Read the passage and complete the tasks (根据短文内容完成任务)
Water plays an important role in our daily lives. It makes up about sixty percent of your body weight. Most of us get our water at a low price from the taps. But some people prefer bottled water, even though it costs more.
Bottled water first appeared in the United States in the 1760s. A company called Jackson’s Spa sold bottled water. It said that the water could be good for people’s health. Since then, bottled water has become more and more popular worldwide. In 2019, for the first time, Americans drank more bottled water than soda.
Why has bottled water become so popular Well, this may have something to do with people’s worries about the purity (纯净) of tap water. According to one survey, 63 percent of Americans worried a lot about the safety of their drinking water.
However, research suggests such worries are unnecessary. For most families, bottled water isn’t better than tap water. In fact, almost half of all bottled water comes from the tap. When it comes to taste, most of us can’t tell the difference. Once a blind taste test was done and only a third of the taste-testers were able to correctly pick out which one was from tap water.
Making bottled water, however, requires lots of things. Plastic bottles are usually used only once before being thrown away. Besides, more water goes into the making of a bottle of water. One study found that companies usually use 1.39 litres (升) of water to make one litre of bottled water.
Do you prefer bottled water to tap water It’s time to change your mind! Bottled water is more expensive. However, it isn’t much better than the water you get from your kitchen tap.
Task 1: Answer the questions:
1．Bottled water is cheaper than tap water, isn’t it
2．When did bottled water first appear in America
3．Why is bottled water popular with Americans
4．Why was a blind taste test done
5．How does the writer show the fact that more water goes into the making of a bottle of water
6．What is the writer’s attitude towards tap water
Task 2:
7．Write more about the advantages of tap water or the disadvantages of bottled water in about 30 words.
Read the passage and complete the tasks. (根据短文内容完成任务。)
A new fleet of ocean-cleaning drones is being tested to remove plastic waste from the sea. These autonomous (自动的) devices use AI to detect and collect floating debris (碎片), helping to reduce the millions of tons of plastic polluting the oceans. The drones operate day and night, covering large areas more efficiently than human-led clean-up efforts.
Traditional clean-up methods involve ships and nets, which are slow, expensive, and often harm marine life. The drones, however, are designed to avoid wildlife while targeting only plastic waste. Early trials show they can collect up to 100 kilograms of debris per day, making them a promising solution for large-scale ocean clean-up.
One challenge is that strong ocean currents can push debris out of reach, making it harder for the drones to operate effectively. Dr. Hannah Lee, the project coordinator, says her team is improving the drones’ navigation systems to handle rough sea conditions. They are also developing ways to recycle the collected plastic into usable materials.
If successful, these drones could play a key role in restoring marine ecosystems and protecting sea life. This technology offers hope for a cleaner, healthier ocean in the future.
Task 1 Answer the questions
8．How do the drones identify plastic waste in the ocean
9．Why are drones better than traditional clean-up methods
10．How much debris can each drone collect daily
11．What problem do strong ocean currents cause for the drones
12．What aspect of the drones is Dr. Lee’s team improving
Task 2
13．Explain how ocean-cleaning drones help marine life. (不超过30个词)
When Ella Grace Rossen and Cash Daniels met in July 2019, they quickly became friends. They first met in a summer camp, in the halls of the University of British Columbia.
“We knew we could make a difference together,” says Cash. Ella agrees. In a short time, their meeting changed into action. The Cleanup Kids came out to make waves in environmental protection.
Ella’s interest in the environment started with first-hand experience of cleaning up rubbish at the beaches. For Cash, his dream of protecting the environment started at just seven years old, when a single plastic straw (吸管) on the beach caught his eye, symbolizing a much larger problem. That was when he knew the danger facing thousands of turtles, seabirds and other wildlife. They may die because of eating waste plastic.
Now both 14, they sometimes meet at environmental events. They take part in the activities such as setting sea turtles free and summer camp. They both head the organization—The Cleanup Kids. It now has many members.
“My hope for The Cleanup Kids is that it’s not hundreds of kids but thousands of kids who can join us to make a big difference,” says Ella. Members’ work includes doing at least one clean-up operation a month, recording the collected rubbish, counting every piece to reach the goal of collecting one million pieces of rubbish by the end of the year, and sorting (分类) and recycling (回收) things.
In 2022, Cash and Ella received the International Young Eco-Hero Awards. This award is used to honour young leaders who have made a great influence on both people and the environment.
How can you begin to make that influence
A “I started with just a couple of clean-up activities with my family.” B “Don’t overdo it,” he says. C “And just remember that kids may be only a small part of the population, but we’re 100 per cent of the future.” D
根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。（每小题答案不超过10个词）
14．When did Ella and Cash become friends
15．What caused Ella’s interest in the environment
16．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 4
17．What is Ella’s wish for The Cleanup Kids

