However, its origins can be traced back to the 1960s, when the US Defense Department developed ARPANET as a way to transmit data between different computers.ARPANET was succeeded by the NSFNET in the 1980s, which allowed universities and research institutions to connect to the network. In the 1990s, the commercialization of the Internet led to the development of websites and the World Wide Web, making information more accessible to the general public.Today, the Internet has become an integral part of people's lives, with almost everyone using it for communication, entertainment,work, and education. Its impact on society has been immense, leading to the emergence of new industries, changes in traditional industries, and the creation of a global online community.The future of the Internet looks promising, with new technologies and innovations emerging all the time. The development of AI, IoT, big data, and cloud computing is expected to further transform the way people use the Internet and interact with each other.希望这篇文章能够为您的初中英语学习提供一些帮助。

时文阅读精选一、爱的姿势澜涛（1）救援人员发现她的时候，她已经死了，是被跨塌下来的房子压死的。

透过废墟的间隙，救援人员看到她双膝跪地，整个上身向前匍匐着，双手扶地支撑着身体，有些像古人行跪拜礼，只是身体被压得变形了，看上去有些怪异。

救援人员从废墟的空隙间伸进手去，确认她已经死亡，又冲着废墟喊了几声，用撬棍在砖头上敲了几下，她都没有任何反应，废墟里也没有任何回应。

还有太多的被困者等待救援，救援人员立刻向新的目标搜寻，当救援人员在下一处废墟前探寻是否有生还者时，救援队长隐约听到从她那里传来婴孩的啼哭声。

救援人员立刻纷纷跑回她的尸体前，救援队长再次将手伸进她的尸体底下，仔细地摸索着，摸了几下，救援队长高声喊道“”有人，有个孩子，还活着！”（2）经过一番努力，救援人员小心地把挡着她的废墟清理开，在她的尸体下发现了一个包裹在红色带黄花的小被子里的、三四个月大的婴儿。

因为有她身体的庇护，婴儿毫发未伤。

（3）随行的医生过来解开被子准备给婴儿做些检查，发现有一部手机塞在被子里。

医生下意识地看了一下手机屏幕，发现屏幕上是一条已经写好的短信：“亲爱的宝贝，如果你能活着，一定要记住我爱你。

”（4）瞿万容是一位幼儿园老师。

地震发生时，她正和其他4名老师在校，照看着80多个孩子午睡。

她悄声和另外几名老师说，等孩子们午睡醒来后，她要教孩子们做一个她新学的游戏，她说的时候，脸上满是明媚和喜悦。

（5）然而，地震突然而至，欲将所有的美丽撕碎。

（6）5名老师，80个孩子。

将孩子们都疏散到安全地带成了老师们不可能完成的任务。

但老师们齐声喊了一句“救孩子”后，就转身冲向酣睡着的孩子，她也毫不迟疑地冲向一个孩子。

接下来，她都做了什么，无人得知。

（7）地震过去之后，只有30名孩子和两名老师生还。

当救援人员在废墟中发现她时，她扑在地上，后背上压着一块垮塌的水泥板，怀里紧抱着一个小孩。

小孩生还了，她却已经没有了呼吸。

——选自《读者》2008年12期1、“爱的姿势”在文中指什么？在“爱的姿势”下产生了什么奇迹？（用原文回答）2、文章第4、5、6三段在记叙顺序上属于，作用是什么？3、“她悄声和另外几名老师说，等孩子们午睡醒来后，她要教孩子们做一个她新学的游戏，她说的时候，脸上满是明媚和喜悦。

GY2016—2017时文选粹(一)

孙杨的痛哭流涕折射出谁的尴尬王旭不得不说，中国代表团在本届里约奥运会上的运气不好，担任冲击奥运首金任务的易思玲，赛前训练时突然出现枪械故障，等到修好了比赛也要开始了。

可能是受到这个突发事件的影响，这位卫冕冠军最终只在女子十米气步枪项目中拿到铜牌。

比赛结束后，易思玲难以控制自己的情绪，忍不住哭了起来。

无独有偶，同样担负冲击首金任务的孙杨，在男子400米自由泳中尽管创造了近三年来的个人最好成绩，但仍然以0.13秒之差输给澳大利亚小将霍顿。

走出泳池的孙杨同样没有忍住，趴在一名记者的肩头上痛哭流涕，好一会才平复情绪。

运动员失利后情绪出现波动是很正常的，但如果你了解到中国代表团首日的尴尬状况，就会对易思玲和孙杨的眼泪有一个深入的理解。

在首日进行的比赛中，中国队按照惯例向着奥运首金发起冲击，谁都没有想到的是竟然屡屡失手。

先是杜丽和易思玲这两位奥运冠军组成的双保险在女子十米气步枪中失灵，接着叶诗文在400米个人混合泳预赛就遭淘汰，孙一文在女子重剑中获得铜牌，中国女排2比3输给荷兰，中国男女篮分别惨败给美国和加拿大。

