A
Yang Ting, who changed from being a law graduate to a teacher, and finally to a businesswoman, is opening a Hanfu dressing and makeup store in the busy shopping street of the Grand Tang Dynasty Ever Bright City in Xi’an.
“People hardly talked about Hanfu several years ago,” said Yang, “They didn’t even know whether it meant clothes worn by the Han Chinese throughout history, or clothes specifically worn during the Han Dynasty.” The Hanfu clothes seen in her store are not exactly what ancient Han people once wore, and have been changed for easy wear. However, they play a positive role in helping people understand the authentic Hanfu shown at places like museums, which may not suit modern tastes and lifestyles.
In a conversation, Yang explained that the process of dressing up in Hanfu and having makeup done was not complicated (复杂的). It begins with selecting the desired style of clothing, followed by turning to makeup artists for the perfect look, which typically takes about an hour. The individualization of makeup and styling is based on the customer’s preferences and facial features. Yang said, “We provide many styles, meeting each individual’s preferences.”
“The store has gained praise for its unique offerings, attracting visitors not only from different parts of China but also from countries such as South Korea, Russia and Nigeria. Yang recalled an example when visitors from Nigeria even live-streamed (网络直播) their experiences, introducing Hanfu to their audience. “For foreigners, Hanfu holds a mysterious attraction,” Yang said. “When we introduce different styles of clothing from different dynasties, they listen attentively, showing a great interest in traditional Chinese culture.”
“Despite its rising popularity, most Hanfu fans tend to only wear the outfits for photo shoots with friends and at traditional festivals,” Yang said, “Only about 20 percent of them wear Hanfu in their everyday lives.”
1. What does the underlined word “authentic” mean in Paragraph 2
A. Universal B. Original C. Annual D. External
2. What is the special feature of Yang’s store
A. Meeting customers’ personal needs.
B. Introducing Hanfu by live-streaming.
C. Providing efficient service with warmth.
D. Requiring complicated make-up process.
3. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Nigerian visitors
A. To show widespread appeal.
B. To prove live-stream success.
C. To compare cultural differences.
D. To draw international customers.
4. What will most likely be discussed next
A. Plans to open new Hanfu shops.
B. Ways to attract more foreign visitors.

Protein is important for maintaining muscle and health. For a healthy person, a daily intake of 0.83 grams per kilogram (g/kg) of body weight is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).
A report published in 2025 suggests that the elderly should eat more protein, since muscles weaken with age and older bodies are less efficient at taking in protein. An intake closer to 1.2 g/kg, together with strength training, can help limit muscle loss in older people. Pregnant (怀孕的) women need to double the recommended amount to feed their babies. For those wanting to build muscles, the WHO has recommended a daily intake of between 1.4 g/kg and 2 g/kg. However, eating more than 1.6 g/kg does not lead to further muscle growth.
Where should the protein come from Protein powders (粉末) are popular since having protein as a drink is more convenient than biting on beef. Research finds that protein powders are especially good at building muscles for exercising adults. But the powders won’t offer muscle on their own: The best results come in those who also lift heavy in the gym. Yet supporters of a traditional balanced diet argue that because protein powders contain much sugar and other add-ins, they are less healthy than food-based protein. Eating whole foods may be a better way to build muscles after a workout, because of the rich micro-nutrients (微量营养素)
Followers of a Western diet, rich in meat and milk products, usually overuse the regular protein requirements. Some experts warn of the potential for stomach damage, but a 2024 research pointed out that this was only a worry for people with existing stomach trouble. The greater risk may come from protein-rich diets which depend heavily on red meat and some foods that contain harmful fats. Anyway, in places where food is rich, measuring your protein by the gram may not be worth it. Unless you’re looking to build muscles, a regular diet is enough.
5. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Different findings from recent research.
B. Recommended intake for specific groups.
C. Key biological processes in muscle growth.
D. Main causes of shortages among the elderly.
6. What is the advantage of food-based protein
A. They are lower in micro-nutrients.
B. They are healthier without add-ins.
C. They are more convenient to take in.
D. They are more effective without exercise.
7. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph
A. Keep a regular diet.
B. Avoid red meat foods.
C. Protect stomach health.
D. Measure protein intake.
8. In which section of a website may this text appear
A. Fashion. B. Culture. C. Sport. D. Health.
C
According to the recent research, plants in Europe photosynthesize (光合作用) more at the weekend, probably because there is less pollution in the air. Photosynthesis is how green plants use sunlight to make sugars from carbon dioxide (CO ) and water, giving off oxygen in the process.
With increasing air pollution from wildfires, dust and human activities in recent years, Iris Bloom at the Carnegie Institution for Science in California and her teammate’s wanted to see what effect air quality has on photosynthesis.
The team researched satellite measurements of how much light was given out by the green chlorophyll (叶绿素) in the leaves of plants across Europe between 2021 and 2025. The finding goes with how much photosynthesis is occurring.
By checking this with satellite air pollution data (数据) during the same period, the team discovered that photosynthesis rates increased when there were lower levels of aerosols, a type of pollution that includes dust as well as smoke from wildfires and human activities. These aerosols can prevent sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface, which can slow down or even stop plants’ photosynthesis. On the other hand, when there is less aerosol pollution in the atmosphere, more sunshine can reach the leaves of plants, says Iris. The team found that higher rates of photosynthesis occurred at weekends in 64 per cent of Europe. “There’s less traffic and industrial activities on the weekend,” says Iris. “But during the weekdays, the air is dirtier, so we see a strong weekly cycle.”
The findings suggest that reducing aerosol levels, especially those from transport or industrial processes, could allow plants to collect and store more carbon. “Improving air quality is not only beneficial to people’s health, but also very good for ecosystem productivity and the overall health of our planet,” says Iris.
9. Why did the team do the research
A. To control the level of aerosols in the air.
B. To reduce air pollution of human activities.
C. To determine the amount of light produced by plants.
D. To examine the influence of air quality on photosynthesis.
10. How did the team make the discovery
A. By observing plant growth. B. By studying historical records.
C. By building computer models. D. By comparing measurement data.
11. What can be inferred about aerosol in Paragraph 4
A. It destroys leaves on plants.
B. It becomes heavier at weekends.
C. It blocks sunlight for photosynthesis.
D. It improves the ability of photosynthesis.
12. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To describe side effects of traffic.
B. To seek ways of reducing pollution.
C. To promote improvement of air quality.
D. To introduce the function of photosynthesis.

