It’s impossible for my children to read this, which is lucky for me, because it would give them support for the argument “Can we get a dog or a cat?” Because the research suggests that having one is good for children.
A study published shows that children who had a dog in their first year of life were 13% less likely to develop asthma (哮喘) by the time they were six than those from dog-free families. It is believed that children are more likely to develop allergies (过敏) if they grow up in super-clean environments. This study shows other reasons that increase the risk of asthma, but can still show only an association (联系).
It is reported that 46% of families in the UK have pets, with dogs and then cats the most common animals. The evidence which shows the advantages of having cats is not always the same, but some research still shows that pets make children healthier. A study of 397 Finnish babies in 2012 found that during their first year of life, those whose parents had dogs or cats had fewer colds than those from homes without pets. Dogs offered more protection than cats. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.
The research also shows that having a pet may make children feel more popular and be more understanding. Older studies found that pets make family members spend more time together and have more “entertainment” they offered as well.
Pets can also help children to learn about responsibility, brush the fur, clean the place they sleep, feed them, take more exercise (if you get a dog) and deal with loss—who can forget when their family pet got a car accident?
In a word, keeping pets is really good for improving children’s health and their qualities. However, I still won’t allow my children to keep a pet at home. After all, both dogs and cats poop (排泄) at home, and they can carry worms or other viruses. Also, it seems that few children look after the animals, they repeatedly asked their parents for help.
1. According to some research, having a pet makes children healthier because ________.
A.they aren’t likely to develop asthma B.they live in a super-clean environment
C.pets can protect them from danger D.dirt makes them guard against the disease better
2. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.There is no good reason for having pets. B.Having pets also has its disadvantages.
C.Children share the care of pets with parents. D.Pets may bring happiness to children.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Why can pets make parents healthier? B.Will having a pet make your parents sick?
C.Does a pet bring more happiness? D.Is keeping a pet really good for your children?
4. What best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. D 4. A
【导语】本文主要讨论了养宠物对孩子的利弊。
1. 细节理解题。根据“Dogs offered more protection than cats. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.”可知,狗将室外的真菌或细菌等“脏东西”带回来,刺激孩子的免疫系统,从而降低得病风险。故选D。
2. 细节理解题。根据“After all, both dogs and cats poop (排泄) at home… it seems that few children look after the animals, they repeatedly asked their parents for help.”可知,最后一段作者也强调宠物的排泄和病毒问题,说明养宠物也有不利之处。故选B。
3. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者先说明研究表明养宠物对孩子有诸多好处,然后也提及一些现实麻烦,核心探讨“养宠物对孩子是否真有益”。故选D。
4. 篇章结构题。第一段提出论点,研究结论表明养宠物对孩子有好处;第二段和第三段说明养宠物对孩子的健康有好处;第四段和第五段说明养宠物对孩子其他方面的好处,让孩子受欢迎、善解人意、有责任感;第六段总结并提出作者的观点。故选A。
Passage 10
I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from?
To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders (蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them.
Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but weren’t bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.
So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes, People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests (害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance.
How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake, It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favourite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mum on the next field trip.
1. In the writer’s opinion, what are “black faces”?
A.Things make people feel dangerous. B.Faces of animals in the pictures.
C.Things that have black faces. D.Faces of people in danger.
2. What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third paragraph?
A.We might never see any snakes. B.We are not in danger any longer.
C.We might not fear snakes any more. D.We might already be killed by snakes.
3. How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes?
A.By teaching people skills of killing snakes. B.By driving snakes away through a field trip.
C.By teaching them the right way to stay with them. D.By giving snakes a chance to show they are good.
4. What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage?
A.Don’t be afraid and find chances in danger. B.Always remember to give people safety tips.
C.Face failures bravely and never give up trying. D.Find problems and do research to solve them.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D

Passage 12
Big data (大数据) is a lot of sets (组) of information that are put together, so they can be used by a computer program. The program looks for different kinds of answers in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources (来源), such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so they can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra action to take care of that baby, so the baby does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
1. What kind of information may be included in big data from Paragraph 1?
A.People’s addresses. B.People’s plans. C.People’s minds. D.People’s personalities.
2. How does the writer show his ideas in Paragraph 2?
A.By showing numbers. B.By giving examples.
C.By telling stories. D.By drawing mindmaps.

A.Students at school. B.Students who succeed in school.
C.Some certain top students. D.Students who need more help than others.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.Big data, good or bad? B.Big data — Best helper
C.Facts about big data D.Many sources of big data
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述大数据可以在许多方面发挥重要作用,但也存在一些潜在的风险和滥用问题。
1. 细节理解题。根据“One set of data can have people’s names and addresses.”可知,人们的住址可能会被纳入大数据。故选A。

