Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again. The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lost, this chip becomes the bridge. When the chips work, they create a direct connection between the brain and muscles. The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients’ nervous systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s progress in medical science and it brings hope for over 3.7 million people in China. “This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training.” Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and then on people. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science fiction. As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward—one built on science, shaped by care, and aimed toward a brighter future. 1．What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage? A．They are only as wide as 2 mm. B．They are fitted into the man’s arms. C．They help the patients walk again. D．They improve the patients’ memory. 2．Which of the following meanings is suitable for the underlined word “bold”? bold /bəʊld/ adj. 1. PERSON/ACTION not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions: He had the ability to take bold imaginative decisions. 2. COLOURS/SHAPES very strong or bright so that you notice them: Stripes are bold, bright, and fun to wear. 3. LINES/WRITING written or drawn in a very clear way: The print should be bold and easy to read. 4. PRINTED LETTERS printed in letters that are darker and thicker than ordinary printed letters: All the headings are in bold type. (From the dictionary) A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4. 3．What is the writer’s main reason for writing this passage? A．To recommend a science story. B．To report a pioneer doctor in medicine. C．To compare different treatments. D．To introduce a new medical success. 4．What would be the best title of this passage? A．China’s Chips Bring New Hope B．Future of China’s Medical Science C．Science Fiction Changes Our Lives D．Challenges for Chinese Scientists 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文介绍了中国科学家研发的一种脑脊髓芯片如何帮助脊髓损伤患者恢复行走能力，标志着中国在医学科学领域的重大进步，并为数百万患者带来新希望。 1．细节理解题。根据“Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again.”可知，这种芯片可以帮助瘫痪患者重新行走起来。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking.”可知，bold thinking与careful research为并列关系，描述研究历程。根据词典中的第一条释义“1. PERSON/ACTION not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions”可知，bold可意为“敢于冒险和制定困难的决策”，这与研究者十年攻坚、突破常规的背景匹配。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“A medical breakthrough in China is giving new hope to people with spinal cord injuries (脊髓损伤). Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again.”可知，文章首段点明主题，即医学上的突破，后续聚焦芯片原理、疗效及意义，末段展望未来。因此，作者的写作意图应是介绍一项新的医疗成果。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。本文介绍了中国科学家研发的一种脑脊髓芯片如何帮助脊髓损伤患者恢复行走能力，标志着中国在医学科学领域的重大进步，并为数百万患者带来新希望。选项A“中国芯片带来新的希望”作为标题最为合适。故选A。 Want to know what your friends are really like? Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist! 1．What influences our musical taste according to the experiment? A．Personalities. B．Friends. C．Parents. D．Instruments. 2．According to the passage, if Daniel is creative, what may be found in his playlist? A．Rock. B．Country music. C．Jazz. D．Classical music. 3．What may be the writer’s advice for us? A．Changing our personalities. B．Trying different types of music. C．Doing experiments with friends. D．Getting more learning experiences. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How different cultures influence you. B．What your playlist says about you. C．What songs we can choose to enjoy. D．Why there are different musical styles. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文通过一项全球实验，探讨了音乐偏好与人格特质之间的关联，并指出音乐品味还受成长环境、社交圈等因素影响，最后鼓励人们尝试多样化的音乐风格。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to.”（可知，人格是主要影响因素。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据表格Jazz部分“Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning.”（爵士乐迷常产生新想法）可知，创造力强的人可能喜欢爵士乐。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist!”可知，作者建议尝试不同音乐类型。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据“The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are.”可知，全文围绕“音乐偏好反映人格特质”展开，B项“你的歌单反映了你的性格”最能概括全文。故选B。 China has become the world’s largest producer and market of EVs (电车). According to a report, 9.58 million Chinese-made EVs were produced and 9.49 million were sold in 2023. Among the total sales, 1.2 million EVs were exported (出口). The Chinese government has been encouraging EVs as part of its effort for green, high-quality development. As a result, China’s EV industry develops very quickly. At Auto (汽车) China 2004, BYD was the only company showing EVs there. At Auto China 2024, there were 278 different EV models on show, including BYD, SAIC, Geely, Li Auto, Nio, Xpeng and other brands (品牌). China’s EV industry is now facing both challenges and chances. It’s reported that 71% of EV brands cut prices in 2023. EV makers without the ability of innovation (创新) will face growing risks. In order to be both green and smart, Chinese EV makers are trying hard to improve technologies like battery qualities and AI support. At the same time, the government is adding even more charging points (充电站). On the other hand, more Chinese people are aware of the environmental problems. It is encouraging more buyers to choose EVs. EVs are the way of the future. In an ideal world, everyone benefits from innovation and green transport. Some might get there sooner than others, and will gain greater rewards. It is very likely that China will hold the lead. 1．How many Chinese-made EVs were sold in China in 2023? A．8.38 million.

