Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water!
Why does a computer programme need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500 ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources?
Around the world, intelligent products are discussed heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 1 many people.
The 2 for using much water
When an AI has the ability of 3 like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. As a result, water is used to keep the computers 4 .
A recent report by Microsoft
From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept 5 . The training of the AI systems is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析)
The amount of used water is
◇ connected with 6 where AI supercomputing centres are built.
◇ affected by the high 7 in these places.
◇ not the 8 all year round and changes with the seasons.
Advice
◇ Consider it as a 9 .
◇ Save the Earth’s water resources by having more 10 with humans.

In recent years, China has tried its best to protect the environment and achieved great results. These achievements include many areas. Let’s take a closer look at some of these successes.Leading in Renewable Energy
China is now the world’s largest producer of solar and wind energy. By building huge solar farms and wind turbines (涡轮机), the country offers clean power to millions of homes. For example, in 2022, China’s solar power reached over 390 million kilowatts (千瓦), becoming the top in the world. This helps cut coal use and air pollution.Greener Lands and Forests
China has planted billions of trees to keep soil in place and fight against desertification (沙漠化). The Great Green Wall project, set up in 1978, has built forests covering over 46 million hectares — an area larger than Germany! The government has also returned over 34 million hectares of farmland to forests or grasslands since 1999, which is good for biodiversity (生物多样性) protection.Clearer Skies in Cities
Air pollution used to be a serious problem in cities like Beijing. However, some laws have made air quality better. Beijing’s average PM 2.5 level dropped by about 63% between 2013 and 2021. Many cities now have more blue sky days than before.Promoting Green Transport
In 2023, over 60% of the world’s electric vehicles (EVs) (电动汽车) were made in China. China leads the world in EV production and sales. Cities like Shenzhen have already used electric buses and taxis completely instead of oil-powered ones, lowering carbon emissions (排放) and noise pollution.
China’s environmental achievements show that progress is possible when people and government work together. As students, we can also take action to make a difference by saving energy, recycling and reusing. After all, protecting the Earth is everyone’s duty!

Passage 3
根据短文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。
Kids aren’t born with good manners. They learn manners firstly from parents, so the most important way you can pass good manners to your kids is to show an example and keep talking about good manners at home.
You can’t avoid these two passwords in your home: “please” and “thank you”. Start by modeling them when your children are only months old. As they get older, remind (提醒) them gently when they forget. They will get in the habit of saying “May I please have a glass of milk?” instead of “I want milk!”
My daughter went through a shy phase (阶段). She found it difficult to say “thank you” to people she didn’t know well. I knew that she wasn’t being impolite—she just wasn’t used to talking with strangers. We came up with a good idea. She would try her best to look at the person who helped her and smile. I’d then jump in and say, “She’s saying thank you with her eyes.” It wasn’t long before she said the words herself, and I helped her get there.
Picking nose, talking while eating, running around. These acts are usually seen in childhood. For all these acts, you can find a simple password that gives your child a sign to show it’s not the best choice of action in public places. We use the word “inappropriate (不恰当的)”, it doesn’t mean these actions are always bad. It only tells children that these actions have a time and a place, but “not here, not now”.
Start with “please” and “thank you”
To help kids form good manners, parents should set good 1 and talk about manners with kids.
Say “please” and
“thank you”
We should use “please” and “thank you” at 2 .
Parents should 3 teaching children when they are months old.
If children don’t 4 to say the words, remind them.

Children might be shy to talk with strangers,but it doesn’t 6 they are impolite.
Children should try to be polite, and 7 can offer help.

