A
The online world is like a jungle — full of interesting things to discover, people to meet, and places to explore. However, it’s important to remember that there are hidden dangers that many young people may not notice right away. To better understand these risks, an institute has analyzed 5.6 billion online activities over the past decade, revealing shocking facts about teens’ unsafe online interactions. Here is the result.
How To Set Up Privacy Settings
Check privacy settings on every app and site you use. Most platforms hide them in the account menu, but these settings help you control who can find you and see your posts. To make things easier, here’s a simple checklist you can use on most social media platforms.
Setting What to do
Profile visibility Set to friends only
Search visibility Turn off public search
Photo tagging Approve tags (标记) before they show up
Contact sync (同步) Don’t let the app auto-add friends
Ad tracking Turn off personalized ads
Think Before You Post
Once it’s online, it could be there forever-even if you delete it. Screenshots exist, and people can save what you share. So, don’t post personal information for everyone to see, such as your full name, school, home address, phone number, or your current location. Before you post, it is recommended that you ask yourself:
● Would I care if my parents see this?
● Could this mess up my reputation later?
● Am I giving away too much?
● Could someone use this info to find me or hurt me?
21. What online behavior among teens saw the highest growth rate from 2014 to 2025?
A. Using personal photos as avatars. B. Sharing private information online.
C. Responding to messages from strangers. D. Meeting online-only contacts in person.
22. Which setting allows only your friends to see your posted photos?
A. Contact sync. B. Search visibility.
C. Photo tagging. D. Profile visibility.
23. What advice does the author give teenagers about online behavior?
A. Protecting personal privacy. B. Accepting parental monitoring.
C. Building a good online reputation. D. Deleting posted information regularly.

British man David Ferguson holds more than one identity. Though better known for his translations of Chinese classics and government documents, his connection with China began around two decades ago.
He first came to China in 2004 to visit his future in-laws in Jilin. Two years later, he moved to China and soon discovered a striking contrast between the reality he witnessed and the narrative presented by certain Western media. It was then that he resolved to become a journalist and share what he truly saw in person.
During his years of reporting, one of his most memorable experiences is one in Nantong, where he encountered self-made business people in the textile (纺织) industry who built international enterprises out of nothing. “In the early 1970s, one of them travelled to Romania with a backpack of pillowcases and tablecloths. Knowing little Romanian, he penciled the pronunciation of the words in Chinese pinyin so that he could communicate,” Ferguson recalled. “They make me understand why Chinese people are successful in business, and why China has a successful economy.”
In 2010, Ferguson joined the Foreign Languages Press, and has since authored several books introducing Chinese cities. According to him, China’s remarkable achievements and prosperity (繁荣) over the past decades are also due to its stable social and economic system. Besides, as a senior editor, his job is to carefully compare and refine the translations of the Chinese texts, ensuring that they gain the broadest recognition in the English context.
In 2023, David Ferguson was awarded the Orchid Awards, a recognition to international friends for enhancing cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. As he stated in his acceptance speech, among the people who built the Forbidden City, there were craftsmen, and there were also those who helped them carry materials. “Translators are the wood carriers,” he said, “What we build is development, prosperity and world peace.”
24. Why did Ferguson decide to become a journalist?
A. To pursue a career in China. B. To present a true image of China.
C. To introduce Chinese culture. D. To compare China and the West.
25. What factors contributed to China’s economic success, according to Ferguson?
A. Chinese people’s drive and creativity. B. Chinese people’s vision and honesty.
C. Chinese people’s courage and integrity. D. Chinese people’s generosity and patience.
26. Why did Ferguson compare translators to “wood carriers”?
A. They play a crucial but hidden role. B. They take on minor responsibilities.
C. They do heavy and continuous work. D. They support professional exchanges.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A True Story Behind Western Media
B. A Secret of China’s Rapid Development
C. A Foreigner’s Passion for Academic Exchange
D. A British Man’s Devotion to Documenting China
C
Museums have long been considered as cultural storehouses that preserve and exhibit history, art and scientific discoveries. Yet, while some children frequently visit museums with their families, others — especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds — may never have the opportunity to engage with these rich cultural resources. This disparity can create gaps in cultural knowledge, academic engagement and even self-confidence.
Professor Anik Meunier at the Université du Québec à Montréal studies how museum visits can enhance student engagement in the classroom and address social inequalities. She has established the School at the Museum program with her colleagues to integrate museum education into the school curriculum (课程) for primary and secondary schools in Montreal. “Research indicates that actions aimed at improving educational success must be carried out regularly and at a pace that allows the acquisition of new attitudes, understandings or behaviours among the target population,” explains Anik. To this end, School at the Museum organises regular visits to museums throughout the year. This provides students with consistent opportunities to engage with cultural and educational resources outside the classroom.
