（2026·陕西西安·一模）Most of the people growing up in big cities have never ridden a horse, but we often use “horse words” in our daily language. These words remind us of the important roles horses once played in history.
One common example is “horsepower”. This term is used to measure the power of engines. It was created by James Watt, a British engineer, in the 1760s. Watt improved the steam engine and wanted to explain its power to people. At that time, horses were widely used for heavy work. So, he compared his engine to horses. After simple calculations (计算), he said one engine could do the work of ten horses. This idea became prevalent, and others started using the term too. Although Watt didn’t know exactly if a real horse is stronger than one horsepower, the word is still used today.
Another example is the “pommel horse (鞍马)”, a piece of equipment in gymnastics. It comes from ancient Rome, where soldiers practiced getting on and off wooden horses to prepare for battle. Later, this practice became part of the Olympics. In the early 1800s, a German teacher named Friedrich Ludwig Jahn developed many gymnastic moves on the pommel horse. His ideas are still used in modern gymnastics.
However, not all “horse words” are about horses. For example, horseradish is a spicy vegetable, and a horsefly is a large insect that bites.
In short, “horse words” are common in English. Some connect to history, while others are just names. Do you know any other “horse words”
1．The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”.
A．popular B．strange C．personal D．modern
2．What can we infer from the passage about James Watt
A．He was the first person to use horses for work.
B．He knew exactly how strong a horse was.
C．He invented the steam engine by himself.
D．He was good at explaining new ideas to people.
3．How is the passage organized
A．By telling stories in time order. B．By giving examples of “horse words”.
C．By comparing two different kinds of horses. D．By asking questions at the beginning.
【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语中常见的“horse words”（与“horse”相关的词汇）。文章通过“horsepower”、“pommel horse”、“horseradish”、“horsefly”等例子，说明了这些词汇的来源和用法，指出部分“horse words”与马有关，部分则只是名称或与历史、其他事物相关。文章旨在帮助读者了解英语中这类词汇的多样性和文化背景。
1．根据第二段内容，“This idea became prevalent, and others started using the term too.”以及后文“Although Watt didn’t know exactly if a real horse is stronger than one horsepower, the word is still used today.”，可以推断，“prevalent”意为“流行的、普遍的”。
2．根据第二段内容，“Watt improved the steam engine and wanted to explain its power to people... So, he compared his engine to horses.”这表明瓦特善于用人们熟悉的事物（马）来解释新概念（发动机的功率），即他擅长向人们解释新想法。
3．文章通过举例来组织内容。第二段以“horsepower”（马力）为例，第三段以“pommel horse”（鞍马）为例，第四段提到“horseradish”（辣根）和“horsefly”（马蝇）等词，说明并非所有“horse words”都与马有关。这些例子贯穿全文，用于说明“horse words”在英语中的常见性和多样性。因此，文章是通过给出“horse words”的例子来组织的。

Try SmilingWhen the weather suits you not. Try smiling. When your coffee isn’t hot. Try smiling. When your neighbors don’t do right. Or your relatives all fight. Sure it’s hard but then you might—Try smiling. Doesn’t change the things, of course—Just smiling. But it cannot make them worse. Just smiling. And it seems to help your case. Brightens up a dark place: Then, it sort of rests your face—Just smiling. Analysis (赏析):This poem is really inspiring. Although its form and words are simple, it shows how smiling can help in difficult times. It uses simple examples, such as bad weather and cold coffee to suggest that smiling can make things better. The repeated phrase “Try smiling” is like a gentle reminder. This doesn’t mean that smiling can solve all problems, but it can make a difference. When we smile, it can’t make the bad things worse, but it can lift our moods and light up the grey environment. No matter what difficulties we face, we should try to be positive and bring warmth and hope to ourselves and those around us with a smile. Just be positive and kind.
1．Why does the writer use examples like bad weather and cold coffee
A．To show how common these problems are. B．To prove that these things are really annoying.