在这个开门见黑的首日历程中，没有任何一个人可以置身事外，无论是教练还是运动员。

易思玲和孙杨都泪流满面，可见他们承受的压力有多大，首金夺取的时间越晚，传递到下一个运动员身上的压力就越大，这是一种负能量的传递和蔓延。

跟处女情结一样，首金情结是中国人绕不过去的一个坎。

在我们的传统思维中，一个漂亮的开始就是成功的一半，在首金问题上中国军团总是奋勇争先，这枚金牌总是被赋予超越了比赛和冠军之外的意义。

历史中最著名的首金当然是许海峰在1984年洛杉矶奥运会上的惊世一枪，这是中国奥运历史上的首枚金牌。

此后的每一届奥运会的首金，都是大家瞩目的焦点，先拔头筹总是被认为是好彩头，以及吉祥如意的象征。

有意思的是，杜丽在2004年雅典奥运会和易思玲在2012年伦敦奥运会上的金牌，不仅是中国代表团的首金，更是那届奥运会的首金，这种壮举可以轻松占领世界主流媒体的头版头条。

A 阅读理解ChatGPT now has an upgrade (升级) with its new AI model, GPT-4o.But why “o”? It stands for “omni”, which means it can do “all things” in “all ways”. It is stronger than any of the GPT models that came before it.GPT-4o can understand orders through voice, text or images . It can also give answers in all these types of media, said its maker OpenAI. When chatting with you, it can respond as fast as a person can. “Talking to a computer has never felt really natural for me; now it does,” said OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a blog post.The new model may become your “new best friend” as it can help you with many things. It can teach you new languages, summarize a meeting and translate things really fast. But most helpful of all, GPT-4o can be your personal teacher.In a video on the OpenAI website, GPT-4o helped a boy named Imran Khan with a math problem. Instead of giving him the answer, it asked, “Do you remember the formula (公式)?” This helped Khan think step by step. When Khan made mistakes, GPT-4o gave hints (提示) and let him try again, instead of just telling him the answer. These abilities are making lots of people think and talk about the power of GPT-4o. “Teachers give classes to many students at the same time. Now with AI, each person’s learning experience is tailored (定制) to their requirements. It fits what a student needs,” a viewer of the video wrote online. But others also worry it might take away some teachers’ jobs.Still, many people see hope.

