Her first “wings” were made of old fishing nets and bamboo. She climbed onto the roof of her house, took a deep 14 , and jumped. She fell straight into a pile of hay (干草堆). It didn’t work, but she didn’t give up.
Version (版本) 2 was made of cardboard and cloth. Version 3 used thin pieces of wood. Each time, she climbed higher and fell 15 . Her mother worried. “Why can’t you just be 16 like other girls ” she asked. “Heaven helps those who help themselves,” Elena replied with a smile.
On her twelfth try, Elena built something 17 . She had saved money for months to buy a large piece of silk. She studied how birds moved their wings and 18 a simple machine to help control them.
The morning of the test, the whole village came to watch. Some came to laugh. Others came out of 19 . Elena stood at the top of the highest cliff (悬崖) near the village. The wind was strong that day—perfect for flying. She closed her eyes, said a small 20 to herself, and jumped. For a moment, she fell. The crowd held their breath. Then the wind 21 her silk wings. She didn’t fly like a bird—she glided (滑翔) like a kite. She stayed in the air for nearly a minute before landing safely on the beach below. The village was 22 . No one laughed anymore. Elena stood up, her heart pounding with joy. She hadn’t truly flown, but she had come 23 than anyone ever had.
Years later, Elena became an engineer who designed airplane parts. She never forgot the day she jumped off the cliff. That day taught her that failure is not the opposite of success—it is the 24 of it.

三、阅读理解
My husband and I were in Nepal to see the sunrise over the Himalayas. One morning, we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I was attracted by the calm way the local people greeted the day. A man was boiling a large pot of milk tea, and villagers had gathered around his fire to enjoy the warm drink. But afraid of being left behind, we joined the tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point.
The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, most of the tourists had given up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,” one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next stop on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy. He seemed perfectly calm, playing with a stick and sometimes looking at the sky. I thought he must know something we didn’t, so I decided to wait with him.
The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Soon, a golden light broke through the clouds. The sky turned rose-colored, and the morning sun appeared — miles higher than I’d expected. Nothing could have prepared me for that sight. As the clouds slowly cleared, the great Himalayas stood before me. I sat there in complete surprise. It felt as if nature had shown me its true beauty only because I had learned to wait.
What happened that morning taught me a truth: nature offers its wonders not to those who are in a hurry, but to those who are patient and truly ready to receive them.

The 2026 Government Work Report clearly says that China will support qualified (符合条件的) areas to carry out spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students, while putting into practice the wrong-time paid leave (错峰带薪休假) system for workers. As a hot topic, the policy has been tested in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan with useful experience.
These short holidays bring many good points to students. They can lower study pressure after long-time learning and help students keep healthy both in body and mind. With nice and comfortable weather, students can go out of classrooms to take part in real activities, including farming experiences, nature watching and local culture learning. In this way, book knowledge is turned into real-life experience.
The holidays also bring good points to families. Wrong-time leave lets parents spend happy time with their children at lower costs, away from the large crowds of busy travel seasons. Many families choose to travel, visit relatives or go to museums together, making family ties closer. At the same time, the holidays help develop local tourism and economy, making a win-win situation for education and society.
However, difficulties still exist in the policy’s carrying out. The main problem is that many working parents cannot look after their children during the holidays. To solve this, many schools offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities offer more activities for students. The holidays can also be set freely according to local situations.
In short, spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students are an important educational change. They show a turn from exam-centered education to a focus on all-round development. With joint (共同的) efforts from families, schools and society, these holidays will help students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way.
36．Why are the holidays good for society and education
A．They make schools have longer teaching time.
B．They let parents spend less time with their children.
C．They make people travel only during busy seasons.
D．They help develop local tourism and create a win-win situation.
37．Which of the following statements is right
A．Staggered (错开的) leave can help families save money and avoid crowds.
B．There are no problems in carrying out the new holiday policy.
C．All places in China have already started spring and autumn holidays.
D．Students can only learn knowledge from textbooks during the holidays.
38．What can we know about the challenges of the policy
A．Schools can do nothing to help working parents.
