Why Learn Languages in the Age of AI
On holiday, many will find themselves in foreign lands. Things are often different and new to them, ___1___
the language. In the past, they might have carried a dictionary with them. But nowadays more and more of them
are using free translation apps not only to understand a passage but also to talk. With the conversation part on
these apps, you can speak into the phone and ___2___ a spoken translation moments later.
Though that would always be helpful, some translation might ___3___ you. Take one of the best-known
translation apps as an example. If we say “I’m peanut butter-free” to it, in French or Italian, the app translates it as
“I’m without peanut butter.” It’s true to the words, ___4___ the meaning is totally wrong. The best tool may not
be a translation app at all.
Then how about an AI system Let’s try ChatGPT. Tell it “Write a message in Spanish to a waiter. I’m peanut
butter-free, so I’d like some sandwiches without peanut.” It produces a ___5___ passage. The AI system does
more than just translate. It’s more like a ___6___ dinner guide.
Some say that in this age of AI, people no longer need to learn a foreign language. Douglas Hobstadter, a
polyglot (a man who speaks or understands many languages) ___7___. He describes giving a difficult speech in
Chinese. It takes a lot of work without the help of AI, but in the end, you feel a sense of ___8___. Which would
you be proud of, climbing to the top of Qomolangma (珠穆朗玛峰) or taking a helicopter (直升飞机) there
As AI becomes more popular, people divide into two groups. Some go on learning languages. They want to
exercise their brains, learn a lot about other cultures and ___9___ chat with foreign friends. Others show their
___10___ to the language learners. “Good for you, but that’s a bit painful for me,” they might say.

Jane Austen (1775– 1817) was a famous British writer. This year is the 250th
anniversary (周年 ) of her birth. People around the world are celebrating her life and
work.
Born in England, Austen loved reading and writing from a young age. Her books
talk about men and women’s roles, power, school and marriage from a woman’s
point of view. For example, Pride and Prejudice (《傲慢与偏见》 ) tells the story of
Elizabeth Bennet and her four sisters. They face society’s ideas about love and marriage.
In Emma《( 爱玛》), a young woman tries to matchmake (做媒) friends in her village - but
her plans don’t always work!
Some people think Austen wrote only “love stories”, but others say she was a writer who explained
society’s problems. In Austen’s time, women had few rights. They couldn’t vote until 1918 or have control over
their own money until 1870. For many, marrying a rich or powerful man was the only way to have a safe future.
But Austen’s heroines (女主角) were different. They spoke up for themselves and wanted independence (独
立). “She’s writing about people and their problems, their difficult families and the questions of why, and even if,
women should marry. Those issues (议题) are still important now,” said Marilyn Joice, a Jane Austen expert.
Because her stories talk about timeless problems and ideas, Austen’s novels are still loved around the world
and have been made into many movies and TV shows.
14. What do we know about Jane Austen
A. She was an American writer.
B. She died 250 years ago.
C. She wrote two books in her life.
D. Her love stories show social problems.
15. How are Jane Austen’s heroines different from other women of her time
A. They are all happily married.
B. They are brave and independent.
C. They are beautiful and rich.
D. They experience a lot of difficulties.
16. Why do people still love Austen’s works according to the text
A. They are easy to understand.
B. They describe old British lives very well.
C. There are few works about women’s lives.
D. They talk about problems we still have.

