Many people use it for work, study and entertainment. But do you know how the Internet was invented? The Internet was first developed in the 1960s by the US Department of Defense. At that time, it was called ARPANET. It was designed to connect computers at different universities and research centers. The goal was to share information and keep communication possible even if part of the network was destroyed. In the 1970s, scientists developed a way to send data between different networks. This was called TCP/IP. It became the standard for how data is sent over the Internet. In the 1990s, the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee. This made it easier for people to use the Internet. They could use browsers to view web pages with pictures and text. Today, the Internet connects billions of devices around the world. We can do almost anything online—shop, study, work, communicate and more. The Internet has changed the way we live and work. 1．When was the Internet first developed? A．In the 1950s. B．In the 1960s.

Today, it’s around us every day, quietly changing how we live, study and work—just like the new technologies we learned about in our science class. Let’s start with daily life. Have you ever asked a smart speaker to play your favorite song? Or used an app that recommends delicious snacks based on what you’ve ordered before? That’s AI at work! Even the navigation app your parents use to drive you to school uses AI. It checks real-time traffic and finds the fastest way, so you never have to worry about being late for class. In school, AI is becoming a helpful study partner. Many of our textbooks now have AI learning tools. For example, if you’re struggling with English listening, the AI tool can pick out your weak points and give you special practice. Some schools also have AI teaching assistants. They can answer your questions about math formulas or history facts even after class, just like a friend who’s good at all subjects. AI is also doing great things in hospitals. Doctors use AI to look at X-ray and CT pictures. AI can find small problems that are hard for humans to see, helping sick people get better faster. Some AI systems can even tell people if they might get certain diseases early, so they can take care of their health before it’s too late. Of course, AI isn’t perfect. Some people worry that AI might take over some jobs in the future. But our textbook says that new technologies always bring new jobs too. If we learn new skills, we can work with AI instead of worrying about it. All in all, AI is making our world a better place. As long as we use it in the right way, it will keep helping us grow and learn— just like the useful tools we use in our daily study. 1．What can a smart speaker do with AI? A．Drive a car to school. B．Play favorite songs. C．Do math homework. D．Take X-ray pictures. 2．How does AI help with navigation? A．It makes snacks for drivers. B．It checks real-time traffic. C．It teaches English listening. D．It answers history questions. 3．Why is AI a helpful study partner? A．It can replace teachers in class. B．It finds students’ weak points for practice. C．It writes textbooks for schools. D．It plays games with students after class. 4．What cannot AI do in hospitals? A．Find small problems in medical pictures. B．Tell people if they might get certain diseases early. C．Cure all kinds of diseases. D．Look at X-ray and CT pictures. 5．What do some people worry about AI? A．It will make textbooks useless. B．It will take over some jobs. C．It will stop working after class. D．It will make navigation apps wrong. 6．What does the writer think of AI? A．It is useless for students. B．It is perfect and has no problems. C．It is helpful if used properly. D．It will take all jobs from humans. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．B 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能（AI）如何改变我们的生活、学习和工作方式，并举例说明了AI在日常生活中的应用、教育中的辅助作用、医疗领域的贡献，同时也提到了人们对AI的担忧以及作者对AI的积极看法。 1．细节理解题。根据“Have you ever asked a smart speaker to play your favorite song?”可知，智能音箱可以通过AI播放用户喜欢的歌曲。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“It checks real-time traffic and finds the fastest way”可知，AI导航通过实时交通检查来规划最快路线。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“the AI tool can pick out your weak points and give you special practice”可知，AI能识别学生的薄弱点并提供针对性练习。故选B。 4．细节理解题。根据“Doctors use AI to look at X-ray and CT pictures.

