Consumption downgrading
Consumption downgrading refers to the trend where people
choose more affordable products and services due to economic
pressures or a desire for simplicity.This change can lead to a more
mindful shopping choices，where quality and proper prices are
considered more than brand names and luxury.For example，people prefer having a cup of coffee from
ordinary brands to Starbucks.It reflects a social move toward valuing experiences and personal growth
rather than material wealth.
Post-holiday syndrome
After a long holiday，many people suffer from post-holiday
syndrome.They feel tired and have difficulty concentrating on work or
study.During the holiday，people may stay up late，overeat and change
their regular schedules，which leads to the disorder of their biological clocks.When it comes to going
back to normal life，they struggle to adjust.To deal with post-holiday syndrome，we should restore a
regular routine gradually，get enough sleep，eat healthily and do some exercise.In this way we can
quickly shake off the effects of post-holiday syndrome and hug a productive life again.
______
Mobile phones are useful in our lives，but they can also be a source of
addiction.We check our phones constantly（频繁地），even when we don't
really need to.Some people are glued to their screens，scrolling through short
videos，without even realizing how much time has passed.Moreover，a lot of people like to use their
phones right before going to bed，and the blue light from the screens disturbs their sleep patterns.This
leads to not getting enough sleep，which makes them feel tired and less productive the next
day.Anyway，it's necessary to limit our phone usage and use them wisely.

Walking on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right,
you see a Sichuan-style restaurant full of foreigners. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei
第 1 页，共 1 页
smartphones are on sale. But you’re not in China—you’re in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might
see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people’s
tastes, Chinese restaurants have adjusted (调整) some changes to the dishes. “One example is the
meat,” said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. “We like to eat meat with the
bone in, but people here don’t. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without
bones, even for fish.”
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in
Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of
US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They’re not only made in
China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable (不可靠
的). But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. “Made in China”
becomes cool. “They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don’t have,” an
article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.
As it is said, Chinese government has been trying its best to improve its national brands of all kinds to
meet the needs of modern life.
（ ）21.How do Chinese restaurants in Western countries meet local people’s tastes

①Can you imagine a doctor performing a surgery (手术) on a patient thousands of kilometers
away A recent surgery was done by doctors in Chengdu in real. Using a robotic technology, the
doctors saved a patient in Lhasa (拉萨). With the development of AI-powered remote surgery,
modern healthcare has changed in a big way.
②AI played an important part in this surgery. By studying tons of medical data (数据), AI helps
doctors plan the surgery, predict problems that could happen, and find the solutions.
③During the surgery, AI also tells the doctors the patient’s necessary information, like heart
rate, blood pressure and oxygen levels. If anything of the patient goes wrong, it can warn the medical
team and suggest changes to the surgery plan.
④Another key role in this surgery was supercomputing technology. Remote surgeries need fast
data transmission (传送), as even small delays (延迟) can be dangerous. Supercomputing can quickly
deal with a lot of data, making sure that the surgery pictures are clear and that the doctors’ orders are
followed at once.
⑤The robot used in this surgery does an excellent job. It has one arm and one hole, which
makes the cut smaller, making less pain and speeding up the process for the patient to get better. It
also increases the chances of a successful surgery and lowers the risk of accidents.
⑥This kind of surgery is a huge excitement, especially for people in remote areas. It means that
patients don’t have to travel far for good medical care, saving time and being treated in time.
⑦And for places with fewer doctors, this kind of surgery also brings good news as doctors from
bigger cities can help with surgeries and train local doctors. This kind of surgery is important for
improving healthcare everywhere.
（ ）26.How does the writer lead into AI-powered remote surgery
第 1 页，共 1 页
A. By giving reasons. B. By telling a story.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving an example.
（ ）27.Which of the following questions is answered in Paragraph 4
A. Why does the surgery need the help of supercomputer
B. Where was the AI-powered remote surgery performed
C. How’s the normal computer different from the supercomputer
D. When is the best time for the supercomputer to deal with the data
（ ）28.What is the main advantage of the surgical robot mentioned in Paragraph 5
A. It can work without any internet connection.
B. It is cheaper than traditional surgical methods.
C. It can perform surgeries without any human doctors.
D. It makes smaller cuts, reduces pain, and speeds up recovery.
（ ）29.Which of the following shows the structure of this passage （① = Para.1 ② = Para.2 ③ =
Para.3 ④ = Para.4 ⑤ = Para.5 ⑥ = Para.6 ⑦ = Para.7）
A. B.
C. D.
（ ）30.What can we infer about AI-powered remote surgery from the passage
A. No matter how far the place is, this kind of surgery can reach.
B. AI can warn the doctors if anything goes wrong with the patient.
C. The doctors in Lhasa might improve their skills through this kind of surgery.
D. The patient in Lhasa may get better a little slower through this kind of surgery.
D（六选五）
The Secret to Happiness
There’s a Chinese saying that goes, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap (小睡). If
you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, become wealthy by chance.
第 1 页，共 1 页
31 ” Helping others by giving may be the secret to a happy, healthy life. The more you give, the
more you’ll gain. The key is to find a method that works for you. 32
Find your love. 33 You might feel bad if you are doing something you don’t like. You will
feel great when you put your love into giving.
Give your time. The gift of time is often more valuable to the receiver, and more satisfying to
the giver than money. People don’t all have the same amount (数量) of money, but everyone has time.
34 It can be just a few hours a day, or a few days a year.
Be active. Take every chance to serve your community. You are free to choose what you want
to do. Make full use of services that match your values.
35 You can easily get used to selfless giving. When you give, make sure to keep your own
needs in mind. You matter, too!
All in all, by proper giving, you can gain purpose, meaning and happiness—all of the things that
people look for in life but are so hard to find.
A．Don’t forget about yourself.
B．Here is some advice that you can take.
C．You can give some of this time to help others.
D．If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.
E．But sometimes you are not sure where money is going.
F．Your giving should not be from orders but come out of love.

