Passage 4
There are two paths(路) in life: Should and Must. We arrive at these crossroads over and over again. And each time, we get to choose.
Should is how others want us to show up in the world — what we should or shouldn't do. When we choose Should, the risk is small.
Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest self. Must is why Van Gogh painted his whole life without ever receiving public recognition(认可). Must is why Reyna Marder Gentin started to write for the first time after 23 years of being a lawyer.
Choosing Must sounds fantastic, right But Must is scary, hard, and a lot like jumping off a high building where you can't see anything down below. How can we actually choose Must
Ask yourself, "What is my Must " If you don't know the answer, write down your biggest, most impossible dreams! Don't worry! It's just the first step.
Now, think about what's actually in your way. Are they your parents Maybe they're just worried that you haven't thought it through. Try to make a practical(切实可行的) plan for what you want to do. Your parents may find it a good one. Is it money Well, the best way to make money is to do what you love because it's very likely that you will pay great attention to it. Choosing Must doesn't mean that we need to give up everything we already have. It's about changing one small thing at a time.
If you believe that you have something special inside of you, it's about time you gave Must a try — today.
1.What happens if we choose the path of "Should"
A. We don't need to take great risks.
B. We have to give up what we have.
C. We'll have a clear picture of ourselves.
2.The writer develops his idea in Paragraph 3 by________ .
A. listing numbers B. asking questions C. giving examples
3.What should we do if we choose the path of "Must"
A. Try to make a practical plan.
B. Turn to other people for help.
C. Change many things at a time.
4.The writer wrote this passage to ________.
A. take others' advice
B. be our truest self
C. communicate with parents
Passage5
Most children are taught the virtue（美德） of honesty from stories. The well-known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies，his nose grows longer. Another story is about the boy who "cries wolf". In the end，he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best policy". Still，if this is the case，then why do so many people lie？The fact is that people lie for many reasons.
One reason why people lie is to minimize（使减少到最低限度） a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time，some people do not have the courage to admit their errors（错误） because they are afraid they will be blamed. For example，students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when，in fact，they did not do the work at all.These students do not want to get into trouble or seem irresponsible，so they make up an excuse — a lie — to save face.
Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents，particularly those with young children，may teach their children to use this type of "protective" lie in certain circumstances（状况）. What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out？Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation，protective lying can mean greater safety.
People lie for many reasons，both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However，lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives behind the impulse(冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.
1. What does the underlined word "this" refer to in the passage？
A. Honesty is the best policy.
B. The well-known story of Pinocchio.
C. The story of the boy who "cries wolf".
2. How does the writer explain why people tell lies？
A. By asking questions.
B. By giving examples.
C. By showing the results.
3. What is the correct structure of the passage？（P=Paragraph）
A. B. C.
4. What's the best title for the passage？
A. The Truth Behind Lying.
B. The Types of Lies.
C. The Habit of Lying.

An Experiment Report on Growing Potato Plants
Things prepared:
1.a potato that has sprouts
2.a flower pot with soil
3.a camera to record progress
Observation:
Day One
The color of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the center of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I'll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.
Day Six
Without much change in the past five days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It's exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.
Day Eleven
Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.
Day Thirteen
Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I'm also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.
Day Fifteen
Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They're so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.
What I have learned
It's really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow. I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won't grow.
I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed in anything in life. It takes not only time, but also lots of efforts and patience.

