Everyone laughed, even the little kids in the family. Then Mr. Smith came and showed us the right way. After work, we fed bananas to the monkeys. One monkey took a banana from Tom’s hand fast and climbed up the tree. Tom looked surprised, and we all laughed loudly. Before leaving, Mr. Smith told us a joke: “Why don’t fish play basketball? Because they are afraid of the net.” It was so silly, but we couldn’t stop laughing. I felt very happy that day. We both helped others and enjoyed ourselves a great deal. I want to be a volunteer again next month!

Climbing the Great Wall was challenging but exciting—the view from the top was breathtaking! We also tried Beijing duck, a famous local dish, which was delicious. What made this trip special was not just the sights but also what I learned. I realized how amazing ancient Chinese buildings are.

Let’s take a look! The Basket Building (USA):  What a big basket! This is the world’s largest Basket Building. The seven-floor office building looks exactly like a huge basket. It took two years to finish the building in 1997. It’s about 16,722 square meters in size. The most interesting part is that the people inside sell real baskets! Maybe their baskets sell very well! The Crooked House (Poland): This is a shopping center in Poland. It was built in 2004. It’s about 4,000 square meters in size. With its green roof, yellow walls, and colorful glass windows, it looks like a house from the fairy tale or a melting (融化的) ice-cream on a sunny day. It is one of Europe’s most unusual buildings and has attracted thousands of tourists to see its crazy shape every year. Dubai Frame (Dubai):  This building looks like a picture frame (框). The Dubai Frame stands 150 meters tall, and weighs 9,900 tons (吨). More than 15,000 square meters of gold-coloured stainless steel (不锈钢) covers Dubai Frame. There is a museum on the first floor.

B After running away from the land of small people, my ship was caught in a terrible storm and hit a rocky shore (岸). When I woke up, I found myself in a country where everything was so huge! The grass was as tall as forest trees, and ants were the size of dogs. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble --- a farmer, as tall as a mountain, walked up to me! To my surprise, he picked me up gently with two fingers and put me in his pocket. The farmer carried me to his house. His children shouted with excitement, thinking I was a living toy. The youngest boy tried to grab (抓住) me, but I quickly cried, “Please, kind sir!” The family were surprised. “It speaks!” said the farmer’s wife. From that day, they called me “Grildrig” (meaning “little doll”). The farmer’s daughter, Glumdalclitch, a kind girl of nine, became my protector. She made small clothes for me and taught me their language. One day, the farmer said, “Grildrig should make money!” He built a wooden stage (舞台) and took me to the market. People paid money to watch me perform. The farmer asked me to work so hard that I had almost no rest. Before long, the queen (女王) herself sent for me. At the palace (王宫), I ate from golden plates and slept on silk cushions (垫子). But I felt that danger was somewhere: a monkey once carried me to the rooftop (屋顶), and teacups almost drowned (淹死) me. I missed home but saw no way to run away. (Selected from Gulliver’s Travels) 48.What did Gulliver think of the country when he arrived there? A. It was very small and quiet. B.

