C
Long, long ago, there lived a kind young gardener named Hans. He lived alone in a small cottage, and his garden was the loveliest in the whole countryside.
Hans had many friends, but he thought Hugh, a rich miller (磨坊主), was his best friend. Whenever the miller passed the garden, he would pick flowers or fill his pockets with fruit. “Real friends should share everything,” he always said. Hans was so proud of such a good friend that he never asked for anything in return.
But winter came, and Hans had no flowers to sell. He was cold and hungry. The miller never visited him. “When people are in trouble, they should be left alone,” the miller told his wife.
When spring came, the miller came with a big basket. He promised he would give Hans his old wheelbarrow (手推车). Hans was so happy that he gave the miller all his early flowers.
After that, the miller came again and again. He asked Hans to repair his roof, drive his sheep to the mountain, and carry his things to the market. Hans was too busy to look after his own garden, but he kept telling himself, “He is my best friend, and he will give me the wheelbarrow.”
One stormy night, the miller knocked at the door. “My little boy fell off a ladder (梯子),” he said. “Please go and find a doctor for me. Remember, I am going to give you my wheelbarrow.”
Hans set out at once. “Could I borrow your lantern? It’s so dark that I might fall.”
“I’m sorry, but it’s new. I don’t want it to get broken,” answered the miller.
So Hans set out without a light. After walking for three hours, he reached the doctor’s house. The doctor rode off on his horse, and Hans followed on foot. The storm grew worse. Hans could not keep up with the horse. On his way back, he lost his way and fell into a deep pool.
Some shepherds (牧羊人) heard his cries and pulled him out of the water. They carried him home, where he lay ill for many days.
9. What does the underlined word “promised” mean in the story?
A. Gave his word. B. Changed his mind. C. Made a wish. D. Offered some advice.
10. Why did Hans keep working for the miller?
A. He hoped to learn new skills. B. He needed money for food.
C. He trusted the miller’s friendship. D. He enjoyed leaving his garden.
11. What is the miller like in the story?
A. He is always ready to help. B. He cares only about himself.
C. He is always willing to share. D. He gets angry with others easily.
12. What is the best title for the story?
A. A Deep Pool B. The True Friend C. A Stormy Night D. The Young Gardener
【答案】9. A 10. C 11. B 12. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文,讲述了善良的年轻园丁汉斯将富有的磨坊主休当作最好的朋友,磨坊主却以“朋友应分享”和“赠送旧手推车”为借口不断利用汉斯,在汉斯陷入困境时置之不理,最终汉斯为帮磨坊主请医生而遇险重病的故事,围绕“真正的友谊”展开探讨。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“he promised he would give Hans his old wheelbarrow (手推车). Hans was so happy that he gave the miller all his early flowers.”,结合后文汉斯一直惦记着磨坊主的手推车的内容,可知promised意为“承诺、许诺”,与“Gave his word”含义一致。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Hans was too busy to look after his own garden, but he kept telling himself, ‘He is my best friend, and he will give me the wheelbarrow.’”可知,汉斯一直为磨坊主工作,是因为他信任自己和磨坊主的友谊,相信对方会兑现承诺。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But winter came, and Hans had no flowers to sell. He was cold and hungry. The miller never visited him. ‘When people are in trouble, they should be left alone,’ the miller told his wife.”以及第八段磨坊主不肯借灯笼给汉斯的内容,可知磨坊主是一个只关心自己的自私的人。
【12题详解】
最佳标题题。全文围绕汉斯与磨坊主的友谊展开,通过磨坊主虚伪自私的行为,反衬出真正的友谊的内核,“The True Friend”最能概括文章核心主题,适合作为标题。
D
In 2026, China’s government (政府) said that schools could have spring and autumn breaks for students. These breaks are not the same in every city. Each place can make its own plan.
For example, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen will have an autumn break from November 17 to 20, 2026. Students will not need extra school days to make up for it. In Ningbo, the break will be from November 25 to 27.
