• 1、Chinese scientists have made a new and creative photonic chip (光子芯片). It is expected to help 6G wireless communication develop much faster. This new technology was created by a team from Peking University and City University of Hong Kong, working together.

    What makes this chip special is its ability to cover a very wide frequency range (频率范围)—from 0.5 GHz to 115 GHz. That is, one single chip can replace several separate devices that were needed to handle different frequency bands in the past. Also, the chip's transmission (传输) speed can be over 120 GB per second. That is fast enough to download many high-quality movies in just one second.

    What makes this chip even more amazing is its intelligence. It can automatically find out which frequency bands are busy. Then it can switch to the ones that are not being used. This helps keep the connection more stable and reliable, even in difficult environments.

    The technology uses a special material called lithium niobate (铌酸锂). This material lets the chip process signals well. At the same time, it reduces power consumption (功耗), which makes it more environmentally friendly. This new idea solves a key problem in making 6G systems work in real life.

    This big breakthrough shows that future 6G networks may support new and advanced uses. For example, they can help doctors do operations from far away and help with advanced VR. They can also make perfect connectivity possible. For example, you can stay connected from the deep sea to outer space without stopping. Right now, the research team is trying to make the technology smaller. They want to put it into different devices in the future.

    This progress shows that China is getting increasingly stronger in next-generation communication technology. It also brings us one step closer to the 6G era.

    (1)、What's the advantage of the chip according to the first two paragraphs?
    A、It can cover a very wide frequency range. B、It can download movies in a few seconds. C、It can replace 6G wireless communication. D、It can be placed on several different devices.
    (2)、With 6G systems, what would Li Hua experience in the following situations?
    A、If he tries to download a movie, the network will work more slowly. B、If he uses his new phone, he can charge the phone anytime, anywhere. C、If he needs help to fight cancer, his doctor in the UK can help him out. D、If he stays in a space station, he can't get news from the deep sea quickly.
    (3)、What can we know about the research team's future work?
    A、They will change the material of the chip to make it greener. B、They will try to develop high-quality chips with a smaller size. C、They will test the chip to see if it works well in different devices. D、They will study how to apply the chip to merely one certain field.
    (4)、Which one would be the best title for the passage?
    A、Lithium Niobate: Greatly Reducing Power Consumption B、A New Chinese Photonic Chip: Improving 6G Development C、Walking in the 6G Era: Chinese Remote Surgery Technology D、Chinese Technology: History of 6G Communication Technology
  • 2、Get ready for an exciting adventure with KPop Demon hunters! This animated movie (动画电影) is about Rumi, Mira and Zoey, who aren't just members of the girl group HUNTR/X but also demon (恶魔) fighters! According to Netflix, it has become their most-watched movie ever, with over 236 million viewers worldwide.

    Not only did this movie become one of the biggest surprises of the summer, but HUNTR/X's theme song Golden also started a heated discussion when it came out. Earlier this month, with this inspiring song of self-discovery, strength and unity, HUNTR/X climbed the charts from No. 81 to No. 1 on the Billboard Top 100. This marks the first time any K-pop girl group, virtual (虚拟的) or real, has achieved this, according to the Billboard. Besides, Spotify recently announced that the song had already been played over 6 million times.

    Unlike other virtual idols, HUNTR/X gained huge popularity for an existing hit movie. It includes familiar roles, like a cool leader, a lovely youngest member and a tough rapper. This makes it easier for fans to connect with the characters.

    However, their success raises important questions about the future of the music industry, and the Internet is divided. While some fans were attracted by the group's creativity and cheered for the victory, others have argued that a virtual group shouldn't be counted. Many of them have argued that it is unfair to the people who spend years training so hard with the hopes of becoming a successful artist.

    In Asia, virtual artists are common, but HUNTR/X is special as a virtual K-pop group from a movie that has been extremely popular with Western audiences. Undoubtedly, HUNTR/X's success suggests the beginning of a new chapter in pop culture—virtual groups could play an important role in global music. Whether virtual idols will become the new normal remains to be seen, but as reported by billboard, we can already see that HUNTR/X is changing what is possible in music.

