"My (good) friend has passed away," he said."No one in the world understands my music anymore." he broke his Guqin and never played it again.

This scene happened at the World Digital Education Meeting from May 14 to 16 in Wuhan,Hubei province. Scientists at Wuhan University invented the robotic fish. The pretty colors of them came from the LED lights on their bodies. These lights could also give the underwater world a party feel.
The robotic fish were about 53 centimeters long. That's why the robotic fish acted like real ones. With the special design, they can move fast and easily.
"I love to see the robotic fish," Professor James Crabbe from Oxford University told the media."It could tell us much more about fish groups and how fish behave(表现)."
Fish swim together in large groups. The robotic fish helps us learn about fish groups and understand how real fish live. It can also show how changes in the environment influence them.
With the help of AI and sensors(传感器), they can"see" things in their way and learn to avoid them. They are already helping in the study of the Yangtze River's water to help protect the environment.

When people talk about Vincent van Gogh, his famous works like The Starry Night (1889)and Sunflowers (1888) often come to mind. Many of his great works are now housed in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Since it opened in 1973, nearly 57 million people have visited the museum. However, AP News reported that the museum might have to close if the government doesn't offer more money for necessary repairs. These repairs are important to keep the art collection and visitors safe. During the repair work, some parts of the museum will be shut down. This means the museum will earn less money from ticket sales.
In fact, ticket sales alone can't cover the costs of running a museum. Museums need help from the government and rich people. For example, in the United States, the National Endowment for the Arts (国家艺术基金会) and other organizations provide money for specific projects, repair work and daily operations (运营). This public support shows that museums play an important role in education and culture. Besides, art collectors and even ordinary visitors may give money to museums.
Museums also make money through different activities. Some museums now have nice gift shops and cafes. Visitors can buy books, gifts and branded merchandise (品牌商品) there, and they can also enjoy food and drinks in the cafes.
Museums have changed a lot over time, and they keep looking for new ways to give visitors better experiences and attract more donors (赞助人).

D、To explain why Van Gogh's works are great.(2)、What does the underlined word"housed" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A、painted B、created C、sold D、stored(3)、Which of the following are possible reasons for the Van Gogh Museum to close?①It lacks money for necessary repairs.
② It has too few visitors every year.
③ The government decides to shut it down.
④ Its ticket sales will drop during repairs.
A、①② B、②③ C、①④ D、③④(4)、What can we infer(推断) from Paragraph 3?A、The government pays all museum running costs. B、Public support helps museums develop better. C、Only rich people donate money to museums. D、US Museums don't need money from ticket sales.(5)、What can we learn from the passage?A、The Van Gogh Museum has been open for over 50 years. B、Museums mainly depend on selling food and drinks to survive. C、The Van Gogh Museum has closed because of safety reasons. D、Visitors can't buy branded goods in most museums now. -

6、 阅读下列短文,从下面每小题给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. Sometimes you may find it hard to remember your number. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world.
The 11 digits are divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three digits tell you your mobile phone service provider. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number appeared for the first time. The last four digits are chosen freely.
The main reason for using 11-digits is China's large population. We once used 10 digits. But as our population grew, that was not enough. From 1999 on, we started to use 11 digits, which can create tens of billions of numbers. This is enough for every person to have several numbers.
Mobile phone numbers can be recycled (回收). Usually, a service provider will reuse a number if it has been stopped for three to six months. So if you call an old number, a different person might answer!
Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.
(1)、How does the writer start the passage?A、By listing numbers. B、By telling a story. C、By giving some facts. D、By asking a question.(2)、What do the first three digits of a Chinese mobile number tell us?A、Where the number was created. B、When the number first appeared. C、The service provider of the number. D、The personal information of the owner.(3)、Why did China begin using 11-digit numbers?A、Because the population became larger. B、Because service providers asked for it. C、Because it was the same as the other countries. D、Because this made numbers easier to remember.(4)、What may happen if a user completely gives up his mobile phone number?A、The number won't be used any more. B、The number will be used by a new owner. C、The number will be given to another country. D、The number will be kept by the provider forever.(5)、What is the main idea of the passage?A、How to recycle old mobile phone numbers. B、Mobile phone numbers in different countries. C、Ways to remember China's mobile phone numbers. D、Facts about China's 11-digit mobile phone numbers. -