Passage7
Paper cutting or tearing is a cultural tradition in China. For centuries, it has been passed down from one generation（一代人） to the next, especially from mothers to daughters. This beautiful art created by skillful artists is used to decorate（装饰） doors, ceilings, and beds in people's homes, or at celebrations such as birthdays and weddings. At Chinese New Year, window flowers are glued to windows, creating beautiful patterns of light and shadow.
The two main techniques（技艺） used are cutting the paper using a knife or scissors, or tearing it by hand. If the paper is cut, the edges（边缘）are very smooth. Paper cutting can produce very fine and delicate work. This type of work is typical of southern China. If the paper is torn by hand, the edges are more simple and natural. Tearing is used more in northeast China. In addition, different parts of China have their own motifs or pictures. These motifs can express many stories, ideas and emotions.
It can be hard to hold on to traditions like these because young people don't know much about traditional art. Often they prefer spending their time on newer pastimes. The experts are getting older. If young people don't learn the traditions, they won't be able to pass them down to their own children. But recently there is a change. There are more exhibitions of traditional art. Artists are going into schools to teach children how to do paper cutting. Children enjoy working together with artists and talking to them about the meaning of their art. In this way, they are becoming proud of their culture and traditions.

Passage9
Among the old lanes (巷子) of the Beijing hutongs, many were there hundreds of years ago during the Ming and Qing dynasties. They keep not only the traditional culture but also the way of life in the past. People can go shopping, eat delicious food, and watch the street life by visiting the Beijing hutongs. What's more, it's a good way to learn more about the daily life of people in Beijing.
A hutong is a lane formed by traditional courtyard compounds (筑有围墙的建筑群) on both sides. The compounds are called siheyuan, meaning "four joined-together courtyards".
The hutongs have interesting names, which tell their origin(起源), location, or history. They are in these gray lanes where kids talk and play.
One of China's most famous writers, Lao She, was born in siheyuan in the west of the city. The memories of his childhood in hutongs were so important to him that even after he had been away from Beijing for more than 20 years, he still clearly remembered them and wrote them into a novel called Four Generations Under One Roof.
Now, Beijing still has about 400,000 siheyuan for people to live in. However, most hutongs are in great danger because more and more new buildings have been built. So, we should try our best to protect hutongs, the treasure of traditional culture.

Passage 10
Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life While many Chinese people speak putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing (消失). To save them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project (中国语言资源保护工程) a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips and over 5 million videos.
▲ According to Harold Palmer, a world expert on language, dialects are a key to storing local cultures. “Language clearly shows the history and beliefs of an area,” he said.
Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns about the disappearing of dialects. “For about 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. Young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said.
So how did China make this big library “A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, an expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers.
The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital (数字化的) tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
1．The Chinese Language Resources Protection Project was started__________.
A．to create digital tools B．to store local cultures C．to save local dialects
2．Which sentence can be put in ▲
A．Why is it important to protect the dialect culture

C．What are people doing to spread the dialect culture
3．What does the underlined word “concerns” in Paragraph 4 mean

