期末复习之任务型阅读20篇（江苏专用） （期末热点话题） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答下列问题。 Recently, a strange but interesting trend called “keeping lobsters” has become popular among young Internet users. You might be surprised—these are not real sea lobsters. They are AI agents (AI智能体), a new kind of smart computer program that can really do tasks for people. The name comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw, whose logo is a lobster. In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions.They could not take real actions. But today, these “digital lobsters” are able to work like real helpers. After getting your permission, they can control your computer, manage files, write simple codes, send emails, and even organize meeting notes. What’s more, these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet. This new fashion shows clearly that AI is rapidly changing from a simple talking tool into a practical and helpful assistant in our daily life. 1．Where does the name “keeping lobsters” come from? 2．What are these “lobsters” mentioned in the passage? 3．What could most AI only do in the past? 4．Why do young people joke that they are “raising” a smart digital pet? 5．Do you think AI agents will be helpful in your daily life? Why or why not? 【答案】1．It comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw, whose logo is a lobster. 2．They are AI agents, a new kind of smart computer program. 3．They could only chat with people or answer simple questions. 4．Because these AI agents can learn from their habits and work independently. 5．Yes, I think so. They can help me manage my study and daily tasks efficiently. 【导语】本文主要介绍了网络热词 “养龙虾” 的由来，以及AI智能体从简单对话工具向实用生活助手的发展变化。 1．第二段第一句明确指出“The name comes from a popular AI tool called Open Claw, whose logo is a lobster.”，可直接提取答案。 2．第一段最后一句“They are AI agents, a new kind of smart computer program”，直接点明了“lobsters”的真实含义。 3．第二段提到“In the past, most AI could only chat with you or answer simple questions.”，明确了过去 AI 的能力。 4．第三段指出“these AI agents can learn from your habits and work independently. That is why young people joke that they are ‘raising’ a smart digital pet.”，直接给出了原因。 5．本题为开放性题目，答案不唯一。结合文章内容和自己对“AI 智能体”在日常生活中的看法、理由，合理即可。 阅读表达 每题答案不超过5个词 The Games of Jiangsu Province is a wonderful event held every four years in Jiangsu Province, first began in 1953.

Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013. Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ rope skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said. However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it. Whatever kind of rope Zhou used, his strict training kept him in good sporting condition. Zhou has been in the school rope skipping team for seven years. He has jumped rope for about four hours each day. He would also run around the playground to improve his physical strength. Now a high school student, Zhou said he’ll put his studies first.

This activity offers a fresh way to managing stress. Color Walk requires no complicated (复杂的) preparation or specific destination. The rules are simple: before heading out, choose a color to focus on, then walk through the streets to spot and catch everything in that color. This simple act makes a relaxing journey come true. Many people find that this type of walking helps them rediscover the small but beautiful moments in daily life. On Xiaohongshu, the hashtag #colorwalk has got over 20 million views, with users sharing their experiences and using the activity as an emotional outlet (情绪出口). Ms. Kang has trouble with stress because of overtime work. On her first Color Walk, she chose green. During the 20-minute walk, she focused only on finding green, and the sadness in her heart slowly faded away (消失). A college student used Color Walk to deal with the stress of finals week. She went out in search of bright yellow and discovered sunsets and warm yellow signs. She realized how many beauties were hidden on campus, and her mood lifted at once. In a world filled with small pieces of information daily, stress is common. Color Walk provides overworked brains and emotions a chance to reset and recover. The goal is not to pick the “right” color but to slow down through walking and searching. On busy days, give yourself 20 minutes. Let go of all your troubles and focus just on how you feel and the colors around you. This, in itself, is an important form of self-healing (自我疗愈). 1．What do people need to do before heading out for a Color Walk? 2．How many views has the hashtag #colorwalk got on Xiaohongshu? 3．Would you like to go on a color walk in your free time?

