Have you ever heard of upcycling? It is a creative way to turn waste materials
into new products of higher value. Different from recycling, which often breaks things
down, upcycling gives old items a new life without using extra energy.
Every day, people throw away lots of things, such as old clothes, bottles and
furniture. These may end up in landfills and pollute the environment. Upcycling helps
reduce waste. For example, an old tyre can become a beautiful swing; unwanted jeans
can be turned into fashionable bags. Some artists even create wonderful sculptures
from used metal parts. More and more communities now offer upcycling workshops
to teach people useful skills.
Upcycling is not only good for the planet, but also fun and rewarding. It
encourages creativity and makes us think about how we use things. Next time before
you throw something away, ask yourself: Can I turn it into something new?

Have you ever thought of forests as the Earth’s lungs (肺)? They take in carbon
dioxide (二氧化碳) and give us the fresh oxygen (氧气) we need to live. But our
green friends are at risk because the climate is changing and people are cutting down
trees excessively (过度). Luckily, technology is stepping in to help! Welcome to the
amazing world of “Smart Forests”, where modern technology works with nature to
keep our planet safe.
So, how do forests become “smart”? Imagine placing small listening tools and
sensors (传感器) at the tops of the trees. These smart tools listen to the sounds of the
woods day and night. If they hear the loud noise of a dangerous tool cutting down
trees or the sound of a forest fire breaking out, they will send a quick alert to forest
workers. They even listen to bird songs and animal calls to make sure wildlife is safe
and healthy.
Technology also brings some amazing flying helpers: drones (无人机)! These
small flying machines fly high above the trees, taking pictures to check if forests are
healthy. If drones see an empty area where trees have been cut down, the smart
system will study the soil and weather to find out exactly which seeds (种子) should
be planted there. Then, special drones can fly over and carefully drop seeds into the
ground to grow a whole new forest.
By acting as the eyes and ears of the woods, “Smart Forests” is changing the
way we protect the environment. It provides a practical way to protect forests and
help them recover better with the power of modern technology.
16．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The growth of seeds into healthy trees. B．The role of drones in restoring
forests.
3C．The advantages of drones over sensors. D．The problems drones face in bad
weather
17．What problems put forests in trouble?
A．No listening tools or good sensors.B．Lack of technology and seed shortage.
C．Forest fires and wildlife disappearance. D．Climate change and too much
tree cutting.
18．What does the underlined word “alert” refer to in the text?
A．A message to show love and care. B．A warning of danger or problems.
C．A piece of information about the forest.D．A friendly reminder to check the
weather.
19．What is the writer’s attitude towards “Smart Forests”?
A．Unclear. B．Supportive. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.
20．What is the best title for the text?

5Pang Zhongwang was given the 2025 Student of the Year Award on the evening
of December 31, 2025. His story is powerful, touching the hearts of many young
people across China.
Pang came from a very poor family in the countryside of Hebei Province. His
life was full of challenges: his father had mental health problems, and his mother was
unable to walk because of a serious disease. What was worse, Pang himself was born
with a serious heart disease. Facing all these difficulties, he never gave up. From a
very young age, he learned to balance schoolwork with caring for his parents. During
middle school, he even collected plastic bottles and old newspapers to support his
family.
His hard work never stopped and finally worked. In 2017, he got the highest
science score in Cangzhou and succeeded in entering Tsinghua University. There, he
worked even harder. In his research, he has made important progress in developing
better machines. His findings have come out in top optics (光学) magazines. He has
also used his knowledge to help several optics companies in Changchun work out
technical problems.

It was a normal Monday afternoon. On a street in Berlin, Germany, a young
man ran to catch a bus when the bus was leaving the stop.
Suddenly, the man fell down and got caught by the tire (轮胎) of the bus.
Luckily, the bus driver stopped the bus right away. And people from all around went

scrapes (擦伤) and an arm injury.
Frank Kurze, one of the 40 people, said, “I saw many people trying to lift the
bus, and it was clear to me that I should help lift the bus and try to help the young
man out.”

The Strait of Hormuz (霍尔木兹海峡) is a narrow and important sea channel. It
lies between Iran (伊朗) and Oman (阿曼). The narrowest part is about 33 kilometers
wide. It is the only sea way from the Persian Gulf (波斯湾) to the Indian Ocean, so it
is very important for world trade.
People call it the world’s “energy throat”. More than 20% of the world’s oil
carried by ships and plenty of natural gas pass through it. Most of this energy goes to
Asia and Europe. It helps people work and live well. Lots of ships sail here every day,
so we must keep this place safe and open for the world’s energy use.
7Now there are some troubles in this area. When tensions rise, fewer ships will
come here. There will be less oil and gas in the world, so energy prices will rise.
People need to pay more for electricity and fuel. If something goes wrong here, many
countries will not have enough energy.

We’ve all heard about the man who discovered gravity (重力) and the apple that
fell from a tree and hit him on the head. However, the 17th-century “aha moment” is
actually a bit of a lie! Newton did witness an apple falling from a tree one day and this
got him thinking about what actually caused the apple to fall to the ground.
Newton later developed his theory of Gravity, believing that Earth has a force
that pulls objects down, which prevents objects from aimlessly floating around.
While we know that Isaac Newton discovered Gravity, he also made many other
scientific discoveries. Newton is also credited with discovering the three laws of
motion. These three laws, or principles, explain how things move.
Law 1: An object at rest Law 2: It takes more force
stays at rest. A moving (力量) to move a heavy

Mama pulled the car into a small alley (小巷). When she shut the engine off,
everything got in quiet.
I hung a beach towel over the clothesline that Mama had strung along the
middle of the car to make me a bedroom. I could picture my classmate Luanne, lying
in her pink-and-white quilt with her toy animals lined up along the wall beside her,
and I surely felt sorry for myself.
Then I curled up on the seat, turning every which way trying to get myself
comfortable. Finally, I settled on my back with my feet right against the car door and
looked out at the starry sky.
And then I saw it. A sign, up there on a telephone pole right outside the car
window. An old sign that said: REWARD (酬谢) $500. And under that was a picture
of a bug-eyed little dog with its tongue hanging out.
And then under that it said: HAVE YOU SEEN ME? MY NAME IS MITSY.
Five hundred dollars! Who in the world would pay five hundred dollars for that
little dog?
“Mama?” I whispered through my beach towel wall.
10Mama rustled (沙沙作响) some in the front seat.
“Would five hundred dollars be enough money to get us a place to live?” I
asked.
Mama sighed. “I suppose so, Georgina. Now go to sleep. You got school
tomorrow.”
I looked up at Mitsy and my mind started racing.
What if I could find that dog? I could get that money, and we could have a real
place to live instead of this dirty old car.
But that dog could be anywhere. I wouldn't even know where to look for it.
Besides, that sign was old. somebody had probably already found Mitsy and got that
five hundred dollars.
I stared out the window at the sign, thinking about Mitsy and wondering if there
were other people out there who would pay money for their lost dogs.
And that’s when I got a thought that made me sit up so fast that Toby mumbled
in his sleep and Mama hissed, “Shhhh—.”
I folded my legs up and lay back down in my beach towel bedroom. The car
seat smelled like oily French fries and bug spray. I closed my eyes and smiled to
myself. I had a plan…

Glaciers (冰川) hold about 70% of the earth’s fresh water. They are large pieces
of closely packed (压缩的) ice and snow. Glaciers only form in places where it is very
cold. Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow. The layers (层) of snow press
down on each other, and then the snow crystals (雪晶) start to change. They get
smaller, and the air is pushed out of the snow. This allows the crystals to grow longer.
Over time, the snow layer at the bottom becomes ice. The whole process of making a
glacier takes about 100 years.
The snow on top of a glacier looks white because it reflects (反射) all of the
13light. However, the ice layers are packed so closely that they look like they are blue.
The reason is that the ice doesn’t have much air, so it absorbs different parts of light
and reflects blue light.
Some of the glaciers on the earth may be very old. Scientists think that a few
glaciers have ice that is about 8 million years old. Not all of the glaciers are that old,
though. A number of glaciers in Alaska (阿拉斯加) are only about 100 years old.
There are different kinds of glaciers. An ice stream is a kind of glacier that
forms on another glacier, and it looks like a frozen river. Rock glaciers are made when
ice, rock, and other objects get mixed together.
70．Which is the correct process (过程) of forming a glacier?
①New snow falls on top of the old snow.
②The snow crystals grow longer.
③Air is pushed out of the snow.
④The layers of snow press down on each other.
⑤The snow layer at the bottom becomes ice.
A．⑤①②④③ B．①④③②⑤ C．①④②③⑤ D．⑤④②①③
71．The underlined word “absorbs” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A．takes in B．carries out C．gives up D．cuts down
72．Why does the writer talk about Alaska’s glaciers?
A．Because the writer thinks there are a number of glaciers in Alaska.
B．Because the writer thinks they are the oldest glaciers on the earth.

