2026-2027学年第一学期四年级英语限时训练2 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（阅读，共15小题，每题2分，共30分） A Do you like music? Have you ever listened to upbeat music—music that is happy or energetic—to cheer yourself up? Research has shown that music can have an effect on our mind. So, what is the science behind music? Researchers found that if people listen to upbeat music while trying to feel happier at the same time, they report feeling better. However, if people just listen to the music but don’t actively try to feel happier, they can’t feel better. And listening to slower, more serious music doesn’t help them feel any happier either. And there’s more. Researchers also found that listening to some classical music helps your brain focus and deal with information better. This is very useful when you’re studying. And many people report that simple and soft music can also help their brain stay focused. Why? The brain has two kinds of attention. One is conscious attention (有意注意) and the other is unconscious attention. While the conscious attention may be focused on work, the unconscious attention may have nothing to do, only looking for fun. Having music on in the background gives the unconscious attention something to focus on, which improves overall concentration (专注力). The power of music doesn’t stop there. If you have trouble falling asleep from time to time, music can also help. Research shows that the best music for this purpose has about sixty beats per minute—almost the same as a healthy, resting heart. Classical music is often around this speed. Any music that is soft and does not have sudden loud parts may be effective. People who have serious sleep problems may need to listen to this kind of music for several nights before they see results. 1. When can upbeat music help us feel happier according to paragraph 2? A. If we are also trying to feel happier. B. If we listen to upbeat music every day. C. If we mix upbeat music with serious music. 2. Why does some background music help improve concentration? A. It brings the brain a lot of fun. B. It gets the brain to work faster. C. It gives unconscious attention something to do. 3. How does the writer develop ideas in Paragraph 4? A. By telling stories. B. By using research findings. C. By making comparisons. B Now space exploration has become an important field for China these years. Our country keeps sending spaceships into space to learn more about the universe. On May 24, 2026, China sent Shenzhou-23 to space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center (酒泉卫星发射中心). Three astronauts (宇航员) went to the Tiangong space station with the Long March 2F rocket. The launch was a great success. This mission (任务) has two special points. First, one astronaut will live in space for one year. It is the longest space trip for Chinese astronauts. Scientists can learn how people stay healthy for a long time in space. This is very vital for China’s moon plan in 2030. Second, Li Jiaying is on this trip. She is the first astronaut from Hong Kong. It shows China’s space program welcomes people from all parts of our country. At the space station, they will do science experiments (实验), walk in space and check all machines well. This trip also tests new machines for future moon trips. All these jobs help us get ready for landing on the moon one day. Shenzhou-23 makes all Chinese proud. It tells us China makes great progress in space study, and we are getting closer to visiting bright stars in the dark sky. Young students will also be encouraged to love science and follow their own space dreams in the future. We believe our country will achieve more amazing space achievements step by step. 4. What does the underlined word “vital” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. easy B. risky C. important 5. What makes Li Jiaying special in this mission? A. She can stay in space for one year. B. She is the first Hong Kong astronaut of China. C. She makes new machines for the station. 6. Which of the following is their work at the station? ① Do science experiments. ②Walk in space. ③Build a new space station. ④Check and test machines. A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ①②④ 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. China will stop its moon plan soon. B. Shenzhou-23 shows China’s progress in space. C. All astronauts will live in space for a whole year. C Have you ever dreamed of flying? Recently, an amazing event took place at Zhejiang University. The JetRob team showed their new flying jetpack (喷气背包) in public. This invention caught the eyes of many curious students, who gathered to see for themselves. As soon as the crowd gathered, a man named Jiao Bojing put on the jetpack. He spread his arms wide. With a strong push, he lifted almost two meters off the ground! Not only did he fly up, but he also zipped (快速移动) around in the sky like a “real-life Iron Man”. After a few spins, he landed smoothly, as if he had done it a thousand times. Jiao, a flight test engineer, explained how the jetpack works. It has five engines. Two are in each hand, and one is on his back. This setup lets him control how high or how fast he flies. The whole jetpack weighs 31 kilograms, but when it’s full of fuel (燃料) , it’s 46 kilograms. With its weight, a person can fly for 3 to 5 minutes, which is just enough time to feel like a superhero! The creation of the jetpack was not a walk in the park. It took the team three to four years to get it right. Jiao mentioned they spent two of those years testing how it flew. “This is the best system we’ve built so far,” he said with pride. He also shared that flying safely takes practice. “It’s like learning to ride a bike,” he said. Jiao hopes that one day, his whole family can fly together in the sky. It sounds like a scene from a storybook, but he believes it could happen soon. With hard work and creativity, they might make their dream come true! 8. Why does the author begin the passage with a question? A. To give a reason to readers B. To get an answer from readers C. To draw readers’ attention 9. What does the underlined phrase “a walk in the park” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Easy. B. Interesting. C. Difficult. 10. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A. Jiao thinks flying in the sky couldn’t happen. B. Jiao’s team spent three to four years testing how it flew. C. Jiao hopes to fly together with his whole family in the sky. 11. What’s the main topic of this passage? A. Jiao’s flying practice. B. A new flying jetpack C. A flight test engineer. D Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth. This magical cloth became known as “silk”, and it was so valuable that it was called “China’s Gold”. Following the kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But then, something amazing happened! During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian traveled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed by, silk became so important that the trade road from Europe to China got its name— the Silk Road. The Silk Road became a busy highway for traders who carried things across deserts and mountains. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料) , gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like papermaking were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined (融合) Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive (独特的) . It can not be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation (合作) and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 12. What was spread from China to the West according to paragraph 3? A. Silk and gold. B. Tea and papermaking. C. Spices and silver. 13. What is the right order of the following facts from the passage? ①Zhang Qian traveled west with silk. ②Art and language were shared along the Silk Road. ③Traders from China and the West exchanged things. ④The Chinese were ordered to keep the secret of making silk. A. ①→④→③→② B. ④→③→②→① C. ④→①→③→② 14. The underlined word “It” in paragraph 4 refers to ________. A. The combined art style B. The silk C. Eastern-style 15. What does the story of the Silk Road mainly tell us? A. The change of world trade. B. The invention of silk. C. The importance of cross-cultural communication. 第二节（六选五，共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。 Have you ever heard of the famous folk song, Mo Li Hua (Jasmine Flower)? ____16____ This song is so popular that the jasmine flower was chosen as the Provincial Flower of Jiangsu in 2007.