Passage 11
Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August 2022, driverless taxis have been on roads in Wuhan and Chongqing.
Why do we develop self-driving cars Self-driving cars bring us many benefits. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.
According to official statistics, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world, and more are injured. It's reported that self-driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error(错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don't make poor decisions or lose concentration(专注) like humans do.
But self-driving cars aren't perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can't react (反应) as fast as a human driver. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn't see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car's computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction.
It's clear that there is still a long way to go to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen, said China Daily.
1.What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Disabled people.
B. Self-driving cars.
C. Taxi drivers.
2.What do we know about self-driving cars
A. They cannot make good use of space.
B. They always react faster than humans.
C. They do not lose concentration like humans do.
3.We can infer(推断) that China______in self-driving technology.
A. will make greater progress
B. aided many other countries
C. is going to cut its total costs
4.The writer writes the text to______.
A. encourage more people to buy self-driving cars
B. tell people several advantages of self-driving cars
C. introduce the present situation of self-driving cars
Passage12
China's Grand Canal
Most people have heard of the Great Wall of China，but not many people outside of China know about the Grand Canal. This man-made waterway — known in China as Da Yunhe — is more than 1，700 kilometers long and some parts of it are more than 2，000 years old. It links the north of China with Hangzhou，a city in the southern part of the country. It's the longest man-made waterway in the world.
It was built as a way to transport grain（谷物） from the rich agricultural land in southern China to cities in the north. In fact，it's not one canal，but a system of canals and rivers linked together. It's still an important part of the transport system in China. Thousands of boats use it every day to transport grain and many other types of cargo.
Now the Chinese government is doing new work on the Grand Canal. It is making parts of it deeper，so bigger ships can use it. The canal will also help to move water. There is a lot of rain in the south of China，but not as much in the north. The canal will carry millions of liters of water from the south to the north.
The Grand Canal is much less famous than the Great Wall， and not very many tourists visit it. But it's possible to go on a cruise（乘船游览） along some of the oldest parts of the canal. Passengers on these cruises see beautiful parts of China that other visitors can't see.
1. From the passage，we know that the Grand Canal is ________.
A. more than two thousand years old
B. more famous than the Great Wall
C. the longest man-made waterway
2. What does the underlined word "links" most probably mean in Paragraph 1？
A. Connects. B. Compares. C. Competes.
3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A. The Grand Canal is helping to move water.
B. Why the canal was built and how it is used now.
C. The Grand Canal was used for transporting grain.
4. What's the purpose of the passage？
A. To describe how beautiful the Grand Canal is.
B. To introduce how important the Grand Canal is.
C. To explain why few people visit the Grand Canal.
Passage13
Some people are worried about the effect that social media has on the lives of young people. The following text was written by a reporter. He tried to find out whether social media has a positive or negative effect on children.
Social media websites are communities where users can share photos and talk to each other online. They are very popular — millions of people use social media every day. Although some people think social media is a positive thing, many are worried about the negative effects it can have on young people.
James, a 15-year-old student, thinks that social media has many benefits. “I get very nervous when I talk to people in real life — I find it so much easier to express myself when I use social media. Another advantage is that I hardly ever forget anyone's birthday now because I can look it up online!” Lots of users agree that social media helps young people stay connected to their friends and make new friends from around the world.
However, social media also has many problems. Social media may help young people find friends, but it also makes it easier for bullies to hurt them. Some parents believe that social media makes it harder for families to spend time together. They say their children are so crazy about social media that they ignore (忽视) the rest of their family. Many teachers think social media can distract (使某人分心) their students from schoolwork.
There is no doubt that social media has some problems, and it is very important to avoid spending too much time online. However, generally speaking, social media can be a positive thing for young people. It is a way for nervous people to make friends and for young people to stay connected.
1．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．The photos shared online.
B．The social media users.
C．The social media websites.
2．What does James think of social media

B．It distracts him from schoolwork.
C．It helps him express himself better.
3．Which is the correct structure of this text (P1=Paragraph 1)
4．Which can be the best title for the text
A．Why Is Social Media So Popular
B．Is Social Media Really a Problem
C．What Is the Future of Social Media

Passage14
In the town of Lampang in northern Thailand, there is an unusual group of musicians. They play many different kinds of music — from traditional Thai songs to music by Beethoven. Both children and adults love this group. What makes them so popular Is it their music Their looks Yes, it's both of these things, but it's also something else: they're elephants.
These musical elephants are from the Thai Elephant Conservation Center (TECC) in Lampang. The TECC protects elephants. It teaches people to understand and care for these huge, but gentle animals. And, like many zoos around the world, the TECC encourages elephants to paint.
Richard Lair works with the TECC. He knew that elephants hear better than they see. So he had an idea: if elephants are intelligent and they have good hearing, maybe they can play music.
To test his idea, Lair and his friend started the Thai Elephant Orchestra. During a performance, the elephants play a variety of instruments, including the drums and the xylophone. The animals also use their voices and trunks to make sounds.
But can elephants really make music properly "Yes," says Lair. They're very creative. Humans may encourage the animals to play instruments, but the elephants make their own songs; they don't just copy their trainers or other people. There are now CDs of the group's music, which make money for the TECC. And the music these artists create is pretty amazing.
1. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Musical Elephants
B. An Introduction to the TECC

A. In a medical newspaper.
B. In an animal magazine.
C. In a storybook.
