While walking past a village, he saw many people busy with their work in a large field. At that moment, a young man who sat by the road caught his attention. Andy wondered why the young man was free in such a busy season. Then he went up and asked, “Have you grown your vegetables?” The young man shook his head and sighed, “Not yet! I’m worrying about the weather. If there is a storm, my vegetables may be destroyed. If it is too cold, the seeds may not come out of the ground at all. If it is too hot, the seeds may even go bad in the soil.” Andy nodded his head and asked again, “Then, have you grown rice?” The young man thought for a while, and answered, “Not yet. I’m worried about the birds. They may eat the rice. I can’t take that risk.” Andy was very surprised, “So, what have you grown then?” The farmer replied, “I haven’t grown anything. I am waiting for the best time! I must make sure that nothing is going to destroy my plants.” Of course, the best time never came. And the young man didn’t get anything from the field at last. In our life, many people may have the same problem. They have dreams, but they don’t take action because they worry too much about the difficulties in the future.

His son wasn’t able to communicate, but he seemed satisfied with sitting in the sand. The dad explained to me that his son could only make some sounds. The boy had been in speech therapy for years. After so much time in therapy, the boy was able to maintain（保持）eye contact for a few seconds and the father was delighted by the achievement! He told me how expensive the therapies for his son’s specific needs were and what a pleasure it was to see all of the years of hard work pay off. The father and son connected, and those few seconds of eye contact meant the world to that dad! As we talked about therapy, the dad shared with me that his goal for his boy was to someday be able to go for ice cream together. He said his father used to take him out for ice cream and he hoped he could do the same with his child. Suddenly, the son stopped putting his fingers in the sand, looked at his father and said, “Hi. ” Seconds later, the boy went back into his own world. The dad wanted to say something, but he couldn’t. His love for this boy was so great that the words would not come. But what did come were tears. Those tears showed how proud he was of his son. A father loves his child more than words will ever be able to express. Although they were strangers to me, I am honored（荣幸的）to have shared in this precious celebration of achievement in that boy’s young life. I hope someday they will be able to go for ice cream and have a beautiful father and son outing. This event touched me deeply and made me consider my relationship with my own father. I hope that as they communicate further, more and more memories will be created for them to share. I believe the feelings held by all great fathers—their hard work, their love, their pride, and their tears of love—are all the same. 5.What do we know about the boy? A. His eyes were hurt B. He loved going to the park. C. He couldn’t make any sound. D. He made progress through therapy. 6.How did the father feel after his son say “hi” to him? A. Sad. B. Proud. C. Worried. D. Impatient. 7. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. A father’s unconditional love is touching. B. Not all of the parents care about their children’s achievements. C. Good relationship will be formed between father and son. D. Disabled children will be given more attention. 8. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Experiencing Speech Therapy! B. Maintaining Eye Contact with Father. C. Feeling a Father’s Love! D. Having a Beautiful Father and Son Outing. 【答案】DBAC 【解析】 1. 答案：D解析：根据 “The boy had been in speech therapy for years. After so much time in therapy, the boy was able to maintain eye contact for a few seconds” 和 “the son stopped putting his fingers in the sand, looked at his father and said, ‘Hi.’”，可知男孩通过治疗取得了进步，故选 D。 2. 答案：B解析：根据 “Those tears showed how proud he was of his son.”，可知父亲感到自豪，故选 B。 3. 答案：A解析：文章通过讲述一位父亲对残疾儿子的关爱和坚持，体现了父亲无条件的爱令人感动，A 符合主旨；B 与文意相反，C、D 并非核心主旨，故选 A。 4. 答案：C解析：文章围绕父亲对儿子的爱展开，C “感受父爱” 最贴合主旨；A、B 仅为文中细节，D 是作者的希望，并非核心内容，故选 C。 1、 阅读理解 A （2026安徽中考）Angelo was a businessman.

