Century-old Palace Museum: Heritage via Technology
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Palace Museum, our school hosted a themed event titled Century-old Palace
Museum: Heritage via Technology on the morning of October 10th.
The event featured two main highlights. First, renowned experts delivered lectures on digital preservation, revealing
how 3D scanning and VR technologies have revitalized ancient artifacts. Later, an AI creative exhibition showcased
students’ works, including AI-generated paintings of imperial architecture and interactive apps simulating palace tours.
Participants were deeply impressed by the fusion of tradition and technology. Not only did the event enrich our
cultural knowledge but it also inspired us to explore tech-driven solutions for heritage conservation.

I was completely knocked out by the news. My heart sank, and I didn’t know what to do. “How can I perform alone ”
I asked myself, tears welling up. But my mom said gently, “You’ve practiced so hard; don’t let fear stop you.” That night, I
stayed up thinking about whether I should go on stage by myself. Finally, I decided that I would try, because it was for the
food bank.
Finally came the big moment. As I walked onto the stage, my hands were shaking, and I could hardly breathe. I
closed my eyes and remembered the days when Emma and I sang together, which gave me courage. When I opened my
mouth, my voice came out clear and steady. The audience clapped warmly, and I felt proud of myself for the first time.
What mattered most was not perfection, but that I dared to try.绝密★启用前

For the students, researchers or simple lovers of knowledge and art, it is a privilege to have a free virtual library at
hand, being able to download important texts without spending a single dollar.
◆Internet Archive
It is a non-profit digital library created in 1996 by Brewster Kahle. In addition to millions of books available to the
general public, it also hosts a large number of video (movies), audio (music) and software files, etc. It is not necessary to
register to access the information, so any user can easily view and download it, although those who decide to register obtain
other benefits such as access to more than 1.3 million copyrighted e-books.
◆InfoBooks
Read, Learn, Grow… is the slogan of the digital library. It is divided into three sections to facilitate the search for
content, and the first called “Best books to read” focuses on a special collection of various topics classified by famous
authors. The second is “Free books and texts”, where you will find public domain literature that you can download, and the
third section contains resources to improve your reading.
◆Project Gutenberg
Project Gutenberg is a site that has available sixty thousand “free” books that are free of copyright so to speak, since
the rights according to certain laws have expired in this case. That is why they can be downloaded with total peace of mind.
The Project Gutenberg also has an Open Audio book Collection, almost 5,000 titles from 2023, via a Project Gutenberg
collaboration with Microsoft and MIT. These use neural text-to-speech technology for more natural-sounding
computer-generated audio books. These audio books are also available on major music/podcast platforms.

Maria Rodriguez, our school cafeteria server for ten years, always greeted us with a warm smile while preparing
meals. One Monday, however, I noticed her quietly wiping tears in the corner of the staff room. My first thought was that
she might be facing personal hardships — until I saw her gently holding a framed certificate and whispering, “I did it
finally.” Her tears, I soon realized, were of overwhelming pride. At 42, Maria had just earned her high school diploma (文
凭).
Struggling with hearing loss since childhood, Maria dropped out at 15 to support her sick parents. She worked
multiple low-income jobs until securing stable work in our school cafeteria. Last year, when the school introduced a new
digital ordering system, Maria’s supervisor gently explained that operating it required basic computer literacy — which in
turn required a high school credential. “We’ll keep your position,” he said, “but to continue long-term, you’ll need to
complete your diploma within two years.”
Maria enrolled in night classes at a local adult education center. Balancing her cafeteria shifts, parenting two
teenagers, and studying meant surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep nightly. She tracked her progress uniquely: every passed
practice test earned a gold star on her kitchen calendar. “Those stars shouted ‘Keep going!’ on exhausting days,” she
laughed. Her biology teacher remarked, “Maria often stayed after class to review materials — her determination was
extraordinary.”