Some actions shouldn’t be seen as bad manners, but they are not welcome in 9 .
Parents can use a simple password to 10 children from acting in that way.
Passage 4
阅读下面材料,根据材料内容完成后面表格,每空填一个单词。
Artificial (人工的) light comes from signs and streetlamps (路灯). It helps people see after the sun goes down. But too much artificial light becomes light pollution. This makes it hard to see the stars at night. It also harms animals and wastes energy.
For billions of years, all living things have depended on Earth’s day and night cycle. This cycle is part of their DNA.Humans are now changing this cycle by lighting up the night. Many insects fly towards light, but artificial lights can create a deadly attraction. When insect numbers drop, animals that eat them or depend on them for pollination (授粉) also suffer (遭受). Birds that travel or hunt at night use the moon and stars to find their way. Artificial light can make them lose their way and fly towards cities. Every year, millions of birds die after flying into brightly lit buildings and towers.
Using more light than needed or lighting places at the wrong time is wasteful. Wasting energy costs us money and hurts the environment. In an average year in the U. S. alone, outdoor lighting uses about 120 terawatt-hours of energy. Most of this is for streets and parking lots. That’s enough energy to power all of New York for two years.
Light pollution affects everyone and every living thing. Luckily, more and more people now understand this problem. Scientists, homeowners, and environmental groups are taking action to bring back the dark night.
From April 21 to 28, people celebrate International Dark Sky Week. This yearly event reminds people to reduce light pollution. A teenager started it in 2003. Now DarkSky International runs it. The group’s website says we should only use outdoor lighting when necessary. It also asks people to tell others about light pollution. Why not go outside with your family and friends to enjoy the beautiful night sky now?
Basic
information
Artificial light, 1 light from signs and streetlamps, helps people see when the sun goes down, but too much of it results in light pollution.
Bad 2
Animals
·Artificial light 3 a greater number of insects to die, as it attracts them in a deadly way.
·What’s worse, insects are closely 4 with other animals and plants because these living things depend on them for food or pollination.
·Artificial light puts the lives of birds in 5 because they may crash into the lighted buildings and towers.
Energy
·It is a 6 of energy to use overly bright lighting or leave lights on unnecessarily.
·On 7 , just in the U.S., outdoor lights use about 120 terawatt-hours of energy each year.
Actions taken
International Dark Sky Week is celebrated every year from April 21 to April 28.
·More and more people from all kinds of jobs are 8 of the importance of bringing natural night back.
·Dark Sky International’s website suggests:
■ 9 using outdoor lighting when it is not necessary.
■Spreading information about light pollution.
Purpose
To call on (号召) people to 10 light pollution.
Passage 5
“Excuse me, may I have a purple crayon, please?” five-year-old Leah asked a nurse. “I want to colour the butterfly.”
“Sorry, but I can’t find one,” said the nurse. “I’m afraid you’ll have to draw a grey butterfly.”
This conversation happened in a waiting room at Sunshine Hospital. The hospital provided colouring books for young patients. But there were never enough crayons. Why? Well, crayons may carry viruses and spread diseases. They can only be used once. Then they must be thrown away. The hospital had many new patients every day. It just couldn’t afford new crayons for every child.
Leah was born with a serious disease, and she made many hospital visits. “A lot of the time she’s in great pain,” her mum said. “But colouring has helped her get through it.” Leah didn’t want other young patients to feel her disappointment. “It can be boring to wait for X-rays and treatments. I want them to feel good,” she said. “There must be something for me to do.”
Leah planned to buy 500 boxes of crayons for the hospital. However, all her pocket money was only enough for about 40 boxes. Because of her illness, she couldn’t do chores for money, either.
It might sound impossible, but Leah didn’t give up. With the help of her family and friends, she held many activities to raise money. And she would always be there in her wheelchair. Word spread fast, and Leah’s story went public. So far, she has collected 2,675 boxes.
“She is a kind girl,” said one nurse. “She’s added colour to this hospital. The waiting rooms are now filled with happier kids and brighter pictures!”

Teaching good manners can seem like a lot of work, but it is as important as brushing teeth twice a day. Actually, just give time and any child can learn to be polite. Here are some tips on how to help kids remember good manners in their daily life.
Sometimes children may be willing to listen to someone instead of their parents. Turn to friends, family, and teachers and encourage them to practice good manners at all times. If an uncle burps (打嗝) at the dinner table, have him say “Excuse me.” or “Pardon me.”. If your children jump on the sofa at Grandma’s house, have her explain that jumping on furniture is impolite. This shows that a different person can be more effective (有效的) than the same one who is heard all the time. If no one plays down (对……轻描淡写) bad manners, your kids won’t either.
Prepare for different situations in which your kids need to behave politely. If you’re in your backyard where a child has been on the swings (秋千) too long, he doesn’t notice others waiting. Show how you would politely ask the child to give everyone else a turn. With practice, your child will have the confidence to deal with any situation with politeness and good manners.
Family dinners are perfect situations for practicing table manners, such as learning how to use utensils (餐具), eating properly, your child has a chance to experience and eat new foods in a safe environment. This will encourage him to be open and excited about new dishes and situations. If he doesn’t like the food, teach him how to refuse it without complaining about it. Advise him to eat his favourite food in small and slow bites with practice.
When my child used to point out someone’s bad manners, I would ask him what that person should have done differently. Talk about different situations, ask what words he can use to sound polite when talking to an adult. Ask your child to share his ideas with you. Encourage him to practice them as soon as possible and ask him to report what happens and if the result is good.
1 to Practice Good Manners
Get others to help
▶Children may accept others’ advice more 2 .
▶A different person can do 3 work than the same one who is always heard.
Role-play situations
▶Help kids to 4 good manners in different situations.
▶In this way, kids will be 5 to deal with any situation.
Eat dinner as a family
▶Teach kids to use utensils, eat and talk 6 .
▶Tell kids not to 7 about the food they dislike.
8 to your child’s ideas
▶Ask your child 9 he thinks of someone’s bad manners.
▶ 10 different situations with your child and encourage him to put his ideas into practice.
Passage 7
American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”
All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways.

