If their owners lets them runaround freely on the streets, they will be fined (罚款). Don’t drive a dirty car in Minnesota. In Minnesota the US, you can get a small fine if your car leaves dirt or mud (泥土) on the city streets. You could face a fine up to $300 if your car is dirty, so wash it before you go into town. No chewing gum (口香糖) in Singapore. After some people used gum to cause trouble and the government spent $150,000 a year cleaning it up, Singapore banned (禁止) all gum in 1992. So don’t even blow bubbles (泡泡) in the street or you’ll also be fined! Never run out of gas (汽油) on the German Autobahn (a special highway system). On the German Autobahn, running out of gas will cost you a large fine, because Germans expect you to keep your car fueled up (加满). And don’t even think about walking to a gas station—you’ll get another fine. 21. Where is it against the law for allowing a duck to walk freely on the street? A. In Minnesota, the US. B.

When the officer looked over the passengers’ information, he discovered something shocking—the man in the front seat was wanted for kidnapping (绑架) a 6-year-old girl in another state! The driver also had a dangerous criminal record. Inside the car, the officer noticed a little girl who looked about the same age as the missing child. When he asked her name, she gave a wrong answer, looking scared and worried. Seeing this, the kind officer spoke to her gently and patiently (耐心地). Finally, she told him her real name—she was the missing girl herself! With the help from another police officer who arrived quickly, the two criminals were arrested (逮捕) at once. The little girl was checked by doctors and, luckily, wasn’t hurt at all. The Kansas Highway Patrol later praised the officer for being so observant (机警的) and caring. Because of his good work, the poor little girl got back to her loving family after missing for a month. After the news was reported on TV, numbers of people came to know how police officers can help them in different ways.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了堪萨斯州公路巡逻队的一名警察在执行超速检查任务时，意外发现一辆SUV的前排乘客是跨州绑架6岁女孩的通缉犯。警察通过细心观察和耐心沟通，成功解救了被绑架的小女孩，两名罪犯被逮捕，小女孩平安回到家人身边，此事也引发公众对警察工作的关注与感激。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the man in the front seat was wanted for kidnapping (绑架) a 6-year-old girl in another state! The driver also had a dangerous criminal record.”以及“When he asked her name, she gave a wrong answer, looking scared and worried. ”可知，文中提到女孩被绑架，面对警察时表现出害怕和担忧，她一开始说谎最可能是被绑架者胁迫。D选项“绑架者让她这么做”符合逻辑。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A police officer on the Kansas Highway Patrol (堪萨斯州公路巡逻队) stopped an SUV for driving too fast.”、“Inside the car, the officer noticed a little girl who looked about the same age as the missing child.”、“Seeing this, the kind officer spoke to her gently and patiently (耐心地). Finally, she told him her real name—she was the missing girl herself!”和“With the help from another police officer who arrived quickly, the two criminals were arrested (逮捕) at once.”可知，首先是警察因SUV超速将其拦下（b）；然后警察发现前排乘客是绑架通缉犯（a）；接着警察耐心沟通让女孩说出真名（d）；最后在另一名警察协助下逮捕两名罪犯（c）。所以顺序是badc。故选D。 【26题详解】 最佳标题题。通读原文可知，文章围绕警察一次看似平常的交通拦截，最终成功解救被绑架女孩展开。A 选项“一次平常的拦截让女孩回家”符合主旨。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Several days later, a thank-you letter by the family of the missing girl also touched everyone’s heart.”可知，文章结尾提到失踪女孩家人的感谢信触动人心，接下来最有可能讲述女孩父母对警察说的话。B选项 “女孩的父母对警察说的话”符合题意。故选B。 C ①Right now, there are 1,032 people around the world looking at a screen to help some fish. They are watching an underwater camera (摄像机) in a river in Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands. There is a gate in the river, but it only opens when boats come. In early spring, many fish want to swim through the city to reproduce (繁殖). But because there are no boats, the gate stays closed. That’s a big problem for the fish. They wait and wait, but the water doesn’t move. ②Three years ago, two researchers, Anne and Mark, saw many fish waiting near the gate. They also saw some birds looking for food, so the fish were in danger. Anne and Mark worried that some of them could be eaten and they wanted to help. ③Mark came up with the idea of the Fish Doorbell. People can observe the fish with the underwater camera on the Internet. When they see many fish waiting, they can press a button (按下按钮). Then, a worker near the gate gets the