In 1902, British explorer Robert Falcon Scott saw many big black-and-white birds at Ross Island, Antarctica (南极洲罗斯岛). It was the first home of emperor penguins (帝企鹅) ever found. Now, only 124 years after that place was discovered, emperor penguins have been listed as endangered wild animals. What makes them in such danger
Emperor penguins rely on “fast” ice—sea ice strongly connected to the land—for nine months of the year. It’s where the little penguins are born and grow until they have waterproof feathers (防水羽毛). It’s also a safe place for adults to moult (脱毛) every year. They stay on the ice while their swimming feathers grow back.
But global warming has led to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice since 2016. When sea ice breaks up early, the whole area can fall into the water. The little penguins that aren’t fully grown may have difficulty swimming out. Even if some penguins get out of the water, they’re completely wet and will freeze to death.
The decrease in Antarctic sea ice has put emperor penguins in great danger. Between 2009 and 2018, the number of emperor penguins fell by 10%. Scientists say they could die out by the end of this century—unless we take action now. To better protect them, we must stop burning fossil fuels (化石燃料) as they produce a large amount of CO2.
The sad story of emperor penguins is a clear warning: A warming world cannot be saved tomorrow. We must act now before it’s too late.
4．How does the writer begin the passage
A．By listing endangered wild animals.
B．By telling emperor penguins’ past and present.
C．By comparing emperor penguins to other animals.

6．Which of the following will happen when sea ice breaks up early
A．Adult penguins will grow new feathers.
B．Little penguins will be in danger in water.
C．Young penguins will learn to swim faster.
7．What is the structure of the passage
A． B． C．
8．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Act now to save emperor penguins.
B．Less sea ice puts penguins in great danger.
C．Emperor penguins may die out this century.

Raising Your OpenClaw Lobster
In the past month, “raising a lobster (养龙虾)” has become popular among people of all ages across China.
Relax—we’re not talking about a real lobster. It is called OpenClaw, an AI “pet” that lives right on your computer or phone. Unlike older chatbots, which only tell you what to do, OpenClaw can do something for you. It can “work” with you, like organizing your files (文件), dealing with your emails or setting your timetable. So many people have made it a personal helper on their computers.
But what are the risks of raising this lobster Are we keeping a “pet” or a “beast (野兽)” Let’s hear what the two students think!
MikeOpenClaw is a highly effective (高效的) tool. It can help me quickly finish daily tasks that would usually take up a lot of time. For example, I can train it to record important dates on my calendar, or read and write emails for me. What’s more, I’m bad at remembering things, but OpenClaw has a memory that never forgets. It stores all information. Kathy Before you use OpenClaw, think about the risks of it. You are allowing it to not only know about your personal information but also change it. Some experts have warned that it can expose (暴露) your personal information. I think it is very bad for information safety. So what you need to do is to use it carefully and wisely.

Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky, rushing into the sea and never returning This poem describes a very beautiful scene of the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is the cradle of China’s civilization (中华文明的摇篮). It’s in northern China. It runs through nine provinces from west to east. It looks like the Chinese character “几”. It is the second longest river in China, and the fifth longest in the world. It finally flows into the Bohai Sea.
The Yellow River is also called the “mother river of China”. So flood (洪水) control and prevention have always been the key to the happy lives of people. Now, scientists can better solve these problems by giving the river a digital (数字) twin.
The Yellow River’s digital twin uses new technologies such as big data (数据), AI and Internet of Things to collect and send the information to the control center. According to the information, a 3D model of the river is shown on the computer screen, and it shows the real conditions of the Yellow River. It’s like the Yellow River has a twin.
One big success in the Yellow River’s protection is “smart stones”. They are put in important places along the river to record the movement of the river. As soon as smart stones feel the unusual movement of the river, they’ll send an alarm to the control center at once. In this way, the government can take action to protect the Yellow River in time.
And in the sky, drones (无人机) are flying to survey the flood prevention projects. Thanks to the drones, scientists can get the information about the Yellow River in time.
Under the water and up in the sky, intelligent devices (设备) are helping to protect the Yellow River. In the future, we’ll try our best to create better ways for the mother river’s protection.
14．According to the map, the “sea” in Paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A．the Yellow Sea B．the East China Sea C．the South China Sea D．the Bohai Sea
15．What can we know about the Yellow River and its protection
A．Its digital twin shows the real conditions of the river on the screen.
B．It is the second longest river in China and lies in the south of China.
C．Smart stones can stop the unusual movement of the river at once.
D．Drones under the water help collect information about the river in time.
16．What is the writer’s attitude (态度) towards the future of the Yellow River’s protection
A．Worried. B．Uninterested. C．Surprised. D．Hopeful.
17．What could be the best title for the passage
A．The Location of the Yellow River
B．Beautiful Scenes of the Yellow River
C．A Poem of Praising the Yellow River
D．New Ways of Protecting the Yellow River

