Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy.
According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss.
The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024.
Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet.

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

Cucumbers (黄瓜) are not just great in salads (沙拉). Some people put them in sandwiches, some like turning them into juice, and others even put them on their faces for skincare (护肤). With all these great uses, it’s hard to believe cucumbers aren’t for everyone—you might have heard cats are afraid of them. Why is that?
We decided to look into it and watched some videos online. In these videos, many cats seem truly afraid of cucumbers. The videos usually show a person putting a cucumber behind cats while they are busy eating or playing. When the cats turn around and see the cucumber, their reaction can be hilarious! Some cats jump high in the air and run away like their tails are on fire. Others look at the cucumber with wide eyes as if it might jump at them. While a few cats don’t show fear (恐惧), most seem pretty cautious (谨慎的). So what’s happening here?
One thought is that cats might mistake cucumbers for snakes. To a cat, a cucumber can be a big surprise. If they see something long and green, they might think it’s dangerous. Another idea is that cats are afraid of the unknown. When something suddenly appears behind them, they might react the same way—whether it’s a cucumber, a shopping bag, or even a toy spider (蜘蛛)!
While it might sound funny to surprise cats with cucumbers, experts say this isn’t a good idea. It’s not nice to make animals feel afraid. So the next time you see a cucumber, remember that it’s best to keep it for salads and sandwiches—not as a way to surprise your pets. Just like people, your animal friends have their fears!
1.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Cats are afraid of cucumbers. B.Some people like cucumber juice.
C.Cucumbers have many great uses. D.People use cucumbers for skincare.
2.What does the underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.sad B.funny C.exciting D.dangerous
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.The risk of surprising cats with toys.
B.Useful ways to help cats deal with fears.
C.The reaction of cats when they see cucumbers.
D.Possible reasons why cats are afraid of cucumbers.
4.Which of the following may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?
A.Cats have fears. B.Animals need surprises.
C.People should eat salads. D.It is nice to play with cats.
5.What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To encourage people to have cucumbers. B.To explain a funny and strange act of cats.
C.To ask people to get along with all animals. D.To show people’s need for healthy eating.

Libraries around the world hold millions of old books. These books are important parts of our history and culture. However, many of them are in poor condition. Some pages become weak, and the words on them may become difficult to read. Some words are even missing. Luckily, Artificial Intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is now helping to save these old books.
How does AI do this? First, workers take clear digital pictures of the old pages. Then, the AI system studies these pictures carefully. It looks at the words around the empty spaces and guesses what the missing words might be. This helps to complete the book digitally without touching the original one, which could be easily damaged.
Once a book is digitally repaired, it can be transformed into an e-book or added to an online database. ▲ . For example, a student living in a small village can now read a special old book online. Before, he might have had to travel to a big city library to see it.
AI can also help organize these digital books. It can sort them by their topics, time, or writers. This makes it much easier for students and teachers to find the information they need quickly.
Using AI to save old books is a new and good way to protect our history. It serves as a powerful bridge connecting the past with the future, ensuring that the wisdom and stories contained in these old books will not be forgotten and will continue to teach people in the future.

English lessons at a Shanghai middle school have transformed into learning adventures. Instead of traditional textbooks and blackboards, students use virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) technology and have interactive conversations with an AI character to explore language and culture.
In one lesson, learners meet “Hannah”, a virtual French teenager worried about a New Year’s Eve dinner in China—she doesn’t know local traditions or basic rules. Their main task is to talk to her in English: offer useful advice, share cultural tips, and help her deal with “culture shock”. As they interact, students naturally practice conversational sentences while learning about Chinese customs.
The high-tech experience doesn’t stop here. The classroom has VR headsets that take students to vivid, simulated (仿真的) environments. When they put on the devices, they feel like stepping into a busy international food festival, surrounded by food stalls. They can observe foods closely, listen to native speakers’ introductions, and “interact” with virtual sellers which makes vocabulary memorization far easier than repetition.
“This isn’t just about memorizing textbook words,” said an English teacher. “It’s about using language in real-life situations. Students are more interested because they’re truly helping someone and exploring the world firsthand, not just taking in information inactively.”
This creative use of technology shows how AI and VR can create powerful and fun learning experiences. It helps students practice English conversation naturally, build cultural understanding, and makes the classroom a gateway to the wider world.

