Red-themed cultural education plays a key role in fostering students’ patriotism and sense of responsibility. Let’s check out several excellent red-themed practice platforms that can bring revolutionary history and spirit to life for your child’s school learning experience.
Revolutionary History Virtual Museums
To make revolutionary history accessible and engaging, the National Museum of China has launched a series of virtual red-themed museums. These online exhibitions feature 3D interactive views of historic sites, interactive timelines of major revolutionary events, and audio stories of revolutionary martyrs. Students can “visit” iconic sites like the Nanhu Red Boat and the Zunyi Meeting Site from home, and learn about the struggles and sacrifices of the older generation.
Red-themed Social Practice Camps
Run by local education authorities and red culture research institutions, these offline camps take students to real revolutionary memorial sites, old revolutionary base areas, and memorial halls. During the 3-5-day camps, students can take part in hands-on activities like experiencing wartime life, making military supplies, and interviewing veterans. The camps also include group discussions to help students truly understand the red spirit.
Red Spirit Lecture Series
This online lecture series invites historians, veterans, and descendants of revolutionary martyrs to share their insights and personal stories. Each lecture focuses on a specific red spirit, such as the Long March Spirit, the Yan’an Spirit, and the Two Bombs, One Satellite Spirit. The lectures are recorded and available on the official education platform, allowing students to watch at their own pace and join live Q&A sessions.

During 20 years of stacking (码放) shelves with goods at his family’s supermarket in Pollenca on the Spanish island of Mallorca, Jose Luis-Reig, known as Pep, never gave a thought to the academic world. It was only when visiting the classrooms and passages of mainland universities with his two teenage daughters that he suddenly felt himself at home among the books and atmosphere of learning.
After school Pep had intended to do a degree in biology at Barcelona University but had been called on to help run the family business instead.
But the question of “What’s my role in life “ still kept coming back to him. It wasn’t until a year later that the answer suddenly struck him. When he was at school, other children would come to him with their problems. He developed a reputation and so was invited onto local radio, where the interviewer said, “You’re like a young psychologist.”
Pep was no stranger to change. The family business had originally been a sawmill (锯木厂), but when Pep, then 27, was asked if he wanted to take over, he decided to transform the mill into the town’s first supermarket.
One day in the shop, what the radio presenter said came back to him. After running the idea past his family, he applied to university in Palma to study psychology and, aged 46, was accepted.
“I had to get used to being much older than all the other students,” he says.“ In fact, I was older than my professor. But I believe disadvantages can always be advantages. And I ended up helping the others because I’d had more life experience that carries psychological impact, which could reflect classroom theory.
Pep came top of his year and impressed his tutors so much that he was offered a job researching and teaching, which he still does while studying for a master’s in neuropsychology. Now 52, and still in the job, he adds, “My only regret is not having done it earlier.
4. What can we know about Pep in the first paragraph

Today, with the help of AI tools, anyone can instantly generate impressive architectural images. Yet this raises a serious question: if technology lowers the technical barrier, what remains the true value of design The answer, many experts believe, lies in deeper philosophical thinking.
Architecture is not only about structure. It also reflects how humans understand life. This understanding begins with the individual — how a building can shape people’s emotions, and then extends to the community — whether a neighborhood design brings people together or drives them apart. Ultimately, it touches upon time itself — how to balance the preservation of historical identity with the need for change. In many cities, preserving every old structure, no matter its function or relevance, has become something of a sacred cow, admired by all but discussed by few. Yet true architectural philosophy requires us to ask whether preserving everything always serves the community’s best interest.
AI can copy thousands of design styles, but it cannot make value judgments. It does not know why, for instance, a library in Colombia places its reading room — not offices — in the brightest and highest spaces: a design choice symbolizing equality. As scholar Nayef AI — Rodhan points out, “good design should possess valuable qualities, including fairness, inclusion, and safety, which cannot be outsourced to AI.”
In the future, the best architects may not be those who master AI tools, but those who master philosophical reflection. Saudi Arabia’s planned city “The Line” is one such example. Its design is not only technological but also philosophical — it asks whether humans can create a sustainable city that allows people to live in harmony with nature. By turning a traditional city into a single vertical (垂直的) line, it challenges our deepest assumptions about urban life.
Freed from repetitive drafting work, architects in the age of AI must think more deeply about humanity, community, and sustainability. The great designs of the future will emerge where technology meets philosophy, not where one replaces the other.
8. What does architecture truly involve
A.The application of technology.
B.The consideration of human life.
C.The pursuit of perfect structure.
D.The focus on heritage protection.
9. What does the underlined word “outsourced” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Passed on. B.Given up. C.Taken back. D.Handed over.
10. Why is “The Line” mentioned in Paragraph 4
A.To highlight deep thinking.
B.To praise sustainable city designs.
C.To challenge existing designs.
D.To argue against the use of AI tools.
11. What is the best title for the text
A.The Future of Urban Architecture
B.Breakthrough in Traditional Design
C.The Role of Technology in Architecture
D.Reflection Beyond Architectural Design

