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。
Passage A
Many people check their phones as soon as they wake up. However, scientists suggest that looking at morning light may be a better first habit. Natural light tells the body that a new day has started. This message helps the body clock(生物钟)work in a steady way.
Morning light is usually softer than noon sunlight. Spending ten to twenty minutes near a window or outdoors can help people feel more awake. It may also improve mood because light influences chemicals in the brain. Students who feel sleepy in the first class may benefit from walking to school instead of staying in a dark room.
Light also affects sleep at night. When the body receives enough light early in the day, it can more easily know when to become tired later. This does not mean people should stare at the sun. Simple habits, such as opening curtains, eating breakfast near a window or taking a short walk, are enough.
Of course, morning light is not a magic medicine. People still need regular sleep, exercise and healthy meals. But adding light is easy and costs nothing. It can be especially useful in winter, when days are short and many students spend long hours indoors.
A brighter morning can lead to a calmer day. Before reaching for a phone, it may be worth opening the window and letting the first light in.
1. What does natural morning light tell the body?
A. Lunch is ready.
B. The phone is useful.
C. Rain is coming.
D. A new day has started.
2. How long may people spend near morning light according to the passage?
A. Three hours.
B. A whole afternoon.
C. Ten to twenty minutes.
D. One minute.
3. What should people avoid doing?
A. Staring at the sun.
B. Walking outdoors.
C. Opening curtains.
D. Eating near a window.
4. Why is morning light especially useful in winter?
A. Students have no homework.
B. Days are short and people stay indoors long.
C. Meals are cheaper.
D. Phones stop working.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Danger of Breakfast
B. How to Buy Curtains
C. A New Phone Habit
D. Morning Light and Daily Health
Passage B
In some cities, people meet once a month at a repair cafe. It is not a place that sells coffee only. It is a community room where broken things are checked and, if possible, repaired. Visitors bring lamps, toys, small radios or clothes with loose buttons. Volunteers bring tools and patience(耐心).
The idea is simple. Instead of throwing something away, people first try to repair it. A student may learn how to tighten a screw. An older resident may show how to sew a tear. When an item works again, its owner saves money and keeps waste out of the bin.
Repair cafes also teach useful skills. Many young people have never opened a radio or fixed a chair leg. Watching others repair things helps them understand how objects are made. This knowledge can make people more careful when they buy and use products.
The cafes are not always successful. Some items are too dangerous or too badly broken. Volunteers may ask owners to recycle them safely. Still, even an unsuccessful repair can be meaningful(有意义的) because people learn why the thing failed.
More importantly, repair cafes bring neighbors together. People talk while waiting, share stories about old objects and feel proud when a small problem is solved. A repaired lamp may light more than a desk; it may light a new habit of caring.
6. What can people bring to a repair cafe?
A. Large animals.
B. Fresh vegetables.
C. School tests.
D. Broken small things.
7. What is the simple idea of a repair cafe?
A. To teach cooking.
B. To collect coffee cups.
C. To try repairing before throwing away.
D. To sell new radios.
8. Why can repair skills influence buying habits?
A. Volunteers sell products.
B. Broken things disappear.
C. People understand how objects are made.
D. People get free coffee.
9. What may volunteers do if an item is dangerous?
A. Take it home.
B. Ask owners to recycle it safely.
C. Throw it into water.
D. Repair it secretly.
10. What does the last sentence imply?
A. Repairing can build a caring habit.
B. Lamps are brighter than desks.
C. Coffee is free for neighbors.
D. Old objects should be hidden.
Passage C
After heavy rain, some streets quickly become small rivers. Water runs over hard roads and carries leaves, dust and oil into drains. A rain garden is a planted area that helps slow this water down. It is usually lower than the ground around it, so rain can flow into it easily.
Rain gardens are filled with soil, stones and plants that can stand both wet and dry(干燥的) weather. When water enters the garden, the soil holds part of it, and plant roots help clean it. The rest slowly goes deeper into the ground instead of rushing into the street.
These gardens do not need to be large. A small one beside a school gate or a community path can make a difference. It can reduce puddles, protect drains and offer food for insects such as butterflies. In summer, the plants may also cool the air nearby.
