Passage1
Visiting ancestors’ graves (坟墓) has become a new trend among young people in China this year: They go to these old tombs not just to remember the dead, but also to connect with the past and learn more about themselves, as Wang Xin reports in Shanghai.
Ma Xin, a Chinese teacher in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, visited the Two Mausoleums of the Southern Tang Dynasty (937-975) for the 72nd time during this year’s Qingming Festival. It has long been a tradition for Chinese people to visit their family graves during Qingming, but now, more and more young people are flocking to the ancient tombs of famous historical figures instead. They hope to connect with “ancestors” in a broader sense, and build a bridge between history and their modern lives.
As a history lover focusing on the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ma feels a special connection to Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Over the past decade, she has explored almost every place related to Li Yu. The two graves she visits so often are the final resting place of Li’s parents and grandparents. They were supposed to be Li Yu’s resting place too — but he isn’t there. Li Yu, who was also a poet, is widely known and loved for his beautiful, romantic poems. But Ma sees far more than that in the ruler who lost his kingdom, and she has been inspired by this distant historical figure throughout her life.
Many young people share similar feelings. They do not visit these tombs just for fun. Instead, they see them as a quiet way to “talk” to history. Standing in front of these old stone tombs, they think about the people who once lived, their stories, and their own lives today. For Ma, every visit to the mausoleums is like a conversation with Li Yu. “It helps me understand my own life better,” she says. This kind of connection with the past gives young people a new way to see the world and their place in it.
【翻译】
今年,祭扫先贤古墓在中国年轻人中成为一种新潮流:正如驻上海记者王欣报道的那样,他们前往这些古老墓葬,不只是缅怀逝者,更是与过去对话,进一步认识自我。
江苏南京的语文老师马欣,在今年清明期间第 72 次探访南唐二陵(937–975 年)。清明祭扫自家祖坟本是中国由来已久的传统,但如今越来越多年轻人转而前往历史名人的古墓。他们希望在更广义的层面与 “先贤” 产生共鸣,搭建起历史与现代生活之间的桥梁。
马欣是南唐历史爱好者,和五代十国时期南唐后主李煜有着特殊的情感联结。过去十年,她几乎走遍了所有和李煜相关的地方。她频繁探访的这两座陵墓,是李煜父母与祖父母的安息之地。这里原本也该是李煜的长眠之处 —— 但他并没有葬于此。李煜同时也是一位诗人,以优美婉约的诗词被大众熟知和喜爱。但在这位亡国君主身上,马欣看到的远不止这些,这位遥远的历史人物始终激励着她。
很多年轻人有着相似的感受。他们探访古墓并非只为消遣。相反,他们把这当作一种安静的方式,和历史 “对话”。站在古老的石墓前,他们回想曾经鲜活的古人、他们的故事,也思考当下自己的人生。对马欣来说,每一次探访陵墓都如同和李煜交谈。“这帮助我更好地理解自己的人生。” 她说。这种和过往的联结,给年轻人提供了全新视角,去看待世界以及自身的位置。