But it will soon have a visitor – China’s Chang’e 6 probe (探测器).The Chang’e 6 probe will be the first in the world to take stone and soil samples from the moon’s far side. The probe was launched successfully from Hainan on May 3.Humans have done 10 missions to the moon to bring back moon samples, including China’s Chang’e 5 mission in 2020. However, all these missions so far have visited the side of the moon that faces Earth.Because the moon turns at the same speed as it circles Earth, we can never see the far side of the moon. This makes it hard to stay in contact with any spacecraft that goes there.To help the Chang’e 6 space probe “talk” to Earth, China sent a new relay satellite (中继卫星) called Queqiao 2 into space to travel around the moon, helping send messages back.The Chang’e 6 probe also has new smart tools to help it collect samples better. “Even if the probe loses contact with Earth, it can do important work by itself,” Wang Qiong, deputy chief designer of the Chang’e 6 mission.The Chang’e 6 mission to the moon will take 53 days. During this time, the probe will go into orbit (轨道) around the moon and land in a place called the South Pole-Aitken Basin. It is a huge crater (撞击坑) on the far side of the moon. There, it will collect up to 2 kilograms of stone and soil to bring back to Earth. Scientists will study these samples to learn more about the moon.1. How is Chang’e 6’s mission different from other missions before it?A. People can see where the probe works from Earth.B. The mission will start from the moon’s near side.C. The probe will bring back stone and soil samples.D. The probe will work on the far side of the moon.2. What is the role of Queqiao 2?A. Sending the Chang’e 6 probe into orbit.B. Moving between Earth and the moon.C. Acting as a bridge between Earth and Chang’e 6.D. Helping people on Earth talk on the phone better.3. Why is it challenging to communicate with a spacecraft on the far side of the moon?A. The far side is always dark and cold.B. The far side is out of sight from Earth, making communication difficult.C. The Chang’e 6 probe does not have the necessary communication tools.D. The South Pole-Aitken Basin blocks communication signals.4. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Chang’e 6 mission will last over two months.B. Astronauts will collect 2 kilograms of moon samples.C. We can never see the South Pole-Aitken Basin on Earth.D. The probe completely depends on people’s control.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The Chang’e 6 probe is designed to study the moon's orbit.B. The Chang’e 6 mission marks a significant advancement in lunar exploration.C. The Queqiao 2 satellite is essential for space communication.D. The South Pole-Aitken Basin is the only place on the moon worth exploring.D篇：阅读理解From April 20 to 21, 21st Century and Beijing Language and Culture University co-hosted the Seminar on Gen Zer’s Role in Public Diplomacy (Z世代公共外交交流会) in Beijing. Over 100 teachers and students from across China gathered to discuss how students can have better public diplomacy skills by taking part in MUN activities.Wei Huacan, a 15-year-old from Qian Xuesen Middle School in Beijing, dreams of becoming a prosecutor (检察官). Having taken part in MUN and relevant activities for many times, he finds MUN super helpful for his future dream.“MUN activities cover lots of topics, not just diplomacy but also law and more. For example, the international court (法庭) in MUN really supports my law studies goals,” said Wei.MUN doesn’t just help students get closer to their big dreams; it also helps them do better in school.Eye-opening experience“MUN activities help students think more logically and quickly, making them better at speaking and debating in public,” said Zhang Lingyun, a teacher from Soochow Foreign Language School in Jiangsu. Her school has a special MUN class for students, with an MUN club for hands-on experience.Chen Wuyue, a student at Hangzhou Foreign Languages School in Zhejiang, has been taking part in MUN since grade 7.“When I represented other countries, I stand in their shoes to think and speak. This helps me form my own ideas, instead of just learning from books,” she said. Chen feels that MUN has opened her eyes to what’s happening all over the world, helping her look further than what’s just in the textbooks.Bridging the gapAs a fantastic way for young people to learn skills, MUN is growing fast in China. Take China Daily MUN (CDMUN) as an example. It covers over 200 schools across 26 provinces, autonomous regions and special administrative regions in China, according to Hu Linhui, director of the Training Department at 21st Century.CDMUN has helped schools in the east and west across China talk and learn more from each other. “Schools in the west are now using MUN to help mix different subjects together,just like schools in the east do,” said Hu.“This program has bridged the gap between schools and promoted educational fairness among different places.”１.What was the main topic of the Seminar on Gen Zer’s Role in Public Diplomacy?A.

