Automated Kitchens: Benefits and Risks
Do you think automated (自动化的) kitchens only exist in science fiction shows like Star Trek Well, think again! Nowadays, robots are already being used to do many things in the kitchen, like frying chicken, making pizzas, and preparing salads. And artificial intelligence (AI) can even create new recipes based on the ingredients available in a kitchen. There are also more advanced ideas being developed to make high-quality restaurant kitchens automated.
At first, because new technologies are usually expensive, it’s the restaurants and other businesses that start using AI kitchen technologies. But as time passes by, the prices will probably go down enough for ordinary families to afford. This will change how our homes and society work.
There are some good things about AI kitchens. For example, cooks don’t have to do boring jobs like peeling potatoes or standing in one place for hours. This saves time and lets people do more important things. AI can also provide different kinds of special diets and tastes to meet personal needs.
However, there are also problems. Cooking is not just about making food. It’s a good activity that helps people communicate and express themselves. If we don’t need humans to cook anymore, these good things might disappear. Family relationships might not be as good without the time spent together in the kitchen.
Moreover, the kitchen is like a science lab at home. It’s important for kids to learn about materials, chemistry, and how to solve problems through cooking.
We also have to think about cultural problems. Sometimes, AI might change traditional recipes and cooking methods because it doesn’t understand cultural details well. This could make the dishes less diverse. If we rely too much on technology for cooking, the food might taste the same. It’s similar to how AI art images look alike in different apps.
In conclusion, while new technologies bring convenience, they also have a price. We need to think about the possible problems they might cause in our society, especially when it comes to something as important as food in our daily lives.
1．Why are restaurants the first to use AI kitchen technologies, according to the text
A．They are more interested in automation.
B．They can afford the high costs.

D．They want to attract more customers.
2．What is one potential benefit of AI kitchens mentioned in the article
A．Meeting various tastes. B．Saving money on food.

3．If AI takes over cooking completely, what might happen to traditional cooking skills
A．They might be improved. B．They might be lost.
C．They might stay the same. D．They might become more popular.
4．What aspects may artificial intelligence kitchens have problems according to the article？
A．AI cannot understand cultural details and might change traditional recipes.
B．AI cannot provide special diets and tastes.
C．AI cannot reduce the price of kitchen technology.

Do you smile after leaving a barber shop This question is being talked about a lot on the Internet again. It’s because a barber shop named Xiaohua in Hunan has become very popular through live-streaming.
Xiaohua has been open for 11 years. People like it because it has low prices and a great barber named Li Jing. Li Jing can always meet customers’ needs in the live-streams.
But Xiaohua is different from most barber shops. Many people still face problems like expensive prices and barbers who don’t understand what they want. A survey by China Youth Daily found that more than half of 1,314 people think the hairdressing service needs to be improved.
I have the same feeling. Barbers often don’t understand my needs. A simple cut often turns out bad. And they don’t thin my thick hair well. Bangs are the worst. Some cut them too long, some too short, and they all say it’s the best for my face or style.
Liu Zhensheng, 48, who has been a barber in Beijing for 33 years, said customer dissatisfaction is because of bad skills, confusion or barbers not listening. Some stores only promise to do the same style according to the pictures displayed by customers, without really discussing what customers want. But everyone’s hair, face, and bone structure are different, so getting a haircut may be disappointing.
Also, the prices in many barber shops are very high. Near my home, in a chain barber shop, the price for a simple haircut can be from 64 to 241 yuan depending on the barber’s title like “chief designer”, “technical director” or “creative director”. These titles are confusing.
Liu said high prices are because of the shop’s design, facilities, fame and service, not because of skills. But barber shops should focus on meeting customers’ needs.
The authorities should also pay attention to and reduce unfair prices. If the hairdressing industry could provide a price guide for services, that would be great. In the long run, sincerity is very important. Barbershops should listen to customers’ voices, pay attention to details, avoid playing tricks, and choose products carefully.
1．Why did Xiaohua barbershop become popular
A．Because of its high prices.
B．Because of its good location.
C．Because of its low prices and a great barber.
D．Because of its fancy interior design.
2．What are the factors that cause high prices in some barber shops, according to Liu
A．Good skills and service. B．Shop design and facilities.
C．High-quality products. D．Frequent promotions.
3．According to the article, what is a common problem customers face at barber shops
A．They always pay extra fees.
B．They often get exactly what they want.
C．They face expensive prices and misunderstandings.
D．They are always satisfied with the service.
4．Which of the following statements is correct
A．The skills of barbers are the main reason for high prices.
B．Most barbers can understand customers’ needs.
C．The hairdressing industry needs to improve its design, facilities.
D．A sincere attitude is crucial for the long-term success of barber shops.

