No matter how upset I am, this perfect mix is always enough to cheer me up. The creamy flavour (奶油味道) is like a time machine, transporting me back to my sunny childhood. I still remember those lazy Sunday afternoons spent in my grandma’s warm flat, listening to her stories and enjoying bowl after bowl of her rice pudding (布丁). When I take my time over every spoonful (一勺), the silky dessert rolls gently in my mouth, and I taste the perfect mix of rice and milk. Slowly, my sadness disappears. My experience with rice pudding shows the special power of “comfort food”. Generally speaking, comfort food can be any food making us feel better. Its magic is in the warm memories we have. Helping us bring back happy moments of loved people and places, it can reduce bad feelings. Our comfort foods are different from person to person, depending on our life experiences. Growing up eating a dish with family, we will link its taste with warm feelings. For people living far away from their hometown, comfort food matters even more. It is really hard to give up the food they’ve loved since childhood. Carrying our cultural roots, comfort food brings us the taste of home. For Chinese people, it may be dumplings served with vinegar (醋). For British people, it could be hot fish and chips. One bite (一口) can unlock sweet memories, reducing our homesickness. Tasting nice and building emotional bonds (情感联结) with our past, comfort food is more than simple dishes. It is food for the soul (灵魂). 1．Why can rice pudding cheer the writer up? A．It brings back happy childhood memories. B．It is cooked by the writer herself. C．It is cheap and easy to make. 2．Which best describes the Sunday afternoons spent in my grandma’s flat? A．Quiet and boring. B．Warm and relaxing. C．Busy and tiring. 3．Why does the writer mention dumplings and fish and chips in Paragraph 5? A．To show comfort food is different in different cultures. B．To tell us what the writer’s own comfort food is. C．To introduce two most popular dishes around the world. 4．What does the last sentence “It is food for the soul” mean? A．Comfort food can feed our body as well as our mind. B．We should eat enough food to keep our body strong. C．Only home-made food can solve our homesickness. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，作者以自身靠大米布丁缓解低落情绪的经历引入，介绍了“安慰食物”的特殊力量，说明安慰食物因人而异，承载着文化根源与美好回忆，能够抚慰情绪、缓解乡愁，是滋养灵魂的食物。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第1段“The creamy flavour is like a time machine, transporting me back to my sunny childhood.”可知，大米布丁的味道能唤起作者快乐的童年回忆，因此能让作者振作起来。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“I still remember those lazy Sunday afternoons spent in my grandma’s warm flat, listening to her stories and enjoying bowl after bowl of her rice pudding.”可知，在奶奶公寓度过的周日下午是温暖且放松慵懒的。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第5段“Carrying our cultural roots, comfort food brings us the taste of home. For Chinese people, it may be dumplings served with vinegar. For British people, it could be hot fish and chips.”可知，作者列举不同国家的代表性安慰食物，是为了说明不同文化中的安慰食物各不相同，都承载着各自的文化与家的记忆。 4．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“Tasting nice and building emotional bonds with our past, comfort food is more than simple dishes.”可知，安慰食物不只是普通的餐食，还能建立人与过往的情感联结，滋养人的精神世界，因此“It is food for the soul”指安慰食物既能满足身体需求，也能滋养心灵。 Born in 1895 in Yixing, Jiangsu, Xu Beihong showed a strong interest in arts since childhood. He began studying the Chinese Classics from his father when he was six. Xu spent much time helping out on his family’s farm. In 1912, his father fell ill. Xu became the breadwinner of the family and began teaching arts in all kinds of schools. In 1917, he began to teach at Peking University at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei. Beginning in 1919, Xu studied oil painting and drawing in Paris. His travels around Europe allowed him to explore Western art techniques. He studied the bone structure (骨架) and movement of horses. Such knowledge is clear in his works. But his excellent ink brushwork truly brought his horses to life. Through his art, Xu gave the world a new