AI is the main driver. It forces countries to look for new ways to solve the big problem. China is leading the way by putting data centers under the sea as a greener solution. In December 2022, Hainan became home to China’s first underwater data center. This was followed by a more advanced (先进的) project in Shanghai in 2025. AI servers give off heat while working, making the temperature rise. If the heat isn’t taken away in time, the servers won’t run well or even break down. On-land data centers have to use up to 40% of their electricity just for cooling AI servers. Underwater data centers, like the one in Shanghai, use pipes to pump (输送) seawater. Seawater goes through the radiators on the back of the servers. It takes in heat and carries it away. The sea temperature is about 15 ℃, perfect for natural cooling. In this way, the electricity is saved. An assessment (评估) from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows the underwater data center uses at least 30% less electricity than on-land data centers thanks to natural cooling. Underwater data centers can also reduce land usage by 80%. And the one in Shanghai offers another benefit: it will get more than 95% of its electricity from a kind of renewable energy — wind energy. And the use of tidal (潮汐) and wave energy is also taken into consideration. China’s efforts in developing underwater data centers show its promise to create low-carbon digital infrastructure (低碳数字基础设施). The act not only helps reduce the environmental influence of AI, but also could set a new standard for sustainable computing (可持续算力) worldwide. 1. What is the main reason for China to develop underwater data centers? A. To provide more electricity for AI servers directly. B. To reduce the cost of building on-land data centers. C. To solve the problem of high energy use caused by AI. D. To increase the speed of internet connections worldwide. 2.How does an underwater data center cool AI servers naturally? A. It uses seawater to cool AI servers. B. It uses air conditioners for cooling AI servers. C. It depends on wind energy to power its cooling. D. It is connected with tidal and wave energy for cooling. 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 4 and paragraph 5? 4.What would you do next if you were the developer of China’s underwater data centers according to the passage? A. Close all the on-land data centers to save electricity in the near future. B. Focus on developing on-land data centers instead of underwater data centers. C. Cut down the cost of research and development since the projects are successful. D. Explore the use of tidal and wave energy to further improve sustainable computing. 【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.D 【解析】 1 。原文定位 第四段：Underwater data centers… use pipes to pump seawater. Seawater goes through the radiators… It takes in heat and carries it away. …perfect for natural cooling. 选项分析 A. 利用海水给 AI 服务器降温 → 和原文原理完全一致，正确 B. 用空调降温 → 陆上机房才靠耗电空调，水下是海水自然冷却，错误 C. 依靠风能驱动冷却系统 → 风能是供电来源，不是冷却方式，错误 D. 连接潮汐、波浪能降温 → 潮汐能只是后续规划能源，不用于冷却，错误 2.原文数据提取 Electricity usage：水下机房比陆上至少少消耗 30% 电力 → 陆上斜纹柱高度≈100%，水下黑柱高度≈70%（黑柱更矮） Land usage：水下机房减少 80% 土地占用 → 陆上斜纹柱≈100%，水下黑柱≈20%（黑柱远矮） 3.图表判断（图例：斜纹 = 陆上；黑柱 = 水下） A：土地占用水下柱子极高，与 “少 80%” 矛盾 B：耗电黑柱矮于斜纹；土地占用黑柱远矮于斜纹，完全符合数据，正确 C：耗电水下柱子比陆上高，完全相反 D：土地占用水下柱子 100%，不符合减少 80% 4.原文定位 第五段末尾：And the use of tidal (潮汐) and wave energy is also taken into consideration. 最后一段：…set a new standard for sustainable computing (可持续算力) worldwide. 选项分析 A. 短期内关停所有陆上机房 → 原文无关停表述，极端且不符合文意，错误 B. 转而去发展陆上机房、放弃水下 → 文章重点推崇水下绿色方案，逻辑相反，错误 C. 项目成功就削减研发成本 → 文中无削减研发的内容，错误 D. 研发潮汐、波浪能，进一步优化可持续算力 → 原文已将潮汐、波浪能纳入规划，贴合发展方向，正确 二、阅读表达 （2026安徽中考）Aria Law, aged 17, lives in an Asian community in Canada.

