A
Do you sometimes wonder why some friends feel as close as family Genetics (遗传学) might have a hand in choosing your closest friends.
According to a US study with 1,932 people, friends have a kinship coefficient (亲缘系数) that is 0. 0014higher than that of strangers! The kinship coefficient is an easy way to see how genetically related (相关的) two people are-the higher the number, the closer the relationship.
Don’t look down on this number. The kinship coefficient between parents and children is about 0. 25. For first cousins, it is about 0. 0625, while for fourth cousins, it is around only 0. 001. This means you might share more genes (基因) with your best friend than with some distant (遥远的) family members.
Why are people with a high level of kinship coefficient more likely to become friends A study in Science showed that close friends usually have similar body smells. Scientists collected sweat samples (汗液样本) from20 pairs of friends. They all became close in a short time. Using an e-nose and human volunteers to study the smells, they found that friends’ body odours (体味) were more alike than those of strangers. So, next time you hug your friends, you might notice that they smell a bit like you!
9．How does the writer start the passage
A．By showing examples of close friends. B．By asking and answering a question.
C．By listing some important numbers. D．By sharing a story between friends.
10．What can the kinship coefficient show
A．How much two friends have in common.
B．How distant two friends can be from each other.
C．How close the genetic relation between two people is.
D．How long it takes for two strangers to become friends.
11．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Our best friend might be a distant family member.
B．The kinship coefficient between two friends is 0. 001.
C．Best friends have a higher kinship coefficient than first cousins.
D．Best friends may share more genetic similarities than distant relatives.
12．According to the passage, how may people become close friends
A．They like the smell of each other’s body. B．They grow at a similar pace.
C．Their body smells are similar. D．Both friends like the same smell.

The answer came on the day she went to the station to fetch the magazines. They were old magazines that people left on trains or in the waiting room. Perks said the children could have them to read, and one day Bobbie went to fetch them!
“I’ll just put some newspapers round the magazines to keep them together,” said Perks.
The magazines were heavy, and Bobbie stopped to rest on the way home. She sat on the grass and dropped them beside her. As she did this, she looked at an old newspaper and read some of the words on the page... and it was like a terrible dream.
She never remembered how she got home. But she went to her room and locked the door. Then she took the newspaper off the magazines and looked at it again. The words seemed to jump at her: FIVE YEARS IN PRISON

For an answer, Bobbie took the newspaper from under her bed and showed it to her mother. “Oh, Bobbie!” cried Mother. “You don’t believe it, do you You don’t believe Daddy is a spy ” “No!” said Bobbie.
“He’s good and honest and he’s done nothing wrong,” said Mother. “We have to remember that.”

The 2026 hit movie Dear You has moved millions of viewers with its simple but powerful story. The film
tells the story of emigrants (侨民) from Guangdong’s Chaoshan area. Though the dialogue is in the local dialect (方言), the film’s box office takings are close to 2 billion.
The movie takes place in the 1940s. At its center is Ye Shurou, who was left to raise three children alone after her husband Zheng Musheng traveled to Southeast Asia to make a living. A main thread (线) running through the story is qiaopi (侨批)—letters sent by emigrants back to their families. The letters brought Ye Shurou money and news about her husband, so day after day she could wait for him, full of hope. Though Zheng wrote letters year after year, he never came back. Many years later, the couple’s grandson Xiaowei traveled to Thailand in search of Zheng. He found a surprising fact that his grandfather had died there many years before. He also learned that Zheng had once saved a hotel owner’s life in a fire, and the owner’s daughter, Xie Nanzhi, kept writing letters to Zheng’s family for another eighteen years, carefully signing Zheng’s name every time. At the end of the movie, Ye Shurou visited Xie Nanzhi and thanked her sincerely for her quiet kindness in those qiaopi letters across thousands of miles.
Before phones and the internet, Chinese people living abroad stayed connected to their loved ones through qiaopi—letters that often included money. The word combines (结合) qiao (“overseas Chinese”) and pi (“letter”). These letters were usually short. They started with polite greetings and soon talked about practical news. Yet within just a few lines, they carried deep emotions. Some qiaopi letters travelled thousands of kilometers by ship and passed through many hands before reaching a village. The practice was added to UNESCO’s Memory of the
World Register (《世界记忆遗产名录》) in 2013.
In history, qiaopi also played an important role in supporting China during difficult times. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (抗日战争), overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia sent money and supplies; some even returned to China to join the fight, with qiaopi serving as a channel (渠道) of support.
The film is deeply rooted in Chaoshan culture. It reflects a strong sense of duty and resilience (坚韧) while also showing the strength of women in the area. The stories in Dear You may seem to belong to the past, but they still speak to people today.
17．Which pair of the following words can be put in ▲ on the mind map Ye Shurou’s Experience
A．nervous; surprised B．hopeful; shocked but thankful
C．excited; disappointed D．lonely; upset and hopeless
18．Which saying best explains why Nanzhi continued sending the letters
A．No pains, no gains. B．Kindness is never wasted.
C．Every cloud has a silver lining (银边). D．Promises (承诺) are easier made than kept.
19．What do we know about qiaopi
①Qiaopi were used before modern communication technology became common.
②Qiaopi was added to the Memory of the World Register in the 20th century.
③Every qiaopi letter contained a lot of money.
④Qiaopi letters often included practical news.
⑤During wartime, qiaopi helped overseas Chinese support China.
A．①②⑤ B．①③⑤ C．③④⑤ D．①④⑤
20．Who is this passage most probably written for
A．Film directors making historical movies.
B．Businessmen working in Southeast Asia.
C．Anyone interested in Chaoshan culture.
D．Students learning the geography of Chaoshan.

British scientist Jane Goodall, known for her great studies of chimpanzees (黑猩猩), died on Oct1, 2025 at the age of 91.
Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. When she was a little girl, she loved animals very much. Once, she even stayed in a hen house for hours just to watch how a hen laid an egg. Her parents were happy to see her love for nature and gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. This toy made Jane dream of working with animals one day.
When Jane grew up, she went to Africa to study chimpanzees. At first, the chimpanzees were scared of her.
They ran away when they saw her. But Jane didn’t give up. She sat quietly in the forest every day, watching them from far away. Slowly, the chimpanzees came close to her. She even gave them names like David and Goliath.
Jane found many amazing things about chimpanzees. She saw that they used sticks to get insects to eat.
Before that, people thought only humans could use tools. She also saw that chimpanzees loved their families.
Mothers took good care of their babies, and chimpanzees played together like children.
Later, Jane wanted to tell the world about chimpanzees. She wrote books and gave talks. She wanted people to know that chimpanzees are smart and need our help. Many forests where chimpanzees lived were cut down.
Jane started groups to protect these forests and chimpanzees.
Even when Jane was over 90 years old, she still worked hard for animals. She traveled around the world, telling kids to love nature. She said, “Every individual (个体) matters. Every individual has a role to play.” Jane

Protect the natural world
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a talk about protecting the natural world.
The natural world belongs to all of us. I think everybody should take on the responsibility of environmental protection. There are many environmental problems nowadays. For example, people cut down trees for production. Rubbish is often thrown into rivers and lakes, and many of them are polluted. Luckily, there are many things we can do to protect the natural world. We should sort the rubbish into different groups so that it can be reused and recycled better. Besides, we should learn to save energy, such as not leaving taps running all the time.
Let’s take action to save our world together!
That’s all. Thanks for your listening.
