Imagine a beach that glows (发光) at night. It sounds like a dream, but it’s real! In the Maldives (马尔代夫), there’s a special beach called the Glowing Beach. When night falls, the waves begin to shine with beautiful blue light. It looks like thousands of stars are dancing in the water. That’s why people also call it the “Sea of Stars”.
So, why does the beach glow The secret isn’t the sand or the water. It’s actually the plankton (浮游生物) in the sea. They’re too small to see, but they can move and give off bright blue light. The light isn’t just beautiful. More than that, it helps them stay safe. When a fish tries to eat the plankton, the sudden bright light can scare the fish away.
To see this amazing beach, you’d better go on a dark night without much moonlight. Remember: the warmer the water is, the brighter the plankton glow.
If you go to the Maldives, don’t forget to visit the Glowing Beach. You’ll surely find it a surprising and beautiful present from nature.

There may be no place more dangerous than Death Valley (死亡谷). Death Valley is the hottest and the driest place in North America.
Death Valley isn’t an easy place to live in. It gets less than two inches of rain a year and it’s hot too. In July, the temperature often gets over 46℃. Even a lake there has turned into salt crystals (晶体). But it is cold at night. When it gets cold enough, the water on the ground will turn into thin ice. Then the strong wind — like a large hand — can move the rocks along the icy ground. That is why the rocks can “walk” on their own in Death Valley.
The weather condition in Death Valley is terrible, but it is still full of life. Nothing can stop plants and animals from making it their home. People have found more than 1,000 kinds of plants there. It also has 51 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物), 6 kinds of fish, and more than 300 kinds of birds. The animals aren’t all small either.
Finding water is the biggest challenge for anything that lives here. To survive, some plants’ roots (根部) can go fifty feet under the ground to find water. Kangaroo rats (更格卢鼠) get the water they need from flowers.
Death Valley really is full of surprises!
4.Where might Death Valley be
A.In China. B.In Belgium. C.In America. D.In Egypt.
5.What does the writer want to show by using numbers in Paragraph 3

When you first hear about the Dead Sea, it might sound scary, but the truth is quite different. Let’s get closer to the Dead Sea and learn more about it.
The Dead Sea is located in Southwest Asia. It is about 50 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide at its widest point. It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on Earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake. The salt concentration (盐浓度) in it is more than 30 percent, which is about eight times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty because of its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. For these reasons, it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.
8.What do we know about the Dead Sea
A.It is the largest place in Asia.
B.It is the widest sea in the world.
C.It is the lowest lake on Earth’s land.
9.What makes the Dead Sea so salty
A.A lot of seawater runs into it.
B.Human activities improve the salt levels.
C.Little rainfall and rapid evaporation of freshwater.
10.Why do people call it the Dead Sea
A.Because no plants or animals can live in it.
B.Because it has something dangerous.
C.Because it has low salt concentration.
11.What does the underlined word “float” probably mean
A.Stand in the lake. B.Stay above water. C.Walk on the road.
A Spring Morning
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake till the birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
(Translated by Xu Yuanchong)
Do you often feel sleepy in spring Don’t worry. You are not alone. The feeling is called “spring fever (春困)”. It may be caused by warmer temperatures. But it can bring many illnesses. How can we avoid it Here is some advice.
To keep awake, we should eat more vegetables and fruit. They are helpful for our health.
Make sure fresh air flows in our office and bedroom. Bad air is bad for us. Also, be close to nature to get more fresh air.

Deserts are usually known for being very hot, dry, and hard to live in. However, the Badain Jaran Desert is different. There’s a strong connection between local people and the natural environment there.
The Badain Jaran Desert is in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It’s China’s second-largest shifting desert. Animals, especially camels (骆驼), live peacefully with humans in this surprising place. On 26 July 2024, the Badain Jaran Desert—Towers of Sand and Lakes was finally added to the World Heritage List.
Zhang Jun worked in Bayin Bo Village, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. In 1956, Zhang’s grandfather came to the village and lived there. At that time, he usually went out and looked after the animals on foot. When Zhang’s father was born in 1960, riding camels was the chief way to travel. But now, people can also use off-road vehicles (越野车) to travel across the desert.
Saihan, a man from Badain Jaran Village, is an experienced farmer. When he was little, going across the desert on a camel took about 15 days. “Nowadays, the travel conditions are better,” he said. ▲ During the busy tourist season, Saihan works as a guide, and he can earn 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year.
The local government is trying to get tourists to come while also protecting the environment. This plan has worked well, and tourists are paying more and more attention to protecting the environment. All waste is carefully collected and dealt with in the town. There is a strong promise to take care of the environment in the desert.
16.What is special about the Badain Jaran Desert compared to other deserts

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s longest reef. It is over 2,300 km long and lies along the north-eastern coast of Australia. The reef is made up of billions of corals and is home to over 1,500 different kinds of fish.
●How did the Great Barrier Reef form
The Great Barrier Reef we see today is less than 10,000 years old. About 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last Ice Age, the ice at the North and South Poles turned into water and flooded (淹没) the land on Australia’s coast. The shallow (浅的) water became the perfect place for corals to grow. Over thousands of years, they joined together and became the Great Barrier Reef today.
●Why is the Great Barrier Reef dying
The Great Barrier Reef is facing many problems today, such as pollution, overfishing and overtourism. However, the biggest danger is global warming. Warm waters are causing the corals to die. The Great Barrier Reef has lost around half of its corals since 1995 and this number will continue growing if we can’t stop global warming.

