Have you ever heard of “plogging”? It is a new sport that started in Sweden. The name comes from the Swedish words “plocka upp” (pick up) and “jogging” (running). So, plogging means picking up litter while you are out jogging.
Plogging is very simple. All you need is a pair of running shoes, a recyclable bag, and a pair of gloves to protect your hands. As you run, you just bend down to pick up any trash you see, like plastic bottles, bags, or cans. It turns a normal run into a more meaningful activity. You are not only exercising your body but also helping the environment.
This eco-friendly trend is becoming popular all over the world. Many people are sharing their plogging photos and stories on social media. They organize plogging groups in their neighborhoods or parks. Some even make it a fun competition to see who can collect the most trash.
Why is it so great? First, it adds more movements to your run. When you stop, bend, squat (蹲下), and stretch to pick up things, you are using different muscles. It makes your workout more effective. Second, and more importantly, it gives you a strong sense of achievement. Seeing a clean path after your run makes you feel good. You know you’ve done something positive for your community and the planet.
So, next time you go for a run, why not take a bag with you? You can become a plogger and make your workout count in more ways than one.
( )16、What is “plogging”?
A. A new way to recycle at home.
B. An activity of picking up trash while running.
C. A competition of running in Sweden.
D. A trend of sharing photos on social media.
( )17、What is NOT needed for plogging according to the passage?
A. Running shoes. B. A recyclable bag.
C. A pair of gloves. D. Special sports clothes.
( )18、Why does the author think plogging is a more effective workout?
A. Because you run much faster.
B. Because you run with a group.
C. Because it uses different body movements.
D. Because you compete with others.
( )19、What does the underlined word “achievement” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. A feeling of being tired.
B. A feeling of having done something well.
C. A worry about the environment.
D. An interest in trying new sports.
( )20、What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce the history of jogging.
B. To compare different outdoor activities.
C. To encourage people to try plogging.
D. To explain how to protect our hands.

It was the day of the big city-wide middle school science fair. Amy had been working on her project—a model of a water purification (净化) system—for two months. She was proud of it but felt very nervous.
Before the judges came, she checked everything one last time. The bottles, the tubes, the clean and dirty water samples… wait! The bottle for the clean water was empty! She must have forgotten to fill it this morning. Her heart sank. The demonstration (演示) would be meaningless without showing the final clean water.
She looked around the busy hall. Everyone was busy with their own projects. She thought about giving up. Just then, her friend Sam from the next booth noticed her worried face. “What’s wrong, Amy?” he asked. After Amy explained, Sam thought for a moment. “I have an idea,” he said. He went back to his own project about plant growth. He took a bottle of distilled water (蒸馏水) he was using for his plants. “Will this work? It’s very clean.”
It was perfect! Amy was so thankful. With Sam’s water, her demonstration was a success. She even explained to the judges honestly about the little accident and how a friend helped her. In the end, Amy won a second-place prize. Sam didn’t win a prize, but Amy felt she couldn’t have done it without him.
After the fair, Amy gave the prize to Sam. “You deserve this more than I do,” she said. Sam smiled and pushed it back. “Your project won the prize, not mine. Helping you was my pleasure. Friends don’t help to get prizes.” That day, Amy learned that friendship and kindness are the most valuable prizes of all.
( )21、Why was Amy nervous at the beginning of the science fair?
A. Because she didn’t like science.
B. Because she was afraid of the judges.
C. Because she found a problem with her project.
D. Because her friend Sam was not there.
( )22、What was the problem with Amy’s project?
A. She forgot an important part of her demonstration.
B. Her model was broken.
C. The judges didn’t like her topic.
D. She didn’t understand her own project.
( )23、How did Sam help Amy?
A. He helped her fix her model.
B. He gave her some clean water for her demo.
C. He talked to the judges for her.
D. He helped her explain the project.
( )24、Why did Amy give her prize to Sam?
A. Because she thought Sam’s project was better.
B. Because the judges told her to do so.
C. Because Sam asked her for the prize.
D. Because she felt Sam’s help made her success possible.
( )25、What is the most important lesson Amy learned?
A. Always check your work carefully.
B. Winning a prize is the only goal.
C. Friendship and kindness are very valuable.
D. Distilled water is useful for science projects.

Last summer, I went to a summer camp for the first time. I felt both excited and nervous because I didn’t know anyone there.
On the first day, we played some team-building games. One game was about 26______ (build) the highest tower using only spaghetti (意大利面) and marshmallows (棉花糖). My team couldn’t agree 27______ each other at first. The tower kept 28______ (fall) down. Then, a girl named Emma had a good idea. She suggested that we 29______ (make) a strong base first. We followed her advice and finally built the 30______ (tall) tower in the camp! We cheered and high-fived.
After that, Emma and I became good friends. She was from a different city and was very good at 31______ (draw). She taught me how to sketch (素描) trees, and I taught her how to play frisbee (飞盘). We spent almost every hour of the camp together, talking and laughing.
On the last night, we sat by the campfire. I felt a little sad that the camp 32______ (be) over. Emma said, “Don’t be sad. This is not an end. We can keep in touch online.” She was right. Now, we video chat every weekend and share our lives. The summer camp gave me not 33______ wonderful memories but also a true friend. Sometimes, the best things in life come when you step out of your comfort zone and try 34______ (something) new. I’m so glad I 35______ (choose) to go to that camp.
四、阅读表达
阅读下面短文,根据要求完成各小题。
My name is Leo, and I have an unusual hobby — birdwatching. I started it two years ago when my grandfather gave me a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) and an old bird guidebook.
At first, I thought it was a hobby for old people. But one Saturday morning, Grandpa took me to a park. He pointed to a small bird with a red breast (胸膛). “That’s a robin (知更鸟),” he said softly. I looked through the binoculars and was amazed. I could see every little feather clearly! The bird was hopping on the grass, looking for worms. It was so lively and beautiful. At that moment, I was hooked.
Since then, I’ve spent many hours in parks, forests, and even by my window. I keep a notebook to record the birds I see — their names, colors, sounds, and behaviors. I have learned to be very patient and quiet. I’ve seen woodpeckers knocking on trees, swallows flying gracefully, and even an owl sleeping in a tree hole during the day.
My friends sometimes laugh at my hobby. They think it’s strange to just watch birds. But they don’t understand the excitement. It’s like a real-life treasure hunt. Every time I see a new kind of bird, it feels like winning a prize. More importantly, birdwatching has made me care more about nature. I realize how important it is to protect these beautiful creatures and their homes.
I hope more young people can put down their phones for a while and look up at the nature around them. You might discover a wonderful world that you never noticed before.

I’m Li Hua. It’s my great honor to share my healthy lifestyle with you today.
I believe a healthy body is the best treasure. First, I pay attention to my diet. I eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day and drink enough water instead of sugary drinks. Second, I exercise regularly. I run for half an hour every morning and play basketball with friends twice a week. It helps me stay energetic. Also, I go to bed before 10 p.m. and get up early to ensure enough sleep.
These habits make me feel stronger, happier, and more focused in class. I hardly ever catch a cold. A healthy lifestyle is not difficult to start. Let’s make small changes today, like choosing an apple over chips, or walking to school. You will feel the difference!
