The Wonderful Wisdom of Ants
Philip Bunting
Think you know ants Think again. Good humor and surpassing facts are the name of the game here. Though seemingly simple, the more of this book you read, the more you come to realize how little you may actually know about these tiny workers. This book is full of true fun that’ll generate a newfound respect for our hardworking neighbors. Give it to kids who know next to nothing about ants-it may just convert them.

My Thoughts Have Wings
Maggie Smith, illustrated by Leanne Hatch
It can be easy to forget that little kids have big thoughts, strong emotions and unbound imaginations spinning through their brains. And that constant activity doesn't always stop when it's time for bed. Poet Maggie Smith understands this and weaves a forting tale designed to ease and settle busy, anxious minds. She encourages children to build a “cozy nest” for their happy thoughts, while letting their worries fly away. A lovely conversation starter for kids and caregivers.

(话题: 选择性必修一 U1 Relationships)
In fifth grade, my family moved across town. I tried to fit in, but I wore my vulnerability (脆弱) like a new pair of white shoes.
Teresa often played tricks on me. Once on the playground, she suddenly hit me and then fell to the ground pretending to be hurt. Kids standing nearby laughed. Mary Lou appeared, took me to the girls' bathroom to deal with the injury, and told me not to let Teresa tease me anymore. I went back and argued with Teresa until we were separated by the teacher. Then we were punished to sit on the Mistake Bench. For Teresa, it seemed nothing had happened. She kept talking to me, but I refused to respond until she mentioned every Tuesday after school her mom would take her to the city library. I began to envy her, but didn't want her to know how much, so I continued to ignore her.
That weekend, all the fifth-grade girls were invited to a pajama (睡衣) party. The night progressed happily until someone suggested telling ghost stories. I hated them, but there didn't seem to be any way out of the situation. Suddenly, Mary Lou started crying, “I'm scared. I want to go home.” She had read my mind, but she had the courage to say it. Mary called her parents and asked me to pack up with her. Then a small voice whispered, “I want to leave with you”. As we dragged our things out, we saw Teresa. The three of us waited on the front porch for Mary Lou's dad. I was never so grateful to see headlights.
When getting off, Teresa asked whether we could go to the library with her. I hesitated, Mary said she couldn't but encouraged me to go. Teresa's words sounded sincere, despite our previous story. From then on, Teresa and I shared many trips to the library on Tuesday.
Mary Lou was, and still is, my heroine. Had it not been for her, I might not have had the opportunity or the courage to accept Teresa's invitation to the city library every Tuesday, which fueled my affection for books in a dramatic way.
24. Which of the following words can best describe Mary Lou
A. Outgoing and confident. B. Brave and understanding.
C. Generous and creative. D. Energetic and ambitious
25. What's Teresa's reaction to the teacher's punishment

C. She felt rather ashamed. D. She apologized seriously.
26. What can be inferred from paragraph 3

B. I had enough courage to speak out my fear.
C. All the fifth-grades were invited to the party.
D. Three girls bonded their hearts together that night.

(话题: 选择性必修一 U3 Conservation)
New research indicates that 610 bird species have died out over the past 130,000 years. For instance, the
Kaua'i ‘ō’ō, a Hawaiian songbird, was declared extinct last year. The study, led by Tom Matthews from the University of Birmingham and published in Science, emphasizes an “ongoing biodiversity crisis” that demands immediate attention.
Birds play crucial roles in ecosystems, which include spreading seeds, eating insects, or reusing dead material. Vultures, for example, eat the flesh of dead animals. Matthews said a good example of the importance of birds is “on the islands of Mauritius and Hawaii, where all or almost all the native birds that eat fruit have gone extinct. "The extinction of fruit-eating birds in Mauritius and Hawaii has led to a decline in seed dispersal, threatening many tree species.
Most documented extinctions have occurred on islands. Loss of habitat has a significant impact due to limited space. Flightless island birds(meaning they cannot fly away to escape natural enemies), like the large “elephant birds” of Madagascar and the moa birds of New Zealand, were particularly vulnerable to predators(掠食者) and human hunting, leading to their disappearance after human arrival. Human hunting was a major cause in the past and remains a problem in some areas, especially the songbird trade in Southeast Asia. Diseases like avian malaria introduced by humans have also caused extinctions, and the impact of climate change on birds is still largely unknown.
The study warns that the actual number of extinct species could be underestimated. This is because of a lack of data from some areas and the fact that some lost species may not have left behind bones or other evidence. With only 11,000 bird species remaining, researchers prognosticate over 1,000 more could go extinct in the next two centuries. These losses would not only be a moral and ethical concern but also disrupt the environment's functionality. Human activities continue to pose significant threats to bird populations. Climate change's impact on birds remains largely unknown, adding to the urgency of conservation efforts.
28. Which of the following contributes to the extinction of birds on islands
A. The introduction of new species. B. The increase in predators.
C. The lack of food resources. D. The loss of habitat.
29. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Realize. B. Estimate. C. Admit. D. Suspect.
30. What is the author's attitude towards the current situation of bird extinction
A. Optimistic B. Indifferent C. Concerned D. Doubtful
31. What is the purpose of the text
A. To inform and advertise. B. To present and analyze.
C. To amuse and entertain. D. To compare and argue.

