If you look closely around your city, you might see hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group (汉族传统服饰). In a recently published report by online shopping website Tmall, more than 2 million hanfu were sold in 2020. The number of hanfu buyers increased by 92 percent compared to 2019. The average age of buyers was 21, with about 52 percent between 19 and 24 years old. But why has this traditional clothing become popular among young Chinese people? For some of them, it’s a costume for relaxation. Wang Kehan, a 24-year-old college student, said that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to escape (逃离) the trouble of real life.“hanfu and modern clothing help me to show the different sides in me, ” she explained. Other young people like hanfu because of the culture behind it. They regard it as a way to reconnect with traditions. Its wide sleeves (袖子), crossed collars and flowing robes (飘逸的长袍) bring people back to ancient times. That’s probably why some fans have started to bring the traditional clothing abroad. Maybe in the future, hanfu will have more and more fans. 1．Was more hanfu sold in 2020 than in 2019? 2．What are hanfu’s special parts that bring people back to ancient times? 3．Why has hanfu become popular among young Chinese people? 4．Would you like to wear hanfu in public places? Why or why not? Passage 2 (25-26九上·重庆西南大学附属中学·期中) Wuyishan in Fujian Province has been a famous production area for rock tea since ancient times. Wuyi Rock Tea was highly praised in Chinese history and was traded along the ancient Tea Horse Road. The processing of the tea, with a history of over 1,000 years, must go through several steps including picking, withering (萎凋), roasting (烘焙) and rolling (捻揉). Fresh tea leaves are green, but after roasting and aging, they become dark and tightly twisted. The roasting process lasts for hours and is key to developing the tea’s special flavor (风味). Even today, much of the work is done by hand. In a traditional tea workshop in Wuyishan, workers dressed in simple clothing carefully roast and roll tea leaves over charcoal fires. “They are not performers. In fact, they are skilled masters,” says Mr. Chen, the workshop manager. “As more people learn about Wuyi Rock Tea, our visitors show great interest in how the tea is made and its cultural stories.” At the same time, to ensure high quality, modern technology has also been introduced. In new tea factories, temperature and humidity are digitally controlled. “We use modern equipment to assist (辅助) in roasting and drying, which makes the process more precise,” Mr. Chen explains. “Although machines help with some steps, the key roasting and aging are still done in the traditional way, so the tea’s original taste remains.” In recent years, the Wuyi Rock Tea industry has also been adapting to (适应) new trends. While carrying on traditional methods, it has welcomed creative ideas such as rock tea ice cream, tea-flavored chocolates, and even rock tea coffee. 5．Has Wuyi Rock Tea become famous only recently? 6．Why is the roasting process so important? 7．What are the main features (特点) of the Wuyi Rock Tea industry nowadays? 8．If you have a chance to create a new rock tea product, what will it be and why? Choose one to explain. (about 30 words) Passage 3 (24-25九上·重庆四川外语学院重庆第二外国语学校·期中) Have you watched Escape From the British Museum? This short video series (系列) was directed by two Chinese vloggers (视频博主). They went to the UK last June and spent three months making the series. There are three videos in the series. Each video is less than ten minutes long. In the story, a Chinese jade teapot (玉壶) turns into a girl. She runs out of the British Museum and meets a Chinese news reporter. With his help, she finally goes back to China. Some lines in the series are very touching. One example is, “Family, I have been lost for a long time.” The vloggers say they want to draw attention to Chinese cultural relics (文物) abroad. During the Second Opium War (第二次鸦片战争), British and French soldiers stole the Old Summer Palace. The stolen relics were sent to museums across Europe. Today, the British Museum has about 23,000 Chinese relics. Last August, a piece of news shocked the world. About 2,000 relics had been stolen from the British Museum. Some of them were from about 3,500 years ago. Many countries have doubted the safety of the museum. The two vloggers started posting their series last August 30. It soon became very popular. Many viewers began discussing the return of Chinese relics. This shows people’s love for traditional Chinese culture. It also shows that short videos can be more than just fun. “The series sends out an important voice,” said one of the viewers. “We want the Chinese relics to come back!” 9．Did the two Chinese vloggers go to the US last June? 10．How many Chinese relics does the British museum have? 11．What does the short video series bring us Chinese? 12．What else can we do to protect our Chinese cultural relics (文物) abroad? Passage 4 (22-23九上·重庆第八中学校·期中) Dads have Father’s Day. Moms have Mother’s Day. Kids have Children’s Day. But, do our grandparents have a special holiday? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people. This year it falls on October 4th. There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called “zhuyu” to celebrate it . Both chrysanthemum and “zhuyu” are considered as clean plants that can clean houses and treat diseases. It is a traditional virtue (美德) in China to respect elderly people .Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people. Chinese people believe that to respect the elderly people is to respect themselves tomorrow. 13．Do Chinese people celebrate the Double Ninth Festival on September the ninth of the lunar calendar every year? 14．How do people respect the elderly people on the bus? 15．Why do Chinese people respect elderly people? 16．When you grow up into an adult, will you choose to live with the old in your family?

