Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop skills, and enrich your school life. Here are three popular clubs at our school for you to explore:
Environmental Protection Club
The Environmental Protection Club focuses on raising students’ awareness of environmental issues and organizing practical activities. Every month, we hold “Green Campus” campaigns, such as tree-planting on the school playground and waste-sorting competitions in classrooms. Last semester, we worked with the local community to clean up the nearby river, which was highly praised by the town government. Members also get the chance to attend environmental lectures given by university professors. Whether you’re interested in protecting wildlife or reducing plastic waste, this club is for you.
Drama Club
If you love acting, singing, or stage design, the Drama Club is the perfect choice. We put on two plays every school year — one in the fall and one in the spring. Last year, our performance of The Little Prince attracted over 300 audience members, including students, teachers, and parents. Club members take turns in different roles: some act as characters, some design costumes and sets, and others handle lighting and sound. Even if you have no prior experience, our experienced teachers will provide training sessions every Wednesday afternoon.
Robotics Club
For students who are curious about technology and engineering, the Robotics Club offers an exciting platform. We learn to build and program robots using simple kits. Every year, we take part in the provincial high school robotics competition. Last year, our team won the third prize for designing a robot that could help with household chores like sweeping the floor. The club meets every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the science lab. You don’t need to be good at math or science — just bring your enthusiasm!

For years, teenagers decorated their rooms with store-bought posters, plush toys, or mass-produced shelves. But recently, a new trend called “upcycled decor” has become popular among teens worldwide — they’re taking old, unused objects and transforming them into unique, personalized room items, then sharing their work on social media.
Upcycling is different from recycling. Recycling breaks down materials (like plastic bottles or paper) to create new products, but upcycling keeps the original item and gives it a new purpose or a fresh look. Take 16-year-old Mia from Canada, for example. She had a broken vinyl record player that her dad no longer used. Instead of throwing it away, she cleaned the wooden case, painted it with soft blue paint, and added small LED lights inside. Now it’s a nightlight on her bedside table. “I love that it’s not something everyone has,” Mia said. “It reminds me of my dad’s old music, too.”
Another popular upcycled item is old denim jackets. 17-year-old Leo from Australia took his mom’s worn-out denim jacket, added patches of his favorite band logos, and sewed on a few small pockets for his phone and headphones. “Store-bought jackets are all the same style,” Leo explained. “This one feels like me. My friends asked me to make one for them, so I started doing it as a small hobby — no money, just for fun.”
Teens often share their upcycling projects on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. They post before-and-after photos, step-by-step videos, and tips for beginners. “I follow a lot of upcycling accounts,” said 15-year-old Lila from the UK. “Last month, I saw someone turn an old suitcase into a bookshelf. I tried it with a suitcase my grandma gave me — it took a few hours, but now it’s my favorite piece of furniture. It’s cheap and fun, and I don’t feel like I’m wasting things.”
Why is upcycled decor so popular? First, it’s affordable. Most teens don’t have a lot of money to spend on expensive decor, so using old items saves them cash. Second, it lets them be creative. They can choose colors, designs, and purposes that match their personality. “My room used to look like every other teen’s room,” Mia said. “Now it has things that tell my story. That’s what makes it special.”
4. What is the main difference between upcycling and recycling according to the passage?
A. Upcycling uses new materials, while recycling uses old materials.
B. Upcycling keeps the original item and gives it a new use or look, while recycling breaks down materials to make new products.
C. Upcycling is only popular among teens, while recycling is popular among people of all ages.
D. Upcycling is more expensive than recycling.
5. What did Mia do to the broken vinyl record player?
A. She threw it away because it was broken.
B. She gave it to her dad as a gift.
C. She cleaned the wooden case, painted it soft blue, and added small LED lights inside to make it a nightlight.
D. She sold it on social media.
6. Why did Leo make upcycled denim jackets for his friends?
A. To make a lot of money.
B. Just for fun, as a small hobby.
C. Because his friends forced him to do so.
D. To help his mom sell old clothes.
7. Which social media platforms do teens often use to share their upcycling projects?
A. Facebook and Twitter.
B. TikTok and Instagram.
C. WeChat and QQ.
D. YouTube and Snapchat.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. B

In the modern world, scientific research is constantly producing new findings that have the potential to transform our lives. From medical breakthroughs to technological advancements, these results offer great promise. However, as we rush to apply them, we must also consider the potential drawbacks.
