A
Fun things to do in high school
Learn another language
Your school might be holding foreign languages classes, so this is a great way to start your language learning journey! If you want more self-paced learning, apps like Duolingo are easily accessible (可使用的) on our mobile phones. As our world becomes more interconnected, it’s always good to learn another language or two.
Aim for a semester (学期) of straight A
This can be a difficult task but not impossible to achieve, as long as you put in the right amount of work and effort. If you are struggling(挣扎)with your grades, you can host or join group studies with your classmates!
Don’t be disheartened if you are not able to get an A in a semester. What’s important is having the drive to go forward. As a famous person once said, “He who would climb a ladder must begin at the bottom.
Experience another culture
Culture and tradition are something that all humans share. No matter where we come from, we always bring our culture with us. People coming from different cultures may be among your friends or neighbors.
You can go to a museum, read a book, or try new food in your area. Remember to keep an open mind and take the time to learn about them.
Bring a shareable treat to class
If you know your way around the kitchen, you can impress your class by making and bringing them a delicious treat! Not only will this make their stomachs happy, but you’ll also bond (联系) the whole class together. Just don’t forget to check with your teacher first before bringing one.
1. What should you do if you want to learn a language at your own speed
A．Go to a museum to read books. B．Attend another language class.
C．Learn it on an app like Duolingo. D．Join group studies with your classmates.
2. What’s the key if you can’t get an A in a semester
A．Keeping an open mind. B．Asking your teachers for help.
C．Changing your study method. D．Having the drive to go forward.
3. What will probably be the result if you bring a treat to class
A．Experiencing different cultures. B．Making your teacher angry and anxious.

