Last weekend, Rick visited her and found some strange changes. She kept calling Rick Johnny. It was Rick’s father’s name. When Rick wanted to eat cookies, she told him those snacks were kept for her grandson, not realizing Rick was exactly that grandson. Rick felt really sad and worried about her condition. He talked with his classmate Chen Ping. Chen’s grandpa also has some memory problems. Chen told Rick that old people’s memory usually gets worse little by little as they grow older. His grandpa once forgot the way to the park, so Chen walks him there every weekend. Chen shared a useful idea with Rick: do not only pay attention to the things the old lady forgets. We should keep in mind all the warm happy memories she still holds. Rick’s grandma still remembers that he loves cookies very much, and this warm memory is very valuable. The two boys discussed what they could do for the elderly with poor memory. They decided to look back on happy family moments together, such as picnics and traditional opera shows. They planned to take many new photos and make a family photo album (相册) for Rick’s grandma. Looking at pictures can help her recall more warm stories from the past. Rick finally understood sadness cannot solve the problem. Instead of feeling upset, he should stay with his grandma and create more new sweet memories with her. 5. Why did Rick’s grandma call him Johnny? A. Because Johnny is Rick’s classmate. B. Because she mistook Rick for his father. C. Because Johnny would come to visit her. D. Because Rick wanted to be called Johnny. 6. What did Rick and Chen decide to do for Rick’s grandma? A. Make a family photo album. B. Buy her lots of cookies. C. Take her to watch opera shows every week. D. Help her remember Johnny’s name. 7. What does Chen Ping’s idea in Paragraph 3 really suggest? A. Old people’s memory problems can be completely cured with the medicine. B. We should focus on what old people still remember, not only what they forget. C. Old people should not be left alone at home. D. Remembering happy things can stop memory loss. 8. What can we learn from Rick’s story? A. Old people will easily forget others’ names. B. Memory problems only happen to old people. C. We should value the warm memories with the elderly. D. Photo albums can solve old people’s memory problems. C For generations (几代人), people in Badeng Village of Metog, Xizang, lived a quiet but hard life deep in the Himalayas. Xin Xiangdong, a 51-year-old bamboo maker from the Monba ethnic group (民族), still remembers the old days. At that time, “living off the mountains” meant very tiring work. When he was a teenager, Xin had to walk for eight days along dangerous mountain paths (小路) and cross rivers by zip lines (溜索), carrying his hand-made bamboo baskets to trade for flour (面粉) and oil. High mountains and fast rivers separated the village from the outside world. It was just like a lonely island. The villagers’ big dream came true after the Metog Highway was built. In 2013, roads started to connect these faraway places with the outside world. In 2021, all villagers moved to a new place with modern houses. They no longer needed to carry heavy things on their backs. Now trucks and tourists can come right to their homes. Smooth roads take the place of narrow old paths. The Monba people can show their special culture and bamboo products to visitors from across China easily. Today, Badeng Village is developing well. In 2025, the village made more than 8 million yuan. Most of the money came from tourism and bamboo sales. Many families run small restaurants and warm homestays for visitors. For Xin Xiangdong, “living off the mountains” is no longer only about making a living through hard work. It now means living a comfortable life, while protecting the green mountains and clean rivers that have been the homeland of local people for hundreds of years. 9. Why did Xin Xiangdong travel for eight days when he was young? A. To sell his bamboo baskets and get daily food. B. To visit other villages in the mountains. C. To build roads across the rivers. D. To look for new places to live. 10. What can we know about Badeng Village in 2021? A. The village first built the Metog Highway. B. Villagers moved to new houses with modern conditions. C. It got over 8 million yuan from tourism. D. Tourists began to visit the village for the first time. 11. What does the underlined phrase “take the place of” most probably mean? A. Change into. B. Stand for. C. Replace. D. Lead to. 12. What can we infer from the passage? A. Villagers don’t make bamboo crafts any more because of tourism. B. The villagers used to make much money by selling bamboo baskets. C. People will stop protecting mountains after they live a comfortable life. D. “Living off the mountains” has got a new and different meaning. D Sleeping with a light on could be bad for