Across many cities in China, schools have made a change to their class breaks starting from the fall semester. Instead of the traditional 10-minute breaks, students now enjoy 15-minute breaks. This is to encourage both students and teachers to spend more time outdoors.
In the past, the short breaks were not enough for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools even restricted students from leaving classrooms during breaks for safety reasons. But now, things are different.
Cities like Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao in Shandong province have already added the longer breaks to their schedules. In Beijing, the extra break time didn’t change the students’ overall day much. Primary schools still start and end at the same times, but middle schools now end five minutes later.
Schools in Xinwu district of Wuxi, Jiangsu province, have gone a step further. They have 15-minute breaks and require students to have at least 100 minutes of physical exercise on campus each day. They also made sure classes don’t start too early and students can do what they want during breaks.
A primary school in Qingdao even introduced outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop exercises during the breaks. They organize students by floor so everyone gets a chance to play outside. And it seems to be working-in May, 10% more students in Qingdao got “excellent” or “good” fitness ratings (评级).
26. What is the purpose of extending class breaks to 15 minutes in Chinese schools?
A. To increase the overall school day. B. To encourage more indoor activities.
C. To promote outdoor time for students and teachers. D. To make sure classes not start too early.
27. What does the underlined word “restricted” in the second paragraph mean?
A. Allowed. B. Limited. C. Encouraged. D. Ordered.
28. The change in class break time in Beijing middle schools shows that ________.
A. the school timetable has become more changeable
B. schools paid more attention to students’ lifestyle
C. teachers will have more rest time
D. teachers will slow down the teaching pace
29. Which of the following statements is true about the changes in class breaks?
A. All schools in China now have 15-minute breaks.
B. Middle schools in Beijing end 10 minutes later because of the longer breaks.
C. Xinwu district require students to have at least 120 minutes of physical exercise daily.
D. A primary school in Qingdao introduced outdoor games during the breaks.
30. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Benefits of Outdoor Exercise B. Changes in School Schedules Across China
C. Longer Breaks for Better Health D. The Importance of Physical Education
Even though the world has made great efforts to protect African elephants, many of them are still being killed for their ivory. At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 ivory million elephants walked around Africa. But today, their numbers have fallen to around 450, 000. This is mainly caused by illegal (非法的) hunting for ivory. Need for ivory in markets, especially in Asia and Africa, continues to push the illegal trade (贸易). This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20, 000 African elephants each year.
Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been regarded as precious. Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery, musical instruments and art. And the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. That’s why many people are willing to pay high prices for ivory products.
However, no matter how much real ivory is sold for, it’s certainly not worth the harm to elephants. So some scientists are working hard on creating the same beauty of ivory with no killing.
Thaddäa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the man-made ivory called “Digory”. It is made from synthetic resin (合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles (磷酸钙颗粒). First, they use a 3D printer to make the shape. Then they color-match and stain (着色) it. Finally, they polish (抛光) it to make it look like real natural ivory. Although the chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye.
