Tina is my sister. She used to be fat and others often laughed at her, so she became very shy. She was scared to say hello to strangers. She was afraid to ask simple questions and speak loud in front of others. It seemed that she felt afraid of everything in her life. She used to believe that she would be like this all her life.
But one day, her teacher encouraged Tina to change herself. He said, “If you can give it a try, you will have a chance to make a change. But if you never try, your life is only going to get worse.” Tina was deeply touched. She thought, “Why not have a try After all, I had nothing to lose.”
The first thing Tina did was to lose weight. She had a strict diet and did exercise every day. After 6 months, she lost 90 pounds. This taught her that she could change herself.
A few months later, Tina took part in a singing competition at her school. For the first time, she was able to sing aloud in front of many people. In the end, she got a big prize!

That’s all, more than anything in the world.” she said. “OK, Tina, I once dreamed to be a reporter. We’d better find out if you’ve got any talent then, and check with our Mum and Dad first to make sure they don’t mind their daughter taking singing classes.”
No problem there. Next evening, Dad was driving Tina to her first singing lesson. The teacher liked Tina very much. She said that Tina was talented and her voice was good. After that, _____________.

阅读下文并回答问题。
The Plains-wanderer is an endangered small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. Not just any grasslands. Plains-wanderers are picky. There can’t be too much grass or too little. For this reason, scientists sometimes call them the “Goldilocks” of animals.
Zoos Victoria says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” In fact, scientists have put the species into a “family” all by itself, since there are no other similar birds.
The little birds are only about six inches tall. They’re not good at flying, so they spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel themselves in danger, they crouch down to hide. Normally, they choose to run away rather than fly.
To protect these endangered birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to locate (定位) the birds. Since Plains-wanderers are hard to see, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead.
Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to locating them. The researchers set up 35 special recording tools called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time.
The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings—far more than humans could analyze (分析). So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system (系统) trained to identify (鉴别) the calls of Plains-wanderers.
The AI system discovered Plains-wanderer calls coming from two of the places. The scientists double-checked and found that the AI system was correct. ________
41．Do Plains-wanderers live in the grasslands in Africa
42．How tall are Plains-wanderers
43．How did the researchers locate the Plains-wanderers
44．Please fill in the blank to complete the last paragraph. (About 30 words)
【答案】41．No, they don’t. 42．They are (only) about six inches tall./(Only) about six inches tall. 43．They set up special recording tools in the grassy areas, recorded/collected the sounds in the areas, and used an AI system to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers./By setting up special recording tools in the grassy areas, recording/collecting the sounds in the areas, and using an AI system to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers. 44．The new AI system plays an important role in finding the small birds. In the future, they plan to use more tools like this to help protect the birds and the environment.
【导语】本文主要介绍了澳大利亚濒危鸟类Plains-wanderer的生活习性、保护现状以及科学家如何通过技术手段定位它们。
41．根据第一段“The Plains-wanderer is an endangered small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands.”可知，这种鸟生活在澳大利亚的草原，而不是非洲。故填No, they don’t.
42．根据第三段“The little birds are only about six inches tall.”可知，它的身高大约为六英寸。故填They are (only) about six inches tall./(Only) about six inches tall.
43．根据第五段“The researchers set up 35 special recording tools called ‘song meters’ in nine different grassy areas”以及第六段“The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings—far more than humans could analyze (分析). So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system (系统) trained to identify (鉴别) the calls of Plains-wanderers.”可知，研究人员使用了“song meters”来记录鸟类的叫声，并将这些录音输入到AI系统中进行分析，从而定位到它们。故填They set up special recording tools in the grassy areas, recorded/collected the sounds in the areas, and used an AI system to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers./By setting up special recording tools in the grassy areas, recording/collecting the sounds in the areas, and using an AI system to identify the calls of Plains-wanderers.
44．根据最后一段“The AI system discovered Plains-wanderer calls coming from two of the places. The scientists double-checked and found that the AI system was correct.”可知，最后一段提到AI系统成功识别了Plains-wanderers的叫声，并且科学家们验证了AI系统的准确性。因此，空白处可以补充说明这一成功证明了AI技术在发现小型鸟类的重要作用，并预测了将来研究人员计划使用更多工具来进一步保护鸟类和环境。故填The new AI system plays an important role in finding the small birds. In the future, they plan to use more tools like this to help protect the birds and the environment.

I’m Patrick McCarthy, feel free to call me Pat. This is the space where I can help with anything you have no idea of, one-on-one. Go ahead and ask! Reply soon once online!
Dear Patrick,
At the beginning of the term, I made a study plan with my best friend so that we could cheer up each other in our learning journey, but now I feel like she’s not taking it seriously enough. It makes me angry.
Lulu
Hi Lulu,
First, when you two first made the study plan, was it treated as a fun idea or something serious Your friend might not realize how annoyed you feel at her. Besides, there might be something in her life which is drawing her attention from the plan. Or it could be just as simple as being lazy.
Still, you won’t know until you ask her directly. Rather tell her straight away about how you feel. Ask her if anything has changed, and express that you want to help get her back on plan.
Though, this isn’t a legal (法律的) agreement. As angry as you may feel now, it would be also upsetting to force her to do something which she no longer wants to. If that is the situation, it might be better to just let it go and find a new study partner while keeping your relationship with her still as a friend.
Pat

The Joys and Pressures of School Life

When we finally work out a difficult problem, the sense of achievements is just like finding a hidden treasure. In science classes, experiments open a door to the mysteries of nature. Moreover, the time spent with friends is valuable. During breaks, we exchange the latest gossip, funny stories, or simply relax together. Taking part in sports as a team, such as basketball or football, not only keeps us fit but also create memories that will last a lifetime.
However, school life isn’t all roses. We have to face mountains of homework and too many tests. Before big exams, we often stay up late to study, losing sleep and free time. And the competition with classmates can be a lot, which makes us feel worried about falling behind.
Thankfully, there are ways to deal with these challenges. To manage the heavy schoolwork, we can create a daily or weekly study plan, deciding when to do each subject according to its difficulty. When facing competition, we should focus on setting personal goals. Every small achievement, like getting a difficult question right, should be celebrated. A sense of satisfaction allows us to feel good about ourselves.
In conclusion, by valuing the happy moments and actively dealing with the challenges, we can make our school days more colorful and meaningful.

