It all started in 2022 when she ___4___ her first homeless cat, thinking it was a one-time act of kindness, but it wasn’t. “Once you save one life, you can’t stop saving the next,” Xuanxuan said. As more animals came, so did problems. Neighbors’ complaints forced her to move repeatedly.

You collect leftovers from weddings to feed 126 stray animals, which is so warm and responsible. I admire your persistence and kindness. Even though you face troubles like neighbours’ complaints, you never give up saving lives. Your actions tell me that small kindness can make a big difference. I will learn from you and try to help small animals around me. I hope all the stray pets can have a safe and warm home like yours. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 本文主要介绍了中国最新的南极科考站——秦岭站如何利用绿色能源(风力发电、太阳能、海水净化技术)，在南极极端的环境下解决电力供应和清洁用水的问题，同时提及了该站的建设进展、面临的挑战和未来的科研价值。 单词 意思 单词 意思 extremely adv. 极度地；极其地 chief adj.主要的，首要的；n.首领 prove v. 证明，验证 locate on 位于；出于 ①What if you had to live in a place where the wind never stops and it is extremely cold? How can scientists get power and clean water to work in such a cold, lonely place? China’s newest Antarctic research station (南极科考站) has found the answers with green energy. ②China’s Qinling Station, the newest of the country’s five research stations in Antarctica, celebrated its first anniversary on Feb 7. Located on Inexpressible Island in the Ross Sea, the station has faced Antarctica’s bad weather while making progress in green energy, including power systems and water supply. ③Since opening on Feb 7 last year, the station has now been developing its systems. Key systems like wind turbines (风力发电机) , power systems and seawater stations have been set up. “We’ve set up 10 wind turbines so far and are now setting up solar energy systems,” Wang Zhechao, head of the 41st Antarctic expedition team and the Qinling Station, told China Media Group (CMG). The power systems can provide 30 kilowatts of power for 14 days during polar nights, marking China’s first use of clean energy in Antarctica. ④Another key development at Qinling Station is its water supply. Without natural freshwater sources, the station had to use cleaned seawater for daily use and research.“Things for getting water and their power systems are already in place, and the cleaning project is about 80 percent complete,” said Shao Tianbao, lead engineer of the project. ⑤Two systems for cleaning seawater, including a backup, produce 20 tons of freshwater every 10 hours. With containers (储水容器) to store the water, the systems can provide enough water to use. “There is no need to worry about the quality of drinking water,” added Shao. ⑥The Ross Sea is known for strong winds and extreme cold. Despite these challenging conditions, the station’s wind power design has been proven to be strong. However, the real challenge lies ahead. “The upcoming challenge will be during the winter period when the station becomes fully used, leading to greater differences between indoor and outdoor environments,” explained Duan Meng, the station’s chief designer. ⑦Duan’s team is collecting data to improve the station’s performance during the long, dark winter. “Once completed, the station will serve as an important research base for scientists from China and around the world,” he said. 1. Why does the writer start the passage by asking questions? A. To introduce the head of Qinling Station. B. To show the terrible weather in Antarctica. C. To draw readers’ interest and introduce the topic. D. To explain how to get clean water in Antarctica. 2. What can we infer from the passage? A. The power system can work for 30 days during polar nights. B. The station has set up 10 wind turbines and solar energy systems. C. The scientists can use natural freshwater sources for daily use and research. D. The station may let scientists across the world work together in Antarctica. 3. What is the best title for the passage? A. Polar Stations: China’s 40-Year Research Plans B. Antarctic Weather: A Terrible Natural Environment C. Green Energy: China’s Qinling Station in Antarctica D. Fresh Water: Important Daily Supplies for Scientists 4. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】1—4 CDCD 【解析】1.