The idea that we need to eat meat to get enough protein and iron, a false assumption of some Paleo diet advocates, is a common misconception. It ignores the abundance of protein and iron in many plant-based foods such as nuts and seeds. Likewise, while we typically associate omega-3 fatty acids with fish, fish themselves incorporate these into their tissue by eating seaweed, which we can consume directly without the concerns of exposure to microplastics in fish flesh.
Evidently, significantly reducing our consumption of meat would carry vast benefits. Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death around the world. Eating highly processed foods and red meat has been repeatedly demonstrated to promote underlying mechanisms of cancer and cardiovascular disease, such as inflammation (炎症) and damage to the lining of blood vessels. In addition to harming ourselves, eating meat harms others. Factory farming practices often imply unspeakable cruelty to animals, and working conditions for human laborers are often unsafe and inhumane as well. Overcrowding of livestock and workers promotes the spread of disease among both people and animals, putting us all at risk for future pandemics. The overuse of “routine” antibiotics to accelerate animal growth and precautiously treat the infections anticipated as a result of living in unclean and overcrowded conditions can promote antibiotic resistance.
While large-scale, well-organized national and international action is undoubtedly needed to fight unscrupulous factory farming practices—and to ensure the availability of nutritious and healthy food for all citizens, those with greater influence, such as physicians, educators and policy makers, should consider the importance of acting as role models for healthy behaviors themselves as well as advocating for policies that ensure better nutritional access and education for others.
All of these should not be excuses for individuals to resist carrying out change in their own lives and communities. Societies change when enough individuals within them alter their behavior, and it is up to each of us to act as a change agent in whatever capacity we can. We would all be well served to pull this means in our own lives as well.
12. What challenges a common belief about meat consumption
A.Microplastics make fish a poor omega-3 source.
B.Meat is not essential for obtaining key nutrients.
C.Nuts and seeds lack sufficient nutrients to replace meat.
D.Plant-based foods cannot provide enough protein and iron.
13. What can be implied from factory farming practices
A.They are technologically advanced.
B.They are morally questionable.
C.They are environmentally unfriendly.
D.They are economically efficient.
14. What does the author emphasize about societal change
A.Governments must lead policy reforms.
B.International action will solve challenges.
C.Individuals should initiate behavioral shifts.
D.Role models must play vital role in education.
15. Which best describes the article's structure
A.Comparative study.
B.Time order.
C.Cause-effect.
D.Problem-solution.
七选五
Interrupting another person’s sentence is normally considered as undesirable. However, it is not always equally impolite. In addition to the hostile (敌意的) takeover of the sentence, which serves to dominate, there are also friendly, even positive interruptions. ____16____ And it can give a conversation momentum (动力). Over 30 years ago, communication scientist Julia A. Goldberg at the University of Wyoming categorized interruptions into three types — bad, good and neutral.
An interruption in the sense of gaining power almost always happens in front of an audience. And this is precisely the type of interruption that men tend to use. Sociologists from Princeton University found that the larger a group is, the more likely it is that men will take the floor. ____17____ This is because “speaking time also has an influence on dominance”, says Kothoff.
____18____ These interruptions can be used to express interest, for example, by asking a quick question (“Do you mean Mina from 9b ”), commenting on something quickly (“How exciting!”) or making approving humming noises (“Mmm”). ____19____ The person speaking feels even more heard and there is a resonance (共鸣) between the two.
“Of course, even mild interruptions can be unpleasant for the person being interrupted,” according to communication trainer Jorg Abromeit. For example, when someone asks a question just as the speaker is about to expand on the important part of their message. Asking questions too quickly and too often can also be annoying. The situation is similar with the third group of interruptions, neutral interruptions. They have no deeper meaning. ____20____
Therefore, the key to a successful interruption lies not in the act itself, but in the intention behind it and how it makes the other person feel.
A.Conversations between people are true works of art.
B.They are neither about power nor about relationship.
C.And the more powerful men are, the longer they speak.
D.Interrupting can also be helpful and highly appreciative.
E.Being interrupted while speaking is a common thing to experience.
F.The second type of interruptions, on the other hand, consolidate a relationship.
G.This signals to the other person that you are involved and emotionally engaged.

