（2025·福建龙岩·一模）English-language editions of two entertaining and insightful novels, Cat Country and Mr Ma and Son, written by one of China’s most accomplished novelists, the late Lao She, will soon be on bookshelves around the country.
Cat Country, arguably China’s first venture into the field of science fiction, centers around a space traveler from China who crash-lands on an alien planet, where he discovers a country inhabited entirely by Cat People.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and literary critic Ian Johnson says in the book’s introduction, Lao She stretches himself further than ever, producing one of the most remarkable, complicated and insightful novels of modern China.
The sarcastic (讽刺的) humor and metaphorical writing are believed to be influenced by the late author’s early experiences in London. Lao She taught Chinese at the University of London’s School of Oriental Studies from 1924 to 1929, a time when the British still viewed China and the Chinese with strong mixture of distrust, dismissiveness, guilt and fear after two opium wars and the Boxer Rebellion(1900).
It was there that he began his career as a writer of patriotic but complex fictions about contemporary China, writes University of London’s senior Chinese literature lecturer Julia Lovell in the introduction of Mr Ma and Son, who calls it“the first Chinese novel to face directly British racism toward China”.
Based on Lao She’s London experiences, the novel displays the Mas’ attempts to deal with the deeply rooted cultural misconceptions by 1920s English society after they move there to run an antiques shop. As they go about building their new lives in London and striving to maintain a sense of cultural self, their own relationships are tested.
“We felt that these two books offer a fascinating insight into how he works and thinks, exploring China’s place in the world and China’s self-image through evocative (唤起感情的) and beautiful writing that is as relevant today as it was when it was first written in the 1930s,” says Jo Lusby, managing director of Penguin China.
1．What does Cat Country stand as in China’s science fiction
A．A peak. B．A turning point. C．A miracle. D．A pilot.
2．What did Lao She’s London experience contribute to
A．His writing style. B．His career as a teacher.
C．His sense of family unity. D．His prejudice to the British.
3．What message is mainly conveyed in Mr. Ma and Son according to the text
A．Business challenges. B．Cross-cultural conflicts.
C．Tight bonds in family. D．The backwardness of China.
4．In Jo Lusby’s eyes, the two books _______.
A．highlight China’s social conflicts B．establish Lao She’s status in literature

（2025·河北邯郸·三模）Early in the morning, the commander of SpaceX’s Polaris Dawn mission opened the top hatch (舱门) of a Crew Dragon capsule, and then slowly emerged into space — 460 miles above the surface of the Earth. The commander is not a professional astronaut on a government mission; he is a tech billionaire. The feat achieved by him and his crew marks the first-ever private spacewalk.
Polaris Dawn, the first of three flights in the Polaris private spaceflight program, aims to test SpaceX’s new spacesuits and promote research related to a future mission to Mars. Once the commander emerged from the hatch, he conducted a series of tests designed to evaluate the suit’s mobility, thermal (热的) systems and the Dragon mobility aid. After around ten minutes in space, he climbed back into the capsule to make room for SpaceX engineer Sarah Gillis. The hatch was open for just a half hour. In fact, the attempt was perhaps more of a stand-up extravehicular activity (SEVA) than a walk—the commander and Gillis held onto the railings attached to the hatch with a hand or a foot during the entire time. Their spacesuits wouldn’t have allowed for a spacewalk without being attached anyway.
Though only the commander and Gillis conducted a spacewalk, the entire crew, which included mission pilot Scott Poteet and medical officer Anna Menon, had to wear spacesuits during the EVA, as the Dragon spacecraft didn’t have an airlock. As a result, the entire capsule had to be depressurized and open to the vacuum (真空) of space during the spacewalk.
When the commander opened the hatch, it also marked the first time that the crew were in space at the same time. But the mission’s “firsts” don’t end there — at its peak distance of 870 miles from the Earth, the Dragon’s crew were the farthest from our planet that any human has been since NASA’s Apollo moon missions. So it’s significant that the Falcon 9 rocket that launched them into space earlier this week lifted off from the same launch pad as Apollo 11. As if that wasn’t enough, this mission marked the first time in space for Poteet, Gillis and Menon.
5．What is the target of Polaris Dawn
A．To test new spacesuits and advance research.
B．To conduct a spacewalk without attachments.
