2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 4 Digital life 单元话题（数字生活）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 In the 1970s, a gorilla known as Koko became world-famous when scientists taught her to use human sign language to communicate with people. There were numerous attempts in the mid-1900s to teach human language to non-humans, such as Koko. But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language. Today scientists are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things. Scientists in this field are using sensors, which are devices that pick up and record information on physical or chemical conditions. Some are also using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, an approach that uses algorithms (算法). The same algorithms that we use in tools such as Google Translate to translate documents can also be used to find patterns in nonhuman communication. Jeremy of Tel Aviv University studied nearly two dozen Egyptian fruit bats for two and a half months and recorded their vocalizations. His team adapted a voice-recognition program to study 15,000 of the sounds. The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing. Using this program, the researchers were able to classify most of the bats’ sounds. Jeremy and other researchers have found that bats have a much more complex language than we previously understood. Bats argue over food; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they communicate with one another, and they have individual names, or “signature calls”. That’s a great example of how AI is able to find these patterns from information gathered by sensors and microphones. AI reveals things that we can’t hear with our human ears alone because most bat communication happens above our hearing range and because bats speak much faster than we do. We have to slow it down to listen to it. So we cannot listen like a bat, but our computers can. And our computers can also speak back to the bat by producing specific patterns. Digital bioacoustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen to animals with both our digitally enhanced ears and our imagination. This is slowly opening our minds not only to the wonderful sounds that nonhumans make, but to a fundamental set of questions about the so-called divide between humans and nonhumans as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful. 1．Regarding scientists’ efforts to teach animal human language, the author feels _________. A．negative B．unconcerned C．uncertain D．supportive 2．Scientists in digital bioacoustics are trying to study _________. A．how animals are using tools to produce their sounds B．how animals use different tools to share information C．how animals are taught to talk in human sign language D．how animals communicate with one another using sounds 3．What can we learn about AI applied in digital bioacoustics? A．It pairs certain animals’ sounds with their behaviors. B．It slows down animals’ sounds within humans’ hearing range. C．It adapts voice-recognition programs to record animals’ sounds. D．It translates specific nonhuman sound patterns into human language. 4．According to the passage, the author may agree that _________. A．animals can be grouped according to their sound patterns B．scientists need to keep studying how animals produce sounds C．digital bioacoustics may inspire humans to rethink their relationship with animals D．the focus of digital bioacoustics should be the divide between humans and nonhumans 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了数字生物声学这一新兴领域，讲述了科学家们如何利用传感器和人工智能等工具研究动物之间的声音交流，以及该领域的意义。 1．观点态度题。根据“But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language.”可知，作者认为应该关注动物自身的交流能力，而非教它们人类语言，对这种做法持否定态度。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Today scientists are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics, and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things.”可知，数字生物声学领域的科学家在研究动物如何利用声音进行交流。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing.”可知，人工智能能将动物的特定声音与它们的行为对应起来。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“This is slowly opening our minds... as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet.”可知，数字生物声学可能促使人类重新思考与动物的关系。故选C。 Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s. Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky—I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.” Ironically, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site—only 2.2 million users are under 17—but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,” she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.” Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. “We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.” Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction (上瘾) as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. “I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,” he says. “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?” So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. “I’m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I’m setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.” Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life? 1．What is the main reason Sheila uses Facebook? A．To post videos of her grandchildren. B．To follow new trends for the elderly. C．To reconnect with old school friends. D．To see updates about her grandchildren. 2．How many UK Facebook users are under 17? A．2.9 million. B．2.2 million. C．3.5 million. D．Not mentioned. 3．What can be inferred about Peter’s behavior? A．He stopped using phones completely. B．He limits phone use to set an example. C．He uses social media more than his children. D．He forces his children to give up smartphones. 4．What does the author mainly want to tell us? A．Different generations face digital challenges. B．