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy (易记住的) and meaningful way, ” said Dr. Karen Luke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Luke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area. ”
Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D．C． , depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs with Chinese lyrics instead of English lyrics. So it’s easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids. ” “Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now,”adds Hua Zhuying.
Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you’re still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out
1．According to the passage,which is the best way to remember a foreign language
A．To read and write more. B．To listen to the teacher carefully.
C．To copy the words many times. D．To remember words in a song.

A．Making progress. B．Having problems.
C．Taking part. D．Making a difference.
3．How can foreign language learning be supported in Dr. Luke’s opinion
A．By using the listen-and-repeat singing method.
B．By listening to all kinds of famous music.
C．By writing songs with the language.
D．By reading the lyrics again and again.
4．What can we know about Hua Zhuying
①She is interested in writing English songs.
②She teaches children Chinese by using music.
③She works in an American school.
④She is a researcher in a language school.
A．①② B．①④ C．②③ D．③④
5．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Many researchers realize the importance of language studying.
B．Your brain remembers a language better if you sing it.
C．Many language teachers know the value of famous music.
D．You will never learn a language well unless you can sing.

①This spring, the movie YOLO became a huge hit in China, starting a “fitness (健身) fever”. However, some people need to think twice about their fitness programs.
②The movie tells the story of an overweight and jobless woman who is disconnected from society. However, after meeting a boxing coach and taking up the sport, she begins to turn her life around.

Jiang agrees with that.
⑥“It’s never bad to have such a movie that could remind so many people of the importance of keeping fit,” said Jiang. “But remember to lose weight in a healthy way.

I am sure you know the story of the turtle (乌龟) and the rabbit. It taught people many lessons. One of these lessons is that people who have all the advantages (the fast-jumping rabbit) can be beaten by those who have nothing but inner (内心的) strength (the slow turtle).
It is true that the race of life, just like the one between the rabbit and the turtle, is often unfair. Some kids have all the luck. They were born healthy and their parents are rich. These kids wear nice clothes and they always have much money to spend on anything they like. Many other kids, however, have none of these things. Some of them were even born with disabilities. They have to depend on their inner strength alone.
While many people believe the “rabbits” are always successful, this is not true. In fact, the “turtles”—kids from poor families—have some of the most important things for success. They are humble (谦逊) and determined (有决心的). They march forward slowly but with great inner strength.
A student from Tsinghua University shared his personal experience online. Instead of having fun with his classmates outside, he chose to get a part-time job and study hard. He knew there would be plenty of time for fun once he had overcome all of the difficulties. His story may have encouraged “turtles”. The race of life is long. Even if you get off to a slow start, you can easily catch up if you make up your mind to do so.
1．Why does the writer mention the race between the turtle and the rabbit in the beginning
A．To raise a discussion. B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To tell a common story. D．To express the opinion.
2．What does the underlined sentence in Para. 2 probably mean according to the text
A．Not everyone’s starting point is the same.
B．All the people have different dreams.
C．People are treated differently in life.
D．Everyone wants to win the race.
3．What is the meaning of the underlined word “march” in the passage
A．Look. B．Move. C．Develop. D．Change.
4．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To advise us to try new things.
B．To tell us how to succeed quickly.
C．To show us the power of inner strength.
D．To encourage us to take races in life bravely.
5．What’s the theme (主题) of the text
A．Society and technology. B．Man and nature.
C．Education and learning. D．Culture and history.

