To make the list, we considered how age-appropriate the material was, and whether the tone and story line left the reader feeling engaged and empowered rather than anxious or confused. Experts recommend the youngest kids to read books that explore the beauty and fragility (脆弱) of nature. When developing an appreciation for the world around them, they can turn to books that show the cause and effect of how humans treat our planet, and why it’s important to respect the environment. For older primary school kids, picture books can illustrate how our use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming. Most of the books on the list also offer lessons about how children, families, schools, and communities can make a difference. THANK YOU, EARTH: A LOVE LETTER TO OUR PLANET By April Pulley Sayre This photography book shows to us plants, animals and landscapes in vivid colors and descriptions. From up-close images of insects to pictures of mountain ranges, the pages introduce children to the planets’ diversity in a simple but effective way. THE LORAX By Dr. Seuss Thanks to its rhyme, and whimsical (异想天开的) illustration, this classic tale is suitable for young children who can grasp the scarcity of natural resources, and also older kids who can see a danger in valuing profits over long-term environmental harm. WE ARE WATER PROTECTORS By Carole Lindstrom A tribute to native tribes that are protecting the planet, this book vividly shows the harms of oil pipelines. Kids will see the value of community action, while adults will recognize the story of the native tribes Standing Rock Siou’s fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline. POLAR BEAR, WHY IS YOUR WORLD MELTING? By Robert E. Wells This book introduces the greenhouse effect with illustrations showing how sunlight gets trapped. It then explains fossil-fuel energy, and our reliance on it for electricity and transportation. The pages are full of science. 36. Why did TIME and TIME for Kids select the books mentioned in the passage? A. They all use complex scientific terms to explain climate change in detail, for older primary students. B. They strike a balance between suitability and the tone, rather than bringing about anxiety. C. They are all classic works that have won awards on the environment. D. They mainly focus on the harms of fossil fuels to help kids reject energy consumption. 37. Which of the following statements about the recommended books is true? A. The Lorax is more suitable for young kids than older ones because of rhymes and whimsical picture. B. Polar Bear, Why Is Your World Melting? emphasizes fossil fuels’ role in climate change. C. We Are Water Protectors aims to let kids understand the science behind oil pipeline harms. D. Thank You, Earth helps kids develop environmental respect by showing nature’s diversity. 38. According to the passage, what is the common feature of most recommended books? A. They all use photography to present environmental issues in a vivid way. B. They provide insights into how individuals or communities can make a difference. C. They connect climate topics to real historical events that kids can recognize. D. They focus on explaining the greenhouse effect and carbon cycle to primary students. B When 36-year-old Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby — skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realized that was the least of his problems. Duran’s problems began even before he stepped on a skateboard. He couldn’t find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was the belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz — a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others could have representation as well. To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sports, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners. After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboard brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and been offered free equipment by skating organizations like Skate Like a Girl. Though encouraged. Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to get rid of body image stereotypes (刻板印象). “I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strength and sizes. Everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available,” he explains. For those hesitant about taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say: “Be kind to yourself. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t be it.” 39. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The skateboard. B. His hobby. C. His ability. D. The time. 40. Which of the following is the main reason for Duran founding Chub Rollz? A. He couldn’t find suitable skateboarding clothes and boards for fat skaters. B. He wanted to encourage more people to take up skateboarding as a hobby. C. He hoped to attract media attention to report his story. D. He aimed to challenge the idea that plus-size people shouldn’t skate and give them a sense of belonging. 41. Which word can best describe Duran? A. Generous and helpful. B. Inspiring and creative. C. Adaptable and easy-going. D. Talented and considerate. 42. Which is most likely Duran’s belief? A. Everyone has a gift for sports. B. No one is too fat to enjoy sports. C Fat people do deserve social concern. D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people. C When it comes to achieving success, some believe that there is a magic number for greatness, a ten-year or 10,000-hour rule, which suggests that practising any skill for 10,000 hours is enough to make you an expert. In his 2008 book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell wrote that “ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness”. Many professionals and experts did acquire their exceptional skill through persistent practices. But detailed analyses of the case studies of experts often suggest that certain situational factors beyond the control of these exceptional performers also play an important role. For example, three national champions in table tennis came from the same street in a small suburb of one town in England. This wasn’t a coincidence. It turns out that a famous table tennis coach, Peter Charters, happened to retire in this particular suburb. Many kids who lived on the same street as the retired coach were attracted to this sport because of him and three of them, after following the “10,000-hour rule”, performed exceptionally well, including winning the national championship. Their talent and efforts were, of course, very important. But without their early luck (having a reliable, high-quality coach and supportive families), simply practicing 10,000 hours without enough feedback wouldn’t likely lead a child to become a national champion. We could also imagine a child with superior talent in table tennis suffering from early bad luck. Then they might never have a chance to realise their potential. It seems that the more exceptional a performance is, the fewer meaningful, applicable lessons we can actually learn from the “winner”. When it comes to moderate performance, it seems much more likely that our intuition about success is correct. Traditional wisdom, such as “the harder I work the luckier I get” or “chance favours the prepared mind”, makes perfect sense when talking about someone moving from poor to good performance. Going from good to great, however, is a different story. Being in the right place at the right time (having early luck) can be so important. 43. Which proverb can best summarise the 10,000-hour rule? A. Hard work pays off. B. Nothing is impossible. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Rome wasn’t built in a day. 44. Why does the author give the example of the three national champions? A. To show the power of personal effort. B. To tell us the benefits of having a good coach. C. To prove the necessity of interests and hobbies. D. To stress the importance of external environment. 45. According to the author, we would learn least from . A. a top student in our class B. an excellent teacher in our school C. the most famous scientist in China D. the greatest businessman in the world 46. What do the underlined words “a different story” probably mean? A. Takes more time. B. Involves more luck. C. Takes more perseverance. D. Involves more hard work. 47. Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A. Outliers Revisited: Why Gladwell’s 10,000-Hour Rule Is Incomplete B. Table Tennis Champions: The Hidden Role of Coaches in Success C. From Competent to Elite: How Practice Time Determines Greatness D. Luck vs. Practice: Which Is More Important for Achieving Expertise?

