阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
DIY, short for “do-it-yourself”, is a fun way to create things on your own. Many people love DIY because it brings them __16_ and helps them save money. Last month, I joined a DIY course to learn handcrafts, and it taught me a lot about patience and creativity.
On the first day, the teacher showed us how to make a paper rose. She gave each of us a piece of red __17__, a roll of tape and some glue. First, we cut the paper into a spiral. Then we __18__ it from the outer edge to the center. I folded too fast—my rose looked lopsided. I felt a little __19__, but the teacher helped me fix it, and finally my rose looked beautiful.
The second class was about tie-dye. We used white cloth, dye and thread. We __20__ the cloth into a ball and tied it tightly. The teacher said the tighter we tied, the more interesting the __21__ would be. After 15 minutes, I __22__ the thread. The bright blue pattern surprised me—I was so __23__ that I showed it to the whole class.
We also learned to make a small shelf with wooden boards, nails and a hammer. At first, I hit my finger by accident. I then learned to hold the hammer __24__ and hit nails carefully. My finished shelf wasn’t perfect, but it was made by myself.
One day, my friend asked me to make a lamp with her. We prepared a metal can, paint and a light bulb. I told her we __25__ read instructions first, but she didn’t listen. She spilled paint, and we had to clean up. This made me realize following rules is key in DIY.
Later, I tried making mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I mixed flour, sugar and oil to make dough, then wrapped red bean paste inside. After practicing, I made __26__ ones that my family said tasted delicious. I also joined a school DIY club and won third prize in a competition with my tie-dye scarf, which had a unique __27__.
DIY helps me reduce __28__—when I’m stressed from study, folding paper or painting makes me relax and forget my worries. Now I often share DIY works with friends. Once, I taught my deskmate to make a paper rose, and she taught me to __29__ old boxes into storage boxes. It’s fun to learn from each other.
DIY is more than a hobby—it’s meaningful. It teaches me to be creative and brave to try. I believe it will always be part of my life, bringing me __30__ and growth.
16. A. joy B. stress C. trouble D. worry
17. A. chalk B. cloth C. paper D. wood

三、阅读理解（每小题2分，共18分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Last summer, I joined a community volunteer program to teach kids how to do simple DIY projects. At first, I was nervous—I’d never led a group of children before, and I worried my lessons would be boring. I even practiced my explanations repeatedly the night before, afraid I’d stumble over steps or fail to keep their attention.
On the first day, I planned to teach them to make paper planes with decorative patterns. I brought colored paper, markers, stickers, and step-by-step drawings. But as soon as I started, the kids bombarded me with questions: “Can we add glitter ” “What if we fold it to fly farther ” Instead of sticking to my plan, I let them experiment. One girl made a plane with butterfly wings and sparkles, while a boy turned his into a spaceship with extra folds. By the end of the hour, the room was filled with unique creations, and the kids were laughing as they raced their planes across the floor.
Over the next few weeks, we tried more projects—tie-dye bandanas, pencil holders from recycled cans, and handmade greeting cards. Once, a shy boy who barely spoke at first spent an entire session perfecting a tie-dye scarf for his mom’s birthday. When he showed it to the group, everyone cheered, and his face lit up with a smile. I learned that the best part of DIY isn’t making something perfect; it’s letting creativity flow.
This experience didn’t just improve my DIY skills—it also helped me understand the joy of sharing and guiding others. Now, whenever I do a DIY project, I remember those summer afternoons and the magic of letting imagination lead the way. It’s a reminder that small, flexible moments can bring the most happiness.

