Otherwise, sometimes we will feel sad. What’s more, sleep also influences our study or work. You might be asleep but part of your brain is not. It’s carefully keeping time for you. In the morning, a thing called PER is released (释放), which slowly wakes you up, often right before your alarm clock is set to go off. Sleep-talking can include some broken noises or complete sentences. About 5 percent of adults do it. It happens to children more often. And fever, stress, worries or sadness may lead to it. Most people grind (磨碎) their teeth while they are asleep, at least sometimes. An unusual bite or even sleep apnea (窒息) may lead to this habit. Most people are not aware of this until the doctor tells them. If you harm your teeth at night, your dentist can give you a mouth guard to prevent it. You think you’re resting, but your brain is doing some serious housekeeping every single night. While you are asleep, your brain clears out some memories and organizes others again. The brain also cleans itself and moves away unnecessary and harmful things. Your muscles (肌肉) are frozen for part of every night. In fact, it’s okay to be paralyzed (瘫痪的) during sleep. During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, your brain is busy dreaming. To prevent yourself from acting to the dreams, our body’s muscles will be paralyzed. It’s possible to wake up during the end of this cycle and be awake but unable to move. These usually pass quickly. Each night you lose about a pound because of the water vapor (蒸汽) while breathing. So it is the most pleasant for you to weigh yourself in the morning. Take advantage of it! Title: What our bodies are 1 with at night Importance of sleep Sleep 2 our work, study as well as our moods.

Solar energy is energy from the sun. Solar energy is more than enough and clean, producing no greenhouse gases during operation. In 2023, solar energy is made up of 74% of renewable energy worldwide. It uses sunlight to create electricity or warm air and water. In the future, solar energy is expected to play an important role in meeting the world’s energy needs. What is wind energy? Big machines called wind turbines (涡轮) help make the wind’s power. Most wind farms, where many turbines are seen, are on land, but some are built in the ocean too! The electricity a wind farm can make depends on two things: the blowing speed of the wind and the numbers of the turbines on the farm. It’s like having more friends to help you blow up many balloons — more wind means more power! Wind turbine technology continues to improve, so wind energy will continue to grow and become an important part. What is geothermal (地热) energy? Geothermal energy comes from the heat under the Earth’s surface. It can be used to make electricity to heat or cool buildings. However, geothermal energy can be found in certain areas where there is geothermal heat. The special place to find geothermal energy is called the Ring of Fire. It is known for having many earthquakes. What is tidal (潮汐) energy? Tidal energy is like magic from the ocean! The water in the sea moves and then makes the special energy. Do you know that three billion people live close to the coastline? That’s almost half of all the people in the world! It’s smart to use tidal energy because it can help provide power to all those people while being friendly to our planet. The energy landscape is changing rapidly. In the future, it is possible that renewable energy will master the energy market, offering clean power in the future!

Four years ago, she finally decided to give up her job. She did it not because she hated her job, but because her job was getting in the way of her true love. She has been interested in Chongming traditional fabric (织物), made from cotton and colored with plant dyes (染料) since she was a girl. She learned how to weave (缝织) the cloth from her mother. Before leaving her job, Song had been using her after-work time to design, sew and weave everything with her own hands. At first, the small items she made became a hit in the office. “When the things you make are liked by others, you’ll find yourself enjoying doing more and more,” Song said. Later, her name spread and she soon found that many women on the island were into handicrafts (手工艺品) like her. Her childhood playmates, friends and even strangers joined her. A turning point came when Song and her team were having a small exhibition in a park. A crowd of people were around them to see what they were doing. Not long after that, she decided to make Chongming Traditional Fabric official. Cotton-Tree Flowers Bloom Workshop was set up in 2013. And her workshop became a place filled with happiness. By designing and making all kinds of cloth items and selling them, the women have had a sense of achievement and have also found their own value. Soon, more and more women joined. Besides bringing tourists to their workshop to watch the process of making Chongming traditional fabric, Song started to give free classes to poor groups. They started Mama Moon Single Mothers’ Club, a training program for single mothers. They started Happiness on Fingertips, another program for people with disabilities. Running the club has enabled Song who was very shy to do something she could never do before, such as communicating with all kinds of people. Song considers the workshop as a symbol of independence and she hopes it will help more women to fight for a better life on their own.

