How to Plan a Panda Tour
There are many places to see lovely giant pandas in China. But the four panda bases around Chengdu are the best places to see giant pandas. Which one is best for you depends on how much time you have and what kind of experience you want to have.
If you just want to see giant pandas, we recommend you go to Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base. You can see pandas at all different ages from the oldest to the newborns. This base is huge but usually crowded. You can finish your trip in one day.
If you want a deeper panda experience, there are three recommended activities.
Join in a Panda Volunteer Program
Giant panda volunteer programs are available in three panda bases. Dujiangyan is the best place for a one-day program. If you want a less crowded environment, consider Wolong and Bifengxia, though they require 2 and 3 days respectively. Your work would include weighing and cleaning bamboo, making cakes for pandas, watching pandas being fed, and cleaning pandas’ enclosures（围栏）.
Join in a Red Panda Volunteer Program
Unlike with giant pandas, you can have a zero-distance encounter with red pandas—you can feed a group of them without a fence in between. If you are interested in red pandas, you can join in our red panda volunteer program.
Hike Into the Habitat of Wild Pandas
If you are a lover of pandas and outdoor activity as well, consider having a hike in wild panda habitat in Wolong. Go panda tracking, and see if you will be lucky enough to see a wild panda.
21. What is recommended for just a look at pandas
A. Getting involved in a panda volunteer program.
B. Visiting Chengdu Panda Breeding and Research Base.
C. Hiking into the habitat of wild pandas.
D. Joining in a red panda volunteer program.
22. What can people do in the Panda Volunteer Program
A. Help prepare food for pandas. B. Feed pandas personally.
C. Give pandas a bath. D. Enjoy delicious cakes.
23. What special experience might you get on a 2-day panda trip in Wolong
A. Seeing the beauty of Dujiangyan. B. Learning to set up pandas’ enclosures.
C. Encountering a wild panda. D. Playing with red pandas.
B
When you picture doing a science project, you might imagine looking through a microscope or building a model volcano. But science projects can be done anywhere. Many teens get inspired from playing musical instruments to doing gymnastics. All it takes to transform your favorite activities into a science project is identifying a problem you want to solve.
Elizabeth, 14, who is in seventh grade at Davis Drive Middle School in Cary, N. C, designed a program. Her method is based on the golden ratio（比例）. This ratio is often used to create pleasing parts in artworks. The ratio also appears in nature. Elizabeth’s data storage strategy helps computers write data evenly（均匀地）across memory devices. This could help such devices last longer.
“As long as I can remember, I’ve been an artistic person,” Elizabeth says, “In fourth grade, my art teacher taught us about the golden ratio. And at that point it was just, you know, something to use when we were painting.” But last year, Elizabeth had to replace the memory in her own computer, thinking the golden ratio might work in information storage, too. Elizabeth tested her golden-ratio technique by running programs on a computer.
But before this project, Elizabeth had no coding experience. To prepare, she spent months reading a textbook on how to code. She says, “It wasn’t like an ‘ah-ha’ moment. Writing programs is such a boring process. But it was just exciting to explore and see the computer actually just doing stuff that I told it to do after those hours.”
“Don’t limit yourself,” Elizabeth adds, “One of the biggest challenges you face is changing your mindset. I never thought that science or computer science would be my kind of thing, but after learning a bit about programming, I found that it was actually a new way to express myself. Words, painting, now programming.”
24. What can we learn about science projects according to this passage
A. They can come from different hobbies. B. They will inspire teens to find solutions.
C. They need skills in building models. D. They may involve great imagination.
25. What is Elizabeth’s programming used for
A. Strengthening memories. B. Storing information.
C. Creating fine works. D. Protecting nature.
26. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. Imagination is the source of creation. B. Laugh it off when facing difficulties.
C. Well begun is half done. D. Every effort will pay off.
27. What is Elizabeth doing with her words in the last paragraph
A. Expressing doubts. B. Making promises.
C. Offering advice. D. Giving response.
C
According to a new Agriculture Department report, U. S. forests could exacerbate global warming because they are being destroyed by natural disasters and are losing their ability to absorb planet-warming gases as they get older. The report predicts that the ability of forests to absorb carbon will start declining after 2025 and that forests could release up to 100 million metric tons of carbon a year as their emissions from decaying （腐烂）trees are beyond their carbon absorption. Forests could become a “substantial carbon source” by2070, the USDA report says.
