Have you ever seen the silver line inside a mercury thermometer (水银温度计) that many families used years ago? It was a common tool at home. However, the mercury thermometer has become a thing of the past. Because a full ban (禁令) on the production of mercury thermometers has been in effect this year since January 1, 2026.
Why is mercury dangerous?
The main reason for this ban is safety. Mercury is a kind of highly toxic (有毒的) metal. It is the only metal that is liquid (液体) at room temperature. If a thermometer breaks, the mercury inside forms small, silver drops on the ground. These beads evaporate (蒸发) quickly into the air, which is very dangerous to breathe in. Even small amounts can be harmful, especially to children.
Risks of using mercury thermometers
These thermometers need to be shaken hard before use to put the mercury back down. If you shake them too hard, hit them against an object, or accidentally drop them, the glass can break easily. The mercury will leak out, which is a health risk.
Safer and better alternatives (替代物)
Now, there are many safe and good alternatives. Doctors say the most common choices now are digital thermometers and infrared (红外线的) thermometers. These include non-contact body thermometers and contact ear thermometers.
One big advantage of electronic thermometers is their speed. A mercury thermometer needs about 10 minutes to get a temperature reading, while an electronic one gives results in seconds. It is much more convenient. So, giving up using mercury thermometers is a certain trend (趋势). It is a good change for our health and the environment.
14. When did people stop producing mercury thermometers?
A. January 1, 2025 B. February 1, 2026
C. January 1, 2026 D. February 1, 2025
15. What does the underlined phrase “leak out” most probably mean?
A. flow out B. put out C. take out D. turn out
16. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Mercury is harmless to little children.
B. Electronic thermometers are much safer.
C. Shaking a mercury thermometer hard makes it safer to use.
D. Electronic thermometers need about ten minutes to get a result
17. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to use mercury thermometers correctly.
B. Why mercury thermometers are replaced.
C. The history of mercury thermometers.
D. The development of China’s laws on thermometers.

Finding a snail? Catching it? Easy—they hardly move!
To tell the truth, I wasn’t raised to be a fan of snails. Having a grandmother as a gardener, my brother and I were taught from a young age that if we see a snail on a plant, we should pick it off. But as I’ve grown older, my view on snails has changed. They bring me a different kind of happiness.
The first time I saw snails as more than just pests was in my garden. A small snail, carrying a hard round shell on its back, moved slowly toward a half-open flower bud and explored it. After a while, the bud bloomed. Watching the snail carefully touching the flower with its tentacles (触角) reminded me of the lyrics “Snails see the beauty in every inch.” At that moment, I realized it takes life slowly but seriously.
Another time, I noticed a little snail moving by. I quickly picked up the snail and placed it in my hand. Accidentally, a few drops of water dripped onto the snail. It was scared by the sudden wetness and quickly retreated into its shell. I thought it would hide inside for at least a couple of minutes, but shortly after that, the snail poked its head out again. It was not just hiding but adjusting.
It’s not just the snail’s movements that make it a symbol of peace, but also its sense of knowing when to re-enter the exciting life. Once, having difficulty with my career, I was walking outside the office on a hot summer day. On my way back, it started to rain. When the raindrops wet the soil, some little friends appeared everywhere. After waiting patiently for the rain, they energetically get going and go. It was also the right moment for me to start over.
So, what is the secret to living like snails? It’s not about being sluggish. It’s about being snailish.
18. What did the writer think of snails when she was young?
A. They were interesting treasures in the garden.
B. They were harmful to plants and should be killed.
C. They were symbols of peace and calm.
D. They were too slow to be noticed.
19. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Snails move slowly and like beautiful things.
B. Snails can see small things clearly.
C. Snails take their time to discover beauty around them.
D. Snails spend all their time looking for beauty.
20. Which is true about snails?
A. Snails prefer hot summer days. B. Snails are afraid of water and will hide for a long time.
C. Snails live a slow and boring life every day. D. Snails are able to get used to new situations.
21. How can we live a “snailish” life?
A. We must stay away from danger in our life.
B. We can do almost everything as slowly as snails do.
C. We should stay calm and know when to move forward.
D. We had better wait for others' help when in trouble.