Charity is big business: in 2020 about 410 billion yuan was raised for charity in China. But every year there is more suffering in the news. Sometimes it feels like people ask us for money everywhere we go. With so many charities, how can they get enough money?
Charity is not a modern idea. Over the years people have found new and interesting ways to get the money they need. In 3500 BC King Hammurabai of Babylon encouraged(鼓励)his people to share their wealth with their poorest neighbours. For thousands of years, the world’s main religions(宗教)have encouraged people to do the same. In the1970s more and more people had televisions, so charities made films of suffering(受苦)children and brought the world problems straight into people’s homes. The 1980s was a time of big business, so charities became more business-like: they made money by making and selling everything from Christmas cards to summer holidays!
In the 1990s, famous people like Claudia Schiffer and Michael Jordan made millions of dollars for big international companies like Citroen and Nike. So charities started using famous people too. During the 1990s Sting planned music events for the Rainforest Foundation. With help from other singers, he earned more than $10 million to help protect the lives of people living in rainforests.
Today, charities are using the “personal touch” to earn money. People give more when they can see their money working in the area they live in, and when they have a personal relationship(关系)with the charity.
Some people never give to charities. They say that their money cannot mend these world-wide problems. This is true, but most people know that a little help is better than none. Look more closely at charity work and you will see that each person can do something to make our world better.

There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” Are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The biggest difference(差异)between American and British English is vocabulary. In their everyday lives, there are many different words. For example, Americans eat cookies, while British people eat biscuits.
Collective Nouns(集合名词)
There are some grammatical differences, such as the use of collective nouns. Americans would say, “The team is good”. But British people might say, “The team are good” or “The team is good.”
Auxiliary Verbs(助动词)
Another grammatical difference is about auxiliary verbs. Look at the auxiliary verb shall. British people sometimes use shall to express the future. For example, “I shall go home now.” Americans seldom use it in their conversations. They would use “I will go home now.”
Past Tense Verbs
Americans like to use the-ed ending, while British people like to use the-t ending. For example, in American English, the past tense of learn is learned. But in British English, it is learnt.
Tag Questions
What is a tag question? Here are two examples, “The weather is fine, isn’t it?” Or, “You don’t like him, do you?” Americans use tag questions less often than British people.
Spelling
We can find differences in the American spelling of words like humor (from humour). Americans give up the letter u to make the spelling match the pronunciation.
British and American English have more similarities than differences. Most Americans and British people can understand each other without too much difficulty.

Sage of calligraphy
Wang Xizhi was born in Linyi of Shandong Province. He served as a general and officer in the Jin Dynasty, and was a famous calligrapher. Wang is still known as the calligraphy sage (圣人).
Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began a systematic (系统性的) study of calligraphy under a female calligrapher, WeiShuo. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from the works of calligraphers.
To practise calligraphy, wherever he went, he would try to find out the styles of previous calligraphers and copy them, through collecting many calligraphic materials. There were writing brushes, ink sticks and ink stones in his study, yard and even outside the toilet. Whenever he thought of a well-structured character, he would write it down right away.
Wang wrote with smoothness and grandness (宏伟). Some people have described his calligraphy as “the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate and the tiger lying in the palace of the phoenix (凤凰)”. Wang was good at many types of calligraphy but the xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) is the most popular of his works.
There is a story behind this work. In 353, Wang invited famous people to get together at a party with 41 guests at the Orchid Pavilion, where they drank. The guests were asked to write poems. The poems were collected, and Wang wrote Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s talent in calligraphy was brought into full play during it.
The Song Dynasty scholar Mi Fu called Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection the world’s best work in xingshu style. It’s said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty treasured the work and had it buried in his tomb. Wang left behind calligraphic works, and Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is one of them.

