These activities help us explore interests, make friends, and learn teamwork. However, a problem often arises: how do we balance these exciting activities with our academic responsibilities? Some students try to do everything. They join three clubs, play a sport, and still aim for perfect grades. Soon, they feel exhausted. Their homework suffers, and they miss out on simple joys like a quiet evening with family or an unplanned laugh with friends. Others choose to focus only on studies, avoiding all clubs. They might get excellent grades but miss the chance to discover a hidden talent or develop social skills. Finding balance is key. It’s not about doing less, but about doing what matters wisely. Start by choosing one or two clubs you truly love. Learn to manage your time: set aside specific hours for homework and stick to them. Remember, it’s okay to say “no” sometimes. A balanced life includes time for work, play, and rest. In the end, middle school is not just about achievements; it’s about growing as a whole person. 21. What may happen if a student tries to do lots of things at the same time? A. He may make more friends than others. B. He may feel very tired and his schoolwork may be affected. C. He surely cannot find a balance between these activities. D He will have no time to talk to his family. 22. The writer says middle school is about “growing as a whole person.” This probably means it is important to ________. A. get the best grades in your class B. be good both at study and in other ways C. spend most of your time on hobbies D. get busy with work and never rest 23. What can we learn from this passage? A. Joining clubs is the best way to make friends. B. Students should put their schoolwork before clubs. C. Trying different activities is more important than getting top grades. D. Learning to manage time is of great help. 24. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of finding a good balance in student life. B. How to choose the most useful clubs. C. The benefits of joining different school clubs. D. Why academic success should be the main goal for students. B Nowadays, many people read a lot every day, but fewer choose to read just for enjoyment. Surveys show that the number of adults finishing even one book a year is going down. Experts say this is partly because there are so many distractions around us. As Sam Helmick from the American Library Association explains, it takes more concentration to build a reading habit than many people can easily give. Why is reading for fun useful? There are clear benefits to reading for fun. Studies show that reading fiction can help people understand others’ feelings better and improve social skills. It can also make life more interesting. Craig Getting, a book podcast host, says fiction helps him see the world from new perspectives and stay open-minded. Even for people who like nonfiction, reading can often reduce stress and keep the brain healthy. So, why do people stop reading? One major reason is distraction. With TV shows, podcasts, and social apps everywhere, reading often loses out because other activities seem easier. Life changes, like starting a new school or moving houses, can also break reading routines. Another reason is the feeling that people should only read “important” books instead of what they truly like. ________: ·Try different types of books at the library and pick only the ones you like. ·Don’t make yourself finish a boring book. ·Start with short books or story collections. ·Join a book club or share book ideas with friends. ·Try audiobooks—they’re as good as printed books. ·Spend just ten minutes a day reading. Little by little, this can bring back the joy and peace that reading gives. 25. According to the passage, what do studies show about reading fiction? A. It makes people more distracted. B. It helps people understand others’ feelings better. C. It is only good for reducing stress. D. It is less useful than reading nonfiction. 26. Which sentence can be put in the ________. A. To become an expert reader quickly, follow these difficult rules B. Therefore, people should only read digital books in the future C. To restart reading, experts offer several ways D. However, most people never succeed in reading again 27. What does the underlined phrase “loses out” most likely mean: ________. A. wins a game B. becomes more popular C. is less chosen D. takes less time 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A Reading fiction is the only way to enjoy books. B. Many people stop reading for pleasure due to distractions and pressure, but there are simple ways to start again. C. Adults should read more books every year. D. Audiobooks are better than printed books. C A Chinese company makes an amazing flying car On Oct 12, a flying car soared (升空) over Dubai. The Chinese company Aridge (小鹏汇天) made it. How cool is that? Two in one The flying car’s name is Land Aircraft Carrier. It is the world’s first modular (模块化的) flying car. It means that the car and the aircraft (飞行器) can be separated (分离). The car is 5.5 meters long. The aircraft is kept in the back of the car. You can charge (充电) it when it is in the car. It takes only 18 minutes to charge from 30 percent to 80 percent. To make the car ready to fly, you only need to press one button (按钮). The car and aircraft can separate in five minutes. Easy to drive and fly The aircraft can take off and land vertically (垂直地).

