The teenage years are usually the most stressful years in a person’s life. As teens go through great changes in body, mind and so on, they are often easy to get angry and full of strong feelings. Teens of today face more challenges than before. Technological improvements and even climate change are bringing new changes and causing more trouble for teens to deal with.
One new challenge is about new technologies and ways of working, such as AI that will change the future jobs. The challenge for a teen today is preparing for an unknown future. In the past, a teen could prepare for only one career path and be quite certain to stay in the same area of work for a long time. The situation is different today as AI continues to take away jobs that depend on humans. Teens will have to meet this challenge by developing a sense of lifelong learning, being willing to learn skills that match real needs and keeping up with technology. Finally, teens will also have to prepare for career paths of more possibilities.
In addition, as the effects of climate change become more common in recent years, many teens around the world are in fear or anger. Disasters and the rise in sea levels have destroyed homes and taken away lives. Many people have been hurt by these terrible climatic events, and even if a teen has not suffered, he or she is often worried about what may happen in the future.
To manage the great challenges of the 21st century, teens should treat challenges as chances. To keep up with technological improvements, they should continue to learn new skills. As for dealing with the climate change, they can come together to think of new ways to accept changes and help create a more sustainable（可持续的）future.

Most people have the good fortune to be raised by caring parents, who give them not only their love but also their time spent in doing various things for them. However, many who love their parents have trouble finding the time to spend with them that they know they deserve (值得). Well, here are some ideas.
●A family meal
For those who live within less than an hour’s travelling distance from their parents, a weekly get together around the dinner table is really not too much to ask. It can be at your place or theirs, or you can have other choices. Take the chance to chat about daily happenings, and repay just a little of the time they gladly spent on you. If they live really close by, you could even drop in on the way home from work at times.
●A weekly planned phone call
For those who live at a greater distance from their parents, there is no possibility of regular contact in person, but this does not mean an end to personal contact. Your parents will be glad to hear the sound of your voice, so plan to call them on the telephone at least once a week. If possible, choose a proper time when everyone is more likely to be at home. Your parents will be even happier if this could be a video call.
●E-mail, text and social networks
If your parents feel quite comfortable in the cyber world, well, spend some time with them in that location. Exchange e-mails, photos, and even Facebook friends with them. You don’t have to share every detail of your life with them, just the bits you know they will have interest in.
●Ask for your parents’ advice
Whatever problems you may be having, large or small, it’s a safe bet that your parents have been through it all before. So talk to them and ask for their advice, and if they make the way clearer for you, it might just turn out to be the best few minutes you ever spent.
●Share relaxation time
That is, plan time together doing something you both enjoy. Women preparing for a shopping trip or to take in a film could easily do the same thing together with Mum. Sometimes fathers and sons could enjoy golf or fishing together. Going out for a meal can be a time for everyone to have fun, or you can get together for a weekend once or twice a year if distance separates you.
Though most parents do not expect to play a lead role in the lives of their adult children, their years of love and gladly-given time deserve a few thoughtful minutes in return. So spend time with your parents and make them closer to you.
Find 6 for Parents
Problem ● Most people brought up by caring parents find it 7 to pay back their parents.
Ways Have dinner together ● Get together to have meals weekly 8 at your places or other places. ● Chat about what has happened in the past few days.
Make a phone call ● When regular contact in person is 9 because of the great distance, make sure your parents can hear your voice as 10 as possible. ● Choose a time 11 for both of you. This will greatly make your parents happy.
Contact 12 ● Share something interesting with your parents through e-mail, text or social networks.
Turn to your parents for advice ●Your parents can help you with different 13 of problems, because they are more experienced than you in one way or another. ● Sharing your troubles and plans is a great way to show your love.
Share your spare time ● 14 time together and do things you both enjoy.
Conclusion ● Spending time with your parents is a good way to 15 them for their devotion.

