A
I had passed the small community garden nearly every day for a year, never once pausing to
take a closer look. It sat at the end of the quiet street, enclosed by a worn wooden fence, its rows of
plants half-hidden by overgrown grass, looking untidy and uninviting to someone rushing through
daily tasks. I was always busy with work deadlines and busy schedules, viewing such small, quiet
spaces as nothing to do with my fast-paced life.
It was not until a Saturday afternoon, when my usual afternoon plans fell through unexpectedly,
that I found myself standing in front of the fence, curiosity getting the better of me for the first time.
I pushed the gate open gently, the wood creaking(咯吱作响) softly, and stepped inside. The air was
filled with the soft scent of blooming flowers and fresh soil, a sharp contrast to the noisy world I had
been caught in for months.
An elderly woman was kneeling on the ground, carefully pulling weeds from around a row of
tomato plants, her hands moving slowly but steadily. She did not look up at first, focusing entirely on
her work, and I stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to leave or stay. When she finally raised her
head, her eyes crinkled(起皱) with a warm smile, and she gestured for me to come closer, speaking
softly about the different plants and how she had tended the garden for nearly ten years.
It was not a perfectly tidy garden, but it was full of life and quiet dedication. By the time I left,
the sun was beginning to set, and I felt a lightness in my chest I had not felt in months.
I had stumbled upon a reminder that joy and peace lie in stopping to notice small, overlooked
beauties in life.
21. What can we infer about the author's former life

B. A new hobby of exploring hidden scenic spots.
C. A chance to learn professional gardening skills.
D. A strong desire to change her living environment.

California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published
Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor.
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined(下降) by 50 percent on more than
46,000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds. No area was spared or unaffected
from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los
Angeles. In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in
parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead
author of the study. Woodcutters targeted big trees. Housing development pushed into the woods. Aggressive (声势浩大的) wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that
compete with big trees for resources.
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one
between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees
that was obvious even in wildlands where woodcutting or development weren’t allowed.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.
The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that worked out how much water
trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as
rainfall, air temperature, dampness(潮湿) of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been
rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which
reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
24. What is the second paragraph mainly about
A. The seriousness of big-tree loss in California. B. The increasing variety of California big trees.
C. The importance of big trees in California forests.
D. The influence of farming on big trees in California.
25. Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees
A. Ecological studies of forests. B. Not allowing woodcutting.
C. Limiting housing development. D. Fire control measures.
26. What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre
A. Lack of snowmelt. B. A longer dry season.
C. A warmer climate. D. Dampness of the air. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. California s Forests: Where Have the Big Trees Gone
B. Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
C. Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests
D. Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prevented in California Soon

In modern daily life, people fill almost every spare moment with endless short videos and quick
online news. Such easy access to fast entertainment has quietly changed people's reading habits,
leaving traditional literary works far less favored than they once were.
Many ordinary people have formed a fixed belief that novels and poems serve little practical
purpose, unable to solve real-life troubles or bring immediate benefits, so they choose to stay away
from serious reading completely. However, this view is one-sided. Literature is actually an
irreplaceable treasure that benefits people greatly in the long run.
When one spends time staying with literary works, they are no longer limited to their own life
experience. Between the lines, they can quietly experience the joy and sorrow of characters living in
different surroundings and times.
This light emotional experience gradually shapes one's inner sensitivity, allowing individuals to
view life events from more than one angle instead of sticking to their own narrow understanding
alone. Such inner growth can hardly be gained from those fast-paced online contents designed only
for instant amusement.
People are easily influenced by popular online views which are usually simple and one-sided,
leaving little space for personal thought. Literary creation behaves quite differently. It seldom
provides definite answers to complex life problems, nor does it force readers to accept fixed opinions.
Instead, it presents complicated life situations and inner conflicts, pushing readers to sort out hidden
relations, observe human nature, and form their own judgments independently.
Some old literary works have survived hundreds of years and still attract modern readers.
Behind their lasting attraction lie the shared human feelings and life puzzles that never change with
time. Modern readers may find their own confusion and expectation reflected in those classic lines,
feeling closely connected with strangers from distant generations.
It is improper to regard literature as nothing more than a way to kill time. Its value lies in
polishing people's inner world, shaping their way of thinking, and helping them keep a clear mind in
the chaos of the noisy flow of modern information.
28. What is the author's major concern
A. Fast entertainment is changing people's spare time.
B. People ignore the long-term value of literary reading.
C. Online opinions limit people's independent thinking.
D. Modern readers lose interest in short online entertainment.
29. How does literary reading promote people's inner growth
A. By improving people's inner feelings and views of life.
B. By helping readers form independent judgments quickly.
C. By freeing people from various real-life limitations.
D. By offering different new ways to solve personal troubles.
30. Why can classic literary works attract modern readers
A. They exactly record real historical events. B. They provide fixed views on human nature.
C. They completely set people free from modern noise.
D. They carry everlasting human feelings and puzzles.
31. What is the author's attitude towards people's wrong idea against literature
A. Fully understanding.
B. Strongly disapproving.
C. Completely confused.
D. Slightly doubtful.

