第二节 语篇理解与推理 (共12小题;每小题2分,满分24分)
A
My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little.
When I was five, I showed an interest in machinery. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language. Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested that I attend a computer camp. He gave me a brochure (小册子), and I excitedly took it home. That excitement quickly disappeared when my mom saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars. That evening, I went into my room and cried my eyes out.
But a few weeks later, I got a phone call. It was the head of the computer camp telling me I had been admitted. I could hardly believe my ears. At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites. It lit a fire in me.
Ten years later, I received another call from the camp director. “I’ve found something I think you’ll want to see,” he said, suggesting we meet. When we did, he pulled out a long handwritten letter that my mom had sent when I was 15. She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me. I broke down crying at once.
Over the years, I continued to learn as much as I could. In 2014, I finally landed a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve broken my family’s cycle of living poorly.
And all I want to do now is to sit down with my mom and thank her for everything she has done for me. Without her, I would never have the bright life I have today.
29. What do we know from Paragraph 1 about the writer’s family?
A. They lived a comfortable life for years.
B. They moved to new places for work often.
C. They had little money for a long time.
D. They cared more about grades than money.
30. What does the underlined word “admitted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Refused. B. Punished. C. Changed. D. Accepted.
31. Why does the writer mention his mom’s letter?
A. To show how much she supported him.
B. To explain why the camp cost so much.
C. To describe what he learned at the camp.
D. To show the director wanted to be thanked.
32. Which of the following best describes the writer’s feelings as the story develops?
A. Calm → angry → bored → proud.
B. Excited → sad → surprised → thankful.
C. Sure → upset → nervous → lonely.
D. Nervous → relaxed → tired → worried.
B
Can you imagine a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient controlling a power wheelchair with only his thoughts? And can you imagine him directing a robotic dog to pick up a food delivery? This is not a sci-fi movie scene. It is a huge step forward from Chinese scientists’ recent clinical trials of invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) (侵入式脑机接口).
The patient became paralyzed after a fall in 2022. In June 2025, he got a BCI system. This system was made by the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology under the CAS. After a few weeks of training, he could control a computer cursor (光标) and a tablet (手写板) without difficulty.
To help the patient interact (互动) with the world better, the researchers added new technologies. They successfully made the BCI system work not only on a 2-D screen but also in the real 3-D world. For example, the patient could use his thoughts to control a wheelchair and a robotic dog instead of just moving a cursor on a computer screen. This was a new step in getting better. It helped the brain’s orders go from a 2-D screen to real, full-bodied 3-D interaction with the world.
An invasive BCI system has two parts: a front-end sensor and a back-end processor. The front-end sensor is a very thin thread. It is only 1/100 as thick as a human hair. 5 to 8 millimeters of it is put into the brain. The back-end processor is as big as a coin. It is placed in a small hollow on the skull (颅骨). Experts say the front-end sensor is like a network cable, connecting the brain to the outside world to send and receive information. The back-end processor turns the brain’s weak signals into computer instructions. In this way, paralyzed patients can use their thoughts to control external devices and live a better daily life.
Brain-computer interface is China’s completely self-developed technology. It has broken the world record in its field. It shows that China has become more powerful in high technology. We believe China will continue to lead the world in technology development.
33. Why does the writer mention the scene at the beginning of the passage?
A. To show the purpose of BCI. B. To lead into the topic of BCI.
C. To explain the patient’s thoughts. D. To describe a sci-fi movie scene.
34. Which of the following activities is 3-D interaction with the world?
A. Click the icon on the smartphone. B. Type English words on a tablet.
C. Move a cursor on a computer screen. D. Pour water from the cup and drink.
35. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. How the invasive brain-computer interface works.
B. How the invasive brain-computer interface improves.
C. How the invasive brain-computer interface is tested.
D. How the invasive brain-computer interface is created.
36. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph1…)
A. B. C. D.
C
A great cultural event took place in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. The English-language The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu was performed (表演) in China for the first time. At the same time, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Dream of Nanke were also performed. These plays created a dialogue across time and space and showed the shared human feelings of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare (莎士比亚).