The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, which was painted in 1665. ③The researchers used eye-tracking equipment (设备) and a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone’s brain activity to notice how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks in the museum shop. ④The study found that their emotional response was 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity and consciousness (意识). ⑤The team found that the group reacted especially strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring. Results showed the volunteers experienced something called a “sustained attentional loop” (持续注意循环)—but they only had it while looking at that particular (特定的) painting. The volunteers’ attention was first attracted to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This eye movement repeated in a loop, which meant that people looked at the painting for longer. ⑥The director of the museum, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps to develop your brain.” The researchers said it would be interesting to do the same study on other famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 1．An EEG is ________. A．a painting style B．a famous art museum C．brain-scanning equipment D．a scientist who studies the brain 2．What are Paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about? A．The steps to the research. B．The reasons for the research. C．The problems with the study. D．The findings of the study. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The study is based on the difference between real paintings and their posters. B．The emotional response is weaker when seeing real artworks. C．The study is only valuable to research famous paintings. D．The researchers have continued the study on the Mona Lisa. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To encourage us to go to the Mauritshuis museum. B．To teach us how to enjoy real artworks. C．To explain the power of real art. D．To introduce the art value of Girl with a Pearl Earring. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了一项神经科学研究，发现观赏真实艺术品比看照片更能激发强烈的情感反应，并特别以《戴珍珠耳环的少女》为例，说明真实艺术的独特魅力。 1．细节理解题。根据“a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone’s brain activity”可知，EEG是一种脑部扫描设备。故选C。 2．主旨大意题。第四段主要介绍研究发现观赏真实画作时情感反应更强烈；第五段进一步说明志愿者对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》产生了“持续注意循环”。两段共同呈现了研究的主要发现。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks...”可知，研究基于真实画作与其海报的对比。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。文章通过一项科学研究的结果，强调了观赏真实艺术品能带来更强的情感体验和认知活动，旨在说明真实艺术的力量。故选C。 Traditional Chinese colors play a key role in Chinese aesthetics. However, they are more than just beautiful shades—they have deep cultural meanings. These colors are not chosen randomly (随机). Instead, they are closely connected to history, nature, and social values. Let’s explore how these colors are used and what they stand for. In ancient China, there were five primary colors: cyan (青色), red, yellow, white, and black. Unlike the modern Western primary color system, these colors were linked to Wu Xing (the Five Elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, water. They also stood for directions and seasons. This connection made them more than just pretty colors. Yellow stood for the earth and the center. It became the color of the emperor. In the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the royal family could wear bright yellow. The emperor’s clothes and palace roofs (like those of the Forbidden City) were yellow, showing the highest power. Red means fire, the south, and summer. It stands for joy and good luck. During the Chinese New Year, people hang red lanterns and give red packets. At weddings, people wear red and use red decorations to keep away bad luck and celebrate new starts. Even today, red is still the top choice for important and happy events. By mixing the five primary colors, people made secondary colors. For example, green comes from cyan and yellow. It means life and nature. In Chinese gardens, green plants and ponds create a peaceful feeling. Pink, from red and white, means grace. It was often used in women’s clothes. In art, colors are used to express feelings. Ink paintings use black and white in light to dark shades to show mountains, rivers, and feelings. Blue and white porcelain (青花瓷) has a blue design on a white base (基底). It looks clear and elegant. It became famous around the world through the Silk Road. The contrast (对比) between dark blue and bright white creates a clean and timeless beauty with special Eastern magic. It was once popular along the Silk Road, making it a global symbol of Chinese culture. 1．What does the underlined word “aesthetics” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．The study of beauty and taste. B．The study of history and society. C．The study of colors and shapes. D．The study of nature and elements. 2．How does the writer talk about secondary colours in the passage? A．By telling a story of how secondary colors were invented. B．By explaining what they are and giving examples. C．By comparing them with Western secondary colors. D．By listing problems of using secondary colors. 3．According to the passage, why did blue and white porcelain become a global symbol of Chinese culture? A．Because it was only used by Chinese emperors. B．Because making it is very simple. C．Because it has special Eastern beauty and was spread widely. D．Because it uses all five traditional primary colors. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of Chinese ink paintings. B．The making of blue and white porcelain. C．The cultural meanings and uses of traditional Chinese colors. D．The differences between Chinese and Western color systems. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国传统色彩在中国美学中的重要作用，以及它们所承载的深厚文化内涵。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Traditional Chinese colors play a key role in Chinese aesthetics. However, they are more than just beautiful shades—they have deep cultural meanings.”可知，中国传统色彩在中国美学中扮演着关键角色，且它们不仅仅是美丽的色调，还具有深厚的文化意义。由此可推测，“aesthetics”指的是与美和品味相关的研究。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“By mixing the five primary colors, people made secondary colors. For example, green comes from cyan and yellow. It means life and nature. In Chinese gardens, green plants and ponds create a peaceful feeling. Pink, from red and white, means grace. It was often used in women’s clothes.”可知，作者通过解释什么是次要色彩，并举例说明绿色和粉色的来源及意义来谈论次要色彩。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Blue and white porcelain (青花瓷) has a blue design on a white base. It looks clear and elegant. It became famous around the world through the Silk Road. The contrast between dark blue and bright white creates a clean and timeless beauty with special Eastern magic. It was once popular along the Silk Road, making it a global symbol of Chinese culture.”可知，青花瓷通过丝绸之路闻名世界，深蓝色和亮白色的对比创造出一种干净而永恒的美，具有特殊的东方魅力，因此它成为了中国文化的全球象征。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Traditional Chinese colors play a key role in Chinese aesthetics. However, they are more than just beautiful shades—they have deep cultural meanings.”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了中国传统色彩的文化意义和用途。故选C。 A 2,000-year-old story is now on Jiangsu’s “Su Chao” football field—the famous Chu-Han Contention (楚汉之争) is back! The Jiangsu Football City League, also called “Su Super League” or “Su Chao”, is currently being held. It is an official competition where teams from 13 cities in Jiangsu province play against each other. One of the most exciting matches is between Suqian and Xuzhou. Many people online refer to it as the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field. This name comes from a famous period in Chinese history. After the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC) ended, Xiang Yu, a powerful military leader, declared himself the King of Chu. He gave Liu Bang the title of King of Han. Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention, ended with Liu Bang’s victory. This led to the start of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—AD 8). Today, in the Su Chao league, every time these two cities play, the match becomes interesting and full of passion (激情). But the rivalry (竞争) doesn’t stop there—it spreads throughout the whole competition. Jiangsu has gone through many historical changes, bringing together cities with different cultures under one province. This has created a strong sense of competition among them. This spirit is captured in the Su Chao motto (格言): “Fight for the glory (荣誉) of your city.” There is also a popular joke among fans: “The game comes first; friendship comes fourteenth.” It’s a joke, but it shows how much they care about their city’s pride. 