China is planning to build the world’s largest national park system. It aims to have a system of 49 parks covering 1.1 million km by 2035, about three times the size of the US National Park System.
So far, China has officially established five national parks. Here is a look at them, all of which are worth a visit.
Name Area (km2) Features
Giant Panda National Park 22,000 Protecting the homes of most of China’s 1,900 wild giant pandas.
Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park 14,100 Saving rare animals like the Amur tiger and leopard. It also helps them move and have babies safely.
Sanjiangyuan National Park 190,700 Glaciers, high-altitude wetlands, grasslands, deserts, and beautiful lakes.
Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park 4,269 China’s largest tropical rainforest. It has many plants and animals, including 33% of China’s reptiles and 38% of its birds.
Wuyi Mountain National Park 1,280 Famous Danxia landforms with red cliffs and deep valleys.
Mei Zhang, CEO of WildChina, says, “China’s national park system will surpass the US version. The US model, like Yellowstone, was good at protecting wilderness areas, but it also made mistakes. For example, they moved the local people away to create a look of undeveloped wilderness.” “In contrast,” Zhang says, “China can try a new way. By developing a close connection between local people and wild animal protection, China can form a national park system combining culture and environmental management.”
Building such a huge park system is a big dream. But China has a history of finishing big projects quickly, like the longest dam and the largest high-speed rail network. Now, China is using its power to show the world its beautiful natural scenery.

One summer evening years ago, Melissa Barbanell and her 7-year-old son, Calvin, headed to a park across the street from their home in Salt Lake City. She was on in-line skates, and he was on his bike. As they stood at the crosswalk, Barbanell noticed a pickup truck speeding toward them. Just then, Calvin started to cross the street.
“I told my son to stop,” she remembered. But then the unthinkable happened. “The pickup truck hit him, knocking him off the bike and across the road, where I saw him apparently lifeless. And the truck drove away.” Barbanell was unable to move.
That’s when her unsung hero appeared: a woman in her 30s with light brown hair. The woman had been jogging in the park, and when she saw what happened, she sprinted across the street. She turned out to be the perfect person to help. “She came to me and she said she was a nurse,” Barbanell said. “And she went to my son... She examined him, and she said the words, ‘He’s breathing. He has a pulse.’” Barbanell felt great relief — here was a competent person who would do everything she could to save her son’s life. “At that moment, she was the person who allowed me to come back into my body, and to go on,” Barbanell said. The woman held Calvin’s head still until emergency vehicles arrived.
In the months that followed, the driver of the pickup was identified and prosecuted (起诉) for a hit-and-run. Calvin recovered from his injuries — which included damage to his liver and brain — over the next several years. Today, he’s 21 and recently graduated from his local community college with an electronics technician certificate.
In the blur (迷糊) after the accident, Barbanell lost track of her unsung hero. She doesn’t know who the woman was, and she didn’t get her name. “But the woman that day — who allowed me to go on in the face of not knowing if my child was dead or alive — will be with me forever,” she said.
4．What made Barbanell unable to move
A．She was injured in the accident and couldn’t stand up.
B．She was at a loss at seeing the pickup truck drive away.
C．She was frightened after seeing her son get hit by a truck.
D．She was terrified seeing a pickup truck speeding toward them.
5．What does the underlined word “sprinted” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Ran at full speed. B．Stepped over hurriedly.
C．Pulled over quickly. D．Offered help voluntarily.
6．What can we infer from the third paragraph
A．Barbanell felt hopeful as her son was still breathing.
B．Barbanell felt excited to have a nurse to save her son.
C．The woman’s timely help made Barbanell feel at ease.
D．The woman was a competent doctor to save the child.
7．Which column of a newspaper does this text belong to
A．Hot news. B．Medical and health care.
C．Transportation. D．Good people and good deeds.
Oysters (牡蛎) are called “ecosystem engineers”. They build reefs (礁) using living oysters and shells left by past generations. As important parts of ocean environments, oyster reefs offer shelters for hundreds of sea creatures and keep the natural balance of sea waters. Unfortunately, fishing activities and coastal development have caused severe damage, and around 85 percent of oyster reefs across Australia have disappeared so far.