Tang Xianzu from China and William Shakespeare from England were great writers during the mid-16th century. Though they never met, their works share many similarities. Their works were about themes like love, life and human spirits, and often used “dreams” in plays to express feelings that still touch people today. This idea was shown clearly at a gala held by CCTV in Fuzhou.
In the drama Tang & Shakespeare, The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet appeared on the same stage. The performance showed Eastern “pure love” and Western “devoted love”, proving that writers from different cultures can express similar feelings about love and life.
The English-language The Peony Pavilion was successful in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. However, it also faced a challenge: how to make the special singing and music of Kunqu opera easy to understand for English people? To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms (韵律) often found in Shakespeare’s plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in movement, dance and music. With actors from different countries, the performance became a real cultural exchange, not just a translation.
Another exciting part of the event was the “Tang-Shakespeare Legacy: Youth Dialogue”, which brought together young actors from China and the UK. These young artists not only keep traditions alive, but also bring new ideas to classic works. Their work proves that cultural differences are bridges, not barriers (障碍). As we witness the exchange, we are reminded that the influence of Tang and Shakespeare is not limited to their time but lives on in every play, every shared story, and every heart it touches.
37. What do we know about Tang and Shakespeare according to the passage?
A. They worked together to write plays. B. They were writers in different periods.
C. They wrote plays in the same country. D. They used dreams to express feelings.
38. How did the performers help English speakers enjoy The Peony Pavilion?
A. By inviting many famous international actors. B. By changing the old story into a modern one.
C. By using Western rhythms and mixing art styles. D. By explaining the play before each performance.
39. Why are young artists important in this cultural event?
A. They help make the performance shorter. B. They bring new life to traditional works.
C. They follow old traditions without change. D. They decide which plays to be performed.
40. Which idea is best supported by the passage as a whole?
A. Chinese artists play an important role in this cultural event.
B. Traditional art should be protected without making changes.
C. Cultural differences lead to misunderstandings without dialogue.
D. Cultural exchange helps classical works connect different cultures.

请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In March 2026, a warm story from Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School spread widely. A Senior 3 student wrote to the school, asking to remove the bird nests outside the classroom. He and his classmates were busy preparing for the college entrance exam, and the energetic calls of birds from 18:30 to 19:10 every evening broke the peaceful study atmosphere (气氛) they needed deeply.
Instead of simply satisfying the request, the school principal, Yuan Weixing, replied with a public letter. He praised the student’s poetic writing and turned this event into a “life education class”. First, life has its own rhythm (节奏)—birdsong is natural, and learning to coexist (共存) with all living things is necessary for growth. Second, disturbance (干扰) can also be scenery; these bird calls may become a unique youth memory, and life’s resilience (弹性) is exactly cultivated (培养) in dealing with small discomforts. Third, we should learn to live in peace with nature; the nice campus environment is why birds live here.
He made it clear that he understood the students’ feelings but could not remove the nests. He pointed out that the final goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to teach us to get along with it.
To protect birds, the Shenzhen Bay Park administration turned down citizens’ suggestions on two separate cases. Earlier in 2026, when citizens suggested putting in brighter streetlights, the park refused firmly. They said too much artificial light would destroy the ecological balance and influence birds’ living habits. Later, when visitors asked to end the “No Feeding” rule, the administration said no once more. They warned that human food, like bread, is unhealthy for wild birds. It may lead to poor health, weakened survival skills, and broken migration patterns.
These stories tell us that harmony between humans and nature comes from understanding and respect, not from forcing the world to fit our needs.
77. Why did the Senior 3 student write to his school?

78. What can we learn from the principal’s words “the final goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to teach us to get along with it”?

第二节 语篇理解与推理 (共12小题;每小题2分,满分24分)
A
My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little.
When I was five, I showed an interest in machinery. By Grade 3, I was learning to program using the BASIC language. Then, one day in high school, my computer science teacher suggested that I attend a computer camp. He gave me a brochure (小册子), and I excitedly took it home. That excitement quickly disappeared when my mom saw the price of the camp: several hundred dollars. That evening, I went into my room and cried my eyes out.
But a few weeks later, I got a phone call. It was the head of the computer camp telling me I had been admitted. I could hardly believe my ears. At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites. It lit a fire in me.
