Passage 1(人与社会·历史与文化·有突出贡献的人物)
Yang Changqin turned her childhood dream into her job. The 36-year-old is now a master bamboo weaver (竹编大师) from Chishui, the founder of her brand Jizhu.
Born in Guizhou, Yang loved making things by hand as a child. After trying different kinds of work, she left her job as a teacher and began learning traditional bamboo weaving when she was about 18 years old.
Bamboo weaving is a skill that turns thin pieces of bamboo into useful and beautiful things by hand. People make everyday objects like chairs, baskets and other tools for the home using this method.
Yang remembers how difficult it was at first. It was hard for her to control the knife, and she often cut her hands. But she kept practicing and improving until the skills felt natural to her. Later, Yang started looking for new ways to weave bamboo. She developed 3D weaving methods and studied at art schools to add modern design ideas into her work.
In 2012, she founded her brand Jizhu. It made bamboo paintings, handbags and lamps become popular soon. But starting a business also meant learning new skills. Apart from combining traditional techniques(技巧) with modern design, she also learned to manage production and think about how to reach customers outside her hometown.
Her business makes a clear difference in the local community. One shop can make tens of thousands of yuan a month while paying piecework wages (计件工资) of several thousand yuan to local villagers.
Now more young people take an interest in the intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产).
1.When did Yang Changqin begin learning bamboo weaving?
2.What is bamboo weaving?
3. What new methods did Yang Changqin develop?
4. What benefits did the brand Jizhu bring? (写出一个答案即可)
5.What do you learn from Yang Changqin’s story?

Passage 2(人与自然·环境保护·环保意识及行为)
For many years, countries have put harmful things into the air and water. They have also put greenhouse gases into the air and damaged natural areas. If we don't stop, what will our planet be like in 2050?
By 2050, greenhouse gases could be 75 billion tons every year. That's almost 50% more than now. This will make heatwaves happen more often. Almost every place on Earth will become hotter. No one can avoid this.
There will be 9.2 billion people on Earth. To give everyone food, and because people want to eat more meat, we will need more land for farming. Because of this, the world could lose 1 million square kilometers of forests and other natural lands.
Air pollution might get a little better. But as more people live in cities, dirty air will actually harm more people. About 4 billion people will be breathing air that has dangerous levels of tiny dirty particles (called PM 2.5).
If we do nothing about climate change, about 1.1 billion more people could have very heavy rain. At the same time, 900 million more people could have very bad droughts. One out of every three people in the world will often not have enough water.
This future seems very bad. But a report called GEO-7 says it can be changed. We still have time to make things better. Of course, we need to change what we do. Every country should think again about how it deals with trash, makes energy, grows food, uses nature's gifts, and cares for the environment — and they should start doing this now.
1.What will make heatwaves happen more ofen?
2.How many will there be on Earth by 2050?
3.What will harm more people as as more people live in cities?
4. What will happen if we do nothing about climates change? (写出一个答案即可)
5.What actions can countries take to protect our planet? Give one example and explain.

Passage 3(人与自然·环境保护·敬畏自然)
Global warming is the way our planet is slowly getting warmer. It is also called climate change. But what is climate? Climate is different from weather. Weather is about short things, like rain today or wind this week. Climate is about the usual temperature and rain over a very long time, like 30 years or more. Scientists think that since the time we started using many machines, the Earth has become about 1°C warmer.
Why is 1°C a problem? It doesn't seem like much, but it causes real trouble. Because of it, we have more very strong weather, like big storms, heavy rains, long droughts, and heat waves. Ice at the poles is melting, making sea levels rise. This can cause floods. Farmers are finding it harder to grow food because of droughts and big storms.
Our planet's climate has changed before. Long ago, the Earth got warmer when the sun was very active. But now, the sun is not very active, yet the Earth is still getting warmer, and much faster. Why? The main reason is greenhouse gases. These gases work like a blanket around the Earth. They trap the sun's heat and keep the planet warm. Carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) is one of these important gases. We make a lot of carbon dioxide when we burn things like coal, oil, and gas for energy. Trees are helpful because they take in carbon dioxide.
How can we help? To protect our planet, we need to make less greenhouse gases. Countries and companies can do big things, like using more clean energy and making electric cars. But everyone can help with small actions too! Every small action counts!
1.What is climate?
2.How does global warming influence farmers?
3.Why is the Earth getting warmer and much faster?
4. How do greenhouse gases change our planet’s climate?
5.What can you do to protect our planet? (Your answer should be different from the ones in the text.)

