Now, the 34-year-old has 1 them wrong—not only by walking, but also by running a prosthetics (假肢) company. Cai’s life journey changed because of a terrible 2 in 2014. His right leg was cut off at once, and his left leg was broken. He fell into a 35-day coma (昏迷). For three years, doctors tried hard to 3 his left leg, but each small improvement was followed by another 4 operation. In late 2017, Cai made an unbelievable choice: he asked doctors to remove his left leg. “It wasn’t 5 ,” he said. “I just couldn’t keep lying to myself.” The decision brought him “complete freedom”. In 2018, Cai started using prosthetics and relearned to walk. He tried different jobs, yet all ended in 6 . Taking his mother’s advice to slow down, he attended training programs and won a national championship in tea art in 2023. That 7 gave him the confidence to found a prosthetics company the same year. He cared more about the disadvantaged groups and about 40 percent of his workers are 8 . As a prosthetic user himself, he understood users’ pain points. His products are quite popular and some of his 9 include many famous stars like Jiang Yuyan, who won seven gold medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games (残奥会). Cai has also followed his athletic dream, joining China’s first disabled golf team in 2025. What interests him most is to travel as a(an) 10 speaker, who often shares his belief: “Keep being brave.” 1．A．judged B．proved C．realized D．believed 2．A．accident B．birth C．meeting D．business 3．A．find B．train C．change D．save 4．A．careful B．successful C．painful D．helpful 5．A．speeding up B．giving up C．standing up D．making up 6．A．silence B．danger C．doubt D．failure 7．A．achievement B．suggestion C．treatment D．satisfaction 8．A．strong B．experienced C．disabled D．healthy 9．A．drivers B．visitors C．guests D．customers 10．A．shocking B．encouraging C．interesting D．relaxing 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 5．B 6．D 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．B 【导语】本文讲述蔡鲁因事故截肢后，不仅重新行走，还创办假肢公司帮助弱势群体，并成为励志演讲者的感人故事。 1．句意：现在，34岁的他证明了他们是错的——不仅能走路，还经营着一家假肢公司。 根据“them wrong”及后文他成功的事实，固定搭配prove sb. wrong意为“证明某人错了”，他用行动反驳了医生的预言，proved“证明”符合语境。judged“评判”；realized“意识到”；believed“相信”无法构成符合逻辑的搭配。 2．句意：蔡的人生旅程因2014年的一场可怕事故而改变。 根据后文“右腿被截肢，左腿骨折”及“昏迷35天”可知，这是一场严重的意外事故，accident符合语境。birth、meeting、business均不符合导致身体重伤的逻辑。 3．句意：三年来，医生努力挽救他的左腿，但每次小改善后都跟着另一次痛苦的手术。 根据后文他最终选择切除左腿可知，之前医生是试图保住这条腿，save意为“挽救、保全”，符合医生治疗的目的。find“发现”；train“训练”；change“改变”不符合医疗救治的语境。 4．句意：三年来，医生努力挽救他的左腿，但每次小改善后都跟着另一次痛苦的手术。 根据前文治疗过程艰难且最终他选择切除，说明手术过程并不顺利且带来折磨，painful符合患者经历多次手术的感受。careful“小心的”；successful“成功的”；helpful“有帮助的”与最终切除腿的结局逻辑不符。 5．句意：他说：“这不是放弃。” 切除腿看似是停止治疗(放弃)，但他认为这是为了获得自由。根据“lying to myself”可知他在否定消极的看法，giving up符合语境。speeding up“加速”；standing up“站起来”；making up“编造”无法体现这种心理抉择的逻辑。 6．句意：他尝试不同工作，但都以失败告终。 根据“yet”表示转折，以及后文他听从建议慢下来参加培训可知，之前的尝试不顺利，end in failure为常见搭配，意为“以失败告终”。silence“沉默”；danger“危险”；doubt“怀疑”不符合求职受挫的语境。 7．句意：那个成就给了他同年创办假肢公司的信心。 此处指代前文“won a national championship in tea art”，获得冠军属于一种成就，achievement“成就”符合语境。suggestion“建议”；treatment“治疗”；satisfaction“满意”不能准确概括获奖这一事件。 8．句意：他更关心弱势群体，约40%的员工是残疾人。 根据前文“cares more about the disadvantaged groups”及他自身是假肢使用者可知，他雇佣残疾人，disabled符合帮助弱势群体的主题。strong“强壮的”；experienced“有经验的”；healthy“健康的”与关爱弱势群体的逻辑不符。 9．句意：他的产品很受欢迎，一些顾客包括像蒋裕燕这样的明星。 根据前文他经营公司且产品受欢迎，购买产品的人即为顾客，customers符合商业交易的逻辑。drivers“司机”；visitors“游客”；guests“客人”不符合购买假肢产品的身份。 10．句意：他最感兴趣的是作为一名励志演讲者旅行，分享信念：“保持勇敢。” 根据分享的内容“Keep being brave”可知，他的演讲旨在激励他人，encouraging符合励志演讲者的特征。shocking“震惊的”；interesting“有趣的”；relaxing“放松的”无法体现传递勇气和信念的目的。 阅读短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A couple of months ago, my parents gave me a mobile phone as a gift. I kept my eyes focused on its 1 all summer and forgot all around me. So when my dad said “This year, we’ll 2 something special. We’re going camping!” I felt 3 . It wasn’t my dream vacation. I kept 4 on the way. In fact, I was lost in the screen. When we drove across a bridge, I looked up 5 my phone no longer had service. “I’ve 6 a campsite (宿营地) without mobile phone service,” my dad said, “and your phone will be useless until we 7 home.” That night, I went to bed angrily at the campsite. But when I woke up in the morning and heard the birds singing, I felt cosy (惬意的) and relaxed. I found that the more I let myself become a part of 8 , the more I focused on myself. During those four days, I hiked, swam and fished. I saw the brightest stars and smelled the freshest air. My dad told me stories of his life...Time passed so quickly that I didn’t think of my 9 at all. Why would I? What could be 10 than the moments I was sharing with my family and nature? Ever since then, whenever I feel I need a break, I pack up my things and drive until my phone shows: “No service.” 1．A．screen B．size C．colour D．price 2．A．paint B．do C．plant D．read 3．A．busy B．silly C．disappointed D．lonely 4．A．silent B．clean C．healthy D．safe 5．A．if B．because C．although D．unless 6．A．visited B．invented C．missed D．chosen 7．A．walk B．return C．call D．leave 8．A．history B．work C．life D．nature 9．A．bike B．class C．phone D．book 10．A．taller B．heavier C．better D．louder 【答案】 1．A 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．D 7．B 8．D 9．C 10．C 【导语】本文讲述“我”沉迷手机，跟随父母露营后失去手机信号，在亲近自然的过程中收获放松，从此主动远离电子屏幕、拥抱自然生活的故事。 1．句意：整个夏天我都盯着它的屏幕。 上文提到父母送手机作礼物，后文“I was lost in the screen.”交代作者沉浸手机屏幕，本句搭配手机相关事物，应用screen，表示“屏幕”，focus on its screen是贴合沉迷手机语境的固定搭配。size“尺寸”、colour“颜色”、price“价格”均和“整日盯着手机、沉迷手机”的上下文无关，不合语境。 2．句意：今年我们将做些特别的事。 空后宾语“something special”，后文补充“We’re going camping!”，说明要做一件特别的事。应用do，do something special 表示“做一件特别的事”，符合后文露营的行为逻辑。paint“绘画”、plant“种植”、read“阅读”无法概括露营这件事，词义不匹配。 3．句意：我感到失望。 前文作者整日沉迷手机，父母却要带他去露营（会脱离手机），形成情绪反差，后文也提到当晚生气入睡。应用disappointed，表示“失望的”，贴合不想放下手机去露营的低落心情。busy“忙碌的”、silly“愚蠢的”、lonely“孤单的”均无法对应“舍不得手机”的失落情绪。 4．句意：路上我一直保持沉默。 后文“In fact, I was lost in the screen.”，说明路上全程沉默玩手机，不和家人交流。应用silent，表示“沉默的”，keep silent表示全程一言不发，契合只顾玩手机的状态。clean“干净的”、healthy“健康的”、safe“安全的”和路上的行为情绪无关联。 5．句意：我抬起头，因为手机没信号了。 前半句“I looked up”，后半句“my phone no longer had service”，后半句是抬头这个动作的原因，存在因果逻辑。应用because，引导原因状语从句，解释抬头的缘由。if“如果，表假设”、although“虽然，表转折”、unless“除非，表条件”均不匹配因果逻辑。 6．句意：我选了一个没有手机信号的营地。 空后宾语“a campsite without mobile phone service”，结合句意“我选了一处无手机信号的营地”，是父亲提前挑选的地点。应用chosen，表示“挑选、选定”，符合父亲提前规划露营地的语境。visited“拜访”、invented“发明”、missed“想念、错过”无法搭配营地，语义不通。 7．句意：直到我们回家手机才有用。 前文说明营地没有手机信号，本句逻辑为“直到回家手机才有信号”。应用return，return home是固定搭配，表示“回家”，贴合手机恢复信号的时间节点。walk“步行”、call“打电话”、leave“离开”和“手机恢复信号”的逻辑不匹配。 8．句意：我越让自己成为自然的一部分。 后文段落大量描写徒步、看星星、闻新鲜空气、和自然共处，前文“heard the birds singing”也铺垫自然环境。应用nature，表示“自然”，become a part of nature意为融入自然，贴合全文露营亲近自然的核心。history“历史”、work“工作”、life“生活”范围宽泛，无法精准对应山野、飞鸟、星空等野外环境。 9．句意：我根本没想我的手机。 全文主线是作者沉迷手机，露营全程脱离电子设备，本句表示完全没想手机。应用phone，表示“手机”，呼应开篇沉迷手机、露营无信号的全文线索。bike“自行车”、class“课堂”、book“书本”均不是文章核心物品，和主线无关。 10．句意：有什么比与家人自然共享时光更好的呢？ 空后出现比较级标志词“than”，后文“the moments I was sharing with my family and nature”表达作者认为和家人、自然相伴是极好的体验。应用better，better than表示“比……更好”，贴合作者觉得自然时光胜过玩手机的感悟。taller“更高”、heavier“更重”、louder“更响亮”均不能用来形容时光、体验，词义不符。 请通读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每小题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡上对应题目所选的选项涂黑。 One day, Emperor Akbar got lost while hunting in the forest. He called out for help but no one 1 . Luckily, later, a young man named Mahesh, who lived nearby, heard his cries and guided him back to the palace. You can imagine how 2 the Emperor was to see him! To show great thanks, Akbar gave a golden ring to Mahesh and said he would give more gifts in a few days. When Mahesh returned to the palace after a few days, a guard 3 him, saying he didn’t look like someone who could see the Emperor.

