Different students have different opinions on it. He Wei, 14, Beijing This special sidewalk can keep people who are always looking at their phones safe and protect them from accidents. People might feel much freer when using this sidewalk, because they used to knock into (撞上) someone else on a crowded one. Liu Jun, 15, Jiangsu It just encourages people to keep looking at their phones. If everyone only pays attention to their mobile phones while walking, sidewalks like this will be useless and accidents would still happen. Wu Lan, 14, Hunan Mobile phones have made a big difference in our lives. It seems that many people can’t live without them. Every year, many people get hurt or lose their lives because they are playing on their mobile phones while walking. So why not create a better environment for them? The special sidewalks can protect them from danger. Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang Smart phones are making a difference to our lives. They keep us away from the beauty around us. A special walkway for those is indulgence (纵容). Can’t people put their phones down for a while and enjoy a beautiful day? This is what we should encourage. 1．What does the underlined word “one” refer to? A．Sidewalk. B．Accident. C．Mobile phone. 2．What do Liu Jun and Sun Run have in common? A．They are both 14 years old. B．They both think the special sidewalks are helpful. C．They both dislike people using phones while walking. 3．Where can we most probably read this passage? A．In a story book. B．In a newspaper. C．In a science magazine. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了在西安，有一条专为低头族准备的人行道，并详细地介绍了不同的人对此的不同看法。 1．词句猜测题。根据“People might feel much freer when using this sidewalk, because they used to knock into (撞上) someone else on a crowded one.”可知，人们在使用这条人行道时可能会感到更自由，因为他们过去常常在拥挤的人行道上撞到别人。此处的one指的是“sidewalk”，故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据Liu Jun观点“It just encourages people to keep looking at their phones”可知，专用道只会鼓励人们一直看手机，因此Liu Jun反对走路时看手机；根据Sun Run观点“Can’t people put their phones down for a while and enjoy a beautiful day? This is what we should encourage”可知，人们就不能放下手机享受美好时光吗？这才是我们该鼓励的，因此Sun Run也反对走路时看手机。两人立场一致，故选C。 3．推理判断题。通读文章可知，本文主要介绍了在西安，有一条专为低头族准备的人行道，并详细地介绍了不同的人对此的不同看法。所以可能在报纸上读到本文，故选B。 Yang Chen-Ning, a world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, passed away in Beijing on October 18, 2025. He was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University. Tsinghua University wrote about his death and described him as “immortal (永垂不朽的人物)” for his influence on science and education will last forever. Born in 1922 in Hefei, Anhui Province, Yang moved to Beijing with his family in 1929. His university studies began at the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938, followed by a master’s degree (硕士学位) from Tsinghua University in 1944. The next year, he went to the United States for further study, receiving a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. The year 1957 saw Yang and his partner win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their discovery about how very small particles (粒子) behave changed scientists’ understanding of particle physics. From 1949 to 1966, Yang worked at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, then taught at the State University of New York until 1999. He returned to China often, serving as a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong since 1986 and helping build Tsinghua’s advanced studies program. He cared deeply for his country, developing science education and exchange between China and the United States. His first visit to China in 1971 encouraged many overseas Chinese researchers to return. He also raised money to support Chinese students studying abroad. Yang’s life was a legend that continues to inspire. His century-long journey of exploration (探究) and love for his nation left a bright mark on human history, showing how one person can shape the future through knowledge and hard work. 1．How old was Yang when he died?

D．It started his support for students studying in China. 4．According to the text, which order is correct? ①Working at a Princeton institute    ②Teaching at New York university ③Serving as a visiting professor    ④Studying for PhD in Chicago A．④→①→②→③ B．①→④→②→③ C．④→②→①→③ D．①→②→④→③ 5．What’s the text mainly about? A．Yang’s Nobel Prize story. B．Yang’s life and great achievements. C．Yang’s education in the US. D．Yang’s return to China. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记，主要讲述了著名物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主杨振宁的生平及其在科学和教育领域的重大贡献。 1．细节理解题。根据“Yang Chen-Ning, a world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, passed away in Beijing on October 18, 2025.”以及“Born in 1922 in Hefei”可知，杨振宁去世时年龄为2025-1922=103岁。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Tsinghua University wrote about his death and described him as ‘immortal (永垂不朽的人物)’ for his influence on science and education will last forever.”可知，清华称其为“不朽”是因为他对科学和教育的影响永存。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“His first visit to China in 1971 encouraged many overseas Chinese researchers to return.”可知，他1971年的访问推动了海外华人学者回国，助力中国科学发展。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据“The next year, he went to the United States for further study, receiving a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948.”可知，1948年获芝加哥大学博士学位；根据“From 1949 to 1966, Yang worked at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, then taught at the State University of New York until 1999.”可知，1949-1966年普林斯顿高等研究院工作，1966年后任教纽约州立大学；根据“ He returned to China often, serving as a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong since 1986 and helping build Tsinghua’s advanced studies program.”可知，1986年起任香港中文大学客座教授，A项符合。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了著名物理学家、诺贝尔奖得主杨振宁的生平及其在科学和教育领域的重大贡献。故选B。 One bright Saturday morning, Higgins, an 82-year-old woman with silver hair, opened her bedroom window. The warm sunlight flooded in, and the sweet smell of roses from her garden filled the air. But her smile disappeared when she found a thin man sitting on her garden bench (长椅)—he was bending down (弯腰) and eating the grass. Mrs. Higgins was confused (迷惑的), watching him from the window. “Eating grass? That’s strange,” she asked herself softly. She put on her shoes and her jacket, then walked slowly into the garden. The man looked up, his face still filled with grass. “Are you that hungry?” Mrs. Higgins asked gently. “Why don’t you find a job and buy real food?” The man said, “I don’t like working. This morning, I had nothing to eat, so I… I started eating your grass. Can you give me something to eat?” Mrs. Higgins looked at him for a moment, then said, “Follow me to the back door.” The man jumped up and followed her happily, already imagining bread or soup. When they reached the back door, Mrs. Higgins pointed to the small yard behind her house. “Look,” she said with a little smile. “The grass here is longer. You’ll get more to eat—enjoy!” 1．When Mrs. Higgins saw the man eating grass, ________. A．she ran into the garden fast B．she watched him from the window C．she sat with the young man silently D．she gave him some bread and soup 2．The man ate the grass because ________. A．he was lazy and had no breakfast B．he liked the grass more than bread C．he wanted to make Mrs. Higgins angry D．he wanted to ask for her roses 3．From the last paragraph, we can know that Mrs. Higgins ________. A．has no food to give the man B．likes to make fun of poor people C．refuses to give help to lazy people D．wants him to cut the long grass 4．How did the man feel at last? A． B． C． D． 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．Mrs. Higgins’ Beautiful Garden B．A Poor Man Eats Garden Grass C．A Man Visits Mrs. Higgins’ House D．Mrs. Higgins Teaches a Lazy Man 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位82岁的老太太希金斯夫人遇到一个在自家花园吃草的懒汉，她并没有直接给他食物，而是用幽默的方式引导他去后院吃更长的草，巧妙地拒绝帮助一个不愿工作的人。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mrs. Higgins was confused (迷惑的), watching him from the window.”可知，希金斯夫人从窗户里看着他。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中懒汉的回答“I don’t like working. This morning, I had nothing to eat, so I… I started eating your grass.”可知，他因为懒惰不想工作，早上没东西吃，所以吃草。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段中希金斯夫人对懒汉说的话“The grass here is longer. You’ll get more to eat—enjoy!”可知，她并没有直接给他食物，而是让他去吃后院更长的草。结合前文懒汉说自己不想工作，可以推断希金斯夫人拒绝帮助一个懒惰的人。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The man jumped up and followed her happily, already imagining bread or soup.”可知，男人以为会得到食物，所以很高兴地跟着她。但最后一段希金斯夫人只是让他去吃更长的草，并没有给他真正的食物，所以他的期待落空，会感到失望。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文，故事的核心是希金斯夫人遇到一个吃草的懒汉，并用智慧的方式应对。选项D“希金斯夫人教育一个懒汉”最贴合文章主旨，体现了她的智慧和故事的教育意义。其他选项只涉及故事的局部信息。故选D。 Can you show me who your idol (偶像) is? Unlike many of my classmates, my idol is not a film star, a famous writer or a sportsman. My idol is my dad. When I was only a five-year-old boy, I was seriously ill and needed attention all the time. My mother and father both worked and my grandparents lived far away. “Maybe I can stop working to stay at home and look after our son,” Dad said to Mom, knowing how much she loved her job. Many men in this situation would want their wives to stay with their children, but my dad always thinks about others before himself. This made me start to respect him. My dad later took a job. “Dad, why do you work at night?” I asked. “I choose the job so that I will only be out of the house when you are sleeping,” he replied. Since then, my dad has helped and supported me in everything I do. I still remember when I was learning to ride a bike. My dad ran behind me and held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I felt so safe because I knew he was near. Soon, I was able to ride by myself. My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. But he has shown me that something is more important than money. My dad gives me his time. Although he now works hard every day and is often very busy, he always makes time to stay with me. He has taught me that I can achieve anything if I really work hard on it. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a joke. B．By asking a question. C．By comparing two facts. D．By using an old saying. 2．Which paragraph shows us the reason why the writer’s father gave up the job? A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2. C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 3．Why did the writer’s father take a night job later? A．Because he could make more money. B．Because that was the only job he could find. C．Because he lived far away from the work place. D．Because he could look after his son during the day. 4．What did the writer want to show by sharing how he learned to ride a bicycle? A．His father’s support. B．His quickness to learn. C．His father’s carefulness. D．His fearlessness to ride. 5．What can we learn from his father? A．Success and courage. B．Humor and self-confidence. C．Selflessness and hard working. D．Health and independence. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者以父亲为偶像，通过描述父亲为照顾自己放弃工作、选择夜班以便陪伴自己以及在学习骑自行车时给予支持等事例，展现了父亲无私和勤劳的品质，表达了作者对父亲的敬重与感激。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Can you show me who your idol (偶像) is?”可知，作者以提问的方式开启文章。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Maybe I can stop working to stay at home and look after our son,” Dad said to Mom, knowing how much she loved her job.可知，父亲考虑到母亲热爱工作，提出自己停止工作来照顾儿子，这是父亲放弃工作的原因，所以第二段展示了作者父亲放弃工作的原因。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“I choose the job so that I will only be out of the house when you are sleeping,” he replied.可知，父亲选择夜班工作是为了在作者睡觉时才出门，这样白天可以照顾儿子。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据文章第六段“My dad ran behind me and held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I felt so safe because I knew he was near. Soon, I was able to ride by myself.”可知，作者描述父亲在自己学骑自行车时在后面扶着自行车，让自己感到安全并最终学会骑车，这体现了父亲的支持。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Many men in this situation would want their wives to stay with their children, but my dad always thinks about others before himself.”以及最后一段“Although he now works hard every day and is often very busy, he always makes time to stay with me.”可知，父亲在面对家庭情况时先考虑他人，放弃工作照顾孩子，之后又为了陪伴孩子选择夜班工作，努力工作还抽出时间陪伴作者，体现了父亲的无私和勤劳。故选C。 Xinhua News Agency reported in January, 2023, “Six years: His Spring Festivals were spent on the lake road.” He is 56-year-old Li Guozhong, who used to be a fisherman. By 9:00 am every day, Li has already finished walking along the 7-kilometer-long bank (岸) of Hengshui Lake in Hebei Province. Afterward, he takes a boat to see the lake area more closely. Before becoming a volunteer lake patroller (巡逻员), Li depended on Hengshui Lake for a living. By catching fish, he lived a good life. But as time went on, Li and other fishermen found that the lake water got dirty with too much mud (泥巴) and sand, so there were fewer fish in the lake and even the number of birds in the lake area fell. Li started thinking about what he could do to help improve the situation of the lake. Then he put away all his tools of fishing, refused his son’s request of living in the city and began his new life. In 2017, when Li learned that volunteer lake patrollers were needed, he made a decision of joining the organization without thinking twice. His family and neighbors thought he was so silly. Over the past years, he has recorded much information in his patrol diaries along the lake bank every day and watched the lake environment improve little by little. Although patrolling the lake is a lonely thing and requires a lot of time, Li will go on doing it and will never give up. Now, the water has become clear, the number of fish in the lake has grown and in July 2022, 332 kinds of birds were found flying over Hengshui Lake. 1．In which program did Xinhua News Agency probably report Li Guozhong? A．Society and life. B．Growth and education. C．Sports and health. D．Science and technology. 2．What did Li Guozhong do before being a volunteer? A．A reporter. B．A worker. C．A farmer. D．A fisherman. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Keeping diaries. B．Patrolling the lake. C．Going fishing. D．Clearing the lake. 4．Put the following information into the correct time order according to the passage. a. Li made his living by fishing.             b. Li signed up (报名) to be a volunteer. c. Li’s son asked him to live in the city.       d. 332 kinds of birds appeared in Hengshui Lake. e.

