PBL requires students to use skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and collaboration. Moreover, students are proud of their work because they will need to present their ideas to an audience (观众). PBL leads to the creation of a product. An important part of PBL is audience feedback and comments (评论). PBL can fit into any subject area. In social studies, for example, students can research the history and culture of their community, exploring a festival for the community, which includes traditional costumes, food, art, and music. In maths, students can make a quilt (被子) with symbols of their community’s heritage. This project joins knowledge of geometry, art, and history together. It would require maths skills to measure the material used to make the quilt. The quilt could be displayed at a country fair or a school meeting. In language arts, students could team up with a school from a different culture. First of all, they could exchange information through a class website. Then they could pack items that represent their school or culture. Students would give a description of each item and why it is relevant. Finally, the students could exchange the packages through the mainland ask follow-up questions about the items they received. In science, students could research plants, and they could use their findings to build a habitat (栖息地) in the school garden. This may include removing weeds, adding plants to attract butterflies, and building bird feeders. An important part of PBL is that failure is understood to be a basic part of the learning process. One of the goals of PBL is to make efforts productively and work through problems. All schools and educators should accept PBL!

Traditional artists always did their artwork in a studio and their paintings were realistic-they looked exactly like the real world. Claude Monet was part of a group of painters who were called Impressionists(印象派画家). Their paintings were light and a bit fuzzy-they gave an impression of what the real world looked like. Sometimes Impressionists worked outside, which was a very unusual thought in their time. Impressionism received its name from an early painting by Claude Monet titled impression, Sunrise. Knowing that trains were interesting subjects and represented modern progress, Claude Monet crated a series of Impressionist paintings of trains from January to March of 1877. He worked on his paintings right on the train platform at the Gare Saint-Lazare, the train station on Saint Lazare Street. Although there were many train stations in Paris, this was the first train station built in Paris so it had historical significance(意义). Monet’s friend, Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, told the following story to his sons about Claude Monet and painting the trains. Monet needed permission(允许)to spend time on the train platform and paint what he saw in his impressionistic style. One day Monet dressed himself in his very best suit along with a fine top hat, a good linen shirt and a silk tie. He appeared to be a wealthy gentleman while he really was a poor painter. When he went towards the clerk at the train office, he presented his calling card which introduced him as Claude Monet, Painter. He asked to see the station master. The clerk quickly allowed this fine gentleman to enter the station master's office. The station master was also impressed and gave Monet permission to paint on the train platform. The station master even kept trains from leaving on time so Monet could complete a scene even though passengers complained. Was it all worthwhile(值得)? Monet’s train scenes turned his career into a success and for the station master, made his train station famous until even now.

There are about 7, 000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities. Are there National Parks in England? There are nine National Parks in England. The first three were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010. Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries? Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is useful for farming and other activities. As a result, National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild and beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life. Why do visitors go to the National Parks? There are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle, following marked route, and many of the parks organize activities for families. Are there any problems in the National Parks? There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year, bringing many benefits to the areas but creating problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be swamped(充斥) by visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked (堵塞) with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; in popular areas, house prices can become too high for local people making it hard for them to stay in the area. Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is a particular(特别的) danger to animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. When these start in wild places, they are much harder to control and can damage (毁坏) large areas very quickly. How can people help? All National Parks in England promote(倡导) the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.

