This extremely hard journey tells us a simple truth: if we hold strong faith in our hearts, we will have enough power to keep moving forward. The Long March began in 1934. The Red Army set out from southern China in four groups and took different routes. The Central Red Army finished the longest journey of 25,000 li, so people name it the “25,000-li Long March”. All four groups covered 65,000 li in total. They walked about 37 kilometres each day and crossed 14 provinces. Many Red Army soldiers were surprisingly young. Their average age was 22, and more than 40 percent of them were between 14 and 18 years old. People called them “little red soldiers”. The youngest soldier Xiang Xuan was only 9. He ran through heavy gunfire to send important messages. Wang Xinlan was just 11 when the Long March ended. She sang warm songs to cheer up tired soldiers. Some young kids looked after sick soldiers, and some even fought enemies. Their guns were taller than themselves. The oldest soldier Xu Teli was 58 years old. In May 1935, the Red Army arrived in Sichuan. They climbed over more than 20 snow mountains over 4,000 metres high. On the mountain tops, the air was thin and freezing. The soldiers only wore thin clothes. Then they entered the Songpan Grasslands, which were filled with dangerous swamps（沼泽）. Once someone fell into the swamp, it was almost impossible to get out. Wild plants and dirty water often made them sick. Many soldiers lost their lives from hunger and bad weather. Most soldiers wore straw sandals （草鞋）they made by themselves. The sandals broke easily, so they kept making new ones during rest. They also had simple tools and little food. Worse still, they faced repeated attacks from the Kuomintang army. They took part in over 600 battles. However, only a few soldiers had guns, and bullets were not enough. They lost many brave soldiers in the battle along the Xiangjiang River. Later, Mao Zedong led the Red Army to cross the Chishui River four times and broke through the enemy’s blockade. Even in such hard conditions, the soldiers never stopped learning and relaxing. They learned to read and write from boards hung on other soldiers’ backs. They even held sports meetings. In 1936, the main Red Army groups met in Gansu and Ningxia. The Long March came to an end. They built their new base in Yan’an. The pagoda（宝塔）on Baota Mountain is now its famous symbol. The great Long March spirit will keep encouraging us forever. 1.What can we learn about the young soldiers? A. Every young soldier’s gun was taller than himself. B. Some young soldiers played different roles to help the Red Army. C. All “little red soldiers” joined the army at the age of 14. D. The youngest soldier Xiang Xuan died when he sent messages. 2.Why did many soldiers lose their lives in the Songpan Grasslands? A. Because there were too many enemy soldiers hiding there. B. Because the local people refused to give them food. C. Because swamps, bad food and terrible weather brought great danger. D. Because they fell off the high snow mountains. 3.What can we know from the passage? A. The soldiers stopped making straw sandals after they entered Sichuan. B. The Red Army valued learning and tried to keep active even in terrible situations. C. Sports meetings were held mainly to train soldiers for future battles. D. The Red Army could get little food and warm clothes in the grasslands. 4. Which of the following statements is right? A. After crossing the snow mountains and grasslands, the Long March came to an end. B. The Red Army finished the whole journey in one single group. C. The youngest soldiers also had to fight against the enemies. D. After crossing the Chishui River four times, the Red Army broke through the enemy. 5.What is the main idea of the passage? A. The Long March was a long trip full of natural difficulties. B. It introduces the Long March, its experiences and the spirit. C. Many young soldiers took part in the famous Long March. D. The Red Army won many battles against the enemy. B ①From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, real-time translation helped by AI has become part of our daily life. If machines can translate more quickly and correctly than people, is it still worth spending years learning a foreign language? ②This idea sounds good. People have always used tools to help with brain work: writing helps us remember things better, and calculators save us from doing difficult math in our heads …However, there is a great difference between using a tool to improve your skills and using it to stop yourself from trying something completely. ③Hard work is very important in our study. Some difficult work may seem slow, but it helps us remember and understand things better for a long time. Scientists name this "useful difficulty". For example, working hard on grammar, looking for proper words and building ideas in different languages. They wake up the parts of our brain that help us remember, pay attention and think freely, so we can learn knowledge much better. ④Using more than one language also helps our brain keep working well when we grow older. It makes our brain keep dealing with different languages, understand the situation and change quickly. These are not easy jobs, and we cannot get such good results if we only use translation tools without thinking. ⑤We have done a new study to learn more about these good points. Earlier studies simply talk about the good sides of learning two languages, but we find that language learning works in more special ways. We studied 94 grown-ups from 18 to 83 years old. Among them, 24 speak only one language and 70 speak more than one. ⑥To see how they deal with information they see and information they hear, we let them finish tasks such as remembering sounds or watching picture groups carefully. ⑦Most volunteers got close marks in most tasks. But those who have learned more languages, especially older ones, did much better in remembering what they see. It shows that learning many languages cannot improve all brain skills, but it may help keep some special brain abilities. ⑧Besides, learning a language means knowing others’ ideas, values and how history changes the meaning of words. We get such cultural knowledge by talking with others. We cannot fully depend on AI translation machines to get this. 1.What opinion does the writer express by “useful difficulty”? A. Hard work is important for training our will. B. Learners may make slow progress when facing difficult tasks. C. Difficulties are unavoidable and we should try to overcome them. D. Some challenging learning tasks can bring long‑term learning benefits. 2. What can we know about the study in the passage? A. Multilingual (多语言的) people perform better in all brain tasks. B. The study only concentrates on people at an old age. C. Being multilingual helps old people keep some special brain abilities. D. The study mainly tells us how to learn foreign languages well. 3.What can we know from the passage? A. AI translation can fully pass on cultural messages. B. Cultural understanding needs real communication between people. C. Over‑depending on AI translation will make us forget all foreign words. D. History changes the meanings of all words all the time. 4.Which of the following statements about the structure of the passage is TRUE? A. ⑧ is the final conclusion drawn from the experiment ⑤⑥⑦. B. ③ and ④ are two parallel （平行）reasons supporting the general opinion ②. C. ① gives the writer’s main opinion after raising a question. D. Paragraphs ⑤⑥ and ⑦ use a study to show that learning many languages can improve brain abilities. 5. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce how AI translation tools are developed. B. To advise people to stop learning foreign languages. C. To explain why we still need to learn foreign languages with AI translation. D. To compare AI translation with human translation in speed. C On October 31, Wang Xiang, deputy chief designer of China’s manned space program and chief designer of the lunar exploration program, showed a full technical plan for manned lunar exploration at the 7th Manned Space Symposium in Beijing. Because of the steady progress in key studies and important tests, China is ready to finish its first manned lunar landing before 2030. The mission uses the plan called “two launches, lunar orbit rendezvous（两次发射、月轨交会对接）”. Two Long March-10 carrier rockets will be sent into space one after another. They will carry the Mengzhou manned spaceship and the Lanyue lunar lander into the orbit between the Earth and the Moon. After the two spaceships reach the lunar orbit, they will meet and connect by themselves. There will be three astronauts in the team. Two of them will get on the Lanyue lander, fly down to the Moon’s surface and do scientific research. The third astronaut will stay in the Mengzhou spaceship in the lunar orbit to help with the mission. Wang said that the whole technical design fits China’s present ability and space equipment. Developing the spaceship and the lander separately is useful and forward-looking. It helps produce spaceships in a standard way and builds a solid technical base for making a series of spaceships later. This will support long-term lunar exploration. Manned lunar exploration brings many difficult technical problems. To solve these problems, China gathers experts and resources from the whole country to develop key technologies quickly. Many important tests have already been finished. They include the zero-height escape test and the highest-pressure escape test of the Mengzhou spaceship, as well as the landing and take-off test of the Lanyue lander. The Long March-10 rocket has also finished its fixed ignition test and low-altitude test. These great achievements show that the research work is moving forward step by step. This new manned lunar mission makes good use of the technology from China’s earlier unmanned lunar programs. It learns a lot from the successful experience of the Chang’e lunar exploration project. This continuous and systematic way shows China’s steady development in deep-space manned exploration. 1. What do we know about the manned lunar mission from the passage? A. One Long March-10 rocket will carry both the spacecraft and the lander B. One astronaut will stay in the spacecraft circling the moon while two land on the lunar surface C. The three astronauts will all land on the moon together to carry out scientific work D. The lander will bring astronauts back to the Mengzhou spacecraft right after surface work 2.What can we infer about the design of the spacecraft and lander? A. It is only made for this one manned lunar landing task. B. It will help China carry out lunar exploration for a longer time. C. It cannot be changed or improved after the first moon landing. D. It is built completely different from the old Chang’e projects. 3.Which of the following statements is right? A. China tries its best to collect different resources to solve hard space technical problems. B. All the tests for the new mission have been fully finished and no more tests are needed. C. The whole technical design is far beyond China’s present space ability. D. The Chang’e projects are useless for the new manned lunar mission. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce the general technical plan of China’s manned lunar landing mission. B. To explain how spaceships meet and join together in space. C. To compare Long March-10 with other carrier rockets around the world. D. To list all kinds of difficult tests for the Long March-10 carrier rocket. 5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The History of China’s Lunar Exploration B. Tests of the Long March-10 Rocket C. China Shows Its Plan for Manned Moon Landing D. Mengzhou and Lanyue: Two New Spacecraft D Karl Bushby Completes Historic 28-Year Goliath Expedition After 28 years of slow and steady progress, former British Army paratrooper Karl Bushby went back to his hometown Hull and finished the Goliath Expedition. He gave this name to this amazing journey, which he finished all by his own power. The trip is 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) long. It passed through four continents one after another: South America, North America, Asia and Europe. This famous long trip came from a simple idea from his father’s birthday card. He made two strict rules for the journey: he could only move forward on foot or by swimming, and he must not use any machines for transport; if he stopped for a rest, he would start again from the exact place where he left off. He pulled a strong special handcart called The Beast to carry all his things. Bushby started his trip from Punta Arenas, Chile, on November 1, 1998. In 2006, together with another explorer Dimitri Kieffer, he crossed the Bering Strait on moving and dangerous sea ice, travelling from Alaska into Asia. Later, some closed land paths made him swim across the Caspian Sea. In October 2026, he swam across the English Channel to get to the British coast, and then walked the last part to Hull. At first, he thought the journey would take about 12 years. However, rough land, hot deserts, thick forests, border rules and lots of paperwork made him stop for a long time unexpectedly. He began with only about $500 and simple camping tools. He kept dealing with tired bodies and great pressure in his mind. Natural risks were only one part of the difficulties. The harder test was the boring same life day after day. “Sometimes the boredom is terrible. You stay in deserts, and the view stays the same for days or even weeks. This can make you feel confused. The Arctic is the same,” Bushby told Reuters. This expedition was not his own success. “People say it takes a whole village to help someone, but truly, people from all over the world helped me arrive here.” Strangers on the way gave him food, places to stay and directions, and helped him get through the hardest parts of the trip. When he arrived, Bushby said his feelings: “It feels great to return to my home land after so many years. It was never easy, and that is the meaning of this trip — to prove I can do more things than I believe. Every one of us can achieve much more than we think.” His journey tells us that long-term success seldom comes from short-time excitement. It comes from keeping your promise, getting through sudden troubles with strong will, and the warm kindness that connects people in different places. 1. What rule did Karl Bushby set for his journey? A. He would change his route once land routes were closed. B. He could only travel on foot or by swimming without motor vehicles. C. He had to finish the whole journey within twelve years. D. He could start from a new place if he took a long break. 2. What can we infer about Karl’s original plan for the journey? A. He expected to finish the trip much earlier than he finally did. B. He was fully prepared for the difficult border paperwork at first. C. He planned to swim across the Caspian Sea and the English Channel from the start. D. He believed he would get lots of money and supplies before setting off. 3.Which of the following statements is right? A. Karl finished the whole journey without any help from other people. B. The boring unchanging scenery was also a great challenge for Karl. C. Karl crossed the Bering Strait alone in the year 2006. D. Karl thought natural dangers were the hardest part of his trip. 