But next month, I am going to travel to a remote area in Central Africa. I want to learn enough Lingala, one of the local languages, to have simple conversations with people there. 1 , I was worried because I am busy and don’t have much free time. Then I found a language-learning app called Memrise, which fits easily into my daily life. To be honest, when I get a 2 moment at home, I usually check messages, watch short videos, or scroll on my phone. Now, I use those few minutes to learn new words instead. With Memrise, learning feels light and fun, not stressful. Each session only takes five or ten minutes, so it is easy to keep going every day. Memrise is fun. It gives you new words to learn. These are “ 3 ” in your“greenhouse”. When you practise, you “water your plants” and they grow. When the app believes you have remembered a word, it moves it to your “garden”. You get points as your garden grows, so you can compare yourself with other users. I want to get a high score and move to the next level. If I forget to log on, the app sends messages or emails to 4 me to “water my plants”. The app uses two learning ideas. First, people remember things better when they link them to pictures. Memrise translates words and also encourages“mems”, which are images that help you remember. I memorised motele, the Lingala word for“engine”, by 5 an old engine in a motel room. Another idea is that we need to stop studying and repeat words later, with time between sessions. Memrise helps with this because you only use it for five or ten minutes a day. I have learnt hundreds of Lingala words. This won’t make me 6 , but I hope I will do more than just smile and look confused when I meet people in the Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary! 1．A．However B．At first C．In fact D．As a result 2．A．busy B．spare C．happy D．rare 3．A．gardeners B．tools C．seeds D．resources 4．A．order B．force C．remind D．guide 5．A．drawing B．discovering C．repairing D．imagining 6．A．fluent B．focused C．confident D．relaxed Brooke Raboutou is one of the best rock climbers in the world. By the age of 12, she had already held seven world records. One of her teachers explains that she’s so good because she has really strong fingers and the 1 body of a child, which allows her to bend her body easily and smoothly move between rocks. That helps her a lot and means she can do things 2 climbers have never dreamed of doing. Brooke comes from a climbing family. Both her parents are past climbing champions. Her father stopped climbing some years ago, but her mother, Robyn, who won four world cup titles four years in a row, is still climbing. She 3 a club for young climbers in Colorado, USA ten years ago and coaches Brooke and her teammates. 4 it’s sometimes difficult for mother and daughter to work so closely, they really respect and trust each other. Brooke says that her mother gives her good advice and is a very important part of her climbing life. Robyn can be strict, but she also shows the 5 of a professional climber. She passes the spirit of courage on to Brooke. Robyn says Brooke is very determined and good at encouraging herself. This helps her when she’s facing the challenges of this difficult sport. To be a world-class athlete of any kind, you have to push yourself and train hard and that’s what Brooke does, every day, at the club and at home. But climbing isn’t only hard work. It’s fun too. Brooke loves climbing and when she’s on a high rock, she feels happy. 6 , for Brooke, climbing is a perfect mix of challenge and joy. She says that when she looks down, she isn’t scared. All she does is to think how cool it is to be so small compared to the rock. 1．A．flexible B．strong C．beautiful D．healthy 2．A．weaker B．older C．younger D．slower 3．A．made up B．carried out C．grew up D．set up 4．A．When B．Because C．Though D．If 5．A．patience B．bravery C．carefulness D．honesty 6．A．In the end B．In other words C．In addition D．In fact Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）。 A Careful Look at the Truth Detective Lina Park was known for her calm mind and careful eyes. She worked in a small city where most cases were 1 , but she treated every case seriously. One afternoon, Lina received a(n) 2 from a bakery. A teenager named Kevin was suspected of stealing a wallet. He had been seen near the cash register, and the wallet disappeared minutes later. The shop owner was sure that Kevin had taken it. When Lina arrived, Kevin looked 3 . “I didn’t steal anything,” he said softly. Lina believed in listening before judging, so she asked him to explain. Kevin said he was only there to buy bread for his grandmother. Lina checked the security camera. The video showed Kevin near the counter, but his hands were empty when he left. Still, the wallet was missing. She began questioning other 4 . A woman remembered seeing a man in a blue jacket rushing out of the bakery. “He looked nervous,” she said. Lina followed this clue and asked nearby shops. A fruit seller had seen the same man drop a wallet before picking it up again and running away. 5 , Lina found the man waiting at a bus stop. He admitted that he had taken the wallet but panicked and ran away. Lina returned it to the owner and explained the truth. Kevin was 6 . The shop owner apologized, and Kevin left smiling with his bag of bread. Lina watched him leave, then turned back to the bakery.

People, young or old, all love gardening very much. That’s why Britain is called “a country of flowers”. It is quite 1 to see a small garden in almost every family. If you praise the owners for their beautiful gardens, they will feel very delighted all day long. Gardening has become an important way of life in Britain. Newspapers, magazines and TV offer many special programmes. They often share useful 2 and nice designs with interested gardeners, or invite famous gardeners to answer their questions. Besides, there are competitions of different 3 across the country, from small community ones to big world events. They attract millions of gardeners. To help children develop interest in gardening, there are special competitions for kids, too. The British like to 4 gardening stories with their traditional culture. Gardening has long been a part of British traditional stories and books. A well-kept garden is a symbol of order, beauty and peace. Those are important ideas for British people. The stories often describe gardens as quiet and special places full of tradition. They also show a cultural belief — taking good care of the land is an important 5 for everyone. In 2000, the British government started the Eden (伊甸园) Project in Cornwall, England. Now it is a home of various kinds of plants and flowers around the world. In fact, it is famous as the world’s largest greenhouse. In 2002, a book called The Garden: An English Love Affair was published. It talked about Britain’s long gardening history and 6 much public attention. The author cleverly wrote about gardening in British historical stories, telling this old and interesting life style in a vivid way. Gardening is like love.

