But when I reached them, the earthquake stopped. ▲ My family and I were not in danger and our house was still standing. We watched the news about the earthquake.The epicentre(震中) was very close to Muzaffarabad. We felt lucky to be in the city of Kashmir. After we watched the situation in Muzaffarabad, I decided to volunteer to help those people right away. I arrived in the city of Muzaffarabad with a few other volunteers. We tried to help out the people there. After hours of digging, we found a few survivors(幸存者). We quickly sent them to the hospital to make sure they were all right. When they met their families, they cried for joy. That made me very happy. However, not everyone had a happy ending. We also found bodies of those not making it through the earthquake.

Many people choose to volunteer because it allows them to ameliorate conditions in their communities. Whether it's helping the elderly, tutoring children, or cleaning up parks, every small effort contributes to a better world. One of the biggest reasons people volunteer is to support those in need. Some visit nursing homes to spend time with lonely seniors, while others work at animal shelters to care for abandoned pets. Students often volunteer by teaching younger kids or organizing charity events at school. These acts of kindness not only improve others' lives but also bring personal satisfaction. Volunteering also helps people develop important skills. Working with others teaches teamwork, communication, and problem-solving qualities that are useful in school and future careers. For example, someone who volunteers at a hospital might learn how to stay calm in difficult situations, while a volunteer at a food bank gains organizational skills. Beyond practical benefits, volunteering strengthens communities and improves mental well-being. Studies show that helping others reduces stress and increases happiness. When people come together for community gardens, charity runs, or tutoring programmes, neighbourhoods become safer and more connected. “ ▲ ”. Schools often have service projects, and local organizations like libraries and food banks welcome volunteers. Even small acts, like donating clothes or helping a neighbour, make a difference. Volunteering proves that kindness and effort can create positive change for both individuals and society. CDAC ( ) 8．What does the word “ameliorate” in the first paragraph mean? A．Worsen. B．Ignore.

A．Many people dislike volunteering B．Communities rarely need volunteers C．Getting started with volunteering is easy D．Volunteering requires expensive training （D） The Yellow River is known as the mother river of the Chinese people. However, flood control and disaster forecasts of the river have always been challenging for people. Now, scientists can better work on these problems by using the digital twin technology. This kind of technology needs to use different kinds of devices(设备). They are set up along the river to collect information and send it to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is showed on the computer screen. It seems like the Yellow River has a twin that describes its real conditions. One of the most important devices is “smart stones”. A “smart stone” is a kind of detector(探测器) which can send messages to computers. The “smart stones” are put on the banks of the Yellow River to record and report the movement of the stones on the banks. If they feel any movement of these stones, they will send an alarm to the center. In the sky, there are flying drones(无人机). They work to look at the river, its banks and flood prevention projects. The drones provide researchers with photos and information. And the researchers use this information to update(更新) the 3D model to watch the changes in water to avoid disasters. Under the water and in the sky, smart systems are helping to protect the Yellow River. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see an even more complete digital system for the river. CDCB ( ) 12．Why did scientists create a digital twin of the Yellow River? A．To study the historical importance of the river. B．To make people realize the importance of river protection. C．To improve the ability to control floods and forecast disasters. D．To show the quick development of the technology in China. ( ) 13．The “smart stones” are used to __________. A．protect the people playing along the river B．send pictures of the stones on the banks to the center C．stop the stones on the banks from moving into the river D．record and report the movement of the stones on the banks ( ) 14．How do flying drones work above the Yellow River? A．They update the 3D model to avoid disasters. B．They tell weather changes along the river. C．They send photos and information to researchers. D．They control different kinds of detectors on the banks. ( ) 15．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The Yellow River is the symbol of Chinese culture. B．The digital twin technology protects the Yellow River better. C．New devices were invented with the help of new technology. D．Chinese people need to pay attention to the Yellow River. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Yang Xiaojuan and her husband Guo Qingshun run a small baozi shop in Haiyan County of Zhejiang Province. 1.____________ At about 3 a.m. on 29th October, when they were busy making baozi, they heard a loud cry near their shop. 2.____________ She only wore a nappy (尿布).

