The local kids had to endure a long-and-arduous journey to reach their school, which was far away from their homes. They had to walk along narrow and bumpy paths, and in bad weather, it was even more challenging. A significant change took place in 2018. The local government, recognizing the town’s potential, launched an innovative cultural-tourism integration project. They restored ancient buildings, created cultural exhibition halls, and developed unique folk-custom experience areas. By 2023, Xingfu Town had transformed into a popular tourist destination. A new-type “smart school bus” system was also established for the students. This special school bus was equipped with advanced navigation and safety monitoring systems. Now, children can reach school in 40 minutes. Previously, it took them at least two hours to get to school on foot. “Before, going to school was like a tiring adventure. I was always worried about being late or getting hurt on the way,” said 12-year-old Li Mei, a student from Xingfu Town. “But now, on the smart school bus, I can enjoy the view of our beautiful town and feel excited about the new day at school.” The “smart school bus” not only shortens the travel time for students but also injects new vitality into the town. More and more tourists are attracted by the town’s unique culture and beautiful scenery. Many villagers have started small businesses, such as handicraft shops and local-food restaurants. Wang Gang, a local entrepreneur who participated in the project, hopes that the children in the town can take advantage of the convenience brought by the “smart school bus” to gain more knowledge and experiences. He wishes that they will one day return to their hometown with new ideas and skills to further develop Xingfu Town. 16．Which word best describes the kids’ old way to school in Xingfu Town?

Does this situation sound familiar(熟悉)? You are complaining to your parents about something. Maybe your computer isn’t powerful enough to play the latest games. 21 Then you hear... When I was your age, there weren’t any computers or video games. And I didn’t get a bike until I was sixteen. And it was second-hand bike. 22 So, is it really true that life is better for teenagers now? It is certainly true that many teenagers have got more things nowadays. 23 So parents have got more money to spend on each child. And many things are cheaper than they were when our parents were children. 24 Forty years ago, no one could imagine a world with tiny computers and amazing smartphones. And now these things are necessary—we can’t imagine living without them! However, technology often means we spend more time at home. And often it’s just with our computer or television. Teenagers don’t do enough exercise. 25 And, although young people still get on well with their friends, some people think teenagers today don’t have so many social activities as they did in the past. What do you think? How is teenage life better these days? A．And it was too big for me. B．A typical family is smaller now. C．Or your friends’ bikes are better than yours! D．So they aren’t as healthy as they were in the past. E．Technology is probably the greatest change in our life.

Neighbors helped one another build houses, and clear fields. Families depended on one another for friendship and entertainment. But today in our cities and suburbs, friendly relationship between neighbors is not common. A family may not even know the other families that live next door to them. In an age of machines, each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. Machines keep people apart in other ways. In our grandparents’ time, women met while they hung out the washing, and men stopped and talked while they mowed (割草)the lawns. Today, they cannot hear anything above the noise of their power lawn mowers. And women stay inside with their electrical dryers, which help dry their clothes. Children are inside watching their favorite TV shows. Is the idea of being a good neighbor old-fashioned? In 1965, a power cut hit New York City, and many thousands of people were left helpless. Suddenly, everyone shared the same problem, and the largest city became a group of eight million neighbors. People with cars offered rides to those walking. Other people helped direct traffic. In elevators, people played word games and helped cheer each other up. In times of trouble, people still depend on one another. As time goes on, people may once again feel that being a good neighbor is important. 1．Is friendly relationship between neighbors common in our cities and suburbs? 2．Why do people no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did? 3．What do women use their electrical dryers to do? 4．What do you think of being a good neighbor? Why? 【答案】 1． No, it isn’t. 2． Because they live in an age of machines./ Because each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. 3． They use them to dry their clothes. 4． I think it’s still important. Because good neighbors can always help each other when they meet with difficulties, which reflects the traditional virtues of Chinese nation. 【导语】本文主要讲述了邻里之间的友好关系随着时代的发展而发生的改变。 1．根据“But today in our cities and suburbs, friendly relationship between neighbors is not common.”可知，邻里之间的友好关系在我们的城市和郊区并不常见，所以此题作否定回答。故填No, it isn’t. 2．根据“In an age of machines, each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. People no longer depend on neighbors as much as they once did. ”可知，人们不再像以前那样依赖邻居，是因为他们生活在一个机器时代，每个家庭都有自己的汽车、电视机和洗衣机。故填Because they live in an age of machines./ Because each family may have its own car, TV set, and washing machine. 3．根据“And women stay inside with their electrical dryers, which help dry their clothes.”可知，女性使用烘干机来烘干衣服。故填They use them to dry their clothes. 4．开放式问题，根据实际情况回答，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think it’s still important. Because good neighbors can always help each other when they meet with difficulties, which reflects the traditional virtues of Chinese nation.

The local kids had to endure a long-and-arduous journey to reach their school, which was far away from their homes. They had to walk along narrow and bumpy paths, and in bad weather, it was even more challenging. A significant change took place in 2018. The local government, recognizing the town’s potential, launched an innovative cultural-tourism integration project. They restored ancient buildings, created cultural exhibition halls, and developed unique folk-custom experience areas. By 2023, Xingfu Town had transformed into a popular tourist destination. A new-type “smart school bus” system was also established for the students. This special school bus was equipped with advanced navigation and safety monitoring systems. Now, children can reach school in 40 minutes. Previously, it took them at least two hours to get to school on foot. “Before, going to school was like a tiring adventure. I was always worried about being late or getting hurt on the way,” said 12-year-old Li Mei, a student from Xingfu Town. “But now, on the smart school bus, I can enjoy the view of our beautiful town and feel excited about the new day at school.” The “smart school bus” not only shortens the travel time for students but also injects new vitality into the town. More and more tourists are attracted by the town’s unique culture and beautiful scenery. Many villagers have started small businesses, such as handicraft shops and local-food restaurants. Wang Gang, a local entrepreneur who participated in the project, hopes that the children in the town can take advantage of the convenience brought by the “smart school bus” to gain more knowledge and experiences. He wishes that they will one day return to their hometown with new ideas and skills to further develop Xingfu Town. 16．Which word best describes the kids’ old way to school in Xingfu Town? A．Convenient. B．Comfortable. C．Difficult. D．Relaxing. 17．What was the key factor for the transformation of Xingfu Town? A．The beautiful natural scenery around the town. B．The establishment of the “smart school bus” system. C．The local people’s hard-working spirit. D．The cultural-tourism integration project launched by the local government. 18．How long does it take the kids to go to school now? A．20 minutes. B．40 minutes. C．One hour. D．Two hours. 19．The “smart school bus” brings ________ to the town children. A．more trouble and challenges B．shorter and safer journeys C．longer but more interesting trips D．dangerous but exciting experiences 20．According to the passage, what is Wang Gang’s wish? A．Students can start their own businesses in the town. B．Villagers can earn more money from tourism. C．Children can use the convenience to grow and return to build their hometown. D．More tourists will come to visit Xingfu Town. B China’s soft power is rising, and it’s not a surprise. There are some interesting things happening behind it. First, a game called Black Myth: Wukong became very popular around the world. It’s like a new kind of Eastern fantasy. Then, DeepSeek R1 showed up. It made people in Silicon Valley and other tech areas think about China’s power in AI. At the same time, the movie Ne Zha 2 broke many box office records for cartoons.
