Everyone in the class was excited. They chatted happily about their vacation experiences and shared interesting stories. They all enjoyed themselves. In the moral (道德) education class, the headteacher asked the students a special question, “Why do you study?” The classroom immediately became quiet, and then several students raised their hands one after another to answer it. “I study for my father,” one student answered. “I study to learn the truth,” another replied. “I study to bring honour to the family,” some students simply answered like this. The headteacher saw a classmate sitting in his seat quietly, thinking. He walked to him and asked him to answer. The boy stood up and answered clearly and firmly (坚定地), “I study for the rise of China!” The headteacher was excited! He had never expected that a child in his teens would have such ambitions and dreams! He opened his eyes wide and asked again, “Tell me again. Why do you study?” “I study for the rise of China!” The whole class fell silent for a moment, and then the headteacher smiled with great satisfaction and praised him warmly, “Great! For the rise of China. We students should have such ambitions and dreams, and this classmate is our role model!” Who is this classmate? He is Zhou Enlai.

They are people who never give up, keep working hard and influence others positively. In the fast-changing modern world, many teenagers feel confused and stressed. They easily lose heart when they meet failures. However, inspiring role models teach us a valuable lesson: progress never comes easily. Most successful and inspiring people experienced a number of difficulties. Some suffered from poor living conditions in their childhood. Some failed hundreds of times before final success. Some even gave up a comfortable life to stick to their dreams and serve the public. What makes them special is their strong will and positive attitude towards life. We admire these people not only for their achievements, but also for their spirits. Their stories inspire us to face changes bravely, overcome difficulties and keep improving ourselves. The world is always changing, but the spirit of hard work never changes. As teenagers, we should learn from inspiring people, adapt to social changes actively, and try to become better versions of ourselves. 1．What problem do many modern teenagers face?

But some young people are trying their best to bring positive changes to the world. 16-year-old Xiao Yu has a strong interest in traditional paper-cutting. When he found that few of his classmates knew about this old art, he decided to do something. He searched for old books and learned the skills from local artists in his free time. Later, he set up a paper-cutting club at his school. It has attracted more than 40 students. They hold shows to share the beauty of the art and sell some of their works. The money goes to a project to help homeless old people in the community. Xiao Yu says he knows he cannot change the whole world, but he hopes his small efforts can light a spark in more teenagers. “Many of us think we are too young to make a difference.

She became well-known in a new season of the TV programme, which tells people how young people build their careers after leaving school. The programme followed 12 students who studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As the youngest one, Ayi at first was unnoticed. By the end of the season, however, she surprised all with her great progress. Ayi was not from a family of doctors. Her earliest interest in traditional medicine was awakened in her old town. In that place, people believed mutton soup cured illness faster than seeing doctors in hospital. When her grandmother died of illness, she realized good doctors are needed in this place. That was when she decided to become one to serve the people there. In 2018, thanks to an education program for Xinjiang middle school students, Ayi had a chance to study in a Shenzhen high school. Three years later, she was accepted by Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. However, the road to becoming a TCM doctor was never easy. For her, it’s especially difficult to understand ancient Chinese medical books. “Terms (术语), like yin and yang, were totally a new way of thinking. So I was always half a step behind my classmates,” Ayi said. To catch up, she put in more time and developed a study method of her own. Along with her schoolwork, Ayi got practical experience by taking part in more than 13 volunteer activities. Ayi’s greatest dream is to return to Xinjiang and use her TCM knowledge to serve local people, “Back in Kashgar. I know many people don’t look for medical care, so I believe it’s deeply meaningful to use TCM, which is simple, cheap and works well,” Ayi said. 1．Why did Ayi become famous in the TV programme? A．Because she made great progress. B．Because she learned TCM by herself. C．Because she is the youngest one. D．Because she got the best scores in the school. 2．What made Ayi decide to be a doctor?

C．Hard-working. D．Humorous. In 2020, at age 14, William Cabaniss noticed that some of his classmates were skipping meals due to food shortage, and he wanted to do something. To help his classmates and his community, he started making bottles of homemade vanilla extract (香草精) and donated 100% of his profits (利润) to his local food bank. “No one should be hungry,” William said. “No one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.” William had been enjoying baking as a hobby. One day, while baking a pan of cakes and adding vanilla, he realized he could easily produce his own vanilla extract rather than buying it at the supermarket. Then he took the idea a step further by planning to sell the vanilla extract and donate all profits to the local food bank where he volunteered. He immediately went to work putting his new plan into action. He used his own recipe to produce as many bottles of vanilla extract as possible during his free time. He then created a logo and designed a website to start the business. In 2020, William invited volunteers to join him on his mission to fight hunger in his community. The extremely positive response allowed him to expand his program into a non-profit organization, Vanilla Feeds Tomorrow. The non-profit project continues operations today, and William donates the profit to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee. Each 30 bottles sold provides about 42 meals to people in need, and the organization has raised more than $200,000 to date. “There was no one better. They support so many counties across East Tennessee and, within those counties, there’ re so many distribution areas or food storage rooms and charities,” William said of Second Harvest. “Their range is just truly awe-inspiring. I wanted every penny to go as far as it could.” 1．What can we infer about William from the first two paragraphs? A．He was forced by his school to help his classmates. B．He was sad because his family was short of food. C．He decided to take action after noticing a problem. D．He believed that only he could solve the hunger problem. 2．What does the underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Grow in size. B．Change in purpose. C．Speed up.