Have you ever visited Longmen Grottoes（石窟）or Yungang Grottoes Around 1, 800 years ago, Chinese artists made statues in mountains. Over the years, these statues have gone through earthquakes, floods and wars. Now in the 21st century, however, they are facing an even bigger problem: tourism. Too many tourists go to visit those grottoes every year and this certainly does harm to the grotto statues. How
Over many centuries, these grotto statues slowly corrode（侵蚀）because of the acidic content （酸性物含量）of air, water and so on. But when they are open to the public, the corrosion process speeds up.
According to a study, the carbon dioxide that visitors breathe out has made the air more acidic. Also, visitors bring in microorganisms（微生物）. Even their body heat can increase the grottoes’ temperature.
Bad behaviour can cause harm to the grotto statues as well. Too many visitors touch the grotto statues and cause their surfaces to change colour.
When we visit the grottoes, we can often see a sign saying, “No Flash!” or “No Photos!” This is because the strong light can be bad for the statues, especially those with colour. The light can easily make them lose colour.
To protect those ancient cultural treasures, recently China has asked the workers who take care of those grottoes not to allow too many visitors to come every day. And to keep a balance between protecting relies and educating the public, some grotto sites have also created their own digital（数字的）museums.
Title: Grotto Statues Are in 16
Problems The grottoes corrode 17 when they are open to the public. →The carbon dioxide that visitors breathe out, the microorganisms visitors bring in and visitors’ body heat make the grotto environment more acidic. →Tourists behave badly. ●They touch the grotto statues with their hands. ●The strong light of cameras makes the grotto statues lose colour easily.
18 →Control the 19 of daily visitors. → 20 tourists with online tours in digital museums.

How important is music When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects（反映）the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive（情感的）meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond（回应）to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more important than people generally realize.
Title: Music education is of great importance
Passage outline Detailed information
Introduction ● Shortsighted opinion: Music is only a way of entertainment, not the top choice for education. ● 21 : Music education is important and necessary for all students.

A way to 23 with each other ● We use music to 24 our feelings, discoveries, ideas, imagination and hopes with others. ● Music, 25 from science, tells us what it means to be human.
Conclusion Music education is important.

One day, when I wake up, I find myself the ruler of the world…
We would have half an hour of “keep fit” every day, away from the Internet. My theory is that almost all Internet fights would be solved if we were all forced to walk away from computers and do some exercise in fresh air. I think a lot of our anger comes from the fact that we’re just not getting enough of it.
We must be kind to animals. Once a year, we would have a day completely devoted to animals; everybody would be allowed to have the day off and just spend their time with their dog, cat or mouse. Sometimes people are too shy to say that they love animals as much as they love humans. And I guess that I am as well. I wish I could talk about that more freely. I’m always happy when I meet other people who feel the same way, and devote their lives to taking in homeless cats and dogs, and raising money for animal charities.
Everybody would have a free Michelin-starred（米其林星级）dinner. We live in a world where we hear about these places a lot. It’s considered as the pinnacle（巅峰）of experience to go and enjoy food there. But in fact, for almost 99 per cent of people in my city don’t get the chance. It’s very expensive and might be far away, so people just don’t go. They might watch it on TV, but they never witness a two-Michelin-star restaurant for themselves. Since I come to power, everybody will get a free ticket and enjoy themselves in the restaurant.
All people would speak good English. I studied English—really badly—for nine years, in a school in south-east of China, I wasn’t very hard-working, I just did it because I kind of had to. And I really feel sorry for that, because now I’m circled by business people speaking English all the time. So, when I come to power, all people would speak English well, and things will work out.

A/An 26 about Ruling the World
“Keep fit” project ●We spend 30 minutes doing sports instead of working before computers. ●All online fights would be ended and we won’t be 27 any more.

Free Michelin dinner ● 29 people have the chance to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant because of the high price and long journey. ●Everyone can enjoy a dinner without paying.
English learning ●My nine-year learning of English is a failure. I 30 later because I find it useful. ●Things will go well if we’re all good at English.

Cars powered by gasoline（汽油）were sold for many years before cars that use electricity. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to（符合标准）traditional gasoline cars
Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods（引擎盖）, though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gasoline cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance（保养）. Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical（机械的）problems.
Electric cars are energy efficient（高效的）, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car. But it costs about $1.25 to go 18 miles in a gasoline car. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.
Electric cars do not have tailpipe emissions（尾气排放）, making them more friendly to the environment, too.
While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favourable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge（充电）. Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank（油箱）.
An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option（选择）if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient（方便的）to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.
There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer It’ s up to you.
※Introduction: With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can reach the same 36 as gasoline cars. ※ 37 : Electric cars and gasoline cars look similar in their looks.
1. Having fewer parts reduces the cost of their maintenance and the 38 of having mechanical problems. 2. Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are more energy saving, making them cheaper to operate. 3. Having no tailpipe emissions, they do no harm to the environment. 4. Gas cars can cover a 39 distance on a full tank than electric cars on a full charge. 5. There are many gas stations built for gas cars while not enough charging stations are provided for people to charge their electric cars.
※Conclusion: Both gas cars and electric cars have their own advantages. Your choice depends on your 40 .

