Heat packs (暖宝宝贴) are helpful to many of us in the cold winter. However, sometimes a heat pack can swell (膨胀) too much. Is it dangerous
Structure of heat packs Why do heat packs swell A heat pack contains water vapor (水蒸气). As the heat pack heats up, more water turns into vapor. If the vapor can’t get out quickly enough, the bag swells. Swelling means the heat pack is very hot. If this happens, stop using it immediately to avoid burns. Warning! Do not apply a heat pack directly to the skin or on thin clothing. Avoid using one while sleeping. Check the skin every hour during use and stop using it immediately if you experience any discomfort. How heat packs work
Iron powder When iron powder reacts (反应) with oxygen in the air, it produces heat. Activated carbon It can take in water from the air to help the iron powder react with the water. It also spreads heat evenly.
Vermiculite It is a material that helps prevent fires. When mixed with activated carbon, it spreads the iron powder evenly to keep the heat pack from getting too hot and burning the skin. Salt Salt helps iron powder react with the water.

Imagine you are in an autonomous vehicle (AV，自动驾驶车辆) and face this terrible choice: The car must either turn left and hit an 8-year-old girl, or turn right and hit many walkers. On top of this “moral dilemma (道德困境)”, if the car doesn’t turn, you could be in danger. What decision would you want the car to make
When AVs face dangerous situations, should they save people in the car first or walkers Should they put the greater good above one person’s safety These questions have been under discussion for years, but there is no perfect answer.
“A moral dilemma is a dilemma; it has no clear answer,” wrote Derek Leben, a professor at the Tepper School of Business, US, in his paper.
Iyad Radhwan, an MIT scientist studied these questions. He found out that people often think about their own safety first. “People buying these cars, they want cars that protect the passengers. But they want other people’s cars to protect walkers instead.”
AVs bring not only moral dilemmas but also problems with rules. If there is an accident, who should be responsible
In July, 2024, a self-driving taxi by Baidu hit a walker in Wuhan, Hubei, who ran a red light. Baidu worked with the police and took the walker to the hospital. In another accident in Seattle, US. in April, 2024, it was decided that the “driver” should be responsible because he was on his phone while in the full self-driving mode (模式).
The situations of different accidents caused by AVs are so complex (复杂的) that “now there are no very clear laws about it”, said Ji Xuehong, a researcher from North China University of technology.
23．How does the writer introduce the topic of moral dilemmas faced by AVs
A．By giving an example of a hard decision.
B．By explaining what moral dilemmas mean.
C．By describing how self-driving cars work.
D．By introducing the rules for self-driving cars.
24．What does Derek Leben think about the moral dilemma
A．It won’t happen in real life.
B．It is easy to make a choice.
C．There is no perfect answer.
D．Drivers should protect themselves.
25．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about
A．Real-life examples of AV accidents in China.
B．The best ways to deal with the moral dilemma.
C．Rules of driving AVs in big cities like Seattle.
D．Different situations of accidents caused by AVs.
26．What might be Ji Xuehong’s opinion in the last paragraph
A．AVs are hard to drive. B．We need better laws for AVs.
C．AVs can cause a lot of trouble. D．There will be no need for drivers soon.
①If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
②Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of being annoyed and worried.
③The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners (就餐者). Hotel guests have their meals free, so they just go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration (登记) card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
④The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
⑤With so much carelessness in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “pretty advantages (小便宜)”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.
⑥As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral (道德的) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others
27．What might happen when taking a taxi in Finland
A．Taxis can be stopped at any time on the way.
B．The cost of a Benz is higher than other taxis.
C．The driver will feel angry if unpaid on time.
D．Only Benz can be used as common taxis.

A．Finns love to take “pretty advantages”.
B．Taxi drivers can get paid after several asking.
C．Outsiders are often invited to have a free meal.
D．Finnish workers keep very honest records of their working hours.
29．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．High efforts always lead to great gains.

30．What’s the structure of this text

“I have to keep my hand from shaking,” thought Mark as he picked up the baseball card. He fixed his eyes on the early 20th-century image in shining red and then slowly turned the card over.
It was in perfect condition, showing clearly the friendly face of Honus Wagner, one of the most famous baseball players in history.
“That’s one of my favorites. My dad got that when he was a boy,” said the old man.
“How... how much ” asked Mark. He cleared his voice.
“Fifty dollars,” the man said. Then he bit (咬) his lip, wondering whether it was too much to ask, especially from a boy.

The man’s heart sank (下沉) as Mark shook his head and handed back the card.” It is worth a lot more than fifty dollars. You should take it to an antique dealer (古董商),” Mark said.
The man looked at Mark surprisingly as he added, “The last time a Honus Wagner card was sold, it made over 500,000 dollars.” Then Mark turned around and walked away, before the old man could see the tears in his eyes.

About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Water in nature is saltwater and fresh water, but only three percent of that is freshwater. A lot of organizations are saying that people are running out of usable water, but few are taking this problem seriously. Why They see water everywhere.
The average American family uses more than 1,140 liters (升) of water at home per day. However, in developing countries, nearly 900 million people do not have safe drinking water. Water shortages are, in fact, a bigger problem today than ever before. The human population has continued to grow and with it, its need for water. Global warming is making this problem more serious. Unless we all take it seriously, we will end up having to live on a blue planet without a drop of usable water.
From taking shorter showers to reusing water, there are many ways for you to save water. One more thing you can do is to reduce your use of “virtual water”. Perhaps you have never heard of the idea of “virtual water.” It means the water you use indirectly. We not just drink water and use it to clean all kinds of things; we also “use” it through the products we buy. For example, a cow needs to eat 1,300 kilograms of grain (谷物) for three years before it can produce 180 kilograms of beef. The grain requires water to grow, the cow needs to drink, and the farmer needs water to clean his farm.
It will make a big difference if you remove some meat from your diet and eat more fruit and vegetables instead. You are also saving water when you are writing on both sides of paper instead of just one. The world is running out of usable water. Every drop of it is valuable.
12．How much does salt water take up the total amount of water on the earth
A．3%. B．68%. C．71%. D．97%.
13．According to the passage, which of the following may cause the water shortages
①The growing human population.
②The proper recycling of water.
③The increasing greenhouse effect.
A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．②④
14．Among the following examples, which one belongs to “virtual water”
A．Taking a shower. B．Washing some clothes.
C．Making a cup of tea. D．Producing a kilo of beef.
15．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article
A．To improve the understanding of saving water.
B．To discuss the challenge of living on another planet.
C．To explain the reasons of protecting the environment.
D．To show the possibility of turning saltwater into fresh water.

