Why do Fish Travel in Schools (群)
Have you ever seen fish swimming together in a school It’s quite an amazing sight! They move together, turning and changing directions at the same time. It makes you wonder: 1 In fact, the answer is no. Each fish finds its own direction. Researchers George Lauder from Harvard University and Yangfan Zhang have studied this for a long time. Now, they have discovered that fish can save a lot of energy by schooling.
In the experiment, the two researchers put giant danio, a fish that likes to swim in schools, in a tank (水箱). 2 Other times, they put just one fish in. As we all know, by measuring (测量) how much O2 people use when exercising, we can know how much energy people use. The method also goes for fish. 3
The results were interesting and clear. Schooling fish used less O2 than those swimming alone. And they took less time to become energetic again. 4 The researchers repeated this experiment five times to make sure the results were right. By schooling, fish can save energy for other important things, says Frank Fish from West Chester University. 5 For adults, they can use the saved energy to have babies or to stay away from animals that want to eat them.
So, next time you see fish swimming in schools, you’ll know it’s not just a beautiful sight—it’s also a smart living skill for them.
A．Why do they swim in a school
B．Is there someone directing them how to move
C．Adult fish in a school are not afraid of anything.
D．In other words, they were full of energy in a shorter time.
E．Sometimes, the researchers put eight fish in a tank at a time.
F．For example, young fish can put the saved energy into growth.
G．So researchers used a special machine to measure how much O2 fish used when swimming.
【答案】1．B 2．E 3．G 4．D 5．F
【导语】本文主要介绍鱼为何会成群游动。
1．根据“It makes you wonder: ... In fact, the answer is no. Each fish finds its own direction.”可知，鱼群同步游动令人好奇，后文直接否定“事实上，答案是否定的。每条鱼自己找方向。”选项B“是否有专人指挥它们的行动方向？”符合语境，故选B。
2．根据“In the experiment, the two researchers put giant danio, a fish that likes to swim in schools, in a tank (水箱). ... Other times, they put just one fish in.”可知，有时研究人员一次放八条鱼。这直接补充“有时”的细节，与“其他时间只放一条鱼”形成对比。选项E“有时，研究人员会一次性将八条鱼放入一个水箱中。”符合语境，故选E。
3．根据“As we all know, by measuring (测量) how much O2 people use when exercising, we can know how much energy people use. The method also goes for fish.”可知，通过测量人们在运动时消耗的氧气量，我们就能知道他们消耗了多少能量。这种方法同样适用于鱼类。选项G“因此，研究人员使用了一台特殊的仪器来测量鱼在游动时消耗的氧气量。”符合语境，故选G。
4．根据“And they took less time to become energetic again.”可知，它们恢复精力所需的时间也更短了。选项D“换句话说，它们在较短的时间内就充满了活力。”符合语境，故选D。

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has developed quickly and has become very popular. It is changing our life in different ways. AI is the art of training computers to “think” and have a “brain”. It allows devices (设备) to help us do things by programming and coding. 26 Then it could repeat the job over and over again.
AI makes our daily lives easier. It could work all the time and can reduce human mistakes. 27 Doctors use AI to look over patients. Astronauts use AI for discovering planets. Artists use AI to make art works. Teachers use it to prepare for lessons, while students use it to find learning materials. These are only a few examples of AI. In our daily lives, we see and use AI here and there.
28 One of the problems is that AI can’t develop a child’s confidence and creativity like teachers. Another problem is that AI devices would go out of control and have their own “opinions”. 29 So you see, AI is a technology we still need to improve.
In the future, AI may get better and better. Maybe one day, AI could help us do things in smarter ways, such as doing science experiments and going to outer space. 30 But this technology is sure to be a great success in our inventing history. We can expect more amazing things from AI in the future.
A．For example, some self-driving cars could go out of control and cause car accidents.
B．The device is taught to drive a car or do other human-like things.
C．Although AI makes our lives easier, it also has problems.
D．AI can be helpful to both students and teachers.