Do you find it hard to say no whenever someone comes to you for help Do you feel guilty (内疚的) when you have to tell people that you can’t help them And do you often say “yes” while your true answer is “no” If you answered yes, you may be a “people-pleaser”.
Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships. However, going too far—trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser.
To start with, it’s important to create “boundaries (边界)”in your life. Be clear about what you really like to do. You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time.
When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this How much time will it take By giving yourself a few minutes, you’ll be better able to decide.
Some people always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They place a low value on their own happiness. In this case, try positive self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to give away your time and energy to do things that don’t bring you joy.
Making a sudden and big change can be hard, but you can break huge task up into pieces. You may, for example, text to say no. Then, go straight to the person and say no. Practice this in less difficult situations first, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. Then try refusing your friends or relatives.
Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don’t take away your own happiness.
People-pleasers
Definition People who try to please others even at the cost of their own happiness. ☆People who find it hard to turn down others’ request. ☆People who feel ashamed and bad because of doing nothing helpful. ☆People who agree with others even though they think 41 .

When talking about the symbols of Chinese culture, lanterns must be one of them. There are three kinds of lanterns that are widely used in China.
Hanging lanterns
The most common type (种类) of lanterns is hanging lanterns. In cities and the countryside, you can see hanging lanterns decorating (装饰) street lights, public buildings and shops. A few lanterns will be hung outside windows, especially during festival seasons. It’s said that lanterns hung during the Chinese New Year can drive away the monsters (怪兽) “Nian” and bring good luck.

On special festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can see flying lanterns. They are flown into the sky all over China. They are beautiful to watch and are often flown outdoors. However, flying lanterns may be dangerous sometimes. For example, they may cause fires.

When the first person looked up to the sky, people’s imagination of space began. In China, there are many stories about the exploration (探索) of space.
Thousands of years ago, there was a lady named Chang’e that flew to the Moon and lived there with a rabbit. It’s just a story in myths (神话).
In the Ming Dynasty, a man named Wan Hu used a machine which was made of a chair, some fireworks and a kite as a rocket to fly to space but failed. He was considered as the first human that tried to explore space.
Our exploration of space never stopped until it became a reality in modern times. Without doubt, Chinese space technology has made great progress.
In 2003, when Shenzhou V set off successfully, Yang Liwei’s words “I am proud of our motherland” brought tears to our eyes. Carrying the flying dream of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, as the first space visitor of China, he started the Space Age for the Chinese.
In 2008, Zhai Zhigang in Shenzhou VII had the first Chinese spacewalk, “I am out of the capsule (太空舱), and I feel good,” he told the world proudly.
In the next years, China kept making its way in order to step further on exploring space. Especially in the recent years, China has sent up Shenzhou XI and Shenzhou XV. Six astronauts have been sent to space with two women included. On May 30, 2023, Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu and Gui Haichao in Shenzhou XVI were sent into space successfully.
From 2003 to 2023, Chinese people go farther and farther in space, In the near future, China will send astronauts to the Moon and explore the Moon.

Do you know about traditional Chinese art There are many different kinds of traditional Chinese art and each different part of China has its own special kinds of traditional art.
Huaguxi
Huguxi originated (起源) in Hunan Province. Some other provinces, like Hubei, Anhui, Henan, also have Huaguxi.
People could watch Huaguxi as early as the Qing Dynasty. There were only two roles in the early Huaguxi: chou and dan, and both roles were played by men. Now Huaguxi has more roles and women can play in Huaguxi.
Face-changing
Face-changing, or bian lian in Chinese, is an important part of Sichuan Opera (Chuan Ju). It started about 300 years ago. It is one of the greatest treasures in traditional Chinese culture. Performers wear colored costumes and move to quick, dramatic music. They also wear colored masks and change from one mask to another with a movement of the head, or wave of the hand.
Crosstalk
Crosstalk, or xiangsheng in Chinese, is very popular in China. Many Chinese people like crosstalk because it makes them happy. Crosstalk is like a talk show. It makes people laugh with jokes or funny questions and answers.