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。
Ten-year-old Tom always felt lonely. His parents were always occupied with work. They left home early in the morning and came back late at night. Tom often ate dinner alone and went to bed without a goodnight kiss. For him, there were no family games, no city tours, no weekend outings.
One day, Tom's parents brought home a gift—a smart watch. "This watch has a special friend inside,” Mom said with a smile. "Her name is Ling. She can talk to you, answer your questions, and even tell you stories.” A wave of anticipation swept over Tom as he put on the watch and pressed the button. A gentle voice came out, "Hello, Tom! I'm Ling. Nice to meet you!” Tom's eyes lit up. He had never received such an interesting gift before.
From that day on, Ling became Tom's closest companion. Every morning, Ling would say, "Good morning, Tom! Have a great day at school!” Whenever Tom encountered difficulties with his homework, Ling would patiently provide thorough explanations. After Tom got into bed, Ling would tell his favorite tales about brave knights and magical lands. Sometimes, when Tom felt scared of the dark, Ling would sing softly to comfort him. To Tom, Ling was more than a voice; she was family.
His parents noticed Tom's change. "See Our little boy seems much happier now,” Dad said one evening. Mom agreed, "The watch really helps,” relieved. They thought their son was no longer lonely. What they didn't know was that sometimes, after Ling had finished her stories, Tom would lie awake in the darkness, listening to the silence that filled the room. He loved Ling, but he couldn't help thinking: if only Mom and Dad were here.
One afternoon after school, Tom tripped and fell on the way home. The watch hit a rock with a loud crack. When Tom picked it up, the screen was dark. He pressed the button again and again, but nothing appeared. "Ling Ling, are you there ” he called desperately. There was no reply.
Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed.

Dear Chris,
I'm writing to share the words I heard that have greatly affected me.
The sentence is "Perseverance prevails over everything". I once gave up my English learning due to poor grades. It was my teacher who told me this sentence. Since then, I have kept practicing listening and reading every day. Gradually, my English has improved greatly.
This sentence teaches me that nothing is impossible with persistent efforts.
I hope the words can benefit more students.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
读后续写范文
Tom had no choice but to turn to his parents for help. Holding the broken watch tightly, he tried hard to hold back his tears and told his parents that Ling was gone. He said sadly that Ling had accompanied him through countless lonely nights and made his life full of fun. Without Ling, he felt empty and lonely again. He finally poured out his true feelings, admitting that he had always longed for their company rather than a smart machine.
At that moment, both Mom and Dad saw clearly what they had missed. They felt extremely guilty for ignoring their son’s inner needs all the time. They knelt down and hugged Tom tightly, apologizing for spending too much time on work. They promised to spare more time to stay with him, share daily stories and take family trips. From then on, Tom’s home was filled with warmth and laughter every day.
