They run about 400 meters through thick and sticky mud. Though it looks funny, the race has a serious goal. It helps raise money for local charities. In past years, it has raised tens of thousands of pounds to help people in Essex. ____________________________ On April 30, students at Gaomi Chaoyang Middle School in Shandong held a barbecue (烧烤) at the school’s food culture festival. They worked as shopkeepers, selling food and calling for customers. The school playground became a fun market. Teachers, students and parents could buy things with their special “campus coins”, which are exchanged for real money. Part of the activity’s donation would go to a local charity for children in need. Pies in the Face for a Good Cause In March, students and teachers at a school in Canada held a special “Pie-a-Teacher” activity. After a competition and fundraising, the top class won the right to throw cream pies at three brave teachers — in front of the whole school.

It helps raise money for local charities.”直接指出这个活动目的是为慈善筹款。 【28题详解】 第二则新闻的主要内容是：学生们在学校美食文化节上做烧烤，所得收入用于帮助有需要的儿童。“Love Barbecue”既点明了活动内容（烧烤），也体现了“爱心”主题。 【29题详解】 原文第三段“...the event raised about $1,200, all given to a local children’s hospital.”指出，这项活动帮助了当地儿童医院。 【30题详解】 三则新闻的共同点是：Mud Race为当地慈善机构筹款；校园烧烤获得的部分收益捐赠给当地儿童慈善机构；Pie-a-Teacher筹集的钱捐赠给当地儿童医院，这三个活动都是为了帮助有需要的人。 B “Ya Habibi!”—this friendly greeting often opens the videos of a popular food blogger known as “Laowang”. With a big smile and a bowl of noodles in hand, he invites viewers to taste the flavors (风味) of China. But behind his warm face lies a story of survival and hope. Laowang, whose real name is Ahmed Mohammed Jabbar, was born in Iraq in 1994. When war broke out in his hometown, he lost everything. In 2014, he fled to China as a refugee (难民). Life was terribly hard at first. He couldn’t speak Chinese and had no money. For months, he lived alone, feeling lost. “I cried many nights. I didn’t know if I could make it,” he later recalled (回想). Instead of giving up, Laowang decided to change his life. He taught himself Chinese by watching TV and talking to local people. To make a living, he started making short videos about Chinese street food. He visited night markets, tried different snacks, and shared his true feelings. His joyful personality quickly won people’s hearts. One video, in which he tasted spicy hot pot for the first time, became a hit online. What makes Laowang special is not just the food—it’s the love he shows for China. “When I first arrived, strangers helped me find my way. They shared their meals with me. That warmth made me feel at home,” he once said. Today, he has millions of fans. Many viewers say his videos make them happy and remind them to be thankful. Laowang believes that food connects people from different cultures. “China gave me a second chance at life. Now I want to give back by sharing joy with everyone,” he said. His story shows how one person can turn pain into purpose—one bite of food at a time. 31. What does the underlined word “fled” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Got back. B. Ran away. C. Went out. D. Set off. 32. Why did Laowang start making short videos? A. To learn Chinese. B. To support himself. C. To become famous. D. To introduce Iraqi food. 33. What makes Laowang’s videos so popular? A. His love for China. B. The delicious food. C. His experiences in Iraq. D. His sunny character. 34. What can we learn from Laowang’s story? A. A positive attitude can help get over difficulties. B. Making videos is an easy way to become rich. C. People from rich countries are always happy. D. Living in another country has more chances. 35. What would be the BEST title for this article? A. Laowang’s Best Wishes B. Tasty Street Food in China C. From War to Warmth in Life D. A Refugee Loving Chinese food 【答案】31. B 32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述伊拉克难民老王来到中国，依靠短视频记录中国美食，走出人生困境、收获百万粉丝的暖心故事，主题为苦难之中坚守乐观、传递烟火温暖。 【31题详解】 根据第二段“When war broke out in his hometown, he lost everything. In 2014, he fled to China as a refugee.”可知，家乡爆发战争，他失去了一切，作为难民来到中国。在此语境下，“fled”意为“逃离、逃跑”，与“Ran away”意思相近。 【32题详解】 根据第三段“To make a living, he started making short videos about Chinese street food.”可知，为了谋生（make a living），他开始制作短视频，即为了养活自己（support himself）。 【33题详解】 根据第四段原文第三段“His joyful personality quickly won people’s hearts”，可知他的乐观开朗的性格打动了观众，是视频出圈的核心原因。 【34题详解】 根据第三段“Instead of giving up, Laowang decided to change his life."以及最后一段"His story shows how one person can turn pain into purpose”可知，老王没有放弃，而是将痛苦转化为目标，这说明积极的态度有助于克服困难。 【35题详解】 通读全文可知，文章讲述了伊拉克难民老王因战争逃离家乡（War），在中国得到帮助并通过视频分享温暖与希望（Warmth），最终找到人生目标的故事。选项C“From War to Warmth in Life”最能概括这一从苦难到温暖的心路历程。 