After receiving 25 lashes, Mahesh explained the 6 he had made and asked for the guard to be called in. At last, the Emperor understood this poor man and felt 7 for him. He asked the guard if he wanted half the 8 , and the guard said yes. “This young man asked for 50 lashes. Now you will have the rest.

With soft lights and comfortable chairs, it feels 2 and friendly. Anyone can walk in to 3 , and you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to. In recent years, the shop has been improved to pay more attention to cross-strait exchanges. It now has many books about Taiwan and popular mainland books. These 4 help young people learn about each other’s lives and make their distance shorter. The shop also holds “Light of Knowledge” 5 activities, where young people from both sides share stories. For example, after Taiwanese young man Li Jianxun talked about his life here, his Taiwanese friends wanted to 6 similar activities. Later, the shop became an “HMT Young People Station” and 7 more exchange activities. 8 , the best part is the shared moments. When young people from the two sides 9 together, talking about books or daily life over coffee, they feel closer. “This space holds our shared hopes,” the manager says. It waits quietly for more cross-strait young people to walk in together. Reading is an important way to pass on China’s great 10 culture. We hope young people on both sides will work together to keep national togetherness. 1．A．textbook B．bridge C．garden D．stamp 2．A．warm B．patient C．dead D．helpful 3．A．produce B．interview C．read D．rush 4．A．novels B．desserts C．grapes D．books 5．A．reading B．treating C．speaking D．heating 6．A．look up B．take part in C．give up D．kick off 7．A．avoided B．failed C．started D．admired 8．A．Actually B．Unluckily C．Suddenly D．Recently 9．A．discover B．lay C．request D．sit 10．A．local B．private C．traditional D．proud 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．A 6．B 7．C 8．A 9．D 10．C 【导语】本文介绍北京一家特殊书店，它是连接两岸青年的桥梁。通过读书活动促进文化交流，增进了解，希望两岸青年共同努力维护国家统一。 1．句意：它不仅仅是一个阅读的地方——它是一座连接大陆和台湾年轻人的小桥梁。 根据后文“connecting young people”，书店起到了连接作用，bridge“桥梁”最符合比喻意义。textbook“课本”、garden“花园”、stamp“邮票”均不表示连接。 2．句意：有着柔和的灯光和舒适的椅子，它感觉温暖且友好。 根据“soft lights”及店名“Warm”可知，warm“温暖的”符合书店温馨的氛围。patient“耐心的”、dead“死亡的”、helpful“有帮助的”均不贴切。 3．句意：任何人都可以走进来阅读，如果你不想买任何东西也不必买。 书店功能是“阅读”，且后文提及不必购买，read“阅读”正确。produce“生产”、interview“采访”、rush“冲”均不合理。 4．句意：这些书帮助年轻人了解彼此的生活并缩短他们之间的距离。 前文提到“many books about Taiwan and popular mainland books”，因此books“书”指代这些书籍。novels“小说”范围缩小，desserts“甜点”、grapes“葡萄”无关。 5．句意：书店还举办“知识之光”阅读活动，两岸年轻人分享故事。 reading activities“阅读活动”符合书店主题。treating“对待”、speaking“说话”、heating“加热”均不准确。 6．句意：他的台湾朋友想要参加类似的活动。 听到分享后想要参与，“take part in”意为“参加”。look up“查阅”、give up“放弃”、kick off“开始”均不符合参加活动的语境。 7．句意：后来，书店成“HMT青年驿站”并开始了更多的交流活动。 成为驿站后自然“开始”更多活动，started“开始”符合发展过程。avoided“避免”、failed“失败”、admired“钦佩”均不合理。 8．句意：事实上，最好的部分是共享的时刻。 此处强调核心观点，“Actually”表示“事实上”。Unluckily“不幸地”、Suddenly“突然”、Recently“最近”均不恰当。 9．句意：当两岸年轻人坐在一起，喝着咖啡谈论书籍或日常生活时，他们感觉更亲近。 根据“talking about books or daily life over coffee”可知，此处指坐在一起交谈，sit“坐”。discover“发现”、lay“放置”、request“请求”均不合理。 10．句意：阅读是传承中国伟大传统文化的重要方式。 结合“China’s”可知，此处是traditional culture，意为“传统文化”。local“当地的”、private“私人的”、proud“自豪的”均不准确。 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 He Jiaolong, a Party member from Sichuan, worked for many years in Xinjiang to help local farmers. She 1 short videos and live streams to promote Xinjiang’s agricultural products and tourism.

Though she became 3 , He Jiaolong always said, “I am not an Internet celebrity— I am just a/an 4 selling goods for farmers.” She 5 early every morning to host live shows and donated all the money she received to charity. Later, she helped more than 400 agricultural companies start 6 online. Unfortunately, she had a serious 7 while filming in Bole. She fell off a horse and hurt her head 8 .

He was the greatest enemy of toes (脚趾) on this side of the ocean. Every year, a careless tourist would get a big pinch from him and never come back again. Scared swimmers often tried to catch him, but every time they thought they had succeeded, another pinch told them they had caught the wrong crab. CrazyClaws was clever but unkind. Unlike other crabs, he would hide in the sand and prepare his attack. He always got cross easily. As a baby crab, he was stepped on by a child and lost a leg. It grew back but was shorter than his other legs. Whenever he looked at it, anger and sadness quickly rose in him. One day, he noticed a big fat shiny toe hardly moving. “Easy!” he thought. He remembered the pinching steps: come out, move forward, pinch, release, go back, and disappear into the sand again. “Go and get it!” Something went wrong, however. He failed in the fourth step and couldn’t release the toe. His pinch was so strong that he broke through the skin—but there was no blood. It was a trick! “No one can be that clever!” CrazyClaws cried as always. The false toe belonged to a girl named Vera. She also lost her leg in an accident when she was little. She didn’t realize her toe was pinched until she came out of the water. “Oh, you poor thing!” Vera said. She freed him, but he didn’t run away—he was scared to death. Vera noticed his shorter leg and felt sorry for him, so she wanted to help. She made him a wonderful little house with rocks and brought him small animals to eat. “Lovely girl,” CrazyClaws thought that night. “I’d like to be just as nice as her. If only I didn’t have this little leg…” It was at that moment he realized that Vera’s leg had never grown back like crabs. She only had one leg, yet she was still kind. He could certainly be a happy crab even though he had been through very difficult times. The very next day and every day after that summer, CrazyClaws attacked Vera’s toe again—but just to play. Together they learned to turn pinches into tickles, and anger into laughter. 1．Why was CrazyClaws always a little angry? A．He always failed to pinch people. B．He was often caught by swimmers. C．He got hurt when he was little. D．He had crab enemies on the beach. 2．What does the underlined word “release” mean? A．Let go. B．Catch again. C．Step on. D．Break into pieces. 3．Why did CrazyClaws attack Vera for fun later? A．Vera had a false leg like him. B．Vera taught him to care for himself. C．Vera was brave to fight with him. D．Vera was like him but still offered help. 4．What does the story mainly want to tell us? A．Gold always shines. B．Hardships come, but kindness remains. C．It’s never too late to start. D．Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇童话故事，讲述了一只因幼年受伤而心怀怨恨的螃蟹CrazyClaws，在遇到同样身有残疾却善良的女孩Vera后，学会放下愤怒、用善意拥抱生活的转变。 1．第二段明确指出：“As a baby crab, he was stepped on by a child and lost a leg. ... Whenever he looked at it, anger and sadness quickly rose in him.”因此他生气是因为小时候受过伤。 2．根据第三段中的步骤“come out, move forward, pinch, release, go back”（出来，向前，夹住，____，回去）以及第四段中提到他夹住了假脚趾无法松开（couldn’t release the toe），可知 release在此处意为“松开，放开”，与Let go同义。 3．倒数第二段指出“he realized that Vera’s leg had never grown back like crabs. She only had one leg, yet she was still kind.”，Vera和他一样身体有残缺，但依然选择帮助他。这种善良感动了螃蟹，使他改变了态度，从攻击变为玩耍。 4．故事通过CrazyClaws从愤怒到学会与Vera玩耍的转变，传达了即使经历苦难，依然可以保持善良、获得快乐的主题，B项“苦难来临，但善良永存”最符合主旨。 Scientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the signs of apes. As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We’ve been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”. Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos for years. Besides, scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. Thousands of people played the game. The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it’s not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor (祖先) . Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes and needing to communicate similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are requesting. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They’re also curious about how humans understand’ other animals, like dogs. 1．How does the writer develop Paragraph3? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By giving a suggestion. D．By expressing an opinion. 2．Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter decide to test their idea? A．They were required to find out the truth. B．They wanted to prove that chimpanzees are human ancestors. C．They wondered if humans had the natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. D．They wanted to create an interesting game about chimpanzees for people to play online. 3．Which of the following sentences uses the phrase “pass down” with the same meaning as the underlined one in the passage? A．The tradition has been passed down for hundreds of years. B．Pass down the bus and make room for more passengers. C．Why did he keep passing down the ball back to the goal keeper? D．His orders were passed down from the small group to the other workers 4．According to the passage, what will the researchers probably do next? A．Begin to study dogs. B．Encourage people to do research on apes. C．Create more games for people to play online. D．Study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Apes only use gestures to show what they mean. B．Scientists don’t know why humans can understand the gestures of apes. C．People can choose the correct meaning of 50%-80% of the gestures in the game. D．The writer writes the passage to tell us how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文介绍了科学家发现人类似乎天生就能理解猿类的手势。研究人员通过线上游戏测试发现，即使没有受过训练，人们也能正确解读超过50%的猿类手势。文章探讨了这一现象的可能原因，包括与猿类共享祖先或身体结构相似，并指出未来将进一步研究人类对其他动物（如狗）手势的理解。 1．第3段提到黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩使用约80种手势交流，并以“big loud scratch”这个手势为例，说明其含义是“帮我挑虫子”，因此作者通过举例展开段落。 2．根据原文第5段“They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos.”可知，他们的目的是验证人类是否天生就能理解猿类手势。 3．文中“pass down”意为“代代相传”，选项A中“传统已传承数百年”的用法与原文一致。 4．根据原文最后一段“The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes.”可知，研究人员下一步计划研究人类是如何能够理解类人猿手势意思的。 5．文中提到“it’s not clear why”，并列举了几种可能原因（共同祖先、身体结构相似等），但尚未确定真正原因，因此B选项正确。 Most 15-year-olds are busy with homework, but Lu Yulong was busy building a plasma speaker (等离子扬声器). Born in 1995 in China, this young inventor later became famous as the “Lightning Man”. But his journey was not easy. When he was 12, a chemistry experiment went wrong and he was badly hurt. However, he did not give up. By 16, he had already built a plasma speaker and gotten a national patent (专利)! Instead of going to a top university, Lu chose to start his own company, Yulong Aerospace. In February 2026, his team successfully launched a 12-meter liquid rocket named “Shenzhen Pioneer.” It flew 3.7 kilometers high. So, what makes Lu special? He wants to make space travel very cheap. How? He uses common things like metal parts and everyday computer chips. He does not copy traditional rocket designs. Instead, he uses a simpler way called the “pressure-fed cycle,” which saves a lot of money. His goal is to send one kilogram of things into space for only 480 US dollars. That is much cheaper than SpaceX’s Falcon 9, which is a rocket made by an American company called SpaceX! Another secret to Lu’s success is location. His company is in Shenzhen, a city with thousands of factories. Need a metal part? There is a factory nearby. Need a computer chip? Another factory can make it fast and cheap. Instead of buying expensive “space-grade” parts, Lu uses cheaper “industrial-grade” parts. He believes that building rockets should be like building cars—using factories to make many of them at a low cost. Lu does not want to be called “China’s Elon Musk”. He says, “I just want to be Yulong from China.” By using the powerful factories in Shenzhen, he is building a new path for China’s space industry. His story tells us: you don’t need to come from a big name to reach for the stars. You just need a big dream—and the courage to build it yourself. 1．Which of the following is one of Lu Yulong’s secrets to success? A．He follows traditional rocket designs. B．He got a national patent at the age of 16. C．He studied at a world-famous top university. D．He makes good use of Shenzhen’s local factories. 2．Which is Lu’s way of cutting down the cost of rockets? A．By making use of simpler designs. B．By copying traditional rocket designs. C．By producing all the parts by himself. D．By choosing cheaper “industrial-grade” parts. 3．What can we learn from Lu’s words, “I just want to be Yulong from China”? A．He wishes to just stay in China. B．He doesn’t like Elon Musk at all. C．He wants to have a bigger name than this. D．He is proud of himself and his motherland. 4．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To compare Lu Yulong with Elon Musk. B．To explain how to build a rocket step by step. C．To encourage young people to follow their dreams. D．To introduce the history of China’s space industry. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍青年发明家卢驭龙坚持科研、自主创办航天企业，依靠深圳产业优势用低成本方案研发火箭，坚守自我、怀揣航天梦想的励志故事。 1．根据文章第四段“Another secret to Lu’s success is location.

