He asked each group to 11 how plants grow in different light conditions. Luna, Kai, and Maya were in the same group, but they couldn’t agree on the experiment (实验) 12 right away. Luna wanted to use only natural sunlight, artificial light, and darkness. “These three are 13 and easy to control (控制),” she said, pointing to her notebook. Kai shook his head. “We should add coloured lights too — red and blue — 14 the textbook says they affect (影响) plant growth,” he argued, holding up the science book. Maya was worried that they’d run out of time if they added more lights. They 15 for twenty minutes, but none of them would back down. Finally, Mr Brown noticed what was happening and suggested, “Why don’t you do both? Use the three basic light conditions for your main experiment, and 16 one coloured light, like the blue one, as an extra (额外的) part. This way, you cover Luna’s idea, satisfy Kai’s interest and stop Maya worrying about 17 .” The three looked at one another. It made sense! They said sorry for being too stubborn (固执的) and quickly got to work. A week later, their experiment came to an end — and the 18 were as expected!

But what if some of these habits are actually good for us? Scientists have found that what appears to be laziness can sometimes be a smart way to take care of our health! 1. Use washing machines for laundry (洗衣服) Many grandparents believe that washing clothes by hand is better than using washing machines, and that it’s lazy to use the machines. However, using a washing machine correctly isn’t just more convenient; it also produces cleaner results! Research from a German university shows that a 15-minute wash at 20.5℃ can remove more than 99% of microorganisms (微生物). But don’t forget to clean the washing machine regularly! 2. Press snooze (按下催醒按钮) and sleep a little longer Sleeping in or staying in bed a bit longer may seem lazy, but it helps our bodies wake up slowly. Research shows that people who stay in bed for about 30 minutes after waking perform (表现) better in tasks like maths and memory tests than those who get up right away. What do you think of these habits? Share your thoughts below! Comments Sophia Sorry, but I feel safer hand-washing my clothes. A washing machine once made my favourite sweater unwearable! Liam This explains why I do better in my maths tests when I don’t jump out of bed straight away! It’s not laziness; it’s science! Alex This makes me feel better about helping with the laundry. Nancy But if I press snooze, I might fall back into a deep sleep and be late for school. I prefer to wake up to an alarm clock across the room! ( ) 21. What percentage of microorganisms can a 15-minute wash at 20.5℃ with a washing machine remove from clothes? A. Less than 50%. B. About 70%. C. About 80%. D. Over 99%. ( ) 22.

