So, what do students of your age eat for lunch at school? Japan High schools have dining rooms, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish and vegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month with notes on nutrition value (营养价值). The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize. United States A menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with potatoes or chicken, fruit and cookies. School lunch must also provide at least one-third of the daily vitamin A, vitamin C, iron (铁), calcium (钙) and calories (卡路里). Australia Hot dogs are traditional dishes in Australian school lunch menus. But as the country pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system (系统). The sale of red-labelled foods, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are provided every day. South Africa Most of South Africa’s schools do not provide meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches. Fast food sells the best among students. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge (粥) with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes. Schools serve different foods in different 1 .

Have you ever stood in the middle of an untidy house, looking at the books and magazines around? You have the thought of tidying them up, but you give up before you start. Well, you are not alone. But luckily, I have found some nice ways to make myself willing to do the housework. Have less stuff (物品) Reducing (减少) the number of the things is a good way to make house cleaning easier. Every few months, I throw away some things we don’t need or use. It could be old clothes that no longer fit or books that I have already read and won’t pick up again. Fewer things make the house tidier and easier to clean. Do a bit each day Cleaning the whole house without a break can be really difficult, so I do a little each day. Monday could be the day to sweep the floors, Tuesday to make the bed, Wednesday to clean the bathroom, and so on. When the weekend comes, I can have fun watching a film or reading a good book instead of spending hours cleaning. Start with the easiest task When there’s a long list of housework, it can be hard to know where to begin. If so, I will start with the easiest task. When I complete the easiest task successfully, it will give me a sense of achievement. In this way, I will be more willing to go on with the rest of the housework. Make housework interesting Who says housework has to be boring? I’ve found that adding a little fun can make a big difference. I love listening to music and cleaning at the same time. As the music plays, I find myself dancing around. Time flies by and before I know it, the house is clean. I feel excited at the same time. It’s a win-win situation. In short, housework doesn’t have to be something you hate. By using these ways, you can make it easier, or more enjoyable. You might even surprisingly find that you don’t mind cleaning at all. Making yourself willing to do the housework Introduction Cleaning seems like an endless job and you are not the 1 one who wants to give it up. 2 to make yourself willing to do the housework Having less stuff Having fewer things at home means 3 to clean.Every several months, I throw away something 4 or unnecessary. Doing a bit each day I do a little each day because it’s not easy to clean the whole house without a break.You don’t have to do the housework at weekends. Instead, you can do something relaxing, 5 watching films or reading books. Starting with the easiest task It’s hard to know where to begin when there’s too much housework.You can encourage yourself to continue with the harder tasks 6 first getting a sense of achievement from an easy one. Making housework fun Adding something fun such as listening to music 7 cleaning can make a big difference.You will get a nice living environment and a good mood. Conclusions You may 8 housework if you follow the tips.You may be surprised to find that you don’t dislike cleaning any more. Your ideas Besides the ways mentioned, can you think of another creative way to encourage yourself to do housework? Explain how it works. (at least 20 words) 9 二、短文填空 Several days ago, some students from the US visited our school. When we talked, I found some d 1 in school life between the US and China. For example, each class lasts fifty minutes in the US. It is a little l 2 than that in China. We usually have forty or forty-five minutes in each class. A 3 difference is that in China they have shorter break time between classes. Besides, although most schools in o 4 countries finish their morning classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break. S 5 they eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 p.m. and school is over at 3:00 p.m. Then they take part in club activities or play sports. Many Chinese students don’t w 6 during their school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in their free time. They do not have a dream job in m 7 . They think there is no difference b 8 jobs. Working is a useful e 9 and they can make money at the same time. Some of them e 10 take one-year-full-time jobs after they leave high school and then go to college. In my opinion, it’s good for their growth. Everyone knows how hot summer is in Nanjing. A warm little story recently won lots of praise online. Some street cleaners in Nanjing received cooling vests with small fans. With temperatures over 40℃, they no longer have to f 1 against extreme heat by themselves. At first sight, the cooling vest looks s 2 to common working vests. It has bright yellow cloth and reflective strips to keep workers s 3 . But if you look closely, you will find one quiet small fan on each side of the vest. When the fans work, they pull outside air into the vest. The air flows upward and speeds up the evaporation of sweat. In this way, workers feel m 4 cooler. The fans get power from a portable power bank inside the vest’s pocket. A full charge can work for three to four hours. Workers can recharge it during lunch and keep using it in the afternoon. More than 20 such vests were handed out in Xuanwu District before the hot season. Street cleaners working on sunny roads like Jiming Temple Road were the f 5 to try them out. Workers who wore the vests shared: “I finally don’t need to wear sticky clothes covered with salt marks.” The story drew public attention for a simple reason. T 6 it is a small improvement, it solves a big problem. Street cleaners work outdoors in strong sunlight and face high risks of heatstroke. In the past, governments o 7 water and medicine. However, cooling vests directly deal with workers’ uncomfortable body feelings. Care changes from short-time comfort to all-day protection. Nearly all people online spoke highly of this idea. Many hoped the vests could be used across the country. Some said technology should serve common workers. One sentence spread quickly: How a city treats its workers shows its level of civilization. Still, the vests have practical p 8 to solve. Will the power last long enough? Who will repair them? Can cities afford the cost? People need to find answers. Even so, it is surely w 9 praising for taking this first step. The warmth of a city lies in the kindness shown to every common person. A small vest c 10 great respect for workers. We hope this cool wind can reach more cities and more outdoor workers. 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 This year’s Michael Rosen Day is on 13 November. The aim of the day is to make reading and writing poetry fun and accessible (可接近的) for all. This year’s topic is FUNNY FOOD．Try these m 1 for writing your own funny and satisfying food poem. If you’re not sure how to start your poem, Michael Rosen advises looking at others’. He says, “Ask y 2 why you like it and if you can have a go at doing something like that.” If your favourite poem uses rhyming words, you could try that. Does the poem tell a story or e 3 a special feeling? Try using the same style but your own words. If you can’t find ideas in front of you, search your m 4 . Rosen says, “Daydream for a minute. Maybe you can think of something funny in the past.” A 5 way is to pick a moment that troubled you—perhaps a seagull stole your favourite chips or an a 6 spray (喷溅) of ketchup (番茄酱) ruined your new white shirt. “Write about it as if you are a sports commentator and it’s happening right now.” Rosen says you can use any or all of the five s 7 to write poetry. For a seeing poem, he says, “Pick a place you want to write about and write about the things you can see.” A hearing poem could be about the sound of your mum eating cereal. Or try a smelling poem about the aroma of school dinners, a t 8 poem describing eating a sour sweet, or a touching poem about slippery noodles. Trying this way can make your writing feel alive s 9 good poems come from real feelings. Pick one small food moment, f 10 on it closely, and turn it into your own funny poem. Your poem is ready to be created. After not swimming in big races for over four years, China’s Olympic champion (冠军) Sun Yang is back! Even though he is a 1 over 30 years old this year, he is still one of the best swimmers in China. On Aug 25, Sun won the men’s 400m freestyle race at the National Summer Swimming Championships in Hefei, Anhui. He f 2 the race in 3 minutes and 49.58 seconds. This wasn’t his f 3 time ever, but it was still a big win because he worked very hard over the past four years. Born in 1991, Sun became famous after winning China’s first Olympic gold medal in men’s swimming at the London 2012. He also won more gold medals at the Rio 2016. However, in 2020, Sun was given an eight-year ban (禁赛) because he f 4 to pass a doping test (药检), but it was later shortened to four years and three months. This s 5 him from swimming in the Tokyo and Paris Olympics. D 6 the ban, Sun trained on his own, without the s 7 of a professional team. He worked so hard that he didn’t have a single (单一的) day o 8 from training. “The past four years were so hard, tougher than being born again, which e 9 made me enjoy each and every race even more.” said Sun after his win, “S 10 on top of the podium (领奖台) once again really makes me feel like that everything paid off.” 根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 No matter young or old, all children love to play different i 1 games.

Are you having a hard time 1 all of them? Well, perhaps you can try out the Method of Loci. “Loci” means “locations” in Latin. When you use this method, you 2 a place in your mind, like your house or school. You then put words or numbers in different places inside it. As you walk through this place in your mind, you can recall all the 3 you put there. Why does it work? Because people are better at remembering 4 than words or lists. You can try remembering π (3.141592653) using the Method of Loci. The first 5 is to imagine a home. The house number is 314. On the doorstep, there is one box. You pick it up and find that it has come from your 59-year-old uncle. Now, you open the door. There, you see 6 welcome mats (门垫). Six pairs of shoes have been placed on them. On the wall, there are five pegs (挂钩) with three coats hanging off them. What about a long 7 ? You can imagine where each thing goes inside your fridge. When you go shopping, just “look” inside your “ 8 ” and take what you need. World record holders in memory competitions often say that anyone can 9 and use the Method of Loci and become a “memory master”. Are you 10 to try this method? Find out whether it can help you remember all the new words in your textbook! 1．A．pronouncing B．remembering C．translating D．understanding 2．A．believe B．create C．fight D．invent 3．A．events B．information C．news D．tools 4．A．details B．facts C．names D．places 5．A．case B．mistake C．rule D．step 6．A．two B．three C．four D．five 7．A．email address B．phone number C．shopping list D．word list 8．A．car B．hand C．mind D．kitchen 9．A．learn B．suggest C．finish D．decide 10．A．able B．afraid C．ready D．used Some students often complain about learning English.