On one hand, the application of scientific research results brings numerous benefits. In the medical field, new drugs and treatment methods developed through research have saved countless lives. For example, the continuous research on cancer has led to the development of targeted therapies. These drugs can specifically attack cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues, greatly improving the survival rate and quality of life for cancer patients. In technology, the application of research in artificial intelligence has revolutionized many industries. Self-driving cars, developed based on AI research, have the potential to reduce traffic accidents caused by human error and provide more convenient transportation for people, especially those who are unable to drive.
On the other hand, applying scientific research results also has its risks. Some applications might have unforeseen consequences. Take genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as an example. While GMOs can increase crop yields and help feed a growing global population, there are concerns about their long-term effects on the environment and human health. Some studies suggest that GMO crops could potentially harm beneficial insects or lead to the development of resistant pests. In addition, the application of certain technologies can raise ethical issues. The development of gene-editing technology like CRISPR has opened up new possibilities for treating genetic diseases. However, it also raises questions about “designer babies,” where parents could potentially select certain genetic traits for their children, which challenges our traditional views on the naturalness of human genetics.
In conclusion, while the application of scientific research results holds great potential for progress, we cannot ignore the potential risks and negative impacts. It is crucial that scientists, policymakers, and the public work together. Scientists should conduct thorough research to understand all aspects of their findings before application. Policymakers need to establish appropriate regulations to ensure that applications are safe and ethical. The public should also be well-informed so that they can make educated decisions and voice their opinions. Only in this way can we fully enjoy the benefits of scientific research while minimizing its potential downsides.

A recent research has focused on the often — overlooked connection between sleep quality and learning efficiency among students. Conducted by a team of psychologists and neuroscientists, this study aimed to determine how different levels of sleep quality affect a student’s ability to absorb and retain new knowledge.
The research involved a group of 200 high-school students from various schools. For a period of two weeks, these students were asked to keep detailed sleep diaries, recording the time they went to bed, woke up, and any disruptions during the night. At the same time, their academic performance in different subjects, including math, history, and language, was closely monitored. In addition, the researchers used advanced brain-imaging techniques to observe the students’ brain activities during sleep.
The results of the study were quite revealing. It was found that students who consistently had high - quality sleep, characterized by falling asleep quickly, experiencing few awakenings during the night, and having a sufficient amount of deep sleep, performed significantly better in their studies. On average, these students scored 1-20% higher on tests compared to those with poor sleep quality. Brain-imaging data showed that during deep sleep, the brain was actively processing and consolidating new information learned during the day. Neurons in the brain were firing in patterns that suggested the formation of new neural connections related to the learned material.
On the contrary, students with poor sleep quality faced difficulties in concentrating during class. They had a harder time grasping new concepts and often forgot what they had learned more quickly. The brain-imaging of these students showed reduced activity in areas associated with memory and learning during sleep. This indicated that the lack of proper sleep hindered the normal process of information storage and retrieval in the brain.
The implications of this research are significant for both students and educators. Students should be made aware of the importance of sleep for their academic success. Establishing regular sleep schedules, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine before bedtime can all contribute to better sleep quality. Educators, on the other hand, can design teaching methods that take into account the students’ sleep-related learning capabilities. For example, scheduling more challenging lessons during the time of the day when students are most alert, which is often after a good night’s sleep.
12. What was the main purpose of the research?
A. To study the sleeping habits of high-school students.
B. To find out the relationship between sleep quality and learning efficiency.
C. To observe the brain activities of students during sleep.
D. To improve the academic performance of high - school students.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. They only analyzed the students’ sleep diaries.
