I’m a millennial (千禧一代) who grew up in the US during the rise of the modern Internet and someone who has studied Chinese and lived in China for several years now. I’ve now become familiar both with the language and different slang (俚语) words in both Chinese and English. Yet, something that’s always stood out to me when comparing English and Chinese slang is the abundance of numerically-based slang words that work like code words for Chinese expressions. Let’s break down a few and compare.
We can start with 520. This number has a similar pronunciation to “I love you” in Chinese. The closest match I can think of in English to this would be something like “I <3 you” or “I heart you”, representing “I love you”. Still, the Chinese expression can be taken a step further through puns (双关语) using the date to represent the phrase in ways that English cannot.
Another number-based pun is “2333”. Now, this one may seem even more confusing to a native English speaker since, if you follow the same pattern, you will find the pronunciation doesn’t seem to relate to any Chinese expression. But here, we get the sound of laughter: ahahaha! Interesting, isn’t it
Finally, saving the best for last, we have the famous phrase “666”. In Western culture, 666 is rarely seen as a lucky number; instead, it is often associated with evil forces or other unlucky signs. Yet, it is the complete opposite in Chinese, where 666 actually represents three repeated “liu” sounds. The hand gesture representing six—the thumb and little finger outstretched with the other fingers closed—is the same gesture in the US to represent something awesome or cool just happened!
Clearly, slang is dependent on the language and culture it originates from. Thus, things that may seem confusing to someone with a different native language or culture simply take some adaptation to view from the right perspective.
4. What unique feature of Chinese slang is highlighted in the text
A．It is rich in number-related words.
B．It has many humorous expressions.
C．It is affected by the rise of the Internet.
D．It has some roots in the English language.
5. Which of the following would the author agree with
A．“I <3 you” is a direct translation of “520”.
B．Chinese number slang relies on pronunciation.
C．“2333” combines the sounds of four Chinese words.
D．The “six” hand gesture is perceived positively in the US.
6. What does the author suggest about the confusing foreign slang
A．Focusing on similar slang in our language.
B．Learning about the original use of the slang.
C．Shifting our way of thinking to grasp the meaning.
D．Adapting the meaning from our cultural perspective.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To recommend a way to learn Chinese.
B．To compare slang and the culture behind it.
C．To teach readers to use online slang properly.
D．To clarify common misunderstandings of Chinese.
C
AI seems to be everywhere within education — a global survey found 86% of students use AI in their studies, with nearly one in four using it daily. This can be beneficial if AI is used responsibly, in accordance with school policy. There’s no doubt that large language models can be expert in breaking down difficult concepts simply and clearly. A Nature article found that AI tutoring (辅导) outperforms in-class active learning, with college students also feeling more engaged when the content is presented by AI.
However, there’s growing evidence that students ought to be cautious when choosing to use AI. A study from MIT split subjects into three groups and asked them to write SAT essays: The group that had access to ChatGPT had the lowest brain connectivity when writing, struggled to accurately quote their own work and “consistently underperformed at neural, linguistic, and behavioral levels.” Another study found while students who used ChatGPT to research a scientific topic did have a lower cognitive load, their reasoning was less thorough. These studies start to paint a picture: AI has the potential to negatively impact our critical thinking and problem-solving skills even while saving time.
Of course, one can reasonably argue that new technology has always led to some skills becoming dated. The rise of calculators led to a decline in the importance of our ability to do mental arithmetic (算术). But AI differs from these technologies. Working to reason out a problem or research a topic not only creates better topic understanding, but it bolsters the problem-solving and critical thinking skills we use in every aspect of our daily life. Thus, the harm of skipping this process with AI is more than simply a reduced understanding of an academic concept or a skill not learned.
We should continue to research the effects of AI. Using AI for research, conceptual understanding or even coding can help, but we should take a moment before using AI to determine if we actually need it.
8. What is a characteristic of AI tutoring
A．It has gained wide recognition among teachers.
B．It excels in linking concepts to real-life situations.
C．It focuses on improving mental calculating ability.
D．It makes college students more involved in learning.
9. What do the studies in paragraph 2 find in common
A．AI improves students’ writing accuracy greatly.
B．AI promotes active participation in academic research.
C．AI reduces mental pressure while strengthening memory.
D．AI weakens students’ thinking and problem-solving abilities.
10. What does the underlined word “bolsters” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Restricts.
B．Reflects.
C．Sharpens.
D．Evaluates.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To advise on reasonable use of AI in study.
B．To stress the importance of critical thinking.
C．To show the popularity of AI among students.
D．To introduce the functions of AI in education.
D
Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school.
On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich.
However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people.
Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful.
If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left How many of these people are actually good friends According to the research, these are the only people that really matter.
12. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about
A．The number of friends you should have.
B．The advantages of having a lot of friends.
C．Some social skills you may need at work.
D．Some useful advice on how to make friends.
13. What can be inferred from Dunbar’s study
A．Most social media connections fail to develop into meaningful relationships.
B．The number of online friends directly determines one’s life quality.
C．People with 2,000 online friends have a wider circle of close friends.
D．Shared interests are the key to maintaining long-term close friendships.
14. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．10.
B．35.
C．100.
D．150.
15. What does the text mainly want to show
A．You need to spend more time with your friends.
B．There is a lot of research on the influence of friends.
C．Friends are sometimes more important than family.
D．It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends.

On his 15th birthday, Wilson Bentley’s mother gave him an old microscope. It was snowing that day, and the boy succeeded in getting a glimpse of a six-sided snowflake (雪花) with the device. ____16____
When he was 17, Bentley asked his parents to buy him a new, better microscope and a camera. Bentley then spent 2 years figuring out how to take a picture of a snowflake under a microscope. On January 15, 1885, he did it, creating the world’s first photomicrograph.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Helen Williams was a teacher of literature and writing. Every day after school, she would stay late and prepare for the next day’s class. One day, Helen stayed so late that she missed the last bus and had to walk home. On her way back, she met an old man selling some children’s storybooks. She was curious and picked up one.
“Are all these children’s stories Why are there no extra copies of them ” she humbly asked the old man. The old man introduced himself as Rowan and said he wrote them. “I had worked in a publishing house but it was shut down years ago, so I was out of work.”
Helen was fascinated by the man’s dedication to writing. “I want to buy some books from you,” Helen told Rowan. Rowan was delighted as not many people were interested in even stopping by on this crowded sidewalk. He gave Helen a book along with his address. “You can come to my place for more!”
That evening, Helen was carried away by Rowan’s stories. She couldn’t wait to meet the old man because she wanted more books. The next day after school, Helen hurried to Rowan’s address and was surprised to see an abandoned house.
Helen couldn’t believe her eyes. Rowan lived in an old house near an old factory shut down decades ago. As Helen entered it, she noticed it wasn’t furnished except for an old bed, plenty of carton boxes with papers and books ready for binding. She looked around for the old man and found him in front of an old typewriter.
“Welcome to my little nest,” Rowan greeted Helen warmly, who felt sorry for him and determined he deserved recognition. During their conversation, Helen learned that Rowan had stuck to his writing dream for decades. Even after losing his job and living in poverty, he continued to create children’s stories every day. Deeply touched by Rowan’s firm passion for writing, she resolved to help make his talent seen by more people.
Back at home, Helen took action immediately.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Before long, a publishing house contacted Rowan.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
