Here’s what we found. One of the biggest changes is that these headphones can fold. The old model could not fold, which made them hard to carry. Now they fit into a smaller case, making them perfect for travel. Sony also made the headband wider, which makes the headphones much more comfortable. This helps spread the weight better across your head. The battery life is good but not amazing. You can listen for up to 30 hours with noise cancellation on, or 40 hours with it off. The best part is that they charge (充电) very quickly. Just three minutes of charging gives you 3 hours of listening time. You can keep listening while the headphones are charging. The noise cancellation technology is excellent. Sony added four more microphones to make a total of 12 around the headphones. This helps block outside noise much better. The headphones work especially well on airplanes, blocking engine noise while you enjoy your music. The sound quality is very impressive. The bass sounds are deep and powerful, while the higher sounds are clear and detailed. Music sounds rich and full, with great balance between low and high sounds. Whether you listen to rock music, classical pieces, or podcasts, everything sounds amazing. The headphones handle different types of audio content perfectly, from quiet voices to loud drums. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are excellent. They are more comfortable, easier to carry, and sound better than many other headphones. They cost more money than basic headphones, but the quality and features make them worth buying if you love good audio. 1．Why can people carry the new headphones easily?

From September 1, the new national standards for e-bikes have taken effect. Speed ≤25km/h ·If the e-bikes go at a speed higher than 25 kilometres per hour, the motor will stop running. Other rules ·With the Beidou system, owners can check on their phone where the bike is. Besides, this function also helps with traffic management—for example, in a traffic accident involving an e-bike, the positioning data can be used to find out the accident process. ·Modifications (改装) to certain parts of e-bikes, such as the battery and speed limiter are not allowed. ·The use of rearview mirrors and turn signals is encouraged. Rearview mirrors help riders observe the traffic situation behind, while turn signals allow other road users to clearly understand where the rider wants to go. ________ ·E-bikes (including batteries) must not be more than 55 kilograms. This rule can let the bike run farther and need less charging. What’s more, it is easier for riders to control, especially in unexpected situations.

It refers to the ability of machines, especially computer systems, to do tasks that usually need human intelligence. Let’s look at how it’s used in different areas. Education In education, AI helps with personalized learning. Adaptive (适应的) learning platforms use AI to understand students’ strong points and weak points, then make tailored study plans. AI tutors can give instant feedback and explain hard ideas in easy ways. ________ Healthcare AI is making a big difference in healthcare. It can study medical images like X-rays and CT scans to find diseases such as cancer at an early stage. AI-powered chatbots can also give basic health advice and answer patients’ questions quickly. Finance The finance industry gets a lot of help from AI. It’s used for fraud (欺骗) detection—AI programs study transaction data to find unusual activities. AI also runs robo-advisors, which give investment (投资) suggestions based on users’ financial goals and how much risk they can take. Transportation AI is leading the way in transportation innovation (创新). Self-driving cars rely on AI to sense the environment, make decisions, and drive on roads safely. AI also optimizes traffic in smart cities, reducing traffic jams and making travel more efficient. Customer Service Many businesses use AI in customer service. Chatbots and online assistants can handle common questions, like checking order progress and general inquiries, all day and night. This makes responses faster and lets human workers focus on more difficult problems. 1．What does the underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refer to? A．Human intelligence.

An Extract from Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne We reached the top of the volcano (火山) before sunrise. I leaned over the edge of the big hole and looked down. I felt dizzy and my legs shook. I wasn’t used to this feeling and I didn’t know what to do. I was about to fall in when I felt a firm hand holding me back. It was our guide Hans. My uncle Professor Lidenbrock took out a rope. He threw one end of it down the big hole and tied the other end to a large rock. ‘Now Axel,’ he said, ‘let’s put our most fragile (易碎的) and important things into our backpacks.’ ‘But,’ I exclaimed, ‘what about our clothes, the ropes and the ladders?’ ‘They’ll go down themselves!’ ‘How?’ I asked. ‘Like this!’ I was used to my uncle’s impatience. He liked to do things quickly. He put all the non-fragile things into a bag and simply threw it down the hole. I heard the noise of falling stones as the bag fell down the hole. My uncle leaned over the big hole to watch the bag going down with a smile. Then he turned to me. ‘Now then,’ he cried, ‘it’ s our turn!’ ‘We might stay alive if we were mountain goats ...’ I thought to myself nervously. 1．Journey to the Centre of the Earth is probably a(n) ________.

