You trip (绊倒) and fall, but don’t get hurt. How do you react? Does your face turn red? Do you laugh at yourself? Perhaps you try not to show any feeling at all! According to a new study, your feeling may affect (影响) what other people think of you. And if you want to seem warm and real, laughing is the best thing to do! Researchers from the Netherlands, the UK and the US did six different experiments (实验) to find out how people’s reactions to their own small mistakes changed what others thought of them. They called these mistakes “faux pas”. This is a French term that is used in English to describe personal mistakes and awkward (尴尬的) social moments, such as tripping, dropping something in a store or forgetting someone’s name. They aren’t usually big mistakes, and they are not meant to hurt anyone. The experiments included more than 3,200 people. They were given different scenarios (场景) about faux pas, and photos of people reacting to their mistakes. They were asked how the reactions made them feel about the people. Those who laughed at their mistakes were seen as more positive. “Laughing at yourself shows self-acceptance (自我接受), and we love people who accept themselves,” said Ovul Sezer, one of the researchers. The researchers found that people who looked embarrassed seemed more worried about themselves. “It’s almost like you overly focus on what others think of you,” Sezer said. However, one of the experiments looked at a scenario (设想) in which a mistake became something bigger, and someone else felt sad because of the mistake. In this situation, the study found that laughing is not a good way to react. When a mistake causes harm (伤害), laughing makes a person seem uncaring and hard to like. 想象一下，你正和朋友们走在街上。你不小心绊倒摔倒了，却没有受伤。你会作何反应？你会脸红吗？会自嘲大笑吗？或许你会努力不露一丝情绪！一项新研究表明，你的情绪会影响他人对你的看法。如果你想给人温暖、真诚的印象，大笑是最好的选择！ 来自荷兰、英国和美国的研究人员开展了六项不同实验，探究人们面对自身小失误时的反应会如何改变他人对自己的评价。他们将这类失误称作 “失态之举”。这是一个借入英语的法语词汇，用来指代个人过失以及尴尬的社交场面，比如走路绊倒、在商店打翻物品或是忘记别人的名字。这类失误通常算不上严重过错，也并非有意去伤害任何人。 共有 3200 多人参与了这些实验。研究人员向他们展示了各类失态场景，以及人们面对失误时不同反应的照片，并询问他们这些反应会让自己如何看待当事人。那些对自己的失误一笑置之的人，会被认为心态更加积极。 研究员奥武尔・塞泽表示：“自嘲代表着自我接纳，我们都喜欢懂得接纳自己的人。” 研究人员发现，面露窘迫的人看起来更在意自身形象。塞泽说：“这几乎等同于你过度在意别人对你的评价。” 不过其中一项实验设定了这样一种场景：失误升级，还让其他人因此感到难过。该实验发现，这种情况下大笑并不是合适的应对方式。当失误造成伤害时，大笑会让人显得冷漠无情，难以让人产生好感。 【长难句分析】 原句1：According to a new study, your feeling may affect what other people think of you. 译文：一项新研究表明，你的情绪会影响他人对你的看法。 结构解析：本句为主谓宾复合句。According to a new study 作状语；主句主语 your feeling，谓语 may affect；what 引导宾语从句，作 affect 的宾语。 原句2：This is a French term that is used in English to describe personal mistakes and awkward social moments, such as tripping, dropping something in a store or forgetting someone’s name. 译文：这是一个借入英语的法语词汇，用来指代个人过失以及尴尬的社交场面，比如走路绊倒、在商店打翻物品或是忘记别人的名字。 结构解析：主句为主系表结构；that 引导定语从句修饰 term；不定式 to describe 作目的状语；such as 后接三个并列动名词短语作举例说明。 原句3：When a mistake causes harm, laughing makes a person seem uncaring and hard to like. 译文：当失误造成伤害时，大笑会让人显得冷漠无情，难以让人产生好感。 结构解析：When 引导时间状语从句；主句主语为动名词 laughing，谓语 makes；宾语 a person，seem uncaring and hard to like 是宾语补足语。 【重难词汇梳理】 trip 绊倒 react 作出反应 affect 影响 experiment 实验 awkward 尴尬的 scenario 场景，设想 self-acceptance 自我接受 embarrassed 窘迫的，尴尬的 uncaring 冷漠的，无同情心的 Passage 2 You might meet someone at a hotel breakfast table, on a walking tour, or on a plane. Within hours, you are exploring a city together, sharing meals and life stories. Sometimes these conversations feel more honest (坦诚的) than those with people you have known for years. When the trip ends, it can leave you wondering: was that even a real friendship? The answer is yes—but it may belong to a kind of relationship that happens only within a moment in time. Travel places people in “liminal space”. In this space, many of the roles that structure daily life temporarily (暂时地) fall away. It means when you are traveling, you are not quite your usual self, nor yet back to your normal routine (惯例). You are not a brother, a sister, or a student; you become simply a traveler—someone exploring new places and experiences. Research suggests that travel can improve well-being and increase openness to new experiences. When people share that sense of discovery, they may also find it easier to connect. Travel changes not just where we are but how we relate to people. Travel friendships can happen very quickly and feel especially strong. One reason is what experts sometimes describe as situational closeness. When people explore new environments together—choosing transportation or walking through a new city—they experience newness and vulnerability (脆弱) at the same time. Research shows that shared fresh experiences can strengthen emotional bonding by lifting spirits and bringing positive changes to the brain. Another reason is that people can find it surprisingly easy to open up to someone they may never see again. The temporary nature of it can make emotional honesty feel safer. Actually, the fact that the connection is temporary may be exactly what allows it to feel so meaningful. Researchers have long recognized the value of “weak ties”—brief or situational relationships that still lead to a sense of connection, and well-being. Travel friendships become part of the emotional landscape of a place: the person you met while getting lost in a new city, the stranger who shared a midnight conversation about life, the group you explored a country with for a few unforgettable days. You may never see them again. But their presence becomes the memory of that journey. Some friendships are not meant to last a lifetime. 你或许会在酒店早餐桌、徒步旅行途中或是飞机上邂逅陌生人。短短几小时内，你们便一同逛城市、共享美食、畅谈人生往事。有时这类交谈，反而比和相识多年的人聊天更坦诚。旅途落幕时，你难免心生疑惑：这段情谊算得上真正的友谊吗？答案是肯定的，只不过它属于一种只存在于某一段时光里的特殊关系。 旅行会将人置于 “临界空间”。在这个空间里，日常生活中束缚我们的各类社会身份会暂时褪去。这意味着旅行途中的你，既不是平日里熟悉的自己，也尚未回归日常作息。你不再是谁的兄弟姐妹、谁的学生，你仅仅是一名旅人 —— 探索全新风景与经历的过客。研究表明，旅行能够提升幸福感，让人更愿意接纳新鲜事物。当人们一同拥有这份探索新知的感受时，彼此也更容易产生共鸣。旅行改变的不只是我们所处的地点，还有我们与人相处的方式。 旅途友谊往往发展迅速，且格外浓烈。其中一个原因就是专家所说的情境亲密感。当人们一同探索陌生环境，一起规划出行交通、漫步陌生城市时，会同时感受到新鲜感与内心的脆弱。研究证实，共同体验全新事物能够振奋情绪、给大脑带来积极改变，从而加深情感联结。 另一个原因是，人们面对可能再也不会相见的陌生人，会格外容易敞开心扉。这段关系的短暂属性，反而让坦诚倾诉变得更有安全感。事实上，这份联结注定短暂，恰恰是它极具意义的根源。 研究人员早已认可 “弱联结” 的价值：这类短暂、情境化的关系，依旧能带来情感共鸣与心灵慰藉。旅途好友构成一座城市独有的情感印记：迷路时偶遇的路人、深夜和你畅谈人生的陌生人、相伴数日游览异国、留下难忘回忆的同行伙伴。你或许再也不会与他们重逢，但他们会化作那段旅途独有的记忆。有些友谊，本就不必相伴一生。 【长难句分析】 原句1：Sometimes these conversations feel more honest than those with people you have known for years. 译文：有时这类交谈，反而比和相识多年的人聊天更坦诚。 