What Is AI and How Does It Change Our Lives
Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, is not just a popular term in movies—it’s a real technology that’s changing how we live, work, and learn. Unlike traditional machines that only follow fixed rules, AI systems can “learn” from data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. This ability makes AI different from ordinary tools and gives it huge potential to shape our future.
AI is already around us in many ways. When you ask a smart speaker for the weather, or when a phone app suggests songs you might like, you’re using AI. In schools, some teachers use AI tools to check students’ homework quickly and even give personal feedback to help slow learners catch up. In hospitals, AI can analyze medical scans (like X-rays) to find small signs of illness that human eyes might miss, helping doctors make better treatment plans.
However, AI also brings challenges. One big worry is job changes: as AI gets better at tasks like factory work or data entry, some jobs may disappear. Another problem is privacy—AI systems need lots of data to learn, and if this data includes personal information (like our phone records or online habits), it could be misused. For example, some companies might use AI to track people’s behavior without their permission.
To deal with these challenges, countries around the world are making rules for AI use. These rules aim to keep AI safe and fair: they stop AI from being used to harm people, protect personal data, and make sure AI creates more jobs than it takes away. Many experts also believe that students today should learn about AI, not just to use it, but to understand how it works—this will help them prepare for a world where AI is everywhere.
AI is not perfect, but it’s clear that it will play a bigger role in our lives. By using it wisely and solving its problems, we can make AI a tool that helps humans, not replaces them.

Look at your parents’ mobile phones. Can you see a small “5G” at the top Do you know what it is 5G means “5th generation mobile network (第五代移动通信技术)”.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. In the 1980s, with 1G, phone calls were made for the first time. Around ten years later, 2G let us send messages. Then in the 2000s, using the Internet, listening to music, and sending emails came up in people’s lives with the development of 3G. Later, we could watch films and even buy things in the 2010s with 4G. To our surprise, 5G is coming now. What is special about 5G
Do you have online classes at home With 5G, you can have classes outside your home. The class can go as well as the ones you have at home. Students from poor places can have the chance to study just like you do.
Recently, you could see cars that can drive by themselves—you tell them where you want to go, and they take you there as fast as possible. With 5G, cars like this appear in our lives. It makes self-driving cars safer. These cars can send messages to each other and also “talk” to traffic lights.
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds and make your video calls clearer. What’s more, VR games will become more popular with 5G. It will make the games feel even more real.
All in all, 5G will change the way people live and make our lives more comfortable and convenient than before. Now you can buy a new mobile phone to use 5G networks. Why not try 5G

As we all know, artificial intelligence (人工智能) is now playing an important part in our life. Below are some of the parts in which AI plays a role.
AI improves travel experience by making it easy to book flights (航班) and hotels and giving the best choice according to travelers’ likes. It can also make a traveling plan by giving advice for activities, dining, and places of interest according to the traveler’s interests. Also, AI shows weather and so on during trips, to make sure a successful trip.
AI has a big influence on home appliances (家用电器), making them more intelligent. Smart fridges can alert when some food is nearing going bad, and even show what dishes people can make according to the available food. AI washing machines and dishwashers make sure their cleaning time matches the size of clothes and how dirty they are, to make the best use of water and energy. And AI ovens can make sure cooking times and temperatures, to cook delicious meals.
AI has also changed driving a lot as the technology of autonomous vehicles (无人驾驶汽车) appears. Moreover, AI can help cars talk with each other on road to keep road safety. AI can also help improve the traffic condition by telling real-time road information. AI’s role in driving not only tries to improve safety but also makes a great difference to traffic.
In a word, AI is making our lives easier and safer in certain ways. From making travel easier to smarter home appliances and driving, AI is here to help. We are sure that AI will bring us a lot of wonderful things in the future.

Lots of people go travelling during holidays. As travellers look for more personalized (个人特制的) experiences, many choose AI to be their online tour guides.
During the May Day holiday, Wu Hongbo, a visitor from Dalian, travelled to Shanxi. It was his first visit to Shanxi. Wu didn’t want to join a tour group because he would have to spend a lot of money and he couldn’t explore freely. There were so many places of interest in Shanxi and he was not familiar with the travel routes (路线), so he turned to AI for help.