C In today’s fast-paced world, we read more than ever before—but are we really reading? We scan news headlines, skim (略读) social media posts, and jump between short messages. This kind of quick reading is called “digital reading (数字阅读)”. While it helps us get information fast, experts warn that it may be changing our brains for the worse. A study by the University of Valencia found that people who spend too much time on digital screens have difficulty focusing on long texts. Their ability to understand deep ideas becomes weaker. Professor Maryanne Wolf, a reading researcher at UCLA, calls this “the skimming habit.” She explains that when we read quickly online, our brains lose the skill of slow, thoughtful reading. In her book Reader, Come Home, she warns that this change could affect how we think, feel, and even connect with others. So what is “slow reading”? It means taking time to enjoy each sentence, thinking about the meaning, and letting the words create pictures in your mind. Unlike scrolling (滚动) through a phone screen, slow reading allows you to enter a different world — a world where you can think deeply and feel fully. For example, when you read a novel slowly, you can imagine the characters, smell the air described, and truly experience the story. Many schools are now introducing “digital detox (戒断)” programs. Students are asked to put away their phones and read paper books for at least 30 minutes every day. Teachers report that after just a few weeks, students become more patient and better at understanding difficult materials (材料). Some students even say they enjoy reading again for the first time in years. “Reading is not just about getting information,” says Dr. Wolf. “It’s about learning to think. And that takes time.” In a world full of noise and speed, maybe we all need to slow down—and rediscover the joy of reading. 36. What may people do when they do “digital reading”? A. Think deeply. B. Read fast. C. Read more. D. Write long. 37. What may happen if people spend too much time on screens? A. They can read faster and think more deeply. B. They find it hard to develop “the skimming habit”. C. They develop the skill of slow, thoughtful reading. D. They easily lose their attention when reading novels. 38. Which picture shows what “slow reading” is? A. B. C. D. 39. How do “digital detox” programs affect students a few weeks later? A. They start using their phones more wisely. B. They become less interested in reading. C. They show improved patience and understanding. D. They spend up to 30 minutes on reading. 40. What does the passage mainly introduce? A. How to read faster on digital screens. B. The “skimming habit” and its problems. C. A study from the University of Valencia. D. Digital reading and the call for slow reading. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38.

He had always dreamed of becoming a doctor, so he first came to China to study ____11____ at Fudan University in Shanghai. During the Labor Day holiday last year, instead of traveling like many of his classmates, he decided to do something more ____12____—he volunteered at Yuyuan Garden, one of Shanghai’s most famous places. The job sounded ____13____ at first: helping visitors with directions from an information desk. But Tawanda soon realized that even something so easy could come with unexpected ____14____. On his second day, Chen Rui, an elderly Chinese volunteer, came up to him and said, “When you show directions, don’t ____15____ with your finger—use your whole hand. Pointing with one finger is considered ____16____ in our culture.” “Really? I had no idea!” Tawanda said, surprised and a little ____17____. He never knew this small but important detail although he had been in China for years. “Don’t worry. You’ll ____18____ the habit quickly,” Chen Rui said with a warm smile. Soon, a family from Hubei stopped at the desk. Their young son looked at Tawanda and shouted, “Waiguoren!”, which means “foreigner” in Chinese. Tawanda smiled and asked ____19____ they needed help. The father ____20____at first, unsure if this foreigner could really understand him. “He is our foreign friend who came here to ____21____,” Chen Rui added. “He can speak Chinese.” Encouraged by her words, the father came closer and they began to chat. He curiously asked Tawanda why many people in his country eat with their hands. Tawanda ____22____ that it’s part of the culture—traditional dishes are better eaten with hands, and chopsticks wouldn’t work for them. “Can you use chopsticks?” the father asked. Tawanda laughed. “It took me years to ____23____ it.” The father laughed too, and they talked about many things: food, festivals, and life.

