Published in 1877, Black Beauty is one of the classical literature ( 古典文学 ) and is the only book Anna Sewell ever wrote.
In the book, Black Beauty, a horse, tells the story of his life in his own words. It is a story of how he was treated with kindness and love when he was young, but now his treatment changed at the hands of different owners. Black Beauty spent his young life with his mother on Farmer Grey’s farm. Farmer Grey is a good, kind man and the horses had a good life. His mother told him to be good and work hard. Black Beauty tried to follow this advice all his life.
First, he goes to live with Mr. Gordon and his family, who treat their horses well. He is cared for by a kind groom (马夫) called John, who never uses a whip (鞭子).

He is drunk and rides Black Beauty very hard and uses a whip. Black Beauty loses a shoe and in the end falls. Smith is killed in the accident and Black Beauty stays alive but his legs are left a bad scar (伤疤) and Lord Westland decides to sell him.

Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you?
The key to having successful new year’s resolutions, is to find resolutions that are good for us — in other words, resolutions that meet with our lifestyle and interests. Being honest with ourselves and what we want in life can go a long way towards achieving our resolutions. Whether you love setting new resolutions or you’re doing it for the first time, you’ll be sure to find a resolution that encourages you and make 2025 the best year.
( ) 1. When do people make a new year’s resolution?
A. At the end of the year.
B. In the middle of the year.
C. At the beginning of the year.
D. During the second month of the year.
( ) 2. Which one of the following is a resolution?
A. I will learn a new skill in the coming new year.
B. I promise, Mom, I will work hard this term.
C. Trust me, Dad. I will learn to be brave.
D. Miss Yang, you’ll see a better me next term.
( )3. Why do people make a new year’s resolution?
A. To celebrate the new year. B. To be a better self.
C. To remember the plan. D. To make parents happy.
( )4. What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the new year’s resolutions?
A. Doubtful. B. Curious. C. Supportive. D. Worried.

When you make a mistake, big or small, treasure it as it's the most valuable thing in the world.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.
And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been punished when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction(无意识的反应).
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By test and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have found out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler make speech possible, and make works of genius(天才) possible.
Think about how we learn: We don't just get information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching usually ... then you set a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.
That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world full of wonders possible.
1. According to the passage, how should we treat mistakes?
A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B. We should owe(把…归功于) great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
2. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means ________.
A. a small child learning to walk
B. a kindergarten child learning to draw
C. a primary pupil learning to read
D. a school teenager learning to write
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. most of us can really grow from success
B growing and improving are based on mistakes
C. we learn to make mistakes by test and error
D. we read about something and know how to do it right away
4. The author wants to tell us ________.
A. what you should do when meeting with difficulties
B. where you can find your mistakes
C. how you can avoid making mistakes
D. why you should celebrate your mistakes
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D

How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past? Aristotle may have written the first research results of myopia (近视) around 350B.C. Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects look blurry.
Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. And he noted that “even in the history of the invention of glasses, that is a late development.”
There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses (凸透镜) that were used to treat age-related vision loss known as presbyopia (We’d call them reading glasses today). But the technology wasn’t used to treat nearsightedness for another 200 years.
“Because of the way that lens is held, you can see through it, and the artist has caught the effect that the glass has,” Handley said. Myopia could be something of a modern condition. The number of nearsighted people has risen quickly in recent years, and researchers have predicted that half the world will be myopic by 2050. One study by the College of Optometrists found that myopia is more than twice as common among kids in the U.K. now than it was the 1960s.
Doctors are still trying to find out the cause behind this trend Some have blamed (归咎于) genetic causes or an increase in studying and screen time.
It’s likely that myopia didn’t influence as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t considered as a most important thing and that people could deal with myopia by making some changes in their lifestyle. Or, maybe there was more of an emphasis (强调) on putting people in jobs that were suited to their ability to see, he said.
For example, people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts (手稿) and painting required making tiny, exact brushstrokes. “The myopic person, far from being given some correction, was actually encouraged to remain in their myopic condition, because it was actually ideal for them doing this job. They don’t necessarily consider it as disability,” Handley said.
1. What does the underlined word “blurry” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Dark. B. Warm. C. Unclear. D. Uncomfortable.
2. The passage is developed by ________.
A. providing facts B. presenting causes C. comparing opinions D. making up stories
3. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. People in the past didn’t develop myopia.
B. People with myopia could also lead a normal life.
C. Myopia could be cured by changing people’s lifestyle.
D. Most jobs about art preferred nearsighted people than others.
4. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Many causes lead to modern myopia. B. Myopia was not so troublesome in the past.
C. Nearsightedness is increasing at an amazing speed. D. Glasses for nearsighted people have developed a lot.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲了在眼镜发明之前,人们近视情况并不像现代社会这么严重,也不会影响正常生活。
【1题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects look blurry.”可知,因为他们的眼球太长了,有这种情况的人们可以看到近处的物体,但远处的物体会看起来很模糊,由此可知blurry的意思为“模糊的,不清楚的”,故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据“There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses…for another 200 years.”、“The number of nearsighted people has risen quickly in recent years, and researchers have predicted that half the world will be myopic by 2050.”以及“One study by the College of Optometrists found that myopia is more than twice as common among kids in the U.K. now than it was the 1960s.”可知,这些内容都是一项项的事实,所以文章是通过提供事实来展开的,故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t considered as a most important thing and that people could deal with myopia by making some changes in their lifestyle.”可知,即使近视,当时的人们依旧可以正常的生活。故选B。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past?”可知,文章提出了在眼镜发明之前,人们怎么应付近视带来的问题,再根据文章最后两段内容可知,过去近视情况并不严重,对生活也不会有很大影响,甚至有一些与艺术相关的工作还需要这类人。由此可知,这篇文章主要是告诉我们近视在过去对人们影响不大。故选B。