5.最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了对健康有益的超级食物,因此最佳标题为“健康超级食物指南”。故选C。
These days, drones (无人机), also called UAVs, aren’t just cool high-tech tools for taking pictures. In the countryside, they’re becoming more and more important. They’re bringing new ways to help do difficult work and make big changes in farming and other country jobs.
One big use of them is in farming. Farmers can use drones to look over their fields. These drones have special cameras. They can fly up high and take pictures of the crops. Then, by looking at these pictures, farmers can tell if their crops have enough water, sunlight, or food. Instead of walking around the whole big field to check, they can use a drone to look at everything fast. In the past, older farmers used to carry oranges on their backs. It was hard work. Few young people are willing to do it. But now a farmer can use a drone to carry heavy things. It flies 200 meters in just 1 minute, while a man needs 30 minutes.
▲ . They can watch how the animals move and check whether they’re healthy or not. In big pastures (牧场), it’s really hard for farmers to watch all the animals all the time. Drones can easily get to faraway and hard-to-reach places. This helps look after farm animals well, so people’s lives and work can go on smoothly.
However, using drones in the countryside isn’t always easy. For example, there are strict regulations on drone flights in many places. Farmers have to make sure they fly their drones in the right way. Also, buying a good drone and all the things that go with it can be expensive for some farmers. But as technology gets better and the market gets more nature, these problems will probably be solved little by little.
1.How can farmers tell if their crops have problems according to paragraph 2?
A.By walking around the field to check.
B.By listening to the sound of the crops.
C.By looking at the pictures taken by drones.
D.By asking experts for advice.
2.Which of the following may best show the flying ability of drones?
A. B. C. D.
3.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” ?
A.Drones fly faster than birds.
B.Drones also help take care of farm animals.
C.Drones are good for farmers.
D.Drones will be used in other places.
4.What does the underlined word “regulations” probably mean?
A.advice. B.tips. C.times. D.rules.
5.Which will be the best title for the passage?
A.Drones: Not Cool High-Tech Tools
B.Drones: Problems and Solutions
C.Drones: Making Big Changes in the Countryside
D.Drones: A New Way of Taking Pictures

Planting trees can be good for the planet! Trees help by taking in carbon dioxide, which makes the planet warmer, to make their food. So, planting trees seems like a good idea to help cool the earth, right? Well, not quite. Where you choose to plant trees matters a lot.
Scientists have learned that not all places are good for planting trees. They made a special map to show the best places to plant trees. In these places, trees can really help cool the planet.
As far as we know, trees are usually dark and absorb heat from the sun. Light colors, like white, do the opposite, though. They reflect sunlight. Snow and ice are very good at reflecting sunlight, which helps keep the planet cool. So what will happen if we plant dark trees in icy places? These places will take in more heat instead of reflecting it. So, these are not the best places to plant trees.
At the same time, scientists found that trees can be very helpful in certain places. For example, in warm and wet areas like the Amazon and Congo Basin, trees can take in a lot of carbon dioxide without changing how much sunlight is reflected. These are great places to plant trees!
Scientists say that planting trees is still a good idea. But with this research, people can make better choices about where to plant trees to help cool the earth better.
1.How did scientists help with tree planting?
A.They created equipment to help reflect sunlight.
B.They invented a machine to help plant trees faster.
C.They made a map to show the best places to plant trees.

