Here are some ways to protect yourself. 1. Use sunscreen (防晒霜) properly Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher 20-30 minutes before going outside. Don’t forget to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Studies show that most people apply too little sunscreen, so using enough (about 1 teaspoon for the face) is key. 2. Wear the right clothes Wear long sleeves, hats, and UV-protective sunglasses. Dark-colored clothes with tight weaves block more UV rays than light ones. A good pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes but also prevents fine lines around the eyes caused by squinting (眯眼). 3. Seek shade during peak hours The sun is strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Use natural shade from trees or create your own shade with umbrellas or tents. 4. Drink enough water Drinking plenty of water is important for skin health and overall comfort. When you sweat, your body loses water and salt, so drink lots of water even if you’re not thirsty. You can also enjoy drinks like tea or fruit juice. By following these steps, you’ll reduce the risk of skin damage. Then you can enjoy being outside without worry. Remember: healthy skin means feeling good! 26. Sun protection can not only prevent sunburn but make us _________. A. avoid sweating B. look young C. prevent allergies D. feel good 27. What should you do to keep skin healthy during hot weather? A. Wear light-colored clothes. B. Drink lots of water. C. Avoid using sunglasses. D. Apply sunscreen once a day. 28. This article is most likely taken from which section of a magazine? A. Health. B. Sports. C. Science. D. Travel. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了防晒的重要性，并介绍了一些防晒的方法。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Sun protection is more than just avoiding sunburn—it’s about keeping your skin healthy and feeling good all summer long”可知，防晒不仅能防止晒伤，还能让我们感觉良好。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Drinking plenty of water is important for skin health and overall comfort”可知，在炎热的天气里，多喝水对皮肤健康很重要。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要介绍了防晒的方法和重要性，这些内容与健康相关，因此文章最有可能来自杂志的健康版块。故选A。 B It was very dark outside. I heated the food in the kitchen again, but my dad still didn’t come back from the forest. He worked as a forest ranger (护林员). In the morning, he told me he would go to check the new small trees and that I didn’t need to wait for him for dinner. But now, the wind was blowing hard and making a loud noise, like an animal. I stood at the door and called him, but he didn’t answer. “I can’t wait any longer,” I thought. I took a flashlight from the corner and went out. The light showed me the way, but the shadows of the trees looked scary, like claws. I held the flashlight more tightly. I was worried that Dad might be lost or in trouble, so I walked into the forest slowly. The wind blew harder, and the leaves made noise. I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing. The flashlight was dying. Just then, I heard someone shout, “Xiaoyu? Is that you?” It was Dad! I shouted, “Dad! I’m here!” I saw the light move, and then I saw his orange ranger clothes. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. I could smell the pine on him, and I almost cried. “Son, why are you here?” Dad asked. Dad’s hands were cold, but he hugged me hard. “My phone stopped working. I was on my way home.” I put my face against his coat. Listening to his heartbeat, I felt safe again. 29. Why did the writer go into the forest with a flashlight at night? A.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个护林员的儿子在暴风雨夜冒险进入森林寻找父亲的故事。当父亲迟迟未归时，男孩克服恐惧，带着逐渐微弱的手电筒深入黑暗的森林，最终通过父亲的呼唤声找到彼此。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“but my dad still didn’t come back from the forest”及“But now, the wind was blowing hard and making a loud noise, like an animal. I stood at the door and called him, but he didn’t answer.”可知，作者去找他的父亲，故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据“I took a flashlight from the corner and went out.”“I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing.”“Just then, I heard someone shout”以及“I ran to him and jumped into his arms.”可知，正确的顺序是带手电进森林（②）→害怕但前进（③）→听到呼唤（①）→拥抱父亲（④），故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据“I ran to him and jumped into his arms…and I almost cried”可知，作者看到父亲时情绪很激动，故选B。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，作者的父亲迟迟未归，他克服恐惧，带着逐渐微弱的手电筒深入黑暗的森林，在听到父亲的呼唤时，作者激动地跑到爸爸的怀里，最后听到父亲的心跳，又感到安心，这些都可以看出作者深爱他的父亲，故选A。 C ① Life is full of moments, but some are “special” and stay in our hearts forever. For example, the first time you rode a bike alone, a friend’s hug when you were sad, or an evening talking with family. These moments aren’t always big, but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world. ② Special moments are like treasures. We don’t need to write them down—our hearts remember them. A teacher might praise a shy student’s drawing, making the child feel important. A parent could bake cookies with you on a rainy day, filling the kitchen with laughter. Even strangers can create them: a barista who knows your coffee order, or the neighbor who helps carry groceries. These small acts stay in our minds because they make us feel loved. ③ Businesses also use special moments. A café might play soft music and serve warm cookies on cold days to make customers feel welcome. A bookstore could hold story time for kids every weekend, turning a visit into a happy memory. An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones (冰激凌筒)—seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers. ④ In the end, special moments are everywhere. They don’t need money or planning—just a little care. A kind word, a smile, or a small surprise can make life richer. So take time to enjoy these moments—they make life worth living. 