Like it or not, social media is a major part of life. Teens spend more than half of their waking
hours online. They use some of that time to post pictures and create profiles on social media
accounts. 32
Clicking on a thumbs-up or a heart icon is an easy way to stay in touch. 33 Some social
media sites use those likes to determine how many people eventually see a post. One with many likes
is more likely to be seen and to get even more likes.
What's more, viewing posts with a lot of likes turns on the reward system in our brains. 34 For
example, posts related to alcohol may encourage teens to drink. That means that what you like online
has the power to influence not just what others like, but even what they do.
35 And not always in a good way. For example, in one 2025 study, teens doing a driving task
in a lab took more risks when their friends were around. Researchers also looked at the teens’ brains
during this task. They saw activity in a part of the brain that's involved in rewards, which suggested
the teens were changing their behavior to try to get social approval.
Joining social media can give people a sense of being in the know. But posts may exaggerate(夸
大) how well our friends and others are feeling, making them appear much happier than we are. 36 .
A. It can also lower the viewer's self-control.
B. A popular post doesn't necessarily mean it is a quality post.
C. And that can, wrongly, make us feel less successful than them.
D. Their brains respond to those likes by turning on the reward center.
E. It's no surprise that comments from friends affect how teens behave.
F. But those “likes” can have power that goes beyond a simple connection.
G. But most of what they do is read and respond to posts by friends and family.

Sweat rolled down Cathy's cheeks as she assisted her older brother Brian in loading hay bales(
干草捆) onto the conveyor(输送机). She wasn't strong enough to lift them herself, but she could at
least help drag them into place. The machine chattered noisily while it carried the bales up to the
hayloft(干草阁楼), where Cathy's dad piled(堆放)them.
All was quiet when Cathy went inside to feed the horses. But as she filled the water containers,
she thought she heard a faint meow(喵 ) from the hayloft. She climbed the steps to the loft and
listened. The sound seemed to be coming from behind the bales. She ran to get her dad and Brian.
Brian raised his head. “It’s coming from outside,” he determined.
“Just a bird in a tree,” Cathy's dad agreed. “How do you know for sure ” Cathy asked.
“I guess we' ve just got better ears than you,” Brian joked.
But Cathy wasn't convinced. She checked the hayloft again after supper. “Are you stuck in there,
kitty ” she said, pressing an ear to the bales.
Cathy raced back to the house. “I heard it again, Dad! Will you please listen once more ”
“All right,” her dad said, turning off the TV.“I’ ll go check while you get ready for bed.”
A few minutes later, Dad stuck his head into Cathy's room. “The only thing I heard out there
was a screech owl,” he said. “So stop worrying.”
“OK, Dad,” Cathy said. “Thanks for checking.”
But she woke in the night thinking about what she'd heard. What if a young cat was trapped
behind the bales She lay on her back, wondering what to do. Finally, she grabbed a flashlight(手电