While traditional stores (like markets and supermarkets) and online shops both sell products, they offer very different experiences for different needs. Comparing and Contrasting: Both provide daily things like food, clothes, and electronic devices. Prices are shown clearly. High-quality products are available in both places, but it is essential to check customer reviews when shopping online to avoid unsatisfactory purchases. Feature Traditional Shopping Online Shopping Atmosphere It provides a tangible experience—you can touch, smell, and try on products personally before making a purchase decision. It offers a virtual experience—you can browse products comfortably at home, but you cannot physically touch or smell the items. Convenience You have to visit the store in person and abide by its opening hours, which may be inconvenient for busy people. It enables you to shop at anytime and from any location, as online stores operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Payment Multiple payment methods are accepted at the checkout, including cash, bank cards, and mobile payment apps. You mainly rely on digital payments, such as credit cards, e-wallets, and installment payment services. Delivery You can take your purchased items home immediately after payment, with no need to wait for delivery. You have to wait for the goods to be delivered, and the delivery time usually ranges from a few hours to several days. Customer Service You can communicate face-to-face with shop assistants to get professional help and practical advice. You can seek assistance through chatbots, emails, or phone calls, but there is no face-to-face interaction. Mrs. Lin, a 65-year-old woman, says: “I prefer traditional markets because I enjoy chatting with sellers and seeing products with my own eyes. Online shopping lacks the personal touch that I value.” Tom, a 16-year-old student, holds a different opinion: “I am fond of online shopping! It saves me a lot of time, and I can easily compare prices across different platforms. Besides, the delivery service sends the goods directly to my door.” Which type of shopping is better? It depends on your personal needs—whether you value face-to-face communication and the real experience of traditional shopping, or the convenience and efficiency of online shopping. 1．What is an advantage of traditional shopping in terms of atmosphere? A．You can shop at home comfortably. B．You can touch and try products before buying. C．You don’t need to talk to anyone. D．You can browse products at any time. 2．Why might busy people prefer online shopping? A．It requires going to the store in person. B．It has fixed opening hours. C．It allows shopping anytime and anywhere. D．It needs cash payment. 3．What payment method is NOT mentioned for online shopping? A．Cash. B．Credit card. C．Installment payment. D．E-wallet. 4．According to Mrs. Lin, which reason matches her preference? A．Shopping without leaving home. B．Getting items immediately after payment. C．Having face-to-face communication with the staff. D．Being able to compare prices easily. 5．Based on the passage, which statement is TRUE? A．Traditional shopping is disappearing. B．Online shopping is better for everyone. C．The shopping choice varies according to individual needs. D．Young people never go to traditional markets. 6．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Shop Safely Online B．Why Online Shopping is Better C．Traditional Shopping VS. Online Shopping D．The Role of Traditional Markets in the Digital Age 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．C 6．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，对比了传统购物与线上购物的不同特点（氛围、便利性等），并说明购物选择取决于个人需求。 1．细节理解题。根据文章表格“Atmosphere”部分“Traditional Shopping: It provides a tangible experience—you can touch, smell, and try on products personally before making a purchase decision.”可知，传统购物在氛围上的优势是能触摸、试穿商品。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章表格“Convenience”部分“Online Shopping: It enables you to shop at anytime and from any location...”可知，忙碌的人偏好线上购物是因为它能随时随地进行。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章表格“Payment”部分“Online Shopping: You mainly rely on digital payments, such as credit cards, e-wallets...”可知，现金未被提及。故选A。 4．细节理解题。根据文章“Mrs. Lin... says: ‘I prefer traditional markets because I enjoy chatting with sellers and seeing products with my own eyes.”可知，她的偏好是与店员面对面交流。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It depends on your personal needs—whether you value... traditional shopping, or the convenience... of online shopping.”可知，购物选择因个人需求而异。故选C。 6．最佳标题题。文章围绕“传统购物与线上购物的对比”展开，“Traditional Shopping VS. Online Shopping”最能概括主题。故选C。 Ever feel lost with numbers? The right graph can help! It makes data clear. Let’s look at the four most common graph types: Pie Chart It’s good for showing a certain part of a whole and the proportion (比例) of each part. A pie chart enables you to plan your pocket money wisely: for snacks, books, and savings. Line Graph An excellent choice if you want to describe how something changes over time. It is also good for showing big differences. Many teachers prefer using a line graph to track students’ grades. Colorful Bar Graph A colorful bar graph can also show changes over time. However, it’s more direct to make comparisons between two or more things. That’s why we can use it to compare the popularity of different school clubs among your classmates. Venn Diagram A Venn Diagram features two overlapping circles. It’s perfect for sorting information. You can use a Venn Diagram to sort plants, for example. Plants with green leaves go on the left. Plants with flowers go on the right. Plants with both go in the middle where the circles overlap. Venn Diagram 1．Where can we probably find the passage? A．In a historical novel. B．In a maths textbook. C．In a sports newspaper. D．In a tour guide. 2．If you want to show how something changes over time and big differences, which graph would be a good choice?

