Once a father and son went to the kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He asked his father to get him a kite and a thread(线)with a roller so he could fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son.
His son started to fly a kite. Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, if we break it, it will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?” So, the father cut the thread from the roller. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy. But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And, soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose from its thread so it could fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked his father, “Father, I thought that after cutting off the thread, the kite could freely fly higher. But why did it fall down?”
The father explained, “Son, at the height of life that we live in, we often think that some things we are tied with are preventing us from going further higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction(方向)through the thread.

As the sun sets and the city is enveloped in the peaceful cover of night, a new trend (趋势) is rising quietly across China: the 24-hour library. In addition to staying open 24 hours a day, and featuring a wide variety of books, these libraries are equipped with comprehensive study facilities, including water, electricity, power outlets and restrooms. Some even offer soft drink services and dining options.
For Ye, a 25-year-old from Weihai, East China’s Shandong Province, the local 24-hour library is an invaluable resource as she is preparing for the civil service exam. Hired full-time, she finds that traditional library hours do not meet her study needs. “The traditional local libraries usually open at 9 a. m. and close at 10 p. m., which isn’t convenient for working people like me. I can only devote myself to studying early in the morning or late at night,” Ye said.
Similarly, Ma, a 20-year-old sophomore from East China’s Anhui Province, often visits a 24-hour library in Huai’an. During long holidays such as the summer and winter vacations, she goes there almost every day, staying for up to nine hours each time to study subjects like computer science, English, and law, according to Ma. “This library is very quiet as many people are studying. It motivates me,” Ma noted, although she admitted that occasional noise can be a distraction.
A social media user surnamed Luo often visits a 24-hour library in Beijing’s Xicheng district. “The place is packed with more people reading than working, and others preparing for exams. The atmosphere is quite peaceful,” Luo told the Global Times. “There’s a noticeable increase in visitors at night, including seniors with children and professionals, but most go there to read. It feels quite relaxing. Now, besides cafes, there’s another place for me to go after work in the evening ,” Luo added.
According to a national reading survey, in April, the average Chinese adult read 4.75 physical books and 3.40 e-books in 2023. As of the end of 2023, China boasted 3,246 public libraries with a total collection of 1.44 billion books, marking a 5.6 percent increase from 2022.
8. What do we know about the 24-hour library?
A. It shows the growing love for reading among Chinese citizens.
B. Readers can borrow and return books using the self-service machine.
C. Reading has become an important part of promoting public education.
D. We can invite authors where they share their thoughts and experiences with us.
9. What is the main reason Ye chooses to study at the 24-hour library?
A. Because it provides a wide range of information resources.
B. Because it offers various choices and convenience.
C. Because she enjoys the public study atmosphere.
D. Because she longs for the public cultural spaces.
10. How many physical books did the average Chinese adult read in 2023?
A. 4.75. B. 3.40. C. 5.60. D. 1.44.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. 24-hour libraries gain popularity across China.
B. The libraries are not just a leisure, but a way of life.
C. Readers go after a spiritual and cultural life.
D. There’s a noticeable increase in visitors to libraries.
D
Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP 地球物种计划), a non-profit that uses a form of artificial intelligence(AI)to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to translate and make this important information widely available to the public.
Raskin underlined their goal to help protection by explaining, “The end we are working towards is that we can decode(解密)animal communication, discover the non-human language. Along the way and equally important is that we are developing technology that supports biologists and protection now.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to more efficiently protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depends on boring and lengthy observation. From primate calls of alarms to dolphin whistles, scientists have been crazy about the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand the huge amounts of data available through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt analyzing algorithm that helps scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative emotions (情绪). However, ESP is dealing with decoding differently, by focusing on all species, not just one. The Earth Species Project believes that there is a possibility that social species communicate with each other, for example, whales and dolphins.
Although the Earth Species Project believe that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication, they are hopeful that one day we will be able to understand the whole systems of communication.
12. What is the final goal of ESP's work?
A. Translating animal languages. B. Helping protect animals better.
C. Making more money for study. D. Applying AI to communication.
13. How does ESP help researchers understand non-human communication?
A. It uses machine learning to provide information.
B. It calls for researchers to live with social animals.
C. It depends on large numbers of views on animals.
D. It compares the past researches with present ones.
14. What is the attitude of ESP towards fully understanding animal languages?
A. Unclear. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Scientists are interested in animal communication
B. How social animals communicate with each other.
C. Researchers call on people timely to protect animals.
D. AI technology may help understand animal languages.