It can also make me notice the beautiful small moments in daily life and heal myself./No, I wouldn’t. Because I think it’s a little boring to just walk and look for one color. I prefer other sports like running to relax myself. (回答合理即可) 【导语】本文主要介绍了当下在国内外年轻人中流行的“色彩漫步”活动，讲述了其简单规则、流行情况以及帮助人们缓解压力、发现生活小美好、实现自我疗愈的作用。 1．文章第二段明确提到“The rules are simple: before heading out, choose a color to focus on...”，可直接提取该信息作为答案。 2．第三段直接给出“On Xiaohongshu, the hashtag #colorwalk has got over 20 million views”，为原文直接信息，直接摘抄即可。 3．本题为开放性试题，肯定回答需结合文中“缓解压力、发现生活美好、自我疗愈、操作简单”等关键信息，并说明合理理由。否定回答需结合自身喜好给出合理原因，不与文章主旨冲突即可。 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题，将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上(每题答案不超过10个词) The 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala had a very popular program. Its name is Wu BOT. In this show, humanoid robots and young martial artists perform traditional Chinese kung fu together. It soon became one of the most popular shows at this year’s gala. These robots are developed and made by Unitree Technology, a top robot company in China. The Unitree G1 robots can do very difficult actions, such as drunken boxing, nunchaku (双节棍) and parkour (跑酷). They perform on stage with students from Tagou Martial Arts School, which is one of the most famous kung fu schools in China. With high-precision control and stable design, the robots move smoothly and work well with human performers. In only one year, great progress has already been made. At the 2025 gala, these robots could only dance simple group dances. They were not able to perform difficult kung fu moves at that time. But this year, they finished difficult kung fu moves without any trouble. This big change shows how fast robot control and group work technology are developing. Wu BOT is not only an interesting stage show. It brings together traditional Chinese culture and modern technology in a creative way. It helps young people look at kung fu from a new point of view. It also lets people know about the latest development of China's humanoid robots. In the future, these technologies may be widely used in many areas, such as education, public services and daily life. 1．Who performs together with the robots on stage? 2．Why could the robots move smoothly on stage according to Paragraph 2? 3．How have the robots changed from the 2025 gala to the 2026 gala? 4．What areas may China's humanoid robot technologies be used in the future? 5．Is Wu BOT only an interesting stage show?

Have you found yourself listening to “ancient people” online recently? Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”.These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi portrait of LI Bai (AI) Rebellion (755——763). In another, Ming Dynasty  medical expert (专家) LiShizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “These videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones (声调) and always asking questions, annoys (使心烦) some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感的), which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shutong fromJiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the  same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” because of the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos and make sure they are not sharing wrong information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1．How do creative vloggers bring ancient people “back to life”? 2．What does Li Shizhen do in one video? 3．What does Wang Shutong think of these ancient people in the videos? 4．Why did Xia Boen remember almost everything they said in the videos? 5．What should we teenagers do about these videos? 【答案】1．They use AI technology. 2．He makes fun of modern lifestyles. 3．They are too pushy. 4．Because of the speaking style. 5．Be careful with wrong information. 【导语】本文主要讲述了AI技术让历史名人“复活”的视频走红，不同人对此有不同看法，提醒人们需警惕视频中的错误信息。 1．第二段直接描述了视频博主的做法“Creative vloggers are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu‘back to life’”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 2．第三段明确提到李时珍的行为“Ming Dynasty medical expert Li Shizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry water but still staying up late”，这是原文中的具体行为信息，直接提取即可。 3．第五段直接给出了王树彤的观点“‘They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were,’  said 14-year-old Wang Shutong from Jiangsu”，答案几乎是原文引述。 4．第六段明确指出了夏伯恩记住内容的原因“he ‘remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements’ because of the speaking style in the videos”，这是原文中的具体原因信息，直接提取即可。 5．最后一段直接给出了《南方日报》的提醒“we should be careful with these videos and make sure they are not sharing wrong information”，因此答案是原文直接信息。 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。 Xinjiang is home to some of China’s most beautiful attractions.