The “classroom” in the space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space class makes the young proud of our country. As a special “teacher”, Wang Yaping is regarded as “the most beautiful astronaut”. Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by the Air Force, Changchun Flight Academy. Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?” At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours during nine years in a training centre, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou-10. She joined the team of Shenzhou-13 in 2021 and flew into space for the second time. However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can’t stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman.” She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including pull-ups and barbells (杠铃). That finally made her dream come true. “You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams,” Wang Yaping said. She set a good example for the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired by the most beautiful astronaut. 1．How far is the space station from the earth? A．About 2,400 kilometres. B．About 1,800 kilometres.

Trees naturally take in carbon dioxide from the air and store it in their wood. However, when trees die, the stored carbon dioxide is released (释放) back into the air. Scientists have been searching for ways to take carbon dioxide away from the atmosphere (大气层) and safely store it for hundreds of years. In 2013, a group of researchers designed an experiment to test an ancient method to fight against global warming. Their goal is to prevent the decomposition (分解) of wood and the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burying it underground, which is known as the “wood vaulting (木拱顶)”. This method is not only simple, but also costs little. It may reduce up to 10 billion tons of carbon emissions (排放) every year, which means about 20% of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere disappear each year. During the experiment, researchers unexpectedly discovered a 3,775-year-old red cedar tree (红杉树), which was covered with clay (粘土) and was protected well. It only lost about 5% of its carbon, while over 95% of the carbon was kept for nearly 4,000 years. This ancient piece of wood seems to show the “wood vaulting” could really work. Besides, it showed the important role of clay in protecting wood from water, air, and other types of damage. Although the “wood vaulting” itself cannot solve the problem of global warming, it can be part of the solution. The ________ provides a natural and economical way to fight against climate change. 根据语篇内容,选择正确的答案。 1．What do we know from Paragraph 1? A．Carbon dioxide is good for the Earth. B．Dead trees can release carbon dioxide into the air. C．Trees release carbon dioxide into the air when they grow. 2．When did the researchers start the experiment on the “wood vaulting”? A．About 5 years ago. B．About 7 years ago. C．About 12 years ago. 3．How might the researchers feel when they find the red cedar tree? A．Sad. B．Worried. C．Pleased. 4．Which of the following words can be put in ________ in Paragraph 4? A．protection B．method C．damage 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To point out that carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming. B．To offer suggestions on how to fight against global warming. C．To introduce wood vaulting-a natural solution to global warming. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了“木拱顶”这一应对全球变暖的天然且经济的方法，包括其设计初衷、实验发现及作用。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, when trees die, the stored carbon dioxide is released (释放) back into the air.”可知，树木死亡后，储存的二氧化碳会被释放回空气中，B选项表述正确。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“In 2013, a group of researchers designed an experiment to test an ancient method to fight against global warming. Their goal is to prevent the decomposition (分解) of wood and the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burying it underground, which is known as the ‘wood vaulting (木拱顶)’.”可知，研究人员于2013年开始“木拱顶”实验，截至2025年，约12年时间。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“During the experiment, researchers unexpectedly discovered a 3,775-year-old red cedar tree (红杉树), which was covered…piece of wood seems to show the ‘wood vaulting’ could really work.”可知，研究人员发现的红杉树很好地证明了“木拱顶”方法的可行性，这一发现应让他们感到高兴。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据前文“This method is not only simple, but also costs little.”及“it can be part of the solution”可知，此处指代前文提到的“木拱顶”这一方法，指该方法为应对气候变化提供了天然且经济的途径。method“方法”，符合语境，故选B。 5．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是“In 2013, a group of researchers designed an experiment to test an ancient method to fight against global warming... which is known as the ‘wood vaulting (木拱顶)’”及“Although the ‘wood vaulting’ itself cannot solve the problem of global warming, it can be part of the solution.”可知，文章核心是介绍“木拱顶”这一应对全球变暖的天然解决方案。故选C。 This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory (胜利) of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance (抵抗) against Japanese Aggression (侵略) and the World Anti-Fascist(反法西斯) War. Many works about this history are being shown, like films, plays and dances. Among them, the movie Dead To Rights has caught a lot of attention. Directed by Shen Ao, the film is based on real photos that show the terrible things Japanese soldiers did during the Nanjing Massacre (大屠杀). The story happens when Japanese soldiers took control of Nanjing. To stay alive, a group of Chinese people hide inside a photo studio (工作室). To survive, they have to help a Japanese army photographer (摄影师) develop his pictures. But while doing this, they discover something shocking. The photo films record clear proof (证据) of the awful crimes Japanese soldiers committed (犯罪) all over the city. The group decides they must let the world know the truth. So they secretly keep the films and risk their lives to get them out safely. The story in the movie is connected to a real person. In 1938, a 15-year-old boy named Luo Jin worked in Huadong Photo Studio in Nanjing. Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes. He put 16 photos into a book and drew a red heart with blood and the Chinese word “Chi”(which means “humiliation”) on the cover. Later, a young man named Wu Xuan kept the book safe. After eight years, the photos became strong proof (证据) of the crimes and were shown to the world. Director Shen Ao said the reason why he made the film is that few people know how these important photos were saved. Dead To Rights is not only a movie, but also helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger. 1．The text talks about the 80th year of two victories. When did they happen? A．1935 B．1945 C．1955 D．1965 2．What is the movie Dead To Rights mainly about? A．A love story in Nanjing. B．A Japanese photographer’s life. C．Making films during a war. D．Saving photo films of Japanese crimes. 3．What does the underline word “humiliation” mean in paragraph 3? A．耻辱 B．回忆 C．荣耀 D．胜利 4．What did Luo Jin do?