3. 词义猜测题。根据“Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so they can succeed in school.”可知,一些学校使用大数据来了解哪些孩子在课堂上可能需要额外的帮助,然后老师可以给这些学生帮助或支持,这样这些学生就可以在学校取得成功。“they”指代“在课堂上可能需要额外的帮助的学生”。故选D。
4. 最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述大数据的概念,用途以及它潜在的风险,选项C“关于大数据的事实”最适合作为本文的标题。故选C。
Passage 13
In a big city, there lived an old man named Mr. Lin, who had lived alone for many years since his children grew up and moved away. His life was quiet, and his only companions were a few small brown sparrows (麻雀).
Every morning, Mr. Lin had the same habit. He would go to the window, take out a small box of rice, and put some on the windowsill (窗台). Next, he would place a bowl of clean water beside it. The sparrows, which were very shy, waited on the telephone wire nearby. Only when Mr. Lin went back inside and smiled at them through the glass, would they finally fly down to eat. This was their special, silent friendship.
However, one winter, Mr. Lin caught a bad cold. He had to stay in bed, too weak to move. For three days, the windowsill remained empty. The sparrows came as usual, but finding neither food nor their old friend, they made a loud sound and flew away, seeming disappointed.
On the fourth morning, something unexpected happened. A particularly brave little sparrow, which was smaller than the others, instead of leaving, flew directly to the windowsill. Tap, tap, tap. It used its small beak to knock on the glass. Hearing the sound, Mr. Lin slowly, with great effort, got up from his bed. Though still weak, he made his way to the window. He opened it and gently placed a small handful of rice on the sill. The sparrow looked at him but did not fly away. Its tiny eyes seemed to ask, “Are you all right?”
At that moment, Mr. Lin felt warmth in his heart. He realized the truth: while he provided the sparrows with food, in return, they offered him their company. Their simple act of caring for him transformed the feeling of the huge, busy city, making it seem a little less lonely. Sometimes, the most meaningful kindness that we can receive appears in the simplest and quietest ways.
1. What’s the main purpose of the second paragraph?
A.It explains why Mr. Lin’s children moved out.
B.It describes the usual, peaceful interaction (互动) between Mr. Lin and the sparrows.
C.It tells the readers that the sparrows were very hungry.
D.It introduces the problem that Mr. Lin faced in the winter.
2. Why did the writer describe the sparrows flying away “seeming disappointed” in paragraph 3?
A.To show that the sparrows were angry with Mr. Lin.
B.To show that the sparrows were not really Mr. Lin’s friends.
C.To show that the sparrows might miss their daily actions between Mr. Lin and them.
D.To tell the readers that the sparrows were leaving the city for good.
3. In paragraph 5, what does the word “transformed” most likely mean?
A.destroyed B.forgot C.changed completely D.made more difficult
4. What is the most important lesson the writer wants readers to learn from this story?
A.Old people need to take medicine when they are sick.
B.We should always feed the birds in winter.
C.True connection and care can be silent, two-way, and found in the simplest acts.
D.Living alone in a big city is always a sad thing.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了林先生与麻雀之间的温暖故事。
【详解】1. 第二段主要描述了林先生每天喂麻雀的固定习惯(放米、放水)以及它们之间默契的互动过程(麻雀等林先生进屋后才吃),确立了两者之间特殊的友谊。
2. 第3段“The sparrows came as usual, but finding neither food nor their old friend, they made a loud sound and flew away, seeming disappointed”:麻雀习惯了和林先生的日常互动,当食物和林先生都不在时,它们的“失望”体现了对这段日常联结的在意,因此选项C正确。
3. 第5段“Their simple act of caring for him transformed the feeling of the huge, busy city, making it seem a little less lonely.”:句中“transformed”的结果是“让城市不再那么孤独”,即对城市的感受发生了彻底改变,与选项C“changed completely”含义一致。
4. 第5段“He realized the truth: while he provided the sparrows with food, in return, they offered him their company... Sometimes, the most meaningful kindness that we can receive appears in the simplest and quietest ways.”:结尾点明主旨,说明林先生与麻雀的联结是双向、无声的善意,这种简单的陪伴就是最有意义的关怀。
Passage 14
Recently, Chinese scientists introduced a tiny drone (无人机) that looks just like a mosquito (蚊子). This little robot was made to watch places secretly, and it has caught wide attention after being shown on CCTV7, China Central Television’s military (军事的) channel.
What makes this drone special? First, its appearance—flapping wings and legs as thin as hair—makes it almost impossible to tell apart from real insects. Second, its tiny size gives it amazing abilities: it can fly into almost any space, from narrow gaps (空隙) to crowded rooms, without being noticed. Though it was mostly made for military spy (侦察) work, many people think it could also be used by the government for the public.
Let’s talk about its details. The drone was only 1.3 cm long—about the size of a grain of rice—and could be controlled easily with a smartphone. It had leaf-shaped wings, three small legs, and flew much more quietly than bigger drones. Its creators say it’s so well-hidden that even careful observers might miss it. Plus, it can do many tasks: for example, flying into disaster zones too dangerous or hard for humans to reach, or checking air quality when set up with small sensors (传感器).
Of course, this “mosquito drone” isn’t perfect. While its small size is its biggest strength, it’s also a weakness. Because it’s so tiny, its battery (电池) doesn’t last long—maybe just a few minutes. And since it can’t carry heavy things, it can only use a few simple sensors or tools at a time.
All in all, this invention shows how Chinese scientists are using advanced technology to create smart tools. Maybe in the future, such small drones will help with rescue (救援) work, environmental checks, or even daily tasks—though we’ll have to wait and see how they’re used!
1. According to Paragraph 1, the drone ________.
A.was invented by biologists
B.is used to kill mosquitoes
C.has drawn attention from military experts
D.is mainly used for kids’ science education
2. The drone can’t be noticed easily in a room because ________.
A.It keeps silent when it flies
B.It’s controlled from far away
C.It looks and moves like a real mosquito
D.It’s good at flying in darkness
3. What can we learn about the possible future of the mosquito drone?
A.It will replace big drones soon.
B.It may help to do many jobs.
C.It is mainly used for military work.
D.It can not fly in open areas.
4. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To advertise (宣传) a new type of mosquito drone for sale.
B.To explain how mosquito drones are used for spying.
C.To introduce a new invention and discuss its possible uses and limits (局限).
D.To warn people about the dangers of new drone technology.
【答案】1. C 2. C 3. B 4. C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了中国科学家研发的蚊子外形微型无人机,客观讲解了它的外观、尺寸、功能、优缺点以及未来应用前景。
【详解】1. 根据第一段中的“This little robot was made to watch places secretly, and it has caught wide attention after being shown on CCTV7, China Central Television’s military (军事的) channel.”可知,该无人机在央视军事频道播出后引起了广泛关注,由此可推断它引起了军事专家的关注。
2. 根据第二段中的“First, its appearance—flapping wings and legs as thin as hair—makes it almost impossible to tell apart from real insects.”可知,无人机难以被发现主要是因为它看起来和行动起来都像一只真正的蚊子。
3. 根据最后一段中的“Maybe in the future, such small drones will help with rescue (救援) work, environmental checks, or even daily tasks—though we’ll have to wait and see how they’re used!”可知,未来这种无人机可能有助于救援、环境检查甚至日常任务,即帮助做许多工作。
4. 通读全文可知,文章第一段引入发明,第二、三段介绍其特点和用途,第四段讨论其局限性,第五段展望未来的应用。选项C“介绍一项新发明并讨论其可能的用途和局限。”最能概括全文主旨。

