Gossip is talking about someone's private(私人的) life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out. People often repeat gossip, so it spreads quickly. Sometimes people gossip to be mean to someone they do not like. Sometimes people gossip to show off that they know a secret. Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. Repeating it can hurt others. Think about how you would feel if people gossiped about your secrets. However, if you hear about something dangerous—like someone walks on train tracks(铁轨) to school—telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it's about keeping someone safe. Why It Hurts Gossiping can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes from friends you care about. This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships. How to Deal with It If you want to stop gossip without losing friends, here is some advice: 1. Set Clear Rules Tell your friends honestly that you don't feel good to talk about others' private lives. If they forget, remind them kindly. Thank them when they respect your rule. This helps build a trusting friendship. 2. Focus on Good News Focus on good news When you chat with your friends, share something positive. Talk about a holiday plan, a fun trip, or an interesting story. Discussing happy things makes gossip less interesting and keeps conversations friendly. 3. Change the Topic If your friends start gossiping, turn to a safe subject. Ask about hobbies, movies, or news. For example, “______?” Another more direct way is to say, “This conversation is starting to feel like gossip to me, which makes me uncomfortable, so let's talk about something else.” 4. Know When to Walk Away “You know, I’d love to chat but…” might be the easiest way to deal with those who gossip. In this way, you can leave them without an ear to hear the things that may make you unhappy. By understanding gossip and using these tips, you can protect yourself and others, building friendships based on kindness and respect instead of rumors and hurt. 36. Gossip (G) or Not (N)? ________Talking about something about a new movie you saw with your friend. ________Making up a story that your classmate is moving to another city. ________Hearing that someone brings a knife or lighter to school and telling a teacher. ________Telling many classmates how your friend Li Ming fell asleep during the math test, just to make them laugh. 37. Which phrase（短语） from the text matches the meaning? To act in a way that makes others think you are good or important. ________________________________________________________ 38. What will happen if gossip comes from your friend? ________________________________________________________ 39. What does the word “it” refer to in this sentence? Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. ________________________________________________________ 40. Fill in the blank ______ with a proper（合适的） sentence. ________________________________________________________ 【答案】36. ①. N ②. G ③. N ④. G 37 show off 38. It can be uncomfortable, break trust, spread rumors, and end friendships. 39. It refers to gossip. 40. What movie have you watched recently 【解析】 【分析】本文介绍了“八卦”的定义、危害，以及如何在不失去朋友的情况下应对八卦的方法，帮助我们建立基于善意和尊重的友谊。 【36题详解】 ①根据“Gossip is talking about someone's private life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out.”可知，和朋友谈论新电影不涉及他人隐私，不属于八卦。故填N。 ②根据“Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up.”可知，编造同学转学的故事属于八卦。故填G。 ③根据“if you hear about something dangerous—like someone walks on train tracks to school—telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it’s about keeping someone safe.”可知，告知老师危险情况是为了安全，不属于八卦。故填N。 ④根据“Gossip is talking about someone's private life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out.”可知，传播朋友在考试中睡觉的事来取笑，属于八卦。故填G。 【37题详解】 根据“Sometimes people gossip to show off that they know a secret.”可知，“show off”意为炫耀，与“让别人觉得自己很棒或重要”的意思匹配。故填show off。 【38题详解】 根据“Gossiping can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes from friends you care about. This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships.”可知，来自朋友的八卦会让人不舒服，破坏信任、传播谣言，甚至终结友谊。故填It can be uncomfortable, break trust, spread rumors, and end friendships. 【39题详解】 根据前一句“Gossip can be true or partly true.”可知，“it”指代的是前面提到的“gossip”。故填It refers to gossip. 【40题详解】 根据“Change the Topic”部分的语境“If your friends start gossiping, turn to a safe subject. Ask about hobbies, movies, or news. For example, ‘______?’”，需要一个转换话题的问句，答案不唯一。故填What movie have you watched recently。 B You may know or use Siri or Doubao, but what exactly is AI? AI refers to computer systems that are able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Without realizing it, people all over the world use different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology daily, so it is very important in our lives. The Development of AI In 1950, Alan Turing came up with the “Turing Test”, which marks the start of AI. Then, in 1956, scientists officially made AI a scientific field. Since then, AI has achieved many breakthroughs (突破) —IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997; DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016; and OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022. Today, DeepSeek (Hangzhou), a more powerful and user-friendly AI, provides a detailed thinking process for people. AI Today Today, AI is used worldwide in different ways. In factories, AI does boring work instead of human workers to increase production and reduce costs. Some difficult tasks in space are performed by AI to protect astronauts from dangers. In the field of medicine, AI helps doctors scan X-rays, perform operations, and diagnose (诊断) patients. It seems that AI can take the place of humans in quite a few jobs across different fields. The Future of AI In the future scientists want AI to use sensors (传感器) to sense smells, tastes, touches, and sounds, and then respond to certain situations. They also want AI to be able to tell how people are feeling by looking at their expressions or listening to their tones (语气). AI is a technology that is developing fast and changing all the time. It will appear more often in our daily lives. 41. Why is AI important in our lives? ____________________________________________________ 42.