The Difficult Search for American Products in the US
If you go to another country, what kind of things would you buy Would you buy a camera in Japan, some beautiful clothes in France, or a watch in Switzerland No matter what you may buy, you might probably think those products were made in those countries. However, you could be wrong. Kang Jian is a 17-year-old student from Shanghai. Last year he went to visit his aunt and uncle in San Francisco. He found it interesting that so many products in the local shops were made in China. “I wanted to buy a toy car for my cousin, but even though most of the toys had American brands, they were made in China.”
Toys are not the only things made in China. “I wanted to buy a pair of basketball shoes,” he explains, “but I had to visit five or six stores before finding a pair made in America!” He realized that Americans can hardly avoid buying products made in China. “In fact,” he continues, “there are so many things made in China—footballs, handbags, pet food, mobile phones. Even American flags are made in China!” Kang Jian thinks it’s great that China is so good at making these everyday things. However, he wishes that in the future China will also get better at making high-technology products that people can buy in all parts of the world.

As we all know, plants and animals depend on water to live and grow. In fact, water is needed everywhere. Here are some cool facts about water.
Water in our body
Water isn’t just an important part of our planet. It’s an important part of our body, too. More than half of our whole body weight is water. Our body loses water whenever we sweat (流汗) or take a shower. That’s why we need to drink plenty of water every day.
Water in our life
We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Believe it or not, we probably use between about 300 and 380 kilos of water every day.
Water and weather
Water vapor (水蒸气) is the most important gas (气体) around us. It usually stays in the air for less than 2 weeks. It can become the rain which is good for plants. It can also become the snow and children love to play in it. Do you know that the biggest snowflake (雪花) fell in 1887 It was even bigger than a dinner plate (盘子). Is it surprising
From water to electricity (电)
Water can run very fast. When it rains heavily, its speed through the air may reach at 20 miles an hour. Because of this, people use moving water to make electricity. For example, people built the Baihetan Hydropower Station (白鹤滩水电站) in Sichuan.

To support the employment (就业) of disabled people in Guangzhou, Starbucks has opened its first “Silent Café” in China where almost half the staff are hearing impaired.
Fourteen out of the thirty staff members have trouble hearing, and so Starbucks has created a café that doesn’t require customers to say anything—nor the staff to hear anything. “This might be the quietest Starbucks among the over 3800 shops on the Chinese mainland,” says Leo Tsoi, Chief Operating Officer of Starbucks, China.
The newly opened “Silent Café” has a special ordering system where all food and drinks are numbered, letting customers easily write down their order and allowing them to place orders without having to say a word.
Chen Siting, a staff member shares her thoughts about the idea. “We cannot hear you but would like to share a tasty coffee with you,” says Siting. “I believe more people like me could find a career they dream about in the future,” she continues.
Like Siting, Zhu Jieying, has been working at Starbucks for about seven years, making him its first hearing-impaired coffee master. He has hopes that Starbucks could open more opportunities (机遇) for those who are disabled, and encourage them to prove themselves and to explore more possibilities in life.

Teens will have to meet this challenge by developing a sense of lifelong learning, being willing to learn skills that match real needs and keeping up with technology. Finally, teens will also have to prepare for career paths of more possibilities.
In addition, as the effects of climate change become more common in recent years, many teens around the world are in fear or anger. Disasters and the rise in sea levels have destroyed homes and taken away lives. Many people have been hurt by these terrible climatic events, and even if a teen has not suffered, he or she is often worried about what may happen in the future.
To manage the great challenges of the 21st century, teens should treat challenges as chances. To keep up with technological improvements, they should continue to learn new skills.