Passage 11
What forms of transportation would you prefer when you travel—planes, trains or cars? All of the above will be improved with 5G technology.
Gacha, the world’s first all-weather robot bus in Finland, is a good example. Telecoms company Nokia has set 5G transmitters (信号发射器) in 15 lamp posts along a route. These transmitters are then used to control buses, making them driverless and work perfectly even under difficult conditions—rain, snow or mud.
There are also 5G roads. These roads have 5G transmitters and cameras. They can provide many services. For example, the roads can tell electric car drivers where the nearest charging station (充电站) is.
In Seoul, a smart management system is being used in one of the city’s underground stations. This system has many smart features, including a 3D map, sensors (传感器) and a modern camera system that make the station more efficient (高效的) and safer.
Even airplanes will become smart in the near future. Airbus, one of the world’s biggest airplane makers, is working on new planes that will have many sensors and 5G transmitters. The sensors will keep track of (了解……的动态) many things, such as whether the toilet needs to be refilled with soap, or whether passengers have fastened their seat belts.
We believe that 5G will bring a brighter future for smart travelling.

On November 16, 2024, Evan Kail arrived in China, greeted by the warm smiles of the Chinese people. In the eyes of the Chinese, he has become a symbol of friendship and justice.
Before this visit, Evan became well-known in China. He discovered an old photo album (相册). To his surprise, the album was filled with pictures that described a very important part of Chinese history — the difficult times during World War II. Selflessly, he donated this precious album to the Chinese Consulate — General in Chicago (中国驻芝加哥总领事馆). To express thanks for his kind deed, the consulate presented him with a national porcelain (国瓷) gift, an honor only shared by greats like John Rabe (拉贝) and Norman Bethune (白求恩).
Evan’s journey in China had clear aims. Culturally, he looked forward to experiencing the unique charm of China. Historically, during his one-month tour, he planned to visit famous cities in China, such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Nanjing, which are rich in relevant history and hold great appeal for him .
In Beijing, Evan had an amazing experience. One cold morning, he made his way to Tian’anmen Square for the raising of the national flag. People recognized him in the crowd. A kind-hearted young man from Huai’an, Jiangsu Province, saw Evan shivering (哆嗦) and offered him his military overcoat (军大衣). This simple yet moving act deeply touched Evan.
Evan Kail’s China journey was filled with such heart-warming moments. It not only strengthened the cultural bond between the two countries but also reminded (提醒) us that it is important to respect history, uphold justice, be kind-hearted, and promote international friendship.

Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500 ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons.
Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources?
Around the world, intelligent products are discussed heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 1 many people.

In recent years, China has tried its best to protect the environment and achieved great results. These achievements include many areas. Let’s take a closer look at some of these successes.Leading in Renewable Energy
China is now the world’s largest producer of solar and wind energy. By building huge solar farms and wind turbines (涡轮机), the country offers clean power to millions of homes. For example, in 2022, China’s solar power reached over 390 million kilowatts (千瓦), becoming the top in the world. This helps cut coal use and air pollution.Greener Lands and Forests
China has planted billions of trees to keep soil in place and fight against desertification (沙漠化). The Great Green Wall project, set up in 1978, has built forests covering over 46 million hectares — an area larger than Germany! The government has also returned over 34 million hectares of farmland to forests or grasslands since 1999, which is good for biodiversity (生物多样性) protection.Clearer Skies in Cities
Air pollution used to be a serious problem in cities like Beijing. However, some laws have made air quality better. Beijing’s average PM 2.5 level dropped by about 63% between 2013 and 2021. Many cities now have more blue sky days than before.Promoting Green Transport
In 2023, over 60% of the world’s electric vehicles (EVs) (电动汽车) were made in China. China leads the world in EV production and sales. Cities like Shenzhen have already used electric buses and taxis completely instead of oil-powered ones, lowering carbon emissions (排放) and noise pollution.
China’s environmental achievements show that progress is possible when people and government work together. As students, we can also take action to make a difference by saving energy, recycling and reusing. After all, protecting the Earth is everyone’s duty!

