①Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be. It’s much better than I ever thought.
②The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me. The public transport system, especially in its big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, is great. The subway networks cover every part of the big cities. People can avoid the traffic jams and get to where they want to go much faster. High-speed trains that connect cities like Beijing and Shanghai in less than five hours are another example of China’s wonderful transportation system.
③Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability (可用性) of services. If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to have daily needs, electronics or even medicine, I just need to make a phone call or click on my phone a few times. Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket or the store. It is one of the key reasons I’ve stayed in China for so long—something I’ve never experienced in any other country.
④What’s more, China’s convenience doesn’t only lie in the speed of services, but also in their user- friendliness. The whole system is designed with user experience in mind. For example, the apps I use for transportation or deliveries are user-friendly, even for people who are not good at technology. Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct. It means you don’t need to spend time learning how to use the systems. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties.
⑤The convenience in China has made me more productive and relaxed. I’m sure that with technological progress and infrastructure (基础设施) development, life in China will become even more convenient in the future.
19. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The kinds of user-friendly apps.

C. People can get whatever they want online.
D. People can go anywhere by high-speed train.
21. What is the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
22. Which of the following is most likely to be the writer of this passage?
A. Yurina, an international student in Beijing for 4 years.

C. Amy, a foreigner who has had a one-week trip to China.
D. Fu Xing, a Chinese student who is proud of Chinese culture.

It’s getting hot. You have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut.
Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen which can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster.
If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap (使留存) heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet.
What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes.
Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more.
23. Where can we read this passage?
A. On a history book. B. On a fashion website. C. On a science magazine. D. On a sports newspaper.
24. How does hair help plants to grow?
A. It provides nitrogen. B. It breaks down soil. C. It takes in rainwater. D. It lets out a smell.
25. What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean?
A. B. C. D.
26. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Not for Wigs B. After the Haircut C. Hair for Fun D. The Styling of Hair

①Living in China has made me realize how convenient life can be. It’s much better than I ever thought.
②The moment I came to this country, a wave of pleasant surprise washed over me. The public transport system, especially in its big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, is great. The subway networks cover every part of the big cities. People can avoid the traffic jams and get to where they want to go much faster. High-speed trains that connect cities like Beijing and Shanghai in less than five hours are another example of China’s wonderful transportation system.
③Another great thing that stands out in China is the availability (可用性) of services. If my bike is broken and needs a repairman, or if I want to have daily needs, electronics or even medicine, I just need to make a phone call or click on my phone a few times. Since everything is available online, I no longer have to go far to the supermarket or the store. It is one of the key reasons I’ve stayed in China for so long—something I’ve never experienced in any other country.
④What’s more, China’s convenience doesn’t only lie in the speed of services, but also in their user- friendliness. The whole system is designed with user experience in mind. For example, the apps I use for transportation or deliveries are user-friendly, even for people who are not good at technology. Everything, including payment methods, is simple and direct. It means you don’t need to spend time learning how to use the systems. This makes it easy for everyone to get things done without difficulties.

It’s getting hot. You have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair’s journey is not over after the haircut.
Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it’s cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up? Not wigs (假发), but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen (氮) that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen which can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster.
If you’ve got a wool sweater on, you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap (使留存) heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot. And we use the hair to make warm clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet.
What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets. Because hair is made from bits of old cells, it has trace (微量) of chemicals that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemicals in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret—whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes.
Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows mysteries, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it’s not just for wigs any more.
23. Where can we read this passage?
A. On a history book. B. On a fashion website. C. On a science magazine. D. On a sports newspaper.
24. How does hair help plants to grow?
A. It provides nitrogen. B. It breaks down soil. C. It takes in rainwater. D. It lets out a smell.
25. What does the underlined part “shear the sheep” mean?
A. B. C. D.
26. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Not for Wigs B. After the Haircut C. Hair for Fun D. The Styling of Hair
【答案】23. C 24. A 25. C 26. B

【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Sheep grow fine curly fur called wool... Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don’t feel too hot.”可知,绵羊长有羊毛,夏天农民为了让羊不觉得太热,会对羊进行“shear”操作。结合常识及原文语境,“shear the sheep” 意思是“剪羊毛”。故选C。

【答案】例文
One Happy Thing in My Life
One of the happiest moments in my life was when my best friend surprised me on my birthday last year. I thought everyone had forgotten because no one mentioned it at school. But when I got home, I found my friend waiting outside my door with a small cake and handmade gifts.
This made me incredibly happy for two reasons. First, I realized how much my friend cared about me—they remembered the date when even I felt overlooked. Second, their effort to prepare everything secretly showed true friendship. That day taught me that happiness often comes from small, sincere gestures rather than grand things.
Even now, remembering that surprise fills me with warmth. It wasn’t just about the gifts; it was the feeling of being valued that made it special.
