Have you ever read a line from an ancient book come to life
Recently, a natural wonder at the Yellow River Delta in Dongying, Shandong, made people think of a famous description from an ancient Chinese philosopher.
On the evening of December 7, 2025, something amazing happened. Over 240,000 Baikal teals (花脸鸭) gathered in the sky. They flew together in a huge, shape-shifting group — sometimes looking like a giant whale, and sometimes like an enormous bird with its wings spread. Against the sunset, the scene was so breathtaking that people called it a living picture of the "Kun" from Zhuangzi’s tale. The topic "The giant fish in the northern sea is real" quickly became popular online.
This phenomenon, known as a "bird wave," is not magic but a survival skill of birds. Scientists explain that birds fly in such large groups mainly for two reasons: to save energy during long migrations and to protect themselves from predators. Flying together in a specific formation helps them use the air currents better.
The appearance of this "bird wave" is also a sign of successful ecological (生态的) protection. The Yellow River Delta Wetland was once poor land, but through years of hard work like supplying water and returning farmland to wetland, it has now become a key stop for millions of migratory birds every year. The number of bird species there has increased from 187 to 374 over the years. The healthy environment is the real reason behind this magical show.
Local tourism authorities have issued guidelines for bird-watching. Visitors are advised to keep a distance of at least 100 meters, not to use drones to get close, and never to feed the birds. We should enjoy this gift from nature while also protecting it.
This event beautifully connects the imagination of ancient literature, the wonder of the natural world, and the achievements of modern environmental protection.
1. Why do birds form "bird waves" according to scientists
A. To find more food and water. B. To attract tourists and scientists.
C. To save energy and stay safe. D. To practice flying for competitions.
2. The underlined word "predators" in Paragraph 3 most probably means ______.
A. animals that hunt and eat other animals B. people who take photos of birds
C. strong winds in the sky D. other larger bird groups
3. What is the main reason for the return of so many birds to the Yellow River Delta
A. The weather there has become warmer. B. The local people feed them regularly.
C. The environment has been greatly improved. D. There are fewer tourists to disturb them now.
4. Which of the following is a correct way to watch the birds based on the text
A. Flying a drone close to take clear pictures. B. Throwing food to attract them for a better view.
C. Keeping a safe distance of over 100 meters. D. Trying to get as close as possible to the birds.
5. (跨学科题) The text connects an ancient Chinese philosophical tale with a ______ phenomenon.
A. Physics B. History
C. Math D. Music and Biology
答案解析

2. A：根据语境，鸟类结群是为了保护自己免受predators伤害，结合常识，该词指“捕食者”，即捕猎并吃掉其他动物的动物。
3. C：文中指出黄河三角洲能吸引大量鸟类的核心原因是The healthy environment（健康的环境），也就是生态环境得到了极大改善。
4. C：原文提到观鸟需keep a distance of at least 100 meters（保持至少100米的距离），与选项“Keeping a safe distance of over 100 meters”一致；A、B、D均为原文禁止的行为。
5. Biology：文章将庄子的哲学典故与鸟类迁徙、生态保护的自然现象结合，属于生物学科范畴（若题目选项中有“Ecology/生物”类选项，为正确答案）。
阅读理解 B
In a world where social media is part of daily life, Australia has made a historic decision: it is the first country to ban children under 16 from having social media accounts. This new law came into force on December 10, 2025, and it has drawn much attention around the globe.
The government says the rule is to keep teenagers safe online. Everyone knows that young people may face many risks when using social media. For example, some algorithms are designed to make users spend more time on the apps, which can be addictive. Besides, cyberbullying often hurts teens' feelings, and there are even dangerous people who try to harm them online. The new law aims to stop all these bad things.
Big social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok have to check users' ages strictly. If they don't shut down accounts of under-16 users, they may have to pay a fine of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars. Most platforms agree to follow the rule, but X, the app that used to be called Twitter, thinks the ban limits people's free speech.
Not all apps are included in the ban. Some useful or kid-friendly ones like WhatsApp, YouTube Kids and Roblox are still allowed. The government says this list might change as new apps become popular.
Parents are mostly happy with the ban, as they worry less about their children's online safety. However, critics have different ideas. They say teenagers might just move to other platforms with less regulation. It's like playing a "whack-a-mole" game—when you hit one mole, another pops up, bringing new risks.
1. What can we learn about Australia's new law
A. It started to work on December 10, 2025. B. It has been discussed for ten years.
C. It is the second such law in the world. D. It only applies to Australian-born teens.
2. Why does X disagree with the new rule
A. It will lose a lot of young users. B. It is too difficult to check users' ages.
C. It restricts people's right of free speech. D. It increases the platform's operating costs.
3. The underlined phrase "whack-a-mole" in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.
A. a game that helps solve problems completely B. a method to check social media platforms
C. a way to make teenagers stay away from risks D. a situation where problems keep appearing
4. What is the purpose of Paragraph 4
A. To list popular apps among Australian teens. B. To explain that the ban is not all-inclusive.
C. To show how the government regulates apps. D. To introduce kid-friendly social media apps.
5. What is the main idea of this passage
A. How Australian teens use social media safely. B. Australia's new law on social media for teens.
C. Why parents support social media bans. D. Different opinions on social media platforms.
答案解析
1. A：原文明确提到“This new law came into force on December 10, 2025”，“came into force”与“started to work”同义，说明法律于2025年12月10日生效；B项“讨论十年”、C项“世界第二部”、D项“仅适用于澳大利亚本土青少年”均无原文依据。
2. C：第三段指出X（原Twitter）反对该禁令的原因是“thinks the ban limits people's free speech”，即认为禁令限制了言论自由，对应选项C。
3. D：文中对“whack-a-mole”的解释是“when you hit one mole, another pops up, bringing new risks”，结合“打地鼠”游戏的特点，该短语喻指问题不断出现的情况，对应选项D。
4. B：第四段首句“Not all apps are included in the ban”是核心句，随后举例说明部分实用或儿童友好型应用不在禁令范围内，目的是解释禁令并非涵盖所有应用，对应选项B。
5. B：文章围绕澳大利亚出台的“禁止16岁以下青少年拥有社交账号”的新法律展开，介绍了法律内容、各方态度等，核心主旨是澳大利亚针对青少年使用社交媒体的新法律，对应选项B；A、C、D均为文章局部内容，并非主旨。