D. The farmer was interested in making money. C In May, 2025, the Smithsonian’s National Museum returned the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts (子弹库帛书) to China. These texts, written on silk, are the oldest surviving (现存的) books in China and the only known manuscripts from the Warring States Period (475–221 BC) (战国时期). The manuscripts were found in 1942 in a tomb (坟墓) in Changsha, Hunan. However, they were stolen (偷) and taken to the US in 1946. Many people kept asking for their return because they knew how important they were to China. After many years of effort (努力), two parts of the manuscripts,Wuxing Ling (五行令) and Gongshou Zhan (攻守占) , finally returned home. The manuscripts are made up of three parts: The first part, Sishi Ling (四时令) describes what people should do during different seasons. The second part, Wuxing Ling includes a chart (图表) and text about the five elements (元素): wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. It tells people what they should or should not do each month. The third part, Gongshou Zhan is about war. It tells the best directions and the best time to fight. For years, experts studied these texts, uncovering their secrets. They show how ancient Chinese people understood nature, war, and time. Their return marks a big success in getting cultural heritage back and shows China’s growing ability to protect its history. The two returned parts will be shown at the National Museum of China in July 2025. China will also continue to bring back the final missing part, Sishi Ling. As experts say, “This success proves that a weak nation loses treasures; a strong one revives (复兴) culture.” 52. How long have Wuxing Ling and Gongshou Zhan been abroad before returning to China? A. 69 years. B. 79 years. C. 83 years. D. Over 2,000 years. 53. What can we learn from the passage? A. The manuscripts were kept in a museum before the year 1942. B. All three parts of the manuscripts have been returned to China. C. The return of cultural treasures shows China is getting stronger. D. Sishi Ling describes what people should or should not do each month. 54. How does the writer start this passage? A. By describing a recent event. B. By listing dates and numbers. C. By comparing past and present China. D. By telling a story about the Manuscripts. 55. What’s the best title of this passage? A. China Gets Back Its Oldest Silk Book B. Ancient Chinese Books Found in a Tomb C. How to Protect the Old Silk Manuscripts D. The History of Silk Manuscripts in China D ①You might see everything you see or hear on the Internet makes you more sure of what you already think. If this happens, be careful! You might be in something called an information cocoon (茧房) --- a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. ②This isn’t something new. Think about ancient times when people sat around a campfire. They only shared stories that their group believed and agreed with. Today, the Internet and social media are like our modern campfire. They connect people all over the world. But just like the old campfire, they also let people share and hear the ideas they already like. ③You might have noticed that social media ads (广告) seem to know what you like. This happens because of a computer program called algorithms (算法) . Algorithms are like sets of rules that help computers do things. Every time you click (点击) likes or share something, you leave a “digital footprint (数字脚印)”. This helps algorithms learn what you like. Then they show you more of the same kind of content (内容). ④Information cocoons can make you feel good, but they also have some bad results. ⑤When you only see similar opinions, it’s hard to accept different views. This can make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. ⑥Information cocoons can also lead to more arguments and worries among people. This often makes different groups in society disagree with or do not trust each other even more. ▲ ⑦The good news is that there are ways to break out of the information cocoon. One important thing is to look for different kinds of information. Also, it’s important to learn how to think critically (批判地). This means checking the facts and being open to changing your mind. ⑧By doing these things, you can break out of the information cocoon and see a wider world! 56. Why does the writer mention “algorithms” in Paragraph 3? A. To say algorithms should not be used on social media.  B. To talk about how algorithms can be bad for people. C. To tell the story of how algorithms were invented. D. To explain how social media ads show what you like. 57. Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A. But the internet can also be good. B. Some think algorithms are not safe to use. C. This is why we need to solve this problem. D. Many people like seeing the same things online. 58. What’s the best structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 59. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the information cocoon? A. Serious and angry. B. Worried but hopeful. C. Happy and encouraging. D. Scared but meaningful. Ⅴ.口语运用（每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面对话，从方框内7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话，并把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 A. What’s wrong? B. Thanks for your advice. C. You could share housework once a week to help out. D. What should I do? E.

I don’t want to do housework. A: 63 Your parents are also busy with their work. They are also tired. B: I see. You are right. Then, it can improve the relationship between me and my parents. A: What a smart boy! B: 64 A: No problem. Hope things work out. 第Ⅱ卷（共50分） Ⅵ. 任务型阅读。（第65-66小题，每小题2分，第67-68小题，每小题3分，共10分） 阅读下文并回答问题。 As the music began, a Sichuan Opera performer stepped onto the stage, walking, kicking and dancing to the music while quickly changing face masks. No one noticed anything unusual until the last mask was removed, and the audience realized that this performer was somewhat different. Yin Qiuhua, the 19-year-old performer, was born with Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). Her mother, Zhao Haiying, has been looking for treatment for her and teaching her life skills. Zhao said, “I can’t take care of her for her whole life. My biggest wish was to find a suitable skill for her so that she can make a living by herself.” They tried almost every training course. But Yin didn’t do well in any of them. Things began to change in 2021, when Zhao met Lin Chun, a traditional Chinese opera teacher. Lin agreed to take Yin as an apprentice (徒弟) and teach her the face-changing art of Sichuan Opera. Face-changing is hard for most people, and even harder for Yin with her learning challenges.

And the more you give, the more happiness you will get. Ready to start? Follow these tips. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver than the gift of money. We don’t have the same amount of money, but we all have time. We can give some of our time to help others — whether a few minutes each day, or a few days each year. Sometimes, the best way to help is to listen. If a friend is upset, let them talk without interrupting (打断), and say things like, “I’m here for you.” You can show your friendliness in this way and it can make your friend feel less lonely.  Ask your friends and family to join you. With more help, we can make bigger differences! “Always giving to others can make you feel exhausted (筋疲力尽的),” says expert Adam Grant. It’s great to help others, but don’t forget about yourself! Just like you need to recharge (充电) your phone to keep it working, you need to think about your own feelings, and what you need to keep helping others happily and healthily. Remember, you are important, too! Don’t wait to help others—start now! Look for one small act of kindness to do this week. You could hold the door for others or help a neighbor carry bags.