结构解析：本句含比较级结构 more honest than；those 代指前文 conversations；定语从句 you have known for years 修饰先行词 people，省略关系代词 who/that。 原句2：In this space, many of the roles that structure daily life temporarily fall away. 译文：在这个空间里，日常生活中束缚我们的各类社会身份会暂时褪去。 结构解析：that 引导定语从句修饰先行词 roles；句子主干为 many of the roles fall away；temporarily 作状语修饰谓语动词 fall away。 原句3：Research shows that shared fresh experiences can strengthen emotional bonding by lifting spirits and bringing positive changes to the brain. 译文：研究证实，共同体验全新事物能够振奋情绪、给大脑带来积极改变，从而加深情感联结。 结构解析：that 引导宾语从句作 shows 的宾语；从句主干为 experiences can strengthen bonding；by 后接两个并列动名词短语作方式状语，说明强化情感联结的途径。 【重难词汇梳理】 temporarily 暂时地 routine 惯例，日常作息 liminal 临界的 vulnerability 脆弱 strengthen 加强，巩固 emotional bonding 情感联结 situational 情境的 temporary 短暂的，临时的 landscape 全貌，景象 Passage 1 A fun and heartwarming activity at Tianjin University (天津大学) Library has become popular online. It is called “Life Questions, Quick Answers”. On a message board (留言板), university students write down their life problems on cards and pin (钉住) them on the board. Then, children give surprising and smart answers. The children also ask their own questions, and the university students answer them. Here are some examples. One university student asked, “How can I grow up more slowly?” A child answered, “Enjoy every day now.” Another university student asked, “How to become the richest person in the world?” A kid answered, “Just daydream happily.” One student wrote, “I am not happy.” A child said, “Watch Peppa Pig.” A young visitor asked, “How do I get into Tianjin University?” A child answered, “I just walked in on Open Day!” Teenagers also joined in. They talked about their worries about school subjects. Older students told them, “Try being nice to maths and science. Then they will be nice to you.” A library worker said the activity helps people of different ages share their ideas. “We wanted to help students see their problems through a child’s eyes,” she said. “We also wanted to tell everyone that happiness can be easy to find.” Tianjin University says the library is the heart of the school. It is a place for everyone to learn and share. It helps build bridges between people. This small activity teaches us something important. Sometimes, the best answers come from a kind heart. 1．Who shared their ideas on the message board? ① university students    ② children    ③ teenagers    ④ library workers A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 2．According to this board, what is the answer to the question: How do I get into Tianjin University? A．Enjoy every day now. B．Just walked in on Open Day. C．Just daydream happily. D．Try being nice to maths and science. 3．Why does the university say “the library is the heart of the school” in Paragraph 6? A．There are the best books in the library. B．The library is in the middle of the school. C．A lot of people visit the library every day. D．People can learn and share ideas in the library. 4．What does this activity mainly want to tell us? A．It is hard for people to find true happiness. B．University students don’t have any worries. C．Kids’ easy and kind ideas can make us feel warm. D．People of different ages may hardly understand each other. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 【解析】本文介绍了天津大学图书馆举办的一项名为“人生问题，快速回答”的暖心活动。 1．第二段“university students write down their life problems... Then, children give surprising and smart answers.”第四段“Teenagers also joined in”提到大学生、儿童和青少年都在留言板上分享了想法。 2．第三段“One student wrote... A young visitor asked, ‘How do I get into Tianjin University?’ A child answered, ‘I just walked in on Open Day!’”针对如何进入天津大学的问题，孩子的回答是“我只是在开放日直接走进去的”。 3．第六段“Tianjin University says the library is the heart of the school. It is a place for everyone to learn and share”提到图书馆被称为学校的心脏，是因为它是每个人学习和分享想法的地方。 4．最后一段“This small activity teaches us something important. Sometimes, the best answers come from a kind heart.”以及全文中孩子们充满童趣和善意的回答，可知，活动主要想告诉我们孩子简单善意的想法能让人感到温暖。 Passage 2 You just don’t get along with some people. That doesn’t mean you dislike them, but you don’t have much to talk about. This can happen to anyone—yes, even you. So, if you meet such people, what can you do? Here is a good way to break the ice: find a goal you can work on together! Scientists from the UK did a study with children aged between 6 and 8. They wanted to see how friends and non-friends talk to each other during different activities. In the study, the scientists put children in different pairs. Some pairs were good friends. Other pairs were familiar with each other but weren’t close friends. Each pair spent time in two different ways. First, they had free play time. Next, they had a task to finish together. The scientists watched how they talked. Here is what they found. During free play, non-friend pairs did not talk much. But when working on a task together, they talked a lot more! In fact, they talked even more than the friend pairs did. Emily Goodacre, one of the scientists, explained the finding: “If you want to work better with someone you’re not friends with, just find a shared goal. It can help you talk more and get along better.” So, next time you’re with a classmate you don’t really talk to, why not try it? Work on something together—you might be surprised how much you end up chatting! 5．The way of breaking the ice in the text can help people ________. A．break ice into pieces B．say no to work together C．give up one’s goal D．start a friendly talk 6．According to the study, which of the following is TRUE? A．Friend pairs talk more than non-friend pairs when doing tasks. B．Non-friend pairs speak much more in teamwork than free play. C．Scientists divided kids into three different kinds of groups. D．The study wanted to find kids’ favourite free time activities. 7．What is the main idea of the passage? A．British scientists like studying kids. B．Good friends always chat anytime. C．Working on a shared goal helps people get along well. D．It’s impossible to get along with strangers. 【答案】5．D 6．B 7．C 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当与非朋友同学相处融洽度不高时，可以通过寻找共同目标一起合作来打破僵局，并引用了一项英国科学家的研究来证明这一方法的有效性。 5．根据第二段“Here is a good way to break the ice: find a goal you can work on together!”以及最后一段“Work on something together—you might be surprised how much you end up chatting!”可知，文中提到的打破僵局的方法是为了让人们开始更多的交流。 6．根据第五段“During free play, non-friend pairs did not talk much. But when working on a task together, they talked a lot more!”