Social media benefits all generations equally. C．Smartphones will completely disappear soon. D．Teenagers can teach grandparents technology. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了祖父母和孙辈都在使用社交媒体，但不同代人的上网习惯却截然不同，文章通过举例说明了老年人和他们的孙辈使用社交媒体的不同习惯，以及对社交媒体的看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“Sheila, aged 19, says, ‘I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing,’”可知，Sheila使用Facebook的主要原因是查看她孙子孙女的最新动态。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site-only 2.2 million users are under 17”可知，英国17岁以下使用Facebook的用户有220万。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“‘How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?’ So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages.”及“but the important thing is I’m setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.”可知，Peter限制使用手机是为了给孩子们树立榜样。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据“Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different.”及通读全文可知，本文通过举例说明了三代人使用社交媒体的不同习惯，故本文的主旨是不同世代面临的截然不同的数字生活挑战。故选A。 Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Mandarin (普通话), some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places, including 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the world’s largest language resource library. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. Why is protecting the dialect culture important? According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. “Language truly shows the history and the beliefs of an area.” he said. Scholar Zhang Hongming shared his worries about the disappearing of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak it. What’s more, young people over 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear.” he said. So how did China build this big library? “A big national effort (努力) has been put into the project to make it happen.” said Cao Zhiyun, the top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital (数字化的) tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. 1．What’s the Chinese Language Resources Protection mainly about? A．Teaching people how to speak Mandarin. B．Protecting local dialects. C．Helping people learn foreign languages. D．Building more universities. 2．Why are dialects important according to Harold Palmer in paragraph 3? A．Because they are easy to learn. B．Because they can be used in daily life. C．Because they store local cultures. D．Because they are a symbol of a country. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．Building the big library. B．Joining in universities and research groups. C．Putting into a national effort. D．Getting help from the top expert. 4．What does the second part of the project mainly focus on? A．Collecting more dialects. B．Building more online libraries. C．Teaching people how to speak Mandarin. D．Creating digital tools to help people learn dialects. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Language Competition B．Digital Tools in Language Learning C．China’s Efforts on Saving Dialects D．China’s New Technology to Record Dialects 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国为保护濒危方言而启动的中国语言资源保护工程，包括该工程的内容、方言的重要性、工程的实施情况及后续计划等。 1．细节理解题。根据“While many Chinese people speak Mandarin, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.”可知，中国语言资源保护工程主要是为了保护地方方言。故选B。 2． 细节理解题。根据“According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures.”可知，Harold Palmer认为方言重要是因为它们储存着地方文化。故选C。 3．词义猜测题。根据“So how did China build this big library? ‘A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen.’”可知，这里的“it”指代的是前文提到的“build this big library”（建设这个大图书馆）。故选A。 4．推理判断题。根据“The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.”可知，该项目的第二部分主要侧重于创建数字化工具来帮助人们学习方言。故选D。 5．最佳标题题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了中国为拯救濒危方言所做的努力，包括启动中国语言资源保护工程、建设语言资源库以及项目的后续计划等。因此，“China’s Efforts on Saving Dialects”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。 Do you look forward to living in a city that can “think” like humans? Smart cities may help you reach the goal. It is said that by 2050, about 60% people around the world will live in smart cities. Our city, Zhangjiakou, is also actively working on developing a smart city. In fact, a smart city can be like a big and clever machine. For example, the rubbish bins “tell” the cleaners when to clean. The buildings can “talk” to computers to control lights and temperature to save electricity. Different technologies make these things come true. They work together to make a city smart. Internet of things Can your smartwatch whisper to your home? When you’re near your house, your smartwatch sends a secret signal to turn on the lights, even tell your cook to begin to make your afternoon tea. This isn’t magic. Almost everything connects to the Internet and chats with each other online. Big data (数据) Big data does a lot for the city. It helps the city solve problems smarter. For example, data about the traffic flow (流量) in the city tells us how to reduce the traffic jam. Data can predict the weather. This way, we can prepare for it early. Big data isn’t just about traffic and weather. It helps officials decide where to build schools and hospitals. 5G networks 5G networks provide high-speed Internet. It makes the Internet of things p…With 5G, you can download your favorite 2-hour movie in just one second. Ideally, the speed of 5G can be up to 10 GB per second. That can be 100 times faster than 4G. It will rewrite how we live in the city. AI assistants AI assistants don’t just collect data. AI assistants also keep learning from the mistakes. They are like having digital brains that grow smarter every day. More importantly, AI assistants can code apps, write stories, create cool art works and more. AI can’t replace us, but it can help us dream bigger and achieve more. 1．From the text, we know a smart city ________.