You can help a charity with its work, look after the environment, or support a team by coaching younger children in sports. Why should you volunteer? Volunteering has many 2 for both the people being helped and the person who volunteers. It can help you develop care for others and understand other people’s feelings. “Volunteering is great for our mental health (心理健康). It makes us feel good— almost like our insides are smiling,” says Maddy Mills, who helps children and their families volunteer for important causes in their communities. It is good for our 3 health too. “Volunteering can also be a workout if you walk while picking up litter or plant trees in your local park,” Mills says. Volunteering can help you 4 with new people, make friends, and learn something useful. It may even help you find your future career. “Volunteering is good for your mind, body, and soul. Small acts of kindness can add up to make our world a healthier and happier place,” Mills adds. How do you 5 ?

You know, those funny little stories with pictures and speech bubbles? They might seem simple, but comic strips have a rich history and a bright future. Let’s dive into their story and see how they have 1 over time! Comic strips started over a century ago. At first, they were short, funny stories in newspapers. People loved them because they were easy to read and made them laugh. Early comic strips often had regular 2 who often got into silly situations. These strips became so popular that they helped sell more newspapers. As time went on, comic strips changed gradually. They weren’t just funny anymore. Some told 3 stories or explored deep themes. Artists experimented with different styles, and new characters were created. Comic strips became a way to entertain people, share ideas and even express opinions on society. However, in recent years, the comic strip market has become weaker. Fewer people read newspapers, which used to be the main home for comic strips. Many newspapers have reduced the 4 for comics or stopped printing them at all. This has made it harder for artists to earn money from their work. Some people worry that traditional comic strips might disappear, replaced by faster, shorter forms of entertainment like videos. But don’t worry! Comic strips are still alive! Today, they’ve found a new home. Many artists create digital comic strips and share them 5 . This has made comic strips easier to find than ever. People from all over the world can enjoy them with just a click. What about the future? Comic strips will likely keep changing. With new technology, we might see more interactive comic strips. Readers can click or swipe to create the story. Some artists use AI to bring their strips to life. The 6 are endless! So, whether you’re a longtime fan or new to comic strips, there’s something for everyone. What’s your favorite comic strip? Let me know. I’d love to hear about it! 1．A．developed B．appeared C．succeeded D．linked 2．A．enemies B．readers C．characters D．directors 3．A．amusing B．serious C．creative D．essential 4．A．cost B．waste C．space D．stress 5．A．on the internet B．through magazines C．on TV D．by E-mail 6．A．responsibilities B．celebrations C．discussions D．possibilities Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday: Not Just Romance, But Us All Over two centuries after her passing, Jane Austen’s novels continue to attract readers around the world. Born in 1775, this English author changed literature (文学) with her clever stories about society. Her stories feel as fresh as they were in the 19th century. A Look into Austen’s World Austen wrote at a time when women were expected to 1 marriage. Yet, in her books like Pride and Prejudice, she cleverly questioned the social rules of her day. Her main female characters, 2 Elizabeth Bennet, showed great independence and inner strength. Using irony and humor, Austen offered sharp views on class and gender (阶级与性别) expectations. Timeless Themes for Modern Readers Her themes (主题) still connect with people strongly today. Adaptations (改编作品) and online discussions keep her exploration of love, family, and self-discovery alive across generations. For students, reading Austen goes 3 language learning. It is a lesson in understanding human nature and social relationships, helping develop thinking skills essential in our modern world. Celebrations of a Literary Legacy (遗产) Austen’s works have had a 4 influence. More than 2, 000 Jane Austen- themed events took place worldwide in 2025. Even schools around the world celebrated her legacy with reading clubs and essay competitions. Austen’s works stay popular because they speak to common 5 : humans always try to find out who they are, how they get along with others and how they look for real happiness in life. A 6 That is Always There Jane Austen’s legacy is a timeless bridge connecting past and present. Her novels are not just books to be studied—they’re life companions. Though she left us 250 years ago, her wise voice keeps clear and strong forever. 1．A．break into B．focus on C．escape from D．complain about 2．A．instead of B．except for C．such as D．in addition to 3．A．into B．toward C．through D．beyond 4．A．fair B．limited C．lasting D．misleading 5．A．truths B．laws C．stories D．accidents 6．A．Hope B．Guide C．Road D．Sign Choose the best answer and complete the passage (选择最恰当的选项完成短文) Kindness is a universal language that requires no translation. It’s the small, thoughtful acts that brighten someone’s day—a smile to a stranger, a helping hand to someone 1 , or a word of comfort to those feeling down. In a world that can feel cold and divided, kindness is the warm light that bridges gaps and connects hearts. Maybe you helped an elderly person carry groceries, or sent a(n) 2 message to a friend feeling disappointed. Perhaps you chose to listen patiently to someone sharing their troubles, or forgave a mistake without 3 . These acts of kindness, no matter how small, have the power to create ripples of positivity (正能量) that spread far and wide. Kindness enriches the lives of both the giver and the receiver. It fills our hearts with joy and reminds us of our shared humanity. It doesn’t require wealth or extra effort—just a willingness to 4 others. Sometimes we hesitate to show kindness because we think our actions won’t work, but every small gesture counts. A simple “Are you okay?” to a classmate who looks sad can lift their spirits for hours. Remember, even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. It might not change the whole world overnight, but it can change someone’s world in that moment. Kindness is spreading: when you show care, others are more likely to follow the same. 5 , a single act of kindness can grow into something much larger. Let your kindness shine brightly, and you’ll light up the world around you. You’ll find that being kind not only makes others happy but also brings happiness to your own life. It teaches us empathy, humility, and the true meaning of connection. In the end, kindness is not 6 a choice—it’s a way of living that enriches every part of our journey. 