Dear Alice,
I’m so excited to hear you’re coming to China this summer! I’d like to share some suggestions on transportation and food to make your trip better.
First of all, I recommend taking high-speed rail for intercity travel. It’s fast, comfortable and punctual, helping you save time on long journeys. Besides, food here is a must-try. Beijing roast duck with crispy skin and Sichuan hot pot full of flavors are popular choices. They can show you the diversity of Chinese cuisine.
Hope you enjoy your stay in China. Feel free to ask me if you need more information.
Yours,
Li Hua

The day before the fair, they stayed late in the classroom to put the final touches on their project. Li Wei added glittering gold edges to the paper-cut backdrop, on which a dragon and peacocks were vividly described. Ravi polished the short film, carefully blending a Chinese flute melody with the gentle strum of an Indian guitar. As they worked, the quiet rhythm of their collaboration enveloped the room. With a profound sense of accomplishment welling up over them both, they wrapped it up, the project shining with the charm of both cultures. Tired but excited, they headed home, eager for the next day.
When they stepped onto the stage, the hall fell silent. Nervousness filled their minds, Li Wei held up the stunning backdrop, and Ravi hit the play button. The screen lit up with warm festival scenes that showed the joy of both festivals. They took turns explaining the shared values of family and hope behind them. Li Wei spoke about the symbolism of reunion in the Spring Festival, his voice steady and clear. Ravi followed, describing how Diwali’s lights signified the victory of hope over darkness. When they finished, thunderous applause erupted. A teacher praised their work, and Li Wei and Ravi exchanged a smile, feeling their bond grow stronger than ever.

M: Pretty good overall. Well, there’s one thing I want to talk to you about. I started a work-study program at an accounting firm, but I’ve had a sudden change of heart. I’d rather not work with numbers. Instead, I want to switch to a creative field, like literature.
W: That’s a big change! They are like two completely different worlds.
M: Do you think it’s strange to change majors
W: Oh, I changed my major when I was your age, too. I know you’ll do well in any field. The only thing I’m worried about is the job opportunities in creative areas. Follow your heart, but don’t ignore future job options. Please keep this in mind while choosing a major.

However, we do have an opening for a host. You’ll greet and guide guests to their tables, ensuring they have a pleasant start to their meal. Are you open to that
M: Thanks for calling. I was mainly looking for something serving tables. I used to bring food and drinks to the customers.
W: I understand. But being a host can be a great experience, too. It’s a fantastic way to develop your communication skills and get a full picture of how the restaurant operates. You’ll have a similar salary, and it’s a bit more relaxed.
M: That sounds interesting. But I’m not sure about working alone at the front of the restaurant. I’m a bit nervous about handling everything by myself, especially during busy hours.
W: You won’t be alone. There’s always at least one more host on a shift with you, so you’ll have support and it won’t feel difficult.
M: I’m interested in the host position, then.
W: Excellent! We’ll just need to schedule one more appointment to chat with the boss and the shift manager. Then, you’ll be able to start your training.
M: Sure, that sounds good. Thank you for considering me for the position.
Text 10青少年睡眠问题
W: Good morning, everyone. It’s time for our weekly health class. How many of you feel tired all the time Raise your hands, please. Wow, there are a lot of hands! Doctors recommend that teens get at least 8-10 hours of sleep each night. However, in practice, many teens struggle to make it. This is often due to a conflict between nature and modern life. During our teenage years, our body clocks tend to move forward. This natural change makes us want to go to sleep and wake up much later. However, as society usually demands we get up early, the key is finding a way to fall asleep earlier. Later on in the lesson, we’ll be talking about how stress and screen addiction can also impact our sleep. But first, we’re going to study the 10-3-2-1 sleep rule. This means that ten hours before bed, you stop drinking tea, coffee, and other energy drinks. Your last meal of the day should be at least three hours before bed. Homework and other work should be completed at least two hours before bed. One hour before bed, you shut off all screens. These tips will help ready your body for sleep, and help you drop off to sleep much more quickly.2026届辽宁省沈阳市二模试卷