【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事。主要讲述了一只蚊子挑战并打败了强大的狮子,但因为骄傲自满、得意忘形,最后不慎撞入蜘蛛网被吃掉的故事,告诉我们骄傲使人粗心的道理。
【详解】1. 句意:蚊子停在狮子的鼻子正前方。
根据前文“flew up to a lion”和空后“right in front of the lion’s nose”可知,蚊子飞过去停在了狮子鼻子前面。故选landed。
2. 句意:你可能比我更大、更强壮,但这并不意味着你能在真正的战斗中打败我。
“and”并列比较级,根据前文“bigger”可知,狮子比蚊子体型更大、力量更强壮。故选stronger。
3. 句意:我们现在就来较量一下吧!
根据前文“beat me in a real fight”可知,蚊子要和狮子进行一场决斗较量。固定搭配“have a match”,意为“进行一场比试/较量”,对应“fight”打斗。
4. 句意:狮子睁开一只惺忪的睡眼,对着这只小昆虫大声嘲笑。
根据前文“a lion who was resting under a big tree”和空后“one sleepy eye”可知,狮子听到蚊子的话后睁开了一只眼睛。固定搭配“open one’s eye”,意为“睁开眼睛”,符合睡醒后被吵醒的动作。
5. 句意:但是蚊子是非常认真的。
“But”表转折,前文狮子大笑“laughed loudly”和后文蚊子发起攻击可知,蚊子并不是在开玩笑,而是认真的。故选serious。
6. 句意:他吹响小号角,径直冲向狮子。
根据空后“straight at the lion”和后文的攻击行为可知,蚊子直接冲向了狮子。故选rushed。
7. 句意:他一次又一次地咬狮子的鼻子、耳朵和眼睛周围——所有没有毛发保护皮肤的柔软地方。
根据常识可知,动物的毛发可以用来保护皮肤,无毛的地方皮肤脆弱易被咬。故选protect。
8. 句意:狮子试图用他锋利沉重的爪子抓住他,但他只弄伤了自己的脸并流了血。
前句想抓蚊子,后句伤到自己,前后逻辑转折。故选but。
9. 句意:狮子愤怒而痛苦地大叫,但他无法阻止蚊子。
根据前文狮子被咬且抓伤自己可知,狮子感到非常生气和疼痛。固定搭配“with anger and pain”,意为“愤怒又疼痛”。

14. 句意:我太愚蠢了!我打败了森林里最强壮的野兽,却在这里被一只小蜘蛛杀死了。
根据后文蚊子感叹自己打败了狮子却死于小蜘蛛之手,可知他觉得自己得意忘形的行为很愚蠢。故选foolish。
15. 句意:这个故事告诉我们,骄傲使人粗心大意。
根据故事中蚊子打败狮子后骄傲自满,最终导致丧命的结局,可知是骄傲使人粗心。故选pride。

His 2 began in 1983, when serious soil erosion (水土流失) was influencing people’s lives around his village. Standing on the bare (光秃秃的) mountains, Wang kept thinking about planting trees to 3 the soil and stop the water washing it away. Finally, Wang made a brave decision. He 4 his job as a teacher. Then, being 5 by the local government, he volunteered all his time and began his long-lasting effort of planting trees to green the mountains.
Life was far from 6 . Wang together with his family often stayed on the mountain for over a month at a time, sleeping in the stone cave (山洞) and eating 7 food like dry pancakes. With no roads for trucks or cars, Wang had to carry tree seedlings (树苗) and water on his shoulders and 8 for kilometers up and down the mountains. The water he carried each time was only enough for at most seven or eight trees, so he had to make lots of 9 every day.
A painful event happened in 1997 when Wang’s wife passed away suddenly from a heart disease. Even though he was 10 sad, he did not stop. Wang Zizhong’s mind on improving the environment remained 11 . He continued living and working on the mountains, planting trees alone.
As he aged, his son Wang Tao, who had been inspired by his father’s 12 since childhood, decided to take on the honourable responsibility of 13 the trees while planting more.
The belief of green development has taken deep root in their hearts. After 42 years of non-stop effort, the Wang family has planted over 200,000 trees, 14 more than 133 hectares (公顷) of the mountains. Their 15 work has successfully turned the bare hills into green forests, leaving a valuable green treasure for future generations.

Passage 22
For most of our history, we horses lived without you. Our story began more than 50 million years ago, long before modern humans a 1 . Our earliest known ancestor (祖先) lived in thick forests. She was small — about the size of a fox. She had four toes on each front foot and three on each back foot.
As the Earth’s climate changed, those forests gave way to open grasslands, and we had to change. We became bigger. Our many toes turned into single, strong hooves (蹄子) that were perfect for r 2 across the fields. Our teeth changed, too. They were no longer f 3 for soft leaves. Instead, they became strong enough to chew (嚼碎) hard grasses. Our brains grew as well, helping us discover danger and r 4 paths. In this way, we would not get lost on the wide grasslands.
We ran wild across North America, Asia and Europe. Then, about 5,500 years ago, something unusual happened. A group of humans in Central Asia tried to tame (驯服) our ancestors. From that moment on, our paths became tied together.
At first, humans used us for meat and milk, as they did with other big grass-eating animals. However, they soon discovered that our speed and strength could help them travel and carry h 5 things. Humans invented special equipment (设备) to help them ride and control us.
W 6 our help, humans could travel farther and faster than ever before. Over time, they didn’t just use us — they depended on us. The Greeks t 7 us for sport, and the Romans used us for war, transport and farming. Along the Silk Roads, we helped carry silk, spices and ideas from one culture to another. In all these cases, we were more than just a 8 ; we were engines of history.
That continued until the 1800s, when another turning point came: industrialization (工业化). Steam engines (蒸汽机), cars, and machines began to take the r 9 of us. Millions of us disappeared from cities and farms. Still, we never truly l 10 . Today, some of us help as therapy animals. Others compete in sports or races. Many of us appear in ceremonial (仪式的) events. Children learn to ride us in camps, where we teach balance, confidence and care.
Our partnership, I believe, is far from over.

Passage 23
Imagine stepping into a room and commanding your computer by simply thinking—no keyboard, no mouse, no voice. This is the promise of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) , devices that decode neural signals into digital commands. In 2025, the first commercially available non-invasive BCI headband, named “Nexus”, went on sale for under $500. The device uses electroencephalography (EEG) to detect patterns associated with focused attention, relaxation, and even imagined movement. Early a 1 have been impressive: users can play simple video games, type at 15 words per minute, and control smart home devices, all without lifting a finger.
But BCIs are not just toys. For people with severe paralysis, they offer a l 2 to communication and independence. In a landmark trial, a patient with locked-in syndrome used a BCI to tell his daughter, “I love you” for the first time in seven years. The words were generated by a computer s 3 but the intent was purely human. However, this technology also raises unsettling q 4 . Who owns the data generated by your brain activity? Could an employer require BCI monitoring to ensure “productivity”? Could a court s 5 your neural patterns as evidence? Current privacy laws have no answer.
The security risks are equally frightening. Researchers have demonstrated that a malicious hacker, given access to a BCI headband’s Bluetooth connection, could e 6 private information — such as whether you recognize a face or feel fear. More disturbingly, they could potentially inject false signals, making you feel anxious or tired without cause. Dr. Nina Khurana, a neuroethicist, warns that we are r 7 toward a future where “brain-hacking” becomes a real crime. She calls for a global treaty to ban the weaponization of BCIs.
Despite the risks, investment is pouring in. Tech giants envision a world where you can search the web by simply thinking of a question, or s 8 a text message without touching your phone. China has included BCI technology in its latest five-year plan, aiming to become a world leader by 2030. Meanwhile, a grassroots movement called “ KeepBrainDataHuman” is pushing for strict r 9 on commercial use. They argue that the brain is the last private sanctuary, and once breached, there is no retreat.
As BCIs become cheaper and more powerful, every one of us will face a choice: embrace the convenience at the cost of mental privacy, or refuse and risk being left behind. Perhaps the most urgent need is not better technology, but wiser g 10 . The future is arriving faster than our laws can run.