1．A．at work B．in need C．on holiday D．by himself 2．A．boring B．confusing C．encouraging D．surprising 3．A．hesitation B．expectation C．preparation D．explanation 4．A．agree with B．care for C．depend on D．show off 5．A．After all B．On average C．What’s more D．In this way 6．A．simply B．rarely C．properly D．directly Is it OK to have a messy room? If you have ever heard the words “Clean up your room,” you’re not alone. It’s not uncommon for kids and teens to be a little messy because they’re still learning how to be 1 . But studies have shown that a messy or disorganized living space can cause anxiety and even prevent people from thinking clearly. On the other hand, research has also found that some untidiness may be the sign of a 2 mind. What do you think? Is it OK to have a messy bedroom? Yes—it’s really not a big deal It’s important for young people to have their own space where they can be in control and be themselves, whether they’re messy or tidy. By allowing children to keep their room the way they want it, parents are nurturing (培养) their kids’ 3 . If adults don’t like the mess, they can shut the door! Children who are messy will most likely grow out of it, so there’s no reason to make them feel bad about their habits. And cleaning up your room is boring and takes time that could be spent on much more important things, like homework, hobbies, and friends. 4 , it will just get messy again. No—straightening up is a life skill Research shows messy surroundings cause stress and prevent you from 5 tasks. That’s because your brain can get overwhelmed by all the visual information around you. A neat room, on the other hand, can clear your thinking, help you feel calm, and even boost your sleep. It also means you’ll have enough space to do activities, and you’re less likely to lose stuff and you can see the things that make you happy. Plus, your room might be yours, but it’s still part of the family home and that should be 6 . A tidy room is nice for everyone and—best of all—means no family arguments. 1．A．responsible B．relaxed C．organized D．efficient 2．A．creative B．peaceful C．confused D．simple 3．A．skills B．interests C．confidence D．independence 4．A．However B．Besides C．Instead D．Otherwise 5．A．giving up B．putting off C．focusing on D．carrying on 6．A．respected B．remembered C．ignored D．changed Art in a cup At a café, a staff carefully pours milk into a cup of coffee. With a few quick movements to mix and stir, a picture slowly appears on the smooth brown 1 . People come closer, take photos and enjoy the little artwork in the cup. Today, many people enjoy such beautiful pictures made on top of coffee. But did you know that making art in tea cups began much 2 ? In fact, it started in China centuries ago as a traditional practice called DianCha (点茶). Rise of the culture Tea culture began to grow in the Tang Dynasty (618-907). In the Song Dynasty (960-1279), tea was part of the life for almost everyone. A famous poet, Wang Anshi, even said that tea was as important as rice, oil, and salt. Dian Cha was invented and developed during this period. Later, this practice 3 to other parts of East Asia including Japan. Dancing water and powdered (研成粉末的) leaves The work is not simple. First, hot water was poured over fine powdered tea to make a paste (茶糊). Then, more hot water was added slowly. At the same time, the tea was beaten quickly with a bamboo stick. 4 , the water and tea mixed together, creating a fine foam (泡沫) on the top. Then the maker can draw pictures on the top. The process takes about ten minutes, and the tea should be around 40℃ when ready to drink. The key is 5 and strength. Usually, one needs to beat the tea between 180 and 200 times before the foam appears. It is careful work but must be done quickly, or the foam will clear away. Dian Cha: A moment’s art, a 6 message It often takes a year of practice to learn the skill. However, the beautiful designs do not remain forever. They usually vanish within an hour. Still, Dian Cha shows the wisdom of Chinese tea culture. Today, even though our ways of drinking tea have changed, the spirit of Dian Cha lives on. Its values and traditions can still influence generation after generation. 1．A．page B．surface C．screen D．cover 2．A．better B．worse C．later D．earlier 3．A．moved B．led C．spread D．got 4．A．Step by step B．For the time being C．One after another D．Now and then 5．A．emotion B．quality C．speed D．responsibility 6．A．supporting B．lasting C．disappearing D．confusing 满分冲刺限时练 In the age of social media, many people like to take photos at scenic spots and share them online. However, wanting “the perfect picture” can lead to overcrowding, 1 people often stay in one place for too long. To solve this, Huangling scenic spot in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, introduced a new rule: timed photo-taking. If tourists are waiting in line, staff members will give each person about one minute to take their photo. 2 rules have been introduced in other tourist spots in China. Limiting photo time means less overcrowding and a better travel experience for visitors. We all agree that tourist attractions should be enjoyed by everyone. If some people stay in the best photo spot for too long, it is 3 to others. One minute may be short, but it is enough to take a good picture and helps cut long lines. Some tourists feel that what should be a relaxing activity now becomes more stressful. For children and older people, who might need extra time to take photos, the rule can even be difficult to obey. These 4 show the need for flexibility. Rather than having just one photo spot, tourist attractions could prepare several areas for photo-taking. They could also offer a photo guide to help visitors find good camera angles. Children, older people or people with disabilities should have more time to take their pictures. The goal is clear: to 5 service and give visitors a better travel experience. This rule is an important step toward better management and a healthier travel culture. Only with fairness and order can people 6 enjoy the beauty of travel. 