They used 3D printers to create mini 3D-printed model villages which were designed (设计) for homeless people. The students got the idea from a company called Icon, which makes homes with 3D printers. They want to make cheap housing for everyone. Icon’s homes are made of concrete-like (混凝土类) materials, which are very cheap. And building these homes just takes a few days. Allison McDonald is the science teacher and the director of the sixth-grade project. She said “Through the project, the students not only learned about invention and teamwork, but they also learned to understand the real needs of homeless people.” While creating their mini 3D buildings the students explored (探索) how such technology allows the freedom of design and how to better use the technology in daily life. They said getting the details (细节) correct before printing was hard. Putting a lot of thought into their communities, they made houses, stores, and schools. Besides, they also made churches, health centers, community gardens, theaters and even bus stops to make the people who will live there get a sense of belonging (归属感). Amber Fogarty is the president of Mobile Loaves & Fishes. It is an organization (组织) in Austin, Texas and provides homes for people in need for free. After learning about the students’ project, Amber said, “Both the project and the students are excellent! Imagine the possibilities. How can you use your brains and hearts to solve problems?

A company in the Netherlands has made a pair of shoes that never smell bad. The secret is a special material inside the shoe that kills bacteria with the help of sunlight. The material is called “sun-activated foam”. When ultraviolet light from the sun hits the foam, it produces a small amount of oxygen that kills the bacteria causing bad smells. The more sunlight the shoes get, the cleaner they become. “You just need to leave them in the sun for a few hours,” said the designer. The company got the idea from a kind of paint used in hospitals. That paint can clean itself under light. After years of testing, scientists finally made the material soft enough to put inside shoes. Each pair now costs about 150 euros, which is more expensive than normal shoes, but the company says they last much longer. Some people wonder if the shoes will still work on cloudy days. The answer is yes—any light, even from a window, can start the cleaning process, though sunlight works best. The company hopes that in the future, the same material can be used in clothes, sofas and even hospital beds. 1．What is the special material inside the shoes used for? A．Making the shoes lighter.

