He stayed there all day. Qiaopi are letters and money sent home by overseas Chinese in the past. They traveled across the sea, carrying messages and news from far away to their families in China. Lan read every letter on show. Then he bought many books to study them. “The more I read, the more I loved these stories,” he said. What touched him most was the warm feelings behind the paper. They show deep love for family and country, and the strong spirit of overseas Chinese in the past. “I knew I must tell these stories,” Lan said. Now the stories are on the big screen. Dear You is a low-cost film made in Chaoshan, Guangdong. It has become very popular across China. The film is about qiaopi and tells a warm story of family love across the sea. In the past, many people from coastal places left home to work in Southeast Asia. They sent qiaopi to tell family news and send money back home. These letters kept families close even over thousands of miles. With the help of the film, qiaopi gets wide attention again. Young people learn about this great cultural treasure through films, shows and online activities. In 2013, qiaopi was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register (世界记忆遗产名录). Today, museums in South China collect and protect these old letters. They help people know about the strong tie between overseas Chinese and their motherland. 19. What is the passage mainly about? A.

C 22. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了潮汕地区一部关于“侨批”的低成本热门电影《Dear You》以及其中蕴含的“侨批”文化和历史，展现了过去海外华侨对家国的深厚情感。 【19题详解】 文章开头讲述了导演蓝鸿春受“侨批”启发并决定将其拍成电影的过程，随后具体介绍了这部热门电影《Dear You》以及“侨批”的定义、历史背景和它作为世界记忆遗产的现代保护情况。因此，整篇文章主要围绕一部热门电影和“侨批”文化展开，高度概括了文章的中心思想。 【20题详解】 根据第二段中“Qiaopi are letters and money sent home by overseas Chinese in the past.”可知，“侨批”是指过去海外华侨寄往家乡的信件和汇款。 【21题详解】 根据第三、四段中“…the more I loved these stories…What touched him most was the warm feelings behind the paper…‘I knew I must tell these stories,’ Lan said.”可知，导演蓝鸿春想要制作这部电影，是因为他被这些“侨批”故事以及纸张背后流露出的温暖家国情怀所深深打动。 【22题详解】 根据倒数第二段中“Young people learn about this great cultural treasure through films…”以及最后一段中“In 2013, qiaopi was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register.”可知，“侨批”已被列入联合国教科文组织世界记忆名录，是一种非常珍贵的文化财富。 C Imagine this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to scream! This thing would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed. Scientists in Israel did the study. They used ultrasonic (超声波) microphones to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour, while the third group only made a sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” scientists from the study team reported. The researchers don’t know how the sounds are made, but they believe the noise comes from the breaking of air bubbles (气泡) in the plants. Scientists also believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on it. When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which to eat. After the experiment, the researchers listened to other plants such as wheat, corn and trees and found they also made more sounds when stressed. Researchers said the study can help farmers in the future, as they can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel. 23. Why did scientists do the study on tomato plants? A. To help plants grow faster. B. To find out why tomatoes taste good. C. To teach farmers how to grow tomatoes. D. To test if plants make sounds when they’re stressed. 24. Which group of tomato plants made the most sounds every hour? A. The group with stems cut off. B. The group untouched. C. The group with enough water. D. The group kept in quiet boxes. 25. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Animals and insects. B. Air bubbles. C. Scientists. D. Plants. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Only tomato plants can make sounds. B. Plants can scream loudly like humans. C. The study may be useful for farmers in the future. D. Scientists have known clearly how the sounds are made. 【答案】23. D 24. A 25. A 26. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了植物在受到压力时会发出声音，这项研究未来可能帮助农民通过“听”植物的声音来更好地照顾作物。 【23题详解】 第一段“But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed.”和第二段“Scientists in Israel did the...of tomato plants in boxes.”表明，研究目的是验证植物在压力下是否会发出声音。 【24题详解】 根据第三段“The first two groups made sounds...only made a sound once every hour.”和图片中“Group 2: Stems were cut off”表明，植物的茎被切断时受到了压力，发声次数最多。 【25题详解】 第四段中“Scientists also believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds.”