C．To undertake a governmental space exploration.
D．To compete with NASA’s Apollo missions and others.
6．Why did all the crew wear spacesuits during the spacewalk
A．To create a vacuum. B．To increase body pressure.
C．To deal with the absence of the airlock. D．To participate in the medical activities in space.
7．Which of the following was the achievement of the mission
A．It set several new records. B．It marked the farthest rocket launch.
C．It proved the smoothness of spacewalks. D．It determined subsequent space missions.
8．What is the text mainly about
A．The details of SpaceX’s new spacesuits. B．The history of private space explorations.
C．The challenges faced by the Dragon crew. D．The significance of the Polaris Dawn mission.
（2025·河北·模拟预测）In a cooperation between the popular YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, famously known as MrBeast, and the rapidly expanding electric bike company Lectric eBikes, a remarkable plan has unfolded, touching the lives of 600 individuals in need across America.

（2025·江苏南通·二模）Gyeongyun Lily Min spent the last seven months in a makeshift laboratory she set up in her parent’s garage, working hard to turn vibrations produced by sound waves in sports arenas into electrical energy.
The 17-year-old rising senior’s idea began to take shape when watching Disney’s Monsters, Inc. In the 2001 film, energy is generated from children’s screams. Without the cruelty, Gyeongyun thought, the concept could help meet the global demand for sustainable energy.
“I began to wonder if, in reality, with the help of piezoelectric effect (压电效应), we could use the abundant noise in environments like sports arenas to generate electricity.” explains Gyeongyun. Certain materials in the environment produce large amounts of mechanical energy as vibrations or shocks. This energy is largely wasted. However, with the piezoelectric effect, it is possible to change this energy into electric energy. Mixing her curiosity with her passion for science and innovation, the young student set out to explore a new way to meet global energy demands and reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.
Today, with over 60 percent of global electricity generated by fossil fuels, the world continues to be heavily dependent on non-renewable energy sources. According to a recent report by the World Nuclear Association, which promotes the global nuclear energy industry, over 40 percent of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions per year are due to the burning of fossil fuels for electricity generation.
With her eco-friendly technology, Gyeongyun secured a spot as a finalist in this year’s Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, the world’s largest global science competition for high school students.
According to Gyeongyun, a sports arena is the suitable location for her project because it represents a unique environment with lots of noise of the cheering crowds, announcements and music.
“Although this technology is not yet realistically applicable due to the current limitations in the sensitivity and efficiency of piezoelectric materials, by advancing the quality of piezoelectric devices, we can unlock a new way of sustainable energy production, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future.” she says.
13．Gyeongyun thought of turning noise into electricity because of _________.
A．the encounter in the garage B．her curiosity about science
C．the inspiration from a Disney film D．her concern about the global problem
14．What’s the function of Para. 4
A．To highlight the profits of Gyeongyun’s project.
B．To illustrate the necessity of Gyeongyun’s project.
C．To indicate the importance of using less fossil fuels.
D．To demonstrate the influence of a worsening problem.
15．What can we imply from the last paragraph
A．The development should be sped up.
B．The technology has been widely applied.
C．Gyeongyun has overcome technology barriers.

16．What is the best title for the passage
A．Traffic Noise to Fuel: a New Discovery
B．A New Type of Global Energy Demand
C．We Can’t Use the Noise in Our Surroundings
D．Stadium Noise to Electricity: a Greener Future
（2025·江苏·模拟预测）The path network across Wales has been underfunded for years and it is becoming less and less accessible. This comes at a time when more and more people are exploring the outdoors.
Ramblers Cymru, a walking group, is launching a campaign calling on the Welsh Government to support a green recovery by investing in paths and access nationally to boost health an access to nature.
Angela Charlton, Director of Ramblers Cymru said, “We believe that people should not only have the right to access the outdoors but also know where they can access it. Missing and broken signage and blockages on the paths are becoming too common barriers to the enjoyment of being outdoors.”
“The path network is part of our cultural heritage, connecting communities and providing us with the all-important health and well-being benefits we need,” Angela said.
Ramblers Cymru hoped that 10% of the active travel budget arranged for public rights of way improvements would go some way to help the local authorities tackle the problems on the network. Alongside this, they would like to see a monitoring system in which local authorities are funded to monitor the paths, so they have a clear idea of the condition they are in and where the most extra investment is needed.
