1、阅读下面短文,从五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项。
In life, it's important for you to express your thoughts clearly. Also, another thing you should learn to express clearly is your feeling.
"Happiness" is a great feeling that comes when you are happy with your situation. When you receive a present that you like, you feel happy.
"Sadness" has to do with dissatisfaction (不满) with a result. There are different degrees of sadness. Deeper sadness, however, happens when you experience a bad situation that has a long-lasting influence.
"Fear" is another word to describe a feeling. You may feel it when facing an emotional threat (威胁) as well. For example, a physical threat that might make you feel fear is a dog or a car. However, you might also feel fear if you face the threat of losing something valuable.
This kind of feeling is triggered (触发) when you face the threat of harm or danger. For example, if someone copies your answers in a test, you will feel angry.
You may feel surprised when you experience something unexpected. In other cases, this kind of feeling refers to something unhappy, in which cases it's more like a shock.
A. If you are not happy with y our situation, you will feel sad.
B. Fear isn't just felt when you face physical (身体上的) danger.
C. "Anger" is a strong emotion that you feel if someone hurts you or someone you value.
D. Here, we will go through some of the most common words for feelings and emotions (情绪).
E. For example, if you enter a room and people come out with a cake, you might have this feeling.

2、In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI 人工智能) technology has developed rapidly and is being used in people's life and work. From self-driving cars to smart homes to data analysis, AI is gradually changing the way we work and live. In this situation, many traditional human work can be replaced by intelligent tools. On the one hand, people are happy to have so many useful AI tools to make our work and life easier. On the other hand, people are worried that their jobs will be replaced by AI tools, and can't find jobs to live on.
Some young people believe that with the popularization of AI translation tools, the need to learn foreign languages is greatly reduced. After all, an APP on a smartphone can translate different languages quickly, helping people who speak different languages communicate. In addition, AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and many other such tools or websites can help people realize all kinds of ideas, such as writing, drawing, making videos, searching for materials, and analyzing data. Most AI tools can help with writing in any language. Some teenagers think the ability to write in a foreign language or a native language is not important, as long as they can use AI tools. They no longer need to spend a lot of time learning these "fungible" skills.
However, other young people have different ideas. They believe that improving information literacy (信息素养) and the ability to control AI technology is more important in the time of AI. This includes not only basic computer skills, but also thinking and moral judgment (道德判断). Students should be prepared to live with AI, learn knowledge, use AI, and even develop new AI tools.
(1)、AI technology is not widely used in ________.A、self-driving cars B、smart home C、data analysis D、emotional understanding(2)、AI translation tools ________.A、can completely replace foreign language learning B、can translate all languages easily C、reduce the need to learn a foreign language D、can only help users with a written translation(3)、What does the underlined (划线的) word "fungible" mean?A、Replaceable. B、Repetitive. C、Useless. D、Boring.(4)、What does the writer want to tell us?A、In the time of AI, students don't need to learn any foreign language. B、It's not important for people to improve their writing. C、People should learn more and master skills that cannot be replaced by AI tools. D、Computer skills are more important than thinking and moral judgment. -
3、When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive. After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels (洞穴通道). I was very surprised that each one knew that each had its own job.
On the fifth day a tragedy (悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after the earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not understand why their tunnels were gone.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm which taught me much.
After that happened, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make a wonderful home for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.
But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. If a tunnel is gone, we can build another. Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.
(1)、What did the writer's family do for him?A、They bought a few ants. B、They built a farm of ants. C、They caught a lot of ants. D、They found an ant city.(2)、Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A、The ant died one by one because the tunnels were destroyed. B、The ants didn't give up when the tunnels were destroyed. C、Ants are afraid of the earthquake. D、The writer broke the glass box to kill all the ants.(3)、What did the writer come to realize recently?A、Teamwork was important. B、He couldn't accept adversity. C、Never give up. D、Adversity can be avoided.(4)、What is the best title for the passage?A、Ants Fear Adversity B、A Good Lesson from Ants C、Giving up in Adversity D、My Family and Ant -
4、In students' daily talks, celebrities (名人) are usually a hot topic, including their dress, behavior, families and other personal things. Then, is it a celebrity's job to be a good role model? Please read the following students' debate.
