Having proper table manners is one way people judge others, and we don’t want people to think that we are rude, do we? Whether in a restaurant or at home, here are some basic table manners for kids: ①Eat with a fork unless the food is meant to be eaten with fingers. Only babies eat with their fingers all the time. ②Sit up straight and do not hunch over your plate. You can rest your wrists or forearms on the table, or place your hands on your lap. ③Chew with your mouth closed. No one wants to see food being chewed. Also, do not talk with your mouth full. ④Do not make rude comments about any food being served. It may hurt someone’s feelings. Always say thank you when you are served something. ⑤Eat slowly. It takes a long time to prepare food, so enjoy it slowly. Wait a few seconds after swallowing before taking another bite. ⑥Do not reach over someone’s plate for something. Instead, politely ask for the dish to be passed to you. ⑦When eating at someone’s home or as a guest in a restaurant, always thank the host and tell them how much you enjoyed the meal. For example, you can say the dessert was great. 21. What does the underlined phrase “hunch over” most likely mean? A. Sit up straight. B. Stand up quickly. C. Bend your back forward. 22. If someone talks with a full mouth at the table, how might the author feel? A. Pleased. B. Displeased. C. Indifferent. 23. Why shouldn’t we make rude comments about food? A. Because it is a waste of food. B. Because it will make the food taste bad. C. Because it might hurt the feelings of the person who carefully prepared it. 24. Why should we eat slowly at the table? A. To keep healthy. B. To eat more food. C. To show how much we enjoy the food. 25. What can we learn from the passage? A. We can use our fingers to eat all the time. B. People sometimes can judge others by table manners. C. Guests should express thanks to the host after the meal. B In the past, strict policies generally stopped pets from accompanying their owners on railway journeys in China. However, China Railway Express (中铁快运) had introduced an innovative pet service, marking a significant change. From April 8, 2025, pets were allowed to travel on the same train as their owners, reflecting a more modern and considerate way to passengers’ needs. This service allows pets to travel on the same train as their owners. To use it, owners must complete their ticket requests through the 12306 app at least two days earlier. Healthy cats and dogs under 15 kg in weight and 40 cm in shoulder height can enjoy the service. Owners also need to show a paper from a pet doctor that says the pet is healthy. On the train, pets stay in special boxes in a separate area. Train workers provide them food and water, but owners cannot go to see them or feed them. Right now, this service is only on 10 trains that go to five stations: Beijing South, Jinan West, Nanjing South, Shanghai Hongqiao, and Hangzhou East. Many pet owners are happy but also a little worried. Qin Peixuan, one of the pet owners, thinks the boxes are so small that it’s uncomfortable for pets to stay in. She also worries that dogs’ barking might make the cats feel afraid. Even though there are some problems and the service needs improvement, this new service shows that trains are trying to be more caring. 26. What’s the main reason for the new pet train service? A. To make more money for the railway company. B. To follow new international safety laws. C. To show a more modern and caring attitude. 27. Which of the following is allowed in the new train service? A. Owners book tickets three days earlier. B. Owners bring a 5-kg and 20-cm-tall duck. C. Owners bring pets who get sick. 28. Which stations are mentioned in the service? A. Jinan West, Hangzhou South. B. Beijing South, Nanning South. C. Beijing South, Shanghai Hongqiao. 29. According to Qin Peixuan, what is one of her worries? A. These pet boxes are too small to stay in. B. Pets don’t like the food from train workers. C. Loud noises from dogs might scare the cats. 30. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Improving Travel Experience for Pet Owners. B. A New Pet-Friendly Train Service. C. New Rules for Taking Boxes on Trains C This decade has seen incredible advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is now a big part of our daily lives, leaving many people excited, while others feel worried. From education to delivery, almost no industry has been left unchanged by AI. Students can practice English by talking with AI, and creating a video can now be as simple as typing a few sentences. However, AI is surely a double-edged sword. While it brings great convenience and helps us work faster, it also has downsides. It could widen the gap between the rich and the poor, making powerful organizations stronger. Many repetitive jobs are now done by robots, which makes it harder for low-skilled workers who depend on those jobs to make a living. Even a powerful tech leader like Elon Musk wanted to pause more powerful AI, but he couldn’t stop its progress. So, will AI turn out to be humanity’s greatest invention, or will it become a future nightmare? Perhaps our grandchildren will be the ones who find out the answer. Beyond this, AI is also creating new tools in healthcare, transportation, and entertainment. It helps doctors analyze medical images and powers self-driving cars. Yet, it also raises serious questions about data privacy and the future of work. The future depends on the decisions we make today. 31. How can students use AI? A. To make videos quickly. B. To deliver packages. C. To change any industry. 32. Which of the following picture can best describe “a repetitive job”? A. B. C. 33. What did Elon Musk want to do about powerful AI? A. Stop its development for a while. B. Make it even more powerful. C. Let grandchildren answer questions about it. 34. What can we infer from the passage about the future of AI? A. Its development is certain to create more problems than it solves. B. Its advantages are widely recognized though it has risks. C. Its progress can be easily controlled by human decisions. 35. Why did the author write this passage? A. To introduce the latest AI products from a company. B. To encourage people to think carefully about AI’s future. C. To tell a story about Elon Musk and AI.

