阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。
Did you know that vocabulary (词汇) is more important than grammar? If you have a wide vocabulary, you can communicate successfully ____11____ the grammar is not perfect.
However, one ____12____ problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Why does this often happen? The main ____13____ is that most students learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not _____14_____ if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words well is to learn new words and use them ____15____. You can do this with a very easy exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than ____16____ reading its meaning. You should write the word, the meaning in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
____17____ you just learn the word “generous”. Write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), meaning—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner; you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous as he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. If your example sentences have ____18____ to do with your own life, it’s especially good. That can create a ____19____ connection with the new word. This way, you will remember the word much longer and more easily.
The next day, ____20____ your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence with the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two easy steps—writing the word and using it right now—help you remember and use the new word.
Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.

18. A. something B. anything C. everything D. nothing
19. A. present B. personal C. central D. social
20. A. hand in B. go over C. show off D. look for

Slides are simple but always fun. All you need to do is climb up to the top and slide down. But did you know that there is science behind this simple playground equipment (设备)?
① You climb up the slide and sit down.
You are ready to go. Are you sliding down? No, not yet. Things stay still (静止) unless something makes them ________. It is Newton’s first law. So you have to give yourself a push to start the journey down.
② Now you are sliding down.
Do you feel you are slowing down a bit? When two things rub (摩擦) against each other, they cause friction (摩擦力). Without friction, you will slide down faster and faster to the bottom.
③ At the bottom of the slide, you come to a full stop.
Your feet touch the ground and add extra friction. Newton’s first law also says moving things keep moving unless something makes them stop. So, if you do not use your feet, you’ll fly off the slide.
21. The best word for the blank is ________.
A. Stop B. fly off C. move D. change direction
22. Which picture explains why you slow down a bit when sliding down?

In 1674, I was born on my father’s small farm in Nottinghamshire, England. I was the third of five sons. My childhood was very happy. I liked going to school and learning new things. But I often used to daydream about going to sea.
One day, Father asked, “Lemuel, have you thought about your future? I think you would be a good doctor.”
I wanted to satisfy him, so I said, “Yes, Father. I’ll go to Cambridge University and study medicine.” But as I spoke, I was thinking, “At university, I can also learn things that will be useful to a sailor (水手).”
After several years of study, I became a doctor. Not long after, I married my wife, Mary. Before long, we had children, a boy and a girl. They gave us great joy. I enjoyed being a doctor for the first few years. But then I became bored, and ideas of travel filled my mind. I imagined going to far-off places and seeing wonderful new things.
“Mary,” I said one day, “I need more adventures (冒险) in my life. The captain of a ship that is about to sail has offered me a job as the ship’s doctor. I don’t know how long the journey will take, but I promise I will return. And when I do, I’ll tell you and the children all about my adventures.”
So in 1699, I set sail on the Antelope from Bristol. That city is a large and very old port in the southwest of England. The captain was a good man and had sailed a great deal.
“Welcome aboard. Doctor Gulliver,” he said, “First, we’ll be sailing down the Atlantic Ocean and around the coast of Africa. Then we’ll sail through the Indian Ocean to the South Seas.” Our journey went well until one morning, somewhere near Tasmania in the South Pacific Ocean.
“I don’t like the look of those clouds,” the captain said. “I think a storm is coming.”
Within an hour, a big storm began. The sea rose in great, angry waves much taller than the Antelope. The wind, now very strong, made a terrible sound.
“The wind is blowing the ship off course (航线)!” shouted the captain. “Look out!”
—Adapted from Gulliver’s Travels
24. The underlined word “Antelope” in Paragraph 6 refers to (指代) the name of _________.
A. an ocean B. a city C. a ship D. a sailor
25. What’s the right order of the events about Lemuel?
① Lemuel became the doctor of a ship.
② Lemuel married his sweetheart, Mary.
③ Lemuel worked as a doctor for years.
④ Lemuel studied medicine in a university.
A. ①④②③ B. ④②③① C. ④②①③ D. ③②①④
26. What can be inferred (推断) from the article?
A. Lemuel had four brothers and two sons.
B. The captain had rich sailing experience.
C. Lemuel was happy to go to university to study medicine.
D. Lemuel’s parents supported Lemuel in becoming a sailor.
C
When Albert Einstein was 16, he imagined travelling beside a beam of light. This creative thought played an important role in helping him develop the world-famous theory of relativity (相对论). Einstein once said, “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” He even considered daydreaming as “thought experiments”.
Daydreaming allows our minds to think freely about ideas, memories and future plans. It can be imagining space travel, looking forward to a holiday or recalling a happy birthday party. According to Chinese health research, proper daydreaming every day can improve both our health and creativity.
When we face difficulties or stress, daydreaming helps our minds relax and reduces worries and fears. For example, practising speaking in class in our imagination can make us feel calmer. It also encourages creativity and lets us explore a world without limits. Guo Qiang, an expert (专家) in thoughts and feelings, suggests that everyone should take time to daydream, as it can greatly shape our feelings in a positive (积极的) way.
However, we should not daydream when we need to focus (集中注意力), such as during lessons or crossing the road. We can do it while walking or brushing our teeth, starting with happy memories or imagining future successes. Research shows that people often find better solutions (解决方法) after a short break. So next time you have problems with homework, stop for a moment and let your daydreams bring you new ideas.
27. The writer uses Einstein’s story at the beginning to _________.
A. tell readers to study hard like Einstein B. remind readers to learn science well
C. interest readers and lead into the topic D. show readers the danger of daydreaming
28. What can daydreaming help people do according to the passage?
A. Pay more attention in class. B. Solve problems more easily.
C. Make fewer mistakes in daily life. D. Remember everything more clearly.
29. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of creativity in daily life.
B. The right way and advantages of daydreaming.
C. The secrets of Einstein’s scientific achievement.
D. The methods of dealing with difficulties in life.
30. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) toward daydreaming?
A. Supportive. B. Worried. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested.
D

