Most people throw away crab and shrimp shells after eating. Tons of shells end up as waste. But, Dr. Rosa Isela from Mexico and her team have turned the waste shells into a white powder called chitosan. This powder is different from plastic—it breaks down easily in the environment. It is safer and can be used in many ways.
Chitosan helps keep fish and shrimp healthy. Fish farmers raise them in big ponds. Sometimes, harmful bacteria (细菌) grow in the water and make the baby shrimp sick. Chitosan has a positive charge (电荷). Bacteria have a negative charge. When chitosan touches bacteria, it sticks to them like a magnet (磁铁). This kills the bacteria or stops them from growing. Farmers add a little chitosan to the pond water. It kills over 90% of the bad bacteria. As a result, more baby shrimp survive and grow strong.
Chitosan can also help keep fruit fresh. Farmers use it to make a special coating (涂层) that works in three ways. First, it kills bacteria to stop the fruit from going bad. Second, it locks water inside to keep the fruit from getting dry. Third, it slows down the fruit’s breathing, so fruit saves energy and stays fresh longer. This means farmers can sell more fruit and reduce waste.
Chitosan is especially important for cities on the coast. People there, both locals and visitors, eat a lot of seafood, so tons of shells are thrown away every day. Now those shells can be used to make chitosan. In this way, waste becomes something useful. This is a good example of how science can turn a problem into a solution. Chitosan helps people and brings us hope for a greener future.

（2026·浙江金华·一模）① Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert spreads across 30 per cent of the land. This huge desert, also known as “the Great Desert” in Arabic, is about 9 million square kilometers in size. It is also at least 4.6 million years old. This means that it is one of the oldest places in the world.
② All deserts are dry, and the Sahara is both dry and hot. It is the largest hot desert in the world. We may think that all deserts are hot, but in fact some deserts are very cold! Many scientists believe that Antarctica, for example, is a type of cold desert.
③ Most of the Sahara is rocky ground. But there are also places with grass, lakes, mountains, and even sand seas. A sand sea is just what it sounds like—it looks like a sea of sand! When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
④ Life in the Sahara is difficult. About two million people live in the Sahara. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
⑤ Not many animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must get used to living in the desert. Camels, for example, go for a long time without drinking water. When they do find water, they can drink more than 100 liters (公升) of it in a very short time. Fennec foxes live in the desert too. They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
⑥ Today, the world’s largest hot desert is getting even bigger. It is now about 10 per cent larger than what it was about a century ago. But why is it growing Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take immediate action, the desert will keep growing!
1．What information does the writer introduce in Paragraph 1
A．Life, location and size. B．History, climate and size. C．Size, climate and geography. D．Size, history and location.
2．What does “sand seas” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Seas with sand under the water. B．Large areas of sand that look like the sea.
C．Lakes and mountains in the desert. D．Rocky ground covered with seawater.
3．How do camels get used to living in the Sahara
A．They have large ears to stay cool. B．They live in places with grass and lakes.
C．They can live without water for a long time. D．They drink more than 100 litres of water every day.
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Climate change is the only reason for the Sahara’s growth.
B．The Sahara Desert will stop growing if the temperature drops.
C．Human activities have no influence on the growth of the Sahara.
D．If we do nothing, the Sahara will become even larger in the future.
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D

We enjoyed our time under the deep blue sky. We had more than enough to eat. We never worried about anything until one day, when I was about three.
②On that day, a group of two-legged strangers appeared in front of us—I found out later that they were humans. Without warning they raised their guns and shot dead my mother and several of my relatives. As I was about to be shot, one of them said, “Keep that little one. He’s handsome and seems smart. We can make greater use of him.” I was then trained and made to do all kinds of stupid acts to make humans laugh.
③Now, years and years later, things are changing for the better. Our population is starting to grow again. My great-great-grandsons and granddaughters are able to move freely across the land. They search for food, water and places to rest. The little ones sometimes break crops and people’s homes. But they are not chased or harmed. There are no angry humans going after them. Instead, people leave them bags of corn and fruit on the roadside. The food leads them in the right direction back to their homeland. Drones (无人机) follow their progress and volunteers protect them from harm. The little ones do not have to worry about anything. They move around without a care in the world. They eat when they are hungry and sleep when tired. They swim in the river and play when they feel like it. No one asks them to move away from their land.
④What a wonderful world this is! This is a world of harmony between man and other animals. In the old world, we were killed for our tusks (象牙). In this new world, humans respect and value all animals.

“Which bag charm (包包挂饰) should I take with me today ” This simple question shows a new fashion across China. If you look around on the streets, you can see different kinds of bag charms. Nowadays, they have become an important part of the “emotional economy (情绪经济)”.
Bag charms are popular mainly because they bring special emotional value. “When I feel tired after an exam, my cute panda charm always cheers me up,” said a student. For teenagers, bag charms also make it easy to start talks and make friends. When they find a classmate with the same charm, they can share their likes. According to Xu Xinyue, a teacher at the Institute for Cultural Industries of Shenzhen University, “Bag charms meet young people’s needs well. They give young people a chance to share their feelings. They bring them happiness, show their own styles and connect them with others.”
Bag charms also influence production in the toy industry. With AI and 3D printing, toy factories can create new cartoon characters fast. A company in Yiwu even makes about 100 kinds of new products every month, or three to four new designs each day. These days, factory orders are becoming smaller and more flexible. They produce only about 50 pieces and test new ideas fast. If the charm is not popular among young people, the factories will design new ones right away. In Shipai, Dongguan, many toy factories work closely together. This helps them make bag charms quickly. With China’s delivery system (运送系统), new charms can reach shops in just three to seven days.
So, which bag charm will you take tomorrow A tiny charm on your bag can be a small piece of who you are. It also shows a new way of making things—smaller, faster, and made just for you.
1．How does the writer lead the topic
A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers.
C．By giving an example. D．By asking a question.
2．What does Xu Xinyue think of bag charms
A．They are cute for young people.
B．They help people with their feelings.
C．They help students do well in exams.
D．They let teachers know students better.
3．What does the underlined word “flexible” in Para. 3 probably means
A．High in price. B．Hard to move. C．Easy to change. D．Large in number.
4．What is the purpose of the text
A．To share different bag charms.
B．To tell the history of bag charms.
C．To show the influence of bag charms.
D．To explain changes in Chinese factories.
【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C
【导语】本文介绍了包包挂饰在中国流行的原因，包括其带来的情绪价值、社交功能以及对玩具产业生产模式的影响。

