五、阅读理解。(本大题共13小题，每小题2分，共26分)A
Tan Xiaofan, 27, from Dongguan, Guangdong Province, has had a love for heights since he was a kid. In
middle school, he developed a strong interest in Kungfu and parkour (跑酷).
After he failed to enter college, Tan took on a lot of jobs. He worked at a Kungfu school during the summer,
helped out at a sports center, and even became a coach in a swimming club. But his love for parkour never went
away. He kept training, taking part in competitions, and winning prizes. He also managed to combine (使融合)
Kungfu and parkour skills in lion dance performances. Now, he has become a famous sports vlogger with over 2.4
million followers on Douyin.
Tan’s family, however, didn’t support his parkour dream at first. They hoped he would follow a more
traditional way of education, like learning a trade or getting a good job. But he kept his dream.
In 2023, Tan filmed a video that combined parkour with the traditional Chinese art of “striking iron flowers
(打铁花)”. He added fireworks to his feet and performed parkour moves, creating a wonderful show of sparks (火
花). The video became very popular and received over 12 million likes. This experience made Tan want to mix
modern sports with traditional culture even more.
He created a lion dance performance that included parkour moves and explored other traditional arts like
Wing Chun and Tai Chi. He gave these traditional arts a new look with parkour style.
Now, Tan sees himself as a cultural ambassador (大使). He thinks that combining parkour with traditional
culture can make people happy and help spread culture. He feels honored to carry on traditional arts through
parkour. It’s not just a hobby for him, but a duty and an honor.
1．Why didn’t Tan’s family support his parkour dream at first?
A．Because they thought it was too dangerous.
B．Because they wanted him to follow a more traditional way of education.
C．Because they didn’t like sports.

Do you have a long list of hobbies that light you up but find it hard to balance them all? You’re not alone!The real challenge isn’t having too many hobbies, but rather how you manage them. In this passage, we’ll share
how to enjoy all your hobbies without burning yourself out.
●Focus on what you enjoy now.
It’s not easy to follow every hobby at the same time. The key is to focus on the hobbies that can bring you the
most joy and energy right now. For example, maybe this month you’re excited about photography, but next month,
you might want to try cooking. By changing hobbies based on what excites you, you’ll stay interested and avoid
burnout.
●Set a flexible schedule (灵活的时间表).
A flexible schedule helps you stay organized without adding pressure. You can create time blocks, such as
one evening for drawing and another for guitar practice. But remember to use your hobby schedule as a guide, not
a strict rule. If one hobby catches your attention more than the others, feel free to give it more time.
● ▲
Why not get creative and combine your hobbies when possible? Some activities naturally go well together,
allowing you to enjoy many interests. For example, if you love being outdoors and photography, take your camera
with you when you go out. By doing this, you can enjoy the best of both worlds while keeping things fresh and
exciting.
●Perfection is not necessary.
When you have many interests, it’s easy to feel pressure to be good at all of them. But here’s the thing:
hobbies are meant to be enjoyable, not stressful! You don’t need to be a professional artist, chef, or writer to
benefit from your hobbies. Focus on the learning process and let go of the need to be perfect. It’s okay to be "just
okay” at some things—what matters most is that they bring you joy.
4．Why is setting a flexible schedule suggested?
A．It provides people with more time to try new hobbies.
B．It helps people follow the schedule more easily.
C．It gives people more chances to make friends.
D．It allows people to enjoy hobbies more freely.
5．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A．Mix hobbies for more fun. B．Take up more hobbies.
C．Turn a hobby into an action. D．Plan your trip ahead of time.
6．What would the writer most probably agree with?
A．Focus on the hobbies that you spend the most time on.B．Remember to use your hobby schedule as a strict rule.
C．If you enjoy your hobby, try to be a professional person.
D．You can enjoy two hobbies at the same time.
C
Watching TV is my hobby. I like watching TV very much in my free time, because I think it has many
advantages (优点).
First of all, watching TV can make us relaxed. After a day’s hard work, we need a good rest. Watching TV
can make us not tired any more because of the wonderful music and TV plays.
Second, watching TV is entertaining (娱乐的). There are many kinds of entertainments, such as sports
activities, performances, plays and movies in the world. It’s not possible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the
activities within a short time. We need about seven hours or more to fly from New York to Paris. But within just
one second, the TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing the
channel (频道).