However any old activity does not do the right job, every activity should be useful and helpful and of course, enjoyable. So what matters when we make the decision as to what our youngster is going to take part in? Above all, you should know what you expect your child to learn from the activity, for example, learning how to play a musical instrument, how to draw or whatever. Any activity should be a challenge to a child. Taking on the challenge and achievement can help a quiet or shy child become more confident. Safety must be the most important thing that you should consider of any activity. But remember nothing can be made to be 100% safe and still be interesting. You should talk to an instructor and ask questions before deciding, this is the course you want your child to be part of. Be careful of the activity itself with too much competition because that can cause problems and kill off enjoyment. Do not forget that this is costing you money so try to be sure that you are getting value for it. Of course there’s no doubt that discussing things with your child first is also a good idea. Parents have different opinions about it though. On the one hand there are those who decide all the things for the child and adults make the running. On the other hand there are those who much prefer to leave the child to choose on his or her own and decide what they want to do during their holiday. Some say that the second method encourages children to better think for themselves and that the first makes them depend more on adults. Only you can decide which one you are and which is the best for you and your child. Remember that you are only young once and childhood will be gone soon forever. All work and no play is not the idea. Successful after-school activities 1 After-school activities can be wonderful and educational. After-school activities should be of some use, help and 2 . Purpose You should know what your child is 3 to learn if he or she takes part in an activity. Challenging activities and achievement can 4 a quiet or shy child’s confidence. Safety It’s always 5 that there is some danger in different activities. Ask an instructor for advice before making decisions. 6 activities with too much competition. Discuss things with your child first. Two types of parents Some parents believe 7 should be decided for the child, and that makes their child more dependent on. Others let the child make his or her own 8 and decisions, making them an independent child. Conclusion Precious childhood, once gone, 9 come back. All work 10 play is not the good idea. 根据对话内容在文章后表格中的空白处填入一个最恰当的词，每空一词。 Mr Wu is interviewing some Grade Nine students for a class project called Animal World. Mr Wu: Some animals like living in groups, others don’t. Which is better, and which type would you be? Simon: I’d be a zebra! Group living means better protection against enemies. Mr Wu: And why a zebra? Simon: If enemies went for me, my buddies would circle around me and drive them away. Plus, I look smart in stripes! Oh, did I mention zebras travel in huge numbers? I won’t get lonely any more. Rhona: Well, I’d be in an elephant community. Making friends is much easier and females help to look after each other’s babies. Scientists also discover animals that live in groups have longer lives than others. Mr Wu: Would you be an elephant or a zebra, Amy? Amy: I might be an insect, instead. One of the worker bees that care for the young. I also love how the bees huddle (依偎) together to stay warm over winter. Rusty: Well, I’m not a team player. The other kids at the football field called me a hog today. Mr Wu: Adult male pigs do keep to themselves. Rusty: They meant I was a ball hog. But if I pass the ball, how can I score all the goals? Charlie: You know, I’d rather go alone. Simon: Really, Charlie——with no friends to protect you? Charlie: Skunks (臭鼬) don’t need groups to protect them. They shoot their stink spray (臭液)—that could be fun. And a big group might attract enemies. It’s easier to stay hidden if there’s only one of you. And animal groups seem fine if you’re a leader but less cool if you’re just a member. Mr Wu: There are often fights for higher levels in the group. Charlie: And fights for partners or food, too. I’m not competitive—and I’d hate getting hurt. And you’re more likely to get ill in a group—disease could spread fast, too. Simon: So, which is better? Mr Wu: It depends on the environment and animal. Either being alone or being in a group can help you survive. Are animals better to live alone or in 1 ? For living in groups Simon ·Zebras work in groups to 2 themselves and keep away from enemies. ·I won’t get lonely 3 zebras travel in huge numbers. Rhona ·Elephants are friendly and 4 . For example, female elephants care for others’ babies. ·It’s said group living animals live 5 . Amy ·Worker bees share their 6 to go through winter. For living alone Rusty ·Though called a ball hog, I won’t pass the ball, or I will lose the 7 to score the goals. Charlie ·Skunks 8 work in a team, because they can use stink spray to attack. ·A big group attracts enemies more easily than a 9 one. ·Living in a group, I have to 10 for everything and get ill more easily. Conclusion Mr Wu ·It depends, only if it helps you survive. 根据对话内容在文章后表格中的空白处填入一个最恰当的词，每空一词。 Life is filled with regrets. Anyone around you will have no difficulty telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets? Make better plans It’s better for you to make a plan before you start to do something. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. When changes happen, you may have more time to deal with them. Live a more active life You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can relax yourself and make you active. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t show your anger to others.

