China’s Four Major Solar Terms
In traditional Chinese culture, there are 24 Solar Terms (节气) reflecting nature’s changes. Among them, four solar terms stand out as the most important, marking the start of four seasons and carrying rich cultural meanings.
Lichun (Start of Spring)
Lichun usually falls around February 4th, symbolizing the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It’s a time when the weather gradually warms up, and everything comes back to life. People have many interesting traditions to welcome spring: They attach “Spring Couplets” to doors, fly kites in open fields, and eat spring rolls to wish for a good harvest and health.
Lixia (Start of Summer)
Coming around May 5th, Lixia announces the arrival of summer. Temperatures rise, and crops grow fast. Farmers focus on irrigation, while people adjust their diet—eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, or “five colored rice” for good luck.
Liqiu (Start of Autumn)
Falling around August 7th, Liqiu is the signal that autumn is coming. The weather cools down, and it’s harvest time. Farmers gather crops, and families celebrate with meals -eating crabs and grapes. There’s also a tradition called “tasting autumn”, which means enjoying the first fruits of the season to appreciate nature’s gifts.
Lidong (Start of Winter)
Lidong usually arrives around November 7th, marking the beginning of winter. The temperature drops sharply, and many places start to see frost or even snow. People used to store supplies for winter, and now they often eat hot pot, dumplings or mutton soup to stay warm and healthy.
21．What do people do to welcome Lichun
A．Eat spring rolls. B．Start to plant trees.
C．Prepare new clothes. D．Cook five colored rice.
22．What does “tasting autumn” mean
A．Storing winter supplies. B．Enjoying first seasonal fruits.
C．Flying kites in fields. D．Celebrating with family meals.
23．What do people often eat on Lidong to stay warm
A．Fish. B．Mooncakes. C．Dumplings. D．Grapes.
He Weijing, a young guide in a southern Chinese city, has noticed a big change recently: More foreign visitors are flooding in. Fluent in three languages, she works as both a storyteller and cultural sharer, showing travelers special local traditions — like special old gates that balance air flow and privacy, and fruit trees in family courtyards. She also takes kung fu lovers to nearby cities to experience martial arts culture and lion dances.
She isn’t alone in her experience. Recent data shows foreign entries to China have risen sharply, with many arriving via simpler visas. Affordable flights and social media exposure have also made China more attractive, as travelers no longer see it as a hard-to-reach place but want to discover its true face for themselves.
Other guides feel the same sense of purpose. Zhou Qi, who has traveled to 38 countries, sees guiding as a way to correct misunderstandings. She leads visitors to secret places — old record shops, special-interest stores, and quiet old narrow streets — and once calmly helped a guest who fell ill from heatstroke, winning deep trust across borders.
Dinna, a former office worker, now runs personalized tours in an eastern Chinese city. She shows visitors famous landmarks and shares black-and-white old photos to tell the story of the city’s rapid development from farmland to a skyline of tall buildings. A favorite stop is a park where parents look for partners for their children, causing interesting talks about family and daily life in China.
For these guides, their job is more than showing places. It’s about real cultural exchange — connecting people through stories and shared understanding. As more foreigners visit China, these hard-working guides play a key role in helping the world see the real, lively country.
24．What does He Weijing show foreign visitors
A．Modern skyscrapers. B．Local traditions.
C．Office buildings. D．Foreign cultures.
25．Which is NOT a reason for foreigners to visit China
A．Easier visas. B．Cheap flights.
C．Strict entry rules. D．Social media exposure.
26．How do the guides feel about their jobs
A．Boring. B．Rewarding. C．Stressful. D．Challenging.
27．How does the text mainly develop
A．By telling personal stories. B．By explaining scientific facts.
C．By listing numbers only. D．By comparing past and future.
Not all railroad employees wear uniforms, as some of them have tails. Stray cats (流浪猫) have a long history of living at railroad stations, where their main job is to keep the number of mice under control. Today, the next generation of these cat “employees” is still working hard.
Grossmont Station, in the North Yorkshire Moors in the UK, now has three new members —Titch, Clinker, and Ash. These three black strays have found a new home and a clear job on one of the UK’s old railway lines. Simon Wall, the shop supervisor at Grossmont Station, said, “We’ve always had stray cats for many years. They all do a good job for us: They manage the mouse population and make the public happy with their friendly nature.”
