（2025·江苏淮安·二模）根据短文内容，回答问题(每题答案不超过8个单词)。
A lot of excellent straw-made miniatures (草做的微缩模型) of classic ancient buildings make Xu Jian’s home more beautiful. They range (涉及) from the Yellow Crane Tower in Hubei Province to the Palace Museum’s turrets (角楼) in Beijing. They are all crafted (精心制作), tied and arranged (排列) carefully by Xu’s skillful hands.
“All the doors, windows and everything else are made of sorghum stalks (高粱秆),” Xu points to the Yellow Crane Tower that is 1 meter high at his base (基地) in Yongqing County, Langfang City, Hebei Province.
This special piece was made out of hundreds of thousands of sorghum stalks and took him two years to complete without the use of any nails (钉子) or glue. “It completely depends on interlocking, tenon-and-mortise structures (榫卯结构),” the man in his thirties explains. The sorghum straw art requires lots of patience, especially for works showing images (想象) of ancient buildings. They usually take several months or even one to two years to complete.
Moreover, all the beams (横梁) and columns (柱子) are straightened after being heated over a lamp. It’s the only way that every door and window can open and close properly. The sorghum straw art follows strict standards from material selection (选择) to production.
Xu has grown sorghum in his farmland, and chooses those of the highest quality to create straw works. The sorghum stalks range from the finest at 1.8 millimeters to the thickest at 12 millimeters. Almost every piece includes hundreds of crafting steps. Xu doesn’t waste the leftover (剩下的) stalks, either, as he turns them into windmills (风车).
“In the eyes of many people, sorghum straw is only agricultural waste, but through the creativity of craftsmen (工匠), it can be turned into beautiful works of art and even a treasure,” Xu says.
1．What does the writer think of Xu Jian’s Yellow Crane Tower and Palace Museum’s turrets
2．How long did Xu Jian spend making the 1-meter-high Yellow Crane Tower
3．How does Xu Jian make beams and columns straight
4．To follow strict standards, is it enough for Xu Jian only to grow sorghum in his farmland
5．How do you feel about the craftsmen like Xu Jian

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes.
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters shot antelopes to make profits. Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
6．Where do Tibetan antelopes live
7．How did Zhaxi and other volunteers keep Tibetan antelopes safe from attacks
8．When was the Tibetan antelope removed from the endangered species list
9．Why did the population of Tibetan antelopes drop in the 1980s and 1990s
10．What can we do to protect endangered wildlife like Tibetan antelopes (请自拟一句话作答)
（2025·江苏常州·二模）What does reading mean to you For Xu Nuoxing and Cui Buyuan, both 16, from Jiangsu, reading is a kind of therapy that could help people build resilience (韧性).
To encourage teenagers to enjoy reading, two high school students created a project called Remor—Read more, emotion more. This project won the Best Team Award at the 2025 GenZEC．
Entrepreneurship Competition (Spring Round) National Venture Capital Summit in March. It also offers services like tailored (定制的) book lists, online reading clubs, and pop-up bookstore.
The two got the inspiration (灵感) from their personal experiences. “When I was in Grade 9, I felt extremely anxious because of the pressure at school and confusion about the future,” said Xu. “It was the stories in books that taught me that it was more important to enjoy the process rather than to be worried about the results.”
Between October 2024 and March this year, Xu and Cui did a lot of research. They sent out surveys to understand teenagers’ reading habits and analyzed (分析) papers on how reading improves mental health. They also spoke to professionals in business, software development, reading, and psychological counseling (心理咨询).
Among all their project’s services, the tailored book lists stand out because they include psychological counseling. Teenagers can buy this service through a WeChat Inini program, pick their preferred book genres types, and have AI recommend books to them.
What’s more, teenagers can communicate with online psychologists (心理学家) to share their problems. The psychologists offer online counseling and then recommend book lists with inspiring and interesting stories.
“It is important to take advantage of the chance to turn ideas into reality. I hope our project can help more teenagers and spread the charm of reading,” said Xu.
前三题题的答案不超过10个词，最后一题的答案词数不限。
11．Why did the two students create the project Remor
12．Compared with being worried about the results, what is more important in Xu’s opinion

