Chen Honghan is a student from Nizhuhe village on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou in Southwest China. She used to walk for three hours through high, dangerous mountains to reach school. Her parents were always worried about her safety. Sometimes, she even thought of giving up on school. But now, thanks to the “cloud school bus”, her journey has been reduced to a 30-minute trip, which feels like flying through the clouds.
The change began in 2017. A tourism project led to the building of a cable car (缆车) and a lift to help people reach the top of the mountains. By 2022, these services were completed and became free for villagers. It’s later called the “cloud school bus” because it makes the school journey safer and easier for students like Chen. The school’s headteacher, Cui Ying, noticed an important improvement in the students’ learning behavior since the journey became more convenient.
The new project has also brought many tourists to the area. By 2024, Nizhuha had attracted 300,000 visitors, making nearly 20 million yuan. This project has greatly improved the lives of the villagers, with many starting new businesses like coffee shops and hotels.
Cai Xiong, who grew up here, helped develop the tourism project. “As a child growing up in the mountains, I never thought it was beautiful. All I saw were difficult mountain roads, and I just wanted to run away. But when I returned as an adult, I realized the beauty of the place,” said Cai.
“This tourism project is not only meant to improve villagers’ lives, but also to serve as a ‘ladder (阶梯) to the clouds’ for the children. I hope they will climb this ladder, gain experience and grow, and eventually return with the skills to make their hometown even better,” he said.

(2025·广东深圳·二模)One sunny afternoon, Uncle Tom sang a song about heaven with little Eva in the garden. “I see angels in my dreams,” Eva said softly, pointing to the sky. “I’ll go there soon.”
Tom’s heart felt heavy. Eva looked pale these days—always tired, breathing fast, and coughing often. Miss Ophelia noticed too. “The child needs a doctor,” she told Eva’s father—Mr. St. Clare. “Stop!” St. Clare replied. “She’s just growing taller.”
As Eva’s health got even worse and she couldn’t leave the house, St. Clare sent her to the hospital finally. In a week or two, it seemed Eva was better. He smiled, “See? She’s fine now.” Miss Ophelia shook her head quietly.
That evening, Eva hugged her father. “I must leave you soon,” she whispered, tears falling.
“Don’t say that!” St. Clare held her small hands. “You’ll get well soon.”
“No, Papa.” Eva looked at him sincerely. “I’m not afraid of death. But I worry about our slaves (奴隶). I wish they were free.”
St. Clare frowned. “We treat them kindly.”
“Kindness isn’t freedom. There are very few men like you. Some people buy the husbands but not the wives, some people buy the mothers and sell the children.” Eva answered. “Promise me—free Uncle Tom when I...sleep.”
St. Clare’s face turned pale. “The law allows us to own slaves...” He stopped, seeing her tears.
Tom stood by the window, his song floating through the twilight. Eva listened, and smiled at the garden flowers. Miss Ophelia wiped her eyes, knowing the child couldn’t say anymore.

(2025·广东深圳·二模)Nowadays, most people may think twice before picking up calls from unknown numbers. However, 8.1 million people around the world are waiting for calls from strangers because they are volunteers for Be My Eyes.
Be My Eyes is a free app created in 2015. It connects blind and low-vision (低视力) users with volunteers through live video calls, allowing them to get real-time help with everyday tasks. The founder used to worry about how to find enough volunteers. But today, volunteers outnumber blind and low-vision users by ten to one.

Dick patiently guided her to move her phone so that he could see the floor clearly. When they finally found the ring, there was a sound of relief from the woman. “This made me realize how important the call is for people. I feel great to help someone like that”, Dick explained.
Tesha, blind for 13 years, always uses Be My Eyes. From cooking, cleaning to packing for her travels, the Be My Eyes volunteers are always there to help her. To her, making a Be My Eyes call is more than just getting help. The short connection with another person during the call makes her feel better.

