Tristen Taylor was home alone doing his homework until a loud  　1　 broke the quiet.  “I heard glass breaking from the kitchen,” Tristen told a news reporter later. “My heart started racing. I knew something was  　2　.”  Looking through the door, Tristen saw a(n)  　3　 moving through the house. Instead of getting upset, he remembered his parents’ advice: “In case of danger, stay  　4　 and get to safety first.” Trying not to make a sound, he  　5　 climbed out of the window, dropped into the backyard, and then pulled out his phone to  　6　 911.  “Hello, this is Tristen Taylor. Someone just  　7　 my house!” he said clearly to the operator. “I’m outside now. Please hurry!” The operator asked for his  　8　 and he told her where he was.  Within three minutes, policemen arrived and  　9　 the thief, 53-year-old Christian Garcia, who had broken a window to  　10　. When Tristen’s parents rushed home, they hugged him tightly. “You’re a little hero,” they said with tears in their eyes. “We are so  　11　! You did a great job!”  Tristen’s father agreed. “Most kids of his age would freeze up,  　12　 Tristen kept cool.” Tristen said humbly, “I just did what anyone would do. If you stay calm, you can think of a way out.” The incident was  　13　 the 1990 film Home Alone, but Tristen’s quick thinking was not a movie scene—it was real  　14　 under pressure.  As for children, Tristen’s actions are educational. He kept cool, escaped to a  　15　 place, and called for help. That’s exactly what we encourage all children to do in such situations.  (　　)1. A. cry B. bell C. noise D. thunder (　　)2.

Each of these small, sealed boxes has one of many toy figures in a series(系列). The buyer doesn’t know which figure they’ve gotten until they cut the packaging with scissors. The start of blind boxes can date back to lucky bags sold in Japan from the late 1860s. In recent years it has become big business in China. During the Double 11 shopping day, a leading blind box company in China sold 55,000 Labubu dolls on a shopping platform in just 9 seconds, according to a report. One reason for their popularity is the fascinating appearance of the figures inside the boxes. They’re like mini cartoon characters. They can be placed anywhere in your home as a decoration(装饰). But another more important reason is the fun of being surprised. “The most interesting thing about blind boxes is the difference between what you expect and what you get,” said Wen Xi, a blind box collector from Beijing. The excitement of getting the exact figure you want is like winning a lottery ticket(彩票). While the boxes are certainly making some people happy, others worry that children might spend too much money on these toys. “The blind box business takes advantage of gambling psychology(赌博心理),” said Liu Chunsheng, a teacher at Central University of Finance and Economics. “Young people are likely to look for the excitement brought by uncertainty and higher risks, which leads to impulse buying(冲动消费).” Last year, over 200,000 Chinese customers spent more than 20,000 yuan collecting blind boxes. Most of them were Generation Z, or those born after 1995, according to a report. (　　)1. When did blind boxes come out? A. In 1995. B. Last year. C. In the late 1860s. D. On the Double 11 shopping day. (　　)2. What does the underlined word “sealed” mean? A. Closed. B. Light. C. Magical. D. Fashionable. (　　)3. What can we learn from the passage? A. The youth after 1980s are especially interested in the blind boxes. B. Liu Chunsheng is happy to see the popularity of blind boxes. C. People seldom buy blind boxes to decorate their homes. D. The blind boxes attract lots of buyers with people’s gambling psychology. (　　)4. What would be the best title for the passage? A. A life like chocolates B. The risk of impulse buying C. Finding a surprise inside D. Enjoying the unknown figures (　　)5. What would be the best structure of the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤⑥⑦/⑧ B. ①②③/④⑤/⑥⑦/⑧ C. ①/②/③④⑤/⑥⑦⑧ D. ①②/③④⑤/⑥⑦/⑧ B On December 30, 2025, the Duxiu Shufang Reading Center was officially opened by the Confucius Institute at the State University of Malang (UM) in the university’s library, located in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. The opening ceremony attracted many teachers and students, creating a warm atmosphere for cultural exchange. Duxiu Shufang is a well-known university bookstore brand under Guangxi Normal University Press Group. This new branch is a joint effort of Guangxi Normal University, the State University of Malang, and the publishing group. It is the third overseas location following two reading centers in Vietnam and Thailand. As a comprehensive space combining reading, cultural exhibitions and academic exchanges, the center has prepared more than 1,000 carefully selected books and over 100 cultural and creative products. These materials cover various fields such as Chinese literature, social sciences, arts, and Chinese language learning, providing rich resources for teachers and students to understand Chinese culture. Looking ahead, the center plans to hold a series of cultural activities, such as Chinese book clubs, traditional Chinese craft workshops, and lectures on Chinese culture. These events will help further strengthen cultural communication on campus. Gong Min, the Chinese director of the Confucius Institute at UM, stated that establishing(建立) Duxiu Shufang at the university matches the common goal of building a peaceful and prosperous(繁荣的) world. It will play an important role in promoting cultural exchange and mutual(相互的) understanding between China and Indonesia. Hariyono, president of UM, said in his speech that the reading center is a valuable platform for teachers and students to learn and communicate and will soon become a new cultural landmark on campus. Huang Xuanzhuang, president of Guangxi Normal University Press Group, expressed his hope that this reading space will turn into a “cultural laboratory”. It will encourage idea exchanges and emotional connections among young people from both countries, helping them build closer ties. (　　)6. How does the writer start Paragraph 1? A.

The drama show lasted two hours. The members of both clubs performed three short plays of traditional Chinese stories from our textbook, which reflected the good qualities of the Chinese people and our excellent traditional culture. Thanks to the great efforts of all performers and teachers, the 2-hour show was a great success. At the end of the show, all the people present stood up and cheered for their wonderful performance. We all believe this activity provided a good chance for us to enjoy English plays, improving our English language skills as well as bringing the two schools closer. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
