阅读下列学生的烦恼,从A-E的建议中为每位学生选择最合适的一项。
Problems
Advice
1. I'm terrible at remembering English vocabulary. I study for hours but the next day, everything is gone from my memory. It's so discouraging.
2. My family is going on a long driving trip during vacation. My parents won't let me use my phone most of the time. I'm so bored just sitting there. What can I do?
3. I want to be more independent, but my parents check my homework and choose my clothes. How can I show them I can take more responsibility?
4. I spend hours looking at screens for study and fun. My eyes often hurt and feel dry by the evening. I wear glasses but it doesn't seem to help much.
5. My friend group is planning a weekend trip. One friend suggested a place that costs a lot of money. I can't afford it and I'm too embarrassed to say anything.
A. Try the “20-20-20” rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Your eyes need breaks just like you do.
B. Use spaced repetition. Review words after 1 day, 3 days, then 1 week. Write each new word in a funny sentence. Our brains remember stories better than lists.
C. Start a car bingo game! Make a list of things to spot. Listen to an audiobook together. Bring a travel journal to draw what you see.
D. Ask for a small, regular task, like taking out the trash. Complete it perfectly for a month without being reminded. Show, don't just tell.
E. Say, “That sounds fun, but it's out of my budget. How about a picnic in the park or a DIY pizza night?” A true friend will understand.
B篇:阅读理解(共6小题;每小题2分,满分12分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
When we think of matches, we often picture a small wooden stick with a red tip. However, the invention of the friction match was a major step forward for humanity. Before its invention in the 19th century, starting a fire was a difficult chore. People had to use a flint(火石)and steel, a process that took skill, time, and patience. The first modern match was invented by John Walker, an English chemist, in 1826. He discovered that a stick coated with certain chemicals would ignite(点燃)when scraped across a rough surface. His “friction lights” were a sensation, but they had a serious problem: they were unstable and sometimes burst into flames unexpectedly.
Later, a French chemist named Charles Sauria improved the design by using white phosphorus(白磷). This made matches more reliable to strike, but it came at a terrible human cost. Factory workers, mostly women and children, who breathed in white phosphorus fumes developed a painful disease known as “phossy jaw”, which led to severe swelling and even death. This dark chapter in industrial history led to international efforts to find a safer method.
The solution came in the early 20th century with the invention of “safety matches”. These matches were divided into two parts: a special striking surface on the box and a different chemical on the match head. Only when the two were rubbed together would the match light. This invention made matches safe for both the workers who made them and the families who used them. It's a powerful example of how necessity, and sometimes tragedy, drives innovation. The next time you effortlessly strike a match, remember the decades of struggle and sacrifice that led to that small, convenient flame.
1. What was the main problem with John Walker's “friction lights”?
A. They were too expensive to produce.
B. They required a special striking surface.
C. They were dangerously unstable and could ignite by accident.
D. They could not light in wet or windy conditions.
2. What does the underlined word “sensation” in paragraph 1 most likely mean?
A. A great failure.
B. A huge success.
C. A small secret.
D. A dangerous weapon.
3. What was the “terrible human cost” of using white phosphorus matches?
A. Factory workers had to work very long hours.
B. The matches caused serious diseases in workers.
C. The matches were too expensive for ordinary people.
D. The striking surface often failed to work properly.
4. How did safety matches solve the problem?
A. They removed all the dangerous chemicals.
B. They made the striking surface much softer.
C. They used a new chemical that doesn't need striking.
D. They required the match head and box surface to work together.
5. What lesson does the author mainly want to teach with this text?
A. Progress is always safe and easy.
B. Chemistry is the most important science.
C. Great inventions often come from solving serious problems.
D. Matches are still the best way to start a fire today.
6. What is the author's attitude towards the invention of the safety match?
A. Admiring and reflective.
B. Doubtful and critical.
C. Uninterested and bored.
D. Humorous and light-hearted.

For years, my grandfather had a wooden box sitting on his desk. He told me it contained “life's secrets”. When I turned 15, he finally let me open it. Inside were 1 ______ not jewels, but a single, burnt match, a small stone, and a faded photograph of a young man in uniform. “That's me,” he said, pointing to the photo. “I was 18, about to go to war. That 2 ______ is from the last campfire we had before leaving. We sang songs, trying to drown out our fear. We used that match to light it.”
He picked up the stone. “This is from the beach at Normandy. I 3 ______ it from the shore on a morning after the battle. The sand was 4 ______ red and grey. I put it in my pocket to remind myself that I had survived.” He then looked at me, his eyes serious. “These objects are 5 ______ the things themselves. They are anchors(锚)for memories. That match taught me the warmth of friendship in dark times. That stone taught me the value of peace. Your memories, no matter how 6 ______ or joyful, are your true wealth. They are the story of who you are.” I finally understood. The box wasn't storing objects; it was guarding the very core of my grandfather's life.

D篇:回答问题(共6小题;每小题2分,满分12分)
阅读下面短文,然后根据内容回答下列问题。
Robot Baristas: The Future of Your Morning Coffee?
In Seoul, South Korea, a cafe called ‘Cafe BOT’ is serving coffee without any human staff. A robotic arm, programmed by a company called ‘System 21’, handles the entire process. It takes the order, grinds the coffee beans, pours hot water at the perfect temperature, and even creates beautiful latte art. Each drink is made with remarkable repetition and accuracy, never getting tired or distracted. The whole process takes about two minutes.
The cafe opened in early 2025 and has become a popular tourist attraction as a whole. Visitors watch with admiration as the sleek, white robot moves with mechanical grace. “It's indeed amazing to see the precision,” said one customer. “But somehow, it feels a bit awkward not having a smiling person to say ‘Have a nice day’.” This human touch, the simple exchange of a greeting or a shared laugh, is something a machine cannot truly replace. The robot can get the drink across perfectly, but it cannot share in your good mood or offer a tissue(纸巾)if you're having a bad day. As this technology lowers costs for business owners, it also raises a question: what are we losing as we remove these small, daily human interactions?
Task 1: Answer the following questions based on the passage.
1. Is the coffee-making process at ‘Cafe BOT’ completed by a human barista or a robot arm?(一般疑问句/选择疑问句)

(参考范文见下方)
Dear Chris,
I'm glad to hear that you're interested in my family traditions. There is one tradition that is especially close to my heart. Every Sunday evening, regardless of how busy we are, our whole family gathers in the living room to share a “Gratitude Moment.” We turn off all our phones and take turns talking about one small, good thing that happened during the past week. It could be as simple as helping a classmate, tasting a delicious meal, or seeing a beautiful sunset.
This tradition is important to us because it strengthens our bond as a whole family. It's not just about sharing happy news; sometimes we share our struggles, and we help each other. It teaches us to appreciate the small joys in life, which might otherwise be forgotten. It has become a source of laughter, comfort, and wisdom for me. I look forward to it every single week.
What is your family's special tradition? I'd love to hear about it.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
