Passage 1 If you’re looking for a way to help you pay your attention to your tasks, the Pomodoro Technique can be helpful. The Pomodoro Technique is a popular way of time management. It was created in the late 1980s by Francesco Cirillo. At that time, Francesco was a college student. He had difficulty in focusing on his studies. Then he found a tomato-shaped kitchen timer and used it to help him manage his time. Pomodoro means tomato in Italian. Andy is a businessman. In the past, he had much work to do but he didn’t know how to manage his time well. One day, he learnt about the Pomodoro Technique from a book and then tried it. He found it very useful. Now, let’s see how Andy used it. First, Andy started his day with a list of tasks to do. He also added how much time he would need to complete each task on the list. The big tasks were divided into several smaller ones. Then, he set a 25-minute timer and worked on his tasks. When his timer went off, he got one “pomodoro”. Then he enjoyed a break for five minutes. After getting four “pomodoros”, he had a 15-30 minutes’ break. With the help of the Pomodoro Technique, Andy finished his tasks one by one. He can manage his time and do his work well now. Time management is of great importance for us. It helps us complete tasks more effectively (高效地) and reduces stress. By planning our time well, we can balance our studies and life, which makes us happier and improves our quality of life. If you have trouble managing your time, why not try the Pomodoro Technique? 1.What is the Pomodoro Technique? 2.Where did Andy learn about the Pomodoro Technique? 3.When could Andy have a 15-30 minutes’ break? 4.Why is time management important according to the last paragraph?（写出一点即可） 5.How do you usually manage your time in your daily life? Passage 2 You must see something like this in science novels: people drive flying cars for daily travel. However, you’ll probably be able to take one in the near future. An eVTOL aircraft, also known as the “air taxi”, finished its first test flight in Guangdong Province. It got a lot of attention around the world. The flight started from Shenzhen to Zhuhai. The distance(距离) between the two places is about 60 kilometers. The whole trip took just about 20 minutes, which makes it a better choice for passengers to travel between the two cities. Travelling by car, however, usually takes about two to three hours. The eVTOL aircraft looks like a small plane. But unlike a plane, it doesn’t need a long runway to take off from the ground. Instead, it can go straight up and down. This new aircraft is powered by electricity. It can work for 250 kilometers on a single charge(充电量) and can also carry up to five people at a speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour. The eVTOL aircraft was developed by a high-tech company. The company is asking for a permit(许可证) for the market. If everything goes well, it is hoped that the aircraft will start carrying passengers in 2026. Besides the eVTOL aircraft, Guangzhou is making efforts to encourage other low-altitude flight(低空飞行). They will be used in many areas, such as tourism, delivery(递送) and farming in the future. Many experts believe that the achievements of low-altitude flights will make the city have a better future. 1．Where did eVTOL aircraft finish its first test? 2．How long did the flight take by eVTOL from Shenzhen to Zhuhai? 3．What is the new aircraft powered by? 4．What areas will low-altitude flight be used in? 5．How do you like the eVTOL aircraft? Why? Passage 3 Have you visited any traditional Chinese gardens? If you compare them with some Western gardens, you may find that Chinese gardens look more like natural landscape(风景). Chinese gardens have a long history. As early as 1, 500 years ago, there were two main types of gardens: imperial(皇帝的) gardens and private gardens. Imperial gardens were for the use of the emperor and his family. And private gardens were built by general nobles(贵族). The Summer Palace in Beijing is China’s most famous imperial garden. It covers about three million square meters. The Kunming Lake takes up almost three fourths of the garden’s total area. There are over 3, 000 ancient buildings and more than 400, 000 plants in the garden. You can also see over 40, 000 priceless historical relics from each dynasty. With such a rich collection, the garden is known as the “Imperial Garden Museum”. As for private gardens, the most famous one is the Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou. It is only 41, 000 square meters. It is quite small, but it’s beautiful and delicate(精致的). When you stand in the garden, it looks like a beautiful picture. The traditional Chinese gardens have been designed very well. Mountains and waters, trees and flowers, houses and towers don’t look crowded together at all. In fact, Chinese gardens are properly fixed up in some ways, like traditional Chinese landscape paintings. Both of them show that nature is important in Chinese culture. 1.How are traditional Chinese gardens different from Western gardens? 2.Why is the Summer Palace called the “Imperial Garden Museum”? 3.Where is the most famous private garden? 4.What do Chinese gardens have in common with traditional Chinese landscape paintings? 