No longer was it the secret world of emperors. Instead, it became the Palace Museum. Anyone could walk through the halls. Today it is the world’s most visited museum 2 it sells almost 20 million tickets every year. Have you ever stepped inside the Palace Museum? Once you do, you will find 3 (you) at the heart of one of the richest cultural collections on Earth. More than 1.8 million artifacts are displayed or stored there—ancient bronzes (青铜器), jade carvings (雕), calligraphy works and paintings 4 (hundred) of years old line the halls. Each item is like a quiet storyteller. They show visitors how people in China once lived, what they created and what they 5 (believe) in. As you gaze (凝视) at the porcelain (瓷器), dragon robes(龙袍), golden treasures and imperial armor (御甲), you won’t just admire them. You begin 6 (understand) them. These are not just priceless artifacts, they are “threads (丝线)” tying you back to a culture that has thrived (蓬勃发展) for over 5,000 years. Beyond its treasures, the Palace Museum itself is 7 wonder. The former Forbidden City is the world’s 8 (large) standing wooden palace complex. Its red walls, golden roofs, grand gates and large courtyards show the beauty of balance. Only by walking through its grounds can you 9 (real) appreciate (鉴赏) the thought and power behind its design. As it celebrates its hundredth year, the Palace Museum keeps reminding us why history must 10 (keep) alive. Each part of it and each of its artifacts carries a message across time. They invite us to listen, learn and connect with a culture that has shaped human history. The museum has amazed countless visitors, and it’s still calling us to step through its gates and discover more about China’s past. 一、完形填空 I didn’t like history. I thought it was boring until I was in Mr. Wilson’s class last year. Mr. Wilson asked us to open history books and 1 about how the ancient Egyptians used levers (杠杆) to move heavy stones. After we finished reading, he asked us why the Egyptians used levers rather than wheels. We weren’t 2 , because the book didn’t tell us. Mr. Wilson pointed out that it was hard to know 3 what happened many years ago. History is like a big mystery. “What else from history is like a mystery?”Mr. Wilson asked. “How did Abraham Lincoln 4 when he won the election (选举)?” said Sheila. “I think he was happy,” I replied. “He was probably worried,” said Molly. “Because he knew what 5 were coming.” Even Matt 6 his hand. He’d never done so before, 7 it gave us a shock. He said, “I think he was proud of his work.” “I think you’re all 8 ,” said Mr. Wilson. “We could read some of his letters and speeches to try and find the answer. However, we’ll never know for sure, because we’ll never have all of the 9 . That’s why reading about history is like reading a mystery.” After that, I’ve 10 learning about history, because I like reading mysteries. 1．A．read B．write C．speak D．hear 2．A．interested B．lucky C．certain D．afraid 3．A．easily B．quickly C．clearly D．exactly 4．A．succeed B．feel C．reply D．change 5．A．chances B．problems C．rules D．interviews 6．A．touched B．raised C．washed D．held 7．A．so B．or C．though D．but 8．A．right B．popular C．safe D．friendly 9．A．time B．money C．energy D．information 10．A．remembered B．stopped C．enjoyed D．avoided 二、阅读理解 （2026·福建省厦门期中考试）In 1929, Sanxingdui was first found in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, but its importance was not recognized until the year 1986 when ancient city walls, palaces and many gold ivory and bronze artifacts (青铜器) have been unearthed here. In 2001, archaeologists (考古学家), found the remains of another ancient city called Jinsha near Chengdu. They found a gold crown with similar engraved pattern (纹饰) of fish, arrows and birds to other golden objects found at Sanxingdui. For this reason, some scholars believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha. But it remains a mystery. Here are some clues that might help find the facts. In 1099 BC, ancient writers recorded an earthquake in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty (朝代), in present-day Shaanxi Province. Though that area is about 400 kilometres from the historic site of Sanxingdui, it is possible that the centre of the earthquake was actually close to Sanxingdui. Around the same time, the layers