The Dead Sea is located in the Jordan Rift Valley in Asia. It sits at about 430 metres below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land.
What’s interesting is that the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake with a salt concentration (含盐度) of more than 30 per cent, which is about ten times saltier than typical seawater. This makes it one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth.
The Dead Sea stays so salty due to its special natural conditions. Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of fresh water flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the fresh water to evaporate (蒸发) quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher. So it is also known as the Salt Sea.
If you were to swim in the Dead Sea, you wouldn’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to survive there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.
However, don’t let the name or not having any sea life scare you. Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys (救生圈). In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the shore (海岸), you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or newspapers.

The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is a really important and beneficial project in China. As we know, the water distribution in our country is quite unbalanced. The south is rich in water resources,with many rivers and abundant (丰富的) rainfall. However, in the north, many areas are facing serious water scarcity. People there often have difficulties in getting enough water for daily use, like watering crops and having clean water for drinking and washing. This also affects the development of industries and the growth of cities.
The project is divided into three lines. The Eastern Line makes use of the old canals, such as the famous Grand Canal. It’s a smart way because it can cut down on the cost and time needed for construction. The Middle Line takes water from the Danjiangkou Reservoir (水库). Then, through a network of pipes, it transports the water all the way to big cities like Beijing and Tianjin, ensuring that people in these cities have a stable water supply. The Western Line, although it has some technical challenges, is still very important for the long-term water supply in the western part of the north.
This project does more than just provide water. It shows China’s ability to solve big problems. It brings new chances and a better life to people in dry areas. It also helps the environment. For example, with more water, plants can grow better,and the air and soil can improve. It is a project that helps the whole country and shows that China cares about its people’s lives.
36.What is the main purpose of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project
A.To build more reservoirs in the south.
B.To balance water resources between south and north China.
C.To develop tourism along the Grand Canal.
D.To reduce rainfall in the southern regions.
37.In the first paragraph,the words “water scarcity” most likely mean _______.
A.too much water B.water shortages C.clean water D.wasted water
38.Which line of the project sends water to Beijing and Tianjin
A.The Eastern Line.
B.The Middle Line.
C.The Western Line.
D.The Grand Canal Line.
39.What can we infer from the project
A.It only helps people in the south.
B.It is very expensive and useless.
C.It helps both people and the environment.
D.It can solve all the problems.
Have you ever seen a spring (泉) that looks like a giant eye In Croatia, there is a famous natural wonder called the “Eye of the Earth”. It is located near the town of Cetina. Its real name is the Cetina River Spring. People also call it Izvor Cetina. With a depth of 150 meters, it is a karst spring with year-round water temperatures ranging from 4 to 8 degrees Celsius. It is a popular place for diving enthusiasts and explorers, and a must-visit destination for photography lovers.
How did this spring form Over thousands of years, water slowly eroded the rocks. This created a shape that looks like a human eye. The deep center is like the pupil (瞳孔), and the calm water surface reflects the mountains and trees around it. These reflections look like eyelashes and eyeshadow. It is a perfect example of nature’s beauty.
The spring is not just beautiful—it has a long history. Long ago, prehistoric people and the Illyrians (伊利里亚人) likely depended on it as a key water source (源头). Throughout history, the Cetina River has watered farmlands and pastures across Dalmatia. Traditional watermills used its power, and small villages grew along its banks.
However, the “Eye of the Earth” also sends us a serious message. As tourism grows rapidly, more and more visitors come to see this wonder. But too many people, along with pollution and over-development, may harm the ecosystem. While we enjoy nature’s gift, we must also protect it. We need to find ways to visit without harming nature.
40.What makes the spring look like an eye
A.Its round shape and the reflections around it.
B.The fish and plants living inside it.
C.The color of the rocks at the bottom.
D.The bridge built over it by local people.
41.What does the underlined word “eroded” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Built up. B.Washed away. C.Painted over. D.Covered up.
42.What can we infer about the Illyrians from the passage
A.They built the first watermills along the river.
B.They were the first to name the spring “Eye of the Earth”.
C.The spring was important for them for a long time.
D.They stopped tourism from harming the spring.
43.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A.Introduction → history → beauty → problem & protection.
B.Beauty → history → problem →call for action.
C.Location & popularity → formation→ history → problem & protection.
D.Personal story→ scientific facts → history→ future predictions.
Mount Fuji is a mountain covered with snow in the winter months and it is a symbol of Japan, and for good reason.
With a height of about 3,776 meters, Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan. On a clear day, its shape can be seen from different directions (方向).
Mount Fuji has played an important role in Japanese people’s lives. Artists draw it, poets write about it, climbers climb it, students study it, and people across the country come to visit it.
Climbing Mount Fuji is one of the most popular activities. Now hundreds of thousands of people climb Mount Fuji every year, and the best time is from July to August. From October to May it’s too cold and dangerous, so climbing is not encouraged. Most people climb at night in order to catch the sunrise in the morning, or on New Year’s Day.
The climb isn’t the only activity about Mount Fuji. At the end of the climbing season, the Yoshida Fire Festival is held at Fujiyoshida City on August 26th and 27th. The city is at the foot of Mount Fuji. In the evening hours, people set fire to over 70 huge torches (火把), as well as the torches of every family. Then, the whole city becomes a sea of fire lighting up the festival. People do this to stop the mountain’s rage (狂怒).”
Mount Fuji is not just a mountain. It is also an active volcano (火山). It has been over 300 years since Mount Fuji’s last eruption (喷发) in 1707. It is now at risk of erupting again. It is still difficult to find out when Mount Fuji might erupt. But the Japanese government is preparing for it.

