AI应用
Imagine a really smart computer brain! That’s basically what AI (人工智能), or Artificial Intelligence, is. It’s like teaching computers to think and learn, just like we do!
A long, long time ago, AI was just a dream in some scientists’ heads. They imagined machines that could play games, solve problems, and even talk! Early AI was very simple—like computers that could only play chess.
As years went by, AI got better. Today, AI is everywhere! Have you ever seen a voice helper, like Xiaodu or Siri That’s AI. It can recognize (识别) your voice and answer your questions. AI is also used in cars to help them drive by themselves and in games to make characters (角色) smarter. It can even help doctors find illnesses faster!
The future of AI is even more exciting. Scientists are working to make AI even smarter and safer. In the future, AI might help us solve big problems, like finding medicines for illnesses or protecting Earth from pollution. There might even be robots that work alongside humans, helping to take care of difficult tasks.
However, we also need to be careful. AI should be used in ways that help people and make the world a better place. That’s why many scientists are thinking hard about rules for using AI wisely. AI is like a tool—it’s amazing, but we need to use it the right way.
It’s a really exciting time for AI, and who knows what amazing things it will do next So keep learning and keep exploring—you might even become an AI expert (专家) one day!

Recently, a good number of robotic dogs have got much attention both online and offline. They are playing different roles across China with unexpected abilities.
In Chengdu, a robotic dog was seen “walking” a real dog down the street. In a popular video taken by a tourist, a small dog comfortably sits on the back of a robotic dog, enjoying a walk through the city, causing passersby to stop and take photos.
A few days ago, robotic dogs joined 35,000 human runners in the 2025 Chongqing Marathon. They not only joined in the race, but also put on a wonderful lion dance performance.
On Mount Tai, robotic dogs have taken on a new practical role. They help in transporting waste, and even serve tourists in this scenic area.
In a community in Hangzhou, a robotic dog named Xiaoxi has become a nursing person for the elderly. Besides carrying out small transportation tasks, Xiaoxi has walks with them, offering help with physical tasks and being together. Xiaoxi is expected to be officially put into service by mid-to-late April. In the future, it may even be able to answer the voice orders, further enhancing its role as an everyday assistant for the elderly.
The Fire and Rescue Team in Qingdao has also two new helpers. The two robotic dogs can go a long way. They can walk over 15 kilometers and work for 3.6 hours without stopping. The robotic dogs are really useful. They can send clear pictures in real time. They can find and send information about gases that can burn or are poisonous (有毒的). They can even “see” heat sources through the smoke. These robotic dogs will help the firefighters do their jobs better.

中国传统文化
①Lion dancing is a traditional Chinese performance that is important in cultural celebrations, like the Lunar New Year and other festivals. It brings good luck, happiness, and is believed to keep away bad spirits. The dance is done by two people who act like a lion, moving to the sound of drums and cymbals. Usually, men have been the main performers, but now women are also becoming well-known in this art.
②Male lion dancers are known for their strength and quick movements. The dance needs a lot of energy, with jumps, kicks, and balancing on high poles (柱子). Men often focus on these strong and fast actions, showing their physical power. The costumes are heavy, and the dancers need to work together well and have a lot of energy to make the lion look real. For many years, men have been the main performers, keeping this tradition alive.
③Female lion dancers, on the other hand, bring a different style to the dance. They show strength and skills but also add more smooth and graceful movements. Recently, a video of two female lion dancers doing a “drunken lion (醉酒的)” dance became very popular online. In this dance, two girls acted like a lion that had too much to drink, mixing funny and artistic moves. They practice hard to stumble and sway (摇摇欲坠) but still stay balanced and move together. This video showed how talented female lion dancers are and changed the idea that only men can do lion dancing.
④The role of men and women in lion dancing is changing. While men have been the main performers for a long time, women are now getting more recognition. This change shows how society is starting to see traditional roles differently. No matter if the dancer is male or female, lion dancing remains an important and exciting part of Chinese culture, enjoyed by everyone.

励志故事
On September 28, 2023, the Hangzhou Asian Para Games witnessed a historic moment. Zheng Tao, a 34-year-old Chinese swimmer without arms, broke the world record in the men’s 50m butterfly stroke. This was his third gold medal at the Asian Para Games, but his journey to victory was anything but easy.
Zheng lost both arms in an accident at the age of five. However, his love for water never disappeared. “The pool is where I feel free,” he once said. During training, he faced unique challenges. Without arms, he had to start each race by biting a towel (毛巾) with his teeth while pushing off the pool edge. His coach often found deep teeth marks on the towel. “It’s painful, but pain is part of my strength,” Zheng explained.
The final race was unforgettable. As Zheng bit the towel, the crowd held their breath. The starting signal rang out, and he dived into the water like a rocket. His powerful legs kicked rapidly, creating shining waves under the bright lights. Spectators (观众) cheered wildly as he touched the wall first. When the scoreboard flashed “30.25 seconds—NEW WORLD RECORD,” tears went down his face.
At the medal ceremony, Zheng smiled and raised his shoulders to “hold” the flowers. A young fan shouted, “You’re our superhero!” Zheng later told reporters, “Water doesn’t see disabilities. It only answers courage.” His story, far beyond sports, lights a fire in every struggling heart.