The aircraft can fly for 30 minutes and up to 1,000 meters high. Ready to go The price of the flying car is under 2 million (百万) yuan. By now, Aridge already has more than 7,000 orders (订单) from around the world. In September, the flying car got permission (允许) to fly in the United Arab Emirates (阿联酋). FLYING CARS FROM AROUND THE WORLD The tech website Aerocrunch lists the best flying cars of 2025. Let’s take a look at two of them. ·US company Alef has made Model A. This flying car is fully electric (纯电动的). It uses less energy (能源) than most electric cars. It can take off and land vertically, like a helicopter. ·Dutch company Pal-V has made Pal-V Liberty.

D On a small and lonely island in the Pacific called Malden, people find something strange: many flat, heavy stones on the ground. On them, there is a carving of a person with a bird’s head and wings, called the “birdman.” These stones are a mystery from long ago. Western sailors first saw the stones in the 1800s. Later, a scientist named Dr. Eleanor Vance studies the island. She learns that Polynesian people once lived there in a small group with a leader. They have a special place for ceremonies, like a stone platform. Most birdman stones stand there. What does the birdman mean? One idea connects it to stories from other Polynesian places, like Easter Island. There, they have a “Birdman” competition every year. Dr. Vance thinks the Malden stones are part of a similar idea. Also, the carvings are not all the same. This might mean different stones are for different families or events. But another expert, Dr. Kenji Tanaka, has a different idea. He says we cannot just use the Easter Island story. The birdman on Malden Island looks different—it often stands very still, like a guard. Also, near some stones, there are other carvings of stars, waves, and boats. Dr. Tanaka thinks the birdman might be a symbol that connects different ideas. “Birds fly in the sky and travel far over the sea. People live on land,” he says. “The birdman is both. It could be a wise ancestor (祖先) who guides boats at sea. Or it could show how a leader must understand both his people and the powerful sea around them.” Why are the stones there? They are very heavy, so the work is difficult. Dr. Vance thinks they might mark land or remember important leaders. Dr. Tanaka thinks they are sacred objects, used in special ceremonies when boys become men. Carving the hard stone may be a way to show respect. The stones are still there today. They are like a book in a language we are still learning to read. They make us think about how those old people see their world on a small island in a very large ocean. 33. What is the most likely meaning of the underlined word “ceremonies” in the passage? A. special activities that follow old traditions. B. children’s games or plays. C. important public events or gatherings. D. buildings or houses of a group of people. 34. Which of the following correctly describes the two experts’ ideas in the text? A. Both experts believe the Bird-Man stones were made from other islands. B. Dr. Vance thinks the stones are similar to Easter Island’s tradition, while Dr. Tanaka looks for a broader meaning. C. Dr. Tanaka thinks the stones were used in different ways for different families. D. Both experts agree that the stones are meaningless carvings. 35. What can we infer from the passage? A. There was once a large city on Malden Island. B. All the Bird-Man carvings look the same. C. Dr. Tanaka’s ideas show the importance of the ocean environment to the islanders. D. The writer claims to have found the one correct answer to the mystery. 36. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Unknown Mystery of the Birdman Stone. B. Birdman’s Journey into the Ocean. C. Small Islanders’ World and Lives. D. Why Human Makes Stones for Ceremonies. E On September 6th, a very special event took place in the world of basketball: the Hall of Fame ceremony. This year, it honored one of the greatest players ever, LeBron James. What makes this so amazing is that LeBron is still playing in the NBA!

On the 85th day, he decides to sail (航行) into the deep, blue sea, hoping his luck will change. When he is in the middle of the sea, suddenly, he feels a strong pull on his fishing line. This time, he catches a huge marlin (马林鱼) —a fish that is even bigger than his boat! The fish is so strong that it starts to pull Santiago’s little boat back into the sea. A long fight begins. For two days and two nights, the old man holds onto the fishing line. “What a huge fish,” he thinks. Although feeling pain, he does not let go. But deep down he admires this beautiful creature, for he knows it has a strong will to live. Finally, after a long time, he is able to catch the giant marlin. He ties (系) the fish to the side of his boat and starts sailing home. But soon, sharks smell the blood of the big fish in the water. They come and attack (攻击). The old man fights them with his tools, but there are too many sharks. He can do nothing but to watch the sharks eat his beautiful fish. When he gets back to his home harbor (港口), all he can see is a huge white skeleton (骨头), tied to the boat. Everyone else thinks this old man is completely defeated. After all, he puts almost everything into catching the fish, and now it is gone. But only he knows that he does not give in. He knows he goes farther than any other fisherman and faces a challenge bigger than anything he has ever seen. Deep down in his heart, he believes that a man can be destroyed but not defeated. He walks back to his little house to sleep and dream, ready to fish again. 41. Why does Santiago admire the marlin during their fight? A. Because the marlin is helping him sail home. B. Because he has never seen a huge fish like this before. C. Because the marlin keeps him in pain. D. Because he respects the fish’s will to live. 42.

