Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·北京市昌平区·期末)
We are delighted to be able to offer free desk space to work within the Imaginate office. This space is free for people working with or creating for young audiences — makers, designers, technicians, producers, programmers — but must be booked ahead of time. As our office gets busier in the months leading up to the Festival, the hot desk is harder to book from March to mid-June especially on Mondays and Wednesdays. Please email info@imaginate.com with your preferred days and any access (访问) requirements or questions if you’d like to come hot-desking.
Who is hot-desking for?
Anyone who works in/who is interested in working with young audiences: artists, designers, employees of arts organisations.
What do you get?
● Access to a desk and a connection point to use your laptop
● Free tea and coffee, as well as access to a kitchen for lunch
● Free access to a printer and Free Wi-Fi
What does a typical week in Imaginate office look like?
At Imaginate, we work in a big open space with good natural daylight. We like chatting about our day, the latest show we’ve seen and have passionate discussion about social problems or the latest TV series airing. The office can be quite noisy, especially between 13:00-14:00 where we all gather around the big table with drinks or foods. We’d be delighted if you could join us for lunch, but feel free to step out for some fresh air if you prefer.
Why do we want to share our space with you?
We offer Arts Workers spaces for hot-desking in our office because:
● we know what it feels like to work from home most of the day and need a change of setting without having to pay for endless coffees.
● we know what it feels like to be on a day trip, have 2 hours to kill and be not sure what to do before catching the cheaper train.
your presence is good for our own networking, so you’ re also helping us by keeping us company!

主题04 人与社会——科学与技术
Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·北京市北师大附中·期末)
What it does
The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic (光催化) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.
How it works
The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively remove bacteria (细菌) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source-inside a transparent glass door handle - is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.
Design process
We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.
How it is different
Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.
Future plans
In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.
Awards
In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.
18.How does the self-cleaning door handle function?
A.It controls the door movement automatically.
B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.
C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.
D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.
19.Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is
A.safer and cheaper B.cleaner and easier
C.less heavy and more effective D.more attractive and expensive
20.What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?
A.It has been widely used in public areas.
B.It is quite competitive among similar products.
C.It has received positive responses for its innovation.
D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.
【答案】18.D 19.C 20.C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了结合先进的光催化和黑光技术的自洁门把手。
18.细节理解题。根据What it does中“A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning.(一个光源激活门把手涂层,告诉它开始清洁。)”可知,光源指示门把手涂层自行清洁。故选D。
19.细节理解题。根据Design process中“We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.(我们用不锈钢制作了第一个版本。然而,它使门把手变重了。然后,我们尝试了铝,这使它更轻,容易修理。我们还改进了发电机的输出,有效地将门运动的能量转化为光源。)”可知,与第一代相比,目前这代产品更轻也更有效。故选C。
20.推理判断题。根据How it is different中“In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.(在门锁和门把手市场,它是一个独特的设计,因为没有类似的产品。)”以及Awards中“In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.(除了获得詹姆斯·戴森奖,它还获得了金奖,并在2016年参加了第44届日内瓦国际发明展。)”可知,这款产品的创新得到了积极的回应。故选C。
Passage 2
(23-24学年高一上·北京市海淀区·期末)
Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs.
1. G-GPS
G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.
If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking, this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.
2. P-Finder
Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that?”
If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finde might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike.
Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name.
You can buy the app for $5 on its official website.
3. N-Land
N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地).
By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more. You can even do this if you’re offline. This app is an ongoing project, and maps of new territories are regularly added.
You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help.
21.Which app can provide a whole view of mountain peaks?
A.G-GPS. B.P-Finder. C.N-Land. D.A-Trails.
22.What do the three apps have in common?
A.They suit all levels of hikers.
B.They should be used with other apps.
C.They are free of charge in the app stores.
D.They can be used without Internet connection.
23.What can we learn from the passage?
A.G-GPS is a must for hikers due to its database.
B.P-Finder can automatically take a photo for users.
C.N-Land can increase users’ knowledge of the land.
D.V-Ranger can attach the correct name to each location.
24.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To recommend apps for hikers. B.To introduce various hiking trails.
C.To encourage people to go hiking. D.To compare different kinds of apps.
【答案】21.B 22.D 23.C 24.A
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要为徒步旅行者推荐了几款应用程序。
21.细节理解题。根据文章2. P-Finder部分第二段“It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360°view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection.(由于其独特的功能,它可以从您的探索中消除猜测:从您当前的位置360°查看山峰及其名称,无需连接互联网)”可知,P-Finder可以提供山峰的全景。故选B项。
22.细节理解题。根据文章1. G-GPS部分第一段“Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.(此外,当你离线且没有手机服务时,它也能正常工作)”和2. P-Finder部分第二段“It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360°view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection.(由于其独特的功能,它可以从您的探索中消除猜测:从您当前的位置360°查看山峰及其名称,无需连接互联网)”和3.

