After ten years in London，I recently relocated to Berlin，and as is customary when making new friends，the question"Where are you from？"tends to come up.My honest answer would be，"I don't really know."
The truth is，most of us TCKs （Third Culture Kids）—a term coined to describe"children who move between cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity"—had no choice growing up but to follow our parents around the world.We' d often be told，"Pack your bags，kids.We' re moving!"and in the blink of an eye，everything would change.
By the time I was 18，I had changed schools 10 times，moved countries at least 6 times，acquired a confusing accent，and developed both a love of travel and a desire for stability.Being an Indonesian-Italian，I often felt an identity crisis weighing on me in my teens.
Moving to a new country after spending ten years in the UK—the longest I have lived anywhere—has brought back feelings of this cultural confusion.Growing up as a TCK isn't as charming as many people would expect.It is both a blessing and a curse （诅咒），beautiful but unpredictable，and full of adventures.This lack of roots and stability will likely cause issues later in life.
Yet kids are adaptable.After overcoming culture shock，you start to adjust and see the bigger picture.You learn that the world is much bigger than you，and that your problems are small.You also learn responsibility，respect different beliefs，and form your own opinions.Making friends and then losing touch teaches you that everything is temporary.
Growing up as a TCK，you rarely realize how adaptable you are，until your older friends often comment on how"wise and mature"you are for your age.Travelling from a young age opens your eyes beyond"Hypernormalization".It teaches that diversity is nothing to be afraid of.Growing up as a TCK was tough，but I wouldn't trade it for anything.It has shaped me to be the person that I am today—an actual"citizen of the world".
4.How does the author usually respond to"Where are you from"？______
A. By stating her nationality directly.
B. By admitting her uncertainty honestly.
C. By explaining the TCK concept briefly.
D. By describing her experiences in detail.
5.What does the author say about TCKs' childhood？______
A. They enjoyed planning their moves.
B. They resisted their parents' decisions.
C. They maintained their personal lifestyle.
D. They were forced to adapt to sudden changes.
6.Which of the following can best describe TCKs' experiences？______
A. Tough and confusing. B. Peaceful and predictable.
C. Routine but eye-opening. D. Adventurous but beneficial.
7.What can be a suitable title for the text？______
A. Growing up as a TCK B. Challenges for Migration
C. How to Become a Global Citizen D. How to Adapt to Diverse Cultures
C
Online short-form video has shifted from a light distraction to a constant background in many children's lives.
What used to fill a spare moment now shapes how young people relax and communicate，with platforms like TikTok，Instagram Reels，and YouTube Shorts drawing in millions through endlessly personalized feeds.While these apps offer fun and connection，their design encourages long periods of rapid scrolling that can be difficult for young users to manage.Short-form videos are engineered to capture the brain's desire for novelty，with each swipe （滑动） promising something different.Because the feed rarely pauses，the natural breaks that help attention reset disappear.
Over time，this constant stimulation （刺激） can weaken self control and sustain focus，creating a cycle that is hard to break.Sleep is one of the clearest areas where this causes harm.The bright light from screens delays sleep，while the emotional highs and lows of rapid content make it difficult for the brain to settle.Beyond sleep disturbances，the constant stream of peer images can lead to comparison.Pre-teens may internalize unrealistic standards of popularity and appearance，causing lower self-respect and anxiety.Younger children are especially at risk due to less mature self-regulation and a more fragile sense of identity.
This consumption pattern matters because childhood is a critical period for learning how to tolerate boredom and handle uncomfortable feelings.When every quiet moment is filled with quick entertainment，children lose chances to practice daydreaming，invent games，or simply let their thoughts wander.Unstructured time is essential for young minds to learn how to calm themselves and develop internal focus.
Fortunately，there are encouraging signs of change.Governments and schools begin to address digital wellbeing more directly.At home，establishing simple family rules，such as keeping devices out of bedrooms，can protect sleep and reduce late-night scrolling.With thoughtful support，responsive policies，and safer platform design，children can enjoy these videos without harming their wellbeing or development.
8.How does short-form video affect attention according to the text？______
A. It trains self-control.
B. It removes natural breaks.
C. It adds longer pauses.
D. It satisfies the need for novelty.
9.What is paragraph 3 mainly about？______
A. The impact of sleep loss. B. The anxiety of peer comparison.
C. The risk of identity crisis. D. The harm of constant stimulation.
10.What does the author imply about unstructured time？______
A. It increases screen dependency.
B. It benefits children's development.
C. It should be replaced by activities.
D. It is less important than schooling.
11.What does the author suggest to improve children's digital wellbeing？______
A. Making videos more engaging. B. Restricting device use at home.
C. Adopting a multi-party approach. D. Leaving device rules to schools.
D
Ocean litter is a major environmental problem around the world.To rise to this challenge，a research team at the Technical University of Munich （TUM） has now developed an autonomous （自动） diving robot that can discover and collect litter.It uses an AI system to analyze objects with ultrasound （超声波） and cameras，picks them up and brings them to the surface.
The entire system consists of an unmanned service boat with a small underwater search robot and the diving robot.The service boat supplies the underwater robots with power and data by cable and uses ultrasound to map the seabed.After a search robot scans the seabed，the diving robot dives to the rubbish，collects it，and puts it into a floating waste container.
Equipped with a camera and sonar （声呐），the system can identify rubbish even in dark and unclear water.Since hardly any image material is available for underwater objects that could help to train the search robot，the team labeled （标记） more than 7，000 pictures to teach the AI to tell rubbish from natural objects.After recognizing waste，the AI displays it in 3 D to determine how to grasp （抓取） the object safely and firmly.
The diving robot's four-fingered hand can squeeze （捏） with a force of 4，000 newtons and grasp objects weighing up to 250 kg.However，special sensors enable it to gauge how much force it can apply without causing damage.This prevents plastic buckets from breaking，for example，or glass bottles from breaking into pieces.
Tested in the Port of Marseille in France and the Port of Hamburg in Germany，the system is expected to be widely used between 2030 and 2033.Project manager Bart De Schutter believes this technology could be game-changing in addressing ocean litter.
12.What is paragraph 2 mainly about？______
A. How the system works. B. How the service boat is powered.
C. Where the rubbish goes. D. What the search robot is made of.
13.How does the system tell rubbish from natural objects underwater？______
A. By working with divers to check different objects.
B. By measuring the weight and size of the objects.
C. By being trained with over 7，000 labeled pictures.
D. By using a special cable to display the objects in 3
14.What does the underlined word "gauge" in Paragraph 4 probably mean？______
A. Prove B. Imagine C. Judge D. Increase
15.What is Bart De Schutter's attitude toward the future of the technology？______
A. Doubtful B. Positive C. Unconcerned D. Unclear