To be honest, as they use digital technology too much, they are losing their skills to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the rising numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone.” Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist unless he learns how to use a paint brush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older unless he learns to communicate with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices (选择). It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities (能力), which are good when they grow up. 1．What does the underlined word “blame” mean in Chinese? A．表扬 B．原谅 C．评价 D．责怪 2．The passage is probably a ________. A．notice B．story C．diary D．report 3．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．Children should never use digital technology. B．Using digital technology has no good points for children. C．Parents should pay more attention to children’s communication skills. D．Teachers don’t care about children’s ability to use digital technology. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了现在越来越多的孩子似乎迷失在“数字科技的海洋”中。我们不应该责怪孩子，而是应该帮助他们做出正确的选择，鼓励他们发展社交能力。 1．词义猜测题。根据“We should help them make right choices”可知，应是帮助他们做出正确选择，而不是责备他们。划线单词“blame”意为“责怪”。故选D。 2．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了现在越来越多的孩子似乎迷失在“数字科技的海洋”中。我们不应该责怪孩子，而是应该帮助他们做出正确的选择， 鼓励他们发展社交能力。故推测这篇文章可能是一篇报道。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others”，“Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone”以及“we should encourage them to develop social abilities”可知，儿童沟通能力下降是严重问题，而家长更关注孩子使用电子设备的技能，由此可推测家长应更重视孩子的沟通能力。故选C。 Life in a Digital Future Imagine a world where technology touches every part of our lives.

And one of the newest and most exciting tools is Sora. It is a text-to-video tool that can offer a fresh way to create videos. Sora, which means “sky” in Japanese, shows how strong AI can be. Users simply type in some text, and within minutes, Sora can turn it into a video. No special skills are needed, making it easy for anyone to turn ideas into real videos. That’s the power of Sora. Sora can also build realistic environments, making video games more lifelike. But the influence (影响) of Sora is beyond making videos easier. It also has the ability to improve film, television, and advertising industries. Filmmakers and actors may need to rethink how they work because Sora could bring new competition. Still, there are concerns about its negative effects. Some worry about the influence of Sora on job markets and the quality of videos. However, it’s important to remember that it is a tool, and people are responsible for how they use it. In short, Sora’s ability to quickly create videos marks a big achievement in AI technology. Though there are certainly challenges ahead, the advantages of Sora are easy to see. As we move towards a more digitized (数字化的) world, we will see how Sora shapes the future of video-making soon. 1．What is the main function of Sora? A．It can draw pictures without using other software. B．It can write music about a certain theme on its own. C．It can make a report about the video in several minutes. D．It can turn a passage into a video using several minutes. 2．What industries might be affected by Sora, besides gaming? A．Environment and fishing. B．Movies, TV, and advertising. C．Medicine and healthcare. D．Transportation and shipping. 3．What can we know about Sora according to the text? A．There is no need for video makers to worry about their jobs. B．It’s challenging for Sora to change the future of video-making. C．Sora means “sky” in English and shows the strong ability of AI. D．It’s certain that Sora will improve players’ experience of games. 4．Why does the article emphasize that Sora is just “a tool”? A．To show that Sora is not really useful yet. B．To argue that Sora will replace human creativity. C．To suggest that humans control how technology affects society. D．To highlight that Sora only works if people have technical skills. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了随着技术发展而兴起的一款强大人工智能工具——Sora。 1．细节理解题。根据“Users simply type in some text, and within minutes, Sora can turn it into a video.”可知，用户只需输入一些文字，几分钟之内，Sora就能将其转换成视频。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据“It also has the ability to improve film, television, and advertising industries.”可知，它也有能力改善电影、电视和广告行业。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“Sora can also build realistic environments, making video games more lifelike.”可知，Sora还可以构建逼真的环境，使电子游戏更加逼真。这有助于提升游戏体验。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“However, it’s important to remember that it is a tool, and people are responsible for how they use it.”可知，然而，重要的是要记住Sora是一个工具，人们要对他们如何使用它负责。由此我们可以推断出作者的言外之意是：工具本身没有好坏，其产生的影响（无论是正面的还是负面的）最终取决于使用它的人。也就是说，人类掌控着技术，并决定着技术对社会产生的影响。故选C。 