Alice replied, rather shyly, “I—I hardly know, sir, just at present—at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I have been changed several times since then.” She felt cross and decided to leave.
“Come back!” the Caterpillar called. “I’ve something important to say!”
This sounded hopeful, so Alice turned back.
“Keep your temper,” said the Caterpillar.
“I will” said Alice, trying not to be angry.
“No,” said the Caterpillar. It smoked without speaking. At last it took the hookah (水烟袋) out of its mouth and said, “So you think you’re changed, do you How tall do you want to be ”
“A little taller, please,” said Alice. “Three inches is such an awful height.”
In silence, the Caterpillar smoked its hookah. Then it got down off the mushroom (蘑菇), saying, “One side will make you grow taller, and the other will make you grow shorter.”
“One side of what ” thought Alice to herself.
“Of the mushroom,” said the Caterpillar, as if she had asked it aloud.
Alice looked at the round mushroom carefully. “No sides at all!” she said to herself. At last she broke off a piece from each side. She ate a little bit of the piece in her right hand nervously and she became smaller right away. So she took a bite from the left-hand piece.

Amy, a middle school student, tried a new way to learn about history—she took an online tour of the China Grand Canal Museum. “My history teacher told us that Yangzhou has a deep connection with the Grand Canal,” Amy said. “Since I couldn’t visit the museum in person, the online tour was a perfect choice.”
The China Grand Canal Museum has a user-friendly website. When Amy entered it, she saw a virtual gate that looked just like the real museum’s entrance. By clicking the mouse, she could “walk”into different exhibition halls. In the “Canal and City Hall”, there were 3D models showing how Yangzhou grew into a busy city because of the Grand Canal. She could even zoom in to look at small details, like old boats and ancient shops along the river.
Amy’s favourite part was the “Virtual Experience Hall”. There, she put on her headphones and watched a short video. It felt like she was sitting on a boat, sailing along the ancient canal and passing Yangzhou’s old bridges. “I could almost hear the water and the sound of people selling snacks by the river,” she said.
The online museum also has a “Knowledge Test”section. After Amy finished her tour, she took a short quiz about the Grand Canal’s history. When she answered a question correctly, a little cartoon character popped up to cheer for her. “It made learning fun, not boring at all,” Amy smiled.
At the end of the tour, Amy saved a digital postcard from the museum. It had a picture of the Grand Canal at sunset. “I want to visit the real museum in person one day,” she said. “But this online tour has already taught me so much about the city’s history.”
58.Why did Amy visit the China Grand Canal Museum online
A. Because she didn’t like the real museum.
B. Because the online museum was cheaper.
C. Because her teacher asked her to visit it online.
D. Because she couldn’t go to the museum in person.
59.What did Amy do in the “Virtual Experience Hall”
A. She taught others about canal history.
B. She put on headphones and watched a short video.
C. She saved a digital postcard of the canal.
D. She took a short quiz about the canal.
60.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Amy thought the online tour was boring.
B. There is a “Knowledge Test” part in the online museum.
C. Amy didn’t learn anything from the online tour.
D. Amy could not look at small details in the museum.
61.What can you infer from the passage
A. Amy shows great interest in the history of Yangzhou and the Grand Canal.
B. Amy thinks online tours are less interesting than real visits.
C. Amy will never visit the real China Grand Canal Museum.
D. Amy failed the knowledge test about the Grand Canal.
D
A “lobster” has been making waves (浪花) recently. It is not the kind you’d find on the dining table, but a new artificial intelligence (AI) agent. Its name is OpenClaw. Using a red lobster as its symbol, it was developed by Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger. In China, many people have set up this AI on their computers to “raise lobster”.
For a while now, we’ve had AI tools like ChatGPT. They can advise us on what to do, but they can’t reach into the real world to do it for us. Also, they only “talk” when asked.
OpenClaw, on the other hand, “actually does things”. For example, it can send emails and buy plane tickets. The AI works in chat apps, so you can text it like texting a friend.
OpenClaw also has a long “memory”. Over time, it learns what you like and follows your schedule. You can wake up in the morning to a message about your top three tasks without even having to ask the AI first.
This proactiveness (主动性) is made possible by something called a “heartbeat”, according to Claire Vo, a US AI expert. She explained that a heartbeat is a timer that goes off regularly (定时). With each “heartbeat”, the AI checks what comes next.
However, OpenClaw collects a lot of personal information from users, which is dangerous. In February, researchers found that important data from OpenClaw was put online without informing the users. Hackers (黑客) could use it to control users’ computers.
On March 8 and 10, the Chinese government gave its first-ever warnings about this kind of AI, telling people to be careful while using it.
62.What does the first sentence mean
A. An AI tool has become popular recently.
B. An AI lobster can teach people how to swim.
C. People found a new kind of lobster.
D. A pet lobster has become famous.
63.How is OpenClaw different from ChatGPT
A. It gives faster answers.
B. It offers people better advice.
C. It talks to people when they ask.
D. It can finish real tasks to help its users.
64.What does the “heartbeat” help OpenClaw do
A. Remember users’likes. B. Check what to do next.
C. Send messages to friends. D. Keep personal information safe.
65.What is the best title for the passage
A. A Popular Seafood —Lobster
B. OpenClaw: A Special “Lobster” AI
C. How to Use AI Tools Safely
D. The Problems with New AI
五、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。
66.The beautiful handiwork of leaf-vein embroidery (叶脉绣) in Tongren, Guizhou province, has made Guizhou embroidery famous in China.
Leaf-vein embroidery dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has been used to send information by several ethnic groups (民族) in the southwestern region.
Yang Li, an inheritor (传承人) of this skill, has brought together the traditional embroidery of the Miao, Tujia and Dong ethnic groups in the leaves. She also mixed traditional beauty with modern skill.
Leaf-vein embroidery artwork is highly valued because it is difficult to make. The key steps include picking and drying the leaves, then designing and embroidering the pattern. Leaves from plants in the thick forests of the Fanjing Mountain area in Tongren provide the best material. After the leaves naturally soften in about 20 days, they are fumigated (熏蒸). Then patterns, with ideas from ancient stories and nature, are drawn on the veins.
However, because leaf-vein embroidery needs long and hard work, it is not very easy to keep this traditional skill alive.
“During my lifetime, I feel I have a duty. I should do it better and pass on this skill.” Yang said. In 2022, Yang set up a training centre and has since shared leaf-vein embroidery through short videos with her student Yang Xinyu.
“Leaf-vein embroidery is a treasure. As a young person affected by my teacher Yang Li, I have kept on learning this skill and hope that more young people will return to their hometowns to carry on this skill.” Yang Xinyu said.
(1) When did leaf-vein embroidery start _________________________________
(2) Who has brought together the traditional embroidery of several ethnic groups in the leaves _________________________________
(3) How long do the leaves naturally soften before fumigating _________________________________
(4) Why is it not very easy to keep leaf-vein embroidery alive _________________________________
(5) What do you think of leaf-vein embroidery according to the passage _________________________________
