British man David Ferguson holds more than one identity. Though better known for his translations of Chinese classics and government documents, his connection with China began around two decades ago.
He first came to China in 2004 to visit his future in-laws in Jilin. Two years later, he moved to China and soon discovered a striking contrast between the reality he witnessed and the narrative presented by certain Western media. It was then that he resolved to become a journalist and share what he truly saw in person.
During his years of reporting, one of his most memorable experiences is one in Nantong, where he encountered self-made business people in the textile（纺织）industry who built international enterprises out of nothing. “In the early 1970s, one of them travelled to Romania with a backpack of pillowcases and tablecloths. Knowing little Romanian, he penciled the pronunciation of the words in Chinese pinyin so that he could communicate,” Ferguson recalled. “They make me understand why Chinese people are successful in business, and why China has a successful economy.”
In 2010, Ferguson joined the Foreign Languages Press, and has since authored several books introducing Chinese cities. According to him, China's remarkable achievements and prosperity（繁荣）over the past decades are also due to its stable social and economic system. Besides, as a senior editor, his job is to carefully compare and refine the translations of the Chinese texts, ensuring that they gain the broadest recognition in the English context.
In 2023, David Ferguson was awarded the Orchid Awards, a recognition to international friends for enhancing cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. As he stated in his acceptance speech, among the people who built the Forbidden City, there were craftsmen, and there were also those who helped them carry materials. “Translators are the wood carriers,” he said, “What we build is development, prosperity and world peace.”
24. Why did Ferguson decide to become a journalist
A. To pursue a career in China. B. To present a true image of China.
C. To introduce Chinese culture. D. To compare China and the West.
25. What factors contributed to China’s economic success, according to Ferguson
A. Chinese people’s drive and creativity. B. Chinese people’s vision and honesty.
C. Chinese people’s courage and integrity. D. Chinese people’s generosity and patience.
26. Why did Ferguson compare translators to “wood carriers”
A. They play a crucial but hidden role.
B. They take on minor responsibilities.
C. They do heavy and continuous work.
D. They support professional exchanges.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A True Story Behind Western Media
B. A Secret of China’s Rapid Development
C. AForeigner’s Passion for Academic Exchange
D. A British Man’s Devotion to Documenting China
C
Museums have long been considered as cultural storehouses that preserve and exhibit history, art and scientific discoveries. Yet, while some children frequently visit museums with their families, others-especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds-may never have the opportunity to engage with these rich cultural resources. This disparity can create gaps in cultural knowledge, academic engagement and even self-confidence.
Professor Anik Meunier at the Université du Québec à Montreal studies how museum visits can enhance student engagement in the classroom and address social inequalities. She has established the School at the Museum program with her colleagues to integrate museum education into the school curriculum（课程）for primary and secondary schools in Montreal. “Research indicates that actions aimed at improving educational success must be carried out regularly and at a pace that allows the acquisition of new attitudes, understandings or behaviours among the target population,” explains Anik. To this end, School at the Museum organises regular visits to museums throughout the year. This provides students with consistent opportunities to engage with cultural and educational resources outside the classroom.
Anik and her colleagues found that students who attended museums showed greater emotional, behavioural and cognitive engagement than before. They observed that the visits created a stronger sense of connection to the museum environment and its resources, enriching students’ cultural knowledge and expanding their vocabulary. Most importantly, after participating in School at the Museum, students who had had little prior exposure to museums displayed equal engagement to their classmates who had visited museums with family or friends.
“To make the most of the educational value, one of the most important aspects of planning a museum trip is choosing the right museum and program for students’ needs. Most museums offer age-specific educational programs for school groups,” says Anik. “A visit to a museum can relate closely to courses in many subjects, such as history, science and art, and stimulate interdisciplinary approaches.”
28. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The lack of scientific resources. B. The difference in cultural backgrounds.
C. The unequal chance to access museums. D. The uneven level of family involvement.
29. What is the goal of the School at the Museum program
A. To deepen students’ insight into education.
B. To enhance learning through museum visits.
C. To raise awareness of the value of museums.
D. To promote students’ classroom engagement.
30. What is the function of paragraph 3
A. Showing potential application of the finding.
B. Offering additional background information.
C. Giving examples to introduce the program.
D. Providing evidence to support the research.
31. What message does Anik try to convey in the last paragraph
A. Turning a museum trip into an active lesson with good planning.
B. Involving more school students in various museum programs.
C. Making school subjects more popular with young museum-goers.
D. Stimulating students’ interest in planning a suitable museum visit.
D
For years, media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations. They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner. But is it as straightforward as it appears In fact, bee numbers tell a tale of two trends.