Wu used AI to plan a fantastic tour of Shanxi. He input the places he wanted to visit, his travel dates, budget and personal interests into an AI app. Soon, he got a personalized week-long travel plan. It showed him the ways to get around, places to visit, and hotels to stay in. Wu is interested in ancient buildings and tasty food, so the AI app also listed several not-so-famous but culturally rich places and delicious dishes.
“This AI-planned tour truly gave me great surprises,” Wu said. “The places and routes perfectly matched (与……一致) my taste, helping me understand Shanxi better.”
Specialists believe 2025 will be the breakout year for AI tour guides. They think AI can meet tourists’ needs for personalized travel. During a personalized trip, AI can serve tourists in real time. Through modern technologies, an AI tour guide can act like a personal guide, explaining the historical stories and cultural meanings behind the tourist areas.
In the future, AI tour guides will help human (人类的) guides and together they can bring a more personalized experience to make travel more exciting.

There are two kinds of birds in the park: the blue bird and the brown bird. However, the number of blue birds has become smaller recently. This is mainly because brown birds take away their food and living space. Brown birds are bigger and more aggressive, so they are better at competing for resources. Also, brown birds carry a kind of bacteria (细菌). This bacteria doesn’t harm brown birds, but it can make blue birds sick.
Luckily, scientists have developed an APP to help increase blue bird numbers. The APP uses artificial intelligence (人工智能). It can identify (识别) different birds by their appearance. Scientists trained the APP by showing it lots of photos of blue birds and brown birds. The main job of the APP is to help blue birds by finding more food for them while stopping brown birds from getting that food. To control brown bird population, the APP can also suggest special feeders that make it hard for brown birds to eat. Scientists check if the APP recognizes the birds correctly every day.
What’s next Scientists think the APP could also be used to track birds’ movements. For example, if a blue bird is hurt, the APP can let scientists know quickly.
With the help of the APP, the number of blue birds might increase soon. “This is not only about saving blue birds,” Dr. Lee, a wildlife expert, says. “It’s also about using technology to protect nature.”

Maybe you think artificial intelligence (AI) might one day make humans less needed or replaced. But while AI makes life easier, could it also be making us lazy thinkers According to a new study, the more humans depend on AI tools to complete their tasks, the less critical thinking (批判性思维) they do. This makes it more difficult for humans to call up the skills when they are needed.
The scientists chose 319 knowledge workers. The workers needed to report what tasks they were asked to do and how they used AI tools to complete them. They also had to report how well they could check the AI’s work and how confident they were in their own ability to complete the same task without AI.
The study found that the more workers trusted the AI to finish the task, the more they felt like they could let their hands off the wheel. This could lead to depending too much on the technology without checking it. And people may become less critical. However, when workers didn’t trust the AI much, they used their critical thinking skills more. So they could feel more confident about checking what the AI produced and improving it on their own.
The study doesn’t deny (否认) that AI can make work faster, but it does warn about the disadvantages. Balancing the benefits of AI with our own development is more important than ever. Critical thinking in the age of AI isn’t about refusing technology—it’s about using it wisely.
25．What did the new study find
A．AI is better at completing tasks.
B．AI will replace humans one day.
C．AI makes humans’ critical thinking weaker.
26．According to the study, what happens when workers trust the AI too much to complete a task
A．They may over-depend on the AI without careful checking.
B．They compare different AI tools and their works.
C．They improve their own skills by correcting the AI’s mistakes.
27．How does the writer show the study’s result in Paragraph 3
A．By listing numbers. B．By comparing facts. C．By asking questions.
28．What does the writer advise readers to do
A．Do not trust AI tools at all.
B．Do easy tasks on your own.
C．Make use of AI in a proper way.
Imagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turn into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.
Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.
“I think 3D printing business is going to be huge. It’s going to have a huge influence on society as a whole,” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia.
3D printing services are coming into American people’s life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recently put 3D printers in three of its locally owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.
“The need has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. It’s been much more than I would have imagined.”
The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.
For $11, someone used a 3D printer to produce two small plastic parts as part of a knuckle (指节) for a hand. He works for the company which is testing finger prosthetics (假肢). He says the same-day or next-day printing services will speed up testing of parts and get them to patients faster.
