A
13-year-old Sarah sits in her yard （院子），laying out her handmade crafts （手工制品） on the table.There are baskets，flower pots，and cloth bags—all made from recycled materials.They are not just creative objects （物品）；they're part of Sarah's project to make a greener community.
Two years ago，Sarah would pass by a park near her house every day after school.Plastic bottles，empty cans，and broken toys littered the roadside.Seeing this，Sarah felt sad.
One afternoon，Sarah noticed some kids selling orange juice at the park.People stopped to buy it.That was when Sarah got an idea.
"Mom，what if we sell handmade crafts？" she asked excitedly that evening. "Then we can buy trees for our neighborhood with the money."
With her mom's help，Sarah started making crafts with great interest，using old boxes，plastic bottles and empty cans.Every day after school，she sat in her yard，waiting for customers.At first，no one came.Sarah felt down，but she didn't give up.
Later，people began to stop by.A kind woman bought a cloth bag，saying it was perfect for shopping.Kids liked the flower pots，and one boy even asked Sarah to make him a special basket for his toys.By the end of the first month，Sarah had made ＄150!She bought 30 small trees.Together with her parents，they planted the trees around the park and along the sidewalks.
Now，the neighborhood looks nicer，and the birds have more places to rest.Sarah even teaches her friends how to make eco-friendly （环保的） crafts after school.They organize sales every month to raise money for new projects like bird feeders.

Many traditional woodcut prints （版画） are either black and white or simple in colour，but reduction woodcuts （绝版木刻） can show rich colours.
The reduction woodcut uses one piece of wood to make a colourful artwork.The artist cuts and prints different layers （层） in order on the same piece of wood.The reduction woodcuts became an intangible cultural heritage in Pu'er，Yunnan，in 2009.
Leng Guangmian is a 40-year-old artist who makes pictures by carving （雕刻） on a piece of wood.He started learning this in 2003.Leng said that making these woodcut prints is like going on an amazing experience.Before he starts carving，he needs to plan the whole picture and choose colours for different layers.First，he carves on a piece of wood.Then，he puts colours on the wood to make a wooden print.After that，he carves more pictures into the same wood，puts different colours，and prints over and over again. "Every time I print the pictures，I never know what they will really look like in the end，because the new layers and colours I add each time will change everything about them，" he said. "As I see beautiful pictures layer by layer，I get more excited，" added Leng.However，finishing these artworks is not easy.A big picture usually takes several months to finish.
Leng wants his artwork to show both great woodcutting skills and the culture and life in Pu'er. "For my works，there are two themes：Tea Horse Road，because Pu'er is one of the starting places of that tea trade route；and disappearing villages，" Leng said. "Many old villages in Pu'er need rebuilding，so I hope to help people remember their beauty before they are gone."
Leng Guangmian is now getting more people to know about the reduction woodcuts.He trains farmers in Pu'er and brings the art into schools.To make students understand and learn the art quickly，he even thought of a new idea of cardboard printing. "By using a small cardboard and making it easier with three to five colours，students can get the beauty of the art." Leng said.
31.What is special about reduction woodcut prints？______
A. They are always black and white.
B. They use many layers on one piece of wood.
C. They are bigger than traditional ones.
D. They are made faster than traditional ones.
32.What does the underlined word "them" refer to in Paragraph 3？______
A. Pieces of wood. B. The shapes.
C. The pictures. D. New layers and colours.
33.Which of the following does Leng Guangmian most probably like to draw？______
A. Villages after being rebuilt.
B. Flowers and plants in Pu'er.
C. A busy tea trading city.
D. Old houses along the Tea Horse Road.
34.Which is the right order for making a reduction woodcut print？______
①Print.
②Cut and colour the wood.
③Repeat the actions.
④Think of the whole print.
⑤Decide colours for different layers.
A. ④⑤②①③ B. ④⑤②③① C. ⑤④②①③ D. ②⑤①④③
35.Which of the following statements can be inferred according to the text？______
A. Leng Guangmian thinks preserving old villages matters more than rebuilding them.
B. Cardboard printing was developed mainly to save time and materials for students.
C. Reduction woodcuts need more people to finish than the other traditional woodcut prints.
D. Leng Guangmian enjoys the unexpected results that come out layer by layer.
C
Listening is widely considered the most basic skill but receives little attention in daily communication.In schools and workplaces，most training focuses on expressing oneself，while listening is hardly taught or practiced.This gives many people the idea that communicating well means speaking clearly and expressing ideas effectively，but they ignore （忽视） the fact that listening is the basis of meaningful communication.Without real listening，messages are misunderstood，feelings are ignored，and relationships are gradually damaged.
Active listening is not simply hearing sounds or words.It needs full focus and real engagement （参与） with the speaker.A good listener puts away mobile phones，keeps proper eye contact，and does not hurry to interrupt or judge.Instead of preparing a reply while the other person is talking，active listeners focus on understanding the feelings and thoughts behind the words.They may also use simple words like "I see" or "That sounds difficult" to show engagement，but the key is always sincere attention rather than empty reply.
Many people use "fake listening" in daily life.They nod and give simple reactions，but their minds are elsewhere.Such behaviour makes speakers feel unimportant and unwilling to share further.On the other hand，active listening makes people feel understood and respected，which strengthens trust and brings people closer.
Active listening plays an important role in solving arguments and misunderstandings.When people feel truly listened to，they become calmer and more willing to work together.Many disagreements happen not because of different opinions，but because people feel their voices are not heard.
Mastering active listening needs patience and self-control.It means slowing down，controlling the desire to speak，and learning to understand before being understood.This valuable skill not only improves communication but also shapes positive personalities and builds healthier social relationships.Though it takes effort to break old habits，anyone can develop active listening through daily practice，and the rewards—deeper trust，fewer disagreements，and stronger connections—are well worth it.
36.Why do many people pay little attention to listening？______
A. Because they already know that listening is the basis of communication.
B. Because listening skills play a small role in building relationships.
C. Because they prefer speaking to listening most of the time.
D. Because listening is not often the focus in most training.
37.What does active listening need？______
A. Preparing a reply while the speaker is talking.
B. Keeping mobile phones nearby during conversations.
C. Finding out what is hidden behind the words.
D. Interrupting the speaker to ask questions.
38.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？______
A. Fake listening makes speakers feel respected and willing to share more.
B. Empty reply is always needed to show real engagement in active listening.
C. People who like to talk a lot find it easy to master active listening.
D. People are less likely to get angry when they feel their voices are heard.
39.What can we infer from the passage about active listening？______
A. It expects listeners to agree with the speaker without question.
B. It helps create a trusting and comfortable communication environment.
C. It completely stops disagreements between the speaker and the listener.
D. It means giving direct advice to the speaker while listening.
40.What is the main idea of the passage？______
A. How to avoid fake listening in daily life.
B. Why listen actively and how to do so.
C. The importance of active listening.
D. The difference between active and fake listening.