So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries (行业). Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience (便利). However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Dr. Justin said. According to him, we have made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials (材料) around us,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us, “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words, “she said. For example, right now, to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 1．Where are these researchers’ predictions from? A．From a picture book. B．From a video series. C．From a radio report. D．From a science magazine. 2．Which of the following would be possible according to Justin? A．Seeing robots in every industry. B．Letting computers control all machines. C．Using thoughts to control the environment. D．Getting to work by self-driving or flying car. 3．In Stefanie’s imagination, future buildings will be _______. A．safer B．larger C．reusable D．amazing 4．Why does the writer give an example in the last paragraph? A．To explain Pam’s idea. B．To describe an achievement. C．To show the importance of AI. D．To interest readers in future life. 5．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To encourage us to look into the future. B．To share some predictions about the future. C．To introduce some famous experts in science. D．To show the importance of developing technology. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了在名为《走向未来》的视频系列中，三位研究人员对2045年的世界做出的预测，包括思维控制环境、新型材料建造建筑、人与机器的新型互动关系等内容。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045.”可知，这些研究人员的预测来自一个名为《走向未来》的视频系列。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. ‘Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,’ Dr. Justin said.”可知，Justin Sanchez博士认为，我们将会达到一个仅凭意念就能控制事物的阶段。“想象一个你可以只用思维就能控制周围环境的世界，” Justin博士说。由此可知，Justin认为人们未来可以用思维控制环境。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据文章第4段“‘We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials (材料) around us,’ she predicted.”可知，她预测：“我们将能够建造出非常坚固但又轻便的东西，我们甚至还不了解身边的一些材料。”因此可推知，这样的建筑是令人惊叹的。故选D。 4．篇章结构题。根据文章第5段“Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us... For example, right now, to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order.”可知，Pam Melroy认为，我们将会发现自己与周围的机器有着截然不同的关系。例如，现在要安全降落一架飞机，飞行员必须按正确顺序完成许多步骤。因此，作者举飞行员驾驶飞机的例子是为了解释Pam Melroy的观点——未来人与机器会有不同的互动关系，人们可以通过简单指令控制机器。故选A。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇引出2045年世界将发生巨大变化，随后介绍了三位研究人员对2045年的具体预测，本文的目的是分享对未来的一些预测。故选B。 Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets (火箭) also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 1．What’s the meaning of the word “shapes” in Chinese? A．面积 B．形状 C．情况 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)? A．There will be more robots in the future. B．There will be more cities in the future. C．There will be more pollution in the future. 3．What kind of robots can help to look for people under the buildings? A．Robots that look like humans. B．Robots that look like dogs. C．Robots that look like snakes. 4．What’s the second paragraph mainly about? A．How Japanese robots walk and dance for fun. B．Scientists’ different ideas on whether (是否) robots can think and talk like humans. C．Robots can talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot? B．Robots Will Take the Places of People C．Scientists Influence People 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了机器人的发展、功能以及科学家们对机器人的不同看法。 1．词句猜测题。根据“These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals.”可知，这些新型机器人将拥有多种不同的形状。有些会像人类，而另一些则可能像动物。这里“shapes”意为“形状”。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.”可知，一些科学家认为，未来会有更多的机器人，并且这可能需要数百年的时间。这里“it”是指前一句中的“there will be more robots in the future”。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据“In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings.”可知，看起来像蛇的机器人可以帮助寻找建筑物下面的人。故选C。   4．主旨大意题。根据“Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.”和“However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human.”以及全段可知，第二段主要是关于科学家们对于机器人能否像人类一样思考和交谈持有不同看法。故选B。 5．最佳标题题。根据全文可知，本文主要介绍了机器人的发展、功能以及科学家们对机器人的不同看法。故选A。 ① A recent online post on Shenzhen’s public restrooms by a woman surnamed Wang, who returned to her hometown for the Spring Festival holiday, has gained a warm reply by netizens and got a discussion of what people miss the most about Shenzhen when they leave the city. ② Wang said on her WeChat on Feb. 8 that Shenzhen is a very convenient city, which is why she loves it. ③ “There is always toilet paper in the restrooms.

Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some salt on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa. There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and Mom even let me eat the half. The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family.

