In a world dominated by screens and digital communication, many of us have forgotten the joy of face-to-face conversations. We send messages instead of talking, and we like posts instead of ____16____ people. That winter, I was twenty-five and feeling very lonely. “You look sad,” my grandmother said. “What?” I said, looking up from my phone. “Put that thing down and come with me,” she said. I hesitated. And then I did. That small decision changed my life ____17____. When you put down your phone and really look at someone, it means that someone has ____18____ you. It shows that someone thinks you are more important than any notification. That day, my grandmother took me to a community center. We were filled with warmth, ____19____ stories with people we had never met before. We drank tea and ate homemade cookies. We hadn’t ____20____ noticed that three hours had passed. My grandmother looked over at me with sudden ____21____, and said, “This is what life is really about. Don’t you forget that.” I never did. I am thirty-five now. I still use my phone, but I make sure to have real conversations every day. ____22____ a few weeks ago, I started a “no phones” dinner party with my friends. There was no one to say, “Look at this!” while holding up a screen. I grabbed some snacks and sat down. I saw someone who looked like my grandmother. I knew she wasn’t my grandmother. I ____23____ myself that my grandmother had passed away two years ago. When it was time to leave, I gave the hostess everything I had brought, a box of homemade cookies, and I told her to ____24____ the tradition alive. I walked home in the moonlight.

D 20. C 21. B 22. A 23. D 24. B 25. A 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述作者曾因沉迷手机而孤独，祖母带其参加社区活动，使其重拾面对面交流的快乐，并将此传统传承下去。 【16题详解】 句意：我们点赞帖子而不是见人。 根据前文“face-to-face conversations”可知，此处指面对面的见面交流，而非数字互动，meeting“见面”，符合语境。visiting“拜访”；calling“打电话”；texting“发短信”，其中visiting太具体，calling和texting仍属电子通讯，均不符合语境。 【17题详解】 句意：那个小决定永远改变了我的人生。 根据下文作者生活方式的彻底转变，此处强调影响的持久性，forever“永远”，符合语境。everywhere“到处”；anywhere“任何地方”；somewhere“某处”，均不符合语境。 【18题详解】 句意：意味着有人想到了你。 放下手机看着对方，表示重视对方，即心里想到了对方，thought of“想到”，符合语境。complained about“抱怨”；paid for“支付”；laughed at“嘲笑”，均为负面或无关动作，不符合温情语境。 【19题详解】 句意：与陌生人分享故事。 根据“stories with people”可知，在社区中心是与人分享故事，sharing“分享”，符合语境。screaming out“喊出”；working out“锻炼”；finding out“发现”，均与故事搭配不当或语意不通。 【20题详解】 句意：我们甚至没注意到过了三小时。 此处强调时间过得快，完全没意识到，hadn’t even noticed为常用搭配，even“甚至”，符合语境。only“仅仅”；just“刚刚”；never“从不”，均无法体现这种惊讶的语气。 【21题详解】 句意：祖母带着突然的喜悦看着我。 根据前文“filled with warmth”及祖母看到作者融入生活的欣慰，喜悦最符合氛围，joy“喜悦”，符合语境。worry“担心”；pride“骄傲”；calm“冷静”，worry和calm情感色彩不符，pride不如joy贴合当下氛围。 【22题详解】 句意：并且几周前，我举办了无手机晚宴。 前后句为顺承关系，进一步举例说明作者现在的做法，and“而且”，符合逻辑。but“但是”；so“所以”；or“或者”，均逻辑关系不符。 【23题详解】 句意：我提醒自己祖母已去世。 看到相似的人，理智告诉自己事实，即提醒自己，reminded“提醒”，符合逻辑。doubted“怀疑”；proved“证明”；promised“承诺”，均不符合心理活动逻辑。 【24题详解】 句意：告诉她要使传统保持下去。 根据空格后的alive，结合keep后可接形容词作表语，表示“使……”且keep...alive为常用搭配，意为“使……保持活力”，keep“保持”，符合题意。check“检查”；take“带走”；return“返回”，均不符合题意。 【25题详解】 句意：我配得上这份联结。 最后一句是全文主题的升华——在屏幕时代，真正值得追求且每个人都配得上的是真实的人与人之间的联结，connection“连接”，符合语境。technology“科技”；happiness“幸福”；sadness“悲伤”，均不如connection贴合主题。 三、阅读理解(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) 请认真阅读下列材料,从材料后各题给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Task III Decide if lab-grown meat should be sold in supermarkets. The big debate Should lab-grown meat be sold in supermarkets? When you hear the word “meat”, you might think of cows, pigs, and chickens—not cells grown in a laboratory. But according to the US Food and Drug Administration, lab-grown meat is safe to eat because it is made from the same cells as animal meat. However, many food experts and consumers have concerns. What do you think? Should lab-grown meat be sold in supermarkets? YES 1. Lab-grown meat is much better for the environment. It uses 90% less water and produces 90% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional meat production. 2. It is more humane because no animals are killed to make it. 3. It can help solve the world's food shortage problem as the global population continues to grow. NO 1. Lab-grown meat is very expensive to produce, and it will be years before it is affordable for most people. 