Hello, everyone! Welcome to the beautiful Jiuzhaigou Valley in Sichuan Province, China. Today, we’ll explore this amazing place, filled with natural beauty and fascinating stories.
Jiuzhaigou, meaning “Nine Village Valley”, is known for its beautiful blue-green lakes, multi-level waterfalls, and colorful forests. It’s as if Mother Nature decided to use all her colors at once! The scenery here is so breathtaking that it feels like you’re walking through a living painting.
One of the most magical spots is Five-Flower Lake. The water in this lake is so clear and bright that it looks as if it’s been photoshopped. According to legend, a goddess dropped her mirror here, and its broken pieces turned into this brilliant, colorful lake. So, if you ever lose a mirror, just hope it results in something as beautiful as this!
As we wander through the valley, you’ll hear the calming sounds of waterfalls. Nuorilang Waterfall is one of the most famous and is said to be the widest highland waterfall in China. There’s a local story that these falls are actually the tears of a mountain spirit who cried with joy when she saw the beauty of Jiuzhaigou for the first time. Talk about being moved to tears!
Another fun spot is Panda Lake. It’s said that pandas love this area because of the abundance of bamboo. While the pandas are a bit shy and might not show up for photos, you can always imagine them relaxing somewhere nearby, having a bamboo snack. If you see some missing pieces of bamboo, just know a happy panda was there!
Thank you for joining me on this fun tour of Jiuzhaigou Valley. I hope you’ve enjoyed learning about its natural wonders and fascinating stories. Remember, nature has the best stories, and sometimes they come with a good laugh. Enjoy the rest of your magical adventure here in Jiuzhaigou!

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none---that’s because all of Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas(画布)---the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then,Jim has traveled over 1, 800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven't changed---all he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙子) and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, looking for perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance (自由职业的) drawing, was created in the desert sand of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2015. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand-he is also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.

The moment the alarm goes off in the morning, the battle between children and parents begins. “Pack your bag quickly!” “Have you gathered all your books?” “Hurry up or you will be late!” The sounds of anxiety and impatience keep ringing in our cars. It’s fair to say that being too slow to pack a schoolbag or forgetting books is a common problem for primary and secondary school students. To solve this issue, we invented a smart schoolbag called “Zhi An Qi”, which means “intelligent, reassuring and complete”. It’s equipped with powerful functions.
We wanted to make our schoolbag easy to use. With a click, it can automatically display which books are inside and which ones are missing according to your daily schedule.
To scan several books at a time, we researched available technologies. However, we found that these technologies didn’t meet our needs. Disappointed, we went to a library to explore more options. What the librarian was doing interested us. Using a machine to scan a cart of books, he could see the returned books on the computer right away. After looking through the Internet, we soon discovered what he was using: radio frequency identification (RFTD, 射频识别). This technology provided the solution that could work for our schoolbag. We quickly made a plan and distributed the tasks. Some members began programming with MicroPython, while others created the circuit (电路) using a universal board (通用插件板). With our combined efforts, we designed the basic functions of the smart schoolbag and successfully applied for a patent (专利).
Creating just a model didn’t satisfy us. What we wanted was to turn it into a real product. To this end, we began commercial operations, such as writing a business plan and contacting producers. In the next stage, we will continue to upgrade the scan panel, making it removable and presenting it as a scanning accessory (附件).
“Of course, the process was quite difficult, as it was our first time developing a product,” said one teams member. “But if you stay determined, you will find that all the storms will pass, and eventually all the efforts will bring you victory.”
46. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. Stress the importance of being organized.
B. Introduce the topic of a smart schoolbag.
C. Highlight the problem of packing up a schoolbag.
D. Complain about anxiety and impatience from parents.
47. Where did the team get their inspiration according to Paragraph 3?
A. The popular bags. B. The existing AI technology.
C. The librarian’s scanning technology. D. The roar of anxiety and impatience.
48. What does the author plan to do in the future?
A. Contact manufacturers with a business plan.
B. Apply for a patent and make a more satisfied model.
C. Update the panel into a removable scanning accessory.
D. Improve the panel to make it more advanced and independent.
49. What is probably the author’s attitude toward the development of the new schoolbag?
A. Worried. B. Unconcerned. C. Uncertain. D. Positive.
50. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Smart Schoolbag B. Efficient Packing
C. The Challenges of Invention D. Technology in Education
D
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
51. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
52. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance(引导)
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
53. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from __________.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
54. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
55. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny
B. He thinks the change worth our attention
C. He considers it a rapid development
D. He is extremely upset about it

