Passage 01
2026 is the 48th year of China’s reform and opening-up. A talk between the older and younger generations shows how people’s lives have changed.
·Camera
I bought this camera in 1998. It was from Japan. At that time, you could only buy things from other countries in special stores. Back then, cameras used expensive film (昂贵胶卷), so every photo was important. It usually cost around 15 yuan to develop (冲洗) a roll of film. But at that time, I only made 510 yuan a month!
Xu Zhenhe, 57, Beijing
Usually, the cameras on our phones are enough for us to take photos now. Expensive cameras are no longer necessary for ordinary needs. We can even edit (编辑) photos on our phones.
Xu Zhaolin, 25, Beijing
·Food coupon (粮票)
When I was a kid, we had to use food coupons, or liangpiao, to get food. Each person had a fixed quantity (定量) of grain each month. Sometimes we didn’t have enough rice to eat, so we could often eat the stored coarse grains like sweet potatoes.
Huang Kunrong, 72, Sichuan
We lead a better life without worrying about food shortages any more. We often have different dishes every day. We also travel to many different places and taste so many local dishes. What’s more, we don’t have to use coupons to pay.
Xiao Yao, 14, Sichuan
1.How does the writer show people’s life changes in the text?
A.By telling stories. B.By offering advice.
C.By listing numbers. D.By making comparisons.
2.How many times could Xu Zhenhe develop a roll of film at most a month in 1998?
A.15. B.34. C.43. D.510.
3.What can we infer from Xu Zhaolin’s words?
A.Everyone can buy an expensive camera.
B.Young people no longer like taking photos.
C.Cameras from Japan are better than phone cameras.
D.Mobile phones have made taking and editing photos much easier.
4.What did Huang Kunrong often eat at an early age?
A.Rice. B.Noodles. C.Sweet potatoes. D.Fruit.
5.Where may the text be from?
A.An ad. B.A newspaper. C.A novel. D.A poster.

2026 年是中国改革开放第 48 周年。一场新老两代人的对话,生动展现了人们生活发生的巨大变迁。
・相机
我这台相机是 1998 年买的,日本产。那时候,进口商品只能在专门的商店买到。当年的相机要用价格不菲的胶卷,所以每一张照片都很珍贵。冲洗一卷胶卷通常要花 15 元左右,可我那时候一个月工资才 510 元!
—— 徐振和,57 岁,北京
如今,手机自带的相机就足以满足日常拍照需求。普通使用场景下,昂贵的相机已经不再是必需品。我们甚至还能直接在手机上编辑照片。
—— 徐兆林,25 岁,北京
・粮票
我小时候,得用粮票才能买到粮食。每个人每个月的口粮都是定量的。有时候大米不够吃,我们就常吃红薯这类储存的粗粮。
—— 黄坤荣,72 岁,四川
我们现在的日子好多了,再也不用担心粮食短缺。每天都能换着花样吃菜,还能去各地旅游,品尝各色地方美食。而且,买东西再也不用票证了。
—— 肖瑶,14 岁,四川
Passage 02
2026 marks the 65th anniversary of the setting up of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and Laos. China-Laos Railway had been built successfully and was opened to us on 3rd December 2021. 1 .
China-Laos Railway starts from Kunming, China in the north and ends in Vientiane, Laos in the south. 2 . Since the start of the whole line in December 2016, more than 20,000 builders of China-Laos Railway had been fighting for more than 1,800 days and nights.
Although the project was so difficult, the builders tried their best to make the railway perfect. 3 . For example, there are many Asian elephants living around the Wild Elephant Valley Station of China-Laos Railway. 4 . And they have built China-Laos Railway into a road where people and nature live in harmony.
“The opening of China-Laos Railway helps the development of China-Laos trade (贸易). And it pushes Laos’ social development to a new level,” Manila Sombandi, Consul General (总领事) of Laos in Kunming, said. The areas along the route have taken the new chances of the opening of China-Laos Railway. Pu’er City, rich in forest resources (资源), has put 3 billion yuan into building an industrial park to make the markets in South Asia and Southeast Asia bigger. 5 .
Without doubt, China-Laos Railway has brought new development for all places along the route.
A.It is more than 1,000 kilometres.
B.To meet wild animals, builders chose this route.
C.This has deepened the friendship between the two countries.
D.In order not to hurt the elephants, the builders changed their route.
E.At the same time, many plans have been made to help promote the trade.
F.They were all hard-working and built the railway in a more creative way.
长难句解析
原句:Pu’er City, rich in forest resources, has put 3 billion yuan into building an industrial park to make the markets in South Asia and Southeast Asia bigger.
译文:森林资源丰富的普洱市已投入 30 亿元建设产业园,以拓展南亚和东南亚市场。
分析:本句为包含多重后置修饰的复杂简单句。rich in forest resources 是形容词短语作后置定语,修饰主语 Pu’er City,可还原为定语从句 which is rich in forest resources;谓语核心结构为 put...into doing sth.(投入…… 做某事);句末 to make... 是动词不定式作目的状语,内部嵌套 make + 宾语 + 形容词比较级 的复合结构。