In 2023, three people carved their names into the Colosseum. The Colosseum is a very old building in Rome, Italy. It is about 2,000 years old. In Bali, Indonesia, too many tourists have caused problems for the beaches. Tourism can help people make money. 19
Now, Venice asks tourists to pay money to travel to it. In Kyoto, Japan, some streets are now closed to tourists. Should famous places stop letting tourists visit Here are two students’ ideas.
Mary: 20 Tourists want to see other places, but some of them do not show respect. 21 They write on old walls. Even good tourists can cause problems. Local people may face full streets and rising prices. That is not fair.
Vincent: Tourists should still visit. 22 Many local people get jobs from tourism. One in 10 people around the world works in tourism. Instead of stopping visits, we can make rules. We can ask people to visit in the off-season (淡季) or go to new places. We can also limit the number of tourists.
A．It’s time to stop. B．We need more rules in famous places. C． They break things just to take a photo. D．But it can also be bad for nature and old places. E. Some people do not act nicely, but most tourists are good.
Whose idea do you agree with, Mary’s or Vincent’s Why (Answer within 15 words)

To our surprise, people make a huge amount of rubbish in their daily life. We should protect the environment. The following “3R Rules” may help us.
Reduce. We can reduce waste by using things wisely. People cut down millions of trees in order to make paper. However, people don’t save paper and waste a lot of paper carelessly. We may have no trees in the near future if we don’t save paper. Besides wasting paper, people also waste other things. Dealing with waste in big cities can cost a lot. That’s why people need to make waste less.
Reuse. We should think about how to reuse things before we throw them away. Clothes which are too small for you are still usable. We can wash our old clothes and give them to the people who can’t afford new clothes. Family members can share the clothes with each other.
Recycle. Recycling some rubbish such as empty cans, plastic bottles and used paper is very easy. We can make some money by recycling the rubbish. For example, used plastic bottles can be collected and smashed (粉碎). They can be made into usable plastic things again. So why not try our best to recycle things as many as possible
24．How can we reduce waste
25．Why do people need to make waste less
26．Who can we give our old clothes to
27．What can be recycled according to this passage (List at least two items.)
28．In this passage, which rule do you like best Why

In our community, a new “Online Second-hand Exchange” activity started last month. It’s for teenagers to swap (交换) old but useful items, and it’s become very popular among us. 29 We just need to take photos of our old things, write short introductions and post them on the community’s WeChat group.
Before posting, we have to make sure the items are clean and in good condition—like storybooks with no missing pages or toys that still work. 30 For example, if you have a used basketball you don’t play with, you can swap it for a painting set or a pair of sports shoes.
31 When two people agree to swap, they can meet at the community center on weekends to hand over the items. Some volunteers also help check the items to make sure both sides are happy with the exchange.
This activity has many benefits. It helps us reuse old things instead of throwing them away, which is good for the environment. 32 We also make new friends while swapping, and it teaches us to communicate and negotiate (协商) politely.
A．It’s easy to join the activity.
B．Also, it saves us money because we don’t need to buy new items.
C． Everyone can swap items they don’t need for things they want.
D．We can even swap items with people from other communities.
E. The community center provides boxes for us to carry the swapped items.
5. Would you like to join such an online secondhand exchange activity Why or why not （请用英语回答，不超过20个词）