5.What type of Chinese gardens mentioned in the text do you like better? Why? Passage 4 Technology is everywhere and it influences our daily lives including the kinds of books. There are two main kinds of books—paper books and e-books for kids to choose from. The question becomes, is one better than another? The industry for selling e-books became a mainstream(主流) business in the late 1990s. E-books often have more colorful photos and sounds, and they may appear a lot more interesting than paper books. Research proves that e-books are good for kids. Kids learn more information when they are reading e-books because technology is fun and more enjoyable. Good e-books help kids develop their reading skills faster. Highlighted text(突出显示的正文) draws more attention, and the more time readers spend looking at words and hearing them out loud, the better chances they have to remember them. What’s more, e-books are lightweight and they can easily be read over and over again. However, e-books come with several problems, too. Many parents and even experts believe that e-books are not good for the general health of kids. Kids need to read their e-books on devices(设备) such as their mobile phones, computers or e-readers. They worry that reading e-books makes kids spend too much time in front of screens. Kids are more drawn by the technology and they care less about the stories. If kids are getting all their answers from e-books, their interaction(交流) with other people will be less and less. 1．What does technology influence? 2．When did the industry for selling e-books become a mainstream business? 3．What are the advantages of e-books?(依据文章内容找出两点) 4．What devices do kids need to read their e-books? 5．What do you think of e-books? Why? (Please give two reasons) Passage 5 These days, the robotaxi(自动驾驶出租车) from the company Baidu’s Apollo Go becomes quite popular. People can call the taxi using an app on their phone. There is no one driving in the car but it can take you anywhere you want to go. Many people try the new way to travel around. They think it is cheap, comfortable and interesting. However, the taxi also worries some people. It’s really cheap to take the robotaxi. For example, one person only paid 26.52 yuan for a 28-kilometer, 64-minute trip in Wuhan. The price makes many people choose to use the robotaxi. This makes some taxi drivers feel worried. They say they may lose their jobs in the future because they have fewer and fewer orders. The robotaxi also brings about other problems. A video shows that a robotaxi in Wuhan stops in front of a bag on the road, making the road very crowded. In another video, two robotaxis are facing each other, not knowing what to do next. What’s worse, a robotaxi caused an accident because it didn’t see a person on the road. The company thinks it’s important to make people stay away from danger, so its workers are working hard to improve the cars and work out the problems. They also hope that the cars can make a great difference to the world in the future. 1．How can people take a robotaxi? 2．How do many people feel about travelling around by robotaxi? 3．What are some taxi drivers worried about? 4．What is the third paragraph mainly talking about? 5．What do you think the robotaxi will be like in the future? Passage 6 Sports and exercise play a key role in keeping us healthy and happy. Regular physical activity helps improve our physical health, mental well-being, and even our social skills. For example, running, swimming, or cycling can strengthen(加强) our heart and lungs, while team sports like basketball or soccer teach us teamwork and communication. According to health experts, teenagers should get at least 60 minutes of exercise every day. This can include activities like walking to school, playing sports, or even dancing. Exercise also helps reduce stress by releasing endorphins, which are chemicals in the brain that make us feel good. One of my classmates, Emma, loves playing volleyball. She says it not only keeps her fit but also helps her make new friends. Another friend, David, enjoys jogging in the park every morning. He says it helps him stay focused and energetic throughout the day. However, some students don’t exercise enough because they spend too much time on their phones or watching TV. It’s important to remember that even small changes, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator or walking to nearby places, can make a big difference. In conclusion, sports and exercise are essential for a healthy lifestyle. They keep our bodies strong, our minds clear, and our lives balanced. So, let’s get moving and make exercise a part of our daily routine(常规)! 1．What are the advantages of regular physical activity? 2．How much exercise do health experts recommend for teenagers every day? 3．What are endorphins? 4．Why do some students not exercise enough? 5．What kind of exercise do you like? Why? Passage 7 The world will be very different in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty possible that robots and AI will change the world a lot. Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life. However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In the video called Forward to the Future, scientists predicted what the world would be like in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be able to control things simply by using our mind. “Think about a world where you just use your mind to control your environment,” Justin said. Scientists are working hard to have some progress. “The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other things around us,” says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but not heavy,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us. “I think we’ll be able to control a machine just by only saying some simple words,” she said. For example, right now to land a plane, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or maybe, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 1．