They have to read many passages, look up new words in the dictionary, and do lots of exercises. 2 they work hard, they still cannot get good scores on tests. “Why?” they ask. “How can I enjoy success?” The story of Chinese astronaut Deng Qingming might help answer their questions. Deng was chosen as an astronaut trainee in 1998. That was long ago. He felt so lucky and proud. As springs came and went, he has 3 almost all of his time training hard to become an astronaut. Over the 4 , Deng has seen his fellow trainees go into space one after another. He, however, was always a backup (后备). He often felt sad. Sometimes, he even cried. But Deng never gave up. Although he is now in his fifties, he 5 training hard. “I must be ready whenever the 6 comes to me,” he once said. 7 , on the night of 29 November 2022, together with two other astronauts, he boarded the Shenzhou XV spacecraft and flew into space. Deng had 8 for 24 years for this very moment. So, if you want to give up learning English (or something else), think about Deng’s story. Your efforts might not pay off immediately.

He gave a low and sad howl (嚎叫) outside. In fact, Scott was sad too. He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog. Five or six times he changed his mind. But in the end he decided firmly not to take him. He told himself, “He would hate living in a city, anyway.” Then White Fang saw his love-master packing his things into a bag. His god was going away again, and, like last time, he wasn’t taking White Fang with him. That night he howled long, pointing his nose to the stars and telling them of his sadness. The next day Scott called White Fang into the room. “You poor thing,” he said, rubbing his ears. “I’m starting the long trail, where you cannot follow. Now give me a last goodbye howl.” But White Fang didn’t howl. He put his head between his master’s arm and body. Then, at that moment from the Yukon River, the boat’s whistle sounded. “You need to go now,” said Matt. The two men locked the doors and went outside. From inside they could hear White Fang howling more and more loudly. He was howling like dogs do when their master is dead. Down by the river, everything was busy. The two men stood shaking hands, but Matt’s hand suddenly dropped as he saw White Fang sitting on the deck a few meters away. Scott saw him as well. When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes. The boat’s whistle sounded again. Scott bent down to White Fang, “Howl for me now, you brave guy!” White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time. —Adapted from White Fang 1．How does the writer show Scott had difficulty leaving White Fang in Paragraph 2? A．By describing some actions. B．By describing the thoughts. C．By describing some conversations. D．By describing the environment. 2．The writer uses the word “howl” several times in the article to show ________. A．the real sound from White Fang B．the changes in White Fang’s feelings C．the friendship between White Fang and Matt D．the happiness about leaving White Fang’s master 3．Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? ①Scott locked the doors and went outside to the boat. ②Scott bent down to White Fang and asked him to howl. ③Scott decided firmly not to take White Fang to California. ④Scott saw White Fang sitting on the deck a few meters away. ⑤Scott called White Fang into the room and said goodbye to him. A．③⑤①④② B．⑤②③①④ C．⑤③②①④ D．③⑤④①② 4．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph tells us ________. A．Scott hit White Fang on his nose B．Scott warned White Fang to leave him C．White Fang got hurt in order to see Scott again D．White Fang was hurt so badly that Matt took him home Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? This isn’t just an expression. A study from the University of California has found that you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared unrelated friends’ genes and unrelated strangers’ genes. They found that friends have about 1% of genes that match. This is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution (进化) that brings you together. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who were more easily affected by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire to stay alive. Researchers also found that smell-related genes were most similar in friends. This is probably because people with similar senses of smell are more easily attracted to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may visit cafés more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With these findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help show the chances of two people being friends. So, here is a question for you: Would you like to take this test and know early who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 1．What can we know about our friends from the first two paragraphs? A．They live close to our family. B．They look like our fourth cousins. C．They never make friends with strangers. D．They share about 1% of genes with us. 2．Why do people with similar smell-related genes become friends more easily? A．They avoid the crowded areas. B．They have better sense of smell. C．They prefer different environments. D．They are attracted to similar places. 3．What is the “friendship score”? A．A method to teach how to make friends. B．A tool to tell if two people can be friends. C．A survey to know about friends’ hobbies. D．A game to check how close the friends are. On August 7, 2025, OpenAI introduced GPT-5, a major update for ChatGPT that brings faster responses (反应), more accurate (准确的) answers, and better problem-solving skills than older versions. This advancement has made the competition in the AI field even stronger, but it has also sparked discussions about how AI might affect people's mental well-being and job opportunities in the future. Available to all ChatGPT users at no cost, GPT-5 shows improvements in writing, programming, and answering health questions. Most importantly, it makes 45% fewer factual mistakes than GPT-4 and clearly tells users when it doesn’t know something, instead of making up answers. OpenAI’s leader Sam Altman praised GPT-5 as a big step toward AI that thinks like humans. He explained, “While GPT-4 was like talking to a college student, GPT-5 feels like getting advice from a top expert in many fields.” With 700 million people using it every week, OpenAI stays ahead despite new competitors. One exciting new feature is “prompt-based programming,” which lets users create working software just by giving simple instructions. During a test, GPT-5 built a website with fun games to help people learn French in only a few minutes, proving how useful it could be for programmers. However, concerns (担忧) remain about jobs being replaced by AI. Some tech leaders say AI now handles (处理) more than 40% of basic coding work. Others worry about people relying (依赖) too much on AI, sharing a story where a man’s constant use of AI hurt his family relationships. As GPT-5 becomes more common in schools and offices, it shows both the amazing possibilities and the social challenges that come with advanced AI technology. 1．What is one key improvement of GPT-5? A．It can speak 10 new languages. B．It has 45% fewer factual errors. C．It is free for only premium users. D．It runs on solar power. 2．Which of the following statements is not right? A．Sam Altman thinks GPT-5 is as good as a top expert. B．When GPT-5 doesn’t know something, it won't create an answer. C．The competition in the AI field becomes stronger because of GPT-5. D．Prompt-based programming will make traditional programmers unnecessary. 3．This passage can be divided into several parts. Which one is the most reasonable (合理的)? A．①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②/③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③/④⑤/⑥ 4．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To advertise GPT-5 as the best AI ever. B．To warn against using AI at all. C．To report GPT-5’s upgrades and effects on society. D．To compare GPT-5 with other companies’ products. One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear. But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved. He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟) nest. In the nest, there were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learned another important lesson. Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle. He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things. Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him. 1．What animal is the gray cub? A．A wolf. B．A weasel. C．A squirrel.

Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960—1279) , tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha”. Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked (搅打) with water into soft “clouds”. White tea was often used to make the “clouds” as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, a historical trade (贸易) route. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er tuocha has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity (永恒) . Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west. Each cup of Pu’er, with the smell of sunshine, turns tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. 1．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the passage? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 2．When did Fred Kempler begin to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe? A．In 1986. B．In 1976. C．In 1279. D．In 960. 3．Which sentence uses “globally” with the same meaning as the underlined word? globally /’gləʊbəli/ adv. ①全球地   ②全面地   ③总体而言，整体地 A．Globally, our class did well in the English test. B．The Olympic Games bring people together globally. C．The story is globally interesting though some parts are slow. D．This math question needs you to consider the numbers globally. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Art in a Tea Cup B．Tea Trade in China C．More Than a Drink D．Journey of Yunnan Tea Recently, a sad news story about “blood cats” has made many people in China worried and think deeply. Some stray cats were caught and forced to give large amounts of their blood. This blood was then sold to pet hospitals for blood transfusions (输血). People call these poor cats “blood cats”. This is not the right way to treat animals. Cats, like all living creatures, should be treated with kindness. A cat can only safely give a small amount of blood once in a while. But these “blood cats” had far too much blood taken, which is very dangerous and cruel. This problem shows us a bigger issue: we need to learn how to live in peace with all animals on Earth, both pets and wild animals. Our Wild Friends Need Help Too Many wild animals, like pandas, tigers, and elephants, are also in danger. They face serious problems. Their homes are destroyed when forests are cut down. They sometimes can’t find enough food or clean water. Also, some people hunt them for their fur or other body parts. What Can We Do? It is important to remember that animals are our friends. To protect them is to protect ourselves. Here are some things we can do: ·Protect the environment. We can help by keeping their habitats clean and safe. ·Support nature reserves. Governments and groups can build more nature reserves where animals can live safely. ·Stop hunting. There should be laws to stop people from killing endangered animals. ·Be kind to all animals. We should treat pets and stray animals with care and report any bad behavior towards them. If everyone makes a little contribution, it will make a big difference. Let’s learn to live in peace with all animals. 1．According to the passage, what are “blood cats”? A．Cats that like the smell of blood. B．Cats that are sick and need blood transfusions. C．Stray cats forced to give too much blood for sale. D．Cats that live in pet hospitals. 2．What is one reason why wild animals are in danger? A．They don’t have enough friends. B．They are always hungry. C．Their habitats are being destroyed. D．They are forced to give blood. 3．What does the passage suggest we should do to protect animals? A．Take all wild animals to zoos. B．Build more nature reserves and stop hunting. C．Only take care of pet animals. D．Sell stray cats to pet hospitals. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell an interesting story about a pet cat. B．To explain how to take care of a pet. C．To discuss animal cruelty and the importance of protecting animals. D．