Kids aren’t born with good manners. They learn manners firstly from parents, so the most important way you can pass good manners to your kids is to show an example and keep talking about good manners at home.
You can’t avoid these two passwords in your home: “please” and “thank you”. Start by modeling them when your children are only months old. As they get older, remind (提醒) them gently when they forget. They will get in the habit of saying “May I please have a glass of milk?” instead of “I want milk!”
My daughter went through a shy phase (阶段). She found it difficult to say “thank you” to people she didn’t know well. I knew that she wasn’t being impolite—she just wasn’t used to talking with strangers. We came up with a good idea. She would try her best to look at the person who helped her and smile. I’d then jump in and say, “She’s saying thank you with her eyes.” It wasn’t long before she said the words herself, and I helped her get there.
Picking nose, talking while eating, running around. These acts are usually seen in childhood. For all these acts, you can find a simple password that gives your child a sign to show it’s not the best choice of action in public places.

Passage 4
阅读下面材料,根据材料内容完成后面表格,每空填一个单词。
Artificial (人工的) light comes from signs and streetlamps (路灯). It helps people see after the sun goes down. But too much artificial light becomes light pollution. This makes it hard to see the stars at night. It also harms animals and wastes energy.
For billions of years, all living things have depended on Earth’s day and night cycle. This cycle is part of their DNA.Humans are now changing this cycle by lighting up the night. Many insects fly towards light, but artificial lights can create a deadly attraction. When insect numbers drop, animals that eat them or depend on them for pollination (授粉) also suffer (遭受). Birds that travel or hunt at night use the moon and stars to find their way. Artificial light can make them lose their way and fly towards cities. Every year, millions of birds die after flying into brightly lit buildings and towers.
Using more light than needed or lighting places at the wrong time is wasteful. Wasting energy costs us money and hurts the environment. In an average year in the U. S. alone, outdoor lighting uses about 120 terawatt-hours of energy. Most of this is for streets and parking lots. That’s enough energy to power all of New York for two years.
Light pollution affects everyone and every living thing. Luckily, more and more people now understand this problem. Scientists, homeowners, and environmental groups are taking action to bring back the dark night.
From April 21 to 28, people celebrate International Dark Sky Week. This yearly event reminds people to reduce light pollution. A teenager started it in 2003. Now DarkSky International runs it. The group’s website says we should only use outdoor lighting when necessary. It also asks people to tell others about light pollution. Why not go outside with your family and friends to enjoy the beautiful night sky now?

·What’s worse, insects are closely 4 with other animals and plants because these living things depend on them for food or pollination.
·Artificial light puts the lives of birds in 5 because they may crash into the lighted buildings and towers.
Energy
·It is a 6 of energy to use overly bright lighting or leave lights on unnecessarily.
·On 7 , just in the U.S., outdoor lights use about 120 terawatt-hours of energy each year.
Actions taken
International Dark Sky Week is celebrated every year from April 21 to April 28.
·More and more people from all kinds of jobs are 8 of the importance of bringing natural night back.
·Dark Sky International’s website suggests:
■ 9 using outdoor lighting when it is not necessary.

