A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
14．What did the writer become aware of
A．She had ever typed a report about seeds. B．She had various snacks while watching TV.
C．She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D．She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds.
15．What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year
A．The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B．Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
C．The families get together for it. D．Children can eat delicious food on that day.
16．The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________.
A．neutral(中立的) B．critical(批评的) C．acceptable D．doubtful
17．What lesson can we learn from the story
A．One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B．It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C．Eating habits come from a certain culture. D．Changing your eating habits will change your life.
For many years, school children in the US have taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage.
However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury.
Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun.
Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost.
18．What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions
A．To leach students useful skills in economics.
B．To make every student exposed to art and culture.
C．To educate students to preserve cultural heritage.
D．To encourage parents to take their children there.
19．Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips
A．The drop in school funds. B．Students’ demand for fun.
C．The dilemma of school finance. D．Teachers’ generational differences.
20．What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The switch from old generations to young generations.
B．The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences.
C．The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain.
D．The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions.
21．What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene
A．Students are rewarded with more cultural knowledge.
B．Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences.
C．Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum.
D．Field trips guarantee better future academic performance.
Up until recently, 16-year-old Esraa Elsharkawy had doubts about artificial intelligence (AI). “I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting,” she says. She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked, but she wanted to learn more. The only problem: She couldn’t get that kind of education at her high school in Katy, Texas.
For years, research has shown a digital divide in schools’ teaching about new technologies. For example, rich suburban schools are more likely to have computer science classes than poorer urban and rural districts.
A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues: from drone (无人机)-based wildfire monitoring to medical problem-solving.
At Princeton, campers worked on AI solutions to real-life challenges in medicine, robotics and environmental science. On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along.
Elsharkawy attended the camp and said the experience changed her idea of AI. She said theAI4All program “definitely helps with the digital divide.” Ryan Chou, from California, called the camp a “small but impactful” step and wanted it expanded.
Public K-12 teachers see both benefits and risks in AI, according to a survey. A majority of those surveyed believe AI will improve accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities. Still,40% of them say they don’t use AI at all. And more than half of the 40% believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically.
22．What does the underlined word “off-putting” mean in paragraph 1
A．Unsettling. B．Disappointing.
C．Promising. D．Relaxing.
23．What’s the goal of the camp
A．To introduce AI to young learners.
B．To improve AI education.
C．To apply AI in math learning.
D．To address digital divide.
24．How did the campers react to the AI courses
A．They engaged in the courses actively.
B．They showed respect for professors.
C．They enjoyed the teaching methods.
D．They had trouble following the lessons.
25．What is the best title for the passage
A．Princeton Professors Inspire the Next Generation of Engineers
B．The Risks and Benefits of AI in High School Education
C．Bridging the Digital Divide Through Summer Camp
D．How Generative AI Is Changing Education

56．Dear David,
I strongly recommend that you seize this opportunity. A year-long exchange in China will be an unforgettable experience.
Firstly, you’ll have a chance to expose yourself to a completely different culture and improve your Chinese rapidly. More importantly, living abroad will help you develop independence and broaden your horizons — qualities that will benefit you for life. Finally, I also suggest learning some basic Chinese beforehand to help you adjust quickly to the environment.
I’m sure this will be a life-changing journey for you.
Yours,
Li Hua