Beyond practical benefits, volunteering strengthens communities and improves mental well-being. Studies show that helping others reduces stress and increases happiness. When people come together for community gardens, charity runs, or tutoring programmes, neighbourhoods become safer and more connected. “ ▲ ”. Schools often have service projects, and local organizations like libraries and food banks welcome volunteers. Even small acts, like donating clothes or helping a neighbour, make a difference. Volunteering proves that kindness and effort can create positive change for both individuals and society. ( ) 8．What does the word “ameliorate” in the first paragraph mean? A．Worsen. B．Ignore.

However, flood control and disaster forecasts of the river have always been challenging for people. Now, scientists can better work on these problems by using the digital twin technology. This kind of technology needs to use different kinds of devices(设备). They are set up along the river to collect information and send it to the center. Based on the information, a 3D model of the river is showed on the computer screen. It seems like the Yellow River has a twin that describes its real conditions. One of the most important devices is “smart stones”. A “smart stone” is a kind of detector(探测器) which can send messages to computers. The “smart stones” are put on the banks of the Yellow River to record and report the movement of the stones on the banks. If they feel any movement of these stones, they will send an alarm to the center. In the sky, there are flying drones(无人机). They work to look at the river, its banks and flood prevention projects. The drones provide researchers with photos and information. And the researchers use this information to update(更新) the 3D model to watch the changes in water to avoid disasters. Under the water and in the sky, smart systems are helping to protect the Yellow River. According to the Ministry of Water Resources, in the future, we can expect to see an even more complete digital system for the river. ( ) 12．Why did scientists create a digital twin of the Yellow River? A．To study the historical importance of the river. B．To make people realize the importance of river protection. C．To improve the ability to control floods and forecast disasters. D．To show the quick development of the technology in China. ( ) 13．The “smart stones” are used to __________. A．protect the people playing along the river B．send pictures of the stones on the banks to the center C．stop the stones on the banks from moving into the river D．record and report the movement of the stones on the banks ( ) 14．How do flying drones work above the Yellow River? A．They update the 3D model to avoid disasters. B．They tell weather changes along the river. C．They send photos and information to researchers. D．They control different kinds of detectors on the banks. ( ) 15．What is the main idea of this passage? A．The Yellow River is the symbol of Chinese culture. B．The digital twin technology protects the Yellow River better. C．New devices were invented with the help of new technology. D．Chinese people need to pay attention to the Yellow River. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Yang Xiaojuan and her husband Guo Qingshun run a small baozi shop in Haiyan County of Zhejiang Province. 1.____________ At about 3 a.m. on 29th October, when they were busy making baozi, they heard a loud cry near their shop. 2.____________ She only wore a nappy (尿布).

The team of “shared-grandmas” from the Shipingcun Community in Chongqing's Jiulongpo District includes some retired(退休的) women, mostly empty nesters(空巢老人). They volunteer to take care of 25 kids in the community. Working parents of the children who aren't able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian(临时监护人). The volunteers can spare the time and energy for the families and they can also ease their loneliness by doing the job. Deng Lihong is a member of the team. Every weekday, she picks up the children from school, and she accompanies them while they are doing their homework and playing in the community room until their parents pick them up. “I feel young with the kids and my retired life is meaningful,” she said. “The program started in April and the number of the team members is still growing,” Cao Yidan, the chairman of the centre, said. “The program is great and worth promoting(推广) in other places in the country,” an Internet user said. “We encourage the retired women in the community to take part in this public service. It's a win-win situation for the families in need and ‘shared-grandmas’. The feeling of achievement and happiness means a lot to them,” Peng Mei, the secretary of the Party Committee of Shipingcun Community, said. ( ) 4．About working parents, what can we learn from the third paragraph? A．They can't pick up their kids from school on time. B．They want to go home directly after a day's work.