Studying Abroad: A Decision to Be Made with CareStudying abroad is a popular choice of many students for their future plans. However, in recent years, an increasing number of people have started to think about it rationally (理性地).
Studying abroad can open up new chances for students. However, there is still a lot they need to face. When abroad, they may feel uncomfortable, confused or even upset because they find the local culture quite different from theirs at home. For example, a student might find that people in the new country have different table manners, celebrate different holidays, or have different ideas about what is polite or impolite. If the student is not fluent (流利) in the language spoken in the new country, they might find it difficult to communicate effectively with others. This can make simple tasks, like shopping or asking for directions, quite challenging. —Wang Li (mother of twin girls) Studying overseas can be an exciting adventure for many students, but it often comes with a high price tag (标签). When a student decides to further his education in another country, he must prepare to face the problem—it may be a huge burden (负担) for the family. It includes not just the money they pay for classes, known as tuition fees, but also that they need to pay for the day-to-day living such as food, housing, and transportation. For example, David, the son of my boss, is now studying in England. He spends a surprising amount of money covering both his education and living. It costs him about 40,000 pounds in total each year! It might not be affordable for everyone. It’s of great importance for students and their families to carefully think about it before deciding to study abroad. —Zhang Yi (father of one boy)
(A talk between two teenagers, Vivian and Gina) Vivian: Hey! I heard you were thinking about studying in America. Is that true Gina: Yeah, I’ve always dreamed of it. But recently, I’m not so sure. Vivian: Why the change I thought you were a big fan of American culture. Gina: Well, but is it necessary for me to go abroad if I want to be a teacher in the future Vivian: That’s a good question. I never thought about it like that. Gina: Studying abroad is a big decision. I have to think it through carefully.
41．Can studying abroad open up new chances for students
42．How much does David spend on education and living every year
43．According to the passage, what do people consider before deciding to study abroad
44．Suppose you are Gina. Will you study abroad Please explain. (About 30 words)
【答案】41．Yes, it can./Yes. 42．About 40,000 pounds. 43．Cultural differences, different languages, the cost and the future job. 44．No. Because I want to be a Chinese teacher and I think it is better and more convenient for me to study my mother language at home. Additionally, the cost of studying abroad is high, and I prefer to use that money to support my education and future career development in China.
【导语】本文通过家长观点和青少年对话，探讨留学需理性考虑的因素，包括文化差异、语言障碍、经济负担和职业规划。
41．根据“Studying abroad can open up new chances for students.”可知，留学能为学生开辟新机会。故填Yes, it can./Yes.
42．根据“He spends a surprising amount of money covering both his education and living. It costs him about 40,000 pounds in total each year!”可知，大卫每年花4万英镑在教育和生活上。故填About 40,000 pounds.
43．根据“they may feel uncomfortable, confused or even upset because they find the local culture quite different from theirs at home”，“If the student is not fluent (流利) in the language spoken in the new country, they might find it difficult to communicate effectively with others.”，“Studying overseas can be an exciting adventure for many students, but it often comes with a high price tag (标签).”以及“but is it necessary for me to go abroad if I want to be a teacher in the future”可知，在决定出国留学之前，人们会考虑文化差异、不同的语言、成本和未来的工作。故填Cultural differences, different languages, the cost and the future job.
44．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为No. Because I want to be a Chinese teacher and I think it is better and more convenient for me to study my mother language at home. Additionally, the cost of studying abroad is high, and I prefer to use that money to support my education and future career development in China.
阅读语篇，用自己的语言概括并补全报告中所缺信息，在空白处填入一个恰当的词块或句子。
校书院沙龙打算在世界读书日当天举办一次双语读书分享会。最近，艾伦读了一篇有关“拒绝他人”的文章，并写了一份读书报告，以便和同学们分享。但是他对其中的部分内容不太确定，请你帮助他完善该报告。
Tina, 14 years old, is a hard-working student. She follows the rules at school and does whatever her parents, teachers and even friends tell her to do. She is used to saying “yes” to everything. But Tina is not always happy about this. Sometimes, Tina doesn’t have time to help others, but she just can’t say no. How she wishes she could change!
Have you ever had such an experience Saying “no” to others can be hard for some people. However, saying “no” is a basic right. It means you’ve made a choice about what is important to you.
So if you have the same problem as Tina, the first thing you need to do is to allow yourself to say “no”. Keep in mind that if the other person cares about you, he or she will respect your decision and won’t hold it against you.
If you still feel bad about saying “no”, what can you do When your friend invites you to a party you don’t want to go to, you can start with something like “Thank you so much for inviting me, but I have a family event that day. I hope you have a great time!” When your friend asks you to clean the classroom for him, you can say, “I’m sorry. I’m really busy with my own homework right now. I can’t help this time, but maybe we can work together next time.”
If guilty (内疚) keeps you from saying “no”, try sharing something useful instead of your time. For example, if your friend asks you to help with his math when you are busy, you can lend him your notes or recommend (推荐) a good book. You can also suggest someone else who can help. Maybe you know another classmate who is good at math and has more free time.
It’s not easy to say “no”, but it helps you to save energy for something important. At the same time, it also gives you a feeling of freedom.

【导语】本文主要以蒂娜为例，指出其不擅拒绝的问题，并给出允许自己说“不”、选择合适表达等学会拒绝的建议，阐述说“不”虽难但对成长有益。
50．根据“How she wishes she could change!”可知，蒂娜虽然习惯对一切说 “是”，但她内心希望能够做出改变，故填to change。
51．通读全文可知，本文分别从允许自己说 “不”、礼貌拒绝他人、分享有用的东西代替付出时间这三个方面阐述了如何对他人说 “不”，故填some/three ways (to say no/of saying no)或some/three methods (for/of saying no/refusing others)或some/three suggestions (for/about/ on saying no/refusing others)或some advice (on saying no/refusing others)或some/three solutions。

I hope you have a great time!’ When your friend asks you to clean the classroom for him, you can say, ‘I’m sorry. I’m really busy with my own homework right now.

53．根据“It’s not easy to say ‘no’, but it helps you to save energy for something important. At the same time, it also gives you a feeling of freedom.”可知，作者总结了学会说 “不” 的意义在于能为重要事情节省精力并让人感到自由，故填we can save energy for something important and feel free。

任务型阅读
Recently, a Douyin influencer (网红) named “Xiao Zhang the worker” has become popular because of her “How-to” videos. In the videos, she teaches people the most basic life skills, such as how to attend a concert and how to take the subway. She has quickly got more than 2 million followers on Douyin.

Green ChinaWaste-to-energy is burning the waste to produce electricity. First, the cleaners collect household waste. Then, the waste is sorted through a series of smart sensors (智能传感器). Next, the sorted waste is poured into three different pools and dried. After that, the waste is sent to the incinerator (焚化炉) for burning. Finally the heat changes water into steam (蒸汽) to produce electricity. The ash and metals in the slag (炉渣) can be recycled and reused. By the end of 2021, there were more than 700 waste-to-energy sites across the country, processing 820,000 tons of waste per day. China has become the largest player in this area now. A zero-waste lifeA zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot (堆肥降解). People are helping our planet in this way. Following the rule, Liu Yu, 27, produced only two cans of rubbish for three months. She also opened a zero-waste shop in Chongqing to provide daily zero-waste products. All products are reusable. “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧) but for everyone. It’s just around us at our fingertip (指尖). To save the Earth, many hands make light work,” says Yu.
Green Planet ClubWang Tao, 15, has organized Green Planet Club in his school. They have DIY workshops. Here, old clothes can be made into handbags. It’s also fun to use recycled bottles and used wood to make furniture like chairs and desks. Iron and other materials from old toys can be made beautiful art pieces by them! Working as volunteers is their task as well. They tell people the importance of living a green life and teach people how to sort waste in communities.

Kids are natural inventors. They often create amazing things from simple ideas. Here are a few examples that might make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that ”
Popsicles Popsicles were invented by 11-year-old Frank Eppersoh in 1905. He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir stick (搅拌棒) in it outside on a cold night. The next day it was ice. Because of this he couldn’t drink it any more, but he could eat it. It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool. More than a hundred years passed, and Popsicles are still one of the best summer treats!
Earmuffs When 15-year-old Chester Greenwood was ice-skating in Farmington, Maine, in 1873, his ears were so cold that he couldn’t stand it. Although he tried covering his head in a scarf, it was not comfortable. After some thinking, Greenwood made wire into two circles and asked his grandmother to sew fur (缝制毛皮) on them. He then connected them with a steel headband (束发带) and the first earmuffs were invented!
Wristies While some kids just complain when snow gets in their mittens (连指手套) and their hands get wet. 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory decided to do something about it. She created the first pair of Wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists (手腕) warm and dry. Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your mittens and coat. They can also be worn alone. They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers. She also started a business, with her parents’ help, which she still runs today.
All these inventions have something in common. If they can do it, you can do it, too! Now you can begin to wonder, “One day, because ________________”
75．Did Frank Eppersoh invent Popsicles on a cold afternoon
76．How old was Kathryn Gregory when she invented Wristies

②Chinese students used to start learning English in middle school. Tian Lijun, born in the 1970 s, first learned English in Grade 7. “We spent the whole term learning English letters and easy words, and then, I didn’t realize we would finally use those words to write sentences,” said Tian. Later, English education began earlier. Wang Mengqi, born in the 1990 s, started learning English before primary school. She said, “In kindergarten (幼儿园), we had cute English textbooks with colorful pictures. Really interesting.”
③The learning condition has changed too. Teachers used blackboards in the 1980 s and 1990 s. Now students practice English listening and speaking through all kinds of multimedia tools, including computers, pads, and educational apps. For example, AI-powered apps like “ELSA Speak” can check their pronunciation quickly and help them speak more clearly. Some apps can even adjust (适应) to students’ learning speed, making personalized practice possible anytime, anywhere.

