Chongming Island, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, is a beautiful and scenic destination that offers a unique blend（融合）of natural beauty and cultural heritage. Here are a few attractions you can not miss.

Visitors can take a pleasant walk along the lakeside or rent a boat to explore the lake. The park also hosts various cultural events and performances, providing visitors with a glimpse into the local culture.

In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises（蚕蛹）in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm.
Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator（ 馆 长 ）of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China.
Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed.
In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”
Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
24. What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning
A. Warm temperatures in local villages.
B. The number and size of the butterflies.
C. Improper location of the butterfly valley.
D. Lack of awareness of butterfly protection.
25. What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean
A. A choice difficult to make. B. A fact easy to understand.
C. A duty hard to carry out. D. A situation smooth to deal with.
26. Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen
A. Honest and professional. B. Humorous and creative.
C. Hard-working and strong-willed. D. Generous and easy-going.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A. Changing the Poor State of a Town
B. Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian
C. Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings
D. Developing a Relationship with the Locals
C
A famous health tip says you’d better drink eight glasses of water（about two liters）a day. However, the results of a new study suggest that fewer are needed. An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his 20s should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters, while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group. The study published recently in the Journal Science described, for the first time, a set of equations（方程组）to predict human water turnover, a sign reflecting the amount of water used by the body each day.
The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years from more than 20 countries, using isotope（同位素）-tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, while a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, with the water requirements dropping as he or she ages.
Since the metabolism（新陈代谢）and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking respectively contributing half of the remaining 85 percent, people are encouraged to drink less than 45 percent of the total daily turnover, according to the researchers. “The majority of people perhaps don’t have to drink eight glasses of water a day,” says Zhang Xueying, co-first author of the paper and an assistant research fellow at the SIAT.
The total water input and output change according to a number of factors, including body size, physical activity, air temperature and altitude（海拔）, according to the study. “The equations can be applied to individuals around the world,” says Zhang. However, people living in countries with a low human development index（指数）have higher water turnover than people in developed countries, she adds.
The study challenges the long-standing belief and marks the first step towards a personalized prediction of water requirements, says John Speakman, who also works at the SIAT.
28. How did the researchers carry out the study
A. By offering examples. B. By analyzing figures.
C. By performing interviews. D. By making predictions.
29. Why do most people drink less than eight glasses of water per day
A. Their daily diets are rich in protein.
B. Their bodies don’t need so much water.
C. They belong to different age groups.
D. They take in water from various sources.
30. What can we learn from paragraph 4
A. Living conditions influence human water turnover.
B. The equations are used to determine water turnover.
C. Body size is unlikely to change the output of water.
D. Temperature has nothing to do with the input of water.
31. What does John Speakman think of the study
A. It has a long way to go. B. It remains a riddle.
C. It wins public support. D. It is beyond control.
D
Fidget toys have been going viral recently, arousing safety concerns among parents and the whole society. To better protect the physical and mental health of young students, the Ministry of Education recently issued a notice, aiming to prevent fidget toys from presenting a risk to the health of the younger generations.
Fidget toys include inhaler nasal sticks and radish knives, which are popular as stressrelievers among students.
The “Energy Stick,” or inhaler nasal stick, has been selling well online recently on platforms such as Taobao. Some online shops have already sold nearly 100,000 sticks, whose prices range from 6 yuan to approximately 128 yuan. The product contains watermelon, tea and orange flavors and even alcohol to attract more customers. The online store salesperson responded by stating that the main ingredients of the product are camphor and mint（薄荷 ）, which do not contain any addictive properties. Meanwhile, Zhao Ting, a medical expert, told the Global Times that some children are likely to get addicted to the “Energy Stick.”
The colorful plastic toy knife, a radish knife, nicknamed “Carrot Knife,” has also skyrocketed an astonishing selling online. “After her classmate had bought a Carrot Knife and said it was a fun toy to use, my daughter also bought one, which makes me anxious.” Julian, a father from Beijing told the Global Times on Saturday. Some of radish knives are so small that they can be gripped in the palm of a child’s hand while others are as long as one meter. There are various ways of playing with the radish knife, with some mimic（模拟）attack at friends as part of a game, according to media reports.
Experts warned that such toys could encourage violence and cause long-term mental harm to children. To change this situation, the government stressed the importance on maintaining strict management, and stopping harmful toys into campus. Schools should organize safety promotion activities to teach students to correctly identify and keep away from dangerous and harmful toys. Also, parents should teach their children to play with toys safely and correctly.
32. Why have fidget toys become popular recently
A. They are beneficial to young students’ well-being.
B. They can help to reduce young students’ pressure.
C. Young students are allowed to use them at schools.
D. Young students can afford them at a suitable price.
33. What may help the “Energy Stick” attract young students
A. Its high value. B. Its plentiful nutrition.
C. Its rich contents. D. Its effective sales.
34. What does Julian really want to say about the “Carrot Knife”
A. It brings his daughter a lot of joy.
B. It might do harm to his daughter.
C. It has no effect on his daughter.
D. It helps his daughter realize her dream.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Different responses made to fidget toys.
B. Great importance attached to fidget toys.
C. Practical measures dealing with fidget toys.
D. Potential dangers brought about by fidget toys.