2. We don’t know the long-term health effects of eating lab-grown meat. 3. It could put millions of farmers out of work and destroy traditional farming communities. What do you think? Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue, visit kids.theweekjunior.com/polls so you can vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think lab-grown meat should be sold in supermarkets or NO if you don’t. We'll publish the results next week. 26. Why does the “YES” side think lab-grown meat is better for the environment? A. It is cheaper to produce. B. It uses less water and produces fewer greenhouse gases. C. It is more nutritious. D. It tastes better than traditional meat. 27. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a concern of the ‘NO’ side about lab-grown meat? A. It is not safe to eat. B. It will be too expensive for most people. C. We don’t know the long-term health effects. D. All of the above. 28. Which part of a website is the passage probably taken from? A. Sports. B. Fashion. C. Science. D. Travel. 【答案】26. B 27. A 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了实验室培育肉能否在超市售卖的问题，列举了支持和反对的理由，并邀请读者投票表明态度。 【26题详解】 题目询问“YES”方认为实验室培育肉对环境更好的原因。根据文中“Lab-grown meat is much better for the environment. It uses 90% less water and produces 90% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional meat production.”可知，原因是它比传统肉类生产少用90%的水，并减少90%的温室气体排放。B项符合题意。 【27题详解】 原文“Lab-grown meat is very expensive to produce, and it will be years before it is affordable for most people.”表示，价格太贵；“We don’t know the long-term health effects of eating lab-grown meat.”表示，长期健康影响未知；“It could put millions of farmers out of work and destroy traditional farming communities.”表示，冲击农民就业。没有提到“食用不安全”。 【28题详解】 通读全文可知，文章讨论了实验室培育肉类的安全性、细胞技术、环境影响及生产成本等问题，涉及生物技术和食品科学领域，因此最可能出自网站的“科学（Science）”板块。 Task IV Witness teenagers making a difference. B Students at a school in Shanghai, with the help of their science teacher, created a community garden that grows vegetables using recycled water. In just a few months, the garden has become a symbol of environmental action and has inspired other schools in the city to start similar projects. The garden uses a special system that collects rainwater and recycles water from the school’s bathrooms. This water is then used to water the vegetables. “We wanted to show that even small actions can make a big difference,” said 15-year-old Li Mei, who led the project. “We also wanted to teach people about the importance of saving water.” Ms. Wang, who teaches science at the school, thought her students just might have the creativity needed to solve real-world problems. “To see young people taking action on environmental issues is really inspiring,” she says. Ms. Wang, along with environmental scientist Dr. Zhang, worked with students on a project they called “Green Roots”. The project had two parts—one was the community garden, and the other was creating educational posters about water conservation. The two adults worked with students from seventh to ninth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What can you do to help protect the environment?” Students working on the garden designed the water recycling system themselves. When they were ready, they built the garden with the help of volunteers from the community. Later, they started giving tours of the garden to teach other students and local residents about water conservation. The garden now grows over 20 different kinds of vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. The students donate most of the vegetables to a local food bank that helps poor families. Other students took part in making educational posters, which were hung up around the school and the community. Many posters had tips on how to save water at home, such as taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. 29. Why did the students create the community garden? A. To make money for their school. B. To teach people about the importance of saving water. C. To practice their gardening skills. D. To get good grades in science class. 