It was the middle of winter about 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children depending on me. I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂).
As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped bandages (创可贴) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and stacking wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and blood can be seen at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.
That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. So we had to do more work than usual. Besides, the machines kept breaking down, so we had to rush to repair them again and again. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there!
When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and blood came through the bandages again I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door but instead, one appeared surprisingly, smiling at me and yelling “Daddy!” and put her little arms around my neck. I lifted my daughter up and my heart was filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My aches and pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s face and held her tightly. I knew I could continue and things would get better.

Wu Ming is a young German born after 1995. He is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has been learning Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying at Henan University of Chinese Medicine.
Wu came to Henan in 2015. After one year of learning Chinese, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Wu hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture by learning TCM.
In the early stages (阶段), Wu always tasted some Chinese herbal medicine (草药) himself, just like Shen Nong, to know about the medicine better.

In Wu’s opinion, there’s no big difference between China and western countries, “We are the same. Misunderstanding comes from being out of touch,” said Wu.

Nina is reading a book about endangered natural and cultural destinations (目的地) in the world. The writer wants the book to be a hopeful call to action. Let’s visit some of these places.
The ancient city of Venice, Italy has long been threatened (威胁) by rising sea levels. The situation is made worse by the fact that its ancient buildings are slowly sinking. When the city was founded about 1,600 years ago, the level of the Adriatic Sea was almost 2 metres lower than it is today.

Habits get created in our brains kind of like the way a groove (沟，槽) gets cut into a path.
Suppose you ride your bicycle on a path every day. The repeated pressure of your tires (轮胎) on the path wears a groove into it. In time, it’s hard not to ride in that groove. It takes effort to keep your bicycle out of the groove.
Similarly, a habit is cut into your brain. When you do something the same way repeatedly, or for the same reasons, your brain notices. “Oh, this is what we do when we’re avoiding homework We pick up the phone Got it.” You get “into the habit” of doing something.
You may even get pleasant feelings from the habit, at least at first. Your brain says, “Ah, fun and relaxation,” or, “I feel calmer. I like this!”
Finally, though, it can seem as if you just end up doing the habit without stopping. You may not know how to get the rewards (奖赏) you want without it.
________ One way is just to notice them at first. Think about what rewards they give you. Joy Activity when you’re bored What do you get out of a habit, or what does it help you avoid
Then think about whether you can get the rewards you want in other ways, without the downstairs you want. For example, instead of avoiding homework, you might deal with the challenge and feel the reward of getting it done! Notice how great it feels when you don’t have it weighing you down. Next time, remind yourself of that great feeling—of the pride you felt—when you broke your habit.
When a habit attracts you, take a deep breath. Remind yourself of your goal. Tell your brain, “You’ve got this.” Because, with effort, and maybe some help and guidance, you do! You can make your bicycle stay out of the groove. You may even decide to ride down a different path.

9．What effects do habits have on us at first
A．They quickly become uncontrollable.
B．They provide rewards like fun or relaxation.
C．They help us avoid challenging tasks at once.
D．They change the way our brain works over time.
10．Which of the following sentences can be put into “________” in Paragraph 6
A．But you can control your habits! B．Breaking habits requires no effort.
C．Habits develop without your attention. D．Habits are impossible to notice or change.
11．What’s the best title of the passage

①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window How do you feel when you hear it In fact, it is shown that birdsong can influence people’s life.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it reminds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong for six minutes can help reduce people’s stress. It’s hard to feel sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in their songs make people feel like walking in the garden. Unlike music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings, birdsong is usually seen as positive or neutral (中性的). If you live in a noisy city, birdsong can be a welcome relief from the stress caused by outside noise.
③Another benefit is that birdsong has also been found to improve focus and concentration. It can help people focus on their tasks and be more productive. That’s because when people play birdsong in the background at work, it seems that a “wall” is built to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise outside. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve productivity at work.
④Carrie Torn, a doctor in North Carolina has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep. Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long time, a conditioned response (条件反射) is developed in their brains. Therefore, birdsong becomes a signal of entering sleep, which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve their sleep quality.
⑤Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to your day!
12．According to Para. 2, birdsong may bring people ________.
A．strong feelings B．plenty of stress
C．outside noise D．a welcome relief
13．People who ________ might be interested in reading this passage.
A．like loud and electronic music B．have problems sleeping

Balancing between study and friendshipI’m Patrick McCarthy, but you can call me Pat. This is the space where I can help you with your daily life problems, one-on-one. Go ahead and ask away!
Dear Patrick, My best friend Megan always texts me a lot after school. But I really want to focus on my homework. What should I do Didi Hi Didi, First, make sure to tell your friend that homework needs to come first. Let her know that she can still text you, but that you may keep your phone silent so her texts won’t interrupt (打扰) your homework. Second, you could suggest a time that it’s OK to text—say, 7 o’clock. Before that time, you will be busy studying, but after that time you can message her back. The most important thing is that openly talking about your feelings often gives the best results. If you hide your feelings, she might misunderstand you and feel hurt. She’ll probably find your request reasonable and accept what you say. If she doesn’t, you may want to rethink your relationship with her. A good friend always respects what is important to others.

①Money can’t buy you happiness. Well, what if it could Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away.
②In an experiment in Switzerland, researchers gave each of the 50 volunteers 20 every week for four weeks. Half of the volunteers were asked to spend the money on themselves and make a note of how they spent the money. But the researchers asked the other half to spend the money on another person.
③After that, all 50 volunteers did the same task in a laboratory. They were asked to think of a person who they would like to give money to. Then they had to decide how much money, from 3 to 20, they wanted to give away. While the volunteers thought about this, the researchers studied their brain activity using an MRI machine.
④The results showed two things. First, the 25 volunteers who gave their money away during the four weeks were more generous (慷慨的) and chose to give more money away in the laboratory task. Second, those same people were much happier than the people who once spent the money on themselves.
⑤In the experiment, the volunteers were asked to give money away. But would you like to do this in your daily life Can you really make yourself happy by giving The answer is yes, but remember to start small. You can start by giving 1 to a homeless person.