2．细节理解题。根据后文“Some kids have all the luck. They were born healthy and their parents are rich. ... Many other kids, however, have none of these things.”可知，并非每个人的起点都是一样的。故选A。
3．词句猜测题。根据“They march forward slowly but with great inner strength.”并结合选项可知，他们前进缓慢，但内心充满力量；可推测出“march”意为“前进”，与“move”意思相近。故选B。
4．主旨大意题。本文通过龟兔赛跑的故事，引出了文章的主题——慢但是坚持不懈的人往往会成功，展示了内在力量的重要性。故选C。
5．主旨大意题。本文通过龟兔赛跑的故事，引出了文章的主题——慢但是坚持不懈的人往往会成功。再结合文章最后一段“Even if you get off to a slow start, you can easily catch up if you make up your mind to do so.”可知，即使你起步慢，只要你下定决心去做，你也可以很容易地赶上。由此可知文章主题是关于教育与学习。故选C。

①Growing up, I always took notes in class by hand. I would copy everything from the blackboard or slide (幻灯片) while listening to the teacher. When I entered college, I noticed that many students were using laptops (笔记本电脑) to take notes. Sometimes, I wondered: Should I change my note-taking habits Could I get better grades if I typed (打字) my notes instead of writing them by hand
②A study at Princeton University looked at different note-taking skills. The researchers asked pairs of students to take notes during an online course. In each pair, one student used a computer, and the other used pen and paper. The researchers found that the students performed similarly on fact-based (基于事实) questions. However, some questions required that the students answered what they had learned in the lesson. On these questions, the “typing or copying everything” students scored much lower. Interestingly, this study also found that students who didn’t copy the notes word for word scored higher. And this discovery (发现) made me improve my note-taking habits.
③“With laptops or your pen and paper, you can write a lot of things down,” said Michi Matsukura, one of my professors (教授). “The problem is, are you trying to understand what you’ re writing ”
④Now, “conceptual (概念化的) note taking”— focusing on big ideas, key terms, and interesting facts—simply makes more sense to us. We’ve found it more helpful in our studies than copying everything. It wasn’t easy to make this change, though. There was a fear of missing something when I first stopped writing down everything on the slide.
⑤It takes time and effort to discover and master the art of note taking. You can write your notes by hand or type them. You can copy word for word or try “conceptual note taking.” In the end, they are your notes. Just do what works best for you.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
1．Which is true about typing or copying the notes word for word
A．It’s helpful to answer some fact-based questions.
B．People always use some key terms when copying.
C．Big ideas are often used when people copy the notes.
D．It’s easy to answer what we have learned in the lesson.
2．What made the writer improve his note-taking habits

1．细节理解题。根据“The researchers found that the students performed similarly on fact-based (基于事实) questions. However, some questions required that the students answered what they had learned in the lesson. On these questions, the ‘typing or copying everything’ students scored much lower.”可知，研究人员发现，在基于事实的问题上，“打字或逐字抄写”的学生们的表现相似。然而，有些问题要求学生回答他们在课堂上所学的内容。在这些问题上，“打字或逐字抄写”的学生得分要低得多。因此“打字或逐字抄写”记笔记对回答一些基于事实的问题是有帮助的。故选A。
2．细节理解题。根据“And this discovery (发现) made me improve my note-taking habits.”可知，研究结果促使作者改善了记笔记的习惯。故选B。

