Health First,Sports for All
To promote students'physical and mental health,our school has launched a new sports plan
under the theme "Health First,Sports for All."
Every student is encouraged to master at least one sport.Class leagues and school leagues have
been organized,and rooftops have been turned into "sky playgrounds"where we jump rope,play
ball,and enjoy climbing activities during breaks.The whole campus is full of energy.
The plan has brought great changes to my classmates.Many have become more energetic and
focused in class.Some who used to avoid exercise now look forward to every break on the
playground.Most importantly,we are developing a lifelong habit of staying active-a true gift for
our health
读后续写
When we arrived,Mrs Lee opened the door with a surprised look.Her tired eyes softened the
instant I handed her the cookies and expressed our sincere apology.After we were invited in,Tom
said sory again for the disturbance and promised to practice in the community park from then on.To
our surprise,Mr Lee wore a smile and said to Tom,"We appreciate your kindness and passion for
music.You may continue practising at home.How about adjusting the time for your drumming?"
Tom agreed without hesitation.
After a discussion,they agreed on a new schedule for drum practice.Tom decided to shift his
one-hour practice to 7 pm to 8 pm,a time when Mrs.Lee had woken up from her afternoon rest and
Mr.Lee had finished his most intensive writing work.Satisfied with the thoughtful arrangement,the
Lees praised Tom for his sincerity and consideration.From then on,Tom stuck to the new schedule
strictly.The awkward atmosphere between the two families disappeared completely.The once
annoying drumbeats turned into harmonious music bridging our two families,teaching us that mutual
understanding is the best way to settle conflicts
2:Empathy and understanding can always turn division into connection/turn walls into
bridges.

Kyle Lybarger,.often dressed in camo(迷彩服),doesn't look like a typical social media
influencer.Yet,as a forest worker in Alabama,he has found unexpected internet fame by introducing
his followers to the overlooked world of southeastern plants.Today,he acts as a guardian for
growing rare and endangered plant populations.Ironically,his conservation journey began with an
ecological mistake.
英语共10页第2页
A decade ago,while managing a private forest,Lybarger wanted to attract more deer and wild
turkeys.He chose an open,rocky area,deciding it would be a good place to plant food for wildlife
He used herbicide )to clear existing plants,sowing a foreign seed fix.In the dry,shallow soil,
the seeds didn't take.But around the edges of the land,where he hadn't used herbicide,a
breathtaking picture of colorful,unfamiliar native flowers came into view in the sunlight
After Lybarger posted the photos of the flowers online,a local botanist reached out,identifying
the flowers as rare species.Lybarger realized he had nearly killed off an area with a wild seed bank
of countless species just to plant a few foreign ones.That's really a light bulb moment(灵光一闪),”
he recalls.He recognized this reflected a common human tendency to dominate rather than coexist
with nature.Diving into research,he learned that before human settlement,the Southeast was home
to expansive grasslands.Over the centuries,human development and fire control allowed foreign
trees choked out the once-diverse grasslands,killing native species.
Finding a new mission,Lybarger now knocks on doors to instruct landowners who are
unknowing hosts of rare plants to care for those populations.He also uses his massive online
platform to raise funds to protect biodiversity.His secret sauce,which immediately carried like
wildfire across the nation,is his genuine passion.Lybarger's story proves that true environmental
protection begins when we stop rewriting nature and learn to read it.
24.What made the native flowers come out?
A.Herbicide-free soil.
B.Wildlife waste
C.Foreign-seed removal.
D.Sufficient sunlight.
25.What does Lybarger's "light bulb moment"indicate?
A.He found a new planting trick.
B.He doubted the expert's words.
C.He decided to study botany
D.He regretted human intervention
26.What does Lybarger's current work involve?
A.Building online platforms.
B.Selling his secret sauce for money.
C.Learning conservation rules
D.Educating landowners on rare plants.
27.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.A Campaign Redefines Nature
B.A Mistake Awakens a Guardian
C.Secrets to Growing Native Plants
D.Hidden Wealth of Vast Grasslands

Hundreds of teenagers have walked in through the doors of Britain's National Centre for
Gaming Disorders since it opened.Lately,however,it has admitted a small but steady stream of
different patients-67 people over the age of 40.The oldest,addicted to games on her smartphone,
was 72.