For thousands of years, humans have been making music for pleasure and to express themselves. Recently, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create music. AI makes music by analyzing (分析) many different songs, learning patterns and details, and then mixing pieces together in creative ways. Some AI music has become so popular that it has been shared widely online. However, some people think using AI to create music isn’t truly original (原创的) or creative because it makes songs out of old music. What do you think? Is AI bad for creativity? Yes—AI music isn’t creative. Using AI might be cheaper than paying a musician. If companies can use AI to produce popular music that makes lots of money from people buying and listening to it, it could put musicians out of work. If musicians can’t earn money from music, there will be far fewer of them creating new songs. Anyway, listening to music that was made by a computer isn’t the same experience as listening to human-made music. When musicians create songs, they put real feelings and experiences into their work, which builds a deep connection with listeners through their music. Music produced by AI isn’t truly original, as it simply takes pieces from songs that have already been published. Therefore, it cannot be considered creative. No—AI can help spark(激发) new ideas. When people turn on their radio or headphones and a great new song comes on, it makes them feel good. A catchy tune (曲调) brings people together to sing and dance. If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine? Music makers already use computers, which help to perfect sound and mix different parts of a song. Like computers, AI can also help spark ideas. It won’t replace (取代) musicians but they can work with it. Building on music created by AI could save time. It could allow lots more music to be produced and it could lead to new and special styles of music. AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of. Is AI bad for new music? Background Humans have a long 71 of creating music for fun and self-expression. But now, some people use AI to create music, which has caused a 72 about creativity. Agreement AI music isn’t creative.● AI costs less than hiring a musician, so it could take 73 from real musicians. ● AI music seldom shares real feelings and experiences, so it’s 74 for it to connect with listeners than human music does. ● AI music takes pieces from old songs, which may 75 it from being creative. Disagreement AI can help spark new ideas.● Whether the music is created by humans or AI doesn’t 76 if people enjoy it. ● AI can be also used as a 77 to spark new ideas. ● AI pushes music 78 human limits and opens up new ideas. Further thinking ● What English skills can AI help you learn? 79 ● How can it help? 80 阅读下面一段短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。 I always knew that I depended too much on my phone. But I didn’t know how much, so I decided to do this challenge to find out. Every morning since I got a smartphone, I’ve used The Weather Channel App to give me a choice about what to wear. On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but thankfully I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window. I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a watch for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. As a result, I was late for picking up friends who had been on the bus for two hours. I was also late for my part-time job. And even worse, I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late. Getting places was harder, too. I lost my way because I couldn’t use the GPS on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot safer because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while driving with the other. But the number one trouble was not having my contact list. I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I started the challenge. I suddenly realized that I couldn’t remember my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers! Even with all the problems, however, I found peace not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail. This challenge was a great experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the things like remembering phone numbers. We are all supposed to try to depend less on our cell phones.