1．Why do people online call the match between Suqian and Xuzhou the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field? A．Because both cities have a long history of playing football. B．Because the two teams often win the Su Chao league. C．Because Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had the Chu-Han Contention in history. D．Because the match is always held on the same day as the Chu-Han Contention anniversary. 2．What has made the cities in Jiangsu have a strong sense of competition in Su Chao? A．Jiangsu has many big football stadiums for matches. B．The Su Chao league gives a lot of money to the winning team. C．Jiangsu’s historical changes brought cities with different cultures together. D．The fans of each city don’t like other cities’ teams. 3．Which of the following statements is right? A．Liu Bang was historically born in present-day Suqian. B．The league’s motto promotes (促进) friendship above competition. C．The Su Chao league matches primarily focus on building friendship between cities. D．The modern match between Suqian and Xuzhou shows their historical figures’ conflict (人物冲突). 4．Which sentence matches the Su Chao motto “Fight for the glory of your city”? A．Players should care more about their own fame than team wins. B．Fans’ excitement shows they love their city very much. C．The league does not want cities to compete with each other. D．Teams must learn history before playing matches. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文介绍江苏足球城市联赛中宿迁与徐州的比赛被称作“楚汉之争”的历史渊源，及赛事竞争氛围与格言内涵。 1．细节理解题。根据“Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention”可知，这场比赛被称为足球场上的“楚汉之争”是因为历史上项羽和刘邦曾有楚汉之争，且两人分别与现在的宿迁、徐州相关，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Jiangsu has gone through many historical changes, bringing together cities with different cultures under one province. This has created a strong sense of competition among them.”可知，江苏的历史变迁让不同文化的城市汇聚一堂，这使得这些城市在赛事中产生了强烈的竞争意识，故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“Many people online refer to it as the ‘Chu-Han Contention’ on the football field.”以及“Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention”可知，宿迁和徐州的现代足球比赛对应着历史上项羽、刘邦的楚汉之争，体现了二者历史人物的冲突，故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“‘Fight for the glory of your city.’ There is also a popular joke among fans: ‘The game comes first; friendship comes fourteenth.’ It’s a joke, but it shows how much they care about their city’s pride.”可知，赛事格言“为城市荣誉而战”体现了对城市荣誉的重视，而球迷的玩笑也反映出他们对城市自豪感的在意，选项B表述与之相符，故选B。 Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)? Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665. ① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. ② It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity (身份) and consciousness (意识). ③ How did that happen? According to the study, people may experience something called a “sustained attentional loop” when they watch a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way. ④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “it really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 1．What is the purpose of the study? A．To explain different ways to study a painting. B．To check people’s interest in museum paintings. C．To find differences between a painting and its photo. D．To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos. 2．We can put the following sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” in ________. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 3．How does the writer introduce the “sustained attentional loop”? A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By offering advice. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Power of Real Works of Art B．Lessons from Real Works of Art C．The Way to Enjoy Real Works of Art D．A Visit to Real Works of Art 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．A 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了科学家在荷兰海牙的莫里茨皇家美术馆进行的一项研究，该研究发现人们看到真实的艺术作品时比看其照片时的情绪反应更强烈，并解释了原因，强调了欣赏真实艺术作品的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop.”可知，研究人员使用眼动追踪设备和大脑扫描仪来观察人们对几幅画的反应，先让志愿者看展出的真画，再看博物馆商店里艺术作品的照片，所以研究的目的是观察人们对真实艺术作品及其照片的反应。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.”可知，莫里茨皇家美术馆有《戴珍珠耳环的少女》这幅画，再结合第四段“It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings.”可知，人们看真画时的情绪反应比看照片时强烈10倍，所以“The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.”这句话放在②处，即指出人们对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》这幅真画的反应更强烈，符合语境。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“How did that happen? According to the study, people may experience something called a ‘sustained attentional loop’ when they watch a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring.”可知，作者通过举例志愿者看《戴珍珠耳环的少女》这幅画时，注意力先被女孩的左眼吸引，然后是她的嘴，最后是她的珍珠耳环，来介绍“持续注意力循环”这一概念。故选A。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)?”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了人们看到真实的艺术作品时比看其照片时的情绪反应更强烈，强调了真实艺术作品的力量，所以A选项“真实艺术作品的力量”最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 In the past, the Tala Desert in Qinghai was described by the saying, “When the wind blows, stones roll and no grass grows.” Covering more than 600 square kilometers, 98.5% of this empty land has turned into desert. Almost nothing could live there. Yet, because it receives plenty of sunlight, this “lifeless place” was chosen as the site for one of China’s biggest solar power stations. In 2012, the first sets of solar panels (太阳能板) were set up. They were only meant to collect sunlight to produce electricity, but something unexpected happened for the environment. The panels worked like large sunshades. They reduced direct sunlight, slowed down wind erosion (侵蚀), and helped the soil keep its moisture. In just a few years, plant coverage increased from less than 2% to 80%. However, new problems soon arose. The rapidly growing grass started to block sunlight from reaching the panels. This reduced electricity production and raised the risk of fires. Using chemical weed killers damaged the weak ecosystem, and asking people to cut the grass cost millions of yuan every year. Then, a local herder (牧民) half-jokingly suggested, “Why not let sheep eat the grass?” In 2016, 600 Tibetan sheep officially “started working.” They ate the grass under the panels, keeping it short and improving the soil with their waste. In return, the sheep grew healthier. The herders voluntarily joined the project and even formed a small group to take turns managing the areas, making sure the grass and sheep stay in balance. This created a lasting system of “solar power above, sheep below.” The power station saved on cleaning costs, herders made more money, and the land became healthier. Today, the Tala Desert now supplies over 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually and the number of sheep has increased to over 20,000, creating millions of yuan in value every year.

Performers usually tell stories in teahouses or small theaters, attracting viewers with their lively voices and gestures (姿态). To master Pingshu, artists need years of training. Most learn by studying under their teachers—usually experienced performers. As one famous artist, Yuan Kuocheng said, “Pingshu is work both on body and mind. Performers must memorize long stories and add their own explanations to make the stories more attractive. They also need to understand the deeper meanings of the stories and share their thoughts with the viewers.” During performances, artists stand behind a table. They use tools like a folding fan and a wooden block called Xingmu (醒木). The fan helps act out scenes, such as “drawing a sword (剑)”. The Xingmu is knocked on the table to mark the start of the story or to highlight (突出)—exciting moments. Modern technology has brought both challenges and chances to Pingshu. While young people today prefer online entertainment (娱乐), technology allows artists to record their performances. These recordings can be shared widely, helping more people discover Pingshu. They also protect this art for future young people. More often than not, those who listen to Pingshu stories are older people. While most young people spend hours online, a small number still find value in Pingshu, drawn by its cultural richness and storytelling traditions. Pingshu is not just entertainment—it carries Chinese culture and wisdom. Through stories, performers connect the past with the present, offering viewers both fun and life lessons. 1．What can we infer from the second paragraph?