B What will you do if you want more LEGO but don’t have enough money to buy it? A seven-year-old boy named Austin had a smart idea. He started his own T-shirt business, putting characters he created himself, like Sus-bot and The Monster That Ate My Cheese, on T-shirts. At first, Austin drew his characters by hand. However, the drawings didn’t look as amazing as the pictures in his mind. To solve this, he and his mum discovered a better way — they learned to use AI tools to bring his ideas to life. Now, Austin is busy with his small business. He chooses T-shirt colours, makes posts online, and works with his mum to press (烫印) the designs onto each T-shirt. To get closer to his dream LEGO sets, Austin has set up market stalls (摊位) and even started his own website. What does Austin like most? It’s hearing from happy customers who say his T-shirt is their first choice when they are getting dressed in the morning. “It doesn’t matter how young you are,” Austin says. “If you have a great idea and people support you, you can make that idea come to life!” ( ) 26. Why did Austin start his own T-shirt business? A. To learn business skills from his mum. B. To share his fun designs with more people. C. To make money for more LEGO toys. D. To try out new T-shirt styles with his mom. ( ) 27. How did Austin make the designs of his characters look better? A. He learned to use AI tools to create them. B. He kept practicing drawing by hand. C. He copied characters from the website. D. He had drawing classes to improve his skills. ( ) 28. What is the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The way Austin manages his business. B. The work Austin does for his business. C. The difficulties Austin’s business is facing. D. The reason why Austin starts his own website. ( ) 29. Which of the following words best describes Austin? A. Honest. B. Helpful. C. Careful. D. Creative. ( ) 30. What can we learn from Austin’s story? A. Children should make money by selling T-shirts. B. Good ideas can become real with support and effort. C. AI tools are necessary for running a small business. D. It is easy for young kids to set up their own websites. C Body image is about how we see and feel about our bodies, and how we think others see us. Sometimes, we might feel good about our body, while other times we might feel sad or worried. These thoughts and feelings are often influenced (影响) by what’s happening around you. The media often shows only one type of body as “fit and healthy”. Friends or family might give negative (负面的) comments about your body. Clothes in shops sometimes only fit certain body types. Advertisements encourage dieting and weight loss. If you find yourself comparing your body to what you see every day, you’re not alone. What should you do if you struggle with (对…… 感到困扰) your body image? Some things can help you get through this. When you struggle, be kind to yourself and try not to judge yourself by comparing yourself to the many images you see in the media. These images are often digitally changed to make them look “perfect”, and they don’t reflect how people look in real life. There are many types of beauty because everyone sees it differently. And there’s no right or wrong way to look. Spend time with people who make you feel good. It might also help to write down the nice things people say to you, and not just what people say about your looks. Remember, people value you for lots of reasons. If bad feelings do not go away, there are always people you can turn to for help, such as a parent, teacher, or doctor. Keep in mind that beauty comes in different shapes and sizes. Value yourself for who you are, and reach out for support when needed. ( ) 31. What can influence how you feel about your body? A. Clothes in fashion magazines. B. Advertisements for healthy foods. C. The opinions of friends and family. D. The different body types shown in the media. ( ) 32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Arguing with your parents. B. Feeling unhappy about how you look. C. Having a bad relationship with your friends. D. Receiving negative comments about your body. ( ) 33. What does the underlined word “judge” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A. 取悦 B. 理解 C. 安慰 D. 评判 ( ) 34. What actions does the passage suggest to deal with body image struggles? ①Avoid unnecessary social activities. ②Write down kind comments about you. ③Turn to parents, teachers or doctors for help. ④Spend time with people who make you feel good. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ ( ) 35. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. You Are What You Eat B. All Bodies Are Beautiful C. How to Lose Weight and Keep Fit D. How to Get More Positive Comments 四、任务型阅读(共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) Life can be hard sometimes, but changing your mindset (心态) can make a difference. How can you stay positive and happy? 36 Have positive thoughts. When you find yourself thinking negatively, stop and try to change your thoughts. Don’t say, “ 37 ” Try thinking, “I can do this if I keep trying.” Praise yourself. Say something nice to yourself for your achievements and even for your hard work. And remind yourself how strong, smart, or hard-working you are. For example, you can tell yourself, “You did so well today!” Try to smile. 38 So try to give yourself a happy smile when you’re stressed or upset. It will help you to be in high spirits. 39 The people around you can affect how you feel. Spend time with happy and positive people. And stay away from those who complain (抱怨) too much. A positive social circle can help you stay happy. Be thankful. 40 Read the list when you feel blue. Share your thanks with others as well—it brings joy to everyone.

C.Choose positive friends. D.Smiling can make your mind feel happier. E.Every night, write down two things you’re thankful for. 五、词语运用(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) A)用所给词的适当形式填空。 41.Don’t be (disappoint).

Today, I would like to share my experience. Last year, I took part in a dance competition with my club members. I thought I could do well, but things didn’t go as expected. I couldn’t keep up with the music and made mistakes. As a result, my team got the lowest score. I was disappointed, but I soon realised why I failed. I didn’t spend enough time practising, and I didn’t take the competition seriously. My lack of effort affected not only me but also my teammates. Encouraged by my teacher and teammates, I decided to improve. I made a practice schedule and stuck to it. Six months later, in the next competition, my performance improved greatly. This experience taught me a valuable lesson. We should neither fear failure nor disregard it. Instead, we should first find the causes, learn from the failure, and try harder next time. Failure isn’t the end but a step toward success. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
