Some trees are getting repeatedly hit by lightning over their lifetime. But why can they survive? Researchers don’t know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive. That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby, reducing competition. Dipteryx oleifera, a tree in Panama’s forests, has probably experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees were killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama’s forests have five strikes on average. But, you know, some of them obviously have a ton.” Evan Gora, a forest ecologist said. How long do these trees live in the forests? People can’t do tree ring dating in tropical forests because the trees don’t make continuous growth rings. Researchers guess many of the trees would be hundreds, or maybe even more than 1,000 years old. What can we learn from the study? The hardest things can turn into good things, can they? 1．Why can some large tropical trees survive lightning strikes? A．They’re not often hit by lightning. B．The neighboring trees protect them. C．The lightning energy moves away from them. 2．What may happen after the large trees are hit by lightning? A．They win better living conditions. B．They have more neighbors around. C．They can stand more kinds of danger. 3．What does the tree Dipteryx oleifera look like? A．Old and weak. B．Huge and tall. C．Clean and thin. 4．Why can’t people tell the exact age of the large trees hit by lightning? A．The weather there is terrible. B．People don’t have proper tools. C．Continuous growth rings can’t be found. 5．Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A．Health. B．Nature. C．Technology. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了热带大型树木如何在被雷击后幸存并从中受益的研究发现。 1．细节理解题。根据“However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive. That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them.”可知，导电性强的树能将雷电能量传导给周围的树，从而减少自身受到的伤害。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby, reducing competition.”可知，雷击清除寄生藤蔓并减少竞争，为这些树创造了更好的生存条件。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height.”可知，Dipteryx oleifera的特点是高大。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“People can’t do tree ring dating in tropical forests because the trees don’t make continuous growth rings.”可知，热带树木没有连续的年轮，因此无法准确测定年龄。故选C。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文围绕热带树木与雷击的生态关系展开，属于自然科学范畴。故选B。 Have you ever looked at a cat’s face and wondered what it is thinking? Well, according to a new study, cats have many different facial expressions, which show how they are feeling. The research was carried out by the scientists at the University of California, in the US. They visited a local cat café over several months to record videos of 53 cats, collecting 194 minutes of videos. They found that the cats have 276 different expressions. “Each expression was a mixture of lip different facial movements, which included licking (舔) their nose, opening their mouth, or widening the pupils of their eyes,” said the scientists. 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. Out of the expressions they recorded, 45% were friendly and 37% were angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward and closes its eyes. However, an angry cat often flattens its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips,” said the team. 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 for them to find out what their cats’ facial expressions really mean. 1．Which of the following uses the most facial movements? A．Humans. B．Dogs. C．Cats. 2．Which picture shows a cat’s angry expression? A． B． C． 3．What might the scientists do next? A．Use an app to study cats’ expressions. B．Build an animal shelter to look after cats. C．Keep on studying to know more about cats. 4．How does the writer develop the text? A．By giving numbers and choices. B．By showing examples and results. C．By presenting opinions and facts. 5．What’s the writing purpose of the text? A．To call on people to love cats more. B．To introduce a new study about cats. C．To tell readers why the team did the research. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于猫咪面部表情的研究。该研究指出了猫咪的面部动作数量以及不同的面部表情代表的不同情绪。 1．细节理解题。根据“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.”可知，猫使用26种面部动作，狗使用27种面部动作，人类共使用44种，故人类使用面部动作最多。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“However, an angry cat often flattens its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips”可知，一只生气的猫通常会把耳朵贴在头上，瞳孔变小，舔嘴唇，故选项C中的猫咪作出了“生气”的表情。故选C。 3．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，研究人员不确定猫如何使用面部表情进行交流，他们计划继续研究猫的表情。故推知科学家们接下来会继续学习，了解更多关于猫的知识。故选C。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了一项关于猫面部表情的研究，研究中记录了多只猫的多种面部表情，研究人员对此作出了解释。故作者通过阐述实例以及结果的方式发展本文。故选B。 5．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了一项关于猫咪面部表情的研究，文章的目的是为了介绍这一项新的研究。故选B。 【热点话题练习】 Zigong, in Sichuan Province, is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lanterns are known as the best lanterns in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team; for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography(全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s hearts. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．Which is the reason why Du Fu could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A．He was a poet of the Tang Dynasty when the Zigong Lantern Festival began. B．He preferred traditional arts from Sichuan Province. C．He was known for writing about modern technologies in lanterns. 2．Which is correct about Paragraph 2? ①It’s hard for makers to complete a huge lantern for exhibition. ②Holography is a kind of traditional technology. ③The workers of Zigong lantern-making work together in a team. ④Zigong lanterns are different from the lanterns in other places. A．①②③ B．①③④ C．②③④ 3．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The modern technologies used in Zigong lanterns. B．The history of how Zigong lantern themes developed. C．The rich themes of Zigong lanterns and their cultural meaning. 4．What is the main purpose of the government encouraging local people to learn lantern-making widely? A．To increase the number of lantern makers for international exhibition orders. B．To improve the traditional lantern-making skills by more people’s practice. C．To spread Zigong lantern culture further to the world. 5．What is the best structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2...) A． B． C． 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文介绍了四川自贡灯会的历史起源、制作工艺、主题特色与全球传播，展现了这一国家级非物质文化遗产如何结合传统与现代技术，成为中国文化走向世界的闪亮名片。 1．细节理解题。根据“The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty.”可知，自贡灯会追溯到唐代，杜甫是唐代诗人，A项表述正确。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography(全息摄影术).”可知，全息摄影术是现代科技，不是传统技术，②错误；根据“Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps,”和“took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process”可知，制作需17道工序、80人耗时50天，说明难度大，①正确；根据“Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,”可知，自贡灯笼制作工人们以团队形式共同工作，③正确；根据“Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI,”可知，自贡彩灯与其他地区的灯不同，④正确。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可知，第三段围绕“彩灯主题的多样性”展开，说明主题选择多元且蕴含文化内涵。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely...Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.”可知，自贡灯会是中华文化走向世界的名片，且彩灯已远销80多国，可推断，政府鼓励当地人广泛学习彩灯制作的主要目的是传播文化。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。根据文章内容可知，第一段总起，介绍自贡彩灯的地位、历史与文化价值；第二段讲制作工艺与现代科技（分论点1）；第三段讲主题多样性与文化内涵（分论点2）；第四段介绍了政府的大力支持以及人们对自贡灯笼前景的展望。所以本文是“总—分—总”结构。故选A。 You might notice that some foods are named after places—for example, Pu’er tea and Nanjing salted duck. These are the “birthplaces” of these foods. In fact, a product’s birthplace is very important. It’s about the quality. An agreement between China and European Union (EU) started to work in 2021. It listed the names of products and their birthplaces. They are called geographical indications (GIs, 地理标志). Which products can get GIs? Farm products, food, wine, handicrafts, and industrial products can get GIs. On the first GI list, there are food, farm products, wine and tea. On the next list, there would be some Chinese cultural products, such as Shu Embroidery (蜀绣) and Xuan paper. How many products are on the GI list? In 2023, two hundred products from China and EU countries were on the list. As planned, a new list would come out in 2025, and there would be 350 GIs by the end of that year. How will the agreement help us? It is good for both shoppers and companies. People can buy high-quality products based on the GIs. They don’t have to worry if they are fake. Companies can sell more products to other countries. Some products are only popular in China. Now they might become popular in Europe. This will also promote business between China and Europe. Look at some products on the GI listWuchuan mooncakes Wuchuan in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, is the birthplace of mooncakes. It has 39 national mooncake brands (品牌). Mooncakes there are large with thin wrappers (薄皮) and rich fillings. Each mooncake is as heavy as 3 kg. They have many kinds of tastes. Zhecheng hot peppers Zhecheng county in Henan is famous for planting peppers. Each year, it sells more than 50,000 tons of hot peppers. Danish Blue It is a kind of cheese from Denmark.

Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages (优点). They use computers with many cameras which can sense all the objects close to the car and give the computers another route (路线). Then the car can take people to the places where they want to go. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. It’s reported that self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．In which cities can we see driverless taxis recently? A．Nanjing, Hangzhou and Suzhou. B．Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. C．Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. 2．What is the main cause of car accidents according to the passage? A．Bad weather. B．Car trouble. C．Human error. 3．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. B．Why human drivers are important. C．How to deal with traffic accidents. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Self-driving cars have caused many problems. B．Self-driving cars are already commonly seen in the world. C．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common. 5．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Culture. B．Travel. C．Science. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国在自动驾驶出租车方面的新进展，探讨了自动驾驶汽车的优势（如帮助残障人士、减少事故）和不足（如应对突发状况和恶劣天气的能力有限），并指出中国在推动该技术发展方面的领先地位。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.”可知，最近在武汉、重庆和深圳可以看到无人驾驶出租车。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“The main cause of car accidents is human error.”可知，根据文章，交通事故的主要原因是人为失误。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。第四段以“But self-driving cars aren’t perfect.”开头，接着阐述了它们应对突发状况反应不够快、在恶劣天气下可能识别不清道路以及系统可能被黑客攻击等缺点。因此，本段主要讲自动驾驶汽车的弱点。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen.”可知，中国正在努力使自动驾驶汽车变得更安全、更普及。故选C。 5．推理判断题。文章围绕自动驾驶技术这一科技话题展开，因此最可能出现在杂志的“科学”板块。故选C。 In Singapore, primary and high school students are required to take outdoor-skill courses as an important part of their education. These courses, which last three to five days, involve different activities. Students can experience rope (绳索) and rock climbing, camp in tents at night, go on long walks in forests, and learn how to make a fire. Although there are risks in these courses, they offer important training in life skills. But the question remains: Are these courses really necessary? Cindy, a Singaporean student who has taken part in outdoor survival (生存的) courses, shares her thoughts. She says that these courses teach practical survival skills. For example, she has learned how to find drinking water and food using a map and compass, “to find the way, and keep herself safe.” “What’s more important,” she adds, “is that through these activities, I’ve built my character and made me stronger, braver, and built up the courage. Now, the needle, just like a compass, more meaningful. The courses have made me understand the real meaning of teamwork.” An education expert also points out that outdoor courses help students develop critical thinking (批判性思维) and communication skills. While textbooks provide knowledge, some lessons—like leadership and problem-solving—are best learned through action. Now, students take the courses in groups from their own schools. However, next year, they will be grouped with students from different schools. What makes this change happen? Good communication skills are highly needed in today’s world. Working closely with students from different backgrounds is an excellent way to improve these skills. 1．Why do schools in Singapore give outdoor courses? A．To provide training in life skills. B．To offer different activities. C．To introduce knowledge of forests. 2．What has Cindy learned from the outdoor survival courses? ①Ways of finding directions. ② The importance of teamwork. ③ Ways of improving her grades. A．①② B．①③ C．③④ 3．What can we infer according to the expert? A．Textbooks can provide more information for students. B．Outdoor activities are suitable for Singaporean students. C．Students can learn something different through different ways. 4．Which question does paragraph 4 mainly answer? A．When can students work closely with each other? B．Why do changes need to come with different people? C．What changes can the different courses bring to students? 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Outdoor courses in different countries. B．Helpful outdoor courses in Singapore. C．The future changes in outdoor courses. 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文主要探讨了新加坡中小学将户外技能课程作为教育重要组成部分的原因、其价值（如教授生存技能、塑造品格、培养批判性思维和沟通能力）以及未来的调整方向。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Although there are risks in these courses, they offer important training in life skills.”可知，新加坡学校开设户外课程是为了提供生活技能方面的训练。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段Cindy的分享“she has learned...how to use a map and compass, ‘to find the way’”，对应①；“the real meaning of teamwork”，对应②。文中未提及提高成绩的方法。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段专家观点“While textbooks provide knowledge, some lessons...are best learned through action.”可知，专家认为有些课程（如领导力、解决问题）通过行动学习效果最好，即学生可以通过不同的方式学到不同的东西。