People have created fun sayings and expressions about these seasons over the years. Let’s get to know some of them! Spring: A Fresh Start Spring is all about new beginnings, so people often say, “April showers bring May flowers.” This means the rain in April helps flowers bloom in May. It’s a way of telling us that good things often come after a little bit of trouble. Summer: Fun in the Sun Summer is warm, sunny, and full of life. A popular saying is “Make ha y while the sun shines.” This means to make good use of a good situation (形势) while it lasts. Farmers used to say this because they could only dry hay (草料) on sunny days. Autumn: A Time for Change When leaves turn red, orange, and yellow, people often say, “The autumn of one’s life”. This phrase describes the later years of a person’s life, as autumn is later in the year. Winter: Comfortable and Cold Winter can be hard, but people make the best of it. You might hear someone say, “Snowed under”, which means being very busy, like when snow piles up all around you. Seasonal sayings are like little bits of wisdom (智慧) in fun words. So next time you hear one, smile and think about how it connects to the world around you! 46. In which part of a website can we find this article? A. History. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Nature. 47.

They can check how healthy your heart is and count your steps. Now, a new watch can even check the electrolytes (电解质) in your sweat (汗). Electrolytes are important in our body, and now smartwatches can help us check them. We get electrolytes from our diet and they help us stay fit. If we don’t have enough electrolytes, we might feel tired, weak, or even have heart problems. When we sweat, we lose both water and electrolytes, especially during exercise or hot weather. This is why keeping the right balance (平衡) of electrolytes is so important. With the help of a smartwatch that can check our electrolyte levels, we can better understand when our body needs more. By doing this, smartwatches can become a useful tool for staying healthy. The new smartwatch collects sweat from the skin and checks it all the time. It has some special chips (芯片). They can check electrolyte levels in the user’s sweat. The team of Chinese scientists behind this watch tested it for six months. Its results were correct about 95 percent of the time. The watch can tell the users if their electrolyte levels are too low. This helps prevent hurt during exercise. It gives users a chance to drink water or electrolyte drinks in time. This way, it is less likely that they will feel tired or get sick. But there is still one problem with the watch. It is bigger and heavier than other fitness watches. This makes it less comfortable to wear. In the future, the scientists will try to make the watch smaller. They also hope to make new chips to check more things, like blood sugar (血糖). This will make the watch more useful for people with different health needs. As a result, it will make it easier for people to stay healthy and active. 49. Where can we get electrolytes from? A. We get them from sweat. B. We get them from meals. C. We get them from blood. D. We get them from exercise. 50. How does the new smartwatch check electrolytes? A. By counting the user’s steps. B. By collecting and checking the sweat. C. By adding special chips to the body. D. By checking how healthy the user’s heart is. 51. What are the scientists planning to do in the future? A. Make the watch much brighter. B. Make the watch more expensive. C. Make the watch only for the young. D. Make the watch smaller and more helpful. 52. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①②/③/④⑤ D. ①/②③④/⑤ 【答案】49. B 50. B 51. D 52.

I’m Wisdom, the world’s oldest wild bird. Though I am 74 years old, I’m still laying (下蛋) eggs! On November 26, 2024, I returned to my favorite home on Midway Atoll and laid one more egg. Not bad for an old bird, huh? Midway Atoll is an island in the big Pacific Ocean. Every year, about 1.3 million of Laysan albatrosses (黑背信天翁) like me come together here. We spend most of our lives flying over the ocean, but we always come back here to raise our baby birds. Back in 1956, scientists put a little band on my leg with the number Z333 to study me more easily. They guessed I was 5 years old at the time, the youngest age we can lay eggs. They follow me all the time. Most Laysan albatrosses live 12 to 40 years, so I am like a bird superstar. My leg band was changed six times because I lived longer than people thought I would! Albatrosses usually choose one partner (伴侣) for life, but I lived longer than many of my partners. For years, I stayed with Akeakamai, but he went away some time ago. In 2024, I found a new partner, and on November 26, we laid an egg together. My partner and I are taking turns sitting on the egg, keeping it warm. If it breaks open and a baby bird comes out in February, we will spend about seven months feeding and protecting the baby bird until it is ready to fly. It is a lot of work, but I did it many times before—scientists say I laid 50 to 60 eggs in my lifetime, and I had 30 to 36 baby birds. My last baby bird was born in 2021 when I was 70. Oh, and fun fact: in 2017, scientists saw one of my grown children building a home nearby. I may be a mom, grandma, and even great—grandma by now. At 74, I am still flying strong, raising baby birds, and showing to everyone that age is just a number. Let’s see if this egg can work well—I might have a new baby bird to add to my bird family! 53. Who is introducing this article to us? A. A scientist studying birds. B. Wisdom, the bird itself. C. A writer visiting Midway Atoll. D. A photographer taking bird pictures. 54. What is the correct order of these events in the story? ①Wisdom found a new partner. ②Wisdom’s last baby bird was born. ③Scientists put a band on Wisdom’s leg. ④Scientists saw Wisdom’s grown child building a home nearby. A. ③④②① B. ③④①② C. ④③②① D. ④③①② 55. What can we know about Wisdom? A. Wisdom only lays one egg every year. B. Wisdom never returns to the same home. C. Wisdom’s leg band is very new and shiny. D. Wisdom has more than one partner for life. 56. What is the best title for this article? A. Life on Midway Atoll B. My Bird Family C. All about Me: The Oldest Wild Bird D. How Birds Lay Eggs 【答案】53. B 54. A 55. D 56.