If we can’t remember how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we left our car keys to how we walk. Maybe it’s not surprising that sometimes we forget things. Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term memory, which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds, for example, when you hear a song but can’t remember the words afterwards. The other level is long-term memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years. There are many uses for memory. Motor-skill memory helps you remember how to ride a bike or other activities, which can be strong can be short or long term. Emotional memory makes you think of how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. They are long term. Memories can tell you the story of yourself. Information, such as which school you go to and who your friends are, is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. It’s much easier to remember all those facts, or formulas or whatever it is you’re learning if you have a good memory. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week Junior, “If I miss seeing my granny and grandad, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy.” Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things? It’s possible we don’t always store information in our memory effectively. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. It is also possible that memories decay over time. As they have not been revisited, their biological “trace” becomes weak. However, forgetting is not always a bad thing!It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. That’s something worth remembering! Introduction 1 things is an important function of our brain and it’s no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful. The types of memories ●Memory can be 2 into two levels. ●Short﹣term memory can hold information for a short time. ●Long﹣term memory can last for a long time. The importance of memories ●Motor﹣skill memory helps you remember how to do physical things. ●Emotional memory 3 you of how you felt about something. ●Memories can tell you the story of yourself. ●Memories can also help you manage 4 besides that they can make learning seem much easier. The 5 of forgetting things ●There is one 6 that information isn’t stored in our memory in an effective way. ●We can not 7 information with other things. Opinions on forgetting ●It’s not bad to forget something because it is not necessary to remember every detail of the world. ●Your opinion on forgetting. (Try to give at least one reason to support your opinion. ) 8 【答案】1．Remembering 2．divided 3．makes 4．feelings 5．reasons 6．possibility 7．connect 8．Forgetting things can also help us manage feelings. For example, When we meet unhappy things, learning to forget them is a good way. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了记忆是我们大脑的一项重要功能，然而忘记并不总是一件坏事。具体从记忆的类型和重要性、健忘的原因等做了分析，来加以说明。 1．根据文章第一段“How is your memory? If we can’t remember how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we left our car keys to how we walk. Maybe it’s not surprising that sometimes we forget things.”可知，前文介绍了记忆的重要性，即记忆是我们大脑的一项重要功能；后文介绍了有时我们会忘记一些事情，这并不奇怪两个方面，remember things记住事情，在句子中作主语，remember要用动名词形式，故填Remembering。 2．根据文章第二段开头“Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. ”可知记忆被分为两个层级，be divided into意为“被分成”，故填divided。 3．根据文章第三段中“Emotional memory makes you think of how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful.”可知情感记忆会让你想起对某事的感受，make sb do sth意为“使得某人做某事”，故填makes。 4．根据文章第四段中“Memories can also help you manage feelings. ”可知记忆能帮助我们管理情绪，故填feelings。 5．根据文章第五段开头“Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things?”可知第五段主要介绍了健忘的原因，reason意为“原因，理由”，结合后文，这里应用复数，故填reasons。 6．根据文章第五段中“It’s possible we don’t always store information in our memory effectively.”可知，有一种可能性是信息没有以有效的方式存储在我们的记忆中。空前one是基数词，修饰单数可数名词。possible可能的，是形容词，名词是possibility，故填possibility。 7．根据文章第五段中“When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. ”可知我们无法将信息与其他事物联系起来，connect…with意为“把……和……联系起来”，情态动词can后跟动词原形，故填connect。 8．根据文章最后一段“However, forgetting is not always a bad thing!It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. That’s something worth remembering!”可知，文章主要介绍了遗忘并不总是一件坏事，因此忘记事情也能帮助我们管理情绪。在我们遇到不开心的事情时，学会忘记不失为一个好办法，故填Forgetting things can also help us manage feelings. For example, When we meet unhappy things, learning to forget them is a good way. （答案不唯一） （2024·江苏南京·三模）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后每小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 Spring is the season to harvest West Lake Longjing tea, which is now picked by not only human workers but also “metal workers”—tea-picking robots! At the end of March, Hangzhou welcomed its best period of large-scale (大规模) harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea. In one tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-tech University first appeared in public after five years of research and development. With a pull and a suck (吸), the robotic arm separates the leaves from the trees and then puts them into a storage box quickly. “The robot learned its skills through a specially designed model that offers it a large amount of information of tea leaves,” said Chen Jianneng, one of the researchers. This allows the robot to recognize tea leaves by itself with a success rate (成功率) of over 90 percent, Chen added. Yet, the robot’s picking system needs improving before it can be more widely used. According to Professor Wu Chuanyu, leader of the research team, the robot can only take on the work of 1.5 workers at present. It will need to do the work of 5 workers if it is used for a large-scale harvesting. In addition, the robot can now only be used on flat ground, not on rough (崎岖不平的) surfaces such as mountains. It may take five more years to realize these goals, Wu told China News. Tea planting and processing are also changed to become “smarter”. For example, there are special lamps that can attract pests (害虫) but will not hurt other “friendly” insects. This machine works for 24 hours, using color board and lights to draw pests in day and night and then kill them with an electric grid (电网). In terms of tea roasting (炒制), although machine-roasted tea is used widely, many tea lovers argue that this method will make the tea not have the same taste with the tea made by hand-roasting. Researchers at Zhejiang University are trying to find out the tiny differences between the two methods to improve machine performance. They’re researching AI technologies to help them gain necessary information and make adjustments (调整) to roasting methods and temperatures in time.                                  When tea meets new technology Thanks to the researchers’ hard work for 1 , a small tea-picking robot made its first 2 in public to help human workers harvest West Lake Longjing tea.

It is about 6, 670 kilometres in length. It covers about 3.4 million square kilometres, which is about 10% of the area of Africa. The main source (源头) of the River Nile is the White Nile in the small country called Burundi. In Sudan, the White Nile is joined by the Blue Nile, which lows from Ethiopia. From this point on, the river is called the River Nile. In Egypt, the River Nile runs across its flat land to Cairo, where it forms a very large delta (三角洲). It then goes into the Mediterranean Sea. In the past, summer rains and melting snows made the River Nile flood its banks every autumn. These floods left behind water and rich mud, letting farmers grow crops along the riverbanks, in the delta, and to the south of it. By building a number of dams, the Egyptians control the low of water in the River Nile. The biggest dam is the Aswan High Dam. It holds floodwater back in Lake Nasser. The people who live along the River Nile no longer have to deal with the yearly flooding of their homes and land. Small canals (运河) have been built to carry water to the fields and villages. Water rushing over the dam wall is also used to produce electricity. When Lake Nasser gets hot, lots of its water changes into water vapour. The fertile (肥沃的) mud that would spread over the fields while flooding now goes down to the bottom of the lake. Without this mud, farmers in the River Nile valley now have to use chemical fertilisers (化肥) on their crops. Moreover, the soils in the delta are becoming saltier because there is less freshwater flowing down the River Nile and more saltwater from the Mediterranean Sea can flow into the delta. Most towns and cities in Egypt and Sudan are near the River Nile. For locals, the river is important for moving goods and people, especially in the flood season when road transport is difficult. Ships can travel along most of the River Nile in Egypt and Sudan, except when the water is very low. The River Nile Introduction The River Nile is about 6, 670 kilometres long.

