So I decided to have a try myself. It look an egg from our fridge and went out right away. Then I broke it and poured it out on the side of the road. But it wasn't fried. It didn't even turn white around the edge(边). After seeing that, I went back, feeling upset(沮丧的).Why wasn't it fried? I turned to my father for help.

This day is known as a leap day, and the year with this extra day is a leap year. But what are leap years, why do we need them, and how did this idea start? A leap year has 366 days, one more than the usual 365. According to the Gregorian calendar, which most countries use today, a leap year happens every four years. This extra day is February 29, a date that doesn't exist(存在) in other years. Generally, any year that can be evenly divided by four is a leap year, like 2020 and 2024. However,there are special cases for certain century years, which end in double zeros, such as 1900. The term“leap” is used because from March in a leap year, each date moves forward by an extra day from the last year. For example, March 1 in 2027 will fall on a Monday, but in the following leap year 2028, it will be on a Wednesday, Other calendar systems, such as the Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese. and Ethiopian, also include leap years, but they don't happen every four years and don't always match up with the Gregorian leap years. Leap years are necessary to keep our calendar matching the Earth`s orbit(轨道) around the sun. The Earth takes about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds to go around the sun once-that's more than s calendar year. If we didn't add a day for this extra time, our calendar world slowly drift away(偏离) from the solar year. ▲ . For example, without leap years, after about 700 years, summer in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) would begin in December instead of June. 24. Which of the following years is a leap year? A.1900. B.1990 C.2014. D.2220. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 25. Why do we have leap years? A. To enjoy a unique holiday vacation every four years. B. To match the calendar with the Earth's trips around the sun. C. To allow February to have more days than other months. D. To follow ancient traditions from the Hebrew calendar. 26. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank ” ▲ ” in Paragraph 4. A. Leap years might include an extra month to balance the seasons. B. Over time, this would make the seasons start at different times. C. Without leap years, the time it takes for Earth move would change. D. Without the extra day, each season would start a day much earlier. 27. What can we know from the passage? A. Leap years are not included in some traditional calendar systems. B The Gregorian calendar is mainly used in most Western countries. C. Using leap years can lead to the change of the time when seasons start. D. It takes more than 365 days for the Earth to go around the sun once. C ①I have a question for all of us. Is all winning success? Winning is really, really fun. But I am here to share my idea: Winning does not always mean success. ②All around the world, we have created the win-at-all-cost culture. As a society, we honour the champion(冠军).We cheer for those people who win championships. Winning at all cost has become acceptable. We have become so focused on the and result instead of the process, and when it is a win, usually how we got there often gets little attention. ③We need to redefine(重新定义) success. Real success is developing champions in life for our world, win s or lose. We may be able to plan our way to a win, but we can't plan our way to success. ④Back to 1990, when I was first made the head coach of the UCLA Women’s Gymnastics Team, the best I could do was what other“successful” coaches had done. So, I became tough-talking and mean. I acted like a head coach whose only thought was to figure out how to win. ⑤After putting up with me for a few years, our team asked me for a team meeting. And for over two hours, they gave me examples of how my arrogance(傲慢) was hurtful. That was my time-out, and I chose to change. I found out that I needed to support our student players as whole human beings, not just players who won. ⑥It is so much easier to give orders than to actually figure out how to encourage someone to be better. And it takes a really long time to take root. The key was to develop trust through patience and honesty. Let's think about what - you are talking about with your parents on the car ride home. Are they focusing on the end result? Are you excited to use that tune to show you are a winner? All of you care too much about the end result instead of your steps of learning. We are all coaches in some ways. We all have the responsibility to develop champions in life for our world That is what real success looks like, and that is what we call a win-win. 28. The underlined word“it” in Paragraph 2 refers to (指代)“ ” A. the process B. the end result C. the champion D. real success 29. As the head coach, the writer chose to change because . A. other“successful” coaches asked her to do so B. she was trying so hard to figure out how to win C. she learned to care more about players than winning D. she learned she should only support players who wen 30. According to the writer, which of the following is read success in life? A. A kid who shows the medals and prizes he wen to his parents. B. A player who tries to win a gold medal at the cost of his health. C. A coach who respects his members even though the team didn't win. D. A parent who keeps asking about the grades his kid got in the exams. D New technology(技术) brings ancient people and culture back to life. Li Bai holds a cup in his hand, while Du Fu sits in front of a desk, writing poems on the paper in front of him. It's not that we have travelled to the past.Modern technology has brought them“back to life”. The two great poets, along with other human-like robots, were shown at the World Robot Conference 2023 in late August in Beijing. They looked similar to real human beings. A special performance called Yang BOT amazed audiences (观众) at the Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Snake in 2025. They were dressed in north-eastern Chinese style jackets and performed with dancers from an art college. The robots learned dance moves through AI and used laser navigation (激光导航) to move safely on the stage.This dance isn't just fun-it shows how technology can bring new life to tradition. These 16 robots were produced by a Chinese robotics company. It named these robots“Fuxi”. Because it sounds like a character in Chinese ancient tales, standing for the company’ s hope that technology will bring active change to life. Nowadays, human-like robots mostly work with humans, as tour guides or by helping visitors at front desk. As more human-like robots come out, safety should be the key, according to the Robot Report website. When a70-kilogram robot breaks down and falls, humans nearby may be hurt. 31.

Their lightweight design and fast movements. C. Their dance mixed tradition and technology. D. Their ability to speak foreign languages well. 33.

They need too much electricity to work. 四、阅读还原(每小题1分，共5分) Perhaps you are an average (平均) student with average intelligence (智力).

So parents can't work full days or need others to help pick up their children. To help out working parents, the Ministry of Education (教育部) wants primary and middle schools to close late to make time for working parents. Before parents pick up their children, there should be after- school activities in schools. Teachers can help students with their homework. Students can enjoy their hobbies in groups too. But students can't have lessons after school. In Nanjing, there are free after- school activities in all primary schools from 2017. In 2021, the schools change the time from 5:30 p. m. to 6:00 p. m. so that parents can pick up their kids. About 230,000 children in primary schools do such activities.