of dirt show that there was possibly a great flood (洪水). In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu (《蜀王本纪》), it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain in a spot, which suggests the river flowing in a new direction. Together, the ideas lead people to believe that possibly a large earthquake caused a landslide that dammed (拦住) the river. This changed its path and stopped the water from flowing to Sanxingdui. That may have forced the ancient Chinese people to leave their homes to move closer to the river’s new path. Living near water was very important at that time. The people had to get water from the river and carry it to their homes to drink, cook and wash. Although these clues help explain why the ancient Shu people moved from Sanxingdui to Jinsha, the real truth is still unclear. We need more research to find solid evidence. Sanxingdui and Jinsha are treasures of ancient Shu civilization, showing the great wisdom of ancient Chinese people. With further study, more secrets of this wonderful civilization will be uncovered step by step. 1．When was Sanxingdui first found? A．In 1929. B．In 1986. C．In 2001. D．In 1099. 2．The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A．how Jinsha remains were found B．why Sanxingdui’s discovery matters C．how the ancients made beautiful objects D．why people in Sanxingdui moved to Jinsha 3．What record in the Han Dynasty book has helped to solve this mystery? A．Floods poured from a mountain. B．The ancients moved to the river. C．There were similar golden objects. D．An earthquake hit near Sanxingdui. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Jinsha was built before Sanxingdui. B．Earthquakes hit Sanxingdui many times. C．Water was not important for the ancients. D．Sanxingdui and Jinsha shared the same culture. 5．In which book can we read this passage? A．Famous Rivers in History. B．Unsolved Mysteries of the World. C．History of Ancient Chinese Art. D．A Guide to Sichuan’s Natural Wonders. 3、 阅读与表达 （2026年甘肃省天水市中考英语试题） Welcome to Gansu Dear exchange students, welcome to our school! During your 3-month stay, you will have many free weekends.

Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders (梯子) and houses on a high mountain to keep hundreds of medicine plants. 1 This legend (传说) has made Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. 2 You can see natural scenery from all four seasons at different altitudes (海拔). “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia. Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 kinds of animals and plants. 3 For example, the golden monkey, the clouded leopard (云豹) and the Asian black bear live in this area.

We gather at this ________ spot near the ________ to enjoy the lively weekend market. 【答案】 central centre central centre 【详解】句意：中心广场坐落于城市的中心。我们聚集在这个靠近市中心的中心地点，感受热闹的周末集市。后面有名词“square”（广场），需要形容词修饰名词。centre的形容词是central，意为“中心的”。名词所有格city’s（城市的）后面要接名词，centre名词，意为“中心，市中心”。名词“spot”（地点）前面用形容词修饰，central是形容词，意为“中心的”。定冠词the后面接名词，centre是名词，意为“中心”。所以填central；centre；central；centre。 2．He lost his wallet, but ________ (luck), there was no money in it. 【答案】luckily 【详解】句意：他丢了钱包，但幸运的是，里面没有钱。空处修饰整个句子“there was no money in it”，应使用副词，“丢了钱包但钱包里没钱”算得上是幸运的事，因此luckily符合语法及语境。 3．It takes millions of years ________ (form) strange rock shapes. 【答案】to form 【详解】句意：形成奇特的岩石形态需要数百万年的时间。固定句型“It takes + 时间 + to do sth.”表示“做某事花费多长时间”，此处需用动词不定式，故填to form。 4．We should learn to realize the ________ (valuable) of every minute. 【答案】value 【详解】句意：我们应该学会意识到每一分钟的价值。定冠词“the”后接名词；valuable是形容词，其名词形式是value，the value of…意为“……的价值”。 5．You need to give the robot some oil to keep it working __________(smooth). 【答案】smoothly 【详解】句意：你需要给机器人一些油以让它保持平稳运行。 二、从 A-G 七个选项中选出五个填入短文空缺处，使短文完整流畅 How to Visit an Archaeological Exhibition Visiting an archaeological exhibition is a great way to learn about history. 1 Here are some tips to help you make the most of your visit.

Mr. Wilson pointed out that it was hard to know 3 what happened many years ago. History is like a big mystery. “What else from history is like a mystery?”Mr. Wilson asked. “How did Abraham Lincoln 4 when he won the election (选举)?” said Sheila. “I think he was happy,” I replied. “He was probably worried,” said Molly. “Because he knew what 5 were coming.” Even Matt 6 his hand.

