sites. In Hefei, some explore science museums to learn about new technologies.
The idea began in Hangzhou in 2004 and has grown since China’s “double reduction” policy (双减政策) eased (减轻) schoolwork pressure. Now, even companies are helping—some offer parents paid leave so families can travel together.
Travel bookings have risen sharply (大幅地), especially for museums, zoos, and theme parks. Experts say today’s spring trips focus more on fun experiences than just sightseeing. As one teacher put it: “This break helps students relax, learn outside class, and grow happily.”
4.What do schools usually avoid giving during spring break?
A.Outdoor activity plans B.Written homework tasks
C.Family time suggestions D.Science museum visits
5.Why might companies offer parents paid leave?
A.To support family holiday time B.To close offices in spring
C.To save money on salaries D.To encourage shopping trips
6.What does “hands-on learning” probably mean?
A.Learning by listening carefully B.Learning by doing real activities
C.Learning from textbooks only D.Learning through online videos
7.What is the main purpose of the spring break?
A.To reduce travel costs B.To replace summer vacation
C.To help students learn and relax D.To give teachers more rest
【答案】4.B 5.A 6.B 7.C
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了中国多地学生首次享受春假,结合五一假期放6-8天,少作业,重户外与体验。
【详解】4.文章第三段第一句提到“Unlike regular holidays, schools give little or no written homework during spring break.”提到学校在春假期间很少或不布置书面作业。
5.文章第四段最后一句提到“...some offer parents paid leave so families can travel together.”提到一些公司为父母提供带薪休假,目的是支持家庭度假时间。
6.文章第三段指出“they encourage outdoor activities, family time, and hands-on learning. In Nanjing, children can join nature walks or visit cultural sites. In Hefei, some explore science museums to learn about new technologies.”,学校鼓励户外活动和家庭时间,并举例说明孩子们可以参加自然漫步或探索科学博物馆。这些都属于通过实际活动进行学习,而非仅靠听讲或书本。
7.文章最后一段引用老师的话“This break helps students relax, learn outside class, and grow happily.”春假的主要目的是帮助学生学习和放松。

In some parts of the world, children don’t have enough food to eat or enough money to buy clothes or shoes. Every year at Sunshine Middle School, we do something to raise money for these children. This year we will have a Market Day.
The Market Day will fall on July 8. We are going to make the student center at our school look just like a big shopping center! People can come at any time from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and buy everything from clothes to books, cakes and flowers.
Luckily for us, many volunteers will help prepare for the big event. Last year, Ms. Grant and Ms. Ali made some wonderful cakes for our charity event. They will do it again this year. Bill Thomas will visit Bookworm Bookshop and Mel’s Music Shop and ask them to give us things that we can sell at the event. Philip White will email all the teachers and ask them to come to our event. Alice Brown will put a message online telling the public the event is open to everyone.
However, there is more to do, and we need your help. We want you to give us things that we can sell—books, old clothes, anything that we can sell to raise money for poor children. We also need some student volunteers to sell the things we get on Market Day.

Nature is full of amazing wonders. We can see beautiful flowers blooming (开花) in the garden, clear rivers flowing slowly through the forests, high mountains standing tall against the sky, and lovely animals jumping and playing around us. It can make us forget our worries and live a happier and healthier life.
When we walk in a quiet park or a peaceful village, we can fully enjoy the beauty of nature. Look at the blue sky and white clouds. Listen to the gentle sound of wind and birds singing in the trees. We can take a deep breath of the fresh air and feel relaxed.
We can go hiking along the mountain paths, have a picnic near the river with family and friends, or sit quietly on the grass to watch the sun set slowly and paint the sky in golden and orange colors. These outdoor activities bring us endless joys. They also help us stay away from the busy and noisy city life.
It is not enough to just enjoy nature. We should not pick flowers or throw rubbish everywhere. We need to take small actions every day to keep the natural world clean and beautiful.
Connecting with nature is a wonderful experience. It teaches us to love and value the world around us, and makes us understand the importance of protecting our home.
A.Spending time outdoors is a good way to get close to nature.
B.Learning to connect with them is very important for us.

As a result, he didn’t have to get into a war. It teaches us not to judge (评价) events too 55 (quick). “Yī Mă Dāng Xiān” describes “taking the lead”. For example, a top student always leads the class in group projects. “Mă Dào Chéng Gōng” means “win instant success”. We often use it 56 (wish) someone luck in a new task, like before a sports meeting or an exam.
There 57 (be) also such idioms in English. When someone says, “Hold your horses”, they mean “Wait a moment” or “Be patient.” To eat like a horse means to eat a lot of food. Horses are big animals and they need to eat a lot. So, 58 someone” eats like a horse, “they might be eating a 59 (large) amount (数量) of food than others.
These idioms are more than words—they are part of people’s wisdom, still guiding us today. They help us talk about 60 (feeling), actions, and choices in a fun and smart way. Some idioms show how we solve problems. Others teach us to stay calm or not rush things. Learning these expressions is 61 fun way to explore the culture behind the language!