A student project has discovered another power of AI: It can be good at locating (定位) where photos are taken.
The project is called Predicting Image Geolocations (or PIGEON). It’s the work of three Stanford students. They designed it in order to recognise locations on Google Street View (谷歌街景). The team showed the AI a few personal photos it had never seen before, it could tell where they were taken.
PIGEON works well because it can pick upon all the little things in photos. It can notice small differences in leaves, soil and weather. The group says the technology can be used in many ways. It could recognise roads or power lines that need fixing. It may also help researchers do surveys of invasive (入侵的) plants in an area.
However, this new power is likely to be a double-edged sword. It could be used to reveal people’s private, personal information, says Jay Stanley, an expert at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Stanley worries that companies might soon use AI to find out where you’ve traveled. Governments might check your photos to see if you’ve visited certain countries. Stalking (跟踪) is also a possible threat, he says. People have long been able to remove GPS location information from photos they post online. That may not work any more. Luckily, the Stanford students are well aware of the risks. Because of these worries, they haven’t given the public entry to their program.
Stanley thinks the use of AI for identifying locations will become even more powerful in the future. What will that mean Well, be very careful about what’s in the background in the photos you post online, he says.
8．What can PIGEON do according to the passage
A．It can tell where the photos were taken.
B．It is able to tell who took the photos.
C．It can tell which company made the power lines.
D．It is able to tell the weather when photos were taken.
9．What can we infer from the passage
A．Nobody is interested in the new project PIGEON.
B．It’s not safe enough for the public to use PIGEON.
C．Only governments can check the countries we visited.
D．The project PIGEON is widely used in many ways now.
10．What is Stanley’s advice on sending pictures online
A．Governments should help to stop using PIGEON.
B．Teachers should teach students how to use PIGEON.
C．Parents should stop their kids from sending photos online.
D．Internet users should think twice before posting photos online.
11．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Locating Is an Easy Job Now B．Posting Photos on the Internet
C．Three Famous Stanford Students D．AI Has Arrived at Your Locations
A volleyball player at the college where I worked recently stopped by my office. After making a few mistakes during weekend match, she was very sad. She told me, “I think I’m good at it, and I practice hard. How is this happening ” This student believes she should be able to control the effects of her life through her hard work. I am noticing a trouble increase in students like this athlete. They believe that when they win, they feel powerful and smart.
We often talk about young adults fighting with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there are some other facts at play here, parents sometimes falsely promise their children that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists (心理学家) think that students have used the mindset (心态) wrongly. They find that praising children’s effort will increase their performance in schools. But a 2018 research found that although praising effort over ability may benefit disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. For some of them, the big problem is that it’s not good when the wish for the achievement is over the top. Adults should help students understand what success means in healthier ways. At Smith College where I teach, students are asked to explore how challenges made them stronger or more effective. The point is not to tell our kids not to make efforts or try their best. But imagining that they can control everything is not really resilience (适应力) . We would be wise to remind them that something unexpected always happens in our lives.
12．Why is the athlete mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic. B．To make an argument.
C．To explain the fact. D．To provide an example.
13．What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A．Psychologists think effort means success.
B．Many students now need the purposes of the achievement.
C．It is difficult for parents to encourage their children to achieve success.
D．It is not wise to always encourage children to make efforts to succeed.
14．Who will benefit most from the message that effort means success
A．The students who have stress. B．The students who are from rich families.
C．The students who are less advantaged. D．The students who are especially smart.
15．What is the right attitude (态度) when facing failure according to the passage
A．Never give in to failure. B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．Failure is a natural part of learning. D．We will win as long as we try our best.

On Saturday morning, all the summer world was sweet and fresh. There was cheer in every face and a spring in every step, except Tom Sawyer.
Aunt Polly made him paint their fence (栅栏) as a punishment. It was 90 feet long and 9 feet high. He stared at the fence, and all gladness left him. He painted one board and stopped. “This will take forever,” he sighed (叹气).
He knew the boys with all kinds of toys would soon come along and make fun of him —the very thought of it burnt him like fire. At this dark and hopeless moment, an idea came to him! He went back to work quietly.
Ben Rogers came along the road. He was singing happily and carrying a big apple.
Tom went on painting—paid no attention to him. Ben stared a moment and called Tom.
No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist, then he gave his brush another gentle sweep. Ben called him again.

“I’m going to swim,” said Ben. “Do you want to come Oh, you have to work, don’t you What a pity!”
“I’m not working.” Tom answered carelessly. “Well, maybe it is working, but I like it.”
“What ” shouted Ben. “You like it ”
“Well, I don’t see why I shouldn’t,” Tom kept painting, and said. “Boys don’t get to paint a fence every day.”

Li Ziqi made a surprising comeback on Tuesday afternoon after more than three years away. She posted a new video on social media showing how she made wardrobe doors using traditional Chinese lacquerware techniques (漆器技艺), an important cultural heritage. This news quickly became a topic among netizens, as people were excited about her return and amazed by the complexity (复杂性) of lacquerware, which requires great skill and patience.
In the video, Li climbs trees around 20 meters tall to collect the sap (植物的液) herself. This process is quite dangerous both due to the height and because the sap is harmful. Lacquer sap is collected from lacquer trees by making small cuts in the bark, called “lacquer mouths”. Only tree solder than ten years are used. The sap flows slowly and is carefully collected, cleaned, and stirred before being ready for use in lacquer art. Once the sap is prepared, it cannot be applied directly to objects. As shown in her video, the lacquer must be mixed with pigments.
Creating lacquerware is a careful process. First, apply several layers of lacquer to a surface, and let each layer dry before adding the next one. Once enough layers are applied, polish the surface to make it smooth. Next, artists carve detailed designs into the lacquer with small tools, creating raised patterns. After carving, polish the piece again and wipe it to make it shiny. Li’s work is even more complex than usual. She used alcohol and ink rubbing techniques to make the patterns more detailed, which took more time and cost more money.
There are two main types of lacquer art: surface decoration and carved lacquer. Li used both in her work. Although modern techniques have appeared, traditional lacquer methods are still highly respected. With vloggers and artists like Li Ziqi, the future of lacquerware looks bright.
8．What are “lacquer mouths”
A．Small cups used to hold lacquer sap.
B．Tools used to make patterns in lacquerware.
C．Small cuts made in the bark of lacquer trees to collect sap.
D．Brushes used to apply the lacquer sap.

