How would you know where to go? For thousands of years, humans have found clever methods to take directions. One simple way is to watch the sky. East is where the sun rises, and west is where it sets. That is the simplest sign. At night, ancient Chinese depended on the stars. The most useful one is the North Star. It stays almost still in the northern sky. Travelers followed it along their journeys across the desert. Sailors (水手) once used it to guide their ships on the sea. Nature offers you signs to read. For example, moss (苔藓) grows thicker on the wet dark north side of trees. That’s why in the forests of North America, hunters can easily tell the north is on the mossy side. Man-made marks are left to help. In the snowy Arctic, local people built stone statues (雕塑)—shaped like a person—as special signs. Travelers who saw one would know the right way. Even today, people still build them as marks or works of art. Tools give people a hand. About 2,500 years ago, the Chinese made sinan. It was often used to help people build houses facing south. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the compass (指南针) was invented. Sailors used it at sea to find their way and return home safely. Later, the compass spread to Europe. It was improved and used to explore unknown oceans and find new lands. Even long before modern technologies, people all over the world knew where they were going. ▲ 1．Complete the mind map according to the passage. (每空不超过6词) Finding Your Way 1.

(不超过25词) 主题02 （2025·湖北·中考真题）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。（注意每小题的词数要求） Would you rather live where it snows in winter or enjoy warm sunshine all year round? Some people prefer sunny weather. They think cold winters can be hard- short days make them sleepy and sad. The cold makes them stay inside, exercise less, and get sick easily. However, people in cold places find fun ways to enjoy winter! In Harbin, China, the Snow and Ice Festival starts in January and lasts until March. Artists cut ice from the Songhua River and build tall sculptures (雕塑) that are lit with colorful lights. By late December, visitors come to see this icy world filled with ice artworks and shining buildings. The beauty surprises them although it’s very cold! In Quebec, Canada, there’s an amazing Ice Hotel that is made of 2,300 ice blocks and 15,000 tons of snow! People love staying in its icy rooms for a special winter experience. Even kids in Sweden can enjoy making snow lanterns called Snolykta. They first make large snowballs, and then put candles inside to create warm lights. These simple lanterns light up the dark winter nights. These creative traditions show how people turn cold winter challenges into beauty and joy! With imagination, they make winter fun for everyone. Although it’s cold, there are so many fun ways to enjoy this special season. 1. Why do some people think cold winters can be hard?

Spring is a time when the land wakes up from its long sleep, and the fields are ready for crops (庄稼). If you are lazy in spring, you will get nothing in autumn. So, farmers seem to compete with time in spring. When I was a little girl, every weekend I was busy planting crops. Whatever it was, I had fun and learned a lot. For example, when we planted potatoes, we needed to cut the sprouted (发芽的) potatoes into pieces and made sure every piece of “seed” (种子) had one or two sprouts. It was really like a math game. Farm work is also teamwork. That’s why every spring field is busy with people of all ages working in it. While planting beans, my father dug small holes, and I carefully put some seeds into each hole. The work was hard and boring, but when we worked together, it seemed easier and more interesting. I felt magic of life in spring as well. In a few weeks, the seeds sprouted, encouraging us to care for them by watering and so on. As time went by, they grew into healthy plants. Because of these wonderful childhood experiences, I hold such a special feeling for spring. 1． is the best season to plant crops.（仅填1词） 2．If you don’t work hard in spring, you will .（不超过5词） 3．Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

It sets a wonderful example of using sports to push forward rural revitalization (乡村振兴) and turns the quiet place into a lively and hopeful home. Several years ago, most villagers made a living by keeping pigs. The environment was seriously polluted, and the village had no clear way to develop. People lived a poor and hard life at that time. Everything changed in 2017. Liu Jianqun, the village leader, came up with a creative plan—to build a baseball field. The first field was finished in 2018 and soon held its first big game. To everyone’s surprise, baseball became popular quickly. In 2025, a new international baseball stadium (体育场) opened, making it possible to host high-level competitions for both young and adult players. Baseball has brought great changes to Xujiadai. The village’s income (收入) rose from 1.3 million yuan in 2018 to over 6.9 million yuan in 2024. It has built a new industry chain covering sports, tourism, food and farm picking, providing over 500 jobs every year. The village also has a youth baseball team that has won many prizes.