【答案】
1. including 2. effects 3. causes 4. connected 5. danger 6. waste 7. average 8. aware 9. Avoid 10. reduce
【导语】本文主要介绍光污染的相关知识,包括人工光的基本信息、光污染带来的不良影响、人们采取的应对措施以及文章的写作目的。
1. 文章第一段指出“Artificial light comes from signs and streetlamps”,此处用介词including作后置定语,表示“包括”,符合语法,说明人造光包括来自标志和路灯的光。
2. 文章第一段提到 “Too much artificial light causes light pollution and it has bad effects on living things and the environment”,这一部分列举的是人造光过多带来的不良影响,Bad effects表示“不良影响”,与下文内容相符,第二空应填effects。
3. 文章第二段提到“Many insects fly towards light, but artificial lights can create a deadly attraction”,人造光导致更多昆虫死亡,cause表示“导致”,主语Artificial light是单数,所以用第三人称单数形式causes。
4. 文章第二段提到“When insect numbers drop, animals that eat them or depend on them for pollination also suffer”,昆虫与其他生物相关联,be connected with为固定搭配。
5. 文章第二段提到“Every year, millions of birds die after flying into brightly lit buildings and towers”,造光使鸟类处于危险之中,in danger表示“处于危险中”。
6. 文章第三段提到“Using more light than needed or lighting places at the wrong time is wasteful”,过度照明或不必要地开灯是能源的浪费,a waste of意为“浪费”。
7. 文章第三段提到“In an average year in the U.S. alone, outdoor lighting uses about 120 terawatt-hours of energy”,on average为固定搭配,因此填average。
8. 文章第四段提到“Luckily, more and more people now understand this problem”,越来越多的人意识到恢复自然黑夜的重要性,be aware of意为“意识到”。
9. 文章最后一段提到“The group’s website says we should only use outdoor lighting when necessary”,在不必要时应避免使用户外照明,avoid doing sth.表示“避免做某事”,这里是祈使句,用动词原形Avoid。
10. 文章最后一段提到“This yearly event reminds people to reduce light pollution”,因此填reduce。
Passage 5
“Excuse me, may I have a purple crayon, please?” five-year-old Leah asked a nurse. “I want to colour the butterfly.”
“Sorry, but I can’t find one,” said the nurse. “I’m afraid you’ll have to draw a grey butterfly.”
This conversation happened in a waiting room at Sunshine Hospital. The hospital provided colouring books for young patients. But there were never enough crayons. Why? Well, crayons may carry viruses and spread diseases. They can only be used once. Then they must be thrown away. The hospital had many new patients every day. It just couldn’t afford new crayons for every child.
Leah was born with a serious disease, and she made many hospital visits. “A lot of the time she’s in great pain,” her mum said. “But colouring has helped her get through it.” Leah didn’t want other young patients to feel her disappointment. “It can be boring to wait for X-rays and treatments. I want them to feel good,” she said. “There must be something for me to do.”
Leah planned to buy 500 boxes of crayons for the hospital. However, all her pocket money was only enough for about 40 boxes. Because of her illness, she couldn’t do chores for money, either.
It might sound impossible, but Leah didn’t give up. With the help of her family and friends, she held many activities to raise money. And she would always be there in her wheelchair. Word spread fast, and Leah’s story went public. So far, she has collected 2,675 boxes.
“She is a kind girl,” said one nurse. “She’s added colour to this hospital. The waiting rooms are now filled with happier kids and brighter pictures!”
根据短文内容完成图表,每空不超过3个词。