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。第四段解释了为何明年课程要将不同学校的学生分组：“Good communication skills are highly needed...Working closely with students from different backgrounds is an excellent way to improve these skills.” 这回答了“为什么需要与不同的人一起进行改变？”这一问题。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕新加坡户外课程的设置、意义、学生收获以及未来改进展开，强调其有益性，因此“新加坡有益的户外课程”是最佳标题。故选B。 Do you often say things like “I don’t understand this math problem”? Maybe you can introduce yourself to the magic of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I don’t understand this math problem yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. One school found that there were some problems of the old pass or fail system (系统), especially for those students who didn’t pass. They usually felt upset. So now students who don’t pass the exams will see “Not yet” instead of a big red “F” on their papers. In this way, the students feel like they are on a journey. They just haven’t reached the end yet, but they know they are on the right way. This kind of thinking is part of “a growth mindset (成长心态)”. People with a growth mindset aren’t too nervous if they don’t get things right at first. They enjoy challenges and believe in themselves. Instead, people who just focus on (专注于) failure have “a fixed mindset (固定心态)”. These people are always worried about results. Obviously, it is much better to have a growth mindset. But don’t worry if you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Don’t question yourself. Stop believing that you can’t. Once you start thinking like this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s a small but very powerful word. 1．Why does the writer begin the text with a question? A．To show some events. B．To make a survey. C．To introduce the theme. 2．What is the new reply to students who don’t pass exams? A．A big red “F”. B．A “Not yet”. C．A red “failed”. 3．According to the passage, people with a growth mindset _________. A．think they are always right B．aren’t upset if they get things incorrect at first C．always focus on the right things 4．Which word has the similar meaning to the underlined word “Obviously” in Paragraph 3? A．Clearly. B．Especially. C．Simply. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Power of “Yet” B．Two Different Mindsets C．On the Way to Success 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了“yet”这个词的魔力以及成长心态的重要性。通过改变语言表达方式，可以激发学生的积极心态，鼓励他们在学习过程中保持信心和动力。 1．细节理解题。根据文章开头“Do you often say things like ‘I don’t understand this math problem’? Maybe you can introduce yourself to the magic of ‘yet’.”可知，作者通过提问引出“yet”的魔力这一主题。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“students who don’t pass the exams will see ‘Not yet’ instead of a big red ‘F’ on their papers”可知，未通过考试的学生现在会看到“Not yet”而非“F”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“People with a growth mindset aren’t too nervous if they don’t get things right at first”可知，拥有成长心态的人不会因初次失败而过度紧张。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。划线词“Obviously”在第三段末尾，前文对比了两种心态的特征，并指出成长心态明显更好。根据上下文逻辑，此处表示“显然地、明显地”，与“Clearly”同义。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。全文围绕“yet”的积极影响展开 (如改变语言表达、培养成长心态)，且多次强调其“魔力”和“力量”。因此，“The Power of ‘Yet’”最能概括主旨。故选A。 Sometimes, using hand gestures (手势) can bring more information and be more easily understood than words, especially when you are speaking to someone with no language in common. But the same gesture can mean something quite impolite and offensive (冒犯的) to a person from a different cultural background. In many countries, if you have your index and middle fingers pointed up in the “V” shape, it stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward instead of inward, because showing people the back of your hand is impolite in some countries like the UK and Australia. Finger Snap (打响指) Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten. While in Latin America, snapping them means asking one to hurry up. But one thing you should remember is that, in many cultures, the snapping fingers close to someone’s face is considered to be an impolite gesture. Thumbs up In most parts of the world, the thumbs-up sign means the same thing. You are basically saying that “Everything is OK” or showing your agreement. But you’d better not use it in the Middle East or West Africa because it is considered to be highly impolite. 1．Which of the following situations might be the right time for the “V” shape? A．Your friend fails a test. B．You want to ask someone to hurry up. C．You win a speech competition. 2．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to? A．Thumb and middle finger. B．Thumb and index finger. C．Thumb and pinky. 3．Which of the following gestures is not mentioned? A． B． C． 4．From the passage we can know that ________. A．“V” shape sign means reminding someone of something forgotten B．you can use thumbs-up sign to show your agreement in West Africa C．snapping fingers close to someone’s face may be impolite 5．The writer mentioned so many different hand gestures to ________.

