5、以下是一篇短文。请阅读全文并从下列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。
Have trouble getting on with your siblings (兄弟姐妹)? Solving the problem directly is a good way. But how? Here are some tips.
One of the best ways to understand your sibling's action is just to ask him the reasons for his behavior directly in a polite voice. Don't be angry and shout loudly to your sibling.
For example, if you're trying to read and your little brother is jumping on your bed or saying your name over and over, you might put down your book and ask politely, "Why are you doing that?" If you overreact (反应过激) to what he is doing, he may think that his behavior will make you pay attention to him.
Tell your sibling how they're making you feel. Whether something is hurting your feelings, it's important for you to calmly express how you feel. For example, if your brother won't let you play with him, you might say, "It really hurts my feelings when you leave me out."
Try to find a solution that makes you both happy. Once you've both talked about how you feel, it may be easier to solve the problem in a way that satisfies you both. Just remind yourself that in the long run, getting along better will make everyone happier!
A. Ask your sibling why he is acting that way.
B. Instead, leave the room at once and find a parent.
C. How would you feel if I refused to play with you?
D. Often, you'll need to give in a little to keep the peace.
E. In some cases, he may be annoying you to get your attention.
F. Sometimes, your sibling may not realize how annoying his behavior is.

6、Many people believe that a child's creativity can only be produced in the warmth of a loving and supportive family. However, a study published in June 2025 showed that this is not always the case.
Although it sounds impossible, the study has found that many creative people had difficult childhoods. In fact, many well-known artists developed their special talents because of their difficult childhood experiences. They always used art as a way to stay away from pain, creating imaginary worlds so they could express themselves freely. Famous examples include artistic geniuses like Vincent van Gogh and Franz Kafka. All of them suffered in childhood and went on to develop great artistic talents.
Psychologists explain that there are two main ways creativity develops. One is the positive inspiration (正向激励). When children have caring parents, they learn from their positive behavior and grow confidently. The other is coping creativity. When children feel no one cares about them, they might use drawing, writing, or music to ease themselves.
Interestingly, challenges can actually increase creativity, but not enough caring contributes to worries. Research shows early childhood experiences shape creativity patterns and that some challenge helps shape creativity, but too much challenge harms people's social skills.
Modern life creates new challenges. With parents working longer hours and greater competition in learning, many children spend more time alone indoors. This leads to problems such as anxiety (焦虑) and poor social skills. To solve these problems, schools can help by offering art and music programs, training teachers to notice creative students and providing advice for children with problems.
The most important lesson is balance (平衡). While challenges can produce creativity, love and support are more important. As one expert says, "Creativity grows best when children feel safe enough to discover but supported enough to take challenges." Parents and teachers should encourage children's talents while making sure they feel valued and understood.
(1)、What does Paragraph 2 tell us about art?A、It is often loved by children living a difficult life. B、It helps some children feel less pain and more freedom. C、It allows children to draw a world without thinking much. D、It requires children to have creativity and rich imagination.(2)、What does the underlined word "ease" in Paragraph 3 mean?A、Trust. B、Beat. C、Annoy. D、Comfort.(3)、What is the relationship between challenges and creativity according to the passage?A、Challenges only improve social skills, not creativity. B、The more challenges a child faces, the more creative they will become. C、Some challenge helps develop creativity, but too much can be harmful. D、Challenges don't have connection to the development of creativity at all.(4)、How does the writer organize Paragraph 5?A、By raising a question and then giving it answers. B、By showing a fact and then proving it with numbers. C、By giving an opinion and then supporting it with examples. D、By describing problems and then giving methods of solving them.(5)、What does the writer suggest in the passage?A、Children should be protected and respected. B、Parents and teachers should be encouraged first. C、Children should learn to deal with problems themselves. D、It's easy to keep a balance between freedom and guidance. -
7、We are lucky for living in China. One of the reasons is that our ancestors (祖先) were full of experience and knowledge. They left behind valuable cultures for us. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of them.
TCM includes many practices, theories, and treatments. It has developed for about two thousand years in China. Rooted in Chinese culture and philosophy, TCM studies the balance (平衡) of the body, feelings such as love, fear or anger, and the environment to help people remain healthy and happy.
TCM theories and practices are mainly based on ancient books such as The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine (Huangdi Neijing). The philosophy of TCM explains Qi (necessary energy), Yin and Yang (the powers of nature), and the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) that build the universe. These are important to understanding the body's work and its relationship with the environment.
The forms of treatments are different. The first one to talk about is acupuncture (针灸). Doctors will put thin needles into specific points (穴位) on the body to control the flow of Qi and balance Yin and Yang energies. It is commonly used to stop pain and treat different physical and mental diseases.
TCM uses natural plant, animal, and mineral products to treat and avoid illness. The medicine often includes different products working together to solve difficult problems.
TCM dietary treatment means using food's natural qualities (特性) to help people keep healthy and avoid diseases. Personalized dietary suggestions are made according to a person's health condition and the balance of Yin and Yang.
Today, TCM is widely used in modern China. Many hospitals have TCM departments. As TCM is becoming more and more popular, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine are also used around the world, providing people with different choices for a better life.
(1)、Why does the writer think we are lucky?A、We can be smart with the help of TCM. B、We are living in a country with a long history. C、Our country provides us with necessary things. D、We have the chance to learn about valuable cultures.(2)、What's the writer's purpose in mentioning a book in Paragraph 3?A、To discover the uses of TCM in ancient China. B、To show the wisdom of people in ancient China. C、To introduce a great book about medicine in history. D、To explain where the basic theories of TCM come from.(3)、How is the first form of TCM treatment different from the other two?A、It needs different plants to work together. B、It brings people great pain in their bodies. C、It requires knowledge about specific points. D、It depends much on food's natural qualities.(4)、What is mentioned at the end of the passage?A、TCM is popular with people around the world. B、TCM still needs improvement to meet people's needs. C、TCM departments should be set up in more hospitals. D、TCM is the key to providing people with a better life.(5)、What is the structure of the passage?A、①②/③④⑤⑥/⑦ B、①/②③/④⑤⑥/⑦ C、①/②/③④⑤⑥⑦ D、①/②③/④⑤⑥⑦ -