Last month, students from No. 3 Middle School started a “Green Classroom” project to make their school more eco-friendly. The idea came from Li Hua, an eighth-grader who noticed many wasteful habits in classrooms—lights left on during lunch breaks, paper thrown away when only one side was used, and plastic bottles piling up in trash cans.
“We wanted to do something small but practical to help the environment,” Li Hua said. With their teacher’s support, the students made a detailed plan. They put up bright “Save Electricity” posters near light switches and “Recycle Me” signs on newly placed recycling boxes—one for paper, one for plastic, and one for cans. They also gave a short speech in each class to explain why these changes mattered, sharing simple facts like “a single plastic bottle takes over 400 years to break down.”
Another part of the project was “Adopt a Tree.” Each class chose a young tree on the school campus, named it, and took turns watering it after class. The students even made small name tags for the trees, writing messages like “Grow with us, little pine!”
After just one month, the results were surprising. The school’s electricity bill dropped by 30%, and over half of the paper and plastic waste was recycled instead of going to landfills. The trees also added greenery to the campus, making it a nicer place to study. “I used to throw away half-used paper without thinking,” said one student. “Now I know even small actions can help protect our planet.”
Li Hua and her classmates plan to keep the project going. They’re also thinking of adding a “No Plastic Straws” rule in the school cafeteria and inviting local environmentalists to give talks. “Protecting the environment isn’t just adults’ work,” Li Hua said. “Every student can make a difference.”
34. What was the purpose of the “Green Classroom” project
A. To make the school more eco-friendly.
B. To help students get better grades.
C. To celebrate the school’s anniversary.
D. To collect money for new trees.
35. What did the students do as part of the project
A. They stopped using paper completely.
B. They put up posters and set up recycling boxes.
C. They planted trees in the city park.
D. They asked families to stop using electricity.
36. How much did the school’s electricity bill drop after one month
A. 10%. B. 30%. C. 50%. D. 70%.
C
A new study from Green Earth Organization has found that small daily actions can make a big difference in protecting the environment. The study looked at 500 middle school students across three cities and analyzed how their daily habits affect the planet.
The researchers found that using single-use plastics is the biggest environmental problem from students’ habits. Over 80% of the students said they often use plastic straws, disposable lunch boxes, or plastic water bottles. These plastics don’t break down easily—some can take hundreds of years to decompose—and often end up in oceans or forests, harming animals like sea turtles and birds that might eat them by mistake.
However, the study also showed encouraging results. Students who changed small habits reduced their “environmental footprint” significantly. For example, bringing a reusable water bottle instead of buying plastic ones saved about 150 plastic bottles per student a year. Using cloth bags for shopping instead of plastic bags cut down plastic waste by 70%, and reusing notebook paper (writing on both sides) saved tons of wood from being cut down for paper production.
Another positive change was garbage sorting. Schools that taught students to separate recyclables (like paper, glass, and plastic) from kitchen waste and other trash reduced landfill waste by 40%. “Kids are quick to learn these green habits, and they often encourage their parents to join in too,” said Dr. Lee, who led the study.
The study suggests that schools and families work together to promote eco-friendly habits. Simple steps like saying “no” to plastic straws, recycling regularly, and planting small potted plants at home can all help keep the planet healthy for future generations.
37. What is the biggest environmental problem from the students’ habits
A. Using too much water. B. Wasting paper.
C. Using single-use plastics. D. Forgetting to turn off lights.
38. How many plastic bottles can a student save a year by using a reusable one
A. About 70. B. About 150. C. About 400. D. About 500.
39. What happened in schools that taught garbage sorting
A. Landfill waste dropped by 40%. B. Students used more plastic bags.
C. Marine life became safer immediately. D. Families stopped using plastic bottles.
四、信息还原（每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you’ve ever seen a dog bark at a stranger near its home, you’ve watched territorial behavior. ____40____ Many animals, from small birds to large wolves, protect specific areas in the wild. This behavior isn’t random—it’s a key part of helping them survive and thrive.
First, territories give animals access to key resources. They need steady food, clean water, and safe shelter to live and raise their young. By defending a territory with these basics, animals don’t have to compete with strangers for survival. ____41____ For example, birds often claim areas with plenty of insects, which are perfect for feeding their hungry chicks.
Second, territories help animals find and attract mates. Male birds sing loud, clear songs to mark their territories—this tells female birds they have a safe, resource-rich space to nest. ____42____ Stronger, more capable animals usually hold the best territories, making them more appealing to potential mates.
Third, animals mark their territories in clever ways. Some, like cats, leave subtle scent marks with their paws. Others, like wolves, howl loudly to warn other animals away from their space. ____43____ These signals are clear and effective, letting other animals know the area is taken without costly fights.
Finally, territorial behavior keeps animal groups organized. When each family or group has its own space, there’s less conflict over food, water, or nesting spots. ____44____ This balance helps entire populations stay healthy and avoid unnecessary harm.
From barking dogs to singing birds, territorial behavior is a smart survival skill that helps animals thrive in the wild!
A. This avoids unnecessary fights and saves energy.
B. Territories are chosen for the resources they offer.
C. This behavior isn’t just anger—it’s protecting their space.
D. Female animals prefer mates that can defend good territories.
E. Some animals also use visual signals, like bright feathers.
F. Many animals will fight to keep their territories safe.
G. Territorial behavior is common in both male and female animals.

六、任务型阅读，阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（每小题2分，共8分）
April 22 is World Earth Day, a global event that has been celebrated since 1970. Its main purpose is to remind people of the importance of protecting our planet and encourage everyone to take small but meaningful actions for the environment. This year, many schools in China chose the theme “Fight Against Plastic Waste” to help students understand the harm of plastic pollution and develop eco-friendly habits.
At Sunshine Middle School, the students held a week-long “No Plastic Challenge” activity. During the week, they were asked to avoid all single-use plastics—including plastic straws, disposable lunch boxes, plastic bags, and even plastic water bottles. Instead, most students brought reusable items from home: metal straws, cloth shopping bags, and glass or stainless steel water bottles. “I used to ask for a plastic straw every time I bought juice or milk at the school store,” said Li Ming, an eighth-grader. “At first, it felt a bit inconvenient, but now I’m used to drinking directly from the bottle. It’s a small change, but I know it helps reduce plastic waste.”
To make the activity more educational, the school also invited a local environmentalist to give a talk. He shared shocking facts with the students: a single plastic bottle can take over 400 years to break down in nature, and millions of tons of plastic end up in oceans every year, harming sea turtles, birds, and other marine life. He also taught students practical ways to cut down plastic use in daily life, such as reusing glass jars to store snacks, using beeswax wraps instead of plastic cling film, and choosing products with less plastic packaging.
After the challenge ended, the students didn’t stop their efforts. They made colorful posters with slogans like “Say No to Single-Use Plastics, Save Our Blue Planet” and put them up in their community, at the nearby supermarket, and even on social media. They also invited their family members to join the “no plastic” promise, hoping to spread the idea of environmental protection to more people.
1. What is the main purpose of World Earth Day
2. How long did Sunshine Middle School’s “No Plastic Challenge” last
3. What did the environmentalist share about plastic bottles
4. What did students do to spread the idea of environmental protection after the activity