A．How the elderly spend their retired lives B．Empty-nesters volunteer to look after patients C．“Shared-grandmas”—a win-win public service D．A program offers chances to all the elderly to let them enjoy themselves （C） “Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer, said. National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to ask others to take their first step towards becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because people often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some people from sharing their abilities. The following tips can help if you have some of these worries. ★Start out slowly, and don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life. ★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values. ★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked to. ★Work with a experienced volunteer. He or she volunteered a lot, and can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations. ★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them. ★Finally, it is the most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, little things can change a person's life. ( ) 8．What can volunteering help? A．Make a decision. B．See the world more clearly. C．Thank other people. D．Make a person's life better. ( ) 9．What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step? A．They don't have enough time to do it. B．Their families don't allow them to do it. C．They fear that their abilities are shared. D．They don't expect to become volunteers. ( ) 10．Which of the following can help people take the first step? A．Starting out quickly. B．Organizing a training meeting. C．Inviting a friend to be with them. D．Joining a group with different values. ( ) 11．What is the purpose of the text? A．To tell people to make changes in their lives. B．To encourage people to start volunteering. C．To explain the reasons to start volunteering. D．To introduce the volunteer programmes. （D） As the afternoon sets in, the sun begins to warm the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau(青藏高原), making it the peak time for Tibetan antelopes to search for food. After a night without eating, these creatures appear near Zonag Lake in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve. A little larger animal stands out on the grass. Unlike the others, which have lowered their heads to eat, this “antelope” holds its head high, moving carefully toward the herd. It is a robotic antelope, which, from a distance, looks just like the real antelopes nearby, sharing the same fur color and body shape. But up close, there is a hidden(隐藏的) camera in its head. It has strong legs and can walk on hills. At first, the real antelopes seem curious about the newcomer, pausing to look at the mechanical(机械的) stranger. However, the robot does not scare them away. Soon, the real antelopes let it join their group. The robotic antelope walks 2 km with these real antelopes. It takes videos when these real antelopes eat grass. In the past, the real antelopes ran away as soon as they saw someone from a distance—even 500 to 800 meters away. They are afraid of cameras and lots of noise. Now, robots can watch them quietly. Scientists got the idea of making the robotic antelope in February this year. They worked with a company to make this robotic antelope. Now they want the robotic antelope to watch the birth of baby antelopes. The robotic antelope will keep helping scientists learn about these special animals. ( ) 12．The real antelopes let the robotic antelope join their group because __________. A．the robotic antelope makes a lot of noise B．the real antelopes are afraid of the robotic antelope C．the robotic antelope looks similar to real antelopes D．the robotic antelope can run faster than real antelopes ( ) 13．How does the author introduce the robotic antelope in Paragraph 3? A．By telling a story about an antelope and a robot. B．By comparing the robotic antelope with real antelopes. C．By listing several numbers of the robotic antelope. D．By explaining how to make a robotic antelope. ( ) 14．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The robotic antelope isn't able to run after the real antelopes. B．Scientists finished the robotic antelope in February. C．The robotic antelope is able to give birth to baby antelopes. D．When you make much noise, real antelopes will run away from you. ( ) 15．What is the main idea of this passage? A．How Tibetan antelopes live in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve. B．How scientists made a robotic antelope to play with real antelopes. C．A robotic antelope helps scientists watch and learn about real antelopes. D．Why Tibetan antelopes are afraid of humans and the robotic antelope. 三、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） Anyone can make a difference in their community, even teenagers! Think about what is important to you.

One of the biggest reasons people volunteer is to support those in need.Some visit nursing homes to spend time with lonely seniors,while others work at animal shelters to care for abandoned pets.Students often volunteer by teaching younger kids or organizing charity events at school. These acts of kindness not only improve others'lives but also bring personal satisfaction. Volunteering also helps people develop important skills.Working with others teaches teamwork,communication,and problem-solving qualities that are useful in school and future careers.For example,someone who volunteers at a hospital might learn how to stay calm in difficult situations,while a volunteer at a food bank gains organizational skills. Beyond practical benefits,volunteering strengthens communities and improves mental well-being.Studies show that helping others reduces stress and increases happiness.When people come together for community gardens,charity runs,or tutoring programmes,neighbourhoods become safer and more connected.