The significance of the junior year in high school is often ignored. 36 Making plans for university and future careers mainly depends on this most important time as well. Here are some tips on how to spend a successful junior year:
Start to research universities and colleges. University application processes are not only long and complex, but they also vary（不同）by country and region. Visit university websites and find out what the application period is, what documents are needed, and any additional qualifications they require. 37 Organizing this information in a table helps make comparisons easier.
Find training in the field of your interest. This provides you with an opportunity to develop new skills and acquire knowledge beyond the classroom. 38 By observing and experiencing the workplace directly, I developed my interests further in that medical field and learned and felt how doctors and nurses connected with patients.
Be actively involved in the school community. 39 It may well be the last opportunity to make unforgettable memories in high school before coming into the real world. Cherish the connections you make during high school, as they can provide a support network throughout your life.
40 During the junior year, a continuous number of long reports and the pressure of exams may make you anxious and insecure. Seek emotional support from your friends, parents and teachers, and have someone who you can trust. Also, spare some time to play sports or enjoy your hobbies.
Think of your high school journey like a marathon: although you may be slow, as long as you stay flexible, you will be able to finish the race.
A. Find your own ways to relieve stress.
B. Have a smooth communication with your parents.
C. There is a bright future in front of every one of you.
D. In fact, it is the busiest and toughest time of high school life.
E. I once worked at a local hospital during my summer vacation.
F. Don’t hesitate to participate in new activities or take any leadership role.
G. Collect information about different aspects of the university as much as possible.

Engagement（订婚）is an exciting and memorable event that many people look forward to. Bailey Davis, who had been in love with her boyfriend for more than two years, like many others, recently experienced this joyous occasion when she got engaged. As for the future, Bailey knew that no matter what challenges or obstacles came her way, she would always hold onto the memories and experiences she shared with her partner. She has been proudly wearing her beautiful engagement ring ever since, valuing it as a symbol of her love and commitment. However, her happiness was short-lived.
As a salesgirl of a large chain store, Bailey was as busy as a bee, going on business alone from time to time. On this particular day, Columbus, Ohio was her destination. She got up very early, packed all her baggage, and drove there happily. While at a rest stop, she used the restroom. Here, she took off her ring. But little did she know that she’d also leave it there. It wasn’t until she arrived in Columbus that she realized her ring was missing. “I had driven already two hours away to Columbus before I realized it wasn’t on my hand,” Bailey recalled. “I was shaky and sweating — I felt like I was going to puke（呕吐）.” By the time she returned to the rest stop bathroom, the ring was gone. At that moment, Bailey felt certain she would never see her precious ring again.
Bailey’s heart began to sink at the thought of the special value of the ring. For her, it was not just a piece of jewelry but a symbol of the love and commitment she shared with her partner. She couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of loss and disappointment.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

However, Bailey refused to give up hope. Just when she’s about to lose heart, something amazing happened.

One possible version
However, Bailey refused to give up hope. She started by contacting the rest stop management, hoping that someone might have found her ring and turned it in. She also posted about her lost ring on social media. The response was surprising with people sharing her post and offering words of encouragement. Days turned into weeks, and Bailey continued her search. She contacted local jewelry stores and even called the police. Despite her efforts, the ring remained hard to find, and Bailey began to feel hopeless.
Just when she’s about to lose heart, something amazing happened. She received a call from the rest stop management. A kind-hearted employee had found her ring but didn’t know where to turn it in. Bailey couldn’t believe her luck and rushed back to the rest stop. As she held the ring in her hand once again, Bailey was overwhelmed with gratitude and relief. She realized that material possessions can come and go, but the love and memories she shares with her partner are irreplaceable. The experience has taught her the importance of cherishing and valuing what truly matters in life.

M: Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Johnson’s Village. I’m Jack, and I’ll be taking you on the tour today. The wonderful place that you are going to see today was originally a farm which was established in 1834 by Mr. Hank Johnson, who was the first dairy farmer in this area.