To save the fading reefs, researchers have been working hard to create man-made habitats for oysters. They first studied natural oyster reefs carefully and made an important discovery: natural reefs are not just random piles of shells, but well-organized three-dimensional (三维的) structures.
The shape of a reef plays a key role in the survival of sea life and the growth speed of the reef itself. To figure out whether this rule can work in man-made reefs, the researchers used 3D imaging technology to examine surviving Sydney rock oyster reefs. Based on the collected data, they built computer models and designed 16 types of concrete units with different heights and shapes. These units were placed in three bays near natural reefs. For a long time, the team kept tracking young oysters to record their settlement, growth and survival conditions.
The final results showed that the most effective designs were neither the tallest nor the most difficult ones. The best structures copied features of natural reefs, offering plenty of small hidden spaces. These spaces could protect baby oysters from natural enemies and bad environmental influences. Although total surface area matters, young oysters are tiny and easily affected by outside threats. It is meaningless to attract large numbers of young oysters if the reef cannot keep them alive.
This research brings practical advice for the recovery of global oyster reefs. Professor Joshua Madin points out that nature has created perfect designs for reefs. People just need to learn these natural rules and put them into use, so that oyster reefs can grow better and last longer.
8．Why are oysters called “ecosystem engineers”
A．They control reef growth speed.
B．They help shape coastal habitats.
C．They balance the climate of the sea.
D．They show many different kinds of sea life.
9．What is the main purpose of the scientists’ research in Paragraph 3
A．To compare different kinds of wild oysters in Australia.
B．To improve the 3D imaging technology for sea research.
C．To find out if the reef structure really works as expected.
D．To record the total number of oysters in three nearby bays.
10．What did the best design of oyster reefs feature
A．Many difficult designs.
B．Fully closed structures.
C．Widely spaced structures.
D．Plenty of small sheltered spaces.
11．What does the author imply in the last paragraph
A．Destroyed oyster reefs are difficult to rebuild.
B．Man-made reefs can fully replace natural ones.
C．The recovery of reefs depends on new technical ways.
D．Nature gives us a good example for the recovery of oyster reefs.
Joyce Loaiza lives alone in a community for older people in the American state of Florida. When she is home, the retired office worker often talks with a friendly female voice that asks about her day. A few kilometers away, the same voice helped 83-year-old Deanna Dezern when her friend died. In New York State, it plays games and music for 92-year-old Marie Broadbent. And in Washington State, it helps 83-year-old Jan Worrell make new friends.
The women are some of the first in the United States to receive the robot ElliQ made by Intuition Robotics. The device looks like a small table light and it has an eyeless, mouthless head that lights up and turns. It remembers each user’s interests and their talks, helping create a special experience with each new discussion. They can be as deep as the meaning of life or as light as a small joke.
ElliQ also plays music and provides creative and spiritual sayings. On a video screen that comes with it, it shows different cities and places of interest. The device leads exercises, asks about the owner’s health, and gives reminders to take medicines and drink water. It can also support video calls and contact family, friends, or doctors in an emergency. The robots are mostly sent out by state agencies in New York, Florida, Michigan, Nevada and Washington. But they can also be bought individually for $600 a year plus $250 to set it up.
Brigham Young University professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad studies the effects of loneliness on health. Holt-Lunstad worries that a device like ElliQ might have short-term helpful effects but it could make people less likely to seek human contact. She said that the unpleasant feeling of loneliness should motivate people to reconnect socially.
Charlotte Mather-Taylor is director of the Broward County, Florida, Area Agency on Aging. She believes these ElliQs help senior people out of loneliness. She said, “We’ve seen very positive results from them. People generally like them and they make them smile and bring joy.”
12．How does the author make ElliQ impressive in Paragraph 1
A．By interviewing experts.
B．By giving instructions for use.
C．By giving examples of user experience.
D．By providing the sales of ElliQ among the elderly.
13．Why does ElliQ attract senior people
A．It leads them to work out to keep fit.
B．It works as a considerate companion.
