Look at the works of art in the picture. Shao Lujie, a 29-year-old craftsman (手艺人) from Zhejiang, created them for the 19th Asian Games, 2023.
Shao’s craft is known as quilling (盘纸), which has a long history. It is a form of art that uses long thin strips (条) of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create artworks.
Since Shao was a child, he has loved painting and handicrafts. Having learned quilling in 2016 from a master of the art, Shao has been devoting himself completely to the craft. Shao started his own business after a two-year apprenticeship (学徒期) when he was 23. He began by imitating the works of his teachers, but before long, he learned how to create his own works with new methods. “During this process, I found that this paper art handicraft can show the features of both painting and different design elements (元素). I hope to find new developments in this handicraft,” Shao said. Shao’s works mainly feature flowers and other plants. In recent years, Shao has worked hard to develop cultural and creative products with local characteristics, hoping to make more progress in quilling.
“Quilling is not well-known nationwide, and it can only be seen in a few places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces,” Shao said. To get more young people interested in quilling, Shao has gone online. “Usually I like to write articles about this art and post pictures of my latest works on social media,” he said. He hopes to open an exhibition (展览) hall in the future so that more people can learn about the craft and pass it down to future generations.

When we think about scientific achievement, geniuses like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton always come to mind. These people are often obsessed by their subjects of interest, choosing their fields of specialty at an early age. But is this always the case?
In fact, many of the most important discoveries come from a different kind of mind. Charles Darwin was an aspiring geologist when he sailed to observe faraway lands. He had little knowledge in biology but through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Another such great discovery was the invention of PCR (聚合酶链反应), which is essential for certain kinds of genetic research. Its inventor, Kary Mullis, barely earned a Ph.D in biochemistry. His time was spent writing fiction and running a bakery until a friend found him a job in biotechnology, where his great idea for PCR was born.
Darwin and Mullis were both natural explorers. Darwin did poorly in school but was always curious about the animals and plants. As a child, Mullis was more interested in the spiders in his grandparents' basement than anything else.
It may not be surprising that these creative minds developed through play and exploration. Many educators argue that the classic model of education, in which teachers lecture and students memorize, is misguided. Most children are born with the drive to play and explore, which helps develop important skills. Probably the thinking skills Darwin and Mullis got were developed through this kind of play and exploration.
So, what are schools supposed to do today? They should allow our children to step out of the classroom, and encourage them to play and try new things. As Ni Minjing, head of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, once said,“ Every piece of soil, every flower and every clear night sky is a playground for scientific curiosity.”
16. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To explain the purpose.
