A
Do you know which church (教堂) is the tallest in the world It’s the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Spain. This beautiful church was designed by a Spanish architect (建筑师) called Antoni Gaudi.
As one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, Antoni Gaudi spent all his life working on buildings. He was really good at using natural light and light made by people to create special feelings and different looks in his buildings. In the Sagrada Familia, he put windows and colored glass in a special way. Sunlight shines through them and turns into different colors, making the church a bright and quiet place. As the day passes, the light changes, and the church looks different in color all the time.
When most people think about architecture, they picture tall buildings, churches or houses with attractive decorations. But math is the quiet and important power behind every beautiful building. Golden Ratio (黄金比例) The golden ratio is a special number, about 1.618. You can get it by dividing a line into two parts. The longer part divided by the shorter part is equal to the whole line divided by the longer part. Architects often use the golden ratio because it makes buildings look nice and well-balanced. Many famous buildings use this ratio, such as the Taj Mahal in India and the Notre-Dame Cathedral in France. Symmetry (对称) From ancient amazing buildings to modern ones, symmetry is still an important rule. It makes structures look elegant, neat and balanced. Studies show that people usually find symmetrical shapes more pleasing and easier to understand. The Forbidden City in China is a great example of symmetrical beauty. Other examples include the Taj Mahal in India and the Palace of Versailles in France. Geometric Shapes (几何图形) Shapes like triangles (三角形), squares, rectangles and circles are often used in architecture. The triangle is the “strongest” shape. Even when it is pressed hard, it never changes its shape. That’s why it is often used in bridges and roofs. Squares and rectangles are also useful shapes. Their right angles make buildings strong and steady. Circles are important for domes and arches. They let wind pass through more easily. Also, stress is spread evenly over the whole circle, so it is almost as strong as a triangle.
26. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A. How Gaudi shaped light in his building. B. What causes the change of the light.
C. Why Gaudi’s building requires light. D. Whether light can influence people’s moods.
27. According to the passage, which of the following is not a perfect example of symmetrical beauty
A. B. C. D.
28. What may be the best title for the passage
A. The Value of Architecture B. The Beauty of Architecture
C. The Meaning of Architecture D. The History of Architecture
B
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel Disappointed Angry Sad You might even feel unsure, wondering why these common foods are missing. At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination (授粉). They fly around from morning till night, never stopping for a long rest. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen (花粉) with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work, about 80 percent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. Every bee in the group has a special job to do, like collecting food or caring for young bees. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is. Different dances mean different messages, which is quite amazing.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem (生态系统) of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Pollution and loss of their living places are main reasons for this. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
29. How does the writer start the passage
A. By asking scientists about bees’ role.
B. By introducing the living habits of bees.
C. By describing the scene in a supermarket.
D. By explaining the importance of bees directly.
30. What is the most important work of bees
A Making honey for humans.
B. Building honeycombs for their homes.
C. Pollinating flowers to help plants grow.
D. Communicating with other bees through dances.
31. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The interesting living habits of bees.
B. The ways to protect bees in our daily life.
C. The relationship between bees and other animals.
D. The important role of bees and the need to protect them.
32. Where can we read this passage
A. In a novel. B. In a magazine. C. In a storybook. D. In a history book.
C
Michaela Benthaus, a 33-year-old German aerospace (航空航天) engineer, made history on December 20, 2025. She boarded Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket and became the first wheelchair user to travel beyond the Kármán line. The 10-minute flight marked a big step forward for inclusive (包容性) space exploration.
Benthaus’s road to space was hard. A 2018 mountain biking accident left her paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down, confining her to a wheelchair. But it did not end her passion for space. She earned a master’s degree in aerospace engineering and worked at the European Space Agency, focusing on Mars atmosphere research and spacecraft landing technology. “Even as an able-bodied person, becoming an astronaut felt out of reach,” Benthaus said before the flight. “After my accident, I thought space was totally impossible for someone like me.”
Her dream got a breakthrough in 2024 when she met Hans Koenigsmann, a former SpaceX leader, at a drone competition in Munich. Koenigsmann helped partner with Blue Origin, a US aerospace company, which made small but key adjustments (调整): adding transfer benches, refining leg restraints (固定装置) for micro gravity safety, and using the launch pad’s elevator for boarding. This cross-border collaboration between a German engineer, a US firm and a European space organization made the historic flight possible.
During the flight, Benthaus enjoyed minutes of weightlessness, using a special strap (带条) to fix her legs and gazing at Earth’s curvature (弧线). “I didn’t want to miss a single second of the view from space,” she recalled.
This flight is more than a personal win. It proves space can welcome everyone with proper preparation. While Benthaus hopes to be a special pioneer: “I want to be the first, not the last. ” She is also raising money for spinal cord injury (脊髓损伤) research, showing that dreams have no boundaries with courage and inclusion.
33. What does the underlined word “confining” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Forcing someone to stay in a place. B. Helping someone to achieve a goal.
C. Allowing someone to make a choice. D. Encouraging someone to try new things.
34. What did Blue Origin do to help Benthaus realize her dream
A. It invited her to join the team. B. It designed a new rocket for her.
C. It made small but key adjustments. D. It provided her with a special strap.
35. Which of the following is the correct order of events
① Benthaus met Hans Koenigsmann.