B．To explain why William needed to sell so many bottles. C．To show the great influence William’s project has made. D．To prove that selling vanilla extract is a good business. 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．A Teen’s Baking Hobby B．Baking to Fight Hunger C．Helping at a Food Bank D．A Teen’s Business Success Over the years, people have used different forms of money as a way to trade or save. Seashells It is said that the first kind of money was seashells. People used them as money around 3,000 years ago. Coins Then people learned to make metal coins. These coins were made of gold, silver, iron and so on. The earliest metal coins were made of gold. They were from Lydia (an ancient country), and were used around 600 BCE. Paper money The first paper money, called “jiaozi”, appeared in China’s Song Dynasty. In the 1600s, banks of Sweden started giving out paper money. It has become popular around the world and is still widely used today. Digital money Now, people often pay for things online.

A food delivery driver (外卖骑手) became an online hero for his brave act. One day, he protected a 14-year-old girl from being bullied (被欺负) by a dangerous man on a street in Beijing, Xinhua reported. The girl was cycling when the man suddenly cut her off with his bike, forcing her into busy traffic where she nearly got hit. Shockingly, the man kept chasing her, even pulling her off her bicycle! Luckily, the delivery driver Meng Shixiang saw this. He quickly stepped in, standing bravely between the girl and the man. He rebuked (斥责) the man until he left. This brave moment was caught on camera and spread quickly online. Faced with online praise, Meng said, “I just did something small. I didn’t think much about it — I simply couldn’t stand by and watch the girl get bullied.” However, behind his courage lies a terrible reality. Meng has two sons with a rare genetic disorder (遗传性疾病). This serious illness causes stiff joints (关节僵硬), bone problems, and heart issues. His elder son has had seven operations but remains disabled. To get better treatment, Meng and his wife brought their younger son to Beijing. He became a delivery driver because this job offers flexible (灵活的) time for hospital visits. Years of medical costs used up all their savings. At the worst time, medication costs reached 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per month. Meng once cried alone under a bridge, but never thought of giving up. Thankfully, kindness found them too. Friends, relatives and charities helped with money and supplies. Meng’s delivery company gave him special funds, and customers often showed understanding if orders were late. Best of all, a matching bone marrow donor (骨髓捐献者) was found! After a successful transplant in 2023, his younger son is now much healthier. “Beijing is full of warmth and love,” Meng says gratefully. “I’ve gotten so much help from people here, so I also want to help others when I can.” 1．Why did Meng Shixiang become a hero on the internet?