54.句意:但后来他的儿子摔断了腿。 根据“But his son fell off and...his leg”可知,and连接并列谓语,前面的fell off是一般过去时,所以break也要用过去式broke。故填broke。
55.句意:它教会我们不要太快地评判事情。 根据“It teaches us not to judge (评价) events too”可知,此处修饰动词judge,需要用副词,quick的副词形式是quickly。故填quickly。

57.句意:英语中也有这样的习语。 根据“There...also such idioms in English”可知,本句是there be句型,主语idioms是复数,且文章时态为一般现在时,所以be动词用are。故填are。
58.句意:所以,当/如果有人“像马一样吃”,他们可能比其他人吃更多的食物。 根据 “So...someone ‘eats like a horse’, ‘they might be eating...’”可知,此处引导时间或条件状语从句,意为“当……时”或“如果”,用when或if均可。故if/when。
59.句意:所以,当/如果有人“像马一样吃”,他们可能比其他人吃更多的食物。 根据 “they might be eating a...amount (数量) of food than others” 可知,句中有than,表示比较,所以要用large的比较级larger。故填larger。
60.句意:它们帮助我们以一种有趣而聪明的方式谈论感受、行动和选择。 根据“They help us talk about...actions, and choices”可知,and连接并列成分,后面的actions和choices都是复数,所以feeling也要用复数形式feelings。故填feelings。
61.句意:学习这些表达是探索语言背后文化的一种有趣方式。 根据“Learning these expressions is...fun way to explore the culture behind the language”可知,way是可数名词单数,且fun以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。

China’s students get their first-ever spring break
This April, many Chinese students enjoyed their first-ever spring break! Eight-year-old Wang Siyuan was thrilled (激动) to visit a science museum in Hefei on the first day of his holiday. “It feels like we’re walking in space!” he said excitedly.
Spring break usually happens around May Day holiday in late April and early May. So far this year, nearly 100 cities across China—like those in Jiangsu, Anhui, and Sichuan—have started giving students a 6-to-8-day vacation by combining (结合) May Day holiday with extra days off.
Unlike regular holidays, schools give little or no written homework during spring break. Instead, they encourage outdoor activities, family time, and hands-on learning. In Nanjing, children can join nature walks or visit cultural sites. In Hefei, some explore science museums to learn about new technologies.
The idea began in Hangzhou in 2004 and has grown since China’s “double reduction” policy (双减政策) eased (减轻) schoolwork pressure. Now, even companies are helping—some offer parents paid leave so families can travel together.
Travel bookings have risen sharply (大幅地), especially for museums, zoos, and theme parks. Experts say today’s spring trips focus more on fun experiences than just sightseeing. As one teacher put it: “This break helps students relax, learn outside class, and grow happily.”
4.What do schools usually avoid giving during spring break?
A.Outdoor activity plans B.Written homework tasks
C.Family time suggestions D.Science museum visits
5.Why might companies offer parents paid leave?
A.To support family holiday time B.To close offices in spring
C.To save money on salaries D.To encourage shopping trips
6.What does “hands-on learning” probably mean?

C.Learning from textbooks only D.Learning through online videos
7.What is the main purpose of the spring break?
A.To reduce travel costs B.To replace summer vacation
C.To help students learn and relax D.To give teachers more rest
C

Nature is full of amazing wonders. We can see beautiful flowers blooming (开花) in the garden, clear rivers flowing slowly through the forests, high mountains standing tall against the sky, and lovely animals jumping and playing around us. It can make us forget our worries and live a happier and healthier life.
When we walk in a quiet park or a peaceful village, we can fully enjoy the beauty of nature. Look at the blue sky and white clouds. Listen to the gentle sound of wind and birds singing in the trees. We can take a deep breath of the fresh air and feel relaxed.
We can go hiking along the mountain paths, have a picnic near the river with family and friends, or sit quietly on the grass to watch the sun set slowly and paint the sky in golden and orange colors. These outdoor activities bring us endless joys. They also help us stay away from the busy and noisy city life.
It is not enough to just enjoy nature. We should not pick flowers or throw rubbish everywhere. We need to take small actions every day to keep the natural world clean and beautiful.
Connecting with nature is a wonderful experience. It teaches us to love and value the world around us, and makes us understand the importance of protecting our home.
A.Spending time outdoors is a good way to get close to nature.
B.Learning to connect with them is very important for us.

2026 is the year of the Horse in China. Loyal, brave, and heroic, the horse is one of the most beloved animals in China. Thousands 52 years ago, Chinese people started to use horses for travel, work, and fun. So there are a lot of idioms (成语) with horses.
You must have heard of “Sài Wēng Shī Mǎ”. A story tells that an old man lost 53 (he) horse. It later returned with a better one. But his son fell off and 54 (break) his leg. As a result, he didn’t have to get into a war. It teaches us not to judge (评价) events too 55 (quick). “Yī Mă Dāng Xiān” describes “taking the lead”. For example, a top student always leads the class in group projects. “Mă Dào Chéng Gōng” means “win instant success”. We often use it 56 (wish) someone luck in a new task, like before a sports meeting or an exam.
There 57 (be) also such idioms in English. When someone says, “Hold your horses”, they mean “Wait a moment” or “Be patient.” To eat like a horse means to eat a lot of food. Horses are big animals and they need to eat a lot. So, 58 someone” eats like a horse, “they might be eating a 59 (large) amount (数量) of food than others.
These idioms are more than words—they are part of people’s wisdom, still guiding us today. They help us talk about 60 (feeling), actions, and choices in a fun and smart way. Some idioms show how we solve problems. Others teach us to stay calm or not rush things. Learning these expressions is 61 fun way to explore the culture behind the language!