“Having been declared a national asset (资产) by the Welsh Government, our network needs to be protected and kept tabs on properly, so that we can build a healthier nation where people are connected to nature close to their communities,” Angela said.
Angela also added, “We want to be part of the solution and are already working on projects that support volunteers and local councils to take ownership of local paths, but so much more needs to be done.” Following the campaign, they will be submitting the pledges (誓言) to the Welsh Government in the autumn.
17．What is Ramblers Cymru’s purpose in launching a campaign
A．To help people travel outdoors. B．To aid the government to invest.
C．To build a national path network. D．To call on people to donate money.
18．What does Angela Charlton probably expect the government to do
A．Turn to common people. B．Restore the signs on the paths.
C．Enjoy staying in nature. D．Set up more communities.
19．What is Ramblers Cymru’s suggestion about the monitoring system
A．The local authorities should fund it. B．The public should be responsible for it.
C．It should cost most of the active travel budget. D．It should be mainly used for checking on the paths.
20．What do the underlined words “kept tabs on” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A．Changed. B．Removed. C．Monitored. D．Listed.
（2025·浙江衢州·二模）As the proverb says, a straw shows which way the wind blows. A new study published by the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that the H5N1 bird flu virus is probably circulating undetected in domestic animals in many parts of the country and may be infecting unaware vets (兽医).
In the health agency’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, a group of researchers from the CDC, the Ohio Department of Health and the American Association of Bovine Practitioners reported the results of analysis they conducted on 150 cow vets from 46 states and Canada. They found that three of them had antibodies for the H5N1 bird flu virus in their blood. However, none of the infected vets recalled having any symptoms, including conjunctivitis, or pink eye, the most commonly reported symptom in human cases.
Seema Lakdawala, a microbiologist at Emory University in Atlanta, who was not involved in the research, said she was surprised that only 2% of the vets surveyed tested positive for the antibodies, considering another CDC study showed that 17% of dairy workers sampled had been infected. But she said she was even more surprised that none of them had known they were infected or that they had worked with infected animals.
“These surprising results indicate that serum surveillance (血清检测) studies are important to inform risk of infections that are going unnoticed,” she said. “Vets are on the front line of the outbreak, and increased biosafety practices like respiratory and eye protection should reduce their exposure risk.”
Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, described the study as “good and bad news study.” “On the one hand, we see concerning evidence that there may be more H5N1 outbreaks on farms than being reported,” she said, “On the other hand, I’m reassured that there isn’t evidence that infections among vets have been widespread.”
However, John Korslund, a U. S. Department of Agriculture scientist, said that finding H5N1 antibodies in the blood of vets was an “interesting but very imprecise way to measure state cattle incidence, so we need follow-up study.”
21．Why is the proverb in paragraph l mentioned
A．To describe a fact. B．To introduce the study.
C．To explain an issue. D．To present an opinion.
22．What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A．The findings of the analysis. B．The symptoms of the vets.
C．The causes of H5N1 bird flu. D．The basic logic of the study.
23．What surprised Seema Lakdawala the most
A．The infected vets’ unawareness of the issue.
B．The 17% infection rate among dairy workers.
C．The high number of positive test results in vets.
D．The risk of unrecognized infections in cows and vets.
24．What aspect should be improved in the follow-up study
A．The size of the tested group. B．The individual samples.
C．The data analysis procedure. D．The measuring method.
（2025·浙江衢州·二模）OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent (母公司).
OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder (股东) value. The non-profit parent would have “a significant interest” in the public benefit corporation, OpenAI said in a blog-post, adding that it would be one of the “best resourced non-profits in history.”
OpenAI has been looking to make changes to its rules to make it easier for investors to profit when they inject new investment into the firm. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a research-focused non-profit but created a for-profit unit four years later to secure funding for the high costs of AI development. Its unusual structure gave control of the for-profit unit to the non-profit.
A $6.6 billion fundraising by OpenAI, which valued it at $157 billion, was conditional on it being able to remove a profit limit and move towards being a more conventional company.
“We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity (股东权益) and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.”
