Running is my favorite sport, and it has taught me more than just how to stay healthy. When I first started running in Grade 7, I could hardly finish a 800-meter race. I would get out of breath quickly. My legs would ache, and I always wanted to give up halfway. But my PE teacher told me, “Slow progress is still progress. Keep going, and you will surprise yourself.”
I took his words to heart. Every morning, I got up 30 minutes early to run around the school playground. At first, I only ran 500 meters, then 800 meters, and finally 1,000 meters. I learned to control my breath, set small goals, and push through the tiredness. Last month, I joined the school’s 1,500-meter running race. When the starting gun went off, I felt nervous but excited. I ran at my own pace (节奏). When I felt like stopping, I thought of all the early mornings I had trained.
I didn’t win first place, but I finished the race with my best time ever. My classmates cheered for me loudly, and I felt so proud. Running has taught me that the most important thing is not to win, but to keep trying and never give up. It has made me stronger, both in body and in mind. I will keep running, and I know I will do better next time.

What do young people like to do in their free time If you think they are all playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong. In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different — “grandma hobbies. “
“Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them.
Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours — a habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully engrossed.” Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen.
These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weare as an example, a 31-year-old blacksmith (铁匠 ) — people now wait a year for her handmade products.
So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the newest cool thing to do!

On 12 August 2024, a 20-year-old student from the UK had an accident. He was in Suzhou for a summer exchange programme at a university. He could hardly breathe and was unconscious (失去知觉的). Someone called 120 right away.

One night, my older brother Tommy and I started fighting in the kitchen. He said I was weak (虚弱的) and silly. I felt really hurt, so I ran to my room and shut the door. I sat on my bed and cried.
About 20 minutes later, I heard Mom walking outside. She knocked on my door and asked in a low voice, “Kevin, do you want to talk with me ” I didn’t answer. I was too sad to speak. She tried again. Still, I said nothing.
Then I saw a piece of paper slip under my door. It said, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.” I read it but still didn’t want to reply. I just sat in the dark, feeling sad.
Half an hour later, I finally picked up a pen. I wrote down everything that was in my heart. My note said, “No one in this family loves me. I am not the youngest or the oldest, and I am not the smartest. Tommy thinks I am too weak, and Dad wishes he had another Kevin who is better at basketball. You’re never around to even notice me.” I pushed the note out under the door.
Soon, Mom wrote back: “Kevin, I do love you, and everyone in this family loves you.”
I was still crying softly. A few minutes later, I wrote another note: “Thanks!” She asked, “For what ” I replied, “For loving me.”

People usually feel excited when they go on vacation. But most people feel blue when coming home after travelling. And this feeling is called post-vacation blues. If you feel blue after travelling, here are some ways to help you get out of this bad feeling.
Give yourself a week to relax first. You don’t need to think what to do next and just be relaxed. You can show your pet some love if you have one, watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music.
After a week, do something useful and keep yourself busy. For example, when I came back from Europe, I felt blue because I didn’t have a job and was living with my parents. So I decided to find a job and make myself busy. If you don’t need a job, just try something like painting your room or tidying your house. You can also do exercise, learn to cook, visit your friends and just do anything you want!
It’s also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip. Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had. And you can plan to take another trip. Just like Elbert Hubbard said, “No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.”
Next time when you feel blue, remember to try these ways. You’ll find going back to the real life is not so terrible as you think.

A．Buying a new pet. B．Painting your room.

B．To prove that the writer is full of rich knowledge

Among all the natural wonders in the world, Lake Baikal in Russia always impresses me the most. It is not just a lake, but a gift from nature. It is full of beauty and secrets.
Lake Baikal is one of the oldest lakes on Earth. It is about 25 million (百万) years old. It is also the deepest freshwater lake in the world. It is 1,637 meters deep. The lake looks like a crescent (新月形的) moon. Its water is very clear. You can see small fish swimming under the water. In summer, the lake looks like a huge blue mirror. It shows the green mountains around it. In winter, the lake freezes. Everything turns white and blue.
What makes Lake Baikal really unique is its rich ecosystem. It is home to over 1,700 kinds of plants and animals. Two-thirds of them cannot be found in other places. For example, the Baikal seal (海豹) only lives here. The lake also gives clean water to millions of people nearby. It helps control the local weather.
People from all over the world come to visit Lake Baikal every year. They enjoy the beautiful views. They take boat trips on the lake. They walk along the side of the lake.