第一段中提出问题：“What if … the wind never stops and it is extremely cold? How can … in such a cold lonely place?”是为了吸引读者的注意，同时第一段中提到“China’s newest Antarctic research station has found the answers with green energy”可判断，提出问题也是为了引出本文的主题。 2.文中最后一段提到：“Once completed, the station will serve as an important research base for scientists from China and around the world”，推知秦岭站将会供世界各国科学家使用。 3.根据第一段：“China’s newest Antarctic research station has found the answers with green energy”和全文，可知文章主要介绍中国南极秦岭站如何利用绿色能源。 4.分析文章段落内容可知，①引出话题，②总述秦岭站的基本情况，③分述介绍电力，④⑤分述介绍供水，⑥描述当前挑战，⑦介绍未来前景。 同学们，有没有发现一个神奇的现象？不管是英语里的“mama”、法语里的“maman”，还是中文里的“妈妈”，发音都惊人地相似！甚至刚出生几天的宝宝，也会本能地发出类似“mama”的声音。 这难道只是巧合吗？让我们从语言学和生物学的角度，来解锁这个跨越语言、跨越文化的“世界通用词”背后的秘密。 单词 意思 单词 意思 coincidence n. 巧合（的事） briefly adv. 简短地；短暂地 tongue n. 舌；舌头 repetitive adj. 重复的 open-mouthed sounds 开口音 present from birth 与生俱来 Have you ever noticed that even in families that speak different languages, babies still say the word “mama”, or something similar? This isn’t a coincidence, and a number of researchers have tried to understand why — although Russian-American linguist (语言学家) Roman Jakobson is believed to have been the first. In his paper Why “Mama”and“Papa”?, Jakobson explained, “The easiest sounds for humans to make are open-mouthed ones. And the very easiest is ‘ah’, which can be made without using your tongue or lips at all. Then, if you close your lips briefly and open them again, your mouth will make an ‘m’ sound.” So, what sound would you get if you opened and closed your mouth twice? That’s right—“mama”. Babies also make that “m”sound while feeding, suggesting that they start using the word “mama” to show that they’re hungry, according to Jakobson. It’s possible that different cultures created words in their languages to refer to mothers and fathers based on these sounds, like“ema”in Estonian (爱沙尼亚语) and“maman”in French. A team of researchers from Canada, France and Spain found that brain activity in babies no more than 3 days old increased when they heard words with repetitive sounds—which would include words like “mama”, “papa”and“dada”. This suggests that the ability to recognize repetitive sounds is present from birth. The lead researcher, Judit Gervain, said, “It’s probably no coincidence that many languages around the world have repetitive sounds in their child words.” The widespread use of “mama” across languages is not accidental. Linguist Roman Jakobson said that 1 , and that the “m” sound comes from simple lip movements. For example, 2 “ema”and “maman” in their words for mothers. Another research found that 3 when they heard repetitive sounds, showing a natural ability to recognize such patterns. This supports the idea that repetitive sounds in baby talk are a 4 . 【答案】1. the easiest sounds are open-mouthed 2. many languages have similar sounds 3. babies’ brain activity increased 4. common thing around the world 【解析】1. the easiest sounds are open-mouthed 原文依据：“The easiest sounds for humans to make are open-mouthed ones… your mouth will make an ‘m’ sound. That’s right — ‘mama’.”解析：Jakobson 指出“mama”由人类最容易发出的开口音和简单唇音组成，发音门槛极低，用 the easiest sounds are open-mouthed精准概括。 2. many languages have similar sounds 原文依据：“like ‘ema’ in Estonian and ‘maman’ in French”解析：不同语言中存在与“mama”发音相近的母亲称谓，用many languages have similar sounds 概括这一现象，避免直接引用具体语种，符合字数要求。 3. babies’ brain activity increased 原文依据：“brain activity in babies no more than 3 days old increased when they heard words with repetitive sounds”解析：研究发现新生儿听到重复音时大脑活动增强，用babies’ brain activity increased替换原文表述，简洁且保留核心信息，未连续抄3词。 4. common thing around the world 原文依据：“It’s probably no coincidence that many languages around the world have repetitive sounds in their child words.”解析：重复音在全球幼儿用语中普遍存在，是跨语言的共同特征，用common thing around the world高度概括，符合题意。 同学们，你有没有过这样的经历：在国外做了一个“很正常”的手势，却发现当地人一脸困惑？在尼加拉瓜，用嘴唇指方向才是礼貌；在丹麦，墓地是人们野餐社交的好去处；在希腊，婚礼上要喊“ftou ftou ftou”来祈福…… 这些在我们看来有点“奇怪”的习俗，恰恰是世界文化多样性的魅力所在。今天，我们就一起去解锁三个国家的独特风俗，看看不同文化里藏着的趣味与智慧。 单词 意思 单词 意思 hang out 闲逛 company n. 陪伴；做伴；同伴 ward off 避开；防止 indicate v. 表示；示意；暗示 spit v. 吐唾沫 lip n. 