On a busy afternoon in Hong Kong’s city center, a group of yellow-crested cockatoos (小葵花凤头鹦鹉) fly past tall buildings. These birds are in great danger. Yet, here they are, living in a big city.
These cockatoos firstly came from Indonesia. They were brought to Hong Kong as pets long ago. Some flew away from home or were set free. Surprisingly, they learned to live in the city’s parks, eating fruits and seeds.
Today, Hong Kong has about 200 wild yellow-crested cockatoos. That is around 10% of all such cockatoos in the world. They can live here because the city has many parks with trees, and because the birds are smart and can live for 40 to 60 years. They learn from each other how to live in the city.
A scientist named Astrid Andersson studies these birds. She says Hong Kong’s cockatoos are very important. They show that people and wildlife can live together in a city. They also help keep the birds’ genes (基因) diverse, which is good for their future living.
This story gives us hope. It shows that even in a busy city, we can help protect wild animals. We need to think about nature in our cities and learn to share our space with other living things.
1．What does the passage want to tell us
A．Stories give us hope.
B．The cockatoos came from Indonesia.
C．The cockatoos eat fruits and seeds.
D．We can help protect wild animals even in a busy city.
2．What percent of the world’s yellow-crested cockatoos live in Hong Kong
A．About 5%. B．About 10%.
C．About 40%. D．About 60%.
3．What does the underlined word “diverse” in the fourth paragraph probably mean
A．Few in number.
B．Having many different kinds.
C．Very strong and healthy.
D．Staying the same.
4．What do we know about the cockatoos in Hong Kong
A．They make many problems for city people.
B．They should be moved back to Indonesia immediately.
C．They are important for cockatoos’ future.
D．They are protected well by the people in the world.
The Taklimakan Desert (塔克拉玛干沙漠), which is in the northwest part of China, is the biggest desert in our country. It has been a big worry because it’s really large, about 337, 600 square kilometers and there are a lot of sandstorms that come from it. These sandstorms are very bad for the nature and the way people live around it. So, people started a big project to put a green belt (带) around the desert.
By the end of 2023, a large part of a 2, 761 kilometerlong green belt had already been made around the desert. In 2024, the last 285 kilometers, mostly in the south of the desert where the sandstorms are super bad, were finished. Now the whole Taklimakan Desert has a green belt all around it. This Project has to do with six counties (县) in three parts of Xinjiang.
The building of this green belt used many different scientific ways. For example, the China Railway Construction Development Group (中铁建发展集团) made a system to stop the sand. This system has three main things. There are tall things to stop the sand, squares made of straw (草方格) and wide lines of trees. These things work together well to stop the desert from getting bigger.
When the green belt around the desert was successfully finished, it brought a lot of good things. First, it made the nature around the desert better. There are fewer and not as strong sandstorms now. Second, it kept the farming near the desert safe. So, farmers can grow food more easily. Also, the places where people live in cities and in the countryside are nicer. Because there are fewer sandstorms, there is less harm to the things like roads and buildings, and more people come to visit. So, the local people can make more money from having visitors. This project shows how much China wants to stop the desert from getting worse and make the nature better.

Mother’s Day is a day for people to thank their mothers, but you may not know that there are also many great mothers in the animal world. Let’s have a look.
Elephants’ mothers carry (怀孕) their babies for a long time—20 to 22 months. When the babies are born (出生), they weigh around 200 pounds. And that’s just the start of elephant parenting. Baby elephants can’t see well at first, so they stay close to their mothers for the first few months of their lives.
Orangutans’ (猩猩) mothers are special. For example, they either build a new house or return to an old one every night. Their babies will stay together with their mothers for many years. Baby orangutans depend on (依靠) their mothers longer than any other land animal.
Octopuses (章鱼) lay only once in their lives and can lay up to 200,000 eggs. The mothers protect these eggs for as long as possible. Scientists even saw one deep-sea octopus protecting her eggs for 53 months.
20．If a mother elephant carries a baby in May, 2026, when will she probably give birth to her baby
A．In December, 2026. B．In March, 2027. C．In May, 2027. D．In March, 2028.

One sunny day, the workers of a zoo were facing a difficult problem—the kangaroos ran outside their cage (笼子) again. After much discussion (讨论), they thought that the cage was too short. A worker advised, “Let’s raise the height of the cage from 1 to 2 meters.” Everyone agreed, and that afternoon, they got to work.
However, the next day, the kangaroos were still outside of the cage. So they decided to raise the cage to 3 meters. But the following morning, the kangaroos were still freely going about. The workers decided to go to all lengths and do everything possible to solve (解决) the problem. And this time, they decided to raise the cage to 10 meters.
Later, a giraffe asked a kangaroo, “Do you think they will go on raising your cage ” The kangaroo answered, “If they keep forgetting to close the cage door, they could raise it to a hundred meters, and we would still be out here!”