Ten years later, I received another call from the camp director. “I’ve found something I think you’ll want to see,” he said, suggesting we meet. When we did, he pulled out a long handwritten letter that my mom had sent when I was 15. She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me. I broke down crying at once.
Over the years, I continued to learn as much as I could. In 2014, I finally landed a job where I could use all my skills. Now, I’m proud to say that I’ve broken my family’s cycle of living poorly.
And all I want to do now is to sit down with my mom and thank her for everything she has done for me. Without her, I would never have the bright life I have today.
29. What do we know from Paragraph 1 about the writer’s family?
A. They lived a comfortable life for years.

30. What does the underlined word “admitted” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Refused. B. Punished. C. Changed. D. Accepted.
31. Why does the writer mention his mom’s letter?
A. To show how much she supported him.
B. To explain why the camp cost so much.
C. To describe what he learned at the camp.
D. To show the director wanted to be thanked.
32. Which of the following best describes the writer’s feelings as the story develops?
A. Calm → angry → bored → proud.

【导语】本文讲述了作者出身于长期贫困的家庭,在母亲的支持和计算机营负责人的帮助下,抓住学习机会,最终打破家族贫困循环、实现人生逆袭,并感恩母亲付出的成长故事。
【29题详解】
对应第一段,文中提到“My family had a long-running cycle of growing up poor. Both my mom and dad came from large families with little more than the clothes on their backs. Their parents had also grown up with very little.”,可知作者的家族长期以来都很缺钱。
【30题详解】
对应第三段,前文提到作者因付不起夏令营费用而哭泣,后文提到“At that camp, I met many like-minded kids and learned how to build websites.”,说明作者成功参加了夏令营,因此“admitted”的意思是被接受、被录取。
【31题详解】
对应第四段,文中提到“She wrote that I was a smart kid. She talked a lot about my early love for machinery and computers. She ended by saying she couldn’t afford the cost of the computer camp and hoped with all her heart that they would still accept me.”信中母亲详细介绍了作者对计算机的热爱,并恳请夏令营录取作者,体现了母亲对作者的全力支持,因此作者提到这封信是为了展现母亲对自己的支持。
【32题详解】
对应全文,作者一开始拿到夏令营手册时很兴奋,看到价格后伤心哭泣,接到录取电话时十分惊讶,最后得知母亲写信的真相后充满感激,情绪变化为兴奋→悲伤→惊讶→感恩。
B
Can you imagine a paralyzed (瘫痪的) patient controlling a power wheelchair with only his thoughts? And can you imagine him directing a robotic dog to pick up a food delivery? This is not a sci-fi movie scene. It is a huge step forward from Chinese scientists’ recent clinical trials of invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) (侵入式脑机接口).
The patient became paralyzed after a fall in 2022. In June 2025, he got a BCI system. This system was made by the Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology under the CAS. After a few weeks of training, he could control a computer cursor (光标) and a tablet (手写板) without difficulty.
To help the patient interact (互动) with the world better, the researchers added new technologies. They successfully made the BCI system work not only on a 2-D screen but also in the real 3-D world. For example, the patient could use his thoughts to control a wheelchair and a robotic dog instead of just moving a cursor on a computer screen. This was a new step in getting better. It helped the brain’s orders go from a 2-D screen to real, full-bodied 3-D interaction with the world.
An invasive BCI system has two parts: a front-end sensor and a back-end processor. The front-end sensor is a very thin thread. It is only 1/100 as thick as a human hair. 5 to 8 millimeters of it is put into the brain. The back-end processor is as big as a coin. It is placed in a small hollow on the skull (颅骨). Experts say the front-end sensor is like a network cable, connecting the brain to the outside world to send and receive information. The back-end processor turns the brain’s weak signals into computer instructions. In this way, paralyzed patients can use their thoughts to control external devices and live a better daily life.
Brain-computer interface is China’s completely self-developed technology. It has broken the world record in its field. It shows that China has become more powerful in high technology. We believe China will continue to lead the world in technology development.
