One of Coca-Cola’s many slogans (标语) was “You can’t beat the real thing”. The company was trying to say that there were a lot of other drinks, but none of them was as good as the “real” Coke.
You may not agree. But when it comes to art, scientists in the Netherlands think it’s true—you can’t beat the real thing.
Martin de Munnik, a member of the Neurensis Research (研究) Company, did a research with other members. They invited 20 volunteers to take part in it in the Mauritshuis Museum. Researchers showed five real artworks to them. While they were looking at the artworks, a special machine recorded their brain (大脑) activities.
Then these volunteers needed to look at the pictures of the same five artworks as before. The researchers compared (比较) their brain activities when they were looking at the real artworks and the pictures. The research showed that when volunteers were looking at the real artworks, their emotional responses (情绪反应) were 10 times stronger than those when they were looking at the pictures.
The researchers said the responses were quite different. Real artworks made the brain much more excited than pictures of the same artworks did. The real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is about feelings and memories.
Erik Scherder, a famous scientist, said the research showed the importance of museums for people of all ages. “It shows what the real artwork does for your brain when you see it closely,” he said. “Museums can make people have such rich feelings that everyone can get a lot from them.”

e. Researchers invited 20 volunteers to take part in the research.
A.a-c-b-d-e B.a-c-e-d-b C.e-a-b-d-c D.e-a-d-c-b
34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Enjoying real artworks is only helpful to children.
B.The precuneus is a part of the brain about languages.
C.Looking at real artworks can bring people rich feelings.
D.Pictures will cause stronger emotional responses than real artworks.

Along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.
On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea.
More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒,竹炉汤沸火初红).
Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡).
However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.
Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.”
36.What does the underlined word “it” in Para. 1 refer to?
A.Tea. B.China. C.Life. D.Firewood.
37.What does the writer want to tell us through Du Lei’s poem?
A.It was very cold in winter.
B.Tea was easier to boil than wine.
C.Tea was less expensive than wine.
D.It was a custom to welcome friends with tea.
38.When did steep tea become more popular?
A.In the Tang Dynasty. B.In the Song Dynasty.
C.In the Ming Dynasty. D.We don’t know about it.
39.What do people usually do before boiling tea in a teapot on a stove?
A.They lightly roast tea leaves.
B.They have snacks with their hot tea.
C.They sit away from the stove to keep safe.
D.They wear traditional hanfu and take photos.
40.Why are so many people interested in “stove-boiled” tea?
A.To feel much warmer in cold winter.
B.To share ideas with others on the Internet.
C.To spend more time with their best friends.
D.To taste a slower life and find their inner peace.
【答案】36.A 37.D 38.C 39.A 40.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的茶文化以及在年轻人之间流行的“围炉煮茶”。
36.代词指代题。根据“tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.”可知,茶被认为是中国生活的七大必需品之一。如今,它已成为全球公认的人类共同文化瑰宝。所以it指的是茶,故选A。
37.细节理解题。根据“It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads:”可知,作者想告诉我们主人用煮好的茶欢迎来访的客人是中国的传统习俗。故选D。
38.细节理解题。根据“Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡).”可知,泡茶从明朝开始流行起来,故选C。
39.细节理解题。根据“They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea.”可知,他们先把茶叶稍微烤一下,然后把茶叶放在茶壶里,放在装满木炭的炉子上煮。人们在自然环境中围坐在火炉旁,边喝热茶边吃零食。所以在炉子上用茶壶煮茶之前,人们通常会轻轻地烤茶叶。故选A。
40.细节理解题。根据“Through ‘stove-boiled’ tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace.”可知,他们是为了品尝慢节奏的生活,寻找内心的平静。故选D。

Would you fully trust an AI tool when it gives you advice on shopping or travel? You probably shouldn’t. Sometimes, the answers it gives may hide advertisements.
For example, some people use DeepSeek-RI to make travel guides. At first, the guides seem helpful. But later, they notice strong recommendations for certain group tours at the end. These tours might come from small travel companies, and the suggested websites could be shopping sites for elderly people. Another example is when you ask about washing machines, the AI might say, “Book through a reliable (值得信赖的) platform like XXX,” though many people have said bad words about that platform for years.
The same thing happens with AI fortune-telling (占卜). Many people get advice like “Wear a red or purple bracelet (手镯) made of a certain stone for good luck.” But if you check online, almost everyone receives the same answer!
Young people might take no notice of these websites by themselves. But when an AI gives the same information, it suddenly seems more believable.
Why do people believe AI? They think AI is neutral (中立的). They know AI can make mistakes, but they don’t think it tells lies on purpose. They forget that AI learns from the internet, which includes many ads—some clear, some hidden.
People can judge information based on their own experiences. But AI has no real-life experience. It has never joined a group tour or faced pressure (压力) from a tour guide. To AI, everything is just data (数据). That’s why its advice might sound right but actually be useless.
In the internet age, always think carefully about information-especially when it doesn’t come from your own experience. Just like you wouldn’t trust a stranger too easily, don’t blindly trust AI either!
Should we trust AI completely?
Facts
When asking for travelling and shopping advice, users may get answers with 56 advertisements from AI tools.
Examples
·AI 57 certain group tours from small companies.
·AI sometimes shows 58 websites to elderly people.
·AI may provide unreliable(不值得信赖的) booking websites with bad 59 .
·AI gives the same fortune-telling advice to everyone.
Users’ opinions on AI
·They think AI tools are neutral and 60
·They trust the information from AI more than from a website.
Problems and 61 behind
·AI doesn’t have real feelings or life experience, so it may give wrong 62 .
·AI learns everything from the Internet, 63 both real ads and secret ones.
Suggestions/ Advice
You’d better be 64 with information, especially if it’s not from our own experience.
Your ideas
Do you think AI tools are helpful to middle school students? Why or why not?