Because of modern medicine, millions of people now live longer, healthier lives, and we are developing new ways to fight diseases (疾病) all the time. 31
In the past, most people worked on their feet and moved their bodies all day, so they had lots of exercise. 32 Today, many people sit in front of a computer all day at work, and often eat a lot of sweet foods, or foods that are made in factories. This can be a big danger to their health.
The disease that causes most deaths in the world today—three in every ten—is heart disease. But many of these deaths need not happen, and are caused because people have not exercised or eaten well enough. Not exercising, or eating unhealthy food, can sometimes cause another dangerous disease-diabetes (糖尿病). 33 In the last twenty years, there has been a big rise in the number of deaths from diabetes.
Smoking is another very big health problem and it causes more than seven million deaths a year. There are lots of very dangerous chemicals in cigarettes (香烟), so smokers can get many diseases. Around the world, fewer people smoke today than twenty years ago, but there were still more than 1.2 billion smokers in 2025. 34 Nearly half of all the children in the world are taking cigarette smoke into their bodies every day because they have to spend time near people who smoke.
35 When people sit for too long in front of a computer, they can get problems with their eyes, arms, necks, and backs. And when they use computers and cell phones at night, it is often more difficult for them to sleep. Some scientists also think that cell phones may cause health problems because of a kind of energy which they produce called radiation (辐射).
A．This is not just a health problem for cigarette smokers.
B．But in a changing world, there are changing health problems.
C．When someone has diabetes, there is too much sugar in their blood.
D．They also mostly ate natural foods like fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat.
E．Some diseases can move from animals to people, and they can spread very fast.
F．People also worry about new health problems caused by computers and cell phones.

Fried duck doesn’t taste as good as fried chicken
On the menus of fast food restaurants, there always seem to be many fried chicken dishes. But have you wondered why there is no fried duck
[A] 36
[B] Fried duck is not as cheap as chicken.
[C] Fried duck carries bad bacteria (细菌).
[D] Fried duck is not as delicious as fried chicken.
The right answer is [D]. Although chickens and ducks are both raised for meat, they have very different qualities.
37 Ducks live in places where there is a lot of water, making it easier for bacteria to grow. To protect themselves from the bacteria, ducks have special genes (基因). 38 While chickens’ meat usually has 6.7% fat (脂肪), duck meat has about 19.7%. 39 Also, as duck meat has thicker meat fibers (纤维) and less water, the frying process will make it taste very dry.
40 Near the tail, there is a part that makes oil to keep them warm. This oil smells like sheep meat and can be unpleasant when the duck is fried.
A．They also help ducks grow fat.
B．Fried duck is difficult to make.
C．Moreover, ducks have a special smell.
D．If fried, the duck meat can taste very oily.
E．Different from ducks, chickens can’t swim.
F．Fried duck is very popular among young people.

Chopsticks are a pair of sticks to be used when eating. 46 Chopsticks are considered one of the symbols of Chinese food culture. Here are three things you should know about them.
47
Chinese people started to use chopsticks about 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty. During the pre-Qin period, chopsticks were called “Jia”, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, they were called “Zhu”. Because “Zhu” shares the same pronunciation with “stop” in Chinese, which is an unlucky word, by the Ming Dynasty, people began to call them “Kuai”, meaning “fast” in Chinese. 48
Who invented chopsticks

Today researchers announced that they have found tiny pieces of plastic—microplastics (微塑料) in water from around the world. These pieces are so small that they are unseen to the naked eye (裸眼) and are very difficult to clean from the water. 66
Even worse, the plastic has also been found in drinking water across the world, which makes people worried. 67 Scientists do not know what level of harm this will do to us in the future.

Almost every country across the world agrees that we cannot continue using so much plastic in our lives. 69 We also need to introduce new duties and other means to encourage companies to choose environment-friendly things and recyclable packaging (包装) for their products.
We need to take personal responsibility, too. We all may have the freedom to choose how we spend our money and what kinds of business and products we support. Let’s work together to protect our environment, both now and for the future. 70

