Animations bring stories to life through moving pictures. The process starts with ideas and scripts. Artists then create characters and scenes. After that, they decide how each scene will move. Next, some artists use the computer to draw thousands of frames (帧). And many draw with special pens. Finally, sound effects and music are added to complete the work.
Cartoons and animated movies have a long history. In the 1930s, Walt Disney made the full-colour animation. Snow White was his most famous early work. Today, studios like Pixar use 3D technology to make films more vivid.
Comic books often give ideas to animation makers. For example, Spider-Man first appeared in comic books in 1962. The brave hero quickly won kids’ love. In 1967 it became a popular cartoon character. Animations help people visit amazing places in our minds. People love animations; so they watch them a lot. More people watching means more money for making new ones. This helps animations continue to grow quickly.
1．How do artists draw thousands of frames
2．Why do studios like Pixar use 3D technology
3．When did Spider-Man become a popular cartoon character
4．What is your favourite Chinese cartoon character Write 30 words or more.

When people watch movies, they often care about what to see. However, what to hear is also very important. The voices of the characters help to bring them to life. Lu Yanting, 38, is the voice actor for little Ne Zha in the movie Ne Zha 2. She uses her voice to create a strong Ne Zha who fights against his fate (命运).
“Dubbing (配音) is a lot like acting,” says Lu. “Voice actors get the story first. After reading it, they have their own understanding of the story and characters.

For young people who want to become voice actors, Lu says, “If you truly love it, give your all to it. You may not know what the future holds, but you can make the most of the present.” Using a line from Ne Zha 1, she says, “Who you are is only for you to decide.”

Last month, my school held an art exhibition in the gym, and it became one of the most unforgettable experiences in my middle school life. I even submitted a watercolour painting of my hometown’s old street, which I had spent two weeks preparing.
On the opening day, the gym was crowded with students and teachers. Colourful paintings, delicate paper cuttings, and creative sculptures were displayed neatly on the shelves. When I saw my painting hanging on the wall with a small label with my name, my heart beat fast with excitement. Many classmates stopped to look at it and praised the bright colours I used to show the sunset over the old street.
I also met Ms Li, our art teacher. She patted my shoulder and said, “Your work tells a warm story about your hometown. Art is not just about being perfect—it’s about expressing your true feelings.” Her words made me understand the real meaning of art better.
Before leaving, I took a photo with my painting. That day, I not only felt proud of my work but also fell more in love with art. It made me realise that art can connect people and share beautiful moments.

Wheat Straw Painting (麦秆画) first appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties. Today, some people are still interested in it, and Zhang Li is one of them. She became interested in Wheat Straw Painting when she was 16 years old. In 2015, she set up her own workroom. Now, Zhang Li realizes that Wheat Straw Painting is what she wants to do for the rest of her life.
She collects lots of wheat straw in the countryside. She dries the straw in the sun and then cuts it by hand. Colorful straws, like red, orange and brown can be found in her artworks. “They are all natural,” Zhang Li said. Different colors make her paintings beautiful.
In order to develop Wheat Straw Painting, she came up with the idea of mixing it with other traditional Chinese art. So she spent two years learning Suzhou embroidery (苏绣) from some famous artists.
One of her greatest works is a bird among flowers. It took her the whole year to finish it. The bird’s smooth-shiny and colorful feathers are made of wheat straw, while the flowers are made of silk. “In my works, you will find paintings and embroideries mix well,” said Zhang Li.

In the Eastern Han dynasty of China, there was a wise and hardworking man named Cai Lun. He lived over 1,900 years ago and spent most of his life serving the royal court. At that time, people had a big problem: they had no convenient way to record information.
Before Cai Lun’s time, people wrote on bamboo slips or silk. Bamboo slips were heavy—carrying a few books made of bamboo was like carrying a big stone! Silk was light and smooth, but it was very expensive. Only rich people could afford it. Cai Lun felt sorry for the scholars who had to carry heavy bamboo slips and the ordinary people who couldn’t afford silk. So he decided to find a better material for writing.
Cai Lun travelled around to learn from local craftsmen. He collected all kinds of materials: bark, hemp, rags, and even fishing nets. He took these materials back to his workshop and tried different ways to process them. He crushed the materials into pulp (浆状物), mixed it with water, and then spread the mixture on a thin screen to dry. Day after day, he failed many times. Sometimes the pulp was too thick, and the paper was rough; sometimes it was too thin, and it broke easily. But Cai Lun never gave up.
After countless experiments, Cai Lun finally succeeded. He made a kind of paper that was light, thin, cheap, and easy to write on. In 105, he presented his invention to the emperor. The emperor was very happy and praised Cai Lun for his great work. Soon, Cai Lun’s papermaking method spread all over China, and later to other countries in the world.
Cai Lun’s invention changed the world. It made it easier for people to record knowledge, spread ideas, and communicate with each other. Today, even though we have computers and phones, paper is still an important part of our life. We should always remember the great inventor who brought convenience to the world with his perseverance.
36．What problem did people face before Cai Lun invented the new paper
37．What materials did Cai Lun use to make paper
38．Why did Cai Lun decide to invent a new writing material
39．When did Cai Lun present his invention to the emperor
40．How did Cai Lun’s invention change the world
41．Suppose you could travel back to the Eastern Han dynasty and meet Cai Lun when he was doing experiments. What would you say to him (no more than 30 words)