When the weather changes, people must live and work differently. For farmers, schooling can be of great help.
In northern Kenya (肯尼亚北部), the weather was very hot. Mr. Lolok went to school when he was young. He now works in an office in the city. His brother Lokito never went to school. And he is a farmer all the time. Lolok sometimes helps Lokito keep cows.
Lolok knew about the hot weather. So one day, he told Lokito to give half of his cows to others for money. That way, Lokito could keep the other cows strong with the little water he had. But Lokito wanted to keep all the cows for a second year until the next rain. Then he could give all the cows to others to make more money. In the end, there wasn’t any rain for half a year and half of the cows died (死亡).
In a different area in Kenya, the weather was also hot. Isaiah and his son Philip both grew corn (种植玉米). Isaiah’s corn was only 1 meter tall, but Philip’s was 2.5 meters tall.
Isaiah never went to school. “We can’t do anything,” he said, “We just wish for lucky rain.”
Philip was a good student before. He bought new drought-resistant seeds (抗旱种子). He planted them early before the first rain. Philip told his ways of farming to his father and the other neighbors, but they didn’t listen. Few of them knew what was happening to the weather. They were just making a wish like Isaiah. So they could never get the same tall corn like Philip.

Does happiness matter People have different ideas. Some say there are more important things to care about, while others think happiness is what everyone wants in life. To know this, we first need to understand what happiness really is.
Happiness is about our feelings, but it’s not just a short time of smiling or laughing. It’s how we feel about our life as a whole. Every day, we have many feelings. Feelings like fear and anger can keep us safe. Happy feelings, like joy and hope, help us make friends and solve problems. Being happy doesn’t mean we never feel sad or angry. Everyone has hard times, and these feelings are normal. True happiness is enjoying good times and learning to face difficult times.
Studies show happiness is important for success. Some people think happy people are not hard-working, but studies show the opposite is true. Happy people work better, stay healthier, and have better relationships.
In a study at Warwick University, two groups did the same task. One group watched a happy and funny video first. They did the task 11% better than the other group.
Other studies found the panies with happier workers often do better in business. Young people who were happier as children are usually more successful when they grow up. One reason is that happiness helps children’s brains work better. They can make better choices, like studying first before playing. So happiness can help people succeed, not just come from success.
Of course, happiness can’t solve all problems. Happy people still have troubles, and not all happy people are successful. But happiness makes life better in many ways.
In the end, happiness is more than just a feeling. It helps us succeed, makes our society better, and gives real meaning to life.

A．Happiness is only a moment of joy. B．What true happiness means.
C．It is natural to have different feelings. D．Happiness is not about people’s feelings.

A．Happiness is good for relationships. B．Success leads to better health.
C．Happy people could do better work. D．Hard work makes people successful.
39．Which of the following would the writer most probably agree with
A．Happiness can help people make better decisions.
B．Happiness makes people overcome the bad feelings.
C．A happy childhood can ensure a happier life in adulthood.
D．Happy workers did 11% more work than less happy ones.
40．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To discuss some people’s ideas about happiness. B．To show that happiness is important for us.
C．To compare happy people with others in research. D．To tell us that success is the key to happiness.

In most places in the world, winter brings shorter days and colder weather. At this time of the year, there is usually less food for animals. However, they deal with this problem in different ways.
Some animals save food so that they have it in winter. Squirrels and some kinds of birds keep nuts and seeds in trees and other safe places. Honeybees make enough honey before winter.
To prepare for winter, some animals eat more than they need during the warmer months and store (贮存) the extra (额外的) food as body fat. This fat acts as energy during the cold months. For example, beavers store extra fat to prepare for winter.
One way animals spend the winter is by becoming dormant. These animals may look like they are sleeping, but they are saving energy in this way. Chipmunks (花栗鼠) are less active during the winter. They move very little and only come out sometimes to eat.
Animals like bats and snakes go into a deep sleep called hibernation (冬眠). During hibernation, their body temperature drops and their breathing slows down. This helps them save energy. Some bears also slow down in winter but they do not hibernate fully. Their body temperature does not drop as much, but they can still go months without eating.
Some animals, like wild geese, fly to warmer places. Rabbits grow thicker fur (软毛) to stay warm.
By using these smart ways, animals can live through the hard times of winter.