way of understanding horses, celebrating their beauty, strength and spirit. In 1923, Xu’s oil painting was shown at the French National Art Exhibition (展览) . Later, he received invitations from many European cities to hold exhibitions internationally. After returning home in 1927, Xu took an active part in art education. He focused on developing creativity with students. He also encouraged his students to learn from foreign artworks. “There is no other way to learn art, but to keep practising,” Xu once said. In 1933, Xu organized an exhibition of modern Chinese painting in Paris. It drew in lots of attention and was then moved to Belgium, Milan, Moscow, and other places. Between 1939 and 1941, Xu travelled to Southeast Asia, holding exhibitions in Singapore and India. All the money from these exhibitions went to Chinese people who were suffering because of the war. 1．Why did Xu study the bone structure and movement of horses? A．To raise horses on his family’s farm. B．To train horses in a wiser way. C．To draw artworks of horses better. 2．Which of the following best shows Xu’s idea in art education? A．Goals push us forward. B．Practice makes perfect. C．Confidence is the key to success. 3．In 1940, Xu held an exhibition in ________. A．Shanghai B．New Delhi C．New York 4．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A．The exhibitions in Southeast Asia. B．Xu’s travelling plan across the world. C．Xu’s success in art and love of country. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了中国著名画家徐悲鸿的生平经历、艺术成就以及他以艺术报国的爱国情怀。 1．细节理解题。第二段提到“He studied the bone structure and movement of horses. Such knowledge is clear in his works.”，说明徐悲鸿研究马的骨架和运动，是为了在作品中更准确、生动地画马，因此选择C“To draw artworks of horses better.”。 2．推理判断题。第四段引用徐悲鸿的话：“There is no other way to learn art, but to keep practising.”，强调学习艺术没有别的办法，只有不断练习，这与B“Practice makes perfect.”（熟能生巧）最符合。 3．推理判断题。第五段提到“Between 1939 and 1941, Xu travelled to Southeast Asia, holding exhibitions in Singapore and India.”，1940年属于1939至1941年之间，因此他可能在印度举办展览，新德里属于印度城市。 4．主旨大意题。最后一段主要讲述徐悲鸿1933年在巴黎举办中国现代画展，并在比利时、米兰、莫斯科等地巡展；1939至1941年又赴东南亚举办展览，并将所得款项捐给因战争受苦的中国人民。这些内容既体现他的艺术成功，也体现他的爱国之情，因此选择C“Xu’s success in art and love of country.”。 In a small village in Yunnan, there lives a 70-year-old woman named Grandma Chen.

Last year, a reporter came to the village and wrote a story about Grandma Chen. Her story was shared online and touched many people. Donations (捐赠) of books began to arrive from different parts of the country. When people ask her why she did all this, Grandma Chen says, “In my life, I have seen many changes.

In ancient times, delivering things quickly was never easy. People spent lots of time on the road and often faced terrible weather. In the early Shang Dynasty, there were no post offices or bicycles. Messengers (信使) travelled on foot for days to deliver the king’s messages. They even had to carry basic food and water for their long journeys. As time went by, delivery improved greatly during the Tang Dynasty. People rode horses to send things faster, saving much time. Some also used kites or pigeons (鸽子) to deliver letters. Pigeons could fly long distances and send messages correctly. These new methods made communication much easier. After that, during the Qing Dynasty, a special service called Biaoju appeared. Skilled guards helped send letters and kept people and their valuable things safe on dangerous roads. They were brave and tried their best to complete each task. Nowadays, delivery services are everywhere. Online shopping keeps countless delivery workers busy. They ride e-bikes to bring goods to our doors on time. By 2026, delivery will have become even faster and smarter. Many robots and drones (无人机) help deliver packages in cities and villages. What’s more, people now use more green packaging to protect the environment. China’s delivery industry is developing quickly, sending ten billion packages each month. From ancient messengers to modern robots and drones, we can clearly see huge changes in technology and daily life. 1．How did messengers send the king’s messages in the early Shang Dynasty?

