C From the start of the spring semester (学期) in 2025, many primary and middle school students in Hebei Province have longer breaks between classes, and it changes from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. The change aims to encourage students to spend time outdoors for their physical and mental (心理的) health. Many students are happy about this change. Xiao Jingsheng is one of them. “In the past, during the break between classes, I often had to run to the toilet and then back to class with no time for anything else. But now things are distinct (不同的). I can have more time to rest and share interesting things with my classmates,” Xiao said. To help children better enjoy break time activities, some schools mix break time with labour (劳动) education by setting up planting areas and animal breeding (饲养) areas. In this way, students can play with the animals or plant vegetables or flowers with their own hands during the break. Some other schools open up activity areas both indoors and outdoors, such as labs, and spaces for chess games. After the break time between classes is longer, students have more smiles on their faces. This change makes school life more colourful! 32. Why do schools change the break time? A.

Which question can help readers know the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Who decided to make this change? B. What do students think of the change? C. How do schools help students enjoy the break? D. Where can students have break-time activities? 35. What does the author think of longer breaks? A. Longer breaks help sleep better B. Longer breaks bring more smiles C. Longer breaks bring safety problems D. Longer breaks show a bright future D Studying is important to students. But it is always difficult to have much time for every subject you learn. A good plan can help you to make sure of your success in study. Because it can help you make good use of time. Then, how to make a study plan? Well, you can begin by listing all the subjects you need to study and make sure what you need to do for each subject. Next, you should make a decision on how much time different subjects need. Now, it is a good idea to study at the same time every day. In this way, you actually have a plan you can remember well. While arranging time for each subject, make sure that you still have time for family, friends and rest. You should balance your personal life and your study. Once the plan is made, the next thing you need to do is to follow it. One of the biggest challenges is that you will be tempted to do something relaxing or fun. Luckily, you can fight this temptation by taking breaks. But be sure not to take too long a break because it can affect (影响) your plan. Also, you need to use your break wisely. For example, go for a short walk, eat a small snack, or listen to some music. Put up a copy of your study guide at home so you and your family can see it, and email a copy to your friends so they know when you have free time. 36. Why can a good plan make sure of your success in study? A. It can help you use time well. B. It can save time. C. It can give you more time. D. It can make you like studying. 37. Why is it a good idea to study at the same time every day? A. Because you can study well. B. Because you can remember the plan well. C. Because you can form a good habit. D. Because you will love study. 38. What does the underlined word “temptation” mean in Chinese? A. 邀请 B. 乐趣 C. 诱惑 D. 倾向 39. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Put up a copy of your study guide at home. B. Make family and friends know your plan. C. Your family and friends know when you have free time. D. Email a copy to your friends. 40. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Following the study plan B. How to use time well in study C. A good plan will help you succeed in study D. Making a study plan VIII. 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，回答问题。 There are many holidays and festivals. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for the old people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on September 9th in the lunar calendar. On this day, people wish the elderly health and longevity. There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we hand a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus. Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old. In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of old people. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休), they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well. Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains or buses. They can get discounts (折扣) in stores and restaurants. But Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home. A great smile and a warm hug to the parents are enough for grown children to show their respect. 41.