The loss of carbon absorption is caused in part by natural disasters such as wildfires, tornadoes and hurricanes, which are increasing in frequency and strength as global temperatures rise. The disasters destroy forests, destroying their ecosystem and decreasing their ability to absorb carbon, according to Lynn Riley, a senior manager of climate science at the American Forest Foundation. Aging forests also contribute. The report found that older, mature trees absorb less carbon than younger trees of the same species, and U. S. forests are rapidly aging.
This trend is likely to continue, as forests come under increasing threat from climate change and exploitation（开采）. The typical tropical forest may become a carbon source by the 2060s, according to Simon Lewis, a professor in the school of geography at Leeds University. “Humans have been lucky so far, as tropical forests are cleaning up lots of our pollution, but they can’t keep doing that forever,” he said. “We need to cut down fossil fuel emissions before the global carbon cycle starts working against us.”
U. S. forests currently absorb 11 percent of U. S. carbon emissions, or 150 million metric tons of carbon a year, equal to the combined emissions from 40 coal power plants, according to the report. The loss of forests as natural carbon absorbers will require the U. S. to cut emissions more rapidly to reach net zero. “As we work to decarbonize, forests are one of the greatest tools. If we were to lose that tool, it means we will contribute that much more in emissions,” Riley said.
28. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Address. B. Measure. C. Relieve. D. Worsen.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The impact of rising global temperatures on forests.
B. The reasons for forests’ declining ability to absorb carbon.
C. The key role of forests in the ecosystem.
D. The consequences of frequent natural disasters.
30. What does Simon Lewis suggest
A. Planting younger trees on a large scale. B. Limiting the exploitation of forest resources.
C. Reducing fossil fuel emissions. D. Dealing with decaying trees in time.
31. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A. To show the carbon emissions from coal power plants.
B. To stress the significance of forest protection.
C. To offer suggestions on forest management.
D. To present the efforts made to reach net zero.
D
Household chores（家务活）may contribute to healthy aging, according to a study published in the journal BMJ Open. Researchers from Singapore found that regular physical activity, including tasks like dusting, scrubbing floors, and washing windows, can improve physical and mental health, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and decrease falls, immobility, dependency, and mortality among older adults.
The study involved 249 participants aged 21 to 64 and 240 participants aged 65 to 90. Participants completed cognitive（认知）function tests and physical capability assessments. They were asked about their levels of physical activity, including light housework（such as dusting）and heavy housework（such as floor -scrubbing）. The researchers found that older adults who engaged in high amounts of heavy housework had higher cognitive and attention scores compared to those who did low levels or no heavy housework at all. These participants also had lower sit-to-stand times and were at a lower risk of falling. Similarly, older adults who reported high levels of light housework had higher cognitive and memory scores compared to those who did low levels of such tasks.
Dr. Shiou-Liang Wee, co-author of the research, emphasized that health messaging on staying active should not only focus on recreational physical activities. He highlighted that housework is a purposeful activity performed by many older adults and is linked to sharper memory and better fall protection.
However, experts urge caution when interpreting the study’s findings. Professor, Gill Livingston from University College London noted that people who are not well may be expected to do less housework, and the study did not establish a causal relationship between housework and health outcomes. Professor Charlie Foster from the University of Bristol highlighted that the study relied on self-reported levels of household chores, which may be inaccurate, and did not fully consider other factors that could influence the results. While the study suggests that household chore may have benefits for older adults’ health, further research is needed to better understand the relationship between housework and healthy aging.
32. How did the researchers measure the participants’ levels of physical activity
A. By analyzing the participants’ daily routines.
B. By doing household chores with the participants.
C. By carrying out a test on the participants.
D. By listening to the participants’ spoken reports.
33. What can we know about the study
A. Household chores, heavy or light, do help. B. The more housework for the elderly, the better.
C. The subjects are of similar age. D. Light housework improves health better.
34. What do Gill Livingston and Charlie Foster think of the result of the study
A. Objective. B. Meaningless. C. Partial. D. Successful.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Definite limitation of a study on healthy aging.