They have become a symbol of Chinese culture. The following facts can bring you more surprises! Dragon dances can date back to the Han dynasty. They were then used in a special activity to show love and respect for ancestors (祖先)and wish for some good things, but they later developed into an entertainment activity. In the Tang and Song dynasties, most people began to celebrate festivals like the Chinese New Year with dragon dances. The dragon dance costume (戏服) is made up of a large dragon’s head, and a long tail-like body in a number of parts, which are raised on poles. The dragon body, sometimes covered with a huge red cloth, is woven (编织) with pieces of thin bamboo like long and round pipes. The costume is also made of grass, paper and so on. It can be from 2 meters to 100 meters or even over 1, 000 meters long. In our opinion, the longer the dragon’s costume is, the more good luck it will bring! As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese dragons have many good qualities. So people perform (表演) dragon dances in the hope that they will become powerful, lucky and rich. In ancient times, when it was dry for a long time, people performed a dragon dance. And dragon dances after planting crops were also a way to keep them safe from insects. Now, dragon dances are performed during some special events or festivals as a method of driving away evil spirits and welcoming rich and lively times. So, the meanings of dragon dances change as time goes by. With the spread of Chinese people and culture all over the world, dragon dances have been brought to every corner of the world. Among the Chinese New Year celebrations, dragon dances are especially attractive. Along with lion dances, they are often the most eye-catching part of the Chinese New Year parades. From Chinese New Year’s Day to the Lantern Festival, dragon dances can be seen around the world, especially in places where Chinese people gather together.