C．Everyone can become a hero in daily life. D．Kindness creates a cycle of love and help. While some young people may know little about the value of money, many have learned it through different kinds of financial (金融的) education. In modern society, more and more people use mobile phones to pay for things instead of cash. Without an exact understanding of money, many young people may not fully understand that mobile payment also uses real money. For example, an 11-year-old boy in the UK spent more than £2,000 on an online game, without thinking about the real financial influence of his mobile payment. So young people who have grown up in cashless societies may not know much about the true value of money. However, having financial knowledge is not a talent, and everyone can have this ability through learning. With the help of parents, children can develop a habit of saving and learn to manage their own money. Some parents do so through moneyboxes and savings accounts. Other parents may use electronic red envelopes (红包) to encourage their children to use apps to save money and record their own spending. Also, young people can further develop their understanding of the value of money through schools and governments. Schools can play an important role in teaching financial skills to students. In Denmark, students in Grades Seven to Nine must take financial education courses. Governments can also give help to the young through programmes and activities. For example, Singapore’s national financial education programme, MoneySense, developed a new activity to offer people financial knowledge through educational TV programmes. In a word, with the efforts of parents, schools and governments, young people can better understand the value of money. 1．What is young people’s problem about money today? A．They refuse to pay for things in cash. B．They hardly spend money on important things. C．They don’t have an exact understanding of money. D．They never save money or record their spending. 2．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Saving money is always difficult for young children. B．Parents can help children learn to manage money in different ways. C．Children should make money by using mobile apps. D．Electronic red envelopes are widely used among teenagers. 3．What can we learn from the examples of Denmark and Singapore? A．Financial knowledge is a natural talent for young people. B．All students must receive financial education. C．Mobile payment is very popular in the two countries. D．Governments and schools can provide financial education. 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To introduce some useful financial skills. B．To explain why people prefer mobile payment. C．To call for action on financial education. D．To sell courses on financial education. Where does your money go every month? If you’re like most teenagers, you probably don’t know exactly. But learning to manage money is an important life skill. Take Jacky and Ella, for example. They’re both teenagers, but they have completely opposite views on money. Jacky loves buying things—video games, snacks, and clothes in fashion. He spends all his pocket money as soon as he gets it. Then, when he really needs something, he never has enough. “I just can’t help it,” Jacky says. “When I see something I like, I always want to buy it.” Ella is much more careful. Every month, she divides her money into three parts: saving, spending, and giving. She saves 50% of her pocket money, spends 40% on things she needs, and gives 10% to charity (慈善机构). “I feel good to help others,” Ella says. “And I never worry about running out of money.” Ella’s parents encouraged her to open a savings account at a bank. “When you put money in the bank, it can grow,” her mother told her. “The bank pays you interest (利息) for keeping your money there.” Ella opened an account and now watches her money grow. Jacky has decided to learn from Ella. He starts making a budget and putting aside some money each week. “It’s not easy,” he admits (承认). “But I’m getting better at it.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．Which can replace the underlined word “opposite” in Paragraph 2? A．old-fashioned B．spare C．expensive D．different 2．What is Jacky’s problem with money? A．He doesn’t get enough pocket money. B．He spends all his pocket money as soon as he gets it. C．He never buys anything for himself. D．He doesn’t know how to open a bank account. 3．How does Ella divide her pocket money? A．All for saving. B．All for spending. C．Into three parts: saving, spending, and giving. D．Into two parts: spending and giving. 4．What did Ella’s parents encourage her to do? A．To open a savings account. B．To spend less on snacks. C．To give money to people in need. D．To learn from Jacky. 5．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Jacky will never change his habits. B．Jacky has started to manage his money better. C．Ella has stopped saving money. D．Jacky now spends more money than before. At an early age, we start learning how to manage money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget. In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate (满足) us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 1．What is the key to making smart spending choices? A．Buying everything we want. B．Planning before spending. C．Asking for more pocket money. D．Working hard like our parents. 2．What does the writer want kids to do by giving the example of buying a bicycle? A．Buy a wonderful notebook. B．Make a free spending choice. C．Set a goal of saving money. D．Have an experience of shopping. 3．What is the best title for the text? A．Causes of Spending Money B．Ways of Managing Money C．Purposes of Treating Money D．Conditions of Saving Money 4．The structure of the text is ________.  (①= para. 1  ②= para. 2  ③= para. 3…) A． B． C． D． Chinese researchers have discovered the earliest known writings on horses, written on bamboo strips (竹简) dating back over 2,000 years to the Warring States Period (475 BC—221 BC). Five bamboo strips related to horses were found by Tsinghua University’s Research and Conservation Center. Experts say these are the earliest organized documents in China covering horse checking, animal care, training, and guidance. Associate Professor Shi Xiaoli said that during the Warring States Period, people often fought with chariots (战车), so knowing how to ride a horse was very important. The newly shared text about how to guide horses fills a long-time missing part in ancient Chinese writings about how to ride horses. Huang Dekuan, director of the center, noted that horses played an important role in ancient society. Better ways of training and raising horses helped people travel more easily, made the army stronger, supported cultural exchange, and pushed human society to grow. Researchers say that this discovery gives us useful information for studying ancient Chinese horse riding and the raising of animals. It also helps us learn about animal remains and the history of caring for sick animals. 1．When were the horse writings on bamboo strips first created? A．Around the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Han Dynasty. C．During the Warring States Period. D．About 1,000 years ago. 2．Why were horse riding skills important at that time? A．Horses were rare and expensive. B．People rode horses mainly for fun. C．Horses were used only for travel. D．Chariot fighting needed skilled riders. 3．What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A．Horses helped form early Chinese writing. B．Horses were difficult to raise in ancient society. C．Horses played many important roles in ancient China. D．Horses were used only for cultural exchange. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①/②③④⑤ 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How ancient Chinese cared for sick animals. B．A discovery that helps study ancient horse culture. C．Why bamboo strips were used for writing. D．The development of Chinese farming skills. ① What comes to mind when you think of archaeologists? Are they as cool as the characters in some movies? Let’s discover the world of archaeologists. ② Find places. Historical treasures are often hidden underground. To find the right place for digging, archaeologists do surveys to search for signs of ancient sites (遗址), such as broken pieces of ancient tools. It’s hard work. They have to walk across the field in all kinds of weather. Besides, it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to tell an ordinary(普通的) rock from a stone tool. ③ Do research. Archaeologists spend a lot of time in the lab studying the discoveries. With modern technology, it is easier than ever to solve these mysteries. First, they find out the age of the things discovered. They also check human or animal bones to learn how they died and what they ate. ④ Repair and clean. Ancient objects can be damaged in different ways. Bowls and cups are often in pieces, and metal tools are usually covered with rust (铁锈). Before repairing them, archaeologists use X-rays to check the damage. They must be patient and careful so as not to damage their value. ⑤ Though the job can be very tiring or require working long hours in the lab, most archaeologists are proud of their work. It’s their hard work that has brought the lost treasures back to life. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing facts. B．By offering ideas. C．By asking questions. D．By giving examples. 2．What do archaeologists have to do when finding places? A．They have to repair broken tools. B．They have to study bones in the lab. C．They have to ask local people for help. D．They have to work in different weather conditions. 3．What does the underlined word “damage” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A．break B．harm C．change D．hide 4．Which is the right structure of the text? (①= Paragraph 1, ②= Paragraph 2, …) A． B． C． D． 5．What would be the best title for the passage? A．The Work of Archaeologists B．The Way to Become Archaeologists C．The Search for Historical Treasures D．The Mysteries of Historical Treasures Have you noticed that the picture of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, looks different in today’s history textbooks? For many years, students saw him with a “shoehorn face”, which means he had a chin (下巴) that stuck out and a very long face. Now, the picture has changed to make him look more calm and handsome. This change isn’t brand-new. The new picture has been in high school textbooks since 2019, and it was added to Grade 7 textbooks in 2024. In history, Zhu is pictured with two different appearances. One is called the zhengxing portrait (肖像), showing him with a round face and calm expression. The other is the yixing portrait, showing a sticking-out chin, long face and many dark spots. Historians believe the zhengxing portrait is closer to how Zhu really looked. This idea is supported by family features, as his son, Zhu Di, also had a round face. Why are there two types of portraits? Professor Jin Wen explains that the yixing portrait became popular because of ancient beliefs. People thought that if a ruler looked unusual, it was a sign from heaven, making them trust the ruler more. In fact, Zhu himself also encouraged this unusual image. Some studies suggest he did this to protect himself by not showing his real look. Today, not only textbooks but also the portraits at the Ming Xiaoling Museum in Nanjing show the zhengxing portrait. Many visitors support this change. It is not only about making the emperor look better, but it also helps young people think more critically about history. They can have their own understanding and judgement.Meanwhile, using the correct pictures shows respect for historical characters and helps teach history correctly, said Professor Lin Wei from Zhejiang University. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraphs 1 and 2? A．Zhu Yuanzhang was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. B．The new picture has been in high school textbooks since 2019. C．The change of Zhu Yuanzhang’s picture is a completely new thing. D．Zhu Yuanzhang is the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty. 2．How is the passage organized? A．Introduction→ Facts of two portraits→ Reasons→ Influence of the change. B．Opinion→ Examples→ Conclusions. C．Problem→ Ways to solve the problem. D．Comparison between two different periods. 3．What does the underlined word “critically” in the last paragraph mean? A．Understand quickly and use freely. B．Follow blindly and accept fully. C．Judge independently and never believe easily. D．Learn carefully and remember for long. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Zhu Yuanzhang liked the yixing portrait because it looked like his true appearance. B．We should learn to think independently when we study history. C．Most visitors in Ming Xiaoling Museum dislike the zhengxing portrait. D．All old portraits of ancient rulers are not real. 请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Yang Chen-Ning, a world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University. He was highly respected, as his influence on science and education would last forever. Born in 1922 in Hefei, Anhui Province, Yang moved to Beijing with his family in 1929. He started his university studies at the National Southwestern Associated University in 1938 and got his master’s degree from Tsinghua University in 1944. One year later, he went to the United States for further study and received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1948. In 1957, Yang and his partner Tsung-Dao Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Their discovery of the behaviour of tiny particles (粒子) changed scientists’ understanding of particle physics. Working with Robert Mills, he created the “Yang-Mills theory”. It has become a key part of the Standard Model that explains the basic forces of the universe. From 1949 to 1966, Yang worked at Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study. Later he taught at the State University of New York until 1999. He often travelled back to China. He worked as a visiting professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong from 1986 and helped set up Tsinghua’s advanced studies program. He loved his motherland greatly. He pushed for science education and Sino-US academic (学术) exchange. He encouraged many overseas (海外的) Chinese researchers to come back. He also raised money for Chinese students studying overseas. Yang’s life is a moving legend. His lifelong exploration and deep love for the country show people knowledge and hard work can shape the future. 1．Why was Yang Chen-Ning highly respected? A．Because he once won the Nobel Prize in Physics. B．Because he was a professor at Tsinghua University. C．Because of his achievements in science and education. 2．When did Yang Chen-Ning enter the university? A．At the age of 16. B．At the age of 22. C．At the age of 35. 3．What did Yang Chen-Ning do to show his love for China? A．He helped improve science education in China. B．He asked overseas Chinese to donate money to China. C．He often came back to China to do scientific research. 4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Yang Chen-Ning was born and raised up in Beijing. B．Yang won the Nobel Prize for his Yang-Mills theory. C．Yang has set a great example to us using his life story. 5．What can be the best title of the passage? A．Yang Chen-Ning’s Love for His Country B．The Life Experience of Yang Chen-Ning C．Yang Chen-Ning and the Nobel Prize People say that “travel is the best teacher”. And there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake not only encouraged the love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography. Born into a rich family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. Later, Xu’s father died. It seemed that his travelling dreams died too. He was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his mother. But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love for travelling, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind his mother and his new wife. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming Dynasty, carefully studying the lands and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 2,600,000 words, finally became The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, going almost everywhere on foot.