Passage2
①On a spring morning, Egyptians gather in parks and along the riverside of the Nile. They hold plates of fesikh—a traditional fish dish that lies at the heart of Sham El-Nessim, a festival with a history of thousands of years.
②Though not well-known outside Egypt, this 5,000-year-old celebration means “the smell of the breeze” in English. It marks the arrival of spring with customs and brings people of all classes and ages together. Sham El-Nessim began as Shemu, an ancient Egyptian harvest festival that honored the life-giving floods of the Nile and the rebirth of the land.
③Fesikh is the most important part of the festival. It is made of grey mullet (鲻鱼) that’s cleaned, dried and kept in salt for 45 days. “Without fesikh, Sham El-Nessim wouldn’t be Sham El-Nessim,” a local Egyptian said. “Our grandparents ate this. Their grandparents did so. It’s not just food, it’s our treasure on a plate.”
④However, improperly cured (腌制) fish can cause illness. So every year, Egypt’s Ministry of Health gives warnings about the dangers of poorly prepared fesikh. As a result, though fesikh remains a symbol of the festival, younger Egyptians are turning to renga, a smoked herring (鲱鱼) introduced in the early 20th century as a gentler choice. “Renga is less salty, but it still carries the spirit of the festival,” a seller said.
⑤Whether enjoyed with fesikh or renga, Sham El-Nessim brings a precious (宝贵的) moment of togetherness to Egypt, where people from all walks of life get together. More than just a seasonal holiday, Sham El-Nessim also bridges the worlds of the past and present. In every breeze and every bite of salty fish, old traditions remind us that some things are too dear to lose.
【翻译】
在一个春日的清晨,埃及人聚集在公园以及尼罗河畔。他们端着一盘盘菲西克鱼 —— 这是一道传统鱼料理,也是闻风节的核心美食,闻风节是一个拥有数千年历史的节日。
虽然在埃及之外知名度不高,但这个有着 5000 年历史的节日,英文含义是 “微风的气息”。它用各类习俗标志春天到来,让各个阶层、各个年龄段的人们欢聚在一起。闻风节起源于古埃及的谢穆节,是一个丰收节日,用来致敬滋养万物的尼罗河洪水与大地的复苏。
菲西克鱼是这个节日最重要的组成部分。它由鲻鱼制成,经过清洗、风干,再用盐腌制 45 天。一位埃及当地人说:“没有菲西克鱼,闻风节就称不上闻风节。我们的祖辈吃这个,祖辈的祖辈也吃。它不只是食物,更是盘中珍宝。”
然而,腌制不当的鱼会引发疾病。所以每年埃及卫生部都会发出警示,提醒大家制作不合格的菲西克鱼存在风险。因此,尽管菲西克鱼依旧是节日的象征,年轻的埃及人开始选择伦加鱼,这是一种 20 世纪初传入的烟熏鲱鱼,口味更加温和。一位摊主说:“伦加鱼没那么咸,但依旧承载着这个节日的精神。”
无论享用菲西克鱼还是伦加鱼,闻风节都为埃及人带来珍贵的团聚时刻,各行各业的人们在此相聚。它不只是一个时令节日,还搭建起连接过去与现在的桥梁。阵阵微风、一口咸香鱼肉之中,古老传统提醒我们:有些事物无比珍贵,不容遗失。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍中国的重阳节,讲解它的时间、传统习俗,同时告诉我们尊敬老人是中华民族的美德。
1.句意:爸爸们有父亲节。妈妈们有母亲节。孩子们有儿童节。 根据“Dads have Father’s Day. Moms have … Day. Kids have Children’s Day.”可知,前后句式并列,父亲节、母亲节、儿童节一一对应。mother表示“母亲”,Mother’s Day是“母亲节”,节日专有名词,要用名词所有格形式。故填Mother’s。
2.句意:这个节日在农历九月初九。 根据常识,重阳节是农历九月初九,日期表达要用序数词,nine的序数词是ninth。
3.句意:它是中国的传统节日之一。one of后接名词复数,空格修饰名词festivals需要形容词。前文提到“重阳节”属于中国特有节日,所以是中国的传统节日。tradition的形容词形式traditional意为“传统的”。
4.句意:我们借重阳节来表达我们对老年人长寿的祝愿。our后接名词,此处表达对老人长寿的祝愿,show one’s wishes for… 意为“表达对…… 的祝愿”,wish表示祝愿,our后面接名词复数,wish表示“祝愿”时常用复数wishes。

9.句意:当年轻人向长辈递东西时,应该使用双手。 此处是被动语态,结构为“be+过去分词”。向长辈递东西时,应当使用双手,use表示“使用”,过去分词是used。
10.句意:在拥挤的地铁或者公交车上,年轻人总是给老人让座。空格修饰名词,需要形容词。让座通常发生在“拥挤的”公共交通工具上,名词crowd需变为形容词crowded,意为“拥挤的”。