When I was in primary school, my grades weren’t very good. I often hid my
exam papers whenever I failed (失败) them. I put them into a waste paper box. I
thought I could keep doing it this way forever.
But on my 12th birthday, my dad gave me a big white box. I opened it and
found that in it were all of those exam papers. I thought he would be angry with me,
but he wasn’t. He said, “I know you can make a change, so I would like to give you a
chance.” Then he gave me a smile, “This is the real gift for you today!” I was deeply
moved and closed the box. “Thank you, Dad. These exam papers are the real gifts for
me.” I said. I came over to my father and hugged him with tears full in my eyes.

Before going out, Marilla reminded her adopted daughter (养女) Anne, “The
raspberry cordial (树莓果汁) is on the kitchen table. Be careful and don’t take the
wrong bottle.”
“I won’t,” Anne answered.
On the kitchen table stood a bottle filled with a bright red drink. It looked just
like raspberry cordial, so Anne poured it into Diana’s glass without thinking twice.
Diana drank one glass, then another. In no time, her face turned red. She began
to laugh loudly and could hardly stand. Anne grew worried, but she still didn’t know
what had gone wrong.
Not long after, Mrs. Barry, Diana’s mother, learned what her daughter had
drunk. She hurried to Green Gables, her face full of anger.
“What drink did you give my daughter? That was not raspberry cordial!” she
cried.
Marilla checked the bottle. “It is currant wine (葡萄酒),” she said, totally
amazed!
Mrs. Barry turned to Anne. “Diana is not allowed to come here again!” Anne
stood there silently, feeling sorry and heartbroken.
Several days later, Diana ran into Green Gables.
“Oh, Anne, do come quickly! Minnie May is awfully sick. Father and Mother
are away. I don’t know what to do!” Diana’s voice shook and tears rolled down her
face.
Anne didn’t waste a moment and went with her at once. Remembering what she
had learned while caring for sick children in the hospital before, Anne stayed calm
and worked patiently all night until a doctor finally arrived. Minnie May felt much
better.
The next day, Mrs. Barry went to Green Gables with some fresh flowers for
Anne.
“Anne,” she smiled and said gently, “I’m truly sorry. I shouldn’t have kept you
and Diana apart. I supposed you might hurt her, but now I realize you never would. If
it’s all right with you, Diana may visit you again.”
Anne said nothing, but her eyes shone softly. She had made a careless mistake,
but from it she learned the true meaning of friendship.

Henry was a little blue hummingbird. He was migrating (迁徙) with his family
to a warmer place for the winter.
“Stay close to us,” his parents told him before they set off. But Henry became
very excited about all the new things on the trip. That day, while flying, he saw a flash
of light below. “What is that?” Henry wondered and flew down to check it out.
“Wow!” Henry shouted as he found a big, pretty lake. The flash of light was the
sunlight shining on the lake. He had fun flying over the water and playing with his
reflection (倒影). When he flew back up and called out to his family, no one
answered. They had already flown off.
Henry flew around to look for his family but had no luck. He felt sad and tired.
Suddenly, he remembered what his parents had told him. “If you get lost, stay where
we were last together. Stand in a high place so that we can see you when we come
back.” Henry returned to the lake and stood in the tallest tree nearby. While waiting,
he met some other birds. He told them he was lost. The birds decided to help him by
singing loudly together. Soon, their songs could be heard far and wide. This helped
Henry’s family to find him at last!

Have you ever seen a bee fly busily? Do you think the bee is just flying around?
In fact, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend lots of time looking for food. However, not all the bees in the hive
(蜂巢) have work. Bees can be divided into three kinds—a queen bee, drones (雄蜂),
and worker bees. The queen bee is very important. She is the mother of all the bees
that live in the hive. Worker bees do all the other work in the hive. Besides looking for
food, they make and clean the hive. They also look after the queen and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements to send messages about food. They use
different movements to give different information. They tell where food can be found
and how far it is from the hive. Bees can even share how much food there is and how
good it is. And surprisingly, a new study found that a group of bees could generate an
amazing amount of electricity by beating their wings more than 200 times per second
and the amount of electricity could reach 100 to 1,000 V.
Scientists found that the thicker a swarm of bees is, the more electricity it
generates. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees — which group
together to form a huge, thick swarm of bees—could have an influence similar to that
of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees
and their environment.
86．How do bees communicate with one another?
A．By making noise B．By spreading smells
C．By producing electricity D．By using different movements.
87．What do worker bees need to do?
①Make the hive. ②Look for food. ③Take care of the queen. ④Protect drones.
A．①②④ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．①③④

A． B． C．
D．
90．Which can be the best title for the text?

I was born in Madrid, Spain, but I wanted to see other cultures, so I moved to
New York in the late 1990s. I liked its hectic life—people working long hours and
always moving. Living there changed how I saw time, work, and friendships.
After several years in New York, I moved to Los Angeles to explore its unique
lifestyle. Drawn to its creative energy and film industry, I found LA’s slower pace
centred on art, community, and tradition—unlike New York’s intensity. Being flexible
helped me adapt and fit in better, allowing me to appreciate these differences. The
contrast deepened my understanding of American culture, especially LA’s influence
on trends. I also grew fascinated by old traditions tied to nature and their modern
18connections.
My studies made me think about how societies were organized and the roles
people played. I focused on how different cultures show leadership and beliefs.
Through my travels, I learnt that culture deeply affects our thoughts. In Madrid,
people were relaxed about time, but in New York, being on time was very important.
In LA, people valued new ideas and personal expression, while in Europe, history and
customs were more respected.
These experiences taught me that no single culture has all the aspects. By living
in different places, I gained a wider view of the world. Culture is like a pair of glasses

Since the Zhou Dynasty(1046 BC—256 BC), a complete etiquette system has
been set. Today, many of these rules are not as strict as before. However, some are
still followed on important occasions(场合) and are thought of as good examples of
good manners.
Walking Etiquette
① In ancient China, while walking with someone with a higher status(地位) or
an old person, one should lower one’s head, bend down, and walk a little bit behind
them. If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle.
One should bow down and walk fast using smaller steps when passing by an elder or a
teacher.
Sitting Etiquette and Seating Rules
② Everyone should be sitting in a proper position at dining tables. It is based on
their titles, ranks, or age. If someone doesn’t know the exact position, they should
wait and follow the host’s lead. The best seat is the one that faces the east or the door.
Hosts usually sit facing the west.
Bow, and Fist-and-Palm Salute(抱拳)
③ Bow, in Chinese Yi Li or Zuo Yi, means having their hands folded in front in
different ways. Today, however, the simplest Zuo Yi gesture is good enough, as well
as nodding, smiling, and handshaking.
④ The Fist-and-Palm Salute, is another type of Yi Li, with the fist’s right hand
21covered by the left hand. It first appeared in the army when people held weapons(武
器) while showing respect to others. So people always use the left hand to cover the
right hand that holds weapons.

and your classmate?

A blue hole is a flooded sea cave (洞穴)with a hole that opens up at the land’s
surface. These cave systems form in carbonate rock, often on islands. Far below sea
level there are some of the hardest environments on Earth, with no oxygen (氧) and
no light. Yet these areas are filled with life forms that have got used to such
conditions.
Blue holes get their name from the color that some have when seen from the air.
It is usually a reflection of the sky on the water. ★Some have dark or muddy water.
Blue holes have several layers of water, chemicals and bacteria (细菌). The top
layer of fresh water comes from rainfall, which acts like a cap on top of the layered
mixture and keeps out oxygen from the air. The fresh water covers a denser layer of
salt water. Underneath this is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide (有毒的硫化氢),
produced by bacteria living in the water. At the bottom is anoxic seawater—water that
does not have any oxygen.
“Underwater caves are probably one of the least understood ecosystems on the
22planet, ”Kenny Broad, a scientist at the University of Miami in Florida, says. “One
reason is that you still physically have to go there—you can’t send in a submarine (潜
水艇) or any other machine. ”
There are many safety rules that divers must follow to help ensure their survival.
First, divers must have training to swim in such caves. Those who explore an
underwater cave for the first time must use a thin rope called a guideline, which helps
them to safely enter and exit without getting lost. Besides, divers must bring several
light sources and more than one set of breathing equipment (设备) just in case. And
they must pay careful attention to their air supply (供应).
114．According to the passage, blue holes ________.
①are sea caves far below sea level
②give off bright blue light
③have life forms but no oxygen and light
④are found mostly on islands
⑤include three layers in all
A．①②⑤ B．②③④ C．③④⑤ D．①③④
115．Which of the following can be put in ★?
A．Why are blue holes in the color of the sky?
B．But not all of these cave systems have blue surfaces.
C．What life forms can be found there?
D．How can water in blue holes change color?
116．The underlined word “this” in Para. 3 refers to “________”.
A．the top layer of fresh water
B．anoxic seawater
C．the layer of salt water
D．bacteria living in the water
117．Blue holes are little understood perhaps because ________.
A．few instruments can be used to explore these caves
B．divers cannot ensure their survival there
C．the caves are full of poisonous matter
D．they have ever-changing conditions
118．When exploring blue holes, divers must ________.