you. Researchers from Tulane University in the USA say any kind of light at bedtime may harm your heart. Even a very dim light could be harmful. The researchers did tests on 11,000 people for a week. The people in the test wore sensors (传感器) that measured the amount of light in their bedrooms. Three years later those who did not have heart disease had an MRI scan (核磁共振成像扫描). The scans showed there was a link between sleeping with a light on and changes in the structure (结构) of the heart. One change was thicker heart muscles. Another change was that people’s hearts were less able to pump (泵送) blood and relax during heartbeats. The study is published in the European Heart Journal. Lead researcher Professor Lu Qi wrote: “Light pollution has become as a new risk factor (风险因素) for heart disease.” He added the findings from his study suggest that reducing light while sleeping could be “one of the possible ways of preventing heart disease”. The researchers suggested turning off lights, televisions, and smartphones in the bedroom. They said people needed to get their sleeping environment as dark as possible. They added: “The advice is simple and inexpensive: blackout curtains (遮光窗帘), warm-coloured bedside lighting, and covers for the small standby LEDs (待机指示灯) on household electronics (家用电器).” 13. What did the sensors measure? A. The amount of light in the bedrooms. B. The number of heart patients. C. The time people spent sleeping. D. The size of the bedroom. 14. What does the underlined word “dim” probably mean? A. Very bright. B. Not bright. C. Very warm. D. Not safe. 15. What can we infer from Professor Lu Qi’s words? A. Cutting down night light may help protect the heart. B. Light pollution is more serious than other risk factors. C. People with heart disease should sleep with a light on. D. Researchers have found a cure for heart disease. 16. What is the best title for the passage? A. How to Choose Bedroom Lights B. A New Risk Factor for Heart Disease C. The Hidden Heart Risk of Nighttime Light D. Why Light Pollution Is Serious in Cities 第二节 阅读短文，从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Memory is sometimes strange. For example, you can easily remember the name of your classmate in Grade One. But you may forget where you put your smartphone a few minutes ago. The main reason is that you aren’t keeping your mind on it. In fact, we can’t focus on all the things around us. 17. ________ Here are some useful methods to help improve your memory.

For Krasznahorkai (克拉斯诺霍尔卡伊), a famous Hungarian (匈牙利的) writer, the answer began with a trip in 1991. Back then, he traveled to China as a reporter. He was so moved by what he saw. After he returned home, he didn’t just keep China in his memory — he brought Chinese culture into his daily life. He asked his whole family to eat with chopsticks. When they went out to eat, he always chose Chinese food. At home, he often listened to Beijing opera. Wherever he went, he collected books about China and followed news about China. He also often mentioned China in conversations. His love grew even stronger over time. He became crazy about ancient Chinese culture. He read Laozi’s Tao Te Ching (道德经) and fell in love with the poet Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. He loves Li Bai for his courage and free spirit. To feel closer to him, Krasznahorkai took a long journey across China, following the very places Li Bai had once traveled to. He even gave himself a Chinese name, “Haoqiu”, which means “beautiful hill”. That name shows his respect for Confucius. He has published many novels since his first novel came out in 1977. In 2025, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature. In a 2017 interview, he thanked Chinese readers who love Hungarian books. His love for Chinese culture has truly brought the two literary worlds together. His story teaches us: When you truly love something, it becomes a part of who you are. 41.

One Possible Version: Dear Eric, I’m glad to receive your letter. You asked about the great changes in my hometown. Let me introduce them to you. Great changes have taken place in my hometown over the past ten years. In the past, my hometown was a poor village. The roads were narrow and dirty. Most people went to work on foot or by bike. People lived in small old houses. The environment was bad because there were few trees. Now, everything has changed. The government has built wide roads and new railways. People now live in bright new flats. Many high-tech greenhouses have been built. E-payment is widely used, and people can buy things online. The air is much cleaner because we have planted thousands of trees. I’m so excited and proud to see these wonderful changes. And I think my hometown will have a brighter future and it will develop further. Yours, Li Hui 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