Researchers used to think it was because children don’t have a fully developed memory. But recent studies suggest that a few things can influence how much of our childhood we remember. There are two kinds of long-term memory. As a young child, most of our memories are unconscious (无意识的). An unconscious memory happens naturally and helps us do the things we learned before without thinking about them, like riding a bike or singing the words of a song. But as we grow up, we start collecting more and more conscious memories, such as memorizing facts for a test. When you think of a conscious memory, you are actively bringing it into your mind. Once we’ve formed a memory, the best way to remember it is to talk about it. This retelling of an event reinforces our memory. You can tell someone what happened, write about it in a diary, or even record yourself retelling the experience. Besides, the way parents speak to their child can also make a big difference. Parents should encourage a young child to talk about an event and pay attention to the details (细节), which means the child has to give answers to open-ended (开放式的) questions. In contrast (相反), questions with yes-or-no answers make children less likely to remember the events. Some childhood memories are experiences we do many times without thinking about them, while others become stronger when we actively bring them into our minds. The more time we take to think about and share our memories, the more likely they are to stay with us. 1．Which of the following is an example of unconscious memories according to the passage? A．Planning a birthday party. B．Riding a bike without thinking. C．Memorizing facts for an important test. 2．According to Paragraph 3, what can help a young child remember an event better? A．Answering questions with yes-or-no answers. B．Talking about the details of the event. C．Saying nothing about the event. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．How we talk about a memory can affect how long we keep it. B．Unconscious memories are formed later than conscious ones. C．Most adults can remember their childhood in great detail. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．When people have a fully developed memory. B．Why childhood memories matter to people’s future life. C．What influences how much people remember from childhood. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了影响人们记忆童年经历的科学因素，阐释了无意识记忆与有意识记忆的区别，并指出通过讨论、复述细节和回答开放式问题能够有效增强记忆留存。 1．细节理解题。第二段明确提到：“An unconscious memory happens naturally and helps us do the things we learned before without thinking about them, like riding a bike or singing the words of a song.”，说明不用思考便自然骑自行车属于无意识记忆的典型范例。 2．细节理解题。第三段明确指出：“Parents should encourage a young child to talk about an event and pay attention to the details…”，说明引导幼儿谈论事件并关注细节有助于孩子更好地记住该事件。 3．推理判断题。第三段提到谈论事件能加深记忆“…the best way to remember it is to talk about it. This retelling of an event reinforces our memory.”，第四段进一步强调花时间思考和分享记忆有助于记忆长久留存“The more time we take to think about and share our memories, the more likely they are to stay with us.”，说明我们谈论记忆的方式会影响我们对该记忆保留的时长。 4．主旨大意题。第一段尾句开篇点题指出：“…recent studies suggest that a few things can influence how much of our childhood we remember.”，全文围绕记忆的两种类型以及复述、关注细节等因素对记忆留存的作用展开分析，说明全文的核心主旨在于探讨影响人们童年记忆多寡的因素。 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。 Have you ever wondered how blind people read? Thanks to a system invented by Louis Braille, blind people can learn to use their fingers to read. In 1809, Braille was born in a small town in France. 1 Later, his other eye was infected (感染), resulting in complete blindness. His blindness inspired him to become an inventor who made contributions to all blind people. When Braille was ten years old, his parents sent him to a special school for blind students. Braille learned how to read at this school. He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper. 2 Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes. Then, in 1821, Braille heard about a night-reading code system. It was a 12-dot (12凸点) system that was created for night-time communication between soldiers. However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters. 3 Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system. He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter. 4 Blind people could read much faster and more easily. Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on. 5 A．It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger. B．Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille. C．Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people. D．However, this was slow and difficult. E．When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记类说明文，主要讲述盲文体系发明者Louis Braille幼年因意外全盲，在盲校学习过程中发现旧盲读方式的缺陷，最终改进军用夜间触码系统、发明六点盲文的成长故事。 1．空后“Later, his other eye was infected, resulting in complete blindness”说明此处需要衔接他眼睛受伤，最终全盲的经历，选项E“When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing.”按时间顺序串联起他失明的完整过程，和上下文逻辑完全顺承。 2．空前“He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper.”、空后“Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes”说明此处要转折指出这种摸凸起字母的旧方法的缺陷，选项D“However, this was slow and difficult.”既用转折衔接了旧方法的不足，也和下文“很多字母摸起来难以区分”的描述形成呼应。 3．空前“However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters”、空后“Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system”说明此处需要衔接他发现旧军用系统缺陷、萌生改进想法的过渡环节，选项C“Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people.”承上启下，自然引出后文他耗时三年开发新系统的行动。 4．空前“He used six raised dots with different combinations to stand for each letter.”、空后“Blind people could read much faster and more easily”说明此处要解释新六点盲文系统的优势原理，选项A“It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger.”点明了新系统的核心优点，正是后文“盲人读得更快更轻松”的原因，前后因果衔接合理。 5．空前“Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on.”直接说明此处要收尾点明这套系统对后世的影响，选项B“Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille.”承接“系统留存至今”的表述，说明后人以他的名字命名盲文以作纪念，作为全文结尾自然贴合。 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Do you have trouble memorizing things? If this fills you with anxiety all the time, don’t worry. 1 Try the Feynman technique (技巧) . This technique was named after Richard Feynman, a famous physicist. After you learn something, you can try to explain it in simple words to someone who knows nothing about it. 2 Give it a try! Use chunking. Chunking means breaking a large amount of information into smaller groups. For example, instead of remembering a phone number as eleven separate digits, you should divide it into three or four parts. 3 Make up a story. 4 Then, link points together to make up an interesting story. The story makes what you want to memorize unforgettable. 5 Our brains need time to store information. In order to form long-term memories, you should review what you’ve learned often. This helps fill the gaps (漏洞) in your knowledge. Even a quick review can make a big difference. A．Review regularly. B．First, list what you need to memorize. C．This makes it much easier to remember a phone number. D．It helps you fully understand and remember what you’ve learned. E．The following methods can help you improve your memory. 【答案】1．E 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种能够帮助提升记忆力的实用方法，包括费曼技巧、分块记忆、编故事记忆以及定期复习。 1．前文“Do you have trouble memorizing things? If this fills you with anxiety all the time, don’t worry”，以及后文开始逐一介绍具体的记忆方法，说明此处需要起到承上启下，引出下文的方法，选项E“The following methods can help you improve your memory”符合语境。 2．前文“After you learn something, you can try to explain it in simple words to someone who knows nothing about it”，提示此处是说明费曼技巧的作用，选项D“It helps you fully understand and remember what you’ve learned”符合语境。 3．前文“For example, instead of remembering a phone number as eleven separate digits, you should divide it into three or four parts”，说明此处是说明分块处理电话号码带来的效果，选项C“This makes it much easier to remember a phone number”符合语境。 4．后文“Then, link points together to make up an interesting story”，说明此处是编故事记忆法的第一步，选项B“First, list what you need to memorize”符合逻辑顺序。 5．后文“Our brains need time to store information.

