Due to its status as the longest-running capital in ancient China, Xi’an has had a deep impact on the life and culture of the country. If you are planning a tour of Xi’an, you’ll want to hit all the following highlights.
Terracotta Army
Discovered near Lintong, Xi’an, the army of Terracotta Warriors was constructed by China’s First Emperor Qinshihuang of the Qin Dynasty. It is a collection of thousands of life-size terracotta soldiers, horses and chariots in battle formation, showing the emperor’s armies in full splendor.
Xi’an City Wall
Xi’an City Wall was built in the 14th century by Zhu Yuanzhang the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best-preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas. When you take a walk or cycle on the massive wall, you can enjoy a good view of the city, the moat and the watchtowers.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda
The Giant Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty for the study of Buddhist scriptures. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store sutras and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang who stayed here for 19 years translating Buddhist scriptures.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years.

An Indonesian librarian is lending books to children in exchange for trash they collect in a novel way to clean up the environment and get the kids to read more.
Each weekday, Raden Roro Hendarti, a librarian in Indonesia’s Java Island rides her three-wheeler with books piled up at the back for children in Muntang village to exchange for plastic cups, bags and other waste that she carries back. As soon as she shows up, little children, many accompanied by their mothers, surround her “Trash Library” and ask loudly for the books. They are all carrying trash bags and Raden’s three-wheeler quickly fills up with them as the books fly out. She’s happy the kids are going to spend less time on online games as a result.
“Let us get kids to read more and build a culture of literacy from a young age,” Raden said. “We should also take care of our waste in order to fight against climate change and to save the earth from trash,” she said.
She collects about 100 kg of waste each week, which is then sorted out by her colleagues and sent for recycling or sold. She has a stock of 6,000 books to lend and wants to take the mobile service to neighboring areas as well.
Kevin Alamsyah, an eager 11-year-old reader, looks for waste lying in the village. “When there is too much trash, our environment will become dirty and it’s not healthy. That’s why I look for trash to borrow a book,” he says.
The literacy rate for above-15-year-olds in Indonesia is around 96 percent, but a September report by the World Bank warned that the pandemic will leave more than 80% of 15-year-olds below the minimum reading level identified by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
4. What is “Trash Library” like?
A. Well-decorated. B. Noisy and dirty. C. Relaxing. D. Popular.
5. Why does Raden run the “Trash Library”?
A. To fight against climate change.
B. To collect trash for money.
C. To help kids get away from online games.
D. To get kids to read more and care for the environment.
6. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Indonesia’s environmental situation is worrying.
B. People in Indonesia has a very low literacy rate.
C. The trash library has been introduced to many other cities.
D. The pandemic has a negative effect on teenagers’ reading.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. A Novel Way to Improve Library B. The Indonesian System for Reading
C. Your Trash Benefiting the Environment D. Your Collected Trash for Our Books
C
Artificial intelligence has persuaded many people that we need to thoroughly change education. Now that chatbots can speedily find and bring back information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations? Shouldn’t we instead teach kids to think critically and solve problems and leave the above-mentioned work to computers? This perspective suggests we can always “just google it” when information is needed.
Yet this perspective faces strong pushback. Nonagenarian American educator E.D. Hirsch demolished (驳倒) the argument that we can always just look things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutors are amazing and can strengthen knowledge if used reasonably, being able to recall facts remains indispensable.
This connects to a deeper concern about outsourcing memory. In The Shallows, Nicholas Carr writes that the suggestion we should outsource our memory to “free up” limited space for more creative thinking is based on a misconception. Thanks to its plasticity, the brain’s long-term memory center can expand, as scientists found when studying London taxi drivers. Carr warns: “When we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation (巩固), we risk emptying our minds of their riches.”
Furthermore, cognitive limitations reinforce this risk. Daisy Christodoulou, author of Seven Myths About Education, reminds us that our working memories can only process a few new items at a time. So if we encounter too much new vocabulary or information, we become overwhelmed, damaging our ability to learn. Indeed, looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later.
But we don’t need to reinvent the wheel: In an era of conspiracy (阴谋) theories and misinformation it’s even more vital that we humans have a firm grasp of basic facts.