“This is the critical step the company needs in order to continue fundraising,” said Gil Luria, analyst with DA Davidson & Co. The key to the announcement, he said, was that the for-profit side of OpenAI “will run and control OpenAI’s operations and business.” For its AI competitors, it’s a different matter. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI.
25．What is a public benefit corporation required to do
A．Operate its non-profit parent independently.
B．Focus only on maximizing shareholder value.
C．Reduce the amount of money raised from investors.
D．Combine the interests of society and shareholder value.
26．Why does OpenAI believe it needs to restructure its operations in paragraph 5
A．To attract more investors and simplify the structure.
B．To push forward its development goals on AI safety.
C．To settle conflicts with its non-profit parent organization.
D．To prevent competitors from taking control of its operations.
27．What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 6 mean
A．Design. B．Prevent. C．Back. D．Follow.
28．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．OpenAI to Keep Influencing Shareholders.
B．OpenAI to Defend ChatGPT from Criticism.
C．OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit.
D．OpenAI to Spend Funds on Artificial Intelligence.
（2025·安徽·三模）Chinese skeleton (钢架雪车) racer Zhao Dan made a significant advance on Saturday by winning China’s first-ever women’s gold medal in the discipline at the World Cup series in Yanqing. Zhao Dan, who previously trained as a triple jump (三级跳远) athlete before switching to skeleton racing, outperformed a strong field of Olympic medalists in the competition.
The National Sliding Center in northwest Beijing features one of the world’s most challenging tracks, covering 1.9 kilometers with difficult turns, steep slopes (陡坡), and a unique 360-degree circular section. Few players have managed to master this track since its first appearance at the 2022 Winter Olympics, making Zhao Dan’s achievement even more remarkable.
Zhao Dan completed her two runs in a combined time of two minutes and 4.27 seconds, defeating Olympic champion Hannah Neise of Germany by 0.37 seconds. Britain’s Freya Tarbit, who was tied with Zhao Dan after the first run, finished third with a total time of 2:04:68. The victory marked a significant improvement for Zhao Dan, who had finished second in her previous Yanqing Cup race.
In the men’s competition, China’s Yin Zheng secured third place with a time of 2:02:02, behind Britain’s Matt Weston and Germany’s Christopher Grotheer, who won gold. The Chinese men’s team showed impressive depth, with three more racers — Lin Qinwei, Zhu Haifeng, and Chen Wenhao — finishing in the top eight positions.
The event demonstrated China’s growing strength in skeleton racing, with both the men’s and women’s teams qualifying the maximum number of racers allowed per team. “Now, we have the medals and the strength in numbers. Gradually, I think we will achieve better results one race at a time,” said Zhao Dan, who at 21 years old represents the future of Chinese skeleton racing.

（2025·安徽蚌埠·二模）Ever the innovator to entertain its customers, this Masschetusettes cafe recently came up with a novel attraction for its customers. “Walk in and give us your BEST dance moves for 5 seconds,” reads a sign displayed on the entrance door. If you do so, you can get a cup of coffee for free.
The unexpected dance venue Coffee Milano, which serves the most delicious coffee, drinks, breakfast and lunch all day long, seven days a week.
The response to Coffee Milano’s promotion was electric, with multiple customers eager to show off their best dance moves. “It was fun, energetic and smiley,” says Joshua Rashid, the cafe owner of the small family-owned business. “Funny dances can really improve customers’ mood.”
It’s no secret that acting happy, moving and music can get you feeling better, even if it’s a bit unnatural at first. Brainly, a knowledge-sharing community, discusses the so-called “Facial feedback effect”. This is documented in studies showing that forcing a smile can still boost mood and happiness levels. This is likely because when people smile, their brains release something that helps to reduce stress.
On November 23, 2024, a video of the dancing customers became a hit online, amassing an astonishing 7.6 million views online since it was posted.
“We just thought it was going to be a small thing for the people that come in every day,” admits Oliver Svensen, social media director at Coffee Milano. She says the huge success of the campaign is due to the vicarious (间接感受到的) pleasure of seeing people feeling happy and expressing themselves, rather than the free drink alone.
“I am still processing this. I didn’t realize the power of the Internet,” says Rashid. “More customers are coming in and dancing.” He plans to make this joyful event a monthly fixture. “It was amazing and fun. The customers kept asking when the next one would be!” he says.