There are always worries about false information on social media. Believing false information could influence our personal and group health. But why do people believe false information they seed online One popular argument is that they are short of digital literacy (养), so they’re more likely to believe and share false information.
To explore the possible connections between one’s digital literacy and tendency (倾向) to believe false information, we surveyed 1,341 Americans. First, we showed them 24 news headlines—half of which were true and half of which were false. Then we tested their digital literacy. After that, they were asked to answer a question about different kinds of newsfeeds.
The survey found that digital literacy is indeed a good predictor (预测) of one’s ability to tell true information from what is false. But when we looked at the connection between digital literacy and the tendency to share false information with others, the results were different. Just like people who were less digitally literate, people who were more digitally literate were likely to share false articles as well.
Also, the results showed that even people with high digital literacy were not immune from sharing false news with others. This sounds strange. If you are better at telling the difference between the true and the false, why would you share false information As we look quickly through our news feeds, we often pay attention to feedback, such as how many “likes” our posts have received. It turns out that we often forget to ask ourselves whether a story is true or false before deciding to share it.
So, let’s all stop right now! Remember to ask ourselves whether the news we see is true before even thinking about clicking “share”.
1．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To explain the importance of digital literacy.
B．To introduce how to improve digital literacy.
C．To remind readers to protect personal information.
D．To explore why people share false information online.
2．What does the underlined phrase “immune from” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Able to avoid. B．Glad to enjoy. C．Brave to stop. D．Willing to practice.
3．Which of the following is true
A．Nowadays, all people are more likely to believe and share false information.
B．According to the survey 14 news headlines were false.
C．Digital literacy can well predict one’s ability to tell true information from false.
D．Before deciding to share the story, we often know it is true.
4．What is the tone (语气) of the text
A．Angry B．Serious. C．Proud. D．Humorous.
5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过调查和分析，探讨了数字素养与分享虚假信息之间的关系，指出即使数字素养高的人也可能分享虚假信息，并呼吁人们在分享信息前要核实其真实性。
1．主旨大意题。本文通过调查和分析，探讨了人们分享虚假信息的原因，尤其是数字素养与分享虚假信息之间的关系。因此，作者的写作目的是探讨人们为什么会在网上分享虚假信息。故选D。
2．词义猜测题。根据第四段“Also, the results showed that even people with high digital literacy were not immune from sharing false news with others. This sounds strange. If you are better at telling the difference between the true and the false, why would you share false information ”可知，如果你更擅长区分真假，为什么你还要分享虚假信息呢，也就是说数字素养高的人也不能避免分享虚假信息；据此可以推断，划线单词“immune from”意为“能够避免”。故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据第三段“The survey found that digital literacy is indeed a good predictor of one’s ability to tell true information from what is false.”可知，数字素养确实能很好地预测一个人辨别真假信息的能力。故选C。
4．推理判断题。文章以严肃的态度探讨人们在社交媒体上分享虚假信息这一严肃问题，通过调查分析等严谨的论述，最后严肃地提醒读者分享新闻前要先判断真假，整体语气是严肃的。故选B。
5．篇章结构题。综合全文可知，第一段提出人们在社交媒体上相信虚假信息这一问题；第二、三、四段通过调查及结果分析探讨数字素养与相信和分享虚假信息之间的关系；第五段得出结论并提醒读者分享前要判断新闻真假。因此，本文属于“总—分—总”结构，选项D结构图符合题意。故选D。

“Have you ever heard that it’s impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times Actually, it is just a popular myth.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction. The paper is folded in half. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. ________ But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you’ll notice that it’s increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen Because the number of the layers (层) of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold, you’re left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it’ll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn’t sound much like a myth.
However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1.20-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding). She also developed a math rule. This is convenient. It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding.
Since Britney’s success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long!

【导语】本文介绍并否定了一个荒诞的说法——一张纸不能折叠七次以上。
1．推理判断题。根据“If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it’ll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds.”可知，假设纸的初始厚度为 h 厘米，折叠 n 次后的厚度为 H 厘米。每次折叠，纸的厚度都会翻倍。所以，折叠 n 次后的厚度 H 可以用以下公式表示：H = h × 2n。在这个问题中，h = 0.01 厘米，n = 7。计算结果为：H = 1.28 厘米。故选D。
2．词句猜测题。根据“But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you’ll notice that it’s increasingly hard to fold the paper. ”但当你进行第五次和第六次折叠时，你会注意到折叠纸张越来越困难，后面语义转折，可知对应的句子应该说明前几次折叠是容易的。故选A。
3． 篇章结构题。第一段总述了“一张纸不能折叠七次以上”是一种荒诞的说法；第二段介绍了这种说法的合理性；第三段和第四段用事实反驳了这种说法。故选C。
4．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，Britney Gallivan用事实证明了“一张纸不能折叠七次以上”的说法是错误的，由此可证，看似不可能的事可能是可以实现的，与D项表述相符。故选D。
5． 最佳标题题。本文主要介绍并否定了有关折纸的一个荒诞说法，C项“折纸的荒诞说法”符合文意，最适合当作文章标题。故选C。