C. To attract the readers' attention. D. To give background information.
17. Which of the following is true about Darwin and Mullis?
A. Darwin was a sharp and curious observer.
B. Mullis earned his Ph. D without difficulty.
C. Mullis got the idea for PCR while working at a bakery.
D. Darwin was a great biologist when he began his voyages.
18. What is the main contrast between“ Einstein and Newton” and“ Darwin and Mullis”?
A. The former group was more focused on formal education.
B. The latter group had a more non-traditional path to discovery.
C. The latter group started their fields of specialty at an early age.
D. The former group was more successful in scientific achievements.
19. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
20. Which is the best title of the text?
A. The Focused Early Years of Geniuses
B. The Success of Non- traditional Teaching
C. Unexpected Geniuses: The Power of Curiosity
D. Beyond the Classroom: The Importance of Play
【答案】16. A 17. A 18. B 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过对比传统科学家(如爱因斯坦和牛顿)与另类科学家(如达尔文和穆利斯)的成长路径,指出玩耍和探索对培养创造性思维的重要性,并呼吁学校改革教育模式,鼓励学生走出课堂。
【16题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When we think about scientific achievement, geniuses like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton always come to mind. But is this always the case? In fact, many of the most important discoveries come from a different kind of mind.”可知,首段通过对比普遍认知与提问,引出‘科学成就是否总是来自早期专注的天才’这一话题”,故选A。
【17题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He had little knowledge in biology but through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution”(他对生物学知之甚少,但通过旅行、敏锐的观察和强烈的好奇心,提出了进化论)可推知,达尔文是一名敏锐且充满好奇的观察者。故选A。
【18题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二至四段对达尔文和穆利斯的描述(如“had little knowledge in biology”“barely earned a Ph. D”“natural explorers”),以及第一段对爱因斯坦和牛顿的描述(“obsessed by their subjects, choosing fields at an early age”),可推知后者(达尔文和穆利斯)的发现路径更加非传统,而非早年专注专业领域。故选B。
【19题详解】
篇章结构题。通过分析文章结构可知,文章第一段引出话题“科学成就是否总是来自早期专注的天才?”,第二、三、四段随后以达尔文和穆利斯的例子作为反驳,说明重大发现常来自好奇心与探索;第五段指出传统教育模式的不足,并强调游戏与探索的重要性;第六段得出结论,给出学校应采取的做法,学校应鼓励孩子走出教室、尝试新事物。故选D。
【20题详解】
最佳标题题。全文通过对比传统天才与意外发现者,强调好奇心和探索对科学成就的重要性,标题应突出“意外天才与好奇心”;C项“意想不到的天才:好奇心的力量”符合文本主要内容,故选C。
C
At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, nobody was surprised to see robots dance or do backflips any more. What drew the biggest crowds were different scenes: a robot zipping up a schoolbag, another crossing obstacles during a power-line inspection, and a third folding towels in a model hotel room. “Real work” has become the key word of the industry.
Behind the scenes, numbers tell the same story. According to a report released at the conference, China shipped more than 40,000 humanoid (人形的) robots in the first half of 2026 — about 97 percent of the world’s total. In hotels, car showrooms and convenience stores, robots now welcome guests, explain products, restock shelves and patrol at night, working around the clock without complaint.
The road here, however, was anything but smooth. Early this year, when Xiaopeng’s humanoid robot IRON gave its first public walking show, it suddenly lost balance and fell, and laughter spread across the internet. Months later, an IRON robot finished its assembly on an automated production line and walked off it on its own — a small step that experts consider a turning point. “Building robots means getting used to failure,” said He Xiaopeng, the company’s chairman. In the real world, nothing follows a fixed script: objects get moved, people suddenly walk by, and tasks change without warning. A robot that can only “move” is still far from one that can truly “work”.
Scientists admit that the biggest weakness lies in what is called embodied generalization (具身泛化能力)— robots still work less efficiently than humans and struggle in unfamiliar environments. Yet most researchers remain confident. As one engineer put it, “Every fall teaches the machine something no textbook can.” Once the problems of physical AI are solved, robots that once performed on stages will finally step into our daily lives.
21. What change does the writer show at the beginning of the passage?
A. Robots have become much cheaper than before. B. People’s focus has shifted from performances to real work.
C. Robots no longer appear at big conferences. D. Factories have stopped using human workers.
22. What does the underlined word “script” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. A set of written instructions. B. A kind of robot software.
C. A report about failures. D. A stage performance.
23. Why does the writer mention IRON’s fall and its later success?
A. To prove Xiaopeng robots are the best in China. B. To show the industry has moved from failure to real progress.
C. To suggest robots should avoid public shows. D. To explain why robots fall down on stage.
24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. IRON walked off the production line without any help. B. China produced 97 percent of the world’s robots in 2025.