message and opens the gate. This way, the fish can swim on and stay safe. The gate doesn’t open too early or too late. It opens at the best time. ④Many people like this new idea. Over 9 million people have visited the website, and more than 40,000 people have pressed the doorbell. They think it’s so useful and easy that even kids can do it. ⑤One more good thing about the Fish Doorbell is that with the camera, workers can learn about the fish. They can see the size of the fish, the time they come, and how they change each year, which helps people understand the fish and the river better. ⑥Anne says the Fish Doorbell is also good for people to learn. Many people don’t know that fish swim through cities or why they need help. But after watching the fish, they start to care more about them. That’s why this small idea has made a big change. 28. In Para.3, the underlined word “observe” may mean ________. A. fixing something broken. B. using something actively. C. recording something for later. D. watching something carefully. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. The Fish Doorbell helps people care more about fish. B. Many people are interested in the Fish Doorbell. C. Everyone can press the button and open the gate. D. The Fish Doorbell is good for people to learn. 30. The writer wrote the passage to ________. A. show how people help the fish B. describe fish problems in the river C. explain when the Fish Doorbell works D. explain how fish move through cities 31. What would be the best structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了荷兰乌得勒支市河流中帮助鱼类洄游的“鱼门铃”项目。研究人员发现鱼因船闸关闭无法洄游面临危险，于是发明鱼门铃，人们通过网络摄像头观察鱼群，按下按钮通知工人开闸，让鱼安全通过，还提到该项目带来的多方面益处，如让人们更关注鱼类等。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“People can observe the fish with the underwater camera on the Internet. When they see many fish waiting, they can press a button.”可知，这里是说人们通过水下摄像头看鱼，看到鱼等待时就按按钮，所以observe意思是“仔细观察”。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Many people don’t know that fish swim through cities or why they need help. But after watching the fish, they start to care more about them.”可知，人们通过鱼门铃开始更关心鱼。故选A。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章主要围绕人们如何利用鱼门铃帮助鱼洄游展开，A选项“展示人们如何帮助鱼”符合主旨。故选A。 【31题详解】 篇章结构题。通读原文可知，文章第一段引出鱼需要帮助的问题；第二段介绍问题产生的背景；第三段说明解决办法即鱼门铃的工作原理；第四、五、六段分别阐述鱼门铃带来的不同益处，是总分结构。①总述问题，②③分述问题背景和解决办法，④⑤⑥分述益处。故选C。 Ⅴ.口语应用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 A: Good morning.

According to the latest policy (政策), all schools must provide at least 60 minutes of outdoor activities every school day, such as morning runs, group sports, and free exercise time. As soon as the new policy comes out, all schools take action quickly. Some schools are planning inter-class tug-of-war games (拔河比赛), and others will build new cycling tracks. Now, quite a few schools in Chongqing are making creative exercise plans: For example, No.8 Middle School holds “fun basketball” competitions during breaks, while Yubei Experimental School organizes mountain hiking trips every Friday afternoon. It seems that most of the students are happy about the change of exercise at school. When the reporter interviewed a student from No.8 Middle School, he said, “________”, holding a basketball in his sweaty (流汗的) hand. Why did this policy appear? Recent surveys (调查) show that 65% of students spent less than 30 minutes exercising daily before this policy. Why? Because students spent too much time on their learning in the classroom. They kept studying indoors instead of going out for exercise. It took them a long time to learn the knowledge from their books every day. What’s more, they had a lot of homework to finish every day. Even after school they chose to do their homework in the classroom or at home. They didn’t have enough time to exercise. However, doctors say that enough exercise not only builds stronger bodies but also helps students remember things better and reduces stress. “When students run or play team sports, their brains (大脑) get more oxygen (氧气), which helps them study better,” says Dr. Wang from Children’s Hospital. As the new policy is carried out, middle school students can have more time to exercise and stay healthy. This will not only make them stronger but also help them study better. 