Let’s take a look at three classic Chinese cartoons below. Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy is China’s first ink wash cartoon. Artists drew all the animals, plants and rocks with ink and brushes. They learned from the great artist Qi Baishi. It’s only about 15 minutes long, but it took lots of work. Pigsy Eats Watermelon is China’s first paper cutting cartoon. This 15-minute cartoon came out in 1958. Artists cut Pigsy out of colored paper. Then they moved its body parts and let it eat the watermelon. Making a paper cutting cartoon was not easy. The artists failed at first. After more work, they finally did it! The Story of Afanti came out in 1979. The film told a story of a wise man Afanti fighting against the bad people and helping the poor. In this film, all the “actors” and “actresses” are puppets (木偶). They are made of wood and cloth, but they look just like real people. They took the artists a lot of time to make. They show the beauty of Chinese puppets. 26. Which is China’s first ink wash cartoon? A. Little Tadpole Looking for Mummy. B. Pigsy Eats Watermelon. C. The Story of Afanti. D. Journey to the West. 27. When did the cartoon Pigsy Eats Watermelon come out? A. In 1958. B. In 1979. C. In 1997. D. In 2025. 28. What are the characters in The Story of Afanti made of? A. Ink and brush. B. Soft clay. C. Wood and cloth. D. Colored paper. 29. The three Chinese cartoons ________. A. are all about family B. took a lot of time and work C. used ink to paint D. are from Qi Baishi’s painting 30. We may find the text in the ________ part of a newspaper. A. science B. weather C. environment D. film B Everyone has a dream, and so do I. When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being different kinds of people. At first, I wanted to be a teacher because I thought it was cool to teach students new knowledge. I could see the sweet smiles on their faces when they understood something new. It felt like I was lighting up their minds. But later, after watching many exciting medical dramas on TV, I changed my mind. I hoped to become a doctor. I was deeply attracted (吸引) by how doctors worked under pressure using their skills to pull patients back from the edge (边缘) of death. It seemed so amazing to me. Now, as a middle school student, my dream is to be a scientist. I really like science, especially chemistry (化学). I love doing experiments (实验) in the science lab at school. Every time I see a chemical reaction (反应) happen, I feel so excited. I believe that science can change the world. I dream to make some great scientific discoveries in the future. Maybe I can find new ways to make our environment cleaner or develop better medicine to help sick people. I even dream of walking on the moon or even travelling to Mars one day. I know that the road to becoming a scientist is long and full of difficulties. But I’m ready. To make my dream come true, I am working hard at all subjects, especially math and science. I will also read more books about science. I am sure that as long as I keep trying my best, my dream will come true one day. 31. What did the writer want to be at the beginning? A. B. C. D. 32. Why did the writer want to be a doctor? A. Because she thought teaching was boring. B. Because she wanted to make a lot of money. C. Because she was touched by doctors saving lives. D. Because her parents were doctors. 33. Which subject may the writer like best in the school? A. Chemistry. B. Science. C. English. D. Math. 34. What does the writer do to achieve her dream? A. She does experiments often. B. She joins a lot of science clubs. C. She watches science movies. D. She reads more science books. 35. What kind of person is the writer? A. Kind and honest. B. Quiet and shy. C. Active and hardworking. D. Outgoing and patient. C Look around! Labubu, a funny little monster (怪物) toy from China’s Pop Mart company, is becoming popular everywhere. It has big eyes and sharp (尖锐的) teeth. People buy them in “blind boxes” — you don’t know which Labubu toy you get until you open it. This surprise makes it exciting. Why is Labubu so popular? First, it looks special and different. Second, the fun surprise of the blind box makes people want to collect more. Third, young people share photos online, making it even more popular. This is important for China. Labubu isn’t a panda or dragon (as the old symbols of China). It’s a new and creative design. Its worldwide success shows that China can make cool, modern pop culture that everyone enjoys. It helps change how people see things made in China. Besides, Labubu is making the Chinese artists and designers get known by people around the world. As Pop Mart opens stores in other countries, it brings Chinese pop culture to people around the world. In the future, we will probably (可能) see more Chinese characters and stories like Labubu become popular around the world. As China creates fun and cool things, they will continue to spread to new countries. This shows that China’s pop culture can win hearts everywhere in the world. And the world will know and love many more creative ideas from China. 36. What does Labubu look like? A. A cute panda with small eyes. B. A funny monster with big eyes and sharp teeth. C. A traditional Chinese dragon. D. A round toy with no special features. 37. How do people buy Labubu toys? A. By choosing designs you like in open boxes. B. Through online games. C. In “blind boxes” with surprise designs. D. Only in Chinese stores. 38. Why does the writer talk about “panda or dragon”? A. To describe Labubu’s size. B. To show Labubu is a traditional Chinese symbol. C. To explain why Labubu is less popular. D. To compare old symbols with new Chinese creativity. 39. What is the structure of the article? A. B. C. D. 40. What is the best title of the passage? A. Pop Mart’s Money-Making Blind Boxes B. Labubu: A Toy Spreading Chinese pop culture C. Why Young People Collect Labubu D. History of Chinese Traditional Symbols D If you feel stressed at school, what can you do to make yourself happy? Some may eat their favorite food or listen to some music. Others may go for a walk or get some exercise. A new study found another great way to lower students’ stress—playing with dogs. Scientists studied 105 students between the ages of eight and nine. 35 trained dogs and their trainers also took part in the test. The scientists divided the children into 3 groups. The students in the first group spent 20 minutes with a dog and its trainer. They watched the trained dogs perform and even played with them. They did this twice a week for 4 weeks. The second group spent the same amount (数量) of time doing exercise to relax. The last group didn’t do these things. During this time, the scientists recorded the students’ cortisol levels (皮质醇水平). Cortisol is a stress hormone (激素). The more stressed you feel, the more cortisol you will have in your body. What did the scientists find? Both the second and third groups showed rises (上升) in cortisol levels. The first group, however, showed no big rise. And the children in this group had the lowest cortisol levels right after playing with the dogs. According to the study, students enjoy playing with dogs, and it helps them become happier. The stress hormone falls over time this way, which is good for students’ health. But here comes the next question: Is 20 minutes of playtime with a dog the best amount of time? Scientists are going to keep working to find out the answer. 41. What does the underlined word “lower” in paragraph 1 mean? A. 适应 B. 降低 C. 释放 D. 积累 42. What made the testing results of the three groups different? A. The time. B. The age. C. The activity. D. The place. 43. Which one shows the relationship between students’ stress (x) and cortisol levels (y)? A. B. C. D. 44. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Trainers. B. Dogs. C. Scientists. D. Students. 45. What may the scientists study next? A. More useful ways to lower stress. B. New skills of keeping pets at home. C. The best amount of time to play with a dog. D. The most helpful kind of dog to play with. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 It’s important to do some housework at home.