（2025·安徽·一模）A Dutch museum has recovered an artwork that looks like two empty beer cans after a staff member accidentally threw it in the rubbish bin.
The work, entitled All the Good Times We Spent Together by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears on first glance to be two abandoned and dented (瘪的) beer tins. However, a closer look shows they are carefully hand-painted and required a lot of time and effort to create. Their artistic value was lost on a mechanic, who saw them displayed in a lift and threw them in the bin. The curator (馆长) Elisah van den Bergh returned from a short break and noticed the cans had disappeared. She recovered them from a bin bag just as they were about to be thrown out.
Froukje Budding, of the LAM museum in Lisse, western Netherlands, said artworks were often left in unusual places—hence the display in a lift. “We try to surprise visitors for all the time,” she said. “We have now put the work in a more traditional place on a plinth (底座) so it can rest after its adventure.” She stressed there were no hard feelings towards the mechanic, who had just started at the museum, stating that he was simply performing his duties.
Sietske van Zanten, the museum’s director, emphasized the museum’s mission to encourage visitors to see everyday objects in a new light. “By displaying artworks in unexpected places, we enhance this experience and keep visitors on their toes,” he added.
Budding also noted the cans were unlikely to stay on their traditional plinth for long and that they needed to think hard about a careful place to put them next.
37．Why did the mechanic throw the artwork in the rubbish bin
A．Because it stood in the way. B．Because it took much space.
C．Because it looked like real trash. D．Because it looked strange in the lift.
38．What was Budding’s attitude toward the mechanic’s behavior
A．Understanding. B．Concerned.
C．Critical. D．Unforgiving.
39．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 4 mean
A．Make visitors ready for surprises. B．Remind visitors of dangers.
C．Warn visitors not to litter. D．Show visitors around the museum.
40．What might happen to the artwork in the future
A．It will be kept in a safe. B．It will be put in a selected place.
C．It will be sent back to the lift. D．It will be placed in a traditional setting.
（2025·江西宜春·二模）On Dec 4, 2024, Chunjie was included in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. While this recognition marks a significant milestone for Chinese culture, it also brings up again an ongoing debate: What is the most appropriate English translation of Chunjie
For decades, Chunjie has been widely translated as “Spring Festival” in English, a term now adopted by UNESCO in its lowercase form. Beyond this, two other English translations are currently in use: Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year. All the three terms are documented in major Chinese-English dictionaries,with “Spring Festival” being the most favored, followed by “Chinese New Year”. Despite its widespread use,some people believe that calling it “Lunar New Year” might not fully reflect its deep cultural roots in China, as the Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar (阴阳历), which combines elements of both the lunar and solar cycles. This means it’s not purely based on the lunar phases, making the term “Lunar New Year” scientifically inaccurate.
Language changes quickly, and dictionaries may not always be up-to-date. However, large language databases like the NOW (News on the Web) Corpus can track real-time language use. As of January 2025, the Corpus shows that “Chinese New Year” is the most frequently used term in the English-speaking world, followed by “Lunar New Year,” with “Spring Festival” being used less often.This reflects the differences in translation preferences between China and the West.
Now that the Spring Festival is recognized by UNESCO, it is time to reconsider its English translation. It is suggested that Chunjie be used as the primary term to emphasize its cultural uniqueness,supported by “Spring Festival” for familiarity and “Chinese New Year” when necessary for international understanding. This approach respects Chinese cultural identity while meeting the needs of global communication. After all, language is not just a tool for communication; it also carries culture,history, and identity.
41．What’s the reason for the inaccuracy of the form “Lunar New Year”
A．It’s not recognized by UNESCO.
B．It misses the festival’s historical importance.
C．It ignores the solar elements in the Chinese calendar.
D．It’s doesn’t reflect the festival’s connection to spring.
42．What does the NOW Corpus show according to paragraph 3
A．The term “Spring Festival” is the least used in English.
B．The term “Chunjie” is preferred only by Chinese speakers.
C．The term “Lunar New Year” is increasingly popular in English.
D．The term “Chinese New Year” is most widely used internationally.
43．Why is it suggested that “Chunjie” be used as the primary term for the festival in English
A．To simplify translation. B．To promote Chinese globally.
C．To highlight its unique culture. D．To update dictionary definitions.