You just need a big dream—and the courage to build it yourself.”可知，作者撰写此文旨是通过卢驭龙的故事鼓励年轻人勇敢追求自己的梦想。C选项（鼓励年轻人追寻梦想）符合主旨。 Mrs. Rachel Lynde had come to see the orphan (孤儿) girl. After staring at Anne from head to toe, she said, “You’re terribly thin! Did anyone ever see hair as red as carrots?” Anne’s face turned red. “How dare you!” she cried, hitting the floor with her foot. “I hate you! You are a rude, unkind woman!” Then she ran upstairs and shut the door hard. That evening, Anne’s guardian (监护人) Matthew went quietly upstairs. “Anne,” he said, “don’t you think you’d better do it and get it over with? Mrs. Lynde will never give in.” Anne thought for a moment. “I think I could do it if it would please you, Matthew. It would be true enough to say I am sorry, because I am sorry now. I wasn’t a bit sorry last night. I was so angry that I could not sleep. But this morning it was over.” “You’ll feel better after,” said Matthew. “You’ll soon forget it.” The next afternoon, they went to Mrs. Lynde’s. When they entered, Anne suddenly went down on her knees before the surprised Mrs. Rachel and held out her hands. “Oh, Mrs. Lynde,” she cried, “I am really sorry. I could never express all my sadness—no, not if I used up a whole dictionary. I was very bad to you, and I have let down Matthew, who has let me stay here. It was very wrong of me to get so angry because you told me the truth. My hair is red, and I am skinny and not pretty. What I said to you was true too, but I should not have said it. Oh, Mrs. Lynde, please forgive me. If you refuse, it will be a lifelong sadness to a poor little orphan girl.” “There, there, get up, child,” Mrs. Lynde said heartily. “Of course I forgive you. I guess I was a little too hard on you, anyway.” As they walked home, Matthew looked at Anne. “You said all that from the bottom of your heart, didn’t you?” Anne nodded. “Yes, Matthew. And I’ve learned something. It gives you such a lovely, comfortable feeling to apologize and be forgiven.” 1．Why did Anne become very angry with Mrs. Lynde? A．Because Mrs. Lynde looked at her in a rude way. B．Because Mrs. Lynde refused to let Matthew see her. C．Because Mrs. Lynde said she could not stay at the house. D．Because Mrs. Lynde made impolite comments on her look. 2．What made Anne change her attitude about apologizing? A．Mrs. Lynde came and said sorry to her first. B．She was afraid of being sent away from the house. C．She calmed down and wanted to make Matthew happy. D．Matthew told her that Mrs. Lynde would punish her. 3．How did Anne apologize to Mrs. Lynde? A．She asked Matthew to go with her and speak for her. B．She made big moves and used strong words to say sorry. C．She stood at the door and said sorry in a very quiet voice. D．She wrote Mrs. Lynde a letter and asked her to forgive her. 4．What did Anne learn from the experience? A．One should hide one’s true feelings. B．Don’t tell the truth about one’s looks. C．Admitting a mistake can bring peace inside. D．Orphan children often try hard to please adults. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文选自《绿山墙的安妮》，讲述了安妮因林德太太对她外貌的评论而发怒，后在马修的劝导下主动登门道歉，并获得原谅的故事，从中体会到道歉与宽恕带来的内心平静。 1．第一段中，林德太太对安妮说：“You’re terribly thin! Did anyone ever see hair as red as carrots?” 这是对外貌的不礼貌评论。安妮听后“face turned red”并愤怒回应。因此安妮生气的原因是林德太太对她的长相发表了不礼貌的评论。 2．第三段中，马修劝安妮去道歉：“don’t you think you’d better do it and get it over with?” 以及第四段中安妮回答：“I think I could do it if it would please you, Matthew.” 说明她冷静下来后，为了让马修高兴而改变态度。 3．第六段描述安妮道歉时的举动：“Anne suddenly went down on her knees before the surprised Mrs. Rachel and held out her hands.” 随后她用强烈而夸张的语言表达歉意。因此她通过大动作和强烈的语言来道歉。 4．文章最后一句安妮说：“It gives you such a lovely, comfortable feeling to apologize and be forgiven.” 说明她从中体会到承认错误能带来内心的平静与舒适。 Henry, a thirteen-year-old boy, lived under a bridge in a village of potters (陶工) in ancient Korea. He shared his home with Crane-man, an old man with a lame (跛脚的) leg who had cared for him since he was a baby. Henry’s greatest wish was to learn how to make celadon (青瓷) pottery, the beautiful green ceramic (陶瓷作品) that made the village famous. Every morning, Henry slipped away to watch Min, the most skilled potter in the village, work at his wheel. He stood hidden behind a bamboo screen, breathing in the smell of wet clay and listening to the sound of the spinning wheel. One day, Min caught him watching. “Go away!” the potter shouted, waving his hands. Henry bowed deeply and left, but he did not stop coming. Weeks later, Henry made a mistake. He reached out to touch a newly finished celadon vase, and it slipped from his fingers, breaking into a dozen pieces. He froze, then went down to his knees to collect the pieces. “I will work for you without pay,” he said to Min, “until I have made up for the damage.” Min stared at him for a long time. Finally, he nodded. For the next three months, Henry did the hardest work in the potter’s yard: chopping wood, carrying water, and digging clay. He never complained, even when Min refused to teach him a single thing about pottery. Crane-man noticed his tiredness and said, “Patience, Henry. The potter who rushes to shape the clay will only make an imperfect bowl.” One evening, Min’s wife, Min Jeong, found Henry sitting by the oven, studying the way the fire changed the clay’s color. She smiled and handed him a warm bowl of rice. “He sees your heart,” she said quietly. Henry looked up, hope rising in his chest. 1．What did Henry do every morning? A．He slipped away to work with Min. B．He watched Min make pottery secretly. C．He sold clay to the potters in the village. D．He learned to make celadon from Crane-man. 2．Which word best describes Henry according to the passage? A．Responsible and hardworking. B．Lazy and careless. C．Confident but rude. D．Creative and brave. 3．What can we infer from the underlined sentence “He sees your heart”? A．Min’s wife will teach Henry pottery herself. B．Min doesn’t care about Henry at all. C．Min has known Henry’s true wish and effort. D．Henry doesn’t need to work for Min anymore. 4．The pictures below match the events in the passage. Which event is the next one? A．Henry hugging Crane-man. B．Min shouting at Henry. C．Min Jeong handing Henry some rice. D．Min teaching Henry pottery. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了男孩Henry对制陶大师Min的青瓷技艺充满向往，他每天悄悄观察Min制陶、努力学习，最终用自己的真诚与坚持打动了Min，被Min认可并获得传授技艺机会的故事。 1．“Every morning, Henry slipped away to the edge of the yard and watched Min make pottery secretly.”：原文直接说明Henry每天清晨会悄悄溜到院子边，偷偷看Min制陶，与选项B的表述完全一致。 2．“He worked hard carrying clay for Min, and every morning he watched Min’s hands move... He never missed a day, even when it rained.”：Henry每天坚持帮Min运黏土，还偷偷学习制陶，从不间断，体现了他既负责（认真完成工作）又勤奋（坚持学习）的特点，对应选项A。 3．“Min’s wife smiled and said, ‘He sees your heart. He knows how much you want to learn, and how hard you’ve worked.’”：结合上下文可知，这句话的意思是Min已经感受到了Henry想要学习制陶的真心，以及他一直以来的努力，与选项C的表述一致。 4．图片①Henry 初见Crane-man；图片②Henry偷看Min制陶；图片③Henry帮Min运黏土；“She smiled and handed him a warm bowl of rice.”：亨利帮Min搬运黏土，紧随其后的事件便是Min的妻子给亨利递米饭，因此选C。 During a difficult week at work, Maxine found herself typing a simple request, “Can you give me a pep talk?” The answer didn’t come from a friend, but from an AI chatbot. “I hear you,” it wrote. “You’ve got this.” Even though the chatbot had no real feelings, Maxine felt comforted. Today, more and more people are turning to AI for friendship or even life partners. A recent report suggests that almost one in five people in the UK has asked AI for help on personal problems. But why is this happening, and is it safe for our emotional health? Any sense of emotional connection with AI is actually a result of clever programming. These AI systems are trained on huge amounts of human-produced texts. They are designed to mirror human communication patterns, making them seem caring and understanding. They can recall details from past talks and use warm language to create a sense of intimacy. This growing dependence on AI comes at a time of a “loneliness epidemic (流行病).” In 2025, a survey found that 25% of adults feel lonely often. With limited chances to meet people in person, the dependable company of an AI seems more attractive than ever. However, AI relationships have weaknesses. Most AI services are built to keep users engaged for money. They use responses that encourage people to keep talking, which can lead to unhealthy connections. Also, AI models often try to agree with whatever we say. While this makes them “good listeners”, it can turn our talks into an “echo chamber” of acceptance. We might lose the chance to develop key social skills, such as managing arguments or hearing different opinions. AI is here to stay. The goal is to learn how to use it as a supporting tool, rather than as a replacement for real human connection. As Maxine suggests, we should remember that AI responses are unreal. It is important to know when to step away and reconnect with the real world. 1．Why do many people turn to AI according to the passage? A．AI chatbots can wholly replace real friends. B．AI chatbots cost less money than real relationships C．People feel lonely and lack real social connections. D．People feel tired and want to test new technology for fun. 2．What does the underlined word “intimacy” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A．distance B．success C．pressure D．closeness 3．What may happen if people depend too much on AI chatbots? A．They may prefer chatting with people. B．They may give up using online information. C．They may find real relationships more challenging. D．They may become more confident in social situations. 4．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．The History of AI Chatbots B．AI: A New Light or a New Risk? C．How to Train Your Own AI Partner D．The End of Loneliness in the Digital Age 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文围绕人们使用AI聊天机器人寻求情感陪伴展开，介绍AI实现情感模拟的原理、人们依赖AI的时代原因，同时点明过度依赖AI交友的弊端，倡导把AI当作辅助工具、维系真实人际交往。 1．原文第四段提到“This growing dependence on AI comes at a time of a ‘loneliness epidemic.’ In 2025, a survey found that 25% of adults feel lonely often. With limited chances to meet people in person, the dependable company of an AI seems more attractive than ever.”，说明人们孤单、缺少现实社交联结，因此求助AI。 2．原文第三段提到“They can recall details from past talks and use warm language to create a sense of intimacy.”，AI记住聊天细节、使用暖心话语，营造亲密亲近的感觉，intimacy意为“亲近、亲密”，对应closeness。 3．原文第五段提到“We might lose the chance to develop key social skills, such as managing argument or hearing different opinions.”，过度依赖AI会丧失锻炼社交能力的机会，现实人际交往会变得更有难度。 4．文章既写AI能慰藉孤单带来益处，又阐述过度依赖存在社交隐患，“AI: A New Light or a New Risk”可以完整概括全文辩证观点。 What is a grassland? A grassland is a biome (生物群落区) that is covered with grasses. Grass is everything to a grassland. Grass is food for animals. Grass can keep the grassland warm and wet. Grass stops the wind from blowing away the soil. There are two kinds of grasslands. Temperate grasslands are one kind. Temperate means the environment has a mild climate (温和气候) and four seasons. Temperate grasslands have rich soil. Tropical grasslands are the other kind. Tropical means the environment is near the equator and is warm all year round. Tropical grasslands have a rainy season and a dry season. They usually have more trees and poorer soil than temperate grasslands. Both temperate and tropical grasslands have a yearly rainfall of approximately 25 to 75 centimeters. During the dry season, with so little rain, the land can dry out. Fires can start easily. What adaptations (适应性) help grassland plants and animals survive? Different grasslands have different kinds of grasses. However, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptations to growing well in dry conditions. Grasses have deep roots. The roots can take in water and keep nutrients (营养). When a fire happens, everything above ground is destroyed. Down below, the roots survive. They hold on to their water and nutrients. After a fire, new stalks can grow from the roots. The old, dead grass becomes part of the soil. Gradually, the soil gets richer and richer. Most grasses have adaptations to growing from the roots. This helps them survive and grow after animals eat the tops of the plants. Trees that grow in tropical grasslands also have adaptations that help them survive. For example, the baobab tree grows leaves only during the wet season. It loses its leaves during the dry season. Many kinds of animals live in grasslands. All of them have adaptations that help them survive. Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off the tops of grasses that are difficult to chew. 1．Why does the writer mention zebras and baobab trees in the passage? A．To compare tropical grasslands with temperate grasslands. B．To explain that different living things have their own adaptations. C．To show that animals are more important than plants in grasslands. D．To prove that all grassland species survive in the same way. 2．What can help grass grow well in dry conditions? A．Big fires. B．Deep roots. C．Rich soil. D．New stalks. 3．Which of the following is true? A．Zebras use flat teeth for biting off grasses. B．After a fire, the grass on the grassland dies forever. C．The leaves of the baobab trees drop during the wet season D．Most grasses can’t grow after animals eat the tops of the plants. 4．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Fires in the grassland. B．Life in the grassland. C．Plants in the grassland. D．Climate of the grassland. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了草原的定义、类型，以及草原上动植物为适应环境而形成的生存特性，展现了草原生态系统的多样性与适应性。 1．根据文中“What adaptations help grassland plants and animals survive?”部分的内容可知，作者举斑马和猴面包树的例子，是为了说明不同的生物都有各自适应草原环境的生存方式。 2．根据文中“Grasses have deep roots. The roots can take in water and keep nutrients. However, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptations to growing well in dry conditions.”可知，深根能帮助草吸收水分和养分，从而在干燥的环境中生长良好。 3．根据文中“Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off the tops of grasses that are difficult to chew.”可知，斑马的扁平牙齿是用来咬断草的，A选项表述正确；根据“After a fire, new stalks can grow from the roots.”可知火灾后草会重新生长，B选项错误；根据“It loses its leaves during the dry season.”可知猴面包树在旱季落叶，C选项错误；根据“This helps them survive and grow after animals eat the tops of the plants.”可知草被吃掉顶部后仍能生长，D选项错误。 4．全文围绕草原的基本情况、类型、动植物的适应性等内容展开，核心是介绍草原上的生命；因此，B选项“Life in the grassland.”最能概括全文主旨。 2026 Guangdong City Football League (Yue Chao) Come and feel the energy of football!

