M: You’re right. What about Billy He loves boats, so it’s either the Thames or the zoo.
W: Definitely the Thames for Billy. What about an opera at Covent Garden for your parents

M: Good afternoon, students. This is your headmaster speaking. Firstly, I’d like to welcome you all back. I hope this will be another excellent school year.
Many changes have taken place at the school over the summer. As well as a new group of students, we are also welcoming some new members of staff: Mrs Hook, who will be teaching physics; Miss Chang, the new head of the English literature department and our new boys PE coach, Mr Walden.
You will also notice several changes to the school puter classes will now take place in the new technology centre, located behind the mathematics building. The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger, and contains thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper stage to perform concerts and plays.
Despite all these changes, the school rules remain the same. Be respectful, be on time, and always do your best. Thank you.

Chinese Culture Exhibition
Last Friday, our school held a Chinese Culture Exhibition to promote and honour traditional Chinese culture among students. The event featured diverse activities like calligraphy displays, paper-cutting workshops, dumpling-making sessions, ethnic costume showcases, and performances of Peking Opera, folk music, and dragon and lion dances.
Beyond a mere showcase, this exhibition deepened students’ understanding and respect for their cultural heritage, fostering a strong sense of national pride. It sparked enthusiasm for learning more about our traditions and emphasized the importance of preservation.
The response was highly positive. Attendees marveled at the richness of Chinese culture and committed to its continuation. This enlightening event powerfully underscored the beauty and significance of our ancient civilization, leaving a profound impact on all participants.

【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Robbie梦想成为一名专业游泳运动员,但是在一次训练中他严重受伤导致他没有机会实现梦想了。一次在从海滩回家的途中,他拯救了溺水的孤儿Nicole,在了解她的身世背景以及梦想后,Robbie决定教她游泳,二人成了好朋友,Robbie也找到了自己的人生价值。
【详解】
1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“出于对Nicole的同情,Robbie决定教她游泳。”可知,第二段可描写Robbie在之后的日子中教Nicole游泳,二人成为好友,以及Robbie的感悟。
2.续写线索:Robbie救人—Nicole感激—Robbie决定教Nicole游泳—Robbie负责指导—Robbie和 Nicole成为好朋友—Robbie的感悟
One possible version:
Then, he jumped in. Although Robbie was terrified inside, at the thought of the distant call, he did his best to overcome his fear and swam towards the girl. The waves were so big that Robbie was almost swallowed up in the spray. As soon as he reached the girl, he grabbed her hand and swam as fast as he could to the shore. After many struggles, they finally reached the shore safely. Nicole expressed her gratitude to Robbie and told him about her family and her own dream.
Feeling pity for Nicole, Robbie decided to teach her how to swim. When Nicole heard the news that Robbie was going to teach her to swim, she was overjoyed. With a big smile on her face, she jumped for joy and shouted, “I will realize my dream of becoming a professional swimmer!” In the months that followed, Robbie mentored Nicole patiently, and they became close companions. Watching her progress, Robbie found his own value in life: helping others achieve a dream that he could not, and most importantly, a dream that they shared.单元素养测评卷(五)

B [2024·河北保定高一期中]
Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who has Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (拉拉队), she responded in the most impressive way—she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, a girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now capturing hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87,000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “The girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity.”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to embrace our uniqueness and find joy in every moment.
( )24.What do we know about Emmie from the first two paragraphs
A.She refused to give up performing.
B.She used to be looked down upon.
C.She showed a special talent for cheerleading.

AI-generated content has recently won big in the literary world. Japanese author Rie Kudan won one of Japan’s most famous literary awards, the Akutagawa Prize, with the help of ChatGPT in The Tokyo Tower of Sympathy.
The book is set in future Japan, where AI has become an important part of people’s lives. The story centres around an architect who creates a comfortable prison but struggles with a society that she sees as being overly sympathetic to criminals.
Kudan admitted at a news conference that “around 5 percent of the book’s text was taken directly from generative AI”, reported Kyodo News. She added that there is a scene in the book where an AI chatbot answers the main character’s questions and she used AI-generated text in the responses given by AI in the story. The word-for-word content generated by AI was applauded by committee members as “practically flawless”, said CNN.
This is not the first time that AI-related works have won prizes. In October 2023, The Land of Machine Memories was awarded second prize at China’s fifth youth popular science and science fiction competition. The fiction was fully created by AI with the prompts (提示) given by Shen Yang, a professor at Tsinghua University. Surprisingly, just one judge among the six of the competition realized that what they were reading was the product of a machine.
So will literature in the future be all about AI Debates are still ongoing on the matter. Japanese literary critic Akira Okawada told Kyodo News that “it is difficult for AI to create a work that addresses ethical themes in depth”. However, Chinese writer Luo Ping holds the positive view. “Improvements in technology will not cause human laziness in creating works, but rather will only make them involved in more heated competition. With the help of technology, the starting point of human thinking will only grow higher,” Luo told Hongxing News.
“I think this is only the beginning for AI in creating literature,” Fu Changyi, a member of Jiangsu Popular Science Writers Association, told online news Guancha. “We will wait and see how the future goes,” he added.

