The man was shaking and seemed confused. Without thinking twice, Wang Fang rushed to his side. She found that the man was very weak and had a high fever. She called an ambulance (救护车) at once. While waiting, she took off her own coat to cover him and tried to keep him awake by talking to him softly. She learned that the man, Mr Li, lived alone and had gotten lost on his way to buy simple medicine. The ambulance arrived quickly and took Mr Li to the hospital where Wang Fang worked. The next day, Wang Fang visited Mr Li in the ward (病房). She brought him some warm soup. Mr Li was grateful and held her hand, saying, “You are like a daughter to me.” Wang Fang smiled and checked on him every day during her shifts. She also helped call his relatives who lived in another city. A few weeks later, Mr Li felt well and left the hospital. To express his thanks, he wrote a heartfelt letter to the hospital, praising Wang Fang’s professionalism and kindness. The hospital shared the story on its website, and many people saw it. They were moved by her selfless act. Wang Fang didn’t think she did anything special. “As a nurse, helping people is my duty,” she said. However, her story inspired her workmates to help more people.

It has been even better than I imagined. When I first arrived in China, I was pleasantly surprised. The public transport in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai is excellent. Subways can take you to most places of the city, helping you avoid traffic jams and get around faster. High-speed trains are another great example— they can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in under five hours. Another great thing about China is how easy it is to get services. If my bike breaks and needs fixing, or if I need daily necessities, electronics, or even medicine, I just make a phone call or tap on my phone a few times. Since almost everything can be bought or ordered online, I don’t need to go far to a supermarket or a store. It is one of the main reasons I’ve stayed in China so long—it’s something I haven’t experienced in other countries. What’s more, convenience in China isn’t just about speed—it’s also about being easy to use. The whole system is designed with the user in mind. For example, the apps I use for transport or food delivery (递送) are very simple, even for those who are not good with technology. Payment methods are also simple and easy. You don’t need to spend time learning how to use them. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without trouble. Life in China has become more relaxing and efficient. I believe that as technology continues to develop, life here will become even more convenient in the future. 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 36. How long does it take to travel between Beijing and Shanghai by high-speed train now? A. Less than five hours. B. More than five hours. C. Over six hours. 37. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. People can connect with others by phone. B. People can get whatever they want online. C. People can go anywhere by high-speed train. 38. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 39. Which of the following is most likely to be the writer of this passage? A. Teng Fei, a Chinese who has just returned from abroad. B. Amy, a foreigner who has had a one-week trip to China. C. Yurina, an international student who has been in Beijing for 4 years. 40. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The convenience of living in China. B. The future of technological progress in China. C. The development of high-speed trains in China. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者以自身在华生活的经历，从公共交通便捷、线上服务易得、服务系统易用三个方面介绍了在中国生活的便利之处，表达了对中国生活的认可，并对未来中国生活的便利性做出了展望。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“High-speed trains are another great example— they can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in under five hours.”可知，北京到上海的高铁行程不到五小时。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Since almost everything can be bought or ordered online, I don’t need to go far to a supermarket or a store. It is one of the main reasons I’ve stayed in China so long”可知，It指代前文提到的“几乎所有物品都能在线购买或订购”，即人们可以在线上获取所需的各类物品。 【38题详解】 篇章结构题。结合全文内容，根据第一段“Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be.”、第五段“Life in China has become more relaxing and efficient. I believe that as technology continues to develop, life here will become even more convenient in the future.”以及中间三段的分点论述可知，文章为“总-分-总”结构：第一段总起点明核心观点，第二三四段从不同角度具体阐述，第五段总结全文并展望，与选项B的结构一致。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be.”、第三段“it’s something I haven’t experienced in other countries”以及“I’ve stayed in China so long”可知，作者是长期在中国生活的外国人，符合在北京待了4年的国际学生的身份。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文内容，文章开篇点明在中国生活十分便利，中间从多个方面具体阐述便利的体现，结尾总结并展望未来，全文围绕“在中国生活的便利性”展开。 D It’s believed that hard work was the same as being clever. At the start of Grade Nine, I spent a whole weekend copying every maths problem from the exercise book three times. My hand hurt, but I felt happy and hopeful. ____41____ I wondered why my “hard work” didn’t work and felt really confused. A big change came in Wednesday’s English class. Instead of explaining the text directly, Ms Li showed us a short video about a sea park. ____42____ Then we worked in groups to discuss the animals’ problems and gave protection advice in English. We used dictionaries and drew pictures to express our ideas. To my surprise, I remembered all the difficult words easily when I reported our plan. This relaxing way of learning was great. Suddenly I realized that I only copied knowledge in a boring way before. Real learning needs understanding and using knowledge. ____43____ I did simple small tests at home to understand physics rules. When learning Chinese texts, I tried to imagine the stories and the writers’ feelings. Learning became active and interesting instead of a tiring task. Slowly, my notes were full of mind maps and my own questions instead of empty copies. ____44____ I learned to think and solve them step by step. My grades improved a lot in the final exams. More importantly, my mum said I looked much brighter when studying. ____45____ It’s not about the time you spend, but whether you activate your mind and connect with knowledge. True learning is building our own understanding when we think actively. 