In the painting, thin but strong bamboo grows on a cliff (悬崖), standing against strong winds. The dark and light ink and the crossing lines make the bamboo look real. A poem (诗) next to it praises the strong and brave spirit of bamboo. The bamboo in Zheng’s paintings tells us what kind of person he was. He never gave up. He also disagreed with bad old ideas. Zheng passed the imperial examination (科举考试) successfully. Later, he worked as a government officer (官员) for many years and won lots of people’s respect. But he did not want to follow the bad rules of the official world, so he left his job. Then he made a living by selling his paintings. At that time, people couldn’t understand Zheng, and some even laughed at him. But Zheng did not change. He kept his true love for art.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国古代著名画家郑板桥（Zheng Xie）的生平事迹及其艺术精神。文章通过描述他擅长画竹、辞官卖画以及像竹子一样坚韧不拔的性格，展现了一位伟大艺术家的风骨与情怀。 【4题详解】 划线句子“All the people in this world grow flowers, but I will plant bamboo only.”意为“这世上的人都种花，但我只种竹子。”结合全文，郑板桥一生爱竹、画竹，竹子象征着他坚韧、正直的品格。这句话通过对比，表达了他对竹子独特而深沉的喜爱，以及不随波逐流的高洁志向。 【5题详解】 根据文章第二段“A poem next to it praises the strong and brave spirit of bamboo.”以及前文描述的竹子在悬崖上迎风生长的景象，可知这幅画主要表现的是竹子的精神。 【6题详解】 根据文章第四段“But he did not want to follow the bad rules of the official world, so he left his job.”可知，他离职是因为不愿意同流合污。 【7题详解】 通读全文，文章从郑板桥的身份、画作特点、性格精神、生平经历以及后世评价等方面进行了全面介绍。 C On April 24, 2026, China celebrated its Space Day with the theme “Seventy Years of Reaching for the Sky, Exploring (探索) the Universe Together.” The event was held across three cities in Hainan Province—Haikou, Wenchang, and Sanya—each showing different aspects of China’s growing space program. In Wenchang, about 400 students visited the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site (海南商业航天发射场). They walked near rocket launch towers and command centers, listening to experts explain how rockets work. The students even touched rocket models and tried simulated (模拟的) launch operations. “I never thought I could stand so close to a real launch tower,” said one excited student. “It makes me want to become an astronaut.” The events included seven main activities: flag-raising ceremonies, space open days, science lectures, exhibitions, intellectual property discussions, painting activities, and light shows. These activities showed not only China’s achievements in space but also Hainan’s role as a rising center for space technology. China’s space program has made remarkable progress over the past seventy years. From launching its first satellite in 1970 to building the Tiangong Space Station, China has turned many dreams into reality. The Space Day celebrations remind young people that the future of space exploration lies in their hands. As one scientist noted, “Space is no longer just for a few countries. It belongs to everyone who dares to dream.” With more young people getting interested in space, China’s journey to the stars is far from over. 8. Where did about 400 students visit the launch site? A. In Wenchang, a city on Hainan Island. B. In Sanya, a famous coastal tourist city. C. In Haikou, the capital city of Hainan Province. 9. What can we infer from the student’s words in Paragraph 2? A. The student did not like the rockets. B. The student was bored with the visit. C. The student was more interested in space. 10.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍2026年海南举办中国航天日的各项庆祝活动。 【8题详解】 根据第二段中“In Wenchang, about 400 students visited the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site.”可知，学生们在文昌参观发射场。 【9题详解】 根据第二段中学生的话“It makes me want to become an astronaut.”可知，这次参观让学生对太空更加感兴趣。选项C“The student was more interested in space.