（2026·浙江嘉兴·一模）China’s Spring Festival Gala surprised the world this year when robots played kung fu on stage.
The robots, which came from four Chinese robotics companies, performed all kinds of difficult tasks. They took part in a funny play and danced to music with humans. The most exciting part was a set of martial arts (武术) when the robots did runs, jumps, turns and fights with child performers.
Last year, robots stepped onto the same stage for the first time. They could only perform simple dances. Georg Stieler, a robotics expert, explained that the robots’ abilities to control their movements and balance have developed so quickly, because the companies focused on using AI software to build robot “brain”.
The humanoid (人形) robot technology has developed rapidly in China. According to a latest research, China produced 90 percent of the world’s humanoid robots last year. It is said that China’s humanoid robot sales will continue to rise and reach more than 28,000 units in 2026.
However, the quick development of AI robots has also raised questions for humanity to consider. AI expert Dr Ramesh Srinivasan said the use of humanoid robots in society would “reshape our futures” as people turn to robots and AI as helpers, friends and even family members.
“What will happen if AI controls robots like these ” Dr Srinivasan asked in an interview. “Will AI and robots take away human jobs What if humanoid robots are used in wars Do we really want this ”
Dr Ramesh Srinivasan said that humans should think more carefully about how to use these humanoid robots properly. “For me, the key is to focus again on people and consider how we can use technology to create a better future. After all, everyone needs to feel safe and well taken care of,”he said.
1．What surprised the world at China’s Spring Festival Gala this year
A．Exciting martial arts by children. B．Amazing performances by robots.
C．A funny musical play about kung fu. D．A competition between humans and robots.
2．Why have robots’ movement and balance improved so quickly
A．Because Georg Stieler trained the robots personally.
B．Because AI software is used to build the robots “brain”.
C．Because robots practiced dancing on stage many times.
D．Because robotics companies have bought new technology.
3．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A．The great progress of robots in China. B．The reason why China made robots.
C．The problems in robot sales in China. D．The future development of Chinese robots.
4．What is Dr Ramesh Srinivasan’s idea about robots
A．He believes robots would replace humans.
B．He thinks robots only bring benefits to people.
C．He hopes robots can be good helpers in the future.
D．He thinks people should use robots in a proper way.
【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D

Sue, 14If someone puts down a book halfway, they’ll never know how it ends. And there might be an unexpected change in the book, which makes the book suddenly interesting.
Wang Fang, 13It’s important to enjoy reading. If you’re forced to read something you don’t like, you might be put off reading in the future. Bob, 16Sometimes, books take time to understand.

October 9th, Lower ReachesToday was the first day of the summer camp. Ms. Ella asked my classmates and me to watch a river in the forest. So we went to the lower reaches. It was such a rainy day and my feet were completely wet! Boring! Another school task! I took some photos because I had to. Who cares about water I just wanted dry socks.
October 10th, Middle ReachesMs. Ella took us to the side channels (河道) of the middle reaches. We found a puddle (水洼) there. The water was calm — as smooth as glass. Ms. Ella told us that the water gets into the ground and finally flows into the river. Okay…and Ms. Ella told us to look more closely. I moved nearer. There were little green balls in the water! I checked my book and found out they are called Volvox algae (团藻). They can make their own food and produce O . How amazing! Maybe watching closely isn’t so bad.
October 11th, Upper ReachesToday was our last day at the river. From the mountain top, we watched it turn and bend (弯曲). “Why do rivers bend ” I asked. Ms. Ella smiled, “Let’s make a model on the sand, so we can learn the rivers’ changes along the way.” We dug a path and poured water from our bottles. Then we learnt that rivers bend because water moves faster on the outside and slower on the inside.
In every long river, the start, the middle and the end can feel like completely different worlds. Just like a famous writer said, “Nature is the best teacher.”
1．What did Ms. Ella ask the writer to do
A．To watch a river. B．To wash socks.
C．To go swimming. D．To enjoy sunny days.
2．How did the writer feel when he found the green balls
A．Bored. B．Amazed. C．Proud. D．Worried.
3．Why did Ms. Ella and her students make a model
A．To dig for more water. B．To collect sand from the river.
C．To make water run slowly. D．To understand rivers’ changes.
4．What did the writer learn from the summer camp
A．Rivers are important to the forest.
B．It’s a good way to learn with classmates.
C．It’s meaningful to explore nature.
D．Watching is better than making a model.
【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．C
【导语】本文通过日记的形式，记录了作者在夏令营期间跟随Ella老师对一条河流下游、中游和上游进行实地考察的经历。作者从最初的感到枯燥，到逐渐被自然现象所吸引，最终领悟到大自然是最好的老师。
1．第一段第一、二句明确指出：“Ms. Ella asked my classmates and me to watch a river in the forest.”。直接说明了老师布置的任务是观察森林里的一条河。
2．第二段末尾提到：“How amazing! Maybe watching closely isn’t so bad.”。描述了作者在发现团藻这种会制造食物并产生氧气的微小生物后发出的感叹，由此可以推断他感到非常惊讶/神奇。
3．第三段第三句明确说明了制作模型的初衷：“so we can learn the rivers’ changes along the way”。指出了通过在沙滩上建模型来学习河流沿途变化规律的目的。
4．最后一段总结道：“Just like a famous writer said, ‘Nature is the best teacher.’”。结合全文，作者通过三天的实地考察，从最初的抱怨转变为对自然的惊叹与深度学习，推断出他认为探索大自然是非常有意义的。
（2026·浙江金华·一模）Long lines for food have become common in cities around the world. Tourists often wait in line for snacks that are not necessarily tasty or healthy. These are usually simple things such as donuts (甜甜圈), fries, or sandwiches.
While the food may be tasty, something else is behind the growing lines.
One reason might be FOMO—fear of missing out. When people see a long line, they think, “There must be something special here,” and don’t want to miss an experience that everyone else seems to be enjoying. So, they join the line, just in case.
But FOMO is only part of the story.
These days, people don’t just travel to taste new food or see new places—they also want to show others what they are doing. Many tourists film themselves standing in line or take selfies (自拍) with their
food. Sometimes, it’s not even about enjoying the snack—it’s about showing they were there.
Most viral snacks are discovered on social media, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram showing people what is popular based on their interests. These apps often suggest the same food places to millions of users, and as a result, many tourists end up visiting the same places they saw online.
However, this can also bring problems, and locals in tourist—heavy areas are starting to push back. In Amsterdam, for example, people living near the popular fries shop Fabel Friet say the crowds and noise are too much. They’ve also asked the city to control the number of tourists who can visit the city each year.
In the end, these long lines are not just about food—they are about being part of something and sharing it with others.
1．Which situation best shows the meaning of FOMO
A．Sam joins his friends to wait for a new snack, afraid to be left out.
B．Amy checks food reviews carefully before trying a new snack.
C．Emma refuses to buy a popular drink because it’s too expensive.
D．Mark leaves the long line quickly because he can’t stand waiting for 10 minutes.
2．What does the underlined words “viral snacks” mean
A．Snacks that are healthy, tasty and popular online.
B．Snacks that have a long history and are loved by locals.
C．Snacks that are made with something bad for health.
D．Snacks that spread quickly online and then become very popular.
3．Which picture is most likely the illustration (插图) of this passage
A． B． C． D．
4．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To tell tourists how to avoid waiting in long lines.
B．To introduce some popular snacks around the world.
C．To advise social media to stop sharing popular food places.
D．To explain why long lines for food happen and the problems they cause.
【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了世界各地城市里食物长队变得常见这一现象，分析了背后存在的原因，包括害怕错过（FOMO）、人们想展示自己的行为以及社交媒体的影响等，还指出了这种现象带来的问题，最后总结这些长队不只是关于食物，还关乎参与和分享。
1．第三段指出原因：“One reason might be FOMO—fear of missing out. When people see a long line, they think, ‘There must be something special here,’ and don't want to miss an experience that everyone else seems to be enjoying. So, they join the line, just in case.”这直接说明了害怕错过（FOMO）是人们看到长队会加入的原因，选项A中Sam害怕被落下而加入朋友排队等新零食，符合FOMO的含义。
2．第五段说明原因：“Most viral snacks are discovered on social media, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram showing people what is popular based on their interests. These apps often suggest the same food places to millions of users, and as a result, many tourists end up visiting the same places they saw online.”这表明“viral snacks”是在社交媒体上被发现，很多游客会去这些网上看到的地方，说明这些零食是在网上快速传播然后变得非常受欢迎的，所以“viral snacks”意思是“在网上快速传播然后变得非常受欢迎的零食”。
3．文章主要围绕食物长队展开，插图应与食物长队相关，选项B呈现的是人们排队买食物的场景，符合文章主题。
4．最后一段总结：“In the end, these long lines are not just about food—they are about being part of something and sharing it with others.”结合前文对食物长队原因和带来问题的阐述，说明文章主要目的是解释食物长队出现的原因以及它们带来的问题。

