Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an embarrassing silence. They all looked at the teachers. Mr. Li asked, “What were you trying to express?” Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.” “Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr. Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.” “Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai. They finally agreed. Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do.” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.” Kai was puzzled. What did she mean? “The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.” “Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?” “Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.” “Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?” “Exactly. Confucius believed that music was important for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.” “Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question. “Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?” “I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.” That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered. Then, he had an idea... 26. In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________. A. play the drums well B. work well with others C. express personal feelings D. show the guqin’s value 27. In what order did the following happen? a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai. b. The classmates kept a short silence. c. Kai asked for another chance to play. d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem. e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms. A. a-e-d-c-b B. e-b-d-c-a C. e-a-b-d-c D. a-b-d-e-c 28. What lesson has Kai learned from his experience? A. Strict rules will stop our creativity in music. B. Traditional instruments should be modernized. C. Creation requires us to understand the tradition first. D. The guqin is important for a well-rounded education. 29. What might we hear in Kai’s next show? A. Pop music in a traditional style. B. Folk music with local colour. C. Country music in a Western style. D. Rock music with drums and dizi. （B） Sunshine does make people happier. Imagine how cheerful you are when it clears up after long, cold, rainy days. Let’s discover the science behind sunlight. Sunlight causes you to produce a chemical (化学物质) called serotonin (血清素). When you are exposed to sunlight your body will make more serotonin. Higher levels of serotonin will keep you in good spirits. At night, when there is little or no light, your body produces another chemical—melatonin (褪黑激素). It helps your body relax and will make you feel tired, which can prepare you for a good night’s sleep. You should keep a good balance between these two chemicals. However, for many people, it is hard to balance sunlight with darkness. People who stay indoors a lot may not get enough sunlight. The light in a house is usually about 100 times less than that outside on a sunny day. That’s why it is believed that those people should get outside in the sunshine. They can get some exercise, enjoy the fresh air and be happy, all at the same time. There are places where it gets dark for a long time in the winter. People in those places are more likely to get seasonal affective disorder (SAD). People with SAD usually go through bad experiences, such as low energy and sadness. The most common treatment for those people is to sit under bright artificial (人工的) lights for some time. The roles that sunshine plays in people’s lives are more than those above. For example, your body produces Vitamin D (维生素D) from sunlight, which is important. In fact, there is more science about sunlight for you to discover. So next time, when you notice the sunshine on your shoulder, take a moment to think, “Why do we love sunshine?” 30. What does the underlined phrase “are exposed to” mean in the passage? A. stay in B. care about C. dream of D. depend on 31. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. What can help people to keep in good spirits. B. How light influences people through chemicals. C. Why melatonin can help people relax for a sleep. D Which chemical is thought to be more important. 32. Jack is a person with SAD. How can he solve his problem according to the passage? A. By staying indoors a lot. B. By taking in more fresh air. C. By doing some exercise. D. By using man-made lights. 33. Why is the sentence “Why do we love sunshine?” written in the last paragraph? A. To encourage readers to learn more about sunlight. B. To advise readers to stay in houses for enough time. C. To expect readers to realize the importance of Vitamin. D. To invite readers to walk into nature to enjoy the fresh air. （C） Hi, I’m Chief Editor of Youth Geographic. Have you noticed the sentence on the cover of our magazine saying “The best magazine for curious kids”? Curiosity is one of the best qualities you can have, in my opinion. Here in the office, we are always looking for things that make us say “I wonder...” I wonder how, what, why, who and if. When you look at something closely, you often discover amazing stories. On Page 10, researchers wonder why ants don’t have traffic jams. On Page 15, you’ll find stories about why giraffes have long necks. Scientists are listening to trees in whole new ways. Do you know “Wood Wide Web”? Scientists call this because it’s a bit like an internet for trees. You will find more on Page 30. Now I would like you to turn to Page 1. Scientists say it’s better to leave deadwood where it is. Strange? You may wonder... Youth Geographic June 2025 1 What happens when a tree dies and falls in a forest? People often think deadwood is bad because it attracts insects or animals that hurt living trees. However, recent studies suggest that this risk is low and that deadwood plays a key role in nature. Scientists say that dead trees provide homes for fungi (真菌), bacteria (细菌) and insects. As they break down the trees, nutrients (营养物质) are returned to the soil, which helps new plants grow. During this process, the insects also become food for other animals like birds and bats. What’s more, deadwood can help fight climate change by locking some carbon (碳) in the ground for over a century. However, deadwood is becoming less common all over the world now. Many forests have been turned into tree farms where trees are cut down before they die in a natural way. Some people also move away deadwood to lower the risk of fires or burn it in factories. Scientists believe it is better to leave deadwood where it is. 34. Who is the magazine Youth Geographic mainly for? A. Adults who will travel with kids. B. Adults who tell stories to kids. C. Kids who wish to discover nature. D. Kids who would like to keep fit. 35. What does the passage on Page 30 make people believe? A. Trees are ants’ ideal living place. B. Trees can communicate with each other. C. Trees provide giraffes with food. D. Trees can protect themselves wisely. 36. What conclusion do recent studies reach about deadwood? A. It should be left where it is. B. It turns forests into tree farms. C. It locks carbon for over a century. D. It helps trees die in a natural way. （D） Saturn (土星) is famous for its beautiful rings around it. Now, it’s getting attention for being even more amazing. Scientists have discovered 128 new moons around Saturn, bringing the planet’s total to 274. A moon is any naturally formed object that moves around a planet. Moons come in different shapes and sizes. Scientists discovered the moons with a powerful telescope, which is used to study stars and planets in great detail. Scientists took many photos of areas in space and piled them on top of each other to make the moons appear bright enough to discover. Most of Saturn’s new moons are small objects, just one or two miles wide—quite different from Earth’s Moon, which is a 2,159-mile-wide ball. These space rocks are in unusual orbits (轨道) too. They go around Saturn in the opposite direction to its own movement. Between 6.5 million and 18 million miles away from the ringed planet, the newly discovered moons are also further away than Saturn’s biggest moon, Titan. Why does Saturn have so many moons while Earth only has one? According to scientists, several billion years ago, the giant planet’s gravity attracted some rocks and ice. Over time, some of them crashed into each other, breaking into smaller pieces or coming together to create many small moons. The new moons were first discovered in 2023 by a team of scientists and were recently confirmed by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Saturn now is the planet with the most moons—Jupiter is far behind with 95. However, the team leader believes this might be the limit for moon discovery. “I don’t think Jupiter will ever catch up,” he said. “With present technology, I don’t think we can do better than what has already been done,” he added. 37. What do we know about the new discovery? A. Newly found moons look the same. B. Scientists found new moons by accident. C. Saturn’s rings attract many scientists. D. 128 new moons were found around Saturn. 38. What does the underlined phrase “the ringed planet” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Earth. B. Saturn. C. Moon. D. Titan. 39. What led to the large number of Saturn’s moons? A. The size of the planet. B. The weights of the moons. C. The orbit of the planet. D. The crashes of the captured rocks and ice. 40. What can we learn from the team leader’s words in the last paragraph? A. Jupiter will soon catch up with Saturn. B. Saturn’s new moons might support life. C. He is satisfied with their moon discovery. D. The IAU presented a medal to his team. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Professor Yang Chen-Ning is widely regarded as one of the most brilliant physicists of the 20th century, often mentioned together with Albert Einstein.
