二、阅读理解。
With rural revitalization (乡村振兴) and the fast development of economy (经济) and technology, many
Chinese villages have changed a lot. Xiajiang Village in Zhejiang Province is a good example. It has turned from a
quiet and poor place into a modern and lively one, especially in housing and travelling.
In the past, villagers in Xiajiang Village lived in old houses made of wood and mud (泥). The walls were
thin, so the houses were cold in winter and hot in summer. There were no clean toilets, and people had to carry
water from a river far away every day. Life was hard and inconvenient. Now, with government support and more
money from the growing economy, these old houses are gone. New houses stand in rows in Xiajiang Village, with
bright rooms and clean yards. They use clean energy for lighting and heating, which helps reduce pollution.Villagers in Xiajiang Village now live comfortably and safely.
Travelling in Xiajiang Village has improved greatly too. Years ago, the village only had narrow dirt roads.
When it rained, the roads became dirty. Villagers walked or rode bikes to the town, which took several hours.
Selling produce was difficult because of bad roads. Today, wide new roads connect Xiajiang Village to the city.
Buses run four times a day, and many families in the village have their own cars. More tourists come to visit
Xiajiang Village and local farmers can sell their fruit and vegetables to big cities quickly. New ways of travelling
bring more jobs and money to Xiajiang Village.

（2026·广西·中考真题）After living away from the coast for more than 25 years, I came back to my
hometown in Scotland. One of the things I enjoy most here is the sound of seagulls (海鸥).
I grew up in a village by the sea. Only 26 people lived here, but seagulls were everywhere. Their calls were
around us all the time. During my childhood, I often heard the seagulls call down the chimney (烟囱). I imagined
they were using the chimney as a phone to send messages to us.
My family even had a “pet” seagull. We named him Willy. The top of the wall of our garden was his
favourite place. From there, he had a good view of our dining room. As soon as we sat down for a meal, he usuallylanded by the window and waited patiently for food. Sometimes, when Willy was very hungry, he would knock at
the window to ask for food. Then, we would throw him bits of bread through the window. And he would skillfully
catch the bread in mid-air.
Once, when my mum was feeding Willy with a spoon, he took the spoon with food and swallowed (吞下) it
whole. We were worried that he would get hurt. To our surprise, when he appeared for his meal the next day, he
looked all right. And later we found the spoon in the garden! He was probably the only seagull in Scotland to return
cutlery (餐具).
I have a deep love for seagulls. When I wake up to their calls or see them flying in the sky, a feeling of
happiness washes over me. I know I’m home.
