Dylan, 13 Many people worry that AI can be used as a cheating tool. But AI can be set to guide students through questions instead of giving them the answers. Nobody has to fall behind in class! And AI “teachers” can provide much support for students. Harper, 10 Kids’ brains need to be exercised to develop, just like their bodies. Homework should teach kids skills and develop their brains. AI may be a useful tool, but students should learn to solve problems on their own. And AI stops them from learning on their own. Alexa, 11 Teaching kids how to use AI can prepare them for our AI-filled future. And it’s better that students learn about AI’s limitations (局限性) now. I believe that as long as it’s done well, teaching AI in schools will change the future for the better. Ninis, 12 We shouldn’t introduce AI into schools. First, AI is getting “smarter” every day. Teachers may not know how to best use them in their classes. Second, think of the cost. Many schools wouldn’t be able to buy it, and that’s not fair to some students.

To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues(美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li. Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to other”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated). While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as “duty” or even “respect”. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors. While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us. Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 9. Which are the most important of the Five Constants? A. Ren and yi. B. Ren and li. C. Li and xin. 10. What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. 博学于文，约之以礼。 B. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。 C. 己所不欲，勿施于人。 11. Which of the following is an example of li? A. Building a peaceful society. B. Taking care of one’s children. C. Following rules for drinking tea. 12. What does the passage mainly tell us about Confucianism? A. Its general virtues. B. Its long history. C. Its new challenges. 【答案】9. B 10. C 11. C 12. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了儒家思想。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues(美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li.”可知，最重要的是仁和礼。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to other”可知，不要把自己不喜欢的事强加给别人，即己所不欲，勿施于人。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors.”可知，关于礼的讨论包括正确的喝茶方式。故选C。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants(五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin.”及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了儒家思想中的“仁”“礼”和“孝”，即儒家思想中的美德。故选A。 Around 1,200 tons of dead fish, mostly sardines (沙丁鱼) were discovered on a beach in Hakodate, an island in northern Japan on Dec 7, 2023. Tons of dead sardines were collected by local fishermen. About a week later, in Nakiri, a town hundreds of miles away from Hokkaido, 30～40 tons of dead sardines washed up on its coast. “The cause is unknown at the moment,” Mikine Fujiwara, a fisheries official in Japan, told Mainichi Shimbun Daily, “but we plan to check the seawater to uncover it.” He also advised local fishers not to consume the dead fish, “We don’t know for sure why these fish washed up. They may be harmful to human health.” According to scientists at the Hokkaido Research Organization, the die-offs could be caused by many things, like sudden changes in water temperature, the shortage of oxygen (氧气) or tiredness after long-time moving. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” a fisherman who has been working in the area for 25 years said, “I just can’t believe the huge number of the dead fish. It happened just three months after nuclear (核) polluted-water was poured into the sea. It makes me feel that the sea ecosystem is changing.” Generally, it is difficult to find out the reasons behind the die-offs. Perhaps the natural world is using the die-offs to remind human to love the earth and keep the balance of nature. 13. What’s the purpose of the numbers in the first and second paragraphs? A. Giving an example. B. Leading to the topic. C. Describing the situation. 14. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “consume” in paragraph 3? A. use up energy or time B. eat or drink something C. fill someone with a strong feeling 15. What might cause the death of fish according to the fisherman? A. The long-time moving. B. The shortage of oxygen. C. The polluted sea environment. 16. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A. B. C. 【答案】13. C 14. B 15. C 16. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了2023年12月日本的海滩上发现大量死鱼的情况, 并探讨了鱼类可能死亡的原因。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章一二段以及第三段“‘The cause is unknown at the moment...but we plan to check the seawater to uncover it. ’”可知，原文开篇直接用具体数字，并涉及具体时间和地点，详细陈述“大量死鱼出现”的具体事实，后续分析成因，是在描述完事件情况的基础上，再进一步探讨，选项C“描述情况”符合语境。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“He also advised local fishers not to consume the dead fish,‘We don’t know for sure why these fish washed up. They may be harmful to human health.’”可知，因为这些鱼可能对身体有害，所以不建议渔民食用。所以这里的consume意为“食用”，对应B选项。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“a fisherman...said, ‘I just can’t believe the huge number of the dead fish. It happened just three months after nuclear polluted-water was poured into the sea. It makes me feel that the sea ecosystem is changing.’”可知，渔民觉得鱼死亡的原因是核污染的废水被排入了大海，海洋生态系统发生了变化，对应C选项。故选C。 【16题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知, 第一二段主要描述了鱼类死亡的情况；第三四五段探讨了鱼类死亡的原因；第六段总结全文。故选A。 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 You must have heard of the term neo-Chinese style, but do you know what exactly it is? ____17____ Neo-Chinese style has become popular among young people who like to include traditional Chinese elements (要素) into their daily wear. ____18____ In the neo-Chinese style, designers use traditional ornament (装饰) like Chinese frog buttons and wrap fronts in everyday clothing.