To describe the different kinds of wild animals in the world. Reshi completed a 12-page children’s book, Alice and Sparkle, with the help of a chatbot called ChatGPT. A chatbot is a computer program that uses AI to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which translates words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it was really popular with the children. And some people praised him for his intelligence. However, not everyone was pleased. Some artists were critical (批判性的). They pointed out the poor quality of the artwork. The more serious problem, they said, was the way the art was made. Midjourney searches through millions of images across the Internet. It uses algorithms (算法) to find patterns in those images and create new ones. Think of the artists who upload their works online. Midjourney uses their works without their permission (允许). Some companies have already chosen AI over human talent. At a comedy club, an AI-powered robot told jokes, instead of human beings. And the San Francisco Ballet used images generated by Midjourney to make its ballet show The Nutcracker more popular by advertising. Many artists and writers are nervous about their future. Will people pay them for their work if it can be done more cheaply by using AI? “As a person who makes money and finds joy in the writing, I’m troubled to see people look for cheap alternatives (替代品) rather than actual human writing,” journalist Josephine says. There should be protections for artists and authors whose work might be used in AI algorithms. There’s real concern (担忧). The tech industry that’s working on these tools should involve artists in the process of creation. 1．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A．newspaper B．science fiction C．storybook D．travel guide 2．The way in which the book was made is in the order of ________. ①Artists uploaded their work on the Internet. ②Midjourney created new images without artists’ permission. ③The AI program used algorithms to find the patterns. ④Midjourney searched through a great number of images online. A．①③④② B．④①③② C．③④①② D．①④③② 3．In Paragraph 4, the writer shows the popularity of using AI by ________. A．listing numbers B．giving examples C．making comparisons D．showing opinions 4．Which of the following best shows the main concern of the passage? A．AI is developing too quickly for people to understand. B．AI may reduce the value of human creative work. C．AI is making children’s books more interesting. D．AI is helping artists earn more money. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Reshi’s event? A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Critical. D．Uninterested. There once was a little weed in a field. All around it stood tall and beautiful flowers. The children liked to play in the field all year round. One fine day, three sisters came to play. They were laughing and chatting with each other. “Let’s pick some flowers for Grandma!” said one. “That’s a good idea!” said another. “She will love these beautiful flowers!” The children began picking flowers and soon, almost all the flowers in the field were in their hands. “What about that one?” the youngest child said, pointing at the weed. “Forget it!” said the oldest one. “That’s just a useless weed!” Hearing this, the weed felt upset. “Am I really useless?” It asked itself. “Why was I put on this Earth?” With all the nearby flowers gone, the little weed felt lonely. Even though it had felt envious of the tall flowers, it liked being around them. The autumn wind blew over the field, and the snows of winter came very soon. Just then, the weed noticed some birds flying high above the field. “We are hungry!” they cried. “Where can we find food to eat?” The weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them, “Hey! I have tasty seeds that you can eat!” “You are so kind!” the birds said as they enjoyed the seeds. “They are delicious and they will keep us full for a long time!” What they said made the little weed feel happy. It was glad to help its new friends. “At last, I have found out what I am good for!” the weed thought. “Next year, I will make twice as many seeds, so I can feed more hungry birds that need food!” The weed looked forward to telling the tall flowers all about its new friends when they grew back in spring. Now, it feels great to be a little weed! 1．What did the oldest child think of the weed in the field? A．It was completely useless to them. B．It was the perfect gift for their grandma. C．It was as beautiful as the flowers around. D．It would grow more seeds in autumn. 2．How did the weed’s feelings change according to the story? A．Sorry → sad → lonely → happy. B．Lonely → sorry → happy → sad. C．Sad → lonely → sorry → happy. D．Lonely → sad → happy → sorry. 3．What do the words “its new friends” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Flowers. B．Children. C．Seeds. D．Birds. 4．Which of the following stories has a meaning similar to the above story? A．Yu Gong Moves a Mountain B．Hou Yi Shoots the Suns C．The Emperor’s New Clothes D．The Ugly Duckling Primary and secondary schools across Chinese cities have increased the time of class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes since the beginning of the fall term in order to encourage outdoor activities among both students and teachers. This move is to make sure students can have at least 30 minutes of physical exercise a day. So it is praised by parents and students. Cities including Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao have taken similar steps. In Beijing, the increased break times have not affected students’ overall timetables. The time for morning arrival and afternoon dismissal (放学) remain unchanged in primary schools, while middle school dismissal has been delayed by five minutes, according to an official. The government also lifted (取消) early starts to classes and restrictions (限制) on break activities, stressing that the goal is to “return break time to the students.” Schools in the Wuqing district of Tianjin have adopted (采用) 15-minute breaks and offered one physical education class daily. Students are required to engage in physical exercise which adds up to 100 minutes, with the aim of improving outdoor activities and social interaction (社交互动). According to a local news report, a primary school in Qingdao introduced many different kinds of outdoor games during the 15-minute breaks, such as jump rope and hula hoop exercises. The school organizes students by floor to make sure that every child can take part in outdoor activities. A physical fitness examination in May showed that the percentage of Qingdao students achieving “excellent” or “good” fitness ratings (体能评级) increased by 10 percentage points to 47 percent. 1．What does “This move” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．Exercising since the beginning of the term. B．Encouraging outdoor activities. C．Increasing the time of class breaks. D．Cutting out breaks between two classes. 2．What does the underlined word “morning arrival” probably mean in Chinese? A．早操 B．晨会 C．晨读 D．早上到校 3．How many cities are mentioned in the passage? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5. 4．What’s the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, ...) A．①②/③④⑤ B．①/②③④⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ Scenic spots (景点) usually hold various fun activities to welcome tourists. These days, real-life NPC performances have become a big hit in China’s cultural tourism. NPC, or Non-Player Characters, first came from video games. It means the computer-controlled characters that talk and play with game players. These characters make players have more fun while playing games. Now, this idea has come to scenic spots. Professional actors dress up as historical people or local cultural characters, talking and playing with visitors in a natural and relaxing way. They are known as real-life tourism NPCs. Lots of real-life NPC performances have become very popular online. The famous show “Snow Cake Monkey” in Changchun is loved by tourists for its funny, down-to-earth acts. In Suqian, the actor, who plays the ancient hero Xiang Yu, shows the special charm (魅力) of that time. Also, the funny local matchmakers in Kaifeng and the graceful Tang Dynasty actors in Xi’an make visitors’ trips much more enjoyable. The popularity of these tourism NPCs shows that people’s travel needs have changed. Modern tourists are no longer satisfied with trips where they only take photos. Instead, they hope to have warm, personal connections with the place. These live shows can make tourists stay longer, help people spend more money in the local area, and make different scenic spots feel less the same. Besides bringing money and growth to tourism, real-life NPCs help spread traditional culture in a creative way. By mixing historical stories with new interactive(互动的) forms, they make traditional culture easier for young people to understand and enjoy. This new trend (趋势) shows China’s hard work to connect culture with tourism, and pass down our cultural treasures to more people. 1．What are real-life NPCs in tourism? A．Persons who love playing video games. B．Players who are controlled by computers. C．Actors who play cultural roles in scenic spots. D．Characters who perform in online video games. 2．What advantages do real-life NPC performances have? ①They make tourists feel closer to the place. ② They make different scenic spots the same. ③ They help people spend more money in the local area. ④They help spread traditional culture in creative ways. A．②③④ B．①②③ C．①②④ D．①③④ 3．What is the best title for the text? A．China’s tourism NPC: A fun story about short trips B．China’s tourism NPC: A creative designer of short trips C．China’s tourism NPC: A new attraction of cultural tourism D．China’s tourism NPC: A traditional form of cultural tourism 五、书面表达 1．假如你是李华，你在英国的笔友Andy给你发来电子邮件，想了解你近阶段的学习、生活情况。请认真阅读下面的邮件，根据信中的内容用英语回复。 To: Lihua@China.com From: Andy@Britain.com Dear Li Hua, I hear that your school has just celebrated its 30th birthday.

So, what do students of your age eat for lunch at school? Japan High schools have dining rooms, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not hamburgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish and vegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month with notes on nutrition value (营养价值). The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭) at the end of the month receives a prize. United States A menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with potatoes or chicken, fruit and cookies. School lunch must also provide at least one-third of the daily vitamin A, vitamin C, iron (铁), calcium (钙) and calories (卡路里). Australia Hot dogs are traditional dishes in Australian school lunch menus. But as the country pays more attention to children’s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus. Many schools have used a traffic light system (系统). The sale of red-labelled foods, including chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are provided every day. South Africa Most of South Africa’s schools do not provide meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches. Fast food sells the best among students. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different illnesses, some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are provided with lunches of porridge (粥) with vegetables, such as potatoes, carrots and tomatoes. Schools serve different foods in different 1 .

Have you ever stood in the middle of an untidy house, looking at the books and magazines around? You have the thought of tidying them up, but you give up before you start. Well, you are not alone. But luckily, I have found some nice ways to make myself willing to do the housework. Have less stuff (物品) Reducing (减少) the number of the things is a good way to make house cleaning easier. Every few months, I throw away some things we don’t need or use. It could be old clothes that no longer fit or books that I have already read and won’t pick up again. Fewer things make the house tidier and easier to clean. Do a bit each day Cleaning the whole house without a break can be really difficult, so I do a little each day. Monday could be the day to sweep the floors, Tuesday to make the bed, Wednesday to clean the bathroom, and so on. When the weekend comes, I can have fun watching a film or reading a good book instead of spending hours cleaning. Start with the easiest task When there’s a long list of housework, it can be hard to know where to begin. If so, I will start with the easiest task. When I complete the easiest task successfully, it will give me a sense of achievement. In this way, I will be more willing to go on with the rest of the housework. Make housework interesting Who says housework has to be boring? I’ve found that adding a little fun can make a big difference. I love listening to music and cleaning at the same time.

