Chinese writing has ancient roots, which is thought to have developed starting around 2000 B. C.ArabicOver 370 million people speak Arabic. Written Arabic uses a cursive-style font (连笔) that looks more like artworks than writing. Arabic is written from right to left rather than left to right, making it different from many other languages.EnglishAround 379 million people speak English as a native language. It’s an official language in a huge number of other countries.English is the most widely spoken second language, with over a billion people speaking it as a non-native language. That means around twice as many people speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language.ItalianNearly 68 million people speak Italian.

But Valentina left her beloved doll behind by chance during a flight earlier this summer. Rudy and Dominguez, Valentina’s parents, tried everything they could to reunite their daughter with her best friend, Beatrice. “Beatrice means a lot to me. She brings me happiness and she’s my best friend,” Valentina said. “When she was missing, I felt like my heart was broken.”When finding Beatrice was lost, the Texas family immediately searched everywhere for the lost doll with brown hair, including their travel bags, without success. They remembered seeing her on the plane so they called the airline (航空公司), and then sent an email to it. The family also spread the message about the lost doll on the Internet — a message that finally reached pilot James, a first officer for American Airlines who lives not far from Plano. James said he got the chance to help young Valentina locate (定位) Beatrice, who was last seen on July 20 on a plane in Tokyo, where the family had a stopover (中途停留) on their flight back home from Bali, Indonesia. James said he got in touch with the Airlines’ Lost and Found at Haneda Airport in Tokyo and was able to locate the missing doll after two tries. He then took photos with Beatrice in various airports and on flights as he carried her back home to Valentina in Plano, over 5,800 miles away. One Monday, James drove to the Texas family to return Beatrice to Valentina in person. They were all moved for what James had done.4. What can we know about Valentina?A. She was sad at losing Beatrice. B. She has brown hair.C. She loved taking photos with Beatrice. D. She lives in Tokyo.5. What did the Texas family do first when finding Beatrice lost?A. They sent an email to the airline. B. They got in touch with James.C. They searched their travel bags. D. They spread the message online.6. How did Valentina get her doll back?A. She found it at home. B. James sent it back in person.C. She got it from the waiting room. D. Her parents discovered it on the plane.7. How did the Texas family feel about James act?A. Encouraged. B. Confident. C. Calm. D. Thankful.CSometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.8. Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1?A. To list examples. B. To make a warning.C. To lead in the topic. D. To provide background information.9 What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study?A. Chores. B. Less homework.C. School activities. D. Learning schedules.10. What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4?A. Tired. B. Nervous. C. Having no time. D. Having the ability.11. What does this text focus on?A. Skills to deal with chores. B. Advantages of doing chores.C. The importance of life skills. D. Way s to balance study and chores.DSpending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health. Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth. Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging. Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.12. What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening?A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear D. Uncaring.13. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening?A. It improves focus. B. It is a waste of time.C. It can keep a body in shape. D. It helps to reduce the risk of diseases.14. How does gardening affect social connection according to the text?A. It contributes to creativity. B. It encourages problem-solving.C It builds relationships between people. D. It improves people’s awareness of safety.15. What is the best title for the text?A. How to Start a Garden B. Choose a Garden or NotC. What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D. Start Gardening and Get the Health Benefits第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。There are ways to make friends online while also keeping yourself protected.

He asked Cary to sit down in the office, handing her some tissues, and then asked Cary to tell all the unpleasant things that had happened at school. After Cary poured out her unhappiness, Jared comforted, “You should never keep silent when unhappy things happen at school, and since your academic performance is excellent, why not choose to help the students who are not good at study? I believe you can make good friends with them gradually. ” After that, Jared led Cary into the classroom and told his students a story about his own childhood that was similar to Cary’s.
