Nowadays, some calligraphers (书法家) are marrying modern technology with ancient writing art to let young people love it.
Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy.
“It was quite a blow to me,” said Chang. “And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy.” So Chang created a system called “e-pen”. However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy.
Then, thanks to the tablet computer, a new “e-pen” was-born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new “e-pen” app became popular quickly. “The c-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters,” said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For instance, young students can now practice writing characters like “love” and “peace” with a digital brush.
To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy is set to grow stronger in a new digital age.
43. Why did Chang Binghuang create the “e-pen” system
A. He wanted to teach calligraphy more quickly.
B. His students were very interested in calligraphy.
C. He was attracted by the popularity of table t computers.
D. He found students preferred technology to traditional writing.
44. What can we infer from the underlined sentence about Chang
A. He felt sad and shocked. B. He felt surprised and proud.
C. He felt excited and happy. D. He felt bored and puzzled.
45. Who is the user of the “e-pen” app according to Chang
A. Same successful Calligraphers. B. Anyone interested in Chinese characters.
C. Young people who are skilled in technology. D. Students from Tamkang University.
46. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage (P= Paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
47. In which part of a magazine can we read the text

February 29 is a special date that only happens once every four years. This day is known as a leap day, and the year with this extra day is a leap year. But what are leap years, why do we need them, and how did this idea start
A leap year has 366 days, one more than the usual 365. According to the Gregorian calendar, which most countries use today, a leap year happens every four years. This extra day is February 29, a date that doesn’t exist (存在) in other years. Generally, any year that can be evenly divided by four is a leap year, like 2020 and 2024. However, there are special cases for certain century years, which end in double zeros, such as 1900.
The term “leap” is used because from March in a leap year, each date moves forward by an extra day from the last year. For example, March 1 in 2027 will fall on a Monday, but in the following leap year 2028, it will be on a Wednesday. Other calendar systems, such as the Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, and Ethiopian, also include leap years, but they don’t happen every four years and don’t always match up with the Gregorian leap years.
Leap years are necessary to keep our calendar matching the Earth’s trips around the sun. The Earth takes about 365 days, 5 hours, 48minutes, and 46 seconds to go around the sun once—that’s more than a calendar year. If we didn’t add a day for this extra time, our calendar would slowly drift away (偏离) from the solar year. ________. For example, without leap years, after about 700 years, summer in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) would begin in December instead of June.
48. Which of the following years is a leap year
A. 1900. B. 1999 C. 2014. D. 2220.
49. Why do we have leap years
A. To celebrate a unique holiday every four years.
B. To match the calendar with the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
C To allow February to have more days than other months.
D. To follow ancient traditions from the Hebrew calendar.
50. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 4.
A. Leap years include an extra month to balance the seasons.
B. Over time this would make the seasons start at different times.
C. Without leap years, the time it takes for a full moon cycle would change.
D. Without the extra day, each season would start a day earlier than the last.
51. What can we know from the passage
A. Not all calendars have leap years.
B. The Gregorian calendar is mainly used in Europe.
C. Using leap years can help change the timing of the seasons.
D. It takes more than 365 days for the Earth to go around the sun once.
52. What would be the best title for the passage
A. The Development of the Calendar: A Historical View
B. February’s Special Date: Celebrating the Leap Day
C. The World’s Calendars: A Comparison of Systems
D. Why We Add a Day: The Science Behind Leap Years
【答案】48. D 49. B 50. B 51. D 52. D

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了闰年的定义、作用及其科学原理，解释了为什么需要通过增加闰日来保持日历与地球公转周期的同步。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第2段“Generally, any year that can be evenly divided by four is a leap year... However, there are special cases for certain century years, such as 1900”可知，闰年需满足能被4整除 (世纪年需被400整除)。1900是世纪年且不被400整除，不是闰年；1999和2014不能被4整除；2220能被4整除且非世纪年。故选D。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Leap years are necessary to keep our calendar matching the Earth’s trips around the sun”可知，闰年是为了让日历与地球公转周期同步。故选B。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。空白处前文提到“日历会逐渐偏离太阳年”，后文举例“700年后北半球夏季将从12月开始”，说明季节时间会错乱。B项“长期如此，季节将在不同时间开始”承上启下。故选B。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第4段“The Earth takes about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds to go around the sun once”可知，地球公转周期略长于365天。故选D。
【52题详解】
最佳标题题。全文围绕闰年的科学原理展开，D项“为什么增加一天：闰年背后的科学”最贴合。故选D。