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）
Different from Earth Day which falls on April 22 every year, Earth Hour has been known for its “lights off” moment. On March 22, 2025, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM, millions turned off their lights to show they cared about the Earth. This year’s Earth Hour, with the theme (主题) “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”, was even more important because it shared the same day as World Water Day. However, it’s not enough to have such an hour every year. What matters is how we can be kinder to the earth every day.
Planet-friendly food
You might not realize it, but the meat industry has a huge influence on forests around the world. Large numbers of trees are cut down to make space for soy (大豆) and other plants that are used to feed animals. Have a chat with your parents about going meat-free, even for a few days every week. Also, foods like vegetables, fruit and nuts are helping the planet.
Go green and save money, too
Electricity (电) produced by burning fuels like oil, coal and gas causes global warming and pollution. Ask your parents how they heat your home and suggest using green energy like wind or solar power (太阳能). Another tip is to remember to turn off the electricity whenever you leave a room. Cutting down on screen time is actually good for both your health and the earth.
Waste Less, Help more
Waste is a big problem! We’ve talked about saving electricity. What about food waste Every year, 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted around the world. That’s one-third of the total amount, which can feed up to 1.26 billion people. Try to talk to your parents about buying a proper amount of food. More importantly, find some ways online for leftover food at home.
34．When did Earth Hour take place in 2025
35．Why was Earth Hour 2025 especially important
36．How does the meat industry negatively affect forests
37．Why is electricity produced by burning fuels harmful to the environment
38．One-third of the world’s food is wasted, isn’t it
39．As teenagers, what can we do to contribute to Earth Hour and environmental protection beyond just turning off lights for one hour

A New Way to Learn: Online Courses
With the development of the Internet, online courses have become a popular way for students to learn. Online courses have many advantages. First, they are very convenient. Students can take the courses at home or anywhere else with the Internet. They don’t need to go to school or a training center. Second, online courses are flexible. Students can choose the time and speed of learning. They can watch the course videos again if they don’t understand something. Third, online courses are usually cheaper than traditional courses. This makes them accessible to more students.
However, online courses also have some disadvantages. Some students may not have self-discipline. They may spend too much time playing games instead of studying. Also, students can’t talk to their teachers and classmates face to face, which may make it difficult for them to solve problems in time.
Despite the disadvantages, online courses are still a good choice for many students. They can help students learn more knowledge and improve their skills.

It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee. While I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I felt loneliness（孤独）. I saw their bodies, but I could not feel their minds because their minds belonged to the Net.
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man sitting in front of it.
“I’m Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him several times what his name was. “I cannot talk with you. I’m busy,” he said. He was chatting online and, at the same time, he was playing a computer game—a war game. I was surprised.
Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me I tried again to speak to the computer geek（怪人）, but not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction（反应）. I was unhappy and then put my hand in front of the monitor（显示器）, and he started to shout, “Leave me alone!”
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the cafe were looking at me. I raised my head, and saw nobody showed any interest.
At that moment, I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation（谈话）with their machines, not with people. They were more interested in having a relationship with the computer, especially Steve. I would not want to imagine the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines instead of with people.
I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I did not even realize that the coffee was bad, just as Steve did not notice there was a person next to him.

Curiosity is like a spark that lights up our desire to explore the unknown. In today’s fast-changing world, it’s more important than ever. From the latest AI technologies to space exploration, human curiosity drives innovation and progress.
Take Elon Musk, for example. His curiosity about sustainable energy led to the creation of Tesla and SpaceX. He once said, “I want to understand why things are the way they are.” This mindset pushed him to revolutionize electric cars and rocket science. Similarly, young students around the world are using their curiosity to solve real-world problems. A 15-year-old girl in India invented a low-cost water purifier after seeing her community struggle with clean water. Her curiosity turned into a solution that now helps thousands.
But curiosity isn’t just for scientists. It’s about asking questions and seeking answers. When you wonder how a smartphone works or why leaves change color, you’re using curiosity. Schools are now encouraging students to explore through projects like coding robots or growing plants. These activities help develop critical thinking and creativity.
However, curiosity needs courage. Sometimes, the answers aren’t easy. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. He saw failure as a step forward, not a stop. This attitude is key: never stop wondering, even when things get tough.
As we face challenges like climate change, curiosity will guide us to new solutions. Whether it’s finding renewable energy or curing diseases, the next big idea might start with a simple question. So keep asking, “Why ” and let your curiosity lead the way. The future belongs to those who dare to wonder.
55．Who is Elon Musk and what did his curiosity lead to
56．What problem did the 15-year-old girl in India solve, and how
57．How do schools encourage students to explore according to the passage
58．How did Thomas Edison view failure
59．What challenges can curiosity help us face according to the passage
60．What is the author’s advice about curiosity in the passage

