It has fewer than 1,300 grottoes in total. B. People might visit it in the Tang Dynasty. C. Tourists can stay until 18:20 on October 10. B To stop young people from smoking, the UK has made a new health law. It stops kids in the future from buying cigarettes (香烟). Anyone born after December 31, 2008 will never be allowed to buy cigarettes in the UK. The government will also control the sale of tobacco and e-cigarettes. These products are bad for teenagers, and young people can easily get addicted to them. At present, people under 18 in the UK cannot buy tobacco or e-cigarettes. As the age rule for buying cigarettes becomes stricter, today’s teenagers will grow up as the first generation (一代人) in Britain that never smokes. This is one of the most powerful anti-smoking rules around the world. Government officials say this law will keep teenagers from bad habits and health problems caused by tobacco. The UK government hopes the rule will create a smoke-free generation and greatly improve public health in the future. Smoking is very harmful to people’s health. People believe these rules will protect teens from serious illnesses that last for a long time. Since the 1970s, the number of smokers in the UK has dropped by nearly two thirds. Even so, about 6.4 million people still smoke now. Every year, 80,000 people die of illnesses caused by smoking. “The new rules are a turning point for public health,” an expert from Action on Smoking and Health said. She added, “Families everywhere can now feel safe. Their children can grow up without the harm of tobacco.” 3. Who cannot buy cigarettes in the UK under the new law? A. Leo (born on June 1, 2000). B. Eric (born on January 25, 2009). C. Bob (born on December 20, 2008). 4. What does the phrase “smoke-free generation” mean? A. A generation who sells cigarettes for free. B. A generation who never smokes cigarettes. C. A generation who makes anti-smoking rules. 5. How does the writer show the risks of smoking? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling stories. C. By asking questions. 6. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To show how bad e-cigarettes taste. B. To tell people how to stop smoking. C. To introduce the UK’s new anti-smoking law. C On May 12, 2026, people visited the broken buildings of Xuankou Middle School in Wenchuan, Sichuan, to remember the 18th anniversary of the terrible earthquake. The earthquake in 2008 killed nearly 70,000 people and left many others missing. Across China, millions shared memories online. Some remembered long lines at blood donation (捐赠) stations. Others thought of the 15 soldiers (士兵) who jumped from planes to help. It was a day full of sadness, but also of love and courage. Now working as a tour guide at Xuankou Middle School, Yin Xin was just a schoolgirl when the disaster came. She said that she and her classmates were in class, and thanks to their math teacher, they did not get hurt by the falling building. Her voice shook as she told the story. Today, many survivors have grown up and done amazing things. Lin Hao was a boy who saved two classmates. Now he is a village official and has a family. Niu Yu was trapped (被困) under stones for 3 days when she was 11. Now she runs half marathons with a man-made leg, becomes a local officer, and even writes a book. Their stories show that life can be strong after terrible events. The towns hit by the disaster have been rebuilt. New houses, schools, and roads make life better. But the most important thing is how people keep the memory alive. One person shared his idea online, “Remembering disaster does not mean staying sad. It means valuing today and living well.” The survivors teach us that even after a huge disaster, we can find hope and move forward. May we always remember, and may the world stay safe. 7. Why did people visit Xuankou Middle School on May 12, 2026? A. To build new houses. B. To donate blood. C. To mark Wenchuan Earthquake. 8. What can we know about the survivors? A. Yin Xin was having class outside when the earthquake hit. B. Lin Hao chose to work as a tour guide after the earthquake. C. Niu Yu lives positively and actively though missing one leg. 9. What question does the last paragraph best answer? A. How can we face the disaster properly? B. What happens during a natural disaster? C. What can we do to prepare for the worst? 10. Which saying best shows the writer’s attitude towards the disaster? A. Every coin has its two sides. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每个选项仅使用一次。 Have you ever used hand gestures (手势) in foreign countries and got an unfriendly look?

But have you ever seen an American kung fu master with long hair and a long beard, wearing a black Taoist robe (袍子)? His name is Jake Pinnick. Jake is from Illinois, a small town in the United States. When he was young, he loved watching Chinese kung fu movies and respected famous actors like Bruce Lee. He became crazy about Chinese martial arts (武术). In 2010, he decided to fly to China to learn real kung fu, though he knew no Chinese at all. Jake went to Wudang Mountain in Hubei and joined a local martial arts school. The training was really challenging. He had to start practicing at 5 a.m. all year round. Jake was not good at sports, so he often made mistakes and wanted to give up. Still, his love for kung fu pushed him to keep going. Five years later, he finished all the training. Only fewer than half of his foreign classmates stuck it out. He learned many kung fu skills and became the successor (接班人) of Wudang Sanfeng School. Besides kung fu, he also learned Chinese music, calligraphy and tea culture. As he said, “I came to China because of martial arts, but I stayed because of the culture behind it.” Now 36, Jake has lived on Wudang Mountain for over 16 years. He has a warm Chinese family and got China’s permanent residence card (永久居住卡) in 2025. When people call him a “foreigner”, Jake always smiles and says, “Don’t call me ‘laowai’. Call me ‘laonei’.” To him, China is already his real home. 36. Where is Jake Pinnick from? _______________________________________________________________ 37. What did Jake think of the training at school? _______________________________________________________________ 38.
