Soon it was time to go home. We had a great day.
By the way, my parents said we are going to see you next Friday. I miss you very much!

Last summer Mom and I went camping in Namibia to spend our holiday. It was my first time camping and my first visit to Namibia. My mom knew the country. When she was young, she had been there with a cousin, and she showed great happiness to go back there again.
The-campsite (露营地) was beautiful, with a big swimming pool. Campsites usually have showers, but when we got there, we found that this one had a real bath (浴缸)—I couldn’t believe it. Also, we didn’t need to make our own meals because there was a cook making food for us in an outdoor kitchen. I was always tired in the evenings and I couldn’t wait to get into my little camp bed. Every night, I lay there listening to all the animals. They were really noisy, so sleeping wasn’t effortless. However, hearing them was one of the best things about the holiday.
We also saw a lot of animals. One day, we found a lion family and stopped to watch them. Unluckily, they were sleeping by a tree, and I couldn’t get any good photos of them. They didn’t look scary but our guide didn’t let us get close.
It was a great holiday and I fell in love with camping. Now I know how interesting camping is. I think I’ll try it in my own country with some friends, maybe as soon as next summer.
31. How did the writer’s mom feel about visiting Namibia?
A. Surprised. B. Happy. C. Sorry.

A. A real bath. B. The kitchen. C. The scenery.

A. important B. necessary C. easy
34. What did the writer do while seeing the lion family?
A. He fed them. B. He got close to them. C. He watched them.
35. What’s the best title for the text?
A. My advice on the visit to Namibia
B. My camping holiday in Namibia
C. Good campsites in Namibia

Do you want AI or parents to help with your homework? Here are some ideas.
Paul: AI can teach maths without shouting at you, but it can’t care about you like a person does. Parents might get angry when you make mistakes, but they feel happy when you improve. They feel the same when you’re sad, but then they encourage you to move on. AI will never laugh with you over a silly joke or share stories from its life. Machines only follow what they are told. True teaching needs a heart that cares for you. So let AI help with schoolwork, but let parents teach you how to face the world.
Jenny: I think AI is better than my parents for several reasons. When I make mistakes, AI won’t get angry like my parents do. Sometimes, AI is even smarter than my parents and has many ways to work out problems easily. For example, when I had a maths question, AI broke it down into easy steps and explained each one. This helped me understand better. I will choose AI to help me with my homework, and my parents can take a break!
Nancy: When I have problems with my homework I don’t ask AI for help. My parents may help a lot. Sometimes, it is hard to explain a problem in just a few words. Many children need to spend much time describing the problem for AI to understand. I don’t want to waste time on it. Also parents may share their own stories when helping with homework. I enjoy listening to these stories. It is fun to learn more about my parents. If parents don’t know the answers, they can use AI first and then explain it to their children.
Best solution
●Parents learn from AI first and then teach their children.
●AI and parents in children’s growth: AI helps with schoolwork and parents teach them how to face the world.
AI
·AI won’t get angry or ____51____ like parents do.
·Children understand better with the help of AI.
*It’s easy for AI to meet different children’s needs.
*Children can have a better understanding of the answer because of AI’s good ____52____.
Parents
They share children’s ____53____ and ____54____.
They encourage children to keep going.
·Sometimes, it can be a ____55____ of time to describe the problem to AI.
·Children can learn a lot from their parents’ own life stories.