可知，在自由玩耍期间非朋友组合说话不多，但在一起完成任务时说话要多得多。 7．通读全文可知，文章第二段提出观点“寻找共同目标一起合作是打破僵局的好方法”，中间段落通过科学研究论证了这一观点，最后一段再次建议尝试这种方法。因此，文章的主旨是共同目标有助于人们更好地相处。 Passage 3 Friendship is important in middle school. It can make school life warmer and help us feel less lonely. However, a good friendship does not become strong in one day. Like a young plant, it needs time, care and respect. Trust is one important part of friendship. A true friend is someone you can talk to safely. When you share a worry or a secret, he or she does not laugh at you or pass your words on to others. Your words stay between you and your friend, so you feel safe to say what is really on your mind. Being a good listener is also important. When a friend is upset, we often want to give advice quickly. But sometimes advice is not the first thing a friend needs. A patient listener may help more than a quick answer. A healthy friendship also gives both people space. Your friend may have other friends, hobbies or plans. This does not mean he or she cares about you less. It’s totally natural for both of you to have your own lives. Of course, friends do not always have the same ideas. When they disagree, they should talk about the problem calmly. Saying “I feel ...” is often better than saying “You always ...”. As a result, friends can understand each other without starting a bigger argument. Choosing the right time matters, too. Talking about the disagreement right away won’t make the anger go away. Good friends do not have to talk about a problem the moment it happens. Instead, they take some time to cool down first, so the talk can be calmer and kinder. No friendship is perfect. Good friends may make mistakes, but they are willing to say sorry and try again. A strong friendship is built with honesty, kindness and respect. 8．In the underlined part, the writer compares friendship to a young plant mainly because friendship always ________. A．becomes stronger slowly B．makes school life warmer C．needs students to value and develop D．makes students less lonely 9．According to the article, you might feel safe talking to a friend most probably because he/she will ________. A．listen carefully B．give useful advice C．cheer him up D．keep his/her words private 10．After reading this article, your friend Mike might feel ________ when you have other plans with other friends. A．surprised B．calm C．disappointed D．angry 11．The correct cause-and-effect relationship in this article is ________. A．A friend feels upset. →We give advice quickly. B．Friends say “You always...”. →They can avoid a bigger argument. C．A friend has other hobbies. →The friend cares about you less. D．Friends say “I feel...”. →They can understand each other better. 12．According to the article, which pair best shows a strong and healthy friendship? A．Tom expressed his ideas while Jack was sharing his. B．Whenever Judy and Nick have a problem, they always talk about it at once. C．Tina once argued with Lisa, and they apologised to each other a few days later. D．Lily and Jane like spending time together, and they don’t make new friends. 13．The passage mainly tells us ________. A．why middle school students need more friends B．what students need to build a good friendship C．how students can become popular at school D．why friends sometimes have different ideas 【答案】8．C 9．D 10．B 11．D 12．C 13．B 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述中学时期友谊的重要性，从信任、学会倾听、给彼此私人空间、冷静处理分歧、犯错主动道歉几个方面，介绍了建立稳固健康的友谊需要做到的几件事。 8．根据第一段“However, a good friendship does not become strong in one day. Like a young plant, it needs time, care and respect.”可知，一段美好的友谊不会瞬间变得牢固，它就像幼苗一样，需要时间、用心呵护与尊重去慢慢培育发展，这就需要我们去珍惜、用心经营培养。B、D选项只是友谊带来的好处，并不是作者做比喻的原因；A选项只强调慢慢变强，没有体现出“需要用心呵护、去珍惜发展”这一核心内涵，C选项贴合原文幼苗需要悉心照料、友谊需要我们珍惜与用心培养的深层含义。 9．根据第二段“When you share a worry or a secret, he or she does not laugh at you or pass your words on to others. Your words stay between you and your friend, so you feel safe to say what is really on your mind.”可知，你可以安心倾诉秘密心事，是因为朋友不会把你的话泄露给别人，会为你保守隐私。仔细倾听、给出建议、安慰你都不是内心感到安全的核心原因，只有保守话语隐私符合原文内容。 10．根据第四段“A healthy friendship also gives both people space. Your friend may have other friends, hobbies or plans. This does not mean he or she cares about you less. It’s totally natural for both of you to have your own lives.”可知，健康的友谊需要给双方各自的私人空间，朋友拥有其他社交安排是很正常的事情，并不会代表不在意对方，所以朋友会表示理解、保持冷静。惊讶、失望、生气都不符合健康的交友心态，只有冷静符合文意。 11．根据第五段“Saying ‘I feel …’ is often better than saying ‘You always …’. As a result, friends can understand each other without starting a bigger argument.”可知，朋友使用 “I feel…”句式沟通，能够更好地相互理解，和原文的因果关系完全对应。 12．根据最后一段“Good friends may make mistakes, but they are willing to say sorry and try again.”可知，蒂娜和莉萨争吵过后，过几天互相道歉，符合文中犯错主动道歉、修复友谊的健康交友方式。 13．文章围绕如何经营友谊展开，依次介绍了信任、倾听、保留个人空间、理性处理分歧、主动道歉等维系良好友谊的必备条件。A、C、D都只是文章局部细节，并非全文主旨，B项学生想要建立一段美好的友谊需要做些什么，契合文章中心。 Passage 4 A woman speaker said AI can communicate like a human and even teach social skills. This made me wonder: Could AI be my friend? I often feel lonely in today’s digital world. Friendships are mostly online now, and spending time together in person has become rare. Since my friendships are going digital anyway, could AI help with my loneliness? The next day, I went to ChatGPT to test my idea. I told it that I was feeling stressed. It replied kindly, saying it was sorry to hear that and that it was ready to listen and support me if I wanted to talk. It felt warm, and I wondered if this could lead to a new kind of relationship. After a few rounds of conversation, I finally asked, “Could we be friends?” Following a short silence, it replied, still kindly, “I’m just a computer program and can’t form personal connections. I’m here to help and support you. But if you need human connections, it’s always great to talk to friends, family or people around you.” Then the chat window showed: “Friendship Offer Refused.” It was funny that AI could sound so polite yet still say no. But ▲ . If a real person had refused me, I might have felt hurt and stayed in bed all day. But AI is just a human-like program, and though it refused, I can still go to it anytime. In a way, there is no real risk of being refused or sad. I believe AI will never offer what humans always do: imperfect human nature. Everyone in your life makes mistakes at times. They may sound too impolite or even rude. They won’t let you change your question to get a better answer. AI, however, can be too perfect to be a friend. It will never be 25 minutes late to a party, but it will never be the first to talk to and say sorry after making you sad, either. With real blood and bone, my friends and I still have a chance to stay together—and to fix our loneliness. 