Shaine Kilyun is an American high school student. In her free time, Shaine
builds wheelchairs for animals in need. So far, she has made wheelchairs for dogs,
cats, and a duck.
Shaine has always loved animals. She had a dog and two cats. She also
volunteered at an animal help center and hospitals. But the animal lover was sad when
she learned old and disabled animals were often euthanized (安乐死) because they
couldn’t walk and needed special care.
One night in December of 2020, a video on the Internet gave her hope. In the
video, disabled dogs ran around happily in wheelchairs. From then on, she spent her
free time watching videos to learn to make wheelchairs for animals. She also learned
from animal doctors. After she made the first one, she tested on her own dog and cats.
She tried to cooperate with some factories in order to make more wheelchairs with
lower prices. The factories offered the machines, while Shaine shared her design of
the special wheelchairs.
In February of 2021, she was so excited to get her first Thank-you note from an
owner of a blind dog—Tobby. The 7-month-old dog had shorter front legs than his
back legs. Seeing him run and play in his wheelchair, she felt good and decided to go
on. Now she can make wheelchairs for animals of all shapes and sizes.
“I just do them in my free time,” she said. “But I’ve saved a few lives, and I
really hope to save more.”

Last Sunday, my parents and I had a special dinner at a new restaurant. When
we walked in, the restaurant looked very clean and beautiful. Soft music was playing,
and the waiters were very friendly.
The menu had many kinds of food. We decided to try some traditional Chinese
dishes. First, we ordered Mapo Tofu. It looked red and smelled spicy. My mom loves
spicy food, so she was very excited. Then we had Gongbao Chicken. The chicken
pieces were mixed with peanuts (坚果) and vegetables. It tasted sweet and a little bit
spicy.
The most amazing dish was Beijing Duck. The waiter brought a whole duck to
our table first. Then he skillfully cut the duck into thin pieces in front of us. He told
us to eat the duck with thin pancakes, green onions, and a special kind of sauce (调味
汁). When I put a piece of duck with some onions and sauce in a pancake and ate it, I
couldn’t help saying, “What a delicious meal!”
After the main dishes, we had some dumplings. They were filled with meat and
vegetables. My dad said they were as good as the ones my grandmother made.
We all enjoyed the dinner very much. I think I will ask my parents to take me
there again next time.

Body language is important in communication. However, the same body
language can have very different meanings in different cultures. Here are some
examples.
In the West, people like to look at each other when they talk. Strong eye contact
26(交流) is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab countries. People from Finland and
Japan are embarrassed (尴尬的) when others keep staring (盯着) at them during a
talk. They only make eye contact at the start of a discussion.
Tipping (轻敲) your nose means “secret” in England. In Italy, the same gesture
means “be careful”.
Nodding your head usually means “yes”. But in Bulgaria ( 保加利亚) and
Greece, nodding up and down means “no”.
In many cultures, like Italy and the US, people use their arms freely when
talking. They often wave their arms around. Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing
with their arms. They think it shows insincerity (不真诚) and is too dramatic (戏剧
的). In Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite.

I began to move more freely around the island again and built myself a third
house. It was a very secret place in a cave. “No wild man will ever find that,” I said to
myself.
Then one year, something happened which I can never forget. I was again on the
west side of the island and was walking along the shore. Suddenly, I saw something
which made me feel ill. There were heads, arms, feet and other pieces of men’s bodies
everywhere. For a minute, I couldn’t think, and then I understood. Sometimes there
were fights between the wild men on the other islands. Then they came here to my
island with their prisoner, to kill them, cook them and eat them. Slowly, I went home,
27but I couldn’t help wondering how men could do this.
For many months, I watched carefully for the smoke from fires, but I didn’t see
anything. Somehow, the wild men came and went, and I never saw them. I was angry
and afraid. I wanted to shoot them all, but there were many of them and only one of
me.
One morning in my 23rd year on the island, I was out in my fields and I saw the
smoke from a fire. Quickly, I went up the hill to watch.
There were nine men around the fire, and they were cooking their terrible food.
Then these wild men danced round the fire, singing and shouting. This went on for
about two hours, and then they got into their boats and sailed away.

Did you hear the news? When Shenzhou-20 was ready to come home, a tiny
piece of space junk (太空垃圾) hit it! Luckily, the astronauts came back safely, but it
made people think about a big problem — space junk.
Space junk is all the rubbish that humans have left in space. This includes old
satellites (卫星), used rocket (火箭) parts, and tiny pieces from crashes (碰撞). In
2009, two satellites hit each other and created thousands of space junk pieces!
Astronauts also lose small things in space sometimes. In 1965, astronaut Ed White
29lost a glove during a spacewalk. When we started exploring space, we started making
space junk.
Space junk is a growing problem. It flies around Earth at about 20,000 km per
hour! So even a small piece can damage a spacecraft (航天器). There are over
36,000 big pieces and millions of smaller ones moving around our planet. More junk
means more crashes and even more junk.
Scientists are thinking of ways to clean it up. All countries need to work
together to keep space safe. After all, space is valuable for everyone. By working
together, we can solve this problem and continue our exciting space journey.
148．What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A．What space junk is. B．How space junk moves.

The earliest use of lanterns was to provide light for reading and working. Now,
lanterns have become a symbol of national pride in China and are used to decorate (装
饰) homes and public places.
First Chinese lanterns were invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty (朝代). And
then lanterns became widely known by common people, especially during the time of
festivals. In the Tang Dynasty, lanterns were made in order to celebrate people’s
peaceful life.
There are three main types (各类) of lanterns that are used in China.
The most common type of lantern is the hanging variety (悬挂种类). These
decorative lanterns are hung in both homes and public space. You can see lanterns
decorating streets, public buildings, and shops. Lanterns hung during Chinese New
Year are thought to bring good luck. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can see a
special type of floating (浮着的) lantern being released (放) into the night skies. They
are beautiful to watch and are often released in large groups.
Lantern celebrations, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, took place near rivers and
lakes. This variety comes in many different shapes. They are floating (漂浮) on the
water in large groups to create a beautiful scene.
Although there is no longer a practical need for Chinese lanterns, they are still
made, used, and enjoyed by Chinese people during festivals. The streets in both big
cities and small towns are decorated with red lanterns during different festivals.
151．When were the first lanterns invented?

On April 19, 2026, at the Beijing E-Town half marathon (马拉松), a humanoid
robot named “Flash” crossed the finish line in 50′26″, beating the human world record
of 57′20″ in 2025. For the first time, a machine had outrun the best human runners in
a long-distance race.
This was no accident. The victory showed that robots had reached a new level
of skill in working independently. More than 40 percent of the competing robots ran
completely on their own. Using only sensors (传感器), cameras and other tools, these
robots could see the road in real time and independently complete difficult tasks such
as avoiding obstacles (障碍物) and planning their own ways. Even the course itself
was made more challenging by including hills and turns. Yet, the leading self-driving
robots still did well with added difficulties.
Besides, engineers used to need several minutes to change the battery and restart
the robot. This year, however, the process only took a few seconds with the
development of hot-swap battery technology (热插拔电池技术). With it, the robot
no longer needed to shut down, saving much time.
The marathon is more than a sports event. It’s a real-world test for robots. This
helps engineers find their weaknesses and improve their designs, which opens the
door for robots to be used more widely—in factories, in hospitals, and even at home
helping people.
We are now seeing the rise of smarter machines that are learning to live in our
world. Clearly, the robot race has only just begun.
160．What did the robot “Flash” do?
A．Beat a human record. B．Broke a machine.
C．Recorded running time. D．Lost a running race.
32161．What do we know about the competing robots this year?

B．All of them completed the race independently.
C．They depended on humans to plan their ways.
D．Some succeeded in dealing with the challenges.
162．What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?
A．The battery. B．The robot. C．The technology. D．The event.
163．According to Paragraph 4, what’s the value of the robot marathon?
A．It serves as a show for people to enjoy and relax.
B．It allows workers and doctors to free their hands.
C．It helps the public to understand running events.
D．It provides more information for future improvement.
164．Which is the best title for the passage?

B．From Racing to Reality: Humanoid Robots
C．How to Train a Robot for a Marathon
D．The History of the Beijing Robot Marathon
Table for one? Yes, please! In 2026, eating out alone is no longer a lonely habit
but a bold lifestyle choice. From busy restaurants in Kansas City to trendy bistros (小
餐馆) in New York, solo diners have discovered that flying solo can lead to best
experiences in the city. It is a good chance to stay away from noise and focus on
yourself.
One big advantage for solo eaters is getting a seat easily. While large groups
wait in long lines for twenty minutes or more, a single person can often skip the
crowd and get the best seat. You may sit in a quiet corner or by the window with a
nice street view.
Besides good seats, solo dining also brings special VIP treatment. Some
restaurants may offer a free glass of champagne or a small treat to make your night
unforgettable. Being alone also gives you total control over your clock. Without a
partner to talk to, you can finally eat at your own speed. You can slurp (吸食) your
soup, linger over dessert, and admire the cool decor (装潢) without ever feeling
rushed.
Dining alone also brings a sense of adventure. You are free to choose any
restaurant you like and try new dishes without asking others for advice. It is better to
put down your phone, talk to the waiter or just watch people around you.
Solo dining helps build independence. It makes you enjoy staying alone. So
walk into that new bistro with your head held high. Order the most adventurous thing
on the menu and enjoy every single moment of your solo food tour.
165．What do we know about solo dining from Paragraph 1?
A．It is still considered a lonely habit.B．It has become a popular lifestyle.