Passage 27
Every night before bed, I write down three things I’m grateful for in a small green notebook. My English teacher, Mrs. Chen, taught me this. She not only teaches us knowledge from textbooks, but also l 1 us to find beauty and warmth in life.
At first, I thought it was a silly task. “F 2 three good things every day,” she said. “They don’t have to be big.”
The first few days were hard. I w 3 things like “lunch was okay” and “no homework in math.” But slowly, something changed. I started noticing small kindnesses I had never noticed before.
Yesterday’s l 4 looked like this:
1. The soft sunshine warmed my face on the way to school. It pushed against the cold wind, lit up the road, and made the whole morning bright and gentle. Such small beauty a 5 me makes every simple day warm.
2. My English textbook stays with me every day. It brings me useful words and knowledge, teaches me to e 6 my feelings clearly, and grows up with me. I am truly thankful for it.
3. My best friend didn’t ask why I was quiet at lunch. She just sat q 7 beside me and shared funny cat videos on her phone. Her silent company (陪伴) made me feel relaxed and warm in my heart.
The strange thing is, the more I write in this notebook, the fuller my life feels. It is like I have discovered a s 8 : gratitude is not about waiting for big, perfect moments. It is about seeing clearly what’s already there, i 9 the quiet help from textbooks and careful teaching from teachers.

