①Yangzhou paper-cutting is a traditional Chinese art form with a history of over 1,500 years. It transforms simple sheets of paper into pieces of art. Artists use special scissors and unique techniques to create beautiful patterns, often in the shape of flowers, animals, or scenes from ancient legends, all within a matter of minutes. The magic of Yangzhou paper-cutting lies in the skill of “cutting without drafting”. The artists create the patterns without designing beforehand.
②Ms. Li, a 62-year-old paper-cutting master and inheritor (传承人) of this ancient art, fondly remembers learning the craft from her grandmother when she was just six. Back then, they used to make paper-cuts for windows during festivals. Today, Ms. Li teaches children how to create modern designs, including cartoon characters. In 2010, she opened her own studio, which has been visited by over 10,000 people who hope to learn about this beautiful tradition. Recently, Ms. Li’s team worked with an animation (动画) film production, bringing paper-cutting into moving scenes, showing how this ancient craft can adapt to modern storytelling.
③Young artists are also contributing to the revival (复兴) of Yangzhou paper-cutting. At Yangzhou Experimental Middle School, students are given the opportunity to express their creativity through paper-cutting. They design bookmarks, phone cases, and other accessories (配饰) featuring zodiac animals. Zhang Lin, a 15-year-old student, proudly wears a paper-cut panda necklace, showing how this art form can be both trendy and personal.
④Yangzhou paper-cutting is more than just a craft; it’s a bridge connecting the past with the future. As Ms. Li says, “Just like Yangzhou itself, paper-cutting dances between the past and the future.” This art form is not only about preserving (保存) history but also about embracing innovation (创新) and change. It’s true that even the oldest traditions can be given a new life and meaning.
38. Which is the closest to the meaning of “cutting without drafting” in Paragraph 1?
A. Printing before cutting. B. Designing after cutting.
C. Creating without preparation. D. Cutting with drawing.
39. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. ①②→③④ B. ①→②③→④ C. ①→②③④ D. ①②③→④
40. Which of the following is NOT designed by the students?
A. A paper-cut double happiness. B. A paper-cut phone case.
C. A paper-cut panda necklace. D. A paper-cut bookmark.
41. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Ms. Li is a great master of Yangzhou paper-cutting.
B. Yangzhou paper-cutting is just a craft with a long history.
C. Ms. Li devotes herself to spreading the traditional art.
D. Yangzhou paper-cutting is a bridge between the past and future.

① Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing classrooms in cool ways! Think of AI tools like homework helpers. Need tips on an English report? AI can spot grammar mistakes and suggest better words, almost like a patient writing coach. Stuck on math problems? Apps like Photomath scan problems and break them into easy steps with colorful cartoons. Some apps even act like detectives—they find your weak spots, like fractions (分数) or verb tenses, then create practice just for you.
② Using DeepSeek or ChatGPT to write a whole book report saves time, but your brain won’t grow muscles! That’s why schools have “AI-free times”—like writing first drafts by hand or solving math problems without apps first. An eighth grader named Liam explains, “I try solving homework myself now, then use AI to check. It’s like having a tutor (家庭教师) who never gets tired and always smiles!”
③ AI also makes lessons super fun. Virtual reality (VR) labs let you “mix” chemicals safely or “dissect” frogs without the sick factor. Want to chat with historical heroes? Ask Marie Curie about experiments or Shakespeare why Romeo loved Juliet! But there’s a golden rule: Never copy AI answers without learning. Teachers can spot “robot writing” with special tools, like a superhero spotting hidden clues. Always try your best first—AI works better when you team up with it!
④ In the future, AI might create custom learning plans for everyone. Love videos? Get more mini-movie lessons. Prefer hands-on projects? Try building robots or 3D models. As tech expert Dr. Lee says, “AI won’t replace students—but kids who use it like a smart friend will learn more!” By mixing modern tech with old-school effort, middle school students can become super learners while having fun. Who knows? Tomorrow’s science fair winners might be AI-powered inventors!