【导语】本文介绍了AI工具DeepSeek-R1在推荐旅行和购物信息时可能隐藏广告,提醒读者在互联网时代对未知信息保持警惕,不要盲目信任AI。
56.根据“Would you fully trust an AI tool when it gives you advice on shopping or travel? You probably shouldn’t. Sometimes, the answers it gives may hide advertisements.”可知,在询问旅行和购物建议时,用户通过 AI 工具可能会获得隐藏广告的答案,该处需要填一个形容词,hidden“隐藏的”,作定语,符合语境。故填hidden。
57.根据“But later, they notice strong recommendations for certain group tours at the end. These tours might come from small travel companies,”可知,AI会推荐一些小旅行社的旅行团,这里需要填recommend“推荐”的三单形式。故填recommends。
58.根据“and the suggested websites could be shopping sites for elderly people.”可知,AI有时候向老年人展示购物网站,shopping website“购物网站”符合语境。故填shopping。
59.根据“Another example is when you ask about washing machines, the AI might say, ‘Book through a reliable (值得信赖的) platform like XXX,’ though many people have said bad words about that platform for years.”可知,AI可能提供评价不好的不可靠的预订网站,bad words“评价不好”符合语境。故填words。
60.根据“They think AI is neutral (中立的). They know AI can make mistakes, but they don’t think it tells lies on purpose.”可知,人们认为AI是中立的和诚实的,honest“诚实的”,作表语。故填honest。
61.根据“They forget that AI learns from the internet, which includes many ads—some clear, some hidden. …That’s why its advice might sound right but actually be useless.”可知,此处介绍了AI存在的问题和缺点,这里要填一个复数名词disadvantages“缺点”。故填disadvantages。
62.根据“It has never joined a group tour or faced pressure (压力) from a tour guide. To AI, everything is just data (数据). That’s why its advice might sound right but actually be useless.”可知,AI 没有真实的感受或生活经验,所以它可能会给出错的建议,建议:advice/suggestions。故填advice/suggestions。

①December 20, 2024 marks the 25th anniversary of Macao’s return to China.
②Macao, a beautiful city located on the southern coast of China, has a rich history dating back hundreds of years. It was an important trading port during the Ming and Qing dynasties, serving as a window for cultural exchanges between China and the West. However, it experienced colonial (殖民的) rule for over 400 years until December 20, 1999, when it officially became part of China, marking the beginning of a new era (时代) under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”.
③Macao is famous for its different and delicious food, which is a perfect blend of traditional and western flavors. Some famous dishes include Portuguese egg tarts, pork mince, and Portuguese chicken, all showing the special cooking culture of Macao.
④Known as che zai mian in Mandarin Chinese, Cart noodles (车仔面) is enjoyed by locals throughout the day. The best part of the noodle is that you can choose your noodle type, ingredients and even soup base (汤底). There are up to 30 ingredients to choose from, like beef and cheese sausages. For noodles, you can pick from thick or thin, rice or egg noodles. People with Portuguese cultural background have added Portuguese spices (香料) to give it a spicy and special taste.
⑤In addition to its delicious food, Macao is also known for its cultural heritage. The city is a melting pot (熔炉) of East and West, with a blend of Chinese and Portuguese influences in its art, buildings, and customs. Macao has many World Heritage Sites, such as the Ruins of St. Paul’s and the A-Ma Temple, which not only symbolize the city’s culture but also form an important part of Chinese culture.
⑥Over the past 25 years, Macao has changed a lot, transforming from a small city that depended on the gaming industry into a modern and wealthy city. And we believe that Macao will become better and better.

B.It has not changed much in the past 25 years.