From lunch boxes and drinking bottles to furniture and clothes, plastic is used to make lots of everyday things. When these things are thrown away, some of them end up in the seas. The plastic takes hundreds of years to break down. Biodegradable (可生物降解的) plastics were invented to deal with this problem.
Biodegradable plastics can break down naturally, but the new problem is they can not break down completely in the sea. Instead, they break down into very small pieces called microplastics, which are often eaten by fish, birds and other animals. The microplastics are known to be harmful.
Recently, scientists have invented a new kind of plastic which could help solve this microplastic problem. It was created by researchers at the RIKEN Centre for Emergent Matter Science in Japan. Unlike other biodegradable plastics, the new plastic fully dissolves (溶解) in salty seawater. When the new plastic dissolves, it breaks up into the separate substances (物质). And then small living things in seawater can break them down completely. Studies have shown that the plastic can break down in a few hours in seawater, and in around 10 days in soil.
The new plastic has other benefits, too. It is not poisonous. When it is burned, the gas (气体) it produces won’t pollute the environment. The plastic can be made hard or shaped into different forms at temperatures above 120℃, so it could be used to make various kinds of things. Takuzo Aida, who led the research, said the new plastic is “strong and recyclable”, and can be used in lots of ways, for example, in replacing single-use plastics. Joaquin Martinez Urreaga, from Polytechnic University of Madrid, called the idea “a promising product to deal with marine pollution”.
12．What is the disadvantage of biodegradable plastics
A．They’re unable to break down naturally.
B．They used much seawater to break down.
C．It takes long time for them to break down.
D．The microplastics they produce harm animals.
13．What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 3
A．The microplastics. B．Separate substances. C．Small living things. D．Biodegradable plastics.
14．How does the passage show the benefits of the new kind of plastic
①By telling stories. ②By raising questions.
③By giving facts. ④By offering opinions.
A．①③ B．①② C．③④ D．②④
15．What is the main purpose of the passage
A．To tell the value of plastic. B．To show the products of plastic.
C．To introduce a new kind of plastic. D．To explain the problems of plastic.

For more than a month, the world has been excited about a new AI model, DeepSeek-R1. It was developed by DeepSeek, a Chinese business based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province,
The new AI came out on Jan 20. In just one week, it beat OpenAI’s ChatGPT and became the top free application in Apple’s App Store, reported Xínhua.
Its developer said that DeepSeek-R1 is as good at difficult tasks as other big models but needs less computing power. It is also the cheapest of its kind and took only about 5.57 million US dollars (40.58 million yuan) to develop. That is the way less than the hundreds of millions or even billions that US businesses have had to spend in building similar AI models.
DeepSeek-R1’s success largely came from its special training method. Traditionally, AI is trained in two ways. One is Chain-of-Thought (CoT, 思维链), where AI learns to break problems into smaller, simpler steps. The other is Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT, 监督微调), which works by showing Al lots of practice problems along with the right answers for it to find a pattern.
DeepSeek-R1, however, used Reinforcement Learning (RL, 强化学习) as the main method. Xinhua reported. In RL, AI learns by trying different things. It gets rewards for correct actions and gets punished for mistakes. For example, in a game, it gets points for picking up litter and ▲ . Over time, it works out the best solution all by itself.
This is how DeepSeek-R1 has grown to be a reasoning model, which is a new type of AI, named Microsoft engineer Vinayak mon AI models, like GPT-40, usually just give direct answers. But reasoning models are trained to both think and show the process.
12．What does the underlined word “it” refer to
A．Deepseek-R1. B．UpenA1. C．ChatGPT. D．Chain-of-Thought.
13．What are the reasons for DeepSeek-R1’s success

A．collects much information
B．solves the problem itself
C．loses ones for breaking a glass
D．uses the main method again
15．What’s the best title of the passage

SHOULD KIDS RUN BUSINESSES Running a business can be both difficult and helpful. Should kids be allowed to take on that task What do you think
VIA RYERSON, 9 PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Kids should not run businesses. They should be achieving their knowledge by focusing on school. They learn a lot of different subjects at school—more than they’ll learn from a business. The more subjects kids learn, the more things they can do when they get older. When kids aren’t busy running a business, they are more likely to join after-school clubs or sports teams. These activities can help kids build mental and physical strength. They can also teach kids how to solve problems and get on with their friends. Besides, kids who are running a business have less time to spend having fun with family and friends. Kids should just be kids.
ETHAN ZHANG, 9 MCLEAN, VIRGINIA Did you know that Warren Buffett, one of the world’s greatest businessmen, sold chewing gum and soda to his neighbors when he was a kid Running a business at a young age can teach you skills that will benefit you in the future. According to a Gallup survey published in 2017, 40% of kids in grades 5 through 12 plan to one day start a business. Giving it a try early on can help you learn and get you ready for new opportunities. Becoming a young businessman also teaches you important lessons. These include how to set and meet goals and how to manage money. Finally, running a business teaches problem-solving and other skills, which can help you do well in school.
1．Who thinks school is more important than business for kids
A．Via Ryerson. B．Ethan Zhang. C．Warren Buffett. D．Gallup.
2．Why did Ethan talk about the Gallup survey
A．To draw others’ attention. B．To introduce a new idea.
C．To explain his idea. D．To support his idea.
3．What do Via and Ethan have in common