Here are some questions to help you decide. What kind of music do you like? Many instruments are versatile (多用途的), but some are more suited to certain types of music. For example, there are some classical plays for the saxophone, but people connect it more with jazz. The saxophone is not a permanent (永久的) feature of many orchestras (管弦乐队). Some instruments may lend themselves to others better than to the music you like, so think twice before you start.    Do you want to play with other people? Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what kind of instrument would be the most practical? The attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet (小号), violin, flute or lead guitar might fade (逐渐消失) when you realize how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument! If you want to play rock music, there will always be a need for bass players or drummers, and if you feel like being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed. Where are you going to practise? Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your neighbours crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practise, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Electric musical instruments like the piano, drums, guitar, and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Otherwise, you may need to go to a school or a community centre to practise. How much money can you spend? This is quite a big factor. A lot of instruments can be bought in different price ranges, for example, guitars. But this doesn’t change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one? Are there any physical limitations (限制)? If you’re small and don’t like lifting heavy instruments, you won’t want to carry around a double bass. Apart from that, use your common sense, and don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off. Who says small skinny people can’t play the tuba (大号)? It’s true that some wind instruments require a lot of lung (肺) power, but with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right skill. Still not sure? Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays several different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction. If you find an instrument you love and that suits your needs, you’ll find the time spent choosing was well worth it. Good luck with making your choice! Which musical instrument should you learn? Types of music you like ◆Many instruments are played for different types of music. ◆ Some instruments may be more 1 for certain types of music. For example, the saxophone has a strong 2 with jazz. Playing 3 or alone ◆It is 4 for you to get the main part if you choose a solo instrument. ◆If you want to 5 an orchestra, a bassoon is a good instrument because you’ll always be needed. Places to practise instruments    ◆Your neighbours will be mad at the noise from drums in your flats. ◆Electric musical instruments provide a 6 for you at night using headphones while your housemates are sleeping ◆ 7 going to other places to practise in order not to trouble others. Cost of instruments ◆Instruments like guitars have different prices. ◆You can try to borrow or rent an instrument 8 of buying it at a high price. Physical limitations ◆Don’t let your physical limitations 9 you picking up an instrument. ◆Some wind instruments need a strong lung. However, proper training can help everyone master the skills. Extra tips ◆Talk to people who play instruments and have a try. ◆Find a music teacher with rich 10 who can advise you and guide you. 【答案】 1．suited/suitable 2．connection 3．together 4．difficult/hard 5．join 6．choice 7．Consider 8．instead 9．stop/prevent 10．experience 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，为正在考虑学一种乐器的读者提供了几条建议。 1．根据“Many instruments are versatile (多用途的), but some are more suited to certain types of music.”可知，许多乐器用途广泛，但某些乐器更适合某些特定类型的音乐。suited或suitable表示“合适的”，形容词作表语。故填suited/suitable。 2．根据“there are some classical plays for the saxophone, but people connect it more with jazz”可知，萨克斯有一些古典的演奏方式，但人们更多地把它与爵士乐联系起来。因此萨克斯爵士乐有很紧密的联系，空格处应填名词，connection“联系”，名词，符合题意。故填connection。 3．根据右侧表格的描述“choose a solo instrument”和“If you want to ... an orchestra, a bassoon is a good instrument because you’ll always be needed.”可知，这一栏的内容是关于决定要学习独奏还是和他人一起演奏，空格处与alone对应，alone“独自”为副词，空格处也应填副词，together符合题意，表示“共同，一起”。故填together。 4．根据“The attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet (小号), violin, flute or lead guitar might fade (逐渐消失) when you realize how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument!”可知，当你意识到，有很多人都是通过独奏来竞争乐队的主角时，像小号、小提琴、长笛、主音吉他等炫目的独奏乐器，由于竞争激烈，吸引力也正在逐渐减弱。因此要通过独奏乐器来竞争乐队主角很难，difficult/hard“困难的”，形容词作表语。故填difficult/hard。 5．根据“if you feel like being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed”可知，如果你想成为管弦乐队的一员，巴松管是一个很好的选择，空格处表示“加入”，join符合题意，want to do sth“想要做某事”，空处使用动词原形。故填join。 6．根据“Electric musical instruments like the piano, drums, guitar, and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace.”可知，电子乐器，比如钢琴、鼓、吉他，甚至小提琴，都可以让你戴着耳机演奏到深夜，而你的室友则可以安然入睡。“give you the option”表示“为你提供一个选择”，相当于provide you a choice。a后面接单数名词，且其读音以辅音音素开头，choice“机会”符合题意。故填choice。 7．根据“Otherwise, you may need to go to a school or a community centre to practise.”可知，如果选定的乐器在演奏时可能影响到他人，可能要考虑去学校或社区中心练习。空格处后面为动名词短语，consider“考虑”，后面接动名词，此处是祈使句肯定形式，所以动词使用原形。故填Consider。 8．根据“If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one?”可知，如果你买不起你选择的乐器，你可以借别人的或租一个，而不是高价购买，根据“of buying it”可知，这里应用instead of表示“而不是”。故填instead。 9．根据“don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off”可知，不要让你身体上的缺点阻碍你选择喜欢的乐器，空格处表示“阻碍”，可用stop或prevent表示，let sb. do sth.表示“让某人做某事”，此处应填动词原形。故填stop/prevent。 10．根据“It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays several different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction.”可知，找一位有经验的音乐老师可以给你一些建议，把你引向正确的方向。此处表示“有丰富经验”，with后面应接名词，experience“经验”，不可数名词。故填experience。 （2024·江苏南京·一模）The twenty-first century is already turning out to be the century of modern technologies. The technological revolution (革命) that started after World War II is now developing more quickly. Computing and other technological development is beginning to reach into influence and take over nearly every part of our lives. The two main influences modern computing has had on our lives are in the areas of economics (经济学) and communications. Technology has led to big changes in economic and business systems and operations (经营). Businesses now have to be using cloud services or machine learning or risk failure. As a result, every big company bases its operations on computing. For example, Coca Cola, Huawei and Tencent sell different products and services, yet they all share one basic feature—without modern computing services, their operations would break down. New technologies play an important role in economies. China and many other developing countries have large IT industries, which drive their economies. What’s more, developed countries, including Germany and the United States, are moving from an industrial-based economy to a computing and IT-based one. The other important influence of technological change is in the way of communication. For example, in the past, people wrote letters or talked on fixed phones, which slowed down the communication process. Now they send e-mails and text messages, or chat using mobile phones. Instead of waiting weeks for a letter or spending time finding a fixed phone, we can communicate right away. New forms of communication are cheaper or free. As a result, now people who live thousands of kilometres away from each other can communicate as much as they want at any time. In conclusion, computing and new technologies have had a great influence on our lives in many ways. And they have had the greatest influence in business and communication. In the future, if technology continues developing at such speed,our business practices and methods of communication will have even greater changes. It is already starting to bring changes to other parts of our lives, such as transportation and health. What influence has technology had on our lives? Introduction > Great changes have taken place in technologies 1 World War II. >Computing has made a great 2 to economics and communications. 3 of main influences >Operations of big companies 4 on computing. >Large IT industries 5 countries like China to develop their economies. >New technologies have 6 Germany and USA into a computing and IT-based economy. > Technological change makes communication 7 and faster than before. >We spend 8 on communication as well. >People can communicate with each other 9 they want.

Now how about a virtual visit to stolen art? UNESCO is building the world’s first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts (文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage (遗产) protection. “Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them.” The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history. The project will be designed by Francis Kere. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral (螺旋的) central structure. When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen. Visitors will also be able to see an ivory relief from the 7th century BC． The work of a lion attacking a man was stolen from, the Baghdad Museum. A green stone mask looted from the Maya site of Rio Azul will also be on display. “These are objects that once existed, but we don’t know where they are,” said Ernesto Ottone. He is UNESCO’s assistant director’ general for culture. “We will exhibit them in a space where we can really tell the story and the context behind them.” “No one has imagined a museum like this,” Azoulay said. “The presentation of each artwork is a deep dive (深入研究) into its universe, its culture, and the society that produced it,” she added.