Zhao Shengliang, the head of the Dunhuang Academy, gave a talk at Central Shenzhen Book Mall on December 1st, 2024. The talk was about how digital technology (数字技术) can help protect traditional culture. “Dunhuang connects the Eastern and Western cultures,” Zhao said. “It shows how different cultures exchange ideas. Making the relics (文物) digital is very important because it can keep the old things from Dunhuang safe always.” Zhao showed how digital technology is used in Dunhuang’s art projects. For example, in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) Digital Exhibition Center, tourists can explore the Mogao Grottoes through virtual (虚拟的) tours, where tourists can “travel back” to the caves in ancient times. According to Zhao, working with Huawei has made the visitor experience at Dunhuang much better. They have brought in an AR map. This map can provide AI-guided tours as well as interesting activities like taking pictures with a virtual (虚拟的) deer. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, with ancient art, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Yang Su, a 61-year-old micro vlogger (短视频博主), has more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app Douyin. “Two and a half years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on Douyin, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered. After finishing his studies in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he became a pianist. With the development of the Internet, he walked into a new world. He filmed over 600 short videos and opened an official account (官方账户) on WeChat to share articles and offer online piano lessons. However, do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang?

If this happens, be careful! You might be in something called an information cocoon (茧房) —a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. ②This isn’t something new. Think about ancient times when people sat around a campfire. They only shared stories that their group believed and agreed with. Today, the Internet and social media are like our modern campfire. They connect people all over the world. But just like the old campfire, they also let people share and hear the ideas they already like. ③You might have noticed that social media ads (广告) seem to know what you like. This happens because of a computer program called algorithms (算法). Algorithms are like sets of rules that help computers do things. Every time you click (点击) likes or share something, you leave a “digital footprint (数字脚印)”. This helps algorithms learn what you like. Then they show you more of the same kind of content (内容). ④Information cocoons can make you feel good, but they also have some bad results. ⑤When you only see similar opinions, it’s hard to accept different views. This can make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. ⑥Information cocoons can also lead to more arguments and worries among people. This often makes different groups in society disagree with or do not trust each other even more. ▲ ⑦The good news is that there are ways to break out of the information cocoon. One important thing is to look for different kinds of information. Also, it’s important to learn how to think critically (批判地). This means checking the facts and being open to changing your mind. ⑧By doing these things, you can break out of the information cocoon and see a wider world! 1．Why does the writer mention “algorithms” in Paragraph 3? A．To say algorithms should not be used on social media. B．To talk about how algorithms can be bad for people. C．To tell the story of how algorithms were invented. D．To explain how social media ads show what you like. 2．Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A．But the Internet can also be good. B．Some think algorithms are not safe to use. C．This is why we need to solve this problem. D．Many people like seeing the same things online. 3．What’s the best structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the information cocoon? A．Serious and angry. B．Worried but hopeful. C．Happy and encouraging. D．Scared but meaningful. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述信息茧房的概念、形成原因、不良影响以及打破它的方法。 1．细节理解题。根据“You might have noticed...called algorithms (算法).”可知，提及算法是为解释社交媒体广告展示喜好内容的原因。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“Information cocoons can also...each other even more.”可知，这种不良状况需要解决，选项C“这就是我们需要解决这些问题的原因”可承接。故选C。 3．篇章结构题。文章①段引入信息茧房，②③段讲形成原因，④⑤⑥段讲不良影响，⑦⑧段讲解决办法，选项A结构与之相符。故选A。 4．观点态度题。根据“Information cocoons can...have some bad results.”及“The good news is that...the information cocoon.”可知，作者对信息茧房既担忧又抱有希望。故选B。 18 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 23 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 $ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 2025-2026学年一线教师制作新教材英语同步精品系列资料，名师遴选！ 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ Unit 4 Digital life 单元话题（数字生活）阅读理解进阶练15篇 说明：此专题分三个难度层次，基础入门训练<进阶拓展训练< 能力综合实践，老师根据学生实际情况进行针对性难度训练。 