    I'm a freshman at senior high school. Going from junior high school to senior high school is a really big challenge. The first week made me feel (confuse).

    First, I had to think carefully about which (course)I wanted to take. The school adviser helped me choose the suitable ones: maths, chemistry, world history, and Chinese. I know that Chinese is a very difficult language, but I hope to be fluent when I graduate. My adviser recommended that I register for literature because I like English and I'm good at it. I also (have) to choose extra-curricular activities. I tried to join the school football team, the coach told me that I didn't play well enough. (Obvious) ,I was unhappy, but I won't quit. I'll find a way to improve on my own so that I can make the team next year. I joined volunteer club instead. Every Wednesday, we work at a soup kitchen and hand out food to the people are homeless in the community.

    I know I'll have to study harder before and get used to being responsible for a lot more. I'm a bit worried about keeping up with the other students in my (advance) course, and it'll be quite difficult to get used to all the homework. Still, I'm happy to be here.   (study) hard isn't always fun, but I'll be well prepared for university or whatever else comes in the future.

  • 3、​​​​​​​My father, 92, lives alone in Mackay. Although active in personality, he has1 movement. We rang him yesterday to2 after the wild weather. He3 us how he had gotten his groceries (货物) and4 them to his car. Then a "young" gentleman (now that could be anywhere from 12 to 70, when you are 92) stopped, "I will5 you to put your groceries in your car."

    Dad wasn't sure at first but then said thanks. The man then unloaded (卸下) the groceries from the trolley (推车) carefully and made sure they were6 . Dad said thanks again. And the man just said: no7.

    A couple of days later, Dad was at the bank in the line. The "young" man behind him said, "I will8 your place, while we wait. There is a chair over there, go and sit down." Dad said, "Oh, why? Was I shaking or looking9?"

    "No." was the reply, "I know my Dad would find it10 to stand for so long." So11, Dad went over and sat down. When the time came for Dad, a12 of the head and a smile expressed thankfulness.

  • 4、​​​​​​​Healthy relationships with your partner and family members can improve your life and make everyone feel good about themselves. Healthy relationships take time to build and keep. The more positive effort you put into a relationship, the healthier it should be.

    People in healthy relationships love and support each other. They are there for each other in the good times and the bad times.

    They are less likely to have physical and mental ( 精神的) health problems. Healthy relationships can increase your sense of worth and belonging, give you confidence and encourage you to try new things and learn more about yourself.

    People who are in a healthy relationship talk to each other regularly and listen to each other too. Misunderstandings can happen. Making a real effort to understand what the other person is saying also helps. Double checking that you have understood correctly can avoid misunderstandings. To encourage more open communication in your relationship, you can set aside time to speak to each other, without interruptions (打断) and put yourself in the other person's shoes.

    Building healthy relationships with partners, friends and family is good for you. Keeping good relationships with others takes time and effort. No relationship is perfect, but it is important that it brings you more happiness than stress.

    A. They don't just happen though.

    B. Continuing them is also important.

    C. It is best to be clear about what you want to say.

    D. It is important that you both accept your differences.

    E. They help each other practically as well as emotionally.

    F. There are other things to consider besides having common interests.

    G. People who have healthy relationships are more likely to feel happier.

  • 5、As AI art generators(生成器) take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed problems to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.

    Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone's prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.

    AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo Da Vinci's painting. Why? Scarcity — there's only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?

    AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿)the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright violation(侵权)? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.

    Once we've answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?

    (1)、What does the underlined word "scarity" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
    A、Shortage B、Advances C、Weakness D、Significance
    (2)、How is AI art different from human art?
    A、It is the product of experience. B、It costs less money to produce. C、It combines different styles of work. D、It is not a mirror of humans' emotions.
    (3)、Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph?
    A、To prove the popularity of classic artworks. B、To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art. C、To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists. D、To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
    (4)、What can we infer from paragraph 4?
    A、AI art promotes the sale of artistic products. B、AI art makes copyright issues more complicated. C、Artists can create more works with the help of AI. D、There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
  • 6、A list of Benjamin Franklin's inventions reveals a man of many talents and interests. His natural curiosity about things and the way they work made him try to find ways to make them work better.

    Ben had poor vision and needed glasses to read. He got tired of constantly taking them off and putting them back on, so he decided to figure out how his glasses would let him see both near and far. He had two pairs of glasses cut in half and put half of each lens (镜片) in a single frame. Today, we call them bifocals (双光眼镜).

    Everyone knows the story of Ben's famous kite flight. Although he made important discoveries and advancements, Ben did not "invent" the electricity. He did, however, invent the lightning rod which protects buildings and ships from lightning.

    In colonial America, most people warmed their homes by building a fire in a fireplace even though it was dangerous and used a lot of wood. Ben figured that there had to be a better way. His invention of an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their homes less dangerously and with less wood. The furnace stove that he invented is called the Franklin Stove. Interestingly enough, Ben also established the first fire company and the first fire insurance company in order to help people live more safely.

    As a postmaster, Ben had to figure out routes for delivering the mail. He went out riding in his carriage to measure the routes and needed a way to keep track of the distance. He invented a simple odometer (里程表) and attached it to his carriage.

    Later, other famous inventors, like Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, followed in Ben's footsteps by trying to find ways to help people live better.