Technology has done wonders for our world, from development in medicine, travel to our day-to-day lives. It has greatly changed how society works and how we connect with each other. However, as we fully welcome technology, a question comes up: Are we losing our ability to be creative? ①
On one hand, technology supports creativity. Tools like design software, social media, and online platforms enable people to turn ideas into reality. For example, businesses use creative ads to share new products, while artists use digital tools to express themselves. ② Technology encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving.
However, there are downsides. Many people depend too heavily on computers for tasks like calculations, reducing their need to think for themselves. Others spend hours staring at screens, leaving little time for creative activities. ③
So, how can we balance technology and creativity? Here are some simple steps:
First, reduce screen time. Turn off unnecessary notifications (通知) or use “Do Not Disturb” mode (勿扰模式) to focus on real-world tasks.
Second, spend time outdoors. A daily walk in nature clears your mind and inspires fresh ideas.
Third, try screen-free hobbies. Reading, travelling, or drawing lets you explore ideas without technology.
The future of creativity depends on our choices. Will you put your phone down during meals? Will you try to find joy beyond screens? ④ Small actions today can improve the relationship between technology and creativity.
1.How does the writer start the passage?
A.By telling stories. B.By asking questions
C.By using numbers D.By expressing opinions.
2.What does the underlined word “innovative” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Hard B.Positive C.Clear D.Creative
3.The sentence “Over time, this habit can weaken our natural creativity.” most probably comes from ________.
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
4.Which of the following does the writer most probably agree with?
A.Using phones less can help us to develop creativity.
B.Spending time on screens is the easiest way to keep focused.
C.Turning off the notifications on the phone will make us feel worried.
D.A daily walk is more helpful to physical health than to mental health.

France plans to ban (禁止) social media use for students under 15 years old from September 2026. The goal is to protect teenagers’ physical and mental health. An early and unfinished law will be sent to the law-making group in January 2026 for further discussion. Besides the social media ban, it also wants to widen the mobile phone ban from primary to secondary schools in order to create a more focused learning environment for younger students.
President Emmanuel Macron said social media brings big risks to young people’s growth. Studies have shown too much use can cause cyberbullying (网络霸凌), sleep problems, anxiety and poor school work. Young people’s self-control is not yet strong at this age, so they are easily influenced by bad content like violent (暴力的) videos and harmful messages.
The law has two key rules. First, social media apps must stop teenagers from making or using accounts (账号). The French government will surely enforce this rule. Second, mobile phones -will be banned in middle schools to help students focus on daily study and classroom interactions. The government also hopes the law will be ready by September 2026 when the new school year starts across the country.
A survey shows 73% of French people support the ban. They care a lot about teenagers’ online safety and believe the ban is necessary to protect young people from online harms. Australia has already banned social media for students under 16 years old since December 2025, which is the first country to take such a step.
1.Why does France want to ban social media use for teenagers?
A.To protect teenagers’ physical and mental health.
B.To let teenagers spend more time on part-time jobs.
C.To encourage teenagers to read more paper books.
D.To make teenagers focus on learning traditional culture.
2.Which risk of social media is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Cyberbullying B.Sleep problems C.Poor eyesight D.Bad school work
3.What does the underlined word “enforce” probably mean?
A.Write down. B.Give up. C.Talk about. D.Carry out.
4.What can we know from the passage?
A.The ban is already a law in France.
B.Mobile phones are banned in French senior high schools now.
C.Most French people agree with the ban.
D.Australia banned social media for students under 15 years old first.
5.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Social media bans in Europe.
B.France’s plan to ban social media for students under 15.
C.The history of social media development in France.
D.Differences between France’s and Australia’s bans.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.D 4.C 5.B