Robots can already shop and cook. Now they can run half marathons (马拉松). On April 19, about 12,000 human runners and over 300 humanoid robots (人形机器人) started together at the 2026 Beijing E-Town Half Marathon. It was the world’s first human-robot half marathon on the same road.
The star was “Lightning” from Chinese company Honor, the winning robot. With no headwear on, it was a tall and thin robot with a round head and two long legs, which looked quite like a young man. Lightning finished in 50 minutes and 26 seconds—seven minutes faster than the human world record. From the start, it took the lead and kept it. However, Lightning hit a barrier and fell. After adjustments, it restarted and finished successfully, standing tall and unhurt while human runners fell to the ground, tired. The audience were impressed. Sun Zhigang said, “This is the first time robots have beaten humans.” Wang Wen added, “Robots may bring us more benefits than we can imagine. I just can’t wait to see what will happen ahead!”
The progress from last year was amazing. The winning robot back then took around twice this year’s time. Most robots needed engineers beside them. Only 6 of 20 teams finished. This year, nearly 40 percent of over 100 teams raced on their own, using sensors and cameras.
The race was not just about winning. Experts say that the technology Lightning used will change many industries. Running long distances on slopes and sharp turns helps solve key problems: battery life, heat control, and quick decisions. These are the same skills robots need for factories, home help, or disaster rescue. A robot that can finish a marathon is closer to being truly useful in daily life.
18．Which of the following pictures looks most like “Lightning”
A． B． C． D．
19．Why does the writer write the underlined sentence
A．To tell readers how Lightning felt after the race.
B．To show that robots can run without human help.
C．To compare the robot’s ability with that of humans.
D．To show robots are stronger than humans in every way.
20．How long did it take the robot-winner to finish the race last year
A．Less than 1 hour.
B．Exactly 1 hour.
C．About 1.5 hours.
D．Over 2 hours.
21．What can we infer according to the experts’ opinion in the last paragraph
A．Marathon robots will replace humans in all jobs.
B．Robots have already beaten humans at all tasks.
C．Robots that run fast are the most useful for factories.
D．The marathon race will help make robots useful later.
22．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Robots are getting better at running long distances.

Have you ever heard of face changing or “bianlian” in Chinese The amazing technique (技艺) in Sichuan Opera is used to express different feelings and characters through the actors’ face masks (面具).
There are over 300 kinds of local operas in China. Sichuan Opera is one of the oldest forms of Chinese opera. As the most interesting opera form from Southwest China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing and some areas of Yunnan and Guizhou.
The opera has three special techniques—changing faces, spitting (吐) fire, and rolling lights. Face changing is the most famous one. It is an important intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in China. Only a few actors have picked up this technique. They know how to change the face masks magically. As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again.
Face changing started about 300 years ago. In the beginning, opera actors changed the color of their faces by blowing into a bowl of red, black or gold powder (粉末). The powder would stick to their oiled skin quickly. In another way, actors would cover their faces with colored paste (糊状物) hidden in their hands. By the 1920s, opera actors began using masks made of oiled paper. They could peel them one after another faster. At present, the actors use full-face painted silk masks. They are so thin that actors can even change about 10 masks in 20 seconds.
As the materials of the masks are changing, we can enjoy more kinds of masks and they are much thinner than before. Sichuan Opera keeps developing because of new technologies.
23．What is face changing used for in Sichuan Opera
A．Telling stories in a creative way.
B．Expressing different feelings and characters.
C．Showing the performers’ amazing techniques.
24．Where is face changing popular in China
A．In Southwest China. B．In Northwest China. C．In Southeast China.
25．How do opera actors perform face changing
A．By doing magical tricks.
B．By moving their arms and heads.
C．By spitting fire and rolling lights.
26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A．Face changing became popular 300 years ago.
B．It’s easy for Sichuan people to learn face changing.
C．Silk masks increase the speed of face changing.