    (1)、What is the name of the virtual girl group in the movie?
    A、Netflix. B、Golden. C、HUNTR/X. D、KPop Demon hunters.
    (2)、How does the writer support his idea in Paragragh 2?
    A、By telling a story. B、By listing numbers. C、By giving an example. D、By making a comparison.
    (3)、What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?
    A、It stresses the importance of HUNTR/X's success. B、It explains why HUNTR/X is popular among fans. C、It describes how virtual and real idols are created. D、It shows different ideas about HUNTR/X's success.
    (4)、What does the author think of virtual idols?
    A、Virtual idols will completely replace all real musicians. B、The new music industry is open to the Asian market only. C、Virtual idols may bring new possibilities to music industry. D、This unfair trend will not become popular and even be stopped.
  • 3、A lot of students from different countries are talking about how schools and parents connect now. Here is part of their talks.

    In my school, parent-school communication is mostly done through emails. This lets parents know what is happening at their child's school.

    To improve parent-teacher communication, Parent-Breakfasts are organized at the beginning of the school year, where parents can meet their child's head teacher and subject teachers. Parent Evenings also take place each term to let parents know their child's progress in school. There is not a parent committee (委员会) at my school but parents can be part of the Friends group. They can help prepare for school events.

    Peter from America

    At my school, parents and teachers keep in touch in many ways. One of them is the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). The PTA is a voluntary organization that brings parents and teachers together to discuss and deal with problems with school education. The PTA usually meets once or twice a term and allows parents to know their children's teachers better. Another way of communication is through parent-teacher meetings. They let parents and teachers meet face-to-face to discuss a student's progress and performance.

    Lily from China

    Communications go both ways here, allowing both the school and parents to discuss concerns or ask questions. These meetings are planned one-on-one for privacy (隐私). They serve to avoid making students or parents feel uncomfortable if the school needs to talk about certain problems, such as a student's performance. While meetings can be planned at any time, the most common are the end-of-term reports. Each term has 8-10 weeks for students to attend school. Their teachers collect the information to provide feedback to families in about 10-15 minutes. Students often attend these meetings, too.

    Jack from Australia

    (1)、What can parents do by joining the Friends group in Peter's school?
    A、Give a hand in organizing school events. B、Have breakfast with teachers and students. C、Meet the head teacher at the start of the school year. D、Discuss students' progress with teachers face-to-face.
    (2)、What can we learn about parent-teacher meetings in Jack's school?
    A、Each meeting lasts for 15 minutes. B、They are held in a group to save time. C、Students hardly attend these meetings. D、They can be held whenever it is necessary.
    (3)、In which section of a newspaper would you probably read this article?
    A、Culture. B、Education. C、Lifestyle. D、People.
  • 4、One day, Mr. Wilson met a young man in the street. He asked him, "Do you remember me?" Mr. Wilson said, "No." Then the young man told him he was his student and now he was a teacher as well. Mr. Wilson asked the young man at what time he decided to be a teacher.

    The young man then told him the following story.

    When I was a little boy, I used to be very quiet. At that time my parents were busy with their work. I had to live with my grandparents. It seemed that nobody cared much about me.

    One day, a friend of mine, Martin, came in with a nice new watch. It shone brightly in the sun, so when I saw it fall out of Martin's pocket, I picked it up and put it into my own pocket.

    Shortly later, Martin noticed that his watch was missing and immediately told you about it. You told the class that whoever took it or found it and kept it, he should return it. I didn't give it back. You closed the door and told us all to stand up and form a circle. You were going to search our pockets. However, you asked us to close our eyes because you would only look for his watch if we all had our eyes closed.

    You searched my pocket and found the watch there. You kept searching everyone's pockets and when you were done, you said, "We have the watch." You never said who took the watch to save my dignity forever. But it was the greatest shame of my life. You never said anything. You never shouted at me or took me aside to give me a lesson. I received your message clearly.

    "Do you remember this story, Mr. Wilson?" The old man answered, "Yes. I remember the situation with the missing watch but I didn't remember you because I closed my eyes, too. You know, young man, I gave knowledge and I also did what a teacher would do for students."

