One example is the smart watch, which can keep an eye on users’ health. If it detects an abnormal heart rate, it will automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. This has saved many lives, especially for elderly people living alone. Another useful technology is speech recognition. It helps people with disabilities communicate more easily. For example, people who cannot type can use speech recognition to send messages or control electronic devices. This technology is also used in customer service, where AI systems can understand and respond to users’ questions quickly. 3D printers are changing how things are made. In some hospitals, 3D printers are used to create custom-made parts for patients, such as artificial hands. This makes treatment more effective and reduces the cost of medical care. Digital payment methods are also becoming more popular. With digital wallets and QR codes, people can pay for things without carrying cash. This is not only convenient but also safer, as it reduces the risk of losing money. However, it’s important to protect digital wallets with strong passwords to prevent theft. 1．What can a smart watch do if it detects an abnormal heart rate? 2．How does speech recognition help people with disabilities? 3．What are 3D printers used for in some hospitals? 4．What are the advantages of digital payment methods? 5．What should people do to protect their digital wallets? 【答案】1．It can automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. 2．It helps them communicate more easily by sending messages or controlling electronic devices. 3．They are used to create custom-made parts for patients, such as artificial hands. 4．They are convenient and safer, reducing the risk of losing money. 5．They should protect digital wallets with strong passwords. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了数字技术在紧急情况、残疾人辅助、医疗制造和支付方式等方面的应用和优势。 1．根据“If it detects an abnormal heart rate, it will automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location.”可知，智能手表在检测到异常心率时会自动呼叫紧急服务并发送位置。故填It can automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. 2．根据“It helps people with disabilities communicate more easily.

To help, big tech companies are creating chatbots using AI. Chatbots are smart programs that can talk to us on phones, messaging apps and websites and give quick replies to our questions. Chatbots have changed how we get information and shop online. They can do many things, like learning new knowledge, giving helpful suggestions and solving technical problems. This makes them very useful in our busy digital lives. There are two types of chatbots: open and closed. Closed chatbots use pre-written answers for common questions. Open chatbots, however, use advanced AI to understand what we want and give the right replies. They also learn from each conversation, becoming better at answering different kinds of questions over time. The great thing about chatbots is that they’re used any time, even at night. And they can help many people at once, so we don’t have to wait long for answers. But chatbots aren’t perfect. Some questions are too difficult for chatbots to answer, that’s why they need humans to train them. Besides, they can’t understand human feelings well. Many people still prefer talking to real persons because of the warmth they provide. Chatbots have made online services faster and more convenient. But they can’t work best without working together with humans. By combining AI-powered chatbots and human skills, we get a better customer service experience that’s both quick and understanding. As we move forward in this digital age, using chatbots and human intelligence together will shape how we interact (互动) with technology in the future. 1．What do big tech companies use AI to do to help people get answers fast? 2．What have chatbots changed according to the text? 3．Why do chatbots need humans to train them? 4．How can chatbots work best? 5．Which of the two types of chatbots do you think is better to use?

