二、阅读理解
To truly help our planet, we need to connect with it. And the good news is you don’t have to be a qualified expert to support the cause. Here are some of the many incredible projects looking for volunteers.
The Great UK WaterBlitz
This twice-a-year campaign from the FreshWater Wash aims to assess water quality across the UK. The next one runs from 25 — 28 April 2025, and asks volunteers to record the water quality in local freshwater sources. To help in the upcoming campaign, simply register your interest at earthwatch.org.uk/greatukwaterblitz to receive more information, along with your own water testing kit.
Nature’s Calendar
This initiative by the Woodland Trust looks to track seasonal shifts and patterns, to see how climate change is affecting our ecosystems. The easy, three-step process requires you to pick a species and behaviour, decide the area you’re recording, and make a note on the online system of the dates of these actions. Get involved by visiting the woodlandtrust.org.uk.
Big Butterfly Count
Scheduled between 18 July and 10 August in 2025, involvement in this project run by Butterfly Conservation is more important than ever, as the 2024 results indicate a significant drop of these beautiful biodiversity indicators. Participants are asked to spend 15 minutes every day recording butterflies they see, either via their website tracker or app. Head to bigbutterflycount.butterfly-conservation.org to join in.
The Big Garden Birdwatch
Organised by RSPB, the world’s largest garden wildlife survey runs in January each year, and asks volunteers to sign up to simply watch their gardens for an hour each day, recording the birds they see. In 2024, more than 600,000 people participated in the UK, and recorded an incredible 9.7 million birds. Visit rspb.org.uk for more details.

When I first moved into a traditional hutong in Beijing, the narrow alleyways felt like a maze (迷宫). My tiny room was part of a siheyuan shared with three Chinese families. Back home in London, I lived in a quiet suburban house with a private garden. Here, I could hear neighbors chatting through paper-thin walls, and the smell of stir-fried vegetables often drifted into my room. It was overwhelming yet strangely alive.
The biggest shock came the next morning. I stepped outside to find a communal tap where residents brushed teeth and washed vegetables side by side. An elderly man in pajamas nodded at me while spitting into the drain — a common practice here but shocking to Western eyes. Later, when I tried to throw trash into a bin, Mrs. Li from next door rushed over, sorting my waste into four colorful categories with a patient smile. “Recycling matters,” she said, though I understood little Chinese.
Gradually, the hutong revealed its magic. Children played hopscotch (跳房子游戏) on stone paths, and shopkeepers knew everyone’s name. One rainy day, my roof leaked. Before I could call for help, one of my neighbors climbed up with a ladder and fixed it himself. That evening, he invited me for jiaozi. As we dipped them in vinegar, I realized privacy in the West meant isolation; here, “noisy closeness” meant belonging.
Now, when I bike past the morning crowds buying baozi or see neighbors playing chess under tree shades, I feel at home. The hutong taught me that culture shock is just the first step to discovering a new way of living — one where community wraps around you like a warm quilt.
24．What surprised the author most on the first morning
A．The complex layout of the hutong. B．The queuing up habit of neighbors.
C．The smell of cooking in the air. D．The shared use of a water tap.
25．Why did Mrs. Li help the author with the trash
A．To help him adapt to local customs. B．To market colorful trash bins.
C．To promote garbage classification. D．To keep the public area clean.
26．What does “noisy closeness” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Terrible living environment. B．Active community interactions.
C．Respect for foreign culture. D．Loud arguments between neighbors.
27．What does the writer think of the present life in Beijing
A．Satisfying. B．Overwhelming. C．Disappointing. D．Astonishing.
Labubu dolls are hard to find. Even at the giant flagship store of their maker, Pop Mart, in Shanghai, customers are told they need to wait a week or longer. The lovely creatures, sold in “blind boxes” so that buyers don’t know which one they will get, are loved not only by Chinese children but also by famous people at home and abroad.
For many years, Chinese shoppers liked to follow foreign trends in fashion, make-up, hotels and other areas. But now, they are turning to local luxury brands (奢侈品品牌), high-end make-up labels and milk tea shops. Furthermore, many of these brands are winning fans in other countries. Chinese brands are beginning to penetrate international markets with their unique products.
As consumers have become more careful about spending, cheap but good-quality local brands have grown popular. But lower prices are not the only reason for the love of Chinese brands. In many cases shoppers are paying the same or even more for local products. For instance, the best-selling drinks at Chagee, a tea chain (连锁) that went public in New York in April, are tea lattes (拿铁) that sell for 15-20 yuan ($2-3), almost the same as Starbucks’s top drinks in China.
Chinese consumers are also now far less crazy about foreign goods simply because they are foreign. The rapid rise of Laopu proves that. Instead of copying Western style, both Laopu and Chagee have shown off their Chineseness. It has worked. The competition is not limited to China. Pop Mart now has stores in more than 20 countries, including at least 37 in America. Chagee will have more than 1,300 shops outside China by the end of the year, up from almost none four years ago.
Experts believe that the more foreign recognition these brands get, the more popular they become within China. The popularity on Western social media over Labubu dolls is thought to have made them even more famous at home.

