During a heavy rainstorm, you may see a bright light in the sky. It is lightning. Many people think lightning comes down from the sky. In fact, lightning can move in different ways: downwards, upwards and even between clouds.
Let's learn about the most common kind: cloud-to-ground lightning. Here is how it forms. Inside a storm cloud, tiny bits of ice and water crash (撞击) into each other. This separates (分离) electrical charges (电荷). Some are positive (+), and others are negative (-). Negative charges gather at the bottom of the cloud, while positive charges appear on the ground below. The two charges attract each other, so the negative charges move downwards through the air. When they get near the ground, the positive charges rise up to meet them. When they meet, a bright flash of lightning forms. It happens so fast that it looks like the lightning is falling down from the sky.
Lightning looks cool, but it is very dangerous and can be lethal. Lightning is about five times hotter than the surface of the Sun. This extreme heat can set fire to trees or houses in seconds. Also, lightning can spread through the ground and hurt people or kill them even if they are not hit directly.
Since lightning is very dangerous, we need to tell how far away the storm is. Lightning always goes with thunder (雷), yet light moves much faster than sound. If you hear thunder less than 30 seconds after seeing lightning, the storm is very close. If there is a long wait between lightning and thunder, the storm is still far away.
(1)、How does lightning travel?A、It rises from the ground. B、It goes down from the cloud. C、It travels from cloud to cloud. D、It moves in more than one way.(2)、What is the correct order of how lightning develops?
A、abc B、bac C、bca D、cba(3)、What does the underlined word "lethal" probably mean?A、Deadly. B、Powerful. C、Bright. D、Hot.(4)、If you hear thunder a long time after you see lightning, the storm is ____.A、moving fast B、not near yet C、going to stop D、not dangerous(5)、What is the main purpose of the passage?A、To explain different kinds of storms. B、To teach people how to tell the weather. C、To warn people of the dangers in nature. D、To show the facts and power of lightning. -

Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are lovely animals. They live on high land, mainly in and around Kekexili. In the late 1980s, their number dropped from nearly 200,000 to less than 20,000 because of poaching (偷猎).
To save them, a brave man named Sonam Dargye set up a team in 1992. The team watched over the land all year round, even in freezing weather as cold as -40℃. They lived in simple tents and often went hungry, but they never gave up. Sadly, Sonam Dargye lost his life while fighting against poachers in 1994. In 1997, a wildlife protection station was built to remember him.
Many young people have followed in his footsteps. In 2024, 24-year-old Tsering Lozang joined the station. He grew up hearing many stories about Sonam Dargye. Tsering Lozang chose to stay on this land to protect the antelopes. For him, this is more than a job — it is a way to carry on the hero's spirit.
Luckily, modern technology has greatly helped wildlife protection. In the past, rangers (巡护员) had no phone service in the wild. Now, the 5G network allows them to send messages and photos in time, helping them find signs of poaching much faster. Besides, video calls make medical help possible. Rangers can connect with doctors to save sick antelopes in time.
Today, the number of Tibetan antelopes in Hoh Xil has grown to over 70,000. Thanks to both heroes and technology, the spirit of protection lives on, and this beautiful land continues to shine.
(1)、How did the number of Tibetan antelopes change in the 1980s?A、
B、
C、
D、
(2)、Which word best describes the team's life between 1992 and 1994?
A、Safe. B、Different. C、Hard. D、Colorful.(3)、What does the example of Tsering Lozang show?A、Young people like stories of heroes. B、The spirit of saving antelopes' lives on. C、Daily life at the station is getting better. D、There are new ways to help the animals.(4)、How does 5G help with the protection work today?A、By attracting more protectors. B、By improving communication. C、By providing enough medicine. D、By sending doctors to the land.(5)、What is the best title for the text?A、The Moving Animal Story B、Power of High Technology C、The Hard Life in Kekexili D、Protector of the High Land -