    (1)、How many things invented by Benjamin Franklin are mentioned in the text?
    A、3. B、4. C、5. D、6.
    (2)、What do we know about the Franklin Stove?
    A、It is made of iron and easy to carry. B、It is much safer and can save wood. C、It is much smaller than the traditional stove. D、It reaches the requirements of the fire company.
    (3)、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
    A、Franklin invented the bifocals because of his poor vision. B、Franklin invented the odometer to make his riding easier. C、Franklin first invented the electricity and then the lightning rod. D、Franklin invented the odometer when he worked in a post office.
    (4)、What characteristic did Franklin, Edison and Bell have in common?
    A、They had a strong desire to make people's life better. B、They were excellent students at school. C、They were born in the same age. D、They made people's life simple.
  • 7、Arthur Phillip High School, located in Parramatta, New South Wales (NSW), Australia, will be NSW's first public high-rise high school. When it opens, the school will be different from anything else we've got across the system.

    Students will eat lunch in courtyards overlooking city rooftops, before continuing their lessons in sound-proofed music rooms, science labs or atriums ( 中 庭 ) with eight metre-high ceilings. The specialty rooms, such as science labs, will be on the top floors. There will be large lifts, but students will be encouraged to use the stairs. There will be a gym, a play ground and play space on each floor.

    The building will be run more like an office block than a traditional school, with a plant room used for the operation of the sprinklers(洒水装置), air conditioning and elevator systems. In addition, people will be seen cleaning the windows while students are studying.

    "We're going to have to get kids used to that," said Sylvia Corish, an executive director of school performance for the NSW Department of Education. "That's going to be a unique experience."

    "This   is   a   very   different   concept,"   said   the   chief   executive   of   School   Infrastructure   NSW, Anthony Manning. "While it has been challenging at times, the end product is going to be really amazing and impressive."

    "I am very surprised and happy to see how creative this learning space will be for students in the Parramatta region for years to come," Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said.

    The Herald visited the new high school, as construction of the ambitious project enters its final phase and students at the original school across the road prepare to begin testing its state-of-the-art facilities. In the next few months, students and teachers will visit the school to help ensure a smooth transition (过渡). "It will be a matter of testing how people can move around the building," Mr Manning said.

    (1)、How's the school in appearance?
    A、It looks like an office building. B、It is like a traditional school. C、It's surrounded by green plants. D、It consists of different buildings.
    (2)、How did Sarah Mitchel feel about the new school?
    A、Amazed and impressed. B、Surprised and doubtful. C、Delighted and astonished. D、Happy and satisfied.
    (3)、Which might be a challenge?
    A、Moving the original school from across the road. B、Getting the students accustomed to the new situation. C、Providing the students with more space for studying. D、Encouraging the students to use the stairs instead of the lift.
    (4)、What's the best title for the passage?
    A、NSW's First Public High-rise High School B、A New School that Overlook City Roofs C、The Construction and System of a New School D、A Unique Experience for High School Students

    The Buffett lunch is a charity auction (拍卖) beginning in 2000, where the bidder who offers the highest bid (出价) can have a lunch with Buffett. The profits from the auction will help support the Glide Foundation, a San Francisco-based charity organization helps San Francisco's most vulnerable (脆弱的) people, including homeless.

    A Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Justin Sun Yuchen, founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent, has won the auction for this year's Buffett lunch with a $4,567,888 bid, a record high since the lunch(launch) 20 years ago.

    Billionaire investor Warren Buffett isn't a fan of investing in cryptocurrencies,(call) them "nonproductive assets", an Associated Press (AP) report said.

    But Sun said in a telephone interview, "It is very common in investment circles people change their minds. Investment opportunities are best lots of people underestimate the technology."

    As a response to the result of the auction, Buffett said in a statement(provide) by his assistant, I am delighted with the fact Justin has won the lunch and am looking forward to(meet) him and his friends."

    Warren Buffett's charity lunch has been a hot ticket in Chinese business circles, with three Chinese people(put) in winning bids during past auctions, some bidders have had capital chain problems or been put under investigation for alleged violations of securities laws and regulations in subsequent business activities, the report said.

  • 20、Parker Stewart, a sixteen-year-old student, knew last year that he wanted his independent study on the environment to have a broad impact on the community.

    In order to "reduce the carbon footprint" Stewart planned to produce enough solar energy to1 his school's science labs. Now his plan is2 to happen. The installation of 30 solar panels is3 for late November.

    As he began his research on solar4, he discovered a useful phone app. By entering an address, he could5 how much sunlight the6 receives each day.

    7 how much sunlight it receives, Stewart found that his school building was the8 location.

    Suggested by his science teacher, Debbie Wheeler, Parker first9 an energy audit (测算) of the science lab to see how much energy a10 lab uses per day.

    Then, he started his research and11 the head of his school to fund him. Now the project has grown to12 a total of 30 panels. They are13 to generate enough energy to run all four of the science labs on14.

    "It feels surreal (犹如梦幻的) to think that an idea I had stemming from my AP Environmental class would have this kind of15," said Stewart, expressing16 for Wheeler's help. Wheeler said the success of the project was17 Parker's efforts and willingness to follow through on the18 from start to finish.

    "I've had other students talk about environmental initiatives on campus, but Parker had the19 and tenacity to make it happen," she said.

    Parker said he would ultimately like to study20 engineering at Stanford University in California.