The three cats came at the right time. When the station’s last cat that caught mice died, the railroad staff was looking for another one, and the three strays appeared just then. They are a perfect fit for the job: They not only show they can catch mice well but also make visitors laugh with their funny actions, so they have become very popular. Now, the young cats are still in training, practicing their catching skills with small things to get ready for their formal mouse-catching work.
When they are not working, the three cats sleep in a small building outside. It has a special door for cats, warm blankets and even a heater. It’s like a 5-star home for cats. “They stay there at night, and they’re always waiting for me in the morning for some breakfast,” Wall said. “They’re showing they’re really helpful to the railway, and it’s nice we have friendly ones this time.”
Grossmont Station is in the middle of the North York Moors National Park — a perfect place for cats to work at keeping mice under control. Titch, Clinker, and Ash are now carrying on a forty-year tradition of stray cats working hard at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
28．What is the main job of the railroad cats at Grossmont Station
A．Entertaining the staff. B．Protecting the railway tracks.
C．Guiding the visitors. D．Controlling the mouse population.
29．How did the three young cats become railroad employees
A．They appeared at the right moment. B．They were sent by a cat shelter.
C．They were born at the railway station. D．They were chosen after a competition.
30．What shows the three new cats are well cared for
A．They get professional training. B．They are popular with visitors.
C．They are allowed to walk freely. D．They have a comfortable living place.
31．What does the last paragraph focus on
A．The location of Grossmont Station. B．The reason for the station keeping cats.
C．The cats’ continuation of a long tradition. D．National parks’ importance for strays.
People often say “Knowledge is power”. In fact, knowledge can also help us prevent dangers. For a long time, natural disasters like wildfires seemed to come suddenly. We could not know they were coming and could do little to stop them. But now, things are different. With the development of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) can help us know wildfires early and give us a better chance to keep safe.
A group of scientists from Israel made a new AI tool. This tool can tell us where and when wildfires might start, especially those caused by lightning. The tool works so well that its correct rate is second to none — as high as 90%. As the world’s climate changes, such wildfires happen more often and bring more risks. This AI tool is really useful for saving lives when wildfires break out.
This AI tool is better than the old ways of judging wildfire risks. To make this good tool, researchers put together many kinds of information, such as how the environment is, daily weather conditions and messages from satellites. The leader of the study said that knowing wildfires early helps weather departments, fire fighters and emergency workers act faster and better. In this way, people’s lives and the natural world around us can be protected.
Another group of scientists in Israel did a similar study. They focused on wildfire risks in specific places. They used a well-known wildfire risk rule from Canada and changed it a little to fit the local conditions of different countries. After the change, the rule’s correct rate became 80%. Later, they made special AI tools for each country, and the correct rate went up to 86%.
These two AI tools show us an important idea: Dealing with wildfires needs both global thinking and attention to local conditions. Wildfires are a problem for the whole world, but different places have different weather and land conditions. With these AI tools, we can know wildfires more correctly. This helps us build stronger protection and keep people, land and nature safe from terrible wildfires.
32．What did people fail to do about wildfires in the past
A．Escape from them safely. B．Learn about their causes.
C．Talk about their dangers. D．Know their coming in advance.
33．What does the underlined phrase “second to none” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Weak. B．Common. C．Powerful. D．Limiting.
34．What is the common advantage of the two AI tools
A．Both use Canadian risk rules as the base.
B．Both can tell possible wildfires more correctly.
C．Both focus on local wildfire risks.
D．Both depend only on satellite information.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．AI Helps Wildfire Early Warning B．Global Ways to Deal with Wildfires
C．History of Wildfire Prevention D．Two Israeli Scientific Studies
A Super Useful Sharing App
Now there’s a common problem: Many families have a lot of things that are not often used. Most of the time, they just take up valuable storage space and collect dust, yet people don’t want to throw them away because they might need them someday. 36
This app is designed to connect people in the same area. It lets users rent (租) or borrow items directly from nearby neighbors. Need a special kitchen machine for a holiday meal 37 You can find and rent exactly what you need on the app in just a few simple steps.
38 It is simple and safe to use: Owners set their own reasonable rental prices, and the platform includes useful features like in-app payments and user checks. These details help build trust between renters and owners, making the whole thing easy and worry-free. It’s especially popular in crowded cities, where living space is often limited.