To properly recycle a plastic bottle, for example, we should pour out anything in the bottle and flatten (压平) the bottle before putting the cap back on and throwing it in the recycling bin. But that’s nothing compared to (与……相比) the recycling efforts of people in Kamikatsu, a village in southwestern Japan. The 1,500 villagers there are on a path to a zero-waste life. The Zero Waste Centre is Kamikatsu’s recycling facility (场所). There, the villagers separate their waste into 45 groups—there are nine groups for paper products alone. They clean and dry dirty items to make them ready for recycling. The village runs a reward system (奖励制度). People can collect recycling points in exchange for environmentally friendly products. There are signs that show what new items will be made from the recyclables. The village often reports how much money it has saved by working with recycling companies rather than burning all the waste. Next to the Zero Waste Centre is a special shop. There villagers can drop off items they don’t want any more, and others can take them home. This past January alone, about 450 kilograms of items were re-homed. The number is shown in the shop. In 2020, Hotel Why opened its door to the public. It is built in the shape of a question mark as if it was asking, “Why do we create so much waste?” At check-in, guests cut bars of soap to get just the amount of what they need for their stay. Each of them is given six bins to separate their waste. We can learn from the villagers of Kamikatsu. Many of their practices can be introduced into large cities to make our world a green place. 1．Why do the villagers in Kamikatsu recycle waste? 2．How many groups do they separate paper products into? 3．How do they encourage the villagers to recycle waste? 4．Where do the villagers put their items they don’t want? 5．Do you think it necessary to recycle waste? Why or why not? (本题字数不限) 【答案】1．Because they are on a path to a zero-waste life and want to make our world a green place. 2．Nine groups. 3．By running a reward system where people can exchange recycling points for eco-friendly products. 4．In a special shop next to the Zero Waste Centre. 5．Yes, I think it’s necessary because recycling helps reduce pollution and save resources. It also protects the environment for future generations. 【导语】本文主要讲述了日本上胜町村民通过精细分类回收、奖励制度和物品共享等方式实现零浪费生活的故事，并倡导大城市学习这种环保理念。 1．根据“The 1,500 villagers there are on a path to a zero-waste life.”和“Many of their practices can be introduced into large cities to make our world a green place.”可知，上胜町的村民回收垃圾是因为他们正走在零废弃生活的道路上，且希望通过这种方式助力打造绿色世界。故填Because they are on a path to a zero-waste life and want to make our world a green place. 2．根据“there are nine groups for paper products alone”可知他们将纸制品分为9类。故填Nine groups. 3．根据“The village runs a reward system (奖励制度)…in exchange for environmentally friendly products”可知他们通过奖励制度鼓励村民回收垃圾。故填By running a reward system where people can exchange recycling points for eco-friendly products. 4．根据“Next to the Zero Waste Centre is a special shop…drop off items they don’t want”可知村民会把不需要的物品放在零废物中心旁边的特殊商店里。故填In a special shop next to the Zero Waste Centre. 5．开放性试题，合理即可。参考答案：Yes, I think it’s necessary because recycling helps reduce pollution and save resources.

They don’t have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language—it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children. Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learning material! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called “Out of Mountains”. Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading and writing. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more fun, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays. The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schools in Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas. In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time a parent emailed us saying, “my child really liked the story”, it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future. 1．Why did “I” make the special English learning materials for children in mountain areas? 2．What are the three parts in the learning materials? 3．How can children get the materials? 4．What did “I” think was the hardest part? 5．What do you think of “me”?

Although some people think social media is a positive (积极的) thing, many are worried about the negative (消极的) effects it can have on young people. James, a 15-year-old student, thinks that social media has many benefits (好处). “I get very nervous when I talk to people in real life—I find it so much easier to express myself when I use social media. Another advantage is that I hardly ever forget anyone’s birthday now because I can look it up online!” Lots of users agree that social media helps young people stay connected to their friends and make new friends from around the world. However, social media also has many problems. Social media may help young people find friends, but it also makes it easier for bullies to hurt them. Some parents believe that social media makes it harder for families to spend time together. They say their children are so crazy about social media that they ignore (忽视) the rest of their family.