Passage 1
China’s Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanwu, is just coming. Also called the Double Fifth Festival, it is celebrated 1 the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
It is one of the 2 (old) festivals both in China and throughout the world, with a history of more than 2,000 years. In 2006, the traditional festival 3 (add) to China’s National Intangible Cultural Heritage List. In 2008, people could spend a public holiday on this day.
The Dragon Boat Festival comes in memory of the 4 (die) of Qu Yuan, a Chu state official and poet during the Warring States Period (475 BCE~221 BCE). He had a deep love for his country. He 5 (leave) his home after he was against his king’s decision to make friends with the neighbouring state of Qin, and when Chu was 6 (final) taken by Qin, he killed himself by 7 (jump) into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
The Chu people were so sad that they threw rice dumplings into the river to feed the fish, so they would not eat the body of their great poet. It is said that people then started dragon boat racing 8 (keep) the fish away.
Since then, the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar has been celebrated as the Dragon Boat Festival. People hold dragon boat races and prepare zongzi so that they can remember Qu’s spirit and 9 (he) beautiful poems. Today, the festival is not just a time for traditional activities. 10 a chance for families to get together and share the traditional culture.
Passage 2
Hanging red lanterns in front of the door is believed to drive away bad luck. The 1 (one) Chinese paper lanterns were invented during the Eastern Han Dynasty. In ancient China, people raised lanterns 2 (get) light and wish for a better life. Also, lanterns were 3 (wide) used at festivals.
People can make bamboo, wood and metal into frames(框架)of lanterns. Paper 4 silk are the main materials for covers. People like to paint beautiful Chinese pictures on 5 (they). The traditional lantern is covered by rice paper 6 a candle burning inside. Light shines through the rice paper at night. That is really Chinese style. The most common Chinese lanterns are red, round and with red or golden tassels(流苏). They 7 (see) as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes. In Chinese culture, lanterns in different colors express different 8 (mean).
People usually light lanterns for the Chinese New Year. Lanterns have been 9 important part of Chinese culture. Also, they 10 (become) the national pride in China.
Passage 3
The Chinese government suggests 1 (have) spring and autumn holidays for primary and secondary school students. Workers can have several days 2 at different times. Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan 3 (try) this policy so far.
These short holidays are good for students, 4 they can make students feel less tired after long study time and keep students healthy in body and mind. When the weather is nice, students can leave classrooms to take part in fun activities 5 include farming and learning about local culture. As a result, 6 (educate) goes hand in hand with practice.
It’s also a perfect time for families. Some parents think it may be possible for them to travel at 7 low cost, which makes family ties stronger. The holidays also help local tourism and economy grow faster, making students and society 8 (happy).
But there are problems too. Many parents must work while children can’t look after 9 (they) during holidays. To solve this, schools offer plenty of activities, and local communities provide more programs for students to master some living skills. Holidays can also be set 10 (proper) according to local life. All in all, these holidays help students grow better with the help of families, schools and society.
Passage 4
While some people say their school years are the best time of their lives, others believe life only gets better as they get older. 1 , Rafael Santandreu, a Spanish psychologist (心理学家), doesn’t agree with them. He gave his opinion when he 2 (interview).
“The best time of life comes when you start expressing gratitude (感激),” he said. “True happiness begins when you start to value what you 3 (get) up to now. And the best part doesn’t depend on age. It can start right now!”
In fact, Santandreu’s opinion is also supported by science. Research shows that expressing gratitude is good for us. People who often practice gratitude are usually happier. They feel more joy, worry 4 (little), and get along better with others. Besides, by noticing good things around us, we feel more hopeful about life.
But 5 to practice gratitude in our daily life? Here are several easy 6 (way). First, you’d better prepare 7 thank-you notebook. Every day, write down two or three things that make you become 8 (cheer) or people who make a difference to you. Second, say thanks more often. Tell a family member, a friend or a teacher why you thank them. It makes you and 9 (they) feel good. Third, offer quiet thanks. When you see something beautiful or when someone helps you, say “thank you” 10 (gentle) in your heart.
Remember: the best time of life isn’t connected with how old you are. It can happen at any time!
Passage 5
When it comes to Yuan Longping, we will think of him as the “Father of Hybrid Rice”. In fact, he is also good at reading, swimming and playing the violin.
Yuan has a reading habit—reading aloud. In the first year of high school, there was 1 speech competition. Yuan took part in the competition. He chose a topic, wrote his speech and read it aloud in the morning. After that, he 2 (find) reading aloud was a good method. It could make his memory much better and he could have a 3 (deep) understanding of articles than before.
Yuan is a good 4 (swim). When he was 8 years old, he and his family took a ship to Hunan. He fell from the ship. He 5 (save) by a boatman. This made him 6 (learn) to swim—he wanted to be able to save others just as the boatman had saved him. In a national swimming competition in Chengdu, Yuan finished 7 (four) in the race, while the top three entered China’s national swimming team 8 (successful).
Yuan is also a good music lover. He learned to play the violin 9 a music teacher at college. He said, “Music is the warmth that has accompanied (陪伴) me throughout my life.”
Yuan once said, “We should be good both in mind 10 body.” Not only did he finish great things, but he also had a unique soul (独特的灵魂).
As middle school students, we should also find our own interests and life dreams like Yuan Longping.
Passage 6
Su Shi, known as Su Dongpo, was a famous Chinese writer, poet and painter.
When he was young, he read a lot of books and wrote many good articles. People thought 1 (high) of him. Because of this, he became very proud and wrote a couplet (对联) for 2 (him).
Knowing all the words in the world;
Reading all the books on the earth.
A wise old man saw this couplet and thought, “It is necessary for Su Shi 3 (learn) how to be modest.” So, one day, he came to Su Shi’s house with a book.
The old man showed Su Shi the book and explained, “So far, I 4 (read) the book several times, but there are still some difficult words that I can’t understand. I have asked many people, but none of them could understand their 5 (meaning). I have heard that you are a person of rich knowledge, so I come to ask you.”
Full of confidence, Su Shi took the book from the old 6 (man) hand, but when he opened it, he became very 7 (surprise) because there were many words he didn’t know. At that moment, Su Shi realized that there were many more things that he had to learn.
Actually, the old man knew every word in this book. He just wanted to make Su Shi know the importance of 8 (be) modest. Su Shi was embarrassed (尴尬的) and said, “Now I know why you came. I shouldn’t have been so arrogant (自大的).”
The old man smiled and 9 (leave). Then Su Shi quickly took his brush and ink, and added some words to the couplet:
Working hard to know all the words in the world;
Being determined to read all the books on the earth.
From then on, he worked even 10 (hard) than before. Finally, Su Shi made great achievements in many fields, especially in literature.
Passage 7
“We thank you for your visits to Heilongjiang. This winter, you brought joy and life to this land. It’s so great to have you here.” 1 the last day of 2023, the Heilongjiang Provincial Tourism Office announced a thank-you letter 2 (excited). The letter 3 (publish) by several local newspapers.
At Harbin Ice and Snow World, 4 ice-and-snow theme park in Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, tourists gathered 5 (count) down toward 2024, with more than 1, 000 ice and snow sculptures around.
Besides the ice-and-snow sculptures, a lot of winter activities were there for visitors to enjoy. Skiing was one of 6 (popular) activities. Many people would wait for two to three hours 7 these activities.
What’s more, bicycles on ice and hot air balloons allowed visitors to enjoy the magic world from above. When the night 8 (fall), the ice sculptures looked bright in different colors, and live music and DJs added more to the colorful ice and snow world, where 9 (thousand) of visitors danced to the music together.
During this tourism boom, many visitors felt the 10 (warm) of local people. Local government provided hot tea for free to keep visitors warm. Many drivers also volunteered to drive around the city to pick up tourists and give them free rides.
“Whether it is Zibo Barbecue or Harbin Ice and Snow Tourism, they have given full play to their own characteristics and advantages. ”said Zhang Yiwu, a Chinese language and literature professor at Peking University.
Passage 8
Recently, more and more Chinese tourists are taking a history or geography book when they travel abroad. When they get to famous 1 (place), they hide the book in a quiet corner, waiting for the next Chinese traveler to find it and keep this sharing going.
Some of 2 (they) hide junior high school history books with pyramid (金字塔) pictures or high school English books with Tower Bridge covers. Others also put small gifts like bags and pens, and even warm notes on the 3 (one) page, such as "Seeing your words is like seeing you, and I hope you are fine."
In my opinion, this is a romantic experience across mountains and seas. Strangers use a book as a sign to understand each other in a foreign country, bringing unexpected 4 (warm) to a lonely journey. 5 (look) for the books is like 6 treasure hunt. You never know where the next book is 7 (hide), what message it has, or what connection you will have with a stranger.
Some people say that we have grown up and 8 (reach) the faraway places in our textbooks. We read history and geography books many times in class, and they show our interest in the world. Now, we take these books to the world. We not only realize our childhood dreams, 9 spread the beauty of Chinese culture around the world.
This book and culture sharing, which can touch people's hearts and turn textbooks 10 a bridge between Chinese people and different countries, is care across mountains and seas, love passed down through years, and deep love for our country in small details.
二、阅读理解:
Passage 9
It’s impossible for my children to read this, which is lucky for me, because it would give them support for the argument “Can we get a dog or a cat?” Because the research suggests that having one is good for children.
A study published shows that children who had a dog in their first year of life were 13% less likely to develop asthma (哮喘) by the time they were six than those from dog-free families. It is believed that children are more likely to develop allergies (过敏) if they grow up in super-clean environments. This study shows other reasons that increase the risk of asthma, but can still show only an association (联系).
It is reported that 46% of families in the UK have pets, with dogs and then cats the most common animals. The evidence which shows the advantages of having cats is not always the same, but some research still shows that pets make children healthier. A study of 397 Finnish babies in 2012 found that during their first year of life, those whose parents had dogs or cats had fewer colds than those from homes without pets. Dogs offered more protection than cats. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.
The research also shows that having a pet may make children feel more popular and be more understanding. Older studies found that pets make family members spend more time together and have more “entertainment” they offered as well.
Pets can also help children to learn about responsibility, brush the fur, clean the place they sleep, feed them, take more exercise (if you get a dog) and deal with loss—who can forget when their family pet got a car accident?
In a word, keeping pets is really good for improving children’s health and their qualities. However, I still won’t allow my children to keep a pet at home. After all, both dogs and cats poop (排泄) at home, and they can carry worms or other viruses. Also, it seems that few children look after the animals, they repeatedly asked their parents for help.
1. According to some research, having a pet makes children healthier because ________.
A.they aren’t likely to develop asthma B.they live in a super-clean environment
C.pets can protect them from danger D.dirt makes them guard against the disease better
2. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.There is no good reason for having pets. B.Having pets also has its disadvantages.
C.Children share the care of pets with parents. D.Pets may bring happiness to children.
3. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Why can pets make parents healthier? B.Will having a pet make your parents sick?
C.Does a pet bring more happiness? D.Is keeping a pet really good for your children?
4. What best shows the structure of the passage?
A. B. C. D.
Passage 10
I love snakes, while my mother does not. Lots of people who are afraid of snakes have never seen one. Neither has my mother. So where does the fear come from?
To find out the answer, scientists put pictures with snakes, pandas, cats, flowers and many other things in front of a group of people of all ages, even babies. People found snakes faster than flowers. It wasn’t just snakes. They found “black faces”, another example, spiders (蜘蛛), faster than “safe” things like flowers. It seems we find things that might be dangerous to us faster. Maybe we are born to be afraid of them.
Scientists also found people learned to fear snakes faster. Why did they fear snakes? Most of them said that in their experiences, they were influenced by the scared voice and faces of those who met snakes, but weren’t bitten by snakes. After all, if we had to be bitten by a snake to learn that it’s dangerous, we might learn our lesson too late.
So why is it important whether we are afraid of snakes or not? It may not matter much to us, but it is really very important to snakes, People protect animals they like, not animals they fear. Snakes may not be as cute as pandas, but they’re just of the same importance to the environment. Snakes eat insects and mice that are pests (害虫) to humans. Snakes are also food for other animals so, when we kill snakes, we’re breaking the balance.
How can we reduce our fears to give snakes a chance? Scientists did a study recently. Some volunteer students went on a field trip. With the help of safety tips, everyone could safely touch and hold a snake, It turns out that snakes aren’t so bad when you know the way to stay with them. Most people who were afraid of snakes before the field trip weren’t afraid afterwards. In fact, snakes even became some students’ favourite animal. Hmm, maybe I should take my mum on the next field trip.
1. In the writer’s opinion, what are “black faces”?
A.Things make people feel dangerous. B.Faces of animals in the pictures.
C.Things that have black faces. D.Faces of people in danger.
2. What does the writer mean by saying “we might learn our lesson too late” in the third paragraph?
A.We might never see any snakes. B.We are not in danger any longer.
C.We might not fear snakes any more. D.We might already be killed by snakes.
3. How do the scientists help people reduce the fear of snakes?
A.By teaching people skills of killing snakes. B.By driving snakes away through a field trip.
C.By teaching them the right way to stay with them. D.By giving snakes a chance to show they are good.
4. What can we learn from scientists after reading the passage?
A.Don’t be afraid and find chances in danger. B.Always remember to give people safety tips.
C.Face failures bravely and never give up trying. D.Find problems and do research to solve them.