It tells us the way energy from the sun moves through producers to consumers (消费者), then to decomposers (分解者). A producer is a living thing that makes its own food from the sun. A good example of a producer is a green plant, like a tomato plant or an apple tree. The plant takes in sunlight through its green leaves to make food. It keeps the food in its leaves, fruit, flowers and other parts. The food is useful to consumers. A consumer eats producers or other consumers for energy. These consumers can be insects, animals and humans. Insects, like grasshoppers (蚱蜢), eat producers and take in their energy. Consumers can also eat other consumers. For example, lions and tigers often eat other animals. In this way, energy moves from one living thing to another. A decomposer gets its energy from the dead bodies of both consumers and producers. Bacteria (细菌) and fungi (真菌) are the main decomposers. They break down dead plants and dead animals for energy. At the same time, they put back things which are useful for plants into the ground. Plants take in these useful things from the ground and make their own food from sunlight. And then the cycle starts again. Everything needs energy to live on. Every living thing is important in the food chain. If one part is broken, others will be in danger. Let’s protect nature and keep the balance (平衡) of it! Fill in the blank to show the way energy from the sun moves in nature.（限填1词） Sun → Producers → 1 → Decomposers. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music. It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy, but music does more than that. It can change the way a person shops. According to studies, the volume (音量) of music changes how people shop. Customers shop quickly when music in the store is very loud. They hurry through the store, but they buy just as much. When music is quiet, customers shop slowly. Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople. Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy. Familiar (熟悉的) music gives shoppers a good idea of time. People know the beginning, middle, and end of a familiar song. When customers hear music that is familiar, they don’t notice the time. When they don’t notice the time, they spend more time shopping and buy more. Many stores play old, happy music so customers feel good. When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store. Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop. Stores choose music that fits their products. A bookstore plays quiet classical music and jazz. It gives the store a serious and intelligent feeling.

It’s clean, safe, and will never run out. Around the world, people are finding creative ways to “catch” nature’s power! In Germany, many families put solar panels (太阳能板) on their roofs. The sun gives them free electricity and hot water. Some schools even use solar power to light up their classrooms. In the United States, big wind farms stand on open hills or even in the sea. The wind spins (旋转) the tall fans, and the spinning makes electricity. One windmill (风车) can power hundreds of homes. In China, the Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝) is one of the biggest power stations in the world. It uses moving water to make electricity. When water rushes down, it turns huge machines. Millions of families get their power from this “water power.” In Iceland, people dig deep into the earth to get hot water and steam. This is called geothermal (地热) energy. The hot water from underground heats their houses and swimming pools all year round. Even when it’s cold outside, their homes stay warm. In Brazil, some cars don’t use gas. They run on a special thing made from plants. This is called biofuel. It burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh. These smart ideas show us that we don’t have to pollute the Earth to get energy. With new energy, we can live better and protect our beautiful planet at the same time. Every small step can make a big difference! 1. Why is new energy good for us? List two reasons. 1 (列举2项，不超过9词) Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

Nowadays, children are expected to get closer to nature and learn in a different way. As a result, more parents and schools are choosing the countryside instead of busy cities for study tours. This growing preference has led to the popularity of rural (乡村的) study tours. Rural areas interest students with their rich resources (资源), including the beautiful natural views, long histories and special local culture. For example, a field in Hebei Province has become a popular study tour site for students to see how rice and crabs grow together. They can even plant rice themselves and study how water temperature influences crab growth there. Better village services also support the development of rural study tours. Over 90% of villages have 5G networks, and many village centers for sending and receiving goods have been built and put into use. Local people get a lot from the study tours. They make money by selling local food and running small hotels. In 2025, study tours in Chongqing’s Zhongyi Town created over 200 jobs and increased local income (收入) by 32% compared to 2020. Many young people return to the countryside to develop study tour projects. Ni Shuna, a post-90s farmer in Zhejiang, runs a farm that offers fruit picking and camping. She says, “Kids come here to explore and learn. It’s great to see their eyes shining with curiosity (好奇心), making everything meaningful.” 1．Why do more parents and schools choose the countryside for study tours? .

