It all began with a commercial. On TV, I watched a baby taking his first steps just before his family set off for a trip to Walt Disney World. Watching this, I realized that I also wanted to walk into Disneyland Park. I immediately asked my parents if I could go there. For most children, this would have been a simple request. But for me, it was far from ordinary. I was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), which prevented me from walking on my own.
My father and I made a deal: If I wanted to make my dream come true, I needed to become stronger, build more confidence, and practice diligently. Over the next three years, I worked closely with physical therapists. I used a walker and spent countless hours practicing walking, standing, and balancing — all essential skills needed to achieve my goal.
On June 9, I found myself standing in the tunnel that led into Main Street, taking in my surroundings. My father asked if I needed any assistance. I quickly responded, “No!” and positioned myself to face the end of the tunnel. My heart was beating so hard that I thought it might leap out of my chest. Then, I began walking. At first, my steps were slow, but gradually I picked up speed, comforted and encouraged by the support of my friends and family.
As I was making my way. I suddenly lost my balance and my focus, bumping (撞上) into something. Fortunately, we had prepared for this kind of situation in advance. Standing up and gathering all my strength. I picked up my pace once again. Before long, the cheers grew louder as I made it to the end, where my mother awaited with tears of joy and arms open wide, ready to embrace me and express her pride. It was all because of people around me that I was able to grow so much both physically and mentally. I benefited a lot from their constant push and encouragement.
4. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1?

C. He preferred to watch TV commercials. D. He intended to travel around the world.
5. How did the author feel right before crossing the tunnel?

A. Generous and gentle. B. Responsible and reliable.

A new study suggests that particles (颗粒) found in wildfire smoke could increase the risk of getting dementia (痴呆症). Dementia is a progressive brain condition that causes thinking problems and other health issues. There are several forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症).
The study centered on a substance called PM2.5. The substance is a mixture of small, solid particles and water drops found in the air. PM2.5 particles are about 30 times smaller than a human hair. They can be breathed into the lungs and then move on to the blood stream. Existing evidence shows this kind of pollution — from traffic, factories and fires — can cause or worsen heart disease. The new study finds it could also raise dementia risks.
Claire Sexton is the director of scientific programs for the Alzheimer’s Association. She said in a statement the study shows that increasing wildfires, especially in the American west, are an increasing threat to brain health. Sexton added that the findings indicate the importance of making policies to prevent wildfires and investigating better methods to address them.
Researchers from the University of Washington and the University of Pennsylvania carried out the study. They examined health records of 1.2 million older adults in Southern California between 2009 and 2019. The scientists used air quality monitoring and other data to estimate how much PM 2.5 was released from wildfire smoke or other ways over three years.
The study found the risk of being diagnosed with dementia increased about 21 percent for every 1 microgram increase in the concentration of wildfire particles. That compared with a 3 percent increased risk for every 3 microgram increase in non-wildfire particles.
It is not clear why this difference exists. But with wildfires increasing, this issue needs more study, said Alzheimer’s Association chief science officer Maria Carrillo. She said it is especially important because the risk of Alzheimer’s — the most common form of dementia — is higher for lower-income populations who may have a harder time avoiding unhealthy air.
8. What can we know about PM2.5 particles from the text?
A PM2.5 particles are as small as a human hair.
B. PM2.5 particles only exist in wildfire smokes.
C. PM2.5 particles can enter the blood through lungs.
D. PM2.5 particles can result in various kinds of diseases.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The research process. B. The research purpose.
C. The research findings. D. The research subjects.
10. What will the researchers probably focus on?
A. The impact of PM2.5 on Alzheimer’s disease.
B The link between PM2.5 exposure and dementia risk.
C. The reduction of PM2.5 emissions from traffic and factories.
D. The development of new air quality monitoring technologies.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Wildfires Are Getting More Frequent B. Dementia Cases Rise Among Elderly
C. PM2.5 Affects Hearts More Than Brains D. Wildfire Smoke May Increase Dementia Risk
D
About 200 freshwater dolphins were found dead in Lake Tefé of the Amazon River in Brazil during a period of severe dry weather last year. That is why a team of biologists, animal doctors, and fishermen temporarily captured some river dolphins recently to study their health. The researchers hope the findings will help protect the dolphins from another weather disaster.
One of the captured dolphins was a female with her offspring (幼崽) nearby. Fishermen were careful not to injure her and kept her close to her offspring to avoid stressing the animals. “She relaxed and we could do all the tests. She appeared in good health.” said project leader Miriam Marmontel, a researcher at the Mamiraua Institute of Sustainable Development based in Tefé, Brazil. The organization planned the temporary capture of up to 20 dolphins.
The team took blood from the animals and performed other medical tests The work included removing a small amount of fat to see if harmful chemicals were in the dolphin’s body. They also put microchips in the animals to follow their movements.
The Solimoes River feeds water into Lake Tefé. Unusually dry weather last year caused water levels in the river to drop. As a result, the water became warmer than usual. Thousands of fish also died in the Amazon rivers because of a lack of oxygen in the water.
Many Amazon river dolphins are the color pink. They are found only in the rivers of South America, and they are among only a few kinds of freshwater dolphins still living in the world. Because they reproduce slowly, threats to their environment can more easily reduce their populations.
Marmontel said researchers hope to better understand what caused last year’s deaths, so that experts and officials can react faster to the effects of this year’s dry weather.
“We aim to learn more about the health of the dolphins at a time when water begins to go down and temperatures start to rise, so we can identify the changes and know whether they are due to higher temperatures or a pollutant in the water,” she told Reuters.
12. What does the underlined word “captured” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Caught. B. Chose. C. Cloned. D. Combined.
13. How did the researchers study the river dolphins’ health?
A. By interviewing local fishermen. B. By conducting tests on some dolphins.
C. By observing their behavior in the wild. D. By analyzing the water quality of the lake.
14. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 5?
A. To discuss the consequences of climate change.
B. To advocate for immediate conservation actions.
C. To add some backgrounds of the Amazon river dolphins.
D. To stress the importance of protecting Amazon river animals.
15. What can we learn from Marmontel’s words?
A. Researchers have already identified the cause of last year’s deaths.
B. Researchers are focusing on the effects of higher temperatures on the dolphins.
C. Researchers are trying to associate dolphin health with environmental changes.
D. Researchers are predicting a similar disaster this year based on weather patterns.

