We will surely have a bright future
Looking at the world’s progress, I firmly believe our future will shine. Every breakthrough, from tech advances to social progress, shows that hard work breeds hope—this fills me with excitement.
My plan starts today: I’ll dive deeper into subjects, join volunteer work to learn empathy, and practice public speaking to share ideas. Growth needs both knowledge and courage.
Let’s unite! Seize each day to learn, care for others, and stay hopeful. The future isn’t just a dream—it’s what we build together, step by step.

The next morning, Lily dragged her feet to school, her heart heavy. She remembered those names in the Kindness Garden, and how much she wished that her name would remain there, but Mommy’s words echoed in her mind. When she arrived, she stared at her flower on the board for a long time. Then, she resolutely and determinedly reached up and took it down, walked to Mr. Carter’s desk, and pointed out the mistake. Mr. Carter’s eyes widened, then softened with pride. He praised her honesty and courage and immediately made a special decision.
At the end of the day, Mr. Carter announced it to the class. “Boys and girls, Lily has earned a special golden flower today.” All the classmates felt very surprised and asked why. “Because she did something even more important than a perfect score. She found a mistake I missed on her science quiz. Instead of keeping it hidden, she chose to be honest. That’s true kindness to others and herself — and it deserves the highest recognition!” The class erupted in cheers, and Lily’s heart swelled with warmth. As she smiled, she heard Mommy’s voice in her mind again: “You’ll choose wisely.” And she had.

Charles Smith, an experienced ski instructor buried under snow for an hour after this morning’s avalanche (雪崩), is recovering in hospital. He has been allowed to speak with reporters from his hospital bed, but he can’t stand up on his own because of a broken ankle. Speaking to reporters, he admitted the accident shocked everyone. “People didn’t think that this kind of thing would happen to an experienced skier” he said.
He said that the weather had been good all week, and there hadn’t been any warnings about possible avalanches. The problem was that Charles had gone out in an unprepared ski area, He explained. “It is true that there hadn’t been any avalanche warnings, but the fact is that I put other people in danger by leading my group to that area. I shouldn’t have done that,” he admitted regretfully.
Recalling the terrifying moment, he continued, while waiting for his group, he heard a loud noise and saw a wall of snow racing towards him. Charles had no time to react. Within seconds, he was blinded, everything turned white, and then there was silence. As time passed, Charles started to panic, fearing he wouldn’t be able to breathe. After what seemed like hours, he heard barking and realized that the specially trained mountain rescue dogs had found him using their incredible sense of smell. Once freed, his biggest concern was that there were still other people buried under the snow. Luckily, no others were caught.
Incredibly grateful to the dogs and the rescue team, he promised to thank them in person as soon as he was well enough to leave the hospital and he agreed that he was a very lucky man. Charles went on to stress that the frequency of avalanches has increased in recent years, “The point is that we all need to be careful, even if we are experienced skiers.”

To mark its 130th anniversary this year, the National Trust has announced plans to create around 2,500 square kilometres of “nature-rich” landscapes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The National Trust is a charity that preserves nature and buildings.
The organisation has set a target of 2035 for creating these natural areas. It’s an ambitious goal: in the past 10 years the Trust has done similar work, but only for around 250 square kilometres. If joined together, the landscapes it plans to create would cover an area bigger than the Lake District National Park.
The charity’s focus will be restoring peatland (watery habitats containing a soil-like material called peat) and improving the quality of rivers. It aims to improve the health of enough soil to provide homes for one billion earthworms.
The National Trust also aims to reconnect natural areas that have been broken into separate bits, such as a road cutting a forest in half. Known as habitat fragmentation, this is often caused by humans and harms animals by making it hard for them to feed and raise families.
The new landscapes will help tackle climate change by protecting plants and peat. These both absorb carbon dioxide from the air. This is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures and climate change.
The plans are aimed at land already owned by the National Trust, as well as nearby areas and land that it plans to buy. Examples include linking an area of disused farmland in Merseyside, England, to a nearby area of forest. There are also plans to link two areas of protected land that are 10 miles apart in England’s Shropshire Hills. This should help breeding curlews. The charity aims to work with farmers and landowners to help them boost nature on their land.
“We will ramp up our work to restore nature, both on our own land and beyond our boundaries,” said Hilary McGrady, director-general of the National Trust.
8．What does the National Trust aim to do for the next ten years
A．Protect all forests in the U.K. B．Increase the natural areas by tenfold.
C．Enlarge the peatland by 10%. D．Expand Lake District National Park.
9．What harm does “habitat fragmentation” do
A．Separating natural areas into small parts. B．Threatening the survival of animals.
C．Restricting human’s regular movement. D．Transforming forests into farmland.
10．What will the Trust do to create new landscapes
A．Connect smaller areas of land. B．Replant crops on disused farmland.
C．Till the land in mountain areas. D．Link the roads that cut the forests.
11．What is the text mainly about
A．The history of the National Trust. B．The benefits of natural landscapes.
C．The Trust’s efforts to cut emissions. D．The Trust’s plans to restore nature.