Animals use senses to find food and stay out of danger. People use them to find out what is happening with their bodies and in the world around them. You probably know about the five basic senses: hearing, seeing, smell, touch and taste. 71
Pain Sense
Pain might be regarded as part of the sense of touch. Actually, it isn’t. People and other animals can feel pain even when nothing is touching them. 72 It can also warm people to stop or change what they are doing before they get hurt.
Temperature Sense
People can sense the changes in temperature. In winter, many old people move from the cold place to the warm place. The same thing happens to animals. 73 So they have the habit of winter sleep.
Time Sense
Scientists think humans have the best sense of time. But probably other animals sense it, too. For example, dogs will wait at the door at a certain time. 74
Using Sounds to “See”
Some animals can “see” the things around them in the dark. 75 By making sounds and listening to echoes (回声), some whales and birds have this unusual sense.
In a word, many other senses are also being studied besides the senses above. As you explore the world, think about the other senses that animals, including you, use every day.
阅读短文，把A～E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整。
A．How do they find where things are

I went to bed with the hall light on and the door slightly open.
Later on, I borrowed Jill Tomlinson’s book The Owl (猫头鹰) Who Was Afraid of the Dark from the library and fell in love with the baby owl, Plop, who learns through others that dark can be exciting, kind, fun, necessary, beautiful and super. 77 In this book, all the animals that are shown on the signs of a village’s stores climb down at midnight. One of the signs is an owl, and this book has a beautiful watercolor owl on the cover.
78 I began to see the possibilities of the dark, but I still preferred to meet it with a safety cordon (防护线) of light.

It makes you wonder: 1 In fact, the answer is no. Each fish finds its own direction. Researchers George Lauder from Harvard University and Yangfan Zhang have studied this for a long time. Now, they have discovered that fish can save a lot of energy by schooling.
In the experiment, the two researchers put giant danio, a fish that likes to swim in schools, in a tank (水箱). 2 Other times, they put just one fish in. As we all know, by measuring (测量) how much O2 people use when exercising, we can know how much energy people use. The method also goes for fish. 3
The results were interesting and clear. Schooling fish used less O2 than those swimming alone. And they took less time to become energetic again. 4 The researchers repeated this experiment five times to make sure the results were right. By schooling, fish can save energy for other important things, says Frank Fish from West Chester University. 5 For adults, they can use the saved energy to have babies or to stay away from animals that want to eat them.
So, next time you see fish swimming in schools, you’ll know it’s not just a beautiful sight—it’s also a smart living skill for them.
A．Why do they swim in a school
B．Is there someone directing them how to move
C．Adult fish in a school are not afraid of anything.
D．In other words, they were full of energy in a shorter time.
E．Sometimes, the researchers put eight fish in a tank at a time.
F．For example, young fish can put the saved energy into growth.
G．So researchers used a special machine to measure how much O2 fish used when swimming.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has developed quickly and has become very popular. It is changing our life in different ways. AI is the art of training computers to “think” and have a “brain”. It allows devices (设备) to help us do things by programming and coding. 26 Then it could repeat the job over and over again.
AI makes our daily lives easier. It could work all the time and can reduce human mistakes. 27 Doctors use AI to look over patients. Astronauts use AI for discovering planets. Artists use AI to make art works. Teachers use it to prepare for lessons, while students use it to find learning materials. These are only a few examples of AI. In our daily lives, we see and use AI here and there.
28 One of the problems is that AI can’t develop a child’s confidence and creativity like teachers. Another problem is that AI devices would go out of control and have their own “opinions”. 29 So you see, AI is a technology we still need to improve.
In the future, AI may get better and better. Maybe one day, AI could help us do things in smarter ways, such as doing science experiments and going to outer space. 30 But this technology is sure to be a great success in our inventing history. We can expect more amazing things from AI in the future.
A．For example, some self-driving cars could go out of control and cause car accidents.
B．The device is taught to drive a car or do other human-like things.
C．Although AI makes our lives easier, it also has problems.
D．AI can be helpful to both students and teachers.
E．We never know how AI will develop.
F．It shows great ability in different fields.