C．They both showed examples. D．They both mentioned problem-solving skills.
Today, we are talking about money. I can share a bit about my history with money and my new view when it comes to using green paper.
I made a web page with links to posts about our financial (财政的) journey where you can look for more details of where we’ve been and how we got where we are now. It was a big part of my story in the past and was a huge part of our downsizing (精简) journey. We got out of debt and stayed out of debt.
So I feel eager (渴望的) to share the benefits of being on this side. It takes more planning and more careful thought whenever a dollar is spent now than it did when I had a wallet full of credit cards. I now like to think all of my dollars doing the job. So many of us work for money and don’t consider that money should work for us, too. Make your dollars do the job of helping you live the life you want.
Each time money is spent or saved, it should be going toward something that you purposefully want for your life. Last week I was out and I spent $ 20 on food in 3 days. It made me angry because afterward I thought about eating is not at all what I want for my life.
On the other hand, there are times I spend $ 20 while out with my family and it doesn’t bother (使烦恼) me one bit. An afternoon out with my kids during which we stop for ice cream, and do something fun together has a completely different feel.
In the end, I want the dollars I spend to have purpose like I can enjoy life while still planning and saving for the future.
4．The underlined words “green paper” in Paragraph 1 refer to “________”.
A．money B．work C．newspaper D．book
5．You can learn about the writer’s history with money ________.

You must have heard of “city bu city” (meaning city or not city), an Internet buzzword (流行语) created by foreign blogger Baobaoxiong. It’s used to ask if a place feels like a big, fashionable city.
Millions of foreigners like Baobaoxiong are visiting China and posting their travel videos. The visa-free transit policy (免签政策) plays an important role in this trend (潮流). Travelers from 54 countries can stay in China for up to six days without a visa as long as they have a travel document (文件) and a connecting ticket (联运机票) to leave.
The visa-free transit policy started in 2013. Back then, it allowed travelers to stay for 72 hours in seven different big cities in China. Now, travelers can stay for 144 hours in 41 places across 19 provincial areas. It has attracted more travelers to China. In the first three months of this year, 266 percent more foreigners came to China through visa-free policies compared with the same period last year, according to the National Immigration Administration of China (国家移民管理局).
▲ Through this policy, more and more people get to see the real China.
“This is the whole reason why we decided to come to China—we wanted to see exactly what it’s like for ourselves,” said Irish YouTuber Luke in his online video. He thought Chengdu was “unbelievably good, beautiful and modern”, totally different from what he had heard about China from Western media.
Yuyuantantian, a new media account (账号) under China Media Group, looked at 100 China travel videos made by foreigners. It found foreigners used to visit famous spots中小学教育资源及组卷应用平台

初中名校发展共同体中考一模英语试题
Heat packs (暖宝宝贴) are helpful to many of us in the cold winter. However, sometimes a heat pack can swell (膨胀) too much. Is it dangerous
Structure of heat packs Why do heat packs swell A heat pack contains water vapor (水蒸气). As the heat pack heats up, more water turns into vapor. If the vapor can’t get out quickly enough, the bag swells. Swelling means the heat pack is very hot. If this happens, stop using it immediately to avoid burns. Warning! Do not apply a heat pack directly to the skin or on thin clothing. Avoid using one while sleeping. Check the skin every hour during use and stop using it immediately if you experience any discomfort. How heat packs work
Iron powder When iron powder reacts (反应) with oxygen in the air, it produces heat. Activated carbon It can take in water from the air to help the iron powder react with the water. It also spreads heat evenly.
Vermiculite It is a material that helps prevent fires. When mixed with activated carbon, it spreads the iron powder evenly to keep the heat pack from getting too hot and burning the skin. Salt Salt helps iron powder react with the water.
16．What should you do if you find your heat pack swells too much
A．Stop using it right now. B．Check the skin every hour.
C．Continue letting out hot water. D．Put it on thin clothing.
17．Which components help produce heat

Imagine you are in an autonomous vehicle (AV，自动驾驶车辆) and face this terrible choice: The car must either turn left and hit an 8-year-old girl, or turn right and hit many walkers. On top of this “moral dilemma (道德困境)”, if the car doesn’t turn, you could be in danger. What decision would you want the car to make
When AVs face dangerous situations, should they save people in the car first or walkers Should they put the greater good above one person’s safety These questions have been under discussion for years, but there is no perfect answer.
“A moral dilemma is a dilemma; it has no clear answer,” wrote Derek Leben, a professor at the Tepper School of Business, US, in his paper.
Iyad Radhwan, an MIT scientist studied these questions. He found out that people often think about their own safety first. “People buying these cars, they want cars that protect the passengers. But they want other people’s cars to protect walkers instead.”
AVs bring not only moral dilemmas but also problems with rules. If there is an accident, who should be responsible
In July, 2024, a self-driving taxi by Baidu hit a walker in Wuhan, Hubei, who ran a red light. Baidu worked with the police and took the walker to the hospital. In another accident in Seattle, US. in April, 2024, it was decided that the “driver” should be responsible because he was on his phone while in the full self-driving mode (模式).
The situations of different accidents caused by AVs are so complex (复杂的) that “now there are no very clear laws about it”, said Ji Xuehong, a researcher from North China University of technology.
23．How does the writer introduce the topic of moral dilemmas faced by AVs
A．By giving an example of a hard decision.
B．By explaining what moral dilemmas mean.
C．By describing how self-driving cars work.
D．By introducing the rules for self-driving cars.
24．What does Derek Leben think about the moral dilemma
A．It won’t happen in real life.
B．It is easy to make a choice.
C．There is no perfect answer.
D．Drivers should protect themselves.
25．What is Paragraph 6 mainly about
A．Real-life examples of AV accidents in China.
B．The best ways to deal with the moral dilemma.
C．Rules of driving AVs in big cities like Seattle.
D．Different situations of accidents caused by AVs.
26．What might be Ji Xuehong’s opinion in the last paragraph
A．AVs are hard to drive. B．We need better laws for AVs.
C．AVs can cause a lot of trouble. D．There will be no need for drivers soon.
【答案】23．A 24．C 25．D 26．B
【导语】本文主要围绕自动驾驶车辆展开讨论，指出其面临的道德困境。
23．细节理解题。根据“Imagine you are in an autonomous vehicle ... What decision would you want the car to make ”可知，作者描述了一个自动驾驶车辆面临艰难抉择的场景，通过这个例子引出了自动驾驶车辆面临的道德困境这一话题。故选A。
24．细节理解题。根据“‘A moral dilemma is a dilemma; it has no clear answer,’ wrote Derek Leben, ...”可知，Derek Leben认为道德困境没有完美答案。故选C。