Development of Transport in China
From the horse-drawn vehicles to today's convenient transport, Chinese transport has an
enormous development. Just a few decades ago, long journeys took days or even weeks, but now we
can travel across the country in hours.
In recent years, new forms of transport have greatly changed our lives. First, shared bicycles are
everywhere in cities, offering a cheap and green choice for short trips. Second, high-speed trains,
known as a “national business card”, connect cities across the country at top speed, cutting travel
time by more than half. Third, new energy vehicles are becoming popular, helping to reduce air
pollution and build a greener future.
These amazing changes not only make our daily travel easier but also show China's rapid
technological progress.

Development of Transport in China
From the horse-drawn vehicles to today's convenient transport, Chinese transport has an
enormous development. What once seemed impossible has now become common, making travel far
more accessible than ever before.
Nowadays, China's transport system is moving towards being faster, greener and more
convenient. Shared bicycles have made short journeys both affordable and eco-friendly, solving the
“last-mile” problem perfectly. High-speed trains, which run at over 300 km/h, have linked faraway
cities closely, turning a long trip into a comfortable ride. Besides, new energy vehicles are gaining
popularity, as they produce almost no pollution and help fight climate change.
All these changes reflect China's great achievements in technology, bringing us a better quality
of life.

Once inside the barn, Cathy directed the flashlight’ s light toward the ladder(梯 子 ). Heart
pounding, Cathy climbed up the ladder to the hayloft. She moved carefully between the hay bales,
listening intently. Suddenly, she heard a faint meow coming from a far corner. Excited but cautious,
Cathy inched her way towards the sound, moving hay bales aside one by one. Sweat dripped from
her face but she didn't stop. Finally, behind the last bale, she spotted a tiny black and white cat, its
eyes wide with fear. Breathing a sigh of relief, Cathy reached for the young cat, “There you are!
Come on, baby!”
At last, Cathy lifted the frightened young cat from the corner of the hayloft. She cradled it gently
to comfort it.The young cat curled up in her arms, purring cozily. Cathy carefully made her way
down the ladder and rushed back to the house. She woke her father and brother, showing them the
young cat with a glow of pride and blinking her eyes, “I guess I have better ears than you!” Laughter
together with the young cat's merry meows lingered in their house. Proud of Cathy's persistence, her
dad stroked her hair, saying in a loving tone, “My brave and caring girl, now you can set your mind
at rest.”

much better than watching it on TV!
M: I told you! And we got tickets for the entire season! (Text 2)

(Text 3)
M: I'd like to check out. I live in Room 608. I stayed in the room for two days, and asked for room
service once.
They sent me some food and drinks.
W: OK. Let me see. It's $458 in total. How would you like to pay for it In cash or by credit card (Text 4)
W: So how is your new roommate
M: Well, he is just not very reliable. He doesn't pay the room rent on time, and seldom cleans the

W: Oh, that must drive you crazy!
M: Yeah. I'm thinking about moving out.

M: Could I buy a ticket for tomorrow's show

own box for$80.
M: Well, I'd like one for the upper floor. (Text 6)
M: Morning. I' ve got a problem with this digital camera.
W: Oh, and what exactly is wrong with it
M: Well, I bought it last week for my photography class. The first time I used it, it didn't work
properly. The screen flashed. And then two days ago, it did the same thing and then just shut off.
And I think I have to come here to deal with it.
W: I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I can either get you another one or I can return your money.
M: I think I'd like to return it.

messages
M: I have no idea. But I' ve heard many people saying they' ve received such messages. I guess those

W: Why did they do this
M: To steal personal information and make money. They could get your account number, credit card
number, or even your password if you visit a certain website with your cellphone.
W: That's so scary.
M: But don't worry. Most websites have protection measures like firewalls and so does your
cellphone. So it's pretty safe to log on there.

right person for the position. I think they were impressed.
W: Did you talk about your pay and other benefits
M: Sure. The starting salary is good. There will also be a regular pay rise each year. What impressed
me most is that there are two paid vacations each year.