A．To show how the truth was discovered. B．To help people remember painful history. C．To win international prizes. D．To encourage building a stronger country. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章围绕电影《南京照相馆》展开，介绍了这部电影的历史背景——基于南京大屠杀期间真实的历史事件，讲述了中国人冒死保存日军暴行照片证据的故事，并揭示了电影的教育意义。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory (胜利) of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance (抵抗) against Japanese Aggression (侵略) and the World Anti-Fascist(反法西斯) War.”可知，今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年。2025-80=1945，即中国人民抗日战争和世界反法西斯战争的胜利都是在 1945年。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Among them, the movie Dead To Rights has caught a lot of attention.”和“Directed by Shen Ao, the film is based on real photos that show the terrible things Japanese soldiers did during the Nanjing Massacre (大屠杀).”可知，《南京照相馆》是根据真实照片改编的，这些照片展示了日本士兵在南京大屠杀期间所做的可怕事情，即保存日本罪行的照片胶片。故选D。 3．词义理解题。根据“Chi”(耻)和“which means ‘humiliation’”可知，这个字的意思是“耻辱”。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据“In 1938, a 15-year-old boy named Luo Jin worked in Huadong Photo Studio in Nanjing. Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes.”可知，罗瑾秘密冲洗了超过30张显示日本罪行的照片副本。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Dead To Rights is not only a movie, but also helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger.”可知，《南京照相馆》不仅是一部电影，还帮助我们记住痛苦的历史，以便我们更加努力地使我们的国家更加强大。由此可推测，C选项“为了赢得国际大奖。”与文章拍摄这部电影的目的不符。故选C。 Many people think only school kids disagree with their parents. But that’s not true. In fact, parents and children of all ages can have communication problems—this is what we call the “generation gap (代沟).” But the good news is, we can bridge the generation gap with simple ways. Anger makes communication hard. So don’t argue with your parents. If you shout at your parents, they won’t listen to your ideas. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. You can stop talking first. Go to your room, take a deep breath, or walk around to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you still don’t want to talk face to face, try writing a letter. It’s easier to express your true feelings on paper without getting mad. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. For example, Michael wanted to buy a motorcycle, but his mom disagreed because she worried about his safety. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. If your parents won’t compromise on something, don’t get upset. Instead, show them you love and respect them. This keeps your relationship strong. Your parents’ ideas about life might be different from yours. To help them understand you, you can tell your parents what you care about and why. When your parents know your values, they’ll see why you make certain choices. This helps close the generation gap. In short, the generation gap isn’t hard to fix. If you remember these ways—stay calm when angry, compromise, and share your values, you’ll get along better with your parents. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. So why not try these tips? It’s definitely worth the effort! 1．According to the passage, the “generation gap” mainly refers to a communication problem between ________. A．teenagers and their friends B．parents and their young children C．people with different life experiences and values D．school kids and their teachers at school 2．If there’s a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better ________. A．have a walk with them B．share your values with them C．agree with them all the time D．keep away from them for a while 3．Why does the writer talk about Michael and his mother? A．To explain how compromise helps. B．To show parents often disagree with kids’ ideas. C．To tell kids to listen to parents’ advice on important things. D．To warn teens not to ride motorcycles without parents’ permission. 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．There are many serious problems in families today. B．Parents’ values are usually different from their children’s. C．The generation gap can be reduced if children take proper action. D．Compromise is the most important way to bridge the generation gap. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了代沟问题并非只存在于学龄儿童与父母之间，而是普遍存在于各年龄段的亲子关系中。文章提出了三种解决代沟的方法： 保持冷静避免争吵、学会妥协达成共识、主动分享个人价值观以增进理解。通过这些方法可以有效改善亲子沟通，建立更和谐的家庭关系。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“In fact, parents and children of all ages can have communication problems—this is what we call the ‘generation gap’ ”及下文可知，代沟是父母与孩子，即有着不同生活经历和价值观的人之间的沟通问题。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文中“To help them understand you, you can tell your parents what you care about, and why. When your parents know your values, they’ll see why you make certain choices.

Dog yawning looks funny and cute, but have you ever wondered why dogs yawn? Dogs yawn mainly when they are tired, though scientists still don’t fully understand why yawning happens. “Yawning helps relax face muscles (肌肉) and wake up tired dogs,” says Dr. Katy Nelson, a doctor at an animal hospital. At the same time, yawning increases blood flow (流动) in the head, neck, and face. By sending more oxygen (O2) to the brain, it helps dogs stay awake and keep a clear mind. What’s more, dogs yawn when they are worried, scared, or excited. For example, when a dog visits the vet or hears a loud sound, it may yawn again and again. This helps the dog stay calm and relaxed. In addition, when two dogs meet on the street and one yawns, it is a friendly greeting. It shows the other dog, “I want to be friends.” In this case, yawning is like a handshake between humans. Another interesting reason is that dogs can “catch” yawns from people they love. That means when owners yawn, their dogs may yawn, too. Scientists have found that dogs are more likely to catch yawns from people they feel close to, not from strangers. This shows a close relationship between dogs and their humans. Dogs can feel our emotions and react (作出反应) to them, just like close friends. In short, dog yawning is not only a simple action but also a way to communicate with us. By paying attention to when and where dogs yawn, we can better understand their health and feelings. For example, if a dog yawns during play or training, it might be a sign that it feels stressed or needs a rest. In that case, stopping for a break or using a gentle voice can help the dog feel safe again. Watching closely allows us to see when they are tired, nervous, or just trying to say hello. In this way, we can take better care of our furry (皮毛的) friends. 1．According to Paragraph 2, what is good about dogs’ yawning? A．It makes dogs run faster and jump higher. B．It wakes up dogs naturally in the morning. C．It relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. D．It takes oxygen from the brain and helps rest. 2．How does the writer support the idea in Paragraph 3? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By showing opinions. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Dogs often sleep next to their owners to feel safe. B．Dogs become more active when they see strangers. C．Dogs copy their owners’ yawns to show closeness. D．Dogs use yawns to make friends with other animals. 4．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了狗打哈欠的原因，包括疲劳、情绪状态、友好问候以及受主人影响等，同时指出狗打哈欠是与人类交流的一种方式，关注狗打哈欠能更好了解其健康和感受。 1．细节理解题。根据“Yawning helps relax face muscles (肌肉) and wake up tired dogs”以及“yawning increases blood flow (流动) in the head, neck, and face”可知，狗打哈欠能放松肌肉，增加头部、颈部和脸部的血液流动。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“For example, when a dog visits the vet or hears a loud sound, it may yawn again and again.”可知，作者通过举例来支持第三段中关于狗打哈欠的观点。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据“Another interesting reason is that dogs can ‘catch’ yawns from people they love. That means when owners yawn, their dogs may yawn, too.”以及“Scientists have found that dogs are more likely to catch yawns from people they feel close to, not from strangers.”可知，第四段主要讲的是狗会模仿主人打哈欠以表示亲密。故选C。 4．篇章结构题。文章第一段引出话题，提出狗打哈欠的现象并引发思考；第二段阐述狗打哈欠在疲劳时的作用；第三段说明狗在担心、害怕或兴奋时打哈欠的情况；第四段讲述狗会受主人影响打哈欠；第五段总结狗打哈欠是与人类交流的方式及关注狗打哈欠的意义。整体结构为总—分—总。故选B。 Countries around the world need to deal with the environmental and climate problems caused by rapid industrialization. This is necessary to protect the polar regions, which influence global climate through a number of processes. The Earth’s snow and ice covers are melting at more than twice the average rate because of global warming. As spring snow and summer sea ice cover decrease because of increasing human activity. As temperatures increase in the Arctic, icy soils in northern regions store less carbon, and the release of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). Global warming is changing the polar, because polar animals and plants are more sensitive to temperature rise. First, all the countries should have the same idea on working together to address climate change. Second, there should be an agreement on the fact that all countries’ right to carbon emissions (碳排放) is equal and users should bear the cost of carbon emissions from the products they use. Third, there should a global agreement saying consumers have the right to know and choose, and digital technologies should be used to control the carbon footprint of users. Fourth, a global agreement is needed to make sure developed and developing countries all shoulder their responsibilities for reducing carbon. Besides, stricter rules should be taken to better protect the fragile polar environment. It is necessary to pay more attention to the former’s environment and the Arctic should be well protected. The influence of human activity on the Arctic’s ecological environment should be reduced, by reducing mining, fishing and tourism as much as possible, limiting pollutant emissions. Especially, fishing should be banned. Countries around the Arctic Ocean must reduce land-based pollution and check the sources of environmental pollution, such as shipping emissions, ocean dumping and air pollution. The international community needs to cooperate more closely and deeply to protect the polar environment and ecology, and international organizations should provide financial and technological support to countries in the polar region to do research and set up a wide monitoring network. The North and South Poles have great research value, playing an important role in many fields including trade, sea channels and natural resources against the climate change. Polar regions, especially the Arctic, offer new development chances as well as risks. The Arctic belongs to the world and it is the international society’s responsibility to make sure of peace and development. In other words, all countries should join hands to protect the polar region’s environment to reduce the effects of climate change. 1．According to the passage, we know ________. A．the environmental and climate problems are being paid attention to by all the countries B．carbon emissions should be done by developed countries C．fishing should be banned around the world D．international organizations should provide financial and technological support to developing countries 2．According to the passage, which is TRUE? A．Global warming only happens in the polar regions. B．Countries around the Arctic Ocean must reduce air pollution. C．The business in the north pole areas doesn’t hurt the environment. D．Developing countries all shoulder their responsibilities for reducing carbon. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Countries around the world need to deal with climate problems. B．Human activity should keep away from the north pole areas. C．More and more people have realised that the polar regions are in danger and we are taking action. D．Only the countries around the polar regions should join hands to protect the polar region’s environment to reduce the effects of climate change. 4．The underlined part “fragile” means “________”.