44．What does the passage mainly focus on
A．The history of Chinese culture. B．The milestone of Chinese culture.
C．The cultural significance of Chunjie. D．The different translations of Chunjie.
（2025·江西·二模）Obesity and diabetes (糖尿病) have affected more young people, with many taking to social media platforms to share their symptoms of being diagnosed with diabetes at a young age.
Guo Xiaohui, a senior doctor at the endocrinology (内分泌学) department of Peking University First Hospital, told that 20 years ago, none of her diabetic patients were under 30, but nowadays, around 20 percent of them are under 30.
Yao Qiyuan, a senior doctor at Huashan Hospital of Fudan University’s department of obesity and hernia (疝气), said there are diabetes patients who are in middle school or even primary school in recent years, some of whom are obese and have high blood pressure.
It is common knowledge in medicine that obesity is one of the major causes of diabetes and cardiovascular (心血管) diseases. According to a 2020 report on Chinese people’s nutrition level and chronic diseases released by the National Health Commission, around 10 percent of children under the age of 6 are obese, which increased to almost 20 percent for children aged between 6 and 17.
Xie Zhuangli, a doctor at Tongji Hospital of Tongji University’s department of endocrinology and metabolism (代谢), said that when young people suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and high blood pressure, their chances of suffering complications (并发症) are significantly higher than those of older people. For example, for diabetes, it takes, on average, five to 10 years for patients to develop complications after they are diagnosed, so young people are more likely to have complications.
Experts said the reason for the increasing number of young people who have diabetes is that they eat food with lots of oil and sugar and have an unhealthy daily schedule. Some beverage brands have become so popular among young people that many of them seldom drink water, they said. More importantly, they lack knowledge about chronic diseases and often think that only older people suffer from such diseases, Xie said. Many young diabetic patients go to the hospital for treatment after they develop serious complications and it is often too late for effective intervention, she said.
Yao suggested that more efforts should be made to increase health education among teenagers, monitor children’s diets, and ensure that they have enough time for sports every day.
45．According to the passage, people’s suffering from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases mainly results from ______.
A．nutrition level B．obesity C．genetic factors D．air pollution
46．What is the main reason young people are developing diabetes at an increasing rate, according to the experts
A．They are more genetically easy to suffer diabetes.
B．They consume food high in oil and sugar and have unhealthy daily schedules.
C．They are more physically active than older generations.
D．They have better access to healthcare.
47．What do experts suggest as a way to fight against the rising trend of diabetes among young people
A．Increasing the availability of sugary beverages.
B．Reducing health education in schools.
C．Encouraging more screen time.
D．Monitoring children’s diets and ensuring they have enough time for sports.
48．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．The Rise of Obesity and Diabetes Among the Elderly.
B．The Impact of Social Media on Young People’s Health.

（2025·江西鹰潭·一模）Even if toys are designed in Europe or the U. S. they are frequently manufactured in China, a nation whose exports American president Trump last month threatened to target with a new 10% tariff (关税) as soon as he takes office. On the campaign trail, he put forward the idea of a tariff of up to 60% on all Chinese goods. Nearly 80% of U. S. toys are manufactured in China, according to The Toy Association.
“If Trump carries through with his tariff plan, toy prices would rise probably instantly,” Jennifer Bergman, the owner of New York City’s West Side Kids told CBS News. She estimates that about 90% of the toys she sells are made in China. After more than four decades serving the neighborhood, Bergman fears that higher prices may threaten her shop’s survival and impact her customers.
“It would be heartbreaking,” she said. “It would be a real loss for the community. It would be a real loss for me. I can’t really imagine not being here.”
If Trump follows through on his tariff plans, American consumers stand to lose as much as $78 billion in spending power annually on products, including apparel, toys, furniture, household appliances, footwear and travel goods, the National Retail Federation stated in findings released last month.
The toy industry is also sounding the alarm, with the Toy Association calling the potential tariffs “significantly harmful” and urging its members to contact their Congressional delegates to express their concern.
“While toys seem like products for which substitute sellers would be readily available, China maintains a dominant position in toy production for several reasons, including its not-easily-reproduced capacity to produce materials that meet US product safety standards,” they noted.