Take Galileo Galilei, for example. As a young man, he was curious about the stars and planets. While others believed the Earth was the center of the universe, Galileo wondered if that was true. He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that changed science forever.   Another example is Marie Curie, who was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials, even when many people thought it was a waste of time. Her curiosity led to the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment.   Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life. A teacher in a small village noticed that her students were curious about plants. Instead of just telling them facts, she encouraged them to grow their own. The students began asking questions: Why do some plants need more water? How do they make food? Through exploring, they learned more than any textbook could teach.   In fact, research shows that curious people are more successful in life. They are better at solving problems and adapting to new situations. This is because curiosity makes the brain more active and ready to learn. When we’re curious, we pay more attention and remember information better.   So, the next time you wonder “why” or “how”, don’t ignore it. Follow your curiosity—it might just lead you to something amazing. 1．What did Galileo discover by observing the sky with a telescope?   2．How did Marie Curie’s curiosity help save lives?   3．What did the village teacher do to encourage her students’ curiosity?   4．Why are curious people more successful in life according to research?   5．What does the author advise us to do when we feel curious?   【答案】1．He found that the Earth orbits the sun. 2．Her discovery of radium has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment. 3．She encouraged them to grow their own plants and explore. 4．Because curiosity makes the brain more active and ready to learn, helping them solve problems and adapt to new situations. 5．The author advises us to follow our curiosity instead of ignoring it. 【导语】本文主要讲述了好奇心在重大发现和日常生活中的重要性，并通过伽利略、居里夫人和一位乡村教师的例子加以说明。 1．根据文章第1段“He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that changed science forever.”可推知，伽利略通过望远镜发现地球绕太阳运行。故填He found that the Earth orbits the sun. 2．根据文章第2段“Her curiosity led to the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment.”可推知，居里夫人的发现通过癌症治疗拯救了生命。故填Her discovery of radium has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment. 3．根据文章第3段“Instead of just telling them facts, she encouraged them to grow their own.”可推知，这位乡村教师鼓励学生自己种植植物。故填She encouraged them to grow their own plants and explore. 4．根据文章第4段“This is because curiosity makes the brain more active and ready to learn.”可推知，好奇心使人更成功的原因是它让大脑更活跃、更愿意学习。故填Because curiosity makes the brain more active and ready to learn, helping them solve problems and adapt to new situations. 5．根据文章最后一段“Follow your curiosity—it might just lead you to something amazing.”可推知，作者建议我们追随好奇心。故填The author advises us to follow our curiosity instead of ignoring it. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 AI Transforms Our Learning Nowadays, AI technology is developing very fast and changing our lives a lot.

These systems can study how well we students do in learning and what our habits are. For example, they watch how we answer questions and how long we spend on different study jobs. Then they can find out what we are not good at or what we do well in. After that, they make special learning plans just for each of us. In learning languages, AI apps are really useful too. They can listen to our pronunciations and tell us right away if they are correct or not. They can also fix our grammar mistakes. Also, AI makes learning more interesting and we can talk with it as we are talking with the teachers. There are some educational games with AI. These games put study things into a game style. We need to solve problems or finish tasks to go to the next level. This makes us want to learn actively. We can learn at the speed that suits us. If we don’t understand something, we can do it again and again until we get the meaning of it. And when we learn languages and need to have conversation practice, we can choose an AI digital human (虚拟人物) that we want to talk with to practice the language conversation with. In the future, AI might even let us have classes in a virtual (视觉的) classroom. We could have lessons from great teachers all over the world without going anywhere, which made learning much more convenient. In a word, AI has changed the way we study. It makes learning fun and efficient through different kinds of soft wares (软件). Let’s welcome this change and explore more in the era of intelligent learning (人工智能时代). 1．Can AI make special learning plans for students? 2．What do these education games do according to the passage? 3．How does AI improve students’ language learning? 4．Do you think AI will completely replace (代替) human teachers in the future?