C. Robots already work better than humans in new environments. D. Engineers have solved the problems of physical AI.
25. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Robot Shows: A Thing of the Past B. From Dancing on Stage to Working in the World
C. How to Build a Robot Factory D. The Failure of Humanoid Robots
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. B 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述在世界机器人大会上,人们的关注点从机器人跳舞、后空翻这类表演转向机器人完成真实工作,介绍了人形机器人行业的发展现状、遇到的困难以及科研人员对机器人未来应用的信心。
【21题详解】
第一段指出:At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, nobody was surprised to see robots dance or do backflips any more. What drew the biggest crowds were different scenes…“Real work” has become the key word of the industry,这说明人们的注意力已经从机器人的舞台表演转移到机器人完成真实工作上。
【22题详解】
第三段指出:In the real world, nothing follows a fixed script: objects get moved, people suddenly walk by, and tasks change without warning. ,在现实世界里,事物不会按照固定的脚本运行,这里的“script”指机器人预先设定好的一套书面指令。
【23题详解】
第三段先介绍IRON机器人公开展示时摔倒,之后又完成自动装配并自行走下生产线,专家认为这是转折点。“Building robots means getting used to failure”,作者举这个例子是为了展现人形机器人行业经历失败,并且取得实质性进展。
【24题详解】
第三段指出:Months later, an IRON robot finished its assembly on an automated production line and walked off it on its own,这句话说明IRON机器人在没有任何帮助的情况下走下生产线。
【25题详解】
全文从机器人舞台表演不再吸引人,引出如今机器人开始做真实工作,第4段提到“robots that once performed on stages will finally step into our daily lives”,全文核心探讨了机器人从舞台表演走向现实世界工作的转变历程,选项B“From Dancing on Stage to Working in the World”最能概括文章主旨。

Look at the works of art in the picture. Shao Lujie, a 29-year-old craftsman (手艺人) from Zhejiang, created them for the 19th Asian Games, 2023.
Shao’s craft is known as quilling (盘纸), which has a long history. It is a form of art that uses long thin strips (条) of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create artworks.
Since Shao was a child, he has loved painting and handicrafts. Having learned quilling in 2016 from a master of the art, Shao has been devoting himself completely to the craft. Shao started his own business after a two-year apprenticeship (学徒期) when he was 23. He began by imitating the works of his teachers, but before long, he learned how to create his own works with new methods. “During this process, I found that this paper art handicraft can show the features of both painting and different design elements (元素). I hope to find new developments in this handicraft,” Shao said. Shao’s works mainly feature flowers and other plants. In recent years, Shao has worked hard to develop cultural and creative products with local characteristics, hoping to make more progress in quilling.
“Quilling is not well-known nationwide, and it can only be seen in a few places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces,” Shao said. To get more young people interested in quilling, Shao has gone online. “Usually I like to write articles about this art and post pictures of my latest works on social media,” he said. He hopes to open an exhibition (展览) hall in the future so that more people can learn about the craft and pass it down to future generations.
11. What can we learn about quilling from the text?
A. Quilling is learned by many young people. B. Quilling is famous around the world.
C. Quilling was invented when Shao was a child. D. Quilling needs many steps to complete.
12. When did Shao start his own business?
A. In 2016. B. In 2018. C. In 2021. D. In 2023.
13. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How popular is quilling? B. Why did Shao love painting and crafts?
C. What did Shao do to develop quilling? D. How has Shao improved quilling skills?
14. Which words can best describe Shao?

When we think about scientific achievement, geniuses like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton always come to mind. These people are often obsessed by their subjects of interest, choosing their fields of specialty at an early age. But is this always the case?
In fact, many of the most important discoveries come from a different kind of mind. Charles Darwin was an aspiring geologist when he sailed to observe faraway lands. He had little knowledge in biology but through his travels, keen observations and great curiosity, he developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Another such great discovery was the invention of PCR (聚合酶链反应), which is essential for certain kinds of genetic research. Its inventor, Kary Mullis, barely earned a Ph.D in biochemistry. His time was spent writing fiction and running a bakery until a friend found him a job in biotechnology, where his great idea for PCR was born.
Darwin and Mullis were both natural explorers. Darwin did poorly in school but was always curious about the animals and plants. As a child, Mullis was more interested in the spiders in his grandparents' basement than anything else.