Running is not just an exercise for me; it’s a ritual that starts my day on the right foot. The initial moments are always the hardest. My body resists the urge to move, but once I overcome that inertia (惯性), a sense of euphoria washes over me. I feel alive, invigorated, and at peace with the world. The streets are still mostly empty, and the world seems to belong to me and my thoughts.
Every morning, as the sun rises, I lace up my shoes and head out for a run. The crisp air fills my lungs, and my feet pound the pavement in a rhythmic cadence (有节奏的步调). Running in the morning, the world is quiet. I often see the same faces—other early risers, a dog walker, or a delivery person. We exchange quiet nods or smiles, a shared understanding in the stillness. It’s a moment of connection without words, a simple yet profound (深刻的) way to start the day.
Running is my time to clear my head, to think about things, or sometimes, to simply let my mind wander. It’s a moving meditation (冥想). I notice the changing seasons——the first green leaves of spring, the warm sun of summer, the colorful leaves of autumn, and the crisp cold of winter. Each run offers a new perspective, a fresh way to see the familiar world around me.
After a good run, I feel energetic. My energy levels are high, and I am ready to face the challenges of the day. The satisfaction of having pushed myself, even a little, gives me a boost of confidence. It’s not about how fast or how far I run, but about the feeling of accomplishment and the mental clarity it brings. Running helps me stay healthy, both physically and mentally, and sets a positive tone for the entire day.
31．What does the underlined word “invigorated” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Tired. B．Sick. C．Refreshed. D．Scared.
32．What can the author see during the morning runs
A．Other runners and dog walkers. B．Trees with fruits in autumn.
C．Colorful flowers in spring. D．Heavy snow in winter.
33．What does running bring to the author
A．It helps him win the race. B．It brings him physical and mental health.
C．It makes him meet many friends. D．It helps him earn money.
34．Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．The author prefers running indoors. B．The author feels running is an easy exercise.
C．The author runs every morning. D．The author only sees new faces during his runs.
35．What does the author do after a good run
A．He feels tired and needs a rest. B．He feels his energy levels are low.
C．He faces the challenges of the day. D．He pushes himself more.

励志故事
On September 28, 2023, the Hangzhou Asian Para Games witnessed a historic moment. Zheng Tao, a 34-year-old Chinese swimmer without arms, broke the world record in the men’s 50m butterfly stroke. This was his third gold medal at the Asian Para Games, but his journey to victory was anything but easy.
Zheng lost both arms in an accident at the age of five. However, his love for water never disappeared. “The pool is where I feel free,” he once said. During training, he faced unique challenges. Without arms, he had to start each race by biting a towel (毛巾) with his teeth while pushing off the pool edge. His coach often found deep teeth marks on the towel. “It’s painful, but pain is part of my strength,” Zheng explained.
The final race was unforgettable. As Zheng bit the towel, the crowd held their breath. The starting signal rang out, and he dived into the water like a rocket. His powerful legs kicked rapidly, creating shining waves under the bright lights. Spectators (观众) cheered wildly as he touched the wall first. When the scoreboard flashed “30.25 seconds—NEW WORLD RECORD,” tears went down his face.
At the medal ceremony, Zheng smiled and raised his shoulders to “hold” the flowers. A young fan shouted, “You’re our superhero!” Zheng later told reporters, “Water doesn’t see disabilities. It only answers courage.” His story, far beyond sports, lights a fire in every struggling heart.

关注自我
Running is not just an exercise for me; it’s a ritual that starts my day on the right foot. The initial moments are always the hardest. My body resists the urge to move, but once I overcome that inertia (惯性), a sense of euphoria washes over me. I feel alive, invigorated, and at peace with the world. The streets are still mostly empty, and the world seems to belong to me and my thoughts.
Every morning, as the sun rises, I lace up my shoes and head out for a run. The crisp air fills my lungs, and my feet pound the pavement in a rhythmic cadence (有节奏的步调). Running in the morning, the world is quiet. I often see the same faces—other early risers, a dog walker, or a delivery person. We exchange quiet nods or smiles, a shared understanding in the stillness. It’s a moment of connection without words, a simple yet profound (深刻的) way to start the day.
Running is my time to clear my head, to think about things, or sometimes, to simply let my mind wander. It’s a moving meditation (冥想). I notice the changing seasons——the first green leaves of spring, the warm sun of summer, the colorful leaves of autumn, and the crisp cold of winter. Each run offers a new perspective, a fresh way to see the familiar world around me.
After a good run, I feel energetic. My energy levels are high, and I am ready to face the challenges of the day. The satisfaction of having pushed myself, even a little, gives me a boost of confidence. It’s not about how fast or how far I run, but about the feeling of accomplishment and the mental clarity it brings. Running helps me stay healthy, both physically and mentally, and sets a positive tone for the entire day.