These short holidays give students more chances to learn outside the classroom. They can join study trips, try sports, and learn about local culture. In Altay, Xinjiang, students will have a three-day “snow break” in December. Together with the weekend, it will give them five days off. Schools will encourage students to learn through winter activities.
Another reason is to give families more time together. Many families travel during summer holidays or national holidays. At those times, there are often too many tourists. Spring and autumn breaks may help them travel at quieter times. This can also bring more visitors to places of interest. During an autumn break in Sichuan in 2025, people bought more than four times as many tickets to these places as they did during the same period in 2024.
Some parents cannot take time off work easily. They worry about who will look after their children. To deal with this problem, some schools will keep classrooms open. Teachers or other workers can stay with students. Some communities will also hold activities for children. Experts (专家) say that parents should be able to change their working hours or take time off during school breaks.
Making these breaks work needs support from schools, families and workplaces. A short holiday can offer more than time away from lessons. It can give students new experiences and more ways to learn.
13. What can we learn about the “snow break” in Altay?
A. Students will take extra lessons at school.
B. Students will learn through winter activities.
C. Students will choose their own holiday dates.
D. Students will spend five days doing homework.
14. Why does the writer talk about the number of tickets sold in Sichuan?
A. To show how schools organize study trips.
B. To explain why families choose summer trips.
C. To show how school breaks bring more visitors.
D. To explain why tickets cost more at popular places.
15. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________.
However, these holidays may also bring difficulties for some families.
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
16. What does the writer think of spring and autumn breaks?
A. They are useful but need support.
B. They are enjoyable but bad for learning.
C. They are popular but cost too much.
D. They are necessary but should be longer.
【答案】13. B 14. C 15. D 16. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了2026年中国学校实施春秋假政策的具体情况,探讨了假期带来的益处、面临的挑战以及各方的支持措施,最后指出假期能给学生带来新体验。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In Altay, Xinjiang, students will have a three-day “snow break” in December...Schools will encourage students to learn through winter activities”可知,学校鼓励学生通过冬季活动进行学习。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“This can also bring more visitors to places of interest. During an autumn break in Sichuan in 2025, people bought more than four times as many tickets...”可知,作者列举四川门票销售数据是为了证明春秋假能吸引更多游客前往景点。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Some parents cannot take time off work easily. They worry about who will look after their children.”可知,该段主要讲述家庭面临的困难,与待插入句子“However, these holidays may also bring difficulties for some families”含义相符,适合放在段首。
【16题详解】
观点态度题。根据文章最后一段“Making these breaks work needs support from schools, families and workplaces. A short holiday can offer more than time away from lessons.”可知,作者认为春秋假是有用的,但需要学校、家庭和职场的共同支持。

Seal carving (篆刻) is a traditional Chinese art with a history of over 2,000 years. It brings together Chinese calligraphy (书法), painting and stone carving. In 2009, it was added to the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage List (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录), showing its great cultural value.
For centuries, Chinese painters and calligraphers have used seals to put their names on their works and express their personal styles. They carve their names or short sentences into stones, then use red ink to stamp (盖章) the seals onto their paintings or calligraphy. Qi Baishi, a well-known Chinese painter, was also a master of seal carving. His seals are simple but powerful and hold an important place in traditional Chinese art.
Today, people can also enjoy seal carving as a hands-on activity. Beginners usually start with soft natural stones because they are easier to carve. They smooth the stone surface, draw a design on it and carefully carve it with special tools. Once the seal is ready, they use red ink to stamp it onto paper. Learning to carve seals takes care and patience and helps learners develop their practical skills.
More and more young people around the world are discovering the beauty of this ancient art. Many foreign learners learn seal carving to better understand traditional Chinese culture.

Long, long ago, there lived a kind young gardener named Hans. He lived alone in a small cottage, and his garden was the loveliest in the whole countryside.