They carry special meanings and show the culture of the places they come from. In Wuhan, Hubei, there is a lovely cultural and creative doll—a little bird with garlic (蒜) on its head. Its name is “Suan Niao”, sounding like “Suan Liao” in the Wuhan dialect (方言). It means “Don’t worry about it and let it go.” On bus No.603 in Wuhan, there are “Suan Niao” dolls hanging on the glass door of the driver’s room. When passengers argue, the driver will take down the doll and press it. It will make a funny “Suan Liao, Suan Liao” sound. The passengers will smile when they hear it. Henan also has some wonderful cultural and creative dolls. The Cloth Tiger from Huaiyang is one of them. The tiger doll has a big head and a round body. On its face, there is a Chinese character wang. This makes the tiger look brave. Huaiyang is the home of Fuxi culture. The Cloth Tiger is a symbol of respect for Fuxi and Nuwa. And people think the Cloth Tiger can bring them good luck. Visitors to Henan can choose it as a gift for their friends and family. These cultural and creative dolls aren’t just toys.

But the rapid rise of AI is beginning to change that. Companies are already thinking about using AI to take over certain white-collar (白领) roles. This leads to an important question: Will the future still need many human workers? The change influences not only our future jobs but also what we’re learning right now. For years, schools have focused on getting students ready for knowledge-based jobs. Now, we need to rethink what we should really learn. In the past, machines were used for simple physical tasks. Now, AI can write, create apps, and manage information like humans, so some basic office jobs may start to disappear. However, AI is not good at tasks that need deep thinking, emotional (情绪的) understanding, or dealing with new situations. That’s why “soft skills” like teamwork, empathy (同理心) and creativity are becoming more important—they’re hard for AI to copy. The good news is these skills can be learned in schools. For example, writing about personal experiences helps build empathy, and working on community projects develops problem-solving and teamwork. A new challenge is many of us may depend on AI to finish tasks and fail to value the learning itself. But real understanding takes effort. We need to realize the value of learning step by step—through writing by hand, discussing ideas, and doing hands-on projects. That way, we can build key skills before using AI tools. No one knows exactly what jobs will look like in the future. But one thing’s for sure—don’t let tools take the place of real learning. Being able to work with others and solve difficult problems will never go out of style. The passage mainly discusses how AI influences our 1 .

A special sensor (传感器) can now be placed on a baby’s diaper (尿布). It checks when the baby needs changing and can even tell if the baby has a stomachache. The information goes to the parents’ smartwatch right away to let them know their little ones. Smart diapers help parents take better care of their babies, especially first-time parents who may feel nervous. This smart care is not just for babies. It is also for elderly people. In many cities, a friendly robot called Xiaoli lives with elderly people in their homes or in care centers. It can check their blood pressure, remind them to take medicine, and talk to them like a friend. If something seems wrong, such as a fall or a sudden health problem, it sends a message to their family right away. More companies are now making these helpful robots because many families need them to look after aging parents. These smart helpers are becoming more popular. The government is encouraging companies to use new technology like this to improve health care. However, the robots are still quite expensive and can only do simple jobs for now. But in the future, they will learn to do more, like cooking meals or calling a doctor. The goal is clear: technology will keep taking care of everyone’s health, from the youngest to the oldest members of the family. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

Yet good manners are always important because they show kindness and respect for others. Saying “please” and “thank you” are among the simplest ways of being polite. They show you notice and you are thankful for the nice things someone does for you. If you don’t, you’re treating someone like a servant who must obey you, and you don’t care that someone takes the time to help you. When I was a child, I disliked writing thank-you notes. But as an adult, receiving such notes always makes me smile on hard days. I’ve learned that writing these notes makes someone feel loved and special. Saying “excuse me” is an easy way to get attention and show good manners. Whether you’re asking for directions or needing help, starting with “excuse me” shows you value the other person’s time and feelings. This small phrase helps to continue the conversation freely. Sometimes, good manners require silence. Listening carefully and silently shows you value the speaker. Also avoid disturbing someone who is talking with another person. In most cases, their topic may be more important than what you have to say. Remember, good manners are not just about following rules; they are about making others feel valued and respected. 1．Good manners can show people’s for others.