Today, Tom, Anna and Jack will talk about how tech helps them in daily life—and how to use it wisely. Tom (13, Beijing)—E-reader I got an E-reader last year. It’s small and light, so I can carry it easily. It holds hundreds of books, so I never run out of stories. I get new books online instead of buying paper ones. The screen is kind to eyes, even for long reads. But it needs charging (充电). Once it died mid-story—I learned to charge it on time, so it never stops when I need it. Anna (14, Chengdu)—Smart Watch My mom bought me a smart watch. It tells time, counts steps, and pushes me to walk more. It reminds me to drink water when I’m busy. Last week, I fell when running, and it messaged Mom quickly. But it needs my phone nearby. I keep them close but don’t check it too often—so it helps, not distracts (分心). Jack (13, Hangzhou)—Online Study Apps I use study apps daily. They have video lessons and practice exercises. Have problems with math? I can turn to them for help. They check homework fast, too. But I set a timer (计时器) now. If I use them too long, I will forget to rest, which will be bad for my eyes. Controlling time lets them help me learn better. Host: Thanks for sharing. Tech is useful, but it can’t replace (代替) everything. We need to control it properly. That way, it serves us best. 17．Can Tom’s E-reader hold many books? 18．What can Anna’s smart watch remind her to do? 19．What things do the three tech products have in common? 20．Share your own experience about using high technology wisely. (About 30 words.) Passage 2 (25-26九上·重庆合川区·期中) AI is quickly becoming part of everyday life. According to a 2024 survey, adults in the US interact with AI several times a day. We wonder: Should people be polite to AI during these interactions? Here’s what four students have to say about it. Aubrey AI systems learn from interacting with people. This means a person’s behaviour influences AI’s responses. I’ve read that using polite language in our prompts (提示) can lead to well-sourced (来源可靠的) information with fewer mistakes. Hanming AI doesn’t have feelings. Sometimes, too many polite words can confuse AI. For example, if someone asks AI to correct a paragraph with many mistakes but says, “Could you please, make some small changes?” AI might make only tiny changes. In this example, being too polite, you may take the risk of creating big problems. And AI won’t do what you really want it to. Ethan I think we should be polite to AI, just like we are to other people. Our world needs more kindness, and when we practice it—whether toward people or technology—kindness can spread. Being kind, even to AI, helps build good habits. Asha In my opinion, being polite or not isn’t important. It’s better to focus on being clear and direct. I’m sure we can all agree that being polite to living creatures is important. But being smart about the use of AI holds more value than wondering if we should be polite to a machine. Let’s lead our lives with honesty and kindness, but let’s also focus on using technology for efficiency (效率). 21．According to Asha, is it important to be polite? 22．What topic are they talking about? 23．What are the advantages of being polite to AI? 24．Whose idea do you agree with most? Why? Passage 3 (23-24九上·重庆渝北区六校联盟·期中) Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it to create human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing range (范围) of a real person! People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write a piece of writing on history, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even asked it for advice on how to communicate with people at a Party, reported The Atlantic. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make arms, it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many ethical issues (道德问题), such as the issue of copyright and the definition (定义) of art. Since the system is largely trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases (偏见) and stereotupes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve. 25．Is ChatGPT a robot writer? 26．Where did people post their results after they tried ChatGPT? 27．What are the advantages (优势) of ChatGPT? 28．Will you use AI writing when you finish your schoolwork? Why or Why not? ( about 30 words). Passage 4 (22-23八下·重庆沙坪坝区·期末) Can you imagine an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) competing with you in an examination? Do you think you could get higher marks than it? A new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently passed the exam in a law school. Don’t you think it is crazy? The use of ChatGPT has got a lot of attention in the education world and there are many discussions about it. Let’s have a look. If you type (打字) in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got through many difficulties to sing among the stars. Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm. It has won more than 900 million users since it came out in November, 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and e-mails, translate (翻译) languages, and answer all kinds of questions. Why is ChatGPT such an excellent robot? Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database (数据库) for training. It also learns things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make it right. The knowledge level of ChatGPT is similar to a college student. That’s why it surprised the world. But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives wrong information. These are things that need to be done with. 29．Did ChatGPT pass the exam in a law school recently? 30．If you type in some key words and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story, what will happen? 31．What makes ChatGPT an excellent robot? 32．Will you use ChatGPT to help with your writing? Why? 主题03 人与自我 Passage 1 (25-26九上·重庆合川区合川中学教共体·月考) How to Stay Safe Online No matter whether you like it or not, social media (社交媒体) is becoming a big part of many teenagers’ lives.

