In the survey, foreign students from 18 countries talked about the daily technologies that have changed their life in China. Here are some opinions from 4 students. Luis Spain I’m from Spain. China’s online food delivery is amazing! The apps are so easy to use, and the food always arrives on time, even in rainy days. I can get a hot meal in 30 minutes at any time of the day. Zoe Canada I’m from Canada. I love the shared power banks here l When my phone dies halfway, I can find a shared power bank almost everywhere — in shopping malls, restaurants and even parks. I never worry about my phone running out of power now. Priya India I’m from India. Mobile payment in China is so convenient! I can pay for almost everything with my phone, from buying breakfast to taking a bus. I almost never carry cash with me anymore. Mark Australia I’m from Australia. The high-speed subway in big Chinese cities is great. It’s fast, clean and always on time. It takes me only 40 minutes to go from my university to the city center, which used to take 2 hours by bus. 51. What does Luis think of online food delivery in China? A. Cheap and healthy. B. Slow but tasty. C. Expensive but delicious. D. Fast and dependable. 52. How long does it take Mark to go from his university to the city center by subway? A. 2 hours. B. 30 minutes. C. 40 minutes. D. 50 minutes. 53. Which of the following is true? A. The apps of online food delivery are so easy to use. B. Zoe always worries about the phone running out of power. C. Priya always carries cash and pays for everything with cash. D. High-speed subway is clean and always on time, but not fast. B Mr. Karl Walde was my piano teacher. When I was fourteen, he gave me some advice I would never forget. One day, he asked me how long I practiced each day. “Almost all morning,” I replied. “Do you practice for a long time in one go?” he continued. I said yes. Then he said, “As you grow up, you will have less free time. Start practicing for five or ten minutes whenever you can. Make piano practice a part of your daily life.” Later, when I taught at a university, I was always busy and thought I had no time to write. I often felt worried and didn’t know how to manage my limited time. Then I remembered Mr. Walde’s words clearly. The next week, I tried using every short break to write a few lines. To my surprise, by the end of the week, I had finished plenty of pages. From then on, I used this method for both writing and piano practice. Bit by bit, I discovered short minutes, added together, could become enough time. The secret was to start quickly. If you only have five minutes, don’t waste four thinking. Instead, be ready and act right away. I kept doing this and achieved more than I had expected. Life is made up of minutes and seconds. Although five minutes may seem unimportant, by making full use of them, they can create a strong “golden necklace” of time. As Goethe said, “He who knows how to use time well will always find enough time.” So, whenever you have a little time — waiting for a friend, during a break between classes, or even while waiting for a meal — manage it well. Those short moments can open the door to your dreams and help you make a difference in your life and work. 54. What did Mr. Karl Walde advise the writer to do? A. Practice the piano all morning long. B. Practice the piano for short moments whenever possible. C. Spend more time on writing than on the piano. D. Give up piano practice when he grows up. 55. Why did the writer think he had no time to write at the university? A. Because he was too busy. B. Because he was not good at writing. C. Because he forgot Mr. Walde’s advice. D. Because he had to practice the piano every day. 56. What is the best title of the passage? A. A Strict Piano Teacher B. Value Every Short Minute C. How to Practice the Piano D. My Expected University Life C Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), written by the great scientist Sima Qian, is a famous historical book in ancient China. It has many classic idiom stories that pass down valuable lessons. These stories are not only interesting but also full of wisdom. Here are four well-known ones that are often mentioned in our study. Calling a Deer a Horse: During the Qin Dynasty, there was a tricky minister named Zhao Gao. He wanted to test who supported him in the court, so he took a deer to the emperor and called it a horse. Some court officials were brave enough to tell the truth, but they were punished by Zhao Gao later. After that, no one dared to speak up freely, and everyone was afraid of him. Break the Pots and Sink the Boats: In the late Qin Dynasty, Xiang Yu led his army to fight against the Qin army. After crossing the river, he made a brave decision — he ordered his soldiers to sink all the boats and break all the cooking pots. He only left three days’ food for his soldiers, telling them there was no way to retreat. With no choice, his soldiers fought bravely and finally won the hard war. Sleep on Brushwood and Taste Gall: King Goujian of Yue was defeated by Wu State and suffered great shame. He was taken to Wu and had to live a hard life. After returning to his own state, he never forgot the humiliation (耻辱). He slept on rough firewood and tasted bitter gall (胆) every day to remind himself. He worked hard to develop his country and finally defeated his enemy. Paper Talk on War: Zhao Kuo was good at reading military books and could talk about war easily, but he had no real war experience. When he led Zhao’s army to fight, he only followed the books and made wrong decisions. In the end, his army was completely defeated, which taught people the importance of practice. These four stories from Shiji are very meaningful. They teach us valuable lessons about telling the truth, keeping firm determination, bearing hardship and paying attention to practice. 57. What is Shiji according to the passage? A. A famous story. B. A kind of idiom. C. A great historical book. D. A minister’s name. 58. Why did Zhao Gao call a deer a horse? A. To make the emperor happy. B. To test who supported him. C. He couldn’t tell them apart. D. To play a joke on courtiers. 59. Which story shows the importance of practice? A. Calling a Deer a Horse. B. Break the Pots and Sink the Boats. C. Sleep on Brushwood and Taste Gall. D. Paper Talk on War. 60. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce four idiom stories and their lessons. B. To tell how Sima Qian wrote Shiji. C. To show ancient Chinese wars. D. To teach people to fight bravely. 第二节 阅读表达（共5题；每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。 Does Using AI for Schoolwork Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves? Here is a recent study about whether using AI for schoolwork harms students’ ability to think independently. Researchers divided 54 adults into 2 groups and asked them to write articles. One group used AI, and the other group depended only on their own minds. The results showed that AI users had the lower brain activity and remembered little of what they wrote. This has led to attention about how AI tools influence students’ thinking skills. Let’s hear two opinions. Yes. AI Harms Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves By Jessie I agree with the findings of the study. For example, if a student uses AI to write an essay, they might not learn how to organize their thoughts or have ideas. The study showed that AI users produced “soulless” articles. That is to say, the articles have similar phrases and no creativity. This is similar to copying answers from a friend’s homework. You might get a good grade, but you won’t truly understand the material. Moreover, students’ brains need to grow through practice and effort. Thinking skills improve when students work hard to solve problems. If they depend too much on AI, their brains might become lazy. No! AI Does Not Harm Students’ Ability to Think for Themselves By William I disagree with the idea that AI harms students’ thinking skills. In fact, it can be helpful if used correctly. For example, AI can help students brainstorm ideas or explain difficult concepts. This is like using a calculator (计算器) for math. It helps with the hard parts, but students still need to think about the process. Besides, AI can save time. For example, instead of spending hours researching a topic, a student can use AI to find information in a second and then spend more time analyzing it. This can actually improve their critical thinking skills because they have more time to study the material. The key is not to use AI as a replacement for thinking. Students can use AI to help them while still building their own ideas. 61. What did the writing results show? _______________________________________________________________ 62. What are “soulless” articles like? _______________________________________________________________ 63. According to William, how can AI help students?（回答一个要点即可） _______________________________________________________________ 64.