37. Does the new policy ask schools to provide more exercise time for students? ___________________________________________________________ 38. What creative exercise plan can we find in No.8 Middle School? ___________________________________________________________ 39. Why did most students spend less time exercising before this new policy? ___________________________________________________________ 40. What may the student from No.8 Middle School say according to the passage? (About 25 words) _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】37. Yes. 38. “Fun basketball” competitions during breaks. 39. Long study hours and heavy homework. 40. The student from No.8 Middle School may say, “Exercise during breaks makes me feel relaxed and energetic, and it also helps me focus better on my studies.” 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了在最新出台的政策下，学生作业减少，负担减少，有更多时间参与课外兴趣活动。 【37题详解】 根据“According to the latest policy (政策), all schools must provide at least 60 minutes of outdoor activities every school day, such as morning runs, group sports, and free exercise time.”可知，新政策确实要求学校为学生提供更多的锻炼时间。故填Yes. 38题详解】 根据“For example, No.8 Middle School holds ‘fun basketball’ competitions during breaks, while Yubei Experimental School organizes mountain hiking trips every Friday afternoon.”可知， 在第八中学，我们可以发现他们创造性的锻炼计划是在课间举办“趣味篮球”比赛。故填“Fun basketball” competitions during breaks. 【39题详解】 根据“Because students spent too much time on their learning in the classroom.”和“What’s more, they had a lot of homework to finish every day.”可知，在这项新政策出台之前，大多数学生由于学习时间长和作业繁重，所以锻炼时间较少。故填Long study hours and heavy homework. 【40题详解】 此题为开放性试题，言之有理即可。故填The student from No.8 Middle School may say, “Exercise during breaks makes me feel relaxed and energetic, and it also helps me focus better on my studies.” Ⅶ. 阅读填空。（每空2分，共8分） 阅读下文，根据文章内容完成下面表格，每空1-3词。 An Invention (发明) for the Blind For millions of blind people around the world, Braille (盲文) is an important way to read and write. Braille uses raised marks (符号) to stand for. But not everyone can get modern Braille tools. Electronic Braille readers (电子盲文阅读器) cost over $1,000, which many students can’t buy because they cost too much, especially in poor areas. Yash, a student in Grade 8 at Durham Academy in North Carolina, visited a school for blind students in India and noticed that students were using large printed Braille books to read, which were really heavy. “None of them used light electronic readers—it was sad to see how not having enough money was stopping them from learning,” he said. Wanting to help, Yash made the decision to build an electronic Braille reader that anyone could have enough money to buy. He wanted to build it for less than $50. After trying many times, Yash finally built a model, which used small turning parts to create little raised parts that felt like Braille marks. Yash tested it at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi, India, and the students there could read Braille on it, and his model cost only $35. He reached the finals of the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge and also won the first place in the Technology Award category. He was named as one of the country’s best young scientists as well. Building this tool helped Yash learn many new skills. For example, Yash had always been good with something like the screen and keyboard. However, he didn’t know much about the code (编码) running on the computer. He had to teach himself to write steps to tell a computer what to do. To learn more, Yash watched videos on YouTube and read on Reddit. Looking back, Yash has advice for young inventors. “Start by working out problems that are small in your daily life,” he says. “You don’t need to make something perfect. Keep making your ideas better and better and keep asking people for advice. That’s how your ideas turn into solutions.” An Invention for the Blind Problems faced by blind people ·Not everyone can get electronic Braille readers because they are too ___41___.