There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study published in February, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. Jagiello said, “For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times. They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact. Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from predators (捕食者), the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February’s study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish. Of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing trash. Nearly nine out of every ten of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing rubbish when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by going on research. For their study, the researchers scanned the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious. Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells? Scientists have guesses. The number of some sea snails is going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry, or they’re drawn to its flashy colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. 1．What’s the purpose of writing the first paragraph? A．To describe water pollution. B．To tell us that plastic is everywhere. C．To show plastic waste is harmful to us. D．To lead us to think about the topic of the text. 2．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? Hermit crabs ______. A．find their new homes B．have a small, soft body C．usually wear seashells D．can protect themselves 3．What are the possible reasons for hermit crabs using plastic according to the passage? ①There are more sea snails than before. ② Plastic has bright colours that the crabs like. ③ Plastic is light and easy for the crabs to carry. ④ Other animals that want to eat the crabs are afraid of plastic. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①③ 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Plastic pollution in deep oceans B．Tips for protecting hermit crabs C．Creative crabs wearing rubbish D．Our influence on the environment 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了寄居蟹因海洋塑料污染而被迫将塑料垃圾当作外壳使用的现象，反映了人类活动对自然环境的深远影响。 1．推理判断题。第一段通过联合国数据说明每天有大量塑料垃圾流入水域，且塑料垃圾遍布海洋底部和珠穆朗玛峰顶部，目的是引出下文“寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为外壳”这一核心话题。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。第四段先介绍寄居蟹的基本特征，再重点说明它们通常会借用海螺的空壳保护自己，同时补充有记录显示部分寄居蟹开始使用垃圾作为“外壳”，核心是围绕寄居蟹的“外壳使用情况”展开，即它们找到了新的“家”（外壳）。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells? Scientists have guesses…It’s also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry, or they’re drawn to its flashy colors.”可知，寄居蟹选择塑料的可能原因是塑料轻便易携带、颜色鲜艳吸引它们（②③）。故选B。 4．最佳标题题。文章核心围绕“寄居蟹使用塑料垃圾作为外壳”这一特殊现象展开，结合塑料污染的背景，体现人类活动对环境的影响。选项D“我们对环境的影响”符合题意。故选D。 One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate change, autumn is changing. According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.” Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.” If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to slow down this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently. Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow. 1．Which is the effect of climate change on autumn? A．The season length is becoming shorter. B．Leaves are changing their colors and falling later. C．There are more frosts in autumn. D．Pests are no longer active. 2．What does the word “ruin” most likely mean in the passage? A．Cause damage. B．Improve greatly. C．Become more colorful. D．Change completely. 3．What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to? A．The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s lives. B．Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before. C．The autumn changes because of climate change. D．Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions. 4．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To call for actions against climate change. B．To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. C．To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D．To explain the research about leaf phenology. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了气候变化对秋天的影响（如树叶变色、落叶推迟、霜冻延后等），同时指出限制碳排放可减缓这些变化，呼吁人们保护秋天。 1．细节理解题。根据“the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors”及“Trees are holding onto their leaves longer”可知，气候变化使树叶变色和掉落的时间延后。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, because of climate change, autumn is changing.”和第二段“And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season.”可知，气候变化正在“破坏”秋天。结合上下文，ruin表示“造成损害”。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据前文“because of climate change, autumn is changing”及相关影响的描述可知，“this development”指代的是“气候变化带来的秋天的变化”。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据“if humans limited the carbon emissions... stop the worst effects”及“The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory” 可知，文章目的是呼吁人们采取行动应对气候变化，保护秋天。故选A。 Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space, like behind a sofa or under the bed? Wouldn’t it be nice to just suck it up and get it out with a tool? Well, robots will soon make this possible. In a study, scientists from the University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have invented small robots that can quickly change into liquid states. They melted (熔化) into liquid and managed to get out of a locked cage during the tests, shocking the whole scientific community. According to the website Mashable, the scientists got the idea from sea cucumbers (海参), which can change the softness of their bodies and easily enter any place. The robots in the study were made from a soft metal, which has a low melting point of only 30°C． The scientists first placed the robot in a magnetic field (磁场). Thanks to the magnetic field, the robot can then be heated into a liquid form, allowing it to enter some hard-to-reach places. After that, by controlling the strength or direction of the magnetic field, the robot can be moved around in a controlled manner. Hopefully, these liquid robots can be widely used in different fields and will not disappoint us. They can help take out a foreign object from a model human stomach. Scientists can use them to repair a TV set by squeezing them into hard-to-reach areas inside the TV set. To prevent humans from being harmed, these robots can perform dangerous tasks in hard-to-reach environments, such as cleaning in nuclear power plants (核电站). “What we’re showing are just ideas that need to be developed further,” said Carmel Majidi of Carnegie Mellon University. “The goal of our future research is to put these liquid robots to use in real-life situations more quickly. We are very confident about achieving this goal.” 1．The writer started the passage by ________. A．giving examples B．telling stories C．comparing facts D．asking questions 2．The liquid robot works in the order of ________. a. It is heated into a liquid form.            b. It is put in a magnetic field. c. The magnetic field is used to move robots.        d. It enters some hard-to-reach places.

The government has introduced a new childcare subsidy policy to ease the financial (经济) burden of raising kids. To apply (申请), parents or guardians (监护人) have two choices: using the online childcare subsidy information system, which is very convenient, or applying in person. When applying, they need to prepare simple materials like the child’s birth certificate (出生证明) and household registration booklet (户口本). The subsidy will be paid directly into the bank account of the applicant or the child, to ensure it reaches families safely. Starting from January 1, 2025, families with children under 3 years old can receive a subsidy. The national basic standard is 3,600 yuan per child every year, and it will be given until the child turns 3. Whether it’s the first, second, or third child, each is eligible (符合条件的). For example, if a family has a 2-year-old child, they can get 3,600 yuan this year. For children born before 2025 but still under 3, the subsidy will be calculated based on the remaining months until they turn 3. This policy is really helpful. Raising children costs a lot—from milk powder and diapers to early education. The subsidy can support families with these expenses. It shows the government cares about families and wants to help them raise the next generation. With this support, parents can focus more on their children’s growth, feeling less worried about money. We hope this policy brings more joy and less stress to families, to help every child in China have a better future. 1．What is the main purpose of China’s new childcare subsidy policy? A．To encourage more families to travel. B．To reduce the financial pressure of raising children. C．To improve children’s education level.

