When I was a kid, my two cousins and I would take turns staying with my grandparents in Waycross, GA, for a week at a time during summer vacation. We saw them often throughout the year, but we always looked forward to that special week of one-on-one time with them, because they spoiled us with love, not gifts. Both were very special to me, but especially my grandfather, whom I was named after.
He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a local official for Ware County for several years、worked in the grocery store (雜貨店), cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my grandmother worked. As a boy, between the ages of 6 and 14, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how effortlessly he changed from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the grocery store, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered. He had many friends who visited the grocery store just to talk to him, and I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown-up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks.
It seemed like every time I stayed with them, in the evening we would visit someone who was sick or attend a viewing for someone who had passed away. Despite his blindness, my grandfather never let it slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. There was just no end to how much he loved everyone. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still ring in my ears today. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say, “I can’t do that,” because I knew a blind man who never spoke those words.
4. What does the underlined word “Both” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The cousins. B. My grandparents.
C. The gifts and love. D. My wonderful memories.
5. What can be inferred from paragraph 2
A. Customers would give grandpa tips.
B. The author helped in the store for free snacks.
C. The author felt sorry for his grandpa’s blindness.
D The grandpa adapted well to blindness in daily life.
6. Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather
A. Open-minded and selfless. B. Self-driven and patient.
C. Hard-working and generous. D. Kind-hearted and independent.
7. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. An Unfortunate Blind Man. B. Summer Weeks with My Grandparents.
C. Grandfather’s Unseen Lessons. D. Childhood Memories in a Grocery Store.

This year, the Chinese animated film Nezha2 has taken the global box office by storm, achieving widespread praise and leading to a travel boom across the country. The “China Movie Consumption Year” campaign started this April nationwide, inviting audiences not only into theaters but also onto movie-inspired journeys across the country.
On April 19, a special train called “Yichun” set off from Harbin in China’s Heilongjiang Province, carrying more than 100 tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries on an immersive (身臨其境的) tour that combined cinema and travel. Organized by the National Film Administration and the China State Railway Group, this “film + tourism” train project aims to create new travel experiences by combining film culture with rail tourism. With the convenience of China’s railway network, the program connects movie scenes with real-world destinations, offering travelers a unique cultural adventure. Once on board, travelers can enjoy screenings of classic historical and documentary films, music from popular movies, poster exhibitions, cultural souvenirs, and interactive film-themed activities — all while taking in scenic views and tasting local food.
What sets this journey apart is its immersive experience: passengers can visit actual filming locations along the route and engage in discussions on movies, bringing cinema to life in an engaging way. This approach has proven to be particularly appealing to younger audiences and international visitors. “This journey was truly unforgettable and absolutely fantastic. It showcased the global appeal of Chinese cinema and culture,” Prayut, one of the passengers on this trip, said.
“Traveling China through film” is more than just a journey — it’s a deep cultural encounter. When movies guide the route and the journey brings the movies to life, the combination of film and tourism opens new chapters in cultural exploration.
8. What do we know about the train “Yichun”
A. It runs across many countries.
B. It offers tourists film-themed experiences.
C. It shows Chinese railway achievements.
D. It is the most comfortable train in China.
9. What makes this train journey special
A. It has the most advanced railway technology.
B. It offers free cultural souvenirs to passengers.
C. It creates an immersive film-travel experience.
D. It provides shooting training at filming locations.
10. What is the core value of “Traveling China through film”
A. Bringing movies to life. B. Bridging film and tourism.
C. Improving film technology. D. Promoting cross-cultural exploration.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To recommend a popular Chinese film.
B. To demonstrate the richness of Chinese culture.
C. To introduce a new cultural-tourism form in China.
D. To praise the convenience of Chinese transportation.