What is possible to change the world a lot in 2045? 2．What’s the name of the video? 3．How many scientists gave their predictions in the video? 4．Who has the prediction about changing the buildings and other things around us? 5．How will people be able to control a machine according to Pam Melroy? Passage 8 Restaurants are changing with new technology. In the past, they were places where everything was prepared by hand. Then, machines made cooking faster. Now, AI is making dining even better. AI can do amazing things in restaurants. Imagine stepping into one where everything matches your tastes. Within a second, the smart ordering system can quickly recognize your face, favourite dishes, and even your feelings. That’s the power of AI-driven personalized dining. Inside the kitchen, AI is changing the way of cooking. Robots can take the place of masters by copying their cooking skills, bringing even the most difficult dish to your dining table. They can also produce dishes much faster without a mistake, making sure every meal is an enjoyable experience. Moreover, AI is taking care of your health. It can check the food quality quickly, so only the best food goes on your plate. It can tell when to order more food to make sure there will always be fresh food in the cooking area. It also pays attention to your diet. By looking at what you usually eat and your health information, an AI-powered system can create meal plans just for you. China has a long history of great food, and Chinese people have high expectations of food. Therefore, AI should meet this cultural need. Building an AI restaurant with Chinese characteristics can not only help people enjoy food more but also carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture. 1.What’s the power of AI-driven personalized dining? 2.What can AI do to take care of your health?（依据文章内容，找出一点即可） 3.How does an AI-powered system create meal plans for you? 4.What’s the advantage of building an AI restaurant with Chinese characteristics? 5.Do you think it’s a good idea to use AI in restaurants? Why or why not? Passage 9 People depend on plants. We use plants for food, cloth and even the air we breathe. Plants keep our air and water clean. Green plants give us oxygen. Oxygen is part of the air we breathe. Plants are also part of the water cycle. Most of the water that a plant takes in goes back into the air. Plants give us a lot of food on the earth. Fruits, vegetables and grains come from plants. Without plants, we would not have bread, rice, carrots, apples, oranges or bananas! Many people are growing plants to eat in their own gardens at home. Having your own garden helps the earth as well. When you grow your own fruits and vegetables, you help cut down on pollution because big trucks don’t need to take your food to shops. You also help reduce the amount of rubbish because you don’t need to use bags for packing your food. You can just pick it out of the ground or off a plant and put it into a basket! Plants are quite important to humans and the earth. Without plants, the earth would be a very different place. 1．What do we use plants for according to paragraph 1? 2．Where does most of water that a plant takes in go? 3．Why does growing your own fruits and vegetables help reduce the amount of rubbish? 4．What does the text mainly about? 5．In your opinion what else can plants do for human beings? (Write 30 words or more) Passage 10 Artificial Intelligence(AI) has changed students’ lives and studying a lot. With AI tools, learning seems to be easier, but students must be careful when using them to stay away from problems. Let’s find out how AI influences education. Studies show that 65% of middle school students now use AI tools for learning. They turn to technology to save time when finishing hard schoolwork. Photo-solving apps help students find answers 3 times faster, but studies show 40% of the students just copy answers without thinking. Three popular tools show AI’s power in education. ChatGPT explains difficult topics like space science in simple words. DeepSeek, a Chinese writing helper, gives advice to improve vocabulary and logic in articles. Another tool, Doubao, acts like a homework guide—ask it “Why do plants need sunlight?” and it explains biology ideas with examples. By using these tools, students can solve problems in different subjects. However, always asking AI tools for answers without thinking may stop you from coming up with creative ideas. If students use AI to write passages every day, they might forget why practicing writing matters. Also, too much screen time causes health problems. Doctors say students using AI over 2 hours daily get 1.8 times more eye pain. It’s helpful to set clear rules for yourself. For example, try solving a math problem yourself for 10 minutes before using apps to check answers. When writing, use ChatGPT only for ideas but organize them yourself. Noticing your time spent on AI tools and trying to use it for less than 1 hour daily can not only relax your eyes but also give you a break to improve your work with your creativity. 1．What do studies show according to paragraph 2? 2．What are the three popular tools in education according to the text? 3．What’s the advantage of using these AI tools? 4．What is the last paragraph talking about? 5．Do you think students should use AI tools to help with study? Why or why not? 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Passage 1 1. It is a popular way of time management. 2. From a book. 3. After getting four “pomodoros”. 4.