Climate (气候) change has caused serious health problems around the world. More and more people have paid attention to the problems caused by climate change.
Terrible events such as high temperatures, floods (洪水), and wildfires usually happen around the world. For example, there was heavy rain in Liaoning in 2024 and long hot days in the south that year. These events destroyed houses as well as farmland and made people move. In 2025, floods caused more than 400 deaths in China. Over 1.7 million Chinese need to move to safe places and are in need of help because of floods.
Another big problem is air pollution. It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal. What’s more, climate change makes Beijing’s pollen (花粉) seasons longer and worse. The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on 15th March. Its 2025 spring pollen season came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024. When storms come, they break pollen into very small pieces. These small pieces easily get into people’s noses and throats. ________ All these changes are especially bad for children and old people.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries. They want to build a healthy system that is good for the environment. This includes training doctors, providing good medical machines and making low-carbon (低碳的) projects. For example, some countries are using green energy like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution.
Now, countries around the world are making efforts for this. By joining efforts in energy, environmental protection and public health, the world can be better.
1.When the writer talks about the floods in 2025, the numbers are mentioned to ________.
A.show that China has more floods than other countries
B.show that people hate living in flood areas

Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after a rain. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the Sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground. This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.
The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop, these colors can separate out.
Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this “refraction” (折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrop at the right angle, the refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors.
We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise (a mix of blue and green). Brown is a mix of red and green. But they aren’t next to each other in the rainbow, so we don’t see them mix to make brown.
We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when there’s no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.
1.How does the passage begin?
A.By introducing a common natural phenomenon (现象).
B.By asking a question to get readers’ attention.
C.By stating a scientific fact.
D.By telling a story.
2.We can see a rainbow under the right conditions because _________.
A.the raindrops are like little balls B.the light goes through raindrops
C.the sunshine seems to be colorful D.the weather is foggy after it rains
3.According to the passage, what can we know about the colors in the rainbow?
A.They can become brown or black. B.There are only seven colors in all.
C.They mix to make the white light. D.Their own places can be changed.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How are the colors received in the rainbow?
B.When can the colors turn blue in the rainbow?
C.Which colors aren’t covered with light in the rainbow?
D.Why can’t we find white, black and brown in the rainbow?
5.Which of the following is the best division of the passage?
A.①②/③/④⑤ B.①/②③/④⑤ C.①/②③④/⑤ D.①②③/④/⑤
【答案】1.A 2.B 3.C 4.D 5.B

1.细节理解题。根据文章首句“Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after a rain.”可知,作者以大家都见过的雨后彩虹这一常见自然现象开篇,引出下文对彩虹的相关介绍。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.”可知,我们能在合适条件下看到彩虹,是因为彩虹是由光穿过水滴形成的。故选B。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.”可知,白色是所有颜色混合在一起的颜色,当光被雨滴折射时,它把白光分离出来,也就意味着白光不再白,即彩虹中的颜色混合形成了白光。故选C。
4.最佳标题题。文章主要围绕彩虹中颜色的形成、混合等情况展开,解释了为什么在彩虹中找不到白色、黑色和棕色这三种颜色。故选D。
5.篇章结构题。文章①段引出彩虹话题,介绍彩虹形成的条件;②③段讲解彩虹形成的科学原理,即光的折射使白光分解出不同颜色;④⑤段分别说明彩虹中看不到棕色、黑色和白色的原因。因此文章的最佳划分是①/②③/④⑤。故选B。

Everyone knows that forests help fight climate change. However, a recent scientific report shows that the world lost 300,000 square kilometers of forests in 2024. That’s an area about the size of Italy.
According to the report, for the first time ever, fires were the biggest cause of forest loss. ▲ . This country has the largest area of rainforest in the world. Last year, it suffered from a long period of dry weather. Wildfires broke out and spread. As a result, about 25,000 square kilometers of the primary rainforest disappeared in the country. This meant fires caused 66% of its forest loss.
The second biggest cause of the world’s forest loss was clearing land for farming. As people need more farmland, they keep cutting down forests every year. In 2024, the area of forest cleared for farming increased by 14% worldwide. The situation was more severe in developing countries. For example, Bolivia’s forest loss doubled in 2024.
Without doubt, something must be done. Experts call on governments, businesses and people to work together before it is too late. It seems that China has set a good example. Thanks to cooperation at many levels, China had the biggest increase in forest area among all countries in 2024. That year alone, newly-planted trees in China covered an area of nearly 45,000 square kilometers, according to a news report. If more countries start to take action like China, the earth will become a greener planet.
1.The size of Italy is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show _______.
A.why we need forests. B.where a disaster spread.
C.what climate change is. D.how terrible forest loss was.
2.Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 2?
A.Farming is a reason. B.Take Brazil for example.
C.Wildfires were stopped. D.Read the report carefully.
3.What does the underlined word “severe” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Serious. B.Boring. C.Balanced. D.Positive.
4.What was the reason for the growth of China’s forest area in 2024?
A.Enough land. B.Nice weather. C.Good teamwork. D.Green technology.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Rainforest Became Larger B.Farmland Area Grew Rapidly