2．The underlined word “gentle” probably means “________”.
A．strong and forceful B．soft and kind C．angry and strict D．loud and clear
3．What can we learn from the poem
A．Smiling can change the weather. B．Smiling can make coffee hot again.
C．Smiling can solve all problems. D．Smiling can brighten up a dark place.
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D
【导语】本文是一首小诗及其赏析，通过生活中简单的例子（如天气不佳、咖啡凉了）反复劝诫读者尝试微笑，指出微笑虽不能改变事实本身，却能照亮灰暗的环境、提升心情。
1．赏析中提到“It uses simple examples such as bad weather and cold coffee to suggest that smiling can make things better.”，说明作者用这些例子是为了表明微笑可以让事情变得更好。
2．根据赏析中的“The repeated phrase ‘Try smiling’ is like a gentle reminder.”并结合诗歌语境，诗歌的核心是鼓励人们在困境中微笑，语气是温柔的。
3．诗中提到“Brightens up a dark place”，说明微笑可以照亮阴暗的地方。
（2026·陕西榆林·一模）
My grandmother was a wonderful old lady. When I was ten, she moved from her farm to live with us in the town—she could no longer stay there alone.
At first, Grandmother felt lonely and uncomfortable. She wasn’t used to the traffic noises and deeply missed the peace of farm life.
When spring came with warm winds, Grandmother said she wanted to plant a small garden. My father told her we didn’t need to grow food since we could buy everything. But she insisted, “I’ve always had a garden, and I want one here.” She asked me to help work the land, and I happily agreed.
Early in spring, she taught me to start seeds in indoor containers (容器). We planted cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots. I watered the seeds carefully every day, and soon green sprouts came out. When the weather got warm enough, we moved the seedlings to the garden in neat rows. Grandmother smiled and said, “In a month, we’ll have fresh vegetables.”
When harvest (收获) time arrived, she loved serving our garden’s vegetables at meals. I felt proud to help care for the plants in the summer heat. Years later, those meals are still my happiest memories—not just for the fresh taste, but for the priceless time I spent with Grandmother in her beloved garden.
1．Why did Grandmother want to plant a garden in the town
A．To save money for the family.
B．To make the town more beautiful.
C．Because she was used to growing a garden.
D．Because there was no food to buy in the town.
2．Where did the writer and Grandmother start the vegetable seeds at first
A．In the garden. B．In indoor containers.
C．On the farm. D．In the village field.
3．What can be the best title for the passage
A．Life in the Village Garden B．From Farm to Town
C．The Importance of Vegetables D．Growing Memories with Grandma
【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了祖母搬到镇上后因不习惯而感到孤独，她坚持要在镇上种一个花园，“我”帮忙一起劳作，收获时用园子里的蔬菜做饭，多年后那些和祖母在园子里共度的时光仍是“我”最幸福的回忆。
1．第三段中祖母说“I’ve always had a garden, and I want one here.”，直接表明祖母想在镇上种花园是因为她一直有花园，习惯了种花园。
2．第四段提到“Early in spring, she taught me to start seeds in indoor containers (容器).”，说明作者和祖母一开始是在室内容器里开始种蔬菜种子的。
3．文章主要围绕“我”和祖母一起种花园展开，最后提到多年后那些和祖母在园子里共度的时光仍是“我”最幸福的回忆，“Growing Memories with Grandma”能很好地概括文章主旨，即和祖母一起种植，留下美好回忆。
（2026·陕西西安·一模）AI weather forecasting (预测) is a smart tool that can predict dangerous weather like heavy rains, snowstorms and sudden storms. It helps forecasters work better and faster, making warnings more accurate (精确的) 。
Since 2025, China has been using two key AI models for this. “Fengqing” deals with short-to-medium-term forecasts. It successfully predicted summer floods in northern China and 2025’s winter snowfall. “Fenglei” focuses on short-term and sudden weather. In June 2025, it warned people of a sudden storm in Beijing and a heavy rainstorm in Henan, giving them time to prepare.
But AI forecasting still has challenges. Northern China often has sudden storms triggered by typhoons (台风) . They are hard to predict. Also, AI has problems with weather events it has never seen before.
Looking ahead, China plans to build better AI systems by 2035. They will improve heavy weather warnings and help with farming and energy planning. Remember: AI doesn’t replace human forecasters. It’s just a powerful tool to keep people safer from bad weather.
1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A．China’s future plans for AI systems.
B．How China uses two AI models in 2025.
C．Challenges of AI weather forecasting.
D．What AI weather forecasting is and its uses.
2．The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A．stopped B．caused C．changed D．protected
3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage about AI weather forecasting
A．It will solve all weather prediction problems by 2035.
B．It is less helpful than traditional forecasting methods.
C．It helps people get ready for dangerous weather better.
D．It works best for sudden storms in northern China.
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了AI天气预报的定义与作用、中国2025年使用的两款AI预报模型及其成效、当前面临的挑战，以及2035年的发展规划，强调 AI 是辅助人类预报员、保障民众安全的有力工具。
1．第一段开门见山介绍了 AI 天气预报的定义“a smart tool that can predict dangerous weather”，并说明它的作用“helps forecasters work better and faster, making warnings more accurate”。所以选D。
2．第三段“Northern China often has sudden storms triggered by typhoons”，台风是引发突发风暴的原因，因此 “triggered” 表示 “引发、导致”，所以选B。
3．第一段“AI weather forecasting (预测) is a smart tool that can predict dangerous weather like heavy rains, snowstorms and sudden storms”，以及最后一段“a powerful tool to keep people safer from bad weather”，能直接推断出，AI天气预报帮助人们更好地为危险天气做准备，因此C选项符合文意。
（2026·陕西铜川·模拟预测）If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs might be for you. Research shows stair-climbing works better than walking on level ground.
“How many calories (卡路里) I will burn is the question everyone wants to know,” said Lauri van Houten, a leader of the International Skyrunning Federation. “Here’s the good news: The heavier you are, the more you burn.” According to the research, people burn about twenty times more calories going up stairs than walking on level ground. Even going down stairs, people burn around five times more because the muscles (肌肉) have to work to slow down the body.
Dr Alberto Minetti of University of Milan has done a large amount of research on stair-climbing. He said it is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money. But he suggested old people and beginners watch their speed. “You’d better take a few deep breaths and then start going up the stairs,” he said. “Using handrails (扶手) when climbing stairs is also helpful. It can not only exercise our arm muscles but also burn more calories. Handrails offer safety, too.”
If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Walsham would win gold medals. She has won ten races up the New York City’s Empire State Building officially 1,576 stairs, and five climbs up the Eiffel Tower. Totally, Walsham has won more than 100 international stair races. She said that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people. “Many people find it difficult to run as they age,” she said. “Stair-climbing is a great replacement for running.”
Stairs are everywhere. Stair-climbing does not take much time. Stair-climbing can also help improve balance, and it can easily become part of an exercise plan.
1．Stair-climbing has the following advantages EXCEPT________.
A．it costs no money B．everyone can do it easily
C．it doesn’t take much time D．it helps improve balance
2．What does the underlined word “replacement” probably mean
A．Something that takes the place of another. B．Something that is difficult to do.
C．Something that makes you tired. D．Something that helps you relax.
3．What’s the best title for the passage
A．How to lose weight easily B．How to keep safe in stair-climbing
C．A famous stair-climbing runner D．A research about stair-climbing