I walked straight towards him without a second thought. ②Nothing is better than the sugar painting to me. Watching the process of making a sugar painting is a true feast (盛宴) for my eyes. ③The old man, with his great skills, created delicate sugar paintings with simple tools, including a small pot, a spoon, a table and some malt sugar (麦芽糖). The sweet smell flew into my nose slowly as the sugar was melted in the pot. After knowing what to paint, the old man scooped (挖，舀) a spoonful of sugar and put the spoon above the table. He moved the spoon a little, and then quickly moved his hands before malt sugar got hard. The golden liquid was scattered (分散) accordingly, thick or thin. It was shortly after the old man moved his hands up or down, fast or slowly that a wonderful painting appeared in front of me. Amazing! ④Can you imagine such a lively painting being finished in such a short time? Before malt sugar was completely cold, a thin stick was pressed on the sugar, making it easy to hold. ⑤I bought two sugar paintings—a monkey (for my son) and a heart (for me). Taking a bite, I was reminded of my childhood. In those days, I held Mom’s hand, squeezed through (挤过) crowds in the park, and watched the amazing sugar painting process. Mom always bought me a dragon one, the biggest and sweetest. Filled with joy, we went back home. Sugar paintings have always been sweet, my mother’s hand has always been warm, and I’ve always felt her love. 1．What caught her attention? A．An old man. B．A familiar sweet aroma. C．A little stool.

Worker bees collect nectar and pollen, protect the hive, and take care of baby bees. The queen bee lays eggs, and drones mate with the queen. When a worker bee finds food, it does a “waggle dance” to show other bees where the food is and how far it is. By working together, the hive gets enough food to live through winter. Meerkats: Meerkats live in groups called mobs. When most meerkats go out to look for insects and small animals to eat, one or two stay behind as lookouts. If they see a predator—like a hawk, a snake, or a fox—they make a loud call—then all meerkats hide right away. They also share food and take turns looking after the young. This way, the whole group stays safe and full. Orcas: Orcas (also called killer whales) hunt in groups called pods. When they go after food like fish or seals, they work together: some orcas chase the prey into a small group, and others attack one by one. For bigger prey like large whales, they may push the prey to the water surface so it can’t breathe. With teamwork, they can catch food that a single orca couldn’t get. 1．What does a honeybee’s “waggle dance” do? A．Help the queen lay eggs. B．Tell other bees where food is. C．Guard the hive from enemies. D．Care for baby bees. 2．Why do meerkats have lookouts while looking for food? A．To find more food. B．To teach young meerkats to hunt. C．To watch for dangerous animals. D．To take turns resting. 3．How are honeybees and orcas similar in teamwork? A．Both have a queen to lead the group. B．Both use teamwork to get food. C．Both live in mobs. D．Both have lookouts for predators. 4．The word “predator” in the meerkat paragraph most likely means ________ A．Animals that hunt other animals for food. B．Animals that are harmless to others. C．Animals that live in groups. D．Animals that lay eggs. 5．Why can orcas catch big prey in pods? A．Big prey is scared of groups. B．Big prey only lives in groups. C．Pods can swim faster than single orca. D．A single orca isn’t strong enough. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了自然界中蜜蜂、猫鼬、虎鲸三种动物的团队协作方式。 1．细节理解题。根据文章中蜜蜂部分的“When a worker bee finds food, it does a ‘waggle dance’ to show other bees where the food is and how far it is.”可知，蜜蜂的“摇摆舞”是用来告诉其他蜜蜂食物的位置。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章中猫鼬部分的“When most meerkats go out to look for insects and small animals to eat, one or two stay behind as lookouts. If they see a predator... they make a loud call—then all meerkats hide right away.”可知，猫鼬觅食时留下守望者是为了警惕危险动物。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章中蜜蜂部分的“By working together, the hive gets enough food to live through winter.”和虎鲸部分的“With teamwork, they can catch food that a single orca couldn’t get.”可知，蜜蜂和虎鲸的团队协作都用于获取食物。故选B。 4．词句猜测题。根据“If they see a predator... they make a loud call—then all meerkats hide right away.”可知，猫鼬见到predator后会立即躲藏，说明这是一种会给它们带来危险的动物，即“捕食性动物”或“天敌”。