It has become a symbol of Chinese culture and is worn by women around the world. The cheongsam hugs the curves (曲线) of the body and is mostly made of silk or cotton. It’s typical with a high collar (领), short sleeves (袖) and a short cut on the side of the skirt to make movement easy. The cheongsam was first worn by wealthy women in Shanghai as a way to show their social positions and wealth. But it quickly became popular among all classes of women as daily clothes. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam experienced changes and became fitter and better designed with fashionable elements (元素). Nowadays, designers are creating new styles to follow modern fashion. Today, the cheongsam is often worn for formal situations such as ceremonies (典礼), celebrations and cultural events in China. One of the most popular looks of the cheongsam is that of Anna Wong, a Chinese famous movie star. She often wears cheongsams on and off screen.

It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain (连锁), he found most of its dishes were pre-made but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments. What exactly are pre-made dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packed foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients without preservatives (防腐剂). They go through factory processing, like mixing, frying or boiling, and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-made. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this group. That’s why Xibei said its dishes weren’t pre-made. Pre-made dishes have both advantages and disadvantages. Upsides Downsides ★Some stores can’t use fire or cook meat easily, so pre-made foods are safer. ★Pre-made products save time, cut costs and make service faster. ★Small restaurants may not keep pre-made dishes properly, leading to safety risks. ★Some workers heat pre-made dishes in dirty places, making people think pre-made means low quality. To fix the problems, the government is taking action. China’s new standard for pre-made dishes will soon ask for public ideas. Experts say transparency (透明度) is the key. Restaurants must tell customers clearly if they use pre-made dishes. Later, Luo said he wasn’t against pre-made dishes and he even chose them when he’s busy. He just thinks people have the right to know what they eat. 1．What made pre-made dishes draw wide attention? A．An influencer’s words. B．Their good taste. C．Their low cost. 2．Which are NOT pre-made dishes? A．Pre-packed fried meat. B．Roast duck from central kitchens. C．Factory-processed steamed mutton. 3．Why do restaurants use pre-made dishes? A．Higher quality. B．Fresher than homemade. C．Lower cost and time-saving. 4．What is the government doing? A．Stopping pre-made dishes. B．Making safety rules for them. C．Punishing Xibei for its dishes. 5．What is the text mainly about? A．Luo Yonghao’s influence. B．Problems of pre-made dishes. C．The discussion on pre-made dishes. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文主要围绕中国预制菜引发的公众讨论展开，介绍了预制菜的定义、优缺点，以及政府针对预制菜问题采取的行动。 1．细节理解题。根据“It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. ...

There, he can pick tangerines (橘子) and dig up sweet potatoes, and he doesn’t have to worry about homework at all. Other students also have great plans: one will go to his grandparents’ home to learn how to pick and process tea, another who loves the local dialect (方言) will learn Tujia folk songs from his grandparents and make a small “dialect music album”, and a group of classmates will visit the nearby Xingdoushan National protected area to observe migratory birds and plants and write a simple report. Teachers and parents all welcome this new holiday. Xiao Junling, a teacher at Chen’s school, said these activities have local features and let students learn through real experiences, turning hard-to-touch textbook knowledge into something they can feel in daily life.

Many people now prefer products and companies that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led large companies to change their business. Before, customers used cheap plastic (塑料的) bags to buy local products, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for customers. This cause less waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another. To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to reduce the need for oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage. They are cheaper to run and people don’t have to worry about oil prices. The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They produce less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of planes which use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly. Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as environmentally friendly as the businessmen say. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

And the novel may also be adapted into related musical works in the future. This TV show tells a story during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, to please a beauty, Yang Yuhuan, Emperor Xuanzong ordered people to take fresh lychees from Lingnan (today’s Guangdong) to Chang’an. Today, this may sound easy. In the ancient times, however, it was a near-impossible work: lychees went bad within 3 days, while the journey covered over 5,000 li (about 2,500 kilometres) across mountains and rivers. Li Shande, an unlucky person in Chang’an, was chosen to be responsible (负责任的) for the work. Although he knew how difficult the work was, he didn’t want to give up. He studied maps, tested routes, and did a lot more. To keep the fruit fresh, he made some bottles with some ice, and then he put the lychees in them. He also created a tool to record progress, marking each station with red color. Within 11 days, Li magically succeeded. When the lychees finally arrived, their sweet smell brought joy to the palace.