Now, however, “Li Hua” often tells Chinese stories to his foreign friends. What’s more, he also helps them solve problems, such as giving suggestions on how to deal with stress before exams or the ways to improve relationship with parents.

We often see people carrying bottles to make sure they drink enough water to stay healthy. After all, more than half of the human body is made up of water.
Many people have heard that we should drink 2000ml of water a day. Where does this number come from Scientist John Speakman explains, “If you look at the governments’ suggestions around the world, you’ll find almost all of them give the same answer. To everyone’s surprise, this advice doesn’t come from any research. Instead, it’s just a guess that is widely accepted by the public.” In fact, the amount (数量) of water in our body is changing all the time. Like your bank account going down when you spend money, your body loses water when you breathe, sweat, or use the bathroom. The truth is that there is a strong connection between people’s body size and the water they need.
Since everyone knows drinking water keeps us healthy, what will happen if we drink less than we should Dr. Nidia describes the result of being short of water, “We often start dehydrating (脱水) without realizing it. It’s very common that sometimes we think we’ re hungry and want to have some food, but this usually means that it’s time to drink some water.” Dr. Nidia also added that our body send messages, such as low energy, headache or dry mouth, to show we’ve already been short of water.
In general, whether to drink a little more or a little less, the more important thing is that to keep ourselves fresh and energetic.
Hello, everyone. I’m Li Hua, and I’d like to share an interesting passage with you today, which mainly talks about two things about drinking water. One is about 45 . Almost all the governments in the world recommend that people should drink 2000ml of water a day. But according to the scientist John Speaksman, this number is not based on research, but just a guess. In fact, the water you need 46 . It also discusses what will happen if we don’t drink enough water. According to Dr. Nidia’s opinion, hunger for food usually means that we are short of water. What’s more, 47 , such as low energy, headache, or dry mouth, might also show that we have already started dehydrating. Even though some information was lost in the last paragraph, I guess the writer tries to tell us something important to help us keep healthy. Therefore, the missing part should be “ 48 . From all above, I believe you have realized how important the water is for human bodies! What an interesting and valuable passage!
【答案】45．a. how much water people need (to drink) every day.
b. the amount of water we need a day. 46．connects with/ depends on/ is decided by your/ the body size. 47．a. messages from/ sent by our/ the body.
b.(our/ the) body messages. 48．a. we should/ need to drink enough water/ drink (enough) water in time (every day).
b. it’s necessary for us to drink enough water/ drink (enough) water in time (every day).
【导语】本文主要讨论了每日饮水量建议的来源及其科学依据，以及缺水对身体的影响。
45．根据“Almost all the governments in the world recommend that people should drink 2000ml of water a day. Where does this number come from ”可知，全球几乎所有政府都建议人们每天饮用2000毫升水，这个数字从哪里来？故本文讲到关于喝水的其中一个是人一天要喝多少水。故填how much water people need (to drink) every day./the amount of water we need a day.
46．根据“The truth is that there is a strong connection between people’s body size and the water they need.”可知，人体所需的水量与体型有密切关系，故填connects with/ depends on/ is decided by your/ the body size.
47．根据“Dr. Nidia also added that our body send messages, such as low energy, headache or dry mouth, to show we’ve already been short of water.”可知，身体会通过低能量、头痛或口干等症状发出缺水的信号，故填messages from/ sent by our/ the body./(our/ the) body messages.
48．根据“the more important thing is that ... to keep ourselves fresh and energetic.”可知，保持充足的水分摄入是保持身体清爽和精力充沛的关键，故填we should/ need to drink enough water/ drink (enough) water in time (every day)./it’s necessary for us to drink enough water/ drink (enough) water in time (every day).

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing our world faster than ever before. From self-driving cars to smart home devices, AI has become an important part of daily life. It refers to computer systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. While AI brings many benefits, it also raises questions about its impact on society.
One major advantage of AI is its ability to improve efficiently. For example, in healthcare, AI helps doctors analyze medical data quickly, leading to better diagnoses. In education, AI-powered tools provide personalized learning experiences for students. Even in environmental protection, AI can predict natural disasters and help reduce pollution. These examples show how AI makes our lives safer and more convenient.
However, AI also has challenges. Some people worry that robots might replace human jobs, especially in factories or customer service. Another concern is privacy—AI systems collect large amounts of personal data, which could be misused. Additionally, over-reliance on AI might weaken human creativity and critical thinking skills.
To use AI responsibly, we need clear rules and ethical guidelines. Governments should create laws to protect people’s privacy and ensure AI is used for good purposes. Meanwhile, students should learn to work with AI instead of depending on it completely. For instance, using AI tools to solve math problems is helpful, but thinking independently is still essential.
To conclude, AI is a powerful tool that can shape the future. By understanding both its possibilities and risks, we can use it wisely to build a better world. As the saying goes, “Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master.” Let’s embrace AI while staying mindful of its limits.
Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing our world quickly.
Advantages of AI ·In hospitals, AI helps doctors analyze data to find illness faster ·In schools, AI tools create personalized lessons for students. ·For the environment, AI can 54 disasters like earthquakes and reduce pollution.
55 of AI Jobs: Roberts might replace workers in factories or shops. Privacy: AI collects personal information, which could be stolen or misused. Human skills: Relying too much on AI might make people less 56 or independent.

Chinese humor in English is helping the world understand Chinese culture better. It’s used a lot, especially on social media (社交媒体). This shows that Chinglish, a mix of English and Chinese, is not always regarded as wrong now like it used to be, but as a fun way to connect with others.
A popular example is a post (帖子) by a foreign blogger on a Chinese website. She talked about parting from her boyfriend. Many Chinese people left their ideas in English to comfort her, but their English wasn’t perfect. So some words of kindness turned into “You pretty, he not, u swan, he frog”. But others think it was fine because it was fast and convenient to write shorter words without changing the main meaning.
Chinglish even plays a part in the Oxford English Dictionary. Phrases like “add oil”, meaning jiayou in Chinese and “cheer” in English, have already been in the dictionary. Similar examples also include “Long time no see”. Such an act shows so many people have used the phrases or words that they can’t be neglected (忽视) .
After the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, people started to accept Chinglish more. It’s now seen in things like video games, where Chinese words are kept instead of being translated. This can be seen from the latest hot game around the world with a rich Chinese culture—Black Myth: Wukong.
In it, the Chinese words like yaoguai are no longer translated into English words, but kept as they are in Chinese. And foreign players just accept them and learn them happily as part of Chinese culture. Chinese people are also helping others understand their culture by explaining Chinglish words in games. This helps people around the world learn more about China.
But some people also show their worries. A teacher said that Chinglish should not be used in situations like in class or at an important work meeting or discussion. It may cause misunderstanding and make others think you’re impolite.
49．

【答案】49．mistake 50．speed 51．popular 52．(d)irect 53．Different
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了中式英语（Chinglish）在社交媒体、词典、游戏等领域的应用，以及它如何帮助世界更好地理解中国文化。
49．根据“This shows that Chinglish, a mix of English and Chinese, is not always regarded as wrong now like it used to be, but as a fun way to connect with others.”可知中式英语，即英语和汉语的混合，现在不再像过去那样被认为是不正确的，而是一种有趣的与他人交流的方式。因此中式英语以前被认为是错误的，前有冠词a，从此用单数mistake。故填mistake。
50．根据“But others think it was fine because it was fast and convenient to write shorter words without changing the main meaning.”可知它但其他人认为这很好，因为在不改变主要含义的情况下写较短的单词既快速又方便。因此中国人用中式英语表达想法是因为快速且方便，空格处用名词，“速度speed”。故填speed。
51．根据“Chinglish even plays a part in the Oxford English Dictionary. Phrases like ‘add oil’, meaning jiayou in Chinese and ‘cheer’ in English, have already been in the dictionary. Similar examples also include ‘Long time no see’. Such an act shows so many people have used the phrases or words that they can’t be neglected (忽视).”可知中式英语甚至在《牛津英语词典》中占有一席之地。因此中式英语现在很流行。故填popular。
52．根据“After the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, people started to accept Chinglish more. It’s now seen in things like video games, where Chinese words are kept instead of being translated. ”以及首字母提示可知2008年北京奥运会后，人们开始更多地接受中式英语的直接使用，而不是被翻译，direct“直接的”，形容词作定语。故填(d)irect。
53．根据“But some people also show their worries. A teacher said that Chinglish should not be used in situations like in class or at an important work meeting or discussion. It may cause misunderstanding and make others think you’re impolite.”可知也有不同的观点。故填Different。

But he and his team took on this challenge To keep the project secret, they stopped contacting the outside world, even their families. Huang Xuhua left his hometown for many years.