Four Treasures of the Study
Pencils, rulers, pens, erasers ... These are the common tools students use in class today. But what about ancient Chinese students? Let’s read on to find out!
☆Writing brush
The oldest brush ever found was made during the Warring States Period. Chinese brushes are usually made with animal hair from goats, rabbits, or yellow weasels (黄鼠狼).
Different animal hairs work differently. Soft goat hair holds more ink for smooth writing, while yellow weasel hair can make sharp lines. That’s why people use different brushes—for different writing styles.
☆Ink stick
The earliest man-made ink blocks we’ve found come from the Warring States Period. To make them, people first burned pine wood (燃烧松木) to collect soot (烟灰). Then, they mixed the soot with glue and pressed it into sticks. By the Tang Dynasty, Huizhou (in today’s Anhui Province) had become the centre of making ink. During the Qing Dynasty, Xie Songdai invented liquid ink (液体墨汁), which made writing much easier for everyone.
☆Paper
Before paper was invented in the Western Han Dynasty, people wrote on bamboo or silk. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun improved papermaking technology, making paper easier to produce. As a result, paper quickly became the main writing material. Xuan paper, first created in the Tang Dynasty, greatly advanced the development of Chinese calligraphy and painting.
☆Inkstone
The inkstone has been used in China since ancient times. Early inkstones were simple stones for grinding (研磨) ink sticks with water. In the Tang Dynasty, Duan inkstones from Guangdong became famous for their smooth texture (质地). They are considered one of China’s top four inkstones, along with She inkstones (from Anhui), Taohe inkstones (from Gansu), and Dengni inkstones (from Shanxi).
56. Why do people choose different brushes?
___________________________________
57. What was the first step in making ink sticks?
___________________________________
58. How did Cai Lun influence paper-making?
___________________________________
59. What are China’s top four inkstones?

60. If you were an ancient student, which of the “Four Treasures” do you think was most important for your studies, and why? (Answers vary)

四、书面表达。(计15分)
61. 中学生应该树立劳动最光荣、劳动最崇高、劳动最伟大、劳动最美丽的观念。请你以“Should Young Students Learn to Do Housework?”为题,结合下图内容,就家务劳动写一篇100词左右的英语短文表达自己的观点并投递至校英语报。

Last summer Mom and I went camping in Namibia to spend our holiday. It was my first time camping and my first visit to Namibia. My mom knew the country. When she was young, she had been there with a cousin, and she showed great happiness to go back there again.
The-campsite (露营地) was beautiful, with a big swimming pool. Campsites usually have showers, but when we got there, we found that this one had a real bath (浴缸)—I couldn’t believe it. Also, we didn’t need to make our own meals because there was a cook making food for us in an outdoor kitchen. I was always tired in the evenings and I couldn’t wait to get into my little camp bed. Every night, I lay there listening to all the animals. They were really noisy, so sleeping wasn’t effortless. However, hearing them was one of the best things about the holiday.
We also saw a lot of animals. One day, we found a lion family and stopped to watch them. Unluckily, they were sleeping by a tree, and I couldn’t get any good photos of them. They didn’t look scary but our guide didn’t let us get close.
It was a great holiday and I fell in love with camping. Now I know how interesting camping is. I think I’ll try it in my own country with some friends, maybe as soon as next summer.
31. How did the writer’s mom feel about visiting Namibia?
A. Surprised. B. Happy. C. Sorry.