根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文语意连贯。选项中有一项为多余项。 A. I decided to change my study habits. B. The beautiful pictures soon caught our attention. C. I usually ask my teachers or classmates for help. D. When facing difficult problems, I no longer felt worried. E. However, the low score on Monday’s test made me very sad. F. This experience taught me that learning smart is more important than working hard. 【答案】41. E 42. B 43. A 44. D 45. F 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在学习方法上的转变以及对“真正学习”的感悟。 【41题详解】 空后“I wondered why my ‘hard work’ didn’t work and felt really confused.”提到作者疑惑自己的“努力”没有效果，E项“然而周一测试的低分让我非常难过”承接前文作者盲目刷题的行为，引出努力无效的困惑，逻辑通顺。 【42题详解】 空前“Ms Li showed us a short video about a sea park”提到李老师给大家放了海洋公园的短视频，B项“这些美丽的画面很快吸引了我们的注意力”承接视频的内容，衔接后续的小组讨论环节。 【43题详解】 空前“Suddenly I realized that I only copied knowledge in a boring way before.”作者意识到之前的学习方式很枯燥，真正的学习需要理解和运用知识，空后列举了作者调整后的各类学习方法，A项“我决定改变我的学习习惯”承上启下。 【44题详解】 空后“I learned to think and solve them step by step.”提到作者学会逐步思考解决问题，D项“当面对难题时，我不再感到焦虑”对应后续积极解决问题的状态，衔接自然。 【45题详解】 空后“It’s not about the time you spend, but whether you activate your mind and connect with knowledge. True learning is building our own understanding when we think actively.”是作者总结的学习感悟，F项“这段经历让我明白聪明地学习比一味努力更重要”引出后文对学习本质的总结，契合语境。 E While there are many methods that can help you remember things better, the most effective ones include making meaningful connections between pieces of information. This idea is called the Baker/ baker paradox (面包师悖论), and it was proved in an experiment. In the experiment, researchers divided people into two groups and showed them a photo of a man’s face. The first group was told the man’s name was Baker, while the second group was told the man worked as a baker. Days later, the researchers asked both groups about the man’s identity (身份). The result was surprising. People remembered the man’s job more easily than his name. Why did this happen? After all, the word “baker” was the same for both groups. Here’s the reason: when you hear that someone works as a baker, your mind connects this fact to a network of meaningful ideas. You might picture someone baking bread, wearing a tall white hat, or smelling of freshly baked goods. These connections create a story in your brain, making the information easier to recall. In fact, the name “Baker” doesn’t form the same kind of meaningful connections. It’s only linked to the man’s face, which is a weak connection. If you forget the face, you may also forget the name completely. The Baker/ baker paradox shows that memory works best when new information is tied to meaningful stories or images. So, if you want to remember something better, try linking it to a story or something familiar. This simple trick can make all the difference. 根据语篇内容回答问题。(1、2、4题答案不超过3个词，3、5题答案不超过13个词) 46. What did people in the first group know about the man besides the man’s face? ________________________________________________________ 47. Which group remembered the man’s information more easily? ________________________________________________________ 48. How might people picture a baker according to the passage? ________________________________________________________ 49. What is the connection between the name “Baker” and the man’s face like? ________________________________________________________ 50. When does memory work best according to the Baker/baker paradox? ________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. His name./The man’s name. 47. The second group. 48.

She is always kind and caring to her patients. One cold winter night in 2025, she was walking home after a long shift when she saw an old man lying on the sidewalk. The man was shaking and seemed confused. Without thinking twice, Wang Fang rushed to his side. She found that the man was very weak and had a high fever. She called an ambulance (救护车) at once. While waiting, she took off her own coat to cover him and tried to keep him awake by talking to him softly. She learned that the man, Mr Li, lived alone and had gotten lost on his way to buy simple medicine. The ambulance arrived quickly and took Mr Li to the hospital where Wang Fang worked. The next day, Wang Fang visited Mr Li in the ward (病房). She brought him some warm soup. Mr Li was grateful and held her hand, saying, “You are like a daughter to me.” Wang Fang smiled and checked on him every day during her shifts. She also helped call his relatives who lived in another city. A few weeks later, Mr Li felt well and left the hospital. To express his thanks, he wrote a heartfelt letter to the hospital, praising Wang Fang’s professionalism and kindness. The hospital shared the story on its website, and many people saw it. They were moved by her selfless act. Wang Fang didn’t think she did anything special. “As a nurse, helping people is my duty,” she said. However, her story inspired her workmates to help more people. It also encouraged many young people to consider a career in nursing. Wang Fang continues to work hard, proving that ordinary people can do great things with a kind heart. 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 31. What does the underlined word “shift” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. A period of work time. B. A change of clothes. C. A type of medical treatment. 32. What is the right order of the following events? a. Wang Fang called an ambulance. b. Wang Fang saw an old man lying on the sidewalk. c. Wang Fang visited Mr Li in the hospital. d. Wang Fang took off her coat to cover the man. A. b→d→a→c B. b→a→d→c C. d→b→a→c 33. Why did Mr Li write a letter to the hospital? A. To express his thanks to Wang Fang. B. To make people moved by Wang Fang’s act. C. To greet Wang Fang and inspire other people. 