It’s like being in an “echo chamber (信息茧房)” – a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you, and you don’t hear any different ones. This isn’t something new, but with everyone on social media, it’s happening a lot more now.Echo chambers are like invisible (看不见的) rooms on the internet where everyone agrees with you. Think about how people used to sit around a fire, telling stories that made everyone else all nod and smile. Now, we have the internet – our modern-day fire – where platforms let people from all over the world share their thoughts. Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That’s thanks to very clever algorithms (算法) - sets of rules that computers follow to figure out what you enjoy based on what you click on, like, and share online. These algorithms watch what we do on the internet to show us more information that matches our interests and even what our friends like.But, being in echo chambers can be a bit tricky (棘手的). They make us feel good because we’re surrounded by views we agree with, but they also make us see the world in a very limited way. This can make our opinions very fixed and make it hard for us to understand people who think differently. It might even make us feel more separated and worried because everyone outside our “bubble ” seems so different.Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. One big step is to challenge ourselves by looking for information from different sources . This means exploring more diverse or different things on the internet, reading different kinds of stories, and talking to people with other views. Also, ask questions about where information comes from, double-check facts and be open-minded. In this way, we can make sure we understand the wider world a lot better.1.What does the term “echo chamber” refer to?A. A physical room where people share stories.B. A place on the internet where everyone agrees with you.C. A social media platform for sharing personal ideas.D. A modern-day tool for telling stories around a fire.2.What role do algorithms play in creating echo chambers?A. They connect people with different views.B. They encourage people to share more stories.C. They promote diverse discussions on the internet.D. They limit the type of information people see.3 What might be a reason someone feels separated and worried in an echo chamber?A. They are unable to share their own stories.B. They are unable to access social media platforms.C. They don't have enough diverse information.D. They feel that everyone outside their bubble is very different.4. What can be inferred about the author's view on echo chambers?A. The author thinks echo chambers are beneficial for forming opinions.B. The author sees echo chambers as a natural part of social media.C. The author believes echo chambers can be limiting and should be avoided.D. The author thinks echo chambers are necessary for sharing personal ideas.5.What is the main idea of the passage?A. The history and development of social media platforms.B. The concept and effects of echo chambers on social media.C. The importance of algorithms in shaping our online experience.D. Strategies for promoting diverse discussions on the internet.F篇：阅读理解History is a tricky puzzle. It's dug up, written down and argued over. People always say that only the winners ever really get a say, and it's quite hard for historians to uncover the complete truth without any errors or bias.So what happens when history meets films? Can a Hollywood film get the history right and make an entertaining piece of art?Oscar winner Oppenheimer (《奥本海默》) sets a good example. In the film, the conversation between Oppenheimer and Albert Einstein by the lake is not historically accurate, but it feels natural in the whole story, and it serves as the icing on the cake (锦上添花), according to The Paper.There are many other examples like Oppenheimer. Usually, in a two-hour film, it is impossible to show the main character's entire complicated life. To make the story fun and dramatic, film makers need to take essential elements (元素) of the original history and create a new fiction. It's an inevitable and necessary choice.Meanwhile , the film Napoleon (《拿破仑》) shows that not all changes can be helpful. Many people think that the fictional parts of the film make the whole story messy since the storylines of war and love are both done poorly.There are many other examples of successful historical fiction films. It's possible that the very lack of historical precision (准确性) in these films, apart from the historical setting and character names, contributes to their greatness. They can present an attractive story set in a period that continues to be widely discussed in today's world. Whether you're into history or not, it's difficult to deny the emotional power these films bring to the screen.According to The Guardian, historical fiction becomes successful when the film provides an enjoyable experience, instead of aiming for strict historical accuracy. A historical film should be regarded as a work of historical fiction rather than a strict history lesson. Also, it seems unfair to ask that filmmakers strictly follow historians' events when historians often disagree among themselves.1.What is the main challenge historians face when uncovering history?A. The lack of physical evidence.B. The complexity of historical events.C. The bias of the winners' accounts.D. The difficulty of finding written records.2. How does the film Oppenheimer handle historical inaccuracies?A. It avoids creating fictional elements.B. It blends a non-factual conversation seamlessly.C. It focuses on the main character's entire life.D. It prioritizes historical accuracy over entertainment.3.What can be inferred about the film Napoleon?A. It is an example of a successful historical fiction film.B. It is praised for its accurate historical portrayal.C. Its fictional parts are considered to be chaotic.D. It focuses on the main character's emotional journey.4.What does The Guardian suggest about historical fiction films?A. They should always be historically accurate.B. They should be entertaining rather than strictly accurate.C. They should not be considered as works of art.D. They should only be made by professional historians.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. History is difficult to interpret accurately.B. Hollywood films cannot represent history correctly.C. Filmmakers should follow historians' accounts strictly.D. Historical fiction films should be entertaining and emotionally powerful.G篇：阅读理解Do you know that our lives are actually controlled by something called algorithms? But do we really get how they change the things we like and who we are?In a book called "Filterworld: How Algorithms Make Our Culture All the Same," a person named Kyle Chayka talks about how these smart computer rules, or algorithms, are on websites like Instagram and Spotify. They make our culture very same-y. What we like doesn't just come from us, but from these computer rules that want to keep us looking at our screens all the time. If what we like helps make us who we are, then this could be a bigger problem for how we think and feel than we think. Just mindlessly scrolling on Netflix or TikTok might not seem like a big deal, but after a while, we might forget what we really like.These taste-making computer rules are hard to escape. Chayka shows us this by talking about how they are in every part of life: like what we see on TikTok, where we eat when we use Google Maps, the music we listen to on Spotify, and even who we might want to go on a date with on Tinder. This world where computer rules make our decisions can change a lot of things about how we live and move around our towns and cities. It makes everything kind of flat and the same. No one can avoid this Filterworld completely.If you're lucky and don't have to use these computer rules for your work or school, you might be able to take a break from them sometimes. But what if your friend tells you about a movie they saw on the internet or you want to buy some shoes because everyone is wearing them after seeing them in an ad? It can feel like there's nothing you can do.But even though this Filterworld is hard to get away from, there is still hope. You can start by paying more attention to the things you choose to watch or listen to. This could mean learning more about a movie you saw or giving money to an artist you like. Even just telling a friend about a music album you think they might like is better than just mindlessly watching random stuff on TikTok. As Chayka says, to fight against these computer rules, "you have to really want to and choose to live your life in a different way."1. What does the term "algorithms" refer to in the context of the article?A. Rules that control our daily routines.B. Computer programs that decide what we see online.C. Games that we play on websites like Instagram.D. Ways to calculate our preferences in math.2. What is Kyle Chayka’s opinion on algorithms?A. They improve our tastes.B. They make our culture more alike.C. They help to identify our personality.D. They contribute to psychological problems.3. What might be a reason someone would feel helpless in the context of the article?A. They cannot understand how algorithms work.B. They are unable to stop using their favorite social media.C. They see a movie recommended by a friend on the internet.D. They want to buy shoes because of a social media advertisement.4. Which of the following is a way to resist the impact of algorithms?A. Limiting the use of social media platforms.B. Making choices based on friends’ suggestions.C. Getting more involved with the selected media.D. Disconnecting from social media advertisements.5. What is the best title for the text?A. Algorithms: Cultural TakeoverB. The Secret of AlgorithmsC. Social Media: Cultural MessengerD. The Rise of Digital Platforms— 11—。

