You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate – physical books vs. e-books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book? 想象你坐在家里安静的阅读角，无视周遭的喧嚣，全神贯注地沉浸在一个故事里。你读了简介，立刻产生了浓厚兴趣，现在你正手不释卷地读着一本绝对精彩、让人忍不住翻页的书。但当下有个热门争论——纸质书、电子书与有声书之争。你阅读的载体会不会影响你对这本书的反应呢？ Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits. 通常来说，阅读会调动大脑的多个区域，包括注意力广度、推理能力、阅读流畅度、记忆力以及语言理解能力。阅读能够提升沟通能力、丰富词汇量，还能提高情商与社会感知力。所以，无论你以何种形式阅读，都必定能有所收获。 But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes – that’s physical books and e-books. They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other. 不过，我们来看看用眼阅读的好处——也就是纸质书和电子书。这两种形式能帮助你更好地留存信息。因为当你能真切看到文字时，注意力会更集中。此外，纸质书还有一个优势，如果你走神了（这种情况迟早会发生），能轻松翻回去找到遗漏的部分。 On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film – in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation. Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. Yet, going back to attention span, with an audiobook it’s true that it’s much harder to go back and listen again. 另一方面，说说有声书。戴上耳机，你便与现实生活抽离，故事也真正鲜活起来，这就像在脑海里看一部电影。从科学角度来看，听有声书有助于培养更强的共情能力，因为你能听到讲述者的情感。我们能更轻松地理解语气和语调的变化。聆听故事会调动大脑的不同区域，增强情节的感染力与画面感，让你更享受阅读过程。不过，回到注意力广度的问题上，听有声书确实很难倒回去再听一遍。 All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks. Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience. 总而言之，纸质书和有声书显然各有优势。或许下次当你逛书店书架时，也可以考虑一下书籍的载体形式。这或许会改变你整体的阅读体验。 【长难句分析】 1. 原句：You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. 译文：你读了简介，立刻产生了浓厚兴趣，现在你正手不释卷地读着一本绝对精彩、让人忍不住翻页的书。 难点：① 句式结构：三个并列分句构成顺承关系，描述阅读的连续动作与状态； ② 核心短语：became intrigued（产生兴趣）、page-turner（原指让人忍不住翻页的书，此处意译为“精彩的书”）； ③ 翻译技巧：将“in the middle of”意译为“正……读着”，符合中文阅读场景的表达习惯。 2. 原句：This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. 译文：因为当你能真切看到文字时，注意力会更集中。 难点：① 句式结构：This is because 引导表语从句，从句中又包含when引导的时间状语从句； ② 语法点：被动语态is held more closely，此处“hold attention”表示“集中注意力”，翻译时需转化为主动语态更符合中文习惯； ③ 词汇细节：actually 强调“真切、实际”，突出视觉阅读的特点。 【重难词汇梳理】 reading nook 读书角 engrossed 全神贯注的，专心致志的 tale 故事 blurb 简介 page-turner 令人爱不释手的书 e-book 电子书籍 audiobook 有声读物 attention span 注意力的持续时间，注意广度 fluency 流畅度 emotional intelligence 情商 social perception 社会知觉 retain 记住 attention is held 注意力集中 wander 走神，开小差 come alive 变得有趣，显得逼真 narrator 讲述者 inflection 音调变化 intonation 语调 imagery 意象，比喻 browse 随意看，浏览 bookshop shelves 书店的书架 literary 文学的 Passage2 The film Minority Report 电影《少数派报告》 The film Minority Report, based on a novella by science fiction author Philip K Dick, was released in 2002 and set in the year. 电影《少数派报告》改编自科幻作家菲利普·K·迪克的一部中篇小说，于 2002 年上映，故事背景设定在 2054 年。 Three years before production began, director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts, including the founder of virtual reality Jaron Lanier, to a three-day summit to reflect on which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s.The discussions shaped many of the innovations featured in the film. 在影片制作开始前三年，导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格邀请了包括虚拟现实创始人杰伦·拉尼尔在内的 15 位专家，举行了一场为期三天的峰会，探讨 2050 年代可能存在的技术。这些讨论塑造了影片中呈现的许多技术创新。 If the events of the Tom Cruise-starring science fiction thriller are to be believed, by the mid-2050s we will all be using gesture recognition (and fancy gloves) to swirl through videos on our transparent monitors, while policemen on jetpacks fight impending crime with the help of vomit-inducing batons. 如果汤姆·克鲁斯主演的这部科幻惊悚片中的情节可信，那么到 2050 年代中期，我们都将使用手势识别技术（以及炫酷的手套）在透明显示屏上浏览视频，而警察则会穿着喷气背包，借助令人作呕的警棍打击即将发生的犯罪。 Like much science fiction in the arts, the film paints a dystopian view of our future years.It's a feeling which some experts have begun to echo in our current timeline – with some going even as far as to suggest that artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity. 