Most importantly, watching TV is educational. The children can learn different kinds of subjects through the
educational programs and it’s easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn
Russian from a Russian teacher in Moscow. We can even learn how to behave (表现) well from TV plays. At the
same time, a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge (巨大的) classroom.
7．Which of the following is true according to the third paragraph?
A．The TV can bring different parts of the world before us.
B．It’s easy for us to go to every place within a short time.
C．A fashion show is more interesting than an NBA game.
D．More and more people prefer to go to Paris rather than New York.
8．According to the writer, what is the most important reason for watching TV?
A．We can enjoy ourselves. B．We can have a good rest.
C．We can see things we like. D．We can learn something useful.
9．What does the underlined word “them” refer to (指的是)?
A．Subjects. B．Programs. C．Channels. D．Children.
10．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The advantages of watching TV B．The TV brings us good rest
C．Today’s TV programs D．How to use the TV in schoolsD
阅读下面短文，完成短文后的问题。
Recently, I started to use an app to keep a record of my running. Each run I wanted to go a little farther, run
a little faster and burn more calories (卡路里). Last night I finished an 8.3 km run in 46 minutes and burnt 468
calories. In comparison, my run two days ago was 8.6 km in 46 minutes with 483 calories burnt. This inner self-
comparison left me feeling disappointed. I became so focused on the numbers that I forgot to consider what I
achieved.
These tiny differences in numbers kept me away from the bigger picture: how did I actually feel after
completing my most recent run? Well, honestly, I was completely tired out. What good is running to beat your top
score if you don’t feel on top?
We should exercise for the purpose of building our confidence. And working out harder and faster may
serve that purpose. But confidence building comes with being able to do more in our day-to-day life, experiencing
less pain and more freedom in movement, and feeling good after a workout. Fitness should help us with our
quality of life, the ability to sleep, and good memory, among other things. Fitness should not just come with the
eagerness for the success in numbers.
In our busy lives, we only have limited time for fitness. When we do physical exercise, we should value
what feels good over what looks or sounds good. Sometimes what serves us and our health is coming home and
doing a light workout, like going on a short bike ride. Sometimes what serves us is simply going to sleep at 9:30
p.m. Instead of forcing ourselves into a workout. Apps of this kind are a great way for us to keep an eye on our
health. But don’t read into the numbers to the point where you lose out on feeling proud that you are taking care of
yourself. So my advice is: when you do physical exercise, make sure you feel good about yourself over feeling
good about the numbers.
11．What happened when he became too focused on the numbers?
12．According to the writer, what should be our purpose of doing exercise?
13．Why are apps of this kind a great way for us?

Chinese calligraphy is known as “shufa”. It’s one of China’s most treasured traditions. For thousands ofyears, people have used brushes, ink, and paper 1 (create) art with words. It’s more than just writing
—it’s a way 2 (express) feelings and wisdom as well.
When I first tried calligraphy, my teacher told me, “Every stroke has a soul(灵魂).” I dipped the brush into
thick black ink and 3 (careful) drew a horizontal (水平的) line. My hand shook, and the line looked
messy. But my teacher said 4 a smile, “Patience is key. Let your heart guide the brush.” Over time, I
learned that calligraphy teaches more than art—it also teaches focus and calmness.
In ancient times, scholars spent years learning calligraphy well. They believed beautiful writing reflected
(反映) 5 beautiful mind. Even today, many Chinese families hang calligraphy works at their home,
often with 6 (mean) sayings like “平安” (peace) or “福” (good fortune). These words carry
people’s hopes and wishes.
Calligraphy is also part of festivals. During the Spring Festival, people write red couplets (春联) to
decorate doors. The bold, flowing characters welcome luck and 7 (happy) for the new year.
8 (learn) calligraphy helped me understand Chinese culture more deeply. Like a bridge,
calligraphy connects the past and present. Every time I write, I feel 9 (close) to the wisdom of ancient
poets and philosophers (哲学家) than before. 10 the Chinese saying goes, “Your handwriting mirrors
your character.” Through calligraphy, I’m not just creating art—I’m growing patience and respect for tradition.
