Have you seen the cute monster toy with big ears and sharp teeth? That’s Labubu! Created by a Chinese company Pop Mart, Labubu has become a worldwide favorite. This little monster isn’t just a toy — it’s a cultural superstar bringing joy to collectors everywhere.
Labubu belongs to Pop Mart’ s “Monster” family, with over 100 different characters. Each Labubu has two long ears and shows sharp teeth when smiling. Its unique look challenges normal ideas of beauty.

In Singapore, a special Labubu edition called “Merbubu” sold out in just one second! Fans in Spain even wrote a song exclusively for Labubu, while Paris shops display it everywhere. Some collectors in New York waited all night just to buy one.
Some Labubus become extremely valuable. In 2025, a rare mint-colored Labubu was sold at an art auction in Beijing for 1.08 million yuan (about $150,000), showing its value beyond just toys.
Pop Mart has been quite successful in its global development. Pop Mart’s founder Wang Ning dreams of building a “Chinese Disneyland”.

If you want to find out how big data is helping make the world a better place, there’s no better example than the uses being found for it in healthcare. Big data in healthcare is being used to treat ill people and to better people’s life. The trend now is to understand as much about a person as possible, as early in their life as possible, so that if the person gets ill, they can get early treatment which is far simpler and less expensive than if it had not been found until later.
So to take a look at big data in healthcare, let’s start at the beginning before we even get ill.
Smartphones are just the start. The apps on the smartphone can help us count how far we walk in a day, or help us plan what to eat for three meals. Millions of us are now using smartphones to try and live healthier lives. What’s more, a number of wearable devices such as Fitbit have also appeared. These devices can help us track our progress and upload our data alongside everyone else’s.
In the very near future, we could also be sharing this data with our doctors who will use it as part of their diagnostic Toolbox when we get ill and visit them. Even if there’s nothing wrong with our body, access to this data about the state of our health can help doctors monitor our health, to prevent possible illness, and to give us treatment as early as possible if we do get ill.
71.The use of big data in healthcare can help people ________.
A.know more about healthcare
B.make their home a better place
C.get easier access to treatment
D.find out illness as early as possible
72.It is known from Paragraph 3 that Fitbit is a device that ________.
A.costs less than the smartphone
B.is connected to the smartphone
C.can track a person’s daily meals
D.can collect and upload data
73.What could doctors do in the near future?
A.Use smartphones to see their patients.
B.Access their patients’ health data.
C.Stay at home.
D.Remote diagnosis and treatment.
74.For healthy people, sharing with their doctors the data about the state of their health is ________.
A.useful B.strange
C.popular D.difficult
75.This passage is mainly about how big data ________.
A.makes smart devices work
B.is used by doctors to treat illness
C.helps take care of people’s health
D.changes people’s understanding of health

Traveling is a wonderful way to broaden one’s horizons and experience different cultures. Whether you’re exploring bustling cities, tranquil countryside, or exotic beaches, each destination offers its own unique charm and opportunities for growth.
When planning a trip, it’s important to consider your budget, travel dates, and personal interests. Budget-conscious travelers may opt for more affordable destinations or seek out deals and discounts. On the other hand, those with more flexible finances may prefer luxury travel experiences, such as staying in five-star hotels or dining at exclusive restaurants.
In addition to cost, safety should also be a top priority when traveling. Researching the destination’s safety record and taking necessary precautions can help ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip. This includes staying aware of your surroundings, avoiding isolated areas, and keeping your valuables secure.
Moreover, traveling can be a great way to learn about new cultures and languages. Immersing yourself in a different environment can provide valuable insights and perspectives that you may not have encountered in your everyday life. Whether through interacting with locals, visiting museums and historical sites, or trying new foods, there are countless ways to immerse yourself in a new culture.
Lastly, traveling solo can be a rewarding experience in itself. It allows you to set your own pace, explore at your own leisure, and truly connect with yourself. However, solo travelers should still take care to stay safe and informed, especially in unfamiliar territories.
76.Traveling is a means to experience diverse cultures and broaden one’s horizons.
77.Budget-conscious travelers usually prefer five-star hotels and exclusive restaurants.
78.When traveling, safety is not as important as cost considerations.
79.Traveling alone can help people learn new languages more effectively.
80.The article provides advice for travelers to stay safe and informed while traveling.

