2、A mushroom-picking craze is causing serious problems at Cangshan Mountain in Dali. This summer, hundreds of tourists have been coming every day to search for wild mushrooms. The large number of visitors is damaging the beautiful forests and threatening the local environment.
Reporters visiting in August found that many forest areas now show clear signs of damage from all the people walking through them.

Many tourists simply dig up mushrooms, take pictures with them, and then throw them away.
On a single day, more than 500 people entered the mountain through just one entrance. There are many paths where people search for mushrooms across the whole mountain. This constant searching and digging is harming the natural home where mushrooms grow.

To develop emotional toughness, we can follow these steps. One way is to learn who to trust. Emotionally tough people sometimes make mistakes at judging others but they learn from them and avoid repeating them. By taking small actions outside your daily schedules, you can build confidence and prepare for bigger challenges.
Emotionally tough people stay healthy by exercising, sleeping well, and eating balanced meals. They stick to their routines even when they don't feel like it. Building positive relationships is the fourth key step. Emotionally tough people spend time with those who inspire and support them.
Finally, focus on your own goals instead of comparing yourself to others. Emotionally tough people set clear goals, celebrate their achievements, and keep moving forward. They don't waste time worrying about what others think.
It's a skill that can be developed through practice and good habits. By following these steps, we can become stronger and better prepared to face life's challenges.

9、 阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Shenzhen is the first city in the world where all buses run on electricity. Since 2023, all 16, 000 buses in the city use electricity instead of diesel (柴油). This big change helps make the air cleaner and reduces noise. Each electric bus can cut about 50 tons of dirty air each year, which is very good for our environment.
The government spent over 3 billion yuan on this clean energy project. Electric buses cost more to buy (about 300, 000 yuan extra each), but they save money later because electricity is cheaper than diesel. Drivers say these buses are quieter and easier to drive. Many passengers also say the rides are smoother than before.
The city built 510 special stations with 8, 000 places to charge (充电) the buses. About 100 of these stations use sun power to make the electricity, making them even cleaner. The buses can go 250km after charging for just 2 hours - enough for a whole day's work. At night, workers charge all the buses so they're ready for the next day.
"The air is much better now, " says Li Wei, a student who takes Bus 234 every day. "I don't smell the bad bus smoke anymore. " Many people like taking photos of the new buses because they look modern and clean. Some tourists even ride them just to see how they work.
Now, other big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are also starting to use electric buses. The United Nations says Shenzhen's buses are "a good example for all cities" to help protect our environment. Many countries are learning from Shenzhen's success.
(1)、What makes it special about Shenzhen's buses since 2023?A、They all use electric power. B、They use less diesel than before. C、They have free WiFi for passengers.

10、 阅读下列短文,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
In southern China's Guangdong Province, the lychee orchards (荔枝果园) are going through a smart change. A university has worked with local governments and tech partner Yushu Technology to use artificial intelligence (AI) in Gaozhou, a huge lychee - growing area.
In April, 2025, their smart farming system found that 70% of the lychee flowers had fallen in one orchard. It then made a "prescription" (处方) map to guide farmers where to use fertilizer (肥料) and control harmful insects. In the past, farmers mainly depended on their own experience.
This work is part of a bigger "AI + agriculture" project. Drones, satellites, and ground sensors (传感器) are used to watch 6, 800 mu of lychee trees. Yushu Technology helps by dealing with large amounts of data and using AI models to study tree health and predict harvests. The system can find problems like harmful insects with a 95% correct rate. A simple mobile app allows farmers to call for drones, upload photos, and get expert advice. Even farmers with little tech knowledge can easily use it, helping them make better farming decisions.
The AI system brings real benefits. It helps farmers react quickly, saving trees and reducing labor. Fruit quality has improved because of better harmful insects control and care. Each tree now has a QR code (二维码) showing its growing conditions, making lychees easier to sell at higher prices. Some farmers even sell their fruits before harvest by showing buyers the data.
This smart farming model is not only improving incomes but also bringing young people back to farming. Local leaders hope to spread the "Gaozhou experience" to other places, helping more farmers and villages achieve better growth and life.
(1)、What did the smart system find in April 2025?A、Trees were growing quickly. B、Many flowers had fallen. C、Farmers used less fertilizer. D、No harmful insects were found.(2)、What is the main purpose of the "prescription" map?A、To guide farmers in watering lychee trees. B、To guide farmers in selling fruits at markets. C、To guide farmers in picking lychees and fertilizer. D、To guide farmers in using fertilizer and pest control.(3)、How do AI tools help watch and study lychee trees according to the passage?A、
B、
C、
D、
(4)、Why can farmers sell lychees at higher prices now?A、The trees produce more fruits than before. B、The fruit quality and growing data are shown. C、The fruits grow faster with more fertilizer. D、New lychee seeds are widely used here.(5)、What is the writer's attitude towards the AI project?A、Positive and hopeful. B、Doubtful and worried. C、Uninterested and bored. D、Angry and disappointed. -