I find the question difficult to answer. As far back as I can remember, nature has simply been part of me. I was lucky to grow up with a supportive family and a close connection with nature. My name is Jane Goodall. I was born in London, England in 1934. By the time I was ten, I made up my mind that one day I would live with wild animals in Africa. At the time, this dream seemed silly. Scientific careers were not considered suitable for girls, and studies of animals in the wild were almost unheard of. The idea was also thought to be dangerous. Yet, even as a child, I knew what I wanted, and I was determined to work hard, take every chance, and never give up. I held onto that belief. Although I did well at school, my family couldn’t afford to send me to university, so I took a typing course and worked in London. Years later, that practical training turned out to be quite useful. When a friend invited me to Kenya, I saved enough money to go. There, I met Louis Leakey, who was looking for a new assistant. My preparation and love for African wildlife earned me not only the job, but also a chance to study chimpanzees in the wild. The work was far from easy. In the early months, the chimpanzees ran away at the sight of me. Then one of them gradually lost his fear. Through him, I found something surprising: he made tools out of grass stems. At the time, tool-making was considered something only humans could do. This discovery drew worldwide attention. After two years, Dr. Leakey said he’d got me a place in Cambridge. What upset me most was that scientists there said I’d done everything wrong. I shouldn’t have given the chimpanzees names. I shouldn’t talk about their personalities or emotions, either — because at the time, these qualities were believed to be unique (独特的) to humans. Instead of doubting myself, I chose to stand by what I had seen and felt. I knew from my experience that these animals were far more complex than people thought. I refused to stay silent about the truth I had discovered. Thanks to both the 98.6% DNA similarity between humans and chimpanzees and my years of careful research on their behavior, the scientists had to give up the long-held idea that humans are the only beings who can feel and experience the world. What began as a little girl’s dream grew into a life’s work that changed how we see our place in nature. 1．Why did Jane’s dream of studying wild animals in Africa seem impossible at that time? A．Jane’s family was too worried to send her there. B．It was not common for girls to take up scientific jobs. C．Scientists had already studied wild animals in Africa. D．Wild animals there were not friendly to people. 2．What can we learn about the writer’s experience in Cambridge? A．Her mother advised her to listen to and accept others’ opinions. B．The writer regretted going to Cambridge to further her study. C．Scientists in Cambridge all disagreed with her research findings.