However, once a spacecraft leaves Earth, many rules about travelling may stop working. Now forget all that. Let’s begin our training!1. To Go Faster, Go Farther To get from point a to b, a spacecraft doesn’t always travel straight in space. That —1— is because of the strong force of huge objects around it. The force pulls it into a curved orbit (弯曲的轨道). In theory, a spacecraft could fly straight all the time, but this would require too much fuel (燃料) to offset (抵消) the force. Luckily, there is a better way. By following a long curved orbit, a spacecraft can use the force to reach the destination. Although the trip is longer, the spacecraft uses less fuel and arrives sooner. 2. To Go Forward, Look Backward This sounds really strange On Earth, we —2— usually travel by watching the road ahead. We change our speed or direction according to how close we are to the final position. But in space, it is just the opposite. Most spacecraft never “see” where they’re going or where they will arrive. For example, a spacecraft doesn’t see the Moon or other planets getting close. How does it know whether to go forward or not? A spacecraft can tell its position by knowing the distance it has travelled from —3— where it started. The starting point is usually Earth. 3. ▲ We can use a signal (信号) travelling at light-speed to check the speed. A spacecraft sends a signal to Earth. By timing how long the signal takes to travel from the spacecraft to Earth and then go back to the spacecraft, we can work out the speed. Your training is complete. Good luck! —4— 1．What can we know about a spacecraft from Part 1 “To Go Faster, Go Farther”? A．It goes a shorter way to arrive sooner. B．The force from Earth decides its orbit. C．Flying in curved orbit is a better way. D．It uses less fuel to fly straight in space. 2．What does the underlined word “destination” mean? A．Something that provides more fuel. B．A place where someone is going. C．Something that people hope to achieve. D．A road that people take to reach a place. 3．Why does a spacecraft look backward when travelling in space? A．To know how far it has travelled. B．To remember the way it has flown. C．To find out where other planets are. D．To take a look at our beautiful Earth. 4．Which can be put in ▲ ? A．To Return to Earth, Send a Signal B．To Check Speed, Time a Signal C．To Know Speed, Go Back to Earth D．To Go Faster, Move at Light-speed 5．What’s the purpose of the training book? A．To show different parts in a spacecraft. B．To remind people of the danger in space. C．To introduce basic facts about space travel. D．To describe key steps in designing a spacecraft. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了航天器在太空航行时的几条基础航行知识与训练内容。 1．根据第1部分中“By following a long curved orbit, a spacecraft can use the force to reach the destination. Although the trip is longer, the spacecraft uses less fuel and arrives sooner.”可知，虽然沿弯曲轨道飞行的路程更长，但是航天器消耗更少的燃料，还可以更快抵达目标，所以沿着弯曲轨道飞行是一种更好的航行方式。 2．根据第1部分中“In theory, a spacecraft could fly straight all the time, but this would require too much fuel to offset the force. Luckily, there is a better way. By following a long curved orbit, a spacecraft can use the force to reach the destination.”可知，航天器选择弯曲轨道的最终目的就是飞到自己计划去往的位置，由此可以判断destination代表某人将要前往的地点。 3．根据第2部分中“A spacecraft can tell its position by knowing the distance it has travelled from where it started.”可知，航天器在太空中无法看见前方道路，它只能依靠自己距离起点的路程，来判断自身所处的位置以及已经飞行了多远，所以它要回顾自己走过的路程。 4．根据第3部分中“We can use a signal travelling at light‑speed to check the speed. A spacecraft sends a signal to Earth. By timing how long the signal takes to travel from the spacecraft to Earth and then go back to the spacecraft, we can work out the speed.”可知，本段完整介绍了航天器向地球发射信号，通过测算信号往返花费的时长，进而计算出航天器飞行速度的方法，因此小标题选“To Check Speed, Time a Signal”最为合适。 5．通读全文可知，整篇文章分别从提速远航、向前航行向后观测、借助信号测速三个板块讲解太空航行的原理，属于太空旅行相关的科普知识，由此可知这份训练手册的写作目的就是介绍有关太空旅行的基础事实与常识。 Passage 2 ① On a clear night, if you look up at the sky for about 10 minutes, you may see a small point of light moving slowly among the stars. That is not a star—it is probably a satellite circling the Earth. Today, more than 9,000 man-made satellites are flying above our heads. ② Satellites are easy to understand. People send orders from the ground to the satellite. Solar panels on the satellite turn sunlight into electricity. By using this electricity, the satellite can talk to the Earth, take photos, or show us the weather from far away. ③ Satellites can finish hard and useful jobs in a fast and safe way. ④ After a big flood, satellites can fly over the clouds to find which villages are in danger. Driving there by car may take many hours, but a satellite gives the information within just a few minutes. ⑤ For farmers, satellites can show where the ground is too dry or where bugs are eating the crops. At night, satellites with special cameras can easily find a forest fire in the dark. ⑥ Satellites also help everyday life. For example, when you use a map on your phone to find the way to school, that map is made better by satellites. They also help coaches see where their players run during a football game. ⑦ In a word, satellites have been widely used in communication, weather forecasting, farming, rescue and more, with new uses on the way. ⑧ As satellites are cheaper, smaller and more helpful than before, they have become an important driving force for the growth of the space economy. Besides big groups like CNSA and ESA, more small companies have appeared. At the end of 2025, there were about 10,000 registered satellites around the world. The satellite industry is believed to be full of opportunities. 31．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To tell a story. B．To lead into the subject. C．To compare two stars. D．To introduce a festival. 32．How do satellites get electricity? A．From the wind. B．From solar panels. C．From the ground directly. D．From burning fuel. 33．What does the underlined word “rescue” in Paragraph 7 mean? A．救援 B．训练 C．比赛 D．建造 34． Which shows the structure? A．①/②/③④⑤/⑥⑦/⑧ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥/⑦⑧ C．①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦/⑧ D．①/②/③④⑤⑥/⑦/⑧ 35．What can we infer from the passage? A．Satellites are only for fun. B．Satellites make space economy grow. C．Satellites are hard for common people to use. D．Satellites can only take photos. 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了人造卫星的工作原理、多种用途（如救援、农业、日常生活）以及对太空经济的推动作用。 1．根据文章第1段“On a clear night, if you look up at the sky for about 10 minutes, you may see a small point of light moving slowly among the stars.”可知，作者通过描述夜空现象引出卫星这一主题，起到引入话题的作用。 2．根据文章第2段“Solar panels on the satellite turn sunlight into electricity.”可知，卫星通过太阳能板将阳光转化为电力来获取电能。 3．根据文章第4段“After a big flood, satellites can fly over the clouds to find which villages are in danger.”及第7段语境可推知，卫星在洪水后寻找危险村庄，属于救援工作，rescue对应中文“救援”。 4．第①段引入卫星话题；第②段介绍卫星的基本工作原理；第③—⑥段介绍卫星的各类功能与应用场景；第⑦段总结卫星的广泛应用领域；第⑧段介绍卫星产业的发展前景，对应选项D的结构划分。 5．根据文章第8段“they have become an important driving force for the growth of space economy.”可知，卫星推动了太空经济的增长。 Passage 3 As Earth’s neighbor, Mars has a similar environment to Earth. For years, humans have been exploring the Red Planet and hope to live on it one day. On July 23,2020, China launched its first Mars probe (探测器). It is called Tianwen-1. The name comes from the poem Tianwen. Qu Yuan, a famous poet of the Warring States Period wrote it. The probe landed on the surface of Mars on May 15, 2021. China is the second country in the world to make it. It was a great success. ________ As we know, Mars is very far from Earth. Every 26 months, Mars is closest to Earth. This is the best time to launch a Mars probe. Doing this can save energy, time and money. If we don’t launch the probe in 2020, we’ll have to wait another two years. A probe has to fly a very long way before landing on Mars. Because the signal from Earth is weak, the lander has to land by itself. “Each step had only one chance. If there was any mistake, the landing would fail,” Geng Yan, an official from the China National Space Administration said. The Mars probe has three parts—the orbiter (轨道飞行器), the lander and the rover. Within a week after the landing, the Mars rover, Zhurong, will begin working. Zhurong is named after the god of fire in ancient Chinese stories. It is the sixth rover on Mars, following five others launched by the United States. If everything goes well, Zhurong will work for at least three months and carry out scientific studies on Mars like taking pictures and videos of Mars, finding out if there is any water or ice under the surface of Mars and checking the temperature or climate on it. “A larger probe will set off for the planet sometime around 2030 to take samples and return them to Earth,” a CNSA official said. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Qu Yuan named Chinese first Mars probe Tianwen-1. B．Tianwen was a famous poet of the Warring States Period. C．Tianwen-1 flew for about 10 months before landing on Mars. D．It is the second time for Chinese Mars probes to land on Mars. 2．Which sentence can be best put into ________ in Paragraph 3? A．How does China launch the Mars probe? B．Where does the name Tianwen-1 come from? C．Why was 2020 chosen? D．Who launched the probe in 2020? 3．What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．A Chinese story. B．The rover Zhurong. C．The god of fire. D．Tianwen-1. 4．The following statements are true except ________. A．the rover is part of a Mars probe B．it is difficult for a probe to land on Mars C．six rovers have landed on Mars successfully so far D．Tianwen-1 will take samples from Mars back to Earth 5．Why do human beings keep exploring Mars? A．It is a big and red planet. B．It is Earth’s nearest neighbor. C．It has a good living environment. D．It may be another home for humans. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 5．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国首次火星探测任务天问一号的发射背景、着陆难度、探测器结构以及祝融号火星车的任务，并提及了未来火星取样返回的计划，展现了人类对火星探索的持续关注。 1．第二段指出：“On July 23, 2020, China launched its first Mars probe…The probe landed on the surface of Mars on May 15, 2021.”，从2020年7月到2021年5月历时约10个月，这直接说明天问一号在着陆火星前飞行了约10个月。 2．第三段说明了火星与地球的距离、每26个月火星离地球最近一次、2020年是最佳发射窗口以及错过需再等两年等内容，这直接说明该段是在解释为什么选择2020年发射火星探测器。 3．第五段指出：“Zhurong is named after the god of fire in ancient Chinese stories. It is the sixth rover on Mars…”，结合上下文逻辑，It指代前一句的主语Zhurong，即祝融号火星车。 4．最后一段说明：“A larger probe will set off for the planet sometime around 2030 to take samples and return them to Earth”，这直接说明取样返回地球是2030年左右更大探测器的任务，而非天问一号。 5．第一段指出：“As Earth’s neighbor, Mars has a similar environment to Earth. For years, humans have been exploring the Red Planet and hope to live on it one day.”，这直接说明人类持续探索火星是因为希望有一天能在上面生活，即它可能成为人类的另一个家园。 话题3 音乐与舞蹈（共2篇） Passage 1 （25-26年山东威海九年级期中考试） There are many kinds of music in the world, such as pop music, classical music and folk music. Do you know country music? It’s a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. I like it very much! It will take me away for a while when I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields. Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It’s like the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death. The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America. John Denver was one of the most famous country singers in America in the 1970s. His song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is well-known and people still play it today. 1．Country music developed ________. A．in John Denver’s city B．in the northern United States C．in the southern United States 2．Country music is usually about ________. A．everyday life and feelings B．workers’ feelings C．the lives of workers 3．People began to make country song records ________. A．in 1920 B．in the 1920s C．in the 1970s 4．Why did country music become popular in America? A．Because city people liked the music. B．Because farmers moved to cities with their music and it continued to change. C．Because country music talked about city people’s lives. 5．Who is famous for the song “Take Me Home, Country Roads”? A．A farmer in the countryside. B．A person who moved to towns. C．John Denver. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了乡村音乐的起源、主题、发展历程以及知名乡村歌手John Denver。 1．根据文章第二段“Country music developed in the southern United States.”可知乡村音乐起源于美国南部。 2．根据文章第二段“Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings.”可知乡村音乐通常是关于日常生活和情感的。 3．根据文章第二段“In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.”可知在20世纪20年代，人们开始制作乡村音乐唱片。 4．根据文章第三段“When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them.

