What’s best to read this year
Secrets I Know (Random House Children’s Books, ages 3-7)
This tale written by Kallie George and pictured by Paola Zakimi follows a young girl and her little friend as they move from rain to sunshine, from pleasant loneliness to sweet friendship, and finally from adventures on earth to an exploration of the sky above. The colors of Zakimi’s pencildrawings are calming and George’s poetic text tells her story with simple language.
Pandora (Clarion Books, ages 3-7)
The award-winning author Victoria Turnbull tells the story of a little fox Pandora. Pandora lives alone. She makes herself a handsome home, but no one ever comes to visit. Then one day something falls from the sky -- a bird with a broken wing. Little by little, the bird helps Pandora feel less lonely. Turnbull’s watercolor and colored pencil drawings make this story of friendship and growth an atmospheric delight.
Prince and Pirate (G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Younger Readers, ages 5-8)
A different kind of friendship is described in this book, by Charlotte Gunnufson with pictures by Mike Lowery. Prince and Pirate are a pair of mismatched fish put into the same aquarium(水族馆). At first it seems that they’ll never learn to be friends. It’s only when both take pity on a frightened dogfish that they learn the benefits of cooperation, and soon all three fish become good friends.
The Giant Jumperee (Dinal Books, ages 3-5)
The story was written by the award-winning British author Julia Donaldson. When Rabbit hears a loud voice bellowing(吼叫)threateningly from inside a cave, he gathers Cat, Bear and Elephant to help him decide what to do. But it’s Mama Frog who fearlessly confronts(面对)the unknown creature. Helen Oxenbury’s soft watercolors creat a beautiful countryside and her characterizations of the animals are impressive.

This summer my mom and I did something meaningful and interesting.
Because of the stresses of high school, I felt depressed from time to time. What was worse, I began to eat many junk foods. As a result, I had gained a lot of weight.
My mom decided to take me to work out, and she cooked delicious and healthy snacks for me. However, I broke my word and bought high-calorie snacks. My mom found my snack wrappers in the garbage. She got really angry and told me something I will remember forever. She said, “My dear, I can forget the fact that you cheated, but you shouldn’t. Remember it’s not all about losing weight but about your whole life. If you want to achieve something, take it seriously, and persist (坚持) no matter what happens.”
Since then, we have been out running each morning, and we do some yoga in the evening. We sing and laugh while running along the empty roads. Day by day, I am feeling better. Exercise is helping to strengthen my body and refresh my spirits. At the same time, my mom and I cook different dishes together. Isn’t it amazing that I’m making such tasty-looking foods myself Cooking brings great joy to me.

A recent survey in the US found that young people visit libraries more often than their parents or grandparents. The young love libraries because they are secure, comfortable, free and — as my 11-year-old would say — “aesthetic”. This means they look good in the background of an Instagram post or TikTok video. Libraries are also a great place to meet people. If you’re both young and in a library, chances are that you have similar interests.
And then, too, there are the books. Young people are turning out to be big readers of paper books. Even though they have smartphones, the most limitlessly distracting devices ever invented, in their pockets, many are deliberately choosing to pick up a piece of 15th_century technology instead. They like the fact that books are self-contained and require concentration.
There is, sometimes, a sense of nostalgic (怀旧的) cosplay in the way young people read. In New York, for example, the latest TikTok-fueled craze is reading with strangers in bars. You have to buy a ticket in advance, and then you all gather and sit in silence for 30 minutes, reading whatever book you’ve brought along. Like an expensive version of going to the library, except that afterwards you all have a drink and talk about books.
The very thought of it makes me suffer, but that’s because I’m a child of the 1970s and 1980s. To me, reading is a private pleasure, while screens — TV or cinema — are social. I did once, in a fit of ambitious parenting, introduce a “family reading hour”, during which my husband and children were pressed to join me at the fireside for some silent reading. It could not have felt more performative if we had dressed up in top hats and crinolines (旧时的裙衬). But still, I applaud these young readers — for knowing what is good for them, for seeking out human connection, for finding the beauty and pleasure in old institutions, and for bringing new life to the library.