Young researchers are always making quiet contributions to social development with perseverance and responsibility. Zhang Li, an outstanding young agricultural scientist, has devoted all her youth to rural agricultural research, bringing great changes to farmers’ lives. In many dry rural areas, drought has long been a serious problem. It causes poor crop growth and low grain output, which makes local farmers face heavy economic losses every year. Facing this tough problem, Zhang Li made up her mind to develop drought-resistant and high-yield crop varieties to help farmers get rid of poverty and increase income. At the beginning of her research, she met countless difficulties. The field environment was tough, and repeated experiments ended in failure. Many people thought her research was too difficult to succeed and advised her to give up. But Zhang Li never lost heart. She was worried that local farmers would continue to suffer from low harvests without improved crop varieties. She was certain that continuous experiments and careful data analysis would bring breakthroughs. She spent nearly every day working in the farmland, observing crop growth, recording experimental data and adjusting research plans. She read a large number of agricultural materials and consulted senior experts repeatedly. After years of unremitting efforts, she finally developed several new crop varieties. These varieties can adapt to dry environments and produce higher yields, greatly improving local grain production. Up to now, her research achievements have benefited dozens of villages. Zhang Li always says that meaningful achievements never come easily. They depend on long-term persistence, rigorous research attitude and a strong sense of social responsibility. She is considered as a role model for young scientific researchers, and her spirit inspires more teenagers to stick to their dreams and serve society with practical actions. 1．What is Zhang Li’s great achievement? A．She wrote professional agricultural books. B．She developed high-yield drought-resistant crops. C．She built farms for poor villages. D．She invented new farming tools. 2．Why did Zhang Li start her agricultural research? A．She wanted to win professional awards. B．Senior experts encouraged her to do so. C．Drought caused low grain output and farmers’ losses. D．Traditional crops had no practical value. 3．Which words can best describe Zhang Li? A．Lazy and careless. B．Persistent and responsible. C．Shy and sensitive. D．Strict and humorous. 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The harm of drought to agriculture. B．A young researcher’s achievements and noble spirit. C．New types of crops in rural areas.