Passage 4
(24-25学年高一上·北京市东城区·期末)
Dear Editor,
In your last issue, it was mentioned that a lot of historic places are suffering damage and might not be restored completely. It’s heartbreaking.
I am not a historian, but currently, my job relates directly to the preservation of cultural relics. I work in the IT industry and my main job is to use digital technology to document and protect the valuable relics. This allows us to keep every detail and preserve them for future generations, and even more than this — one remarkable example is the 3D digitization project of the Palace Museum in China, which allows people around the world to explore the wonderful museum without having to be physically present.
However, the use of digital technology in cultural heritage protection still falls short of expectations. More investment (投资) is highly needed. This includes the support for further research and development of technologies, as well as the training of professionals who are good at both cultural heritage and digital technology. Ensuring the long-term storage and the safety of the digital data (资料;数据) is also a challenging task.
Despite the challenges, I believe digital technology holds great promise in cultural protection.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to seeing more articles on cultural protection in your magazine.
Martin LaPierre

The end of the school year is often when we celebrate student growth. I know how important it is for students to look back at everything they’ve achieved.
Students don’t always remember how far they’ve come over the year. When we praise students for their growth, we help them remember or see it themselves. This can help inspire them to continue learning. That’s why I’ve written this letter to my fifth-grade students.
Dear Students,
I can’t believe it, but we’re coming to the end of our school year. Let’s look back at all you’ve done this year.
I saw you learn to set goals, focus on learning, and find ways to deal with stress. I saw your confidence soar throughout the year. I saw you explore your interests and you taught me about the problems you care deeply about. I feel good knowing the world is in your hands!
As you look back at all of these achievements, here are a few things I hope you remember next school year.
• Lifelong learners ask questions. You’ve learned how to ask this year, so keep asking!
• Stay curious. You are so much more than what can ever be shown with a test score or a grade.

I can tell you how lucky I was to be your teacher.
Yours,
Lily

We’d be delighted if you could join us for lunch, but feel free to step out for some fresh air if you prefer.

Passage 1
(24-25学年高一上·北京市北师大附中·期末)
What it does
The self-cleaning door handle is combining with advanced photocatalytic (光催化) and blacklight technology. A light source activates the door’s handle coating, telling it to start cleaning. It can minimize the risk of infection by contact and improve the cleanliness of a space.
How it works
The working principle of the product is that a thin advanced photocatalytic coating can effectively remove bacteria (细菌) on the surface of a substance. A consistent UV light source-inside a transparent glass door handle - is required to activate the door’s handle coating on the outer surface for disinfection, so a generator is used to provide electricity to light up a UV LED lamp by the motion of an opening and closing door. Then, the door handle can clean by itself.
Design process
We made the first version by using stainless steel. However, it caused the door handle to be heavier. Then, we tried aluminum, which made it light and easy to fix. We also improved the generator output which effectively turned energy from door movement into a light source.
How it is different
Our innovative design is simple, effective, and attractive. It has an elegant smooth shape, and its minimalist appearance stands out in today’s world of inventions. Nowadays, people use chemical cleaning materials to clean up public areas but it harms the human body. Our design can be used for a long time and is effective. It can self-clean after each use. In the door lock and door handle market, it is a unique design because there are no similar products.
Future plans
In the future, we will commercialize the product and hope that it can compete on the market with similar products. We are going to connect with public properties, for example, shopping malls, hotels, hospitals and public restrooms, where the risk of spreading infection is higher.
Awards
In addition to winning the James Dyson Award, it has also received the Gold Award, and in 2016, it was featured in the 44th International Geneva Inventions Exhibition.
18.How does the self-cleaning door handle function?
A.It controls the door movement automatically.
B.It minimizes the risk of infection by less contact.
C.Chemical cleaning materials are used to clean it up.
D.The light source tells the door handle coating to clean itself.
19.Compared with the first version of the product, the present one is
A.safer and cheaper B.cleaner and easier
C.less heavy and more effective D.more attractive and expensive
20.What do we know about the new invention according to the passage?
A.It has been widely used in public areas.
B.It is quite competitive among similar products.
C.It has received positive responses for its innovation.
D.It will replace traditional chemical cleaning materials.
Passage 2
(23-24学年高一上·北京市海淀区·期末)
Whether you’re brand new to hiking or looking to discover your next favorite trail (路线), hiking apps might be the tool to help you get there. Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs.
1. G-GPS
G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service.
If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking, this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather.
2. P-Finder
Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that?”
If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finde might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike.
Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name.
You can buy the app for $5 on its official website.
3. N-Land
N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地).
By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more. You can even do this if you’re offline. This app is an ongoing project, and maps of new territories are regularly added.
You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help.
21.Which app can provide a whole view of mountain peaks?
A.G-GPS. B.P-Finder. C.N-Land. D.A-Trails.
22.What do the three apps have in common?
A.They suit all levels of hikers.
B.They should be used with other apps.
C.They are free of charge in the app stores.
D.They can be used without Internet connection.
23.What can we learn from the passage?
A.G-GPS is a must for hikers due to its database.
B.P-Finder can automatically take a photo for users.
C.N-Land can increase users’ knowledge of the land.
D.V-Ranger can attach the correct name to each location.
24.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To recommend apps for hikers. B.To introduce various hiking trails.
C.To encourage people to go hiking. D.To compare different kinds of apps.