(2025·广东深圳·二模)At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala, 16 robots wowed hundreds of millions of viewers. Wang Xingxing, their “boss” and the founder of Unitree Robotics, became an overnight star.
Wang didn’t use to be a “star” student. He had trouble with English and often failed English tests. Yet, he loved building small machines and creating new things. When he studied robotics in college, his talent finally found its voice. Today, the man who couldn’t shine in English has made the world amazed at Chinese robotics.
Wang’s story proves that the Bucket Theory (木桶理论) is not always the case. According to the theory, the amount of water a bucket can hold depends on its shortest board. Similarly, the weakest part of people often decides his overall performance. That’s why it is generally believed the key to success lies on improving one’s weakness instead of developing his strongest points. However, Wang focused his strengths on robotics, kept trying and created new possibilities.
In fact, everyone has their own advantages. But how can you discover them? Let’s start by thinking about what you enjoy and what comes naturally to you. For example, if you love drawing, try joining an art club or taking a design course. Also, try new activities, and you might uncover some hidden talents. Maybe you’ve never tried programming before, but after a workshop, probably you will realize you have a gift for it. Finally, never stop learning; it opens doors to new interests and skills.

A.Working out difficult problems. B.Studying robotics at university.
C.Shining on the stages at school. D.Getting good grades in English.
3.What can be learned from paragraph 3?

At the police station, fear and shame filled me. I kept thinking, “How could I be so stupid! I must let my father down!” When dad arrived, his sad, cold voice cut through me like a knife, “My daughter... a thief...”

(2025·广东广州·二模)Sarah and her best friend, Alex, loved exploring the forest near their neighborhood. One day, while they were exploring through the woods, Sarah stepped upon a shiny rock hidden under a pile of leaves. Excitedly, she said to Alex. “Look at what I found! It looks like a valuable diamond. Promise not to tell anyone! It’s just a secret between you and me.” Alex nodded, agreeing to keep it a secret.
Later that afternoon, Sarah and Alex met their friend, Emily, in the neighborhood. Unable to control her excitement, Alex told Emily about the treasure Sarah had found.

(2025·广州执信中学·二模)“Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.

(2025·广州第一中学·二模)Ken was going to play football in the park with his best friend John. When they were about to leave, Ken’s mum came back with a letter.
“Bad news,” she said. “The apartment managers want to build a fitness centre where the park is.” Ken’s heart dropped. The park wasn’t just their football field—it was also home to the ancient sandalwood trees. John complained, “They didn’t even ask us!”
Determined, the boys wrote a letter that evening. “We’ll explain how the park helps everyone!” Ken said, typing angrily. The next morning, they marched to the management office, hearts pounding.
The managers listened politely as they read their letter. “But more people will use a new fitness centre,” Ms. Brown, one of the managers said, her smile not reaching her eyes. Then she walked the boys out.
“They didn’t care at all!” Ken said as they walked towards the park. Then they stopped at the entrance.
A shiny new sign read: “Future Home of Fitness Centre.” Behind it, the grand sandalwood tree stood tall, its leaves rustling sadly in the wind. A wild idea came to Ken. “Let’s make the tree SPEAK!”
They raced home, grabbed cardboard and markers, and created a sign:
“I’m a Hawaiian sandalwood. I don’t grow anywhere else in the world. My family almost died out forever. Please save me!”
Hanging it on the tree, they stepped back. “Do you think anyone will notice?” John whispered.

“My flowers make Hawaiian leis—symbols of love!” bloomed beside a bush.
Even the grass had a sign: “I stop floods by holding the soil!”
People in the community crowded around, discussing. Ms. Brown stared at a sign about heart medicine. “My grandma’s pills...could they come from plants?” she wondered aloud.
Days later, Ms. Brown invited the boys to her office, her strict face softened. “The voices of the trees are heard.” She said, “We decided to upgrade the old fitness centre and keep the park for outdoor yoga and t’ai chi.”

Leaving the others on Elephant Island, Shackleton chose 5 men to go with him to South Georgia in a tiny lifeboat.
After 15 days with winds of 60km an hour and waves of up to 15m high, they arrived in South Georgia. The weather was so bad that they couldn’t land for 2 days. Even when they landed, their journey wasn’t over. The whaling station was 60km away on the other side of the mountainous island. No one had ever crossed South Georgia on foot before. The men kept walking for 36 hours. They had no tent and could not stop to rest for more than a few minutes—if they fell asleep they would die of the cold. Finally, they made it and reached the whaling station.
In August 1916, they returned to Elephant Island in a small boat provided by the Chilean (智利的) government. The other 23 men were still alive and then saved. He died in 1922 and was buried in South Georgia, honored as a man who showed unbelievable bravery in his life.