B. The introduction to a study on household chores.
C. Housework arguments among different experts.
D. Possible function of household chores for healthy aging.

The secret to truly enjoying life lies in making small changes to everyday lives. Taking care of yourself and connecting with others are just some of the ways you can live a happy life. We’ve made an extensive list of practical tips. 36
Put yourself and your happiness first. While making a decision, choose the things that will make you the most pleased. 37 When you focus on your passions and interests, you’ll feel more optimistic and energized. And allow yourself to be involved in the small things that can keep your spirits up, such as going for a short walk each day.
Reward yourself for making progress and continuing to grow. Make sure to celebrate even the smallest signs of progress and growth rather than only praising yourself for the successes. Give yourself an encouraging gesture or word occasionally. 38 Or, be sure to reward yourself with small breaks throughout the workday.
39 Rather than bottling up all of your thoughts and keeping them to yourself, let others know when you need something. Doing so can help you become more confident and feel like you have control over your life. When you speak your mind and live life on your own terms, you’ll be more content.
Turn off the news every now and then. Consuming too much negative news can lead to stress. While it’s great to keep up with current events, the news can have a bad effect on your happiness levels if lots of negative things have happened recently. 40 If you still want to read, avoid potentially stressful topics.
A. Be honest about your wants and needs.
B. Don’t be afraid to seek out new experiences.
C. They’ll help you enjoy your life to the fullest.
D. Also, make taking care of yourself a top priority.
E. Invest your time and resources in improving yourself.

It has been 26 years since my army friend Dan and I packed picnic food and T-shirts inside his blue car, and drove past the military police at McClellan’s main gate.
Armed with weekend passes and new dollars from our first week’s pay at our Army Reserve summer camp, we were on our way to Florida. We had thought a weekend at the beach would be just what we needed to recover from days of hard tasks.
The May weather was delightful. And with the music being played, we drove into Birmingham and decided to stop to phone our mothers and wish them happy Mother’s Day before continuing our journey south to Florida.
Picking up my phone and reaching my mother at home, I learned she had just returned from grocery shopping. I could tell by the tone in her voice that she was disappointed I wouldn’t be spending her special day with the family. “Have a nice trip and be careful. We’ll miss you,” she said.
When I hung up, I could tell by Dan’s face that he was suffering from the same guilt that was troubling me. To deal with our guilt, we discussed and then decided to buy our moms flowers and ask delivery men to send the flowers to them.
Pulling into the parking lot at a flower shop, we each scribbled（匆匆书写）a note to go with the flowers that would remove our guilt of spending our only free weekend on the beach rather than with dear old Mom.
We waited while the clerk assisted a little boy who was selecting flowers, obviously for his mother. We were anxious to pay for our flowers and be on our way. Finally, this little boy picked up many beautiful carnations（康乃馨）for his mother. At that time, we didn’t know his dear mom had already passed away.
The little boy smiled with pride as he turned to me and held up his selection while the clerk rang up his order.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

“I’m sure my mama would love these flowers,” he said. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Teacher Who Inspired Me
In the process of my growth, the teacher who inspired me most is Ms. Li, a considerate and diligent teacher.
First and foremost, her serious attitude towards teaching inspired me to study harder and harder. What’s more, Ms. Li helped a lot in my English learning. When I went to high school, I found it hard to remember so many English words and felt upset. Luckily, Ms. Li. related to my situation and taught me practical and precious learning methods. Besides, she told me although life is always full of ups and downs, we should be confident and positive.
Now, I believe there is always a way out if I face the difficult situation bravely.

“I’m sure my mama would love these flowers,” he said. “She always loved carnations. I can’t wait to take them to the cemetery.” I was immediately shocked and moved. I looked up at the clerk, who was turning away and reaching for a tissue. Then I looked at Dan. He was as shocked and sad as me. Quietly, we watched the little boy leave the store with his prized flowers and get in his dad’s car. “Have you guys made a selection ” asked the clerk, barely able to speak. We nodded.
Then, we paid for our flowers and dropped our notes in the dustbin. I followed Dan as he walked to his car. On the way, we both kept silent. “I’ll pick you up on Sunday evening,” said Dan, as he finally pulled up before my parents’ house. I nodded and pulled my bag out of the car. When I knocked on the door and my mom saw me, she was surprised and confused. “I’d rather stay with you, Mom,” I simply explained. Since that day, I have cherished the time together with Mom and also Dad very much.