Moments later, fresh air came in through a vent above the door. Ned and Conseil woke up. Ned wanted to find a way to escape or attack the crew and take it over. I told him that we needed to be more careful. He should try to control his temper. We were left alone for a long time, and Ned was becoming very angry. Then the door opened and a man came in, Ned attacked him. “Please be calm, Mr. Land!” said a voice. We were surprised to see that it was the captain, speaking French.
“I can speak French, English, German, and Latin,” he said. “I understood everything about your story. I could not visit you again sooner because I had to decide what to do with you. Your ship hunted me; you shot at me with your guns and hit me with your harpoon. You wanted to destroy me. You are my enemies, and I could throw you into the sea to die.”
“No civilized man would do that!” I exclaimed.
“I am not what you call a civilized man,” he replied angrily. “However, I decided that it might be interesting to let you live. You are free to go around the ship and see everything that happens. However, I want you to promise two things.”
“What are they?”
“First, if I tell you to go to your rooms, you will go immediately without fighting.”
“We promise. What is the second promise?”
“You must promise that you will never leave the ship without my permission. If you do not accept this, I will put you outside, and the ship will dive. We will not hear you this time.”

Then the spirit took Scrooge away from the ship. Scrooge heard someone laughing. It was his nephew.
“Ha, ha!” laughed Scrooge’s nephew. “Ha, ha, ha!” When Scrooge’s nephew laughed, Scrooge’s niece, by marriage, laughed too. And all their friends laughed with them.
“He said that Christmas was a humbug (谎话)!” cried Scrooge’s nephew. “He believed it, too!”
“He’s a sad, foolish man, Fred!” said Scrooge’s pretty niece.
“He’s a strange old fellow,” said Scrooge’s nephew, “and not as pleasant as he should be. However, he makes himself unhappy, so that’s his punishment. I have nothing to say against him.”
“I’m sure he is very rich, Fred,” hinted Scrooge’s niece. “At least you always tell me so.”
“His money is of no use to him. ” said Scrooge’s nephew. “He doesn’t do any good with it. He doesn’t make himself comfortable with it. He hasn’t the pleasure of thinking that he is ever going to do anything for us with it.”
“I have no patience with him,” observed Scrooge’s niece.
“Oh, I have!” said Scrooge’s nephew. “I am sorry for him; I couldn’t be angry with him. Who suffers (受苦) by his bad temper (脾气)? He does. If he doesn’t like us, and he won’t come and eat with us, he loses a dinner. We don’t lose anything.”
“I think he loses a very good dinner,” said Scrooge’s niece.
Everybody else said the same because they had just had dinner.
“I will give him every chance to dine with us on Christmas Day, whether he likes it or not, for I pity him,” Scrooge’s nephew said. “He may say that Christmas is humbug till he dies, but he can’t stop thinking about it if I call on him year after year and say, ‘Uncle Scrooge, how are you?’ If it only makes him give his poor clerk (职员) fifty pounds, that’s something.”

①Yangzhou paper-cutting is a traditional Chinese art form with a history of over 1,500 years. It transforms simple sheets of paper into pieces of art. Artists use special scissors and unique techniques to create beautiful patterns, often in the shape of flowers, animals, or scenes from ancient legends, all within a matter of minutes. The magic of Yangzhou paper-cutting lies in the skill of “cutting without drafting”. The artists create the patterns without designing beforehand.
②Ms. Li, a 62-year-old paper-cutting master and inheritor (传承人) of this ancient art, fondly remembers learning the craft from her grandmother when she was just six. Back then, they used to make paper-cuts for windows during festivals. Today, Ms. Li teaches children how to create modern designs, including cartoon characters. In 2010, she opened her own studio, which has been visited by over 10,000 people who hope to learn about this beautiful tradition. Recently, Ms. Li’s team worked with an animation (动画) film production, bringing paper-cutting into moving scenes, showing how this ancient craft can adapt to modern storytelling.
③Young artists are also contributing to the revival (复兴) of Yangzhou paper-cutting. At Yangzhou Experimental Middle School, students are given the opportunity to express their creativity through paper-cutting. They design bookmarks, phone cases, and other accessories (配饰) featuring zodiac animals. Zhang Lin, a 15-year-old student, proudly wears a paper-cut panda necklace, showing how this art form can be both trendy and personal.
④Yangzhou paper-cutting is more than just a craft; it’s a bridge connecting the past with the future. As Ms. Li says, “Just like Yangzhou itself, paper-cutting dances between the past and the future.” This art form is not only about preserving (保存) history but also about embracing innovation (创新) and change. It’s true that even the oldest traditions can be given a new life and meaning.
38. Which is the closest to the meaning of “cutting without drafting” in Paragraph 1?
A. Printing before cutting. B. Designing after cutting.
C. Creating without preparation. D. Cutting with drawing.
39. What’s the structure of the passage?
A. ①②→③④ B. ①→②③→④ C. ①→②③④ D. ①②③→④
40. Which of the following is NOT designed by the students?
A. A paper-cut double happiness. B. A paper-cut phone case.
C. A paper-cut panda necklace. D. A paper-cut bookmark.
41. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Ms. Li is a great master of Yangzhou paper-cutting.
B. Yangzhou paper-cutting is just a craft with a long history.
C. Ms. Li devotes herself to spreading the traditional art.
D. Yangzhou paper-cutting is a bridge between the past and future.

① Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing classrooms in cool ways! Think of AI tools like homework helpers. Need tips on an English report? AI can spot grammar mistakes and suggest better words, almost like a patient writing coach. Stuck on math problems? Apps like Photomath scan problems and break them into easy steps with colorful cartoons. Some apps even act like detectives—they find your weak spots, like fractions (分数) or verb tenses, then create practice just for you.
② Using DeepSeek or ChatGPT to write a whole book report saves time, but your brain won’t grow muscles! That’s why schools have “AI-free times”—like writing first drafts by hand or solving math problems without apps first. An eighth grader named Liam explains, “I try solving homework myself now, then use AI to check. It’s like having a tutor (家庭教师) who never gets tired and always smiles!”
③ AI also makes lessons super fun. Virtual reality (VR) labs let you “mix” chemicals safely or “dissect” frogs without the sick factor. Want to chat with historical heroes? Ask Marie Curie about experiments or Shakespeare why Romeo loved Juliet! But there’s a golden rule: Never copy AI answers without learning. Teachers can spot “robot writing” with special tools, like a superhero spotting hidden clues. Always try your best first—AI works better when you team up with it!
④ In the future, AI might create custom learning plans for everyone. Love videos? Get more mini-movie lessons. Prefer hands-on projects? Try building robots or 3D models. As tech expert Dr. Lee says, “AI won’t replace students—but kids who use it like a smart friend will learn more!” By mixing modern tech with old-school effort, middle school students can become super learners while having fun. Who knows? Tomorrow’s science fair winners might be AI-powered inventors!
42. How does the writer introduce the passage in Paragraph 1?
A. By showing the background. B. By telling stories.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples.
43. Where should we put the sentence: “AI is a great helper, but students should use it wisely.”?
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
44. Which is the advantage of AI mentioned in the passage?
A. It corrects grammar mistakes. B. It takes the place of learning.
C. It makes exams easier. D. It reduces homework time.
45. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Disadvantages of AI in Education B. The Future of Education with AI
C. How AI is Influencing Students D. Teachers’ Opinions on Classrooms

When I woke up I found it difficult to breathe. I wondered how the submarine got air and decided that it must come to the surface every night. Moments later, fresh air came in through a vent above the door. Ned and Conseil woke up. Ned wanted to find a way to escape or attack the crew and take it over. I told him that we needed to be more careful. He should try to control his temper. We were left alone for a long time, and Ned was becoming very angry. Then the door opened and a man came in, Ned attacked him. “Please be calm, Mr. Land!” said a voice. We were surprised to see that it was the captain, speaking French.
“I can speak French, English, German, and Latin,” he said. “I understood everything about your story. I could not visit you again sooner because I had to decide what to do with you. Your ship hunted me; you shot at me with your guns and hit me with your harpoon. You wanted to destroy me. You are my enemies, and I could throw you into the sea to die.”
“No civilized man would do that!” I exclaimed.
“I am not what you call a civilized man,” he replied angrily. “However, I decided that it might be interesting to let you live. You are free to go around the ship and see everything that happens. However, I want you to promise two things.”
“What are they?”
“First, if I tell you to go to your rooms, you will go immediately without fighting.”
“We promise What is the second promise?”
“You must promise that you will never leave the ship without my permission. If you do not accept this, I will put you outside, and the ship will dive. We will not hear you this time.”