What is failure？The inability to achieve something or lack of success is known as a failure.Yes，failure hurts. (16) .When we fail in life，it can be difficult to get up again，but let me tell you this：We learn more than you think from failures.
Toughness

(17) .Only through toughness can we adopt the appropriate behaviors to overcome change.Toughness can also help us build perseverance and motivation.
Modesty

(19) .This is why we must always be flexible，and failure teaches us to be flexible.When we learn to adapt，we can easily overcome challenges and become the best version of ourselves.
(20)
It is just like flexibility.When we fail at something，it teaches us to approach the problem from a different angle.If you are terrible at something，don't be ashamed.Work on your skills and learn to tackle the situation from a different perspective and skill.Eventually，you will be successful.

On our final morning，we were asked to bring back a" (31) "stick，rock，and leaf to share what would"stick"with us，what rocked，"and what we would"leaf behind.The (32) of friendship would stick with me.Women supporting one another truly rocked.And I hoped to leave some fears behind.
Our guide ended by expressing her (33) ，praising our positive attitude，and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years.Those words warmed my heart and (34) my fear of being aged.Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal—even if just for (35) .

________
38.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last week in biology class，the teacher had the students pair up to care for a plant or a small animal for a month.Alex and Sam became partners.They picked out a little hamster with soft brown fur and shiny black eyes.They named it Peanut and set up a cage for it on the bookshelf next to their desks.
They took turns feeding Peanut，cleaning the cage and giving it water.Alex liked watching Peanut run on the wheel in the cage.Sam liked holding it gently.Peanut soon became the class star.Everyone passing by would stop and say hi.Some even brought vegetable pieces and Peanut would eat them greedily.
One morning，it was Alex's turn to clean the cage.He took Peanut out and set it on a chair while he cleaned the plastic base.When he finished and looked back，Peanut was gone.Alex's heart sank.He got down on his hands and knees and searched under the desks，his face pale with worry.At that moment，Sam rushed over，face red，blaming Alex for being careless.Alex felt awful but also angry."Hey，remember yesterday you left the cage door unlocked？So don't just blame me."Sam shook his head."I didn't lose him today—you did!"They said no more and searched under every chair，behind the bookshelf，and inside desks.But Peanut was nowhere to be seen.Then the bell rang.They had to stop.Sam walked back to his seat，head down.Alex stood there for a second，then did the same.The empty cage sitting on the bookshelf was like a wall standing between them，right in their hearts.
After school，without a word，they both stayed behind.They searched every where again but found nothing，Alex was about to give up when he heard a tiny scratching sound.It came from the corner near the bookshelf：
Immediately，Alex rushed to the bookshelf.

37.【答案】Rethinking Snacks from Street Stalls Recently，our student union conducted a survey on how frequently high school students buy snacks from street stalls.As is clearly shown in the chart，69% of students purchase them several times a week and 21% once a week.Surprisingly，students who never purchase them only take up 10%.
The convenience，low cost，and appealing taste of these snacks may account for this phenomenon.However，eating them too often may lead to health issues，such as digestive problems or unbalanced nutrition.
Therefore，it is suggested that the school provide healthier and affordable alternatives in the cafeteria.Meanwhile，students should raise awareness of healthy eating and choose more nutritious meal options.After all，a healthy diet lays the foundation for a successful future.
38.【答案】 Immediately，Alex rushed to the bookshelf.He carefully bent down and stared closely at the dark corner.To their great relief，Peanut was huddled there，trembling slightly.Its soft fur was covered with dust，and its shiny black eyes looked scared.Sam held his breath and slowly knelt down beside Alex.Neither of them made a sound，afraid of frightening the little hamster away.After a short while，Peanut gradually calmed down and stopped scratching the wall.The two boys exchanged a quiet glance，all the anger between them fading away instantly.
Picking Peanut up，Alex and Sam looked at each other，both with a guilty look.They realized that quarreling with each other was the silliest thing in the world.Alex apologized sincerely for his carelessness，and Sam also admitted that he should not have lost his temper and blamed Alex blindly.They wiped the dust off Peanut's fur gently and put it back into the clean cage.Watching Peanut eat sunflower seeds cutely，they made an agreement to take better care of it together.The empty cage that once separated them now became a bridge connecting their friendship，making it stronger than ever before.