Ted and I were in the same class. He sat next to me. He had serious problems in communicating with others. We always had to guess what he was saying. Besides, most of my classmates did not like to play with him because his hands and shirts were always dirty. I told him several times a day to wash his hands. I tried to let him know the importance of being clean. But he just didn’t listen. I really disliked him. But I didn’t know how to change him. One day, our teacher Miss Hsieh walked to Ted. She said nothing. She took Ted to the washroom. Miss Hsieh washed his hands slowly and told Ted that he should keep himself clean. She did that every day for one week. Finally, Ted understood what Miss Hsieh wanted him to do. Miss Hsieh’s love gave me a good example. When I became a teacher, I began to teach my students by showing them the right ways to do things.

I’d like to say thanks to Miss Hsieh because I have learned a lot from her. 37．Did Ted like to talk a lot? 38．What was wrong with Ted’s hands and shirts? 39．What do you think of Miss Hsieh? 40．Do you want to be a teacher like Miss Hsieh?

Do you have any ideas? Please help me. Peter: Advice Hey, there! I had a similar experience in high school. When classmates I didn’t like invited me out, I said I was busy. In the end, they stopped asking. Another way is to ask more people to join when she asks to hang out. This helps her make other friends and makes you feel less stressed (不那么有压力的). Hao Yi: Advice I understand how hard it could be to deal with this. Why not be honest (诚实的) and friendly? You can say, “I like you, but we’re different. I hope you can understand.” When you say this, make sure your tone (语气) is gentle and sincere (真诚的), so she understands you. Also, be true to yourself!

This is the first time that a Chinese has won the Olympic gold medal in women’s singles tennis, and the second in tennis after Li Ting and Sun Tiantian won the women’s doubles title at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. “Nothing can describe my feeling right now, it is unreal. I have always been hoping to get a gold medal for China. Finally, I made it.” Zheng said excitedly after the last competition. She loves her country so much, playing for China has given her energy as well as power. Although she was very tired after the 3-hour competition, she fought on because she thinks national honor surpasses (超越) personal honor. She must fight for her country. Zheng’s journey to victory was filled with challenges but she faced these difficulties bravely and made all her efforts to do it better. In the end, she made history, and the whole world remembered her name. She encouraged young people to dream bravely because only by dreaming can you have a goal to achieve. She continued, “Be sure to enjoy the process because all the failures are for the moment of success.