(2025·广东广州·二模)Wang Zizhong, a 78-year-old farmer from Ciyu Village in Shandong Province, has spent 42 years working to green the mountains and protect the forests, alongside his 55-year-old son, Wang Tao.
In 1983, Wang noticed the dry, lifeless hills to the north of his village. The land suffered from serious soil loss, making life hard for the villagers. In order to help, he left his job as a village teacher and asked the government for permission to plant trees there.
Together with his family, Wang moved into a stone cave on the mountain. His two young sons stayed in the cave while he and his wife worked day and night. They dug holes for seedlings (树苗) and carried water uphill for miles, as there were no roads. Each bucket of water could only feed a few trees, so they made countless trips every day. For over a month each season, they slept on simple beds, ate dry pancakes softened with river water, and seldom returned home.
In 1997, Wang Zizhong’s wife suddenly passed away from a heart attack while on the mountain because she was too tired. Heartbroken but strong, Wang continued the work alone.
Through rain, wind, and endless challenges, the family planted over 200,000 trees—cypress, locust, and poplar—across 133 hectares (公顷). The once-brown mountains turned into healthy forests and were named as a national protected area in 2002. Wang became its guardian, planting even more trees while keeping watch.
By 2017, age slowed him down, so he passed the duty to his son, Wang Tao. Having grown up alongside his father, Wang Tao gladly took over. Today, he walks the same paths, caring for the forest and honoring his father’s dream.
Wang Zizhong’s story is one of courage, hard work, and a deep love for nature. His family’s green treasure now breathes life to the land, encouraging future generations to care for our planet.

(2025·广东深圳·二模)
Chen Honghan is a student from Nizhuhe village on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou in Southwest China. She used to walk for three hours through high, dangerous mountains to reach school. Her parents were always worried about her safety. Sometimes, she even thought of giving up on school. But now, thanks to the “cloud school bus”, her journey has been reduced to a 30-minute trip, which feels like flying through the clouds.
The change began in 2017. A tourism project led to the building of a cable car (缆车) and a lift to help people reach the top of the mountains. By 2022, these services were completed and became free for villagers. It’s later called the “cloud school bus” because it makes the school journey safer and easier for students like Chen. The school’s headteacher, Cui Ying, noticed an important improvement in the students’ learning behavior since the journey became more convenient.
The new project has also brought many tourists to the area. By 2024, Nizhuha had attracted 300,000 visitors, making nearly 20 million yuan. This project has greatly improved the lives of the villagers, with many starting new businesses like coffee shops and hotels.
Cai Xiong, who grew up here, helped develop the tourism project. “As a child growing up in the mountains, I never thought it was beautiful. All I saw were difficult mountain roads, and I just wanted to run away. But when I returned as an adult, I realized the beauty of the place,” said Cai.
“This tourism project is not only meant to improve villagers’ lives, but also to serve as a ‘ladder (阶梯) to the clouds’ for the children. I hope they will climb this ladder, gain experience and grow, and eventually return with the skills to make their hometown even better,” he said.

D.It’s aimed at making more money for the school in the village.

As Eva’s health got even worse and she couldn’t leave the house, St. Clare sent her to the hospital finally. In a week or two, it seemed Eva was better. He smiled, “See? She’s fine now.” Miss Ophelia shook her head quietly.

“No, Papa.” Eva looked at him sincerely. “I’m not afraid of death. But I worry about our slaves (奴隶). I wish they were free.”

“Kindness isn’t freedom. There are very few men like you. Some people buy the husbands but not the wives, some people buy the mothers and sell the children.” Eva answered. “Promise me—free Uncle Tom when I...sleep.”
St. Clare’s face turned pale. “The law allows us to own slaves...” He stopped, seeing her tears.

(2025·广东深圳·二模)Nowadays, most people may think twice before picking up calls from unknown numbers. However, 8.1 million people around the world are waiting for calls from strangers because they are volunteers for Be My Eyes.
Be My Eyes is a free app created in 2015. It connects blind and low-vision (低视力) users with volunteers through live video calls, allowing them to get real-time help with everyday tasks. The founder used to worry about how to find enough volunteers. But today, volunteers outnumber blind and low-vision users by ten to one.

Dick patiently guided her to move her phone so that he could see the floor clearly. When they finally found the ring, there was a sound of relief from the woman. “This made me realize how important the call is for people. I feel great to help someone like that”, Dick explained.
Tesha, blind for 13 years, always uses Be My Eyes. From cooking, cleaning to packing for her travels, the Be My Eyes volunteers are always there to help her. To her, making a Be My Eyes call is more than just getting help. The short connection with another person during the call makes her feel better.