（2026·浙江舟山·一模）In Chinese, what word do you usually use to call your mother It’s “Mama,” isn’t it And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy.” In French, the word is “Maman,” and in German, it’s “Mutter.”
Have you noticed what these words for “mother” have in common Well, they all have a sound close to “m.” In the same way, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for most other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar
The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah.” A baby can make this sound without using his tongue or lips (嘴唇). Then, if he wants to change the sound a little bit, the easiest way is to break it up by closing his lips for a while. And so, the baby ends up with the sound “mah.” Babies are just playing while “speaking” in this way.
However, adults, don’t hear them that way. When a baby says “mah mah,” it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the baby usually calls so early in life is his mother. The mother takes “mah” as a name for her. And when speaking to her child, she calls herself “mama.” Gradually, the sound “mama” comes to mean “mother.” This happens with human babies all over the world.
After babies learn to make “m” with their lips, they often put their lips together to produce the sound “bah” or “pah.” When they make this sound, it is thought they are calling their second closest caretaker: their father.
That’s why you call your mother “mama,” and your father “baba.” You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds.
1．What sound do the words for “father” almost all have over the world
A．“m” or “b”. B．“b” or “p”. C．“b” or “ah”. D．“m” or “p”.
2．According to the text, what are babies doing when they make the sound “mah”
A．They are playing by themselves. B．They are calling their father.
C．They are looking for their mother. D．They are asking for food.
3．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in Paragraph 4
A．How “mama” comes to mean “mother”.
B．What babies learn in their early life.
C．How babies play with their mothers.
D．What “mama” means in different countries.
4．What’s the main idea of the text
A．It introduces whom babies love playing with.
B．It explains how parents teach their babies to talk.
C．It describes when babies start to talk to their parents.
D．It shows why sounds for mother and father are similar worldwide.
【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．D
【导语】本文通过不同语言中“妈妈”“爸爸”的发音相似性，解释了婴儿发音与父母称呼的关联，说明全球范围内父母称呼发音相似的原因。
1．第一段提到“the words for ‘father’ almost all have the sound ‘b’ or ‘p’”，可知全世界“爸爸”相关词汇几乎都有/b/或/p/的发音。
2．第三段提到“Babies are just playing while ‘speaking’ in this way.”，婴儿发出“mah”的声音时只是在玩耍。
3．第四段提到“Gradually, the sound ‘mama’ comes to mean ‘mother’. This happens with human babies all over the world.”，可知“This”指代的是“mama”如何演变为“妈妈”的含义。
4．文章围绕全球范围内“妈妈”“爸爸”发音相似的原因展开，解释了背后婴儿发音、父母认知的关联，核心是说明父母称呼发音相似的原因。

（2026·浙江衢州·一模）
At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚), a robot show called Yang-BOT amazed everyone. It was the world’s first large AI-driven robot performance. A year later, in 2026, the show took it to a new level. It was performed by robots from the Chinese company Unitree together with over 80 students from Henan.
On the stage, the robots did some very difficult Kung Fu moves. For example, they performed backflips (后空翻) and jumped nearly three meters high into the air. They also used their hands to wave wooden sticks, just like real Kung Fu masters. It was a wonderful mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology.
How could the robots be so “smart” Wang Xingxing, the founder of Unitree Robotics, shared the secret. He said, “The robots practiced over 100 million times in a computer simulation (模拟) before they stepped onto the real stage. This is called ‘Reinforcement Learning.’ It helps robots learn how to keep balance and finish difficult moves. Every single move was the result of hundreds of millions of tries in the computer.”
The Wu-BOT show was a big step forward. In the past, robots only performed simple dances. But this time, all 26 robots acted on their own, without any outside help. Wu-BOT is more than just a show. It proves that Chinese-made robots are no longer just following orders. They are becoming faster and stronger. In fact, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics. True, robots are still in the early stages, and don’t have everyday uses yet. But when you look at what has happened in such a short time, you’ll probably say, “The future is much closer than I expected.”
1．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．The Yang-BOT show. B．The Wu-BOT performance.

2．Why could the robots be so “smart” according to Wang Xingxing
A．They kept practicing in a computer. B．They learned from other smart robots.
C．They trained at school with students. D．They followed human orders on the stage.

