One of My Favorite Apps
The rapid development of the Internet has brought more novel and convenient apps to our life.
Among the many apps, WeChat is my favorite. It is convenient and multi-functional, being widely used by almost everyone in our daily life. Apart from using it to chat with my friends online, I also regard it as a beneficial tool to gain the latest news and search for some learning materials. Whenever I want to practice my listening skills or do something else about study, WeChat is always my first choice.
Useful as it is, I find it difficult to live without it, which is undoubtedly terrible. So, I decide to take measures to better and reasonably exploit its potential.

But I knew if I wanted to make it, I had to trust the rope. I took a deep breath. Immediately, I felt the safety from the rope. I realized that even though slipping might make me nervous, I would be perfectly safe. With newfound trust in the rope, I started climbing again. As I continued, my rope caught me many times. And I also reminded myself to be brave. Five minutes later, I was at the top of the wall. I made it!
That day’s successful experience inspired me in my cancer battle. During the medical treatment, I kept telling myself the secret of doing something hard and scary: just trust the rope. My family, my friends, even my doctors could all be the rope that I could rely on all the time. They tried their best to help and support me, just like the rope that had lifted me up that day at the indoor climbing gym. Their love, care and company gave me the courage and confidence in the battle against my cancer.

Hello, everyone. I’m going to tell you about a perfect day we are going to spend in Prague. First of all, we’re starting the day in one of the cafes in the main square. It’s a beautiful place to have breakfast. It’s not cheap, but we can sit outside to watch the clock tower.
After breakfast, we’re going to walk through the old city and go to the Charles Bridge. There are some interesting statues on the bridge, and there’s a market where we can buy some souvenirs. From the bridge, we’re walking up to the Castle. And we’re going to have lunch in a restaurant near there.
In the afternoon, we’re taking a bus around the city. It’s a good way to see the sights because it’s cheap and easy. And afterward, we’re going to relax in the park at Petrin Hill. There is a tall tower there, where you can see wonderful views of the city.
And then, in the evening, we’ll go to a classical music concert. When it’s finished, we’re having dinner in a special place in the old town, which serves traditional Czech food. And then we’re going to spend the rest of the evening trying different bars in the old town, which serve very cheap, local beers. It’s going to be fantastic!

2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fêtes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenné — Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava — Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas — Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients (原料) and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.
21. What does the author highly recommend at Place des Fêtes
A. Red wine. B. Fried fish. C. Baja seafood. D. Mushroom soup.
22. What is the best choice for people who were drunk last night

23. What does the text aim to do
A. To compare the origins of some restaurants.
B. To state the similarities of some restaurants.
C. To introduce the features of some restaurants.
D. To recommend the seafoods of some restaurants.

