As the most geographically widespread Winter Games ever, Milano Cortina 2026 is now behind us. It is a good moment to look back at how the Winter Olympics have developed their own character over the past century.
Games Host City Year What Made It Special
1st Chamonix (France) 1924 Originally just“International Winter Sports Week”; only 16nations; women only in figure skating —— but it started it all. The first gold medal was awarded in men's 500m speed skating.
14th Sarajevo (Yugoslavia) 1984 Torvi ll and Dean earned the only perfect 6.0s in ice dancing history. Half of Britain came to a standstill as the nation watched together. The pair became national heroes overnight.
18th Nagano (Japan) 1998 Philip Boit, the first Winter Olympian from Kenya (a country with no snow), finished last. But the champion Silvio Fauner from Italy waited to hug him.
19th Salt Lake City(USA) 2002 Steven Bradbury stayed behind in short-track final, watched four rivals fall on the last corner, and skated past to win Australia's first Winter gold. “Doing a Bradbury” now means winning by staying on your feet.
24th Beijing (China) 2022 First city ever to host both Summer and Winter Games. All 26venues(会场) were powered by renewable energy, setting a new standard for sustainable Games.
What makes the Winter Olympics special Beyond the medals lie the stories that travel with them. Across borders and backgrounds, the Olympic spirit lives on.
21. Where are Torvill and Dean from
A. Yugoslavia. B. France. C. Britain. D. Italy.
22. Why is the story of Philip Boit and Silvio Fauner mentioned
A. To applaud social manners. B. To praise true sportsmanship.
C. To highlight teamwork spirit. D. To show championship glory.
23. What does“doing a Bradbury” refer to according to the text
A. Avoiding staying behind. B. Winning with a huge lead.
C. Setting an Olympic record. D. Claiming gold by accident.
B
As evening falls over the Summer Palace, the sky fills with sharp calls and fast-moving shapes of Beijing Swifts (北京雨燕). These birds have been part of the city's spirit for centuries, for their return means summer is here. But this familiar sight has begun to fade, with their numbers dropping sharply.
Into this story stepped Terry Townshend, a British naturalist who had made Beijing his home.He discovered that the city lies along a major flyway for migratory birds. For Terry, the swift, a bird that only touches down to nest, became a window into this hidden side of the capital.
The biggest question remained: Where did these birds, born beneath Beijing's roofs, go for half the year In 2014, Terry led an international team. Working with researchers from China, Sweden,and the UK, they began at the Summer Palace. They gently caught 31 swifts and placed geolocators on them. It was an act of trust: setting them free, hoping they would return.
One year later, that trust paid off. The returning birds revealed an astonishing journey: 30,000kilometers from Beijing, over Central Asian deserts, across Arabia, and down Africa's coast to wintering grounds in Namibia and South Africa. The discovery was more than a scientific breakthrough; it was a story. By mapping their flight path, Terry helped people see these birds no longer as unknown dots in the sky, but as living beings whose lives span (横跨) continents.Modern science finally unlocked the secrets of the Beijing swift's extreme airborne lifestyle and transcontinental migration —— mysteries that had eluded observers for centuries.
With the migration route known, targeted conservation could begin. Terry's map did what words alone could not. It turned unseen miles into a journey the world could finally see. That story starts by just watching the sky, waiting for a swift to bring its secrets home.
24. What has made Beijing Swifts part of the city's spirit for centuries
A. Their mysterious winter disappearance.
B. Their sharp calls and fast-moving shapes.
C. Their arrival marking the start of summer.
D. Their habit of nestng only on ancient roofs.
25. What did Terry and his team do at the Summer Palace in 2014
A. They mapped the flight path of the swifts.
B. They studied swifts' habitats and behavior.
C. They observed swifts returning to Beijing in spring.
D. They fitted swifts with devices to track their travel.
26. What does the underlined word“eluded” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Puzzled. B. Touched.
C. Motivated. D. Interrupted.
27. What can be learned from Terry Townshend's work
A. Nature will have its course. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Rome was not built in a day. D. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C
For years, the dream future kitchen looked like something from a sci-fi film: robots turning burgers, mechanical arms moving wildly. But at CES (International Consumer Electronics Show)2026, industry experts painted a different prospect. The future isn't arriving with robots looking like us. It's arriving quietly, invisibly, and it's already here.
Early smart kitchen products made a critical mistake. As Nicole Papantoniou from the GoodHousekeeping Institute put it,“A lot of people were putting smart features, which you didn't really need, into products.” Today's successful ideas aren't about adding technology for its own purpose.They' re about friction reduction ———— making cooking easier without the user even noticing the intelligence at work.
This shift is clear in the latest AI appliances. Several brands offer ovens(烤箱) with systems that“see” what you put inside. Simply place the food in, and the machine automatically selects the best cooking option. No buttons, no guesswork. Refrigerators are changing in a similar way. The latest AI models have cameras that identify ingredients, track best-before dates, and suggest recipes based on what you have. A partnership with chef Jamie Oliver brings AI-made recipes tailored to your needs. But perhaps the most unexpected use of AI in the kitchen has nothing to do with panies are developing smart range hoods(抽油烟机) that use airflow to create a low-pressure zone above the pan, trapping very small particles(颗粒) before they reach your lungs.