People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ▲ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls.
The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves.
Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens.
The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier.

中考模拟真题练习
Cucumbers (黄瓜) are not just great in salads (沙拉). Some people put them in sandwiches, some like turning them into juice, and others even put them on their faces for skincare (护肤). With all these great uses, it’s hard to believe cucumbers aren’t for everyone—you might have heard cats are afraid of them. Why is that?
We decided to look into it and watched some videos online. In these videos, many cats seem truly afraid of cucumbers. The videos usually show a person putting a cucumber behind cats while they are busy eating or playing. When the cats turn around and see the cucumber, their reaction can be hilarious! Some cats jump high in the air and run away like their tails are on fire. Others look at the cucumber with wide eyes as if it might jump at them. While a few cats don’t show fear (恐惧), most seem pretty cautious (谨慎的). So what’s happening here?
One thought is that cats might mistake cucumbers for snakes. To a cat, a cucumber can be a big surprise. If they see something long and green, they might think it’s dangerous. Another idea is that cats are afraid of the unknown. When something suddenly appears behind them, they might react the same way—whether it’s a cucumber, a shopping bag, or even a toy spider (蜘蛛)!
While it might sound funny to surprise cats with cucumbers, experts say this isn’t a good idea. It’s not nice to make animals feel afraid. So the next time you see a cucumber, remember that it’s best to keep it for salads and sandwiches—not as a way to surprise your pets. Just like people, your animal friends have their fears!

Libraries around the world hold millions of old books. These books are important parts of our history and culture. However, many of them are in poor condition. Some pages become weak, and the words on them may become difficult to read. Some words are even missing. Luckily, Artificial Intelligence (AI) (人工智能) is now helping to save these old books.
How does AI do this? First, workers take clear digital pictures of the old pages. Then, the AI system studies these pictures carefully. It looks at the words around the empty spaces and guesses what the missing words might be. This helps to complete the book digitally without touching the original one, which could be easily damaged.
Once a book is digitally repaired, it can be transformed into an e-book or added to an online database. ▲ . For example, a student living in a small village can now read a special old book online. Before, he might have had to travel to a big city library to see it.
AI can also help organize these digital books. It can sort them by their topics, time, or writers. This makes it much easier for students and teachers to find the information they need quickly.
Using AI to save old books is a new and good way to protect our history. It serves as a powerful bridge connecting the past with the future, ensuring that the wisdom and stories contained in these old books will not be forgotten and will continue to teach people in the future.

When the 15th National Games started in Guangzhou, its official mascots (吉祥物), “Xiyangyang” and “Lerongrong”, soon became stars on the Internet. They even got the nickname “Dawan Chickens”. This lovely name made the mascots loved by people all over the country.
The mascots are designed from Chinese white dolphins. These are rare animals that live in the Pearl River Estuary (珠江口) near the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. There are three-colored waves on their heads. The colors stand for Guangdong’s kapok (木棉花) red, Hong Kong’s bauhinia (紫荆花) purple and Macao’s lotus (莲花) green. This shows the unity of the three places. But their round bodies and lively poses made people think of Guangdong’s famous chicken dishes. Since chicken is very important in Cantonese food, this funny nickname came into being. Liu Pingyun, the head of the design team, was happy with this public understanding. He hoped to let more people know the mascots’ meaning.
The mascots are also popular because of their energetic shows. Students from local martial arts (武术) schools dress up as them. They practiced for months to put on flexible acts, like spinning and dancing. Their lively interactions made them loved by people online. Outside the sports fields, products with their images are very popular. Many of these products were sold out quickly.
Besides being cute, the “Dawan Chickens” have deep cultural meanings. They stand for the Greater Bay Area’s marine (海洋的) culture and the sports spirit of athletes. The combination (联合) of the official design ideas and the public’s creativity makes the Games more fun. It also shows our cultural confidence.