Because of modern medicine, millions of people now live longer, healthier lives, and we are developing new ways to fight diseases (疾病) all the time. 31
In the past, most people worked on their feet and moved their bodies all day, so they had lots of exercise. 32 Today, many people sit in front of a computer all day at work, and often eat a lot of sweet foods, or foods that are made in factories. This can be a big danger to their health.
The disease that causes most deaths in the world today—three in every ten—is heart disease. But many of these deaths need not happen, and are caused because people have not exercised or eaten well enough. Not exercising, or eating unhealthy food, can sometimes cause another dangerous disease-diabetes (糖尿病). 33 In the last twenty years, there has been a big rise in the number of deaths from diabetes.
Smoking is another very big health problem and it causes more than seven million deaths a year. There are lots of very dangerous chemicals in cigarettes (香烟), so smokers can get many diseases. Around the world, fewer people smoke today than twenty years ago, but there were still more than 1.2 billion smokers in 2025. 34 Nearly half of all the children in the world are taking cigarette smoke into their bodies every day because they have to spend time near people who smoke.
35 When people sit for too long in front of a computer, they can get problems with their eyes, arms, necks, and backs. And when they use computers and cell phones at night, it is often more difficult for them to sleep. Some scientists also think that cell phones may cause health problems because of a kind of energy which they produce called radiation (辐射).
A．This is not just a health problem for cigarette smokers.
B．But in a changing world, there are changing health problems.
C．When someone has diabetes, there is too much sugar in their blood.
D．They also mostly ate natural foods like fruit, vegetables, fish, and meat.
E．Some diseases can move from animals to people, and they can spread very fast.
F．People also worry about new health problems caused by computers and cell phones.

Fried duck doesn’t taste as good as fried chicken
On the menus of fast food restaurants, there always seem to be many fried chicken dishes. But have you wondered why there is no fried duck
[A] 36
[B] Fried duck is not as cheap as chicken.
[C] Fried duck carries bad bacteria (细菌).
[D] Fried duck is not as delicious as fried chicken.
The right answer is [D]. Although chickens and ducks are both raised for meat, they have very different qualities.
37 Ducks live in places where there is a lot of water, making it easier for bacteria to grow. To protect themselves from the bacteria, ducks have special genes (基因). 38 While chickens’ meat usually has 6.7% fat (脂肪), duck meat has about 19.7%. 39 Also, as duck meat has thicker meat fibers (纤维) and less water, the frying process will make it taste very dry.
40 Near the tail, there is a part that makes oil to keep them warm. This oil smells like sheep meat and can be unpleasant when the duck is fried.
A．They also help ducks grow fat.
B．Fried duck is difficult to make.
C．Moreover, ducks have a special smell.
D．If fried, the duck meat can taste very oily.
E．Different from ducks, chickens can’t swim.
F．Fried duck is very popular among young people.

If you have a strong opinion, it’s better to stick to the facts instead of feelings. 44 Then relax your shoulders and speak in a calm voice. If you are stopped by some person, you can remind the person that it’s your turn to speak. Then give him another chance to speak later.
Find common ground
If you find that you can’t change the other person’s mind, and they may not change yours.
45 You may also get a better understanding of each other’s opinion. In the end, it’s worth the effort because healthy communication builds strong relationships and communities.
A．Still, look for the points you agree on.

C．If this happens to you, you’d better say sorry to your friends.
D．Avoid using impolite adjectives, like “stupid” “foolish” or “silly”.

Who invented chopsticks
49 One is that Jiang Ziya created chopsticks after getting an idea from a mythical (神秘的) bird. It is also said that Yu the Great, who founded the Xia Dynasty, used sticks to pick hot food in order to save time to control floods, so chopsticks came into being.
How should we behave when using chopsticks
When eating with the elders, Chinese people usually let the elders take up chopsticks before anyone else. 50 It’s also bad to tap (敲) chopsticks on the edge of your bowl, because in ancient China beggars (乞丐) often did it to attract attention.

In early April, fawns (baby deer) are born. After a few weeks, the doe (the mother deer) leaves her fawns to find food. 61 The trees and grass can help keep the fawns from being seen by hungry predators (掠食者).
The fawns’ camouflage (伪装；保护色) hides them in April’s trees and golden grasses. 62 In summer, the fawns’ white spots disappear and never come back. In winter, their fur is gray, which helps them hide in the snow.
When the deer see, smell or hear something suspicious (可疑的), they stick their white tails up to signal that danger is near. 63
When a deer is chased into water, it knows what to do. It runs into the water and swims to the deepest part. 64 The deer will kick and thrash until the predator dies or walks off wounded.
65 If a deer is in a wide-open field and notices a predator, it will run in a zigzag (之字形) to get away. It runs in this way to confuse (混淆) the predator. If the deer ran straight, it would likely become a big meal.