Why or why not? (At least 20 words) Passage 2 (25-26九上·重庆第一中学教育集团·期中) Do you remember the 2021 Henan flood? A Chinese sports brand Hongxing Erke won people’s hearts through its sincere act. Although its products didn’t sell very well, it still quietly gave away 50 million yuan. Later, this act was known by the public, which deeply moved people across the country, making people feel the brand’s strong sense of social responsibility. Millions of people rushed to buy its products to show their support. The brand became popular overnight. What makes Hongxing Erke successfully build its brand? It’s emotional branding (情感品牌) that helps it. What is Emotional Branding? Emotional branding means building a brand by connecting it with people’s feelings. It helps customers not only remember a product but also develop a strong connection with it. Successful emotional branding makes people feel happy and touched to stay with the brand for a long time. However, not every brand can successfully use emotional branding. Here are two examples. Arc’teryx, an outdoor brand, held a fireworks show in the Himalayas recently, which sparked controversy (争议) because many people believed fireworks did harm to nature. At first, the brand remained silent and did nothing to deal with the problem, which made the public very angry. Then, the brand had to explain they used safe materials which were environmentally-friendly but this was far from the truth. When the investigation (调查) was held, Arc’teryx finally said sorry. However, it was too late. The brand lost both its good reputation and customers. Another example is Xibei, a famous restaurant brand. When facing customers’ doubt about selling pre-cooked food, the boss quickly fought back, “100% no pre-cooked food!”. However, reporters found frozen pre-cooked food in the kitchens, proving (证明) that the boss was lying. Also, the brand even made up “touching stories”, hoping to divert (转移) people’s attention about pre-cooked food. But this had nothing to do with solving the real problem. Instead, this made things worse. Few people went to Xibei Restaurant and it suffered a great loss. 53．Does successful emotional branding make people feel happy and touched? 54．What did people do after knowing Hongxing Erke gave away 50 million yuan to the Henan flood? 55．What mistakes did Arc’teryx and Xibei make in common as failed examples of emotional branding? 56．If you are the boss of Arc’teryx or Xibei, can you say something to compensate (补偿) for the mistake? Share your words. (about 30 words) Dear customers, Passage 3 (25-26九上·重庆巴蜀中学教育集团·期中) The Hidden War for Your Attention On social media, you often see the same kinds of videos and opinions. When this happens, you are being designed. There is a hidden war for your attention. Behind these apps, thousands of engineers and psychologists work together. They study when you feel happy or bored. They test what makes you watch “just one more” video. This is the work of algorithms (算法) —computer programs that follow rules to solve problems. Every time you click, “like,” or watch a video, you leave a digital footprint. The algorithm uses this information to show you more content that you will probably enjoy. For example, if you watch a cooking video, the system will show you more food videos. If you stop watching quickly, it will try something more exciting. You aren’t really choosing content—the content is choosing you. Remember this important truth: if you don’t pay for the product, you are the product. Your time and attention are sold to advertisers. The more you watch, the more money the platform makes. Your addiction (上瘾) means their success. This system is now everywhere in social media, shopping apps, and even learning tools. They all use the same methods to keep you clicking and watching. The real “hackers” (黑客) are not hacking your computer but are hacking your brain. They use your love for new things and your fear of missing out to keep you watching. You are fighting against a super-brain made of technology and psychology. How can we protect ourselves? 1. Set time limits-maybe 30 minutes per day. 2. Turn off autoplay—don’t let the app decide what’s next. 3. Take regular breaks—have one phone-free day each week. 4. Be careful with emotional content—exciting or worrying videos are often traps. Remember, you are not just a user—you are in a war for your attention. But you have a choice. You can be a trained user, or you can be an awake user. What will you choose? 57．Do algorithms on social media work to make you watch more videos? 58．According to the text, what two things do the “real hackers” use to keep you watching? 59．What does this sentence “If you don’t pay for the product, you are the product.” really mean? 60．Answer this question “What will you choose?” and explain your opinions. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 (25-26九上·重庆四川外国语学校·期中) Anyone can shine in his field if he keeps creating beauty with his hands. “Failed.” Seeing the result of the test, Wang Wenwang felt his dream of becoming a wood restorer (木作修复师) lay in pieces. That night, he sat alone, looking at his tools. “Maybe I need more practice.” he thought. He reached for a piece of wood, ready to try again. For years as an apprentice (学徒) , he has tried his best to do the work as carefully as possible. In 2005, Wang started to dream of setting up a museum to help more people learn about traditional Chinese handicrafts (手工艺) . To make his dream come true, he wrote the plans himself many times and asked experts for advice. He spent a lot of time collecting wooden cultural relics (文物). It cost him much money. But none of these stopped him. Thanks to people like Wang, traditional Chinese handicrafts are being passed down in a way that we can’t see. At five o’clock in the morning, the lights were already on at Beijing Minzu Hotel. The head pastry chef (面点主厨) , Zhao Huilian, was making the Lion’s Head-shaped pastries. What he made looked so real. However, it was difficult for him to keep up with his teacher in the beginning. It took him nearly three years to perfect the Lion’s Head pastry shape. For the filling, he tested more than 100 different recipes before finding the best one. Repeating these movements every day made his fingers hurt so much. During that time, he kept telling himself, “I truly enjoy doing this. I believe my efforts today will show results someday. ” Now, he is good at making these traditional pastries. He hopes to pass down his Chinese pastry-making skills to young people. 61．Did Wang Wenwang become a wood restorer in the beginning? 62．How long did it take Zhao Huilian to perfect the Lion’s Head pastry shape? 63．What qualities do the two workers have in common? 64．What will you do when facing their situations in the beginning?

According to a report in 2023 by a travel company, posts about stamps have been popular on many travel platforms (平台). Kuang Zhaoxin, a 25-year-old designer, enjoys collecting stamps. For her, this is a great way to record her trips and gives her “a sense of ceremony (仪式)”. Once during a two-day trip to Beijing, she collected over 80 stamps! Zhang Boren, a 12-year-old teenager from Beijing, said collecting stamps helps him learn about the culture and history of a place. He bought many special stamps when he went to Washington D．C． in the US. The words on the stamps are written in the way people wrote in the 18th century. “It’s very amazing to see them,” he said. Zhang also exchanges stamps with his friends. “This encourages us to visit more places,” said Zhang. In the time of social media, tourists are excited to share their collecting ideas with others online. Gong Jian, the deputy head of the Wuhan Branch of the China Tourism Academy, said that this makes offline check-ins (打卡) and online communication a useful way of culture and tourism promotion (推广). 65．Is stamp collecting now a big hobby for young people to remember their travels? 66．How many stamps does Kuang Zhaoxin collect during her 2-day trip to Beijing? 67．Why does Zhang Boren exchange stamps with his friends? 68．Do you want to be a stamp collector?