Ms. McIntyre, 38, worked as a publisher. She suffered brain cancer and her health got worse despite some medical treatment. But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay.
Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills.
Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.”
The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts.
Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for.
24. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people
A. The doctors eventually cured her. B. Her disease didn’t become worse.
C. She had a decent job before being ill. D. She had security about medical care.
25. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others
A. By paying for their daily debts. B. By giving away groceries to them.
C. By ridding them of debts from treatments. D. By purchasing medical insurance for them.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The public involvement. B. The couple’s commitment.
C. The operation of a website. D. The increase of medical debts.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre
A. Humorous and elegant. B. Influential and understanding.
C. Cautious and promising. D. Enthusiastic and adaptable.
C
Emotional intelligence is highly important in a teen’s development. There is considerable evidence pointing to its positive role in helping students deal with stress, develop relationships, and handle the transitions (过渡) facing them.
Emotional intelligence helps us manage negative emotions and our behaviors in response to them. So, does it impact on how teens and students perform academically Some research does, in fact, suggest a relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement. In one study of education students at university, self-emotion appraisal (评价) and understanding of emotion were revealed to have positive significant linkages with their academic performance on assessments. Later studies support this finding, with Sanchez-Ruiz and colleagues finding that emotional intelligence predicted academic performance better than established personality and cognitive (认知的) ability for Cyprus university students.
But what about teens specifically Interestingly, there is also cogent evidence to suggest that teens with EI are better able to make the transition from high school to higher education. Results of a study of 1,426 first-year students found significantly higher interpersonal, stress management, and adaptability skills among students who were academically successful in entering university. The authors’ conclusion was that emotional intelligence has a large impact on students’ ability to deal with challenges such as developing new relationships and learning to live more independently, amongst other factors.
It is worth noting that while the studies above do provide evidence for some benefits of emotional intelligence skills for students, they don’t necessarily indicate an academic consensus (共识). As with most areas in the field, much room for future research remains. So interpersonal and emotional management skills may play a key part in helping students better handle the challenging aspects of academic life.
28. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2
A. Emotional intelligence is only helpful to negative emotions.
B. Our behaviors can’t be treated with our emotional intelligence.
C. Research on the function of emotional intelligence isn’t reliable.
D. Emotional intelligence is connected with academic performance.
29. What does the underlined word “cogent” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Insufficient. B. Specific. C. Usual. D. Convincing.
30. What can we learn from the last paragraph
A. Emotional intelligence doesn’t adapt to teens yet.
B. More research is needed for emotional intelligence.
C. Emotional intelligence equals academic performance.
D. Interpersonal management counts in school examinations.
31. What’s the suitable title for the text
A. We Should Develop Our Emotional Intelligence
B. Emotional Intelligence Means a Lot to Educators
C. Emotional Intelligence is Important for Teenagers
D. We Need Further Study on Emotional Intelligence
D
While teenagers who are at risk of depression with risky behaviors—drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and cutting classes often alert parents and teachers that serious problems are brewing, a new study finds that there’s another group of adolescents who are in nearly as much danger of experiencing the same mental symptoms.
These teens use tons of media, get insufficient sleep and have a sedentary (不爱活动的) lifestyle. Of course, that may sound like a description of every teenager on the planet. But the study warns that it is teenagers who engage in all three of these practices in the extreme that are truly in a dangerous position. Because their behaviors are not usually seen as a red flag, these young people have been called the “invisible risk”group by the study’s authors.
The study’s authors surveyed 15,395 students and analyzed nine risk behaviors, including excessive alcohol use, illegal drug use, heavy smoking and high media use. Their aim was to determine the relationship between these risk behaviors and mental health issues in teenagers. The group that scored high on all nine of the risk behaviors was most likely to show symptoms of depression; in all, nearly 15% of this group reported being depressed, compared with just 4% of the low-risk group. But the invisible group wasn’t far behind the high-risk set, with more than 13% of them exhibiting depression.
The findings caught Carli off guard. “We didn’t expect that,” he says.“The high-risk group and low-risk group are obvious, but this third group was not only unexpected. It was so distinct and so large— nearly one third of our sample— that it became a key finding of the study.”
Carli says that one of the most significant things about his study is that it provides new early warning signs for parents, teachers and mental health-care providers. And early identification, support and treatment for mental health issues, he says, are the best ways to keep them from turning into full-blown disorders.
32. Which teenager probably belongs to the “invisible risk” group
A. A teenager who skips school.
B. A teenager who drinks frequently.
C. A teenager who exercises regularly.
D. A teenager who suffers from lack of sleep.
33. What can we know about the new study
A. It was intended to dig into the reasons for depression.
B. Its findings were under expectation of the research team.
C. It was conducted by analyzing and comparing the previous data.
D. It revealed an alarming rate of the invisible group suffering depression.
34. What is Carli’s attitude toward the findings
A. Unclear. B. Concerned. C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.
35. What is the author’s intention of writing this passage
A. To caution teens against developing unhealthy habit.
B. To share a novel psychological experiment with teens.
C. To introduce a new treatment for teens’ mental disorder.
D. To warn about the unobserved signs for teens’ mental problems.

Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.
Relax yourself
Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 36 . If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.

As soon as the listening starts, concentrate on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.
Grasp the main idea
Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you’re listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. 38 .
Ignore the new words
Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it’s almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 39 . It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.
Develop the habit of taking notes
In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 40 . By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.
A. Focus on listening
B. The more words you memorize, the better it is
C. Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary
D. What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words
E. Make a list of what you think is important while listening
F. Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas
G. If feeling nervous or anxious, try taking a deep breath to calm down

My five-year-old daughter Ruthie seemed very small standing at the base of the huge rock-climbing wall as a young employee double-checked her equipment. It was our second time at this indoor crowded climbing gym. On our first visit, Ruthie had begged my husband and me to let her try climbing the wall, but I denied her, afraid that she was undersized.
But life had dramatically changed since then. After receiving a cancer diagnosis (诊断), I felt that my life was too short to deny her a chance. I stood outside the waiting area, watching the employee attach Ruthie to a safety rope. Then he gave her a thumbs-up sign, and my daughter began climbing!
With that rope, she couldn’t possibly fall. She might slip, but she wouldn’t fall. I was surprised at how she did that so easily and joyfully. “If my cancer is the rock wall, I want to be Ruthie,” I thought.
When she touched the ground again, I leaned over the low fence and asked, “How do you do that ”
“I just trust the rope. It’s very easy,” she said with a shrug, and started on her second climbing.
Apparently, if I had known the secret, I could have climbed the wall myself. When I was sixteen, I once failed to climb a rock wall. With added weight and reduced muscle tone, I doubted if I could even do it. I didn’t see any other moms trying to climb the wall. Several months earlier, embarrassment would have stopped me from trying. But my cancer did funny things to my brain. It made me realize that I needed to be braver than I thought.
With determination, I decided to try it and the same young employee checked my safety rope and gave me the thumbs-up sign. As I began my climb, I was excited by my own bravery for trying something so new. However, only ten feet up, my fingers and toes started to tire, and there was absolutely no place to rest. My excitement began to disappear and I was afraid that I was going to slip and fall.
