What does she say to her friends who have seen him on the news And will he still love her A gentle and hopeful story for kids about very adult situations and complex feelings. (For ages 5 to 8)
Eyes that Kiss in the Corners (Joanna Ho, illustrated by Dung Ho)
This book is brilliantly written because it focuses both on how the characters’ eyes look and on how they see. Focusing on a young girl who takes pride in her “eyes that kiss in the corner and glow like warm tea”, Joanna Ho’s lyrical intergenerational story combines with Dung Ho’s warm and often magical imagery to bring us a celebration on how we see the world — and how we see ourselves.

In late spring and early summer each year, tens of millions of butterflies come out of their chrysalises (蚕蛹) in the butterfly valley in southwest China’s Yunnan province. For butterfly expert Yang Zhenwen, it is the busiest time of the year, but he greets it with great enthusiasm.
Before the break of dawn, Yang has already arrived at the observation point, busily tending to the needs of the awakening butterflies. “Due to warmer temperatures, the ‘butterfly explosion’ this year occurred slightly earlier than usual, and the size of the butterflies is larger than that in previous years,” said 46-year-old Yang, curator (馆长) of the butterfly valley museum. “We expect that there will be about 80 million to 100 million butterflies in the valley during this year’s ‘butterfly explosion’. That seems so crazy,” said Yang. According to Yang, in the valley, more than 320 butterfly species have been identified in specimens or photographs, including the rarest, most primitive, largest and smallest butterflies in China.
Besides Yang, many local villages have also assumed the role of butterfly guardians. However, the journey toward achieving human-butterfly harmony was far from easy. Some two decades ago, the villagers had little awareness of butterfly protection, believing wrongly that butterflies could endanger their food crops. They viewed them as pests that should be removed.
In 1998, Yang began his journey at the agricultural science station in Ma’an’di Township, the very place where the butterfly valley lies. “It was there that I got into a frequent dilemma— the local villagers, seeking to protect their crops, would often turn to pesticides to kill the butterflies,” he said. “However, my sincere love for these creatures forced me to prevent them from harming the delicate insects.”
Now, the development of ecotourism relying on butterfly resources has successfully changed the once extremely poor township. More villagers have started reproducing butterflies. He describes the butterfly valley as a “dream-making machine”, which extends the “butterfly dream” of harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
24. What made Yang’s aim to reach human-butterfly harmony hard in the beginning
A．Warm temperatures in local villages.
B．The number and size of the butterflies.
C．Improper location of the butterfly valley.
D．Lack of awareness of butterfly protection.
25. What does the underlined word “dilemma” in paragraph 4 mean
A．A choice difficult to make.
B．A fact easy to understand.
C．A duty hard to carry out.
D．A situation smooth to deal with.
26. Which of the following best describe Yang Zhenwen
A．Honest and professional.
B．Humorous and creative.
C．Hard-working and strong-willed.
D．Generous and easy-going.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage
A．Changing the Poor State of a Town
B．Volunteering as a Butterfly Guardian
C．Helping Butterflies Spread Their Wings
D．Developing a Relationship with the Locals
C
In a world featuring endless choices, the search for simplicity has become more than just a desire—it’s a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No explores the philosophy of simplicity and decision-making. Written by Bruce Mullen, this book goes beyond self-help clichés (陈词滥调) and offers a genuine, actionable approach to guiding life’s choices.
The book recognizes decision-making as the centre of human existence and invites readers to admit each decision carries a weight. “Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” sums up a sign if can’t rule—a definite “Yes” and a clear “No.” It encourages readers to focus on the “Yes” and stop readers from puting their effort into uncertain things. Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary aspects, enabling quicker judgments and swifter conclusions.
The book is a practical guide to enhance decision-making skills. The author doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply effectively. From techniques to give preference to tasks to methods for avoiding distractions (分心), the book offers skills for simplifying the decision-making process.
Through personal experiences, Mullen determined the power of simplification, guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the significance of making clear decisions at a crossroads.
“Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No” is more than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision.
28. What are the readers encouraged to do according to paragraph 2
A．Solve uncertain matters.
B．Summarize a key principle.
C．Concentrate on related things.
D．Make decisions independently.
29. Why is the book a practical guide to readers
A．To provide readers with life values.
B．To help readers express philosophy.
C．To improve readers’ critical thinking skills.
D．To equip readers with decision-making skills.
30. What is paragraph 4 of the text mainly about
A．Definition of simplicity.
B．Rules of making decisions.
C．Benefits of stressing clarity.
D．Influences of decision-making.
31. What is the article aimed at
A．Recommending a book.
B．Sharing a positive attitude.
C．Describing a simple lifestyle