26．推理判断题。根据“The situations of different accidents caused by AVs are so complex (复杂的) that ‘now there are no very clear laws about it’, said Ji Xuehong, ...”可知，Ji Xuehong认为自动驾驶车辆引发的事故情况复杂，目前没有明确法律，由此可推断她认为我们需要更好的相关法律。故选B。
①If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
②Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of being annoyed and worried.
③The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners (就餐者). Hotel guests have their meals free, so they just go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration (登记) card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.
④The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.
⑤With so much carelessness in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “pretty advantages (小便宜)”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in.
⑥As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral (道德的) practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others
27．What might happen when taking a taxi in Finland
A．Taxis can be stopped at any time on the way.
B．The cost of a Benz is higher than other taxis.
C．The driver will feel angry if unpaid on time.
D．Only Benz can be used as common taxis.
28．Which of the following is true according to this text
A．Finns love to take “pretty advantages”.
B．Taxi drivers can get paid after several asking.
C．Outsiders are often invited to have a free meal.
D．Finnish workers keep very honest records of their working hours.
29．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．High efforts always lead to great gains.
C．Honesty is a good rule of society.
D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
30．What’s the structure of this text
A． B． C． D．
【答案】27．A 28．D 29．C 30．C
【导语】本文作者从出租车司机对乘客的信任，餐厅服务员对顾客的信任以及公司老板对工人的信任这几方面，表扬了芬兰人民的优秀品质。
27．细节理解题。根据“You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of being annoyed and worried.”可知，在芬兰乘坐出租车时，出租车可以在途中随时停车。故选A。
28．推理判断题。根据“They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the pay. From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.”可知，芬兰工人非常诚实地遵循他们的工作时间。故选D。
29．推理判断题。根据“As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they, do living in such a society has turned everyone into a real ‘gentleman’.”可知，芬兰社会有着很高的道德水平，诚实是社会的良好准则。故选C。
30．篇章结构题。文章第①段点明芬兰人的“傻”，第②③④段以出租车司机、餐厅服务员、工人为例论证了这一点，第⑤段对上面的例子进一步说明，这种“傻”带来了人与人之间的信任，第⑥段作者总结出芬兰人的“傻”实际上是一种优秀的品质，文章结构为①/②③④/⑤/⑥。故选C。

“I have to keep my hand from shaking,” thought Mark as he picked up the baseball card. He fixed his eyes on the early 20th-century image in shining red and then slowly turned the card over.
It was in perfect condition, showing clearly the friendly face of Honus Wagner, one of the most famous baseball players in history.
“That’s one of my favorites. My dad got that when he was a boy,” said the old man.
“How... how much ” asked Mark. He cleared his voice.
“Fifty dollars,” the man said. Then he bit (咬) his lip, wondering whether it was too much to ask, especially from a boy.
Mark knew that the old man did not realize what a treasure he had. Looking at the man’s face, Mark thought, “I’ve never seen him at one of these second-hand markets so far. I’m sure he is here because he needs some money, not because he knows much about baseball cards. Should I make the trade ”
The man’s heart sank (下沉) as Mark shook his head and handed back the card.” It is worth a lot more than fifty dollars. You should take it to an antique dealer (古董商),” Mark said.
The man looked at Mark surprisingly as he added, “The last time a Honus Wagner card was sold, it made over 500,000 dollars.” Then Mark turned around and walked away, before the old man could see the tears in his eyes.

About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Water in nature is saltwater and fresh water, but only three percent of that is freshwater. A lot of organizations are saying that people are running out of usable water, but few are taking this problem seriously. Why They see water everywhere.
The average American family uses more than 1,140 liters (升) of water at home per day. However, in developing countries, nearly 900 million people do not have safe drinking water. Water shortages are, in fact, a bigger problem today than ever before. The human population has continued to grow and with it, its need for water. Global warming is making this problem more serious. Unless we all take it seriously, we will end up having to live on a blue planet without a drop of usable water.
From taking shorter showers to reusing water, there are many ways for you to save water. One more thing you can do is to reduce your use of “virtual water”. Perhaps you have never heard of the idea of “virtual water.” It means the water you use indirectly. We not just drink water and use it to clean all kinds of things; we also “use” it through the products we buy. For example, a cow needs to eat 1,300 kilograms of grain (谷物) for three years before it can produce 180 kilograms of beef. The grain requires water to grow, the cow needs to drink, and the farmer needs water to clean his farm.
It will make a big difference if you remove some meat from your diet and eat more fruit and vegetables instead. You are also saving water when you are writing on both sides of paper instead of just one. The world is running out of usable water. Every drop of it is valuable.
12．How much does salt water take up the total amount of water on the earth
A．3%. B．68%. C．71%. D．97%.
13．According to the passage, which of the following may cause the water shortages
①The growing human population.
②The proper recycling of water.
③The increasing greenhouse effect.
A．①② B．①③ C．②③ D．②④
14．Among the following examples, which one belongs to “virtual water”
A．Taking a shower. B．Washing some clothes.
C．Making a cup of tea. D．Producing a kilo of beef.
15．What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article
A．To improve the understanding of saving water.
B．To discuss the challenge of living on another planet.
C．To explain the reasons of protecting the environment.
D．To show the possibility of turning saltwater into fresh water.
【答案】12．D 13．B 14．D 15．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了地球上水资源的分布、人类对水资源的消耗以及如何节约用水的问题。文章还引入了“虚拟水”的概念，强调了节约水资源的重要性。
12．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“About 71 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. Water in nature is saltwater and fresh water, but only three percent of that is freshwater.”可知，地球上71%的面积被水覆盖，其中只有3%是淡水，因此盐水的比例为100%—3%=97%。故选D。
13．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The human population has continued to grow and with it, its need for water. Global warming is making this problem more serious.”可知，人口增长和全球变暖是导致水资源短缺的原因。选项①“人口增长”和选项③“温室效应增加”符合文章内容。故选B。
14．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“For example, a cow needs to eat 1,300 kilograms of grain (谷物) for three years before it can produce 180 kilograms of beef. The grain requires water to grow, the cow needs to drink, and the farmer needs water to clean his farm.”可知，生产牛肉需要消耗大量的水，这种间接消耗的水被称为“虚拟水”。故选D。
15．主旨大意题。根据文章整体内容，作者通过介绍水资源的分布、人类对水的消耗以及节约用水的方法，旨在提高人们对节约水资源的认识。故选A。

