Discover MyPlate: A MyPlate Meal
Learn about the five food groups, healthy eating, and reading! This colorful book introduces kindergarten-aged children to foods from all five food groups of MyPlate, while building literacy skills (读写能力) through the use of sight words, interactive games and activities, and more!
The Little Acorn
The Little Acorn is written from the eye of a squirrel who buries an acorn near a stream. As it occasionally checks back on the oak nut, the squirrel sees for itself the tree’s growth during the course of seasonal changes. Spring rains, summer heat, and autumn winds condition the baby oak. What starts as a tiny seed in a tough shell finally grows into a “big, beautiful oak tree… dropping little acorns of its own.”
Why Would Anyone Cut a Tree Down?
This U.S. Forest Service publication teaches kids that “people need to cut some trees down, but that is not the end of the story.” It explores various uses for wood from cut trees—such as materials for construction, nutrients for fresh soil, and stumps for new shoots. The book also includes a note to adults about the basics of tree care. Cutting down a tree is a form of caring for that tree. It makes room for more life in the exchange of another.

Alya Mono entered my life many years ago while living in Delhi. Our fathers were close friends, and by some quiet magic, we became friends too. We spent much time together, exchanging thoughts on culture, politics, education, and everything in between. Before she left for Kyrgyzstan, we — Gen Z kids — didn’t know when we’d meet next.
Two years passed without contact. Then, by pure chance and surprise, I visited her in the summer of 2025. Bishkek greeted me with fresh air and familiar warmth, but the day I spent with Alya transformed the place from just another destination to something more. Our families had first reunited in the mountains, where Alya and I shared an exciting horse-riding experience — one that brought us even closer. Later, she invited me to spend the day with her and two of her friends over lunch and a visit to the national museum.
One of the girls was from Belarus, the other from Kyrgyzstan. We talked about everything — from the weather and food to shared fears and the common feeling of post-soviet identity. We ended up bonding over cheesecakes, exchanging stories about our cultures, and surprising at how easily we connected. It felt like the world had turned into one café table: four women, four lives, one day of open-hearted exchange. The landscape outside mirrored what I felt inside: unfamiliar, but grounding.
That day reminded me how rare it is to pick up right where you left off. No awkwardness, no catching up required, just presence. Alya and I didn’t just reunite; we rediscovered a bond made of shared silences, life curiosity, and that rare ease you don’t find twice.
4. Why is Bishkek more than a destination to the author?
A. It deepens the ties between girls. B. It provides horse-riding experiences.
C. It has fresh air and familiar warmth. D. It offers a visit to the national museum.
5. What does the writer think of the reunion with Alya?
A. Formal and relaxing. B. Unavoidable and serious.
C. Silent and surprising. D. Unexpected and precious.
6. What made the author feel “it is rare to pick up right where you left off”?
A. Shared curiosity. B. Detailed arrangements.
C. Natural interaction. D. Common backgrounds.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Day of Connection B. Two Friends in Need
C. An Encounter in Delhi D. Two Years of Separation
C
Save the gorilla (大猩猩)! Protect tigers! Help the giant kangaroo rats! You’ve probably heard the first two slogans but maybe not the last one. We’re often interested in supporting the protection of animals like gorillas and tigers but less concerned for creatures like rats. Are our stereotypes (刻板印象) affecting which animals we choose to protect?
Researchers have studied how people view animals based on two qualities: “warmth” (how friendly we think they are) and “competence” (how capable they seem). Animals we see as companions, such as dogs and monkeys, score high in both warmth and competence. This makes us eager to protect them. Predators (捕食者) like tigers and bears are seen as competent but not very warm. While some people admire these animals, others may fear or hunt them. Animals viewed as prey (猎物), like cows and rabbits, often receive less attention, but people are prepared to actively harm those considered pests, such as rats and mice.
However, this might not be the full story. National Geographic Magazine asked their readers which animals were the most important to save. Four of the top five fit the companion or predator types-elephants, tigers, whales and polar bears. But the most popular animal to save was the bee. It seems that apart from concerns around warmth and competence, people are aware how species can affect the wider ecosystem and value bees as pollinators (传粉者).
At present, 27,000 species are becoming extinct every year. How do zoos and protection projects decide which animals to support? One factor is the importance of an animal to the wider ecosystem, but this can lead to some difficult choices. It’s reported that in Australia, koalas are much less important to the ecosystem than some lesser-known animals such as woylies. However, they also suggest a solution to this issue. To conserve cute animals, such as koalas, it’s important to protect their entire habitat-and this can save a wide variety of species. It could be that many animals can be sheltered by koalas’ cuteness.
8. What’s the focus of the research?
A. How human views affect animal protection efforts.
B. What qualities different types of animal species have.
C. How human activities influence wildlife populations.
D. What characteristics affect public interest in species.
9. What do we know from paragraph 2?
A. Companions are more capable than others. B. Predators are always feared and hunted.
C. Animals seen as friendly are more protected. D. Pests are generally well-liked by people.
10. Why are bees an important species to save?
A. They are popular pets among humans.
B. They rank high in warmth and competence.
C. They are the largest pollinators in ecosystems.
D. They support species variety through pollination.
11. What’s the purpose of mentioning koalas in the last paragraph?
A. To highlight the popularity of certain cute animals.
B. To offer suggestions on effective koalas protection.
C. To stress the difficulty of making conservation decisions.
D. To inform readers of the importance of habitat protection.
D
In the era of globalization, Western fast food and processed food have swept the world, and many traditional cuisines are facing the risk of being forgotten. Some people believe that traditional food is outdated and cannot adapt to the fast-paced modern life, but in fact, traditional food is not only a kind of nutrition but also a carrier of memories and culture, which is irreplaceable for people and society.
Traditional food is closely linked to people’s emotional memories. For settlers living abroad, a bowl of hometown noodles or a plate of traditional cakes can relieve homesickness and make them feel connected to their roots. For the elderly, the taste of traditional food reminds them of their youth and family gatherings. These emotional connections cannot be replaced by fast food.
Moreover, traditional food contains the wisdom of ancestors in adapting to the local environment. For example, the spicy cuisine in Sichuan, China, helps people get rid of dampness, which is a dietary solution formed by people over a long period of time.
In addition, traditional food plays a primary role in inheriting (传承) cultural heritage. Every traditional dish has its own production techniques and cultural meanings. Making dumplings during the Spring Festival in China and making mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival both carry unique cultural meanings. These dietary customs strengthen people’s sense of identity and belonging to their own culture. When people pass on the production methods of traditional food to the next generation, they are also passing on cultural traditions and values.
To protect traditional food, governments can support local inheritors, schools can carry out food culture courses, and media can promote traditional cuisines. In the process of seeking a modern life, we should not desert traditional food. Instead, we should mix it into daily life, so that it can continue to pass on and shine with new energy.
12. What is the author’s main argument about traditional food?
A It has been forgotten due to globalization.
B. It holds necessary value beyond nutrition.
C. It has been well received across the world.
D. It needs to be updated for modern lifestyles.
13. What’s the deeper significance of passing on food-making skills?
A. It delivers cultural customs and ideals.
B. It improves family’s cooking efficiency.
C. It is a way to teach healthy eating habits.
D. It helps people adapt to local environments.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of traditional food?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Tolerant.
15. How does the text develop?
A. Phenomenon—Analysis—Summary B. Explanation—Exploration—Expectation
C. Introduction—Function—Suggestion D. Classification—Discussion—Conclusion