Passage 12
Big data (大数据) is a lot of sets (组) of information that are put together, so they can be used by a computer program. The program looks for different kinds of answers in the data. Big data can have different kinds of information from many sources (来源), such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies and governments. One set of data can have people’s names and addresses. Another set can have what they like, where they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.
Big data can be used in many ways. The government uses it to understand how many people travel on buses or trains. This information is then used to make bus or train systems better. Some schools use big data to understand which children may need extra help in class. The teacher can then give certain students more help or support so they can succeed in school. Companies use big data, too. It helps them understand who buys their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict (预测) if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra action to take care of that baby, so the baby does not get sick. Big data can also be used for bad reasons. It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
1. What kind of information may be included in big data from Paragraph 1?
A.People’s addresses. B.People’s plans. C.People’s minds. D.People’s personalities.
2. How does the writer show his ideas in Paragraph 2?
A.By showing numbers. B.By giving examples.
C.By telling stories. D.By drawing mindmaps.
3. What does the underlined word “they” refer to?
A.Students at school. B.Students who succeed in school.
C.Some certain top students. D.Students who need more help than others.
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A.Big data, good or bad? B.Big data — Best helper
C.Facts about big data D.Many sources of big data
Passage 13
In a big city, there lived an old man named Mr. Lin, who had lived alone for many years since his children grew up and moved away. His life was quiet, and his only companions were a few small brown sparrows (麻雀).
Every morning, Mr. Lin had the same habit. He would go to the window, take out a small box of rice, and put some on the windowsill (窗台). Next, he would place a bowl of clean water beside it. The sparrows, which were very shy, waited on the telephone wire nearby. Only when Mr. Lin went back inside and smiled at them through the glass, would they finally fly down to eat. This was their special, silent friendship.
However, one winter, Mr. Lin caught a bad cold. He had to stay in bed, too weak to move. For three days, the windowsill remained empty. The sparrows came as usual, but finding neither food nor their old friend, they made a loud sound and flew away, seeming disappointed.
On the fourth morning, something unexpected happened. A particularly brave little sparrow, which was smaller than the others, instead of leaving, flew directly to the windowsill. Tap, tap, tap. It used its small beak to knock on the glass. Hearing the sound, Mr. Lin slowly, with great effort, got up from his bed. Though still weak, he made his way to the window. He opened it and gently placed a small handful of rice on the sill. The sparrow looked at him but did not fly away. Its tiny eyes seemed to ask, “Are you all right?”
At that moment, Mr. Lin felt warmth in his heart. He realized the truth: while he provided the sparrows with food, in return, they offered him their company. Their simple act of caring for him transformed the feeling of the huge, busy city, making it seem a little less lonely. Sometimes, the most meaningful kindness that we can receive appears in the simplest and quietest ways.
1. What’s the main purpose of the second paragraph?
A.It explains why Mr. Lin’s children moved out.
B.It describes the usual, peaceful interaction (互动) between Mr. Lin and the sparrows.
C.It tells the readers that the sparrows were very hungry.
D.It introduces the problem that Mr. Lin faced in the winter.
2. Why did the writer describe the sparrows flying away “seeming disappointed” in paragraph 3?
A.To show that the sparrows were angry with Mr. Lin.
B.To show that the sparrows were not really Mr. Lin’s friends.
C.To show that the sparrows might miss their daily actions between Mr. Lin and them.
D.To tell the readers that the sparrows were leaving the city for good.
3. In paragraph 5, what does the word “transformed” most likely mean?
A.destroyed B.forgot C.changed completely D.made more difficult
4. What is the most important lesson the writer wants readers to learn from this story?
A.Old people need to take medicine when they are sick.
B.We should always feed the birds in winter.
C.True connection and care can be silent, two-way, and found in the simplest acts.
D.Living alone in a big city is always a sad thing.
Passage 14
Recently, Chinese scientists introduced a tiny drone (无人机) that looks just like a mosquito (蚊子). This little robot was made to watch places secretly, and it has caught wide attention after being shown on CCTV7, China Central Television’s military (军事的) channel.
What makes this drone special? First, its appearance—flapping wings and legs as thin as hair—makes it almost impossible to tell apart from real insects. Second, its tiny size gives it amazing abilities: it can fly into almost any space, from narrow gaps (空隙) to crowded rooms, without being noticed. Though it was mostly made for military spy (侦察) work, many people think it could also be used by the government for the public.
Let’s talk about its details. The drone was only 1.3 cm long—about the size of a grain of rice—and could be controlled easily with a smartphone. It had leaf-shaped wings, three small legs, and flew much more quietly than bigger drones. Its creators say it’s so well-hidden that even careful observers might miss it. Plus, it can do many tasks: for example, flying into disaster zones too dangerous or hard for humans to reach, or checking air quality when set up with small sensors (传感器).
Of course, this “mosquito drone” isn’t perfect. While its small size is its biggest strength, it’s also a weakness. Because it’s so tiny, its battery (电池) doesn’t last long—maybe just a few minutes. And since it can’t carry heavy things, it can only use a few simple sensors or tools at a time.
All in all, this invention shows how Chinese scientists are using advanced technology to create smart tools. Maybe in the future, such small drones will help with rescue (救援) work, environmental checks, or even daily tasks—though we’ll have to wait and see how they’re used!
1. According to Paragraph 1, the drone ________.
A.was invented by biologists
B.is used to kill mosquitoes
C.has drawn attention from military experts
D.is mainly used for kids’ science education
2. The drone can’t be noticed easily in a room because ________.
A.It keeps silent when it flies
B.It’s controlled from far away
C.It looks and moves like a real mosquito
D.It’s good at flying in darkness
3. What can we learn about the possible future of the mosquito drone?
A.It will replace big drones soon.
B.It may help to do many jobs.
C.It is mainly used for military work.
D.It can not fly in open areas.
4. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To advertise (宣传) a new type of mosquito drone for sale.
B.To explain how mosquito drones are used for spying.
C.To introduce a new invention and discuss its possible uses and limits (局限).
D.To warn people about the dangers of new drone technology.