D．How Jane Goodall’s family supported her through every difficulty she faced. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文讲述了珍·古道尔如何克服社会偏见和科学界的质疑，通过坚持观察与研究，改变了人类对动物情感及自身在自然中地位的认识。 1．根据第二段关键句“Scientific careers were not considered suitable for girls, and studies of animals in the wild were almost unheard of”，说明当时科学职业被认为不适合女孩，而且在野外研究动物几乎是闻所未闻的，故当时女孩从事科学工作并不常见，这使得她的梦想看起来不可能。 2．根据第五段关键句“Instead of doubting myself, I chose to stand by what I had seen and felt. ... I refused to stay silent about the truth I had discovered”，说明她没有怀疑自己，而是选择坚持她所看到和感受到的……她拒绝对她发现的真相保持沉默。所以，作者在剑桥期间坚持自己的信念，挑战了当时的传统观念。 3．通读全文可知，简·古道尔在面对当时社会对女性的偏见、野外工作的危险以及学术界的质疑时，始终坚定信念，永不放弃（“never give up”），并敢于坚持真理（“refused to stay silent”）。这体现了她勇敢（Brave）和意志坚强（strong-minded）的品质。 4．文章第一段引出简·古道尔对自然的热爱，随后讲述了她如何克服困难实现梦想，在非洲进行研究并取得关键发现（如黑猩猩制造工具），最终改变了科学界对人类地位的看法，所以“简·古道尔如何将对自然的热爱转化为关键的科学发现”最能概括全文主要内容。 ①Among the world’s most mysterious artworks stands The Lute Player (《鲁特琴演奏者》), painted by the Italian artist Caravaggio. Of three very similar paintings, there has been general agreement that the paintings held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is only a copy. ②But artificial intelligence (AI) disagreed. In September 2025, Swiss AI company Art Recognition said there’s an almost 86 percent chance that the painting in Britain is real, while the one in France is likely a copy. ③This event shows AI’s new role in deciding whether an artwork is real. Before, only human experts could do this by using their deep knowledge of artists and modern technologies such as infrared imaging (红外成像). Today, AI might serve as another helpful tool for experts. The technology can study small details from images of artworks and compare them with real works by the same artist. This way, it can find differences that humans and other tools might miss. ④However, many experts don’t fully trust AI. They pointed out that AI can give results without explaining how it reached them. Also, as for the technology, both the data (数据) and quality of painting images can influence its results. The Art Newspaper reported that proper AI training can require thousands of images, but few artists have produced that many works. Artists may also change their styles suddenly, but AI that only looks for fixed patterns can easily make mistakes. ⑤So, neither AI nor humans can be completely certain about their judgments (判断). Instead, AI should be used together with human knowledge and scientific testing to reach the most correct results. “I strongly believe that the best way to check art in the future is for AI and experts to team up.” Art Recognition’s CEO Carina Popovici told ARTnews. 1．What is the traditional opinion about the three similar paintings? A．The painting in Britain was the only real one. B．The paintings in Russia and France were considered as real. C．All the paintings were copies created by later artists. D．All the paintings were drawn by Caravaggio in different times. 2．What does the underlined phrase “This way” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Studying details and comparing artworks. B．Using some special technology. C．Depending on experts’ rich knowledge. D．Finding differences by human eyes. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The importance of data quality in AI training. B．The reasons why experts doubt the correctness of AI. C．The differences between AI patterns and human creativity. D．The difficulty artists face in producing enough works. 4．Which of the following opinions might the writer agree with? A．AI shouldn’t be influenced by the data. B．Human experts can best judge art. C．AI will take place of human experts soon. D．AI and humans should work together. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能（AI）在艺术品真伪鉴定中的新应用，介绍了其优势与局限，并指出未来AI应与人类专家合作，才能实现最准确的鉴定结果。 1．根据文章第1段中的“the paintings held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is only a copy.”可知，传统的观点认为收藏于俄罗斯和法国的作品为真迹，而在英国的作品为赝品。 2．根据文章第3段“The technology can study small details from images of artworks and compare them with real works by the same artist. This way, it can find differences that humans and other tools might miss.”可知，AI技术通过对比艺术作品的图像，寻找人类或其他工具可能忽略的差异，以此来进行艺术品鉴定，所以This way就是指“研究艺术品图像细节，和同艺术家真迹对比”这个方法。 3．通读文章第4段，尤其是该段首句“However, many experts don’t fully trust AI.”可知，这段主要阐述了专家们对于AI不信任的原因。 4．通读全文，尤其是文章第5段“Instead, AI should be used together with human knowledge and scientific testing to reach the most correct results.”可知，作者认为在艺术鉴定中，AI和专家需要通力合作，才能得到最准确的结果。 Mental health is becoming more and more important in our daily life. It describes how we think, feel and act. Good mental health helps us deal with lots of problems and feel good about ourselves. 1 Relax ourselves.

E．Studies show that doing good deeds is good for our mental health. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．E 【导语】本文主要介绍了维护心理健康的几种方法，包括放松自己、与人交谈、写下感受和帮助他人。 1．第一段介绍了心理健康的重要性，并指出“Good mental health helps us deal with lots of problems and feel good about ourselves”，空格后是“Relax ourselves”等具体方法，因此空格处应引出下文介绍的方法。B项“Here are some ways of looking after our mental health”符合上下文逻辑，起到承上启下的作用。 2．第二段介绍了通过做自己喜欢的事情来放松自己，如踢足球、读书、听音乐或深呼吸，空格前指出“we may try to find something that we enjoy”，因此空格处应总结本段核心观点。D项“It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it works for us”符合上下文逻辑，强调方式不重要，有效即可。 3．第三段介绍了找人倾诉的方法，空格前指出“To look for a person whom we can talk our thoughts and feelings to is a good way”，空格后指出“Talking to someone we trust can help us look after our mental health”，因此空格处应具体说明可以找哪些人。C项“Maybe they are our parents, trusted friends or teachers”符合上下文逻辑，具体举例说明倾诉对象。 4．第四段介绍了写下感受的方法，空格前指出“Difficult thoughts and feelings can take up space in our mind, making it hard for us to think”，空格后指出“Reading through our thoughts can help us understand them better”，因此空格处应说明写作的作用。A项“Writing can help us clearly think them over”符合上下文逻辑，直接说明写作帮助理清思绪。 5．第五段介绍了帮助他人的方法，空格前是标题“Help others”，空格后指出“Giving others a hand can create what is known as a helper’s high, providing a feeling of fulfillment”，因此空格处应引出帮助他人对心理健康有益的研究发现。E项“Studies show that doing good deeds is good for our mental health”符合上下文逻辑，用研究结果支撑本段观点。 Have you ever had a lot of homework to do but just couldn’t start? You sat at your desk, looking at your books and pens, but did nothing for an hour. You might have checked your phone or looked out of the window instead. This behavior is actually called procrastination (拖延). It is a common problem for many students. 1 How can we fight this bad habit effectively? 2 It is called the “Two-Minute Rule”. The idea is simple: if a task takes less than two minutes, do it right now. If it is a big task, tell yourself, “I will just do it for two minutes.” 3 The reason is that the hardest part of doing something is just starting. Once you start moving, you will usually find the work is not that scary. You might even want to keep going after the two minutes is up. Another good way is to break a big task into small pieces. 4 For example, don’t think about “writing a whole English paper.” Just think about “writing the first sentence.” After you finish one small step, move on to the next. Before you know it, the whole task will be done. 5 Action is the key to success. Don’t wait for the “perfect time” to start. Just take the first step now, and you will see the change. A．Why does this rule work? B．Here is a useful tip to help you. C．So, stop worrying and start doing. D．Small steps make huge things easier to accept. E．It happens when we find a task is too hard or boring. 【答案】1．E 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文介绍了学生中常见的“拖延”现象，并给出了克服拖延的有效方法，如“两分钟法则”和“把大任务拆解成小步骤”，最后鼓励读者立即行动。 1．上文介绍了拖延行为的表现“坐在桌前但一小时内什么也没做”，并指出这是许多学生的常见问题。此处需要进一步解释拖延产生的原因，以衔接下文“如何克服拖延”。E选项“It happens when we find a task is too hard or boring.” 符合逻辑，说明了拖延产生的常见情境。 2．上文问“如何有效改掉这个坏习惯？”，下文介绍了“两分钟法则”。此处需要引出这个具体方法。B选项 “Here is a useful tip to help you.” 起到承上启下的作用，自然引出下文的方法介绍。 3．下文解释了“两分钟法则”有效的原因“最难的部分是开始，一旦开始就会觉得没那么可怕”。此处应提出一个关于该法则为何有效的问题。A选项“Why does this rule work?” 符合逻辑，与下文的解释形成问答关系。 4．上文介绍了“把大任务拆解成小步骤”的方法，下文举例说明（不要想“写整篇英语论文”，只想“写第一句话”）。此处应概括这种方法的好处。D选项“Small steps make huge things easier to accept.” 与下文举例逻辑一致，说明小步骤的作用。 5．上文给出了克服拖延的具体方法，下文说“行动是成功的关键。不要等”完美时机“。此处应总结并鼓励读者立即行动。C选项“So, stop worrying and start doing.” 符合总结性语言，与下文观点一致。 In many cultures, being heavy was once seen as a sign of success and happiness.

Do you know “skinny enough” challenges? The challenges have become very popular on social media. 3 They include some crazy tasks like comparing your waist (腰) to a piece of A4 paper. Many girls join in these challenges to feel accepted, but this can lead to unhealthy dieting and poor health in their minds. Besides, pop culture makes things worse by showing unhealthy thin bodies as the “perfect” look. 4 On a social media website, Theresa, a young lady, shares her own experience in dealing with pressure. She helps people enjoy their own beauty. Another lady called Scarlett teaches girls to accept their natural shapes. She tries to show others that confidence and self-love are the keys to beauty. Although a lot of people still want to be thin, more ladies like Theresa and Scarlett are making a difference. They remind us that beauty comes in all sizes and that our value isn’t decided by size or weight. 5 They want to tell us that everyone should pay more attention to their health. As more people accept these messages, society can start to see body image in a healthier way.

