It was a sunny Saturday morning. Tom, a 17-year-old high school student, was excited about his plan for the day. He was going to meet his friends at the local park to play basketball. As he was getting ready, his mother reminded him to take his jacket as it might get cold later. But Tom, thinking it would stay warm, ignored her advice and rushed out of the house.
When he arrived at the park, his friends were already there. They started playing basketball immediately. The game was intense and everyone was having a great time. However, after a couple of hours, dark clouds began to gather and the wind picked up. Soon, it started to rain heavily. Tom and his friends quickly ran to the nearby shelter, but they were already soaked.
Tom regretted not listening to his mother. He was shivering with cold and his teeth were chattering. His friends tried to warm him up, but it didn’t seem to help much. Just then, Tom’s mother showed up with a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate. She had seen the change in the weather and guessed that the boys might be in trouble. Tom felt both embarrassed and grateful. He realized that sometimes parents’ advice, even if it seems unnecessary at first, can be very valuable.

The National Health Commission recently announced that starting Sept 8, families can apply for the nationwide childcare subsidy (津贴), either online via Alipay, WeChat or local government service platforms, or in person at township offices where their child is registered. The subsidy program, aimed at encouraging childbirth, grants families 3,600 yuan ($503) a year for each child below three, benefiting more than 28 million households nationwide.
Ten years ago, China eased its strict family planning policy. Then, in 2021, the government announced that all couples could have three children. The next year, China recorded its first negative population growth. What also makes the situation difficult to deal with is the fast-rising aging population. This fact has pushed governments to take measures to encourage childbirth. Although some local policies appear more encouraging, this first nationwide program to encourage childbirth will be remembered as a very important turning point.
On the community square, some elderly women complained that the amount of child subsidy is too small. Some said the 300-yuan-a-month subsidy is hardly enough to pay for a tin of imported infant formula(配方奶). According to some online comments, the monthly subsidy on average covers about 10 percent of the expenditure on a child in urban areas. In rural areas, where imported infant formula and disposable nappies (尿布) are not yet musts and living costs are lower, the subsidy can be a bigger help. But whether it will lead to a baby boom in rural areas remains to be seen.
Compared with many other countries where childcare subsidies can be as high as 2,000 yuan a month, China's subsidy may appear small. The experience of other countries shows that favorable government policies alone can't increase the total birth rate much. At most, the policy can help slow down the drop in the birth rate. Yet it's a good start. And hopefully, it will be raised to a level that would encourage young couples to have two or three children. Other policies include providing longer parental leave, improving childcare services and offering favorable housing policies.
8. How can families apply for the childcare subsidy according to the first paragraph
A. Only through Alipay.
B. Only at township offices in person.
C. Either online or in person at specific offices.
D. Only on local government service platforms.
9. When did China first experience negative population growth based on the passage
A. Ten years ago when the two-child policy was introduced.
B. In 2021 when the three-child policy was announced.
C. In 2022.
D. When the aging population started rising rapidly.
10. What can we INFER from the third paragraph about the childcare subsidy
A. It is highly praised by everyone in urban areas.
B. It is more likely to cover a larger part of childcare costs in rural areas.
C. It has already caused a baby boom in rural China.
D. It is enough to buy several tins of imported infant formula.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Challenges of an Aging Population in China.
B. China's New Childcare Subsidy: A Step to Encourage Births.
C. Comparing Childcare Policies: China and the World.
D. High Cost of Raising Children in Urban and Rural China.
D
With an AI tool, researchers study penguin photos taken by tourists and scientists to track Adélie penguins in Antarctica. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and the number of photos we could collect for studying will be out of our expectation,” says Thomas Brown, a scientist from an international research team.
With guidance from an expert, the AI tool is able to get a handle on and draw out the penguin groups in pared with humans, the AI finds and marks Adélie penguins in these photos more quickly, taking only 5 to 10 seconds per image.
The team created a 3D map of the Antarctica to know exactly where the photos were taken. By identifying the details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer and the habitats of the Adélie penguin groups within the 3D map to get a bird’s eye view. This allows researchers to track how Adélie penguin groups change in location and population size over time. Such tracking is important because it can tell the climate changes. That is what researchers want to know. Similarly, the AI tool can also use historical photos to track natural signs such as glacier (冰川) changes that develop very slowly and may only be obvious by looking across many years.
Opinions about AI tools are different among researchers. Some worry that using tourist photos for research may encourage more people to visit Antarctica, which might lead to more tourist activities and could destroy the ecosystem in the end. However, for Thomas, he believes studying tourist photos with the AI tool could be useful, especially as many penguin groups have not been noticed by the research community. “Since Antarctica is hard to study twenty-four-seven,” says Thomas, “this method is helpful for keeping an eye on penguin groups that might only get studied once in a while.”
12. Why do the research team use an AI tool in their study
A. To collect the photos from tourists. B. To track the number of Adélie penguins.
C. To study the photos taken by tourists. D. To identify the 3D map of Antarctica.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined “get a handle on” in Paragraph 2
A. Identify. B. Ignore.
C. Explore. D. Revise.
14. What do researchers want to know by tracking Adélie penguins
A. Glacier sizes. B. Location marks.
C. Climate changes. D. Penguin numbers.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. 3D map helps locate penguin groups. B. Adélie penguins help develop AI tools.
C. Penguins show signs of climate change. D. Researchers use AI to track penguin groups.