Dear Li Hua,
How’s everything going I’m now studying in Canada and I’m having a great time here. I’ve experienced many interesting cultural differences. One thing is about table manners. Here, people usually use knives and forks to eat. When we have dinner together, we don’t start eating until everyone is served. Also, we say “bless you” when someone sneezes. It’s a polite way here. Another thing is about festivals. Last week, I celebrated Thanksgiving with my host family. We had a big dinner and gave thanks for what we have. It was really warm and meaningful. I’ve also tried to communicate with local people. At first, I was afraid of making mistakes, but they were very patient and friendly. Now, I feel much more confident. I’m looking forward to sharing more with you when I come back.
Yours,
Wang Ming

Around the world, people have different ideas about what good table manners are. In India, for example, people only eat with their right hands. And their left hand stays still. Eating with your left hand is very rude!
In western countries, people do not usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his or her own plate of food. You eat with a knife and fork and you should not wave (挥) them around when you are not eating. And you should try not to be noisy when eating.
When you go to some restaurants in different parts of the world, it is important to know what people think is rude. For example, in China it is OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant is not noisy, you may think it is not very good. However, in many western countries, restaurants are quiet places. If a table is too noisy, other customers might not be happy.
Paying for the meal is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. This is called “going Dutch”. When westerners pay the check, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip”. Not leaving a tip is very rude. In the U. S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15% or 20% of the check.

They moved through the water, avoiding the heavy hoofs (蹄).
“It’s hard to find a better home,” Pip said. “Why did we ever leave the one we had ” Just then, a huge balloon came close and caught the two up in its rope. Blowing with the wind, they flew through the air and turned across the land, past the watering hole, the sandy hill and the great field.

At the Westonaria agricultural park in South Africa, farm workers are busy planting vegetables. But there’s silence around the park. That’s because most people here are deaf and communicate in sign language. They’re members of the Voiceout Deaf, farming project started by Matebogo Victoria.
Victoria has hearing problems herself, so she understands the challenges deaf people face. While studying at the university, she had to take classes with a hearing partner to help her understand and communicate with her teachers.
Victoria used to work for a bank. After she saw a lot of deaf people staying at home and unemployed (失业的), she hoped to do something to help. “Communication is the biggest challenge in the deaf community,” she said. “There are 44 schools for the deaf across South Africa. Many of the deaf either don’t finish school or don’t have enough money to travel far to go to one of the schools.” After careful consideration, Victoria left her job and started an agricultural business to help deaf people gain farming skills and get jobs matching their skills.
As part of Voiceout Deaf, farmers-in-training work on three different farms. Most of them use sign language, making communication easy. Although each farm is a learning environment, it’s also a workplace and a business. The farmers get paid for their work, and their produce sells very well.
Sibongile Maake is one of the farm workers. “I’m delighted with the work on the farm. I’m working slowly but surely, and I’m learning while making money. I can do things by myself. I am able to pay for things I need,” she said.
63．Why did Victoria start the project
A．To remind herself that life is hard for the deaf.
B．To enable the deaf to learn farming and get a job.
C．To show that deaf people can plant vegetables.
D．To help the deaf across South Africa to go to school.
64．What is right about Voiceout Deaf
A．They draw pictures to communicate with others.
B．Farmers work for free in exchange for lessons.
C．It’s just a moving classroom for the deaf people.
D．People like buying what they grow on the farm.
65．What is the correct order of the following events
①Victoria got a job opportunity at a bank.
②Victoria launched the farming project.

Living in a city for one day with just one yuan seems impossible, but 60 students from Xi’an accepted this challenge. The “One Yuan Metropolis Survival” activity tested students’ living skills while raising money for charity. This event has happened in eight cities and is going to four others including Beijing in May.
To face challenges, some students thought of many ways to earn money. They looked for part-time jobs. Zhang Qiyue who is 14 years old asked more than 10 restaurants for a job before finally getting a job as a waiter. “I felt worried when refused, but I got used to it slowly,” he said. After working for eight hours in a day, he earned 200 yuan.
Others made use of their artistic abilities in public. Zhao Jiacheng, another 14-year-old student, successfully sold his handmade paper crafts and drawings. “This experience showed that it’s important to develop a special skill,” he said.
The money from this event will help poor schools in Tibet. As the activity spreads to more cities, students learn important lessons about never giving up and being creative. This challenge shows that with hard work and skills, young people can solve difficult problems.