C．It makes them feel isolated and lonely.
D．It shares the meaning of life with them.
14．What can we infer from Professor Julianne Holt-Lunstad’s opinion
A．Senior people enjoy living a social life.
B．ElliQ can’t take the place of human contact.
C．ElliQ is not effective in handling loneliness.
D．People can be addicted to talking to the robot ElliQ.
15．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A．To report the new use of AI.
B．To stress the importance of human contact.
C．To research on how to deal with loneliness.
D．To promote the sales of a new product of AI.
Investing (投资) in yourself is the most valuable investment you can make in your life. It focuses on improving your overall ability, building a positive attitude and enriching your inner self. 16 Below are several useful and effective ways to invest in yourself and make you a better person.
Keep reading every day. 17 Books pass on wisdom, experience and different views from people of all times. You can choose books related to your study, job or personal interests to widen your sight and increase your knowledge.

Maintain positive social relationships. The people around you greatly influence your growth and state of mind. 19 Good social ties can bring you courage, support and new ideas. Learn to talk with others honestly, share experiences and stay away from negative people who waste your energy.
20 Mental health is the basis of long-term self-improvement. In fast-paced daily life, pressure and worry are unavoidable. You can practice quiet thinking, keep a diary or have a good rest to let out bad feelings. A stable and positive mind helps you keep improving yourself steadily.

57．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a snowy night, just a few days before Christmas. And two dogs were walking slowly through the snowy road, looking for a place to stay. One of them, Pepper, was tired because she was going to give birth to little dogs soon. Her husband, Cooper, kept looking around for a warm. and safe place where they could rest. The cold wind was blowing hard, and they needed to find shelter before it got even colder. They were not just homeless animals— they had owners once, but somehow, they had been left on their own.
Gus, a man who worked to protect animals, was driving home when he saw the two dogs on the road. It was snowing so heavily, and Gus could hardly see through his car’s headlights, but he noticed the dogs were wearing collars (项圈) with name tags.
He parked his truck and walked to them slowly. To his joy, the dogs didn’t run away. Instead, they looked up at him with tired eyes. “Let’s get you into the truck first,” he said softly, gently lifting them inside. By the time he settled into the driver’s seat, Pepper and Cooper had curled up (蜷曲) together on the passenger seat, grateful for the warmth.
Gus dialed the number on the tags, his heart dropping when a man answered impatiently. “I gave those dogs away. They’ re not mine anymore.”
“Who did you give them to ” Gus asked, concern shading his voice.
“I don’t know their names.”
“Do you want them back ”
“No. I can’t take care of them.” The man hung up, leaving Gus with the cold reality: these dogs were given up with no home at all in this world.
注意：
1.续写词数应为100左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“What could I do to help them ” Gus was lost in thought.

56．Good morning, everyone!
Nowadays, many of us are easily addicted to scrolling through short videos in spare time. Though they bring instant fun, they do great harm to us. They waste plenty of precious time, reduce our concentration and even affect our study efficiency. Besides, such superficial entertainment offers little valuable knowledge.
Therefore, I sincerely appeal to everyone to put down your phones. Instead of wasting time on short videos, we should spend more time reading good books. Reading broadens our horizons, enriches our minds and shapes our personalities. Let’s develop a good reading habit and grow steadily with books.
Thank you!
57．“What could I do to help them ” Gus was lost in thought. Feeling both sad and determined, he sighed, deciding to take the poor dogs to his home without hesitation. Once there, he carefully placed them in a soft blanket near the fireplace, where Cooper sat with Pepper together gently, ensuring she was comfortable. The warmth of the fire wrapped around the homeless dogs like a comforting embrace, melting away their tiredness and fear, as well as the sadness that had settled in Gus’s eyes. A wave of pity and compassion washed over him. Gus realized that the loyal companions needed more than just a temporary shelter. It was a warm Christmas and the permanent love and care that they truly deserved! Outside the window, snow continued to fall quietly, enveloping the world in a soft white stillness, while inside, the crackling fire and the gentle breathing of the dogs created a haven of warmth and peace.
