My first day as a teacher, I was told I had a “sweet group of kids” by their fourth grade teachers, and after making it through that first day, I found this to be true. I quickly grew to love each child in my classroom. But in the following days, I found it hard to compete with the endless stream of fast-paced technology that filled their lives. It was a struggle to keep the students’ attention.
As the year progressed, it came time to teach the American Revolution and I wondered how I would connect something that happened over 200 years earlier to the students’ lives. Another teacher suggested I try staging a revolution of my own, and so one Monday morning, the students arrived to find me in an elegant purple dress with long white gloves.
I explained to the students that for a few weeks I would be “queen” of the classroom, and they would be my “colonists (殖民者).” I passed out five pennies to all the students each day and told them as long as they kept their pennies until the end of class, they would be rewarded. As the unit progressed, I began taxing (收税) a penny to go to the restroom or sharpen a pencil at other times than the given times. The tax reduced distractions (分心) because students didn’t want to give up their daily reward for a few minutes of playtime in the restroom. Then, my system took a sharp turn.
At times, I would step aside from my queen act to give the “colonists” advice. “Think about what the early colonists did to solve their problems with the taxes. What can you do that might convince the queen to stop taxing you ” The unit took twists and turns (一波三折) that weren’t in my lesson plans, but I let the lessons unfold without concern over everything turning out a specific way. For the first time that year, I saw students pawing through their textbooks. One student even said, “This is cool. We are learning and having fun at the same time.”
Through that unit, I realized that if the students could see how their input influenced the class, they would be engaged.
4. What did the teacher find difficult at the beginning of teaching
A. Loving each child in the classroom.
B. Competing with other teachers in teaching skills.
C. Connecting historical events to students’ lives.
D. Keeping the students’ attention away from technology.
5. Why did the teacher dress up as a “queen” in class
A. To show her elegance to the students.
B. To make students understand the history better.
C. To get students to pay attention to her clothes.
D. To celebrate the American Revolution.
6. What did the teacher do to reduce distractions during the “revolution” teaching
A. She taxed students for ungiven times.
B. She asked students to study textbooks quietly.
C. She allowed students to go to the restroom freely.
D. She gave students extra pennies as rewards.
7. What did the teacher learn from this teaching experience
A. History lessons should be taught in a fun way.
B. Students should be given more freedom in class.
C. Students should be involved to attract their attention.
D. Teachers should use more multimedia in teaching.
C
When you’re tired out, the idea of pushing yourself to work out can feel impossible. But a casual walk or stretching exercise might not seem out of reach. A new fitness trend has renamed these super low-intensity (强度) forms of movement as “zone zero” exercise.
As the name suggests, zone zero training is meant to be so easy that it feels almost effortless, and it generally refers to any activity in which your heart rate stays below half of its maximum capacity. “It’s a new term for an old concept,” which is that any amount of physical activity is good for you, said Dr. Julia, a sports medicine physician. Many people can benefit from a no-stress approach, she added, especially if they’re used to “no pain, no gain” fitness messaging that suggests the only workout worth doing is one that feels like work.
Less active people may benefit more from zone zero. If you spend most of your time sitting, even adding a modest amount of movement to your day can help to improve key measures of health like circulation, blood pressure and blood sugar, said Dr. Eli Friedman, who directs the sports cardiology (心脏病学) program. “The people who go from doing nothing to something get the most bang for the buck,” Dr. Friedman said. Over time, he added, moving gradually more and at gradually higher intensities can improve your balance and muscle strength.
Zone zero shouldn’t replace more intense exercise. If you regularly exercise at middle or high intensities, zone zero training can be a useful complement to your fitness routine-but it’s not a substitute (替代). But on rest days, it can be a worthwhile form of active rest or recovery, which can help relieve muscle pain.
Don’t overcomplicate it. Giving the activities of everyday life a seemingly formal name may motivate some people-especially those who have felt frightened by or excluded from more intense fitness spaces. But the key point is to increase your daily movement in whatever way feels manageable and sustainable.
8. What is a key feature of zone zero exercise according to the text
A. It causes slight muscle pain.
B. It requires high muscle strength.
C. It replaces middle-intensity exercise.
D. It keeps the heart rate under half of the highest.
9. What does the underlined phrase “get the most bang for the buck” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Waste the most time. B. Gain the most benefits.