I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat, and after losing weight, shamed for being fit. Sarah Moore is a 29-year-old mother of three children from Indiana, US. She became a personal trainer after losing more than 45 kg. She remembers the fat-shaming that happened to her before her weight loss. When waiting to get on a roller coaster, people behind her were complaining about the wait, and the person who worked there said, “Don’t worry. She’s probably not going to fit on here, and you’ll be next.” But after losing weight, Moore said people commented (评论) on her body even more. “Now I get comments like, ‘Are you sure you can eat that?’ I think they’re worried I’ll get the weight back,” she said. How does it make her feel? “Fat-shaming brought me sadness and I couldn’t get any help. Fit-shaming makes me feel angry,” she said. Changes in body weight can also influence relationships. It can break the balance because people who lose weight can not only become more confident but also be the envy of others. Fit-shaming has been more difficult to deal with for Andrea Sereda, a 38-year-old social worker in Canada. She said judgement of her body is something she’s faced for years. Sereda said that when she was 9, her grandfather said to her at a birthday party, “I don’t think you should eat cake,” and made comments about how many calories each bite had inside as she ate it. The judgement of Sereda’s body increased after she lost 57 kg. Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively(消极的)with Sereda’s new body type. “I am afraid of going out and having to deal with all these comments,” Sereda said. Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight, it doesn’t make them fair game (可抨击的对象) for comments on their new shapes. Everyone should live free of being body shamed, paying no attention to how they look. Shamed for being fat or 91 Examples Sarah Moore Andrea Sereda Before losing weight Someone 92 whether she could fit on the roller coaster. At a party, her grandfather 93 her eating cake. 94 losing weight People made even 95 comments on her body. It was not pleasant for her friends to 96 her new body type with their own. The two women’s 97 She used to feel sad and 98 for being fat and is angry for being fit now. She was afraid to 99 out and deal with all these comments. The writer’s ideas ·We’d better not comment on those who have lost weight. ·We should live 100 having shame for our body. 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。 A national survey was carried out in Australia on how children aged eight to sixteen read news. The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not. Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地) think about the news. To help decide if a source (来源) can be trusted, they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization about why and how they created the story. Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, they should have the chance to reply to these opinions. Some media may make use of people’s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks. News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help build their critical thinking skills. News that can be trusted is important to society. People depend on it to help make decisions in lives. Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is a challenge for everyone at present. Listening to children’s experiences is a valuable starting point for improving their critical thinking abilities.

It begins on the day when the Sun is exactly at the longitude (经度) of 75°. This year, Grain is on June 5th. The arrival of Grain in Ear means the ripening (成熟) of crops such as wheat. It is also a busy period for farmers. There is a saying that goes, “Getting busy with farm work in Grain in Ear,” which is popular in many provinces. Grain in Ear is especially important for planting rice. During this period, crops like wheat all get ripe (成熟的) and are waiting to be harvested. In Chinese, “Grain in Ear” is called Mang Zhong. Mang means being busy with grains. It also means the farmer is getting back to the busy field work. During this period, the areas around the Yangtze River enter the rainy season. Sensing the wetness, insects come out and birds start to sing. Welcome the god (神) of flowers In ancient times, people welcomed the god of flowers with the Flower Festival on the second day of the second lunar month. Flowers begin to wither (凋谢) before Grain in Ear. People usually hold ceremonies (仪式) to worship (祭祀) the god of flowers on the first day of Grain in Ear, and express thanks to the god of flowers, hoping to meet again next year.

Otherwise, sometimes we will feel sad. What’s more, sleep also influences our study or work. You might be asleep but part of your brain is not. It’s carefully keeping time for you. In the morning, a thing called PER is released (释放), which slowly wakes you up, often right before your alarm clock is set to go off. Sleep-talking can include some broken noises or complete sentences. About 5 percent of adults do it. It happens to children more often. And fever, stress, worries or sadness may lead to it. Most people grind (磨碎) their teeth while they are asleep, at least sometimes. An unusual bite or even sleep apnea (窒息) may lead to this habit. Most people are not aware of this until the doctor tells them. If you harm your teeth at night, your dentist can give you a mouth guard to prevent it. You think you’re resting, but your brain is doing some serious housekeeping every single night. While you are asleep, your brain clears out some memories and organizes others again. The brain also cleans itself and moves away unnecessary and harmful things. Your muscles (肌肉) are frozen for part of every night. In fact, it’s okay to be paralyzed (瘫痪的) during sleep. During rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, your brain is busy dreaming. To prevent yourself from acting to the dreams, our body’s muscles will be paralyzed. It’s possible to wake up during the end of this cycle and be awake but unable to move. These usually pass quickly. Each night you lose about a pound because of the water vapor (蒸汽) while breathing. So it is the most pleasant for you to weigh yourself in the morning. Take advantage of it! Title: What our bodies are 1 with at night Importance of sleep Sleep 2 our work, study as well as our moods.

