This dramatic way of teaching has proved to be effective. To date, Guo has made more than 100 short science videos about animals and plants, as well as ecology systems. People can find information on a wide range of interesting natural phenomena（现象）in Guo’s educational videos on the popular short video-sharing platform Douyin.

“Science videos are not easy to make. You have to be professional as well as lively and interesting. Only in this way can people with different levels of knowledge understand,” Guo says.

As a result, his efforts have attracted more than 14,000 followers since March. Some of his videos have received as many as 17,000 likes.

When you are back home, it just takes a few words to wake up the Back Home Model. In this model, air conditioner and lights are turned on, and even curtains are closed. Relaxing music plays softly. In the kitchen, cookers and other tools have cooking plains, making it easier than ever to cook like a master cook. They are all powered by Huawei’s self-developed operating system Harmony OS with 5G and AI wireless technologies. By simply touching phones for once, all connections are built.
However, before this creative system, traditional smart home products are not as smart as they should be. Su Ying, living in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, has more than 50 smart products in his home. “Though I can use an app to turn off the lights in the living room while I am in the bedroom. I have met several problems,” Su said. “It is difficult to connect the phone with 50 home products. Different apps are needed but many of them are less used, and end up as just being useless,” he added.
But now, these above problems are solved. Shao Yang, chief officer of Huawei, said the company aims to provide the most intelligent service in an orderly manner, unlike the traditional ways of managing independent and unconnected products. In July more than 300 million of the company’s products have been with HarmonyOS, which makes it the world’s fastest-growing operating system.
It is in line with a world report by US communication service company Plume. The company found that world users have growing interest in the things of Internet and smart home technologies. The number of connected products per home stood at about 17.1 at the end of June 2022, up 10 percent compared with the same period of last year.

If you’ve ever watched a dog nap（打盹）,you may wonder if animals dream. It’s a difficult question. We still don’t know exactly why humans dream, or why dreams might be important. Studying animal dreams is even harder: dogs can’t tell us what makes them whine（哭啼）or run while asleep. However, scientists are trying their best to learn more about animal dreamers, and the good news is that they have discovered more than ever before.
Cats are some of the first animals researchers turn to. It is found that cats would move as if awake, hunting, jumping and defending themselves against imaginary threats（威胁）. Scientists call this ‘paradoxical sleep’. It is the time when the body is still but the mind remains fully active. It also provides a window into what is happening in the cats’ sleeping brains.
Things seem to be different in rats’ dreams. Research has shown that after rats run a maze（迷宫）during the day, they can rerun the same route while asleep. This suggests that some part of the animal brains can make and store memories when awake. Later when asleep, these memories get brought up again.
Zebra finches, a kind of songbirds, also dream to replay their waking experience. While the birds sleep, their brain reproduces the song they heard and sang that day, suggesting the birds remember and practice songs in their sleep. Many scientists suppose finches have a similar sleep structure as humans.
Today, scientists would not be surprised at the dreams found in animals. They are getting closer to a scientific study of those dreams, and the discoveries tell us that humans are not the only species capable of remembering and learning.
41. Why does the writer talk about dogs in the first paragraph?
A. To describe dogs’ most common dreams.
B. To explain what dogs usually dream about in a nap.
C. To explain why it is difficult to study animal dreams.
D. To give an example of scientists’ latest discoveries on animal dreams.
42. Which of the following is TRUE about ‘paradoxical sleep’?
A. Cats will face real threats in this period.
B. Cats will remain still while their minds keep active.
C. Cats will turn to a windowat this time.
D. Cats will be awake quickly to go hunting or jumping.
43. Fromthe passage, we can learn that _______.
A. dogs can explain why they whine and run while asleep.
B. cats can recall maze memories in their dreams.
C. rats can make and store memories when asleep.
D. finches and humans share a similar sleep structure.
44. What is the structure of the passage?
A. B.C.D.
45. The passage is probably from _______.
A. a noticeB. a guidebookC. a newspaperD. a science report
六选五
Whether it’s changing jobs, taking care of a sick parent, or moving to a new place, disruptions（混乱）in life can make it hard to maintain moment-by-moment focus and well-being（健康）. Long-term goals remain important, but long-term focus can be hard. Daily or weekly habits supporting your long-term goals can keep you on track even when it’s hard to think ahead.
46
The first is personal reflection（反思）. This can mean keeping diaries, documenting the funny things our friends say, and recording what we are thankful for a few times per week. 47
Second, we need time for professional reflection. For example, you may sit down on a Sunday night and write down the most important to-dos in the coming week. 48. Instead, it directs your focus to what’s most important. Simple, daily or weekly reflection can make a meaningful difference in productivity and focus.
A third area is building and maintaining relationships. It’s important to manage our relationships well. For us, right now, the primary relationships are with our parents and teachers. 49.These sound like small things, but they matter a lot.
Finally, we all need to form good habits that encourage physical and mental health. Studies show that people who get at least two days of exercise per week are happier. 50.
A. We also need to try making some time to spend with a friend or two.
B. Similarly, as little as 20 minutes of exercise can boost mood as well.
C. This helps you focus on not simply what’s most visible or immediate.
D. When setting these habits, focus on the following four areas.
E. Everyone’s life looks different, but we all feel busy and stressful sometimes.
F. Such practices can help us better enjoy life events and remain joyful.

The story happened in ancient Greece. A man noticed the great storyteller Aesop was playing childish games 66some little boys. He67(laugh) at Aesop, asking him why he wasted his time on such unworthy activity.
Aesop responded by picking up a bow, 68(loosen) its string, and placing it on the ground. Then he said to the man,“Now, solve the riddle, if you can. Tell us what the unstrung（断弦的） bow 69(mean).”
The man looked at it for a long time70 had no idea what point Aesop was trying to make. The moralist explained, “If you keep a bow always bent, it will break at last, but if you let it go loose71(occasional), it will be much72(fit) for use when you want it.”
So it is with us. Our minds and73(body) are like bow. When constantly under pressure, we can eventually break. We need time to relax74(our). Taking time 75(watch) the clouds, enjoy a breeze or take a walk is necessary if we are to be our best later.

Going to Mount Huangshan reminds me of the popular Beatles’ song “The Long and Winding Road”. What is so breathtaking about the experience is the out-of-this-world scenes. The rolling sea of cloudsyou see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we76(human)are.
The hot spring77the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will 78(absolute) help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the79(hot) the spring! Strange, isn’t it? But that’s how nature is—always leaving us80 (surprise).
What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can’t help wondering how hard it81 (be) for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure82 offers a place where you can sit down your arching legs.
83the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”, and it will always stick in the visitor’s memory. It sure does in84(I). While you’re in China, Mount Huangshan is 85must to visit!
