An incense (香) stick The most common way to measure (测量) time in ancient China was by burning incense sticks, called “一炷香” in Chinese. It worked day and night and was easy to carry and simple to make. An incense stick usually took about half an hour to burn. A cup of tea “一盏茶” was about 15 minutes long. The teacup came with a lid (盖子) and a small plate. The time it took for a cup of tea to be served and cooled down changed with the weather. In summer, cooling the tea took about 15 minutes, while in winter, it was faster — sometimes just 10 minutes. A pot of wine Finishing a pot of wine took about one shichen, which equated (等同于) two hours in modern times. A meal A meal was about half a shichen long. But in modern times, people usually spend around half an hour for a meal. 26. What’s the most common way to measure time in ancient China? A. An incense stick. B. A cup of tea. C. A pot of wine. D. A meal. 27. “A pot of wine” was about ________. A. 10-15 minutes B. half an hour C. 2 hours D. 2 shichen 28. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Why ancient Chinese invented clocks with daily objects. B. How ancient Chinese measured time with four daily things. C. Why ancient Chinese used four daily simple things to tell time. D. How ancient Chinese used different things to spend their free time. B Although I did not speak or understand English, I was still excited about going to school for the first time. On my first day of school, my teacher, Miss Scalapino seated me closest to the window. Right next to my desk was a caterpillar (毛虫) in a large glass bottle. It moved very slowly without making any sound. Just in front of the caterpillar was a picture book of caterpillars and butterflies. I went through it, page by page, studying all the pictures. When the bell rang, all the kids walked in quietly. Some of them looked at me. Embarrassed and nervous, I looked at the caterpillar in the bottle. I did this every time someone looked at me. In class, I did not understand a word Miss Scalapino was saying. The more she spoke, the uneasier I felt. For days I got headaches from trying to listen. Luckily, the caterpillar brought me some comfort. During breaks, I often stayed with it and fed it with leaves from trees on the playground. My favourite time in school was when we did art. I drew butterflies in pencil and then colored them using every color in my crayon box. Miss Scalapino even put one of my drawings up on the board for everyone to see. After a few weeks, it was gone and I did not know how to ask where it was. One day after classes I looked for the caterpillar but could not see it. I put my hand in the bottle and lightly moved the leaves. To my surprise, the caterpillar had turned into a cocoon (茧). On Wednesday, May 23, just a few days before the end of the school year, Miss Scalapino surprised me. She handed me the missing drawing of the butterfly and a silk blue ribbon with words “ 1st PLACE” in gold on it . I won the first prize for my drawing! I was so proud that I felt like bursting out of my skin. That afternoon, I checked on the caterpillar. I was amazed to find a butterfly moving from its cocoon slowly. I opened the bottle. Magically, the butterfly came out, fluttering (振翅) in the air, ready for a completely new life. 29. How did the writer feel in Miss Scalapino’s first class? A. Cheerful. B. Proud. C. Uncomfortable. D. Surprised. 30. How did Miss Scalapino surprise the writer? A. She took away his favourite drawing. B. She put his drawing up on the board. C. She gave him the caterpillar in a bottle. D. She handed him his drawing and a ribbon. 31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer went through the pages of the book to study all the words. B. The writer won the first prize for his drawing of the butterfly. C. The writer always stayed with his teacher during breaks. D. The writer spoke English very well on the first day of school. 32. The butterfly fluttering in the air could probably make the writer feel that _______ . A. they would both stay unnoticed by others B. he could have a new start in his life as well C. he should use more colors to draw butterflies D. they could spend a lot more time together later C “I am not out of place. I am where I am at home.” says a German doctor Joel Mikael Walker, after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a patient in Zhengzhou, China. Some locals are amazed by receiving traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from a foreigner, but Walker is sure about what he is doing. He is among a growing number of foreigners taking part in TCM, mixing their Western backgrounds with ancient Chinese healing arts (中医诊疗). Walker, from Germany, came to China in 2015 and fell in love with Chinese kung fu. While learning Shaolin kung fu in Henan, he became curious about Chinese culture and medicine. After a year of Chinese study, he signed up in Henan University of Chinese Medicine. Since he learned acupuncture, he has treated over a thousand patients. “He is skilled in acupuncture,” says his teacher, Professor Yu Dongdong, “He can work on his own.” Under his Chinese name “Wuming”, Walker has become an online hit on the video-sharing platform Douyin, gathering over one million followers. As a famous person on the Internet, he shares local culture in smooth Henan dialect (方言). “You have a more