（2026·陕西铜川·模拟预测）
Most plants need sun and water to grow. In the desert, there is a lot of strong sunlight, but not much rain. It may not rain for a long time. When it does rain, the water dries up fast. So, desert plants must use water carefully to live in the hot, dry desert.
Many kinds of cactuses live in the desert. Most have sharp spines. These spines are a type of leaf. Some spines are short. They can help shade the cactuses from the hot sun. Some spines are long. They can help rainwater go down to the roots.
To get water quickly, cactus roots do not need to go deep into the earth, but they go far away. When it rains, the roots grow fast. This helps the cactuses take in more water.
Cactuses keep the water inside their stems. The stems can get bigger to hold more water.
Cactuses use water slowly. That helps them live when there is no rain. We can learn a lot from cactuses about how to save water and use it wisely!
1．What can the long spines of cactuses do
A．Get more sun. B．Make roots grow strong.
C．Help rainwater go down to the roots. D．Shade the cactuses from the hot sun.
2．Cactuses keep the water inside their ________.
A．roots B．spines C．stems D．leaves
3．What’s the main purpose of the passage
A．To ask us to save water. B．To tell us about cactuses.

Over 900 Million Tonnes of Food Wasted Yearly
What Is the UN ●The United Nations(UN) is a global organization made up of 193 member states. ●It was founded in 1945 after the Second World War and allows different governments to talk and solve problems together.
A new UN report estimates that over 900 million tonnes of food is wasted each year around the world. The study found that 17% of all the food in shops, restaurants and homes goes into the bin. Food is also wasted on farms and in supply chains. Adding it all together, around a third of all the food produced each year is never eaten. The 931 million tonnes of wasted food would fill 23 million 40-tonne trucks. If you park all of them end to end, they would circle the earth seven times. But, why is that a problem Well, food waste is bad for the environment. It takes lots of energy and resources to grow the food we eat. So, if we don’t eat it, then those resources will be wasted. The UN report said that if food waste was a country, it would be the third most polluting country in the world. Food waste is responsible for roughly 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Mini dictionary estimate /’est me t/v. work out the rough level or number of something: Try to estimate how many steps it will take to get to a close object. supply chain / s pla t e n/ all the stages involved in a product’s creation: They break up nature’s food supply chain. emission / m n/ n. gas, etc. that is sent out into the air: The government has pledged to clean up industrial emissions.
What can We Do About Food Waste The charity WRAP helped create the report. They suggest: planning meals and how much food we need to only buy what’s needed; turning the fridge down to 5 °C or lower so food stays fresh longer; knowing what signs like “best before” and “use by” mean; using up the food that is left; freezing food to give you more time to eat it.
1．The underlined word “that” probably refers to (指代) the “______”.
A．truck B．food waste C．earth D．environment
2．How many suggestions did WRAP give to deal with food waste
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Eating frozen food is bad for our health.
B．The United Nations (UN) has 190 member states.
C．There is about 800 million tons of wasted food each year.
D．About two thirds of the food we produce each year is not wasted.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了联合国（UN）发布的关于全球食物浪费的报告。文章首先阐述了食物浪费的严重程度，接着分析了食物浪费为何成为一个问题，最后提出了慈善机构WRAP为应对食物浪费所给出的五条具体建议。
1．据前文“The 931 million tonnes of wasted food would fill 23 million 40-tonne trucks...”可知，前文一直在讨论“食物浪费”的数量之大。紧接着下一句“But, why is that a problem ”是在承接上文，询问为什么食物浪费会成为一个问题。因此，这里的“that”指代的是“food waste”。
2．根据文章最后一部分“What can We Do About Food Waste ”中的建议列表：planning meals and how much food we need to only buy what's needed；turning the fridge down to 5 °C or lower degrees so food stays fresh longer；knowing what signs like “best before” and “use by” mean；using up the food that is left；freezing food to give you more time to eat it.；一共有5条建议。
3．根据文章第三段提到“around a third of all the food produced each year is never eaten.”，可知，这意味着剩下的三分之二是被食用了，即没有被浪费。
（2026·陕西榆林·二模）As an international student, my camera serves as a bridge between cultures. Yet when I visited a modest red-brick village on the outskirts (市郊) of Xiamen, Fujian, I never expected to find parts of my Malaysian childhood everywhere.
The golden afternoon sun shone on the narrow streets when we filmed. Traditional Minnan-style houses with curved roofs (弧形屋顶) stood close together. We could hear chickens making sounds everywhere. A middle-aged woman wore a floral shirt, carrying a basket of vegetables on her motorcycle. She slowed down and said hello to a neighbor—this scene, with the smell of wet soil after rain, at once took me 3,000 kilometers back to my grandmother’s village near Kuala Lumpur.
Though the buildings are different, the heart of village was the same: shopkeepers knowing their usual customers well, elders asking naughty (顽皮的) children to behave well, and the warm rhythm of daily life. Later, elderly men playing chess under a big tree reminded me of my grandfather’s matches. When one shouted a Minnan phrase like a Hakka curse ( 客家诅咒), I knew, I smiled—their competitiveness went beyond national borders (国界)。
That day, I didn’t just record the village life in China. I found pieces of myself again. The best thing about studying abroad is understanding that we always bring our home with us. Small, common moments can wake this feeling up. These same feelings between people make the world’s borders less important, but make the world feel both bigger and smaller.
1．Which of the following did the writer NOT mention about the village in Xiamen
A．The smell of wet soil after rain. B．Children playing football in the street.
C．The sound of chickens. D．Traditional houses with curved roofs.
2．Which paragraphs tell the similarity of village life across countries
A．Paragraph 3～4. B．Paragraph 2～3. C．Paragraph 1～2. D．Paragraph 2～4.
3．What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph
A．People can feel at home even in a foreign country.
B．He thinks studying abroad is unnecessary.
C．He plans to return to Malaysia soon.
D．The world is becoming smaller because of technology.
【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者作为国际学生在厦门市郊的一个红砖村庄参观时，发现这里有许多与自己马来西亚童年相似的元素，进而引发对跨国界相似情感和文化的思考。
1．第二段描述场景：“We could hear chickens making sounds everywhere.”以及“this scene, with the smell of wet soil after rain”，说明提到了雨后泥土的气味和鸡的声音。
2．第二段：作者描述厦门村庄的场景，联想到马来西亚吉隆坡附近祖母的村庄，体现了乡村生活的相似性。第三段明确指出：“Though the buildings are different, the heart of village was the same…” 直接点明不同国家乡村生活的核心是相同的。所以说明第二段到第三段讲述了跨国界村庄生活的相似性。
3．最后一段表达情感：“The best thing about studying abroad is understanding that we always bring our home with us.” 说明作者想表达的是即使身处异国他乡，人们也能有宾至如归的感觉。
（2026·陕西西安·二模）Alongside the traditional New Year’s Eve dinner, the Spring Festival Gala has become another important feast for Chinese families. For decades, they have gathered to watch this grand show.
In recent years, to share the nation’s cultural specialties, the Gala has introduced branch venues（分会场）. For the 2026 Year of the Horse, four cities have been selected.
Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang, is famous as the “Ice City.” In winter, it turns into a magical wonderland of ice and snow, home to the Harbin Ice and Snow World where visitors see huge, glowing ice sculptures（雕塑）. It represents northern China’s beauty.
Yiwu in Zhejiang, known as the “World’s Supermarket,” is a central part of global trade. People worldwide come here for business, making it a symbol of China’s openness and economic energy.
Hefei, capital of Anhui, is where tradition meets the future. It is celebrated for advances in science and technology, while also having a rich history and beautiful natural scenery like Chao Lake.
Finally, Yibin in Sichuan is called the “First City of the Yangtze River,” where it begins its long journey. It is also home to the wonderful “bamboo sea,” a huge green forest showing southwestern China’s natural beauty.
Together with the main venue in Beijing, these cities will co-present a varied celebration, bringing an especially rich Chinese New Year celebration to audiences worldwide.
1．Why does the Gala choose different branch venues every year
A．To make the show longer and more interesting.