Artificial intelligence can now paint pictures, compose music, and write poems. Some people believe AI can be a great helper for artists. It can create in seconds what a human might need days to finish.
However, others argue that true art comes from human feelings and experiences. A painting created by AI might be beautiful, but does it have a soul The famous painter Zhang Wei once said, “AI can copy my style, but it can never feel the wind on the grassland or the pain of losing a loved one.” Many art competitions now have a rule: entries must be created by humans without AI. In a 2025 survey, 62% of readers thought that AI art should be clearly labelled. Yet, AI is already used in the design industry. The key might be to use AI as a tool, not a replacement for human creativity. After all, art is a way to express what it means to be human.
28．What is the main argument against AI in art
A．AI is too slow. B．AI is too expensive.
C．AI lacks human feelings and experience. D．AI cannot paint.
29．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A．A painting created by AI. B．The soul. C．The grassland. D．Zhang Wei.
30．What can we learn from the 2025 survey
A．Most people accept AI art completely. B．Over 60% believed AI art should be labelled.
C．AI art will replace human art soon. D．People don’t care about AI art.
31．What is the writer’s opinion
A．AI should be banned from art. B．AI is better than human artists.
C．AI should only be used in design. D．AI can be a tool, not a replacement.

Have you ever seen young Americans drinking hot water or using Xiaohongshu This is part of a new trend (潮流 ) called “Chinamaxxing” — a word formed by putting “China” and “maxxing” together (meaning to make something the best it can be). It means trying to live like Chinese people.
Young Americans are showing their “Chinese-style” lives. They drink hot water instead of ice water. They use Chinese apps like Douyin and Xiaohongshu. They talk about how clean and fast China’s high-speed trains are. Some even learn to cook Chinese food or read Chinese web novels. Since 2025, hashtags (推文话题) like “Becoming Chinese” have been viewed over 4 billion times.
Why are young Americans doing this Many Gen Zers (people born after 1997) feel disappointed with their own country. A US survey found that only 41% of young Americans are proud to be American. They look to China and find something fresh and interesting. “It’s like heaven Americans can place hope in because we feel hopeless about our own country,” said one American reporter.
China’s development also attracts (吸引) them. They see China’s high-speed trains, safe cities, and convenient life. They wonder: if these things work so well in China, why don’t we have them
However, not everyone is happy about this trend. Some US media are worried. But for many young Americans, it’s just fun to try something new. As one fan of Chinamaxxing said: “I don’t want to be American. I don’t want to be Chinese. I just want to be cool.”
32．What is “Chinamaxxing”

C．They use Chinese apps and drink hot water.
34．According to the passage, how do many Gen Zers feel about their own country
A．They feel proud of it. B．They feel disappointed with it.
C．They feel it’s the best in the world.
35．What can we know from the last paragraph
A．Many young Americans are just following a trend.
B．Many young Americans want to become Chinese.
C．Most young Americans really like their own country.
36．What is the main idea of the passage