To get a better idea of how far bees usually travel, researchers at Penn State
worked to develop a way to follow bees. Bees are usually studied in a lab or near one.
But the researchers wanted to develop a system that could work anywhere and be used
by anyone.
Researchers worked with engineers to create “AprilTags”, which are similar to
QR codes (二维码). These codes are easy for cameras to find and read, even when the
light isn’t good. They are smaller than a coin, and can be stuck on the back of bees
without causing any harm.
第3页 共 8 页
But sticking thousands of “AprilTags” was a lot of work. The researchers mainly studied young bees, tagging
(贴标签) 600 of them every two weeks. Over the spring and summer, the researchers tagged over 32,000 bees
spread across six different hives (蜂箱). By putting a camera powered by the sun and a tiny computer above the
door to each hive, the researchers could follow the tagged bees. They could show when each bee left the hive and
when it returned.
The new system gave the researchers a lot of information about the bees’ flying. They found that most trips
outside the hive took between one and four minutes. The researchers thought these short trips were used for quick
jobs like checking the weather. Even longer trips were shorter than 20 minutes. But about 34% of the bees took
trips that lasted longer than two hours. The researchers said this could show that the bees were making longer trips
to collect food. The researchers noticed that the bees spent more time out collecting when there were fewer
flowers around.
Researchers know that bees use a special “dance” to communicate with each other about where to collect
food. Now the researchers want to see how their new findings match up with the special dance. They plan to teach
beekeepers and other researchers how to use their system.
17. What are the advantages of “AprilTags” according to the passage
① Easy to read. ② Safe to bees. ③ Cheap to buy. ④ Small in size. ⑤ Shiny in the dark.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③⑤ D. ②④⑤
18. What does “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. The researchers. B. The tagged bees.
C. Six different hives. D. Cameras and computers.
19. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. Bees change their flying time according to the environment.
B. Short trips were used for dangerous jobs like checking weather.
C. About 66% of the bees took short trips between 1 and 4 minutes.
D. Young bees were chosen because they use the special dance better.
20. What is the best title for the passage
A. Following Young Bees with Cameras
B. Creating New Codes with Computers
C. Exploring Bees’ Flying with “AprilTags”
D. Helping Beekeepers with New Technology
D
Miss Martha Meacham kept the little bakery on the corner. At forty, she had two false teeth and a
sympathetic heart. She has two thousand dollars in the bank. Many people, who were not as good as Miss Martha,
had married.
A customer came in two or three times a week, and soon Miss Martha began to take an interest in him. He
was a quiet, middle-aged man, wearing glasses and a brown beard. ① His clothes were always old and
patched (缝补的). But he looked tidy and had very good manners. He always bought two loaves of stale (不新鲜
的) bread. Fresh bread was five cents a loaf, while stale loaves were two for five. ②
Once, while serving him, Miss Martha saw a red and brown mark on the customer’s fingers. ③ She
was sure then that he was an artist and very poor. No doubt he lived in an attic (阁楼), where he painted pictures,
ate stale bread and thought of the good things to eat in Miss Martha’s bakery. ④
Miss Martha’s heart was a sympathetic one. To check if she was right about his job, she took a painting from
第4页 共 8 页
her room and put it behind the bread counter (柜台). No artist could fail to notice it.
Two days later, the customer came in.
“Two loaves of stale bread, if you please.”
“You have here a fine picture, madam,” he said while she was packing the bread.
“Yes ” said Miss Martha, pleased with her cleverness. “Do you think it is a good picture ”
“The palace,” said the customer, “is not in good drawing. The perspective (透视画法 ) of it is not true.
Goodbye, madam.”
He took his bread, bowed and hurried out.
Yes, he must be an artist. How gently and kindly his eyes shone behind his glasses! To be able to judge
perspective at a quick look—and to live on stale bread! But talented people often have to go through difficulties
before they succeed.
What a thing it would be for art and perspective if genius were supported by two thousand dollars in the bank,
a bakery and a sympathetic heart—But these were daydreams.
Now, when he came, he would often chat for a while with Miss Martha. He kept on buying stale bread, never
a cake, never a pie. She thought he began to look thinner and lost heart. She wanted to offer something good to
him, but she was afraid of hurting him. She knew the pride of artists.
(To be continued)
21. We can put the sentence ‘Never did he call for anything but stale bread.” in
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
22. Why did Miss Martha put the painting behind the bread counter
A. To sell the painting to help the poor artist.
B. To test whether the customer was an artist.
C. To show her personal art collection and taste.
D. To decorate the shop and attract more customers.
23. Miss Martha had a “sympathetic” heart means she was kind to someone
A. who had a problem
B. who made mistakes
C. who achieved success
D. who laughed at others
24. What might happen later according to the last sentence of the story
A. Miss Martha would offer the man stale bread for free.
B. Miss Martha would lend some of her money to the man.
C. Miss Martha would secretly add something to the stale bread.
D. Miss Martha would give him fresh bread instead of stale one.
25. How does the writer mainly develop the story
A. By describing the setting in great detail.
B. By showing scenes between two locations.
C. By using long dialogues between characters.
D. By exploring Miss Martha’s thoughts and feelings.