（2026·陕西榆林·二模）Teenagers often go online when they are bored, but they find it can sometimes bring more anxiety (焦虑). That’s when the “Boredom Buster” comes to help. It offers advice on keeping busy depending on how you feel.
The Boredom Buster is a part of an app called Saplings. It was made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind. Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US, the app was born out of her worry for people of her age with mental (精神的) health problems.
“A lot of mental health resources out there are for adults or younger kids,” Kumbala told The Washington Post. She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help.
While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help.
“The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for teens,” Kumbala said.
Prompts include questions like “What are the simple things in your life that you shouldn’t take for granted (想当然) ” and “What is your greatest interest How can you use it in your life every day in a small way ” There are also encouraging sayings, including “Stay hungry, stay foolish”.
“I wanted to create something that was by a teen for teens,” Kumbala said. Her app won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge in Louisiana’s First District. The purpose of the competition is to help middle and high school students explore computer science.
1．What does the underlined phrase “a restless mind” probably mean in Paragraph 2
A．A mind that is tired and wants to sleep. B．A mind that is active and creative.
C．A mind that feels calm and relaxed. D．A mind that is nervous and unable to stay calm.
2．What forms do the prompts in the guided diary have
A．Encouraging poems. B．Only mental health questions.
C．Questions and encouraging sayings. D．Doctors’ advice and stories.
3．From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．the app Saplings can take the place of doctors’ help
B．the guided diary in the app has no questions for teens
C．some teenagers are too shy to ask for mental health help
D．Vaishnavi Kumbala is from Louisiana’s First District
4．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．A teen-created app that helps teenagers with mental health.
B．The importance of doctors in solving teen mental health problems.
C．How teenagers can use apps to kill time when they are bored.
D．A competition for middle and high school students in computer science.

Climbing coconut trees is a popular sport in Hainan. It recently became an exciting competition in the 12th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities. On November 21, my friends and I attended the event to feel the excitement of the race.
At the playground, we saw two tall, realistic coconut trees. Li Yan, a judge*, explained, “The athletes (运动员) have to climb to the top of the trees and hit the timers. The fastest one wins.” According to him, male athletes climb to a height of 9 meters, while female athletes climb to 7 meters. As the competition began, athletes from different teams rushed to the trees and reached the top in just a few seconds, using their hands and feet. Everyone in the crowd cheered them on
The excitement was contagious (具有感染力的), and my friends and I couldn’t help but try climbing, too. We ran to the trees, jumped up, and held on to them, but it was much harder than it looked. We didn’t know how to push ourselves up! “You need to use your legs and arms together,” said Pan Zihao, an athlete. “It’s not just about strength, it’s also about speed!” added Li Xu, another athlete.
After two hours of trying, we were tired but happy. When we wrapped it up for the day, a friend asked why climbing coconut trees is so popular in Hainan. “It is a sport that brings you close to nature,” Li Yan replied. “You can enjoy the beautiful things around while having fun.”