The symphony (交响乐) developed in this period. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were two of the most famous composers. Mozart was a talented composer and performed all over Europe at the age of six. He wrote the famous opera The Magic Flute. The German composer Beethoven was completely deaf for the last 10 years of his life but he continued to compose some of the greatest music in the world. Symphony No. 9 is one of them. His late works moved toward the Romantic movement. ROMANTIC MOVEMENT From about 1820, composers started using new harmonies (和声) and forms to create music full of different emotions. Composers cared more about creating dramas, painting pictures in sound, or telling stories. The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music. He wrote many well-known works, including the famous Overture 1812. MODERN MUSIC In the 20th century, there were great changes in serious music. The music composed by Stravinsky was difficult for people to understand. Stravinsky’s The Firebird caused a sensation at its first performance in Paris in 1910. It was a big success. The music was so different and powerful that it made the young composer famous across Europe. The German Stockhausen challenged listeners’ ideas about music. In Zyklus, for example, he let the drummer start playing from any page of the music, and then play it in their own order. COMPUTER COMPOSITION Computers can help composers write music. The composer can use an electronic instrument to enter the melodies into the computer, where they can be stored, changed, and printed out. 1．According to the passage, what information can be put on the timeline? A．The Firebird; Mozart B．Symphony No. 9; Stravinsky C．The Magic Flute; Chopin D．Symphony No. 9; Stockhausen 2．What do you know about Tchaikovsky and his music? A．His music is always happy. B．He composed worse when he was sad. C．His personal feelings influenced his music. D．He only composed music about his own life. 3．What does the phrase “caused a sensation” mean according to the passage? A．It was forgotten at once. B．It was a piece of modern music. C．Everyone found it easy to understand. D．It created great excitement and surprise. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．All Beethoven’s works belonged to the Classical Era. B．Romantic music paid little attention to composers’ emotions. C．Modern music broke the traditional ways of music creation. D．Computers can write music without composers’ help. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Great Composers B．Composers’ Role in Music C．A Brief History of Musical Styles D．How Composers Create Music 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．D 4．C 5．C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了古典、浪漫、现代、电脑作曲四个音乐发展阶段，各阶段分别介绍时代特点、代表作曲家及经典作品。 1．文中“CLASSICAL ERA”段落提到：“Symphony No. 9 is one of them.”，Symphony No.9是贝多芬的作品；MODERN MUSIC段落提到“In Zyklus, for example, he let the drummer start playing from any page of the music”，Zyklus的创作者是Stockhausen，对应时间轴①贝多芬代表作Symphony No.9、②Zyklus创作者Stockhausen，因此选D。 2．文中“ROMANTIC MOVEMENT”段落写明：“The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music.”，说明他个人的情绪、生活感受影响了他的音乐创作，因此选C。 3．文中“MODERN MUSIC”段落描述“Stravinsky’s The Firebird caused a sensation at its first performance in Paris in 1910.

But for 14-year-old Li Jia, sports are the best teacher in her growth. Li Jia is a member of the school swimming team. She started learning swimming at the age of 8. At first, she swam just for fun. As she kept training, she found swimming was far more than a sport. Swimming training is hard and tiring. Every day, she has to train for two hours after school. She often feels exhausted and wants to stop, but she never gives up. Last year, she took part in a city swimming competition. Before the match, she had a bad cold and felt weak. Her parents advised her to give up, but she refused. She said the team had prepared for the competition for months, and she couldn’t let her teammates down. During the match, she insisted on finishing every stroke. Though she only got the fourth place, she won high praise from her coach and teammates. “Swimming teaches me perseverance and responsibility,” Li Jia said. “In the pool, you can only depend on yourself to keep going. It makes me braver to face difficulties in study and life. Also, team training lets me understand the meaning of cooperation and mutual support.” Now Li Jia is more confident and positive than before. She does well in her study and gets on well with classmates. She believes that the sports spirit she has learned will benefit her for a lifetime. 1．How long has Li Jia learned swimming?

