As children, our mother always taught my brother and me the value of acquiring life skills. “It sets you apart and make you distinguished,” she would say. While my brother chose the path of mastering musical instruments, I was attracted to the field of languages. Growing up in a multilingual household where Chinese, Cantonese, and English mixed, I felt it natural to continue exploring new linguistic possibilities.
Languages fascinated me. I was attracted by the way words gracefully rolled off tongues and how each language seemed to unlock a door to an entirely new world, no matter how challenging they were to learn.
Eager to try beyond Asian languages, it was my mother who suggested French as a suitable starting point. The elegance and poetic charm of the language quickly attracted me. The melodic flow and the way the words effortlessly danced off my tongue caused an exciting feeling, fueling my desire to explore deeper into its complexity. Interestingly, despite my passion and talent for it, French proved to be the language that took the longest to fully grasp. Nevertheless, I insisted and never gave up expanding my linguistic arsenal（宝库）.
After realizing that Spanish wasn’t the right fit for me, I found myself addicted to the fascinating world of German. Being enrolled（就读）in a German-speaking school speeded my progress, and two years later, my command of German surpassed my years of studying French. As time passed, I added Latin, Ancient Greek, and Japanese to my linguistic arsenal.
It fact, speaking multiple languages is not a mere achievement; it is a joyous celebration of the richness of human expression. For me, it serves as a powerful tool to develop connections with people all over the world.
24. Why did the author’s mother teach her children the importance of acquiring life skills
A. It is part of making a living. B. It is a tradition in their family.
C. It makes a person outstanding. D. It contributes to future success.
25. What did the author think of a new language
A. It broadened her horizon. B. It increased her confidence.
C. It was necessary for her future. D. It was a valuable part of her life.
26. What can we know about the author’s learning French
A. She quit it halfway. B. She found it challenging.
C. She considered it unsuitable. D. She showed little interest in it.
27. Which word can best describe the author

With the arrival of the summer heat, the wave of cultural-themed ice creams is sweeping across social media platforms in China.
Museums, scenic spots, amusement parks and even universities have once again rolled out their unique cultural-themed ice creams this year. These ice creams are often tiny copies of famous landmarks or cultural relics（文物）that offer visitors a delight for the taste buds（味蕾）.
The trend of cultural-themed ice creams began in 2019 when the Old Summer Palace in Beijing was one of the first scenic spots in China to introduce lotus-shaped ice creams. It was inspired by that in 2017 eleven ancient lotus seeds were discovered in a pool at the Old Summer Palace. Six of these ancient lotus seeds bloomed in the summer of 2019. So to mark the occasion, staff at the Old Summer Palace designed ice creams shaped like lotus flowers. These ice creams were widely loved by visitors, not only serving as a cold treat but also offering a unique way for visitors to connect with their cultural heritage.
To protect their cultural relics, many museums have put up signs banning photography or the use of a flash. However, cultural-themed ice creams provide an alternative way for visitors to catch memories of their visit. Various flavors offer visitors a choice of colors and ingredients for the ice cream, which reflect the local characteristics and charm of these cold treats. It is also suggested by the museums that the visitors can take the carved ice cream bars home with them to use as bookmarks.
For many young people, taking photos of themselves standing alongside cultural landmarks is an artistic preference from their parents’ generation. To them, a selfie with a cultural-themed ice cream is a much cooler way to show off their travel experiences and bridge the gap between modern life and distant historical relics.
28. What can we learn about cultural-themed ice creams from the first two paragraphs
A. Visitors are eager to try their taste.
B. They are made due to summer heat.
C. Visitors spend much money on them.
D. They are often shaped like landmarks.
29. What inspired the idea of cultural-themed ice creams
A. The Old Summer Palace. B. The wide love by visitors.
C. The discovery of ancient lotus. D. The flowers of the six ancient seeds.
30. What does the underlined word “bridge” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Narrow. B. Measure.
C. Create. D. Affect.
31. What is the main idea of this passage
A. Creative way to protect cultural heritage.
B. Ancient lotus seeds flowered in modern times.
C. A cool way to show off your travel experiences.
D. Experiencing colorful cultures with your taste buds.