PBL requires students to use skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and collaboration. Moreover, students are proud of their work because they will need to present their ideas to an audience (观众). PBL leads to the creation of a product. An important part of PBL is audience feedback and comments (评论). PBL can fit into any subject area. In social studies, for example, students can research the history and culture of their community, exploring a festival for the community, which includes traditional costumes, food, art, and music. In maths, students can make a quilt (被子) with symbols of their community’s heritage. This project joins knowledge of geometry, art, and history together. It would require maths skills to measure the material used to make the quilt. The quilt could be displayed at a country fair or a school meeting. In language arts, students could team up with a school from a different culture. First of all, they could exchange information through a class website. Then they could pack items that represent their school or culture. Students would give a description of each item and why it is relevant. Finally, the students could exchange the packages through the mainland ask follow-up questions about the items they received. In science, students could research plants, and they could use their findings to build a habitat (栖息地) in the school garden. This may include removing weeds, adding plants to attract butterflies, and building bird feeders. An important part of PBL is that failure is understood to be a basic part of the learning process. One of the goals of PBL is to make efforts productively and work through problems. All schools and educators should accept PBL! Project-based Learning Introduction PBL requires students to work on a 1 by solving a practical problem. The audience feedback and comments make a 2 to it. 3 of practical use in some subjects Students can research the history and culture of their community through a traditional 4 for it. Maths skills and knowledge of some 5 subjects can be joined together by making a quilt, and displaying it in 6 can bring more advantages. To improve language skills, students from different cultures can pack and 7 items, and then exchange them for further communication. Building a habitat can help students put their findings from the research into 8 . Conclusion PBL encourages students to learn through problems. It’s acceptable that one might be 9 to complete some tasks in the learning process. So it’s hoped that PBL will be 10 with all schools and educators. （2022·江苏南京·中考真题）请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案填写在答题卡相应横线上。 What Are Visuals? Visuals are the images or pictures that you see in different forms of mass communication such as television, the Internet, and magazines. When you look at visuals in media, you make a judgement of what you see — either you like it, or you don’t. How do you respond (回应) to the picture of a sleeping kitten is different from how you respond to a picture of a roaring tiger. Why Are Visuals Important? Pictures are powerful. They appeal to (吸引) our minds, our feelings, and our imaginations. Looking at a picture carefully can help you notice more details and get more information. You may also see things that entertain you or make you laugh. At the same time, learning to look at a picture carefully can help you make up your own mind about things. Otherwise, a picture may make you think things that are not true. How Do I Do It? Here are some ways to evaluate (评价) visuals: Look at all the parts of a picture. If there are people, look at expressions (表情). Look at how they are standing or sitting. If a picture shows an activity, imagine the movement it shows. Look at the colours in a picture. If they are dark, they may make you feel sad, even if what the picture shows is not particularly sad. A dark picture of a person may make you like that person less. Think about what the picture suggests. Suppose an article is about crime, and the picture shows a young person. Does that suggest that young people are the worst criminals or that lots of young people are criminals? Do the facts in the article back up what the picture or pictures suggest?

Almost everyone worries about them and feels stressed, although they have prepared well. A little stress caused by the exams is useful as it can sharpen your mind and motivate（激发）you to do well. But too much stress can stop you working to the best of your abilities, so it’s important not to let it get out of control. Here are some ideas to help you. The keys to being prepared for exams and avoiding unnecessary exam stress are knowing what you need to know, planning and preparing for your revision（复习）, and giving yourself enough time to do it. If you can, find a copy of the syllabus for each subject. This tells you what you need to know and gives you the topics for revision. Make a week-by-week revision timetable chart to display in your work space. Include the topics you need to cover for each subject. About 12 weeks before your first exam, record the dates and times for each of your exams in your planner or diary and make a copy to put on your wall at home. During your exam period, you want your brain to work at its very best, so build in relaxation time before bed, avoid late night revision sessions and try to go to bed early so you get enough sleep. If panic（惊慌）starts to creep in, try to replace your negative thoughts with more positive（积极的）ones, such as ‘It’s going to be OK? If you have difficulty answering a question, leave it and move on to the next one—don’t spend time tying yourself in mental（思想上的）knots over each question. You are not alone while dealing with the stress. Call psychological（心理的）hotline to share your worries and get help from others going through the same experience. Remember that there is life after exams. Things may feel stressful right now, but it won’t last forever. And then the rest of your life will still be there. The Exam Stress Situation 1 about exams is a real fact for almost everyone at school. Problem Though a little exam stress does good to you, too much may make you 2 to work as well as you can.

How do these electric cars measure up to (符合标准) traditional gasoline cars? Electric and gasoline vehicles look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods. though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gas cars literally have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance (保养). Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems. Electric vehicles are energy efficient, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $1. 00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car, which is a clear contrast to a gas car, which costs about $1. 25 to go 18 miles. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price. Electric vehicles do not have tailpipe emissions, making them more friendly to the environment, too. While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favorable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge (充电) . Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank. An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option (选择) if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient (方便的) to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge. There are certainly benefits to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is an option. Electric cars vs Gasoline cars Introduction With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can achieve the 1 standards as gasoline cars. Similarity Electric cars and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. 2 Electric cars● Having fewer parts reduces the 3 of their maintenance and the 4 of having mechanical problems. ● 5 with gasoline cars, electric cars are more energy-saving, making them cheaper to operate. ● Having no tailpipe emissions, they are more environmentally 6 . ● It 7 more time for electric cars to get charged.