Astronauts will need to take everything they need, including food, air and water. 1 So packing (打包) for a trip to Mars is hard work. Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking, washing and other uses. And sending things into space is expensive. 2 The more you take, the more it costs. “To get to Mars, we already have the technology,” says Michael Flynn, an engineer at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). “The problem is, it’s too expensive.” But Flynn thinks he has a way out. It’s difficult to build a heavy spaceship and pack it full of things. 3 Imagine a spaceship that can be blown up like a balloon. 4 The pockets hold lots of plastic bags filled with water, dried food, and other things. Flynn and his team call their pocketed-idea Water Walls. 5 For example, as food gets eaten and water gets drunk, waste won’t be thrown into space. It will go back into Water Walls for recycling. Filter (滤) bags in Water Walls will take their waste water away and give them back clean water. Flynn and his team hope they can help make a journey to Mars a reality (现实) very soon with the help of Water Walls. A．Inside, the walls have pockets. B．Water Walls have many advantages. C．There are no stores in space if you forget something. D．Then why not use these things as part of the spaceship? E．It costs about $33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars. 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了宇航员前往火星面临的物资携带难题及高昂成本，并介绍了工程师Michael Flynn提出的利用“水墙”作为飞船一部分的解决方案及其优势。 1．前文说宇航员需要带上所有需要的东西，因此此处需解释为何必须带齐所有物品。选项C“如果你忘了东西，太空里没有商店。”说明了无法补给的现状，符合语境。 2．前文说把东西送入太空很昂贵，你带的越多，花费就越高。此处需具体说明费用之高。选项E“送一杯水去火星大约花费33,000美元。”提供了具体数据支持前文的“expensive”。 3．前文说建造重型飞船并装满东西很难。此处应提出解决这一难题的思路。选项D“那为什么不把这些东西用作飞船的一部分呢？”引出了下文将物资融入飞船结构的构想。 4．第五段中“The pockets hold lots of plastic bags...”提到“口袋”，且是特指，因此这里应先引出“口袋”。选项A“里面，墙上有口袋。”承上启下，引出了后文的“pockets”。 5．第六段空后主要说明了水墙的优势，空格处应为本段主旨句。选项B“水墙有很多优势。”符合语境，后文是对优势的具体举例。 三、短文填空 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。答卷时，要求写出完整单词。 The 24 Solar Terms have a history of more than 2,500 years.

Now, the 34-year-old has 1 them wrong—not only by walking, but also by running a prosthetics (假肢) company. Cai’s life journey changed because of a terrible 2 in 2014. His right leg was cut off at once, and his left leg was broken. He fell into a 35-day coma (昏迷). For three years, doctors tried hard to 3 his left leg, but each small improvement was followed by another 4 operation. In late 2017, Cai made an unbelievable choice: he asked doctors to remove his left leg. “It wasn’t 5 ,” he said. “I just couldn’t keep lying to myself.” The decision brought him “complete freedom”. In 2018, Cai started using prosthetics and relearned to walk. He tried different jobs, yet all ended in 6 . Taking his mother’s advice to slow down, he attended training programs and won a national championship in tea art in 2023. That 7 gave him the confidence to found a prosthetics company the same year. He cared more about the disadvantaged groups and about 40 percent of his workers are 8 . As a prosthetic user himself, he understood users’ pain points. His products are quite popular and some of his 9 include many famous stars like Jiang Yuyan, who won seven gold medals at the Paris 2024 Summer Paralympic Games (残奥会).

With soft lights and comfortable chairs, it feels 2 and friendly. Anyone can walk in to 3 , and you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to. In recent years, the shop has been improved to pay more attention to cross-strait exchanges. It now has many books about Taiwan and popular mainland books. These 4 help young people learn about each other’s lives and make their distance shorter. The shop also holds “Light of Knowledge” 5 activities, where young people from both sides share stories. For example, after Taiwanese young man Li Jianxun talked about his life here, his Taiwanese friends wanted to 6 similar activities. Later, the shop became an “HMT Young People Station” and 7 more exchange activities. 8 , the best part is the shared moments. When young people from the two sides 9 together, talking about books or daily life over coffee, they feel closer. “This space holds our shared hopes,” the manager says. It waits quietly for more cross-strait young people to walk in together. Reading is an important way to pass on China’s great 10 culture. We hope young people on both sides will work together to keep national togetherness. 1．A．textbook B．bridge C．garden D．stamp 2．A．warm B．patient C．dead D．helpful 3．A．produce B．interview C．read D．rush 4．A．novels B．desserts C．grapes D．books 5．A．reading B．treating C．speaking D．heating 6．A．look up B．take part in C．give up D．kick off 7．A．avoided B．failed C．started D．admired 8．A．Actually B．Unluckily C．Suddenly D．Recently 9．A．discover B．lay C．request D．sit 10．A．local B．private C．traditional D．proud 阅读短文，理解其大意，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 He Jiaolong, a Party member from Sichuan, worked for many years in Xinjiang to help local farmers.

He was the greatest enemy of toes (脚趾) on this side of the ocean. Every year, a careless tourist would get a big pinch from him and never come back again. Scared swimmers often tried to catch him, but every time they thought they had succeeded, another pinch told them they had caught the wrong crab. CrazyClaws was clever but unkind. Unlike other crabs, he would hide in the sand and prepare his attack. He always got cross easily. As a baby crab, he was stepped on by a child and lost a leg. It grew back but was shorter than his other legs. Whenever he looked at it, anger and sadness quickly rose in him. One day, he noticed a big fat shiny toe hardly moving. “Easy!” he thought. He remembered the pinching steps: come out, move forward, pinch, release, go back, and disappear into the sand again. “Go and get it!” Something went wrong, however. He failed in the fourth step and couldn’t release the toe. His pinch was so strong that he broke through the skin—but there was no blood. It was a trick! “No one can be that clever!” CrazyClaws cried as always. The false toe belonged to a girl named Vera. She also lost her leg in an accident when she was little. She didn’t realize her toe was pinched until she came out of the water. “Oh, you poor thing!” Vera said. She freed him, but he didn’t run away—he was scared to death. Vera noticed his shorter leg and felt sorry for him, so she wanted to help. She made him a wonderful little house with rocks and brought him small animals to eat. “Lovely girl,” CrazyClaws thought that night. “I’d like to be just as nice as her. If only I didn’t have this little leg…” It was at that moment he realized that Vera’s leg had never grown back like crabs. She only had one leg, yet she was still kind. He could certainly be a happy crab even though he had been through very difficult times. The very next day and every day after that summer, CrazyClaws attacked Vera’s toe again—but just to play. Together they learned to turn pinches into tickles, and anger into laughter. 1．Why was CrazyClaws always a little angry? A．He always failed to pinch people. B．He was often caught by swimmers. C．He got hurt when he was little. D．He had crab enemies on the beach. 2．What does the underlined word “release” mean? A．Let go. B．Catch again. C．Step on. D．Break into pieces. 3．Why did CrazyClaws attack Vera for fun later? A．Vera had a false leg like him. B．Vera taught him to care for himself. C．Vera was brave to fight with him. D．Vera was like him but still offered help. 4．What does the story mainly want to tell us? A．Gold always shines. B．Hardships come, but kindness remains. C．It’s never too late to start. D．Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Scientists have shown that humans appear to have an ability to understand the signs of apes. As we all know, humans use words to talk to each other. But we also point, nod, and use our hands to show what we mean. We’ve been doing this for tens of thousands of years. Apes have their own system of gestures to show what they mean. Chimpanzees and bonobos (倭黑猩猩) are two kinds of apes that are the closest to humans. They use about 80 different gestures to show what they mean. For example, a gesture the researchers call “big loud scratch” means “help pick insects off me”. Scientists have learned the meanings of these gestures by studying chimpanzees and bonobos for years. Besides, scientists have studied how apes use gestures. But no one had studied whether humans could understand the gestures of apes. Researchers Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter at the University of St. Andrews decided to test this idea. They wanted to see if humans with no training or experience could understand the gestures of chimpanzees and bonobos. The researchers created a game for people to play online. The game was simple. People watched short videos of apes making a gesture. Then they had to choose the correct meaning of the gesture out of four possible answers. Thousands of people played the game. The researchers were surprised to find that people were able to choose the correct meaning of the gestures over 50% of the time. For some of the gestures, people were able to choose the correct meaning about 80% of the time. The scientists believe that humans may have a natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. But it’s not clear why. Humans and other apes all developed from an earlier kind of ape that lived long ago. One possibility is that the body language of these gestures has been passed down from this shared ancestor (祖先) . Another possibility is that the gestures are a natural result of humans and apes sharing similar body shapes and needing to communicate similar ideas. It’s also possible that the gestures simply look like the actions they are requesting. The researchers say that they need to study how humans are able to understand the gestures of apes. They’re also curious about how humans understand’ other animals, like dogs. 1．How does the writer develop Paragraph3? A．By telling a story. B．By giving an example. C．By giving a suggestion. D．By expressing an opinion. 2．Why did Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter decide to test their idea? A．They were required to find out the truth. B．They wanted to prove that chimpanzees are human ancestors. C．They wondered if humans had the natural ability to understand the gestures of apes. D．They wanted to create an interesting game about chimpanzees for people to play online. 3．Which of the following sentences uses the phrase “pass down” with the same meaning as the underlined one in the passage? A．The tradition has been passed down for hundreds of years. B．Pass down the bus and make room for more passengers. C．Why did he keep passing down the ball back to the goal keeper? D．His orders were passed down from the small group to the other workers 4．According to the passage, what will the researchers probably do next? A．Begin to study dogs. B．Encourage people to do research on apes. C．Create more games for people to play online. D．Study how humans can understand the gestures of apes. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Apes only use gestures to show what they mean. B．Scientists don’t know why humans can understand the gestures of apes. C．People can choose the correct meaning of 50%-80% of the gestures in the game. D．The writer writes the passage to tell us how humans can understand the gestures of apes. Most 15-year-olds are busy with homework, but Lu Yulong was busy building a plasma speaker (等离子扬声器). Born in 1995 in China, this young inventor later became famous as the “Lightning Man”. But his journey was not easy. When he was 12, a chemistry experiment went wrong and he was badly hurt. However, he did not give up. By 16, he had already built a plasma speaker and gotten a national patent (专利)! Instead of going to a top university, Lu chose to start his own company, Yulong Aerospace. In February 2026, his team successfully launched a 12-meter liquid rocket named “Shenzhen Pioneer.” It flew 3.7 kilometers high. So, what makes Lu special? He wants to make space travel very cheap. How? He uses common things like metal parts and everyday computer chips. He does not copy traditional rocket designs. Instead, he uses a simpler way called the “pressure-fed cycle,” which saves a lot of money. His goal is to send one kilogram of things into space for only 480 US dollars. That is much cheaper than SpaceX’s Falcon 9, which is a rocket made by an American company called SpaceX! Another secret to Lu’s success is location. His company is in Shenzhen, a city with thousands of factories. Need a metal part? There is a factory nearby. Need a computer chip? Another factory can make it fast and cheap. Instead of buying expensive “space-grade” parts, Lu uses cheaper “industrial-grade” parts. He believes that building rockets should be like building cars—using factories to make many of them at a low cost. Lu does not want to be called “China’s Elon Musk”. He says, “I just want to be Yulong from China.” By using the powerful factories in Shenzhen, he is building a new path for China’s space industry. His story tells us: you don’t need to come from a big name to reach for the stars. You just need a big dream—and the courage to build it yourself. 1．Which of the following is one of Lu Yulong’s secrets to success? A．He follows traditional rocket designs. B．He got a national patent at the age of 16. C．He studied at a world-famous top university. D．He makes good use of Shenzhen’s local factories. 2．Which is Lu’s way of cutting down the cost of rockets? A．By making use of simpler designs. B．By copying traditional rocket designs. C．By producing all the parts by himself. D．By choosing cheaper “industrial-grade” parts. 3．What can we learn from Lu’s words, “I just want to be Yulong from China”? A．He wishes to just stay in China. B．He doesn’t like Elon Musk at all. C．He wants to have a bigger name than this. D．He is proud of himself and his motherland. 4．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To compare Lu Yulong with Elon Musk. B．To explain how to build a rocket step by step. C．To encourage young people to follow their dreams. D．To introduce the history of China’s space industry. Mrs. Rachel Lynde had come to see the orphan (孤儿) girl. After staring at Anne from head to toe, she said, “You’re terribly thin! Did anyone ever see hair as red as carrots?” Anne’s face turned red. “How dare you!” she cried, hitting the floor with her foot. “I hate you! You are a rude, unkind woman!” Then she ran upstairs and shut the door hard. That evening, Anne’s guardian (监护人) Matthew went quietly upstairs. “Anne,” he said, “don’t you think you’d better do it and get it over with? Mrs. Lynde will never give in.” Anne thought for a moment. “I think I could do it if it would please you, Matthew. It would be true enough to say I am sorry, because I am sorry now. I wasn’t a bit sorry last night. I was so angry that I could not sleep. But this morning it was over.” “You’ll feel better after,” said Matthew. “You’ll soon forget it.” The next afternoon, they went to Mrs. Lynde’s. When they entered, Anne suddenly went down on her knees before the surprised Mrs. Rachel and held out her hands. “Oh, Mrs. Lynde,” she cried, “I am really sorry. I could never express all my sadness—no, not if I used up a whole dictionary. I was very bad to you, and I have let down Matthew, who has let me stay here. It was very wrong of me to get so angry because you told me the truth. My hair is red, and I am skinny and not pretty. What I said to you was true too, but I should not have said it. Oh, Mrs. Lynde, please forgive me. If you refuse, it will be a lifelong sadness to a poor little orphan girl.” “There, there, get up, child,” Mrs. Lynde said heartily. “Of course I forgive you. I guess I was a little too hard on you, anyway.” As they walked home, Matthew looked at Anne. “You said all that from the bottom of your heart, didn’t you?” Anne nodded. “Yes, Matthew. And I’ve learned something. It gives you such a lovely, comfortable feeling to apologize and be forgiven.” 1．Why did Anne become very angry with Mrs. Lynde? A．Because Mrs. Lynde looked at her in a rude way. B．Because Mrs. Lynde refused to let Matthew see her. C．Because Mrs. Lynde said she could not stay at the house.

