“A friend in need is a friend indeed.” Friends are important to us. Friends help us get through hard times. Friends also influence us a lot. Let’s enjoy two poems about friendship.
To Wang Lun
I, Li Bai, sit aboard a ship about to go.
When suddenly onshore your farewell songs o’erflow.
However deep the Lake of Peach Blossoms (桃花) may be.
It is not so deep, Wang Lun! As your love for me.
A Time to Talk (By Robert Frost)
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t standstill and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed (锄地),
And shout from where I am, what is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I push my hoe in the ground,
Blade(锄头)—end up and five feet tall.
And I go up to the stonewall
For a friendly visit.
Both poems are famous in their cultures, but they tell different stories. Li Bai described the scene (场景) of his friend seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend’s visit when he was working. Li made a comparison. His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost’s poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with our friends. It tells us that nothing should get in the way of spending time with friends. The language is simple but sincere.

That night the wind and the rain woke Mary up.
“Horrid(非常讨厌的) rain!” she said. “It came because it knew I didn’t want it.”
Then she heard another noise. It was the strange crying sound. She got out of bed, picked up the candle and went out into the long, dark corridor(走廊) outside her room. As she followed it, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, she arrived at a door. She opened it quietly and went in.The room was large and full of beautiful old furniture.There was a fire in the fireplace and a candle next to a big bed. In it she could see a boy and he was crying. He had a white face, long dark hair and big grey eyes. He looked ill but he wasn’t crying because he was in pain.
Mary went towards the bed. The boy turned his head and stared (注视) at her.
“Who are you?” he whispered. “Are you a ghost?”
“No,” Mary answered. “Are you a ghost?”
He stared at her with his big eyes.
“No,” he replied. “I am Colin. Colin Craven. Who are you?”
“I am Mary Lennox. Mr Craven is my uncle.”
“He’s my father,” said the boy.
“Your father! I didn’t know that he had a son!” shouted Mary. “Why were you crying?”
“I was sad and my head hurt.”
“Did the servants (仆人) tell you about me?” asked Mary.
“No, because they know that I don’t want to see people.”
“Why not?”
“People talk about me because I’m always ill. I don’t like it. My father doesn’t like it either. But I’m going to die. If I live, I’m probably going to be a hunchback(驼背的人) like him.”
“Does your father come and see you?”
“He doesn’t want to see me.”
“Why not?” Mary asked again.
“My mother died when I was born. He feels sad when he looks at me. I think he almost hates me.”
“He hates the garden because she died,” said Mary, half speaking to herself.
“What garden?” the boy asked.
“Oh, just a garden she liked,” Mary said.
Then she said quickly, “Do you always stay in bed?”
“Yes. But a doctor from London said I must go out in the fresh air. I hate fresh air.”
“Oh,” said Mary.
Mary learned a lot about Colin. Mary began to understand that Colin was spoilt. His father gave him everything he asked for. And Colin never had to do anything if he didn’t want to do it.      
“Everyone has to do what I want,” Colin said. “I get ill if I’m angry.”
—Taken from The Secret Garden

Do you know how to get on well with people? Do you ever feel shy? What situation makes you feel shy? Do you sometimes feel that you don’t know how to interest people and have conversations with them? Do people find an excuse to leave you as soon as they can?
Try listening! Here is an example of mine.
One evening last week, I was sitting with Hannah, and she said to me, “You are a great mom!” And I said, “Why do you say that suddenly?” She said, “Well, although you are always busy, you always stop to listen to me.”
Here is some advice about listening:
※ Show the other person that you are listening.
※ Look at them.
※ Smile and nod quite often.
※ Shake your head or raise your eyebrows if you don’t follow what they are saying.
※ Don’t tap your foot because this will show impatience.
※ Don’t look at your watch unless you really have to know the time. If you show the impatience, then the other person won’t make friends with you any more.
A good listener has magic! A good listener can make people feel good, and is as important as a good talker at a party. But just listening is not enough. One should listen smartly by trying to find out what the other person would really like to communicate.
18．Hannah thought her mother was great because ________.
A．her mother always listened to her B．her mother was busy
C．her mother got on well with others D．her mother was sitting with her
19．When you are listening to others, you shouldn’t ________.
A．look at your watch all the time B．look at their eyes
C．smile and nod D．show your attitude
20．If you tap your foot when listening to others, maybe you’ll ________.
A．be a good listener B．lose their friendship
C．agree with them D．be a good friend
21．What should be the best title of the passage?
A．How to make friends. B．How to talk to people.
C．How to be a good listener. D．How to know a person.

“Tum left! Turn right!” In the information technology (IT) class, Zhang Ruixuan was controlling a robot to move around.
“This is part of our artificial intelligence (AI) courses,” said the 10th grader from Beijing 101 Middle School. The school provides AI classes to both junior and senior high school students. Apart from compulsory (必修的) courses that teach basic knowledge, there are also optional (选修的) courses if students want to learn more.
“This semester in our compulsory class, we have learned coding (编程) through a programming language called Python,” said Zhang. Using Python to code is a basic skill for training AI models. In recent years, Python has been tested in high school graduation exams in places like Beijing, Jiangsu and Anhui.
In fact, having AI education in schools has become a growing trend (趋势) in many places, with Zhejiang province being atypical example. In 2020, Zhejiang added AI education into textbooks from Grade 5 in primary school all the way to senior high. In the city of Wenzhou, the government is planning to build 1, 000 AI experimental schools by 2025.
“With the development of technology, our textbooks have been changing all the time,” said Shang Yin, an IT teacher from Beijing 101 Middle School. “From typing to using Word and Excel, and then today’s coding and AI, the courses are keeping up with the times and teaching students necessary skills.” In the future, there will be more jobs where AI knowledge is required. Even in daily life, people may need to understand things like Chat GPT and the internet of things. AI education will become increasingly important, Shang added.
22．How did the writer start the passage?
A．By drawing a conclusion. B．By telling a story.

三、阅读还原7选5
请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Straight or arched (弯的), thick or thin-eyebrows come in many shapes and sizes. But what are eyebrows even for? They don’t keep us warm like our hair, or help us breathe like our noses. 26 Researchers from the University of York in the UK believe that eyebrows helped us communicate better when we were still evolving (进化).
Early humans had large brow ridges (肩骨) . This helped them show their strength. Later, as the human face evolved to become smaller and flatter (更扁平的), our eyebrows allowed us to express complex (复杂的) emotions, as well as better understand others’ emotions, The Guardian reported. 27 This is a sign that someone is willing to interact (互动) with others. While pulling our eyebrows up in the middle is an expression of sympathy (同情), Penny Spikins from York University told The Daily Telegraph. If you still find this hard to understand, just draw a simple face on a piece of paper and draw a line above the eyes. 28 You will find that it is very easy to show anger, fear or surprise on a face.
29 They can also protect our eyes. Their arched shape can help to move rain or sweat around to the sides of our faces, keeping our eyes dry, the BBC reported. Together with our eyelashes(眼睫毛), eyebrows can also help to keep dust and other things out of our eyes. 30 In that case, some researchers believe that we would have evolved same other facial feature to perform the same functions (功能) . That could make us look quite different.
A．For example, a quick flash of the eyebrows.
B．Let’s take rolling one’s eyes as an example.
C．What if we didn’t have eyebrows?
D．You can draw lines in different shapes and directions.
E．So why do we have them?
F．But this is not the only purpose of our eyebrows.
G．Eyebrows stop sweat from coming down into the eyes.


四、根据汉语提示填空