Curiosity: The Key to Great Discoveries
Throughout history, curiosity has been the driving force behind some of the most important discoveries. Take Galileo Galilei, for example. As a young man, he was curious about the stars and planets. While others believed the Earth was the center of the universe, Galileo wondered if that was true. He built a telescope to observe the sky and found that the Earth orbits the sun—a discovery that changed science forever.
Another example is Marie Curie, who was curious about unknown elements. She spent years studying radioactive materials, even when many people thought it was a waste of time. Her curiosity led to the discovery of radium, which has helped save millions of lives through cancer treatment.
Curiosity isn’t just for famous scientists. It’s part of everyday life. A teacher in a small village noticed that her students were curious about plants. Instead of just telling them facts, she encouraged them to grow their own. The students began asking questions: Why do some plants need more water How do they make food Through exploring, they learned more than any textbook could teach.
In fact, research shows that curious people are more successful in life. They are better at solving problems and adapting to new situations. This is because curiosity makes the brain more active and ready to learn. When we’re curious, we pay more attention and remember information better.
So, the next time you wonder “why” or “how”, don’t ignore it. Follow your curiosity—it might just lead you to something amazing.
61．What did Galileo discover by observing the sky with a telescope
62．How did Marie Curie’s curiosity help save lives

Do you like washing the dishes It’s a daily chore for every family in China. A study shows that it can take up to an hour and a half to wash the dishes, clean pots and tidy up the kitchen. Many people think this chore is boring and tiring. Then a China-made dishwasher is the perfect answer to free up time and bring happiness.
“I bought a dishwasher when I decorated my new home. The dishes are clean after washing, and it saves time for me to do other things,” said Wu Peng, an office worker from Guangzhou.
Dishwashers went into our lives in the late 1980s. At that time, they were too expensive for most people, so only some rich families used them. However, in 2015, a Chinese company created the world’s first sink dishwasher (水槽洗碗机). This helped the market grow and made dishwashers more common among Chinese families.
In 2023, the dishwashers made in China sold more than the dishwashers from other countries for the first time. In that year, China sold about 1.94 million (百万) dishwashers in China and about 5.8 million dishwashers in other countries. Chinese dishwashers can be so successful because they can clean dishes better and save energy. “The dishwashers are smart and we just need to start them through a button (按钮). And washing the dishes is not boring at all. All my family are happy to do that,” a woman from Chengdu said.
With more and more people around the world looking for a comfortable life, dishwashers can be a great help. As technology keeps improving, the need for dishwashers in China is expected to keep growing. In the future, there may be a dishwasher in every family.

Imagine you can have phone calls with your favourite star. Is it exciting AI humans might help with it. Today, AI humans are popular at home and abroad.
As we all know, AI humans now can be like real people. They can do real people’s voices and moves and even copy their personalities. But what else can they do And what can only be done by humans but not AI
Digital humans today play roles in many ways. They can be idols, vloggers, reporters, and more. For example, China Daily has its own digital reporter, Yuanxi. She can speak English and cover the wonderful world of Chinese culture. She can process (处理) data fast. This can help the newsroom work faster.
In 2022, a Chinese tech company showed its first digital idol Xi Jiajia. She can change her make-up and how she dresses, and even do webcasts (网络直播)! During China Fashion Week, Xi Jiajia became famous in an online virtual fashion show (虚拟时装秀). “Virtual idols could do something that people cannot do in the real world, such as time travel,” said Liu from the company. Liu took the digital tour guides as an example. They can be in different places and from different times in history.
But AI humans have their disadvantages. Take Yuanxi as an example. She still doesn’t have much touch and EQ like us. These are things 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 show the power of AI but they are not a replacement for traditional human employees.”
72．In what ways can AI humans be like real people
73．What roles can digital humans play
74．Who is Xi Jiajia according to Paragraph 4
75．According to the passage, what could virtual idols do that people cannot do in the real world

The first AI-driven (人工智能驾驶的) bus went on a road test in Shenzhen, and the self-driving (自动驾驶的) car is no longer a far dream.
Most people are excited about AI-driven cars. AI could be a “better driver” than humans as its reaction (反应) time is much shorter than humans’. Also, AI never gets tired and there is no fear of it driving under the influence (影响). What’s more, when two humans drive too close on a road and one has to slow down to avoid an accident (避免事故), both would expect the other to do so, and the problem could be serious because they cannot talk to each other. However, that problem will not happen to two AI-driven cars because they could “talk” through the cloud and decide which one should slow down.
But some people are worried. The test in Shenzhen was done on a special road. There are more uncertain things on real roads. And one problem for AI is not about learning to remember road signs, but about learning to take actions in sudden and unexpected situations (情况). Also, it has been reported that some people took control of others’ computers in self-driving cars. This could be very dangerous.
All in all, AI-driven cars will keep improving and all the possible problems will be solved (解决) before they are widely used. We will meet them soon in the future.
78．Did the first AI-driven bus go on a road test in Shanghai
79．Why could AI be a “better driver” than humans according to the passage
80．What are problems for AI-driven cars

