China, like India, was a developing country and day-to-day life always told us that things were in short supply in 1977. China has lifted 740 million people out of poverty (贫困) in the last four decades. It has become better and better. -An Indian friend “It’s much easier to travel to foreign countries now, and it’s not very expensive.” “When we were young, we wanted to travel to many places, but we failed to do so for many reasons,” said a retired Chinese man Mr Qu. What has changed is that nowadays children have to take after-school classes, which was unnecessary when I was young. At primary school, I had lots of homework. Also, when I was in middle school, I had to get up at 6 a.m. and I didn’t get home until 6 p.m., but I still had time to play sports with my friends, watch TV and read my favourite books and so on. Now, each parent wants his or her child to receive a better education, and with more parents sending their children to after-school classes, a strange, tiring and endless competition has appeared. So it is a great luxury for children to have their own time to relax and do sports. -Xiao Li from a university 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 21. How many people has China lifted out of poverty in the last 40 years?

Easy and cheap. D. Hard and expensive. 23. What time did Xiao Li get home when he was in middle school? A. At 9:00 p.m. B. At 7:00 p.m. C. At 6:00 p.m. D. At 10:00 p.m. 24. What can we infer from Xiao Li’s words? A. Students now have much more free time than before. B. Parents stop sending their kids to after-school classes now. C. After-school classes help students have more time to read books. D. It’s hard for kids today to have free time for sports and relaxation. 25. Where may this article be from? A. An ad. B. A science report. C. A newspaper. D. A poster. B The 2026 World Cup has given us one of its most touching stories. Cape Verde (佛得角), a small African island nation with only about 540,000 people, is playing in its first-ever World Cup. And at the heart of this story is a 40-year-old goalkeeper (门将) named Vozinha. In Cape Verde’s first match, they faced Spain—a former world champion. Spain had 27 shots, but Vozinha made 7 saves, including stops with his chest, fingertips, and even his face. The match ended 0-0, a shocking result that gave Cape Verde its first World Cup point. After the final whistle (哨音), Vozinha cried on the field. His fans jumped from 50,000 to over 2.4 million in just a few hours. But Vozinha’s happiness was not complete. His mother, Ana, had been unable to come to the U.S. to watch him play. Vozinha said after the match, “My mother, she is still in Cape Verde. Because of the visa and the expensive cost, she couldn’t come.” Then a Chinese businessman living in Cape Verde, Lin Jie, decided to help. He brought flowers to Ana, bought her a suitcase and clothes, and took her to the airport. On June 21, Ana sat in the stands to watch her son play against Uruguay. Before the match, Vozinha went to the stands and hugged his mother. Lin Jie watched on TV from Cape Verde and shouted, “Vozinha’s another dream has come true!” Vozinha’s story shows us the power of never giving up. He didn’t become a professional until he was 25, and he played for small clubs in different countries. He once thought about leaving the national team, but he continued because of this dream. Now, at 40, he has finally taken part in his World Cup for the first time. ▲ . As he said, “I worked all my life for this moment, for this dream.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 26. How did Vozinha react after the final whistle of the match against Spain? A. He celebrated with his teammates. B. He waved to the fans. C. He ran to hug his mother. D. He cried on the field. 27. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Cape Verde’s first World Cup match was against Japan. B. A Chinese businessman helped Vozinha’s mother go to the U.S. for the match. C. Vozinha made 7 saves against Spain, all completed with his hands. D. Vozinha’s mother missed the game because she refused to leave Cape Verde. 28. Which of the following can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 5? A. The match against Uruguay was the most important game of his life B. He decided to retire from football after the World Cup C. His story shows that age is just a number when you have a dream D. His mother truly understood why he loved football 29. What can be inferred from Vozinha’s words “I worked all my life for this moment, for this dream.” in Paragraph 5? A. He became a professional football player at a very young age. B. His journey to the World Cup was long and full of effort. C. He never faced any difficulties in his career. D. He started playing football not long ago. 30. Which is the best title for the passage? A. From Small Clubs to the World Stage B. The History of Cape Verdean Football C. Why Spain Lost to Cape Verde D. How to Become a Goalkeeper in One Year C The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others. The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. In addition, unlike traditional study methods like reading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to be more actively involved (参与) in the learning process. If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn. If not, you’ll end up jumping between the topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them. The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts. Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader. The fourth step is to improve your explanation using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic. Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. Why is the Feynman Technique better than traditional study methods? A. It saves students’ study time. B. It allows students to study in groups. C. It encourages students to do active learning. D. It helps students memorize more information. 32. What does the underlined word “indigestible” mean? A. Useful B. Common C. Simple D. Difficult 33. According to the third step, who can you get suggestions from? A. Your parents. B. Your teachers. C. A 12-year-old girl. D. An expert in learning. 34. Which of the following is the correct order for the Feynman Technique? ①Pick a topic to learn. ②Improve the weak areas. ③Explain it in simplest words. ④Repeat the steps until you really learn it. ⑤Find the “imperfect part” of your explanation. A. ①→③→⑤→②→④ B. ①→⑤→②→③→④ C. ⑤→②→①→③→④ D. ③→⑤→②→④→① 35. In which part of a magazine can we most probably find this passage? A. Technology. B. Education. C. Culture. D. Life. D Over the last few centuries, there have been many changes in our lives. ____36____ Planes were not very popular at that time because they used to be (过去是) a very expensive way to travel. Nowadays, more and more people can travel by plane and we can take many other fast and comfortable vehicles. Secondly, in the past, people had to work much harder because they did not have the tools (工具) we have today. ____37____ Thirdly, in the past, the living conditions were not as good as they are now. ____38____ Many people could not buy things like fridges, air conditioners or washing machines.

Many families like to travel by car to the countryside on holiday. Young people like going to the swimming pool and the cinema, while older people like going to the beach and the parks. There is a big new sports center in our town, and there are football matches and races once a week. Hope our town will become Better and Better in the future. Our town has changed a lot in the last forty years when my parents were very Young, most people work as farmers, and there were not many roads in the town. Now in our town, a lot of people work in car factories, officers or banks. The factories are outside the town, and the offices and banks are in the center. In our town, there are many different places to go to in the evenings and at weekends. The roads are clean and wide. Many families like to travel by car to the countryside on holiday.