(After arriving at her uncle Mr. Craven’s huge house, Mary Lennox felt lonely.)
At first, each day was the same for Mary. Every morning, she woke up and ate breakfast alone. She looked out at the huge moor (荒野), which seemed to stretch (伸展) in all directions. She had nothing to do and no one to play with.
But after a few days of staying outside, something began to change. One morning, she felt hungry for the first time. She ate up her porridge and even started to enjoy being outside.
One day, she walked down a long path with empty flowerbeds on both sides. Against the wall, ivy (常春藤) grew thickly. At one part of the wall, the dark green ivy leaves were thicker than those in other places.
She stopped to look up at the ivy, which was blowing in the wind. Then she saw old Ben’s robin (知更鸟) on the top of the wall. He was looking at her with his small head on one side.
“Oh!” she cried. “Is that you?” She spoke as if he would understand and answer.
And he did. He sang and jumped along the wall. Mary laughed and ran after him. “I like you!” she cried. At last, the robin flew to a tree on the other side of the wall and sang loudly.
“It’s in the garden no one can go into,” she said to herself. “It’s the garden without a door. He lives there. How I wish I could see what it is like!”
She looked closely at the wall but found no door.
That night, Mary asked Martha, “Why does Mr. Craven hate the garden?”
“It was Mrs. Craven’s garden. She loved it. But one day she fell off a tree and died. Mr. Craven was so sad that he locked the door and buried the key. No one has gone in since then,” Martha said quietly.
Mary felt sorry for him. As she sat by the fire, she heard the wind outside, then something else.
“Do you hear someone crying?” she looked confused and asked.
“No, it’s just the wind,” Martha answered.
(But Mary was not so sure…)
22. What happened to Mary after she stayed outside for a few days?
A. She began to feel lonely. B. She wanted to stay inside.
C. She started to enjoy herself. D. She became much quieter.
23. Which picture shows that the robin led Mary to the garden?
A. B. C. D.
24. Why did Mr. Craven lock the garden and bury the key?
A. Because he wanted to keep the garden a secret.
B. Because he was too sad to enter it after his wife died.
C. Because he didn’t want anyone to see the fallen tree.
D. Because he planned to build something new there.
25. How did Mary’s feelings change through the story?
A. Bored→relaxed→excited→scared.
B. Lonely→relaxed→scared→sorry.
C. Lonely→joyful→curious→confused.
D. Relaxed→bored→curious→confused.

However, the mercury thermometer has become a thing of the past. Because a full ban (禁令) on the production of mercury thermometers has been in effect this year since January 1, 2026.
Why is mercury dangerous?
The main reason for this ban is safety. Mercury is a kind of highly toxic (有毒的) metal. It is the only metal that is liquid (液体) at room temperature. If a thermometer breaks, the mercury inside forms small, silver drops on the ground. These beads evaporate (蒸发) quickly into the air, which is very dangerous to breathe in. Even small amounts can be harmful, especially to children.
Risks of using mercury thermometers
These thermometers need to be shaken hard before use to put the mercury back down. If you shake them too hard, hit them against an object, or accidentally drop them, the glass can break easily. The mercury will leak out, which is a health risk.
Safer and better alternatives (替代物)
Now, there are many safe and good alternatives. Doctors say the most common choices now are digital thermometers and infrared (红外线的) thermometers. These include non-contact body thermometers and contact ear thermometers.
One big advantage of electronic thermometers is their speed. A mercury thermometer needs about 10 minutes to get a temperature reading, while an electronic one gives results in seconds. It is much more convenient. So, giving up using mercury thermometers is a certain trend (趋势). It is a good change for our health and the environment.
14. When did people stop producing mercury thermometers?
A. January 1, 2025 B. February 1, 2026
C. January 1, 2026 D. February 1, 2025
15. What does the underlined phrase “leak out” most probably mean?
A. flow out B. put out C. take out D. turn out
16. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Mercury is harmless to little children.
B. Electronic thermometers are much safer.
C. Shaking a mercury thermometer hard makes it safer to use.
D. Electronic thermometers need about ten minutes to get a result
17. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to use mercury thermometers correctly.
B. Why mercury thermometers are replaced.
C. The history of mercury thermometers.
D. The development of China’s laws on thermometers.
【答案】14. C 15. A 16. B 17. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了全面停止生产水银体温计的相关规定,介绍了禁用生产的原因、以及安全的替代体温计,并点明此举对人体健康和环境保护的意义。
【14题详解】
根据第一段最后一句“Because a full ban on the production of mercury thermometers has been in effect this year since January 1, 2026.”可知,因为从今年1月1日起,全面禁止生产水银温度计的禁令已生效,因此停止生产的时间是2026年1月1日。
【15题详解】
根据划线词所在段落“The glass can break easily. The mercury will leak out...”可知,当温度计破碎时,里面的液态水银会流出来。flow out意为“流出”,与leak out“泄漏、流出”意思最接近,符合语境。
【16题详解】
根据文章最后两段可知,电子温度计是更安全、更好的替代品“Safer and better alternatives”,且对健康和环境有益。
【17题详解】
通读全文可知,文章首先提到水银温度计被禁止生产,接着解释了水银的危险性和使用风险,最后介绍了更安全的替代品。整篇文章主要围绕为什么要淘汰水银温度计以及被什么替代展开。故“Why mercury thermometers are replaced.”最符合文章主旨。