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据文中末句“With teamwork, they can catch food that a single orca couldn’t get.”可知，虎鲸团队能捕捉单只无法获得的猎物。由此可推断，根本原因是单只虎鲸力量不足，无法独立完成捕猎，因此需要合作。故选D。 Drones (无人机): Useful Helpers in Our Daily Lives In recent years, drones have become more and more popular. These small flying machines, which can be controlled by remote devices, are no longer just toys for hobbyists. They are now playing important roles in many parts of our daily lives, making our work easier and life more convenient. One of the most common uses of drones is in delivery services. Big companies like Amazon have tested drone delivery for a long time. Instead of sending delivery workers by bike or car, drones can carry small packages (such as books, snacks, and even medicine) to people’s homes quickly. This is especially helpful in areas with heavy traffic, as drones can fly over cars and reach the destination in less time. Drones also bring great benefits to agriculture. Farmers use drones to check their crops. Equipped with special cameras, drones can fly over large fields and take clear pictures. Farmers can then look at these pictures to see if their crops are healthy, if they need more water, or if there are pests. This helps farmers save a lot of time and energy compared to walking around the fields by themselves. Besides, drones are useful in search and rescue work. When someone gets lost in the mountains or a forest, rescuers can use drones to look for them. Drones can cover large areas quickly and send real-time videos back to rescuers. This makes it much easier for rescuers to find the lost person, especially in dangerous or hard-to-reach places. However, using drones also has some rules. For example, drones cannot fly near airports (because they may disturb planes) and must not be used to take photos of other people’s houses without permission. Following these rules helps keep everyone safe and protects people’s privacy. With their many useful functions, drones are sure to become even more important in our daily lives in the future. 1．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell readers how to make a drone. B．To introduce the uses of drones in daily life. C．To explain why drones are expensive. D．To describe the history of drones. 2．Which of the following is NOT a use of drones mentioned in the passage? A．Delivering small packages. B．Helping farmers check crops. C．Teaching students in class. D．Assisting in search and rescue work. 3．Why is drone delivery helpful in areas with heavy traffic? A．Drones are cheaper than delivery cars. B．Drones can fly over cars and save time. C．Drones can carry very large packages. D．Drones don’t need any power to fly. 4．What does the underlined word “pests” mean in Chinese? A．杂草 B．害虫 C．农具 D．肥料 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Drones can be used freely anywhere. B．Drones are only used by big companies now. C．Drones will be more useful in the future. D．Drones can replace farmers to grow crops. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了无人机在日常生活中的多种用途，包括送货服务、农业应用和搜救工作，并提到了使用无人机的一些规则。 1．主旨大意题。根据文章标题“Drones (无人机): Useful Helpers in Our Daily Lives”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了无人机在日常生活中的多种用途。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One of the most common uses of drones is in delivery services.”、第三段“Drones also bring great benefits to agriculture.

Many people use it for work, study and entertainment. But do you know how the Internet was invented? The Internet was first developed in the 1960s by the US Department of Defense. At that time, it was called ARPANET. It was designed to connect computers at different universities and research centers. The goal was to share information and keep communication possible even if part of the network was destroyed. In the 1970s, scientists developed a way to send data between different networks. This was called TCP/IP. It became the standard for how data is sent over the Internet. In the 1990s, the World Wide Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee. This made it easier for people to use the Internet. They could use browsers to view web pages with pictures and text. Today, the Internet connects billions of devices around the world. We can do almost anything online—shop, study, work, communicate and more. The Internet has changed the way we live and work. 1．When was the Internet first developed? A．In the 1950s. B．In the 1960s.