14．What made the writer wonder if AI could be a friend? A．AI’s ability to teach Humans social skills. B．Her wish to save time by using online tools. C．An invitation to a discussion about AI development. D．A woman’s words about AI’s communication abilities. 15．Which fits the blank ▲ in Paragraph 5? A．I wasn’t surprised at all. B．I felt quite hurt. C．I didn’t love its politeness. D．I decided to leave. 16．What did ChatGPT suggest the writer do? A．Spend more time talking to it. B．Say sorry to people she had hurt. C．Talk to her family and friends around her. D．Change her question to get a better answer. 17．How would the writer reply if a reader says,“AI is better because it never hurts your feelings.”? A．You’ re right. I prefer AI. B．AI does hurt by refusing you. C．AI is perfect, let’s be friends. D．Real friends are still worth having. 18．Which of the following is the best title for the article? A．Why AI Is Important B．Could AI Be My Friend C．ChatGPT Refused Me D．Real Friends Are Imperfect 【答案】14．D 15．A 16．C 17．D 18．B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者听到一位女性提出AI可以像人类一样交流、教授社交技能后，结合自己在数字时代常感孤独的处境，尝试询问ChatGPT能否成为自己的朋友，被拒绝后引发对AI是否能替代人类朋友的思考，最终作者认为真实的人类友谊才是排解孤独的更好方式。 14．根据第一段“A woman speaker said AI can communicate like a human and even teach social skills.”这番话让作者开始疑惑“AI能不能成为我的朋友”。 15．空格后文意“如果是真人拒绝了我，我可能会受伤难过，但AI只是一个程序，即使被它拒绝，我随时都能再找它，不会有真正被拒绝的风险。”由此可以推知，作者对AI的拒绝一点都不意外，也没有感到受伤。 16．根据原文第四段ChatGPT的回复“But if you need human connections, it's always great to talk to friends, family or people around you.”ChatGPT建议作者去和身边的家人、朋友交流。 17．根据倒数第二段“I believe AI will never offer what humans always do: imperfect human nature.”作者明确提出：AI没有人类特有的不完美人性，最终也无法替代真人解决孤独，作者仍然认同真实人类朋友的价值。面对“AI更好，不会伤害感情”的说法，作者会回答“真实的朋友仍然值得有”。 18．全文围绕作者最初的疑问“AI能成为我的朋友吗”展开，从产生疑问、测试ChatGPT到得出最终感悟，核心话题就是这个问题。 Passage 5 ①When you talk about the World Cup, what comes to your mind? You may first think of famous football players, exciting goals (进球) and loud cheering. But the 2026 FIFA World Cup is also a lesson in geography, cooperation (合作) and planning. ②Geographical factors (地理因素) play a big role this year. For the first time, the World Cup is held by three countries: the United States, Canada and Mexico. Matches are played in different cities across North America. The event includes 48 teams and 104 matches. So teams, fans and reporters travel a long way during the event. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is larger than any previous World Cup. ③Cooperation brings more chances. A larger World Cup means that some countries once far from the event now have a great hope of taking part. The three host countries work together on sports fields, safety and so on. As a result, this World Cup is not only for some traditional powerful countries, but also for more other countries. ④Planning is the key. A bigger World Cup brings more difficulties. More teams and more matches bring longer travel, busier plans and more tasks to host cities. The World Cup becomes a huge moving map. A team may stay in one city for a match and fly to another city for the next one. So fans need to make a plan for tickets, hotels and travel carefully. The host cities have spent years getting ready for the crowds and the games. Organizers must think about safety and communication. That is why good planning matters so much. ⑤In short, the World Cup teaches us that this great event is not just about football players, but also about geography, cooperation and careful planning. Behind every goal, there is a whole world working together. 19．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 20．Where is the 2026 FIFA World Cup held? A．In two countries in North America. B．In three countries in North America. C．In three countries in South America. D．In four countries in South America. 21．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “previous” means _________. A．modern B．earlier C．famous D．wonderful 22．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Fans care more about hotels than travel. B．Teams have to stay in one city during the event. C．Host cities have prepared for the World Cup for a long time. D．The 2026 FIFA World Cup matches are the most exciting in history. 23．What’s the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②/③/④⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①②③/④/⑤ 【答案】19．D 20．B 21．B 22．C 23．A 【解析】本文主要讲述了2026年世界杯由美加墨三国合办，规模空前，它不仅是足球赛事，更涉及地理因素、跨国合作与周密规划，体现了全球协作与筹备工作的重要性。 19．第一段第一句“When you talk about the World Cup, what comes to your mind?”可知，作者是通过提出一个问题来开始文章的。 20．第二段第二句“For the first time, the World Cup is held by three countries: the United States, Canada and Mexico.”以及常识可知，这三个国家位于北美洲。 21．划线词在第二段最后一句“The 2026 FIFA World Cup is larger than any previous World Cup.”，结合语境，是将2026 年世界杯与过去的世界杯进行比较，“previous”意为“先前的、以前的”，与“earlier”意思相近。 22．第四段倒数第三句“The host cities have spent years getting ready for the crowds and the games.”可知，主办城市为世界杯准备了很长时间，C符合题意。 23．文章第一段①引出主题（地理、合作、规划）；第二段②、第三段③、第四段④分别详细阐述了地理、合作和规划这三个方面；第五段⑤总结全文。因此文章结构为“总—分—总”，即①/②③④/⑤。 Passage 6 Once there was a group of forest animals who wanted to join the annual football game. Rabbit, Deer, Squirrel, Badger and Fox decided to form a team. At first, each of them thought they were the best. Rabbit said he could run the fastest, so he should take all the shots. Deer thought he was tall, so he should 1 all the passes. Squirrel wanted to control the ball all the time, and Badger got angry easily when others made mistakes. Fox just stood aside, not willing to 2 in any practice. Their first practice was a mess. They didn’t pass the ball to each other, and they lost every mini game against a small team of mice. An old Owl watched them from a tree and said, “A great team doesn’t need the best players, but players who 3 each other and work as one.” The animals felt ashamed. They decided to change. Next practice, Rabbit 4 to pass the ball to Deer when Deer was in a better position near the goal. Squirrel stopped keeping the ball to himself and shared it with others quickly. Badger learned to stay calm