As a business traveler, it might be necessary to give a gift to a customer from another culture. With a history of thousands of years, China’s etiquette has formed and been passed down generation by generation. In China, gifts are usually given to show respect, appreciation (感激) and build relationships. In both giving and receiving gifts, you should know what you are supposed to do in China. Here are some tips for you. First, there are many occasions when gifts are given in China, such as weddings, birthdays, festivals, and business meetings. When giving a gift, it is the most important to consider the receiver’s relationship with the giver. Second, when a gift is offered, the giver usually uses two hands when offering a gift to another person. The receiver may accept the gift with appreciation. After receiving a gift, he or she will open it later to avoid appearing greedy (贪婪的) or impatient. Another tip for gift-giving relates to wrapping (包装) gifts, especially in choosing the color of paper used to wrap. In China, for example, white is not a good choice. Because in Chinese culture, white is the unlucky color. White and black are also to be avoided when wrapping gifts in China, because of the relation of these colors to funerals (葬礼). Joyful colors such as red, yellow, and pink are commonly used in Chinese culture. Last but not least, for Chinese people, it is necessary to notice that you are supposed to send a gift in return. When you receive a gift, you will offer back to the one when it is suitable. This is called “Li Shang Wang Lai”. The customary reciprocity (互惠) is also considered a traditional way to build and maintain (保持) relationships. 41. How long has China’s etiquette been formed and passed down? _____________________________________________ 42. How many tips for giving and receiving gifts are there in this passage? _____________________________________________ 43. According to the passage, can the receiver open the gift at once? Why or why not? _____________________________________________ 44. Which colors aren’t used for wrapping a gift in China? _____________________________________________ 45. What other Chinese etiquette do you know? Please write down at least one. _____________________________________________ 【答案】41. For thousands of years. 42. Four. 43. No, he/she can’t. Because it will make him/her appear greedy or impatient. 44. White and black. 45. Don’t tap bowls and plates with chopsticks when eating. 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国送礼与收礼的礼节，包括送礼的场合、双手递送礼物的习惯、避免使用白色和黑色的包装纸，以及回赠礼物的传统。 【41题详解】 根据“With a history of thousands of years, China’s etiquette has formed and been passed down generation by generation.”可知，经过几千年的历史，中国的礼仪已经形成并代代相传。由此可知，中国的礼节有着几千年的历史，代代相传。故填For thousands of years. 【42题详解】 根据“Here are some tips for you.”可知，这里有一些建议给你。根据“First…”、“Second…”、“Another tip for gift…”和“Last but not least…”可知，本文给出了四个关于送礼和收礼的建议。故填Four. 【43题详解】 根据“After receiving a gift, then he or she will open it later to avoid appearing greedy (贪婪的) or impatient.”可知，收到礼物后，他或她会稍后打开它，以避免显得贪婪或不耐烦。由此可知， 收礼人不会立刻打开礼物，以避免显得贪婪或不耐烦。故填No, he/she can’t. Because it will make him/her appear greedy or impatient. 【44题详解】 根据“In China, for example, white is not a good choice. Because in Chinese culture, white is the unlucky color. White and black are also to be avoided when wrapping gifts in China, because of the relation of these colors to funerals (葬礼).”可知，例如，在中国，白色就不是一个好的选择。因为在中国文化中，白色是不吉利的颜色。在中国，包装礼物时也要避免白色和黑色，因为这两种颜色与葬礼有关。由此可知，在中国，白色和黑色不用来包装礼物。故填White and black. 【45题详解】 开放性问题。根据生活常识，可以回答“吃饭时不用筷子敲碗碟”这一餐桌礼仪。故填Don’t tap bowls and plates with chopsticks when eating. 五、补全对话 阅读下面对话, 在每个空白处填入一个适当的句子, 使对话完整, 合乎情境。 Bob: Hi, Mary.

Dylan, 13 Many people worry that AI can be used as a cheating tool. But AI can be set to guide students through questions instead of giving them the answers. Nobody has to fall behind in class! And AI “teachers” can provide much support for students. Harper, 10 Kids’ brains need to be exercised to develop, just like their bodies. Homework should teach kids skills and develop their brains. AI may be a useful tool, but students should learn to solve problems on their own. And AI stops them from learning on their own.