It can be fun to hear a catchy tune (曲调) in your head — until that tune begins to play over and over again! Songs that get stuck in our brain are called earworms. An earworm can stay in your head after you listen to the tune play out loud. But it can also occur if something makes you remember the song — like visiting the place where you first heard it.
Scientists have studied earworms for years. They have found that some tunes are more likely to stay in your head than others. For example, earworms are often faster, have an easy-to-remember melody (旋律), and have special changes in pitch (音高).
By examining brain scans, scientists have learned what happens in your head when you have an earworm. When you hear music—or even imagine hearing it—part of the brain called the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) becomes active. This part processes sounds and sends messages to other parts of the brain connected to memory and feelings. Some scientists think your brain can keep sending these signals for a short time, which causes the song to repeat in your mind.
What would cause the human brain to repeat the same song in the first place Scientists are still not sure. But long ago, before writing was invented, we passed information through songs. So, we may have developed a habit of keeping music in our heads to help remember important information.
Whatever the reason, when a tune gets stuck, it can be really annoying! Luckily, there may be ways to get rid of an earworm. You can listen to another song or do a puzzle to stop yourself from concentrating on it. Or try chewing gum, which affects how your brain remembers music. Even if you do nothing, a stuck song will eventually go away on its own. Now, that must be music to your ears!
32．What is an “earworm” according to the text
A．A real insect that lives in human ears.
B．A tool scientists use to study memory.
C．A type of brain disease affecting the auditory cortex.
D．A song that repeats uncontrollably in one’s mind.
33．What feature makes a tune more likely become an earworm
A．It is slow and quiet. B．It is fast with catchy tunes.
C．It has no melody. D．It is very long.
34．According to the text, how can we free ourselves from an earworm
A．By listening to the same song repeatedly.
B．By keeping away from all kinds of music.
C．By doing activities that take our attention away.
D．By visiting the place where we first heard it.
35．What is your understanding of the last sentence
A．It’s good news. B．It’s hard to believe.
C．It’s an alarming fact. D．It’s an annoying message.
Learning with Short Videos: Tips for Students
Short videos are not just for fun — they can be great tools for learning. Many students use them to study English, science, or even history. But how can you make sure you learn well from them Here are some simple tips.Choose the right videos
Not all short videos are good for learning. Look for ones made by teachers or educational channels. 36 For example, if you’re learning grammar, choose a video that explains just one rule at a time.Watch with a goal
Before you press “play”, ask yourself: “What do I want to learn from this ” Maybe it’s a new English word or a math formula. 37 This helps you stay focused, not just watch passively.Don’t watch too many at once
It’s easy to keep scrolling to the next video, but your brain needs time to take in the information. Watch 1-2 videos, then stop for a while. 38 You can also write down key points or explain what you learned to a friend.Use subtitles (字幕)
Most learning videos have subtitles. Turn them on, especially for English videos. 39 You can read along and learn how words are spelled and used in sentences.Practice what you learn
Watching is just the first step. To really learn, you need to practice. If a video teaches a new dance move, try it yourself. 40 This way, you’ll remember better and make the learning stick.
A．They should be clear and not too fast.
B．Keep this question in your mind while watching.
C．Some videos can help you relax after a long day.
D．This helps you take in the knowledge more deeply.
E．You can also use them to check your pronunciation.
F．This makes it easier to follow, even if the speaker talks fast.
G．If it’s a science experiment, try to do a simple version at home.