Yesterday I forgot to hand in my math homework because I was preparing for a speech contest!” How to manage time wisely? Dr. Greena psychologist Many students have problems with time management. They always feel hard to complete all the tasks well in limited time. The key to solving this problem is not to do more, but to do what truly matters. Start by listing your priorities (优先级) and cutting out unnecessary tasks. They can help you save a lot of time you can use to relax. Emmaa top student from Beijing I use the “Pomodoro Technique”: study 25 minutes, rest 5 minutes. This keeps me focused. After a long period of working or studying, our brains need to have a rest for a while. Therefore, we need to schedule rest time. Also, I often say “no” to those activities that are not useful for helping me achieve my goals. DeepSeeka Chinese AI tool Effective (有效的) time management requires clear plans. Try breaking tasks into smaller steps and set deadlines for each. For example, if you plan to finish a novel with 300 pages in one month. You can make yourself finish 10 pages every day in 30 minutes before you go to bed. It’s easier to succeed in finishing the task by doing this. Besides, use apps like calendar or to-do lists.

About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs, I heard Kevin crying in his room. I knocked on the door and asked, “Kevin, do you want to talk?” There was no answer. I tried again. Still, nothing happened. So, I took a piece of paper and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write a note.” and slipped (使滑动) it under the door. I sat on the floor outside his door and waited for an hour. Finally, a note slipped out. As I read it, I couldn’t help crying. It said, “I lost the fight again. I can never beat Tommy. I failed my math exam. I think I can never learn math well. Besides, Tommy thinks that I am too weak and doesn’t want to play basketball with me. You and Dad are never around even to notice me.” He was right about my part. Feeling sorry for him, I wrote back, “________.” I could hear him crying softly. Half an hour later, a note with “Thanks” came out. I wrote back, “For what?” He returned, “Loving me.” Since then, I have tried my best to care about my family members. When one of us notices that someone is unhappy, we’ll smile and say, “Write a note.” 81．Did Kevin win the fight against Tommy? 82．How did Kevin’s mother communicate with him? 83．According to Kevin’s note, what did he think of himself and his family? 84．What may Kevin’s mother write back to him?

Passage 2 (25-26九上·重庆西南大学附属中学·期中) Wuyishan in Fujian Province has been a famous production area for rock tea since ancient times. Wuyi Rock Tea was highly praised in Chinese history and was traded along the ancient Tea Horse Road. The processing of the tea, with a history of over 1,000 years, must go through several steps including picking, withering (萎凋), roasting (烘焙) and rolling (捻揉). Fresh tea leaves are green, but after roasting and aging, they become dark and tightly twisted. The roasting process lasts for hours and is key to developing the tea’s special flavor (风味). Even today, much of the work is done by hand. In a traditional tea workshop in Wuyishan, workers dressed in simple clothing carefully roast and roll tea leaves over charcoal fires. “They are not performers. In fact, they are skilled masters,” says Mr. Chen, the workshop manager. “As more people learn about Wuyi Rock Tea, our visitors show great interest in how the tea is made and its cultural stories.” At the same time, to ensure high quality, modern technology has also been introduced. In new tea factories, temperature and humidity are digitally controlled. “We use modern equipment to assist (辅助) in roasting and drying, which makes the process more precise,” Mr. Chen explains. “Although machines help with some steps, the key roasting and aging are still done in the traditional way, so the tea’s original taste remains.” In recent years, the Wuyi Rock Tea industry has also been adapting to (适应) new trends. While carrying on traditional methods, it has welcomed creative ideas such as rock tea ice cream, tea-flavored chocolates, and even rock tea coffee. 5．Has Wuyi Rock Tea become famous only recently? 6．Why is the roasting process so important? 7．What are the main features (特点) of the Wuyi Rock Tea industry nowadays? 8．If you have a chance to create a new rock tea product, what will it be and why?

It’s small and light, so I can carry it easily. It holds hundreds of books, so I never run out of stories. I get new books online instead of buying paper ones. The screen is kind to eyes, even for long reads. But it needs charging (充电). Once it died mid-story—I learned to charge it on time, so it never stops when I need it. Anna (14, Chengdu)—Smart Watch My mom bought me a smart watch. It tells time, counts steps, and pushes me to walk more. It reminds me to drink water when I’m busy. Last week, I fell when running, and it messaged Mom quickly. But it needs my phone nearby. I keep them close but don’t check it too often—so it helps, not distracts (分心). Jack (13, Hangzhou)—Online Study Apps I use study apps daily. They have video lessons and practice exercises. Have problems with math? I can turn to them for help. They check homework fast, too. But I set a timer (计时器) now. If I use them too long, I will forget to rest, which will be bad for my eyes. Controlling time lets them help me learn better. Host: Thanks for sharing.

