(A)
Delia was a young pianist. Her husband, Joe, was a young artist. Each of them was taking lessons: Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. Their teachers were the very best, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but... when you love your art, nothing is too much.
But soon the money began to run out, and they couldn't afford the lessons any more.
Then one day Delia came back home and told Joe that she had met a man whose daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano, and he was going to pay her $50 an hour.
"Delia," Joe said, "I'll be much happier if you keep up your lessons." Delia said it didn't matter. "When I've had some money, I'll continue." But Joe also decided to stop his lessons, to draw pictures and sell them.
A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $200 from his pocket. "I met a man from Vermont," he said, "who bought one of my pictures. And he wants to buy more!"
. They didn't have to worry any more about money.
Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia's hand was wrapped in a bandage (绷带). He asked her what had happened. "Oh," said Delia. "My student, Sally, asked me to make some coffee for her. I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. Sally went straight to the drugstore and got this bandage for me."
"Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?" Joe asked. She tried not to tell him, but the tears came. "Oh Joe, I couldn't get any students, so I worked as a waitress in a restaurant. Today, I burned my hand with hot water. So I can't work any more. But we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won't we?"
Joe looked at her. "There's no man in Vermont," he said. "I've been working in a drugstore, and today someone came in to buy bandages for a woman whose hand was burned. So when I saw you, well, I guessed."
They both laughed.

3D printed organs
In the past, surgeons practiced on animals and fruit. But today, 3D printing is changing how surgeons learn.
Recently, a research team from the Lanzhou Institute of Chemical Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences has created 3D printed organs, including the brain, lungs and intestines. They used hydrogel (水凝胶), a soft material, as the "ink" for printing.
People found it hard to print the complex structures inside human organs before. It's also hard to control the organs' hardness. But the team has made breakthroughs in these two aspects. The printed organs are very close to real organs.
Human organs have different textures (质地), with our brains being the softest. The team added special elements to the hydrogel to create different textures for each organ. They also printed tiny holes and channels inside the organs. This will help medical students learn better.
Scientists also hope 3D printed organs can be used in organ transplants. Hydrogel cannot be used to do that because the human body will fight against it. But scientists are looking for other materials that can grow inside the human body. The first and only successful 3D printed organ used for transplant is a bladder, as the bladder is one of human's simplest organs. Experts expect that this technology will help more patients within a decade.
1. Hydrogel is compared to the "____" for 3D printed organs.
A. ink B. printer C. paper D. process
2. How did the research team make the printed organs close to real ones?
① By creating a new type of hydrogel.
② By adding elements to control the organs' textures.
③ By adding details after the organs are printed.
④ By printing the detailed structure of the organs.
A. ①② B. ②④ C. ①③ D. ②③④
3. What is the future direction for the research team?
A. To make 3D printed organs that can grow in the human body.
B. To find out which organs are as simple as the bladder.
C. To grow new organs from old organs.
D. To print organs that are as detailed as possible.

A Friend Who Changed Me
When I entered Grade 8, I was a shy girl who rarely spoke in class. I was afraid of making mistakes and being laughed at, so I always kept to myself. That changed when I met my deskmate, Lucy.
Lucy was an outgoing and kind-hearted girl. She noticed my shyness and never forced me to talk, but she always included me in group activities. One day, our teacher asked us to prepare a group speech. My group members were worried because I refused to speak. Lucy pulled me aside and said gently, "I know you're nervous, but your ideas are great. Let's practice together, and I'll stand next to you the whole time."
With her encouragement, I agreed to try. We practiced every afternoon after school. Lucy helped me correct my pronunciation and gave me confidence. On the day of the speech, I stood on the stage with Lucy beside me. When I finished, the class cheered loudly. That experience made me realize that I was capable of more than I thought.
Now, I am no longer the shy girl I used to be. I actively participate in class discussions and make many friends. I owe it all to Lucy - her kindness and patience helped me step out of my comfort zone.

The Importance of Reading
In the age of smartphones and short videos, many teenagers spend most of their free time on digital devices. They rarely pick up a book, thinking that reading is boring or useless. However, reading is one of the most valuable activities we can do.
Firstly, reading improves our language skills. When we read, we meet new words and sentence structures, which helps us write better and express ourselves more clearly. A study shows that students who read regularly score higher in English exams than those who don't.
Secondly, reading broadens our horizons. Books take us to different places, times and cultures without us leaving our homes. We can learn about ancient civilizations, space exploration or different ways of life through reading. This helps us understand the world better and become more open-minded.
Thirdly, reading reduces stress. Reading a good book allows us to escape from the pressure of daily life and relax our minds. It is a peaceful activity that calms our nerves and makes us feel more relaxed.
So, don't let digital devices take over your free time. Pick up a book today - it could be a novel, a biography or a science book. You will not only gain knowledge but also become a better person.
1. Why do many teenagers rarely read books?
A. They have no time to read. B. They think reading is boring.
C. They can't find good books. D. Their parents don't allow them to read.
2. Which benefit of reading is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Improving language skills. B. Broadening horizons.
C. Making more friends. D. Reducing stress.
3. What does the underlined phrase "broadens our horizons" mean?
A. Makes us more intelligent. B. Helps us see more of the world.
C. Makes us more confident. D. Helps us relax better.
4. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage teenagers to read more. B. To introduce different types of books.
C. To criticize teenagers for using smartphones. D. To show the results of a study on reading.

六、回答问题(共10分)
阅读下面短文,然后根据短文内容回答问题(不超过10词)。
The Power of a Simple “Thank You”
In today’s fast-paced world, we often forget to express our gratitude. However, a simple “thank you” can have a powerful impact. A recent study found that people who regularly express thanks are not only happier themselves but also make those around them feel valued and appreciated.
Take Mr. Johnson, a school bus driver, for example. Every morning, he greets each student with a warm smile. Most students just walk past silently, but one girl, Lily, always says, “Good morning, Mr. Johnson! Have a nice day!” This small act of kindness brightens his entire day. He once said, “Lily’s words remind me that my job matters.”
Similarly, at home, saying “thank you” to your parents for cooking dinner or helping with homework can strengthen your relationship. It doesn’t take much time, but it shows respect and care.
So, don’t underestimate the power of gratitude. Start today: thank your teacher for their hard work, your friend for their support, or even a stranger who holds the door open for you. You might just make someone’s day—and your own.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
2. How does Lily make Mr. Johnson feel?
3. According to the passage, what are two benefits of expressing thanks?
4. Where can we show our gratitude besides at school?
5. What does the writer suggest we do at the end of the passage?

All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They a____ (6) help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy (辛辣的) food. W____ (7) doing so, the food would be tasteless.

八、书面表达
In my life, the person who has influenced me most is my English teacher, Mr. Li.
Firstly, he always encourages me to face challenges bravely. When I struggled with grammar and vocabulary, he stayed after class to explain difficult points patiently. His clear examples helped me improve my grades from 60 to 90 in one semester.
Moreover, his positive attitude changed my view on life. Once, I failed a math test and felt discouraged. Mr. Li said, “Failure is just a step closer to success.” His words reminded me to stay confident and keep trying.
What’s more, he taught me the importance of kindness. He often volunteers to help underprivileged students, showing that small acts can make a big difference. Inspired by him, I now donate old books to rural schools every month.
Finally, I learned from Mr. Li that persistence and optimism are keys to success. He is not just a teacher but a role model who has shaped my values and made me a better person.
