On March 22, 2025, millions of people worldwide celebrated Earth Hour. The annual event encouraged individuals and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour, from 8: 30 to 9: 30 p.m. local time. This symbolic act serves as a reminder of the urgent need to protect our planet from climate change and environmental damage.
The Origin of Earth Hour
Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, 18 years ago. On March 31, 2007, the Australian chapter of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) asked the city’s residents and businesses to switch off all lights for an hour. Over two million households and 2,100 enterprises took part. Even landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge went dark. This small action resulted in a 10 percent reduction in electricity use during a typical evening hour in Sydney.
The first event’s success got the world’s attention. By 2009, nearly 4,000 cities worldwide had joined the initiative. Today, Earth Hour is the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement. It is observed in over 180 countries and territories.
Earth Hour has sparked real environmental initiatives globally. It has helped establish a marine sanctuary (保护区) in Argentina and an Earth Hour forest in Uganda. In French Polynesia, the movement inspired the creation of the Managed Marine Area to protect marine ecosystems.
Participation
Joining Earth Hour is easy. Simply turn off non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour. Use the time to enjoy a candlelight dinner with family and friends or plan a picnic under the stars. For an extended experience, go camping and make it an “Earth Night”.
Beyond Earth Hour
Earth Hour is a reminder that small daily habits can lead to meaningful changes. Let us all do our part in saving the only home we have.
1. What probably contributes to Earth Hour’s growth
A. Business financing. B. Landmark promotion.
C. Government support. D. Sydney’s initial success.
2. What is the main goal of Earth Hour
A. To promote tourism in Sydney. B. To support business development.
C. To encourage energy conservation. D. To celebrate technological advancements.
3. What can be inferred about Earth Hour today

As China’s animated film Ne Zha 2 breaks box office records and receives critical praise, it has been revealed that the voice of its villain (反派) is China’s so-called coolest grandpa. Actor and model Wang Deshun, 89, who plays Wuliang Xianweng in the hit animated production, is seen by many as a perfect match for the character, who initially appears kind but is later revealed to be cruel and ambitious.
Born in Shenyang, in northeastern China’s Liaoning Province, Wang worked as a tram conductor and factory worker before becoming a theatre actor aged 24. A quarter of a century later, he felt his acting career had hit a bottleneck, so he resigned and moved to Beijing with his wife and two children. He began working out so he could achieve accurate bodily expressions on the stage. At 65, Wang learned how to ride a horse. In 2015, at the age of 79, Wang walked the runaway shirtless during China Fashion Week, wowing many people online. When he reached 80, he received training from his daughter and became an amateur DJ. At 85, he became China’s oldest person to receive a pilot’s licence.
Wang played roles in many classic Chinese films and TV dramas. Wang said it took him three days to dub (配音) the character Wuliang Xianweng in June 2022. The production team only provided the lines he needed to perform, and he dubbed the character without knowing any of the plot lines.
Despite being the voice for the villain in Ne Zha 2, Wang was seen by some to be the main character Ne Zha. The brave and resilient character refused to submit to his fate, fighting stereotypes and injustice in the two films. Likewise, in real life, Wang has refused to be bound by social norms. “I do whatever I want to do. It is never too late,” he said.
4. Why is Wang Deshun called “China’s coolest grandpa”
A. Because he played the villain in Ne Zha 2 in an outstanding way.
B. Because he kept challenging himself through various achievements.
C. Because he walked the runaway shirtless during China Fashion Week.
D. Because he became China’s oldest person to receive a pilot’s license.
5. Which of the following can best describe Wang Deshun’s personality
A. Adventurous and special. B. Kind and stubborn.
C. Cautious and disciplined. D. Cruel and pitiless.
6. Why is Wang compared to the character Ne Zha
A. Both show their ambition to break rules. B. Both are known for playing villain roles.
C. Both determine to submit to social norms. D. Both refuse to accept various stereotypes.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ne Zha 2: A Villain Voiced by an 89-Year-Old Actor
B. A Legendary Life: From a Tram Conductor to a Theatre Actor
C. Breaking Boundaries: The Unusual Journey of Wang Deshun
D. Behind the Scenes: The Voice Acting Journey of Ne Zha 2