It is given out every four years to young mathematicians (数学家) under 40. In 2026, Wang Hong made history. She became the first mathematician from China and the third woman in the world to win the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖). It is admirable for her to win the medal at the age of 35. Wang Hong was born in 1991 in Guilin, Guangxi. At an early age, she had a great interest in learning. When she was 16, she entered Peking University. At first, she studied earth science, but later she changed her major (专业) to maths. However, her journey was not always easy. She sometimes doubted herself and even spent half a year learning architecture (建筑) before returning to maths. After university, she went abroad to study in France and the United States. In 2019, she got her PhD from MIT. Her greatest achievement was proving the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (三维挂谷猜想). It was a famous math problem that mathematicians could not prove for over 100 years. By working together with Joshua Zahl, she developed a new method and finally proved it. Her work has helped scientists explore other difficult problems. Although Wang Hong is famous, she lives a balanced life. She once said, “Rest when you feel tired and study when you have energy.” She exercises regularly and takes breaks when facing difficult problems. After she won the medal, many people felt proud of her. Her story shows that if you never give up, you can shine on the world stage. 1．Who won the Fields Medal in 2026? __________________________________________________________________ 2．How many majors did Wang Hong study at university? __________________________________________________________________ 3．What has Wang Hong’s achievement helped scientists to do? __________________________________________________________________ 4．Do you want to learn from Wang Hong?

They found that students who believe they can become cleverer really do become cleverer. This belief is called a “growth mindset”—the understanding that abilities can be developed through hard work and good strategies. Dr. Carol Dweck, a leading researcher at Stanford University, has spent over 30 years studying how mindset affects learning. In one famous experiment, she gave a group of students a set of challenging puzzles (谜题). After finishing, half of the students were praised for their intelligence (“You must be smart!”) while the other half were praised for their effort (“You must have worked hard!”). The results were very different. Students who were praised for effort were more willing to take on harder challenges later, while those praised for intelligence often gave up when things became difficult. Dweck’s research shows that students with a growth mindset see mistakes as chances to learn. They know that trying hard to solve a problem means they are growing, not failing. On the other hand, students with a “fixed mindset” believe that intelligence is something they are born with. They often stay away from hard challenges because they’re afraid of failure. The good news is that mindsets can change. It’s never too late for people to form a growth mindset. Teachers and parents can help students develop a growth mindset by praising their hard work and learning methods instead of intelligence. This simple way of praise can greatly encourage students to face difficulties bravely. Dr. Dweck believes that everyone has the ability to become a better learner. The key is to face challenges and keep trying. As she often says, “Becoming is better than being.” 1．What is called a “growth mindset”? _____________________________________________________ 2．What were the two groups of students praised for in the experiment? _____________________________________________________ 3．Do students with a fixed mindset enjoy taking hard challenges? _____________________________________________________ 4．How can teachers and parents help students develop a growth mindset? _____________________________________________________ 5．Which mindset do you have, growth mindset or fixed mindset?

Whenever I feel lonely, I have a secret recipe (食谱) to cheer myself up: rice, milk and sugar, cooked low and slow. No matter how upset I am, this perfect mix is always enough to cheer me up. The creamy flavour (奶油味道) is like a time machine, transporting me back to my sunny childhood. I still remember those lazy Sunday afternoons spent in my grandma’s warm flat, listening to her stories and enjoying bowl after bowl of her rice pudding (布丁). When I take my time over every spoonful (一勺), the silky dessert rolls gently in my mouth, and I taste the perfect mix of rice and milk. Slowly, my sadness disappears. My experience with rice pudding shows the special power of “comfort food”. Generally speaking, comfort food can be any food making