In 2001, archaeologists (考古学家), found the remains of another ancient city called Jinsha near Chengdu. They found a gold crown with similar engraved pattern (纹饰) of fish, arrows and birds to other golden objects found at Sanxingdui. For this reason, some scholars believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha. But it remains a mystery. Here are some clues that might help find the facts. In 1099 BC, ancient writers recorded an earthquake in the capital of the Zhou Dynasty (朝代), in present-day Shaanxi Province. Though that area is about 400 kilometres from the historic site of Sanxingdui, it is possible that the centre of the earthquake was actually close to Sanxingdui. Around the same time, the layers of dirt show that there was possibly a great flood (洪水). In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu (《蜀王本纪》), it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain in a spot, which suggests the river flowing in a new direction. Together, the ideas lead people to believe that possibly a large earthquake caused a landslide that dammed (拦住) the river. This changed its path and stopped the water from flowing to Sanxingdui. That may have forced the ancient Chinese people to leave their homes to move closer to the river’s new path. Living near water was very important at that time. The people had to get water from the river and carry it to their homes to drink, cook and wash. Although these clues help explain why the ancient Shu people moved from Sanxingdui to Jinsha, the real truth is still unclear. We need more research to find solid evidence. Sanxingdui and Jinsha are treasures of ancient Shu civilization, showing the great wisdom of ancient Chinese people. With further study, more secrets of this wonderful civilization will be uncovered step by step. 1．When was Sanxingdui first found? A．In 1929. B．In 1986. C．In 2001. D．In 1099. 2．The underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refers to ________. A．how Jinsha remains were found B．why Sanxingdui’s discovery matters C．how the ancients made beautiful objects D．why people in Sanxingdui moved to Jinsha 3．What record in the Han Dynasty book has helped to solve this mystery? A．Floods poured from a mountain. B．The ancients moved to the river. C．There were similar golden objects. D．An earthquake hit near Sanxingdui. 4．What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A．Jinsha was built before Sanxingdui. B．Earthquakes hit Sanxingdui many times. C．Water was not important for the ancients. D．Sanxingdui and Jinsha shared the same culture. 5．In which book can we read this passage? A．Famous Rivers in History. B．Unsolved Mysteries of the World. C．History of Ancient Chinese Art. D．A Guide to Sichuan’s Natural Wonders. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了三星堆遗址的发现、其与金沙遗址可能存在的联系，以及关于三星堆人迁徙至金沙原因的推测，包括地震、洪水等线索，同时强调三星堆和金沙是古蜀文明的瑰宝，有待进一步研究揭示更多秘密。 【详解】1．第一段提到：“In 1929, Sanxingdui was first found in Southwest China’s Sichuan province”，说明三星堆首次被发现是在1929年。 2．第二段提到：“For this reason, some scholars believe that the people from Sanxingdui may have moved their homes to Jinsha. But it remains a mystery.”，结合前文可知，这里的“it”指的是三星堆的人为什么搬到金沙这件事。 3．第五段提到：“In the Han Dynasty book The Chronicles of the Kings of Shu (《蜀王本纪》), it is written that ancient floods poured from a mountain in a spot, which suggests the river flowing in a new direction.”，说明《蜀王本纪》中记录的洪水从山上倾泻而下，暗示河流流向改变，这一记录有助于解开三星堆人迁徙的谜团。 4．第二段提到：“They found a gold crown with similar engraved pattern (纹饰) of fish, arrows and birds to other golden objects found at Sanxingdui.”，说明三星堆和金沙遗址出土的金色物品有相似的纹饰，由此可推断出三星堆和金沙共享相同的文化。 5．文章主要围绕三星堆和金沙遗址的未解之谜展开，包括三星堆人迁徙的原因等，所以最有可能在《世界未解之谜》这本书中读到这篇文章 3、 阅读与表达 （2026年甘肃省天水市中考英语试题） Welcome to Gansu Dear exchange students, welcome to our school!