33. What does the passage say about special moments? A. They are always big and exciting. B. We can keep the special things in mind. C. We need to write them down to remember. D. They have nothing to do with how we feel. 34. What does the ice-cream shop probably do according to the passage? A. Sells the cheapest ice-cream. B. Closes early on weekends. C. Refuses to let kids enter. D. Creates ice-cream moments for guests. 35. Which is the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③/④ B. ①②/③④ C. ①/②/③④ D. ①②③/④ 36. What is the passage mainly about? A. The value of special moments in life. B. Why people forget small moments. C. When to plan big and exciting events. D. Where to find the most expensive treasures. 【答案】33. B 34. D 35. A 36. A 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了生活中“特殊时刻”的意义，这些时刻往往看似微小却能在我们心中留下深刻印记。 【33题详解】 第二段明确指出“We don’t need to write them down — our hearts remember them.”因此特殊时刻留在心里，无需记下。 【34题详解】 第三段“An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones (冰激凌筒)—seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers.”可知，冰淇淋店让顾客自己装饰蛋筒，看到孩子微笑是大家记住的时刻，即创造“冰激凌时刻”。 【35题详解】 通读全文，第一段总起引入特殊时刻；第二、三段分别从个人生活和商业角度举例；第四段总结。因此结构为“总—分—总”。 【36题详解】 全文围绕“特殊瞬间”展开，强调它们带给人的温暖和美好，并说明哪些场合和方式会产生这样的瞬间，阐述它们带给我们的意义与价值。 D Plains wanderers are small, rare birds that live in grasslands. Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 37. What do we know about plains wanderers? A. Males are larger than females. B. They are easy to find in grasslands. C. Mother birds are bigger and protect babies. D. They are common in many habitats. 38. The underlined word “monitor” in the last paragraph probably means “________”. A. see B. catch C. feed D. follow 39. How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A. By taking photos of their nests. B. By tracking their flying paths. C. By counting eggs in the grass. D. By analyzing calls from mother birds. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why plains wanderers are rare. B. How mother wanderers protect their chicks. C. What AI can do in daily life. D. How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers. 【答案】37. C 38. D 39. D 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了濒危鸟类平原流浪鸟的独特习性及科学家利用AI技术保护该物种的创新方法。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males.”及“Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals”可知，母鸟体型较大，并会保护幼鸟，故选C。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them”“We can find the most important areas for them”“Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds”可知，AI可以帮助人们监控到这些鸟的一些情况，所以划线单词与follow词义最相近，故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly.…This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have.”可知，通过分析母鸟的叫声来寻找平原流浪鸟，故选D。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife.”可判断，本文介绍了濒危鸟类平原流浪鸟的独特习性及科学家利用AI技术保护该物种的创新方法，故选D。 六、词汇（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 41.

He ________ (成功) in finishing the tough task by working hard last month. 【答案】succeeded 【解析】 【详解】句意：上个月，他通过努力工作成功完成了这项艰巨的任务。根据“last month”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式，表示“成功”的动词是succeed，其过去式为succeeded。 45. We need to ________ (合作) with each other to complete the group project well. 【答案】cooperate 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们需要相互合作，才能很好地完成小组项目。空格处在动词不定式符号to后，需用动词原形。“合作”译为cooperate，符合句意。故填cooperate。 七、任务型阅读（满分10分）注：第66–74小题每空一词，第75小题词数不少于20个。 Have you ever compared your handwriting with your friends’ to see how different it is? Like fingerprints, no two people share the same handwriting. Your handwriting can actually say a lot about what kind of person you are. Try writing out a sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Then see what your handwriting says about you. Size of your handwriting Did you know that the size of your handwriting can represent the level of your self-respect and self-awareness (自我意识)? Large handwriting may show that you’re easy to get along with and that you want to be noticed by others. On the other hand, small handwriting may mean that you’re shy and careful, and always pay attention to details. Medium-sized handwriting shows that it’s easy for you to get used to a new environment. Spacing between words Do you leave a large space between your words when you write? According to a study, the distance between two words can show how close or how far you feel towards others. If you write with wide spacing between your words, it may mean that you enjoy your freedom. On the other hand, people leaving narrow spacing between words may like staying with others. Slant (倾斜) of the words Did you know that the slant in your handwriting can tell how you treat people and things around you? Slanting to the right means you welcome or accept new ideas easily. And you consider your friends and family are more important than anything else. While slanting to the left may show that you think deeply about your own thoughts, feelings or behaviours. And you like to work behind the scenes better. If you write without slanting at all, you may be practical. The handwriting analyses (分析) are not true all the time, but we can read them for fun. What matters most is that you should write carefully. Different people have different handwriting. Your handwriting can actually say a lot about your ____46____ Size The size of handwriting can stand for the level of self-respect and self-awareness you have. Large ● You are easygoing. ● You want to make other people ____47____ you. Small ● You are shy and do things carefully. ● You always pay attention to ____48____.