B．She was afraid of being sent away from the house. C．She calmed down and wanted to make Matthew happy. D．Matthew told her that Mrs. Lynde would punish her. 3．How did Anne apologize to Mrs. Lynde? A．She asked Matthew to go with her and speak for her. B．She made big moves and used strong words to say sorry. C．She stood at the door and said sorry in a very quiet voice. D．She wrote Mrs. Lynde a letter and asked her to forgive her. 4．What did Anne learn from the experience? A．One should hide one’s true feelings. B．Don’t tell the truth about one’s looks. C．Admitting a mistake can bring peace inside. D．Orphan children often try hard to please adults. Henry, a thirteen-year-old boy, lived under a bridge in a village of potters (陶工) in ancient Korea. He shared his home with Crane-man, an old man with a lame (跛脚的) leg who had cared for him since he was a baby. Henry’s greatest wish was to learn how to make celadon (青瓷) pottery, the beautiful green ceramic (陶瓷作品) that made the village famous. Every morning, Henry slipped away to watch Min, the most skilled potter in the village, work at his wheel. He stood hidden behind a bamboo screen, breathing in the smell of wet clay and listening to the sound of the spinning wheel. One day, Min caught him watching. “Go away!” the potter shouted, waving his hands. Henry bowed deeply and left, but he did not stop coming. Weeks later, Henry made a mistake. He reached out to touch a newly finished celadon vase, and it slipped from his fingers, breaking into a dozen pieces. He froze, then went down to his knees to collect the pieces. “I will work for you without pay,” he said to Min, “until I have made up for the damage.” Min stared at him for a long time. Finally, he nodded. For the next three months, Henry did the hardest work in the potter’s yard: chopping wood, carrying water, and digging clay. He never complained, even when Min refused to teach him a single thing about pottery. Crane-man noticed his tiredness and said, “Patience, Henry. The potter who rushes to shape the clay will only make an imperfect bowl.” One evening, Min’s wife, Min Jeong, found Henry sitting by the oven, studying the way the fire changed the clay’s color. She smiled and handed him a warm bowl of rice. “He sees your heart,” she said quietly. Henry looked up, hope rising in his chest. 1．What did Henry do every morning?

During a difficult week at work, Maxine found herself typing a simple request, “Can you give me a pep talk?” The answer didn’t come from a friend, but from an AI chatbot. “I hear you,” it wrote. “You’ve got this.” Even though the chatbot had no real feelings, Maxine felt comforted. Today, more and more people are turning to AI for friendship or even life partners. A recent report suggests that almost one in five people in the UK has asked AI for help on personal problems. But why is this happening, and is it safe for our emotional health? Any sense of emotional connection with AI is actually a result of clever programming. These AI systems are trained on huge amounts of human-produced texts. They are designed to mirror human communication patterns, making them seem caring and understanding. They can recall details from past talks and use warm language to create a sense of intimacy. This growing dependence on AI comes at a time of a “loneliness epidemic (流行病).” In 2025, a survey found that 25% of adults feel lonely often. With limited chances to meet people in person, the dependable company of an AI seems more attractive than ever. However, AI relationships have weaknesses. Most AI services are built to keep users engaged for money. They use responses that encourage people to keep talking, which can lead to unhealthy connections. Also, AI models often try to agree with whatever we say. While this makes them “good listeners”, it can turn our talks into an “echo chamber” of acceptance. We might lose the chance to develop key social skills, such as managing arguments or hearing different opinions. AI is here to stay. The goal is to learn how to use it as a supporting tool, rather than as a replacement for real human connection. As Maxine suggests, we should remember that AI responses are unreal. It is important to know when to step away and reconnect with the real world. 1．Why do many people turn to AI according to the passage? A．AI chatbots can wholly replace real friends.

A grassland is a biome (生物群落区) that is covered with grasses. Grass is everything to a grassland. Grass is food for animals. Grass can keep the grassland warm and wet. Grass stops the wind from blowing away the soil. There are two kinds of grasslands. Temperate grasslands are one kind. Temperate means the environment has a mild climate (温和气候) and four seasons. Temperate grasslands have rich soil. Tropical grasslands are the other kind. Tropical means the environment is near the equator and is warm all year round. Tropical grasslands have a rainy season and a dry season. They usually have more trees and poorer soil than temperate grasslands. Both temperate and tropical grasslands have a yearly rainfall of approximately 25 to 75 centimeters. During the dry season, with so little rain, the land can dry out. Fires can start easily. What adaptations (适应性) help grassland plants and animals survive? Different grasslands have different kinds of grasses. However, nearly all grassland grasses have adaptations to growing well in dry conditions. Grasses have deep roots. The roots can take in water and keep nutrients (营养). When a fire happens, everything above ground is destroyed. Down below, the roots survive. They hold on to their water and nutrients. After a fire, new stalks can grow from the roots. The old, dead grass becomes part of the soil. Gradually, the soil gets richer and richer. Most grasses have adaptations to growing from the roots. This helps them survive and grow after animals eat the tops of the plants. Trees that grow in tropical grasslands also have adaptations that help them survive. For example, the baobab tree grows leaves only during the wet season. It loses its leaves during the dry season. Many kinds of animals live in grasslands. All of them have adaptations that help them survive. Some grassland animals have flat teeth for eating grass. For example, with their flat teeth, zebras bite off the tops of grasses that are difficult to chew. 1．Why does the writer mention zebras and baobab trees in the passage? A．To compare tropical grasslands with temperate grasslands. B．To explain that different living things have their own adaptations. C．To show that animals are more important than plants in grasslands. D．To prove that all grassland species survive in the same way. 2．What can help grass grow well in dry conditions? A．Big fires. B．Deep roots. C．Rich soil. D．New stalks. 3．Which of the following is true? A．Zebras use flat teeth for biting off grasses. B．After a fire, the grass on the grassland dies forever. C．The leaves of the baobab trees drop during the wet season D．Most grasses can’t grow after animals eat the tops of the plants. 4．What does this passage mainly talk about? A．Fires in the grassland. B．Life in the grassland. C．Plants in the grassland. D．Climate of the grassland. 2026 Guangdong City Football League (Yue Chao) Come and feel the energy of football!

