I’m Robert and I live in Shanghai now. Last weekend, I went to a village for a vacation with my friends.
My trip started early in the morning at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station. After two hours on the train to Ningbo and more than two hours on the bus, I arrived at the village. Fengpuao looks so small on the map, but 2,000 people live there, next to a lake and forests.
I stayed with my host family (寄宿家庭) for two days and they were friendly to me. They told me that I could call them Mama and Baba.
They had a daughter called Eva and she showed me around the garden and told me how to grow vegetables. I also went with Baba to a bamboo (竹子) forest. Then we went to the lake to go fishing. In the evening, my family and friends came over. We had a big dinner together.
The next day I woke up with the song of birds. It was something I never had in Shanghai. After breakfast, we went to work on the farm all day. I learned much about farm work. It was hard but very interesting. That evening, I came back to Shanghai.
The trip was only for two days, but it made me relax from the busy life. And it was a great time together with my host family.

During the long-awaited vacation, my family and I decided to go on a camping trip. After careful consideration (考虑), we chose a place near a beautiful lake just because the beauty of nature made us excited.
When we finally arrived, we saw a wonderful view. The lake was like a huge mirror, reflecting (反射) the blue sky and the trees on its banks. We quickly got to start setting up our camp. We worked as a team. My parents were busy putting up the tent, while I was laying out the sleeping bags and something else inside.
It was a sunny day. Standing on the soft grass, we looked towards the lake, and heard the sound of the waves. It made all the stress (压力) in our daily lives disappear immediately (立刻消失).
During the day, fishing was one of our favourites. Every time a fish tugged (拉；拽) at the line, it brought us excitement. After fishing, we also took a walk around the lake. We explored the surrounding woods, discovering small wildflowers and interesting rocks along the way.
As the sun began to go down, painting the sky with warm hues (色彩) of orange and red, we gathered around the campfire and chatted about everything from our daily lives to our dreams for the future. Laughter filled the air, and it was a moment of happiness and togetherness.
This amazing camping trip near the lake was not just a vacation. It was a wonderful opportunity (机会) for our family to bond (团结起来) and create lasting memories. It was a truly relaxing and enjoyable time that we would treasure forever.

Many kids help parents to do chores in the house. They may take out the trash, walk the dog or clean the floor. In return, some kids get money or other rewards from their parents, such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. One of them is Jane Smith, a parenting educator and family consultant (顾问). She believes if kids get rewards, they may think that work isn’t worth (值得) doing unless you get something in return. For example, kids won’t clean the floor if they see it is dirty. But they will do it if their parents reward them for it.
“Every house is a team effort (努力),”Jane said. “A home is a living place for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibility (责任) to keep our home clean.”
However, other people have different ideas. They believe that money or other rewards encourage kids to do more chores. It also helps them understand the real world. They can learn about how we need to work to make money.
Now, there are also apps that encourage kids to do chores. The apps give kids points and digital (数字的) gifts that can be used either online or in life. With Chore Monster, kids get digital points after they do chores. Kids can exchange (兑换) their points for real rewards, such as time to play video games or a trip to the shop. “Our goal is to encourage kids to do chores so they can get rewards,” says Joe Black, the founder (创始人) of Chore Monster. “Kids need positive (积极的) power to make them do chores.”
Anyway, action matters most whether it brings rewards or not.
10．The underlined word “rewards” in Paragraph 1 means _________.
A．reasons B．prizes C．shows D．excuses
11．Jane Smith thinks that _________.
A．housework isn’t worth doing B．parents should do chores at home
C．kids should get something in return D．kids shouldn’t get rewards for doing chores
12．What’s the purpose of the app mentioned in the passage
A．To encourage kids to do chores. B．To let kids play more video games.
C．To give kids digital points and gifts. D．To make kids keep their home clean.
13．The writer probably agrees that _________.
A．parents should not give children rewards for doing chores
B．it is parents’ responsibility to pay children for doing chores
C．all parents have to encourage their children to use Chore Monster
D．the more important thing is that children do something for the family
The Beijing Central Axis① is 7.8 km long from north to south through the city’s centre. It runs from the Bell and Drum Towers (钟鼓楼) in the north to Yongdingmen Gate in the south. Last year, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List②.
To celebrate, on a beautiful day, I stepped out of the subway station and began my trip along the Axis from the south. My walk from Yongdingmen Gate to Zhengyangmen Gate was easy. I spent some time exploring Qianmen Street. I found many famous names there. They included Quanjude, famous for its Beijing roast duck, and the Lao She Teahouse.
Keeping walking north, I passed through Tian’anmen Square and the Forbidden City before stopping for a quick lunch. Then I arrived at Jingshan Park. Climbing to the top, I took a bird’s eye view (鸟瞰) of the city. How fantastic!
Next, I rode a bike along Di’anmen Street to the Drum Tower and the Bell Tower. In ancient times, the deep sounds of bells and drums told the time.
Although my legs were feeling heavy, I climbed up the Bell Tower for a look back at the Axis. These ancient buildings weren’t just buildings — they were living history books of Beijing!