30. What can we know about the project from the passage? A. It included a community garden and educational posters. B. It asked students to give away all their vegetables to the food bank. C. It was named "Green Roots" by environmental scientist Dr. Zhang. D. It was only for students who were good at science. 31. Which words best describe Ms. Wang and her students? A. Creative and responsible. B. Organized and curious. C. Honest and hard-working. D. Humorous and generous. 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇短文讲述了上海一所学校的学生在老师帮助下，通过“Green Roots”项目打造了利用回收水灌溉的社区菜园，并制作节水海报，既践行环保、帮助他人，也带动了更多学校和社区参与环保行动。 【29题详解】 根据文章第二段中Li Mei所说的话“We also wanted to teach people about the importance of saving water.”可知，学生创建社区花园的目的是为了宣传节约用水的重要性。 【30题详解】 根据文章第四段第二句“The project had two parts—one was the community garden, and the other was creating educational posters about water conservation.”可知，项目包含社区花园和教育海报。B项错在“all”，文中第六段说的是“most”；C项文中未明确说是Dr. Zhang命名的；D项文中未提及只针对科学好的学生。 【31题详解】 根据文章第三段提到Ms. Wang认为学生有“creativity”，且学生自己设计了水循环系统体现了创造性；同时他们通过花园行动环保、捐赠蔬菜给贫困家庭体现了社会“responsibility”。因此“Creative and responsible”最能形容他们。 Task V Experience the power of forgiveness. C Sarah was sitting at her desk, staring at the computer screen. Some of the girls were whispering in the corner, and others were laughing loudly. Their teacher had gone out. And when she returned there was a girl with her. The girl was new. She looked so nervous and her clothes were plain and simple. The teacher introduced her to the class, the girl’s name was “Emily”. She went and sat at a nearby seat next to Sarah. After class, Sarah and her friends were chatting together. They heard the new girl saying that she had just moved to the city from a small town and she was really looking forward to making new friends. This caught the attention of Sarah and her friends. So they called out to her “hey new girl, where did you get those clothes?”. Another called out “did you buy them at a second-hand store? Do you have enough money to buy lunch?”, “poor thing!”. Sarah and her friends burst out laughing. Emily felt embarrassed and she went away. The next day the same thing happened, they were laughing at her. During the evening, Sarah was walking home from school. She saw Emily was helping an old man carry his groceries up the stairs to his apartment. The old man was having difficulty walking. Emily tried to take as many bags as she could, but as she was about to reach the top, a tall man came running down the stairs and knocked her over. All the groceries fell on the floor. The man didn't even stop to apologize. Emily was trying to pick up the groceries, but she was crying. Then suddenly Sarah ran over to help her. Sarah picked up the groceries and helped Emily carry them up to the old man's apartment. The old man was so grateful and he thanked them both. Emily looked at Sarah in surprise. 32. How did Sarah and her friends treat Emily at first? A. They introduced her to their head teacher. B. They laughed at her clothes and small town background. C. They invited her to have lunch together. D. They helped her carry her books to class. 33. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Emily was introduced to the class as a new student. b. Sarah was staring at the computer screen at her desk. c. Sarah helped Emily pick up the groceries and carry them upstairs. d. Sarah saw Emily helping an old man carry his groceries. A. b-c-a-d B. b-a-d-c C. c-a-b-d D. c-b-a-d 34. What did Sarah and Emily have in common? A. They both came from small towns. B. They both liked to laugh at others. C. They both were kind and helpful. D. They both were good at school. 35. What might happen next? A. Sarah would go on laughing at Emily. B. The tall man would come back to apologize. C. Sarah and Emily would become friends. D. Emily would leave the school at once. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇短文讲述了Sarah起初和朋友们一起嘲笑新同学Emily，后来目睹Emily热心帮助老人的善举后深受触动，主动上前帮忙，展现了从欺凌到理解、从冷漠到善意的转变。 【32题详解】 根据文章第二段内容，Sarah和她的朋友们嘲笑Emily的衣服“where did you get those clothes?”