There are about 45,000 m² of murals like that there. Without doubt, the beauty of Dunhuang and the Mogao Grottoes should be seen by the whole world. However, the question has always been how to show the thousand-year-old treasures to more people but still protect them at the same time. That’s where the “Digital Dunhuang (数字敦煌)” project (工程) came from. The project was put forward around 1990 by Fan Jinshi, the “Daughter of Dunhuang”. She hoped to use digital technology to store the cultural treasures of the grottoes clearly and correctly. The Digital Center was set up in 2006 and a professional team was built. After eight years, digital images were used to make an 8K movie. By 2022, digital data (数据) of 278 grottoes had been collected. The Mogao Grottoes Digital Exhibition Center, which is 16 km from the real site, is an important part of the project. Covering an area of about 100,000 m², it was opened to the public in 2014. It was built to help people have a better understanding of the Mogao Grottoes before paying a visit to the real grottoes. For example, people can enjoy some movies about murals created with the help of digital data in the center. The new form results in a win-win situation between the protection of murals and the development of tourism. The Mogao Grottoes are not just old walls with paintings—they are windows to the great art. With the help of digital tools, these amazing murals are being protected well. This way, more people can enjoy these beautiful stories and learn about ancient times in the future.

His life was full of achievements in physics and love for the motherland. His story can encourage junior three students like you. Yang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1922. At a young age, he showed great interest in science. During the war years, he moved with his family to many places and finally got into Southwest Associated University. There was a shortage of books and lab tools. This experience taught him to work hard even when conditions were poor. In 1942, he graduated from the Department of Physics at Southwest Associated University. After that, he went to the United States for further study and got his doctor’s degree. In 1956, Yang, together with Tsung-Dao Lee, put forward a very important idea. It changed the way people thought about physics. It was a big surprise. Scientists were shocked at first and some even didn’t believe it. For it, Yang and Lee won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957. Another important thing Yang did was developing the Yang-Mills gauge theory (杨-米尔斯理论) with R. L. Mills in 1954. It became the base for the development of particle physics (粒子物理学) later on. Even though Yang lived abroad for a long time, he always cared about his homeland, China. After the improvement of China-US relations in 1971, he was among the first overseas scholars (学者) to visit China. He gave talks in many American universities to tell people about China. His actions encouraged more scholars to come back and work for their country. Since 1999, he had worked as a professor at Tsinghua University. Even in his eighties, he still taught students and tried his best to train new physics talents. Chen-Ning Yang’s life was like a circle. It started in China, then he went to the world stage, and finally, he returned to his homeland. His spirit of always looking for knowledge and his love for his country will inspire us all. 56.

It’s my great honor to give a speech here. Let’s focus on giant pandas. They have fluffy black-and-white fur and cute round faces. They feed on bamboo 12 hours a day and like napping in tree hollows. Also, they can climb trees fast to escape threats. Sadly, pandas are endangered. Their habitats are shrinking, and bamboo is becoming scarce. To help them, we need to set up more reserves and protect bamboo forests and stop illegal hunting. Let’s protect these lovely creatures together! That’s all. Thank you! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
