A
In the dry lands of Africa, there stands a strange-looking tree called the baobab. It has a very thick trunk that can store thousands of litres of water. _1_ you cut a baobab, its trunk will grow back. This makes it nearly impossible to kill. Local people call it the "tree of life" _2_ it provides food, water, and shelter. The fruit of the baobab is rich in vitamin C. Its leaves can be eaten like vegetables. _3_ animals and humans depend on this amazing tree during dry seasons. Some baobabs are over 2,000 years old. They have seen generations of people _4_ and go. Sadly, many large baobabs have died in recent years because of climate change. Scientists are working hard _5_ ways to protect these ancient giants.

Fireflies are one of nature's most magical insects. On warm summer nights, they light up the darkness like tiny floating stars. But have you ever wondered _6_ they produce light? The secret lies in their abdomen, where a chemical reaction takes place. This special ability is called bioluminescence. Unlike a light bulb, firefly light produces almost _7_ heat. That is why it is called "cold light". Fireflies use their light to communicate. Males flash patterns to attract females. Each species has its own unique code. Some fireflies even use their light to trick _8_ species. They copy the flashes of smaller fireflies and then eat them! Scientists have studied firefly light _9_ many years. They hope to use this knowledge to create more efficient lights for humans. The next time you see a firefly, remember that you are watching one of nature's _10_ wonderful chemical factories.

C
Clouds are not just fluffy shapes in the sky. They play a key role in Earth's weather and climate. There are many different _11_ of clouds, and each type tells a story about the weather ahead. Cirrus clouds are high and wispy. They often mean that a storm is coming _12_ 24 hours. Cumulus clouds look like cotton balls. They usually mean fair weather, but if they grow tall, they can turn into thunderclouds. Stratus clouds form a grey layer that covers the whole sky. They often bring light rain or drizzle. Scientists study clouds to predict storms and understand climate change. _13_ clouds reflect sunlight back into space, they help cool the planet. However, some clouds trap heat, making the Earth warmer. Learning to read clouds is a useful skill. Next time you go outside, look up and see _14_ you can guess the weather. As one old saying goes, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky _15_ morning, sailors take warning."

二、完形填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
When I was eight years old, I found a wallet on the playground after school. I opened it and saw a lot of cash — more money than I had ever seen in my life. My first thought was, "I can buy so many toys!" I looked around. _16_ was watching. I put the wallet into my backpack and ran home.
That night, I could not sleep. I kept _17_ about the person who had lost the wallet. Was it someone's grocery money? A gift for a child? My stomach felt sick. The next morning, I told my mother everything. She did not get angry. Instead, she sat me down and said, "The right thing is sometimes the _18_ thing. But it is never wrong."
I took the wallet to the school office. The principal smiled and said a teacher had lost it the day before. Later that day, the teacher came to my classroom. She had tears in her eyes. "This money was for my daughter's medical treatment," she said. "You have saved us."
I felt a warmth in my chest that no toy could ever _19_. That day, I learned that honesty is not just about following rules. It is about understanding how our actions _20_ others. I am forty years old now, and I have never forgotten that lesson. Whenever I face a difficult choice, I ask myself: "What would make me feel _21_ at night?"
Last year, my own son found a phone at the park. He wanted to keep it. I told him the story of the wallet. He thought for a minute, then walked to the park office and turned in the phone. The owner, an old man, gave my son a reward. My son used the money to buy ice cream for his whole class. He said, "Sharing _22_ better than keeping."
I realised that honesty is like a seed. When you plant it in one person's heart, it grows and spreads to _23_. My mother planted that seed in me. I planted it in my son. And he planted it in his classmates. _24_ knows how far it will go? That is the power of a simple, honest choice. It does not just change you. It changes the world, one small act _25_ a time.
16. A. Everybody B. Somebody C. Anybody D. Nobody
17. A. thinking B. talking C. worrying D. caring
18. A. easiest B. hardest C. fastest D. safest

21. A. proud B. lonely C. peaceful D. bored
22. A. tastes B. looks C. smells D. sounds
23. A. another B. others C. the other D. other

