三、回答问题
Deep in wet forests all over the world, some rare small plants live underground. Sometimes they grow flowers above the ground. These bright little flowers earn them the name “fairy lanterns”.
Even though they have a magical name, these plants of the Thismia group are like “monsters (怪物)” in biology. They cannot make their own food because they have no green chlorophyll (叶绿素). Instead, they get food from fungi (真菌) that live underground.
Scientists had already known about 120 kinds of fairy lanterns. But now, a new kind has been found in Malaysia. It is called Thismia selangorensis. However, people have found fewer than 20 of these plants so far, so this plant may be at great risk of disappearing.
In November 2023, Gim Siew Tan, a nature expert, first saw the new plant. It grew near the roots of a tree by a river in a popular picnic area. The plant was about 4 inches tall. Its flowers grew out of the soil and looked like peach-coloured umbrellas.
Tan took photos and posted them on the website for citizen scientists. These photos were noticed by expert Siti-Munirah Mat Yunoh. She quickly realized that this was a new, unknown species.
Later, the research team looked for more of these plants and found fewer than 20. People can recognize this species by its special flowers, coral-shaped roots, and other features. The team named it Thismia selangorensis to honour Selangor, the state where it was found.
Siti-Munirah said, “This discovery shows us that important scientific finds do not only happen in faraway rain forests. They can also be found in common places where many people often go.”
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。每题答案不超过 8 个词。
1.Where do fairy lanterns mainly live?
2.What problem is the new plant facing now?
3.How did the new species become known to scientists?
4.What makes the new plant special?
5.What can we learn from this discovery?

三、阅读理解。
Drink hot water. Start your day with a bowl of warm, comforting porridge. These pieces of advice may seem too simple to Chinese people—these are their daily routines. But for people around the world who are interested in modern Chinese lifestyles, these are useful tips worth learning and following.
Video creator Sherry XiiRuii began posting funny and interesting guides about ordinary Chinese habits on social media in 2025, using the topic tag #BecomingChinese. At that time, she probably did not expect her videos to get millions of views, nor did she think they would become a popular social media craze.
Within just two months, she made more than 20 videos in this series, which are designed as useful guide to “becoming Chinese”. Each video averaged 1 million views.
In the videos, this Chinese-American creator shares her ideas in a lively way, explaining how Chinese people think about health and daily family habits. She has more than 9 million followers on the internet, and her success has led many people to copy her style online.
This craze has also gone beyond daily routines, creating new crazes like #Chinamaxxing. This shows that more and more people online admire China’s city development, public safety, and modern convenient services. For many people, China’s achievements in these areas provide another good choice besides the Western way of living.
In an interview, XiiRuii made an important point: in America, most people’s understanding of Chinese culture is still not deep. But introducing simple, easy-to-follow daily habits has given people around the world a helpful way to learn about Chinese culture.

A. By listing opinions only. B. By showing facts and examples.
C. By giving questions and answers. D. By comparing different countries.
( )4. What will most probably happen next according to the last paragraph?
A. Western lifestyles will disappear soon.
B. Sherry will stop making videos suddenly.
C. More people will learn Chinese culture in daily life.
D. Foreigners will find Chinese culture hard to understand.

【答案】1.successfully 2.entering 3. controlling 4. to wash 5.supporting 6.Dig 7.peanuts
8.used 9.celebrations 10.pity
【解析】
1. successfully 解析:修饰动词 sent 要用副词,success(名词,成功)→ successfully(副词,成功地)。 句意:希望工程近来已经成功送许多贫困孩子上学。
2. entering 解析:before 此处是介词,介词后接动词要用动名词 doing 形式。 句意:进老师办公室前你最好先敲门。
3. controlling 解析:by 是介词,表示 “通过某种方式”,后面动词用动名词;control 双写 l 加 - ing。 句意:谭盾通过控制水流的速度创作音乐。
4. to wash 解析:go on to do sth. 做完一件事后接着去做另一件不同的事;前文做完晚饭,接下来洗衣服,两件不同的事,用 to do。 辨析:go on doing sth. 持续做同一件事。
5. supporting 解析:固定搭配 devote…to doing sth. 献身于 / 致力于……,此处 to 是介词,后接动名词。 句意:你有没有想过倾尽一生去扶持各类慈善机构?
6. Dig 解析:本句是祈使句,以动词原形开头;挖 dig,句首首字母大写。 句意:挖一个坑,放进种子,盖上土,浇水,然后等待。
7. peanuts 解析:peanut 花生,可数名词;前面无冠词,用复数表一类事物。 句意:林鼠吃各种各样的食物,比如花生、水果等等。
8. used 解析:修饰名词 things,需要形容词;use 动词→ used 形容词,意为 “用过的、旧的”。used things 废旧物品。 句意:如今,捡拾废旧物品再利用的潮流在中国逐渐兴起。
9. celebrations 解析:future 后接名词;celebrate 动词,名词形式 celebration;此处泛指各类庆祝活动,用复数 celebrations。 句意:不要邮寄纸质贺卡给亲友,发送电子贺卡用于日后各类庆祝活动。