Today, it’s around us every day, quietly changing how we live, study and work—just like the new technologies we learned about in our science class. Let’s start with daily life. Have you ever asked a smart speaker to play your favorite song? Or used an app that recommends delicious snacks based on what you’ve ordered before? That’s AI at work! Even the navigation app your parents use to drive you to school uses AI. It checks real-time traffic and finds the fastest way, so you never have to worry about being late for class. In school, AI is becoming a helpful study partner. Many of our textbooks now have AI learning tools. For example, if you’re struggling with English listening, the AI tool can pick out your weak points and give you special practice. Some schools also have AI teaching assistants. They can answer your questions about math formulas or history facts even after class, just like a friend who’s good at all subjects. AI is also doing great things in hospitals. Doctors use AI to look at X-ray and CT pictures. AI can find small problems that are hard for humans to see, helping sick people get better faster. Some AI systems can even tell people if they might get certain diseases early, so they can take care of their health before it’s too late. Of course, AI isn’t perfect. Some people worry that AI might take over some jobs in the future. But our textbook says that new technologies always bring new jobs too. If we learn new skills, we can work with AI instead of worrying about it. All in all, AI is making our world a better place. As long as we use it in the right way, it will keep helping us grow and learn— just like the useful tools we use in our daily study. 1．What can a smart speaker do with AI? A．Drive a car to school. B．Play favorite songs. C．Do math homework. D．Take X-ray pictures. 2．How does AI help with navigation? A．It makes snacks for drivers. B．It checks real-time traffic. C．It teaches English listening. D．It answers history questions. 3．Why is AI a helpful study partner? A．It can replace teachers in class. B．It finds students’ weak points for practice. C．It writes textbooks for schools. D．It plays games with students after class. 4．What cannot AI do in hospitals? A．Find small problems in medical pictures. B．Tell people if they might get certain diseases early. C．Cure all kinds of diseases. D．Look at X-ray and CT pictures. 5．What do some people worry about AI? A．It will make textbooks useless. B．It will take over some jobs. C．It will stop working after class. D．It will make navigation apps wrong. 6．What does the writer think of AI? A．It is useless for students. B．It is perfect and has no problems. C．It is helpful if used properly. D．It will take all jobs from humans. For the past decades, shopping habits have changed dramatically with technology. While traditional stores (like markets and supermarkets) and online shops both sell products, they offer very different experiences for different needs. Comparing and Contrasting: Both provide daily things like food, clothes, and electronic devices. Prices are shown clearly. High-quality products are available in both places, but it is essential to check customer reviews when shopping online to avoid unsatisfactory purchases. Feature Traditional Shopping Online Shopping Atmosphere It provides a tangible experience—you can touch, smell, and try on products personally before making a purchase decision. It offers a virtual experience—you can browse products comfortably at home, but you cannot physically touch or smell the items. Convenience You have to visit the store in person and abide by its opening hours, which may be inconvenient for busy people. It enables you to shop at anytime and from any location, as online stores operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Payment Multiple payment methods are accepted at the checkout, including cash, bank cards, and mobile payment apps. You mainly rely on digital payments, such as credit cards, e-wallets, and installment payment services. Delivery You can take your purchased items home immediately after payment, with no need to wait for delivery. You have to wait for the goods to be delivered, and the delivery time usually ranges from a few hours to several days. Customer Service You can communicate face-to-face with shop assistants to get professional help and practical advice. You can seek assistance through chatbots, emails, or phone calls, but there is no face-to-face interaction. Mrs. Lin, a 65-year-old woman, says: “I prefer traditional markets because I enjoy chatting with sellers and seeing products with my own eyes. Online shopping lacks the personal touch that I value.” Tom, a 16-year-old student, holds a different opinion: “I am fond of online shopping! It saves me a lot of time, and I can easily compare prices across different platforms. Besides, the delivery service sends the goods directly to my door.” Which type of shopping is better? It depends on your personal needs—whether you value face-to-face communication and the real experience of traditional shopping, or the convenience and efficiency of online shopping. 1．What is an advantage of traditional shopping in terms of atmosphere? A．You can shop at home comfortably. B．You can touch and try products before buying. C．You don’t need to talk to anyone. D．You can browse products at any time. 2．Why might busy people prefer online shopping? A．It requires going to the store in person. B．It has fixed opening hours. C．It allows shopping anytime and anywhere. D．It needs cash payment. 3．What payment method is NOT mentioned for online shopping? A．Cash. B．Credit card. C．Installment payment. D．E-wallet. 4．According to Mrs. Lin, which reason matches her preference? A．Shopping without leaving home. B．Getting items immediately after payment. C．Having face-to-face communication with the staff. D．Being able to compare prices easily. 5．Based on the passage, which statement is TRUE? A．Traditional shopping is disappearing. B．Online shopping is better for everyone. C．The shopping choice varies according to individual needs. D．Young people never go to traditional markets. 6．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．How to Shop Safely Online B．Why Online Shopping is Better C．Traditional Shopping VS. Online Shopping D．