To help people understand how to behave towards others, Confucianism teaches the Five Constants (五常). These are ren, yi, li, zhi and xin. They are general virtues(美德) around the world. The most important two are ren and li. Ren is the feeling of care and love we should have for others. Confucius explained ren could best be understood as loving others. He is famous for teaching people “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to other”. It is quite similar to what is known in the West as the Golden Rule (treat others as you wish to be treated). While the meaning of ren is easy to understand, li is a little harder to express. It can be thought of as “duty” or even “respect”. Generally, li is the way we should connect with people in our everyday life. In Confucian writings, discussions about li include the proper way to drink tea and how to remember ancestors. While ren is mostly about our opinions and feelings, li is about how we express our opinions and feelings towards others and towards the world around us. Perhaps the most well-known Confucian virtue is xiao. This is the duty children have to their parents. Xiao means loving, respecting, obeying and taking care of one’s parents in their old age. In Confucianism, xiao is important for a harmonious (和谐的) society: Without it, the whole world would fall into a mess. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 9. Which are the most important of the Five Constants? A. Ren and yi. B. Ren and li. C. Li and xin. 10. What is the best Chinese for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. 博学于文，约之以礼。 B. 学而不思则罔，思而不学则殆。 C. 己所不欲，勿施于人。 11. Which of the following is an example of li? A. Building a peaceful society. B. Taking care of one’s children. C Following rules for drinking tea. 12. What does the passage mainly tell us about Confucianism? A. Its general virtues. B. Its long history. C. Its new challenges. Around 1,200 tons of dead fish, mostly sardines (沙丁鱼) were discovered on a beach in Hakodate, an island in northern Japan on Dec 7, 2023. Tons of dead sardines were collected by local fishermen. About a week later, in Nakiri, a town hundreds of miles away from Hokkaido, 30～40 tons of dead sardines washed up on its coast. “The cause is unknown at the moment,” Mikine Fujiwara, a fisheries official in Japan, told Mainichi Shimbun Daily, “but we plan to check the seawater to uncover it.” He also advised local fishers not to consume the dead fish, “We don’t know for sure why these fish washed up. They may be harmful to human health.” According to scientists at the Hokkaido Research Organization, the die-offs could be caused by many things, like sudden changes in water temperature, the shortage of oxygen (氧气) or tiredness after long-time moving. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” a fisherman who has been working in the area for 25 years said, “I just can’t believe the huge number of the dead fish. It happened just three months after nuclear (核) polluted-water was poured into the sea. It makes me feel that the sea ecosystem is changing.” Generally, it is difficult to find out the reasons behind the die-offs. Perhaps the natural world is using the die-offs to remind human to love the earth and keep the balance of nature. 13. What’s the purpose of the numbers in the first and second paragraphs? A. Giving an example. B. Leading to the topic. C. Describing the situation. 14 What’s the meaning of the underlined word “consume” in paragraph 3? A. use up energy or time B. eat or drink something C. fill someone with a strong feeling 15. What might cause the death of fish according to the fisherman? A. The long-time moving. B. The shortage of oxygen. C. The polluted sea environment. 16 Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (P=Paragraph) A. B. C. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 You must have heard of the term neo-Chinese style, but do you know what exactly it is? ____17____ Neo-Chinese style has become popular among young people who like to include traditional Chinese elements (要素) into their daily wear. ____18____ In the neo-Chinese style, designers use traditional ornament (装饰) like Chinese frog buttons and wrap fronts in everyday clothing.

As a business traveler, it might be necessary to give a gift to a customer from another culture. With a history of thousands of years, China’s etiquette has formed and been passed down generation by generation. In China, gifts are usually given to show respect, appreciation (感激) and build relationships. In both giving and receiving gifts, you should know what you are supposed to do in China. Here are some tips for you. First, there are many occasions when gifts are given in China, such as weddings, birthdays, festivals, and business meetings. When giving a gift, it is the most important to consider the receiver’s relationship with the giver. Second, when a gift is offered, the giver usually uses two hands when offering a gift to another person. The receiver may accept the gift with appreciation. After receiving a gift, he or she will open it later to avoid appearing greedy (贪婪的) or impatient. Another tip for gift-giving relates to wrapping (包装) gifts, especially in choosing the color of paper used to wrap. In China, for example, white is not a good choice. Because in Chinese culture, white is the unlucky color. White and black are also to be avoided when wrapping gifts in China, because of the relation of these colors to funerals (葬礼). Joyful colors such as red, yellow, and pink are commonly used in Chinese culture. Last but not least, for Chinese people, it is necessary to notice that you are supposed to send a gift in return. When you receive a gift, you will offer back to the one when it is suitable. This is called “Li Shang Wang Lai”. The customary reciprocity (互惠) is also considered a traditional way to build and maintain (保持) relationships. 41.

How many tips for giving and receiving gifts are there in this passage? _____________________________________________ 43. According to the passage, can the receiver open the gift at once?
