The earth is still colored brown. I don’t care! I don’t care! I can smell the green smell in the air—it comes Just before springtime. ②The wind still pushes my head low. White snow wets my shoes. Everyone’s talking more snow. I hear drums! I hear drums! It’s the music that says, World wake up—it comes Just before springtime. ③There’s a sweetness that stays at my mouth, And it tastes not of North, but of South. There’s a scene that fills up my eyes. With wings making waves in warm skies. There’s a softness that writes on my skin (皮肤). The announcement that spring’s coming in. Earth-bird-tree I am you. You are me. We are one! We are one! In that nice moment that comes Just before springtime. 11. What does the word “bare” probably mean? A. Having no leaves. B. Covered with leaves. C. Soft and green. D. Strong and thick. 12.

It takes 24 hours to spin around once. Where do the stars go? During the day the stars are still in the sky but we cannot see them because the Sun’s light is much brighter than they are. Why does the Sun set? The Sun does not really move at all. Because the Earth spins, it looks as if the Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Me and my shadow Light always shines in straight lines, so you see dark shadows behind anything which stands in its way. At midday the Sun is directly overhead and the shadows are very short. Early in the morning and evening the Sun is low in the sky, so the shadows are long. 193px x 100px Ways of measuring time Long ago hunters kept track of how long they were away by counting how many times they went to sleep at night. Knights used a sand timer to time a tournament. It ended when the sand had run from the top half to the bottom. People used sundials. During the day the Sun’s shadow is cast on to the dial and moves around to mark the time. Adapted from The Usborne Children’s Encyclopedia Word Bank: spin(v.)自转； shadow (n.)影子；measure(v.) 测量；knight(n.)骑士；tournament(n.)比武大会； sundial (n.)日晷 16. Why do we have day and night in turn? A. The Moon stops the sun’s light at night. B. The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. C. The Sun moves closer to the Earth in the day. D. The Earth’s spin makes different parts face the Sun 17. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The Sun keeps moving during the day. B. The stars’ light is brighter than the sunlight. C. Stars are always in the sky even if we can’t see them. D. Stars disappear during the day and come out at night. 18. When is the shadow the shortest? A. In the morning. B. At midday. C. In the evening. D. In the late afternoon. 19. What did people use to tell time in the passage? ①A sand timer. ②A clock. ③A sundial. ④A sleep-counting method. A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①③④ 20. In which part of the book can we probably read the text? A. Science around us. B. History of the Earth. C. Stories of the Sun. D. Travel around the world. C Today, many people use AI chatbots like DeepSeek to help with work or study. But is this always a good thing? The AI researcher Advait Sarkar says that if we depend on AI too much to think for us, we might become “middle managers for our own thoughts.” This means we spend our time just checking and accepting the AI’s ideas instead of developing our own. The Problem: Pack your thoughts for AI When we let AI do tasks that require thinking—such as: organizing information, writing articles, or making decisions—we risk losing important skills. Studies show that people who use AI too much may: ◆Become less creative, coming up with fewer and more similar ideas. ◆Think less deeply about information. ◆Remember less of what they read or write. In short, if we don’t exercise our brains, our thinking abilities can become weak. A Better Way: AI as a Tool for Thoughts AI can be designed (设计) to help us think better. Here’s how it works: ◆It encourages active reading by providing summaries and asking meaningful questions. ◆It helps users organize their ideas while staying connected to the basic materials. ◆It offers suggestions—not to directly complete tasks, but to challenge the user’s thinking, present different ideas, or point out possible mistakes. In this way, the user stays in control, learns and remembers more. Why It Matters Thinking is not just a tool to get work done—it is part of being human. If machines do all our thinking for us, we may lose our ability to solve hard problems, make good decisions, and come up with new ideas. Good AI should help us grow smarter, not make us lazy thinkers. As Sarkar says, “What would you rather have? A tool that thinks for you, or a tool that makes you think?” 21. Why does Advait Sarkar say the words in Para. 1? A. To introduce a new job about AI. B. To explain what AI chatbots can do. C. To show how popular AI chatbots are. D. To warn people not to use AI too much. 22. What may people face when using AI too much? A. Getting their brains more trained. B. Taking more time to think deeply. C. Being less creative with simple ideas. D. Getting better at remembering things. 23. Which of the following is the proper way to use AI? A. Refusing to get in touch with AI. B. Asking AI to finish tasks and copying them. C. Using AI to help think further and improve ideas. D. Letting AI make decisions without your own thinking. 24. What opinion does the writer agree with? A. AI is useless for thinking. B. AI should make people think. C. AI should think for people. D. AI can solve all hard problems. 25. What’s the BEST title for this article? A. AI: The Great Advantages It Has B. AI: Different Kinds We Often Use C. AI: The History of AI Development D. AI: A Useful Tool, but Use It Wisely D 根据短文内容，选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 Ecotourism: Travel That Protects Nature Ecotourism is a special way of traveling that helps protect our planet. Unlike traditional tourism, it includes visiting beautiful natural places without harming them. ____26____ They are under the protection of local governments. ____27____ This means we should protect nature so that future generations (一代人) can enjoy it, too. In an eco-friendly area, buildings fit in with the environment, food is bought from local farmers, and waste is carefully managed. For many developing countries, ecotourism can help them make money while saving their natural treasures. Instead of cutting down rainforests for wood, countries can make money by showing tourists the natural beauty. ____28____ The country makes money, and the nature stays protected. Ecotourism has many advantages for local people. It creates jobs for them such as park guards, cooks, or wildlife guides. ____29____ Many learn new skills and can support their families better than before. However, there are some problems. Sometimes, locals are used for cheap labor (劳动力). Big companies often keep most of the money, while local people make very little. ____30____ Moreover, building hotels and roads can be harmful to the environment if not planned carefully. In short, ecotourism aims to help both people and the planet. It teaches us to respect (尊重) local culture and protect the environment. When done correctly, it is a win-win situation for everyone. A. This way, each side gets good results. B. These jobs often pay better than farming. C. Also, locals might lose their traditional way of life. D. Many tourists choose to experience different culture. E. These places are often areas like rainforests or mountains. F. The main goal of ecotourism is keeping nature safe for long. 第Ⅱ卷（满分50分） Ⅲ.短文填空（本题10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分） 阅读下面短文，根据上下文及提示在空白处填入1个单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A wonderful “bird wave” (鸟浪) at the Yellow River Delta in Dongying, Shandong, has recently become very popular online. On the evening of December 7, 2025, over 240,000 Baikal teals (花脸鸭) got together in the sky. When people looked up at that time, they ____31____ (fly) together in a huge, shape-changing group. The bird group sometimes looked like a big whale, and sometimes like a huge bird. Against the sunset, the scene was so ____32____ (value) that people called it a living picture of the “Kunpeng” from Zhuangzi’s tale. These teals seem to form the “bird wave” to show ____33____ (they) to people under the sunset. What we see as the “bird wave” is actually a survival skill of birds, not magic. They form such large groups for two key ____34____ (/ˈpɜːpəsɪz/). One is to save energy during long trips, the other is for their ____35____ (safe) against enemies. Flying together in a certain way helps them catch the wind ____36____ (easy) than flying alone. Many people wonder ____37____ the Yellow River Delta Wetland is so welcoming for birds. The real reason is the healthy environment. It was once a poor area ____38____ few plants and birds. But through years of hard work like providing water and returning farmland to wetland, it has now turned into an important resting place for birds. The number of bird species there ____39____ (increase) greatly over the years. Local tourism offices have made guidelines for bird-watching. Visitors ____40____ (require) to keep at least 100 meters away, not to use drones (无人机) to get close to the birds, and never to feed them. We should enjoy this gift from nature while also protecting it. IV.阅读表达（本题8小题，共20分） 阅读下面文本，完成1至5小题。 2026 is the Year of the Horse in China. You may notice that horses appear in many Chinese idioms (成语). These horse-related sayings offer fascinating ideas into Chinese culture and ancient wisdom (智慧). “A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. It describes someone with excellent talent or abilities. Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “thousand-mile horses” and achieve great things. “A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another point to this idea. While talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders (“good riders”) who can find talented people are not common. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough—you need someone who believes in you and gives you chances. “An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with experience. Just as an old horse remembers the safest roads through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. This idiom shows Chinese respect (尊重) for elders and their knowledge. “A painted horse won’t run” warns against valuing appearance over reality. No matter how beautifully you paint a horse, it will never run fast. Similarly, empty promises without real action are worthless. This idiom teaches Chinese to value practical results over empty words. “Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who keeps searching for better chances while managing their present situation. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical, hard-working people who never stop improving themselves. 41.