Yash’s advice for young inventors ·Start by ____44____ in your daily life. ·Don’t think about making something perfect. ·Keeping making ideas better and better. ·Keeping asking people for advice. 【答案】41. expensive 42. The reasons for 43. pay 44. solving small problems 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了北卡罗来纳州杜伦学院八年级学生亚什，看到印度盲人学校学生因电子盲文阅读器昂贵而无法使用，只能用沉重的印刷盲文书阅读后，决心发明价格亲民的电子盲文阅读器。经过多次尝试，他成功制作出成本仅35美元的模型，还在相关创新挑战赛中获奖。此外，文章还提及他从发明中学习新技能以及给年轻发明家的建议。 【41题详解】 根据“Electronic Braille readers cost over $1,000, which many students can’t buy because they cost too much”可知，电子盲文阅读器太贵，很多人买不起。故填expensive。 【42题详解】 根据“Printed Braille books were really heavy.”和“Yash was sad to see how not having enough money was stopping the students from learning.”可知，此部分表格内容列举了促使亚什发明的原因，如印刷盲文书沉重、资金不足阻碍学生学习等，故填The reasons for。 【43题详解】 根据“his model cost only $35”可知，这里表示人们需要为这个模型支付35美元，pay for表示“为……付款”，故填pay。 【44题详解】 根据“Start by working out problems that are small in your daily life”可知，work out与solve意思相近，都表示“解决”，故填solving small problems。 Ⅷ.用所给词适当形式填空，每空不限一词。（每空1分，共10分） 45. The flag ________ (rise) up and stopped in the right place. 【答案】rose 【解析】 【详解】句意：旗帜升起，停在了合适的位置。stopped为动词过去式；and为并列连词，前后连接词性时态需一致；rise为动词原形，过去式为rose。故填rose。 46. After three hours’ ________ (argue), he felt really tired. 【答案】argument 【解析】 【详解】句意：三个小时的争论之后，他感到真的很累。根据“three hours’”以及所给单词“argue”可知，这里需要一个名词，argue是动词“争论”，其名词形式是argument，名词所有格three hours’后面应接名词，且“three hours’ argument”表示“三个小时的争论”，符合语境。故填argument。 47. Jack fell ________ (sleep) quickly because he worked hard in the day. 【答案】asleep 【解析】 【详解】句意：杰克很快就睡着了，因为他白天工作很努力。此处应是短语fall asleep“入睡，睡着”，是固定搭配。故填asleep。 48. This woman with her friends really enjoyed ________ (she) at the party. 【答案】herself 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个女士和她朋友在聚会上真得玩得很开心。enjoy oneself意为“玩得开心”，固定搭配。本句主语为This woman，with her friends为伴随主语，故空处需代词she的反身代词herself。故填herself。 49. It was raining even ________ (heavy) when you returned home yesterday. 【答案】more heavily 【解析】 【详解】句意：昨天你回家的时候，雨下得甚至更大了。rain是动词，意思是“下雨”，需要用副词来修饰。heavy是形容词，副词形式是heavily；even常用来修饰比较级，强调程度的进一步加深；heavily是多音节副词，其比较级是more heavily，表示“更大程度地；更猛烈地”。故填more heavily。 50. Everybody was ________ (complete) surprised when hearing the shocking news. 【答案】completely 【解析】 【详解】句意：当听到这个令人震惊的消息时，所有人都感到非常惊讶。 根据“Everybody was...(complete) surprised”可知，空处应是副词completely，修饰形容词surprised。故填completely。 51. The man did whatever he could ________ (compete) for the prize. 【答案】to compete 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个男人竭尽所能去角逐这个奖项。 根据“The man did whatever he could...(compete) for the prize.”可知，此处应是动词不定式作目的状语，to compete符合语境。故填to compete。 52. When he returned home, his father ________ (lie) on the sofa. 【答案】was lying 【解析】 【详解】句意：当他回到家时，他的父亲正躺在沙发上。分析句子题干可知，when引导的时间状语从句he returned home用了一般过去时，表示过去某个时间点发生的动作。主句要用过去进行时。过去进行时的结构是“was/were+现在分词”，his father为第三人称单数，be动词需用单数形式。故填was lying。 53. The cleaner swept the ________ (fall) leaves on the ground very quickly. 【答案】fallen 【解析】 【详解】句意：清洁工很快就把地上的落叶扫干净了。 根据“swept the...(fall) leaves”可知，空后是名词leaves，空处应是形容词fallen“落下的”，作定语。故填fallen。 54. They thought the result of the competition was ________ (fair), and they felt really angry. 【答案】unfair 【解析】 【详解】句意：他们认为比赛结果不公平，所以他们感到非常生气。根据“and they felt really angry.”及所给单词可知，空格处需表示“不公平”；fair意思是“公平的”，反义词是unfair，意思是“不公平的”，符合题意。故填unfair。 Ⅸ完成句子。每空一词，含缩略词。（每空1分，共10分） 55. Her elder brother had a nosebleed.（对划线部分提问） What ________ the ________ with her elder brother? 【答案】 ①. was ②. matter##trouble##problem 【解析】 【详解】句意：她哥哥流鼻血了。划线部分表示身体问题，对身体问题提问可用What is the matter/trouble/problem。根据“had”可知时态是一般过去时，be动词用was。故填was；matter/trouble/problem。 56. Jeremy cut out the useless words in the article. (改为否定句) Jeremy ________ ________ cut out the useless words in the article. 【答案】 ①. did ②. not 【解析】 【详解】句意：杰里米删掉了文章中无用的词。 原句“Jeremy cut out the useless words...”是一般过去时，cut是动词的过去式，改为否定句时，应在句中加助动词did not。故填did；not。 57. The student didn’t fold his clothes. He swept the floor instead. (改为同义句) The students swept the floor ________ ________ folding his clothes. 【答案】 ①. instead ②. of 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个学生没有叠他的衣服。相反，他扫了地。 instead of“代替”，后接动名词。故填instead；of。 58. 我认为恰当的沟通可以帮助我和父母相处得更好。（翻译句子） I think ________ ________ can help me get along better with my parents 【答案】 ①. proper ②. communication 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“恰当的沟通”，其英文表达为proper communication，作宾语从句的主语。故填proper；communication。 59. 那个农民昨天给我们提供了充足的水和食物。（翻译句子） That farmer ________ us ________ enough food and water yesterday. 【答案】 ①. provided ②. with 【解析】 【详解】根据题干可知，provide sb. with sth.“给某人提供某物”，句中时态为一般过去时，动词使用过去式。故填provided；with。 X. 书面表达。(20分) 60. 俗话说，家家有本难念的经。每个家庭都不可避免地会有一些问题。假如你是李华，你的朋友李明给你发送邮件，里面提到他和父母最近争吵不断，原因主要是他经常熬夜打游戏，忽视学习。家庭问题让他最近非常郁闷，请你根据以下要点，就他的问题，写一封电子邮件进行回复，并在邮件中给予一些有效的建议。 Problem stay up late, get addicted (沉迷) to computer games, lose interest in study...