B
We are in the middle of another technology revolution. The digital economy will contribute 48% of GDP in China in 2035, up from 23% in 2020.
With the implementation(实施) of 5G and consumer AI, smart cities are no longer just a concept. Indeed, in a surprising silver lining to the Covid-19 pandemic, smart city apps have shown they can help China contain the spread of the virus, helping to recover the economy. Other successful examples include applications for better traffic management, flood control and crime reduction.
The number of smart street lights required in China is estimated at 13million assuming a 30% penetration rate(安装率) of all street lights in 2025. When the network of smart street lights increases further, it will also likely expand to cover more functions. In addition to basic lighting, it could include monitoring cameras, auto-police calling when the data shows abnormalities, weather information collection, WI-Fi hotspots converting telecommunication signals, e-vehicle chargers, and so on.
In order to deal with the difficulty of parking, Shenzhen has combined 5G and AI to enhance the efficiency of car park usage. For example, drivers can seamlessly book a parking space at a hospital at the same time as scheduling a doctor’s appointment. Drivers also know whether all of the parking spaces are occupied at the time of the doctor’s appointment and can choose other transportation. Besides, Robots and sensors installed in the auto-valet parking lots work together to find a space and park the car for drivers, which provide much convenience for drivers.
With more technology applications，there is bound to be disruption(扰乱) to existing activities and the labour they require. If smart cities help driverless cars to take off, the thousands of drivers of taxis or delivery drivers that find low skilled employment in China’s cities could be displaced and struggle to find alternative employment. New jobs will certainly arise from the implementation of smart city technology, but will likely require different skills and knowledge to those being displaced. The government will need to assist those whose employment is disrupted to find alternatives.；
4. The underlined expression “a surprising silver lining”in paragraph 2 most probably means.
A．an unexpected disaster that may damage smart cities.
B．a good thing that happened in the gloomy pandemic.
C．a string of silver objects related to the disease.
D．apps offering us surprising chances to improve ourselves.；
5. Smart street lights may have functions EXCEPT that.
A．they will provide power for e-vehicle cars.
B．they will offer video record if accidents happen.
C．they show us the weather forecast on the screens of pillar.
D．they can give emergency calls when they sense potential danger.；
6. What can be implied according to paragraph 4
A．The cars can be parked by themselves without any help.
B．The use of 5G and AI helps drivers choose a better way of transportation.
C．Drivers can change a booked parking space when they reach the destination.
D．Shenzhen has enough parking spaces with the development of smart city.；
7. If the writer continues this passage, what might be informed in the next paragraph
A．Examples of advanced technology contributing to development of smart cities.
B．Assistance from government to promote application of new technology.
C．Measures taken to provide alternatives of employment.
D．Factors limiting the further development of smart cities.
C
There was once a famous doctor in a university hospital in Japan who was known for being very strict with his students. When this doctor scolded his students for “slow movement of hands” or “weak concentration,“ the students easily felt down. But one student was different. All the time, this student only repeated “yes,” and seemed not to care about what was being said. Instead, the student concentrated on strengthening his talent. Later, this student became the only one to inherit the know-how of surgery from the doctor. Watanabe Junishi, a Japanese doctor and writer, praised such “wise dullness” in his new book, The Power of Insensitivity.
The message of this book is that while being sensitive is preferred in general, in everyday life being insensitive is more useful. I argues that insensitivity, or the dullness of emotions or senses, is not a shortcoming but a talent. Those who do not find any inconvenience in a strange place to sleep, those who immediately forget anything bad that has happened, and those who are not affected when scolded or criticized by others are the types of people with the talent to be insensitive.
This is not the same as being lazy. The author advises readers to concentrate their abilities inward and to maximize them rather than using up abilities outward on other people or surroundings. insulting words have expanded blood vessels (血管) and thus better circulation. People with insensitivity become less sick after eating bad food. There are also theories that argue that those with sensitive sight or hearing age earlier than others. Cancer is more likely to be cured when the patient takes things easy.
In human relationships, such as marriage or companionship, seeking perfection only increases pressure and tends to break down relationships easily. The author’s advice to avoid responding to each and every piece of criticism and to stay firm at one’s own center has already provided me with strength.；
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To show the teacher-student relationship in Japan.
B．To tell a story of a medical student.
C．To introduce the topic to be discussed.
D．To highlight the importance of concentration.；
9. Which of the following people shows “wise dullness”
A．A foreigner who finds it hard to adapt himself to a new environment.
B．An employee who often ignores criticism and is unwilling to work.
C．A traveler who is particular about everything about other countries.
D．A student who seldom considers small conflicts as a big deal.；
10. Why did Watanabe Junishi write the book The Power of Insensitivity
A．To make a fortune and earn a reputation.
B．To show focusing on the inner world can be beneficial.
C．To suggest the book as the best treatment for cancer.
D．To demonstrate the power of insensibility to maintain relationships.；
11. What’s the attitude of the writer of the text toward the power of insensitivity
A．Objective. B．Critical.
C．Approving. D．Suspicious.
二、七选五阅读
Over years, there’s one thing I’ve collected more than any other: books. They slowly piled up (堆积) around until I made a decision—to clear away some of them. 12 But with the possibility for an international move, it seemed unreasonable to keep ones that I wouldn’t be able to carry.
Then what was left were my favorites. Instead of taking over every corner in my home, my collection now includes two organized shelves. 13
I have some books set in New York. They take me back to the rush of early morning rides or of summer weekends. My San Francisco collection mainly includes Armistead Maupin’s Tales of the City. I pull them off the shelf when I feel disappointed in the place I now call home, and I let them take me to a happier view of this city. 14 When I lived there, I never found myself reading books set there. But since I moved away, they’ve become my favorites.
15 That’s what my pile of library books mainly have. I enjoy reading about places that I’d hardly want to call home, and I often try to read a novel or two ‘set in a location I’m going to. After all, the point of reading is exploration; it is a form of travel, a way to go somewhere new through written words.
The books that have earned their place on my shelf, however, are those I share a history with. 16 While you can’t always go home, a book can bring you there.
A．It was really a painful activity.
B．Then there’s my row of Miami books.
C．I still read books that are set in places I haven’t lived in, of course.
D．I didn’t mean to keep the books connected with my previous experience.
E．I never know when I’ll find myself missing a place, so I stay with the books.
F．When reading them, I’m taken back to places where I once lived and the person I was.
G．With this new organization, I could see most books are novels set in places I’ve lived.

Serious reading is time-consuming and thus makes us more 29 . If we want to finish hundreds of pages of War and Peace, we must be prepared for a long journey without taking any shortcut.
Well-designed classical novels make us more logical (合乎逻辑的). The writers put their hearts and minds into 30 plots, presenting descriptions, and expressing their values. To 31 the stories, we must make full use of our born logical competence, which might lead to reasonability.

My Most Memorable Day
Among so many special days in my life, I would like to share one of my birthdays.
That day I failed the English exam at school and arrived home sorrowfully. When I found my mom had prepared a grand dinner for my birthday celebration, a feeling of guilt came to my mind with my eyes in tears. Not knowing what happened, mom just came over and hugged me. After I poured out my frustration, mom gently comforted me，saying that it was my dedicated attempt, instead of the exam result, that valued most.
I was encouraged by mom’s words and learned that all I needed was just devotion to my work. How meaningful a lesson and what a memorable day!
