In Shenzhen, a book's story can continue with a new reader. The Shenzhen Book Donation and Exchange Centre opened in 2012. It accepts books from readers and helps people exchange books. A recent report described a visit to its service point in the North Hall of Shenzhen Library. The reporter handed some books to a staff member and showed a library card code. The staff member then gave the reporter a receipt showing some points. These points could be used to get other books from the centre. The books on its shelves all came from readers. They included children’s science books, picture books and books about family education. Some books travel much further. In a library in Burqin, Xinjiang, a reader found a picture book with a stamp from Shenzhen’s book exchange programme. The stamp showed where the book had come from. The centre sends some donated books to reading spaces outside Shenzhen. A book that one person has finished may be just what another person is looking for. Passing it on gives it a new home. ( ) 36. Where did the books on the centre’s shelves come from? A. From local bookshops. B. From different readers. C. From school libraries. D. From book companies. ( ) 37. What could the reporter do with the points? A. Keep borrowed books for extra days. B. Take part in a local course. C. Buy books at a nearby shop. D. Get other books from the centre. ( ) 38. What could the reader tell from the stamp on the picture book? A. It had travelled a long distance. B. It had been written recently. C. It had belonged to the reporter. D. It had been sold at the centre. ( ) 39. How does the report show the centre's work? A. By comparing the results of exchanging books and donating them. B. By explaining how staff choose books to send to other cities. C. By describing a reporter’s visit and another reader’s discovery. D. By following the same book from its owner to its next reader. ( ) 40. What is the report mainly about? A. How a book service helps used books reach new readers. B. How readers exchange their books for points at Shenzhen Library. C. How one picture book was discovered in a library. D. How a book centre offers different kinds of books to families. B For six weeks, a primary school in Bitola, North Macedonia, opened its classrooms every Thursday afternoon for a different group of learners: parents. Many had studied at that school as children. Now they returned to learn how to build better relationships with their own children. UNICEF (the United Nations Children’s Fund, 联合国儿童基金会) supported the programme. Parents received ideas to try at home. Martina began joining her children in their games. She reported that they no longer asked her for a mobile phone. Larisa had trouble getting her young son to start his homework. After trying an idea from the course, she spent time alone with him before homework. He enjoyed this time together and then sat down to work. Learning also brought parents closer. Vladimir attended the final class in place of his wife. She was preparing a family celebration. After each class, the couple shared what they had learned. Both could then use the ideas at home. At the end of the last class, parents received their certificates. Yet they did not hurry away. They stayed to talk and laugh with one another. Families face different challenges, so there is no single guide that works for everyone. UNICEF’s work with parents offers practical help with children’s learning and daily life. Supporting children also means giving the adults around them opportunities to learn. Parents do not have to find every answer on their own. ( ) 41. What was special about the classes at the school? A. Children taught their parents new games. B. Former teachers returned to give lessons. C. Mothers and fathers became learners there. D. Local families planned school celebrations. ( ) 42. How did Larisa help her son get ready for homework? A. She spent time with her son before homework. B. She helped her son finish his homework at school. C. She let her son play games after all his homework. D. She asked her son to plan the whole evening alone. ( ) 43. How did Vladimir and his wife learn together? A. They took turns attending the classes every Thursday. B. They practised the children's games together in class. C. They studied the course materials together before each class. D. They discussed the ideas from each lesson. ( ) 44. What can we learn from the parents staying after the last class? A. The classes left them with more tasks to finish. B. The classes helped them feel closer to others. C. They expected more lessons later that day. D. They wanted to improve their final results. ( ) 45. Why does the writer include the examples of Martina, Larisa and Vladimir? A. To compare how many classes the parents attended. B. To explain why parents chose this primary school. C. To show how learning reached everyday family life. D. To describe how children helped with the lessons. C Birds at Shenzhen Bay have some quiet helpers. In the Futian nature reserve (自然保护区), digital tools help workers watch birds and care for the places where they live. A report from March 2026 describes how the system works. Cameras and sensors (传感器) collect information day and night. They send bird images to a computer platform where AI helps identify different kinds of birds and count them. Researchers can use these records to learn about the birds and support their protection. The technology does more than watch. When the sea rises, birds return to ponds in the reserve to rest and feed. Small water gates open and close to control water levels. Workers can create areas of different depths, giving birds suitable places to spend the winter. Ordinary people can also help collect information about nature. According to the Natural History Museum in the UK beginners can make useful wildlife records. A record needs four main parts: who saw the animal, what they saw, where they saw it and when. People can record common birds too; rare birds are not the only ones worth watching. Even without the exact name of a bird, a clear photo can help experts identify it. After people send in their records, someone with experience checks them. Records that pass these checks can then help researchers understand changes in wildlife and plan ways to protect it. A short walk with careful observation can become a small step towards helping nature. ( ) 46. What information does AI help the system produce in Paragraph 2? A. When birds arrive and where they nest. B. Which ponds birds choose and what they eat. C. How far birds travel and how long they rest. D. What kinds of birds appear and how many there are. ( ) 47. Why are the smart water gates useful for birds? A. They help provide suitable places for birds to stay. B. They help cameras take clearer pictures of the birds. C. They offer visitors more places to watch the birds. D. They keep the ponds at one fixed water level. ( ) 48. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. Common birds. B. Smart water gates. C. Wildlife records. D. Research plans. ( ) 49. Why does the writer mention the Natural History Museum? A. To show how British experts check bird records from Shenzhen. B. To introduce a way for beginners to contribute to wildlife research. C. To explain how people's records help train the reserve's AI system. D. To explain which kinds of birds beginners should record first. ( ) 50. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A Guide to Finding Rare Birds B. A New Place to Watch Birds C. The Best Time to Record Wildlife D. How People Are Helping Birds 第二节 短文填空 阅读短文，从下面的六个句子中选择五个还原到短文中，使其意思完整、连贯。每个选项限 用一次。（共5小题，每小题2分） An encyclopaedia does not have to be a row of heavy books.

They help us search for information quickly and make online learning convenient. However, spending too much time on screens can harm our eyes and reduce face-to-face communication. To build healthy digital habits, I suggest setting a time limit for screen use and taking regular breaks. For example, we can put down our phones after 30 minutes and do some exercise. Let's use digital devices wisely and keep a balance between online and offline life. A healthy digital life starts with small choices every day. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