Passage 2 (25-26九上·重庆合川区·期中) AI is quickly becoming part of everyday life. According to a 2024 survey, adults in the US interact with AI several times a day. We wonder: Should people be polite to AI during these interactions? Here’s what four students have to say about it. Aubrey AI systems learn from interacting with people. This means a person’s behaviour influences AI’s responses. I’ve read that using polite language in our prompts (提示) can lead to well-sourced (来源可靠的) information with fewer mistakes. Hanming AI doesn’t have feelings. Sometimes, too many polite words can confuse AI. For example, if someone asks AI to correct a paragraph with many mistakes but says, “Could you please, make some small changes?” AI might make only tiny changes. In this example, being too polite, you may take the risk of creating big problems. And AI won’t do what you really want it to. Ethan I think we should be polite to AI, just like we are to other people. Our world needs more kindness, and when we practice it—whether toward people or technology—kindness can spread. Being kind, even to AI, helps build good habits. Asha In my opinion, being polite or not isn’t important. It’s better to focus on being clear and direct. I’m sure we can all agree that being polite to living creatures is important. But being smart about the use of AI holds more value than wondering if we should be polite to a machine. Let’s lead our lives with honesty and kindness, but let’s also focus on using technology for efficiency (效率). 21．According to Asha, is it important to be polite? 22．What topic are they talking about? 23．What are the advantages of being polite to AI? 24．Whose idea do you agree with most? Why? 【答案】21．No, it isn’t. 22．Whether people should be polite to AI during interactions./The topic is whether people should be polite to AI when interacting with it. 23．First, it can make AI provide well-sourced information with fewer mistakes. Second, it helps spread kindness and build good habits. 24．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I agree with Aubrey most. Because her idea is very practical. Being polite to AI is not just about manners, but a way to get better and more accurate results, which is the main purpose of using AI tools. 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“人们在与AI互动时是否应该有礼貌”这一话题，收录了四位学生的不同观点：Aubrey认为礼貌能让AI提供更可靠的信息；Hanming觉得AI无情感，过度礼貌可能造成误解；Ethan主张对AI礼貌如同对人，能传递善意、培养好习惯；Asha则认为礼貌不重要，重点应放在表达清晰、提升效率上。 【详解】21．根据“Asha | In my opinion, being polite or not isn’t important.”可知，Asha认为礼貌并不重要。题干为一般疑问句，需用简洁否定句回应。故填No, it isn’t. 22．文章导语部分在引出背景后，直接提出了核心问题：“We wonder: Should people be polite to AI during these interactions?

