As kids, my friends and I spent a lot of time out in the woods. “The woods” was our part-time address, destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods,” with a tone of airy acceptance. It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk”. For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring. Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though seemed to have less system than the historic kind — something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound.
Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly — tall beeches easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us have reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期) . In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
4. The author and his friends were often out in the woods to ________.
A. spend their free time B. play golf and other sports
C. avoid doing their schoolwork D. keep away from their parents
5. What can we infer from Paragraph 2
A. The activities in the woods were well planned.
B. Human history is not the result of exploration.
C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
6. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. calm B. doubtful C. serious D. positive
7. How does the author feel about his childhood
A. Happy but short. B. Lonely but memorable. C. Boring and meaningless. D. Long and unforgettable.
C
Have you ever seen an animal video online that made you stop and wonder Videos showing a wolf taking care of a rabbit, or a lion walking calmly through a small town are now spreading widely. This is possible because of AI technology. However, scientists warn such popular videos may hurt real wildlife protection and spread wrong ideas about nature.
A study in Conservation Biology points out that AI-generated (AI生成的) animal videos create an untrue world, leading to wrong ideas about animal behavior and broadening the gap between people and nature. Co-author José Guerrero-Casado stresses the danger of false information. For example, videos showing birds killing “bad” snakes might make people less willing to protect snakes, and create false ideas about animals that are already in danger.
The effect on children is especially worrying. These videos can give them wrong ideas about how people and animals really get along. When children discover that real-world animals do not act as they do in these made-up videos, it can have the opposite result, finally making them feel less connected to nature. This risk grows as young people increasingly turn to social media for information.
So, how can one recognize these videos Experts suggest looking for a few signs: unnatural animal movements that appear too smooth or seem impossible in real life; light and shadows that do not look quite right; and small details like fur or feathers that appear unclear or repeat in an unusual way.
To deal with these risks, the research team suggests putting more effort into education, like teaching media literacy (素养) in schools. As another co-author Francisco Sánchez says, the goal is to make sure “children learn early that there are no lions living here.” While they think this is important, the researchers also say that school lessons alone cannot stop the spread of false information made by AI. This leads to an important question about who else in society needs to help solve this problem, if school education is not enough.
8. How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph
A. By giving examples. B. By making a comparison.
C. By quoting an expert. D. By sharing an experience.
9. What can be inferred about AI-generated animal videos
A. They make children love animals less.
B. They mainly focus on species in danger.
C. They may make animals seem dangerous.
D. They create a false understanding of nature.
10. What is the author’s attitude towards AI-generated animal videos
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.
11. What will the author most probably discuss next
A. The media literacy lessons. B. The duties of social media.
C. The popularity of such videos. D. The threats to wildlife protection.
D
Every morning when the alarm goes off, many people face a hard choice: to snooze (打盹) or not to snooze If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science.
The nine-minute snooze period is not unique to the iPhone. In the mid-20th century, when mechanical alarm clocks were the main type on the market, a leading producer introduced a snooze alarm. However, the standard parts of mechanical clocks made it hard to set a double-digit (两位数的) snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit, to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s structure. Apple might have taken the nine-minute snooze to honor this early invention.
From a physiological point of view, a nine-minute period is practical. Our bodies start to fall into the second stage of a sleep cycle about 10 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, a snooze period of nine minutes allows for less sudden awakening as it helps avoid a deeper stage of sleep. This timing can also reduce sleepiness and make it slightly easier to wake up when the alarm rings again.
The debate over whether snoozing is helpful or harmful continues among sleep experts. Some research suggests that snoozing provides enough time for the body and brain to shift gradually from sleep to wakefulness. On the other hand, other studies argue that while hitting the snooze button might give you a brief feeling of extra rest, it breaks your sleep and makes you more tired than if you wake up with the first alarm. Continuous, undisturbed sleep is generally better for mental abilities and overall health. Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button or embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm.
12. Why was the nine-minute snooze used in mechanical alarm clocks
A. To show respect to an early design.
B. To follow the trend of other clock producers.
C. To match the principles of human sleep science.
D. To avoid the change of the clock’s inner structure.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Different stages of our sleep cycle.
B. Harmful effects of sudden awakening.
C. Scientific support for the snooze timing.
D. Useful methods to wake up more easily.
14. What does the author suggest at the end of the text
A. Keeping hitting the snooze button to get extra rest.
B. Making a choice by considering your own sleep habits.
C. Ignoring the snoozing effect and getting up immediately.
D. Considering both positive and negative effects of snoozing.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Why Is the Snooze Alarm Important B. Nine-Minute Snooze: Extra Rest
C. How Does Snoozing Affect Sleep Quality D. The Snooze Button: Smart Design