After a year's study, he thought that he had learned all of his teacher's skills. Then he left his teacher and schoolmates hurriedly and made a living walking around from place to place. But a year later, he owned nothing and had to go back home.
When he arrived home with nothing, his wife breathed out heavily after seeing him and continued making cloth; his sister-in-law turned and walked off, not ready to cook for him; his parents, brothers, and sisters all laughed at him. Feeling sad, he closed the door and then took out all of his books, making all his efforts to study.
Every day he studied far into the night. One day, he was so sleepy that he fell on the writing desk and fell asleep, but he woke up suddenly because his arm was pierced (扎) by something. It was an awl (锥子) on the writing desk. He found a way to avoid falling asleep: piercing his legs! After that, every time he nodded, he would pierce his legs to make himself wake up because of the pain.
Seeing this, his family said, "We can understand that you want to succeed, but you should not treat yourself badly like this." Su Qin replied, "If I do not do this, I will forget my past shame." After this "bloody" year, Su Qin became a man of great learning. Again, he left home, and this time he succeeded.

9、阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。
Yesterday, while I was walking through a square in New York, I saw a woman dancing alone. Although there was no1, she bowed (鞠躬) to the air again and again with her lovely smile. I went over and said hello to this beautiful and thin woman. She seemed excited and told me that I was the first one who had talked with her.
At first, I thought she was a professional dancer, but to my2, she was just a dance student—and she was 34 years old! She wasn't naturally3. In fact, she had been shy since childhood because of bullying about her weight. "Everyone4 me, including my family. I hated being told that I should be on a diet, but I could do nothing," she said5.
At 30, she decided to follow her dream and came to New York to6 dance. She didn't care that people said she was "too old". Now, she lives in a(n)7 apartment—just two square meters—but she joked that it was perfect for practicing the splits (劈叉). Since she can't afford a dance studio, she practices in the square, forcing herself to dance in public to deal with her8. Moving to the music makes her pay attention to her body, helping her9 cruel words and build up confidence.

Almost every day, we talk about how to keep healthy. But what is health? According to some research, "health" means eating well, getting enough exercise, and having proper weight. So what can we do to stay healthy?
Eat different kinds of food. We all know that eating fruit and vegetables can help us stay healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite food. That is bad for our health.
Drink more water and milk. Water is important to our bodies. Everyone should have about 8 glasses of water every day. Besides, kids need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow strong bones. Milk is rich in it.
When we are eating, notice how our body feels. When our stomach feels comfortably full, stop eating. Eating just about 20% less than usual can be a great help. Eating too much can make us unhealthy and fat.
Limit screen time. What's screen time? The more time we spend on these activities, the less time we spend playing sports, like basketball, and doing other activities like riding and swimming. Try to spend less than 2 hours a day on screens.

