Well, according to a new study, cats have many different facial expressions, which show how they are feeling. The research was carried out by the scientists at the University of California, in the US. They visited a local cat café over several months to record videos of 53 cats, collecting 194 minutes of videos. They found that the cats have 276 different expressions. “Each expression was a mixture of lip different facial movements, which included licking (舔) their nose, opening their mouth, or widening the pupils of their eyes,” said the scientists. They also found cats use 26 of these facial movements in total, which can be mixed to express how they are feeling. Dogs use 27 facial movements and humans use a total of 44. Out of the expressions they recorded, 45% were friendly and 37% were angry. “A friendly cat moves its ears and whiskers forward and closes its eyes. However, an angry cat often flattens its ears to its head, makes its pupils smaller and licks its lips,” said the team. Although the researchers aren’t sure what the cats were trying to communicate with each other using their faces, they plan to study cats in other places to improve their understanding. They also hope that the research could help animal shelters (收容所) improve the way they look after the cats. Some pet owners even suggest the researchers develop an app for them to find out what their cats’ facial expressions really mean. 6．Which of the following uses the most facial movements? A．Humans.

They spend about 1,700,000,000 pounds on cards every year. However, the number of people sending cards and letters is falling. More than 30 percent of UK children have never sent or received a handwritten letter. Should the tradition of sending cards and letters be stopped? Group A: We live in a fast-developing world and using snail mail is unnecessary. Making paper uses lots of energy and some cards are hard to recycle. It’s bad for environment. What’s more, cards are expensive to buy and so is posting. Nowadays, we usually use our phones and computers because they are quick, easy and free. Traditional cards and letters are out of date. They are not young people’s cup of tea. It’s no surprise that most of them end up as litter. Group B:The tradition has been around for hundreds of years and should stay. Sending a handwritten letter or carefully chosen card shows that you care. Phone messages and emails are quick and easy, but they seem to carry less feeling. Sending letters is good for children because it is a chance to practice writing skills. Also, it’s fun! Receiving post makes you feel special and it’s important if someone lives far away or is lonely—just imagine a birthday without cards! 16．What’s the discussion mainly about?

To support himself, he mentioned a study that found at least a third of American adults sleep more in winter. So do people need to hibernate (冬眠) like some animals on cold days? Another study done at a hospital in Berlin may help you find out the answer. 188 patients in the study slept about an hour longer in winter, with 30 more minutes of rapid eye movement (REM). REM is a period of sleep where we dream more and our breathing speeds up. “REM helps us remember things and stay happy, and keeps us healthy,” said Dasgupta. The need for more sleep in winter may have to do with how light fluctuates. “Our bodies use sunlight to set our sleep clocks. When it’s bright outside, we are usually active. But when the sun goes down, we may feel tired, “ Dasgupta said. “Less sunlight on cold days causes an increase in melatonin (褪黑素) produced by our bodies, which makes us feel sleepy.” Because of more production of melatonin, people naturally think a healthy person needs more sleep in winter. However, that doesn’t mean humans really need hibernation. “We just need to have a better rest from busy social work in winter, by getting more sunlight in the morning and going to bed and waking up at the same time every day,” said another researcher, Dr. Carleara Weiss. 21．Why did Dasgupta mention the study in Para.1? A．To show that sleeping more in winter is natural. B．To introduce the living habits of American adults. C．To explain why people feel like sleeping more in winter. 22．Which of the following is not mentioned about REM? A．Its causes. B．Its full name. C．Its advantages. 23．Which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word fluctuates? A． B． C． 24．Which question does Para. 3 mainly answer? A．What chemical makes us feel sleepy? B．Why do we want more sleep in winter? C．How does the weather influence our health? 25．What is Weiss’ advice on sleeping in winter? A．To work less and sleep more. B．To take an active part in social life. C．To stay outdoors longer and have a fixed sleep time. （2024·四川成都·三模） Host: Recently when correcting the students’ homework, an English teacher from Henan Province found one of her students had used “栓Q” (a popular online expression meaning “thank you” in English) in his writing. She photoed this writing clearly and shared it online. That caused heated discussions among students. Group A: Online expressions are funny.

It seems every few days people have made up another new expression and forgotten others. This is even truer for online expressions.

Recently, a mother’s unique idea about her kids’ playtime has caught people’s attention online. Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour where they get to do “whatever” they want. She calls it “whatever-makes-you-happy hour”. Meeks’ idea arose naturally from one of her kids’ suggestions. “One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk and carry on a conversation. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, “Can I paint my hands? And I was like, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other,’ ” Meeks recalls. “And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we’d be like, ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.’” But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries (界限). “If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in,” she adds,“And we don’t let them watch TV.” Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it’s a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time, it’s also a great way to allow time for them to explore and play the way they want. “Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family,” Meeks says. She views “whatever-makes-you-happy hour” as a daily period to make new memories and build a good family relationship. 31．How does the author start the passage? A．By explaining a fact.