B. They monitored the students’ academic performance and used brain - imaging techniques.
C. They only observed the students’ brain activities during sleep.
D. They interviewed the students about their sleep quality.
14. What did the research find about students with high-quality sleep?
A. They had more awakenings during the night.
B. They scored lower on tests compared to those with poor sleep quality.
C. Their brains actively processed and consolidated new information during deep sleep.
D. They had reduced activity in areas associated with memory and learning during sleep.
15. What can students do to improve their sleep quality according to the passage?
A. Drink more coffee before bedtime.
B. Go to bed at different times every day.
C. Create a noisy sleep environment.
D. Establish regular sleep schedules.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D

As the end of the semester approaches, final exams become a top priority for high school students. Many students feel stressed because they don’t know how to plan their review time properly. However, with the right strategies, you can make your review more efficient and reduce anxiety. Here are some practical tips to help you get ready for your final exams. ____16____
____17____ Before you start reviewing, list all your exam subjects and the topics you need to cover for each one. This way, you won’t feel overwhelmed by the amount of work, and you can track your progress easily. Many students spend hours memorizing formulas, dates, or definitions without really understanding them. ____18____ When you understand the logic behind a concept, you’ll remember it longer and be able to apply it to different types of questions in the exam. If you’re confused about a topic, don’t hesitate to ask your teachers or classmates for help.
Another key tip is to use active review methods. Passively reading textbooks or notes is not an effective way to review. ____19____ One useful method is to make flashcards for key points — write a question on one side and the answer on the other, then test yourself regularly. Explaining a concept in your own words can help you identify gaps in your understanding. You can also do practice tests to simulate the exam environment and get used to the types of questions you might encounter.
Additionally, take care of your physical and mental health, as a healthy body and mind are essential for effective learning. Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night, as lack of sleep can affect your concentration and memory. ____20____ Take short breaks every 45-60 minutes while studying — you can stretch, walk around, or listen to some light music to relax. Also, don’t forget to do some exercise, like jogging or yoga, to reduce stress and boost your energy levels.
By following these tips, you can make your final exam preparation more efficient and less stressful. Remember that consistent effort is the key to success. Good luck with your exams!
A. This approach often leads to forgetting the material quickly.
B. You should also avoid comparing your progress with others.
C. Break down your review tasks into small, manageable parts.
D. Active learning helps you engage more with the material and retain it better.
E. Without proper rest and nutrition, you’ll find it hard to focus on studying.
F. It’s important to start reviewing early instead of waiting until the last minute.
G. Another method is to teach the material to someone else, like a family member or friend.

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a cold winter evening. Jack, a homeless man, was wandering the streets, trying to find a warm place to spend the night. He had an old, worn-out coat that did little to protect him from the biting wind. As he walked along the sidewalk, he noticed a small light coming from a house at the end of the block. The house looked cozy, with smoke coming out of the chimney, and Jack thought maybe someone there could spare a little kindness.
He hesitated for a moment, then made his way towards the house. When he got to the front door, he raised his hand to knock, but his hand trembled with cold and nervousness. Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened. A little girl, about eight years old, stood in the doorway. She had big, curious eyes and a warm smile on her face.
“Hello,” she said. “Are you okay? You look cold.”
Jack was taken aback by her friendliness. “I’m just... I’m just looking for a warm place,” he stammered.
The little girl looked at him for a moment, then turned and called into the house, “Mommy, there’s a man outside who’s cold!”
A kind-looking woman came to the door. She looked at Jack with a mixture of surprise and sympathy. “Come in, please. It’s cold out there,” she said.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Jack was a bit shocked. He had expected to be turned away. He hesitated for a moment before stepping into the warm house. The woman, Mrs. Smith, led him to the living room and gave him a cup of hot tea. The little girl, Lily, brought him a blanket and smiled, “This will keep you warm.” Jack held the hot tea, feeling the warmth spread through his body. He started to talk about his life—how he lost his job and became homeless, wandering from place to place.