G You may think science is serious, but not at the Pineapple Science Award! It honors interesting findings in Science. Zhejiang Science and Technology Museum started this award in 2012. This year, the winners came out on Nov 22. We chose three to share with you. ________ When ants don’t have others nearby, they don’t work as hard! Scientists in Australia watched ants that make homes with leaves. They used fake (假的) leaves with force sensors (传感器) to see how strong the ants are when pulling leaves. After checking over 30,000 ants, they found that ants pulled really hard—103 times their body weight—when other ants were around. But when alone, they only pulled 60 times their weight. ________ Do you know what intermittent fasting (间歇性断食) is? It’s when you eat for only eight hours a day and don’t eat for the other 16 hours. Many people do it to lose weight. But scientists at Westlake University in China found that in mice, this kind of fasting can make special cells (细胞) in hair roots die. In other words, it will cause hair loss. ________ Guessing which hand is hiding a coin is a very popular magical trick. If you can’t guess right, the problem might be with your hands. Scientists in Singapore asked magicians to do this trick for jays (鸟类). The jays only guessed wrong 30 percent of the time, while humans guessed wrong 75 percent. Why? Magicians use hand movements to trick people, but jays don’t have hands, so they can’t be tricked, said the scientists. 45. According to the study, intermittent fasting might ________. A. be popular for losing weight B. make brain cells die C. cause hair loss problems D. help hair grow faster 46. Which of the following is the correct order of the subtitles for Paragraph 2, 3, and 4? ①Biology Award ②Medical Award ③Psychology Award A. ②—③—① B. ①—②—③ C. ③—①—② D. ①—③—② 47.

Many students eagerly join clubs: robotics, drama, sports, or art. These activities help us explore interests, make friends, and learn teamwork. However, a problem often arises: how do we balance these exciting activities with our academic responsibilities? Some students try to do everything. They join three clubs, play a sport, and still aim for perfect grades. Soon, they feel exhausted. Their homework suffers, and they miss out on simple joys like a quiet evening with family or an unplanned laugh with friends. Others choose to focus only on studies, avoiding all clubs. They might get excellent grades but miss the chance to discover a hidden talent or develop social skills. Finding balance is key. It’s not about doing less, but about doing what matters wisely. Start by choosing one or two clubs you truly love. Learn to manage your time: set aside specific hours for homework and stick to them. Remember, it’s okay to say “no” sometimes. A balanced life includes time for work, play, and rest. In the end, middle school is not just about achievements; it’s about growing as a whole person. 21. What may happen if a student tries to do lots of things at the same time? A. He may make more friends than others. B. He may feel very tired and his schoolwork may be affected. C. He surely cannot find a balance between these activities. D. He will have no time to talk to his family. 22. The writer says middle school is about “growing as a whole person.” This probably means it is important to ________. A. get the best grades in your class B. be good both at study and in other ways C. spend most of your time on hobbies D. get busy with work and never rest 23. What can we learn from this passage? A. Joining clubs is the best way to make friends. B. Students should put their schoolwork before clubs. C. Trying different activities is more important than getting top grades. D. Learning to manage time is of great help. 24. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The importance of finding a good balance in student life. B. How to choose the most useful clubs. C. The benefits of joining different school clubs. D. Why academic success should be the main goal for students. 【答案】21. B 22. B 23. D 24.

Their homework suffers”可知，他们会感到精疲力尽，学业也会受影响，故选B。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“A balanced life includes time for work, play, and rest.