Passage 16
What difference a single person can make to the environment? The story of Wang Zizhong, an elderly man from Ciyu Village in Shandong Province, offers a powerful 1 .
Now 79 years old, Wang Zizhong has spent the last 42 years of his life planting trees and protecting forests with his family. His 2 began in 1983, when serious soil erosion (水土流失) was influencing people’s lives around his village. Standing on the bare (光秃秃的) mountains, Wang kept thinking about planting trees to 3 the soil and stop the water washing it away. Finally, Wang made a brave decision. He 4 his job as a teacher. Then, being 5 by the local government, he volunteered all his time and began his long-lasting effort of planting trees to green the mountains.
Life was far from 6 . Wang together with his family often stayed on the mountain for over a month at a time, sleeping in the stone cave (山洞) and eating 7 food like dry pancakes. With no roads for trucks or cars, Wang had to carry tree seedlings (树苗) and water on his shoulders and 8 for kilometers up and down the mountains. The water he carried each time was only enough for at most seven or eight trees, so he had to make lots of 9 every day.
A painful event happened in 1997 when Wang’s wife passed away suddenly from a heart disease. Even though he was 10 sad, he did not stop. Wang Zizhong’s mind on improving the environment remained 11 . He continued living and working on the mountains, planting trees alone.
As he aged, his son Wang Tao, who had been inspired by his father’s 12 since childhood, decided to take on the honourable responsibility of 13 the trees while planting more.
The belief of green development has taken deep root in their hearts. After 42 years of non-stop effort, the Wang family has planted over 200,000 trees, 14 more than 133 hectares (公顷) of the mountains. Their 15 work has successfully turned the bare hills into green forests, leaving a valuable green treasure for future generations.

I was 4 throughout elementary school. Besides the problem of “fitting in” with the other students, I also had 5 with most of my schoolwork.
One morning, Mrs. Jordan, my fifth-grade teacher, asked 6 a question in her math class. She was a large woman with a 7 that bounced off the walls of her small classroom, and it could even spread to the hallway.
I 8 her lips (嘴唇) and immediately raised my hand. For once I knew the answer! 9 I was afraid when she called on me. Then I answered her question 10 . I will never forget what happened next.
Mrs. Jordan pointed directly at me. With sparkling (闪光的) eyes and a wide 11 , she cried, “THAT’S RIGHT, STEPHEN!”

As the youngest kid in the family, I used to be told, “No, do it this way.” I knew they were all trying to 1 me. But I hated feeling wrong.
One weekend, I was asked to help Grandpa with 2 . He had flattened out one side of the green bush with a pair of scissors (剪刀) and told me to cut the other side but I just sat under a tree that 3 me from the sunshine. He 4 patiently to watch, but I didn’t do anything. Grandpa said he would come back to 5 me. When he was gone, I lifted the big scissors to cut the branches, but failed. I wanted to cry.
Then I took a pair of regular scissors and cut the bush. Little branches fell to the ground. I took a step back to 6 my work. Grandpa came back. “Your side looks 7 than mine,” he said.
I was 8 . “You mean my way isn’t wrong?”
“No. Your way works just fine,” Grandpa said.
I was so happy about my means 9 which I could play my role this time. Grandpa cut the big branches and then I cut all the small bits. I couldn’t 10 the top of the bush, so I showed Grandpa my little-scissor cutting techniques. For the most part, he did exactly what I showed him. 11 , sometimes he cut in a strange way. I didn’t 12 him though. His way might have been a little different, but it got the job done 13 .