When we talked, I found some d 1 in school life between the US and China. For example, each class lasts fifty minutes in the US. It is a little l 2 than that in China. We usually have forty or forty-five minutes in each class. A 3 difference is that in China they have shorter break time between classes. Besides, although most schools in o 4 countries finish their morning classes at 12 o’clock, the students in the US only have an hour-long break. S 5 they eat lunch quickly. Their afternoon classes begin at 1:00 p.m. and school is over at 3:00 p.m. Then they take part in club activities or play sports. Many Chinese students don’t w 6 during their school years, while the US students like to find a part-time job in their free time. They do not have a dream job in m 7 . They think there is no difference b 8 jobs. Working is a useful e 9 and they can make money at the same time. Some of them e 10 take one-year-full-time jobs after they leave high school and then go to college. In my opinion, it’s good for their growth. 【答案】 1．differences/ifferences 2．longer/onger 3．Another/nother 4．other/ther 5．So/o 6．work/ork 7．mind/ind 8．between/etween 9．experience/xperience 10．even/ven 【导语】本文主要通过对比美国和中国在学校作息时间及学生兼职态度方面的差异，介绍了两国学生不同的校园生活。 1．句意：当我们交谈时，我发现中美校园生活存在一些差异。后文列举课堂时长、休息时间等不同点表明此处指两国校园生活的不同之处，首字母d对应difference“差异”，可数名词，some后接可数名词复数。 2．句意：在美国每节课持续50分钟，比中国的课时稍微长一点。后文“We usually have forty or forty-five minutes in each class”说明美国课时更长，句中有than表比较，结合首字母l，long的比较级longer表示“更长的”。 3．句意：另一个不同点是在中国，他们的课间休息时间更短。前文已经介绍了课时长短的差异，此处继续介绍又一处不同，结合首字母A，another表示“另一，再一”，位于句首首字母大写。 4．句意：此外，虽然大多数其他国家的学校中午12点结束上午的课程。作者是中国学生，此处指除中国以外的“其他”国家，结合首字母o，other意为“其他的”。 5．句意：所以他们吃饭很快。前一句“the students in the US only have an hour-long break”是原因，本句是由此带来的结果，结合首字母S，so表示“所以”，位于句首首字母大写。 6．句意：很多中国学生在校求学期间不工作，然而美国学生喜欢在空闲时间找兼职。don’t后接动词原形，下文提到美国学生找兼职，此处指中国学生不“工作”，结合首字母w，work意为“工作”。 7．句意：他们心中没有理想的工作。前文提到美国学生喜欢在课余找兼职，本句承接上文，说明他们并没有预先想好、藏在心里的理想职业。in mind意为“在心中”，固定短语，首字母m对应mind。 8．句意：他们认为工作之间没有差别。承接上一句，进一步解释美国学生的择业观念：不存在哪个工作更好，各类工作之间没有高下之分。there is no difference between表示“在……之间没有差别”，between jobs表示“在不同的工作之间”，首字母b对应between。 9．句意：工作是一次有用的经历，同时他们还能赚钱。工作是一种人生经历，首字母e对应experience，表示“经历”，a useful后接单数名词。 10．句意：他们中的一些人甚至在高中毕业后从事一年的全职工作。此处表示递进强调，首字母e对应even，意为“甚至”，修饰动词take。 Everyone knows how hot summer is in Nanjing. A warm little story recently won lots of praise online. Some street cleaners in Nanjing received cooling vests with small fans. With temperatures over 40℃, they no longer have to f 1 against extreme heat by themselves. At first sight, the cooling vest looks s 2 to common working vests. It has bright yellow cloth and reflective strips to keep workers s 3 . But if you look closely, you will find one quiet small fan on each side of the vest. When the fans work, they pull outside air into the vest. The air flows upward and speeds up the evaporation of sweat. In this way, workers feel m 4 cooler. The fans get power from a portable power bank inside the vest’s pocket. A full charge can work for three to four hours. Workers can recharge it during lunch and keep using it in the afternoon. More than 20 such vests were handed out in Xuanwu District before the hot season. Street cleaners working on sunny roads like Jiming Temple Road were the f 5 to try them out. Workers who wore the vests shared: “I finally don’t need to wear sticky clothes covered with salt marks.” The story drew public attention for a simple reason. T 6 it is a small improvement, it solves a big problem. Street cleaners work outdoors in strong sunlight and face high risks of heatstroke. In the past, governments o 7 water and medicine. However, cooling vests directly deal with workers’ uncomfortable body feelings. Care changes from short-time comfort to all-day protection. Nearly all people online spoke highly of this idea. Many hoped the vests could be used across the country. Some said technology should serve common workers. One sentence spread quickly: How a city treats its workers shows its level of civilization. Still, the vests have practical p 8 to solve. Will the power last long enough? Who will repair them? Can cities afford the cost? People need to find answers. Even so, it is surely w 9 praising for taking this first step. The warmth of a city lies in the kindness shown to every common person. A small vest c 10 great respect for workers. We hope this cool wind can reach more cities and more outdoor workers. 【答案】 1．fight/ight 2．similar/imilar 3．safe/afe 4．much/uch 5．first/irst 6．Though/hough 7．offered/ffered 8．problems/roblems 9．worth/orth 10．carries/arries 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了南京为环卫工人发放带风扇的降温背心，这一举措体现了城市对普通劳动者的关怀与尊重。 1．句意：在超过40℃的气温下，他们不再需要独自对抗极端高温。根据“against extreme heat by themselves”和首字母可知，该处为“fight against对抗”，分析句子结构，have to接动词原形fight。 2．句意：乍一看，降温背心看起来与普通的工作背心相似。该处指的是“降温背心看起来与普通的工作背心相似”，look为系动词，后接形容词作表语，similar意为“相似的”，符合题意。 3．句意：它有明亮的黄色布料和反光条，以保持工人安全。分析句子结构，“keep sb+形容词”表示“使某人保持……状态”，反光条的作用是为了安全，根据首字母提示，safe意为“安全的”，符合语境，在句中作宾语补足语。 4．句意：通过这种方式，工人们感觉凉快多了。分析句子结构，此处修饰比较级cooler，结合首字母提示，much符合题意。 5．句意：在阳光明媚的街道上，如鸡鸣寺路，环卫工人是第一批尝试使用它们的人。分析句子结构，“the+序数词+to do”表示“第几个做……”，结合首字母提示，first“第一”符合题意。 6．句意：虽然这是一个小小的改进，但它解决了一个大问题。分析句子结构，前后句存在让步关系，Though意为“虽然”，引导让步状语从句，符合首字母提示及语境。在句首首字母大写 7．句意：过去，政府提供水和药品。分析句子结构，“In the past”表明时态为一般过去时，该处指的是“提供水和药品”，结合首字母提示，offer意为“提供”，符合题意，其过去式为offered。 8．句意：尽管如此，背心仍有实际的问题需要解决。分析句子结构，practical为形容词，后接名词，结合首字母可知，该处指的是“问题”，problem意为“问题”，符合题意，与 solve搭配，且根据上下文可知问题不止一个，用复数problems。 9．句意：即便如此，迈出这第一步肯定是值得赞扬的。该处指的是“值得赞扬的”，“be worth doing”为固定搭配，意为“值得做……”，worth符合首字母提示及语境。 10．句意：一件小背心承载了对工人的极大尊重。该处指的是“背心承载了对工人的极大尊重”，结合首字母可知，carry意为“承载”符合题意，分析句子结构，主语“A small vest”为第三人称单数，陈述客观事实用一般现在时，carry变第三人称单数形式carries。 请根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 This year’s Michael Rosen Day is on 13 November. The aim of the day is to make reading and writing poetry fun and accessible (可接近的) for all. This year’s topic is FUNNY FOOD．Try these m 1 for writing your own funny and satisfying food poem. If you’re not sure how to start your poem, Michael Rosen advises looking at others’. He says, “Ask y 2 why you like it and if you can have a go at doing something like that.” If your favourite poem uses rhyming words, you could try that. Does the poem tell a story or e 3 a special feeling? Try using the same style but your own words. If you can’t find ideas in front of you, search your m 4 . Rosen says, “Daydream for a minute. Maybe you can think of something funny in the past.” A 5 way is to pick a moment that troubled you—perhaps a seagull stole your favourite chips or an a 6 spray (喷溅) of ketchup (番茄酱) ruined your new white shirt. “Write about it as if you are a sports commentator and it’s happening right now.” Rosen says you can use any or all of the five s 7 to write poetry. For a seeing poem, he says, “Pick a place you want to write about and write about the things you can see.” A hearing poem could be about the sound of your mum eating cereal. Or try a smelling poem about the aroma of school dinners, a t 8 poem describing eating a sour sweet, or a touching poem about slippery noodles. Trying this way can make your writing feel alive s 9 good poems come from real feelings. Pick one small food moment, f 10 on it closely, and turn it into your own funny poem.