It’s a symbol of new life with a long history in China. It is full of spring warmth and people’s hopes for a new year. It started in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the 24 solar terms system was finished in the Western Han Dynasty. In 2016, the 24 solar terms were added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List (非物质文化遗产名录). It usually comes around February 4 and ends on February 18. When the Start of Spring comes, the warmer days come, ice melts (融化) and plants grow. For farmers, it’s a key time for farm planning, guiding them to prepare fields and sow seeds. There are many interesting customs for it in China. People fly kites for good health and balance eggs for good luck. In Shanxi Province, people make a Spring Ox to know about the farm luck of the year. The most famous custom is “biting the spring”—people eat spring pancakes or spring rolls to welcome the new season. Today, it still influences modern life, connecting closely with Chinese food and health habits. People eat seasonal food to keep healthy, following the wisdom of living with nature peacefully. As an old saying goes, “The whole year’s work depends on a good start in spring”. It’s a treasure of Chinese wisdom. 1.

How would you know where to go? For thousands of years, humans have found clever methods to take directions. One simple way is to watch the sky. East is where the sun rises, and west is where it sets. That is the simplest sign. At night, ancient Chinese depended on the stars. The most useful one is the North Star. It stays almost still in the northern sky. Travelers followed it along their journeys across the desert. Sailors (水手) once used it to guide their ships on the sea. Nature offers you signs to read. For example, moss (苔藓) grows thicker on the wet dark north side of trees. That’s why in the forests of North America, hunters can easily tell the north is on the mossy side. Man-made marks are left to help. In the snowy Arctic, local people built stone statues (雕塑)—shaped like a person—as special signs. Travelers who saw one would know the right way. Even today, people still build them as marks or works of art. Tools give people a hand. About 2,500 years ago, the Chinese made sinan. It was often used to help people build houses facing south. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the compass (指南针) was invented. Sailors used it at sea to find their way and return home safely. Later, the compass spread to Europe. It was improved and used to explore unknown oceans and find new lands. Even long before modern technologies, people all over the world knew where they were going. ▲ 1．Complete the mind map according to the passage. (每空不超过6词) Finding Your Way 1. Situation: on a clear night Sign: the North Star Guide: It stays almost still and points north. 2. Read signs in nature Situation: . Sign: moss on trees Guide: It shows the north is on the mossy side. 3. Notice special marks Situation: in the snowy Arctic Sign: a stone statue Guide: It . 4. Depend on tools Situation: at sea Sign: . Guide: It tells where the south is. 2．Please write a sentence to fill in to end the passage. (不超过25词) 【答案】1． Watch the sky in the forests of North America shows the right way the compass 2．Humans’ great wisdom allows us to find our way through natural signs and various tools. 【解析】本文主要讲述了在现代技术出现之前，人类如何利用天空、自然迹象、特殊标记和工具这四种方法来辨别方向。 1．①由第二段“One simple way is to watch the sky”可知，第一种方法是在晴朗的夜晚观察天空。watch the sky表示“观察天空”，空处与“Read signs in nature”“ Notice special marks”和“Depend on tools”并列，故填Watch the sky。 ②由第三段“in the forests of North America, hunters can easily tell the north is on the mossy side”可知，在北美洲的森林中可以通过苔藓辨别方向。故填in the forests of North America“在北美洲的森林里”。 ③由第四段“Travelers who saw one would know the right way”可知，石像向旅行者指明正确方向。show the right way表示“指明正确方向”，此处句子陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语It是第三人称单数，show用单三形式。故填shows the right way。 ④由第五段“During the Northern Song Dynasty, the compass was invented. Sailors used it at sea to find their way”可知，水手在海上使用指南针。故填the compass“指南针”。 2．根据全文内容及最后一段“Even long before modern technologies, people all over the world knew where they were going.（即使在现代技术出现很久之前，世界各地的人们都知道他们要去哪里。）”可推知结尾总结句应概括全文内容，概括人类辨别方向的智慧和方法。 主题02 （2025·湖北·中考真题）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。（注意每小题的词数要求） Would you rather live where it snows in winter or enjoy warm sunshine all year round? Some people prefer sunny weather. They think cold winters can be hard- short days make them sleepy and sad. The cold makes them stay inside, exercise less, and get sick easily. However, people in cold places find fun ways to enjoy winter! In Harbin, China, the Snow and Ice Festival starts in January and lasts until March. Artists cut ice from the Songhua River and build tall sculptures (雕塑) that are lit with colorful lights. By late December, visitors come to see this icy world filled with ice artworks and shining buildings. The beauty surprises them although it’s very cold! In Quebec, Canada, there’s an amazing Ice Hotel that is made of 2,300 ice blocks and 15,000 tons of snow! People love staying in its icy rooms for a special winter experience. Even kids in Sweden can enjoy making snow lanterns called Snolykta. They first make large snowballs, and then put candles inside to create warm lights. These simple lanterns light up the dark winter nights. These creative traditions show how people turn cold winter challenges into beauty and joy! With imagination, they make winter fun for everyone.

