Inspired by Mrs. Benny's words, I started to practice right away. In Mrs. Benny's kitchen, I carefully selected the materials, paying close attention to their freshness. I experimented with different combinations, adjusting the seasonings and cooking techniques based on how the materials reacted. The following days witnessed my daily efforts. By the end of the week, my dishes were improving, and I felt more confident and decided to present a noodle. During the class competition, I was surprised that my dish earned the teacher’s praises on the flavors of my presentation.
After the competition, I went home with the dish cheerfully. I placed the dish on the table with a smile, announcing what I had achieved to my family. My mom tasted the noodle and looked at me with surprise and pride. “Malia, this is wonderful! You've really put your heart into this," she said. The twins enjoyed that too, and I felt a warm sense of accomplishment. My hard work had paid off, and I truly learned that cooking was not just about following recipes but about creativity, patience, and using all my senses.2024-2025学年度第一学期期中考试

Class is in session, and Olivia Munn's 22-month-old son Malcolm is a star student! The mother shared a new video of herself teaching her son Mandarin (普通话) before bed, and he nailed it!
“Chinese lessons,” she wrote over a video of her and Malcolm reading a book before bed. Malcolm stood next to his mom to read the book with her. As Munn said the Mandarin word, the baby repeated it back in the cutest little voice, followed by a smile and a hug for his mama. You can even hear someone say “Aww!” in the background, which was likely Malcolm's dad John Mulaney. Malcolm seemed so proud of himself, and he was so cute!
In her caption(字幕), Munn explained that the book was a gift from comedian Ali Wong. “Thank you @aliwong for our First 100 Mandarin Words book! Malcolm loves it!” she said.
This video went viral. Actress Melanie Lynskey commented, “The love!!” Whitney Cummings commented, “My heart.” “Growing up multilingual(多语种的)is a magical gift,” one person said, “I'll always be grateful for my mother insisting on speaking Arabic to us & giving us lessons.” Another person commented, “I love this family so much and it's definitely the cutest family I've ever seen.”
The mother often introduces Malcolm to parts of his Asian root. They make noodles for the Lunar New Year, and she's taken him shopping at an Asian market called H Mart. Now he's learning how to speak Mandarin, and it's so adorable.
In her latest video, Munn is reading My First Mandarin Words with Gordon & Li Li, written by Michele Wong. The official Gordon and Li Li account commented, “This is the sweetest! We're so happy your little guy is having FUN learning Mandarin with Gordon & Li Li! Big thanks to @aliwong for sharing the Mandarin love!”

In 2020, there were 727 million people aged 65 or above, which is expected to more than double by 2050. The silver-haired population represent a massive opportunity for nearly every industry where companies can build a new market for their products and services while creating social value.
The main consumption patterns of elderly population can be classified into two categories: health-related consumption and daily consumption. When it comes to health consumption, seniors are not only concerned about healthcare but also increasingly emphasizes disease prevention. In relation to this, preventive health services, such as physical examinations, will have significant room for growth. Evidently, regular physical examinations require a certain amount of time, economic costs and medical support. Therefore, the high-income population in big cities can sustain them for a longer period of time due to their subjective willingness and objective conditions.
Another key section of the elderly market is represented by the application of medical devices and technology tailored for seniors. One notable area of development is the adoption of remote monitoring systems. These systems make use of cutting-edge technology to enable healthcare professionals to remotely monitor the vital signs and health status of elderly individuals, providing real-time feedback and intervention when necessary. This not only ensures immediate medical attention but also allows older adults to maintain their independence and age comfortably in their own homes.
Acknowledging the importance of social engagement and mental stimulation in enhancing the well-being of seniors, the entertainment industry has emerged as a key component as well. It is centered around offering diverse activities and entertainment options, such as organized tours, social clubs, arts and crafts workshops and music and dance performances, which are meant for the unique preferences and needs of older individuals. They offer a platform for them to connect, share experiences and engage, creating a supportive environment where seniors can enrich life experiences and apply their different talents.
The aging population is one of the most important trends in the world, and it's indeed a powerful force not just socially but economically.
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To raise a topic. B. To present some figures.
C. To explain a concept. D. To provide supportive evidence.
29. Who is most likely to have a check-up regularly according to paragraph 2
A. A jobless worker in Shenzhen. B. A fit college student in a big city.
C. A wealthy old lawyer in Beijing. D. A retired poor writer in a rural area.
30. What benefits do the systems bring to seniors in paragraph 3
A. Their health can be tracked distantly. B. They can get free medical treatments,
C. They can receive home visits from doctors. D. Their old-age care problems can be settled.
31. What does the author say about entertainments for seniors
A. Limited to music. B. Tailored to their needs.
C. Related to their incomes. D. Focused on physical challenges.
D
New technologies tend to cause a cycle of concern, disorder, and conflict before eventually being accepted. Recent writings about artificial intelligence (AI) and other advances in computer science suggest that we are preparing to welcome the final stage of this latest round of invention.
The Last Human Job, sociologist Allison Pugh's new book centered on caregiving and human connection in the age of automation, warns readers against unreserved acceptance of these technological advances, citing “connective labor” as valuable human work that will not be easily replaced by algorithms (算法). “Absent from discussions about Al and automation,” Pugh argues, “is the impact that these systems might have on the emotional understandings we build of ourselves and others.”
Pugh sets the stage by arguing for the value of human connection and the importance of both seeing and being seen by others. “Practitioners (从业者) said they gained a sense of purpose simply from the opportunity of observing people at their most defenseless,” she observes. She then provides a summary of how care work is being increasingly automated, showing how quantification and measurement have taken over many aspects of human-facing jobs, leaving little room for doctors, teachers, and others to build connection.
“When one goes to a doctor or a teacher, the encounter is full of the potential for shame, a risk that makes it all the more powerful when practitioners show empathic (同理心的) reflection,” writes Pugh. In chapter 8, she explains how such interactions can be done right. Research conducted by herself and others identifies three key aspects supporting connective labor: “relational design,” or how people are set up to interact with one another; “connective culture,” or shared practices and beliefs that influence how people interact; and “resource distribution,” which includes time given for interaction, worker-to-client rates, and the extent of technology and data use, among other factors.
Pugh concludes by arguing that we need a social movement for connection. “We need to fight for what we might call our ‘social health’,” she maintains.
32. What is the main concern of Allison Pugh's new book
A. The impact of AI on future employment.
B. The approach to living and working with AI.
C. The increasing role of technology in caregiving.
D. The value of connective labor in the age of automation.
33. Why does the author mention “practitioners” in paragraph 3
A. To explain how to do care work.
B. To argue against the automation technology.
C. To prove the significance of human connection.
D. To discuss the challenges of privacy in caregiving.
34. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The encounter. B. The shame. C. The risk. D. The potential.
35. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The overview of chapter 8. B. The effective way to interact.
C. The new trend of caregiving. D. The factors of avoiding shame.