In the United States, bee populations have encountered significant obstacles in recent decades. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), since the 1960s the number of honeybee colonies in the United States has dropped significantly from around 5.5 million to approximately 2.5 million. In contrast to the declines observed in the West, some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations. Several factors contribute to this positive trend:diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping. For instance, China -the world's largest honey producer-has significantly expanded its managed honeybee populations to meet growing global demand, which helps make up for declines in wild bee populations.
The idea of a global bee population collapse may not fully reflect the complexity of the situation. While some regions are experiencing alarming losses, others are seeing increases, demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes. Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices. Key measures include the use of health-boosting treatments to strengthen bees' immunity against pests and diseases, and the protection of diverse floral habitats to ensure a continuous and abundant food supply throughout the year. Meanwhile, countries experiencing population growth must remain alert to emerging threats to safeguard their long-term ecological progress and stability.
Bees play a vital role in global food security and biodiversity. Their future depends on our collective ability to adapt, innovate, and protect their habitats. Instead of focusing only on declines, we should also learn from and follow the success stories of growing bee populations around the world.
32. What is the author’s attitude toward media reports on bee population
A. Fully supportive. B. Cautiously balanced.
C. Highly defensive. D. Openly dismissive.
33. What has led to the growth of bee populations in some Asian countries
A. The diverse and growing number of wild bee populations.
B. The development of new technology in the beekeeping industry.
C. The favorable environment and the growing beekeeping industry.
D. The rising global demand for wild bee honey and its by-products.
34. What can be inferred about the efforts to address bee population decline
A. Current measures have limited impact.
B. Scientific creativity plays a leading role.
C. Economic growth worsens ecological problems.
D. Targeted actions help turn around negative trends
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To give a detailed report on changes in bee populations.
B. To raise a warning about the collapse of bee populations.
C. To clarify trends in bee populations and suggest solutions.
D. To outline the problems in beekeeping and analyze the causes.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 。
Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling（幼苗）is which can be really tricky. Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers-these little lifesavers aren’t just practical; they also add a special charm to your greenery.
To kick off your garden marker project, you’ll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay. Start by kneading（揉捏）a piece of clay in your hands for a few minutes-think of it as a mini workout for your fingers. _____36_____ Then, place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick.
_____37_____ You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil, or perhaps you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post.
Then give your garden markers some personality! Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression. You can stamp the names of your plants, like “basil” or “tomatoes”, to keep things organized. _____38_____
Now that your garden markers are looking great, it’s time to set them in stone. Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking. Generally, bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275°F) for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. _____39_____ Then, they’ll be ready to give your garden a stylish look!
Finally, decide on the finishing touches. _____40_____ If you’re feeling fancy, a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine. Whether you’re channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel, which is equally charming, the choice is all yours.
A. Remember to keep an eye on it.
B. Allow them to cool completely afterward.
C. Add some fun and creativity to your garden.
D. This softens the clay and makes it more workable.
E. Now comes the fun part:shaping your garden markers!
F. You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look.
G. It’s also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like “potato wonderland”.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jane had a deep affection for birds. Every morning, she scattered（抛撒）seeds in her backyard and whispered, “Good morning, my little friends!” To her, their songs sounded like cheerful laughter, and she often laughed along with them.
However, her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, didn’t share her joy. He was constantly annoyed by the birds that flew into his yard. “They’re too noisy!” he complained. “And they make such a mess in MY yard!” His sharp words made Jane feel quite uneasy, yet she refused to give up on her feathered friends. She firmly believed that every small creature deserved care.
One morning, Jane discovered a small sparrow（麻雀）shaking under the fence. One of its wings looked bent at a painful angle. Filled with worry, Jane carefully picked it up and named it Pip. She placed him in a small, warm basket in a safe corner right next to the fence.