Life is like water
There was a man who couldn’t achieve his ambition. So he was recommended to visit a sage (圣人).
The sage silently scooped up the water and asked, “What is the shape of the water ” The sage poured the water into a glass before the man could answer. The man answered, “I know water is like a glass.” The sage said nothing and poured the water into the vase nearby. The man realized it, “I know water is like a vase.” The sage shook his head, gently carried the vase in both hands and poured the water into a pot filled with sand. The clear water disappeared into the sand.
The sage said, “Look, the water died away like this. This is a lifetime!”
The man said happily, “I know you want to tell me that the society is like various containers. So people should be like water. When you are in a certain container, you will become its shape and nothing can change!”
“Yes and no,” the sage said. The sage went out of the house, followed by the man. Under the eaves (屋檐), the sage bent over, touched the flagstone steps for a while and stopped. The man reached out his hand to where the sage had just touched and felt a concave (凹面), but he didn’t know what secret the concave in the flagstone steps hid.
The sage said, “On rainy days, the rainwater would fall from the eaves, so the concave is the result the water falls.”
The man got inspired (启发) suddenly. He said, “I understand people may be put into the regular containers, but they should be like the little drop of water, holing the hard flagstones until changing the containers.”
The sage said, “Right. This concave will turn into a hole!”
Life is like water, so we must adapt (适应) to the environment and we should try to change the environment to realize our own value.
15．How did the sage inspire the man
16．What can you learn from the passage
17．What do you think of the sage Why

The Horsetail Fall is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing scenery. Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the right angle to light the upper reaches of the fall. When conditions are right, the Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava pouring down from the top of the El Capitan, so it got the name “firefall”.
The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to make a firefall. There should also be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water in warm afternoon.
The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. The best time to watch the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect to set up cameras and tents.
Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. The spectacle may appear just minutes before sunset, so people have to come hours earlier to get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite firefall is something you don't want to miss during the winter,” said Kate Moore, a traveller and lead content creator for a travel website.

On weekends, I like to go to yard sales with forty dollars. I always expect to find something I can sell on eBay, an online marketplace where people buy and sell things, and make a good profit (利润).
One day, at a yard sale, I saw a violin for just twenty dollars. I bought it right away without knowing its real value. I called my husband Rick to do a quick search on eBay to find out how much such an instrument would cost.
However, Rick said there weren’t any violins like that listed. It was strange because I thought selling violins online was quite common. After I hung up, I began to worry: Maybe no one would buy the violin at all.
On my way home, an elderly man asked if I could sell him the violin for fifty dollars. I agreed and handed him the violin. I returned home happily. Then I sat at the computer, went to the eBay home page, and typed in the kind of second-hand violin I had just sold. To my surprise, I found three violins just like mine selling for over 500 dollars each! I realized Rick hadn’t checked the eBay home page.
I sold the violin at such a low price! I felt awful and decided to buy it back, but Rick said the weather would soon get bad. Turning a deaf ear, I rushed out of our house. However, it suddenly began to rain heavily. I had to go home. I was sad, feeling I lost a great deal of money.
As time went on, I almost forgot it. One day, when I was walking on the street, an old man greeted me, “Good morning! Because of your generosity, my love of music has grown stronger. Now, I volunteer to teach kids to play the violin...” Then I realized he was my violin buyer. Hearing his words, I was proud of my decision that day. Sometimes, the real value is in helping others.

29．How much profit did the writer make from selling the violin to the old man

It is said that through just one act of kindness at a time, people have the ability to change the world. “The Kindness Test”, the world’s largest study on kindness, has now shown its nature and the role it plays in our lives.
What kindness means
Around 60,000 people from 144 different countries volunteered to take part in a study carried out by the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex and BBC Radio 4.
What does kindness mean “What you might call ‘common courtesy’, or ‘being polite’, even if it’s a tiny thing, like holding the door for someone, or smiling at someone, that is kindness,” said Robin Banerjee, head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex. “Those little moments add up.”
The benefits of kindness
It may not come as a surprise to learn that people who are often on the receiving end of acts of kindness enjoy higher levels of happiness. However, the study shows something else. Those who perform more acts of kindness or even see other people carrying out kind acts also have increased levels of happiness.
Communities play a key role, as all aspects of kindness have been shown to be more present. Being kind, receiving kindness and seeing kindness seem to be more common in places like the home, medical settings, the work place, green spaces and shops. On the other more anonymous spaces like the Internet, public transport and the street
32．What does “The Kindness Test” show
33．How many volunteers took part in the study
34．What do Robin Banerjee’s words mean
35．What influence does kindness have on those who perform more acts of kindness
36．What will become more common in communities