As today's 60-somethings enter retirement.time spent on smart devices is shooting up."They
are increasingly living their lives through their phones,the way teenagers sometimes do",says Dr.
Ipsit Vahia.
The elderly have long been champion television-watchers.Now,however,the newly retired
are the most enthusiastic adopters of digital devices.Combining TV and smart devices,those of
retirement age clock up more daily screen time than young adults.
In countries where the trend is most advanced,people are starting to worry about elderly
smartphone users in the same way that they worry about teens.A study in South Korea estimated that
15%of those aged 60 to 69 were at risk of phone addiction.Research from Japan found screen time
was associated with less physical activity among the elderly,while a survey in China linked it to
worse sleep.
With more screen time,older people face some online risks that teenagers do not.Their
phones and tablets are often linked to bank accounts.In-game purchases can empty wallets,and bad
guys can rob victims within the same app.Moreover,they also lack the social guardrails that regulate
teenagers'screen time.During the day,teachers police teens'phone usage,while parents do the
reminding in the evening.By contrast,elderly people are their own bosses and may not have
someone to guide them towards help.
Yet an increase in screen time among the elderly is by no means all bad.Messaging apps bring
family closer.Gaming kills the time.Spotify and YouTube serve as a reminder of childhood,
bringing back music and videos.For better or worse,seniors'screen time has much further to grow.
28.What trend does the text mainly highlight?
A.Seniors are using IT devices more than youths.
B.Screen use is rising among older adults.
C.Uncontrolled gaming is emerging as a concern.
D.Internet is reshaping the retirement life.
29.What concern is raised about elderly smartphone users?
A.They may become socially separated.
B.Their phone use limits their activities.
C.They are unaware of digital addiction
D.Their screen use affects their health.
30.What can we infer from paragraph 5?
A.Greater personal freedom heightens digital risks.
B.Older adults are the main target of online crimes
C.Financial links on digital devices cause money loss
D.External guidance prevents unsafe online behavior
31.Why are messaging apps and media platforms mentioned?
A.To show benefits of screen use.
B.To explain seniors'preferences.
C.To stress entertainment choices.
D.To predict future screen growth.

A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering the next wave of electric
vehicles (EVs).
Most EVs in the world today are powered by lithium-ion (batteries,which perform
differently in cold and warm weather.In low temperatures,most lithium-ion batteries would deliver
only a very small fraction of their original capacity unless the pack has an active heating system.
Batteries store and release energy by moving charged particles (between electrodes,the two
ends of a battery,through an electrolyte,a substance that allows electricity to move,cold
temperatures make those processes inactive.
To address the issue,a leading battery producer says its sodium-ion (pack can keep
charging and delivering power far below freezing.As the name implies,sodium-ion batteries replace
lithium with sodium,an element found widely in salts.Although sodium ions are larger,they form
weaker bonds with the liquid electrolyte than lithium does.This allows them to move much more
easily than lithium ions,even when the cold thickens the electrolyte.
Consequently,while cold weather slows all ions down,sodium-based systems are less affected,
preserving more power and capacity in winter.Laboratory data suggest that at-30C,this battery can
deliver nearly three times the discharge power of equivalent lithium iron phosphate (LFP)batteries,
the cheap,standard-range batteries that dominate the EV market.It can charge to 90 percent full
when the temperature drops to -40C and achieves "stable power delivery"at -50C in test
conditions.
Still,the young supply chain means manufacturing these batteries is currently about 30 percent
more expensive,realistically pushing mass production toward the end of this decade."We should be
looking into lowering the cost while maintaining their strong performance at low temperatures,"says
Phate Zhang,an EV news founder.
32.What do we know about lithium-ion EVs?
A.They need much higher maintenance fees
B.Their power system can be unstable sometimes.
C.Their power output might be affected by the cold
D.They lose capacity in extreme weather conditions
33.Why do sodium-ion batteries work better in cold weather?
A.They move much faster than lithium ones.
B.They are larger and more active in the electrolyte
C.Their electrolyte stays less affected by low temperatures.
D.They interact more weakly with the electrolyte than lithium ions do.
34.How does the author show the superiority of sodium-ion batteries?
A.By quoting experts
B.By analyzing causes
C.By describing a process
D.By making comparisons.
英语共10页第5页
35.What is Phate Zhang's suggestion about?
A.Possible direction for future study
B.Choice of new research methods
C.Need to involve more researchers.
D.Potential application of the finding.