Walk into any home or workplace today, and you’re likely to find masses of indoor plants. People have grown plants inside for thousands of years. The practice was particularly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, likely due to a desire to connect with nature when access to outdoor green spaces was limited.
People keep indoor plants inside for a variety of reasons, including as decoration, to clean the air and for stress relief. But researchers at the University of South Australia wanted to explore further. They surveyed 1155 Australian adults and found that the benefits of indoor plants go beyond nature connection. More than half of the participants said indoor plants could increase positive emotions and relieve tiredness. Nearly 30 percent thought the benefits include cleaning air and reducing stress. Other less commonly reported benefits were helping set habits, raising productivity and even decreasing physical discomfort such as pain.
However, people have various levels of connection to their plants. The research identified four types of relationships people have with their indoor plants: 18% of participants are highly connected — these people typically described a deep personal connection to their plants; 45% engaged — these people enjoyed and took care of their plants, but without deep emotional attachment; 25% limited engagement — these people enjoyed having indoor plants but spent the least time caring for them and reported the least emotional connections; 12% no relationship — these people did not have a relationship with their indoor plants.
“The research suggests indoor plants can enrich our lives in ways we are only beginning to understand. Although further research is needed in the post-pandemic context, the research may help unlock the potential (潛力) for nature to improve our health and well-being by understanding the benefits of plants and the relationship between people and nature,” says Katie Davis, one of the researchers.
12. How did the pandemic affect the growing of indoor plants
A. It increased the cost to grow indoor plants.
B. It stimulated more people to grow indoor plants.
C. It weakened people’s interest in outdoor gardening.
D. It pushed people to decorate homes with indoor plants.
13. What benefits can indoor plants offer according to most participants
A. Cleaning the air and reducing stress.
B. Decreasing physical pain and discomfort.
C. Helping set habits and improving productivity.
D. Promoting positive emotions and relieving tiredness.
14. Which relationship type matches “I name my plants and chat with them daily.”
A. The highly connected type. B. The engaged type.
C. The limited engagement type. D. The non-interactive type.
15. What is Davis’s attitude towards the research
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unclear.

Feeling low is a universal human experience, which often exists in everyday emotions. It might come from stress, disappointment, loneliness, or even unexplained shifts in brain chemistry. ____16____. The following simple and cheap strategies will help to lift your spirits.
Move your body
One of the most powerful and accessible solutions might be simpler than you think: exercise. Beyond its physical benefits, movement has a profound ability to boost mental health. Any form of exercise releases endorphins into your body, which can lift your mood. Movements force you to focus on the present: the rhythm (節奏) of your breath, the feel of your feet hitting the ground, the stretch of your muscles. ____17____.
Talk to someone
When life feels heavy, words can be the bridge that carries us back to lightness. Human connection, whether through a heartfelt conversation or casual chat, can help you reduce loneliness, gain perspective and feel a bit better. You can talk to your trusted loved ones, such as your friends, family, or partners who listen without judgment. ____18____. If you’ve been feeling low for more than two weeks, or your mood is affecting how you cope at work or home, don’t hesitate to talk to your clinical psychologist.
____19____
Focusing on someone else’s needs breaks the cycle of negative self-talk. Every tiny gesture reminds you that you matter and can make a difference. When you do a favor to others and make them feel happy, you have a sense of achievement in your heart. It doesn’t need to be something extraordinary. ____20____. So why not offer to help with your neighbour’s gardening, volunteer for a new community project or bake a cake for a friend
A. Try something unusual.
B. Do a small act of kindness.
C. Whatever the cause it deserves our attention.
D. Some small things in daily life will do the trick.
E. It’s a normal emotion that you can ignore easily.
F. Thus, it can help you stay away from negative thought patterns.
G. Additionally, turning to some professionals is also very necessary.

Panic briefly seized the group, but they adjusted their mood immediately and rushed to his aid. Jack was annoyed at the unexpected turn of events but in a second, he joined in the rescue to get Tom out. However, the pit was deeper than it seemed. Their several attempts to pull him up seemed in vain. They felt a bit discouraged, but they knew they couldn’t give up.
With perseverance, they looked for other possible ways. Then, an idea came to Jack. They could tie the ropes they had brought into one, making it long enough so that Tom could catch it. Gradually, they managed to get Tom closer to the edge. Meanwhile, they shouted words of encouragement, urging Tom to stay calm and keep his strength up.
Finally, they pulled Tom out. Exhaustion washed over them, but it was quickly replaced by a great sense of relief. However, their troubles were far from over. They soon realized they were lost in the cave and they had to find a way out before their lights went out.