高考时评类作文范文5篇

高考时评类作文范文5篇时评类文章本质上是一种研究性的议论文，主要是针对新闻或时文、时事、时人、时风等发表自己的看法。

以下是小编为大家整理推荐关于时评类的议论文范文，希望对大家有所帮助！时评类作文范文篇1：这也是一种承诺我要你重获原来的生活，认定了这一辈子的承诺。

这是著名歌手刘德华借已故艺人黄家驹所作之曲填词，并领衔香港众歌星演唱的赈灾歌曲。

每每听到这首歌，总不免心潮澎湃，倾(顷)刻之间我就成了汶川人。

512汶川地震过去一年多了，但太多太多的东西我们不能忘却，也不会忘却：有舍己救人的英雄，有与死亡之神对持(峙)几十小时甚至百余小时的坚强勇者，更有全国人民源源不断的救助物质(资)和爱心，就如前面歌词所提：让灾区人民尽快过上原来的生活。

我的博客和QQ空间上，有一张图片，也是全国人民非常熟悉的：一个男子将因地震而亡的妻子挷(绑)在身上，他要骑摩托车将亡妻背回家。

这张由CNN记者拍摄的照片，借着媒介和网络传遍了神州大地。

照片中的好男子吴家芳的事迹广为传颂，一时间有很多人将其奉为偶像，甚至有许多女性争嫁好儿郎。

吴家芳也成了因地震而知名的人物，刚建成的地震博物馆还将其摩托车永久收藏。

然而，狐狸尾巴终于露出来了(某网友语)。

在离512还没一周年之际，就传出了吴家芳的新婚。

一时网络哗然，指责声此起彼伏，众网友愤怒交加，大有被吴家芳忽悠、甩(耍)弄之感。

在很多人眼里，吴家芳不再是好男儿，而只是个虚伪的小人。

然而，我却要大声说不，他依然是个好男儿。

据说地震灾区灾民的自杀率非常高。

分析认为，是因为很多灾民还未从亲人逝去和财产损失中恢复过来。

因此，灾区的重建和灾民的心理治疗成为两项重要的任务。

就如《承诺》所唱那样：重获原来的生活。

而让灾区人民重获原来的生活不仅仅是政府的任务，更是全体炎黄子孙应尽的义务。

一年多了，我们仍在关心灾区建设，仍在关心灾区人民的生活。

我们无非是希望灾区人民早日从悲痛中走过来。

然而我们做到了吗?就如前面指责吴家芳的网友，他们做到了吗?没错，吴家芳是英雄，但他也是地震的受害者，他也需要别人关心，也需要别人帮助，也需要重获原来的生活，早日从阴影中走出来。