1．A．though B．as C．before D．while 2．A．Strict B．Basic C．Similar D．Simple 3．A．respectful B．helpless C．dishonest D．unfair 4．A．worries B．conclusions C．excuses D．references 5．A．examine B．improve C．operate D．manage 6．A．quickly B．heavily C．truly D．nearly Do you ever feel like you should only want to get happiness? Think again! Emotions (情绪) that are often unpleasant to feel, like anger and sadness, can actually be 1 too, according to experts. At the Emotion Science Lab at Texas A & M University, emotions are studied to see how they 2 people. And Heather Lench, the director of the lab, says negative emotions can act like a “Swiss Army Knife”, helping us in certain situations. For example, sadness is an emotion which is caused by losing a goal or desired result. People aren’t able to do anything about it. While doing nothing might feel like a waste of time, Lench says it can help us recover from failure. And when people are sad, they spend more time thinking, and things like memory and judgment 3 . Now, you may have felt angry when your computer stops working, or when you have been treated 4 . But Lench says that, when angry, you feel ready to act and focus on a problem. This helps us, because we can think faster and respond more quickly to tasks. Many people experience anxiety before a big event or decision. It’s also our body’s way of getting ready to face challenges. According to Lench, when we are anxious, we’re quicker to pick out risks (风险). The emotion can increase performance on things like studying for an exam, and it can even make our eyes widen, giving us a better 5 of danger. While boredom (无聊) is a less understood emotion, Lench says it seems to happen when our situation doesn’t cause any other kind of emotion. And she says researchers think boredom may encourage us to make a 6 in our lives, whether big or small. So, the next time you’re feeling one of these emotions, remember—it could be trying to give you a helping hand! 1．A．helpful B．terrible C．strange D．gentle 2．A．serve B．protect C．satisfy D．influence 3．A．disappear B．improve C．rise D．fail 4．A．politely B．luckily C．badly D．mainly 5．A．hobby B．job C．view D．mood 6．A．speech B．complaint C．mistake D．change Have you heard of the term “crab mentality”? It 1 a self-centred and narrow-minded way of thinking. It means, “If I can’t have something, then you can’t have it either.” People use the term to talk about those who try to stop others from achieving their dreams, often by criticizing (批评) them. As a general rule, if you say someone has “crab mentality”, you are saying something very negative about their 2 . The idea of “crab mentality” comes from the natural behavior of crabs. When they are trapped in a bucket, they prevent each other from escaping. If one crab tries to get out, the others will pull it back in. 3 , they sometimes wait until it has almost escaped before pulling it down. Since all the crabs will face the same bad end, to be cooked and eaten, why don’t they help each other to freedom? People with “crab mentality” do not want you to win or escape a bad situation. Instead, they will try to pull you back down. Their advice always seems 4 , but it is actually designed to hold you back. For example, if you want to start a business, they’ll say, “That’s far too risky. You should just keep your safe job.” If you want to take part in a singing contest, they’ll say, “I heard the judges are really mean. Don’t embarrass yourself.” Now that we know what a person with “crab mentality” is like, it’s worth asking: could we sometimes be the crab in someone else’s bucket? And how can we fight “crab mentality”? The first step is to learn to 5 it in yourself. Once you are aware of your problem, you can actively find ways to overcome it. Next, make it a 6 to show happiness for someone’s success. When your friend gets a good grade or wins a prize, always say “You’ve earned it!” or “Let’s celebrate your success!” Your words can change your feelings. Soon, you’ll start to feel like their success is your success, too. 1．A．explains B．describes C．develops D．challenges 2．A．personality B．ability C．situation D．background 3．A．For example B．As a result C．In other words D．Even worse 4．A．encouraging B．helpful C．professional D．interesting 5．A．keep B．avoid C．recognize D．practise 6．A．habit B．difference C．wish D．talent Should photos be banned in art galleries? The Frick Collection is a famous gallery (美术馆) in New York. Walking through the galleries is like travelling back in time. Recently, the gallery decided to make a (an) 1 : it decided to ban (禁止) photography in its galleries. Some art fans are glad there won’t be lots of people holding up cameras, but others say the new rule isn’t fair. What do you think? Should taking photos be banned in galleries?Yes—it spoils the experience Galleries can help us 2 with art and awaken our senses. When visitors keep trying to take photos in galleries, they miss out on making the most of the beautiful art. Getting the most from art takes full attention— theaters, 3 , use darkness to focus the audience’s attention. Without screens visitors can really look at the artworks and focus on how each piece makes them feel. A no-photo rule might also 4 the crowds around the most famous artworks, where people wait to get the perfect photo. Gift stores benefit too because when visitors buy some souvenirs instead of taking photos, it makes money for the galleries and helps them stay open.No—taking photos is part of modern life Photos allow visitors to share experiences such as enjoying art with friends or family who aren’t there. Also, it requires 5 to truly understand the piece of art. But if the gallery is busy, you can’t stop in front of a display for ages. Having photos of their favourite pieces allows visitors to revisit and reflect on what they’ve seen after they have left the gallery. Besides, smartphones can offer a chance to get the 6 experience through gallery apps and QR codes, which provide more information about artworks and artists. Galleries can maintain their vitality by means of these modern facilities. 