Marty Bryce, a child of Irish immigrants (移民), was the first person in his family to graduate from university. Bryce, who is now 55 and lives in Philadelphia, became a lawyer representing large financial institutions. After 33 years, however, Bryce grew frustrated with what he was doing. His cases involved endless and seemingly pointless fighting with a focus just about money. “I often felt like I was wasting my time,” he says.
Thinking about what he might do next, he recalled particularly enjoying those occasions when he was a guest lecturer at law schools and teaching younger students. He thought he could have a greater impact at a high school level than he would at a college level. He stopped practicing law in September 2025 and started teaching at a high school that same month.
His students have been welcoming and he loves their enthusiasm and their desire to learn. Many students are curious about the law and ask how they can join the profession. What impresses him most is how open-minded his students have been. They’ve been far more willing to consider opposing points of view than many adults. Seeing how they develop or challenge an issue has been exciting.
Provided that he remains in good health Bryce expects to work in this field until he is 70. While he hasn’t discovered the fountain of youth, being around students makes him feel years younger. Dealing with teenagers can be challenging at times, but he’ll take them over a bunch of lawyers and judges any day. Like Bryce himself, some of his students are children of immigrants and have the potential to enter a university. He is excited to be able to share the idea with them that a child of immigrants can have a career and succeed.
24. Why did Bryce give up his career in law
A. He found no challenge in his job.
B. He got a better job offer from a school.
C. He faced fierce competitions in law.
D. He was annoyed at money-centered fights.
25. What made Bryce choose to teach at a high school
A. A desire for a stronger influence.
B. The flexibility in working hours.
C. A former experience as a guest host.
D. The failure of handling legal cases.
26. What is the strongest impression Bryce’s students made on him
A. Curiosity about law. B. Enthusiasm about learning.
C. Openness to different views. D. Ambition to become lawyers.
27. What can be inferred about Bryce
A. His family opposes his change. B. He aims to inspire students.
C. Dealing with his students is easy. D. He intends to teach immigrants.
C
An international team of physicists is making remarkable progress in understanding how black holes attract surrounding material and release enormous amounts of energy into space. Using a unique balloon-borne telescope called XL-Calibur, scientists recently observed CygnusX-1, a stellar-mass black hole located approximately 7, 000 light- years away in our galaxy. This system consists of a black hole orbiting a massive blue super- giant star, with the black hole’s powerful gravity steadily pulling material from its companion.
XL-Calibur specializes in measuring the polarization (偏振) of X-ray light, a property that describes the specific direction of light waves as they travel through space. “Polarization is particularly useful for learning about the processes occurring around black holes when direct imaging isn’t possible from Earth,” explained Ephraim Gau, a graduate student researcher involved in the project. By analyzing how light becomes polarized, researchers can obtain crucial information about the geometry and behavior of the superheated gas and debris spinning around black holes at nearly light speed.
The team’s latest findings, published in The Astrophysical Journal, represent the most accurate measurement to date of hard X- ray polarization from Cygnus X-1. These results were gathered during XL-Calibur’s successful July 2024 balloon flight from Sweden to Canada, which also collected valuable data from the Crab pulsar, one of the brightest X- ray sources in the sky. The mission established several technical milestones, demonstrating the telescope’s design and capabilities.
Looking ahead, researchers plan to launch XL-Calibur again from Antarctica in 2027 to study additional black holes and neutron stars. “Combined with data from NASA satellites such as IXPE, we may soon have sufficient information to solve longstanding questions about black hole physics within the next few years,” said Henri c Krawczynski, the project’s primary investigator. This ambitious research program represents a significant step toward comprehending how matter behaves under the most extreme gravitational conditions in the universe.
The XL-Calibur collaboration brings together institutions from the United States, Japan, and Sweden, including Washington University, the University of New Hampshire, Osaka University, and KTH Royal Institute of Technology, supported by NASA funding and additional research organizations.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To explain how black holes form. B. To introduce a research project.
C. To describe a new research tool. D. To compare different telescopes.
29. Polarization helps scientists understand __________.
A. the age of the black hole B. the weight of the black hole
C. the distance of the black hole D. the material around the black hole
30. What is the team’s future plan
A. To launch a larger telescope. B. To analyze data from the Crab pulsar.
C. To conduct flights from Sweden again. D. To observe more black holes and stars.
31. What is key to solving black hole questions
A. The 2024 balloon flight’s success. B. Advanced gravitational wave detectors.
C. Data from different telescopes and missions. D. Accurate X-ray polarization measurements.
D
Erik Lindebjerg, Global Plastics Policy Lead at the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) , has made an urgent call for more action to fight plastic pollution. He warned that the too much production and use of plastic is filling rivers, oceans, and land environments, killing many kinds of wild animals and making the food, air, and water dirty— with the crisis only worsening by the year.
His request comes ahead of important United Nations (UN) talks to finish a global plastic pollution treaty (条约) , a process Lindebjerg thinks very important for solving one of the fastest-accelerating environmental problems of our time. UN statistics show a bad situation: Over 400 million tonnes of plastic are produced annually, half of which is designed for one-time use. Surprisingly, less than 10% of this plastic is recycled, while about 19 million-23 million tonnes end up in lakes, rivers, and seas.
The coming Paris meeting represents the last round of talks before writing the legal content of the international treaty that all countries must follow. “This is the time governments must bring ambition, ready to make clear concrete global rules,” Lindebjerg stressed. Key details— including ways to make sure the treaty is followed to help developing nations— must be finished to ensure the treaty is effective and fair.
The WWF is calling for rules: stopping or rapidly reducing high-risk plastics, increasing reuse systems, and putting secure recycling first. A strong support system, with financial support and technical cooperation, is also necessary for carrying out the treaty, Lindebjerg added. He spoke highly of China’s efforts, mentioning the “Beautiful China Initiative” and strengthened efforts to protect biodiversity as useful national steps. As the Paris talks near, the global community is waiting for a strong agreement to change the situation of plastic pollution.
32. What is Eirik Lindebjerg’s main concern about plastic pollution
A. It isn’t paid enough attention to. B. It is out of control to some extent.
C. It is more terrible than expected. D. It affects wild animals’ habitats.
33. Why does the author mention the UN statistics
A. To stress plastic’s overuse. B. To praise plastic’s economic value.
C. To blame poor recycling systems. D. To prove the problem’s seriousness.
34. What can be concluded about the Paris meeting
A. It sets country targets. B. It has ended all discussions.
C. It mainly provides money. D. It is vital for a global legal treaty.
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. China’s complete success. B. Solutions and support needed.
C. Types of dangerous plastic. D. Arguments over money assistance.