基础入门训练5篇 In the 1970s, a gorilla known as Koko became world-famous when scientists taught her to use human sign language to communicate with people. There were numerous attempts in the mid-1900s to teach human language to non-humans, such as Koko. But what we should have been thinking about was their abilities to engage in complex communication on their own terms instead of trying to teach an animal to talk to us in human language. Today scientists are trying to figure out how living things already share information using their particular methods. This new field of study is known as digital bioacoustics and it involves using tools to understand the production of sounds and their effects on living things. Scientists in this field are using sensors, which are devices that pick up and record information on physical or chemical conditions. Some are also using artificial intelligence (AI) technology, an approach that uses algorithms (算法). The same algorithms that we use in tools such as Google Translate to translate documents can also be used to find patterns in nonhuman communication. Jeremy of Tel Aviv University studied nearly two dozen Egyptian fruit bats for two and a half months and recorded their vocalizations. His team adapted a voice-recognition program to study 15,000 of the sounds. The algorithm matched specific sounds with specific things the bats were doing. Using this program, the researchers were able to classify most of the bats’ sounds. Jeremy and other researchers have found that bats have a much more complex language than we previously understood. Bats argue over food; they distinguish (区分) between genders when they communicate with one another, and they have individual names, or “signature calls”. That’s a great example of how AI is able to find these patterns from information gathered by sensors and microphones. AI reveals things that we can’t hear with our human ears alone because most bat communication happens above our hearing range and because bats speak much faster than we do. We have to slow it down to listen to it. So we cannot listen like a bat, but our computers can. And our computers can also speak back to the bat by producing specific patterns. Digital bioacoustics is like an amazing hearing aid. It lets us listen to animals with both our digitally enhanced ears and our imagination. This is slowly opening our minds not only to the wonderful sounds that nonhumans make, but to a fundamental set of questions about the so-called divide between humans and nonhumans as well as our connection to other species. It’s also opening up new ways to think about protecting living things and our relationship with the planet. It’s pretty meaningful. 1．Regarding scientists’ efforts to teach animal human language, the author feels _________. A．negative B．unconcerned C．uncertain D．supportive 2．Scientists in digital bioacoustics are trying to study _________. A．how animals are using tools to produce their sounds B．how animals use different tools to share information C．how animals are taught to talk in human sign language D．how animals communicate with one another using sounds 3．What can we learn about AI applied in digital bioacoustics? A．It pairs certain animals’ sounds with their behaviors. B．It slows down animals’ sounds within humans’ hearing range. C．It adapts voice-recognition programs to record animals’ sounds. D．It translates specific nonhuman sound patterns into human language. 4．According to the passage, the author may agree that _________. A．animals can be grouped according to their sound patterns B．scientists need to keep studying how animals produce sounds C．digital bioacoustics may inspire humans to rethink their relationship with animals D．the focus of digital bioacoustics should be the divide between humans and nonhumans Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s. Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky—I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.” Ironically, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site—only 2.2 million users are under 17—but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,” she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.” Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. “We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.” Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction (上瘾) as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. “I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,” he says. “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?” So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. “I’m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I’m setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.” Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend for a less digital life? 1．What is the main reason Sheila uses Facebook? A．To post videos of her grandchildren. B．To follow new trends for the elderly. C．To reconnect with old school friends. D．To see updates about her grandchildren. 2．How many UK Facebook users are under 17? A．2.9 million. B．2.2 million. C．3.5 million. D．Not mentioned. 3．What can be inferred about Peter’s behavior? A．He stopped using phones completely. B．He limits phone use to set an example. C．He uses social media more than his children. D．He forces his children to give up smartphones. 4．What does the author mainly want to tell us? A．Different generations face digital challenges. B．Social media benefits all generations equally. C．Smartphones will completely disappear soon. D．