Is it a celebrity's job to be a good role model?
S1: It's a celebrity's job to be a good role model because people usually look up to stars. If a celebrity drinks and smokes, his fans will follow him because they look up to the celebrity so much. If a celebrity's life style is inappropriate for kids, then their parents should be more careful about what they let their kids see.
S2: I think everyone should try to be a good role model, even if you are not a celebrity! You can still be a role model to your sisters and brothers, a younger neighbour, or anyone. And I think celebrities should be very good, because they are role models for so many people!
S3: A celebrity doesn't have to try to be a good role model. They are famous because they work hard at what they love for a living. They should, however, try to make good choices for themselves, not their fans. Lots of stars have to post apology letters after being caught doing bad things. It's good, but if the only reason they do this is to win back their fans, it's not good.
S4: Although it is a wonderful thing to be a good role model, that's not what celebrities must do. They are famous because they love what they do and are good at it. Being a role model is never in the job. If celebrities know they are affecting the young people, they should try to set a good example.
(1)、Which of the following reasons is NOT from the pros?A、People look up to the celebrities. B、Celebrities should be good persons. C、Everyone should try to be a good role model. D、Celebrities get much love and support from fans.(2)、According to the cons, how do some people become famous?A、By working hard at what they love. B、By setting a good example to others. C、By making good choices for themselves. D、By avoiding being caught doing bad things.(3)、What conclusion can we draw from their opinions?A、When you become a celebrity, you have been a good role model too. B、Only a person who never does bad things can be regarded as a celebrity. C、Even though a celebrity makes mistakes, young people should follow him. D、Whether a celebrity is a role model or not, he should care about his behaviour. -
5、Over recent years, letter writing has been replaced by other ways of communicating. Technology has1 so fast that we now expect to be able to see people at any time and get response2. Rather than put pen to paper, it feels much more natural for us to send text messages and emails.
It is true that these modern ways of communicating have their own3. We can talk to people all over the world even in a few4. Communicating with people by sending text messages or emails can help us save time and receive a5 as soon as possible. We can also6 mistakes in our emails before sending them.

7、 阅读短文,回答问题
Photography(摄影) can be overwhelming(无法抗拒的) for beginners and also for more skilled photographers. From where I stand, you may have one chance to take pictures of a specific(具体的) subject. But if you don't understand your camera, this chance can pass in front of you and I don't suppose you might get the picture that you were expecting.
Sometimes, photographers are intimidated(恐吓) by the subject, by other photographers, by negative thoughts that lead them to think that they might not be good enough, and some are afraid of making mistakes. Once I heard a very rich man say, "I am excited that today I am going to make so many mistakes, and I will learn from them. " People that excel in their fields are those who keep practising, get trained and learn from mistakes. Even if they fall, they have the courage to stand up again and continue moving forward. This is right not only to photography, but to life itself.
Photography is my interest, and I learned that when you are a photographer, you see the world in a different way:I imagine everything I see in the frame(相框). And I like helping other people and teaching what I know, My knowledge of photography has been developing through the years, and I can tell you through experience that the best way to go from not too bad pictures to great pictures is to practise as much as possible.
What are you waiting for? Start photography, make mistakes, take bad pictures, learn your camera, learn from your own mistakes and finally excel in"The Art of Photography".
(1)、The writer starts to introduce the topic by ____ in Paragraph 1.A、telling a story B、giving examples C、asking questions D、showing his opinions(2)、The underlined word"excel" in Paragraph 2 means____ .A、work hard B、are especially good at something C、get up early D、get something good(3)、According to the passage, the best way to learn photography is by ____.A、getting a good camera B、learning from a famous photographer C、keeping practising all the time D、reading good books or magazines(4)、Where can we read the passage?A、In a notice.