以及询问是否来自二手店，并提及她来自小镇“moved to the city from a small town”，因此她们起初是嘲笑她的衣服和小镇背景。 【33题详解】 梳理故事发展顺序：首先文章开头提到Sarah盯着电脑屏幕（b）；接着老师介绍新同学Emily给全班（a）；然后傍晚Sarah看见Emily帮老人搬东西（d）；最后Sarah跑过去帮Emily捡东西并送上楼（c）。正确顺序为 b-a-d-c。 【34题详解】 Emily主动帮助行动不便的老人体现了善良和乐于助人；故事结尾Sarah也主动帮助摔倒的Emily捡东西，展现了她善良的一面。虽然Sarah起初不友好，但最终两人都表现出了“kindness and helpfulness”，这是她们的共同点。 【35题详解】 根据故事结尾，Sarah主动帮助了Emily，Emily感到惊讶，且之前的嘲笑行为停止。按照此类故事的发展逻辑，两人化解矛盾后很可能会成为朋友。 Task VI Explore the future of electric vehicles. D Electric vehicles are everywhere. According to the International Energy Agency, sales of electric cars reached 10 million in 2025, accounting for 18% of all new car sales worldwide. There are electric cars on the streets of every major city, and electric buses and trucks are becoming more common too. Now electric vehicles have reached another milestone: they are now cheaper to own than gasoline cars in most countries. According to a study published in the journal Nature Energy, the total cost of owning an electric car—including purchase price, fuel, and maintenance—is now lower than that of a gasoline car in the United States, Europe, and China. Julia Martinez is an energy economist at the University of California, Berkeley. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, the day when electric cars become cheaper than gasoline cars is a turning point in history,” she said. “It means that the transition to clean transportation is no longer just an environmental issue—it’s also an economic one.” Martinez defines the transition we’re in now as the period in which renewable energy and electric vehicles will replace fossil fuels and gasoline cars. Electric vehicles becoming cheaper than gasoline cars is one example of that transition. Why are electric cars getting cheaper? Electric cars are getting cheaper because of advances in battery technology. The cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by 89% since 2010, and it is expected to fall even further in the coming years. This has made electric cars much more affordable for consumers. But according to Martinez’s study, there are still some challenges to overcome. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of charging infrastructure. Many people still don’t have access to a charging station at home, and there aren’t enough public charging stations in many areas. Another challenge is the time it takes to charge an electric car. Even with fast chargers, it still takes about 30 minutes to charge a car to 80% capacity. Martinez said that she and her team first learned about the falling cost of electric cars when they analyzed data from car manufacturers and government agencies. They decided to learn more by doing research on the total cost of ownership of electric cars versus gasoline cars. For their study, the researchers collected data from 15 different countries over a 10-year period. What does it mean for the future? Scientists believe that the falling cost of electric cars will lead to a rapid increase in their adoption. By 2030, electric cars are expected to account for 50% of all new car sales worldwide. This will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. But it isn’t all good news. The increased demand for electric cars will lead to an increased demand for lithium and other minerals used in batteries. This could have environmental impacts of its own. “It’s really a complex issue,” Martinez said. “We need to make sure that the transition to electric vehicles is done in a sustainable way.” 36. What does Martinez mean by saying “the day when electric cars become cheaper than gasoline cars is a turning point in history”? A. Electric cars will be more popular than gasoline cars. B. The transition to clean transportation is now economically viable. C. Gasoline cars will no longer be produced. D. Electric cars are better for the environment. 