C．Successful. 35．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To show a new kind of family relationship. B．To give advice on how to deal with children. C．To share a special way to educate children. （2024·四川成都·三模）Have you ever used the Post-it Note? The Post-it Note is a common object that is of great use in our everyday life. It is not only helpful for students but also a necessary office supply (用品). The start of the Post-it Note can date back to the 1970s when it was accidentally invented by a scientist named George Little. One day, while George Little was working in his laboratory, he developed a special adhesive (粘合剂) by accident that was very sticky but could be easily peeled off without leaving any residue (残留物).

Nearly half of the big cities in China are sinking, putting local people in harm’s way in the coming decades, according to a new report by more than 50 scientists at Chinese research institutes. The land is getting lower as the ocean gets higher. That means tens of millions of people are already at risk, and that could grow to hundreds of millions by 2060 if China’s cities continue to grow in population and subside (下陷) at the same time. B ? After a week of talks in Canada, leaders from 170 countries are nearing a deal on a global agreement to cut plastic waste.

The bill (账单) was almost $200 and in Canada, it’s normal to leave a 15% tip. The waiter looked upset—he must have thought Vic was unhappy about his service.

As he was doing his daily practice one day, a big crowd came around him, and cheered in excitement each time he hit his target.

A March 2023 report from Goldman Sachs showed that AI could do a quarter of the work done by humans. Across the European Union and the US, the report further notes that 300 million jobs could be lost to automation (自动化). Thankfully, it’s not all bad news. The experts also add that there are still things AI cannot do. These tasks have clear human qualities, like emotional intelligence and creative thinking. “I think there are generally three kinds of jobs that are going to be safe,” says Martin Ford, writer of Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. “The first would be jobs that are creative enough to come up with new ideas and build something new.” The second is jobs that require complicated (复杂的) interpersonal relationships. Ford points to nurses, businessmen and reporters. “These are jobs,” he says, “where you need a very deep understanding of people. I think it’ll be a long time before AI has the ability to interact (交流) in the kinds of ways that really build relationships.” “The third safe one,” says Ford, “is jobs that really require lots of mobility (机动性) and dexterity (灵活性) and problem-solving ability in unpredictable environments. These are the kinds of jobs where you’re dealing with a new situation all the time, so they are probably the hardest of anything to automate.” “It’s important to note,” says Ford, “that a higher education or a high-paying position is not a protection against AI takeover. In short, looking for roles in changing environments that include unpredictable tasks is a good way to stop jobs from being taken by AI. At least, for a while.” 61．According to the Goldman Sachs, what percentage of jobs done by humans will AI do? A．25 B．75 C．50 62．What does the underlined phrase “These tasks” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．The jobs AI cannot do. B．Some pieces of bad news. C．The jobs taken by AI. 63．Which of the following is a good way to stop human jobs from being replaced by AI? A．Getting a higher education. B．Repeating a task many times. C．Dealing with different tasks well. 64．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Martin Ford? A．AI can have a deep understanding of humans. B．Being a businessman is one of the hardest jobs. C．Jobs with creative thinking are less at risk of being replaced. 65．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Some good ways to get jobs. B．The jobs that won’t be taken by AI. C．Different opinions about jobs. （2024·四川成都·二模）The village basketball tournament (联赛) in Taipan village, Taijiang county, in Guizhou Province, has become popular since last year.

Do you feel happy when you see a cute dog, but do they feel the same way? It’s hard to tell what animals are thinking because they have no ability to speak like us. Humans have many different feelings, but it’s difficult to understand what animals are feeling. We might think we know our pets the best because we spend a lot of time with them. Some people have dogs as pets because they are friendly to us, even love us. But love could just be a human feeling. Professor Kim Bard did an experiment to test pets’ feelings. It turns out that some dogs show the same feeling when their owner pretends (假装) to cry, but not with strangers. However, it’s harder for cats to work out. Other animals, like giraffes and whales, also experience great sadness when someone in their group dies. Nowadays, people are starting to consider their well-being more. In the UK, new legislation (立法) means all animals will be considered in law as sentient living things, even tiny insects. Research shows they can feel a degree of feelings, such as being happy, sad, angry, or frightened. Dr Barbara J King says, “If we understand how deeply animals can feel feelings, do we really need zoos around the world? This is a question.” Understanding animal feelings is important because it helps us treat them in a proper way. 71．Why is it difficult for people to understand animals’ feelings? A．Animals can’t talk like people. B．People can’t get along well with animals. C．People have little time to be with animals. 72．What ability do the animals show in the experiment? A．Pets have the same feeling as strangers. B．Cats have the same feeling as their owners.