【导语】短文讲述了患有重病的小女孩Leah为了让医院里的小病友们能开心一点,努力筹集资金购买蜡笔的感人故事。
【详解】1. 第四段第一句“Leah was born with a serious disease...”明确提到她患有“一种严重的疾病”,因此第一空应填a serious disease。
2. 第四段第一句“…and she made many hospital visits.”直接给出了短语“hospital visits”(去医院看病/探访),因此第二空应填hospital visits。
3. 第一段“…Leah asked a nurse. ‘I want to colour the butterfly.’”,Leah向护士请求要紫色蜡笔,因此第三空应填asked for。
4. 第三段“The hospital provided colouring books for young patients.” ,原文直接对应“colouring books”(涂色书),因此第四空应填colouring books。
5. 第三段“Well, crayons may carry viruses and spread diseases.”,原文中“spread diseases”(传播疾病)与“carry viruses”并列,正好填入,因此第五空应填spread diseases。
6. 第三段“It just couldn’t afford new crayons for every child.”,原文中的“couldn’t afford”(负担不起)直接对应空格,因此第六空应填couldn’t afford。
7. 前一部分讲的是“问题”和“原因”,后一部分讲的是Leah如何筹款、如何解决问题。因此,这一栏的标题应该是“Solutions”(解决办法/解决方案)。
8. 第六段“...she held many activities to raise money.”,原文中的“held many activities”(举办了许多活动)是核心动作,因此第八空应填held/organized many activities。
9. 第六段“...and Leah’s story went public.”,原文直接使用了短语“went public”(公开/公之于众),意味着大家都知道了/她的故事出名了。可以用went public/became famous/…等表达。
10. 最后一段“She is a kind girl…She’s added colour to this hospital.” ,题目需要一个形容词来形容Leah,且要和“kind”并列。虽然原文只说了“kind”,但根据她帮助别人的行为,可用helpful/clever/caring/warm-hearted/capable/…来描述。
Passage 6
阅读下面短文, 请根据短文内容, 在文后表格中填入恰当的单词, 每空一词。
Teaching good manners can seem like a lot of work, but it is as important as brushing teeth twice a day. Actually, just give time and any child can learn to be polite. Here are some tips on how to help kids remember good manners in their daily life.
Sometimes children may be willing to listen to someone instead of their parents. Turn to friends, family, and teachers and encourage them to practice good manners at all times. If an uncle burps (打嗝) at the dinner table, have him say “Excuse me.” or “Pardon me.”. If your children jump on the sofa at Grandma’s house, have her explain that jumping on furniture is impolite. This shows that a different person can be more effective (有效的) than the same one who is heard all the time. If no one plays down (对……轻描淡写) bad manners, your kids won’t either.
Prepare for different situations in which your kids need to behave politely. If you’re in your backyard where a child has been on the swings (秋千) too long, he doesn’t notice others waiting. Show how you would politely ask the child to give everyone else a turn. With practice, your child will have the confidence to deal with any situation with politeness and good manners.
Family dinners are perfect situations for practicing table manners, such as learning how to use utensils (餐具), eating properly, your child has a chance to experience and eat new foods in a safe environment. This will encourage him to be open and excited about new dishes and situations. If he doesn’t like the food, teach him how to refuse it without complaining about it. Advise him to eat his favourite food in small and slow bites with practice.
When my child used to point out someone’s bad manners, I would ask him what that person should have done differently. Talk about different situations, ask what words he can use to sound polite when talking to an adult. Ask your child to share his ideas with you. Encourage him to practice them as soon as possible and ask him to report what happens and if the result is good.
1 to Practice Good Manners
Get others to help
▶Children may accept others’ advice more 2 .
▶A different person can do 3 work than the same one who is always heard.
Role-play situations
▶Help kids to 4 good manners in different situations.
▶In this way, kids will be 5 to deal with any situation.
Eat dinner as a family
▶Teach kids to use utensils, eat and talk 6 .
▶Tell kids not to 7 about the food they dislike.
8 to your child’s ideas
▶Ask your child 9 he thinks of someone’s bad manners.
▶ 10 different situations with your child and encourage him to put his ideas into practice.
【答案】
1. How 2. willingly 3. more 4. practice 5. confident 6. properly 7. complain 8. Listen 9. what 10. Discuss
【导语】本文介绍了如何帮助孩子养成良好礼仪。
1. 根据第一段“Here are some tips on how to help kids remember good manners in their daily life”,可知文章主要介绍如何帮助孩子在日常生活中养成良好礼仪。表示“如何”用疑问词How。
2. 由第二段开头句“Sometimes children may be willing to listen to someone instead of their parents”可知,相比于父母,孩子们更愿意听其他人的话;原文中用“willing”表示愿意,空白处修饰动词,需用副词。故填willingly。
3. 第二段明确指出“This shows that a different person can be more effective than the same one who is heard all the time”,说明比起一直听同一个人说话,不同的人进行劝告可能更有效。表格空白处后“than”是比较级的标志词,应填比较级;根据句意,可知不同的人劝告可能起到更大的作用,“more”修饰work,意为”更大的作用“,符合语境。
4. 第四段开头句“Family dinners are perfect situations for practicing table manners”,可知不同的场景可以帮助孩子练习良好礼仪。“练习”原句用practice表示。
5. 第三段指出“With practice, your child will have the confidence to deal with any situation with politeness and good manners”,通过练习,孩子会更有自信处理各种场合。空白处作表语,应填形容词;confidence的形容词形式为confident。
6. 根据第四段“Family dinners are perfect situations for practicing table manners, such as learning how to use utensils, eating properly...”,可知家庭聚餐是练习餐桌礼仪的绝佳场合。空白处修饰“eat and talk”,应填副词,用原文中的properly。
7. 由第四段“If he doesn’t like the food, teach him how to refuse it without complaining about it”可知,如果孩子不喜欢食物,应该教会他不要抱怨。“tell sb not to do sth.”意为“告诉某人不要做某事”,应填动词原形。故填complain。
8. 根据最后一段“Ask your child to share his ideas with you”,可知此处作者建议家长学会倾听孩子的想法。“倾听”可用listen to表示。
9. 最后一段开头句指出“When my child used to point out someone’s bad manners, I would ask him what that person should have done differently”,面对别人的不礼貌,作者会询问孩子对此怎么想。“what...think of...”可表示“……怎么看”。
10. 由最后一段“Talk about different situations”可知,可以和孩子讨论不同的情况;“discuss”与talk about意思相近。
Passage 7
American and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English.
First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know.” Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
Many expressions are also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”. In America, you “give them a call”. When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There’re also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say “Have you a storybook?”
All these differences can be confusing (易混淆的) if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways.
Differences between British English and American English