You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything. Well, it’s not. In fact, the human brain is much more powerful than any super computer. Imagine a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First, your eyes check out what’s going on, and then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. This is just from your brain. No computers could ever come close to that. The brain weighs just about 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling, even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just about 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of the energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). There are billions of tiny cells in your brain. There are so many that it would take you many years to count them all. Your brain stops growing when you’re about 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart. You won’t be able to fool them. Believe it or not, your brain never stops working. Even during sleep, the brain works—for long-term memory establishment. It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body after the heart that never stops during human lives. So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature. 1．What can first check out what’s going on when the glass is about to fall off the table? 2．How much does the brain weigh? 3．What does the underlined word “That” refer to in Paragraph 2? 4．When will your brain stop growing? 5．What can you learn from the last paragraph? (请自拟一句话作答) 【答案】1．Your eyes. 2．About 3 pounds./ About 2% of your body weight. 3．Around 20% of the energy in your body. 4．When you are about 18. 5．We should never stop learning. 【导语】本文通过对比计算机与人脑，强调大脑的神奇能力。尽管体积小，大脑却能控制人体所有活动，持续学习发展，并且是人体中永不停止工作的器官。 1．根据“First, your eyes check out what’s going on”可知，眼睛先观察到情况。故填Your eyes. 2．根据“The brain weighs just about 3 pounds”可知，大脑只有约3磅重；根据“Even though the brain is just about 2% of your body weight”可知，大脑只占体重的2%。故填About 3 pounds./ About 2% of your body weight. 3．根据“Even though the brain is just about 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of the energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官).”可知，尽管大脑只占你体重的2%，但它却消耗了身体约20%的能量。对于这么小的器官来说，这太大了，因此that指代前文提到的大脑消耗身体约20%的能量这件事。故填Around 20% of the energy in your body. 4．根据“Your brain stops growing when you’re about 18”可知，大脑在大约18岁时停止生长。故填When you are about 18. 5．开放性习题，言之有理即可。参考答案为We should never stop learning. 请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。 Chopsticks (or kuaizi in Chinese) are a kind of common tableware in the world.

In ancient times, the wealthy had their chopsticks made of silver, gold, jade or other precious materials. Nowadays, they are made from different materials. Although chopsticks are ordinary sticks, there is some Chinese philosophy (哲学) in them. The round end stands for the sky and the squared end stands for the earth. They are always used in pairs which is full of Chinese best wishes. Chinese like even numbers (偶数) because pair in Chinese is a very lucky word. So a pair of chopsticks can be used as the wedding gift. It means “to have a smart baby soon”. Meanwhile, there are some customs to use chopsticks while eating. Remember not to use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make a lot of noise. Never use them to point at others or to put them into rice directly.

Zhou Qi is a 17-year-old student from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Last September (2023) he broke the Guinness (吉尼斯) World Record for the most single skips (跳绳) in one minute, with a result of 374. The record had stood unbroken for ten years. Daisuke Mimura from Japan held it with 348 skips in 2013. Interestingly, Zhou’s new record is not even his personal best. “My best performance was 396 times in one minute. That was done in the 2nd Primary and Secondary School Students’ rope skipping Championship in 2020. My coach said I had already broken the world record. It was at that time that I made up my mind to apply for the Guinness World Record,” Zhou said. However, the road to success was far from smooth. For years, Zhou practised with a special steel rope designed for competition. It’s light and strong. But because of the rope he used, his first Guinness application was considered invalid (无效). After online communication with the records management team, Zhou quickly changed to a common rope recognized (认证) by the Guinness World Records. He soon got used to it.