A．4 cities. B．12 cities. C．8 cities. D．10 cities.

A．Art skills are useless in real life. B．Public performances are useful.
C．Special talents can help earn money. D．Handicrafts are easy to make for him.

本文为记叙文，讲述作者七年级开始练习跑步，坚持训练完成长跑比赛，收获成长与人生感悟的事情。
1．第一段第二句“When I first started running in Grade 7”直接点明作者是在七年级开始跑步的。
2．第一段最后一句“But my PE teacher told me, ‘Slow progress is still progress. Keep going, and you will surprise yourself.’”说明是体育老师鼓励作者坚持、不要放弃，并非妈妈和同学。
3．结合第二段第四句中的“I learned to control my breath, set small goals”和“the tiredness.”以及坚持训练的上下文语境可知，此处表示通过跑步学会了控制自己的呼吸，设定小目标，并克服疲惫。此处“push through”表示“克服”，与get over同义。

5．最后一段第三句的“Running has taught me that the most important thing is not to win, but to keep trying and never give up.”说明尾段主要介绍作者从跑步中明白的道理，而非跑步技巧或获胜的意义。

本文主要介绍了年轻人中流行的“奶奶爱好”——刺绣、园艺等传统活动。
6．第二段指出“‘Grandma hobbies’ is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint and gardening.”，所以“grandma hobbies”指的是刺绣、园艺这类传统的、令人愉悦的活动。
7．第三段指出“She used to work long hours in banking…To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint.”，Emma开始刺绣是为了改变自己沉迷手机的生活方式。
8．第三段中最后一句“Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen.”可知，这个喜好让她们沉浸其中，engrossed意为“全神贯注的；专心致志的”。
9．第四段指出“These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful.”以及全文内容可知，作者主要想告诉我们：“Grandma hobbies” 能帮助年轻人放松、找到乐趣。
10．B 11．C 12．C 13．A 14．A
本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一名英国交换生在苏州突发意外，在多方及时、正确的急救下成功获救的故事。
10．第一段指出：“He could hardly breathe and was unconscious (失去知觉的).”，这直接说明了学生当时的状况是几乎无法呼吸且失去了知觉。
11．原文第一段提到 “Someone called 120 right away.”，对应事件②；第二段提到 “Yang and another doctor taught a person who was there to do CPR on the student.”，对应事件①；第三段提到 “When the ambulance came, the student was put on an electronic CPR machine on the way to the hospital.”，对应事件③；后续抵达医院继续救治，对应事件④，因此正确顺序为②①③④。
12．第三段说明：“Thanks to the proper treatment, he got better fast.”，这直接点明学生能快速康复的原因是得到了及时且恰当的治疗。
13．第五段中划线词“launched”所在句：“We launched a programme to use it in our hospital in July.”，结合上下文语境，此处指医院在七月“启动/开办”了这个线上急救项目，与“Started（启动）”的含义一致。
14．第五段中Lu医生提到：“The online first aid platform was especially important for saving him.”，这直接说明了对拯救这名学生而言，线上急救平台起到了尤其关键的作用。

16．根据第一段“One sunny Monday…”，可知那天周一的天气是晴朗的。选项B符合题意。
17．根据第二段“She thought the traffic light would stay green, but it turned yellow suddenly. A car was turning left, and the driver didn’t see her. Before Kate could stop, her bike hit the car’s side.”，可知事故发生时交通灯是黄色的。选项C符合题意。

