It was the fifth straight day of heavy rain in the town of Leith. If it kept up much longer, the river would rise with rainwater and flood the town. Anna and her parents stayed glued to the TV, listening to the weather reports in fear. It had never, ever rained like this before. Luckily, it stopped on the sixth day. Everybody in Leith breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they had to take action.
The Mayor of Leith summoned the folks to a meeting, where two experts brought up different ideas. Dr. Clara Bennett, a famous engineer with a soft spot for concrete (混凝土), suggested building a concrete dam to stop the flooding. Meanwhile, Professor Felix Hawthorne, a wildlife enthusiast with a twinkle in his eye, had a unique idea — reintroducing beavers (河狸) to build their own dams. These fuzzy architects, he explained, once wove sticks, mud, and leaves into natural barriers that worked like gentle sponges, preventing river floods in Scotland.
After the experts laid out their ideas, the town hall buzzed with heated debate — voices rose, opinions clashed, and yet no common ground was found. The Mayor suggested everyone take a week to weigh the options before voting. Anna’s father, Fred, scoffed loudly the moment they left the meeting. “That professor must be crazy!” he exclaimed, “Solving flooding with beavers What a silly idea!” Anna’s mother, however, frowned thoughtfully. “It’s worth a try,” she said. “A single concrete dam built by workers won’t be as effective as several dams crafted by beavers.” Discussion stirred across town until the final vote: they would bring in the beavers!
Over the next two years, scientists reintroduced beavers from other parts of Scotland to the area around Leith. Everyone noticed a difference. It rained a lot, but the river didn’t even come close to overflowing — all thanks to the beavers’ dams.
4. How did Anna’s family feel while watching TV
A．Frightened. B．Curious. C．Calm. D．Surprised.

C．Why people fought against the flood.
D．How a natural solution saved a town from floods.

An increasing number of the youth have become more worried about the climate change than ever before. Katie Cielinski and Aaron Regunberg are millennials (千禧一代). Before marrying in 2017, the couple struggled for nearly a decade on whether to have a baby on an already crowded planet. Katie argued for raising a climate guard to fight for a healthy planet, but Aaron feared for the future climate changes their child would face.
They are hardly alone in that struggle. About 60 percent of Americans between 27 and 45 worry about the carbon footprint of bringing a child into the world, according to a 2020 survey published in the journal Climatic Change. It also found that more than 96 percent said they are concerned about the wellbeing of a child in a climatechanged world.
There is a piece of good news in all the anxiety. In the United States, the young who have the most anxiety are also the most confident that they could do something about it. They have built a widespread movement — spreading awareness and calling for action — in an effort to prompt relevant authorities to act. In 2019, millions of youths took part in the sameday movements that went throughout the globe, from Sydney to New York to Mumbai, India’s largest city.
Jennifer Atkinson is a professor of the University of Washington, Bothell. “My students feel a mix of ‘sadness, fear and anger’ at the climate changes they’ve seen in their 20odd years of life.” she says, “I don’t tell them to avoid these ‘negative emotions’ — which are not actually negative at all, but a healthy response to loss. Sadness makes us clear about what we love and do not want to lose, and anger drives us to fight against unfairness. I encourage my students to see these strong feelings as a kind of superpower to help make a better world.”
8. What causes the disagreement on whether to have a baby for the couple
A．Climate change.
B．The cost to feed it.
C．The way to raise it.
D．The crowded planet.
9. What is the function of the second paragraph according to the text
A．To list figures.
B．To give evidence.
C．To explain reasons.
D．To make comparison.
10. What does the underlined word “prompt” mean in the third paragraph
A．Prevent. B．Drive. C．Advise. D．Allow.
11. How does Atkinson guide her students to view their feelings about climate change
A．By telling them to ignore these negative emotions.
B．By reminding them that these feelings are useless.
C．By helping them replace sadness and anger with happiness.
D．By encouraging them to see the feelings as a positive superpower.
D
Earthquakes are some of the most powerful and destructive natural events on our planet. Have you ever wondered what causes them They happen because of the movement of the Earth’s crustal plates — these huge pieces of the Earth’s surface press and push against each other slowly over time. As they rub together, stress builds up in the rocks. When that stress gets too strong for the rock to handle, the rock suddenly breaks. This rupture (断裂) releases a huge amount of energy, which travels through the Earth as seismic waves (地震波). These waves are what make the ground shake violently, and the stronger the rock movement, the more powerful the earthquake — sometimes shaking even faraway areas.
While earthquakes rarely kill people directly, their consequences can be disastrous. Most injuries and deaths come from falling objects, collapsing buildings, or fires and dangerous chemical leaks that happen right after. That’s why no matter where you are, knowing how to protect yourself and your family during an earthquake is so important. For example, when you feel the ground shaking, quickly find a strong piece of furniture — like a chair, sofa, or closet. Lie down next to it, or curl up close by. If the roof falls, it might damage the furniture, but it will usually leave a small safe space next to it for you to survive.
After an earthquake, acting fast is key to saving lives and reducing damage. Governments, international organizations, and local communities need to work together to provide emergency help. This includes medical care, food, water, temporary shelter, and searchandrescue missions to find people trapped under ruins.
Earthquakes are unpredictable and devastating disasters that affect communities around the world. We can’t stop them from happening, but we can take steps to make their effects less severe — like building stronger buildings, setting up early warning systems, and planning effective response and recovery efforts. By working together, we can save more lives and build communities that are better able to bounce back after these powerful natural events.
12. Why do earthquakes occur according to paragraph 1
A．Because the Earth’s surface is too thin.
B．Because seismic waves shake the ground suddenly.
C．Because crustal plates move and cause rock rupture.
D．Because rocks on the Earth’s surface are not strong enough.
13. What should we do during an earthquake
A．Hide in a closet.
B．Stay in the bedroom.
C．Curl up under a chair.
D．Lie down next to a sofa.
14. What is the key to reducing death and damage after an earthquake
A．Quick response from local governments.
B．Timely action and cooperation at home and abroad.
C．Effective plans for immediate warning system setup.
D．Strict rules for building stronger structures in risk areas.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Earthquake Risks: Danger and Response
B．Earthquake Impacts: The Science Behind Them
C．Earthquake Causes: The Roots of Destructive Shakes
D．Earthquake Survival Tips: Ways for People to Stay Safe

The Power of Teamwork in Sports
Good morning, everyone.
Teamwork plays an important role in sports. Without good teamwork, a team can hardly achieve victory even if every member is excellent. It is teamwork that helps us overcome difficulties and bring out everyone’s strengths.
To work well as a team, first we should learn to communicate with teammates. Besides, we need to trust each other and put team interests above personal glory instead of only showing off ourselves. What’s more, supporting one another during hard times also matters a lot.
Teamwork makes us stronger. Let’s value teamwork and take an active part in team sports. Thank you!