Still, some economists say Trump could use the threat of tariffs as a bargaining tool, without actually implementing the tariffs. And the tariffs could also encourage more U.S. manufacturing of toys and other products, although that would likely take time for new factories to develop.
49．According to the passage, what is the main concern the toy industry has about the proposed tariffs
A．Toy companies will have to move out of China.
B．Toy prices will rise, potentially hurting consumers.
C．The toy industry will face significant job losses.
D．Toy sales will decline on a large scale.
50．How does the owner of the toy store “West Side Kids” feel about the potential impact of the tariffs
A．She is confident her store will be able to weather the changes.
B．She is wondering if she can shift the focus of her goods.
C．She is concerned she may have to close her store.
D．She is planning to move her store to a different location.
51．According to the experts, why is it difficult for other countries to easily replace China as a supplier of toys to the U.S.
A．China has a large and skilled workforce.
B．China can produce toys at a lower cost.
C．China has the capacity to meet U.S. standards of security.
D．China has a dominant market share in the global toy industry.
52．What does the passage suggest about the potential impact. of tariffs on U.S. manufacturing
A．Tariffs could stimulate more U.S. manufacturing in a long term.
B．Tariffs would instantly cause an increase in U.S. toy manufacturing.
C．Tariffs would have no impact on U.S. manufacturing.
D．Tariffs would lead to a decline in U.S. manufacturing.
（2025·江西·一模）“My enthusiasm for this job is totally gone,” an Amazon worker recently wrote on Blind, an online forum where employees complain about their employers. All this happened after Andy Jassy, the tech giant’s boss, sent a letter that ordered staff back to the office five days a week instead of the previous three days.
Amazon isn’t alone to limit remote work. A recent global survey by KPMG, another professional-services firm, found that four-fifths of bosses expect a return to the office five days a week within three years. The change in some tech, financial and professional-services firms is more dramatic.
Ordering a return to the office tends to anger staff. A survey by Gartner, a research firm, found that a fifth of employees would leave their jobs if they were forced back to the office. For some companies, that may be the point. Getting some of them to leave voluntarily would reduce costs, though it also risks losing talented employees.
Many bosses believe having employees in the office leads to better performance. Plenty of studies suggest that remote employees are less productive. There’s less evidence, though, that letting staff work from home a couple of days a week has a negative effect on performance. A random trial at an online travel agency by Nick Bloom of Stanford University found no difference in performance between hybrid workers and those who worked entirely from the office.
Bosses may argue that complex tasks, such as designing a user interface, can require a lot of cooperation that may be difficult to perform virtually. Junior employees may also receive less coaching if they interact with others from home. Some bosses argue that this will harm their company’s culture, as new employees don’t absorb it and old ones forget it. Mr. Jassy wrote that Amazon’s culture has been one of the most critical parts of its success, and that it’s easier for our teammates to learn, practise, and strengthen it when working together in the office.
For now, investors seem to be withholding judgment. If Mr. Jassy is right, that may soon change.
53．What did the Amazon worker complain about on Blind
A．The increase in remote work hours. B．The shift in the company’s leadership.
C．The requirement of the five-day office work. D．The lack of opportunities for advancement.
54．What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A．Office work is always more productive. B．Hybrid work is the best for all companies.
C．Remote work leads to a lack of enthusiasm. D．The effect of work mode on productivity isn’t clear-cut.
55．What’s Jassy’s attitude towards ordering employees to return to the office
A．Supportive. B．Opposed. C．Reserved. D．Indifferent.
56．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Limit Work Days to Promote Productivity
B．Know Corporate Culture via Remote Work
C．Obey the Order and Stop Making Complaints

（2025·山东聊城·二模）Chronic Wasting Disease or CWD-mad cow disease in deer-never really went away but it is back big time — just in time for deer hunting season.
According to the Daily Mail, CWD is nicknamed “zombie (僵尸) deer diseas” because it “causes parts of the brain to slowly went ill, leaving infected animals to spit and stare blankly before they die.”
The new US CWD scare originated in captive (圈养的) deer where the government says CWD was first observed in 1967. People adopted that way of raising deer in order to gain canned hunting in “fenced” operations, “breeding stock” and their velvet (鹿茸) and antlers (鹿角) for sale.