Dear Liz,
Life is busy and exciting in Thailand. Bangkok is just like any other big city
with a population of 10 million and heavy traffic. I’m very lucky because my host
family is in a nice quiet area outside the city. There are Mr. and Mrs. Phairat, their son
Sanan, who is 18, the daughter Chinda, who is 16, and grandpa and grandma.
I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. About 70 percent of
teachers communicate in English, and 30 percent in Thai, in the school. I’ve learned
some spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking lesson is my
favorite. I’m learning all about Thai food and culture. People don’t use chopsticks (筷
子) here, but spoons and forks. When I come back, I’m going to cook you a real Thai
meal.
Last weekend, we visited some temples (庙). We also drove to Pattaya beach
near Bangkok. I thought it was great, but Sanan and Chinda say that next month
they’re taking me to Phuket Island, where the beaches are even more beautiful. The
month after next, we’re going to travel to Mr. Phairat’s hometown in the north of
Thailand. The Phairats own land there, and they have two elephants. I’m going to ride
those elephants and even wash them. Sanan and Chinda say it’s really fun.
I’m amazed by everything in this country, especially by the elephants. Elephants
are an important part of Thai culture and way of life. They have been a traditional
symbol of Thailand for many years in times of war and peace. In the seventh century,
a Thai king trained 20, 000 elephants for battle (战争).
Love,
Mandy

After a 10-year project to count tuna (金枪鱼) and other large fish in the world’s
oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery: These fish are almost gone.
Because of too much fishing, almost 90 percent of the worldwide population of large
fish—the ones we usually eat—has disappeared. If we don’t act, these animals will
totally disappear. That will influence every animal in the ocean.
The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the world get
their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being low in fat.
But what seems like a healthy choice for humans is causing a disaster to our oceans.
“People are consuming (消费) too much,” says Lance Morgan, a scientist at the
Marine Conservation Biology Institute.
A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal’s life. When fish
like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain breaks
down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they find no
food.
The news may be scary, but taking action from now on can prevent harm that
hasn’t happened yet. World organizations are ordering countries to stop fishing too
much. The Monterey Bay Aquarium gives seafood choices to anyone hoping to keep
healthy without destroying the environment.
“If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your own values
and beliefs,” says Morgan. “Then decide what you’re going to eat.”
175．How does the writer start the text?
A．By giving a fact. B．By asking a question. C．By telling a
story. D．By using a saying.
176．What does the underlined word “demand” mean?
A．Wish. B．Support. C．Need. D．Price.
177．What do we know from Paragraph 3?
A．If sharks die out, tuna will die out soon. B．Tuna will be more popular in
35restaurants.
C．Tuna plays an important role in the ecosystem. D．Tuna disappeared
because they found no food.
178．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To tell people to stop polluting our oceans.
B．To tell people to protect wildlife in oceans.
C．To tell people to avoid eating too much seafood.
D．To tell people to live a balanced and healthy life.
179．What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A．We need to care about wildlife. B．We need to eat wild animals.
C．We need to reflect on our own values and beliefs. D．We don’t want to
protect wild animals.
“Look in my eyes! Tell me why?” Have you found yourself listening to “ancient
people” online recently? Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous
people from history, like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu, “back to life”. This
kind of video has become very popular, showing these historical people speaking in
modern language.
In one video, Du Fu talks about his experiences while Ming Dynasty medical
expert Li Shizhen jokes about modern life. “The videos let me learn more about
important ancient people, such as Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu. I didn’t know
much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. These kinds of
videos also make people more excited to learn about history and culture. A Douyin
user from Guangdong shared her changing feelings in a message under one of the
videos: “I used to be totally uninterested in history, but now I sometimes even go to
the library to search for more information when some topics really attract me.”
However, not everyone enjoys the popular style. Some people feel annoyed by
the way these characters speak in loud voices and always ask questions. “They’re
different from how they really were,” explained 14-year-old Wang Shuotong from
Jiangsu. “For example, Wen Zhengming was a polite and modest (谦逊的) artist in
history. So I think the video harms his image in a way.” Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei,
felt the same way. However, Xia admitted that the strong speaking style in the videos
helped him remember almost everything they said about their experiences and
achievements.
These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people speak for themselves.
36However, we should be careful with these videos, making sure they tell the truth and
aren’t just for fun.
180．What do the underlined words “This kind of video” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．The videos made by vloggers. B．The videos made with AI technology.
C．The videos made by famous people. D．The videos made with 3D

history videos?
A．She visited the library to look for more information sometimes.
B．She started to share her own historical experiences online.
C．She began to teach history to other people through the new way.
D．She always used the new technology to make her own history videos.
182．What can we know from the third paragraph?
A．It shows the popularity of the new kind of history videos.
B．There are different opinions about the new kind of history videos.
C．People can remember everything about ancient figures in the new kind of
history videos.
D．People are excited to learn how to make creative vlogs.

To better protect trees, China has made a new rule to care for old and famous
ones. This rule came into effect on March 15, 2025.
37Trees, whether old or young, play an important role on our planet. They make
oxygen for us to breathe and help clean the air. They provide homes and food for
animals. We use trees to make paper, furniture and musical instruments. Trees also
give us places to relax. It feels great to have a picnic under trees or take a walk in the
woods.
Trees can also make us feel better. The US ecologist ( 生态学家) Nalini
Nadkarni says trees help us become more mindful and kind to our surroundings. This
might be why many cultures have sacred ( 神 圣 的 ) forests. Artists often find
inspiration in trees. The US poet Joyce Kilmer wrote, “I think that I shall never see a
poem lovely as a tree.” Dutch artist Piet Mondrian painted many trees because he
loved their shapes.
Ancient trees are also part of our culture. They have lived for hundreds or even
thousands of years and have seen much of history. Ma Yunxin, who works at a
research center in Beijing, said, “▲. In Beijing, there are many ancient cypress trees
(柏树), each with its own story.”
Since trees are so wonderful, British author Matt Haig gives this advice in his
book Reasons to Stay Alive: “Look at trees. Be near trees. Plant trees.”
185．When did the rule about trees come into effect?
A．In the autumn of 2024. B．In the winter of 2024.
C．In the spring of 2025. D．In the summer of 2025.
186．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．How trees help clean the air. B．The importance of trees on our planet.
C．How trees provide homes for animals. D．The uses of trees in making paper
and furniture.
187．According to the ecologist, why do trees make people feel better?
A．Because they help people focus and care more.
B．Because they can make people earn more money.
C．Because people find inspiration in trees.
D．Because people love their shapes.
188．Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ in Paragraph 4?

A myth (谬论) is something that is not correct, but many people believe. There
are a lot of myths about the human brain.
One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next
part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much
smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that
although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of
it has an important function. Modern scientists think the “10 percent myth” ridiculous
(荒谬的).
The other most popular myth is about being “right brained” or “left brained”.
According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic
and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and
science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a
study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth.
According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally.
It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our
left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But
there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more, or that
scientific people use the left side more.
We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the
brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is
made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact
about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.

Many of us don’t pay much attention to the importance of eye care. If we take
care of our bodies, then we can surely be healthy. That is why we should give our eyes
a lot of care. Eye care is of foremost importance.
There are reasons for poor sight, like not eating enough food and aging (变老).
TVs, computers and reading are also causes of having poor sight. If you happen
to work in front of a computer, you’d better take a break once in a while.
Something dirty can cause redness and it will make you feel uncomfortable. It is
bad for your eyes, too. If this happens, the best way is to clean your eyes by using
cold water. You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things. For
example, sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to
protect your eyes from UV rays.
Eating healthy food will do good for your sight. Remember that vitamins (维生
素) A, C, and E are good for the eyes. Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins.
And you should do eye exercises because they protect your sight too. If a person
exercises regularly and eats the right kind of food, his or her eyes will stay healthy for
a long time.
These ways of eye care can help us keep our eyes healthy. Being happy all the
time can be helpful to a person’s sight, too. In a word, eye care is very important, no
matter how old a person is.
202．What is the most important way to protect our eyes, according to the text?