Some trees are getting repeatedly hit by lightning over their lifetime. But why can they survive? Researchers don’t know for sure. However, they think that trees will be heated less if they’re more conductive. That means the energy from lightning is just moving to their neighbors, instead of staying in them. The lightning’s strong power kills the parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) on the trees. It also kills some other trees nearby, reducing competition. Dipteryx oleifera, a tree in Panama’s forests, has probably experienced 10 lightning strikes so far. It stays safe and sound, while most of the neighboring trees were killed. If you are in the forest where it is, you’ll know what it is—its huge size and height. “We believe the trees in Panama’s forests have five strikes on average. But, you know, some of them obviously have a ton.” Evan Gora, a forest ecologist said. How long do these trees live in the forests? People can’t do tree ring dating in tropical forests because the trees don’t make continuous growth rings. Researchers guess many of the trees would be hundreds, or maybe even more than 1,000 years old. What can we learn from the study? The hardest things can turn into good things, can they? 1．Why can some large tropical trees survive lightning strikes? A．They’re not often hit by lightning. B．The neighboring trees protect them. C．The lightning energy moves away from them. 2．What may happen after the large trees are hit by lightning? A．They win better living conditions. B．They have more neighbors around. C．They can stand more kinds of danger. 3．What does the tree Dipteryx oleifera look like? A．Old and weak. B．Huge and tall. C．Clean and thin. 4．Why can’t people tell the exact age of the large trees hit by lightning? A．The weather there is terrible. B．People don’t have proper tools. C．Continuous growth rings can’t be found. 5．Which part of the newspaper is this text taken from? A．Health. B．Nature. C．Technology. Have you ever looked at a cat’s face and wondered what it is thinking? Well, according to a new study, cats have many different facial expressions, which show how they are feeling. The research was carried out by the scientists at the University of California, in the US. They visited a local cat café over several months to record videos of 53 cats, collecting 194 minutes of videos. They found that the cats have 276 different expressions. “Each expression was a mixture of lip different facial movements, which included licking (舔) their nose, opening their mouth, or widening the pupils of their eyes,” said the scientists. 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. Out of the expressions they recorded, 45% were friendly and 37% were angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward and closes its eyes. However, an angry cat often flattens its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips,” said the team. 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.

The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. “Making a huge lantern for exhibition (展览) requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker,” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team; for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography(全息摄影术). They are perfect combinations (结合) of lights, sounds and movements. What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s hearts. The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, at the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．Which is the reason why Du Fu could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns?

A． B． C． You might notice that some foods are named after places—for example, Pu’er tea and Nanjing salted duck. These are the “birthplaces” of these foods. In fact, a product’s birthplace is very important. It’s about the quality. An agreement between China and European Union (EU) started to work in 2021. It listed the names of products and their birthplaces. They are called geographical indications (GIs, 地理标志). Which products can get GIs? Farm products, food, wine, handicrafts, and industrial products can get GIs. On the first GI list, there are food, farm products, wine and tea. On the next list, there would be some Chinese cultural products, such as Shu Embroidery (蜀绣) and Xuan paper. How many products are on the GI list? In 2023, two hundred products from China and EU countries were on the list. As planned, a new list would come out in 2025, and there would be 350 GIs by the end of that year. How will the agreement help us? It is good for both shoppers and companies. People can buy high-quality products based on the GIs. They don’t have to worry if they are fake. Companies can sell more products to other countries. Some products are only popular in China. Now they might become popular in Europe. This will also promote business between China and Europe. Look at some products on the GI listWuchuan mooncakes Wuchuan in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, is the birthplace of mooncakes. It has 39 national mooncake brands (品牌). Mooncakes there are large with thin wrappers (薄皮) and rich fillings. Each mooncake is as heavy as 3 kg. They have many kinds of tastes. Zhecheng hot peppers Zhecheng county in Henan is famous for planting peppers. Each year, it sells more than 50,000 tons of hot peppers. Danish Blue It is a kind of cheese from Denmark. It is made from cow’s milk. People make it in caves. You can see blue streaks (条纹) in it.

Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages (优点). They use computers with many cameras which can sense all the objects close to the car and give the computers another route (路线). Then the car can take people to the places where they want to go. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. It’s reported that self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．In which cities can we see driverless taxis recently? A．Nanjing, Hangzhou and Suzhou. B．Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. C．Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. 2．What is the main cause of car accidents according to the passage? A．Bad weather. B．Car trouble. C．Human error. 3．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. B．Why human drivers are important. C．How to deal with traffic accidents. 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Self-driving cars have caused many problems. B．Self-driving cars are already commonly seen in the world. C．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common. 5．In which part of a magazine can you read this passage? A．Culture. B．Travel. C．Science. In Singapore, primary and high school students are required to take outdoor-skill courses as an important part of their education. These courses, which last three to five days, involve different activities. Students can experience rope (绳索) and rock climbing, camp in tents at night, go on long walks in forests, and learn how to make a fire. Although there are risks in these courses, they offer important training in life skills. But the question remains: Are these courses really necessary? Cindy, a Singaporean student who has taken part in outdoor survival (生存的) courses, shares her thoughts. She says that these courses teach practical survival skills. For example, she has learned how to find drinking water and food using a map and compass, “to find the way, and keep herself safe.” “What’s more important,” she adds, “is that through these activities, I’ve built my character and made me stronger, braver, and built up the courage. Now, the needle, just like a compass, more meaningful. The courses have made me understand the real meaning of teamwork.” An education expert also points out that outdoor courses help students develop critical thinking (批判性思维) and communication skills. While textbooks provide knowledge, some lessons—like leadership and problem-solving—are best learned through action. Now, students take the courses in groups from their own schools. However, next year, they will be grouped with students from different schools. What makes this change happen? Good communication skills are highly needed in today’s world. Working closely with students from different backgrounds is an excellent way to improve these skills. 1．Why do schools in Singapore give outdoor courses? A．To provide training in life skills. B．To offer different activities. C．To introduce knowledge of forests. 2．What has Cindy learned from the outdoor survival courses? ①Ways of finding directions. ② The importance of teamwork. ③ Ways of improving her grades. A．①② B．①③ C．③④ 3．What can we infer according to the expert? A．Textbooks can provide more information for students. B．Outdoor activities are suitable for Singaporean students. C．Students can learn something different through different ways. 4．Which question does paragraph 4 mainly answer? A．When can students work closely with each other? B．Why do changes need to come with different people? C．What changes can the different courses bring to students? 5．Which can be the best title for the passage? A．Outdoor courses in different countries. B．Helpful outdoor courses in Singapore. C．The future changes in outdoor courses. Do you often say things like “I don’t understand this math problem”? Maybe you can introduce yourself to the magic of “yet”. By adding this simple word, you can change everything. “I don’t understand this math problem yet.” Suddenly, the impossible becomes possible. One school found that there were some problems of the old pass or fail system (系统), especially for those students who didn’t pass. They usually felt upset. So now students who don’t pass the exams will see “Not yet” instead of a big red “F” on their papers. In this way, the students feel like they are on a journey. They just haven’t reached the end yet, but they know they are on the right way. This kind of thinking is part of “a growth mindset (成长心态)”. People with a growth mindset aren’t too nervous if they don’t get things right at first. They enjoy challenges and believe in themselves. Instead, people who just focus on (专注于) failure have “a fixed mindset (固定心态)”. These people are always worried about results. Obviously, it is much better to have a growth mindset. But don’t worry if you have a fixed mindset. You can train yourself to develop a growth mindset. Don’t question yourself. Stop believing that you can’t. Once you start thinking like this, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it before. It’s a small but very powerful word. 1．Why does the writer begin the text with a question? A．To show some events. B．To make a survey. C．To introduce the theme. 2．What is the new reply to students who don’t pass exams? A．A big red “F”. B．A “Not yet”. C．A red “failed”. 3．According to the passage, people with a growth mindset _________. A．think they are always right B．aren’t upset if they get things incorrect at first C．always focus on the right things 4．Which word has the similar meaning to the underlined word “Obviously” in Paragraph 3? A．Clearly. B．Especially. C．Simply. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．The Power of “Yet” B．Two Different Mindsets C．On the Way to Success Sometimes, using hand gestures (手势) can bring more information and be more easily understood than words, especially when you are speaking to someone with no language in common. But the same gesture can mean something quite impolite and offensive (冒犯的) to a person from a different cultural background. In many countries, if you have your index and middle fingers pointed up in the “V” shape, it stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward instead of inward, because showing people the back of your hand is impolite in some countries like the UK and Australia. Finger Snap (打响指) Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten. While in Latin America, snapping them means asking one to hurry up. But one thing you should remember is that, in many cultures, the snapping fingers close to someone’s face is considered to be an impolite gesture. Thumbs up In most parts of the world, the thumbs-up sign means the same thing. You are basically saying that “Everything is OK” or showing your agreement. But you’d better not use it in the Middle East or West Africa because it is considered to be highly impolite. 1．Which of the following situations might be the right time for the “V” shape? A．Your friend fails a test. B．You want to ask someone to hurry up. C．You win a speech competition. 2．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to? A．Thumb and middle finger. B．Thumb and index finger. C．Thumb and pinky. 3．Which of the following gestures is not mentioned? A． B． C． 4．From the passage we can know that ________. A．“V” shape sign means reminding someone of something forgotten B．you can use thumbs-up sign to show your agreement in West Africa C．snapping fingers close to someone’s face may be impolite 5．The writer mentioned so many different hand gestures to ________. A．tell the differences between American and Chinese cultures B．warn people to be careful when using a hand gesture C．encourage people to use hand gestures more The Chinese cheongsam, also known as qipao, is a traditional dress that first appeared in the early 20th century in Shanghai. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture and is worn by women around the world. The cheongsam hugs the curves (曲线) of the body and is mostly made of silk or cotton. It’s typical with a high collar (领), short sleeves (袖) and a short cut on the side of the skirt to make movement easy. The cheongsam was first worn by wealthy women in Shanghai as a way to show their social positions and wealth. But it quickly became popular among all classes of women as daily clothes. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam experienced changes and became fitter and better designed with fashionable elements (元素). Nowadays, designers are creating new styles to follow modern fashion. Today, the cheongsam is often worn for formal situations such as ceremonies (典礼), celebrations and cultural events in China. One of the most popular looks of the cheongsam is that of Anna Wong, a Chinese famous movie star. She often wears cheongsams on and off screen. Her look helps to make the dress win popularity in Hollywood and around the world. The cheongsam is not just a symbol of fashion, but also of Chinese culture and history. It brings out that Chinese people can always keep up with changing fashion over years. The cheongsam has stood the test of time. It will continue to catch the eyes of the public and give ideas to people for years to come. 1．When did the Chinese cheongsam first appear? A．During the 1900s and 1910s. B．During the 1920s and 1930s.