After many tests, they gradually solved these problems.
Finally, in the 1970s, China’s first nuclear submarine was built and tested successfully. This made China one of the few countries that had this ability. Huang Xuhua didn’t stop after this big success. He went on to help with the development of submarine technology.

Tina is my sister. She used to be fat and others often laughed at her, so she became very shy. She was scared to say hello to strangers. She was afraid to ask simple questions and speak loud in front of others. It seemed that she felt afraid of everything in her life. She used to believe that she would be like this all her life.
But one day, her teacher encouraged Tina to change herself. He said, “If you can give it a try, you will have a chance to make a change. But if you never try, your life is only going to get worse.” Tina was deeply touched. She thought, “Why not have a try After all, I had nothing to lose.”

The Plains-wanderer is an endangered small bird that lives in Australia’s grasslands. Not just any grasslands. Plains-wanderers are picky. There can’t be too much grass or too little. For this reason, scientists sometimes call them the “Goldilocks” of animals.
Zoos Victoria says, “There is no bird like it in the world.” In fact, scientists have put the species into a “family” all by itself, since there are no other similar birds.
The little birds are only about six inches tall. They’re not good at flying, so they spend most of their time on the ground. When they feel themselves in danger, they crouch down to hide. Normally, they choose to run away rather than fly.
To protect these endangered birds, scientists first had to learn where they were. So Zoos Victoria worked with Queensland University of Technology on a plan to locate (定位) the birds. Since Plains-wanderers are hard to see, the team chose to “listen” for the birds instead.
Female Plains-wanderers make an unusual “Ooom” call, and this was the key to locating them. The researchers set up 35 special recording tools called “song meters” in nine different grassy areas where Plains-wanderers could possibly have been. Song meters record all the sounds made in an area over a long period of time.
The song meters collected tens of thousands of hours of recordings—far more than humans could analyze (分析). So the researchers fed the recordings to an AI system (系统) trained to identify (鉴别) the calls of Plains-wanderers.
The AI system discovered Plains-wanderer calls coming from two of the places. The scientists double-checked and found that the AI system was correct. ________
41．Do Plains-wanderers live in the grasslands in Africa
42．How tall are Plains-wanderers
43．How did the researchers locate the Plains-wanderers
44．Please fill in the blank to complete the last paragraph. (About 30 words)

I’m Patrick McCarthy, feel free to call me Pat. This is the space where I can help with anything you have no idea of, one-on-one. Go ahead and ask! Reply soon once online!
Dear Patrick,
At the beginning of the term, I made a study plan with my best friend so that we could cheer up each other in our learning journey, but now I feel like she’s not taking it seriously enough. It makes me angry.
Lulu
Hi Lulu,
First, when you two first made the study plan, was it treated as a fun idea or something serious Your friend might not realize how annoyed you feel at her. Besides, there might be something in her life which is drawing her attention from the plan. Or it could be just as simple as being lazy.
Still, you won’t know until you ask her directly. Rather tell her straight away about how you feel. Ask her if anything has changed, and express that you want to help get her back on plan.
Though, this isn’t a legal (法律的) agreement. As angry as you may feel now, it would be also upsetting to force her to do something which she no longer wants to. If that is the situation, it might be better to just let it go and find a new study partner while keeping your relationship with her still as a friend.

These days, “Citywalk” is becoming popular among young people. It’s about walking around a city on foot and finding unusual things that people might not have noticed before. Such walks take you to places where you can communicate with local people, eat at small but authentic (正宗的) restaurants, and have a better understanding of the city’s history and culture.
Yao Xue, who these days moved from Beijing to Shanghai, said “I think Shanghai is a city perfect for Citywalk. There are big trees along the streets and shops selling different products, which is perfect for friends to walk together and take photos.” After several Citywalk experiences, she signed up for a two-hour Citywalk priced at 88 yuan per person. A tour guide introduced the history of the buildings and streets along the way. “If it was me walking alone, I would simply find the streets beautiful, but the tour guide helped me have a better understanding of the local culture in Shanghai,” she said. What’s more, she has made friends with two other walkers.
Yi Han, a manager of a company, thought Citywalk can help travelers learn about local culture and live as local people do. “People participate (参加) in Citywalks usually have similar tastes, and can have in-depth discussions with each other,” he said.

The Joys and Pressures of School Life
School life is a special and unforgettable journey for us students, filled with both wonderful experiences and challenging times.
There’s plenty to enjoy. It is truly exciting to learn new knowledge across different subjects. Take math for example. When we finally work out a difficult problem, the sense of achievements is just like finding a hidden treasure. In science classes, experiments open a door to the mysteries of nature. Moreover, the time spent with friends is valuable. During breaks, we exchange the latest gossip, funny stories, or simply relax together. Taking part in sports as a team, such as basketball or football, not only keeps us fit but also create memories that will last a lifetime.
However, school life isn’t all roses. We have to face mountains of homework and too many tests. Before big exams, we often stay up late to study, losing sleep and free time. And the competition with classmates can be a lot, which makes us feel worried about falling behind.
Thankfully, there are ways to deal with these challenges. To manage the heavy schoolwork, we can create a daily or weekly study plan, deciding when to do each subject according to its difficulty. When facing competition, we should focus on setting personal goals. Every small achievement, like getting a difficult question right, should be celebrated. A sense of satisfaction allows us to feel good about ourselves.
In conclusion, by valuing the happy moments and actively dealing with the challenges, we can make our school days more colorful and meaningful.

Studying Abroad: A Decision to Be Made with CareStudying abroad is a popular choice of many students for their future plans. However, in recent years, an increasing number of people have started to think about it rationally (理性地).
Studying abroad can open up new chances for students. However, there is still a lot they need to face. When abroad, they may feel uncomfortable, confused or even upset because they find the local culture quite different from theirs at home. For example, a student might find that people in the new country have different table manners, celebrate different holidays, or have different ideas about what is polite or impolite. If the student is not fluent (流利) in the language spoken in the new country, they might find it difficult to communicate effectively with others. This can make simple tasks, like shopping or asking for directions, quite challenging. —Wang Li (mother of twin girls) Studying overseas can be an exciting adventure for many students, but it often comes with a high price tag (标签). When a student decides to further his education in another country, he must prepare to face the problem—it may be a huge burden (负担) for the family. It includes not just the money they pay for classes, known as tuition fees, but also that they need to pay for the day-to-day living such as food, housing, and transportation. For example, David, the son of my boss, is now studying in England. He spends a surprising amount of money covering both his education and living. It costs him about 40,000 pounds in total each year! It might not be affordable for everyone. It’s of great importance for students and their families to carefully think about it before deciding to study abroad. —Zhang Yi (father of one boy)
(A talk between two teenagers, Vivian and Gina) Vivian: Hey! I heard you were thinking about studying in America. Is that true Gina: Yeah, I’ve always dreamed of it. But recently, I’m not so sure. Vivian: Why the change I thought you were a big fan of American culture. Gina: Well, but is it necessary for me to go abroad if I want to be a teacher in the future Vivian: That’s a good question. I never thought about it like that. Gina: Studying abroad is a big decision. I have to think it through carefully.
41．Can studying abroad open up new chances for students
42．How much does David spend on education and living every year
43．According to the passage, what do people consider before deciding to study abroad

校书院沙龙打算在世界读书日当天举办一次双语读书分享会。最近，艾伦读了一篇有关“拒绝他人”的文章，并写了一份读书报告，以便和同学们分享。但是他对其中的部分内容不太确定，请你帮助他完善该报告。
Tina, 14 years old, is a hard-working student. She follows the rules at school and does whatever her parents, teachers and even friends tell her to do. She is used to saying “yes” to everything. But Tina is not always happy about this. Sometimes, Tina doesn’t have time to help others, but she just can’t say no. How she wishes she could change!
Have you ever had such an experience Saying “no” to others can be hard for some people. However, saying “no” is a basic right. It means you’ve made a choice about what is important to you.
So if you have the same problem as Tina, the first thing you need to do is to allow yourself to say “no”. Keep in mind that if the other person cares about you, he or she will respect your decision and won’t hold it against you.
If you still feel bad about saying “no”, what can you do When your friend invites you to a party you don’t want to go to, you can start with something like “Thank you so much for inviting me, but I have a family event that day. I hope you have a great time!” When your friend asks you to clean the classroom for him, you can say, “I’m sorry. I’m really busy with my own homework right now. I can’t help this time, but maybe we can work together next time.”
If guilty (内疚) keeps you from saying “no”, try sharing something useful instead of your time. For example, if your friend asks you to help with his math when you are busy, you can lend him your notes or recommend (推荐) a good book. You can also suggest someone else who can help. Maybe you know another classmate who is good at math and has more free time.
It’s not easy to say “no”, but it helps you to save energy for something important. At the same time, it also gives you a feeling of freedom.