Thank You, Earth helps kids develop environmental respect by showing nature’s diversity. 根据第二段When developing an appreciation for the world around them, they can turn to books that show the cause and effect of how humans treat our planet, and why it’s important to respect the environment.（在培养对周围世界的欣赏时，他们可以转向书籍，这些书籍展示了人类如何对待我们的星球的因果关系，以及为什么尊重环境很重要。）和表格THANK YOU, EARTH: A LOVE LETTER TO OUR PLANET部分From up-close images of insects to pictures of mountain ranges, the pages introduce children to the planets’ diversity in a simple but effective way.（从昆虫的特写图片到山脉的图片，这些页面以简单而有效的方式向孩子们介绍了行星的多样性。） 38. B. They provide insights into how individuals or communities can make a difference. 根据第二段Most of the books on the list also offer lessons about how children, families, schools, and communities can make a difference.（多数书籍提供个人、家庭、学校和社区如何行动的启示）。 B篇文章讲述36岁的Andy Duran重拾滑板爱好时，因体型庞大遭遇资源匮乏和胖人不该滑板的偏见，于是创立胖人滑板社区Chub Rollz，通过推荐产品、开设课程鼓励同类人群，并呼吁打破身材刻板印象的故事。 39. C. His ability. 根据第一段the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time（他原以为唯一的麻烦是长时间不滑板后的自身能力问题）。 that指代前文提到的his own ability，即他最初担心的能力其实是最小的问题。 40. D. He aimed to challenge the idea that plus-size people shouldn’t skate and give them a sense of belonging. 根据第二段Determined to do something to change the image of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz — a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others could have representation as well.（Duran决心采取行动改变大码人群在体育运动中的形象，他成立了Chub Rollz——一个为超重滑冰者提供滑冰和滑板服务的社区。他知道，他不仅需要重新投入其中以证明人们是错误的，而且他需要创造一个安全的空间，让其他人也能有代表权。） 41. B. Inspiring and creative. 根据第三段created a list of recommended products（创建推荐产品清单）、hosted skateboarding classes（开设课程）和第五段need those heavy-duty choices to stay available（需要耐用性产品），体现创新思维。第四段giving them the courage（给予勇气）和第六段For those hesitant about taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say: “Be kind to yourself. Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t be it.”（对于那些因为体型而犹豫不决的人，Duran说：“善待自己。仅仅因为你没有看到它并不意味着你不能成为它。”）鼓励体型焦虑者你可以成为你想成为的人，体现鼓舞人心。 42. B. No one is too fat to enjoy sports. 根据第二段What Duran did find was the belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz（Duran确实发现了这样一种信念，即大码的人不应该滑冰。Duran决心做点什么来改变大码运动员的形象，于是成立了Chub Rollz）和第六段Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t be it（没见过不代表你做不到），均强调胖人有权享受运动。 C篇文章批判性审视Malcolm Gladwell提出的10,000小时法则（即练习一万小时可成为专家），通过英国同街区三位乒乓球国手的案例，揭示卓越成就不仅依赖努力，更需环境与运气等不可控因素。文章核心观点是：从普通到优秀可通过努力实现，但从优秀到卓越则需天时地利，顶级成功的经验因运气成分难以复制。 43. C. Practice makes perfect. Which proverb can best summarise the 10,000-hour rule? 根据第一段a ten-year or 10,000-hour rule, which suggests that practising any skill for 10,000 hours is enough to make you an expert. 10,000小时法则核心是通过大量练习成为专家，与C. Practice makes perfect（熟能生巧）对应。 44. D. To stress the importance of external environment. 根据第三段certain situational factors beyond the control of these exceptional performers also play an important role（超出个人控制的环境因素起重要作用），案例中For example, three national champions in table tennis came from the same street in a small suburb of one town in England.三位冠军因退休教练住在同一条街（外部环境）而接触乒乓球。 45.
