2026年春七年级英语下学期期中复习专项训练

专题05 阅读理解（说明文）

Passage 1

2026年两会热点话题：春秋假

The 2026 Government Work Report clearly says that China will support qualified (符合条件的) areas to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students, while putting into practice the wrong-time paid leave system for workers． As a hot topic, the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience．

These short holidays bring many good points to students． They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind． With nice and comfortable weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities, including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning． In this way, book knowledge is turned into real-life experience．

The holidays also bring good points to families． Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons． Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, making family ties closer． At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society．

However, difficulties still exist in the policy’s carrying out (实施)． The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays． To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities offer more activities for students． The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations．

In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change． They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development． With joint efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way．

Passage 3

谈论友情

Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends． They believe that their family members, and in particular their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do． In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for advice．

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a circle of friends． Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone． This communication is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can discuss something difficult to say to their family members．

However, parents often try to choose their children’s friends for them． Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends． The questions of “choice” is an interesting one． Have you ever thought of the following questions?

Who choose your friends?

Do you choose you friends or your friends choose you? Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like? Your answers are welcome．

1． When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is _________．

Passage 4

Do you like to travel alone? Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends? If you’re still deciding, please read on． I will explain the advantages of both ways．

One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat． You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence．

Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had． Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow． When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world．

It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely． Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone． When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world．

In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy． There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong． One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom．

Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel． You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station．

There’s no right or wrong way to travel． Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you．

1． How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1?

A． By telling a story．               B． By giving examples．

C． By asking questions．               D． By describing a scene．

2． What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A． Traveling alone．     B． Inner strength．   C． Outside influence．  D． Traveling with others．

3． Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT ________．

A． sharing a lot of things          B． knowing yourself better

C． getting support easily           D． having a sense of safety

4． Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A． It’s not a good idea to make the rules about where you go and what you eat by yourself．

B． It’s not so easy to think that traveling alone is lonely．

C． You can only communicate with the locals and meet travelers from all corners of the world by traveling with friends．

D． It’s true that traveling with others makes your journey safer．

5． What’s the structure (结构) of the passage?

(①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2…)

Passage 5

人类与座头鲸之间的首次交流。

Scientists say they have had a “conversation” with a humpback whale (座头鲸)． The scientists are from the University of California, the Alaska Whale Foundation and the SETI Institute (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Institute （搜寻地球外文明研究所)． They teamed up and communicated with a humpback whale named Twain． They communicated in “humpback language” for 20 minutes． Their conversation took place after the scientists sent a “contact call” into the ocean off the coast of Alaska． Twain heard the call and responded (回应)． She swam to the research boat, circled it and chatted． The SETI Institute said it was the first ever communication between humans and a humpback whale．

The scientists said their conversation with Twain was not a deep one． Professor Brenda Mc Cowan said it was more like greetings． Whales use contact calls to let other whales know where they are． The scientists made the same call 36 times over a 20-minute period． Each time, Twain responded by calling back． She even matched the intervals (间隔) between each call that the researchers made, which greatly surprised the scientists．

Professor Brenda Mc Cowan told the Business Insider website that this research could make it easier to talk to aliens (外星人)． She said, “There are many kinds of intelligent beings on this planet． By studying them, we can better understand what aliens might be like．” Based on this research, scientists may identify calls from space and make first contact with aliens in the future．

1． Where did the “conversation” take place?

A． In the SETI Institute．                       B． In the Alaska Whale Foundation．

C． In the ocean off the coast of Alaska．  D． In the University of California．

2． Which of the following is TRUE about Twain?

A． Twain was in poor health．

B． Twain jumped out of the water 36 times．

C． Twain responded to the scientist’s call 20 times．

D． Twain was so smart that the scientists all felt surprised．

3． What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A． Scientists have received calls from space．

B． There are few intelligent beings on Earth．

C． This research may help humans contact aliens．

D． People can talk with other animals in the future．