One of the biggest reasons people volunteer is to support those in need.Some visit nursing homes to spend time with lonely seniors,while others work at animal shelters to care for abandoned pets.Students often volunteer by teaching younger kids or organizing charity events at school. These acts of kindness not only improve others'lives but also bring personal satisfaction. Volunteering also helps people develop important skills.Working with others teaches teamwork,communication,and problem-solving qualities that are useful in school and future careers.For example,someone who volunteers at a hospital might learn how to stay calm in difficult situations,while a volunteer at a food bank gains organizational skills. Beyond practical benefits,volunteering strengthens communities and improves mental well-being.Studies show that helping others reduces stress and increases happiness.When people come together for community gardens,charity runs,or tutoring programmes,neighbourhoods become safer and more connected. ""Schools often have service projects,and local organizations like libraries and food banks welcome volunteers.Even small acts,like donating clothes or helping a neighbour, make a difference.Volunteering proves that kindness and effort can create positive change for both individuals and society.CDAC ()8.What does the word "ameliorate"in the first paragraph mean?

The team of “shared-grandmas” from the Shipingcun Community in Chongqing's Jiulongpo District includes some retired(退休的) women, mostly empty nesters(空巢老人). They volunteer to take care of 25 kids in the community. Working parents of the children who aren't able to pick up their kids from school are in need of a temporary guardian(临时监护人). The volunteers can spare the time and energy for the families and they can also ease their loneliness by doing the job. Deng Lihong is a member of the team. Every weekday, she picks up the children from school, and she accompanies them while they are doing their homework and playing in the community room until their parents pick them up. “I feel young with the kids and my retired life is meaningful,” she said. “The program started in April and the number of the team members is still growing,” Cao Yidan, the chairman of the centre, said. “The program is great and worth promoting(推广) in other places in the country,” an Internet user said. “We encourage the retired women in the community to take part in this public service. It's a win-win situation for the families in need and ‘shared-grandmas’. The feeling of achievement and happiness means a lot to them,” Peng Mei, the secretary of the Party Committee of Shipingcun Community, said. ADDC ( ) 4．About working parents, what can we learn from the third paragraph? A．They can't pick up their kids from school on time. B．They want to go home directly after a day's work.

You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person,” Mason, a volunteer, said. National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity to ask others to take their first step towards becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because people often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations. Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some people from sharing their abilities. The following tips can help if you have some of these worries. ★Start out slowly, and don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life. ★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values. ★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked to. ★Work with a experienced volunteer. He or she volunteered a lot, and can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations. ★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them. ★Finally, it is the most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity. Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, little things can change a person's life. DACB ( ) 8．What can volunteering help? A．Make a decision. B．See the world more clearly. C．Thank other people. D．Make a person's life better. ( ) 9．What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step? A．They don't have enough time to do it.

After a night without eating, these creatures appear near Zonag Lake in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve. A little larger animal stands out on the grass. Unlike the others, which have lowered their heads to eat, this “antelope” holds its head high, moving carefully toward the herd. It is a robotic antelope, which, from a distance, looks just like the real antelopes nearby, sharing the same fur color and body shape. But up close, there is a hidden(隐藏的) camera in its head. It has strong legs and can walk on hills. At first, the real antelopes seem curious about the newcomer, pausing to look at the mechanical(机械的) stranger. However, the robot does not scare them away. Soon, the real antelopes let it join their group. The robotic antelope walks 2 km with these real antelopes. It takes videos when these real antelopes eat grass. In the past, the real antelopes ran away as soon as they saw someone from a distance—even 500 to 800 meters away. They are afraid of cameras and lots of noise. Now, robots can watch them quietly. CBDC Scientists got the idea of making the robotic antelope in February this year. They worked with a company to make this robotic antelope. Now they want the robotic antelope to watch the birth of baby antelopes. The robotic antelope will keep helping scientists learn about these special animals.

B．Scientists finished the robotic antelope in February. C．The robotic antelope is able to give birth to baby antelopes. D．When you make much noise, real antelopes will run away from you. ( ) 15．What is the main idea of this passage? A．How Tibetan antelopes live in the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve. B．How scientists made a robotic antelope to play with real antelopes.