2026 年是中国与老挝建立外交关系的第 65 周年。中老铁路已顺利建成,并于 2021 年 12 月 3 日正式通车,这深化了两国之间的友谊。
中老铁路北起中国昆明,南至老挝万象,全长 1000 多公里。自 2016 年全线开工以来,两万余名中老铁路建设者奋战了 1800 多个日夜。
尽管工程难度极大,建设者们仍全力以赴,力求打造精品铁路。他们都十分敬业,用更具创意的方式修建铁路。例如,中老铁路野象谷站周边栖息着大量亚洲象,为了不伤害大象,建设者们更改了线路,将中老铁路打造成了一条人与自然和谐共生的道路。
老挝驻昆明总领事马尼拉・宋班迪表示:“中老铁路的开通助力中老贸易发展,也将老挝社会发展推向了新高度。” 沿线地区抓住中老铁路开通的新机遇,森林资源丰富的普洱市已投入 30 亿元建设产业园,拓展南亚、东南亚市场。与此同时,多项助力贸易发展的规划也已出台。
毫无疑问,中老铁路为沿线各地带来了全新的发展契机。

Passage 01
(2026·四川南充·中考真题)Ugochin is a foreign student studying in China. She took part in the show A Foreign Apprentice Comes to the Mountains in Yunhe, Zhejiang Province, to know more about Chinese country life. She fully experienced it in the show.
In front of the camera, she worked together with local villagers to dig potatoes, make tofu, catch fish and cook tasty meals. Away from the camera, she was interested in this peaceful country life. Such a life was shaped more by land, weather and old customs rather than busy work.
“China’s rural revitalization (乡村振兴) is really amazing.” Ugochin said. In Yunhe, she met local young villagers who had made a big difference. Instead of selling farm produce (农产品) in the old way, they packed it differently to make it look cooler. They also used livestreaming to reach customers across the country. By trying these new methods, they brought fresh energy to their hometown.
Apart from new looks in the countryside, Yunhe’s respect for traditions also impressed (留下印象) Ugochin. “This experience tells me that while we push forward rural revitalization, we should also protect old buildings, carry forward history and keep traditional skills alive.” she shared.
When the filming ended, Ugochin was not ready to leave the experience behind. She planned to go back to Yunhe and spend more time enjoying the priceless giving of the countryside. She said from the bottom of her heart, “Clear water and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver. ▲ ”

Passage 02
(2026·湖北·中考真题)In ancient China, letters were sent by pigeons and packages (包裹) by horses. Common people could hardly afford it. In 1896, China opened its very first post office. That was the beginning of China’s own postal service. With a small stamp on the cover, people in big cities could send letters and packages. Bikes, ships and trains carried them across mountains and rivers in the country, even abroad.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the postal service grew rapidly. Post offices were set up all around the country. Their services stretched to even the quietest, farthest villages. That made communication much easier for people in every corner of the country. College students could write to their parents in faraway hometowns. Friends and relatives could send packages on festivals to greet each other.
Since the 1990s, a new branch (分支) of postal service, the delivery (快递) industry, has also grown rapidly. Take the year 2025 for example. Every second, over 6,000 packages were on the move. Every day, more than 500 million packages were processed and put into trucks. In the whole year, over 180 billion were sent across the country. And the fastest delivery took only several hours!
Now, “speed” is no longer the only key word in this industry. Many delivery services have started to go green. Each year, more than 800 million boxes are reused or recycled. Besides, smart packing models are widely used. There’s no doubt that delivery services are smart in our life and friendly to our environment.
From pigeons and horses to delivery trucks, China’s postal history shows how this old great nation has developed and progressed. Looking forward, will China’s postal service fly to the moon and other planets in outer space?