Spring is a time when the land wakes up from its long sleep, and the fields are ready for crops (庄稼). If you are lazy in spring, you will get nothing in autumn. So, farmers seem to compete with time in spring. When I was a little girl, every weekend I was busy planting crops. Whatever it was, I had fun and learned a lot. For example, when we planted potatoes, we needed to cut the sprouted (发芽的) potatoes into pieces and made sure every piece of “seed” (种子) had one or two sprouts. It was really like a math game. Farm work is also teamwork. That’s why every spring field is busy with people of all ages working in it. While planting beans, my father dug small holes, and I carefully put some seeds into each hole. The work was hard and boring, but when we worked together, it seemed easier and more interesting. I felt magic of life in spring as well. In a few weeks, the seeds sprouted, encouraging us to care for them by watering and so on. As time went by, they grew into healthy plants. Because of these wonderful childhood experiences, I hold such a special feeling for spring. 1． is the best season to plant crops.（仅填1词） 2．If you don’t work hard in spring, you will .（不超过5词） 3．Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

(结合自身实际，不超过20词) 【答案】1．Spring 2．get nothing in autumn 3． planting beans I felt magic of life in spring 4．We should cherish and make full use of the valuable time in spring. 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，作者通过讲述儿时种庄稼、干农活的经历，表达了对春季的热爱，告诉我们应该珍视春季的时间。 1．根据第一段“Spring is a time when the land wakes up from its long sleep, and the fields are ready for crops (庄稼).”可知，春天是种植庄稼的最好季节。故填Spring。 2．根据第一段“If you are lazy in spring, you will get nothing in autumn.”可知，如果你在春天不努力，秋天你将一无所获。故填get nothing in autumn。 3．根据第三段“Farm work is also teamwork…While planting beans”可知，作者在种豆子的过程中感受到农活也是团队合作。根据第四段“I felt magic of life in spring as well. In a few weeks, the seeds sprouted, encouraging us to care for them by watering and so on.”可知，作者在给种子浇水，照顾它们的过程中感受到了春天里生命的魔力。故填planting beans；I felt magic of life in spring。 4．划线句子compete with time in spring意为“在春天里争分夺秒”，意思是让我们珍惜并利用好“春季”的时间。参考答案为：We should cherish and make full use of the valuable time in spring. （一） （2026·湖北襄阳·三模）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 Xujiadai, a small village in Zhejiang Province, has become China’s most famous baseball village by holding more than 100 baseball and softball games. It sets a wonderful example of using sports to push forward rural revitalization (乡村振兴) and turns the quiet place into a lively and hopeful home. Several years ago, most villagers made a living by keeping pigs. The environment was seriously polluted, and the village had no clear way to develop. People lived a poor and hard life at that time. Everything changed in 2017. Liu Jianqun, the village leader, came up with a creative plan—to build a baseball field. The first field was finished in 2018 and soon held its first big game. To everyone’s surprise, baseball became popular quickly. In 2025, a new international baseball stadium (体育场) opened, making it possible to host high-level competitions for both young and adult players. Baseball has brought great changes to Xujiadai. The village’s income (收入) rose from 1.3 million yuan in 2018 to over 6.9 million yuan in 2024. It has built a new industry chain covering sports, tourism, food and farm picking, providing over 500 jobs every year. The village also has a youth baseball team that has won many prizes.

It tells us the way energy from the sun moves through producers to consumers (消费者), then to decomposers (分解者). A producer is a living thing that makes its own food from the sun. A good example of a producer is a green plant, like a tomato plant or an apple tree. The plant takes in sunlight through its green leaves to make food. It keeps the food in its leaves, fruit, flowers and other parts. The food is useful to consumers. A consumer eats producers or other consumers for energy. These consumers can be insects, animals and humans. Insects, like grasshoppers (蚱蜢), eat producers and take in their energy. Consumers can also eat other consumers. For example, lions and tigers often eat other animals. In this way, energy moves from one living thing to another. A decomposer gets its energy from the dead bodies of both consumers and producers. Bacteria (细菌) and fungi (真菌) are the main decomposers. They break down dead plants and dead animals for energy. At the same time, they put back things which are useful for plants into the ground. Plants take in these useful things from the ground and make their own food from sunlight. And then the cycle starts again. Everything needs energy to live on. Every living thing is important in the food chain. If one part is broken, others will be in danger. Let’s protect nature and keep the balance (平衡) of it! Fill in the blank to show the way energy from the sun moves in nature.（限填1词） Sun → Producers → 1 → Decomposers. Fill in the blanks according to the passage.