In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made a great invention—the telephone. For the first time in history, people could talk to someone far away just like they were in the same room. But today, phones can do much more than just make calls!
The story of mobile phones began with two-way radios. These early devices (设备) had a big problem—they only worked when people were close to each other. In the 1940s, smart scientists found a way. They built tall radio towers across the country to pass signals (信号) easily.
Everything changed in 1973 when Dr. Martin Cooper made the first real mobile phone call. During the 1980s, mobile phones became smaller but were still very expensive. Only rich business people could afford them, and the phones looked like big plastic bricks.
The 1990s brought another big change. Phones became cheaper and smaller, fitting easily in pockets. Soon, almost everyone had one. Text messaging became popular. People started writing short messages instead of making phone calls. Meeting time became more flexible (灵活的) because you could just text “I’ll be 15 minutes late.”
Now we have smartphones—like powerful mini-computers in our pockets. We use them to take photos, watch videos, play games, and even help with housework! Messaging apps let us send videos and long messages easily. While phones help us stay connected, some people worry that we spend too much time on them.
Looking back, it’s amazing how phones have changed. From Bell’s simple telephone to today’s smartphones, this has truly changed our lives. What will phones be able to do next Only time will tell!
42．When did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone
43．Why did scientists build tall radio towers in the 1940s
44．Who made the first real mobile phone call
45．How can smartphones help us in our lives (请给出两个例子)
46．What do you think the future phones might be like (请自拟一句话作答)

After a game like football, the players might get an X-ray in the hospital if they hurt their legs or arms. A dentist can use X-rays to look at teeth. And airport workers use an X-ray machine to check objects before a plane leaves. Nowadays, X-ray technology is widely used in medicine and other fields.
X-rays were first discovered by a German scientist, Wilhelm Conrad R ntgen (1845 – 1923). He found them quite by accident in 1895. One day, he discovered that an unknown kind of radiation (放射线) could hardly pass through hard objects like bones (骨头). Later, R ntgen took a photo of his wife's hand. It clearly showed her ring and her bones. That was the first X-ray photo in the world.
Why is there an“X” in the word X-ray It’s because R ntgen couldn’t explain exactly how it worked. He just knew that X-rays were new and useful for science. In fact, X-rays soon became an important tool in medicine. With the help of X-rays, doctors could see inside the human body for the first time without surgery (外科手术).
R ntgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize (诺贝尔奖) in physics in 1901 for his discovery. When he was asked what he was thinking at the moment of discovery, he replied, “I didn’ t think, I investigated (研究).” R ntgen gave away his Nobel Prize money to his university. And he never took out any patents (专利权) on X-rays, to make sure that the world could freely make use of his discovery.
47．Where is X-ray technology used
48．When were X-rays discovered
49．Why did R ntgen name the ray“X-ray”
50．What do you think of R ntgen Why Write 30 words or more.

In a village, two friends, Munachar and Manachar, looked so alike that people thought they were brothers.
One day, they went to pick raspberries. Munachar filled his basket, but when he looked, it was empty! He saw Manachar with red juice on his face. “You ate my berries!” he shouted. Manachar just grinned.
Munachar thought. “I’ll get a ladder and put you at the top of this tree! Then you can’t steal!”
“But you have no ladder,” laughed Manachar.

The bus screeched to a stop at camp, and Elliott was jostled in the noisy crowd of kids as they hurried off. His hat was knocked over his eyes, but he finally dragged his suitcase into the bright sunshine. After a counselor in a yellow shirt sorted him into Cabin Seven, he followed his four cabinmates along a dirt path to their dark, musty cabin. He claimed a bottom bunk (下铺) at the back, hoping to read quietly, but his enthusiastic cabinmate Zack soon invited him for a swim. Elliott went reluctantly, because swimming wasn’t his favorite, and he would shiver at the freezing lake water. Seizing the chance when counselors were distracted by other kids, he sneaked off to the woods, eager for peace and quiet.
Deep in the shadowy woods, Elliott settled in a mossy dell (小山谷) and pulled out his book Prince Caspian. Suddenly, a deep voice asked, “What are you reading ” He turned to see a huge, friendly purple-furred creature named Nocturnis, who came from the Monster Kingdom to seek quiet. Nocturnis offered to share a special place with him.
Elliott climbed onto Nocturnis’s soft furry back. The creature pulled a glowing blue flower from its fur, and they floated gently up through the towering trees. Elliott, who usually feared heights, felt calm. They reached a nest atop a giant thousand-year-old tree, where Elliott read Prince Caspian aloud.