Many students think math is difficult. They spend hours memorizing formulas (公式) but still make mistakes in exams. The truth is, math is not just about remembering—it’s about understanding. Here are some tips to help you learn math better.
Understand, don’t just memorize. When you learn a new formula, ask yourself why it works. For example, the area of a triangle is 1/2× base× height. Why Because a triangle is half of a rectangle. Understanding the “why” helps you remember longer and use it in different situations.
Practice every day. Math is like a sport—you need to practice to get better. Do a few problems each day instead of many problems at once before a test. This keeps your brain sharp (敏捷的) and helps you remember.
Learn from mistakes. When you get a wrong answer, don’t just move on. Find out where you went wrong. Did you misunderstand the question Did you make a careless mistake Did you use the wrong formula Learning from mistakes is the fastest way to improve.
Connect math to real life. Math is everywhere! When you shop, work out how much you need to pay. When you cook, find out the right amount of food to use. When you play sports, think about angles (倾斜角度) and speed. Seeing math in real life makes it more interesting and meaningful.
Ask questions. If you don’t understand something, ask your teacher or classmates. No question is too silly. Remember, every question you ask brings you one step closer to understanding.
Math may seem hard at first, but with the right methods and enough practice, anyone can become good at it. The key is to keep trying and never give up.
1．How many tips does the writer give the readers
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
2．The writer thinks that a good way to understand a new math formula is to ________.
A．ask why it works B．memorize it as soon as possible
C．write it down without thinking D．use it to finish difficult problems
3．How does the writer support the idea “Learn from mistakes”
A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions.
C．By giving facts and numbers. D．By comparing with other methods.
4．What is the main idea of this passage
A．Math is the most difficult subject in school.
B．Students should memorize formulas to do well in math.
C．Some useful ways to help learn math better.
D．We can find math everywhere in our daily life.

（2026·陕西西安·一模）When I was a little kid, one of my favorite things to do was going to the zoo. I have recently heard that there are debates (辩论) about whether elephants should live in zoos or not. My idea is that elephants should live in zoos for people to see.
Many experts say that elephants have a good life living in zoos. There are 78 zoos that exhibit (展览) elephants. Most zoos are trying to make living conditions better for the elephants. They are doing things such as replacing (替代) hard floors with sand or dirt. This makes it easier for them to walk around. Zoos are also making their elephant houses larger to give the large animals more room to go around.
Zoos also protect endangered animals. According to the World Wildlife Fund, in 2014 the total population of African elephants was around 700,000 and the Asian elephant population was about 32,000. So, the Asian elephants are in danger of dying out. Without zoos, they are all likely to disappear within our lifetime. The National Zoo plans to spend millions of dollars on new Asian elephant habitats (栖息地). That way, they can start their own groups.
Some people want zoos to cancel all of their elephant displays. National Zoo director John Berry says that visitors are allowed to feed and watch elephants closely. This encourages people to care about endangered animals. Once while I was visiting the zoo on a hot day, Big Ben, the largest elephant on display, walked up to me and gently squirted (喷) my face with water from his trunk. Everyone was amazed at what he did. That was a very nice thing for Big Ben to do. I’m sure that elephants are the nicest animals on earth.
I think zoos should follow all the necessary steps to keep elephants in zoos. I will raise money at my school if I think it would help to keep elephants in zoos.
1．Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．The writer thinks elephants should live in forests for people to see.
B．The writer thinks zoos make their elephant houses smaller.
C．The writer thinks zoos can also protect endangered animals.
D．The total population of African elephants was around 32,000 in 2014.
2．The underlined word “displays” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．products B．trades C．habitats D．shows
3．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards keeping elephants in the zoos
A．Worried. B．Angry. C．Supportive. D．Doubtful.
4．What is the structure of the passage (①= Paragraph 1…)
A．①②→③④→⑤ B．①②③→④→⑤ C．①→②③④→⑤ D．①→②③→④⑤
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“大象是否应生活在动物园”展开论述，通过阐述动物园改善大象生活条件、保护濒危物种、唤起公众对濒危动物的关注等内容，表达了作者支持大象生活在动物园的立场。
1．C项“作者认为动物园也能保护濒危动物”，原文第三段首句“Zoos also protect endangered animals”与选项表述一致。A项“作者认为大象应生活在森林里供人们观赏”，原文第一段明确提出“My idea is that elephants should live in zoos for people to see”，并非森林；B项“作者认为动物园把大象的房子建得更小”，原文第二段提到“Zoos are also making their elephant houses larger to give the large animals more room to go around”，是扩大而非缩小；D项“2014 年非洲大象总数约为32,000”，原文第三段指出“in 2014 the total population of African elephants was around 700,000 and the Asian elephant population was about 32,000”，32,000是亚洲象数量，非洲象为700,000。A、B、D均不符合语境
2．原文中“Some people want zoos to cancel all of their elephant displays”，结合后文“visitors are allowed to feed and watch elephants closely”可知，displays指动物园里大象的“展示、展出”行为，与选项D“shows”含义一致；A“products 产品”、B“trades 交易”、C“habitats 栖息地”均不符合语境。
3．原文第一段提出“My idea is that elephants should live in zoos for people to see”，最后一段再次表明“I think zoos should follow all the necessary steps to keep elephants in zoos. I will raise money at my school if I think it would help to keep elephants in zoos”，体现出作者支持的态度；A“Worried 担忧”、B“Angry 生气”、D“Doubtful 怀疑”均与原文不符。
4．①段：提出核心观点——大象应生活在动物园供人们观赏；②③④段：分别从三个角度论证观点；⑤段：总结全文，再次强调支持立场，并表示会为留住大象筹款。 因此结构为①→②③④→⑤。

Chinese athletes performed well in both ice and snow events. 2 Among the 5 gold medals, 4 medals were won by snow sports athletes. Su Yiming, 22, won the first gold medal for China in the men’s snowboard slopestyle (男子单板滑雪坡面障碍技巧) on his birthday. Gu Ailing, the “freestyle skiing queen”, successfully kept her title in the women’s halfpipe (女子U型场地技巧), adding 1 gold and 2 silvers to her collection.
Besides the medals, China made great progress in some new events. 3 This sport was new to many Chinese athletes, but their hard work paid off. A total of 126 athletes competed in 91 events—the largest team China has ever sent to an overseas Winter Olympics.
The success reflects the fast development of winter sports in China. 4 From training centers in the south to more kids trying skiing and skating, winter sports are no longer “just for the north”. The 2026 Games proved that Chinese athletes can compete with the top global players.
With this great performance, China’s winter sports have achieved a new level. 5 Further progress is expected in future competitions.
A．But most of the gold medals came from snow sports.

