Online games constantly make life and death decisions at their keyboards, but it’s just a game. A Texas
gamer was faced with a real-life situation and helped 1 the life of a fellow player, 5,000 miles away.
Aidan, in England, was playing an online game in his bedroom when he had a seizure. His playing partner,
Dia, in Texas, just put her headset on and heard what she could only describe as a seizure, so she started to get 2

It was my last class before summer break, and I was finishing up the first year of a Master of Fine Arts
(MFA) program in poetry. Unsure if I deserved a place in the program, I worried I wasn’t as talented as my peers.
When the professor asked about our summer plans, I panicked. I didn’t want to appear idle, so without much
thought, I blurted out “gardening”. Surprisingly, my professor nodded and mentioned Emily Dickinson loved
gardening.
Emily Dickinson, a great American poet, studied plants as a child. But I was in my late twenties, lived in a
New York apartment and had no gardening experience.
A few days later, I was standing in line at a store and spotted some seedlings. I thought I should get
something. At least I could say I had tried gardening. Wait, was that a jalapeno (墨西哥辣椒)? I picked it up.
Back home, I called an urban farmer friend. He told me that jalapenos aren’t houseplants and need plenty of
sunlight to thrive. I didn't have outdoor garden space, but I had a pot, some soil and plenty of ambition.
Over the summer, the plant grew, not enormous but bigger. I was proud. Maybe I didn’t have a black thumb
after all.
I started the second year of my MFA, and then — as sometimes happens in New York — I had to move out
of my apartment. I stayed with my friends for a while, and my jalapeno came with me. By the time I found my own
apartment, it was almost December and my jalapeno was suffering: many of its leaves had fallen off. I set it next to
a window by the kitchen sink, and hoped for the best.
I continued to work hard in school. Then spring came. My jalapeno plant came back to life. It grew bigger,
with new leaves. And it flowered when I submitted my graduate thesis — a book of poems — in May.
I was washing some dishes one day when my professor called. “Your poems are strong,” he said. “You’ve
come very far.” I’d done it! I went back to the dishes, but something was off. The flowers on my jalapeno were
gone. Had I done something wrong? I peered closer. Where a flower had been, a tiny green fruit pushed through.
24．Why did the professor mention Emily Dickinson?
A．To explain Dickinson’s impact.
B．To introduce a literary reference.
C．To justify gardening as meaningful.
D．To assess the author’s confidence.
25．What does the underlined phrase “a black thumb” probably mean?
A．A short and thick finger.
B．A talent for farming.
C．Inability to do gardening.
D．Unexpected good fortune.
26．Which of the following best describe the author’s MFA journey?
A．Creative but complex.
B．Challenging but fulfilling.
C．Systematic but eventful.
D．Interesting but demanding.
27．What does the author’s experience show?
A．Still waters run deep.
B．Fortune favors the bold.
C．Well begun is half done.
D．Patience bears a golden fruit.

Do you spend hours scrolling through social media every day? A recent study suggests that excessive social
media use may affect teenagers’ ability to concentrate. Conducted by researchers from Peking University, the study
surveyed 2,000 teenagers aged 13 to 18 across China.
The study found that teenagers who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are 2.5 times more likely
to have difficulty concentrating in class than those who spend less than 1 hour. “Social media platforms are
designed to attract users’ attention with short videos, quick updates, and constant notifications,” explained Dr.
Zhang, the lead researcher. “This frequent switching of attention makes it hard for teenagers to focus on a single
task for a long time.”
In addition, the study revealed that excessive social media use is associated with poor sleep quality, which
further impacts concentration. Teenagers who use social media before bedtime tend to fall asleep later and have
more fragmented sleep. “Sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and cognitive development,” Dr. Zhang said.
“Poor sleep makes it difficult for teenagers to stay focused during the day.”
However, the study also noted that not all social media use is harmful. “Moderate use, such as using social
media to learn new knowledge or communicate with friends, can have positive effects,” Dr. Zhang added. “The key
is to maintain a balance between online and offline activities.”
Professor Wang, a child psychologist, emphasized the importance of parental guidance: “Parents should help
their children set reasonable time limits for social media use and encourage them to engage in more face-to-face
interactions and physical activities.”
28．What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A．The purpose of the study.
B．The impact of social media on concentration.
C．The design of social media platforms.
D．The methods used in the study.
29．According to the study, what is another effect of excessive social media use?
A．Poor sleep quality.
B．Lack of friends.
C．Lower academic performance.
D．Increased physical illness.
30．What does Dr. Zhang think of moderate social media use?
A．It is a waste of time.
B．It can be beneficial.
C．It should be avoided.
D．It causes sleep problems.
31．What advice does Professor Wang give to parents?
A．Forbid their children from using social media.
B．Monitor their children’s online activities at all times.
C．Help their children balance social media use and real-life activities.
D．Let their children decide how much time to spend on social media.

Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings
throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than
200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton.
Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn’t been born yet, or is a baby now. That’s because the quest for a
unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New
math must be created before the problem can be solved.
But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.
For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein’s day, there were only a few thousand
physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a
streetcar with seats to spare.
Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein’s training that is overlooked is the years of
philosophy he read as a teenager — Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think
independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn’t long before he became a philosopher himself.
“The independence created by philosophical insight is — in my opinion — the mark of distinction between a
mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth,” Einstein wrote in 1944.
And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein
would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.
Today, universities have produced millions of physicist s. There aren’t many jobs in science for them, so they
go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical — and rewarding — efforts.
“Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene “but it would
be a lot harder for him to be heard.”
Especially considering what Einstein was proposing.
“The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea!” Greene said at a recent gathering at
the Aspen Institute. “It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe
you’ll find the solution.”
Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his “miracle year” of1905. These
“thought experiments” were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der
Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.
What might happen to such a submission today?
“We all get papers like those in the mail,” Greene said. “We put them in the junk file.”
32．What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs?
A．Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits.
B．It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.
C．It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory.
D．No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years.
33．What was critical to Einstein’s success?
A．His solid foundation in math theory.
B．His independent and abstract thinking.
C．His talent as an accomplished musician. D．His untiring effort to fulfill his potential.
34．What does the author tell us about physicist s today?
A．They tend to neglect training in analytical skills.
B．They are very good at solving practical problems.
C．They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.
D．They attach great importance to publishing academic papers.

You may not teach weekly AI classes in school, but that doesn’t mean you can’t incorporate information
about it into your lessons. Use these tips to find ways to teach students what AI is, why it matters, and how to use it
responsibly:
35 The first step to understanding anything is learning more about it. You can build background
knowledge on AI, its tools, and its uses throughout other lessons. Our Artificial Intelligence unit for Newsela ELA
and our Complex Topic: Artificial Intelligence text set for Newsela Social Studies can help. Each one includes
various articles and videos to launch discussions about AI. It also includes perspectives about how AI touches fields
outside of technology, such as medicine, transportation, and education.
You don’t even need to dedicate a specific lesson to AI to bring the discussion into your classroom. 36
Say you’re teaching a unit on the Industrial Revolution. You may talk about how inventions like the cotton gin,
steam engine, or light bulb changed society as people knew it. How is that similar to what’s happening with AI
today? 37
38 You likely already teach digital media literacy and digital citizenship in your classes — even if
you don’t know you’re doing it. If you have discussions with students about using technology responsibly or
interacting with others on the internet, you’re already incorporating digital literacy and citizenship into your
lessons.
Now, it’s time to add AI to those conversations. 39 We can teach them how to spot hallucinations
(幻觉) and disinformation. We can also encourage them to do more research to find out if they can trust what AI
tells them.
A．Start by building background knowledge.
B．Therefore, students could be allowed to use AI for certain writing tasks.
C．For example, you use your social studies lessons to make past-to-present connections.
D．Such comparisons can make abstract technological concepts more relatable to students.
E．Finally, consider organizing hands-on activities where students experiment with AI tools.
F．Another key area is adding AI to your digital media literacy and digital citizenship lessons.
G．When we address and set best practices for using AI in school, we can help students become smarter about
using the tool.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance
food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon
emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly.
However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the
whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and
irrigation, contribute much more.
In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example.
In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the
apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring,
therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses
a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly
than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate.
We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more
emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these
are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a
higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny
fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel
machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower.
It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance
consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So
driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce.
40．Why is buying local food promoted by campaigners?
41．What makes locally grown food use more energy than imported food?
42．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
If aiming to reduce carbon emissions, people should consider the whole farming process, the type of
transport and a product’s journey whose destination is the supermarket.
43．Excluding environmental concerns, would you prefer to buy local food or imported food? Why?（In about 40
words）