Mrs. Smith listened attentively, her heart going out to him. After Jack finished speaking, she said softly, “You don’t have to sleep on the street tonight. We have a spare room upstairs.” She also told Jack that a local restaurant was hiring, and she could help him apply. The next morning, Mrs. Smith helped Jack prepare his resume. With her help, Jack got the job soon. He never forgot the kindness of the Smiths, who gave him not only warmth but also a new chance at life.

Joining a club is a great way to make friends, develop skills, and enrich your school life. Here are three popular clubs at our school for you to explore:
Environmental Protection Club
The Environmental Protection Club focuses on raising students’ awareness of environmental issues and organizing practical activities. Every month, we hold “Green Campus” campaigns, such as tree-planting on the school playground and waste-sorting competitions in classrooms. Last semester, we worked with the local community to clean up the nearby river, which was highly praised by the town government. Members also get the chance to attend environmental lectures given by university professors. Whether you’re interested in protecting wildlife or reducing plastic waste, this club is for you.
Drama Club
If you love acting, singing, or stage design, the Drama Club is the perfect choice. We put on two plays every school year — one in the fall and one in the spring. Last year, our performance of The Little Prince attracted over 300 audience members, including students, teachers, and parents. Club members take turns in different roles: some act as characters, some design costumes and sets, and others handle lighting and sound. Even if you have no prior experience, our experienced teachers will provide training sessions every Wednesday afternoon.
Robotics Club
For students who are curious about technology and engineering, the Robotics Club offers an exciting platform. We learn to build and program robots using simple kits. Every year, we take part in the provincial high school robotics competition. Last year, our team won the third prize for designing a robot that could help with household chores like sweeping the floor. The club meets every Tuesday and Thursday after school in the science lab. You don’t need to be good at math or science — just bring your enthusiasm!

For years, teenagers decorated their rooms with store-bought posters, plush toys, or mass-produced shelves. But recently, a new trend called “upcycled decor” has become popular among teens worldwide — they’re taking old, unused objects and transforming them into unique, personalized room items, then sharing their work on social media.
Upcycling is different from recycling. Recycling breaks down materials (like plastic bottles or paper) to create new products, but upcycling keeps the original item and gives it a new purpose or a fresh look. Take 16-year-old Mia from Canada, for example. She had a broken vinyl record player that her dad no longer used. Instead of throwing it away, she cleaned the wooden case, painted it with soft blue paint, and added small LED lights inside. Now it’s a nightlight on her bedside table. “I love that it’s not something everyone has,” Mia said. “It reminds me of my dad’s old music, too.”
Another popular upcycled item is old denim jackets. 17-year-old Leo from Australia took his mom’s worn-out denim jacket, added patches of his favorite band logos, and sewed on a few small pockets for his phone and headphones. “Store-bought jackets are all the same style,” Leo explained. “This one feels like me. My friends asked me to make one for them, so I started doing it as a small hobby — no money, just for fun.”
Teens often share their upcycling projects on platforms like TikTok and Instagram. They post before-and-after photos, step-by-step videos, and tips for beginners. “I follow a lot of upcycling accounts,” said 15-year-old Lila from the UK. “Last month, I saw someone turn an old suitcase into a bookshelf. I tried it with a suitcase my grandma gave me — it took a few hours, but now it’s my favorite piece of furniture. It’s cheap and fun, and I don’t feel like I’m wasting things.”
Why is upcycled decor so popular? First, it’s affordable. Most teens don’t have a lot of money to spend on expensive decor, so using old items saves them cash. Second, it lets them be creative. They can choose colors, designs, and purposes that match their personality. “My room used to look like every other teen’s room,” Mia said. “Now it has things that tell my story. That’s what makes it special.”
4. What is the main difference between upcycling and recycling according to the passage?
A. Upcycling uses new materials, while recycling uses old materials.
B. Upcycling keeps the original item and gives it a new use or look, while recycling breaks down materials to make new products.