Zhang Shunyong, a deputy of the two sessions (两会代表) in 2024, suggests that life education should be included in school courses.
“Life education is so important for teenagers because they are one of the weakest groups in society and thousands of students in China are facing mental (心理的) problems,” said Wang Xinhong, a teacher at Shenzhen Middle School.
“As the Internet connects every part of their life, it’s harmful to teenagers’ mental health in some ways because they are receiving different values and facing more unsure situations. This makes them feel tired out,” she added.

Although more schools are providing life education, they are still facing a challenge: how to let students experience it personally instead of only telling them. Wang suggests that more activities should be planned.

Herman planted the hot peppers (胡椒) in his five-hectare field in his town. The 36-year-old man put up a sign reading “Africa Hema Village” in Chinese, English and his native language. His first harvest will start this
month. Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2018, receiving his master’s degree and a doctorate in environmental science. He returned to Rwanda in 2018 with his wife, Yang Hong, who is from China, and started his own business. Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market. Hot peppers were one of his discoveries. The couple helped Hou’s team, from research to field trips, testing production processes (加工) and so on. They also helped Hema Xiansheng’s purchasing (采购) manager, Chen Huifang, when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences.
“We wore rubber gloves when we touched them. Our fingers still felt hot the next day,” Chen said. Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers. Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult, so the fresh peppers can’t be imported (进口) into China. Then Chen’s team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping. Processing requires a careful balance. Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious. Too little, and the peppers may go bad. Because plastics mustn’t be used in Rwanda, they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce. The material they first used couldn’t stand the long flights. Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema’s offline and online stores.
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small. A small amount is sold to Europe. And local need is limited due to its spiciness. So, about half the harvest is wasted every year. A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan ($1.4) a day by working in the cities, but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema’s orders, they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day. Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming, rather than working for lower incomes, when e-commerce (电子商务) can bring greater needs and sales.
“It’s a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives,” Herman said, “Through building more Hema Villages, Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture.”
1. “Africa Hema Village” in Paragraph 1 is a place _______.
A. called Hema in Africa B. where Herman’s wife was born
C. providing hot peppers for Hema D. for Africans to buy hot peppers
2. Why should the peppers be processed before shipping to China? Because _______.
A. a balance is needed when the processing is done
B. fresh hot peppers mustn’t be imported into China
C. in Rwanda, people are not allowed to use plastics
D. during shipping, fresh hot peppers are easy to go bad
3. If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema, he may get about ______.
A. 10 dollars a week B. 1,600 yuan a month
C. 500 dollars a year D. 16,000 yuan half a year
4. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many types of products have been offered in Africa Hema Village.
B Hot peppers from Africa have a large market all around the world.
C. Hema Xiansheng paid for Herman’s seven-year education in China.
D. Herman hopes to do something to improve people’s lives in Rwanda.