ORG sets the theme for Earth Day, which is on April 22. This year’s theme is called Our Power, Our Planet, championing renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy that will never run out. Here is a guide to each energy source and how they can help us make electricity. No matter you are a student or a teacher, consider using our free guides! What is solar energy? Solar energy is energy from the sun. Solar energy is more than enough and clean, producing no greenhouse gases during operation. In 2023, solar energy is made up of 74% of renewable energy worldwide. It uses sunlight to create electricity or warm air and water. In the future, solar energy is expected to play an important role in meeting the world’s energy needs. What is wind energy? Big machines called wind turbines (涡轮) help make the wind’s power. Most wind farms, where many turbines are seen, are on land, but some are built in the ocean too! The electricity a wind farm can make depends on two things: the blowing speed of the wind and the numbers of the turbines on the farm. It’s like having more friends to help you blow up many balloons — more wind means more power! Wind turbine technology continues to improve, so wind energy will continue to grow and become an important part. What is geothermal (地热) energy? Geothermal energy comes from the heat under the Earth’s surface. It can be used to make electricity to heat or cool buildings. However, geothermal energy can be found in certain areas where there is geothermal heat. The special place to find geothermal energy is called the Ring of Fire. It is known for having many earthquakes. What is tidal (潮汐) energy? Tidal energy is like magic from the ocean! The water in the sea moves and then makes the special energy. Do you know that three billion people live close to the coastline? That’s almost half of all the people in the world! It’s smart to use tidal energy because it can help provide power to all those people while being friendly to our planet. The energy landscape is changing rapidly. In the future, it is possible that renewable energy will master the energy market, offering clean power in the future!

However any old activity does not do the right job, every activity should be useful and helpful and of course, enjoyable. So what matters when we make the decision as to what our youngster is going to take part in? Above all, you should know what you expect your child to learn from the activity, for example, learning how to play a musical instrument, how to draw or whatever. Any activity should be a challenge to a child. Taking on the challenge and achievement can help a quiet or shy child become more confident. Safety must be the most important thing that you should consider of any activity. But remember nothing can be made to be 100% safe and still be interesting. You should talk to an instructor and ask questions before deciding, this is the course you want your child to be part of. Be careful of the activity itself with too much competition because that can cause problems and kill off enjoyment. Do not forget that this is costing you money so try to be sure that you are getting value for it. Of course there’s no doubt that discussing things with your child first is also a good idea. Parents have different opinions about it though. On the one hand there are those who decide all the things for the child and adults make the running. On the other hand there are those who much prefer to leave the child to choose on his or her own and decide what they want to do during their holiday. Some say that the second method encourages children to better think for themselves and that the first makes them depend more on adults. Only you can decide which one you are and which is the best for you and your child. Remember that you are only young once and childhood will be gone soon forever. All work and no play is not the idea. Successful after-school activities 1 After-school activities can be wonderful and educational. After-school activities should be of some use, help and 2 .

Mr Wu: Some animals like living in groups, others don’t. Which is better, and which type would you be? Simon: I’d be a zebra! Group living means better protection against enemies. Mr Wu: And why a zebra? Simon: If enemies went for me, my buddies would circle around me and drive them away. Plus, I look smart in stripes! Oh, did I mention zebras travel in huge numbers? I won’t get lonely any more. Rhona: Well, I’d be in an elephant community. Making friends is much easier and females help to look after each other’s babies. Scientists also discover animals that live in groups have longer lives than others. Mr Wu: Would you be an elephant or a zebra, Amy? Amy: I might be an insect, instead. One of the worker bees that care for the young. I also love how the bees huddle (依偎) together to stay warm over winter. Rusty: Well, I’m not a team player. The other kids at the football field called me a hog today. Mr Wu: Adult male pigs do keep to themselves. Rusty: They meant I was a ball hog. But if I pass the ball, how can I score all the goals? Charlie: You know, I’d rather go alone. Simon: Really, Charlie——with no friends to protect you? Charlie: Skunks (臭鼬) don’t need groups to protect them. They shoot their stink spray (臭液)—that could be fun. And a big group might attract enemies. It’s easier to stay hidden if there’s only one of you. And animal groups seem fine if you’re a leader but less cool if you’re just a member. Mr Wu: There are often fights for higher levels in the group. Charlie: And fights for partners or food, too. I’m not competitive—and I’d hate getting hurt. And you’re more likely to get ill in a group—disease could spread fast, too. Simon: So, which is better? Mr Wu: It depends on the environment and animal. Either being alone or being in a group can help you survive. Are animals better to live alone or in 1 ? For living in groups Simon ·Zebras work in groups to 2 themselves and keep away from enemies. ·I won’t get lonely 3 zebras travel in huge numbers. Rhona ·Elephants are friendly and 4 .