People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth—silk, and it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But something amazing happened. During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed, silk became so important that the trade road from China to Europe got its name—the Silk Road. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It cannot be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation (合作) and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China?

During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there”，第三段“From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West.”和第四段“Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road.”可知，事件发生的先后顺序是中国人被命令保守制丝的秘密，然后张骞带着丝绸西行，中国和西方的商人交换物品，最后是艺术和语言在丝绸之路上共享。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据第四段“It cannot be seen anywhere else.”可知，此处是说可以看到艺术作品是如何将东西方风格结合起来创造出与众不同的东西。“distinctive”的意思是特别的。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。阅读全文并根据最后一段“It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things.”可知，本文主要讲述了中国人通过丝绸之路与西方进行贸易往来，通过不同文化的沟通共同创造出令人惊叹的东西，因此本文主要谈的是跨文化交流的重要性。故选D。 ①On Sep. 23, 2025, a Chinese cargo ship started from Ningbo, cutting through the Arctic (北极) ice toward Europe. On the evening of Oct. 13, it arrived safely in the UK. This marked the opening of China’s Arctic shipping route (船运航线), a “Silk Road on Ice” that makes us all proud. ②Instead of taking traditional old routes, the ship went northeast through the Arctic. The trip took about 20 days. That’s 20 days shorter than going through the Suez Canal (苏伊士运河), and 30 days shorter than going around the Cape of Good Hope (好望角). The successful trip means a lot to Chinese. Not only does it show recent development of Chinese technology, but also it may bring big benefits (好处). ③To achieve this route, we’ve developed strong ships with special devices (装置). Among them, ICRs play an important role in providing early warnings of dangers at sea. ________ Also, if the lane (航道) is covered with thick ice our ships can’t avoid, they are strong enough to break it and keep moving. Besides, Beidou Navigation System (导航系统), developed independently by our own country, makes it possible for the ships to go in the right direction and travel safely. These technologies turn the once dangerous Arctic into a safe and valuable “golden waterway”. ④Besides, this new route has a lot of benefits. For business, faster shipping helps new products reach European markets much more quickly—especially products for the year-end holidays. The cold Arctic weather also saves money on cooling for high-value things like big power batteries (电池) on the way. For the environment, the shorter trip cuts down waste gas like CO2. What’s more, it avoids busy traffic problems on the waterway like the Suez Canal. ⑤Let’s see what Europeans said about the new route. A toy shop owner said, “The Chinese toys will be on sale next week. Last year, I had to wait over a month for holiday toys. This year, it’s much faster! We expect more tourists to travel here!” Another owner who runs a supermarket added, “Since there are more products arriving here, we need more workers to carry our products. But we’re happy to see that.” ⑥International media also reported on this new route. BBC said it would help China-Europe trade grow more. A Russian TV station noted it would make economic (经济的) relationship stronger between China, Europe and the world. ⑦This new route not only shows China’s new ideas in global trade, but also teaches us an important lesson: if we work together, we can find better and greener ways to solve problems. China is now planning to work with other countries to make the route safer and more convenient and help to make the world more connected. 1．Which of the following can be put in _________ in Paragraph 3? A．They will collect the weather information. B．They were invented by European scientists. C．They can help workers repair the broken parts of the ships. D．They can help the ships go safely around the ice mountains. 2．Who might get the most benefits from the new route according to the passage? A．Scientists studying the Arctic and ice. B．European shop owners selling products. C．Workers working in the Suez Canal. D．Chinese tourists traveling to Europe. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．B．C． D． 4．What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A．The challenges ships met in the Arctic in the past. B．The reasons why China develops the new route. C．The improvement of the new route in the future. D．The researches on the Arctic by European scientists. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国北极船运航线（“冰上丝绸之路”）的开通及其重要意义、技术支撑、多方面好处、欧洲人的反馈以及国际媒体的评价。 1．推理判断题。根据“Among them, ICRs play an important role in providing early warnings of dangers at sea.”及“Also, if the lane (航道) is covered with thick ice our ships can’t avoid, they are strong enough to break it and keep moving.”可知，ICRs的作用之一是“为海上危险提供早期预警”，并帮助船只避开无法打破的厚冰。选项D“它们能帮助船只安全绕过冰山”与文意最匹配。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“The Chinese toys will be on sale next week. Last year, I had to wait over a month for holiday toys. This year, it’s much faster! We expect more tourists to travel here!”、“Since there are more products arriving here, we need more workers to carry our products. But we’re happy to see that.”及“International media also reported on this new route. BBC said it would help China-Europe trade grow more. A Russian TV station noted it would make economic (经济的) relationship stronger between China, Europe and the world.”可知，文中第⑤段与第⑥段讲到欧洲的玩具店老板、超市老板以及媒体都对新航线给予积极评价，尤其是店主们因为货物能够更快送达而受益最大，故选B。 3．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第①段是引入(Lead in)，第②～④段主要介绍航线概况和技术支撑(Introduction)，第⑤～⑥段是欧洲商家和媒体等不同观点(Opinions)，第⑦段作结论(Conclusion)。与选项D所示结构一致。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“China is now planning to work with other countries to make the route safer and more convenient and help to make the world more connected.”可知，文章最后一段提到未来要与其他国家合作，让新航线“更安全、更便利”，因此后文最可能讨论航线在未来的改进与发展，故选C。 Have you ever looked at a cat’s face and wondered what it is thinking? A team of scientists from the University of California might have some answers. In a fascinating new study, researchers discovered that cats use 276 different facial expressions to show their feelings—far more than we have ever imagined! ①________ The scientists visited a local cat cafe in Los Angeles for over several months to observe (观察) 53 cats. They recorded 194 minutes of videos, carefully watching how the cats communicate with each other. Using a special system called FACS (Facial Action Coding System), which is normally used to study human expressions, they identified 26 unique facial movements in cats. These movements—like licking (舔) their nose, opening their mouth, or widening their pupils (the black part of their eyes)—combine in different ways to create all those expressions. They also found cats use 26 of these facial movements in total, which can be mixed to express how they are feeling. Dogs use 27 facial movements and humans use a total of 44. ②________ Out of the expressions they recorded, 45% were friendly and 37% were angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward while closing its eyes slowly—almost like a smile! However, an angry cat often flattens its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips,” said the team. ③________ Although the researchers aren’t sure what the cats were trying to communicate with each other using their faces, they plan to study cats in other places to improve their understanding. They also hope that the research could help animal shelters (收容所) improve the way they look after the cats. Some pet owners even suggest the researchers develop an app that scans a cat’s face to explain its mood—like a “cat translator”. Next time your cat stares at you, pay attention—it might be “talking” with its face! 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By giving numbers. B．By telling a story. C．By showing some facts. D．By asking a question. 2．Which of the following uses the most facial movements? A．Cats. B．Humans. C．Dogs. D．Tigers. 3．Match the title with each part. a. Why Does This Matter?     b. Friendly Faces or Angry Faces? c. How Did They Study Cats?     d. Future Research on Cat Communication. A．①-a ②-b ③-d B．①-b ②-c ③-a C．①-c ②-b ③-d D．①-d ②-b ③-c 4．What might the scientists do next? A．Keep on studying to know more about cats. B．Find out why the cats try to communicate with each other. C．Build an animal shelter to look after cats. D．Use an app to study cats’ expressions. 5．What would be the best structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了加州大学科学家关于猫面部表情的研究，包括研究方法、猫面部表情的分类以及研究的意义和未来计划等。 1．细节理解题。根据“Have you ever looked at a cat’s face and wondered what it is thinking?”可知，作者通过提出问题“你是否曾经看着猫的脸并好奇它在想什么”来开始文章。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Dogs use 27 facial movements and humans use a total of 44.”可知，人类使用的面部动作最多，共44个，而猫使用26个，狗使用27个，文中未提及老虎。故选B。 3．推理判断题。①处下文主要介绍了科学家们如何研究猫的面部表情，包括观察猫、录制视频、使用FACS系统等，所以①处应匹配标题“How Did They Study Cats?”；②处下文主要介绍了记录的猫的表情中友好和愤怒的比例，以及友好和愤怒的猫的具体面部表现，所以②处应匹配标题“Friendly Faces or Angry Faces?”；③处下文主要介绍了这项研究的意义以及未来的研究计划，所以③处应匹配标题“Future Research on Cat Communication.”。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Although the researchers aren’t sure what the cats were trying to communicate with each other using their faces, they plan to study cats in other places to improve their understanding.”可知，科学家们计划在其他地方继续研究猫，以提高他们的理解，即继续研究以更多地了解猫。故选A。 5．篇章结构题。文章第一段通过提出问题引出主题；第二、三、四段分别介绍了研究方法、猫面部表情的分类以及研究的意义；第五段介绍了未来的研究计划。所以文章结构为总分总，与C选项结构相符。故选C。 The Jiangsu City Football League, popularly known as Su Chao, recently finished its longest-ever season from spring to autumn. While the high-level skills and passion (热情) on the field were a major draw, the league’s true success came from its deep connection with the people. Unlike national leagues, Su Chao is based on city teams, which turns people’s local pride into strong support for the teams. The record-breaking crowd of over 61,000 fans for the Nanjing vs. Lianyungang match is a perfect example. They didn’t only cheer for great goals; they celebrated the never-give-up spirit of amateur (业余的) players who, like Liu Ye, never give up until the end. This local pride made the games more exciting. Fans cheered louder and felt more connected to their team, creating a wonderful atmosphere (氛围) in every match. Su Chao kept ticket prices low to make games affordable for everyone. Cities also provided excellent services for fans, including extra free public transportation, clean facilities (设施), and even delicious food or wonderful local performances. Moreover, Su Chao played a big and meaningful social role beyond entertainment (远超娱乐). The long-lasting 176-day season provided a long-lasting shared activity for communities. Families and friends gathered to watch the games, creating new local traditions and shared memories. Also, the league served as a powerful encouragement for young people, showing through action that key values like teamwork, never giving up, and willingness are important both on and off the field. In this way, football became a bridge, connecting people from different backgrounds, jobs, and ages through a common passion. Su Chao’s huge popularity clearly proves that the real power of football lies not only in the final score but in its special ability to build stronger communities and encourage people. It was more than a competition; it was a widespread festival that celebrated local culture, shared values, and the simple joy of the sport. 1．The word “draw” in the first paragraph most probably means ________. A．a picture or photo B．something that attracts people C．a tie in a game D．a prize for those fans 2．What is the main reason for Su Chao’s strong support from fans according to the passage? A．The league gathered many good high-level players. B．The games were free to watch for everyone. C．It turned people’s local pride into support for city teams.

