It falls on the 5th day of the 5th month in the lunar calendar. This festival is celebrated to remember the famous poet Qu Yuan, who lived over 2,000 years ago. Qu Yuan loved his country deeply, but he was so sad about its problems that he jumped into a river. People raced their boats to save him and threw rice into the water to feed the fish so they wouldn’t eat his body. Today, people celebrate this festival by eating Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves), racing dragon boats, and hanging herbs (草药) like wormwood and calamus on their doors. These traditions not only honor (尊重) Qu Yuan but also protect families from bad luck and illnesses. In 2009, the Dragon Boat Festival was added to UNESCO’s (联合国教科文组织) World Intangible Cultural Heritage List, making it a treasure shared by people around the world. 16.

UNESCO’s role in protecting festivals. C. How to make Zongzi step by step. D. The history and traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival. B Last Friday night, I was very sad when I arrived home. My mother asked me what happened. I told her, “I was picked on (欺负) at school. A girl kept saying terrible things to me. It feels like she’s trying to break me.” My mother looked at me with her loving eyes and said, “Don’t worry. Do you know that you have two magic pockets (口袋)? One has a hole. The other doesn’t. When someone says something good, put it in the pocket without the hole and save it. When you go to bed, take it out and enjoy it.” “But how about the other pocket, mom?” I asked. She smiled at me and explained, “If somebody says something bad to you, put it in the pocket with a hole. Let it go out of your pocket quickly. Then it won’t hurt you anymore. The hole is for all the problems that you don’t want.” I didn’t really believe her, but I decided to give it a try and did what she said anyway. Slowly but surely, I started to change. I became different from before after that. In the past, I kept bad words or things in mind. I thought my life was full of sadness. But after my mother told me about the two pockets, I knew how to work out my problems. Now my classmates often say that I am more outgoing. Thanks to my mother’s wise advice, I’ve learned to let go of the hurt and embrace (拥抱) the good. 21. Why did the writer feel sad when she got home last Friday night? A. Because her pocket had a hole.

C Have you heard of DeepSeek recently? Have you ever used it? These days, many Chinese people use AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems—friendship troubles or work stress. They share their feelings with chatbots (聊天机器人) and get nice advice. This is called “AI therapy,” and it’s getting really popular online. But can chatbots really work well as human therapists (治疗专家)? In 2024, 45% of people around the world who needed mental health (心理健康) help couldn’t get it. Why? It was either too expensive or there weren’t enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an expert at the University of Oregon, thinks AI can help. He said, “If people can feel better and get good ideas by talking with chatbots, that’s great!” Li Yong, a doctor from Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people’s needs. But AI has problems. Human therapists can understand your feelings better when they talk to you face to face. They can make special plans for each person, but chatbots can’t do this very well. Also, AI isn’t always safe. Sometimes, AI acts like a therapist without proper training or rules. It’s not as responsible (负责任的) as real therapists. Experts say the government needs to make strict rules to keep AI therapy safe. For example, Wysa, an AI app for mental health in the UK, follows strict medical rules. As AI becomes common in our lives, we need to use it properly. AI can help quickly, but for serious problems, talking to real people is still the best. 26. How does the writer start the passage? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By telling a story. 27. What is “AI therapy”? A. Making friends with an AI chatbot. B. Using AI to share feelings and get advice. C. Learning something new and making good plans online. D. Buying something online with the help of AI. 28. What problem can chatbots solve according to Daniel Lowd? A. People don’t have enough time to relax. B. Many people need mental health care. C. People don’t have too many friends nowadays. D. People have no time to see a doctor. 29. What does the underlined word “this” in the passage refer to? A. Talk with people about their problems. B. Give people some advice. C. Make special plans for each person. D. Be responsible for what they say. 30. What does the passage want to tell us? A. AI is perfect and can work as human therapists. B. AI therapy is popular but has problems, and it should follow strict rules. C. People should use AI therapy for mental health. D. Only doctors can help with mental health problems. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 A pet is like a special friend, but many people discuss whether middle school students are ready for keeping one.

If your answer is “Yes”, why don’t you try some from Zigui, a county in the west of Hubei Province? The navel oranges there taste really nice. They are popular with people all over the country. Zigui County is famous as “the hometown of Chinese navel, oranges”. The farmers there started to plant orange trees more than 2,000 years ago. Now there are orange trees everywhere in the county. Planting orange trees needs much hard work. Years ago, the farmers in Zigui had to spend lots of time on their orange trees. They needed to do everything by themselves.

However, since the smart agriculture program (智慧农业项目) was carried out (实行) in Zigui in October 2019, everything has changed. Now the farmers there are living a much easier and more comfortable life. They can look after their farmland through smartphone apps. The meteorological (气象的) stations help them collect information about the weather and decide what to do under different weather conditions. After they harvest their navel oranges, they usually sell them on the Internet. In this way, their navel oranges can reach people all over the country. 46.