C. Upcycling is only popular among teens, while recycling is popular among people of all ages.
D. Upcycling is more expensive than recycling.
5. What did Mia do to the broken vinyl record player?
A. She threw it away because it was broken.
B. She gave it to her dad as a gift.
C. She cleaned the wooden case, painted it soft blue, and added small LED lights inside to make it a nightlight.
D. She sold it on social media.
6 Why did Leo make upcycled denim jackets for his friends?
A. To make a lot of money.
B. Just for fun, as a small hobby.
C. Because his friends forced him to do so.
D. To help his mom sell old clothes.
7. Which social media platforms do teens often use to share their upcycling projects?
A. Facebook and Twitter.
B. TikTok and Instagram.
C WeChat and QQ.
D. YouTube and Snapchat.
C
In the modern world, scientific research is constantly producing new findings that have the potential to transform our lives. From medical breakthroughs to technological advancements, these results offer great promise. However, as we rush to apply them, we must also consider the potential drawbacks.
On one hand, the application of scientific research results brings numerous benefits. In the medical field, new drugs and treatment methods developed through research have saved countless lives. For example, the continuous research on cancer has led to the development of targeted therapies. These drugs can specifically attack cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues, greatly improving the survival rate and quality of life for cancer patients. In technology, the application of research in artificial intelligence has revolutionized many industries. Self-driving cars, developed based on AI research, have the potential to reduce traffic accidents caused by human error and provide more convenient transportation for people, especially those who are unable to drive.
On the other hand, applying scientific research results also has its risks. Some applications might have unforeseen consequences. Take genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as an example. While GMOs can increase crop yields and help feed a growing global population, there are concerns about their long-term effects on the environment and human health. Some studies suggest that GMO crops could potentially harm beneficial insects or lead to the development of resistant pests. In addition, the application of certain technologies can raise ethical issues. The development of gene-editing technology like CRISPR has opened up new possibilities for treating genetic diseases. However, it also raises questions about “designer babies,” where parents could potentially select certain genetic traits for their children, which challenges our traditional views on the naturalness of human genetics.
In conclusion, while the application of scientific research results holds great potential for progress, we cannot ignore the potential risks and negative impacts. It is crucial that scientists, policymakers, and the public work together. Scientists should conduct thorough research to understand all aspects of their findings before application. Policymakers need to establish appropriate regulations to ensure that applications are safe and ethical. The public should also be well-informed so that they can make educated decisions and voice their opinions. Only in this way can we fully enjoy the benefits of scientific research while minimizing its potential downsides.
8. Which of the following is an example of the benefits of applying scientific research results?

A recent research has focused on the often — overlooked connection between sleep quality and learning efficiency among students. Conducted by a team of psychologists and neuroscientists, this study aimed to determine how different levels of sleep quality affect a student’s ability to absorb and retain new knowledge.
The research involved a group of 200 high-school students from various schools. For a period of two weeks, these students were asked to keep detailed sleep diaries, recording the time they went to bed, woke up, and any disruptions during the night. At the same time, their academic performance in different subjects, including math, history, and language, was closely monitored. In addition, the researchers used advanced brain-imaging techniques to observe the students’ brain activities during sleep.
The results of the study were quite revealing. It was found that students who consistently had high - quality sleep, characterized by falling asleep quickly, experiencing few awakenings during the night, and having a sufficient amount of deep sleep, performed significantly better in their studies. On average, these students scored 1-20% higher on tests compared to those with poor sleep quality. Brain-imaging data showed that during deep sleep, the brain was actively processing and consolidating new information learned during the day. Neurons in the brain were firing in patterns that suggested the formation of new neural connections related to the learned material.
On the contrary, students with poor sleep quality faced difficulties in concentrating during class. They had a harder time grasping new concepts and often forgot what they had learned more quickly. The brain-imaging of these students showed reduced activity in areas associated with memory and learning during sleep. This indicated that the lack of proper sleep hindered the normal process of information storage and retrieval in the brain.
The implications of this research are significant for both students and educators. Students should be made aware of the importance of sleep for their academic success. Establishing regular sleep schedules, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine before bedtime can all contribute to better sleep quality. Educators, on the other hand, can design teaching methods that take into account the students’ sleep-related learning capabilities. For example, scheduling more challenging lessons during the time of the day when students are most alert, which is often after a good night’s sleep.