B．Communities don’t offer any activities for students.
C．Many working parents have difficulty looking after their kids.
D．The holidays must be set in the same way across the country.
39．What does the writer think of spring and autumn holidays
A．They are an important educational change.
B．They are useless for student’ all-round development.
C．They make education pay more attention to exams only.
D．It’s unnecessary for families, schools and society to work together.
40．What is the main idea of the passage
A．How to make students become more creative.
B．The importance of developing local tourism.
C．How to help working parents look after their children.
D．The introduction of spring and autumn holidays and their influences.
Carl Behnke, a food safety expert at Purdue University, had long been curious about the actual cleanliness of his reusable water bottle. He put paper towels into the bottle and, upon pulling them out, was shocked to see how dirty they turned out to be. This encouraged him to design a study. Behnke and his workmates stopped walkers along a road at Purdue University and asked if they would be happy to lend their water bottles to them as part of their research — to see how clean they were.
“One thing that stood out from the project was the number of people who didn’t want to know the results,” recalls Behnke. “Basically, they knew that their cleaning habits were poor, with some even hardly thinking about cleaning their bottles.”
Research shows that reusable water bottles can carry millions of bacteria (细菌). A study found that water in bottles used by adults went from about 75,000 bacteria in the morning to over 1-2 million by the end of the day. Pollution often comes from the drinker’s hands, mouth, and the outside of the bottle. Those who don’t wash their hands regularly may bring bacteria into their bottles. Though most bacteria are harmless, they can put some people at risk, especially those with poor health.
Besides, drinks that have sugar can feed bacteria, making the situation worse. Although there is a small chance that we get serious illnesses from reusable bottles, it’s still important to keep good hygiene (卫生).
To cut down bacterial growth, it’s suggested to clean your water bottle regularly. Behnke’s research showed that people who used brushes or dishwashers had the lowest bacteria counts. People should clean their bottles with hot water and soap, letting the bottle sit under water for about ten minutes before washing. It’s important to let the bottle air-dry to prevent wetness, which encourages bacteria. And proper hand-washing before touching your clean bottle can also help.
41．Why does the writer mention the fact that Carl Behnke put paper towels into the bottle in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the study. B．To give an answer. C．To explain a subject. D．To tell a story.
42．What can we know about the people in the study according to Paragraph 2
A．They actively helped with the study.
B．They thought the study was necessary.
C．They were confident about the study results.
D．They were clear that they didn’t take good care of their bottles.
43．What’s a suggested way to reduce bacterial growth
A．Washing with clean, dry towels.
B．Washing hands regularly with soap.
C．Using brushes with hot, soapy water.
D．Washing for about ten minutes each time.
44．Which of the following will cause the bacteria in reusable bottles to increase
① Leave sweet drinks in the bottle.
② Touch the bottle with hands or mouth.
③ Form the habit of washing hands regularly.
④ Avoid cleaning the bottle too often.
A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①②④ D．①③④
45．What’s the purpose of writing this article
A．To introduce a famous food safety expert and his research.
B．To warn readers of the bacteria in reusable water bottles and tell how to clean them properly.
C．To explain why people should stop using reusable bottles.
D．To show different ways of testing the cleanliness of reusable water bottles.

UK schools try Chinese math
It’s well known that Chinese students often outperform (超过) their partners from others in math competitions. This is why the UK is going to try out Chinese math books and exercise papers in many of its schools.
According to China Daily, international publishers Collins Learning signed an agreement with Shanghai Century Publishing Group on March 14 to publish translated copies of Shanghai’s primary school math books. Under the agreement, Collins will print a series of 36 books, named Real Shanghai Mathematics. The series includes math textbooks, supplementary (补充性的) textbooks and teacher’s textbooks. Some primary schools in the UK will use the books for first to sixth graders in September.
The aim of this is to make UK students behave better in math by learning from the way Chinese schools teach their students the subject.
Chinese schools, represented by those in Shanghai, have marked high in math scores in all three rounds of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) since 2009. However, the UK scored far less, according to The Guardian. Still, some people worry that textbooks alone cannot solve the UK’s problem with math, as the education systems are so different.
