一、阅读六选五：本大题共5小题，共10分。
You may notice that horses appear in many Chinese idioms. These horse-related sayings reflect Chinese culture and ancient life.
“A horse that covers a thousand miles” is perhaps the most famous horse idiom. (1) Chinese parents often use this phrase to encourage their children, hoping they’ll become “thousand-mile horses” who achieve great things. The idiom comes from ancient times when people believed that great horses could run 1,000 miles in a single day.
“A swift horse needs a good rider” adds another meaning to this idea. Although talented people (“swift horses”) might be common, good leaders who can recognize talent (“good riders”) are uncommon. This saying reminds us that having talent isn’t enough. (2)
“Ride a horse while looking for a better one” describes someone who is satisfied with their present situation, but always open to something better. Chinese people use this idiom to describe practical and ambitious (有雄心的) people. (3)
“An old horse knows the way” celebrates the wisdom that comes with experience. Just as an old horse remembers the safest paths through mountains, experienced people can guide others through difficult situations. (4)
(5) They carry rich culture, valuable life lessons and wisdom. They also encourage us to be talented, thankful and keep making progress.
A．These people never stop improving themselves.
B．It describes people with amazing talent or potential.
C．All in all, these horse idioms are not just simple sayings.
D．You need someone who supports you and gives you opportunities.
E．This traditional saying tells us we should always stick to our first choice.
F．This idiom shows that Chinese respect the elders and their plenty of knowledge.

The Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics ended on February 22. It was Team China’s best performance at an overseas Winter Games, with 15 medals in total — five gold, four silver and six bronze. Many young Chinese athletes showed great courage and talent.
Ning Zhongyan, a 26-year-old speed skater, made history. He won China’s first Olympic gold in the men’s 1,500-meter race and became the first Asian champion of this event. Ning failed to win any medal in 2022, but he kept training hard abroad. He said he finally climbed over an “impossible mountain”. His hard work paid off.
Su Yiming performed wonderfully too. On his 22nd birthday, he won China’s first gold medal at the 2026 Games in men’s slope-style. He said everyone starts from zero on the Olympic stage, and he is still improving.
Gu Ailing, a top freestyle skier, won three medals — one gold and two silvers. She is now the most successful freestyle skier in Olympic history. Gu’s success did not come easily. She had a very busy training schedule. She trained for three hours every night and sometimes had no time to eat dinner. She called her decision to compete in all three events “a big gamble (赌博)”. “Even if everything crashes and burns, I tried. I will never regret trying,” she said.
Team China’s great results came from hard work and determination. The athletes are not only winners but also role models. They inspire young people to work hard and chase their dreams.

Summer passes, then autumn comes. After that winter arrives. Rat and Mole are at home all day. Mole is bored. He says, “I want to visit Badger.” But Rat tells him, “Badger lives in the middle of the Wild Wood. It’s a long way to go in winter.”
But Mole still wants to go. When Rat is asleep, he puts on his coat and goes into the Wild Wood. It is cold and the sky is grey. At first it is fun. But then it gets dark. Mole sees strange little faces in the wood. The faces have sharp teeth. Then he remembers the animals in the Wild Wood, the stoats and weasels: they are dangerous. He hears strange noises and he panics. Poor Mole runs and runs through the wood. Then he sees a hole inside a tree and he hides there.
When Rat wakes up at home, he calls, “Mole, Mole!” But Mole doesn’t answer. Rat looks around the house for Mole. But Mole isn’t there. And Mole’s coat isn’t there. Rat thinks, “Mole is visiting Badger. Oh, no! Mole is in the Wild Wood!” He puts on his coat and puts a gun in his pocket. He goes along the path to the Wild Wood. He sees the strange little faces with sharp teeth. But they see Rat’s gun, and go away. Rat calls and calls, “Mole, where are you It’s me—Rat.”
At last Mole answers. “Rat, I’m here! In the tree! I am very frightened!” he says in a little voice.
“Don’t worry, Mole,” says Rat. “Let’s go home now!”
But Mole is very tired. He wants to sleep, so Rat sits and waits. While Mole is sleeping, it begins to snow. The snow is white and it covers all the paths.
Later, Mole wakes up. Then the two friends set off through the white woods. Everything is different with the snow and soon Rat and Mole are lost. They walk for hours but they cannot find the way home. They are tired, and cold, and hungry.
— Adapted from The Wind in the Willows