A.Reported. B.Moved. C.Reached. D.Missed.
3.Which can best describe the delivery services according to paragraphs 3&4?
A.Faster Greener Smarter. B.Greener Smarter Cheaper.
C.Smarter Faster Safer. D.Safer Cheaper Greener.
4.What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage?
A.The writer hopes to live on other planets.
B.The writer shows interest in space history.
C.The writer wants to check the delivery address.
D.The writer has confidence in China’s postal service.
5.How does the writer organize the passage?
A.In the order of time. B.In the order of space.
C.From opinions to facts. D.From reasons to results.
Passage 01
People often talk about how life was better in the past, but how true is that? Let’s 1 my grandparents’ life with our life today.
My grandparents’ life was 2 different from ours. Firstly, people probably had a 3 life. For example, in the past there were more trees, lakes, and fresh air, so the elder people always felt 4 and comfortable. Secondly, there was no problem of traffic (交通) because there weren’t so many 5 on the road. However, there were no modern appliances (现代电器) such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) to make doing 6 easy, so they had to work hard to keep their house clean and prepare their food. They didn’t have the same chances that we have to enjoy themselves 7 . They couldn’t travel to all the interesting places for holidays and they usually 8 the holidays at the same local beach every year. Life was harder and 9 interesting.
Now we have a huge change in our life. We 10 machines more than in the past. The machines help make our life 11 . The Internet brings people together and makes our work faster. In a short time, we can send and receive the messages or make calls to 12 with each other. Our kitchens are full of modern appliances (家用电器) to make our lives easier, from fridges to dishwashers, 13 we have more time to do the things we want. We now have the chance to travel the world easily and experience new cultures. As a result, people are living more interesting lives. What’s more, because of the new 14 , saving lives has now become very easy.

Many young Chinese are looking for jobs in AI and robotics industries (行业). Companies also need excellent young people because the robotics industry is growing very fast. A report shows the number of job openings in this industry increased by 409% from January to May this year. Big companies like Tencent are holding competitions to find smart young talent all over the world.
b
Chinese scientists are making special AI glasses for farmers. The glasses can help farmers find problems of plants, check fruit growth, and provide step-by-step guides. They can help farmers make fewer mistakes, such as not knowing exactly where to cut plants. Right now, they work well on different kinds of fruits like grapes. The glasses may also help people with home gardens in the future.
c
Xinjiang’s Taklimakan Desert was once the “Sea of Death”. Now, with special trees, it has become a popular tourist place. Every year, about 500,000 tourists come to visit this area. Tourists enjoy fun activities like camping, riding bikes and riding camels on the sand. This growing travel industry also creates good jobs for people living there.
d
The first high-speed train in Southeast Asia, the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, built by China and Indonesia, has carried over 10 million passengers.