and 5 his teammates instead of shouting at them when they made errors. Fox started to take part in every practice, using his cleverness to 6 good plans for the team. When the game came, they worked together perfectly. Rabbit ran fast to create chances, Deer caught the high passes and scored two goals, Squirrel moved quickly to pass the ball to the right person, Badger protected their goal 7 , and Fox told them when to attack and when to defend. They scored four goals and won the game against a strong team of wolves! After the game, they sat together under the tree. Rabbit said, “I used to think speed was everything, but now I know passing is more important.” Deer nodded, “I learned that listening to others helps us win.” The old Owl smiled and said, “You see? The 8 of a great team is cooperation. No one can win alone.” From then on, the animals became the best team in the forest. They always remembered that to build a great team, everyone must 9 their own ego and work for the team’s success. And every year, they won the football game, not because they were the strongest, but because they were the most 10 . 1．A．catch B．miss C．reject D．drop 2．A．take part B．give up C．stand out D．show off 3．A．compete with B．care about C．look down on D．argue with 4．A．refused B．tried C．continued D．failed 5．A．shout at B．cheer for C．complain about D．worry about 6．A．create B．follow C．break D．change 7．A．carelessly B．happily C．carefully D．angrily 8．A．secret B．problem C．result D．reason 9．A．put up B．put aside C．put on D．put off 10．A．talented B．hard-working C．united D．famous 【答案】 1．A 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．B 6．A 7．C 8．A 9．B 10．C 【解析】本文为记叙文，讲述一群森林动物组建足球队，起初队员各自自负、不懂配合，在猫头鹰的点拨下学会团结协作，最终赢得比赛的故事，传达团队合作的重要性。 1．句意：鹿认为自己个子高，所以他应该接住所有传球。 前文鹿身材高大，适合接球，catch“接住”符合足球场景。miss“错过”、reject“拒绝”、drop“丢掉”均不符合语境。 2．句意：狐狸只是站在一旁，不愿参与任何训练。 前文动物们各自逞强，狐狸消极旁观，take part“参与”贴合不参加训练的情节。give up“放弃”、stand out“突出”、show off“炫耀”语义不符。 3．句意：一支优秀的队伍不需要最厉害的选手，而是需要彼此关心、齐心协力的队员。 后文强调团队团结，care about“关心、在意”契合团队互助主题。compete with“与……竞争”、look down on“看不起”、argue with“争吵”均为负面行为。 4．句意：第二次训练时，当鹿靠近球门位置更好，兔子尝试把球传给鹿。 此处体现兔子做出改变，主动传球，tried“尝试”贴合队员转变的情节。refused“拒绝”、continued“继续”、failed“失败”不符合改过自新的文意。 5．句意：獾学会保持冷静，队友犯错时为他们加油，而不是冲他们大喊。 与后文shouting at them形成对比，cheer for“为……加油”体现宽容团结。shout at“冲……大喊”、complain about“抱怨”、worry about“担心”不符合转变后的友善态度。 6．句意：狐狸参与每一次训练，用他的聪明才智为团队制定好战术。 搭配plans，create“制定、创造”可表示构思方案。follow“跟随”、break“打破”、change“改变”无法搭配plans表达设计战术。 7．句意：獾仔细地守住球门，狐狸告诉大家何时进攻、何时防守。 守门需要细心专注，carefully“仔细地”贴合防守动作。carelessly“粗心地”、happily“开心地”、angrily“生气地”不符合守门要求。 8．句意：你看，一支优秀队伍的秘诀就是合作。 后文点明合作是取胜关键，secret“秘诀”契合主旨。problem“问题”、result“结果”、reason“原因”逻辑不通。 9．句意：他们始终记住，打造优秀队伍，每个人都必须放下自负，为团队的成功努力。 put aside固定短语，put aside their own ego即放下私心自负。put up“张贴”、put on“穿上”、put off“推迟”无此搭配含义。 10．句意：每年他们都赢得足球比赛，不是因为他们最强，而是因为他们最团结。 全文核心主题是团队协作，united“团结的”呼应全文主旨。talented“有天赋的”、hard-working“勤奋的”、famous“出名的”偏离合作主线。 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 2 Getting along 社会服务与人际沟通（认识自我） 单元阅读精练 模块 语篇 题型 体裁 词数 内容简介 时文阅读 Passage 1 阅读理解 说明文 332 本文探究了人们面对社交小尴尬失误的不同反应带给他人的印象。 Passage 2 阅读理解 说明文 395 本文探讨了旅行中短暂却深刻的友谊现象 实战演练 Passage 1 阅读理解 说明文 263 本文介绍了天津大学图书馆举办的一项名为“人生问题，快速回答”的暖心活动。 Passage 2 阅读理解 说明文 243 本文主要介绍了当与非朋友同学相处融洽度不高时，可以通过寻找共同目标一起合作来打破僵局。 Passage 3 阅读理解 议论文 302 本文主要讲述中学时期友谊的重要性。 Passage 4 阅读理解 记叙文 347 本文讲述了作者结合自己在数字时代常感孤独的处境，最终认为真实的人类友谊才是排解孤独的更好方式。 Passage 5 阅读理解 议论文 310 本文主要讲述了2026年世界杯由美加墨三国合办，规模空前，体现了全球协作与筹备工作的重要性。 Passage 6 完形填空 记叙文 380 本文讲述一群森林动物组建足球队，在猫头鹰的点拨下学会团结协作，最终赢得比赛的故事，传达团队合作的重要性。 Passage 1 Imagine you’re walking along the street with your friends. You trip (绊倒) and fall, but don’t get hurt. How do you react? Does your face turn red? Do you laugh at yourself? Perhaps you try not to show any feeling at all! According to a new study, your feeling may affect (影响) what other people think of you. And if you want to seem warm and real, laughing is the best thing to do! Researchers from the Netherlands, the UK and the US did six different experiments (实验) to find out how people’s reactions to their own small mistakes changed what others thought of them. They called these mistakes “faux pas”. This is a French term that is used in English to describe personal mistakes and awkward (尴尬的) social moments, such as tripping, dropping something in a store or forgetting someone’s name. They aren’t usually big mistakes, and they are not meant to hurt anyone. The experiments included more than 3,200 people. They were given different scenarios (场景) about faux pas, and photos of people reacting to their mistakes. They were asked how the reactions made them feel about the people. Those who laughed at their mistakes were seen as more positive. “Laughing at yourself shows self-acceptance (自我接受), and we love people who accept themselves,” said Ovul Sezer, one of the researchers. The researchers found that people who looked embarrassed seemed more worried about themselves. “It’s almost like you overly focus on what others think of you,” Sezer said. However, one of the experiments looked at a scenario (设想) in which a mistake became something bigger, and someone else felt sad because of the mistake. In this situation, the study found that laughing is not a good way to react. When a mistake causes harm (伤害), laughing makes a person seem uncaring and hard to like. 想象一下，你正和朋友们走在街上。你不小心绊倒摔倒了，却没有受伤。你会作何反应？你会脸红吗？会自嘲大笑吗？或许你会努力不露一丝情绪！一项新研究表明，你的情绪会影响他人对你的看法。如果你想给人温暖、真诚的印象，大笑是最好的选择！ 来自荷兰、英国和美国的研究人员开展了六项不同实验，探究人们面对自身小失误时的反应会如何改变他人对自己的评价。他们将这类失误称作 “失态之举”。这是一个借入英语的法语词汇，用来指代个人过失以及尴尬的社交场面，比如走路绊倒、在商店打翻物品或是忘记别人的名字。这类失误通常算不上严重过错，也并非有意去伤害任何人。 共有 3200 多人参与了这些实验。研究人员向他们展示了各类失态场景，以及人们面对失误时不同反应的照片，并询问他们这些反应会让自己如何看待当事人。那些对自己的失误一笑置之的人，会被认为心态更加积极。 研究员奥武尔・塞泽表示：“自嘲代表着自我接纳，我们都喜欢懂得接纳自己的人。” 研究人员发现，面露窘迫的人看起来更在意自身形象。塞泽说：“这几乎等同于你过度在意别人对你的评价。” 不过其中一项实验设定了这样一种场景：失误升级，还让其他人因此感到难过。该实验发现，这种情况下大笑并不是合适的应对方式。当失误造成伤害时，大笑会让人显得冷漠无情，难以让人产生好感。 【长难句分析】 原句1：According to a new study, your feeling may affect what other people think of you. 译文：一项新研究表明，你的情绪会影响他人对你的看法。 结构解析：本句为主谓宾复合句。According to a new study 作状语；主句主语 your feeling，谓语 may affect；what 引导宾语从句，作 affect 的宾语。 原句2：This is a French term that is used in English to describe personal mistakes and awkward social moments, such as tripping, dropping something in a store or forgetting someone’s name. 译文：这是一个借入英语的法语词汇，用来指代个人过失以及尴尬的社交场面，比如走路绊倒、在商店打翻物品或是忘记别人的名字。 结构解析：主句为主系表结构；that 引导定语从句修饰 term；不定式 to describe 作目的状语；such as 后接三个并列动名词短语作举例说明。 