My friend and I often played together when we were young children. Once, she looked down at her legs and then looked at mine. She laughed and said, “You have fat legs.” I was actually a thin little kid who just happened to be bigger than her. Regardless of my size, this was the first time I could remember anyone talking about my body. I had never really given it a lot of thought before, but her words marked a change and started me down a road of body struggles that would continue for years.
Decades later, I was a mom to two little girls. I never wanted my daughters to feel about their own bodies the way I did about mine or to be focused on trying to change their bodies to fit a cultural standard. I’m raising them to understand that bodies come in all shapes and sizes and that their weight and appearance have nothing to do with their worth.
One day, while out buying food with my 6-year-old daughter, a great song played in the store. I did a little dance move and was met with a frightened expression on my kid’s face. “Mommy,” she said, eyes wide. “Your extra weight is jiggling (抖动).”
What she said shocked me. A moment like this once made me very focused on my appearance. But this was also one of those teachable moments as a parent and I wanted to make use of it. “There’s nothing wrong with jiggling!” I told her.
Back home, I did some research, which suggested that even preschool children are learning our culture’s message that thin is good and fat is bad. This research inspired me to begin having conversations about body acceptance and weight shame with both of my daughters and write my first picture book “B Is For Bellies: A Celebration of Every Body”. My hope was to remind kids — and the adults reading aloud to them — that all bodies are worthy of respect and that we are more than just our bodies.
4. What made the author anxious about her body image
A. Her older daughter’s birth. B. Her writing of the first picture book.
C. A childhood friend’s comment. D. A shopping experience with her daughter.
5. How did the author feel about her daughter’s words at first
A. Calm. B. Regretful. C. Annoyed. D. Surprised.
6. What did the author learn through her research
A. Preschool kids are very careful about their looks.
B. Popular culture contributes to the weight shame.
C. Parents seldom talk about body acceptance with their kids.
D. Cultural ideas about the body have influenced young kids.
7. Why did the author write the picture book
A. To guide kids how to keep a good shape.
B. To encourage children to accept their bodies.
C. To teach children to appreciate various cultures.
D. To inspire parents to discuss body image with kids.
C
This year’s Qingming Festival brings some new changes to the traditional celebration. With the rise of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), different approaches have appeared to make farewells and mourning (哀悼) more personal and heartfelt.
At the start of this year, Wang Wei and his students were already busy at Anhui Normal University, portraying (描画) what heroes looked like before their passing. Over the past few years, the team has painted portraits of more than 600 heroes, which have become an important way for their families to express feelings of longing.
“We are busiest around the Qingming Festival every year. In the past two years, with the help of AI, we can do our jobs much more easily now,” Wang said. According to Wang, the portraits could previously only be hand-drawn with great care and effort based on the appearance and memories of the heroes’ close relatives, with the team making all drawings and changes by hand. “But now, AI can help us make changes more quickly and conveniently,” he said.
Moreover, AI helps create lively images and short videos, providing additional ways to convey emotions and memories of the heroes’ families.
In addition to the use of AI, digitalization and social media are also changing the way Chinese people pay respect to their ancestors. In early March. an app called “e-tomb” was issued on the App Store, drawing widespread attention on a Chinese lifestyle social media platform (平台). The app allows relatives and friends to carry out digital memorial services for the deceased (逝者), including setting virtual tombstones and sending flowers.
“At first, I developed this app to keep track of my thoughts, hoping to create a small corner to store my memories of my deceased puppy.” said Maggie, adding that she hopes it can help people approach death with less heaviness. According to Maggie, the digital memorial ceremony is more environmentally friendly than traditional methods and solves the limitations of time and space.
8. What can we learn about the painting work of Wang Wei’s team this year
A. They paint mainly based on family photos. B. They have painted over 600 hero portraits.
C. They complete the works quickly by using AI. D. They improve their hand-drawing skills with AI.
9. What does the underlined word “convey” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Hide. B. Express. C. Control. D. Exchange.
10. What does Maggie think of the digital memorial way
A. It is eco-friendly and convenient. B. It makes people feel heavier about death.
C. It’s short of true feelings for the dead. D. It will get international acceptance soon.
11. Which is the best title for the text
A. Qingming Festival Carries Rich Culture. B. Social Media Brings Heroes Back to Life.
C. AI Makes Qingming Festival More Popular. D. Technology Is Changing Qingming Mourning.
D
Hunters, often seen as enemies of nature, have a special understanding of wildlife and their habitats, making them surprisingly effective supporters for protection. This connection to the environment is similarly shared by surfers, who have a deep appreciation for the ocean’s power and beauty.