Even worse, the plastic has also been found in drinking water across the world, which makes people worried. 67 Scientists do not know what level of harm this will do to us in the future.
68 For example, they’re from washing and drying clothing and from cleaning products, such as toothpaste and face washes. Microplastics are even found in the air outside and at our homes.
Almost every country across the world agrees that we cannot continue using so much plastic in our lives. 69 We also need to introduce new duties and other means to encourage companies to choose environment-friendly things and recyclable packaging (包装) for their products.

Animals use senses to find food and stay out of danger. People use them to find out what is happening with their bodies and in the world around them. You probably know about the five basic senses: hearing, seeing, smell, touch and taste. 71
Pain Sense
Pain might be regarded as part of the sense of touch. Actually, it isn’t. People and other animals can feel pain even when nothing is touching them. 72 It can also warm people to stop or change what they are doing before they get hurt.
Temperature Sense
People can sense the changes in temperature. In winter, many old people move from the cold place to the warm place. The same thing happens to animals. 73 So they have the habit of winter sleep.
Time Sense
Scientists think humans have the best sense of time. But probably other animals sense it, too. For example, dogs will wait at the door at a certain time. 74
Using Sounds to “See”
Some animals can “see” the things around them in the dark. 75 By making sounds and listening to echoes (回声), some whales and birds have this unusual sense.
In a word, many other senses are also being studied besides the senses above. As you explore the world, think about the other senses that animals, including you, use every day.

As a child, I was afraid of the dark, as so many children are. Not the dark itself, but what I was certain it had: bad spirits, bad people, and anything bad. 76 I kept myself inside the light on winter afternoon, thinking of light as magic protection. I went to bed with the hall light on and the door slightly open.
Later on, I borrowed Jill Tomlinson’s book The Owl (猫头鹰) Who Was Afraid of the Dark from the library and fell in love with the baby owl, Plop, who learns through others that dark can be exciting, kind, fun, necessary, beautiful and super. 77 In this book, all the animals that are shown on the signs of a village’s stores climb down at midnight. One of the signs is an owl, and this book has a beautiful watercolor owl on the cover.
78 I began to see the possibilities of the dark, but I still preferred to meet it with a safety cordon (防护线) of light.
All this changed for me when I moved to the countryside in east London, at 26. There I lived together with real dark for the first time in my life. I learned the wonder of a starry sky. On cool evenings when the stars seemed close enough to touch, I would dress myself in a warm coat and lie in a quiet yard and stretch (伸展) out into the sky, to the calling of owls from the woods. 79
A．I tried different ways to keep dark away.
B．But I was sure about the wonderfulness of the dark.
C．However, I spent more time outdoors and more time at night.
D．At the same time, I read and reread Phyllis Arkle’s Magic at Midnight.
E．I have learned, since then, to totally love the dark and everything that lives in it.
F．These stories described night as a magical space where good things could happen.

Last summer, I took an exciting trip to Nairobi National Park. It’s just 7 kilometers away from the city center. What makes the park special 80 As soon as I arrived there, the warm African sun kissed my face, and the loud roar (咆哮) of a lion reached my ears. I couldn’t wait to start.
The park is huge, covering about 117 square kilometers. Electric fences (围墙) keep the park separate from the city on three sides-east, west, and north. But the south side keeps open, letting animals move freely as the seasons change. The park has been there for over 70 years. There are 80 kinds of mammals (哺乳动物) and more than 500 kinds of birds in the park. 81 But here’s an important rule—they must stay inside their cars. Why Because there are big, dangerous animals like lions and leopards walking around!
It’s unbelievable that we can not see elephants in the park. 82 So there might not be enough food for the other animals. Also, they could be a danger to people living nearby. However, in the park, there is a meaningful Ivory Burning Monument (象牙焚烧纪念碑). It’s said that Kenya’s president burned 2.5 tons of ivory here to show the government’s strong will against ivory trade in 1989. And the monument was built to remind people of this famous historical event. Today many visitors from all over the world and Kenyan students go there.
83 And we all share the same home—the earth. We should care for our animal friends and protect our planet.
A．One reason is that elephants eat tons of plants for food.
B．It’s the only wildlife park inside a capital city around the world!
C．Every year, millions of visitors come to see these wonderful animals.
D．Many visitors can walk anywhere in the park to see the animals freely.