When I was a kid, my two cousins and I would take turns staying with my grandparents in Waycross, GA, for a week at a time during summer vacation. We saw them often throughout the year, but we always looked forward to that special week of one-on-one time with them, because they spoiled us with love, not gifts. Both were very special to me, but especially my grandfather, whom I was named after.
He became blind around 20 years of age, yet his blindness never slowed him down. He served as a local official for Ware County for several years、worked in the grocery store (雜貨店), cooked lunch, and washed dishes while my grandmother worked. As a boy, between the ages of 6 and 14, I would watch him closely, studying how he moved around the house from room to room as if he could see. I was impressed by how effortlessly he changed from cooking to washing the dishes, never missing a beat. At the grocery store, customers would give him money, and he would return the correct change and provide them exactly what they ordered. He had many friends who visited the grocery store just to talk to him, and I enjoyed helping out, feeling grown-up as I handed customers their drinks and snacks.
It seemed like every time I stayed with them, in the evening we would visit someone who was sick or attend a viewing for someone who had passed away. Despite his blindness, my grandfather never let it slow him down or stop him from working and caring for others. There was just no end to how much he loved everyone. During those weeks, he taught me many lessons that still ring in my ears today. I’m grateful for the time I spent with him. To this day, I dislike hearing someone say, “I can’t do that,” because I knew a blind man who never spoke those words.
4. What does the underlined word “Both” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. The cousins. B. My grandparents.
C. The gifts and love. D. My wonderful memories.
5. What can be inferred from paragraph 2

6. Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather
A. Open-minded and selfless. B. Self-driven and patient.
C. Hard-working and generous. D. Kind-hearted and independent.
7. What is the most suitable title for the text

This year, the Chinese animated film Nezha2 has taken the global box office by storm, achieving widespread praise and leading to a travel boom across the country. The “China Movie Consumption Year” campaign started this April nationwide, inviting audiences not only into theaters but also onto movie-inspired journeys across the country.
On April 19, a special train called “Yichun” set off from Harbin in China’s Heilongjiang Province, carrying more than 100 tourists from Singapore, Malaysia, and other countries on an immersive (身臨其境的) tour that combined cinema and travel. Organized by the National Film Administration and the China State Railway Group, this “film + tourism” train project aims to create new travel experiences by combining film culture with rail tourism. With the convenience of China’s railway network, the program connects movie scenes with real-world destinations, offering travelers a unique cultural adventure. Once on board, travelers can enjoy screenings of classic historical and documentary films, music from popular movies, poster exhibitions, cultural souvenirs, and interactive film-themed activities — all while taking in scenic views and tasting local food.
What sets this journey apart is its immersive experience: passengers can visit actual filming locations along the route and engage in discussions on movies, bringing cinema to life in an engaging way. This approach has proven to be particularly appealing to younger audiences and international visitors. “This journey was truly unforgettable and absolutely fantastic. It showcased the global appeal of Chinese cinema and culture,” Prayut, one of the passengers on this trip, said.
“Traveling China through film” is more than just a journey — it’s a deep cultural encounter. When movies guide the route and the journey brings the movies to life, the combination of film and tourism opens new chapters in cultural exploration.
8. What do we know about the train “Yichun”
A. It runs across many countries.
B. It offers tourists film-themed experiences.
C. It shows Chinese railway achievements.
D. It is the most comfortable train in China.
9. What makes this train journey special
A. It has the most advanced railway technology.
B. It offers free cultural souvenirs to passengers.
C. It creates an immersive film-travel experience.
D. It provides shooting training at filming locations.
10. What is the core value of “Traveling China through film”
A. Bringing movies to life. B. Bridging film and tourism.
C. Improving film technology. D. Promoting cross-cultural exploration.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A. To recommend a popular Chinese film.
B. To demonstrate the richness of Chinese culture.
C. To introduce a new cultural-tourism form in China.
D. To praise the convenience of Chinese transportation.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. C