Here are some ways to protect yourself. 1. Use sunscreen (防晒霜) properly Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher 20-30 minutes before going outside. Don’t forget to reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Studies show that most people apply too little sunscreen, so using enough (about 1 teaspoon for the face) is key. 2. Wear the right clothes Wear long sleeves, hats, and UV-protective sunglasses. Dark-colored clothes with tight weaves block more UV rays than light ones. A good pair of sunglasses not only protects your eyes but also prevents fine lines around the eyes caused by squinting (眯眼). 3. Seek shade during peak hours The sun is strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Use natural shade from trees or create your own shade with umbrellas or tents. 4. Drink enough water Drinking plenty of water is important for skin health and overall comfort. When you sweat, your body loses water and salt, so drink lots of water even if you’re not thirsty. You can also enjoy drinks like tea or fruit juice. By following these steps, you’ll reduce the risk of skin damage. Then you can enjoy being outside without worry. Remember: healthy skin means feeling good! 26. Sun protection can not only prevent sunburn but make us _________. A. avoid sweating B. look young C. prevent allergies D. feel good 27. What should you do to keep skin healthy during hot weather? A. Wear light-colored clothes. B. Drink lots of water. C. Avoid using sunglasses. D. Apply sunscreen once a day. 28. This article is most likely taken from which section of a magazine? A. Health. B. Sports. C. Science. D. Travel. B It was very dark outside. I heated the food in the kitchen again, but my dad still didn’t come back from the forest. He worked as a forest ranger (护林员). In the morning, he told me he would go to check the new small trees and that I didn’t need to wait for him for dinner. But now, the wind was blowing hard and making a loud noise, like an animal. I stood at the door and called him, but he didn’t answer. “I can’t wait any longer,” I thought. I took a flashlight from the corner and went out. The light showed me the way, but the shadows of the trees looked scary, like claws. I held the flashlight more tightly. I was worried that Dad might be lost or in trouble, so I walked into the forest slowly. The wind blew harder, and the leaves made noise. I was scared and kept looking back, but I saw nothing. The flashlight was dying. Just then, I heard someone shout, “Xiaoyu? Is that you?” It was Dad! I shouted, “Dad! I’m here!” I saw the light move, and then I saw his orange ranger clothes. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. I could smell the pine on him, and I almost cried. “Son, why are you here?” Dad asked. Dad’s hands were cold, but he hugged me hard. “My phone stopped working. I was on my way home.” I put my face against his coat. Listening to his heartbeat, I felt safe again. 29. Why did the writer go into the forest with a flashlight at night? A. To look for the newly planted trees. B. To search for his dad. C. To check the forest as a ranger. D. To find his lost phone. 30. What is the correct order of the writer’s experience? ①He heard his father’s call. ②He took a flashlight and entered the forest. ③He felt scared but kept moving forward. ④He ran to his father and hugged him. A. ①②③④ B. ②①④③ C. ②③①④ D. ③②①④ 31. How did the writer most probably feel when he saw his father? A. Angry. B. Excited. C. Afraid. D. Sad. 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. He loved his father deeply. B. He often got lost in the forest. C. He disliked his father’s job. D. His father didn’t care about his safety. C ① Life is full of moments, but some are “special” and stay in our hearts forever. For example, the first time you rode a bike alone, a friend’s hug when you were sad, or an evening talking with family. These moments aren’t always big, but they change how we feel about ourselves and the world. ② Special moments are like treasures. We don’t need to write them down—our hearts remember them. A teacher might praise a shy student’s drawing, making the child feel important. A parent could bake cookies with you on a rainy day, filling the kitchen with laughter. Even strangers can create them: a barista who knows your coffee order, or the neighbor who helps carry groceries. These small acts stay in our minds because they make us feel loved. ③ Businesses also use special moments. A café might play soft music and serve warm cookies on cold days to make customers feel welcome. A bookstore could hold story time for kids every weekend, turning a visit into a happy memory. An ice-cream shop lets customers decorate their own cones (冰激凌筒)—seeing a child smile while adding something is a moment everyone remembers. ④ In the end, special moments are everywhere. They don’t need money or planning—just a little care. A kind word, a smile, or a small surprise can make life richer. So take time to enjoy these moments—they make life worth living. 