Colin’s illness made him stay in bed all day. He became very bad-tempered and always shouted at others. Sometimes he even threw things at his servants (仆人).
One day, his best friends Mary and Dickon came to visit him as usual. Colin’s face was white, looking sad and tired. Mary and Dickon thought it was time to tell Colin about the secret garden.
“Colin, we’re going to take you to a special place, but you must keep it secret!” said Mary.
Colin’s eyes grew bigger, curious about the secret place.
The next day, Mary and Dickon carried Colin downstairs and put him in the wheelchair. Mary looked around to make sure that no one was watching. Then she picked up the key under a big bush and opened the door of the secret garden. Dickon pushed the wheelchair quickly inside.
In the garden, Colin looked round and round. He listened to the sweet sound of the birds singing, and he felt the warm sun on his face. His pale skin started to become pink as he breathed in the good, fresh air. That day, the world changed for Colin.
From then on, Colin even followed Dickon to do some simple exercise in the wheelchair. He went to the secret garden with Mary and Dickon nearly every day.
Something amazing happened in the secret garden that spring and summer. At first, everything turned green. Then the green changed to colours — blue, purple and red. There were flowers everywhere. The garden was so beautiful that Colin wanted to walk freely in it, but he was afraid that he couldn’t.
“I believe that there is magic in the garden. The magic made all the plants grow strong. It can make you grow strong too,” Mary said to Colin.
Encouraged by Mary, Colin tried to pull himself up out of his wheelchair. And with Dickon’s help, he stood up straight and tall.
“Look at me,” he shouted. “Just look at me!”
Colin stayed standing. Suddenly, he stopped feeling afraid.
“I’m not the poor boy who is always ill,” he cried.

Mao Haofu, born in 1989, comes from Jinggangshan, Jiangxi Province. The Jinggang Mountains are known as the “cradle (摇篮) of the Chinese revolution (革命)”. This area is a symbol of the Chinese people’s spirit of overcoming (克服) difficulties with hard work.
Mao Haofu’s grandfather spent his whole life passing on this spirit. Growing up in such a family, Mao saw the spirit as part of his life. At the age of 27, he gave up a well-paid job to continue his family’s work.
Back in Jinggangshan, he started to spread red culture, including the revolutionary history, great spirit and heroic stories. To make tourists have a deeper understanding of the history, Mao designed some special activities, such as walking down the Red Army Trail (红军小道), helping people feel more connected to the past. In addition, to make the history known to more people around the world, Mao makes short English videos about red culture, winning high praise from many people.
Mao’s work, however, goes far beyond that. He also makes short videos to sell local products like the famous sweet fruit honey pomelo. In order to introduce the fruit to more people, he often stays up late to make these videos patiently. With his help, the sweet fruit is sold all over the country. Mao also helps villagers manage hotels and teaches them how to serve tourists well. With Mao and the local people’s hard work, more and more tourists are attracted there and the local people’s lives improve a lot. Those small mountain villages turn into lively places.
Because of his efforts, Mao was honoured with the New Era Youth Pioneer (新时代青年先锋奖) of 2025. Those mountains are silent witnesses to what Mao has done. For him, the past and the future are of the same importance. He will keep on walking along the path, lighting up the way forward.
33. What’s Mao’s purpose of giving up a well-paid job?
A. To follow his family’s work. B. To make more money.
C. To look after his grandfather. D. To live in the mountains.
34. What did Mao do to help tourists understand the history more deeply?
A. He walked down the Red Army Trail.
B. He taught tourists how to speak English.
C. He designed special activities for tourists.
D. He made short videos about natural beauty.
35. Why does Mao win the New Era Youth Pioneer of 2025?
A. Because he helps local villagers manage hotels.
B. Because many tourists think highly of his efforts.
C. Because he helps sell local products through short videos.
D. Because he spreads red culture and helps his hometown develop.
36. What can we learn from Mao in the text?
A. We should be generous and modest.
B. We should be honest and brave.
C. We should be hard-working and devoted.
D. We should be polite and curious.
D
In modern society, energy plays an important role in human activities. Generally, fossil fuels (化石燃料) are limited and unfriendly to our environment, while wind and water energy, though clean, can be easily influenced by weather conditions. The present nuclear plants (核电站) probably harm our environment. There is nothing like the sun to provide humans with unlimited clean energy. Under the guidance of China’s 15th Five-Year Plan, Chinese scientists are working harder to build a kind of “artificial (人造的) sun”.