A lot of readers ask questions about the International Space Station (ISS 国际空间站). Today, we’ve answered four of the best ones. Editor: Lily Bailey Q1: What do astronauts do on the International Space Station every day? Answer: They do a lot! They go on space walks, repair things, do experiments and communicate with Earth. But too much work isn’t good for anyone and we all need a little fun! Astronauts play games, watch movies and listen to music on it. If they get stressed, they relax by enjoying the views of our beautiful planet from space. Q2: How much exercise do astronauts do? Answer: Well, quite a lot. Take the astronaut Koichi Wakata for example. He lived on the ISS for188 days and worked out for at least two hours every day. Some astronauts go jogging! Alan Shepard played moon golf in space. British astronaut Tim Peake even ran a marathon in space in2016 and set a Guinness World Record. Q3: Does the body change in space? Answer: Yes, it does. Everything in space floats. Imagine sneezing (打喷嚏) in space! This means it’s easy to lift things. Astronauts train a lot on Earth, but their bodies get weak if they don’t do enough exercise. And this can happen in just a few weeks! These are only a few examples of the problems astronauts can have. Their muscles and hearts lose strength and their bones get weaker. Sometimes, when they get back to Earth, they’re not strong enough to walk! The answer is exercise and not just a little exercise but a lot! Q4: When and how do astronauts sleep? Answer: Good question. We all need to get enough sleep, but in space, with 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every 24 hours, that’s not easy. Too many changes from day to night make it difficult to know when to sleep. So astronauts have very strict routines and wear special blindfolds to keep from light. 1．Astronauts do a lot of work on the ISS except ________. A．going on space walks B．repairing equipment C．playing games outside D．conducting experiments 2．________ set a Guinness World Record for marathon in space. A．Lily Bailey B．Koichi Wakata C．Alan Shepard D．Tim Peake 3．The underlined word “this” in the third answer refers to ________. A．doing enough exercise B．sneezing in space C．making the body weak D．training on Earth 4．To reduce the harm of space activities on the body, astronauts should ________.

A．special tools to block sunlight B．soft clothes to keep warm C．glasses to help see clearly D．headphones to listen to sound 6．Lily Bailey answered the four questions to ________.