Building a rain garden needs planning. People must choose the right place, away from building walls. They also need plants that grow well in local weather. If the garden is not cared for, rubbish may block water and make it less useful.
A rain garden shows that a city can work with nature. Instead of pushing rain away as quickly as possible, it gives water a safe place to pause.
11. What is a rain garden used to do?
A. Stop all rain from falling.
B. Make roads higher.
C. Slow rainwater down.
D. Store school desks.
12. What helps clean the water in a rain garden?
A. Street lamps.
B. School walls.
C. Traffic signs.
D. Plant roots.
13. What does the underlined word 'puddles' mean?
A. 昆虫
B. 积水
C. 台阶
D. 垃圾桶
14. What should people consider when building a rain garden?
A. Choosing plants for local weather.
B. Putting it against building walls.
C. Covering it with plastic.
D. Removing all stones.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Why walls should be higher.
B. How rain gardens help cities handle water.
C. Why streets need more cars.
D. How butterflies fly in summer.
Passage D
Some students close their notebooks as soon as homework is finished. They feel happy because the task is done. However, learning does not end when an answer is written. In my opinion, students should keep a question list, especially for subjects that require thinking and practice.
A question list helps students see what they do not understand. For example, a student may write, Why does this sentence use the past perfect tense? Later, when the teacher explains it, the student can connect the answer with a real problem. This is more useful than listening without a clear purpose.
The list also makes review easier. Before a test, students often read many pages again. If they have a list, they can first return to the points that once confused them. Solving old questions gives them a sense of progress and saves time.
Some people worry that keeping a list takes too much effort. In fact, it can be very short. One line after homework is enough. The key is not to write beautifully, but to record honestly. A simple question today may become an important clue(线索)tomorrow.
Good learners are not people who never have questions. They are people who catch questions before they disappear. A question list turns confusion into a path for the next step.
16. What does the writer think students should do?
A. Keep a question list.
B. Close notebooks early.
C. Stop asking teachers.
D. Write answers only.
17. Why is a question list useful when listening to teachers?
A. It shortens every class.
B. It gives students a clear purpose.
C. It makes students draw pictures.
D. It replaces homework.
18. How can the list help before a test?
A. By helping students review confusing points first.
B. By hiding mistakes.
C. By showing sports news.
D. By making books unnecessary.
19. What is the key to keeping a list?
A. Writing many pages.
B. Writing beautifully.
C. Recording honestly.
D. Using expensive paper.
20. What does the last paragraph suggest?
A. Good learners have no questions.
B. Confusion should be hidden.
C. Lists are only for tests.
D. Questions can guide further learning.
Passage E
Waiting is often seen as a waste of time. People become impatient in lines, at bus stops or before test results. They check phones again and again. But waiting can have quiet power if we use it well. It gives the mind a small space between action and reaction.
First, waiting can prevent quick mistakes. When someone sends an angry message at once, the words may hurt others. If the person waits for a few minutes, feelings may cool down. The answer may become clearer and kinder. Many problems grow not because they are big, but because people answer too fast.
Second, waiting allows observation. At a station, a student may notice how people help a mother with a baby carriage(婴儿车). In a classroom, a quiet minute before speaking may help a student hear another idea. Waiting is not empty when attention is awake.
Of course, waiting should not become an excuse for doing nothing. If a problem needs help, action is necessary. The value of waiting lies in choosing the right moment, not in avoiding responsibility.
In a fast world, waiting is a small skill. It teaches patience, respect and better timing. Sometimes the best answer comes after a pause.
21. What do people often think of waiting?
A. A waste of time.
B. A kind of sport.
C. A school subject.
D. A public rule.
22. Why can waiting prevent quick mistakes?
A. It lets feelings cool down.
B. It makes phones faster.
C. It changes bus routes.
D. It removes all problems.
23. What does the example at a station show?
A. Students dislike buses.
B. Babies need tickets.
C. Waiting can allow observation.
D. Stations are always noisy.
24. What should waiting not become?
A. A chance to think.
B. An excuse for doing nothing.
C. A short pause.
D. A way to respect others.
25. What is the writer's main opinion?
A. Fast answers are always best.
B. People should never wait.
C. Phones help people respect time.
D. Waiting can be useful when used well.