It's getting hot You go to have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair's journey is not over after the haircut.
Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it's cut off?Some farmers do!What comes up?Not wigs(假发),but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen(氮)that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster.
If you’ve got a wool sweater on,you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly(弯曲的) fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don't feel too hot. And we use the hair to make war clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn't catch fire easily. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets.
Because hair is made from bits of old cells,it has trace(微量)of chemicals(化学物质)that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemical in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret-whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes.
Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows my series, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it's not just for wigs any more.
1.In which part of a magazine can we probably read this passage?
A. History. B. Fashion. C. Science. D. Health.

Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person. Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you?
The key to having successful new year’s resolutions, is to find resolutions that are good for us — in other words, resolutions that meet with our lifestyle and interests. Being honest with ourselves and what we want in life can go a long way towards achieving our resolutions. Whether you love setting new resolutions or you’re doing it for the first time, you’ll be sure to find a resolution that encourages you and make 2025 the best year.

When you make a mistake, big or small, treasure it as it's the most valuable thing in the world.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, and get mad at ourselves.
And that's only natural: Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. We've been punished when we make mistakes — at home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction(无意识的反应).
Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be treasured and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world: They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.
By test and error — trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes — we have found out how to make electric lights, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler make speech possible, and make works of genius(天才) possible.
Think about how we learn: We don't just get information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You don't just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching usually ... then you set a model in your mind ... then you test it out by trying it in the real world ... then you make mistakes ... then you correct the model based on the results of your real world experiment ... and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you've pretty much learned how to do something.
That's how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new — because if you succeed in something, it's probably something you already knew how to do. You haven't really grown much from that success — at most it's the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if it's a good journey.
So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world full of wonders possible.
1. According to the passage, how should we treat mistakes?
A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B. We should owe(把…归功于) great inventions mainly to mistakes.

C. a primary pupil learning to read
D. a school teenager learning to write
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. most of us can really grow from success
B growing and improving are based on mistakes
C. we learn to make mistakes by test and error
D. we read about something and know how to do it right away

C. how you can avoid making mistakes
D. why you should celebrate your mistakes

How did nearsighted people manage in the pre-glasses past? Aristotle may have written the first research results of myopia (近视) around 350B.C. Because their eyeballs are too long, people with this condition can see objects that are close by, but distant objects look blurry.
Neil Handley, a museum curator, said not much is known about how people dealt with myopia before the first lenses for nearsighted people were invented in the 15th century in Europe. And he noted that “even in the history of the invention of glasses, that is a late development.”
There are 13th-century European examples of handheld convex lenses (凸透镜) that were used to treat age-related vision loss known as presbyopia (We’d call them reading glasses today). But the technology wasn’t used to treat nearsightedness for another 200 years.
“Because of the way that lens is held, you can see through it, and the artist has caught the effect that the glass has,” Handley said. Myopia could be something of a modern condition. The number of nearsighted people has risen quickly in recent years, and researchers have predicted that half the world will be myopic by 2050. One study by the College of Optometrists found that myopia is more than twice as common among kids in the U.K. now than it was the 1960s.
Doctors are still trying to find out the cause behind this trend Some have blamed (归咎于) genetic causes or an increase in studying and screen time.
It’s likely that myopia didn’t influence as many people in the past as it does now. Handley said the late creation of nearsighted glasses suggests that treating the small number of people with myopia wasn’t considered as a most important thing and that people could deal with myopia by making some changes in their lifestyle. Or, maybe there was more of an emphasis (强调) on putting people in jobs that were suited to their ability to see, he said.
For example, people with myopia were historically valued in artisan contexts, such as medieval European monasteries, where illuminating manuscripts (手稿) and painting required making tiny, exact brushstrokes. “The myopic person, far from being given some correction, was actually encouraged to remain in their myopic condition, because it was actually ideal for them doing this job. They don’t necessarily consider it as disability,” Handley said.

Zhang Shunyong, a deputy of the two sessions (两会代表) in 2024, suggests that life education should be included in school courses.
“Life education is so important for teenagers because they are one of the weakest groups in society and thousands of students in China are facing mental (心理的) problems,” said Wang Xinhong, a teacher at Shenzhen Middle School.
“As the Internet connects every part of their life, it’s harmful to teenagers’ mental health in some ways because they are receiving different values and facing more unsure situations. This makes them feel tired out,” she added.
Wang has been active in leading the team to practice life education for over ten years. Since 2004, Shenzhen Middle School has made life education a course and has opened“Life Education Week” every year. The week has different themes and activities. In 2015, the school started a Failure Museum, which encouraged students to face, share and learn from their failures.
Wang has great views from her rich experience in solving the mental problems of teenagers. “I believe the key to life education lies in guiding teenagers to manage relationshıps properly,” said Wang. “Whether they can manage the relationships with humans, nature and even the Internet plays an important role in their mental health.”
Although more schools are providing life education, they are still facing a challenge: how to let students experience it personally instead of only telling them. Wang suggests that more activities should be planned.
“We are looking forward to setting up a united (联合的) system for life education connecting families, schools, communities and hospitals to work together for the happiness of teenagers,” said Wang.