us feel better. Its magic is in the warm memories we have. Helping us bring back happy moments of loved people and places, it can reduce bad feelings. Our comfort foods are different from person to person, depending on our life experiences. Growing up eating a dish with family, we will link its taste with warm feelings. For people living far away from their hometown, comfort food matters even more. It is really hard to give up the food they’ve loved since childhood. Carrying our cultural roots, comfort food brings us the taste of home. For Chinese people, it may be dumplings served with vinegar (醋). For British people, it could be hot fish and chips. One bite (一口) can unlock sweet memories, reducing our homesickness. Tasting nice and building emotional bonds (情感联结) with our past, comfort food is more than simple dishes. It is food for the soul (灵魂). 1．Why can rice pudding cheer the writer up? A．It brings back happy childhood memories. B．It is cooked by the writer herself. C．It is cheap and easy to make. 2．Which best describes the Sunday afternoons spent in my grandma’s flat? A．Quiet and boring. B．Warm and relaxing. C．Busy and tiring. 3．Why does the writer mention dumplings and fish and chips in Paragraph 5? A．To show comfort food is different in different cultures. B．To tell us what the writer’s own comfort food is. C．To introduce two most popular dishes around the world. 4．What does the last sentence “It is food for the soul” mean? A．Comfort food can feed our body as well as our mind. B．We should eat enough food to keep our body strong. C．Only home-made food can solve our homesickness. Born in 1895 in Yixing, Jiangsu, Xu Beihong showed a strong interest in arts since childhood. He began studying the Chinese Classics from his father when he was six. Xu spent much time helping out on his family’s farm. In 1912, his father fell ill. Xu became the breadwinner of the family and began teaching arts in all kinds of schools. In 1917, he began to teach at Peking University at the invitation of Cai Yuanpei. Beginning in 1919, Xu studied oil painting and drawing in Paris. His travels around Europe allowed him to explore Western art techniques. He studied the bone structure (骨架) and movement of horses. Such knowledge is clear in his works. But his excellent ink brushwork truly brought his horses to life. Through his art, Xu gave the world a new way of understanding horses, celebrating their beauty, strength and spirit. In 1923, Xu’s oil painting was shown at the French National Art Exhibition (展览) . Later, he received invitations from many European cities to hold exhibitions internationally. After returning home in 1927, Xu took an active part in art education. He focused on developing creativity with students. He also encouraged his students to learn from foreign artworks. “There is no other way to learn art, but to keep practising,” Xu once said. In 1933, Xu organized an exhibition of modern Chinese painting in Paris. It drew in lots of attention and was then moved to Belgium, Milan, Moscow, and other places. Between 1939 and 1941, Xu travelled to Southeast Asia, holding exhibitions in Singapore and India. All the money from these exhibitions went to Chinese people who were suffering because of the war. 1．Why did Xu study the bone structure and movement of horses?

In a small village in Yunnan, there lives a 70-year-old woman named Grandma Chen. She is not rich or famous, but she has earned the love and respect of everyone in her village. Grandma Chen was born in 1956 in the same village where she lives now. Her family was very poor and she never went to school. When she was 15, she started working in the fields to support her family. She got married at 20 and had four children. Life was very hard for her, but she never complained. What makes Grandma Chen special is her devotion to others. Twenty years ago, she noticed that many children in the village could not afford to buy books. She started a small library in her home with books that she bought with her own savings. She invited children to come and read. “Reading can change a child's future,” she often said. Over the years, Grandma Chen's library has grown. It now has over 2,000 books. More than 300 children have visited her library and improved their reading skills. Some of them have even gone to university. Grandma Chen is very proud of them. Last year, a reporter came to the village and wrote a story about Grandma Chen. Her story was shared online and touched many people. Donations (捐赠) of books began to arrive from different parts of the country. When people ask her why she did all this, Grandma Chen says, “In my life, I have seen many changes. The village has new roads, new buildings, and new schools. But the most important change is when children's lives are changed by reading.

