Yesterday afternoon, something unusual happened at Green Park. Around 4 p. m. , dark clouds filled the sky and heavy rain began to fall. People who were enjoying their time in the park quickly ran to find shelter (n. 避难所；遮蔽处). But a young boy did not move. He remained sitting alone at a stone chess table, completely lost in thought.
For the next four hours, the rain continued without stopping. The boy stayed in the same place. getting wetter and wetter. His clothes were soaked, but he seemed not to notice. Many people walked by and saw him. Some stopped and watched from a distance, wondering what was wrong.
Mrs. Chen, a local woman who often takes walks in the park, became worried. “I first saw him when the rain started, ” she said. “Two hours later, when I passed by again, he was still there. I went over and asked if he needed an umbrella or some help. He didn’t answer. He just kept watching the empty chessboard in front of him. ” Another visitor was so worried that he wanted to call the police, thinking the boy might be lost or afraid.
Later, a man arrived at the park. He explained that he was Mr. Lee, the boy’s father. “We played chess here this morning, ” Mr. Lee said. “My son lost the game because of one careless move. He was very close to winning. He wasn’t angry, but he needed time to think about what went wrong. When it comes to chess, he becomes so focused that he forgets everything else—even a heavy storm. ”
Finally, around 8 o’clock in the evening, the rain stopped. Mr. Lee helped his son stand up, and together they walked slowly out of the park.

Horses are special in Chinese culture. They stand for speed, success, and loyalty. In old times, horses were very important for travel, farming, and protecting the country. Even today, they still encourage us through language, art, and celebrations.
There are many wise horse sayings in Chinese. For example, "An old horse knows the way" tells us experienced people can guide us well. "A thousand - mile horse" means a very talented person. Another famous saying is"A long road tests a horse's strength，and time shows a person's heart. "This teaches us that true character needs time to be seen. In races or games, a "dark horse" is someone who wins surprisingly.
Horses also star in art and festivals. On November 25, 2025, "Lucky Horse", the mascot（吉祥物） for the 2026 "Happy Chinese New Year" global celebrations， was introduced. The idea comes from two famous horses in old China. The first is a bronze statue called "Horse Stepping on a Flying Swallow（燕）". It shows a horse running very fast. The second is the "Five - Flower Horse" from the Tang Dynasty. It is famous for its long, flowing mane（鬃毛）. This design mixes these two ideas. It has the running speed of the first horse and the beautiful long hair of the second horse.
In the Chinese zodiac（生肖），people born in the Year of the Horse are said to be energetic and kind. During this year, families stick red horse paper cuttings on doors and say blessings like "Ride a fast horse to chase your dreams!"
In a word, from ancient stories to modern life, the horse encourages us to work hard, stay true, and move forward bravely. Let's learn from the horse—run toward our dreams with a strong heart, and keep going even when the road is long.
56. The Chinese saying "A long road tests a horse's strength, and time shows a person's heart" is similar to “______”

Nowadays, we have many different kinds of technologies to protect us from different disasters. We can even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, the flood and the earthquake, happen. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters.
The drone(无人机) is one of them. It can be used to send things like food and water when a
natural disaster happens. It’s often too dangerous for the rescue teams to get into the buildings. So they make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive. The drone is also a useful tool for firefighters to find and fight wildfires. In some faraway places in the world, drones are the fastest way to send medicine to people who are in great need of it.
Social media platforms(平台) are also useful when it comes to natural disasters. With their help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters, so others can know their situations.
Social media platforms are also places for up-to-date news, so people can learn what is going on in disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate (捐赠) money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, live streaming (直播) helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.
Although these technologies can help us a lot when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves.
61. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Drones.
B. The rescue teams.
C. The people in disaster areas.
D. The social media platforms.
62. The drone can help do the following things EXCEPT ______.
A. send food and water to people when a natural disaster happens
B. fly into dangerous buildings to search for people still alive
C. help firefighters find and fight against wildfires
D. take injured people quickly to safe places during disasters
63. Why does the writer mention live streaming
A. To show social media platforms can provide up-to-date news.
B. To show people can know about coming disasters through social media platforms.
C. To show social media platforms can help raise money after a disaster.
D. To show people can tell others they are safe through social media platforms.
64. What is the correct structure of the passage (①=Paragraph 1)
65. What does this passage mainly talk about
A. It tells us what to do when disasters come.
B. It advises us to use social media platforms more often.
C. It tells us how some technologies help people in disasters.
D. It suggests that we should learn self-protection skills during disasters.
第二节 七选五（E篇）（每小题1分，满分5分）
Like cool swims and lazy vacations, fireflies are a sign of summer. __66__ But how much do you really know about these little creatures
Fireflies use their light to "talk"—not only to find mates, but also to protect their homes and drive away things that might hurt them. What's special is that their light doesn't make any heat. This "light" comes from two chemicals (化学物质) in their bodies—luciferin (荧光素) and luciferase(荧光素酶). When mixed with ATP (found in all living things) and O , they create the light. __67__ Sadly, human activities are putting them in danger.
One big problem is the loss of homes. __68__ Another problem is light pollution. The light from homes, cars and street lamps makes it harder for fireflies to send signals (发信号) to each other during mating. This means fewer baby fireflies will be born next season.
__69__ First, turn off outdoor lights so that fireflies can send signals to each other freely. Also, leaving fallen trees, dead leaves, and natural waste in yards gives a good place for baby fireflies to grow. Since most fireflies live near still water, creating small ponds can bring them in. Most importantly, stop using too many pesticides (农药) which are bad for fireflies.
Making these simple changes isn’t just about helping fireflies—it’s about keeping the magic of summer alive. __70__.
A. As cities and farms develop, many forests and fields where fireflies live are disappearing.
B. Fireflies truly are nature's tiny lanterns.
C. Some of us have sweet memories of catching them on hot summer evenings.
D. Here are some easy ways to help fireflies.
E. Let's work together to protect the beautiful glow for kids in the future.

How to Be a Good Learner
Hello, everyone! I’m Li Hua. I’d like to share how to be a good learner.
First, we should have good learning methods. We need to preview lessons before class and listen to teachers carefully in class. It’s also important to review in time and ask for help when we have problems.
Second, healthy living habits are necessary. We should do exercise every day to keep strong. Besides, we should sleep early and never stay up late.
If we keep doing these, we will make great progress.