In an era when the average person checks their smartphone nearly 144 times a day, devoting oneself to a lengthy novel or complex piece of literature has become uncommon. The digital revolution(革命), while bringing easy access to information, has degraded our capacity for deep reading.
Deep reading is more than just processing words on a page. It’s an experience that involves critical thinking, empathy, and knowledge exploration. This form of reading allows individuals to engage with complex ideas and connect emotionally with texts. Historically, deep reading has been instrumental in education and personal development, cultivating a person capable of critical thought and innovation.
In a digital age, the way we consume information has dramatically changed. For instance, social media platforms are designed to catch our attention through endless browsing and bite-sized content. This design can weaken our patience for longer, more demanding texts. A study from Microsoft Corp. suggested that the human attention span has decreased from 12 seconds in 2000 to about 8 seconds today, highlighting how digital media affects our ability to concentrate.
In the digital landscape, attention has become what companies compete for, often employing strategies that disturb our attention span. Notices, advertisements, and big data-based content make it difficult for readers to find the uninterrupted time necessary for deep reading.
Our brains are remarkably adaptable, and the way we process information can change with our habits. Neuroscientists(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)科學(xué)家)have found that regular internet use can rewire neural pathways, favoring quick decision-making and surface processing over deep thinking. The Internet encourages rapid, distracted sampling of small bits of information from many sources—a mode of thinking that is contrary to deep reading.
The decline in deep reading doesn’t just affect individual cognition (認(rèn)知). It has broader societal consequences. In education, students used to surface-level reading may struggle with texts that require analysis and critical thinking. This trend can lead to a workforce less prepared for jobs that demand deep understanding and problem-solving skills.
12．Why does deep reading matter according to paragraph 2
A．It enhances reflective ability.
B．It simplifies knowledge exploration.
C．It accelerates information processing.
D．It encourages social media engagement.
13．Why do companies apply data-driven business strategies
A．To boost educational content.
B．To create better reading environments.
C．To encourage uninterrupted reading sessions.
D．To compete for attention in the digital landscape.
14．What problem arises from declining deep reading
A．Reduction in social cognition.
B．Overuse of digital texts.
C．Difficulty in critical analysis.
D．Shortage of learning resources.
15．Which is the most suitable title for the passage
A．Deep Reading: A Lost Art in the Digital Age.
B．The Forgotten Skill: Deep Reading in Education.
C．Digital Revolution: Changing the Way We Learn.
D．Information Revolution: Simplifying Knowledge.
閱讀下列短文，從給出的7個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出5個(gè)最佳選項(xiàng)。
On social media platforms, we can easily express our opinions without considering possible consequences. 16 . So try mastering the art of social media manners with our guide on responsible posting.
In social media, the principle “Think Before You Post” serves as a vital reminder of our responsibility. Before hitting that “post” button, take a moment to reflect on what you say. 17 A seemingly harmless joke might hurt someone with a different sense of humor.
Understanding your audience is also key. Imagine being at a party. Would you discuss the same topics with your grandmother as with your classmates Probably not. 18 Each social media platform has its own unique audience and culture. Be mindful of your audience. Are they mostly family or professional contacts These factors can guide your posts.
19 Just because something is available to you doesn’t mean it’s meant for public consumption. If you encounter someone’s sensitive information, it’s your responsibility to maintain secrecy, whether it’s a video from a closed-door party, or even something as simple as labelling them in a post.
Engaging in constructive conversations is another crucial aspect of social media manners. The digital world is where you can learn, grow and broaden your horizons. In digital discussions, remember the golden rule: treat others as you want to be treated. It’s perfectly fine to disagree, but how you handle that disagreement truly matters. Avoid personal attacks. 20 . Express your thoughts in a respectful and constructive manner. Furthermore, be open to different viewpoints, which will offer you new insights and enrich your understanding of the world.
A．Instead, focus on the issue at hand.
B．Do they correspond with your values
C．Make it a point not to disclose others’ privacy.
D．Never have your digital footprint left for good.
E．Could it be misinterpreted or taken out of context
F．Yet this carefree posting practice can lead to harm.
G．The same principle applies to your digital interactions.