Clothing stores for teenagers play popular music. It is exciting and makes the customers feel happy, but music does more than that. It can change the way a person shops. According to studies, the volume (音量) of music changes how people shop. Customers shop quickly when music in the store is very loud. They hurry through the store, but they buy just as much. When music is quiet, customers shop slowly. Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople. Quiet music is good for products that take time and information to buy. Familiar (熟悉的) music gives shoppers a good idea of time. People know the beginning, middle, and end of a familiar song. When customers hear music that is familiar, they don’t notice the time. When they don’t notice the time, they spend more time shopping and buy more. Many stores play old, happy music so customers feel good. When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store. Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop. Stores choose music that fits their products.

Because customers eat quickly and leave quickly, then other customers will have seats to sit when eating. 【解析】本文主要介绍了商店播放音乐如何影响顾客的购物行为，包括音量、熟悉度等因素对购物速度、时间和消费行为的影响。 1．第一段最后一句明确指出：“It can change the way a person shops.”因此答案为原文直接信息。 2．第二段中关于安静音乐的描述：“When music is quiet, customers shop slowly. Customers take time to look at the products and talk with the salespeople.”因此答案为原文直接信息。 3．第三段描述的是熟悉的音乐：“Familiar music gives shoppers a good idea of time... they spend more time shopping and buy more.”因此答案为原文直接信息。 4．第三段关于新音乐：“When customers hear new music, they forget about the world outside of the store. Some stores use new music so their customers relax while they shop.”因此答案为原文信息概括得出。 5．本题是开放性试题，答案不唯一。根据文章内容，快餐店通常希望顾客快速购买、提高翻台率，因此适合播放loud music。可结合自身实际回答，例如：“Loud music. Because customers eat quickly and leave quickly, then other customers will have seats to sit when eating.”合理即可。 （四） （2026·湖北黄石·三模）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求) Would you rather get energy from black coal or from the sun, wind, and water? Many countries are now using new energy. It’s clean, safe, and will never run out. Around the world, people are finding creative ways to “catch” nature’s power! In Germany, many families put solar panels (太阳能板) on their roofs. The sun gives them free electricity and hot water. Some schools even use solar power to light up their classrooms. In the United States, big wind farms stand on open hills or even in the sea. The wind spins (旋转) the tall fans, and the spinning makes electricity. One windmill (风车) can power hundreds of homes. In China, the Three Gorges Dam (三峡大坝) is one of the biggest power stations in the world. It uses moving water to make electricity. When water rushes down, it turns huge machines. Millions of families get their power from this “water power.” In Iceland, people dig deep into the earth to get hot water and steam. This is called geothermal (地热) energy. The hot water from underground heats their houses and swimming pools all year round. Even when it’s cold outside, their homes stay warm. In Brazil, some cars don’t use gas. They run on a special thing made from plants. This is called biofuel. It burns cleaner than oil and helps keep the air fresh. These smart ideas show us that we don’t have to pollute the Earth to get energy. With new energy, we can live better and protect our beautiful planet at the same time.

Nowadays, children are expected to get closer to nature and learn in a different way. As a result, more parents and schools are choosing the countryside instead of busy cities for study tours. This growing preference has led to the popularity of rural (乡村的) study tours. Rural areas interest students with their rich resources (资源), including the beautiful natural views, long histories and special local culture. For example, a field in Hebei Province has become a popular study tour site for students to see how rice and crabs grow together. They can even plant rice themselves and study how water temperature influences crab growth there. Better village services also support the development of rural study tours. Over 90% of villages have 5G networks, and many village centers for sending and receiving goods have been built and put into use. Local people get a lot from the study tours. They make money by selling local food and running small hotels. In 2025, study tours in Chongqing’s Zhongyi Town created over 200 jobs and increased local income (收入) by 32% compared to 2020. Many young people return to the countryside to develop study tour projects. Ni Shuna, a post-90s farmer in Zhejiang, runs a farm that offers fruit picking and camping.

