A.主题群:历史、社会与文化 子主题:传统民居中的数字文化 语篇类型:说明文 词数:约310 难度:★★★
When you walk into a traditional courtyard house in North China, you may notice the number of rooms is never random. Old builders followed hidden number rules that have been kept for centuries. These numbers are not for math class; they show balance, family order and good wishes.
Take the standard siheyuan as an example. A complete one has 10 main rooms: 3 in the north (the master's room in the middle, 1 on each side), 2 in the east, 2 in the west, and 3 in the south gate house. Why 10? In Chinese folk belief, 10 means "wholeness" because people once thought "sky has 9 layers and earth has 1 layer, together they make perfection".
The north house often has 5 steps in front. The number 5 stands for the "five elements" (metal, wood, water, fire, earth). Builders believed if these five are in balance, the family will be healthy. The windows on the east wing usually come in 4 pairs—double 2, and 2 is the number for "harmony between husband and wife".
Another detail is the roof tiles. A rich family's house may use 16 rows of tiles on the front roof. 16 is double 8, and 8 sounds like "fa" (getting rich) in Chinese. So 16 brings even more prosperity.
Today, some young designers rebuild siheyuan into coffee shops or hotels. They often change 10 rooms into 8, or 5 steps into 3, just to make the space look modern. To protect the old wisdom, Beijing now has workshops where old carpenters teach why the numbers matter. They hope the next generation will not only see a pretty house, but also read the cultural story in its walls.
1. Why does a standard siheyuan have 10 main rooms?
A. Because 10 is the easiest number to build.
B. Because 9 layers of sky plus 1 layer of earth means wholeness.
C. Because the law asks every house to have 10 rooms.
D. Because 10 is the number of people in a big family.
2. What does the number 5 in the steps of the north house represent?
A. Five flavors of food.
B. Five elements in Chinese philosophy.
C. Five generations living together.
D. Five colors of the roof.
3. Why do old siheyuan windows often come in 4 pairs?
A. Because 4 is the luckiest number in China.
B. Because 2 means harmony and double 2 keeps it strong.
C. Because carpenters only had 4 pieces of wood.
D. Because young people invented this rule.
4. What can we infer about young designers changing 10 rooms into 8?
A. They are learning the old number stories carefully.
B. Their changes may cause the loss of traditional number wisdom.
C. They want to make the house less beautiful.
D. They never use siheyuan for business.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. How to Build a Siheyuan Today
B. The Hidden Numbers in Chinese Courtyard Houses
C. Why Beijing Has the Best Old Houses
D. The Difference Between North and South Houses
B.主题群:社会与环境 子主题:通信方式的变化 语篇类型:说明文 词数:约280 难度:★★★
If you look at how people communicated 30 years ago, you will be surprised by the change. In 1995, most families in China had only 1 telephone line at home, and it was often busy. To send a message to a friend in another city, you wrote a letter and waited 3 days for it to arrive.
By 2010, things were different. About 7 out of 10 people had a mobile phone, but only 2 out of 10 had a smartphone. Most phones were used just for calling and sending short texts. A survey in 2012 showed teenagers spent 1 hour a day on their phones.
Now in 2026, the numbers tell a new story. Almost 9 out of 10 people own a smartphone. The same teenager spends 4 hours a day on it—watching videos, studying online, ordering food, or talking by video call. In one middle school, 5 classes use tablets every day instead of paper notebooks for some lessons.
But the fast change brings problems. Doctors say 6 of 100 students have neck pain because they look down at screens too long. And 8 main apps on a phone can take up so much time that some students forget to talk face to face.
Experts say the key is not to throw the phone away, but to use it wisely. Some schools in Shanghai now have "screen-free days". On those days, students read books, play sports, and write letters by hand again. They find that a 1-hour talk with a friend can be warmer than 10 hours of texting.
6. How did people send a message to a faraway friend in 1995 according to the passage?
A. By video call.
B. By writing a letter and waiting 3 days.
C. By smartphone text.
D. By tablet notebook.
7. What does "7 out of 10 people had a mobile phone" in 2010 show?
A. Almost everyone had a smartphone then.
B. Mobile phones were common but smartphones were still rare.
C. Letters were no longer used at all.
D. Teenagers spent 4 hours on phones in 2010.
8. What problem does the passage mention about today's phone use?
A. Phones are too expensive to buy.
B. Some students have neck pain from looking down too long.
C. No one uses video calls anymore.
D. Tablets have replaced all paper books.
9. What do Shanghai schools do on "screen-free days"?
A. They take away all phones forever.
B. Students read, play sports and write letters by hand.
C. They watch videos for 4 hours.
D. They use 8 apps for homework.
10. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Phones are bad and should be banned in schools.
B. Communication in China has changed fast in numbers, bringing both convenience and challenges.
C. Teenagers in 1995 were smarter than those in 2026.
D. Shanghai has the strictest phone rules in the world.

The world's population keeps growing, but in some places it is shrinking. 1_______
In Japan, the population falls by about 1 person every 3 minutes. By 2050, nearly 2 out of 10 people will be over 65. One reason is that young people marry late or not at all. "I want to work and travel first," said Yuki, a 26-year-old from Tokyo. "A child is not my plan yet."
2_______ In Italy, many women go to university and build careers. They often say, "One child is enough, or maybe none." Money is another problem. Raising a child in big cities costs too much.
3_______ In Portugal, thousands of people aged 20–30 left for France or Germany to find better jobs. When they go, they do not come back soon, so the home country loses both workers and babies.
Many governments try to change this. 4_______ In Hungary, a family gets money to buy a bigger house if they have 3 children. In South Korea, the government pays part of the childcare cost for the first 5 years.
5_______ But experts say the real key is to make work and family life easier for young people, not just to give money.
A. Lifestyle changes are also important.
B. This is happening fast in East Asia and Southern Europe.
C. Some countries give money and longer holidays to parents.
D. Young people there often delay having children.
E. Still, the population in those places continues to drop.
F. Moving abroad is a third reason for fewer people at home.

For travelers, the small town of Qingxi in 1987 was a place few people visited. At that time, there was only 1 narrow road and 2 old buses running once a day. Most people 1_______ (probable) never thought the town could have a subway in 30 years. It was natural 2_______ outsiders to feel surprised.
Mr. Lin, 3_______ photographer from the county newspaper, came to Qingxi in 1987. Since then, he 4_______ (travel) there hundreds of times. He has recorded every important moment by taking photos.

五、阅读表达
主题群:社会与环境 子主题:城市交通的变化 语篇类型:说明文 词数:约230 难度:★★★
In the past 20 years, the way people move around cities in China has changed greatly. Before 2010, most people rode bicycles or took crowded buses. Now, many take the subway, share bikes, or order a car on their phone.
A survey in 2025 in 5 big cities found some interesting numbers. On average, a citizen uses 3 Apps to plan a trip. About 7 out of 10 people say they travel faster than 10 years ago. The subway lines in these cities grew from 2 to 9 times the old length.
But new problems came too. In one city, 4 main roads are still jammed at 8 a.m. And 6 of 100 shared bikes were once left broken on the street corners.
City planners say the future is not only about speed, but also about green travel. They hope that by 2030, 8 out of 10 short trips will be done by bike, bus or metro, not by private car.