real-to-life grasp of Henan dialect than I do,” comments one follower. Many people like him because he joins in local culture. He also treated his grandmother’s health problems with acupuncture, improving her condition greatly. With more and more fans, Walker feels a sense of responsibility (责任). “Posting videos was just for fun before, but now I want to take part in more meaningful projects,” he says. He plans to create videos promoting TCM and sharing stories of ancient Chinese medical experts. “I really want more people to know about TCM and its far-reaching cultural value,” he adds. Whether in China or Germany, he plans to keep working on TCM. “I will do anything to help people through TCM.” 33. What can we learn from Walker’s words in Para. 1? A. He is curious about doing acupuncture. B. He is proud of his foreign background. C. He is unwilling to treat the locals with TCM. D. He is comfortable with the present situation. 34. Why did Walker decide to study TCM? A. His teacher advised him to learn it. B. He decided to introduce TCM to Germany. C. He wanted to become famous on the Internet. D. He got the idea while learning Chinese kung fu. 35. What does Para. 3 mainly talk about? A. How Walker learned the Henan dialect. B. Why Walker has many online followers. C. How Walker helps his family with TCM. D. Why Walker finds it hard to make videos. 36. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text? A. To show the importance of TCM in education. B. To introduce a special person working on TCM. C. To explain how TCM can help people in China. D. To encourage the use of dialects in promoting TCM. D Scientists have long known dolphins are among the smartest ocean animals. However, a recent study in the Gulf of Mexico shows their communication might be as hard as human language. Scientists found that wild dolphin families create special “signature whistles (标志性口哨)” to call each other, much like how people use names. To test this, the team played underwater recordings of different dolphin whistles. When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam toward the speaker. ________ This proved these sounds act like personal IDs. The study also found dolphins mix whistles in creative ways to share messages, such as warning about danger or pointing out food locations. Interestingly, baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk. This suggests adult dolphins actively teach their young, an unusual behavior in the animal world. Scientists say this finding helps us understand how intelligence (智力) develops in different species. Sea biologists believe studying dolphin language could support conservation (保护) efforts. For example, knowing how dolphins communicate about dangers might help protect them from ocean pollution or ship noises. Already, some teams are using AI tools to decode dolphin sounds in real time. These AI tools can explain the meaning of the sounds. In this way, humans could better watch dolphin health and create safer sea environments. This study not only deepens our love for dolphins’ intelligence but also reminds us to protect these amazing animals and their underwater home. 37. What did dolphins do when hearing their family’s whistle? A. They swam away quickly. B. They repeated the same sound. C. They moved toward the sound. D. They warned others of danger. 38. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Para. 2? A. However, it copied unknown sounds like “Hello”. B. However it ate fish happily when hearing strange calls. C. However, it swam faster when boats made loud engine sounds. D. However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups. 39. What does the underlined word “decode” in Par. 4 most probably mean? A. Design. B. Translate. C. Predict. D. Hear. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving Dolphins in the Ocean. B. Baby Dolphins’ Learning Journey. C. How AI Helps Marine Research. D. The Amazing Whistle Language. 第二节 China has recently introduced a national childcare subsidy system (育儿补贴系统) to support families in raising young children. ___41___ The subsidy program started on January 1, 2025. ___42___ Whether it’s the first, second, or third child, as long as (只要) the child is under 3 years old, the family is suitable for the subsidy. The national standard (标准) is 3,600 yuan per child every year. ___43___ For example, if a family has a 1-year-old child, they can receive 3,600 yuan for that year.

Let’s explore some! An incense (香) stick The most common way to measure (测量) time in ancient China was by burning incense sticks, called “一炷香” in Chinese. It worked day and night and was easy to carry and simple to make. An incense stick usually took about half an hour to burn. A cup of tea “一盏茶” was about 15 minutes long. The teacup came with a lid (盖子) and a small plate. The time it took for a cup of tea to be served and cooled down changed with the weather. In summer, cooling the tea took about 15 minutes, while in winter, it was faster — sometimes just 10 minutes. A pot of wine Finishing a pot of wine took about one shichen, which equated (等同于) two hours in modern times. A meal A meal was about half a shichen long. But in modern times, people usually spend around half an hour for a meal. 26. What’s the most common way to measure time in ancient China? A. An incense stick. B. A cup of tea. C. A pot of wine. D.