Passage 4(人与社会·人际沟通·人际关系)
I have never liked small talk. To me, it was either boring or it made me feel nervous. Coworkers (同事) would talk about the rain while it was raining outside. Neighbors would say "How are you?" but didn't really listen to the answer. Every time, it felt fake and uninteresting.
But this all changed for me last May. I was at a friend's art show. I decided to try something new. I stopped trying to make "perfect" small talk. The first person I talked to was a photographer. I asked her, "What's your star sign?" She looked a little surprised, then smiled and said, "Aquarius(水瓶座)." We had a good, easy conversation for ten minutes. That night, I had many real and interesting talks.
There were 27 days left in May. I thought one month was a good time to try this new way of talking. My plan was simple: I would not ask the usual boring questions about weather, traffic, or school grades. Instead, I would ask something I really wanted to know. What I found was amazing. Most people were happy to talk in this new way.
I was not the only one who found normal small talk boring! Our conversations became fun and real. I learned a waiter loves painting and a nurse is writing a book. By the end of the month, I understood something. Small talk is like a key. It can help us connect with other people, which is something we all want. But we don't have to do it in the old, boring way. We can start our conversations in our own, more lively way.

Passage 5(人与社会·文学艺术·跨文化沟通)
Although she is from Britain, Fuchsia Dunlop knows a lot about Chinese food, especially Sichuan food. She has written several books about China’s different food culture, and they are quite popular. In an interview last year, she talked about how to enjoy Chinese food.
How did you start liking Chinese food?
I first went to China in 1994 as an exchange student. I studied history at Sichuan University. Since I was a child, I have loved cooking. In Chengdu, the food was so delicious that I began learning how to cook it. I asked the owners of small restaurants near my university if I could learn in their kitchens. That’s how it all started. When I returned to England, I was surprised that there were no Sichuan cookbooks in English. People in Britain knew very little about Sichuan. So, I decided to write a Sichuan cookbook myself. It was published in 2001. Over the years, I have explored food from other parts of China and written about it. I never thought studying Chinese food would become my lifelong work, but the more I learned, the more interested I became.
In your research, what is the biggest misunderstanding(误解) about Chinese food in the West?
In Britain, the most well-known Chinese food was takeaway. It was very simple—without bones or shells, with few vegetables and lots of fried food. It wasn’t really meant for Chinese people, but it shaped Western ideas of Chinese food. The biggest misunderstanding is that Chinese food should be cheap. Another common idea is that Chinese people eat strange foods like chicken feet and duck tongues (舌头) because they were poor. This is a very simple and wrong way of looking at it.

Passage 6(人与自我·生活与学习·积极向上的生活)
Picture this: You've been studying all day. You feel tired and really want a cup of milk tea. Before, you might think: "No! That has too many calories (卡路里)!" But now, young people in China smile and say to themselves: "Ai ni laoji! Let's go get one!"
The phrase “ai ni laoji” literally (按字面意义地) means “love you, dear old me.” It has spread on Chinese social media since the end of last year. The idea is simple: Treat yourself like your best friend. A best friend always cares about you and stands up for your needs. When you feel tired, it is okay to rest. Think of yourself like a phone: After a long day, you need to recharge(再充电). You can go shopping, spend time on a hobby, or just do nothing and relax.
This change in mindset (心态) shows a break with tradition. Older generations often valued hard work more than personal feelings. Many believed that doing nothing was lazy and that putting yourself first was selfish. But young people today believe self-care is not something to be ashamed of.
But remember: Taking care of yourself does not mean doing whatever you want. If you use “ai ni laoji” as an excuse to rest all the time, it will lose its meaning. True “ai ni laoji” means knowing when to take a break and when to take responsibility.
So yes, rest when you are tired, but move forward when it is time. In the end, loving yourself is not about escaping life. It is about having the energy to live your life well.
1.Who might say "Ai ni laoji!” to themselves?
2. Where did “Ai ni laoji” become popular at the end of last year?
3.What did older generations often value?
4. What does true “ai ni laoji” mean? (写出一个答案即可)
5.What can you do to practice “ai ni laoji” in daily life? Give one example and explain.