It’s wintertime. In China, November, December, January and February are
winter months. They include the following solar terms (节气): lidong (Beginning of
Winter)，xiaoxue (Minor Snow), daxue (Major Snow), dongzhi (Winter Solstice),
xiaohan (Minor Cold) and dahan (Major Cold).
42Winter begins at lidong (Nov. 7-8), after which most parts of the country can
start to expect cold weather. On this day, after a year of hard work, people are happy
to take a break and spend some time with family. The northern part of China
celebrates lidong as the “Small Spring Festival”. People have dumplings and eat
mutton soup (汤). But in the southern part, people enjoy eating yuanxiao and rice
cakes.
Xiaoxue (Nov. 22-23) and daxue (Dec. 6-8) come after lidong. During xiaoxue,
northern China can expect snow and temperatures to slowly fall below 0℃. Daxue
means even more snow and greater temperature drops.
When dongzhi (Dec. 21-23) comes, it brings the shortest day of the year and the
longest night. Many places around the country can expect the coldest weather yet.
Ancient Chinese people would often start counting “nine cold periods (数九寒天)”
from dongzhi. Every cold period has nine days. They believed that after 81 cold days,
spring would arrive.
Xiaohan (Jan. 4-6) usually brings the lowest temperatures of the year. There
may be high winds and light snow.
Finally, during dahan (Jan. 19-21), the sleety weather fills the fields with rain
and snow. All Chinese are ready to welcome the Chinese New Year after dahan. The
Spring Festival, China's most important festival, falls at this time. After that, a new

43Bamboo is an amazing plant. It is strong and is the fastest growing plant in the
world. Because of its amazing qualities, it has been used in many different ways.
Everyone knows that pandas love eating bamboo. But it has also been loved by
Chinese people for thousands of years. Bamboo shoots (竹笋)came out on people’s
dining tables during the Western Zhou Dynasty. They are still widely enjoyed today.
In southern China, people usually use bamboo leaves to make zongzi, a traditional
food for the Dragon Boat Festival. In some areas, people put different kinds of food
inside grown bamboo and roast(烘烤)it. It gives a lovely taste to the food.
Since ancient times, many Chinese people have lived near bamboo. People also
plant bamboo in Chinese gardens. They love how it looks as well as the sound it
makes in the wind and rain. If you walk around many modern homes in China, you
will find desks and chairs made of bamboo.
Bamboo is important in a lot of Chinese cultural activities. In Chinese music,
for example, the sounds of bamboo are very common. Bamboo instruments like the
sheng, the dizi, and the xiao are often heard in Chinese music, old and new.
Bamboo has shaped the history of China in many ways. It has deeply
affected(影响)the Chinese language, too. We can still see the character for bamboo in
many Chinese characters used every day.

Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with
bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic
of Mountains and Seas). This old book played an important role in the world and
inspired (给予灵感) today’s works. Let’s learn more about it!
Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC). Like an
encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time.
The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than
100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.
Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence (影响) on the culture of mythology (神话
学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581-618) and Tang (618-907)
dynasties, or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a
guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.
Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai
Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and
Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio《聊斋志异》. Pop culture works also borrow
ideas from the book. Some of the animals in the book even go into movies, such as
Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five
colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1,600 kilometers in a day. We can
see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021.

I grew up in the countryside. I didn’t understand what it brought to me until I
45became an adult. It helped me learn more useful skills than the people who grew up in
cities.
I learned to cook at about 10 years old. The first skill Ilearned was making dough
(面团) . I thought it would be easy because I often saw my mom do it—just mix water
and flour (面粉) , right ? Not quite! It was either too soft or too hard at first, but as I
kept trying, I learned how to do it.
Later, I cooked fried dishes and things like dumplings. Thanks to my cooking
skill, I can eat anything I want. Now I cook every meal instead of buying food from
the Internet. It saves money and I don’t have to wait for others to feed me.
Besides cooking, I did a lot of farm work in my childhood. I got to know how to
plant vegetables. Though it was hard work, I learned a lot. For example, the part of a
potato that has sprouts (芽) can be planted as a seed (种子) .
I discussed it with others. Some might say we can learn these things from
textbooks. But it can’t compare to the joy of doing it yourself. It brings a new way to
look at the world.
This may be why I was so happy when I heard the news that China would have
labor education (劳动教育) . Students in primary and middle schools should have at
least one class every week from September, 2022 to learn skills like cooking and
cleaning. Trust me. These useful skills will help you for the rest of your life.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is written by Mark Twain and is seen as one
of the great works of American fiction. The 13-year-old Huck tells us about how he
46gets out of the control of his father who always drinks a lot, his friendship with Jim
and their adventures (冒险) on the Mississippi as they journey south.
The Nobel Prize-winning writer Hemingway even said that “all modern
American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huck Finn... There
was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”
Maikafer, flieg! is a novel written in German. The storyteller in this book is a
9-year old girl Christine who lives in Vienna (维也纳) at the end of World War Ⅱ.
The world in a kid’s eyes is sometimes kind of different from that in adults’ eyes.
You may know more details about people’s daily life at that time by going on a
journey with Christine and listening to the voice deep in her heart.
“Sometimes it makes you laugh, but sometimes it makes you become silent,”
said one reader.
Alice in Wonderland is an English novel by Lewis Carroll, a math teacher at
Oxford University. It details the story of a young girl who falls through a rabbit
hole into a fantasy world. The characters, structure, the crazy imagination, and the
way the writer tells the story all make big differences to popular culture and
literature.
Unlike other literature works for children at that time, the book doesn’t want
to teach or educate kids. It shows that kids can read literature just for fun.
Oliver Twist is the second novel of the English writer Charles Dickens and
one of his most popular works. The story is mainly about a boy with no parents who
runs away from the workhouse (济贫院) to London and his life in the capital city.
Although the main character in this book is a boy, it’s not a children’s book. The

Most of you may think of clams (河蚌) as part of a big meal. But these little things
can do a more important job: testing how clean people’s drinking water is.
The main water station in Poland provides water for millions of people there.
They make eight clams to test the drinking water, because clams are good at finding
dirty water. If the water is not clean enough, they close their shells (壳). So, the water
station gets the clams and connects their shells to a computer. When four or more
clams close their shells at the same time, people know the water is dirty now.
Clams get used to dirty water in a few months, so they only work for three
months. People get new clams to take over the job. The water station says this could
work well to test how clean the water is.
There’s a film on this story called Fat Kathy. The film shows how wildlife helps
people around the world.

Have you ever seen a bee fly busily? Do you think the bee is just flying around?
In fact, the bee is hard at work.
Bees spend much time looking for food. But not all the bees in the honeycomb
have this work. There’re three kinds of bees—a queen bee, drones (雄蜂), and worker
bees. The queen bee is the mother of all the bees that live in the honeycomb. Worker
bees do all the other work in the honeycomb. Besides looking for food, they make and
48clean the honeycomb. They also look after the queen bee and protect her.
Bees make dance-like movements inside the honeycomb to send different
information about food. They tell where the food is and how far away it is from the
honeycomb. Bees can even share how much food there is and how good it is. And
surprisingly, a new study has found that a group of bees could create an amazing total
of electricity (电) by beating their wings more than 200 times per second. And the
amount (量) of electricity could reach 100 to 1,000 V. That’s eight times greater than
the electricity a storm cloud can create.
Scientists found that the thicker (更厚的) a cloud of bees is, the more electricity
it generates. Based on these findings, the team recorded that bees—which group
together to form a huge, thick cloud of bees—could have an influence similar to that
of a storm. Further research is needed to find out how electricity influences the bees
and their environment.
241．What do worker bees need to do?

244．Which one shows the relationship between the thickness of a cloud of bees (x)
and the amount of electricity (y)?
A． B．
C． D．

Do you go on school trips? Do you think you can learn a lot from the school
trips? It’s true that the classroom is very important in students’ learning, but they can
learn outside, too. School trips give students different learning experiences.
First of all, school trips are special lessons for students. There are many
49interesting things that are easy to learn on the trips. It’s like watching videos in class,
but even better.
What’s more, being outside can be the best way of understanding the things you
learned in the classroom. On school trips, students get excited to see the things that
teachers often talk about in the classroom. It can help them explore their interests and
make them think differently. Taking the students to a historical place, for example,
makes them picture what they learned inside the classroom and read from history
books.
Also, students can meet new people on school trips. They meet people who may
be working to look after the plants, animals or parks. These people have better ideas
of how things work in the real world. Talking with them can help open students’ eyes.
Also students need to work in groups on a school trip. They may meet new students
from other schools. They can make friends and then help each other.
With all these benefits of school trips, why don’t you go out of the classroom
and start the journey of learning?

Have you visited any traditional Chinese gardens (花园)? If you compare them
with some Western gardens, you may find that traditional Chinese gardens look more
like natural landscapes (风景).
Chinese gardens have a long history. There were two main types of gardens:
imperial (皇家的) and private (私人的) gardens. Imperial gardens were for the
emperor and his family. Private gardens were built by general nobles. Both types of
gardens were built for hunting and resting.
The Summer Palace in Beijing is China’s famous imperial garden. It covers
about 3 million square meters. Kunming Lake takes up almost 3/4 of the garden’s
total area. There are over 3,000 ancient buildings and more than 1,600 ancient and
famous trees in the garden. You can also see a large number of priceless historical
treasures. With such a rich collection, the Summer Palace is known as the “Imperial
Garden Museum”.
As for private gardens, the most famous one is the Humble Administrator’s
Garden (拙政园) in Suzhou. It has an area of about 52,000 square meters. The garden
is very delicate. It looks like a beautiful picture when people stand in the garden,
50viewing it from any angle (角度). And the whole garden looks different in different
seasons.