In the world of artificial intelligence (AI), an unexpected success story is in the news. DeepSeek, a Chinese AI company that was set up in 2023, has done something amazing. Although it had fewer tools and equipment than big companies, it has created an AI system that works as well as (and sometimes even better than) those made by the world’s largest tech companies.
Its latest AI model, shown to the public in December 2024, shows a new way of thinking about technology. ▲ By using less to do more, it showed what a small company could achieve. While big tech companies depend on powerful computers, DeepSeek found a unique (独特的) path forward. It’s like solving a picture puzzle (拼图): Instead of trying every piece one by one, it discovered clever shortcuts to match the right pieces quickly.
What it has achieved is amazing. DeepSeek used only 2,048 computer chips (芯片) to build its system, while other companies usually need more than 16,000. Its AI can deal with information very fast. It is able to manage 60 pieces of information in just one second. This triumph comes from smart design, not just good programming.
What makes its achievement special is that it faced many challenges. While large companies can easily buy the newest technology, DeepSeek only had a small number of computer parts. However, it turned this problem into a chance to create better methods and better ways of working.
The success of DeepSeek teaches us something important: Having the biggest and most expensive tools isn’t always necessary to achieve great things. Its story proves that creative thinking and smart solutions can help overcome difficult challenges in technology.

English lessons at a Shanghai middle school have transformed into learning adventures. Instead of traditional textbooks and blackboards, students use virtual (虚拟的) reality (VR) technology and have interactive conversations with an AI character to explore language and culture.
In one lesson, learners meet “Hannah”, a virtual French teenager worried about a New Year’s Eve dinner in China—she doesn’t know local traditions or basic rules. Their main task is to talk to her in English: offer useful advice, share cultural tips, and help her deal with “culture shock”. As they interact, students naturally practice conversational sentences while learning about Chinese customs.
The high-tech experience doesn’t stop here. The classroom has VR headsets that take students to vivid, simulated (仿真的) environments. When they put on the devices, they feel like stepping into a busy international food festival, surrounded by food stalls. They can observe foods closely, listen to native speakers’ introductions, and “interact” with virtual sellers which makes vocabulary memorization far easier than repetition.
“This isn’t just about memorizing textbook words,” said an English teacher. “It’s about using language in real-life situations. Students are more interested because they’re truly helping someone and exploring the world firsthand, not just taking in information inactively.”
This creative use of technology shows how AI and VR can create powerful and fun learning experiences. It helps students practice English conversation naturally, build cultural understanding, and makes the classroom a gateway to the wider world.
1.What is the main task of students in the English lesson with “Hannah”?
A.To help Hannah by talking in English.
B.To teach Hannah to make French food.
C.To tell Hannah about Chinese New Year.

Science shows that following a healthy diet rich in plant foods is a key to long-term health. This way of eating can lower your chance of getting serious illnesses like heart disease and cancer (癌症).
While many foods in this diet are healthy, some are called “Super foods” because they have lots of important nutrients (营养素). Experts suggest trying to include some of these foods in your meals every day.
Here is a simple guide to these powerful foods:
Fatty fish are a great source of protein (蛋白质) and special healthy fats. These fats are very important for keeping your heart healthy and can help blood flow better.
Eating nuts regularly or using olive oil in cooking—both of which contain healthy fats—can lower your risk of heart problems and support good blood pressure. This is an easy way to prevent serious diseases.
Yogurt is necessary for daily meals, as it contains “good bacteria (细菌)” that help your body digest (消化) food better and can help you absorb nutrients, reducing stomach problems.
Beans and peas are a great plant-based source of protein and fiber (纤维). Studies show they can help fight heart disease and also keep blood sugar levels steady, which is good for your energy.
Eating different kinds of these super foods can help you build a strong base for your overall health and well-being.
1.What health benefits do fatty fish and beans both have?
A.They have the most protein. B.They are good for heart health.