1．A．introduction B．discussion C．argument D．change 2．A．agree B．match C．deal D．connect 3．A．in short B．for example C．in addition D．even worse 4．A．greet B．attract C．reduce D．invite 5．A．time B．chance C．energy D．explanation 6．A．adventurous B．exciting C．educational D．similar Dear friends, I am writing from China’s Tiangong Space Station, 400 kilometers above Earth! I share my tiny “apartment” with three other mice. Six Chinese astronauts are taking care of us. Last night, we 1 the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft with three of them. The trip took just over three hours and was very smooth. For humans, this is already a familiar journey, but for us mice, it’s a historic first! We are the first mammals(哺乳动物) to live in the Chinese space station. Reaching space was not easy. We were not born “space mice.” We were chosen from 300 2 after more than 60 days of tough training. The training tests were extremely difficult. I will tell you about two of them. First, we had to stand on a fast-spinning (旋转) rod. I held on tightly with my front paws(爪子) and kept moving my back legs to avoid 3 . My paws hurt badly, but I managed to last for 115 seconds, which was an excellent result. Then, the best-performing mice were placed in a small chamber and spun rapidly in different directions-first for 30 seconds, then longer. Every time I came out, I feltdizzy (眩晕) and the world seemed tospin. 4 , I had to walk on a narrow balance beam without falling, and I succeeded. Now that I’m here in Tiangong, I want to make every moment 5 . We will stay for about one week before returning to Earth. After that, scientists will study the changes in our bodies. Their research will help everyone better understand the 6 of life in space.

Here’s what she said to our questions. Q: What 1 do people face when working with others towards a common goal? Rita: Most people today, especially young people, are going to find themselves working with others to achieve a common goal at some point in their lives. However, it’s not always easy. They may fail to understand one another because of poor communication. Their different working styles can lead to fights. They may not know others’ tasks or trust each other. They may have their 2 goals that don’t match the team’s goal. Q: How can we make sure that each team member’s talents and experience are fully used? Rita: First, no one can do all things. It’s important to give people jobs based on what they 3 and what they know. Just like in a sports team, you have to really trust each other to do what you should do. When many people work on one project and each does their work, it’s very important that everyone should 4 their part of the project. But sometimes, people should also be ready to do something different from their daily job to help others. Q: How can team members 5 communicate and share their strong points with each other?

But next month, I am going to travel to a remote area in Central Africa. I want to learn enough Lingala, one of the local languages, to have simple conversations with people there. 1 , I was worried because I am busy and don’t have much free time. Then I found a language-learning app called Memrise, which fits easily into my daily life. To be honest, when I get a 2 moment at home, I usually check messages, watch short videos, or scroll on my phone. Now, I use those few minutes to learn new words instead. With Memrise, learning feels light and fun, not stressful. Each session only takes five or ten minutes, so it is easy to keep going every day. Memrise is fun. It gives you new words to learn. These are “ 3 ” in your“greenhouse”. When you practise, you “water your plants” and they grow. When the app believes you have remembered a word, it moves it to your “garden”. You get points as your garden grows, so you can compare yourself with other users. I want to get a high score and move to the next level. If I forget to log on, the app sends messages or emails to 4 me to “water my plants”. The app uses two learning ideas. First, people remember things better when they link them to pictures. Memrise translates words and also encourages“mems”, which are images that help you remember. I memorised motele, the Lingala word for“engine”, by 5 an old engine in a motel room. Another idea is that we need to stop studying and repeat words later, with time between sessions. Memrise helps with this because you only use it for five or ten minutes a day. I have learnt hundreds of Lingala words. This won’t make me 6 , but I hope I will do more than just smile and look confused when I meet people in the Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary! 1．A．However B．At first C．In fact D．As a result 2．A．busy B．spare C．happy D．rare 3．A．gardeners B．tools C．seeds D．resources 4．A．order B．force C．remind D．guide 5．A．drawing B．discovering C．repairing D．imagining 6．A．fluent B．focused C．confident D．relaxed 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．D 6．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了“我”最近发现的一款名叫Memrise的语言学习软件。 1．句意：起初，我一开始很担心，因为我很忙，没有太多空闲时间。 However然而；At first起初；In fact事实上；As a result结果。根据“Then I found a language-learning app called Memrise, which fits easily into my daily life.”可知，“我”起初很担心。故选B。 2．句意：老实说，当我在家有空闲时间时，我通常会查看信息、看短视频或刷手机。 busy忙碌的；spare空闲的；happy高兴的；rare稀有的。根据“I usually check messages, watch short videos, or scroll on my phone.”可知，应该在空闲时查看信息、看短视频或耍手机。故选B。 3．句意：这些是你“温室”里的“种子”。 gardeners园丁；tools工具；seeds种子；resources资源。根据“When you practise, you ‘water your plants’ and they grow.”可知，这些单词就像种子一样，当你每天练习的时候，它们就会生长。故选C。 4．句意：如果我忘记登录，应用程序会发送消息或邮件来提醒我“浇我的植物”。 order命令；force强迫；remind提醒；guide指导。根据“the app sends messages or emails”可知，应用程序会发送消息或邮件提醒“我”给植物浇水。故选C。 5．句意：我通过想象旅馆房间的一个旧引擎来记林加拉语中的“引擎”这个词。 drawing画；discovering发现；repairing修理；imagining想象。根据“Memrise translates words and also encourages“mems”, which are images that help you remember.”可知，通过想象来记忆单词。故选D。 6．句意：这不会让我流利，但我希望在遇到刚果的人时，我不会只是微笑和困惑地看着他们。 fluent流利的；focused注意力集中的；confident自信的；relaxed放松的。根据“I have learnt hundreds of Lingala words.”和“but I hope I will do more than just smile and look confused when I meet people in the Congo.”可知，学习了成百上千的单词还不足以使“我”流利地和刚果人交流。故选A。 Brooke Raboutou is one of the best rock climbers in the world.