（这名学生对太空产生了更浓厚的兴趣。）”符合推理结果。A选项“不喜欢火箭”、B选项“对参观感到无聊”都和原文情感相反。 【10题详解】 本句在描述中国航天事业多年来的发展成果，后文写出无数航天梦想变成现实，由此可以判断这是了不起的成就。Surprising and wonderful意为“令人惊叹的”，符合上下文；Ordinary and common“普通平常的”、Slow and difficult“缓慢艰难的”，均不符合本段赞扬航天成就的语境。 【11题详解】 全文围绕海南举办航天日的活动展开，介绍了活动地点、学生参观项目与各类主题活动。选项B“The 2026 Space Day celebrations in Hainan.（2026年海南航天日的各项庆祝活动。）”是文章主旨；其余选项都只是文中细节，不是全文中心。 D Good manners (礼仪) are important in our life. They tell us how to behave properly in different situations, and how to show respect to others. In China, good manners have a long history, and they are an important part of Chinese traditional culture. In ancient China, people paid great attention to manners. The famous thinker Confucius said that “Without manners, a person can’t stand in society”. He taught his students to be polite, respectful and honest. For thousands of years, Chinese people have been following the rules of good manners, and passing them down from generation to generation. Nowadays, good manners are still very important in our daily life. In public places, we should wait in line, keep quiet, and not throw rubbish everywhere. On the bus, we should give our seats to the elderly, the disabled and women with babies. When we talk with others, we should listen carefully, and not cut in on them. Good manners are not only important in our daily life, but also in cross-cultural communication. With the development of globalization (全球化), more and more people have the chance to communicate with foreign people. In this situation, knowing the manners of different cultures is very important. For example, in China, people often shake hands when they meet for the first time, but in some Western countries, people hug or kiss each other on the face. If we don’t know these cultural differences, we may make others unhappy, or even cause misunderstandings. Some people think that good manners are not important in modern life. But I don’t think so. Good manners can help us make more friends, get along well with others, and make the world a better place. They show our kindness and respect to others. No matter how the society develops, good manners will never be out of date. 12. What did Confucius say about good manners according to Paragraph 2? A. Good manners are more important for ancient people. B. We should pass good manners down to the next generation. C. Without manners, a person can’t live in the society well. 13. According to the passage, how do people in some Western countries greet each other when they first meet? A. B. C. 14. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Chinese Manners B. Good Manners: Never Out of Date C. Cross-cultural Communication Manners 15. What will the writer most probably talk about next? A. Some ways for teenagers to develop good manners in daily life. B. Differences between traditional and modern manners in China. C. The history of manners in other ancient countries like Egypt and Greece. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述礼仪在中国拥有悠久历史，从古至今都十分重要，它适用于日常生活与跨文化交流，作者认为无论社会如何发展，礼仪永远不会过时。 【12题详解】 根据第二段“Confucius said that ‘Without manners, a person can’t stand in society’.”可知，C选项“没有礼貌，一个人无法在社会上好好生活。” 与之表意一致。 【13题详解】 根据第四段“in some Western countries, people hug or kiss each other on the face. ”可知，对应西方国家初次见面礼仪是拥抱或亲吻对方的脸颊，图片C是亲吻脸颊，符合西方的问候习惯 【14题详解】 全文从古代中国讲到现代，从日常生活讲到跨文化交际，都在论证好礼仪无论何时都很重要，结尾也点明“No matter how the society develops, good manners will never be out of date.”。B选项“好礼仪：永远不过时”符合全文核心主旨。 【15题详解】 文章已经论述完好礼仪的重要性，结尾强调好礼仪不过时，按照逻辑，接下来最可能介绍培养好礼仪的方法。A选项“青少年在日常生活中培养好礼仪的方法”符合行文逻辑。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 I always admired my grandmother Jenny’s gardening skills.