Directed by Wang, food documentary Taste of Home was broadcast on Fujian’s South East TV on April 7. Each episode introduces two dishes from local families in two villages. People can follow the food preparation and cooking while learning the stories of the families and the food. At the end of each episode, the locals answer one question, usually about local languages or customs. Wang says that the purpose of this part is to take the viewers on a trip back to their hometown. Most of the dishes that appear in the documentary use ingredients from the cooks’ own fields or yards. Wang knows that living in the city, people know little about where the food comes from. “In this documentary I want to show all ingredients have their sources, whether they’re the pigs raised by those in the show, or the vegetables grown in their fields,” he says. Unlike filming restaurant owners or famous cooks who are easier to find, Wang and his team had to work hard to find interviewees for their documentary. ▲ They always said, “I’m not a good cook; why would you like to film me?” Usually, it would take around two days for the family to get comfortable with the film group and start acting naturally in front of the camera. “We must put more effort into our work in order to film the documentary well,” a photographer says. “The documentary shows a feeling of family,” Wang says. “The theme of it is not about heroes but common people.” 1．What can we learn from Taste of Home? ①cooking methods ②travelling tips ③family stories ④village customs A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 2．Which question is answered in the third paragraph? A．How can we make traditional food? B．Where can we buy fresh ingredients? C．Where are the ingredients in the show from? D．How should we choose ingredients? 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．The interviewees could cook the dishes well all the time. B．And the chosen people were often surprised. C．The chosen ones always proudly showed their cooking skills. D．Most of the villagers were glad to share their homemade dishes. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To spread Chinese food culture. B．To introduce a food documentary. C．To show how to make delicious food. D．To encourage people to learn to cook. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了由王圣志导演的美食纪录片《家乡的味道》，该纪录片聚焦小村庄中人们的厨房，每集介绍两个村庄中当地家庭的两道菜，并讲述家庭和食物的故事，同时让当地人回答关于当地语言或习俗的问题。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“People can follow the food preparation and cooking while learning the stories of the families and the food.

Scientists have created a brain-spinal chip (芯片) that allows paralyzed (瘫痪的) patients to move their legs, and even walk again. The chip, only 1mm wide, is designed to be fitted into the brain and spinal cord. If the natural communication between the brain and muscles (肌肉) is lost, this chip becomes the bridge. When the chips work, they create a direct connection between the brain and muscles. The results have been amazing. A 34-year-old man, paralyzed after a fall, could move his legs just one day after the operation on January 8, 2025. Two weeks later, he walked five meters with help. Three other patients had similar operations in February and March, all getting better within weeks. Even though the patients’ nervous systems were damaged (受损), the chips helped them walk again. This marks a big step in China’s progress in medical science and it brings hope for over 3.7 million people in China. “This is just the beginning,” Jia, the lead researcher, says. “With the technology, these people may one day leave wheelchairs behind after 3 to 5 years of training.” Behind this achievement is a long journey of careful research and bold thinking. It took the researchers over 10 years to develop the chip. They tested it on animals first, and then on people. They faced many challenges, yet they never gave up. Step by step, they developed a system to reconnect the mind and body in ways once appearing only in science fiction. As the chip continues to improve, it lights a new path forward—one built on science, shaped by care, and aimed toward a brighter future. 1．What do we know about the chips mentioned in the passage?

Take a look at their music playlist. More than 36,000 people, from all over the world, took part in an experiment (实验). It compared their personalities with how much they liked different musical styles. The results show that personalities do influence what we listen to. Here’s what certain musical styles say about who you are. Rock Like the sound of loud guitars and heavy drum beats? This type of music sounds very exciting, but fans of it are often quite gentle. Country music If cowboy hats and guitars get you singing along, it’s possible that you’re hard-working, preferring traditional styles and values. Jazz Fans of this strong music always come up with new ideas and are good at learning. If you like the saxophone of John Coltrane, then you’re probably self-confident and easy to get on with. Classical music If Beethoven and Mozart have you turning up the music, you’re probably quiet, but happy with who you are and comfortable with the world around you. But the experiment didn’t tell the whole story: where we grow up, who we often go out with, and our personal experiences play into our taste, too. The songs you choose to be part of your life make you different from others. But no matter what style you like, music is for everyone. And enjoying different types of music lets you get a taste of cultures you might not have experienced before. So experiment with your playlist! 1．What influences our musical taste according to the experiment? A．Personalities. B．Friends. C．Parents. D．Instruments. 2．According to the passage, if Daniel is creative, what may be found in his playlist? A．Rock. B．Country music. C．Jazz. D．Classical music. 3．What may be the writer’s advice for us? A．Changing our personalities. B．Trying different types of music. C．Doing experiments with friends. D．Getting more learning experiences. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．How different cultures influence you. B．What your playlist says about you. C．What songs we can choose to enjoy. D．Why there are different musical styles. China has become the world’s largest producer and market of EVs (电车). According to a report, 9.58 million Chinese-made EVs were produced and 9.49 million were sold in 2023. Among the total sales, 1.2 million EVs were exported (出口). The Chinese government has been encouraging EVs as part of its effort for green, high-quality development. As a result, China’s EV industry develops very quickly. At Auto (汽车) China 2004, BYD was the only company showing EVs there. At Auto China 2024, there were 278 different EV models on show, including BYD, SAIC, Geely, Li Auto, Nio, Xpeng and other brands (品牌). China’s EV industry is now facing both challenges and chances. It’s reported that 71% of EV brands cut prices in 2023. EV makers without the ability of innovation (创新) will face growing risks. In order to be both green and smart, Chinese EV makers are trying hard to improve technologies like battery qualities and AI support. At the same time, the government is adding even more charging points (充电站). On the other hand, more Chinese people are aware of the environmental problems. It is encouraging more buyers to choose EVs. EVs are the way of the future. In an ideal world, everyone benefits from innovation and green transport. Some might get there sooner than others, and will gain greater rewards. It is very likely that China will hold the lead. 1．How many Chinese-made EVs were sold in China in 2023? A．8.38 million. B．9.49 million. C．9.58 million. D．8.29 million. 2．What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A．To introduce different EV brands in China. B．To give some information about Auto China. C．To show the development of China’s EV industry. D．To advise people to buy Chinese-made EVs. 3．EV makers can most probably reduce growing risks by ______. A．improving innovation ability B．winning the government’s support C．adding more charging points D．dealing with environmental problems 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of China’s EV industry? A．Uncertain. B．Hopeful. C．Doubtful. D．Worried. 【热点话题练习】 ①Artwork is lovely to look at, but did you know that seeing a real work of art instead of a photo of it makes people more emotional? ②Neuroscientists (神经学家) recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer, which was painted in 1665. ③The researchers used eye-tracking equipment (设备) and a brain scanner called EEG which can record someone’s brain activity to notice how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at posters of the artworks in the museum shop. ④The study found that their emotional response was 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity and consciousness (意识). ⑤The team found that the group reacted especially strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring. Results showed the volunteers experienced something called a “sustained attentional loop” (持续注意循环)—but they only had it while looking at that particular (特定的) painting. The volunteers’ attention was first attracted to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This eye movement repeated in a loop, which meant that people looked at the painting for longer. ⑥The director of the museum, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “It really helps to develop your brain.” The researchers said it would be interesting to do the same study on other famous paintings, such as the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 1．An EEG is ________.