Passage 3 (23-24九上·重庆渝北区六校联盟·期中) Type in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who clawed his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company OpenAI developed it to create human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AI of its kind, with the complete writing range (范围) of a real person! People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write a piece of writing on history, some asked it to take notes of presentations, and some even asked it for advice on how to communicate with people at a Party, reported The Atlantic. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on the theory of evolution (进化论). But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make arms, it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT comes along at a time when AI is becoming increasingly able to do creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to tell from those made by humans. This causes many ethical issues (道德问题), such as the issue of copyright and the definition (定义) of art. Since the system is largely trained using words from the Internet, it can also pick up on the Internet’s biases (偏见) and stereotupes (刻板印象) about certain groups. These are all the things that depend on humans to solve. 25．Is ChatGPT a robot writer? 26．Where did people post their results after they tried ChatGPT? 27．What are the advantages (优势) of ChatGPT? 28．Will you use AI writing when you finish your schoolwork? Why or Why not? ( about 30 words). 【答案】25．Yes./ Yes, it is. 26．On social media. 27．It has quick speed and understanding of complicated matters and it doesn’t answer the dark, harmful questions. 28．Yes, because I can save my time and learn a lot about my subjects./ No, because if we want to express ourselves well and develop our writing ability, we need to think and write by ourselves instead of depending on AI writing. (言之有理皆可) 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一种机器人作家ChatGPT。 【详解】25．根据“This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT.”可知，ChatGPT是一个机器人作家。故填Yes./ Yes, it is. 26．根据“People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media.”可知，他们把成果发布在社交媒体上。故填On social media. 27．根据“The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters.”和“Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make arms, it will not give you an answer.”可知，ChatGPT的优势在于速度和对困难问题的理解，以及不会回答黑暗、有害的问题。故填It has quick speed and understanding of complicated matters and it doesn’t answer the dark, harmful questions. 28．开放性题目，答案合理即可，参考答案为Yes, because I can save my time and learn a lot about my subjects./ No, because if we want to express ourselves well and develop our writing ability, we need to think and write by ourselves instead of depending on AI writing. Passage 4 (22-23八下·重庆沙坪坝区·期末) Can you imagine an AI chatbot (聊天机器人) competing with you in an examination? Do you think you could get higher marks than it? A new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently passed the exam in a law school. Don’t you think it is crazy? The use of ChatGPT has got a lot of attention in the education world and there are many discussions about it. Let’s have a look. If you type (打字) in “A cat wants to go to space” and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get the story of Max, who got through many difficulties to sing among the stars. Developed by US company OpenAI, ChatGPT has taken the Internet by storm. It has won more than 900 million users since it came out in November, 2022. People can ask the robot to write stories and e-mails, translate (翻译) languages, and answer all kinds of questions. Why is ChatGPT such an excellent robot? Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database (数据库) for training. It also learns things by itself. For example, if it provides a wrong answer to your question, you can tell it the right one and it will make it right. The knowledge level of ChatGPT is similar to a college student. That’s why it surprised the world. But one big problem with ChatGPT is that it makes mistakes or even gives wrong information. These are things that need to be done with. 29．Did ChatGPT pass the exam in a law school recently? 30．If you type in some key words and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story, what will happen? 31．What makes ChatGPT an excellent robot? 32．Will you use ChatGPT to help with your writing? Why? 【答案】29．Yes, it did. 30．Just one second later, you’ll get the story. 31．Because ChatGPT uses a very big database for training and it also learns things by itself. 32．Yes, I will. Because we can use it to identify problems and improve it. 【导语】本文主要介绍了人工智能聊天机器人ChatGPT的优点及缺点。 29．根据“A new AI chatbot called ChatGPT recently passed the exam in a law school.”可知ChatGPT最近通过了法学院的考试。故填Yes, it did. 30．根据“If you type (打字) in ‘A cat wants to go to space’ and ask ChatGPT to write a bedtime story.”和“Just one second later, you’ll get the story...”可知如果你输入一些关键词让ChatGPT写一个睡前故事，一秒钟后你会得到一个故事。故填Just one second later, you’ll get the story. 31．根据“Compared with Siri or other chatbots, ChatGPT uses a much bigger database (数据库) for training. It also learns things by itself.”可知ChatGPT使用一个更大的数据库进行训练，它也可以自己学习成为一个优秀的机器。故填Because ChatGPT uses a very big database for training and it also learns things by itself. 32．本题为开放性试题，答案言之有理即可。故填Yes, I will.

