Water Bottles: A Hidden Health Risk
Reusable water bottles are very popular now. They are not just cool to carry, but also help you drink enough water. What’s more, they are good for the environment because they cut down on single-use plastic waste. But if you don’t clean them often, they can be bad for your health.
Why Because these bottles can hold lots of bacteria (细菌) and molds (霉菌). Even tap water isn’t totally clean. Bacteria grow easily in the bottle, especially when you keep it at room temperature. Most of the bacteria come from your mouth and hands. Every time you drink from the bottle. you add more bacteria to it. Some bad bacteria, like E.coli (大肠杆菌), can also get into the bottle if you don’t wash your hands after using the toilet. Studies say there can be as many bacteria in a dirty bottle as on a toilet seat!
Drinks like milkshakes or fruit juice make things worse. They have protein and sugar, which help bacteria grow fast.
So, how can we keep our water bottles clean It’s easy. Wash it often with hot water (over 60℃) and a little washing-up liquid. Use a bottle brush to clean the inside well. Let the bottle dry fully, maybe overnight. Don’t forget to clean the lid and straws too— they have bacteria too.
By cleaning our water bottles properly, we can enjoy the benefits of using them while staying healthy.
29. Water bottles can be harmful to our health because ________.
A. they are cool to carry B. they will make plastic waste
C. they can have lots of bacteria and molds D. they stop us from drinking enough water
30. Most of the bacteria in the water bottles come from ________.
A. the rooms B. people’s mouths and hands C. the toilet seats D. the tap water
31. We can follow these steps to clean water bottles. Please put the pictures into the correct order.
a. b. c.
A a→b→c B. b→a→c C. c→b→a D. c→a→b
32. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Drinking from a dirty water bottle may make people sick.
B. Tap water is not always clean.
C. We need to clean the lid of water bottles.
D. Bacteria in water bottles grow slowly in sugar drinks.
33. The writer mainly wants to tell us ________.
A. water bottles are bad for the environment
B. water bottles can be used to hold milkshake and fruit juice
C. water bottles have benefits but need regular cleaning
D. water bottles are not as clean as toilet seats
C. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.（选择最恰当的选项完成短文）（12分）
Curiosity Lights My Way
We all know how Isaac Newton discovered the law of gravity. One day in the 1660s, he happened to see an apple fall from a tree. A curious Newton didn’t just walk away. Instead, he ____34____ why the apple was drawn toward the earth. The rest, as they say, is history.
Centuries later, something ____35____ happened to Scottish microbiologist Alexander Fleming. One day, he noticed mold (霉菌) growing in a petri dish (培养皿). Following his curiosity, he went on to discover penicillin (青霉素).
Like many of you, I grew up reading stories like these. But now, as a ____36____ myself, I don’t just keep them alive in my memory. I also try to live out the lesson they teach.
I’m working on better ways to treat cancer (癌症). Since the beginning of my career, I’ve been interested in nanotechnology. I would like to ____37____ how it could help people fight cancer. It was quite a new idea in the field. This curiosity led me to study some special antibodies (抗体).These antibodies could give the immune system (免疫系统) extra strength to attack cancer cells (细胞). Meanwhile, they left healthy cells almost untouched. The more I learned, the more I wanted to dig deeper.
My curiosity finally brought me to the Maynard Lab at the University of Texas, a leading lab for antibody engineering. Moving to a new country was a big ____38____ for me. I also had to get used to a completely different research environment. Nothing was easy at first, but my curiosity kept me going and pushed me past every difficulty.
Without my curious mind, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Curiosity truly is a powerful engine that ____39____new findings. I’m glad I’ve never been afraid to take the road less traveled. Now, I can’t wait to see where my curiosity will lead me next.

Chatbots in the Classroom
Imagine you’re in school, staring at a pile of craft materials with no idea what to create. A friendly AI chatbot named Mundo could come to your rescue. Mundo uses artificial intelligence to answer questions and give creative ideas. For example, if you ask, “What can I make using cotton swabs and pipe cleaners ” Mundo might suggest making flowers, bookmarks, or even a skeleton. You can ask again if you don’t like the first answer, and it might give you something better.
Mundo is designed for students aged 13 and older. It uses the same AI technology as ChatGPT which can produce essays, code and other content. However, this has worried many teachers. Some students use it to cheat on assignments. A 2023 survey found that about half of students have used ChatGPT for tests, quizzes, or essays. Because of this, many schools have blocked the tool.
ChatGPT collects information about users, which might not be safe for young people’s personal information. Although users under 13 can’t create accounts, Mundo doesn’t require accounts at all to make it safer for kids.
Another problem is that chatbots sometimes make mistakes. They might give wrong information or even invent facts. For instance, ChatGPT once incorrectly said the fastest sea mammal is the peregrine falcon (指游隼), but falcons are not sea animals or mammals. This happens because chatbots work differently from search engines. They use large language models trained on internet content to predict words, which can lead to mistakes.
While AI chatbots like Mundo can be helpful in the classroom, it’s important to use them carefully. They can inspire creativity, but we must also watch out for cheating, privacy issues, and incorrect information.
Task1: Answer the questions.
40. What is Mundo
__________________________________________________________
41. Who is Mundo created for
__________________________________________________________
42. What does the underlined word “this” refer to
__________________________________________________________
43. How many disadvantages of Mundo are mentioned in the article
__________________________________________________________
44. Why does the writer give the example of peregrine falcon
__________________________________________________________
Task2: Answer the question.
45. What is your opinion on the use of chatbots in the classroom Please express your opinion and give your reason(s) in no less than 30 words.