A week passed. Pip was getting better but still unable to fly. One afternoon, while Jane was feeding Pip by the fence, Mr. Thompson shouted from his side, “You’re just asking for trouble!” Jane gently lifted Pip in her hands so Mr. Thompson could see him through the gaps in the fence. “Look, Mr. Thompson. Pip’s wing is hurt. ”Mr. Thompson cast an impatient glance at the tiny creature. For a moment, his frown（皱眉）softened. “That wing...” he said softly, almost to himself.
Just then, Jane’s mother called her from the driveway, saying they were leaving for a family visit. Jane waved a quick goodbye to Pip and hurried to the car. However, on their way home, a heavy storm broke out. Watching the trees shaking in the strong wind, Jane felt very worried about Pip, who was left all alone in the yard. The moment they pulled into the driveway, she dashed toward the backyard, calling Pip's name.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To her horror, the basket was empty.
At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip.

Good morning, everyone! Have you ever noticed how many of us rest our heads on the desks right after class Of course, we all need a break, but those short naps don’t always help. In fact, they can sometimes make us feel even more tired afterwards.
To make better use of our ten-minute breaks, here are two simple ideas. Try doing some light stretches or taking a short walk along the corridor, which can improve blood flow and boost your energy. Alternatively, you can also look out of the window or have a short chat with a friend to relax your mind and get ready for the next lesson.
Let’s use our breaks wisely and stay energized together!
参考范文
第二节 Possible Version 1:
Paragraph 1: To her horror; the basket was empty. The strong wind had turned it over. leaving nothing but a puddle of muddy water in the corner. Jane’s heart sank as she searched everywhere in the wet grass. Her clothes were soon soaked by the heavy rain. “Pip! Where are you ” she cried out, her voice trembling with fear. She was afraid that the small, helpless bird had been washed away by the storm. Tears mixed with raindrops on her face, and she felt very sorry for leaving him alone in the yard.
Paragraph 2: At this moment. Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He held the tiny bird gently in his hands, his usual stern expression replaced by softness. “I saw the storm coming and took him in,” he explained quietly. Jane rushed over, relief washing over her as she took Pip, who was safe but a little shaken. For the first time, she saw a faint smile on Mr. Thompson’s face, and the gap between them seemed to heal, just like Pip’s wing.
第二节 Possible Version 2:
Paragraph 1: To her horror;the basket was empty. The fierce wind had overturned the little basket, leaving it upside down in a muddy puddle. Jane froze mid-step, her heart dropping like a stone. Gone. Pip was gone. Frantically, she scrambled through the rain-soaked yard, her hands trembling as she pawed through the wet bushes and overturned flowerpots. “Pip! Please!” she screamed, her voice raw against the howling wind. The rain lashed at her face, mixing with tears of despair. It’s all my fault. I shouldn't have left him, she thought, her mind racing with terrifying images of the tiny bird being swept away. Just as hope flickered and died, a faint, familiar chirp pierced through the storm from the other side of the fence.
Paragraph 2: At this moment, Mr. Thompson appeared with Pip. He stood by the fence, his clothes soaked and his hair plastered to his forehead. In his rough hands, he held a small bundle wrapped in a stained kitchen towel. “Took you long enough,” he grumbled, his voice rough but lacking its usual bite. Jane stared, speechless, as he carefully unwrapped the corner to reveal the shivering sparrow. “Found the basket in my yard. Wind blew it over,” he muttered, avoiding her eyes and shifting his weight awkwardly. “Didn’t want the noise of you crying all night, so I brought it in.” As Jane gently took the warm bundle, she saw it—his usual frown had softened, and a flicker of something warm danced in his eyes. The storm was fading, and though the fence still stood between them, the wall that once separated their hearts had finally come down.

W: Hi, I’m trying to sign up for a psychology class.
M: Well, currently we have two classes open. One is on Tuesday afternoon and the other Friday morning.
W: Thank you. I have swimming sessions in the afternoons, so I guess I’ll take the one on Fridays.
Text 2
M: Mom, I’m going to cycle around Chao Hu lake this Saturday.
W: Wow, that sounds like quite a challenge. Are you going by yourself
M: No, with friends from the school bike club. We’ll raise money during the trip for children with heart disease.