It may not be surprising that these creative minds developed through play and exploration. Many educators argue that the classic model of education, in which teachers lecture and students memorize, is misguided. Most children are born with the drive to play and explore, which helps develop important skills. Probably the thinking skills Darwin and Mullis got were developed through this kind of play and exploration.
So, what are schools supposed to do today? They should allow our children to step out of the classroom, and encourage them to play and try new things. As Ni Minjing, head of the Shanghai Science and Technology Museum, once said,“ Every piece of soil, every flower and every clear night sky is a playground for scientific curiosity.”
16. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To explain the purpose.
C. To attract the readers' attention. D. To give background information.
17. Which of the following is true about Darwin and Mullis?
A. Darwin was a sharp and curious observer.
B. Mullis earned his Ph. D without difficulty.
C. Mullis got the idea for PCR while working at a bakery.
D. Darwin was a great biologist when he began his voyages.
18. What is the main contrast between“ Einstein and Newton” and“ Darwin and Mullis”?
A. The former group was more focused on formal education.
B. The latter group had a more non-traditional path to discovery.
C. The latter group started their fields of specialty at an early age.
D. The former group was more successful in scientific achievements.
19. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
20. Which is the best title of the text?
A. The Focused Early Years of Geniuses
B. The Success of Non- traditional Teaching
C. Unexpected Geniuses: The Power of Curiosity
D. Beyond the Classroom: The Importance of Play
C
At the 2026 World Robot Conference in Beijing, nobody was surprised to see robots dance or do backflips any more. What drew the biggest crowds were different scenes: a robot zipping up a schoolbag, another crossing obstacles during a power-line inspection, and a third folding towels in a model hotel room. “Real work” has become the key word of the industry.
Behind the scenes, numbers tell the same story. According to a report released at the conference, China shipped more than 40,000 humanoid (人形的) robots in the first half of 2026 — about 97 percent of the world’s total. In hotels, car showrooms and convenience stores, robots now welcome guests, explain products, restock shelves and patrol at night, working around the clock without complaint.
The road here, however, was anything but smooth. Early this year, when Xiaopeng’s humanoid robot IRON gave its first public walking show, it suddenly lost balance and fell, and laughter spread across the internet. Months later, an IRON robot finished its assembly on an automated production line and walked off it on its own — a small step that experts consider a turning point. “Building robots means getting used to failure,” said He Xiaopeng, the company’s chairman. In the real world, nothing follows a fixed script: objects get moved, people suddenly walk by, and tasks change without warning. A robot that can only “move” is still far from one that can truly “work”.
Scientists admit that the biggest weakness lies in what is called embodied generalization (具身泛化能力)— robots still work less efficiently than humans and struggle in unfamiliar environments. Yet most researchers remain confident. As one engineer put it, “Every fall teaches the machine something no textbook can.” Once the problems of physical AI are solved, robots that once performed on stages will finally step into our daily lives.
21. What change does the writer show at the beginning of the passage?
A. Robots have become much cheaper than before. B. People’s focus has shifted from performances to real work.
C. Robots no longer appear at big conferences. D. Factories have stopped using human workers.
22. What does the underlined word “script” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. A set of written instructions. B. A kind of robot software.
C. A report about failures. D. A stage performance.
23. Why does the writer mention IRON’s fall and its later success?
A. To prove Xiaopeng robots are the best in China. B. To show the industry has moved from failure to real progress.
C. To suggest robots should avoid public shows. D. To explain why robots fall down on stage.
24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. IRON walked off the production line without any help. B. China produced 97 percent of the world’s robots in 2025.
C. Robots already work better than humans in new environments. D. Engineers have solved the problems of physical AI.
25. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Robot Shows: A Thing of the Past B. From Dancing on Stage to Working in the World
C. How to Build a Robot Factory D. The Failure of Humanoid Robots
