A
Hi David, I really want to have a pet lizard because I think these animals are special and cool. But my mom is afraid of lizards and doesn’t want me to have one. What should I do Jasper
Hi Jasper, That’s a difficult one. Your mom can’t help being afraid of lizards. She might also worry about having to take care of it. Try to show her that you are ready to look after it on your own. This way, she won’t have to do anything. Write down everything you will do to give the lizard the care it needs, like feeding it and cleaning its tank. What about keeping it in your room You can also try doing some more jobs around the house. Let your mom trust you with more difficult ones. Maybe you can learn more about lizards together to help her feel more comfortable about them. Sometimes, understanding more about something can make it less scary. You could also start with a small lizard to help her feel less afraid. Be patient and understanding of how she feels, and maybe over time, she’ll like the idea. Good luck! David
51.What is Jasper’s main problem
A. He doesn’t know how to care for a lizard.
B. His mother is scared of lizards.
C. He cannot find a small lizard to buy.
D. His mother thinks lizards are cool.
52.David thinks Jasper’s mom might worry about ________.
A. the lizard being too noisy
B. Jasper spending too much time on it
C. the lizard escaping from the tank
D. having to take care of the lizard herself
53.What is the main purpose of David’s reply
A. To explain why keeping a lizard can be troublesome.
B. To suggest that Jasper should give up getting a lizard.
C. To share his own experience of keeping a lizard as a pet.
D. To encourage Jasper to be patient and understanding.

SCENE IV. A Court of Justice (公平). [Enter the DUKE, the MAGISTRATES, ANTONIO, BASSANIO, SHYLOCK, and others.] SHYLOCK: I want justice. The agreement must be completely honored. PORTIA: [to the court] Is Antonio not able to repay the money BASSANIO: Yes, I can offer the court twice the amount of Antonio’s loan (贷款). If that is not enough, I can pay ten times the amount. If even this is not enough, it would seem that revenge (报复) is more important than justice. PORTIA: Shylock, you have been offered three times the amount of the loan. SHYLOCK: I have already made a promise! Shall I break such a promise No, not for Venice! PORTIA: It is true that the loan has not been paid, and lawfully you can ask for a pound of flesh (人或动物的肉) from near Antonio’s heart. Show kindness. Accept three times your money. SHYLOCK: My wise judge (法官), make your judgement according to the law. Nobody will make me change my mind. PORTIA: [to Antonio] Justice must be done. Prepare yourself, Antonio. SHYLOCK: Oh, wise judge! Oh, excellent young man! PORTIA: [to Antonio] Open the front of your shirt. SHYLOCK: Yes. It’s in the agreement, is it not, good judge “Nearest his heart”— those are the exact words. PORTIA: That is true. Will you weigh the flesh SHYLOCK: [producing the tools from under his seat] I have them ready. PORTIA: A pound of Antonio’s flesh is yours. The court has decided it, and it is the law. SHYLOCK: [smiling] Most honest judge! PORTIA: [holding up her hand for silence] One minute, there is something else. This agreement allows you flesh, but not a single drop of blood. The exact words are “a pound of flesh”. So, take your payment, take your pound of flesh. But when you cut it, you must not take one drop of blood. If you do, you will lose your land and money, by law.