Passage 7(人与自然·自然生态·热爱与敬畏自然)
Some films make you cry. Some make you think. Return to the Wolves (《重返・狼群》) does both.
This documentary tells the story of a woman and a wolf. More than ten years ago, on the Zoige Grassland(若尔盖草原), a Chinese artist named Li Weiyi found a little wolf. Its parents had been killed by hunters. She named him "Green" and took him to Chengdu, where she and a friend raised him like a child.
Green soon became part of the family. He learned to catch fish in a pond and even made friends with the family's small dog. Li took care of him every day, and they became very close. Sometimes, Green acted more like a playful child than a wild animal. But as he grew bigger, problems started. He chewed on wires (啃咬电线), howled(嚎叫) at night, and became more restless. His wild nature was showing.
Li's friends said she should send Green to a zoo. But after visiting one and seeing wolves walking sadly in small cages, she said no. A cage is still a cage, even if it seems safe.
In the end, Li understood a hard truth: Green was a wolf. He needed to go back to the wild. So, she made the difficult decision to set him free—to return him to the grassland, his real home. This story reminds us that true love is not about keeping something. Sometimes, it means being brave enough to let it go.
1.What is the documentary Return to the Wolves about?
2.Where did Li Weiyi find Green?
3.Why didn’t she send Green to a zoo?
4. What problems did Green bring to Li Weiyi’s family? (写出一个答案即可)

Passage 8(人与社会·社会服务·跨文化沟通)
When tourists visit China, they often want to see the Great Wall or take a fast train. But now, many visitors have a new thing they want to do: go to a hospital.
On TikTok, the topic "Medical Tourism" is very popular. Many foreigners are sharing stories about getting quick and cheap medical care in China. Numbers show that more and more patients from other countries are coming. In 2024, Shenzhen had 770,000 visits by foreign patients. In Shanghai, 13 hospitals saw 15% more foreign patients.
For these travelers, the biggest reason is the low price. Many are surprised by the cost difference. In the United States, a heart check-up can cost up to 20,000 without insurance (保险). But in China, the same check−up costs only about 75.
Another important reason is the speed. A British woman named Amy had stomach pain for two years. In the UK, she had to wait a long time to see a special doctor. But on her first day in Beijing, she found out she had a stomach problem and got her medicine right away. In China, it is common to see a doctor and finish your tests on the same day.
The most popular services are for teeth and eyes. For example, cleaning your teeth for $15 is seen as very cheap. Traditional Chinese Medicine is also a favorite.
Some people worry that these foreign visitors might use too many hospital resources. But experts say these services are usually in special departments. They also help hospitals earn money, which can be used for public services. For many travelers, China is now a place where they can get healthy without spending too much money.
1.What is new for foreign visitors coming to China to do?
2. How many foreign patients came to Shenzhen in 2024?

