As Elizabeth Stone once said, “Having children is like having your heart go walking around outside of your body.” You send them off to school and hope that the world treats them kindly because when they hurt, you hurt.
Surely it’s inevitable (不可避免的) that your child will experience hurt feelings at some point. So, it’s wise to be ready for those moments.
But what truly prepares you for the moment when the child you love so much unexpectedly heals the wounds of your own inner child A mom, named Soogia, posted a video on TikTok explaining a phone call she received from a parent in her daughter’s classroom. The mom called to inform Soogia that their kids had been sharing lunch with each other.
Soogia wasn’t prepared for what came next. The classmate’s mother informed her that her son loved the food Soogia’s daughter brought to school and wanted to learn how to cook it too.
That may seem like a small thing to some, but the small gesture healed a little bit of Soogia’s inner child. Growing up as a Korean kid in California, Soogia had different experiences from her children.
“I guess I just never thought that my kids would be the generation of kids that could go to school and not just proudly eat, but share their food with other kids that were just so open and accepting to it,” Soogia said through tears. “They don’t sit there eating their food alone, feeling ashamed and wishing that their fried rice was a sandwich instead or something like that. And I know, it sounds so small and it sounds so stupid, but knowing that their experience at school is so different from mine in such a positive way is just so hopeful.”
Soogia’s tearful video tug at the heartstrings of her viewers who shared their thoughts in the comments. “These Gen Alpha babies really are a different, kinder generation. I love them so much,” someone commented.
24. What is the purpose of quoting at the beginning of the passage
A. To illustrate the hard work of being a parent.
B. To stress parents’ consistent concerns about their children.
C. To introduce the story about a child’s growth that follows.
D. To contrast the different feelings between parents and children.
25. Why did the classmate’s mother call Soogia
A. To invite her daughter to go out for lunch.
B. To invite Soogia to prepare lunch for the children together.
C. To inform Soogia of her daughter’s understanding behavior at school.
D. To express her app reciation for the lunch Soogia’s daughter brought.
26. What can we infer about Soogia’s opinion of the new generation of children
A. Open-minded and inclusive. C. Tolerant and ambitious.
B. Adventurous and open-minded D. Friendly and ambitious.
27. What does the underlined phrases “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 6 mean
A. Encourage cooperation. B. Appeal to feelings.
C. Promote good deeds. D. Provide advice.
C
Space Day of China falls on April 24 every year, during which the country celebrates its achievements and developments in space exploration. One of the most notable accomplishments is the country's manned space missions.
Ever since Yang Liwei made it to space in 2003, as many as 20 Chinese astronauts, including a civilian, have traveled to space. Alongside having to endure the physical impact of the weightless environment of space, there is also the mental impact of isolation and confinement that comes from living in a small spacecraft for months. What's more, potential emergencies during missions test astronauts' knowledge and problem-solving abilities in high-pressure environments. So it's no wonder that astronauts have to meet extremely high standards and go through a tough training program.
To make sure that Chinese astronauts complete their missions and return to Earth safely, eight types, including over 200 subjects of training, are set. Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China's manned space project, told CCTV News. Apart from physical fitness training, it also encompasses basic scientific theories，psychological health，and mock（模拟）missions. Each astronaut receives training for at least three and a half years before having the chance to go to space.
Of all the training subjects, none is more physically demanding than underwater training. It is designed to help astronauts adapt to the microgravity environment in space. According to Huang, astronauts stay underwater in suits weighing over 100 kilograms for six hours at a time: The combined challenge of water resistance and wearing a heavy suit make every move exhausting. "Nie Haisheng (one of the astronauts) once reported a two-kilogram loss in weight after one underwater training exercise," said Huang.
Since the third-generation astronaut selection process began in 2018, civilians with expertise in aeronautics have also been invited to apply, as they can contribute to space missions as payload specialists. In May 2023,Professor Gui Haichao became the first civilian to travel to space, participating in the Shenzhou XVI mission. While the physiological standards for civilian astronauts are slightly more relaxed, their expertise and scientific knowledge requirements are higher, as noted by Yang Liwei, a chief planner of China's manned space program.