12. What was the main purpose of the research?
A. To study the sleeping habits of high-school students.
B. To find out the relationship between sleep quality and learning efficiency.
C. To observe the brain activities of students during sleep.
D. To improve the academic performance of high - school students.
13. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. They only analyzed the students’ sleep diaries.
B. They monitored the students’ academic performance and used brain - imaging techniques.
C. They only observed the students’ brain activities during sleep.
D. They interviewed the students about their sleep quality.
14. What did the research find about students with high-quality sleep?
A. They had more awakenings during the night.
B. They scored lower on tests compared to those with poor sleep quality.
C. Their brains actively processed and consolidated new information during deep sleep.
D. They had reduced activity in areas associated with memory and learning during sleep.
15. What can students do to improve their sleep quality according to the passage?
A. Drink more coffee before bedtime.
B. Go to bed at different times every day.
C. Create a noisy sleep environment.
D. Establish regular sleep schedules.

As the end of the semester approaches, final exams become a top priority for high school students. Many students feel stressed because they don’t know how to plan their review time properly. However, with the right strategies, you can make your review more efficient and reduce anxiety. Here are some practical tips to help you get ready for your final exams. ____16____
____17____ Before you start reviewing, list all your exam subjects and the topics you need to cover for each one. This way, you won’t feel overwhelmed by the amount of work, and you can track your progress easily. Many students spend hours memorizing formulas, dates, or definitions without really understanding them. ____18____ When you understand the logic behind a concept, you’ll remember it longer and be able to apply it to different types of questions in the exam. If you’re confused about a topic, don’t hesitate to ask your teachers or classmates for help.
Another key tip is to use active review methods. Passively reading textbooks or notes is not an effective way to review. ____19____ One useful method is to make flashcards for key points — write a question on one side and the answer on the other, then test yourself regularly. Explaining a concept in your own words can help you identify gaps in your understanding. You can also do practice tests to simulate the exam environment and get used to the types of questions you might encounter.
Additionally, take care of your physical and mental health, as a healthy body and mind are essential for effective learning. Try to get 7-8 hours of sleep every night, as lack of sleep can affect your concentration and memory. ____20____ Take short breaks every 45-60 minutes while studying — you can stretch, walk around, or listen to some light music to relax. Also, don’t forget to do some exercise, like jogging or yoga, to reduce stress and boost your energy levels.
By following these tips, you can make your final exam preparation more efficient and less stressful. Remember that consistent effort is the key to success. Good luck with your exams!
A. This approach often leads to forgetting the material quickly.
B. You should also avoid comparing your progress with others.
C. Break down your review tasks into small, manageable parts.
D. Active learning helps you engage more with the material and retain it better.
E. Without proper rest and nutrition, you’ll find it hard to focus on studying.
F. It’s important to start reviewing early instead of waiting until the last minute.
G. Another method is to teach the material to someone else, like a family member or friend.

It was a cold winter evening. Jack, a homeless man, was wandering the streets, trying to find a warm place to spend the night. He had an old, worn-out coat that did little to protect him from the biting wind. As he walked along the sidewalk, he noticed a small light coming from a house at the end of the block. The house looked cozy, with smoke coming out of the chimney, and Jack thought maybe someone there could spare a little kindness.
He hesitated for a moment, then made his way towards the house. When he got to the front door, he raised his hand to knock, but his hand trembled with cold and nervousness. Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened. A little girl, about eight years old, stood in the doorway. She had big, curious eyes and a warm smile on her face.
“Hello,” she said. “Are you okay? You look cold.”
Jack was taken aback by her friendliness. “I’m just... I’m just looking for a warm place,” he stammered.
The little girl looked at him for a moment, then turned and called into the house, “Mommy, there’s a man outside who’s cold!”
A kind-looking woman came to the door. She looked at Jack with a mixture of surprise and sympathy. “Come in, please. It’s cold out there,” she said.