In China, that feeling is at the heart of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion and giving thanks for the harvest. For over 3,000 years, families have gathered under the moonlight, sharing stories while enjoying sweet mooncakes and fragrant osmanthus tea (桂花茶). But is this ancient tradition still important in our modern world? Absolutely! While the core (核心的) value of family love remains unchanged, technology has given it a new life. Imagine a grandmother in a village, smiling as she sees her grandson in a faraway city on a video call—it’s a digital reunion under the same moon. Creative e-greetings and mooncakes delivered by apps are now common, proving that the spirit of care can travel through screens. What’s even more exciting is a renewed interest in the festival among the youth. Beyond the delicious food, they are exploring the deeper beauty of the festival. Some organize poetry gatherings in parks, writing verses (诗歌) under the silver moonlight. Others dress in beautiful Hanfu, taking photos that look like ancient paintings come to life. This isn’t about rejecting (拒绝) the modern world; it’s about blending (混合) the old with the new to create something even more meaningful and exciting. So, the Mid-Autumn Festival is far from being an old tradition of the past. It is a lively, living tradition. It teaches us a beautiful lesson: the ways we celebrate may evolve (演变), but the warm human feelings of love, gratitude (感激), and hope are what truly light up the night, brighter than the moon itself. 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To explain how mooncakes are made. B．To describe the history of the festival. C．To introduce the festival’s atmosphere (氛围) and core spirit. D．To compare the Mid-Autumn Festival with Western holidays. 2．How does technology help people celebrate the festival today? A．It has replaced the need for family reunions. B．It provides new tools to show love and connect with families. C．It makes traditional mooncakes less popular. D．It focuses mainly on business and advertising. 3．The underlined word “lively” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”. A．old and forgotten B．full of life and energy C．strict and serious D．simple and easy 4．What does the example of young people writing poetry and wearing Hanfu show? A．They are not interested in modern technology. B．They are creating new ways to connect with traditional culture. C．They prefer ancient lifestyles to modern ones. D．They think the traditional ways of celebrating are boring. 5．What is the “beautiful lesson” that the festival teaches us according to the passage? A．The moon is the most important part of the festival. B．Mooncakes are the most delicious traditional food. C．Outer forms may change, but inner values last forever. D．Technology is more important than tradition. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕中秋节展开，介绍了其传统氛围与核心精神，阐述了科技为这一古老传统赋予的新活力，以及年轻人对中秋文化的创新传承，最终点明中秋庆祝形式虽变，但核心情感不变的主旨。 1．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“a time for family reunion and giving thanks for the harvest”和“families have gathered under the moonlight, sharing stories while enjoying sweet mooncakes and fragrant osmanthus tea”可知，本段既描述了家人月下相聚、品尝美食的中秋氛围，也点明了团圆、感恩丰收的核心精神，并未提及月饼制作方法、节日历史细节或与西方节日的对比。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…it’s a digital reunion under the same moon. Creative e-greetings and mooncakes delivered by apps are now common, proving that the spirit of care can travel through screens.”可知，科技通过视频通话、电子问候、APP 送月饼等新方式，帮助人们传递关爱、维系家庭联系，并非取代团圆、降低月饼热度或侧重商业广告。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据“So, the Mid-Autumn Festival is far from being an old tradition of the past. It is a lively, living tradition.”可知， 中秋节并非过时传统，而是仍有活力的文化传承，“lively”应体现“有活力”的含义，与“full of life and energy”意思最接近。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“they are exploring the deeper beauty of the festival”以及“This isn’t about rejecting (拒绝) the modern world; it’s about blending (混合) the old with the new to create something even”可知，年轻人通过写诗、穿汉服等方式，将传统与现代结合，创造新形式来亲近中秋文化，并非不关注科技、偏爱古代生活或觉得传统庆祝方式无聊。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据“the ways we celebrate may evolve (演变), but the warm human feelings of love, gratitude (感激), and hope are what truly light up the night, brighter than the moon itself.”可知，中秋的“美好启示”是庆祝形式（外在形式）可能演变，但爱、感恩等核心情感（内在价值）永恒，并非强调月亮、月饼的重要性或科技比传统更重要。故选C。 Passage 3 Dragon Boat Festival, one of the most important traditional festivals in China, falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The festival honors the poet of the Warring States Period who said, “When all the world in mud has sunk, Alone I’m clean; When all the people are drunk, Sober I’m seen.” He drowned himself in the Miluo River because of the corruption (腐败) of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating his body. They also used dragon boats with drums to scare them away. As a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, the dragon boat race is known as a traditional custom of the festival. Boats used in the race look like Chinese dragons. A team of people work together to row a dragon boat. When the race starts, rowers move in harmony, following the rapid drumbeats, aiming for the finish line. The winning team is said to bring luck and happiness to the people of their village. Zongzi is a must-eat food. Made of sticky rice and wrapped in reed (芦苇) or bamboo leaves, it comes in various shapes and fillings. People in northern China use red jujubes (枣), while southerners prefer beans, meat, or egg yolk (蛋黄). Besides, parents dress their children with perfume pouches. These small bags, sewn from colorful silk, are filled with special medicines. Hung around the neck or on clothes, they’re believed to keep evil spirits away. Many poets have also depicted (描绘) this festival custom in their verses. The famous poet Su Shi once wrote “The red jade army are lightly wrapped with colored threads, and the small runes hang on the green cloud servant girls.” The Dragon Boat Festival is full of meaning and fun. With its stories, races, food, and traditions, it’s truly special in Chinese culture. 1．Who is described in Para 2? A．Lao-Tzu. B．Qu Yuan. C．Confucius. D．Mencius. 2．What is the main significance (意义) of the Dragon Boat Race? A．To bring more fun during the Festival. B．To show people’s unity and bring good luck.

A．①②③④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①②④ 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．C 5．A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了中国传统节日端午节的习俗和历史起源。 1．细节理解题。根据“The festival honors the poet of the Warring States Period... He drowned himself in the Miluo River because of the corruption of the Chu government.”可知，该段描述的是战国时期投汨罗江的诗人屈原。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“A team of people work together to row a dragon boat... The winning team is said to bring luck and happiness to the people of their village.”可知，可知，赛龙舟能体现人们的团结，还能带来好运。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据“Zongzi is a must-eat food. Made of sticky rice and wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves”可知，粽子由糯米制成，用芦苇或竹叶“包裹”，故“wrap”意为“包裹”。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据“The famous poet Su Shi once wrote ‘The red jade army are lightly wrapped with colored threads, and the small runes hang on the green cloud servant girls.’”可知，苏轼的诗句翻译为 “彩线轻缠红玉臂，小符斜挂绿云鬟” ，对应选项C 。故选C。 5．细节理解题。文中提到的活动有彩线轻缠红玉臂（①对应）、赛龙舟（② 对应 ）、包粽子（③ 对应 ）、佩香囊（④ 对应 ），所以是①②③④ 。故选A。 话题6历史与考古（共2篇） Passage 1 Life in modern cities has more in common with that in ancient Rome than you might think. Fried chicken is a kind of popular fast food today, because it cooks fast in hot oil. It’s great for people who want meat without waiting. A study found ancient Romans did something similar. They often fried thrushes (small songbirds) and sold them on the streets. Pollentia is an ancient city on the island of Mallorca. Not long ago, scientists found something exciting on the island—a fast food stall from Roman times. Near the food stall is a 4-metre-deep waste pit (垃圾坑). Inside the pit, scientists found animal bones and other waste. One of the most surprising findings is the bones of thrushes. This shows that they were part of the Roman menu. Alejandro Valenzuela, the leader of the study, says the findings show how Romans used seasonal foods for quick meals. After studying the bird bones, scientists found there were many thrush skulls and breastbones (头骨和胸骨), but not many leg and wing bones. This suggests people cooked and ate the parts with more meat and threw the remains into the pit. Historical records also show that some people caught birds and sold them to vendors. The vendors then cooked and sold them in stalls. Besides thrushes, the pit had bones from chickens and rabbits too. This shows the Roman menu was diverse, not just birds. So, ancient Romans were a lot like us — they loved quick, tasty meals too! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving some examples. B．By telling a historical story. C．By explaining the meaning of “fast food”. D．By comparing modern fast food with ancient Roman food. 2．What did scientists find in the waste pit? A．Ancient menus. B．Tools for frying food. C．Recipes for Roman dishes. D．Bones of thrushes and other animals. 3．Why were there not many thrush leg and wing bones in the pit? A．People sold them. B．People ate those parts. C．They broke down quickly. D．People used them for medicine. 4．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Bones. B．Birds. C．Records. D．Scientists. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Fried food first appeared in ancient Rome. B．Ancient Romans lived in cities similar to modern ones. C．Thrushes were the most popular food in ancient Rome. D．Ancient Romans also loved quick and tasty meals like modern people. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章对比现代快餐与古罗马饮食，借助马略卡岛出土的罗马小吃摊遗迹，证明古罗马人也喜爱便捷美味的油炸快餐。 1．第一段首先提到现代流行的快餐炸鸡（Fried chicken），接着指出研究发现古罗马人也有类似的做法（fried thrushes）。作者是通过对比现代快餐与古罗马食物来引入话题的。 2．第二段中“Inside the pit, scientists found animal bones… One of the most surprising findings is the bones of thrushes.”以及第四段“Besides thrushes, the pit had bones from chickens and rabbits too.”可知，科学家在垃圾坑中发现了画眉鸟以及其他动物（鸡、兔子）的骨头。 3．第三段“After studying the bird bones, scientists found there were many thrush skulls and breastbones, but not many leg and wing bones.”可知坑里有很多头骨和胸骨，但腿骨和翼骨很少。文中接着解释“This suggests people cooked and ate the parts with more meat…”，暗示肉多的部分（如腿和翅膀）被人们吃掉了，所以剩下的骨头较少。 4．划线词所在句的前文“some people caught birds and sold them to vendors”可知，人们捕捉的是鸟，卖给商贩后，商贩烹饪并出售的自然也是这些“鸟”。 5．最后一句总结道“So, ancient Romans were a lot like us — they loved quick, tasty meals too!”，说明古罗马人也像现代人一样喜欢快速且美味的食物。 Passage 2 The new building of the Yinxu Museum at the Yinxu Ruins, the site of the capital of the Shang Dynasty, opened to the public on February 26th, 2024.