    (1)、How did Mr. Wilson try to get the watch back?
    A、He shouted at all the students to give them a lesson. B、He searched all students' pockets with their eyes closed. C、He asked students to search each other's pockets in a circle. D、He talked the young man into returning the watch successfully.
    (2)、What does the underlined phrase "save my dignity" mean in the story?
    A、Help me behave better. B、Teach me a valuable lesson. C、Prevent me from losing face. D、Keep me from being punished.
    (3)、Which phrase can best describe Mr. Wilson?
    A、Wise but forgetful. B、Friendly but dishonest. C、Careful and supportive. D、Loving and respectable.
    (4)、What is the writing purpose of the passage?
    A、To introduce a wise teacher's working experience. B、To describe how the teacher found out the truth wisely. C、To tell a story about how a tricky student stole a watch. D、To show how a teacher's kindness changed a student's life.

    A birthday usually comes with a party, as well as a cake, presents and wishes from friends. But beyond these, what does a birthday really1?

    One year, I spent my birthday2 in a completely new place. Calls and messages poured in as usual. However, I was3 what to do. I had nowhere to go. I didn't know anyone to share the4 with, either.

    At that moment, my mother called me, asking, "What are you5 for your birthday?"

    "I'm not sure, Mum. There's no one here. I'm so far from home..." Although my voice was so6, I could still hear it clearly in this empty, quiet room. "You don't always need a lot of people for your birthday. Just follow your heart and make this day yours." What Mum said made me less upset.

    Then I picked up a book and lost myself in it, with music on. I did as my mother had told me and7 "my own day". Unexpectedly, I experienced something new—I got connected with my inner self. It was a8 but lovely day. I realized my9 for the first time—from a preschool child who shared birthday chocolate with the class to someone who could now celebrate with myself.

    When I lay in bed that night, I remembered my mother's words, "You came into our lives this day. We are thankful for it." And indeed, that is the true meaning of birthday celebrations—the valuable gift of10 itself. From the moment we are born, every day is a new chance to learn, to love, and to enjoy the world around us.

  • 11、 阅读下面材料,从方框中所给的A、B、C、D、E五个选项中选择正确的选项(其中一项是多余选项),将其序号填入1-4小题,并回答5小题。

    Body language is how we communicate without words or sound. Some researchers think we communicate with body language between 50 and 70 percent of the time. That is a lot of nonverbal communication. Experts who study body language agree that body language can tell us what someone is thinking or feeling. 

    Facial expressions are probably the first and best clues as to what a person is feeling, even if they are saying something different. So many emotions can be shown by the face, such as happiness, anger, confusion, and surprise. And facial expressions are used around the world. 

    Your mouth alone can say a lot. Smiling is probably the best-known way you can communicate with your body. . It may mean the person is happy, but it may also express false happiness or sarcasm. If the mouth is turned down, it may mean that the person is sad or even in pain.

    If a person looks directly into your eyes while having a conversation, this might mean that the person is interested in what you said. But someone who stares at you for a long time may be threatening.

    You can use body language to better understand how someone else feels. You can also use it yourself to show how you are feeling. So if you want to show someone that you are interested in what they are saying, stand up straight, uncross those arms, and look directly into his or her eyes. That person will get the message.

    A. Eyes can say a lot too.

    B. This means they do not change much from culture to culture.

    C. Here are some interesting examples you may know.

    D. This might mean you are interested in what others said.

    E. However, a smile can mean different things.

    How does body language: help you in daily life? (No more than 15 words) 

  • 12、 阅读理解

    What is the reason for pain? Pain hurts us, but could it be good for us? Is pain in fact helpful?

    Pain is the body's way to tell us that something is wrong so that we stop what we are doing to protect the body. For example, if you break your leg, pain stops you from walking on it. If you didn't feel any pain, you would continue walking around and you could hurt your leg more. But why does it continue to hurt even after you have stopped walking on your hurt leg? It is because your body needs you to rest so as to have the energy to mend the broken bone.