（2026·浙江嘉兴·一模）Most of us have secret gardens, somewhere we can relax and refresh. For me, since I can remember, that world has been books.
Like many children, books first drew me in through their pictures. The books and cartoons I read as a child helped me learn to love colours, and understand lines and drawings.
In time, words became more important. I often found happiness in the school library during my middle school years. It had beautiful wooden shelves with glass doors and inside were all kinds of surprising books. There were old encyclopaedias (百科全书), collections of old magazines, and novels that people had almost forgotten. I loved exploring those shelves and discovering new stories.
In the school holidays there was the mobile library. A grey van (货车) would arrive outside our village on Thursday mornings and it was full of plastic-covered books, from love stories to exciting adventures. Again, I was lucky. My parents loved reading. They gave us only a little pocket money, called “Saturday pennies”, but they always made sure we had many new books to read during the summer.
When I was a young boy, I sometimes chose books just to look smart. I wanted people to think I read serious books. But then something changed. I found that although I had read many books, I didn’t really understand many of them. I had finished them quickly and soon forgot about them.
So, bit by bit, I start again. Over the past few years I have begun to reread. Now I’m a patient reader, ing back with older eyes and more life experience, the books that once seemed difficult and boring have become interesting and meaningful. And I know that reading is not about showing off. It is about finding books that truly speak to you.

（2026·浙江舟山·一模）Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient way of health care in China with a history of thousands of years. It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping Yin and Yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness.
One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick.
_________. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center.
TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit.

（2026·浙江嘉兴·一模）China’s Spring Festival Gala surprised the world this year when robots did kung fu on stage.
The robots, which came from four Chinese robotics companies, performed all kinds of difficult tasks. They took part in a funny play and danced to music with humans. The most exciting part was a set of martial arts (武术) when the robots did runs, jumps, turns and fights with child performers.
Last year, robots stepped onto the same stage for the first time. They could only perform simple dances. Georg Stieler, a robotics expert, explained that the robots’ abilities to control their movements and balance have developed so quickly, because the companies focused on using AI software to build robot “brain”.
The humanoid (人形) robot technology has developed rapidly in China. According to the latest research, China produced 90 percent of the world’s humanoid robots last year. It is said that China’s humanoid robot sales will continue to rise and reach more than 28,000 units in 2026.
However, the quick development of AI robots has also raised questions for humanity to consider. AI expert Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan said the use of humanoid robots in society would “reshape our future” as people turn to robots and AI as helpers, friends and even family members.
“What will happen if AI controls robots like these ” Dr. Srinivasan asked in an interview. “Will AI and robots take away human jobs What if humanoid robots are used in wars Do we really want this ”
Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan said that humans should think more carefully about how to use these humanoid robots properly. “For me, the key is to focus again on people and consider how we can use technology to create a better future. After all, everyone needs to feel safe and well taken care of,” he said.
1．What surprised the world at China’s Spring Festival Gala this year
A．Exciting martial arts by children. B．Amazing performances by robots.

B．Because AI software is used to build the robots’ “brain”.
C．Because robots practiced dancing on stage many times.
D．Because robotics companies have bought new technology.
3．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about
A．The great progress of robots in China. B．The reason why China made robots.
C．The problems in robot sales in China. D．The price of humanoid robots in 2026.
4．What is Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan’s idea about robots

When he was only 12, he started working in a coal mine with his father. After taking the national college entrance exam twice, he finally passed the exam at 19 with a score over 500 and entered a college.
Later, he worked much harder to receive both a master’s and a doctor’s degree. For his doctor’s degree, a lot of field research was required, so he stayed in Xinjiang for a year. The weather there was terribly cold and the living conditions were really hard, but he never stopped. While studying, he also took on many other difficult jobs during breaks. Once he worked in an electronic factory in Shanghai to support himself.
He thanked his teacher for believing in him, helping him, and teaching him important research skills. He also thanked his family and friends who gave him support and love. He believes that doing your best and taking action is what really matters. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Just do things with courage and careful planning.”

（2026·浙江嘉兴·一模）Horses have lived with humans for a long time, so they are loyal (忠诚的) partners. Because of this, they are important in many parts of human life. Across different cultures, horses have held special meanings. They have shaped traditions, appeared in ancient stories, and even influenced the way people think today.
In Western traditions, horses stand for power, speed, and freedom. The image (形象) of an American cowboy who is riding across the open land makes people feel a sense of adventure. In European history, soldiers rode horses to fight, so horses were often seen as symbols of power and honor.
In ancient stories, horses would appear in different forms. In Greek stories, Pegasus was a clever horse with wings that could both run and fly quickly. In Norse stories, there was a famous eight-legged horse called Sleipnir, which was a symbol of courage and magic.
In modern times, horses are still playing important roles in human life. There are many horse competitions, such as the Kentucky Derby and events in the Olympics. Horses are also used in therapy programs to help people with health problems. Their kindness and ability to learn make them great partners to patients.
As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the horse means the spirit of being brave and keeping heading forward. People born in the Year of the Horse are often believed to be active and hardworking.

Most people throw away crab and shrimp shells after eating. Tons of shells end up as waste. But, Dr. Rosa Isela from Mexico and her team have turned the waste shells into a white powder called chitosan. This powder is different from plastic—it breaks down easily in the environment. It is safer and can be used in many ways.
Chitosan helps keep fish and shrimp healthy. Fish farmers raise them in big ponds. Sometimes, harmful bacteria (细菌) grow in the water and make the baby shrimp sick. Chitosan has a positive charge (电荷). Bacteria have a negative charge. When chitosan touches bacteria, it sticks to them like a magnet (磁铁). This kills the bacteria or stops them from growing. Farmers add a little chitosan to the pond water. It kills over 90% of the bad bacteria. As a result, more baby shrimp survive and grow strong.
Chitosan can also help keep fruit fresh. Farmers use it to make a special coating (涂层) that works in three ways. First, it kills bacteria to stop the fruit from going bad. Second, it locks water inside to keep the fruit from getting dry. Third, it slows down the fruit’s breathing, so fruit saves energy and stays fresh longer. This means farmers can sell more fruit and reduce waste.
Chitosan is especially important for cities on the coast. People there, both locals and visitors, eat a lot of seafood, so tons of shells are thrown away every day. Now those shells can be used to make chitosan. In this way, waste becomes something useful. This is a good example of how science can turn a problem into a solution. Chitosan helps people and brings us hope for a greener future.
1．What is chitosan made from
A．Sea shells. B．Clean water. C．Fresh fruit. D．Plastic waste.
2．According to the text, what are the uses of chitosan
① It keeps fish healthy. ② It locks water inside fruit.
③ It serves as food for fish. ④ It slows down fruit’s breathing.
A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④
3．Why is chitosan important to cities on the coast
A．It makes seafood more delicious.
B．It protects the cities’ environment.
C．It brings more visitors to the cities.
D．It creates new jobs for local people.
4．What is the best title for the text
A．Chitosan: Turn Waste into Worth
B．Chitosan: Enjoy Life with Seafood
C．Chitosan: A Material to Save the Sea
D．Chitosan: A way to Keep Fruit Fresh
（2026·浙江金华·一模）① Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert spreads across 30 per cent of the land. This huge desert, also known as “the Great Desert” in Arabic, is about 9 million square kilometers in size. It is also at least 4.6 million years old. This means that it is one of the oldest places in the world.
② All deserts are dry, and the Sahara is both dry and hot. It is the largest hot desert in the world. We may think that all deserts are hot, but in fact some deserts are very cold! Many scientists believe that Antarctica, for example, is a type of cold desert.
③ Most of the Sahara is rocky ground. But there are also places with grass, lakes, mountains, and even sand seas. A sand sea is just what it sounds like—it looks like a sea of sand! When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
④ Life in the Sahara is difficult. About two million people live in the Sahara. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
⑤ Not many animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must get used to living in the desert. Camels, for example, go for a long time without drinking water. When they do find water, they can drink more than 100 liters (公升) of it in a very short time. Fennec foxes live in the desert too. They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
⑥ Today, the world’s largest hot desert is getting even bigger. It is now about 10 per cent larger than what it was about a century ago. But why is it growing Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take immediate action, the desert will keep growing!
1．What information does the writer introduce in Paragraph 1
A．Life, location and size. B．History, climate and size. C．Size, climate and geography. D．Size, history and location.
2．What does “sand seas” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Seas with sand under the water. B．Large areas of sand that look like the sea.
C．Lakes and mountains in the desert. D．Rocky ground covered with seawater.
3．How do camels get used to living in the Sahara
A．They have large ears to stay cool. B．They live in places with grass and lakes.
C．They can live without water for a long time. D．They drink more than 100 litres of water every day.
4．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．Climate change is the only reason for the Sahara’s growth.
B．The Sahara Desert will stop growing if the temperature drops.
C．Human activities have no influence on the growth of the Sahara.
D．If we do nothing, the Sahara will become even larger in the future.