When 16-year-old Colin Moore is out on the football field, he is putting his heart into the game and looks just like any other teenage athlete out there. But what makes him different than the rest, is that he’s playing without part of his arm.
Moore was born without the lower part of his right arm, but he’s never let that stop him from achieving anything he’s put his mind to in his life, including football. “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold, and just move forward no matter what.” Moore said.
Although his arm difference has never got in the way of anything, it’s been a challenge for him. But in everything he does, he’s worked twice as hard as everyone else to make sure he would succeed. Moore’s goal is to be a starting center, which requires a lot of body strength. Even though he is missing an arm, he makes up for it with his fast movements and strength, making him the perfect choice for this position.
Moore looks up to the Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and aims to be just like him one day. Moore’s hard work even got him noticed by his hero. After seeing a video of Moore playing football, Kelce sent him one back. Kelce told Moore that his perseverance is a great encouragement to him. He even invited Moore to join him and the Eagles at their training camp so they could meet him.
Moore’s coach Frank Holmes agrees with Kelce and compliments Moore’s perseverance. “The thing I can say about Colin is this: he was born with a challenging situation, but every day he has a positive attitude and focuses fully on whatever he does. He trains hard.”
56. What makes Moore different from other athletes? (no more than 10 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. How did Moore achieve his goal? (no more than 5 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
58. What did Jason Kelce do after seeing Moore play? (no more than 20 words)

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于没有收到回复,他决定再给人事经理写一封信,关于他的工作申请。句中已有谓语动词decided,且空处无连词,故空处应用非谓语动词形式。receive与其逻辑主语he之间是主动关系,且“没有收到回复”这一动作发生在“决定再写信”之前,所以应用现在分词的完成式;非谓语动词的否定形式是在其前加not,“Not having received”符合语境,故选C。

Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none---that’s because all of Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas(画布)---the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then,Jim has traveled over 1, 800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven't changed---all he needs is a stick, a garden rake (耙子) and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, looking for perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance (自由职业的) drawing, was created in the desert sand of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2015. Jim Denevan is not just about art in the sand-he is also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms,with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
41. What do we know about Denevan?

The moment the alarm goes off in the morning, the battle between children and parents begins. “Pack your bag quickly!” “Have you gathered all your books?” “Hurry up or you will be late!” The sounds of anxiety and impatience keep ringing in our cars. It’s fair to say that being too slow to pack a schoolbag or forgetting books is a common problem for primary and secondary school students. To solve this issue, we invented a smart schoolbag called “Zhi An Qi”, which means “intelligent, reassuring and complete”. It’s equipped with powerful functions.
We wanted to make our schoolbag easy to use. With a click, it can automatically display which books are inside and which ones are missing according to your daily schedule.
To scan several books at a time, we researched available technologies. However, we found that these technologies didn’t meet our needs. Disappointed, we went to a library to explore more options. What the librarian was doing interested us. Using a machine to scan a cart of books, he could see the returned books on the computer right away. After looking through the Internet, we soon discovered what he was using: radio frequency identification (RFTD, 射频识别). This technology provided the solution that could work for our schoolbag. We quickly made a plan and distributed the tasks. Some members began programming with MicroPython, while others created the circuit (电路) using a universal board (通用插件板). With our combined efforts, we designed the basic functions of the smart schoolbag and successfully applied for a patent (专利).
Creating just a model didn’t satisfy us. What we wanted was to turn it into a real product. To this end, we began commercial operations, such as writing a business plan and contacting producers. In the next stage, we will continue to upgrade the scan panel, making it removable and presenting it as a scanning accessory (附件).
“Of course, the process was quite difficult, as it was our first time developing a product,” said one teams member. “But if you stay determined, you will find that all the storms will pass, and eventually all the efforts will bring you victory.”
46. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?
A. Stress the importance of being organized.
B. Introduce the topic of a smart schoolbag.
C. Highlight the problem of packing up a schoolbag.
D. Complain about anxiety and impatience from parents.
47. Where did the team get their inspiration according to Paragraph 3?
A. The popular bags. B. The existing AI technology.
C. The librarian’s scanning technology. D. The roar of anxiety and impatience.
48. What does the author plan to do in the future?
A. Contact manufacturers with a business plan.
B. Apply for a patent and make a more satisfied model.
C. Update the panel into a removable scanning accessory.
D. Improve the panel to make it more advanced and independent.
49. What is probably the author’s attitude toward the development of the new schoolbag?
A. Worried. B. Unconcerned. C. Uncertain. D. Positive.
50. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Smart Schoolbag B. Efficient Packing
C. The Challenges of Invention D. Technology in Education
【答案】46. B 47. C 48. C 49. D 50. A