Fritz Vollrath, a biologist from the UK, felt excited about the invention for the fact that Digory could save many elephants from risks. He said, “We hope that, by doing more research, Digory will soon be accepted and used worldwide. And I believe that technology like this will play an important role in wildlife protection.”
31. Why does the writer list some numbers in Paragraph 1?
A. To present the number of elephants in Africa.
B. To introduce the ivory markets in Asia and Africa.
C. To explain the reasons for the illegal trade of ivory.
D. To show the dangerous situation of African elephants.
32. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Modern. B. Valuable. C. Beautiful. D. Traditional.
33. What do we know about Digory from Paragraph 4?
a Why Digory is invented. b. How Digory is created.
c. What Digory is made from. d. Whether Digory looks real.
A. abc B. acd C. bcd D. abd
34. Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree?
A. Digory will save all the elephants from risks.
B. It’s hard for the world to accept man-made ivory.
C. It will take long to make Digory used worldwide.
D Technology will support the protection of wildlife.
35. Which is the right structure of the text? (①= Para. 1 ②= Para. 2…)
A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①②③④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④⑤
A quasar (类星体) is an extremely bright object with a super-massive (超大质量的) black hole. About a million quasars have been known to humans. Quasar J0529-4351 is one of them, with 12 billion light years from the earth.
We have been able to see Quasar J0529-4351 since 1980. But it was so bright that people mistook it for a foreground star (前景恒星). In 2023, scientists finally identified (确认) it as a quasar as well as the brightest object in the universe, 500 trillion (万亿) times brighter than the sun. In 2024, a study on the quasar came out in Nature Astronomy. It was done by Australian scientist Christian Wolf and his team.
According to the recent study, Quasar J0529-4351 has a huge “stomach”. Like other quasars, it keeps taking in gas and dust in the space. In fact, it has the largest accretion disk (吸积盘) in the universe. It “eats” about as much as the sun’s mass (质量) every day, which makes it grow very fast. And we shouldn’t be surprised at how bright it is, because the brightness has much to do with how much it “eats”.
However, Quasar J0529-4351 is not the largest object. TON 618, found in 1957, is one of the largest black holes. It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun inside, while Quasar J0529-4351 is about 19 billion times larger than the sun.
Scientist have already learned that a black hole is formed when a star collapses (坍塌) on itself. And it grows by taking in other objects, including other black holes. But they still don’t know how super-massive black holes come into being. Scientists hope that studying quasars like this one will help them understand more about super-massive black holes. They also believe that there are probably more unusual quasars out there, waiting to be discovered.
36. How long have we been able to see Quasar J0529-4351?
A. More than 40 years. B. In 1980. C. For just 40 years. D. Less than 40 years.
37. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Quasar J0529-4351. B. The foreground star. C. The study. D. Nature Astronomy.
38. Which of the following is TRUE about Quasar J0529-4351?
A. It is 12 billion light years from the sun.
B. It is 500 trillion times brighter than the sun.
C It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun.
D. It is about 19 billion times larger than TON 618.
39. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. When a star collapses. B. How a black hole grows.
C. Why scientists study quasars. D. What will be discovered next.
40. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. A Newly Seen Quasar B. Secrets of the Universe
C. Super-massive Black Holes D. Brightest Quasar Ever Seen