41.广州将举办马拉松赛并正在招募志愿者。请你阅读下面短文，提取关键信息（每个回答不超过5个词），为同学们介绍马拉松志愿者的工作内容与社会责任。
In a marathon，have you ever seen some special runners holding signs with different finish times？They are marathon pacers （马拉松配速员），also known as "rabbits".They are usually experienced volunteers who guide a group of runners at a set speed.
Their work is to help others finish the race within their goal time.Usually，there are about 12 pacers in a marathon.Each of them leads a different pace group.Many runners achieve their best finish times with pacers' help.
Pacers play an important part in a marathon.Firstly，they help runners save energy and avoid slowing down.For example，if you go out too fast in the first half of the race，you will run out of energy quickly and slow down in the second half.With a pacer，you don't have to think too hard about your pace.You just need to keep up with your pacer.Besides，during the hardest part of the race，pacers support runners by encouraging them.
It's meaningful but hard to be a pacer.Take Li Jun as an example.He began his marathon journey in 2015.Then he became an active runner.Before he became a pacer，he had not only achieved many good results but also got rich experience in running.In 2018，he became a pacer for the first time，leading a group of runners towards a goal time of 3 hours and 30 minutes. "I want to help others achieve goals." Li Jun said.Since then，he has continued to serve as a pacer in many marathons.
Pacers are the real heroes of the marathon.They teach us that with courage and support，everyone can overcome （克服） challenges and reach their dreams.
(1) What are marathon pacers also called？
______
(2) How many pacers are there in a marathon？
______
(3) How do pacers give runners support during the hardest part of the race？
______
(4) What does the writer think of being a pacer in Paragraph 4？
______
(5) Why did Li Jun decide to be a marathon pacer？
______

I'm glad to be here to share my experience with you today.
Last weekend，I took part in a volunteer program at a Children's Home.It was held to spread traditional Chinese culture while bringing warmth，encouragement，and spiritual inspiration to the children there.I chose to introduce a Chinese cartoon called Ne Zha.I chose it for two reasons.First，it teaches kids about courage and justice.Second，its main character challenges fate and never gives up，which can greatly inspire the children.From this program，I learned that small acts of kindness can make a big difference to others and traditional culture can be a powerful tool to encourage and heal young hearts.
That's all!Thank you.