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To remind people of risks when crossing the Bering Strait. B. To introduce a historic human-powered expedition and its underlying spirit. C. To encourage readers to try long-distance journeys by themselves. D. To share practical advice on supply preparation for outdoor trips. 5.What is the main message Karl wants to tell us through his story? A. Long-distance travelling is always full of unexpected dangers. B. We can go further than we believe if we keep going bravely. C. It is necessary to make strict rules before every trip. D. People should travel around the world to challenge themselves. E Zhang Xue, the founder of motorcycle maker ZXMOTO, has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest trip on open water by a changed motorcycle. On Oct. 25, 2026, he rode his company’s MX450 motorcycle for 40.74 kilometers on the Jinjiang River in Mayang Miao Autonomous County, his home town in Hunan Province. This new record broke the old one of 31.8 kilometers. A Guinness official watched the whole test and said it was valid. The MX450 was greatly changed for this water challenge. It was equipped with an amphibious ski system and waterproof engine parts so that it could run smoothly on the water. It uses a single-cylinder engine made by his own company, which can produce over 60 horsepower. One big technical difficulty was keeping the power steady and stopping water from getting into the engine. Zhang did not try to push the motorcycle to its top speed on purpose. His most important goal was to finish the whole distance safely. This success put an end to his 17-year long journey. Back in 2009 in Wuyi, Zhejiang Province, 22-year-old Zhang tried the same challenge four times on a simply rebuilt motorcycle. Every try ended with a fall. The farthest he could go was just 20 meters, which was less than his 26-meter goal. As time went by, he helped set up Kove Moto in 2017, and later started his own brand ZXMOTO in 2024. The same engineering skills also worked well on race tracks. ZXMOTO made history at a World Superbike Championship (WSBK) race in the Supersport group. It became the first Chinese maker to win a race in this group. After the successful water ride, Zhang gave himself 99 points out of 100. He left one point for himself to stay modest and not become too confident. He chose his hometown Mayang for this meaningful challenge. He hoped to realize his long-time dream and let more people around the world know his hometown. “Do what you decide to do and keep moving forward,” Zhang once said. 1. What can we know from the passage? A. Zhang’s water challenge was supported by his whole team. B. Zhang stopped trying the water challenge after three failed attempts. C. Zhang did not think he was perfect after the success. D. The new record was created on a river in Zhejiang Province. 2. Why does the writer mention Zhang’s achievement at the WSBK race? A. To show that Zhang’s engineering ability has been proven in another field B. To explain why Zhang began his water motorcycle challenge C. To stress that motorcycle races are far more difficult than water riding D. To show that motorcycle racing brings more public attention 3. What can we infer about Zhang’s idea during the water challenge? A. He wanted to test the motorcycle’s fastest speed as much as possible. B. Safety was more important to him than breaking the record crazily. C. He cared little about whether the engine would get wet in the river. D. He planned to make the motorcycle run as fast as it could. 4. Which of the following statements is right? A. Zhang’s first attempts at the water challenge all failed many years ago. B. Zhang’s earliest water challenge in 2009 reached his 26-meter target. C. ZXMOTO was founded by Zhang as early as the year 2017. D. ZXMOTO was the second Chinese maker to win the WSBK race. 5.Which is the best title for the passage? A. A 17-Year Journey That Led to a New Guinness Record B. How to Make a Motorcycle Run on Open Water C. The Ways to Change a Common Motorcycle D. ZXMOTO: A Famous Chinese Motorcycle Company F A creative short rap video made with AI has become popular all over Chinese social media since late October, 2026. It is one of the most successful cultural works in the country. It got over 120 million views on main short-video platforms in only a few days. It touches the hearts of young people who are facing more and more pressure in daily life. Its name is The OGs. The title comes from a popular word in hip-hop culture. OG means a person who has gone through hard times and won others’ respect. It carries the same meaning as the Chinese phrase “guo lai ren”（过来人）. It refers to people who have pulled through the hardest moments in life. The video was made by Zhe FILM, a creative team from Wuhan. It is set in a virtual （虚拟的）wine house with an open-mic show. Ten characters take turns to rap. Nine of them are historical people, including the poet Du Fu, the great writer Su Shi and the ancient ruler Liu Bang. The tenth one is the mythical hero Sun Wukong. Rather than showing their famous successes, the video talks about their little-known difficulties, loneliness and strong will. It does not give lessons to viewers. Instead, it warms people’s hearts. It connects the hard experiences from hundreds of years ago with the worry many young people feel now. Culture researchers point out that this work comes from the good cooperation between humans and AI. The creator made the key parts of the story, including its plot, feelings and story structure. AI finished the technical work: making pictures, simulating voices and creating music. Many famous Chinese media speak highly of this video. They say it builds a new bridge between traditional culture and young people today. People in this industry hold a fair opinion: this creative style is easy to copy, but its deep feelings and special way of telling stories cannot be copied. As an excellent cultural work with AI’s help, it shows that digital tools can help people bring their true creative ideas to life. 1. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. The word “OG” is created specially for this rap video. B. Lots of young people feel understood after watching this video. C. The video became popular after getting 120 million views in one hour. D. “guo lai ren” means people who have never met any trouble in life. 2. What can we infer about the video’s special way of telling stories? A. It mainly introduces the great achievements of famous historical people. B. It hopes to teach young people strict rules and serious lessons. C. It chooses the hidden pain and persistence of famous people to comfort viewers. D. It only shows the fun and exciting stories of ancient heroes. 3. What can we learn about the ten figures in the video? A. Sun Wukong falls into a different category from the other nine figures. B. All of them are well-known figures recorded in ancient history. C. Sun Wukong acts as the main narrator of the whole video. D. All of them are chosen because of their similar life achievements. 4. Which of the following statements about the creation of the short film is true? A. AI takes charge of designing its emotional tone and story outline. B. Hip-hop artists are invited to finish all the technical work for the creator. C. The creator controls the core creative ideas while AI deals with technical tasks. D.