These days, drones (无人机), also called UAVs, aren’t just cool high-tech tools for taking pictures. In the countryside, they’re becoming more and more important. They’re bringing new ways to help do difficult work and make big changes in farming and other country jobs.
One big use of them is in farming. Farmers can use drones to look over their fields. These drones have special cameras. They can fly up high and take pictures of the crops. Then, by looking at these pictures, farmers can tell if their crops have enough water, sunlight, or food. Instead of walking around the whole big field to check, they can use a drone to look at everything fast. In the past, older farmers used to carry oranges on their backs. It was hard work. Few young people are willing to do it. But now a farmer can use a drone to carry heavy things. It flies 200 meters in just 1 minute, while a man needs 30 minutes.
▲ . They can watch how the animals move and check whether they’re healthy or not. In big pastures (牧场), it’s really hard for farmers to watch all the animals all the time. Drones can easily get to faraway and hard-to-reach places. This helps look after farm animals well, so people’s lives and work can go on smoothly.
However, using drones in the countryside isn’t always easy. For example, there are strict regulations on drone flights in many places. Farmers have to make sure they fly their drones in the right way. Also, buying a good drone and all the things that go with it can be expensive for some farmers. But as technology gets better and the market gets more nature, these problems will probably be solved little by little.
1.How can farmers tell if their crops have problems according to paragraph 2?
A.By walking around the field to check.
B.By listening to the sound of the crops.
C.By looking at the pictures taken by drones.
D.By asking experts for advice.

Planting trees can be good for the planet! Trees help by taking in carbon dioxide, which makes the planet warmer, to make their food. So, planting trees seems like a good idea to help cool the earth, right? Well, not quite. Where you choose to plant trees matters a lot.
Scientists have learned that not all places are good for planting trees. They made a special map to show the best places to plant trees. In these places, trees can really help cool the planet.
As far as we know, trees are usually dark and absorb heat from the sun. Light colors, like white, do the opposite, though. They reflect sunlight. Snow and ice are very good at reflecting sunlight, which helps keep the planet cool. So what will happen if we plant dark trees in icy places? These places will take in more heat instead of reflecting it. So, these are not the best places to plant trees.
At the same time, scientists found that trees can be very helpful in certain places. For example, in warm and wet areas like the Amazon and Congo Basin, trees can take in a lot of carbon dioxide without changing how much sunlight is reflected. These are great places to plant trees!
Scientists say that planting trees is still a good idea. But with this research, people can make better choices about where to plant trees to help cool the earth better.
1.How did scientists help with tree planting?
A.They created equipment to help reflect sunlight.
B.They invented a machine to help plant trees faster.

Technology has done wonders for our world, from development in medicine, travel to our day-to-day lives. It has greatly changed how society works and how we connect with each other. However, as we fully welcome technology, a question comes up: Are we losing our ability to be creative? ①
On one hand, technology supports creativity. Tools like design software, social media, and online platforms enable people to turn ideas into reality. For example, businesses use creative ads to share new products, while artists use digital tools to express themselves. ② Technology encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving.
However, there are downsides. Many people depend too heavily on computers for tasks like calculations, reducing their need to think for themselves. Others spend hours staring at screens, leaving little time for creative activities. ③
So, how can we balance technology and creativity? Here are some simple steps:
First, reduce screen time. Turn off unnecessary notifications (通知) or use “Do Not Disturb” mode (勿扰模式) to focus on real-world tasks.
Second, spend time outdoors. A daily walk in nature clears your mind and inspires fresh ideas.
Third, try screen-free hobbies. Reading, travelling, or drawing lets you explore ideas without technology.
The future of creativity depends on our choices. Will you put your phone down during meals? Will you try to find joy beyond screens? ④ Small actions today can improve the relationship between technology and creativity.