Walk into any home or workplace today, and you’re likely to find masses of indoor plants. People have grown plants inside for thousands of years. The practice was particularly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, likely due to a desire to connect with nature when access to outdoor green spaces was limited.
People keep indoor plants inside for a variety of reasons, including as decoration, to clean the air and for stress relief. But researchers at the University of South Australia wanted to explore further. They surveyed 1155 Australian adults and found that the benefits of indoor plants go beyond nature connection. More than half of the participants said indoor plants could increase positive emotions and relieve tiredness. Nearly 30 percent thought the benefits include cleaning air and reducing stress. Other less commonly reported benefits were helping set habits, raising productivity and even decreasing physical discomfort such as pain.
However, people have various levels of connection to their plants. The research identified four types of relationships people have with their indoor plants: 18% of participants are highly connected — these people typically described a deep personal connection to their plants; 45% engaged — these people enjoyed and took care of their plants, but without deep emotional attachment; 25% limited engagement — these people enjoyed having indoor plants but spent the least time caring for them and reported the least emotional connections; 12% no relationship — these people did not have a relationship with their indoor plants.
“The research suggests indoor plants can enrich our lives in ways we are only beginning to understand. Although further research is needed in the post-pandemic context, the research may help unlock the potential (潛力) for nature to improve our health and well-being by understanding the benefits of plants and the relationship between people and nature,” says Katie Davis, one of the researchers.
12. How did the pandemic affect the growing of indoor plants
A. It increased the cost to grow indoor plants.
B. It stimulated more people to grow indoor plants.
C. It weakened people’s interest in outdoor gardening.
D. It pushed people to decorate homes with indoor plants.
13. What benefits can indoor plants offer according to most participants
A. Cleaning the air and reducing stress.
B. Decreasing physical pain and discomfort.
C. Helping set habits and improving productivity.
D. Promoting positive emotions and relieving tiredness.
14. Which relationship type matches “I name my plants and chat with them daily.”
A. The highly connected type. B. The engaged type.
C. The limited engagement type. D. The non-interactive type.
15. What is Davis’s attitude towards the research
A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. A

Feeling low is a universal human experience, which often exists in everyday emotions. It might come from stress, disappointment, loneliness, or even unexplained shifts in brain chemistry. ____16____. The following simple and cheap strategies will help to lift your spirits.
Move your body
One of the most powerful and accessible solutions might be simpler than you think: exercise. Beyond its physical benefits, movement has a profound ability to boost mental health. Any form of exercise releases endorphins into your body, which can lift your mood. Movements force you to focus on the present: the rhythm (節奏) of your breath, the feel of your feet hitting the ground, the stretch of your muscles. ____17____.
Talk to someone
When life feels heavy, words can be the bridge that carries us back to lightness. Human connection, whether through a heartfelt conversation or casual chat, can help you reduce loneliness, gain perspective and feel a bit better. You can talk to your trusted loved ones, such as your friends, family, or partners who listen without judgment. ____18____. If you’ve been feeling low for more than two weeks, or your mood is affecting how you cope at work or home, don’t hesitate to talk to your clinical psychologist.
____19____
Focusing on someone else’s needs breaks the cycle of negative self-talk. Every tiny gesture reminds you that you matter and can make a difference. When you do a favor to others and make them feel happy, you have a sense of achievement in your heart. It doesn’t need to be something extraordinary. ____20____. So why not offer to help with your neighbour’s gardening, volunteer for a new community project or bake a cake for a friend
A. Try something unusual.
B. Do a small act of kindness.
C. Whatever the cause it deserves our attention.
D. Some small things in daily life will do the trick.
E. It’s a normal emotion that you can ignore easily.
F. Thus, it can help you stay away from negative thought patterns.
G. Additionally, turning to some professionals is also very necessary.