Staples, an American store, is selling 3D printers on its website for as low as about $1,300. As with any technology, experts expect the printing speed to increase and the price to go down.
Bryan Jaycox requires $15 an hour to print an object. He also sets the price depending on the size of the object and up to $50 an hour for design and work services.
Mr Jaycox believes that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user-friendly. Even with today’s technology, however, KiChong Tran says it can already make a big difference in a developing country like Cambodia. “With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they can take more responsibility for their own development and they learn skills beyond just learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. They can actually create things that give value to the world.”
He says it’s not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.
29．What can 3D printers do according to the passage
A．Come up with an idea. B．Draw on a piece of paper.
C．Help users to spend less money. D．Turn an idea into a physical object.
30．What does the underlined part mean in this passage
A．Make users’ lives easier. B．Make friends with users.
C．Make 3D printers easier to use. D．Use 3D printers to make money.
31．What can we infer from the passage
A．3D printing is becoming popular in the world.
B．KiChong Tran opened a 3D printing business in Cambodia.
C．The UPS Store is the biggest 3D printing company.
D．3D printing plays the most important role in daily life.
32．What’s the passage mainly about
A．The future of 3D printing in the world.
B．The 3D printing business in Cambodia.
C．The development and growth of 3D printing business.
D．The 3D printing classes and services in different places.
The Changjiang River, also known as the Yangtze River, is one of the longest rivers in the world. It is important to the Chinese people and is called the “mother river”. It is not just a natural wonder — it is also a symbol of the Chinese nation.
Nowadays, the Yangtze River National Cultural Park comes into view. How to protect Yangtze River culture and improve cultural confidence is a new task for the places near the Yangtze River.
The Yangtze River National Cultural Park, which is also an important “National Park” project, goes across 13 provinces with 841 national-level intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) projects, 465 historical and cultural cities, towns, and villages, as well as 91 national-level museums. It expresses China’s traditional, revolutionary (革命的), and socialist advanced cultures.
With over 2,200 years’ history, Jiujiang plays an important part in the Yangtze River National Cultural Park. To protect Yangtze River culture, Jiujiang creates the “Most Beautiful Yangtze River Bank”. Jiujiang makes it possible that the park not only protects cultural heritage but also further improves the quality of people’s life there. The park turns Jiujiang into a place where visitors can learn more about historical stories and enjoy natural beauty. It also helps local communities by creating jobs in tourism.
The Yangtze River National Cultural Park project carries the great meaning for the Chinese nation. The project is based on the rich cultural resources (资源). The Yangtze River National Cultural Park project holds value in many fields such as water resources protection, social development and educational programs for students. It draws a new painting and shows harmony (和谐) between nature, people and cities.

A．The Cultural Development of Jiujiang B．The Long History of the Yangtze River
C．The Yangtze River National Cultural Park D．The Importance of the Yangtze River
①Planting trees can cut down CO2 in the air, but just doing this isn’t enough to deal with climate change. Now one way discussed widely is carbon capture (碳捕获). It refers to the technology that can protect the earth against climate change by cutting down CO2 in the air.
②Carbon capture technology is used to collect CO2 that is given off by factories. For example, it can be fitted to coal-burning power stations and factories to capture the CO2, before it is given off by factories. The captured CO2 can then be liquefied (液化) and stored underground. Besides, the technology can also be used to collect the CO2 that has already gone into the air.
③Then how can we deal with the CO2 we capture Proper utilization (利用) is truly important. It can not only help create markets for this new technology, but also make it cheaper for companies to use. Nowadays, CO2 is used in greenhouses to grow vegetables. CO2 can even be used to make useful products, such as plastics, building materials, and paints.
④Carbon capture is considered to be quite helpful. However, there are many problems on the way. There’s 50 billion tons of carbon going out to the air from cars and factories every year. But even a great number of carbon capture machines now can capture only a few dozens of tons of it. The thickness of CO2 in the open air is about 300 times less than that in the power stations or factories, making it much less efficient to capture CO2. Because of this, carbon capture machines are very expensive today. So, it’s hard to make a real difference in fighting climate change now. But it will be improved quickly and will become cheaper and more efficient. It is like the mobile phones which were expensive and difficult to use 20 years ago. But now mobile phones have been greatly improved.
