Coming of Age Day
Japan
Coming of Age Day (Seijin no Hi) is a significant national holiday in Japan. It dates back to 714 AD when a prince marked his adulthood through robe (袍服) and hairstyle changes. It was originally celebrated in 1948, and since 2009, it has been held on the second Monday of January.
On this day, girls wear kimonos while men choose formal outfit. They attend ceremonies at local city halls, where leaders talk about adult responsibilities. After that, they visit temples, take photos, and celebrate with friends. Families also have meals with alcohol as young adults reach the legal drinking age.
China
This Japanese tradition has roots in ancient Chinese coming-of-age rituals (仪式).
In ancient China, the capping ceremony, Guan Li, was a major event for 20-year-old men. It began with hair-styling and pinning, followed by wearing three special caps, and then receiving a “courtesy name (字)”, a requirement for marriage. For 15-year-old girls, Ji Li was important. Their hair decorated with hairpins meant marriage readiness and entry into a more responsible life stage.
Today, in modern China, coming of age ceremonies is usually celebrated with high school graduation at 18. Additionally, Guan Li and Ji Li are making a comeback in some regions. During these ceremonies, 18-year-olds wear Hanfu and pay tribute (致敬) to their forefathers, breathing new life into these time-honored traditions.

Huang Xuhua, chief designer of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines (核潜艇), passed away at the age of 99.
Huang Xuhua was born in 1926 in Guangdong. In 1949, he graduated from the Department of Shipbuilding Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His early interest in engineering and devotion to learning laid the foundation for his future work.
In 1958, Huang Xuhua was chosen to lead the development of China’s first-generation nuclear submarines. At that time, China had almost no experience in this technology and faced many difficulties. However, he and his team started from the very beginning and after years of painstaking attempts, China finally built its first nuclear-powered submarine in less than 13 years, becoming the fifth nation to have such submarines.
To keep secrecy, Huang Xuhua remained anonymous for 30 years. He left home and put all his heart into the work. During this period, he could not return home or communicate with his parents. Even when his father passed away, he was unable to attend the funeral.
In 1988, at 62, Huang Xuhua personally took part in the deep-dive test of the nuclear submarine. Although the submarine might implode (内爆), he was brave enough to go down 300 meters with the crew and successfully completed the test, becoming the first chief designer in the world to do so.
Huang Xuhua was humble and lived a simple life. He refused to be called the “Father of China’s Nuclear Submarines”, saying that it was the team’s contribution. He also donated over 20 million yuan to scientific research, popular science, and educational institutions.
The passing of Huang Xuhua is a great loss, but his spirit of devotion and patriotism (爱国主义) will forever inspire us. His name, once “hidden deep in the ocean”, will now be “deeply remembered in the hearts of the people”.

B．It was considered totally safe for the crew.
C．Huang Xuhua set a world record by taking part in it.
D．Many other chief designers joined the test together.
7. Which of the following words may best describe Huang Xuhua