Can you imagine that a fish talks to you? As we know, fish often swim silently
in the water. However, recent research by Aaron Rice, a scientist at the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology, has shown that fish can talk! Rice and his team found that many fish use
sounds to communicate (交流), just like we use our voices to talk with each other.
Rice’s research has shown that fish have their language and can communicate
with each other in many different ways. This communication is important to fish
because it helps them share important information. Fish use different sounds for
different reasons. For example, some fish use sounds to warn of danger—if a fish
senses danger, it can warn other fish by making a special sound. And they can use a
different sound to find other fish of their kind.
Rice’s team found that one kind of fish can make a loud sound by contracting
muscles (收缩肌肉) around their swim bladders (鱼鳔). Another kind of fish that
Rice studied can use their swim bladders to make a sound that is comparable to a
human voice. Some scientists think that they can make that sound by rubbing (摩擦)
their swim bladders together.
Now, thanks to Rice’s research, we understand more about fish and their
amazing abilities. And here also comes the question: Is there something else—
something more secret about fish communication that we don’t know about?

In China, paper cutting is more than just a hobby; it is a symbol of luck and
happiness. During the Spring Festival, people paste red paper cuttings on windows
and doors to wish for a better year.
Li Xia, a 35-year-old teacher from Xi’an, has loved paper cutting since she was
a child. “When I hold the scissors and red paper, I forget all my worries,” she says. “It
helps me find inner peace. Creating a complex pattern takes patience, but seeing the
final work gives me great joy.”
Unlike modern digital art, paper cutting is done entirely by hand. “It’s not about
speed or making money,” says Wang Lei, a master of this art. “It’s about the
connection between your heart and your hands. Every cut carries emotion.” He
believes that even in the age of computers, this traditional skill is valuable because it
teaches us to slow down and focus.
For some young people, paper cutting is also a form of exercise for the brain. “It
requires great concentration,” says a college student. “After cutting for an hour, I feel
relaxed, just like after doing yoga.”
Today, paper cutting is not only popular in China but also known around the
world. It shows the beauty of Chinese culture and brings peace to modern lives.

Today, people are looking for different ways to relax in their free time. Let’s
learn about three wonderful relaxing activities.
Forest bathing is a way to relax by spending time in nature.
You can go to a park or a forest to try forest bathing. Walk slowly
and look around at the beautiful landscape. Listen to the sounds
of the birds. Take deep breaths of the fresh air. This helps your
53body and mind feel relaxed.
Tea Bai Xi (茶百戏) is a traditional Chinese hobby. People
draw beautiful pictures on the surface (表层) of tea with a small
tool. Watching this art makes people feel peaceful and happy. It is
a nice way to relax and learn about Chinese culture at the same
time.
In Guangxi, there is a fun village activity called the
Farmers’ Tool Walk Show in Guiping. It happens at a county
super league football game (县级超级足球赛). Farmers from
villages come to the field. They walk on the field in traditional
clothes. They show farming tools like bamboo hats and baskets.
This helps them take a break from hard work and share happiness
with others.
These activities show us that relaxing can be simple and fun. The most
important thing is to enjoy the moment and feel happy.
264．How many free-time activities are mentioned in the passage?

What do young people like to do in their free time? If you think they are all
playing video games or watching short videos on their phones, you might be wrong.
In 2026, many young people are turning to something quite different — “grandma
hobbies.”
“Grandma hobbies” is a fun name for traditional activities like needlepoint (刺
绣) and gardening. These are things that people’s grandmothers used to enjoy. But
now, Gen Z (people born after 1997) are falling in love with them.
54Emma MacTaggart, 26, from the US, is a good example. She used to work long
hours in banking. After work, she would just look through her phone for hours — a
habit called “getting lost in her phone.” To change this, she and her roommates
decided to try needlepoint. Soon, they became “fully obsessed.” Emma said it was so
relaxing that they spent almost all their free time making needlepoint works instead of
looking at a screen.
These old hobbies help young people reduce stress and feel relaxed. When they
finish a gift or a dish, they feel proud and successful. Social media helps them become
more popular. Young people share their works online and make friends. Some even
turn their hobbies into businesses. Take Anna Weare as an example, a 31-year-old
blacksmith (铁匠) — people now wait a year for her handmade products.
So next time you see a young person blacksmithing, don’t be surprised. It’s the
newest cool thing to do!
269．What are “grandma hobbies” according to the passage?
A．Modern mobile phone apps. B．Old-fashioned video
games. C．Traditional enjoyable activities.
270．Why did Emma MacTaggart start needlepoint?
A．To make more money. B．To change her lifestyle.
C．To pass the time with friends.
271．What does the underlined word “obsessed” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．紧张的 B．着迷的 C．困惑的
272．What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A．“Grandma hobbies” help young people relax and find pleasure.
B．All young people turn their hobbies into successful businesses.
C．Video games are the most popular free-time activity for Gen Z.

September.”，世界清洁日是在9月的第三个星期六，对应图片中的21号，即选
项C。
66．根据“People aged 6 to 70”和“Children under 12 must come here with
an adult (成年人) .”，6-70岁都可以参加此项活动，12岁以下的孩子必须有一个
6成年人陪伴。因此“45岁的西蒙(在6-70岁之间)”以及“7岁(＜12岁)的苏珊和
她40岁的妈妈(一个成年人陪伴)”可以参加此活动。
67．根据“ The Forest Park 9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.”，志愿者将在森林公园工作
“3(12-9=3)小时”。
68．根据Notice“Please...bring your own gloves”，志愿者需要自带“手套”。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了冰川的形成过程、颜色成因、年龄差异及
不同类型。
【详解】70．根据第一段内容“Every year, new snow falls on top of the old snow.
(①) The layers of snow press down on each other, (④)...and the air is pushed out of
the snow. (③) This allows the crystals to grow longer. (②) Over time, the snow layer
at the bottom becomes ice. (⑤)”可知，冰川形成的正确顺序是：新雪落在旧雪上
→雪层相互挤压→空气被挤出→雪晶体变长→底部雪层变成冰。即①④③②⑤。
对应选项B。
71．第二段提到“The reason is that the ice doesn’t have much air, so it absorbs
different parts of light and reflects blue light.”可知，冰层没有太多空气，因此它会
“吸收”不同部分的光线并反射蓝光。absorbs意为“吸收”，与选项A”Takes
in (吸收/接纳)”意思相近。
72．第三段提到“Not all of the glaciers are that old, though. A number of glaciers in
Alaska are only about 100 years old.”，作者提到阿拉斯加的冰川只有约100年历
史，是为了支撑前一句的观点，即解释并非所有的冰川都非常古老。
73．最后一段首句提出“There are different kinds of glaciers.”，随后分别介绍了
“An ice stream”和“Rock glaciers”两种具体类型，这是通过举例子的方式来支
持观点。

finally arrived. Minnie May felt much better.”可知，安妮连夜照顾孩子并挽救了她
的生命，这一事件让戴安娜的母亲改变了对安妮的看法，事情才开始好转。
80．根据原文第8段“Mrs. Barry turned to Anne. ‘Diana is not allowed to come
here again!’”可知，一开始巴里夫人对安妮非常生气；而根据原文第12~13 段
“The next day, Mrs. Barry went to Green Gables with some fresh flowers for
Anne...‘I’m truly sorry. I shouldn’t have kept you and Diana apart.’”可知，安妮救了
她的小女儿后，巴里夫人对安妮的态度转为感激和歉意，态度从愤怒转变为感
激。
81．安妮和戴安娜的友谊因一场误会遭遇了挫折，但安妮在朋友遇到困难时挺

动向其他鸟儿求助，最终解决了问题。故事体现了“保持冷静能帮人清晰思考、
解决问题”的主旨。
85．Henry看到闪光就好奇地飞下去查看，体现了他的好奇心；迷路后他冷静
回忆父母的话并采取行动解决问题，体现了他的聪明机智，因此他“curious
and smart”。

【详解】94．第一段明确指出：“I wanted to see other cultures, so I moved to
New York in the late 1990s”，搬去纽约的原因是想体验其他文化。
95．第二段对比纽约和洛杉矶时写道：“I found LA’s slower pace centred on art,
community, and tradition—unlike New York’s intensity”，说明洛杉矶更注重艺术
和社区，而纽约更紧张激烈。
96．第三段直接说明：“My studies made me think about how societies were
organized and the roles people played. I focused on how different cultures show
leadership and beliefs”，研究重点是社会组织方式和人的角色。
97．第四段明确对比：“In Madrid, people were relaxed about time, but in New
York, being on time was very important”，马德里人对时间很随意。
98．第五段前文说“Culture is like a pair of glasses”，后文接“By living in
different places, I gained a wider view of the world”，眼镜的比喻应强调“让我们