The phrase “southern spuds” becomes popular, thanks to Harbin, a city in Northeastern China that has taken the Internet by storm.
Over 3 million tourists poured into Harbin during the three-day New Year holiday. And many of them came from southern China where snow was nowhere to be found. Harbin locals gave these visitors a cute nickname “nanfang xiaotudou” or “southern spuds”. It is because southern people are usually shorter and they look like small potatoes when wearing thick jackets and hats. To Harbin people, this name is not to make fun of southerners, but to create a sense of warmth with humor (幽默).
Harbin tried everything to meet tourists’ needs, especially those from the south. Cooks carefully cut the local frozen pear into small pieces. Symphony (交响乐) concerts find their way into shopping malls. A drone (无人机) lifts a man-made moon for tourists to take photos. Harbin really went all out to make them happy.
However, even though they did all these to please the southern tourists, this nickname “southern spuds” sparked a debate (辩论) on the Internet. While Harbin locals use the name to show warmth and goodwill, some sightseers feel that calling them “small potatoes” is making fun of their height (身高).
Even though people from the Northeast are sincere and warm, we have to admit (承认) that there is regional stereotype (地区刻板印象) in some parts of China. Nowadays, people travel all the time. Therefore, it’s important to make the world a more welcoming place. After all, everyone likes kindness and dislikes discrimination (歧视), whether (不论) it’s on purpose or not.
1．According to the second paragraph, why do Harbin people call southerners “southern spuds”
A．Because southerners like to eat small potatoes.
B．Because southerners sell small potatoes in Harbin.
C．Because southerners look like spuds in thick jackets and hats.
D．Because Harbin locals want to make fun of southerners’ height.
2．What is the main idea of the third paragraph
A．Southern travelers were very happy with Harbin tourism.
B．Harbin tried their best to attract tourists and make them happy.
C．Harbin cooks made some nice food for southern tourists.
D．Food, shopping malls, and the man-made moon attracted many tourists.
3．Why did some visitors dislike the nickname “small spuds”
A．Because they did not like to debate on the Internet.
B．Because they were not pleased with Harbin tourism.
C．Because they felt that Harbin locals thought they were short.
D．Because they believed that they did not look like small potatoes.
4．According to the last paragraph, how should we treat people from different places
A．We should be kind and welcoming.
B．We should not discriminate them on purpose.
C．We should do everything to make them happy.
D．We should treat them according to their stereotypes.

Automated Kitchens: Benefits and Risks
Do you think automated (自动化的) kitchens only exist in science fiction shows like Star Trek Well, think again! Nowadays, robots are already being used to do many things in the kitchen, like frying chicken, making pizzas, and preparing salads. And artificial intelligence (AI) can even create new recipes based on the ingredients available in a kitchen. There are also more advanced ideas being developed to make high-quality restaurant kitchens automated.
At first, because new technologies are usually expensive, it’s the restaurants and other businesses that start using AI kitchen technologies. But as time passes by, the prices will probably go down enough for ordinary families to afford. This will change how our homes and society work.
There are some good things about AI kitchens. For example, cooks don’t have to do boring jobs like peeling potatoes or standing in one place for hours. This saves time and lets people do more important things. AI can also provide different kinds of special diets and tastes to meet personal needs.
However, there are also problems. Cooking is not just about making food. It’s a good activity that helps people communicate and express themselves. If we don’t need humans to cook anymore, these good things might disappear. Family relationships might not be as good without the time spent together in the kitchen.
Moreover, the kitchen is like a science lab at home. It’s important for kids to learn about materials, chemistry, and how to solve problems through cooking.
We also have to think about cultural problems. Sometimes, AI might change traditional recipes and cooking methods because it doesn’t understand cultural details well. This could make the dishes less diverse. If we rely too much on technology for cooking, the food might taste the same. It’s similar to how AI art images look alike in different apps.
In conclusion, while new technologies bring convenience, they also have a price. We need to think about the possible problems they might cause in our society, especially when it comes to something as important as food in our daily lives.
1．Why are restaurants the first to use AI kitchen technologies, according to the text
A．They are more interested in automation.
B．They can afford the high costs.
C．They have more space for robots.
D．They want to attract more customers.
2．What is one potential benefit of AI kitchens mentioned in the article