请根据以下短文内容,回答短文后面的问题,答题回答词数不得超过10个单词。
The Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, a fast electric car, has become very popular in China since its launch on February 27, 2025. Priced at 529,900 yuan (about $73,000), it mixes luxury, speed, and smart technology, attracting both car fans and regular buyers.
The SU7 Ultra’s success comes from its amazing performance, smart marketing, and emotional stories. When it was released, the car broke sales records quickly. Over 6,900 orders were placed in the first 10 minutes, and 15,000 orders in 24 hours. By March 2, total orders had hit 19,000, much higher than Xiaomi’s yearly goal of 10,000 units. Its strong features also excited buyers. The car goes from 0 to 100km/h, in just 1.98 seconds and can reach 350km/h, beating expensive cars like the Porsche Taycan. Smart self-driving tools, including 12 cameras, 5 radars, and a laser radar, make it safer and easier to drive.
Even with long waiting times — over 7 months for some models — the car became even more wanted. Some buyers even sold their pre-ordered cars to make more money in second-hand markets.
Compared to cars like the Porsche Taycan (over 2 million yuan) and Tesla Model S, the SU7 Ultra offers similar or better features at a much lower price. This makes it popular with young people who want luxury without high costs.
To solve production problems, Xiaomi is building more factories and plans to release new cars, like the YU7 SUV, by mid-2025.
81.When did the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra come into market?
82.What contributes to the SU7 Ultra’s success?
83.What makes the SU7 Ultra safer and easier to drive?
84.Why did some buyers sell their pre-ordered cars?
85.How is Xiaomi solving production problems?

Dear Emily,
I’m happy to share with you some interesting facts about Chinese 91 (书法). This traditional art form uses special 92 (毛笔) and ink to create beautiful characters. When practicing, we must sit with proper 93 (姿势) and hold the brush correctly.
The most important thing is to control the 94 (力度) of your strokes. Beginners often start by 95 (临摹) famous works. It takes years of 96 (练习) to develop good skills. Many people find it helps improve their 97 (耐心) and focus.
We usually write meaningful 98 (词语) or poems. During festivals, people exchange calligraphy works as 99 (礼物). I hope you'll get a chance to 100 (尝试) this wonderful art someday!
Best regards,
Zhang Wei

阅读下面句子,从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21.During _____ Mid-Autumn Festival, it is a tradition to admire _____ full moon and share mooncakes with family.
A. the; the B. the; a C. a; the D. a; a
【答案】A
【详解】本题考查定冠词the的用法。“Mid-Autumn Festival”(中秋节)是专有节日名称,前面需加定冠词“the”。第二空后的“full moon”特指中秋节那一天又圆又亮的月亮,是双方都知道的特定事物,因此也需用“the”。
22.The serious air pollution is a threat to public _____ in many big cities.
A. health B. wealth C. environment D. safety
【答案】A
【详解】本题考查名词辨析。A. health(健康);B. wealth(财富);C. environment(环境);D. safety(安全)。句意是“严重的空气污染对许多大城市的公众_____构成威胁”。根据常识,空气污染最直接危害的是公众“健康”。
23. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Our manager will _____ this matter immediately.
A. look for B. look up C. look into D. look after
【答案】C
【详解】本题考查动词词组辨析。A. look for(寻找);B. look up(查阅,仰望);C. look into(调查);D. look after(照顾)。在顾客投诉的语境下,经理最合理的后续行动是“调查”此事,因此“look into”为正确答案。
24.A new law to restrict plastic waste _____ by the government last year.
A. passes B. passed C. was passed D. has passed
【答案】C
【详解】本题考查一般过去时态的被动语态。时间状语“last year”表明动作发生在过去。主语“A new law”是动词“pass”(通过)的承受者,而非执行者,故应用被动语态。因此,一般过去时的被动语态“was passed”是正确答案。
25._____ the Silk Road was long and dangerous, it promoted cultural exchange between East and West.
A. Because B. Unless C. Although D. If
【答案】C
【详解】本题考查状语从句的引导词。主句“它促进了东西方文化交流”是积极的结果,从句“丝绸之路漫长而危险”是存在的困难,前后是让步关系。因此,需要表示“虽然,尽管”的引导词“Although”。
26.Marie Curie is the great scientist _____ discovered the element radium.
A. which B. whom C. who D. whose
【答案】C
【详解】本题考查定语从句的关系代词。先行词是“the great scientist”(伟大的科学家),指人。关系词在定语从句中充当主语,因此需要用主格“who”。A项“which”指物;B项“whom”在从句中作宾语;D项“whose”表示所属关系。
27.The _____ of the Dragon Boat Festival is said to be in memory of the poet Qu Yuan.
A. origin B. benefit C. ingredient D. appointment

【详解】本题考查名词辨析。A. origin(起源,由来);B. benefit(益处);C. ingredient(成分,原料);D. appointment(预约,任命)。句意是“端午节的_____据说是为了纪念诗人屈原”,这里是在讲述节日的“起源”,故A项正确。
28.Many retired teachers _____ free tutoring services for children in the neighborhood.
A. put up B. set up C. give up D. take up