D．Solving philosophical problems.
D
The convenience of modern life is nothing short of astonishing. As I write this, some of the greatest hits are being sent to my phone. I could also hire a taxi, or have food delivered to my house within moments. The fact that, as a culture, we celebrate such short cuts is understandable. Yet most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side.
We often resist (抵抗) doing the things we need to do in order to make progress. Behind every plan lies this horrible sense of Inertia (惰性). Why is this resistance — and our desire for ease — such an essential part of our nature The idea of “Evolutionary Mismatch” can explain. It is the idea that we evolved (进化) for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle and that while our society has changed completely, our brains and bodies haven’t.
For hunter-gatherers, rest was essential to balance their periods of intense activity, such as hunting in the rain or escaping from danger. It’s the reason we still ask: “Do I really have to be doing this Shouldn’t I save my energy ” During snowstorms, when there was little chance to hunt for animals, the hunters who chose to stay in the caves were more likely to live and pass on their genes and we’ve inherited (继承) that way of living.
Since then, we’ve invented technology and changed our environments to serve our nature to save energy. The questions are: is it a trap (陷阱) What do we lose by following our nature to prioritize (优先考虑) comfort and convenience
Continually choosing the convenient path weakens your ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties. And, from an evolutionary point of view, some measure of discomfort is just as important to our survival as rest and relaxation. Our ancestors (祖先) didn’t survive simply by being lazy, but through a combination of playing it safe and taking necessary risks: for example, pushing through the pain and effort of leaving a familiar home, in order to find a place closer to sources of food and better protected from the threats.
It is this difficulty itself that shapes and develops our character. In the technological world, we must sometimes make an effort to act in opposition to our nature. As a culture, we must remember that while convenience feels good in the moment, our ability to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary inheritance too.
32. What can we learn about “inertia” in paragraph 2
A．It is a sign of laziness that should be overcome.
B．It is a natural tendency to resist necessary effort.
C．It is caused by the convenience of modern life.
D．It disappears when practical plans are made.
33. “Evolutionary Mismatch” in paragraph 2 means the imbalance between ______.
A．personal goals and social expectations
B．human nature and the modern environment
C．modern conveniences and ancient challenges
D．the resistance to progress and the hunter-gatherer lifestyle
34. According to the text, prioritizing convenience in modern life may ______.
A．slow down technological advances
B．do damage to our physical health
C．cause over-dependence on technology
D．harm our ability to overcome challenges
35. What can be the best title for the text
A．Convenience Trap: The Dark Side of Modern Life
B．Refusing Comfort: The Only Path to Personal Growth
C．Evolutionary Mismatch: Why Our Brains Haven’t Caught Up
D．The Selfish Gene: How Evolution Shapes Our Desire for Ease
三、七选五
The Disadvantage of Creating Good Habits
Habits create the basis for mastery (精通). In chess, after the basic movements become automatic (自动的), a player can focus on the next level of the game. Each unit of information that is memorized opens up the mental space for more effortful thinking. This is true in any case. When you can perform the simple movements without thinking, you are free to pay attention to more advanced details. 36
However, the benefits of habits come at a cost. At first, each repetition develops fluency, speed, and skill. But then as a habit becomes automatic, you become less sensitive to feedback. 37 It becomes easier to ignore mistakes. When you can do it “well enough” automatically, you stop thinking about how to do it better. 38 In reality, you are merely reinforcing (强化) your current habits — not improving them.
39 To achieve top levels of performance, you need an improved approach. You can’t repeat the same things blindly and expect to become excellent. What you need is a combination of automatic habits and deliberate (刻意的) practice.
After one habit has been mastered, you have to return to the effortful part of the work and begin building the next habit. Old tasks become easier the second time around, but it doesn’t get easier overall because now you’re pouring your energy into the next challenge. 40 It’s an endless cycle.
A．You fall into mindless repetition.
B．Next, you will get more positive feedback.
C．Each habit unlocks the next level of performance.
D．Habits are necessary, but not enough for mastery.
E．With habits like these, you will get better without extra effort.
F．In this way, habits are essential for any pursuit of excellence.
G．You assume you’re getting better because you’re gaining experience.
四、完形填空
Have you ever felt nervous while doing something for the very first time If you got dropped off in a new environment with a bunch of strangers, what would you do It can be extremely difficult, and even frightening at times, to try something 41 .
Recently, a popular Chinese vlogger posted videos teaching people how to take the metro and bus in cities. The first reaction of many netizens was 42 . After all, who doesn’t know how to use public transportation But soon, many others thanked the creator for her thoughtful and 43 videos because she showed people a simple-to-follow set of 44 on what to do.

