三、阅读理解（本题共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Do you know that nearly half of the food produced in the world goes to waste each year Meanwhile, millions of people go hungry. A group of university students in Nanjing decided to do something about this problem. They started a "Food Rescue" program.
The idea is simple. Local restaurants, bakeries, and supermarkets often have unsold food at the end of the day that is still perfectly good to eat. Instead of throwing it away, they donate (捐赠) it to the program. Student volunteers then collect the food and deliver (递送) it to community centers, shelters, and schools in poor areas.
"Every evening, I go to three bakeries near my school," said Li Wei, a 19-year-old volunteer. "They give me fresh bread and cakes that weren't sold. I deliver them to a shelter for elderly people within one hour. Seeing their smiles makes all the effort worth it."
The program has grown quickly. In the past year, they have rescued over 5,000 kilograms of food and helped more than 800 families. But the students don't want to stop there. They are now developing an app that will allow more restaurants to join easily.
"Food waste is a big problem, but small actions can add up," said Wang Fang, the program's founder. "Every loaf of bread we save is one less loaf in the trash and one more meal for someone in need."
26. What is the main purpose of the "Food Rescue" program
A. To help restaurants sell more food.
B. To reduce food waste and help hungry people.
C. To teach students how to bake bread.
D. To start a food delivery business.
27. Where does the rescued food come from
A. Students' homes. B. Community gardens.
C. Local restaurants and bakeries. D. Supermarket warehouses.
28. What does Li Wei do as a volunteer
A. He bakes bread for elderly people.
B. He collects and delivers donated food.
C. He develops an app for restaurants.
D. He manages a community shelter.
29. What does Wang Fang mean by saying "small actions can add up"
A. Many small efforts together can make a big difference.
B. Only large actions can solve the food waste problem.
C. Students are too young to help with food rescue.
D. Food waste is not a serious problem.
B
When you look at the night sky, what do you see Most people see stars and maybe the moon. But for 15-year-old Zhou Mei from Hangzhou, the sky tells a different story. She sees light pollution.
"On clear nights, I can only see about 20 stars from my balcony," Zhou Mei said. "But when I visited my grandmother in a small village, the whole sky was filled with thousands of stars. I couldn't believe the difference."
Zhou Mei decided to do something about it. She started a project called "Dark Sky Guardians" at her school. The goal is to raise awareness (意识) about light pollution and encourage people to use lighting more wisely.
With the help of her science teacher, Zhou Mei measured the brightness of the night sky in different parts of the city. She found that areas near shopping malls and sports stadiums were the brightest. "Many lights are unnecessary," she explained. "They point upward into the sky instead of down to the ground where they're needed."
The group created a simple guide for the community. It suggests using lights with covers that direct light downward, turning off unnecessary lights after midnight, and using warmer-colored lights that are less harmful to the night sky.
So far, three local businesses have agreed to change their lighting. The city government has also invited Zhou Mei to speak at a community meeting.
"One person can't change everything," Zhou Mei said. "But if more people understand the problem, we can all work together to bring back the stars."
30. Why did Zhou Mei start the "Dark Sky Guardians" project
A. To study stars and planets.
B. To reduce light pollution in her city.
C. To visit her grandmother more often.
D. To measure the brightness of the moon.
31. What did Zhou Mei find through her measurements
A. The countryside has more stars than the city.
B. Areas near shopping malls have the brightest night sky.
C. Light pollution is worse in winter than in summer.
D. Most people don't care about the night sky.
32. What suggestion does Zhou Mei's guide include
A. Using brighter lights for safety.
B. Keeping all lights on all night.
C. Using lights that point downward.
D. Moving shopping malls away from the city.
33. What can we learn from Zhou Mei's story
A. Young people can make a difference in environmental protection.
B. Light pollution is not a serious problem in big cities.
C. Science teachers are responsible for solving pollution.
D. The government should ban all outdoor lighting.