34. What can we infer from Wang Fang’s words “As a nurse, helping people is my duty”? A. She was tired of her job. B. She hoped to get a reward or a prize. C. She believed she was just doing her job 35. What’s the best title for the passage? A. A Cold Winter Night B. The Life of a Nurse C. An Act of Kindness C Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be. It has been even better than I imagined. When I first arrived in China, I was pleasantly surprised. The public transport in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai is excellent. Subways can take you to most places of the city, helping you avoid traffic jams and get around faster. High-speed trains are another great example— they can take you from Beijing to Shanghai in under five hours. Another great thing about China is how easy it is to get services. If my bike breaks and needs fixing, or if I need daily necessities, electronics, or even medicine, I just make a phone call or tap on my phone a few times. Since almost everything can be bought or ordered online, I don’t need to go far to a supermarket or a store. It is one of the main reasons I’ve stayed in China so long—it’s something I haven’t experienced in other countries. What’s more, convenience in China isn’t just about speed—it’s also about being easy to use. The whole system is designed with the user in mind. For example, the apps I use for transport or food delivery (递送) are very simple, even for those who are not good with technology. Payment methods are also simple and easy. You don’t need to spend time learning how to use them. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without trouble. Life in China has become more relaxing and efficient. I believe that as technology continues to develop, life here will become even more convenient in the future. 根据语篇内容选择最佳答案。 36. How long does it take to travel between Beijing and Shanghai by high-speed train now? A. Less than five hours. B. More than five hours. C. Over six hours. 37. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. People can connect with others by phone. B. People can get whatever they want online. C. People can go anywhere by high-speed train. 38. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. 39. Which of the following is most likely to be the writer of this passage? A. Teng Fei, a Chinese who has just returned from abroad. B. Amy, a foreigner who has had a one-week trip to China. C. Yurina, an international student who has been in Beijing for 4 years. 40. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The convenience of living in China. B. The future of technological progress in China. C. The development of high-speed trains in China. D It’s believed that hard work was the same as being clever. At the start of Grade Nine, I spent a whole weekend copying every maths problem from the exercise book three times. My hand hurt, but I felt happy and hopeful. ____41____ I wondered why my “hard work” didn’t work and felt really confused. A big change came in Wednesday’s English class. Instead of explaining the text directly, Ms Li showed us a short video about a sea park. ____42____ Then we worked in groups to discuss the animals’ problems and gave protection advice in English. We used dictionaries and drew pictures to express our ideas. To my surprise, I remembered all the difficult words easily when I reported our plan. This relaxing way of learning was great. Suddenly I realized that I only copied knowledge in a boring way before. Real learning needs understanding and using knowledge. ____43____ I did simple small tests at home to understand physics rules. When learning Chinese texts, I tried to imagine the stories and the writers’ feelings. Learning became active and interesting instead of a tiring task. Slowly, my notes were full of mind maps and my own questions instead of empty copies. ____44____ I learned to think and solve them step by step. My grades improved a lot in the final exams. More importantly, my mum said I looked much brighter when studying. ____45____ It’s not about the time you spend, but whether you activate your mind and connect with knowledge. True learning is building our own understanding when we think actively. 根据语篇内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文语意连贯。选项中有一项为多余项。 A. I decided to change my study habits. B. The beautiful pictures soon caught our attention. C. I usually ask my teachers or classmates for help. D. When facing difficult problems, I no longer felt worried. E. However, the low score on Monday’s test made me very sad. F. This experience taught me that learning smart is more important than working hard. E While there are many methods that can help you remember things better, the most effective ones include making meaningful connections between pieces of information. This idea is called the Baker/ baker paradox (面包师悖论), and it was proved in an experiment. In the experiment, researchers divided people into two groups and showed them a photo of a man’s face. The first group was told the man’s name was Baker, while the second group was told the man worked as a baker. Days later, the researchers asked both groups about the man’s identity (身份). The result was surprising. People remembered the man’s job more easily than his name. Why did this happen? After all, the word “baker” was the same for both groups. Here’s the reason: when you hear that someone works as a baker, your mind connects this fact to a network of meaningful ideas. You might picture someone baking bread, wearing a tall white hat, or smelling of freshly baked goods. These connections create a story in your brain, making the information easier to recall. In fact, the name “Baker” doesn’t form the same kind of meaningful connections. It’s only linked to the man’s face, which is a weak connection. If you forget the face, you may also forget the name completely. The Baker/ baker paradox shows that memory works best when new information is tied to meaningful stories or images. So, if you want to remember something better, try linking it to a story or something familiar. This simple trick can make all the difference. 根据语篇内容回答问题。(1、2、4题答案不超过3个词，3、5题答案不超过13个词) 46. What did people in the first group know about the man besides the man’s face? ________________________________________________________ 47.