“Could you please plan a four-day trip for a family to Jilin Province in northeast China We’re a family of four from Beijing,” Wang Qian, a mother of two, asked the AI platform (平台) DeepSeek before this year’s National Day holiday.
Wang is part of a growing number of Chinese tourists using AI to enhance their travel experiences. In China, AI technology is developing very fast. Major tourism platforms have integrated (融合) AI technology, allowing users to ask questions about their travel plans. Then AI can provide advice that suits them within minutes.
Liang Jianzhang, chairman of Group, said, “AI can answer 80 percent of the questions, reducing (减少) users’ trip-planning time from about 9 hours to 6.6 hours.”
Not only tourism platforms, but also some provinces and cities are using AI to develop tourism.
In Guizhou Province, a digital (数字的) human named Huang Xiaoxi, dressed in traditional local clothes, provides tourists with many kinds of service, like giving information, booking tickets, and even writing travel notes.
Wearable smart guide devices (设备) have also become more popular in China, especially in museums. These devices offer users a private AI tour guide at a much lower price than human guides.
AI is changing travel experiences in China in many ways. In the future, it will play an even more important role in Chinese tourism.

“What You too I believed I was the only one.” 47 If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.
It seems that similarity often helps form friendship. The Greek thinker Aristotle once said, “People regard friendship as a matter of similarity: they say that we love those who are like ourselves.”
48 Scientists from the University of California said friends have similar behaviors, Scientific American reported.
The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in a test. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a discussion and a soccer match. 49 According to their scans (扫描检查), friends who watched the same video reacted in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while they were watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation (动机), learning and memory. 50
“Seeing one’s friends have similar behaviors will reinforce (加强) one’s own values, opinions and interests,” the lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson said.
51 Scientists from the University of Leipzig, Germany, found that friendship is also based on how physically close you are to someone. The scientists did a test on first-year college students the first time they met in class. In this test, students who sat in neighboring seats were more likely to become friends.
A．Now, there is some science behind this idea.
B．Have you ever said something like this to someone
C．Friends share a lot of similarities, though there are some differences.
D．But brain similarity is not the only thing that can result in friendship.
E．Have you ever wondered why you become friends with someone
F．However, people who weren’t friends had different reactions to the same videos.
G．At the same time, scientists scanned their brains and recorded their brain activities.
I am Barbara Sloan, 51 years old. I want to share my experience about an unusual friendship. How many friendships last for decades without meeting That’s what happened between me and my French pen friend Michèle.
We began writing to each other as teenagers, but 36 years passed before we met face-to-face. I started looking for pen friends because I was the only child in my family and I felt lonely. I still remember when my father brought me an envelope containing (包含) Michèle’s first letter and photo. Over the years, we exchanged family pictures, gifts, and souvenirs.
In 1972, I married Alan, a decorator. Michèle sent me a golden necklace as a wedding gift. When my children Lindsey, Duncan and Robert were born, she sent presents every Christmas. In November 1998, while wrapping Michèle’s Christmas present, Lindsey suggested, “Why don’t you visit her ”
A few weeks later, I wrote to Michèle proposing a visit. The next year, I flew to France. At the airport, after waiting anxiously, a blonde woman called out, “Barbara ” I responded, “Michèle ” We hugged tightly and spent a wonderful week together. I considered staying longer, but Alan called to say Robert was ill, so I returned home.
Two years later, Michèle wrote that she was planning to visit Britain. Alan and I went to the airport but waited in vain. Concerned, Alan called Michele’s home.

