Many people like horses because they work hard and never give up. Horses are very important in people’s daily life. On the Tea-Horse Road, horses carry tea and silk across mountains and rivers. The road is long and sometimes difficult, but horses keep going. People say “Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li”. It means we can know a horse’s ability after a long trip. This saying also tells us that time can show what a person is really like. Horses are part of local culture, too. In some villages in Yunnan, people dance the Horse Lantern Dance (马灯舞) to wish for a good year. In Kunming, the Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Gate (金马碧鸡坊) is very famous. It shows the city’s history and people’s love for horses. Horses are also popular in Chinese art. Today, many people still like pictures of horses. Xu Beihong is a famous Chinese painter, and he painted many horses. In his pictures, the horses look strong. Some run very fast, and some are ready to run. When people look at his horse pictures, they can feel excited. People also talk about horses in many sayings. “Qian Li Ma” means a person who does well in study or work. It tells students that a good learner should work hard and keep learning. “Ma Dao Chenggong” and “Long Ma Jingshen” are good wishes for doing things well. 21. On the Tea-Horse Road, horses carry tea and flowers across mountains. 22. The saying “Lu Yao Zhi Ma Li” tells us that time can show a person’s true character. 23. The Horse Lantern Dance is performed in every village across Yunnan Province during the New Year. 24. Xu Beihong’s horse paintings are popular because they make people feel calm and peaceful. 25.

Recently a 17-year-old student from Shandong has shown us a perfect answer with his kind act. In May, 2025, while the student was rushing into his important exam, his classmate suddenly had a heart problem and fell down next to him. The student used CPR (心肺复苏) skills he learned at school to save his classmate right away. With the driver’s help, he sent his classmate to the hospital in just seven minutes—half the usual time. Thanks to their teamwork, his classmate was out of danger. However, the student was already too late for the exam, and he missed it. This story quickly spread online and touched millions of people deeply. Many people spoke highly of the student as a hero. The education department (部门) also admired him for his courage and allowed him to take a make-up exam (补考). It shows that education is not just about grades but also developing a good character and a sense of responsibility (责任). The student missed the exam, but he didn’t regret his decision. When he was asked about the exam, he said, “Exams can be retaken, but life cannot.” This story isn’t just about the student’s kindness, it also tells us the true meaning of education. As one expert said, “Exams test knowledge, while the young man’s choice tested his character, and he scored perfectly.” 31. What did the student do on his way to the important exam? A.

C Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing into the sea and never returning? This poem describes a very beautiful scene of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is the cradle of China’s civilization (中华文明的摇篮). It’s in northern China. It runs through nine provinces from west to east. It looks like the Chinese character “几”. It is the second longest river in China, and the fifth longest in the world. The Yellow River is also called the “mother river of China”. So flood (洪水) control and prevention have always been the key to the happy lives of people. Now, scientists can better solve these problems by giving the river a digital (数字) twin. The Yellow River’s digital twin uses new technologies such as big data (数据), AI and Internet of things to collect and send the information to the control center. According to the information, a 3D model of the river is shown on the computer screen, and it reflects the real conditions of the Yellow River. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin. One big success in the Yellow River’s protection is “smart stones”. They are put in important places along the river to record the movement of the river. As soon as smart stones feel the unusual movement of the river, they’ll send an alarm to the control center at once. In this way, the government can take action to protect the Yellow River in time. And in the sky, drones (无人机) are flying to survey the flood prevention projects. Thanks to the drones, scientists can get the information about the Yellow River in time. Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent devices (设备) are helping to protect the Yellow River. In the future, we’ll try our best to create better ways for the mother river’s protection. 36. According to the map, the “sea” in Paragraph 1 refers to _________. A. the Yellow Sea B. the Bohai Sea C. the South China Sea D. the East China Sea 37. How does the writer introduce the Yellow River in Paragraph 2? A. By listing numbers. B. By telling a story. C. By comparing opinions. D. By asking questions. 38. The intelligent devices are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT _________. A. drones B. smart stones C. intelligent cars D. a digital twin 39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The Yellow River runs through nine provinces. B. The digital twin only uses big data to make a 3D model. C. Smart stones can feel the unusual movement of the river. D. Drones help to get the information about the Yellow River. 40. What could be the best title for the passage? A. The Location of the Yellow River B. Beautiful Scenes of the Yellow River C. A Poem of Praising the Yellow River D. New Ways of Protecting the Yellow River 第三节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) In our daily life, we are often kind to others, while sometimes we forget to be kind to ourselves. In fact, it’s important to treat yourself kindly. But the question is how to do that. ____41____ First, accept that nobody is perfect. ____42____ When you make mistakes, don’t be strict with yourself. Think about how you’ll comfort your friend in the same situation. So why not treat yourself in the same way? ____43____ Learning new things takes time.

You can say “I can do this.” or “I’m doing my best.” ____45____ To tell the truth, being kind to yourself isn’t selfish (自私的). It helps you grow and be happier.