It was the middle of winter about 30 years ago. I was a young father with three little children depending on me. I worked in a sawmill (锯木厂).
As I got ready to go to work, I wrapped bandages (创可贴) around my fingers and put more in my pockets. Cutting and stacking wood for eight hours a day had caused my fingers to split (裂开) and blood can be seen at their tips in the cold, dry winter air.
That day at work was harder than normal. We were short-handed on workers. So we had to do more work than usual. Besides, the machines kept breaking down, so we had to rush to repair them again and again. On top of that, all the heaters in the building had stopped working and we could see our breath as we spent hours working there!
When the work day finally ended, I walked wearily toward the washroom, took off my work gloves, and checked my aching fingers. The splits were worse than ever and blood came through the bandages again I felt so tired. I wondered how long I could keep doing this, if things would ever get any better, and why life was so hard.
After driving home, I tried to put a smile on my face as I opened the front door but instead, one appeared surprisingly, smiling at me and yelling “Daddy!” and put her little arms around my neck. I lifted my daughter up and my heart was filled with love. My tired body didn’t feel so tired anymore. My aches and pains disappeared into her hug. And the joy in my heart chased the sadness away. At that moment I kissed my little girl’s face and held her tightly. I knew I could continue and things would get better.

Wu Ming is a young German born after 1995. He is a big fan of Chinese culture. He has been learning Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) since 2016. Now he is studying at Henan University of Chinese Medicine.
Wu came to Henan in 2015. After one year of learning Chinese, he started to learn Chinese medicine. Wu hopes to solve problems and understand Chinese culture by learning TCM.
In the early stages (阶段), Wu always tasted some Chinese herbal medicine (草药) himself, just like Shen Nong, to know about the medicine better. He also did well in the language by learning and practicing Chinese. In his free time, Wu likes to read ancient Chinese medical books, such as Huangdi Neijing. He believes different kinds of traditional Chinese culture have an influence on each other.
Studying TCM also changed Wu’s mind and lifestyle. He used to stay up late. But now, he lives a balanced (平衡的) and peaceful life, practicing good habits such as drinking tea as well as reading ancient books.
Wu also makes use of what he has learned to help his family. He always provides his family members with some advice about staying fit after he checks their tongues (舌头) online. Over time, his family gradually began to understand his love about TCM.
In Wu’s opinion, there’s no big difference between China and western countries, “We are the same. Misunderstanding comes from being out of touch,” said Wu. He plans to run a small traditional Chinese hospital in China or Germany after graduation, which could serve as a bridge between the two countries and spread TCM and its culture.

Habits get created in our brains kind of like the way a groove (沟，槽) gets cut into a path.
Suppose you ride your bicycle on a path every day. The repeated pressure of your tires (轮胎) on the path wears a groove into it. In time, it’s hard not to ride in that groove. It takes effort to keep your bicycle out of the groove.
Similarly, a habit is cut into your brain. When you do something the same way repeatedly, or for the same reasons, your brain notices. “Oh, this is what we do when we’re avoiding homework We pick up the phone Got it.” You get “into the habit” of doing something.
You may even get pleasant feelings from the habit, at least at first. Your brain says, “Ah, fun and relaxation,” or, “I feel calmer. I like this!”
Finally, though, it can seem as if you just end up doing the habit without stopping. You may not know how to get the rewards (奖赏) you want without it.
________ One way is just to notice them at first. Think about what rewards they give you. Joy Activity when you’re bored What do you get out of a habit, or what does it help you avoid
Then think about whether you can get the rewards you want in other ways, without the downstairs you want. For example, instead of avoiding homework, you might deal with the challenge and feel the reward of getting it done! Notice how great it feels when you don’t have it weighing you down. Next time, remind yourself of that great feeling—of the pride you felt—when you broke your habit.
When a habit attracts you, take a deep breath. Remind yourself of your goal. Tell your brain, “You’ve got this.” Because, with effort, and maybe some help and guidance, you do! You can make your bicycle stay out of the groove. You may even decide to ride down a different path.

①Do you often hear birdsong outside the window How do you feel when you hear it In fact, it is shown that birdsong can influence people’s life.
②Birdsong sounds especially nice in winter because it reminds people of spring. A study found that listening to birdsong for six minutes can help reduce people’s stress. It’s hard to feel sad when you hear birds singing or talking, as the energy in their songs make people feel like walking in the garden. Unlike music, which can sometimes make you produce strong feelings, birdsong is usually seen as positive or neutral (中性的). If you live in a noisy city, birdsong can be a welcome relief from the stress caused by outside noise.
③Another benefit is that birdsong has also been found to improve focus and concentration. It can help people focus on their tasks and be more productive. That’s because when people play birdsong in the background at work, it seems that a “wall” is built to help them stay away from the unpleasant noise outside. In this way, birdsong can be a powerful tool to improve productivity at work.
④Carrie Torn, a doctor in North Carolina has also found that birdsong makes it easier to help people enter a deep sleep. Birdsong, as a kind of white noise, can slow down people’s heartbeats and breath. After listening to birdsong for a long time, a conditioned response (条件反射) is developed in their brains. Therefore, birdsong becomes a signal of entering sleep, which helps them fall asleep faster than before and improve their sleep quality.
⑤Birdsong, a gift from nature, connects people with calmer, more natural settings and makes people feel happier and healthier. So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to your day!
12．According to Para. 2, birdsong may bring people ________.
A．strong feelings B．plenty of stress
C．outside noise D．a welcome relief
13．People who ________ might be interested in reading this passage.
A．like loud and electronic music B．have problems sleeping
C．can focus on tasks easily D．live in the countryside
14．How is the above passage organized
A． B．
C． D．
15．We can infer from the passage that the writer is ________ towards birdsong.
A．supportive B．doubtful
C．neutral D．humorous
【答案】12．D 13．B 14．C 15．A

15．观点态度题。根据最后一段“So, next time you hear a bird singing, take a moment to enjoy its beautiful melody and let it bring a little joy to your day!”可知，作者鼓励读者在听到鸟鸣时，停下来享受它带来的美好旋律，给自己带来一天的快乐。因此，作者对于鸟鸣持支持的态度。故选A。

What should I do Didi Hi Didi, First, make sure to tell your friend that homework needs to come first.