嘴唇 Three customs from around the world Our world is a colourful collection of unique habits and customs. What seems normal in one place can be very strange in another. Let’s look at three interesting examples from different cultures. In Nicaragua, it is common to point with the lips instead of the thumb or index finger. Wondering exactly how a person points with their lips? It all starts with puckering up (撅起). They direct their lips forward or to the side to indicate what they want to draw attention to. People do this because pointing with fingers is often seen as rude. Using lips is a more polite way to show something. In many countries, cemeteries (墓地) are often seen as scary places. But in Denmark, this is not really true. People in Denmark turn cemeteries into friendly social places, which is a rather practical way to use space. Cemeteries in Denmark are always kept very clean and beautiful. When it gets warmer, many local people gather there to enjoy themselves. Plus, you’ll be hanging out in great company as many famous Danes are buried here, including Hans Christian Andersen. In Greece, there is a special symbolic wedding tradition — people make a spitting sound near the bride to ward off bad luck. This practice was popularized thanks to the 2002 film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In Greek culture, the act of spitting is seen as a way to bring good luck and keep bad luck away. But don’t worry — today people never actually spit. Instead, they just say “ftou, ftou, ftou” loudly, as a symbol of good wishes. People also do this on other special occasions. If you hear someone speaking of misfortune and misery, say “ftou, ftou, ftou” to keep the same misfortune and misery away from you and your loved ones. 1. People in Nicaragua always point with their lips because ______. A. it is faster than using fingers B. it is a rule set by the government C. their hands are often busy with work D. they think it’s a more polite way to point 2. How do people in Denmark view and use their cemeteries? A. As spaces for social activities. B. As museums for traditional art. C. As places for large public festivals. D. As chances to learn about famous figures. 3. Why do Greeks say “ftou, ftou, ftou”? A. To make fun of others. B. To popularize the 2002 film. C. To greet others at a wedding party. D. To wish themselves or others good luck. 4. What do the three customs have in common? A. They all seem strange to outsiders. B. They are all from African countries. C. They are all about using body language. D. They all take place during important events. 5. Where would you most likely find this article? A. In a news report. B. In a culture blog. C. In a science magazine. D. In a study on children’s education. 【答案】1-5 DADAB 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主题是人与社会之公序良俗。本文主要介绍了来自尼加拉瓜、丹麦和希腊的三个独特文化习俗，展现了世界各地习俗的多样性。 1.

This campus version is an abridged (删节的) performance of the nine-hour youth version. It originated from a project launched in 2024 to encourage young people to participate in preserving Kunqu. The project chose 50 students from 29 universities and colleges. The students, with little professional training in Kunqu, practised for nearly nine months before bringing the campus version of the stage in Suzhou, the birthplace of Kunqu, in April 2025. Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of traditional Chinese opera. In 2001, it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage. As one of its most famous works, The Peony Pavilion was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu. It tells the story of Du Liniang, a young woman from a wealthy family. She dies for love after dreaming of a romantic encounter with the scholar (书生) Liu Mengmei, only to be later revived when he finds her. Young people have always been the main audience for the youth version of The Peony Pavilion. Since its first show, it has been performed at more than a dozen universities. “Our goal is to help college students appreciate the beauty of Kunqu, so they can feel closer to traditional Chinese culture,” 88-year-old Pai Hsien-yung, who has served as the art director in this project, said in a message written ahead of the Taipei performance of the campus version. “For more than 20 years, the love for Kunqu among the people of Taiwan has remained unchanged,” Pai said in an interview. “I was pleasantly surprised to see that many high school students also enjoyed the performance very much.” 1.