28.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss
A. The historical milestones of China's space missions.
B. The physical and mental challenges astronauts face in space.
C. The equipment used by Chinese astronauts during space missions.
D. The training programs required for becoming an astronaut.
29. Why is Nie Haisheng mentioned in the fourth paragraph
A. to highlight the physical demands of underwater training.
B. to illustrate the challenges faced during space missions.
C. to explain the importance of weight management for astronauts.
D. to show the diversity of training exercises astronauts undergo.
30. How importitl is Gil Flaichao's involvement in the Shenzhou XVI mission
A. He lod the traithihg program for 'China's manned space missions.
B. He edhduoted ah oxporimyert in space as a pihof astronaut.
C. He helped improve the physiological standards for astronauts.
D. He is the first civilian astromat to empower China's space mission.
31. What is the best title of the passage
A. China's Journey to the Stars
B. The Development of Chinese Space Missions
C. Hard Training Pays Off
D. The Challenges and Victories of Chinese Astronauts
D
The robots are coming! In science fiction, this phrase often signals danger, but in reality, it's a welcome prediction. The field of robotics has made significant progress in the past year as researchers in universities and industry have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines. The same technology that powers chatbots like ChatGPT and systems like DALL-E to create images from text is now giving robots a major cognitive upgrade.
As a result, robots are becoming more capable, easier to program, and able to explain their actions. Investors are flocking to robotics startups, and even OpenAI, which had previously stepped away from robotics, is reentering the field with a new team. When AI is applied to the physical world, its potential becomes significant.
While robots can inspire fear, partly due to Hollywood's portrayal of them as uncontrollable creations, they also pose the risk of displacing decent-paying jobs in factories and warehouses. However, the latest advances in robotics offer substantial benefits. For example, new “multimodal" AI models combine language understanding and vision with data from robotic sensors, allowing robots to follow commands like" pick up the yellow fruit" by recognizing objects such as a banana. These models also enable robots to explain their reasoning, making programming and debugging simpler and reducing errors because their understanding is grounded in real-world observations.
Additionally, robots are improving in their ability to learn quickly through imitation and to generalize skills from one task to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and warehouses and into everyday environments. As labor markets in advanced economies tighten due to aging populations, the need for more automation becomes critical. More capable robots could help boost productivity, assist with household ohores, and provide care for the elderly and those in need.
Advanced economies will require more automation to maintain their standards of living. Countries like South Korea, Japan, and China, which lead in robot-to-worker ratios, are also aging rapidly. Without robots, more people may need to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, societal attitudes could shift from fearing the arrival of robots to eagerly expecting their presence.
32. Why are investors increasingly interested in robotics
A. Robotics has become more affordable.
B. The entertainment industry has supported robotics.
C. The fear of robots displacing jobs has eased.
D. Al advancements have advanced robot abilities.
33. What is a key benefit of "multimodal" AI models for robots
A. Understanding human emotions. B. Reducing production costs.
C. Improving real-world interaction. D. Competing with human workers.
34.How might societal views on robots change
A. From job loss concern to economic necessity.
B. From fear to equal partnership.
C. From viewing robots as a threat to seeing them as tools.
D. From ethical（伦理的）concerns to acceptance.
35.What's the main purpose of the passage
A. To compare robots' fictional dangers with their real benefits.
B. To explain AI's influence on robotics and future potential.
C. To examine robots' job displacement and labor market effects.
D. To predict robots' effects on daily life in the near future.

Paul,
I know that you are under great pressure. I definitely understand how you feel. And I want to offer you some advice that can be helpful.
First of all, in my opinion, it's important for you to have a positive attitude towards study and keep confident. If you have any questions, you can turn to your teacher and classmates for help. Besides, you should participate in school clubs in which you can develop your potential. Finally, you'd better go out for a walk or do some outdoor exercise so that you can keep yourselves relaxed and then concentrate on study. In this way can you avoid suffering from the pressure of study.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