33. Why does the writer mention the scene at the beginning of the passage?
A. To show the purpose of BCI. B. To lead into the topic of BCI.
C. To explain the patient’s thoughts. D. To describe a sci-fi movie scene.
34. Which of the following activities is 3-D interaction with the world?
A. Click the icon on the smartphone. B. Type English words on a tablet.
C. Move a cursor on a computer screen. D. Pour water from the cup and drink.
35. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. How the invasive brain-computer interface works.
B. How the invasive brain-computer interface improves.
C. How the invasive brain-computer interface is tested.
D. How the invasive brain-computer interface is created.
36. Which of the following best shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①=Paragraph1…)
A. B. C. D.
【答案】33. B 34. D 35. A 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国科学家在侵入式脑机接口领域的突破性进展,以及该技术如何帮助瘫痪患者与世界互动。
【33题详解】
文章开头描绘了瘫痪病人用思想控制设备的场景,之后点明这不是科幻,而是中国科学家的侵入式脑机接口(BCI)的研究成果,目的是引出本文的说明对象BCI这个主题。
【34题详解】
第三段提到“They successfully made the BCI system work not only on a 2-D screen but also in the real 3-D world. For example, the patient could use his thoughts to control a wheelchair and a robotic dog instead of just moving a cursor on a computer screen.”,说明与真实世界进行三维互动的例子是患者用思想控制轮椅和机器狗,如从杯子里倒水喝这种活动属于与真实世界的三维互动。
【35题详解】
第四段开头指出“An invasive BCI system has two parts: a front-end sensor and a back-end processor.”,接着分别介绍了前端传感器和后端处理器,并说明了它们如何协同工作,使瘫痪患者能够用思想控制外部设备。说明本段主要讲述了侵入式脑机接口是如何工作的。
【36题详解】
根据文章结构分析:第一段通过场景引入BCI话题;第二、三段介绍BCI系统的功能和应用进展;第四段介绍BCI的工作原理;第五段总结BCI的意义和中国技术发展。因此文章结构为①/②③/④/⑤,符合示意图B的层级结构。
C
A great cultural event took place in Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. The English-language The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭) by Tang Xianzu was performed (表演) in China for the first time. At the same time, A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Dream of Nanke were also performed. These plays created a dialogue across time and space and showed the shared human feelings of Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare (莎士比亚).
Tang Xianzu from China and William Shakespeare from England were great writers during the mid-16th century. Though they never met, their works share many similarities. Their works were about themes like love, life and human spirits, and often used “dreams” in plays to express feelings that still touch people today. This idea was shown clearly at a gala held by CCTV in Fuzhou.
In the drama Tang & Shakespeare, The Peony Pavilion and Romeo and Juliet appeared on the same stage. The performance showed Eastern “pure love” and Western “devoted love”, proving that writers from different cultures can express similar feelings about love and life.
The English-language The Peony Pavilion was successful in bringing Eastern and Western cultures together. However, it also faced a challenge: how to make the special singing and music of Kunqu opera easy to understand for English people? To solve this problem, the actors used rhythms (韵律) often found in Shakespeare’s plays and mixed Western and Chinese styles in movement, dance and music. With actors from different countries, the performance became a real cultural exchange, not just a translation.
Another exciting part of the event was the “Tang-Shakespeare Legacy: Youth Dialogue”, which brought together young actors from China and the UK. These young artists not only keep traditions alive, but also bring new ideas to classic works. Their work proves that cultural differences are bridges, not barriers (障碍). As we witness the exchange, we are reminded that the influence of Tang and Shakespeare is not limited to their time but lives on in every play, every shared story, and every heart it touches.
