Bark
Cover Price: $19.80 Price: $15.00 ($2.50/issue (期) )
You save: $4.80 (24%) Review: By Pat Kane
I absolutely love Bark magazine! I love the "smiling" pages and the tips on every issue. I
am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were
going to put them down. Everyone should have a chance to live and Bark stresses that with its
articles. This magazine is a MUST HAVE for any dog lover!!
Dog Fancy
Cover Price: $54.00 Price: $14.99 ($1.25/issue)
You save: $39.01 (72%) Review: By Berner Mom
Don't waste your money on this magazine. 60-70 percent of it are advertisements, and
the articles offer little useful information. It might be suitable for children, but not adults who
are serious about educating themselves about dogs.
Dog World
Cover Price: $48.88 Price: $14.99 ($1.25/issue)
You save: $33.89 (69%) Review: By one critic
Dog World offers an abundance of captivating and intellectually challenging pieces that
cater to enthusiasts engaged in the realm of canine exhibitions, reproduction, and competitive
activities. Nonetheless, a significant portion of the publication's content, exceeding half, is
allocated to advertisements from breeders, which can be perceived as monotonous. Despite
this, the magazine is commendable for its articles. It presents a collection of well-crafted
articles, yet it is inundated with an excessive quantity of commercial notices.
Modern Dog
Cover Price: $45.00 Price: $15.00 ($3.75/issue)
You save: $30.00 (66%) Review: By Dinah
My latest cherished periodical has captured my heart! It is a treasure trove of
aesthetically pleasing imagery, intellectually stimulating and delightfully entertaining
compositions, sartorial elegance, creative artistry, and in-depth conversations with prominent
individuals... all centered around the theme of canines! The front-page figures vary from the
illustrious Paris Hilton and the whimsical Tinkerbell to the esteemed Virginia Madsen
accompanied by her canine companions. Owing to the enlightening insights provided by
Modern Dog, I have become well-versed in the art of hosting a canine-centric social gathering
and have mastered the technique to effectively summon my dog in response to my call. It is
undoubtedly a publication that merits a thorough examination.