B．Professional (职业的) leagues are more successful than amateur ones. C．The final match was the most exciting in the league’s history. D．Football’s power is about building community and encouragement. 4．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To explain the basic rules of football. B．To report on one exciting match in the Su Chao league. C．To introduce the players on the Nanjing FC team. D．To explore the reasons for Su Chao’s popularity and success. 5．What may the writer most likely agree with? A．Su Chao has widened people’s understanding of sport competitions. B．The main goal of Su Chao is to discover the future superstar players. C．More professional players will make the event bigger and more successful. D．Excellent public service isn’t a factor (因素) for Su Chao’s success. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了江苏城市足球联赛“苏超”成功的原因及其社会意义。 1．词句猜测题。根据“While the high-level skills and passion on the field were a major draw, the league’s true success came from its deep connection with the people.”可知，高水平的技巧和热情是主要的“吸引点”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Unlike national leagues, Su Chao is based on city teams, which turns people’s local pride into strong support for the teams.”可知，苏超以城市球队为基础，这使其能够将人们的本土自豪感转化为对球队的大力支持。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据“Su Chao’s huge popularity clearly proves that the real power of football lies not only in the final score but in its special ability...”可知，本段强调足球的力量在于凝聚社群、激励大众。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要围绕苏超联赛受欢迎和成功的原因展开，包括情感连接、亲民策略和社会价值等。故选D。 5．观点态度题。根据“Su Chao’s huge popularity clearly proves that the real power of football lies not only in the final score but in its special ability to build stronger communities and encourage people.”可知，作者认为苏超的巨大影响力清楚地证明足球的真正力量不仅在于最终的比分，更在于其凝聚社群、激励大众的特殊能力。因此作者最有可能会认同“苏超扩展了人们对体育竞赛的认知”。故选A。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 期末复习之阅读理解20篇 （期末考试热点话题） 本资料共20篇专题训练，从上到下按照难度分层训练 题号 难度 知识点 1 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文 2 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文 3 较易 时文/广告/布告,应用文 4 较易 时文/广告/布告,文体活动,应用文 5 较易 意见/建议,应用文,通讯工具 6 适中 科学家,记叙文 7 适中 幽默故事,记叙文 8 适中 家人和亲人,哲理感悟,记叙文 9 适中 志愿服务,环境保护,记叙文 10 适中 其他著名人物,记叙文 11 适中 发明与创造,环境保护,说明文 12 适中 电影与戏剧,说明文 13 适中 家庭关系,青少年问题,说明文 14 适中 电影与戏剧,说明文 15 适中 常见动物,说明文,宠物 16 较难 环境保护,环境污染,说明文 17 较难 跨文化沟通,说明文 18 较难 科学技术,说明文 19 较难 常见动物,科普知识,说明文 20 较难 竞技/比赛,说明文,体育精神 Looking for a smart watch?

Different students have different opinions on it. He Wei, 14, Beijing This special sidewalk can keep people who are always looking at their phones safe and protect them from accidents. People might feel much freer when using this sidewalk, because they used to knock into (撞上) someone else on a crowded one. Liu Jun, 15, Jiangsu It just encourages people to keep looking at their phones. If everyone only pays attention to their mobile phones while walking, sidewalks like this will be useless and accidents would still happen. Wu Lan, 14, Hunan Mobile phones have made a big difference in our lives. It seems that many people can’t live without them. Every year, many people get hurt or lose their lives because they are playing on their mobile phones while walking. So why not create a better environment for them? The special sidewalks can protect them from danger. Sun Run, 14, Zhejiang Smart phones are making a difference to our lives. They keep us away from the beauty around us. A special walkway for those is indulgence (纵容). Can’t people put their phones down for a while and enjoy a beautiful day? This is what we should encourage. 1．What does the underlined word “one” refer to? A．Sidewalk. B．Accident. C．Mobile phone. 2．What do Liu Jun and Sun Run have in common? A．They are both 14 years old. B．They both think the special sidewalks are helpful. C．They both dislike people using phones while walking. 3．Where can we most probably read this passage? A．In a story book. B．In a newspaper. C．In a science magazine. Yang Chen-Ning, a world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, passed away in Beijing on October 18, 2025. He was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University. Tsinghua University wrote about his death and described him as “immortal (永垂不朽的人物)” for his influence on science and education will last forever. Born in 1922 in Hefei, Anhui Province, Yang moved to Beijing with his family in 1929. His university studies began at the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938, followed by a master’s degree (硕士学位) from Tsinghua University in 1944. The next year, he went to the United States for further study, receiving a PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. The year 1957 saw Yang and his partner win the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their discovery about how very small particles (粒子) behave changed scientists’ understanding of particle physics. From 1949 to 1966, Yang worked at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study, then taught at the State University of New York until 1999. He returned to China often, serving as a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong since 1986 and helping build Tsinghua’s advanced studies program. He cared deeply for his country, developing science education and exchange between China and the United States. His first visit to China in 1971 encouraged many overseas Chinese researchers to return. He also raised money to support Chinese students studying abroad. Yang’s life was a legend that continues to inspire. His century-long journey of exploration (探究) and love for his nation left a bright mark on human history, showing how one person can shape the future through knowledge and hard work. 1．How old was Yang when he died? A．93. B．100. C．103. D．105. 2．Why did Tsinghua call Yang “immortal”? A．He lived for over a century. B．He worked at Tsinghua University. C．He was a winner of the Nobel Prize.

