He finally agreed to join her. Jenny was happy. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win. But the challenge was greater this time, as Carl was not a skilled dancer. With the competition two months away, only time would tell if they could succeed.

When you take the subway, you might notice many people, old and young, listening to audiobooks instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a paper book?
You need to find time available and a quiet place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.
But the big question is, do we get as much knowledge from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in Group One were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in Group Two read a book of the same content (内容). It turned out that they recalled as much information, whether they listened to or read it.
Another study from The Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above. In the study, researchers scanned (扫描) people’s brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activated (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading did.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing some other tasks at the same time. “If you’re trying to learn while doing two things, you’ re not going to learn as well,” Daniel Willingham, a researcher at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
23．Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over paper books?
A．They are easier to take.
B．They offer choices in content.
C．They improve people’s eyesight.
D．They free people in time and place.
24．What did researchers find in the study?
A．People recalled more information from reading paper books.
B．Listening activated different parts of the brain from reading.
C．People can read and listen to the same content at the same time.
D．Listening makes no difference in recalling information from reading.
25．What can we infer from the text?
A．People need to stay focused while reading.
B．People often do other tasks while listening.
C．People actually learn better from audiobooks.
D．People have to activate the brain to learn better.
26．How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2,...)
A．
B．
C．
D．
Sounds from human activities spread across the ocean, causing much trouble to ocean animals. However, according to a new study, climate change might influence how sound travels through the water.
Human-caused climate change influences the ocean in many ways, such as changing its temperature, salt level, and acidity (酸度). For example, when the water becomes more acidic, it can’t take in certain sounds. So those sounds travel further, adding to the noise in some areas. However, this effect (影响) is not as big as other changes. Changes like temperature and salt level can affect how the ocean’s different layers (层) mix. That, in turn, affects how sound travels.
Researchers used computers to model how those changes influence noise levels across the ocean. They compared the models of the world now to those of the world in about 70 years if climate change continues. In the North Atlantic, they saw an increase in sound levels in the upper 125 meters of the Ocean.
This was caused mostly by ice melting (融化) from Greenland, forming a cold layer of water near the Ocean’s surface. When sound travels through water, it turns toward the coldest layer. This made sound waves get stuck in the cold top layer and spread further out across the water instead of traveling deeper. As a result, the sound became louder at this depth in the North Atlantic.
The rising noise levels in the Atlantic Ocean are worrying as they could disturb animals’ communication, hunting and travelling. Sharks already avoid loud ships, but with noise levels increasing everywhere, what will happen?
27．What has a bigger effect on ocean noise?
A．Sea level.B．Wind speed.C．Water temperature.D．Ocean acidity.
28．How did researchers carry out the study?
A．By modeling changes in ocean noise levels.
B．By finding areas with increasing ocean noise.
C．By doing field research in the North Atlantic.
D．By comparing today’s ice size to that of the future.
29．What do we know about the sound traveling through water?
A．It can be easily blocked by ice.B．It can get stuck by the seaside.
C．It goes towards the colder areas.D．It travels faster in the deep ocean.
30．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Ice melting brings changes to water level.
B．Some ocean animals keep away from ships.
C．The more the ocean is acidic, the more sounds it takes in.
D．Climate change may influence the way sounds travel in the ocean.
三、单词拼写

Using AI to help others
“At first, I just wanted a tool to help with my studies. Then it 41 (draw) attention from more people,” Qiu Yumo, aged 13, told Teens. Qiu is from Huitong School in Shenzhen, Guangdong. She made AI Button. It’s 42 online AI learning tool for middle school students.
“My classmates and I want to have a learning friend 43 (help) us remember the key information. When we don’t know something, we can also ask for help at any time,” Qiu said about her idea.
Students only need to put what they 44 (study) into AI Button. The AI will 45 (quick) find key points, ask questions, 46 answer students’ questions as well. “This AI is like a teacher and meets each 47 (student) needs,” Qiu said.
Qiu Yumo started learning programming 48 the age of six. She started to program with AI to make tools in 2023. As a pet lover, she also made a tool to count pets’ steps, which can help people to keep their pets healthy.
Many students loved Qiu’s idea of AI Button. They wanted to join her to make it 49 (good), so that they could get more timely help. “Now I have a small team of students from different schools. We are improving AI Button and trying to let more people know 50 ,” she said.
五、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，回答短文后面的各个小题。
Born in 1977 in a family of engineers, Xie Xiaohui went to university in 1995. After graduation, he joined the army and was sent to Yong ’an Fire Station in Sanming City, Fujian. He went on thousands of rescue (营救) tasks and saved hundreds of people from fires with his team. Whenever the alarm bell went off, he was always the first to get out, jump onto the fire-fighting truck, and rush to the fire.
On July 26, 2004, the fire station suddenly sounded an alarm bell at 10:15—a fire broke out in a factory. During this rescue, Xie Xiaohui got 75 percent burns all over his body. The local hospital did its best to save Xie’s life. To avoid infection (感染), some good skin (皮肤) was needed to put onto his body. There was not much good skin on his body, so the doctors had to “rob Peter to pay Paul”.
After going through hundreds of operations in the following three years, he joined a cycling club in order to get well from the operations. Later, he set up a cycling team to spread fire safety knowledge by cycling around. His team trained nearly 5,500 people within three years as they tried to raise fire safety awareness (意识) among people.
Xie said he didn’t want to be treated differently as a hero, calling saving life the duty of a firefighter, and he could do more meaningful things.

六、书面表达
18. 例文：Dear Jack,
I got your letter about having trouble understanding the Chinese idiom Yu Gong Moves a Mountain. Let me explain it to you.
The story goes that a very old man named Yu Gong decided to move two large mountains that blocked the way to his home. Despite his age and the enormity of the task, he was determined to remove the mountains. His perseverance and determination eventually moved the gods, who sent divine beings to help him complete the task. The idiom “Yu Gong Moves a Mountain” symbolizes the spirit of perseverance and the belief that with determination, even the most difficult tasks can be accomplished.
To better understand and learn Chinese idioms, I suggest you read more Chinese stories and try to use the idioms in your daily conversations. Watching Chinese movies or TV shows can also help you see how these idioms are used in context.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions.
Yours,
Li Hua