“它”。根据上下文逻辑，“它”指代的是前文提到的“fire”。
107．根据最后一段“It is an important ancient book...and thought as one of the
treasures of Chinese culture”可知，作者认为这本书是中国文化的瑰宝之一。
treasure意为“珍宝”，对应选项中的Valuable有价值的。
108．通读全文可知，该书记录了先秦时期的地理、文化、神话故事和神奇生物，
是文化的瑰宝。A 项“记录古代战争”文中未提及主要为此；B 项“描述现代
地理”错误，文中说是before the Qin Dynasty；C项“讲笑话”错误，文中是

礼仪系统讲起，指出如今许多规则虽不如以前严格，但部分仍在重要场合沿用
并被视为良好礼仪的典范。内容涵盖三个方面：行走礼仪（与长辈同行时的位
置与礼节）、座次礼仪（餐桌座位安排依据身份/年龄）以及作揖礼（抱拳、拱
手、左掌掩右拳的含义与演变）。
【详解】109．第一段Walking Etiquette中指出：“If three people walk together,
the elder or a teacher should be in the middle.” 说明三人同行时老师应走在中间位
置。
110．该句“The seating order is still widely used in family and business dinners.”意
为“座次顺序在家庭和商务宴席中仍被广泛使用”，是对Sitting Etiquette部分
的总结性陈述；第②段末尾详细介绍了座位安排规则（best seat faces east or the
door），此句放在②处承上启下最为恰当。
111．第四段明确描述了Fist-and-Palm Salute（拱手礼）的动作：“with the fist's
right hand covered by the left hand”，即左手覆盖右手握拳，对应图片B所示的手
势。
112．最后一段提到军队中使用左掌掩右拳的方式持武器表示尊敬，这是对前文
Fist-and-Palm Salute（另一种Yi Li）的补充说明，用于提供更多相关信息。
10113．全文围绕中国礼仪展开，已介绍了行走礼仪、座次礼仪、作揖礼（含抱拳、
拱手、Fist-and-Palm Salute三种），下一段自然应继续介绍其他种类的中国传
统礼仪。
114．D 115．B 116．C 117．A 118．B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了蓝洞的定义、名称由来、水

洞穴生态系统。
【详解】114．根据第一段“A blue hole is a flooded sea cave...Far below sea
level...with no oxygen and no light. Yet these areas are filled with life forms...often on
islands.”可知，蓝洞是海平面以下的海洞。①正确，无氧无光但有生命形式。③
正确，常形成于岛屿上。④正确。第二段指出颜色是天空的反射而非自身发光。
②错误，第三段描述了多层结构，不止三层。⑤错误。因此①③④正确。
115．空前句提到蓝洞颜色通常是天空在水中的倒影，空后句提到“Some have
dark or muddy water”有些是深色或浑浊的水。前后语意存在转折，说明并非所
有蓝洞表面都是蓝色的。B 项“But not all of these cave systems have blue
surfaces.”符合逻辑衔接。
116．根据第三段“The fresh water covers a denser layer of salt water. Underneath
this is a layer of poisonous hydrogen sulfide...”可知，淡水覆盖在咸水层之上，而
“this”指代的是被覆盖的那一层，即“a denser layer of salt water”咸水层。
117．根据第四段科学家Kenny Broad的话“One reason is that you still physically
have to go there—you can't send in a submarine or any other machine.”可知，蓝洞
难以被理解的原因之一是无法使用潜水艇或其他机器仪器进行探索，必须亲自
前往。
118．根据最后一段“And they must pay careful attention to their air supply.”可知，
潜水员必须仔细注意他们的空气供应。A项中设备数量应为“more than one
set”；C项中指南绳主要针对“for the first time”的探索者；D项文中未提及速度
要求。

calligraphy.”，说明该展览展示的是早期的中国书画作品。
122．“Special Exhibitions”部分中关于“Grand Gallop”的介绍提到：“Art and
Culture of the Horse... The horse is the star at this special exhibition.”，说明该展览
的主要主题是艺术和文化中的马。
123．根据“Ticket Information”，Gallery 8属于特别展览（Special Exhibition
Ticket涵盖Gallery 1到Gallery 9），而标准门票（General Admission Ticket）只
11涵盖Gallery 1到Gallery 7。因此，参观Gallery 8需要购买特别展览门票。
124．A项错误，博物馆还展示书画等其他艺术品；C项错误，门票价格不同
（HK$50和HK$120）；D项错误，周五、周六及公众假期开放至晚上8点；B
项正确，文章末尾“Contact Us”部分提到：“Please visit our Plan Your Visit page
or call... for more information”，说明游客可以通过访问网页或打电话两种方式获
取信息。

【详解】148．第二段第一、二句“Space junk is all the rubbish that humans have
left in space. This includes old satellites...”明确给出了太空垃圾的定义及具体包含
的物品，由此可知，从第二段中我们可以了解到什么是太空垃圾。
149．第三段“It flies around Earth at about 20,000 km per hour! So even a small
piece can damage a spacecraft.”，提到太空垃圾绕地球运行的速度极快（每小时2
万公里），因此即便是很小的一块碎片也能“damage”航天器，结合上下文语境，
“损坏”航天器即是对其造成伤害，故“damage”与“harm”意思接近。
150．文章从突发新闻入手，分析了太空垃圾的构成和极高的运行速度，最后一
段强调“All countries need to work together to keep space safe”，纵观全文，作者

主要类型。
153．根据画线词所在句“Although there is no longer a practical need for Chinese
lanterns...”并结合第一段提到的最早用途是照明（实际用途），而现在主要用于
装饰和象征意义，可推断此处指不再有“实际的”需求。practical意为“实际
的、实用的”。
154．根据第一段可知，为学习提供照明（provide light for reading and working）
是灯笼最早的用途；而最后一段提到现在不再有实际需求，主要用于节日装饰
和庆祝。“为学习提供照明”不是现在使用灯笼的原因。

【详解】165．根据第一段“In 2026, eating out alone is no longer a lonely habit
but a bold lifestyle choice.”可知，独自就餐已成为一种勇敢的生活方式。
166．根据第二段内容“While large groups wait in long lines...a single person can
often skip the crowd and get the best seat.”可知，单人就餐因为人数少、占用空间
小，安排座位更灵活，所以更容易获得好位置。
167．根据第三段中“Being alone also gives you total control over your clock.
Without a partner to talk to, you can finally eat at your own speed.”可知，作者列举
“slurp your soup”和“linger over dessert”是为了说明独自就餐可以按照自己的节
奏进食，不受他人催促，享受自由。

少，破坏海洋生态；文章呼吁控制滥捕、理性吃海鲜，保护海洋生物。
【详解】175．第一段“After a 10-year project to count tuna (金枪鱼) and other
large fish in the world’s oceans, scientists have made a very surprising discovery:
These fish are almost gone.”文章开篇抛出科研事实：十年调研发现大型海鱼近乎
绝迹，即用客观研究数据开篇。
176．第二段“The demand for fish is growing. Almost a billion people around the
world get their protein (蛋白质) mostly from fish. Doctors praise seafood for being
low in fat.”后文解释说全球近十亿人主要从鱼肉中摄取蛋白质，医生也推崇海鲜
低脂的优点，对应鱼的需求在增长，“demand”意为“需求”，与“Need”同义。
177．第三段“A dish of tuna in restaurants costs more than just one animal’s life.
When fish like tuna disappear from the ecosystem (生态系统), the ocean’s food chain
breaks down. Animals such as sharks, which normally eat tuna, may die because they
find no food.”指出金枪鱼消失→食物链断裂→鲨鱼缺少食物濒临死亡，可推断
金枪鱼在生态系统里地位关键。
178．全文围绕滥捕造成海洋鱼类濒危、生态受损，呼吁管控捕捞、理性饮食，
核心目的是保护海洋野生动物。
179．最后一段“‘If you care about wildlife, first spend time and think about your
own values and beliefs,’ says Morgan. ‘Then decide what you’re going to eat.’”落脚
点是反思自身价值观与信念、理性选食材。

史形象不符。
【详解】180．第一段“Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous
people from history, like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu, ‘back to life’. This
kind of video has become very popular, showing these historical people speaking in
modern language.”中“This kind of video”指代前文出现的AI制作的历史人物短
视频。
181．第二段“A Douyin user from Guangdong shared her changing feelings in a
message under one of the videos: ‘I used to be totally uninterested in history, but now
I sometimes even go to the library to search for more information when some topics
16really attract me.’”说明她会去图书馆搜索更多资料。
182．第三段“However, not everyone enjoys the popular style. Some people feel
annoyed by the way these characters speak in loud voices and always ask questions…
However, Xia admitted that the strong speaking style in the videos helped him
remember almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements.”说
明一部分人反感视频改编历史形象；另一人虽不认同人设但承认视频便于记忆
历史，体现褒贬不一、观点不同。
183．最后一段“These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people speak
for themselves. However, we should be careful with these videos, making sure they
tell the truth and aren’t just for fun.”说明既肯定新式视频的创新优势，又提醒要尊
重史实，态度中立客观。
184．P1总起：引出AI历史短视频；P2阐述正方观点；P3阐述反方观点；
P4：作者客观评述，总结，对应B项结构。