When Maria received her diploma last month, she called it “a key opening doors I thought were sealed forever.” But
for her, graduation isn’t an endpoint — it’s a starting point. She’s now enrolled in online business courses. “My next goal
is to manage a food-service team,” she declared. “This is just the beginning.”
4．Why was Maria crying in the staff room
A．She felt exhausted from overwork. B．She recalled her family difficulties.
C．She had achieved an important milestone. D．Her supervisor criticized her performance.
5．How did Maria motivate herself during tough times
A．By prioritizing sleep over studying. B．By reducing her workload significantly.
C．By focusing on small symbols of progress. D．By seeking financial support from the school.
6．What does Maria mean by calling her diploma “a key opening doors I thought were sealed forever”
A．The diploma has brought her immediate wealth.
B．The diploma has made her lose some important relationships.
C．The diploma has allowed her to unlock physical doors in the school.
D．The diploma has opened up new opportunities she once thought were impossible.
7．Which of the following best describes Maria’s character
A．Brave and determined. B．Persistent and ambitious.
C．Careful and responsible. D．Timid and easily discouraged.
C
The Great Barrier Reef, located off the coast of Queensland, Australia, is one of the most extraordinary natural
wonders on Earth. Stretching over 2,300 kilometers, it is not only the largest coral reef system in the world but is also
visible from space. Home to thousands of species of marine life, including fish, turtles, sharks, and corals, the reef is a
biodiversity hot spot and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The reef’s vibrant ecosystem is built by tiny organisms called coral polyps (珊瑚虫).These creatures secrete calcium
carbonate (碳酸钙) to form hard skeletons, which over time create the complex structures we recognize as coral reefs. The
reef’s health depends on a delicate balance of environmental conditions, including water temperature, salinity, and sunlight.
However, the Great Barrier Reef faces significant threats. Climate change is the most pressing issue, as rising ocean
temperatures cause coral bleaching (褪色) — a phenomenon where corals expel the algae (海藻) that give them color and
nutrients. Without these algae, corals turn white and become more susceptible to disease. Pollution from agricultural runoff
and plastic waste further exacerbates the problem, while overfishing disrupts the reef’s ecological balance.
Efforts to protect the reef are underway. The Australian government has implemented (贯彻) stricter regulations on
fishing and pollution, and scientists are exploring innovative solutions such as coral farming and genetic engineering to
restore damaged areas. Public awareness campaigns also play a crucial role in encouraging sustainable practices among
tourists and local communities.
Despite these efforts, the future of the Great Barrier Reef remains uncertain. Experts warn that without immediate
and coordinated global action, the reef could lose much of its biodiversity within the next few decades. This would not only
be a tragedy for marine life but also have devastating (毁灭性的) consequences for the millions of people who depend on
the reef for their livelihoods.
8．Why is the Great Barrier Reef visible from space
A．Because of its large size. B．Because of its bright colors.
C．Because of the reflection of sunlight. D．Because of the unique structure of coral polyps.
9．How do coral polyps contribute to the reef’s structure
A．By producing colorful pigments.
B．By secreting calcium carbonate to build the reef framework.
C．By providing food for other marine organisms.
D．By creating strong currents around the reef.
10．According to the text, what mainly leads to coral bleaching
A．Overfishing activities.
B．Plastic waste existing in the ocean.
C．Pollution arising from agricultural runoff.
D．The increasing temperatures of the ocean as a result of climate change.
11．What’s a consequence if the Great Barrier Reef loses much of its biodiversity
A．The ocean temperature will decrease. B．It will have no impact on marine life.
C．It will be a tragedy for marine life. D．The coral polyps will reproduce faster.
D
Millions of monarch butterflies (黑脉金斑蝶) once covered the trees of California’s coastal areas each winter, but
now their numbers are decreasing.The recent annual Western Monarch Count found that the butterfly population was down
by 99 percent from populations 40 years ago.
Monarch butterflies have two populations: eastern and western varieties separated by the Rocky Mountains. The
populations are very similar in appearance, but western monarch butterflies are generally smaller and darker in color. The
two also follow different migration patterns.Eastern monarch butterflies spend winter in Mexico, while western ones gather
on central California coasts to wait out the cold.
