For example, the Silk Road depended on horses 8 (carry) goods (货物) between the East and the West, making horses a true bridge between cultures. Both in the East and the West, horses carry a powerful message. They remind 9 (we) of the human spirit and the 10 (important) of cultural connection.

One important part of it is the four methods doctors use: looking, listening and smelling, asking, and feeling the pulse (脉搏). Looking means doctors look at patients with great care. They check the face colour. If the face is yellowish, it might mean there’s a problem with the spleen (脾). The tongue is also important. They look at the tongue coating, how thick it is and its colour. For example, a thick, white tongue coating may show there’s too much dampness (湿气) in the body. Listening and smelling mean two parts. Doctors listen to patients’ voices. Are they weak or strong? They also listen to coughs to see if it’s a dry cough or a cough with phlegm (痰). And they smell patients’ breath and body smell. A bad-smelling breath might mean there are problems with digestion (消化). Asking means that doctors ask patients lots of questions. They want to know about the symptoms (症状) patients have. They also ask about past illnesses, daily habits like how well they sleep and how often they exercise and what they usually eat. This helps doctors understand the patient’s overall (全面的) health condition. Feeling is a skill. Doctors feel patients’ pulses. A fast pulse can mean the body is too hot or the patient is stressed. They also feel parts of the body, like the stomach, to see if there’s any pain or strange lumps. These four diagnostic (诊断的) ways work together. They help doctors find out what illnesses patients have and make good treatment plans. They are a very important part of Chinese medical culture. They show how smart our ancestors were in understanding and treating the human body. 1．What does the underlined phrase “tongue coating” mean in Chinese? A．鼻腔 B．舌苔 C．印记 D．穴位 2．Why do doctors ask patients about eating and sleeping habits? A．To understand patients’ feelings directly. B．To find out patients’ sleeping trouble. C．To check patients’ past serious illnesses. D．To know patients’ health condition better. 3．What can we know from the passage? A．Strong voices show people are in poor health. B．A fast pulse usually means the patient is relaxed. C．People with digestion problems may have bad-smelling breath. D．Traditional Chinese doctors only use one way to check illnesses. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The good treatment plans of TCM doctors. B．Different kinds of common human physical illnesses. C．The long history of Traditional Chinese Medicine. D．Four diagnostic ways of Traditional Chinese Medicine. B （2026·江苏宿迁·中考真题） The year 2026 marks the Year of the Horse in the Chinese lunar calendar. Horses are liked by people all over the world. But how much do you know about them? The eyes of horses are located on the sides of their heads, so they can see almost 360 degrees around themselves. They can move their ears to hear sounds. They can even hear other horses from up to 2 kilometers away. A horse’s lungs can hold about 60 liters of air while a human’s can only hold around 6 liters. This helps horses breathe in lots of oxygen when they run and play. However, they only sleep about 3 hours a day and sometimes sleep standing up. Isn’t it amazing? Though horses may be of less practical importance in modern society, their spirits still run deeply through Chinese culture. We can experience them in many Chinese idioms (习语). A talented person is often called Qianlima, an energetic horse that covers a thousand li a day. If someone takes the lead in an activity, we will say Yimadangxian. Besides, there are also some horse-related English idioms. A dark horse is a little-known person or team that surprises everyone by winning. A workhorse is a person who does a lot of work without complaints. ▲ They can remember their human friends after long periods of separation (分离). Horses are loyal. They stick to their owners through wind and rain and never leave easily. Horses are determined (坚定的). They keep finishing long-distance races no matter how tired they are. People born in the Year of the Horse are said to share such good qualities. So, do you have a friend or a family member who enjoys 2026 as his or her animal year? 1．How does the writer make the facts about horses more interesting in Paragraph 2? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing ideas. C．By asking questions. D．By using time order. 2．What do you call a little-known person who surprises everyone by winning in Paragraph 3? A．Qianlima. B．Yimadangxian. C．A dark horse. D．A workhorse. 3．Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A．Horses are brave. B．Horses are clever. C．Horses are energetic. D．Horses are powerful. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．Horses are easily tired. B．Horses are determined. C．Some horse-related Chinese idioms. D．Some features and spirits of horses. 二、完形填空 （2024·山东烟台·中考真题） I have learned four languages—English, Spanish, French and Chinese.