Delivery (递送) has a long history in China. In ancient times, delivering things quickly was never easy. People spent lots of time on the road and often faced terrible weather. In the early Shang Dynasty, there were no post offices or bicycles. Messengers (信使) travelled on foot for days to deliver the king’s messages. They even had to carry basic food and water for their long journeys. As time went by, delivery improved greatly during the Tang Dynasty. People rode horses to send things faster, saving much time. Some also used kites or pigeons (鸽子) to deliver letters. Pigeons could fly long distances and send messages correctly. These new methods made communication much easier. After that, during the Qing Dynasty, a special service called Biaoju appeared. Skilled guards helped send letters and kept people and their valuable things safe on dangerous roads. They were brave and tried their best to complete each task. Nowadays, delivery services are everywhere. Online shopping keeps countless delivery workers busy. They ride e-bikes to bring goods to our doors on time. By 2026, delivery will have become even faster and smarter. Many robots and drones (无人机) help deliver packages in cities and villages. What’s more, people now use more green packaging to protect the environment. China’s delivery industry is developing quickly, sending ten billion packages each month. From ancient messengers to modern robots and drones, we can clearly see huge changes in technology and daily life. 1．How did messengers send the king’s messages in the early Shang Dynasty? A．By walking. B．By riding horses. C．By using kites. 2．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The guards in Biaoju. B．The dangers on ancient roads. C．A special delivery service in the Qing Dynasty. 3．What does the text tell us about green packaging? A．It helps protect the environment. B．It will soon disappear completely. C．It costs much more money to make. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To tell people to shop online more often. B．To praise ancient messengers’ hard work. C．To show big changes in delivery in China. Did you know that most adults can’t remember much about their childhood? Researchers used to think it was because children don’t have a fully developed memory. But recent studies suggest that a few things can influence how much of our childhood we remember. There are two kinds of long-term memory. As a young child, most of our memories are unconscious (无意识的). An unconscious memory happens naturally and helps us do the things we learned before without thinking about them, like riding a bike or singing the words of a song. But as we grow up, we start collecting more and more conscious memories, such as memorizing facts for a test. When you think of a conscious memory, you are actively bringing it into your mind. Once we’ve formed a memory, the best way to remember it is to talk about it. This retelling of an event reinforces our memory. You can tell someone what happened, write about it in a diary, or even record yourself retelling the experience. Besides, the way parents speak to their child can also make a big difference. Parents should encourage a young child to talk about an event and pay attention to the details (细节), which means the child has to give answers to open-ended (开放式的) questions. In contrast (相反), questions with yes-or-no answers make children less likely to remember the events. Some childhood memories are experiences we do many times without thinking about them, while others become stronger when we actively bring them into our minds. The more time we take to think about and share our memories, the more likely they are to stay with us. 1．Which of the following is an example of unconscious memories according to the passage? A．Planning a birthday party. B．Riding a bike without thinking. C．Memorizing facts for an important test. 2．According to Paragraph 3, what can help a young child remember an event better? A．Answering questions with yes-or-no answers. B．Talking about the details of the event. C．Saying nothing about the event. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．How we talk about a memory can affect how long we keep it. B．Unconscious memories are formed later than conscious ones. C．Most adults can remember their childhood in great detail. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．When people have a fully developed memory. B．Why childhood memories matter to people’s future life. C．What influences how much people remember from childhood. 阅读下面的短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项补全短文。 Have you ever wondered how blind people read? Thanks to a system invented by Louis Braille, blind people can learn to use their fingers to read. In 1809, Braille was born in a small town in France. 1 Later, his other eye was infected (感染), resulting in complete blindness. His blindness inspired him to become an inventor who made contributions to all blind people. When Braille was ten years old, his parents sent him to a special school for blind students. Braille learned how to read at this school. He was first taught to read by feeling raised letters on paper. 2 Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes. Then, in 1821, Braille heard about a night-reading code system. It was a 12-dot (12凸点) system that was created for night-time communication between soldiers. However, this system didn’t allow the fingertip to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letters. 3 Three years later, Braille developed a shorter and simpler touch system based on the night-reading code system. He used six raised dots with different combinations (组合) to stand for each letter. 4 Blind people could read much faster and more easily. Braille died in 1852, but his touch system lives on. 5 A．