The Big Debate
Should all zoos be closed?
Zoos have been around for hundreds of years. Some people say they protect endangered animals. Others argue they are prisons for wild creatures. What do you think?
YES — Close all zoos.
Animals in zoos live in tiny cages that are nothing like their natural habitats. Elephants walk thousands of kilometres in the wild, but in zoos they can only take a few steps. Animals become stressed and develop strange behaviours, like walking back and forth all day. Modern conservation should happen in the wild, not behind bars. Money spent on zoos should go to protecting natural habitats instead. Watching animals on TV or in documentaries is just as educational.
NO — Zoos are necessary.
Many species would be extinct today without zoo breeding programmes. Zoos provide a safe place for animals to reproduce without threats like poaching or habitat loss. Good modern zoos have large, naturalistic enclosures. They also educate millions of visitors each year about wildlife protection. Seeing a real animal creates an emotional connection that no screen can match. Zoos also fund conservation projects around the world. A complete ban would harm, not help, endangered species.
What do you think?
Visit our website to vote in our debate. Vote YES if you think all zoos should be closed, or NO if you don't. We'll publish the results next week.
26. What is one reason the "YES" side gives for closing zoos?
A. Zoos do not help endangered animals at all.
B. Animals in zoos cannot live as they would in the wild.
C. Most people prefer watching animals on television.
D. Zoos are too expensive for most families to visit.
27. How does the "NO" side argue that zoos help conservation?
A. By releasing all animals back into the wild.
B. By breeding endangered species and funding protection.
C. By teaching visitors how to hunt animals.
D. By replacing natural habitats with artificial ones.
28. What is the main purpose of this debate text?
A. To prove that zoos are cruel and should be banned.
B. To encourage readers to form and share their own opinions.
C. To advertise a new wildlife documentary series.
D. To show that scientists cannot agree on animal rights.
B
In a small town in Scotland, a group of teenagers started a "Senior Prom" programme that pairs young people with elderly residents who feel lonely. The idea came from 16-year-old Chloe, who noticed that her neighbour, 82-year-old Mr. Morrison, rarely had visitors.
"I used to see him sitting by the window all day," Chloe said. "One day I knocked on his door just to say hello. He talked for an hour about his life as a sailor. His eyes lit up. That's when I realised how much older people need company."
Chloe shared her idea with her classmates. Together, they created a schedule. Each week, different students would visit assigned elderly neighbours for at least one hour. They would play cards, listen to stories, help with small tasks, or just sit and chat.
The programme quickly grew. Local businesses donated board games, books, and even mobile phones so that seniors could call their families. The school offered a small reward: students who completed ten visits would receive a certificate and a free pizza lunch.
Mr. Morrison became one of the most popular seniors to visit. He had travelled to over 40 countries and had endless stories. "I feel like a grandfather to all these young people," he said with a smile. "They've given me a reason to get out of bed in the morning."
One student, 15-year-old James, said, "At first I thought it would be boring. But Mr. Morrison taught me how to fish and told me about his adventures. I've learned more from him than from any textbook."
The programme has now inspired similar projects in five other towns. Chloe hopes it will spread across the country. "Loneliness is a silent problem," she said. "But a simple visit can change someone's whole week."
29. What made Chloe start the "Senior Prom" programme?
A. Her teacher gave her a class assignment.
B. She saw her elderly neighbour often sitting alone.
C. Her grandparents asked her for help.
D. She needed volunteer hours for a school requirement.
30. What do students do in the programme?
A. They take elderly people on trips around the world.
B. They visit elderly neighbours to spend time with them.
C. They collect money to build nursing homes.
D. They teach elderly people how to use smartphones.
31. How did Mr. Morrison feel about the visits?
A. He felt annoyed by too many visitors.
B. He felt they gave him purpose and joy.
C. He preferred to be left alone.
D. He thought they were a waste of time.
32. What did James learn from the experience?
A. Older people have valuable stories and skills to share.
B. Visiting seniors is boring and unrewarding.
C. Textbooks are more important than real-life experiences.
D. Only old people need help, not young people.
C
Kai had always been afraid of deep water. When he was five, he fell into a pool and almost drowned. Now at thirteen, he still could not swim. He avoided pool parties and beach trips. His friends did not understand. "Just jump in!" they would say. But Kai knew the fear was deeper than they could see.
One summer, Kai's school announced a mandatory swimming unit in physical education. Kai's heart raced when he heard the news. He considered faking an illness, but his mother saw through his plan.
"You cannot run from fear forever," she said. "Fear grows when you hide. It shrinks when you face it."
With his mother's encouragement, Kai decided to face the water. On the first day of swimming class, he stood at the edge of the pool, his legs shaking. The water looked dark and endless. Coach Martinez, a kind woman with grey hair, walked over.
"I see you're scared," she said quietly. "That's okay. We'll go at your speed. Today, just put your feet in. Nothing more."
Kai sat on the edge and dipped his toes. The water felt warm. He did not drown. Day by day, he moved a little further. One day, he put his whole body in while holding the wall. Another day, he floated with a kickboard. And then, after six weeks, he swam one full lap across the pool.
When Kai touched the other side, his classmates cheered. Coach Martinez smiled. "You didn't just learn to swim," she said. "You learned courage."
That night, Kai called his grandmother. "I swam across the whole pool," he said, his voice full of pride. "I know," she said. "I never doubted you."
Kai realised that fear is like a shadow. The more you run from it, the faster it follows. But when you turn around and walk toward it, it disappears. He still felt nervous before swimming. But he no longer let that feeling control him.
33. Why was Kai afraid of water?
A. He had never seen a pool before.
B. He nearly drowned when he was young.
C. His friends told him scary stories about the ocean.
D. His mother warned him to stay away from water.
34. How did Coach Martinez help Kai?
A. She forced Kai to jump into the deep end immediately.
B. She allowed Kai to skip the swimming class.
C. She let Kai go at his own pace, starting with small steps.
D. She asked other students to push Kai into the pool.
35. What lesson did Kai learn by the end of the story?
A. Fear never really goes away, so you should avoid it.
B. Facing fear step by step makes it lose its power.
C. Swimming is the only way to overcome all fears.
D. Other people cannot help you face your fears.
36. What does the shadow metaphor at the end of the story mean?
A. Fear follows you only at night.
B. Running from fear makes it seem larger.
C. Shadows are more dangerous than water.
D. Fear disappears completely when you face it once.
D
For centuries, sailors told stories of strange songs coming from the sea. They thought the sounds were made by sea monsters. Today, we know the truth: whales sing.
Whales produce a complex series of sounds that scientists call "songs". These songs can last for hours and travel hundreds of kilometres through the ocean. But why do whales sing? Scientists have several theories.
The most common theory is that male whales sing to attract females. During breeding season, male humpback whales sing long, beautiful songs. Females listen from far away and choose the male with the most impressive song. It is like a singing competition underwater.
Another theory is that whales use songs to navigate. Sound travels five times faster in water than in air. Whales may sing and listen to the echoes to understand their surroundings, much like bats use echolocation. This helps them find food and avoid obstacles in dark or cloudy waters.
Some scientists believe songs also help whales stay connected. Whales live in groups called pods. When members swim far apart, singing may help them find each other again. Each pod has its own unique song pattern, like a family signature.
Interestingly, whale songs change over time. New sounds appear, and old sounds disappear. Different pods in different oceans have completely different songs. It is like human music evolving across cultures.
Climate change and human noise pollution are threatening whale communication. Ships, sonar, and underwater construction create loud noises that drown out whale songs. Scientists worry that if whales cannot hear each other, they may struggle to find mates and food.
Conservation efforts are trying to create quieter oceans. Some shipping lanes have been moved. Ships are being redesigned to make less noise. If we succeed, the beautiful songs of whales will continue to fill the oceans for generations to come.
37. What is the main reason male whales sing according to the most common theory?
A. To scare away other sea animals.
B. To attract females during breeding season.
C. To communicate with sailors on ships.
D. To mark their territory in the ocean.
38. How do whales use sound to navigate?
A. They listen to echoes to understand their surroundings.
B. They follow the sound of ships to find land.
C. They sing only in shallow water where it is safe.
D. They use their songs to create waves that push them forward.
39. What threat do whales face from human activity?
A. Whales are losing their ability to produce sound.
B. Noise pollution makes it hard for whales to hear each other.
C. Ships are hunting whales for their songs.
D. Climate change is making whale songs too loud.
40. What is one way people are helping protect whale communication?
A. Building more underwater construction sites.
B. Encouraging ships to use louder sonar systems.
C. Moving shipping lanes and making ships quieter.
D. Teaching whales to sing louder to compete with noise.