What will the world of tomorrow be like Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost.
It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.
42.Why is the robot suit not widely used now according to the passage
A. It is too expensive.
B. It is difficult to make.
C. It is too heavy to wear.
D. It can only help people walk again.
43.What does the writer of this article think of the future world with new technology
A. It will be perfect with no problems at all.
B. It will only rely on flying cars, 3D printing and robot suits.
C. It will be bad because technology creates too many new problems.
D. It will be better if we solve the existing problems of new technology.
44.Why does the writer of this article give three examples of new technologies
A. To explain how to use new technologies.
B. To show that technology is always perfect.
C. To tell readers which technology is the best.
D. To prove that new technologies also have two sides.
45.What is the organizational structure of this article
A. Space order. B. General-Specific.
C. General-Specific-General. D. Cause and effect.
五、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。
46.阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。
Every winter, I feel a rush of emotions and memories flood back as I look at the old scarf my mother used to wear. It was a simple wool scarf, but to me, it held a world of meaning.
My mother was a hard-working woman. She would get up early to prepare breakfast for the family, then rush off to her job at the local factory. She was tired when she came back home at night, but she still smiled and listened to our stories. On cold mornings, she would wrap the scarf around her neck, as if it were a shield (防护物) against the hardships in life.
One Christmas, I decided to save up my pocket money to buy her a new scarf. I spent hours in the store, carefully choosing one that I thought would bring out the warmth in her smile. When I finally presented it to her, her eyes lit up like stars. She immediately put it on and proudly showed it off to my father, as if it were the most precious gift she had ever received. But even though she had the new scarf, she still kept the old one, saying that it held too many memories to let go.
The old scarf is of great value to me because it reminds me of my mother. Whenever I see it, I think of the countless times my mother comforted me with a hug when I was sad, or cheered me up when I was facing difficulty. She was my continuous support, my rock in the stormy sea of life. Friends would come and go, but my mother was always there, ready to offer a kind word or a shoulder to cry on.
Now, I am a father with two kids. Whenever the winter winds blow, I take out that old scarf and hold it close to my heart. It reminds me of my mother’s unconditional love. And I realize that the best gifts in life are not the ones that are bought with money, but the ones that are wrapped in love and memories.
(1) What was the old scarf made of _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(2) What did the mother do with the old scarf _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(3) Why is the old scarf valuable to the writer _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(4) Are the best gifts in life bought with money or wrapped in love and memories _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(5) What does the writer mean by “My mother was my rock in the stormy sea of life” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

49.When people (1) (one) see the flower headdresses in Quanzhou, they may only think of one word: beautiful. In the old streets and narrow lanes of Xunpu, bright flowers are in women’s and (2) (girl) hair. They make everyday life lively. But if we only see this tradition (3) decoration, we will miss its deeper meaning. These flowers not only make people look prettier but also carry (4) (memory), feelings and a special way to see the world.
The custom of (5) (wear) flowers in hair has a long history in China. We can see it in classical art, like Tang Dynasty paintings where women decorate (6) (they) with flowers. What makes Quanzhou special is that this tradition is not only in paintings or for rich people. In Xunpu, a fishing village near Quanzhou, it is common among ordinary women whose lives are connected to the sea. Flowers are not just symbols of elegance. They become part of (7) (day) life.
For Xunpu women, flowers are (8) (close) tied to wishes for happiness and good luck. Elders put flower headdresses on young girls before they go out. Flowers also appear (9) festivals, weddings and other important moments. The headdress turns an invisible wish into something visible (看得见的): life can still be full of joy.
Xunpu women live hard lives and are famous for their hard work. They fish, farm oysters, collect seafood and support their families. They choose flowers not because life is easy, (10) because life is hard. Beauty is not an escape from real life but a way to face it bravely.

Hi, everyone!
Online learning is becoming important for us. It offers rich learning resources and convenient channels. In my opinion, it is a helpful tool if used correctly.
Firstly, it is convenient and efficient. We can study at home without going to training classes. This saves much time and money. For instance, I watch English videos to improve listening. Secondly, we can find answers to difficult questions quickly.
However, we must use online resources wisely. We should set clear learning goals before starting. Also, controlling screen time is necessary to protect our eyes. Let's make good use of technology to study better together.
Thanks for listening.