Though times have changed, falling asleep in class is still a common occurrence (常事) among teenagers. Why do students sometimes fall asleep in class? An obvious reason is lack of sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. However, there are also causes for getting too little sleep. Homework is a daily occurrence for most students, one that can take three to four hours per night. A teenager who wants to be able to take part in any activity besides homework must stay up late to fit everything in. Club activities, sports, computer-game playing, and TV viewing, for example, all contribute to (促成) teens having less time for both homework and sleep. Sometimes teens lack sleep because of after-school jobs that are taken on to earn extra money for college, family expenses, or simply for clothes. Physical problems are another factor that can cause students to fall asleep in class. For example, insomnia, which may keep a student up at night, causing exhaustion (疲惫不堪) during class hours, is a serious problem that may require medical attention. Medical evidence also supports the idea that each person has a body clock that helps to decide his or her sleep pattern. Unluckily, these body clocks do not always work according to school timetables. The effects of falling asleep in class can be quite serious. First of all, sleeping in class is not a good way to endear (使受喜爱) yourself to teachers. In addition, it is highly possible that other students may make jokes about those who sleep in class. However, the most harmful effects of sleeping in class is missing out on important points. In the long run, sleepers may end up failing classes. Since teens are probably not going to deal with the problem, falling asleep in class will probably remain an all-too-common occurrence. It will continue until more teens find a way to balance their personal and social lives with school and work, while still finding enough time to sleep. Introduction Times have changed, 1 falling asleep in class is still quite common. Causes Lack of sleep ◆ To 2 doing their homework, students may have to work three to four hours every night. ◆ To 3 homework with activities, students may stay up late. ◆ To spare time for after-school jobs, students may not have 4 time to sleep.

Conclusion The problem will not be 10 until teenagers can manage their lives, deal with their school and work, and then still have time to sleep. （2018·江苏南京·中考真题）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 Claude Monet's paintings were quite different from the art styles that were popular in the 1870s France. Traditional artists always did their artwork in a studio and their paintings were realistic-they looked exactly like the real world. Claude Monet was part of a group of painters who were called Impressionists(印象派画家). Their paintings were light and a bit fuzzy-they gave an impression of what the real world looked like. Sometimes Impressionists worked outside, which was a very unusual thought in their time. Impressionism received its name from an early painting by Claude Monet titled impression, Sunrise. Knowing that trains were interesting subjects and represented modern progress, Claude Monet crated a series of Impressionist paintings of trains from January to March of 1877. He worked on his paintings right on the train platform at the Gare Saint-Lazare, the train station on Saint Lazare Street. Although there were many train stations in Paris, this was the first train station built in Paris so it had historical significance(意义). Monet’s friend, Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, told the following story to his sons about Claude Monet and painting the trains. Monet needed permission(允许)to spend time on the train platform and paint what he saw in his impressionistic style. One day Monet dressed himself in his very best suit along with a fine top hat, a good linen shirt and a silk tie. He appeared to be a wealthy gentleman while he really was a poor painter. When he went towards the clerk at the train office, he presented his calling card which introduced him as Claude Monet, Painter. He asked to see the station master. The clerk quickly allowed this fine gentleman to enter the station master's office. The station master was also impressed and gave Monet permission to paint on the train platform. The station master even kept trains from leaving on time so Monet could complete a scene even though passengers complained. Was it all worthwhile(值得)? Monet’s train scenes turned his career into a success and for the station master, made his train station famous until even now.

There are about 7, 000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities. Are there National Parks in England? There are nine National Parks in England. The first three were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010. Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries? Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is useful for farming and other activities. As a result, National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild and beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life. Why do visitors go to the National Parks? There are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle, following marked route, and many of the parks organize activities for families. Are there any problems in the National Parks? There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year, bringing many benefits to the areas but creating problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be swamped(充斥) by visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked (堵塞) with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; in popular areas, house prices can become too high for local people making it hard for them to stay in the area. Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is a particular(特别的) danger to animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. When these start in wild places, they are much harder to control and can damage (毁坏) large areas very quickly. How can people help? All National Parks in England promote(倡导) the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.

If we can’t remember how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we left our car keys to how we walk. Maybe it’s not surprising that sometimes we forget things. Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term memory, which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds, for example, when you hear a song but can’t remember the words afterwards. The other level is long-term memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years. There are many uses for memory. Motor-skill memory helps you remember how to ride a bike or other activities, which can be strong can be short or long term. Emotional memory makes you think of how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. They are long term. Memories can tell you the story of yourself. Information, such as which school you go to and who your friends are, is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. It’s much easier to remember all those facts, or formulas or whatever it is you’re learning if you have a good memory. Memories can also help you manage feelings. Heidi, 12, told The Week Junior, “If I miss seeing my granny and grandad, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy.” Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things? It’s possible we don’t always store information in our memory effectively. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. It is also possible that memories decay over time. As they have not been revisited, their biological “trace” becomes weak. However, forgetting is not always a bad thing!It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. That’s something worth remembering! Introduction 1 things is an important function of our brain and it’s no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful.