(2025·广东深圳·二模)At the 2025 Spring Festival Gala, 16 robots wowed hundreds of millions of viewers. Wang Xingxing, their “boss” and the founder of Unitree Robotics, became an overnight star.
Wang didn’t use to be a “star” student. He had trouble with English and often failed English tests. Yet, he loved building small machines and creating new things. When he studied robotics in college, his talent finally found its voice. Today, the man who couldn’t shine in English has made the world amazed at Chinese robotics.
Wang’s story proves that the Bucket Theory (木桶理论) is not always the case. According to the theory, the amount of water a bucket can hold depends on its shortest board. Similarly, the weakest part of people often decides his overall performance. That’s why it is generally believed the key to success lies on improving one’s weakness instead of developing his strongest points. However, Wang focused his strengths on robotics, kept trying and created new possibilities.
In fact, everyone has their own advantages. But how can you discover them? Let’s start by thinking about what you enjoy and what comes naturally to you. For example, if you love drawing, try joining an art club or taking a design course. Also, try new activities, and you might uncover some hidden talents. Maybe you’ve never tried programming before, but after a workshop, probably you will realize you have a gift for it. Finally, never stop learning; it opens doors to new interests and skills.
1.What does the underlined word wowed in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Worried. B.Excited. C.Scared. D.Encouraged.
2.What was difficult for Wang as a student?
A.Working out difficult problems. B.Studying robotics at university.
C.Shining on the stages at school. D.Getting good grades in English.
3.What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A.Boards’ length decides water. B.Wang’s story explains the theory.
C.Focusing on strengths matters. D.We should work on our weakness.
4.Which example best follows the advice in paragraph 4?
A.Alex joins a tennis course as a beginner. B.Olivia gives up dancing as it is difficult.
C.Bill enjoys chess yet questions his ability. D.Jay loves sharing his good ideas with others.
5.What is the best title for the text?
A.Strengths Open Doors B.The Development of Robotics
C.Success Comes at a Price D.The Effect of the Bucket Theory

(2025·广东广州·二模)Sarah and her best friend, Alex, loved exploring the forest near their neighborhood. One day, while they were exploring through the woods, Sarah stepped upon a shiny rock hidden under a pile of leaves. Excitedly, she said to Alex. “Look at what I found! It looks like a valuable diamond. Promise not to tell anyone! It’s just a secret between you and me.” Alex nodded, agreeing to keep it a secret.
Later that afternoon, Sarah and Alex met their friend, Emily, in the neighborhood. Unable to control her excitement, Alex told Emily about the treasure Sarah had found.

As the neighbors crowded around, Sarah’s mom came out to see what was happening. She gently told the neighbors that the rock they wanted to see was not as special as they thought. It was just a common rock Sarah had found in the forest. The neighbors were understanding and soon left with smiles on their faces.

(2025·广州执信中学·二模)“Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed what he cared. He just never expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’s coming. Many animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s home town. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam directly towards the land. It came in with the waves. When the waves receded, it stayed. Its huge body was on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the huge whale. They pushed and tried to force the whale back into the water, but it was no use. The whale was so heavy that they couldn’t move it.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the whale. Jake and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could do something.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shone the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times, they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to the sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water — a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save its life.
1.What does the beginning of the story tell us about Jake?
A.He didn’t like his neighbourhood.