Passage 03
By the year 2040, classrooms will be totally different from what they are now. Here are some typical examples of the changes we may see in schools in future.
Interactive (互动的) walls will take the place of traditional blackboards. In traditional classrooms, teachers write on blackboards, but in future classrooms, teachers will write all the important words and knowledge points on the interactive walls. Students can also show their writing to the teachers on their intelligent desks. This can make students more active and more interested in class.
Holograms (全息图) will bring a new learning experience. What does outer space look like? Most of us learn about this from photos in books, but it is hard to have a real understanding only through these flat pictures. Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences. They can learn from 3D pictures in the classroom with the help of holograms. They can “get close to” stars, planets or even ancient creatures.
Virtual (虚拟) reality (VR) will offer students real scenes in class. When students learn about a king in history, they will be able to “walk” in the palace with him and feel the life of the ancient palace. When studying natural sciences, they can “step into” a rainforest or a deep sea. They will not only read about knowledge in books, but also “experience” it personally.
1.What can interactive walls do according to Paragraph 2?
A.Help students ask questions.
B.Show students’ writing to the teachers.
C.Make teachers learn important words.
D.Write the words on traditional blackboards.
2.What does the underlined word “They” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A.Holograms B.Flat photos
C.Students D.Different experiences
3.How does VR help students learn history?
A.By giving real scenes. B.By walking in the classroom.
C.By showing palaces in history. D.By reading stories about history.
4.What’s the structure of the passage? (Paragraph 1=①, Paragraph 2=②...)
A. B. C. D.
5.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.Our Classrooms in 2040
B.Learning More Effectively in 2040
C.More Interactive Classrooms in 2040
D.New Technologies Change Our Life in 2040
Passage 04
The changes of lifestyles in China
In the past seventy years, great changes have taken place in China. With the development of national economy (经济) in the seventy years, the lifestyles of people have also changed a lot.
1 In the past, there wasn’t enough food, so most people were unhealthy in some way. However, nowadays people not only can be full, but also can eat healthily. They’re paying more attention to the balance of the diet.
People used to buy clothes in the same style with grey or blue colors. Now, brand (品牌) and fashion become the mainstream (主流). What’s more, some non-mainstream clothes culture is rising. 2
In the past, all the family members were crowded in just one house with little furniture, not to mention decorations. In present China, per capita (人均) living area is big. 3 What’s more, it’s common that many people spend lots of money buying high-grade houses in Beijing, Shanghai and other large cities.
4 Nowadays, in the streets run bicycles, electric mobiles, and more and more private (私人的) cars. More people go traveling by plane, not simply by train or on foot.
Looking back to the seventy years in China, there were no words that could describe the great changes in China. 5 There’s no doubt that with the time passing by, the future China will become much better.
根据材料内容, 从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项, 使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.Food is what matters to people.
B.Traffic conditions have been improved greatly.
C.People are interested in colorful and strange dresses.
D.All above is a small part, but the whole world shocks.
E.People pay more attention to the design inside the house.

Back then, cameras used expensive film (昂贵胶卷), so every photo was important. It usually cost around 15 yuan to develop (冲洗) a roll of film. But at that time, I only made 510 yuan a month!
Xu Zhenhe, 57, Beijing
Usually, the cameras on our phones are enough for us to take photos now. Expensive cameras are no longer necessary for ordinary needs. We can even edit (编辑) photos on our phones.
Xu Zhaolin, 25, Beijing
·Food coupon (粮票)
When I was a kid, we had to use food coupons, or liangpiao, to get food. Each person had a fixed quantity (定量) of grain each month. Sometimes we didn’t have enough rice to eat, so we could often eat the stored coarse grains like sweet potatoes.
Huang Kunrong, 72, Sichuan
We lead a better life without worrying about food shortages any more. We often have different dishes every day. We also travel to many different places and taste so many local dishes. What’s more, we don’t have to use coupons to pay.
Xiao Yao, 14, Sichuan