Dolphins (海豚) are some of the most intelligent animals in the ocean. They live in groups called pods and use special (特殊的) sounds to communicate (交流). Scientists have discovered that dolphins even have their own “names”—unique (特别的) whistle sounds that help them recognize (识别) each other.
There are three main ways dolphins share information. First, they make clicks and whistles to express (表达) emotions like happiness or fear. Second, dolphins touch each other with their fins to show friendship or comfort. For example, a mother dolphin often touches her baby to guide it. Third, they use body movements, like jumping high out of the water, to warn the pod about nearby danger.
Sadly, dolphins face many threats. Pollution (污染) in the ocean makes it hard for them to find clean food. Some fishermen accidentally catch dolphins in their nets. Also, loud noises from ships confuse (使迷惑) dolphins’ communication systems. To protect them, many countries have created marine protected areas where fishing is limited (限制).
How can we help Students can learn about dolphin conservation (保护) and avoid using plastic (塑料的) products that might end up in the ocean. Visiting dolphin-friendly aquariums (水族馆) and supporting responsible tourism are also good ways to make a difference.

“This pair of shoes still looks new. I will take the unglued shoe to the shoe repair stand (修鞋摊) near our community. We can save some money,” Mom said.
I got angry and cried, “No! A repaired shoe looks bad. If my classmates see it, they will laugh at (嘲笑) me!”
“You wear shoes for yourself. Don’t worry too much about what others think,” Mom looked at me and said.
“All right,” I said sadly.
The next day, when Mom brought the shoe back from the shoe repair stand, I looked at it carefully. It was just like a new one! I wore the shoes to school and no one noticed one shoe was repaired.
When I came back from school, I said, “I’m sorry, Mom. It was wrong for me to be so angry with you.”

【导语】本文主要讲述了动物园的工作人员因为袋鼠总是逃出笼子，而不断加高笼子高度的故事。最后袋鼠指出，是因为工作人员总是忘记关笼子门，所以无论笼子多高，它们都能逃出来。
【解析】24．根据第一段中的“One sunny day, the workers of a zoo were facing a difficult problem—the kangaroos ran outside their cage again. After much discussion, they thought that the cage was too short. A worker advised, ‘Let’s raise the height of the cage from 1 to 2 meters.’”可知，动物园的工作人员最初决定加高袋鼠的笼子的高度，是为了阻止袋鼠逃出笼子。

And this time, they decided to raise the cage to 10 meters.”可知，工作人员决定不惜一切代价，尽一切可能解决袋鼠逃出笼子的问题，这次他们决定把笼子加高到10米。由此可推测，go to all lengths意为“竭尽全力，不遗余力”，与try their best意思相近。
26．根据最后一段袋鼠的话“If they keep forgetting to close the cage door, they could raise it to a hundred meters, and we would still be out here!”可知，如果工作人员继续忘记关笼子门，即使他们把笼子加高到100米，袋鼠们仍然可以逃出来。由此可推断，是工作人员忘记关袋鼠笼子的门，才导致袋鼠总是逃出来。

30．从第六段“Philip told his ways of farming to his father and the other neighbors, but they didn’t listen. Few of them knew what was happening to the weather.”中可知，邻居们不了解天气变化，也不听Philip的建议，暗示他们可能没上过学，缺乏相关知识。

65．倒数第二段“‘I want to thank you for being so honest (诚实的),’ said Mrs Maka. ‘This bike is for you.’”说明Mrs Maka因为Mel的诚实，将Mel一直想要的新自行车送给了她，说明诚实会为我们带来幸福和好运气。

【导语】本文讲述了Poppy在拍照日之前的经历：她本想穿新裙子拍完美照片，却意外弄脏裙子、需要戴眼镜，且洗后的裙子缩水。到了拍照日，她发现同学们都有各自的“不完美”，最终明白正是这些差异让每个人独特，拍照日也因此比预期更美好。
【解析】66．根据文中第四段“The next morning, Poppy happily puts on her new dress, but it is small and short. ‘Oh, no!’ she cries. ‘My dress becomes smaller in the wash!’”可知，她的新裙子洗后变小了。
67．根据文中第三段“At the doctor’s office, Poppy worries about her dress. Suddenly, she hears the doctor say, ‘Your glasses are ready.’ Poppy doesn’t want glasses. She hopes she will not have to wear them for Picture Day.”可知，她既担心裙子，又因为要戴眼镜而不开心。
68．根据文章第五段中关于Lei的描写“She has a few missing teeth.”可知，Lei 掉了几颗牙齿。故D项符合题意。其他选项与文中描述不符（Evan是手臂受伤，Rosa是鼻子贴创可贴，Raul是不喜欢发型）。
69．根据文章第三段“Poppy doesn’t want glasses.”可知她起初不喜欢眼镜；再根据第六段 “Poppy leaves her glasses on.”可知她最后决定戴着眼镜拍照。这体现了她态度的转变。
70．文章通过Poppy的经历以及同学们的各种“不完美”，最后在第六段点明主题“They all have their differences, and that is what makes them unusual.”因此故事主旨是每个人都是不同的，差异让我们特别。