五、任务型阅读
Passage 9
(2026·山东滨州·二模)阅读下面短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题,并将答案写到答题卡的相应位置。
In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. It is the following day after Christmas Day. In fact, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by an important person on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed (封印) up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. The people put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they offer gifts to the poor to help families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
1.what day will the public holiday be?
2.What would sailors do for a safe return in one origin thought?
3.How many thoughts about the origin of Boxing Day are mentioned?
4.Please give a proper title to the passage.
5.If you spend Boxing Day in Britain, what activity would you like to do? Why?
【答案】1.On Monday. 2.They would drop money into the box. 3.Two. 4.Boxing Day. 5.I would like to spend time with family. Because it is important to be with loved ones.(回答合理即可)
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国节礼日(Boxing Day)的时间规定、起源传说以及现代的庆祝方式。
1.根据文章第1段“When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.”可知,若圣诞节是周六,则 12 月 26 日节礼日为周日,公共假日庆祝时间应顺延至周一。
2.根据文章第2段“Those sailors who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box.”可知水手们为了平安归来会往箱子里投钱。
3.根据文章第2段“One of the thoughts is that…”和第3段“One more thought is about…”可推知文章共提到了两种关于节礼日起源的说法。
4.通读全文可知,文章围绕英国的“节礼日”展开,介绍了其时间、起源及活动,因此最合适的标题是“节礼日”。
5.根据文章第4段“spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.”可知可以选择与家人共度时光,理由言之有理即可。

Passage1
Visiting ancestors’ graves (坟墓) has become a new trend among young people in China this year: They go to these old tombs not just to remember the dead, but also to connect with the past and learn more about themselves, as Wang Xin reports in Shanghai.
Ma Xin, a Chinese teacher in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, visited the Two Mausoleums of the Southern Tang Dynasty (937-975) for the 72nd time during this year’s Qingming Festival. It has long been a tradition for Chinese people to visit their family graves during Qingming, but now, more and more young people are flocking to the ancient tombs of famous historical figures instead. They hope to connect with “ancestors” in a broader sense, and build a bridge between history and their modern lives.
As a history lover focusing on the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ma feels a special connection to Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Over the past decade, she has explored almost every place related to Li Yu. The two graves she visits so often are the final resting place of Li’s parents and grandparents. They were supposed to be Li Yu’s resting place too — but he isn’t there. Li Yu, who was also a poet, is widely known and loved for his beautiful, romantic poems. But Ma sees far more than that in the ruler who lost his kingdom, and she has been inspired by this distant historical figure throughout her life.
Many young people share similar feelings. They do not visit these tombs just for fun. Instead, they see them as a quiet way to “talk” to history. Standing in front of these old stone tombs, they think about the people who once lived, their stories, and their own lives today. For Ma, every visit to the mausoleums is like a conversation with Li Yu. “It helps me understand my own life better,” she says. This kind of connection with the past gives young people a new way to see the world and their place in it.

今年,祭扫先贤古墓在中国年轻人中成为一种新潮流:正如驻上海记者王欣报道的那样,他们前往这些古老墓葬,不只是缅怀逝者,更是与过去对话,进一步认识自我。
江苏南京的语文老师马欣,在今年清明期间第 72 次探访南唐二陵(937–975 年)。清明祭扫自家祖坟本是中国由来已久的传统,但如今越来越多年轻人转而前往历史名人的古墓。他们希望在更广义的层面与 “先贤” 产生共鸣,搭建起历史与现代生活之间的桥梁。
马欣是南唐历史爱好者,和五代十国时期南唐后主李煜有着特殊的情感联结。过去十年,她几乎走遍了所有和李煜相关的地方。她频繁探访的这两座陵墓,是李煜父母与祖父母的安息之地。这里原本也该是李煜的长眠之处 —— 但他并没有葬于此。李煜同时也是一位诗人,以优美婉约的诗词被大众熟知和喜爱。但在这位亡国君主身上,马欣看到的远不止这些,这位遥远的历史人物始终激励着她。
很多年轻人有着相似的感受。他们探访古墓并非只为消遣。相反,他们把这当作一种安静的方式,和历史 “对话”。站在古老的石墓前,他们回想曾经鲜活的古人、他们的故事,也思考当下自己的人生。对马欣来说,每一次探访陵墓都如同和李煜交谈。“这帮助我更好地理解自己的人生。” 她说。这种和过往的联结,给年轻人提供了全新视角,去看待世界以及自身的位置。