和许多艺术作品中的科幻题材一样，这部电影描绘了一个反乌托邦式的未来。这种情绪如今也开始在现实世界中被一些专家所呼应，甚至有人认为，人工智能可能导致人类的灭绝。 Perhaps before getting too despondent about what may await us in 2050, it's worth returning to the words of Philip K Dick himself."I, for one, bet on science as helping us," he wrote in his 1968 personal autobiographical essay Self Portrait."Science has given us more lives than it has taken," he said."We must remember that." 或许，在对 2050 年可能到来的未来感到过度沮丧之前，我们值得回到菲利普·K·迪克本人的话语中。“就我个人而言，我押注科学会帮助我们，”他在 1968 年的自传性随笔《自画像》中写道。“科学给予我们的生命多于它夺走的生命，”他说。“我们必须记住这一点。” 【长难句分析】 Three years before production began, director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts, including the founder of virtual reality Jaron Lanier, to a three-day summit to reflect on which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s. 重点：director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts；Three years before production began→ 时间状语→ 其中 before production began 为时间状语从句的省略形式（完整形式可理解为before production began）；director Steven Spielberg→ 主语→ director 为名词，同位语性质说明身份→ Steven Spielberg 为专有名词，具体指代；invited→ 谓语动词；fifteen experts→ 宾语；including the founder of virtual reality Jaron Lanier→ including 引导的补充说明成分→ 对 experts 进行举例说明→ Jaron Lanier 为the founder of virtual reality 的同位语；to a three-day summit→ 介词短语作 宾语补足语 / 目的地点状语→ 说明“邀请到哪里”；to reflect on which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s→ 不定式短语作目的状语→ reflect on 为动词短语→ which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s 为宾语从句，作reflect on 的宾语 【重难词汇梳理】 based on 改编自；science fiction科幻；released上映；set in 设定在；production制作；director导演；invited邀请；virtual reality虚拟现实；innovations创新；jetpacks喷气背包；echo呼应；current timeline当前时间线；artificial intelligence人工智能；extinction灭绝；despondent 沮丧的；bet on押注于；autobiographical自传性的；thriller惊悚片；recognition识别 实战演练 Passage1 He Hua Shen was one of the most eye-catching programs at the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It brought together twelve performers, each standing for a goddess in charge of one month’s flower. The show was based on the traditional Chinese custom of the twelve monthly flower goddesses, which has been popular for hundreds of years. What made the show special was its perfect mix of traditional culture and modern technology. The designers created costumes in classic Chinese styles, using non-heritage fabrics and patterns from ancient cultural relics. For example, Li Qin, playing the Goddess of Osmanthus (桂花), wore an elegant Song-style dress that showed the beauty of traditional clothing. Qin Lan appeared as the Goddess of Peach Blossoms, whose look was soft and lovely like blooming peach flowers. Besides beautiful looks, the program also carried deep cultural meanings. Each flower and goddess stands for certain values in Chinese culture. The chrysanthemum (菊花) means purity and independence, while the lotus (荷花) stands for honesty and elegance. Through beautiful scenes, the show told these cultural stories in a lively and modern way. Modern technology played an important role, too. With AI and 3D effects, the stage looked like a real garden where flowers of twelve months bloomed at the same time. The amazing visual (视觉的) experience made the program popular among people of all ages, especially the young. He Hua Shen is more than just a performance. It helps traditional Chinese culture become fresh and lively again. It allows people at home and abroad to understand and appreciate (欣赏) traditional beauty in a new way. Many people hope to see more such creative cultural programmes in the future. 1．What is the first paragraph mainly about? A．The history of flower culture. B．A simple introduction of He Hua Shen.