原句3：When a mistake causes harm, laughing makes a person seem uncaring and hard to like. 译文：当失误造成伤害时，大笑会让人显得冷漠无情，难以让人产生好感。 结构解析：When 引导时间状语从句；主句主语为动名词 laughing，谓语 makes；宾语 a person，seem uncaring and hard to like 是宾语补足语。 【重难词汇梳理】 trip 绊倒 react 作出反应 affect 影响 experiment 实验 awkward 尴尬的 scenario 场景，设想 self-acceptance 自我接受 embarrassed 窘迫的，尴尬的 uncaring 冷漠的，无同情心的 Passage 2 You might meet someone at a hotel breakfast table, on a walking tour, or on a plane. Within hours, you are exploring a city together, sharing meals and life stories. Sometimes these conversations feel more honest (坦诚的) than those with people you have known for years. When the trip ends, it can leave you wondering: was that even a real friendship? The answer is yes—but it may belong to a kind of relationship that happens only within a moment in time. Travel places people in “liminal space”. In this space, many of the roles that structure daily life temporarily (暂时地) fall away. It means when you are traveling, you are not quite your usual self, nor yet back to your normal routine (惯例). You are not a brother, a sister, or a student; you become simply a traveler—someone exploring new places and experiences. Research suggests that travel can improve well-being and increase openness to new experiences. When people share that sense of discovery, they may also find it easier to connect. Travel changes not just where we are but how we relate to people. Travel friendships can happen very quickly and feel especially strong. One reason is what experts sometimes describe as situational closeness. When people explore new environments together—choosing transportation or walking through a new city—they experience newness and vulnerability (脆弱) at the same time. Research shows that shared fresh experiences can strengthen emotional bonding by lifting spirits and bringing positive changes to the brain. Another reason is that people can find it surprisingly easy to open up to someone they may never see again. The temporary nature of it can make emotional honesty feel safer. Actually, the fact that the connection is temporary may be exactly what allows it to feel so meaningful. Researchers have long recognized the value of “weak ties”—brief or situational relationships that still lead to a sense of connection, and well-being. Travel friendships become part of the emotional landscape of a place: the person you met while getting lost in a new city, the stranger who shared a midnight conversation about life, the group you explored a country with for a few unforgettable days. You may never see them again. But their presence becomes the memory of that journey. Some friendships are not meant to last a lifetime. 你或许会在酒店早餐桌、徒步旅行途中或是飞机上邂逅陌生人。短短几小时内，你们便一同逛城市、共享美食、畅谈人生往事。有时这类交谈，反而比和相识多年的人聊天更坦诚。旅途落幕时，你难免心生疑惑：这段情谊算得上真正的友谊吗？答案是肯定的，只不过它属于一种只存在于某一段时光里的特殊关系。 旅行会将人置于 “临界空间”。在这个空间里，日常生活中束缚我们的各类社会身份会暂时褪去。这意味着旅行途中的你，既不是平日里熟悉的自己，也尚未回归日常作息。你不再是谁的兄弟姐妹、谁的学生，你仅仅是一名旅人 —— 探索全新风景与经历的过客。研究表明，旅行能够提升幸福感，让人更愿意接纳新鲜事物。当人们一同拥有这份探索新知的感受时，彼此也更容易产生共鸣。旅行改变的不只是我们所处的地点，还有我们与人相处的方式。 旅途友谊往往发展迅速，且格外浓烈。其中一个原因就是专家所说的情境亲密感。当人们一同探索陌生环境，一起规划出行交通、漫步陌生城市时，会同时感受到新鲜感与内心的脆弱。研究证实，共同体验全新事物能够振奋情绪、给大脑带来积极改变，从而加深情感联结。 另一个原因是，人们面对可能再也不会相见的陌生人，会格外容易敞开心扉。这段关系的短暂属性，反而让坦诚倾诉变得更有安全感。事实上，这份联结注定短暂，恰恰是它极具意义的根源。 研究人员早已认可 “弱联结” 的价值：这类短暂、情境化的关系，依旧能带来情感共鸣与心灵慰藉。旅途好友构成一座城市独有的情感印记：迷路时偶遇的路人、深夜和你畅谈人生的陌生人、相伴数日游览异国、留下难忘回忆的同行伙伴。你或许再也不会与他们重逢，但他们会化作那段旅途独有的记忆。有些友谊，本就不必相伴一生。 【长难句分析】 原句1：Sometimes these conversations feel more honest than those with people you have known for years. 译文：有时这类交谈，反而比和相识多年的人聊天更坦诚。 结构解析：本句含比较级结构 more honest than；those 代指前文 conversations；定语从句 you have known for years 修饰先行词 people，省略关系代词 who/that。 原句2：In this space, many of the roles that structure daily life temporarily fall away. 译文：在这个空间里，日常生活中束缚我们的各类社会身份会暂时褪去。 结构解析：that 引导定语从句修饰先行词 roles；句子主干为 many of the roles fall away；temporarily 作状语修饰谓语动词 fall away。 原句3：Research shows that shared fresh experiences can strengthen emotional bonding by lifting spirits and bringing positive changes to the brain. 译文：研究证实，共同体验全新事物能够振奋情绪、给大脑带来积极改变，从而加深情感联结。 结构解析：that 引导宾语从句作 shows 的宾语；从句主干为 experiences can strengthen bonding；by 后接两个并列动名词短语作方式状语，说明强化情感联结的途径。 【重难词汇梳理】 temporarily 暂时地 routine 惯例，日常作息 liminal 临界的 vulnerability 脆弱 strengthen 加强，巩固 emotional bonding 情感联结 situational 情境的 temporary 短暂的，临时的 landscape 全貌，景象 Passage 1 A fun and heartwarming activity at Tianjin University (天津大学) Library has become popular online. It is called “Life Questions, Quick Answers”. On a message board (留言板), university students write down their life problems on cards and pin (钉住) them on the board. Then, children give surprising and smart answers. The children also ask their own questions, and the university students answer them. Here are some examples. One university student asked, “How can I grow up more slowly?” A child answered, “Enjoy every day now.” Another university student asked, “How to become the richest person in the world?” A kid answered, “Just daydream happily.” One student wrote, “I am not happy.” A child said, “Watch Peppa Pig.” A young visitor asked, “How do I get into Tianjin University?” A child answered, “I just walked in on Open Day!” Teenagers also joined in. They talked about their worries about school subjects. Older students told them, “Try being nice to maths and science. Then they will be nice to you.” A library worker said the activity helps people of different ages share their ideas. “We wanted to help students see their problems through a child’s eyes,” she said. “We also wanted to tell everyone that happiness can be easy to find.” Tianjin University says the library is the heart of the school. It is a place for everyone to learn and share. It helps build bridges between people. This small activity teaches us something important. Sometimes, the best answers come from a kind heart. 1．Who shared their ideas on the message board? ① university students    ② children    ③ teenagers    ④ library workers A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④ 2．According to this board, what is the answer to the question: How do I get into Tianjin University? A．Enjoy every day now. B．Just walked in on Open Day. C．Just daydream happily. D．Try being nice to maths and science. 3．Why does the university say “the library is the heart of the school” in Paragraph 6? A．There are the best books in the library. B．