Are you having a hard time 1 all of them? Well, perhaps you can try out the Method of Loci. “Loci” means “locations” in Latin. When you use this method, you 2 a place in your mind, like your house or school. You then put words or numbers in different places inside it. As you walk through this place in your mind, you can recall all the 3 you put there. Why does it work? Because people are better at remembering 4 than words or lists. You can try remembering π (3.141592653) using the Method of Loci. The first 5 is to imagine a home. The house number is 314. On the doorstep, there is one box. You pick it up and find that it has come from your 59-year-old uncle. Now, you open the door. There, you see 6 welcome mats (门垫). Six pairs of shoes have been placed on them. On the wall, there are five pegs (挂钩) with three coats hanging off them. What about a long 7 ? You can imagine where each thing goes inside your fridge. When you go shopping, just “look” inside your “ 8 ” and take what you need. World record holders in memory competitions often say that anyone can 9 and use the Method of Loci and become a “memory master”. Are you 10 to try this method? Find out whether it can help you remember all the new words in your textbook! 1．A．pronouncing B．remembering C．translating D．understanding 2．A．believe B．create C．fight D．invent 3．A．events B．information C．news D．tools 4．A．details B．facts C．names D．places 5．A．case B．mistake C．rule D．step 6．A．two B．three C．four D．five 7．A．email address B．phone number C．shopping list D．word list 8．A．car B．hand C．mind D．kitchen 9．A．learn B．suggest C．finish D．decide 10．A．able B．afraid C．ready D．used 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．D 6．A 7．C 8．C 9．A 10．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种名为“位置记忆法”的记忆技巧。通过在脑海中想象熟悉的地点，并将需要记忆的信息放置其中，能帮助人们轻松记住单词、数字或购物清单等。 1．句意：你是否很难记住它们？ 根据后文介绍的“位置记忆法”可知，此处讨论的是记忆生词的困难，可知remembering表示“记住”符合语境。pronouncing发音，translating翻译，understanding理解，均不符合主题。 2．句意：当你使用这种方法时，你在脑海中创造一个地方，比如你的家或学校。 根据“a place in your mind”可知，是在脑海中构建或想象出一个地方，create表示“创造”符合语境。believe相信，fight抗争，invent发明（多指发明实物、机器，不搭配虚拟空间），均不匹配。 3．句意：当你在脑海中走过这个地方时，你可以回想起你放在那里的所有信息。 根据前文“put words or numbers”可知，单词或数字属于信息（information），可知information符合语境。其他选项不能准确概括单词和数字。 4．句意：因为人们更擅长记住地点而不是单词或列表。 根据前文“‘Loci’ means ‘locations’”以及在脑海中想象一个地方的做法，可知这种方法有效是因为人们对地点记忆更深刻。places表示“地点”符合句意。events事件，news新闻，tools工具符，与“位置记忆法”的核心原理无关。 5．句意：第一步是想象一个家。 根据后文详细描述的想象过程，可知这里是在介绍使用该记忆法的第一步，step表示“步骤”符合语境。case案例，mistake错误，rule规则，不符合介绍操作流程的语境。 6．句意：在那里，你看到两块迎宾地毯。 根据前文“remembering π（3.141592653）”以及已经出现的数字314、1、59，可知接下来的数字应该是two，对应两块地毯。three，four，five不符合圆周率的数字顺序。 7．句意：一份长长的购物清单怎么样？ 根据后文“When you go shopping”可知，此处举例的是去购物时需要记住的购物清单。shopping list表示“购物清单”符合句意。email address邮箱地址，phone number手机号，word list单词表，不匹配购物场景。 8．句意：当你去购物时，只需“看”一下你的“脑海”并拿走你需要的东西。 根据前文“in your mind”可知，这种记忆法是在脑海中进行的，所以购物时是回想脑海中的画面。mind表示“脑海”符合句意。car汽车，hand手，kitchen厨房，逻辑不连贯。 9．句意：记忆比赛的世界纪录保持者经常说，任何人都可以学习并使用位置记忆法，成为“记忆高手”。 根据语境，这种记忆方法是任何人都可以去学习和掌握的，learn表示“学习”符合语境。suggest建议，finish完成，decide决定，无法搭配方法。 10．句意：你准备好尝试这种方法了吗？ 根据后文“Find out whether it can help you...”可知，作者是在鼓励读者去尝试，固定搭配be ready to do sth.（准备好做某事）符合语境。ready表示“准备好的”符合用法。be able to do能够做（前面已有 can，重复冲突），afraid 害怕，used习惯，语义不符。 Some students often complain about learning English. The subject, they say, 1 too much of their time. They have to read many passages, look up new words in the dictionary, and do lots of exercises. 2 they work hard, they still cannot get good scores on tests. “Why?” they ask. “How can I enjoy success?” The story of Chinese astronaut Deng Qingming might help answer their questions. Deng was chosen as an astronaut trainee in 1998. That was long ago. He felt so lucky and proud. As springs came and went, he has 3 almost all of his time training hard to become an astronaut. Over the 4 , Deng has seen his fellow trainees go into space one after another. He, however, was always a backup (后备). He often felt sad. Sometimes, he even cried. But Deng never gave up. Although he is now in his fifties, he 5 training hard. “I must be ready whenever the 6 comes to me,” he once said. 7 , on the night of 29 November 2022, together with two other astronauts, he boarded the Shenzhou XV spacecraft and flew into space. Deng had 8 for 24 years for this very moment. So, if you want to give up learning English (or something else), think about Deng’s story. Your efforts might not pay off immediately.

Almost every student has his own way of learning, but a 1 with my deskmate gave me new ideas on how to study effectively. My deskmate was a typical procrastinator (拖延者) in the eyes of our teachers and she always finished her homework 2 than the other classmates. Sometimes that made our teachers 3 . However, what surprised me most was that she made progress step by step. Once, I asked her, “How can you do better and better? You do your homework so 4 .” She answered, “Doing my homework slowly doesn’t mean that I don’t study hard. 5 , I just go over what I have learned first, and then do the homework.” I suddenly 6 that she wasn’t a procrastinator. She just spent her time thinking and doing the review. When she was thinking and reviewing, she 7 the mistakes and then corrected them. When we learn a new thing, we 8 it well at first. Then we forget it slowly. A few days later, we may keep 9 in mind. We forget it completely! But reviewing helps us to learn new knowledge better. When we don’t have to prepare for exams, we should review the knowledge and learn 10 mistakes. When exams are coming, it’s always clever to start preparing early.

With the same goals in our minds-go to state and qualify for nationals-we practiced hard. And even after the practice, some students stayed around trying to work out the problems. Having a good time with my friends. Even though we were those “nerdy” kids who were simply good at math, we were just like all 7 middle school kids when it came to having fun. We took breaks together going to the school vending machine to buy a bag of chips and 8 around in the hallway. I remember the morning of the competition, we had a snowball fight (even though we weren’t supposed to), and a snowball knocked my glasses 9 my face.

He gave a low and sad howl (嚎叫) outside. In fact, Scott was sad too. He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog. Five or six times he changed his mind. But in the end he decided firmly not to take him. He told himself, “He would hate living in a city, anyway.” Then White Fang saw his love-master packing his things into a bag. His god was going away again, and, like last time, he wasn’t taking White Fang with him. That night he howled long, pointing his nose to the stars and telling them of his sadness. The next day Scott called White Fang into the room. “You poor thing,” he said, rubbing his ears. “I’m starting the long trail, where you cannot follow. Now give me a last goodbye howl.” But White Fang didn’t howl. He put his head between his master’s arm and body. Then, at that moment from the Yukon River, the boat’s whistle sounded. “You need to go now,” said Matt. The two men locked the doors and went outside. From inside they could hear White Fang howling more and more loudly. He was howling like dogs do when their master is dead. Down by the river, everything was busy. The two men stood shaking hands, but Matt’s hand suddenly dropped as he saw White Fang sitting on the deck a few meters away. Scott saw him as well. When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes. The boat’s whistle sounded again. Scott bent down to White Fang, “Howl for me now, you brave guy!” White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time. —Adapted from White Fang 1．How does the writer show Scott had difficulty leaving White Fang in Paragraph 2? A．By describing some actions. B．By describing the thoughts. C．By describing some conversations. D．By describing the environment. 2．The writer uses the word “howl” several times in the article to show ________. A．the real sound from White Fang B．the changes in White Fang’s feelings C．the friendship between White Fang and Matt D．the happiness about leaving White Fang’s master 3．Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage? ①Scott locked the doors and went outside to the boat. ②Scott bent down to White Fang and asked him to howl. ③Scott decided firmly not to take White Fang to California. ④Scott saw White Fang sitting on the deck a few meters away. ⑤Scott called White Fang into the room and said goodbye to him. A．③⑤①④② B．⑤②③①④ C．⑤③②①④ D．③⑤④①② 4．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph tells us ________. A．Scott hit White Fang on his nose B．Scott warned White Fang to leave him C．