It’s the small, thoughtful acts that brighten someone’s day—a smile to a stranger, a helping hand to someone 1 , or a word of comfort to those feeling down. In a world that can feel cold and divided, kindness is the warm light that bridges gaps and connects hearts. Maybe you helped an elderly person carry groceries, or sent a(n) 2 message to a friend feeling disappointed. Perhaps you chose to listen patiently to someone sharing their troubles, or forgave a mistake without 3 . These acts of kindness, no matter how small, have the power to create ripples of positivity (正能量) that spread far and wide. Kindness enriches the lives of both the giver and the receiver. It fills our hearts with joy and reminds us of our shared humanity. It doesn’t require wealth or extra effort—just a willingness to 4 others. Sometimes we hesitate to show kindness because we think our actions won’t work, but every small gesture counts. A simple “Are you okay?” to a classmate who looks sad can lift their spirits for hours. Remember, even the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference. It might not change the whole world overnight, but it can change someone’s world in that moment. Kindness is spreading: when you show care, others are more likely to follow the same. 5 , a single act of kindness can grow into something much larger.

Dian Cha was invented and developed during this period. Later, this practice 3 to other parts of East Asia including Japan. Dancing water and powdered (研成粉末的) leaves The work is not simple. First, hot water was poured over fine powdered tea to make a paste (茶糊). Then, more hot water was added slowly. At the same time, the tea was beaten quickly with a bamboo stick. 4 , the water and tea mixed together, creating a fine foam (泡沫) on the top. Then the maker can draw pictures on the top. The process takes about ten minutes, and the tea should be around 40℃ when ready to drink. The key is 5 and strength. Usually, one needs to beat the tea between 180 and 200 times before the foam appears. It is careful work but must be done quickly, or the foam will clear away. Dian Cha: A moment’s art, a 6 message It often takes a year of practice to learn the skill. However, the beautiful designs do not remain forever. They usually vanish within an hour. Still, Dian Cha shows the wisdom of Chinese tea culture. Today, even though our ways of drinking tea have changed, the spirit of Dian Cha lives on. Its values and traditions can still influence generation after generation. 1．A．page B．surface C．screen D．cover 2．A．better B．worse C．later D．earlier 3．A．moved B．led C．spread D．got 4．A．Step by step B．For the time being C．One after another D．Now and then 5．A．emotion B．quality C．speed D．responsibility 6．A．supporting B．lasting C．disappearing D．confusing 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．C 6．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了点茶的历史、制作过程及其文化意义。点茶起源于中国宋代，是一种将茶粉与热水混合并用竹棒搅拌出泡沫后绘制图案的传统技艺。虽然制作过程复杂且图案短暂，但点茶体现了中国茶文化的智慧，其价值和传统仍代代相传。 1．句意：随着几次快速的混合和搅拌，一张图片慢慢地出现在光滑的棕色表面上。 page页；surface表面；screen屏幕；cover封面。根据“a picture slowly appears on the smooth brown...”可知，图片出现在咖啡的表面上。故选B。 2．句意：但是你知道吗，在茶杯里制作艺术要早得多？ better更好；worse更差；later更晚；earlier更早。根据“In fact, it started in China centuries ago as a traditional practice called Dian Cha (点茶).”可知，此处指在茶杯里制作艺术更早。故选D。 3．句意：后来，这种做法传播到东亚其他地区，包括日本。 moved移动；led领导；spread传播；got得到。根据“to other parts of East Asia including Japan.”可知，此处指这种做法传播到其他地区。故选C。 4．句意：一步一步地，水和茶混合在一起，在顶部形成细小的泡沫。 Step by step一步一步地；For the time being暂时；One after another一个接一个；Now and then时不时地。根据“First, hot water was poured over fine powdered tea to make a paste (茶糊).