So in both East and West, we have festivals to celebrate family reunions. These festivals include Mid-Autumn Festival in China and Thanksgiving in the US. How are they celebrated and what are the differences? Let’s take a look.Sharing the moonlightWith delicious moon cakes hitting the shops, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives. It’s on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. In ancient China, the day was considered a harvest festival since fruits, vegetables and grain had been collected from the fields.The full moon is a symbol for family reunions (tuanyuan means reunion in Chinese, with yuan meaning round). Chinese people celebrate by coming together to eat, drink and be happy.On the day, food offerings (供品) are traditionally placed at altars (供桌) set up in old yards. Moon cakes are a special festival food.When it gets dark, people look up at the full moon and drink wine to celebrate or remember friends and relatives who are far from home. “Though miles apart, could men but live forever dreaming they shared this moonlight endlessly! (但愿人长久，千里共婵娟)” wrote Song Dynasty poet Su Shi.Showing our thanksThanksgiving is on the fourth Thursday of November. The first Thanksgiving was in December of 1621. About 100 English people took a ship, the Mayflower, to a place they named Plymouth in the northeastern US. The winter there was very cold and life was difficult. The American Indians (印第安人) helped them a lot. The English peopleinvited the American Indians to have a big meal to thank them for all of their help. The celebration lasted for three days.Today, people usually have a family meal on Thanksgiving. They enjoy delicious food such as pumpkins, corn and a big, golden turkey.There are other traditions on the day. For example, the turkey has a V-shaped bone in the breast. It’s called a wishbone. After roasting, two people each take one end of the bone. They make a wish and then pull. If you get the larger part of the bone, you will get good luck.The most important part of Thanksgiving is to say “thanks” – this is the spirit of the holiday. People also like to watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade (游行) on TV or play American football.1.What do people usually do on the Mid-Autumn Festival?a. harvest crops.b. get together with familyc. eat mooncakesd. remember friends and family far awaye. write poetryA. abcB. bcdC. cdeD. ade2.