As the Year of the Horse in 2026 arrives, it is necessary to learn more about 1 (they) roles across different cultures. In Western culture, horses are regarded as 2 (power) animals. In ancient Europe, heroes fought and won with their trusted horses by their side. Even today, in horse racing, people see horses as a symbol 3 speed and victory. However, in Chinese culture, horses carry even more meaningful symbolism (象征). They stand for speed, bravery 4 good luck. It is said that people who were born in the Year of the Horse are probably brave, confident (自信的) and energetic. So far, Chinese people 5 (create) many interesting sayings about horses. “A Horse That Can Cover a Thousand Li in a Day” describes people with great talent, while “Success Arrives with the Horse” is a common wish for friends taking on new challenges. Besides, 6 (horse) were very useful in people’s daily life long ago. In ancient times, they played 7 important role in trade and transportation. For example, the Silk Road depended on horses 8 (carry) goods (货物) between the East and the West, making horses a true bridge between cultures. Both in the East and the West, horses carry a powerful message. They remind 9 (we) of the human spirit and the 10 (important) of cultural connection. They truly express people’s wishes to build a better future together. 【答案】1．their 2．powerful 3．of 4．and 5．have created 6．horses 7．an 8．to carry 9．us 10．importance 【导语】本文主要介绍马在东西方文化中的价值、象征意义，以及马在古代贸易交通里发挥的重要作用。 【详解】1．句意：随着2026年马年的到来，有必要了解它们在不同文化中的角色。名词“roles”前需要填形容词性物主代词，所以填their。 2．句意：在西方文化里，马被视作充满力量的动物。名词“animals”需要用形容词修饰，所以填powerful。 3．句意：甚至到今天，赛马中人们把马看作速度与胜利的象征。固定搭配：a symbol of“……的象征”，所以填of。 4．句意：它们代表速度、勇敢以及好运。并列名词“speed, bravery, good luck”，所以用并列连词and连接。 5．句意：到目前为止，中国人已经创造了许多和马有关的有趣俗语。“So far”（到目前为止），是现在完成时的标志，主语“Chinese people”是复数概念，所以填have created。 6．句意：此外，很久以前马在人们日常生活中非常有用。后面be动词是were，所以主语填复数horses。 7．句意：在古代，它们在贸易和交通方面发挥重要作用。固定搭配：play an important role“发挥重要作用”，important是元音音素开头，所以填不定冠词an。 8．句意：例如，丝绸之路依靠马匹在东西方之间运送货物，让马真正成为文化之间的桥梁。固定搭配：depend on sb/sth to do sth“依靠某人/某物做某事”，不定式作目的状语，所以填to carry。 9．句意：它们让我们想起人类精神以及文化交流的重要性。“remind”是动词，动词后用人称代词宾格，所以填us。 10．句意：它们让我们想起人类精神以及文化交流的重要性。the + 名词 + of，important的名词形式为importance，所以填importance。 2、 阅读理解 A Modesty is a traditional Chinese virtue. If others praise your English, Chinese people often say “No, my English is poor.” to be modest. However, in Canada, people will simply say “Thank you” to accept the praise. This difference does not mean one side is right and the other wrong. It comes from different cultures. When we communicate with foreigners, we need to know these small differences.

One important part of it is the four methods doctors use: looking, listening and smelling, asking, and feeling the pulse (脉搏). Looking means doctors look at patients with great care. They check the face colour. If the face is yellowish, it might mean there’s a problem with the spleen (脾). The tongue is also important. They look at the tongue coating, how thick it is and its colour. For example, a thick, white tongue coating may show there’s too much dampness (湿气) in the body. Listening and smelling mean two parts. Doctors listen to patients’ voices. Are they weak or strong? They also listen to coughs to see if it’s a dry cough or a cough with phlegm (痰). And they smell patients’ breath and body smell. A bad-smelling breath might mean there are problems with digestion (消化). Asking means that doctors ask patients lots of questions. They want to know about the symptoms (症状) patients have. They also ask about past illnesses, daily habits like how well they sleep and how often they exercise and what they usually eat. This helps doctors understand the patient’s overall (全面的) health condition. Feeling is a skill. Doctors feel patients’ pulses. A fast pulse can mean the body is too hot or the patient is stressed. They also feel parts of the body, like the stomach, to see if there’s any pain or strange lumps. These four diagnostic (诊断的) ways work together. They help doctors find out what illnesses patients have and make good treatment plans. They are a very important part of Chinese medical culture. They show how smart our ancestors were in understanding and treating the human body. 1．What does the underlined phrase “tongue coating” mean in Chinese? A．鼻腔 B．舌苔 C．印记 D．穴位 2．Why do doctors ask patients about eating and sleeping habits? A．To understand patients’ feelings directly. B．To find out patients’ sleeping trouble. C．