Dragons are imaginary animals. That means they aren’t real. They’re important in many cultures around the world, but different cultures see dragons differently.
Dragons in the stories are usually regarded as awful animals in Europe, North America and South America. In western fairy tales, dragons have huge wings. They can breathe fire, which makes them scary. However there are some stories about good dragons in western culture.
Dragons also have a very long history in Australia and Oceania. Some of the stories there are more than 5, 000 years old. There are many different kinds of dragons, but the most famous is the bunyip (澳洲水兽). The bunyip is made from parts of different animals. It lives in the water and eats animals.
In Asia, however, dragons are beautiful animals. More than 4, 000 years ago, some stories about Asian dragons became known. In most stories, they don’t have wings. They look like huge lizards, but they aren’t scary. They help people. And they can bring people good luck.
One example of the Asian dragons is the Chinese Loong or Long. Very different from Western ideas about dragons, Chinese dragons are a symbol of good luck, success and power. They are also a symbol of the Chinese nation, so Chinese people consider themselves as descendants (后代) of the dragon.
56. Where are dragons usually regarded as awful animals in the stories?
____________________
57. What do dragons in western fairy tales look like?
____________________
58. What does bunyip feed on?
____________________
59. Are dragons scary or beautiful animals in Asian stories?

Across many cities in China, schools have made a change to their class breaks starting from the fall semester. Instead of the traditional 10-minute breaks, students now enjoy 15-minute breaks. This is to encourage both students and teachers to spend more time outdoors.
In the past, the short breaks were not enough for students, especially those in tall buildings, to go outside and play. Sometimes, schools even restricted students from leaving classrooms during breaks for safety reasons. But now, things are different.
Cities like Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao in Shandong province have already added the longer breaks to their schedules. In Beijing, the extra break time didn’t change the students’ overall day much. Primary schools still start and end at the same times, but middle schools now end five minutes later.
Schools in Xinwu district of Wuxi, Jiangsu province, have gone a step further. They have 15-minute breaks and require students to have at least 100 minutes of physical exercise on campus each day. They also made sure classes don’t start too early and students can do what they want during breaks.
A primary school in Qingdao even introduced outdoor games like jump rope and hula hoop exercises during the breaks. They organize students by floor so everyone gets a chance to play outside. And it seems to be working-in May, 10% more students in Qingdao got “excellent” or “good” fitness ratings (评级).

Even though the world has made great efforts to protect African elephants, many of them are still being killed for their ivory. At the end of the 1970s, over 1.3 ivory million elephants walked around Africa. But today, their numbers have fallen to around 450, 000. This is mainly caused by illegal (非法的) hunting for ivory. Need for ivory in markets, especially in Asia and Africa, continues to push the illegal trade (贸易). This has resulted in the deaths of at least 20, 000 African elephants each year.
Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been regarded as precious. Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery, musical instruments and art. And the ivory material itself can stand the test of time. That’s why many people are willing to pay high prices for ivory products.
However, no matter how much real ivory is sold for, it’s certainly not worth the harm to elephants. So some scientists are working hard on creating the same beauty of ivory with no killing.
Thaddäa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the man-made ivory called “Digory”. It is made from synthetic resin (合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles (磷酸钙颗粒). First, they use a 3D printer to make the shape. Then they color-match and stain (着色) it. Finally, they polish (抛光) it to make it look like real natural ivory. Although the chemical structure of Digory is completely different from that of the natural ivory, it looks so real that it is hard to tell the difference by eye.
Fritz Vollrath, a biologist from the UK, felt excited about the invention for the fact that Digory could save many elephants from risks. He said, “We hope that, by doing more research, Digory will soon be accepted and used worldwide. And I believe that technology like this will play an important role in wildlife protection.”
31. Why does the writer list some numbers in Paragraph 1?
A. To present the number of elephants in Africa.
B. To introduce the ivory markets in Asia and Africa.
C. To explain the reasons for the illegal trade of ivory.
D. To show the dangerous situation of African elephants.
32. What does the underlined word “precious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Modern. B. Valuable. C. Beautiful. D. Traditional.
33. What do we know about Digory from Paragraph 4?
a. Why Digory is invented. b. How Digory is created.
c. What Digory is made from. d. Whether Digory looks real.
A. abc B. acd C. bcd D. abd
34 Which of the following does Fritz Vollrath agree?
A. Digory will save all the elephants from risks.
B. It’s hard for the world to accept man-made ivory.
C. It will take long to make Digory used worldwide.
D. Technology will support the protection of wildlife.
35. Which is the right structure of the text? (①= Para. 1 ②= Para. 2…)
A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①/②③/④⑤ C. ①②③④/⑤ D. ①/②/③④⑤
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D

【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Ivory, also known as “white gold”, has long been regarded as precious. Because of its unusual look, people often use it to make expensive things, such as jewellery, musical instruments and art.”可知,象牙也被称为“白金”,长期以来一直被认为是珍贵的。因为它不同寻常的外观,人们经常用它来制作昂贵的东西,如珠宝、乐器和艺术品。由此可推测出,下划线单词precious可以用valuable进行同义替换,意为“有价值的”符合语境。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段内容“Thaddäa Rath and her team at the University of Vienna have created the man-made ivory called “Digory”. It is made from synthetic resin (合成树脂) and calcium phosphate particles (磷酸钙颗粒).