The celebrations were held in Milan’s San Siro Stadium (体育场) and also in other cities like Predazzo, Livigno, and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The ceremony included two main highlights. First, athletes from around the world took part in the Parade of Nations. Second, the Olympic cauldrons (火炬台) were lit in Milan and Cortina, marking the true start of the Games. Famous singers like Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli gave wonderful performances during the event. The United States sent the largest team with over 230 athletes. Canada followed with 210, and host Italy had 196 athletes. Norway, a traditional winter sports leader, also sent a strong team of nearly 200 athletes. The Olympic cauldrons, located in Milan and Cortina, were special. Their design was inspired by the patterns of the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, looking like a sun with beautiful knots. These cauldrons could open and close, changing their diameter (直径). Inside their center, the Olympic flame burned safely within a glass and metal container (容器). Three Italian Olympic champions skiers had the honor of lighting the cauldrons. Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni lit the flame in Milan, while Sofia Goggia did so in Cortina. Tomba and Compagnoni are now retired, but Goggia will compete in the 2026 Games.

A．Only one cauldron was lit during the opening ceremony. B．The Olympic cauldrons were designed to look like a moon. C．The cauldrons could change their size by opening and closing. D．The Olympic flame traveled across Italy for 30 days before the Games. 5．What is the main idea of this passage? A．To introduce the artists who performed at the Olympic opening ceremony. B．To describe the design and lighting of the cauldrons for the 2026 Winter Olympics. C．To compare the number of athletes from different countries in the 2026 Winter Olympics. D．To report on the highlights and key details of the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文报道了2026年冬奥会开幕式的盛况，包括举办地点、参赛国家、火炬台设计及点火仪式等亮点。 1．第一段提到：“The celebrations were held in Milan’s San Siro Stadium and also in other cities like Predazzo, Livigno, and Cortina d’Ampezzo.”，说明开幕式在米兰及其他几个意大利城市举行。 2．第三段提到：“The United States sent the largest team with over 230 athletes.”，说明美国参赛运动员数量最多。 3．第四段提到：“Their design was inspired by the patterns of the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci”，说明火炬台的设计灵感来自达·芬奇，体现了意大利文化与奥运会的联系。 4．第四段提到：“These cauldrons could open and close, changing their diameter.”，说明火炬台可以通过开合改变大小，与C项表述一致。 5．全文围绕2026年冬奥会开幕式展开，介绍了举办地点、参赛情况、火炬台设计及点火仪式等亮点，因此D项最能概括文章主旨。 Passage3 Cornell University raised the 3 P’s for effective (有效的) reading. The 3 P’s—purpose (目标), preview (预览), plan—allow students to get into their reading and learn more actively. Purpose - “Why am I reading this?” Think about the reason you’re reading. Is it for fun, to learn something new, or to find an answer? Example: “I’m reading this story to find out how the hero solves the problem he meets.” Why it helps: Knowing your purpose keeps you focused and makes reading more meaningful. Preview - “Let’s take a quick look !” Before reading, look at the title, pictures, and headings. Look through the pages to see what’s coming. Example: “I see a picture of a dragon — maybe this is an adventure (冒险)”!. Why it helps: Previewing builds your interest and gives hints (线索) about what you will read. Plan - “How will I read this?” Decide how you’ll read—slowly to understand new words, or quickly to get the main idea. Example: “I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words.” Why it helps: Planning helps you keep on tasks and remember more of what you read. 1．What do we use 3 P’s for? A．Effective listening. B．Effective reading. C．Effective writing. D．Effective talking. 2．What does “previewing” help you do? A．Focus on the reading task. B．Understand new words. C．Build interest and get hints. D．Read more quickly. 3．Which of the following example is “planning”? A．“I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know.” B．“I’m reading this science article to learn how bees help plants grow.” C．“I see the picture of colorful fish—this book is probably about ocean life.” D．“I’m reading the traveling guide book to decide where to go on my next vacation.” 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了康奈尔大学提出的有效阅读的3P方法（Purpose、Preview、Plan），并通过选择题考查对这一阅读策略的理解与应用。 1．原文第一句明确指出“Cornell University raised the 3 P’s for effective reading”，直接说明3P方法是用于有效阅读的，因此对应选项B。 2．在Preview板块的“Why it helps”部分，原文提到“Previewing builds your interest and gives hints about what you will read”，与选项C“Build interest and get hints”完全对应。 3．Plan板块的示例为“I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words”，选项A“I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know”与该示例结构和内容一致，属于规划阅读方式的表达；而选项B、D属于Purpose（目标），选项C属于Preview（预览），因此答案为A。 Passage4 When I woke up, I was surprised to discover that I was in my own room.