In early spring, the two leave their rest places and begin to travel eastward.By the time the butterflies reach the
Central Valley, they breed (繁殖). A butterfly can lay hundreds of eggs in a few weeks, and the new generation continues
the migration.The cycle of generations and migration repeats every few weeks through the summer until the butterflies
move as far as Idaho. And when the weather turns cold and the days get shorter, the butterflies return to California’s coasts.
The overwintering population was counted every year. The missing information is the time period when the
butterflies leave their winter woods and begin to breed in February, March and April. “We just don’t know what they’re
doing in that middle period and how we can better support the population,” said Washington State University biologist
Cheryl Schultz. “Maybe they’re resting in the woods, or maybe they need more fuel along the way, etc. Any of those thing
might help monarch butterflies get from the coastal overwintering sites to breeding sites broadly in the Central Valley,”
Schultz added. To fill that gap, the researchers set up the Western Monarch Mystery Challenge.
The ten week program asks the public to submit photographs of monarch butterflies outside of their winter range.
“We couldn’t be looking for monarch butterflies right now without the involvement of the community. There just aren’t
enough of us,” Schultz said. “Reaching out to the community means we might be able to learn something where there is
virtually no other way to learn it.”
12．From Paragraph 1, we know monarch butterflies _______.
A．are counted by researchers every decade
B．are in a very difficult situation now
C．have lost their home in California
D．have moved to new places
13．What do the two varieties of monarch butterflies have in common
A．Their breeding places.
B．Their appearance and size.
C．Their way of fighting against cold.
D．Their migration destination in winter.
14．Why was the Western Monarch Mystery Challenge set up
A．To know the exact number of monarch butterflies.
B．To help monarch butterflies get through tough winters.
C．To know better about monarch butterflies to help them.
D．To find out the influence of human activities on monarch butterflies.
15．What do Schultz’s words in the last paragraph show
A．It’s challenging to make the community get involved.
B．It’s important to get help from the public.
C．It’s difficult to study monarch butterflies.
D．It’s rewarding to learn from the public.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Age has its privileges in America, and one of the more prominent of them is the senior citizen discount. Anyone who
has reached a certain age — in some cases as low as 55 — is automatically entitled to dazzling array of price reductions
at nearly every level of commercial life. 16 Practically unheard of a generation ago, the discounts have become a
routine part of many businesses — as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.
People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them; yet, millions of Americans above
age 60 are healthy and solvent(有支付能力的 ). Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or
anyone under 30 freely offer them to older Americans. The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that―
elderly and―needy are synonymous (同义的). Perhaps that once was true, 17 To be sure, there is economic
diversity within the elderly, and many older Americans are poor. But most of them aren’t.
It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies. For many firms, they are a
stimulus to revenue. But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly, of younger Americans.
Moreover, they are a direct irritant in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.
18 Indeed, employment is a sore point. Buoyed(支持)by laws and court decisions, more and more older
Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job —thereby lessening employment and
promotion opportunities for younger workers.
19 It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority
over those of others. Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can’t take care of themselves and
need special treatment; 20 Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting
against — discrimination by age.
A．As the younger generation complains about low rate of employing, it’s high time that we need to reflect.
B．but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population.
C．Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits, which mostly involve a
transfer of resources.
D．Eligibility is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate.
E．Far from a kind of charity they once were, senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a
group with millions of members who don’t need them.
F．and they threaten the creation of a new myth that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of
children and other age groups.
G．The elderly, being financially underprivileged, need humane help from society. Senior citizen discounts can make up for
the inadequacy of the Social Security system.

When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small
grocery store downstairs in my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the
sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were
encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement
filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to
participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma,
one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about
singing together in the talent show ” she grinned. “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help
following you here.” Dear, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little
talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two The talent show for the food bank ” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “Why not practise right
now upstairs I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and
rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance,
Emma called saying that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
