For many students, summer vacation means screen time. But for 14-year-old Lucas from Texas, it was different. This summer, he set a goal to read 20 books. “I wanted to challenge myself,” he said. “My friends thought I was crazy, but I did it!”
Lucas finished his 20th book two days before school started. His favorite was a science fiction novel about space exploration. “Reading took me to places I’ve never been,” he said. “It made me think about my future. Now I want to be an engineer.”
Lucas’s mother said she was proud of him. “He spent less time on his phone and more time learning. His vocabulary has improved a lot, too.”
When asked if he would do it again next summer, Lucas laughed. “Maybe 25 books!”

In a small town in Maine, a special “toy library” is bringing joy to children and helping families save money. It’s called the “Play & Learn Lending Library.”
The idea came from a local mother, Sarah Johnson. She noticed her children quickly lost interest in new toys. “They would play with a toy for a week, and then it would sit in a box,” she said. “I thought, why not share toys with other families?”
Now, the library has hundreds of toys, from puzzles to building blocks. Families can borrow up to five toys for two weeks, just like borrowing books. The best part? It’s completely free!
“This library is amazing,” said one father. “My son gets to try different toys, and I don’t have to spend money on things he might not like.”
The library is run by volunteers. They clean and repair toys to keep them in good shape. “It’s about community,” Sarah said. “We help each other, and we help the planet by reducing waste.”

Have you ever heard of “green roofs”? They are roofs of buildings that are partially or completely covered with plants. This idea is becoming popular in cities around the world.
Green roofs do more than just look nice. They help the environment in many ways. First, they absorb rainwater, which reduces the risk of flooding. Second, the plants clean the air by taking in carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Third, green roofs provide a home for birds and insects like bees and butterflies.
In summer, a green roof can keep a building cooler. The plants act as a natural air conditioner. This means people use less air conditioning, which saves energy and money. In winter, the roof helps keep the building warm.
Many cities encourage green roofs. For example, in Toronto, Canada, some new buildings must have them. “Green roofs are good for everyone,” said a city planner. “They make our city greener, healthier, and more beautiful.”
8. What is a green roof?
A. A roof made of glass.
B. A roof that is painted green.
C. A roof covered with plants.

A. They use less water.
B. They absorb rainwater.
C. They produce more oxygen.
10. What can we learn from the text?

Every day, we produce a huge amount of data. We send messages, take photos, and search for information online. Where does all this data go? It goes to data centers.
Data centers are large buildings filled with computers. These computers store and process all the information we create. They are the backbone of the internet. Without them, you couldn’t watch videos, send emails, or use social media.
However, data centers use a lot of electricity. In fact, they use about 1% of the world’s electricity. This is because the computers produce heat and need to be cooled. To solve this problem, some companies are building data centers in cooler places. Others are using renewable energy, like wind or solar power.
Some data centers are even being built underwater! Microsoft tested an underwater data center off the coast of Scotland. It was more reliable and used less energy than those on land. The underwater environment is cool and helps keep the computers from overheating.
As we create more data, we need to find smart ways to store it. The future of data storage might be cooler, greener, and wetter!
12. What is the main function of data centers?
A. To cool the computers.
B. To process and store data.
C. To provide electricity.
13. What problem do data centers face?
A. They take up too much space.
B. They use a lot of electricity.
C. They are hard to find.
14. Why did Microsoft test an underwater data center?
A. To test if computers work underwater.
B. To save money on building.
C. To reduce energy use and improve reliability.
15. What does the writer think about the future of data storage?
A. It will be more environmentally friendly.
B. It will all be placed underwater.
C. It will stop growing soon.

第三部分 写作（共两节，满分30分）
第一节（共5小题；满分10分）
阅读下面短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
主题：人与自然——自然生态
Scientists have discovered that elephants have a unique way of communicating. They use low-frequency sounds called “rumbles.” Many of these sounds are too low for humans to hear. These rumbles can travel long distances, up to several kilometers, through the ground.
A recent study found that elephants have individual “names” for each other. Researchers used AI to analyze hundreds of elephant rumbles. They found that certain sounds were used to address specific elephants. When they played back a rumble that was meant for a particular elephant, that elephant would respond positively and move toward the speaker. Other elephants did not react to the same call.
This ability to use names is rare in the animal kingdom. It shows that elephants have complex social structures and strong bonds. They are able to recognize and call out to specific individuals, even from far away.
This discovery helps scientists better understand elephant intelligence and social life. It also highlights the importance of protecting these amazing animals and their habitats.
41. What sounds do elephants use to communicate over long distances? (2分)
42. How did researchers find out that elephants have names for each other? (2分)
43. How did an elephant react when it heard its own “name”? (2分)
44. What does this discovery show about elephants? (2分)
45. Why does the writer think it is important to protect elephants? (2分)
