三、阅读理解
根据短文内容，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选择最佳答案。
A
I once believed that anything broken was essentially finished. In my world of instant replacements, a cracked screen or a torn coat was merely an excuse to buy something new. This “throwaway” mindset made me efficient, but it also left me restless, always chasing the next perfect object. Last summer, however, a rotting wooden stool inherited from my grandfather forced me to sit still and reconsider.
The stool was a mess: one leg was shorter than the rest, and the seat was covered in deep scratches. Initially, I intended to get rid of it, but a sense of guilt stopped me. I decided to join a local weekend workshop called “The Art of Repair.” I walked in with a simple goal: to make the stool look brand new again. I wanted to erase its history and hide its flaws.
The instructor, a soft-spoken woman named Clara, watched as I wildly sanded the wood, trying to remove every mark. After an hour of my desperate scrubbing, she placed a hand on my shoulder. “You’re fighting the wood,” she said gently. “The goal isn’t to pretend the damage never happened; it’s to make the object strong again while honoring its journey.”
I was perplexed. To me, a repair that showed was a failed repair. But as the afternoon wore on, I watched Clara work. She didn’t hide cracks; she filled them with colored resin, making them look like golden lines. I began to slow down. I stopped seeing the scratches as ugly scars and started seeing them as the story of my grandfather’s years in his workshop. I concentrated on the grain of the wood, feeling a strange sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years.
It took three weekends to finish that single stool. It doesn’t look new; in fact, the repairs are quite visible. But it is sturdy, and in its golden-lined cracks, I see a beauty that perfection could never offer. I realized that I wasn’t just fixing a piece of furniture; I was repairing my own relationship with time and imperfection.
Life, I now understand, is much like that stool. We all carry scratches and uneven legs from our journeys. Growth isn’t about erasing our past struggles to look “perfect” to the world; it’s about mending those breaks so we can stand firm again, carrying our history with pride.
36. What led to the author’s inner restlessness at first
A．Struggling to let go of inherited possessions.
B．Seeking perfect objects through constant replacement.
C．The stress of constantly replacing imperfect items.
D．Feeling growing guilt over getting rid of items.
37. What was the author’s primary expectation before the workshop
A．To acquire advanced skills of wood carving.
B．To protect emotional memories of his grandfather.
C．To remove every visible trace of damage.
D．To transform the stool into artwork decorated.
38. Clara’s way of fixing the stool shows that _________.
A．visible imperfections can carry special value
B．patient repair can bring emotional comfort
C．preserving history matters less than function
D．flawless perfection represents the ultimate goal
39. What does the word “perplexed” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Defensive. B．Puzzled. C．Relaxed. D．Satisfied.
40. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Family treasures connect different generations deeply.
B．Modern society pushes people to consume more.
C．Manual repair eases modern mental anxiety.
D．True growth means accepting our past imperfections.
B
In recent years, scientists and engineers have developed a group of materials known as “smart materials”. Unlike traditional materials, which usually stay unchanged under normal conditions, smart materials can actively react to temperature, light, pressure or electricity. They can change shape, color and other features, so they are widely used in modern life.
One typical example is shape-memory materials. After being bent or stretched, they can return to their original shape when heated. This property is widely used in medical devices. Doctors can put tiny medical tools into human bodies, and the tools expand under body temperature to finish operations safely.
Another type is color-changing materials. They change color with light or heat, used on mood rings and food temperature labels. Scientists are also testing smart windows that darken in strong sunlight to cut air-conditioner use and save energy.
Pressure-sensitive smart materials produce small electricity when squeezed. They are fixed under roads and bridges to watch traffic and building safety without human control.
However, smart materials still have drawbacks. Their production cost is high, and some cannot respond fast and accurately enough. Scientists are making efforts to improve their performance.
In the future, smart materials will be used in clothes, houses and many daily goods, greatly improving people’s life efficiency and comfort.
41. Why does the writer compare smart materials with traditional ones in Paragraph 1
A．To introduce differences in material usage.
B．To show the progress of material science.
C．To talk about the weaknesses of old materials.
D．To highlight the unique feature of smart materials.
42. How do shape-memory medical tools work inside human bodies
A．They expand after absorbing body heat.
B．They need continuous pressure during operations.
C．They shrink when reaching target organs.
D．They change shape before entering bodies.
43. How can color-changing materials save energy in buildings
A．They create power themselves.
B．They stop windows from being damaged by sunlight.
C．They reduce the need for air conditioning.
D．They keep indoor temperature all year round.
44. Examples of roads and bridges are used to prove pressure-sensitive materials ______.
A．can be used in large public construction
B．produce enough power for monitoring equipment
C．are more solid than traditional building materials
D．cut down the building cost of transport projects
45. What is the best title for the passage
A．Challenges of Smart Materials
B．Smart Materials and Our Future Life
C．Working Rules of Smart Materials
D．Why Traditional Materials Are Outdated
C
Nowadays we read more on screens than ever, yet reading quality drops sharply. Experts call this “skimming minds”, which harms our critical thinking and deep focus.
Digital reading is full of distractions such as pop-up messages and hyperlinks. People usually scan pages in an F-shaped track, only catching brief information instead of thinking deeply. This reading mode fits quick news but fails deep reading, which links new knowledge to personal experience.
Paper reading creates a stable environment without endless scrolling. Readers move at a slow pace and have time to reflect, question and form complex thoughts, which deepens understanding.
Losing deep reading ability brings hidden risks. Without patience for long texts, people easily accept simple emotional remarks instead of logical arguments. To keep our thinking ability, we need regular paper reading as mental training.
46. What problem does the first paragraph talk about
A．Reading quantity rises but reading depth falls.
B．Digital resources increase while school books decrease.
C．Critical thinking improves yet attention shortens.
D．Screen time grows while technical articles reduce.
47. The “F-shaped” reading track shows digital readers ______.
A．often change reading habits
B．prefer electronic screens to paper
C．only skim without deep thinking
D．collect facts through slow reading
48. What can we learn about paper reading from Paragraph 3
A．It offers steady reading experience.
B．It helps readers process complex ideas deeply.
C．It improves readers’ emotional feelings.
D．It reduces the need of constant judgement.
49. Why does the writer mention a 300-page novel in Paragraph 4
A．To show young people like short articles better.
B．To stress the value of literary works at school.
C．To state long articles require more reading practice.
D．To show people are losing deep reading capacity.
50. What is the main topic of the text
A．Different reading habits over time.
B．Methods to develop deep reading ability.
C．The importance of deep reading.
D．Differences between two reading styles.

六、书面表达范文
Dear Editor,
I am Li Jin, a student from Chenguang Middle School. I’d like to recommend Mr. Wang, our art teacher as the artist around us.
He is good at traditional Chinese painting. His representative works are landscape paintings of mountains and rivers. His paintings use soft ink lines and show peaceful natural beauty, full of Chinese charm.
I recommend him for two reasons. First, he teaches us painting patiently after class and lets us feel the beauty of traditional art. Second, he often holds small painting shows for students to display our works. He passes down traditional art to young people.
I believe he is a worthy artist to introduce.
Yours,
Li Jin