【导语】本文介绍了中国国宝大熊猫的外形、栖息地、饮食特点，以及熊猫作为国家名片租借至海外的情况。文章同时指出熊猫如今生存处境危急，呼吁大家保护森林、守护大熊猫。
【解析】71．第三段内容“Bamboo is pandas’ main food…but they still need to drink clean water from mountain rivers every day.”可知本段主要讲述了大熊猫的食物和饮水情况。
72．第四段“To let people around the world learn about pandas, China sends pandas to other countries on loan.”说明中国通过将熊猫租借给其他国家来帮助外国人了解熊猫。
73．最后一段“But pandas are now in great danger. People cut down bamboo forests. Pandas are losing their homes and don’t have enough food to eat.”说明大熊猫正处于危险之中，森林被砍伐，为了拯救熊猫，我们需要保护森林。protect意为“保护”，符合语境。
74．通读全文可知，文章介绍了大熊猫的习性、现状以及面临的危险，最后呼吁保护熊猫和森林，因此最佳主题是动物保护。

【导语】本文讲述了作者的运动鞋开胶后，妈妈选择修补而非购买新鞋，作者从一开始生气、在意他人眼光，到后来理解妈妈并学会道理的故事。
【解析】75．根据文章第二段妈妈说的话“We can save some money”，可知妈妈不同意买新鞋而选择修鞋的主要原因是为了省钱。
76．根据上下文，“the front part of one shoe came unglued” 指鞋子的前端部分“unglued”，结合后文提到的“shoe repair stand（修鞋摊）”，可知这个词的意思是 “开胶的”。
77．根据文章第七段作者对妈妈说“I'm sorry, Mom”以及第九段说“Thanks for the life lesson, Mom”，可知鞋子修好后，作者感到抱歉并感谢妈妈。
78．文章的主要冲突是作者担心修鞋会被同学嘲笑，妈妈多次教导“Don’t worry too much about what others think”，第八段妈妈总结教训时也首先提到这一点，这是作者学到的核心道理。
79．根据文章第八段妈妈总结的教训“Never say ‘no’ too quickly. Also, saving money is a good habit.”，作者最后表示感谢并接受了教训，因此未来会学会省钱且不轻易对事物下判断。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和朋友上周日去公园野餐、划船时，Micheal因不听劝阻伸手抓鱼而落水，最终被救起的故事，传递了要听取善意劝告的道理。
【解析】80．第一段提到“I went to a park for a picnic with four of my friends.”，作者加上四位朋友，一共五人。
81．第二段提到“But he didn’t listen to us and leaned out to catch the fish. In the end, he fell into the lake.”，所以Micheal落水是因为他从船上探身去抓鱼。
82．第二段开头“After the picnic, we went boating on the lake.”→先野餐②，再划船①；接着“leaned out to catch the fish. In the end, he fell into the lake.”→落水③；最后“spent the rest of the day on the grassland, enjoying the sunlight.”→在草地享受阳光④。顺序为：②①③④。
83．第二段提到“We told him it was not safe and asked him not to do that. But he didn’t listen to us and leaned out to catch the fish. In the end, he fell into the lake.”，Micheal不听朋友“不安全”的劝阻，最终落水，说明我们应该听取朋友善意的劝告。
84．文章讲述了难忘的一天，并且从中得到了要听取劝告的教训，所以“An Unforgettable Day with a Lesson（带着教训的难忘一天）”最适合作为标题。

【导语】本文主要介绍了TikTok被封禁后美用户入驻小红书，以“猫咪税”交友促进文化交流的故事。
【解析】85．根据第一段第一句“Recently, many American users have joined Xiaohongshu after TikTok was banned.”可知，美国用户来到小红书是因为TikTok被封禁了。
86．单词“tax”的本意是“税、税款”。虽然文中指代的是分享照片这一玩笑行为，但就单词本身的中文含义而言，对应的是“税款”。文中也用了“pay”（支付）来呼应这一概念。
87．根据空格后的句子“They do this to talk to Chinese users. They happily show pictures...”可知，这里的“They”指的是美国新用户，且他们很乐意这样做。空格前说这只是个玩笑，空格处应表示转折，说明美国用户很喜欢这个活动。
88．根据第二段“sharing pictures of their cats is a way to greet”以及第三段“Cat tax is just a joke”，“猫咪税”是一个关于分享宠物照片的玩笑，并非真的购买宠物、强制收费或者仅允许猫主人使用。
89．文章主要讲述了美国用户通过“猫咪税”与中国用户互动，从而增进友谊和文化交流的故事。最后一段也提到这是“make new friends”的好方法。选项B“分享猫咪，结交朋友”最能概括文章主旨。