France plans to ban (禁止) social media use for students under 15 years old from September 2026. The goal is to protect teenagers’ physical and mental health. An early and unfinished law will be sent to the law-making group in January 2026 for further discussion. Besides the social media ban, it also wants to widen the mobile phone ban from primary to secondary schools in order to create a more focused learning environment for younger students.
President Emmanuel Macron said social media brings big risks to young people’s growth. Studies have shown too much use can cause cyberbullying (网络霸凌), sleep problems, anxiety and poor school work. Young people’s self-control is not yet strong at this age, so they are easily influenced by bad content like violent (暴力的) videos and harmful messages.
The law has two key rules. First, social media apps must stop teenagers from making or using accounts (账号). The French government will surely enforce this rule. Second, mobile phones -will be banned in middle schools to help students focus on daily study and classroom interactions. The government also hopes the law will be ready by September 2026 when the new school year starts across the country.
A survey shows 73% of French people support the ban. They care a lot about teenagers’ online safety and believe the ban is necessary to protect young people from online harms. Australia has already banned social media for students under 16 years old since December 2025, which is the first country to take such a step.
1.Why does France want to ban social media use for teenagers?

Climate (气候) change has caused serious health problems around the world. More and more people have paid attention to the problems caused by climate change.
Terrible events such as high temperatures, floods (洪水), and wildfires usually happen around the world. For example, there was heavy rain in Liaoning in 2024 and long hot days in the south that year. These events destroyed houses as well as farmland and made people move. In 2025, floods caused more than 400 deaths in China. Over 1.7 million Chinese need to move to safe places and are in need of help because of floods.
Another big problem is air pollution. It’s getting worse because of wildfires and the use of oil and coal. What’s more, climate change makes Beijing’s pollen (花粉) seasons longer and worse. The spring pollen season in Beijing in 2024 probably started on 15th March. Its 2025 spring pollen season came 4 to 7 days earlier than in 2024. When storms come, they break pollen into very small pieces. These small pieces easily get into people’s noses and throats. ________ All these changes are especially bad for children and old people.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has worked with countries. They want to build a healthy system that is good for the environment. This includes training doctors, providing good medical machines and making low-carbon (低碳的) projects. For example, some countries are using green energy like solar power to supply electricity to hospitals so as to cut pollution.
Now, countries around the world are making efforts for this. By joining efforts in energy, environmental protection and public health, the world can be better.

Many of us have seen rainbows in the sky once the sun starts shining again after a rain. For us to see a rainbow, the conditions need to be just right. We need some water drops in the air, like rain or even fog, and we need the Sun to be behind us and quite low to the ground. This is because a rainbow is created by light passing through water drops.
The light that comes from the sun seems white to us. But the white light we see is made up of a mix of different colors. When the light goes through a raindrop, these colors can separate out.
Each of the colors in the rainbow has a different “wavelength” (波长). Raindrops look like little balls. When light hits one of these little balls of water, the light can change direction. We call this “refraction” (折射). Each of the different wavelengths is refracted differently. If the light hits the raindrop at the right angle, the refraction separates the wavelengths out into their different colors.
We are taught there are seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. But this isn’t exactly true. Blue and green are next to each other in the rainbow, which is why we can see turquoise (a mix of blue and green). Brown is a mix of red and green. But they aren’t next to each other in the rainbow, so we don’t see them mix to make brown.
We would never see black and white in a rainbow. Black is what we see when there’s no light at all. On the other hand, white is a mix of all the colors together. When light is refracted by raindrops, it separates the white light out, meaning it is no longer white.