At the end of March, Hangzhou welcomed its best period of large-scale (大规模) harvesting of West Lake Longjing tea. In one tea garden, a smart tea-picking robot invented by Zhejiang Sci-tech University first appeared in public after five years of research and development. With a pull and a suck (吸), the robotic arm separates the leaves from the trees and then puts them into a storage box quickly. “The robot learned its skills through a specially designed model that offers it a large amount of information of tea leaves,” said Chen Jianneng, one of the researchers. This allows the robot to recognize tea leaves by itself with a success rate (成功率) of over 90 percent, Chen added. Yet, the robot’s picking system needs improving before it can be more widely used. According to Professor Wu Chuanyu, leader of the research team, the robot can only take on the work of 1.5 workers at present. It will need to do the work of 5 workers if it is used for a large-scale harvesting. In addition, the robot can now only be used on flat ground, not on rough (崎岖不平的) surfaces such as mountains. It may take five more years to realize these goals, Wu told China News. Tea planting and processing are also changed to become “smarter”. For example, there are special lamps that can attract pests (害虫) but will not hurt other “friendly” insects. This machine works for 24 hours, using color board and lights to draw pests in day and night and then kill them with an electric grid (电网). In terms of tea roasting (炒制), although machine-roasted tea is used widely, many tea lovers argue that this method will make the tea not have the same taste with the tea made by hand-roasting. Researchers at Zhejiang University are trying to find out the tiny differences between the two methods to improve machine performance. They’re researching AI technologies to help them gain necessary information and make adjustments (调整) to roasting methods and temperatures in time.                                  When tea meets new technology Thanks to the researchers’ hard work for 1 , a small tea-picking robot made its first 2 in public to help human workers harvest West Lake Longjing tea.

It is about 6, 670 kilometres in length. It covers about 3.4 million square kilometres, which is about 10% of the area of Africa. The main source (源头) of the River Nile is the White Nile in the small country called Burundi. In Sudan, the White Nile is joined by the Blue Nile, which lows from Ethiopia. From this point on, the river is called the River Nile. In Egypt, the River Nile runs across its flat land to Cairo, where it forms a very large delta (三角洲). It then goes into the Mediterranean Sea. In the past, summer rains and melting snows made the River Nile flood its banks every autumn. These floods left behind water and rich mud, letting farmers grow crops along the riverbanks, in the delta, and to the south of it. By building a number of dams, the Egyptians control the low of water in the River Nile. The biggest dam is the Aswan High Dam. It holds floodwater back in Lake Nasser. The people who live along the River Nile no longer have to deal with the yearly flooding of their homes and land. Small canals (运河) have been built to carry water to the fields and villages. Water rushing over the dam wall is also used to produce electricity. When Lake Nasser gets hot, lots of its water changes into water vapour. The fertile (肥沃的) mud that would spread over the fields while flooding now goes down to the bottom of the lake. Without this mud, farmers in the River Nile valley now have to use chemical fertilisers (化肥) on their crops. Moreover, the soils in the delta are becoming saltier because there is less freshwater flowing down the River Nile and more saltwater from the Mediterranean Sea can flow into the delta. Most towns and cities in Egypt and Sudan are near the River Nile. For locals, the river is important for moving goods and people, especially in the flood season when road transport is difficult. Ships can travel along most of the River Nile in Egypt and Sudan, except when the water is very low. The River Nile Introduction The River Nile is about 6, 670 kilometres long.

They have become a symbol of Chinese culture. The following facts can bring you more surprises! Dragon dances can date back to the Han dynasty. They were then used in a special activity to show love and respect for ancestors (祖先)and wish for some good things, but they later developed into an entertainment activity. In the Tang and Song dynasties, most people began to celebrate festivals like the Chinese New Year with dragon dances. The dragon dance costume (戏服) is made up of a large dragon’s head, and a long tail-like body in a number of parts, which are raised on poles. The dragon body, sometimes covered with a huge red cloth, is woven (编织) with pieces of thin bamboo like long and round pipes. The costume is also made of grass, paper and so on. It can be from 2 meters to 100 meters or even over 1, 000 meters long. In our opinion, the longer the dragon’s costume is, the more good luck it will bring! As an important part of Chinese culture, Chinese dragons have many good qualities. So people perform (表演) dragon dances in the hope that they will become powerful, lucky and rich. In ancient times, when it was dry for a long time, people performed a dragon dance. And dragon dances after planting crops were also a way to keep them safe from insects. Now, dragon dances are performed during some special events or festivals as a method of driving away evil spirits and welcoming rich and lively times. So, the meanings of dragon dances change as time goes by. With the spread of Chinese people and culture all over the world, dragon dances have been brought to every corner of the world. Among the Chinese New Year celebrations, dragon dances are especially attractive. Along with lion dances, they are often the most eye-catching part of the Chinese New Year parades. From Chinese New Year’s Day to the Lantern Festival, dragon dances can be seen around the world, especially in places where Chinese people gather together. So, dragon dances are becoming more and more popular. Dragon Dances 1 ●Starting from the Han dynasty, they were used in serious events 2 they turned into entertainment activities. ● In the Tang and Song dynasties, it became 3 for people to celebrate festivals with them.