The National Health Commission recently announced that starting Sept 8, families can apply for the nationwide childcare subsidy (津贴), either online via Alipay, WeChat or local government service platforms, or in person at township offices where their child is registered. The subsidy program, aimed at encouraging childbirth, grants families 3,600 yuan ($503) a year for each child below three, benefiting more than 28 million households nationwide.
Ten years ago, China eased its strict family planning policy. Then, in 2021, the government announced that all couples could have three children. The next year, China recorded its first negative population growth. What also makes the situation difficult to deal with is the fast-rising aging population. This fact has pushed governments to take measures to encourage childbirth. Although some local policies appear more encouraging, this first nationwide program to encourage childbirth will be remembered as a very important turning point.
On the community square, some elderly women complained that the amount of child subsidy is too small. Some said the 300-yuan-a-month subsidy is hardly enough to pay for a tin of imported infant formula(配方奶). According to some online comments, the monthly subsidy on average covers about 10 percent of the expenditure on a child in urban areas. In rural areas, where imported infant formula and disposable nappies (尿布) are not yet musts and living costs are lower, the subsidy can be a bigger help. But whether it will lead to a baby boom in rural areas remains to be seen.
Compared with many other countries where childcare subsidies can be as high as 2,000 yuan a month, China's subsidy may appear small. The experience of other countries shows that favorable government policies alone can't increase the total birth rate much. At most, the policy can help slow down the drop in the birth rate. Yet it's a good start. And hopefully, it will be raised to a level that would encourage young couples to have two or three children. Other policies include providing longer parental leave, improving childcare services and offering favorable housing policies.
8. How can families apply for the childcare subsidy according to the first paragraph
A. Only through Alipay.
B. Only at township offices in person.
C. Either online or in person at specific offices.
D. Only on local government service platforms.
9. When did China first experience negative population growth based on the passage
A. Ten years ago when the two-child policy was introduced.
B. In 2021 when the three-child policy was announced.
C. In 2022.
D. When the aging population started rising rapidly.
10. What can we INFER from the third paragraph about the childcare subsidy
A. It is highly praised by everyone in urban areas.
B. It is more likely to cover a larger part of childcare costs in rural areas.
C. It has already caused a baby boom in rural China.
D. It is enough to buy several tins of imported infant formula.
11. What is the best title for the passage
A. The Challenges of an Aging Population in China.
B. China's New Childcare Subsidy: A Step to Encourage Births.
C. Comparing Childcare Policies: China and the World.
D. High Cost of Raising Children in Urban and Rural China.

