B篇
A tourism project brought great changes to Nizhuhe Village, a remote and poor village between Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It has not only greatly improved local educational conditions, but also turned villagers’ hard lives into better ones.
In the past, the village was cut off from the outside world. The only way to go out was the rough and muddy mountain roads. For students like Chen Honghan, the journey to school was extremely dangerous. They had to climb cliffs (悬崖) and walk for three long hours every day. The tiring trip often made them feel tired and even put their lives in danger.
Since 2017, the local eco-cultural tourism project has completely turned over a new leaf. Workers built a scenic bus line, a cliffside lift and a cable car for free. Now Chen’s school trip takes only 30 minutes, which is safe and relaxing. She first rides a 6-minute scenic bus and then takes a lift that climbs 268 metres. Next, she takes a cable car ride that climbs over 200 metres. After a 1-kilometre walk, she arrives at the school in just under 30 minutes. The journey seems like flying through soft clouds: This special “cloud school bus” keeps students away from danger and makes going to school a happy experience.
★ . In 2024, about 300,000 tourists visited the village, bringing a profit (盈利) of nearly 20 million yuan.Many villagers opened farmstays ( 民宿), small shops and coffee shops. Some people who worked in big cities returned home to start their own businesses. Villagers also learned new skills.
This tourism project gives students better education and bright hopes. It encourages them to study hard and come back to build their lovely hometown in the future.

C篇
Who would win a competition to remember numbers, a chimp (黑猩猩) or a teenager? In fact, scientists showed that the chimp did better than the teenager in this competition.
Do you still remember last year’s summer holiday? When you think back to it, you might think of the night when you went to a birthday party. But how do you store these things in your mind? By using your memory (记忆). When something happens, our brains (大脑) keep the important information in our memory.
Scientists say that there are two kinds of memory—short-term memory and long-term memory. Your short- term memory keeps information for a few minutes. Long-term memory means you keep the information for a long time. People start to forget things just after they learn them. They learn about something one day, but may forget half of it the next day. In a week, they forget most of it. So remember to go over your lesson.
Scientists agree that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things better with the help of pictures. Others remember better by hearing it. But one thing is for sure: if you remember things in different ways together, you can get a better result. So next time, try to think about pictures when you are learning English words, and at the same time listen to these words. Maybe that will make studying English much easier.
26.Who won the competition to remember numbers?
A. The teenager. B. The chimp. C. The scientist. D. The pianist.
27.What does the underlined word “store” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Keep. B. Make. C. Buy. D. Learn.
28.When you learn something, what will your memory be like in a week?
A. B. C. D.
29.According to the article, which of the following is the best way to memorize words?
E.By watching TV. B. By listening to music.
C. By writing them out many times. D. By listening and watching pictures.
30.What does the article mainly tell us?
A.It tells us there are many kinds of memory. B. It tells us learning English is not so difficult.
C. It tells us some facts about memory. D. It tells us the chimps are cleverer than humans.

How to Remember What You Read
Reading is an important part of learning, but many students forget what they read soon after closing the book. 31
First, try to connect what you read with what you already know. For example, if you are reading about ancient Rome, think about movies or stories you know about that time. 32
Second, take short breaks while reading. After reading for 25 minutes, stand up and stretch. This gives your brain time to process the information. 33
Third, teach someone else what you read. 34 When you explain ideas to a friend, you organize them in your mind and make them clearer.
Finally, review the main points after you finish reading. Spend 5 minutes writing down the key ideas. 35 This simple step can greatly improve your memory of the text.
A．This connection makes the new information more meaningful.
B．Here are some ways to help you remember better.
C．Many students enjoy reading for pleasure in their free time.
D．This short rest can help you focus better when you return.
E．Teaching is a powerful way to deepen your understanding.
F．You can also draw a picture of what you read.