We enjoyed our time under the deep blue sky. We had more than enough to eat. We never worried about anything until one day, when I was about three.
②On that day, a group of two-legged strangers appeared in front of us—I found out later that they were humans. Without warning they raised their guns and shot dead my mother and several of my relatives. As I was about to be shot, one of them said, “Keep that little one. He’s handsome and seems smart. We can make greater use of him.” I was then trained and made to do all kinds of stupid acts to make humans laugh.
③Now, years and years later, things are changing for the better. Our population is starting to grow again. My great-great-grandsons and granddaughters are able to move freely across the land. They search for food, water and places to rest. The little ones sometimes break crops and people’s homes. But they are not chased or harmed. There are no angry humans going after them. Instead, people leave them bags of corn and fruit on the roadside. The food leads them in the right direction back to their homeland. Drones (无人机) follow their progress and volunteers protect them from harm. The little ones do not have to worry about anything. They move around without a care in the world. They eat when they are hungry and sleep when tired. They swim in the river and play when they feel like it. No one asks them to move away from their land.
④What a wonderful world this is! This is a world of harmony between man and other animals. In the old world, we were killed for our tusks (象牙). In this new world, humans respect and value all animals.

“Which bag charm (包包挂饰) should I take with me today ” This simple question shows a new fashion across China. If you look around on the streets, you can see different kinds of bag charms. Nowadays, they have become an important part of the “emotional economy (情绪经济)”.
Bag charms are popular mainly because they bring special emotional value. “When I feel tired after an exam, my cute panda charm always cheers me up,” said a student. For teenagers, bag charms also make it easy to start talks and make friends. When they find a classmate with the same charm, they can share their likes. According to Xu Xinyue, a teacher at the Institute for Cultural Industries of Shenzhen University, “Bag charms meet young people’s needs well. They give young people a chance to share their feelings. They bring them happiness, show their own styles and connect them with others.”
Bag charms also influence production in the toy industry. With AI and 3D printing, toy factories can create new cartoon characters fast. A company in Yiwu even makes about 100 kinds of new products every month, or three to four new designs each day. These days, factory orders are becoming smaller and more flexible. They produce only about 50 pieces and test new ideas fast. If the charm is not popular among young people, the factories will design new ones right away. In Shipai, Dongguan, many toy factories work closely together. This helps them make bag charms quickly. With China’s delivery system (运送系统), new charms can reach shops in just three to seven days.
So, which bag charm will you take tomorrow A tiny charm on your bag can be a small piece of who you are. It also shows a new way of making things—smaller, faster, and made just for you.
1．How does the writer lead the topic
A．By telling a story. B．By listing numbers.

A．High in price. B．Hard to move. C．Easy to change. D．Large in number.

The robots, which came from four Chinese robotics companies, performed all kinds of difficult tasks. They took part in a funny play and danced to music with humans. The most exciting part was a set of martial arts (武术) when the robots did runs, jumps, turns and fights with child performers.
Last year, robots stepped onto the same stage for the first time. They could only perform simple dances. Georg Stieler, a robotics expert, explained that the robots’ abilities to control their movements and balance have developed so quickly, because the companies focused on using AI software to build robot “brain”.
The humanoid (人形) robot technology has developed rapidly in China. According to a latest research, China produced 90 percent of the world’s humanoid robots last year. It is said that China’s humanoid robot sales will continue to rise and reach more than 28,000 units in 2026.
However, the quick development of AI robots has also raised questions for humanity to consider. AI expert Dr Ramesh Srinivasan said the use of humanoid robots in society would “reshape our futures” as people turn to robots and AI as helpers, friends and even family members.
“What will happen if AI controls robots like these ” Dr Srinivasan asked in an interview. “Will AI and robots take away human jobs What if humanoid robots are used in wars Do we really want this ”
Dr Ramesh Srinivasan said that humans should think more carefully about how to use these humanoid robots properly. “For me, the key is to focus again on people and consider how we can use technology to create a better future. After all, everyone needs to feel safe and well taken care of,”he said.

October 9th, Lower ReachesToday was the first day of the summer camp. Ms. Ella asked my classmates and me to watch a river in the forest. So we went to the lower reaches. It was such a rainy day and my feet were completely wet! Boring! Another school task! I took some photos because I had to. Who cares about water I just wanted dry socks.
October 10th, Middle ReachesMs. Ella took us to the side channels (河道) of the middle reaches. We found a puddle (水洼) there. The water was calm — as smooth as glass. Ms. Ella told us that the water gets into the ground and finally flows into the river. Okay…and Ms. Ella told us to look more closely. I moved nearer. There were little green balls in the water! I checked my book and found out they are called Volvox algae (团藻). They can make their own food and produce O . How amazing! Maybe watching closely isn’t so bad.
October 11th, Upper ReachesToday was our last day at the river. From the mountain top, we watched it turn and bend (弯曲). “Why do rivers bend ” I asked. Ms. Ella smiled, “Let’s make a model on the sand, so we can learn the rivers’ changes along the way.” We dug a path and poured water from our bottles. Then we learnt that rivers bend because water moves faster on the outside and slower on the inside.
In every long river, the start, the middle and the end can feel like completely different worlds. Just like a famous writer said, “Nature is the best teacher.”
1．What did Ms. Ella ask the writer to do
A．To watch a river. B．To wash socks.
C．To go swimming. D．To enjoy sunny days.