One key difference is that Chinese schools focus on students as a whole, while those in the UK value personal performance. In Chinese schools, students are taught together as a class, with students all moving through their lessons one step at a time. However, in the UK, students in the same class are often given different work to do according to their progress.
There are also huge differences in teacher training and deployment (部署). Primary school math teachers in Shanghai teach only math for perhaps two hours a day, and the rest of the day is spent researching and improving lessons. English primary teachers are teaching all subjects, rather than specializing (专门研究) in a single area like math.
Another key difference is that students in China are likely to get far more homework than UK students. Many will also have private teachers and attend weekend school.
With so many differences in the two education systems, it remains to be seen whether Chinese math books will be good for students in the UK. However, UK Schools Minister Nick Gibb believes that they will be a huge help. “I am confident that the steps we are taking now will make sure young people are in proper preparation for further study and the 21st century workplace, and that the phrase “can’t do math” heard too often is only in the past,” he said.
Supporting details
The 56 of British schools trying Chinese math Chinese students often perform 57 than their peers from other countries in math competitions.
The 58 of trying Chinese math To 59 UK students’ performance in math.
The 60 between Chinese math teaching and the UK’s Students:Chinese students are instructed as a whole. However, in the UK personal performance really 61 a lot, and students are given different homework 62 on their progress.
Teacher training and deployment:Primary school math teachers in Shanghai teach only math; British primary teachers teach all subjects 63 of specializing in a single area like math.
Homework: 64 more homework, many Chinese students will also have private tutoring and attend weekend school.
UK Schools Minister Nick Gibb He is confident that the steps will make sure young people are properly 65 for further study and the 21st century workplace, and that the too often heard phrase “can’t do math” only exists in the past.
六、短文填空
根据短文内容，在空白处填上适当单词，使短文完整、通顺。给出单词的空格不限一词，没有给出单词的空格限一词。
In December 2025, a community in Chengdu started a creative program 66 (call) “Shared Grandmas”. It connects retired women with working families who need help picking up their children after school.
The idea came from 67 real problem. Many parents finish work late and cannot get to school on time 68 some elderly people feel lonely at home. The program solves both problems at once. Every weekday afternoon, the “grandmas” wait for the children at a small park near the school. They help with homework and play games together. “I feel much 69 (young) when I am with them,” said 68-year-old Mrs. Chen.
The program 70 (start) by a local community worker. Within just one month, over thirty cities across China had called to learn 71 Chengdu’s experience. A professor said it is one of the best 72 (example) of community support in recent years.
Of course, there are rules. Each “grandma” must pass a health check and receive short 73 (train) before joining. Families do not pay for the service, but they are expected to visit the elderly on weekends.
“This is not just about childcare,” said Mrs. Chen 74 (proud). “We are building a big family.” The community is now preparing 75 (open) a second location.
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most powerful. Shared Grandmas proves that.

Home, a place where we solve problems together
My family is far from perfect, yet it is exactly a place where we learn to solve problems together.
Last month, my father unexpectedly lost his job. In the beginning, all of us were worried. However, instead of worrying about what had happened, we sat down together and made a practical plan. My mother decided to launch an online business selling homemade cakes. I helped design posters and packed the boxes. Meanwhile, my father took charge of the housework and devoted himself to learning new skills. After a two-month effort, our little business worked.
This experience taught me a lesson: when we stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of difficulties, we will grow stronger together.
Home, a place that is never boring
I once believed home is rather dull. However, one weekend, my mom invited me to cook dinner with her. She patiently showed me how to chop vegetables and stir-fry eggs. Although I was clumsy and made quite a mess, we couldn’t stop laughing. When my dad returned home and tasted our dishes, he exclaimed with a warm smile, “This is the best meal I’ve ever had!”
That day, I came to understand that home is not about fancy words or perfect moments. Instead, it lies in small, heartwarming things—like the pleasant smell of cooking and the sweet sound of our family laughing together.