C．Reducing kitchen waste. D．Improving family relationships.
3．If AI takes over cooking completely, what might happen to traditional cooking skills
A．They might be improved. B．They might be lost.
C．They might stay the same. D．They might become more popular.
4．What aspects may artificial intelligence kitchens have problems according to the article？
A．AI cannot understand cultural details and might change traditional recipes.
B．AI cannot provide special diets and tastes.
C．AI cannot reduce the price of kitchen technology.

5．What is the author’s attitude toward the widespread use of AI kitchens
A．Uncaring. B．Unclear. C．Positive. D．Cautious.

Do you smile after leaving a barber shop This question is being talked about a lot on the Internet again. It’s because a barber shop named Xiaohua in Hunan has become very popular through live-streaming.
Xiaohua has been open for 11 years. People like it because it has low prices and a great barber named Li Jing. Li Jing can always meet customers’ needs in the live-streams.
But Xiaohua is different from most barber shops. Many people still face problems like expensive prices and barbers who don’t understand what they want. A survey by China Youth Daily found that more than half of 1,314 people think the hairdressing service needs to be improved.
I have the same feeling. Barbers often don’t understand my needs. A simple cut often turns out bad. And they don’t thin my thick hair well. Bangs are the worst. Some cut them too long, some too short, and they all say it’s the best for my face or style.
Liu Zhensheng, 48, who has been a barber in Beijing for 33 years, said customer dissatisfaction is because of bad skills, confusion or barbers not listening. Some stores only promise to do the same style according to the pictures displayed by customers, without really discussing what customers want. But everyone’s hair, face, and bone structure are different, so getting a haircut may be disappointing.
Also, the prices in many barber shops are very high. Near my home, in a chain barber shop, the price for a simple haircut can be from 64 to 241 yuan depending on the barber’s title like “chief designer”, “technical director” or “creative director”. These titles are confusing.
Liu said high prices are because of the shop’s design, facilities, fame and service, not because of skills. But barber shops should focus on meeting customers’ needs.
The authorities should also pay attention to and reduce unfair prices. If the hairdressing industry could provide a price guide for services, that would be great. In the long run, sincerity is very important. Barbershops should listen to customers’ voices, pay attention to details, avoid playing tricks, and choose products carefully.

A．Because of its high prices.
B．Because of its good location.

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English It seems there is a scientific reason for this.
Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.
“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy (易记住的) and meaningful way, ” said Dr. Karen Luke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Luke writes, “A listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area. ”
Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D．C． , depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs with Chinese lyrics instead of English lyrics. So it’s easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids. ” “Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak much better English than now,”adds Hua Zhuying.
Our brain likes music, especially for remembering. So, if you’re still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out