Anik and her colleagues found that students who attended museums showed greater emotional, behavioural and cognitive engagement than before. They observed that the visits created a stronger sense of connection to the museum environment and its resources, enriching students’ cultural knowledge and expanding their vocabulary. Most importantly, after participating in School at the Museum, students who had had little prior exposure to museums displayed equal engagement to their classmates who had visited museums with family or friends.
“To make the most of the educational value, one of the most important aspects of planning a museum trip is choosing the right museum and program for students’ needs. Most museums offer age-specific educational programs for school groups,” says Anik. “A visit to a museum can relate closely to courses in many subjects, such as history, science and art, and stimulate interdisciplinary approaches.”
28. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph l refer to?
A. The lack of scientific resources. B. The difference in cultural backgrounds.
C. The unequal chance to access museums. D. The uneven level of family involvement.
29. What is the goal of the School at the Museum program?
A. To deepen students’ insight into education. B. To enhance learning through museum visits.
C. To raise awareness of the value of museums. D. To promote students’ classroom engagement.
30. What is the function of paragraph 3?
A. Showing potential application of the finding. B. Offering additional background information.
C. Giving examples to introduce the program. D. Providing evidence to support the research.
31. What message does Anik try to convey in the last paragraph?
A. Turning a museum trip into an active lesson with good planning.
B. Involving more school students in various museum programs.
C. Making school subjects more popular with young museum-goers.
D. Stimulating students’ interest in planning a suitable museum visit.
D
For years, media headlines have described a serious situation regarding bee populations. They frequently warn that a global decline in bee species is just around the corner. But is it as straightforward as it appears? In fact, bee numbers tell a tale of two trends.
In the United States, bee populations have encountered significant obstacles in recent decades. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), since the 1960s the number of honeybee colonies in the United States has dropped significantly from around 5.5 million to approximately 2.5 million. In contrast to the declines observed in the West, some Asian countries have experienced stable or even growing bee populations. Several factors contribute to this positive trend: diverse natural landscapes, mild climates, and the expansion of commercial beekeeping. For instance, China — the world’s largest honey producer — has significantly expanded its managed honeybee populations to meet growing global demand, which helps make up for declines in wild bee populations.
The idea of a global bee population collapse may not fully reflect the complexity of the situation. While some regions are experiencing alarming losses, others are seeing increases, demonstrating that active and effective measures can lead to positive outcomes. Regions facing declines can stabilize and even restore their bee populations by carrying out stronger conservation policies and sustainable farming practices. Key measures include the use of health-boosting treatments to strengthen bees’ immunity against pests and diseases, and the protection of diverse floral habitats to ensure a continuous and abundant food supply throughout the year. Meanwhile, countries experiencing population growth must remain alert to emerging threats to safeguard their long-term ecological progress and stability.
Bees play a vital role in global food security and biodiversity. Their future depends on our collective ability to adapt, innovate, and protect their habitats. Instead of focusing only on declines, we should also learn from and follow the success stories of growing bee populations around the world.
32. What is the author’s attitude toward media reports on bee population?
A. Fully supportive. B. Cautiously balanced.
C. Highly defensive. D. Openly dismissive.
33. What has led to the growth of bee populations in some Asian countries?
A. The diverse and growing number of wild bee populations.
B. The development of new technology in the beekeeping industry.
C. The favorable environment and the growing beekeeping industry.
D. The rising global demand for wild bee honey and its by-products.
34. What can be inferred about the efforts to address bee population decline?
A. Current measures have limited impact.
B. Scientific creativity plays a leading role.
C. Economic growth worsens ecological problems.
D. Targeted actions help turn around negative trends.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To give a detailed report on changes in bee populations.
B. To raise a warning about the collapse of bee populations.
C. To clarify trends in bee populations and suggest solutions.
D. To outline the problems in beekeeping and analyze the causes.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Gardening season is in full bloom, but keeping track of which seedling (幼苗) is which can be really tricky. Enter DIY oven-bake clay garden markers — these little lifesavers aren’t just practical; they also add a special charm to your greenery.
To kick off your garden marker project, you’ll need to get hands-on with some oven-bake clay. Start by kneading (揉捏) a piece of clay in your hands for a few minutes — think of it as a mini workout for your fingers. 36 Then, place it on the baking sheet and roll it out evenly to about 1/4 inch thick.