Each iceberg holds 20 billion gallons of fresh water—enough for 1 million people for 5 years. Special nets would prevent melting during the 10-month journey. If successful, it could supply drought-hit areas globally.   However, critics highlight risks. Melting icebergs might disrupt ocean currents. The $60 million cost per iceberg is high, and storms could sink them. Dr. Jones from MIT suggests focusing on cheaper methods like desalination. “While innovative,” he says, “it’s like using a helicopter to deliver pizza.” Despite doubts, the project continues research. Engineers test coating icebergs with insulation foam. If costs drop, the first iceberg might arrive by 2030. 1．How much water can one iceberg provide?   2．What is the main purpose of special nets?   3．Why does Dr. Jones compare the project to “a helicopter delivering pizza”?   4．List two risks mentioned about the project.   5．What solution are engineers testing to improve the project?   【答案】1．20 billion gallons. 2．To prevent melting during the journey. 3．It is expensive but not practical. 4．Disrupt ocean currents and storms could sink icebergs. 5．Coating icebergs with insulation foam. 【导语】本文主要介绍了2017年阿联酋一家公司提出的“冰山项目”——计划从南极托运冰山至阿联酋以解决淡水短缺的问题。 1．根据“Each iceberg holds 20 billion gallons of fresh water”可知，每座冰山都有200亿加仑的淡水。故填20 billion gallons. 2．根据“Special nets would prevent melting during the 10-month journey.”可知，特殊的网可以防止在10个月的旅程中融化。故填To prevent melting during the journey. 3．根据“The $60 million cost per iceberg is high, and storms could sink them.”可知，Jones认为冰山的价格高而且容易沉没，将这个项目比作“运送披萨的直升机”，是因为它价格贵但是不实用。故填It is expensive but not practical. 4．根据“Melting icebergs might disrupt ocean currents.”及“and storms could sink them.”可知，该项目的两个风险为扰乱洋流和风暴可能会使冰山沉没。故填Disrupt ocean currents and storms could sink icebergs. 5．根据“Engineers test coating icebergs with insulation foam.”可知，工程师们测试用隔热泡沫覆盖冰山。故填Coating icebergs with insulation foam. The world is in great need of fresh water. About 97% of water on Earth is salt water. Man can only drink or use the rest which comes from rivers, lakes and the underground (地下). The number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, so we need more and more fresh water. Now water shortage (短缺) becomes a big problem. And people are trying their best to find more ways to get fresh water. Then what can we do about it? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil (煮沸) sea water at a high temperature. In this way, we can make a lot of fresh water. But it often costs too much. And heating (加热) is not the only way to get fresh water. People also have other ways, such as digging deep wells (井), keeping rainwater and protecting rivers from being polluted. Which way is better? I think to get the most fresh water with the least money is the best. And most importantly, everyone should take part in saving water. And it’s not difficult. We should just try not to waste any water in our everyday life. 1．Where does the fresh water that people can drink come from? 2．Why do we need more and more fresh water? 3．How many ways to get fresh water are mentioned (被提及) in the passage? 4．Who should take part in saving water? 5．What does the writer think is the best way to get fresh water? 【答案】1．From rivers, lakes and the underground. 2．Because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger. 3．Four./4. 4．Everyone. 5．To get the most fresh water with the least money. 【导语】本文讲述了全球淡水短缺的问题，并介绍了科学家找到的一些将海水转化为淡水的方法，同时强调了节约用水的重要性。 1．根据“Man can only drink or use the rest which comes from rivers, lakes and the underground (地下).”可知，淡水源自河流、湖泊和地下水。故填From rivers, lakes and the underground. 2．根据“The number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, so we need more and more fresh water.”可知，人口增长导致淡水需求增加。故填Because the number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger. 3．根据“One important way is to boil (煮沸) sea water at a high temperature.”以及“People also have other ways, such as digging deep wells (井), keeping rainwater and protecting rivers from being polluted.”可知，文章第二段列举了四种方式：煮沸海水、挖深井、收集雨水、保护河流不受污染。故填Four./4. 4．根据“And most importantly, everyone should take part in saving water. ”可知，每个人都应参与节水。故填Everyone. 5．根据“I think to get the most fresh water with the least money is the best.”可知，作者在最后段明确表示以最低成本获取最多淡水是最佳方法。故填To get the most fresh water with the least money. 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。 The Yangtze River is one of China’s most important rivers.

It covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, but the amount of fresh water available for human use is relatively limited. In nature, water is constantly in a cycle. It evaporates from the surface of oceans, lakes, and rivers, turns into clouds, and then falls back to the ground as precipitation, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This water cycle is crucial for maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. However, water pollution has become a serious problem nowadays. Industrial waste, sewage from cities, and agricultural chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers are being discharged into water bodies. This not only harms aquatic plants and animals but also poses a great threat to human health when we use or drink the polluted water. To make matters worse, water scarcity is another challenge. In some arid regions, there is simply not enough water to meet the daily needs of people and industries. Even in areas where water seems abundant, improper use and waste can lead to shortages in the long run. Thankfully, there are many ways we can take to protect water resources. For example, we can save water in our daily lives by turning off the tap when not in use, fixing leaky faucets promptly, and using water-saving appliances.

One example is the smart watch, which can keep an eye on users’ health. If it detects an abnormal heart rate, it will automatically call the emergency services and send the user’s location. This has saved many lives, especially for elderly people living alone. Another useful technology is speech recognition. It helps people with disabilities communicate more easily. For example, people who cannot type can use speech recognition to send messages or control electronic devices. This technology is also used in customer service, where AI systems can understand and respond to users’ questions quickly. 3D printers are changing how things are made. In some hospitals, 3D printers are used to create custom-made parts for patients, such as artificial hands. This makes treatment more effective and reduces the cost of medical care. Digital payment methods are also becoming more popular. With digital wallets and QR codes, people can pay for things without carrying cash. This is not only convenient but also safer, as it reduces the risk of losing money. However, it’s important to protect digital wallets with strong passwords to prevent theft. 1．What can a smart watch do if it detects an abnormal heart rate? 2．How does speech recognition help people with disabilities? 3．What are 3D printers used for in some hospitals? 4．What are the advantages of digital payment methods? 5．What should people do to protect their digital wallets? 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In today’s digital world, people want answers fast. To help, big tech companies are creating chatbots using AI. Chatbots are smart programs that can talk to us on phones, messaging apps and websites and give quick replies to our questions. Chatbots have changed how we get information and shop online. They can do many things, like learning new knowledge, giving helpful suggestions and solving technical problems. This makes them very useful in our busy digital lives. There are two types of chatbots: open and closed. Closed chatbots use pre-written answers for common questions. Open chatbots, however, use advanced AI to understand what we want and give the right replies. They also learn from each conversation, becoming better at answering different kinds of questions over time. The great thing about chatbots is that they’re used any time, even at night. And they can help many people at once, so we don’t have to wait long for answers. But chatbots aren’t perfect. Some questions are too difficult for chatbots to answer, that’s why they need humans to train them. Besides, they can’t understand human feelings well. Many people still prefer talking to real persons because of the warmth they provide. Chatbots have made online services faster and more convenient. But they can’t work best without working together with humans. By combining AI-powered chatbots and human skills, we get a better customer service experience that’s both quick and understanding. As we move forward in this digital age, using chatbots and human intelligence together will shape how we interact (互动) with technology in the future. 1．What do big tech companies use AI to do to help people get answers fast? 2．What have chatbots changed according to the text? 3．Why do chatbots need humans to train them? 4．How can chatbots work best? 5．Which of the two types of chatbots do you think is better to use? Why? 阅读文章回答问题 Curiosity: The Key to Great Discoveries Throughout history, curiosity has been the driving force behind some of the most important discoveries. Take Galileo Galilei, for example. As a young man, he was curious about the stars and planets. While others believed the Earth was the center of the universe, Galileo wondered if that was true. He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that changed science forever.   Another example is Marie Curie, who was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials, even when many people thought it was a waste of time. Her curiosity led to the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment.   Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life. A teacher in a small village noticed that her students were curious about plants. Instead of just telling them facts, she encouraged them to grow their own. The students began asking questions: Why do some plants need more water? How do they make food? Through exploring, they learned more than any textbook could teach.   In fact, research shows that curious people are more successful in life. They are better at solving problems and adapting to new situations. This is because curiosity makes the brain more active and ready to learn. When we’re curious, we pay more attention and remember information better.   So, the next time you wonder “why” or “how”, don’t ignore it. Follow your curiosity—it might just lead you to something amazing. 1．What did Galileo discover by observing the sky with a telescope?   2．How did Marie Curie’s curiosity help save lives?   3．