It asked students to tell the stories of their family heirlooms (传家宝). More than 300 students took part. They brought photos of their heirlooms to school and shared their stories. Cassette radio The 14-year-old Song Zhengchen’s heirloom is a cassette radio (磁带收音机). His grandmother bought the radio in the 1980s and listened to the news on it. His mother then used it to listen to music tapes. When Song was young, his mother often played old poems for him on the radio. “There are now many more cool players. But we still keep this one because it recorded beautiful memories of my family,” said Song. Medal of honor Guo Kexing’s heirloom is a medal (奖章) from his great-grandfather. He took part in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (抗美援朝战争). For the 13-year-old, the medal stands as an honor (荣誉) for his family. “Whenever I see my great-grandfather’s medal, I feel very proud. In my heart, my great-grandfather is a hero. I see him as an example and will make my country a better place in his honor,” said Guo. Food coupons Xiao Yao, 14, won first prize in the activity. Her heirlooms are some food coupons (粮票). Her grandma used to tell her stories about food shortages (短缺) when she was a kid. Back then, people could only get so much food each month. Even buying rice needed a special coupon.

Through the activity, the school mainly want ________. A. to collect more old inventions B. to help students get into good high schools C. to make students feel proud of the motherland D. to get the students to carry on good family traditions B As a child, I spent each Thanksgiving with my large family at my grandparents’ house in Maryland, US. It’s a wooden cabin (小屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small, grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving. Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandma’s dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house. Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me how big I’d gotten. Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!”, which is old man’s English for “Hello, Calvin!” The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together. Dinner was finally served at about 4 pm. Before we ate, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “I’m thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey!” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone was finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies (南瓜派). After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin. Under the late-autumn stars, we made a campfire (营火) in the field and told stories. I looked back up the hill at the cabin in the moonlight, and one word appeared in my mind: “Thanks”. 31. What is the story mainly about? A. Why food is an important part of culture in the US. B. What Thanksgiving Day means for American people. C. What role the cabin plays in celebrating Thanksgiving. D. How the writer celebrated Thanksgiving when he was young. 32. Who was the first outside to welcome the writer home? A. Jesse. B. Aunt Sue. C. Grandpa. D. The cousins. 33. What did Grandpa mean by what he shouted? A. He didn’t know how to greet people. B. He meant to ask about the writer’s age. C. He was greeting in an old-fashioned way. D. He was asking the writer to repeat himself. 34. What does the underlined phrase “dug in” mean? A. began chatting B. started eating C. ended speaking D. made big meals 35. The writer did many things to celebrate Thanksgiving EXCEPT ________. A. he drove back to the small cabin B. he took a long walk through the woods C. he told the family who he was thankful for D. he helped move the furniture to make more room C “Turn left! Turn right!” In the information technology (IT) class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around. “This is part of our artificial intelligence (AI) courses,” said the 10th grader from Beijing 101 Middle School. The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more. “This term in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been tested in high school graduation exams (高中会考) in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui. In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing trend (趋势) in many places, with Zhejiang province being a typical example. In 2020, Zhejiang added AI education into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to build 1,000 AI experimental schools by 2025. “With the development of technology, our textbooks have been changing all the time,” said Shang Yin, an IT teacher from Beijing 101 Middle School. “From typing to using Word and Excel, and then today’s coding and AI, the courses are keeping up with the times and teaching students necessary skills.” In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is required. Even in daily life, people may need to understand things like ChatGPT and the internet of things. AI education will become increasingly important, Shang added. 36. How did the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By explaining an opinion. C. By describing a scene. D. By introducing a famous school. 37. Which of the following questions do the paragraphs 2-3 answer? A. What courses can we learn in a high school? B. Where can we learn coding through Python? C. How can we get into a famous middle school? D. What do we know about the AI class at Beijing 101 Middle School? 38. What is the point of taking Zhejiang Province as a typical example? A. Students in Zhejiang can enjoy the best education. B. AI education in schools has become more popular. C. There will be more jobs that require AI knowledge. D. Wenzhou city has the most Al experimental schools. 39. Which of the following skills appeared first? A. Typing. B. Coding. C. Using Word. D. Applying AI. 40.

It’s a wooden cabin (小屋) on the side of a hill, deep in the forest, above a small, grassy field. For me, that cabin meant Thanksgiving. Our first greeting was the excited barking of Grandma’s dog, Jesse. He met us at our car and jumped up at us as we carried our bags into the house. Inside were my grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Aunt Sue touched my face and told me how big I’d gotten. Grandpa gave me a strong handshake and shouted, “What do you say, Cal?!”, which is old man’s English for “Hello, Calvin!” The next day, by the time I woke up, Grandma and Mom had already begun cooking. Throughout the day we all helped out. The cabin was small, so we had to creatively move the furniture (家具) to make room for everyone to sit at the long table together. Dinner was finally served at about 4 pm. Before we ate, Grandma asked each person to say at least one thing that he or she was thankful for. I said, “I’m thankful for my parents, my grandma and the turkey!” I was too hungry to think of anything better. Once everyone was finished speaking, we dug in. It was all delicious food. Even better were the homemade apple and pumpkin pies (南瓜派). After dinner, we took a long walk through the woods around the cabin.