For many years, historians thought the Altar Stone at the center of Stonehenge, England’s
famous historic place, came from Wales. However, new research suggests its journey was much
longer. According to a study published recently in Nature, the stone may have traveled all the way
from Scotland—meaning that builders transported it across more than 750 kilometers around 5,000
years ago.
The Altar Stone lies partly buried inside Stonehenge. “For many years, the central stone has
been a mystery, lying in what should be the most important part of Stonehenge,” says Joshua Pollard,
a historian.
Stonehenge was built in several steps, beginning around 3000 BC．Researchers believe builders
placed the 13,200-pound Altar Stone there sometime between 2620 and 2480 BC．
No one knows exactly how the builders moved such a heavy stone. Researchers think that
people during the Neolithic period（石器时代）used rivers and waterways to transport heavy objects.
For example, a large stone tool was once moved from Normandy to Dorset. So, it’s possible that the
Altar Stone was also transported in the same way when building Stonehenge.
However, another historian Mike Pitts thinks a land journey is also reasonable. “If you put a
stone on a boat out to sea, not only do you risk losing the stone—but also nobody can see it,” Pitts
第 1 页，共 1 页
says. “On land, many communities would see the journey, and the stone would become more
valuable…as it traveled south.”
Pitts also adds that the study is so important because it shows that ancient groups of people were
good at communicating and working together even though they were very far apart.
What it is: The 13,200-pound 46 （1 词）stone lying in the most important part of
Stonehenge.

My hometown
I would like to tell you something about my hometown Nantong. Located near
the Yangtze River, Nantong is famous for its beautiful scenery and rich culture.
Visitors can explore Langshan Mountain, where they can enjoy peaceful temples
and breathtaking views. A traditional craft here is blue calico. People love it
because its natural dyes and patterns show both creativity and eco-friendliness. It’s
often used to make clothes or decorations. To make Nantong better, I plan to join
voluntary work. For example, I’ll help clean up parks and organize activities to
teach tourists about local culture. Also, I share Nantong’s stories online to attract
more visitors.
Let’s work together to protect our hometown’s beauty and heritage!