“Why does grandpa have ear hair ” Just a few years ago my child was so curious to know “why” and “how” that we had to cut off her questions five minutes before bedtime. Now a soon-to-be fourth grader, she says that she dislikes school because “it’s not fun to learn”. I am shocked. As a scientist and parent, I have done all to promote a love of learning in my children. Where did I go wrong
My child’s experience is not unique. Psychologist Susan Engel notes that curiosity—defined as “spontaneous (自发的) investigation and eagerness for new information”—drops greatly in children by the fourth grade.
In Wonder: Childhood and the Lifelong Love of Science, Yale psychologist Frank C. Keil details the development of wonder—a spontaneous passion to explore, discover, and understand. He takes us on a journey from its early development, when wonder drives common sense and scientific reasoning, through the drop-off in wonder that often occurs, to the trap of life in a society that denies wonder.
As Keil notes, children are rich in wonder while they are rapidly developing causal mechanisms (因果机制) in the preschool and early elementary school years. They are sensitive to the others’ knowledge and goals, and they expertly use their desire for questioning. Children’s questions, particularly those about “why” and “how”, support the development of causal mechanisms which can be used to help their day-to-day reasoning.
Unfortunately, as Keil notes, “adults greatly underestimate (低估) young children’s causal mechanisms”. In the book Wonder, Keil shows that we can support children’s ongoing wonder by playing games with them as partners, encouraging question-asking, and focusing on their abilities to reason and conclude.
A decline in wonder is not unavoidable. Keil reminds us that we can accept wonder as a positive quality that exists in everyone. I value wonder deeply, and Wonder has given me hope by suggesting a future for my children that will remain wonder-full.

In many ways, life has become far more comfortable and convenient in the past few decades. 36. Here, we look at three of the most serious environmental problems we are currently facing.
Air Pollution
The main cause of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels by vehicles and power plants. Other human activities, such as construction and the burning of waste, also contribute to air pollution. The effects on our health can be very serious.
You can easily contribute to reducing air pollution by only using a car to make journeys when it’s absolutely necessary. 37.
Global Warming
Global warming is the increase in the temperature of the Earth’s near-surface air and oceans. It’s caused by the build-up of carbon dioxide and other pollutants in the atmosphere. These trap the Sun’s heat and warm up the planet.
Global warming has already caused a wide range of problems. 38. Countries around the world have faced extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, floods and heat waves.
Overflowing Landfills
Landfills are used for waste disposal (处理) in many countries around the world. However, these landfills are now nearing their limit. When this happens, the chances of dangerous chemicals in the waste entering our water supply increase.
The amount of waste in landfills in China has risen sharply over the last ten years. 39. Some cities, such as Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai, among others, are leading the way and have promised to send “zero waste to landfill”.
40. They believe that, although recycling waste is effective, the most effective way of solving the problem of overflowing landfills is to encourage people to take responsibility for reducing the waste they produce themselves.
A.If it isn’t, try using public transport instead.
B.Sea level is rising due to the melting of polar ice sheets.
C.However, this has come at a huge cost to the environment.
D.This resulted in the flooding of the River Po near Turin in Italy.
E.For instance, that in Hong Kong is likely to reduce within a few years.
F.Thus, the government is now trying to find alternative waste disposal methods.
G.Apart from the three Rs(Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), some experts have called for the fourth R—Responsibility.

Robbie loved swimming in the sea. When he was a little boy, he had always dreamed of becoming a professional swimmer. And he moved well on his career journey when he grew up. But one day, unfortunately, he got badly injured while he was training for a swimming competition.
After months of treatment, his condition got better. But the doctor strongly advised him never to go swimming again, or else his life would be in danger. This broke his heart.
Despite the fact that he had to give up swimming, his love for swimming never died. So he rented a beach house, which would allow him the comfort of being close to the sea water. And to make ends meet, he tried to sell souvenirs to tourists who visited the beach.
One early summer evening, Robbie was making his way home from the beach when he heard a cry. It was reported that it might rain that day, so most people had left the beach early. But Robbie believed he had heard something. The cry came again, and he had a quick look around. He found the beach was empty. Suddenly, he heard a shout from the sea.
“Help!” a frightened and tired kid shouted. He learned later that the kid was 12 years old, called Nicole, and lived in an orphanage (孤儿院). She lost her parents when she was a baby. Her parents were professional swimmers and she dreamed about becoming a good swimmer like them. That early summer evening, after dinner, she left the orphanage alone and went to the beach, hoping to learn to swim on her own. The girl almost drowned. When she was calling for help that evening, Robbie happened to hear it.
He immediately called the police. “But waiting for help might be too late,” Robbie thought. He thought of how life-threatening it was for him to swim. “The kid is drowning!” but he thought as he fought his fear. “I must help.”
注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Then, he jumped in.
Paragraph 2:
Feeling pity for Nicole, Robbie decided to teach her how to swim.
