Bird Photographer of the Year 2025Winner: Liron Gertsman, Canada Work: The Frigatebird and the Diamond Ring (钻戒) I dreamed of taking a picture of a bird in front of the total solar eclipse (日全食). I planned for over a year. Then I went to Mexico and stayed there for a week. On April 8th, 2024, my dream came true! I took this amazing picture.

Young Bird Photographer of the Year 2025Winner: Tomasz Michalski, Poland Work: Minimalist Wings I took this photo during the biggest trip of my life. In July 2024, I went to Central America. One day, I saw a big vulture (秃鹫) near our hotel. It looked at me calmly and didn’t fly away. I had lots of time to take pictures. The background (背景) wasn’t very pretty, so I decided to show only part of the bird in the photo. I tried taking pictures in different ways. This one was my favourite!

We got out the raft(木筏) as fast as we could, put all our things on it, and moved off down the river. When it began to get light, we hid. When it was dark again, we chose to travel on.
On the fifth day, we passed St. Louis, and we decided to go on down to Cairo in Illinois, sell the raft there and get a boat to Ohio. There are no slaves(奴隶) in Ohio. After some time, we saw lights on the Illinois side of the river and Jim got very excited.
“Huck, is that Cairo ” He asked.
I looked carefully, but it wasn’t Cairo.
After that, we went on down the river. It was very dark and it wasn’t easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast and hit the raft, so Jim and I jumped off the raft into the water.
When I came up out of the water, I couldn’t see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “He may be dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. Someone called from the house, “Who’s there ”
“George Jackson,” I lied quickly. “I’ve fallen off a river boat.”
Well, the people treated me very well and I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. A few days later, one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” We went down to some trees by the river. On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim!
—Adapted from The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Sun Yingsha was born in 2000. Her parents worked for the government in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. When she was just 5 years old, her mother took her to a table tennis class. At first, her mother just wanted her to get more exercise. Surprisingly, the little girl fell in love with table tennis. Every day, she couldn’t wait to go to training. At home, she kept thinking about what she had learned in class. She even hit the ball against the wall while lying in bed, practising until she fell asleep.
Sun was very hardworking. She didn’t need others to tell her to practise — she always did it actively. She was also very smart. Once she watched someone do a new move, she could copy it right away. Because of this, she improved very fast. At the age of 10, Sun was chosen for the Hebei provincial team (省队). This was her first step toward becoming a professional player.
After joining the team, Sun began to dream big. Her favourite player was Zhang Yining, one of the greatest table tennis champions (冠军) ever. — winning world championships (世锦赛) and Olympic gold medals one day.
In 2017, she won the first place in the Women’s Singles at the Japan Open. This helped her become known around the world in table tennis for the first time. At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, she won a gold with her teammates in the team event. This was a big achievement for such a young player.
Because Sun stayed calm during matches and played very powerfully, people started calling her the “Little Devil”. However, Sun said, “What I really want is to become a ‘Big Devil’ like Zhang Yining one day.”
38.Why did Sun Yingsha’s mother send her to a table tennis class at first
A. To make her famous early.
B. To make her a professional player.
C. To help her get more exercise.
D. To help her make many more friends.
39.When did Sun Yingsha join the Hebei provincial table tennis team
A. In 2000. B. In 2005. C. In 2010. D. In 2017.
40.Which sentence should go in the empty box
in Paragraph 3
A. Zhang was more like her. B. Sun liked her very much.
C. Zhang needed more practice. D. Sun wanted to be like her.
41.What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph
A. Sun Yingsha is called a “Big Devil”.
B. Zhang Yining is called the “Little Devil”.
C. Sun Yingsha wants to do better in table tennis.
D. Zhang Yining really wants to become “Big Devil”.

We’ve all had a bad night’s sleep before. Maybe a bad dream woke you up at night, or you couldn’t sleep because you were worried about the big exam the next day. Perhaps you were too hot or too cold—or maybe your neighbour was noisy. Whatever the reason is, you still have to get through the day. Here are some tips to make your day a little easier after a bad night.
Tip 1
One or two cups of coffee or tea may help to wake you up, but more than that won’t help and might make you feel more stressed. It’s also best not to have caffeine (咖啡因) after 4 p.m. because it might keep you awake at night.
Tip 2
When you feel tired, drinking plenty of water will refresh your body and help to clear your mind. And not having enough water will make you feel more tired! Have a glass of water with your breakfast, and keep drinking throughout the day.
Tip 3
If it’s a sunny day, go outside and get some sunshine. Sunshine helps to wake your body up, and it might cheer you up too.
Tip 4
If you’ve had a bad night, you probably don’t have the energy for a full workout, but a little light exercise will get your blood moving, and will also produce chemicals (化学物质) in your brain to lift your mood. Try something easy, like going for a walk or doing some stretches.
Tip 5
A short nap (小睡) will give you energy. But experts say you shouldn’t sleep more than 25 minutes or you may fall into a deeper sleep and feel worse after waking up!
42.Which is NOT mentioned as a reason for a bad night’s sleep
A. A bad dream.
B. Worrying about the exam the next day.
C. A noisy neighbour.
D. Staying up late to play computer games.
43.What is the right way to drink coffee after a bad night’s sleep
A. Drink one or two cups to wake up.
B. Drink more than two cups to keep awake.
C. Drink coffee only before breakfast.
D. Drink coffee after 4 p.m. to stay energetic.
44.What does the underlined words “refresh your body” in Tip 2 probably mean
A. Make you feel tired. B. Make you feel energetic again.
C. Make you feel bored. D. Make you feel nervous again.
45.What is the main idea of the passage
A. To explain why caffeine is bad for our sleep.
B. To teach us how to spend a day after a bad sleep.
C. To tell us different reasons for having a bad sleep.
D. To show us the importance of having a good sleep.

46.Audiobooks (有声书) are becoming more and more popular with young people. They are a great way to enjoy stories and discover amazing writers without reading a printed book.
The NLT (The National Literacy Trust), a charity (慈善机构), encourages people to read. Recently, it carried out a study about audiobooks. The result showed that in 2025, more than two fifths of young people enjoyed listening to audiobooks or podcasts in their free time. Almost all the children in the study said that listening to stories made them more interested in reading books.
Listening to audiobooks can also help people feel better. The research found that more than half of the listeners said audiobooks or podcasts helped them relax. Audiobooks make them feel calmer when they are stressed (有压力的) or worried.
Another advantage of audiobooks is that people can enjoy them in many situations. They can listen to them alone or together with friends or family. For example, audiobooks are perfect for listening during long car journeys or quiet evenings at home.
Today, there are many ways to get audiobooks. Some online platforms offer thousands of audiobooks for people to listen to. Public libraries also lend audiobooks for free, so everyone can enjoy great stories anytime and anywhere.
If you have never tried an audiobook before, this might be a good time to start.
根据短文内容回答问题（每小题答案不超过10个单词）。