【答案与解析】
【答案】1.D 2.B 3.D 4.C 5.B
【导语】本文通过两代人(长辈与晚辈)关于相机和粮票的对话,对比了中国改革开放48年来在摄影技术和饮食生活方面的巨大变化,展现了人们生活水平的显著提高。
1.根据文章引言“A talk between the older and younger generations shows how people’s lives have changed.”以及文中通过老一代和新一代对相机、食物等不同方面的描述对比,可知作者是通过对比(making comparisons)来展示人们生活的变化。
2.根据Xu Zhenhe部分“It usually cost around 15 yuan to develop a roll of film. But at that time, I only made 510 yuan a month!”可知,冲洗一卷胶卷约15元,月收入510元。计算510÷15=34,所以一个月最多能冲洗34次。
3.根据Xu Zhaolin部分“Usually, the cameras on our phones are enough for us to take photos now...We can even edit photos on our phones.”可知,手机摄像头已足够拍照且能编辑照片,说明手机让拍照和修图变得更加容易和便捷。
4.根据Huang Kunrong部分“Sometimes we didn’t have enough rice to eat, so we could often eat the stored coarse grains like sweet potatoes.”可知,他在早年大米不够吃时,经常吃存储的粗粮如红薯(Sweet potatoes)。
5.本文通过采访不同年代的人来反映改革开放以来的社会变化,属于社会新闻报道或访谈录,最可能出自报纸(A newspaper),而不是广告、小说或海报。根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
译文
2026 年是中国改革开放第 48 周年。一场新老两代人的对话,生动展现了人们生活发生的巨大变迁。
・相机
我这台相机是 1998 年买的,日本产。那时候,进口商品只能在专门的商店买到。当年的相机要用价格不菲的胶卷,所以每一张照片都很珍贵。冲洗一卷胶卷通常要花 15 元左右,可我那时候一个月工资才 510 元!
—— 徐振和,57 岁,北京
如今,手机自带的相机就足以满足日常拍照需求。普通使用场景下,昂贵的相机已经不再是必需品。我们甚至还能直接在手机上编辑照片。
—— 徐兆林,25 岁,北京
・粮票
我小时候,得用粮票才能买到粮食。每个人每个月的口粮都是定量的。有时候大米不够吃,我们就常吃红薯这类储存的粗粮。
—— 黄坤荣,72 岁,四川
我们现在的日子好多了,再也不用担心粮食短缺。每天都能换着花样吃菜,还能去各地旅游,品尝各色地方美食。而且,买东西再也不用票证了。
—— 肖瑶,14 岁,四川
Passage 02
2026 marks the 65th anniversary of the setting up of diplomatic (外交的) relations between China and Laos. China-Laos Railway had been built successfully and was opened to us on 3rd December 2021. 1 .
China-Laos Railway starts from Kunming, China in the north and ends in Vientiane, Laos in the south. 2 . Since the start of the whole line in December 2016, more than 20,000 builders of China-Laos Railway had been fighting for more than 1,800 days and nights.
Although the project was so difficult, the builders tried their best to make the railway perfect. 3 . For example, there are many Asian elephants living around the Wild Elephant Valley Station of China-Laos Railway. 4 . And they have built China-Laos Railway into a road where people and nature live in harmony.
“The opening of China-Laos Railway helps the development of China-Laos trade (贸易). And it pushes Laos’ social development to a new level,” Manila Sombandi, Consul General (总领事) of Laos in Kunming, said. The areas along the route have taken the new chances of the opening of China-Laos Railway. Pu’er City, rich in forest resources (资源), has put 3 billion yuan into building an industrial park to make the markets in South Asia and Southeast Asia bigger. 5 .
Without doubt, China-Laos Railway has brought new development for all places along the route.
A.It is more than 1,000 kilometres.
B.To meet wild animals, builders chose this route.
C.This has deepened the friendship between the two countries.
D.In order not to hurt the elephants, the builders changed their route.
E.At the same time, many plans have been made to help promote the trade.
F.They were all hard-working and built the railway in a more creative way.
长难句解析
原句:Pu’er City, rich in forest resources, has put 3 billion yuan into building an industrial park to make the markets in South Asia and Southeast Asia bigger.
译文:森林资源丰富的普洱市已投入 30 亿元建设产业园,以拓展南亚和东南亚市场。
分析:本句为包含多重后置修饰的复杂简单句。rich in forest resources 是形容词短语作后置定语,修饰主语 Pu’er City,可还原为定语从句 which is rich in forest resources;谓语核心结构为 put...into doing sth.(投入…… 做某事);句末 to make... 是动词不定式作目的状语,内部嵌套 make + 宾语 + 形容词比较级 的复合结构。