To check patients’ past serious illnesses. D．To know patients’ health condition better. 3．What can we know from the passage? A．Strong voices show people are in poor health. B．A fast pulse usually means the patient is relaxed. C．People with digestion problems may have bad-smelling breath. D．Traditional Chinese doctors only use one way to check illnesses. 4．What’s the passage mainly about? A．The good treatment plans of TCM doctors. B．Different kinds of common human physical illnesses. C．The long history of Traditional Chinese Medicine. D．Four diagnostic ways of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中医“望、闻、问、切”四种诊断方法的具体内容和作用。 【详解】1．由第二段“They look at the tongue coating, how thick it is and its colour.”可知，医生观察的是舌头上覆盖的“苔”，且厚度和颜色是观察重点。结合中医常识，“舌苔”是指舌面上的一层苔状物，“tongue coating”对应的正是“舌苔”。 2．由第四段“They also ask about past illnesses, daily habits like how well they sleep and how often they exercise and what they usually eat. This helps doctors understand the patient’s overall health condition.”可知，询问饮食和睡眠习惯是为了全面了解病人的健康状况。 3．由第三段“A bad-smelling breath might mean there are problems with digestion.”可知，口臭可能意味着消化有问题。 4．文章第一段点明主题“the four methods doctors use: looking, listening and smelling, asking, and feeling the pulse.”，随后四段分别介绍望、闻、问、切四种方法，最后总结四种方法协同作用。 B （2026·江苏宿迁·中考真题） The year 2026 marks the Year of the Horse in the Chinese lunar calendar. Horses are liked by people all over the world. But how much do you know about them? The eyes of horses are located on the sides of their heads, so they can see almost 360 degrees around themselves. They can move their ears to hear sounds. They can even hear other horses from up to 2 kilometers away. A horse’s lungs can hold about 60 liters of air while a human’s can only hold around 6 liters. This helps horses breathe in lots of oxygen when they run and play. However, they only sleep about 3 hours a day and sometimes sleep standing up. Isn’t it amazing? Though horses may be of less practical importance in modern society, their spirits still run deeply through Chinese culture. We can experience them in many Chinese idioms (习语). A talented person is often called Qianlima, an energetic horse that covers a thousand li a day. If someone takes the lead in an activity, we will say Yimadangxian. Besides, there are also some horse-related English idioms. A dark horse is a little-known person or team that surprises everyone by winning. A workhorse is a person who does a lot of work without complaints. ▲ They can remember their human friends after long periods of separation (分离). Horses are loyal. They stick to their owners through wind and rain and never leave easily. Horses are determined (坚定的). They keep finishing long-distance races no matter how tired they are. People born in the Year of the Horse are said to share such good qualities. So, do you have a friend or a family member who enjoys 2026 as his or her animal year? 1．How does the writer make the facts about horses more interesting in Paragraph 2? A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing ideas. C．By asking questions. D．By using time order. 2．What do you call a little-known person who surprises everyone by winning in Paragraph 3? A．Qianlima. B．Yimadangxian. C．A dark horse. D．A workhorse. 3．Which sentence can be put in the “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 4? A．Horses are brave. B．Horses are clever. C．Horses are energetic. D．Horses are powerful. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．Horses are easily tired. B．Horses are determined. C．Some horse-related Chinese idioms. D．Some features and spirits of horses. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，以2026马年为切入点，介绍马的生理特征、与马相关的中英习语、马的优秀精神品质，人们认为属马的人具备这些美好品质。 【详解】1．根据文章第2段“they can see almost 360 degrees around themselves. They can even hear other horses from up to 2 kilometers away. A horse’s lungs can hold about 60 liters of air while a human’s can only hold around 6 liters. However, they only sleep about 3 hours a day and sometimes sleep standing up.”可知，第2段使用大量具体数字介绍马的特点，作者通过列数字的方式让相关事实更直观有趣。 2．根据文章第3段“A dark horse is a little-known person or team that surprises everyone by winning.”可知，不被人熟知却取胜让人意外的人叫作a dark horse。 3．根据文章第4段空后“They can remember their human friends after long periods of separation.”，由此可知马在长久分离后还能记住人类朋友，体现马很聪明。 4．全文围绕马展开，既介绍了马的生理特征，也讲述了与马相关的习语和马的精神品质，核心内容是马的特征与精神。 二、完形填空 （2024·山东烟台·中考真题） I have learned four languages—English, Spanish, French and Chinese.