WangXimeng (1096-1119) was a famous but short-lived painter with only one of his masterpieces 36 (survive) as One Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains. Painted on silk, this monumental work (51.5 cm high × 11.92 m long) uses simple materials — ink and mineral pigments. Despite its material simplicity, the painting’s composition is 37 (remarkable) complex. It unfolds like a panoramic (全景式的) story of a Southern Chinese landscape, presented with an accuracy 38 hints at Wang’s deep roots in the region.
The landscape is divided into six mountain sections separated by water, occasionally linked by bridges. Featuring houses, trees, and figures from shifting viewpoints, it creates a dynamic visual flow, much 39 watching scenery pass by through a train window. The viewer unrolls it right to left, experiencing continuous daily activities.

Brilliant blue dominates the mountains’ peaks, bold green covers valleys, and pale brown implies bases. This color-centric approach masterfully 41 (employ) light, shade, and texture for depth and atmosphere, prioritizing color over line.
The painting demands unique viewer interaction due to its vast scale 42 minute detail. It requires three distinct viewings: far to grasp its grandeur, close to examine 43 (refine) features, and mid-distance to appreciate its overall impact. This layered engagement deepens the connection, making the landscape feel completely alive.
Ultimately, through its expansive size, rich colors, and 44 (express) details, the masterpiece emits qi (vital energy), offering a profound exploration of the visible world. It invites viewers 45 (involve)themselves fully, discovering new horizons with each encounter.

“Mommy! Mommy!” Lily called out, skipping into the kitchen with her pigtails (馬尾辮) bouncing and a flush of excitement reddening her cheeks. “Guess what! Mr. Carter, my teacher, started a ‘Kindness Garden’ on the bullet in board. Every time someone does something kind or helpful, they get to add a flower with their name on it!”
“That sounds wonderful,” Mommy said, wiping her hands on a towel. “Did you do something kind today ” Lily’s smile faded slightly. “No, but Emma did. She helped clean up the art supplies after class. I really wish I could do something kind tomorrow!”
The next day at school, Jake earned a flower for sharing his crayons, and Sophia got one for comforting a classmate who was upset. But Lily didn’t receive a flower. The following morning didn’t start well either. Lily accidentally knocked over her juice at breakfast, and it spilled all over the table. “I’ll never get a flower like this,” she thought with a sigh.
Later that afternoon, Mr. Carter handed back the science quizzes (測驗(yàn)) from the day before. “Class, only one person got every question right. Great job, Lily! Come and pick out a flower for the Kindness Garden.” Lily’s heart leapt. “Yay!” she cheered, beaming (眉開眼笑) as she taped her flower onto the board.
After school, she raced home, holding her quiz tightly in her hand. “Mommy! Mommy! Look what I got!” she shouted excitedly, waving the paper proudly. Mommy also felt happy and praised her.
That night, as Lily stared at her perfect score again, her eyes suddenly caught a tiny mistake. One of her answers was wrong, but Mr. Carter had marked it correct. Her heart flinched with guilt and confusion. “Oh no… Mommy, look! I didn’t actually get everything right!” Mommy sat beside her and said gently, “Well, sweetheart, it seems you have a choice to make.” “But I don’t want to lose my flower!” Lily whispered, her lower lip trembling. “You know what’s right, Lily,” Mommy said, hugging her. “And I believe you’ll choose wisely.”
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150個(gè)左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題紙的相應(yīng)位置作答。
The next morning, Lily dragged her feet to school, her heart heavy.