The rainforests of eastern Australia are home to a stinging（刺人的）tree known as Dendrocnide. Many people call it the gympie-gympie tree — a name given to the tree by indigenous Australians. It’s covered with sharp, needle-like hairs that carry poison. If you brush up against a gympie-gympie tree, you won’t forget it anytime soon. The pain can stay with you for hours, days or weeks. In some cases, it’s been reported to stay for months.
Scientists have long looked for the source of this powerful sting. Now researchers at the University of Queensland have discovered what makes this stinging plant so painful. After carefully studying different kinds of gympie-gympie trees, the scientists were able to separate out different chemicals that the trees produce. This allowed them to identify a group of chemicals that they believed was responsible for the pain.
The researchers created artificial versions of these chemicals, which they call “gympietides”. Sure enough, when the scientists injected mice with gympietides, the mice licked（舔）at the places where they’d been injected, indicating that they hurt in those places. When the scientists studied the way gympietides were built, they found that they formed a knot-like shape. The shape makes the chemical very stable, which helps explain how the pain lasts so long.
The knot-like shape of the gympietides was similar to the shape of poisons produced by poisonous spiders and con e snails. The scientists were surprised to see three very different kinds of life all use similar poisons. Spiders and con e snails carry poisons because they catch food by stinging other creatures. It’s not clear how stinging helps the gympie-gympie tree.
Though the tree’s sting may stop some animals from eating it, it doesn’t stop all animals. Beetles and pademelons（small relatives of the kangaroo）are able to eat the plant without trouble.
32. A touch on the stinging tree is unforgettable because ________.
A. it has an unusual appearance
B. it is extremely rare in nature
C. the suffering caused by it remains long
D. touching it creates a quite strange feeling
33. What do scientists fail to find out about the stinging tree
A. How it produces poisons. B. What poisons it produces.
C. The consequences of its sting. D. How it benefits from the sting.
34. What does the text imply about the stinging tree
A. It produces the same poisons as spiders.
B. Poisonous as it is, it also has natural enemies.
C. Animals are wise enough to stay away from it.
D. Only one chemical in it causes pain to the toucher.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Stinging Trees’ Secrets Exposed
B. Warning: Trees That Can Poison You
C. Strange Tree Species Found in Australia
D. Ways to Avoid Being Hurt by Stinging Trees

Lily loved school. However, there was one class Lily worried about more than any other —art. She didn’t know why she just wasn’t any good at drawing, painting, or cutting.
Ms. Clay, the art teacher, stood at the front of the room. “Class, next Friday our school is going to have an art competition.” she announced. Ms. Clay was a great teacher, and Lily liked her a lot. But this announcement made Lily nervous. “Everyone in the school will create a piece of artwork to show in the library. You can use the different types of artwork we have been studying.” Ms. Clay was quite excited when she spoke while Lily found herself sinking lower in her chair.
Lily had the whole weekend to work on her project, but she could not think of anything to do. On Monday, Lily felt frightened, so after school Lily asked Ms. Clay if she could write an art paper instead of doing an art project.
“I understand this project scared you, Lily.” Ms. Clay said. “Just remember, you can create any kind of art you want.” Ms. Clay smiled at her. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings —it isn’t always painting, drawing, or cutting. I know you will think of something very creative, and I can’t wait to see it.”
When Lily arrived home, she took out a piece of paper and a pencil. She remembered Ms. Clay’s words. “Art is a person’s way of expressing his or her feelings.” Lily wrote the word “terrified” on her paper. She crumpled（揉皱）the paper and threw it to the side of her desk.
Then Lily stared at the crumpled ball. Suddenly an idea struck her. Why not create something out of crumpled paper