Maybe some friends will pass by.” “Okay,” I said. When I walked into our yard with my kite, the only thing I saw was our neighbor’s goose, Honk. The white bird was a little scary. He walked around his yard like he was a king. I decided to stay away from it. Unluckily, Honk did not have the same plan. When he watched me and my kite, he flew in my direction. I ran into the garage (车库) and found some chalk to happily draw pictures on our front driveway, where Honk could not see me. Then, Honk paid me another visit. He seemed happy as he danced in front of the glass doors. I slowly stepped outside to see if I could make friends with him. Suddenly, Honk’s cheerful mood (心情) disappeared and he started cackling (鹅叫声) at me. Ms. Lee was working in her garden. She heard Honk’s cackling and ran over to help me. That afternoon, Honk came to visit us two more times. I noticed that he always seemed happy when he arrived, but he did not like me to step outside. I tried taking off my hat. I even changed my bright red shirt for a white one. Honk still disliked me, and Ms. Lee had to lead him home each time he came over. After dinner, Mom offered to fly my dragon kite with me. We were in the yard when Honk made another visit to our home. Surprisingly, I saw he was bowing his head and dancing around in front of the glass doors. Suddenly, my eyes caught a scene of another dancing goose. It was Honk’s reflection. He could see himself in our glass doors. I had solved the mystery—Honk visited our home because he was looking for a friend. 根据短文内容完成读书笔记。每空不超过四个词。 Story Scenes Honk’s actions and feelings Adam’s actions and feelings First meeting in the yard walked around the yard like a king felt ①___46___ and stayed away from Honk Honk by the glass door ②___47___ and seemed happy stepped outside and wanted to ③___48___ with Honk Adam went near Honk cackled at Adam and became ④___49___when Adam came near thought maybe ⑤___50___ made Honk dislike him The mystery solved was bowing his head and dancing around saw a dancing goose in the glass and finally understood Honk just wanted to ⑥___51___ 46. ________ 47. ________ 48. ________ 49. ________ 50. ________ 51. ________ 52.

I was worried because my ID card and some money were in it. Luckily, a kind stranger found it and immediately sent it to the lost-and-found office. I got my wallet back safely the next day. This heartwarming experience deeply moved me and made me realize that there is still much kindness around us. So I decided to help others more often, just like that stranger helped me. I truly believe that small acts of kindness can bring warmth and good fortune to everyone around us. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