This activity offers a fresh way to managing stress. Color Walk requires no complicated (复杂的) preparation or specific destination. The rules are simple: before heading out, choose a color to focus on, then walk through the streets to spot and catch everything in that color. This simple act makes a relaxing journey come true. Many people find that this type of walking helps them rediscover the small but beautiful moments in daily life. On Xiaohongshu, the hashtag #colorwalk has got over 20 million views, with users sharing their experiences and using the activity as an emotional outlet (情绪出口). Ms. Kang has trouble with stress because of overtime work. On her first Color Walk, she chose green. During the 20-minute walk, she focused only on finding green, and the sadness in her heart slowly faded away (消失). A college student used Color Walk to deal with the stress of finals week. She went out in search of bright yellow and discovered sunsets and warm yellow signs. She realized how many beauties were hidden on campus, and her mood lifted at once. In a world filled with small pieces of information daily, stress is common. Color Walk provides overworked brains and emotions a chance to reset and recover. The goal is not to pick the “right” color but to slow down through walking and searching. On busy days, give yourself 20 minutes. Let go of all your troubles and focus just on how you feel and the colors around you. This, in itself, is an important form of self-healing (自我疗愈). 1．What do people need to do before heading out for a Color Walk? 2．How many views has the hashtag #colorwalk got on Xiaohongshu? 3．Would you like to go on a color walk in your free time?

In this show, humanoid robots and young martial artists perform traditional Chinese kung fu together. It soon became one of the most popular shows at this year’s gala. These robots are developed and made by Unitree Technology, a top robot company in China. The Unitree G1 robots can do very difficult actions, such as drunken boxing, nunchaku (双节棍) and parkour (跑酷). They perform on stage with students from Tagou Martial Arts School, which is one of the most famous kung fu schools in China. With high-precision control and stable design, the robots move smoothly and work well with human performers. In only one year, great progress has already been made. At the 2025 gala, these robots could only dance simple group dances. They were not able to perform difficult kung fu moves at that time. But this year, they finished difficult kung fu moves without any trouble. This big change shows how fast robot control and group work technology are developing. Wu BOT is not only an interesting stage show. It brings together traditional Chinese culture and modern technology in a creative way. It helps young people look at kung fu from a new point of view. It also lets people know about the latest development of China's humanoid robots. In the future, these technologies may be widely used in many areas, such as education, public services and daily life. 1．Who performs together with the robots on stage? 2．Why could the robots move smoothly on stage according to Paragraph 2? 3．How have the robots changed from the 2025 gala to the 2026 gala? 4．What areas may China's humanoid robot technologies be used in the future? 5．Is Wu BOT only an interesting stage show?

Creative vloggers (视频博主) are using AI technology to bring famous people from history like Tang Dynasty poets Li Bai and Du Fu “back to life”.These videos have become popular, showing these ancient icons speaking in modern language. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An-Shi portrait of LI Bai (AI) Rebellion (755——763). In another, Ming Dynasty  medical expert (专家) LiShizhen makes fun of modern lifestyles like trying to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still staying up late. “These videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi, 15, from Shandong. The new trend isn’t for everyone, however. The way these ancient people speak, in high tones (声调) and always asking questions, annoys (使心烦) some people. “They’re too pushy (压迫感的), which is different from how they really were,” said 14-year-old Wang Shutong fromJiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the  same. But he was surprised to find that he “remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements” because of the speaking style in the videos. These videos use a more modern way to let ancient people “speak for themselves”. However, “we should be careful with these videos and make sure they are not sharing wrong information,” noted Nanfang Daily. 1．How do creative vloggers bring ancient people “back to life”? 2．What does Li Shizhen do in one video? 3．What does Wang Shutong think of these ancient people in the videos? 4．Why did Xia Boen remember almost everything they said in the videos? 5．What should we teenagers do about these videos? 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过8个单词。 Xinjiang is home to some of China’s most beautiful attractions. Here are three places you should not miss. Heavenly Lake of Tianshan Heavenly Lake, or “Tianchi,” lies about 100 kilometers east of Urumqi.