Getting in touch with friends is difficult after people change schools or move. They don’t know how to start the conversation again if they don’t talk with their friends for a long time. Many people want to get in touch with old friends, but they are afraid to do so.
Psychologists (心理学家) from colleges did a study on how people feel about getting in touch with old friends.
The study shows over 90% of the people don’t call their old friends. 70% of them don’t want to call their friends first, because they worry that their old friends won’t want to hear from them or are too busy to talk with them. Some people even think getting in touch with their old friends is as hard as talking to strangers.
Lara Aknin, one of the psychologists, said, “Most people are worried that they have different lifestyles and interests now. But these differences can be helpful for people to get close to each other. After sharing something new and interesting, they won’t feel embarrassed (尴尬的) at all. Instead, they know each other better.”
In fact, if you get in touch with an old friend, you will be surprised to find that he or she is also looking forward to hearing from you. So, why not give your old friend a call

In the coastal (沿海的) city of Laguna in Brazil, there is a special fishing team. It is made up of fishermen and dolphins! They work together to catch fish.
Mauricio Cantor from Oregon State University, the US, studied this partnership. As he told Science News Explores, this started more than a century ago.
“The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said. “The fishermen are really good at catching the fish with their nets.” Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves.
Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give cues to each other during fishing. Where dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast nets (撒网). Fishermen will then cast the nets right away, or they may lose the best chance. “Fishermen need to be well-trained to understand the cues from dolphins,” said Cantor.
The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have a 13 percent higher survival rate (存活率) than other dolphins.
Human-animal partnerships have been hard to see throughout history. But they give us an idea of how positive our human interactions (互动) can be with nature.
66．What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The city. B．The study. C．The university. D．The fishing team.
67．Which word can take the place of the underlined word “cues” in Paragraph 4
A．Reasons. B．Signs. C．Feelings. D．Promises.
68．How do dolphins and fishermen work together according to the study
①Dolphins arch their backs. ②Fishermen cast nets.
③Dolphins move in and get fish. ④Dolphins find fish in the water.
⑤Dolphins drive fish to the coast.
A．④③②⑤① B．⑤①③②④ C．④⑤①②③ D．⑤②①④③
69．In Paragraph 5, the author mainly wants to show this partnership ________.
A．should be improved and changed B．must last for a long time in history
C．might bring about a win-win situation D．could be in danger and end soon
70．What would be the best title for the passage

How do birds fly
Birds have one feature (特点) that tells them apart from all other animals: feathers (羽毛). These strong feathers, together with their light bodies, allow birds to fly with amazing skills and speed. Their special wings can be used in many different ways to control height and direction. Some birds fly high, while others stay low to the ground.
Why do birds fly south in the winter
Birds move from one place to another for some reasons. Some areas in the world are only comfortable during the warmer months of the year. So when cold weather comes, birds fly to warmer areas. These trips can be as long as thousands of miles. In this way, they can find lots of food.
_____________
Bird families work together to build nests, and each bird has its own special job. Some birds are great at collecting things, while others are good at building. Once they started, every bird followed, and now they have a tradition. Younger birds watch and try to copy what the older ones do. This teamwork helps them learn the ways to build special nests.

