What do young people like to do in their free time? If you think they are all playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong. In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different — “grandma hobbies.” “Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them. Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours — a habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully obsessed.” Emma said it was so relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of looking at a screen. These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weare as an example, a 31-year-old blacksmith (铁匠) — people now wait a year for her handmade products. So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the newest cool thing to do! 12．What are “grandma hobbies” according to the passage? A．Modern mobile phone apps. B．Old-fashioned video games. C．Traditional enjoyable activities. 13．Why did Emma MacTaggart start needlepoint? A．To make more money. B．To change her lifestyle. C．To pass the time with friends. 14．What does the underlined word “obsessed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．紧张的 B．着迷的 C．困惑的 15．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．“Grandma hobbies” help young people relax and find pleasure. B．All young people turn their hobbies into successful businesses. C．Video games are the most popular free-time activity for Gen Z. Have you ever seen the sky dance? In the northern parts of the world, like Norway, Canada, and Iceland, you can see the Aurora Borealis, or the Northern Lights. 16 They look like colorful ribbons of green, pink, and purple waving in the sky. 17 It happens when particles (粒子) from the sun hit the earth’s atmosphere. The earth’s magnetic field guides these particles to the North and South Poles. When they hit the gases in our air, they create light. The best time to see them is in winter. 18 You need to go far away from city lights. The darker the sky, the better the show. Many people travel thousands of miles to see this wonder. 19 Some say it brings good luck. Others say it is the spirits of ancestors dancing. If you want to see the lights, you must be patient. 20 But when they appear, it is a moment you will never forget. A．It is a natural light show. B．The nights are long and dark then. C．They appear suddenly and disappear quickly. D．How are they made? E．There are many stories about the lights.

Normally green leaves turn red, orange, yellow, and finally brown. This is a 31 (nature) phenomenon. It is called “leaf phenology (叶片物候)”. However, because of 32 (change) climate, autumn is changing. According to a study, the season length is 33 (grow), meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is destroying the season. “Trees are holding on to their leaves longer,” explained an expert. “In my own neighborhood, I feel 34 (curiosity) when I find that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago 35 they do now.” Climate change isn’t only causing 36 leaves to change later. We can also expect later frost (霜) according to Dr Michael. Michael said, “That means pests (害虫) will be active for a longer time in autumn, causing a greater health 37 (risky) to human beings.” However, we may be able to avoid this 38 (develop). Michael said that 39 humans control their carbon dioxide emissions (二氧化碳排放), they can still stop the worst effects of climate change. “A new study has 40 (recent) shown that warming will likely stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Michael said. 三、写作 请阅读下面短文，根据所提供的信息，回答五个问题，并将答案写在横线上。要求所写答案语法正确、信息完整切题。 A cloud forest is a very special kind of forest in cloudy mountains. There, clouds pass through trees and make the leaves of trees wet. Rain falls almost every day. Plants of cloud forests live in a special way. They grow on the trees instead of on the ground. They live on the high parts of trees so that they can get more light to be stronger. There are many kinds of special animals in cloud forests. For example, tree kangaroos (树袋鼠) have long tails and they live in trees like monkeys. Frogs can climb up trees and cross leaves easily. Cloud forests are important to people. They not only give us healthy food, but also offer new medicine for illness. Unluckily, the beautiful forests are in danger now. Why?Firstly, it is getting warmer around the world, but plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in cool places. Therefore, it’s difficult for them to find a proper place to live in. Secondly, people cut down many trees for farming or feeding cows. The animals are losing their homes. Let’s save the cloud forests before it’s too late! 41．How often does it rain in cloud forests? 42．Why do plants live on the high parts of trees? 43．What is the tail of a tree kangaroo like? 44．Do plants and animals in cloud forests like to live in cool places or hot places? 45．What do people cut down many trees for? 46．请以 My favourite free-time activity 为题，写一篇不少于 60 词的短文。要求：内容完整，语句通顺，书写规范。 What is your favourite free-time activity?