A) 请根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词,使短文意思完整正确,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41~45的相应横线上。
Bamboo is one of the most _41_ (有用的) plants on Earth. It grows faster than any other plant — some species can grow nearly one metre per day! Bamboo has been used for thousands of years to build houses, bridges, and even _42_ (乐器). In many Asian countries, bamboo shoots are a delicious food. Bamboo fibres are also used to make soft, breathable clothing. Unlike trees, bamboo can be _43_ (收获) every three to five years without killing the plant. This makes it a very sustainable choice. Scientists are now studying how to use bamboo to _44_ (减少) plastic pollution. Bamboo products can break down naturally, while plastic takes hundreds of years to disappear. The next time you use a bamboo toothbrush or a bamboo cutting board, remember that you are helping the _45_ (环境).
B) 请根据短文意思,用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为46~50的相应横线上。
The giant panda is one of the world's most beloved animals. But few people know that pandas depend almost _46_ (complete) on bamboo for food. An adult panda eats between 12 and 38 kilograms of bamboo every day. That is a lot of chewing! Pandas have a special wrist bone that acts like a thumb, helping them _47_ (hold) bamboo stems while they eat.
Unfortunately, bamboo forests are _48_ (appear) at an alarming rate. Climate change and human development have destroyed large areas of panda habitat. When bamboo flowers and dies, it can take years for new bamboo _49_ (grow). During that time, pandas may starve. Conservationists are working to connect broken forest areas so pandas can move to find food. Thanks to these _50_ (effort), panda populations have started to recover in recent years. But there is still much work to be done.
C) 请阅读下面对话,从方框中选择适当的单词或短语填空(方框中有一个单词或短语是多余选项),使对话内容完整正确,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为51~55的相应横线上。

