I will never forget that spring when I met Mr. Dong, the teacher who changed my life.
When I first met him, Mr. Dong was in his studio, employing his brush with great skill. His great work, Poem in Clerical Script, left me in awe. The strong strokes (线条) and the square yet varied outline of Chinese characters all demonstrated his mastery.
“Would you like to learn?” Mr. Dong asked with a smile. I nodded excitedly. And so, I became his student. In the days that followed, Mr. Dong patiently taught me the techniques of painting and calligraphy. He emphasized the importance of integrating an ancient charm in our works, using bright colors and mastering the use of ink. Whenever I had questions, he always explained tirelessly.
I love painting plum blossoms (梅花) and have faithfully followed his brilliant style. For my painting entitled Lady smelling the plum blossoms, I have heeded his instructions to outline the flowers with light ink and draw the pistils (花蕊) with thick dark ink dots. The plum blossoms are arranged in alternating layers of denseness and thinness. I have drawn a lady wearing her hair in double knots under the flowers. She is picking up a branch to smell the sweet fragrance, with a smile playing around her eyes. I have also applied color to this lady, so that she stands out vividly in the blossoming branches of the dark plum trees.
As seasons passed, my skills improved steadily under Mr. Dong’s careful instructions. Every time I made a breakthrough in my work, I would think of his teachings. He not only passed on artistic skills but also taught me life lessons.
Now, whenever I pick up a brush to paint, I’m reminded of Mr. Dong’s earnest instructions. His teachings, both by word and by example, and his care like a strict father and kind teacher, are deeply carved in my heart. I know that this debt of gratitude to my teacher will accompany me throughout my life, inspiring me to continue advancing on my artistic journey.

B. It features various ink shades with the lady in color.
C. The plum blossoms are mainly painted in a single layer.

San Pedro de Atacama, a small town in Chile’s Atacama Desert, is a busy tourist destination. Tour operators and sellers call out to visitors in English in an attempt to turn heads, before trying French, German, or Mandarin. They turn away and whisper in Spanish if they are unsuccessful.
Long before these tourists arrived, another language had been spoken in the region-Ckunsa. Once declared extinct in the 1950s, Ckunsa is still alive in the depths of the desert. “I don’t accept that my native language is extinct,” said 55-year-old Tomás Vilea. “We are going to revitalize our language. It’s not just about communication. It’s our identity.”
The Ckunsa language faced serious suppression (压制) in the 1800s when public schools were established and Spanish was made the dominant language. The Chilean government is now taking steps to help preserve native languages. A curriculum focusing on “the language and culture of ancestral peoples” has been introduced, which is taught to students in areas with significant native populations.
In recent years, local initiatives in the Atacama Desert have also aimed to restore Ckunsa. In 2022, 1,300 Ckunsa dictionaries were distributed to primary school students in San Pedro de Atacama. In the desert oasis of Calama, children are now learning the language at their school. Tomás Vilea is the Ckunsa teacher at the school, helping to pass down the language to a new generation. Although countless words have faded like stars, which is a sorrowful loss of cultural heritage, the community passionately recovers old terms from ancient songs and texts.
Vilea and others feel it is vital to preserve Ckunsa for future generations. “We’re trying to leave something behind for our children,” says teacher Ilia Reyes Aymani. She believes that with persistence, Ckunsa can grow as a language, and the community’s heritage will live on. Through the efforts of people like Vilea and Reyes Aymani, Ckunsa is making a slow but steady comeback. “It’s wonderful to see how people are taking it up,” Reyes Aymani says. “The more we spread the words, the more the language grows.”
8. Why do sellers in San Pedro de Atacama speak different languages to visitors?
A. To seek business opportunities. B. To show friendliness to tourists.
C. To improve their language skills. D. To promote the fame of the town.
9. What effort has been made to preserve Ckunsa?
A. Replacing Spanish with Ckunsa in schools.
B. Integrating Ckunsa learning into education.
C. Establishing public schools to teach Ckunsa.
D. Listing Ckunsa as the nation’s cultural heritage.
10. What’s the purpose of recovering old terms from ancient songs and texts?
A. To attract foreign visitors.
B. To enlarge Spanish vocabulary.
C. To restore the lost cultural heritage.
D. To simplify language learning for kids.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Losing Heritage is Losing Our Identity.
B. A Desert’s Lost Tongue finds Its Voice.
C. Saving Calama: The Return of a Race.
D. Exploring Ckunsa: A Window into Atacama.