Here’s what we found. One of the biggest changes is that these headphones can fold. The old model could not fold, which made them hard to carry. Now they fit into a smaller case, making them perfect for travel. Sony also made the headband wider, which makes the headphones much more comfortable. This helps spread the weight better across your head. The battery life is good but not amazing. You can listen for up to 30 hours with noise cancellation on, or 40 hours with it off. The best part is that they charge (充电) very quickly. Just three minutes of charging gives you 3 hours of listening time. You can keep listening while the headphones are charging. The noise cancellation technology is excellent. Sony added four more microphones to make a total of 12 around the headphones. This helps block outside noise much better. The headphones work especially well on airplanes, blocking engine noise while you enjoy your music. The sound quality is very impressive. The bass sounds are deep and powerful, while the higher sounds are clear and detailed. Music sounds rich and full, with great balance between low and high sounds. Whether you listen to rock music, classical pieces, or podcasts, everything sounds amazing. The headphones handle different types of audio content perfectly, from quiet voices to loud drums. Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are excellent. They are more comfortable, easier to carry, and sound better than many other headphones. They cost more money than basic headphones, but the quality and features make them worth buying if you love good audio. 1．Why can people carry the new headphones easily? A．they can fold B．the headbands are wider C．they are lighter D．they cancel a lot of noise 2．How long can you use the headphones if you turn on noise cancellation? A．3 hours. B．12 hours. C．30 hours. D．40 hours. 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The headphones can’t be used while charging. B．The headphones have 8 microphones in total. C．The headphones are especially suitable for air travel. D．The battery life is the best of the headphones. 4．The underlined word “handle” in paragraph 5 probably means ________. A．take hold of B．keep off C．go through D．deal with 5．The new headphones are worth buying NOT because they ________. A．are easier to carry B．have excellent sound quality C．are more comfortable D．are much cheaper 6．The writer’s main purpose is to ________. A．compare different headphone companies B．introduce the features of new headphones C．explain how noise cancellation works D．teach readers how to use headphones 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．D 5．D 6．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了索尼新款降噪耳机XM6的改进特点，包括可折叠设计、更舒适的宽头带、快速充电、出色的降噪效果和音质，强调其适合旅行且性能卓越。 1．推理判断题。根据“One of the biggest changes is that these headphones can fold. The old model could not fold, which made them hard to carry.”可知，新耳机携带方便，是因为它们可以折叠，故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“You can listen for up to 30 hours with noise cancellation on, or 40 hours with it off.”可知，如果你打开噪音消除，你可以使用这个耳机30个小时，故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“The headphones work especially well on airplanes, blocking engine noise while you enjoy your music.”可知，这种耳机特别适合乘飞机旅行。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据“from quiet voices to loud drums”可知，此处表示这款耳机可以完美地处理不同类型的音频内容，从安静的声音到响亮的鼓声。handle=deal with“处理”，故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据“They are more comfortable, easier to carry, and sound better than many other headphones. They cost more money than basic headphones, but the quality and features make them worth buying if you love good audio.”可知，这款新耳机更舒适，更容易携带，并且比许多其他耳机听起来更好。它们比普通耳机贵，但如果你喜欢好的音频，它们的质量和功能值得购买。因此D项“更便宜”不是这款新耳机值得买的原因。故选D。 6．推理判断题。根据“Overall, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones are excellent. They are more comfortable, easier to carry, and sound better than many other headphones.”可知，本文主要目的是介绍新耳机的特点，故选B。 New Rules for E-bikes in China Do you ride an electric bicycle (e-bike) to school in the morning? From September 1, the new national standards for e-bikes have taken effect. Speed ≤25km/h ·If the e-bikes go at a speed higher than 25 kilometres per hour, the motor will stop running. Other rules ·With the Beidou system, owners can check on their phone where the bike is. Besides, this function also helps with traffic management—for example, in a traffic accident involving an e-bike, the positioning data can be used to find out the accident process. ·Modifications (改装) to certain parts of e-bikes, such as the battery and speed limiter are not allowed. ·The use of rearview mirrors and turn signals is encouraged. Rearview mirrors help riders observe the traffic situation behind, while turn signals allow other road users to clearly understand where the rider wants to go. ________ ·E-bikes (including batteries) must not be more than 55 kilograms. This rule can let the bike run farther and need less charging. What’s more, it is easier for riders to control, especially in unexpected situations. Age rule ·People who ride electric bikes must be no younger than 16. Kids under 16 can’t ride them on public roads. They don’t have enough skills and experiences to deal with busy traffic. Besides, people over 12 years old are not allowed to be carried on e-bikes as this will make the bike too heavy and dangerous to drive. Helmet wearing requirement ·Riders and passengers (if any) must wear safety helmets when riding. Helmets are the most useful protective equipment to reduce head injuries in an accident fall or crash. 1．What’s the speed limit for e-bikes? A．12 kilometres per hour. B．16 kilometres per hour.

B．Because they aren’t prepared to deal with busy traffic. C．Because they don’t have enough skills to carry other kids. D．Because too many e-riders on the road may cause busy traffic. 4．The underlined word “equipment” means ________. A．tools used for a certain purpose B．money needed to buy something C．people who operate a machine D．place where something is made 5．The Beidou system can help e-riders ________. A．avoid traffic accidents B．observe the traffic situation C．manage modification of e-bikes D．find the location of the e-bikes 6．What’s the purpose of these rules? A．To stop kids from driving e-bikes.