D. 同学们，有没有发现一个神奇的现象？不管是英语里的“mama”、法语里的“maman”，还是中文里的“妈妈”，发音都惊人地相似！甚至刚出生几天的宝宝，也会本能地发出类似“mama”的声音。 这难道只是巧合吗？让我们从语言学和生物学的角度，来解锁这个跨越语言、跨越文化的“世界通用词”背后的秘密。 单词 意思 单词 意思 coincidence n. 巧合（的事） briefly adv. 简短地；短暂地 tongue n. 舌；舌头 repetitive adj. 重复的 open-mouthed sounds 开口音 present from birth 与生俱来 Have you ever noticed that even in families that speak different languages, babies still say the word “mama”, or something similar? This isn’t a coincidence, and a number of researchers have tried to understand why — although Russian-American linguist (语言学家) Roman Jakobson is believed to have been the first. In his paper Why “Mama”and“Papa”?, Jakobson explained, “The easiest sounds for humans to make are open-mouthed ones. And the very easiest is ‘ah’, which can be made without using your tongue or lips at all. Then, if you close your lips briefly and open them again, your mouth will make an ‘m’ sound.” So, what sound would you get if you opened and closed your mouth twice? That’s right—“mama”. Babies also make that “m”sound while feeding, suggesting that they start using the word “mama” to show that they’re hungry, according to Jakobson. It’s possible that different cultures created words in their languages to refer to mothers and fathers based on these sounds, like“ema”in Estonian (爱沙尼亚语) and“maman”in French. A team of researchers from Canada, France and Spain found that brain activity in babies no more than 3 days old increased when they heard words with repetitive sounds—which would include words like “mama”, “papa”and“dada”. This suggests that the ability to recognize repetitive sounds is present from birth. The lead researcher, Judit Gervain, said, “It’s probably no coincidence that many languages around the world have repetitive sounds in their child words.” The widespread use of “mama” across languages is not accidental. Linguist Roman Jakobson said that 1 , and that the “m” sound comes from simple lip movements. For example, 2 “ema”and “maman” in their words for mothers. Another research found that 3 when they heard repetitive sounds, showing a natural ability to recognize such patterns. This supports the idea that repetitive sounds in baby talk are a 4 . 同学们，你有没有过这样的经历：在国外做了一个“很正常”的手势，却发现当地人一脸困惑？在尼加拉瓜，用嘴唇指方向才是礼貌；在丹麦，墓地是人们野餐社交的好去处；在希腊，婚礼上要喊“ftou ftou ftou”来祈福…… 这些在我们看来有点“奇怪”的习俗，恰恰是世界文化多样性的魅力所在。今天，我们就一起去解锁三个国家的独特风俗，看看不同文化里藏着的趣味与智慧。 单词 意思 单词 意思 hang out 闲逛 company n. 陪伴；做伴；同伴 ward off 避开；防止 indicate v. 表示；示意；暗示 spit v. 吐唾沫 lip n. 嘴唇 Three customs from around the world Our world is a colourful collection of unique habits and customs. What seems normal in one place can be very strange in another. Let’s look at three interesting examples from different cultures. In Nicaragua, it is common to point with the lips instead of the thumb or index finger. Wondering exactly how a person points with their lips? It all starts with puckering up (撅起). They direct their lips forward or to the side to indicate what they want to draw attention to. People do this because pointing with fingers is often seen as rude. Using lips is a more polite way to show something. In many countries, cemeteries (墓地) are often seen as scary places. But in Denmark, this is not really true. People in Denmark turn cemeteries into friendly social places, which is a rather practical way to use space. Cemeteries in Denmark are always kept very clean and beautiful. When it gets warmer, many local people gather there to enjoy themselves. Plus, you’ll be hanging out in great company as many famous Danes are buried here, including Hans Christian Andersen. In Greece, there is a special symbolic wedding tradition — people make a spitting sound near the bride to ward off bad luck. This practice was popularized thanks to the 2002 film, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. In Greek culture, the act of spitting is seen as a way to bring good luck and keep bad luck away. But don’t worry — today people never actually spit. Instead, they just say “ftou, ftou, ftou” loudly, as a symbol of good wishes. People also do this on other special occasions. If you hear someone speaking of misfortune and misery, say “ftou, ftou, ftou” to keep the same misfortune and misery away from you and your loved ones. 1.

This campus version is an abridged (删节的) performance of the nine-hour youth version. It originated from a project launched in 2024 to encourage young people to participate in preserving Kunqu. The project chose 50 students from 29 universities and colleges. The students, with little professional training in Kunqu, practised for nearly nine months before bringing the campus version of the stage in Suzhou, the birthplace of Kunqu, in April 2025. Kunqu Opera is one of the oldest and most beautiful forms of traditional Chinese opera. In 2001, it was added to UNESCO’s list of World Intangible Cultural Heritage. As one of its most famous works, The Peony Pavilion was written in 1598 by Tang Xianzu. It tells the story of Du Liniang, a young woman from a wealthy family. She dies for love after dreaming of a romantic encounter with the scholar (书生) Liu Mengmei, only to be later revived when he finds her. Young people have always been the main audience for the youth version of The Peony Pavilion. Since its first show, it has been performed at more than a dozen universities. “Our goal is to help college students appreciate the beauty of Kunqu, so they can feel closer to traditional Chinese culture,” 88-year-old Pai Hsien-yung, who has served as the art director in this project, said in a message written ahead of the Taipei performance of the campus version. “For more than 20 years, the love for Kunqu among the people of Taiwan has remained unchanged,” Pai said in an interview. “I was pleasantly surprised to see that many high school students also enjoyed the performance very much.” 1.