Once a father and son went to the kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He asked his father to get him a kite and a thread(线)with a roller so he could fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son.
His son started to fly a kite. Soon, his kite reached high up in the sky. After a while, the son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, if we break it, it will be free and will go flying even higher. Can we break it?” So, the father cut the thread from the roller. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very happy. But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And, soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building. The young son was surprised to see this. He had cut the kite loose from its thread so it could fly higher, but instead, it fell down. He asked his father, “Father, I thought that after cutting off the thread, the kite could freely fly higher. But why did it fall down?”
The father explained, “Son, at the height of life that we live in, we often think that some things we are tied with are preventing us from going further higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction(方向)through the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread.”
The son realized his mistake.

【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held.(于是,父亲去了正在举行节日的公园里的商店)”可知,父亲去商店给儿子买了风筝和一卷线。所以划线词的意思是“购买”。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“So, the father cut the thread from the roller.(于是,父亲剪断了线)”可知,父亲什么也没说,满足了儿子的期望。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction(方向)through the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread. (这条线并没有阻止风筝飞得更高,而是在风慢下来的时候帮助风筝保持在更高的地方,当风加快的时候,你通过这条线帮助风筝在一个合适的方向上飞得更高。当我们切断线的时候,它掉下来了,没有你通过线给风筝提供的支撑)”可知,从父亲的解释中可知,线在风筝飞行中的作用是提供适当的支持,确保风筝在风的变化下能够稳定飞得更高。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The father explained, “Son, at the height of life that we live in, we often think that some things we are tied with are preventing us from going further higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind picked up, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction(方向)through the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread.(父亲解释说:“儿子,当我们生活在人生的高峰时,我们常常认为一些束缚我们的事情阻碍了我们走得更远。这条线并没有阻止风筝飞得更高,而是在风慢下来的时候帮助风筝保持在更高的地方,当风加快的时候,你通过这条线帮助风筝在一个合适的方向上飞得更高。当我们切断线的时候,它掉下来了,没有你通过线给风筝提供的支撑)”可知,作者通过风筝的故事引出人生哲理,生活中我们常误以为某些羁绊限制了我们的高度,但正是这些羁绊支持并引导我们走得更稳。所以短文的目的是告诉我们一个生活道理。故选C项。
C
As the sun sets and the city is enveloped in the peaceful cover of night, a new trend (趋势) is rising quietly across China: the 24-hour library. In addition to staying open 24 hours a day, and featuring a wide variety of books, these libraries are equipped with comprehensive study facilities, including water, electricity, power outlets and restrooms. Some even offer soft drink services and dining options.
For Ye, a 25-year-old from Weihai, East China’s Shandong Province, the local 24-hour library is an invaluable resource as she is preparing for the civil service exam. Hired full-time, she finds that traditional library hours do not meet her study needs. “The traditional local libraries usually open at 9 a. m. and close at 10 p. m., which isn’t convenient for working people like me. I can only devote myself to studying early in the morning or late at night,” Ye said.
Similarly, Ma, a 20-year-old sophomore from East China’s Anhui Province, often visits a 24-hour library in Huai’an. During long holidays such as the summer and winter vacations, she goes there almost every day, staying for up to nine hours each time to study subjects like computer science, English, and law, according to Ma. “This library is very quiet as many people are studying. It motivates me,” Ma noted, although she admitted that occasional noise can be a distraction.
A social media user surnamed Luo often visits a 24-hour library in Beijing’s Xicheng district. “The place is packed with more people reading than working, and others preparing for exams. The atmosphere is quite peaceful,” Luo told the Global Times. “There’s a noticeable increase in visitors at night, including seniors with children and professionals, but most go there to read. It feels quite relaxing. Now, besides cafes, there’s another place for me to go after work in the evening ,” Luo added.
According to a national reading survey, in April, the average Chinese adult read 4.75 physical books and 3.40 e-books in 2023. As of the end of 2023, China boasted 3,246 public libraries with a total collection of 1.44 billion books, marking a 5.6 percent increase from 2022.
8. What do we know about the 24-hour library?
A. It shows the growing love for reading among Chinese citizens.
B. Readers can borrow and return books using the self-service machine.
C. Reading has become an important part of promoting public education.
D. We can invite authors where they share their thoughts and experiences with us.
9. What is the main reason Ye chooses to study at the 24-hour library?
A. Because it provides a wide range of information resources.
B. Because it offers various choices and convenience.
C. Because she enjoys the public study atmosphere.
D. Because she longs for the public cultural spaces.
10. How many physical books did the average Chinese adult read in 2023?
A. 4.75. B. 3.40. C. 5.60. D. 1.44.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. 24-hour libraries gain popularity across China.
B. The libraries are not just a leisure, but a way of life.
C. Readers go after a spiritual and cultural life.
D. There’s a noticeable increase in visitors to libraries.