They are famous for their fresh noodles, rich broth (浓汤) and delicious ingredients. To make a bowl, the process has more than a hundred steps, according to the China Intangible Cultural Heritage (中国非物质文化遗产) Site. These steps fall into four main parts: preparing fresh rice noodles, making the broth, getting pickled dishes (腌菜) ready and finally mixing everything well.

Then, hit it repeatedly over and over again.”可知，过滤大米后，把混合物做成面团，然后反复捶打这个面团，所以it指代the dough。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据文章“Make the broth”部分“Boil herbs and spices with bones and meat to make a rich broth.”可知，该步骤是用草药、香料、骨头和肉一起熬煮浓汤。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据文章“The Best Way to Eat Dry Guilin Rice Noodles”部分的步骤：Stir the noodles all around（搅拌）→Take a deep breath of the nice smell（闻香味）→enjoy（吃）→Have a bit of the light soup（喝汤），对应的顺序是Mix—Smell—Eat—Drink。故选A。 5．词句猜测题。根据文章“All done!”部分“Drain the water, then top the dry rice noodles with the broth and side dishes.”可知，要先处理掉米粉里的水，才能做成干捞米粉，“Pour off”意为倒掉，符合语境；Take in吸收，Turn into变成，Clean out清理干净，均不符合。故选D。 6．推理判断题。本文介绍的桂林米粉是中国非物质文化遗产，和地方饮食文化相关，适合刊登在报纸的“Culture & Tourism”（文化与旅游）板块；Local News意为本地新闻，School Life意为校园生活，Science & Technology意为科技，均不契合主题。故选D。 提升培优限时练 ①                                 Electric cars on sale                               Our company is glad to work with the community committee and make green living more affordable.

Now in Rotorua, New Zealand, our fantastic canopy tour makes your dream come true. This once-in-a-lifetime experience lets you fly across ziplines at speeds of up to 80 km/h. Starting from platforms 18 metres high in the trees, you’ll fly from one tree to the next. Between flights, you’ ll cross swing bridges and special walkways, discovering the beautiful treetop world. Our ziplines were built in a very special forest in New Zealand. It is one of the country’s last ancient forests that remains untouched. After years of hard work to restore (修复) it, the forest is now alive with local birds. This area is incredibly wild, beautiful, and carefully protected. Along the way, you may hand feed curious Robins, learn the secrets of the forest and meet the guides. Our guides are like superheroes, who keep you safe, make you laugh and love what they do. We keep our groups small to provide a more personal, safe, and engaging adventure for everyone. Choose our canopy tour, and you will explore below the surface and high above the trees, learn about the past, and become part of the future. This is a truly unique adventure.

With every canopy tour you take, you directly donate to our program of helping the forest.

Axel is the one who tells the story. In Chapter 14, they find the entrance to the Earth’s centre. An Extract from Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne We reached the top of the volcano (火山) before sunrise. I leaned over the edge of the big hole and looked down. I felt dizzy and my legs shook. I wasn’t used to this feeling and I didn’t know what to do. I was about to fall in when I felt a firm hand holding me back. It was our guide Hans. My uncle Professor Lidenbrock took out a rope. He threw one end of it down the big hole and tied the other end to a large rock. ‘Now Axel,’ he said, ‘let’s put our most fragile (易碎的) and important things into our backpacks.’ ‘But,’ I exclaimed, ‘what about our clothes, the ropes and the ladders?’ ‘They’ll go down themselves!’ ‘How?’ I asked. ‘Like this!’ I was used to my uncle’s impatience. He liked to do things quickly. He put all the non-fragile things into a bag and simply threw it down the hole. I heard the noise of falling stones as the bag fell down the hole. My uncle leaned over the big hole to watch the bag going down with a smile. Then he turned to me. ‘Now then,’ he cried, ‘it’ s our turn!’ ‘We might stay alive if we were mountain goats ...’ I thought to myself nervously. 1．Journey to the Centre of the Earth is probably a(n) ________.