A．The Chinese Cheongsam — A New Art B．The Chinese Cheongsam — A Timeless Classic C．The Chinese Cheongsam — A Typical Tradition A recent discussion about pre-made dishes has drawn wide public attention in China. It all started when Luo Yonghao, a famous Internet influencer, posted on social media. He said that after eating at Xibei, a popular restaurant chain (连锁), he found most of its dishes were pre-made but sold at high prices. His post quickly became popular, getting millions of comments. What exactly are pre-made dishes? A 2024 notice from the government gives the answer. They are pre-packed foods made from vegetables, meat or other ingredients without preservatives (防腐剂). They go through factory processing, like mixing, frying or boiling, and need heating before eating. But not all prepared foods are pre-made. For example, dishes from central kitchens which are used by many big restaurants or simply cut vegetables are not in this group. That’s why Xibei said its dishes weren’t pre-made. Pre-made dishes have both advantages and disadvantages. Upsides Downsides ★Some stores can’t use fire or cook meat easily, so pre-made foods are safer. ★Pre-made products save time, cut costs and make service faster. ★Small restaurants may not keep pre-made dishes properly, leading to safety risks. ★Some workers heat pre-made dishes in dirty places, making people think pre-made means low quality. To fix the problems, the government is taking action. China’s new standard for pre-made dishes will soon ask for public ideas. Experts say transparency (透明度) is the key. Restaurants must tell customers clearly if they use pre-made dishes. Later, Luo said he wasn’t against pre-made dishes and he even chose them when he’s busy. He just thinks people have the right to know what they eat. 1．What made pre-made dishes draw wide attention? A．An influencer’s words. B．Their good taste. C．Their low cost. 2．Which are NOT pre-made dishes? A．Pre-packed fried meat. B．Roast duck from central kitchens. C．Factory-processed steamed mutton. 3．Why do restaurants use pre-made dishes? A．Higher quality. B．Fresher than homemade. C．Lower cost and time-saving. 4．What is the government doing? A．Stopping pre-made dishes. B．Making safety rules for them. C．Punishing Xibei for its dishes. 5．What is the text mainly about? A．Luo Yonghao’s influence. B．Problems of pre-made dishes. C．The discussion on pre-made dishes. As China makes new changes to its education, primary and secondary students are getting a nice new benefit—spring and autumn breaks. This new plan is made to reduce students’ study pressure and help them develop through useful activities outside the classroom. Lichuan city in Hubei province announced (宣布) its first autumn break on October 20th. The holiday runs from November 3rd to 7th. When put together with two weekends, students will enjoy a long nine-day break. Schools must follow the plan exactly without any changes. What’s more, they can’t give students written homework or any required tasks during this time. Students are very excited about this homework-free holiday. Ten-year-old Chen Mingshan, a fifth-grader, said happily that his parents would take him to the countryside. There, he can pick tangerines (橘子) and dig up sweet potatoes, and he doesn’t have to worry about homework at all. Other students also have great plans: one will go to his grandparents’ home to learn how to pick and process tea, another who loves the local dialect (方言) will learn Tujia folk songs from his grandparents and make a small “dialect music album”, and a group of classmates will visit the nearby Xingdoushan National protected area to observe migratory birds and plants and write a simple report. Teachers and parents all welcome this new holiday. Xiao Junling, a teacher at Chen’s school, said these activities have local features and let students learn through real experiences, turning hard-to-touch textbook knowledge into something they can feel in daily life. Huang Jie, a parent, is glad for the less busy travel time. He said his family can take a slow trip and let the children truly relax. This autumn break is more than just a rest— it’s a fun and helpful way for students to learn and grow. 1．How long is the autumn break with weekends included in Lichuan? A．5 days. B．7 days.