The Role of Traditional Markets in the Digital Age Ever feel lost with numbers? The right graph can help! It makes data clear. Let’s look at the four most common graph types: Pie Chart It’s good for showing a certain part of a whole and the proportion (比例) of each part. A pie chart enables you to plan your pocket money wisely: for snacks, books, and savings. Line Graph An excellent choice if you want to describe how something changes over time. It is also good for showing big differences. Many teachers prefer using a line graph to track students’ grades. Colorful Bar Graph A colorful bar graph can also show changes over time. However, it’s more direct to make comparisons between two or more things. That’s why we can use it to compare the popularity of different school clubs among your classmates. Venn Diagram A Venn Diagram features two overlapping circles. It’s perfect for sorting information. You can use a Venn Diagram to sort plants, for example. Plants with green leaves go on the left. Plants with flowers go on the right. Plants with both go in the middle where the circles overlap. Venn Diagram 1．Where can we probably find the passage? A．In a historical novel. B．In a maths textbook. C．In a sports newspaper. D．In a tour guide. 2．If you want to show how something changes over time and big differences, which graph would be a good choice? A．Pie chart B．Colorful Bar Graph C．Line Graph D．Venn Diagram 3．The underlined phrase overlapping circles means a circle ______. A．that covers part of another circle B．that is inside another circle C．that is far away from another circle D．that is drawn under another circle 4．If you want to show how different activities, such as sleeping, studying, fun, and sports, make up the 24 hours in your day, which graph is the best choice? A．Pie Chart B．Line Graph C．Colorful Bar Graph D．Venn Diagram 5．What is the main purpose of this passage? A．To tell people about the use of data. B．To introduce some helpful data display methods. C．To show how Venn Diagrams are different from other ways. D．To help people create a project. There is no doubt (疑问) that the world will be a very different place in 2045. So what’s going to happen then? It’s pretty likely that robots and AI technology will change a lot of industries (行业). Also, self-driving and flying cars will come into our daily life, bringing us much convenience (便利). However, scientists have even bigger ideas. In a video series called Forward to the Future, three researchers predicted what they imagined would be reality in 2045. Dr. Justin Sanchez believes we’ll be at a point where we can control things simply by using our mind. “Imagine a world where you could just use your thoughts to control your environment,” Dr. Justin said. According to him, we have made some progress already. The future has more than just that. Many other exciting things could change the buildings and other objects around us, says Stefanie Tompkins. “We’ll be able to build things that are very strong but also lightweight (轻量型的). We don’t even know the materials (材料) around us,” she predicted. Pam Melroy believes we’re going to find that we have a very different relationship with the machines around us, “I think we’ll begin to see a time when we’re able to control a machine just by pressing a button (按钮) or only saying some simple words, “she said. For example, right now, to land a plane safely, a pilot has to go through many steps in the right order. But in 2045, in Pam’s words, a pilot may just need to say the words “prepare for landing”. Then the computer knows the steps it needs to take. Or perhaps, with AI, a pilot won’t even be necessary. 1．Where are these researchers’ predictions from? A．From a picture book. B．From a video series. C．From a radio report. D．From a science magazine. 2．Which of the following would be possible according to Justin? A．Seeing robots in every industry. B．Letting computers control all machines. C．Using thoughts to control the environment. D．Getting to work by self-driving or flying car. 3．In Stefanie’s imagination, future buildings will be _______. A．safer B．larger C．reusable D．amazing 4．Why does the writer give an example in the last paragraph? A．To explain Pam’s idea. B．To describe an achievement. C．To show the importance of AI. D．To interest readers in future life. 5．What’s the purpose of the passage? A．To encourage us to look into the future. B．To share some predictions about the future. C．To introduce some famous experts in science. D．To show the importance of developing technology. Today there are already robots working in factories. Some can help to build cars, and they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored. Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. They are fun to watch. However, some scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years. Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years. These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that look like snakes. If buildings fall down with people inside, these snake robots can help look for people under the buildings. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets (火箭) also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future. 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 1．What’s the meaning of the word “shapes” in Chinese? A．面积 B．形状 C．情况 2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to (指的是)?

People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or sad. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake (摇) your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod (点头) and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you know where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive (接收) messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue sea and many other things.

Then, we would shake the pan over the stove (炉子) to keep the popcorn from burning—shake, shake, shake, and pop, pop, pop—until the pan was filled with delicious popcorn! Mom would pour it all into a big bowl and add some salt on top. Later, we would all come to the living room. Dad would sit in his chair, while my mom, brothers, and I would relax on the sofa. There was always a lot of popcorn to share, and Mom even let me eat the half. The funny thing is that I have already forgotten the shows we watched, but I still remember the smell of the popcorn, the warmth of the bowl, and the joy of being with my family. I felt so loved, safe and happy. We didn’t have a big house, expensive snacks or much money, but our love for each other was everything. These small moments are the most important. They’re warm memories that last a long time. So, remember to enjoy these moments and the love that comes with them.