Surveys show that the number of adults finishing even one book a year is going down. Experts say this is partly because there are so many distractions around us. As Sam Helmick from the American Library Association explains, it takes more concentration to build a reading habit than many people can easily give. Why is reading for fun useful? There are clear benefits to reading for fun. Studies show that reading fiction can help people understand others’ feelings better and improve social skills. It can also make life more interesting. Craig Getting, a book podcast host, says fiction helps him see the world from new perspectives and stay open-minded. Even for people who like nonfiction, reading can often reduce stress and keep the brain healthy. So, why do people stop reading? One major reason is distraction. With TV shows, podcasts, and social apps everywhere, reading often loses out because other activities seem easier. Life changes, like starting a new school or moving houses, can also break reading routines. Another reason is the feeling that people should only read “important” books instead of what they truly like. ________: ·Try different types of books at the library and pick only the ones you like. ·Don’t make yourself finish a boring book. ·Start with short books or story collections. ·Join a book club or share book ideas with friends. ·Try audiobooks—they’re as good as printed books. ·Spend just ten minutes a day reading. Little by little, this can bring back the joy and peace that reading gives. 25. According to the passage, what do studies show about reading fiction? A. It makes people more distracted. B. It helps people understand others’ feelings better. C. It is only good for reducing stress. D. It is less useful than reading nonfiction. 26. Which sentence can be put in the ________. A. To become an expert reader quickly, follow these difficult rules B. Therefore, people should only read digital books in the future C. To restart reading, experts offer several ways D. However, most people never succeed in reading again 27. What does the underlined phrase “loses out” most likely mean: ________. A. wins a game B. becomes more popular C. is less chosen D. takes less time 28. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Reading fiction is the only way to enjoy books. B. Many people stop reading for pleasure due to distractions and pressure, but there are simple ways to start again. C. Adults should read more books every year. D. Audiobooks are better than printed books. 【答案】25. B 26. C 27. C 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了如今成年人娱乐性阅读减少的现象，分析了背后的原因，最后为重新培养阅读习惯提供了几条简单实用的建议。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Studies show that reading fiction can help people understand others’ feelings better and improve social skills.”可知，阅读小说能够帮助人们更好地理解他人的感受，并提升社交能力，故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。空白处后文是六条具体的建议，旨在帮助人们重新开始阅读。因此，此处需要一个能引出这些建议的句子，C选项“要重新开始阅读，专家们给出了几种方法”符合，故选C。 【27题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“reading often loses out because other activities seem easier”可知，因为其他的活动似乎更容易，所以就很少人选择读书，划线部分单词与“is less chosen”词义接近，故选C。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“娱乐性阅读减少的原因”和“重新开始阅读的方法”这两个核心展开，所以B选项“多人由于分心和压力而停止了出于兴趣的阅读，但其实有一些简单的方法可以帮助重新开始阅读”最能概括本文中心思想，故选B。 C A Chinese company makes an amazing flying car On Oct 12, a flying car soared (升空) over Dubai.

On them, there is a carving of a person with a bird’s head and wings, called the “birdman.” These stones are a mystery from long ago. Western sailors first saw the stones in the 1800s. Later, a scientist named Dr. Eleanor Vance studies the island. She learns that Polynesian people once lived there in a small group with a leader. They have a special place for ceremonies, like a stone platform. Most birdman stones stand there. What does the birdman mean? One idea connects it to stories from other Polynesian places, like Easter Island. There, they have a “Birdman” competition every year. Dr. Vance thinks the Malden stones are part of a similar idea. Also, the carvings are not all the same. This might mean different stones are for different families or events. But another expert, Dr. Kenji Tanaka, has a different idea. He says we cannot just use the Easter Island story. The birdman on Malden Island looks different—it often stands very still, like a guard. Also, near some stones, there are other carvings of stars, waves, and boats. Dr. Tanaka thinks the birdman might be a symbol that connects different ideas. “Birds fly in the sky and travel far over the sea. People live on land,” he says. “The birdman is both. It could be a wise ancestor (祖先) who guides boats at sea. Or it could show how a leader must understand both his people and the powerful sea around them.” Why are the stones there? They are very heavy, so the work is difficult. Dr. Vance thinks they might mark land or remember important leaders. Dr. Tanaka thinks they are sacred objects, used in special ceremonies when boys become men. Carving the hard stone may be a way to show respect. The stones are still there today. They are like a book in a language we are still learning to read. They make us think about how those old people see their world on a small island in a very large ocean. 33. What is the most likely meaning of the underlined word “ceremonies” in the passage? A. special activities that follow old traditions. B. children’s games or plays. C. important public events or gatherings. D. buildings or houses of a group of people. 34. Which of the following correctly describes the two experts’ ideas in the text? A. Both experts believe the Bird-Man stones were made from other islands. B. Dr. Vance thinks the stones are similar to Easter Island’s tradition, while Dr. Tanaka looks for a broader meaning. C. Dr. Tanaka thinks the stones were used in different ways for different families. D. Both experts agree that the stones are meaningless carvings. 35. What can we infer from the passage? A. There was once a large city on Malden Island. B. All the Bird-Man carvings look the same. C. Dr. Tanaka’s ideas show the importance of the ocean environment to the islanders. D. The writer claims to have found the one correct answer to the mystery. 36. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Unknown Mystery of the Birdman Stone. B. Birdman’s Journey into the Ocean. C. Small Islanders’ World and Lives. D. Why Human Makes Stones for Ceremonies. 【答案】33. A 34. B 35. C 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了太平洋上名为马尔登的小孤岛上发现的神秘鸟人石，这些石头上刻有鸟头人身的图案，西方水手最早在19世纪发现它们，科学家对其展开研究，探讨了鸟人图案的含义以及石头存在的意义，展现了这些神秘石头背后的诸多谜团和不同专家的观点。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“She learns that Polynesian people once lived there in a small group with a leader. They have a special place for ceremonies, like a stone platform. Most birdman stones stand there.”可知，波利尼西亚人曾以小群体形式生活在那里且有领导者，有像石台这样用于某种活动的特殊地方，大多数鸟人石立在那里，结合常识推测“ceremonies”应是遵循古老传统的特殊活动。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One idea connects it to stories from other Polynesian places, like Easter Island. Dr. Vance thinks the Malden stones are part of a similar idea.”以及“But another expert, Dr. Kenji Tanaka, has a different idea. He says we cannot just use the Easter Island story. The birdman on Malden Island looks different...Dr. Tanaka thinks the birdman might be a symbol that connects different ideas.”可知，范斯博士认为这些石头和复活节岛传统类似，而田中博士则寻找更广泛的意义。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Dr. Tanaka thinks the birdman might be a symbol that connects different ideas. ‘Birds fly in the sky and travel far over the sea. People live on land,’ he says. ‘The birdman is both. It could be a wise ancestor (祖先) who guides boats at sea. Or it could show how a leader must understand both his people and the powerful sea around them.’”可知，田中博士认为鸟人可能是一个连接不同观念的象征，鸟能在天空和海上活动，人生活在陆地，鸟人兼具两者特点，可能是引导船只的智慧祖先，也可能体现领导者要理解人民和周围大海，这体现了海洋环境对岛民的重要性。故选C。 【36题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要围绕马尔登岛上神秘的鸟人石展开，介绍了石头的发现、不同专家对鸟人图案含义和石头存在意义的看法等，这些石头的谜团尚未完全解开，所以“The Unknown Mystery of the Birdman Stone.”（鸟人石的未知谜团）作为标题最合适。故选A。 E On September 6th, a very special event took place in the world of basketball: the Hall of Fame ceremony.

