A
World Book Day Costume Ideas
World Book Day is coming, and parents are looking for quick and creative ways to make book-themed costumes at home.
Re-purpose Halloween costumes.
If you still have Halloween outfits, use them again. A skeleton costume can become Funnybones, or a black cloak can turn into Harry Potter's cape. Even nonfiction characters work—add some cardboard and paint to create an animal or explorer. —Jenny McCann, owner of Bear Bookshop, Smethwick
Pipe cleaners are your friend.
Pipe cleaners can be used to make fun hair, animal tails, or masks. One parent used yellow pipe cleaners for the Lorax's moustache, while others used an old pillowcase for a simple costume. The goal is not perfection but creativity and fun. —Catherine Shoard
Find a character that wears clothes you already have.
Look through your child's closet and find characters who dress simply. A white T-shirt and black trousers can easily become a book hero. Add glasses, a notebook, or colorful socks for detail. —Georgia Duffy, owner of Imagined Things Bookshop, Harrogate
Look to the past.
Classic stories give great ideas. The Wizard of Oz is popular—add a blue dress and basket to be Dorothy, or use tin foil to make the Tin Man. The Mr. Men books also offer quick ideas: paint a box red for Mr. Strong or wear bandages to be Mr. Bump. —Jo Zebedee, co-owner of The Secret Bookshelf in Carrickfergus
21. What is the feature of Jenny McCann's idea
A. It needs new tools. B. It reuses old clothes.

The Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) represent centuries of harmony between people and nature, preserving biodiversity and ensuring food security. These systems show how traditional knowledge—such as soil conservation and water management—can sustain ecosystems and strengthen the ability to recover from climate change. By combining ancient wisdom with modern science, GIAHS demonstrates that sustainable agriculture relies on both innovation and tradition.
China's experience provides valuable lessons. With 25 chosen GIAHS sites, it has built a national system integrating agricultural heritage into rural development. Its “dynamic conservation” model promotes adaptation rather than preservation alone, linking heritage protection with eco-tourism, education, and value-added industries. Through cooperation among universities, research institutes, and local communities, China ensures traditional practices change to meet modern needs while supporting livelihoods.
Young people play a crucial role in ensuring the continuation of agricultural heritage systems. Through participation in initiatives such as the “Youth Action on Green Agri-Heritage” in Shanghai, they are encouraged to reflect on green agricultural heritage and gain a deeper understanding of its significance. By protecting and passing on time-honored knowledge and practices to future generations, while also learning to adapt GIAHS to new realities and technologies, youth serve as a bridge between tradition and innovation.
The Digital Village Initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) further shows this combination, using mobile apps, e-commerce, and GIS mapping to strengthen local economies and product traceability (可追溯性) . When technology integrates with traditional methods, it keeps both cultural identity and environmental balance, ensuring that agricultural heritage remains active and meaningful in the modern era.
Looking forward, FAO aims to further strengthen GIAHS as models of resilience (适应力) in the face of climate change. By promoting innovation and supporting youth engagement, FAO seeks to ensure that these living systems continue to bridge the past and the future. Through such efforts, agricultural heritage is not preserved as a relic (遗迹) of history, but developed as a guiding path toward a more sustainable and inclusive world.
24. What can be learned about GIAHS from paragraph 1
A. It limits agricultural development. B. It values time- tested farming insight.
C. It improves response to water shortage. D. It replaces tradition with modern science.
25. How has China contributed to agricultural heritage conservation
A. By freezing traditional systems in time. B. By making related countryside programs.
C. By focusing mainly on tourism promotion. D. By separating culture from economic growth.
26. What is the purpose of involving youth in GIAHS projects
A. To expand rural labor forces. B. To replace traditional farmers.
C. To reduce reliance on digital tools. D. To ensure intergenerational renewal.
27. What best describes FAO's vision for GIAHS
A. Preserving heritage as museum relics. B. Building advanced urban farming systems.
C. Sustaining living systems through innovation. D. Using technology to reshape outdated traditions.
C
Lindsey Martin's electricity bill hit $314 in July and rose to $372 in August— more than double what she paid a few years ago. Many Americans have reported similar rises as residential electricity costs climb. The U. S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) says prices have risen13% since 2022, with some regions, including the Pacific and New England, seeing even greater increases.