（2026·浙江金华·一模）Long lines for food have become common in cities around the world. Tourists often wait in line for snacks that are not necessarily tasty or healthy. These are usually simple things such as donuts (甜甜圈), fries, or sandwiches.
While the food may be tasty, something else is behind the growing lines.
One reason might be FOMO—fear of missing out. When people see a long line, they think, “There must be something special here,” and don’t want to miss an experience that everyone else seems to be enjoying. So, they join the line, just in case.
But FOMO is only part of the story.
These days, people don’t just travel to taste new food or see new places—they also want to show others what they are doing. Many tourists film themselves standing in line or take selfies (自拍) with their
food. Sometimes, it’s not even about enjoying the snack—it’s about showing they were there.
Most viral snacks are discovered on social media, with platforms like TikTok and Instagram showing people what is popular based on their interests. These apps often suggest the same food places to millions of users, and as a result, many tourists end up visiting the same places they saw online.
However, this can also bring problems, and locals in tourist—heavy areas are starting to push back. In Amsterdam, for example, people living near the popular fries shop Fabel Friet say the crowds and noise are too much. They’ve also asked the city to control the number of tourists who can visit the city each year.
In the end, these long lines are not just about food—they are about being part of something and sharing it with others.
1．Which situation best shows the meaning of FOMO
A．Sam joins his friends to wait for a new snack, afraid to be left out.
B．Amy checks food reviews carefully before trying a new snack.
C．Emma refuses to buy a popular drink because it’s too expensive.
D．Mark leaves the long line quickly because he can’t stand waiting for 10 minutes.
2．What does the underlined words “viral snacks” mean
A．Snacks that are healthy, tasty and popular online.
B．Snacks that have a long history and are loved by locals.
C．Snacks that are made with something bad for health.
D．Snacks that spread quickly online and then become very popular.
3．Which picture is most likely the illustration (插图) of this passage
A． B． C． D．
4．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To tell tourists how to avoid waiting in long lines.
B．To introduce some popular snacks around the world.
C．To advise social media to stop sharing popular food places.
D．To explain why long lines for food happen and the problems they cause.

（2026·浙江舟山·一模）In Chinese, what word do you usually use to call your mother It’s “Mama,” isn’t it And as you know, in America, kids call their mother “Mom” or “Mommy.” In French, the word is “Maman,” and in German, it’s “Mutter.”
Have you noticed what these words for “mother” have in common Well, they all have a sound close to “m.” In the same way, the words for “father” almost all have the sound “b” or “p”. There are over 7,000 languages around the world. The words for most other things are usually very different from one language to another. But why are the words for “mother” and “father” so similar
The answer lies in how babies start to talk. The easiest sound a baby can make is “ah.” A baby can make this sound without using his tongue or lips (嘴唇). Then, if he wants to change the sound a little bit, the easiest way is to break it up by closing his lips for a while. And so, the baby ends up with the sound “mah.” Babies are just playing while “speaking” in this way.
However, adults, don’t hear them that way. When a baby says “mah mah,” it sounds as if he is calling someone. And the person that the baby usually calls so early in life is his mother. The mother takes “mah” as a name for her. And when speaking to her child, she calls herself “mama.” Gradually, the sound “mama” comes to mean “mother.” This happens with human babies all over the world.
After babies learn to make “m” with their lips, they often put their lips together to produce the sound “bah” or “pah.” When they make this sound, it is thought they are calling their second closest caretaker: their father.
That’s why you call your mother “mama,” and your father “baba.” You have been doing this ever since you started to make sounds.
1．What sound do the words for “father” almost all have over the world
A．“m” or “b”. B．“b” or “p”. C．“b” or “ah”. D．“m” or “p”.

⑥“The night isn’t over yet. Go to the balcony and wait,” Grandma smiled softly.
⑦After dinner, I couldn’t find Grandma anywhere. I went to the balcony alone, staring at the dark sky and still hoping to see a shooting star.
⑧Suddenly, the sky was lit up. I nearly shouted out. A shooting star But then—boom—gold sparks (火花) danced above me and fell slowly. It was fireworks! Before I could catch my breath, another followed, a shining blue, then a red, painting the quiet night with bright colors.
⑨My heart jumped with joy and wonder. When I turned around, I saw Grandma standing in the doorway, with an empty firework box in her left hand. “Do you like the shooting stars tonight ” She smiled.
⑩At that very moment, I realized: I may not be “lucky” in the traditional way, but I know I AM truly lucky.

At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala (春晚), a robot show called Yang-BOT amazed everyone. It was the world’s first large AI-driven robot performance. A year later, in 2026, the show took it to a new level. It was performed by robots from the Chinese company Unitree together with over 80 students from Henan.
On the stage, the robots did some very difficult Kung Fu moves. For example, they performed backflips (后空翻) and jumped nearly three meters high into the air. They also used their hands to wave wooden sticks, just like real Kung Fu masters. It was a wonderful mix of traditional Chinese culture and modern technology.
How could the robots be so “smart” Wang Xingxing, the founder of Unitree Robotics, shared the secret. He said, “The robots practiced over 100 million times in a computer simulation (模拟) before they stepped onto the real stage. This is called ‘Reinforcement Learning.’ It helps robots learn how to keep balance and finish difficult moves. Every single move was the result of hundreds of millions of tries in the computer.”
The Wu-BOT show was a big step forward. In the past, robots only performed simple dances. But this time, all 26 robots acted on their own, without any outside help. Wu-BOT is more than just a show. It proves that Chinese-made robots are no longer just following orders. They are becoming faster and stronger. In fact, China is already ahead of the rest of the world in robotics. True, robots are still in the early stages, and don’t have everyday uses yet. But when you look at what has happened in such a short time, you’ll probably say, “The future is much closer than I expected.”