阅读下面短文，请根据短文内容，在文后表格中填入恰当的单词，每空一词。
Most people have the good fortune to be raised by caring parents, who give them not only their love but also their time spent in doing various things for them. However, many who love their parents have trouble finding the time to spend with them that they know they deserve (值得). Well, here are some ideas.
●A family meal
For those who live within less than an hour’s travelling distance from their parents, a weekly get together around the dinner table is really not too much to ask. It can be at your place or theirs, or you can have other choices. Take the chance to chat about daily happenings, and repay just a little of the time they gladly spent on you. If they live really close by, you could even drop in on the way home from work at times.
●A weekly planned phone call
For those who live at a greater distance from their parents, there is no possibility of regular contact in person, but this does not mean an end to personal contact. Your parents will be glad to hear the sound of your voice, so plan to call them on the telephone at least once a week. If possible, choose a proper time when everyone is more likely to be at home. Your parents will be even happier if this could be a video call.
●E-mail, text and social networks
If your parents feel quite comfortable in the cyber world, well, spend some time with them in that location. Exchange e-mails, photos, and even Facebook friends with them. You don’t have to share every detail of your life with them, just the bits you know they will have interest in.
●Ask for your parents’ advice
Whatever problems you may be having, large or small, it’s a safe bet that your parents have been through it all before. So talk to them and ask for their advice, and if they make the way clearer for you, it might just turn out to be the best few minutes you ever spent.
●Share relaxation time
That is, plan time together doing something you both enjoy. Women preparing for a shopping trip or to take in a film could easily do the same thing together with Mum. Sometimes fathers and sons could enjoy golf or fishing together. Going out for a meal can be a time for everyone to have fun, or you can get together for a weekend once or twice a year if distance separates you.
Though most parents do not expect to play a lead role in the lives of their adult children, their years of love and gladly-given time deserve a few thoughtful minutes in return. So spend time with your parents and make them closer to you.
Find 6 for Parents
Problem ● Most people brought up by caring parents find it 7 to pay back their parents.
Ways Have dinner together ● Get together to have meals weekly 8 at your places or other places. ● Chat about what has happened in the past few days.
Make a phone call ● When regular contact in person is 9 because of the great distance, make sure your parents can hear your voice as 10 as possible. ● Choose a time 11 for both of you. This will greatly make your parents happy.
Contact 12 ● Share something interesting with your parents through e-mail, text or social networks.
Turn to your parents for advice ●Your parents can help you with different 13 of problems, because they are more experienced than you in one way or another. ● Sharing your troubles and plans is a great way to show your love.
Share your spare time ● 14 time together and do things you both enjoy.
Conclusion ● Spending time with your parents is a good way to 15 them for their devotion.

8．根据“It can be at your place or theirs”可知，要么在你的地方，要么在其他的地方。either ... or ...“不是……就是……”。故填either。
9．根据“For those who live at a greater distance from their parents, there is no possibility of regular contact in person”可知，此处表示因为路途遥远，不可能经常与人联系，因此此处为impossible“不可能的”。故填impossible。
10．根据“Your parents will be glad to hear the sound of your voice, so plan to call them on the telephone at least once a week.”可知，即使不能见面，也要确保你的父母尽可能多听到你的声音，修饰动词hear，因此填much，as much as possible“尽可能多”。故填much。