Among them was a wise old pigeon. Every pigeon looked up to the wise old pigeon One day, while searching for food, they saw rice spread on the ground. All pigeons, at once decided to fly down and eat the rice. But the wise pigeon thought, “How could so much rice be found in this thick forest?” He tried to stop all other pigeons but he failed. When all pigeons finished eating the rice and tried to fly back, they were unable to move their feet as they got stuck in a net. Soon, bird catcher saw pigeons trapped (陷入困境). He shouted, “Ah! So many pigeons I will put them in cages and sell them in the market. ” Nothing could help pigeons to get free from the net. They all cried, “What should we do now?” They looked at the wise old pigeon and said, “Please save us” The wise pigeon advised, “Stop pulling the net in your own direction (方向). Instead, try to fly up together and carry the net with you.” All pigeons listened to him and started to pull together and in no time started to fly away together Then the wise old pigeon said, “Unity (团结一致) has great strength to protect you from harm.

You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. But, there’s a hot debate – physical books vs. e-books vs. audiobooks. Does the device you’re using to read affect your reaction to the book? 想象你坐在家里安静的阅读角，无视周遭的喧嚣，全神贯注地沉浸在一个故事里。你读了简介，立刻产生了浓厚兴趣，现在你正手不释卷地读着一本绝对精彩、让人忍不住翻页的书。但当下有个热门争论——纸质书、电子书与有声书之争。你阅读的载体会不会影响你对这本书的反应呢？ Generally, reading uses several areas of the brain. There’s attention span, reasoning, reading fluency, memory and language comprehension. Reading is known to strengthen communicative ability, vocabulary and increase emotional intelligence and social perception. So, whichever way you’re reading, there are definitely benefits. 通常来说，阅读会调动大脑的多个区域，包括注意力广度、推理能力、阅读流畅度、记忆力以及语言理解能力。阅读能够提升沟通能力、丰富词汇量，还能提高情商与社会感知力。所以，无论你以何种形式阅读，都必定能有所收获。 But, let’s look at the pros to reading with your eyes – that’s physical books and e-books. They can help to retain information better. This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. Add to this the fact that with physical books you can go back and find any part you missed, especially if your mind wanders, which it likely will at some point or other. 不过，我们来看看用眼阅读的好处——也就是纸质书和电子书。这两种形式能帮助你更好地留存信息。因为当你能真切看到文字时，注意力会更集中。此外，纸质书还有一个优势，如果你走神了（这种情况迟早会发生），能轻松翻回去找到遗漏的部分。 On the other hand, there’s the audiobook. Headphones in, you’re switched off from life and the story really comes alive, almost like watching a film – in your head. From a scientific perspective, listening to an audiobook is likely to help you develop a greater sense of empathy as you hear the emotion of the narrator. We can more easily understand inflection and intonation. Hearing the story engages different parts of the brain, heightening the intensity and imagery, making you enjoy it more. Yet, going back to attention span, with an audiobook it’s true that it’s much harder to go back and listen again. 另一方面，说说有声书。戴上耳机，你便与现实生活抽离，故事也真正鲜活起来，这就像在脑海里看一部电影。从科学角度来看，听有声书有助于培养更强的共情能力，因为你能听到讲述者的情感。我们能更轻松地理解语气和语调的变化。聆听故事会调动大脑的不同区域，增强情节的感染力与画面感，让你更享受阅读过程。不过，回到注意力广度的问题上，听有声书确实很难倒回去再听一遍。 All in all, it seems that there are advantages to both physical books and audiobooks. Perhaps, next time you find yourself browsing bookshop shelves, also consider the format. It may just change your whole literary experience. 总而言之，纸质书和有声书显然各有优势。或许下次当你逛书店书架时，也可以考虑一下书籍的载体形式。这或许会改变你整体的阅读体验。 【长难句分析】 1. 原句：You read the blurb, instantly became intrigued and now you’re in the middle of an absolute page-turner. 译文：你读了简介，立刻产生了浓厚兴趣，现在你正手不释卷地读着一本绝对精彩、让人忍不住翻页的书。 难点：① 句式结构：三个并列分句构成顺承关系，描述阅读的连续动作与状态； ② 核心短语：became intrigued（产生兴趣）、page-turner（原指让人忍不住翻页的书，此处意译为“精彩的书”）； ③ 翻译技巧：将“in the middle of”意译为“正……读着”，符合中文阅读场景的表达习惯。 2. 原句：This is because when you can actually see the words, your attention is held more closely. 译文：因为当你能真切看到文字时，注意力会更集中。 难点：① 句式结构：This is because 引导表语从句，从句中又包含when引导的时间状语从句； ② 语法点：被动语态is held more closely，此处“hold attention”表示“集中注意力”，翻译时需转化为主动语态更符合中文习惯； ③ 词汇细节：actually 强调“真切、实际”，突出视觉阅读的特点。 