At that moment, a young man who sat by the road caught his attention. Andy wondered why the young man was free in such a busy season. Then he went up and asked, “Have you grown your vegetables?” The young man shook his head and sighed, “Not yet! I’m worrying about the weather. If there is a storm, my vegetables may be destroyed. If it is too cold, the seeds may not come out of the ground at all. If it is too hot, the seeds may even go bad in the soil.” Andy nodded his head and asked again, “Then, have you grown rice?” The young man thought for a while, and answered, “Not yet. I’m worried about the birds. They may eat the rice. I can’t take that risk.” Andy was very surprised, “So, what have you grown then?” The farmer replied, “I haven’t grown anything. I am waiting for the best time! I must make sure that nothing is going to destroy my plants.” Of course, the best time never came. And the young man didn’t get anything from the field at last. In our life, many people may have the same problem. They have dreams, but they don’t take action because they worry too much about the difficulties in the future. However, if they don’t do anything, how can they achieve their dreams? 根据短文内容回答问题，每题答案不超过 8 个单词。 1.

The dad explained to me that his son could only make some sounds. The boy had been in speech therapy for years. After so much time in therapy, the boy was able to maintain（保持）eye contact for a few seconds and the father was delighted by the achievement! He told me how expensive the therapies for his son’s specific needs were and what a pleasure it was to see all of the years of hard work pay off. The father and son connected, and those few seconds of eye contact meant the world to that dad! As we talked about therapy, the dad shared with me that his goal for his boy was to someday be able to go for ice cream together. He said his father used to take him out for ice cream and he hoped he could do the same with his child. Suddenly, the son stopped putting his fingers in the sand, looked at his father and said, “Hi. ” Seconds later, the boy went back into his own world. The dad wanted to say something, but he couldn’t. His love for this boy was so great that the words would not come. But what did come were tears. Those tears showed how proud he was of his son. A father loves his child more than words will ever be able to express. Although they were strangers to me, I am honored（荣幸的）to have shared in this precious celebration of achievement in that boy’s young life. I hope someday they will be able to go for ice cream and have a beautiful father and son outing. This event touched me deeply and made me consider my relationship with my own father. I hope that as they communicate further, more and more memories will be created for them to share. I believe the feelings held by all great fathers—their hard work, their love, their pride, and their tears of love—are all the same. 5.What do we know about the boy? A. His eyes were hurt B.

Good relationship will be formed between father and son. D. Disabled children will be given more attention. 8. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.

It forces countries to look for new ways to solve the big problem. China is leading the way by putting data centers under the sea as a greener solution. In December 2022, Hainan became home to China’s first underwater data center. This was followed by a more advanced (先进的) project in Shanghai in 2025. AI servers give off heat while working, making the temperature rise. If the heat isn’t taken away in time, the servers won’t run well or even break down. On-land data centers have to use up to 40% of their electricity just for cooling AI servers. Underwater data centers, like the one in Shanghai, use pipes to pump (输送) seawater. Seawater goes through the radiators on the back of the servers. It takes in heat and carries it away. The sea temperature is about 15 ℃, perfect for natural cooling. In this way, the electricity is saved. An assessment (评估) from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows the underwater data center uses at least 30% less electricity than on-land data centers thanks to natural cooling. Underwater data centers can also reduce land usage by 80%. And the one in Shanghai offers another benefit: it will get more than 95% of its electricity from a kind of renewable energy — wind energy. And the use of tidal (潮汐) and wave energy is also taken into consideration. China’s efforts in developing underwater data centers show its promise to create low-carbon digital infrastructure (低碳数字基础设施). The act not only helps reduce the environmental influence of AI, but also could set a new standard for sustainable computing (可持续算力) worldwide. 1. What is the main reason for China to develop underwater data centers? A. To provide more electricity for AI servers directly. B. To reduce the cost of building on-land data centers. C. To solve the problem of high energy use caused by AI. D. To increase the speed of internet connections worldwide. 2.How does an underwater data center cool AI servers naturally? A. It uses seawater to cool AI servers. B. It uses air conditioners for cooling AI servers. C. It depends on wind energy to power its cooling. D. It is connected with tidal and wave energy for cooling. 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 4 and paragraph 5? 4.What would you do next if you were the developer of China’s underwater data centers according to the passage? A. Close all the on-land data centers to save electricity in the near future. B. Focus on developing on-land data centers instead of underwater data centers. C. Cut down the cost of research and development since the projects are successful. D. Explore the use of tidal and wave energy to further improve sustainable computing. 二、阅读表达 （2026安徽中考）Aria Law, aged 17, lives in an Asian community in Canada.