Teenagers can teach grandparents technology. Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Mandarin (普通话), some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) a few years ago. This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places, including 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the world’s largest language resource library. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos. Why is protecting the dialect culture important? According to British linguist Harold Palmer, dialects are a key to store local cultures. “Language truly shows the history and the beliefs of an area.” he said. Scholar Zhang Hongming shared his worries about the disappearing of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak it. What’s more, young people over 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear.” he said. So how did China build this big library? “A big national effort (努力) has been put into the project to make it happen.” said Cao Zhiyun, the top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital (数字化的) tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects. 1．What’s the Chinese Language Resources Protection mainly about? A．Teaching people how to speak Mandarin. B．Protecting local dialects. C．Helping people learn foreign languages. D．Building more universities. 2．Why are dialects important according to Harold Palmer in paragraph 3? A．Because they are easy to learn. B．Because they can be used in daily life. C．Because they store local cultures. D．Because they are a symbol of a country. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．Building the big library. B．Joining in universities and research groups. C．Putting into a national effort. D．Getting help from the top expert. 4．What does the second part of the project mainly focus on? A．Collecting more dialects. B．Building more online libraries. C．Teaching people how to speak Mandarin. D．Creating digital tools to help people learn dialects. 5．What is the best title for the passage? A．A Language Competition B．Digital Tools in Language Learning C．China’s Efforts on Saving Dialects D．China’s New Technology to Record Dialects Do you look forward to living in a city that can “think” like humans? Smart cities may help you reach the goal. It is said that by 2050, about 60% people around the world will live in smart cities. Our city, Zhangjiakou, is also actively working on developing a smart city. In fact, a smart city can be like a big and clever machine. For example, the rubbish bins “tell” the cleaners when to clean. The buildings can “talk” to computers to control lights and temperature to save electricity. Different technologies make these things come true. They work together to make a city smart. Internet of things Can your smartwatch whisper to your home? When you’re near your house, your smartwatch sends a secret signal to turn on the lights, even tell your cook to begin to make your afternoon tea. This isn’t magic. Almost everything connects to the Internet and chats with each other online. Big data (数据) Big data does a lot for the city. It helps the city solve problems smarter. For example, data about the traffic flow (流量) in the city tells us how to reduce the traffic jam. Data can predict the weather. This way, we can prepare for it early. Big data isn’t just about traffic and weather. It helps officials decide where to build schools and hospitals. 5G networks 5G networks provide high-speed Internet. It makes the Internet of things p…With 5G, you can download your favorite 2-hour movie in just one second. Ideally, the speed of 5G can be up to 10 GB per second. That can be 100 times faster than 4G. It will rewrite how we live in the city. AI assistants AI assistants don’t just collect data. AI assistants also keep learning from the mistakes. They are like having digital brains that grow smarter every day. More importantly, AI assistants can code apps, write stories, create cool art works and more. AI can’t replace us, but it can help us dream bigger and achieve more. 1．From the text, we know a smart city ________.

It’s now one of the most famous places of interest in China. Looking down from the Forbidden City, you’ll be surprised to find that it’s a symmetrical layout (对称布局). The Taihe Hall, the Zhonghe Hall and the Baohe Hall make up the Forbidden City’s central line. There are more than 70 palaces with over 9,000 rooms on both sides of it. Yellow is its dominant (首要的) color, and many things are painted with this color. The Taihe Hall is the biggest palace of China, and it is made of wood. There is wide open space in front of it, commonly known as yuetai. The lower part of the Taihe Hall is built of stone with a height of 8.13 meters, surrounded by railings (栏杆). Under the railings, there are some stone dragons. During the rainy season, you can see a wonder of thousands of dragons spitting water. In recent years, the 600-year-old Forbidden City has become famous through the Internet. A “Digital Forbidden City” has also been created—it has allowed people to visit the palace like being there on the Internet and see it in different views.