For thousands of years, humans have been making music for pleasure and to express themselves. Recently, there has been a rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create music. AI makes music by analyzing (分析) many different songs, learning patterns and details, and then mixing pieces together in creative ways. Some AI music has become so popular that it has been shared widely online. However, some people think using AI to create music isn’t truly original (原创的) or creative because it makes songs out of old music. What do you think? Is AI bad for creativity? Yes—AI music isn’t creative. Using AI might be cheaper than paying a musician. If companies can use AI to produce popular music that makes lots of money from people buying and listening to it, it could put musicians out of work. If musicians can’t earn money from music, there will be far fewer of them creating new songs. Anyway, listening to music that was made by a computer isn’t the same experience as listening to human-made music. When musicians create songs, they put real feelings and experiences into their work, which builds a deep connection with listeners through their music. Music produced by AI isn’t truly original, as it simply takes pieces from songs that have already been published. Therefore, it cannot be considered creative. No—AI can help spark(激发) new ideas. When people turn on their radio or headphones and a great new song comes on, it makes them feel good. A catchy tune (曲调) brings people together to sing and dance. If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine? Music makers already use computers, which help to perfect sound and mix different parts of a song. Like computers, AI can also help spark ideas. It won’t replace (取代) musicians but they can work with it. Building on music created by AI could save time. It could allow lots more music to be produced and it could lead to new and special styles of music. AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of. Is AI bad for new music? Background Humans have a long 71 of creating music for fun and self-expression. But now, some people use AI to create music, which has caused a 72 about creativity. Agreement AI music isn’t creative.● AI costs less than hiring a musician, so it could take 73 from real musicians. ● AI music seldom shares real feelings and experiences, so it’s 74 for it to connect with listeners than human music does. ● AI music takes pieces from old songs, which may 75 it from being creative. Disagreement AI can help spark new ideas.● Whether the music is created by humans or AI doesn’t 76 if people enjoy it. ● AI can be also used as a 77 to spark new ideas. ● AI pushes music 78 human limits and opens up new ideas. Further thinking ● What English skills can AI help you learn? 79 ● How can it help? 80 【答案】 1．history 2．discussion 3．work/jobs 4．harder 5．stop/prevent/keep 6．matter 7．tool/helper 8．beyond 9．Writing skills. 10．AI can correct grammar and spelling mistakes. 【导语】本文探讨了AI音乐的利弊，呈现了支持和反对的观点，并引发了对AI在其他领域应用的思考。 1．根据“The world’s oldest musical instruments are more than 40,000 years old.

Therefore, it cannot be considered creative.”可知使用旧音乐片段会阻碍其创造性。stop/prevent/keep from“阻止”，may后接动词原形，故填stop/prevent/keep。 6．根据Disagreement部分“Whether the music is created by humans or AI doesn’t…if people enjoy it”以及“If people are enjoying music, who cares whether it was made by a human or a machine?”可知只要人们喜欢，创作方式不重要。故填matter。 7．根据Disagreement部分“AI can be also used as a…to spark new ideas.”和“Like computers, AI can also help spark ideas.”可知AI可作为创意激发工具。tool“工具”/helper“助手”都符合，此处用单数。故填tool/helper。 8．根据Disagreement部分“AI pushes music…human limits”以及“AI could create exciting tunes that humans could never have dreamed of.”可知AI推动音乐超越人类极限。故填beyond。 9．开放题，合理即可。故填Writing skills. 10．开放题，合理即可。故填AI can correct grammar and spelling mistakes. 阅读下面一段短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格只填一个单词。 I always knew that I depended too much on my phone.