37. How did Martinez and her team do their research on electric cars? A. By collecting and analyzing data from car manufacturers and government agencies. B. By taking lots of photos of electric cars in different countries. C. By interviewing people who own electric cars. D. By reading books about the history of electric cars. 38. What does the underlined word “adoption” most probably mean? A. Acceptance and use. B. Rejection. C. Production. D. Sale. 39. What can we learn from Martinez’s words in the last paragraph? A. She plans to stop buying electric cars. B. She thinks electric cars are bad for the environment. C. She is sure that electric cars will solve all our environmental problems. D. She believes the transition to electric vehicles needs to be done sustainably. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Electric Vehicles Are Bad for the Environment B. Electric Cars Are Now Cheaper Than Gasoline Cars C. The Future of Transportation Is Electric D. Scientists Study the Cost of Electric Cars 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了电动汽车价格下降的现状、原因、面临的挑战，以及其对未来交通和环境的影响。 【36题详解】 第三段提到“it means that the transition to clean transportation is no longer just an environmental issue—it’s also an economic one”，说明当电动汽车比汽油车便宜时，清洁交通的转型在经济上也变得可行。 【37题详解】 第八段提到“they analyzed data from car manufacturers and government agencies. They decided to learn more by doing research on the total cost of ownership of electric cars versus gasoline cars. For their study, the researchers collected data from 15 different countries over a 10-year period”，说明Martinez和她的团队通过收集并分析汽车制造商和政府机构的数据来进行研究。 【38题详解】 第十段提到“Scientists believe that the falling cost of electric cars will lead to a rapid increase in their adoption. By 2030, electric cars are expected to account for 50% of all new car sales worldwide”，结合上下文，“adoption”指的是人们对电动汽车的“接受和使用”。 【39题详解】 最后一段提到“We need to make sure that the transition to electric vehicles is done in a sustainable way”，说明Martinez认为向电动汽车的转型需要以可持续的方式进行。 【40题详解】 文章核心围绕Electric Cars Are Now Cheaper Than Gasoline Cars“电动汽车现在比汽油车更便宜”这一关键变化展开，介绍了这一变化的原因、影响及挑战，是全文的核心主题。 非选择题(共50分) 四、填空(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分) VII Let's step into the exciting world of the 2026 Paris Olympics!

A wolf hunts a deer! A cat chases a mouse! Is all human-animal interaction like that? All about hunting and fear? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some relationships between humans and animals that are based on cooperation instead of conflict. When humans first domesticated animals thousands of years ago, it was for practical reasons. Dogs were used for hunting and protection, cows for milk and meat, and horses for transportation. This is called “domestication”—when humans tame wild animals and breed them for specific purposes. Now let’s get a little nicer. Sometimes animals help humans without being domesticated. They do not ask for anything in return. They do not expect rewards. This is called “altruism”—when one living thing helps another without expecting anything in return. Have you heard stories about dolphins saving drowning people? Or about dogs alerting their owners to fires or other dangers? These are examples of animal altruism. Now let’s get really nice. While some animals are still hunted and exploited, are there any relationships where both humans and animals benefit? Yes! Actually, there are many. This is called “mutualism”—when two living things work together and both get good things out of it. Service dogs are the most common example. Without humans, service dogs would not have homes or care. Without service dogs, many people with disabilities would not be able to live independently. It’s win-win for these two. There are many other examples of human-animal mutualism. Therapy animals visit hospitals and nursing homes to comfort patients. The animals get love and attention, and the patients get emotional support. In some cases, one could not live without the other. We use the word “human-animal bond” for all of these kinds of relationships. Sometimes it’s good for humans and bad for animals. Sometimes it’s just good for humans. Sometimes it’s even good for both. So, it is nice to know that there are some relationships between humans and animals that are based on love and respect. We could pay more attention to these