Dealing with Culture Shock
Moving to a new country can be exciting，but it can also cause culture shock. This happens when you feel
confused（困惑） or uncomfortable in a new place. 26 Here are some useful ways to help you deal with
culture shock.
Learn the language
One of the most helpful things you can do is to learn the local language. Even knowing just a few words or
phrases can help you feel more connected and confident. Try to practice every day, even if it’s just for a few
minutes. 27
Keep an open mind
Every culture has its own way of doing things. If something seems strange or different，try to understand why
people do it that way. 28 Keeping an open mind will help you feel less disappointed (失望).
Stay connected with family and friends
Talking to people you trust can make a big difference. Use video calls, send messages, or share photos. This
will help you feel connected to home and reduce feelings of loneliness.
29
Don’t be afraid to try new foods，visit local places, or join activities. Sometimes, getting out of your comfort
zone can help you enjoy and get used to the new culture.
Give yourself time
Remember，it takes time to get used to a new place. 30 Every small step you take brings you closer
to feeling at home.
Culture shock is normal, but with a positive attitude and some creative ideas, you can turn it into a chance to
grow and learn!
A. Be patient with yourself.
B. Discover and try new things.
C. Ask questions and keep learning.
D. Often compare your progress to others.

Dear Jack,
I hope you’re doing well. Last month, while exploring traditional arts and crafts, I
discovered an 44 (attract) traditional toy from Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, called taiping
nijiaojiao. It looks like a simple toy, but it’s a whistle (哨子)! This toy has had a history of
over a thousand years. It came from Huashan village and it is 45 important part of
the local culture and traditions.
Taiping nijiaojiao is made from local mountain mud. The process (过程) of making it 46 (include)
more than ten steps. These toys come in many shapes like animals and plants, often 47 (show) traditional
cultural designs. In 2016, the art of making taiping nijiaojiao was 48 (add) to Jiangsu’s intangible cultural
heritage (非遗) list.
Once I 49 (hear) about the story of Zhou Baokang, an artist who loves this craft. About 20 years ago,
Zhou saw taiping nijiaojiao at a market in Huashan village and thought it was 50 (amaze). He loved art, so
he learned the skills from local artists. Now, he is very good at making these toys. He uses his imagination to
shape the mud 51 following any pre-made designs.
Zhou enjoys making animal-shaped whistles, especially those inspired by Chinese zodiac (生肖). In the year
of the tiger, he created tiger whistles, with big mouths and sharp teeth. His designs are influenced by traditional
Chinese xieyi 52 (paint), which are simple but very impressive (给人印象深刻的).
I thought you might find taiping nijiaojiao as interesting 53 I do, especially since you love traditional
arts and crafts. Maybe one day, we can visit Zhenjiang together and try making these lovely whistles.
Take care and hope to see you soon.
Best regards,
Rose

“Detective Lily, my valuable necklace is missing! It’s been passed down from my grandma. Can you help
me ” she cried.
Detective Lily promised to find the necklace and went to Mrs. Jenkins’ home. She started her investigation
(调查) in the bedroom where the necklace was last seen. She noticed an open window and a small piece of cloth
caught on the window. Muddy (泥泞的 ) footprints and strange marks on the floor near the window made her
suspect a break-in.
She then interviewed the household workers: Mr. Higgins, the cook; Miss Emily, the servant; and Mr. Wilson,
the gardener. Mr. Higgins explained he was in the kitchen, but his muddy shoes matched the prints by the window.
Miss Emily said she was cleaning the dining room, and Mr. Wilson insisted he was working in the garden.
Detective Lily followed the muddy footprints leading from the window to a small hut (小屋) at the garden.
Inside the hut, she found Mrs. Jenkins’ necklace hidden in a toolbox. Just then, Mr. Wilson arrived.
“Detective Lily, I found the necklace by the roses. I _____________________, but I really needed money to
pay for my mum’s operation. I’m sorry,” he said.
Lily understood his situation but told him stealing was not the answer. She then faced Mr. Higgins with the
proof (证据 ) of the coat and the mud. He admitted (承认) he had planned to steal the necklace but dropped it
while running away. He didn’t know Mr. Wilson had found it.
With the case solved, Detective Lily returned the necklace to an overjoyed Mrs. Jenkins, who thanked her
again and again. Soon, everyone in Elmwood knew about Detective Lily. Whenever someone needed help, they
knew they could depend on Detective Lily to solve the case.