One bright Saturday morning, Higgins, an 82-year-old woman with silver hair, opened her bedroom window. The warm sunlight flooded in, and the sweet smell of roses from her garden filled the air. But her smile disappeared when she found a thin man sitting on her garden bench (长椅)—he was bending down (弯腰) and eating the grass. Mrs. Higgins was confused (迷惑的), watching him from the window. “Eating grass? That’s strange,” she asked herself softly. She put on her shoes and her jacket, then walked slowly into the garden. The man looked up, his face still filled with grass. “Are you that hungry?” Mrs. Higgins asked gently. “Why don’t you find a job and buy real food?” The man said, “I don’t like working. This morning, I had nothing to eat, so I… I started eating your grass. Can you give me something to eat?” Mrs. Higgins looked at him for a moment, then said, “Follow me to the back door.” The man jumped up and followed her happily, already imagining bread or soup. When they reached the back door, Mrs. Higgins pointed to the small yard behind her house. “Look,” she said with a little smile. “The grass here is longer. You’ll get more to eat—enjoy!” 1．When Mrs. Higgins saw the man eating grass, ________.

Unlike many of my classmates, my idol is not a film star, a famous writer or a sportsman. My idol is my dad. When I was only a five-year-old boy, I was seriously ill and needed attention all the time. My mother and father both worked and my grandparents lived far away. “Maybe I can stop working to stay at home and look after our son,” Dad said to Mom, knowing how much she loved her job. Many men in this situation would want their wives to stay with their children, but my dad always thinks about others before himself. This made me start to respect him. My dad later took a job. “Dad, why do you work at night?” I asked. “I choose the job so that I will only be out of the house when you are sleeping,” he replied. Since then, my dad has helped and supported me in everything I do. I still remember when I was learning to ride a bike. My dad ran behind me and held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I felt so safe because I knew he was near. Soon, I was able to ride by myself. My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. But he has shown me that something is more important than money. My dad gives me his time. Although he now works hard every day and is often very busy, he always makes time to stay with me. He has taught me that I can achieve anything if I really work hard on it. 1．How does the writer start the text? A．By telling a joke. B．By asking a question. C．By comparing two facts.

Xinhua News Agency reported in January, 2023, “Six years: His Spring Festivals were spent on the lake road.” He is 56-year-old Li Guozhong, who used to be a fisherman. By 9:00 am every day, Li has already finished walking along the 7-kilometer-long bank (岸) of Hengshui Lake in Hebei Province. Afterward, he takes a boat to see the lake area more closely. Before becoming a volunteer lake patroller (巡逻员), Li depended on Hengshui Lake for a living. By catching fish, he lived a good life. But as time went on, Li and other fishermen found that the lake water got dirty with too much mud (泥巴) and sand, so there were fewer fish in the lake and even the number of birds in the lake area fell. Li started thinking about what he could do to help improve the situation of the lake. Then he put away all his tools of fishing, refused his son’s request of living in the city and began his new life. In 2017, when Li learned that volunteer lake patrollers were needed, he made a decision of joining the organization without thinking twice. His family and neighbors thought he was so silly. Over the past years, he has recorded much information in his patrol diaries along the lake bank every day and watched the lake environment improve little by little. Although patrolling the lake is a lonely thing and requires a lot of time, Li will go on doing it and will never give up. Now, the water has become clear, the number of fish in the lake has grown and in July 2022, 332 kinds of birds were found flying over Hengshui Lake. 1．In which program did Xinhua News Agency probably report Li Guozhong? A．Society and life. B．Growth and education. C．Sports and health. D．Science and technology. 2．What did Li Guozhong do before being a volunteer? A．A reporter. B．A worker. C．A farmer. D．A fisherman. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．Keeping diaries. B．Patrolling the lake. C．Going fishing. D．Clearing the lake. 4．Put the following information into the correct time order according to the passage. a. Li made his living by fishing.             b. Li signed up (报名) to be a volunteer. c.

C．Helpful and quiet. D．Strong and humorous. Online classes in space got lots of attention from Chinese students. The “classroom” in the space station is about 400 kilometres away from the earth. The space class makes the young proud of our country. As a special “teacher”, Wang Yaping is regarded as “the most beautiful astronaut”. Wang Yaping was born in a small village in Shandong in 1980. She studied hard all those years. She was good at all subjects, especially sports. Luckily, in 1997, she was accepted by the Air Force, Changchun Flight Academy. Wang’s space dream started in 2003, when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space. She told herself, “China now has a male astronaut. When will there be a female one?” At that time, Wang was a pilot in the Chinese army. After having safe flights for 1,600 hours during nine years in a training centre, Wang was a strong candidate (候选人) to become an astronaut in 2010. In 2013, Wang realized her space dream. She was sent to space by Shenzhou-10. She joined the team of Shenzhou-13 in 2021 and flew into space for the second time. However, it is difficult to be an astronaut. She has to experience a lot of pain that most people can’t stand and keep training all the time. Wang Yaping told Xinhua, “The space environment won’t change because you are a woman.” She pushed herself hard, getting the same training as men, including pull-ups and barbells (杠铃). That finally made her dream come true. “You are on the way to success as long as you stick to your dreams,” Wang Yaping said. She set a good example for the young. Millions of students are encouraged and inspired by the most beautiful astronaut. 1．How far is the space station from the earth? A．About 2,400 kilometres. B．About 1,800 kilometres. C．About 400 kilometres. D．About 600 kilometres. 2．When was Wang Yaping born? A．In 1979. B．In 1980. C．In 1997. D．In 2013. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Wang did well in all subjects except sports. B．Wang took part in Shenzhou-10 tasks in 2003. C．Wang flew into space for the second time in 2021. D．Wang’s training was different from men astronauts’. 4．What made Wang Yaping achieve her dream? A．Beautiful looks. B．Strong spirit. C．Nice family. D．Good luck. 5．What’s the best title of this passage? A．The Most Beautiful Astronaut B．The Special Space Classes C．The Introduction to Science D．The Life in the Space Station Carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) is a greenhouse gas and it is one of the causes of global warming. Trees naturally take in carbon dioxide from the air and store it in their wood. However, when trees die, the stored carbon dioxide is released (释放) back into the air. Scientists have been searching for ways to take carbon dioxide away from the atmosphere (大气层) and safely store it for hundreds of years. In 2013, a group of researchers designed an experiment to test an ancient method to fight against global warming. Their goal is to prevent the decomposition (分解) of wood and the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burying it underground, which is known as the “wood vaulting (木拱顶)”. This method is not only simple, but also costs little. It may reduce up to 10 billion tons of carbon emissions (排放) every year, which means about 20% of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere disappear each year. During the experiment, researchers unexpectedly discovered a 3,775-year-old red cedar tree (红杉树), which was covered with clay (粘土) and was protected well. It only lost about 5% of its carbon, while over 95% of the carbon was kept for nearly 4,000 years. This ancient piece of wood seems to show the “wood vaulting” could really work. Besides, it showed the important role of clay in protecting wood from water, air, and other types of damage. Although the “wood vaulting” itself cannot solve the problem of global warming, it can be part of the solution. The ________ provides a natural and economical way to fight against climate change. 根据语篇内容,选择正确的答案。 1．What do we know from Paragraph 1? A．Carbon dioxide is good for the Earth. B．Dead trees can release carbon dioxide into the air. C．Trees release carbon dioxide into the air when they grow. 2．When did the researchers start the experiment on the “wood vaulting”? A．About 5 years ago. B．About 7 years ago. C．About 12 years ago. 3．How might the researchers feel when they find the red cedar tree? A．Sad. B．Worried. C．Pleased. 4．Which of the following words can be put in ________ in Paragraph 4? A．protection B．method C．damage 5．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To point out that carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming. B．To offer suggestions on how to fight against global warming. C．To introduce wood vaulting-a natural solution to global warming. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory (胜利) of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance (抵抗) against Japanese Aggression (侵略) and the World Anti-Fascist(反法西斯) War. Many works about this history are being shown, like films, plays and dances. Among them, the movie Dead To Rights has caught a lot of attention. Directed by Shen Ao, the film is based on real photos that show the terrible things Japanese soldiers did during the Nanjing Massacre (大屠杀). The story happens when Japanese soldiers took control of Nanjing. To stay alive, a group of Chinese people hide inside a photo studio (工作室). To survive, they have to help a Japanese army photographer (摄影师) develop his pictures. But while doing this, they discover something shocking. The photo films record clear proof (证据) of the awful crimes Japanese soldiers committed (犯罪) all over the city. The group decides they must let the world know the truth. So they secretly keep the films and risk their lives to get them out safely. The story in the movie is connected to a real person. In 1938, a 15-year-old boy named Luo Jin worked in Huadong Photo Studio in Nanjing. Brave and clever, he secretly made over 30 copies of photos showing Japanese crimes. He put 16 photos into a book and drew a red heart with blood and the Chinese word “Chi”(which means “humiliation”) on the cover. Later, a young man named Wu Xuan kept the book safe. After eight years, the photos became strong proof (证据) of the crimes and were shown to the world. Director Shen Ao said the reason why he made the film is that few people know how these important photos were saved. Dead To Rights is not only a movie, but also helps us remember painful history so that we work harder to make our country stronger. 1．The text talks about the 80th year of two victories. When did they happen? A．1935 B．1945 C．1955 D．1965 2．What is the movie Dead To Rights mainly about? A．A love story in Nanjing. B．A Japanese photographer’s life. C．Making films during a war.

