B A yearbook is a tradition in some high schools. The book contains the name and the picture of each student in your final year, so that you can remember who you went to school with. A 15-year-old schoolgirl Catherine Cook and her brother David, 16, wanted more than this. They thought, "We don't really know our classmates from just a picture, so why not have a yearbook online? We could learn about people's musical tastes, the movies they like, and so on." With their hard work, a website named my Yearbook was set up, which soon became popular among schoolmates. On the website, members can connect with each other by sharing movies, music, photos and study guides. Some students feel that they don't fit in at school, but can make lots of friends more easily online. My Yearbook users can also make virtual "Lunch Money" by completing activities on the website. They then give it away to charities in the my Yearbook "causes" programme, which has sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 20,000 kilos of rice for people without enough food. Running the website did not stop Catherine and David from completing their schoolwork successfully. Now, they go on to university, but still manage to put in 50 hours a week developing the website. 59. Why did Catherine and David want to have a yearbook online? A. To make more money. B. To become popular at school. C. To know more about schoolmates. D. To watch movies online. 60. What is "Lunch Money" used for? A. Travelling to Africa. B. Helping people in need. C. Running the website. D. Completing schoolwork. 61. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The members on the website. B. People who set up the website. C. Things members can do on the website. D. How people feel about the website. 62. What is the best title for the text? A. An Online Yearbook B. The Website Activities C. A Charity Programme D. The Final Year at School C Zhao Shengliang, head of the Dunhuang Research Centre, gave a talk at Shenzhen Book City CBD Store on December 1, 2026. The talk was about how digital technology could help protect traditional culture. "Dunhuang connects the Eastern and Western cultures," Zhao said. "It shows how different cultures exchange ideas. Making the relics digital is very important because it can keep the old things from Dunhuang safe forever." Zhao showed how digital technology was used in Dunhuang's art projects. For example, at the Mogao Grottoes Digital Tour Centre, tourists can explore the Mogao Grottoes through virtual tours, where tourists can "travel back" to the caves in ancient times. According to Zhao, with the AR map, tourists can have an excellent experience at Dunhuang. This map can provide AI-guided tours as well as interesting activities like taking pictures with a virtual deer. Dunhuang's Mogao Grottoes, with ancient art, are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although the Digital Dunhuang project has a long way to go, it shows a new idea of protecting cultural relics and better helps spread traditional culture across the world. 63. What was Zhao Shengliang's talk about? A. The use of digital technology. B. The history of the Mogao Grottoes. C. The importance of Shenzhen Book City. D. The achievements of Dunhuang Research Centre. 64. Why is making Dunhuang relics digital important? A. Because it makes Dunhuang popular. B. Because it improves traditional culture. C. Because it connects the East and the West. D. Because it keeps relics from Dunhuang safe. 65. What can tourists do at the Mogao Grottoes Digital Centre? A. Take pictures with a real deer. B. Make pictures with digital tools. C. Design an AR map by themselves. D. Experience virtual tours to ancient times. D A new and exciting invention now allows the deaf people to see conversations in real time. Using augmented reality (AR) glasses and a smartphone, the deaf and hearing-impaired people are also able to join in everyday conversations. The AR glasses were developed by Dan Scarfe after he had dinner with his family. The man saw his hearing-impaired grandfather sitting alone in silence while the rest of the family were talking excitedly. This reminded him that his grandfather was always watching TV shows with subtitles. Because of this experience, he realised that he should do something to help. Scarfe got to work with an AR glasses maker. Six months later, a new pair of AR glasses came out. The glasses first receive the audio and send it to a connected smartphone. The phone then creates subtitles from that audio. With the help of software, these subtitles appear on the user's glasses screen. The company first tested the glasses in the UK. The UK was chosen as a testing ground because more than 12 million adults in Britain have hearing loss. However, when the product goes global, it can change the lives of some 430 million people. This is about 5% of the world's population and includes 70 million people with total hearing loss. This is a game changer for the deaf. Mark Atkinson, who is using the AR glasses, says, "As a deaf person, I am blown away by this new technology. When I tried on the glasses for the first time, I was so amazed. Real-time subtitles made me become part of the conversation as never before." 66. Who is the new invention helpful for? A. Workers with writing problems. B. Teenagers with reading problems. C. People with hearing problems. D. Grandparents with speech problems. 67. Where did Scarfe's idea of the new invention come from? A. TV shows. B. A smartphone. C. An AR glasses maker. D. His experience with his family. 68. What does the underlined part "blown away" in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Surprised.    B. Calm.    C. Afraid.    D. Angry. 69. Where can we probably read this text? A. In a travel guide. B. In a science magazine. C. In a history book. D. In a movie poster. E What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control. 3-D printing is another new technology for the future. 3-D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3-D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people's life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 70. 【新考法·写作手法】How does the writer start the text? A. By telling a story. B. By giving a talk. C. By giving advice. D. By asking a question. 71. Which one of the following is NOT true? A. Flying cars can completely solve traffic problems. B. 3-D printing will change the way doctors treat patients. C. As for robot suits, the high cost is the main problem at the moment. D. Technology is expected to make our life more convenient and solve certain problems. 72. 【新考法·篇章结构】What is the structure of this text? A. ① // ②③④ // ⑤ B. ① // ② // ③④ // ⑤ C. ① // ②③ // ④ // ⑤ D. ① // ②③④⑤ 第二节 阅读表达 F Mr Guo is a teacher from a middle school. He asked his students to hand in their homework through QR codes. The QR codes can be sent to Mr Guo by email, QQ or WeChat. When Guo scans his students' QR codes, their homework appears on his smartphone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos. Guo's students like the new way and think it is interesting. "We are living in the information era. Many students like to work on computers, which makes learning more fun," said Tingting, a student of Guo's. "The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share." Guo said, "It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times." However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend more time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the codes when they hand in their homework, which doesn't take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students' work at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students. 73. How can the QR codes be sent to Mr Guo? (不超过5个词) _____________________________________________________________________ 74. What is one of the advantages of the new way of handing in homework? (不超过10个词) _____________________________________________________________________ 75. What do some parents worry about?

Reading can not only help us get knowledge but also open up our eyes to the world. There are many ways to read, such as reading paper books, newspapers, or reading online, and even listening to audiobooks through apps. My favourite way of reading is reading e-books on my tablet. I choose this way for two reasons. First, it is very convenient. I can carry hundreds of books with me wherever I go, without the weight of paper books. Second, I can adjust the font size and background colour to protect my eyes. Also, I can look up new words instantly while reading. In a word, e-books make reading easier and more enjoyable for me. I will keep reading in this way and learn more every day. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