White Fang got hurt in order to see Scott again D．White Fang was hurt so badly that Matt took him home 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了Scott在离开White Fang时面临的艰难抉择，White Fang对Scott的深厚情感以及最终他们得以相伴的故事。文中通过描述Scott的心理活动、与White Fang的互动等情节，展现了人与动物之间真挚的情感。 1．细节理解题。根据“He was sad about the idea of leaving White Fang, but he knew the place like California wasn’t suitable for a dog...He told himself, ‘He would hate living in a city, anyway.’”可知，作者通过描述Scott的心理活动，即他内心的纠结和最终的决定，来展示Scott在离开White Fang时面临的困难。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据文章中多次出现的“howl”以及White Fang在不同情境下的嚎叫表现，如“He gave a low and sad howl (嚎叫) outside.”和“White Fang howled happily and knew he would stay with his god all the time.”等，可以推断出作者使用“howl”这个词是为了展示White Fang情感的变化。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，首先是Scott决定不带White Fang去加利福尼亚（③）；然后Scott叫White Fang进房间并告别（⑤）；接着Scott锁上门去船上（①）；之后Scott看到White Fang坐在甲板上（④）；最后Scott弯下腰对White Fang说让他嚎叫（②）。因此，正确的顺序是③⑤①④②。故选A。 4．词句猜测题。根据“When Scott patted the dog, he noticed blood on his nose and a fresh cut between his eyes.”可知，当Scott拍打狗时，他注意到狗鼻子上有血，两眼之间有新伤口。由此可推测，下划线句子表明White Fang为了再次见到Scott而受伤了。故选C。 Do you have good friends? Do you sometimes feel so close to them that they are like family to you? This isn’t just an expression. A study from the University of California has found that you and your friends have more genes (基因) in common than strangers do. Researchers looked at the genes of 1,932 people and compared unrelated friends’ genes and unrelated strangers’ genes. They found that friends have about 1% of genes that match. This is the same amount of genes you share with your fourth cousins, those who have the same great-great-great grandparents as you. So do you happen to become friends with people who share your genes? Not at all. In fact, it is evolution (进化) that brings you together. “People who share certain genes also share skills and have similar likes and dislikes,” researchers said. In ancient times, it was important that people who were alike stayed together. For example, people who were more easily affected by the cold were more likely to help each other build a fire to stay alive. Researchers also found that smell-related genes were most similar in friends. This is probably because people with similar senses of smell are more easily attracted to similar environments. For example, people who like the smell of coffee may visit cafés more often and as a result are more likely to meet and become friends with each other. With these findings, the team has developed an interesting test called the “friendship score”. It can help show the chances of two people being friends. So, here is a question for you: Would you like to take this test and know early who your friends are going to be, or would you still prefer to learn about it by yourself and let time be the judge? 1．What can we know about our friends from the first two paragraphs? A．They live close to our family. B．They look like our fourth cousins. C．They never make friends with strangers. D．They share about 1% of genes with us. 2．Why do people with similar smell-related genes become friends more easily? A．They avoid the crowded areas. B．They have better sense of smell. C．They prefer different environments. D．They are attracted to similar places. 3．What is the “friendship score”? A．A method to teach how to make friends. B．A tool to tell if two people can be friends. C．A survey to know about friends’ hobbies. D．A game to check how close the friends are. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了朋友之间基因相似性的研究，发现朋友之间有约1%的基因相同，这与第四代表亲的基因相似度相同，并探讨了基因相似性如何影响友谊的形成。 1．第二段指出研究发现：“friends have about 1% of genes that match”，这直接说明朋友之间共享约1%的基因。   2．第五段说明原因：“people with similar senses of smell are more easily attracted to similar environments”，并以喜欢咖啡香味的人为例，因此他们更容易在相同场所相遇。   3．最后一段定义：“It can help show the chances of two people being friends”，说明“友谊评分”是一种用于预测两人成为朋友可能性的工具。 On August 7, 2025, OpenAI introduced GPT-5, a major update for ChatGPT that brings faster responses (反应), more accurate (准确的) answers, and better problem-solving skills than older versions. This advancement has made the competition in the AI field even stronger, but it has also sparked discussions about how AI might affect people's mental well-being and job opportunities in the future. Available to all ChatGPT users at no cost, GPT-5 shows improvements in writing, programming, and answering health questions. Most importantly, it makes 45% fewer factual mistakes than GPT-4 and clearly tells users when it doesn’t know something, instead of making up answers. OpenAI’s leader Sam Altman praised GPT-5 as a big step toward AI that thinks like humans. He explained, “While GPT-4 was like talking to a college student, GPT-5 feels like getting advice from a top expert in many fields.” With 700 million people using it every week, OpenAI stays ahead despite new competitors. One exciting new feature is “prompt-based programming,” which lets users create working software just by giving simple instructions. During a test, GPT-5 built a website with fun games to help people learn French in only a few minutes, proving how useful it could be for programmers. However, concerns (担忧) remain about jobs being replaced by AI. Some tech leaders say AI now handles (处理) more than 40% of basic coding work. Others worry about people relying (依赖) too much on AI, sharing a story where a man’s constant use of AI hurt his family relationships. As GPT-5 becomes more common in schools and offices, it shows both the amazing possibilities and the social challenges that come with advanced AI technology. 1．What is one key improvement of GPT-5? A．It can speak 10 new languages. B．It has 45% fewer factual errors. C．It is free for only premium users. D．It runs on solar power. 2．Which of the following statements is not right? A．Sam Altman thinks GPT-5 is as good as a top expert. B．When GPT-5 doesn’t know something, it won't create an answer. C．The competition in the AI field becomes stronger because of GPT-5. D．Prompt-based programming will make traditional programmers unnecessary. 3．This passage can be divided into several parts. Which one is the most reasonable (合理的)? A．①/②③/④⑤/⑥ B．①②/③④/⑤⑥ C．①/②/③④/⑤⑥ D．①②③/④⑤/⑥ 4．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To advertise GPT-5 as the best AI ever. B．To warn against using AI at all. C．To report GPT-5’s upgrades and effects on society. D．To compare GPT-5 with other companies’ products. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．A 4．C 【导语】本文主要讲述了OpenAI推出的GPT-5在反应速度、准确性、问题解决能力等方面的改进，以及它对社会带来的积极影响和潜在挑战，如就业替代和人际关系问题。 1．细节理解题。 根据“Most importantly, it makes 45% fewer factual mistakes than GPT-4 and clearly tells users when it doesn’t know something, instead of making up answers.”可知，GPT-5比GPT-4减少了45%的事实性错误。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第四段“One exciting new feature is “prompt-based programming,” which lets users create working software just by giving simple instructions.”功能可知，“基于提示的编程”让用户只需给出简单指令即可创建可运行的软件。但并未提到传统程序员将变得不必要。选项D表述过于绝对，与原文不符。故选D。 3．篇章结构题。 通读全文可知，①段整体引出GPT-5的发布，以及它带来的AI领域竞争变化和引发的相关讨论，起到总起的作用；②-③段介绍GPT-5的改进和优势；④-⑤段讨论GPT-5新功能的应用及其带来的社会影响；⑥段总结GPT-5的双面性。所以最合理的划分是①/②③/④⑤/⑥。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。 全文主要介绍GPT-5的升级功能及其对社会的影响，既包括技术进步，也涉及潜在问题。故选C。 One day, while his mother was out hunting, the gray cub (幼兽) found the way out of the cave. At first, he was afraid. But the need to know and understand was greater than his fear, so he went out. He soon discovered that the floor of the world was not flat like the floor of the cave. And he fell, screaming in fear. But he soon sat up, and started walking and looking around him. He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him. So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved. He had beginner’s luck when he fell into a ptarmigan’s (雷鸟) nest. In the nest, there were seven chicks. He realized this was meat, like his mother gave him. So he ate them all. As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth. He was excited and happy. He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learned another important lesson. Then he left the ptarmigan free and rested. As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle. He was learning. Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things. Later something small jumped in front of him, so he put his paw on it. It was a young weasel (鼬鼠). It made strange noises, and soon the mother weasel appeared. She jumped at his neck and bit him with sharp teeth. She wasn’t big, but he didn’t know how dangerous weasels were. Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on.