Here are some questions to help you decide. What kind of music do you like? Many instruments are versatile (多用途的), but some are more suited to certain types of music. For example, there are some classical plays for the saxophone, but people connect it more with jazz. The saxophone is not a permanent (永久的) feature of many orchestras (管弦乐队). Some instruments may lend themselves to others better than to the music you like, so think twice before you start.    Do you want to play with other people? Think about your long-term future as a musician. If you want to play with other people, what kind of instrument would be the most practical? The attraction of playing a dazzling solo instrument like trumpet (小号), violin, flute or lead guitar might fade (逐渐消失) when you realize how many other people are competing with you to get the main part with the same instrument! If you want to play rock music, there will always be a need for bass players or drummers, and if you feel like being part of an orchestra, the bassoon is a great bet to make sure you are always needed. Where are you going to practise? Many people live in flats and practising the drums, for example, will drive your neighbours crazy. Think about where and when you are going to practise, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Electric musical instruments like the piano, drums, guitar, and even violin give you the option of playing into the night using headphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Otherwise, you may need to go to a school or a community centre to practise. How much money can you spend? This is quite a big factor. A lot of instruments can be bought in different price ranges, for example, guitars. But this doesn’t change the fact that many, such as the piano, are always pretty expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument, will you be able to borrow someone else’s or hire one? Are there any physical limitations (限制)? If you’re small and don’t like lifting heavy instruments, you won’t want to carry around a double bass. Apart from that, use your common sense, and don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off. Who says small skinny people can’t play the tuba (大号)? It’s true that some wind instruments require a lot of lung (肺) power, but with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right skill. Still not sure? Talk to people you know who already play instruments. They might even let you try theirs. It’s also a good idea to find an experienced music teacher, preferably one who plays several different instruments, who can give you some advice and push you in the right direction. If you find an instrument you love and that suits your needs, you’ll find the time spent choosing was well worth it. Good luck with making your choice! Which musical instrument should you learn? Types of music you like ◆Many instruments are played for different types of music. ◆ Some instruments may be more 1 for certain types of music. For example, the saxophone has a strong 2 with jazz. Playing 3 or alone ◆It is 4 for you to get the main part if you choose a solo instrument. ◆If you want to 5 an orchestra, a bassoon is a good instrument because you’ll always be needed.

Cost of instruments ◆Instruments like guitars have different prices. ◆You can try to borrow or rent an instrument 8 of buying it at a high price. Physical limitations ◆Don’t let your physical limitations 9 you picking up an instrument. ◆Some wind instruments need a strong lung. However, proper training can help everyone master the skills. Extra tips ◆Talk to people who play instruments and have a try. ◆Find a music teacher with rich 10 who can advise you and guide you. （2024·江苏南京·一模）The twenty-first century is already turning out to be the century of modern technologies. The technological revolution (革命) that started after World War II is now developing more quickly. Computing and other technological development is beginning to reach into influence and take over nearly every part of our lives. The two main influences modern computing has had on our lives are in the areas of economics (经济学) and communications. Technology has led to big changes in economic and business systems and operations (经营). Businesses now have to be using cloud services or machine learning or risk failure. As a result, every big company bases its operations on computing. For example, Coca Cola, Huawei and Tencent sell different products and services, yet they all share one basic feature—without modern computing services, their operations would break down. New technologies play an important role in economies. China and many other developing countries have large IT industries, which drive their economies. What’s more, developed countries, including Germany and the United States, are moving from an industrial-based economy to a computing and IT-based one. The other important influence of technological change is in the way of communication. For example, in the past, people wrote letters or talked on fixed phones, which slowed down the communication process. Now they send e-mails and text messages, or chat using mobile phones. Instead of waiting weeks for a letter or spending time finding a fixed phone, we can communicate right away. New forms of communication are cheaper or free. As a result, now people who live thousands of kilometres away from each other can communicate as much as they want at any time. In conclusion, computing and new technologies have had a great influence on our lives in many ways. And they have had the greatest influence in business and communication. In the future, if technology continues developing at such speed,our business practices and methods of communication will have even greater changes. It is already starting to bring changes to other parts of our lives, such as transportation and health. What influence has technology had on our lives? Introduction > Great changes have taken place in technologies 1 World War II. >Computing has made a great 2 to economics and communications. 3 of main influences >Operations of big companies 4 on computing. >Large IT industries 5 countries like China to develop their economies. >New technologies have 6 Germany and USA into a computing and IT-based economy. > Technological change makes communication 7 and faster than before. >We spend 8 on communication as well. >People can communicate with each other 9 they want.

Now how about a virtual visit to stolen art? UNESCO is building the world’s first virtual museum of stolen cultural artifacts (文物). Their aim is to raise public awareness of culture heritage (遗产) protection. “Behind every stolen work lies a piece of history,” said UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay. “We want to place these works back in the spotlight so that more people can notice them.” The virtual museum works as an educational tool. It will offer visitors 3D images of stolen artifacts. There will also be detailed information about their history. The project will be designed by Francis Kere. The architect won the famous Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2022. For the museum, he has designed a virtual globe with a spiral (螺旋的) central structure. When it is opened in 2025, the museum will present 600 pieces of artifacts. One of the most important items is a 3rd-century alabaster stone inscription. It was taken from Awwam temple in Yemen.