28. What does the underlined word “aesthetic” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Visually appealing. B. Similarly private.
C. Spiritually relaxing. D. Economically practical.
29. Why do many young people choose to read paper books despite having smartphones
A. Paper books are cheaper than smartphones.
B. Paper books are easier to carry around.
C. Paper books are a form of nostalgic entertainment.
D. Paper books offer a distraction-free reading experience.
30. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The popularity of TikTok in New York.
B. A gathering attended by strangers free of charge.
C. A new reading trend integrating the old and new.
D. Historical costumes and their appeal to young readers.
31. Why does the author mention a “family reading hour” in paragraph 4
A. To highlight her success in parenting the children.
B. To illustrate her attempt to combine personal and joint reading habits.
C. To criticize the lack of interest in performance among family members.
D. To emphasize the importance of dressing formally during family activities.
D
Last month, a study was published that examined climate change’s direct effects on the Earth’s seasons. Scientists found a connection between climate change and the temperature and duration of the summer season. Summers in the Northern hemisphere(北半球) could last nearly six months by the year 2100 if global warming continues, according to the study. With the seasons off-balance, there will be harmful effects on human health and agriculture.
Yuping Guan, a physical oceanographer at the State Key Laboratory of Tropical Oceanography at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his colleagues combined daily climate data from 1952 to 2011 to get a sense of the start and end of each season in the Northern hemisphere. Over the nearly 60-year period, they discovered that, on average, summers grew from 78 to 95 days, while winters shortened from 76 to 73 days. The spring and autumn seasons also shortened. Guan and his team used the findings from the data to create a model to hypothesize (假设) about how the seasons would possibly change in the future. They found that if left untouched, summers in the Northern hemisphere could last nearly six months, while winters could contract to less than two months.
If the Earth’s seasons continue to shift, it will bring negative effects to human health and agriculture. Longer and hotter summers, for example, can cause mosquitoes and other disease-carrying insects to potentially expand their scope and land in places where they’re usually not found. “Because seasons influence the life cycles of plants and animals, climate change could disturb species’ ability to adapt,” said Scott Sheridan, a climate scientist. “If seasons continue to change, everything isn’t going to change perfectly as they should. If we take the example of flowers coming out of the ground, those flowers could come out, but bees aren’t there to pollinate them yet or they’re already past their peak.” With negative effects like these, human health and agriculture will face hardship while moving forward.
This study further demonstrates how cruel climate change is to humans, plants and animals, reminding us how much we are all connected with the environment we share.
32. What did scientists find according to the study
A. Some seasons will disappear in their tracks.
B. Global warming will be at its worst in 2100.
C. Climate change affects the days of summers.
D. Human health remains unharmed by climate change.
33. What does the underlined word "contract" in the second paragraph mean
A. Add. B. Extend. C. Keep. D. Shorten.
34. What can we infer about the effects of longer and hotter summers
A. Mosquitoes can survive in more places.
B. The environment will change as we wish.
C. Human health and agriculture are hardly affected.
D. Some species are more able to adapt to the change.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Is the Earth getting warmer
B. Is climate change bringing hardship
C. Is mankind to blame for longer summers
D. Is summer taking over from all other seasons
第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
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。
Artificial Intelligence (AI) geolocation (互联网定位技术) solutions are changing the way researchers track and monitor wildlife, enabling more powerful conservation efforts. These systems use advanced sensors, satellite imagery, and machine learning algorithms (算法) to gather real-time data on animal movements, habitat preferences, and migration patterns. 36
Traditional tracking methods often rely on non-automatic tracking or inconvenient necklace-like systems, which may cause stress and discomfort to the animals. 37 The devices can work as tags and the camera traps can be set up remotely, which decreases human impact on wildlife.
In addition, AI-powered devices collect and analyze data precisely. Through their assistance, scientists can gain insights into habitat choices and evaluate the effect of global warming on wild animal locations. 38 For example, by analyzing the collected data, conservationists can promote targeted habitat restoration efforts according to the patterns and connections they discovered with the help of AI geolocation devices.