Hans had many friends, but he thought Hugh, a rich miller (磨坊主), was his best friend. Whenever the miller passed the garden, he would pick flowers or fill his pockets with fruit. “Real friends should share everything,” he always said. Hans was so proud of such a good friend that he never asked for anything in return.
But winter came, and Hans had no flowers to sell. He was cold and hungry. The miller never visited him. “When people are in trouble, they should be left alone,” the miller told his wife.
When spring came, the miller came with a big basket. He promised he would give Hans his old wheelbarrow (手推车). Hans was so happy that he gave the miller all his early flowers.
After that, the miller came again and again. He asked Hans to repair his roof, drive his sheep to the mountain, and carry his things to the market. Hans was too busy to look after his own garden, but he kept telling himself, “He is my best friend, and he will give me the wheelbarrow.”
One stormy night, the miller knocked at the door. “My little boy fell off a ladder (梯子),” he said. “Please go and find a doctor for me. Remember, I am going to give you my wheelbarrow.”
Hans set out at once. “Could I borrow your lantern? It’s so dark that I might fall.”
“I’m sorry, but it’s new. I don’t want it to get broken,” answered the miller.
So Hans set out without a light. After walking for three hours, he reached the doctor’s house. The doctor rode off on his horse, and Hans followed on foot. The storm grew worse. Hans could not keep up with the horse. On his way back, he lost his way and fell into a deep pool.
Some shepherds (牧羊人) heard his cries and pulled him out of the water. They carried him home, where he lay ill for many days.
9. What does the underlined word “promised” mean in the story?
A. Gave his word. B. Changed his mind. C. Made a wish. D. Offered some advice.
10. Why did Hans keep working for the miller?
A. He hoped to learn new skills. B. He needed money for food.
C. He trusted the miller’s friendship. D. He enjoyed leaving his garden.
11. What is the miller like in the story?
A. He is always ready to help. B. He cares only about himself.
C. He is always willing to share. D. He gets angry with others easily.
12. What is the best title for the story?
A. A Deep Pool B. The True Friend C. A Stormy Night D. The Young Gardener

In 2026, China’s government (政府) said that schools could have spring and autumn breaks for students. These breaks are not the same in every city. Each place can make its own plan.
For example, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen will have an autumn break from November 17 to 20, 2026. Students will not need extra school days to make up for it. In Ningbo, the break will be from November 25 to 27.
These short holidays give students more chances to learn outside the classroom. They can join study trips, try sports, and learn about local culture. In Altay, Xinjiang, students will have a three-day “snow break” in December. Together with the weekend, it will give them five days off. Schools will encourage students to learn through winter activities.
Another reason is to give families more time together. Many families travel during summer holidays or national holidays. At those times, there are often too many tourists. Spring and autumn breaks may help them travel at quieter times. This can also bring more visitors to places of interest. During an autumn break in Sichuan in 2025, people bought more than four times as many tickets to these places as they did during the same period in 2024.
Some parents cannot take time off work easily. They worry about who will look after their children. To deal with this problem, some schools will keep classrooms open. Teachers or other workers can stay with students. Some communities will also hold activities for children. Experts (专家) say that parents should be able to change their working hours or take time off during school breaks.
Making these breaks work needs support from schools, families and workplaces. A short holiday can offer more than time away from lessons. It can give students new experiences and more ways to learn.
13. What can we learn about the “snow break” in Altay?
A. Students will take extra lessons at school.
B. Students will learn through winter activities.
C. Students will choose their own holiday dates.
D. Students will spend five days doing homework.
14. Why does the writer talk about the number of tickets sold in Sichuan?
A. To show how schools organize study trips.
B. To explain why families choose summer trips.
C. To show how school breaks bring more visitors.
D. To explain why tickets cost more at popular places.
15. The following sentence can best be put at the beginning of ________.
However, these holidays may also bring difficulties for some families.
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
16. What does the writer think of spring and autumn breaks?
A. They are useful but need support.
B. They are enjoyable but bad for learning.
C. They are popular but cost too much.
D. They are necessary but should be longer.