It means winter is coming and crops harvested in autumn should be kept for later use. 1. ______ However, in fact, Lidong is not the start of winter from the weather scientists’ point of view. The weather changes every year, so the real start of winter may be quite different. Since China has such a large land area, winter does not come on the same day for all places. In ancient China, Lidong was an important festival. The emperor would take a bath and eat simple food before this day. On the day of Lidong, the emperor would lead all his officials to hold a special ceremony to welcome winter. 2. ______ There are many customs during Lidong. Eating dumplings is one of the best-known traditions. It is said that this tradition came from Zhang Zhongjing, a great doctor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He made dumplings with medicine and meat to stop people’s ears from being hurt by cold. There is a well-known saying that if you don’t eat dumplings on Lidong, your ears will be frozen. 3. ______ Pumpkins are picked in summer and saved to eat in winter. 4. ______ They eat meat with lots of energy such as chicken, duck, beef and fish. Some people also cook meat together with traditional Chinese medicine to keep warm and make their bodies stronger. Food customs are different in different parts of China. In Wuxi, people eat sticky rice balls on Lidong. Most local families make sweet or salty rice balls at home. In some northern areas, people show respect to their ancestors on Lidong, hoping for good luck and a good harvest in the next year. 5. ______ A. In Tianjin, pumpkin dumplings are popular on this day. B. This royal ceremony showed ancient people’s respect for the coming season. C. In ancient times, the Chinese people took Lidong to be the beginning of winter. D. People in southeastern China follow the tradition of nourishing their bodies in winter. E. Most traditional Lidong activities are only popular among people in northern China. F. Different kinds of tasty mutton soup are widely served for family gatherings on Lidong. G. These varied customs show how Chinese people connect daily life with solar terms. 四、阅读回答问题 The Power of Words: An Ancient Chinese Proverb There is a thoughtful ancient Chinese proverb, “A kind word brings warmth in freezing winter, while harsh words cause hurt even in hot summer.”（ 良言一句三冬暖，恶语伤人六月寒） Coming from the traditional ancient book Zengguang Xianwen《增广贤文》, this saying has guided people’s behavior for generations. It reminds us that simple words can produce extremely powerful influences on people’s feelings and moods. This proverb uses the contrast of winter and summer to explain the magic of language. Friendly and sincere words can comfort people’s hearts and give them strength when they are down. In contrast, impolite, cold or offensive words leave lasting pain in people’s minds. No matter how warm the weather is, emotional hurt can make someone feel lonely and disappointed for a long time. This wisdom can be perfectly seen in our daily life. For instance, when our family members feel tired from work or housework, a simple word of care and understanding can instantly lift their spirits and ease their stress. Similarly, when friends meet failures or troubles in life, gentle comfort can help them walk out of sadness. However, if we speak casually and sharply to others when we are annoyed, even a brief sentence may break their confidence and hurt their feelings deeply. Words are invisible, but their power is real. Many conflicts and distance between people start with careless and unkind speech. This ancient truth teaches us to control our words and treat everyone with patience and kindness. We should never release our bad moods by hurting others. In short, language is a precious tool for communication. We should always choose warm, polite and encouraging words in daily communication. Only by treating others gently can we build harmonious relationships and bring warmth to the world around us. 1. What does the proverb use to show the great power of language? 2. What may happen to people if they receive impolite and offensive words? 3. When our friends are in trouble and meet failures, what can help them get out of sadness? 4. What can we infer about the power of unkind words from the passage? 5. What is the main lesson the writer wants to tell us? 五、语法填空 The Wisdom of an Ancient Chinese Saying There is a wise ancient Chinese saying: “Going ninety miles of a hundred-mile journey is only half the way.” (行百里者半九十) This meaningful sentence comes from Strategies of the Warring States（战国策）, a classic ancient Chinese historical book1._________ records precious wisdom of our ancestors. This old truth 2.________(use)by teachers to encourage students to keep trying. At first glance, this saying may sound 3.___________(confuse). Why is finishing ninety percent of a journey still only half the work? The old wisdom tells us a simple truth: the final part of any task is always the most difficult and challenging. Many people can keep working hard at the beginning of a goal. However, as they get close to success, they may feel tired, careless or proud, and finally give up halfway. This saying teaches us a 4.__________(value) life lesson. Success never depends on how well we start, but on how firmly we stick to the end. It is easy 5.__________(make) progress in the early stage, yet the last little effort often decides the final result. Plenty of people fail not because they lack ability, 6.________ because they cannot hold on until the very end. This ancient wisdom is still 7._________(extreme) useful for students today. Whether we are learning new knowledge, preparing for exams 8.________ developing hobbies, we should never relax when we are close to our goals. We 9._________ (learn)this important lesson from our own experiences so far. We must stay focused, keep patient and insist on working hard 10____________ we finish everything perfectly. In short, never take the final step lightly.