    But how does pain work? We have special calls in our skin, our eyes, and inside our bodies, too. When something goes wrong, these cells send messages to the brain. The brain then makes us feel pain, so we will stop doing whatever is causing the pain. Put your hand on a hot pan, and your hand's skin cells tell your muscles and your brain. Your muscles are able to quickly move your hand away from the heat. At the same time, your brain gets the message that something is wrong and you need to care for your hand. It all happens in less than a second.

    But did you know that the brain itself cannot feel pain? In fact, when doctors cut into the brain, they do not put the person to sleep. Because the person does not feel any pain in the brain, it is thought to be much safer if the person is awake while the doctor works.

    (1)、Why is pain helpful sometimes according to the passage?
    A、It teaches us about the way our bodies move and grow. B、It reminds us to keep awake when doctors cut into the brain. C、It tells doctors about problems with the body so that they can fix them. D、It makes us stop the wrong things that we're doing to protect us.
    (2)、What would likely happen to people who can't feel pain after they fell?
    A、Their lives would be easier. B、They would become normal quickly. C、They would get hurt more. D、They would not be afraid of falling.
    (3)、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
    A、 B、 C、 D、
    (4)、What is the passage mainly about?
    A、How pain works to protect our bodies. B、How pain hurts our brains. C、How doctors work on the brain. D、How the brain moves our bodies.

    Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. "Drums!"' he answered. His parents weren't sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought Him a junior drum kit (成套装备). It was a huge step. "He didn't stop playing ever," says his dad, Everett.

    But soon Seba grew upset. He couldn't get his junior drum kit to make the sounds he heard Mr.

    Copeland making. It was a lesson for the family: good instruments were worth paying for. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons. In just a few months, his drum teacher, a famous drummer, reported that Seba was learning very quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four!

    A、No teachers could offer a higher level of training to him. B、His parents didn't want him to be professional musician. C、He was too small to teach some instruments of the drum kit. D、He had trouble finding a place which was famous for music.

    Deep-sea Danger

    Scene I: King of the ocean

    The ocean is full of amazing animals. Whales are the King of the ocean. Look!

    Huge body, strong teeth make them free in their home. They used to enjoy themselves in the deep-sea area where they found and killed other sea animals for food easily It's hard to imagine they are in danger themselves now. But that's the truth. And the criminal is the FOOD they hear and eat.

    Scene 2: Hearing the food

    Deep down in the sea, there's little light and it's too dark for the whales to see food. Instead, they hear food by using a natural process called echolocation (回声定位). First, the whales make a sound, and then they listen. They hear echoes bouncing off (从...反射回来) nearby objects. And the differences of echoes allow them to tell whether it is food or not.

    Scene 3: Making sad mistakes

    "Oh, I can hear that there's food ahead!"' But are you sure, Mr. Whale?

    "Sure! That's exactly the echo of good food. And I'll take it without doubt."

    But I'm sorry, Mr. Whale, you are cheated. That's man-made plastic rubbish which has a similar echo as your food. Without knowing what terrible things may happen, the whale takes the FOOD as usual.

    Scene 4: Dying from food

    In the dark deep sea, the whale swims here and there day after day. Plastic food is building up in the stomach, preventing real food from passing through his body. Food here and there, but the whale feels it strange that he's not hungry for days. Thinner and thinner, weaker and weaker. The whale stops moving and lies at the bottom (底部) of the dark deep sea.

    Tony turned off the TV with tears in his eyes. He looked around the room and was surprised to find that we cannot live without plastic now. He thought for a long time and decided to do something helpful.

    (1)、What do whales use echolocation for according to Scene 2?
    A、Talking with each other. B、Looking for food. C、Finding out plastic. D、Playing with sound.
    (2)、What does the underlined word FOOD in Scene 3 refer to?
    A、Small fish. B、Other sea animals. C、Nearby objects. D、Plastic rubbish.
    (3)、Which is the right order of the pictures that match each scene?

    A、a-b-c-d. B、c-d-a-b. C、b-c-d-a. D、b-d-c-a.
    (4)、What would Tony most probably do next?
    A、He would begin to throw away all the things made of plastic. B、He would tell people to deal with plastic rubbish carefully. C、He would ask people to feed whales with plastic rubbish. D、He would stop throwing plastic rubbish into his own room.