The ceramic elephant felt cool and smooth in Li Wei’s palm. Its complex patterns, painted in vibrant blues and yellows, were unlike any artwork from his Jiangxi hometown. It was a gift from his new classmate, Ravi, whose family had just moved from India. “In my culture, the elephant symbolizes good luck and friendship,” Ravi explained with a shy smile. Li Wei was deeply touched but also felt nervous about the upcoming school International Culture Fair. He and Ravi were paired to create a presentation comparing China’s Spring Festival with India’s Diwali.
Their first meeting at Li Wei’s house started with awkward silence. Ravi pointed to a paper cutting of the Chinese character ‘福’ (Fu) on the window. “Does it mean… happiness ” he asked hesitantly. Li Wei nodded, surprised by Ravi’s interest, and showed him how to make a simple paper cut. In return, Ravi played a video of Diwali celebrations — cities lit by countless clay lamps. “It’s like your Lantern Festival, but different,” Ravi said, his eyes shining. Li Wei realized Diwali’s theme of light overcoming darkness agreed with the Spring Festival’s theme of welcoming a hopeful new year.
They spent the afternoon exchanging stories. Li Wei talked about the reunion dinner and red envelopes. Ravi explained the legends behind Diwali and sharing sweets with neighbors. They discovered surprising parallels: both festivals were about family, hope, and the triumph of good. The initial awkwardness melted away, replaced by excitement. They decided to combine their skills: Li Wei would create a large paper-cut backdrop blending a Chinese dragon and Indian peacocks under lanterns and clay lamps. Ravi would work on a short film weaving their personal stories with festival visuals. As they brainstormed, the setting sun cast a warm glow over the scattered craft materials. They had found a common language through a shared appreciation for the stories that shaped them.注意：