Passage 9(人与自然·环境保护·环保意识和行为)
What is a key part of the ocean? You might think of sharks or whales. But some very important living things are much smaller: algae (水藻).
Most of the time, these tiny plants are the ocean's best friends. They are food for almost every sea animal. Without them, many sea creatures would have nothing to eat.
But sometimes, these helpful plants can become a problem. When algae grow too much and too fast, the water can change color. It can turn from blue to a rusty (铁锈色的) red. This is called a "red tide." The color may look interesting, but it is a warning sign. This event has a dark side.
During a red tide, some algae make strong poisons (毒物). These poisons can kill fish, birds, and even large sea animals. In places like Florida, these poisons can even get into the air. This can make it hard for people on the beach to breathe. They also make seafood, like clams (蛤蜊), dangerous for people to eat.
Even algae that are not poisonous can cause problems if there are too many. When a lot of algae die, they start to rot (腐烂). Rotting uses up the oxygen(氧气) in the water. This creates "dead zones" where there is not enough oxygen. Fish and crabs must swim away from these areas, or they will die.
To protect our beaches and our health, scientists are now watching the ocean closely. They want to predict when and where a red tide will happen. By telling people early, they help towns get ready for red tides. This helps keep everyone safe.
1.What do sea animals eat?
2. Why can the water change color?
3. What do some algae make during a red tide?
4. Why can’t fish and crabs live in the "dead zones"?
5.What lessons can we learn from "red tide" ? (Your answer should be different from the ones in the text.)

Passage 10(人与社会·文学与艺术·音乐赏析)
It was a warm Friday evening in late August. A light rain was falling as I walked down a path into the woods. In front of me stood the Maverick Concert Hall, though it looked more like a wooden barn (谷仓) than a hall. Everything was made of wood. When I sat on a bench, it creaked (嘎吱作响) loudly. I tried to sit very still.
I checked the program. One title caught my eye: 4′33″ by John Cage. I wondered, what happens for four minutes and thirty-three seconds?
The pianist walked on stage, bowed, and sat at the piano. He opened the lid (琴盖), put the music on the stand (琴架), and took out a stopwatch (秒表). We waited, but he didn’t play. He just watched the time.
At first, it was quiet. Then it felt strange. What’s happening? I looked around. Others seemed confused too.
Then, someone coughed. Another cleared their throat. People began to whisper. Benches creaked as they moved. Outside, rain tapped softly on the roof. Wind brushed through leaves. A bird called in the woods. Then I heard the smallest sounds—my own breathing and my heartbeat.
Suddenly, I understood. The pianist wasn’t playing because all the sounds around us were the music. I used to think “silence” meant no sound. But this quiet was full of life—rain, wind, birds, people. There is no perfect silence, only sounds we don’t notice until we really listen.
Walking out, the night felt different, fuller. I realized music isn’t only made on a stage. Sometimes, it’s what we hear when we finally let the quiet speak.
1.What did the Maverick Concert Hall look like?
2. What was 4′33″ exactly?
3. What did the pianist just do when everyone waited?
4. What did the writer hear from“silence”?
5.What small sounds around you can be seen as music? Give one example and explain.

Passage 11(人与自然·灾害防范·自然灾害与防范措施)
Climate change is causing many problems, like extreme (极端的) weather and rising sea levels. Now, scientists have found a new one: Earth's days are getting a little longer because the planet is spinning (旋转) more slowly.
We know about the greenhouse effect. Human activities send gases into the air that trap heat, warming the Earth. This is causing huge amounts of ice at the North and South Poles to melt. Every year, Antarctica loses about 150 billion tons of ice, and Greenland loses 270 billion tons.
This melting ice is a danger to coasts. But scientist Benedikt Soja says it also changes how Earth’s weight is spread. Less weight stays at the poles, and more moves toward the oceans. This affects how fast Earth spins.
Think of a figure skater (花样滑冰运动员) spinning. When they stretch their arms out, they spin slower. When they pull their arms in, they spin faster. In a similar way, as Earth’s weight moves away from its axis(轴线)—the poles—the planet spins slower, making our days a little longer.
During the 1900s, the change was very small. But since the year 2000, it has become larger. Soja says if we don’t reduce emissions(排放), the change could be even bigger by 2100.
This tiny change won’t really affect our daily lives. But it should make us think about what we are doing to our planet. If we don’t take action, more problems—big and small—are sure to come.
1.What problems can climate change cause?
2. What causes huge amounts of ice at the North and South Poles to melt?
3.What is affecting how fast Earth spins?
4. What do Benedikt Soja think we should do? (写出一个答案即可)
5.What lessons can we learn from “a figure skater spinning”? (Your answer should be different from the ones in the text.)