I walked straight towards him without a second thought. ②Nothing is better than the sugar painting to me. Watching the process of making a sugar painting is a true feast (盛宴) for my eyes. ③The old man, with his great skills, created delicate sugar paintings with simple tools, including a small pot, a spoon, a table and some malt sugar (麦芽糖). The sweet smell flew into my nose slowly as the sugar was melted in the pot. After knowing what to paint, the old man scooped (挖，舀) a spoonful of sugar and put the spoon above the table. He moved the spoon a little, and then quickly moved his hands before malt sugar got hard. The golden liquid was scattered (分散) accordingly, thick or thin. It was shortly after the old man moved his hands up or down, fast or slowly that a wonderful painting appeared in front of me. Amazing! ④Can you imagine such a lively painting being finished in such a short time? Before malt sugar was completely cold, a thin stick was pressed on the sugar, making it easy to hold. ⑤I bought two sugar paintings—a monkey (for my son) and a heart (for me). Taking a bite, I was reminded of my childhood. In those days, I held Mom’s hand, squeezed through (挤过) crowds in the park, and watched the amazing sugar painting process. Mom always bought me a dragon one, the biggest and sweetest. Filled with joy, we went back home. Sugar paintings have always been sweet, my mother’s hand has always been warm, and I’ve always felt her love. 1．What caught her attention? A．An old man. B．A familiar sweet aroma. C．A little stool.

Worker bees collect nectar and pollen, protect the hive, and take care of baby bees. The queen bee lays eggs, and drones mate with the queen. When a worker bee finds food, it does a “waggle dance” to show other bees where the food is and how far it is. By working together, the hive gets enough food to live through winter. Meerkats: Meerkats live in groups called mobs. When most meerkats go out to look for insects and small animals to eat, one or two stay behind as lookouts. If they see a predator—like a hawk, a snake, or a fox—they make a loud call—then all meerkats hide right away. They also share food and take turns looking after the young. This way, the whole group stays safe and full. Orcas: Orcas (also called killer whales) hunt in groups called pods. When they go after food like fish or seals, they work together: some orcas chase the prey into a small group, and others attack one by one. For bigger prey like large whales, they may push the prey to the water surface so it can’t breathe. With teamwork, they can catch food that a single orca couldn’t get. 1．What does a honeybee’s “waggle dance” do? A．Help the queen lay eggs. B．Tell other bees where food is. C．Guard the hive from enemies. D．Care for baby bees. 2．Why do meerkats have lookouts while looking for food? A．To find more food. B．To teach young meerkats to hunt. C．To watch for dangerous animals. D．To take turns resting. 3．How are honeybees and orcas similar in teamwork? A．Both have a queen to lead the group. B．Both use teamwork to get food. C．Both live in mobs. D．Both have lookouts for predators. 4．The word “predator” in the meerkat paragraph most likely means ________ A．Animals that hunt other animals for food. B．Animals that are harmless to others. C．Animals that live in groups. D．Animals that lay eggs. 5．Why can orcas catch big prey in pods? A．Big prey is scared of groups. B．Big prey only lives in groups. C．Pods can swim faster than single orca. D．A single orca isn’t strong enough. Drones (无人机): Useful Helpers in Our Daily Lives In recent years, drones have become more and more popular. These small flying machines, which can be controlled by remote devices, are no longer just toys for hobbyists. They are now playing important roles in many parts of our daily lives, making our work easier and life more convenient. One of the most common uses of drones is in delivery services. Big companies like Amazon have tested drone delivery for a long time. Instead of sending delivery workers by bike or car, drones can carry small packages (such as books, snacks, and even medicine) to people’s homes quickly. This is especially helpful in areas with heavy traffic, as drones can fly over cars and reach the destination in less time. Drones also bring great benefits to agriculture. Farmers use drones to check their crops. Equipped with special cameras, drones can fly over large fields and take clear pictures. Farmers can then look at these pictures to see if their crops are healthy, if they need more water, or if there are pests. This helps farmers save a lot of time and energy compared to walking around the fields by themselves. Besides, drones are useful in search and rescue work. When someone gets lost in the mountains or a forest, rescuers can use drones to look for them. Drones can cover large areas quickly and send real-time videos back to rescuers. This makes it much easier for rescuers to find the lost person, especially in dangerous or hard-to-reach places. However, using drones also has some rules. For example, drones cannot fly near airports (because they may disturb planes) and must not be used to take photos of other people’s houses without permission.