A Chinese sports brand Hongxing Erke won people’s hearts through its sincere act. Although its products didn’t sell very well, it still quietly gave away 50 million yuan. Later, this act was known by the public, which deeply moved people across the country, making people feel the brand’s strong sense of social responsibility. Millions of people rushed to buy its products to show their support. The brand became popular overnight. What makes Hongxing Erke successfully build its brand? It’s emotional branding (情感品牌) that helps it. What is Emotional Branding? Emotional branding means building a brand by connecting it with people’s feelings. It helps customers not only remember a product but also develop a strong connection with it. Successful emotional branding makes people feel happy and touched to stay with the brand for a long time. However, not every brand can successfully use emotional branding. Here are two examples. Arc’teryx, an outdoor brand, held a fireworks show in the Himalayas recently, which sparked controversy (争议) because many people believed fireworks did harm to nature. At first, the brand remained silent and did nothing to deal with the problem, which made the public very angry. Then, the brand had to explain they used safe materials which were environmentally-friendly but this was far from the truth. When the investigation (调查) was held, Arc’teryx finally said sorry. However, it was too late. The brand lost both its good reputation and customers. Another example is Xibei, a famous restaurant brand. When facing customers’ doubt about selling pre-cooked food, the boss quickly fought back, “100% no pre-cooked food!”. However, reporters found frozen pre-cooked food in the kitchens, proving (证明) that the boss was lying. Also, the brand even made up “touching stories”, hoping to divert (转移) people’s attention about pre-cooked food. But this had nothing to do with solving the real problem. Instead, this made things worse. Few people went to Xibei Restaurant and it suffered a great loss. 53．Does successful emotional branding make people feel happy and touched? 54．What did people do after knowing Hongxing Erke gave away 50 million yuan to the Henan flood? 55．What mistakes did Arc’teryx and Xibei make in common as failed examples of emotional branding? 56．If you are the boss of Arc’teryx or Xibei, can you say something to compensate (补偿) for the mistake? Share your words. (about 30 words) Dear customers, 【答案】53．Yes, it does. 54．Millions of people rushed to buy its products to show their support. 55．They lied and tried to cover up the problems instead of solving them sincerely. 56．Dear customers, I sincerely apologize for our mistake. We will correct it immediately and promise to be honest and responsible from now on. (答案合理即可) 【导语】本文以鸿星尔克的情感品牌成功案例为引，介绍了情感品牌的概念，并通过始祖鸟和西贝的失败案例，阐述了情感品牌运用的成败差异。 53．根据“Successful emotional branding makes people feel happy and touched to stay with the brand for a long time.”可知，成功的情感品牌会让人们感到快乐和感动。故填Yes, it does. 54．根据“Millions of people rushed to buy its products to show their support.”可知，人们纷纷购买鸿星尔克的产品以表示支持。故填Millions of people rushed to buy its products to show their support. 55．结合始祖鸟“起初沉默回避、撒谎掩饰”和西贝“撒谎并编造故事转移注意力”的行为可知，它们的共同错误是撒谎掩盖问题，未真诚解决问题。故填They lied and tried to cover up the problems instead of solving them sincerely. 56．开放性试题，答案合理即可。参考答案:Dear customers, I sincerely apologize for our mistake. We will correct it immediately and promise to be honest and responsible from now on. Passage 3 (25-26九上·重庆巴蜀中学教育集团·期中) The Hidden War for Your Attention On social media, you often see the same kinds of videos and opinions. When this happens, you are being designed. There is a hidden war for your attention. Behind these apps, thousands of engineers and psychologists work together. They study when you feel happy or bored. They test what makes you watch “just one more” video. This is the work of algorithms (算法) —computer programs that follow rules to solve problems. Every time you click, “like,” or watch a video, you leave a digital footprint. The algorithm uses this information to show you more content that you will probably enjoy. For example, if you watch a cooking video, the system will show you more food videos. If you stop watching quickly, it will try something more exciting. You aren’t really choosing content—the content is choosing you. Remember this important truth: if you don’t pay for the product, you are the product. Your time and attention are sold to advertisers. The more you watch, the more money the platform makes. Your addiction (上瘾) means their success. This system is now everywhere in social media, shopping apps, and even learning tools. They all use the same methods to keep you clicking and watching. The real “hackers” (黑客) are not hacking your computer but are hacking your brain. They use your love for new things and your fear of missing out to keep you watching. You are fighting against a super-brain made of technology and psychology. How can we protect ourselves? 1. Set time limits-maybe 30 minutes per day. 2. Turn off autoplay—don’t let the app decide what’s next. 3. Take regular breaks—have one phone-free day each week. 4. Be careful with emotional content—exciting or worrying videos are often traps. Remember, you are not just a user—you are in a war for your attention. But you have a choice. You can be a trained user, or you can be an awake user. What will you choose? 57．Do algorithms on social media work to make you watch more videos? 58．According to the text, what two things do the “real hackers” use to keep you watching? 59．What does this sentence “If you don’t pay for the product, you are the product.” really mean? 60．Answer this question “What will you choose?” and explain your opinions. 【答案】57．Yes, they do. 58．Your love for new things and your fear of missing out. 59．It means our time and attention are sold to advertisers. 60．I will choose to be an awake user because I want to control my own time and thoughts. 【导语】本文揭示了社交媒体算法如何通过分析用户行为来争夺注意力，并呼吁人们成为清醒的用户，掌控自己的时间和思想。 57．根据“They test what makes you watch ‘just one more’ video.”可知，算法致力于让用户观看更多视频，此处要进行肯定回答。故填Yes, they do. 58．根据“They use your love for new things and your fear of missing out to keep you watching.”可知，“真实黑客”利用人们对新鲜事物的热爱和错失恐惧心理。故填Your love for new things and your fear of missing out. 59．根据“Your time and attention are sold to advertisers.”可知，当用户免费使用产品时，其注意力和时间成为被出售的商品。故填It means our time and attention are sold to advertisers. 60．本题为开放性作答。需在“被训练的用户”和“清醒的用户”间做出选择并说明理由，示例选择清醒用户以强调自我掌控的重要性。故填I will choose to be an awake user because I want to control my own time and thoughts. 主题02 人与自我 Passage 1 (25-26九上·重庆四川外国语学校·期中) Anyone can shine in his field if he keeps creating beauty with his hands. “Failed.” Seeing the result of the test, Wang Wenwang felt his dream of becoming a wood restorer (木作修复师) lay in pieces.

To make his dream come true, he wrote the plans himself many times and asked experts for advice. He spent a lot of time collecting wooden cultural relics (文物). It cost him much money. But none of these stopped him. Thanks to people like Wang, traditional Chinese handicrafts are being passed down in a way that we can’t see.

However, it was difficult for him to keep up with his teacher in the beginning. It took him nearly three years to perfect the Lion’s Head pastry shape. For the filling, he tested more than 100 different recipes before finding the best one. Repeating these movements every day made his fingers hurt so much. During that time, he kept telling himself, “I truly enjoy doing this. I believe my efforts today will show results someday. ” Now, he is good at making these traditional pastries.