本文主要讲述凯文和哥哥打架后伤心地把自己关在房间里，妈妈尝试通过写纸条的方式与他沟通。凯文在纸条中表达了自己感觉不被爱的痛苦，妈妈回复说全家人都爱他。从那以后，家人之间更懂得关心彼此。
20．第一段“...my older brother Tommy and I started fighting...I felt really hurt, so I ran to my room and...cried.”，说明让他伤心的是“和哥哥打架”。
21．第三段“Then I saw a piece of paper slip under my door. It said, ‘If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.’”，纸条从门缝下面被塞进来，动作应是“轻轻地、悄悄地放入”。
22．第二段“She knocked on my door and asked in a low voice, ‘Kevin, do you want to talk with me ’”，一开始妈妈试图用“面对面说话”与凯文沟通。
23．第四段“‘No one in this family loves me...You’re never around to even notice me.’”，从凯文的长纸条中我们能了解到“他觉得自己在家里不被爱”。
24．本文核心是通过写纸条的方式，母子之间进行了交心沟通，解决了内心的痛苦。所以最佳标题应是“纸条上的交心谈话”。
25．A 26．D 27．C

26．文章第四段先建议制作相册、规划下一次旅行，随后引用名人名言，由此可知作者引用这句话是为了佐证解释规划下次旅行能让人心情变好，其余选项不符合文章表达意图，因此该项正确。
27．文章第一段引出节后低落情绪并引出解决办法，第二、三、四段依次介绍缓解低落情绪的具体方式，最后一段总结建议大家尝试这些方法调整心态，整体采用总起、分述、总结的行文思路，文章结构为①/②③④/⑤。
28．B 29．B 30．D
本文介绍了世界最高峰珠穆朗玛峰、世界最长河流尼罗河以及世界最大沙漠撒哈拉沙漠的地理位置、相关数据和特征。
28．根据“8,848.86 metres high, over 200 metres higher than K2 (乔戈里峰), the world’s second highest mountain.”可知8848.86 200≈8648米，乔戈里峰高度约为8648米。
29．根据“The Longest River—the Nile…in northeastern Africa”和“The Largest Desert—the Sahara…in the north of Africa.”可知它们都在非洲，这是它们的共同点。
30．全文介绍山脉、河流、沙漠的地理相关知识，属于地理事实范畴，因此会出现在报纸的地理事实板块。
31．B 32．B 33．C 34．D 35．D
本文是一篇说明文，介绍俄罗斯贝加尔湖的历史、地理特征、独特生态系统，以及人们对它的游览体验，呼吁保护这一自然奇观。