She became well-known in a new season of the TV programme, which tells people how young people build their careers after leaving school. The programme followed 12 students who studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As the youngest one, Ayi at first was unnoticed. By the end of the season, however, she surprised all with her great progress. Ayi was not from a family of doctors. Her earliest interest in traditional medicine was awakened in her old town. In that place, people believed mutton soup cured illness faster than seeing doctors in hospital. When her grandmother died of illness, she realized good doctors are needed in this place. That was when she decided to become one to serve the people there. In 2018, thanks to an education program for Xinjiang middle school students, Ayi had a chance to study in a Shenzhen high school. Three years later, she was accepted by Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. However, the road to becoming a TCM doctor was never easy. For her, it’s especially difficult to understand ancient Chinese medical books. “Terms (术语), like yin and yang, were totally a new way of thinking. So I was always half a step behind my classmates,” Ayi said. To catch up, she put in more time and developed a study method of her own. Along with her schoolwork, Ayi got practical experience by taking part in more than 13 volunteer activities. Ayi’s greatest dream is to return to Xinjiang and use her TCM knowledge to serve local people, “Back in Kashgar. I know many people don’t look for medical care, so I believe it’s deeply meaningful to use TCM, which is simple, cheap and works well,” Ayi said. 1．Why did Ayi become famous in the TV programme?

To help his classmates and his community, he started making bottles of homemade vanilla extract (香草精) and donated 100% of his profits (利润) to his local food bank. “No one should be hungry,” William said. “No one should have to worry about where their next meal is coming from.” William had been enjoying baking as a hobby. One day, while baking a pan of cakes and adding vanilla, he realized he could easily produce his own vanilla extract rather than buying it at the supermarket. Then he took the idea a step further by planning to sell the vanilla extract and donate all profits to the local food bank where he volunteered. He immediately went to work putting his new plan into action. He used his own recipe to produce as many bottles of vanilla extract as possible during his free time. He then created a logo and designed a website to start the business. In 2020, William invited volunteers to join him on his mission to fight hunger in his community. The extremely positive response allowed him to expand his program into a non-profit organization, Vanilla Feeds Tomorrow. The non-profit project continues operations today, and William donates the profit to Second Harvest Food Bank of East Tennessee. Each 30 bottles sold provides about 42 meals to people in need, and the organization has raised more than $200,000 to date. “There was no one better. They support so many counties across East Tennessee and, within those counties, there’ re so many distribution areas or food storage rooms and charities,” William said of Second Harvest. “Their range is just truly awe-inspiring. I wanted every penny to go as far as it could.” 1．What can we infer about William from the first two paragraphs? A．He was forced by his school to help his classmates. B．He was sad because his family was short of food. C．He decided to take action after noticing a problem. D．He believed that only he could solve the hunger problem. 2．What does the underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Grow in size. B．Change in purpose. C．Speed up. D．Make more money. 3．Why does the author mention “Each 30 bottles sold provides about 42 meals”? A．To show the price of the vanilla extract is too high. B．To explain why William needed to sell so many bottles. C．To show the great influence William’s project has made. D．To prove that selling vanilla extract is a good business. 4．What can be the best title of the text? A．A Teen’s Baking Hobby B．Baking to Fight Hunger C．Helping at a Food Bank D．A Teen’s Business Success 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了14岁的William发现同学面临食物短缺，利用烘焙爱好制作香草精售卖，并将利润捐赠给食物银行以对抗饥饿的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“William Cabaniss noticed that some of his classmates were skipping meals due to food shortage, and he wanted to do something.”可知，William是在注意到同学因食物短缺不吃饭这个问题后，决定采取行动去帮助他们。 2．词句猜测题。根据第五段“The extremely positive response allowed him to expand his program into a non-profit organization...”可知，积极的回应让他的项目发展成了一个非营利组织，说明项目规模扩大了，因此expand意为“扩大规模”。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“Each 30 bottles sold provides about 42 meals to people in need, and the organization has raised more than $200,000 to date.”可知，作者列举30瓶销售额能提供多少餐食以及筹集的资金总额，是为了展示William的项目产生的巨大影响。 4．最佳标题题。根据第一段“To help his classmates and his community, he started making bottles of homemade vanilla extract...and donated 100% of his profits to his local food bank.”及全文内容可知，文章核心是William通过烘焙制作香草精来对抗饥饿，选项B准确概括了这一主题。 Over the years, people have used different forms of money as a way to trade or save.

One day, he protected a 14-year-old girl from being bullied (被欺负) by a dangerous man on a street in Beijing, Xinhua reported. The girl was cycling when the man suddenly cut her off with his bike, forcing her into busy traffic where she nearly got hit. Shockingly, the man kept chasing her, even pulling her off her bicycle! Luckily, the delivery driver Meng Shixiang saw this. He quickly stepped in, standing bravely between the girl and the man. He rebuked (斥责) the man until he left. This brave moment was caught on camera and spread quickly online. Faced with online praise, Meng said, “I just did something small. I didn’t think much about it — I simply couldn’t stand by and watch the girl get bullied.” However, behind his courage lies a terrible reality. Meng has two sons with a rare genetic disorder (遗传性疾病). This serious illness causes stiff joints (关节僵硬), bone problems, and heart issues. His elder son has had seven operations but remains disabled. To get better treatment, Meng and his wife brought their younger son to Beijing. He became a delivery driver because this job offers flexible (灵活的) time for hospital visits. Years of medical costs used up all their savings. At the worst time, medication costs reached 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per month. Meng once cried alone under a bridge, but never thought of giving up. Thankfully, kindness found them too. Friends, relatives and charities helped with money and supplies. Meng’s delivery company gave him special funds, and customers often showed understanding if orders were late. Best of all, a matching bone marrow donor (骨髓捐献者) was found! After a successful transplant in 2023, his younger son is now much healthier. “Beijing is full of warmth and love,” Meng says gratefully. “I’ve gotten so much help from people here, so I also want to help others when I can.” 1．Why did Meng Shixiang become a hero on the internet?