Passage2
①On a spring morning, Egyptians gather in parks and along the riverside of the Nile. They hold plates of fesikh—a traditional fish dish that lies at the heart of Sham El-Nessim, a festival with a history of thousands of years.
②Though not well-known outside Egypt, this 5,000-year-old celebration means “the smell of the breeze” in English. It marks the arrival of spring with customs and brings people of all classes and ages together. Sham El-Nessim began as Shemu, an ancient Egyptian harvest festival that honored the life-giving floods of the Nile and the rebirth of the land.
③Fesikh is the most important part of the festival. It is made of grey mullet (鲻鱼) that’s cleaned, dried and kept in salt for 45 days. “Without fesikh, Sham El-Nessim wouldn’t be Sham El-Nessim,” a local Egyptian said. “Our grandparents ate this. Their grandparents did so. It’s not just food, it’s our treasure on a plate.”
④However, improperly cured (腌制) fish can cause illness. So every year, Egypt’s Ministry of Health gives warnings about the dangers of poorly prepared fesikh. As a result, though fesikh remains a symbol of the festival, younger Egyptians are turning to renga, a smoked herring (鲱鱼) introduced in the early 20th century as a gentler choice. “Renga is less salty, but it still carries the spirit of the festival,” a seller said.
⑤Whether enjoyed with fesikh or renga, Sham El-Nessim brings a precious (宝贵的) moment of togetherness to Egypt, where people from all walks of life get together. More than just a seasonal holiday, Sham El-Nessim also bridges the worlds of the past and present. In every breeze and every bite of salty fish, old traditions remind us that some things are too dear to lose.
【翻译】
在一个春日的清晨,埃及人聚集在公园以及尼罗河畔。他们端着一盘盘菲西克鱼 —— 这是一道传统鱼料理,也是闻风节的核心美食,闻风节是一个拥有数千年历史的节日。
虽然在埃及之外知名度不高,但这个有着 5000 年历史的节日,英文含义是 “微风的气息”。它用各类习俗标志春天到来,让各个阶层、各个年龄段的人们欢聚在一起。闻风节起源于古埃及的谢穆节,是一个丰收节日,用来致敬滋养万物的尼罗河洪水与大地的复苏。
菲西克鱼是这个节日最重要的组成部分。它由鲻鱼制成,经过清洗、风干,再用盐腌制 45 天。一位埃及当地人说:“没有菲西克鱼,闻风节就称不上闻风节。我们的祖辈吃这个,祖辈的祖辈也吃。它不只是食物,更是盘中珍宝。”
然而,腌制不当的鱼会引发疾病。所以每年埃及卫生部都会发出警示,提醒大家制作不合格的菲西克鱼存在风险。因此,尽管菲西克鱼依旧是节日的象征,年轻的埃及人开始选择伦加鱼,这是一种 20 世纪初传入的烟熏鲱鱼,口味更加温和。一位摊主说:“伦加鱼没那么咸,但依旧承载着这个节日的精神。”
无论享用菲西克鱼还是伦加鱼,闻风节都为埃及人带来珍贵的团聚时刻,各行各业的人们在此相聚。它不只是一个时令节日,还搭建起连接过去与现在的桥梁。阵阵微风、一口咸香鱼肉之中,古老传统提醒我们:有些事物无比珍贵,不容遗失。

In Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th. It is the following day after Christmas Day. In fact, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.
The origin (起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by an important person on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to have a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed (封印) up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the important person. But he wouldn’t open it to share them with the poor until Christmas.
One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. The people put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.
Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day. They give away their time, services and money to Food Banks. And they offer gifts to the poor to help families in need. Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.