positive relationships and work to create more of them. Human-Animal Relationships What is the Human-Animal Bond? ●All humans and animals are ____56____ with each other in some way. ●Close relationships between humans and animals are called the Human-Animal Bond. Domestication: Humans Benefit, Animals Serve ●Humans tame wild animals and breed them for ____57____ purposes. ●Animals provide humans with food, transportation, and protection. Example: Dogs & humans for hunting Altruism: Animals Help, No ____58____ Expected ●Animals help humans without being asked or rewarded. ●They do not expect anything ____59____return. Example: Dolphins saving ____60____ people Mutualism: Win-Win for Both ●It’s a win-win situation for both sides; they can even ____61____ on each other to live. ●Humans and animals ____62____ each other and both get benefits from the relationship. Examples: Service dogs & people with disabilities; Therapy animals & patients Why Does the Human-Animal Bond Matter? ●Positive human-animal relationships help create a more ____63____ and compassionate world. Your idea: Share one example from your own life experience based on human-animal relationships from the passage in at least 20 words. ____64____ 【答案】56. connected 57. practical 58. rewards 59. in 60. drowning 61. depend 62. help 63. peaceful 64. 示例: My neighbor has a guide dog that helps her go shopping and cross the street safely. The dog is her eyes and they have a very close relationship. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了人类与动物之间存在的驯化、利他主义和互利共生三种关系，并探讨了建立积极人兽关系的意义。 【56题详解】 根据原文第五段“We use the word ‘human-animal bond’ for all of these kinds of relationships.”可知，人类和动物之间存在纽带，在某种方式上是相互联系的，故填connected。 【57题详解】 根据原文第二段“… it was for practical reasons. Dogs were used for hunting and protection, cows for milk and meat, and horses for transportation. This is called “domestication”—when humans tame wild animals and breed them for specific purposes.”可知，人类驯养动物是为了实际需求，故填practical。 【58题详解】 根据原文第三段标题“Altruism: Animals Help, No…Expected”及“They do not expect rewards.”可知，动物帮助人类不期待奖励，故填rewards。 【59题详解】 根据原文第三段“They do not ask for anything in return.”可知，固定短语in return意为“作为回报”，故填in。 【60题详解】 根据原文第三段“Have you heard stories about dolphins saving drowning people?”可知，海豚会救溺水的人，故填drowning。 【61题详解】 根据原文第四段“In some cases, one could not live without the other.”可知，在互利共生关系中，双方甚至相互依赖才能生存，故填depend。 【62题详解】 根据原文第四段“...when two living things work together and both get good things out of it.”可知，人类和动物互相帮助，从关系中都能受益，故填help。 【63题详解】 根据原文最后一段“Positive human-animal relationships help create a more ___ and compassionate world.”及上下文可知，积极的人兽关系有助于创造一个更和平、更有同情心的世界，故填peaceful。 【64题详解】 主观表达题。根据文章主题（如互利、驯化等）结合个人经历作答，需满足字数要求即可。示例：My neighbor has a guide dog that helps her go shopping and cross the street safely. The dog is her eyes and they have a very close relationship. XI Let's talk with ancient China with the help of digital technology!

The big debate Should lab-grown meat be sold in supermarkets? When you hear the word “meat”, you might think of cows, pigs, and chickens—not cells grown in a laboratory. But according to the US Food and Drug Administration, lab-grown meat is safe to eat because it is made from the same cells as animal meat. However, many food experts and consumers have concerns.

It uses 90% less water and produces 90% fewer greenhouse gases than traditional meat production. 2. It is more humane because no animals are killed to make it. 3. It can help solve the world's food shortage problem as the global population continues to grow. NO 1. Lab-grown meat is very expensive to produce, and it will be years before it is affordable for most people. 2. We don’t know the long-term health effects of eating lab-grown meat. 3. It could put millions of farmers out of work and destroy traditional farming communities. What do you think? Now that you’ve read a bit more about this issue, visit kids.theweekjunior.com/polls so you can vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think lab-grown meat should be sold in supermarkets or NO if you don’t. We'll publish the results next week. 26.