2026年陕西中考模拟汇编---阅读理解（原卷版）
学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________
（2026·陕西西安·一模）Most of the people growing up in big cities have never ridden a horse, but we often use “horse words” in our daily language. These words remind us of the important roles horses once played in history.
One common example is “horsepower”. This term is used to measure the power of engines. It was created by James Watt, a British engineer, in the 1760s. Watt improved the steam engine and wanted to explain its power to people. At that time, horses were widely used for heavy work. So, he compared his engine to horses. After simple calculations (计算), he said one engine could do the work of ten horses. This idea became prevalent, and others started using the term too. Although Watt didn’t know exactly if a real horse is stronger than one horsepower, the word is still used today.
Another example is the “pommel horse (鞍马)”, a piece of equipment in gymnastics. It comes from ancient Rome, where soldiers practiced getting on and off wooden horses to prepare for battle. Later, this practice became part of the Olympics. In the early 1800s, a German teacher named Friedrich Ludwig Jahn developed many gymnastic moves on the pommel horse. His ideas are still used in modern gymnastics.
However, not all “horse words” are about horses. For example, horseradish is a spicy vegetable, and a horsefly is a large insect that bites.
In short, “horse words” are common in English. Some connect to history, while others are just names. Do you know any other “horse words”
1．The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”.
A．popular B．strange C．personal D．modern
2．What can we infer from the passage about James Watt
A．He was the first person to use horses for work.
B．He knew exactly how strong a horse was.
C．He invented the steam engine by himself.
D．He was good at explaining new ideas to people.
3．How is the passage organized
A．By telling stories in time order. B．By giving examples of “horse words”.
C．By comparing two different kinds of horses. D．By asking questions at the beginning.

My grandmother was a wonderful old lady. When I was ten, she moved from her farm to live with us in the town—she could no longer stay there alone.
At first, Grandmother felt lonely and uncomfortable. She wasn’t used to the traffic noises and deeply missed the peace of farm life.
When spring came with warm winds, Grandmother said she wanted to plant a small garden. My father told her we didn’t need to grow food since we could buy everything. But she insisted, “I’ve always had a garden, and I want one here.” She asked me to help work the land, and I happily agreed.
Early in spring, she taught me to start seeds in indoor containers (容器). We planted cabbages, tomatoes, and carrots. I watered the seeds carefully every day, and soon green sprouts came out. When the weather got warm enough, we moved the seedlings to the garden in neat rows. Grandmother smiled and said, “In a month, we’ll have fresh vegetables.”
When harvest (收获) time arrived, she loved serving our garden’s vegetables at meals. I felt proud to help care for the plants in the summer heat. Years later, those meals are still my happiest memories—not just for the fresh taste, but for the priceless time I spent with Grandmother in her beloved garden.
1．Why did Grandmother want to plant a garden in the town
A．To save money for the family.
B．To make the town more beautiful.

（2026·陕西西安·一模）AI weather forecasting (预测) is a smart tool that can predict dangerous weather like heavy rains, snowstorms and sudden storms. It helps forecasters work better and faster, making warnings more accurate (精确的) 。
Since 2025, China has been using two key AI models for this. “Fengqing” deals with short-to-medium-term forecasts. It successfully predicted summer floods in northern China and 2025’s winter snowfall. “Fenglei” focuses on short-term and sudden weather. In June 2025, it warned people of a sudden storm in Beijing and a heavy rainstorm in Henan, giving them time to prepare.
But AI forecasting still has challenges. Northern China often has sudden storms triggered by typhoons (台风) . They are hard to predict. Also, AI has problems with weather events it has never seen before.
Looking ahead, China plans to build better AI systems by 2035. They will improve heavy weather warnings and help with farming and energy planning. Remember: AI doesn’t replace human forecasters. It’s just a powerful tool to keep people safer from bad weather.
1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about
A．China’s future plans for AI systems.
B．How China uses two AI models in 2025.
C．Challenges of AI weather forecasting.
D．What AI weather forecasting is and its uses.
2．The underlined word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A．stopped B．caused C．changed D．protected
3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage about AI weather forecasting
A．It will solve all weather prediction problems by 2035.
B．It is less helpful than traditional forecasting methods.
C．It helps people get ready for dangerous weather better.
D．It works best for sudden storms in northern China.
（2026·陕西铜川·模拟预测）If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs might be for you. Research shows stair-climbing works better than walking on level ground.
“How many calories (卡路里) I will burn is the question everyone wants to know,” said Lauri van Houten, a leader of the International Skyrunning Federation. “Here’s the good news: The heavier you are, the more you burn.” According to the research, people burn about twenty times more calories going up stairs than walking on level ground. Even going down stairs, people burn around five times more because the muscles (肌肉) have to work to slow down the body.
Dr Alberto Minetti of University of Milan has done a large amount of research on stair-climbing. He said it is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money. But he suggested old people and beginners watch their speed. “You’d better take a few deep breaths and then start going up the stairs,” he said. “Using handrails (扶手) when climbing stairs is also helpful. It can not only exercise our arm muscles but also burn more calories. Handrails offer safety, too.”
If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Walsham would win gold medals. She has won ten races up the New York City’s Empire State Building officially 1,576 stairs, and five climbs up the Eiffel Tower. Totally, Walsham has won more than 100 international stair races. She said that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people. “Many people find it difficult to run as they age,” she said. “Stair-climbing is a great replacement for running.”
Stairs are everywhere. Stair-climbing does not take much time. Stair-climbing can also help improve balance, and it can easily become part of an exercise plan.
1．Stair-climbing has the following advantages EXCEPT________.
A．it costs no money B．everyone can do it easily

