These words remind us of the important roles horses once played in history. One common example is “horsepower”. This term is used to measure the power of engines. It was created by James Watt, a British engineer, in the 1780s. Watt improved the steam engine and wanted to explain its power to people. At that time, horses were widely used for heavy work. So, he compared his engine to horses. After simple calculations (计算), he said one engine could do the work of ten horses. This idea became prevalent, and others started using the term too. Although Watt didn’t know exactly if a real horse is stronger than one horsepower, the word is still used today. Another example is the “pommel horse (鞍马)”, a piece of equipment in gymnastics. It comes from ancient Rome, where soldiers practiced getting on and off wooden horses to prepare for battle. Later, this practice became part of the Olympics. In the early 1800s, a German teacher named Friedrich Ludwig Jahn developed many gymnastic moves on the pommel horse. His ideas are still used in modern gymnastics. However, not all “horse words” are about horses. For example, horseradish is a spicy vegetable, and a horsefly is a large insect that bites. In short, “horse words” are common in English. Some connect to history, while others are just names. Do you know any other “horse words”? ( ) 34. The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”. A. strange B. popular C. personal D. modern ( ) 35. What can we infer from the passage about James Watt? A. He knew exactly how strong a horse was. B. He was the first person to use horses for work. C. He invented the steam engine by himself. D. He was good at explaining new ideas to people. ( ) 36. How is the passage organized? A. By giving examples of “horse words”. B. By telling stories in time order. C. By comparing two different kinds of horses. D. By asking questions at the beginning. 【主旨大意】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英语中常见的与“horse”相关的词汇及其背后的文化含义。 34.B【解析】“After simple calculations, he said one engine could do the work of ten horses. This idea became prevalent, and others started using the term too.”（经过简单计算，他说一台引擎能做十匹马的工作。这个想法变得prevalent，其他人也开始使用这个词了。）以及后文提到该词至今仍在使用，可以推断，瓦特的这个比喻被大众广泛接受了。 35.D【解析】第二段内容，“Watt improved the steam engine and wanted to explain its power to people... So, he compared his engine to horses.”（瓦特改良了蒸汽机并想向人们解释它的功率……所以，他将他的引擎与马进行了比较。）这表明瓦特为了让人们理解抽象的机器功率，巧妙地使用了人们熟悉的“马”作为参照物。这说明他擅长用通俗易懂的方式向人们解释新想法。 36.A【解析】文章采用了举例说明的结构。第二段以“horsepower”为例，第三段以“pommel horse”为例，第四段提到了“horseradish”和“horsefly”。这些具体的例子贯穿全文因此，文章是通过给出“horse words”的例子来组织的，对应选项“By giving examples of ‘horse words’.”。 C Dear students, Your new English e-dictionary is a helpful tool for your English learning.

Amy, a winner of an oyster gardener prize, is one of them. She thinks oysters are really helpful and they are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening before 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course. The course is about raising oysters in cages (笼子),” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal (沿海的) waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy goes to the beach. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. “Once a week, I go out there,” she says.

But their numbers have diminished.”可知，前后句存在转折关系，曾经很多，现在因为自然灾害数量应该是减少了，“Fallen”意为“下降、减少”，符合语境。 44.C【解析】根据第五段第二句“She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters.”可知，艾米每周把笼子拉出水面是为了检查牡蛎的状况。 45.B【解析】通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了艾米作为一名牡蛎养殖者（oyster gardener），如何通过养殖牡蛎来保护环境，以及她的养殖经历和成果。选项B“一位牡蛎养殖者”最能概括文章主题。 五、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) To improve your English, reading newspapers like 21st Century Teens can be very helpful.

Some students prefer to look them up in the dictionary at once, while others like to guess the meanings from the contexts. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Looking up new words in the dictionary or guessing the meanings When reading in English, we often meet new words. Some students prefer to look them up in the dictionary at once, while others like to guess the meanings from the contexts. As for me, I like looking up new words in the dictionary better. First, checking words in a dictionary lets me know their exact meanings, which helps avoid misunderstandings. English words often have different meanings, and guessing might lead to wrong meanings.