To be honest, as they use digital technology too much, they are losing their skills to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the rising numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things.” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents are glad to see the skills of their children to use a computer or a smart phone.” Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist unless he learns how to use a paint brush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older unless he learns to communicate with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t blame the children. We should help them make right choices (选择). It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities (能力), which are good when they grow up. 1．What does the underlined word “blame” mean in Chinese? A．表扬 B．原谅 C．评价 D．责怪 2．The passage is probably a ________. A．notice B．story C．diary D．report 3．What can we infer (推测) from the passage? A．Children should never use digital technology. B．Using digital technology has no good points for children. C．Parents should pay more attention to children’s communication skills. D．Teachers don’t care about children’s ability to use digital technology. Life in a Digital Future Imagine a world where technology touches every part of our lives. This digital future isn’t science fiction—it’s coming soon. In this era, smart homes will manage everything. Lights turn on automatically to welcome you, and fridges order groceries by themselves. To control appliances with voice commands makes life convenient, especially for the elderly. Online learning platforms will allow students to attend virtual classes globally—an amazing advantage for education. However, challenges exist. Relying too much on technology might reduce face-to-face communication skills. Cyber security risks could threaten privacy. Still, to balance digital tools with real-world connections is key. Personally, I believe to embrace this change wisely will bring more benefits than problems. After all, to adapt is to progress. 阅读单选 1．What is the main topic of the passage? A．History of digital technology. B．Future digital lifestyles. C．Current shopping methods. D．Problems of online learning. 2．How will digital life help the elderly? A．By replacing human caregivers. B．Through face-to-face communication. C．By increasing cyber security risks. D．By making home control convenient. 3．What is mentioned as a potential problem? A．Voice commands becoming outdated.

B．Global learning opportunities. C．Automatic light systems. D．Reduced privacy protection. With the growth of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) has become more powerful. And one of the newest and most exciting tools is Sora. It is a text-to-video tool that can offer a fresh way to create videos. Sora, which means “sky” in Japanese, shows how strong AI can be. Users simply type in some text, and within minutes, Sora can turn it into a video. No special skills are needed, making it easy for anyone to turn ideas into real videos. That’s the power of Sora. Sora can also build realistic environments, making video games more lifelike. But the influence (影响) of Sora is beyond making videos easier. It also has the ability to improve film, television, and advertising industries. Filmmakers and actors may need to rethink how they work because Sora could bring new competition. Still, there are concerns about its negative effects. Some worry about the influence of Sora on job markets and the quality of videos. However, it’s important to remember that it is a tool, and people are responsible for how they use it. In short, Sora’s ability to quickly create videos marks a big achievement in AI technology. Though there are certainly challenges ahead, the advantages of Sora are easy to see. As we move towards a more digitized (数字化的) world, we will see how Sora shapes the future of video-making soon. 1．What is the main function of Sora? A．It can draw pictures without using other software. B．It can write music about a certain theme on its own. C．It can make a report about the video in several minutes. D．It can turn a passage into a video using several minutes. 2．What industries might be affected by Sora, besides gaming? A．Environment and fishing. B．Movies, TV, and advertising. C．Medicine and healthcare. D．Transportation and shipping. 3．What can we know about Sora according to the text? A．There is no need for video makers to worry about their jobs. B．It’s challenging for Sora to change the future of video-making. C．Sora means “sky” in English and shows the strong ability of AI. D．It’s certain that Sora will improve players’ experience of games. 4．Why does the article emphasize that Sora is just “a tool”? A．To show that Sora is not really useful yet. B．To argue that Sora will replace human creativity. C．To suggest that humans control how technology affects society. D．To highlight that Sora only works if people have technical skills. Zhao Shengliang, the head of the Dunhuang Academy, gave a talk at Central Shenzhen Book Mall on December 1st, 2024. The talk was about how digital technology (数字技术) can help protect traditional culture. “Dunhuang connects the Eastern and Western cultures,” Zhao said. “It shows how different cultures exchange ideas. Making the relics (文物) digital is very important because it can keep the old things from Dunhuang safe always.” Zhao showed how digital technology is used in Dunhuang’s art projects. For example, in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) Digital Exhibition Center, tourists can explore the Mogao Grottoes through virtual (虚拟的) tours, where tourists can “travel back” to the caves in ancient times. According to Zhao, working with Huawei has made the visitor experience at Dunhuang much better. They have brought in an AR map. This map can provide AI-guided tours as well as interesting activities like taking pictures with a virtual (虚拟的) deer. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, with ancient art, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

While the mobile Internet is changing the way we live, more and more old people in China are getting in on the digital (数字的) world. Yang Su, a 61-year-old micro vlogger (短视频博主), has more than 2.3 million followers on China’s famous short video app Douyin. “Two and a half years ago, my son put a short video of me playing the piano at home on Douyin, and hours later it was played over 1 million times,” Yang remembered. After finishing his studies in the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, he became a pianist. With the development of the Internet, he walked into a new world. He filmed over 600 short videos and opened an official account (官方账户) on WeChat to share articles and offer online piano lessons. However, do other old people get used to the digital world like Yang? Ding Qiulin is a 73-year-old man from Hunan. “I got my smartphone more than one year ago, but I only use WeChat for video calls,” he said. Ding finds it hard to learn to use other apps. ____________ Luo Xu, a post-90s volunteer, joined a non-profit (非营利性的) group in Beijing nine years ago to teach old people how to use the Internet. “While I am helping people aged between 50 and 90 years old, I have a strong feeling of satisfaction.” Luo said. 1．How did Yang become famous at first?

