In May, Zheng gave an open-air concert in Milan. She played the erhu. Her classmate, Ma Ruomeng, joined her on the pipa. About 100 people came to watch them.

In the mountainous areas of Guizhou Province, 1,500 middle school students have recently gotten special backpacks. These bags have solar panels (太阳能电池板) that store energy when children walk to school. The stored energy can power lamps at home for 5 hours, which is a great help for villages where the electricity is often cut off.
The project was started in March 2025 by a tech company and the local government. Each backpack costs 200 yuan. Twelve-year-old Li Mei is one of the users. Her family couldn’t afford an electricity machine before. “Now I can do my homework safely at night without worrying about the light going out,” she says. Since using the backpack, her grades have improved by 15%, especially in math and Chinese.
The design of the backpack is smart and practical. The solar panels only add 300 grams of weight, but they can store enough energy for daily use. Inside the backpack, there’s a light e-paper device (设备) that holds all the textbooks and notebooks, so students don’t need to carry heavy books anymore. The average weight of the schoolbag has dropped from 4.2 kg to 2.1 kg, making it much easier for students to carry.
By September 2025, over 50 more schools in Guizhou will join the project. Similar tests are also happening in Kenya and Peru, where the solar panels are made to work well in hot and sunny weather. “This isn’t just about having new technology,” says Dr. Zhang, the leader of the project. “It’s about making sure every child has the same chance to learn, no matter where they live.” As more kids get these backpacks, their nights are brighter, and their futures look more hopeful.
13．What’s special about the backpacks
A．Storing solar energy. B．Being much cheaper. C．Speeding up walking.
14．What could Li Mei do with the special backpack
A．She could afford a new electricity machine.
B．She could finish homework quickly and nicely.
C．She could study when there is no electricity.
15．How much does the schoolbag weigh now
A．4.2 kg. B．2.1 kg. C．300 grams.
16．What is the writer’s attitude to the project
A．Doubtful. B．Unclear. C．Supportive.

An old local street in Shanghai has been turned into a “cat street”. And it has attracted many locals and tourists to see different kinds of cat “paintings”.
The “cat street” is on Fangbang Middle Road, which connects the Yuyang Garden area and the Bund Finance Centre. From the traditional Chinese drama stage Xuanhutai at the western end to the eastern side near the Bund, the “cat street” is about 600 meters long.
These works are created by artist Tango and his team. Parts of the “paintings” of more than 30 pet cats are collected from public and cartoon cats. There are also the pets’ names and introductions alongside the “paintings”. “The street shows the care for the cats and the relationship between cats and people in the city,” Tango said.
Shi Er, a pet owner, was excited when she took her cat, named Tuanzi, and saw Tuanzi’s “painting”. “Tuanzi is not afraid of people. I want to let her see herself on the wall,” Shi said. “And it’s a great idea to ‘paint’ cats on the walls. It can attract people to look at the buildings.

I was 15 months old, a happy and carefree (无忧无虑的) kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my sightless and cloudy gray eye lived on with me.
Sometimes people asked me embarrassing questions. When kids played games, I was the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.
Yet my mum would say to me. “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying.
As a child, I thought Mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or knock into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.
In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say. “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”
My mum’s love gave me confidence. I had faced hardships, and learned not only to appreciate (感激) myself but to have deep compassion (同情) for others.
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mum gave me lives on.