Try not to laugh your head off! It’s against the law for a chicken to cross the road in Georgia. A law in Georgia the US, says chickens, ducks, geese, and other fowl (家禽) must be locked up. If their owners lets them runaround freely on the streets, they will be fined (罚款). Don’t drive a dirty car in Minnesota. In Minnesota the US, you can get a small fine if your car leaves dirt or mud (泥土) on the city streets. You could face a fine up to $300 if your car is dirty, so wash it before you go into town. No chewing gum (口香糖) in Singapore. After some people used gum to cause trouble and the government spent $150,000 a year cleaning it up, Singapore banned (禁止) all gum in 1992. So don’t even blow bubbles (泡泡) in the street or you’ll also be fined! Never run out of gas (汽油) on the German Autobahn (a special highway system). On the German Autobahn, running out of gas will cost you a large fine, because Germans expect you to keep your car fueled up (加满). And don’t even think about walking to a gas station—you’ll get another fine. 21. Where is it against the law for allowing a duck to walk freely on the street? A. In Minnesota, the US. B.

B In February,2025,A police officer on the Kansas Highway Patrol (堪萨斯州公路巡逻队) stopped an SUV for driving too fast. What seemed like a normal traffic stop turned into something much more important. When the officer looked over the passengers’ information, he discovered something shocking—the man in the front seat was wanted for kidnapping (绑架) a 6-year-old girl in another state! The driver also had a dangerous criminal record. Inside the car, the officer noticed a little girl who looked about the same age as the missing child. When he asked her name, she gave a wrong answer, looking scared and worried. Seeing this, the kind officer spoke to her gently and patiently (耐心地). Finally, she told him her real name—she was the missing girl herself! With the help from another police officer who arrived quickly, the two criminals were arrested (逮捕) at once. The little girl was checked by doctors and, luckily, wasn’t hurt at all. The Kansas Highway Patrol later praised the officer for being so observant (机警的) and caring. Because of his good work, the poor little girl got back to her loving family after missing for a month. After the news was reported on TV, numbers of people came to know how police officers can help them in different ways. Several days later, a thank-you letter by the family of the missing girl also touched everyone’s heart. 24. What was the most likely reason the girl lied at first? A. She couldn’t remember her name. B. She didn’t want to go home. C. She wanted to protect the two men. D. The kidnappers made her do so. 25. Put these events in the correct order. a) The officer found the passenger was wanted for kidnapping. b) The SUV was stopped for driving too fast on the Kansas Highway. c) Both criminals were arrested with another officer’s help. d) The girl gave her real name after the officer gained her trust.

