Grandma was putting rice cakes in the sun in the yard. Hearing my voice, she turned her head around 12 , glasses sliding (滑动) to the tip of her nose. “Oh! My little sweetheart!” Grandma came over. “You’ve grown even 13 again!” Every Spring Festival, it is nearly the 14 greeting that welcomes me home.

She asked, “Haven’t these been expired?” Grandma’s hand stopped for a while and said 23 a low voice, “Expired? I… I thought the wrapper still looked fine…” The room suddenly became 24 . The tick-tock of the old clock sounded unusually clear. I took another bite of the beef jerky, “Well, it’s not expired! They say online — 25 has no expiration date!” Grandma stood silently for a second, and then broke into a big smile. “Yes, yes — love never expires!” 11. A. door B. desk C. box D. floor 12.

Horses are liked by people all over the world. But how much do you know about them? The eyes of horses are located on the sides of their heads, so they can see almost 360 degrees around themselves. They can move their ears to hear sounds. They can even hear other horses from up to 2 kilometers away. A horse’s lungs can hold about 60 liters of air while a human’s can only hold around 6 liters. This helps horses breathe in lots of oxygen when they run and play. However, they only sleep about 3 hours a day and sometimes sleep standing up. Isn’t it amazing? Though horses may be of less practical importance in modern society, their spirits still run deeply through Chinese culture. We can experience them in many Chinese idioms (习语). A talented person is often called qianlima, an energetic horse that covers a thousand li a day. If someone takes the lead in an activity, we will say yimadangxian. Besides, there are also some horse-related English idioms. A dark horse is a little-known person or team that surprises everyone by winning. A workhorse is a person who does a lot of work without complaints. ▲ They can remember their human friends after long periods of separation (分离). Horses are loyal. They stick to their owners through wind and rain and never leave easily. Horses are determined (坚定的). They keep finishing long-distance races no matter how tired they are. People born in the Year of the Horse are said to share such good qualities. So, do you have a friend or a family member who enjoys 2026 as his or her animal year? 29. How does the writer make the facts about horses more interesting in Paragraph 2? A. By listing numbers. B. By comparing ideas. C. By asking questions. D. By using time order. 30. What do you call a little-known person who surprises everyone by winning in Paragraph 3? A. Qianlima. B. Yimadangxian. C. A dark horse. D. A workhorse. 31. Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A. Horses are brave. B. Horses are clever. C. Horses are energetic. D. Horses are powerful. 32. What is the text mainly about? A. Horses are easily tired. B. Horses are determined. C. Some horse-related Chinese idioms. D. Some features and spirits of horses. C At the CCTV 2026 Spring Festival Gala, a fun performance called WuBOT became very popular, where over 20 G1 and H2 humanoid robots, together with some martial arts students, performed traditional Chinese kung fu. The performance connects traditional kung fu with the modern AI-powered humanoid robots. Humanoid robots, which have a lot of important parts like sensors (传感器) and AI systems, are machines that look and act like human beings. Then why are they made like human beings? This is because most things around us, like doors and stairs, are made for our size and shape. If they look like us, they can use these things like we do. As a result, we don’t need to make big changes to these things. This can save a lot of money and time. Humanoid robots serve as new tools that work with and for humans in different fields. In the factories, humanoid robots carry car parts, pack goods and move boxes. They actually do the boring repeated human work. At home, they help clean floors, tidy rooms, make coffee and iron the clothes. In hospitals, they send medicine and help nurses lift patients. Schools buy humanoid robots for STEM classes. Shopping malls and restaurants use them to give performances to welcome guests. Most importantly, humanoid robots can work as policemen going on patrols (巡逻) in our neighborhood, and this provides us with a safe environment. Nowadays, with the fast development of science and technology, humanoid robots have been developing quickly from lab inventions to real-life helpers. More companies have started to produce them in large numbers. Because of mass production, the cost of humanoid robots has dropped a lot, so even small workshops can afford them. By 2050, there will be about 930 million humanoid robots doing simple jobs. Around 80 million humanoid robots will work in homes. China will probably have the world’s most humanoid robots. Some experts believe that they will become as common as household appliances (家用电器) in the future. 33. Why does the writer mention the fun performance WuBOT in Paragraph 1? A. To advertise a TV programme. B. To lead in the topic of the text. C. To introduce the Spring Festival Gala. D. To spread traditional Chinese kung fu. 34. What does the word “they” refer to in Paragraph 2? A. Sensors. B. Machines. C. AI systems. D. Humanoid robots. 35. What can we learn about humanoid robots in Paragraph 3? A. They can only do the repeated work. B. They have taken the place of humans. C. They are widely used in different fields. D. They have developed slowly at present. 36. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The types of humanoid robots B. The shapes of humanoid robots C. The appearance of humanoid robots D. The introduction to humanoid robots D “How were things going today, Zhao Min?” Mum asked me. “Terrible. Wang Xinyue got the role of Mulan at last,” I said. “Then what role did you get?” Mum added. “None,” I whispered. I ran to my bedroom and started drawing in my sketchbook (素描簿). Drawing always makes me feel better. The next day, Wang Xinyue was cheerful. But when the last bell rang, her mood changed. She was so nervous that she asked me to practice with her in the school hall. I wanted to say no. Then I realized I couldn’t leave yet. My parents had signed me up (报名) for the late bus, because I thought I would be in the play. In the hall, Ms Wu, director of the play, handed out copies of the script to all the actors. I sat in the third row, wishing I were in my bedroom drawing. Ms Wu pulled a cardboard onto the middle of the stage. It was brown with small hills and old city walls. Then the play started. Wang Xinyue acted so well that everybody cheered for her. I had to say that she was really suitable for the role of Mulan. “When will we get the real sets (布景)?” Wang Xinyue pointed to the cardboard. “These are the real sets,” Ms Wu said. “We don’t have an art teacher this year. So that’s the best we could do.” Wang Xinyue and I walked outside. “You were great,” I said. “Everyone will love the play.” “Thanks,” Wang Xinyue said. “But did you see the sets?” I thought for a moment. “Maybe I can help.” I spent that evening drawing. The next morning, I put my sketchbook into my backpack and ran to the bus. Time seemed to go more slowly. Finally, the last bell rang. I rushed to Ms Wu’s office and showed her my ideas. After seeing my ideas, she talked to some other teachers. They liked my ideas too. Over the next weeks, a corner of the lunchroom was filled with cardboard and paints. And lots of students were working on the sets. Finally, the opening night arrived. I sat next to Mum and Dad in the hall. When the curtain (幕布) rose, a piece of amazing cardboard appeared, on which was a huge land with rolling hills, well-trained soldiers and running horses. The play began. Wang Xinyue was a wonderful Mulan, and everyone clapped (鼓掌) when the play was over. Then Ms Wu called me up to the stage. She said into the microphone, “I’d like to thank the students who painted the sets. And special thanks to Zhao Min, who designed them. Her effort and talent made tonight extra special.” Everyone clapped. For me, I did get a part in the play after all. And it was just as good as being Mulan. 37. Who got the role of Mulan at last? A.