So will robots replace human cooks At a CES Discussion, chef Tyler Florence gave a firm answer.“Human-made will become the new luxury item,” he said,“Machines excel at repetitive,boring tasks. But creativity, the human touch ———— these will only become precious as technology advances.”
The vision from CES 2026 is not a kitchen without cooks. It's a kitchen where invisible intelligence handles the heavy work, and humans are freed to turn ingredients into meals, and meals into memories.
28. What is the big change of today's smart kitchen ideas
A. Creating more robot lookalikes. B. Reducing trouble while cooking.
C. Designing more sci-fi products. D. Adding more complex functions.
29. How do new AI ovens simplify the cooking process
A. They recognize food and set the right mode.
B. They bring AI-made recipes tailored to needs.
C. They suggest recipes based on what you have.
D. They use airflow to create a low-pressure zone.
30. What can be inferred from Tyler Florence's words
A. Human creativity will be highly valuable.
B. AI will take the place of human creativity.
C. Human-made food is more than expensive.
D. Machines are better at innovative cooking.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. AI in Kitchens: A Smart Master for Cooking
B. Smart Kitchens: More Robotic, Less Human
C. CES 2026: When Kitchens Finally Go Sci-Fi
D. Hidden AI: The New Face of Future Kitchens
D
On a quiet street in Bangkok, a shop owner watches water rise through her floor for the third time this year. She simply moves her goods to the second floor and waits. Four blocks away, a newly built park is doing something strange —— it's designed to flood.
This is not failure. This is adaptation.
For more than a century, cities treated water as the enemy to be defeated. Engineers built higher walls, stronger pumps (泵) and deeper channels. The enemy metaphor ran deep: We“fight”floods,“battle” rising seas and storm surges. And for a while, it worked, or seemed to.
Then came the storms that broke the walls. Hurricane Sandy flooded 51 square kilometers ofNew York City in 2012. In 2021, floods in Germany killed more than 180 people despite advanced warning systems. The concrete defenses, perfected over generations, were failing in plain sight.
What these events exposed was not a problem in engineering, but a problem in thinking. You cannot defeat water; you can only delay it. And delay is not a strategy.
Not with a bang, but with a rethink. In Copenhagen, after a 2011 flood caused nearly a billion dollars in damage, city planners didn't just rebuild ————— they redesigned. A new park called TasingePlads now serves as a public square when dry and a retention pond (蓄水池) when rains come.Children play on equipment that doubles as water storage. The enemy has become a neighbor.
The most telling change may be happening in the Netherlands, a country that literally built itself on the idea of defeating water. However, the Room for the River program, begun in 2007, has done something unconventional: it moved dikes (堤坝) back, lowered floodplains, and gave rivers room to breathe. When water rises now, it flows where it's meant to go.
Back in Bangkok, the shop owner knows something that city engineers are only beginning to learn. Water doesn't need to be fought. It needs to be expected.
The old question was: How high can we build the wall
The new question is: What can we build that water can live with
32. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph
A. By describing a scene. B. By presenting a comparison.
C. By citing a shop owner. D. By explaining a phenomenon.
33. What does the author try to illustrate in paragraph 4
A. The inconvenience of concrete defenses.
B. The severity of natural disasters worldwide.
C. The shortage of advanced warning systems.
D. The ineffectiveness of old flood control ways.
34. What is Netherlands’ water management like according to the text
A. Cautious and flexible. B. Economical and reliable.
C. Innovative and reasonable. D. Efficient and systematic.
35. What do the two questions at the end of the text mainly show
A. The necessity of construction. B. The importance of engineering.
C. The transformation in concepts. D. The trouble in solving problems.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
To keep gratitude in my daily life, I started playing a game called“three things”. 36 For example, a project finished early, a sunny day for running and my Dad cooking his famously mouthwatering hamburgers that night.
Playing“three things” works well with its companion attitude —— presence. 37 I spent so much time worrying over past actions or about future events. It was only when I tried to live in the moment that I realized this.
If I'm truly in the moment, I'm not worrying. 38 When worry taps on my shoulder, I' ve learned to handle it. Once that time is up, I let it go. And if there's nothing I can do I skip straight to letting it go. No hesitation, no guilt.
39 Sometimes I need reminders. Recently I was feeling upset, knowing I should exercise but feeling uninspired.“Will you go jogging with me ” I asked my Dad.“I can't,” he said.“My foot's been acting up again. I really need to stay off it.” I must have let my disappointment show,because he glanced over and said,“Hey, don't look so sad! You' re supposed to be the happy one,remember ” His words immediately pulled me back into a better frame of mind.
With that reminder, I knew I was going to jo g alone. I would appreciate the fresh air, the cold,clear sky, and my ability to take each step through the neighborhood. 40
And so I went jogging. And for that moment, I was exactly where I needed to be.
A. I used to ignore the current moment.
B. There are three things that interest me a lot.
C. Instead, I'm busy taking action or having fun.
D. I focus on three current things to be grateful for.
E. If I spend much time thinking, I' ll feel confused.
F. As I put on my running shoes, I felt better already.
G. This mindset works most of the time, but not always.