Recently, a Douyin influencer (网红) named “Xiao Zhang the worker” has become popular because of her “How-to” videos. In the videos, she teaches people the most basic life skills, such as how to attend a concert and how to take the subway. She has quickly got more than 2 million followers on Douyin. From the rising popularity of “How-to” videos, we can realize that young people like to search on social media platforms like Douyin and Bilibili for information more.
Li Zhouzi, a 14-year-old girl from Shanxi Province, likes to search on Bilibili. She said that by doing this, she could get information more easily. For example, when using traditional search engines for a concept (概念) of physics, she would always lose her way in a sea of information. Instead, videos by creators on Bilibili can offer explanations that are clearly what she wants.
Hu Tian is a 13-year-old girl from Sichuan Province. When she is free, she likes searching for how to make resin-dripping (滴胶) on Xiaohongshu. She can see notes with photos and texts shared by people who are also interested in it. After she finishes her work, she can share the videos on Xiaohongshu, too. “I believe in these photos and texts more than some information given by unknown people on search engines.” she said, “and I’d like to share something to help others, too. It’s convenient and easy.”
Where there are people, there is modern technology. Whether you like it or not, it will be there. You can take one you like and make good use of it. But you should also remember it has disadvantage, so try to avoid its disadvantage.
45．Does Li Zhouzi like to search on Bilibili or Douyin
46．What can we realize from the rising popularity of How-to videos of “Xiao Zhang the worker”
47．What can Hu Tian do on Xiaohongshu

Going GreenHumans have lived on the earth for 35, 000 years, but during this period, we have polluted our planet a lot in many ways. What can we do to build a beautiful China
Green ChinaWaste-to-energy is burning the waste to produce electricity. First, the cleaners collect household waste. Then, the waste is sorted through a series of smart sensors (智能传感器). Next, the sorted waste is poured into three different pools and dried. After that, the waste is sent to the incinerator (焚化炉) for burning. Finally the heat changes water into steam (蒸汽) to produce electricity. The ash and metals in the slag (炉渣) can be recycled and reused. By the end of 2021, there were more than 700 waste-to-energy sites across the country, processing 820,000 tons of waste per day. China has become the largest player in this area now. A zero-waste lifeA zero-waste life follows the 6R rule—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot (堆肥降解). People are helping our planet in this way. Following the rule, Liu Yu, 27, produced only two cans of rubbish for three months. She also opened a zero-waste shop in Chongqing to provide daily zero-waste products. All products are reusable. “The zero-waste lifestyle is not for ascetics (苦行僧) but for everyone. It’s just around us at our fingertip (指尖). To save the Earth, many hands make light work,” says Yu.
Green Planet ClubWang Tao, 15, has organized Green Planet Club in his school. They have DIY workshops. Here, old clothes can be made into handbags. It’s also fun to use recycled bottles and used wood to make furniture like chairs and desks. Iron and other materials from old toys can be made beautiful art pieces by them! Working as volunteers is their task as well. They tell people the importance of living a green life and teach people how to sort waste in communities. Earth All the members in Green Planet Club believe: “Earth for All, All for Earth.”

Kids are natural inventors. They often create amazing things from simple ideas. Here are a few examples that might make you wonder, “Why didn’t I think of that ”
Popsicles Popsicles were invented by 11-year-old Frank Eppersoh in 1905. He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir stick (搅拌棒) in it outside on a cold night. The next day it was ice. Because of this he couldn’t drink it any more, but he could eat it. It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool. More than a hundred years passed, and Popsicles are still one of the best summer treats!
Earmuffs When 15-year-old Chester Greenwood was ice-skating in Farmington, Maine, in 1873, his ears were so cold that he couldn’t stand it. Although he tried covering his head in a scarf, it was not comfortable. After some thinking, Greenwood made wire into two circles and asked his grandmother to sew fur (缝制毛皮) on them. He then connected them with a steel headband (束发带) and the first earmuffs were invented!
Wristies While some kids just complain when snow gets in their mittens (连指手套) and their hands get wet. 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory decided to do something about it. She created the first pair of Wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists (手腕) warm and dry. Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your mittens and coat. They can also be worn alone. They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers. She also started a business, with her parents’ help, which she still runs today.
All these inventions have something in common. If they can do it, you can do it, too! Now you can begin to wonder, “One day, because ________________”
75．Did Frank Eppersoh invent Popsicles on a cold afternoon
76．How old was Kathryn Gregory when she invented Wristies

①Most Chinese students are familiar with Li Hua. In English exams, they often need to write a letter to a foreign friend in the name of Li Hua. He has been with Chinese students for quite a long time. However, over the past years, changes have taken place in China’s English education.
②Chinese students used to start learning English in middle school. Tian Lijun, born in the 1970 s, first learned English in Grade 7. “We spent the whole term learning English letters and easy words, and then, I didn’t realize we would finally use those words to write sentences,” said Tian. Later, English education began earlier. Wang Mengqi, born in the 1990 s, started learning English before primary school. She said, “In kindergarten (幼儿园), we had cute English textbooks with colorful pictures. Really interesting.”
③The learning condition has changed too. Teachers used blackboards in the 1980 s and 1990 s. Now students practice English listening and speaking through all kinds of multimedia tools, including computers, pads, and educational apps. For example, AI-powered apps like “ELSA Speak” can check their pronunciation quickly and help them speak more clearly. Some apps can even adjust (适应) to students’ learning speed, making personalized practice possible anytime, anywhere.
④Another change is about English writing. In the past, students often wrote a letter to his foreign friend to ask about local weather or culture before going abroad in the name of Li Hua. Now, however, “Li Hua” often tells Chinese stories to his foreign friends. What’s more, he also helps them solve problems, such as giving suggestions on how to deal with stress before exams or the ways to improve relationship with parents. This change shows _____________________

We often see people carrying bottles to make sure they drink enough water to stay healthy. After all, more than half of the human body is made up of water.
Many people have heard that we should drink 2000ml of water a day. Where does this number come from Scientist John Speakman explains, “If you look at the governments’ suggestions around the world, you’ll find almost all of them give the same answer. To everyone’s surprise, this advice doesn’t come from any research. Instead, it’s just a guess that is widely accepted by the public.” In fact, the amount (数量) of water in our body is changing all the time. Like your bank account going down when you spend money, your body loses water when you breathe, sweat, or use the bathroom. The truth is that there is a strong connection between people’s body size and the water they need.
Since everyone knows drinking water keeps us healthy, what will happen if we drink less than we should Dr. Nidia describes the result of being short of water, “We often start dehydrating (脱水) without realizing it. It’s very common that sometimes we think we’ re hungry and want to have some food, but this usually means that it’s time to drink some water.” Dr. Nidia also added that our body send messages, such as low energy, headache or dry mouth, to show we’ve already been short of water.
In general, whether to drink a little more or a little less, the more important thing is that to keep ourselves fresh and energetic.
Hello, everyone. I’m Li Hua, and I’d like to share an interesting passage with you today, which mainly talks about two things about drinking water. One is about 45 . Almost all the governments in the world recommend that people should drink 2000ml of water a day. But according to the scientist John Speaksman, this number is not based on research, but just a guess. In fact, the water you need 46 . It also discusses what will happen if we don’t drink enough water. According to Dr. Nidia’s opinion, hunger for food usually means that we are short of water. What’s more, 47 , such as low energy, headache, or dry mouth, might also show that we have already started dehydrating. Even though some information was lost in the last paragraph, I guess the writer tries to tell us something important to help us keep healthy. Therefore, the missing part should be “ 48 . From all above, I believe you have realized how important the water is for human bodies! What an interesting and valuable passage!

The Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing our world faster than ever before. From self-driving cars to smart home devices, AI has become an important part of daily life. It refers to computer systems that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision-making. While AI brings many benefits, it also raises questions about its impact on society.
One major advantage of AI is its ability to improve efficiently. For example, in healthcare, AI helps doctors analyze medical data quickly, leading to better diagnoses. In education, AI-powered tools provide personalized learning experiences for students. Even in environmental protection, AI can predict natural disasters and help reduce pollution. These examples show how AI makes our lives safer and more convenient.
However, AI also has challenges. Some people worry that robots might replace human jobs, especially in factories or customer service. Another concern is privacy—AI systems collect large amounts of personal data, which could be misused. Additionally, over-reliance on AI might weaken human creativity and critical thinking skills.
To use AI responsibly, we need clear rules and ethical guidelines. Governments should create laws to protect people’s privacy and ensure AI is used for good purposes. Meanwhile, students should learn to work with AI instead of depending on it completely. For instance, using AI tools to solve math problems is helpful, but thinking independently is still essential.

Have you ever paid close attention to a cloud and noticed its ever-changing forms If not, you could be missing out on something quite wonderful.
Cloud admiring is an activity without a threshold (门槛) and it doesn’t require much. Sometimes, it can be an invitation to be amazed by something so common that we’ve become blind to it. Or you can go deeper, trying to make sense of the sky by learning the different kinds of clouds.
Zheng, 25, a pop science blogger, is known as the “Cloud Collector” on Xiaohongshu. In 2021, Zheng started to take cloud photos. “Clouds have always served as a stress relief for many people like me,” said Zheng from Fujian. “I really feel relaxed in recording the beauty of daily life. ” For the purpose of spreading lovely moments to more people, Zheng started to share cloud photos in 2022.
By admiring clouds, she added, people can know when to take an umbrella, whether to wear sunglasses or when to put on warm coats. It also offers a chance to break the ice with a stranger next to you by asking “How is the weather today ” after you watch the clouds.
As a growing number of online users began to show interest and raise questions, Zheng realized that she could offer more science content (内容) about cloud admiring. So she started to learn more by reading professional books and papers on clouds.
Zheng has now shared nearly 200 pieces of popular science content, including cloud recognizing, formation, comparisons of different kinds of clouds and weather-related knowledge. She now has over 210,000 followers on Xiaohongshu, and there are five group chats on the app where thousands of users share their daily cloud-admiring experiences.
Looking ahead, Zheng hopes to make cloud admiring more popular. 4

Chinese humor in English is helping the world understand Chinese culture better. It’s used a lot, especially on social media (社交媒体). This shows that Chinglish, a mix of English and Chinese, is not always regarded as wrong now like it used to be, but as a fun way to connect with others.
A popular example is a post (帖子) by a foreign blogger on a Chinese website. She talked about parting from her boyfriend. Many Chinese people left their ideas in English to comfort her, but their English wasn’t perfect. So some words of kindness turned into “You pretty, he not, u swan, he frog”. But others think it was fine because it was fast and convenient to write shorter words without changing the main meaning.
Chinglish even plays a part in the Oxford English Dictionary. Phrases like “add oil”, meaning jiayou in Chinese and “cheer” in English, have already been in the dictionary. Similar examples also include “Long time no see”. Such an act shows so many people have used the phrases or words that they can’t be neglected (忽视) .
After the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, people started to accept Chinglish more. It’s now seen in things like video games, where Chinese words are kept instead of being translated. This can be seen from the latest hot game around the world with a rich Chinese culture—Black Myth: Wukong.
In it, the Chinese words like yaoguai are no longer translated into English words, but kept as they are in Chinese. And foreign players just accept them and learn them happily as part of Chinese culture. Chinese people are also helping others understand their culture by explaining Chinglish words in games. This helps people around the world learn more about China.
But some people also show their worries. A teacher said that Chinglish should not be used in situations like in class or at an important work meeting or discussion. It may cause misunderstanding and make others think you’re impolite.

Huang Xuhua, a great Chinese scientist, passed away on February 6th, 2025. But his great deeds and strong spirit will always stay in our hearts and keep lighting up China’s way forward.
Huang Xuhua was born in Guangdong Province in 1926. When he was young, he saw the hard times of his country under foreign attacks. These sad memories made him study hard. He made a promise to make the country strong with his knowledge.
In the 1950s, when China started to develop nuclear submarines (核潜艇), it was a very difficult job. Huang Xuhua was not afraid and stood up bravely. At that time, there was not much advanced technology or many resources. It was like climbing a very steep mountain. But he and his team took on this challenge To keep the project secret, they stopped contacting the outside world, even their families. Huang Xuhua left his hometown for many years.
During the design process, they met a lot of problems. They couldn’t get help from foreign experts, so they could only depend on their own research. They used simple tools like abacuses (算盘) to calculate and do experiments with great effort. Another important problem was to make sure the submarine was stable underwater. After many tests, they gradually solved these problems.
Finally, in the 1970s, China’s first nuclear submarine was built and tested successfully. This made China one of the few countries that had this ability. Huang Xuhua didn’t stop after this big success. He went on to help with the development of submarine technology. His hard work and devotion (奉献) won him many honors, including the “Medal of the Republic” in 2019.
Now, when we think of him, we know that _________. In this way, his spirit will live on forever.
45．Was China’s first nuclear submarine built and tested successfully in the 1950s
46．Why did Huang Xuhua leave his hometown for many years
47．What problems did Huang and his team meet during the design process

When we talk, we want others to listen with attention. But when someone else is speaking, are we showing them the same politeness
Most people don’t listen well and attentively. Because most of us live in a busy world, we care about certain things and miss the rest. This also means we often don’t really focus on what people are saying. One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening.
Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating and giving your understanding. Active listening is not only hearing someone’s words but also taking notes of their nonverbal (非语言的) communication. Nonverbal communication can include body language, the tone (语调) and their talking speed. By practicing active listening, we can hold onto important information better and show care to others. This useful skill encourages others to discuss more things with us.
To get better at active listening, give the speaker your complete attention. Although this may seem clear and easy to notice and understand, it is easier said than done. Stopping thinking about your phone and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are the first steps. By forgetting those things that could influence you, it’s easier to give your complete attention to the speaker.
Another way to practice active listening is to notice body language. Research shows that 55% of face-to-face communication is nonverbal,38% vocal and 7% words. When someone is speaking, their body language is giving information, too. With that in mind, you can give proper replies like nodding, smiling or looking at them with-politeness.
Now do you know how to listen actively
Problem: Most people 54 to listen well and attentively, although they experience same from others. Solution: Active listening Meanings of active listening Focusing on other’ communication and giving your 55
Paying attention to both verbal and non-verbal communication
Benefits of active listening Getting important information better

Encouraging further 56
57 to practice active listening Giving full attention by forgetting things that could distract you

In February 2025, China introduced a nationwide policy to give high school students two full days off every weekend. This change aims to reduce the heavy study pressure that students have faced for years. Before the policy, many students in provinces like Hebei only had one day or even half a day to rest each week. Now, schools are required to cancel all weekend classes and exams, allowing students to relax or explore personal interests.
According to the new rules, teachers cannot give extra (额外的) homework during weekends, but schools must keep libraries and sports fields open for students who wish to study or exercise voluntarily (自愿地). In cities like Changsha and Hangzhou, some schools have even started organizing weekend activities such as science clubs, art workshops, and community service programs.
Most students welcome the policy. “I finally have time to play basketball and read novels,” said Li Ming, a 16-ycar-old student. “I feel less tired and more focused during weekdays.” Studies also show that students who get enough rest perform better in exams. For example, a high school in Zhejiang reported a 15% improvement in average test scores after carrying out the policy.
However. some parents still worry. “Weekends used to be important for reviewing lessons. I’m afraid my child will fall behind,” said a parent. Rural (农村的) areas face bigger challenges. In villages where educational resources are limited, students have fewer chances to take part in afterschool activities. To solve this, the government has created free online learning platforms and encouraged urban (城市的) schools to share resources with rural ones.
Many teachers believe this policy marks a turning point in China’s education. It brings both benefits (好处) and challenges to students. They suggest that ________________.