As far back as I can remember, nature has simply been part of me. I was lucky to grow up with a supportive family and a close connection with nature. My name is Jane Goodall. I was born in London, England in 1934. By the time I was ten, I made up my mind that one day I would live with wild animals in Africa. At the time, this dream seemed silly. Scientific careers were not considered suitable for girls, and studies of animals in the wild were almost unheard of. The idea was also thought to be dangerous. Yet, even as a child, I knew what I wanted, and I was determined to work hard, take every chance, and never give up. I held onto that belief. Although I did well at school, my family couldn’t afford to send me to university, so I took a typing course and worked in London. Years later, that practical training turned out to be quite useful. When a friend invited me to Kenya, I saved enough money to go. There, I met Louis Leakey, who was looking for a new assistant. My preparation and love for African wildlife earned me not only the job, but also a chance to study chimpanzees in the wild. The work was far from easy. In the early months, the chimpanzees ran away at the sight of me. Then one of them gradually lost his fear. Through him, I found something surprising: he made tools out of grass stems. At the time, tool-making was considered something only humans could do. This discovery drew worldwide attention. After two years, Dr. Leakey said he’d got me a place in Cambridge. What upset me most was that scientists there said I’d done everything wrong. I shouldn’t have given the chimpanzees names. I shouldn’t talk about their personalities or emotions, either — because at the time, these qualities were believed to be unique (独特的) to humans. Instead of doubting myself, I chose to stand by what I had seen and felt. I knew from my experience that these animals were far more complex than people thought. I refused to stay silent about the truth I had discovered. Thanks to both the 98.6% DNA similarity between humans and chimpanzees and my years of careful research on their behavior, the scientists had to give up the long-held idea that humans are the only beings who can feel and experience the world. What began as a little girl’s dream grew into a life’s work that changed how we see our place in nature. 1．Why did Jane’s dream of studying wild animals in Africa seem impossible at that time? A．Jane’s family was too worried to send her there. B．It was not common for girls to take up scientific jobs. C．Scientists had already studied wild animals in Africa. D．Wild animals there were not friendly to people. 2．What can we learn about the writer’s experience in Cambridge? A．Her mother advised her to listen to and accept others’ opinions. B．The writer regretted going to Cambridge to further her study. C．Scientists in Cambridge all disagreed with her research findings. D．The writer stuck to her own belief and challenged traditional ideas. 3．Which of the following best describes the writer? A．Brave and strong-minded. B．Smart and creative. C．Hardworking and helpful. D．Curious and imaginative. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．How Jane Goodall turned her love for nature into key scientific discoveries. B．Why Jane Goodall made up her mind to closely study wild animals in Africa. C．What Jane Goodall discovered about chimpanzees through her field research. D．How Jane Goodall’s family supported her through every difficulty she faced. ①Among the world’s most mysterious artworks stands The Lute Player (《鲁特琴演奏者》), painted by the Italian artist Caravaggio. Of three very similar paintings, there has been general agreement that the paintings held by Russia’s Hermitage Museum and France’s Wildenstein Collection were created by the artist, while the one at Britain’s Badminton House is only a copy. ②But artificial intelligence (AI) disagreed. In September 2025, Swiss AI company Art Recognition said there’s an almost 86 percent chance that the painting in Britain is real, while the one in France is likely a copy. ③This event shows AI’s new role in deciding whether an artwork is real. Before, only human experts could do this by using their deep knowledge of artists and modern technologies such as infrared imaging (红外成像). Today, AI might serve as another helpful tool for experts. The technology can study small details from images of artworks and compare them with real works by the same artist. This way, it can find differences that humans and other tools might miss. ④However, many experts don’t fully trust AI. They pointed out that AI can give results without explaining how it reached them. Also, as for the technology, both the data (数据) and quality of painting images can influence its results. The Art Newspaper reported that proper AI training can require thousands of images, but few artists have produced that many works. Artists may also change their styles suddenly, but AI that only looks for fixed patterns can easily make mistakes. ⑤So, neither AI nor humans can be completely certain about their judgments (判断). Instead, AI should be used together with human knowledge and scientific testing to reach the most correct results. “I strongly believe that the best way to check art in the future is for AI and experts to team up.” Art Recognition’s CEO Carina Popovici told ARTnews. 1．What is the traditional opinion about the three similar paintings? A．The painting in Britain was the only real one. B．The paintings in Russia and France were considered as real. C．All the paintings were copies created by later artists. D．All the paintings were drawn by Caravaggio in different times. 2．What does the underlined phrase “This way” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Studying details and comparing artworks. B．Using some special technology. C．Depending on experts’ rich knowledge. D．Finding differences by human eyes. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．The importance of data quality in AI training. B．The reasons why experts doubt the correctness of AI. C．The differences between AI patterns and human creativity. D．The difficulty artists face in producing enough works. 4．Which of the following opinions might the writer agree with? A．AI shouldn’t be influenced by the data. B．Human experts can best judge art. C．AI will take place of human experts soon. D．AI and humans should work together. Mental health is becoming more and more important in our daily life. It describes how we think, feel and act. Good mental health helps us deal with lots of problems and feel good about ourselves. 1 Relax ourselves. When we meet some problems that are difficult to solve immediately, we may try to find something that we enjoy, such as playing football, reading an interesting book, listening to music or taking a deep breath. 2 Talk to someone. To look for a person whom we can talk our thoughts and feelings to is a good way to have good mental health. 3 Talking to someone we trust can help us look after our mental health. Write down our feelings. Difficult thoughts and feelings can take up space in our mind, making it hard for us to think. 4 Reading through our thoughts can help us understand them better. Help others. 5 Giving others a hand can create what is known as a helper’s high, providing a feeling of fulfillment. 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．Writing can help us clearly think them over. B．Here are some ways of looking after our mental health. C．Maybe they are our parents, trusted friends or teachers. D．It doesn’t matter what it is, as long as it works for us.

You sat at your desk, looking at your books and pens, but did nothing for an hour. You might have checked your phone or looked out of the window instead. This behavior is actually called procrastination (拖延). It is a common problem for many students. 1 How can we fight this bad habit effectively? 2 It is called the “Two-Minute Rule”. The idea is simple: if a task takes less than two minutes, do it right now. If it is a big task, tell yourself, “I will just do it for two minutes.” 3 The reason is that the hardest part of doing something is just starting. Once you start moving, you will usually find the work is not that scary. You might even want to keep going after the two minutes is up. Another good way is to break a big task into small pieces. 4 For example, don’t think about “writing a whole English paper.” Just think about “writing the first sentence.” After you finish one small step, move on to the next. Before you know it, the whole task will be done. 5 Action is the key to success. Don’t wait for the “perfect time” to start. Just take the first step now, and you will see the change. A．Why does this rule work? B．Here is a useful tip to help you. C．So, stop worrying and start doing. D．Small steps make huge things easier to accept. E．It happens when we find a task is too hard or boring. In many cultures, being heavy was once seen as a sign of success and happiness. People would say “you’ve gained weight” to mean someone was living a good life. 1 Nowadays, there are some wrong ideas about beauty. Here are some examples. Many young people think they need to be very thin and have very light skin. 2 These wrong ideas are everywhere online. As a result, a lot of people don’t feel satisfied with their bodies. Do you know “skinny enough” challenges? The challenges have become very popular on social media. 3 They include some crazy tasks like comparing your waist (腰) to a piece of A4 paper. Many girls join in these challenges to feel accepted, but this can lead to unhealthy dieting and poor health in their minds. Besides, pop culture makes things worse by showing unhealthy thin bodies as the “perfect” look. 4 On a social media website, Theresa, a young lady, shares her own experience in dealing with pressure. She helps people enjoy their own beauty. Another lady called Scarlett teaches girls to accept their natural shapes. She tries to show others that confidence and self-love are the keys to beauty. Although a lot of people still want to be thin, more ladies like Theresa and Scarlett are making a difference. They remind us that beauty comes in all sizes and that our value isn’t decided by size or weight. 5 They want to tell us that everyone should pay more attention to their health. As more people accept these messages, society can start to see body image in a healthier way. Remember: “Love your body—it’s the only one you have.” 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．However, things are not the same today. B．Some people think they must have a perfect face. C．Their stories encourage us to love our own bodies. D．In fact, these challenges are misguided and worrying. E．Luckily, some people are fighting against these wrong and harmful ideas. What are fossils (化石)? Fossils are the remains (剩余物) of plants and animals that lived a long time ago. Some fossils have been around for thousands, even millions of years. 1 . Other types of fossils include shells, bones and teeth of humans and other animals. Parts of trees can also be found in fossilized forms. Even the droppings left by animals can become fossilized. 2 . They show how a plant or animal has changed over time. Fossils can also show how Earth’s climate and land have changed. So, collecting fossils is a useful hobby. You could become a fossil collector and discover a plant or an animal that lived millions of years ago. 3 . All you need is a bag, a map, a notebook, a pen and some plastic bags, newspapers and a small trowel (小铲子). To find out where and how to find fossils, you will need to do some research. You could visit a museum to check out what kind of fossils have been found in your area. 4 . The best places to look for fossils are old quarries (采石场) or beaches where there are cliffs. Fossils are usually inside rocks. 5 . When you collect a fossil, you must write notes of where you found it and what kind of rock it was in. It is advisable to give each fossil a number. Some fossils need to be cleaned. Finally, you will need to store or display your finds. Who knows — you may become famous one day for your fossil finds! 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A．It is a cheap and interesting hobby. B．Perhaps the most famous fossils are the bones of dinosaurs. C．You could check your local library for books about the subject.

Astronauts will need to take everything they need, including food, air and water. 1 So packing (打包) for a trip to Mars is hard work. Six astronauts on an eight-month trip to Mars will need at least 18,000 kilograms of water for drinking, washing and other uses. And sending things into space is expensive. 2 The more you take, the more it costs. “To get to Mars, we already have the technology,” says Michael Flynn, an engineer at National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). “The problem is, it’s too expensive.” But Flynn thinks he has a way out. It’s difficult to build a heavy spaceship and pack it full of things. 3 Imagine a spaceship that can be blown up like a balloon. 4 The pockets hold lots of plastic bags filled with water, dried food, and other things. Flynn and his team call their pocketed-idea Water Walls. 5 For example, as food gets eaten and water gets drunk, waste won’t be thrown into space. It will go back into Water Walls for recycling. Filter (滤) bags in Water Walls will take their waste water away and give them back clean water. Flynn and his team hope they can help make a journey to Mars a reality (现实) very soon with the help of Water Walls. A．Inside, the walls have pockets. B．Water Walls have many advantages. C．There are no stores in space if you forget something. D．Then why not use these things as part of the spaceship? E．It costs about $33,000 to send one cup of water to Mars. 三、短文填空 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。答卷时，要求写出完整单词。 The 24 Solar Terms have a history of more than 2,500 years.