When something goes wrong,what would you say?It can be very easy to say,"I know I'm late, but it's not my fault (过错).The car broke down."It's probably not your fault, once you form the habit of blaming(责备)somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing to help change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop (focus)on whom to blame.Focus on how to make the situation (good)than before.This is the winner's first key to success.
Winners are great at solving (problem).For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe your car should (check)more often.Or you should start to keep some useful phone numbers with you,so you can callhelp when you're in need.For another example, if your workmate lacks(缺乏)responsibility, find ways to deal with his fault rather than (simple)blame the person.You should accept the fact and find creative ways to work successfully,paying no attention to how your workmate failed to do his job well
Being concentrated is a winner's (two)key.For example,when I feel ervous,repeating words like "calm""peace"or "focus"helps a lot.It makes me feel more in ontrol and (improve)my ability to stay focused.This habit can become second ature quite easily and is powerful psychological(心理的)tool.

E.Communication can happen in any place at any time.
F.Helping around the house brings family members much closer.
Family is a word that has special meaning to everyone. But because of different personalities,values,likes and dislikes,some unhappy things happen among family members once in a while.So how can we achieve family happiness?
Learn to say thanks and sorry.We are used to saying thanks and sorry to others,but often fail to do that to our family members.Sometimes we forget. By saying thanks,we can make our family members feel they're important.And saying sorry makes them feel understood.
Communicate with each other often. We can talk about experiences and feelings with family members in the car,at the dinner table or on the way back home.It can let us know we care about each other.
Share housework. Since we live in one house,we are supposed to do our part in keeping it clean and tidy.It's easy to help do chores like making the bed or doing the dishes.In this way,we can understand the sense of responsibility.
We rush around all day,but nothing is more important than spending time with family members.Either having meals or travelling together is a good choice.Not only will this allow us to enjoy the deep love,but it can also leave us sweet and unforgettable memories.

When I was 13,I knocked over a white vase while cleaning the shelf.It was broken into pieces.This vase was Grandma's favourite.Too scared to tell the truth,I quickly collected the brokcn pieccs and hid them under the rose bushes in the backyard.
In the following days,I didn't dare to look into Grandma's kind eyes.Every time she entered the room,I pretended to be busy studying.Days passed and on my 14th birthday,Grandma handed me a gift which was packed in yellow paper.Inside was the same vase —but it had golden lines running across it like rivers of light."I found the pieces last month,"she said with a smile. "I used special gold glue(胶水)to fix it.See?The cracks (裂缝)don't hide our mistakes. They make the vase stronger and more beautiful."
I placed the vase on my desk.Every morning the golden lines reminded me that mistakes aren't disasters but chances to learn and grow.Grandma's words stayed with me,teaching me an important lesson about life

My daughter,15,has learnt martial arts(武术)since the first grade,and has been in honour roll(优等生名单)and gifted classes.However,my 11-year-old son,Tom,for years,would fight with me over everything.For years,he was failing several subjects.We took games away,then TV and finally the smartphone;we tried a reward programme,but nothing worked for long.He would bring a grade up to get all his things back,and then go back to his old ways.
One day,my daughter told me to bring him to her martial arts class,and maybe the discipline (训练)there would help him turn around.At first,he didn't like it because he had to ask for permission to do everything.He even had to respect his sister because she was of a high level.So he wanted to stop.However,my husband told my son,"If I can do this at the age of 40,so can you."And since then,my husband would learn martial arts three or four times a week with them.
My son has learnt so much about a better way of living:respecting others,following the rules,and above all,respecting himself.I'm proud to say both of my kids are now honour roll students,and we couldn't be closer than we are.