Long ago in Turkey, there lived a young girl who had never felt fear—she didn’t even know what it meant. One stormy night, strong winds slammed open the door of her small house. Her mother screamed in fright, urging her to close it. The girl calmly latched the door and asked, “What does ‘frightened’ mean ” When her mother explained it was fear in the heart, she decided to set off the next day to find this “fear.”

The real treasure
During the summer holiday, 14-year-old Emma visited her grandparents in the countryside. One afternoon, she helped them clean the attic (阁楼). In an old wooden box, she found a simple, handmade clay cup. It looked a little rough and wasn’t beautiful at all. “This old thing is probably worthless,” she thought, almost throwing it away.
Her grandfather saw it and his eyes lit up. “Ah, my treasure,” he said with a warm smile. He told Emma the story behind the cup. His father, Emma’s great-grandfather, had made it with his own hands when he was a young man. The family was poor then, and it was the only cup they had for a long time. It had been used for many happy family meals. Emma was confused. “But it doesn’t look special. How much is it worth ” she asked.
Grandfather gently held the cup. “Its price might be zero in a shop,” he explained. “But its value to our family is great. It holds our family’s memories and love. That is something money cannot buy. ”
Emma finally understood. Price is the number on a tag, but value is the real importance something has in your heart. A new, shiny cup from a store has a price, but this old clay cup has a story. It represented hard work, family history, and love. That was its true value.
She carefully placed the cup back in the box, now seeing it not as an old object, but as a priceless piece of her family’s story.

The amazing journey of money
Have you ever wondered how people acquired goods before money was invented Long ago, people used a system called “barter” to get what they needed. Barter is the direct exchange of goods for other goods. For example, a farmer with too much rice could trade with a fisherman for some fresh fish. Both parties had to have something the other wanted, which was often difficult. This is known as the “double coincidence of wants.”
However, the barter system had many problems.What if the fisherman didn't need rice that day What if the goods were not easy to divide or carry For instance, it was impractical (不切实际的）to carry a cow to the market just to buy a few shoes.
Slowly, people started to use certain items as a medium of exchange. Some cultures used rare and beautiful things like cowrie shells or salt. In China, bronze tools and weapons were also used. These items were widely accepted and could be used to “buy” various goods and services, making trade much easier.
As societies advanced, people began to use precious metals like gold and silver. These metals were made into coins of standard sizes and values, which was a huge step forward. Later, even lighter and more convenient paper money appeared. Today, we are in the age of digital money, where payments can be made with a simple tap on a phone. From barter to Bitcoin, the journey of money reflects the creativity of human beings in solving problems. Task 1:
74．What was the main problem with the barter system according to the passage
75．Why was it impractical to trade a cow for a few pairs of shoes
76．List two items that were once used as a medium of exchange before coins.
77．What major advantage did metal coins bring to trade
78．How does the author describe the way we pay today
Task 2:
79．Imagine if our society returned to a barter system today. Describe one major difficulty we would face. (In 30 words.)

Weeks later, the farmer planned a trip to the market. He asked his son to leave milk for the snake every evening. The son agreed but thought his father was foolish. He decided to kill the snake and take all the coins at once to get rich quickly.

The Sea King ruled the ocean off New Zealand’s coast. He was young and brave, with a thick mane of green hair like seaweed and striking tattoos on his arms. His fortress was a black stone reef adorned with colorful seashells, sponges, and corals. Crabs, octopuses, and seagulls served as his servants, while groups of silvery fish formed his loyal army.
One calm afternoon, the Sea King heard soft weeping from the nearby shore. Curious, he swam closer and found a woman sitting on the beach, tears streaming down her face. She was from a coastal village that regularly offered tribute (贡品) to him. Surprised by his appearance, she wiped her eyes and explained her sorrow: she’d had a small argument with her husband, who then fled to an inland village. When she went to fetch him back, the inland villagers refused to let her see him, mocking her and saying people from the sea were worthless.
Furious at their rudeness and prejudice, the Sea King summoned a faithful seagull. “Deliver this message to the inland village,” he ordered. “Send the husband back to his wife at once. I command it!” The seagull flew off, but the village chief laughed at the message and refused to obey.
Enraged, the Sea King gathered his thousands of silvery fish soldiers for war. They marched ashore on their fins, a magnificent silvery tide.