Life keeps changing. While some changes are exciting, others may make us feel nervous. 54 Whether you like them or not, changes cannot be avoided. Have a good understanding of them may make it easier for us to deal with changes.
What are life changes
Many new things happen in life. Some are good choices you make, like joining a team or meeting friends. 55 They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or the death of your beloved one. Smaller changes might include having a new teacher or adapting (适应) to parents’ new work schedules (日程表). All these can create strong emotions, but that’s normal.
56
Changes can be difficult because we can’t predict results. Emily Hanlon, a phycologist (心理学家), says: “Our brains like familiar things because they feel safe. When something changes, like starting a new school or moving to a new home, it can feel like stepping into the unknown. 57 ” Changes can also be hard if you don’t feel quite ready for them or you are not in control of whatever is happening.
Can change be a good thing
58 Trying new things helps discover what you like and dislike, such as tasting new ice cream flavors (味道) to find favorites. Changes also help us grow and learn skills. Hanlon says “Though changes can be scary, they often bring new experiences, friendships, and strengths. So face the changes and believe in yourself.”
A．Life would be great if everything stays the same forever.
B．How can we deal with changes
C．This makes us anxious because we don’t know what’s coming.
D．Changes are a normal part of life.
E．Why can it be hard to deal with
F．But some changes might make you feel worried.
G．Life would be boring if nothing changed.

The Doctrine of the Mean is called “Zhong Yong” in Chinese. It teaches people to avoid extremes (极端) and find a balance in their thoughts and actions. This idea doesn’t mean staying in the middle all the time. Instead, it means making wise choices that fit each situation. For example, working too hard without breaks is bad, but being lazy isn’t helpful either. It also says we should manage our feelings — neither getting too angry nor hiding our feelings completely. For thousands of years, it has helped Chinese create a peaceful society by encouraging people to avoid extremes and find solutions. (Aristotle places a chessboard on the table.) Aristotle (亚里士多德): A good king balances two things: kindness and strength. Look at these chess pieces (棋子). Alexander (亚历山大): White chess pieces mean kindness, black ones mean strength But why mix them A king should be strong! Aristotle: Too much white, people think you’re weak. Too much black People will live in fear. Alexander: I see... Aristotle: It’s called Golden Mean (黄金中立). Use it to rule if you become the king one day. It should be also used through your whole life. Work but also rest, and show your feelings but not all. (Alexander followed the advice and later he became one of the greatest kings in history. And the idea of Golden Mean had a great influence on the Western society.)
Nowadays, the idea of “45° Life” influences many people’s lifestyles in our society. It describes a position between “neijuan” and “tangping”. 0°means total laziness, and 90°means extreme stress. At 45°, people aim to balance between work and rest. In an interview, some people expressed their opinions about it. Liu Jian, a young man who works in a big company, said, “I choose to have a 90° life. Doing nothing and just lying down are a waste of life.” Xiang Ping is a mother of two children. She said, “It could be 90°, 45°or even 0°. It depends on what kind of life you would like to live. No one can really decide it for you.” Coco also shared her opinion, “As a middle school student, I choose _________, because __________.”
41．Does “The Doctrine of the Mean” mean staying in the middle all the time
42．According to the conversation of Aristotle and Alexander, what do the white chess pieces mean
43．What do the three ideas “The Doctrine of the Mean”, “Golden Mean” and “45° Life” have in common
44．Finish the missing part in the last paragraph.

In spring, some people wear light T-shirts while others are in heavy down coats (羽绒服). It seems that people feel different temperatures on the same day. Why does this happen
In fact, people don’t feel air temperatures directly. It is through the sensors (传感器) on our skin that we can feel cold, cool, warm, and hot temperatures. They help us decide whether to wear more or fewer clothes.
When our bodies are the same size, how much body fat we have may be different and it will influence how we feel temperatures. The more body fat one has, the warmer he or she feels. This is because the fat under the skin helps keep heat. For example, old people often feel colder than young people as the fat layers (层) under the skin get thinner with age.
Surprisingly, another reason is height. We need blood to move around our bodies to keep us warm. Since most people’s hearts are about the same size, it takes more time and energy for the blood to move around in taller people. So taller people might feel colder.
Metabolism (新陈代谢) also influences how we feel temperatures. It shows how fast our bodies use energy. People with a higher metabolism always feel hotter than others. This is because they produce more heat and may take more time to cool down. For example, people with more muscles (肌肉) often feel warmer.
A ReportHello, everyone! Recently I’ve read an interesting article about 50 . Actually we feel air temperatures through sensors on our skin instead of 51 . Body fat can influence how warm we feel—the more body fat we have, the warmer we feel. Old people’s fat layers get thinner with age, 52 . Also, height is another reason. Taller people may feel colder because it takes more efforts for the blood to move around their bodies to keep them warm. What’s more, how we feel temperatures 53 . People with more muscles have higher metabolism. As a result, they produce more heat and they always feel warmer than others. Therefore, next time you see someone wearing a T-shirt while you’re in a down coat, don’t be so surprised!

About 41.1 percent of Chinese men were overweight or obese (肥胖的) compared with 27.7 percent of Chinese women, according to a study published in a well-known medical journal.
Chinese Body Mass Index (BMI体质指数) system describes overweight as BMI from 24 to 27.9 kg/m2 and obesity as BMI at or above 28 kg/m2. You can know your BMI with the following formula.
Researchers studied data from about 15.8 million people across about 250 cities in China. According to Chinese BMI standard, 34.8 percent of the studied population was overweight and 14.1 percent was obese. These people were aged 18 or above.
There are several reasons why men are more likely to be obese. As fathers, husbands, and brothers, men usually have to stand long-term excessive stress and negative feelings which can make the body produce more stress hormones (荷尔蒙). Such hormones play a role in increasing fat collecting.
In order to reduce stress, men often tend to drink alcohol, eat an unbalanced diet, and stay up late into the night. Some other habits, like sitting for too long without moving at work and sleeping irregularly (不规律地) are also closely related to obesity. All above can add to the risk of becoming obese.
By region (地区), the percentage of overweight and obesity in the north was generally higher than that in the south, with Inner Mongolia (37.1 percent), Shandong (37.1 percent), and Hebei (36.6 percent) being the top three.
People in higher BMI groups tend to have a greater number of complications. The early examination and intervention are important ways to prevent obesity-related complications.
41．Was the percentage of obesity in Hebei higher than that in Shandong according to the study
42．If a boy is 1.5 m tall and his BMI is 24 kg/m , how heavy is he
43．Why are men more likely to be obese according to the passage
44．If you become a little overweight, will you make up your mind to lose weight Why or why not

Both schools and families seem to have a fight with teenagers about the use of mobile phones. Should mobile phones be allowed in school Here are some pros and cons (利与弊) of allowing mobile phones in school.
The pros
First, students can keep in touch with their parents not only at school, but also on their way to attending activities by using mobile phones. Second, mobile phones can be used to ask for help when students are in danger. Third, mobile phones are actually important learning tools as long as students know how to use them wisely.
The cons
First, mobile phones draw much of students’ attention. Even if they are set to silent mode, students still want to check them. Text messaging has become a high-tech method of passing notes in school. As what we see in the documentary The Social Dilemma (困境), young people and even adults experience an addictive (上瘾的) need to check their mobile phones whenever the phones are available (可获得的). Second, mobile phones can have a bad influence on students’ mental health. Students may receive some bad information, which can be harmful to their mental health.
All in all, the mobile phone can really help students live a convenient life, but it shouldn’t influence their normal life. So it’s necessary to make more rules about how students use mobile phones.
Should mobile phones be allowed in school Here are some pros and cons of it. First, students can stay in touch with their parents anywhere. Second, they can ask for help 50 . Third, if the mobile phones 51 by students, they can serve as important learning tools. However, students usually pay much attention to mobile phones.