DeepSeek, a relatively new name in the tech-world, has been making waves with its innovative approach to artificial intelligence. This company has developed advanced AI models that are designed to handle a wide range of tasks,from natural language processing to complex data analytics.
One of the most remarkable features of DeepSeek’s AI is its ability to learn and adapt at an astonishing rate. It can analyze data, identify patterns, and then use this knowledge to make accurate predictions. For example, in the field of healthcare, DeepSeek’ s AI can process patient medical records, including symptoms, test results, and treatment histories.By doing so, it can aid doctors in diagnosing diseases more precisely and suggesting personalized treatment plans.
DeepSeek also focuses on making its technology accessible. It has developed user-friendly interfaces(人机界面)that allow even those without technical knowledge to utilize the power of AI. This has led to its adoption in various industries, such as finance, where it can help with risk assessment and fraud detection. In the retail sector, it can analyze customer behavior to optimize inventory management and marketing strategies.
However, DeepSeek’s AI also faces some challenges. One major concern is the ethical use of data. As the AI relies on large-scale data collection, ensuring the privacy and security of this data is crucial. DeepSeek is aware of these concerns and has implemented strict data protection measures. It adheres to international data privacy regulations and uses encryption(加密) techniques to safeguard the data it processes.
Another challenge is the potential for bias in the AI algorithms. If the training data contains biases, the AI’s predictions and decisions may also be skewed (有偏见的). To address this, DeepSeek uses a variety of techniques, such as diverse data sampling and fairness-aware algorithms, to ensure that the AI is as unbiased as possible.
Despite these challenges, DeepSeek is well-positioned to play a significant role in the future of AI. Its continuous innovation and commitment to addressing ethical and technical issues make it a company to watch in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%.
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said, “The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife, but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France.” The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, “It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”
12. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Stop. B. Attract. C. Note. D. Witness.
13. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B. To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C. To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D. To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
14. What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson’s words
A. The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B. The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C. Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D. Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B. Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C. Gardeners’ attitudes towards the experiment.
D. Other researchers’ interest in the experiment.

There are some ways to boost your mental health. Some are tried-and-true; exercise regularly and get plenty of sleep. Over the years, my colleagues have reported on 5 other self-care tips that are backed by science and fairly easy to access.
Spend more time in nature.
There’s evidence that it really can help reduce stress and keep you healthy. ____16____ But if you’re not able to get outdoors, experts say there are helpful things you can do to bring nature to you instead, like opening a window to let in a fresh light wind or using nature-inspired smells.

Stimulate your feel-good hormones (荷尔蒙).
____19____ A 2023 story offers a few examples of how to get high on your own hormones—ranging from the dopamine rush you get from something as simple as finishing a task to the burst of stress-relief hormone from playing with your pet.
Plan a trip.
Many of us can’t afford a vacation in a world where there’s not much we can control. Well, it turns out that even just planning a vacation can make a difference. As my colleagues on our travel team reported during the pandemic (流行病), research shows that anticipating a trip “can increase a person’s happiness substantially”. ____20____

Chloe had two pet rats, Zena and Roxy. Chloe knows they’re not typical pets and she didn’t like rats either till her friend Martin invited her to his house one day and showed her his pet rats. When she held a rat in her hands for the first time, she saw how loving and intelligent they were, so when one of Martin’s rats had babies, Chloe decided she’d like to take two of them.
It wasn’t easy to persuade Mum and Dad. But fortunately, a good school report arrived just before Chloe’s birthday and her parents were in a good mood. When Mum asked Chloe what she wanted for her birthday, Chloe told her she’d like a pair of rats. After a heated discussion, Mum agreed but insisted they must live in Chloe’s room and can never go to other parts of the house. Chloe was delighted, and two days later they went to Martin’s house to collect Roxy and Zena.
In her room, Chloe opened the cage. First she picked up Roxy and put her on the floor. Then she picked up Zena and put her on her shoulder. Roxy loved to explore. She climbed bookcases and drawers and went under Chloe’s bed. Zena was quieter and liked sitting on Chloe’s shoulder while she read a book. A while later, Mum came and told her, “I’m going to my dance class. I’ll be back about seven o’ clock. Dad will make pasta tonight.”
Mum closed the door. Chloe put Zena back in her cage and called for Roxy. She waited a moment and then started to look for her. Where could Roxy be Then Chloe remembered that Mum had opened the door. Roxy might have gone out of the room!