(2025·广州第一中学·二模)Ken was going to play football in the park with his best friend John. When they were about to leave, Ken’s mum came back with a letter.
“Bad news,” she said. “The apartment managers want to build a fitness centre where the park is.” Ken’s heart dropped. The park wasn’t just their football field—it was also home to the ancient sandalwood trees. John complained, “They didn’t even ask us!”
Determined, the boys wrote a letter that evening. “We’ll explain how the park helps everyone!” Ken said, typing angrily. The next morning, they marched to the management office, hearts pounding.
The managers listened politely as they read their letter. “But more people will use a new fitness centre,” Ms. Brown, one of the managers said, her smile not reaching her eyes. Then she walked the boys out.
“They didn’t care at all!” Ken said as they walked towards the park. Then they stopped at the entrance.
A shiny new sign read: “Future Home of Fitness Centre.” Behind it, the grand sandalwood tree stood tall, its leaves rustling sadly in the wind. A wild idea came to Ken. “Let’s make the tree SPEAK!”
They raced home, grabbed cardboard and markers, and created a sign:
“I’m a Hawaiian sandalwood. I don’t grow anywhere else in the world. My family almost died out forever. Please save me!”
Hanging it on the tree, they stepped back. “Do you think anyone will notice?” John whispered.
The next afternoon, to their surprise, dozens of handmade signs were put on the trees in the park!
“I clean air for people daily!?” hung on a palm tree.
“My flowers make Hawaiian leis—symbols of love!” bloomed beside a bush.
Even the grass had a sign: “I stop floods by holding the soil!”
People in the community crowded around, discussing. Ms. Brown stared at a sign about heart medicine. “My grandma’s pills...could they come from plants?” she wondered aloud.
Days later, Ms. Brown invited the boys to her office, her strict face softened. “The voices of the trees are heard.” She said, “We decided to upgrade the old fitness centre and keep the park for outdoor yoga and t’ai chi.”
That evening, Ken and John played football under the sandalwood tree, its leaves now dancing happily. “Who knew trees could shout so loud?” John laughed.
“Sometimes,” Ken grinned, “you just need to listen.”

A.They were not asked for opinions.

(2025·广州第二中学·二模)An adventurer, Ernest Shackleton, placed an advertisement in a newspaper. He planned to cross the Antarctica (南极洲) from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. More than 5,000 men applied for the adventure. However, only 28 of them were chosen.
Shackleton’s ship, the Endurance, left England in August 1914. In December, the weather was very bad. In January 1915, the Endurance got stuck in ice. Unable to move, Shackleton and his men had to wait for 8 months in darkness and coldness. Finally spring came, but it brought disaster. As the ice melted, the ship broke in half. It finally sank in November 1915. Shackleton and his men tried to survive by floating on the ice. Finally the ice melted and Shackleton put his men into 3 small lifeboats and headed for the nearest land.
After 5 days at sea, they reached Elephant Island. The men were cold, hungry and weak. There was no chance of being saved in this far-away place. Shackleton decided to continue to South Georgia because he knew there was a whaling station (捕鲸站) there, where he could get help. However, it was a journey of 1,300km. Leaving the others on Elephant Island, Shackleton chose 5 men to go with him to South Georgia in a tiny lifeboat.
After 15 days with winds of 60km an hour and waves of up to 15m high, they arrived in South Georgia. The weather was so bad that they couldn’t land for 2 days. Even when they landed, their journey wasn’t over. The whaling station was 60km away on the other side of the mountainous island. No one had ever crossed South Georgia on foot before. The men kept walking for 36 hours. They had no tent and could not stop to rest for more than a few minutes—if they fell asleep they would die of the cold. Finally, they made it and reached the whaling station.
In August 1916, they returned to Elephant Island in a small boat provided by the Chilean (智利的) government. The other 23 men were still alive and then saved. He died in 1922 and was buried in South Georgia, honored as a man who showed unbelievable bravery in his life.
1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?

(2025·广东广州·二模)Wang Zizhong, a 78-year-old farmer from Ciyu Village in Shandong Province, has spent 42 years working to green the mountains and protect the forests, alongside his 55-year-old son, Wang Tao.
In 1983, Wang noticed the dry, lifeless hills to the north of his village. The land suffered from serious soil loss, making life hard for the villagers. In order to help, he left his job as a village teacher and asked the government for permission to plant trees there.
Together with his family, Wang moved into a stone cave on the mountain. His two young sons stayed in the cave while he and his wife worked day and night. They dug holes for seedlings (树苗) and carried water uphill for miles, as there were no roads. Each bucket of water could only feed a few trees, so they made countless trips every day. For over a month each season, they slept on simple beds, ate dry pancakes softened with river water, and seldom returned home.
In 1997, Wang Zizhong’s wife suddenly passed away from a heart attack while on the mountain because she was too tired. Heartbroken but strong, Wang continued the work alone.
Through rain, wind, and endless challenges, the family planted over 200,000 trees—cypress, locust, and poplar—across 133 hectares (公顷). The once-brown mountains turned into healthy forests and were named as a national protected area in 2002. Wang became its guardian, planting even more trees while keeping watch.
By 2017, age slowed him down, so he passed the duty to his son, Wang Tao. Having grown up alongside his father, Wang Tao gladly took over. Today, he walks the same paths, caring for the forest and honoring his father’s dream.