37．What can carbon capture technology be used for
A．Helping protect trees. B．Cutting down CO2 in the air.
C．Studying the condition of the air. D．Checking signs of climate change.
38．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The ways in which the technology works. B．The advantage of the technology.
C．The secrets behind the technology. D．The development of the technology.
39．What can we know from the passage
A．The market for CO2 products is growing fast.
B．Carbon capture technology hasn’t been widely used.
C．The cost of fixing the carbon capture machines is high.
D．There is more CO2 in the open air than that in factories.
40．Why does the writer mention the example of mobile phones
A．To express the personal interest in mobile phones.
B．To show carbon capture technology will be improved.
C．To raise a new topic of how technology influences our life.
D．To advise readers to take an interest in the development of technology.
The impact of fast fashion on the environment is significant. Recently, Zara, one of the largest fast-fashion retailers (零售商) in the world, put forth a concept that only sustainable fabrics are used in clothing production. But how can Zara ever be sustainable They produce around 450 million garments (衣服) a year and release 500 new designs a week, about 20,000 a year. Zara’s fast-fashion model has been so successful that it has inspired an entire industry to follow it.
Clothing production doubled from 2012 to 2022. The average consumer bought 60 percent more clothing in 2022 than in 2012, but kept each garment half as long. And less than one percent of all clothing produced globally is recycled.
I spend a lot of time reading the corporate social responsibility reports of large brands and interviewing micro-to-small-sized enterprises to see how they approach sustainability. The largest significant difference between them is culture.
Small brands focus on creating a culture of sustainability by using strategies like producing made-to-order, so they are not making more than what is sold. Most small brands are opting to work under an “anti-fashion calendar”. They choose not to follow the intense seasonal calendar that fashion functions under. They do this because waste is one of their biggest concerns. They also design clothing to be of the highest quality, ensuring durability and longevity, so you may keep it longer.
Fast fashion is a “grow or die” business, and the fast-fashion growth model used by all large companies is predicated on limitless growth. Large global corporate retailers are not seeking to change their fundamental business model or create cultures of sustainability. That would require reworking their entire business structure and ultimately hurt their bottom line.
I would start to believe Zara and other large fashion brands had good intentions to fight climate change if they started to look at how to move away from their continuous offerings of weekly new products. They need to introduce alternative sustainable business model practices. One small step could be to offer repair or tailoring services. Tailoring creates clothes that fit perfectly, subsequently increasing their emotional value, so that we love them and keep them longer.
41．What does the author intend to show with the numbers about Zara in paragraph 1
A．Zara is not eco-friendly. B．Zara is popular with consumers.
C．Zara is a large fast-fashion retailer. D．Zara is a success in fashion industry.
42．Which of the following shows a cultural feature of small brands
A．Designing clothing as needed. B．Designing clothing seasonally.
C．Producing clothing as needed. D．Producing clothing seasonally.
43．What does the underlined part “bottom line” in paragraph 5 relate to
A．The fast-fashion retailers. B．The profits from fast fashion.
C．The culture of sustainability. D．The relationship with consumers.
44．What does the last paragraph focus on
A．How to make consumers love their clothes.
B．How to make consumers buy less clothing.
C．How large fashion brands offer weekly new products.
D．How large fashion brands improve their services.
One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate (气候) change, autumn is changing.
According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season.
“Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.”
Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests (害虫) stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.”
If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to delay (延缓) this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently.
Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow.
45．Which is NOT the effect of climate change on autumn
A．The season length is becoming longer. B．Leaves are changing their colors later.
C．There is much more frost in autumn. D．Pests keep active longer than before.
46．In which of the following blanks can we put the word “ruin”
Last month, a fireworks show in the Himalayas might badly ① the local environment. The noise could scare wild animals, and the ② left might pollute the land. Human beings should learn to ③ and protect nature. It’s necessary for us to find a ④ between development and protection.
A．① B．② C．③ D．④
47．What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to
A．The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s life.
B．Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before.
C．The autumn changes because of climate change.
D．Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions.
48．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. B．To call for actions against climate change.
C．To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D．To explain the research about leaf phenology.