However, wanting “the perfect picture” can lead to overcrowding, 1 people often stay in one place for too long. To solve this, Huangling scenic spot in Wuyuan, Jiangxi, introduced a new rule: timed photo-taking. If tourists are waiting in line, staff members will give each person about one minute to take their photo. 2 rules have been introduced in other tourist spots in China. Limiting photo time means less overcrowding and a better travel experience for visitors. We all agree that tourist attractions should be enjoyed by everyone. If some people stay in the best photo spot for too long, it is 3 to others. One minute may be short, but it is enough to take a good picture and helps cut long lines. Some tourists feel that what should be a relaxing activity now becomes more stressful. For children and older people, who might need extra time to take photos, the rule can even be difficult to obey. These 4 show the need for flexibility. Rather than having just one photo spot, tourist attractions could prepare several areas for photo-taking. They could also offer a photo guide to help visitors find good camera angles. Children, older people or people with disabilities should have more time to take their pictures. The goal is clear: to 5 service and give visitors a better travel experience. This rule is an important step toward better management and a healthier travel culture.

At the Emotion Science Lab at Texas A & M University, emotions are studied to see how they 2 people. And Heather Lench, the director of the lab, says negative emotions can act like a “Swiss Army Knife”, helping us in certain situations. For example, sadness is an emotion which is caused by losing a goal or desired result. People aren’t able to do anything about it. While doing nothing might feel like a waste of time, Lench says it can help us recover from failure. And when people are sad, they spend more time thinking, and things like memory and judgment 3 . Now, you may have felt angry when your computer stops working, or when you have been treated 4 . But Lench says that, when angry, you feel ready to act and focus on a problem. This helps us, because we can think faster and respond more quickly to tasks. Many people experience anxiety before a big event or decision. It’s also our body’s way of getting ready to face challenges. According to Lench, when we are anxious, we’re quicker to pick out risks (风险). The emotion can increase performance on things like studying for an exam, and it can even make our eyes widen, giving us a better 5 of danger. While boredom (无聊) is a less understood emotion, Lench says it seems to happen when our situation doesn’t cause any other kind of emotion. And she says researchers think boredom may encourage us to make a 6 in our lives, whether big or small.

It 1 a self-centred and narrow-minded way of thinking. It means, “If I can’t have something, then you can’t have it either.” People use the term to talk about those who try to stop others from achieving their dreams, often by criticizing (批评) them. As a general rule, if you say someone has “crab mentality”, you are saying something very negative about their 2 . The idea of “crab mentality” comes from the natural behavior of crabs. When they are trapped in a bucket, they prevent each other from escaping. If one crab tries to get out, the others will pull it back in. 3 , they sometimes wait until it has almost escaped before pulling it down. Since all the crabs will face the same bad end, to be cooked and eaten, why don’t they help each other to freedom? People with “crab mentality” do not want you to win or escape a bad situation. Instead, they will try to pull you back down. Their advice always seems 4 , but it is actually designed to hold you back. For example, if you want to start a business, they’ll say, “That’s far too risky. You should just keep your safe job.” If you want to take part in a singing contest, they’ll say, “I heard the judges are really mean. Don’t embarrass yourself.” Now that we know what a person with “crab mentality” is like, it’s worth asking: could we sometimes be the crab in someone else’s bucket? And how can we fight “crab mentality”? The first step is to learn to 5 it in yourself. Once you are aware of your problem, you can actively find ways to overcome it. Next, make it a 6 to show happiness for someone’s success. When your friend gets a good grade or wins a prize, always say “You’ve earned it!” or “Let’s celebrate your success!” Your words can change your feelings. Soon, you’ll start to feel like their success is your success, too. 1．A．explains B．describes C．develops D．challenges 2．A．personality B．ability C．situation D．background 3．A．For example B．As a result C．In other words D．Even worse 4．A．encouraging B．helpful C．professional D．interesting 5．A．keep B．avoid C．recognize D．practise 6．A．habit B．difference C．wish D．talent 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．A 【导语】本文讲述了“螃蟹心态”这一概念，解释了其含义、来源，以及具有这种心态的人的表现，还探讨了如何应对“螃蟹心态”。 1．句意：它描述了一种以自我为中心、心胸狭隘的思维方式。 explains解释；describes描述；develops发展；challenges挑战。根据“a self-centred and narrow-minded way of thinking”可知，此处是对“螃蟹心态”的描述，describes符合语境。故选B。 2．句意：一般来说，如果你说某人有“螃蟹心态”，你是在对他们的性格说一些非常消极的话。 personality性格；ability能力；situation情况；background背景。根据“if you say someone has ‘crab mentality’, you are saying something very negative”可知，说某人有“螃蟹心态”是对其性格方面的负面评价。故选A。 3．句意：更糟糕的是，他们有时会等到它几乎逃脱时才把它拉下来。 For example例如；As a result结果；In other words换句话说；Even worse更糟糕的是。根据“they sometimes wait until it has almost escaped before pulling it down”可知，此处是进一步说明螃蟹更糟糕的行为，Even worse符合语境。故选D。 4．句意：他们的建议似乎总是很有帮助，但实际上是为了阻止你前进。 encouraging鼓励的；helpful有帮助的；professional专业的；interesting有趣的。根据“but it is actually designed to hold you back”可知，前后是转折关系，说明表面上建议似乎有帮助，实则不然，helpful符合语境。故选B。 5．句意：第一步是学会识别自己身上的这种心态。 keep保持；avoid避免；recognize识别；practise练习。根据“Once you are aware of your problem”可知，要先识别出问题，recognize符合语境。故选C。 6．句意：接下来，养成对别人的成功表示高兴的习惯。 habit习惯；difference不同；wish愿望；talent天赋。根据“show happiness for someone’s success”可知，养成对别人成功表示高兴的习惯，habit符合语境。故选A。 Should photos be banned in art galleries?