Maya had always been the type who planned everything. She kept color-coded calendars and believed that
hard work could control any outcome. This approach served her well through high school — her grades were
excellent, and her future seemed clearly mapped out.
Then came the ice storm. It hit on a Sunday evening in February, when Maya was going over her study
schedule. The wind roared outside, and within an hour, tree branches crashed down across the neighborhood. The
lights went out, enveloping the house in sudden darkness. Maya fell silent, then stormed out of the room. She had
been ready to spend the evening going through math problems, and the unexpected cutoff had broken her carefully
arranged plan.
Her mother lit candles while her father searched for the radio. Cut off from Wi-Fi and mobile service, the
family sat together in the living room. Maya’s younger brother suggested they tell stories, something they had not
done together in years. Though unwilling at first, Maya listened as her parents shared memories from their own
childhoods — moments she had never known before. When it was Maya’s turn, she talked about a summer camp she
had joined years ago. She described the girl who taught her to take a boat, the night they lay watching shooting stars,
and the lightness of being free from busy schedules. As she spoke, she realized how seldom she let herself hold onto
moments that could never be planned.
The power stayed off for three days. Maya did not open a single textbook. Instead, she played board games
with her brother and discovered that her father knew every word to songs from the 1980s. She also spent long hours
by the window, watching ice turn the familiar streets into something strangely beautiful.
When the electricity finally returned, Maya did not hurry back to her old habit. Something inside her had
changed. She had come to see that life’s unexpected breaks were not always losses. Sometimes they were chances to
notice what she had been too busy to see.
24．What can we know about Maya from paragraph 1?
A．She was unwilling to try new things.
B．She preferred to live a well-organized life.
C．She was easy to get satisfied with small gains.
D．She cared little about her school performance.
25．How did Maya feel about the power cut at first?
A．Annoyed.
B．Confused.
C．Relieved.
D．Frightened.
26．What happened during the three days without power?
A．Maya stuck to her study plan as usual.
B．Maya cleared the ice-covered streets outside.
C．The family spent some quality time together.
D．The family made up many interesting stories about kids.
27．What quality has Maya most probably developed through this experience?
A．Responsibility. B．Independence.
C．Determination.
D．Adaptability.
C
Although gratitude is often top of mind around the holidays, child development experts say this season is
really a reminder that thankfulness works best as a daily, year-round practice, one that can meaningfully support
children’s emotional health.
“As children regularly practice noticing small, good things, they’re building neural (神经系统的) paths that
help them shift attention away from stress and toward positive aspects of their experience,” children’s music artist,
author and mindfulness educator Kira Willey said. Over time, she said, those repeated moments help children “find
good ground in all kinds of situations, even when things feel confusing”.
As concerns about youth mental health continue, experts say gratitude remains one of the simplest and most
accessible tools families can use to support kids’ emotional recovery. For many families, gratitude has become a
practical strategy for easing day-to-day stress.
Janine Marcello, a mom from Rhode Island, said that her family began a nightly gratitude check-in when her
two daughters were struggling with uncertainty. “It wasn’t anything difficult,” Marcello said. “We’d just sit and go
around saying one thing we appreciated that day. At first they rolled their eyes, but after a few weeks they were
reminding me to do it. It honestly helped all of us settle our nerves.”
Experts describe gratitude as a multi-step skill: noticing something positive, recognizing someone else helped
make it happen, feeling appreciation and expressing it. Children aren’t born knowing how to do this naturally; they
build the skill slowly, often by watching adults model it.
For younger kids, gratitude works best when it’s playful, simple and added into routines that already exist.
“The magic secret is to keep it short, keep it playful, and make it regular by keeping it to things you already do every
day,” she said. That might mean pausing at breakfast to appreciate where food came from, naming something that
made them smile on the ride to school, or sharing one small thing they’re grateful for at bedtime.
Parents shouldn’t worry if kids don’t immediately grasp the idea. The seeds you’re planting through these
repeated moments will grow over time.
28．What do child development experts stress about thankfulness?
A．Work on many kinds of holidays.
B．Support for kids’ emotional health daily.
C．Holidays for children’s physical health.
D．Paths to mental practice.
29．What benefit do repeated gratitude moments bring children?
A．Building neural pathways to focus on stress.
B．Recognizing stress easily.
C．Staying positive in different situations.
D．Noticing small good things.
30．How does gratitude work best for younger kids?
A．By being long and formal.
B．By being shared mainly at bedtime.
C．By being taught in special classes.
D．By being fun, simple and regular.
31．What’s the best title for the text?
A．Gratitude: Teaching Kids the Skill
B．Gratitude: Daily Practice for Kids’ Health
C．Holiday Gratitude: Why It Matters Much
D．Gratitude: A Family’s Daily Story
D
The ocean may appear boundless. It’s easy to imagine that fish and other ocean creatures swim freely without
restriction. That assumption, however, is mistaken. According to ecologist Karissa Lear, many ocean species stick to
specific habitats and seldom go beyond them. This habit can cause unexpectedly big problems, especially when
human-built structures get in the way.
Take, for example, the green sawfish living near the mouth of the Ashburton River in Western Australia. In
2017, a large structure was built by the shore, stretching about 550 yards into the sea. As Lear had feared, the
construction did harm the critically endangered green sawfish — they were unable to pass around the barrier. To
Lear, this discovery supported a surprising new idea that ocean animals, much like land species, need a helping hand
getting around human-built structures.
On land, wildlife crossings are becoming more common. Green bridges, for instance, help bears and elk avoid
a road in Canada’s Banff National Park. In 2022, a wildlife crossing in Washington State was used more than 5,000
times by animals such as deer and coyotes. Although the bridges are already popular on land, Lear says little
attention has been paid to the idea of wildlife crossings designed to help ocean animals get around safely.
For ocean animals, too many barriers can cut them off from important feeding sites. Overly limited movement
can lead to the development of isolated groups that are more likely to go extinct. With more large structures planned
for the Ashburton River area, Lear says the cumulative (累积的) effect of multiple barriers is a real concern for the
green sawfish’s future.
As the climate continues to change, paying attention to the needs of ocean animals is important. Many are
moving farther north, and they need suitable habitats to move through. To address this, we can create crossings
through human-built structures or protect habitats along their migration routes. As we continue to engineer the
ocean, such efforts could go a long way toward protecting ocean life.
32．How does the author present the issue in the first paragraph?
A．By detailing research findings.
B．By describing a natural scene.
C．By addressing public concerns.
D．By challenging a common belief.
33．What effect did the structure near the Ashburton River have?
A．It provided a new habitat for ocean life.
B．It blocked the path of the green sawfish.
C．It attracted more new species to the area.
D．It drove the green sawfish into deep waters.
34．What does Lear imply about wildlife crossings?
A．They have reduced road accidents on land.
B．They will replace ocean barriers eventually.
C．They have destroyed land animals’ habitats.
D．They are urgently needed for ocean animals.
35．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Wildlife Crossings: From Land to Sea
B．When Ocean Life Is in Danger
C．The Sawfish That Lost Their Way HomeD．Ocean Structures: No Harm Done

阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In the fast-paced world of 2026, many people find themselves feeling stressed, tired, or disconnected from
their own well-being. The good news is that small, science-backed changes to your daily routine can make a big
difference in how you feel. 36 These simple daily practices don’t require much time or money, but they
can help boost your mood and improve your overall quality of life.
One of the most effective ways to feel better is to prioritize daily movement. It’s not about doing intense
workouts, but about staying active in a way that works for you. 37 Simply walking, stretching, or dancing
to your favorite music can release endorphins (内啡肽), which help reduce stress and lift your mood.
38 The key practice is getting enough quality sleep. Many people underestimate the importance of
sleep, but it’s essential for both physical and mental health. Avoiding screens an hour before bed and creating a calm
bedtime routine can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly.
Connecting with others is crucial for emotional well-being as well. 39 In an era of constant digital
communication, face-to-face interactions can feel rare, but they’re vital for building meaningful relationships.
Spending time with others can reduce feelings of loneliness and increase feelings of happiness.
Finally, don’t forget to take time for yourself. In a world that often values busyness, it’s important to carve out
moments of relaxation. This could be reading a book or practicing meditation and enjoying the present moment.
40
A．You don’t have to push yourself too hard.
B．Taking deep breaths can help calm your mind.
C．Beyond physical activity, good mental rest also matters.
D．Spending time in nature is also a great way to reduce stress.
E．They can bring great benefits to your mental and physical health.
F．Yet nothing can compare with the comfort of in-person connections.
G．Taking care of your own needs isn’t selfish-it’s essential for well-being.

When I started my own technology writing business, it began well — I landed my first contract, though I
wondered if it was too good to be true. Unfortunately, the third month’s check never arrived, and I never heard from
the 41 again, despite multiple emails. With no 42 in sight, I hit rock bottom. Panic 43
optimism. I stopped answering phones and 44 myself in my room.
One night, a high school friend called. Though the 45 thing I wanted to do was admit my failure, I
answered in the hope of a 46 voice. I listed my problems, but she quickly shut down my self-pity. I was
too stunned (惊讶的) to return her fire, so I just 47 .
“What is wrong with you? You are a writer, so start writing for magazines,” she shouted. When I mentioned I
was 48 about what to write, or even where to submit, she snapped, “ 49 the problem! You
always got us out of trouble back then — now do the same for yourself.” The memory had 50 my mind,
but she was right about it.
Still, I was somewhat 51 and thought for a minute about crossing her off my list. I thought, what is
wrong with her? That’s the 52 I get for all the support I’ve given her over the years?
With nowhere else to turn, I searched online for magazines accepting 53 by email. I found one,
wrote an article and sent it off — mostly to prove my friend wrong. To my surprise, the editor accepted it — and it
made the 54 !
That small win changed something in me. If not for her 55 love, I might not have learned life’s
important lesson: What was wrong with me was me.

After leaving her career in Paris, Yang Yuxiao returned to her hometown in Zhejiang, breathing new life into
the ancient art of Linhai paper cutting.
In France, Yang often felt 56 sense of wandering in a foreign land. She deeply missed the warmth
of home and her family, 57 eventually led her to make a life-changing decision in 2016. She returned to
Linhai and took 58 the Zhang Xiujuan Paper-Cutting Museum, founded by her mother.
As part of Zhejiang’s intangible cultural heritage, Linhai paper cutting requires both preservation and
innovation. Yang tackled the challenge 59 (pose) by traditional paper’s tendency to be affected by
humidity ( 潮湿) and fading. Through continuous experimentation, she explored new materials such as silk and
cashmere cotton, ultimately 60 (secure) 13 national patents for her innovative approaches.
Ever since then, Yang 61 (integrate) traditional techniques with modern applications 62
(creative), designing patterns for contemporary items. She intends to weave functionality into the art form, making it
relevant to modern lifestyles. Beyond product innovation, Yang places a strong 63 (emphasize) on
educational initiatives. She has organized over 150 training sessions for villagers, 64 regularly offers
livestreamed classes to international audiences, having taught participants from numerous countries.
Looking ahead, Yang 65 (commit) to transforming Linhai paper cutting from a traditional
decorative art into a dynamic element of youth culture.

My husband’s company promoted him and relocated us to New York City. Our first order of business was to
find a safe, affordable place to live. I refused to live in a crowded part of the city, so we compromised ( 妥协) and
agreed to move to Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, which was a quiet residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of New
York.
I loved our sixth-floor apartment. It was quiet and close to the subway, making life in the city convenient.
Soon after settling in, I found a job as an administrative assistant at a famous advertising agency. I had studied
English education and dreamed of being a teacher, but I took the job for its good pay.
The work was boring and tiring. I typed letters, answered phones, organized meetings and arranged travel
every day. I just watched the clock, waiting for breaks and the end of work. Many documents on my desk had clear
grammar and spelling mistakes, but I never corrected them. I thought it was not my duty and I only needed to do
what I was paid to do. I felt my job was tiny and meaningless.
One day, I complained (抱怨) about my job to my grandma. She was a wise and brave woman who had joined
a women’s rights march and believed in fighting for what was right. She listened quietly, then said gently, “Honey,
don’t just do enough to get by. Always do your best. Whatever you do, put your whole heart into it.”
She told me to correct the mistakes if I noticed them and to show my real ability. Her words hit me deeply. I
decided to change myself completely. From that day on, I took every task seriously and tried my best to do it
perfectly.
My co-workers and boss soon noticed my hard work and my good English skills. They praised me and
planned to offer me a better position. Just then, a high school English teaching position opened up. It was exactly
what I had been dreaming of.
注意：（1）词数应为150 个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Without a second thought, I applied for the teaching position.