This video with over 34,000 likes is one of many creations by Li Tinghuai, a master of Ru porcelain. He has shared over 600 videos on TikTok since 2019, attracting 143,000 followers. TikTok helps open up new markets for Li’s products. More importantly, it has also spread Ru porcelain culture to the world.

The following are some money games for kids that can teach them the different values of bills and coins, how to handle money, and even economics. Buy It Right Age range: Ages 7 to 12 Buy It Right lets kids get hands-on experience dealing with bills and coins while introducing the concept of prices and thinking through whether an object is too expensive or not. Kids set their prices and buy and sell items while moving their piece around the board. Money Match Me Age range: Ages 5 to 8 While not entirely a game, Money Match Me can be a fun way to test kids’ knowledge of coins.

Money Bags Age range: Recommended for ages 7+ If your kids need practice counting money and telling apart different coins, the Money Bags game can help. As players move along the board, they collect money from the bank. The winner is the person who has the most money when the game ends.

In each of the episodes, Mr. Wang, a famous host, leads a group of young people to learn and feel the rich culture in Dunhuang.

A．A TV Show About Dunhuang B．Ways to Protect Dunhuang Frescoes C．The Past Life in Dunhuang D．A Trip to Dunhuang ①You might see everything you see or hear on the Internet makes you more sure of what you already think. If this happens, be careful! You might be in something called an information cocoon (茧房) —a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. ②This isn’t something new. Think about ancient times when people sat around a campfire. They only shared stories that their group believed and agreed with. Today, the Internet and social media are like our modern campfire. They connect people all over the world. But just like the old campfire, they also let people share and hear the ideas they already like. ③You might have noticed that social media ads (广告) seem to know what you like. This happens because of a computer program called algorithms (算法). Algorithms are like sets of rules that help computers do things. Every time you click (点击) likes or share something, you leave a “digital footprint (数字脚印)”. This helps algorithms learn what you like. Then they show you more of the same kind of content (内容). ④Information cocoons can make you feel good, but they also have some bad results. ⑤When you only see similar opinions, it’s hard to accept different views. This can make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. ⑥Information cocoons can also lead to more arguments and worries among people. This often makes different groups in society disagree with or do not trust each other even more. ▲ ⑦The good news is that there are ways to break out of the information cocoon. One important thing is to look for different kinds of information. Also, it’s important to learn how to think critically (批判地). This means checking the facts and being open to changing your mind. ⑧By doing these things, you can break out of the information cocoon and see a wider world! 1．Why does the writer mention “algorithms” in Paragraph 3? A．To say algorithms should not be used on social media. B．To talk about how algorithms can be bad for people. C．To tell the story of how algorithms were invented. D．To explain how social media ads show what you like. 2．Which sentence can be put in the ▲ ? A．But the Internet can also be good. B．Some think algorithms are not safe to use. C．This is why we need to solve this problem. D．Many people like seeing the same things online. 3．What’s the best structure of this passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the information cocoon? A．Serious and angry. B．Worried but hopeful. C．Happy and encouraging. D．Scared but meaningful. 12 同步新教材，周周有练习，月月有重点！ 17 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 $