“Surprise!” The moment I opened the door, this cheerful shout filled my ears. My family and friends were all smiling at me. There were colorful balloons all over the house, a big poster saying “HAPPY BIRTHDAY”, and a cake with 18 candles. It was a wonderful feeling. I knew that I had finally turned eighteen, the legal age to become an adult. My parents had been planning this party for weeks, and it was perfect.
I was enjoying the party laughing heartily and chatting with everyone when I noticed my dad go into another room. Minutes later, he reappeared, holding a small box. He handed it to me and said, “Son, I’ve got a truly special gift for you. It’s something I’ve treasured for ages, and now, I believe, is the perfect moment to pass it on.” Curiously, I wondered what could possibly be inside. I carefully opened the box and discovered an old, well-worn diary. Initially, I could barely hide my disappointment. I had secretly hoped for something more thrilling, perhaps a brand-new phone or a laptop. However, as I began looking through the pages, my interest gradually increased.
The diary was filled with stories about my dad’s high school days, his friends, his dreams, and the challenges he faced. There were entries about his difficulties in studies, arguments with his parents. I could see myself in many of his stories. It was amazing to realize that my dad had gone through similar things when he was at my age.
As I read, one entry caught my attention. It was about a time when my dad was in his senior year. He had been offered a chance to go on a trip to another country with his classmates. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he was worried about the cost. His parents couldn’t afford it, and he didn’t want to ask for too much money. He was really stuck in a dilemma.

【原文】W: Hello, everyone! I’m glad to be here to share my opinion about studying English. I’m in my first year in university. Many of you said that listening in English is difficult. Well, it is true for me as well. I remember when I was learning English, I could understand when my teacher was talking to me, but actually, I couldn’t understand some of the news reporters when I listened to the news. But now my listening has improved a lot. Here are some ideas that may help you improve your listening in English. First of all, don’t worry if you don’t understand every word you hear. That’s impossible! You should concentrate only on the most important words. Secondly, try to get extra listening practice outside the classroom. For example, you can go to the student center and practice listening with their CDs. You should also listen to the radio in English and watch English movies. Next, it’s a good idea to listen to presentations from the Internet. And it’s easy to download presentations to your computer. Finally, it’s a good idea to listen to pop songs while you read the words at the same time. There are lots of Internet sites that give you the words of the most popular songs. That’s all from me, and I hope this will help.

66．One possible version:
Dear Leo,
How is everything going I can’t wait to share that my parents and I explored my dream university — Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) during the summer vacation.
The campus was so vast that we took a campus sightseeing bus to have a general view of it. At lunchtime, we had our meal in a student cafeteria, which impressed me with its diverse range of dishes. The highlight must be the aerospace museum, where various rocket models, return capsules and astronaut training suits were on display, showcasing the nation’s space exploration journey.
This trip not only satisfies my curiosity about aerospace but also strengthens my resolve to study here one day. How about your summer Hope to hear from you!
Yours,
Li Hua
67．I was intensely curious to know whether he made the trip at last. He smiled and said, “Well, son, I decided to take on a part-time job. I worked at a local grocery store after school and on weekends. It wasn’t easy, and there were times when I was really tired, but I was determined. After months of hard work, I managed to save enough money for the trip. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I began to realize that money does not come easily.” I listened attentively, imagining my dad in that situation. His words made me see him in a new light.
It was inspiring to hear he was able to solve the problem on his own. I realized that even though life is full of challenges, there are always ways to overcome them. Just like my dad, I should work hard to achieve my own dream. From that moment on, I decided to face difficulties actively. Whether it’s in my studies or future plans, I won’t quit easily. The diary, which I initially thought was a disappointing gift, turned out to be the most precious one. It connected me with my dad’s past and taught me lessons that would stay with me forever as I stepped into adulthood.