My Dream Vacation
The summer vacation or winter vacation is a good time to travel. Traveling is not just about relaxation, it’s a journey to explore the world and enrich our souls. My dream vacation is a trip to Hainan, a tropical paradise in southern China. Hainan, known as the “Hawaii of the East,” is surrounded by the South China Sea. Summer in Hainan is warm, with temperatures ranging from 25℃ to 32℃—perfect for outdoor activities.
My parents and I will fly to Haikou, the capital, which is both convenient and time-saving. We’ll swim in the crystal-clear waters, build sandcastles, and watch breathtaking sunsets. Exploring coral reefs and trekking through rainforests will let us connect with nature. Tasting Hainanese chicken rice, visiting local markets, and learning about traditional customs will deepen my understanding of the island’s great culture.
This trip is more than a vacation—it’s a good chance to escape from daily stress. It is also an opportunity to broaden my horizons. Through travel, we can appreciate nature’s beauty, embrace new experiences, and create unforgettable memories with family.
In conclusion, my dream vacation to Hainan combines relaxation, adventure, and cultural discovery. I believe we will enjoy ourselves during the vacation.

Quan Hongchan, born in 2007 in Guangdong, China, is a rising star in the diving world. At the age of 14, she became the youngest Olympic diving champion in Tokyo 2020, winning the women’s 10-meter platform event with three perfect 10s in her five dives.
Quan’s road to success was not easy. Her family was poor, and her mother’s illness motivated her to train harder. “I wanted to earn money to help my mom,” she once said. Every day, she practiced diving for hours, repeating the same moves—jumping, spinning (旋转), and entering the water smoothly. Her coach said, “She is very tough (坚强的). Even when she gets hurt, she never complains.”
After winning the Olympics, Quan became a national hero. She received many gifts, including toys and snacks, which she shared with her siblings (兄弟姐妹). But she remained humble (谦虚的). “I still have a lot to learn. My dream is to win more championships for China,” she said.
In recent years, Quan has faced new challenges, like growing taller and adjusting (调整) her diving techniques. But she believes in bard work. “Success comes from consistent (持续的) practice,” she often tells young athletes.

Nowadays, some calligraphers (书法家) are marrying modern technology with ancient writing art to let young people love it.
Chang Binghuang is a teacher of Chinese language at Tamkang University. He found that his students liked to spend much more time on computers and phones than writing on paper, and even less time on calligraphy.
“It was quite a blow to me,” said Chang. “And I started to think about how to use technology to get young people interested in calligraphy.” So Chang created a system called “e-pen”. However, this system was not perfect first. The writers had to watch the screen instead of the hands. It did not feel like writing calligraphy.
Then, thanks to the tablet computer, a new “e-pen” was-born. People can now look at the screen and their hands at the same time. The new “e-pen” app became popular quickly. “The c-pen app is for anyone with an interest in learning Chinese characters,” said Chang. So people who have little interest or are not that willing to learn will be able to take the first step into the world of calligraphy. For instance, young students can now practice writing characters like “love” and “peace” with a digital brush.
To keep the tradition alive, Chang hopes more young people will learn more about calligraphy with the help of new technology. With technology, the art of calligraphy is set to grow stronger in a new digital age.
43. Why did Chang Binghuang create the “e-pen” system
A. He wanted to teach calligraphy more quickly.
B. His students were very interested in calligraphy.
C. He was attracted by the popularity of table t computers.
D. He found students preferred technology to traditional writing.
44. What can we infer from the underlined sentence about Chang
A. He felt sad and shocked. B. He felt surprised and proud.
C. He felt excited and happy. D. He felt bored and puzzled.
45. Who is the user of the “e-pen” app according to Chang
A. Same successful Calligraphers. B. Anyone interested in Chinese characters.
C. Young people who are skilled in technology. D. Students from Tamkang University.
46. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage (P= Paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
47. In which part of a magazine can we read the text
A. Schools. B. News. C. Fashion. D. Culture.

February 29 is a special date that only happens once every four years. This day is known as a leap day, and the year with this extra day is a leap year. But what are leap years, why do we need them, and how did this idea start
A leap year has 366 days, one more than the usual 365. According to the Gregorian calendar, which most countries use today, a leap year happens every four years. This extra day is February 29, a date that doesn’t exist (存在) in other years. Generally, any year that can be evenly divided by four is a leap year, like 2020 and 2024. However, there are special cases for certain century years, which end in double zeros, such as 1900.
The term “leap” is used because from March in a leap year, each date moves forward by an extra day from the last year. For example, March 1 in 2027 will fall on a Monday, but in the following leap year 2028, it will be on a Wednesday. Other calendar systems, such as the Hebrew, Islamic, Chinese, and Ethiopian, also include leap years, but they don’t happen every four years and don’t always match up with the Gregorian leap years.
Leap years are necessary to keep our calendar matching the Earth’s trips around the sun. The Earth takes about 365 days, 5 hours, 48minutes, and 46 seconds to go around the sun once—that’s more than a calendar year. If we didn’t add a day for this extra time, our calendar would slowly drift away (偏离) from the solar year. ________. For example, without leap years, after about 700 years, summer in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球) would begin in December instead of June.