A．happy→excited→surprised→afraid B．happy→surprised→excited→afraid C．afraid→happy→surprised→frightened D．afraid→excited→happy→frightened 5．The best title for the story is ________. A．The Law of Meat B．The Gray Cub’s First Adventure C．The Gray Cub in Danger D．Mothers’ Fights for Children 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．A 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文完整讲述灰狼幼崽第一次独自走出洞穴外出探索、一路遭遇各种动物、不断学习生存法则的冒险经历。 1．根据文章第三段“It was what wolves did.”以及最后一段“The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him”可知，这只灰色幼兽是一只狼。 2．通读全文可知，小狼崽共学到了三项经验：1. 第二段中“So he learned that the world had things that stayed in one place, and other things that moved.”提到他学会了世界上有些东西是静止的，有些是移动的；2. 第三段“He was fighting for meat, fighting to kill. It was what wolves did. He learned another important lesson.”提到他学会了活物是肉，但要学会捕猎；3. 第五段“Live things were meat, but if they were big enough, live things could also hurt. It was better to eat small live things.”提到他学会了太大的活物会伤害自己，最好吃小的活物。 3．根据故事情节发展顺序：第一段“And he fell, screaming in fear.”提到他摔倒了且害怕(a)；第二段“He met a squirrel, and a woodpecker, both of which moved away from him.”提到他遇到了松鼠和啄木鸟(b)；第三段“As he walked away from the nest, the mother ptarmigan attacked him. He fought back, biting her wing with his small teeth.提到他与母雷鸟打斗(e)；第四段“As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky. It was an eagle.”提到他看到鹰抓走了雷鸟(d)；第七段“Suddenly she jumped, and bit into his throat. He tried to fight, but the weasel held on. The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.”提到他被鼬鼠咬住喉咙濒临死亡(c)。正确顺序为a-b-e-d-c。 4．根据文章情感变化线索：第一段“At first, he was afraid.”起初他很害怕；第三段“He was excited and happy.”他既兴奋又快乐；第四段“As he watched her, something rushed down from above him, picked up the ptarmigan and flew back up into the sky.”看到鹰突然抓走雷鸟，属于意外的发现，隐含惊讶(surprised)；最后一段“The cub was sure to die, but luckily his mother, the she-wolf, heard his frightened calls and came to save him.”听到他恐惧的叫声。因此情感变化为害怕→快乐→惊讶→恐惧。 5．文章主要讲述了灰色小狼崽在母亲外出时第一次走出洞穴，经历了一系列探索、捕猎、遇险并被母亲解救的过程，这是一次冒险经历。选项B“The Gray Cub’s First Adventure”最能概括全文主旨。 Tea has long been a popular drink in China. Chinese people love different kinds of tea. Among them, black tea and white tea from Fujian, green tea from Zhejiang and Anhui, and dark tea from Yunnan are some of the favorites. In the Song Dynasty (960—1279) , tea culture reached new heights. The beauty of the Song tea came alive through “dian cha”. Powdered (粉状的) tea was whisked (搅打) with water into soft “clouds”. White tea was often used to make the “clouds” as white as the moonlight. Tea artists used clean water to draw pictures on them with a teaspoon. The way of serving dian cha became a living art. It later influenced Japanese tea culture. Today, more young people are learning and passing it on. Yunnan’s dark tea, especially Pu’er, got famous because of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, a historical trade (贸易) route. And it won popularity around the world. In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er from Yunnan in a Hong Kong shop. In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe. Since1986, Yunnan’s Pu’er tuocha has got many prizes at food expos (博览会) in France, America and other countries. Today you can see an old Australian lady holding a cup of tea of sun-dried Pu’er, though she still enjoys her English-style black tea with milk and sugar. Tea is a bridge of friendship among nations and peoples. Tea is enjoyed timelessly from ancient to modern times. Each cup of dian cha, white as the moonlight, turned tea into art, and art into eternity (永恒) . Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west. Each cup of Pu’er, with the smell of sunshine, turns tea into friendship, and friendship into a shared future. 1．What kind of tea was often used for dian cha according to the passage? A．Black tea. B．Green tea. C．Dark tea. D．White tea. 2．When did Fred Kempler begin to sell “Yunnan Tuocha” in Europe? A．In 1986. B．In 1976. C．In 1279. D．In 960. 3．Which sentence uses “globally” with the same meaning as the underlined word? globally /’gləʊbəli/ adv. ①全球地   ②全面地   ③总体而言，整体地 A．Globally, our class did well in the English test. B．The Olympic Games bring people together globally. C．The story is globally interesting though some parts are slow. D．This math question needs you to consider the numbers globally. 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Art in a Tea Cup B．Tea Trade in China C．More Than a Drink D．Journey of Yunnan Tea 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文介绍了中国历史悠久且深受喜爱的茶文化。 1．第2段：“White tea was often used to make the ‘clouds’ as white as the moonlight.” 可知，在宋代，白茶（White tea）经常被用来制作像月光一样白的“云朵”，即用于“点茶（dian cha）”。 2．第3段：“In 1976, Frenchman Fred Kempler found a new kind of Pu’er... In the same year, he visited Yunnan, bought nearly two tons, and began to sell ‘Yunnan Tuocha’ in Europe.” 可知，Fred Kempler是在发现该茶的同一年（1976年）开始在欧洲销售“云南沱茶”的。 3．最后一段：“Tea is also loved globally from the east to the west.” 结合后半句“从东方到西方”，可知划线词“globally”在这里的意思是“全球地、在世界范围内（①）”。B 选项“奥运会把全世界的人们聚集在一起”中的“globally”同样表示“全球地”；而 A、C、D 选项中的“globally”结合其语境，均侧重于“总体上、全面地（②、③）”之意。 4．文章第一段引出茶是中国受欢迎的饮品；第二段描述了宋代将茶变成一门艺术（art into eternity）；第三、四段讲述了普洱茶走向世界，将茶变成了跨越国界的友谊（turns tea into friendship）。综合来看，茶的意义远超出了饮品本身，因此“不仅仅是一种饮品（More Than a Drink）”是最能全面概括文章深层主旨的最佳标题。 Recently, a sad news story about “blood cats” has made many people in China worried and think deeply. Some stray cats were caught and forced to give large amounts of their blood. This blood was then sold to pet hospitals for blood transfusions (输血). People call these poor cats “blood cats”. This is not the right way to treat animals. Cats, like all living creatures, should be treated with kindness. A cat can only safely give a small amount of blood once in a while. But these “blood cats” had far too much blood taken, which is very dangerous and cruel. This problem shows us a bigger issue: we need to learn how to live in peace with all animals on Earth, both pets and wild animals. Our Wild Friends Need Help Too Many wild animals, like pandas, tigers, and elephants, are also in danger. They face serious problems. Their homes are destroyed when forests are cut down. They sometimes can’t find enough food or clean water. Also, some people hunt them for their fur or other body parts. What Can We Do? It is important to remember that animals are our friends. To protect them is to protect ourselves. Here are some things we can do: ·Protect the environment. We can help by keeping their habitats clean and safe. ·Support nature reserves. Governments and groups can build more nature reserves where animals can live safely. ·Stop hunting. There should be laws to stop people from killing endangered animals. ·Be kind to all animals. We should treat pets and stray animals with care and report any bad behavior towards them. If everyone makes a little contribution, it will make a big difference. Let’s learn to live in peace with all animals. 1．According to the passage, what are “blood cats”? A．Cats that like the smell of blood. B．Cats that are sick and need blood transfusions. C．Stray cats forced to give too much blood for sale. D．Cats that live in pet hospitals. 2．What is one reason why wild animals are in danger? A．They don’t have enough friends. B．They are always hungry. C．Their habitats are being destroyed. D．They are forced to give blood. 3．What does the passage suggest we should do to protect animals? A．Take all wild animals to zoos. B．Build more nature reserves and stop hunting. C．Only take care of pet animals. D．Sell stray cats to pet hospitals. 4．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To tell an interesting story about a pet cat. B．To explain how to take care of a pet. C．To discuss animal cruelty and the importance of protecting animals. D．To describe the different kinds of wild animals in the world. 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文首先通过“血猫”这一令人痛心的现象引出动物保护的话题，指出虐待动物的残酷性。随后文章扩展到野生动物的生存危机（栖息地破坏、非法猎杀等），并提出了保护动物的具体建议，如保护环境、建立自然保护区、禁止猎杀以及善待所有动物，旨在呼吁人们与动物和平共处。 1．根据第二段：“Some stray cats were caught and forced to give large amounts of their blood. This blood was then sold... People call these poor cats ‘blood cats’.”可知，“血猫”是指那些被捕捉并被迫抽取大量血液用于出售的流浪猫。 2．根据第五段：“Their homes are destroyed when forests are cut down.”可知，野生动物面临危险的原因之一是它们的栖息地（homes/habitats）正在被破坏。 3．根据文章最后部分的建议：“Support nature reserves...Stop hunting.”可知，文章建议建立更多的自然保护区并停止猎杀。 4．通读全文可知，文章先从“血猫”这一虐待动物事件入手，接着阐述野生动物面临的困境，最后提出保护动物的具体措施，旨在讨论动物虐待问题并强调保护动物的重要性。 Reshi completed a 12-page children’s book, Alice and Sparkle, with the help of a chatbot called ChatGPT. A chatbot is a computer program that uses AI to imitate human thinking and writing. The book’s text was produced using it, and Reshi created illustrations (插图) using another AI program, Midjourney, which translates words into images. When Reshi posted the book online, it was really popular with the children. And some people praised him for his intelligence. However, not everyone was pleased. Some artists were critical (批判性的). They pointed out the poor quality of the artwork. The more serious problem, they said, was the way the art was made. Midjourney searches through millions of images across the Internet. It uses algorithms (算法) to find patterns in those images and create new ones. Think of the artists who upload their works online. Midjourney uses their works without their permission (允许). Some companies have already chosen AI over human talent. At a comedy club, an AI-powered robot told jokes, instead of human beings. And the San Francisco Ballet used images generated by Midjourney to make its ballet show The Nutcracker more popular by advertising. Many artists and writers are nervous about their future. Will people pay them for their work if it can be done more cheaply by using AI? “As a person who makes money and finds joy in the writing, I’m troubled to see people look for cheap alternatives (替代品) rather than actual human writing,” journalist Josephine says. There should be protections for artists and authors whose work might be used in AI algorithms. There’s real concern (担忧). The tech industry that’s working on these tools should involve artists in the process of creation. 1．The passage is most likely to be taken from a ________. A．newspaper B．science fiction C．storybook D．travel guide 2．The way in which the book was made is in the order of ________. ①Artists uploaded their work on the Internet. ②Midjourney created new images without artists’ permission. ③The AI program used algorithms to find the patterns. ④Midjourney searched through a great number of images online. A．①③④② B．④①③② C．③④①② D．①④③② 3．