Emma was a lively girl, always full of energy and curiosity. Among her hobbies, flying kites was her favorite. It was more than just a fun activity—it was a special time she shared with her grandfather, who had always been a central figure in her life.
On her sixteenth birthday, Emma’s grandfather gave her a gift that she would always treasure: a bright red kite with a long, colorful tail. The moment Emma saw it, she was filled with joy. This kite was special not only because it was beautiful, but because it came from her grandfather, with whom she had spent many wonderful afternoons in the park, flying kites and making happy memories.
One sunny afternoon, Emma decided to fly the kite by herself. The sky was clear, with a gentle breeze (微风) -perfect for flying. As the kite soared higher and higher into the sky, Emma felt a sense of freedom and excitement. The kite danced gracefully in the wind, and she couldn’t help but smile as she guided it.
However, just as Emma was lost in the joy of the moment, a strong wind suddenly caught the kite and pulled it out of her hands. Emma watched in shock as the kite was swept away, flying farther and farther into the distance. She ran after it, but it was too late. The kite was gone. Emma felt a deep sense of loss, not just because she had lost the kite, but because it represented the special bond she had with her grandfather.
In the days that followed, Emma couldn’t shake the sadness that hung over her. The park, which had always been a place of joy and laughter, now seemed quiet and empty. Each time she visited, she was reminded of the red kite and the precious moments she had shared with her grandfather.

It all began with a commercial. On TV, I watched a baby taking his first steps just before his family set off for a trip to Walt Disney World. Watching this, I realized that I also wanted to walk into Disneyland Park. I immediately asked my parents if I could go there. For most children, this would have been a simple request. But for me, it was far from ordinary. I was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫), which prevented me from walking on my own.
My father and I made a deal: If I wanted to make my dream come true, I needed to become stronger, build more confidence, and practice diligently. Over the next three years, I worked closely with physical therapists. I used a walker and spent countless hours practicing walking, standing, and balancing — all essential skills needed to achieve my goal.
On June 9, I found myself standing in the tunnel that led into Main Street, taking in my surroundings. My father asked if I needed any assistance. I quickly responded, “No!” and positioned myself to face the end of the tunnel. My heart was beating so hard that I thought it might leap out of my chest. Then, I began walking. At first, my steps were slow, but gradually I picked up speed, comforted and encouraged by the support of my friends and family.
As I was making my way. I suddenly lost my balance and my focus, bumping (撞上) into something. Fortunately, we had prepared for this kind of situation in advance. Standing up and gathering all my strength. I picked up my pace once again. Before long, the cheers grew louder as I made it to the end, where my mother awaited with tears of joy and arms open wide, ready to embrace me and express her pride. It was all because of people around me that I was able to grow so much both physically and mentally. I benefited a lot from their constant push and encouragement.