A．To encourage us to go to the Mauritshuis museum. B．To teach us how to enjoy real artworks. C．To explain the power of real art. D．To introduce the art value of Girl with a Pearl Earring. Traditional Chinese colors play a key role in Chinese aesthetics. However, they are more than just beautiful shades—they have deep cultural meanings. These colors are not chosen randomly (随机). Instead, they are closely connected to history, nature, and social values. Let’s explore how these colors are used and what they stand for. In ancient China, there were five primary colors: cyan (青色), red, yellow, white, and black. Unlike the modern Western primary color system, these colors were linked to Wu Xing (the Five Elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, water. They also stood for directions and seasons. This connection made them more than just pretty colors. Yellow stood for the earth and the center. It became the color of the emperor. In the Tang, Ming, and Qing dynasties, only the royal family could wear bright yellow. The emperor’s clothes and palace roofs (like those of the Forbidden City) were yellow, showing the highest power. Red means fire, the south, and summer. It stands for joy and good luck. During the Chinese New Year, people hang red lanterns and give red packets. At weddings, people wear red and use red decorations to keep away bad luck and celebrate new starts. Even today, red is still the top choice for important and happy events. By mixing the five primary colors, people made secondary colors. For example, green comes from cyan and yellow. It means life and nature. In Chinese gardens, green plants and ponds create a peaceful feeling. Pink, from red and white, means grace. It was often used in women’s clothes. In art, colors are used to express feelings. Ink paintings use black and white in light to dark shades to show mountains, rivers, and feelings. Blue and white porcelain (青花瓷) has a blue design on a white base (基底). It looks clear and elegant. It became famous around the world through the Silk Road. The contrast (对比) between dark blue and bright white creates a clean and timeless beauty with special Eastern magic. It was once popular along the Silk Road, making it a global symbol of Chinese culture. 1．What does the underlined word “aesthetics” in the first paragraph probably mean? A．The study of beauty and taste. B．The study of history and society. C．The study of colors and shapes. D．The study of nature and elements. 2．How does the writer talk about secondary colours in the passage? A．By telling a story of how secondary colors were invented. B．By explaining what they are and giving examples. C．By comparing them with Western secondary colors. D．By listing problems of using secondary colors. 3．According to the passage, why did blue and white porcelain become a global symbol of Chinese culture? A．Because it was only used by Chinese emperors. B．Because making it is very simple. C．Because it has special Eastern beauty and was spread widely. D．Because it uses all five traditional primary colors. 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．The history of Chinese ink paintings. B．The making of blue and white porcelain. C．The cultural meanings and uses of traditional Chinese colors. D．The differences between Chinese and Western color systems. A 2,000-year-old story is now on Jiangsu’s “Su Chao” football field—the famous Chu-Han Contention (楚汉之争) is back! The Jiangsu Football City League, also called “Su Super League” or “Su Chao”, is currently being held. It is an official competition where teams from 13 cities in Jiangsu province play against each other. One of the most exciting matches is between Suqian and Xuzhou. Many people online refer to it as the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field. This name comes from a famous period in Chinese history. After the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC) ended, Xiang Yu, a powerful military leader, declared himself the King of Chu. He gave Liu Bang the title of King of Han. Xiang Yu was from Xiaxiang, which is now Suqian. Liu Bang was from Peixian, which is now Xuzhou. Their battle for control of China, known as the Chu-Han Contention, ended with Liu Bang’s victory. This led to the start of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC—AD 8). Today, in the Su Chao league, every time these two cities play, the match becomes interesting and full of passion (激情). But the rivalry (竞争) doesn’t stop there—it spreads throughout the whole competition. Jiangsu has gone through many historical changes, bringing together cities with different cultures under one province. This has created a strong sense of competition among them. This spirit is captured in the Su Chao motto (格言): “Fight for the glory (荣誉) of your city.” There is also a popular joke among fans: “The game comes first; friendship comes fourteenth.” It’s a joke, but it shows how much they care about their city’s pride. 1．Why do people online call the match between Suqian and Xuzhou the “Chu-Han Contention” on the football field? A．Because both cities have a long history of playing football. B．Because the two teams often win the Su Chao league. C．Because Xiang Yu and Liu Bang had the Chu-Han Contention in history. D．Because the match is always held on the same day as the Chu-Han Contention anniversary. 2．What has made the cities in Jiangsu have a strong sense of competition in Su Chao? A．Jiangsu has many big football stadiums for matches. B．The Su Chao league gives a lot of money to the winning team. C．Jiangsu’s historical changes brought cities with different cultures together. D．The fans of each city don’t like other cities’ teams. 3．Which of the following statements is right? A．Liu Bang was historically born in present-day Suqian. B．The league’s motto promotes (促进) friendship above competition. C．The Su Chao league matches primarily focus on building friendship between cities. D．The modern match between Suqian and Xuzhou shows their historical figures’ conflict (人物冲突). 4．Which sentence matches the Su Chao motto “Fight for the glory of your city”? A．Players should care more about their own fame than team wins. B．Fans’ excitement shows they love their city very much. C．The league does not want cities to compete with each other. D．Teams must learn history before playing matches. Artwork is lovely to look at, and it has the power to make people feel and think differently. But do you know that when people see a real work of art, rather than just looking at a photo of it, they are likely to experience stronger emotions (情绪)? Scientists recently carried out a study at the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, a city in the Netherlands. The museum is home to Girl with a Pearl Earring, a very famous painting by Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer. It was painted in 1665. ① The researchers used eye-tracking equipment and a brain scanner to watch how people reacted to several paintings. First, the volunteers were asked to look at the real paintings on display, and then at photos of the artworks in the museum shop. ② It was shown that their emotional reactions (反应) were 10 times stronger when they looked at the real paintings. The most active part of the brain while looking at the artworks was the area that controls people’s personal identity (身份) and consciousness (意识). ③ How did that happen? According to the study, people