39 By monitoring animals’ behavioral changes in real-time, researchers can quickly detect signs of environmental issues. Sudden changes in an animal’s movements could indicate threats or problems. Researchers can then respond immediately, potentially saving the animal’s life.
Sharing geolocation data through online platforms can also help raise awareness about protecting endangered species. 40 This help them feel more connected to the issues wildlife face in habitats. The bond promotes a sense of responsibility among individuals and encourages them to contribute to wildlife conservation efforts through various means, such as donations, volunteer work, and so on.
This knowledge enables them to make accurate and efficient decisions.
However, AI tracking does not require disturbing contact with the animals.
C. AI monitoring needs fewer battery replacements than the traditional methods.
D. The solutions have offered the following key benefits to wildlife conservation.
E. Directly engaging with conservation efforts gives people a first-hand experience.
F. The AI geolocation technology significantly reduces the need for massive fieldwork.
G. With real-time data, the AI solutions also function as an early warning for wildlife risks.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The vocabulary of tea tasting can seem abstract to the point of poetry. When ____56____ (experience) tea lovers comment on a cup of tea, they might comment on its qi and yun. In a 2021 paper, Zhang Jinghong notes that in Chinese culture, food and drink are not judged only by taste or smell. When ____57____ (refer) to the ancient saying, “Medicine and food have the same origin”, she says that the impact of food and drink on the body ____58____ (remain) an important factor in how Chinese perceive taste and quality. Just to name one example, common food descriptors like “hot” and “cold” do not describe specific temperatures, ____59____ how a dish is perceived to affect a person’s inner temperature.
Keeping that ____60____ mind, what exactly do tea lovers mean when they talk about qi and yun Deng Shihai, an early expert on Pu’er tea, praised its “flavorless flavor” as the highest level Pu’er can attain. If that sounds needlessly contradictory, you’ re not alone, but to Deng, it was a way to distinguish beginners at tea, ____61____ focus on taste, from experts who see tea more ____62____ (professional).
Qi and yun are thought to be more advanced than any simple description of taste, in part because they imply an indescribable sense of connection between people and things, and even to the ____63____ (broad) natural world. As Zhang notes,“ Qi and yun ____64____ (consider) to more accurately and thoroughly express what people feel when they are touched by things, and to better reflect the ____65____ (unite) of people and things, and people and nature.”

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Isla and I were studying in the same school. We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼).
For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses—even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her.
Our school had a tradition—there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night.
Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me.
I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show ” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her.
Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps.

Will traditional classes be replaced by AI classes
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, AI classes have become a popular topic of discussion. AI classes have several advantages. First, they provide personalized learning experiences by adjusting the pace and difficulty level according to each student's needs. This individualized approach can help students learn more effectively. Moreover, AI classes are accessible anytime and anywhere, making education more flexible and convenient.
However, AI classes also have some drawbacks. One major disadvantage is the lack of human interaction. Traditional classes allow students to communicate face-to-face with teachers and classmates, fostering a supportive learning environment. In contrast, AI classes may make students feel isolated, as they lack personal connection and motivation from real teachers.
In my opinion, while AI classes offer exciting possibilities, they cannot completely replace traditional classes. A balance between AI and traditional classes would combine the benefits of both, providing students with a more comprehensive learning experience.
第二节
Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. I didn’t want to be regarded as different from the others. Isla walked to me and hugged me tightly. “Come on, Emily!” Isla encouraged me. “I believe you will do great because you are a wonderful dancer. Don’t care too much about what others think. Just trust yourself.” Soon, I took my place on the stage. I remembered every step and every move. When the music was over, the crowd burst into cheers. At that moment, I felt like a dancing queen!
I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. I was a little worried at the beginning because the crowd became restless. Luckily, Isla ignored it. I stood up, shouting, “Isla, you are the best!” Her homemade dress was shining in the light, but her eyes were clouded with tears. When Isla’s singing died down, all the students were still lost in her unique voice. Some even began singing like her, and then more. Their singing resounded around the hall. I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her cheerfully. That was enough! We could never be distanced.