I share my tiny “apartment” with three other mice. Six Chinese astronauts are taking care of us. Last night, we 1 the Shenzhou-21 spacecraft with three of them. The trip took just over three hours and was very smooth. For humans, this is already a familiar journey, but for us mice, it’s a historic first! We are the first mammals(哺乳动物) to live in the Chinese space station. Reaching space was not easy. We were not born “space mice.” We were chosen from 300 2 after more than 60 days of tough training. The training tests were extremely difficult. I will tell you about two of them. First, we had to stand on a fast-spinning (旋转) rod. I held on tightly with my front paws(爪子) and kept moving my back legs to avoid 3 . My paws hurt badly, but I managed to last for 115 seconds, which was an excellent result. Then, the best-performing mice were placed in a small chamber and spun rapidly in different directions-first for 30 seconds, then longer. Every time I came out, I feltdizzy (眩晕) and the world seemed tospin. 4 , I had to walk on a narrow balance beam without falling, and I succeeded. Now that I’m here in Tiangong, I want to make every moment 5 . We will stay for about one week before returning to Earth. After that, scientists will study the changes in our bodies. Their research will help everyone better understand the 6 of life in space.

After that, scientists will study the changes in our bodies.”可知，停留一周后返回地球，科学家会研究“我们”身体的变化，说明小鼠的太空之旅肩负科研使命，“meaningful”符合语境。故选C。 6．句意：他们的研究将帮助所有人更好地理解太空生活的影响。 colors颜色；effects影响；length长度；temperature温度。根据上文“After that, scientists will study the changes in our bodies.”可知，研究小鼠身体的变化，目的是探究太空生活带来的影响，“effects”符合科研逻辑。故选B。 THE ART OF TEAMWORK This week we asked Rita Charlesworth, a company trainer and author of several books on the art of teamwork, how we can all learn to work in a team better. Here’s what she said to our questions. Q: What 1 do people face when working with others towards a common goal? Rita: Most people today, especially young people, are going to find themselves working with others to achieve a common goal at some point in their lives. However, it’s not always easy. They may fail to understand one another because of poor communication. Their different working styles can lead to fights. They may not know others’ tasks or trust each other. They may have their 2 goals that don’t match the team’s goal. Q: How can we make sure that each team member’s talents and experience are fully used? Rita: First, no one can do all things. It’s important to give people jobs based on what they 3 and what they know. Just like in a sports team, you have to really trust each other to do what you should do. When many people work on one project and each does their work, it’s very important that everyone should 4 their part of the project. But sometimes, people should also be ready to do something different from their daily job to help others. Q: How can team members 5 communicate and share their strong points with each other? Rita: I would tell them to get to know their team members. Find out everyone’s strengths as soon as possible and make sure they build the team. They also need to make sure everyone understands the importance of their part in the project, no matter how small. If they can’t see how they fit into the bigger picture, it’s hard to 6 . I really think it all comes down to the same basic idea: if they want their team to work, if they want to work with others successfully, they really need to communicate with one another every step of the way. 1．A．chances B．challenges C．changes D．choices 2．A．right B．general C．personal D．limited 3．A．are afraid of B．are proud of C．are pleased with D．are good at 4．A．stick to B．complain about C．depend on D．learn from 5．A．regularly B．politely C．immediately D．effectively 6．A．stay active B．keep strict C．look serious D．feel relaxed 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．D 6．A 【导语】本文主要探讨了团队合作中常见的挑战、如何发挥成员特长以及促进有效沟通的方法，强调了沟通与信任在团队协作中的重要性。 1．句意：在与他人为共同目标合作时，人们面临什么挑战？ chances机会；challenges挑战；changes改变；choices选择。根据后文“it’s not always easy… poor communication… fights…”可知，此处描述的是合作中的困难，应选“挑战”。故选B。 2．句意：他们可能有与团队目标不一致的个人目标。 right正确的；general普通的；personal个人的；limited有限的。根据“that don’t match the team’s goal”可知，此处强调个人目标与团队目标冲突，应选“个人的”。故选C。 3．句意：根据他们擅长什么和知道什么来分配工作。 are afraid of害怕；are proud of自豪；are pleased with满意；are good at擅长。根据前文“talents and experience”及“based on what they… and what they know”可知，此处指根据能力和专长分配任务，应选“擅长”。故选D。 4．句意：每个人都应该坚持完成自己的那部分项目。 stick to坚持；complain about抱怨；depend on依赖；learn from学习。根据“each does their work”可知，强调各司其职、坚守职责，应选“坚持”。故选A。 5．句意：团队成员如何有效沟通并分享彼此优点？ regularly定期；politely礼貌地；immediately立即；effectively有效地。根据后文“if they want to work with others successfully, they really need to communicate with one another every step”可知，要想成功与人合作，就要有效沟通，强调沟通的效率与效果，应选“有效地”。故选D。 6．句意：如果他们看不到自己如何融入大局，就很难保持积极。 stay active保持积极；keep strict保持严格；look serious看起来严肃；feel relaxed感到放松。根据前文“They also need to make sure everyone understands the importance of their part”可知，此处指每个人都要看到自身价值，否则难以维持积极性，应选“保持积极”。故选A。 28 备战新中考，天天有收获，周周有进步，月月有突破！ 27 备战新中考，天天有收获，周周有进步，月月有突破！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