B．Generous and broad-minded.
C．Devoted and patriotic.
D．Determined and energetic.
C
On Christmas Day in 1968, a young boy asked who was driving the Apollo 8 spacecraft. Bill Anders, one of the astronauts, replied, “I think Isaac Newton is doing most of the driving.” From leaving lunar orbit until splashdown, the spacecraft’s path was almost entirely set by the law of universal gravitation, much like a falling rock.
Today, NASA’s Artemis II mission follows a similar path. Unlike earlier missions such as Apollo 8, which relied on precise engine bursts to enter lunar orbit, Integrity, Artemis II capsule, flew a special figure-of-eight path and has used its main engine only twice, once to change its orbit around Earth, once to leave it. It simply cruised past the Moon, reaching a farther distance than any previous astronauts, before beginning the long fall back to Earth.
Though the four astronauts did not frequently operate the engine, they kept busy observing the Moon’s far side. They studied Mare Orientale, a huge ancient crater (月球环形山), and Pierazzo, a small crater named after a female scientist. Scientists believe this short observation will bring few new scientific findings. The most touching moment came when the astronauts found an unnamed crater. They suggested naming it Carroll in memory of the commander’s late wife. This warm choice carried deep feelings rather than scientific data.
Artemis II was never designed for major scientific breakthroughs. Its greatest value lies in emotion and inspiration. Fifty years ago, Bill Anders took the famous Earthrise photo. Artemis II brings back that same sense of wonder, reminding people on Earth of the beauty of space and human exploration.
However, future lunar missions to build a Moon base will gradually become routine. The excitement of early space travel may fade amid daily affairs. Spaceships can move forward relying on gravity, but space programs cannot. To keep public passion and support lasting for years, humans need new discoveries, fresh dreams and new goals, instead of simply repeating past achievements.
8. Why did Bill Anders say Issac Newton was driving Apollo 8
A．Newton once worked on the Apollo program.
B．The spacecraft mainly moved under gravity.
C．The crew learned driving skills from Newton’s books.
D．The spacecraft was falling back to Earth like a rock.
9. What is different between Artemis II and Apollo 8
A．Artemis II didn’t use any engines during the flight.
B．Apollo 8 failed to enter the lunar orbit finally.
C．Apollo 8 flew farther than Artemis II around the Moon.
D．Artemis II traveled along a special figure-of-eight path.
10. What can we learn about the crater named Carroll
A．It stands for the astronauts’ sincere feelings.
B．It was named to honor a female scientist.
C．It is a well-known ancient huge crater.
D．It has provided plenty of new scientific data.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards future Moon base missions
A．Supportive. B．Satisfied. C．Concerned. D．Indifferent.
D
Human children often copy their friends’ preferences for toys or clothes. A new study shows this kind of imitation is not unique to humans. Wild parrots also learn to try new foods by copying their peers.
Animals living in cities frequently come across unfamiliar things to eat. For them, adding new food to their diet is important. However, most animals are cautious about strange food, for it may be poisonous or carry parasites. Many animals use social learning to decide whether to take the risk. They learn by watching or interacting with other animals. This way has been found in jackdaws, rooks and rats, yet related studies on wild animals are still rare compared with lab experiments.
To learn about this, researchers studied over 700 wild sulphur-crested cockatoos(葵花凤头鹦鹉) in Sydney. First, two parrots in each group were trained to eat artificially colored blue and red almonds. Then, food containers with both colored almonds(杏仁) were placed in each group for 10 days.
The results were striking. In one group, parrots began eating the colored almonds just seven minutes after watching the trained parrots. In another group, it took less than one minute. In a third group with no trained parrots, no birds touched the new food until four days later. After a 20-day experiment, a total of 349 cockatoos in all five groups ate the colored almonds.
Researchers also found obvious differences in whom the parrots chose to copy. Male parrots mainly influenced other males. Females, however, would change their habits according to social information, no matter who they observed. Young parrots turned out to be highly conformist, always copying the choices of most group members. Adult parrots acted differently — they cared more about the behavior of their close partners rather than the majority. Since young parrots move around more often, copying local birds helps them quickly find safe new food sources. Experts believe this ability explains why sulphur-crested cockatoos live so well in Australian cities. Young cockatoos keep updating their preferences by learning from others. Further studies will be carried out to explore social learning among cockatoos in larger areas.
12. According to the text, what is the main purpose of animals using social learning
A．To build stronger relationships with group members.
B．To show their high position within the group.
C．To teach their young how to survive in the wild.
D．To evaluate the safety of unfamiliar food sources.
13. What can be inferred from the experiment results
A．Trained parrots have higher intelligence than others.
B．Social learning plays a key role in parrots’ food choices.
C．Colored almonds are more attractive to young parrots.
D．Adult parrots refuse to try any new food.
14. How do young parrots differ from adult parrots in social learning
A．Young parrots follow the majority, while adults follow close partners.
B．Young parrots only learn from females,while adults learn from males.
C．Young parrots avoid strange food,while adults take more risks.
D．Young parrots dare to take risks while adults refuse new food.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A．Wild parrots face serious food problems in cities.
B．Young parrots are better at surviving than adults.
C．Wild parrots adapt to new food through social learning.
D．Scientists are studying how to protect wild parrots.

47. 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。
It all began one ordinary afternoon in world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new group project. We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we each wrote down the names of three friends we hoped to work with. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B said she would consider our choices and announce the groups the next day. I had no doubt that I would be with my best friend. We had chosen each other.
The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. B called for our attention and started to read out the group lists. When she reached group three, my best friend’s name was called, followed by three others—but not mine. There had to be some mistakes!
Then I heard my name in the last group—with Linn, who always kept to herself, Marsha, who had just transferred to our school from South Africa, and Jeremy, who spoke typical Japanese English!
Tears welled up in my eyes. How could I face being in a group with “the invisible”! I just wanted to be with my friends.
Fighting back tears, I walked up to Mrs. B She seemed to know what I was going to say. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why ” I started.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder, “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I’m counting on you to help them do the job well. Only you can.” She looked into my eyes and continued, “Get to know them, and you might be surprised at what they can do.”
I was stunned, humbled, and deeply moved. “So, will you help them ” she asked. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied.
I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job.

I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. At first, the room was silent and no one dared to speak. I broke the ice and asked each of them about their strengths. Linn was good at drawing, Marsha knew lots of foreign cultural stories and Jeremy was skilled at writing headlines. We divided tasks properly and cooperated every afternoon after class. Gradually, we chatted and laughed freely while working.
The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. I learned that every person has shining points hidden inside. I used to only stick to my old friends, but now I’m willing to get close to quiet or new classmates. This project taught me never to judge people before truly knowing them.