A．To show how the truth was discovered. B．To help people remember painful history. C．To win international prizes. D．To encourage building a stronger country. Many people think only school kids disagree with their parents. But that’s not true. In fact, parents and children of all ages can have communication problems—this is what we call the “generation gap (代沟).” But the good news is, we can bridge the generation gap with simple ways. Anger makes communication hard. So don’t argue with your parents. If you shout at your parents, they won’t listen to your ideas. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. You can stop talking first. Go to your room, take a deep breath, or walk around to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you still don’t want to talk face to face, try writing a letter. It’s easier to express your true feelings on paper without getting mad. Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. For example, Michael wanted to buy a motorcycle, but his mom disagreed because she worried about his safety. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days. If your parents won’t compromise on something, don’t get upset. Instead, show them you love and respect them. This keeps your relationship strong. Your parents’ ideas about life might be different from yours. To help them understand you, you can tell your parents what you care about and why. When your parents know your values, they’ll see why you make certain choices. This helps close the generation gap. In short, the generation gap isn’t hard to fix. If you remember these ways—stay calm when angry, compromise, and share your values, you’ll get along better with your parents. A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. So why not try these tips? It’s definitely worth the effort! 1．According to the passage, the “generation gap” mainly refers to a communication problem between ________. A．teenagers and their friends B．parents and their young children C．people with different life experiences and values D．school kids and their teachers at school 2．If there’s a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better ________. A．have a walk with them B．share your values with them C．agree with them all the time D．keep away from them for a while 3．Why does the writer talk about Michael and his mother? A．To explain how compromise helps. B．To show parents often disagree with kids’ ideas. C．To tell kids to listen to parents’ advice on important things. D．To warn teens not to ride motorcycles without parents’ permission. 4．What can be inferred from the passage? A．There are many serious problems in families today. B．Parents’ values are usually different from their children’s. C．The generation gap can be reduced if children take proper action. D．Compromise is the most important way to bridge the generation gap. A Chinese 2D-animated film (动画电影) called “Nobody” has become a big hit this summer. It was made by Shanghai Animation Film Studio and came out on August 2, 2025. By August 11, it had made 574 million yuan. This broke the record for Chinese-2D animated films—it went past the 573 million yuan of Big Fish & Begonia (《大鱼海棠》). It also got a score of 8.6 on Douban, and both children and grown-ups love it. The film tells a warm story. It is based on a short film from Chinese Tales. The story is about four little monsters: a pig, a toad (蟾蜍) ,a weasel (黄鼠狼), and a gorilla (大猩猩). They used to work for a mountain king, but they lost their jobs by chance. To live, they pretend (假装) to be Tang Monk and his group from Journey to the West (《西游记》) and start a trip to the west. On the way, they change—at first they only looked for food, but later they save villagers. There is a famous line in the film: “We may be nobodies in society, but we are pillars (支柱) at home.” This line makes people think about life. What makes this film special? Its beautiful Chinese ink painting style is very eye-catching and each picture uses 50 ink layers. Its English name “Nobody” tells us: even small and common people can be heroes. The film’s success has also made its related products (相关产品) popular. More than 300 products, from soft toys to school things like pens and notebooks, sell very fast. “Nobody” is not just a movie. It brings happiness to people and teaches us that everyone can be a hero. 1．Why can we say “Nobody” is popular with many people? A．It was made by a famous animation studio. B．It got a high score on Douban and is loved by kids and adults. C．It broke the record for Chinese 3D animated films. 2．What can we know about the four little monsters in the film? A．They always wanted to be Tang Monk and his group. B．They became better people during their trip to the west. C．They only cared about finding food during the whole trip. 3．Why did the writer mention the 50 ink layers used in each picture of the film? A．To show how difficult it is to make an animated film. B．To explain why the film’s ink painting style is beautiful and special. C．To tell readers the film used more ink than other films. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．“Nobody” came out on August 11, 2025. B．“Big Fish & Begonia” earned 574 million yuan at the box office. C．The film wants to tell us common people can be heroes. If you have a dog, you’ve probably seen it yawn (打哈欠) many times. Dog yawning looks funny and cute, but have you ever wondered why dogs yawn? Dogs yawn mainly when they are tired, though scientists still don’t fully understand why yawning happens. “Yawning helps relax face muscles (肌肉) and wake up tired dogs,” says Dr. Katy Nelson, a doctor at an animal hospital. At the same time, yawning increases blood flow (流动) in the head, neck, and face. By sending more oxygen (O2) to the brain, it helps dogs stay awake and keep a clear mind. What’s more, dogs yawn when they are worried, scared, or excited. For example, when a dog visits the vet or hears a loud sound, it may yawn again and again. This helps the dog stay calm and relaxed. In addition, when two dogs meet on the street and one yawns, it is a friendly greeting. It shows the other dog, “I want to be friends.” In this case, yawning is like a handshake between humans. Another interesting reason is that dogs can “catch” yawns from people they love. That means when owners yawn, their dogs may yawn, too. Scientists have found that dogs are more likely to catch yawns from people they feel close to, not from strangers. This shows a close relationship between dogs and their humans. Dogs can feel our emotions and react (作出反应) to them, just like close friends. In short, dog yawning is not only a simple action but also a way to communicate with us. By paying attention to when and where dogs yawn, we can better understand their health and feelings. For example, if a dog yawns during play or training, it might be a sign that it feels stressed or needs a rest. In that case, stopping for a break or using a gentle voice can help the dog feel safe again. Watching closely allows us to see when they are tired, nervous, or just trying to say hello. In this way, we can take better care of our furry (皮毛的) friends. 1．According to Paragraph 2, what is good about dogs’ yawning? A．It makes dogs run faster and jump higher. B．It wakes up dogs naturally in the morning. C．It relaxes muscles and increases blood flow. D．It takes oxygen from the brain and helps rest. 2．How does the writer support the idea in Paragraph 3? A．By giving examples. B．By asking questions. C．By listing numbers. D．By showing opinions. 3．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A．Dogs often sleep next to their owners to feel safe. B．Dogs become more active when they see strangers. C．Dogs copy their owners’ yawns to show closeness. D．Dogs use yawns to make friends with other animals. 4．What is the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． Countries around the world need to deal with the environmental and climate problems caused by rapid industrialization. This is necessary to protect the polar regions, which influence global climate through a number of processes. The Earth’s snow and ice covers are melting at more than twice the average rate because of global warming. As spring snow and summer sea ice cover decrease because of increasing human activity. As temperatures increase in the Arctic, icy soils in northern regions store less carbon, and the release of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). Global warming is changing the polar, because polar animals and plants are more sensitive to temperature rise. First, all the countries should have the same idea on working together to address climate change. Second, there should be an agreement on the fact that all countries’ right to carbon emissions (碳排放) is equal and users should bear the cost of carbon emissions from the products they use. Third, there should a global agreement saying consumers have the right to know and choose, and digital technologies should be used to control the carbon footprint of users. Fourth, a global agreement is needed to make sure developed and developing countries all shoulder their responsibilities for reducing carbon. Besides, stricter rules should be taken to better protect the fragile polar environment. It is necessary to pay more attention to the former’s environment and the Arctic should be well protected. The influence of human activity on the Arctic’s ecological environment should be reduced, by reducing mining, fishing and tourism as much as possible, limiting pollutant emissions. Especially, fishing should be banned. Countries around the Arctic Ocean must reduce land-based pollution and check the sources of environmental pollution, such as shipping emissions, ocean dumping and air pollution. The international community needs to cooperate more closely and deeply to protect the polar environment and ecology, and international organizations should provide financial and technological support to countries in the polar region to do research and set up a wide monitoring network. The North and South Poles have great research value, playing an important role in many fields including trade, sea channels and natural resources against the climate change. Polar regions, especially the Arctic, offer new development chances as well as risks. The Arctic belongs to the world and it is the international society’s responsibility to make sure of peace and development. In other words, all countries should join hands to protect the polar region’s environment to reduce the effects of climate change. 