Drones are flying robots that can be controlled remotely or by computers. In the past, they were expensive and mainly used by the military (军事). But now, cheaper drones are helping people in many fields, like rescue work and farming.
A French company created a drone called “Agridrone” to help farmers. It uses special sensors (感应器) to examine crops. By flying over fields, the drone takes pictures that show which areas need fertilizer (肥料). This helps farmers save money and reduce pollution.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer who uses Agridrone. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the year. The pictures tell him exactly where and how much fertilizer to use. Before drones, farmers spread fertilizer everywhere, wasting money and harming the environment.
Drones also save time. They can check three hectares of land in one minute. Romain Faroux, the creator of Agridrone, says this technology is like a smartphone with wings. It uses sunlight reflections to analyze (分析) crop health.
Thanks to cheaper drones, more people are using them. They’re not just for the military anymore. Drones are becoming a powerful tool to solve real-world problems, especially in farming.
82．What is a drone
83．What technology does the Agridrone use to analyze crops
84．How do drones help farmers save money
85．How much time can drones save when examining crops
86．Who created the Agridrone and why

Nowadays, AI is becoming more and more popular in our lives. It’s like a smart helper that can do many things for us. It can talk to us, answer our questions, and even help us solve problems. The story of AI goes back to the 1950s. From then on, AI has gone through ups and downs. However, recent years have seen a rapid development, with breakthroughs in deep learning and large language models.
In schools, AI is becoming a useful tool. For example, if a student has trouble with math, AI can give personalized (个性化的) practice and explanations. It’s a great support for students.
At home, AI is very helpful, too. Smart home devices with AI can control lights, temperature, and even play music. All you have to do is ask, and AI will do it for you. It’s like having a magic helper that can make your life easier.
AI can also help us stay healthy. There are AI apps that can remind us to exercise, eat healthy food, and get enough sleep. For example, Huawei Health is an AI-powered app that offers personalized exercise plans and records physical activities, sleep habits, and overall health information.
However, some people worry about AI. They think AI might take over too many jobs or make wrong decisions. But many experts say that AI is here to help us, not take over. By understanding how AI works, we can make the most of its benefits while avoiding its possible problems.

Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been widely used in different parts of our life. In the field of education, AI learning software can provide better exercises according to students’ learning situations. It can also help students practice oral foreign languages through speech conversations. In the transportation field, people use AI technology to know more about road conditions in real-time and plan the best routes. In the medical field, AI can quickly scan a large amount of information to help doctors.
However, with the development of AI, people have many different thoughts. Some think it greatly improves the efficiency of life and work, while others worry that over-reliance (过度依赖) on AI will bring risks.
AI is a good helper in my work. It can quickly scan patients’ medical data and suggest possible diseases. This saves a lot of time. But AI can’t replace human doctors completely, as patients (病人) need human care and comfort. Only we doctors can understand their feelings and build trust with them. —Dr. Liu, 38, People’s Hospital, Taiyuan
I think AI is very useful. When I learn math, an AI app can explain difficult problems clearly step by step. It also helps me review lessons by making study plans. But sometimes, it gives me too many study suggestions, and I don’t know which ones to follow. —Li Wei, 14, Xinhua Middle School, Linfen I’m a little worried about AI. Once, I used an AI writing tool to complete my English writing. But when the teacher asked me some questions about it, I couldn’t answer well because I didn’t think deeply myself. I’m afraid we’ll become lazy if we depend on AI too much. —Wang Mei, 15, Sunshine School, Yuncheng

AI is shaking up the world now. It has been widely used in many different fields.
AI in Communication
Chatbots (聊天机器人), a kind of AI-driven tool, have become a necessary part of modern communication. They can understand and reply to users at once. Whether it’s on websites or mobile apps, chatbots can offer support in real time. Besides, AI users can control smart home tools through voice orders. AI is reshaping (重塑) the way we communicate in our daily lives.
AI in Transportation
AI makes a big difference to traffic. For example some ride-sharing platforms (拼车平台) depend heavily on AI. They use AI to match passengers with drivers and provide better transportation services. And self-driving cars are a main example of AI’s use in transportation, too. With the help of AI, they can reduce accidents and help those unable to drive.
AI in Education
