Many of us end up having too much without knowing it. Saturated fat is often added into drinks to improve their “mouth-feel”. But having too much of both sugar and saturated fat can make you get diabetes(糖尿病) easily. Too much sugar can also lead to obesity(肥胖). Nutri-Grade “grades” your drinks based on their sugar and saturated fat levels. Think of this as a score. Drinks graded “A” have the lowest sugar and saturated fat content, while drinks graded “D” have the highest. Look at the Nutri-Grade label(标签) on the drinks, which is based on sugar and saturated fat levels. To control your sugar and saturated fat intake, drink less Nutri-Grade C and D drinks and go for healthier choices or Nutri- Grade A or B drinks or simply choose water. ( ) 1. According to the passage, too much sugar may lead to _______. A. low stress (压力) B. obesity C. heart disease D. bad tastes ( ) 2. What is the usual sugar level (含糖量) in the Nutri-Grade C drink? A. <1 g/100 ml. B. 1—5 g/100 ml. C. 5—10 g/100 ml. D. >10 g/100 ml. ( ) 3. Which label can probably be put on the drink on the right? B篇 In today’s digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere. Among different AI tools, Doubao, Kimi, DeepSeek and Tongyi Qianwen are quite popular among students. Let’s take a look at how they are different. Doubao Doubao is great for language learning. It can explain grammar points clearly, just like a patient English teacher. For example, when you can’t understand the present perfect tense clearly, Doubao can provide many examples and simple explanations (解释). It also helps with writing by checking grammar mistakes and giving tips. Kimi Kimi, on the other hand, pays more attention to creative ideas. If you are writing a story or a poem for English homework, Kimi can offer interesting plots (情节) and themes, which is useful for students who want to make their writing excellent. DeepSeek DeepSeek is powerful in learning facts. It has much information in different fields. When you are working on a history project or a science report in English, DeepSeek can quickly provide you with supported information and facts. If you come across something complex, DeepSeek can break it down into clear parts so that you can better order your thoughts. 通义千问 Tongyi Qianwen is really helpful for making pictures and shortening long texts. If you need pictures for a school project, just tell it what you want and it will make great pictures. Also, if you have a long reading for homework and don’t want to read it all, it can quickly tell you the main ideas. I t makes study easier and faster. Different tools have different uses. Students can choose an AI tool that is fit for them according to their different learning needs. ( ) 1. Which AI tool is described as being similar to a patient English teacher? A. Doubao. B. Kimi. C. DeepSeek. D. Tongyi Qianwen. ( ) 2. If a student wants to write a creative story with pictures, which AI tools will you advise him to choose according to the passage? A. Doubao & Kimi B.

C篇 It’s a usual scene in movies and cartoons. A man is walking in a desert, looking for water. Up ahead, he sees a land with water. But there is no land —no water at all, not even a small pool. It is just a mirage (海市蜃楼). How does a mirage happen? The light and air play with our eyes. Normally, light travels in a straight line as a rule, but it can bend and change directions depending on what it passes through. This bending is called “refraction(折射)”. If different layers of air(大气层) are at different temperatures, light will bend at different angles(角度) when passing through them. This can create a false image of things around. Mirages can be seen not only over water, but also on surfaces that can take in a lot of heat, for example, on hot roads. The next time you think you see a pool of water on the road on a hot summer day, you will know it’s just a mirage —an image of the sky caused by bending light. The mirage is the magic of nature. When you see it next time, just take a photo and enjoy the beautiful moment. ( ) 1. In Paragraph 1, the writer uses the scene to _____. A. share the experience in a desert B. introduce what a mirage is C. show when a mirage happens D. introduce a movie ( ) 2. How does light travel normally? ( ) 3. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Air layers. B. Angles. C. Temperatures. D. Lights. ( ) 4. In which part of a magazine can you probably read the text? A. Crazy Animals. B. Modern Art. C. Amazing Nature. D. Culture. D篇 For thousands of years, humans have explored the Earth. Nowadays, we are exploring space. Astronomers (天文学家) are the modern-day explorers. Now, many astronomers are looking for new planets and new places for humans to live in the future. But where do astronomers start exploring? First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth moves around a star—the Sun. More importantly, it is neither too far from nor too near to the Sun for heat and light. So when astronomers have found the star, they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars. However, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far away. However, if the planet is in a good place, astronomers look for three key things: water, air and rocks. Water is the most important because all life needs water. Humans can drink it and they can also grow plants with water. And plants produce air for humans to breathe and food to eat. Rocks on a planet are also important. That’s because there is often water under rocks. After many years of exploring, astronomers have found a planet like the Earth. It’s Gliese 581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water and rocks and the temperature is between -31℃ and -12 ℃ . That’s cold, but not colder than Antarctica or the Arctic Circle. Gliese 581g is bigger than the Earth. A year on Gliese 581g is only 37 Earth days, not 365 Earth days. But astronomers do not think these are big differences and some of them think Gliese 581g will be a new Earth. However, Gliese 581g is twenty light years from the Earth. ( )1. How do astronomers discover a new planet for humans to live on? a. Astronomers look for three key things. b. Astronomers look for and find a right star. c. Astronomers look at the planets around the star. A. a-b-c. B. b-a-c. C. b-c-a. D. c-a-b. ( ) 2. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following things is the most important? A. Water. B. Air. C. Rocks. D. Food. ( ) 3. How many years on Gliese 581g are equal (相等的) to one Earth year? A. About 37. B. About 365. C. About 10. D. About 15. ( ) 4. What is the text mainly about? A. Gliese 581g is already a new Earth. B. There are some planets like our Earth. C. Water, air and rocks are important. D. Astronomers are looking for a new Earth. 三、任务型阅读。 Volunteering in your neighborhood gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel happy that you are volunteering your time.