He lives by himself and has very bad luck, because he has not got any fish for the last 84 days. On the 85th day, he decides to sail (航行) into the deep, blue sea, hoping his luck will change. When he is in the middle of the sea, suddenly, he feels a strong pull on his fishing line. This time, he catches a huge marlin (马林鱼) —a fish that is even bigger than his boat! The fish is so strong that it starts to pull Santiago’s little boat back into the sea. A long fight begins. For two days and two nights, the old man holds onto the fishing line. “What a huge fish,” he thinks. Although feeling pain, he does not let go. But deep down he admires this beautiful creature, for he knows it has a strong will to live. Finally, after a long time, he is able to catch the giant marlin. He ties (系) the fish to the side of his boat and starts sailing home. But soon, sharks smell the blood of the big fish in the water. They come and attack (攻击). The old man fights them with his tools, but there are too many sharks. He can do nothing but to watch the sharks eat his beautiful fish. When he gets back to his home harbor (港口), all he can see is a huge white skeleton (骨头), tied to the boat. Everyone else thinks this old man is completely defeated. After all, he puts almost everything into catching the fish, and now it is gone. But only he knows that he does not give in. He knows he goes farther than any other fisherman and faces a challenge bigger than anything he has ever seen. Deep down in his heart, he believes that a man can be destroyed but not defeated. He walks back to his little house to sleep and dream, ready to fish again. 41. Why does Santiago admire the marlin during their fight? A. Because the marlin is helping him sail home. B.

We chose three to share with you. ________ When ants don’t have others nearby, they don’t work as hard! Scientists in Australia watched ants that make homes with leaves. They used fake (假的) leaves with force sensors (传感器) to see how strong the ants are when pulling leaves.

In other words, it will cause hair loss. ________ Guessing which hand is hiding a coin is a very popular magical trick. If you can’t guess right, the problem might be with your hands. Scientists in Singapore asked magicians to do this trick for jays (鸟类). The jays only guessed wrong 30 percent of the time, while humans guessed wrong 75 percent. Why? Magicians use hand movements to trick people, but jays don’t have hands, so they can’t be tricked, said the scientists. 45. According to the study, intermittent fasting might ________.