This extremely hard journey tells us a simple truth: if we hold strong faith in our hearts, we will have enough power to keep moving forward. The Long March began in 1934. The Red Army set out from southern China in four groups and took different routes. The Central Red Army finished the longest journey of 25,000 li, so people name it the “25,000-li Long March”. All four groups covered 65,000 li in total. They walked about 37 kilometres each day and crossed 14 provinces. Many Red Army soldiers were surprisingly young. Their average age was 22, and more than 40 percent of them were between 14 and 18 years old. People called them “little red soldiers”. The youngest soldier Xiang Xuan was only 9. He ran through heavy gunfire to send important messages. Wang Xinlan was just 11 when the Long March ended. She sang warm songs to cheer up tired soldiers. Some young kids looked after sick soldiers, and some even fought enemies. Their guns were taller than themselves. The oldest soldier Xu Teli was 58 years old. In May 1935, the Red Army arrived in Sichuan. They climbed over more than 20 snow mountains over 4,000 metres high. On the mountain tops, the air was thin and freezing. The soldiers only wore thin clothes. Then they entered the Songpan Grasslands, which were filled with dangerous swamps（沼泽）. Once someone fell into the swamp, it was almost impossible to get out. Wild plants and dirty water often made them sick. Many soldiers lost their lives from hunger and bad weather. Most soldiers wore straw sandals （草鞋）they made by themselves. The sandals broke easily, so they kept making new ones during rest. They also had simple tools and little food. Worse still, they faced repeated attacks from the Kuomintang army. They took part in over 600 battles. However, only a few soldiers had guns, and bullets were not enough. They lost many brave soldiers in the battle along the Xiangjiang River. Later, Mao Zedong led the Red Army to cross the Chishui River four times and broke through the enemy’s blockade. Even in such hard conditions, the soldiers never stopped learning and relaxing. They learned to read and write from boards hung on other soldiers’ backs. They even held sports meetings. In 1936, the main Red Army groups met in Gansu and Ningxia. The Long March came to an end. They built their new base in Yan’an. The pagoda（宝塔）on Baota Mountain is now its famous symbol. The great Long March spirit will keep encouraging us forever. 1.What can we learn about the young soldiers? A. Every young soldier’s gun was taller than himself. B.

Many soldiers lost their lives from hunger and bad weather.” 可知，沼泽、恶劣食物和糟糕天气带来巨大危险。故选 C。 3．细节理解题。根据第六段 “Even in such hard conditions, the soldiers never stopped learning and relaxing. They learned to read and write… They even held sports meetings.” 可知，红军重视学习，在恶劣环境下努力保持积极状态。故选 B。 4．细节理解题。根据第五段 “Later, Mao Zedong led the Red Army to cross the Chishui River four times and broke through the enemy’s blockade.” 可知，四渡赤水之后，红军突破敌人封锁。故选 D。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章介绍长征的经过、经历以及长征精神。故选 B。 B ①From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, real-time translation helped by AI has become part of our daily life. If machines can translate more quickly and correctly than people, is it still worth spending years learning a foreign language? ②This idea sounds good. People have always used tools to help with brain work: writing helps us remember things better, and calculators save us from doing difficult math in our heads …However, there is a great difference between using a tool to improve your skills and using it to stop yourself from trying something completely. ③Hard work is very important in our study. Some difficult work may seem slow, but it helps us remember and understand things better for a long time. Scientists name this "useful difficulty". For example, working hard on grammar, looking for proper words and building ideas in different languages. They wake up the parts of our brain that help us remember, pay attention and think freely, so we can learn knowledge much better. ④Using more than one language also helps our brain keep working well when we grow older. It makes our brain keep dealing with different languages, understand the situation and change quickly. These are not easy jobs, and we cannot get such good results if we only use translation tools without thinking. ⑤We have done a new study to learn more about these good points. Earlier studies simply talk about the good sides of learning two languages, but we find that language learning works in more special ways. We studied 94 grown-ups from 18 to 83 years old. Among them, 24 speak only one language and 70 speak more than one. ⑥To see how they deal with information they see and information they hear, we let them finish tasks such as remembering sounds or watching picture groups carefully. ⑦Most volunteers got close marks in most tasks. But those who have learned more languages, especially older ones, did much better in remembering what they see. It shows that learning many languages cannot improve all brain skills, but it may help keep some special brain abilities. ⑧Besides, learning a language means knowing others’ ideas, values and how history changes the meaning of words. We get such cultural knowledge by talking with others. We cannot fully depend on AI translation machines to get this. 1.What opinion does the writer express by “useful difficulty”? A. Hard work is important for training our will. B. Learners may make slow progress when facing difficult tasks. C. Difficulties are unavoidable and we should try to overcome them. D. Some challenging learning tasks can bring long‑term learning benefits. 