In Paragraph 4, the writer shows the popularity of using AI by ________. A．listing numbers B．giving examples C．making comparisons D．showing opinions 4．Which of the following best shows the main concern of the passage? A．AI is developing too quickly for people to understand. B．AI may reduce the value of human creative work. C．AI is making children’s books more interesting. D．AI is helping artists earn more money. 5．What’s the writer’s attitude towards Reshi’s event? A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Critical. D．Uninterested. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文讨论了使用AI创作儿童书籍引发的争议，包括对艺术家作品被未经授权使用的担忧，以及AI可能降低人类创意价值的问题。 1．本文是一篇关于AI创作争议的新闻报道，最可能出自报纸。 2．第三段指出制作过程顺序为：“artists who upload their works online”（①）→“Midjourney searches through millions of images”（④）→“uses algorithms to find patterns”（③）→“Midjourney uses their works without their permission”（②），因此正确顺序为①④③②。 3．第四段通过举例“At a comedy club, an AI-powered robot told jokes...the San Francisco Ballet used images generated by Midjourney”来展示AI的流行。 4．第六段Josephine说“troubled to see people look for cheap alternatives rather than actual human writing”，说明AI可能降低人类创意价值是主要担忧。 5．最后一段作者引用艺术家和记者的批评，并指出“There should be protections”，说明作者持批判态度。 There once was a little weed in a field. All around it stood tall and beautiful flowers. The children liked to play in the field all year round. One fine day, three sisters came to play. They were laughing and chatting with each other. “Let’s pick some flowers for Grandma!” said one. “That’s a good idea!” said another. “She will love these beautiful flowers!” The children began picking flowers and soon, almost all the flowers in the field were in their hands. “What about that one?” the youngest child said, pointing at the weed. “Forget it!” said the oldest one. “That’s just a useless weed!” Hearing this, the weed felt upset. “Am I really useless?” It asked itself. “Why was I put on this Earth?” With all the nearby flowers gone, the little weed felt lonely. Even though it had felt envious of the tall flowers, it liked being around them. The autumn wind blew over the field, and the snows of winter came very soon. Just then, the weed noticed some birds flying high above the field. “We are hungry!” they cried. “Where can we find food to eat?” The weed felt sorry for the poor birds and called out to them, “Hey! I have tasty seeds that you can eat!” “You are so kind!” the birds said as they enjoyed the seeds. “They are delicious and they will keep us full for a long time!” What they said made the little weed feel happy. It was glad to help its new friends. “At last, I have found out what I am good for!” the weed thought. “Next year, I will make twice as many seeds, so I can feed more hungry birds that need food!” The weed looked forward to telling the tall flowers all about its new friends when they grew back in spring. Now, it feels great to be a little weed! 1．What did the oldest child think of the weed in the field? A．It was completely useless to them. B．It was the perfect gift for their grandma. C．It was as beautiful as the flowers around. D．It would grow more seeds in autumn. 2．How did the weed’s feelings change according to the story? A．Sorry → sad → lonely → happy. B．Lonely → sorry → happy → sad. C．Sad → lonely → sorry → happy. D．Lonely → sad → happy → sorry. 3．What do the words “its new friends” in the last paragraph refer to? A．Flowers. B．Children. C．Seeds. D．Birds. 4．Which of the following stories has a meaning similar to the above story? A．Yu Gong Moves a Mountain B．Hou Yi Shoots the Suns C．The Emperor’s New Clothes D．The Ugly Duckling 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文讲述了一株被孩子嫌弃“无用”的小野草，在经历孤独与自我怀疑后，因帮助饥饿的鸟儿发现自己独特价值，最终重拾自信、感到自豪的成长故事，传递“每个人都有其独特意义”的温暖主题。 1．根据文中第六段oldest one说的话“That’s just a useless weed!”可知，最大的孩子认为野草对她们来说完全没用。 2．根据文中情节发展：原文“Hearing this, the weed felt upset.””听到孩子说它无用感到upset“难过”；原文“With all the nearby flowers gone, the little weed felt lonely.”花被采走后感到lonely“孤独”；原文“The weed felt sorry for the poor birds...”看到饥饿的鸟儿感到sorry“同情/难过”；原文“What they said made the little weed feel happy.”帮助鸟儿后感到happy“高兴”。情感变化顺序为：Sad→lonely→sorry→happy。 3．根据倒数第三段“The weed felt sorry for the poor birds...a long time!”可知，野草给鸟儿提供了种子，鸟儿感谢了野草，野草很高兴能帮助它们。因此“its new friends”指代的是那些吃了种子的鸟儿即Birds。 4．本文讲述了一棵野草起初觉得自己无用，后来通过帮助鸟儿找到了自己的价值。这与《丑小鸭》“The Ugly Duckling”的故事主题相似，都是关于起初被轻视或觉得自己无用，最终发现自我价值的故事。 Primary and secondary schools across Chinese cities have increased the time of class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes since the beginning of the fall term in order to encourage outdoor activities among both students and teachers. This move is to make sure students can have at least 30 minutes of physical exercise a day. So it is praised by parents and students. Cities including Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao have taken similar steps. In Beijing, the increased break times have not affected students’ overall timetables. The time for morning arrival and afternoon dismissal (放学) remain unchanged in primary schools, while middle school dismissal has been delayed by five minutes, according to an official. The government also lifted (取消) early starts to classes and restrictions (限制) on break activities, stressing that the goal is to “return break time to the students.” Schools in the Wuqing district of Tianjin have adopted (采用) 15-minute breaks and offered one physical education class daily. Students are required to engage in physical exercise which adds up to 100 minutes, with the aim of improving outdoor activities and social interaction (社交互动). According to a local news report, a primary school in Qingdao introduced many different kinds of outdoor games during the 15-minute breaks, such as jump rope and hula hoop exercises. The school organizes students by floor to make sure that every child can take part in outdoor activities. A physical fitness examination in May showed that the percentage of Qingdao students achieving “excellent” or “good” fitness ratings (体能评级) increased by 10 percentage points to 47 percent. 1．What does “This move” in Paragraph 2 refer to (指的是)? A．Exercising since the beginning of the term. B．Encouraging outdoor activities. C．Increasing the time of class breaks. D．Cutting out breaks between two classes. 2．What does the underlined word “morning arrival” probably mean in Chinese? A．早操 B．晨会 C．晨读 D．早上到校 3．How many cities are mentioned in the passage? A．2. B．3. C．4. D．5. 4．What’s the structure of the text? (①=Paragraph 1 ②=Paragraph 2, ...) A．①②/③④⑤ B．①/②③④⑤ C．①②③/④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了中国城市中小学增加课间时间以鼓励学生进行户外活动，介绍了该举措的目的，并详细说明了北京、天津、青岛三个城市的具体实施情况及成效。 1．文章第1段“Primary and secondary schools across Chinese cities have increased the time of class breaks from 10 to 15 minutes since the beginning of the fall term”表明自秋季学期开始，国内多个城市的中小学将课间休息时间从10分钟延长至15分钟；This move指代“延长课间休息时间”这件事。 2．文章第3段“In Beijing, the increased break times have not affected students’ overall timetables. The time for morning arrival and afternoon dismissal remain unchanged”中afternoon dismissal是放学，与之对应的morning arrival指早上到校。 3．文章第2段“Cities including Beijing, Tianjin, and Qingdao have taken similar steps.”提到3座城市。 4．文章第①段和第②段总体介绍了增加课间时间的政策、目的及涉及城市，第③段至第⑤段分别详细介绍了北京、天津和青岛的具体做法，文章属于总分结构，即①②为总述，③④⑤为分述。 Scenic spots (景点) usually hold various fun activities to welcome tourists. These days, real-life NPC performances have become a big hit in China’s cultural tourism. NPC, or Non-Player Characters, first came from video games. It means the computer-controlled characters that talk and play with game players. These characters make players have more fun while playing games. Now, this idea has come to scenic spots. Professional actors dress up as historical people or local cultural characters, talking and playing with visitors in a natural and relaxing way. They are known as real-life tourism NPCs. Lots of real-life NPC performances have become very popular online. The famous show “Snow Cake Monkey” in Changchun is loved by tourists for its funny, down-to-earth acts. In Suqian, the actor, who plays the ancient hero Xiang Yu, shows the special charm (魅力) of that time. Also, the funny local matchmakers in Kaifeng and the graceful Tang Dynasty actors in Xi’an make visitors’ trips much more enjoyable. The popularity of these tourism NPCs shows that people’s travel needs have changed. Modern tourists are no longer satisfied with trips where they only take photos. Instead, they hope to have warm, personal connections with the place. These live shows can make tourists stay longer, help people spend more money in the local area, and make different scenic spots feel less the same. Besides bringing money and growth to tourism, real-life NPCs help spread traditional culture in a creative way. By mixing historical stories with new interactive(互动的) forms, they make traditional culture easier for young people to understand and enjoy. This new trend (趋势) shows China’s hard work to connect culture with tourism, and pass down our cultural treasures to more people. 1．What are real-life NPCs in tourism? A．Persons who love playing video games. B．Players who are controlled by computers. C．Actors who play cultural roles in scenic spots. D．Characters who perform in online video games. 2．What advantages do real-life NPC performances have? ①They make tourists feel closer to the place. ② They make different scenic spots the same. ③ They help people spend more money in the local area. ④They help spread traditional culture in creative ways. A．②③④ B．①②③ C．①②④ D．①③④ 3．What is the best title for the text? A．China’s tourism NPC: A fun story about short trips B．China’s tourism NPC: A creative designer of short trips C．China’s tourism NPC: A new attraction of cultural tourism D．China’s tourism NPC: A traditional form of cultural tourism 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍文旅实景NPC的起源、多地实例、走红原因以及它带动旅游、创新传播传统文化的多重价值。 1．根据第二段“Professional actors dress up as historical people or local cultural characters...They are known as real-life tourism NPCs.”可知，文旅实景NPC指的是在景点装扮成文化角色并与游客互动的专业演员，对应C选项。 2．根据第四段“have warm, personal connections with the place...help people spend more money...make different scenic spots feel less the same”及第五段“help spread traditional culture in a creative way”可知，文中支持①让游客感受更亲近、③帮助当地消费、④创新传播文化；文中提到让景点差异化，②表述不符。包含①③④的选项正确。 3．根据第一段“real-life NPC performances have become a big hit in China’s cultural tourism.”及全文内容可推知，文章围绕文旅实景NPC这一文化旅游新热点展开，C选项精准概括核心内容。 五、书面表达 1．假如你是李华，你在英国的笔友Andy给你发来电子邮件，想了解你近阶段的学习、生活情况。请认真阅读下面的邮件，根据信中的内容用英语回复。 To: Lihua@China.com From: Andy@Britain.com Dear Li Hua, I hear that your school has just celebrated its 30th birthday.