A new study suggests that particles (颗粒) found in wildfire smoke could increase the risk of getting dementia (痴呆症). Dementia is a progressive brain condition that causes thinking problems and other health issues. There are several forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症).
The study centered on a substance called PM2.5. The substance is a mixture of small, solid particles and water drops found in the air. PM2.5 particles are about 30 times smaller than a human hair. They can be breathed into the lungs and then move on to the blood stream. Existing evidence shows this kind of pollution — from traffic, factories and fires — can cause or worsen heart disease. The new study finds it could also raise dementia risks.
Claire Sexton is the director of scientific programs for the Alzheimer’s Association. She said in a statement the study shows that increasing wildfires, especially in the American west, are an increasing threat to brain health. Sexton added that the findings indicate the importance of making policies to prevent wildfires and investigating better methods to address them.
Researchers from the University of Washington and the University of Pennsylvania carried out the study. They examined health records of 1.2 million older adults in Southern California between 2009 and 2019. The scientists used air quality monitoring and other data to estimate how much PM 2.5 was released from wildfire smoke or other ways over three years.
The study found the risk of being diagnosed with dementia increased about 21 percent for every 1 microgram increase in the concentration of wildfire particles. That compared with a 3 percent increased risk for every 3 microgram increase in non-wildfire particles.
It is not clear why this difference exists. But with wildfires increasing, this issue needs more study, said Alzheimer’s Association chief science officer Maria Carrillo. She said it is especially important because the risk of Alzheimer’s — the most common form of dementia — is higher for lower-income populations who may have a harder time avoiding unhealthy air.
8. What can we know about PM2.5 particles from the text?
A. PM2.5 particles are as small as a human hair.
B. PM2.5 particles only exist in wildfire smokes.
C. PM2.5 particles can enter the blood through lungs.
D. PM2.5 particles can result in various kinds of diseases.
9. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The research process. B. The research purpose.
C. The research findings. D. The research subjects.
10. What will the researchers probably focus on?
A. The impact of PM2.5 on Alzheimer’s disease.
B. The link between PM2.5 exposure and dementia risk.
C. The reduction of PM2.5 emissions from traffic and factories.
D. The development of new air quality monitoring technologies.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Wildfires Are Getting More Frequent B. Dementia Cases Rise Among Elderly
C. PM2.5 Affects Hearts More Than Brains D. Wildfire Smoke May Increase Dementia Risk
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D

【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“They examined health records of 1.2 million older adults in Southern California between 2009 and 2019. The scientists used air quality monitoring and other data to estimate how much PM2.5 was released from wildfire smoke or other ways over three years.(他们检查了2009年至2019年南加州120万老年人的健康记录。科学家们利用空气质量监测和其他数据来估计三年来野火烟雾或其他方式释放的PM2.5量。)”可知,第四段主要讲的是研究的过程,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The study found the risk of being diagnosed with dementia increased about 21 percent for every 1 microgram increase in the concentration of wildfire particles. That compared with a 3 percent increased risk for every 3 microgram increase in non-wildfire particles.(研究发现,野火颗粒浓度每增加1微克,被诊断患有痴呆症的风险就会增加约21%。相比之下,非野火颗粒每增加3微克,风险就增加3%。)”和最后一段“But with wildfires increasing, this issue needs more study, said Alzheimer’s Association chief science officer Maria Carrillo. She said it is especially important because the risk of Alzheimer’s—the most common form of dementia— is higher for lower-income populations who may have a harder time avoiding unhealthy air.(但阿尔茨海默病协会首席科学官玛丽亚·卡里略说,随着野火的增加,这个问题需要更多的研究。她说,这一点尤其重要,因为患阿尔茨海默病(最常见的痴呆症)的风险对低收入人群来说更高,他们可能更难避开不健康的空气。)”可知,研究人员可能会关注接触PM2.5与痴呆风险之间的联系。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“A new study suggests that particles (颗粒) found in wildfire smoke could increase the risk of getting dementia (痴呆症).(一项新的研究表明,在野火烟雾中发现的颗粒可能会增加患痴呆症的风险。)”可知,本文主要讲的是一项新的研究发现,野火烟雾中的颗粒(特别是PM2.5)可能会增加人们患痴呆症的风险;因此D选项“Wildfire Smoke May Increase Dementia Risk(野火烟雾可能增加患痴呆症的风险)”能够概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选D。