8. What is E.D. Hirsch’s opinion on recalling facts in the AI era?
A. It is less important than critical thinking. B. It remains essential despite technology.
C. It should be replaced by internet access. D. It weakens knowledge retention overall.
9. How does the author support the main argument in the text?
A. Describing personal chatbot experiences. B. Comparing ancient vs. modern education.
C. Listing all AI benefits. D. Quoting experts.
10. What do Carr and Christodoulou imply about using the internet as a memory tool?
A. It boosts creative thinking capacity. B. It enhances memory consolidation.
C. It harms natural brain processes. D. It ensures reliable fact recall.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The future role of AI tutors in modern education systems.
B. The enhancement of critical thinking skills through technology.
C. The debate on the necessity of memorization in the age of AI.
D. The complete replacement of traditional learning with internet tools.
D
Where do great musicians great mathematicians and great sportspeople get their talent? For decades now, we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest. But scientists now believe that there was a good deal of truth in what he said.
Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. But now it is accepted that our genes interact with their surroundings, getting turned on and off all the time. “There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,” explains Michael Meaney of McGill University. “And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes. They work alongside each other.”
How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities? Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James? Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. They could have turned out entirely different people. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”
12. What did Ted Williams think led to his success?
A. His natural talent. B. His full commitment.
C. His modest personality. D. His extraordinary intelligence.
13. What did we widely believe during the 20 century?
A. Intelligence has little to do with DNA.
B. Our genes interact with our environment.
C. The majority of us are of average intelligence.
D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
14. Why does the author mention “Lionel Messi” and “Lebron James” in paragraph 3?
A. To clarify a point. B. To illustrate a rule.
C. To offer a solution. D. To make a prediction.
15. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with?
A. Most of us are born to be average persons.
B. We could all be geniuses if working hard enough.
C. Genetie factors are more important than hard work.
D. Great talent is a combination of genes and practice.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I couldn’t bear it any longer! My best friend had gone for lunch with the most popular girl in class, leaving me to eat my tuna sandwich alone in the library. Worse still, during dance class, my partner, a boy, refused to hold my hand and bad mouthed me behind my back, further feeding my anger. It was, without a doubt, my worst day in school. I was hurt and mad, and looking for a target to release my anger.
When I got home from school, Mother had baked peanut butter cookies and piled them up on a plate. She even artfully decorated each one with royal icing and topped it with sugar. ”Couldn’t you have made chocolate chip?“ I said moodily. ”I could have,“ she replied from the laundry room, ”but I made peanut butter ones. Eat them while they’re still hot, sweetie.“ Although I thought Mother was rather unthoughtful, I caved in and took a few bites unwillingly in the end. Later, when she pulled a grilled chicken from the oven and sang a merry tune, I somehow got annoyed again—Never mind that Mother had busied herself the whole afternoon with the cooking just to put this hot meal on the table. I wanted hamburgers.
”Nobody even likes that kind of food, Mum! Why didn’t you make hamburgers?“ I complained. Mother took a deep breath, ran her fingers through her messy hair and looked into my eyes with a puzzled look. ”Sweetheart, you’ve never complained about having it before. What’s up?“ she said matter-of-factly (平淡地). It was from there that all went downhill. I screamed and complained nonstop until Mother hit her limit. It was the first time that Mother had got mad at me. Nobody seemed to care about me, including my beloved mother! Ultimately, we had a shouting match in the hallway.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Unable to contain her anger, ”No dinner for you! Go to bed now!" she exploded.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then a thick, juicy smell of hamburgers greeted my nose.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。人工智能引发“教育是否需摒弃事实记忆”的讨论,有观点主张让AI代劳记忆、转而培养批判性思维,但多位专家反驳此观点,强调记忆事实不可或缺,依赖网络替代记忆会损害大脑功能,虚假信息泛滥时代掌握基础事实更关键。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Nonagenarian American educator E.D. Hirsch demolished the argument that we can always just look things up, stating that while internet access and AI tutors are amazing and can strengthen knowledge if used reasonably, being able to recall facts remains indispensable.(美国九旬教育家E.D.赫希驳斥了“随时都能查阅资料”的观点,他表示,尽管互联网访问和人工智能导师非常出色,若合理使用可巩固知识,但能够回忆事实仍然是不可或缺的)”可推知,E.D.赫希认为在人工智能时代,回忆事实尽管有技术加持,但仍至关重要。