阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Getting students interested and active helps them do their best in class. It’s important to use different fun activities to keep everyone learning.
Playing Guess Who
Learning who is who from history can get confusing so use this teaching strategy to help. Put those problem- solving skills to good use in history class (or others). Describe a time, place, or person from history with only three clues. The entire class has to try to figure out who or what you are referring to, then race to the whiteboard to write the answer.
Writing a Journal
Develop creative writing skills by asking each student to write a journal from someone else’s viewpoint. There are many famous diarists who provide key insight into life through history. You could ask students to give a different diary and then ask them to read it in front of the class.
Brainstorming
Group brainstorming sessions are a great way to bring your students together to connect with whatever they are learning. Instead of thinking about the topic alone at their desk, they get to expand (详述) their ideas with other students in small groups. Use brainstorming worksheets for this activity idea.
Debating
Most students will have a view of what they’re learning. Use this to your advantage and create a school activity of debating the pros or cons of whatever they are learning about. Get them to write down their main points on pieces of paper ahead so they can practice and be prepared for the debate. This can be done in front of the whole class and you can change the debaters each week.
1. How do students play Guess Who
A. They debate about historical figures in groups.
B. They brainstorm historical timelines in small groups.
C. They write a journal entry based on a historical figure.
D. They identify historical people or events with known information.
2. In which activity will the teacher ask students to read their works
A. Playing Guess Who. B. Writing a Journal. C. Brainstorming. D. Debating.
3. What do students do during group brainstorming sessions
A. They debate the pros and cons of topics. B. They loudly tell others historical diaries.
C. They explain their ideas to other students. D. They complete projects alone at their desks.
B
28-year-old Ren makes handcrafted wooden plaques (匾牌) and sells them to customers in the United States, Singapore, and other countries. Surrounded by piles of wood waiting to be reused, Ren turns rough pine and beech into custom wooden signs for restaurants, unique homestays, and campgrounds.
After graduating in 2017 and stepping into the highly competitive online clothing industry, Ren realized he needed to find a specialized market. His solution: custom wooden plaques. He founded a company in 2022. “Each piece is tailor-made. It’s nearly impossible to find the same product on the market,” Ren explained. “The price per order attracts quality customers who place large orders.”
Last year, his craft earned him over $688,000 — a success he owed to his much attention to detail and commitment to perfection. “We work with over 10 different types of wood. Every step, from design and cutting to carving, coloring and painting, is crucial,” he said.
International orders began with a midnight message from an American client two years ago. After producing five design variants, Ren waited by his screen for hours without receiving any feedback. “I later realized it was simply the time difference,” he recalled.
Another memorable project was for an American restaurant owner who initially requested four window-like plaques, each about 1.2 meters in diameter. After presenting several design drafts that showcased traditional techniques and craftsmanship, the impressed client increased the order to six pieces. “The owner went on to refer several other American customers to me,” said Ren.
He believes that in the custom business, long-term relationships are key — each satisfied customer becomes a brand ambassador. Ren’s small but dedicated (专心致志的) team of eight continues to breathe life into wood, with his plaques now decorating numerous businesses abroad.
4. Why did Ren choose to enter the custom wooden plaque business
A. To avoid the competition in the previous field. B. To spread wooden plaques abroad.
C. To teach traditional woodworking. D. To enjoy different types of wood.
5. What is the key to Ren’s success in his business
A. The unique design software he uses. B. His ability to speak multiple languages.
C. His focus on detail and pursuit of perfection. D. The large number of employees in his company.
6. Why did the restaurant owner raise the order to six plaques
A. He enjoyed the design for the plaques. B. He was impressed by Ren’s sincerity.
C. He was persuaded by other clients. D. He got a discount from Ren.
7 What does Ren think is the most important in the custom business
A. Offering the lowest price to customers. B. Producing products as quickly as possible.
C. Using the most expensive wood materials. D. Building lasting relationships with customers.
C
Researchers have some new evidence about what makes birds make so much noise early in the morning, and it’s not for some of the reasons they previously thought. For decades, a popular theory about why birds sing at dawn — called the dawn chorus (合唱) — has been that they can be heard farther and more clearly at that time. Sound travels faster in humid (温暖潮湿的) air and it’s more humid early in the morning. It’s less windy, too, which is thought to lessen any distortion (失真) of their sounds.
But scientists in India studied audio (声音的) recordings of birds in the rainforest. They said they didn’t find proof to support this idea about sound traveling better. It was one of the ideas about environmental factors. Another idea is that birds sing at dawn because it’s too dark to look for food.
“We didn’t find much support for some of these environmental reasons suggested in past studies for birds singing more at dawn,” said Vijay Ramesh, a researcher at Cornell University.
The researchers didn’t find one clear reason why the dawn chorus happens, but they found some support for the ideas that the early morning noise is about birds marking their territory after being inactive at night and talking about finding food.