may experience something called a “sustained attentional loop” when they watch a certain painting. The volunteers’ attention was first drawn to the girl’s left eye, then her mouth, then to her pearl earring. This certain order of eye movements repeated in a continuous loop. Each time they completed the cycle, their focus became stronger and their connection with Girl with a Pearl Earring was deeper, which meant that people stared at the painting for longer. Martin de Munnik, one of the researchers in this study, said, “That means you have to pay attention whether you want to or not.” It was as if the painting itself had a power to hold the viewers’ attention and guide their eye movement in a very involuntary (无意识的) way. ④ The director of the Mauritshuis, Martine Gosselink, said that the study shows how important it is to go and see art in real life, whether it’s paintings, photography or dancing. She added, “it really helps develop your brain.” The researchers are now eager to broaden their study, planning to visit other museums and do similar experiments on works like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. 1．What is the purpose of the study? A．To explain different ways to study a painting. B．To check people’s interest in museum paintings. C．To find differences between a painting and its photo. D．To watch people’s reactions to real art and its photos. 2．We can put the following sentence “The team also found that the group reacted even more strongly to Girl with a Pearl Earring.” in ________. A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 3．How does the writer introduce the “sustained attentional loop”? A．By giving an example. B．By telling a story. C．By listing numbers. D．By offering advice. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．The Power of Real Works of Art B．Lessons from Real Works of Art C．The Way to Enjoy Real Works of Art D．A Visit to Real Works of Art In the past, the Tala Desert in Qinghai was described by the saying, “When the wind blows, stones roll and no grass grows.” Covering more than 600 square kilometers, 98.5% of this empty land has turned into desert. Almost nothing could live there. Yet, because it receives plenty of sunlight, this “lifeless place” was chosen as the site for one of China’s biggest solar power stations. In 2012, the first sets of solar panels (太阳能板) were set up. They were only meant to collect sunlight to produce electricity, but something unexpected happened for the environment. The panels worked like large sunshades. They reduced direct sunlight, slowed down wind erosion (侵蚀), and helped the soil keep its moisture. In just a few years, plant coverage increased from less than 2% to 80%. However, new problems soon arose. The rapidly growing grass started to block sunlight from reaching the panels. This reduced electricity production and raised the risk of fires. Using chemical weed killers damaged the weak ecosystem, and asking people to cut the grass cost millions of yuan every year. Then, a local herder (牧民) half-jokingly suggested, “Why not let sheep eat the grass?” In 2016, 600 Tibetan sheep officially “started working.” They ate the grass under the panels, keeping it short and improving the soil with their waste. In return, the sheep grew healthier. The herders voluntarily joined the project and even formed a small group to take turns managing the areas, making sure the grass and sheep stay in balance. This created a lasting system of “solar power above, sheep below.” The power station saved on cleaning costs, herders made more money, and the land became healthier. Today, the Tala Desert now supplies over 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually and the number of sheep has increased to over 20,000, creating millions of yuan in value every year. The tale of the “photovoltaic sheep” (光伏羊) shows that when humans cooperate with nature instead of fighting it, even the toughest desert can glow with the hope of sustainable development (可持续发展). 1．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To introduce the problem in the desert. B．To provide the background for the solar project. C．To show the view of the Tala Desert. D．To explain how solar energy works. 2．What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A．The fast-growing grass helped increase electricity production. B．A local scientist first thought of letting sheep eat the grass. C．Using chemical weed killers was useful and helpful. D．Asking people to cut grass cost a great deal of money. 3．What are the achievements of the whole project? ①It generates tons of clean electricity. ②It stopped the wind from blowing in the desert. ③It greatly improved the local environment. ④It helps the local herders to raise sheep. A．①②④ B．①③④ C．②③④ D．①②③ 4．What can we infer from the text? A．Local herders supported the project and took part in it actively. B．The project will be widely used in all deserts around China. C．The main goal of the solar power station was to improve the environment. D．The success of the “photovoltaic sheep” project only happened by chance. Disney’s much-awaited second Zootopia movie, Zootopia 2, has set a new standard in China’s film business. It broke, the single-day box office record for foreign animated films The film won over audiences when it first came out on November 26, 2025. By 8 p. m. that day, it had made 213 million yuan. At the end of its first day, the number reached 228 million yuan. For people who work in the film industry, this amazing result was not a surprise. Before its release, the film had already made history. It got 309.1 million yuan in pre-sales over nine days—setting a new record for animated films in China. It also got 254,000 screenings on its first day, which is the highest number for any foreign film in the. Chinese market. This great excitement led to a high score of 9.7 out of 10 on major: ticket—selling platforms after the film came out. Several things helped the film achieve this huge success.

Performers usually tell stories in teahouses or small theaters, attracting viewers with their lively voices and gestures (姿态). To master Pingshu, artists need years of training. Most learn by studying under their teachers—usually experienced performers. As one famous artist, Yuan Kuocheng said, “Pingshu is work both on body and mind. Performers must memorize long stories and add their own explanations to make the stories more attractive. They also need to understand the deeper meanings of the stories and share their thoughts with the viewers.” During performances, artists stand behind a table. They use tools like a folding fan and a wooden block called Xingmu (醒木). The fan helps act out scenes, such as “drawing a sword (剑)”. The Xingmu is knocked on the table to mark the start of the story or to highlight (突出)—exciting moments. Modern technology has brought both challenges and chances to Pingshu. While young people today prefer online entertainment (娱乐), technology allows artists to record their performances. These recordings can be shared widely, helping more people discover Pingshu. They also protect this art for future young people. More often than not, those who listen to Pingshu stories are older people. While most young people spend hours online, a small number still find value in Pingshu, drawn by its cultural richness and storytelling traditions. Pingshu is not just entertainment—it carries Chinese culture and wisdom.