2026 年是中国与老挝建立外交关系的第 65 周年。中老铁路已顺利建成,并于 2021 年 12 月 3 日正式通车,这深化了两国之间的友谊。
中老铁路北起中国昆明,南至老挝万象,全长 1000 多公里。自 2016 年全线开工以来,两万余名中老铁路建设者奋战了 1800 多个日夜。
尽管工程难度极大,建设者们仍全力以赴,力求打造精品铁路。他们都十分敬业,用更具创意的方式修建铁路。例如,中老铁路野象谷站周边栖息着大量亚洲象,为了不伤害大象,建设者们更改了线路,将中老铁路打造成了一条人与自然和谐共生的道路。
老挝驻昆明总领事马尼拉・宋班迪表示:“中老铁路的开通助力中老贸易发展,也将老挝社会发展推向了新高度。” 沿线地区抓住中老铁路开通的新机遇,森林资源丰富的普洱市已投入 30 亿元建设产业园,拓展南亚、东南亚市场。与此同时,多项助力贸易发展的规划也已出台。

Passage 01
(2026·四川南充·中考真题)Ugochin is a foreign student studying in China. She took part in the show A Foreign Apprentice Comes to the Mountains in Yunhe, Zhejiang Province, to know more about Chinese country life. She fully experienced it in the show.
In front of the camera, she worked together with local villagers to dig potatoes, make tofu, catch fish and cook tasty meals. Away from the camera, she was interested in this peaceful country life. Such a life was shaped more by land, weather and old customs rather than busy work.
“China’s rural revitalization (乡村振兴) is really amazing.” Ugochin said. In Yunhe, she met local young villagers who had made a big difference. Instead of selling farm produce (农产品) in the old way, they packed it differently to make it look cooler. They also used livestreaming to reach customers across the country. By trying these new methods, they brought fresh energy to their hometown.
Apart from new looks in the countryside, Yunhe’s respect for traditions also impressed (留下印象) Ugochin. “This experience tells me that while we push forward rural revitalization, we should also protect old buildings, carry forward history and keep traditional skills alive.” she shared.
When the filming ended, Ugochin was not ready to leave the experience behind. She planned to go back to Yunhe and spend more time enjoying the priceless giving of the countryside. She said from the bottom of her heart, “Clear water and green mountains are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver. ▲ ”

Passage 02
(2026·湖北·中考真题)In ancient China, letters were sent by pigeons and packages (包裹) by horses. Common people could hardly afford it. In 1896, China opened its very first post office. That was the beginning of China’s own postal service. With a small stamp on the cover, people in big cities could send letters and packages. Bikes, ships and trains carried them across mountains and rivers in the country, even abroad.
After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the postal service grew rapidly. Post offices were set up all around the country. Their services stretched to even the quietest, farthest villages. That made communication much easier for people in every corner of the country. College students could write to their parents in faraway hometowns. Friends and relatives could send packages on festivals to greet each other.
Since the 1990s, a new branch (分支) of postal service, the delivery (快递) industry, has also grown rapidly. Take the year 2025 for example. Every second, over 6,000 packages were on the move. Every day, more than 500 million packages were processed and put into trucks. In the whole year, over 180 billion were sent across the country. And the fastest delivery took only several hours!
Now, “speed” is no longer the only key word in this industry. Many delivery services have started to go green. Each year, more than 800 million boxes are reused or recycled. Besides, smart packing models are widely used. There’s no doubt that delivery services are smart in our life and friendly to our environment.
From pigeons and horses to delivery trucks, China’s postal history shows how this old great nation has developed and progressed. Looking forward, will China’s postal service fly to the moon and other planets in outer space?
1.What happened in 1896 according to the passage?
A.Stamps were invented in China.
B.China’s first post office was opened.
C.People stopped using pigeons and horses.
D.Ships and trains began to carry passengers.
2.What does the underlined phrase “stretched to” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Reported. B.Moved. C.Reached. D.Missed.
3.Which can best describe the delivery services according to paragraphs 3&4?
A.Faster Greener Smarter. B.Greener Smarter Cheaper.
C.Smarter Faster Safer. D.Safer Cheaper Greener.
4.What can we learn from the last sentence of the passage?
A.The writer hopes to live on other planets.
B.The writer shows interest in space history.
C.The writer wants to check the delivery address.
D.The writer has confidence in China’s postal service.
5.How does the writer organize the passage?
A.In the order of time. B.In the order of space.
C.From opinions to facts. D.From reasons to results.
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章按时间顺序介绍了中国邮政及快递服务从古代到现代的发展历程及未来展望。
【详解】1.根据第一段“In 1896, China opened its very first post office.”可知,1896年发生的是中国第一家邮局开业。
2.根据第二段“Post offices were set up all around the country. Their services stretched to even the quietest, farthest villages.”可知,此处指服务范围覆盖或到达了偏远村庄,“Reached”(到达)意思最接近。
3.根据第三段“And the fastest delivery took only several hours!”可知,快递更快(Faster);根据第四段“Many delivery services have started to go green.”可知,更环保(Greener);根据第四段“smart packing models are widely used.”可知,更智能(Smarter)。
4.根据文章最后一句“Looking forward, will China’s postal service fly to the moon and other planets in outer space?”可知,这是一个基于发展现状提出的展望,暗示了作者对中国邮政服务未来发展的信心和期待。
5.通读全文可知,文章出现了“In ancient China”、“In 1896”、“After the founding...in 1949”、“Since the 1990s”、“Take the year 2025”、“Now”等明显的时间标志词,说明文章是按时间顺序组织的。