The team analyzed recordings from audio recorders placed at 43 locations in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India, which is known as a biodiversity hotspot. They examined sounds of what they determined were 69 different species of birds. They studied recordings from the hours around dawn and the hours around dusk to compare activities.
Unsurprisingly to anyone who’s been roused by bird calls, the vast majority of species they studied had significantly higher vocal activities at dawn compared to dusk.
8. Why did Indian scientists conduct research on birds in the rainforest
A. To record the sounds of rare bird species. B. To prove sound travels faster in humid air.
C. To explore the reasons for birds’ dawn chorus. D. To find out the best time for the dawn chorus.
9. What can be inferred from the findings of the study
A. Birds’ dawn singing may serve social functions. B. The old theory about dawn chorus is true.
C. Birds are less active at dusk due to light. D. All birds sing to mark territory at dawn.
10. What was the researchers’ approach in the study
A. They observed birds’ feeding habits in the morning.
B. They conducted experiments in a laboratory setting.
C. They tracked birds’ movements in different countries.
D. They analyzed audio recordings from tens of locations.
11. What does the underlined word “roused” in the last paragraph mean
A. Reminded. B. Waken up. C. Threatened. D. Stirred up.
D
Microplastics (tiny, microscopic bits of plastic) have been found almost everywhere researchers look, including the human body. Microplastics and their even tinier cousins, nanoplastics, are probably flowing through your blood and building up in your organs (器官) like the lungs and liver. Now, a new study is linking microplastics to increased heart attack and stroke risk.
“There are some microplastics in normal, healthy arteries (动脉),” said Dr Ross Clark, a researcher who led the study. “But the amount there is really, really different when they become diseased with symptoms.”
Clark and his team measured microplastics and nanoplastics in the dangerous, fatty plaque that can build up in arteries, block blood flow, and cause strokes or heart pared to the walls of healthy plaque-free arteries, plaque buildup had 16 times more microplastics — just in the people who didn’t have symptoms. In people who had experienced stroke, mini-stroke, or vision loss, the plaque had 51 times more microplastics.
Previous research had found that people with microplastics in their arterial plaque were more likely to have a heart attack or die. To investigate why, Clark studied samples (样本) from 48 people’s carotid arteries, the pair of superhighways in your neck that channel blood to your brain. The difference in the number of microplastics surprised him, but his team found another concerning trend, too. Cells in the plaque with lots of microplastics showed different gene activity from those with low microplastics.
In the high-plastic environment, one group of immune cells had switched off a gene that’s associated with turning off inflammation (炎症). Clark’s team also found genetic differences in a group of stem cells thought to help prevent heart attacks and strokes by reducing inflammation and stabilizing plaque.
“Could it be that microplastics are somehow changing their gene expression ” Clark said. “There’s more research needed to fully establish that, but at least it gives us a hint as to where to look.”
12. How might people feel about microplastics linked to disease
A Indifferent. B. Concerned. C. Optimistic. D. Confused.
13. What does Clark’s comparison of microplastic levels show
A. Microplastics in healthy arteries are fatal. B. Healthy arteries contain no microplastics.
C. Microplastic levels are related to arterial health. D. Nanoplastics aren’t present in diseased arteries.
14. What does the study suggest about microplastics’ potential effect
A. They reduce the risk of strokes. B. They are beneficial to turning off inflammation.
C. They directly block blood flow to the brain. D. They may affect gene expression in immune cells.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Dangers of Using Plastics B. Microplastics and Health Risk
C. Medical Research on Human Organs D. Microplastics Found in Human bodies

My great idea to turn my family’s boring backyard into a flourishing vegetable garden was eventually a disaster. After two weeks of working the land, all I had to show for my efforts were a few sad-looking carrot tops and an impressive forest of weeds. I stared at the muddy field, feeling defeated. My dream of serving homegrown food on a plate to my family and giving my parents a big surprise was fading away. Seeing my disappointed face, my parents thought of Mr Flanagan, a retired agriculture expert who lived next door with his wife, to help.
That’s when Mr Flanagan appeared. “It must have been a bit tough to get started, right ” he said, not with criticism, but with a twinkle in his eye. I nodded silently. Then he offered to help, not by taking over, but by teaching. In the following days, our afternoons became lessons in “listening” to the land. He showed me how to test the soil’s pH, calling it a health check-up. He explained why gentle hands were needed for these young carrot plants and taught me the magic of companion planting (混栽) for tomatoes, a way to let plants protect each other by using their natural properties. The work was no longer just hard labor. It became a fascinating journey of understanding the land and its secrets. There was no doubt that some time later, the garden exploded with life under our care.
One day, I harvested enough for a full meal, which was one of the proudest things in my life. I decided to make a dish with a fresh tomato sauce and a side of roasted carrots. As I washed the fresh vegetables, I felt a deep connection to them. I had worked this land, and now it would feed us. I carefully arranged the food on a large plate, my heart swelling with pride.