Videos like these, which help people to 48 the life skills they may not have, may 49 them a lot of awkwardness.
I remember going to college in America for the first time. When younger, I had already learned many 50 skills, like cooking simple meals. The 51 was different with many of my roommates. They didn’t have these skills I consider very basic. And I didn’t know how to use the dishwasher 52 to almost every American. What my roommates and I did was help each other out by 53 our knowledge about how to do one thing or another.
It is not 54 for a farmer to learn how to ride the metro, just as it is unnecessary for a city person to learn how to raise chickens. But we can learn how to do both-—thanks to the people willing to keep a(n) 55 mind about other people and give a helping hand as well.

In January 2026, a short video adapted from Return to the Wolves sparked discussion on Chinese social media, pushing 61 16-year-old story of “Green” back into the national spotlight (关注焦点).

She brought him to Chengdu, 63 his wild nature didn’t agree with life there as he grew. So, Li decided to return him to the wild, a decision 64 (root) in love.

Their bond was marked by remarkable cross-species care: most 66 (memorable), Green brought Li his own food when she fell ill. The story reached a bittersweet end when Green 67 (accept) into a wild pack.
The story reflects a modern desire 68 genuine connection. More practically, it mirrors China’s 69 (grow) ecological awareness, together with stricter legal protections and stronger conservation efforts. Green’s howl now reminds us true compassion (怜悯) lies in respecting nature’s freedom and 70 building harmony between humanity and wilderness requires respecting every form of life.

One day Albert found a baby bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird.
Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how Keep the windows closed all the time That was not practical.”

第一节 书信范文
Dear international friends,
I’m honored to introduce a typical Chinese traditional food — dumplings to you, as part of our school’s International Culture Week.
Dumplings are one of the most beloved foods in China. With thin wrappers and delicious fillings of meat or vegetables, they taste savory and fresh. More importantly, they carry profound cultural meanings. They are a symbol of reunion and good luck, especially served during traditional festivals.
I still remember making dumplings with my family during Spring Festival when I was little. We cooperated happily and enjoyed the warm family atmosphere while tasting the tasty food.
I sincerely invite all of you to taste dumplings and experience the charm of Chinese food culture.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写范文
Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. He thought he could keep his beloved friend forever in this way. However, things went against his expectations. Locked in the narrow cage, Lucky lost its former energy and joy. It no longer chirped happily or hopped around. It just stayed quietly in the corner of the cage all day, looking depressed and helpless. Seeing Lucky’s sad appearance, Albert felt upset and confused, not knowing what was wrong with his dear friend.
Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They gently told Albert that every living creature longs for freedom. Birds belong to the vast sky instead of a small cage. Only flying freely in the open air could Lucky regain its happiness. Realizing his mistake, Albert felt ashamed. He immediately opened the cage door. Watching Lucky spread its wings and fly freely into the blue sky, Albert smiled happily. He understood that true love is not possession, but freedom and blessing.