Can you say the meaning of “zero” Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法) Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too A study shows that bees have even greater math abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers (ending in 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) and odd numbers (ending in 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).
Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd or even number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sugar water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water.
In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people.
How did the bees learn the numbers so fast Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours!

Moo Deng is a baby pygmy hippo (河马). It is similar to a large hippo. But a pygmy hippo is much smaller. Moo Deng lives at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. She was born in July. Her name means “bouncy pork”. Her cheeks are pink. Her belly jiggles as she runs around her pen (圈；栏；棚). She nibbles on people’s knees. She is also an Internet superstar. Every move she makes is closely watched—whether she’s being sprayed with water, being carried by zookeepers, or simply lying on the ground.
Why is Moo Deng so well-loved Scientists say it is because humans are born to like cute babies, even baby hippos! Many baby animals usually have specific looks. They have big eyes and large foreheads. They have chubby bodies. These things make baby animals look innocent. That makes people want to protect them.
Konrad Lorenz was a zoologist from Austria. He was the first one to think of this idea. He talked about it in 1943. He explained that cuteness makes babies hard to ignore.
This is important for babies. They cannot live on their own. They need adults to look after them. Cuteness touches people’s hearts. When we see a cute baby, we want to cuddle (搂抱) it. We want to take care of it. This is how people feel when they see Moo Deng.
Pygmy hippos are in trouble. People hunt them, and the forests they live in are being cut down. Today, there are only about 2,000 pygmy hippos living in the wild. They might disappear forever. But Moo Deng’s fame might help. People love Moo Deng. Hopefully they will learn to care about all pygmy hippos.
81．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _________.
A．Moo Deng is a large hippo B．Moo Deng is unfriendly to people
C．People only watch Moo Deng online D．Moo Deng lives at a zoo in Thailand
82．According to the scientists, people love Moo Deng so much because _________.
A．she is a small pig B．she lives in Thailand
C．she is an endangered animal D．they find her cute and want to care for her
83．Which of the following explains the word “ignore” in Paragraph 3
A．Pay no attention to. B．Take good care of.
C．Become friends with. D．Look closely at.
84．Why might Moo Deng’s fame be helpful for other pygmy hippos
A．More people will want to visit the zoo.
B．It will help them become superstars too.
C．It will help people find pygmy hippos in the wild.
D．People might learn to care more about saving pygmy hippos.
85．What is the main idea of this passage
A．People only care about cute babies and animals.
B．Pygmy hippos have big eyes and chubby bodies.
C．Scientists are studying the behavior of baby hippos.
D．The cute pygmy hippo, Moo Deng, may help save her endangered species.
Believe it or not, there are friendships among animals. A dog plays with a cat, a monkey makes friends with a giraffe, and some dolphins even build a good relationship with lions. You may wonder if all the animals’ friendships are sincere (真诚的). Well, the answer is yes. A new study shows that the friendships among water buffaloes are truly sincere.
A team of scientists from the City University of Hong Kong studied water buffaloes on Lantau Island. This island has a large area of grasslands and wetlands. There are about 120-150 water buffaloes living there. The scientists put cameras (摄像机) at different places of the island to closely watch how the water buffaloes acted.
Later, the scientists found that the buffaloes only chose friends with similar characters and interests instead of their ages or sizes. They don’t care about the power of other buffaloes or depend on (依靠) stronger friends to protect themselves.
The study also shows there are several character types among the buffaloes. Some are careful and often watch out for the conditions (环境) around them, some are shy and try to stay away from others, while others are active and like to play around. The buffaloes with similar characters and interests often eat together, rest together, and invite each other to play and roll around on the grassland.