Finding a snail? Catching it? Easy—they hardly move!
To tell the truth, I wasn’t raised to be a fan of snails. Having a grandmother as a gardener, my brother and I were taught from a young age that if we see a snail on a plant, we should pick it off. But as I’ve grown older, my view on snails has changed. They bring me a different kind of happiness.
The first time I saw snails as more than just pests was in my garden. A small snail, carrying a hard round shell on its back, moved slowly toward a half-open flower bud and explored it. After a while, the bud bloomed. Watching the snail carefully touching the flower with its tentacles (触角) reminded me of the lyrics “Snails see the beauty in every inch.” At that moment, I realized it takes life slowly but seriously.
Another time, I noticed a little snail moving by. I quickly picked up the snail and placed it in my hand. Accidentally, a few drops of water dripped onto the snail. It was scared by the sudden wetness and quickly retreated into its shell. I thought it would hide inside for at least a couple of minutes, but shortly after that, the snail poked its head out again. It was not just hiding but adjusting.
It’s not just the snail’s movements that make it a symbol of peace, but also its sense of knowing when to re-enter the exciting life. Once, having difficulty with my career, I was walking outside the office on a hot summer day. On my way back, it started to rain. When the raindrops wet the soil, some little friends appeared everywhere. After waiting patiently for the rain, they energetically get going and go. It was also the right moment for me to start over.
So, what is the secret to living like snails? It’s not about being sluggish. It’s about being snailish.
18. What did the writer think of snails when she was young?
A. They were interesting treasures in the garden.
B. They were harmful to plants and should be killed.
C. They were symbols of peace and calm.
D. They were too slow to be noticed.
19. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Snails move slowly and like beautiful things.
B. Snails can see small things clearly.
C. Snails take their time to discover beauty around them.
D. Snails spend all their time looking for beauty.
20. Which is true about snails?
A. Snails prefer hot summer days. B. Snails are afraid of water and will hide for a long time.
C. Snails live a slow and boring life every day. D. Snails are able to get used to new situations.
21. How can we live a “snailish” life?
A. We must stay away from danger in our life.
B. We can do almost everything as slowly as snails do.
C. We should stay calm and know when to move forward.
D. We had better wait for others' help when in trouble.
【答案】18. B 19. C 20. D 21. C

(After arriving at her uncle Mr. Craven’s huge house, Mary Lennox felt lonely.)
At first, each day was the same for Mary. Every morning, she woke up and ate breakfast alone. She looked out at the huge moor (荒野), which seemed to stretch (伸展) in all directions. She had nothing to do and no one to play with.
But after a few days of staying outside, something began to change. One morning, she felt hungry for the first time. She ate up her porridge and even started to enjoy being outside.
One day, she walked down a long path with empty flowerbeds on both sides. Against the wall, ivy (常春藤) grew thickly. At one part of the wall, the dark green ivy leaves were thicker than those in other places.
She stopped to look up at the ivy, which was blowing in the wind. Then she saw old Ben’s robin (知更鸟) on the top of the wall. He was looking at her with his small head on one side.
“Oh!” she cried. “Is that you?” She spoke as if he would understand and answer.
And he did. He sang and jumped along the wall. Mary laughed and ran after him. “I like you!” she cried. At last, the robin flew to a tree on the other side of the wall and sang loudly.
“It’s in the garden no one can go into,” she said to herself. “It’s the garden without a door. He lives there. How I wish I could see what it is like!”
She looked closely at the wall but found no door.
That night, Mary asked Martha, “Why does Mr. Craven hate the garden?”
“It was Mrs. Craven’s garden. She loved it. But one day she fell off a tree and died. Mr. Craven was so sad that he locked the door and buried the key. No one has gone in since then,” Martha said quietly.
Mary felt sorry for him. As she sat by the fire, she heard the wind outside, then something else.
“Do you hear someone crying?” she looked confused and asked.
“No, it’s just the wind,” Martha answered.
(But Mary was not so sure…)
22. What happened to Mary after she stayed outside for a few days?
A. She began to feel lonely. B. She wanted to stay inside.
C. She started to enjoy herself. D. She became much quieter.
23. Which picture shows that the robin led Mary to the garden?
A. B. C. D.
24. Why did Mr. Craven lock the garden and bury the key?
A. Because he wanted to keep the garden a secret.
B. Because he was too sad to enter it after his wife died.
C. Because he didn’t want anyone to see the fallen tree.
D. Because he planned to build something new there.
25. How did Mary’s feelings change through the story?
A. Bored→relaxed→excited→scared.

The Power of Qiji
To me, “Qiji galloping, unstoppable” means never giving up, keeping going, and staying calm when facing challenges.
Last term, I struggled with my English listening and almost wanted to give up. But with the spirit of Qiji, I practiced listening for 30 minutes every day, kept taking notes of new words, and asked my teacher for help when I had problems. Slowly, my listening skills improved a lot, and I even got an A in the final exam.
This power makes me feel confident and brave. It tells me that as long as I keep moving forward step by step, nothing can stop me. I will keep this spirit and gallop towards my dreams bravely.