Text 3
W: Oh no, I’ve just remembered my parents are coming over for dinner tonight. We don’t have anything to cook with. What am I going to do
M: Relax, hand me the car key, you start cleaning and I’ll be back with what we need from the supermarket.
Text 4
M: The car broke down again. It’s still in the shop. I think it might finally be time to seriously consider electric like we’ve talked about.
W: Yes, it would be nice to start fresh with a cleaner, quieter ride in a new city. Plus, it’s crazy how much gas prices have gone up recently.
M: Exactly. I’ll look up some local dealers and go test drive one this weekend.
Text 5
W: The documentary about Antarctica was shocking.
M: It was. The ice there is melting so fast, much faster than before.
W: Yeah, it’s alarming. We really need more people to understand the impact. Let’s share the link so more people can see the video.
Text 6
W: Good morning Mr. Davis. I’m calling to see how Max has been doing in class recently.
M: Good morning Mrs. Taylor. Overall, he’s doing well. He gets along with others and works hard, but he seems a bit unsure about some math topics.
W: We haven’t noticed much at home. Is it something to worry about
M: It’s no big deal, but a little extra support would help.
W: What would you suggest we do first
M: For now, I’d suggest he talk to the math teacher during lunch this week.
Text 7
M: Hi Lisa, back from the gym
W: Oh, Bob, hi! Yeah, I just finished a cross-fit class.
M: Cross fit. Wow, that sounds intense. How often do you work out
W: About an hour a day only on weekdays. You should join me sometime.
M: Maybe I should. By the way, did you hear that our kids school will have PE every day
W: Yes, I heard about it yesterday when I picked Bella up from school. She was really excited.
M: I’m not surprised. Kids spend a lot of time in class these days, which can make it harder for them to find time for physical activities. David loves running, but he doesn’t always have the opportunity to practice at school.
W: Exactly. The school should offer more PE choices like badminton, martial arts or even dance. Not every child enjoys basketball or football.
Text 8
M: Akane, your skirt looks nice. Did you just get it
W: Yeah, thanks. I bought it from an online fast fashion store last week. I love the color, but the fabric feels really thin. I don’t think it will last long anyway. Anyway, it was only 13 dollars.
M: Wow, that’s cheap. And probably not made to last.
W: Exactly. I used to keep clothes for years, but now I’m replacing things every couple of months.
M: When clothes are that affordable. It’s easy not to treat them carefully.
W: True, we don’t value them as much because they’re cheap and easy to replace.
M: But the worst part is most of these clothes nowadays end up in landfills within a year, wasting a lot of resources.
W: That’s why I’m thinking of making a change, buying fewer but better quality clothes for our wallet and the planet.
Text 9
M: Monica, have you ever lived on a farm
W: Not really, but I used to visit family friends farms when I was a kid.
M: Did you enjoy it
W: Yeah, quite a lot. I loved riding horses and wandering through the fields.
M: Sounds great. I spent every summer on my grandfather's farm when I was a kid. I collected eggs, fed the chickens and brushed the horses. Most importantly, farm life taught me to appreciate every bite of food.
W: I get that, but farm work never stops. It’s an endless cycle of planting, harvesting and maintaining the land almost without a break. I guess I’ve gotten used to city life and working on computers. Could you imagine moving back to a farm
M: Maybe not full time, but there’s something peaceful about farm life. How about taking our kids to a farm on weekends or during the holidays They could enjoy the fresh air and learn where food comes from.
W: That’s a great idea. It’s a good way for them to experience it, even if we can’t live that life ourselves.

M: First of all, thank you so much for your trust and support. We know how important it is to you that your children stay connected with their roots. That is exactly what our program aims to do, to create more opportunities for overseas Chinese youth to explore and understand their cultural heritage. We designed this journey to turn the stories you share at home into real life experiences. From walking through the Forbidden City to standing on the Great Wall, we want your children to see Chinese culture with their own eyes. Not just hear about it in books or on maps, we also truly appreciate the efforts you make at home, whether it’s encouraging your children to learn the erhu or yang qin, traditional Chinese musical instruments who are supporting their interest in traditional Chinese painting. This program works alongside families to help bring that learning to life. By the end of the journey, we hope your children will not only see more, but also feel more connected to who they are and where they come from. Thank you again for letting us walk this journey with your families as we pass these traditions on to the next generation.