People often talk about how life was better in the past, but how true is that? Let’s 1 my grandparents’ life with our life today.
My grandparents’ life was 2 different from ours. Firstly, people probably had a 3 life. For example, in the past there were more trees, lakes, and fresh air, so the elder people always felt 4 and comfortable. Secondly, there was no problem of traffic (交通) because there weren’t so many 5 on the road. However, there were no modern appliances (现代电器) such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) to make doing 6 easy, so they had to work hard to keep their house clean and prepare their food. They didn’t have the same chances that we have to enjoy themselves 7 . They couldn’t travel to all the interesting places for holidays and they usually 8 the holidays at the same local beach every year. Life was harder and 9 interesting.
Now we have a huge change in our life. We 10 machines more than in the past. The machines help make our life 11 . The Internet brings people together and makes our work faster. In a short time, we can send and receive the messages or make calls to 12 with each other. Our kitchens are full of modern appliances (家用电器) to make our lives easier, from fridges to dishwashers, 13 we have more time to do the things we want.

【导语】本文通过对比祖父母时代与现在的生活,论述了现代生活的便利与进步,并表达了对当下生活的珍惜。
【详解】21.句意:让我们把祖父母的生活与我们今天的生活进行对比。
前文提出疑问过去生活是否更好,后文将祖辈生活和如今生活对比,固定搭配“compare A with B”表示“把A和B进行对比”。connect“连接”、part“分开”、create“创造”均不能与“with”构成此搭配。
1.句意:我祖父母的生活与我们的确实有很大不同。
后文通过“Firstly...Secondly...”列举了多个不同之处,说明差异是“确实、肯定”存在的,用certainly加强语气。luckily“幸运地”、hardly“几乎不”、easily“容易地”均不符合。
2.句意:首先,老一辈人大概都过着宁静的生活。
后文举例“more trees, lakes, and fresh air”,这些自然环境让人感到“平静的、宁静的”,用peaceful。noisy“吵闹的”、boring“无聊的”、colorful“多彩的”均不符合。
3.句意:所以老人们总是感到放松和舒适。
前文提到有更多树木、湖泊和新鲜空气,这样的环境会让人感到“放松的”(relaxed)。hard“艰苦的”、lonely“孤独的”、nervous“紧张的”均与舒适的环境相悖。
4.句意:因为路上没有那么多车,所以没有交通问题。
造成交通问题的通常是“车辆”,且搭配“on the road”用cars。people“人们”、ships“船”、horses“马”均不符合。
5.句意:然而过去没有洗衣机、吸尘器这类现代电器来简化家务劳动。
前文提到“keep their house clean and prepare their food”,这些都是“家务活”。homework“家庭作业”、business“生意”、exercise“锻炼”均不符合。
6.句意:他们也没有我们如今拥有的同等娱乐机会。
前文说他们没有现代电器,后文说他们不能去旅游,这里表示“也”没有享受的机会,且用于否定句末,用either。also“也”(用于肯定句)、again“再次”、together“一起”均不符合。
7.句意:他们无法去往各地度假,每年通常都在本地同一片海滩度过假期。
表示“度过时间”用spent,搭配“spent the holidays at...”。took“花费”(主语为it)、paid“支付”、cost“花费”(主语为物)均不符合。
8.句意:生活更艰难,也更无趣。
前文提到生活更艰难(harder),此处并列表示“更不有趣”,用less修饰interesting。least“最少”(最高级)、most“最多”、more“更多”均不符合。
9.句意:我们现在比过去更依赖机器。
后文说“机器帮助让我们的生活更轻松”,说明我们更“依赖”机器。take in“吸收”、look for“寻找”、give up“放弃”均不符合。
10.句意:机器让我们的生活变得更加便捷。
前文提到现代电器让生活更轻松,此处用easier表示“更容易的”。sadder“更悲伤的”、slower“更慢的”、worse“更差的”均不符合。
11.句意:短时间内,我们就能收发消息、打电话来互相沟通。
发送消息和打电话都是“交流”(communicate)的方式。cheer“欢呼”、provide“提供”、compete“竞争”均不符合。
12.句意:所以我们有更多时间做我们想做的事。
前文说厨房充满现代电器(原因),后文说我们有更多时间(结果),前后是因果关系,用so引导结果状语从句。because“因为”(引导原因)逻辑颠倒,if“如果”和but“但是”均不表示因果。
13.句意:而且,因为新技术,挽救生命如今变得十分容易。
前文提到“saving lives”,与医疗“技术”(technology)相关。address“地址”、expression“表达”、challenge“挑战”均不符合。
14.句意:我不是说如今一切都完美,但综合以上全部理由,我认为能生活在当下十分幸运。
前文列举了现代生活的种种好处,这些都是“理由”。messes“混乱”、relations“关系”、reports“报告”均不符合。