37. What do we know about Tang and Shakespeare according to the passage?
A. They worked together to write plays. B. They were writers in different periods.
C. They wrote plays in the same country. D. They used dreams to express feelings.
38. How did the performers help English speakers enjoy The Peony Pavilion?
A. By inviting many famous international actors. B. By changing the old story into a modern one.
C. By using Western rhythms and mixing art styles. D. By explaining the play before each performance.
39. Why are young artists important in this cultural event?
A. They help make the performance shorter. B. They bring new life to traditional works.
C. They follow old traditions without change. D. They decide which plays to be performed.
40. Which idea is best supported by the passage as a whole?
A. Chinese artists play an important role in this cultural event.
B. Traditional art should be protected without making changes.
C. Cultural differences lead to misunderstandings without dialogue.
D. Cultural exchange helps classical works connect different cultures.
【答案】37. D 38. C 39. B 40. D

【75题详解】

四、语篇读写 (满分45分)
第一节、阅读与回答问题 (本题共5小题;第1题2分,第2到4题每题3分,第5题4分,满分15分)
请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
In March 2026, a warm story from Shenzhen Bao’an Middle School spread widely. A Senior 3 student wrote to the school, asking to remove the bird nests outside the classroom. He and his classmates were busy preparing for the college entrance exam, and the energetic calls of birds from 18:30 to 19:10 every evening broke the peaceful study atmosphere (气氛) they needed deeply.
Instead of simply satisfying the request, the school principal, Yuan Weixing, replied with a public letter. He praised the student’s poetic writing and turned this event into a “life education class”. First, life has its own rhythm (节奏)—birdsong is natural, and learning to coexist (共存) with all living things is necessary for growth. Second, disturbance (干扰) can also be scenery; these bird calls may become a unique youth memory, and life’s resilience (弹性) is exactly cultivated (培养) in dealing with small discomforts. Third, we should learn to live in peace with nature; the nice campus environment is why birds live here.
He made it clear that he understood the students’ feelings but could not remove the nests. He pointed out that the final goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to teach us to get along with it.
To protect birds, the Shenzhen Bay Park administration turned down citizens’ suggestions on two separate cases. Earlier in 2026, when citizens suggested putting in brighter streetlights, the park refused firmly. They said too much artificial light would destroy the ecological balance and influence birds’ living habits. Later, when visitors asked to end the “No Feeding” rule, the administration said no once more. They warned that human food, like bread, is unhealthy for wild birds. It may lead to poor health, weakened survival skills, and broken migration patterns.
These stories tell us that harmony between humans and nature comes from understanding and respect, not from forcing the world to fit our needs.
77. Why did the Senior 3 student write to his school?
___________________________________________________________________________
78. What can we learn from the principal’s words “the final goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to teach us to get along with it”?
___________________________________________________________________________
79. Why did Shenzhen Bay Park refuse to put in brighter streetlights?
___________________________________________________________________________
80. What trouble will wild birds meet if people feed them bread?
___________________________________________________________________________
81. What lesson can we learn from the two stories? Write about 30 words.
___________________________________________________________________________
【答案】77. Because he thought the calls of the birds were too noisy while they were studying. He asked the school to remove the bird nests outside the classroom.
78. We should learn to accept small discomforts and live in peace with nature instead of letting everything fit our needs.
79. Too much man-made light would break the ecological balance and influence birds’ living habits.
80. It may lead to poor health, weakened survival skills, and broken migration patterns.
81. We should learn to live in peace with nature. Harmony between humans and nature comes from understanding and respect. We cannot force the world to fit our needs but should protect the ecological balance together.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过深圳宝安中学校长拒绝移除鸟巢和深圳湾公园拒绝市民建议两个故事,传达了人与自然应和谐共处的教育理念。
【77题详解】
根据文章第1段“the energetic calls of birds from 18:30 to 19:10 every evening broke the peaceful study atmosphere (气氛) they needed deeply.”可知,学生写信是因为鸟叫声影响了学习。
【78题详解】
根据文章第3段“He pointed out that the final goal of education is not to make the world adapt to us, but to teach us to get along with it.”可知,我们应该学会接受小的不适,与自然和平相处,而不是让一切都符合我们的需要。
【79题详解】
根据文章第4段“They said too much artificial light would destroy the ecological balance and influence birds’ living habits.”可知,因为过多的人造光会破坏生态平衡,影响鸟类的生活习惯。
【80题详解】
根据文章第4段“It may lead to poor health, weakened survival skills, and broken migration patterns.”可知,它可能会导致健康状况不佳、生存技能减弱和迁移模式中断。
【81题详解】
结合全文最后一段的主旨句,总结出人与自然要基于理解尊重实现和谐共处,不能强迫自然满足自身需求的核心道理,符合30词左右的要求。