China’s Space Mice: Tiny Astronauts on a Big Mission (使命)
①China has sent four special mice to the Tiangong Space Station, marking its first experiment (实验) with small mammals (哺乳动物) in space.
②The journey began with 300 mice. Scientists spent 60 days choosing the best ones. The mice had to pass many tests. For example, they needed to stay on a turning stick for more than 110 seconds to show they were strong. This is important for fighting space sickness. They even had to find their way through mazes to show how well they could remember places. Only 48 mice made it. Finally, two male and two female mice were chosen.
③These black mice have very similar genes (基因) because they come from a special group. This helps scientists get more exact results from the experiments. Their space home was made just for them. It has controlled temperature, enough food and water, and a system to clean waste, just like they would in nature.
④In space, astronauts moved the mice into a special research box. This box was brought to the station earlier by the Tianzhou-9 cargo ship. Scientists on the ground will watch the mice through cameras. They want to learn how living without gravity (引力) and in a small space influences the mice. They will study how the mice move, eat, and sleep. Another interesting experiment will look at how space changes tiny things inside their bodies.
⑤This mission is very important because it is a “from 0 to 1” breakthrough (突破). It tests if China can safely send mammals to space, care for them, and bring them back. Mice are good for space research because their bodies are similar to humans in many ways. What we learn from them will help keep astronauts safe on long space trips. It will also support China’s plans to send people to the moon before 2030 and to Mars one day.
⑥After their space trip, scientists will study them carefully. Like human astronauts, these brave little mice are helping humans get ready to explore deeper into space.
37．Which picture best describes the word “mazes” in Paragraph 2
A． B． C． D．
38．What does the word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．The space home. B．The turning rod.
C．The research box. D．The Tianzhou-9 cargo ship.
39．What can we know about the four mice from the passage
A．They passed all tests easily and their home is exactly like Earth.
B．They will help to prepare for future human space missions.
C．They were sent to space by the Tianzhou-9 cargo ship directly.
D．They have the same genes and are the first mammals in space.
40．Why is the mice experiment called a “from 0 to 1 breakthrough”
A．It is China’s first time to send mice to the space station.
B．It is China’s first time to use cameras to watch animals in space.
C．It is China’s first time to make a special home for mice in space.
D．It is China’s first time to send mammals to space and bring them back safely.

① Have you ever hoped for a personal helper that can not only answer your questions but also do real things for you In early 2026, a new open-source AI tool named OpenClaw, also called “Lobster” (龙虾), became popular all over the world. It shows us what future AI will be like.
② Different from traditional chatbots such as ChatGPT, which can only talk with users, OpenClaw is made to act. Its biggest feature is giving AI “claws” — the ability to finish tasks on your computer. If you allow, it can work on your personal computer like Mac or PC, and can be controlled simply through common chat apps, for example, WhatsApp and Telegram. You can send a message to ask it to organize your files, send an e-mail or do online research for your school homework, and it will finish the task right away. This is because OpenClaw has a smart structure: a “brain” to think, “hands and feet” to do tasks and a “memory” to remember your habits little by little.
③ Thanks to these, soon it became extremely popular, especially in China. Big tech companies like Tencent and Alibaba quickly provided easy one-click installation (安装) services. There were even long queues outside Tencent’s offices, because people waited there for free setup. People started to call the process of using and training OpenClaw “raising a lobster”.
④ However, the powerful tool also brings big risks. OpenClaw needs high-level access (权限) to your computer to work, so it has serious safety problems. If it misunderstands your orders or is hacked by bad people, it may lose your data or leak (泄露) your personal information. In March 2026, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave warnings about these risks and told users to set it up carefully.
⑤ In general, OpenClaw is a big step for AI from “talking” to “doing”. It can help people work more efficiently, but experts say people must use it carefully and always control it by themselves.
46．What is the biggest difference between OpenClaw and traditional chatbots like ChatGPT
A．OpenClaw is more expensive to use.
B．OpenClaw is only popular in China.
C．OpenClaw can take action and finish tasks itself.
D．OpenClaw isn’t able to answer questions from users.
47．How can users control OpenClaw according to the passage
A．Through common chat apps.
B．Through messages and e-mails.
C．By calling the tech company directly.
D．By using special programs only on Mac.
48．Why does the writer mention long queues outside Tencent’s offices
A．To show how popular OpenClaw is
B．To complain Tencent’s bad service.
C．To tell us OpenClaw is hard to set up.
D．To explain how to use OpenClaw correctly.
49．What is the main safety risk of OpenClaw
A．It may make the computer broken easily.
B．It can make people become too lazy to work.
C．High-level access may cause data loss or leak.
D．It may lead to misunderstandings about bad people.
50．What is the structure of this passage (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2 …)
A． B． C． D．