2025年三月生效，即春季。
186．第二段“Trees, whether old or young, play an important role on our planet…
Trees also give us places to relax. It feels great to have a picnic under trees or take a
walk in the woods.”通过介绍树木产氧气、净化空气、动物居所、用材、休闲，
整体讲树木重要性。
187．第三段第二句“The US ecologist (生态学家) Nalini Nadkarni says trees help
us become more mindful and kind to our surroundings.”说明树木能让人变得心思沉
静，善待周遭环境。
188．第四段“They have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years and have
seen much of history…In Beijing, there are many ancient cypress trees (柏树), each
with its own story.”前文介绍古树存活几百上千年、见证历史，后文介绍北京古
柏树，每棵都有自己的故事，B项“Old trees can tell us something about the
past.”承接上文“见证历史”，衔接下文“自带故事”，逻辑通顺。
189．文章先引出护树新规，主体全段讲述树木各类价值，因此标题应为“The
Importance of Trees”。
190．C 191．A 192．A

坐一次公交车仅需支付2.9美元，一共三人出行，总费用是2.9×3=8.7美元。
192． 根据文章首段“How do so many people get to work or school? How do
people travel? Here’s something about it.（这么多纽约人如何上班或上学？人们日
17常怎么出行？下文为你介绍相关内容）”，结合全文分别介绍三种纽约的出行
方式可推知，本文主要讲述纽约的交通情况。

物。选项B“因为他们可以享受不同的文化和食物”与文意相符。
194．根据最后一段“The busiest time of year for Europe is summer. From June to
August, travelers from all over the world go to this place…”可知，此处主要讨论欧
洲的旅游旺季，结合上下文语境，“this place”指代的是前文中的“Europe（欧
洲）”。
195．根据第四段“If you are backpacking through Europe, the best time to travel is
from November to March, when you’ll find cheap tickets for planes and hotels.”可知，
背包旅行在11月至次年3月期间花费最少，12月包含在此时间段内，故B项正

percent of our brains”，由此可知最知名的人脑谬论是人类只使用了大脑的
10%。
198．第四段写明：“We use our left side for language more”，说明左脑更多用于
语言。
199．第三段前文介绍：“The other most popular myth is about being ‘right
brained’ or ‘left brained’”，代词This指代上文的左右脑谬论。
200．最后一段说明：“Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water”，

中列出的伤眼因素不含身高，所以Height不能造成视力变差。
204．根据原文第二段“If you happen to work in front of a computer, you’d better
take a break once in a while.”，可知长时间用电脑时需要中途休息。
205．文章依次介绍伤眼原因、清洁眼睛、佩戴墨镜、健康饮食、做眼保健操等

瘟疫。故选D。
207．根据文章第二段“The dragon is about 70 meters long…”可知，火龙大约70
米长。对应选项D。故选D。
208．根据文章第二段“Its whole body is full of burning incense.”可知，火龙全身
插满了燃烧的香。故选C。
209．根据表格信息可知，表演地点为Tai Hang 和Victoria Park，最佳观赏点为
Wun Sha Street。Tin Hau Subway Station仅是前往Victoria Park的指引地点，并
非表演或观赏地点。故选D。
210．文章主要介绍了大坑火龙舞的历史渊源、外形特征及演出信息，属于传统
文化范畴，因此最可能出现在报纸的“文化”版块。故选A。

【导语】本文介绍竹子的特性、饮食用途、生活装饰、文化乐器、汉字影响及
未来价值，全方位讲述竹子与中国人、中国生活和文化的紧密联系。

fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails, these magical animals are from
Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas).”作者列举了《山海经》中各种
奇特的动物，目的是引起读者的兴趣。
222．第二段“Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC). Like
an encyclopedia (百科全书), it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that
time”中，前文提到了《山海经》，后面说像百科全书一样记录当时人们眼中的
世界，所以“it”指代的是“Shan Hai Jing”。
223．第二段提到“The 30,000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains,
300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.”可知在《山
海经》中能找到州、山、河，没有提到植物和艺术。所以能找到1、2、3。
224．第三段提到“In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook
for traveling in China. The book’s monsters (怪兽) were also popular.”说明《山海
经》到了日本后，书和书中的怪兽都很受欢迎。
225．文章最后一段提到“Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works.”以及前文对
《山海经》对世界文化、作品等方面影响的阐述，可知文章主要讲的是《山海

历险记》《Maikafer, flieg!》《爱丽丝梦游仙境》《雾都孤儿》的作者、主要内
容、写作语言及文学价值等。
【详解】231．第一段和第三段指出《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》和《爱丽丝梦游
仙境》为英文作品，第二段指出《Maikafer, flieg!》为德文作品，第四段指出
《雾都孤儿》为英文作品，因此四本书共使用两种语言。
20232．第一段提到故事主要内容（how he gets out of the control...）、Huck的年龄
（The 13-year-old Huck）以及该书对美国文学的重要性（Hemingway的评价），
但没有提及故事发生的时间。
233．第三段提到《爱丽丝梦游仙境》包含“crazy imagination”，因此充满想象
力的书应选择此书。
234．第二段指出《Maikafer, flieg!》通过9岁女孩Christine的视角展现世界，
并提到“listening to the voice deep in her heart”，说明该书展现了Christine对二
战期间亲身经历的看法。
235．第四段指出《雾都孤儿》“it’s not a children’s book”，且《哈克贝利·费恩
历险记》《Maikafer, flieg!》虽主角是孩子，但并非全部适合儿童阅读，因此A
项“四本书主角都是孩子且适合儿童阅读”错误。
236．D 237．B 238．D 239．C 240．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了波兰水站利用河蚌检测饮用水水质的方法、
原理与相关情况。
【详解】236．文章第二段第二句“They make eight clams to test the drinking
water, because clams are good at finding dirty water.”指出，波兰水站用河蚌检测水
质。

time, people know the water is dirty now.”指出，连接电脑是为了监测水质是否干
净。
239．文章第三段第一句、第二句“Clams get used to dirty water in a few months,
so they only work for three months. People get new clams to take over the job.”指出，
通过缩短工作时间防止河蚌适应污水。
240．文章最后一段第二句“The film shows how wildlife helps people around the
world.”指出，野生动物可以帮助人类更好地生活。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了蜜蜂的分工、交流方式，以及新研究
发现的蜂群振翅发电的现象，揭示了蜜蜂的多种有趣特性。
【详解】241．第二段明确指出“Worker bees do all the other work in the
honeycomb. Besides looking for food, they make and clean the honeycomb. They also
look after the queen bee and protect her”，直接说明工蜂的工作包括寻找食物、筑
造清理蜂巢、照顾蜂王，不包含保护雄蜂，因此答案是原文直接信息。
242．第三段开头提到“Bees make dance-like movements inside the honeycomb to
send different information about food”，说明蜜蜂通过类似舞蹈的不同动作传递信
息，因此答案是原文直接信息。
243．第三段提到“a group of bees could create an amazing total of electricity”，第
四段指出“Scientists found that the thicker a cloud of bees is, the more electricity it
generates”，表明“generates”与“create”意思一致，意为“产生、创造”。
244．第四段明确说明“the thicker a cloud of bees is, the more electricity it
generates”，即蜂群的厚度（x）与产生的电量（y）呈正比关系，因此答案是基
于原文直接信息的逻辑推断。
245．全文介绍了蜜蜂的分工、交流方式、蜂群发电等多种特性，这些都是蜜蜂
21的“秘密”，因此 “The Secrets of Bees”最能概括全文主旨，是基于全文内容
的主旨概括信息。

can learn a lot from the school trips?”，作者开篇通过两个问题引出本文关于校园
旅行的主题，属于以提问的方式开篇。
247．第三段第一句“What’s more, being outside can be the best way of
understanding the things you learned in the classroom.”，原文直接点明身处户外是
理解课堂所学内容的最佳方式。
248．第四段“Talking with them can help open students’ eyes.”，②符合原文“和
遇到的新人交流能开阔学生眼界”的描述；第四段“They may meet new
students from other schools. They can make friends and then help each other.”，④符
合原文“学生可以结识其他学校的新学生并成为朋友”的描述。①错误，原文
仅说明旅行中遇到的从业者更了解现实世界的运行，该表述不符合原文；③错
误，原文提到学生在旅行中需要分组，结识的是其他学校的新学生，并非和老
朋友分组。

251．第四段中“delicate”所在句为：“The garden is very delicate. It looks like a
beautiful picture when people stand in the garden, viewing it from any angle.”，说明
站在园中任何角度都像一幅美丽的画，因此“delicate”意为“精致的”。
252．最后一段指出：“Chinese gardens are influenced and developed by nature in
some ways. It shows the importance of nature in Chinese culture.”，说明中国文化可
以受到自然的影响。
253．B 254．B 255．C

rubbing their swim bladders together.”可知，第三段主要描述了鱼是如何发出声音
的。
259．根据文章最后一段提出的问题“Is there something else—something more
secret about fish communication that we don’t know about?”可知，文章接下来可能
会探讨声音交流之外的其他交流方式，选项D“鱼可以使用肢体语言交流”符合
“其他交流方式”的推测。