As China’s animated film Ne Zha 2 breaks box office records and receives critical praise, it has been revealed that the voice of its villain (反派) is China’s so-called coolest grandpa. Actor and model Wang Deshun, 89, who plays Wuliang Xianweng in the hit animated production, is seen by many as a perfect match for the character, who initially appears kind but is later revealed to be cruel and ambitious.
Born in Shenyang, in northeastern China’s Liaoning Province, Wang worked as a tram conductor and factory worker before becoming a theatre actor aged 24. A quarter of a century later, he felt his acting career had hit a bottleneck, so he resigned and moved to Beijing with his wife and two children. He began working out so he could achieve accurate bodily expressions on the stage. At 65, Wang learned how to ride a horse. In 2015, at the age of 79, Wang walked the runaway shirtless during China Fashion Week, wowing many people online. When he reached 80, he received training from his daughter and became an amateur DJ. At 85, he became China’s oldest person to receive a pilot’s licence.
Wang played roles in many classic Chinese films and TV dramas. Wang said it took him three days to dub (配音) the character Wuliang Xianweng in June 2022. The production team only provided the lines he needed to perform, and he dubbed the character without knowing any of the plot lines.
Despite being the voice for the villain in Ne Zha 2, Wang was seen by some to be the main character Ne Zha. The brave and resilient character refused to submit to his fate, fighting stereotypes and injustice in the two films. Likewise, in real life, Wang has refused to be bound by social norms. “I do whatever I want to do. It is never too late,” he said.
4. Why is Wang Deshun called “China’s coolest grandpa”
A. Because he played the villain in Ne Zha 2 in an outstanding way.
B. Because he kept challenging himself through various achievements.
C. Because he walked the runaway shirtless during China Fashion Week.
D. Because he became China’s oldest person to receive a pilot’s license.
5. Which of the following can best describe Wang Deshun’s personality
A. Adventurous and special. B. Kind and stubborn.
C. Cautious and disciplined. D. Cruel and pitiless.
6. Why is Wang compared to the character Ne Zha
A. Both show their ambition to break rules. B. Both are known for playing villain roles.
C. Both determine to submit to social norms. D. Both refuse to accept various stereotypes.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text

Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%.
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said, “The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife, but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France.” The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, “It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”
12. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Stop. B. Attract. C. Note. D. Witness.
13. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B. To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C. To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D. To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
14. What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson’s words
A. The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B. The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C. Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D. Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B. Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C. Gardeners’ attitudes towards the experiment.
D. Other researchers’ interest in the experiment.

Chloe had two pet rats, Zena and Roxy. Chloe knows they’re not typical pets and she didn’t like rats either till her friend Martin invited her to his house one day and showed her his pet rats. When she held a rat in her hands for the first time, she saw how loving and intelligent they were, so when one of Martin’s rats had babies, Chloe decided she’d like to take two of them.
It wasn’t easy to persuade Mum and Dad. But fortunately, a good school report arrived just before Chloe’s birthday and her parents were in a good mood. When Mum asked Chloe what she wanted for her birthday, Chloe told her she’d like a pair of rats. After a heated discussion, Mum agreed but insisted they must live in Chloe’s room and can never go to other parts of the house. Chloe was delighted, and two days later they went to Martin’s house to collect Roxy and Zena.
In her room, Chloe opened the cage. First she picked up Roxy and put her on the floor. Then she picked up Zena and put her on her shoulder. Roxy loved to explore. She climbed bookcases and drawers and went under Chloe’s bed. Zena was quieter and liked sitting on Chloe’s shoulder while she read a book. A while later, Mum came and told her, “I’m going to my dance class. I’ll be back about seven o’ clock. Dad will make pasta tonight.”
Mum closed the door. Chloe put Zena back in her cage and called for Roxy. She waited a moment and then started to look for her. Where could Roxy be Then Chloe remembered that Mum had opened the door. Roxy might have gone out of the room!
Chloe started to search. She looked in her parents’ room but Roxy wasn’t there. Then she rushed downstairs to the kitchen only to see nothing. Chloe searched the whole house, calling Roxy’s name the whole time.

【答案】
“Hi, Chloe!” Dad came with a bag of food. Chloe’s heart raced as she turned to him, her face pale with worry. “Dad, Roxy is missing! She might have run out of my room when Mum left!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling. Dad’s cheerful expression faded, and he quickly put the bag down. “Don’t panic,” he said, trying to calm her. “We’ll find her together.” Chloe nodded, but her hands were shaking as she opened cabinets and peeked behind furniture. Every second felt like an eternity, and her mind raced with worst-case scenarios. What if Roxy got hurt What if she was lost forever Tears welled up in her eyes as she whispered, “Please, Roxy, where are you ”
Then she heard Dad laughing and Mum called out, “Chloe, come here!” Chloe froze for a moment, her heart pounding. Was Roxy okay She rushed down the stairs, her legs feeling like jelly. When she reached the kitchen, she saw Dad holding Roxy gently in his hands, a big smile on his face. “Look who I found hiding in the pantry!” he said. Chloe’s eyes filled with tears of relief as she carefully took Roxy from him. “Oh, Roxy, you scared me so much!” she whispered, cuddling the little rat close. Mum stood nearby, shaking her head but smiling. “Next time, keep the door closed,” she said. Chloe nodded, her heart still racing but filled with gratitude. She promised herself she would never let Roxy out of her sight again.
