Paris, France
New changes have taken place in Paris in recent years. Paris used to be among Europe’s busiest cities. Traffic jams could be seen all the time. But now there is a new 2.5-kilometre-long car-free area inside the city. The Louvre attracts world tourists. People visit there not just for the artworks, but also enjoy the roof of the building which is like a flying carpet. The world’s most beautiful city is now even more beautiful.
Lijiang River National Park, China
Lijiang River is in Guilin. It is well-known for its clear water, limestone caves (石灰岩洞) and green hills. The hills have beautiful names depending on different shapes, such as “Elephant Trunk”. These attract many Chinese poets and artists. The best way to enjoy Lijing River is to take an 83 km boat trip from Guilin to Yangshuo in summer.
Adelaide, Australia

Adelaide has many kinds of foreign foods. British fish and chips, Italian pizza and German meat can be found in most restaurants.

Prom(高中毕业舞会)is a day you’ll never forget. It’s one of the most important events of your senior year, one you certainly don’t want to miss.
About a month before prom, I started my countdown(倒计时). It took me about a week to find my dress. I bought it secondhand, but it was the most beautiful dress I’d ever seen-not too fancy, just the look I wanted. My shoes were bought from Wal-Mart. It might not seem the best place for shoes, but they were so comfortable that I couldn’t wait to dance all night long in them. My cousin Melissa did my hair and make-up. I received so many compliments(恭维）at prom about my hair and make-up and I felt grateful to her.
I had much fun with a group of friends. We danced for four hours and I felt as if my feet were going to fall off. After that came the dessert buffet(自助餐). There were four to five tables filled with sweets. I only had a piece of chocolate cheesecake and this little cup of strawberry dessert, but both were to die for.
By the time the casino(老虎机)and magician arrived, everyone was super tired. I wanted to sleep, but I went out into the hall with friends and took pictures. At around 6:30 am, we headed into the breakfast hall for breakfast and goodbyes. Although it wasn’t the last time we would be seeing each other, it felt as if we were leaving behind so much.
Prom is going to be one of the best times in your life. Don’t think of it as a dance. Think of it as a life-changing moment. I know it was for me.
4. Paragraph 2 is mainly about the author’s_______.
A. plans for the prom B. decision to attend the prom
C. regrets at the prom D. preparations for the prom

6. What does the author think of the prom
A. It is a good chance to dance
B. It is an occasion to say goodbye
C. It is a life-changing event with fun
D. It is the most important to senior students
7. What’s the best title for this text
A. Going to prom B. Senior proms
C. Best time in your life D. Last moment of senior year
C
Honeybees fly much longer distances in the summer than in the spring and autumn to find good sources of food, a new study has found.
Researchers at Sussex University spent two years researching the “waggle (摇摆) dance” of honeybees, a form of communication by which the bees tell their nestmates where to go to get the best source of food to bring back to the hive (蜂箱).
By measuring the angle of the dance in relation to the sun and the length of time the bee waggled its body while moving in a figure of eight pattern, researchers have been able to map the distance and location where bees forage (觅食) from month to month.
With a one-second waggle equal to a foraging distance of 750 meters, the bees’ dance language revealed that the area they covered in search of food is about 22 times greater in the summer (July and August) than in spring (March) and six times greater in summer than in the autumn (October). In the summer the area they cover is 15.2 sq km, compared to 0.8 km in spring and 5.1 km in the autumn.
Honeybees will not waste valuable time and energy travelling to find food if they don’t need to, so the researchers say the results show that the summer is the most challenging season for bees to collect the nectar and pollen from flowers.
“There is a large quantity of flowers in the spring and autumn, but it is harder for them to locate good blocks of flowers in the summer because agricultural intensification means there are fewer wildflowers in the countryside for bees,” said Frances Ratnieks, author of the study.
The researchers say the results can be used to focus efforts to help bees better. “The bees are telling us where they are foraging so we can now understand how best to help them by planting more flowers for them in the summer,” said Ratnieks.
8. What is the recent research mainly about
A. Relationship between honeybees. B. Honeybees’ eating behaviour.
C. Sources of honeybee food. D. The honeybee’ dance language.
9. What makes summer the most challenging season for bees to find food
A. The high wind. B. The strong heat.
C. Lengthening days. D. Shortage of flowers.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research finding
A. Its practical application. B. Scientists with new perspectives.
C. Expectations for future studies. D. Its appeal to the public.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Honeybees use the waggle dance to communicate.
B. Honeybees fly longer distances in summer to find food.
C. Agricultural intensification reduces wildflowers for bees.
D. Researchers are helping bees by planting more flowers.
D
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational settings has been a topic of considerable debate. Supporters claim that AI can improve the way we teach and learn, while some people feel worried and argue that it may destroy the essence of education.
People in favor of AI in education believe that it can provide personalized learning experiences. By analyzing a student’s performance, AI can identify what they are good at and areas that require improvement. This allows for a tailored approach to education, ensuring that each student’s needs are met. Moreover, AI can automatically finish administrative tasks, such as grading and scheduling, which can save teachers valuable time that can be redirected towards more interactive and engaging teaching methods.
On the other hand, critics are concerned about the potential loss of human interaction that AI might bring. They argue that the educational experience is not just about acquiring knowledge but also about developing social skills and emotional intelligence. AI, in its current state, may not be equipped to provide the same level of empathy and understanding that human teachers can offer. Additionally, there are concerns about privacy and the ethical problems.
The use of AI in education also raises questions about equity. While AI has the potential to provide resources to students who might not otherwise have access to them, there is a risk that schools with more resources will be able to use AI more effectively, potentially widening the educational gap.
In conclusion, the role of AI in campus is a complex issue with no one-size-fits-all answer. It is essential to consider both the benefits and the potential traps when integrating AI into educational settings. The key is to find a balance that enhances the educational experience without compromising the human elements that are necessary parts of learning.
12. What is one benefit of AI in education mentioned in the article
A. It can replace human teachers. B. It can increase the cost of education.
C. It can limit students’ access to resources. D. It can provide personalized learning experiences.
13. What is a concern raised by critics regarding AI in education
A. AI can make education more expensive. B. AI can make students less independent.
C. AI can only be used in wealthy schools. D. AI can lead to a loss of human interaction.
14. How does the writer develop the article
A. In order of logic. B. In order of time.
C. In order of cause and effect. D. In order of problem and solution.
15. Which is the suitable title to the article
A. AI in Education: The Future of Learning
B. The Impact of AI on Educational Equity
C. Balancing AI and Human Elements in Education
D. AI and the Loss of Human Interaction in Classrooms

【答案】 How to keep a good relationship with parents
Nowadays, the relationship between parents and children arouses wide concern in the whole society.
Some students complain that they have too many rules to obey at home. In addition, they feel their parents don’t really understand them, which bothers them a lot. Meanwhile, parents think although they do everything for the sake of their children, their children take it for granted and never show gratitude.
If they want to prevent such moments from happening, the key is to have a face-to-face communication so that they can bridge the gap. On top of that, spending some quality time together, such as going camping or having a picnic, can also make their family bond stronger.
To sum up, with patience and love, it won’t be hard to keep a good relationship with parents.