One day, he protected a 14-year-old girl from being bullied (被欺负) by a dangerous man on a street in Beijing.”，说明孟世祥在网上走红是因为他保护女孩免受欺凌。 2．第三段提到“He quickly stepped in, standing bravely between the girl and the man. He rebuked (斥责) the man until he left.”，说明孟世祥不断斥责这名男子，直到他离开，以此救下女孩。 3．第五段提到“Meng has two sons with a rare genetic disorder (遗传性疾病). This serious illness causes stiff joints (关节僵硬), bone problems, and heart issues.”，第六段提到“Years of medical costs used up all their savings.”，综合两段信息可以推断，因为两个孩子身患重病，孟世祥的生活十分艰难。 4．文中孟先生善意救人，之后他人、公司也向困境中的孟先生伸出援手，孟先生也想要继续帮助别人，能看出善意能够形成爱与帮助的循环，这是文章想要传达的核心道理。 While some young people may know little about the value of money, many have learned it through different kinds of financial (金融的) education. In modern society, more and more people use mobile phones to pay for things instead of cash. Without an exact understanding of money, many young people may not fully understand that mobile payment also uses real money. For example, an 11-year-old boy in the UK spent more than £2,000 on an online game, without thinking about the real financial influence of his mobile payment. So young people who have grown up in cashless societies may not know much about the true value of money. However, having financial knowledge is not a talent, and everyone can have this ability through learning. With the help of parents, children can develop a habit of saving and learn to manage their own money. Some parents do so through moneyboxes and savings accounts. Other parents may use electronic red envelopes (红包) to encourage their children to use apps to save money and record their own spending. Also, young people can further develop their understanding of the value of money through schools and governments. Schools can play an important role in teaching financial skills to students. In Denmark, students in Grades Seven to Nine must take financial education courses. Governments can also give help to the young through programmes and activities. For example, Singapore’s national financial education programme, MoneySense, developed a new activity to offer people financial knowledge through educational TV programmes. In a word, with the efforts of parents, schools and governments, young people can better understand the value of money. 1．What is young people’s problem about money today? A．They refuse to pay for things in cash. B．They hardly spend money on important things. C．They don’t have an exact understanding of money. D．They never save money or record their spending. 2．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．Saving money is always difficult for young children. B．Parents can help children learn to manage money in different ways. C．Children should make money by using mobile apps. D．Electronic red envelopes are widely used among teenagers. 3．What can we learn from the examples of Denmark and Singapore? A．Financial knowledge is a natural talent for young people. B．All students must receive financial education. C．Mobile payment is very popular in the two countries. D．Governments and schools can provide financial education. 4．What is the writer’s purpose of writing the text? A．To introduce some useful financial skills. B．To explain why people prefer mobile payment. C．To call for action on financial education. D．To sell courses on financial education. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，指出年轻人对金钱价值认知不足的问题，并阐述家长、学校及政府如何通过金融教育帮助他们建立正确的金钱观。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Without an exact understanding of money, many young people may not fully understand that mobile payment also uses real money.”可知，如今年轻人关于金钱的问题是对金钱没有准确的理解。   2．主旨大意题。根据第三段“With the help of parents, children can develop a habit of saving and learn to manage their own money.”及后续列举的父母使用存钱罐、电子红包等不同方式，可知本段主要讲述父母可以通过不同方式帮助孩子学习理财。   3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Schools can play an important role in teaching financial skills to students.”和“Governments can also give help to the young through programmes and activities.”结合丹麦和新加坡的例子，可知学校和政府能够提供金融教育。   4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In a word, with the efforts of parents, schools and governments, young people can better understand the value of money.”及全文对各方教育措施的介绍，可知作者写作目的是呼吁各方行动开展金融教育。 Where does your money go every month? If you’re like most teenagers, you probably don’t know exactly. But learning to manage money is an important life skill. Take Jacky and Ella, for example. They’re both teenagers, but they have completely opposite views on money. Jacky loves buying things—video games, snacks, and clothes in fashion. He spends all his pocket money as soon as he gets it. Then, when he really needs something, he never has enough. “I just can’t help it,” Jacky says. “When I see something I like, I always want to buy it.” Ella is much more careful. Every month, she divides her money into three parts: saving, spending, and giving. She saves 50% of her pocket money, spends 40% on things she needs, and gives 10% to charity (慈善机构). “I feel good to help others,” Ella says. “And I never worry about running out of money.” Ella’s parents encouraged her to open a savings account at a bank. “When you put money in the bank, it can grow,” her mother told her. “The bank pays you interest (利息) for keeping your money there.” Ella opened an account and now watches her money grow.

Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget. In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices. We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satiate (满足) us. We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world. Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step! 1．What is the key to making smart spending choices? A．Buying everything we want. B．Planning before spending. C．Asking for more pocket money. D．Working hard like our parents. 2．What does the writer want kids to do by giving the example of buying a bicycle? A．Buy a wonderful notebook. B．Make a free spending choice. C．Set a goal of saving money. D．Have an experience of shopping. 3．What is the best title for the text? A．Causes of Spending Money B．Ways of Managing Money C．Purposes of Treating Money D．Conditions of Saving Money 4．The structure of the text is ________.  (①= para. 1  ②= para. 2  ③= para. 3…) A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四条帮助青少年养成良好消费习惯的金钱生活经验，包括明白金钱来之不易、做好消费预算、设定储蓄目标、和父母交流金钱相关知识，引导青少年树立正确的金钱观，逐步掌握理财方法。 1．细节理解题。第三段提到“We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget. In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on.”，明确说明做聪明的消费选择关键在于花钱前要有预算和计划。 2．推理判断题。第四段提到“We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money...”，作者通过买自行车的例子，主要是为了向孩子们说明设定储蓄目标（Set a goal of saving money）的重要性。 3．最佳标题题。文章第一段引出话题：如何管理金钱并养成良好的消费习惯；随后二、三、四、五段分别给出了具体的理财建议；最后一段总结学理财并不难，我们能逐步掌握金钱管理的方法。因此，全文的最佳标题是“管理金钱的方法”。 4．篇章结构题。第①段：总起，引出话题（学习如何管理金钱，下文将给出建议）；第②③④⑤段：并列展开，分别介绍四条具体的理财建议（金钱来之不易、不要一次性花光、设定储蓄目标、与父母交流）；第⑥段：总结全文，呼应开头，强调学习理财并不难，能帮我们建立正确的金钱观。文章整体呈“总-分-总”的典型结构。 Chinese researchers have discovered the earliest known writings on horses, written on bamboo strips (竹简) dating back over 2,000 years to the Warring States Period (475 BC—221 BC). Five bamboo strips related to horses were found by Tsinghua University’s Research and Conservation Center. Experts say these are the earliest organized documents in China covering horse checking, animal care, training, and guidance. Associate Professor Shi Xiaoli said that during the Warring States Period, people often fought with chariots (战车), so knowing how to ride a horse was very important. The newly shared text about how to guide horses fills a long-time missing part in ancient Chinese writings about how to ride horses. Huang Dekuan, director of the center, noted that horses played an important role in ancient society. Better ways of training and raising horses helped people travel more easily, made the army stronger, supported cultural exchange, and pushed human society to grow. Researchers say that this discovery gives us useful information for studying ancient Chinese horse riding and the raising of animals. It also helps us learn about animal remains and the history of caring for sick animals. 1．When were the horse writings on bamboo strips first created? A．Around the Tang Dynasty. B．In the Han Dynasty. C．During the Warring States Period. D．About 1,000 years ago. 2．Why were horse riding skills important at that time? A．Horses were rare and expensive. B．People rode horses mainly for fun. C．Horses were used only for travel. D．Chariot fighting needed skilled riders. 3．What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? A．Horses helped form early Chinese writing. B．Horses were difficult to raise in ancient society. C．Horses played many important roles in ancient China. D．Horses were used only for cultural exchange. 4．What would be the best structure of the passage? A．①/②③④/⑤ B．①②③④/⑤ C．①②/③④/⑤ D．①/②③④⑤ 5．What is the passage mainly about? A．How ancient Chinese cared for sick animals. B．A discovery that helps study ancient horse culture. C．Why bamboo strips were used for writing. D．The development of Chinese farming skills. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国研究人员发现战国时期关于马匹的竹简文献，阐述了其内容、历史背景及研究价值。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“dating back over 2,000 years to the Warring States Period (475 BC—221 BC)”可知，竹简上的文字创作于“战国时期”。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“during the Warring States Period, people often fought with chariots (战车), so knowing how to ride a horse was very important”可知，当时战车作战需要熟练的骑手，所以骑马技能很重要。 3．主旨大意题。第四段首句提到“horses played an important role in ancient society”，随后列举了出行、军队、文化交流等作用，概括了“马在古代中国扮演了许多重要角色”。 4．篇章结构题。第一段“Chinese researchers have discovered...”引出发现话题，第二至四段详细介绍竹简内容及马的历史背景，第五段“Researchers say that this discovery gives us useful information...”总结研究价值，结构为①/②③④/⑤。 5．主旨大意题。全文围绕清华大学发现的战国竹简中关于马的记载展开，最后一段指出这一发现“gives us useful information for studying ancient Chinese horse riding”，说明文章主要讲的是一个有助于研究古代马文化的发现。 ① What comes to mind when you think of archaeologists? Are they as cool as the characters in some movies? Let’s discover the world of archaeologists. ② Find places. Historical treasures are often hidden underground. To find the right place for digging, archaeologists do surveys to search for signs of ancient sites (遗址), such as broken pieces of ancient tools. It’s hard work. They have to walk across the field in all kinds of weather. Besides, it takes a lot of experience and knowledge to tell an ordinary(普通的) rock from a stone tool. ③ Do research. Archaeologists spend a lot of time in the lab studying the discoveries. With modern technology, it is easier than ever to solve these mysteries. First, they find out the age of the things discovered. They also check human or animal bones to learn how they died and what they ate. ④ Repair and clean. Ancient objects can be damaged in different ways. Bowls and cups are often in pieces, and metal tools are usually covered with rust (铁锈). Before repairing them, archaeologists use X-rays to check the damage. They must be patient and careful so as not to damage their value. ⑤ Though the job can be very tiring or require working long hours in the lab, most archaeologists are proud of their work. It’s their hard work that has brought the lost treasures back to life. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing facts. B．By offering ideas. C．By asking questions.