33. What does the passage say about special moments? A. They are always big and exciting. B. We can keep the special things in mind. C. We need to write them down to remember. D. They have nothing to do with how we feel. 34. What does the ice-cream shop probably do according to the passage? A. Sells the cheapest ice-cream. B. Closes early on weekends. C. Refuses to let kids enter. D. Creates ice-cream moments for guests. 35. Which is the structure of this passage? A. ①/②③/④ B. ①②/③④ C. ①/②/③④ D. ①②③/④ 36. What is the passage mainly about? A. The value of special moments in life. B. Why people forget small moments. C. When to plan big and exciting events. D. Where to find the most expensive treasures. D Plains wanderers are small, rare birds that live in grasslands. Unlike most birds, female plains wanderers are larger and stronger than males. Females take the lead in protecting their nests and babies from animals like foxes, while males often sit on the eggs to keep them warm. These birds are hard to find because their feathers blend into the grass, making them look like part of the landscape. Sadly, their numbers have been dropping because people are taking over their grassland homes for farms and cities. To save them, scientists are using AI. The key is the birds’ calls. Mother wanderers make soft sounds to talk to their chicks and warn about danger. These calls are quiet and easy to miss, but AI can hear them clearly. Scientists put microphones in the grasslands to record sounds all day and night. Then they put these recordings into a computer program. The AI learns to tell the wanderers’ calls apart from other noises, like the wind blowing or insects chirping. This helps scientists find where the mother birds are and how many chicks they have. “AI helps us monitor these birds without bothering them,” says Dr. Lee, who leads the project. “We can find the most important areas for them and work to protect those places.” Once, the AI helped scientists find a hidden nest with three baby birds. Without AI, they might not have found it. Thanks to this technology, there is new hope for these rare birds, showing that AI can be a powerful tool in saving wildlife. 37. What do we know about plains wanderers? A. Males are larger than females. B. They are easy to find in grasslands. C. Mother birds are bigger and protect babies. D. They are common in many habitats. 38. The underlined word “monitor” in the last paragraph probably means “________”. A. see B. catch C. feed D. follow 39. How do scientists use AI to find plains wanderers? A. By taking photos of their nests. B. By tracking their flying paths. C. By counting eggs in the grass. D. By analyzing calls from mother birds. 40. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why plains wanderers are rare. B. How mother wanderers protect their chicks. C. What AI can do in daily life. D. How scientists use AI to protect plains wanderers. 六、词汇（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 41. He is a ________ (好交际的) person and enjoys chatting with lots of people. 42.

Like fingerprints, no two people share the same handwriting. Your handwriting can actually say a lot about what kind of person you are. Try writing out a sentence: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. Then see what your handwriting says about you. Size of your handwriting Did you know that the size of your handwriting can represent the level of your self-respect and self-awareness (自我意识)? Large handwriting may show that you’re easy to get along with and that you want to be noticed by others. On the other hand, small handwriting may mean that you’re shy and careful, and always pay attention to details. Medium-sized handwriting shows that it’s easy for you to get used to a new environment. Spacing between words Do you leave a large space between your words when you write? According to a study, the distance between two words can show how close or how far you feel towards others. If you write with wide spacing between your words, it may mean that you enjoy your freedom. On the other hand, people leaving narrow spacing between words may like staying with others. Slant (倾斜) of the words Did you know that the slant in your handwriting can tell how you treat people and things around you? Slanting to the right means you welcome or accept new ideas easily. And you consider your friends and family are more important than anything else. While slanting to the left may show that you think deeply about your own thoughts, feelings or behaviours. And you like to work behind the scenes better. If you write without slanting at all, you may be practical. The handwriting analyses (分析) are not true all the time, but we can read them for fun.