About 200 freshwater dolphins were found dead in Lake Tefé of the Amazon River in Brazil during a period of severe dry weather last year. That is why a team of biologists, animal doctors, and fishermen temporarily captured some river dolphins recently to study their health. The researchers hope the findings will help protect the dolphins from another weather disaster.
One of the captured dolphins was a female with her offspring (幼崽) nearby. Fishermen were careful not to injure her and kept her close to her offspring to avoid stressing the animals. “She relaxed and we could do all the tests. She appeared in good health.” said project leader Miriam Marmontel, a researcher at the Mamiraua Institute of Sustainable Development based in Tefé, Brazil. The organization planned the temporary capture of up to 20 dolphins.
The team took blood from the animals and performed other medical tests. The work included removing a small amount of fat to see if harmful chemicals were in the dolphin’s body. They also put microchips in the animals to follow their movements.
The Solimoes River feeds water into Lake Tefé. Unusually dry weather last year caused water levels in the river to drop. As a result, the water became warmer than usual. Thousands of fish also died in the Amazon rivers because of a lack of oxygen in the water.
Many Amazon river dolphins are the color pink. They are found only in the rivers of South America, and they are among only a few kinds of freshwater dolphins still living in the world. Because they reproduce slowly, threats to their environment can more easily reduce their populations.
Marmontel said researchers hope to better understand what caused last year’s deaths, so that experts and officials can react faster to the effects of this year’s dry weather.
“We aim to learn more about the health of the dolphins at a time when water begins to go down and temperatures start to rise, so we can identify the changes and know whether they are due to higher temperatures or a pollutant in the water,” she told Reuters.
12. What does the underlined word “captured” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Caught. B. Chose. C. Cloned. D. Combined.
13. How did the researchers study the river dolphins’ health?
A. By interviewing local fishermen. B. By conducting tests on some dolphins.
C. By observing their behavior in the wild. D. By analyzing the water quality of the lake.
14. What is the purpose of writing paragraph 5?
A. To discuss the consequences of climate change.
B. To advocate for immediate conservation actions.
C. To add some backgrounds of the Amazon river dolphins.
D. To stress the importance of protecting Amazon river animals.
15. What can we learn from Marmontel’s words?
A. Researchers have already identified the cause of last year’s deaths.
B. Researchers are focusing on the effects of higher temperatures on the dolphins.
C. Researchers are trying to associate dolphin health with environmental changes.
D. Researchers are predicting a similar disaster this year based on weather patterns.

Emma was a lively girl, always full of energy and curiosity. Among her hobbies, flying kites was her favorite. It was more than just a fun activity—it was a special time she shared with her grandfather, who had always been a central figure in her life.
On her sixteenth birthday, Emma’s grandfather gave her a gift that she would always treasure: a bright red kite with a long, colorful tail. The moment Emma saw it, she was filled with joy. This kite was special not only because it was beautiful, but because it came from her grandfather, with whom she had spent many wonderful afternoons in the park, flying kites and making happy memories.
One sunny afternoon, Emma decided to fly the kite by herself. The sky was clear, with a gentle breeze (微风) -perfect for flying. As the kite soared higher and higher into the sky, Emma felt a sense of freedom and excitement. The kite danced gracefully in the wind, and she couldn’t help but smile as she guided it.
However, just as Emma was lost in the joy of the moment, a strong wind suddenly caught the kite and pulled it out of her hands. Emma watched in shock as the kite was swept away, flying farther and farther into the distance. She ran after it, but it was too late. The kite was gone. Emma felt a deep sense of loss, not just because she had lost the kite, but because it represented the special bond she had with her grandfather.
In the days that followed, Emma couldn’t shake the sadness that hung over her. The park, which had always been a place of joy and laughter, now seemed quiet and empty. Each time she visited, she was reminded of the red kite and the precious moments she had shared with her grandfather.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
One sunny day, Emma’s grandfather invited her to take a walk in the park. He noticed her sadness and wanted to cheer her up. As they strolled on the familiar path, he listened patiently as Emma shared her feelings about the lost kite. After listening and offering comforting words, he surprised her by pulling out a new kite from his bag. It was not red this time, but blue, like the sky above. Emma was touched by his thoughtfulness and realized that the memories they shared were what truly mattered, not the physical object.
Emma quickly took the new kite and started to fly it. As the kite rose higher, she felt a renewed sense of joy and connection. She laughed as the kite danced in the wind, feeling her grandfather’s presence beside her. The park once again filled with laughter and happiness as her grandfather taught her new tricks and techniques, deepening their bond. Emma learned that while things might be lost, the love and memories shared with her grandfather were never truly gone.