Imagine if you were at your lowest point right now. Would you still believe in yourself enough to stand back up? A player who created a miracle comeback, Zheng Qinwen, might say yes. In September 2026, a tennis match in New York surprised the world and reintroduced an outstanding player to us. When she came up against her opponent, the six‑time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek, Zheng was facing a tough challenge, trailing 0‑5. However, she didn’t give up. Instead, she focused on every single point and won seven games in a row, fighting back to 7‑5. Finally, she successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the US Open. Actually, the road back to the top is never easy. After the 2024 Olympics, she suffered a terrible injury, which forced her to withdraw from the 2025 season. After a period of rest and recovery, she picked up her racket again and made her return to the court. Though she experienced ups and downs, she always believed that she would succeed one day. In conclusion, Zheng’s story tells us that the best way to return to the top is to improve our professional skills to the maximum and have a strong heart.

They used 3D printers to create mini 3D-printed model villages which were designed (设计) for homeless people. The students got the idea from a company called Icon, which makes homes with 3D printers. They want to make cheap housing for everyone. Icon’s homes are made of concrete-like (混凝土类) materials, which are very cheap. And building these homes just takes a few days. Allison McDonald is the science teacher and the director of the sixth-grade project. She said “Through the project, the students not only learned about invention and teamwork, but they also learned to understand the real needs of homeless people.” While creating their mini 3D buildings the students explored (探索) how such technology allows the freedom of design and how to better use the technology in daily life. They said getting the details (细节) correct before printing was hard. Putting a lot of thought into their communities, they made houses, stores, and schools. Besides, they also made churches, health centers, community gardens, theaters and even bus stops to make the people who will live there get a sense of belonging (归属感). Amber Fogarty is the president of Mobile Loaves & Fishes. It is an organization (组织) in Austin, Texas and provides homes for people in need for free. After learning about the students’ project, Amber said, “Both the project and the students are excellent! Imagine the possibilities. How can you use your brains and hearts to solve problems?

Passage 2 Have you ever wished your smartwatch battery lasted longer? Or that your fitness tracker could bend and stretch with your body? Traditional rigid batteries are like annoying roadblocks. They’re too big, can’t change shape, and limit what cool gadgets we can create. But what if I told you scientists made a battery that’s as squishy as toothpaste? That’s right—the “toothpaste battery” is here to change everything! Scientists at Linköping University in Sweden had an amazing idea. They turned battery parts into a liquid, so it can be 3D printed into any shape. This flexible battery works even when stretched to twice its size and can be charged over 500 times. Imagine clothes that power themselves or health patches that stick right to your skin. These "toothpaste batteries" could make those sci-fi ideas real, especially for tiny devices in the Internet of Things. Think about all the new possibilities! We might see robots that move like animals or watches that wrap around our wrists like bracelets. As more devices get smarter, these flexible batteries will help designers create things we’ve only dreamed of. Who knows—maybe one day you’ll design the next big invention powered by a squishy battery! 1．What is the “toothpaste battery” like? A．It looks like a smartwatch. B．It is as squishy as toothpaste.