At least a quarter of people typically make at least one New Year's resolution(计划), and a large portion of those good intentions end in disappointment. Rationally speaking, January 1st should be no better than any other day to make a life change— so why put the needless pressure on ourselves to “upgrade” our lives at the opening of a new calendar
Recent psychological research, however, suggests that there are many good reasons to begin a new life on the first day of a new year. Psychologists have found that, rather than seeing our life as a continuum, we tend to craft a narrative, divided into separate “chapters” that mark the different stages of our life. People tend to think about life as if they' re characters in a book. “Any time you have a moment that feels like a division of time, your mind does a special thing where it creates a sense that you have a fresh start,” says Katy Milkman, a psychology professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. “You’ re turning the page, you have a clean start and it's a new beginning.”
It worked a treat. The students who had been encouraged to think of a “fresh start” were more likely to start a new gym habit, improve their sleep hygiene or spend less time on social media, compared to those who had not been primed to see the date as a significant division in the timeline. The New Year is an especially compelling starting point. “It is a big chapter break for most people,” says Milkman.
The way you frame your resolutions could make an important difference. We can often turn an avoidance goal into an approach goal to maximize our chances of success. Supposing you want to lose weight. “Instead of saying that I want to stop eating a candy bar every day, I might instead say that I want to start eating carrots each afternoon,” an expert says. Any journey worth pursuing will include a few bumps along the way—— but you can greatly increase your likelihood of reaching your goals through many ways.
32. What is the common problem with New Year's resolutions according to the text
A. People make too many resolutions. B. Many resolutions are a great burden.
C. Many resolutions end up being unfulfilled. D. People make resolutions only on January 1st.
33. How can you set your goal if you want to keep fit according to the passage
A. By beginning jogging. B. By giving up smoking.
C. By increasing screen time. D. By avoiding staying up late.
34. What will be talked about in the next part of the passage
A. The ways to increase chances of success. B. The approaches to achieving aims.
C. The means of framing resolutions. D. The methods for avoiding bumps.
35. Which is the best title for the text
A. New Year's Resolutions, a Sure Path to Success
B. New Year's Resolutions, a Key Timeline Division
C. New Year's Resolutions, a Page-turning Fresh Start
D. New Year's Resolutions, a Worthless Try to Improve

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。
We will all experience some traces of self-doubt, that is natural. But living with self-doubt can be very challenging. It limits potential and breaks morale (士气). 36
Self-compassion is the key.
We often doubt ourselves when we have the fear of losing, but that is a great mistake we make. Everyone will make mistakes at some point in their lives, but we have to grow from those mistakes and transform them into a lesson. 37 Begin your day with a positive attitude. Look at yourself in the mirror and say some positive words.
38
Remember the time when you achieved something outstanding Self-reflection is one of the best tools to kill self-doubt. It makes you remember that you once achieved something great, and it makes you believe that you can achieve that level of success again through concentrated efforts. Take a moment regularly to look back on your past glories and use them as stepping stones to push you forward, rather than allowing self-doubt to overshadow your potential and hold you back.
Always be in the company of supportive people.
“You are known by the company you keep”, is one of the best sayings to explain this strategy. We should be surrounded by people that support and love us, not people that constantly make us doubt ourselves. Being around negative people is very bad for our mental health. When you are in the company of good people, you will always be encouraged to be better. 39
Seek professional help if necessary.
Sometimes the situation can become too much to handle. This is the time when we should seek professional help. 40 But once handled properly, it won't bother you anymore. Talk about your feelings often, and let all the negative emotions out. This will make you feel a lot better. Love yourself more and your problems will start decreasing!
A. Reflect back on your past achievements.
B. Being surrounded by them invites low spirits.
C. Here are some tips for you to live with self-doubt.
D. Learn from mistakes and try your hardest to be better.
E. Self-doubt can become a constant drag if not taken care of.
F. They will help you recover from negative and stressful situations.
G. The following are some strategies you can employ to overcome self-doubt.

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。
In a small village, there lived a young girl named Lily who was known for her love of flowers. Her garden was a kaleidoscope of colors, filled with roses, tulips, and daffodils. But among all the flowers, there was one special rose bush with petals of the deepest red, a gift from her grandmother before she passed away. Lily believed that the petals of this rose held a magical power: each petal symbolizes the hope and passion for life.
One fateful summer, Lily was diagnosed with a rare illness. As her health worsened, so did the vibrant colors of her garden. The petals of the special rose began to fall one by one, mirroring her own physical decline. Each day, Lily would count the remaining petals, believing that when the last one fell, her time would come.
Her neighbor, an old artist named Mr. Thompson, noticed Lily's sadness and learned about the significance of the rose petals to the girl. He was a kind-hearted man, known for his failing to create the perfect painting—— his “masterpiece” that he had always dreamed of but never completed.
One stormy night, as the wind howled and the rain beat against the windows, Mr. Thompson made a decision. He would paint a replica of the last petal on the rose, so realistic that it would fool even the sharpest eye. He worked throughout the night, each stroke(一笔)a dance of determination and hope.
The next morning, the last petal on the rose was still there, clinging to the stem despite the storm. Lily, weak but curious, looked out the window and saw the petal for a long time, seemingly touched by the scene. It was then that she realized the power of hope and the love that others had for her.
Days passed, and Lily's condition began to improve. The doctor, who had initially predicted that she had a slim chance of survival, was amazed at her recovery. Lily knew it was Mr. Thompson's act of kindness that gave her the will to fight. She couldn't wait to thank him.