【重难词汇梳理】 reading nook 读书角 engrossed 全神贯注的，专心致志的 tale 故事 blurb 简介 page-turner 令人爱不释手的书 e-book 电子书籍 audiobook 有声读物 attention span 注意力的持续时间，注意广度 fluency 流畅度 emotional intelligence 情商 social perception 社会知觉 retain 记住 attention is held 注意力集中 wander 走神，开小差 come alive 变得有趣，显得逼真 narrator 讲述者 inflection 音调变化 intonation 语调 imagery 意象，比喻 browse 随意看，浏览 bookshop shelves 书店的书架 literary 文学的 Passage2 The film Minority Report 电影《少数派报告》 The film Minority Report, based on a novella by science fiction author Philip K Dick, was released in 2002 and set in the year. 电影《少数派报告》改编自科幻作家菲利普·K·迪克的一部中篇小说，于 2002 年上映，故事背景设定在 2054 年。 Three years before production began, director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts, including the founder of virtual reality Jaron Lanier, to a three-day summit to reflect on which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s.The discussions shaped many of the innovations featured in the film. 在影片制作开始前三年，导演史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格邀请了包括虚拟现实创始人杰伦·拉尼尔在内的 15 位专家，举行了一场为期三天的峰会，探讨 2050 年代可能存在的技术。这些讨论塑造了影片中呈现的许多技术创新。 If the events of the Tom Cruise-starring science fiction thriller are to be believed, by the mid-2050s we will all be using gesture recognition (and fancy gloves) to swirl through videos on our transparent monitors, while policemen on jetpacks fight impending crime with the help of vomit-inducing batons. 如果汤姆·克鲁斯主演的这部科幻惊悚片中的情节可信，那么到 2050 年代中期，我们都将使用手势识别技术（以及炫酷的手套）在透明显示屏上浏览视频，而警察则会穿着喷气背包，借助令人作呕的警棍打击即将发生的犯罪。 Like much science fiction in the arts, the film paints a dystopian view of our future years.It's a feeling which some experts have begun to echo in our current timeline – with some going even as far as to suggest that artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity. 和许多艺术作品中的科幻题材一样，这部电影描绘了一个反乌托邦式的未来。这种情绪如今也开始在现实世界中被一些专家所呼应，甚至有人认为，人工智能可能导致人类的灭绝。 Perhaps before getting too despondent about what may await us in 2050, it's worth returning to the words of Philip K Dick himself."I, for one, bet on science as helping us," he wrote in his 1968 personal autobiographical essay Self Portrait."Science has given us more lives than it has taken," he said."We must remember that." 或许，在对 2050 年可能到来的未来感到过度沮丧之前，我们值得回到菲利普·K·迪克本人的话语中。“就我个人而言，我押注科学会帮助我们，”他在 1968 年的自传性随笔《自画像》中写道。“科学给予我们的生命多于它夺走的生命，”他说。“我们必须记住这一点。” 【长难句分析】 Three years before production began, director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts, including the founder of virtual reality Jaron Lanier, to a three-day summit to reflect on which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s. 重点：director Steven Spielberg invited fifteen experts；Three years before production began→ 时间状语→ 其中 before production began 为时间状语从句的省略形式（完整形式可理解为before production began）；director Steven Spielberg→ 主语→ director 为名词，同位语性质说明身份→ Steven Spielberg 为专有名词，具体指代；invited→ 谓语动词；fifteen experts→ 宾语；including the founder of virtual reality Jaron Lanier→ including 引导的补充说明成分→ 对 experts 进行举例说明→ Jaron Lanier 为the founder of virtual reality 的同位语；to a three-day summit→ 介词短语作 宾语补足语 / 目的地点状语→ 说明“邀请到哪里”；to reflect on which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s→ 不定式短语作目的状语→ reflect on 为动词短语→ which technologies could possibly exist in the 2050s 为宾语从句，作reflect on 的宾语 【重难词汇梳理】 based on 改编自；science fiction科幻；released上映；set in 设定在；production制作；director导演；invited邀请；virtual reality虚拟现实；innovations创新；jetpacks喷气背包；echo呼应；current timeline当前时间线；artificial intelligence人工智能；extinction灭绝；despondent 沮丧的；bet on押注于；autobiographical自传性的；thriller惊悚片；recognition识别 实战演练 Passage1 He Hua Shen was one of the most eye-catching programs at the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It brought together twelve performers, each standing for a goddess in charge of one month’s flower. The show was based on the traditional Chinese custom of the twelve monthly flower goddesses, which has been popular for hundreds of years. What made the show special was its perfect mix of traditional culture and modern technology. The designers created costumes in classic Chinese styles, using non-heritage fabrics and patterns from ancient cultural relics. For example, Li Qin, playing the Goddess