With an AI tool, researchers study penguin photos taken by tourists and scientists to track Adélie penguins in Antarctica. “Right now, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and the number of photos we could collect for studying will be out of our expectation,” says Thomas Brown, a scientist from an international research team.
With guidance from an expert, the AI tool is able to get a handle on and draw out the penguin groups in pared with humans, the AI finds and marks Adélie penguins in these photos more quickly, taking only 5 to 10 seconds per image.
The team created a 3D map of the Antarctica to know exactly where the photos were taken. By identifying the details in the tourist pictures, the researchers could place the photographer and the habitats of the Adélie penguin groups within the 3D map to get a bird’s eye view. This allows researchers to track how Adélie penguin groups change in location and population size over time. Such tracking is important because it can tell the climate changes. That is what researchers want to know. Similarly, the AI tool can also use historical photos to track natural signs such as glacier (冰川) changes that develop very slowly and may only be obvious by looking across many years.
Opinions about AI tools are different among researchers. Some worry that using tourist photos for research may encourage more people to visit Antarctica, which might lead to more tourist activities and could destroy the ecosystem in the end. However, for Thomas, he believes studying tourist photos with the AI tool could be useful, especially as many penguin groups have not been noticed by the research community. “Since Antarctica is hard to study twenty-four-seven,” says Thomas, “this method is helpful for keeping an eye on penguin groups that might only get studied once in a while.”
12. Why do the research team use an AI tool in their study
A. To collect the photos from tourists. B. To track the number of Adélie penguins.
C. To study the photos taken by tourists. D. To identify the 3D map of Antarctica.
13. Which of the following can replace the underlined “get a handle on” in Paragraph 2
A. Identify. B. Ignore.
C. Explore. D. Revise.
14. What do researchers want to know by tracking Adélie penguins
A. Glacier sizes. B. Location marks.
C. Climate changes. D. Penguin numbers.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. 3D map helps locate penguin groups. B. Adélie penguins help develop AI tools.
C. Penguins show signs of climate change. D. Researchers use AI to track penguin groups.

Mary had always been a lover of tales. Her imagination was rich, and she often found herself making up stories in her head. Yet, she never dared to share them with anyone, confined (受限) by her shy nature and a fear of public speaking. Life passed her by in a routine that left little room for self-expression, and her stories remained locked within the walls of her mind.
One day, an old friend invited Mary to attend a local storytelling workshop. Hesitantly, she agreed, hoping to find a way to break free from her shell. As she entered the place, she felt a mix of expectation and fear. What if she stumbled(磕绊) over her words What if people laughed at her Despite her anxiety, Mary took her seat among the other participants, each there for their own reason—some seeking a new hobby, others looking for personal growth.
The workshop facilitator(主持人), a charming woman named Evelyn, greeted them warmly. She spoke of the power of stories and the beauty of sharing one’s voice. As the hours went by, Mary learned techniques to build suspense(悬念), create lifelike characters, and tell a fascinating story. The other participants listened carefully, offering ideas and encouragement. For the first time in a long while, Mary felt seen and heard.
As the day drew to a close, Evelyn announced an upcoming storytelling competition. It would be held in a few weeks at, a local bookstore. To Mary’s surprise, she found herself volunteering to participate. The thought of standing onstage frightened her, but something within her longed for the challenge.

The big day came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】From that Day on, Mary practiced day and night. She rehearsed her stories in front of the mirror, experimenting with different tones and gestures to bring her characters to life. Sometimes, she recorded herself and listened back. The more she practiced, the more she believed in herself, and the less she feared the upcoming competition. Her newfound confidence was evident to everyone around her, and her peers from the workshop, who had become a supportive circle of friends, cheered her on.
The big day came. Mary stepped on to the stage of the local bookstore and the sea of faces turned towards her expectantly. Taking a deep breath, she began to weave her tale, her voice at first hesitant but quickly gaining strength. As she immersed herself in the world of her story, the audience followed, their laughter echoing through the room, giving her the praise she had once only dreamed of. By the time she finished, the applause was thunderous, and Mary knew that not only had she overcome her fears, but she had also captured the hearts of everyone present.