In winter, the frozen lake becomes a world of blue ice. Kanas Lake Kanas Lake is in northern Xinjiang. It is famous for its changing colors — sometimes green, sometimes blue. The lake is surrounded by thick forests and snowy mountains. Visitors love to hike the “Three Bays” — Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Sleeping Dragon Bay. A local legend says a “lake monster” lives deep in the water. Kashgar Old City Kashgar Old City is a living museum of Silk Road history.

To properly recycle a plastic bottle, for example, we should pour out anything in the bottle and flatten (压平) the bottle before putting the cap back on and throwing it in the recycling bin. But that’s nothing compared to (与……相比) the recycling efforts of people in Kamikatsu, a village in southwestern Japan. The 1,500 villagers there are on a path to a zero-waste life. The Zero Waste Centre is Kamikatsu’s recycling facility (场所). There, the villagers separate their waste into 45 groups—there are nine groups for paper products alone. They clean and dry dirty items to make them ready for recycling. The village runs a reward system (奖励制度). People can collect recycling points in exchange for environmentally friendly products. There are signs that show what new items will be made from the recyclables. The village often reports how much money it has saved by working with recycling companies rather than burning all the waste. Next to the Zero Waste Centre is a special shop. There villagers can drop off items they don’t want any more, and others can take them home. This past January alone, about 450 kilograms of items were re-homed. The number is shown in the shop. In 2020, Hotel Why opened its door to the public. It is built in the shape of a question mark as if it was asking, “Why do we create so much waste?” At check-in, guests cut bars of soap to get just the amount of what they need for their stay. Each of them is given six bins to separate their waste. We can learn from the villagers of Kamikatsu. Many of their practices can be introduced into large cities to make our world a green place. 1．Why do the villagers in Kamikatsu recycle waste? 2．How many groups do they separate paper products into? 3．How do they encourage the villagers to recycle waste? 4．Where do the villagers put their items they don’t want? 5．Do you think it necessary to recycle waste? Why or why not? (本题字数不限) 阅读短文，回答下面5个问题。（Answer the questions in no more than eight words) I often read about children living in the mountains of China. They don’t have enough learning resources, especially for English. I believe English is not just a language—it also gives people the chance to see the world differently. So I started thinking about what I could do for these children. Then, I came up with an idea: to make special English learning material! More than 10 classmates joined me, and we started a club called “Out of Mountains”. Our English materials have three parts: listening, reading and writing. We decided to publish them every month and send them to children by email. We also built a website so children could get information more easily. Each of us worked on one part, such as writing content, designing layouts, making illustrations and developing the website. To make the learning process more fun, we chose interesting topics for kids, like holidays. The hardest part was finding the children. I contacted schools in Liangshan, Sichuan. I also reached out to children through some WeChat official accounts. I felt nervous talking to them and was afraid of being turned down, but I did my best to share our ideas. In the end, we got the readers we had hoped for. Every time a parent emailed us saying, “my child really liked the story”, it gave us the strength to keep going. I hope our small acts can help give these kids a better future. 1．Why did “I” make the special English learning materials for children in mountain areas? 2．What are the three parts in the learning materials? 3．How can children get the materials? 4．What did “I” think was the hardest part? 5．What do you think of “me”? And why? Social media websites are communities where users can share photos and talk to each other online. They are very popular. Millions of people use social media every day. Although some people think social media is a positive (积极的) thing, many are worried about the negative (消极的) effects it can have on young people. James, a 15-year-old student, thinks that social media has many benefits (好处). “I get very nervous when I talk to people in real life—I find it so much easier to express myself when I use social media. Another advantage is that I hardly ever forget anyone’s birthday now because I can look it up online!” Lots of users agree that social media helps young people stay connected to their friends and make new friends from around the world. However, social media also has many problems. Social media may help young people find friends, but it also makes it easier for bullies to hurt them. Some parents believe that social media makes it harder for families to spend time together. They say their children are so crazy about social media that they ignore (忽视) the rest of their family. Many teachers think social media can distract (使分心) their students from schoolwork. There is no doubt that social media has some problems, and it is very important to avoid spending too much time online. However, generally speaking, social media can be a positive thing for young people. It is a way for nervous people to make friends and for young people to stay connected. 1．What are social media websites? 2．How does social media help young people in lots of users’ opinions? 3．What do the teachers think of social media? 4．Do you think social media is a positive thing or a negative thing? Why or why not? (言之有理即可) 阅读表达。阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，每小题答案不超过10个单词。 There is a special place called the Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (大熊猫繁育研究基地) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province.

