A
In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening. Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see. These are not just solar panels—they are part of China’s plan to turn deserts into energy factories.
In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030. But these panels turn out to do more than producing power. The shadow they provide has slowed down water evaporation, allowing plants like grass to grow in the desert. Over the past five years, the area that was 98% sand now has up to 80% plant coverage. This not only stops sandstorms but also creates habitats for animals like goats and birds.
Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels. Standing 1.2 metres high, they act like huge umbrellas. The shadow they provide protects the sheep from the burning heat in summer, while the space under the panels grows fresh grass. This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income.
This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina, a solar farm built with China’s help now provides power for 100,000 homes and brings in money for local farmers. In Saudi Arabia, plans are in progress to build solar farms in deserts using methods developed in China. Even African nations like Namibia are practicing Chinese solar technology to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil.
From deserts to farms, China’s solar revolution offers a possibility of sustainable (可持续的) development. As the sun sets over the Gobi Desert, the panels continue their quiet work—a reminder that the future of energy might just be written in sunlight and sand.
1. How does the author introduce the topic
A．By telling a story. B．By giving a definition. C．By listing numbers. D．By describing a scene.
2. What is the purpose of the Solar Great Wall
A．Covering the desert. B．Producing green energy. C．Reducing water loss. D．Protecting desert animals.
3. What has been achieved by using solar panels in Qinghai
A．Herders there have earned more money than before.
B．Grass under the panels has grown to 1.2 metres high.
C．The sheep have got more sunshine in high mountains.
D．The production of wool has nearly doubled in the area.
4. Why does the author mention China’s help to other countries in paragraph 4
A．To criticize the use of fossil fuels worldwide. B．To doubt the effectiveness of the local success.
C．To show the technology’s use around the world. D．To admit the common efforts by other countries.
5. Which is the best title for the article
A．Turning deserts into green forests. B．Fighting sandstorms with sunlight.
C．Solar revolution: experience of China. D．Sunlight and sand: stories of the desert.

B
Are you a fan of spending your lunch breaks in a park Or do you walk your dog in a park Well, we have good news: spending just 20 minutes in a park every day will make you happier and less stressed.
New studies have suggested the benefits of spending time in parks. Researcher Mary Carol Hunter said, “For lowering levels of the stress, you should spend 20 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature. You don’t have to travel to the wild lands. Getting out of an office block and sitting next to a tree can be enough.”
A study from University of Alabama found people who visited their local urban parks felt happier. Researcher Hon Yuen sai, “We did not find levels of physical activity are related to improved emotional well being (幸福；健康). Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well being.” The results are perhaps unsurprising—many studies have stressed the benefits of nature on a person’s mental health. Therefore, nature-based activities can contribute to decreasing stress level.
King’s College London researchers found being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, and feeling in contact with nature were related with higher levels of mental well being. Another research suggested that children growing up with greener surroundings have 55% less risk of developing mental diseases.
All of these studies mention the need for designing greener cities for the future and protecting our existing parks. “There is increasing pressure on green space in cities,” said Gavin Jearan, co-author of the urban parks study. “I am worried because developers look to replace green space with tall buildings. The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearing of these spaces.”
1. Which one does Mary Carol Hunter agree to most
A．We need to stay outdoors playing sports.
B．We should do exercise in the park every day.
C．We must go to wild lands to get your stress level lowered.
D．We should get out of an office building and sit next to a tree to relax yourself.
2. What does the underlined word “contribute to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．be compared with B．be harmful to
C．have a positive effect on D．have nothing to do with
3. According to the study of King’s College London researchers, what kind of activities can we do to improve the level of our mental well being
① walking or sitting in the park ② hearing songs indoors ③ seeing plants
④ reading books ⑤ chatting with others ⑥ being involved with nature
A．①②③ B．①③⑥ C．④⑤⑥ D．③④⑤
4. What is the structure of this passage
A． B． C． D．
5. What is Gavin Jearan’s attitude towards the disappearing of green spaces
A．Concerned. B．Supportive. C．Positive. D．Approval.

C
A 7-year-old Chinese boy Junjun, with end-stage heart failure has become the world’s youngest patient to
receive a magnetically levitated biventricular assist device—the world’s smallest artificial heart, developed by a
Shenzhen-based company.
Current heart surgeries face a severe problem: there is a huge shortage of donated hearts in China. Junjun was
diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy in 2024 and suffered severe cardiogenic shock. Doctors could not find a
matching donor heart in time, so they decided to use the artificial heart to keep him alive.
The artificial heart weighs only 45 grams and is 2.9 cm in diameter—50% lighter than existing models. A
team of doctors led by Dong Nianguo performed a five-hour implantation surgery in Wuhan. The next day, Junjun
could breathe on his own and eat small amounts of food. “The artificial heart allows him to wait for a suitable heart
donation without the risk of heart failure,” said Dr. Dong.
The device, co-developed by Shenzhen Core Medical Technology Co. Ltd, has low energy consumption and a
long battery life. It can function for up to six months without recharging. Scientists are now working to improve
the artificial heart to treat more children with heart diseases.
21. What is the main problem in current heart surgeries in China
A. Artificial hearts are too expensive for most patients.
B. There is a severe shortage of donated hearts.
C. Doctors lack the skills to perform heart implantation.
D. Donated hearts are often rejected by patients’ bodies.
22. What impact did the artificial heart surgery have on Junjun
A. It cured his heart disease completely.
B. It allowed him to wait for a matching donor heart.
C. It made him need to stay in the hospital forever.
D. It replaced his damaged heart permanently.
23. What are scientists doing now to improve the artificial heart
A. Making it larger to fit adult patients.
B. Reducing its battery life to cut costs.
C. Adapting it for more children with heart diseases.
D. Stopping research because it is too successful.
24. What does the underlined word “function” mean in the passage
A. Work. B. Rest. C. Break. D. Change.
25. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Boy’s Fight Against Heart Disease B. Heart Donation Shortage in China
C. Shenzhen Develops New Medical Technology D. World’s Smallest Artificial Heart Saves Boy
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C 24. A 25. D