Have you ever wondered why the sky is blue or why some colours make you feel calm while others make you feel excited? The science of colour is called colour psychology, and it affects almost every part of our lives.
Colours can influence our moods without us even realising it. Blue is often described as a calming colour. Hospitals and dentists' offices often use blue walls to help patients feel more relaxed. Green is associated with nature and growth. Many schools paint their walls light green because it is believed to help students concentrate. Yellow is the most visible colour in daylight. It captures attention quickly, which is why taxis and warning signs are often yellow. However, too much yellow can cause feelings of anger or frustration. Red is the colour of energy and excitement. It raises heart rates and creates a sense of urgency. That is why clearance sales often use red tags. But red can also be aggressive, which is why it is used carefully in schools and hospitals.
Different cultures see colours differently. In Western countries, white is worn at weddings to represent purity. But in many Eastern cultures, white is the colour of mourning and is worn at funerals. Black is seen as formal and elegant in the West, but in some cultures, it represents evil or bad luck. Purple was once so expensive to produce that only royalty could afford it. Today, purple still suggests luxury and wealth.
Businesses use colour psychology carefully. Fast food restaurants often use red and yellow because these colours stimulate appetite and encourage quick eating. Banks and insurance companies use blue because it suggests trust and stability. Environmental organisations use green to connect their message with nature. Even product packaging is tested for colour appeal before hitting the shelves.
Understanding colour psychology can help you make better choices in your own life. Do you want to feel calm? Paint your bedroom blue. Need to focus? Add some green to your study area. Want to feel energetic? Wear something red. The colours around you are not just decoration — they are quietly shaping how you think and feel.
What is colour psychology?
Colour psychology is the science of how colours affect human moods and behaviour.
Colours and moods
• Blue makes people feel 56_____.
• Green helps students 57_____ better.
• Yellow captures 58_____ quickly but too much may cause anger.

B) 请根据短文内容及首字母提示,填写所缺单词,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为65~74的相应位置上。
Have you ever held a coin that was made over a thousand years ago? In China, ancient coins tell fascinating stories about trade, art, and power. Unlike modern coins, which are r _65_ , most ancient Chinese coins had a square hole in the middle. People s _66_ string through the holes to carry large amounts of money easily.
The earliest Chinese coins appeared over 3,000 years ago. They were not round at first. Some looked l _67_ tiny knives or spades. These shapes came from the tools that people used in daily life. A _68_ the centuries, coin shapes became standardised. The round shape with a square hole represented the ancient belief that the sky is round and the e _69_ is square.
Each new dynasty made its own coins. The writing on the coins t _70_ you which emperor was in power. Some coins had pictures of dragons, phoenixes, or other symbols of good luck. Collectors today can tell the age of a coin simply by looking at the style of the writing and the metal used.
Coin collecting is a popular hobby a _71_ the world. Some ancient coins are very rare and valuable. In 2021, a Chinese coin from the Song Dynasty sold for over two million yuan. But most ancient coins are quite affordable. A beginner collector can start with just a f _72_ hundred yuan.
If you want to start collecting, here is some advice. First, learn to i _73_ fake coins. Many reproductions look real but are not valuable. Second, start with common coins from later dynasties. They are cheaper and easier to find. Third, keep your coins in a dry place. Moisture can damage old metal.
Collecting ancient coins is not just about money. It is about h _74_ . Each coin was once held by someone who lived centuries ago. When you hold that coin, you are touching the past.

作文:
Dear Tom,
Thank you for your last letter. You asked about my future career plan. I have thought about it carefully, and I want to become a doctor in the future.
Why do I choose this job? When I was ten, my grandmother became very ill. The doctors worked hard to save her life, and they succeeded. That experience touched me deeply. I realised that doctors can bring hope and healing to people in pain. I want to be someone who helps others just like those doctors helped my grandmother.
To make my dream come true, I am working hard on biology and chemistry at school. I also volunteer at a local health centre every Saturday. I help clean the rooms and talk to patients. This teaches me how to communicate with people who are suffering. After junior high, I plan to study medicine at a good university and later become a doctor in a rural area where medical resources are limited.
What about you? What do you want to be in the future? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
