A Gen Z train attendant in China has gained widespread praise for his creative approach to keeping children calm and entertained during long train rides — by handing out test papers and stickers (贴画).
Qin Yunhao, who works on the G1546 high-speed train from Nanning East to Hangzhou West,brings along a plastic bag filled with simple worksheets and colorful reward stickers every time he’s on duty. His idea is simple but effective: children who become noisy during the journey are gently handed a test paper, and upon completing it, are rewarded with stickers. Meanwhile, children who remain quiet throughout the ride are given stickers directly as a form of positive reinforcement (强化). The idea, which started during the summer travel rush, has received overwhelming support from parents and netizens. Many praised it for turning a potentially noisy carriage (车厢) into a peaceful environment, while also giving children something meaningful to do during the journey.
The inspiration came from observing parents who brought homework for their children on board. Wanting to help those who hadn’t come prepared, Qin began printing out simple exercises to share.
This low-cost but thoughtful solution has been described as a “magical fix”, as it eases pressure on parents, entertains young passengers, and helps maintain order in a public space. It’s also seen as a reflection of growing human-centered innovation in public service.
Qin’s fellow railway staff have also adopted various child-friendly practices. Some bring picture books or small toys, others create “kids’ kits” with puzzles and games. On certain trains, a children’s activity area has even been set up in the dining car. Railway staff also encourage parents to prepare entertainment in advance — such as downloading cartoons or bringing educational games — to help children enjoy the ride calmly and constructively.
Balancing children’s natural liveliness with public order is no easy task. But initiatives like this show that thoughtful, human-centered solutions can go a long way toward creating more harmonious public spaces.

A．He sets up activity areas.
B．He provides books and toys.