Most plants need sun and water to grow. In the desert, there is a lot of strong sunlight, but not much rain. It may not rain for a long time. When it does rain, the water dries up fast. So, desert plants must use water carefully to live in the hot, dry desert.
Many kinds of cactuses live in the desert. Most have sharp spines. These spines are a type of leaf. Some spines are short. They can help shade the cactuses from the hot sun. Some spines are long. They can help rainwater go down to the roots.
To get water quickly, cactus roots do not need to go deep into the earth, but they go far away. When it rains, the roots grow fast. This helps the cactuses take in more water.
Cactuses keep the water inside their stems. The stems can get bigger to hold more water.
Cactuses use water slowly. That helps them live when there is no rain. We can learn a lot from cactuses about how to save water and use it wisely!
1．What can the long spines of cactuses do
A．Get more sun. B．Make roots grow strong.
C．Help rainwater go down to the roots. D．Shade the cactuses from the hot sun.

Over 900 Million Tonnes of Food Wasted Yearly
What Is the UN ●The United Nations(UN) is a global organization made up of 193 member states. ●It was founded in 1945 after the Second World War and allows different governments to talk and solve problems together.
A new UN report estimates that over 900 million tonnes of food is wasted each year around the world. The study found that 17% of all the food in shops, restaurants and homes goes into the bin. Food is also wasted on farms and in supply chains. Adding it all together, around a third of all the food produced each year is never eaten. The 931 million tonnes of wasted food would fill 23 million 40-tonne trucks. If you park all of them end to end, they would circle the earth seven times. But, why is that a problem Well, food waste is bad for the environment. It takes lots of energy and resources to grow the food we eat. So, if we don’t eat it, then those resources will be wasted. The UN report said that if food waste was a country, it would be the third most polluting country in the world. Food waste is responsible for roughly 10% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. Mini dictionary estimate /’est me t/v. work out the rough level or number of something: Try to estimate how many steps it will take to get to a close object. supply chain / s pla t e n/ all the stages involved in a product’s creation: They break up nature’s food supply chain. emission / m n/ n. gas, etc. that is sent out into the air: The government has pledged to clean up industrial emissions.
What can We Do About Food Waste The charity WRAP helped create the report. They suggest: planning meals and how much food we need to only buy what’s needed; turning the fridge down to 5 °C or lower so food stays fresh longer; knowing what signs like “best before” and “use by” mean; using up the food that is left; freezing food to give you more time to eat it.
1．The underlined word “that” probably refers to (指代) the “______”.
A．truck B．food waste C．earth D．environment
2．How many suggestions did WRAP give to deal with food waste
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．Eating frozen food is bad for our health.
B．The United Nations (UN) has 190 member states.
C．There is about 800 million tons of wasted food each year.
D．About two thirds of the food we produce each year is not wasted.
（2026·陕西榆林·二模）As an international student, my camera serves as a bridge between cultures. Yet when I visited a modest red-brick village on the outskirts (市郊) of Xiamen, Fujian, I never expected to find parts of my Malaysian childhood everywhere.
The golden afternoon sun shone on the narrow streets when we filmed. Traditional Minnan-style houses with curved roofs (弧形屋顶) stood close together. We could hear chickens making sounds everywhere. A middle-aged woman wore a floral shirt, carrying a basket of vegetables on her motorcycle. She slowed down and said hello to a neighbor—this scene, with the smell of wet soil after rain, at once took me 3,000 kilometers back to my grandmother’s village near Kuala Lumpur.
Though the buildings are different, the heart of village was the same: shopkeepers knowing their usual customers well, elders asking naughty (顽皮的) children to behave well, and the warm rhythm of daily life. Later, elderly men playing chess under a big tree reminded me of my grandfather’s matches. When one shouted a Minnan phrase like a Hakka curse ( 客家诅咒), I knew, I smiled—their competitiveness went beyond national borders (国界)。
That day, I didn’t just record the village life in China. I found pieces of myself again. The best thing about studying abroad is understanding that we always bring our home with us. Small, common moments can wake this feeling up. These same feelings between people make the world’s borders less important, but make the world feel both bigger and smaller.
1．Which of the following did the writer NOT mention about the village in Xiamen
A．The smell of wet soil after rain. B．Children playing football in the street.

A．Paragraph 3～4. B．Paragraph 2～3. C．Paragraph 1～2. D．Paragraph 2～4.
3．What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph
A．People can feel at home even in a foreign country.

The Boredom Buster is a part of an app called Saplings. It was made to help teenagers deal with a restless mind. Created in 2021 by 16-year-old Vaishnavi Kumbala from the US, the app was born out of her worry for people of her age with mental (精神的) health problems.
“A lot of mental health resources out there are for adults or younger kids,” Kumbala told The Washington Post. She saw many teenagers feel lonely and sad. Some of them are too shy to reach out for help.
While it can’t take the place of doctors, the app can work together with their help.
“The prompts (提醒) in the guided diary are made just for teens,” Kumbala said.
Prompts include questions like “What are the simple things in your life that you shouldn’t take for granted (想当然) ” and “What is your greatest interest How can you use it in your life every day in a small way ” There are also encouraging sayings, including “Stay hungry, stay foolish”.
“I wanted to create something that was by a teen for teens,” Kumbala said. Her app won the 2021 Congressional App Challenge in Louisiana’s First District. The purpose of the competition is to help middle and high school students explore computer science.