2. What can we know about the study in the passage? A. Multilingual (多语言的) people perform better in all brain tasks. B. The study only concentrates on people at an old age. C. Being multilingual helps old people keep some special brain abilities. D. The study mainly tells us how to learn foreign languages well. 3.What can we know from the passage? A. AI translation can fully pass on cultural messages. B. Cultural understanding needs real communication between people. C. Over‑depending on AI translation will make us forget all foreign words. D. History changes the meanings of all words all the time. 4.Which of the following statements about the structure of the passage is TRUE? A. ⑧ is the final conclusion drawn from the experiment ⑤⑥⑦. B. ③ and ④ are two parallel （平行）reasons supporting the general opinion ②. C. ① gives the writer’s main opinion after raising a question. D. Paragraphs ⑤⑥ and ⑦ use a study to show that learning many languages can improve brain abilities. 5. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce how AI translation tools are developed. B. To advise people to stop learning foreign languages. C. To explain why we still need to learn foreign languages with AI translation. D. To compare AI translation with human translation in speed. 【答案】DCBBC 【解析】本文探讨在 AI 翻译普及的背景下，我们仍然需要学习外语的原因。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段 “Some difficult work may seem slow, but it helps us remember and understand things better for a long time. Scientists name this "useful difficulty".” 可知，一些有挑战性的学习任务可以带来长期的学习收益。故选 D。 2．细节理解题。根据第七段 “It shows that learning many languages cannot improve all brain skills, but it may help keep some special brain abilities.” 可知，掌握多门语言有助于老年人保留某些特殊大脑能力。故选 C。 3．细节理解题。根据第八段 “Besides, learning a language means knowing others’ ideas, values and how history changes the meaning of words. We get such cultural knowledge by talking with others.” 可知，文化理解需要人与人之间真实的交流。故选 B。 4．篇章结构题。① 引出话题：AI 实时翻译普及，抛出问题 —— 既然机器翻译更快更好，我们还有必要花多年学外语吗？ ② 亮出全文总论点：借助工具提升能力，和完全依赖工具放弃自主学习，二者有巨大区别。也就是：即便有 AI 翻译，我们依然不能放弃学外语。 ③ 理由一：学习中带有挑战的任务（useful difficulty），长期来看有助于我们理解、记忆知识，锻炼大脑。 ④ 理由二：掌握多种语言，有助于大脑在年老后依旧保持良好状态，这点只靠翻译工具无法实现。 👉 ③、④是并列的两个分论点，从大脑学习、大脑衰老两个角度，共同支撑第②段的总观点。 ⑤⑥⑦ 用一项科学实验，为上面的观点提供科学证据支撑； ⑧ 补充新角度：学语言还承载文化理解，文化感悟只能靠人与人真实交流，AI 翻译做不到。 A. ⑧是从⑤⑥⑦实验得出的最终结论 ❌ 错误。⑤⑥⑦只研究语言学习对大脑能力的影响；⑧讲的是语言背后的文化，和这个实验无关，不是该实验的结论。 B. ③ and ④ are two parallel reasons supporting the general opinion ②. ✅ 正确。③、④是两条并列理由，共同支撑第②段的中心看法。 C. ①在提出问题之后给出作者的中心观点 ❌ 错误。①只抛出问题，没有给出观点；作者的核心观点出现在第②段。 D. ❌ 错误。 介绍一项新研究，通过对不同年龄、不同语言数量的成年人开展测试，发现学习多种语言不能提升全部大脑能力，但有助于维持部分特定的大脑记忆能力。 5．写作意图题。全文解释有 AI 翻译的情况下，我们为什么仍然要学习外语。故选 C。 C On October 31, Wang Xiang, deputy chief designer of China’s manned space program and chief designer of the lunar exploration program, showed a full technical plan for manned lunar exploration at the 7th Manned Space Symposium in Beijing. Because of the steady progress in key studies and important tests, China is ready to finish its first manned lunar landing before 2030. The mission uses the plan called “two launches, lunar orbit rendezvous（两次发射、月轨交会对接）”. Two Long March-10 carrier rockets will be sent into space one after another. They will carry the Mengzhou manned spaceship and the Lanyue lunar lander into the orbit between the Earth and the Moon. After the two spaceships reach the lunar orbit, they will meet and connect by themselves. There will be three astronauts in the team. Two of them will get on the Lanyue lander, fly down to the Moon’s surface and do scientific research. The third astronaut will stay in the Mengzhou spaceship in the lunar orbit to help with the mission. Wang said that the whole technical design fits China’s present ability and space equipment. Developing the spaceship and the lander separately is useful and forward-looking. It helps produce spaceships in a standard way and builds a solid technical base for making a series of spaceships later. This will support long-term lunar exploration. Manned lunar exploration brings many difficult technical problems. To solve these problems, China gathers experts and resources from the whole country to develop key technologies quickly. Many important tests have already been finished. They include the zero-height escape test and the highest-pressure escape test of the Mengzhou spaceship, as well as the landing and take-off test of the Lanyue lander. The Long March-10 rocket has also finished its fixed ignition test and low-altitude test. These great achievements show that the research work is moving forward step by step. This new manned lunar mission makes good use of the technology from China’s earlier unmanned lunar programs. It learns a lot from the successful experience of the Chang’e lunar exploration project. This continuous and systematic way shows China’s steady development in deep-space manned exploration. 1. What do we know about the manned lunar mission from the passage? A. One Long March-10 rocket will carry both the spacecraft and the lander B. One astronaut will stay in the spacecraft circling the moon while two land on the lunar surface C. The three astronauts will all land on the moon together to carry out scientific work D. The lander will bring astronauts back to the Mengzhou spacecraft right after surface work 2.What can we infer about the design of the spacecraft and lander? A. It is only made for this one manned lunar landing task. B. It will help China carry out lunar exploration for a longer time. C. It cannot be changed or improved after the first moon landing. D. It is built completely different from the old Chang’e projects. 3.Which of the following statements is right? A. China tries its best to collect different resources to solve hard space technical problems. B. All the tests for the new mission have been fully finished and no more tests are needed. C. The whole technical design is far beyond China’s present space ability. D. The Chang’e projects are useless for the new manned lunar mission. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage? A. To introduce the general technical plan of China’s manned lunar landing mission. B. To explain how spaceships meet and join together in space. C. To compare Long March-10 with other carrier rockets around the world. D. To list all kinds of difficult tests for the Long March-10 carrier rocket. 5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The History of China’s Lunar Exploration B. Tests of the Long March-10 Rocket C. China Shows Its Plan for Manned Moon Landing D.