As summer vacation ends, many kids feel sad, get angry easily, or can’t sleep well. Some also worry about weight gain or worse eyesight after the vacation, which makes it hard for them to change from a free vacation to a busy school life.
Experts say if kids have bad feelings for more than a week, it may be a sign of mental health problems. Parents should not scold their kids. Instead, they should understand and guide them to get through this change, which is really important for kids’ growth. Mental adjustment helps a lot. Kids can use feeling cards, drawing, or role-play to show how they feel. Parents can also help adjust their kids’ sleep time early and set small goals. This can help kids get ready for school better. Doing 40 minutes of outdoor activities every day is also good for their health and mind.
Sports are very useful too. Group sports teach kids teamwork. Outdoor sports help with tired eyes. Regular exercise makes kids’ characters stronger. But remember, kids should play different kinds of sports, not just one. As the season changes from summer to autumn, health protection is important. Schools are crowded, so kids may catch diseases easily. Parents need to help stop this from happening.
If kids have serious mental problems, parents should ask experts for help. They should not feel embarrassed. Schools, teachers, and communities can also help. For example, schools can give students a "slow start time". With everyone’s help, kids can start the new term happily.
1. What problems do many kids have when summer vacation ends (List two examples)
2. What should parents do if kids have bad feelings for over a week
3. What benefits can group sports bring to kids

阅读与表达 B
Compared with other types of paintings, Chinese paintings are quite special because of their unique drawing tools, materials, and cultural background. The special appearance of Chinese painting is closely connected with the use of the Chinese writing brush and Xuan paper. There are four important things used in the creation of Chinese painting: the brush, the paper, the ink, and the inkstone. Without any of them, the job cannot be done.
When drawing, Chinese painters use circles and lines that can also be found in Chinese calligraphy (书法). Thus, most Chinese paintings are created with the same movement and rhythm (节奏) that are used when people write calligraphic characters. Calligraphy is a highly respected form of art in Chinese culture.
The most important things that influence Chinese painting are the painters’ character and Chinese philosophy (哲学). Painters are trained not only to describe what they see but also to express the mood and deeper meaning of the scenes. The Chinese believe that a painting reflects the painter’s knowledge and character. In this way, Chinese painting becomes something much more than art.
What Chinese painters are trying to express is not just what meets the eye, but their thoughts and feelings about the natural world. They may spend hours thinking and drawing things in nature, such as singing birds and running horses. From these animals that are chosen as the subjects of their paintings, we can see _______________.
1. Why are Chinese paintings so special
2. What are the four important things used in creating a Chinese painting
3. Chinese calligraphy influences Chinese painting the most, doesn't it
4. What are Chinese painters trained to do
5. How do you understand the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
6. Fill in the blank in the last paragraph:
答案解析
1.答案：Because of their unique drawing tools, materials, and cultural background.
解析：文章第一段第一句明确指出“Chinese paintings are quite special because of their unique drawing tools, materials, and cultural background”，直接提取该原因即可。
2.答案：They are the brush, the paper, the ink, and the inkstone.
解析：第一段明确列出了中国画创作的“四宝”：the brush, the paper, the ink, and the inkstone，直接引用原文内容。
3.答案：No, it doesn't. The most important things that influence Chinese painting are the painters’ character and Chinese philosophy.
解析：文章第三段开头指出“影响中国画最重要的是画家的品格和中国哲学”，并非书法，因此要先否定问题，再说明真正的核心影响因素。
4.答案：They are trained not only to describe what they see but also to express the mood and deeper meaning of the scenes.
解析：第三段第二句直接说明画家的训练目标：不仅描述所见，还要表达场景的情绪和深层含义，直接引用原文即可。
5.答案：Chinese painting is not just a form of art. It also reflects the painter’s knowledge, character, and the ideas of Chinese philosophy.
解析：划线句“Chinese painting becomes something much more than art”意为“中国画不仅仅是艺术”，结合前文可知，它还体现了画家的知识、品格及中国哲学思想，因此需解释其超出艺术本身的深层内涵。
6.示例答案：the painters’ thoughts and feelings about the natural world
解析：最后一段开头提到“中国画家想表达的不仅是视觉所见，还有对自然世界的想法和感受”，因此空白处可填入画家通过动物题材传递的“对自然的想法与情感”，呼应前文主题。