On my first day of school, my teacher, Miss Scalapino seated me closest to the window. Right next to my desk was a caterpillar (毛虫) in a large glass bottle. It moved very slowly without making any sound. Just in front of the caterpillar was a picture book of caterpillars and butterflies. I went through it, page by page, studying all the pictures. When the bell rang, all the kids walked in quietly. Some of them looked at me. Embarrassed and nervous, I looked at the caterpillar in the bottle. I did this every time someone looked at me. In class, I did not understand a word Miss Scalapino was saying. The more she spoke, the uneasier I felt. For days I got headaches from trying to listen. Luckily, the caterpillar brought me some comfort. During breaks, I often stayed with it and fed it with leaves from trees on the playground. My favourite time in school was when we did art. I drew butterflies in pencil and then colored them using every color in my crayon box. Miss Scalapino even put one of my drawings up on the board for everyone to see. After a few weeks, it was gone and I did not know how to ask where it was. One day after classes I looked for the caterpillar but could not see it. I put my hand in the bottle and lightly moved the leaves. To my surprise, the caterpillar had turned into a cocoon (茧). On Wednesday, May 23, just a few days before the end of the school year, Miss Scalapino surprised me. She handed me the missing drawing of the butterfly and a silk blue ribbon with words “ 1st PLACE” in gold on it . I won the first prize for my drawing! I was so proud that I felt like bursting out of my skin. That afternoon, I checked on the caterpillar. I was amazed to find a butterfly moving from its cocoon slowly. I opened the bottle. Magically, the butterfly came out, fluttering (振翅) in the air, ready for a completely new life. 29. How did the writer feel in Miss Scalapino’s first class? A. Cheerful. B. Proud. C. Uncomfortable. D. Surprised. 30. How did Miss Scalapino surprise the writer? A. She took away his favourite drawing. B. She put his drawing up on the board. C. She gave him the caterpillar in a bottle. D.

However, a recent study in the Gulf of Mexico shows their communication might be as hard as human language. Scientists found that wild dolphin families create special “signature whistles (标志性口哨)” to call each other, much like how people use names. To test this, the team played underwater recordings of different dolphin whistles. When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam toward the speaker. ________ This proved these sounds act like personal IDs. The study also found dolphins mix whistles in creative ways to share messages, such as warning about danger or pointing out food locations. Interestingly, baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk. This suggests adult dolphins actively teach their young, an unusual behavior in the animal world. Scientists say this finding helps us understand how intelligence (智力) develops in different species. Sea biologists believe studying dolphin language could support conservation (保护) efforts. For example, knowing how dolphins communicate about dangers might help protect them from ocean pollution or ship noises. Already, some teams are using AI tools to decode dolphin sounds in real time. These AI tools can explain the meaning of the sounds. In this way, humans could better watch dolphin health and create safer sea environments. This study not only deepens our love for dolphins’ intelligence but also reminds us to protect these amazing animals and their underwater home. 37. What did dolphins do when hearing their family’s whistle? A. They swam away quickly. B. They repeated the same sound. C. They moved toward the sound. D. They warned others of danger. 38. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Para. 2? A. However, it copied unknown sounds like “Hello”. B. However, it ate fish happily when hearing strange calls. C. However, it swam faster when boats made loud engine sounds. D. However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups. 39. What does the underlined word “decode” in Par. 4 most probably mean? A. Design. B. Translate. C. Predict. D. Hear. 40. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving Dolphins in the Ocean. B. Baby Dolphins’ Learning Journey. C. How AI Helps Marine Research. D. The Amazing Whistle Language. 【答案】37. C 38. D 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了海豚的语言。 【37题详解】 根据第二段第二句“When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam toward the speaker.”可知，当海豚听到家人的口哨声时，它们朝着声音移动。 【38题详解】 前文提到海豚听到家人的特殊声音会游向扬声器，为了证明这些声音像个人标识，就需要说明海豚对非家人的口哨声没有反应。选项D“However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups”表明海豚对来自未知群体的口哨声不予理会，这与前文海豚对家人口哨声的反应形成对比，能很好地证明这些声音像个人身份证。 【39题详解】 根据后文“These AI tools can explain the meaning of the sounds.”可知，这些人工智能工具能够解释声音的含义，由此可推测decode在这里是“翻译；解读”的意思，与B选项Translate相符。 【40题详解】 文章主要围绕海豚的标志性口哨展开，介绍了海豚用标志性口哨互相呼唤，像人类用名字一样；还介绍了海豚会创造性地混合口哨来分享信息，以及研究海豚语言对保护海豚的意义等。选项D“The Amazing Whistle Language”能准确概括文章主要内容，即神奇的口哨语言。 第二节 China has recently introduced a national childcare subsidy system (育儿补贴系统) to support families in raising young children. ___41___ The subsidy program started on January 1, 2025. ___42___ Whether it’s the first, second, or third child, as long as (只要) the child is under 3 years old, the family is suitable for the subsidy.