Tianzhu Mountain in Anhui is famous for its high cliffs (悬崖) and amazing sights. But keeping this mountain clean is not easy. Tourists throw rubbish on the cliffs. Every day, a group of brave (勇敢的) workers pick up the rubbish. They are called the “cliffside cleaners”.
One worker is Tu Yousheng. He started to work here over 20 years ago. Every morning, he uses safety ropes (绳索), takes a rubbish bag, and climbs down the cliffs. The wind is strong, and the rocks are huge, but he carefully picks up every piece of rubbish. Sometimes, rubbish gets caught between rocks. He has to work hard to pull it out.
Tu grew up near Tianzhu Mountain. He loves it like his home. “This job is dangerous, but someone has to do it,” he says. Over 20 years, Tu has climbed 2,800 km—as far as from Beijing to Urumqi! His team work in hot summers and cold winters but never stop.
Besides (除了) cleaning, Tu also teaches tourists about taking care of nature. When he sees tourists litter, he kindly asks them to stop and explains why it is important to keep nature clean. Many visitors listen to him and even help clean up.
Thanks to these cleaners, Tianzhu Mountain stays beautiful. Their hard work reminds us to care for nature. Next time you travel somewhere, remember not to drop litter.
49．What does Tu Yousheng’s daily work show
A．Why tourists drop litter. B．How to use safety ropes. C．How dangerous cliff cleaning is.
50．Why does Tu keep doing this job for so many years
A．Because he loves the mountain.
B．Because he wants to be famous.
C．Because he likes dangerous activities.
51．What else does Tu do besides cleaning
A．He tells the history of the mountain.
B．He teaches about nature care.
C．He encourages people to climb Tianzhu Mountain.
52．What is the main message of this story
A．Tianzhu Mountain is amazing. B．Respect nature and don’t litter. C．Climbing is good exercise.
When we choose a house, we all want to have nice neighbors, because most of us think that they are helpful to our life. But what kind of neighbour is good The answers are different from person to person. Here are my answers.

56．What’s the structure (结构) of this passage (Paragraph 1 =①,…)
A．B．C． D．
Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on the earth. What many people don’t know is that junk (垃圾) has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.
Objects (物体), like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds. They are so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become a danger to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashes into a spaceship, it can damage the spaceship.
To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they will break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a US satellite hit an old Russian satellite in 2009, they broke into thousands of pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere (大气层) after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists are also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In the UK, scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to the earth to be safely destroyed.
“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.
“It’s time to act now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.
57．What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Telescopes. B．Satellites.
C．Pieces of space junk. D．BBC News reports.
58．Why is space junk considered a problem
A．Because it burns up after it enters the atmosphere.
B．Because it often blocks the view of the telescopes on the earth.
C．Because it can force (迫使) new space tools to travel at slower speeds.
D．Because it may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.
59．Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that _____.
A．the tools can be reused later B．the tools won’t become space junk
C．the earth’s atmosphere can stay clean D．the effects of the space flight can be studied
60．How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk
A．Catch it with nets. B．Use robots to collect it.
C．Burn it in the earth’s atmosphere. D．Send it further away from the earth.
In ancient (古代的) China, people had three names: their last name, first name, and courtesy name (字). Do you know Li Bai His last name is Li. His first name is Bai. And his courtesy name is Taibai.
People use their first names when they are with their family or friends. And your elders, like your grandparents and parents, call your first name at home. But people use their courtesy names when they work.
Boys get their courtesy names when they are 20 years old. Girls get their courtesy names after they get married (结婚).

A． B．
C． D．
A new study suggests that roosters (公鸡) can recognize (认出) themselves in a mirror (镜子).
Scientists use the “mark test” to test whether an animal can recognize itself. A mark is put on an animal, usually in a spot that can only be seen in a mirror. Then the animal is allowed to look in a mirror. If the animal seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has recognized itself.
The list of animals who can recognize themselves in a mirror isn’t long. The skill has mainly been found in animals with large brains, like dolphins, chimpanzees and elephants. Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test.
Scientists at the University of Bonn in Germany recently ran the mark test on roosters. They put a pink triangle (三角形) on the chests of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark.
The scientists then needed a different way to test whether the roosters could recognize themselves.