①This spring, the movie YOLO became a huge hit in China, starting a “fitness (健身) fever”. However, some people need to think twice about their fitness programs.
②The movie tells the story of an overweight and jobless woman who is disconnected from society. However, after meeting a boxing coach and taking up the sport, she begins to turn her life around.
③“YOLO” is short for “you only live once”. It’s the message that Jia Ling, the director of the movie, wants to send to people. “The movie is not, about boxing or losing weight, but a warm-hearted story about learning to love yourself,” she said.
④Jia herself plays the lead role. She achieved a stunning weight loss of 50 kilograms within just 11months during the filming of the movie. When she appeared on the big screen with the new look, people were shocked. They talked about her weight loss training and praised her determination (决心) .
⑤However, some people disagree with Jia’s weight loss program . “Not everyone can manage to lose 50 kilograms in a short time,” said Jiang Chong, a fitness experts. “It’s not only a physical challenge but also a mental one.” In interviews, Jia stressed (强调) the importance of setting reachable goals when talking about her weight-loss journey. Jiang agrees with that.
⑥“It’s never bad to have such a movie that could remind so many people of the importance of keeping fit,” said Jiang. “But remember to lose weight in a healthy way. It needs a long-term goal that is made up of several reachable short-term goals: It’s better to create a realistic plan and stick to it instead of blindly trying excessive (过度的) exercise to lose weight.”

I am sure you know the story of the turtle (乌龟) and the rabbit. It taught people many lessons. One of these lessons is that people who have all the advantages (the fast-jumping rabbit) can be beaten by those who have nothing but inner (内心的) strength (the slow turtle).
It is true that the race of life, just like the one between the rabbit and the turtle, is often unfair. Some kids have all the luck. They were born healthy and their parents are rich. These kids wear nice clothes and they always have much money to spend on anything they like. Many other kids, however, have none of these things. Some of them were even born with disabilities. They have to depend on their inner strength alone.
While many people believe the “rabbits” are always successful, this is not true. In fact, the “turtles”—kids from poor families—have some of the most important things for success. They are humble (谦逊) and determined (有决心的). They march forward slowly but with great inner strength.
A student from Tsinghua University shared his personal experience online. Instead of having fun with his classmates outside, he chose to get a part-time job and study hard. He knew there would be plenty of time for fun once he had overcome all of the difficulties. His story may have encouraged “turtles”. The race of life is long. Even if you get off to a slow start, you can easily catch up if you make up your mind to do so.
1．Why does the writer mention the race between the turtle and the rabbit in the beginning
A．To raise a discussion. B．To draw a conclusion.
C．To tell a common story. D．To express the opinion.
2．What does the underlined sentence in Para. 2 probably mean according to the text
A．Not everyone’s starting point is the same.
B．All the people have different dreams.
C．People are treated differently in life.
D．Everyone wants to win the race.
3．What is the meaning of the underlined word “march” in the passage
A．Look. B．Move. C．Develop. D．Change.
4．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To advise us to try new things.
B．To tell us how to succeed quickly.
C．To show us the power of inner strength.
D．To encourage us to take races in life bravely.
5．What’s the theme (主题) of the text
A．Society and technology. B．Man and nature.
C．Education and learning. D．Culture and history.

①Growing up, I always took notes in class by hand. I would copy everything from the blackboard or slide (幻灯片) while listening to the teacher. When I entered college, I noticed that many students were using laptops (笔记本电脑) to take notes. Sometimes, I wondered: Should I change my note-taking habits Could I get better grades if I typed (打字) my notes instead of writing them by hand
②A study at Princeton University looked at different note-taking skills. The researchers asked pairs of students to take notes during an online course. In each pair, one student used a computer, and the other used pen and paper. The researchers found that the students performed similarly on fact-based (基于事实) questions. However, some questions required that the students answered what they had learned in the lesson. On these questions, the “typing or copying everything” students scored much lower. Interestingly, this study also found that students who didn’t copy the notes word for word scored higher. And this discovery (发现) made me improve my note-taking habits.
③“With laptops or your pen and paper, you can write a lot of things down,” said Michi Matsukura, one of my professors (教授). “The problem is, are you trying to understand what you’ re writing ”
④Now, “conceptual (概念化的) note taking”— focusing on big ideas, key terms, and interesting facts—simply makes more sense to us. We’ve found it more helpful in our studies than copying everything. It wasn’t easy to make this change, though. There was a fear of missing something when I first stopped writing down everything on the slide.
⑤It takes time and effort to discover and master the art of note taking. You can write your notes by hand or type them. You can copy word for word or try “conceptual note taking.” In the end, they are your notes. Just do what works best for you.

