Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box.
Proper locations
Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (暴露) in the morning and shade in the afternoon are ideal.

Scientists from Washington State University invented a robot. It could help old people with dementia (痴呆) or people who have difficulty living by themselves in their own homes.
The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses sensors (传感器) to find out where its owners are, what they are doing and when they need help with daily activities. It runs around rooms to find people on its own and can even lead them to things like medicine or snacks in the kitchen.
At present, about 50% of the adults over the age of 85 in the US need help with daily activities such as cooking meals and taking medicine. The cost for this help is nearly $2,000 billion every year. That’s why scientists invented RAS. Scientists did a study to show how RAS could make life easier for older adults. In the study, they asked 26 young participants (参与者) to complete three activities in a smart home with RAS. The participants needed to walk the dog, take medicine and water house plants. When the sensors found someone was struggling with one of the things, RAS received a message to help. The robot then used its sensors to find the person and provide help.
When scientists asked the participants about the robot, someone said, “When I get older, I prefer to have one in my home.” Others also thought so.
19. Which is NOT mentioned about RAS in the first two paragraphs?
A. Who invented it. B. Who might need it.
C. How people invented it. D. How it helps its owners.
20. Which word can best describe the help for the adults above 85 in the US?

21. What did most participants think of the robot?
A. They thought it could be better. B. They thought it could help people a lot.
C. They thought it was not useful. D. They thought they didn’t need it.
22. What is the main idea of the passage?

One evening in March, while having dinner at the school canteen, he noticed a classmate’s face turning purple as he tried to breathe. “Oh no, something is stuck in his throat!” Cao quickly realized the problem and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Standing behind his classmate, Cao pressed hard into his chest with upward thrusts (推力). After trying many times, a large rice ball came out of the classmate’s throat.
Cao learned the Heimlich maneuver during a safety education class at Jiangyan Licai Experimental School. “The teacher showed us the process in detail and we practiced with each other,” said Cao. The school organizes safety education classes every month and encourages students to take online courses on the Ministry of Education’s online safety education platform (教育部学校安全教育平台).
Sun Fu, the vice principal of Suzhou Foreign Language School, said that safety education should have different forms such as competitions, and role-playing activities. “The more forms the activities are, the more interested the students will be,” Sun said.

If you had to describe yourself to someone else, what would you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but realizing who you are can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self-awareness (自我认知) means knowing your thoughts, feelings and behavior, and understanding how you fit into the world. If you are self-aware, you may know that you love playing basketball because you are good at it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are good at and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and even which films to watch. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of the ten important life skills that help young people lead happier and healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding for other people, too.
A good way to learn about anything is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you are arguing. If you are wondering whether you’ll like a book, ask yourself what were the last three books you loved and what you liked about them. Looking for patterns in your own likes and dislikes is a good way to learn more about yourself.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you find difficult and challenging is a key part of learning more about yourself.
27 What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What self-awareness is. B. Why self-awareness is important.
C. When self-awareness works. D. How to develop self-awareness.
28. Which question may help you know the reason why you always make mistakes according to Paragraph 4?
A. “What mistakes did I always make?”
B. “How will I avoid making mistakes?”
C. “When did I make such mistakes last time?”
D. “Why do I always make such mistakes?”
29. Who may have an interest in the text?
A. The people who love playing basketball.
B. The people who are good at schoolwork.
C. The people who prefer to try out new things.
D. The people who want to learn more about themselves.
30. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Thinking of Yourself B. Fitting Into the World
C. Getting to Know Yourself D. Asking Yourself Questions
【答案】27. A 28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了自我认知的重要性以及如何提高自我认知。

Less Pressure, Better Life
Hello, boys and girls! I’m glad to stand here and give you a short speech. My topic is “Less Pressure, Better Life”. I hope you’ll like it.
Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in my class feel stressed from time to time. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams. I’m always under pressure, too. My parents wanted me to be the top student in class. So they sent me to all kinds of after-school classes at weekends. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last.
So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem. That’s all. Thank you!

Nowadays many people go camping for fun. Camping can be enjoyed in the backyard or deep in the wilderness (荒野). Whether camping for one night or several weeks, being prepared is the key.
Endless fun
Once the tent, your base, is put up and the fire area is prepared, there is lots to do. Fishing and hiking are just some of the fun activities. At night, campers often sit by the fire, talking and telling stories. If the weather turns rainy, campers usually wait it out in their tents, reading, drawing or playing games.
Required equipment
Shelter, bedclothes, food and water are necessary. Deciding what else you will need depends on the kind of camping trip you are planning and the length of your tip. Pack light if you are going to carry equipment. Clothing should be prepared enough to protect against bad weather and insects. A hat, whistle, bug repellent (驱虫剂) and rope may come in handy. Don’t forget a flashlight, a compass, cookers and a first-aid box.
Proper locations
Where you decide to set up your campsite is very important. Look for a high and dry location if it rains. The ground should be level because hills and rocks are uncomfortable to sleep on. A sunny exposure (暴露) in the morning and shade in the afternoon are ideal.
________
Whenever you camp, it is important to respect the environment around you. If you are in a park, make sure to follow its rules. Put your waste in rubbish bins. If you are in the wilderness, keep noise to a minimum (最小的) and do not disturb the plants or animals.