② Benthaus had a mountain biking accident.
③ Benthaus flew to space aboard New Shepard.
④ Benthaus worked at the European Space Agency.
A. ②→①→④→③ B. ②→④→①→③
C. ④→②→①→③ D. ④→①→②→③
36. What can we learn from Benthaus’s experience
A. A dream is never out of reach with courage and inclusion.
B. Proper preparation is the most important thing for space travel.
C. Spinal cord injury research will be cured from space exploration.
D. The able-bodied people have the chance to achieve space dreams.
D
When we talk about spending habits, we usually think about whether we save or waste money. We seldom think about the “carbon footprint” or other harms to the environment. But recent studies tell us that our spending habits have harmed the environment a lot. These habits include buying too much, using too much wrapping (包装), and depending too much on online shopping.
First, let’s talk about buying too much. Ads for new products and frequent sales make it hard for us to refuse “good deals”. I often buy things I don’t really need, like more shampoos or makeup. Some of them even go bad before I open them! In the US, the number of people has grown by 60% since 1970, but people spend 4 times more money. This means more resources are used to make products, and more waste is produced. Unluckily, many unused things are thrown away, which makes pollution worse and fills landfills.
Using too much wrapping is another problem. I like getting beautifully wrapped gifts and I’m glad to decorate gifts for others, because it shows my care and thanks. Wrapping paper, ribbons and cards look nice, but people throw them away right after opening the gifts. Most of these materials can’t be reused. So they end up in crowded landfills and pollute water, soil and air. For example, Americans send over 2 billion Christmas cards every year. The paper used is enough to build a 61-story building! Tons of ribbons are thrown away too.
Smartphones have changed our spending habits greatly, making us depend more on online shopping. I like online shopping because it’s easy—I can buy things anytime and anywhere. But this convenience (方便) hurts the environment a lot. Online orders need more wrapping. What’s more, over 30% of online goods are sent back, which doubles the environmental cost. Every year,241 million tons of shipping boxes are made, using 3 billion trees. In 2020, shipping and returning goods caused 37% of greenhouse gas emissions (排放物).
Fast fashion is very popular among young people like me. But it uses a lot of resources: 93billion cubic meters of water every year, which can meet the needs of 5 million people. It also causes about 20% of industrial water pollution. Besides, it produces 10% of global carbon emissions and this number may rise by 50% by 2030. Cheap materials like polyester (聚酯纤维) are hard to reuse, adding more waste.
Our spending habits have made natural resources run out quickly, and produced waste and pollution that are hard to fix. So I think it’s time for us to check our spending habits and try to change. In this way, we can be more thoughtful shoppers and protect the environment better.
37. What does “carbon footprint” probably mean in Paragraph 1
A. The daily habits of saving carbon-based energy.
B. The influence of human activities on the environment.
C. A kind of footprint left by animals that produce carbon.
D. The amount of money spent on carbon-related products.
38. How much global carbon emissions will fast fashion produce in 2030
A. 10%. B. 15%. C. 50%. D. 60%.
39. Which of the following actions is friendly to the environment
A. Buy more shampoos than we need and some go bad.
B. Choose gifts with more beautiful and fashionable wrapping.
C. Use reusable cloth bags instead of plastic bags when shopping.
D. Return online goods in time if they don’t look as good as we expect.
40. What is the writer’s main reason for writing this passage
A. To explain why online shopping and fast fashion are popular.
B. To introduce different popular spending habits among young people.
C. To tell readers how to save money through changing spending habits.
D. To show that spending habits harm the environment and call for changes.

What does it mean to be human
For centuries, people thought humans were above nature, not part of it. They believed only humans could make and use tools, and only we could communicate meaningfully. This idea remained unchallenged until Jane Goodall came along.
In 1957, 23-year-old Goodall had taught herself much about animals and dreamed of working with them. Three years later, with anthropologist (人类学家) Louis Leakey’s help, she went to Africa’s Gombe forest. There, she did what no researcher had done: instead of numbering chimpanzees (黑猩猩), she named them, seeing each as unique (独特的). She watched them closely for hours daily.
Soon, Goodall made surprising discoveries. A male chimp named David Greybeard broke a grass stem (梗) to catch insects, and others also used tools—once thought a human-only skill. She found chimps had rich communication and their own personalities: some kind, some tough, many both. These made people rethink humanity and drew other scientists to study apes. “Reading her books led me to the jungle,” said expert Catherine Crockford.
But Goodall didn’t stop at research. Forests disappeared fast, and hunters killed or hunted apes for trade and research. She knew studying wasn’t enough to protect them, so she traveled the world until late in life, sharing her story to make change.
In 1991, she started Roots & Shoots. Today, this youth program runs in over 60 countries, with millions of students trying to improve the world for humans, animals and our shared environment. Goodall is gone, but her voice lives on. As our planet warms and animals face danger, her message matters more than ever.
Remember: every day, you affect this planet. Think about how you act toward people, animals and the environment. Thousands of you will make a huge difference.
66. What did people believe before Jane Goodall’s research
________________________
67. How did Jane Goodall treat each chimpanzee while studying them