Herman planted the hot peppers (胡椒) in his five-hectare field in his town. The 36-year-old man put up a sign reading “Africa Hema Village” in Chinese, English and his native language. His first harvest will start this month. Herman studied in China from 2011 to 2018, receiving his master’s degree and a doctorate in environmental science. He returned to Rwanda in 2018 with his wife, Yang Hong, who is from China, and started his own business. Hema Xiansheng CEO Hou Yi visited Rwanda to find quality products to bring to the Chinese market. Hot peppers were one of his discoveries. The couple helped Hou’s team, from research to field trips, testing production processes (加工) and so on. They also helped Hema Xiansheng’s purchasing (采购) manager, Chen Huifang, when she led a team of eight to visit Rwanda to research the possibilities of making hot pepper products that suit Chinese preferences.
“We wore rubber gloves when we touched them. Our fingers still felt hot the next day,” Chen said. Their research and development team spent four days studying and cooking the peppers. Transporting fresh hot peppers to China proved difficult, so the fresh peppers can’t be imported (进口) into China. Then Chen’s team decided to perform basic processing in Rwanda before shipping. Processing requires a careful balance. Too much salt will make the peppers less delicious. Too little, and the peppers may go bad. Because plastics mustn’t be used in Rwanda, they had to find proper ways to carry the pepper sauce. The material they first used couldn’t stand the long flights. Now Chen is happy to see that the pepper sauce has sold well in Hema’s offline and online stores.
Herman pointed out that few local farmers grow hot peppers because the market is small. A small amount is sold to Europe. And local need is limited due to its spiciness. So, about half the harvest is wasted every year. A young man in Rwanda will only make 10 yuan ($1.4) a day by working in the cities, but if they grow hot peppers due to Hema’s orders, they can make 50 to 60 yuan a day. Herman expressed his willingness to introduce more people to make more money by farming, rather than working for lower incomes, when e-commerce (电子商务) can bring greater needs and sales.
“It’s a chance for Rwandan people to join the new field and change their lives,” Herman said, “Through building more Hema Villages, Rwanda has the chance to become a country of digital agriculture.”
1. “Africa Hema Village” in Paragraph 1 is a place _______.

3. If a young man in Rwanda grows hot peppers for Hema, he may get about ______.
A. 10 dollars a week B. 1,600 yuan a month
C. 500 dollars a year D. 16,000 yuan half a year
4. What can we learn from the passage?

It's getting hot You go to have your hair cut. The barber Tony cuts off part of your hair and sweeps it away, but your hair's journey is not over after the haircut.
Have you ever thought of planting your old hair after it's cut off? Some farmers do! What comes up?Not wigs(假发),but bigger and tastier crops. Hair is full of nitrogen(氮)that helps plants to grow. When cut hair is mixed into soil, the hair breaks down, slowly letting out nitrogen so it can help flowers and vegetables get big a little faster.
If you’ve got a wool sweater on,you’re wearing a sheep’s haircut. Sheep grow fine curly(弯曲的) fur called wool. All those curls make air pockets that trap heat, keeping the sheep warm. Farmers shear the sheep in summer, so the sheep don't feel too hot. And we use the hair to make war clothes, socks, and hats. Wool can even take in rain without feeling wet. Wool also doesn't catch fire easily. What does your hair say about you? Even many years after it has been cut, hair can tell surprising secrets.
Because hair is made from bits of old cells,it has trace(微量)of chemicals(化学物质)that were in the body when the hair grew. When people are kept in the situation of dangerous chemicals, these traces remain in the hair, even long after they have disappeared from the body itself. Testing hair can help doctors know if there are dangerous chemical in the food and water. Hair can tell another important secret-whose hair is it? This can be used to help solve crimes.
Hair does so many things for us. It keeps us warm and cool, helps farmers, shows my series, and provides endless styling fun. One thing is for sure, it's not just for wigs any more.