A．It fits the summer rush.
B．It is expensive but effective.
C．It makes carriages peaceful.
D．It puts pressure on parents and kids.
7. What is the best title for the text
A．Railway Activities for Kids.
B．Ways to Play with Kids on Trains.
C．Harmonious Summer Travel.
D．A Train Attendant’s Idea to Calm Kids.
C
Pause for a moment and gaze into the eyes of your dog. Do you feel overwhelmed by how cute they are Or, perhaps, a desire to squeeze (揉捏) them
Now think about your habits. Do you send them to daycare, dress them up in clothes, and bring them on vacations Do you speak to them like a baby
If so, you’re not alone — after all, research shows our brains essentially respond in the same way to pet dogs as they do to human children. Our brains weren’t always wired this way, but as we domesticated (驯化) dogs, they developed human-like social and cognitive abilities. They started to act and even look like babies — and our brains began to view them as such.
That’s why Zachary Silver, the director of the Canine Cognition Lab at Occidental College, isn’t at all surprised people feel so strongly about their four-legged friends — in fact, to him, it would be odd if they didn’t. “The dogs of today have been carefully selected over thousands of years to be kind and affectionate (温顺亲人的).” he says. So, if you’ve ever been laughed at for treating your dog like your actual human child, just know there are 20,000 to 40,000 years of evolution causing you to behave this way.
Here’s how this powerful neurobiological (神经生物学的) response makes us love, trust, and care for our dogs. Your brain really does view your dog as a child.
Alison LaCoss, a mother of three, says the moment she gave birth to her kids, she felt an overwhelming desire to love them and keep them safe. LaCoss’s behavior isn’t abnormal-and a brain imaging study conducted in 2014 provides some important clues as to why. To figure out what causes people to feel so intensely about their dogs, researchers from Harvard University invited a small group of mothers who had least one child between the ages of 2 to 10 and a dog they had owned for at least two years. The moms went into MRI machines and looked at various images of dogs and kids-some their own, and some not.
The researchers found a significant overlap between the emotional experience of the mother-child relationship and the mother-dog relationship. The amygdala, a brain area that drives bond formation and reward, lit up when the women looked at pictures of their child and their dog.
8. Why does the author say “you’re not alone” in Paragraph 3
A．Because many people have dogs as pets.
B．Because dogs are very popular among people.
C．Because many people treat dogs like human children.
D．Because dogs are the most faithful friends of humans.
9. What makes human brain react in the same way to children and dogs
A．Dogs’ wild nature.
B．Dogs’ human-like characters.
C．Humans’ love for the cute animals.
D．Humans’ desire for close relationship.
10. The underlined word “overlap” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A．shared area
B．big difference
C．good balance
D．common need
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A．The ways humans treat dogs.
B．The history of dog domestication.
C．The similarities between dogs and human children.
D．The reasons why people treat dogs like human children.
D
“You know when you walk past a parked car on a hot day and feel the heat it gives off ” says Márcia Matias at the University of Lisbon in Portugal. “That’s real! It’s not your imagination.”
Dark-coloured cars can make a measurable difference on nearby air temperature, as they absorb (吸收) and emit (排放) more heat than lighter vehicles when sitting on the street or in a parking lot. The collective impact from hundreds of thousands or millions of cars in cities could significantly influence urban heat island effects, and even increase heat stress for passers-by during sunny days.
Matias and her colleagues measured the air temperature around two cars — one black and one white — parked outside for more than 5 hours during daylight. Their measurements showed the black car raised the surrounding air temperature by as much as 3.8°C compared to the nearby asphalt (沥青) under a clear and sunny summer sky with temperatures of 36°C. Meanwhile, the white car had much smaller impacts on the surrounding air temperature.
The reason for such temperature differences is white vehicle paint reflects between 75 and 85 percent of incoming sunlight, while black paint absorbs most incoming sunlight, reflecting just 5 to 10 percent. A car’s thin dark skin can heat up quickly under strong sunlight, unlike even very dark asphalt that is thicker and warms more slowly. “Now picture thousands of cars parked across a city, each one acting like a little heat source,” says Matias. “Their colour can actually shift how hot the streets feel.”
The researchers calculated repainting parked cars from dark to lighter colours could create cooler surfaces and lower near-surface air temperatures on sunny, low wind days. Using the city of Lisbon as an example, the change could effectively raise street-level reflectance (反射率) of incoming sunlight from just 20 percent to nearly 40 percent in areas where parked cars cover more than 10 percent of the road.
“Making use of light-coloured vehicles to relieve urban heat is particularly novel”, says Sarah Berk at the University of North Carolina. Previous studies have focused on improving roofs and pavement to reflect more sunlight.
12. Why do dark cars impact nearby air temperature more greatly
A．Because they are in larger numbers.
B．Because more heat is trapped by them.
C．Because more sunlight is reflected by them.
D．Because they have been parked for longer time.
13. How did Matias conduct the research
A．By analyzing the previous data.
B．By changing the incoming sunlight.
C．By tracking the change in temperature.
D．By comparing the thickness of car paint.
14. Which statement will the researchers probably agree with
A．Dark asphalt heats up faster than dark cars.
B．Lighter paint on cars can cool down the streets.
C．Vehicle color has little impact on urban temperatures.
D．The reflectance of sunlight is mainly controlled by building materials.
15. What’s Sarah Berk’s attitude towards Matias’s research
A．Positive.
B．Critical.
C．Worried.
D．Uninterested.

Ways to Manage Your Results Day Worries
With results day just around the corner, it’s normal for anxiety to start creeping in. To help you get through it, I’ve put together some best tips for managing those results day worries (tried and tested).
Journal your worries away.
Get those feelings out! It’s bittersweet to look back something you will probably experience in the future too. Just let it all out in one big word rush and don’t worry about spelling or grammar—no one else will see this! ____16____ Writing your train-of-thought is a good way to let go of anxiety.
____17____
Take advantage of the nice weather (so long as it’s not too hot!) and get some fresh air. Go on walks to the beach, or into town, see friends and just focus on making the most of your summer. Staying in your room can make your anxiety worse.
Treat yourself.
Use the rest of your time before results day to treat yourself to something special. ____18____ Giving yourself treats (big or small) is a way to remind yourself that whatever grades you get, you still matter.
Do what you can.
When I was stressed about results day, I had tunnel vision. I could only focus on the things I couldn’t control—like grades, or what I was going to do if I didn’t get into my first choice university. But worrying about things that have already happened wasn’t helpful because they were out of my control. ____19____
Talk to people.
____20____ Reach out to them and see how they feel. That being said, make sure you talk to the right people. If you know some of your friends will start panicking and make your anxiety worse, avoid bringing up your fears with them.
We all get worried when there’s a big event coming up. But remember—nothing has actually happened yet. You might even be pleasantly surprised. Good luck—you’ve got this!
A．Step outside.
B．Go for a walk.
C．Don’t stop writing until it’s all out.
D．Your friends are probably in the same boat.
E．So I focused my energy on what I could control.
F．There is nothing better than having good friends.
G．After all, you worked hard and sat all those exams.