The library is in the middle of the school. C．A lot of people visit the library every day. D．People can learn and share ideas in the library. 4．What does this activity mainly want to tell us? A．It is hard for people to find true happiness. B．University students don’t have any worries. C．Kids’ easy and kind ideas can make us feel warm. D．People of different ages may hardly understand each other. Passage 2 You just don’t get along with some people. That doesn’t mean you dislike them, but you don’t have much to talk about. This can happen to anyone—yes, even you. So, if you meet such people, what can you do? Here is a good way to break the ice: find a goal you can work on together! Scientists from the UK did a study with children aged between 6 and 8. They wanted to see how friends and non-friends talk to each other during different activities. In the study, the scientists put children in different pairs. Some pairs were good friends. Other pairs were familiar with each other but weren’t close friends. Each pair spent time in two different ways. First, they had free play time. Next, they had a task to finish together. The scientists watched how they talked. Here is what they found. During free play, non-friend pairs did not talk much. But when working on a task together, they talked a lot more! In fact, they talked even more than the friend pairs did. Emily Goodacre, one of the scientists, explained the finding: “If you want to work better with someone you’re not friends with, just find a shared goal. It can help you talk more and get along better.” So, next time you’re with a classmate you don’t really talk to, why not try it? Work on something together—you might be surprised how much you end up chatting! 5．The way of breaking the ice in the text can help people ________. A．break ice into pieces B．say no to work together C．give up one’s goal D．start a friendly talk 6．According to the study, which of the following is TRUE?

D．The study wanted to find kids’ favourite free time activities. 7．What is the main idea of the passage? A．British scientists like studying kids. B．Good friends always chat anytime. C．Working on a shared goal helps people get along well. D．It’s impossible to get along with strangers. Passage 3 Friendship is important in middle school. It can make school life warmer and help us feel less lonely. However, a good friendship does not become strong in one day. Like a young plant, it needs time, care and respect. Trust is one important part of friendship. A true friend is someone you can talk to safely. When you share a worry or a secret, he or she does not laugh at you or pass your words on to others. Your words stay between you and your friend, so you feel safe to say what is really on your mind. Being a good listener is also important. When a friend is upset, we often want to give advice quickly. But sometimes advice is not the first thing a friend needs. A patient listener may help more than a quick answer. A healthy friendship also gives both people space. Your friend may have other friends, hobbies or plans. This does not mean he or she cares about you less. It’s totally natural for both of you to have your own lives. Of course, friends do not always have the same ideas. When they disagree, they should talk about the problem calmly. Saying “I feel ...” is often better than saying “You always ...”. As a result, friends can understand each other without starting a bigger argument. Choosing the right time matters, too. Talking about the disagreement right away won’t make the anger go away. Good friends do not have to talk about a problem the moment it happens. Instead, they take some time to cool down first, so the talk can be calmer and kinder. No friendship is perfect. Good friends may make mistakes, but they are willing to say sorry and try again. A strong friendship is built with honesty, kindness and respect. 8．In the underlined part, the writer compares friendship to a young plant mainly because friendship always ________. A．becomes stronger slowly B．makes school life warmer C．needs students to value and develop D．makes students less lonely 9．According to the article, you might feel safe talking to a friend most probably because he/she will ________.

B．Friends say “You always...”. →They can avoid a bigger argument. C．A friend has other hobbies. →The friend cares about you less. D．Friends say “I feel...”. →They can understand each other better. 12．According to the article, which pair best shows a strong and healthy friendship?

A．why middle school students need more friends B．what students need to build a good friendship C．how students can become popular at school D．why friends sometimes have different ideas Passage 4 A woman speaker said AI can communicate like a human and even teach social skills. This made me wonder: Could AI be my friend? I often feel lonely in today’s digital world. Friendships are mostly online now, and spending time together in person has become rare. Since my friendships are going digital anyway, could AI help with my loneliness? The next day, I went to ChatGPT to test my idea. I told it that I was feeling stressed. It replied kindly, saying it was sorry to hear that and that it was ready to listen and support me if I wanted to talk. It felt warm, and I wondered if this could lead to a new kind of relationship. After a few rounds of conversation, I finally asked, “Could we be friends?” Following a short silence, it replied, still kindly, “I’m just a computer program and can’t form personal connections. I’m here to help and support you. But if you need human connections, it’s always great to talk to friends, family or people around you.” Then the chat window showed: “Friendship Offer Refused.” It was funny that AI could sound so polite yet still say no. But ▲ . If a real person had refused me, I might have felt hurt and stayed in bed all day. But AI is just a human-like program, and though it refused, I can still go to it anytime. In a way, there is no real risk of being refused or sad. I believe AI will never offer what humans always do: imperfect human nature. Everyone in your life makes mistakes at times. They may sound too impolite or even rude. They won’t let you change your question to get a better answer. AI, however, can be too perfect to be a friend. It will never be 25 minutes late to a party, but it will never be the first to talk to and say sorry after making you sad, either. With real blood and bone, my friends and I still have a chance to stay together—and to fix our loneliness. 