A quasar (类星体) is an extremely bright object with a super-massive (超大质量的) black hole. About a million quasars have been known to humans. Quasar J0529-4351 is one of them, with 12 billion light years from the earth.
We have been able to see Quasar J0529-4351 since 1980. But it was so bright that people mistook it for a foreground star (前景恒星). In 2023, scientists finally identified (确认) it as a quasar as well as the brightest object in the universe, 500 trillion (万亿) times brighter than the sun. In 2024, a study on the quasar came out in Nature Astronomy. It was done by Australian scientist Christian Wolf and his team.
According to the recent study, Quasar J0529-4351 has a huge “stomach”. Like other quasars, it keeps taking in gas and dust in the space. In fact, it has the largest accretion disk (吸积盘) in the universe. It “eats” about as much as the sun’s mass (质量) every day, which makes it grow very fast. And we shouldn’t be surprised at how bright it is, because the brightness has much to do with how much it “eats”.
However, Quasar J0529-4351 is not the largest object. TON 618, found in 1957, is one of the largest black holes. It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun inside, while Quasar J0529-4351 is about 19 billion times larger than the sun.
Scientist have already learned that a black hole is formed when a star collapses (坍塌) on itself. And it grows by taking in other objects, including other black holes. But they still don’t know how super-massive black holes come into being. Scientists hope that studying quasars like this one will help them understand more about super-massive black holes. They also believe that there are probably more unusual quasars out there, waiting to be discovered.
36. How long have we been able to see Quasar J0529-4351?
A. More than 40 years. B. In 1980. C. For just 40 years. D. Less than 40 years.
37. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Quasar J0529-4351. B. The foreground star. C. The study. D. Nature Astronomy.
38. Which of the following is TRUE about Quasar J0529-4351?
A. It is 12 billion light years from the sun.
B. It is 500 trillion times brighter than the sun.
C. It can hold 66 billion stars the size of the sun.
D. It is about 19 billion times larger than TON 618.
39. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. When a star collapses. B. How a black hole grows.
C. Why scientists study quasars. D. What will be discovered next.
40. Which could be the best title for the text?
A. A Newly Seen Quasar B. Secrets of the Universe
C. Super-massive Black Holes D. Brightest Quasar Ever Seen
【答案】36. A 37. C 38. B 39. C 40. D
【解析】

Dragons are imaginary animals. That means they aren’t real. They’re important in many cultures around the world, but different cultures see dragons differently.
Dragons in the stories are usually regarded as awful animals in Europe, North America and South America. In western fairy tales, dragons have huge wings. They can breathe fire, which makes them scary. However there are some stories about good dragons in western culture.
Dragons also have a very long history in Australia and Oceania. Some of the stories there are more than 5, 000 years old. There are many different kinds of dragons, but the most famous is the bunyip (澳洲水兽). The bunyip is made from parts of different animals. It lives in the water and eats animals.
In Asia, however, dragons are beautiful animals. More than 4, 000 years ago, some stories about Asian dragons became known. In most stories, they don’t have wings. They look like huge lizards, but they aren’t scary. They help people. And they can bring people good luck.
One example of the Asian dragons is the Chinese Loong or Long. Very different from Western ideas about dragons, Chinese dragons are a symbol of good luck, success and power. They are also a symbol of the Chinese nation, so Chinese people consider themselves as descendants (后代) of the dragon.

61. 范文:
The Spirits of Dragons
Chinese dragons are different from western dragons.
Long ago, as a developing agricultural country, China badly relied on abundant rainfall. The dragon was believed to rule the rivers and seas and dominate the clouds and rains. During the feudal period, the dragon served as the symbol of the emperors and imperial authority. Later we Chinese people use the term ‘Descendants of the Dragon’ as a sign of ethnic identity, hoping that we are brave and powerful enough like dragons to control our own fate. So we often cut our hair on the second day of February, which means we are descendants of the dragon. Many parents also hope that their children are as great as dragons.
Once when my family and I were traveling abroad, we never litter or damage public property. Many people give us approving looks. When they knew that we were Chinese, they praised us even more. As a descendant of the dragon, I have always maintained a positive and uplifting spirit.
So let’s continue to promote and inherit the spirit of the dragon.