B Students at a school in Shanghai, with the help of their science teacher, created a community garden that grows vegetables using recycled water. In just a few months, the garden has become a symbol of environmental action and has inspired other schools in the city to start similar projects. The garden uses a special system that collects rainwater and recycles water from the school’s bathrooms. This water is then used to water the vegetables. “We wanted to show that even small actions can make a big difference,” said 15-year-old Li Mei, who led the project. “We also wanted to teach people about the importance of saving water.” Ms. Wang, who teaches science at the school, thought her students just might have the creativity needed to solve real-world problems. “To see young people taking action on environmental issues is really inspiring,” she says. Ms. Wang, along with environmental scientist Dr. Zhang, worked with students on a project they called “Green Roots”. The project had two parts—one was the community garden, and the other was creating educational posters about water conservation. The two adults worked with students from seventh to ninth grade. They had the same basic question for all the students: “What can you do to help protect the environment?” Students working on the garden designed the water recycling system themselves. When they were ready, they built the garden with the help of volunteers from the community. Later, they started giving tours of the garden to teach other students and local residents about water conservation. The garden now grows over 20 different kinds of vegetables, including tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. The students donate most of the vegetables to a local food bank that helps poor families. Other students took part in making educational posters, which were hung up around the school and the community. Many posters had tips on how to save water at home, such as taking shorter showers and turning off the tap while brushing your teeth. 29. Why did the students create the community garden? A. To make money for their school. B. To teach people about the importance of saving water. C. To practice their gardening skills. D. To get good grades in science class. 30. What can we know about the project from the passage? A. It included a community garden and educational posters. B. It asked students to give away all their vegetables to the food bank. C. It was named "Green Roots" by environmental scientist Dr. Zhang. D. It was only for students who were good at science. 31. Which words best describe Ms. Wang and her students? A. Creative and responsible. B. Organized and curious. C. Honest and hard-working. D. Humorous and generous. Task V Experience the power of forgiveness. C Sarah was sitting at her desk, staring at the computer screen. Some of the girls were whispering in the corner, and others were laughing loudly. Their teacher had gone out. And when she returned there was a girl with her. The girl was new. She looked so nervous and her clothes were plain and simple. The teacher introduced her to the class, the girl’s name was “Emily”. She went and sat at a nearby seat next to Sarah. After class, Sarah and her friends were chatting together.

According to the International Energy Agency, sales of electric cars reached 10 million in 2025, accounting for 18% of all new car sales worldwide. There are electric cars on the streets of every major city, and electric buses and trucks are becoming more common too. Now electric vehicles have reached another milestone: they are now cheaper to own than gasoline cars in most countries. According to a study published in the journal Nature Energy, the total cost of owning an electric car—including purchase price, fuel, and maintenance—is now lower than that of a gasoline car in the United States, Europe, and China. Julia Martinez is an energy economist at the University of California, Berkeley. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, the day when electric cars become cheaper than gasoline cars is a turning point in history,” she said. “It means that the transition to clean transportation is no longer just an environmental issue—it’s also an economic one.” Martinez defines the transition we’re in now as the period in which renewable energy and electric vehicles will replace fossil fuels and gasoline cars. Electric vehicles becoming cheaper than gasoline cars is one example of that transition. Why are electric cars getting cheaper? Electric cars are getting cheaper because of advances in battery technology. The cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by 89% since 2010, and it is expected to fall even further in the coming years. This has made electric cars much more affordable for consumers. But according to Martinez’s study, there are still some challenges to overcome. