Here are some students who shared their happy times from daily lives. This photo was taken last autumn, a time when I was having difficulty fitting into my new school life. I was encouraged by my friends who invited me to climb a mountain. During the trip their comforting words helped to clear away my bad feelings. To me, friends are like treasure: they not only bring me happiness, but also shape who I am. Chen Haoyu, 16, Guangdong In August 2023, we traveled to Singapore for vacation. We visited a beach for a night light show. As the song played, “You’re traveling, far from home; don’t be afraid; you’re not alone,” I suddenly wanted to hold my mom’s hand, as the words perfectly described us. Happiness in travel comes and goes, but having a loved one by our side is what happiness truly means. Bian Jiuming, 15, Yunnan During my graduation (毕业) trip, I chose to climb a mountain by myself. At the top of the mountain, seeing the sun and listening to the running water, I felt happiness entering every part of my body. Happiness is like climbing higher, warm and bright like the sun. The unexpected moments and challenges (挑战) of the climb are the gifts of happiness. Liu Xinrui, 15, Hubei 41. What helped Chen Haoyu feel better? A. The new school life. B. Sights in the mountain. C.

B “When I was little, I always lost myself in buildings,” said Edna Blaise, 29, from Haiti, “but it was not until I started my journey in China that I noticed Chinese architecture (建筑) has so many things to offer.” Blaise is now studying architecture at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Before coming to China, Blaise expected the buildings in China to be in a traditional style (风格) just like the ones she would see in movies. “But after I came here, I found that it’s more developed now.” said Blaise. It was her interest in maths as well as her love for art that encouraged her to study architecture. The subject perfectly connects these two fields. “And because China is one of the oldest countries, I think there’s a lot I can learn here,” Blaise said. “The skills they have are better than those in a lot of other countries.” “Outside of class, I like to go to different places around the city where I can see ancient Chinese architecture like ‘Gugong’ and ‘Qianmen’. I’m hoping to find some ideas for my design (设计) from these beautiful landmarks,” Blaise said. She usually has her camera with her on these trips to take photos of something interesting. By doing this, she can learn from Chinese traditional architecture and put traditional ideas into her designs. 45. What is Blaise studying at the Central Academy of Fine Arts? A. Maths. B. Movies. C. Art. D. Architecture. 46. What does Blaise think of Chinese architecture now? A. Buildings in China are in an old style. B. It is the same as what she saw in movies. C. Chinese have great skills in architecture D. Chinese architecture has few things to offer. 47. Why does Blaise travel around Beijing outside of class? A. To enjoy the sights in the city. B. To look for ideas for her design. C. To build better landmarks for Beijing. D. To make more Chinese friends. 48. In which part of a newspaper can you find the passage? A. Culture. B. Language. C. Health D. Science. C In the present age, people weigh their popularity by the number of likes and followers they get on social media (社交媒体). But as it turns out, people are happiest when their friends are high quality (质量). Scientists from the University of Leeds, UK, studied nearly 1,500 people. Those people gave information about their age, social communication, and how satisfied they were with their social lives. The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends were happier than those who had a large number of superficial friends. The study also found that older people had smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles were closer to them. Younger people, on the other hand, had bigger circles that included more people who are not true friends, but just people they know. These people didn’t improve the younger people’s happiness. “Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, but more to do with your feelings about your friends,” said Wandi Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers. “The research shows that older people’s smaller circle of friends didn’t undermine (破坏) social satisfaction and happiness. In fact, the older are shown to be happier than the younger in the result,” said the researcher. 49. Who may be the happiest according to the research? A. Lily, who has a large circle of friends. B. Zoe, who hardly uses social media. C. Jack, who has a few high quality friends. D. Amy, who is very popular on Douyin. 50. What does the underlined word “superficial” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. 重感情的 B. 关系浅的 C. 受欢迎的 D. 爱玩乐的 51. What does loneliness have to do with according to Wandi Bruine de Bruin? A. How old your friends are. B. How often you make friends. C. How many friends you have. D. How you feel about your friends. 52. What can be the best title (标题) for the passage? A. Close Friends Make You Happier B. Never Be Afraid of Loneliness C. Social Media is Important to Us D. Make Friends on Social Media D 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题的词数要求）。 At the beginning of the school year, each student would be given a special job. Rita, a quiet and hard-working girl, hoped for an exciting job, like taking care of the class plants. But she only received a small box with an ant (蚂蚁). Even though the teacher said that this job was very special, Rita could not help feeling sad. However, she decided to do her best with her new job. She began to study and care for the ant, learning about its living conditions and needs. She made the box a comfortable home for the ant, and it grew much bigger than anyone expected. Rita’s efforts caught the attention of her science teacher, Mr Thompson. He turned her work into a class project, and Rita became the class expert (专家) on ants. Her hard work helped the class learn about ants. They even built a small ant farm in the classroom to see the ant closely. As the school year progressed, Rita’s classmates became more and more interested in the ant project. They started asking her questions. Rita felt proud to share what she knew and see her classmates so interested. At the end of the year, the school chose Rita’s class as the best of the year. They praised (赞扬) Rita for her hard work and how she turned a small job into something big. Now Rita knows that every job, no matter how small, can make a big difference. 53.