On the first morning I had to dress without guidance, but thankfully I was able to guess that the day would be cold and foggy by looking out of my window. I couldn’t tell what time it was. I haven’t worn a watch for more than a year, because my phone showed the time. As a result, I was late for picking up friends who had been on the bus for two hours. I was also late for my part-time job. And even worse, I couldn’t call people to tell them that I was running late. Getting places was harder, too. I lost my way because I couldn’t use the GPS on my phone. My driving, though, got a lot safer because I no longer had my phone in one hand checking directions while driving with the other. But the number one trouble was not having my contact list. I forgot to write down my friends’ and family members’ phone numbers before I started the challenge. I suddenly realized that I couldn’t remember my brother’s and my mom’s cell phone numbers. Oh, how I wished to turn on the phone for just a second to look up phone numbers! Even with all the problems, however, I found peace not worrying about missing a text message or an e-mail. This challenge was a great experience. It surprised me how I’d taken no notice of even the things like remembering phone numbers. We are all supposed to try to depend less on our cell phones.

I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat, and after losing weight, shamed for being fit. Sarah Moore is a 29-year-old mother of three children from Indiana, US. She became a personal trainer after losing more than 45 kg. She remembers the fat-shaming that happened to her before her weight loss. When waiting to get on a roller coaster, people behind her were complaining about the wait, and the person who worked there said, “Don’t worry. She’s probably not going to fit on here, and you’ll be next.” But after losing weight, Moore said people commented (评论) on her body even more. “Now I get comments like, ‘Are you sure you can eat that?’ I think they’re worried I’ll get the weight back,” she said. How does it make her feel? “Fat-shaming brought me sadness and I couldn’t get any help. Fit-shaming makes me feel angry,” she said. Changes in body weight can also influence relationships. It can break the balance because people who lose weight can not only become more confident but also be the envy of others. Fit-shaming has been more difficult to deal with for Andrea Sereda, a 38-year-old social worker in Canada. She said judgement of her body is something she’s faced for years. Sereda said that when she was 9, her grandfather said to her at a birthday party, “I don’t think you should eat cake,” and made comments about how many calories each bite had inside as she ate it. The judgement of Sereda’s body increased after she lost 57 kg. Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively(消极的)with Sereda’s new body type. “I am afraid of going out and having to deal with all these comments,” Sereda said. Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight, it doesn’t make them fair game (可抨击的对象) for comments on their new shapes. Everyone should live free of being body shamed, paying no attention to how they look. Shamed for being fat or 91 Examples Sarah Moore Andrea Sereda Before losing weight Someone 92 whether she could fit on the roller coaster.

The survey found children as young as eight were interested in news. However, the spread of wrong information makes it difficult for children to understand events. The survey also found only one-third of young people felt they could tell whether news they read was real or not. Here are what adults can do to help children critically (批判地) think about the news. To help decide if a source (来源) can be trusted, they can ask the following questions. Is it clear who created this news? Viewers need to be able to ask the person or organization about why and how they created the story. Does it present facts straight or does it include opinions? If opinions are presented as facts, this may lead to wrong ideas. Does it include all the important people? If a story speaks up for organizations or groups of people, they should have the chance to reply to these opinions. Some media may make use of people’s feelings. Discussing how children feel about news helps them decide which news programs to watch. Research shows sensationalist (耸人听闻的) news titles can receive more clicks online. Adults can also talk to children why people spread wrong information, such as changing people’s mind on who to vote for or attracting more clicks. News media talk about events in different ways. Parents and teachers can help children be careful while reading stories. In some stories people can’t present their ideas honestly. In these cases, it’s best to find other news sources to consider how they are reporting the story. Discussing what children think of the news can help build their critical thinking skills. News that can be trusted is important to society. People depend on it to help make decisions in lives. Seeing how wrong information is different from real news is a challenge for everyone at present.
