She lived with her grandparents in 16 small house. One evening, the neighbors were sitting together outside. They started talking about the stars in the night sky. One neighbor said, “I want to know how many stars there are.” Another said, “If 17 can count all the stars in the sky, he will surely be very wise.” Many people from the village got together that night. After 18 carefully, the first man said, “I see one hundred stars”. The second one said, “I see one thousand stars”. But nobody could possibly 19 the exact number. They were all wrong. Then, Lily walked forward. An old man asked, “Does our little girl also want to try?” Everyone laughed. “What is she going to do?” they asked. Lily stood in front of the neighbors, looked at the sky, 20 looked back at them. She said, “In fact, there are two groups of stars.” The neighbors felt surprised, then one asked, “Two groups?

So, it is important for Chinese people to 26 a good number for important things. For example, they choose lucky numbers for wedding dates and dates of moving into a new house. The numbers 6, 8 and 9 are the 27 lucky numbers of most Chinese people. Combinations (字母码组合) of the above are thought as lucky numbers too, such as 66, 88, 168. Of all the individual numbers, 8 is 28 the luckiest number in China. “8” is associated with wealth. “8” in Chinese is pronounced ba and sounds 29 to fa. The traditional Chinese word fa cai means “wealthy” or “becoming 30 in a short time”. There are many 31 or expressions associated with “8”, such as Bamian laicai, meaning “ 32 comes from eight sides” and Bamian chunfeng, meaning “spring wind comes from eight directions”, expressing the wish that someone gets luck wherever she/he goes, or whatever she/he is 33 . Chinese people like to choose “8” as the time or date of important events. For example, the opening 34 of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games started exactly at 8 minutes and 8 seconds past 8 pm on the 8th of August 2008. Chinese’s 35 for 8 can be seen in many other cases, such as house numbers, phone numbers, number plates, wedding dates and the date for opening a business. 8 is considered lucky and favored by Chinese because it holds meaning in both traditional and modern cultures. 26.

This led to the creation of many important encyclopaedias. Ancient Rome The earliest encyclopaedia on record is Natural History by Pliny the Elder. He wrote about his knowledge of ancient Rome. Many of his records were true, but some were hard to believe, like the Scapods with one foot as big as an umbrella! However, Pliny never finished improving his work because he went to Pompeii to visit Mount Vesuvius and died in the eruption (火山爆发). Ancient China From the 10th to the 17th centuries, the Chinese government asked many clever people to create encyclopaedias. In the 11th century, they wrote Four Great Books of Song to collect all the information about the new Song dynasty. In 1408, thousands of Chinese scholars completed Yongle Dadian. It was the largest encyclopaedia until Wikipedia came out about six hundred years later. The Enlightenment (启蒙运动) When printing became common, encyclopaedias grew popular and important. During the Enlightenment, a famous encyclopaedia called Encyclopédie came out in France in the 18th century. Editor Diderot wanted it to change the way people think and help the rising middle class teach themselves. Also, the ideas in the book encouraged people to question the king’s rule. This helped lay the cultural foundation (基础) for the French Revolution (法国大革命). The Internet Age As the world went online, knowledge grew too. Online encyclopaedias started in the early 1990s. By 2001, Wikipedia came out. Then it became the biggest encyclopaedia with more than 300,000 articles. By 2022, it had about 6.5 million articles with pictures, videos and so on, making a lot of information easy to find online. 36. What was the earliest encyclopaedia on record? A. Natural History. B. Four Great Books of Song. C. Encyclopédie. D. Yongle Dadian. 37. What was the largest encyclopaedia worldwide in the early 1980s? A. Wikipedia. B. Four Great Books of Song. C. Encyclopédie Britannica. D. Yongle Dadian. 38. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph? A. French people were stupid at that time. B. Encyclopédie was an English encyclopaedia. C. Encyclopédie challenged the traditions of its time. D. The development of printing did not help people learn. 39. What can we learn from the history of encyclopaedias? A. People have never stopped looking for and sharing knowledge. B. Only intelligent and knowledgeable people can create encyclopaedias. C. Europe was the world’s education centre over the past two thousand years. D. Europeans and Chinese could not exchange information until the Internet Age. 40. Where can you most probably find this article? A. From a storybook. B. From an art magazine. C. From a diary. D. From a learning website. (B) Can you say the meaning of “zero”? Can you do addition and subtraction (加减法)? Most people can. But do you know bees can do these things too? A study shows that bees have even greater maths abilities. After some training, they can know the difference between even numbers and odd numbers. Some Australian scientists put up different cards with an odd (基数的) or even (偶数的) number of triangles (三角形). They used the numbers 1 to 10. Then they trained the first group of bees to choose odd numbers and the second group to choose even numbers. If a bee flew to the right card, it would get sweet water. If it chose the wrong card, it got bitter (苦的) water. In a short time, all the bees knew what odd numbers or even numbers were. They could fly to the right numbers 80% of the time. After that, the scientists added new cards with the numbers 11 and 12. The bees never saw the numbers in their training before, but they could choose rightly 70% of the time. Surprisingly, the bees even learned odd numbers more quickly than people. How did the bees learn the numbers so fast? Scientists didn’t have a clear idea. But they believe if they find the answer, it will help them build better and faster computers. After all, a bee’s brain is about 86,000 times smaller than ours! 41.

Bees like odd numbers better than even numbers. C. Scientists know how bees learn numbers. D. Scientists know why bees can tell different numbers. 45. In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage? A. Animal World. B. Sports Life. C. Festival Week. D. Beautiful Cities. (C) The 15th National Games ended on Friday, November 21, 2025. The closing ceremony took place in Shenzhen and was as modern and creative as the city itself. It featured many leading robots and a special coastal stage — the first of its kind.

Each student had to book a “virtual trip” and write short reports about what they learnt. For example, Amy chose to “visit” Mexico. She used an online tool to see a market. People there had signboards with prices of bags and hats. When talking about virtual travel, the 68. ________ (big) advantage is its simplicity. You don’t need to buy plane tickets, wait at airports or carry heavy luggage. You can “go” to a castle in Scotland in the morning and a rainforest in Brazil in the afternoon — all from your desk.