Experts point to multiple causes. Maintaining and upgrading the power grid (电网) has become more expensive, especially as extreme weather becomes more common. But a new factor is driving the trend—artificial intelligence. The AI growth has sharply increased demand for electricity as companies pour billions into data centers. OpenAI and Broadcom recently announced plans to design 10 gigawatts of AI chips and systems, enough to power a large city.
According to the U. S. Department of Energy, data centers could consume 6. 7% to 12% of U. S. electricity by 2028, up from 4. 4% in 2023. Bloomberg found that areas near data centers have seen power costs rise up to 267% in five years. Analysts warn that the power grid cannot keep up with this rise. The expansion of data facilities has already placed pressure on local electricity systems, especially in regions with limited capacity.
AI tools are also growing increasingly sophisticated, developing beyond text- based questions to handle complex tasks like generating realistic videos or coding websites from the start. This complexity requires huge computing power and far greater electricity use. As AI models continue to learn faster and process larger data, their energy demand is expected to grow, forcing companies to expand networks and seek cleaner sources to meet needs.
General power rates depend on the cost of generating, sending, and delivering energy. Some states are adjusting pricing models. Oregon, for instance, now requires data centers to pay for the pressure they place on the grid so that homeowners aren't left covering those costs. Without such changes, experts warn, consumers will continue to feel the financial shock of the AI revolution.
28. What does Martin's story mainly reflect
A. Rising home energy stress. B. Reduced regional price gaps.
C. Wider access to home power. D. Improved electricity efficiency.
29. What can be inferred about AI from paragraph 2
A. It monitors extreme weather. B. It limits industrial investment.
C. It drives the rise of power use. D. It lowers grid repair spending.
30. What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Advanced. B. Primitive. C. Awkward. D. Uncertain.
31. What is the author's attitude toward Oregon's action
A. Doubtful. B. Unconcerned. C. Supportive. D. Disapproving.
D
While more stadiums and gyms have been built in recent years, sports studies show a sharp drop in outdoor play, especially among school-age children. Many parents say it's too dangerous to let kids play in open fields, so they sign them up for indoor training or screen-based exercise instead. As a result, fewer children experience the joy of running freely outside or playing ball with neighbors after school.
Sports writer Emily Gardner finds this worrying. In her book Free to Move: How Cities Forget to Play, she argues that children have lost their most natural place to move— the local playground and field. She says that modern cities often measure success by traffic speed and shopping centers, not by how much space people have to move and connect. Gardner calls for cities to rethink how public areas are used and to bring play and exercise back into daily life.
This change began decades ago when open spaces were replaced by parking lots and shopping centers. Some parents and coaches tried to protect playgrounds from being turned into car parks. In one famous case in London, a community group saved their football pitch (球场) by organizing weekly “play-ins”, where hundreds of children filled the field to show how much it mattered. Similar protests were seen in Japan and Canada in the 1980s.
Yet, despite those efforts, urban design still favors cars over kids. In many countries, playgrounds are declining while private fitness centers grow. Families now drive long distances to reach safe sports areas, and the lack of local play reduces movement. Health experts warn that less outdoor activity not only harms children's physical fitness but also weakens their social and emotional well-being.
We spend billions on roads and cars but little on open fields that build both health and happiness. As Gardner puts it, “A city that forgets to play forgets to live.” It's time to make playgrounds as important as parking lots and let children rediscover the power of movement.
32. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1
A. Limited screen time becomes rarer. B. Playtime with neighbors still matters.
C. Parental worries about security continue. D. Outdoor activity among children declines.
33. What was Emily Gardner trying to do in her book
A. Promote city traffic development. B. Build more private fitness centers.
C. Call for a return of local play spaces. D. Encourage shopping-related leisure.
34. What can be inferred about the protest in London
A. It achieved its intended objective. B. It caused more car parks to appear.
C. It discouraged school involvement. D. It failed to protect any playground.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. When Did Children Stop Learning B. Where Have the Playgrounds Gone
C. How Did Sports Become Dangerous D. Why Do Parents Choose Screens

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。
Many people worry about losing memory or developing diseases like Alzheimer's as they age. News headlines often describe dementia (痴呆) spreading rapidly among older adults, making people feel hopeless. 36 A recent study called POINTER has shown that by making a few lifestyle changes, people can keep their brains active and healthy for years to come.
One of the key findings of the POINTER study is that physical fitness is vital to brain health. A healthy brain needs enough blood and oxygen, which depend on a strong heart. Regular aerobic (有氧的) and resistance exercise can keep the heart working efficiently and reduce the risk of memory loss. 37
Another important factor is a balanced diet. The researchers recommended the MIND diet, a combination of the Mediterranean and DASH diets. It encourages eating grains, nuts, berries, vegetables, and fish, while limiting cheese, sweets, red meat, and fried food. 38 In this way, “what's good for your body is also good for your brain.”
39 The POINTER study asked participants to play memory and logic games to stimulate their brains. You don't have to buy expensive programs— many free puzzles and apps can help improve memory and concentration. The key is to keep learning and challenging yourself regularly.
Finally, social interaction has been proven to boost mental strength. Talking with friends, joining interest groups, or volunteering can all help reduce stress and prevent loneliness. 40 In the POINTER study, participants were encouraged to reach out to others, communicate regularly, and share progress. Building such connections keeps people motivated and makes the journey toward brain health more enjoyable.
A. Some other strategies can boost your body strength.
B. Besides physical health, mental activity matters too.
C. However, experts say that decline is not unavoidable.
D. Therefore, staying connected helps support brain health.
E. But many still believe there's little they can do to stop it.
F. Simple daily workouts like walking can already make a noticeable difference.
G. Such eating habits not only protect the heart but slow down thinking ability decline.

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。
Last month, our community launched a volunteer program to build and manage a shared garden. Posters were displayed at the gate, calling for residents to join hands in planting flowers, growing vegetables, and maintaining the environment. The idea of turning an abandoned piece of land into a green garden immediately appealed to me. I phoned my two close friends, Mike and Lily, who lived in the same neighborhood, and invited them to participate. To my delight, both agreed, excited to contribute to something meaningful for our community.
On the first Saturday morning, the three of us arrived at the empty land chosen for the garden. Several community workers were already there, preparing the soil and arranging tools. We were soon divided into groups, each responsible for different tasks. Mike, who had a gift for design, volunteered to plan the layout of the flower beds. Lily and I began planting seeds, watering, and labeling each plant carefully. The sun was very hot, and sweat ran down our faces, yet the laughter around us made every minute worthwhile. Some neighbors passing by offered bottles of water and even joined us, saying how wonderful it was to see young people caring for the neighborhood. By the end of the day, the once-bare ground was covered with rows of green shoots, silently promising a bright future.
As weeks went by, the garden began to take shape. The air was filled with the smell of fresh earth and blooming (盛开的) flowers. Elderly neighbors stopped by to watch, children came to water the plants after school, and families enjoyed evening walks along the paths we had created. However, as summer approached, the enthusiasm started to grow weaker. Some volunteers got busy, and weeds began to grow quickly. Without regular care, several plants dried up in the heat. Seeing the yellow leaves and dry soil, I couldn't help feeling disappointed and worried. Something had to be done if we wanted the garden to survive.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One afternoon, our leader gathered us to discuss how to manage the garden better. Months later, I walked through the garden again and was amazed by its beauty.