Let's guess what the plant is.
It grows in warm and rainy places. Most people think it is a tree, but it is actually a kind of grass. There are about 1,500 kinds of it around the world. It grows very fast. After coming out of the ground, some species can grow almost 1 meter a day! Most other plants grow much more slowly, only a few centimeters (cm) a day.
Its stems (茎) are strong yet light. Over 1,000 years ago, people used them to build bridges, such as the famous Anlan Suspension Bridge in Dujiangyan. The bridge could carry people and heavy loads (货物) safely. Even today, in some parts of Asia, workers still use its stems to build traditional scaffolds (脚手架).
The plant is good for the earth. It is a renewable resource. When its stems are cut, new ones grow back quickly from the same roots. So we can use it without harming nature. Its roots hold the soil together, which helps to stop the ground from being washed away by rain. Besides, it takes in CO2 and helps the earth stay cool.
It's the favorite food of giant pandas. Now you must know the answer. Yes, it's bamboo!
(1)、What kind of plant is it?A、Grass. B、Tree. C、Flower. D、Vegetable.(2)、How does the writer show the plant's growing speed?A、By telling stories. B、By asking questions. C、By sharing opinions. D、By making comparisons.(3)、What is the main idea of paragraph 3?A、What the bridge was made of. B、Why workers build scaffolds. C、How the plant stems are useful. D、Where Anlan Suspension bridge is.(4)、Why is the plant friendly to the earth?a. It takes in CO2. b. It keeps soil in place.

To celebrate Labor Day, a photo show was held in a community this month. It started from May 1st and lasted for 10 days.
All the photos on show were about ordinary (普通的) workers in the community. Behind each photo there was a happy worker doing his or her daily job. A pancake maker was laughing, with flour (面粉) all over his hands. A driver was helping an elderly lady get off the bus—warm smiles were on their faces.
The photos were taken by Chen Hang, a young man who lived in the community for five years. He spent nearly a month walking around the neighborhood with a camera. His idea was simple—to record the smiles of ordinary workers. He "collected" 100 smiling faces. The photos greatly touched him and he decided to share the touching moments in the photos with more people. So he went to the community center for help. The volunteers there organized his photos and turned them into a show for the Labor Day celebrations.
The show drew people in the community, including the "models," to stop and watch. They were excited to recognize the familiar faces in the photos. They felt happy with the photo show and thankful to Chen Hang. "Without these photos, we may not know how beautiful we are at work," one of the "models" said.
(1)、How long did the photo show last?(2)、Who was helping the elderly lady get off the bus in one photo?(3)、What did Chen Hang want to record?(4)、Where did Chen Hang go for help?(5)、Were the people satisfied or disappointed with the photo show? -

Many schools have started projects to make changes to their school grounds in order to make better use of them. The projects have achieved good results. Some schools have reduced heat, some have got more play space, and others have helped create different learning experiences.
The most common practice of the schools is planting more trees around the playground. Trees provide cooler spaces in summer. They also bring birds and insects. Students, therefore, would like to go to the playground more often. And they become more connected to nature. Some schools even set up reading areas under these trees. Students can listen to birds singing while reading there.
▲ For example, they turn some of the school grounds into vegetable fields or fruit gardens. The students work in teams and learn how to grow vegetables or fruits. In this way, they get hands-on learning experience. At harvest (收获) time, they share what they get from the fields and gardens, and they also harvest the joy of labor and cooperation.
These reshaping projects make school grounds more popular with students. The reason behind the success is that students are included. After all, they are the users of the grounds. In many cases, designers first survey the students for their ideas.
Then they draw up several designs for the students to vote on. When the project is completed, the students are invited to feed back on it so that it can be further improved in the future.
(1)、What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?A、The results of the projects. B、The importance of learning. C、The benefits of play space.

A night from my childhood remains clear in my memory: I was standing by a pool before a village in Henan. Next to me stood many other people, both adults and children. Together, we looked at the clear night sky, where a tiny star slowly sailed across the dark sky.
It was China's first artificial satellite (人造卫星): Dongfanghong I. The date was April 25,1970, and I was seven. Just a week earlier, Apollo 13 safely returned from a journey to the Moon.It had been nine years since the first astronaut left the Earth. But I didn't know any of that. As Ilooked at that tiny star, my heart was full of curiosity.
The adults said that the satellite wasn't like an airplane because it flew outside of the Earth.Back then the dust and smoke didn't pollute the air, and the velvet sky was especially clear, with the Milky Way (银河) clearly seen. In my mind, the stars that filled the sky weren't much farther away than the tiny satellite, so I thought it was flying among them. I even worried that it might run into one as it passed through them.
A few years passed before I understood how far it is from that satellite to the stars. Back thenI was reading a popular set of basic science books called A Hundred Thousand Whys. I learned the idea of a light-year(光年). I tried to picture the endless and icy darkness of space —— so huge and deep that my mind couldn't follow. A wave of fear and wonder flooded me, yet left behindastrange and electric joy. Even today, the idea of a light-year can still paint lively pietures in my mind and excite a deep sense of wonder and shock.
Satellite, stars, the Milky Way, a light-year ... These seemingly (似乎) unconnected things formed the early part of my life, and also influenced the science fiction I write today.