It looks fun, right? But is it? A lot of readers ask questions about the International Space Station (ISS 国际空间站). Today, we’ve answered four of the best ones. Editor: Lily Bailey Q1: What do astronauts do on the International Space Station every day? Answer: They do a lot! They go on space walks, repair things, do experiments and communicate with Earth. But too much work isn’t good for anyone and we all need a little fun! Astronauts play games, watch movies and listen to music on it. If they get stressed, they relax by enjoying the views of our beautiful planet from space. Q2: How much exercise do astronauts do? Answer: Well, quite a lot. Take the astronaut Koichi Wakata for example. He lived on the ISS for188 days and worked out for at least two hours every day. Some astronauts go jogging! Alan Shepard played moon golf in space. British astronaut Tim Peake even ran a marathon in space in2016 and set a Guinness World Record. Q3: Does the body change in space? Answer: Yes, it does. Everything in space floats. Imagine sneezing (打喷嚏) in space! This means it’s easy to lift things. Astronauts train a lot on Earth, but their bodies get weak if they don’t do enough exercise. And this can happen in just a few weeks! These are only a few examples of the problems astronauts can have. Their muscles and hearts lose strength and their bones get weaker. Sometimes, when they get back to Earth, they’re not strong enough to walk! The answer is exercise and not just a little exercise but a lot! Q4: When and how do astronauts sleep? Answer: Good question. We all need to get enough sleep, but in space, with 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets every 24 hours, that’s not easy. Too many changes from day to night make it difficult to know when to sleep. So astronauts have very strict routines and wear special blindfolds to keep from light. 1．Astronauts do a lot of work on the ISS except ________. A．going on space walks B．repairing equipment C．playing games outside D．conducting experiments 2．________ set a Guinness World Record for marathon in space. A．Lily Bailey B．Koichi Wakata C．Alan Shepard D．Tim Peake 3．The underlined word “this” in the third answer refers to ________. A．doing enough exercise B．sneezing in space C．making the body weak D．training on Earth 4．To reduce the harm of space activities on the body, astronauts should ________. A．lift things often B．do a lot of exercise in space C．sneeze carefully D．avoid lifting heavy things 5．The underlined word “blindfolds” means ________ in the passage. A．special tools to block sunlight B．soft clothes to keep warm C．glasses to help see clearly D．headphones to listen to sound 6．Lily Bailey answered the four questions to ________. A．explain how the ISS was built B．introduce the life on the ISS C．describe the history of space exploration D．list the countries that built the ISS 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．B 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章通过问答的形式，介绍了宇航员在国际空间站（ISS）的日常生活，包括他们的工作内容、运动量、身体变化以及睡眠情况。 1．细节理解题。根据Q1的回答“They go on space walks, repair things, do experiments and communicate with Earth…Astronauts play games, watch movies and listen to music on it.”可知，宇航员在空间站内玩游戏，而不是“在外面（outside）玩”。选项C“playing games outside”与原文不符。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据Q2的回答“British astronaut Tim Peake even ran a marathon in space in 2016 and set a Guinness World Record.”可知，创下吉尼斯世界纪录的是Tim Peake。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据Q3的回答中“...but their bodies get weak if they don’t do enough exercise. And this can happen in just a few weeks!”可知，“this”指的是前一句提到的身体变虚弱这件事，即“making the body weak”。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据Q3的回答最后一句“The answer is exercise and not just a little exercise but a lot!”可知，为了减少太空活动对身体的伤害，宇航员需要进行大量的锻炼。故选B。 5．词句猜测题。根据Q4的回答可知，太空中每24小时有16次日出日落，光线频繁变化影响睡眠，因此宇航员“wear special blindfolds to keep from light”。“blindfolds”原意为“眼罩”，在此语境中指遮光的眼罩，用于阻挡光线以助眠。选项A“special tools to block sunlight”最贴近其功能。故选A。 6．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Lily Bailey回答的四个问题分别涉及了宇航员的日常工作、锻炼、身体变化和睡眠，这些都是关于在国际空间站上的生活介绍。故选B。 Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案) How to Apply: Please prepare a short introduction about yourself and why you want to join the play.