In shopping malls in Chinese cities, more and more foreign tourists are buying high-tech products made in China. For example, at a main DJI store, which is a famous tech company, a filmmaker from Switzerland bought a camera. He said these products are not expensive, easy to carry, and have the latest functions.
This is not only about cameras. In Hangzhou, a city known for technology, visitors can buy special gifts that use modern science. These include things like smart glasses and beautiful scarves. People can even use a computer program to design their own scarf pattern. This makes the scarf very special and different from others, so it becomes a great souvenir (纪念品).
Two main reasons explain this change. First, Chinese companies make good products that are useful and easy to use for everyone around the world. Second, the government has created helpful rules. One important rule makes it easy for tourists to get back some of the money they spend, a process called a tax refund. Now, they can often get this money quickly through a phone app. Also, people from many countries do not need a visa, a special travel paper which allows that person to enter, stay in, or leave that country for a certain period of time, to visit China, making travel simpler.
Because of this, products like DJI cameras are now commonly bought by international travelers. They represent China’s ability to create new and useful things. As technology and services keep improving, these high-tech products will likely attract even more buyers from all over the world.
58.How does the writer talk about the high-tech products made in China
A. By giving reasons. B. By listing numbers.
C. By asking a question. D. By giving an example.
59.What can we infer about the scarves in Hangzhou
A. They are the most popular souvenir in China.
B. They make visitors feel more creative and special.
C. They are too difficult for most people to design.
D. They are only bought by foreign tourists.
60.The Chinese government’s rules are important because they help tourists ________.
A. save money when shopping B. receive free travel guides
C. find new friends abroad D. learn Chinese quickly
61.What is the main idea of this passage
A. Shopping in China is very fun.
B. Hangzhou has many good stores.
C. China’s tech products attract visitors.
D. Making souvenirs is a new style.
D
In villages across China, special community canteens (食堂) are providing warm meals and company for the elderly. A good example is found in Ningxia, a region in northwest China. At lunchtime, elderly villagers like 70-year-old Mr. Ma Xueyun gather at their local canteen. For just ten yuan, they enjoy a healthy and tasty meal. “The food is soft and affordable. It’s also a wonderful place to meet friends,” says Mr. Ma.
These canteens, which are supported by local governments and run by village collectives (村集体经济组织), solve an important problem. Because many young people now work in cities, a lot of elderly people in the countryside live alone. For them, cooking can be difficult. The canteens offer a helpful solution by serving hot meals and creating a friendly community space for seniors.
The service is very considerate. For those who have trouble walking, volunteers deliver meals to their homes. The canteens also create jobs for local people and sometimes include a “children’s corner” for students after school.
This helpful idea is growing. By 2025, China had about 75,000 such meal spots, serving over 2.9 million elderly people daily. The government is making long-term plans, using money from different sources, to keep these places running. The goal is simple and kind: to make sure more elderly people in rural areas can easily get a hot meal and enjoy friendly companionship close to home.
62.According to the first paragraph, what problems does the community canteen help solve for the elderly
a. Provide warm meals. b. Offer a wonderful place to meet friends.
c. Provide soft food. d. Take care of their grandchildren.
e. Organize free health check-ups. f. Provide transportation services.
A. abc B. abd C. cde D. cef
63.In the second paragraph, the word “seniors” most likely means ________.
A. meal volunteers B. young students C. school workers D. older people
64.The paragraph mentioning “75,000 meal spots” mainly aims to ________ .
A. list the problems in villages
B. describe the feelings of the elderly
C. show the growth of this idea
D. explain how the canteens cook food
65.What is the main purpose of the article
A. To compare different canteens in China.
B. To describe a solution helping rural elderly people.
C. To encourage young people to return to villages.
D. To explain why cooking is difficult for the elderly.

She offered to have a display of my artwork in the school during parent-teacher conferences. A lot of my paintings were bought by parents and teachers.
How did your project grow
I started getting different chances to display my art at restaurants and art galleries. I also displayed it on social-media sites under the name Art by Arsh.
In all, I have donated over $23,000 to different charities, such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Compass to Care, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Easterseals.
How do you decide what to paint
I like painting landscapes. When my family goes on vacations, we take pictures, and usually I end up painting those pictures. Sometimes, I get orders from people. They tell me what to paint—what size, what colors—and then I paint it and send it to them.
What have you learned through sharing your art
No matter how old you are, you can do something to change the world and bring good to the community. Whenever I pick up a paintbrush, I say to myself, I know this painting is going to help someone. That encourages me to keep painting.