18.第四段赛罕说“Nowadays, the travel conditions are better”,结合前文提到现在可以使用越野车,以及后文他在旅游旺季做导游,说明更好的交通条件吸引了更多游客,所以此处应填“更好的交通条件使更多游客来沙漠旅游”,即“The better travel conditions have allowed more tourists to visit the desert.”。
19.全文围绕巴丹吉林沙漠的独特性展开,介绍了其人与自然和谐共生、入选世界遗产、交通发展及环境保护等内容,因此最合适的标题是“The Badain Jaran Desert—a Different Desert in China”。

21.根据原文第二段“The Great Barrier Reef we see today is less than 10,000 years old.”,可知我们如今看到的大堡礁历史不足1万年。
22.下文列出了保护大堡礁的具体行动建议,因此空处的问题应引出这些措施,“What can we do to help save the Great Barrier Reef ”(我们能做些什么来帮助拯救大堡礁?)最符合上下文逻辑。

本文介绍了死海的地理位置、盐度成因、名称由来及特殊浮力特性。
31.根据第二段“It sits at about 430 meters below sea level, making it the lowest point on earth’s land.”及第三段“the Dead Sea isn’t actually a sea. It’s a lake.”可知,死海是地球上陆地的最低点,且本质是湖泊。
32.根据第四段“Each year, it receives very little rainfall, and only a small amount of freshwater flows into it. And the hot weather around the Dead Sea causes the freshwater to evaporate quickly, which makes the salt concentration even higher.”可知,少降雨和淡水快速蒸发导致死海盐度高。
33.根据第五段“If you are to swim in the Dead Sea, you won’t see any sea life—no plants or animals. The high salt concentration makes it impossible for them to live there. That’s actually why it’s called the Dead Sea.”可知,因没有动植物能生存,故得名死海。
34.根据最后一段“the high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys. In fact, many people visit the Dead Sea every year on vacation. If you walk along the lakeside, you’ll likely see many people floating in the water, reading books or magazines.”可知,人们能在水面上不沉下去,因此“float”意为“漂浮,停留在水面上”。
35.根据最后一段“Even if you fall into the Dead Sea and can’t swim, you won’t die. The high concentration of salt in the Dead Sea allows anyone to float well, without the need for life buoys.”可知,不会游泳的人在死海里也不会溺水,是安全的。

37.由第一段“in the north, many areas are facing serious water scarcity. People there often have difficulties in getting enough water for daily use”可知,北方地区的人们难以获得足够的生活用水,因此“water scarcity”意为“水资源短缺/缺水”。
38.由第二段“The Middle Line takes water from the Danjiangkou Reservoir... transports the water all the way to big cities like Beijing and Tianjin”可知,中线工程向北京和天津输水。
39.由第三段“This project does more than just provide water... It brings new chances and a better life to people in dry areas. It also helps the environment”可知,该工程既帮助了人民,也有助于环境。

40.第二段明确指出:“This created a shape that looks like a human eye... the calm water surface reflects the mountains and trees around it. These reflections look like eyelashes and eyeshadow”,说明泉眼看起来像眼睛是因为它的形状和周围的倒影。
41.第二段提到“Over thousands of years, water slowly eroded the rocks. This created a shape that looks like a human eye”,意思是几千年来,水慢慢地侵蚀岩石,形成了像人眼的形状,所以“eroded”意思是侵蚀,即冲走,与“Washed away”意思相符。
42.第三段指出“Long ago, prehistoric people and the Illyrians likely depended on it as a key water source”,说明伊利里亚人长期以来依赖这个泉水作为重要水源。
43.文章结构为:第一段介绍位置和受欢迎程度;第二段介绍形成过程;第三段介绍历史;第四段指出问题并呼吁保护。因此为“位置与受欢迎程度→形成→历史→问题与保护”的结构,即“Location & popularity → formation→ history → problem & protection.”。