What did the village teacher do to encourage her students’ curiosity?   4．Why are curious people more successful in life according to research?   5．What does the author advise us to do when we feel curious?   阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 AI Transforms Our Learning Nowadays, AI technology is developing very fast and changing our lives a lot. It also has a big influence on how we students study. AI gives us a lot of learning materials (材料). There are smart tutoring systems (教学辅导 系统). These systems can study how well we students do in learning and what our habits are. For example, they watch how we answer questions and how long we spend on different study jobs. Then they can find out what we are not good at or what we do well in. After that, they make special learning plans just for each of us. In learning languages, AI apps are really useful too. They can listen to our pronunciations and tell us right away if they are correct or not. They can also fix our grammar mistakes. Also, AI makes learning more interesting and we can talk with it as we are talking with the teachers. There are some educational games with AI. These games put study things into a game style. We need to solve problems or finish tasks to go to the next level. This makes us want to learn actively. We can learn at the speed that suits us. If we don’t understand something, we can do it again and again until we get the meaning of it. And when we learn languages and need to have conversation practice, we can choose an AI digital human (虚拟人物) that we want to talk with to practice the language conversation with. In the future, AI might even let us have classes in a virtual (视觉的) classroom. We could have lessons from great teachers all over the world without going anywhere, which made learning much more convenient. In a word, AI has changed the way we study. It makes learning fun and efficient through different kinds of soft wares (软件). Let’s welcome this change and explore more in the era of intelligent learning (人工智能时代). 1．Can AI make special learning plans for students? 2．What do these education games do according to the passage? 3．How does AI improve students’ language learning? 4．Do you think AI will completely replace (代替) human teachers in the future? Why or why not? 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 In today’s digital world (数码世界)，people want answers fast. To help, big tech companies are creating chatbots using AI.

On the first day of the new term, students fed information into an interactive (互动的) robot named “Xiaofei” to make it a helper for the school. Many schools are building digital campuses (数字化校园). For example, in some schools’ PE classes, students wear special watches that are given by the teachers to monitor (监测) their health condition. Teachers look at the information to make sure everyone is healthy. Some students at the Jin Ling High School in Nanjing tested a new “Smart Playground”. They did a jump rope test for three minutes. Their results were shown up on a screen right away. The “Smart Play-ground” helps teachers see how students perform (表现) in different sports activities. In schools like the Beijing No.18 Middle School, smart blackboards allow students to do interesting experiments on the touch screen. Cao Peijie, from the China National Academy of Educational Sciences (中国教育科学研究院), said that using digital tools in education helps improve the quality (质量) of education. China is working hard to make it easier for everyone to share high-quality education resouroes (资源). 1．How do the students make “Xiaofei” a school helper? 2．What do teachers do with special watches? 3．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指的是)? 4．What does Cao think of digital tools in education? 5．Do you agree that more technologies should go into schools? Why? The Iceberg Project: A Bold Solution In 2017, an Emirati company proposed towing icebergs from Antarctica to the UAE. Each iceberg holds 20 billion gallons of fresh water—enough for 1 million people for 5 years. Special nets would prevent melting during the 10-month journey. If successful, it could supply drought-hit areas globally.   However, critics highlight risks. Melting icebergs might disrupt ocean currents. The $60 million cost per iceberg is high, and storms could sink them. Dr. Jones from MIT suggests focusing on cheaper methods like desalination. “While innovative,” he says, “it’s like using a helicopter to deliver pizza.” Despite doubts, the project continues research. Engineers test coating icebergs with insulation foam. If costs drop, the first iceberg might arrive by 2030. 1．How much water can one iceberg provide?   2．What is the main purpose of special nets?   3．Why does Dr. Jones compare the project to “a helicopter delivering pizza”?   4．List two risks mentioned about the project.   5．What solution are engineers testing to improve the project?   The world is in great need of fresh water. About 97% of water on Earth is salt water. Man can only drink or use the rest which comes from rivers, lakes and the underground (地下). The number of people in the world is becoming larger and larger, so we need more and more fresh water. Now water shortage (短缺) becomes a big problem. And people are trying their best to find more ways to get fresh water. Then what can we do about it? Scientists have found some ways to turn salt water into fresh water. One important way is to boil (煮沸) sea water at a high temperature. In this way, we can make a lot of fresh water. But it often costs too much. And heating (加热) is not the only way to get fresh water. People also have other ways, such as digging deep wells (井), keeping rainwater and protecting rivers from being polluted. Which way is better? I think to get the most fresh water with the least money is the best. And most importantly, everyone should take part in saving water. And it’s not difficult. We should just try not to waste any water in our everyday life. 1．Where does the fresh water that people can drink come from? 2．Why do we need more and more fresh water? 3．How many ways to get fresh water are mentioned (被提及) in the passage? 4．Who should take part in saving water? 5．What does the writer think is the best way to get fresh water? 请阅读下面语篇，根据其内容回答问题。 The Yangtze River is one of China’s most important rivers.

