Passage 1
[2025湖南长沙月考]—Cats!—Dogs!
These can be fighting words, depending on (取决于) who
you're talking to.
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. Dog
people like dogs better and think they are man's “best friend”, while cat people
like cats because of their elegance (优雅) and independence. Sometimes the
two group even argue with each other, trying to prove that their side is better.

Dogs seem to be winning the battle. A poll in 2018 showed that people in
the US like dogs more than cats. As much as 74 percent said they liked dogs “a
lot” but only 41 percent said the same thing about cats. The 2018 White Paper
on China's Pet Industry also showed that there are around 11 million more dog
owners than cat owners in Chinese cities.
However, cats seem to get more notice online. There are even some new
slang terms to refer to them. Cats are described as “masters” online, while the
dog owners are servants who clean their masters' faeces (粪便). Even those
who don't have pet cats are doing something called “cloud cat petting”, which
refers to viewing pictures and videos of cats online.
An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside

to play with their pets or their neighbours' dogs. But since cats are mainly
indoor animals, the internet has become a virtual (虚拟的) cat park for cat
owners.
But it doesn't really matter whether you like cats or dogs. Having a
connection (联系) with any animal can make us feel good.
【Passage 1·语篇导读】本文主要介绍了喜欢狗的人和喜欢猫的人的区别。

Passage 2
“Do you want to grow your own vegetables?” Mum asked. “Yes!” My eyes
got big. Mum smiled at me. She gave me a book on gardening, and I carefully
planted some seeds (种子) in the backyard.
After supper, I rushed to see how much they might grow. Nothing! My
mouth dropped. “Someone stole my seeds!” Mum laughed. She said, “Johnny, go
and check the book.” I read the book and I knew something needed to be done.
Early the next morning, I ran to the backyard. Everything looked the same
but I wasn't that disappointed (失望的). As the book said, I slowly watered
my seeds and put my finger in the soil (泥土) to make sure it wasn't too dry.

That evening, I couldn't help going to check my garden again. No sign of
anything green. Just dirt.
The next morning I raced to the garden again. No changes. “Why is it
taking so long for the seeds to grow?” I asked. “Grow up!” I shouted. “Please,
just grow,” I almost cried. Mum was too busy with her work to help. “Read the
book, and wait patiently.” So I read again. I removed (除去) the grass from
the soil and watered the seeds.
Then one morning, I walked out to my garden. I wasn't expecting to see
anything yet. To my surprise, a little bit of green came into my eyes.

little green leaves growing everywhere! I was so excited! “They finally grew!
The book is right. It took several days for the seeds to be in the soil before
popping up.”

Passage 3
新素材 机器人牙齿清洁器It will be fantastic if you don't have to use your
hand to brush your teeth. Someday, a robotic tooth cleaner might do it for you!
It is a kind of tooth cleaner with a lot of nanoparticles (纳米粒子).The
nanoparticles are very small balls. They can move in a person's mouth. Also, you
can change them into any shape you want. The nanoparticles can also kill
bacteria (细菌) just like toothpaste or mouthwash.
At the very beginning, Koo and Steager studied in different fields. Steager
built very small robots. Koo tried to find new ways to work out the problems
about teeth. Both of them were using the same nanoparticles but they didn't

know each other at first. One day, a friend of them learnt about both of their
ideas and he told them they should meet. They met each other in a quiet library
on a cold afternoon and they found that they could work together. Though
Steager worked with these nanoparticles, he never thought that they might be
useful in this way.“It was an amazing moment,” he said.
“We hope to see that the new way of cleaning teeth could help some ill
people who can't brush teeth easily,” Koo said.
The scientists have tested the robotic tooth cleaner in their own lab again
and again. But it isn't ready for people to use it yet. The robotic tooth cleaner

will need to practise more comfortably and safely inside a person's mouth. Koo
and Steager are working hard on it. If their hard work can make the tooth
cleaner better, a lot of sick people can brush their teeth easily and happily with
the help of the tooth cleaner.