Scientists from Washington State University invented a robot. It could help old people with dementia (痴呆) or people who have difficulty living by themselves in their own homes.
The Robot Activity Support System, or RAS, uses sensors (传感器) to find out where its owners are, what they are doing and when they need help with daily activities. It runs around rooms to find people on its own and can even lead them to things like medicine or snacks in the kitchen.
At present, about 50% of the adults over the age of 85 in the US need help with daily activities such as cooking meals and taking medicine. The cost for this help is nearly $2,000 billion every year. That’s why scientists invented RAS. Scientists did a study to show how RAS could make life easier for older adults. In the study, they asked 26 young participants (参与者) to complete three activities in a smart home with RAS. The participants needed to walk the dog, take medicine and water house plants. When the sensors found someone was struggling with one of the things, RAS received a message to help. The robot then used its sensors to find the person and provide help.
When scientists asked the participants about the robot, someone said, “When I get older, I prefer to have one in my home.” Others also thought so.
19. Which is NOT mentioned about RAS in the first two paragraphs?
A. Who invented it. B. Who might need it.
C. How people invented it. D. How it helps its owners.
20. Which word can best describe the help for the adults above 85 in the US?
A. Easy. B. Difficult. C. Careless. D. Expensive.
21. What did most participants think of the robot?
A. They thought it could be better. B. They thought it could help people a lot.
C. They thought it was not useful. D. They thought they didn’t need it.
22. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Home robots are very popular.
B. Aging will bring many problems soon.
C. Old people will look after themselves in the future.
D. Smart robots could help old people live easier.
C
On June 17, 2023, 16-year-old Cao Chenzhe from Jiangsu gave away 5,000 yuan to the Disabled Persons’ Federation in Jiangsu to help children. The money was for his brave act of using the Heimlich maneuver (海姆立克急救法) to save a classmate’s life.
Cao clearly remembered that day. One evening in March, while having dinner at the school canteen, he noticed a classmate’s face turning purple as he tried to breathe. “Oh no, something is stuck in his throat!” Cao quickly realized the problem and performed the Heimlich maneuver. Standing behind his classmate, Cao pressed hard into his chest with upward thrusts (推力). After trying many times, a large rice ball came out of the classmate’s throat.
Cao learned the Heimlich maneuver during a safety education class at Jiangyan Licai Experimental School. “The teacher showed us the process in detail and we practiced with each other” said Cao. The school organizes safety education classes every month and encourages students to take online courses on the Ministry of Education’s online safety education platform (教育部学校安全教育平台).
Sun Fu, the vice principal of Suzhou Foreign Language School, said that safety education should have different forms such as competitions, and role-playing activities. “The more forms the activities are, the more interested the students will be,” Sun said.
When talking about safety education, Cao hoped students of his age to take it seriously. Every student should learn to protect themselves and others in a scientific way,” he said.
23. How did Cao Chenzhe get 5,000 yuan?
A. People gave it away to him.
B. He got a prize for saving a classmate’s life.
C. He saved the money by himself.
D. His parents gave him for his brave act.
24. What happened to a classmate at the school canteen one day?
A. He had a fever. B. He hurt his face.
C. His throat was stuck. D. He had a headache.
25. What is Sun Fu’s opinion about safety education?
A. Schools needn’t have safety education.
B. Only one kind of safety education is enough.
C. The more forms of safety education, the better.
D. Parents should know about safety education.
26. What do you think of the boy Cao Chenzhe according to the passage?
A. Brave and kind. B. Quiet and shy.
C. Hard-working and creative. D. Outgoing and smart.
D
If you had to describe yourself to someone else, what would you say? It can be difficult to see yourself from the outside, but realizing who you are can help you understand feelings and make friendships closer.
Self-awareness (自我认知) means knowing your thoughts, feelings and behavior, and understanding how you fit into the world. If you are self-aware, you may know that you love playing basketball because you are good at it, and music makes you happy, or that you prefer watching TV on your own because it helps you relax.
Knowing what you like and dislike, what you are good at and what you find difficult allows you to make better decisions about friendships, schoolwork and even which films to watch. You learn to trust your own feelings more, which builds confidence. The World Health Organization says self-awareness is one of the ten important life skills that help young people lead happier and healthier lives. Being self-aware doesn’t mean only thinking of yourself. By understanding your own feelings, you have more understanding for other people, too.
A good way to learn about anything is to ask questions. Ask yourself questions that start with “What” instead of “Why”. So if you don’t understand why you keep arguing with a friend, ask yourself what you disagree on instead of why you are arguing. If you are wondering whether you’ll like a book, ask yourself what were the last three books you loved and what you liked about them. Looking for patterns in your own likes and dislikes is a good way to learn more about yourself.
Learning to be more self-aware is a skill, which means you learn it as you grow. So try out new things, like playing a new sport or listening to different music. Don’t be afraid to dislike something—discovering what you find difficult and challenging is a key part of learning more about yourself.
27. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. What self-awareness is. B. Why self-awareness is important.
C. When self-awareness works. D. How to develop self-awareness.
28. Which question may help you know the reason why you always make mistakes according to Paragraph 4?
A. “What mistakes did I always make?”
B. “How will I avoid making mistakes?”
C. “When did I make such mistakes last time?”
D. “Why do I always make such mistakes?”
29. Who may have an interest in the text?
A. The people who love playing basketball.
B. The people who are good at schoolwork.
C. The people who prefer to try out new things.
D. The people who want to learn more about themselves.
30. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Thinking of Yourself B. Fitting Into the World
C. Getting to Know Yourself D. Asking Yourself Questions