In the dry deserts in northwest China, something amazing is happening. Land that was once covered in sand and almost lifeless now has rows of shiny black solar panels (太阳能板) stretching as far as the eye can see. These are not just solar panels—they are part of China’s plan to turn deserts into energy factories.
In Inner Mongolia, a project called the Solar Great Wall covers a large area of desert. It aims to produce enough electricity to light up several major cities in eastern China by 2030. But these panels turn out to do more than producing power. The shadow they provide has slowed down water evaporation, allowing plants like grass to grow in the desert. Over the past five years, the area that was 98% sand now has up to 80% plant coverage. This not only stops sandstorms but also creates habitats for animals like goats and birds.
Meanwhile, in the high mountains of Qinghai, herders (牧民) also benefit from solar panels. Standing 1.2 metres high, they act like huge umbrellas. The shadow they provide protects the sheep from the burning heat in summer, while the space under the panels grows fresh grass. This harmonious mixture of traditional herding and modern technology allows herders to sell wool and electricity as well, with many nearly doubling their income.
This success is not just local. Chinese companies are sharing their ideas worldwide. In Argentina, a solar farm built with China’s help now provides power for 100,000 homes and brings in money for local farmers. In Saudi Arabia, plans are in progress to build solar farms in deserts using methods developed in China. Even African nations like Namibia are practicing Chinese solar technology to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels like coal and oil.
From deserts to farms, China’s solar revolution offers a possibility of sustainable (可持续的) development. As the sun sets over the Gobi Desert, the panels continue their quiet work—a reminder that the future of energy might just be written in sunlight and sand.

Are you a fan of spending your lunch breaks in a park Or do you walk your dog in a park Well, we have good news: spending just 20 minutes in a park every day will make you happier and less stressed.
New studies have suggested the benefits of spending time in parks. Researcher Mary Carol Hunter said, “For lowering levels of the stress, you should spend 20 minutes sitting or walking in a place that provides you with a sense of nature. You don’t have to travel to the wild lands. Getting out of an office block and sitting next to a tree can be enough.”
A study from University of Alabama found people who visited their local urban parks felt happier. Researcher Hon Yuen sai, “We did not find levels of physical activity are related to improved emotional well being (幸福；健康). Instead, we found time spent in the park is related to improved emotional well being.” The results are perhaps unsurprising—many studies have stressed the benefits of nature on a person’s mental health. Therefore, nature-based activities can contribute to decreasing stress level.
King’s College London researchers found being outdoors, seeing trees, hearing birdsong, and feeling in contact with nature were related with higher levels of mental well being. Another research suggested that children growing up with greener surroundings have 55% less risk of developing mental diseases.
All of these studies mention the need for designing greener cities for the future and protecting our existing parks. “There is increasing pressure on green space in cities,” said Gavin Jearan, co-author of the urban parks study. “I am worried because developers look to replace green space with tall buildings. The challenge facing cities is that there is increasing evidence about the value of city parks but we continue to see the disappearing of these spaces.”
1. Which one does Mary Carol Hunter agree to most
A．We need to stay outdoors playing sports. B．We should do exercise in the park every day.
C．We must go to wild lands to get your stress level lowered.
D．We should get out of an office building and sit next to a tree to relax yourself.
2. What does the underlined word “contribute to” in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A．be compared with B．be harmful to C．have a positive effect on D．have nothing to do with

A 7-year-old Chinese boy Junjun, with end-stage heart failure has become the world’s youngest patient to
receive a magnetically levitated biventricular assist device—the world’s smallest artificial heart, developed by a
Shenzhen-based company.
Current heart surgeries face a severe problem: there is a huge shortage of donated hearts in China. Junjun was
diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy in 2024 and suffered severe cardiogenic shock. Doctors could not find a
matching donor heart in time, so they decided to use the artificial heart to keep him alive.
The artificial heart weighs only 45 grams and is 2.9 cm in diameter—50% lighter than existing models. A
team of doctors led by Dong Nianguo performed a five-hour implantation surgery in Wuhan. The next day, Junjun
could breathe on his own and eat small amounts of food. “The artificial heart allows him to wait for a suitable heart
donation without the risk of heart failure,” said Dr. Dong.
The device, co-developed by Shenzhen Core Medical Technology Co. Ltd, has low energy consumption and a
long battery life. It can function for up to six months without recharging. Scientists are now working to improve
the artificial heart to treat more children with heart diseases.
21. What is the main problem in current heart surgeries in China
A. Artificial hearts are too expensive for most patients.
B. There is a severe shortage of donated hearts.
C. Doctors lack the skills to perform heart implantation.
D. Donated hearts are often rejected by patients’ bodies.
22. What impact did the artificial heart surgery have on Junjun
A. It cured his heart disease completely.
B. It allowed him to wait for a matching donor heart.
C. It made him need to stay in the hospital forever.
D. It replaced his damaged heart permanently.
23. What are scientists doing now to improve the artificial heart
A. Making it larger to fit adult patients.
B. Reducing its battery life to cut costs.
C. Adapting it for more children with heart diseases.
D. Stopping research because it is too successful.
24. What does the underlined word “function” mean in the passage
A. Work. B. Rest. C. Break. D. Change.
25. What is the best title for the passage
A. A Boy’s Fight Against Heart Disease B. Heart Donation Shortage in China