There are interesting stories behind some cuisine(菜肴), as well as table manners relating to tableware (餐具).HotpotHotpot has been popular among Chinese people for a long time. As early as in the Shang Dynasty (c.16thcentury–11th century BC), people boiled foods in bronze cauldrons(青铜鼎). The cauldron had two parts – one was the pot to cook foods in soup, and the other part was a layer (层) or a space inside the cauldron to hold firewood. People started to have lattice (分格的) hotpot during the Han Dynasty (206 BC–AD 220). They divided pots into several parts to enjoy different flavors (口味).Yuan Mei was a poet and foodie (美食家) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). He mentioned huoguo, the Chinese name for hotpot, in a book about all kinds of food. At that time, hotpot was very popular. People put all kinds of meat and vegetables into the hotpot. They also used different materials, such as copper (铜) and iron (铁), to make pots. Dongpo porkThere is a famous Chinese dish called “Dongpo pork”. Does it have anything to do with the great poet Su Dongpo?Yes. Su Dongpo (Su Shi) was a poet who lived during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). He was the first to make this dish. When he was a local official in Huangzhou, Hubei, he fell in love with cooking pork. In his article Ode to Pork (《猪肉颂》), Su wrote about how to cook it.According to folk stories, the dish became well-known when Su went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang, to take office. One day, there was a big flood and Su went out to help people. People heard that Su loved eating pork, so they gave him a lot of it.But Su wanted to give it back. He cooked the pork in his own special way. Then he gave the dish to every family in the city and every worker on the street. Very soon the dish became famous in Hangzhou and got the name “Dongpo pork”.ChopsticksWhat are the dos and don’ts of using chopsticks?For Chinese people, chopsticks are not just simple tools to pick up food. They come with their own special rules and traditions.First, people should not make noise with chopsticks. Playing with chopsticks is seen as rude, just as playing with forks and knives in a Western country is.There are also some superstitions (迷信) related to chopsticks. For example, some people believe that chopsticks should not be left standing upright in a bowl. It looks like the incense (香) that Chinese people use to honor (祭奠) the dead. Doing it at the dinner table is believed to bring bad luck.You should not tap chopsticks on the edge (边缘) of the bowl either, as beggars do this to ask for food.1. When did people start to have lattice hotpots?A. During the Shang Dynasty.B. During the Qin Dynasty.C. During the Han Dynasty.D. During the Qing Dynasty.2. According to the story, what did Yuan Mei do?A. He added a layer of space to the bronze cauldrons.B. He wrote about hotpot in his book about cuisine.C. He taught people to cook meat and vegetables together.D. He used different materials to make pots.3. “Dongpo pork” was named after Su Dongpo because _____.A. he created the dishB. he wrote a poem to praise the dishC. he spread the dish to more citiesD. people made the dish to remember him4. People gave Su a lot of pork after he fought the flood because _____.A. Su tried hard to help themB. they wanted Su to praise their porkC. they wanted Su to cook pork for themD. they wanted to learn how to cook pork5. What is a taboo（禁忌）when Chinese people are using chopsticks?A. Using chopsticks to pick up food for guests.B. Laying chopsticks sideways on the table.C. Sticking chopsticks in the food and leaving them upright.D. Picking up things other than food with chopsticksD，阅读理解During the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), King Zhao of the State of Yan (燕昭王) wanted to gather talented people to make the state strong. He asked the scholar (有学问的人) Guo Weifor advice. Guo told the king a story.In ancient times, there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse. This horsecould run 1,000 li a day. It was called qianlima. He sent many people to find thesehorses and buy them for him. After three years, nobody found him such a horse.One day, someone new volunteered to help. Within three months, he heard abouta qianlima. He rushed to find it, but the horse was already dead. Still, he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.The king was very angry. “What I want is a live horse, not the bones of a dead horse!”The man answered calmly (冷静地), “Imagine this. You’re willing to pay a high price for a dead horse, let alonea live one. This shows people you truly wish to buy the horses. Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon.”Indeed (的确), within a year, many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. “If I am valued (重视), more talent will be willing (愿意的) to serve the state,” he said. The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher. Soon, talented people across the state came to help the king. His state finally beat the State of Qi.We can better understand the story by reading the essay (文章) On Horses (《马说》) by Han Yu, a writer in the Tang Dynasty. In the essay, Han wrote that qianlima are common, but a person who can find them is rare. It tells us that talented people are common. Finding them is difficult.The story helps us understand that talented people are important to society. They deserve (应得) respect. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officials, asking them to respect talented people. More importantly, the story pushes us to think about our own talents. It means to develop your all-around (全面的) abilities and create opportunities for yourself. Instead of waiting for someone to find you, you can actively sell yourself.1. What did King Zhao of the State Yan actually want to have?A. Talented people.B. Qianlima.C. The bones of a qianlima.D. Wealth.2. In Guo’s story, the king got angry with the man because he thought _____.A. qianlima weren’t the best horses in the worldB. there wasn’t a qianlima in the worldC. the bones were not from a qianlimaD. a dead horse was of no use at all3. What was the man’s reason for buying the bones of a dead horse?A. It could help the king gather talented people.B. Horse owners would see the king’s need for qianlima.C. More people would kill their horses to sell horse bones.D. The king could tell qianlima from common horses this way.4. Guo compared himself to _____ in the story he told.A. the volunteerB. the kingC. the bones of a dead qianlimaD. the qianlima ownerE，阅读理解During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), Emperor Taizong asked the prime minister (宰相) Feng Deyi to recommend (推荐) talented people. However, several months passed, Feng didn’t recommend anyone.“I tried my best, but there are not unusual and well-rounded people at all,” Feng said.“People are like utensils (器物). What we need to do is to make good use of their strengths. You should blame (责怪) yourself for not noticing talented people. How could you say that there are no talented people in our era?” said the emperor.Indeed (的确), each utensil or tool has a specific function (功能). A knife is made to cut things while chopsticks are made to pick up food. We can’t use a knife as a chopstick. Like a utensil, each person has a particular strength. Nobody is perfect. We can’t expect a person to be good at everything.With this idea in mind, Emperor Taizong discovered many talented people of different backgrounds. He offered them important positions , which helped them make the most of their talents. His talented people helped the society develop and created a “golden age”.A good example is Ma Zhou, who grew up in a poor family. Ma gave a lot of useful advice, so Emperor Taizong offered him a position and promoted (晋升) him many times. Ma helped the emperor deal with complicated issues and became a well-known person in history.Chang Sheng, Chinese teacher at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China explains as followings:As long as a person is talented in one aspect, we should give them a chance. The same idea can be found in the Analects of Confucius (《论语》). Treating people as utensils shows not only good leadership, but a sincere and inclusive (包容的) attitude. President Xi Jinping once told this story to officials, asking them to value talented people.Today, as the division of labor (劳动分工) in society is becoming clearer, the idea still makes sense. If we become leaders someday, we should help others give full play to their strengths. For example, Liu Bang, the founder of Han Dynasty (206BC-AD220), let Zhang Liang and Xiao He work as advisors for their wisdom while inviting Han Xin to lead the army for his war strategies. Known as the “three heroes of the early Han Dynasty”, they helped Liu builda strong dynasty.1. Why couldn’t Feng Deyi find any talented people in Taizong’s opinion?A. There were no talented people then.B. His standards were wrong.C. He was afraid of being replaced.D. He was dissatisfied with the emperor.2. Knives and chopsticks are compared to _____.A. positionsB. strengthsC. toolsD. people3. Ma Zhou is a good example of people who _____.A. have no talent but are still usefulB. are unusual and well-roundedC. know when to take a chanceD. show talent in the right field4. What might be Chang Sheng’s opinion?A. People with any talent should be valued.B. Talented people are difficult to discover.C. Using people as tools is taking advantage of them.D. Using people as tools doesn’t work today.5. What is the main message of the story?A. Opportunity only comes to those who are prepared.B. There is no such thing as a great talent without great willpower.C. Talented people should be valued and led to the right place.D. Pearls are everywhere but not the same as eyes.完形填空Cloze 1Zu Ti was a great man of Jin Dynasty. He was ____1____ for his hard work and great achievements.