的“animals and insects”属于名词复数，下文中的them为人称代词复数形式，指代前面的animals and insects。 【26题详解】 最后一段“Researchers said the study can help farmers in the future, as they can better take care of the crops by ‘hearing’ how plants feel.”表明，这项研究在未来可以帮助农民，因为他们可以通过“听”植物的感受来更好地照料作物。 D Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop. One customer made her very curious. He was a middle-aged man with glasses, who always wore old clothes, but clean. He came twice a week, and each time, he only bought two loaves (条) of hard bread. He never looked at her delicious pies or fresh cakes. Miss Martha decided he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him. The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual. Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table. “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.” He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines. “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” —Adapted from Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry 27. What does the first paragraph introduce? A. The meaning of the story. B. The ending of the story. C. The background of the story. D. The surprise of the story. 28. Why did Miss Martha put butter in the man’s bread? A. To help the man in secret. B. To show her love for the man. C. To improve the man’s work. D. To make the bread look better. 29. What’s the correct time order of the following events? ①The man went to the shop angrily. ②Miss Martha was curious about the man. ③The man began to work on a building plan. ④The man tried to erase lines with the bread that had butter inside. A. ②④①③ B. ③②④① C. ③④②① D. ②③④① 30. What might Miss Martha realize in the end? A. Good actions need real understanding first. B. People had better try to make perfect plans. C. You should avoid offering help to strangers. D. It’s impolite to ask about other people’s lives. 【答案】27. C 28. A 29. B 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文改编自欧·亨利的《女巫的面包》，讲述了面包店店主玛莎出于善意，误以为一位常客是贫困的艺术家，于是在他常买的硬面包里偷偷加入黄油，结果却破坏了他用面包当橡皮擦的设计图纸，导致对方愤怒指责的故事。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop.”可知，该段主要介绍了玛莎的基本情况和故事背景。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him.”以及第四段描述她偷偷放黄油的情节可知，她是为了暗中帮助这个她以为的“穷艺术家”。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“One customer made her very curious.”以及“For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan.”可知三个月前这个人开始做建筑计划，他在面包店做计划时店主对他很好奇，误以为一位常客是贫困的艺术家，所以③排第一位，②排第二位；根据“I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers.”“You filled my bread with butter!”以及“Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger.”可知男人用涂了黄油的面包擦线条，导致工作受损，所以他怒气冲冲地来到商店，所以正确顺序是③②④①。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，面包店店主玛莎出于善意，误以为一位常客是贫困的艺术家，于是在他常买的硬面包里偷偷加入黄油，结果却破坏了他用面包当橡皮擦的设计图纸，可推知玛莎最终会意识到：善意行动前应先真正理解对方的需要，否则可能适得其反。故选A。 第二节：（一） Amy: Hey, Mom!

People gather around the pot, chatting, eating, drinking and having fun. ____37____ Eating the hot pot can warm the body and improve circulation (血液循环) in winter, but can increase perspiration (出汗) to help cool the body in summer. ____38____ Two of the most popular hot pots are Sichuan hot pot and Beijing mutton hot pot.

Among different AI tools, Doubao, Kimi, and DeepSeek are quite popular among students. Let’s take a look at how they are different. Doubao is known for its excellent language-learning assistance (辅助). It can explain grammar points clearly, just like a patient English teacher. For example, when you can’t understand the usage of the present perfect tense clearly, Doubao can provide many examples and easy-to-understand explanations. It also helps with checking grammar mistakes and giving suggestions to make your writing better. Kimi, on the other hand, pays more attention to creative inspiration. If you are writing a story or a poem for English homework, Kimi can offer interesting ideas and plots. It can analyze (分析) the theme of your work and offer creative elements (元素), which is very useful for students who want to make their writing excellent. DeepSeek is powerful in knowledge - based learning. It has a large number of information in different fields. When you are working on a history-project or a science report in English, DeepSeek can quickly provide you with supported information and facts. It can also make the information that is hard to understand easier for you to understand and use in your study. 16. Which tool would be most helpful for a student writing a poem? A. Doubao B. Kimi C.