In the future, scientists hope AI can sense the world and understand human _______ better. AI is developing rapidly and it will appear more often in our _______. 44. Do you think AI is good for our lives? Why or why not? (at least 2 sentences for your reason) _______________________________________________________ 【答案】41. Because people all over the world use different forms of AI technology daily. 42. ①. IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997 ②. DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016 ③. OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022 43. ①. scientific ②. fields ③. feelings ④. daily lives 44.

Gossip is talking about someone's private(私人的) life in a way that could hurt or make them uncomfortable if they found out. People often repeat gossip, so it spreads quickly. Sometimes people gossip to be mean to someone they do not like. Sometimes people gossip to show off that they know a secret. Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. Repeating it can hurt others. Think about how you would feel if people gossiped about your secrets. However, if you hear about something dangerous—like someone walks on train tracks(铁轨) to school—telling a trusted adult is not gossip; it's about keeping someone safe. Why It Hurts Gossiping can be uncomfortable, especially when it comes from friends you care about. This kind of negative talk breaks trust, spreads rumors, and can end friendships. How to Deal with It If you want to stop gossip without losing friends, here is some advice: 1. Set Clear Rules Tell your friends honestly that you don't feel good to talk about others' private lives. If they forget, remind them kindly. Thank them when they respect your rule. This helps build a trusting friendship. 2. Focus on Good News Focus on good news When you chat with your friends, share something positive. Talk about a holiday plan, a fun trip, or an interesting story. Discussing happy things makes gossip less interesting and keeps conversations friendly. 3. Change the Topic If your friends start gossiping, turn to a safe subject. Ask about hobbies, movies, or news. For example, “______?” Another more direct way is to say, “This conversation is starting to feel like gossip to me, which makes me uncomfortable, so let's talk about something else.” 4. Know When to Walk Away “You know, I’d love to chat but…” might be the easiest way to deal with those who gossip. In this way, you can leave them without an ear to hear the things that may make you unhappy. By understanding gossip and using these tips, you can protect yourself and others, building friendships based on kindness and respect instead of rumors and hurt. 36. Gossip (G) or Not (N)? ________Talking about something about a new movie you saw with your friend. ________Making up a story that your classmate is moving to another city. ________Hearing that someone brings a knife or lighter to school and telling a teacher. ________Telling many classmates how your friend Li Ming fell asleep during the math test, just to make them laugh. 37. Which phrase（短语） from the text matches the meaning? To act in a way that makes others think you are good or important. ________________________________________________________ 38. What will happen if gossip comes from your friend? ________________________________________________________ 39. What does the word “it” refer to in this sentence? Gossip can be true or partly true. Sometimes gossip is not true at all because someone made it up. ________________________________________________________ 40. Fill in the blank ______ with a proper（合适的） sentence. ________________________________________________________ B You may know or use Siri or Doubao, but what exactly is AI? AI refers to computer systems that are able to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Without realizing it, people all over the world use different forms of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology daily, so it is very important in our lives. The Development of AI In 1950, Alan Turing came up with the “Turing Test”, which marks the start of AI. Then, in 1956, scientists officially made AI a scientific field. Since then, AI has achieved many breakthroughs (突破) —IBM’s “Deep Blue” won against chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997; DeepMind’s AlphaGo beat Go champion Lee Sedol in 2016; and OpenAI created ChatGPT, an AI that can chat like a human in 2022. Today, DeepSeek (Hangzhou), a more powerful and user-friendly AI, provides a detailed thinking process for people. AI Today Today, AI is used worldwide in different ways. In factories, AI does boring work instead of human workers to increase production and reduce costs. Some difficult tasks in space are performed by AI to protect astronauts from dangers. In the field of medicine, AI helps doctors scan X-rays, perform operations, and diagnose (诊断) patients. It seems that AI can take the place of humans in quite a few jobs across different fields. The Future of AI In the future, scientists want AI to use sensors (传感器) to sense smells, tastes, touches, and sounds, and then respond to certain situations. They also want AI to be able to tell how people are feeling by looking at their expressions or listening to their tones (语气). AI is a technology that is developing fast and changing all the time. It will appear more often in our daily lives. 41. Why is AI important in our lives? ____________________________________________________ 42. List three major breakthroughs of AI mentioned in the passage. ①____________________________________________________ ②____________________________________________________ ③____________________________________________________ 43. 根据短文内容填空。 (每空不超过三个单词) AI is a computer system that can finish tasks with human intelligence. It has a long_______history, starting with the “Turing Test” in 1950. Over the years, AI has made many breakthroughs. Today, it is widely used in different _______ like factories, space and medicine. In the future, scientists hope AI can sense the world and understand human _______ better. AI is developing rapidly and it will appear more often in our _______. 44. Do you think AI is good for our lives? Why or why not?