Enter Swellcycle, a new business that is winning the hearts of surfers everywhere with its new and creative, 3D-printed surfboards. These boards are made from biodegradable (可生物降解的) plant materials, ensuring tiny waste and a positive impact on our precious oceans. Traditional surfboards are made from foam (泡沫) that comes from oil. They harm the environment both when they are produced and when they finally break down. In fact, the shaping process often results in around 40% of the original foam ending up being thrown away. Over time, these surfboards can break down, producing microplastics, which is a concern for sea life.
Tyler James, a big wave surfer and active spokesman for Swellcycle, expressed his confidence about the future of surfing, saying, “This is the future, I think, of surfing.” He stresses the importance of surfers’ caring for the oceans, noting, “If we want to keep surfing, we got to care about our oceans, we got to care about the process that’s making our boards.”
Patricio Guerrero founded Swellcycle with a dream of sustainability (可持续性) in mind. The company uses materials like corn to create a material with different functions. This material is printed carefully into a net-like structure (结构), which is then covered with a special coating that is 30% breakable, resulting in a surfboard that is partly empty inside. It is not only good for the environment but also stronger than traditional foam boards.
Surfers who have tried the Swellcycle boards are filled with excitement. Keaton Mayo, who tested a board at a recent event, described the experience as “really fast” and “really fun”, stressing the special excitement of riding something so creative.
Swellcycle works with famous surfboard designers. They also carefully reuse any leftover materials from the board-making process, further showing their care for sustainability.
12. Why are hunters mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To criticize their harm to wildlife. B. To compare their skills with surfers’.
C. To introduce a similar connection. D. To stress their role in animal protection.
13. What does the author imply about traditional surfboards
A. They are low-cost. B. They are produced easily.
C. They cannot break down in water. D. They cause lots of wasted materials.
14. What makes Swellcycle’s surfboards stronger than traditional ones
A. The special material and structure. B. The 3D-printing technology.
C. The large size and simple shape. D. The use of common foam from oil.
15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To encourage more people to take up surfing.
B. To promote environmentally friendly surfing.
C. To praise surfers’ efforts in environmental protection.
D. To explain the effect of traditional surfboards on sea life.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mia and Chloe had been best friends since middle school. When their history teacher gave a group project about old civilizations, they worked together right away. Mia liked to plan everything and do her work early. Chloe always waited until the last minute. “Relax, we have two weeks,” Chloe would say, looking at her phone while Mia worked alone. Mia did not want to be bossy, so she kept quiet and did most of the work herself. She hoped everything would be fine in the end.
The night before the presentation (展示), Mia finished the slides, the speech, and the poster by herself. Chloe said she would practice her part in the morning. But the next day, something went wrong. When Chloe stood up to speak, she could not say the words well and got some facts wrong. She had never even read the slides. Their teacher, Mr. Evans, looked disappointed and said, “This does not match your research. See me after class.” Mia felt very sorry for herself. She had worked so hard, but now her grade might be low because of Chloe.
After class, Chloe caught up with Mia in the hallway. “I am really sorry. I let you down,” she said, her voice shaking. Mia took a deep breath and said, “I should have told you how I felt. I should not have done everything alone.” They went to talk to Mr. Evans together and told him the truth.
To their surprise, the teacher was not angry. “Telling the truth is more important than a perfect grade,” he said. “But you need to talk with each other. I will give you one more chance. Do the project again by next Friday.” Mia and Chloe were glad and knew that would be their best opportunity to start over — and this time, they would do it together.

【答案】Dear classmates,
I’m glad to share how art has contributed to my personal growth.
I fell in love with painting at the age of eight. At first, I just painted for fun in my spare time. Gradually, I kept practicing even when I faced difficulties.
Art has changed me a lot. It calms my mind when I feel stressed and helps me express inner feelings I cannot put into words. Besides, it teaches me patience and creativity, making me a more thoughtful and confident person. I truly believe art lights up my life and drives me to become better.
That’s all. Thank you!
答案】 That weekend, they met at Mia’s house with a new attitude. Instead of one doing all the work, they divided the tasks fairly. Mia sorted out the key information of old civilizations, while Chloe searched for pictures and organized the poster carefully. Chloe no longer buried herself in the phone but focused on their project. They discussed every part patiently, corrected mistakes together and practiced the speech repeatedly side by side. Both of them devoted themselves wholeheartedly.
From that experience, Mia and Chloe learned a good lesson. They realized teamwork requires communication and shared responsibility. It is wrong that we keep silent and do all the work alone and that we always put things off till the last minute. True friendship means being honest with each other and cooperating sincerely. Since then, they have always worked together properly in group tasks, and their friendship became even stronger.