三、回答问题
Deep in wet forests all over the world, some rare small plants live underground. Sometimes they grow flowers above the ground. These bright little flowers earn them the name “fairy lanterns”.
Even though they have a magical name, these plants of the Thismia group are like “monsters (怪物)” in biology. They cannot make their own food because they have no green chlorophyll (叶绿素). Instead, they get food from fungi (真菌) that live underground.
Scientists had already known about 120 kinds of fairy lanterns. But now, a new kind has been found in Malaysia. It is called Thismia selangorensis. However, people have found fewer than 20 of these plants so far, so this plant may be at great risk of disappearing.
In November 2023, Gim Siew Tan, a nature expert, first saw the new plant. It grew near the roots of a tree by a river in a popular picnic area. The plant was about 4 inches tall. Its flowers grew out of the soil and looked like peach-coloured umbrellas.
Tan took photos and posted them on the website for citizen scientists. These photos were noticed by expert Siti-Munirah Mat Yunoh. She quickly realized that this was a new, unknown species.
Later, the research team looked for more of these plants and found fewer than 20. People can recognize this species by its special flowers, coral-shaped roots, and other features. The team named it Thismia selangorensis to honour Selangor, the state where it was found.
Siti-Munirah said, “This discovery shows us that important scientific finds do not only happen in faraway rain forests. They can also be found in common places where many people often go.”
根据短文内容,回答下列问题。每题答案不超过 8 个词。
1.Where do fairy lanterns mainly live?
2.What problem is the new plant facing now?
3.How did the new species become known to scientists?
4.What makes the new plant special?
5.What can we learn from this discovery?
【答案】
1. Deep in wet forests.
2. It may disappear. / It is in danger of disappearing.
3. Through Tan’s posted photos.
4. Its flowers and coral-shaped roots.
5. Finds can be found in common places.
【解析】
1.答案:Deep in wet forests. 解析:原文第一句 Deep in wet forests all over the world, some rare small plants live underground.
2.答案:It may disappear. / It is in danger of disappearing. 解析:fewer than 20 of these plants so far, so this plant may be at great risk of disappearing.
3.答案:Through Tan’s posted photos. 解析:Tan 拍下照片发到网站,被专家看到,科学家由此知晓该新物种。
4.答案:Its flowers and coral-shaped roots. 解析:People can recognize this species by its special flowers, coral-shaped roots, and other features.
5.答案:Finds can be found in common places. 解析:文末原话:重要科学发现不只存在遥远雨林,普通地方也能找到。

Drink hot water. Start your day with a bowl of warm, comforting porridge. These pieces of advice may seem too simple to Chinese people—these are their daily routines. But for people around the world who are interested in modern Chinese lifestyles, these are useful tips worth learning and following.
Video creator Sherry XiiRuii began posting funny and interesting guides about ordinary Chinese habits on social media in 2025, using the topic tag #BecomingChinese. At that time, she probably did not expect her videos to get millions of views, nor did she think they would become a popular social media craze.
Within just two months, she made more than 20 videos in this series, which are designed as useful guide to “becoming Chinese”. Each video averaged 1 million views.
In the videos, this Chinese-American creator shares her ideas in a lively way, explaining how Chinese people think about health and daily family habits. She has more than 9 million followers on the internet, and her success has led many people to copy her style online.
This craze has also gone beyond daily routines, creating new crazes like #Chinamaxxing. This shows that more and more people online admire China’s city development, public safety, and modern convenient services. For many people, China’s achievements in these areas provide another good choice besides the Western way of living.
In an interview, XiiRuii made an important point: in America, most people’s understanding of Chinese culture is still not deep. But introducing simple, easy-to-follow daily habits has given people around the world a helpful way to learn about Chinese culture.