A 阅读理解Folke Borgstrom, a 18-year-old from Sweden, bought a jade (玉) necklace in Beijing. He came to China to take part in the 16th “Chinese Bridge” Chinese Proficiency Competition for Foreign Secondary School Students in Beijing and Yunnan from Oct 16 to Oct 30.Borgstrom knew about jade from a Chinese costume drama. “A main character looks so noble (高贵的) and cool with jade,” Borgstrom said. After doing some online research on jade, he found out that it’s highly valued in Chinese culture. “As a symbol of virtue, jade is believed to have the power to bring good fortune,” Borgstrom added. He became fascinated with Chinese culture through the window of Chinese costume drama.When it comes to promoting Chinese culture internationally, we often think of traditional ways, like setting up cultural exchange programs. However, Chinese pop culture, such as Chinese costume drama, has become a growing vehicle for cultural transmission.Chulkyu Lee from South Korea, 16, likes to browse TikTok for short videos featuring Chinese pop culture. Recently, he put the Chinese TikTok hit pop music track My Surname is Shi (《我姓石》) on repeat.“Through TikTok, I’ve also seen many real-life moments recorded by ordinary Chinese people, which lets me know more about the daily lives of Chinese people and the real China,” said Lee.Yang Yao, a program designer who has worked in international broadcasting for eight years with Yunnan Media Group, believes that more creative ways for spreading Chinese culture should be adopted. He takes Japan and South Korea as examples of this. “You may not know the meaning of Japanese samurai (武士), but anime (日本动漫) lets you gradually accept concepts like ninjas (忍者) in Japanese culture. You may not specialize in the history of the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392, 高丽王朝), but through South Korean dramas, you come to understand its cuisine like kimchi (韩国泡菜),” said Yang. China’s culture can go abroad in the similar way, said Yang.1. Why does the writer use Borgstrom’s story?A. To show the importance of the “Chinese Bridge” program.B. To suggest some good Chinese TV series.C. To introduce a smart way of cultural promotion.D. To talk about the cultural meaning of Chinese jade.2. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A. How to learn about Chinese people’s daily lives.B. What Chulkyu Lee thinks of the real lives of Chinese people.C. The Chinese apps Chulkyu Lee often uses.D. The role of short TikTok videos in cultural exchange.3. How does watching short videos recorded by ordinary Chinese people influence Chulkyu Lee?A. It deepens his understanding of China.B. It raises his interest in learning Chinese.C. It leads him to explore Chinese music.D. It provides an escape from his boring life.4. Why does Yang Yao mention Japanese anime and South Korean dramas?A. To compare different forms of cultural media.B. To stress the importance of cultural exchange.C. To suggest creative ways to promote Chinese culture.D. To show the popularity of Japanese and South Korean culture.5. In the passage, how does the writer mainly give information?A. By using famous people’s sayings.B. By giving examples.C. By sharing their personal feelings.D. By comparing one thing with another.【答案】CDACB【解析】这篇文章的主要主题是使用中国流行文化来推广和传播中国文化。

I’m going to say—Magic is in me! And you must all say it, too. That is my experiment. Are you going to help, Ben Weatherstaff?”“Yes, sir!” answered Ben Weatherstaff.They sat down in a circle. The crow, the fox, the squirrels and the lamb were very curious.“Now, let’s begin,” Colin said, and they all started chanting（吟唱）.“Magic is in me. Magic is in me. Magic is in all of us.”Then Colin stood up and walked round the garden. He went in front with Dickon on one side and Mary on the other. Ben Weatherstaff walked behind.Colin walked a bit then rested.

He looked at the gold and silver.“The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold,silver, and jewels.

Take Yuanxi as an example, she still doesn’t have much human touch and EQ. These are something that only a real human can have. What’s more, virtual people can’t team up and communicate with others in real time.As Yuanxi wrote, “Virtual employees (员工) [show] the power (力量) of [AI] but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.”阅读表达：1.Why is it said that AI humans now can be like real people?2.Do digital humans appear only in one way today?3.Who are the digital humans mentioned in the text?4.When did Baidu show its first digital idol Xi Jiajia?5.What can Xi Jiajia do?6.According to the text, what can only be done by AI but not humans?7.What do you think of AI humans?