C．A new holiday (spring and autumn breaks) for students and its benefits. Around the world, people are more and more worried about the environment. Many people now prefer products and companies that care about the earth and cause less pollution. This need for green products has led large companies to change their business. Before, customers used cheap plastic (塑料的) bags to buy local products, and then threw them away. But now most supermarkets and stores usually provide reusable shopping bags for customers. This cause less waste. They also offer more local products, because less energy is needed for carrying them from one place to another. To help lower air pollution, big car factories are looking for other ways to reduce the need for oil. Cars that use much less oil are very popular. Many companies are also developing fully electric cars. They produce no air pollution at all. Both kinds of cars have another advantage. They are cheaper to run and people don’t have to worry about oil prices. The airline companies face an even greater green challenge. Airplanes use much more oil than cars. So many airlines are now developing planes that can run on some other kinds of oil. They produce less pollution and cost less. The companies are also developing a new kind of planes which use only solar panels (太阳能板) to fly. Green businesses used to be popular with only a small group of people. But now, more and more companies have to show they care about the environment. Many products are marked “green” in order to look nice. However, people still have to be careful when choosing green products. It’s important to make sure the products are as environmentally friendly as the businessmen say. 1．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．local products B．customers C．cheap plastic bags 2．What are the advantages of electric cars according to the passage? a. using less oil  b. making little noise  c. running at low costs  d. producing no air pollution A．a&b B．c&d C．b&c 3．What do airlines do to deal with their “green challenge”?

A．They will soon take the place of all old-style businesses. B．Most of their products are checked to be truly good for the environment. C．Their popularity has grown, with more companies now choosing this business model. 5．What’s the best title for this passage? A．Green saves the earth B．Green is good business C．Green makes life easier Funny Inventions To invent something is to come up with a new idea, no matter how unusual it may be, and then try to make it a reality. Humans have been inventing things and solving problems for a long time and this has helped to develop the society we have today. However, not all of the ideas have been perfect. Tomatan In 2015, a Japanese juice company decided to solve the problem of how to make sure people who exercised for a long time ate enough nutritious(有营养的) food during their exercise. The juice company worked with another company to create a robot backpack that fed people tomatoes on the move. It was certainly a strange invention. Would you like to be fed tomatoes by a robot? Family Bicycle Charles was an inventor of bicycles from Chicago and in 1939, he created possibly the strangest one. It had one front seat, one back seat with pedals, one top seat with pedals, two wheels and one lower seat where the rider sat at a function sewing machine! The legs of the sewing machine made sure the tall bicycle didn’t fall over when not being used. What other inventions could connect two or more uses like this one? A function sewing machine Greenhouse Helmet In 1985, a new helmet with some plants inside was designed to help people breathe the cleaner air provided by the plants in bad weather. This see-through(透明的) helmet also included some speakers and a microphone so that you could communicate with other people around you. Can you imagine any problems when wearing the greenhouse helmet? A Robot That Learns In 2025, a company developed an AI robot. It is able to speak, follow instructions and even learns what to do next. It is 1.7m in height, weighs 60kg and can run for 5 hours. The company hopes that these robots will join the staff in the United States and increase productivity. Can you imagine working with a robot?

It helps people living in apartments grow fresh vegetables and fruits at home easily. The smart planting system uses high technology to look after plants. The device (装置) is small. It takes up just 0.25m2 of floor space but can grow up to 30 kinds of plants at the same time. It uses special lights that work like sunlight, so the plants grow well even indoors. It controls water, light, and nutrients (养分) for plants all by itself. This makes growing food easy, even if you don’t have much experience. Compared with traditional farming, this system helps plants grow faster, stops them from getting sick, and doesn’t use harmful chemicals (有害化学物质). Liu Shahe, an early user, shared her experience online. She says the system has made her gardening dream come true, even though she travels a lot. She loves the system because it works well and is easy to use. She has successfully grown many plants with it. She even makes hot pot with her home-grown vegetables. A recent report shows that the market for smart indoor gardens is growing rapidly. More and more people in cities want to feel closer to nature and eat healthy food. Smart gardens make this possible by providing a healthy and easy way to grow food. So, smart indoor garden systems will become even more popular in the future. They offer a new way to bring nature into our homes and enjoy fresh, healthy food all year round. 1．What do we know about the indoor planting system? A．It only works well in apartments.

This TV show was adapted (被改编) from Ma Boyong’s novel of the same name. According to some reports, some directors have already adapted the novel into drama works and movies. And the novel may also be adapted into related musical works in the future. This TV show tells a story during the Tang Dynasty. At that time, to please a beauty, Yang Yuhuan, Emperor Xuanzong ordered people to take fresh lychees from Lingnan (today’s Guangdong) to Chang’an. Today, this may sound easy. In the ancient times, however, it was a near-impossible work: lychees went bad within 3 days, while the journey covered over 5,000 li (about 2,500 kilometres) across mountains and rivers. Li Shande, an unlucky person in Chang’an, was chosen to be responsible (负责任的) for the work. Although he knew how difficult the work was, he didn’t want to give up. He studied maps, tested routes, and did a lot more. To keep the fruit fresh, he made some bottles with some ice, and then he put the lychees in them. He also created a tool to record progress, marking each station with red color. Within 11 days, Li magically succeeded. When the lychees finally arrived, their sweet smell brought joy to the palace. Li’s journey shows people an important lesson: growth comes not only from success, but also from determination (决心) in the face of difficulties. 1．What adaptations of the novel The Lychee Road have already appeared according to the passage? ①drama works    ②movies    ③musical works A．①② B．②③ C．①③ 2．Which of the following was NOT a difficulty in transporting lychees?