Could you imagine wearing the same pair of shoes for a whole year without washing them? A company in the Netherlands has made a pair of shoes that never smell bad. The secret is a special material inside the shoe that kills bacteria with the help of sunlight. The material is called “sun-activated foam”. When ultraviolet light from the sun hits the foam, it produces a small amount of oxygen that kills the bacteria causing bad smells. The more sunlight the shoes get, the cleaner they become. “You just need to leave them in the sun for a few hours,” said the designer. The company got the idea from a kind of paint used in hospitals. That paint can clean itself under light. After years of testing, scientists finally made the material soft enough to put inside shoes. Each pair now costs about 150 euros, which is more expensive than normal shoes, but the company says they last much longer. Some people wonder if the shoes will still work on cloudy days. The answer is yes—any light, even from a window, can start the cleaning process, though sunlight works best. The company hopes that in the future, the same material can be used in clothes, sofas and even hospital beds. 1．What is the special material inside the shoes used for? A．Making the shoes lighter. B．Killing bacteria and bad smells. C．Keeping the feet warm. D．Changing the colour of shoes. 2．When does the “sun-activated foam” work? A．Only on sunny days. B．When it is washed with water. C．When light hits it. D．After it is put in the fridge. 3．Where did the company get the idea for the material? A．From a hospital paint. B．From a kind of soap. C．From the sun. D．From another shoe company. 4．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Normal shoes. B．The scientists. C．The special shoes. D．Hospitals. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．How to Clean Your Shoes Quickly B．The Most Expensive Shoes in the World C．A New Material That Cleans Itself D．Why Sunlight Is Good for Health 话题2 航天与航空（共3篇） Passage 1 （26年青岛中考真题） Space Traveller’s Training Book As you know, a straight line is the shortest distance (距离) between two points, and you should always watch where you are going. However, once a spacecraft leaves Earth, many rules about travelling may stop working. Now forget all that. Let’s begin our training!1. To Go Faster, Go Farther To get from point a to b, a spacecraft doesn’t always travel straight in space. That —1— is because of the strong force of huge objects around it. The force pulls it into a curved orbit (弯曲的轨道). In theory, a spacecraft could fly straight all the time, but this would require too much fuel (燃料) to offset (抵消) the force. Luckily, there is a better way. By following a long curved orbit, a spacecraft can use the force to reach the destination. Although the trip is longer, the spacecraft uses less fuel and arrives sooner. 2. To Go Forward, Look Backward This sounds really strange On Earth, we —2— usually travel by watching the road ahead. We change our speed or direction according to how close we are to the final position. But in space, it is just the opposite. Most spacecraft never “see” where they’re going or where they will arrive. For example, a spacecraft doesn’t see the Moon or other planets getting close. How does it know whether to go forward or not? A spacecraft can tell its position by knowing the distance it has travelled from —3— where it started. The starting point is usually Earth. 3. ▲ We can use a signal (信号) travelling at light-speed to check the speed. A spacecraft sends a signal to Earth. By timing how long the signal takes to travel from the spacecraft to Earth and then go back to the spacecraft, we can work out the speed. Your training is complete. Good luck! —4— 1．What can we know about a spacecraft from Part 1 “To Go Faster, Go Farther”? A．It goes a shorter way to arrive sooner. B．The force from Earth decides its orbit. C．Flying in curved orbit is a better way. D．It uses less fuel to fly straight in space. 2．What does the underlined word “destination” mean? A．Something that provides more fuel. B．A place where someone is going. C．Something that people hope to achieve. D．A road that people take to reach a place. 3．Why does a spacecraft look backward when travelling in space? A．To know how far it has travelled. B．To remember the way it has flown. C．To find out where other planets are. D．To take a look at our beautiful Earth. 4．Which can be put in ▲ ? A．To Return to Earth, Send a Signal B．To Check Speed, Time a Signal C．To Know Speed, Go Back to Earth D．To Go Faster, Move at Light-speed 5．What’s the purpose of the training book? A．To show different parts in a spacecraft. B．To remind people of the danger in space. C．To introduce basic facts about space travel. D．To describe key steps in designing a spacecraft. Passage 2 ① On a clear night, if you look up at the sky for about 10 minutes, you may see a small point of light moving slowly among the stars. That is not a star—it is probably a satellite circling the Earth. Today, more than 9,000 man-made satellites are flying above our heads. ② Satellites are easy to understand. People send orders from the ground to the satellite. Solar panels on the satellite turn sunlight into electricity. By using this electricity, the satellite can talk to the Earth, take photos, or show us the weather from far away. ③ Satellites can finish hard and useful jobs in a fast and safe way. ④ After a big flood, satellites can fly over the clouds to find which villages are in danger. Driving there by car may take many hours, but a satellite gives the information within just a few minutes. ⑤ For farmers, satellites can show where the ground is too dry or where bugs are eating the crops. At night, satellites with special cameras can easily find a forest fire in the dark. ⑥ Satellites also help everyday life. For example, when you use a map on your phone to find the way to school, that map is made better by satellites. They also help coaches see where their players run during a football game. ⑦ In a word, satellites have been widely used in communication, weather forecasting, farming, rescue and more, with new uses on the way. ⑧ As satellites are cheaper, smaller and more helpful than before, they have become an important driving force for the growth of the space economy. Besides big groups like CNSA and ESA, more small companies have appeared. At the end of 2025, there were about 10,000 registered satellites around the world. The satellite industry is believed to be full of opportunities. 31．What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A．To tell a story. B．To lead into the subject. C．To compare two stars. D．To introduce a festival. 32．How do satellites get electricity? A．From the wind. B．From solar panels. C．From the ground directly. D．From burning fuel. 33．What does the underlined word “rescue” in Paragraph 7 mean? A．救援 B．训练 C．比赛 D．建造 34． Which shows the structure? A．①/②/③④⑤/⑥⑦/⑧ B．①/②③④⑤/⑥/⑦⑧ C．①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦/⑧ D．①/②/③④⑤⑥/⑦/⑧ 35．What can we infer from the passage? A．Satellites are only for fun. B．Satellites make space economy grow. C．Satellites are hard for common people to use. D．Satellites can only take photos. Passage 3 As Earth’s neighbor, Mars has a similar environment to Earth. For years, humans have been exploring the Red Planet and hope to live on it one day. On July 23,2020, China launched its first Mars probe (探测器). It is called Tianwen-1. The name comes from the poem Tianwen. Qu Yuan, a famous poet of the Warring States Period wrote it. The probe landed on the surface of Mars on May 15, 2021. China is the second country in the world to make it. It was a great success. ________ As we know, Mars is very far from Earth. Every 26 months, Mars is closest to Earth. This is the best time to launch a Mars probe. Doing this can save energy, time and money. If we don’t launch the probe in 2020, we’ll have to wait another two years. A probe has to fly a very long way before landing on Mars. Because the signal from Earth is weak, the lander has to land by itself. “Each step had only one chance. If there was any mistake, the landing would fail,” Geng Yan, an official from the China National Space Administration said. The Mars probe has three parts—the orbiter (轨道飞行器), the lander and the rover. Within a week after the landing, the Mars rover, Zhurong, will begin working. Zhurong is named after the god of fire in ancient Chinese stories. It is the sixth rover on Mars, following five others launched by the United States. If everything goes well, Zhurong will work for at least three months and carry out scientific studies on Mars like taking pictures and videos of Mars, finding out if there is any water or ice under the surface of Mars and checking the temperature or climate on it. “A larger probe will set off for the planet sometime around 2030 to take samples and return them to Earth,” a CNSA official said. 1．What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A．Qu Yuan named Chinese first Mars probe Tianwen-1. B．Tianwen was a famous poet of the Warring States Period. C．Tianwen-1 flew for about 10 months before landing on Mars. D．It is the second time for Chinese Mars probes to land on Mars. 2．Which sentence can be best put into ________ in Paragraph 3? A．How does China launch the Mars probe? B．Where does the name Tianwen-1 come from? C．Why was 2020 chosen? D．Who launched the probe in 2020? 3．What does the underlined “It” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A．A Chinese story. B．The rover Zhurong. C．The god of fire. D．Tianwen-1. 4．The following statements are true except ________. A．the rover is part of a Mars probe B．it is difficult for a probe to land on Mars C．six rovers have landed on Mars successfully so far D．Tianwen-1 will take samples from Mars back to Earth 5．Why do human beings keep exploring Mars? A．It is a big and red planet. B．It is Earth’s nearest neighbor. C．It has a good living environment. D．It may be another home for humans. 话题3 音乐与舞蹈（共2篇） Passage 1 （25-26年山东威海九年级期中考试） There are many kinds of music in the world, such as pop music, classical music and folk music. Do you know country music? It’s a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. I like it very much! It will take me away for a while when I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields. Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It’s like the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death. The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records. When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America. John Denver was one of the most famous country singers in America in the 1970s. His song “Take Me Home, Country Roads” is well-known and people still play it today. 1．Country music developed ________. A．in John Denver’s city B．in the northern United States C．in the southern United States 2．Country music is usually about ________. A．everyday life and feelings B．workers’ feelings C．the lives of workers 3．People began to make country song records ________. A．in 1920 B．in the 1920s C．in the 1970s 4．Why did country music become popular in America? A．Because city people liked the music. B．Because farmers moved to cities with their music and it continued to change. C．Because country music talked about city people’s lives. 5．Who is famous for the song “Take Me Home, Country Roads”? A．A farmer in the countryside. B．A person who moved to towns. C．John Denver. Passage 2 CLASSICAL ERA The term “classical” is often used to tell the difference between serious music and popular music. The symphony (交响乐) developed in this period. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were two of the most famous composers. Mozart was a talented composer and performed all over Europe at the age of six. He wrote the famous opera The Magic Flute. The German composer Beethoven was completely deaf for the last 10 years of his life but he continued to compose some of the greatest music in the world. Symphony No. 9 is one of them. His late works moved toward the Romantic movement. ROMANTIC MOVEMENT From about 1820, composers started using new harmonies (和声) and forms to create music full of different emotions. Composers cared more about creating dramas, painting pictures in sound, or telling stories. The Russian composer Tchaikovsky was unhappy in his personal life, which brought great emotional depth to his music. He wrote many well-known works, including the famous Overture 1812. MODERN MUSIC In the 20th century, there were great changes in serious music. The music composed by Stravinsky was difficult for people to understand. Stravinsky’s The Firebird caused a sensation at its first performance in Paris in 1910. It was a big success. The music was so different and powerful that it made the young composer famous across Europe. The German Stockhausen challenged listeners’ ideas about music. In Zyklus, for example, he let the drummer start playing from any page of the music, and then play it in their own order. COMPUTER COMPOSITION Computers can help composers write music. The composer can use an electronic instrument to enter the melodies into the computer, where they can be stored, changed, and printed out. 1．According to the passage, what information can be put on the timeline? A．The Firebird; Mozart B．Symphony No. 9; Stravinsky C．The Magic Flute; Chopin D．Symphony No. 9; Stockhausen 2．What do you know about Tchaikovsky and his music? A．His music is always happy. B．He composed worse when he was sad. C．His personal feelings influenced his music. D．He only composed music about his own life. 3．What does the phrase “caused a sensation” mean according to the passage? A．It was forgotten at once. B．It was a piece of modern music. C．Everyone found it easy to understand. D．It created great excitement and surprise. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．All Beethoven’s works belonged to the Classical Era. B．Romantic music paid little attention to composers’ emotions. C．Modern music broke the traditional ways of music creation. D．Computers can write music without composers’ help. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Great Composers B．Composers’ Role in Music C．A Brief History of Musical Styles D．How Composers Create Music 话题4 体育精神（共4篇） Passage 1 （2025济南中考一模） 2022 World Cup Mascot (吉祥物)The mascot for Qatar World Cup is La’eeb—an Arabic word that means “super-skilled player”. La’eeb encourages everyone to believe in themselves and to get going now. It brings the joy of soccer to everyone! La’eeb was inspired by a traditional Arab headdress. See if you can find him at matches and on lots of posters, stickers and toys. 2024 Olympic MascotsThe mascots for the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics in Paris have been made public. They are called the Phryges, and their shapes are inspired by a type of traditional hat that is seen as a symbol of freedom in France.