B Zheng Xie, also known as Zheng Banqiao, was one of the most famous painters in ancient China. He was good at painting bamboo. He once said, “All the people in this world grow flowers, but I will plant bamboo only.” Zheng created many bamboo paintings. One of them is called “Bamboo and Stone”. In the painting, thin but strong bamboo grows on a cliff (悬崖), standing against strong winds. The dark and light ink and the crossing lines make the bamboo look real. A poem (诗) next to it praises the strong and brave spirit of bamboo. The bamboo in Zheng’s paintings tells us what kind of person he was. He never gave up. He also disagreed with bad old ideas. Zheng passed the imperial examination (科举考试) successfully. Later, he worked as a government officer (官员) for many years and won lots of people’s respect. But he did not want to follow the bad rules of the official world, so he left his job. Then he made a living by selling his paintings. At that time, people couldn’t understand Zheng, and some even laughed at him. But Zheng did not change. He kept his true love for art. He was just like the bamboo in his paintings — strong and growing on a cliff. Zheng was called “one of the greatest people in China in the past three hundred years”. His spirit and life story will be passed down with his great paintings and poems, influencing all Chinese people. 4. What did Zheng mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1? A.

C On April 24, 2026, China celebrated its Space Day with the theme “Seventy Years of Reaching for the Sky, Exploring (探索) the Universe Together.” The event was held across three cities in Hainan Province—Haikou, Wenchang, and Sanya—each showing different aspects of China’s growing space program. In Wenchang, about 400 students visited the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site (海南商业航天发射场). They walked near rocket launch towers and command centers, listening to experts explain how rockets work. The students even touched rocket models and tried simulated (模拟的) launch operations. “I never thought I could stand so close to a real launch tower,” said one excited student. “It makes me want to become an astronaut.” The events included seven main activities: flag-raising ceremonies, space open days, science lectures, exhibitions, intellectual property discussions, painting activities, and light shows. These activities showed not only China’s achievements in space but also Hainan’s role as a rising center for space technology. China’s space program has made remarkable progress over the past seventy years. From launching its first satellite in 1970 to building the Tiangong Space Station, China has turned many dreams into reality. The Space Day celebrations remind young people that the future of space exploration lies in their hands. As one scientist noted, “Space is no longer just for a few countries. It belongs to everyone who dares to dream.” With more young people getting interested in space, China’s journey to the stars is far from over. 8. Where did about 400 students visit the launch site?

They tell us how to behave properly in different situations, and how to show respect to others. In China, good manners have a long history, and they are an important part of Chinese traditional culture. In ancient China, people paid great attention to manners. The famous thinker Confucius said that “Without manners, a person can’t stand in society”. He taught his students to be polite, respectful and honest. For thousands of years, Chinese people have been following the rules of good manners, and passing them down from generation to generation. Nowadays, good manners are still very important in our daily life. In public places, we should wait in line, keep quiet, and not throw rubbish everywhere. On the bus, we should give our seats to the elderly, the disabled and women with babies. When we talk with others, we should listen carefully, and not cut in on them. Good manners are not only important in our daily life, but also in cross-cultural communication. With the development of globalization (全球化), more and more people have the chance to communicate with foreign people. In this situation, knowing the manners of different cultures is very important. For example, in China, people often shake hands when they meet for the first time, but in some Western countries, people hug or kiss each other on the face. If we don’t know these cultural differences, we may make others unhappy, or even cause misunderstandings. Some people think that good manners are not important in modern life. But I don’t think so. Good manners can help us make more friends, get along well with others, and make the world a better place. They show our kindness and respect to others. No matter how the society develops, good manners will never be out of date. 12. What did Confucius say about good manners according to Paragraph 2? A. Good manners are more important for ancient people. B. We should pass good manners down to the next generation. C. Without manners, a person can’t live in the society well. 13. According to the passage, how do people in some Western countries greet each other when they first meet? A. B. C. 14. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The History of Chinese Manners B. Good Manners: Never Out of Date C. Cross-cultural Communication Manners 15. What will the writer most probably talk about next? A. Some ways for teenagers to develop good manners in daily life. B. Differences between traditional and modern manners in China. C. The history of manners in other ancient countries like Egypt and Greece. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有一项为多余选项。 I always admired my grandmother Jenny’s gardening skills.

Among them, embroidery (刺绣) is another traditional art with a long history. It is recognized as part of China’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage. To let more people around the world know this ancient craft, a special Suzhou embroidery exhibition was held in London from March 5. Titled “Suzhou Embroidery: The Awakening of a 1,000-Year Tradition”, it was held at the Royal Geographical Society. It showed 58 works created by embroidery masters Yao Huifen, Yao Huiqin and contemporary (当代的) artist Wu Jian’an over ten years. The works ____________________.

She hoped the exhibition and on-site workshops could let foreign visitors experience the charm (魅力) of Suzhou embroidery in person.

She said that after returning to China, she started to truly appreciate (欣赏) Suzhou embroidery. “It’s important for the younger generation to protect these traditional handicrafts,” she said. “We should share them not just as China’s treasure, but also an important cultural legacy (遗产) for all humans.” 41.