He grew up near the sea and loved its beauty deeply. But during a trip to Xiangshan in 2024, he was sad to see plastic bags and plastic pieces all over the beach. These wastes hurt ocean animals and made the sea dirty. He decided to do something to change this. In July 2025, Hong organized a beach cleaning activity called “Guard the Blue Coastline of Ningbo”. He posted information online and handed out leaflets (传单) to call for volunteers. Over 30 people from different jobs joined him, including office workers, college students and teachers. In just three hours, they collected more than 300 kilograms of ocean waste. Hong also did scientific work. He and his partners walked on slippery rocks and even stepped into mud (泥) to collect 20 bottles of seawater samples (样本). These samples will help labs study ocean pollution better. Now Hong plans more cleaning activities and wants to start a WeChat official account to share environmental ideas. Hong believes age doesn’t stop anyone from protecting the environment. Everyone, young or old, can do their part to make the ocean cleaner and more beautiful. ( ) 31. Why did Hong Zirui decide to protect the ocean? A. Because he wanted to get popular online. B. Because his school asked him to organize activities. C. Because he needed seawater samples for his homework. D. Because he saw much waste on the Xiangshan beach. ( ) 32. Which of the following best describes Hong Zirui? A. Responsible. B. Honest. C. Shy. D. Brave. ( ) 33. What is Hong Zirui’s plan for the future? A. To stop eating seafood. B. To move away from the coastline. C. To start a WeChat official account. D. To write a book about ocean animals. B Most people growing up in big cities have never ridden a horse, but we often use “horse words” in our daily language. These words remind us of the important roles horses once played in history. One common example is “horsepower”. This term is used to measure the power of engines. It was created by James Watt, a British engineer, in the 1780s. Watt improved the steam engine and wanted to explain its power to people. At that time, horses were widely used for heavy work. So, he compared his engine to horses. After simple calculations (计算), he said one engine could do the work of ten horses. This idea became prevalent, and others started using the term too. Although Watt didn’t know exactly if a real horse is stronger than one horsepower, the word is still used today. Another example is the “pommel horse (鞍马)”, a piece of equipment in gymnastics. It comes from ancient Rome, where soldiers practiced getting on and off wooden horses to prepare for battle. Later, this practice became part of the Olympics. In the early 1800s, a German teacher named Friedrich Ludwig Jahn developed many gymnastic moves on the pommel horse. His ideas are still used in modern gymnastics. However, not all “horse words” are about horses. For example, horseradish is a spicy vegetable, and a horsefly is a large insect that bites. In short, “horse words” are common in English. Some connect to history, while others are just names. Do you know any other “horse words”? ( ) 34. The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”. A. strange B. popular C. personal D. modern ( ) 35. What can we infer from the passage about James Watt? A. He knew exactly how strong a horse was. B. He was the first person to use horses for work. C. He invented the steam engine by himself. D. He was good at explaining new ideas to people. ( ) 36. How is the passage organized? A. By giving examples of “horse words”. B. By telling stories in time order. C. By comparing two different kinds of horses. D. By asking questions at the beginning.

Amy, a winner of an oyster gardener prize, is one of them. She thinks oysters are really helpful and they are environmental stars. “I knew nothing about oyster gardening before 2022. I learned all of this after I completed a free course. The course is about raising oysters in cages (笼子),” Amy says. There used to be lots of oysters in coastal (沿海的) waters. But their numbers have diminished. This is mainly because of some natural disasters. Oyster gardening is a way to help. “You don’t have to do a lot to take care of your oysters, but the influence they have on the environment is huge,” Amy says. During the oyster gardening season, Amy goes to the beach. She pulls the cages from the water to check conditions of the oysters. “Once a week, I go out there,” she says. This spring, Amy’s oysters will be big enough to be collected. So far, Amy has raised more than 1,500 oysters. She’s a great leader of oyster gardening. ( ) 42. What does Amy think of oysters? A.

You can also write them down and look them up later. Third, read aloud sometimes. This helps with pronunciation and speaking skills. You can also record yourself and listen to see how you sound. Fourth, discuss what you read with friends or teachers. Talking about the articles helps you remember the content and practice speaking. Finally, be consistent. Try to read a little every day, even if it’s just one short article. Over time, you will see great improvement in your English. 46.