Passage 2 For most people, sports are just physical activities for exercise or competition. But for 14-year-old Li Jia, sports are the best teacher in her growth. Li Jia is a member of the school swimming team. She started learning swimming at the age of 8. At first, she swam just for fun. As she kept training, she found swimming was far more than a sport. Swimming training is hard and tiring. Every day, she has to train for two hours after school. She often feels exhausted and wants to stop, but she never gives up. Last year, she took part in a city swimming competition. Before the match, she had a bad cold and felt weak. Her parents advised her to give up, but she refused. She said the team had prepared for the competition for months, and she couldn’t let her teammates down. During the match, she insisted on finishing every stroke. Though she only got the fourth place, she won high praise from her coach and teammates. “Swimming teaches me perseverance and responsibility,” Li Jia said. “In the pool, you can only depend on yourself to keep going. It makes me braver to face difficulties in study and life. Also, team training lets me understand the meaning of cooperation and mutual support.” Now Li Jia is more confident and positive than before. She does well in her study and gets on well with classmates. She believes that the sports spirit she has learned will benefit her for a lifetime. 1．How long has Li Jia learned swimming?

They are Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi and Chengcheng. Their names together mean “galloping forward （骐骥驰骋） ”, which perfectly matches the gala’s theme, “Unstoppable Momentum” （势不可挡）. Qiqi comes from the Li Ju Zun, a valuable Western Zhou artifact （文物）. With a blue-black coat, it looks serious and elegant. Wearing the head decoration “danglu” and tidy hair, Qiqi seems polite, energetic and full of hope for moving forward. Jiji is designed after Han Dynasty sky horses. Its body copies the national treasure Bronze Galloping Horse （铜奔马）. With wings spread wide, it seems to chase the sun through clouds, showing a spirit of trying hard to do better. Chichi is modeled on the Tang Dynasty Three-Flowered Horse. This kind of horse got its name because people cut its neck hair into three parts. Chichi looks lively and happy, and its tied-up tail makes it look brave and cool. It shows a confident and calm way of acting. Chengcheng is based on the Przewalski’s horse （普氏野马）, the only living wild horse species （物种） on Earth. China has the largest population of them, which is a big success in wildlife protection. Chengcheng represents harmony between humans and nature. In Chinese culture, horses stand for strength, bravery and good luck.