Can people infect CWD Yes! In humans, CWD can cause the disorder of spirit called variant (变异) Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) which is deadly to humans like to animals. While non-variant CJD might occur occasionally, vCJD occurs in groups — where the meat has been “harvested” and eaten. In 2005, 200 to 250 people unwittingly (不知不觉地) ate CWD-infected deer in a New York state county. Now, New York authorities warn not to “consume animal that appears sick or diseased”, and warn that illegally imported bodies or parts of animals will be controlled and destroyed to prevent disease spread.
When the disease was active before, the Fort Collins Coloradoan reported that a local hunter said when his deer was found to be CWD-infected that he worried about his blood-soaked hands on his truck’s wheel and door handles and his blood-soaked clothes.
A 2002 outbreak of CWD in Wisconsin led to “free fire zones” in which all deer would be killed to wipe out the disease. Despite claims of deer “overpopulation”, Wisconsin had, at the time, 700 licensed deer farms. Deer hunting was a $400 million business in the state.
As recently as May, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department killed 250 captive whitetail deer to contain CWD though the disease is a often caused by captive operations.
57．What is the interesting name of CWD
A．Zombie deer disease. B．Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
C．Mad cow disease. D．Free fire zones disease.
58．Why are deer kept in capativity (圈养) according to the text
A．For scientific research. B．For watching.
C．For the sale of their velvet and antlers. D．For protecting them from CWD．
59．What can be inferred from the incident that people unwittingly ate CWD-infected deer
A．People didn’t like to see deer killed.
B．The New York authorities did not take timely action.
C．There is a risk of humans contracting CWD through infected meat.
D．The CWD outbreak in New York was caused by illegal imports.
60．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．How to Prevent Chronic Wasting Disease
B．Do You know Chronic Wasting Disease
C．Don’t Ate CWD-infected Deer Meat
D．Mad Cow Disease in Deer Is Back Again
（2025·河南许昌·二模）Federal regulators said Friday that railroads need to re-examine how they assemble their trains after a serious of derailments (脱轨) in recent years that were at least partly caused by the way empty and loaded cars were mixed together with locomotives (火车头). Heavy cars at the back of a train can push and pull against empty cars in the middle of a train as it goes over hills and around corners. Those forces have become more of a problem as the industry increasingly relies on longer trains with a wide variety of freight aboard.
Another factor complicating the issue is the industry’s practice of placing locomotives throughout trains. The locomotives can boost the forces if they’re not used correctly.
The fiery February derailment near East Palestine, Ohio, prompted much of the recent concern nationwide about railroad safety as an example of this problem. The National Transportation Safety Board has said that an overheated bearing that caused an axle (轮轴) to fail on one of the railcars likely caused that derailment.
“Railroads must prioritize proper train makeup to maintain safety, prevent accidents, and optimize train performance,” the railroad administration said in the advisory. “Further, all operating employees must be properly trained in these technologies and the handling of complex trains to ensure safe operation and minimize human error.”
All of the derailments the FRA mentioned involved trains with at least 125 cars. In every case an empty car was the first to come off the tracks. The order doesn’t specifically single out long trains, but the kind of forces regulators are concerned about are boosted in longer trains, especially if large blocks of empty cars are placed in the middle or front of a train. In three of the six derailments, hazardous chemicals were released, highlighting the potential dangers of these accidents.
Now trains routinely stretch longer than two or even three miles (three to five kilometers) long. As a train moves across uneven territory, its front half might be getting pulled up a hill while the back half is coming down and pushing forward against the rest of the cars. Those dynamics make it difficult for the engineer to manage.
61．What is the reason of derailments
A．The empty and loaded cars. B．The lack of examination of trains.
C．The industry relies on longer trains. D．The tension produced by carriages of different weights.
62．What does the underlined word “fiery” probably mean in paragraph 3
A．Doubtful. B．Violent. C．Strange. D．Latest.
63．How to reduce the issue of derailment according to the railroad administration
A．Technologies need further improvement.
B．Railroad companies should minimize human error.
C．Railroad companies are supposed to optimize train performance.
D．Both the railway department and staff need further improvement.
64．What makes it difficult for train engineers to manage long trains
A．The weight of the empty cars.
B．The increasing variety of freight.
C．The dynamics of the train as it moves over uneven terrain.
D．The strategic placement of locomotives complicates management.