（2026·浙江嘉兴·一模）Most of us have secret gardens, somewhere we can relax and refresh. For me, since I can remember, that world has been books.
Like many children, books first drew me in through their pictures. The books and cartoons I read as a child helped me learn to love colours, and understand lines and drawings.
In time, words became more important. I often found happiness in the school library during my middle school years. It had beautiful wooden shelves with glass doors and inside were all kinds of surprising books. There were old encyclopaedias (百科全书), collections of old magazines, and novels that people had almost forgotten. I loved exploring those shelves and discovering new stories.
In the school holidays there was the mobile library. A grey van (货车) would arrive outside our village on Thursday mornings and it was full of plastic-covered books, from love stories to exciting adventures. Again, I was lucky. My parents loved reading. They gave us only a little pocket money, called “Saturday pennies”, but they always made sure we had many new books to read during the summer.
When I was a young boy, I sometimes chose books just to look smart. I wanted people to think I read serious books. But then something changed. I found that although I had read many books, I didn’t really understand many of them. I had finished them quickly and soon forgot about them.
So, bit by bit, I start again. Over the past few years I have begun to reread. Now I’m a patient reader, ing back with older eyes and more life experience, the books that once seemed difficult and boring have become interesting and meaningful. And I know that reading is not about showing off. It is about finding books that truly speak to you.

（2026·浙江舟山·一模）Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an ancient way of health care in China with a history of thousands of years. It is quite different from modern hospital medicine. TCM focuses on keeping Yin and Yang in balance and making sure the body’s energy runs well. It uses natural methods to help people stay healthy and fight off the illness.
One of the most famous parts of TCM is herbs. For example, if we cough, TCM-trained doctors might give us tea made from herbs, which can help our throat feel better. Another part of TCM is acupuncture. Acupuncture uses thin needles (针) that are gently put into our skin. Though it may sound scary, it’s not painful at all. Besides these, TCM also values a balanced lifestyle and healthy eating habits. TCM doctors believe these good habits can help people stay healthy and avoid getting sick.
_________. A TCM hospital in Heihe, Heilongjiang Province, has become a popular place for Russian patients. A Russian woman, Yelena, had back problems for years. She felt much better after only two TCM treatments, and she now deeply believes in TCM. To serve the needs of its growing international patients, the hospital now has a medical team of doctors who can speak both Chinese and Russian. Russian patients can make appointments (预约) online with their passports and get medical help during their visit. Besides Russia, other countries also show great interest in TCM. For example, a Canadian college is partnering with a TCM hospital in Sanya to set up a new treatment center.
TCM is not only for patients, more and more young people in cities are developing a love for TCM. Some hospitals offer herbal tea to help people lose weight. In Shanghai, TCM ice cream is an unexpected hit with young people. Also, many young people are learning to do exercises like Baduanjin from social media videos to stay fit.

（2026·浙江衢州·一模）Aeroponics is a way of growing plants in air or mist (水雾) without soil. It has a long history. Many people believe it is the future of plant growing. However, for a long time, this technology was only used in labs or big farms. Ordinary people could never try it by themselves. Now, with the world’s first soil-free growing system on the desk, everyone can try this special way of planting easily at home.
Such a wonderful system comes from a great product—the Izestee Plant Cultivator. It is not a common plant pot. It looks like a clear box. In it, the roots hang in the air with no soil or water around, and only mist comes out slowly from the bottom of the pot. So people can watch the roots grow in real time, such as how fast they grow and how they grow new parts, and find early problems with the roots in time.
Besides the parts that send out water at the bottom, Izestee has other useful parts. For example, it has a heating system inside with a highest temperature of 45℃. It also includes a watering system with three mist modes (模式). It can provide the right amount of water for different plants. What’s more, it provides a special light. The light is like natural sunlight. Even if there is not much sunshine indoors, the plants can grow well.
Izestee really takes the cool technology into everyone’s daily life. It is really amazing to watch the plant grow new roots on your desk. This product helps people get closer to nature and fall in love with planting. Its website says that with Izestee, plant growth becomes a live show that people can watch every day at home.

（2026·浙江嘉兴·一模）China’s Spring Festival Gala surprised the world this year when robots did kung fu on stage.
The robots, which came from four Chinese robotics companies, performed all kinds of difficult tasks. They took part in a funny play and danced to music with humans. The most exciting part was a set of martial arts (武术) when the robots did runs, jumps, turns and fights with child performers.
Last year, robots stepped onto the same stage for the first time. They could only perform simple dances. Georg Stieler, a robotics expert, explained that the robots’ abilities to control their movements and balance have developed so quickly, because the companies focused on using AI software to build robot “brain”.
The humanoid (人形) robot technology has developed rapidly in China. According to the latest research, China produced 90 percent of the world’s humanoid robots last year. It is said that China’s humanoid robot sales will continue to rise and reach more than 28,000 units in 2026.
However, the quick development of AI robots has also raised questions for humanity to consider. AI expert Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan said the use of humanoid robots in society would “reshape our future” as people turn to robots and AI as helpers, friends and even family members.
“What will happen if AI controls robots like these ” Dr. Srinivasan asked in an interview. “Will AI and robots take away human jobs What if humanoid robots are used in wars Do we really want this ”
Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan said that humans should think more carefully about how to use these humanoid robots properly. “For me, the key is to focus again on people and consider how we can use technology to create a better future. After all, everyone needs to feel safe and well taken care of,” he said.

Across different cultures, horses have held special meanings. They have shaped traditions, appeared in ancient stories, and even influenced the way people think today.
In Western traditions, horses stand for power, speed, and freedom. The image (形象) of an American cowboy who is riding across the open land makes people feel a sense of adventure. In European history, soldiers rode horses to fight, so horses were often seen as symbols of power and honor.
In ancient stories, horses would appear in different forms. In Greek stories, Pegasus was a clever horse with wings that could both run and fly quickly. In Norse stories, there was a famous eight-legged horse called Sleipnir, which was a symbol of courage and magic.
In modern times, horses are still playing important roles in human life. There are many horse competitions, such as the Kentucky Derby and events in the Olympics. Horses are also used in therapy programs to help people with health problems. Their kindness and ability to learn make them great partners to patients.
As the seventh animal in the Chinese zodiac (生肖), the horse means the spirit of being brave and keeping heading forward. People born in the Year of the Horse are often believed to be active and hardworking.
Horses have had a great influence on cultures around the world. Their importance goes beyond history, and people continue to admire them today. Whether in ancient stories or modern sports, horses remain a common symbol of power, loyalty, and freedom.

（2026·浙江衢州·一模）For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to watch the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy (经济) turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university. Almost all of us school-leavers had degrees, but a very uncertain future.
The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any chances, so I packed up my things and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four, and after getting refused from 100 jobs, I found myself in the same situation as I was in before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in fear That feeling became constant (持续不断的) in my life. ▲ And the worst part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress.
So what did I do to keep my good sense I decided to write. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little more shining. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!
I put my unhappiness into a children’s book. Beyond the River is the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who refused to give up his dream. And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or connections in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and push—I was offered a publishing deal for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I had an interview with the Walt Disney Company and got the job shortly after.
Don’t give up. Even if things don’t seem smooth now, don’t give up. If you work hard, things will always get better. Most of the time, our dreams are not far away—They’re just waiting for us. All we need is the courage to push beyond the river.