The scientists say beautiful friendships among water buffaloes make their life longer, healthier and happier. As humans, we can learn from them and develop warm and close friendships.
86．How does the writer start the text
A．By telling a story. B．By asking a question.
C．By giving some numbers D．By giving some examples.
87．Which of the following questions does the second paragraph answer
A．What did the scientists find out B．How did the scientists do the study
C．Why did the scientists do the study D．How many scientists went to Lantau Island
88．What are the most important for water buffaloes when they make friends
A．Their power and characters. B．Their ages and sizes.
C．Their characters and interests. D．Their sizes and interests.
89．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．It’s easy for us to make friends with water buffaloes.
B．Water buffaloes need friendships to protect themselves.
C．People with different interests don’t like staying together.
D．Good friendships make water buffaloes live better.
Humans spend a lot of time working together, sharing information, and helping each other out. “Theory of mind” is an important part of human beings. But do animals have a “theory of mind” too
Some scientists think they do. For example, chimpanzees (黑猩猩) sometimes tell their friends about danger, like a snake, if they think the other chimpanzees didn’t see it. A new experiment shows that bonobos, a kind of ape (猿), also have a “theory of mind”.
Bonobos are smart and friendly animals. They can learn to use symbols and they often solve problems by working together.
To study how bonobos think, scientists at Johns Hopkins University had an experiment with three bonobos. In the experiment, a scientist named Mr. Townrow sat across from a bonobo. Another scientist hid a grape under one of the three cups on the table. The bonobo could see where the grape was. Sometimes, Mr. Townrow could see where the grape went. Other times, he could not. Mr. Townrow looked at the cups and said, “Hmm, where is the grape ” Then he waited for the bonobos to act. The bonobos often pointed to the right cup, but they did it more quickly and more often when Mr. Townrow didn’t see where the grape was. This shows that the bonobos knew Mr. Townrow needed help.
The study wasn’t perfect. It only had three bonobos. Also, these bonobos lived with humans, so wild bonobos might act differently. But the study still shows something special. Bonobos may have a “theory of mind” like people do. They can guess what others know and help them when they need it.
90．What is “theory of mind” according to the text
A．Helping others show their ideas.
B．Helping animals solve problems.
C．Guessing what others may be thinking.
D．Remembering things better than others.
91．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the experiment
A．Its meaning and use. B．Its process and result.
C．Its good and bad sides. D．Its history and progress.
92．What may the scientists study next to show their idea is true
A．If bonobos are smarter than humans.
B．What bonobos and humans have in common.
C．How wild bonobos act in the same experiment.
D．Why humans can affect animals’ way of thinking.
93．Why did the writer write the text
A．To tell us about a new kind of animal.
B．To explain how to do an experiment on animals.
C．To show the differences between humans and animals.
D．To show that animals may have a “theory of mind” like humans.

67．词句猜测题。根据“Cantor’s study described how fishermen and dolphins give cues to each other during fishing. Where dolphins find fish, they drive them to the coast. Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast nets (撒网).”可知，海豚通过弓背的动作提示渔民撒网，“cues”指的是这种提示信号。故选B。
68．细节理解题。根据““The dolphins are really good at finding fish in the murky water and driving them to the coast,” Cantor said... Then they arch (弓着) their backs in front of the fishermen to tell them to cast nets (撒网). Fishermen will then cast the nets right away... Once the fish are caught in the nets, dolphins can move in and get some for themselves.”可知，海豚和渔民合作的顺序是：海豚在水中找到鱼（④）→ 海豚把鱼赶到岸边（⑤）→ 海豚弓背提示（①）→ 渔民撒网（②）→ 海豚获取部分鱼（③）。故选C。
69．推理判断题。根据“The study found that fishermen are 17 times more likely to catch fish by working with dolphins. At the same time, the helpful dolphins have a 13 percent higher survival rate (存活率) than other dolphins.”可知，渔民捕鱼概率提高，海豚存活率也更高，这种合作带来了双赢局面。故选C。