The Secret of Flowers
Anna worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. This was how they made their living. Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers.
The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row
Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses were too expensive for her to start.
One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned.
“I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled.
Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs. Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now, she had a chance for the festival.
Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully.

【答案】Dear Student Union,
I am Li Lei, a Senior One student from Mingqi School. I am writing to apply to set up a football club in our school.
Football is my favourite sport and it is popular among many students. It can not only build up our physical strength but also help us develop team spirit and communication skills. Besides, after-class activities will be more colourful if we have regular training and matches. A football club can bring us more fun and help us make more friends with the same interest.
I would appreciate it if you could consider my application carefully.
Yours sincerely,
Li Lei

The Secret of Flowers
Anna worked with her mother in their vegetable garden every day. This was how they made their living. Anna helped her mother tend the garden, so the vegetables would be healthy and ready for the market. Anna often pretended the plants she tended were beautiful roses, like Mrs. Brown’s prize flowers.
The only person in the village who made money selling flowers was Mrs. Brown. She grew roses and sold them to flower shops in the city. Every year she joined the City Rose Festival. People thought that Mrs. Brown used magic to grow her roses. How else could she win first prize twenty years in a row
Anna loved to tend flowers. Moreover, she often dreamed about growing her own roses and winning first prize in the festival. With the prize money, she would also be able to lighten the burden at home. However, roses were too expensive for her to start.
One day, Anna visited Mrs. Brown to see her flowers. Mrs. Brown was whispering to her roses when she arrived. “Spying on me again!” Mrs. Brown frowned.
“I only came to see your flowers, Mrs. Brown.” Anna took a deep breath. “I wish I could grow beautiful roses and win a prize at the festival like you.”
“I have experience passed down from generations.” Mrs. Brown laughed. “Stick to vegetables, child. Leave flowers to those who know the secret of flowers.”
Mrs. Brown returned to her gardening, ignoring the sad look on Anna’s face. Then she pulled up a dried-up rose, and threw it over the fence. “A plant in bad condition. Unworthy of my time,” Mrs. Brown mumbled.
Anna smiled, as she had an idea. She bowed farewell to Mrs. Brown and went out the garden gate. Mrs. Brown was busy minding her prize roses. Anna quickly bent over and grabbed the abandoned rose before rushing home. She remembered a quiet spot behind the cottage. It was the perfect place for her little rose to grow. Now, she had a chance for the festival.
Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully.

【答案】Anna planted the rose in her garden and tended it carefully. She nurtured it every day, watering it just right and making sure that it received plenty of sunlight. She talked to it softly, much like Mrs. Brown did with her roses, hoping her words would encourage it to bloom beautifully. Weeks passed, and Anna’s rose began to show signs of improvement. Its leaves grew greener, and a few buds formed at the ends of its stems.
On festival morning, Mrs. Brown passed by and saw the beautiful rose. Mrs. Brown couldn’t hide her shock. Anna carried it to the festival, where it stood out among the rows of roses. As the prizes were announced, Anna’s flower won the hearts of all. Mrs. Brown’s mouth dropped open at the result and came to ask what her secret of planting flowers was. Anna mentioned it was being able to do something she enjoyed and trying her best. Shocked and proud, her mother said excitedly in a whisper “Proud of you and your dream.”