Aza Raskin is the co-founder and president of the Earth Species Project (ESP 地球物种计划), a non-profit that uses a form of artificial intelligence(AI)to translate non-human languages. ESP wants to use its machine learning technology to translate and make this important information widely available to the public.
Raskin underlined their goal to help protection by explaining, “The end we are working towards is that we can decode(解密)animal communication, discover the non-human language. Along the way and equally important is that we are developing technology that supports biologists and protection now.” ESP believes that understanding languages can help deepen our relationship with animals and allow us to more efficiently protect them.
In the past, understanding the communication of animals heavily depends on boring and lengthy observation. From primate calls of alarms to dolphin whistles, scientists have been crazy about the different forms of non-human communication present in these animals. With the development of new technologies, researchers have now begun to understand the huge amounts of data available through machine learning.
Elodie Briefer, an associate professor at the University of Copenhagen, has recently helped co-develop a pig grunt analyzing algorithm that helps scientists understand whether the pigs are expressing positive or negative emotions (情绪). However, ESP is dealing with decoding differently, by focusing on all species, not just one. The Earth Species Project believes that there is a possibility that social species communicate with each other, for example, whales and dolphins.
Although the Earth Species Project believe that understanding AI machine learning data is only one step to full communication, they are hopeful that one day we will be able to understand the whole systems of communication.
12. What is the final goal of ESP's work?
A. Translating animal languages. B. Helping protect animals better.
C. Making more money for study. D. Applying AI to communication.
13. How does ESP help researchers understand non-human communication?
A. It uses machine learning to provide information.
B. It calls for researchers to live with social animals.
C. It depends on large numbers of views on animals.
D. It compares the past researches with present ones.
14. What is the attitude of ESP towards fully understanding animal languages?
A. Unclear. B. Confident. C. Doubtful. D. Curious.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. Scientists are interested in animal communication
B. How social animals communicate with each other.
C. Researchers call on people timely to protect animals.
D. AI technology may help understand animal languages.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D

【答案】
Making Friends Online
With science and technology developing rapidly, a growing number of people have been making friends online.
Admittedly, the Internet makes it convenient for us to befriend people around the world, which has also broadened our horizons. Besides, with the aid of the Internet, we can keep in close touch with whoever we want to remain friends with, wherever they are.
But as the saying goes, every coin has two sides. There exist some drawbacks as well in terms of online friendship. People often say that on the Internet nobody knows whether you are a dog or not. So the friends we have made online may not be just what we think they are. Then, it is most likely that we’ll get cheated by the so-called friends.
Everything taken into consideration, we are supposed to have a reasonable attitude towards making friends online and think carefully before throwing yourself into it.