Popular rented items cover a wide range of needs. 39 Renting is much cheaper than buying, especially for things used only once in a while. You also don’t need to worry about finding space to store them after use or dealing with repairs.
More importantly, the app builds a positive sharing way of life. It helps people save money and reduce unnecessary waste — both great for the environment. Besides, it lets neighbors meet and connect over shared needs, turning strangers into people they know. 40 All in all, the app brings environmental, money-saving, and social benefits to everyone involved, making sharing a convenient and rewarding choice.
A．The app has won great popularity.
B．To solve this, a new app was created.
C．Or a tent for a weekend camping trip
D．Why not sell these unused things online
E．Many people use this app to sell old things quickly.
F．This small communication builds closer, friendlier communities.
G．Examples include daily products like kitchen machines or small home things.

六、书面表达
67．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。
Mrs Henderson is an old lady in our neighborhood. She has lived alone since her son moved to another country for work five years ago. Her small white house with a red door was never quiet for long — my friends and I often visited her after school, and neighbors stopped by almost every day. We’d sit on her doorstep, listening to her talk about how she grew tomatoes, carrots and sunflowers in her garden when she was young, or how her son used to run after butterflies in the yard, laugh loudly and climb the old apple tree nearby.
She’d always share homemade candies from a glass jar with us, her hands a little shaky but her smile warm and bright. Sometimes we helped her carry heavy groceries home from the store, and on weekends, we’d water her potted flowers, sweep her doorstep, or clean her small living room together, chatting about our school life as we worked. Mrs Henderson loved chatting with us, and she’d often show us old photos of her family, pointing out her son when he was our age and telling us funny stories about his childhood.
Kind Mrs Lopez brought her fresh cookies every Friday afternoon, and Mr Thompson, who lives next door, helped cut her long grass every month. Even the little kids in the neighborhood would draw colorful pictures for her and run to her house to hand them over excitedly. But for the past three days, no one had seen her go out — her curtains stayed closed all day, her garden looked a little messy with weeds growing, and her usual spot on the doorstep was empty. We all felt worried, wondering if she was sick or had trouble doing things on her own.
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, I brought fresh apples to Mrs Henderson’s and knocked — no answer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, Mrs Henderson got well and invited all neighbors to her house to say thanks.

It’s bad for the environment and the animals there; birds might eat plastic by mistake, and plants can’t grow well around garbage. The park used to be our favorite place to play and relax, but now it’s not as pleasant as before. So, the community is organizing a park-cleaning volunteer group. We’ll provide gloves and trash bags, and it’s a great chance to meet neighbors and make new friends. I hope you can join us. We’ll meet every Saturday morning to pick up litter and plant small trees. Protecting nature doesn’t have to be hard. Small actions like this can make a big difference. Let’s work together to make our community and the earth cleaner and more beautiful.

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to tell you about Ms Wang, my junior high English teacher who had a deep effect on me.
She’s a responsible and patient person. When I struggled with English pronunciation, she spent extra time teaching me to read aloud every afternoon. When I made some progress, she always encouraged me, which helped me build confidence. Now I love English and often get good grades.
From Ms Wang, I not only gained knowledge but also learned the value of perseverance. I’ll always remember her and expect to be like her.
Yours,
Li Hua

One afternoon, I brought fresh apples to Mrs Henderson’s and knocked — no answer. I called her name softly, but still heard nothing. I felt worried and ran to ask Mr Thompson next door for help. He came quickly, knocked harder, and looked through the window — we saw Mrs Henderson lying weakly on the sofa. Mr Thompson called a doctor at once. The doctor said she had a bad cold and was too weak to move. Over the next few days, neighbors took turns looking after her, doing all kinds of things to help.
A week later, Mrs Henderson got well and invited all neighbors to her house to say thanks. She put fresh flowers in the living room, and the table had homemade cookies, fruit and hot tea. She held our hands one by one, her eyes a little wet. “Thank you so much,” she said. “When I was sick, you cared for me like family.” We talked and laughed and the sound of joy filled the small house again. From then on, we visited her more often, and her house was always warm and happy. Kind neighbors are like sunshine, which brings warmth to everyone around.