（2026·浙江衢州·一模）Twenty years ago, when Andrew Westbrook was in college, he had a hard time putting his mind to class. He certainly had the ability to focus (集中注意力). For example, when he got lost in a good book, thinking felt easy. But when it came to some other mental (脑力的) tasks, thinking was like pulling teeth and his attention was off.
Westbrook is now a scientist. His research is challenging old ideas about why we can’t keep our attention on certain tasks.
For years, scientists thought that mentally tiring tasks like solving math problems required more energy than easier ones like looking out of the window. As a result, these harder tasks would make us run out of energy and lose focus more quickly.
However, Westbrook’s research suggests our brain is always working hard. Even when we are just looking around a room, our brain is working on lots of information and using lots of energy. But we don’t find these tasks tiring. The real problem is that difficult tasks require different brain areas to work with each other in new ways. The brain has to break out of its usual ways, which causes discomfort and makes these tasks seem harder than they really are.
“Thinking about beginning a hard task feels harder than actually doing it,” Westbrook says. This early mental difficulty can lead us to put off the task or even avoid trying. “If we can get over it, thinking will become easier,” he adds.
Westbrook’s team has found ways to help us do that. For one, he suggests focusing on the good results of completing the task instead of how hard it will be. We can also try to get into “flow (心流)”. When people are in “flow”, they seem not to care how hard the task is. One key to entering “flow” is to reduce the things we are not sure about. Before writing a book report, for example, you can set yourself a goal, like finishing it in 15 minutes. Finally, it can help to make these mentally tiring tasks a habit. Try doing them at the same time and place every day or week. After a few weeks, focusing on these tasks won’t just feel easier—it will be easier.
1．How does the writer introduce the topic
A．By giving an example. B．By showing advice.
C．By asking questions. D．By listing numbers.
2．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Easy tasks need no attention at all.
B．All mental tasks cost the same energy.
C．Looking out is hard for people’s brain.
D．People lose focus because they’re tired.

Have you ever started a book, got a few pages in, and realized that it wasn’t as interesting as the cover suggested If you have, you were probably faced with a dilemma: should you keep reading the book or put it down and find something else What would you do Is it OK to stop reading a book before finishing it
YES. It’s OK to stop. NO. It’s better to keep reading.
There are lots of great books waiting to be read in the world, so it is meaningless to spend hours and days reading a story that isn't interesting. If a TV show isn’t interesting, most people would choose something else. It should be the same for books. I think it’s up to you to decide which book is right for you to read. It’s important to enjoy reading. If you’re forced to read something you don’t like, you might be put off reading in the future. Some of the most famous books ever written are difficult to read, with lots of characters and story lines to remember. It’s an important skill to keep going and get to the end. If someone puts down a book halfway, they’ll never know how it ends. And there might be an unexpected change in the book, which makes the book suddenly interesting. Sometimes, books take time to understand. As you read more, you can learn something new or see the world in a different way. Reading isn’t always about fun. It’s also about thinking.

（2026·浙江湖州·一模）Am I Real or AI Imagine you are shown 10 photos of faces and told that half are real, and the other half are made by AI. Can you recognize (识别) the real ones just by looking
You might think this is an easy task, but a new study shows it is far more challenging than we believe. Today’s AI-generated (生成) faces look surprisingly real, making it difficult for most people to tell the difference.
Researchers tested 125 people to see if they could discover which faces were AI-made. One-third of them were “super recognizers” — people who are especially skilled at remembering and recognizing faces in daily life. However, in this study, these experts got only 57% correct on average, while the other people got 51% correct, almost no different from blind guessing.
Early AI-generated faces often had clear mistakes and were easy to notice. As AI technology improves rapidly, it has learned from millions of real faces and become much smarter. Besides, there are better ways to make the pictures clear and beautiful. Now AI-generated faces look so perfect that people can hardly tell them from real ones. This has become a growing challenge in our world.
Telling real faces from AI ones is becoming harder every day. “For years, we believed photos showed real people and real situations,” said researcher James Dunn. But now when we look at pictures online, we may no longer trust “ ▲ ”. We should be more careful with fake (假的) AI images on social media and other websites.
The team plans to study the top performers in the tests and find out the secrets behind their ability to identify AI-generated faces. In the future, they hope to create simple and useful tools to help people tell real faces from AI-generated ones more easily.

（2026·浙江湖州·一模）A study in the AHA (美国心脏协会) Journal Circulation shows that eating five servings (份) of fruit and vegetables a day may lower the risk of death by 13%.
Researchers studied data from over 100,000 men and women. The study started in the mid-1980s and ended in 2014. The testers were asked about their diet at the beginning of the study, and again every two to four years. By the end of the study, 33,898 testers had died. The study found that people who ate two servings of fruit and three servings of vegetables daily had the lowest chance of death. However, eating more than five total servings a day did not make the risk lower.
Compared with those who ate only two servings a day, people who ate five servings were:
10% less likely to die from cancer
12% less likely to die from heart disease
35% less likely to die from lung disease
13% less likely to die from all causes
To make the result more believable, the researchers combined their data with 24 other studies. In total, they looked at 1.9 million people from 29 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, North America and South America. They got the same result: five servings a day led to a 13% lower risk of death from any cause.
But lead author Dr. Dong Wang said not all fruits and vegetables are the same. Some may cause health problems. For example, starchy (淀粉类) vegetables like corn and potatoes didn’t help lower the death risk. Fruit juices were also not helpful.
Stick to five servings a day, and keep your plate colorful. Small changes in your food choices can lead to big health benefits over time.
1．How does the writer introduce the study
A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By asking questions. D．By describing feelings.
2．According to the study, who possibly has the lowest risk of death
A．People who drink fruit juice or eat fruit very often.
B．People who focus on diet to lose weight every day.
C．People who eat two fruits and three vegetables a day.
D．People who change their diets every two to four years.
3．Why does the writer mention corn and potatoes in Paragraph 6
A．To explain they are unhealthy foods. B．To tell us they are starchy vegetables.
C．To suggest we should eat more of them. D．To show vegetables have different effects.
4．What is the best title for the passage
A．Fruit Juice: A Healthy Daily Drink B．Sports & Diet: Good for Our Health
C．Daily Choice: Keep Your Plate Colorful D．Fruit & Vegetables: The More, the Better
