Last summer, I decided to volunteer at a community center in a small rural town. I had always lived in the city, and the idea of spending two months in a place where life moved at a slower pace was both exciting and intimidating. Little did I know, this experience would change my perspective on life and help me grow in ways I never expected.
The community center served as a hub (中心) for local activities, offering after-school programs for children, English classes for adults, and support for elderly residents. My main role was to assist with the children’s programs. Every morning, I helped organize games, art projects, and reading sessions. At first, I struggled to connect with the kids. Many of them were shy, and I felt unsure of how to engage them. But over time, I learned to be patient and creative. I started using storytelling and hands-on activities to capture their attention, and soon, the classroom was filled with laughter and enthusiasm.
One of the most memorable moments was when a young girl named Lily, who had barely spoken a word during the first week, finally opened up. She shared her dream of becoming a teacher and even helped me lead a reading session. Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have.
By the end of the summer, I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself. I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds, and appreciate the simple joys of life. This experience inspired me to continue volunteering and to approach challenges with a more open mind.

A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Fulfilled. D. Relaxed.
27. What can we learn about the author’s personal growth from the last paragraph
A. Gained self-awareness and adaptability.
B. Developed a focus on technical expertise.
C. Strengthened commitment to community service.
D. Prioritized academic achievements over experiences.

The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Queensland, Australia, is one of the most extraordinary natural wonders on Earth. Stretching over 2,300 kilometers, it is not only the largest coral reef system in the world but is also visible from space. Home to thousands of species of marine life, including fish, turtles, sharks, and corals, the reef is a biodiversity hot spot and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The reef’s vibrant ecosystem is built by tiny organisms called coral polyps. These creatures produce calcium carbonate (碳酸鹽) to form hard skeletons, which over time create the complex structures we recognize as coral reefs. The reef’s health depends on a delicate balance of environmental conditions, including water temperature, salinity, and sunlight.
However, the Great Barrier Reef faces significant threats. Climate change is the most pressing issue, as rising ocean temperatures cause coral bleaching — a phenomenon where corals expel the algae (海藻) that give them color and nutrients. Without these algae, corals turn white and become more susceptible to disease. Pollution from agricultural runoff and plastic waste further worsens the problem, while overfishing disrupts the reef’s ecological balance.
Efforts to protect the reef are underway. The Australian government has implemented (貫徹) stricter regulations on fishing and pollution, and scientists are exploring innovative solutions such as coral farming and genetic engineering to restore damaged areas. Public awareness campaigns also play a crucial role in encouraging sustainable practices among tourists and local communities.
Despite these efforts, the future of the Great Barrier Reef remains uncertain. Experts warn that without immediate and coordinated global action, the reef could lose much of its biodiversity within the next few decades. This would not only be a tragedy for marine life but also have devastating (毀滅性的) consequences for the millions of people who depend on the reef for their livelihoods.
28. What makes the Great Barrier Reef visible from space
A. Its UNESCO World Heritage status. B. The vibrant colors of coral polyps.
C. Its length of over 2,300 kilometers. D. The high density of marine species.
29. Why are coral polyps essential to the reef’s structure
A. They provide nutrients to algae.
B. They control water temperature and salinity.
C. They protect the reef from plastic pollution.
D. They form hard skeletons using calcium carbonate.
30. What is the main cause of coral bleaching
A. Agricultural runoff increasing salinity. B. Rising ocean temperatures forcing algae out.
C. Overfishing destroying ecological balance. D. Plastic waste blocking sunlight penetration.
31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about saving the Great Barrier Reef
A. Global cooperation is critical to its survival.
B. Reducing tourism is the most urgent step.
C. Technological solutions alone will succeed.
D. Australia’s current efforts are sufficient.
D
Urban green spaces, such as parks, gardens, and tree-lined streets, have long been recognized for their aesthetic (審美的) and environmental benefits. However, recent research highlights their significant impact on mental health, particularly in densely (密集地) populated cities. A study conducted by researchers at the University of Cambridge analyzed data from over 10,000 urban residents across 15 cities worldwide, revealing a strong correlation between access to green spaces and improved mental well-being.
The study found that individuals living within 500 meters of a green space reported lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression compared to those without such access. Researchers attribute (歸因于) this to several factors. First, green spaces provide opportunities for physical activity, such as walking, jogging, or cycling, which are known to reduce stress hormones and boost mood. Second, exposure to nature has a calming effect on the brain, reducing mental fatigue and improving concentration. Third, green spaces foster social interactions, creating a sense of community and belonging that can alleviate feelings of loneliness.
Interestingly, the study also revealed that the quality of green spaces matters more than their size. Well-maintained parks with diverse vegetation, seating areas, and recreational facilities had a greater positive impact than larger but poorly maintained areas. This suggests that urban planners should prioritize the design and upkeep of green spaces to maximize their mental health benefits.
Despite these findings, the study also identified challenges. In many cities, green spaces are unevenly distributed, with wealthier neighborhoods having better access than low-income areas. This inequality highlights the need for policies that ensure equitable (公平合理的) access to green spaces for all residents.
The researchers recommend several strategies to address these issues. These include increasing investment in urban green infrastructure, integrating green spaces into urban planning, and promoting community involvement in maintaining local parks. By prioritizing green spaces, cities can not only enhance mental health but also address broader environmental challenges, such as air pollution and climate change.
32. What did the study find about individuals living near green spaces
A. They had higher levels of stress. B. They preferred indoor activities.
C. They were less physically active. D. They enhanced mental health.
33. What does the underlined word “alleviate” mean in paragraph 2
A. Reduce. B. Increase. C. Ignore. D. Create.
34. How is the text mainly developed
A. By narrating personal experiences.
B. By criticizing urban planning policies.
C. By comparing different types of green spaces.
D. By presenting research findings and their effects.
35. What is the best title for the text
A. Designing Effective Urban Green Spaces
B. The Multifaceted Benefits of Urban Green Spaces
C. Green Spaces: A Key to Enhancing Mental Health
D. Strategies for Equitable Access to Urban Nature

Dear Mark,
I’m writing to invite you to a special community event — “Traditional Culture Enters Communities” at the City Cultural Center Plaza this Saturday, June 15th, 3:00 PM. As an exchange student, this is a great chance to connect with locals and deepen your understanding of Chinese culture through hands-on experiences.
The event features vibrant traditional dances telling ancient stories, beautiful folk music performances played on instruments like the guzheng and erhu, and interactive workshops where you can try calligraphy or paper-cutting. As many neighbors will participate, it’s a wonderful opportunity to meet people and learn about daily life in China. For instance, during the dragon dance workshop, you’ll not only watch professionals but also practice simple moves with locals — a fantastic way to bond with the community!
Considering the outdoor setting, please wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes to stay comfortable during activities. To ensure you get a good seat, arriving 20 minutes early is recommended. Also, bringing a reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated throughout the event. I’m looking forward to your company.
Yours,
Li Hua

17-20. 【原文】M: The summer vacation in New Delhi begins in May 1st every year. Much before it began we started planning how to spend it. I suggested that we should go to Shillong. But my sister insisted that we see Darjeeling. My father decided that we would go to both places with one month’s stay at each place. So, it was decided that we would be going first to Shillong and then to Darjeeling. We left the New Delhi Railway Station four days after the vacation began. It was a very long and tiring journey. The train reached Guwahati in the evening. The next day, early in the morning we drove to Shillong. We stayed there for nearly a month in the hotel.