Have you ever visited Longmen Grottoes（石窟）or Yungang Grottoes Around 1, 800 years ago, Chinese artists made statues in mountains. Over the years, these statues have gone through earthquakes, floods and wars. Now in the 21st century, however, they are facing an even bigger problem: tourism. Too many tourists go to visit those grottoes every year and this certainly does harm to the grotto statues. How
Over many centuries, these grotto statues slowly corrode（侵蚀）because of the acidic content （酸性物含量）of air, water and so on. But when they are open to the public, the corrosion process speeds up.
According to a study, the carbon dioxide that visitors breathe out has made the air more acidic. Also, visitors bring in microorganisms（微生物）. Even their body heat can increase the grottoes’ temperature.
Bad behaviour can cause harm to the grotto statues as well. Too many visitors touch the grotto statues and cause their surfaces to change colour.
When we visit the grottoes, we can often see a sign saying, “No Flash!” or “No Photos!” This is because the strong light can be bad for the statues, especially those with colour. The light can easily make them lose colour.
To protect those ancient cultural treasures, recently China has asked the workers who take care of those grottoes not to allow too many visitors to come every day. And to keep a balance between protecting relies and educating the public, some grotto sites have also created their own digital（数字的）museums.
Title: Grotto Statues Are in 16
Problems The grottoes corrode 17 when they are open to the public. →The carbon dioxide that visitors breathe out, the microorganisms visitors bring in and visitors’ body heat make the grotto environment more acidic. →Tourists behave badly. ●They touch the grotto statues with their hands. ●The strong light of cameras makes the grotto statues lose colour easily.
18 →Control the 19 of daily visitors. → 20 tourists with online tours in digital museums.
【答案】16．Danger
17．faster 18．Actions
19．number 20．Provide
【导语】本文介绍了龙门石窟所面临的问题以及采取的行动。
16．根据“Too many tourists go to visit those grottoes every year and this certainly does harm to the grotto statues. How ”可知每年都有太多的游客去参观这些石窟，这肯定会对石窟造像造成伤害，所以石窟雕像处于危险中，in danger符合，首字母大写。故填Danger。
17．根据“But when they are open to the public, the corrosion process speeds up.”可知石窟向公众开放时腐蚀得更快，faster“更快”，副词修饰动词，故填faster。
18．根据“To protect those ancient cultural treasures, recently China has asked the workers who take care of those grottoes not to allow too many visitors to come every day. And to keep a balance between protecting relies and educating the public, some grotto sites have also created their own digital（数字的）museums.”可知这些都是为了保护这些古老的文化瑰宝所采取的行动，此处应填名词action的复数，作为标题首字母要大写，故填Actions。
19．根据“To protect those ancient cultural treasures, recently China has asked the workers who take care of those grottoes not to allow too many visitors to come every day.”可知此处是控制日访问量，应用名词number，the number of“……的数量”，故填number。
20．根据“And to keep a balance between protecting relies and educating the public, some grotto sites have also created their own digital（数字的）museums.”可知为了游客提供数字化博物馆的在线参观服务，provide“提供”，动词，位于句首首字母大写，故填Provide。

（2023·江苏无锡·江苏省锡山高级中学实验学校校考三模）
How important is music When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects（反映）the creators’ thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive（情感的）meanings. We need every possible way to discover and respond（回应）to our world because no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
So music education is much more important than people generally realize.
Title: Music education is of great importance
Passage outline Detailed information
Introduction ● Shortsighted opinion: Music is only a way of entertainment, not the top choice for education. ● 21 : Music education is important and necessary for all students.
Main Body A way to tell who we are Music not only reflects the social environment it came from but also expresses people’s thinking and values.
A way to know the world We can’t discover and respond to our world in just one way. ● Science explains how nature 22 . ● Music explores the emotive meanings of nature.
A way to 23 with each other ● We use music to 24 our feelings, discoveries, ideas, imagination and hopes with others. ● Music, 25 from science, tells us what it means to be human.
Conclusion Music education is important.
【答案】21．Truth 22．works 23．communicate 24．share 25．different
【导语】本文介绍了音乐教育对于孩子们的重要性，音乐能告诉我们是什么样的人，提供一种不同的方法来认识世界，也是一种思维的方式。
21．根据第一段“ In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.”可知，事实上，音乐教育对所有学生来说都是必要和重要的，所以此处说的是事实，truth意为“事实”，小标题首字母大写，故填Truth。
22．根据第三段“Science explains how the sun rises and sets.”可知，科学解释了自然是如何运作的，work意为“工作，运作”，该句是一般现在时，主语是nature，谓语动词用单三形式，故填works。
23．根据第四段“Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings ‘talk’ to each other.”可知，音乐是一种思想形式，与科学一样强大，是我们人类相互“交谈”的一种方式，“交谈”也可为communicate，a way to do sth,意为“做某事的方法”，故填communicate。
24．根据第四段“Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others.”可知，我们可以用音乐与他人分享我们的感受、发现、想法、想象力和希望，share意为“分享”，又因为use sth. to do意为“用某物做某事”，故填share。
25．根据第四段“Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.”可知，音乐不同于科学，可以告诉我们作为人类意味着什么，different from意为“不同于……”，故填different。