36. C【解析】本句承接前文“新闻让人感到无助”，起到转折作用，引出专家的不同观点。文中强调“虽然人们担心记忆力下降，但专家指出这种衰退并非不可避免”，为后文介绍研究提供逻辑过渡。因此，C项 “However, experts say that decline is not unavoidable. (然而，专家表示这种衰退并非不可避免。) ” 符合语意与逻辑。故选C项。
37. F【解析】本句与前文关于“运动对大脑健康的重要性”相呼应，属于举例说明。前文提到运动能维持心脏健康、减少记忆力衰退风险，F项 “Simple daily workouts like walking can already make a noticeable difference. (简单的日常锻炼如步行就能产生明显效果。) ” 是对前文的具体补充，强化“运动有益脑健康”的观点。故选F项。
38. G【解析】该句与前文关于“均衡饮食”的论述为并列关系，进一步说明其益处。前文介绍“MIND 饮食”鼓励摄入健康食物、限制高脂和油炸食品，G项 “Such eating habits not only protect the heart but slow down thinking ability decline. (这样的饮食习惯不仅保护心脏，还能减缓思维能力下降。) ” 与段落主题高度契合，且自然引出后文总结句。故选G项。
39. B【解析】本句为段落主题句，承上启下。前文讲述饮食与运动，后文过渡到脑力活动的重要性。B项 “Besides physical health, mental activity matters too. (除了身体健康外，脑力活动也同样重要。) ” 准确概括段落核心，并引出后文关于“记忆与逻辑训练”的内容，符合逻辑与结构。故选B项。
40. D【解析】本句与前文构成因果关系。前文指出社交活动能减轻压力、预防孤独，D项 “Therefore, staying connected helps support brain health. (因此，保持联系有助于维持大脑健康。) ” 总结前因后果，既起到概括段落内容的作用，又自然引出研究实例。故选D项。

第四部分 写作
第一节
Dear Eric,
Our teacher has given us a project on Historical Heritage of Different Civilizations. I'm writing to invite you to work with me on this task. Your understanding of British culture will make our project more authentic and interesting.
As for the division of work, I'll explore Chinese civilization by introducing the Great Wall and the Terracotta Army, while you could focus on British heritage sites like Stonehenge or the Tower of London, highlighting their historical and cultural significance. Afterwards, we may design an informative presentation to showcase the beauty of both cultures. I firmly believe that through our collaboration, we'll gain deeper insights into world heritage and foster a stronger cross-cultural understanding.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One afternoon, our leader gathered us to discuss how to manage the garden better. Everyone shared ideas seriously this time. Mike suggested building a small fence to prevent people from stepping on the plants, while Lily proposed making a duty schedule so each volunteer would take turns watering and cleaning. I recommended inviting more residents to join, especially families with children, to keep the garden lively. The leader agreed and encouraged us to divide tasks and support one another. Over the next few weeks, we repaired broken tools, cleared the weeds, and built a watering system together. Slowly, the garden began to recover its energy and beauty.
Months later, I walked through the garden again and was amazed by its beauty. Bright flowers were blooming beside rows of vegetables, and butterflies danced freely in the air. Children were laughing as they watered the plants, while elderly neighbors rested on benches, sharing stories under the trees. Mike was painting a signboard that read “Our Shared Garden, ” and Lily was teaching a little girl how to plant seeds. Standing there, I felt proud and moved. The garden had survived because we never gave up— it had become not only a green space but also the beating heart of our community.

M: Billy Ray Harris was homeless. Every day, sitting along the street, he occasionally heard the sound of one coin or two dropping into his cup. One day, the noise was louder than usual. If Billy had looked up, he'd have seen a woman putting some coins and even a diamond ring in the cup. But he didn't. A little later, he found the ring in the cup. He just went straight to a jeweler's to change it for money. But then he thought about his grandfather, who had brought him up to always do the right thing, and he kept the diamond ring. Two days later, to find the ring, the woman approached him. She introduced herself and asked if he'd found anything unusual in his cup. Billy pulled out the ring from his pocket and returned it to the woman.
Then the woman told her husband the story and they raised money for Billy online. With their help, Billy lives in his own home instead of the street. That's not all. Thanks to the news report, he is reunited with his older brother, Edwin Harris who he had been unable to find for27 years.