37 You might go for a classic straight marker with a pointed end to stick directly into the soil, or perhaps you’re feeling a bit more adventurous and want to create a round or heart shape with a hole to hang from a metal post.
Then give your garden markers some personality! Grab your favorite rubber stamps and press them firmly into the clay to make an impression. You can stamp the names of your plants, like “basil” or “tomatoes”, to keep things organized. 38
Now that your garden markers are looking great, it’s time to set them in stone. Follow the instructions on the clay package for baking. Generally, bake the markers at a low temperature (around 275°F) for about 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. 39 Then, they’ll be ready to give your garden a stylish look!
Finally, decide on the finishing touches. 40 If you’re feeling fancy, a coat of paint can be applied for a long-lasting finish and shine. Whether you’re channeling your inner Picasso with bright colors or leaving them in their natural state to provide an earthy feel, which is equally charming, the choice is all yours.
A. Remember to keep an eye on it.
B. Allow them to cool completely afterward.
C. Add some fun and creativity to your garden.
D. This softens the clay and makes it more workable.
E. Now comes the fun part: shaping your garden markers!
F. You may smooth rough edges with sandpaper for a polished look.
G. It’s also a good idea to go wild with fun phrases like “potato wonderland”.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
On hot summer days, when high temperatures often reduce people’s appetite, cold desserts tend to sound far more refreshing than a bowl of hot noodles. In ancient China, nobles enjoyed a special cold food known as Sushan, 56 many scholars regard as the earliest form of ice cream.
The name Sushan, meaning crispy mountain, originally 57 (come) from its shape as well as its breakable structure. It looked like a small mountain of shaved ice 58 (combine) with milk, butter and sugar, and 59 (make) it more popular on special occasions, it was sometimes decorated with flowers and leaves.
During the Tang Dynasty, the emperor’s court 60 (far) developed this dessert. Milk was sweetened, sometimes thickened with flour, and then iced through advanced 61 (cool) methods. Metal containers holding the mixture were often placed in ice with saltpeter (硝石), 62 substance that lowers the freezing point of water. This technique made it possible for the upper class to enjoy cold dishes 63 the fact that the weather itself was not that cold.
Although Sushan was not exactly the same as modern ice cream, it shared several essential characteristics, and 64 (present) in a partly frozen state occasionally. It reflected not only the 65 (innovate) of ancient Chinese people, but also the special status that frozen desserts held in court life.

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。
Around 15 years ago, I was working at a care home in a small town. It was a nice residential home and everyone was treated well.
We had an elderly gentleman, John, who was lovely but a little lonely. His wife had passed away and he had no children. John had been a sailor in his youth, living his life with a mix of challenges and adventures. His bronzed, salt-kissed skin lined with deep wrinkles; roughened fingers followed invisible waves. An old jacket hung on his thin body, grey hair swept back as if blown by the sea wind. He often sat alone, seemingly lost in unshared memories of sea stories about his lonely life at sea.
We did our best for him but he started to get depressed and fed up with life. He often sighed softly, his eyes clouded with a sadness as if no comfort could ease it. He would go for walks around a nearby park every day with his walking stick, walking slowly along the path. I could see that he ached for someone to share his sea stories with, yet feared the awkward silence that might follow, leaving him more lonely than before.
One summer, he came back to the home upset. He said a group of teenagers wearing dark clothes hung around the park constantly — laughing loudly, playing loud music, and rushing about with wild, youthful energy. He said they were loud and he was frightened. He stopped going to the park for a few days but missed the walk too much.
On the day he went back, he said, “If I’m not back in an hour, come looking for me.” He wasn’t back in an hour. I gave it 10 more minutes. Then I was worried that he’d had an accident or had run into trouble of some kind. So I left someone else in charge and got to the park to find him.

But what I saw took me completely by surprise. John was surrounded by the very teenagers he had described as troublemakers. They were sitting on the grass, listening intently as John recounted his sea stories, their eyes wide with fascination. The loud music was gone, replaced by the gentle sound of John’s voice weaving tales of adventure and solitude on the high seas. The teenagers, who had once seemed so wild and unapproachable, were now captivated by John’s words, their expressions softening with each passing story.
When John saw me, he came up smiling, eager to tell me what had happened. He explained that when he had arrived at the park, the teenagers had initially been their usual boisterous selves. But as he began to speak, sharing snippets of his life as a sailor, they had gradually quieted down, drawn in by the authenticity and richness of his experiences. From that day on, John had a new group of friends, and the park became a place of connection rather than fear, where stories were shared and friendships were forged across generations.