In fact, the human brain is much more powerful than any super computer. Imagine a glass is just about to fall off the table. Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling. First, your eyes check out what’s going on, and then tell your brain, and your brain decides how quickly you need to react, and then your muscles go into action. This is just from your brain. No computers could ever come close to that. The brain weighs just about 3 pounds, but it controls everything you do from thinking, learning, feeling, even to breathing and your heart beating. Even though the brain is just about 2% of your body weight, it uses around 20% of the energy in your body. That is a lot for such a small organ (器官). There are billions of tiny cells in your brain. There are so many that it would take you many years to count them all. Your brain stops growing when you’re about 18, but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things. So your parents are really super smart. You won’t be able to fool them. Believe it or not, your brain never stops working. Even during sleep, the brain works—for long-term memory establishment. It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body after the heart that never stops during human lives. So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature. 1．What can first check out what’s going on when the glass is about to fall off the table? 2．How much does the brain weigh? 3．What does the underlined word “That” refer to in Paragraph 2? 4．When will your brain stop growing? 5．What can you learn from the last paragraph?

Chopsticks are also one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. There are many stories about who may have invented them. About 3000 years ago, our ancestor called Dayu who helped people fight against floods. He was always busy and often ate in the wild. To save time, he used two branches to get the food. He found this way was more convenient than using hands. People followed him to use chopsticks to eat. In fact, the earliest chopsticks were invented more than 3,000 years ago, dating back to the Shang Dynasty. Around 500 A．D．, the use of chopsticks spread from China to some countries in Asia like Japan, Vietnam and Korea. Chopsticks are usually 7 cun and 6 fen long. Cun and fen are Chinese units of measurement. 7 cun 6 fen is about 25.3333333 cm. They are round at one end and squared at the other. In ancient times, the wealthy had their chopsticks made of silver, gold, jade or other precious materials. Nowadays, they are made from different materials.

So a pair of chopsticks can be used as the wedding gift. It means “to have a smart baby soon”. Meanwhile, there are some customs to use chopsticks while eating. Remember not to use chopsticks to hit the side of your bowl or plate to make a lot of noise. Never use them to point at others or to put them into rice directly.

They did not understand me, but they understood that I was in difficulty. At first, they made signs for me to move towards them. Then, they moved closer and sent a chair down to me on a chain and pulled me up. The people on the island were friendly and accepted me but they were strange. They wore the strangest clothes. They all had their own personal man servant who carried a large balloon on the end of a stick. The servant’s job was to tap (轻拍) his master on his mouth or ear when he needed to speak or listen to something. These masters usually thought about the strangest subjects for hours and hours a day. As a result, they had no sense of practical things in life, such as speaking or listening. I later learnt that this island was called Laputa. Some people took me to speak to the king. When we arrived at his palace, the king was lost in thought and didn’t notice me. I waited for more than an hour until, finally, one of his servants tapped him on the mouth and he spoke. I didn’t understand their language and could not answer the king. One of the servants tried to tap me on the mouth with his balloon. I protested (抗议) very quickly. “I know exactly when to speak and listen,” I told them. They understood the sense of what I said.