Recently, hundreds of people took part in the Mud Race in Maldon, Essex. It is a special and fun race with a long history. Now, about 300 people take part every year. They run about 400 meters through thick and sticky mud. Though it looks funny, the race has a serious goal. It helps raise money for local charities. In past years, it has raised tens of thousands of pounds to help people in Essex. ____________________________ On April 30, students at Gaomi Chaoyang Middle School in Shandong held a barbecue (烧烤) at the school’s food culture festival. They worked as shopkeepers, selling food and calling for customers. The school playground became a fun market. Teachers, students and parents could buy things with their special “campus coins”, which are exchanged for real money. Part of the activity’s donation would go to a local charity for children in need. Pies in the Face for a Good Cause In March, students and teachers at a school in Canada held a special “Pie-a-Teacher” activity. After a competition and fundraising, the top class won the right to throw cream pies at three brave teachers — in front of the whole school. Laughter filled the hall, and the event raised about $1,200, all given to a local children’s hospital. It shows that kind hearts can hide behind the silliest games. 26. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news? A. FUNTIME. B. SPORTS. C. SCIENCE. D. HEALTH. 27. What is the purpose of the Mud Race? A. To hold sports matches. B. To build local mud parks. C. To raise money for charity. D. To introduce UK customs. 28. What would be the best heading for the second piece of news? A. Special Coins B. Love Barbecue C. Food Culture D. A Fun Market 29. What can we learn about the “Pie-a-Teacher” activity? A. It was held in a special school. B. It helped a children’s hospital. C. It made teachers feel embarrassed. D. It was the silliest game in Canada. 30. What do the three pieces of news have in common? A. They take place in Europe. B. They are all school games. C. They need expensive tools. D. They help people in need. B “Ya Habibi!”—this friendly greeting often opens the videos of a popular food blogger known as “Laowang”. With a big smile and a bowl of noodles in hand, he invites viewers to taste the flavors (风味) of China. But behind his warm face lies a story of survival and hope. Laowang, whose real name is Ahmed Mohammed Jabbar, was born in Iraq in 1994. When war broke out in his hometown, he lost everything. In 2014, he fled to China as a refugee (难民). Life was terribly hard at first. He couldn’t speak Chinese and had no money. For months, he lived alone, feeling lost. “I cried many nights. I didn’t know if I could make it,” he later recalled (回想). Instead of giving up, Laowang decided to change his life. He taught himself Chinese by watching TV and talking to local people. To make a living, he started making short videos about Chinese street food. He visited night markets, tried different snacks, and shared his true feelings. His joyful personality quickly won people’s hearts. One video, in which he tasted spicy hot pot for the first time, became a hit online. What makes Laowang special is not just the food—it’s the love he shows for China. “When I first arrived, strangers helped me find my way. They shared their meals with me. That warmth made me feel at home,” he once said. Today, he has millions of fans. Many viewers say his videos make them happy and remind them to be thankful. Laowang believes that food connects people from different cultures. “China gave me a second chance at life. Now I want to give back by sharing joy with everyone,” he said. His story shows how one person can turn pain into purpose—one bite of food at a time. 31. What does the underlined word “fled” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Got back. B. Ran away. C. Went out. D. Set off. 32. Why did Laowang start making short videos? A. To learn Chinese. B. To support himself. C. To become famous. D. To introduce Iraqi food. 33. What makes Laowang’s videos so popular? A. His love for China. B. The delicious food. C. His experiences in Iraq. D. His sunny character. 34. What can we learn from Laowang’s story? A. A positive attitude can help get over difficulties. B. Making videos is an easy way to become rich. C. People from rich countries are always happy. D. Living in another country has more chances. 35. What would be the BEST title for this article? A. Laowang’s Best Wishes B. Tasty Street Food in China C. From War to Warmth in Life D. A Refugee Loving Chinese food C In today’s fast-paced world, we read more than ever before—but are we really reading? We scan news headlines, skim (略读) social media posts, and jump between short messages. This kind of quick reading is called “digital reading (数字阅读)”. While it helps us get information fast, experts warn that it may be changing our brains for the worse. A study by the University of Valencia found that people who spend too much time on digital screens have difficulty focusing on long texts. Their ability to understand deep ideas becomes weaker. Professor Maryanne Wolf, a reading researcher at UCLA, calls this “the skimming habit.” She explains that when we read quickly online, our brains lose the skill of slow, thoughtful reading. In her book Reader, Come Home, she warns that this change could affect how we think, feel, and even connect with others. So what is “slow reading”? It means taking time to enjoy each sentence, thinking about the meaning, and letting the words create pictures in your mind. Unlike scrolling (滚动) through a phone screen, slow reading allows you to enter a different world — a world where you can think deeply and feel fully. For example, when you read a novel slowly, you can imagine the characters, smell the air described, and truly experience the story. Many schools are now introducing “digital detox (戒断)” programs. Students are asked to put away their phones and read paper books for at least 30 minutes every day. Teachers report that after just a few weeks, students become more patient and better at understanding difficult materials (材料). Some students even say they enjoy reading again for the first time in years. “Reading is not just about getting information,” says Dr. Wolf. “It’s about learning to think. And that takes time.” In a world full of noise and speed, maybe we all need to slow down—and rediscover the joy of reading. 36. What may people do when they do “digital reading”? A. Think deeply. B. Read fast. C. Read more. D. Write long. 37. What may happen if people spend too much time on screens? A. They can read faster and think more deeply. B. They find it hard to develop “the skimming habit”. C. They develop the skill of slow, thoughtful reading. D. They easily lose their attention when reading novels. 38. Which picture shows what “slow reading” is? A. B. C. D. 39. How do “digital detox” programs affect students a few weeks later? A. They start using their phones more wisely. B. They become less interested in reading. C. They show improved patience and understanding. D. They spend up to 30 minutes on reading. 40. What does the passage mainly introduce? A. How to read faster on digital screens. B. The “skimming habit” and its problems. C. A study from the University of Valencia. D. Digital reading and the call for slow reading. 第II卷（非选择题共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、语意和逻辑上正确。（提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。） teamwork/work together/wild/warned/thick/warmly/missing The Tibetan antelope lives on the cold Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