Why? 根据短文内容回答下列问题。 Water is an essential element for all forms of life on Earth. It covers about 71% of the Earth’s surface, but the amount of fresh water available for human use is relatively limited. In nature, water is constantly in a cycle. It evaporates from the surface of oceans, lakes, and rivers, turns into clouds, and then falls back to the ground as precipitation, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This water cycle is crucial for maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. However, water pollution has become a serious problem nowadays. Industrial waste, sewage from cities, and agricultural chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers are being discharged into water bodies. This not only harms aquatic plants and animals but also poses a great threat to human health when we use or drink the polluted water. To make matters worse, water scarcity is another challenge. In some arid regions, there is simply not enough water to meet the daily needs of people and industries. Even in areas where water seems abundant, improper use and waste can lead to shortages in the long run. Thankfully, there are many ways we can take to protect water resources. For example, we can save water in our daily lives by turning off the tap when not in use, fixing leaky faucets promptly, and using water-saving appliances. On a larger scale, governments and organizations should enforce strict laws and regulations to control water pollution, and promote water-recycling and desalination technologies. 1．What percentage of the Earth’s surface is covered by water? 2．What forms can precipitation take? 3．What are the main causes of water pollution mentioned in the passage? 4．Why is water scarcity a problem even in areas where water seems abundant? 5．What are some ways individuals can save water in daily lives according to the passage? 6．If you were a government official, what other measures would you take to protect water resources? Explain why. 能力综合实践5篇 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题（请注意每小题后面的词数要求）。 Most of you may think of clams (河蚌) as part of a big meal. But these little things can do an important job: testing the cleanness of water, including people’s drinking water. The main water station in Warsaw, Poland, offers water to millions of people there. It uses eight clams to help test the water every day, reported The Economist. Clams are very sensitive (able to find very small changes quickly) to water pollution. If the water is not clean enough, the clams will close their shells (壳). People in the water station connect their shells to a computer system (系统). When four or more clams close their shells at the same time, the workers can get a tip (提示) from the computer quickly. To make sure the clams are always sensitive to the environment, the workers choose some new ones to work for them every three months. “This works well and it helps protect people’s drinking water,” the water station said. 1．What important job can clams do according to the passage? （不超过5个词） 2．What will the clams do if the water is dirty? （不超过5个词） 3．Why do the workers choose new clams to work for them sometime? （不超过15个词） 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容回答问题。(每题答案不超过10个词) A few years ago, my husband and I were on an island for a weekend with our 3-and 4-year-old daughters. As we went back and thought about what to do next, our girls jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. “We want to go to the butterfly museum,” said Ariela and Eliana. As soon as we walked into the main area of the museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies, all flapping their colourful wings. My girls were jumping up and down and I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun. I turned to our museum tour guide because I was curious (好奇的) and asked, “How long do butterflies live?” She said, “About ten days.” “What can butterflies do in ten days?” I asked. The guide stopped, looked at me and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.” “Wow,” I said, “I never thought about butterflies like that. Thank you.” After we said goodbye, I couldn’t stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world with the time we have. When we focus our gifts on taking care of each other every day, we can make a difference. Appreciate the influence (影响) you can have on your family, friends, co-workers and neighbours. Like a butterfly, you have your own way of making the world a little better for everyone. 