Yang Yongchao runs his fingers over a vase, whose surface shines in shades of purple and blue, like a sunset 56 (reflect) gracefully in water.“This one will go to London,” he says with a smile.
Yang grew up in a small Henan town famous for Jun porcelain(钧瓷). 57 (remarkable),he chose this career path himself at a time when most young people sought careers in cities.“In my childhood, watching my father work 58 (draw) me in,” Yang recalls.

Yang has authored a book and teaches international students, thus 64 (spread) thisChinese craft globally. When asked about the secret, he says,“It's not just skill, 65 a conversation with the clay, the fire, and anyone who holds the piece. That is the real magic of Jun porcelain.”

“Hurry up, everyone! Don't forget your lunches!” Mrs. Jones called out as Luna's class could hardly contain their excitement for their class trip to the Grand Exhibition.“I'm going to take lots of pictures,” Mrs. Jones announced, holding up her camera.“We' ll make a wonderful class book about our day!”
On the bus, Luna could hardly sit still. When it finally stopped, she leaped up.“I want to be first!” she cried, accidentally pushing past Kevin in her rush. Inside the dimly lit exhibition hall,Mrs. Jones gathered the class for a group photo.“Everyone, stay to the right, please!” she reminded them. But in the darkness, Luna, still overexcited, tripped over someone's foot. She lost her balance and fell forward, crashing right into Mrs. Jones.
Crash！ The camera slipped from the teacher's hands and hit the floor with a sickening sound. Aheavy silence fell over the room. Mrs. Jones bent down and picked up the camera.“It's broken,”Mrs. Jones sighed sadly. Luna's heart sank.“I' ve ruined everything. Now we can't make our class book,” she whispered, fighting back tears. Mrs. Jones gently patted her on the shoulder and said,“It's okay. Don't worry about that.”
Throughout the tour, while Kevin and others looked in wonder at the exhibits, Luna saw nothing. She was consumed by guilt. Even during lunch, the noisy chatter of her classmates couldn't lift her spirits.“Please quiet down,” Mrs. Jones said with a tired voice.“After you eat, you may visit the gift shop. But remember, be back on the bus by 2:30.”
The next day at school, the children were asked to write about their trip.“Since we have no pictures,” Mrs. Jones said, trying to sound cheerful,“we’ ll have to draw pictures for our class book.”
Luna looked at her blank paper, feeling sad. Then, she saw Kevin take something out of his bag——a handful of beautiful postcards from the gift shop. An idea flashed through her mind.“What if we use these ” Luna exclaimed, her voice suddenly bright. Kevin smiled and nodded.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The idea spread quickly and quietly through the class. Luna carefully handed the book to Mrs. Jones.

写作第一节
Dear David,
I'm excited to share with you our school's recent Bilingual Reading Month. It was a fantastic experience!
During the month, I read classic Chinese poems by Li Bai and the English translations. I also tried reading short stories by O. Henry in the original English version. It was amazing to see how the two languages expressed ideas differently, yet the feelings remained powerful. I came to understand great stories connect people across cultures. Reading in both languages not only improved my English but also gave me a fresh appreciation for our own literary heritage.
Have you ever read any Chinese classics I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Yours,
Li Hua

The idea spread quickly and quietly through the class. Like a secret mission, students began digging into their backpacks. Soon, postcards of ancient vases and sparkling jewels covered Luna’ s desk.“We can paste them into our class book and write down our thoughts!” Kevin suggested enthusiastically. Little by little, the scattered postcards came together like pieces of a puzzle. Everyone found their voices, sharing stories of what they had seen. When the last page was finished, they realized they had created something more alive than any photo, a book filled not just with images, but with hearts.
Luna carefully handed the book to Mrs. Jones. The teacher's eyes widened as she turned the pages, reading each student's handwritten memories beside the colorful postcards. Her voice thickened with emotion.“This is more beautiful than any camera could have captured.” She paused at Luna’ s page, where Luna had written about the ancient pottery exhibit and drawn a beautiful flower.“You turned a mistake into something wonderful,” Mrs. Jones said, pulling Luna into a warm hug. That day, Luna learned that mistakes could be mended, not by fixing what was broken, but by creating something new together.

W: Hello and welcome to Healthy Life Studio. I'm Coach Maya, your personal trainer for today's session. Before we begin our workout, I'd like to share some important exercise tips that many people overlook. First, a proper warm-up is crucial. Skipping it can strain your muscles and lead to injuries. Second, always drink enough water before, during, and after exercise to keep your body fueled. Another common mistake is pushing yourself too hard without adequate rest. This is so important because your muscles need time to repair and grow stronger. Irecommend taking at least one full day off from intense workouts each week. On rest days, light activities like walking or gentle stretching are perfect for active recovery. But remember, deep stretching should be avoided. Now,let's start with a dynamic warm-up to get ready! For today, we' ll focus on full-body strength and mobility, so I hope you' re all ready for a fun challenge!