Climbing coconut trees is a popular sport in Hainan. It recently became an exciting competition in the 12th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities. On November 21, my friends and I attended the event to feel the excitement of the race.
At the playground, we saw two tall, realistic coconut trees. Li Yan, a judge*, explained, “The athletes (运动员) have to climb to the top of the trees and hit the timers. The fastest one wins.” According to him, male athletes climb to a height of 9 meters, while female athletes climb to 7 meters. As the competition began, athletes from different teams rushed to the trees and reached the top in just a few seconds, using their hands and feet. Everyone in the crowd cheered them on
The excitement was contagious (具有感染力的), and my friends and I couldn’t help but try climbing, too. We ran to the trees, jumped up, and held on to them, but it was much harder than it looked. We didn’t know how to push ourselves up! “You need to use your legs and arms together,” said Pan Zihao, an athlete. “It’s not just about strength, it’s also about speed!” added Li Xu, another athlete.
After two hours of trying, we were tired but happy. When we wrapped it up for the day, a friend asked why climbing coconut trees is so popular in Hainan. “It is a sport that brings you close to nature,” Li Yan replied. “You can enjoy the beautiful things around while having fun.”

In many African countries, the designs on their banknotes (纸币) not only show the historical and cultural achievements of the nation but also present how well China and Africa work together.
Lighting up homes
Kaleta Hydropower Station, built by China, is a famous project in Guinea. The project started in 2012 and was finally connected to the grid (电力网) in 2015.

Many students think math is difficult. They spend hours memorizing formulas (公式) but still make mistakes in exams. The truth is, math is not just about remembering—it’s about understanding. Here are some tips to help you learn math better.
Understand, don’t just memorize. When you learn a new formula, ask yourself why it works. For example, the area of a triangle is 1/2× base× height. Why Because a triangle is half of a rectangle. Understanding the “why” helps you remember longer and use it in different situations.
Practice every day. Math is like a sport—you need to practice to get better. Do a few problems each day instead of many problems at once before a test. This keeps your brain sharp (敏捷的) and helps you remember.
Learn from mistakes. When you get a wrong answer, don’t just move on. Find out where you went wrong. Did you misunderstand the question Did you make a careless mistake Did you use the wrong formula Learning from mistakes is the fastest way to improve.
Connect math to real life. Math is everywhere! When you shop, work out how much you need to pay. When you cook, find out the right amount of food to use. When you play sports, think about angles (倾斜角度) and speed. Seeing math in real life makes it more interesting and meaningful.
Ask questions. If you don’t understand something, ask your teacher or classmates. No question is too silly. Remember, every question you ask brings you one step closer to understanding.
Math may seem hard at first, but with the right methods and enough practice, anyone can become good at it. The key is to keep trying and never give up.

（2026·陕西西安·一模）When I was a little kid, one of my favorite things to do was going to the zoo. I have recently heard that there are debates (辩论) about whether elephants should live in zoos or not. My idea is that elephants should live in zoos for people to see.
Many experts say that elephants have a good life living in zoos. There are 78 zoos that exhibit (展览) elephants. Most zoos are trying to make living conditions better for the elephants. They are doing things such as replacing (替代) hard floors with sand or dirt. This makes it easier for them to walk around. Zoos are also making their elephant houses larger to give the large animals more room to go around.
Zoos also protect endangered animals. According to the World Wildlife Fund, in 2014 the total population of African elephants was around 700,000 and the Asian elephant population was about 32,000. So, the Asian elephants are in danger of dying out. Without zoos, they are all likely to disappear within our lifetime. The National Zoo plans to spend millions of dollars on new Asian elephant habitats (栖息地). That way, they can start their own groups.
Some people want zoos to cancel all of their elephant displays. National Zoo director John Berry says that visitors are allowed to feed and watch elephants closely. This encourages people to care about endangered animals. Once while I was visiting the zoo on a hot day, Big Ben, the largest elephant on display, walked up to me and gently squirted (喷) my face with water from his trunk. Everyone was amazed at what he did. That was a very nice thing for Big Ben to do. I’m sure that elephants are the nicest animals on earth.
I think zoos should follow all the necessary steps to keep elephants in zoos. I will raise money at my school if I think it would help to keep elephants in zoos.
1．Which is TRUE according to the passage
A．The writer thinks elephants should live in forests for people to see.

Leaf-made Paper
Paper is one of the basic products of the modern world. From books to toilet paper, everyone uses paper in daily life. 1 More importantly, the traditional paper-making process uses lots of water and gives off harmful gases, which causes serious air pollution.
What did Releaf Paper discover to replace wood
This is where Releaf Paper comes in. The company has found a green way to make environmentally friendly paper. Instead of using wood, it uses leaves to produce paper, which helps save millions of trees every year. The company was set up by Valentyn Frechka, who has always been interested in biochemistry (生物化学). 2 He first tried making paper from grass but failed, then he turned to leaves and finally achieved great success.

Some European cities collect fallen leaves from their streets and parks and send them to Releaf Paper. Then, using mechanical (机械的) and chemical processes, the company turns the leaves into paper. The new processes use 15 times less water and cause less air pollution than the traditional paper producing model.
Why is the process of leaf-made paper greener
The leaf-made paper is eco-friendly. 4 Frechka said they only use leaves from cities, not forests, because collecting leaves in forests is difficult and will destroy the ecosystem. They get leaves for paper and return lignin (木质素) to the cities. It’s like a win-win model.
How will Releaf Paper develop in the future