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容,作者为支持核心观点(记忆事实不可或缺),先后引用了美国教育家E.D.赫希、《浅薄》一书作者尼古拉斯·卡尔以及《教育的七个神话》作者黛西·克里斯托杜卢的观点和论述。由此推知,作者通过引用专家观点来支持文章主要论点。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中卡尔的警告“When we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing the inner processes of consolidation, we risk emptying our minds of their riches.(当我们开始将网络作为个人记忆的替代品,绕过记忆巩固的内在过程时,我们就有可能让自己的大脑变得空洞无物)”以及第四段中克里斯托杜卢的观点“our working memories can only process a few new items at a time. So if we encounter too much new vocabulary or information, we become overwhelmed, damaging our ability to learn. Indeed, looking stuff up on Google often results in us not being able to recall it later.(我们的工作记忆一次只能处理少量新信息。因此,如果我们接触过多新词汇或新信息,就会不知所措,损害学习能力。事实上,在谷歌上查阅资料往往导致我们之后无法回忆起这些内容)”可推知,两人都暗示将互联网作为记忆工具会损害大脑自然的记忆和学习过程。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now that chatbots can speedily find and bring back information and answer complex questions, why bother memorizing historical facts or quotations? (既然聊天机器人可以快速找到并带回信息,回答复杂的问题,为什么还要费心去记忆历史事实或名言呢?)”等内容可知,文章开篇提出人工智能时代“是否需要让AI替代记忆、不再强调记忆事实”的观点,随后通过多位专家的论述反驳该观点,强调记忆事实的必要性以及依赖网络替代记忆的危害。由此可知,全文围绕“人工智能时代记忆(知识)的必要性之争”展开。故选C。
D
Where do great musicians, great mathematicians and great sportspeople get their talent? For decades now, we have assumed that most of them are simply born with a talent that ordinary people do not have. When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest. But scientists now believe that there was a good deal of truth in what he said.
Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary. But now it is accepted that our genes interact with their surroundings, getting turned on and off all the time. “There are no genetic factors that can be studied independently of the environment,” explains Michael Meaney of McGill University. “And there are no environmental factors that function independently of our genes. They work alongside each other.”
How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities? Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James? Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice. They could have turned out entirely different people. Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”
12. What did Ted Williams think led to his success?
A. His natural talent. B. His full commitment.
C. His modest personality. D. His extraordinary intelligence.
13. What did we widely believe during the 20 century?
A. Intelligence has little to do with DNA.
B. Our genes interact with our environment.
C. The majority of us are of average intelligence.
D. Our character is simply decided by inherited DNA.
14. Why does the author mention “Lionel Messi” and “Lebron James” in paragraph 3?
A. To clarify a point. B. To illustrate a rule.
C. To offer a solution. D. To make a prediction.
15. Which statement will Kevin Rathunde probably agree with?
A. Most of us are born to be average persons.
B. We could all be geniuses if working hard enough.
C Genetie factors are more important than hard work.
D. Great talent is a combination of genes and practice.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。讲述了一人的基因对人的天赋起到作用,但是周围的环境和后天的努力也会有影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“When baseball legend Ted Williams claimed that his achievement had nothing to do with natural ability but were the result of practice, practice, practice, people assumed that he was merely being modest.(当棒球传奇人物泰德·威廉姆斯声称他的成就与天赋无关,而是练习、练习、再练习的结果时,人们以为他只是谦虚而已)”可知,泰德·威廉姆斯认为是他的努力导致了他的成功,也就是他的全身心的投入。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Throughout the last century, it was accepted that we inherit (继承) many of our characteristics from our parents via their DNA, that each of us inherits a fixed amount of intelligence -a fixed IQ, and that most of us are to be ordinary.(在上个世纪,人们普遍认为,我们通过DNA从父母那里继承了许多特征,我们每个人都继承了固定的智力——固定的智商,我们大多数人都是平凡的)”可知,在20世纪,我们普遍相信我们大多数人的智力一般。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“How does this view of the role of genes change our understanding of individual talent and abilities? Does it now mean that genes don’t matter, and that we all have the potential to be like, say, Lionel Messi or Lebron James? Such a claim flies in the face of reason. The genes we inherit clearly matter, as do genetic differences between individuals. But it is also true that Lionel Messi would not have become the super footballer he is, nor Lebron James a basketball superstar, without putting in thousands of hours of practice.(这种关于基因作用的观点如何改变我们对个人天赋和能力的理解?这是否意味着基因不重要,我们都有成为莱昂内尔·梅西或勒布朗·詹姆斯那样的潜力?这样的说法完全违背理性。我们遗传的基因显然很重要,个体之间的基因差异也很重要。但同样不可否认的是,如果没有成千上万小时的训练,莱昂内尔•梅西(Lionel Messi)就不会成为现在的超级足球运动员,勒布朗•詹姆斯(Lebron James)也不会成为篮球巨星)”可知,作者提到“莱昂内尔·梅西”和“勒布朗·詹姆斯”是为了阐明一个观点。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Talent researcher Kevin Rathunde agrees. “High academic achievers are not necessarily born much smarter than others but genes do count,” he writes in his book Talented Teenagers, “and above all they usually work harder and develop more self-discipline.”(人才研究人员Kevin Rathunde对此表示赞同。他在《天才少年》一书中写道:“学业成绩优异的人不一定天生就比别人聪明,但基因确实很重要。最重要的是,他们通常更努力学习,更自律。”)”可知,Kevin Rathunde认为伟大的才能是基因和实践的结合。故选D项。

【答案】 Getting to Know the Plants Around Us
Last weekend, I participated in a “Getting to Know the Plants Around Us” activity organised by our Students’ Union.