of Osmanthus (桂花), wore an elegant Song-style dress that showed the beauty of traditional clothing. Qin Lan appeared as the Goddess of Peach Blossoms, whose look was soft and lovely like blooming peach flowers. Besides beautiful looks, the program also carried deep cultural meanings. Each flower and goddess stands for certain values in Chinese culture. The chrysanthemum (菊花) means purity and independence, while the lotus (荷花) stands for honesty and elegance. Through beautiful scenes, the show told these cultural stories in a lively and modern way. Modern technology played an important role, too. With AI and 3D effects, the stage looked like a real garden where flowers of twelve months bloomed at the same time. The amazing visual (视觉的) experience made the program popular among people of all ages, especially the young. He Hua Shen is more than just a performance. It helps traditional Chinese culture become fresh and lively again. It allows people at home and abroad to understand and appreciate (欣赏) traditional beauty in a new way.

Passage2 The 2026 Winter Olympics officially began with a grand opening ceremony. The celebrations were held in Milan’s San Siro Stadium (体育场) and also in other cities like Predazzo, Livigno, and Cortina d’Ampezzo. The ceremony included two main highlights. First, athletes from around the world took part in the Parade of Nations. Second, the Olympic cauldrons (火炬台) were lit in Milan and Cortina, marking the true start of the Games. Famous singers like Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli gave wonderful performances during the event. The United States sent the largest team with over 230 athletes. Canada followed with 210, and host Italy had 196 athletes. Norway, a traditional winter sports leader, also sent a strong team of nearly 200 athletes. The Olympic cauldrons, located in Milan and Cortina, were special. Their design was inspired by the patterns of the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, looking like a sun with beautiful knots. These cauldrons could open and close, changing their diameter (直径). Inside their center, the Olympic flame burned safely within a glass and metal container (容器). Three Italian Olympic champions skiers had the honor of lighting the cauldrons. Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni lit the flame in Milan, while Sofia Goggia did so in Cortina.

The 3 P’s—purpose (目标), preview (预览), plan—allow students to get into their reading and learn more actively. Purpose - “Why am I reading this?” Think about the reason you’re reading. Is it for fun, to learn something new, or to find an answer? Example: “I’m reading this story to find out how the hero solves the problem he meets.” Why it helps: Knowing your purpose keeps you focused and makes reading more meaningful. Preview - “Let’s take a quick look !” Before reading, look at the title, pictures, and headings. Look through the pages to see what’s coming. Example: “I see a picture of a dragon — maybe this is an adventure (冒险)”!. Why it helps: Previewing builds your interest and gives hints (线索) about what you will read. Plan - “How will I read this?” Decide how you’ll read—slowly to understand new words, or quickly to get the main idea. Example: “I’ll read one chapter at a time and write down new words.” Why it helps: Planning helps you keep on tasks and remember more of what you read. 1．What do we use 3 P’s for? A．Effective listening. B．Effective reading. C．Effective writing. D．Effective talking. 2．What does “previewing” help you do? A．Focus on the reading task. B．Understand new words. C．Build interest and get hints. D．Read more quickly. 3．Which of the following example is “planning”? A．“I’ll read this chapter and write down the words that I don’t know.” B．“I’m reading this science article to learn how bees help plants grow.” C．“I see the picture of colorful fish—this book is probably about ocean life.” D．“I’m reading the traveling guide book to decide where to go on my next vacation.” Passage4 When I woke up, I was surprised to discover that I was in my own room.