18、"I am not an American," Mark Twain (1835—1910) once said. "I am the American."
He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O'Neill called him "the true father of American literature". "Mark Twain is all of our grandfather," agreed William Faulkner, another Nobel winner.
Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you will find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain's idea of childhood is magical—a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.
Most importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of the US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of its old traditions.
Twain's writing is full of these kinds of critical (批评的) points about the culture and the society of the US at the time. That's why he is so beloved in the US—he wasn't afraid to express his opinions, and he did so clearly.
For instance, Twain didn't like US wars abroad, and he wrote openly about it in a newspaper article in 1900. He also believed strongly in women's right to vote in elections (选举) and gave a famous speech on the subject, called "Votes for Women", in 1901.
"Tom was a glittering hero once more—the pet of the old, the envy of the young," Twain wrote in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well have been describing himself.
(1)、Why are two Nobel winners mentioned at the beginning?A、To show they were as successful as Mark Twain. B、To show their close relationship with Mark Twain. C、To show how American literature developed. D、To show Mark Twain's influence.(2)、What is most special about the novel The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?A、It describes how a young boy grows up. B、It introduces the famous Mississippi River. C、It presents a magical idea of childhood. D、It cleverly makes fun of the US culture.(3)、How does the writer show Twain was fearless to voice his opinions?A、By giving a speech. B、By showing numbers. C、By giving examples. D、By using sentences from his book.(4)、What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?A、Mark Twain was very much like Tom. B、Mark Twain was a hero in American literature. C、Mark Twain should be more confident in himself. D、Mark Twain made a wonderful description of Tom. -

The Locked Trunk

One sunny Saturday morning, my best friend Ollie and I were helping his grandmother, Abuela, prepare for a rummage sale (旧货义卖) to raise money for the local homeless shelter (收容所). The garage was filled with dusty boxes and old furniture that Abuela had collected over the years.
As we carried a heavy box of books to Abuela's car, Ollie suddenly stopped and pointed to a large, rusty trunk in the corner. "Look at that!" he said excitedly. "It looks1!"
Abuela smiled. "That old thing? It's been here since before your parents were born. I've never been able to open it—the lock is stuck."
Ollie's eyes shined with2. "What's inside?" he asked.
"I honestly don't know," Abuela replied. "Most likely just a bunch of things we don't need anymore."
"But what if there's3?" I added. "Like gold coins or an old map!"
Abuela laughed. "Well, if you two can open it, you can keep whatever's inside."
Ollie ran to get his tool kit, determined to break the lock. "I bet I can4 this in two minutes flat!" he declared.
But two minutes turned into twenty, then two hours. We tried every tool— pliers, screw drivers, even a hammer—but the lock wouldn't move. Sweat dripped down Ollie's face as he complained, "It's no use. We have to5."
I shook my head. "What about that saying your parents love? ‘If at first you don't succeed, try, try again!'"
Ollie sighed. "Unless a magical key fairy appears, we're never opening this trunk."
Just then, Ollie's little siblings, Indi and Tex, arrived with a plate of cookies for the rummage sale. "Mom said to bring these," Indi announced.
Tex stared at the trunk. "Wow! Is that a boat?"
Indi giggled. "It's upside down! Let's turn it over and play pirates!"
Before we could stop them, they climbed onto the trunk, pretending it was a6 in a storm. "Ahoy! Shark attack!" Tex yelled, jumping up and down.
Suddenly, a screw popped loose and rolled across the floor. Ollie's eyes7. "That's it! We don't need to pick the lock—we can remove the hinges!"
With Tex and Indi's "help", we unscrewed the hinges and lifted the lid. Our hearts8—what treasure would we find?
But instead of gold, we saw…shoes. Dozens of old, polished shoes neatly stacked inside.
Indi wrinkled her nose. "Ew! Why would anyone save these?"
Abuela laughed. "These are old but classic! People will love them at the sale."
Sure enough, the9 sold quickly, raising more money than we'd expected for the shelter. Ollie grinned at me. "Not treasure, but still pretty cool."
Later, as we ate cookies, I realized something important: sometimes, trying the same thing over and over won't work. Like when I struggle with homework, staring at the page won't help—but asking for ideas or drawing a picture might.
Abuela patted my shoulder. "Life's full of locked trunks. The trick is knowing when to try a10 key."
And that, I decided, was the real treasure.