Widely considered as one of China’s most ancient games, Go (围棋) has been practiced for over 4,000 years.

The Yellow River, known as China’s “Mother River”, is not that yellow in recent years. As China’s second-longest river, it has long been troubled by pollution and too much sand. However, thanks to environmental protection efforts, its water quality has improved greatly. In 2022, for the first time, the main part of the Yellow River reached Class II water quality. This means the water is clean enough for drinking after proper treatment. This high standard has been kept for years.
Numbers show great progress. Since 2018, the percentage of clean water (Class I-III) across the whole river area has gone up from 66.4% to over 90%. At the same time, the dirtiest water (below Class V), which was not fit for any use, is no longer seen. On average, the rate of good water in the area continues to go up every year. These amazing results show the environment of the Yellow River is getting better and better.
This great change did not come easily. In the 1990s and early 2000s, the river faced serious environmental problems. Factory waste, agricultural pollution and household wastewater made the river dirty. Many local fish died out, and the water became unsafe to drink, putting millions of people living along the river in danger.
To save the “Mother River”, our government took many useful steps. Over 17,000 polluted outlets (排污口) were strictly controlled. The Yellow River Protection Law came into effect in 2023, offering the river long-term support. Besides, large projects to stop soil loss were carried out on the Loess Plateau (黄土高原), and water projects like the Xiaolangdi Dam helped reduce sand in the water.
Today, the Yellow River is lively again. Endangered fish have appeared in its waters again, and rare birds like whooper swans now spend winter in the Sanmenxia Reservoir. The “Mother River”, once polluted, is now clear and healthy, bringing hope back to the land and people who depend on it.
The changes to the Yellow River
Improvement in water quality
The water in the Yellow River now has much ____56____ quality.
The water is clean enough after it is properly ____57____.
Progress in water quality numbers
The percentage of clean water (Class I-III) along the whole river has ____58____ by 23.6%
The dirtiest water has already disappeared ____59____.
The rate of the clean water along the river keeps going up.
Serious problems of the river in the ____60____
In the 1990s and early 2000s,three kinds of waste caused bad results:
Local fish disappeared.
People living along the river ____61____ losing their lives.
Useful protection steps
Polluted outlets into the river were under ____62____.
The law about protecting the Yellow River came into effect.
Large projects were carried out to keep soil from being ____63____.
New look of the river
Endangered fish have ____64____ to its waters.
Rare birds now spend their winter in the Sanmenxia Reservoir.
The new look of the “Mother River” makes the people, animals as well as the land ____65____ again.