What is it like? Of course, it’s not the sun above our heads that provides energy for lives on Earth. In fact, it’s a special machine designed to make the nuclear fusion (核聚变) happen, similar to that of the sun. Nuclear fusion happens when lighter atomic nuclei (原子核) join together to form heavier atomic nuclei. Through this process, a huge amount of energy is produced. Unlike the present nuclear energy production method, this new way is environmentally friendly.
However, producing practical energy from a nuclear fusion machine has many requirements, such as reaching temperatures above 100 million degrees for thousands of seconds. It is a must for the continuous energy production. That is very hard to achieve. Besides, making sure of its controllability is also a challenge.
A report presented by Chinese scientists said that China’s controllable nuclear fusion energy development is entering a decisive period. The machines, such as the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak, or EAST in Hefei, have set world records by keeping temperatures above 100 million degrees for more than 1,000 seconds. It means inside the test machines, humans have created the needed environment for future fusion plants for the first time. So far, no other country in the world has made this achievement. China’s fusion research has developed a lot in recent years. In November 2025, China put forward a research plan to build the BEST machine, China’s next-generation (下一代) “artificial sun”. Once completed by the end of 2027, BEST will do tests and check its working abilities.
Even though there are many challenges, China has been making great progress in fusion energy with world records continuously broken. Controllable nuclear fusion, as one of the main projects during our country’s 15th Five-Year Plan period, brings the hope of clean and rich energy a step closer to reality.
37. Why does the writer mention different kinds of energy in Paragraph 1?
A. To explain their influences.
B. To list the progress made by China.
C. To find out their differences.
D. To show the value of “artificial sun”.
38. How does “artificial sun” produce energy?
A. By repeating testing the sun. B. By working like the sun.
C. By gathering the sun’s atomic nuclei. D. By getting heat from the sun.
39. What do the underlined words “this achievement” refer to (指) in Paragraph 4?
A. Earlier test results have been confirmed. B. Correct working steps have been followed.
C. Possible test reasons have been explained. D. Some working conditions have been reached.
40. What’s the best title for the text?
A. “Artificial Sun”: Future World Record B. “Artificial Sun”: Future Energy Hope
C. “Artificial Sun”: Future Fuel Provider D. “Artificial Sun”: Future Science Leader
第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。
We often think humans are special because we can show many feelings. The large hairy bees called bumblebees can do this too. Do you want to know more? 41
In the study, researchers found that good moods can be spread even among insects with small brains. 42 The bee felt happy and changed its behaviour with the sugar water. It became more willing to land on different types of flowers. Other bees nearby also began acting more cheerfully, even though they didn’t get any sugar water.
43 To answer this question, the research team did many “isolation (隔离)” tests. With special tools, they isolated the possible signal channels (信号通道) of the bees one by one, including those for smelling, touching and seeing. 44 When a bee watches a “happy” bee fly actively, it will become happy too. If they are prevented seeing each other, the happy moods will be completely cut off — even when the two bees are very close.
The finding shows bees can understand others’ positive feelings. This is called positive affective cognition (积极情感认知). 45 Before this study, we didn’t know insects like bees could do this.
So, when we see a bee flying around in the garden, it might be spreading more than just pollen (花粉) — it could be spreading joy!
A. They gave some sugar water to one bee.
B. Here is a study about these bumblebees.
C. It’s often seen in animals with bigger brains.
D. Why did the bees nearby act that cheerfully?
E. At last, they found bees spread happiness by seeing.
F. Positive feelings aren’t the best choice when bees communicate.

The Double Ninth Festival, also named Chong Yang Festival, falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. That’s how it gets its name.
This festival is celebrated for elderly people in China. People think “double ninth” sounds like the word “forever”. It is a day for the elderly to enjoy themselves and also a day for young people to show respect and love for the elders.
There are two main traditions for this festival. On this day, people would like to drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒). Ancient people believed that chrysanthemum could drive away bad luck and prevent one from getting illness in late autumn, so drinking chrysanthemum wine became a tradition at the Double Ninth Festival. Besides, the Chinese word for “wine” is jiu. Its pronunciation is the same as that of the Chinese word for “long”. The word carries best wishes for the elderly.
The festival is celebrated in autumn. The bright clear weather and the joy of harvest make it a perfect time for outdoor activities. On this day, people often go mountain climbing. When climbing, they usually wear zhuyu, which is seen as a kind of plant that can cure diseases. People climb mountains with zhuyu to wish for elders a long life.
In fact, people show respect for elderly people not only on this special day but also in daily life. It has been a traditional virtue (美德) in China for centuries. What’s more, to respect the elderly today is to respect our future selves.