16、 请阅读全文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
A. Letˈs see our cotton bag.
B. The problem is that we often donˈt.
C. Surprised? Keep on and weˈll explain.
D. Do you wonder which should be better?
E. Itˈs not just about cotton bags for shopping.
F. Producing it can cause harmful gas into the air.
Cotton or plastic: which kind of bag is better for the environment? Many of us would naturally say that the cotton bag is best, but that might only be true if you use that bag thousands of times.
There is no doubt that plastic is harmful for the environment in many ways. Thrown-away plastic can sit and stay for centuries, pollute the sea, cause harm to wildlife or break down into polluting microplastics.
Because of these factors, many people are looking for ways to reduce their plastic use. However, itˈs not as easy as they think. Itˈs certainly more biodegradable(可降解)than plastic, but this might be only advantage. The production of cotton requires far more energy, water and so on. As the bags are heavier, transporting them will lead to higher carbon emissions. An article from Columbia University suggests that cotton shopping bags need to be used over 7,000 times before they are more valuable than plastic ones.
Lightweight plastic in cars and planes help reduce oil use and emissions. If we didn't use so much plastic in clothing and footwear, we need plenty of land, water and other things for enough natural products. The fact that plastic lasts for centuries is what causes much of the environmental harm, but it also means it can be used to make things that can be re-used again and again. Plastic can cause serious harm to the environment, and efforts to throw less of it away can reduce this. Re-using it more could be one way to achieve this.

Americans will long remember President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.
At the age of 19, Abraham Lincoln took a boat down the Ohio River to New Orleans. There Lincoln saw for the first time slaves being sold in the marketplace. At that time, Lincoln made up his mind to work to end slavery for the rest of his life.
In 1836, Lincoln became a lawyer and was famous for being hard-working and honest. He believed that the US stood for freedom for all. He wanted to become a senator (参议员). In 1858, Lincoln debated (争论)against Stephen Douglas who was also a candidate for the Senate from Illinois.
Because of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Lincoln became known across the country. Then he decided to run for the presidency in 1860. At last he ran against Stephen Douglas and two other candidates.
Lincoln took the oath (誓言)of office to become president of the United States on March 4, 1861. It was a difficult time to be president. Many southern states did not agree with Lincoln about canceling slavery, and declared that they were no longer part of the US. The famous Civil War began in April, 1861.
Lincoln's Union Army fought the Southern Confederate Armies. Many soldiers were killed in the battles. One of the battles took place in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. In 1863, a ceremony was held to memorize the dead on the Gettysburg battlefield. Lincoln made a famous speech known as the Gettysburg Address.

Laughter can help us be free from pain and increase our endurance(忍耐力). A study at 2011 Oxford University showed that telling a joke to a friend can help us do more exercise at the gym or go farther on our daily walk.
Joking around is also good for our social life. Compared with staying alone, a person is more likely to laugh when he is staying with other people. When someone starts laughing, everyone else laughs too, even if they're not sure why he is laughing.
Sophie Scott, a British scientist, believes that when we laugh, we are making and keeping social connections.