The activity began with a lecture by a local botanist, who taught us about the different characteristics and uses of various plant species. We then went on a natural walk to observe and collect samples of different plants. Throughout the event, I was struck by the incredible variety of plants that exist in our world and learned about plants that are used for medical purposes, as well as those that provide food and shelter for animals. I also gained a greater appreciation for the role that plants play in maintaining the balance of our ecosystem.
Overall, it was a valuable and enriching experience.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I couldn’t bear it any longer! My best friend had gone for lunch with the most popular girl in class, leaving me to eat my tuna sandwich alone in the library. Worse still, during dance class, my partner, a boy, refused to hold my hand and bad mouthed me behind my back, further feeding my anger. It was, without a doubt, my worst day in school. I was hurt and mad, and looking for a target to release my anger.
When I got home from school, Mother had baked peanut butter cookies and piled them up on a plate. She even artfully decorated each one with royal icing and topped it with sugar. ”Couldn’t you have made chocolate chip?“ I said moodily. ”I could have,“ she replied from the laundry room, ”but I made peanut butter ones. Eat them while they’re still hot, sweetie.“ Although I thought Mother was rather unthoughtful, I caved in and took a few bites unwillingly in the end. Later, when she pulled a grilled chicken from the oven and sang a merry tune, I somehow got annoyed again—Never mind that Mother had busied herself the whole afternoon with the cooking just to put this hot meal on the table. I wanted hamburgers.
”Nobody even likes that kind of food, Mum! Why didn’t you make hamburgers?“ I complained. Mother took a deep breath, ran her fingers through her messy hair and looked into my eyes with a puzzled look. ”Sweetheart, you’ve never complained about having it before. What’s up?“ she said matter-of-factly (平淡地). It was from there that all went downhill. I screamed and complained nonstop until Mother hit her limit. It was the first time that Mother had got mad at me. Nobody seemed to care about me, including my beloved mother! Ultimately, we had a shouting match in the hallway.

【答案】Para. 1:
Unable to contain her anger, “No dinner for you! Go to bed now!” she exploded. It was the first time that Mother had got mad at me. Nobody seemed to care about me, including my beloved mother! My teeth were chattering, unable to utter a single word, with my hands shaking. I stormed to my bedroom, and slammed the door behind me. Lying on bed, I finally calmed down and my breathing became regular. A sharp pain of fault hit me. The more I thought about my actions, the heavier my heart felt. Then, I heard strange sounds coming from the kitchen. Puzzled, I opened my bedroom door, tiptoeing towards the kitchen.
Para. 2:
Then a thick, juicy smell of hamburgers greeted my nose. Sensing my footsteps, Mother looked up, asking tentatively, “Want some?” I took a bite guiltily, shedding regretful tears. “Mom, I’m awfully sorry for being awful to you today. I had a bad day at school. I don’t deserve this.” I apologized. “I should have guessed you’re in a tough spot, sorry, honey. I remember those growing up years.” Mother smiled and gave me a big bear hug. There was nothing like mother’s unconditional love — that night, I should have been punished; instead, Mother dished up a hearty portion of grace.