One day, when I wake up, I find myself the ruler of the world…
We would have half an hour of “keep fit” every day, away from the Internet. My theory is that almost all Internet fights would be solved if we were all forced to walk away from computers and do some exercise in fresh air. I think a lot of our anger comes from the fact that we’re just not getting enough of it.
We must be kind to animals. Once a year, we would have a day completely devoted to animals; everybody would be allowed to have the day off and just spend their time with their dog, cat or mouse. Sometimes people are too shy to say that they love animals as much as they love humans. And I guess that I am as well. I wish I could talk about that more freely. I’m always happy when I meet other people who feel the same way, and devote their lives to taking in homeless cats and dogs, and raising money for animal charities.
Everybody would have a free Michelin-starred（米其林星级）dinner. We live in a world where we hear about these places a lot. It’s considered as the pinnacle（巅峰）of experience to go and enjoy food there. But in fact, for almost 99 per cent of people in my city don’t get the chance. It’s very expensive and might be far away, so people just don’t go. They might watch it on TV, but they never witness a two-Michelin-star restaurant for themselves. Since I come to power, everybody will get a free ticket and enjoy themselves in the restaurant.
All people would speak good English. I studied English—really badly—for nine years, in a school in south-east of China, I wasn’t very hard-working, I just did it because I kind of had to. And I really feel sorry for that, because now I’m circled by business people speaking English all the time. So, when I come to power, all people would speak English well, and things will work out.
阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的表格，每空一词。
A/An 26 about Ruling the World
“Keep fit” project ●We spend 30 minutes doing sports instead of working before computers. ●All online fights would be ended and we won’t be 27 any more.
National Animal Day ●We can have a day off to 28 for pets. ●People are too shy to speak out their love for animals. ●Being kind to animals makes me happy.
Free Michelin dinner ● 29 people have the chance to go to a Michelin-starred restaurant because of the high price and long journey. ●Everyone can enjoy a dinner without paying.
English learning ●My nine-year learning of English is a failure. I 30 later because I find it useful. ●Things will go well if we’re all good at English.
【答案】26．imagination 27．angry 28．care 29．Few 30．regret
【导语】本文主要介绍了作者想象自己成为世界的统治者之后，我们应当坚持锻炼、爱护动物、有免费的品尝米其林美食的机会和讲好英语。
26．根据第一段“One day, when I wake up, I find myself the ruler of the world …”可知，一天我醒来我发现自己是世界的统治者，本篇文章就是作者的想象，结合表格前的不定代词，可知此处应填名词单数。故填imagination。
27．根据第二段最后一句话“ I think a lot of our anger comes from the fact that we’re just not getting enough of it.”可知，这句话的主题词是anger“愤怒”，结合表格里的句子，可知横线处应填形容词。故填angry。
28．根据第三段“everybody would be allowed to have the day off and just spend their time with their dog, cat or mouse.”可知，爱护动物这个部分，每个人都应该有一天的假期，这天人们应当仅仅花费时间照顾他们的宠物，因此care for“照顾”与之对应，结合to可知，此处用动词原形。故填care。
29．根据倒数第二段“But in fact, for almost 99 per cent of people in my city don’t get the chance. ”可知，大部分人都没有这个机会，因此横线处应当是否定词，结合people可知，此处应当是修饰复数名词的不定代词，few“几乎没有”符合语境，首字母需大写。故填Few。
30．根据最后一段“And I really feel sorry for that,”可知，此处指的是我感到抱歉，因为自己没有学好英语，因此作者对于过去未做的事情感到后悔，结合表格可知，此处用一般现在时，主语是第一人称，因此动词用原形。故填regret。