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of charging infrastructure. Many people still don’t have access to a charging station at home, and there aren’t enough public charging stations in many areas. Another challenge is the time it takes to charge an electric car. Even with fast chargers, it still takes about 30 minutes to charge a car to 80% capacity. Martinez said that she and her team first learned about the falling cost of electric cars when they analyzed data from car manufacturers and government agencies. They decided to learn more by doing research on the total cost of ownership of electric cars versus gasoline cars. For their study, the researchers collected data from 15 different countries over a 10-year period. What does it mean for the future? Scientists believe that the falling cost of electric cars will lead to a rapid increase in their adoption. By 2030, electric cars are expected to account for 50% of all new car sales worldwide. This will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. But it isn’t all good news. The increased demand for electric cars will lead to an increased demand for lithium and other minerals used in batteries. This could have environmental impacts of its own. “It’s really a complex issue,” Martinez said. “We need to make sure that the transition to electric vehicles is done in a sustainable way.” 36. What does Martinez mean by saying “the day when electric cars become cheaper than gasoline cars is a turning point in history”? A. Electric cars will be more popular than gasoline cars. B. The transition to clean transportation is now economically viable. C. Gasoline cars will no longer be produced. D. Electric cars are better for the environment. 37. How did Martinez and her team do their research on electric cars? A. By collecting and analyzing data from car manufacturers and government agencies. B. By taking lots of photos of electric cars in different countries. C. By interviewing people who own electric cars. D. By reading books about the history of electric cars. 38. What does the underlined word “adoption” most probably mean? A. Acceptance and use. B. Rejection. C. Production. D. Sale. 39. What can we learn from Martinez’s words in the last paragraph? A. She plans to stop buying electric cars. B. She thinks electric cars are bad for the environment. C. She is sure that electric cars will solve all our environmental problems. D. She believes the transition to electric vehicles needs to be done sustainably. 40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Electric Vehicles Are Bad for the Environment B. Electric Cars Are Now Cheaper Than Gasoline Cars C. The Future of Transportation Is Electric D.

A wolf hunts a deer! A cat chases a mouse! Is all human-animal interaction like that? All about hunting and fear? Or is that just what keeps our eyes glued to the TV screen? Let’s look at some relationships between humans and animals that are based on cooperation instead of conflict. When humans first domesticated animals thousands of years ago, it was for practical reasons. Dogs were used for hunting and protection, cows for milk and meat, and horses for transportation. This is called “domestication”—when humans tame wild animals and breed them for specific purposes. Now let’s get a little nicer. Sometimes animals help humans without being domesticated. They do not ask for anything in return. They do not expect rewards. This is called “altruism”—when one living thing helps another without expecting anything in return. Have you heard stories about dolphins saving drowning people? Or about dogs alerting their owners to fires or other dangers? These are examples of animal altruism. Now let’s get really nice. While some animals are still hunted and exploited, are there any relationships where both humans and animals benefit? Yes! Actually, there are many. This is called “mutualism”—when two living things work together and both get good things out of it. Service dogs are the most common example. Without humans, service dogs would not have homes or care. Without service dogs, many people with disabilities would not be able to live independently. It’s win-win for these two. There are many other examples of human-animal mutualism. Therapy animals visit hospitals and nursing homes to comfort patients. The animals get love and attention, and the patients get emotional support. In some cases, one could not live without the other. We use the word “human-animal bond” for all of these kinds of relationships. Sometimes it’s good for humans and bad for animals. Sometimes it’s just good for humans. Sometimes it’s even good for both. So, it is nice to know that there are some relationships between humans and animals that are based on love and respect. We could pay more attention to these positive relationships and work to create more of them. Human-Animal Relationships What is the Human-Animal Bond? ●All humans and animals are ____56____ with each other in some way. ●Close relationships between humans and animals are called the Human-Animal Bond. Domestication: Humans Benefit, Animals Serve ●Humans tame wild animals and breed them for ____57____ purposes. ●Animals provide humans with food, transportation, and protection. Example: Dogs & humans for hunting Altruism: Animals Help, No ____58____ Expected ●Animals help humans without being asked or rewarded. ●They do not expect anything ____59____return. Example: Dolphins saving ____60____ people Mutualism: Win-Win for Both ●It’s a win-win situation for both sides; they can even ____61____ on each other to live. ●Humans and animals ____62____ each other and both get benefits from the relationship. Examples: Service dogs & people with disabilities; Therapy animals & patients Why Does the Human-Animal Bond Matter? ●Positive human-animal relationships help create a more ____63____ and compassionate world. Your idea: Share one example from your own life experience based on human-animal relationships from the passage in at least 20 words. ____64____ XI Let's talk with ancient China with the help of digital technology!