A. A science fiction novel B. A medical book C. A sports magazine D. An educational technology blog B Near the end of 2022, when looking for ideas for his third film, director Lan Hongchun visited a museum about qiaopi (侨批) in South China. He stayed there all day. Qiaopi are letters and money sent home by overseas Chinese in the past. They traveled across the sea, carrying messages and news from far away to their families in China. Lan read every letter on show. Then he bought many books to study them. “The more I read, the more I loved these stories,” he said. What touched him most was the warm feelings behind the paper. They show deep love for family and country, and the strong spirit of overseas Chinese in the past. “I knew I must tell these stories,” Lan said. Now the stories are on the big screen. Dear You is a low-cost film made in Chaoshan, Guangdong. It has become very popular across China. The film is about qiaopi and tells a warm story of family love across the sea. In the past, many people from coastal places left home to work in Southeast Asia. They sent qiaopi to tell family news and send money back home. These letters kept families close even over thousands of miles. With the help of the film, qiaopi gets wide attention again. Young people learn about this great cultural treasure through films, shows and online activities. In 2013, qiaopi was added to the UNESCO Memory of the World Register (世界记忆遗产名录). Today, museums in South China collect and protect these old letters. They help people know about the strong tie between overseas Chinese and their motherland. 19. What is the passage mainly about? A. A museum in South China. B. A popular film and qiaopi culture. C. How to write letters in English. D. Life in Southeast Asia. 20. What are qiaopi according to the passage? A. Only photos of families.

Qiaopi is a kind of valuable cultural treasure. B. Young people know nothing about qiaopi. C. All old letters should be thrown away. D. The film is expensive but not popular. C Imagine this: you sit down and begin to eat a tomato. Suddenly, the tomato starts to scream! This thing would never really happen. But a new study showed that plants make sounds when they are stressed. Scientists in Israel did the study. They used ultrasonic (超声波) microphones to record the sounds of tomato plants in boxes. The first two groups made sounds 30 to 50 times every hour, while the third group only made a sound once every hour. “When tomatoes are not stressed at all, they are very quiet,” scientists from the study team reported. The researchers don’t know how the sounds are made, but they believe the noise comes from the breaking of air bubbles (气泡) in the plants. Scientists also believe that animals and insects may listen to the sounds. For example, the sound can tell them that the plant is stressed and not good for laying eggs on it. When an animal wants to eat plants, it can also use sound to choose which to eat. After the experiment, the researchers listened to other plants such as wheat, corn and trees and found they also made more sounds when stressed. Researchers said the study can help farmers in the future, as they can better take care of the crops by “hearing” how plants feel. 23. Why did scientists do the study on tomato plants? A. To help plants grow faster. B. To find out why tomatoes taste good. C. To teach farmers how to grow tomatoes. D. To test if plants make sounds when they’re stressed. 24. Which group of tomato plants made the most sounds every hour? A. The group with stems cut off. B. The group untouched. C. The group with enough water. D. The group kept in quiet boxes. 25. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Animals and insects. B. Air bubbles. C. Scientists. D. Plants. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. Only tomato plants can make sounds. B. Plants can scream loudly like humans. C. The study may be useful for farmers in the future. D. Scientists have known clearly how the sounds are made. D Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop. One customer made her very curious. He was a middle-aged man with glasses, who always wore old clothes, but clean. He came twice a week, and each time, he only bought two loaves (条) of hard bread. He never looked at her delicious pies or fresh cakes. Miss Martha decided he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him. The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped them up as usual. Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table. “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.” He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines. “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” —Adapted from Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry 27.