Cars powered by gasoline（汽油）were sold for many years before cars that use electricity. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to（符合标准）traditional gasoline cars
Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside. They have very different parts under their hoods（引擎盖）, though. Electric cars have one main moving part: the motor. But gasoline cars have hundreds of parts, often requiring frequent maintenance（保养）. Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical（机械的）problems.
Electric cars are energy efficient（高效的）, also making them cheaper to operate. It costs about $1.00 to travel 43 miles in an electric car. But it costs about $1.25 to go 18 miles in a gasoline car. Basically, an electric car can go twice as far as a gas car for the same price.
Electric cars do not have tailpipe emissions（尾气排放）, making them more friendly to the environment, too.
While some details make electric cars seem attractive, other details aren’t as favourable. For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge（充电）. Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank（油箱）.
An electric car has to stop more often to get recharged. Therefore, a gas car would be a better option（选择）if you have far to drive. And electric cars aren’t as convenient（方便的）to power up as gas cars are. There are plenty of gas stations, but not many charging stations for electric cars. Then, once an electric car reaches a charging station, it can take up to six hours to charge.
There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’s good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer It’ s up to you.
※Introduction: With the appearance of electric cars, people wonder whether electric cars can reach the same 36 as gasoline cars. ※ 37 : Electric cars and gasoline cars look similar in their looks.
1. Having fewer parts reduces the cost of their maintenance and the 38 of having mechanical problems. 2. Compared with gasoline cars, electric cars are more energy saving, making them cheaper to operate. 3. Having no tailpipe emissions, they do no harm to the environment. 4. Gas cars can cover a 39 distance on a full tank than electric cars on a full charge. 5. There are many gas stations built for gas cars while not enough charging stations are provided for people to charge their electric cars.
※Conclusion: Both gas cars and electric cars have their own advantages. Your choice depends on your 40 .
【答案】36．standards 37．Similarity 38．possibility 39．longer 40．decision
【导语】本文主要介绍了汽油车和电动车都有各自的优势。
36．根据首段“Cars powered by gasoline were sold for many years before cars that use electricity. Car companies are now making cars that are fully powered by electricity only. How do these electric cars measure up to traditional gasoline cars ”（在使用电力的汽车之前，汽油驱动的汽车已经销售了很多年。汽车公司现在生产的汽车完全由电力驱动。这些电动汽车如何与传统的汽油汽车相媲美？）可知。引言是：随着电动汽车的出现，人们想知道电动汽车是否能达到与汽油车相同的标准。因为宾语从句“electric cars can reach the same…as gasoline cars”的主语“cars”是复数名词，空缺处应填名词复数形式standards（标准），故填standards。
37．根据第二段首句“Electric and gasoline cars look similar on the outside.”（电动汽车和汽油车外观相似。）可知，相似性：电动汽车和汽油车在外观上看起来很相似。置于句首首字母要大写，空缺处应填不可数名词Similarity“相似性”，故填Similarity。
38．根据第二段最后一句“Having fewer parts makes the electric car cheaper to maintain and less likely to have mechanical problems.”（更少的零件使电动汽车的维护成本更低，也不太可能出现机械问题。）可知，拥有更少的零件可以降低其维护成本和出现机械问题的可能性。空缺处应填名词possibility“可能性”，故填possibility。
39．根据第五段第二、三句“For example, some electric cars can travel only 60 to 120 miles on a full charge. Most gas cars can drive hundreds of miles on a full tank.”（例如，一些电动汽车充满电后只能行驶60至120英里。大多数汽油车加满油后可以行驶数百英里。）可知，与充满电的电动汽车相比，加满油的汽油车可以行驶更长的距离。结合空后比较级的标志“than”，可知空处应填形容词的比较级longer“更长的”，故填longer。
40．根据最后一段“There are certainly advantages to both electric cars and gasoline cars. It’ s good to know that there is a choice. Which one do you prefer It’ s up to you.”（电动汽车和汽油车都有优点。很高兴知道有一个选择。你更喜欢哪一个这取决于你。）可知，结论：汽油车和电动车都有各自的优势。你的选择取决于你的决定。结合空前的形容词性物主代词“your”，可知空处应填名词decision“决定”，故填decision。

Do you find it hard to say no whenever someone comes to you for help Do you feel guilty (内疚的) when you have to tell people that you can’t help them And do you often say “yes” while your true answer is “no” If you answered yes, you may be a “people-pleaser”.
Being friendly and helpful is a good thing. It helps you build lasting friendships. However, going too far—trying to please others even at the cost of your own happiness—can leave you feeling stressed. Luckily, there are some steps that you can take to stop being a people-pleaser.
To start with, it’s important to create “boundaries (边界)”in your life. Be clear about what you really like to do. You can also tell others that they can only come to you during a certain period of time.
When someone asks you for help, tell him or her that you need some time to think about it. Use this time to ask yourself: Do you really want to do this How much time will it take By giving yourself a few minutes, you’ll be better able to decide.
Some people always try to please others because they have little confidence in themselves. They place a low value on their own happiness. In this case, try positive self-talk. Remind yourself that you have dreams, too. You don’t have to give away your time and energy to do things that don’t bring you joy.
Making a sudden and big change can be hard, but you can break huge task up into pieces. You may, for example, text to say no. Then, go straight to the person and say no. Practice this in less difficult situations first, such as talking to a salesperson or ordering at a restaurant. Then try refusing your friends or relatives.
Stopping being a people-pleaser doesn’t mean you have to give up being kind and helpful. You can still do good things—but don’t take away your own happiness.