Charity is big business: in 2020 about 410 billion yuan was raised for charity in China. But every year there is more suffering in the news. Sometimes it feels like people ask us for money everywhere we go. With so many charities, how can they get enough money?
Charity is not a modern idea. Over the years people have found new and interesting ways to get the money they need. In 3500 BC King Hammurabai of Babylon encouraged(鼓励)his people to share their wealth with their poorest neighbours. For thousands of years, the world’s main religions(宗教)have encouraged people to do the same. In the1970s more and more people had televisions, so charities made films of suffering(受苦)children and brought the world problems straight into people’s homes. The 1980s was a time of big business, so charities became more business-like: they made money by making and selling everything from Christmas cards to summer holidays!
In the 1990s, famous people like Claudia Schiffer and Michael Jordan made millions of dollars for big international companies like Citroen and Nike. So charities started using famous people too. During the 1990s Sting planned music events for the Rainforest Foundation. With help from other singers, he earned more than $10 million to help protect the lives of people living in rainforests.
Today, charities are using the “personal touch” to earn money. People give more when they can see their money working in the area they live in, and when they have a personal relationship(关系)with the charity.
Some people never give to charities. They say that their money cannot mend these world-wide problems. This is true, but most people know that a little help is better than none. Look more closely at charity work and you will see that each person can do something to make our world better.

There is an old saying that America and Britain are “two nations divided by a common language.” Are American and British English really so different?
Vocabulary
The biggest difference(差异)between American and British English is vocabulary. In their everyday lives, there are many different words. For example, Americans eat cookies, while British people eat biscuits.
Collective Nouns(集合名词)
There are some grammatical differences, such as the use of collective nouns. Americans would say, “The team is good”. But British people might say, “The team are good” or “The team is good.”
Auxiliary Verbs(助动词)
Another grammatical difference is about auxiliary verbs. Look at the auxiliary verb shall. British people sometimes use shall to express the future. For example, “I shall go home now.” Americans seldom use it in their conversations. They would use “I will go home now.”
Past Tense Verbs
Americans like to use the-ed ending, while British people like to use the-t ending. For example, in American English, the past tense of learn is learned. But in British English, it is learnt.
Tag Questions
What is a tag question? Here are two examples, “The weather is fine, isn’t it?” Or, “You don’t like him, do you?” Americans use tag questions less often than British people.
Spelling
We can find differences in the American spelling of words like humor (from humour). Americans give up the letter u to make the spelling match the pronunciation.
British and American English have more similarities than differences. Most Americans and British people can understand each other without too much difficulty.

Sage of calligraphy
Wang Xizhi was born in Linyi of Shandong Province. He served as a general and officer in the Jin Dynasty, and was a famous calligrapher. Wang is still known as the calligraphy sage (圣人).
Wang’s uncles and cousins were all famous calligraphers of their time. At seven, Wang began a systematic (系统性的) study of calligraphy under a female calligrapher, WeiShuo. He kept copying the Wei-style calligraphy for years and learned much from the works of calligraphers.
To practise calligraphy, wherever he went, he would try to find out the styles of previous calligraphers and copy them, through collecting many calligraphic materials. There were writing brushes, ink sticks and ink stones in his study, yard and even outside the toilet. Whenever he thought of a well-structured character, he would write it down right away.
Wang wrote with smoothness and grandness (宏伟). Some people have described his calligraphy as “the dragon jumping over the heavenly gate and the tiger lying in the palace of the phoenix (凤凰)”. Wang was good at many types of calligraphy but the xingshu-style Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection (《兰亭集序》) is the most popular of his works.
There is a story behind this work. In 353, Wang invited famous people to get together at a party with 41 guests at the Orchid Pavilion, where they drank. The guests were asked to write poems. The poems were collected, and Wang wrote Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection on his own, describing how happy these men were. Wang’s talent in calligraphy was brought into full play during it.
The Song Dynasty scholar Mi Fu called Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection the world’s best work in xingshu style. It’s said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty treasured the work and had it buried in his tomb. Wang left behind calligraphic works, and Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection is one of them.