Geirlaugur called me to his desk the next day. I was expecting ____27____, but instead he handed me a collection of Icelandic nature poems. “Keep going, and your work will be ____28____ one day. Onwards.” he told me.
From that day on, my relationship with Iceland ____29____. I threw myself into reading Icelandic novels, found friendship and ____30____, and realized that Icelanders ____31____ writers. One friend told me ____32____ that Iceland is a nation of writers: one in 10 would publish a book.
I would not have become a ____33____ were it not for Iceland. She ____34____ my confidence in the worthiness of writing. Her mountains remain my ____35____. And if I feel the old doubt, I remember Geirlaugur’s voice. “Onwards.”
21. A．appealing B．addictive C．worthy D．challenging

五、书面表达（读后续写）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给的段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Grace and Ellen, both promising in their school’s dance competition, were fierce competitors. They both had great passion for dancing and dreamed for bigger stages. They were both friends and competitors. They had similar taste in music, and had similar dressing styles. Even they wore shoes of the same size. They had both committed themselves to preparing for the upcoming contest.
Grace’s journey to the competition was marked by countless hours of practice and determination. She would rise before the sun, and the studio lights were her only company. Every movement was perfected with unwavering commitment. She knew that this competition wasn’t just about personal success; it was also about upholding her school’s honor. “Grace, you’re incredible!” Grace’s dance instructor, Mrs. Anderson, often praised her. “Your hard work will pay off.”
Ellen had been practicing hard for this competition as well. Her love for dance was her driving force. After school, she would head straight to the dance studio, tirelessly perfecting every step and twirl. Her dance shoes had become an extension of her feet, and her heart burned with a strong desire for victory. “Ellen, you’re a natural,” her fellow dancers would often say. “You’ve got this!”
The day of the competition finally arrived, and there were five competitors fighting for the championship title. Ellen was scheduled to perform before Grace.
As Ellen stood backstage, the butterflies in her stomach seemed to have turned into a whirlwind (漩涡). She checked her dance shoes one last time and realized a huge mistake. The shoes themselves were a size too small—It turned out she took her little sister’s shoes by mistake. Panic set in as her mind raced for a solution.
“Ellen, you’re up next!” the stage manager announced.
In the dimly lit (灰暗的) backstage area, Grace overheard Ellen’s whispers to her friend, Sarah.
“I brought the wrong shoes, Sarah,” Ellen’s voice trembled (颤抖). “They are too small. What am I going to do ”
Grace’s heart sank as she overheard the conversation.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
2. 请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tears of gratitude welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she slipped into Grace’s shoes.

四、书信写作 参考范文
Dear Alice,
Guess what We surprised our English teacher last week!
Knowing it was her birthday, we secretly prepared cards and handmade flowers during break time. When she walked into the classroom, we sang the birthday song together and presented our gifts. She was so moved that her eyes turned red.
This experience made me realize how precious the bond between teachers and students is. Small warm moments can bring great joy to both sides.
Yours,
Li Hua
五、读后续写 参考范文
Grace knew her shoes would fit Ellen perfectly, but she hesitated. She had spent months breaking in these dance shoes, which guaranteed her stable performance. If she gave them away, her own chance of winning might be ruined. However, seeing Ellen’s desperate look, Grace’s competitiveness faded away. Friendship mattered more than a prize. She walked over and handed her dance shoes to Ellen without hesitation. Ellen stared at her in shock, unable to believe what she saw.
Tears of gratitude welled up in Ellen’s eyes as she slipped into Grace’s shoes. She gave Grace a tight hug and promised to return them right after her performance. Ellen danced smoothly and won warm applause. Later, Grace delivered a wonderful performance too. Though they were competitors, they valued their friendship above the championship. This competition taught them that kindness always shines brighter than victory.