① Have you ever wondered why some people seem to learn new skills quickly while others struggle The answer might lie not in talent, but in something called "deliberate practice" (刻意练习).
② Deliberate practice is different from just repeating something over and over. When you play the same song on the piano without paying attention to mistakes, that's not deliberate practice. Deliberate practice means focusing on your weak points, setting small goals, and getting feedback (反馈).
③ For example, a basketball player who wants to improve free throws doesn't just shoot 100 times. Instead, she identifies that she often misses to the left. Then she spends 30 minutes practicing aim (瞄准) to the right, records herself, and asks her coach for advice. That is deliberate practice.
④ Studies have shown that deliberate practice is the key to becoming excellent in many fields, from music to sports to medicine. Anders Ericsson, a psychologist who studied this topic for decades, found that even "gifted" people needed thousands of hours of deliberate practice to reach the top level.
⑤ The good news is that anyone can use deliberate practice. Here are three steps. First, break down the skill into small parts. Second, find your weakest part and practice it slowly. Third, get feedback from someone better than you. Repeat these steps regularly.
⑥ So next time you want to get better at something, don't just practice more. Practice smarter.
34. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Talent is the most important factor for success.
B. Deliberate practice helps people improve skills effectively.
C. Repeating something many times leads to mastery.
D. Only professional athletes need deliberate practice.
35. Which of the following is an example of deliberate practice
A. Playing video games for hours without thinking.
B. Re-reading a textbook many times before an exam.
C. Focusing on a weak shooting skill and getting coach feedback.
D. Listening to music while doing math homework.
36. According to paragraph ⑤, what is the first step of deliberate practice
A. Get feedback from an expert.
B. Practice as fast as possible.
C. Break the skill into small parts.
D. Find a partner to practice with.
37. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage
A. ①--②③--④⑤⑥ B. ①②--③④--⑤⑥
C. ①--②③④--⑤⑥ D. ①--②③④⑤--⑥
D
Every morning, 70-year-old Mrs. Zhang puts on her bright red vest (背心) and walks to the crosswalk near the primary school. For the past eight years, she has served as a volunteer crossing guard (护学岗志愿者), helping children cross the street safely.
"When I first retired (退休), I felt lonely and useless," Mrs. Zhang said. "Then I saw a child nearly run across the road without looking. I thought, 'I can help with that.' So I did."
Every school day, rain or shine, Mrs. Zhang arrives at 7:00 a.m. and stays until 8:00 a.m., then returns from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. She knows most of the children by name. She reminds them to look left and right, holds up her hand to stop cars, and gives high-fives to children who cross safely.
"It's not just about safety," said Mr. Li, a parent. "Mrs. Zhang makes the children feel cared for. My son used to be afraid of crossing the busy street. Now he looks forward to seeing 'Grandma Zhang' every morning."
Last year, Mrs. Zhang fell and broke her arm. She was back at the crosswalk within two weeks, wearing a cast (石膏). "The children made me get-well cards," she said with tears in her eyes. "How could I stay home "
The school has tried to pay her, but she refuses. "This isn't a job. It's my way of staying young and connected," she said. "When I see those little faces smiling at me, I feel useful again."
Now, three other retired people have joined Mrs. Zhang, creating a small team of volunteer crossing guards. They take turns at different crosswalks near the school.
"Age is just a number," Mrs. Zhang said. "As long as I can stand, I'll be here for these children."
38. Why did Mrs. Zhang start working as a volunteer crossing guard
A. She needed money after retirement.
B. She wanted to feel useful and help children.
C. The school asked her to do the job.
D. She had nothing else to do at home.
39. What happened after Mrs. Zhang broke her arm
A. She stopped working as a crossing guard.
B. The school hired someone to replace her.
C. She returned to work soon after receiving cards from children.
D. The parents asked her to rest at home.
40. What can we infer from the passage about Mrs. Zhang
A. She is strict and serious with children.
B. She finds great joy and purpose in helping others.
C. She hopes to get more volunteers to join her team.
D. She is planning to retire from the crossing guard role.

请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Have you ever noticed how your mood changes with the weather Sunny days often make people feel happier, while rainy days can make some people feel down. 41
Scientists call this "weather mood connection". Research has shown that weather does affect how we feel. 42 For example, sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D, which is linked to better mood. Lack of sunlight in winter can lead to a condition called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), where people feel tired and sad.
43 Studies have found that people report higher life satisfaction on sunny days. However, extremely hot or cold weather can have negative effects. Very high temperatures can make people feel tired and irritable (易怒的).
What about rainy days For some people, rain creates a cozy feeling. 44 For others, especially those who need to commute (通勤) or work outside, rain can be annoying.
So what can you do to protect your mood on bad weather days First, spend time near windows to get natural light. Second, stay active with indoor exercises. 45
Remember, while you can't control the weather, you can control how you respond to it.
A. It is especially true in spring and autumn.
B. They enjoy staying inside with a warm drink and a good book.
C. But why does this happen
D. Sunny weather is generally linked to better mood.
E. Finally, try to find small joys even on cloudy days.
F. This connection has been studied for many years.

请认真阅读下面短文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Do you know what "slow reading" is It is a practice that asks readers to put down their phones, turn off the TV, and 56 (simple) read a book without interruption (打扰). This idea is becoming 57 (increase) popular in China.
Why is slow reading important When you read slowly, you give your brain time 58 (understand) and think about what you are reading. Studies show that slow reading can improve memory, increase vocabulary, and even reduce stress. 59 contrast, jumping between different tasks while reading makes it harder to remember information.
Many people today are used to 60 (read) short messages and quick news updates. They may find it difficult 61 (sit) with one book for an hour. But like any skill, slow reading gets 62 (easy) with practice.
Here are some tips for slow reading. First, choose 63 quiet place where no one will disturb you. Second, set a timer (计时器) for 20 minutes and read without 64 (check)your phone. Third, after reading, spend a few minutes writing down what you remember.
So next time you pick up a book, try reading 65 (slow). You might be surprised by how much more you enjoy and remember.
六、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。（每题答案不超过6个词）
Do you know that yawning (打哈欠) is contagious (传染性的) When you see someone yawn, you might feel like yawning too. But why does this happen Scientists have been studying this question for many years.
One idea is that yawning helps cool down the brain. When we yawn, we take in a deep breath of cool air. This air cools the blood in our head, which then cools the brain. A cooler brain works better. This might explain why people yawn more when they are tired or bored—their brains are warmer and need cooling.
But what about contagious yawning Some scientists believe it is a form of empathy (共情). Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. When you see someone yawn, your brain mirrors (模仿) their action because you are connecting with them. Studies have found that people with stronger empathy are more likely to catch a yawn.
Interestingly, children under five years old rarely catch yawns. This is because their empathy skills are still developing. Even dogs can catch yawns from their owners! This suggests that yawning is related to social bonding (社会联系).
So the next time you yawn after seeing someone else do it, remember: your brain is just being friendly.

Dear Lucy,
World Environment Day sounds like a great event! Here's one simple idea: bring your own reusable water bottle instead of buying plastic bottles every day.
This is helpful because plastic bottles create a lot of waste. Many of them end up in oceans and harm sea animals. By using a reusable bottle, you can save money and protect the environment at the same time. You can even decorate your bottle to make it special!
At my school, many students have started doing this. It really makes a difference when everyone joins in.
Hope this helps with your Green Action Day!
Yours,
Li Hua