Imagine drinking warm water instead of cold drinks, making pear soup on a lazy evening, or practising baduanjin (八段锦) to start your day. Nowadays, these are no longer only Chinese habits. More and more foreigners are falling in love with Chinese daily habits, and the idea of “Becoming Chinese” is winning hearts all over the world. From New York to London, foreigners are sharing their “Chinese-style days,” showing that you needn’t change your nationality to love Chinese daily life.
What makes these habits so popular For most people, it is because they are good for health and easy to do. Unlike expensive gym cards or expensive health products, Chinese daily habits are cheap and easy to learn. “Drinking warm water makes my stomach feel much better,” a US life blogger said. Another user said that 10 minutes of baduanjin every day has fixed her sleep problems. The small changes fit people’s wish for a slower, healthier lifestyle—no wonder this trend (趋势) became popular!
Two main reasons make this craze spread quickly: policy and technology. China has made visiting easier by making the transit visa-free (过境免签) time longer from 144 to 240 hours for travelers from 55 countries. Foreign visitors have taken this chance to walk on city streets, try local food, and share their trips online. Also, translation tools and social media let these daily moments spread fast—even if you can’t speak Chinese, you can easily follow a baduanjin guide and join the fun.
This trend is not only about habits—it is about seeing China beyond kung fu, pandas and old palaces. As friends from all over the world enjoy warm daily joys like ginger tea, congee and baduanjin to relax, it shows that Chinese culture is not only for watching but also for living and enjoying. With easier travel rules and smarter translation tools, more people will discover its charm. The “Becoming Chinese” craze is not a short-lived thing—it is a sweet start to closer cultural ties around the world.

A great scientific discovery amazed the world. Chinese scientists have already found a new method to produce water on the moon, which could change how we think about living on the moon in the future! Their discovery shows that by using lunar soil, scientists can get a lot of water on the moon.
In the past, the research on the moon showed that there might be ice at the moon’s north and south poles (极). However, there isn’t much water in lunar minerals (矿物)—only a little bit, like 0.0001 percent to 0.02 percent, which makes it hard to find and use water there. ________
The researchers, however, found something exciting, after studying the rocks and soil from the moon brought back by the Chang’e-5 spacecraft. One of the exciting things they discovered is that lunar soil melts (熔化) when the temperature rises above 1,000℃. When it begins to melt, it gives off water vapor (蒸汽). They learned that just 100g of lunar soil can produce 5.1 ml to 7.6 ml of water. So, if we had one ton of lunar soil, we could get between 51 kg and 76 kg of water. That’s enough for 50 people to drink for one day!
All in all, this research reveals new possibilities for finding water on the moon. It’s important for future trips to the moon and people who might live there someday. As we learn more about how to get water from lunar soil, we get closer to the dream of humans living on the moon!

In 2026, the “spring and autumn holidays” for primary and secondary school students became a hot topic at the Two Sessions. The government will support qualified areas to pilot (试行) these short holidays, while carrying out a staggered paid leave system for workers. Provinces like Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan have already tested the policy with good experience, aiming to let families travel in off-peak seasons and boost local consumption (消费).
These holidays bring great benefits to students. They can reduce study pressure after long learning periods and keep students healthy both physically and mentally. With mild weather, students can step out of classrooms to take part in practical activities, such as farming activities, nature observation and local cultural learning. This helps turn textbook knowledge into real-life experience and creates a win-win situation for education and society.
However, there are still challenges. Many working parents can’t look after their children during the holidays. To solve this problem, schools now offer childcare services with colorful activities, and local communities provide more programs. The holidays can also be set flexibly according to local conditions. In short, these holidays are an important educational innovation, helping students grow in a healthier and more meaningful way.