C. Spend the most money. D. Face the most difficulties.
10. What is the author most likely to discuss next
A. Athletes’ promotion of zone zero. B. History of low-intensity exercise.
C. Daily examples of zone zero exercise. D. Data of zone zero vs intense exercise.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. No Pain, No Gain: Outdated Fitness messaging.
B. Active Rest: The Best Way to Relieve Muscle Pain.
C. Zone Zero Exercise: A Substitute to Intense Exercise.
D Zone Zero Exercise: An Easy-to-do Way to Improve Health.
D
According to the UN, some 62m tonnes (百万公吨) of e-waste were produced in 2022. Only 22% is recycled. Most of the rest ends up in landfills, where in 2024 recoverable raw materials worth $63bn (十亿) went to waste. That figure is expected to grow to more than $80bn by 2030.
Moreover, getting those materials out of the rubbish is also a challenge. A new generation of robots powered by artificial-intelligence (AI) models, however, looks to be up to the job.
José Saenz and his team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation in Magdeburg, are developing a robotic system that can be used in a general recycling centre. The first thing the team’s robot does is identify any product it is offered. A camera photographs the item and compares the photo with pictures of different PCs. The robot also scans any labels and product codes to check whether service instructions or other disassembly (拆卸) tips are available online. Once the identification is complete, the AI system then determines which parts are worth removing, either in the form of raw materials or as complete parts to be used again. Analysis done, the AI creates a disassembly order to operate the robot’s arms. These are equipped with a selection of tools, such as drills, grippers and screwdrivers, to remove and sort items.
So far, the team has got each stage in the disassembly process working in separate machines. They are now linking these together into a single robotic device (设备) able to complete the whole process.
Once taking PCs apart has been mastered, the team will train robots to treat other products. The learning process will take time. Dr Saenz thinks it could be five years until they develop a commercial disassembly robot that could usefully work at a recycling centre taking apart anything from PCs to white goods and televisions.
12. What does the author try to show by listing the figures in paragraph 1
A. The severity of e-waste. B. The expectation of treating e-waste.
C. The danger of recovering e-waste. D. The application of e-waste.
13. Why does the robot scan labels and product codes
A. To take photos of the product. B. To sort raw materials and parts.
C. To find online disassembly help. D. To create a disassembly order.
14. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The tools equipped on the robot’s arms.
B The purpose of developing the recycling robot.
C. The working steps of the AI-powered recycling robot.
D. The effectiveness of recycling different electronic products.
15. What is the team doing now with the disassembly process
A. Selling commercial disassembly robots.
B. Using separate machines for each stage.
C. Training robots to take apart white goods.
D. Connecting stage machines into one device.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内谷和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was the last day before Christmas vacation and the last day of my student teaching assignment. I would have less than an hour before my class rushed off for lunch. The afternoon was set aside for the Christmas party.
I opened the door and twenty-nine children shouted “Surprise!”
There were new decorations added to the holiday ones from the day before. Over the chalkboard was a banner (横幅) with “Congratulations!” printed across it. Every child had signed and decorated it. I was swept up in lots of arms and led to a table piled with gifts. Before long I could barely see over the holiday towels, candles, perfume, candy and jewelry.
Surprised by the outpouring of love, I took time opening each gift and thanked each giver. By the time I’d opened the last gift on the table it was almost lunchtime. The room was a little quieter now and I realized that I’d received a gift from all but one of the children. It was so much more than I could ever have expected.
I looked around the room. Most of the children were grouped in twos and threes, talking and working on holiday puzzles as they waited for the bell. Joey sat alone, but that wasn’t unusual. He was only in the room for morning attendance and lunch, spending the rest of the day in a Special Education class.
I hardly knew him, but his ill-fitting clothes and bony frame marked him as one of the poorest of the poor. He bent over a piece of paper, his pencil flashing across it. His hand reached into his pocket and pulled out a crumpled (皱的) dollar. He smoothed the bill, laid it on the paper and folded the paper into an envelope around it. He ran to the supply basket, dashed back and sealed (封) the paper envelope with a gold star. The students stood at the door, ready for lunch.
注意：
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；
(2) 请按如下格式作答。
But Joey hung back and inched toward me when the bell rang.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“You mean I can have a teacher’s lunch ” Wide-eyed, he grinned.