After looking through the Internet, we soon discovered what he was using: radio frequency identification (RFTD, 射频识别). This technology provided the solution that could work for our schoolbag.( 使用一台机器扫描一车书,他可以立即在电脑上看到归还的书籍。通过浏览互联网,我们很快发现了他正在使用的技术:射频识别。这项技术为我们书包的问题提供了解决方案)”以及最后一段““Of course, the process was quite difficult, as it was our first time developing a product,” said one teams member. “But if you stay determined, you will find that all the storms will pass, and eventually all the efforts will bring you victory.”(“当然,过程相当困难,因为这是我们第一次开发产品,”一位团队成员说。“但是如果你保持坚定,你就会发现所有的风暴都会过去,最终所有的努力都会带给你胜利。”)”可知,文章主要介绍了一款名为“Zhi An Qi”的智能书包的研发过程及其功能特点,因此A项“Smart Schoolbag(智能书包)”作为标题最为贴切。故选A项。

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than 7 or 8 years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident(小事件) stuck in my mind because it confirmed(证实) my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
51. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a mental problem in children
B. a mental state present in all humans, including children
C. something that can’t be avoided in children’s mental development
D. something hardly to be expected in a young child
52. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________.
A. through connection with society B. gradually and under guidance(引导)
C. naturally without being taught D. through watching television
53. According to the author, that today’s children seem adultlike results from __________.
A. the widespread influence of television
B. the poor arrangement of teaching content
C. the fast pace of human scientific development
D. the rising standard of living
54. What does the author think of communication through print for children?
A. It enables children to gain more social information
B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.
C. It helps children to read and write well.
D. It can control what children are to learn.
55. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A. He feels their adultlike behavior is so funny
B. He thinks the change worth our attention
C. He considers it a rapid development
D. He is extremely upset about it
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. B

When 16-year-old Colin Moore is out on the football field, he is putting his heart into the game and looks just like any other teenage athlete out there. But what makes him different than the rest, is that he’s playing without part of his arm.
Moore was born without the lower part of his right arm, but he’s never let that stop him from achieving anything he’s put his mind to in his life, including football. “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold, and just move forward no matter what.” Moore said.
Although his arm difference has never got in the way of anything, it’s been a challenge for him. But in everything he does, he’s worked twice as hard as everyone else to make sure he would succeed. Moore’s goal is to be a starting center, which requires a lot of body strength. Even though he is missing an arm, he makes up for it with his fast movements and strength, making him the perfect choice for this position.
Moore looks up to the Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and aims to be just like him one day. Moore’s hard work even got him noticed by his hero. After seeing a video of Moore playing football, Kelce sent him one back. Kelce told Moore that his perseverance is a great encouragement to him. He even invited Moore to join him and the Eagles at their training camp so they could meet him.
Moore’s coach Frank Holmes agrees with Kelce and compliments Moore’s perseverance. “The thing I can say about Colin is this: he was born with a challenging situation, but every day he has a positive attitude and focuses fully on whatever he does. He trains hard.”