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Mary and her parents were downstairs in the living room, anxiously watching the rain pour down outside. It had been raining continuously for three days, and the storm showed no sign of letting up. The wind howled fiercely, causing the trees to sway violently, while the rain hammered against the windows and roof. Mary had never seen a storm this bad. It was making her nervous.
As they listened to the weather report on the radio, Mary’s heart raced with fear. The report confirmed their worst fears — the city was already flooded. Mary felt a surge of panic and said suddenly, “Mum, Dad, I think we should leave here right away.” “No, it’s too late.” said Dad, shaking his head.
“We can drive our car through the floodwater. Let’s leave. I’m really scared,” cried Mary. “We can’t do that, honey,” explained Mum. “The water could wash the car away.”
Mary walked to the door. She could hear the rain pounding against it and she couldn't resist the urge to see for herself how bad the flooding was. “Don’t open the door,” shouted Mum and Dad at the same time, “The water could flood in.”
Dad moved the dinner table against the door, in case the floodwater forced the door open. Mum gestured for Mary to sit on the sofa. “Mary, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be OK,” she said softly, trying her best to comfort her daughter. Despite her comforting tone, Mary could sense the worry in her mother’s voice.
Without saying a single word, Dad walked to the sofa and sat down. He wrapped his arms tightly around his wife and daughter, trying to provide comfort and security in the midst of the storm. The sudden silence in the house seemed to make the wind and rain outside even more frightening. As the storm raged on, a sense of anxiety lingered in the air.
注意:
1.续写词数应为50左右;

【答案】【参考范文】
Dear fellow students,
Good morning! It’s a great honour to deliver a speech about protecting wild animals. At present, the situation of wild animals is extremely worrying. Their habitats are being continuously destroyed due to human activities like deforestation and urban expansion. Besides, illegal hunting for profit remains a serious threat, pushing many species to the verge of extinction.
To change this, we can take practical steps. First, we should advocate for the use of sustainable products to reduce the damage to their habitats. Second, spreading awareness of wildlife protection among our friends and family can make a difference. Let’s work together to safeguard these precious creatures.
Thank you!
【答案】例文
All of a sudden, the floodwater forced the door open. The three of them stood frozen in horror as water gushed into the living room, quickly rising and soaking their feet. Mary screamed and grabbed onto her parents tightly. Mum acted quickly, grabbing a life jacket and putting it on Mary. Dad attempted to push the table against the door to stop the water from rushing in, but it was no use. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Dad made a quick decision. He carried Mary while holding Mum's hand, making their way up to the second floor. With each step, they could feel the water rising behind them.
Being upstairs, they breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe for the moment. Looking out of the window, Mary could see the water continuing to rise, swallowing everything in its path. They huddled together, hoping the storm would pass soon. At this moment, the sound of sirens cut through the howling wind from a distance, indicating that rescue teams were on their way. A glimmer of hope sparked within them. Despite the chaos outside, a sense of unity and strength filled the room, reminding them that they could weather any storm as long as they stayed together.