It allowed a blind person to feel a whole letter without moving his or her finger. B．Now people call this touch system Braille in honor of Louis Braille. C．Braille thought that the night-reading code system could be improved for blind people. D．However, this was slow and difficult. E．When he was three, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes when he was playing. 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Do you have trouble memorizing things? If this fills you with anxiety all the time, don’t worry. 1 Try the Feynman technique (技巧) . This technique was named after Richard Feynman, a famous physicist. After you learn something, you can try to explain it in simple words to someone who knows nothing about it. 2 Give it a try! Use chunking. Chunking means breaking a large amount of information into smaller groups. For example, instead of remembering a phone number as eleven separate digits, you should divide it into three or four parts. 3 Make up a story. 4 Then, link points together to make up an interesting story. The story makes what you want to memorize unforgettable. 5 Our brains need time to store information. In order to form long-term memories, you should review what you’ve learned often. This helps fill the gaps (漏洞) in your knowledge. Even a quick review can make a big difference. A．Review regularly. B．First, list what you need to memorize. C．This makes it much easier to remember a phone number. D．It helps you fully understand and remember what you’ve learned. E．The following methods can help you improve your memory. 四、读写综合 第一节，简答 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 The Fields Medal is often called the “Nobel Prize of maths”, one of the highest honors in the world. It is given out every four years to young mathematicians (数学家) under 40. In 2026, Wang Hong made history. She became the first mathematician from China and the third woman in the world to win the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖). It is admirable for her to win the medal at the age of 35. Wang Hong was born in 1991 in Guilin, Guangxi. At an early age, she had a great interest in learning. When she was 16, she entered Peking University. At first, she studied earth science, but later she changed her major (专业) to maths. However, her journey was not always easy. She sometimes doubted herself and even spent half a year learning architecture (建筑) before returning to maths. After university, she went abroad to study in France and the United States. In 2019, she got her PhD from MIT. Her greatest achievement was proving the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (三维挂谷猜想). It was a famous math problem that mathematicians could not prove for over 100 years. By working together with Joshua Zahl, she developed a new method and finally proved it. Her work has helped scientists explore other difficult problems. Although Wang Hong is famous, she lives a balanced life. She once said, “Rest when you feel tired and study when you have energy.” She exercises regularly and takes breaks when facing difficult problems. After she won the medal, many people felt proud of her. Her story shows that if you never give up, you can shine on the world stage. 1．Who won the Fields Medal in 2026? __________________________________________________________________ 2．How many majors did Wang Hong study at university? __________________________________________________________________ 3．What has Wang Hong’s achievement helped scientists to do? __________________________________________________________________ 4．Do you want to learn from Wang Hong?

They found that students who believe they can become cleverer really do become cleverer. This belief is called a “growth mindset”—the understanding that abilities can be developed through hard work and good strategies. Dr. Carol Dweck, a leading researcher at Stanford University, has spent over 30 years studying how mindset affects learning. In one famous experiment, she gave a group of students a set of challenging puzzles (谜题). After finishing, half of the students were praised for their intelligence (“You must be smart!”) while the other half were praised for their effort (“You must have worked hard!”). The results were very different. Students who were praised for effort were more willing to take on harder challenges later, while those praised for intelligence often gave up when things became difficult. Dweck’s research shows that students with a growth mindset see mistakes as chances to learn. They know that trying hard to solve a problem means they are growing, not failing. On the other hand, students with a “fixed mindset” believe that intelligence is something they are born with. They often stay away from hard challenges because they’re afraid of failure. The good news is that mindsets can change. It’s never too late for people to form a growth mindset. Teachers and parents can help students develop a growth mindset by praising their hard work and learning methods instead of intelligence. This simple way of praise can greatly encourage students to face difficulties bravely. Dr. Dweck believes that everyone has the ability to become a better learner. The key is to face challenges and keep trying. As she often says, “Becoming is better than being.” 1．What is called a “growth mindset”? _____________________________________________________ 2．What were the two groups of students praised for in the experiment? _____________________________________________________ 3．Do students with a fixed mindset enjoy taking hard challenges? _____________________________________________________ 4．How can teachers and parents help students develop a growth mindset? _____________________________________________________ 5．Which mindset do you have, growth mindset or fixed mindset?