The bad information 52 is harmful to their mental health. With mobile phones, 53 can be very convenient. But they shouldn’t let the mobile phone s influence their normal life. So it’s necessary to make more rules about how students use mobile phones.

My sister, as a busy modern person with lots of plans and work, just couldn’t imagine not being in touch with the rest of the world. Keeping in touch with other people is a big part of her life, however, sometimes it bothers (困扰) her so much and makes her stressed out.
One day I discovered she was terribly upset. She tried turning notifications (通知) off. But the fear of missing out something important made her check the phone more often than before, and then she simply stopped using her phone.
Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, she told me that she had a big fear that all of her friends would soon forget about her. Besides, when she had a free moment, she had no idea what to do, and the worries about missing something kept bothering her.
However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing her changes. For example, I found she became much more focused (注意力集中的): Now, while doing something, she never wonders what is going on online like before.
Also, she told me she discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, she would look at it through her camera mostly:took a photo, posted it, got some likes. Now she saw beautiful people walking around and she could understand the actual (真正的) beauty of the world.
Now, as 100 days has passed, she gets happier and she can say that staying away from her phone is worth it. I believe she will do it for as long as possible.

At Xujia village in Fuzhou, Fujian province, an camphor tree stands proudly. Now over 100 years old, like a huge umbrella, it has offered a place for people to relax. However, the tree faced a great challenge around two years ago.
In January 2023, workers tried to move the camphor tree to clear space for a new project.
Their carelessness cost the tree all its leaves and branches.
Locals were shocked. Luckily, they knew where to turn for help. They found Zheng Shuhong, a deputy to the Fuzhou Municipal People’s Congress (福州市人大代表), who was responsible for environmental protection. To solve the problem, Zheng with two other deputies reported the problem to the local government and successfully stopped the project.
In a follow-up study, the deputies found that the ancient tree was not protected by any law. So the deputies wrote their suggestions into a report and sent it to the Fuzhou Municipal People’s Congress.
On March 15, 2025, China introduced its first national level rules to protect ancient trees. The new rules contribute a lot to the protection of ancient trees. They consider all trees over 100 years old as ancient. And they make them known to people around. Besides, after finding these trees, experts will go to check them and watch over each tree’s growth, with special signs placed nearby. What’s more, each tree will have a “tree keeper” to look after it every day. Now, about10, 000 ancient trees across Fuzhou are protected almost 10 times more than before.
The camphor tree in Xujia village stands taller than ever, its branches once again stretching like a protective umbrella over the community.
41．Is the camphor tree an ancient tree
42．Why did the workers try to move the camphor tree
43．How do the rules help the ancient trees
44．Why do you think ancient trees need special protection Give reasons. (at least 30 words)

We humans have been changing the world around us for a very long time. A 2024 study even found that humans in Africa may have used fire to prevent forest regrowth as early as 85,000 years ago. We change the animals around us too. Most famously turning wild wolves into dogs, maybe as early as 40,000 years ago.
And our effect on animals hasn’t stopped, right up to the present day. Because as we change the world, animals have to change if they want to survive.
For one example, consider how the roads we drive on could be changing the birds that fly over them. A study of swallows in Nebraska found that, from 1983 to 2022, the birds’ wings got shorter—probably because having smaller wings made them better at avoiding cars. The number of swallows killed by cars actually went down over the study period, even as the total swallow population increased—and most of the swallows that were killed have longer wings.
A human activity may also have led elephants to be born without tusks (the teeth of the elephants). Both male and female African elephants usually have tusks. But naturally fewer tuskless females were to be killed. So half of the female elephants were born without tusks, unlike those before.
Living close to humans may even make some animals smarter. City raccoons are better than country ones at opening bottles to get food. City raccoons have also learned to keep smaller fields so they don’t have to cross major roads, where they’re in greater danger!

Jim: Linda moved to our class last year. She was a common-looking girl. At first, I didn’t pay much attention to her. But one day in class, the teacher asked a hard question that nobody could answer. Surprisingly, Linda stood up and gave a perfect answer in a loud voice. I suddenly realized Linda’s beauty shone through her confidence (自信) rather than her look.
Cindy: It was an autumn afternoon, and Mr. Johnson suddenly stopped teaching and looked out the window with a soft smile. “Sometimes the world outside has a way of speaking to us,” he said quietly, pointing toward the sky. We turned to look, and the-sky was painted in amazing colors of orange, pink, and purple, bathed (沐浴) in warm golden light. For the first time, I sat in silence, touched by the beauty of the sunset (日落). Since then I have learned to admire the beauty in running rivers, high mountains, golden beaches...
Wang Ming: Last winter, I visited Harbin and experienced a game where hot water is thrown into the air. To my amazement, the hot water quickly turned into tiny pieces of ice and spread in the freezing air. My father explained, “According to physics, hot water can sometimes freeze faster than cold water in cold air.” I had never learned about this, and my father added; “Physics is a world filled with endless magical beauty. It isn’t just in seeing the hot water turn into ice, but in knowing why it happens.” That was when I realized beauty is found in science. It’s like finding a hidden treasure of amazing facts and ideas that make the world around us even more wonderful.

Nowadays, many young people like to “enjoy life” even if they can’t truly afford it, like having a very expensive dinner to make themselves feel good. Here are some students’ opinions about this kind of lifestyle.
Some people think this lifestyle is bad because it doesn’t consider the future. But I think it shows that people choose to enjoy life and stay happy, even when things aren’t going very well. Doing small things like drinking milk tea after a test can help them feel better. These moments of joy help them face new challenges. After all, isn’t finding light in the darkness a form of wisdom Shen Juan, a 16-year-old girl I think short-lived happiness may stop us from working hard. If we only do what makes us happy, it may be hard to achieve anything meaningful. Instead of chasing short-lived happiness, we should learn from older people: to work hard, set long-term goals and make plans for the future. We need to face difficulties with courage and take on the responsibilities that come with being a young person today. Wang Jun, a 15-year-old boy
Because of social media (社交媒体) and some other pressure, people often feel they need to buy expensive things, which can cause money problems. I believe that real happiness lies not in the richness of belongings, but in the simple life. Instead of spending money on things that don’t last, young people should focus on learning new skills and building strong relationships. This way, they can have a happy life that lasts a long time. Peng Sitong, a 16-year-old girl Young people today are under a lot of pressure. It’s important for them to find ways to relax and protect their mental (心理) health. Even if they don’t have much money, they can still manage to meet their needs to feel happier. Every generation faces different challenges. For older people, their problem used to be not having enough food or clothing. But for young people today, most of them don’t have such a problem. Li Siyi, a 15-year-old boy
41．Does Shen Juan agree with this kind of lifestyle
42．What does Li Siyi think it’s important for young people today
43．What are the similarities between Wang Jun’s and Peng Sitong’s opinions
44．Do you think young people should enjoy life now even if they don’t have enough money Explain at least two reasons. (about 30 words)

Everyone wants to be successful. The trouble is, most people want to be seen or known as successful more than they want to break the bad habits which may lead them to be unsuccessful. That’s because the lifestyle and rewards (回报) that come with success make everything seem easy.
People think that once they’re successful, they’ll have all the time in the world to do whatever they want. They think they’ll never have to work hard again. Because of this, they only see others’ success but miss the hard work, good habits and smart choices those people made along the way. As a result, they stay focused on all the wrong things, and never truly become successful.
One big reason people don’t succeed is that they talk a lot about their plans but seldom take real action. They believe they can work harder than others but never actually do the work. They also think that anyone who has achieved success was just lucky or knew someone. They do not face the truth: someone else is working hard and getting the rewards.
Another reason is that most of their time is spent on many fun activities like playing computer games or hanging out with friends, while successful people use their time to build good relationships, learn new skills, and work on projects that help them improve.