Passage 03
By the year 2040, classrooms will be totally different from what they are now. Here are some typical examples of the changes we may see in schools in future.
Interactive (互动的) walls will take the place of traditional blackboards. In traditional classrooms, teachers write on blackboards, but in future classrooms, teachers will write all the important words and knowledge points on the interactive walls. Students can also show their writing to the teachers on their intelligent desks. This can make students more active and more interested in class.
Holograms (全息图) will bring a new learning experience. What does outer space look like? Most of us learn about this from photos in books, but it is hard to have a real understanding only through these flat pictures. Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences. They can learn from 3D pictures in the classroom with the help of holograms. They can “get close to” stars, planets or even ancient creatures.
Virtual (虚拟) reality (VR) will offer students real scenes in class. When students learn about a king in history, they will be able to “walk” in the palace with him and feel the life of the ancient palace. When studying natural sciences, they can “step into” a rainforest or a deep sea. They will not only read about knowledge in books, but also “experience” it personally.
1.What can interactive walls do according to Paragraph 2?
A.Help students ask questions.
B.Show students’ writing to the teachers.

【答案】1.B 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了到2040年,教室将会发生的巨大变化,包括互动墙、全息图和虚拟现实等新技术在教学中的应用,这些变化将使学生的学习体验更加丰富和生动。
【详解】41.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Interactive walls will take the place of traditional blackboards...Students can also show their writing to the teachers on their intelligent desks.”可知,互动墙可以取代传统黑板,并且学生可以在智能课桌上向老师展示他们的书写。故选B。
1.词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Students in the future will be able to have very different experiences. They can learn from 3D pictures in the classroom with the help of holograms.”可知,未来的学生将能够有非常不同的体验,他们可以在全息图的帮助下从教室里的3D图片中学习。由此推断,“They”指的是“学生们”。故选C。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Virtual reality (VR) will offer students real scenes in class. When students learn about a king in history, they will be able to ‘walk’ in the palace with him and feel the life of the ancient palace.”可知,虚拟现实将为学生提供课堂上的真实场景,当学生学习历史上的国王时,他们将能够与他一起在宫殿中“行走”,感受古代宫殿的生活。因此,VR通过提供真实场景来帮助学生学习历史。故选A。
3.篇章结构题。文章第一段总述了到2040年教室将会发生的巨大变化,并引出下文的具体介绍;第二、三、四段分别介绍了互动墙、全息图和虚拟现实在教学中的应用,为并列关系。因此,文章的结构为总—分结构,即①/②③④。故选D。