32．第三段“What makes Lake Baikal really unique…in other places.”，“unique”后提到湖中有1700多种动植物，三分之二是独有物种，如贝加尔海豹，结合语境“unique”意为“特殊的（Special）”。
33．第三段“For example, the Baikal seal only lives here”，举贝加尔海豹的例子是为了说明“仅生活在此的动物”。
34．第四段先讲人们来贝加尔湖的原因是欣赏美景，再讲他们的活动，如乘船、散步，最后点出感受“体会自然的力量”，核心是“人们为何来及在此的感受”。
35．文章前四段介绍贝加尔湖的特点，最后一段呼吁“保护贝加尔湖是我们的责任”，因此写作目的是“介绍贝加尔湖并呼吁保护”。
36．C 37．A 38．B 39．C 40．D
本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者乔治在中学时经历的一次强烈地震，包括地震发生时的场景、地震后的状况以及作者从这次经历中获得的感悟。
36．第一段提到：“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving.” 这表明当地面开始震动时，乔治正在教室里认真听老师讲课。
37．第四段提到：“Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family.” 结合前文描述地震造成很多破坏，以及后文很多人失去家园和家人，可推测出“collapsed”意思是“倒塌”，与“Fell down”意思相符。
38．第二段提到：“When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground.” 结合前文第一段“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying.”以及第三段“My house suffered some damage (损坏).”可知，先是乔治认真听老师讲课，然后同学们开始喊叫哭泣，接着老师带学生去操场，最后乔治看到房子受损。所以顺序是③②④①。
39．第一段提到：“I was scared and even thought of the end of the world.” 说明乔治一开始很害怕；第三段提到：“But I felt happy that we were all safe.” 说明看到大家都安全后他很高兴；第四段提到：“I was sad to hear that.” 说明听到很多人失去家园和家人他很伤心；最后一段提到：“I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now.” 说明他现在对安全更有希望了。所以乔治的感情变化是scared→happy→sad→hopeful。
40．最后一段提到：“Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters.” 这表明乔治从这次事件中学到了为自然灾害做好准备的重要性。
41．D 42．C 43．B 44．A 45．C
本文讲述了作者和Maria在骑自行车途中遭遇龙卷风，被一位女士救下并成功躲避风暴的经历。
41．第一段指出：“Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride”，说明作者当时在骑自行车。
42．前文描述天气恶化（第二段“a big storm was moving our way” “Dark clouds rolled up”），后文提到天气进一步恶化（第三段“The temperature fell suddenly” “the sky had now turned dark green”），因此空缺处应填“things got worse”。
43．第二段指出：“By noon, we knew a big storm was moving our way. Dark clouds rolled up out of the southwest.”，乌云密布是龙卷风来临前最先发生的事情。
44．故事顺序为：第一段“Maria and I had a 30-mile bike ride”（②骑车出发）→第二段“a big storm was moving our way”（③风暴逼近）→第四段“‘Get in!’ She looked afraid...we did as she said”（⑤进入女士的车）→第四段“Ice...hit the windows of the car”（④冰雹砸车窗）→第五段“She drove fast...There’s an overpass ahead...We’ll stay under it”（①开车到桥下），因此正确顺序为②③⑤④①。
45．最后一段指出：“We were shaken but excited.”，说明他们虽害怕但兴奋。
46．B 47．C 48．B 49．A 50．D
本文是王明写给李华的一封信，主要写了王明在加拿大学习期间，亲身经历并感受到的文化差异，同时讲述了自己从初时害怕犯错到逐渐自信、与当地人友好相处的经历，传递出在异国文化融合中的成长与感悟。
46．根据“I’m now studying in Canada and I’m having a great time here.”可知，王明现在在加拿大。
47．根据“Here, people usually use knives and forks to eat.”可知，在加拿大，人们用刀和叉吃饭。
48．根据“Last week, I celebrated Thanksgiving with my host family.”可知，上周王明过了感恩节。
49．根据“At first, I was afraid of making mistakes”可知，王明刚开始与当地人交流的时候很害怕犯错。
50．信件核心是分享在加拿大的经历、感受，而非抱怨，邀请或求助，故选D。
51．D 52．B 53．B 54．D 55．D
本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了世界各地不同的餐桌礼仪和用餐习惯。文章通过对比印度、西方国家（如美国）和中国在饮食方式、餐厅氛围及付账习惯上的差异，揭示了文化背景对人们日常行为的影响。
51．第二段提到：“In western countries, people do not usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his or her own plate of food.”这直接说明西方人习惯各自吃自己盘子里的食物。
52．第一段中提到：“In India, for example, people only eat with their right hands. And their left hand stays still.”，结合上下文，“still”在此处意为“不动的”，强调左手不参与进食动作。
53．最后一段指出：“In the U.S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15% or 20% of the check.”，若账单为300美元，则小费可能为30美元、45美元或60美元。
54．根据全文内容：西方国家普遍有小费文化，给小费是礼貌行为。
55．全文围绕不同国家的用餐礼仪展开，包括饮食方式、餐厅氛围、付账习惯等，因此最佳标题应为“Table Manners”（餐桌礼仪），而非仅聚焦于“付账”或“小费”。
56．A 57．C 58．B 59．C
本文讲述了草原犬鼠Puff和兔子Pip因他人的建议离开家去寻找更好的住处，历经波折后发现原来的家才是最好的故事。

57．前文马的话指出“How can you live in this dry, dusty place You should go out and see the world. You might find a better home.”，他们听完马的话后，开始觉得原来的家不再像以前那么好了，由此可推断，是他人的话语让他们对自己原本的生活产生了不满。
58．文章按照时间顺序，依次讲述了他们离开家、外出寻找住处、遇到危险、最终被气球送回家的过程，是按事件发生的先后顺序来叙述的。
59．故事的核心是他们经历波折后意识到，自己原来的家才是最好的，“家是心之所在”最能概括文章主旨。

61．第四段提到“he couldn’t sleep well because he dreamed of people’s problems every night. As a result, his health deteriorated.”，结合上下文，睡不好会导致健康变差，因此“deteriorated”意为“变差、变坏”，对应B选项。