An interesting finding has been discovered from psychological research: Introverts may manage the challenges of aging better. While extroverts have long been celebrated for their social butterfly abilities, it turns out that the introvert’s natural inclinations (倾向) may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges. The very qualities of introverts—preference for quieter environments, comfort with being alone, and deeper but fewer social connections—appear to match well with the natural development of the social world as they grow older.
The key lies in what is known as “positive disengagement”. Laura Carstensen. the founding director of Stanford’s Center of Longevity, suggests that as people grow older, they naturally become more selective (有选择的) about their social interactions. preferring quality over quantity (数量). The change that extroverts may feel uncomfortable with often comes more naturally to introverts.
Another interesting work by Helene Fung at the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that introverts experience less worry about the social changes accompanying aging. While extroverts may have trouble with the decreased energy for socializing. introverts often find that such changes match with pre-existing (已存在的) preferences.
Robert McCrae’s research at the National Institute on Aging supports this “introvert advantage”. His team’s findings show that introverts may deal with the big questions of aging better because they naturally think deeply about life. While extroverts might look for outside activities that can pull their attention away from aging-related worries, introverts’ natural inclinations to turn inward often result in better adjustment (调整) and acceptance of life’s changes.
The most convincing research comes from Klaus Rothermund, who studies how people manage emotions as they age. His work shows that introverts often develop better coping skills earlier in life. Such skills as the ability to think deeply about themselves and the ability to form one-on-one connections become increasingly valuable as they grow older. It’s as if introverts have been unknowingly practicing for their elder years all along.
The meanings of the findings go beyond just research interest. Understanding how different personality types deal with change becomes increasingly important as people age.
For extroverts reading this, don’t feel disappointed—awareness is half the job done, and many coping skills that come naturally to introverts can be learned and trained. And for introverts You might want to add this to your list of quiet victories. Your personality may have prepared you for a more beautiful journey into your later years.
Sometimes, it seems that the tortoise doesn’t just win the race. It may also enjoy the journey more.
33．What does the word “buffer” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean
A．Weakness. B．Warning. C．Monitor. D．Protector.
34．Which behavior probably matches Carstensen’s findings
A．Refusing to choose friends according to personality.
B．Spending less time alone to make time for social activities.
C．Staying away from relationships that are not worthwhile.
D．Joining in group discussions instead of thinking independently.
35．What can we learn about introverts and extroverts as they age
A．Introverts need to find ways to stop worrying about their age.
B．Extroverts can learn from introverts about ways to slow aging down.
C．Extroverts have the ability to deal with personal problems earlier in life.
D．Introverts’ qualities better suit the natural changes of the social world.
36．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Introverts: A More Popular Personality B．Introverts: Practice to Fight Against Aging
C．Introverts: Feel Better When Getting Older D．Introverts: Social Advantages Over Extroverts
The Spring Festival Gala is the most popular TV show during the Chinese New Year. Every year, it presents a variety of wonderful performances. This year, a dance program named “Joy on the Branches” became a real highlight.
As the curtain lifted slowly, the audience was instantly attracted by the magnificent (宏伟的) stage scene. It was as if they had been transported into a magnificent ancient Chinese painting. Right in the middle of the stage stood an huge prop pine branch (道具松树枝) that was 9.5 meters long and 4.5 meters high. It was said to be the largest prop ever used in the history of the Spring Festival Gala. The details of the pine branch were so vivid that it looked as if it had just been picked from a forest.
Then the dancers made their appearance. They were all dressed in costumes that included traditional Chinese colors, like flower blue, indigo, and moon white. Their movements were extremely graceful, flowing smoothly like a gentle stream. They didn’t rely on complex vertical (垂直的) movements. Instead, they mainly moved horizontally (平行地) across the stage, using their beautiful body language to show the charming expressions and lively postures of magpies (喜鹊), as if they had truly changed into these pleasant birds.
This program was actually inspired by a famous ancient Chinese painting. The creative team aimed to express the charm of classical art through modern dance. To achieve this, they mixed hanging curtains, projections, and floor screens to create an amazing visual (视觉的) effect, cleverly blurring (使模糊) the lines between 2D and 3D spaces. It gave the audience the scene that the magpies were seemingly “framed into the painting”, making the whole performance was full of artistic atmosphere.

D．To blur the lines between 2D and 3D spaces.
40．Which sentence best describes the visual effect created by the creative team
A．The dancers moved like magpies.
B．The magpies seemed to be “framed into the painting”.
C．The stage was like an ancient Chinese painting.

【导语】本文介绍了一项心理学研究发现：内向者可能比外向者更能从容应对老龄化的挑战，因为他们的性格特质（如偏好安静环境、享受独处、建立深度社交关系等）更契合伴随年龄增长的自然社会变化，这种“内向者优势”体现在情绪调节、社交选择和生活适应等方面。
33．词句猜测题。根据“Introverts may manage the challenges of aging better... the introvert’s natural inclinations may serve as a built-in buffer against some of aging’s most common challenges”可知，内向者的天性能够帮助他们应对衰老带来的挑战，“buffer”在此处表示对挑战的“缓冲”或“保护”作用，与“Protector（保护者）”含义最接近。故选D。