One of Coca-Cola’s many slogans (标语) was “You can’t beat the real thing”. The company was trying to say that there were a lot of other drinks, but none of them was as good as the “real” Coke.
You may not agree. But when it comes to art, scientists in the Netherlands think it’s true—you can’t beat the real thing.
Martin de Munnik, a member of the Neurensis Research (研究) Company, did a research with other members. They invited 20 volunteers to take part in it in the Mauritshuis Museum. Researchers showed five real artworks to them. While they were looking at the artworks, a special machine recorded their brain (大脑) activities.
Then these volunteers needed to look at the pictures of the same five artworks as before. The researchers compared (比较) their brain activities when they were looking at the real artworks and the pictures. The research showed that when volunteers were looking at the real artworks, their emotional responses (情绪反应) were 10 times stronger than those when they were looking at the pictures.
The researchers said the responses were quite different. Real artworks made the brain much more excited than pictures of the same artworks did. The real art caused a strong emotional response in a part of the brain called the precuneus. This part of the brain is about feelings and memories.
Erik Scherder, a famous scientist, said the research showed the importance of museums for people of all ages. “It shows what the real artwork does for your brain when you see it closely,” he said. “Museums can make people have such rich feelings that everyone can get a lot from them.”
32.The writer uses Coca-Cola’s slogan in Paragraph 1 to ________.
A.compare different drinks
B.ask people to choose Coke
C.tell the importance of slogans
D.introduce the topic of real things
33.Which is the correct order of doing the research?
a. Volunteers enjoyed five real artworks.
b. The machine recorded the first brain activity.
c. The researchers compared volunteers’ brain activities.
d. Volunteers looked at the pictures of the same five artworks.
e. Researchers invited 20 volunteers to take part in the research.
A.a-c-b-d-e B.a-c-e-d-b C.e-a-b-d-c D.e-a-d-c-b
34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Enjoying real artworks is only helpful to children.
B.The precuneus is a part of the brain about languages.
C.Looking at real artworks can bring people rich feelings.
D.Pictures will cause stronger emotional responses than real artworks.
35.The writer introduces the research to ________.
A.ask people to do more research into art
B.advise people to enjoy artworks in museums
C.help people to record their brain activities better
D.get people to know more about famous artworks

Along with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, tea is considered one of the seven necessities for life in China. Now, it has also won global recognition (全球认可) as a shared cultural treasure of mankind.
On November 29, 2022, Chinese traditional tea processing techniques (制作技艺) and their related (相关的) social practices were added to the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. Since ancient times, Chinese people have been planting, picking, making and drinking tea.
More importantly, China’s tea culture has nurtured (培养) social practices. It is a Chinese traditional custom (习俗) that a host should welcome visiting guests with boiled tea. A poem by Song poet Du Lei reads: I offer tea, not wine, to a guest on a cold night. When water boils on the stove, fire burns with flame bright. (寒夜客来茶当酒,竹炉汤沸火初红).
Boiling tea is one of the oldest Chinese tea brewing methods (煮沏法), dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618—907). Tea leaves were boiled for a long time and sometimes they were cooked together with different kinds of herbs (草药) and fruits. During this process, people could enjoy a quiet time. Later in the Ming Dynasty (1368—1644), a faster and more convenient method became more popular-steeping (冲泡).
However, the old method is now making a comeback among Chinese young people. On the app Xiaohongshu, or Little Red Book, there are over 40, 000 posts on the topic of “stove-boiled” tea (围炉煮茶). They lightly roast (烤) tea leaves before boiling them in a teapot on a charcoal-filled (装满木炭的) stove. People sit around the stove in a natural setting and have snacks with their hot tea. Some also wear traditional hanfu as if it could take them back to those ancient times.
Through “stove-boiled” tea, people can taste a slower, pastoral-like (田园式的) life and find their inner peace. As is written in one Xiaohongshu post, “it is very relaxing to drink hot tea, feel the fall breeze (微风), and chat with best friends.”

Would you fully trust an AI tool when it gives you advice on shopping or travel? You probably shouldn’t. Sometimes, the answers it gives may hide advertisements.
For example, some people use DeepSeek-RI to make travel guides. At first, the guides seem helpful. But later, they notice strong recommendations for certain group tours at the end. These tours might come from small travel companies, and the suggested websites could be shopping sites for elderly people. Another example is when you ask about washing machines, the AI might say, “Book through a reliable (值得信赖的) platform like XXX,” though many people have said bad words about that platform for years.
The same thing happens with AI fortune-telling (占卜). Many people get advice like “Wear a red or purple bracelet (手镯) made of a certain stone for good luck.” But if you check online, almost everyone receives the same answer!
Young people might take no notice of these websites by themselves. But when an AI gives the same information, it suddenly seems more believable.
Why do people believe AI? They think AI is neutral (中立的). They know AI can make mistakes, but they don’t think it tells lies on purpose. They forget that AI learns from the internet, which includes many ads—some clear, some hidden.
People can judge information based on their own experiences. But AI has no real-life experience. It has never joined a group tour or faced pressure (压力) from a tour guide. To AI, everything is just data (数据). That’s why its advice might sound right but actually be useless.
In the internet age, always think carefully about information-especially when it doesn’t come from your own experience. Just like you wouldn’t trust a stranger too easily, don’t blindly trust AI either!
Should we trust AI completely?