What price the criminals will have to pay. D. How to find missing kids in our life. C ①Right now, there are 1,032 people around the world looking at a screen to help some fish. They are watching an underwater camera (摄像机) in a river in Utrecht, a city in the Netherlands. There is a gate in the river, but it only opens when boats come. In early spring, many fish want to swim through the city to reproduce (繁殖). But because there are no boats, the gate stays closed. That’s a big problem for the fish. They wait and wait, but the water doesn’t move. ②Three years ago two researchers, Anne and Mark, saw many fish waiting near the gate. They also saw some birds looking for food, so the fish were in danger. Anne and Mark worried that some of them could be eaten and they wanted to help. ③Mark came up with the idea of the Fish Doorbell. People can observe the fish with the underwater camera on the Internet. When they see many fish waiting, they can press a button (按下按钮). Then, a worker near the gate gets the message and opens the gate. This way, the fish can swim on and stay safe. The gate doesn’t open too early or too late. It opens at the best time. ④Many people like this new idea. Over 9 million people have visited the website, and more than 40,000 people have pressed the doorbell. They think it’s so useful and easy that even kids can do it. ⑤One more good thing about the Fish Doorbell is that with the camera, workers can learn about the fish. They can see the size of the fish, the time they come, and how they change each year, which helps people understand the fish and the river better. ⑥Anne says the Fish Doorbell is also good for people to learn. Many people don’t know that fish swim through cities or why they need help. But after watching the fish, they start to care more about them. That’s why this small idea has made a big change. 28. In Para.3, the underlined word “observe” may mean ________. A. fixing something broken. B. using something actively. C. recording something for later. D. watching something carefully. 29. What can we infer from the passage? A. The Fish Doorbell helps people care more about fish. B. Many people are interested in the Fish Doorbell. C. Everyone can press the button and open the gate. D. The Fish Doorbell is good for people to learn. 30. The writer wrote the passage to ________. A. show how people help the fish B. describe fish problems in the river C. explain when the Fish Doorbell works D. explain how fish move through cities 31. What would be the best structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. Ⅴ.口语应用。（每小题1分，共5分） 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 A: Good morning B: Good morning. I’m a reporter from Chongqing Daily.

According to the latest policy (政策), all schools must provide at least 60 minutes of outdoor activities every school day, such as morning runs, group sports, and free exercise time. As soon as the new policy comes out, all schools take action quickly. Some schools are planning inter-class tug-of-war games (拔河比赛), and others will build new cycling tracks. Now, quite a few schools in Chongqing are making creative exercise plans: For example, No.8 Middle School holds “fun basketball” competitions during breaks, while Yubei Experimental School organizes mountain hiking trips every Friday afternoon. It seems that most of the students are happy about the change of exercise at school. When the reporter interviewed a student from No.8 Middle School, he said, “________”, holding a basketball in his sweaty (流汗的) hand. Why did this policy appear? Recent surveys (调查) show that 65% of students spent less than 30 minutes exercising daily before this policy. Why? Because students spent too much time on their learning in the classroom. They kept studying indoors instead of going out for exercise. It took them a long time to learn the knowledge from their books every day. What’s more, they had a lot of homework to finish every day. Even after school they chose to do their homework in the classroom or at home. They didn’t have enough time to exercise. However, doctors say that enough exercise not only builds stronger bodies but also helps students remember things better and reduces stress. “When students run or play team sports, their brains (大脑) get more oxygen (氧气), which helps them study better,” says Dr. Wang from Children’s Hospital. As the new policy is carried out, middle school students can have more time to exercise and stay healthy. This will not only make them stronger but also help them study better. 37. Does the new policy ask schools to provide more exercise time for students? ___________________________________________________________ 38. What creative exercise plan can we find in No.8 Middle School? ___________________________________________________________ 39. Why did most students spend less time exercising before this new policy? ___________________________________________________________ 40. What may the student from No.8 Middle School say according to the passage?

Electronic Braille readers (电子盲文阅读器) cost over $1,000, which many students can’t buy because they cost too much, especially in poor areas. Yash, a student in Grade 8 at Durham Academy in North Carolina, visited a school for blind students in India and noticed that students were using large printed Braille books to read, which were really heavy. “None of them used light electronic readers—it was sad to see how not having enough money was stopping them from learning,” he said. Wanting to help, Yash made the decision to build an electronic Braille reader that anyone could have enough money to buy. He wanted to build it for less than $50. After trying many times Yash finally built a model, which used small turning parts to create little raised parts that felt like Braille marks. Yash tested it at the Blind Relief Association in New Delhi, India, and the students there could read Braille on it, and his model cost only $35. He reached the finals of the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge and also won the first place in the Technology Award category. He was named as one of the country’s best young scientists as well. Building this tool helped Yash learn many new skills. For example, Yash had always been good with something like the screen and keyboard. However, he didn’t know much about the code (编码) running on the computer. He had to teach himself to write steps to tell a computer what to do. To learn more, Yash watched videos on YouTube and read on Reddit. Looking back, Yash has advice for young inventors. “Start by working out problems that are small in your daily life,” he says. “You don’t need to make something perfect. Keep making your ideas better and better and keep asking people for advice. That’s how your ideas turn into solutions.” An Invention for the Blind Problems faced by blind people ·Not everyone can get electronic Braille readers because they are too ___41___.