D．To introduce Pingshu’s history, practice and cultural importance. According to the United Nations, enough plastic waste to fill 2,000 rubbish trucks is poured into waterways such as oceans, rivers, and lakes each day. There’s plastic litter at the bottom of the ocean and on top of Mount Qomolangma. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). According to a study published in February, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as shells. Zuzanna Jagiello is a biologist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland. She’s the study’s lead author. Jagiello said, “For me, a hermit crab in a plastic shell could be an icon of our times. They don’t have homes, so they use rubbish.” Human activity has had a major influence on the environment. Hermit crabs using plastic waste as shells is one example of that impact. Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near oceans. To protect themselves from predators (捕食者), the crabs typically wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea snails (海螺). But according to February’s study, at least 386 hermit crabs have been documented wearing rubbish. Of the world’s 16 species of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have been seen wearing trash. Nearly nine out of every ten of those crabs were wearing plastic waste, such as bottle caps. Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing rubbish when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by going on research. For their study, the researchers scanned the Internet for photos of hermit crabs wearing rubbish. They found photos from all over the world. Some had been taken by scientists. Some had been taken by nature photographers. Many had been taken by people who were just curious. Why are hermit crabs choosing litter instead of snail shells? Scientists have guesses. The number of some sea snails is going down. Hermit crabs could be turning to litter because they can’t find enough seashells. It’s also possible that crabs are choosing plastic because it’s light and easy to carry, or they’re drawn to its flashy colors. Scientists agree that plastic pollution harms wildlife and habitats in many ways. But it isn’t clear that the crabs are in any danger. 1．What’s the purpose of writing the first paragraph? A．To describe water pollution. B．To tell us that plastic is everywhere. C．To show plastic waste is harmful to us. D．To lead us to think about the topic of the text. 2．What does the fourth paragraph mainly tell us? Hermit crabs ______. A．find their new homes B．have a small, soft body C．usually wear seashells D．can protect themselves 3．What are the possible reasons for hermit crabs using plastic according to the passage? ①There are more sea snails than before. ② Plastic has bright colours that the crabs like. ③ Plastic is light and easy for the crabs to carry. ④ Other animals that want to eat the crabs are afraid of plastic. A．①② B．②③ C．③④ D．①③ 4．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Plastic pollution in deep oceans B．Tips for protecting hermit crabs C．Creative crabs wearing rubbish D．Our influence on the environment One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate change, autumn is changing. According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.” Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.” If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to slow down this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently. Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow. 1．Which is the effect of climate change on autumn? A．The season length is becoming shorter. B．Leaves are changing their colors and falling later. C．There are more frosts in autumn. D．Pests are no longer active. 2．What does the word “ruin” most likely mean in the passage? A．Cause damage. B．Improve greatly. C．Become more colorful. D．Change completely. 3．What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to? A．The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s lives. B．Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before. C．The autumn changes because of climate change. D．Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions. 4．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To call for actions against climate change. B．To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. C．To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D．To explain the research about leaf phenology. Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space, like behind a sofa or under the bed? Wouldn’t it be nice to just suck it up and get it out with a tool? Well, robots will soon make this possible. In a study, scientists from the University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have invented small robots that can quickly change into liquid states. They melted (熔化) into liquid and managed to get out of a locked cage during the tests, shocking the whole scientific community. According to the website Mashable, the scientists got the idea from sea cucumbers (海参), which can change the softness of their bodies and easily enter any place. The robots in the study were made from a soft metal, which has a low melting point of only 30°C． The scientists first placed the robot in a magnetic field (磁场). Thanks to the magnetic field, the robot can then be heated into a liquid form, allowing it to enter some hard-to-reach places. After that, by controlling the strength or direction of the magnetic field, the robot can be moved around in a controlled manner. Hopefully, these liquid robots can be widely used in different fields and will not disappoint us. They can help take out a foreign object from a model human stomach. Scientists can use them to repair a TV set by squeezing them into hard-to-reach areas inside the TV set. To prevent humans from being harmed, these robots can perform dangerous tasks in hard-to-reach environments, such as cleaning in nuclear power plants (核电站). “What we’re showing are just ideas that need to be developed further,” said Carmel Majidi of Carnegie Mellon University. “The goal of our future research is to put these liquid robots to use in real-life situations more quickly. We are very confident about achieving this goal.” 1．The writer started the passage by ________.

The government has introduced a new childcare subsidy policy to ease the financial (经济) burden of raising kids. To apply (申请), parents or guardians (监护人) have two choices: using the online childcare subsidy information system, which is very convenient, or applying in person. When applying, they need to prepare simple materials like the child’s birth certificate (出生证明) and household registration booklet (户口本). The subsidy will be paid directly into the bank account of the applicant or the child, to ensure it reaches families safely. Starting from January 1, 2025, families with children under 3 years old can receive a subsidy. The national basic standard is 3,600 yuan per child every year, and it will be given until the child turns 3. Whether it’s the first, second, or third child, each is eligible (符合条件的). For example, if a family has a 2-year-old child, they can get 3,600 yuan this year. For children born before 2025 but still under 3, the subsidy will be calculated based on the remaining months until they turn 3. This policy is really helpful. Raising children costs a lot—from milk powder and diapers to early education. The subsidy can support families with these expenses. It shows the government cares about families and wants to help them raise the next generation. With this support, parents can focus more on their children’s growth, feeling less worried about money. We hope this policy brings more joy and less stress to families, to help every child in China have a better future. 1．What is the main purpose of China’s new childcare subsidy policy?

Most food documentaries in China are about popular restaurants in big cities: However, director Wang Shengzhi chooses a different way—he turns his lens to people’s kitchens in small villages. Directed by Wang, food documentary Taste of Home was broadcast on Fujian’s South East TV on April 7. Each episode introduces two dishes from local families in two villages. People can follow the food preparation and cooking while learning the stories of the families and the food. At the end of each episode, the locals answer one question, usually about local languages or customs. Wang says that the purpose of this part is to take the viewers on a trip back to their hometown. Most of the dishes that appear in the documentary use ingredients from the cooks’ own fields or yards. Wang knows that living in the city, people know little about where the food comes from. “In this documentary I want to show all ingredients have their sources, whether they’re the pigs raised by those in the show, or the vegetables grown in their fields,” he says. Unlike filming restaurant owners or famous cooks who are easier to find, Wang and his team had to work hard to find interviewees for their documentary. ▲ They always said, “I’m not a good cook; why would you like to film me?” Usually, it would take around two days for the family to get comfortable with the film group and start acting naturally in front of the camera. “We must put more effort into our work in order to film the documentary well,” a photographer says. “The documentary shows a feeling of family,” Wang says. “The theme of it is not about heroes but common people.” 1．What can we learn from Taste of Home? ①cooking methods ②travelling tips ③family stories ④village customs A．①②③ B．②③④ C．①③④ D．①②④ 2．Which question is answered in the third paragraph? A．How can we make traditional food? B．Where can we buy fresh ingredients? C．Where are the ingredients in the show from? D．How should we choose ingredients? 3．Which of the following can be put in ▲ ? A．The interviewees could cook the dishes well all the time. B．And the chosen people were often surprised. C．The chosen ones always proudly showed their cooking skills. D．Most of the villagers were glad to share their homemade dishes. 4．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the passage? A．To spread Chinese food culture. B．To introduce a food documentary. C．To show how to make delicious food. D．To encourage people to learn to cook. 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