In Chinese traditional architecture, a skywell is an open courtyard or well-like space usually located at the heart of a building or group of buildings._ 36 Their designs often feature the classic Chinese dou gong overhangs to provide shade and collect water into a central basin.
Chinese skywells are so effective in cooling homes because they can control natural airing. Cool air is drawn into the building from the lower levels, and warm air escapes and rises through the upper levels. 37
The skywell's layout and construction materials also help in thermal(热量的)regulation. During the day, the courtyard absorbs heat from the sun, acting as a thermal mass. 38 This day-night cycle helps maintain a balanced and consistent temperature indoors.
Most traditional skywells include water features, such as fountains or ponds. A recent study has shown that the most significant part of a skywell's cooling effect comes from these water bodies. 39 As water evaporates(蒸发)from these features, it absorbs heat from the surrounding air. This reduces the temperature within the courtyard and surrounding rooms.
40 One fitting example is the National Heavy Vehicle Engineering Technology Research Centre in Jinan, an 18-story building that has a giant open space at its heart from the fifth floor to the top floor. The toilets, elevators, and meeting rooms surround this space. This enhances natural airing and natural energy consumption, according to the Shanghai-based CCDI Group.
This promotes fresh air flow, especially during hot summer days.
B. It is often a square surrounded by the building's rooms and wings.
C. This cooling was disadvantageous in regions with hot and dry climates.
D. It's probably why temperatures around them are 2.6℃ to 4.2℃ lower.
E. These wonders continue to inspire architects to seek sustainable solutions.
F. The magic of skywells stands as witnesses to the wisdom of ancient builders.
G. The stored heat is gradually released as the outdoor temperature drops at night.

I stared at the stuff my mom placed near my vegetable. Right. A whole week, she kept seven recipes, each one labelled with a day of week. Today was Meatloaf Monday. Again.
I kept complaining about the food. “Malia,” mum continued serving the twins, saying, “You are 11. You should be setting an example.”
The next day in school's kitchen classroom, our teacher announced we would have a competition to finish off our unit on kitchen skills. An eager chatting traveled through the class.
“I'm going to win,” said Tania, “My dad's the best cook. I've got talent,” Right. Tania's dad is good at cooking. I love having supper at her house. But I also wanted to win. I thought about my talent and decided that I would practice by making supper tonight.
After school, I told mom my determination, but she was nervous. I hurried to the kitchen, Thinking about Tania's dad's saying good ingredients (食材) make good meals, I took whatever I thought was good from the cupboard. Then remembering mom's saying—health matters, I found more vegetables. I put all together in the soup pot and turned on the burner. Soon later, the stuff I cooked turned messy. The twins whispered about my failure but my mom stopped them, “Malia worked hard on this.”
After supper, as I was throwing my work in the compost (堆肥), Mrs. Benny, my neighbour, spotted me. Learning what happened, she smiled and invited me to come over to her garden.
The next day, I laboured in Mrs. Beany’s garden, picking vegetables. Together, we collected some fresh ingredients. “Touch and smell the plants. If you see something you like, place it into the bowl.” I followed that and picked out fresh potatoes and onions. She recalled how she went from getting no idea about cooking to falling in love with it. “The secret is using all your senses—sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing. Listen to your stomach. Don't rush.” she said.