There are always worries about false information on social media. Believing false information could influence our personal and group health. But why do people believe false information they seed online One popular argument is that they are short of digital literacy (养), so they’re more likely to believe and share false information.
To explore the possible connections between one’s digital literacy and tendency (倾向) to believe false information, we surveyed 1,341 Americans. First, we showed them 24 news headlines—half of which were true and half of which were false. Then we tested their digital literacy. After that, they were asked to answer a question about different kinds of newsfeeds.
The survey found that digital literacy is indeed a good predictor (预测) of one’s ability to tell true information from what is false. But when we looked at the connection between digital literacy and the tendency to share false information with others, the results were different. Just like people who were less digitally literate, people who were more digitally literate were likely to share false articles as well.
Also, the results showed that even people with high digital literacy were not immune from sharing false news with others. This sounds strange. If you are better at telling the difference between the true and the false, why would you share false information As we look quickly through our news feeds, we often pay attention to feedback, such as how many “likes” our posts have received. It turns out that we often forget to ask ourselves whether a story is true or false before deciding to share it.
So, let’s all stop right now! Remember to ask ourselves whether the news we see is true before even thinking about clicking “share”.
1．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage
A．To explain the importance of digital literacy.
B．To introduce how to improve digital literacy.
C．To remind readers to protect personal information.
D．To explore why people share false information online.
2．What does the underlined phrase “immune from” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．Able to avoid. B．Glad to enjoy. C．Brave to stop. D．Willing to practice.
3．Which of the following is true
A．Nowadays, all people are more likely to believe and share false information.
B．According to the survey 14 news headlines were false.
C．Digital literacy can well predict one’s ability to tell true information from false.
D．Before deciding to share the story, we often know it is true.
4．What is the tone (语气) of the text
A．Angry B．Serious. C．Proud. D．Humorous.
5．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage

“Have you ever heard that it’s impossible to fold a piece of paper more than seven times Actually, it is just a popular myth.
The myth refers to folding a piece of paper in half many times in any direction. The paper is folded in half. Try it for yourself with a piece of notebook paper. ________ But when you make the fifth and sixth folds, you’ll notice that it’s increasingly hard to fold the paper. Why does it happen Because the number of the layers (层) of paper doubles with each fold. For example, after the sixth fold, you’re left with 64 layers of paper. If you have strong hands, you may be able to make that seventh fold. If you start with a piece of paper that is 0.01 centimeters thick, it’ll be as thick as a notebook after seven folds. And it would seem impossible to make more folds. At this point, you may be thinking that the paper-folding myth doesn’t sound much like a myth.
However, in 2002, a high school student named Britney Gallivan proved the idea wrong. Britney successfully folded a 1.20-meter-long roll of toilet paper 12 times (note that she used single-direction folding). She also developed a math rule. This is convenient. It allows you to find out the maximum (最大的) number of possible folds based on paper thickness, paper length, and direction of folding.
Since Britney’s success, many people have managed to fold a single piece of paper more than 7 times. Students even folded a piece of toilet paper a total of thirteen times. The toilet paper they used was about 4,000 meters long!
1．How thick is the notebook mentioned in the second paragraph
A．0.01 centimeters. B．0.07 centimeters.
C．0.64 centimeters. D．1.28 centimeters.
2．Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 2.
A．The first few folds are easy. B．It’s folded in the same direction.
C．It’s too thick to fold it. D．A paper can be used many times.
3．What would be the best structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
4．What can we learn from Britney Gallivan
A．Man doesn’t have a greater enemy than himself.
B．A man becomes smart by asking questions.
C．Knowledge is the most valuable of all things.
D．Things that seem impossible may be achievable.
5．Which of the following can be the best title
A．A Rule of Paper-Folding. B．A Paper-Folding Record.
C．The Paper-Folding Myth. D．The Art of Paper-Folding.