1．According to the passage, we know ________. A．the environmental and climate problems are being paid attention to by all the countries B．carbon emissions should be done by developed countries C．fishing should be banned around the world D．international organizations should provide financial and technological support to developing countries 2．According to the passage, which is TRUE? A．Global warming only happens in the polar regions. B．Countries around the Arctic Ocean must reduce air pollution. C．The business in the north pole areas doesn’t hurt the environment. D．Developing countries all shoulder their responsibilities for reducing carbon. 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．Countries around the world need to deal with climate problems. B．Human activity should keep away from the north pole areas. C．More and more people have realised that the polar regions are in danger and we are taking action. D．Only the countries around the polar regions should join hands to protect the polar region’s environment to reduce the effects of climate change. 4．The underlined part “fragile” means “________”. A．坚实的 B．有影响的 C．重要的 D．脆弱的 Long ago, in ancient China, there was a story about the invention of silk. People believed that silk was first invented by Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor. Leizu learned how to make cocoons (蚕茧) into soft and strong cloth—silk, and it was called “China’s Gold”. Following kings’ orders, the Chinese kept the secret of making silk for centuries. But something amazing happened. During the Han Dynasty, the brave officer Zhang Qian travelled west as far as Central Asia and brought silk there. As years passed, silk became so important that the trade road from China to Europe got its name—the Silk Road. From China, people sold silk and tea. In return, they received treasures such as spices (香料), gold and silver from the West. At the very beginning, it was mainly about trade; then people began to share ideas, technologies and cultures. For example, Chinese inventions like paper-making were spread to the West, while new ideas about math and science came to China. Most importantly, the Silk Road helped different cultures learn from each other. Art, music and even language were shared along this ancient road. In places like the Dunhuang Grottoes (敦煌石窟) in China, you can see how art pieces combined Eastern and Western styles into something distinctive. It cannot be seen anywhere else. The story of the Silk Road tells us how people from faraway lands could become friends through trade and shared ideas. Today, we remember the Silk Road as one of the greatest examples of cooperation (合作) and exchange in history. It shows us how important it is to learn about and respect each other’s traditions, and that different cultures can work together to create amazing things. 1．Who invented silk in ancient China? A．Leizu. B．The kings. C．Zhang Qian. D．The Yellow Emperor. 2．What was spread from China to the West according to paragraph 3? A．Silk and gold. B．Tea and paper-making. C．Spices and silver. D．New ideas of science. 3．What is the right order of the following facts from the passage? ①Zhang Qian travelled west with silk. ②Art and language were shared along the Silk Road. ③Traders from China and the West exchanged things. ④The Chinese were ordered to keep the secret of making silk. A．①→④→③→② B．①→③→④→② C．④→①→③→② D．④→③→②→① 4．What does the underlined word “distinctive” mean in paragraph 4? A．special. B．public. C．popular. D．strong. 5．What is the story of the Silk Road mainly about? A．The development of world trade. B．The introduction of silk cloth. C．The influence of technology on history. D．The importance of cross-cultural communication. ①On Sep. 23, 2025, a Chinese cargo ship started from Ningbo, cutting through the Arctic (北极) ice toward Europe. On the evening of Oct. 13, it arrived safely in the UK. This marked the opening of China’s Arctic shipping route (船运航线), a “Silk Road on Ice” that makes us all proud. ②Instead of taking traditional old routes, the ship went northeast through the Arctic. The trip took about 20 days. That’s 20 days shorter than going through the Suez Canal (苏伊士运河), and 30 days shorter than going around the Cape of Good Hope (好望角). The successful trip means a lot to Chinese. Not only does it show recent development of Chinese technology, but also it may bring big benefits (好处). ③To achieve this route, we’ve developed strong ships with special devices (装置). Among them, ICRs play an important role in providing early warnings of dangers at sea. ________ Also, if the lane (航道) is covered with thick ice our ships can’t avoid, they are strong enough to break it and keep moving. Besides, Beidou Navigation System (导航系统), developed independently by our own country, makes it possible for the ships to go in the right direction and travel safely. These technologies turn the once dangerous Arctic into a safe and valuable “golden waterway”. ④Besides, this new route has a lot of benefits. For business, faster shipping helps new products reach European markets much more quickly—especially products for the year-end holidays. The cold Arctic weather also saves money on cooling for high-value things like big power batteries (电池) on the way. For the environment, the shorter trip cuts down waste gas like CO2. What’s more, it avoids busy traffic problems on the waterway like the Suez Canal. ⑤Let’s see what Europeans said about the new route. A toy shop owner said, “The Chinese toys will be on sale next week. Last year, I had to wait over a month for holiday toys. This year, it’s much faster! We expect more tourists to travel here!” Another owner who runs a supermarket added, “Since there are more products arriving here, we need more workers to carry our products. But we’re happy to see that.” ⑥International media also reported on this new route. BBC said it would help China-Europe trade grow more. A Russian TV station noted it would make economic (经济的) relationship stronger between China, Europe and the world. ⑦This new route not only shows China’s new ideas in global trade, but also teaches us an important lesson: if we work together, we can find better and greener ways to solve problems. China is now planning to work with other countries to make the route safer and more convenient and help to make the world more connected. 1．Which of the following can be put in _________ in Paragraph 3? A．They will collect the weather information. B．They were invented by European scientists. C．They can help workers repair the broken parts of the ships. D．They can help the ships go safely around the ice mountains. 2．Who might get the most benefits from the new route according to the passage? A．Scientists studying the Arctic and ice. B．European shop owners selling products. C．Workers working in the Suez Canal. D．Chinese tourists traveling to Europe. 3．Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? A．B．C． D． 4．What will the writer probably discuss after the last paragraph? A．The challenges ships met in the Arctic in the past. B．The reasons why China develops the new route. C．The improvement of the new route in the future. D．The researches on the Arctic by European scientists. Have you ever looked at a cat’s face and wondered what it is thinking? A team of scientists from the University of California might have some answers. In a fascinating new study, researchers discovered that cats use 276 different facial expressions to show their feelings—far more than we have ever imagined! ①________ The scientists visited a local cat cafe in Los Angeles for over several months to observe (观察) 53 cats. They recorded 194 minutes of videos, carefully watching how the cats communicate with each other. Using a special system called FACS (Facial Action Coding System), which is normally used to study human expressions, they identified 26 unique facial movements in cats. These movements—like licking (舔) their nose, opening their mouth, or widening their pupils (the black part of their eyes)—combine in different ways to create all those expressions. They also found cats use 26 of these facial movements in total, which can be mixed to express how they are feeling. Dogs use 27 facial movements and humans use a total of 44. ②________ Out of the expressions they recorded, 45% were friendly and 37% were angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward while closing its eyes slowly—almost like a smile! However, an angry cat often flattens its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips,” said the team. ③________ Although the researchers aren’t sure what the cats were trying to communicate with each other using their faces, they plan to study cats in other places to improve their understanding. They also hope that the research could help animal shelters (收容所) improve the way they look after the cats. Some pet owners even suggest the researchers develop an app that scans a cat’s face to explain its mood—like a “cat translator”.

While the high-level skills and passion (热情) on the field were a major draw, the league’s true success came from its deep connection with the people. Unlike national leagues, Su Chao is based on city teams, which turns people’s local pride into strong support for the teams. The record-breaking crowd of over 61,000 fans for the Nanjing vs. Lianyungang match is a perfect example. They didn’t only cheer for great goals; they celebrated the never-give-up spirit of amateur (业余的) players who, like Liu Ye, never give up until the end. This local pride made the games more exciting. Fans cheered louder and felt more connected to their team, creating a wonderful atmosphere (氛围) in every match. Su Chao kept ticket prices low to make games affordable for everyone. Cities also provided excellent services for fans, including extra free public transportation, clean facilities (设施), and even delicious food or wonderful local performances.