Festivals are celebrated out of varied reasons. Here are some festivals that might make you a little confused.
Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival-Lopburi, Thailand
Before you start to consider how a monkey would taste, this is a buffet for monkeys. The local monkeys in Bangkok are gifted with a feast(盛宴) of foods every November. After the monkeys are given their treat, Youths dressed up as monkeys perform dances. The festivals was first held in 1989, run by a local businessman who thought of this unique way to promote tourism in Lopburi. Luckily for him and the monkeys, it worked. Burning Man-Black Rock Desert, Nevada, the USA
At the end of every summer, an artistic community comes together to create and dismantle (拆除) a city in the Nevada desert. Founded in 1986 in San Francisco, California, Burning Man is a mind as well as a festival. Some of the group’s values include self-reliance, self-expression and more. The community celebrates by combining all of their individual talents to create artistic sculptures (雕塑), Buildings and more that all participants can enjoy. After the event, the festival-goers aim to leave no trace of their activities by restoring the environment to exactly as it was when they arrived.
Air Guitar World Championship-Oulu, Finland
Air Guitar World Championship has been held annually in Oulu, Finland, since 1996 as part of the Oulu Music Video Festival. What started as a joe has turned into a serious draw for the event. Participants must play air guitar on stage in two rounds with each lasting at least one minute (one song is chosen by the participant and one by the organizer).

We want them to take the lessons they've learned on the field and apply them in the classroom, in their homes, and beyond.

Therefore, we will teach them to use basic and pore difficult skills of the game on court; Besides, we provide opportunities to develop personal skills.

Also, we provide kids in our Senior Age Group with opportunities to develop their leadership skills, such as leading warm-ups and communication skills as they learn to work together as a team.
What Will They Learn?

Dear Editor,
In your last issue, it was mentioned that a lot of historic places are suffering damage and might not be restored completely. It’s heartbreaking.
I am not a historian, but currently, my job relates directly to the preservation of cultural relics. I work in the IT industry and my main job is to use digital technology to document and protect the valuable relics. This allows us to keep every detail and preserve them for future generations, and even more than this — one remarkable example is the 3D digitization project of the Palace Museum in China, which allows people around the world to explore the wonderful museum without having to be physically present.
However, the use of digital technology in cultural heritage protection still falls short of expectations. More investment (投资) is highly needed. This includes the support for further research and development of technologies, as well as the training of professionals who are good at both cultural heritage and digital technology. Ensuring the long-term storage and the safety of the digital data (资料;数据) is also a challenging task.
Despite the challenges, I believe digital technology holds great promise in cultural protection.
Thank you for your time and attention. I look forward to seeing more articles on cultural protection in your magazine.
Martin LaPierre

Passage 3
(23-24学年高一上·北京市昌平区·期末)
The end of the school year is often when we celebrate student growth. I know how important it is for students to look back at everything they’ve achieved.
Students don’t always remember how far they’ve come over the year. When we praise students for their growth, we help them remember or see it themselves. This can help inspire them to continue learning. That’s why I’ve written this letter to my fifth-grade students.
Dear Students,
I can’t believe it, but we’re coming to the end of our school year. Let’s look back at all you’ve done this year.
I saw you learn to set goals, focus on learning, and find ways to deal with stress. I saw your confidence soar throughout the year. I saw you explore your interests and you taught me about the problems you care deeply about. I feel good knowing the world is in your hands!
As you look back at all of these achievements, here are a few things I hope you remember next school year.
• Lifelong learners ask questions. You’ve learned how to ask this year, so keep asking!
• Stay curious. You are so much more than what can ever be shown with a test score or a grade.
• Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Use mistakes as chances to learn and grow.
• Continue to get along well with your friends and teachers.
I can tell you how lucky I was to be your teacher.
Yours,
Lily