When there’s danger—like a hawk (鹰) flying above—roosters make loud calls to warn nearby chickens. But roosters only make the cries if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they remain quiet so the hawk won’t see them.
The scientists realized that they could use the shadow (影子) of a hawk to test whether or not the roosters thought they were alone—even when they could see “another” chicken in a mirror.
First, the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a closed space and having a mirror around. Then, they ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above a rooster and watching how it reacted. When there was no mirror, the rooster reacted as usual. It called out when it was near another rooster (Picture ▲ ), but remained quiet when it was alone. But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror, it wasn’t fooled into thinking there was another rooster. It remained silent under the hawk shadow. It did this even if there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror.
The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters.
65．What is the purpose of the “mark test”
A．To compare different animals’ intelligence.
B．To measure an animal’s brain size.
C．To see if an animal can recognize itself.
D．To test a bird’s ability to fly.
66．What does the underlined word “them” refer to
A．Hawks. B．Roosters. C．Chickens. D．Scientists.
67．Which of the following pictures can be put into ▲
A． B． C． D．
68．What can we infer from the passage
A．Roosters prefer to make no sound when they face danger alone.
B．Roosters are not as smart as dolphins, chimpanzees and elephants.
C．The mark test can exactly tell if an animal can recognize itself in the mirror.
D．When seeing its image in the mirror, the rooster thinks there’s another rooster.
Dinosaurs lived on Earth a long time ago. They were the rulers of the planet for millions of years. There were many different kinds of dinosaurs.
Some dinosaurs were huge. For example, the Brachiosaurus had a very long neck. It could eat leaves from the tops of tall trees. The Tyrannosaurus Rex, or T-Rex for short, was a fierce meat-eater. It had sharp teeth and strong legs. Other dinosaurs were small. The Compsognathus was about the size of a chicken. It was a fast runner and ate small animals.
Dinosaurs laid eggs. Some dinosaur eggs were as small as eggs from birds today, while others were much bigger.
Scientists learn about dinosaurs by studying fossils. Fossils are the remains of dinosaurs, like bones or footprints, that have turned into rock over time.
Dinosaurs died out, but they still fascinate people of all ages, especially kids who love to learn about these amazing creatures from the past.

Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space, like behind a sofa or under the bed Wouldn’t it be nice to just suck it up and get it out with a tool Well, robots will soon make this possible.
In a study, scientists from the University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have invented small robots that can quickly change into liquid states. They melted (熔化) into liquid and managed to get out of a locked cage during the tests, shocking the whole scientific community.
According to the website Mashable, the scientists got the idea from sea cucumbers (海参), which can change the softness of their bodies and easily enter any place. The robots in the study were made from a soft metal, which has a low melting point of only 30°C． The scientists first placed the robot in a magnetic field (磁场). Thanks to the magnetic field, the robot can then be heated into a liquid form, allowing it to enter some hard-to-reach places. After that, by controlling the strength or direction of the magnetic field, the robot can be moved around in a controlled manner.
Hopefully, these liquid robots can be widely used in different fields and will not disappoint us. They can help take out a foreign object from a model human stomach. Scientists can use them to repair a TV set by squeezing them into hard-to-reach areas inside the TV set. To prevent humans from being harmed, these robots can perform dangerous tasks in hard-to-reach environments, such as cleaning in nuclear power plants (核电站).
“What we’re showing are just ideas that need to be developed further,” said Carmel Majidi of Carnegie Mellon University. “The goal of our future research is to put these liquid robots to use in real-life situations more quickly. We are very confident about achieving this goal.”
73．The writer started the passage by ________.
A．giving examples B．telling stories C．comparing facts D．asking questions
74．The liquid robot works in the order of ________.
a. It is heated into a liquid form. b. It is put in a magnetic field.
c. The magnetic field is used to move robots. d. It enters some hard-to-reach places.
A．a-c-d-b B．a-b-c-d C．b-a-d-c D．d-b-a-c
75．This passage mainly wants to tell us ________.
A．what liquid robots can do now and in the future
B．why scientists invented liquid robots
C．where small liquid robots are invented
D．how liquid robots work in a magnetic field
76．The passage is written in a(n) ________ tone (语气).