A. A real bath. B. The kitchen. C. The scenery.

B. My camping holiday in Namibia

A.完成图表(共5小题;每小题2分,计10分)
根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。
Do you want AI or parents to help with your homework? Here are some ideas.
Paul: AI can teach maths without shouting at you, but it can’t care about you like a person does. Parents might get angry when you make mistakes, but they feel happy when you improve. They feel the same when you’re sad, but then they encourage you to move on. AI will never laugh with you over a silly joke or share stories from its life. Machines only follow what they are told. True teaching needs a heart that cares for you. So let AI help with schoolwork, but let parents teach you how to face the world.
Jenny: I think AI is better than my parents for several reasons. When I make mistakes, AI won’t get angry like my parents do. Sometimes, AI is even smarter than my parents and has many ways to work out problems easily. For example, when I had a maths question, AI broke it down into easy steps and explained each one. This helped me understand better. I will choose AI to help me with my homework, and my parents can take a break!
Nancy: When I have problems with my homework, I don’t ask AI for help. My parents may help a lot. Sometimes, it is hard to explain a problem in just a few words. Many children need to spend much time describing the problem for AI to understand. I don’t want to waste time on it. Also parents may share their own stories when helping with homework. I enjoy listening to these stories. It is fun to learn more about my parents. If parents don’t know the answers, they can use AI first and then explain it to their children.
Best solution
●Parents learn from AI first and then teach their children.
●AI and parents in children’s growth: AI helps with schoolwork and parents teach them how to face the world.
AI
·AI won’t get angry or ____51____ like parents do.
·Children understand better with the help of AI.
*It’s easy for AI to meet different children’s needs.
*Children can have a better understanding of the answer because of AI’s good ____52____.
Parents
They share children’s ____53____ and ____54____.
They encourage children to keep going.
·Sometimes, it can be a ____55____ of time to describe the problem to AI.
·Children can learn a lot from their parents’ own life stories.
【答案】51. shout
52. explanation
53. happiness
54. sadness
55. waste
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讨论了AI和父母在帮助孩子完成作业时的优缺点,并提出了最佳解决方案。
【51题详解】
根据Paul的观点“AI can teach maths without shouting at you, but it can’t care about you like a person does.”可知,AI不会像父母那样对孩子大喊大叫,won’t后接动词原形,故填shout。
【52题详解】
根据Jenny的观点“For example, when I had a maths question, AI broke it down into easy steps and explained each one. This helped me understand better.”可知,AI能提供良好的解释来帮助孩子理解,介词“of”后接名词explanation。故填explanation。
【53题详解】
根据Paul的观点“but they feel happy when you improve. They feel the same when you’re sad, but then they encourage you to move on”可知,父母会分享孩子的快乐和悲伤,空处应是名词happiness,作宾语。故填happiness。
【54题详解】
根据Paul的观点“They feel the same when you’re sad”可知,父母会感受到孩子的悲伤,空处应是名词sadness,作宾语。故填sadness。
【55题详解】
根据Nancy的观点“Sometimes, it is hard to explain a problem in just a few words. Many children need to spend much time describing the problem for AI to understand.”可知,向AI描述问题可能会浪费时间,waste“浪费”,a waste of time“浪费时间”。故填waste。

Four Treasures of the Study
Pencils, rulers, pens, erasers ... These are the common tools students use in class today. But what about ancient Chinese students? Let’s read on to find out!
☆Writing brush
The oldest brush ever found was made during the Warring States Period. Chinese brushes are usually made with animal hair from goats rabbits, or yellow weasels (黄鼠狼).
Different animal hairs work differently. Soft goat hair holds more ink for smooth writing, while yellow weasel hair can make sharp lines. That’s why people use different brushes—for different writing styles.
☆Ink stick
The earliest man-made ink blocks we’ve found come from the Warring States Period. To make them, people first burned pine wood (燃烧松木) to collect soot (烟灰). Then, they mixed the soot with glue and pressed it into sticks. By the Tang Dynasty, Huizhou (in today’s Anhui Province) had become the centre of making ink. During the Qing Dynasty, Xie Songdai invented liquid ink (液体墨汁), which made writing much easier for everyone.
☆Paper
Before paper was invented in the Western Han Dynasty, people wrote on bamboo or silk. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cai Lun improved papermaking technology, making paper easier to produce. As a result, paper quickly became the main writing material. Xuan paper, first created in the Tang Dynasty, greatly advanced the development of Chinese calligraphy and painting.
☆Inkstone
The inkstone has been used in China since ancient times. Early inkstones were simple stones for grinding (研磨) ink sticks with water. In the Tang Dynasty, Duan inkstones from Guangdong became famous for their smooth texture (质地). They are considered one of China’s top four inkstones, along with She inkstones (from Anhui), Taohe inkstones (from Gansu), and Dengni inkstones (from Shanxi).
56. Why do people choose different brushes?
___________________________________
57. What was the first step in making ink sticks?
___________________________________
58. How did Cai Lun influence paper-making?

59. What are China’s top four inkstones?

60. If you were an ancient student, which of the “Four Treasures” do you think was most important for your studies, and why? (Answers vary)
___________________________________
【答案】56. For different writing styles.
57. To burn pine wood to collect soot.
58. He improved papermaking technology, making paper easier to produce.
59. Duan inkstones, She inkstones, Taohe inkstones, and Dengni inkstones.
60. I think paper was the most important because it replaced expensive silk and heavy bamboo, making writing more accessible.