What is your ideal garden? Perhaps you’re thinking of beautiful flowers, inviting paths and insects eating the plants. While it sounds odd, insects are integral to holistic gardening, a gardening method that uses native plants to better our local ecosystems.
“As we think about garden design, we often start with the color palette, the amount of sunlight and the soil conditions,” says Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture at Green Bay Botanical Gardens. “The holistic approach takes those concepts and adds another layer to provide value for insects and other parts of the ecosystem.” This begins with choosing plants that have evolved in your local conditions.
“With natives, you’re able to reduce the amount of upkeep and have plants that stand extreme conditions, like drought or wet soils,” he explains. “Once those plants are established, you don’t have to water them, fertilize them or use pesticides.” Looking at the big picture, those benefits overflow into the environment. An example is plants that like wet soil; they can be added to a rain garden to filter (过滤) the groundwater and reduce runoff. And when you don’t use pesticides in the garden, you can focus on letting insects grow.
Of course, tolerating all kinds of insects takes some effort. “We’re used to avoiding insect damage in our gardens, so it takes a bit of retraining our minds to help us see the value of letting those insects eat the plants,” Mark says. Chewing insects serve as prey for other members of the ecosystem, such as birds, and in many species, those that survive the larval stage develop into pollinators (授粉者) that we like to see. As pollinators continue losing habitat, it becomes more vital to assist them, as they’re responsible for one-third of our food supply.
12. What is an advantage of holistic gardening?
A. It can make plants more inviting. B. It can enhance local ecosystems.
C. It can popularize gardening. D. It can control the reproduction of insects.
13. What does the underlined word “upkeep” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Design. B. Improvement. C. Decoration. D. Maintenance.
14. What do we know about native plants from the text?
A. They are beneficial to the environment.
B. They are sensitive to various pesticides.
C. They can help to filter the drinking water.
D. They need more light compared to foreign plants.
15. What message does the last paragraph mainly convey?
A. Birds are responsible for our food supply.
B. Pollinators face threats of losing their habitats.
C. People should avoid insect damage in gardens.
D. Insects play an important role in the food chain.

Sarah had always dreamed of becoming a wildlife photographer. Every weekend, she would walk into the nearby forest, hoping to capture precious moments of animals in their natural habitat. However, after months of trying, she still hadn’t gotten that perfect shot she was looking for. Deer always ran away at the slightest sound, birds flew off before she could focus her lens(镜头), and her camera bag stayed full of empty memory cards. Frustration began to creep in, but Sarah refused to give up. She loved the forest, the fresh air, and the sense of peace it brought her, even if the animals didn’t always cooperate.
One chilly autumn morning, Sarah noticed something unusual—a young fox standing still near the edge of the forest. Her heart raced with excitement. “This could be my chance!” she thought, quickly pulling out her camera. She adjusted the lens and began to move closer, careful not to make any sudden movements. The fox didn’t run away; it just stood there, its gaze fixed on her. Sarah’s fingers trembled as she framed the shot, imagining the stunning image she could capture—the fox’s brilliant red coat against the golden autumn landscape.
As she peered through the viewfinder, she noticed something strange. The fox’s front paw was raised slightly, and its body seemed tense. She zoomed in and gasped—the paw was injured, possibly caught in a trap. The fox’s stillness wasn’t an opportunity for a perfect shot; it was a sign of pain and fear. Sarah’s excitement turned to concern in an instant. Her heart tightened as she looked into the animal’s eyes, seeing the silent plea(恳求)for help. Her photographer’s instinct urged her to take the shot—it would be powerful, emotional, and perfect.
But a stronger voice inside her whispered that some moments weren’t meant to be captured; they were meant to be acted upon. With trembling hands, she lowered her camera and reached for her phone instead to call the local wildlife rescue team.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine.

Reducing Negative Online Speech
As revealed in the report from UNESCO’s “Digital Citizenship Education” project, negative online speech such as hate speech, cyberbullying and misinformation is widespread among teenagers, which poses harm to individuals as well as overall online environment.
To address this issue, we should foster self-discipline and carefully consider our words before posting. In addition, it’s essential to respect diverse opinions and avoid offensive language. Eventually, we’re supposed to confirm information before critically evaluate sources, ensuring what we post online is accurate and trustworthy.
Only through such joint efforts can we build a more respectful, secure, and inclusive communication space for all Internet users.

【47题答案】
【答案】 Moments later, some rescue workers arrived with equipment and medicine. After quickly assessing the situation, they approached the fox cautiously, bent down and talked softly to calm the frightened animal. Then the fox’s paw was carefully released from the trap. No sooner had they applied medicine to the wound than the fox showed signs of relief. Sarah, watching the rescue unfold before her eyes, realized this was far more precious than any photograph she could have taken. Right then, Sarah decided to join the rescue team as a volunteer.
Being a volunteer for the rescue team, Sarah never forgot her dream. Profoundly moved by the fox incident, she committed herself to combining her passion for photography with her newfound mission. Whenever she went into the forest with her camera, she kept an eye out for any animals in need. Her photos evolved to tell deeper stories — carrying both beauty and conservation. Little did she know that her decision to help that fox would transform her photography and her entire perspective on the relationship between humans and nature.