1．How many members are there in the writer’s family? 2．Where did Ariela and Eliana go after the weekend? 3．Why did the writer ask their guide some questions? 4．How long do butterflies live? 5．What do you think of the life of a butterfly? 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Early Life Albert Einstein was born on 14th March, 1879 in Germany. Einstein wasn’t able to speak a word until three. He was curious and imaginative. He loved watching things carefully and asked a lot of questions about them. His questions were often hard to answer for teachers. Schooling Einstein started school in 1885. Though he did well in maths and science, he failed in many subjects like history, geography and languages. He was not the teachers’ favourite. He didn’t enjoy going to school. Einstein finished high school in Switzerland and entered a university in Zurich. He graduated as a teacher of maths and physics in 1900. Scientific Work After graduation, Einstein worked at the Patent Office. He spent much time studying physics. By 1909, Einstein had become a top scientist. Though he became successful in the field of science, he still put great effort in scientific research. Finally, he won the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921.

As for me, it is like opening a new book with pages filled with pictures, words, and stories. I have been lucky to experience this joy through my travels. I want to share my travel experiences, which were both fun and educational (有教育意义的), in a way that is easy for everyone to understand. Planning is very important before any trip. I remember sitting with my family and deciding where to go. We looked at maps, read about places on the Internet, and talked about what we wanted to see. We chose a place with mountains and beaches. Then, we made a list of things to take with us, like clothes, snacks, and a camera to keep sweet memories for us. When we reached our destination (目的地), I couldn’t believe my eyes. The mountains were tall and covered with green trees, and the sea was a beautiful blue. Every place we visited had its own story and people who lived there, and I learned a lot just by looking around and talking to them. It was exciting for me to see so many new sights. Moreover, I tasted new fruits that grew in the mountains and ate seafood that was caught in the sea that same day. Some foods were strange at first, but I found that it was fun to try new things. Travelling taught me so much. Seeing new places made me curious (好奇的) about the world and want to learn more. I can’t wait to go on my next trip and find out more about our amazing world. 1．In the writer’s opinion, what is travelling like? 2．Which place did the writer choose as the travelling destination? 3．How did the writer feel when seeing new sights? 4．What made the writer curious about the world? 5．Do you enjoy travelling? Why?（此题不限制词数） One sunny morning, a young boy named Daniel was walking through a forest when he noticed a small, struggling butterfly trying to break free from its cocoon (蚕茧). Curious, Daniel stopped to watch. The butterfly was pushing hard, but it seemed stuck (被卡住). Feeling sorry for the little creature (生物), Daniel decided to help. He gently tore (撕开) open the cocoon, and the butterfly came out easily. However, something was wrong. The butterfly’s wings were shriveled (皱缩的) and weak. So it couldn’t fly. Daniel didn’t understand what had happened. An old man passing by saw the scene and explained, “The struggle to break free from the cocoon is what gives the butterfly the strength to fly. By helping it, you took away its chance to grow strong.” Daniel realized his mistake. He had wanted to help, but his actions had actually harmed the butterfly. He knew that challenges and struggles are necessary for growth. Sometimes, what seems like a kind act can prevent someone from developing the strength they need to succeed in life. 1．What did Daniel do to help the butterfly? (不超过10个词) 2．Why couldn’t the butterfly fly? (不超过10个词) 3．What lesson does this story teach us? (不超过10个词) 12 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 13 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