Second, you could suggest a time that it’s OK to text—say, 7 o’clock. Before that time, you will be busy studying, but after that time you can message her back. The most important thing is that openly talking about your feelings often gives the best results. If you hide your feelings, she might misunderstand you and feel hurt.

①Money can’t buy you happiness. Well, what if it could Not by making it or spending it, but by giving it away.
②In an experiment in Switzerland, researchers gave each of the 50 volunteers 20 every week for four weeks. Half of the volunteers were asked to spend the money on themselves and make a note of how they spent the money. But the researchers asked the other half to spend the money on another person.

A student project has discovered another power of AI: It can be good at locating (定位) where photos are taken.
The project is called Predicting Image Geolocations (or PIGEON). It’s the work of three Stanford students. They designed it in order to recognise locations on Google Street View (谷歌街景). The team showed the AI a few personal photos it had never seen before, it could tell where they were taken.
PIGEON works well because it can pick upon all the little things in photos. It can notice small differences in leaves, soil and weather. The group says the technology can be used in many ways. It could recognise roads or power lines that need fixing. It may also help researchers do surveys of invasive (入侵的) plants in an area.
However, this new power is likely to be a double-edged sword. It could be used to reveal people’s private, personal information, says Jay Stanley, an expert at the American Civil Liberties Union.
Stanley worries that companies might soon use AI to find out where you’ve traveled. Governments might check your photos to see if you’ve visited certain countries. Stalking (跟踪) is also a possible threat, he says. People have long been able to remove GPS location information from photos they post online. That may not work any more. Luckily, the Stanford students are well aware of the risks. Because of these worries, they haven’t given the public entry to their program.
Stanley thinks the use of AI for identifying locations will become even more powerful in the future. What will that mean Well, be very careful about what’s in the background in the photos you post online, he says.
8．What can PIGEON do according to the passage
A．It can tell where the photos were taken.
B．It is able to tell who took the photos.
C．It can tell which company made the power lines.
D．It is able to tell the weather when photos were taken.
9．What can we infer from the passage
A．Nobody is interested in the new project PIGEON.
B．It’s not safe enough for the public to use PIGEON.
C．Only governments can check the countries we visited.
D．The project PIGEON is widely used in many ways now.
10．What is Stanley’s advice on sending pictures online
A．Governments should help to stop using PIGEON.
B．Teachers should teach students how to use PIGEON.
C．Parents should stop their kids from sending photos online.
D．Internet users should think twice before posting photos online.
11．What’s the best title for the passage
A．Locating Is an Easy Job Now B．Posting Photos on the Internet
C．Three Famous Stanford Students D．AI Has Arrived at Your Locations
【答案】8．A 9．B 10．D 11．D
【导语】本文介绍了一种名为PIGEON的人工智能项目，它可以很好地定位照片的拍摄地点。

10．推理判断题。根据“Well, be very careful about what’s in the background in the photos you post online, he says.”可知，Stanley认为在你发布到网上的照片中，要非常小心背景中的内容，因此他建议网民在网上发照片前要三思。故选D。
11．标题归纳题。根据“A student project has discovered another power of AI: It can be good at locating (定位) where photos are taken.”可知，本文介绍了人工智能确定你的位置，故选D。

We often talk about young adults fighting with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there are some other facts at play here, parents sometimes falsely promise their children that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.
Psychologists (心理学家) think that students have used the mindset (心态) wrongly. They find that praising children’s effort will increase their performance in schools. But a 2018 research found that although praising effort over ability may benefit disadvantaged students, it does not necessarily help everyone. For some of them, the big problem is that it’s not good when the wish for the achievement is over the top. Adults should help students understand what success means in healthier ways. At Smith College where I teach, students are asked to explore how challenges made them stronger or more effective. The point is not to tell our kids not to make efforts or try their best. But imagining that they can control everything is not really resilience (适应力) . We would be wise to remind them that something unexpected always happens in our lives.
12．Why is the athlete mentioned in the first paragraph
A．To introduce the topic. B．To make an argument.
C．To explain the fact. D．To provide an example.
13．What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A．Psychologists think effort means success.
B．Many students now need the purposes of the achievement.
C．It is difficult for parents to encourage their children to achieve success.
D．It is not wise to always encourage children to make efforts to succeed.
14．Who will benefit most from the message that effort means success
A．The students who have stress. B．The students who are from rich families.
C．The students who are less advantaged. D．The students who are especially smart.
15．What is the right attitude (态度) when facing failure according to the passage
A．Never give in to failure. B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．Failure is a natural part of learning. D．We will win as long as we try our best.
【答案】12．A 13．D 14．C 15．C
【导语】本文通过一名大学运动员的故事引出了关于学生在面对失败和成功时的态度问题，探讨了努力与成功之间的关系，并提出父母和教师在教育中应采取的正确方式。
12．推理判断题。根据“An athlete at the college where I worked recently stopped by my office… I think I’m good at it, and I practice hard. How is this happening ”可知，文章通过描述大学运动员在比赛中的挫折来引出话题。故选A。
13．推理判断题。根据“They find that praising children’s effort will increase their performance in schools…it does not necessarily help everyone.”可知，鼓励孩子付出努力虽然会帮助一些学生，但并不是对每个人都有效，尤其是当对成功的渴望过度时，这种鼓励反而会适得其反。由此推断总是鼓励孩子努力争取成功是不明智的，故选D。
14． 细节理解题。根据“…although praising effort over ability may benefit disadvantaged students…”可知，赞扬努力对弱势学生有帮助。故选C。
15．细节理解题。根据“We would be wise to remind them that something unexpected always happens in our lives.”可知，作者认为面对失败时正确的态度是接受失败是学习的一部分。故选C。