【详解】本题考查动词词组辨析。A. put up(搭建,张贴,忍受);B. set up(建立,设立);C. give up(放弃);D. take up(开始从事,占据)。宾语是“免费辅导服务”,最合适的搭配是“设立”这项服务,故B项正确。
29.Recycling is a method _____ can significantly reduce the amount of waste going to landfills.
A. what B. where C. why D. that
【答案】D
【详解】本题考查定语从句的关系代词。先行词是“a method”(一种方法),指物。关系词在定语从句中充当主语,因此需要用“that”或“which”。选项中只有“that”符合要求。
30.By making a list, you will avoid ________ back to the supermarket for something forgotten.
A.go B.to go C.going D.went
【答案】C
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:通过列一个清单,你将避免因为忘记某些东西而返回超市。固定短语avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”,根据“you will avoid”可知,空处应用动名词形式。故选C。

If you want to find out how big data is helping make the world a better place, there’s no better example than the uses being found for it in healthcare. Big data in healthcare is being used to treat ill people and to better people’s life. The trend now is to understand as much about a person as possible, as early in their life as possible, so that if the person gets ill, they can get early treatment which is far simpler and less expensive than if it had not been found until later.
So to take a look at big data in healthcare, let’s start at the beginning before we even get ill.
Smartphones are just the start. The apps on the smartphone can help us count how far we walk in a day, or help us plan what to eat for three meals. Millions of us are now using smartphones to try and live healthier lives. What’s more, a number of wearable devices such as Fitbit have also appeared. These devices can help us track our progress and upload our data alongside everyone else’s.
In the very near future, we could also be sharing this data with our doctors who will use it as part of their diagnostic Toolbox when we get ill and visit them. Even if there’s nothing wrong with our body, access to this data about the state of our health can help doctors monitor our health, to prevent possible illness, and to give us treatment as early as possible if we do get ill.
71.The use of big data in healthcare can help people ________.
A.know more about healthcare
B.make their home a better place
C.get easier access to treatment
D.find out illness as early as possible
72.It is known from Paragraph 3 that Fitbit is a device that ________.
A.costs less than the smartphone
B.is connected to the smartphone
C.can track a person’s daily meals
D.can collect and upload data
73.What could doctors do in the near future?
A.Use smartphones to see their patients.
B.Access their patients’ health data.
C.Stay at home.
D.Remote diagnosis and treatment.
74.For healthy people, sharing with their doctors the data about the state of their health is ________.
A.useful B.strange
C.popular D.difficult
75.This passage is mainly about how big data ________.
A.makes smart devices work
B.is used by doctors to treat illness
C.helps take care of people’s health
D.changes people’s understanding of health
【答案】71.D 72.D 73.B 74.A 75.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大数据在医疗健康领域的应用。
71.细节理解题。根据第一段中“The trend now is to understand as much about a person as possible, as early in their life as possible, so that if the person gets ill, they can get early treatment which is far simpler and less expensive than if it had not been found until later. (现在的趋势是尽可能多地了解一个人,在他们生命的早期,这样如果一个人生病了,他们就可以得到早期治疗,这比后来才发现要简单得多,也便宜得多。)”可知,大数据的核心价值在于早期预警和预防,而不仅仅是提供治疗便利或健康知识。故选D。
72.细节理解题。根据第三段中“a number of wearable devices such as Fitbit have also appeared. These devices can help us track our progress and upload our data (一些可穿戴设备如Fitbit也出现了。这些设备可以帮助我们跟踪我们的进度,并将我们的数据上传)”可知,Fitbit等设备可以帮助追踪进度并上传数据。故选D。
73.细节理解题。根据第四段中“In the very near future, we could also be sharing this data with our doctors (在不久的将来,我们也可以与我们的医生分享这些数据)”可知,在不久的将来,我们可以与医生分享医疗数据,即医生可获取患者健康数据。故选B。
74.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Even if there’s nothing wrong with our body, access to this data about the state of our health can help doctors monitor our health, to prevent possible illness, and to give us treatment as early as possible (即使我们的身体没有任何问题,获得这些关于我们健康状况的数据可以帮助医生监测我们的健康,预防可能的疾病,并尽早为我们提供治疗)”可知,即使健康人分享数据,也能帮助医生监测健康情况、进行疾病预防,由此可知,对于健康的人来说,与医生分享有关健康状况的数据是有用的。故选A。
75.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文围绕“大数据在医疗健康领域的应用”展开,说明大数据是如何从预防疾病、早期发现到治疗各阶段维护我们的健康,因此C项全面概括了文章主旨。故选C。

When planning a trip, it’s important to consider your budget, travel dates, and personal interests.

Over 6,900 orders were placed in the first 10 minutes, and 15,000 orders in 24 hours. By March 2, total orders had hit 19,000, much higher than Xiaomi’s yearly goal of 10,000 units.