But the rapid rise of AI is beginning to change that. Companies are already thinking about using AI to take over certain white-collar (白领) roles. This leads to an important question: Will the future still need many human workers? The change influences not only our future jobs but also what we’re learning right now. For years, schools have focused on getting students ready for knowledge-based jobs. Now, we need to rethink what we should really learn. In the past, machines were used for simple physical tasks. Now, AI can write, create apps, and manage information like humans, so some basic office jobs may start to disappear. However, AI is not good at tasks that need deep thinking, emotional (情绪的) understanding, or dealing with new situations. That’s why “soft skills” like teamwork, empathy (同理心) and creativity are becoming more important—they’re hard for AI to copy. The good news is these skills can be learned in schools. For example, writing about personal experiences helps build empathy, and working on community projects develops problem-solving and teamwork. A new challenge is many of us may depend on AI to finish tasks and fail to value the learning itself. But real understanding takes effort. We need to realize the value of learning step by step—through writing by hand, discussing ideas, and doing hands-on projects. That way, we can build key skills before using AI tools. No one knows exactly what jobs will look like in the future. But one thing’s for sure—don’t let tools take the place of real learning. Being able to work with others and solve difficult problems will never go out of style. The passage mainly discusses how AI influences our 1 .

(结合自身实际，不超过20词) 5 【答案】1．future jobs and learning 2．information 3．deal with new situations 4．soft skills like teamwork and creativity 5．I will learn more soft skills and value real learning. 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了人工智能（AI）的快速发展对未来工作和当前学习的影响，强调了人类需要培养AI难以复制的“软技能”，并呼吁大家不要让AI工具取代真正的学习过程。 1．第二段明确指出AI的影响：“The change influences not only our future jobs but also what we’re learning right now”，全文也始终围绕“AI冲击传统工作”与“学习内容需向AI难以复制的软技能转型”这两条主线展开，因此AI影响的对象是工作与学习。 2．第三段指出AI能做的事情：“Now, AI can write, create apps, and manage information like humans…”，可知AI可以管理信息，故填information。 3．第三段指出AI不擅长做的事情：“However, AI is not good at tasks that need deep thinking, emotional understanding, or dealing with new situations”，可知AI不能处理新情况。此处应填动词短语，和前面的两个动词原形短语保持一致，故填deal with new situations。 4．第三段指出“That’s why ‘soft skills’ like teamwork, empathy and creativity are becoming more important…The good news is these skills can be learned in schools”，可知我们可以学习软技能，故填soft skills like teamwork and creativity。 5．本题为开放性问题，答案不唯一，结合“AI时代学习和软技能的重要性”的观点，合理作答即可。 （八） （2026·湖北宜昌·一模）阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 In China, new technology is helping people stay healthy from the very start of life. A special sensor (传感器) can now be placed on a baby’s diaper (尿布). It checks when the baby needs changing and can even tell if the baby has a stomachache. The information goes to the parents’ smartwatch right away to let them know their little ones. Smart diapers help parents take better care of their babies, especially first-time parents who may feel nervous. This smart care is not just for babies. It is also for elderly people. In many cities, a friendly robot called Xiaoli lives with elderly people in their homes or in care centers. It can check their blood pressure, remind them to take medicine, and talk to them like a friend.

Yet good manners are always important because they show kindness and respect for others. Saying “please” and “thank you” are among the simplest ways of being polite. They show you notice and you are thankful for the nice things someone does for you. If you don’t, you’re treating someone like a servant who must obey you, and you don’t care that someone takes the time to help you. When I was a child, I disliked writing thank-you notes. But as an adult, receiving such notes always makes me smile on hard days. I’ve learned that writing these notes makes someone feel loved and special. Saying “excuse me” is an easy way to get attention and show good manners. Whether you’re asking for directions or needing help, starting with “excuse me” shows you value the other person’s time and feelings. This small phrase helps to continue the conversation freely. Sometimes, good manners require silence. Listening carefully and silently shows you value the speaker. Also avoid disturbing someone who is talking with another person. In most cases, their topic may be more important than what you have to say. Remember, good manners are not just about following rules; they are about making others feel valued and respected. 1．Good manners can show people’s for others.