The rush home for the Spring Festival's festivities each year,known as the chunyun,is a
cultural moment in China.Many recall hard-won tickets,long queues,crowded trains,and shared
snacks with strangers.36 But changes in the chunyun show new social trends in China.
China's population is shrinking,yet the holiday travel rush keeps growing.Officials monitor
travel over a 40-day period around the break and expect a record of 9.5 billion trips this year,up
from 8.4 billion in 2024.37 Although visiting family and friends remains the primary
purpose,many travelers now also make time for tourism during the chunyun.
Modes of transport are shifting,too.Officials estimate that four-fifths of people use private
transport,including cars and vans.And train travel is getting more popular.A decade ago,11%of
journeys that used commercial transport involved a train,last year,this stood at 28%.This time the
share is expected to be higher as China's high-speed rail network continues to expand.38
Much travel still takes place east of the Heihe-Tengchong line,which geographers use to divide
China into its densely and sparsely (populated parts.But calculations show that the share of
trips taking place within a province was up.It all suggests that China is developing regional
economic groups,and migration mostly takes place within these.39 One of the busiest
routes was from Xi'an to Xianyang,a city of about 4 million people,just 24km away.
40_China is starting to allow electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft(垂直升降飞
for commercial use as part of its push for a "low-altitude economy".One company based in
Shanghai has started offering flights to nearby cities this year,allowing people to take to the air for
destinations just a short hop away
A.Travel during the chunyun will continue to evolve.
B.Many cannot afford to board the speediest trains,however.
C.There were 2,000km of track in 2010 and 50,000km at the end of 2025.
D.Such scenes once captured a true picture of how millions traveled home
E.One factor behind the rise is that trips are no longer just about family reunions.
F.The most popular journeys connect big economic centers and their satellite cities.
G.Given testing economic conditions,holidaymakers are spending less than they did before.

I never really noticed my father's hands until I was leaving for college.They were rough,
covered with calluses ()and marked with tiny scars.For years,those hands had been the

Mr.and Mrs.Lee moved into the apartment next door in early September.At first,we
exchanged polite smiles when passing by,but things changed soon.My younger brother,Tom,was
crazy about playing the drums.He'd been dreaming of joining the school's music band and practiced
hard every evening right after finishing his homework,usually from 5 pm to 6 pm.He said the loud
beats helped him release stress from a day of studying.However,our thin apartment walls turned his
practice sessions into a headache for the Lees.
Mrs.Lee worked night shifts at the hospital.She relied on the afternoons to sleep and recharge
for the next shift,but the drumbeats would wake her up repeatedly.Mr.Lee,a freelance writer who
worked from home,needed complete quiet to focus on his stories,but the constant
"boom-boom-boom"would break his train of thought.We didn't notice their trouble at first;Tom
always closed his bedroom door when practicing,and we thought that would reduce the noise
enough.

One Tuesday evening,Mr.Lee knocked on our door.His face looked serious,and I could tell he
was upset."I'm sorry to bother you,"he said,"but the drum noise has been making it hard for my
wife to rest and me to work.We've tried closing the windows,but it still doesn't help much."My
parents apologized immediately,but Tom felt wronged.He argued that he only practiced for an hour
each day and had nowhere else to play.For the next few days,the atmosphere between our two
families became awkward.We stopped greeting each other,and the walls seemed to grow thicker
Deciding to fix the situation,my mom baked a plate of chocolate cookies-Mrs.Lee's favorite.