This is a big step in making sure these traditions don’t disappear. Li textile techniques are special. They have beautiful shapes. These shapes show the art, the long history and traditions of the Li people in China. ____63____ It is a time for family and community meetings, but fewer people celebrate it now, so it needs protection. People build Chinese wooden bridges with old tools and traditional skills. They are strong and beautiful. But they are hard to protect as modern cities grow fast and people sometimes forget old ways. Experts say it is very important to protect intangible cultural heritage (ICH). Traditions like Li textile techniques and the Qiang New Year festival are not just old ways. ____64____ Without these traditions, we might lose an important part of who we are. China is working hard to protect these traditions. ____65____ Cultural heritage belongs to all of us around the world—not just for today, but also for our sons and grandsons. One expert said that protecting these traditions keeps them going. They bring people together and make us think of the beauty of our cultures. A. More importantly, they are a part of daily life for people and teach us about history, art, and the values of different cultures. B.

People have created fun sayings and expressions about these seasons over the years. Let’s get to know some of them! Spring: A Fresh Start Spring is all about new beginnings, so people often say, “April showers bring May flowers.” This means the rain in April helps flowers bloom in May. It’s a way of telling us that good things often come after a little bit of trouble. Summer: Fun in the Sun Summer is warm, sunny, and full of life. A popular saying is “Make ha y while the sun shines.” This means to make good use of a good situation (形势) while it lasts. Farmers used to say this because they could only dry hay (草料) on sunny days. Autumn: A Time for Change When leaves turn red, orange, and yellow, people often say, “The autumn of one’s life”. This phrase describes the later years of a person’s life, as autumn is later in the year. Winter: Comfortable and Cold Winter can be hard, but people make the best of it. You might hear someone say, “Snowed under”, which means being very busy, like when snow piles up all around you. Seasonal sayings are like little bits of wisdom (智慧) in fun words. So next time you hear one, smile and think about how it connects to the world around you! 46. In which part of a website can we find this article? A. History. B. Health. C. Technology. D. Nature. 47. What can you learn from “Make hay while the sun shines.”? A. It is about working only in summer. B. It teaches us to work when having a chance. C. It tells us to rest during sunny days. D. It tells people to dry some grass in spring. 48. What is the main idea of the article? A. People should enjoy all the seasons. B. Different seasons have their own weather. C. Seasonal sayings help us understand life and nature. D. Spring and summer are better than autumn and winter. B Many smartwatches today are great for your health. They can check how healthy your heart is and count your steps. Now, a new watch can even check the electrolytes (电解质) in your sweat (汗). Electrolytes are important in our body, and now smartwatches can help us check them. We get electrolytes from our diet and they help us stay fit. If we don’t have enough electrolytes, we might feel tired, weak, or even have heart problems. When we sweat, we lose both water and electrolytes, especially during exercise or hot weather. This is why keeping the right balance (平衡) of electrolytes is so important. With the help of a smartwatch that can check our electrolyte levels, we can better understand when our body needs more. By doing this, smartwatches can become a useful tool for staying healthy. The new smartwatch collects sweat from the skin and checks it all the time. It has some special chips (芯片). They can check electrolyte levels in the user’s sweat. The team of Chinese scientists behind this watch tested it for six months. Its results were correct about 95 percent of the time. The watch can tell the users if their electrolyte levels are too low. This helps prevent hurt during exercise. It gives users a chance to drink water or electrolyte drinks in time. This way, it is less likely that they will feel tired or get sick. But there is still one problem with the watch. It is bigger and heavier than other fitness watches. This makes it less comfortable to wear. In the future, the scientists will try to make the watch smaller. They also hope to make new chips to check more things, like blood sugar (血糖). This will make the watch more useful for people with different health needs. As a result, it will make it easier for people to stay healthy and active. 49. Where can we get electrolytes from? A. We get them from sweat. B. We get them from meals. C We get them from blood. D. We get them from exercise. 50 How does the new smartwatch check electrolytes? A. By counting the user’s steps. B. By collecting and checking the sweat. C. By adding special chips to the body. D. By checking how healthy the user’s heart is. 51. What are the scientists planning to do in the future? A. Make the watch much brighter. B. Make the watch more expensive. C. Make the watch only for the young. D. Make the watch smaller and more helpful. 52. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. ①②/③④/⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①②/③/④⑤ D. ①/②③④/⑤ C Hi! I’m Wisdom, the world’s oldest wild bird. Though I am 74 years old, I’m still laying (下蛋) eggs! On November 26, 2024, I returned to my favorite home on Midway Atoll and laid one more egg. Not bad for an old bird, huh? Midway Atoll is an island in the big Pacific Ocean. Every year, about 1.3 million of Laysan albatrosses (黑背信天翁) like me come together here. We spend most of our lives flying over the ocean, but we always come back here to raise our baby birds. Back in 1956, scientists put a little band on my leg with the number Z333 to study me more easily. They guessed I was 5 years old at the time, the youngest age we can lay eggs. They follow me all the time. Most Laysan albatrosses live 12 to 40 years, so I am like a bird superstar. My leg band was changed six times because I lived longer than people thought I would! Albatrosses usually choose one partner (伴侣) for life, but I lived longer than many of my partners. For years, I stayed with Akeakamai, but he went away some time ago. In 2024, I found a new partner, and on November 26, we laid an egg together. My partner and I are taking turns sitting on the egg, keeping it warm. If it breaks open and a baby bird comes out in February, we will spend about seven months feeding and protecting the baby bird until it is ready to fly. It is a lot of work, but I did it many times before—scientists say I laid 50 to 60 eggs in my lifetime, and I had 30 to 36 baby birds. My last baby bird was born in 2021 when I was 70. Oh, and fun fact: in 2017, scientists saw one of my grown children building a home nearby. I may be a mom, grandma, and even great—grandma by now. At 74, I am still flying strong, raising baby birds, and showing to everyone that age is just a number. Let’s see if this egg can work well—I might have a new baby bird to add to my bird family! 53.