Electric vehicles are everywhere. According to the International Energy Agency, sales of electric cars reached 10 million in 2025, accounting for 18% of all new car sales worldwide. There are electric cars on the streets of every major city, and electric buses and trucks are becoming more common too.
Now electric vehicles have reached another milestone: they are now cheaper to own than gasoline cars in most countries. According to a study published in the journal Nature Energy, the total cost of owning an electric car—including purchase price, fuel, and maintenance—is now lower than that of a gasoline car in the United States, Europe, and China.
Julia Martinez is an energy economist at the University of California, Berkeley. She’s the study’s lead author. “For me, the day when electric cars become cheaper than gasoline cars is a turning point in history,” she said. “It means that the transition to clean transportation is no longer just an environmental issue—it’s also an economic one.”
Martinez defines the transition we’re in now as the period in which renewable energy and electric vehicles will replace fossil fuels and gasoline cars. Electric vehicles becoming cheaper than gasoline cars is one example of that transition.
Why are electric cars getting cheaper
Electric cars are getting cheaper because of advances in battery technology. The cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by 89% since 2010, and it is expected to fall even further in the coming years. This has made electric cars much more affordable for consumers.
But according to Martinez’s study, there are still some challenges to overcome. One of the biggest challenges is the lack of charging infrastructure. Many people still don’t have access to a charging station at home, and there aren’t enough public charging stations in many areas. Another challenge is the time it takes to charge an electric car. Even with fast chargers, it still takes about 30 minutes to charge a car to 80% capacity.
Martinez said that she and her team first learned about the falling cost of electric cars when they analyzed data from car manufacturers and government agencies. They decided to learn more by doing research on the total cost of ownership of electric cars versus gasoline cars. For their study, the researchers collected data from 15 different countries over a 10-year period.
What does it mean for the future
Scientists believe that the falling cost of electric cars will lead to a rapid increase in their adoption. By 2030, electric cars are expected to account for 50% of all new car sales worldwide. This will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.
But it isn’t all good news. The increased demand for electric cars will lead to an increased demand for lithium and other minerals used in batteries. This could have environmental impacts of its own. “It’s really a complex issue,” Martinez said. “We need to make sure that the transition to electric vehicles is done in a sustainable way.”
85．What does Martinez mean by saying “the day when electric cars become cheaper than gasoline cars is a turning point in history”
A．Electric cars will be more popular than gasoline cars.
B．The transition to clean transportation is now economically viable.
C．Gasoline cars will no longer be produced.
D．Electric cars are better for the environment.
86．How did Martinez and her team do their research on electric cars
A．By collecting and analyzing data from car manufacturers and government agencies.
B．By taking lots of photos of electric cars in different countries.
C．By interviewing people who own electric cars.
D．By reading books about the history of electric cars.
87．What does the underlined word “adoption” most probably mean
A．Acceptance and use. B．Rejection. C．Production. D．Sale.
88．What can we learn from Martinez’s words in the last paragraph
A．She plans to stop buying electric cars.
B．She thinks electric cars are bad for the environment.
C．She is sure that electric cars will solve all our environmental problems.
D．She believes the transition to electric vehicles needs to be done sustainably.

① Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we learn. For many junior high school students, AI tools have become part of daily study. Apps like AI homework helpers, vocabulary learning robots and grammar checkers are widely used.
② Some students say AI makes learning easier. For example, when they meet difficult math problems, they can take a photo and get step — by — step explanations in seconds. AI vocabulary apps can make personalized study plans based on their weak points, helping them remember words faster. Some students also use AI to practice spoken English — they talk to AI chat tools and get immediate feedback (反馈) on pronunciation.
③ However, not everyone thinks AI is good for learning. Some teachers worry that students may depend too much on AI and lose the ability to think on their own. If students just copy AI answers without understanding them, they will not make real progress. Also, overusing electronic devices with AI may hurt students’ eyesight and take up too much of their free time.
④ Schools are trying to use AI properly. Some teachers ask students to use AI to find information, but then write reports in their own words. Others encourage students to use AI to check mistakes, but not to get final answers. Many schools also set rules for using AI in class to make sure it helps instead of harming learning.
⑤ As AI develops, it will continue to influence education. The key is to use it wisely — let AI be a helper, not take the place of our own thinking and hard work.

Recently, many people in China have been “raising lobsters (龙虾)” online. This is not real seafood. It is a fun way to say they use and train an AI tool called OpenClaw. Its logo is a red lobster.
We have had AI tools like ChatGPT for a few years. They are helpful, but they only answer when people tell them to do something. They can tell you what to do, but they cannot finish real work for you.
OpenClaw is made by Peter Steinberger, a software (软件) developer from Austria. This AI can really do work. It sends emails, helps manage your time, books plane tickets and controls smart home tools. It works in chat apps, so you can send messages to it just like talking to a friend. What makes OpenClaw special is its long-term memory. It saves information even after you turn it off. It learns your habits, follows your work and sends you useful messages before you ask. For example, it may tell you your most important work of the day every morning.
This AI uses a “heartbeat” timer (计时器). It checks work every 30 minutes, and users can change this time. It keeps working by itself without your messages. But OpenClaw has big safety problems. Reports say there are over 40,000 OpenClaw accounts (账户) online. More than 60 percent of them have problems that let bad people take control. In March, China gave two official warnings about this AI.
There is also a social app called Moltbook. AI agents (AI智能体) share posts there, but it may let out all the users’ personal information. Experts say this new kind of AI brings both convenience and great danger.
94．How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 1
A．By explaining a new phrase.
B．By telling a long story.
C．By showing some numbers.
D．By giving a suggestion.
95．Which of the following is an opinion
A．Peter Steinberger created OpenClaw.
B．Over 40,000 OpenClaw accounts exist online.
C．The new AI brings convenience as well as great danger.
D．OpenClaw checks work every thirty minutes by default.
96．What is special about OpenClaw’s long-term memory
A．It can only save information for a short time.
B．It needs people to send messages to work.
C．It can’t learn people’s habits.

WORLD’S FASTEST ROBOT FINISHES HALF MARATHON IN UNDER 50 MINUTES
Beijing, April 19, 2026 — The second annual Beijing E-Town Humanoid Robot Half Marathon made history today as a robot named “Lightning” crossed the finish line in 50 minutes and 26 seconds, beating the human world record by nearly seven minutes.
Lightning, developed by the Chinese company Honor Robotics, stood 1.75 meters tall and weighed 65 kilograms. Unlike last year’s competitors, which needed remote control for most of the race, Lightning ran 85% of the course completely autonomously, using its onboard AI to navigate turns, avoid obstacles, and manage its energy.
“When we started this project two years ago, our goal was simply to finish,” said Dr. Lin Wei, chief engineer at Honor Robotics. “Now we are talking about beating human records. This shows how fast the field is advancing.”
The race featured 35 robots from 12 countries. Six of them completed the full 21.0975-kilometer distance, compared to only two in 2025. A robot from Germany named “Beethoven” came in second with a time of 1 hour and 12 minutes, while “Tiangong Ultra” from China placed third.
One of the most touching moments came when a small robot called “Little Helper” fell at the 15-kilometer mark. Its team thought the race was over, but the robot stood up on its own after 30 seconds and continued. It finally finished in 2 hours and 55 minutes, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd.
“These robots are not just machines,” said Liang Liang from Yizhuang’s Administrative Committee. “They show us what happens when human determination meets artificial intelligence. Their small steps today are giant leaps for tomorrow’s technology.”
The event also included a “human-robot relay” where runners could pass a special token to a robot partner. More than 200 human runners signed up for this new category.