He gave this name to this amazing journey, which he finished all by his own power. The trip is 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) long. It passed through four continents one after another: South America, North America, Asia and Europe. This famous long trip came from a simple idea from his father’s birthday card. He made two strict rules for the journey: he could only move forward on foot or by swimming, and he must not use any machines for transport; if he stopped for a rest, he would start again from the exact place where he left off. He pulled a strong special handcart called The Beast to carry all his things. Bushby started his trip from Punta Arenas, Chile, on November 1, 1998. In 2006, together with another explorer Dimitri Kieffer, he crossed the Bering Strait on moving and dangerous sea ice, travelling from Alaska into Asia. Later, some closed land paths made him swim across the Caspian Sea. In October 2026, he swam across the English Channel to get to the British coast, and then walked the last part to Hull. At first, he thought the journey would take about 12 years. However, rough land, hot deserts, thick forests, border rules and lots of paperwork made him stop for a long time unexpectedly. He began with only about $500 and simple camping tools. He kept dealing with tired bodies and great pressure in his mind. Natural risks were only one part of the difficulties. The harder test was the boring same life day after day. “Sometimes the boredom is terrible. You stay in deserts, and the view stays the same for days or even weeks. This can make you feel confused. The Arctic is the same,” Bushby told Reuters. This expedition was not his own success. “People say it takes a whole village to help someone, but truly, people from all over the world helped me arrive here.” Strangers on the way gave him food, places to stay and directions, and helped him get through the hardest parts of the trip. When he arrived, Bushby said his feelings: “It feels great to return to my home land after so many years. It was never easy, and that is the meaning of this trip — to prove I can do more things than I believe. Every one of us can achieve much more than we think.” His journey tells us that long-term success seldom comes from short-time excitement. It comes from keeping your promise, getting through sudden troubles with strong will, and the warm kindness that connects people in different places. 1. What rule did Karl Bushby set for his journey? A. He would change his route once land routes were closed. B. He could only travel on foot or by swimming without motor vehicles. C. He had to finish the whole journey within twelve years. D. He could start from a new place if he took a long break. 2. What can we infer about Karl’s original plan for the journey? A. He expected to finish the trip much earlier than he finally did. B. He was fully prepared for the difficult border paperwork at first. C. He planned to swim across the Caspian Sea and the English Channel from the start. D. He believed he would get lots of money and supplies before setting off. 3.Which of the following statements is right? A. Karl finished the whole journey without any help from other people. B. The boring unchanging scenery was also a great challenge for Karl. C. Karl crossed the Bering Strait alone in the year 2006. D. Karl thought natural dangers were the hardest part of his trip. 4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To remind people of risks when crossing the Bering Strait. B. To introduce a historic human-powered expedition and its underlying spirit. C. To encourage readers to try long-distance journeys by themselves. D. To share practical advice on supply preparation for outdoor trips. 5.What is the main message Karl wants to tell us through his story? A. Long-distance travelling is always full of unexpected dangers. B. We can go further than we believe if we keep going bravely. C. It is necessary to make strict rules before every trip. D. People should travel around the world to challenge themselves. 【答案】BABBB 【解析】本文讲述 Karl Bushby 历时 28 年完成依靠自身力量的环球远征，以及旅程背后的精神。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段 “He made two strict rules for the journey: he could only move forward on foot or by swimming, and he must not use any machines for transport” 可知，他只能步行或游泳，不使用机动车。故选 B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段 “At first, he thought the journey would take about 12 years.

On Oct. 25, 2026, he rode his company’s MX450 motorcycle for 40.74 kilometers on the Jinjiang River in Mayang Miao Autonomous County, his home town in Hunan Province. This new record broke the old one of 31.8 kilometers. A Guinness official watched the whole test and said it was valid. The MX450 was greatly changed for this water challenge. It was equipped with an amphibious ski system and waterproof engine parts so that it could run smoothly on the water. It uses a single-cylinder engine made by his own company, which can produce over 60 horsepower. One big technical difficulty was keeping the power steady and stopping water from getting into the engine. Zhang did not try to push the motorcycle to its top speed on purpose. His most important goal was to finish the whole distance safely. This success put an end to his 17-year long journey. Back in 2009 in Wuyi, Zhejiang Province, 22-year-old Zhang tried the same challenge four times on a simply rebuilt motorcycle. Every try ended with a fall. The farthest he could go was just 20 meters, which was less than his 26-meter goal. As time went by, he helped set up Kove Moto in 2017, and later started his own brand ZXMOTO in 2024. The same engineering skills also worked well on race tracks. ZXMOTO made history at a World Superbike Championship (WSBK) race in the Supersport group. It became the first Chinese maker to win a race in this group. After the successful water ride, Zhang gave himself 99 points out of 100. He left one point for himself to stay modest and not become too confident. He chose his hometown Mayang for this meaningful challenge. He hoped to realize his long-time dream and let more people around the world know his hometown. “Do what you decide to do and keep moving forward,” Zhang once said. 1. What can we know from the passage? A. Zhang’s water challenge was supported by his whole team. B. Zhang stopped trying the water challenge after three failed attempts. C. Zhang did not think he was perfect after the success. D. The new record was created on a river in Zhejiang Province. 2. Why does the writer mention Zhang’s achievement at the WSBK race? A. To show that Zhang’s engineering ability has been proven in another field B. To explain why Zhang began his water motorcycle challenge C. To stress that motorcycle races are far more difficult than water riding D. To show that motorcycle racing brings more public attention 3. What can we infer about Zhang’s idea during the water challenge? A. He wanted to test the motorcycle’s fastest speed as much as possible. B. Safety was more important to him than breaking the record crazily. C. He cared little about whether the engine would get wet in the river. D. He planned to make the motorcycle run as fast as it could. 4. Which of the following statements is right? A. Zhang’s first attempts at the water challenge all failed many years ago. B. Zhang’s earliest water challenge in 2009 reached his 26-meter target. C. ZXMOTO was founded by Zhang as early as the year 2017. D. ZXMOTO was the second Chinese maker to win the WSBK race. 5.Which is the best title for the passage? A. A 17-Year Journey That Led to a New Guinness Record B. How to Make a Motorcycle Run on Open Water C. The Ways to Change a Common Motorcycle D.