Passage 21
For most of our history, we horses lived without you. Our story began more than 50 million years ago, long before modern humans a 1 . Our earliest known ancestor (祖先) lived in thick forests. She was small — about the size of a fox. She had four toes on each front foot and three on each back foot.
As the Earth’s climate changed, those forests gave way to open grasslands, and we had to change. We became bigger. Our many toes turned into single, strong hooves (蹄子) that were perfect for r 2 across the fields. Our teeth changed, too. They were no longer f 3 for soft leaves. Instead, they became strong enough to chew (嚼碎) hard grasses. Our brains grew as well, helping us discover danger and r 4 paths. In this way, we would not get lost on the wide grasslands.
We ran wild across North America, Asia and Europe. Then, about 5,500 years ago, something unusual happened. A group of humans in Central Asia tried to tame (驯服) our ancestors. From that moment on, our paths became tied together.
At first, humans used us for meat and milk, as they did with other big grass-eating animals. However, they soon discovered that our speed and strength could help them travel and carry h 5 things. Humans invented special equipment (设备) to help them ride and control us.
W 6 our help, humans could travel farther and faster than ever before. Over time, they didn’t just use us — they depended on us. The Greeks t 7 us for sport, and the Romans used us for war, transport and farming. Along the Silk Roads, we helped carry silk, spices and ideas from one culture to another. In all these cases, we were more than just a 8 ; we were engines of history.
That continued until the 1800s, when another turning point came: industrialization (工业化). Steam engines (蒸汽机), cars, and machines began to take the r 9 of us. Millions of us disappeared from cities and farms. Still, we never truly l 10 . Today, some of us help as therapy animals. Others compete in sports or races. Many of us appear in ceremonial (仪式的) events. Children learn to ride us in camps, where we teach balance, confidence and care.
Our partnership, I believe, is far from over.
Passage 22
Imagine stepping into a room and commanding your computer by simply thinking—no keyboard, no mouse, no voice. This is the promise of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) , devices that decode neural signals into digital commands. In 2025, the first commercially available non-invasive BCI headband, named “Nexus”, went on sale for under $500. The device uses electroencephalography (EEG) to detect patterns associated with focused attention, relaxation, and even imagined movement. Early a 1 have been impressive: users can play simple video games, type at 15 words per minute, and control smart home devices, all without lifting a finger.
But BCIs are not just toys. For people with severe paralysis, they offer a l 2 to communication and independence. In a landmark trial, a patient with locked-in syndrome used a BCI to tell his daughter, “I love you” for the first time in seven years. The words were generated by a computer s 3 but the intent was purely human. However, this technology also raises unsettling q 4 . Who owns the data generated by your brain activity? Could an employer require BCI monitoring to ensure “productivity”? Could a court s 5 your neural patterns as evidence? Current privacy laws have no answer.
The security risks are equally frightening. Researchers have demonstrated that a malicious hacker, given access to a BCI headband’s Bluetooth connection, could e 6 private information — such as whether you recognize a face or feel fear. More disturbingly, they could potentially inject false signals, making you feel anxious or tired without cause. Dr. Nina Khurana, a neuroethicist, warns that we are r 7 toward a future where “brain-hacking” becomes a real crime. She calls for a global treaty to ban the weaponization of BCIs.
Despite the risks, investment is pouring in. Tech giants envision a world where you can search the web by simply thinking of a question, or s 8 a text message without touching your phone. China has included BCI technology in its latest five-year plan, aiming to become a world leader by 2030. Meanwhile, a grassroots movement called “ KeepBrainDataHuman” is pushing for strict r 9 on commercial use. They argue that the brain is the last private sanctuary, and once breached, there is no retreat.
As BCIs become cheaper and more powerful, every one of us will face a choice: embrace the convenience at the cost of mental privacy, or refuse and risk being left behind. Perhaps the most urgent need is not better technology, but wiser g 10 . The future is arriving faster than our laws can run.
Passage 23
An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law and four-year-old grandson. His hands s 1 , his eyesight was poor, and he walked unsteadily.
The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’s shaky hands and poor sight made eating d 2 . Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor, and when he tried to pick them up, the glass of milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and his wife became angry with the m 3 .
“We must do something,” the son said. “I’ve had enough of the spilled milk and food on the floor.”
So the son and his wife placed a small table in the c 4 . There the grandfather ate by h 5 while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner together. Since he had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.
The little grandson watched everything in s 6 One evening, the father noticed the boy playing with some pieces of w 7 . He asked gently, “What are you making?” The boy replied, “I’m making little bowls for you and Mama to eat from when I grow up.”
His w 8 surprised the parents deeply. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening, the husband took Grandfather’s hand and gently l 9 him back to the family table.
For the r 10 of his days, Grandfather ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, the son and his wife no longer seemed to care about the spilled milk or the food on the floor.
Passage 24
You may have seen this photo before: an old fisherman with a bamboo hat standing on a boat. This was how Huang Quande looked in his photos with visitors. He became f 1 and was among the most well-known characters of the Lijiang River in Guilin. Many people b 2 the fisherman on the back of the 20-yuan renminbi is based on his image (形象). Huang passed away at the age of 94 this year.
Fisherman Huang’s life shows the true s 3 of the Lijiang River. He was a man full of kindness and energy. For example, in his nineties, Huang could s 4 row his boat. After becoming a photo model in 2008, he took photos with tourists a 5 the world.
The picture is not just about one man, but c 6 as a special cultural symbol of the Lijiang River. In fact, the most beautiful landscapes in the country a 7 on the different backsides of the fifth series of renminbi. Moreover, they all carry their own cultural v 8 as well.
For example, on the back of the 5-yuan banknote (钞票) is Taishan Mountain in Shandong Province. For thousands of years, many emperors would go there and pray (祈祷) for p 9 and good luck. The renminbi pictures have helped make the classic Chinese landscapes even more p 10 . Many love to find out where the pictures were taken. Pan Jinyu from Chongqing went on a “banknote tour” of China when he was 21 years old, enjoying all the sights that are on renminbi banknotes from 1 yuan to 100 yuan. “I want to finish this meaningful journey and feel the beauty of our country,” Pan said.

China has a long history and rich traditional culture. Intangible cultural heritage is an important part of it. It keeps the good spirit and great wisdom of our country, and it is really v 1 for every Chinese.
There are many kinds of intangible cultural heritage a 2 us. Paper cutting, Chinese opera, folk music and dragon dances are all common and popular. They are bright and beautiful, and they bring us warmth and hope during important festivals. Most of them are made by h 3 , with great care and hard work.
These traditional skills are passed down from generation to generation. Smart and c 4 old masters learn and practise carefully. Now some of these traditional skills are in great danger. Few young people know about them or want to learn them. L 5 , many great masters try their best to keep the skills alive. They practise every day, face d 6 bravely and never give up. They also teach young people and help them fall in love with traditional culture.
Today, more and more young people show great i 7 in intangible cultural heritage. They learn to make paper-cuts, enjoy opera shows and tie beautiful Chinese knots. They take pride in our traditional culture and try to s 8 it to the world. As middle school students, we also should do something to help.
Intangible cultural heritage is not only old stories, but also living culture. It helps us know who we are and where we come from. We must p 9 it well and pass it on. It is important for us to make our culture more colourful and m 10 .
Passage 26
Every night before bed, I write down three things I’m grateful for in a small green notebook. My English teacher, Mrs. Chen, taught me this. She not only teaches us knowledge from textbooks, but also l 1 us to find beauty and warmth in life.
At first, I thought it was a silly task. “F 2 three good things every day,” she said. “They don’t have to be big.”
The first few days were hard. I w 3 things like “lunch was okay” and “no homework in math.” But slowly, something changed. I started noticing small kindnesses I had never noticed before.
Yesterday’s l 4 looked like this:
1. The soft sunshine warmed my face on the way to school. It pushed against the cold wind, lit up the road, and made the whole morning bright and gentle. Such small beauty a 5 me makes every simple day warm.
2. My English textbook stays with me every day. It brings me useful words and knowledge, teaches me to e 6 my feelings clearly, and grows up with me. I am truly thankful for it.
3. My best friend didn’t ask why I was quiet at lunch. She just sat q 7 beside me and shared funny cat videos on her phone. Her silent company (陪伴) made me feel relaxed and warm in my heart.
The strange thing is, the more I write in this notebook, the fuller my life feels. It is like I have discovered a s 8 : gratitude is not about waiting for big, perfect moments. It is about seeing clearly what’s already there, i 9 the quiet help from textbooks and careful teaching from teachers.
Tonight, when I o 10 my green notebook, I’ll write about Mrs. Chen. Because of her, I learned how to say thank you to the world — even on simple days.