For many years, students saw him with a “shoehorn face”, which means he had a chin (下巴) that stuck out and a very long face. Now, the picture has changed to make him look more calm and handsome. This change isn’t brand-new. The new picture has been in high school textbooks since 2019, and it was added to Grade 7 textbooks in 2024. In history, Zhu is pictured with two different appearances. One is called the zhengxing portrait (肖像), showing him with a round face and calm expression. The other is the yixing portrait, showing a sticking-out chin, long face and many dark spots. Historians believe the zhengxing portrait is closer to how Zhu really looked. This idea is supported by family features, as his son, Zhu Di, also had a round face. Why are there two types of portraits? Professor Jin Wen explains that the yixing portrait became popular because of ancient beliefs. People thought that if a ruler looked unusual, it was a sign from heaven, making them trust the ruler more. In fact, Zhu himself also encouraged this unusual image. Some studies suggest he did this to protect himself by not showing his real look. Today, not only textbooks but also the portraits at the Ming Xiaoling Museum in Nanjing show the zhengxing portrait. Many visitors support this change. It is not only about making the emperor look better, but it also helps young people think more critically about history. They can have their own understanding and judgement.Meanwhile, using the correct pictures shows respect for historical characters and helps teach history correctly, said Professor Lin Wei from Zhejiang University. 1．Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraphs 1 and 2? A．Zhu Yuanzhang was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty. B．The new picture has been in high school textbooks since 2019. C．The change of Zhu Yuanzhang’s picture is a completely new thing. D．Zhu Yuanzhang is the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty. 2．How is the passage organized? A．Introduction→ Facts of two portraits→ Reasons→ Influence of the change. B．Opinion→ Examples→ Conclusions. C．Problem→ Ways to solve the problem. D．Comparison between two different periods. 3．What does the underlined word “critically” in the last paragraph mean? A．Understand quickly and use freely. B．Follow blindly and accept fully. C．Judge independently and never believe easily. D．Learn carefully and remember for long. 4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Zhu Yuanzhang liked the yixing portrait because it looked like his true appearance. B．We should learn to think independently when we study history. C．Most visitors in Ming Xiaoling Museum dislike the zhengxing portrait. D．All old portraits of ancient rulers are not real. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了朱元璋的两种传世肖像，帮助年轻人培养批判性历史思维，尊重历史人物，传递正确的历史知识。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The new picture has been in high school textbooks since 2019”可知，新画像自2019年起就被应用于高中教材。 2．篇章结构题。第一段和第二段引出教材中朱元璋画像更换的话题（Introduction）；第三段介绍朱元璋两种不同肖像的相关史实（Facts of two portraits）；第四段解释存在两种肖像的原因（Reasons）；第五段说明画像更换带来的影响与意义（Influence of the change）。 3．词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“They can have their own understanding and judgement”可知，学生有自己的理解与判断，划线词“critically”指的是独立判断、不轻易盲从。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“it also helps young people think more critically about history. They can have their own understanding and judgement”可知，学习历史时我们应当学会独立思考，形成自己的理解与判断。 请阅读下面语篇，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Yang Chen-Ning, a world-famous physicist and Nobel Prize winner, was a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and a professor at Tsinghua University.

And there is no better example of this idea than the Ming Dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake not only encouraged the love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography. Born into a rich family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. Later, Xu’s father died. It seemed that his travelling dreams died too. He was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his mother. But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love for travelling, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind his mother and his new wife. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming Dynasty, carefully studying the lands and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 2,600,000 words, finally became The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, going almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. However, his willingness to face difficulties came at a cost. Progress was slow and tiring. He was often sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys. Sadly, Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1．What did Xu’s mother do after his father died? A．She travelled with her son. B．She kept her son at home. C．She encouraged her son to go for his dream. D．She wrote a book about geography. 2．Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels? A．It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people. B．It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time. C．It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.

Zhang Li, an outstanding young agricultural scientist, has devoted all her youth to rural agricultural research, bringing great changes to farmers’ lives. In many dry rural areas, drought has long been a serious problem. It causes poor crop growth and low grain output, which makes local farmers face heavy economic losses every year. Facing this tough problem, Zhang Li made up her mind to develop drought-resistant and high-yield crop varieties to help farmers get rid of poverty and increase income. At the beginning of her research, she met countless difficulties. The field environment was tough, and repeated experiments ended in failure. Many people thought her research was too difficult to succeed and advised her to give up. But Zhang Li never lost heart. She was worried that local farmers would continue to suffer from low harvests without improved crop varieties. She was certain that continuous experiments and careful data analysis would bring breakthroughs. She spent nearly every day working in the farmland, observing crop growth, recording experimental data and adjusting research plans. She read a large number of agricultural materials and consulted senior experts repeatedly. After years of unremitting efforts, she finally developed several new crop varieties. These varieties can adapt to dry environments and produce higher yields, greatly improving local grain production. Up to now, her research achievements have benefited dozens of villages. Zhang Li always says that meaningful achievements never come easily. They depend on long-term persistence, rigorous research attitude and a strong sense of social responsibility. She is considered as a role model for young scientific researchers, and her spirit inspires more teenagers to stick to their dreams and serve society with practical actions. 1．What is Zhang Li’s great achievement?