Cathy and I have been close for eight years. When I was an awkward primary school student, Cathy was the popular girl who was willing to make friends with me. Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she has been almost like a sister to me. Whether we’re walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we’re hardly out of each other’s sight. But last Saturday, our friendship was on the rocks.
Our original plan was to see a film at the cinema that afternoon. But in the morning, Cathy posted a message on social media saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to make it to the cinema. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.”
On Monday, however, I received a horrible surprise. A classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a cafe on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness” was a complete lie! Instead of recovering at home, she was out having fun with someone else.
I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I didn’t feel like responding to any of her online messages. The stress of this situation was killing me, and I was at a loss what to do next.
When I got home after school, I told mom all about it. She said, “Don’t be so quick to judge your friend. Perhaps she knows she’s in the wrong and wants to apologize, or maybe she has a simple explanation for her behavior. In any case, find an opportunity to have a full and frank talk with her. Listen to what she has to say, and be sure to explain how you feel. I’m sure you can solve this problem together.”

The event received an overwhelmingly positive response. Students were fascinated by these activities and felt they had a better understanding of Chinese traditional culture. They all hoped to have more such events in the future.

第二节 (满分25分)
59. 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。
Cathy and I have been close for eight years. When I was an awkward primary school student, Cathy was the popular girl who was willing to make friends with me. Since then, a close friendship has grown between us and she has been almost like a sister to me. Whether we’re walking to school, doing homework or just hanging out at the weekend, we’re hardly out of each other’s sight. But last Saturday, our friendship was on the rocks.
Our original plan was to see a film at the cinema that afternoon. But in the morning, Cathy posted a message on social media saying she had a cold. When I called her, she said she might not be able to make it to the cinema. “Don’t worry,” I said. “Get some rest. We can wait till you get better.”
On Monday, however, I received a horrible surprise. A classmate told me she had seen my friend chatting with another girl in a cafe on Saturday afternoon. How stupid I was! My friend’s “illness” was a complete lie! Instead of recovering at home, she was out having fun with someone else.
I was so angry that I avoided her during school all day, and I didn’t feel like responding to any of her online messages. The stress of this situation was killing me, and I was at a loss what to do next.
When I got home after school, I told mom all about it. She said, “Don’t be so quick to judge your friend. Perhaps she knows she’s in the wrong and wants to apologize, or maybe she has a simple explanation for her behavior. In any case, find an opportunity to have a full and frank talk with her. Listen to what she has to say, and be sure to explain how you feel. I’m sure you can solve this problem together.”

【答案】
Late that night, I checked my e-mail box. There was a long e-mail from Cathy. She apologized sincerely for lying to me, explaining that the girl was her cousin who’d just moved to town and she’d been too nervous to tell me, fearing I’d feel left out and upset. She wrote how much our eight-year friendship meant to her and begged for my forgiveness, saying she couldn’t bear losing me. Reading her heartfelt words, my anger slowly faded, and I felt guilty for avoiding her all day without asking for an explanation.
The next day before class, I went up to Cathy’s desk. I handed her a note, saying I’d read her e-mail carefully and forgiven her. Cathy’s eyes lit up with relief, and she hugged me tightly without hesitation. She promised to never hide anything from me or lie again, no matter how small the matter was. We chatted for a while about her cousin, and the awkwardness between us disappeared completely. I realized that true friendship needs trust and open communication, not hasty judgments. Our bond became even stronger after this little crisis.