14．What made the writer wonder if AI could be a friend? A．AI’s ability to teach Humans social skills. B．Her wish to save time by using online tools. C．An invitation to a discussion about AI development. D．A woman’s words about AI’s communication abilities. 15．Which fits the blank ▲ in Paragraph 5? A．I wasn’t surprised at all. B．I felt quite hurt. C．I didn’t love its politeness. D．I decided to leave. 16．What did ChatGPT suggest the writer do? A．Spend more time talking to it. B．Say sorry to people she had hurt. C．Talk to her family and friends around her. D．Change her question to get a better answer. 17．How would the writer reply if a reader says,“AI is better because it never hurts your feelings.”? A．You’ re right. I prefer AI. B．AI does hurt by refusing you. C．AI is perfect, let’s be friends. D．Real friends are still worth having. 18．Which of the following is the best title for the article? A．Why AI Is Important B．Could AI Be My Friend C．ChatGPT Refused Me D．Real Friends Are Imperfect Passage 5 ①When you talk about the World Cup, what comes to your mind? You may first think of famous football players, exciting goals (进球) and loud cheering. But the 2026 FIFA World Cup is also a lesson in geography, cooperation (合作) and planning. ②Geographical factors (地理因素) play a big role this year. For the first time, the World Cup is held by three countries: the United States, Canada and Mexico. Matches are played in different cities across North America. The event includes 48 teams and 104 matches. So teams, fans and reporters travel a long way during the event. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is larger than any previous World Cup. ③Cooperation brings more chances. A larger World Cup means that some countries once far from the event now have a great hope of taking part. The three host countries work together on sports fields, safety and so on. As a result, this World Cup is not only for some traditional powerful countries, but also for more other countries. ④Planning is the key. A bigger World Cup brings more difficulties. More teams and more matches bring longer travel, busier plans and more tasks to host cities. The World Cup becomes a huge moving map. A team may stay in one city for a match and fly to another city for the next one. So fans need to make a plan for tickets, hotels and travel carefully. The host cities have spent years getting ready for the crowds and the games. Organizers must think about safety and communication. That is why good planning matters so much. ⑤In short, the World Cup teaches us that this great event is not just about football players, but also about geography, cooperation and careful planning. Behind every goal, there is a whole world working together. 19．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question. 20．Where is the 2026 FIFA World Cup held? A．In two countries in North America. B．In three countries in North America. C．In three countries in South America. D．In four countries in South America. 21．In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “previous” means _________. A．modern B．earlier C．famous D．wonderful 22．What can we learn from Paragraph 4? A．Fans care more about hotels than travel. B．Teams have to stay in one city during the event. C．Host cities have prepared for the World Cup for a long time. D．The 2026 FIFA World Cup matches are the most exciting in history. 23．What’s the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②/③/④⑤ C．①/②③/④/⑤ D．①②③/④/⑤ Passage 6 Once there was a group of forest animals who wanted to join the annual football game. Rabbit, Deer, Squirrel, Badger and Fox decided to form a team. At first, each of them thought they were the best. Rabbit said he could run the fastest, so he should take all the shots. Deer thought he was tall, so he should 1 all the passes. Squirrel wanted to control the ball all the time, and Badger got angry easily when others made mistakes. Fox just stood aside, not willing to 2 in any practice. Their first practice was a mess. They didn’t pass the ball to each other, and they lost every mini game against a small team of mice. An old Owl watched them from a tree and said, “A great team doesn’t need the best players, but players who 3 each other and work as one.” The animals felt ashamed. They decided to change. Next practice, Rabbit 4 to pass the ball to Deer when Deer was in a better position near the goal. Squirrel stopped keeping the ball to himself and shared it with others quickly. Badger learned to stay calm and 5 his teammates instead of shouting at them when they made errors. Fox started to take part in every practice, using his cleverness to 6 good plans for the team. When the game came, they worked together perfectly. Rabbit ran fast to create chances, Deer caught the high passes and scored two goals, Squirrel moved quickly to pass the ball to the right person, Badger protected their goal 7 , and Fox told them when to attack and when to defend. They scored four goals and won the game against a strong team of wolves! After the game, they sat together under the tree. Rabbit said, “I used to think speed was everything, but now I know passing is more important.” Deer nodded, “I learned that listening to others helps us win.” The old Owl smiled and said, “You see? The 8 of a great team is cooperation. No one can win alone.” From then on, the animals became the best team in the forest. They always remembered that to build a great team, everyone must 9 their own ego and work for the team’s success. And every year, they won the football game, not because they were the strongest, but because they were the most 10 . 1．A．catch B．miss C．reject D．drop 2．A．take part B．give up C．stand out D．show off 3．A．compete with B．care about C．look down on D．argue with 4．A．refused B．tried C．continued D．failed 5．A．shout at B．cheer for C．complain about D．worry about 6．A．create B．follow C．break D．change 7．A．carelessly B．happily C．carefully D．angrily 8．A．secret B．problem C．result D．reason 9．A．put up B．put aside C．put on D．put off 10．A．talented B．hard-working C．united D．famous 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 1 / 11 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