They will surely bring joy and good luck to everyone during the Spring Festival. 1．Where does the design of Jiji come from? A．The Przewalski’s horse. B．The sky horses of the Han Dynasty.

In China, that feeling is at the heart of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunion and giving thanks for the harvest. For over 3,000 years, families have gathered under the moonlight, sharing stories while enjoying sweet mooncakes and fragrant osmanthus tea (桂花茶). But is this ancient tradition still important in our modern world? Absolutely! While the core (核心的) value of family love remains unchanged, technology has given it a new life. Imagine a grandmother in a village, smiling as she sees her grandson in a faraway city on a video call—it’s a digital reunion under the same moon. Creative e-greetings and mooncakes delivered by apps are now common, proving that the spirit of care can travel through screens. What’s even more exciting is a renewed interest in the festival among the youth. Beyond the delicious food, they are exploring the deeper beauty of the festival. Some organize poetry gatherings in parks, writing verses (诗歌) under the silver moonlight. Others dress in beautiful Hanfu, taking photos that look like ancient paintings come to life. This isn’t about rejecting (拒绝) the modern world; it’s about blending (混合) the old with the new to create something even more meaningful and exciting. So, the Mid-Autumn Festival is far from being an old tradition of the past. It is a lively, living tradition. It teaches us a beautiful lesson: the ways we celebrate may evolve (演变), but the warm human feelings of love, gratitude (感激), and hope are what truly light up the night, brighter than the moon itself. 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To explain how mooncakes are made. B．To describe the history of the festival. C．To introduce the festival’s atmosphere (氛围) and core spirit. D．To compare the Mid-Autumn Festival with Western holidays. 2．How does technology help people celebrate the festival today? A．It has replaced the need for family reunions. B．It provides new tools to show love and connect with families. C．It makes traditional mooncakes less popular. D．It focuses mainly on business and advertising. 3．The underlined word “lively” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to “________”. A．old and forgotten B．full of life and energy C．strict and serious D．simple and easy 4．What does the example of young people writing poetry and wearing Hanfu show? A．They are not interested in modern technology. B．They are creating new ways to connect with traditional culture. C．They prefer ancient lifestyles to modern ones. D．They think the traditional ways of celebrating are boring. 5．What is the “beautiful lesson” that the festival teaches us according to the passage? A．The moon is the most important part of the festival. B．Mooncakes are the most delicious traditional food. C．Outer forms may change, but inner values last forever. D．Technology is more important than tradition. Passage 3 Dragon Boat Festival, one of the most important traditional festivals in China, falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The festival honors the poet of the Warring States Period who said, “When all the world in mud has sunk, Alone I’m clean; When all the people are drunk, Sober I’m seen.” He drowned himself in the Miluo River because of the corruption (腐败) of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating his body. They also used dragon boats with drums to scare them away. As a symbol of traditional Chinese culture, the dragon boat race is known as a traditional custom of the festival. Boats used in the race look like Chinese dragons. A team of people work together to row a dragon boat. When the race starts, rowers move in harmony, following the rapid drumbeats, aiming for the finish line. The winning team is said to bring luck and happiness to the people of their village. Zongzi is a must-eat food. Made of sticky rice and wrapped in reed (芦苇) or bamboo leaves, it comes in various shapes and fillings. People in northern China use red jujubes (枣), while southerners prefer beans, meat, or egg yolk (蛋黄). Besides, parents dress their children with perfume pouches. These small bags, sewn from colorful silk, are filled with special medicines. Hung around the neck or on clothes, they’re believed to keep evil spirits away. Many poets have also depicted (描绘) this festival custom in their verses. The famous poet Su Shi once wrote “The red jade army are lightly wrapped with colored threads, and the small runes hang on the green cloud servant girls.” The Dragon Boat Festival is full of meaning and fun. With its stories, races, food, and traditions, it’s truly special in Chinese culture. 1．Who is described in Para 2? A．Lao-Tzu. B．Qu Yuan. C．Confucius. D．Mencius. 2．What is the main significance (意义) of the Dragon Boat Race? A．To bring more fun during the Festival. B．To show people’s unity and bring good luck.

A．①②③④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①②④ 话题6历史与考古（共2篇） Passage 1 Life in modern cities has more in common with that in ancient Rome than you might think. Fried chicken is a kind of popular fast food today, because it cooks fast in hot oil. It’s great for people who want meat without waiting. A study found ancient Romans did something similar. They often fried thrushes (small songbirds) and sold them on the streets. Pollentia is an ancient city on the island of Mallorca. Not long ago, scientists found something exciting on the island—a fast food stall from Roman times. Near the food stall is a 4-metre-deep waste pit (垃圾坑). Inside the pit, scientists found animal bones and other waste. One of the most surprising findings is the bones of thrushes. This shows that they were part of the Roman menu. Alejandro Valenzuela, the leader of the study, says the findings show how Romans used seasonal foods for quick meals. After studying the bird bones, scientists found there were many thrush skulls and breastbones (头骨和胸骨), but not many leg and wing bones. This suggests people cooked and ate the parts with more meat and threw the remains into the pit. Historical records also show that some people caught birds and sold them to vendors. The vendors then cooked and sold them in stalls. Besides thrushes, the pit had bones from chickens and rabbits too. This shows the Roman menu was diverse, not just birds. So, ancient Romans were a lot like us — they loved quick, tasty meals too! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving some examples. B．By telling a historical story. C．By explaining the meaning of “fast food”. D．By comparing modern fast food with ancient Roman food. 2．What did scientists find in the waste pit? A．Ancient menus. B．Tools for frying food. C．Recipes for Roman dishes. D．Bones of thrushes and other animals. 3．Why were there not many thrush leg and wing bones in the pit? A．People sold them. B．People ate those parts. C．They broke down quickly. D．People used them for medicine. 4．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Bones. B．Birds. C．Records. D．Scientists. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Fried food first appeared in ancient Rome. B．Ancient Romans lived in cities similar to modern ones. C．Thrushes were the most popular food in ancient Rome. D．Ancient Romans also loved quick and tasty meals like modern people. Passage 2 The new building of the Yinxu Museum at the Yinxu Ruins, the site of the capital of the Shang Dynasty, opened to the public on February 26th, 2024.

Imagine if you were at your lowest point right now. Would you still believe in yourself enough to stand back up? A player who created a miracle comeback, Zheng Qinwen, might say yes. In September 2026, a tennis match in New York surprised the world and reintroduced an outstanding player to us. When she came up against her opponent, the six‑time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek, Zheng was facing a tough challenge, trailing 0‑5. However, she didn’t give up.