It is one of the most successful cultural works in the country. It got over 120 million views on main short-video platforms in only a few days. It touches the hearts of young people who are facing more and more pressure in daily life. Its name is The OGs. The title comes from a popular word in hip-hop culture. OG means a person who has gone through hard times and won others’ respect. It carries the same meaning as the Chinese phrase “guo lai ren”（过来人）. It refers to people who have pulled through the hardest moments in life. The video was made by Zhe FILM, a creative team from Wuhan. It is set in a virtual （虚拟的）wine house with an open-mic show. Ten characters take turns to rap. Nine of them are historical people, including the poet Du Fu, the great writer Su Shi and the ancient ruler Liu Bang. The tenth one is the mythical hero Sun Wukong. Rather than showing their famous successes, the video talks about their little-known difficulties, loneliness and strong will. It does not give lessons to viewers. Instead, it warms people’s hearts. It connects the hard experiences from hundreds of years ago with the worry many young people feel now. Culture researchers point out that this work comes from the good cooperation between humans and AI. The creator made the key parts of the story, including its plot, feelings and story structure. AI finished the technical work: making pictures, simulating voices and creating music. Many famous Chinese media speak highly of this video. They say it builds a new bridge between traditional culture and young people today. People in this industry hold a fair opinion: this creative style is easy to copy, but its deep feelings and special way of telling stories cannot be copied. As an excellent cultural work with AI’s help, it shows that digital tools can help people bring their true creative ideas to life. 1. What can we know from the first two paragraphs? A. The word “OG” is created specially for this rap video. B. Lots of young people feel understood after watching this video. C. The video became popular after getting 120 million views in one hour. D. “guo lai ren” means people who have never met any trouble in life. 2. What can we infer about the video’s special way of telling stories? A.

It only took me a minute to say I most regretted not completing college. I explained that I was considered to be 2 in school, got great grades, and had big dreams. 3 finishing university, I felt like I was not only letting myself down, but also everyone who believed in me. My friend said, “Why not now?” But with a son in primary school, a busy job, and lots of other responsibilities at home, I had a million 4 . The one I thought was the strongest: If I went back, I would be thirty-two when I graduated. What I heard was something I would never forget: “You’re going to be thirty-two anyway .” Looking back, I feel it’s the 5 and wisest advice I have ever received.

It reminds us that simple words can produce extremely powerful influences on people’s feelings and moods. This proverb uses the contrast of winter and summer to explain the magic of language. Friendly and sincere words can comfort people’s hearts and give them strength when they are down. In contrast, impolite, cold or offensive words leave lasting pain in people’s minds. No matter how warm the weather is, emotional hurt can make someone feel lonely and disappointed for a long time. This wisdom can be perfectly seen in our daily life. For instance, when our family members feel tired from work or housework, a simple word of care and understanding can instantly lift their spirits and ease their stress. Similarly, when friends meet failures or troubles in life, gentle comfort can help them walk out of sadness. However, if we speak casually and sharply to others when we are annoyed, even a brief sentence may break their confidence and hurt their feelings deeply. Words are invisible, but their power is real. Many conflicts and distance between people start with careless and unkind speech. This ancient truth teaches us to control our words and treat everyone with patience and kindness. We should never release our bad moods by hurting others. In short, language is a precious tool for communication. We should always choose warm, polite and encouraging words in daily communication. Only by treating others gently can we build harmonious relationships and bring warmth to the world around us. 1. What does the proverb use to show the great power of language? 2. What may happen to people if they receive impolite and offensive words? 3. When our friends are in trouble and meet failures, what can help them get out of sadness? 4. What can we infer about the power of unkind words from the passage? 5. What is the main lesson the writer wants to tell us? 【答案】1. It uses the contrast of winter and summer. 2. They will have lasting pain, and they may feel lonely and disappointed for a long time. 3. Gentle comfort can help them walk out of sadness. 4. Unkind words may hurt people deeply, break their confidence and cause conflicts and distance between people. 5. We should control our words, speak warmly, politely and kindly to others to build harmonious relationships. 【解析】本文围绕谚语 “良言一句三冬暖，恶语伤人六月寒”，讲述语言的力量，呼吁我们友善说话。 1．细节题。根据第二段 “This proverb uses the contrast of winter and summer to explain the magic of language.” 可知，谚语用冬夏的对比来展现语言的力量。 2．细节题。根据第二段 “In contrast, impolite, cold or offensive words leave lasting pain in people’s minds. No matter how warm the weather is, emotional hurt can make someone feel lonely and disappointed for a long time.” 可知，不礼貌、伤人的话语会给人留下长久的痛苦，让人长时间感到孤独、失落。 3．细节题。根据第三段 “Similarly, when friends meet failures or troubles in life, gentle comfort can help them walk out of sadness.” 可知，温柔的安慰可以帮助走出悲伤。 4．推理归纳题。结合第三段 “even a brief sentence may break their confidence and hurt their feelings deeply” 以及第四段 “Many conflicts and distance between people start with careless and unkind speech.” 概括得出，文中没有完全一样的原句，需要整合信息。 5．主旨推理题。通读全文，文章告诉我们要管住自己的言语，友善礼貌待人，营造和谐的人际关系。需要整合第四、五段内容归纳主旨。 五、语法填空 The Wisdom of an Ancient Chinese Saying There is a wise ancient Chinese saying: “Going ninety miles of a hundred-mile journey is only half the way.” (行百里者半九十) This meaningful sentence comes from Strategies of the Warring States（战国策）, a classic ancient Chinese historical book1._________ records precious wisdom of our ancestors.
